Battle at the Homefront

[Andy Jammer]

The woman stepped back at the appearance of Navarre but Andy quickly stepped in. "No, he's good he's with me." he assured her, "I know Allorum cause I was there, I was one of Profeta's warriors."

The woman gasped, her grip tightened on her briefcase. "You're...you're like what I once was..."

Once was...? Andy thought, he wanted to ask her what she meant by that but he saw the two men step out from earlier. The woman must have heard them because she backed up to Andy.

"Allison, be reasonable," the bulkier man spoke. "Just give us the access key and you can come back to Allorum with us."

The woman, Allison, turned to Andy and spoke in a sharp quiet voice. "If you're really a hero of Profeta, protect me from them. They can't...they can't have what they want!"

[Navarre]

All of this information was hitting Navarre a mile a minute. "Andy, I have no idea what is going on, but if it's important to you, then I can help you." He stuck his fist out in front of him, and pointed. "Let's do this!"

[Andy Jammer]

Andy looked at her and Navarre and nodded, stepping in front of her Andy punched his fist in his palm.

"Hey, you two! Leave her alone alright?"

The two men narrowed their eyes at Andy. The bulkier one spoke, "This isn't a game kid, you're messing with things you don't understand."

"What I understand is that you're threatening this woman, and it has something to do with Allorum," that got the men's eyes to widen. "And that ain't happening!"

The two men looked at each other as the weedier man spoke, "Graham, why don't you handle this?"

"Agreed," Graham, the bulkier man, spoke. Stepping up. "You say you know about Allorum, well maybe you and your friend here can fight like one."

[Navarre]

"Yea! We can fight like an Allorum!" Navarre said with a grin. He pulled his fist to the side of his mouth, and whispered, "Andy, whats an Allorum?"

[Andy Jammer]

"Let me just say this Navarre, fighting like an Allorum is a whole other world," he grinned as he got his fists ready. Andy really wished he had his sword right now, but he was equally good with his fists too. He ran at the man named Graham, getting near the wall and kicking off it a bit, giving him a little air time as he launched a fist to the man's skull. Graham caught the fist though, before he could try and kneel Andy's stomach the orange haired teen threw his other fist at his jaw, getting him to let him go.

[Navarre]

Navarre ran up around Andy, and Andy was socking on into Graham's jaw, Navarre jumped forward, landed on hsi hands. He crouched up into a ball, and then when his feet were in position, he thrust his legs right into Graham's stomach.

[Andy Jammer]

Graham coughed and stumbled back, trying to regain the wind he just lost. Andy took this time and delivered a devastating punch to his head, following it up with a punch to his chest to knock the larger man back.

"That all you got?" Andy yelled.

Graham slowly stood up, chuckling weakly, "Kid...not even close. Earth may have severe limits...but I have enough power to defeat you."

As he finished that an aura of blue fire surrounded his body, as he clenched his right hand to a fist the fire concentrated on that point and his hand was covered in blue flames.

"I'll show you the might of the Azure Flame," Graham chuckled, Andy merely narrowed his eyes and motioned at him with hands, effectively saying: bring it.

[Navarre]

Navarre just basically got frozen in time by the image of the man, who just happened to SPONTANEOUSLY BURST INTO FLAMES! "Andy... What jsut happened?" He asked as he looked at him.

[Andy Jammer]

"It looks like this guy has some of his powers from Allorum, even with Earth's magic limiters it's obvious he has some power." Andy explained, "Damn...I don't have my sword either."

Allison watched Andy and Navarre stand up to Graham, watching Andy fight and talk she began to believe more and more he was at Allorum. And the way he stood up to protect her, she could see why Profeta chose him. She looked at the suitcase in her arms and opened it, instead were two metal discs with red ornate markings on it. If he really was a warrior of Allorum, then this would work.

"Andy!" She called out to him, throwing the discs. They sailed through the air to him, Andy turned and saw them head to him. When they got close the metal suddenly turned to a liquid and landed on his arms and legs, the metal soon formed and began to take the shape of gauntlets and grieves. Andy watched in awe as the metal finished surrounded his arms and legs, creating a pair of metal fighting gauntlets and grieves for him to use.

[Navarre]

"Whoa, that was so badass!" Navarre said as he watched Andy, get some armor. "Ummm, I think you can handle the Ass Flames or whatever it was." He hopped back to make sure he didn't get into the fight by accident.

[Andy Jammer]

Andy tried not to snicker too much at Navarre's 'nickname' and got used to the feel of the fighting weapons, they felt light for something that was metal. He got himself into a fighting position as the "Azure Flame" stood before him.

(Play: Flames of Battle)

Graham, The Azure Flame, was surprised with Andy's new fighting weapons. Nonetheless he charged at Andy, his flaming fist swinging at him. Andy leaped back, moving like a boxer would dodge punches before throwing a metal fist at Graham's side. As his fist sailed through the air the glove's machinery began to whir to life and as it made contact the glove vibrated and dealt a crushing blow. Andy blinked in surprised before grinning, rushing at Graham he swung a kick out and like the glove, the grieve vibrated as it dealt a blow to Graham's upper right leg. Following it up with a poweful uppercut to the bulkier man's chest, the attack sent the "Azure Flame" through the air and on his butt.

[Navarre]

"Woot!" Navarre said as he did a fist pump. "That was awesome! Where did you learn that?"

[Andy Jammer]

Andy turned to Navarre and shrugged, "I once saw two guys in a white and red karate outfit do this and thought it was kickass."

Graham, the Azure Flame, stood back on his feet, his fist catching back with blue fire. "You little punk...I underestimated you, you really do fight like someone from Allorum. Why not help us, we're all trying to accomplish the same thing."

"Yeah?" Andy said, resuming a fight stance. "What?"

"Return back to Allorum." he said, "The woman your protecting can do it, she can open the portals back to Allorum."

Andy turned to her in surprised, "You want what?"

"Look out!" Allison cried out, Andy turned and saw when he turned his head Graham charged. Andy raised his arms to use his gloves to block it, when the flaming fist impacted it sent a spew of flames shooting out on all sides.

"Nnnnn!" Andy growled, using his strength to hold back the attack.

[Navarre]

Navarre looked around, and saw some items that could help Andy out in his fight. "Andy.... You keep doing what you do!" He said as he walked over to some rubble and look for something.

[Kouji - Hikari no Shiro Okami]

Relaxing on the beach, his black hair let out of its ponytail and left to be waved by the soft breeze, sat one Kouji Kimura, enjoying his dad and stepmom's annual excursion to American shores thoroughly as he inhaled the smell of salt.

"Such a beautiful day," he mumbled in badly-accented English as he enjoyed the sun's warming rays...

....and then everything shattered as he heard the explosion. Cursing (in his native Japanese, this time), he shot up, turning towards where the building was burning, and without even thinking about it, began to run towards the blaze, mind only on helping the people who were victims of whatever had caused it to blow up.

His idea of a nice, peaceful week on the beach shattered completely as he watched the fight break out, especially when he saw blue flames envelop one of the combatants.... then his eyes went wide as the orange-haired man turned slightly his way, and he recognized the face, as well as the (rather loud) voice that went with it.

He stopped, dumbstruck.

"A-Andy?!" he exclaimed.
