Merl is surprised at the speed of Stefan’s reactions.
“Those garments he wears may be doing more than meets the eye. Keep a shard mind, merl.” He thought

As the glow begins again, merl parries the sword instead of going for a swing, and, dropping his staff, continues to dash forward, tackling Stefan.

Quote

If the rock is still in the air, I’ll let him trip instead of tackle and Merl can catch the rock, and bounce it back towards defenseless Stefan (he’ll be fine, he’s armored)

Okay, that works, thanks. We’ll say he just tripped.

Merl straightens up, raising an arm, and completely stopping the incoming boulder as if it were a ball. 
As he looks around at the stunned faces of the nearby camp, he smiles ruefully. “Better end this soon. Dax doesn’t have much longer.”

With a CRACK like thunder he brings the Boulder back down, shattering it into pieces.

Stefan grunted as the boulder crashed into him, his vibranium plates absorbing most of the impact, thankfully. He groaned as he turned over, an he laid on the ground, staring up into the sky, mostly just in complete shock.

“Wow,” Lord Stephen said, nearby, “That certainly was something.”

“I’m gonna have to yield soon. Dax doesn’t want much more of this. So, show me your best, and I’ll show you mine.”

Merl gives Stefan his hand to help him up.

He smiles towards Lord Stephen. “The power of the ancient riders is quite majestic isn’t it?”

Stefan grabs his hand and pulls himself up. He gives him a second to get back into fighting stance before he lunges into a flurry of attacks, tossing his shimmering rainbow sword to the ground.

The AI in his mind kicked in, identifying trigger points and tracing his opponent’s movements to more effectively land critical blows.

Elsewhere in the camp, a fly on the flap of a tent cleared it’s throat after some successful eavesdropping and dropped to the ground, transforming into a little eight-year-old kid with curly red hair.

“I’m good at covert,” he offered, his eyes twitching.

FYI at this stage I’m just throwing or most of the Knights out for display and to be sorted on quests as they see fit. I’ll put characters away to more manageable numbers one it’s all sorted and figured out. There’s only one more I have anyway, making 10 total.

Merl stomps his feet into the stone underneath him, holding his ground and taking a few of the hits. As another attack comes in he attempts to grab hold of Stefan.

Stefan’s AI-enhanced mind noticed this and immediately he halts the attack and leaps back a few feet, instead kicking the rainbow sword far past the man. He bounced, light and ready to dodge.

Merl crouches down, straining his legs and looks straight at Stefan. Suddenly, he blasts forward, the ground behind him cracks and his light dances on the trees as he is propelled at an incredible speed toward the armored man.

Stefan’s chip hadn’t anticipated such speed, and he stayed in place. However, he mentally called his sword back to him, and the sword flew off the ground and through the air, hilt first, in a straight line towards him, with the rider in its path.

Merl slams into him, paying no heed to his surroundings, they are both carried past blurred trees and hills. A hill rises slowly on the horizon in front of them, and the rainbow sword catches up slowly from behind.

“Hold up,” Stefan shouted over the winds, feeling a pang of fear as they flew. “What the heck was that?”

His mind was racing, attempting to analyze his every surroundings, but they were traveling too fast for it to be reliable.

The cat, Redstripe, turned to the girl and tilted his head, staring at the light. But he didn't come any closer.

"He's ours," Stephen said, "He's grown up with a seething hatred of humans, it's taken him a long time to warm up to us. Don't take it personally—and don't try to pet him."

“Hey, Redsripe.” EmLee formed the Starlight she was holding into a squeaky mouse toy and tossed it to the cat. “I have a cat back home. She’s black and white and her name is Daisy.”

My cousin actually did have a cat of that description but Daisy died earlier in the year. I guess this is my memorial to her :/

“It’s okay, sorry, I’m with the Knights,” he said, “Couldn’t help but practice my covert skills when I saw you come over here.”

Redstripe looked at the toy in disgust and sighed. He was a wild cat through and through, he didn’t play with toys! But seeing the light in the Twoleg’s eyes caused him to hesitate. He grudgingly gave it a sniff, since she was being so kind. Oh, if Moonstar could see me now... he thought, and was very glad she wasn’t here to see him.

EmLee touched the toy, making it glow for a split second. Then the mouse squeaked and started scurrying around Redstripe. “It’s not a real mouse, so don’t try to eat it. But it will act as one,” EmLee said, as if the cat could understand. And she believed that cats could, because, well, cats are just scudding awesome.

Fadran sighed.

Why does the Fellowship keep fighting each other?

 

[Knight of Iron she/they]

From past experience conversing with Twolegs, Redstripe has learned that they were way smarter than meets the eye. He could intuitively pick up on what she was trying to say, yet he ducked down low and pounced on it all the same.

Anyone ever read Warriors?

It’s a tradition of Merl’s. And it’s what they do in the spare time I suppose.

also a fly just turned into a child in the middle of Fadran and Martins private conversation

Merl sees the glint of the sword in the corner of his eye. It’s close, too close for comfort.

“call off your sword I yiel-“

they hit the mountain.

Also, sorry, fadran. My character spars with the first willing person when he’s off his beast. I wanted to spar to kind of get a feel for what combat is like with him.

Stefan grunted again, his plated vibranium armor still managing to stay together. It absorbed most of the impact, the tremendous force of the impact becoming a form of green energy stored within the suit. He mentally dropped his sword and it landed on the snowy mountaintop. While his body was in a state of shock, again, his mind still raced. It was very cold. He helped the man to his feet.

"What was that? How far did we go?"

“Oh, that? I jumped. With a mountain sized creature’s strength all concentrated in my legs, we can jump pretty far. I would say we went a few greatstrides. Quite a trap you got me in there. A blade that flies, incredible! You’re the rightful winner of that duel, I’d say. Shall we jump back?”

Stefan stood up, and his vision faded black a bit. He ran a quick bodily analysis on himself. Some minor bumps and bruises but otherwise he was fine. "We'd better. Do we have to do it quite so... fast... this time? And what was your name again.

Meanwhile, back at camp, Professor X gave Stephen a look. "Think we ought to... help?"

"Nah, he's a Knight. He'll be fine."

“Merl. And yes, it’s better we take it slow. Dax will be too tired to lend me strength for a while. We can probably get back in a few bounds.” He dug his feet into the snow for support and offered Stefan his arm. “How are you with heights?”
