Em's Armory Rising: Revengeance
*An armory sits on the west side of "Nexus City". The sign above the door says, "Em's Armory! Repairs, Upgrades, and Creation!"
Sounds of welding and metal clanging can be heard from the back rooms of the armory*
An armory? Reminds me of Inaba a bit.
Thank god im tired of punching things in the face for my melee attack
*Em stops ironing for a moment, noticing the people now entering his shop*
Oh, welcome! Yu, it's good to see you again!
And... have we met? I don't believe we have.
*welding wtf is wrong with me
*He arrives looking pretty darn down about something.*

Hey, you make and sell weapons and stuff here right? Got any type of fist weapons, like a cestus or brass knuckles?
*Walks in and looks around* Heh pretty sweet Em, so what all you got around here?
No but I want something basic. I've never actually held a weapon before
@Delta-M Oh, Delta. Course we do. Hmm... depends on what you want though. I've got a good amount of basic things you could easily use, although it you want anything specific you're gonna have to tell me.

@Tatsuya That depends Tatsu, what're you up for? We've got plenty of swords, daggers, axes, lances, some guns, a few chainsaws... among other things, of course.

@HibkiKuze Hmm.. basic huh?
Well, if you're used to punching, I could always recommend you something similar to what Delta's looking for. It's pretty much just something to make your punches hurt the enemies more, and your hands less. Nothing overly complex, unless you want it to be.
Basic huh? Well what kinda fighting do you prefer? I've used a good few over the years but I always come back to guns and swords myself. Still I can probably help ya out.
*He grins* Actually I was thinking of something like nifty scythe of yours. Needs to be a rapid fire gun and a sword though, maybe something with grenades if you can fit it in?
That would definitely work. Shadows seen stronger than the demons I'm used to and it takes more than a regular punch to do anything.
... you could hurt demons bare handed? Does that phone have a harmonizer function by chance?
Yeah it does
Ahh that explains it then, those babys work fine on demons but they aren't set up for shadows I don't think... I might be able to get that looked at if you want?
Let's see, I have a some basic brass knuckles here, some with spikes, some without. I do indeed have a Cestus or two, although they're both lefties... I could check the back if you want me to, or make you something to your liking, if you want.
I can probably ask Tico if she's still around
Oh sweet I'll take one of the lefty cestus than. Thought that would be a lot harder to find
Haven't seen anyone by that name. Guy I know's named Naoya kind of a jerk frankly but he knows his stuff.
*A female voice emits from Hibki's phone* aww are you talking about me sweetie

*Hbiki* This is Tico she came with the app

*Opens his phone reveling a picture of a girl with long purple hair dressed in a bunny suit*
*Looks at it* Huh so this one came with actual help using it? I'll be damned that's pretty sweet.
I happen to have a friend who uses these. I practiced making a few while I was with them. Lucky you, this thing's brand new, outside of some testing.
*Hands them a lefty Cestus with a black leather glove and red plating*
I can repaint that for you, if you'd like. That's 3000Â¥ with paint, 2500Â¥ without.
*walks in*
Oh hey, a armor shop! I needed a few repairs and mods to my stuff

*Sees Tico on Hibki's phone*
Woah, kid, don't watch porn in public like that, that's nasty
Em come on you didn't answer my question. Can you build something like that? Money isn't an issue if you're worried about that. Oh hey Joker, and no that's just an AI for the demon summoning program. Not quite sure why it was built that way though.
Tico meet Tatsuya we've met a few times at this point

*Tico* Hi nice to meet you Tat-Tat! Anyway I can modify the harmonizer for shadows based on the data and just for you reacticate Death VideosYay!

*Hibki* alright thanks Tico talk to you later

*Closes phone*
*Hands over 2500 yen* thanks this will help alot
@Emerson Hey Em!
@Tatsuya Demon summoning app? The hell is that?
No problem! Come back any time.


Joker, how's it going! So, repairs and mods, gotcha. Whatever you need, hand it over and I'll be right on it.
@Jokerboi it's how I set skills for myself separate from my persona and can get contracts with demons when available
Hmmm. What do you think you could add to a gauntlet and a pair of boots? I don't know own how crazy you can get with these augmentations.
It's an app that summons demons Joker, what else would it be?
Hmm... aside from some primitive type things, like claws or spikes or extra armor, I could add in some small shooters or something. Depends on the design of the gauntlet, really.

As for the boots, that depends on what you want them for. Offense could lead to some steel toeing or maybe even some elemental charge, but I could also make them into Pegasus Boots or something of the sort, letting you speed around the battlefield. Although you'd lack good armor on them, since Pegasus Boots need to be very light.
@Emerson Here. Give me the most powerful shit you got. Make it so that it can hurt a sin *hands over his gun and knife*
What a strange place!
I wonder why Tico needed to give me the Death Video service again though? Better go look around. *equips Cestus and leaves*
*Pancake knight walks in
Oh hello Akihiko! What's up!
I was just taking a look at this store! I have never seen so many weapons in one place before!
U-um... well, I'm fairly certain anything can technically hurt a sin unless they're directly immune to it. Plus, all sins are different. There isn't a "kill all" for every sin. That we know of anyways.
Anyways, with the gun you'd either need a different gun, or different rounds. I can do the mods to allow for such a thing, but you're gonna need to tell me what you want.
As for the knife, the best I can do is sharpening the blade or giving it an elemental charge. Sorry.

Oh, Gaki! How's it going? And Crow too, how're you?
*Black smog appears to snake from nowhere. As it forms a gassy cloud, it become replaced with a humanoid six foot tall figure clad in pitch-black armor, complete with a massive sword*

What are you pathetic mortals doing?
Hello! You are Emerson, right! From the gym!
I am not a mortal for I am actually dead as you might be able to tell by my ethereal form!
Then...You are a wayward soul, are you not?
I am not sure!
Hmm...I am in need of undead followers in this new realm I've found myself in. I would be willing to grant you any one wish for your loyalty.
@The_Dark_Messiah Oh, uh, hello stranger. Is there... something you need?

@Ghost_Akihiko Yeah, it's me! Glad to see you remember me. Anyways, is there anything you want? I've got some good fist-fighting weapons, among other things.
@Emerson That's fine. Now that I think about it, the sin I wanna kill is immune to magic, so unless you have bullets for something like that, I'll just take the usual repairs and mods
@The_Dark_Messiah
That depends on what you fight for!
I fight for Protein, Pancakes, and Justice!

@Emerson
Do you have anything a ghost could ware!
@Jokerboi Alright, I can get on sharpening the Knife and readjusting the gun, just general maintenance. If they're immune to magic, then I suppose elemental charges wouldn't work. I can still apply it to the knife for outside the fight with that sin, if you'd like.

@Ghost_Akihiko Hmm... I guess I could ask Klib for some of that green stuff he uses for you...
Is there anything in particular you'd like? I've got armor, boxing gloves, gauntlets...
I am Satan. I fight for myself and the wishes of others.
What do YOU wish for, my friend?
@Emerson Nah, it's cool. Just make it quick, please. I have somewhere to be
@The_Dark_Messiah Nothing in particular. If you're not buying anything, I'd suggest you leave. I've got business to attend to, and I don't need to be worrying about loiterers.

@Jokerboi Sure, that'll be 500Â¥ in total.
*Runs to the back and calls out*
Hey Anna, I need some help out here! Just a knife, it's not too much!
*Begins working on readjusting the gun, leaving the knife next to a whetstone*
*walks in carrying a beat-up and somewhat rusted metal rod*
Glad I was finally able to find somewhere. Do you have any solid metal staves for sale? Not the magic kind, just to hit things with.
*A large sigh is heard from the back room, and Anna walks out into the work room*
I thought today was my day off! You'd better be paying me for this!
*Begins sharpening the knife*
*Talks to Gamma while working on the gun*
Oh, N! Sure, I've got some maces, if that's what you're looking for. I've got some lances too, if that's more up your alley.
You can check out what I have on the floor out there, or I can see what's in the back.
I'll look at the floor first. But a mace or lance won't work. I'm talking like, a martial arts staff. Also the name's not N, its Gamma. Why do people keep coming up with nicknames for me? I already gave them one.
Huh? The hell're you talking about? You're En-
... Oooooh. Well, hey Gamma. It's been... a while. Er, have we ever met like this before?

Uh, anyways, I might have some in the back. They're not something I have much experience with, honestly. Anything in the back would probably be pretty boring, honestly. Just something super stock.
@The_Dark_Messiah
I wish for protein!
I didn't know you owned a weapons shop, but yeah, we met. Had some theorizing about us being here.

I'm not looking for anything fancy, basically just a solid stick, preferably metal so it doesn't break. I don't like to rely on tricks to get through things.
Well, I'm about done here. I'll go check the stock in a moment.
*Begins finishing up the adjustment of the gun*
*pays money*
Whenever you're ready is fine I guess. Not like I've got anywhere to be.
*Takes the gun and knife over to the counter*
Alright, thanks Joker. Here's your order.
*Hands him the weapons*
Take care of them, ya' hear?
*Heads back into the storage room, and comes back with 2 staves*
Ok, so I've got this one, which is pretty standard. Just a steel rod with a grip in the center and some ends. I've also got a Shaolin Spade, which has a crescent blade on the butt end, and a spade on the opposing end.
I'll take the standard one. As said, I'm not looking for anything much, basically just a metal rod to hit things with. Now then, how much'll it be?
2000Â¥. Although, I can add some mods to it, if you'd like. With the was this thing is made, I could probably add a different charge to each end.
*sighs*
For the last time, I'm not looking for anything special, I'm not going to rely on tricks. I'm going to use it to hit things. Hard. Nothing more, nothing less.
*suddenly appears* hey. You got any boots?
Sorry, sorry. I just kinda like to ask. Besides, it's not really- ah, n-nevermind.
Anyways, 2000Â¥. Straight, flat, no extra charges.

Oh, hey Star. Boots... depends on what you want them for. Offense, Defense, Speed... etcetera.
Well...how about a swift kick to the nuts? And make it as painful as possible.
Whatever, just take the money
*digs around in his pockets for a moment, before handing over 2000 yen and taking the staff*
I'll catch you later I guess.
E-er, if you're referring to what you can do with them, I can add rockets to the back, which should allow you to propel your kick forward along the joint of your leg. Then add some steel toeing to the front, and you've got a real deal for pain right there.
*Turns to Gamma*
Alright, catch you around.
No no no...make it as painful as possible. I don't care how you do it, or how much it costs, just make something that will end the life of someone when they get kicked in the nuts...please...*is pleading at this point* I just need them...please...
U-uh, let's see, I can add an Ice elemental charge to it, and spikes to the end of the foot. I'm pretty sure no mortal man is living through that, with a frozen crotch and all.
...yes...do it...make them please for the love of everything that is holy! How much!? Don't care!
(I love it when I get distracted by like everything that can distract me.)

Think you could modify some gauntlets to fire something like an arrow or a crossbow bolt, and the boots to do something similar? All I need is the firing mechanism to function by hitting pressure sensitive trigger or something.... I can use magic to place ammo in there myself. If the mechanism can resist the elements I'd fire that'd be nice too...
U-um, that'll be 2000 for the charge, 500 for the steel toeing, 500 for the spikes, and 5000 for the rockets. If you're not supplying the boots, it'll come to... 9000Â¥. 8000Â¥ with the boots supplied.
This'll be an overnight job, although it you want, I can have it done by the end of the day.
*plops a huge bag of yen on the counter* will this cover it?
You sure you want arrows or bolts? Not bullets? I can certainly do that, although it might get a little awkward with the boots. Although, I do have an idea, if you can load them magically...
Y-yes. Certainly, Star. I'll be right on it once we close shop in a little while.
Thank you...you have no idea how much this means to me...*walks away...*
... What's this idea of yours?
Oh, it's just to put the mechanism to shoot in the back of the boot, so your foot doesn't get in the way of firing. Since you can load them magically, there's no need for an external loading system like a normal crossbow.
The gauntlets would be similar, although the barrel could be on any side of them in that case. The top would probably be the best.
I see... I'm no weaponsmith, and certainly no expert on ranged weaponry as I think you can tell. I'll trust your judgement on this. Just tell me how it should all work and I'll get a feel for them in a few days.
Alright. I... have an express order to make, so it'll probably be a while before they're complete. Maybe by midday tomorrow, depending on the state of the Nexus. That'll be 3500Â¥.
Sure thing but... I think I've got something you'd like better.

*Delta places a large jar on the counter.*

There's about five pounds worth of... lightning dust I believe it's called. I think you'd appreciate this a bit more than money, don't you?
Oh, I do believe I would, but how they hell did you even find this stuff? I've been looking everywhere for a good deposit...
I have my ways. There's always something we seem to want, without a way to get it. I just had a lucky break is all, but this isn't worth much to me.... So we've got a deal I assume?
Sure.
*Hands over 12150Â¥*
It's a bit much, but I do enjoy Lightning Dust. Plus, it can go into making other types.
I'll start work soon. Later.
How bout a WAR TURTLE?

Basically, it's a turtle.

BUT, it has a minigun strapped onto it. (And by strapped on I mean 25 layers of duct tape).

It also has war paint on its face.

Also, it's stomach is nuke, should such a situation need such a drastic measure.
Uh.
C-can do. I can make an attachment to the shell to allow for a minigun to sit atop it. War paint is pretty easy. But... a nuke? That's a bit... extreme, don't you think? It's not very ethical...
Also, how exactly do you think I'd get a nuke anyways? It's not exactly something I have lying around...
Fucking, I dunno. Spread a rumor that the Turtle's stomach is a nuke.

That sort of thing tends to work.
That'd work.
So, that comes to... 11500Â¥. Mostly the cost of the minigun.
I can pay that.

*And she proceeds to hand over the amount due.*

I'm going to name it Tucker.
*walks in covered in a comically big coat*

I heard this place got some Lightning Dust. More importantly, I heard you know what Lightning Dust is.

*places several Dust Crystals on the counter, of various elements*

There's more than that in it for you, if you can make these.

*pulls out several schematics for various weapons, the most prominent being what is labeled as 'Semi-Automatic Pistol Sickles', with details explaining how it can also have the hilts and blades connect to form a bow shape, with additional details showing a string, labeled 'Must be a very strong string', coming from the tips of the sickles to form a bow string, with even MORE writing explaining how to make the blades safely disconnect to serve as makeshift kursuigamas, with writing saying 'Use strong string again? Will need to be able to survive being flailed around'*

I understand if this is too difficult for you, and you are free to keep the Dust regardless of whether or not you accept the job, but the pay upon completion will be well worth it.

*goes to stand in a corner, awaiting answer*
*Examines the Dust crystals*
Hmm, they look real... Where the hell do you even get this stuff here? Eh, it doesn't matter, I'll find out soon enough.

Hmm... honestly, having the schematics makes this a hell of a lot easier. Do you want them all done? It'll be a few days due to the first come first served nature of my custom orders, plus the mass amount of work I have right now, but aside from that it's a can do job.
The terms are acceptable, I can wait. And the only thing I need are the Pistol Sickles. Anything else is if other wish for such weapons.
Alright, the deal is done. With just the Sickles, it'll be a lot quicker, probably by the morning after next. If you don't want to keep the other schematics, I'll gladly take them off your hands.
*Packages up the Dust crystals*
Well, thank you for the business. If you'll excuse me, I have a lot of work to do, and I'm a bit past closing now.
Hello hello, I desperately need a weapon that isn't a pocket knife
*The doors fly open on a new day. Sitting behind the counter are 3 cases, each differently labeled.
In the work room, sparks fly as the finishing touches are being put onto a 4th order.*
*The door swings open as a returning customer steps in... It's Delta.*

So, which of these orders is mine Em?
*suddenly appears* hey. Is it done?
Oh, nice. That's two of three.
*Hands Star a large steel case with wheels and an orange label*
Here's yours. All wrapped up and ready to roll.

*Brings out 2 more cases strapped together*
And for Delta, your order is complete.
Wow... these should do some damage for sure! You don't mind if I try them on here, do you?
Sure, just take 'em out back. We have a training yard back there.
Okay. *Suddenly disappears and reappears in the training yard moments later wearing the boots* huh...nice fit...
Time to test these out then...

*He grabs his new gear and equips it, before going outside.*

Let's see... Ice should be the easiest to load. Diamond Dust!

*Satan appears behind him after the ripping off of a dark blue mask and envelops Delta in an icy cold wind before disappearing. Once it fades, Delta points a fist at the sky and shoots a bolt of sharpened ice to the sky. Ramses appears and shatters it with a Ziodyne.*

I think I'm going to like this a lot...
Well, glad to see you've enjoyed it so far Delta.
I hope the armoring is to your liking. I didn't want to go too overboard, but I think it's enough to block some decent strength attacks.
So, remind me again what these can do...besides make nut-kicking hurt a lot more.
Thanks a lot Em. I've been a bit jealous of Tatsuya's gun to be honest. But now I've got a slew of ranged attacks to work with, a some nice armor too. I hope that dust treats you well. I'll be taking my leave now. Catch you later.

*Ramses appears behind Delta and points his staff at him. Delta is engulfed in a spiral of fire that obscures him from view. When it clears, he's nowhere to be seen.*
Anything you kick should take Ice damage, possibly freeze, unless it's resistant to it. The rockets also allow you to boost, allowing for quick sword slices forward, or quick dodges backwards.
Huh...neat. *runs up and kicks a target, freezing it* wow...these were well worth it. Thanks again for the fine work. And sorry for being a bit...out of it when I made the order. Some things happened and someone really deserves the pain.
Alright. No coming to me if you get in trouble with those things. It's your issue.
Yeah. I'll just be... actually, do you have anything that resists fire? It's been coming up more often lately.
You mean armor that resists fire? Aside from putting a fire element directly into the armor, no. I guess I could give it some research...
Get back to me on that.
Okay. I'll just be leaving then. Bye! *Suddenly disappears*
Hey, so can I get a weapon?
