(Private Roleplay) Asonja Core Training (with SonicSilva1)

There hadn't been any formal way of contacting the Identity. She never left a number or something along those lines. Eventually, however, someone did make an appearance. Despite not being tall, the woman was incredibly thin: thin arms, thin legs, thin torso. She wore a full-body suit, with no bodily-lines shown, and only the slightest form of feminine frames. Her "hood" was pointed, upward, collaring her neck along with the suit. The wrists and feet had dark green designs, matching the green snake eyes. Black, green, the only colors.

A very dronish, emotionless voice asked "You are Asonja?"

"Y-yes?" He answered. "And you...called me here to see you? A strange place to be contacted..."

"You were calling for someone and I am inspecting your reasons."

"Oh...well, it's because of my 'potential'. I'm unsure how to unlock it..." He states nervously.

"... Core energy," She analyzed.

"C-core energy? I don't really...have any of that. I don't even know what that is, to be frank." He replied.

"Everyone does to some extent... but you are showing higher readings... Stay here for a moment," She began vanishing.

"O-okay...? I'll be here then..." He says as he sits down.

A short minute later, Virus appeared in place of the green-suited identity.

Asonja stood up again, seeing she returned with someone else. He was still mute.

"... Hey," The red-striped feline waved.

He waved back, nervously. "H-hey. Who're you?"

"... Is this some kind of amnesia thing?" Virus asked.

"I dunno. It takes me a while to figure out who people are. I might be getting Dementia or something..." He sighs, rubbing his head.

"He discussed unlocking potential," The Green-tinted identity mentioned.

"Yeah, I had something to do with that," Virus replied. "So you remember that much."

"Sorry about that..." He sighed. "I can barely remember what I did yesterday yet I can still remember what happened 5 years ago."

"Well then I'm only a lot offended," Virus sighed.

"Let's not dwell on that for too long. I was actually asking whom the identity you brought is." He then shook his head quickly. "N-nevermind. All I'm more concerned of is unlocking my potential and I need some help as soon as possible."

"This is Device," She answered, "and alright, we can do some of that."

"Alright, good. Thanks a bunch." He nods. "So, what will we do first? I'll practically do whatever you say at this point."

"Oh ho, don't give me any ideas," She grinned deviously, walking around him a bit. "... Alright, stamina is a good place to start.  What's yours like?"

He already felt regretful that he said she could do whatever to him. He answered, "Uhh...I cannot run for more than 1 minute?"

"Alright, well go for it."

"You want me to show how much of a failure I can be?" He asked. He didn't wait for an answer as he ran straight ahead. Just like that, he was out of breath and collapsed. He managed to cover about...100 or so feet before giving up.

"Gonna pretend I didn't hear that little piece of Green Day," She commented after walking up. "Where do you feel the most in your body right now?"

He panted for a bit, then finally regained his breath. "Two things; What's Green Day, and secondly, I feel most of my body in my chest like it's on fire."

"That's because your heart and your lungs are right there, where most of your stamina comes from.  Ki ignites from your blood.  It's like the spirit version of it.  You can run out of it, die from the loss, and it looks really pretty."

He stood up as much as he could. "So...you're telling me that I have to...focus on this spiritual energy thing inside my body instead of using my lungs and heart...?"

"Well that would certainly be entertaining, but no you still need to use all of them.  If your mental self dies, so does your physical, and if your physical dies, then there's a high chance your mental self will pass on: your spirit into the afterlife."

"I see...so how do I control my 'Ki'?" He asks. He had that look of 'I really don't want to do this' and 'I have no idea what I am doing'.

"First you need to have better control over your physical body so you don't just shut down while accessing your ki.  And if you don't have any experience prior with the energy, your supply will be incredibly low.  How long will you last?" Her hand lit up blue before lunging it at his chest.

He was pushed back, hitting the back wall. He was already drained by that since the wind was knocked out. "Man...that was fast..." He fell from the wall, landing face first. He got up shortly afterwards.

Virus held a stream of murky blue energy in her hand. "This came from you..."

He walked up to it, looking at it. "This? From me? I thought I had blood in me and not...whatever this is."

"Ki..." She held up the energy a little high, licking it a bit before scrunching her face up. "that's bitter... You've got way too much mental conflict to channel this right... yet."

He took some of it himself and licked it. He taste anything first but then he reflected a bit. "Ew, you're right. I keep thinking about my past. Bitter, hint of sadness, a lot of anger of self-loathing..."

"Whoa!" She yanked the energy back. "Let's not make your tongue implode here.  Anyway, yeah that needs to fix, at least when needed." (BRB)

(Kk. You alright? .-.) "I agree...how can I empty my mind with all of this...jumbled up nonsense of my past?" He hid the fact that his tongue was infact not okay with this bitterness and he looked around frantically for something to drink like he just ate the world's hottest pepper.

(I'm good.  I just noticed that I went from 145 lbs to 146.6 and decided to take a walk to fix that.  Lot of hand-hurting chin-ups, and believe me when I say it hurts when you aren't an arm-guy >__<  Good workout though.  I listened to a Kirbopher blog because I couldn't get the TOME theme song out of my head.) "Well if you actually want to be able to improve and grow in your abiliites, you'll have to come to terms with it by overcoming it or embracing it, but in the meantime, as long as you're able to completely keep that out of your mind when needed, you'll be able to at least channel minimal ki energy."

"Alright...sounds good." He was drinking from a water bottle from who knows where he got it from, entirely gulping it down. "Geh....sorry, the aftertaste is still there..." (Is is a problem when you're trying to gain weight but your metabolism is like "Nope, I'm eating away all of your fat so you can become skinny forever"? Because I'm trying to get to 137 pounds but I'm at a very unhealthy 103. I was about 110 at the beginning of last week and just yesterday my weight was 104. o.o)

"Yeah, don't do that again," She replied passively.

(What does your diet and exercise consist of?)

(Well, I don't exercise [mainly because I don't have a lot of equipment nor the determination to do so] and I barely eat anything. I only eat dinner after I get up very late [about 2 PM] and barely eat anything else until I want to eat something which would probably be like 8 hours later after dinner. And then repeat)

"Lesson learned..." He crushed the bottle and threw it away. "So, now what do we do?"

(Well that's the entire problem in a nutshell.  I get your issue with the equipment and such for sure.  Even though my house has some, I definitely don't use it much.  I'm very much a walk person and everything else is an optional thing.  Taking walks can REALLY get you in a good shape as long as you don't take breaks for more than 2 1/2 days at a time or the muscle will shrink.

As for the eating, that's simple. Get up earlier, get a BIG breakfest, do some physical stuff throughout the day for at least 30 mins total, and snack regularly until Dinner. Lunch is optional as long as you're consistently snacking. I've always had MASSIVE insomnia, but thankfully your body won't hate you if you force yourself through it. You'll be tired but you'll still get more healthy.)

"I'm more just here to get you some tips for you to start, but if there's something more you want to know that can be arranged," She added. "Or... something... else...?"

(That may explain my sleeping disorders as I do not eat very much and I just drank soda not 5 hours ago. I had like no protein today, only Medium fries and a medium soda. I had a few carrots though, and it's not alot. Like...fifteen? Also, because of my sleeping disorder I've been getting up later and later and it's kinda unhealthy for me.)

"You do what you want with me, I don't care what it is..." He paused for a moment, and then thought how wrongly it can go for him, but he shook it off. "Like, you can coach me during the time that I'm training or...something...else..."

(Get up earlier, and DO NOT eat later than 9:00 P.M.  It is incredibly bad for you because fat goes to your body hours after being in it, even if it's good for you, unless you exercise or move in some way.)

She smirked. "I'm not really in the mood torture anybody, particularly you right now... then again I AM prone to mood swings.  Anyway, more exercising, say... two more hours, and then we can all do some... social event."

"Well, first of all what is this 'Social Event'? Does it involve me...talking to people?" He asked.

(Sometimes I hardly eat at all after dinner. Right now, my dinner was Medium Fries from Hardee's and a Medium Soda. I've had NOTHING else and I don't even remotely feel hungry. Well, I mean, I am, but...)

"I dunno, it doesn't have to," she shrugged. "It probably will."

(Eat anyway.  There are a lot of dietary websites that can show you what's best to choose, like this one )

(Well, I'm not trying to go on a diet, I want to gain weight. I'm severely underweight. I'll check it out later)

"I hope not..." He muttered. "So uhh...what do I need to specifically train on for the next two hours on my own?" He asks.

(I know, but it's important to eat the right food anyway.  There IS a difference between good and bad fat.)

"I unlocked a bit of your connection to ki energy already, so you SHOULD be able to at least feel it when you focus enough, but in the meantime you can just run about, do some sit-ups, chin-ups, etc."

"Alright...I'll see if I can figure this out...maybe. I'm not good with vague instruction and then a 'good luck' notification." He shrugged. "But, I'll see if I can try."

"Cool.  Just keep looking forward to two hours later."

"R-right." He nodded nervously. He stood there for a while, thinking about what he should do first. (I'm going to transfer to my phone so my replies may be a bit slow.)

Device walked over, sitting in place to observe. (Alrighty.   I'm heading to bed in a minute anyway.)

Asobja looked down at Device but said nothing about it. He decided to try Push-ups, which didn't work for him as he only done one complete one. He tried situps, still nothing. (Same. 'Night)

"Keep pushing," Virus directed. "Your body will burn like mad, but after you collapse, it'll gradually go back.  Nothing's going to break to keep pushing."

That seemed to lift him a little bit; he always hated getting himself hurt even though he cuts himself occasionally as he was told it'll release stress. He tried doing some pushups again. As he was pushing himself this time, he managed to do 20 pushups before he realized if he did anymore, he'll burn out entirely. So he collapsed this time, panting heavily.

"Cmon...! It hasn't even been 2 hours yet!" He growled a bit to himself.

"If getting mad motivates you to keep pushing, then get mad," Virus said. "Otherwise, don't waste the energy."

"I'll see what I can do.." He gets back up and thinks again after regaining his breath.

The next hour consisted of him trying every workout routine possible, but failing in the middle of it which gets him even madder. His most well done achievement was doing 100 sit-ups, growling and muttering to himself on how much of a failure he is, and why he couldn't save his parents from their inevitable death. His words would classify the craziest man in an asylum as a baby.

"Do you normally have a temper?" Virus asked.

He stopped talking to himself and looked at Virus. His hair was a slight mess, but not too noticable. "I do...sometimes I can hardly control it."

"Hm... Well emotion is a huge part of Ki, so you could always channel your anger to power your ki."

"I could try that...but how would I know that I'm controlling my ki?"

"Oh that's not for now.  That comes WAY later.  You've still got to get in balance first."

"Alright....I could really go for a cheeseburger right now..." He says, sitting down so he could take a breather.

"You've still got an hour left."

"I know...maybe I'll get one later." He sighed and starts thinking of what to do now for the next hour.

"Alright, we can try a bit of Ki stuff if you'd like, but don't expect to get much out of it."

"I know, I know but it's worth to learn as much as I can."

"Alright well take some deep breaths.  Focus on the feeling in your body."

He nodded and did so. He had to close his eyes in order to feel the energy. "I can feel it. It's not a lot."

"People don't start out with much.  Organics barely have any regularly.  Even the ones that can use it have to resort to magic or other things to harness it right.  But if you keep at it, your body will adapt."

"I see." He opened his eyes again, starting to feel nothing but the air now. "So, I got another hour to go and then this...'event'?"

"Yep."

"Oh boy...whateer this event is, I really hope it won't affect me too much." He sighed and went back to doing some other excersizes for the next hour.

After an hour passes, he collapses onto the ground panting again. "Arrrgh....everything...on fire..."

"That's because the blood is moving rapidly throughout your body.  Concentrate on that.  Concentrate on projecting that feeling outward.  The fingers are a good place to start."

"Alright..." He gets up and holds out his hands and tries focusing on directing the feeling toward his fingers. Something was starting to happen but Asonja couldn't tell what was going on. "I'm...feeling something."

"Keep pushing, but make sure you're still breathing."

He forgot that he was holding his breath and started to breathe again. He started pushing the energy as hard as he can at this point. He still couldnt see what was going on.

"Alright keep trying.  Give it a few more seconds..."

He pushed more and more, his eyes clenching as he pushed out more energy. "I dunno how long I can hold this!"

"Okay you can stop now."

He exhaled sharply and the energy vanished. His arms dropped. "Argh..that was hard."

"Normally it takes decades to be able to do that."

"Just to get THAT far?" He looked at his hands, seeing nothing.

"Considering that most people barely have enough ki to do anything, yeah.  Of course, if you get strong enough, you may be able to tap into the Ki energy pool, just like all the others," She twirled a bit of red energy in her fingers.

"Hmm...you have my attention now." Asonja states. "After this event, I'll get right back to work."

"Oh right, has it been two hours already?"

"Yeah. I think it just ended." He nodded. "Now what is this...'event' that you want to show me?"

"Just a hangout," She shrugged. "If it makes it seem more special, Device will be joining us."

"...Very well," The Green-Tinted Identity replied.

"Alright then...I'm not very good with socializing but...I suppose we can do that." He shrugged as well.

"Good because you could use some food."

"Thank god, I need some cheeseburgers pronto."

"This is your world, right?  Where's the nearest spot?"

"It should be about...3 blocks away from here." He answered. "Wait...what kind of world do you live in? I'm curious to know..."

"It's more just a city at the moment," Device informed.

"A city of 'Identities'," Virus added. A flicker later, and the Green-Tinted identity had located the building. They were teleported to the front door.

Asonja blinked a few times to register that he teleported. "Oh...wow...we're here." ''Again, I just have some energy in me called Ki, not anything like this. I don't even have Chaos Powers! Seriously, who needs a hero with no powers...?'' He thought to himself.

"You're coming inside, right?" Virus asked while opening the door.

"O-oh...yeah...right." He said nervously and went inside. It was more of like a fancy restaurant except it was filled with large groups of people chatting, getting food, and everything. Virus noticed Asonja's sudden increased heartrate.

She looked over to him, then the public. "Hey everybody!  We totally stand out!  We're incredibly strange and worth your time to stare at... Aaaaand we're moving on," She looked for an open table.

Nobody even looked when she said that. Some people did but they didn't care. Asonja was carefully strolling along with them, occasionally moving around people like they had the Bubonic Plague and moved on.

"See?" She looked over to Asonja briefly. "Nobody cares... even if Device looks like an alien," She tapped the table like a drum while sitting down, looking for a menu.

Asonja's hands were gripping together, looking around. "I...I know that but...I've had this fear for quite a while. I once lost my parents in a huge crowd for over an hour."

"Well we could just kill everyone here but then we don't get burgers." (Forgot to mention, but Belle and the Owl Being are up for grabs if you want to own them as characters.  You don't have to of course, but I certainly don't need them.)

(Alright. I'll see what I can do with them later, maybe. I never really owned more than two characters in any rp before so I suppose this'll be a new challenge for me)

"Yeah, true. Maybe we can do that after we're done? This place has had a bad reputation years ago anyway..."

(Well again, this is entirely if you actually WANT to keep the characters.  If it's a bother you don't have to, but if you genuinely DO want the characters, I can give you the rundown on their biology.) "Ooh, what kind?" She grinned.

"Well, there were some cases of bar fights where the entire place went waywire and destroyed half the place. This dude who started it had like immense power and insanity and he was sent to the asylum. Basically there are rumors going around that the entire fight was intentional. I dunno why, but it was from what I was told." He replied.

(I mean, sure. It's not that much of a bother. I'm just afraid that if I do not know what abilities they have or what they do, I'd mess everything up entirely.)

(I'll write up how they work for you.  Hopefully it won't be confusing.)

"Interesting, and I'm guessing that led to late waiters?"

"I think so. Some kind of chemical that makes anyone go insane with power. I dunno what it's called but it is massive and it would make the weakest kind of people into the strongest...Maybe, I dunno. I think it's a drug." (Okay, thanks.)

<--       "... Wait so they actually DO affect the quality service?"

"Nobody knows, but that is my theory." He replied.

"... That's..." She looked around for a waiter.

Soon, a dark red fox waiter came over. "Hello, and welcome. I will be your waiter for today, and what can I get you three?" He first looked at Asonja, who hasn't looked at the menu yet but ordered regardless.

"Uhh...I'll take a...Plain CheeseBurger please? Medium Rare?" He asked. The waiter nodded and wrote it down on his notepad. "Anything to drink?" He asked to Asonja.

"Cheerwine, please." Asonja answered. The waiter nodded, and looked to Virus. "Alright, and what about you?"

"I'll have that too," She answered. "If you could swap the drink with something lemony though that'd be nice."

He nodded, and wrote that down. He looked to Device. "Anything for you today?"

Slowly the Green-eyed girl looked to Virus, who said and motioned nothing, so she looked back to the waiter. She looked to the menu, then back up. "... Fries..." She half-wheezed out in a partially-conscience voice of disinterest.

"Alright then." He nods anyway and writes it down on his list. "I'll be right back to get you your drinks." He walked of, his red tail flicking as his left.

"... Red," Virus noted. "So do you come here often?" She asked Asonja. 

(I really like those pictures. I'm curious how to draw so well.) "Sometimes, when I feel like I need to relax. It's been a while since I went here anyway." He says, looking down at his hands that were still tightly held together.

(Did you mean how I draw so well or how you can get to draw so well?  Either way, I sound pompous X{D) "Do you have a job to pay for it all?"

"Yeah...but my job isnt really important to talk about..." He says, looking away. It seemed to be a rather personal job. (I meant how do you draw so well, sorry XD. You dont really have to explain it all to me)

"Uh huh... Spill," She was far too intruiged to care about personal boundaries.

(Well after being bestowed upon by the Lord Almighty- just years honestly.  I'm actually one of the SLOWER artist improvers.  You wouldn't BELIEVE how fast other people I've own can get better than I have over time.)

(Yeah. I just gotten into making clothing but I'm still very bad at joint movements and perspective. I can make some hella good buildings in 2-point perspective though .3.)

"Alright fine...I'm basically a Bounty Hunter. Sort of." He replied.

(See, that's something I'm terrible at: environments, at least on the computer.  I'm okay on paper, but I can't for the life of me on digital.) She blinked a few times. "... Well you just got significantly more attractive, though that 'sort of' is hanging things in the air a bit."

(Yeah, me neither. I'm best on paper. Btw, I gtg. I'll be back here at about Noon my time. Night) He blushed at that, looking away as he hid his smile. "Well, it's been a while since I've gotten a job though. About a month or so."

(M'kay.  G'night.) "And before that?"

"I used to take down one of the fearless beings that had the most amount of bounty, ranging from $50,000 to almost one whole million." He says. "Maybe one day, I'll get to take down someone again."

(Still waiting on ya Trisell XD)

"And yet you've got low self-esteem?" (LONG day)

"Yeah...weird huh? Sometimes actually get low self-esteem can get you pretty far. It's a miracle I'm still alive."

"Why do you hate yourself again?"

He thought for a moment, silently. "I'm guilty for not preventing my parents' deaths"

"As a small child who wasn't prepared.  If you want someone to blame, blame the person that killed them."

"Then I'm blaming the fat man." He crossed his arms.

"The fa-... Oh you're kidding..."

"Nope. I saw him kill them with my own eyes."

"... Robotnik... Your parents were-" She lost it. Tiny turquoise sparks were shooting about as the identity laughed it out.

Asonja looked at her, slightly confused. "Uhh...are you laughing in joy or...?"

"I... I just-... Robotnik... Mr. Eggman himself... wow..."

"Do you need some...privacy or something?"

"No- no I'm fine," She took a breath. "...Is he still around?"

"Yeah, in Robotropolis like usual."

"Okay, new plan: we're totally visiting Robotropolis."

"Right." Soon, their food arrived. They were given exactly what they wanted. The red fox waiter said, "If any of you need a refill, let us know." He smiled and walked off. After thanking the waiter, Asonja bit into his burger.

"Just 'right'?" She asked.

"Yup." He nods and bites again. He took a drink from his Cheerwine. What Virus doesn't know is that Cheerwine is Asonja's Happy Drink. It really lights his spirits probably a bit too much.

"So you don't mind us going there?  I mean, not that I'm upset."

"I don't really mind. I just have some bad memories there."

"... Okay," She bit into her burger.

Soon, the meals were complete. The waiter came back. "Would any of you would like some dessert? We got a lot of desserts."

"Sure, whatcha got?" Virus asked. Device was holding firmly to her untouched fries.

"We have Chocolate Milkshakes, and some ice cream cake."

"Just chocolate shakes?"

"Well, we do have more than that, but the if you would like the menu go right ahead."

"I can go for anything with strawberry."

"Strawberry milkshake then?"

"Yes please."

"Alright then." He wrote it down and walked off again.

"Red," She commented again. "Further study, Device."

Device nodded.

Virus looked to Asonja. "You ready to go soon?"

"Yeah...though...can I just do something real quick?" He asked nervously.

"Depends on how much you surprise me."

He hugged her, around the neck.

The Red-Striped Feline blinked a few times, looking to his arms and to his face again.

He did look back at her for a moment, but looked away again, blushing. "I'm going to thank you ahead of time for everything you've done for me...and helped me get back on track."

She grinned, leaning forward at him a bit. "Don't thank me just yet," Then she poked his forehead with her tongue before leaning back again.

This made him blush even more, nodding and even kissed her on the forehead as payback. He let go, smiling a bit but still blushing. "Alright, I just wanted to get it out of the way first."

"I have located the Robotropolis area," Device informed.

"Oh! Great. After we're done we should get moving." Asonja said. The waiter returned with a Strawberry milkshake for Virus.

Virus immediately began sipping away.

"So," Her voice echoed, now coming out of Device instead, "Who was your biggest bounty?"

"Hmm...About $80,000. Forgot his name since it sounded really weird. He committed a lot of crimes in just days. He was the worst ever and he murders too. I managed to beat him by disarming him entirely and held him down. Apparently no one did that or even tried."

"Any war wounds?"

"A few here and there Not too many."

"How long did it take to catch him?"

"A week at most. He kept hiding and tried fighting back."

"So he was afraid of you?"

"I guess? I'll never know." He shrugged. Virus noticed he was looking at her directly in the eyes this time and not anywhere else.

"...mm?" She let go of the straw. "Are we looking at my differently-shaped irises or...?" She asked, her voice coming from herself again.

"Well, yeah. They're pretty. I have an interest in them now." He says.

"Oh?  When did that start?" (Gotta go for tonight)

(Same. Let me know when you'll be on btw XD) "Just now, actually. During the hug too."

(Now.) "Well that's a nice start."

"Do you want to leave for the city now?" Device asked.

"Yes. I'll pay the bill." He says. (I'm going to graduation. Be back in about...2 hours I think?)

(That is... hilarious actually.  My sister is graduating in a few hours. X{D  Also, congratulations.)  "That's good to know because we have no idea what the currency is here," Virus chuckled.

(Well, it's my bro's graduation, not mine yet XD I actually have a few more minutes before I go, I just had to get dressed and socialize.) "Yeah, and plus I have the money anyway..." He put his cash on the table and a little tip on the side. "Alright guys, lets go. To Robotropolis.

(Ah well congrats to your brother X{D) They stepped out of the restaurant and soon after, Device teleported the three of them in front of the city.

"Now...what're we going to do here before we're caught here?" He asked Virus. (Okay, I gtg now. Keep an eye on this page for my next edit)

"Could take a picture?" Virus shrugged. (I'll be back eventually as well.)

(I'm back. What a day...) "Maybe...but we're here for revenge, well for me anyway." He says.

(You're telling me.) "Well yeah... and some group pictures... no we're not calling them selfies, those stupid degenerate millenia-" She stopped herself before she blew up. "Anyway," She took a step forward.

He followed closely behind. He saw some robots nearby but didn't go near them.

Device began quickly walking toward the robots.

He watched Device go, but didn't stop them.

She continued approaching the robots, waving a bit to get their attention.

Asonja shook his head, declining to go with her; He was very scared.

(Robot reactions?)

The robots noticed Device, seeming to go up to her. They didn't know what to think of her since she looked like a robot to them.

"Hm..." She reached at one of their faces. (Goin' to sleep. Z_Z)

(Mkay.) They moved back and sounded the alarms. More robots started coming out and surrounding them.

(Them being Device or the whole group?)

(Whole group. I dunno why I'm not being specific enough, I'm sorry XD)

(HOW DARE YOU! *sticks up nose*) "Well that's one way to handle it," Virus chuckled. "The alarm's a bit much."

(EW! *Rips out of nose, and rubs alcohol all over self and you*) "Well...lets shut it off then. After you." He pointed to the robot who was sounding the alarm.

Device pointed a finger at the robot, sticking it through the robot's head.

The alarm immediately shut off. "Well, that was easy." Asonja stated.

"Onward," The Green-Tinted Identity continued forward. Virus shrugged, following.

Asonja followed nervously. He looked around at a few broken robots and kicked them lightly, hoping they weren't going to spring out and stab him in the face.

"Is this place usually so... uneventful?" Virus asked.

"Not really. I've never been here so I do not know for sure."

"... Alrigh, let's speed this up," A strip of red zipped through the ground, pulling the three of them forward further into the city.

Asonja stayed silent, both worried and terrified at the current event. He never appears to be calm in this point in time.

(I can't really give much of a narrative direction without knowing the set-up of your world's robotropolis)

(I dunno what it looks like either. I guess it looks like the SatAM series?)

(Alrighty.  Would they be nearing the main building at this point?)

(Yeah.)

Once they arrived at the main building, Virus knocked on the door.

No answer. Asonja sighed. "WElp, guess we're going back."

"I thought you were here for revenge."

"I changed my mind, I'm terrified."

"Of course," She sighed before slamming a fist at the door to knock it down.

He jumped from that, even screaming a bit. The door fell down, making another loud bang.

"... This is... far easier than I expected," Virus walked forward. "Is there a trap or something?"

"That is why I'm leaving because it's WAY too easy." (You can control what happens if you want, I'm not good with dramatic plot twists or anything like that x3)

(Well I don't normally control what happens in other people's worlds if I don't really know how their Eggman would act.)

(I actually don't know XD)

(... Well flaggin... Wat do?)

(I don't know actaully. I'm doing like 5 things all at once here right now and I'm trying to think. I guess the Eggman will act like usual? I guess? I'm just not feeling up to par right now.)

(That's fine.  We could just not have them continue in Robotropolis if you want.)

(Sure, or we could find another way to get Asonja to unleash his Ki or something like that)

(Alrighty.)

(*1 minute of thinking later* Nothin.)

"So you really don't want to be here anymore?"

"Not really...I'm still getting bad vibes."

"Could be your last chance."

"...Fine..." He rolled his eyes.

"... Actually never mind," She began walking away.

"...I just said I wou-*sigh* Alright then, I give up..." He followed her.

"The point is sticking to what you're saying, so if you're going to flip flop so much I don't really see the point."

"True...lets go home. I just cannot do this."

"Yet... Wait home?  Your home?"

"I live in an apartment near Station Square." He states.

"... Device,"

"I'm locating," She replied.

Asonja sat down on the ground, sighing. "I knew I wasn't powerful enough to face my fears..." He muttered.

"You know that physical strength has nothing to do with it, right?" Virus asked.

"To me it does. I feel weak, and I know it since I'm obviously afraid of facing my fears head on..." He grumbled.

"The only person completely in control of their emotions is Device," Virus tapped the green-tinted identity on the forehead. "... Fact is, I'm terrified, and depressed, and enraged... mostly enraged--but I guess it's a unique trait to enjoy feeling all the horrible and wonderful together... maybe, maybe that's something you can work on."

"Yeah...controling my emotions is super hard for me to do as well as build up strength and confidence. So far, only strength had been achieved..." All he seems to do is complain. Time to up the ante a bit, probably force him to fight his fears or build the confidence himself and fight his fears. Either way, they both seem like horrible ideas to him.

"Well we're working on that so don't worry."

"I suppose...what shall we do now? I'm practically in your command at this point..."

A pink spark shot up. Virus jerked a bit, stuttering out "S-stop- do- don't say that," She cleared her throat.

"Well I mean its...kinda true." He says

"Mm," She held up a hand, mouth closed. "Mm-mm," She shook her head a bit. "Unless you actually want me to do something horrible, best not give me any more tempting words here." (Gotta go to sleep now.  G'night.)

(Same) He just shrugged. "Doesn't really matter to me.  You're the antagonist which doesn't usually help someone like me.  You're supposed to be killing me or something on the lines of that."

"... Yeah, but the thing is, I'm not your everyday villain," She peered slightly. "I'm not interested in proving to anyone 'Look how evil I am'.  I do what I want, and if I feel like being nice, I act nice.  If I feel like slowly corrupting the soul of a gullible sap, I get icecream."

"Well, I suppose that makes more sense..." Asonja sighed. "How about we just try something else until I feel confident that we can go back and try again."

"Like what?  Training?"

"Maybe. Or anything you want me to do that seems relevant."

"Hm... Where's Zikuto?"

"He's probably at some bar right now or whatever. I hardly give a shit about him."

"First, ew, second, which bar?"

"Dunno. He never tells me. He's been a jerk to me all the time, saying that I'm to weak to be his assistant."

"Well right now I feel like having you two rip each other to shreds."

"Why?! I can't even hurt him! He hurts me more than anyone."

"Because you kept taunting me."

"I'm not taunting you at all..." He sighed. "I'm just saying, you have the freedom to tell me what to do. That's it."

"And I said not to, but you kept doing it, so unless there's something you can suggest that sounds more entertaining..."

"Maybe there is..." He thought for a moment. "But that was a fact I was point out anyway. Maybe you could give me very hard and rigorous training schedule?"

"Didn't we already do that?"

"No, it was just situps and pushups. No using weights or anything. I want to get physically strong quickly."

"... Well that's not nearly entertaining enough but I suppose I can go with whatever else later."

"Yeah. Make it fun if need be if you want." He says.

"... Alright," She snapped her fingers and a metallic sand began to grow on Asonja's shoulders.

He looked at his shoulders, noticing how heavy they're getting. "Ah, this seems interesting."

As the weight continued to grow, Device stepped in front of him, a glowing blade slowly coming out from her sleeve.

"Hm...you've caught my interest..." He says, trying to maintain his posture he gets heavier.

"First round," Virus made a dinging noise as the blade made a slow jab at Asonja.

He managed to move to the side, avoiding the dagger. He stumbled, sloppily regaining his posture. He didn't start to fight back.

The blade sliced at him horizontally, faster this time as the weight increased a bit.

He managed to dodge that one by moving back, but almost tripped completely. This made him stumble back more.

Device developed a whip, which she flang at his feet.

He tried jumping over it but he failed, the whip hitting his ankles. He fell on his back, trying to get up.

The whip vanished, heating up the floor. "Alright... push-ups I guess now," Virus directed, sounding a bit bored.

"Seriously? What happened to you?" He rolled over to his stomach, attempting to pull himself up.

The weight increased... then vanished. "What?" She asked.

"You got bored really quickly, like you weren't impressed how that went."

"You're not impressing me," She shrugged. "Do you have a way to?"

He was about to say something but then resided against it: There was no way he could impress Virus at all. Or that he completely forgot about his Bounty Hunter career.

"Then back to working out."

He sighed. "You got me then. I'll take the weights and lets get back to this..."

It was halfway through the exercise that Virus decided to ask. "Did you actually want to impress me?"

"Somewhat....yeah..." He panted, trying to keep going as much as he could.

"... Why?"
