[color=royal blue]Ryu looks at Zypher, somewhat surprised, though you can't see it on his face. He doesn't wish to reveal himself? Interesting turn. Ryu's claw is still atop Colossus. Colossus cannot reach his blade, and is struggling to move, as Ryu's weight has become quite massive. He begins hitting Ryu's claw, attempting to force it off him.
Ryu: *opening his mouth; flames flicker* I warned him, but he didn't believe me.
Colossus: Remove youself from me!
Ryu: Oh? I will, but only after I can claim that blade of yours!
Ryu's eyes blaze as he gathers energy from the surrounding area and flames begin to flicker madly from his gaping jaw. He then takes a deep breath as Colossus' eyes go wide. Colossus attempts to defend himself, but a deafening roar tells what his fate is. When Ryu moves his claw, Colossus is nothing more than a burning pile of ash.
Ryu: I think our job is done.
Zacxko: I think that's one of the largest blades I've ever seen...besides the one Vann was carrying.
Vann: I'd say.
When the look at Ryu, however, he is engulfed in another swirl of energies and dust. He emerges a human, once more. He's holding his right hand, the same one that was a crushing claw over Colossus. It looks slightly burnt.
Ryu: I think I hit myself a bit, there. *picking up Colossus* This sword... Ah!
Vann: What?!
Ryu releases the sword, but it doesn't fall. His very skin seems to latching onto it. Oh no! I'm trying to absorb this one, too! He holds his left arm, trying to force his skin away from the sword. But it's to no availe. His skin and the sword begin to merge quicker and quicker. Soon the sword is gone, and Ryu is looking at his right palm.
Ryu: Well... That was interesting. *flinging his hand down the sword forms* But it just doesn't feel right...
Vann: What happened?!
Ryu: Oh! It's a gift...and a curse of my class. The sword is as much a part of me as my heart of brain.
Zacxko: That's...odd...
Ryu: Hmm? This sword is just too unbalanced... *looking at it* I know! I'll advance it just a bit!
Zypher: *walking forward as the purplish area disipates* What do you mean?
Ryu: *as Colossus reforms itself* Hmm? I think I'll shorten the blade then... Yes!
Colossus seems to lose a foot or two off of it, and the hilt reshapes to better fit Ryu. It looks like it has better balance now, and Ryu seems to enjoy swinging it around a bit.
Zypher: Your abilities... They seem odd.
Ryu: Yes. Being a Holy Avenger will do that. Now then, I'm sure Excalibur will have something to say now.
Vann: Can...can you "regurgitate it?
Ryu: I haven't tried before. I'm sure I could if I wanted to.[/color]
