"So... What now?"

"I assumed Empathy had business here?"
"Yes, I'm taking order back down."
"What? No!"
"What do you mean, 'No?' There's an insane Anomaly on the loose other than Chaos and Umbra needs our help!"
"Umbra? Hmph! He doesn't have nearly enough skill to be a part of the Guard! If it weren't for his limitations, I would have beaten this 'Sergeant' in that 'inductory test' of his!"
"You do realize that beating me in an impromptu sparring match would have had no rewards whatsoever."
Order turns toward the Sergeant. "I've never been defeated in single combat before, and I can barely stand that I have." He turns back to Empathy. "I'm not going back, and you can't stop me."
The Sergeant sighs and looks toward Empathy. "You need to take him back for... What, exactly?"
"Umbra lost his Anomaly form as an effect of the black Anomaly's attack."
"Ah, yes, Paladin Seven debriefed me on that... And you need this 'Order' to restore it?"
"And two others, yes. I'm afraid we won't make much progress against this new threat if we don't restore Umbra's other body."
"...I see." The Sergeant gets up from his seat. "Order. If you want a second chance at facing me, I will grant it under one condition. If you lose, you must go back to the surface with Empathy."
Order scoffs. "Gladly. You've got yourself a deal."
"Ezekiel, Empathy... You two might want to stand back a little. Order, back up farther down the room and we will begin."

"Suit yourself."
Order summons a him-colored hammer that heavily hits the floor, then picks it up in both hands. "Ready when you are."
"Very well."
Three identical, cylindrical objects and two spherical ones fly off the shelves near The Sergeant and rotate around him in a ring, suspended perfectly in midair. They all activate, creating three hardlight swords and two hardlight shields, respectively. The crested metal shield hanging on the wall behind his desk floats down to complete the protective ring.
"No lethal blows."
"Understood. Have at you!"
Order lunges toward the old Guard, only to be shoved back by a hardlight shield. He swings his hammer, which is swiftly parried by a swipe of one sword. Another slaps Order's left flank with the flat of the blade.
"Humiliating." The yellow Anomaly sends a bolt of lightning forward, which gets drawn to the metal shield, leaving the man behind it unaffected.
"Hm. I thought that'd come in handy." The two hardlight shields fly forward and knock Order to the ground, then pin him to the floor. One of the swords floats over the Anomaly, pointed down at his neck.
"Damn it... All right, all right. I concede. Not much I can do, anyway."
"As you wish." The hardlight dissolves, and all the objects go back to their previous places. "Now, I trust you'll uphold your end of the bargain?"
Order sighs, defeated. "Yes..."
Empathy walks forward. "You know, I think Umbra lasted longer than you did."
"...Let's just go already."
"All right." Empathy and Order start heading out the door.
"Ezekiel, would you mind staying a moment? I'd like to talk to you a little. Don't worry, you're not in trouble."

Khaali takes the necklace. "Again, you'll have to interview. "I can't hire people on the fly because I'm the power source Avali. Some of the other metalworkers might take you in, but we use a lot of 3D printing. You'll have to convince them that that technology of yours is superior."

My primary specialty is facilitating the transfer of energy, be it heat to metal to forge, electricity to machines for power... Not a fan of fist to face for harm though, I don't particularly revel in causing harm, but I get paid well for manufacturing weaponry and that doesn't directly involve me. I will defend myself if I must, though that usually results in the use of RPGs... I don't care for RPGs.

I will say though, there's a reason I stay under these robes... Related to RPGs.

"Ah, someone must have told you about that... I can only read thoughts from one person at a time as they're thought. I don't use it often, and I haven't used it since you had that... Disturbing thought. As for 'immense' power... I'm just a telekinetic that's served too long for his own good." Sarge brings up a glass and bottle of water from under the desk and starts filling it. "What makes me so mysterious to you? It seems like you're harboring quite a few secrets yourself, but I'm not being nearly as cautious as you are." He slides the nearly full glass towards Ezekiel.

It definitely looks and sounds like water.
"I can see why you'd be suspicious, then. I'd be more open about who, exactly, I am if I were allowed to. You see, I may be the head of the Guard, but I still have superiors. They see my past as a... Confidential topic.

     Whether he was in trouble or not he couldn't tell, but the nurses had seen his mussing with the crystal even while blind.  He'd noticed that he'd mademany of them nervous with it's appearance.
