"I will provide you with everything you need," Mariette sincerely seemed like she wanted to help the man, although nothing in life comes for free. "if you'll help me fulfill my vision first."
"I'm sure you've experienced your fair share of injustice against the supernatural beings like yourself. The discrimination grows stronger as day goes by, and while you may feel relatively safe right now, with Project Candice, the human purists will inevitably purge every single one of us. I seek harmony between the humans and the supernaturals, and in order for that to happen, the first step for me is to destroy Project Candice. In order to do that, I need allies."
"If you'll help me with stopping Project Candice's terrible scheme to eradicate all supernatural beings on this planet, I will aid you in your quest to find this woman."
Normal skin and muscle cells would've been dried and fried up by the electricity of such caliber, but Gigante's shield was not a normal limb. Accentuated for battle, the arm was hard as steel, and it conducted electricity and heat very well. Gigante felt no pain through the shield portion of the arm, as it had no nervous system coursing through it. Gigante leapt, standing between Hajime and the public onsen, absorbing every lightning bolts fired from Hajime that could potentially harm Ari and Vill. He held firm like an indomitable fortress until Hajime fell to the ground, unconscious and exhausted from the outburst.
"You alright, niña?" Gigante looked back at Ari, who was looking back at him with awe, and held out his other hand. Ari grasped the helping hand and stood up. She was almost a head shorter than Gigante, but considering how huge he was, Ari's height too was impressive.
"Y- yeah." Ari nodded. She wasn't actually alright, to be honest. Her head was ringing as if she was having a headache, and her waist and her behind had a huge bruise forming up. But Ari didn't want to worry Gigante, so she lied. "He he... thanks."
"No problem." Gigante merely nodded as he retracted his shield arm: a process of the hunk of now useless skin and muscle cells falling apart as they decayed to the point they were nothing more than delicious snacks for the existing cells to devour to make up for the loss of energy caused by the extremely rapid mitosis. Gigante began to head back to his room, but added: "Dios mio, niña, you really need to pay attention to where you're going. I don't want to see you getting hurt. Am I clear?"
Ari blushed and looked down. "Okay..."
Gigante was about to walk back to his room when he was approached by another guest. She was asking about what happened with the poor man who was knocked out, but considering the scene, it was pretty obvious to anyone what happened, so Gigante decided not to answer her question.
"I hope you aren't as rowdy as him or that blonde gal in the onsen." Gigante spat as he walked past Samantha.Last edited by WriggleRid3r; 04/09/2015, 05:34 PM.
