Zyarc (RP, C)

[The Shadow of Death]

(okay.)
[Auctoritas Castle]
"i know him." i state, looking at a juicy slice of pork.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Whopiv Outskirts: Me, Bomb]

I look at the bomb and say "Dammit." After it explodes, my head goes flying upwards and lands amidst my other limbs. A piece of my arm with my hand attached then began to twitch. It jumped up and used it's fingers to move around. It found a patch of soft dirt and wrote on it "Gottcha!" It then held up it's midlle finger. My severed head eyes blink and look around for a moment. "That was a good one. You have earned my respect."

[4leafclover]

Aaron was right behind him as he picked up his head with a smile "Hey i found a Felix" he said before looking curiously at Zeke, he turned the head around and upside down before dropping him on the ground, he pulled out a pail and started showering water on his head, a bit of a taunt and naivity

[Fuzz]

When the dust finally cleared, Rai found himself in a very dry looking desert. "What the, how did I get here?" Upon closer inspection it was just a very large dry patch of land, there was vegetation and tree's near by, and farther ahead there was a giant chunk of ground missing... "What in the-"

[Talvas ruins]

[MonsterGirlLuver]

Aaron was right behind him as he picked up his head with a smile "Hey i found a Felix" he said before looking curiously at Zeke, he turned the head around and upside down before dropping him on the ground, he pulled out a pail and started showering water on his head, a bit of a taunt and naivity

[Whopiv outskirts: Me, Aaron]

"Would you stop already!" One of my hands jump up and punch Aaron in the face. My limbs all begin to move around and gather around my head. The blood and muscles all begin to gain mass and come together, pulling the limbs together. After a while of squishy noises my body is completely healed. Only problem, I'm naked.

[4leafclover]

[Whopiv outskirts: Me, Aaron]

Aaron took the full force of the punch, he seemed to fall on the ground but just rolled backwards as the ground he left beeped again, not a time bomb this time, he left a Land mine which launched itself into the air and exploded into shrapnel near Zeke

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Whopiv outskirts: Zeke, Aaron]

I took the full force of the shrapnel. As I stood there, covered in shrapnel, I have a little bone shield covering my groin. I stood the with and angry face. "Now that just ain't right."

[4leafclover]

[Whopiv outskirts: Me, Aaron]

"takin advantage of everything" he said with a cheerful tone, he pulled out a bag with the word loot on, it, he dug inside smiling as he pulled out a large serrated pyramid head sort of blade, he swung it around behind him and threw it horizontally to Zeke

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[whopiv outskirts]

As the sword flies towards me, I raise my fist up and punch the blade. As my fist hits it, it shatters. My fist goes all the way through and the sword is all but dust. "Hows that?"

[4leafclover]

Aaron had ran behind Zeke, holding a knife "pretty sluggish" he said tapping his extended hand with a blue knife, it made a small cut on him, but that was all that was needed to make Zeke produce a yawn and start a countdown to sleep

[Marcus McCloud]

Sabrina was making Marcus her chew toy. Marcus had had just about enough of Sabrina and she had reminded him what training under Fox was like. Punch, throw, THUMP! This continued again and again, getting less and less serious over time. Marcus managed to throw Sabrina to the floor. "HA!" Her foot replaced both of Marcus' when it came to touching the floor. "AHHH!" THUMP! The scuffle continued for some minutes, Marcus down three every one time he brought down Sabrina. They finally ended when Marcus messed up and they both sprawled over each other. They looked into each others' eyes. The look got serious within seconds, then Sabrina remembered her mission and pushed him off.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[whopiv outskirts]

My eyes struggle to stay open. Before I fell asleep I was able to pull out a strangly designed dagger, and stabbed it into my forearm. I ran it completely through the bottom half of my arm and out between my ring and middle finger. My wound quickly heals, but my eyes glow crimson red. I begin to glow red as well. I hold out my hand at Aaron, he begins to glow red and is lifted off the ground and thrown away about 50 yards, skidding across the ground. "I was trying to be nice. Trying to not start a fight. Trying to make friends. But noooo."

[4leafclover]

(whopiv outskirts)

Aaron skidded before getting his bearings back, he had a bit of a smirk on his face "perfect, now i know it exists" he said silently, he threw a few seeds into the ground as they grew into large sunflowers, Aaron used them as platforms as he threw various loot from his bag at Zeke, such as hammers and Swords

Darko retracted the rune web as he tapped his staff on Lucky's dome "cmon out" he said as the shadow cracked, revealing Lucky again, well but still alert and active

[The Shadow of Death]

[Whopiv]
Haplon landed on the ground un-phased, and started running toward the outskirts.

[Marcus McCloud]

[Shelrage Canyon] Sabrina decided to take a walk. There were some hills not far away and she decided to hike them for a while. She slipped out and walked quickly. After a few minutes she slowed her pace. She walked among the trees and moved up the hill. Marcus' voice interrupted her serene world. "You thought you could get away from me?" She glared at him. "Take a hike." Marcus grinned at her choice of words. "I am, with you." She rolled her eyes.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[whopiv outskirts]

"Okay you know what. Fuck you. I'm done here. Where the fuck is Ana!?" I walk away, the swords just missing me.

[4leafclover]

Aaron just blinked, he had gotten into his fighting active stance, when Zeke left, he sort of just bounced in place, blinking rapidly as he turned to his naive goofy self, collecting his loot, Darko had finished smashing Aaron's dome, along with the flowers inside that have grown there, Aaron seemed a bit sad but kept walking to the group

[Fuzz]

Rai stepped closer to the ruins of the old Grand Forge. "W-what is this place? What happened here? Why is there all this empty space?" 'No time to worry about that now, you need to find the amulet.' "...I-I'll try, but this place is so big and empty and...Hmm? What's that over there?" Over in the distance there was a bright purple sparkling on the ground, apparently one of the relics that had survived the blast. He approached it and picked up the small purple crystal.

[Marcus McCloud]

[Shelrage Canyon]

Sabrina was walking along the edge of the Canyon. She was getting into the conversation. "Really? You like curry?" "Yeah. Why?" "I don't like it." "Are you crazy?" "No, I just don't like it." "Excatly. Like crab?" "King Crab the most." "Finally, something in common." Sabrina paused. "I have something that you don't have." Marcus smiled. "Try me." Sabrina lit up in a blue flame. The flames curled around her lovingly. Marcus gaped. "Your a Pyrokinetic like me." She grinned. "Yeah. Just like y- What?" Marcus' eyes grew an orange glow. Orange and red flames grew and surrounded him. Sabrina and Marcus looked into each other's eyes. They moved forward, arms grasping each other. They kissed, and the blue and orange flames shone for miles like a giant bonfire lighting the horizon as if the sun never set.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Wohpiv Outskirts: Ana, Zeke, Aaron, Lucky, Darko]

Ana appears at Zeke's cal, standing on thin air outside the platform. She snaps her fingers and the landscape returns to normal. She holds a hand out to Zeke, inviting him.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Whopiv Outskirts]

I cross my arms and say "Not until you tell me where we are going."

[DrNumaNuma]

[Whopiv Outskirts]

She frowns and jerks her head in the direction to her.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Whopic Outskirts]

"Oh fine." I jump up on the platform and sit down.

[DrNumaNuma]

((There is no platform now. She restored reality))

[Whopiv Outskirts]

An Ana splits off from herself and speaks to Zeke. "Where do you want to go now?"

[MonsterGirlLuver]

((Oh))

[Whopiv Outskirts]

My stomach rumbles loudly. "How bout somewhere to eat?"

[DrNumaNuma]

[Whopiv Outskirts]

Ana takes Zeke's hand and they both vanish in a flash.



[Quaw: Zeke, Ana]

Ana and Zeke appear in the middle of the street. "You'll find what you need here." And she vanishes again. Around a corner, a figure spies on the two and disappears as Ana vanishes.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Castle: tsod, Adrian, Nwura]

"I've lost track; where were we now?"

[The Shadow of Death]

(@Doc: i said i knew the harbinger...)

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]

I look to the figure. "May I ask who you are?"

[DrNumaNuma]

((Then it's your turn to ask a question tsod))

[Quaw: Zeke]

The figure darts around the corner, away from Zeke.

((My connections F'ed in the A, so I'm having troubles staying on))

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Castle]
"how long have you been working on your swordsmanship?"

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Castle: tsod, Nwura, Adrian]

"Ever since my third winter. As for how long that is, I will just say I'm older than most stars," He begins to eat. "How did the two or you meet?"

[Fuzz]

The young boy known as Rai walked up to the small piece of purple fragment and began to reach toward it. 'Yes that's right, tough it, let the two halves merge into one.' "M-merge?" He drew his hand away. 'Don't be afraid, it will be okay.' "But I'm scared...what if I'm not me anymore?" 'I'll help you, I promise I'll help you through the fear if you just let me' "But how?" There was a slight pause. 'Reach forward and embrace the future.' Rai swallowed his fear and reached a hand forward, the moment it made contact there was a brilliant flare of purple light, when it cleared Rai was about 10 years older (around 20 or so) and had long red hair, as well as bright green eyes instead of dark brown, and the Chinese symbol for Cat on his forehead.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

((Then it's your turn to ask a question tsod))

[Quaw: Zeke]

The figure darts around the corner, away from Zeke.

((My connections F'ed in the A, so I'm having troubles staying on))

I chase after the figure past the corner. "Hey wait up!"

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Castle]
"we met when i made her... originally. she was not always this way. the state she is in now happened when i resurected her, and made the Shadow Realm."

[4leafclover]

(wophiv outskirts)

The 3 met together cracking their bones a bit from the brawl with Zeke as Darko gave out a deep breath from over using his rune web, they cleaned themselves up a bit to look half respectable as Lucky handed Aaron an ornate box "now lets go greet them..past that little detour.."

[The Shadow of Death]

[Whopiv outskirts]

Haplon appeared behind Darko, "strange... they fit in, but they are not from here..."

[4leafclover]

Darko flinched and on a hair trigger, swung his staff around, the moon engulfed in fire, Lucky quickly stuck his hand out and shoved it out of the way from Haplon "Darko, enough!" he shouted, Darko panted heavily, paranoid and edgy, Lucky looked to the man(or woman -shrug-) and bowed "please excuse him, we just came in from a fight and hes still edgy..." he said giving off a sigh "may i ask what you mean as fit in?"

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Zeke]

"Not interested! Avoiding psychotic bitch at all costs!"

[Marcus McCloud]

[Shelrage Canyon]

The blue/orange bonfire lit for minutes. When the flames finally died, the ground around them was white-hot. They didn't even notice, because they directed the heat away from themselves. The thin film of flames never died, sheltering them as they walked. The Sister interrupted their peace."Are you alright? I saw that from miles away." Sabrina smiled. "We're alright." This will make my job easier... Marcus trusts me. Marcus nuzzled her. "Well, she's alright... I'm still lightheaded from her judo throws." "Aw..." Sabrina kissed Marcus. "Then I guess I'll have to leave you behind next time." Marcus, for some strange reason, felt instantly better and ready for another ten miles.

[The Shadow of Death]

(man...)

[Whopiv outskirts]
the man hadnt even flinched, seemingly expecting it. "you fit in as far as your race... this area is full of dark creatures."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]

"Hey! I was told I could get what I need here and I need some goddamn food!"

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Zeke, Ghost]

The figure turns around, one with a pale face and a ponytail. "...Okay, then. I can help with that. This way," Ghost beckons around the buiding."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]

I tilt my head at him and follow. "Okay. That was easier than expected."
((Gotta charge iTouch))

[4leafclover]

(whopiv)

"Dark creatures?....hum..." Lucky thought to himself or a while "may we speak to a leader? were really trying our hardest to make some strong ties here..." he said motioning to the box that Aaron had "we have a small gift and token of sorts for an allience"

[The Shadow of Death]

[Whopiv outskirts]

"you are speaking to one. i am the crown prince, but your tricks will not work. i watched how you destroyed the first town you came across..."

[4leafclover]

(wophiv outskirts)

Lucky just had a smirk "well um...that was to get a testing ground on most of the people here, we have a real present rather than a cooler filled with grenades this time" he said motioning to Aaron, who opened up the ornate box to reveal a ring "see? no tricks" Aaron said with his naive smile

[The Shadow of Death]

"except for what the ring does..."

[4leafclover]

Aaron quickly took the ring out, wearing it on his finger and moving it around "no razors with poison inside nor will it stick to you and drain your power" he said taking it off and placing it into the box again, offering it to Haplon

[The Shadow of Death]

"considering your powers i wasnt expecting it to do anything to you. be warned, if is malicious, i will kill all three of you slowly, and painfully. follow me." he turned, walking to Whopiv.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Whopiv outskirts: Darko, Lucky, Aaron, Anastasia]

From behind the group, Ana peered around a tree at the group, looking at the newcomer to the group with vague facination, but with a tired finality that she was no longer interested. Turning around, she quietly left the group without a word.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Ghost, Zeke]

"Believe me, it would be much easier if you had breasts. There's stands and bars scattered all around town, but it was just chance I was in the area; I was going to pick up some materials for a project of mine." He kicked at a stone. "Two questions, both of equal importance: One, why are you working with her? Two: Are you secretly a woman?"

[DrNumaNuma]

[Niquk]

'What have you found?'

'Nothing yet.'

'I'm going to try something.' Doc stated to flash teleport within the alley he was in. 'I'm overexerting the time drive a little. If we're lucky, we might be able to get the other one to resonate with mine.' A blob of black descends from the sky to Doc's location. 'Uh oh,'

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw: Ghost, Zeke]

"Believe me, it would be much easier if you had breasts. There's stands and bars scattered all around town, but it was just chance I was in the area; I was going to pick up some materials for a project of mine." He kicked at a stone. "Two questions, both of equal importance: One, why are you working with her? Two: Are you secretly a woman?"

"First, I'm just new to this world and she was the first person I met who didn't try to kill me. Second, no. All man."

[4leafclover]

(wophiv)

Lucky Aaron and darko surveyed the area, Aaron more of a jump happy maniac as he kept getting separated from them, going further to see things more up closely, Darko and Lucky stayed calm and didnt really ask anything as they followed

[Marcus McCloud]

[Shelrage Canyon, Marcus, Sabrina, Sister]

As the sun was rising over the edge of the Canyon, Marcus had a thought. "What if we found out Zyarc was a ruse, a hoax to lure all the heroes from every universe here to be exterminated." Sabrina started to get into this idea. "Then the Mastermind would have total control over Zyarc and every universe connected to it." The Sister continued this line of thought. "This 'Mastermind' would have to have extraordinary power to even attempt such a feat. Not to mention he'd have to be able to hide his intentions from Shadow." "But then who could it be?" "The Doctor." The Sister laughed. "No. The Doctor would have to have something that would give him an advantage. I always see Shadow after a battle with Doc, whistling over the screams and pleas from the Doc as he drowns in clotting blood and horrid souls." Sabrina cringed. "You said she was in your mind, Marcus. No wonder your insane." "Hey!" "Let's stay focused, who could it be?" "Shadow." Marcus laughed. "No. If it was him, he would crush us like a bug." The Sister had an epiphany. "The Tainted Energy of Zyarc!" "The what?" "Of course! Not too long ago, we needed to drain Zyarc of excess energy. That energy held an evil so vile that it nearly destroyed the personalities of Ricardo, The Brother, The Sister, and myself. By the way, what happened to that evil?" "I don't remember, you and I were unconscious at the time. I think we should find Adam and tell him." "Whoa, this was just a random thought, right?" "Sometimes random thoughts have more merit than you first think."

[DrNumaNuma]

((I don't recall ever encountering you Marcus. How do you know Doc?))

[Quaw: Ghost, Zeke]

"Drat. I have a boner I wanted to get rid of ever since the quakes. This way; first round's on me." Ghost says, gesturing to a food stand a block away.

[The Shadow of Death]

(@Doc, whats the blob in Niquk?)

[path to Whopiv Castle]
"so tell me, where do you hail from?"

[Auctoritas Castle]

"would you like a satisfying duel? it has been a while since i have had one."

[DrNumaNuma]

((It's the defense perimeter around Niquk))

[Auctoritas Castle: tsod, Adrian, Nwura]

"Satisfying? Only three have matched me in a skill of blades. Can you compete?"

[The Shadow of Death]

(thats what i thought)

"i far out match you for power, my blades kill immortals, and only two people have exited a real battle with me alive. my blades could beat you without me present, most likely."

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Castle: tsod, Adrian, Nwura]

Adrian reaches a hand up for the hilt of the blade on his back. "Will... not... serve..." Adrian thinks for a second. "Huh."

He withdraws his hand and instead reaches into the small of his back and pulls out a Katzbalger. "Shall we then?"

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Castle]

"first things first! we need to go to the built in Arena!"
i turn to the door, "Midas!"
a Midas boils up from the ground, "to the Arena."
"yes master! this way." he turns, heading out the dinning room and turning left. i follow, beckonning Adrian to follow.

(sue me for the spelling...)

[4leafclover]

{path to Wophiv castle}

"The netherworld" Lucky said calmly walking "more specifically, clover islands" he said opening a map, it was a bit worn and the title to the map was rubbed out, Darko pointed to the Island in the east of the map, it looked exactly like a 4 leaf clover would look like

[The Shadow of Death]

[path to Whopiv Castle]
"strange... but hey, strange is normal here!"

as they were walking something was following on bothsides. Haplon spoke when he heard it, "dont worry, they're just hellhounds... two of the biggest ones i've seen too... my father's are bigger though..."

[4leafclover]

(path to wophiv castle)

Aaron popped out of the top of Lucky's top hat, looking at the Hellhounds with the biggest grin on his face "doggies!" he hopped off of Lucky's Head and went to the dogs, smiling, Lucky rubbed his head and Darko just watched "hey theyre not dangerous right?" Lucky asked

[The Shadow of Death]

[Whopiv]

"they are very dangerous due to being wild, but they dare not attack because they can see my true form. but you better refrain from advancing on them, they are invisible for a reason."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

((I don't recall ever encountering you Marcus. How do you know Doc?))

[Quaw: Ghost, Zeke]

"Drat. I have a boner I wanted to get rid of ever since the quakes. This way; first round's on me." Ghost says, gesturing to a food stand a block away.

[Quaw]
"Thank you kindly. What do they have to eat?"

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Castle: tsod, Nwura, Adrian]

Adrian follows the Midas' beckon, stepping through the portal with the Katzbalger drawn.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Zeke, Ghost]

A large-bellied man with an apron stretched over his gut approached the pair. "Ah! Welcome back Ghost. Pale as ever, I see. Here, I have the usual ready for you." He waddles his way through his employees and picks up a bowl, scoping the contents of a pot into it.

"Here you go," the cook says, rubbing his hands on his apron. Ghost slid the meat and vegetable stew over to Zeke. "There ya go," He says.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]
I look down at the stew and back to the cook. "You got any steaks? I could go for a large steak and some hot sauce."

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Zeke, Ghost]

"What am I? Made out of money?" Ghost says irritably, but the man shakes it off and places the order with the cook.

[4leafclover]

[Whopiv]

"they are very dangerous due to being wild, but they dare not attack because they can see my true form. but you better refrain from advancing on them, they are invisible for a reason."

"Ah, i see, no harm then" Lucky said walking away as Aaron looked around curiously, moving his hand around the air to see if he could feel the invisible beast

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Zeke, Ghost]

"And by the way, I'm going to drug anything and everything you eat in order to secretly lug your titanic ass to my basement next to another corpse and experiment on you."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]

When I hear these words I pull out a rather large cleaver and smash it on the table. "Then you will be my next meal."

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Zeke, Ghost]

"I was kidding, I swear." He says without even a little bit of earnestness. The man brought over a cut of meat and set it next to Zeke.

"Dig in," Ghost encouraged.

[Marcus McCloud]

((I don't recall ever encountering you Marcus. How do you know Doc?))

((Marcus, while he was possessed by The Sister, asked you to take some of the evil soul after you made a deal with Ricardo when he was possessed by this evil. The Sister and Marcus know you because of that. Then Shadow made a prison for the evil within Marcus' mind.))

[Marcus McCloud]

[Shelrage Canyon, Marcus, Sabrina, Sister]

Sabrina was drinking out of her canteen when she realized something. "We have no idea where Adam is or how to find him. How are we going to do that?" The Sister opens her eyes from an almost meditative state. "After leaving Marcus' body, I had to re-learn how to open portals. It's like learning how to whistle again after loosing a front tooth. She held her hand out straight. "Find Adam... bring him here." A soft hum came from the planet. All the sand hummed, searching. A blue glowing mist built into a portal and held. A familiar face showed through the portal. "Adam!" The Sister exclaimed. Marcus smiled at the Sister's enthusiasm. "Well, Adam? Are you going to keep a beautiful lady waiting? The Sister ignored him.

[x adams]

[Shelrage Canyon, Marcus, Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

Adam had been resting with his hands behind his back, then a portal opened up. He was still asleep when he was transported through, but the jolt of landing brought him awake and he sat up, looking quickly from left to right. "Owww marcus why'd you-oh hi!" he stood up as the sister called his name, then growled at marcus with narrow eyes. "Har har, now, as much as I'd like to say that she brought me here just because she missed me, I have a feeling you have another reason" he folded his arms and waited for a reply

[Marcus McCloud]

[Shelrage Canyon; Marcus, Sabrina, Sister]

Marcus nodded. The Sister walked up to him. "I'll admit, I did miss you." Marcus scoffed. "I bet you did." Even Sabrina looked at him in puzzlement. "Marcus, are you Ok?" Marcus blinked. "Huh? Yeah. Why?" Because that outburst was not like you, Sabrina wanted to say. She said nothing. "We believe that Zyarc is a hoax. We think it was to destroy the heroes that come to stop it. We need your held in piecing together what happened. Marcus and I don't remember what happened after we opened a portal to the Subterranean Necropolis."

[x adams]

[Shelrage Canyon, Marcus, Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

Adam smiled at her as she approached her "really?" he smiled, then wondered who the other woman was but pushed the question out of his head for now, ignoring marcus's retort. Adam's eye, however, took on a slightly darker look as he cast his mind back to the battle in the necropolis, oh yeah, it wasn't the bets of things.

[Subterranean necropolis, Nathan]
A stream of bright, white energy flew towards the center of the area, it impacted on the ground and produced a incredably bright flash. Nathan was there on one knee as the light faded. He growled and picked himself up, shaking his head. "changing into energy to teleport....how did I come up with that?" he muttered to himself and looked around. Darkness, it was pitch black, but there was something else. Something was wrong there was more than simply shadows.

[Marcus McCloud]

[Shelrage Canyon; Marcus, Sabrina, Sister]

The Sister smiled at Adam. Marcus rolled his eyes. "Come on. Ask him what happened so we can screw the evil once and for all!" The Sister and Sabrina blinked at him. Marcus blinked and shook his head. "I'm sorry. I've just been so tired and I want to go home. By rights we should all be at home being bored out of our skulls." The Sister and Sabrina weren't buying it.

[x adams]

[Shelrage Canyon, Marcus, Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

He's tired? yeah right he walked up to the sister and whispered to her. "Can we talk, privatley, without attracting suspicion" he didn't lean towards her ear, and made sure his mout barley moved. He spoke just enough for her to hear him, but low enough for marcus to ignore it

[Marcus McCloud]

[Shelrage Canyon, Marcus, Sabrina, Sister]

She nodded. "Marcus, you go with Sabrina and check out the area. Adam and I will scout the area ahead. I think we're being watched." The Sister walked off with Adam, while Sabrina and Marcus go off. "It's great to see you again. I really missed you. Badly." She waited until they were out of earshot. "I did miss you, but that's not my thoughts on the situation. What do you think about Marcus' attitude change?"

[x adams]

[Shelrage Canyon, Marcus, Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

"Thanks!" he said dryly then spoke low again "can you check the cage on the tainted energy inside of him?, I have a feeling its eroding" he glanced aound then spoke low again "Do you think the help call to zyarc was a hoax?"

[DrNumaNuma]

[Shelrage Canyon, Marcus, Sabrina, Sister, Adam, Ana]

Peaking over a boulder, Ana watched the group with slight disinterest, partially due to the recent fight with Lucky and Zeke.

[Marcus McCloud]

[Shelrage; Sister, Adam]

She thought. "Yes I can." She felt his mind. She pulled out immediately. "Yes... yes it is... there is nothing we can do to stop it." She gritted her teeth. "We can slow it, but we can't stop it without the help of-" Marcus had followed them, with Sabrina gasping for breath behind him. "Marcus, why did you want to come back here?" The Sister knew... Marcus had felt the intrusion and had ran back. "You wanted something, Sister. Information? My loyalties? What did you want?"

[x adams]

[Shelrage; Sister, Adam, marcus, sabrina, ana]

"She's just worried about you marcus, you haven't exactly been acting normal recently. She was just checking you were alright" he breathed out he wasn't sure if that would work, that would have calmed down marcus, but he wasn't sure about what stood before him.

[Subterranean necropolis, Nathan]

Nathan stuck out his hand, as if to touch the darkness, tainted energy swirled around his arm. He let of a blast of core energy and dispersed the tainted energy, but instead of continuing on and ligting up some of the necropolis, it was instead swalowed up by the darkness. "Ooooh kay, that aint good" he muttered again

[DrNumaNuma]

[Shelrage Canyon, Marcus, Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

Seeing nothing of interest going on, Ana vanishes into nothingness in a burst of blue.

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Arena]
we step out onto a sand bottomed arena, with golden stands reaching up. it seemed to be at the center of the castle. there were no doorways into or out of the arena.

i pull the udødelig out, "Death just brings you back if killed right? because i invented the techniques of all weapons, i was the one to teach Death, but i never taught him everything." i spin the blades into my usual backwards grasp, sliding my right foot back and away from my left, holding it at a 90 degree angle as i

[The Shadow of Death]

bend my knees and lean forward slightly, the blade in my right hand held back like my foot, while the other is held horizontally in front of me.

Haplon spoke as the woods died out, "we are here."
there was nothing but flat ground ahead in the darkness.

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Castle, dinning room: Nwura]
"hmmm... i guess i will explore the planet while they are having their fun..." a bright flash illuminated the room and she was gone.

Nwura appeared on a mountain peak, hearing comotion in the valley below.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena]
because i invented the techniques of all weapons, i was the one to teach Death, but i never taught him everything."

((That... makes no sense.))

Adrian holds the katzbalger in an iaido defensive stance, unmoving.

[The Shadow of Death]

(basically, he created all fighting stlyes, and he didnt teach death everything)

[DrNumaNuma]

((That still doesn't make sense. You can't teach someone a fighting style if it doesn't exist. You can be awesome in it if you want, but it has to be there first.))

Quaw: Zeke, Ghost]

"Well, what are you waiting for? Eat up. I swear there's only one body down in the basement and he was already dead when I found him. Food's not poisoned yet either.

[4leafclover]

bend my knees and lean forward slightly, the blade in my right hand held back like my foot, while the other is held horizontally in front of me.


[Whopiv]
Haplon spoke as the woods died out, "we are here."
there was nothing but flat ground ahead in the darkness.

Aaron seemed a bit sad, not finding any dogs, he sat there moping a bit before Darko called him back to his side, Lucky looked forward to Wophiv, his eyes pretty much seemed like he was uninterested at all.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw: Zeke, Ghost]

"I was kidding, I swear." He says without even a little bit of earnestness. The man brought over a cut of meat and set it next to Zeke.

"Dig in," Ghost encouraged.

I look at the food and back at Ghost. "Ill have you know that my body has been trained to be immune to poisons. Well, all poisons that are ingested. Only most that are injected. My stomach is quite strong."

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quae: Zeke, Ghost]

"I said I was kidding. And stop glaring at me like that. The hell's wrong with you?"

[The Shadow of Death]

[Whopiv]

Haplon whispered a few words in an ancient tongue. the words carried as the blank area shimmered. A large castle emerged out of the top of the shimmering, then other dark buildings emerged. soft lighting lit the vast city, along with the towering castle. the streets were full, bustling with hawkers and streetside carts. "we are going to the castle, follow me." Haplon took off down the main road, turning on the first street to the left.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]
My eye twitches a little and I look at him. I then stick a fork into the steak and eat the whole thing in one big bite. I swallow it and say "Not bad. What do you do around here for fun?"

[4leafclover]

Lucky and Darko nodded as Aaron just ran around the 3, looking around at every stand and cart, he was like a kid in a candy store (or a kid with ADHD) Neither of his partners gave a damn about him, almost making sure that they had no affiliation with him, after some time, Darko glared at Aaron, he froze up and slinked back to the group, though, there was a strange empty spot on every vendor's cart...

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Zeke, Ghost]

"The usual way to have fun is to get piss drunk and start fights. Wanna come?"

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Arena]

i move forward as time slows around us, seemingly floating.

[The Shadow of Death]

[Whopiv]
a bolt of blue fire shot out of the castle, heading for Lucky, Darko, and Aaron.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

At tsod's first step, Adrian immediately bolted to tsod, bringing the Katzbalger up in a vertical slash.

[4leafclover]

Lucky and Aaron looked at the bolt as they took a step behind Darko, who sighed and hung his head, reaching in his pockets, he pulled out a blue Magnet, holding it up to the sky "Magic Magnet" he said, forcing the bolt to go to him only.

[The Shadow of Death]

[Whopiv]

the bolt went to Darko but persisted, enveloping the three as the ground broke away. it then floated up, and towards the castle.

[Auctoritas Arena]
i side step, following up with a backslash of blazing speed, igniting the air behind the blade.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Niquk]

"Rrraaarrgh!" Kalidor took a mighty leap into the air and came crashing down on the blob with his sword, slicing it in half, and created a small crater during his impact with the ground. "You were right. Above." He stated. Doc looked upwards and a faint flicker of blue could be seen in the retreating black.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

Adrian's clothing caught fire, smoke and flame enveloping his form before he collapsed in a heap.

Crack!

Adrian's sword protruded form the front of tsod's chest. Adrian was behind tsod, his hat and large coat discarded.

[The Shadow of Death]

i move to the side as the sword passes through me unhindered.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

Adrian plants a kick to the side of tsod's patella and stabs the sword downward., aiming for his skull.

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Arena]
the kick goes through me as i disappear as ten of me surround you(not copies)

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

Adrian doesn't break stride as he jumps into the tsod in front of him, thrusting his sword in him.

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Arena]
the blade is wrapped in black flames as i step to the side while attempting a mordhau while hitting your blade aside. i close in from the other 9 positions, as each throw a blade which form into metalic copies of you(down to knowledge base and powers, but retaining control.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

As he was hit to the side, his blade flew widely in his grip and impaled a metallic copy through the chest. Giving a thrust, he impaled the copy behind him through the skull. He kept the momentum behind the sword and forced another copy into the wall, impaling him on the blade as he collides through the wall. He gave a high kick behind him, hitting another one of his clones before doing a roundhouse to his head. The copy hits the floor with a metallic thud.

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Castle]
the metallic copies get back up, rushing forward all at once while the rest of us charge a dark fire ring, which forms a dome.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

Adrian catches a punch by one of them and puts him in a joint lock, using him as a shield to block another one. Using him as a shield, he maneuvers around the other copies, using and theirown weapons to impale each other.

"Come on; no one knows how I fight better than me, so I know what they're going to do better than they do. Actually make an attempt to fight me instead of having me spar against myself." He removes the joint lock from the last copy and kicks him in the back. Throwing the katzbalger, he impales the metal copy through the calf into the floor. Stepping on its hand, he grabs his other hand, kicks his elbow to break it, wrenches the shoulder, wraps his head around the copy's neck.

"Vibhinatti," Adrian whispers. The copies head explodes in his hands and falls to the ground.

[4leafclover]

[Whopiv]

the bolt went to Darko but persisted, enveloping the three as the ground broke away. it then floated up, and towards the castle.

[Auctoritas Arena]
i side step, following up with a backslash of blazing speed, igniting the air behind the blade.

Lucky and Aaron looked a bit shocked, Darko didnt really seem to care though, if it tried to kill him, he could get away easy, without a care if the other 2 survived, when it lifted and floated to the castle, they looked a bit puzzled and confused

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Arena]
"fine... try these for size." the copies get back up, reasembling themselves as they change: one changes to Doc, another into a Lucien, another into Ana, another into the Spider, another into Kalidor, another into the old Fuzz, another into Nwura, another into Aaron, and another into Ricardo. the ten of me start chanting in the Language of Eternals as the dark fire ring starts to take on its own form beside Adrian.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw: Zeke, Ghost]

"The usual way to have fun is to get piss drunk and start fights. Wanna come?"

[Quaw]

"Nah. I prefer the ladies. What happened to Ana? I liked her."

[Marcus McCloud]

[Shelrage; Sister, Adam, marcus, sabrina, ana]

"She's just worried about you marcus, you haven't exactly been acting normal recently. She was just checking you were alright" he breathed out he wasn't sure if that would work, that would have calmed down marcus, but he wasn't sure about what stood before him.

[Shelrage: Marcus, Sister, Sabrina]

Sabrina was taken aback. "Whoa, what's going on?" The Sister touched her shoulder. "We are afraid for Marcus." Marcus scoffed. "Is that why you were skimping around my head?" "We needed to be sure, and what we found-" "What did you find?" "I don't care what you found! Stop screwing with me!" He raised an arm covered with fire. Sabrina leaped in front of it, held it, then kissed him. She held him close. "Your soul is a fire, threatening to burn you away. My kiss quenches the fire, soothing your spirit." Marcus' eyes lost their hating gaze. "Th-thank you." Sabrina kissed him again. "You're welcome." Sabrina turned to The Sister. "We're running out of time."

[The Shadow of Death]

(@marcus: dont forget, Nwura is watching you from a nearby mountaintop.)

[Marcus McCloud]

[Shelrage; Marcus, Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

Marcus started to fade again. "Sister, hurry!" The Sister called back. "Kiss him again." Sabrina did. Marcus found it a relief, but its effect was less profound. "Done. Now hurry!" Marcus jerked away. "It's taking me... Sabrina... May my love find me 1...3...7..." He slipped into insanity. "Finally! Marcus' soul is mine." Marcus tapped a command into his teleporter and was gone in a flash of light. Sabrina tapped her controls. "I can't lock onto his teleporter without his password." The Sister looked at her. "It's obvious. He just told you." Sabrina tapped in: maymylovefindme137. She found it and told her teleporter to lock onto it wherever it goes. She tele-jumped.

She found Marcus in a forest. He looked at her. "I should have changed the combination. Are you so willing to die as to follow me? Be gone." She tossed a blue-hot ball of flame at his face. It exploded on a shield of red flames. "Your mistake..." He ran at her, thrusting a pulse of fire at her. She blocked it with a blue shield. Before she could blink he was gone again. She tele-jumped. She found herself at 30,000 ft with Marcus waiting for her. He rocketed toward her and tackled her. They punched and jabbed with fire-bolts only to be blocked by one another. Sabrina found herself on the losing streak, but Marcus was sweating, even with the wind billowing past them. For minutes they fell, striking and blocking, then Marcus Jumped away. She followed and found herself in a ruined Castle. Marcus caught her from behind and blasted her into the wall. If she hadn't tried to slow down with a stream of fire, she would probably been given more than a few broken ribs through her powered armor. She fell ten feet to the floor. Marcus stepped up to finish her. A spear of red flames appeared in his hand. "Now you die, 'my sweet'." He raised his arm to thrust. She began to cry. She begged him. "Please don't kill me." His hand was stayed. The twitching and cringing showed there was a serious fight for control. Sabrina's tears were halfway down her cheek. "I-I love you..." There was a shudder as Marcus regained control. "Kill... me... now!" Sabrina pulled out her blaster. She hesitated. "Please Sabrina.... before it takes me..." His voice started to change. "...again." His eyes were given a red glow. Her blaster exploded. He raised the fire-spear without hesitation. A portal opened right in the nick of time. A beam of green energy smashed into Marcus and there was a cracking sound when he hit the wall. It was hard to tell whether it was the wall or his ribs that were cracking. The Sister stepped through and enshrined the unconscious Marcus in a prison of Zyarc energy.

[x adams]

[Shelrage; Marcus, Sabrina, Sister, Adam]
Adam locked on to the sister's energy and teleported to her location. He arrivied in a ruined castle, which had fresh scars. He looked at the scene, the woman he had seen before on the ground, looking undamaged thanks to her power armor but she could have had internal injuries. He turned to marcus and his heart lurched. Marcus really had been taken over by the tainted conciousness again, and the sister had to step in. "Damn it! we can't leave this thing in his head or it will keep coming back, is there any way to destroy the being in his head?"

[Marcus McCloud]

[Castle of Peace; Marcus, Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

The Sister shook her head. "Not without killing the body in which it resides before it leaves it." Sabrina shouted at her. "NO!" Even she was shocked at her reaction. "No. I-it can be solved some other way." The Sister exclaimed. "Are you kidding? He nearly killed you! I saw him about to jam a pole of fire right through your heart. And you want to keep him alive?" Sabrina grabbed her. "What if it was Adam, huh? What if it was Adam?" Silence filled the room as the Sister looked at Adam. "I... I don't-" Sabrina shoved her against the wall. "You wouldn't kill Adam. And I'm not letting you kill Marcus." She let her go and curled up into the corner and felt quietly wretched. The Sister looked to Adam for support. I can't believe it, Sabrina thought. I'm going against my orders concerning Marcus. If anyone, I should be wanting to finish him off. She searched for a reason why. Oh, I'm thinking it's not fair to kill Marcus this way... I need to get over that. She was in deep denial.

[x adams]

[Castle of Peace; Marcus, Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

Adam walked to the sister and placed a hand on her shoulder, looking into her eyes. "There has to be another way, shes right you would reuse to kill me if it came down to being required" he sighed deeply then hugged her for a moment. "I'm sorry but your goign to have to let it live for now" He looked at sabrina, "C'mon lets thing about this, there must be some other way, there always is. Why is the tainted being in his mind in the first place?"

[Marcus McCloud]

[Castle of Peace; Marcus (possessed), Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

The Sister melted into Adam's arms. He was completely right. She wouldn't have killed him. Sabrina spoke up. "We need to rebuild the prison within Marcus' mind. Or better yet, destroy the thing once and for all. The only person with that kind of power is Shadow." The Sister responded. "I doubt he will come simply because we ask him." She nodded. "We will need to find him." A moan came from the prison. It was Marcus. The Sister exclaimed. "Impossible! That should have put him into a coma..." Marcus stood. "My dears... Sabrina, dear Sister, Adam." He looked at all of them through the energy prison. Sabrina looked back at him with hate. "Show me Marcus!" Marcus smiled evilly. His voice wasn't quite the same. It was more resonant. It seemed to fill you with a deep sense of dread. "Of course my dear... if that were possible. We exist together now; two minds with one intent." He cocked his head as he looked at Sabrina. Marcus' voice came through the wall of energy. "A collection of lies, that's all I am. Stolen thoughts and memories..." The resonant voice came back. "And yet, perhaps a part of him... remains." Marcus' real voice was being used again, and to hear him laugh like that sent shivers down Sabrina's spine. "Mwhahahahah-ha-ha ha ha."

[x adams]

[Castle of Peace; Marcus (possessed), Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

"Oh come on now...Its not like we've heard that line before. We've stopped you controlling Marcus beofre we can do it again" He cringed slightly as he used Marcus' voice but spoke like it usualy did, it was taunbting them. "Don't listen to it, hard as it may be." He turned to the sister again, "Shadow has many agents, maybe we need to find one to contact him"

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Zeke, Ghost]

"No one knows. Most likely back to her boss. She has to other companions if your interested. They're both in an underwater city right now. They had a third, but he's dead. Hopefully. Anyway, if you're interested in the girls, we can go to the brothel. You're buying your own way this time, though, you goddamn freeloader."

[DrNumaNuma]

[Actoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

Adrian first targets Doc, easily overwhelming him with a flurry of swipes before finally giving a kick to his sternum to knock his breath out. He turns on Lucian now, using the same tactic as before, never letting up his assault to prevent a counter attack. He was forced to dive back, in order to evade attacks form both Fuzz and Kalidor, retreating again to avoid a followup attack from them both. Lucian had vanished now, cloaking himself in the light of the stadium. The group split and started to flank him, but he again targeted Doc, overpowering him, this time using the Katzbalger to behead him. He ran forward, gathering the tattered remains of his coat and flung it behind him. Luckily, the ash revealed the invisible form of Lucian. Using the opportunity, Adrian swiped at his midsection, gashing his stomach before Aaaron came at his heels.

[Marcus McCloud]

[Castle of Peace; Marcus (possessed), Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

Marcus let out another cackle. "It's impossible to destroy a part of yourself." The Sister blinked and looked at Sabrina. "What did he mean by that?" Sabrina gritted her teeth. "I don't fucking care. Call Shadow so I can watch the evil soul scream in agony." MArcus visibly became stronger suddenly. The Sister stepped up to Marcus and entered his mind. She shot out quickly. "He's blocking me." She tried again. She widened her eyes and backed off. "He wasn't lying." Sabrina looked confused and angry. "About what?!?" Marcus again became stronger.

[x adams]

[Castle of Peace; Marcus (possessed), Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

"Ok, how is he growing stronger?!, and by not lying, do you mean what he said earlier?" his hand drifted to his right blade, worried that marcus might break from the prison the sister had constructed

[Marcus McCloud]

[Castle of Peace; Marcus (possessed), Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

The Sister nodded. "Marcus is in there, and is separable, but he is telling the truth about the other thing. It is a apart of us." Sabrina looked at her. "That's not possible." The Sister nodded. "I'm afraid so." Sabrina shook her head. "I won't believe that it's a part of us!" Marcus built in strength. The Sister looked at her. "Believe it."

[The Shadow of Death]

(damn...)

[Auctoritas Castle]
(aaron is more likely to steal your strength) the ring of black flame then imploded, catching all ten of you from all sides.

[Castle of Peace]

a bright flash lit the ruins as Nwura appeared on the far side of the room.

[Marcus McCloud]

[Castle of Peace; Marcus, Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

Marcus ignored Nwrua's entrance he looked at Adam, smiling. "How's Elaine?" He covered his mouth in a fake gasp. "Oh that's right," he said smiling. "She was too busy buying time for you when she was brutally murdered. Tsk, tsk... she should learn to dodge more often. And she never knew how you felt about her..." He lowered his head, his nose making a triangle while his red glowing eyes locked onto Adam's. He said the final words without a hint of irony and in Marcus' voice. "How delightful." He looked at Sabrina, who was feeling rage at the use of Marcus' voice. "Sabrina, how's your sister? Still fighting that tumor? You should shoot her through head and be done with it." She was twitching with rage as the Sister finally broke the monopoly. "Silence!" Marcus smiled. "I know I have nothing on you, but you have nothing on me either." The Sister held Adam. "Or perhaps I do. Hehe."

[x adams]

(that...was low my furry friend..........very low! I'm in character lol)

Adam felt pure rage rise up inside him, it was overflowing, he felt he was going to burst with rage "How.....Dare you!..." he muttered with a low and menacing voice that Didn't sound like him. "YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Adam tore from the sister's grasp and flew at him with both swords unsheathed, chakra poured into them and they blazed with power and Adam's own rage, "HOW DARE YOU FUCKING LAUGH ABOUT HER!!!"

[Marcus McCloud]

[Castle of Peace; Marcus (possessed), Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

The Sister tried to stop him. "NO! That's what he wants-!" Marcus gained the sum of the malice, rage, and anger of everyone in the room. He thrust his arms out and the prison shattered. The Sister leaped in front of Adam and was thrown into the wall so hard it nearly brought the wall down. Sabrina tried to spear him with a blade of fire, only to be blasted across the room. She was bleeding from her nose and ears. Marcus looked at Adam. "Elaine would be disappointed..." He looked at the Sister. "Yet another girl you cared about saved your life and you brush it off. She would say that's..." He mimicked her voice perfectly. "A bad habit Adam. You should know better. Hehe."

[x adams]

"SISTER!!" he was bout to run to her when a sweet voice caught his ears and he froze, slowley turning, "You can't..how can you..imita-" Images flashed across his mind, a yougn girlf beaming to him as she took his hand, a kiss, he was against a wall with his master converging on him. A rush of air, a horrific scwelth and a gargle, blood her mout, his hands.... "Graaaaaagh!!!!!!!!!!!!!" rage had made him delusional, he thought marcus was his master, right after he had killed elaine. He appeared infront of him in a split second and braught both his blades down in an X shape slash at blinding speeds

[Marcus McCloud]

[Castle of Peace; Marcus (possessed), Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

Marcus had been feeding off of Adam's Id solely when he knocked both Sabrina and the Sister unconscious. That was his first mistake. That caused him to be pulled into the fantasy that he was Adam's master after he had killed Elaine. His second mistake was trying to pull out of it instead of quitting while he was ahead and teleporting out of there. Those two mistakes, lasting only fractions of a second themselves, bought Adam enough time to make a successful strike at his midsection. Although the blades did not cut him into bite sized pieces, the force of them threw him through the wall behind him, bringing the wall down on top of him. His hand stuck out of the rubble, and a quick feel of his pulse would tell you he was alive, but unconscious. Sabrina moaned from broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder, while the Sister was silent. She was unconscious and needed medical attention and fast.

[x adams]

Adam panted heavily "you. fucker. still alive!" he was about to lunge again when he was shot back into reality, he took one of his swords and stabbed right through his left hand, he roared in pain and gritted his teeth. But the rage and delusion faded. He slid the sword out again, slowley to make sure he still felt it, then tossed it aside, and looked around. His eyes opened wide when he saw the sister and sprinted for her sliding and picking her up. "no, no, no, no, no! c'mon!" he felt her pulse, slightly faster than normal but she was breathing. He set his good hand on her chest and a white energy glowed from his hand and pulsed through her. She was severely damaged and it was draining a lot of his reserves but he gritted his teeth and bared it

[Marcus McCloud]

[Castle of Peace; Marcus (possessed), Sabrina, Sister, Adam]

The Sister gasped. She coughed as the energy filled her, repairing the damage to her. When the damage was repaired, she looked up at him. "In hindsight, that was a really dumb thing I did, but for you... it was worth it." She kissed him, feeding him energy that he lost healing her. Sabrina got up, wincing at the pain. She noticed Nwura finally and blinked. "Hello. Who are you?"

[x adams]

Adam's eyes watered slightly, he had worried he had lost someone else, and returned her kiss, hugging her tightly, feeling energy spread through him. He thanked her and broke the hug, though still on his knees, he turned to where sabrina had asked "oh"

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

Adrian emerged from the flames, sword in hand. Flesh, skin and muscle hung off his bones, but the skin hanging off of his skull was tugged into a rough smile. Seemingly of its own volition the muscles reknit themselves and the skin resealed over the wounds. "I told you that's not going to work."

[The Shadow of Death]

[Whopiv Castle]

Lucky, Darko, and Aaron landed in the middle of the throne room, Haplon standing in front of them, "your audience with the Count."

[Castle of Peace: MarcusX3, Adam, Nwura]
"I am the Queen of Purity and Light, and Shadow's wife."

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Arena]

"maybe not, but i am learning a lot from this battle."

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

"So what is the condition for this fight? Here lie two immortals. Do we fight until judgment day and trumpets sound, hmm?"

[The Shadow of Death]

"this is not a duel, just a sparring match. we have both been deprived of such for a while."

(there are rules for duels with immortals in the OOC, but like i said, its not a duel.)

[4leafclover]

(whopiv castle)

Lucky looked even more confused, aaron just scratched his head "a what with a who?" he asked childishly

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

"Heh. I had three. Those three duels were more than satisfying for my life." He raises the Katzbalger above his head and spread his legs. "Then let us begin."

[The Shadow of Death]

[Whopiv Castle]
"you know, the ring..." Haplon stepped aside, giving them view of the throne. The Count looked like an aged Haplon.

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Arena]
"if you tire of this, let me know." we draw our fighting stances as the blades revert and return to my hand.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

"Ohhh, never." Adrian runs, jumps, and prepares a downward thrust.

[Wolf]

[Talvas Ruins: Fuzz]

Near the outskirts of the vegitation a wolf crouched low watching this new comer change suddenly. A slight breeze brings in the new scent and he locks it to his memory. He stands on his paws and cautiously enters the clearing.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]
"You know what? Brothel it is! Let us be off to see wenches and whores! I'm up for a couple of drinks and some pussy. And don't worry I can pay."

[Marcus McCloud]

[Castle of Peace: MarcusX3, Adam, Nwura]
"I am the Queen of Purity and Light, and Shadow's wife."

[Castle of Peace; Marcus (possessed), Sabrina, Sister, Adam, Nwura]

The Sister rose, then bowed. "It is an honor and a pleasure." Sabrina took that as a sign to bow as well. "I assume the term 'opposites attract' rings true here?" The Sister nodded. "Nwura, a college of ours has been taken by the manifestation of our personal evils. He is now-" A groan came from the rocks. The hand that had been showing through moved, clearing the rocks above Marcus. He forced himself out from under the rocks. This was the first time that Marcus ever looked truly hurt. His face was bleeding, staining his white and blue fur with crimson stripes. He looked like he had been beaten senseless several times. "Not while I'm still-" He was cut short when a pebble hit him in the head. Sabrina laughed hysterically. Marcus' face showed sudden pain. The Sister got an idea. "Nwura, play the most uplifting song you've ever heard." Marcus had an expression of horror stamped on his face.

[The Shadow of Death]

[Castle of Peace]

(uplifting.... none come to mind...)

"it will be more effective if i take it to the source."

Nwura looked to Marcus, invading his mind, an uplifting song played only by the first eternals bellowed through his mind.

[Marcus McCloud]

(*Rolls eyes* 'If you want something done...')

[Castle of Peace; Marcus (possessed), Sabrina, Sister, Adam, Nwura]

Marcus fell to his knees with the expression on his face that he was being burned at the stake. "Please.... stop it!" He tried to cover his ears, but it was to no avail. Marcus fought the Id's control as the Id weakened. Fires sprouted around him, lasting only seconds. Suddenly, Marcus burst into flames. The flames were seduced quickly and the voices clashed. "You won't succe- Try me! I've- got more strength than you. Time to end this!" In an unearthly scream, the Id was forced back into it's prison. Marcus collapsed onto the floor. Sabrina ran to him, laid him on her knee and held him. He woke up with a start. "That was one of the most uncomfortable moments in my life." Sabrina giggled and kissed him. "That was one of the most comfortable moments-" He was rudely interrupted by a second kiss. Marcus cared that he was interrupted for a half second.

[4leafclover]

[Whopiv Castle]
"you know, the ring..." Haplon stepped aside, giving them view of the throne. The Count looked like an aged Haplon.

(whopiv Castle)
Aaron perked up, looking in his random loot bag, frantically sifting through the boxes, he pulled out an ornate silver box, presenting it to the Count, "here you are demon lord, a start to a nice alliance" Lucky said as Aaron handed him the box

[The Shadow of Death]

(4leaf: hes a vampire not a demon, wrong territory)
[Whopiv Castle]
the box was slammed out of Aarons hands by something invisible. deep whiffing could be heard off to the side as the box then tossed itself to the Count.

[Castle of Peace]
Nwura stepped forward, placing a hand on Marcus as he began to glow. his wounds healed completely, even broken bones, with no pain.

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Arena]
i dodge the attack effortlessly as the udødelig melt down over my skeletal hand, which i then use to aim a punch at you elbow on your sword arm.

[Wolf]

[Talvas Ruins]

The wolf keeps and eye on his company as he begins searching for someone elses whereabouts. Intently he listens to the chaos far beyond.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Actoritas Arena: Adrian,tsod]

Adrian goes prone to dodge the attack, redirects his weight on his hands, and swings a leg out at tsod's legs.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Talvas Ruins]

A raven is perched on a destroyed building, cawing softly in the cool, silent air. It swiftly takes flight, landing on another ruined building to watch something that caught its eye, a lone wolf pawing about the grounds. It caws out a few more times, then takes flight again, landing on another building closer to it.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Ghost, Zeke]

"Alright! Let's go! I haven't gone there in a good week. So saddle up, let's go," He starts to walk away, but walks back and grabs a glass. " Hold on," He fills it up behind the counter with a tan liquid. "I'm gonna need a beer."

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Arena]
as you swing a leg out i kick it with the udødelig coated foot.

[Fuzz]

Rai stands up, completely and immediately comfortable with the new body. "So, are you going to come over here? Or look at me from afar. I know you're not a regular wolf." He said, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it off a flame produced from his thumb.

[Marcus McCloud]

[Castle of Peace]
Nwura stepped forward, placing a hand on Marcus as he began to glow. his wounds healed completely, even broken bones, with no pain.

[Castle of Peace; Marcus (possessed), Sabrina, Sister, Adam, Nwura]

Marcus was expecting sharp pain as his bones snapped back together, so he was surprised when there was no pain. Sabrina nuzzled him, making him feel welcome again. Marcus stood up, making a short yet respective bow to her. "Thank you for saving my life." The Sister took him to the side. "She's the goddess of our fate. She deserves a better bow then that." "I'm a free willed creature. I still have a few rights. One of them is honor. Unless I lose honor, I may bow as an equal." The Sister did not have a comeback and released Marcus.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Talvas Ruins: Rei, wolf]

The raven turns its head, its blabk, beady eyes staring at Rei from afar. The raven takes flight, taking a perch a little higher in order to see them both.

[The Shadow of Death]

[Castle of Peace] Nwura turns to the sister, "it is fine, do not worry about such matters. we need to get that thing out before it destroys him."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

((And yet again I was forgotten))

[Wolf]

The wolf smiled lightly. As he approached he stood on his hinds and slowly transformed into his human form, tugging on a leather jacket that appeard from nowhere. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a pack of cowboy killers. "Mind if I get a light?" he said with a light southern drawl.

[Fuzz]

Rai touched his cigarette to yours and took a long draw on it, causing the red's to go hot, then leaned back away. "So, what brings someone like you to a shit hole like this? Or are you just wandering like I was."

[DrNumaNuma]

((And yet again I was forgotten))

((Apologies, my psychic uplink to the internet has dulled over the last 10 seconds))

[Talvas ruins: Rei, wolf]

The raven takes off, gaining hight and flying east towards a new destination.


[Quaw: Ghost, Zeke]

"So, people don't come to this rock without a good reason. What's yours?" He takes a draft from his glass and sighs contently.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]

"Meh, my enemies opened a portal and sent me into what they thought was the sun but ohhh they were wrong. I'm think that some of them are around somewhere on this world. And when I find them they'll pray they were never born."

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Ghost, Zeke]

"It's best if you get some allies, even if they're less than desirable. The enemy of your enemy could be your friend, even if they're hiding under rocks."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]

"Well who around here can I ally myself with?"

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Zeke, Ghost]

"Well, I know everybody and you can decide for yourself who to ask. I can give you information on all the major players here, but it's going to cost ya."

[Wolf]

He too took a good drag. "Was "invited" by a friend. Seems we got separated." He held his hand out. "Name's Ben."

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]

"How much exactly?"

[Fuzz]

Rai held out his hand after taking a long pull off it, then looked away to exhale. "Names Rai, kinda New around here myself, so to speak."

[The Shadow of Death]

(its your turn in the arena doc)

[DrNumaNuma]

((I usually have only a small window to be on any day, and my computer's giving me trouble for it))

[Quaw: Ghost, Zeke]

"I deal in information. If you can tell me something juicy and interesting, I'll tell you what you need to know.




[Arcturitas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

When the leg connected, Adrian wrapped his own around it and kicked tsod in the pelvis with his other to crack the bone.

[The Shadow of Death]

(understandable. my psp crashed about ten min ago... first time in a while)

[Auctoritas Arena]
i disappear, throwing a punch from the Shadow Realm.

[DrNumaNuma]

((From what direction?))

[The Shadow of Death]

(i dont know... up?)

[DrNumaNuma]

[Actoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

Adrian flips backwards and onto his feet before twirling the Katzbalger and thrusting it forward to meet his attack.

[Wolf]

Ben took his hand and shook it. "So Rai, how about we go see what everyone else is up to?" Ben's ear flickers. "Sounds like a nice fight over that way." He thumbs over his right shoulder.

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Castle]
your attack meets air as i had already retracted into the Shadow Realm. several small portals open around you as a flurry of punches come through at various points at the speed of light.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

As the onslaught commences, one of the punches strikes the scabbard on Adrian's back. As the connection is made, energy bursts forth from the blade held within in all directions and shatters the bones of the hands. Adrian soon recovers from the first few punches that landed on his person, bruises yellowing before filling in with color. "I guess he doesn't like you more than I thought."

[The Shadow of Death]

(how can you shatter the bones if they are covered with metal? much less the udødelig...)

[DrNumaNuma]

((Energy passes through matter. Even if it's the udodelig, it's still solid and conducts kinetic energy through punches. If it didn't, your punches wouldn't hurt Adrian at all. Simple physics))

[The Shadow of Death]

(ahh... my bones cant shatter though... theyre shatter proof thanks to the Shadow Realm.)

[Wolf]

((again... you two are immortal. so what's the point of sparring with effects like this?))

[DrNumaNuma]

((I know I can't kill him in this thread. I'm not trying to. We both stated that this is only a spar.))

((Tsod, like I told you before, if nothing ever happens, then nothing is interesting. If you can't even so much as fake or heal a wound, then there's no point to continue. Adrian is unkillable for a reason, BUT HE CAN STILL BE HURT. So can you. I gave Adrian a fatal flaw in his powers, as I did for all my characters. Stop being a damn spoilsport for everyone and work for it instead of godmodding everything to death))))

[The Shadow of Death]

(its the whole point, one, hard to find a descent fight at these power levels, and two to learn the other character better, after all Adrian is pretty new)

[The Shadow of Death]

(^that was to wolf.)

the bones mend almost immediately as the onslaught resumes, dodging the scabbard.

[Wolf]

((Yalls RP.))

[The Shadow of Death]

(well, hope your end picks up soon...)

[Wolf]

((me too))

(4leaf: hes a vampire not a demon, wrong territory)
[Whopiv Castle]
the box was slammed out of Aarons hands by something invisible. deep whiffing could be heard off to the side as the box then tossed itself to the Count.

[Castle of Peace]
Nwura stepped forward, placing a hand on Marcus as he began to glow. his wounds healed completely, even broken bones, with no pain.

Aaron jumped a bit as Lucky stepped forward "well then, were friends now right?" he asked with a toothy smile "if you dont mind, may i ask some questions?"

[The Shadow of Death]

[Whopiv Castle]
the count looked at Lucky, laughing slightly, "friends? you really are stupid! now you are my prisoner! we eat your kind around here!" Haplon stepped forward as the room sealed itself off, "hope you enjoy your stay!" a trapdoor 10 ft square opens beneath the three of you...

[4leafclover]

Lucky and Aaron looked a bit suprised, Aaron fell into the hole as Lucky fired a grappling hook from his top hat to the cealing, Darko just swung his staff, letting winds hold him up "Dammit, its hard to save them if we end up killing them" Lucky said as Darko readied his staff "verdict?" he asked Lucky as he sighed "destroy" Lucky replied, Darko's staff glew as Lucky pulled out 2 claws, dropping down the hole to get Aaron, Darko smirked looking around the room "idiots..."

[The Shadow of Death]

[Whopiv Castle]
Haplon looked at Darko, "Attack..."

the invisible hell hounds leapt foward from all sides.

in the hole, spears shot out of the walls, separating Lucky from Aaron as more shot out under Aaron.

[4leafclover]

Darko quickly swung his staff around like a hammer toss, he went in a full 360, stopping perfectly as the area his staff was turned purple "Gravity...." the purple area turned intense, the floor started buckling and everything was tethered to the ground "bomb!" a force of sorts shot out as most of the ground crushed under a tremendous weight, the invisible dogs were pulled and dropped to the ground by the attack

Aaron tried to get a bit steady, standing on foot on a spear, keeping and awkward balance, Lucky just looked at the spears, pulling out a chainblade from his hat, he swung it around, cutting down the spears

[The Shadow of Death]

metal spears started shooting out to stop Lucky while more shot out for a kill shot on Aaron.

Haplon stood before Darko, "impressive."

he then started to morph violently, showing his true form, as i take the place of Haplon i hold out a hand, a green ball of electricity forming, "anti gravity." the ball shot forward, engulfing Darko. another ball of green lightning appears in my hand, "anti matter." a large ball of antimatter forms, contained in my hand.


a deep rumbling is heard from the bottom of the

[The Shadow of Death]

hole, a blue light building.

[4leafclover]

Aaron's eyes grew wide, he quickly clapped his hands "Hour of power: All be still!" at that moment, Aaron grew a small pair of devil wings...from his head, a clock was heard slowing down on its ticking before stopping completely, all time had stopped within Aaron's vicinity, including Lucky and the spears, he hopped off his small perch on the spear, shimmied his way through the metal bars, grabbed Lucky and started flying up slowly with the wings.

Darko cursed under his breath, he just floated a bit without anything to hold him down, he didnt mind however, instead opting to point his staff at Haplon, "Drachma Cannon" his hand glew as he ran it over the staff turning it into a large gun with a harpoon sticking out, he fired it at Haplon, not caring for any knockback he received,

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

Adrian falls back, grabs the hilt of the katzbalger and takes a stance away from tsod and holds his ground. "Are you going to do some actual fighting?"

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Castle]
"I am but a shadow, what did you expect." your shadow shifts, walking away from you on the ground, throwing the Katzbalger up and catching it.

[Whopiv]
(haplon was a shape shifted tsod...)
"have it your way." the antimatter exploded as a antimatter beam shot up from the hole as well. (basically, everything just went to hell... and the room closed itself off earlier.)

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas castle: tsod, Adrian]

"Well, if you want to make this fight difficult then..." Adrian chases after the shadow and reaches for the katzbalger.

[The Shadow of Death]

(the whole thing is a shadow, weapon included)

[Auctoritas Castle]

the shadow swings the shadow of the Katzbalger, nearly slicing your hand.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]
"Well I don't really have any important information to trade. I got some kick-ass weed though. I can get you one of the girls from my planet or something."

[The Shadow of Death]

(if you dont mind me asking, why?)

[MonsterGirlLuver]

((I don't know. I'm just not showing an interest. Maybe the lack of comedy. I don't know. Other RPs getting my attention more))

[The Shadow of Death]

(comedy? we dont really have a lot of that here, its more serious... but comedy is something that is needed, i thought you might be able to bring that. Doc was trying to take care of you, and hes on 4x more than i am, easily.)

[MonsterGirlLuver]

((Alright I'll give it another shot.))

[The Shadow of Death]

(honestly i have two tsods on the map, and Nwura is in a part with Marcus, and Adam... the only two ways for me to be more involved in your piece is to introduce a new character... or put another tsod with you... then again, you could stick with Doc.)

[DrNumaNuma]

(the whole thing is a shadow, weapon included)

((Okay, I thought you meant it took the sword))

((As for you monster, there's only so much I can do, but you're with Ghost for crying out loud. He asked if you were a tranny, wanted to show you a corpse, spiked you're food and invited you to a whorehouse. What else can i do? But if it's fights you want, stick with the thread; all hell's going to break lose soon))

[Auctoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

Adrian gasped as blood squirted from the severed artery, but like it suddenly became viscous and cohesive, it clung to his arm like a vice and oozed its way back into the veins. After his blood entered his body, the cut resealed. He flexed his sword arm. "PrasphuraNa," the sword burt with white light and he slashed at the shadow.

[Wolf]

((hey hey hey, no hell loosening without me plz. gimme a sec and i can show up wherever))

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Ghost, Zeke]

"That only buys you some advice. If you do take sides with Ana, you make an enemy of every other heavy hitter on the planet. Admittedly, she and her group have held their own and are wily little bastards, but if you aren't a tricksy hobbit like them, you're ass will be handed on a silver platter. Her boss is also a megalomaniac and will likely want you to serve him. If you can't take your pride and shove it, he won't take it well. You'll meet him soon if you stick with Anastasia; he's doing something big, otherwise he'd be here throwing his weight around. Where's my weed?"

[Fuzz]

"Guess so, haven't fought much in this body." Smirks widely.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]
"So what you're telling me is that Ana is not the best person to go along with, right? Is there someone around here that'll help me get back to my planet?" I pull out a bag of carefully, and profesionally, made blunts. I hand one to ghost and say "I mostly smoke this before or after a battle. It'll actually increase your senses and ease your muscles. I smoke it after a battle so that way I calm down and don't go on a psychotic murderous rampage. Sometimes if I don't have any on me I just shoot myself in the skull and I calm down."

[4leafclover]

[Auctoritas Castle]
"I am but a shadow, what did you expect." your shadow shifts, walking away from you on the ground, throwing the Katzbalger up and catching it.

[Whopiv]
(haplon was a shape shifted tsod...)
"have it your way." the antimatter exploded as a antimatter beam shot up from the hole as well. (basically, everything just went to hell... and the room closed itself off earlier.)

Aaron reached the top, he was about to steal the bricks to get out but was cut short when he saw the beam, seeing as how time around him slowed before it stopped, t was climbing up quite fast, he tossed Lucky onto his shoulder before opening up his bag "it exists, its something, therefore, i can steal it" He said to himself as he held it below him, hoping to catch the beam.
Darko, wasnt really so Lucky, he tried to usee his magnet and shield again, before realizing that Anti matter, didnt give a shit about it and it probably want even magic at all.

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Castle] the shadow disappeared, slashing at your back.

[Talvas: Rai, Wolf]

a lone man stumbled as he was trying to run, gasping for breath as he fell face first in the ground. he looked up just seconds later, trying to stand as blood ran down the front of his forehead, "its destroying the other city, run! before it finds you!" as he finished he was about halfway standing as a loud snap is heard. the man collapses, revealing a small girl.

[The Shadow of Death]

[Whopiv]
(poor Darko... and your right, science, not magic... also, aaron can steal the beam, but what of the exploding room? the blast is extremely fast, so it will seem slower, but not all that slow...)

The Count was gone, his throne having disappeared in the wall when the room closed off.

[Marcus McCloud]

[Castle of Peace] Nwura turns to the sister, "it is fine, do not worry about such matters. we need to get that thing out before it destroys him."

[Castle of Peace]

Marcus felt his hands, which were cold. "You can get it out, but you can't kill it. It is the manifestation of every man, woman and child's evil side on Zyarc. I don't think it existed until life was common, and it wasn't strong until that life became dominant on this planet." Sabrina stepped up. "We believe that The Id started this whole thing. We believe that the Id called us here to sap our strength and become dominant over every dimension." She touched Marcus' hand for reassurance and found them cold. She rubbed them. They quickly became better and the conversation resumed."

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Ghost, Zeke]
Ghost smacks Zeke on the back and takes the blunt. "I like ya, you blue freak. I think we might kill each other if we stay together to long, though. What I'm saying is that in order to stay with Ana, you have to believe she and her group can outwit their enemies. If you don't start packing."

He looks around, "Now where's that brothel?"

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

When the shadow hits the scabbards on his back, another burst of energy erupted from the swords, destroying the shadow with its brilliance. Adrian turns his attention to tsod and swipes low.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]

"Youre the one who lives here you tell me. How bout we follow the large breasted women with their cleavage hanging out."

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Ghost, Zeke]

"You're dealing with assholes either way. It's your call. Ah! There it is!" He points to a chapel a block away.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]
"......Isn't that a chapel?"

[Fuzz]

[Ruins: Rai, Wolf, ???]

Rai looked quizzically at the man that was yammering and showed no immediate response when he was apparently killed. After the little girl came into view he took his cigarette and flicked it off handedly on the ground before addressing the young child. "Little girls shouldn't be around places like this."

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw: Zeke, Ghost]

"Yes it is. It was converted into a brothel after the quakes. Natch. Come on! Let's go," He slips a bag of coins to the grunts at the front gate and enters.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]

I follow behind and look around.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw, Brothel: Zeke, Ghost]

The chapel was very large. The pews were stationed in 10 by 15 across the chapel, but now each pew was walled up in a box to conceal what was happening within. A busty hostess confronted the pair of them and bowed. "Welcome back Ghost! And you've brought a friend." She eyes Zeke from top to bottom and licks her lips.

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw, Brothel]
I gave a bow and said cooly "Good evening miss."

[The Shadow of Death]

[Auctoritas Castle]

i shove one of the udødelig into the ground, blocking the sweep as i use the other blade in a downward diagonal slice, aiming between the shoulder and the neck.

[Castle of Peace]
"Shadow sent the call... we created this planet, as well as the life here. we received a... distress call i guess would be the best way to explain it. The Id as you have dubbed it may have put extra strain on the planet to call us, to call you... but then it would have to know we created it... and how we

[The Shadow of Death]

would react..."

[Talvas]
the little girl looked to Rai, her voice projecting with a deep masculine resonation over the sweet innocent voice, "you dont belong here Wanderer, leave now while you still can."

[DrNumaNuma]

[Quaw, Brothel: Zeke, Ghost]

"We have a wide variety at your disposal. For a price of course," she turns around and waves Zeke in the direction she starts walking, shaking her ass a little as she walks. Meanwhile, Ghost is looking out a window south towards the sea. He smiles and whispers, "And here we go."

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena: tsod, Adrian]

Adrian puts a foot on the udogelig and spings backwards off it to avoid the slice. "I suppose he is getting a little agitated." Adrian shealths the Katzbalger and draws the pair of crystal swords on his back. The blue glyphs cracked into the black swords seemed to glow briefly with energy, awaiting to be used. Adrian charged, swingly one high and one low.

[DrNumaNuma]

[Niquk airspace]

Stratus clouds had gathered over the relatively peaceful underwater city, by Zyarc's standards. The air was alive with energy, a pressure on the very air filled with brine and marine life. Breakers started forming, creating a tumaultous current and thunderheads formed in the blackening sky. Lightning was hurled from coud to coud in cascades, one right after the other; the very air was brimming with power.

And then it all fell silent.

BOOM!!!!

A supernova of energy burst, heralding something else coming from the heavens. A giant landmass, easily 10 miles in diameter, gently and steadily descending. As suddenly as it appeared, it stopped, settling itself just above the clouds and hide the underwater city in darkness.



[Nara, Throne Room]

A skeletal figure sat on a crumbling throne, one hand casually supporting his head. It's yellow eyes glowed dimmly in the lantern lit room. "Come to me, heroes. I will show you battle, in all it's glory... and all it's horror."

[DrNumaNuma]

((I plagarize far too much))

[MonsterGirlLuver]

[Quaw]
I look at her ass and smile. I walk a little faster and my hand just so happens to brush against her ass.

[Fuzz]

[Ruins]

"Hey, that's funny, I don't remember telling you where to be creepy, so you don't tell me where to wander." I turned to Wolf to see if he was paying attention.

[Wolf]

[Talvas: Wolf, Rai]

Ben, returned to wolf form, had already circled behind the girl just off to her left side where he waited. Inside he was grinning of the thought of some form of a fight. "Don't take this lightly Rai."

[The Shadow of Death]

[Talvas: Rai, Wolf]
the girl chuckled as a building that was still standing exploded towards Rai and the trees around Wolf burst outward, turning into metal shrapnal in a 720 degree field around wolf(half sphere).

[Auctoritas Arena]
"ah, finally. pulling out the Harbinger, long time no see... friend" the last word was emphasized.

[4leafclover]

[Whopiv]
(poor Darko... and your right, science, not magic... also, aaron can steal the beam, but what of the exploding room? the blast is extremely fast, so it will seem slower, but not all that slow...)

The Count was gone, his throne having disappeared in the wall when the room closed off.

Aaron panicked a bit, he quickly stole the bricks in the room, he got closer to Darko, minimizing most of the power from the blast of the explosion aimed at him, trapped, his time magic wearing off bit by bit, Aaron decided to pull out a deus ex machina and hid himself and the other inside Lucky's top hat, the room exploded, engulfing the hat and all, the 3 didnt perish at all and the hat was merely just another hat that had magic on it. Where did the 3 go though?

[The Shadow of Death]

(nice save, your move.)

[DrNumaNuma]

[Auctoritas Arena]
"Oh? You know him better then I thought if you recognize his power."

((I still attacked you))

[The Shadow of Death]

(sorry doc, missed that sentence.)

[Auctoritas Arena]

I vanish from range, appearing behind you.

"yeah... i wasnt aware he was still in the universe after i kicked his ass last time. his power has grown... probably drawing power from you."(im going into random mode... no prediscussed path on this one)

i throw one of the udødelig at you as i form antimatter in the now empty hand.

[Fuzz]

[Talvas ruins: Creepy girl, Wolf, Rai]

Rai smirked and held out a hand, his red eyes glowing blue briefly as a burst of plasma shot out from his hand, blowing a hole right through the building and turning most of it to shrapnel. "You insult me."
