OC x Pyra/Mythra

27

Kai POV

We met up with the rest of the party, and for Nia's sake, I'm glad she did not mention how she had found us. Literally, nobody needs to know, because nothing happened and I don't need Rex swinging a sword in my face again.

Kai: What are we doing out here so early Vandham? What kinda job you got us roped into?

Vandham: That doesn't matter. Just know we're headed that way.

Kai: That was strangely cryptic

We started heading in that direction, an occasional enemy popped up, but it was easily wiped out by the rest of them. After a while, Vandham started looking at me strangely.

Kai: Got somethin' to say big guy?

Vandham: I'm just trying to figure out why you just sit there and do nothing while we work our tails off trying to get rid of these things.

Kai: Nobody's in immediate danger. I'm not really from around here and I happen to have amnesia, but I have the feeling that I'm supposed to protect Rex, Pyra, and their companions if they should need it. Meaning I am a last resort. If you guys have it handled, I sit back and analyze, growing stronger for when I am truly needed. I have interfered a few times already, and boy was it fun.

Vandham: Interesting, must mean you're pretty tough.

Kai: I'd like to think so.

Rex: Kai is tough, he took down Mórag and Brighid

Vandham: The Flamebringer? With her Blade?

Kai: Yes. As a matter of fact, I did.

Vandham: We might have to have a spar! I need to see this for myself.

Pyra suddenly spoke up from her position against me

Pyra: If it means anything, Kai beat me in single combat.

Everyone was flabbergasted.

Rex: When did that happen?

Kai: I have a skill that allows me to create subspaces, so I created an arena for Pyra and I to spar in while you were helping Tora buy parts for Poppi.

Gramps: I can confirm. I watched their match, it was certainly impressive

Tora: Wow... Kai so strong...

Tora and Poppi looked like they were going to turn into Chibis any second now.

Vandham: *laughing heartily* We definitely need to have a spar now!

Kai: I wouldn't object, but let's finish this job first

Nia: Please, it's too cold here.

Vandham: Alright, let's push on.

We kept going, but eventually our path was blocked by a funny smoky thingy. I don't know what it was, but it didn't seem like we were getting past it.

Vandham: An ether miasma. Take it this is your first one.

Rex: Ether miasma?

Vandham: It's a load of poisonous waste products spewed from the Titan's guts. Y'know when you get gassy? Kinda like that.

Nia: Erm, is there a way through this thing? I can't see any way round it.

Vandham: Hey. No fear. Roc, mate! You're up!

Vandham's Blade, Roc, flew into the air, and flapped his wings several times. Sending visible wind blades that cut through the miasma and forced it to die down.
