Minutes to an hour later when Kurai had found the signatures she had been searching for, she snapped out of meditation and glanced back to her two captives. Raising her left hand, she snapped her fingers, a leather-bound chair materializing onto the floor beside her. When she had taken her seat, Kurai continued to stare at them. Her golden eyes glowing with malice.
"So I've taken your ship, your freedom, and made your virus my bitch. Now what else can I do...?" Kurai cocked her head and laughed. "Any suggestions?"
-
Gaserlake put his head up toward Kurai. "Why not all technology and every single living thing in the dimensional plane? That's what the Virus wants. Oh, and by the way, it's not our virus, hence the name 'Garelang Virus', not 'Aralang Virus'."
-
Propping her elbow up on the arm of her chair, Kurai leaned her head into her hand, her eyes still trained on the two. "But that's no fun. Eventually one would run out of people. Then what? No one left to kill or infect." Kurai frowned. "No, it has to be something that can continue on, something to make people suffer. To make them cry out for eternity!" Flames danced in her eyes as Kurai proclaimed her inner thoughts and cackled.
"If no ones left to remember it. It's not a legacy. That's one point subtracted." The whip in Kurai's hand suddenly changed its shape to that of a teachers pointer and writing made from magic in the shape of tally marks appeared in the air. On Kurai's side, there were already three marks for the things she had done. On the other side, however, there were five. Kurai proceeded to take the point and cross one out. "Lose too many and you'll die right now."
Kurai lowered the pointer. "Next question." She smirked. "Why aren't you infected?"
-
"Well, seeing that it's your bitch, then I guess it would do what you tell it to do. Now, here's something. You are the ONLY person that the Virus has EVER obeyed," Gaserlake pointed out.
He grinned at her question. "Why? The Virus would know the answer to the question."
-
"Bad doggie. I said to answer or you lose a point." Kurai crossed out another tally mark. After that, however, she looked a bit confused. "Alright, You heard him." Kurai snapped her fingers and declared telepathically out loud, the question directed at the virus, "Why? To both of those questions. "
Kurai rolled her eyes afterwards and looked back at Gaserlake. "And what's with doggie number two? One point deducted for staying too quiet. Start talking doggies." Kurai marked out another point with her toe before laying back in her chair.
-
"You saved me from destruction. I was never in such a desperate situation. I thought I was doing to die, until you came along and saved me. I owe you because of this. As for why I can't infect him, he has Elite Energy. It's the most sophisticated immune system you can get. Even I can't beat it. It also boosts them in strength and healing. It's what makes the very few Aralangs of their race so unique. I need Elite Energy in order to infect them. All I need is a sample from them, such as hair or blood. It would contain Elite Energy, as long as it doesn't break down with the sample."
Leserlake looked at Kurai. "About what?" he said in a slightly angry tone.
"Woof woof," Gaserlake said in a very sarcastic tone.
-
Kurai shrugged. "I really don't care. Just talk. Both of you. Talk or die. The only way you're going to be able to stall."
With that, Kurai replied to the virus. "Then if that's all you need. Take it already. It can't be that damn hard. What? Do I have to hold your hand through it." Kurai growled then looked back at the two. "Oh! And one other thing. My better half. I know you control her and have ways of finding out. Tell me her exact location. Now.."
-
"Let's talk about sex," Gaserlake said with amusement.
Leserlake laughed and shook his head. "Yeah, sure. The only thing that will keep us going."
One infected Aralang came, and shot at Gaserlake through the head. Parts of the brain fell out, to outside the ring of fire. Gaserlake's wound healed up. The infected Aralang came, picked up one piece of Gaserlake's brain and infected it, causing the Elite Energy to adjust its compatibility with it, making it compatible with the Virus. The new version of the Virus then spread throughout the titan. "Alright, I've got the Elite Energy," the Virus telepathically told Kurai.
Gaserlake and Leserlake knew what the Virus was doing. Leserlake was surprised a bit that the shot came out of nowhere. Gaserlake hardly reacted.
"What you gonna do to Hikaru?" Gaserlake asked.
-
Kurai's amusement quickly faded with his response.
"Summon her. Do everything against her that I possibly can, and then kill her. That would be obvious if you knew what a Negi was. But of course." Kurai stood up and walked to to just a few inches in front of them. "You're not of the magic kind to know. Now.. I ask again. Where is she? I normally wouldn't be asking. But the bitch has gone and found a way to completely do away with her magic signature on all magic cast by her."
To the virus only, Kurai sent telepathically,"When I give the signal, infect the smart-ass one. Leave the other, but make him watch."
-
Gaserlake telepathically communicated with Hikaru. She was somewhere on the planet, and that's enough. "You have my permission to leave the planet."
"She's in Aralia," he told Kurai.
The infected Aralang stood by.
-
"I already knew that." Kurai made no expression as she snapped her fingers and another mark disappeared, leaving only one in its stead. "Last change. EXACT LOCATION. Give it to me!"
-
Gaserlake scanned Aralia for any mind signatures. He detected two, but he recognized one of them. It was Hikaru. He knew the exact location of Hikaru. "Sending you the exact location of HIkaru." He then relayed the location to Kurai.
-
"Thank you." Kurai spat and turned back around. Glancing to the infected Aralang she gave her right hand a wave. "Go ahead." She said aloud, not caring whether the two heard or not.
-
Naturally, the Virus is invisible to the naked eye, but for Kurai's pleasure, and for Leserlake's horror, it made itself visible. Since the spirit fire is in the way, the soldier put out his arm, and the Virus 'leaped' from the hand to Gaserlake, where infection immediately took place. Gaserlake's body twitched, and apparently, he was losing consciousness as he was undergoing compulsions. "Oh, my God!" Leserlake yelled out in horror as Gaserlake went to his knees and finally flat on the ground as the Virus took over the body completely, as well as Gaserlake's mind.
Leserlake was terrified. He took a step back from the infected body of Gaserlake. He looked over to Kurai. "Wha-what have you done?"
-
Kurai only laughed and snapped her fingers, "Leave him. Then re-infect him. Then leave him again. Oh, and re-infect him. Just keep doing it till I say." She glanced to Leserlake. "Anything about the special forces location that you would like to tell me now?"
-
The Virus exited Gaserlake's body. Gaserlake regained consciousness and control of his body and got back up. The Virus then reinfected him, and the same process went again, except a bit quicker, as Gaserlake was not as strong as he was before the first infection. "NO!" Leserlake yelled.
He turned to Kurai. "WHAT?!" He clenched his fists. He looked back at Gaserlake. He winced as he witnessed his own brother getting re-infected. What was to do? He finally got it. "I'm sorry, brother, but I have to," he said. He knew what to do, but he had to get it over with. Quickly, he grabbed Gaserlake on the ground, and threw him into the spirit fire, finally ending his misery.
-
"So that's how doggies react when cornered... " Kurai mused after the few seconds of surprise she had had passed. Snapping her fingers, the spirit fire faded and instead surrounded Gaserlake, separate from the one that entrapped Leserlake. "Not so fast though, you're not escaping my fun that fast," Kurai frowned and sat back in her chair. "I don't like losing my play things."
Turning her head, Kurai looked back to the infected Aralang and waved her hand again, "Leave him."
-
The EE acted as a shielding or armor for the spirit, making him last longer than normal from spirit fire. When the fire stopped burning him, the EE healed up his spirit. At Kurai's order, the Virus let go control of Gaserlake and leaped back to the infected Aralang. Gaserlake was back on his feet, and Leserlake felt relieved, yet still nervous.
-
Once Kurai was satisfied that he was well alive and could endure more, she smirked. "Now infect the other one."
-
The Virus then leaped from the infected Aralang to Leserlake. Leserlake saw this coming. He flinched and yelled, "NO!" as the virus leaped onto him. The infection process was the same, except this time, the Virus deliberately made the infection process go slower to try to make it more torturous for Gaserlake and more enjoying for Kurai. However, Gaserlake didn't cry or anything of the sort. Instead, he laughed. He laughed manic at the sight of his own brother getting infected by the Virus.
-
"Leave him," Kurai commanded and waited patiently for it to happen. She gave a skeptic stare at Gaserlake, but said nothing.
-
The Virus then left Leserlake's body. Meanwhile, Gaserlake was still laughing hard over the situation.
-
"Now..," Kurai sat up, her fingers laced together in front of her. She awaited the laughing to subside and then began to speak. "Do you understand the predicament you're in? I can have this happen several million times until I bore of it. Then end your life. Or I can end it faster and end your misery. Take your pick. Both of you. Oh, and suicide won't work. I'll be ready for it next time."
After a few seconds, Kurai continued. "Give me the location of the special forces."
-
"Yeah. I totally understand it," Gaserlake said. "Put some of my events together, and you'll get something similar to what's happening right now." Leserlake didn't speak. "It's your choice," Gaserlake said. "The SF are up your ass, but realistically, they're everywhere. May as well send them up your ass, anyway."
-
Kurai gave him a death glare and slammed her fist on her chair, "INFECT HIM!" She ordered, then quickly added, "And you know what? Make it as painful as you possibly can. Bring him to an inch of his life if you must." Kurai's eyes narrowed as she screamed like a spoiled brat, "JUST MAKE HIM SUFFER!"
-
Gaserlake and Leserlake are both standing where the Virus is. Gaser's side of the Virus immediately infected him. This time, it was excruciatingly painful, even for Gaserlake. He laughed at first, but then it turned in to scream of pain and agony. The Virus used the nervous system and made it overreact to pain, and caused a lot of pain alone. The nervous system would then amplify the pain. Of course, Gaserlake was completely conscious when it was happening. Gaserlake couldn't move or do anything about it, except to scream.
The Virus wasn't done. It started to tear apart the body, tearing muscles and breaking bones, dislocating his body parts, and making Gaserlake feel every single bit of it, with the amplified pain. It then made the Elite Energy incompatible. It forced the body to produce Elite Energy that is made specifically for the Virus, not for Gaserlake, but not fast enough to actually kill him or his spirit. It incinerated his body from the inside, and it began to smoke and catch on fire.
Leserlake looked away as tears started to form.
-
Satisfied, Kurai quickly calmed down as she watched the horror show that was happening, "Now heal him, leave him, then do it again. Keep doing that until the other one talks."
-
The Virus did as it was told. It healed Gaserlake, exited the body, then reinfected him, doing the whole process again. It repeated the same over and over. Leserlake was led to sitting down in a fetal position, rocking back and forth crying, desperately trying to figure out what to do as he heard Gaserlake's helpless screams. He blocked his hears to try to block out the screaming.
-
When Kurai realized that Leserlake still wasn't talking she snapped her fingers and used magic to amplify the sound within the ship. Any sounds would then be amplified to their loudest. "Ready to talk yet?" She questioned.
-
"No, no, NO!" Leserlake screamed. He was at his breaking point. This forced his brain to switch to acting like a machine. Leserlake instantly calmed down. He then stood up and simply said, "No."
-
"Very well.." Kurai looked bored. Bringing her hand up she snapped her fingers once again. "Find a solitary room in this ship. Make them naked, and make them stay that way. Infect them partly if you have to. I will be there shortly."
-
Gaserlake and Leserlake were then sent to the brig of the infected Sajuuk, in the same cell. The Virus then infected them, and stopped Elite Energy from reproducing clothes. The Virus then beamed the clothes off of them.
-
Kurai came up behind them all and stood inside the cell, slamming the door behind her. "Open hologram transmission to every Aralang planet, dimension and location you can. I want them ALL to witness this," she ordered. "And if there's some you can't. Show it by magical hologram. In the sky even. Big enough for all to see!"
-
The Virus used all the Aralang planets, dimensions, an locations that it knows from its knowledge of the past and the knowledge gained from infected Aralangs. Portals were at each Aralang location, dimension, and planets, but just large enough for the hologram to go through, which would be incredibly small. Since Aralang technology's being used, it even went passed the Saraton Energy Barriers. The holographs are shown up huge and high quality (Better than 1080p, btw. :P).
-
When that one was done, Kurai wailed to in front of the two, spirit fire alighting around her so if she was attacked they would die instead. Glancing upwards, she smiled a vampiric-like grin, "Greetings Inferiors. I Kurai Tyris, Negi of Hikaru Tyris of the Sage Three, the three most powerful magic users on the dimensional plane, have captured your ship and your pathetic excuses for leaders. You will not be getting your dogs back until I have the location of the special forces. And even then, my pet here will probably have its way with them in the end. You can all thank my better half, Hikaru for this. Isn't that right Hikaru? I'm killing your enemies, just as we discussed. Just as our master plan called for."
Kurai smirked, then snapped her fingers. "Infect them both, painfully as possible, down to the inch of their life. Make it as slow as possible for our viewers."
-
The Virus did the same procedure as it did to Gaserlake to cause excruciating pain, except it's doing it to both, and that it's taking it slower. The Virus canceled out Leserlake's machine-like personality. They both screamed in pain and agony. This time, the Virus tried something new. It used the brain, and caused illusions of pain, and made the brain think of pain a hell of a great deal more than it is, further augmenting the effects. This made the pain unbearable. They both begged to stop the pain.
The Aralangs wondered what the hell Hikaru did this time.
-
"And now my turn," Kurai catwalked towards the two. "Heal them, but keep them paralyzed."
-
The Virus stopped and healed the two, and then it paralyzed the two, keeping them from moving.
-
"Excellent." Kurai moved forward, one foot in the other till she was above the both of them.
After that you can assume what happened next.
...Several minutes to an hour later, Kurai stood up and looked back upwards, "And that's what happens to those that cross both me and my better half."
-
It was indeed rape. Gaserlake and Leserlake did not enjoy it. The didn't want sex. The never wanted sex, and they never will want sex. They were very disgusted, as well as humiliated and embarrassed.
-
And Kurai went for a second round.
-
Gaserlake and Leserlake had the same reactions, except a bit more strongly. "Will you stop that?" Leserlake cried out.
-
"Very well," Kurai stepped back. "You know. I've never seen Twincest before." Kurai snapped her fingers, "Make them do it."
-
The Virus then forced the two to commit twincest.
-
"Good boy." Kurai clapped. "Now end the transmission and give them back their dignity. For now."
-
The clothes were beamed back onto Leserlake and Gaserlake. The Virus then let Elite Energy go back to full operation.
"You fucking bitch," Gaserlake said. "You're not going to seduce us, if you're thinking we'll ever be seduced."
-
"Seduce? No, no." Kurai cocked her head again. "Just humiliate you in every way possible. Ready to talk yet?"
-
"Nope," Gaserlake simply said.
-
Kurai frowned, "Fine. Bring them back to the other room."
-
The Virus beamed them back to the other room.
-
"Now leave them both," Kurai commanded when she was back in the other room as well. "Give them a break. That way it'll be worse next round." Kurai then re-took her seat.
-
The VIrus exited Gaserlake and Leserlake, giving their body and mind back. They sat down, but didn't say a word.
-
Kurai merely laughed and materialized herself another glass of blood while she waited.
-
"So, why should we tell you, if you're going to kill us anyway?" Leserlake asked, a bit nervous after thinking what might happen to them.
-
Kurai laughed, "Because if you don't tell me, I can make your deaths either as painful as possible as well as long as possible. Or even let you stay infected. But if you tell me, you'll just die quick. I said this once. Take your pick."
-
"I know you want the location of the Special Forces if I pick the quick way to die... so I guess it's the slow way, then," Gaserlake said. Leserlake shuddered at that thought.
-
"Your choice." Kurai gave the signal, "Infect them, make them feel pain worse than before, make them afraid. Oh, and change whatever makes that one laugh. You don't laugh at pain. You fear it."
-
The Virus did the same as before, except this time, it filled their minds with fear. Fear of pain, and fear that it can get a lot worse, and a lot of other things to fear about the tortures. It then tried to diagnose what made Gaserlake laugh, but with no accomplishment. "We don't know what's wrong with Gaserlake," the infected Aralang telepathically said to Kurai. "His brain is perfectly normal. There's no mental disability whatsoever."
-
Kurai blinked, "Nothing at all? Well fine, just keep torturing them like that. The'll talk eventually."
-
The Virus continued to torture them for an hour. "Alright, alright!" Leserlake managed to scream over his pain and agony. "I'll talk! I'll tell you! I'll tell you where the Special Forces are!"
-
Kurai raised her hand, "Stop," she ordered. "Leave them both."
-
The Virus stopped and left the bodies. Leserlake telepathically gave Kurai the coordinates of the Special Forces Dimension. "That is the location of the main base of operations for the Special Forces," Leserlake said.
-
"And how do I know you're not lying?" Kurai asked.
-
"We're sure enough to let you forget about us while we're tortured this way for as long as we live!" Gaserlake spoke. "We're that sure of the location!"
"Please!" Leserlake pleaded. "I just can't take anymore of the pain!"
"I would suggest sending someone or something to the location to investigate," Gaserlake advised. "Sending yourself is very dangerous!"
-
Kurai smirked, "Good doggies. For that you get a break. Then it's back to torture."
-
"Oh, no no no! Please no more tortures!" Leserlake begged. "No more! Please!"
-
"Oh too bad," Kurai mused. "I lied."
-
"No! Please! I beg of you!" Leserlake said as he cried.
-
"No." Kurai merely answered and commanded the virus. "I think not. Repeat the process."
-
"What? No!" Leserlake yelled, waiting for the torture to begin.
The Virus was just about to infect the two, until Gaserlake and Leserlake suddenly disappeared without a trace.
-
Kurai stared speechless for two seconds before screaming out in rage, her voice echoing throughout the whole titan. When at last her surprise had subsided, she stood up and glared over to the infected Aralang, "WHERE ARE THEY?!
-
"I don't know!" the infected Aralang said. "We were about to infect them, and they just simply vanished!"
-
Kurai growled, "YOU DID SOMETHING! Are you positive you have full control over those fools?" She stared crazily at the infected Aralangs, her mind racing with thoughts that they somehow fought the infection and were working against her. It seemed not even the virus could be trusted. "Destroy their minds!"
-
"Yes, we have control over them," the infected Aralang said. "Unfortunately, for some reason, we're not able to destroy all of their minds. So, there is always going to be a chance that they might break free, but I will destroy as much as I can." The Virus then destroyed as much of the minds of the infected as possible. "I've destroyed as much as I could," the infected Aralang finally said.
-
Kurai looked enraged but quickly calmed down, "Oh? So they can break free huh?" Her grin widened as she directed Spirit Fire to surround the infected Aralang. "Leave that one." Kurai crossed her legs and propped her elbows up on her knees with her hands laced together in front of her. "I'd like to see what his opinion on all of this is."
-
"Well, all of them are brain-dead, as I killed most of their minds," the infected Aralang said with no reaction to the spirit fire.
-
"Well then restore it," Kurai merely answered, her eyes already rolling.
-
The Virus then restored the minds by gathering data from the spirit. After all, the mind is merely the interface of the spirit. The Virus then left the Aralang, rendering him uninfected and oblivious to what's going on, except it knows what happened the last time he was conscious. It was infected. This got him scared. He observed his surroundings, very nervous, and found spirit fire all around him. He knew he was trapped, and the blue-white flames weren't a good sign.
-
"Greetings," Kurai smirked as she observed the Aralang from her chair. "I am Kurai Tyris, I believe you've met or know my better half, Hikaru Tyris of the Sage Three?" Kurai pretended to be nice for further effect of scaring the hell out of them.
-
"Y-yes. I know about her and the Sage Three," it said, getting even more scared.
-
"She''s the reason you're here," Kurai laughed, spreading more lies as she went along. "Do as I say and I'll make sure you don't suffer the way your leaders went."
-
"Okay," the Aralang said. "What do you want, and what do you mean, she's the reason?"
-
"She asked me to get revenge on your kind for what you did to her. All those arrests, beacons, and contracts and such. So any fault is hers." Kurai then cackled, "What do I want?" Her eyes shined with malice, "I want to see your fear."
With a snap of her fingers, Kurai glanced to one of the other infected, "Restore his memories . Why doesn't he remember?"
-
"He wasn't conscious when he was infected, so he doesn't remember anything that happened while he was infected. I'll give him my memories, through his him, though, so he'll know what happened," the Virus telepathically told her. The Virus then infected the Aralang, restored the memories, and came back out.
When the Aralang restored his memories, he screamed for a few seconds, before he calmed himself down. Seeing his own leaders tortured was not a pretty sight.
-
"Excellent," Kurai stared at the Aralang and snapped her fingers, the ring of Spirit Fire widening and the rest of the infected Aralangs appearing in the center of it. "Restore their memories and leave them, all of them."
-
The Virus restored their memories and left them, waiting at the ground to reinfect or for any other orders. When the Aralangs got their memories back, they showed similar reactions. Some even yelling, and saying "Oh, my God!".
-
"Now that I have the attention of all of you..." Kurai stood back up and walked over to the edge of the flames. "Your leaders seemed to have just magically disappeared. Only, one little problem," Kurai looked enraged. "YOUR RACE DOESN'T HAVE MAGIC!" Calming herself down, she continued, her temper still up in the highs, "SO WHERE DID THEY GO?!"
-
"We want to be set free!" one Aralang protested. "We're not saying anything until we strike a deal!"
-
Kurai showed her teeth, "Oh I'll set you free," she mused. "After all, I need fodder for my pet here, you'll just be conscious while doing it."
-
"No. I mean free as in letting us go!" the Aralang said.
-
"Oh?" Kurai smiled sweetly. "So you want freedom is it? And you would give information on where your leaders for that freedom? In effect betraying your leaders for your freedom?" Kurai kicked her legs and squealed with delight. "So this is what rats do. Even the most stubborn of rats when faced with death or infection will turn traitor."
-
"Well, you're not getting shit from us!" the Aralang changed his mind.
-
"I can make it painful," Kurai informed him.
-
"Go ahead, then! Try us!" the Aralang insisted.
-
"Your leaders said the same thing," Kurai mused, "And they were reduced to begging and crying. But, have it your way." Kurai snapped her fingers. "Infect the one as painful as possible without killing him. DO NOT let the others end his misery."
-
The Virus surrounded the Aralang in a visible form of a puddle. It expanded greater than the others' jumping distance. Any Aralang that sets foot into the puddle would get infected. The Aralangs instinctively backed away from the puddle. The Virus then infected the Aralang, and did the same procedure as it did to Gaserlake and Leserlake, except for the Elite Energy. The screaming and agony are much easier to cause, as this if just an ordinary Aralang. The surrounding Aralangs were in shock as they watched him get tortured with immense pain.
-
"Stop," Kurai held up her hand and ordered, "And leave him." She glanced around to the other Aralangs watching, "Anyone else want to test me?"
-
The Virus left the body. The Aralang got back up, wimping from the torture.
All of the Aralangs were in silence. Suddenly, they all yelled "NO!", and they charged the spirit fire toward Kurai. They would make ladders and bridges to cross over, some even tried to jump the flames.
-
Kurai looked shocked not expecting that many to rebel, but not as shocked as before as she expected some. Snapping her fingers, Kurai caused the flames to disappear before it could kill even one of them. Then waving that same hand she gave the command, "Infect them. Leave them conscious though."
-
The Virus was in the air all over the titan. It easily infected all of the Aralangss and paralyzed them.
-
"How about now?" Kurai questioned.
-
"NO!" they yelled again.
-
"Oh?" Kurai questioned again. "So you want to be infected for the rest of your measly pathetic lives? Watching yourself infect your brethren, your kin, and the rest of the damn dimension? And playing a hand in making it fall? Because anyone that gets infected after this is keeping their memories an ability to witness it. GOT THAT?" She demanded to the Virus at the end of the picture she painted verbally.
-
All of the Aralang crowd turned silent.
"Understood," the Virus told Kurai.
-
"See? That can and will happen if you don't cooperate," Kurai stated, "Just look at your leaders for a great example. Now..." She sat back down and stared at them all, "Are you willing to play along? I have two brats that need to be retrieved and I don't wish to do it myself."
-
"how will we know that you won't do it to us anyway?" one Aralang asked.
-
"Because!" Kurai squealed, "I need toys. And broken toys are only fun for a while."
-
"Bullshit!" another Aralang yell. "We're not doing it!"
-
"Fine." Kurai look offended, "I'll make one final deal..." She walked around a few of the ones in the front, her steps silent and slow. "I'll let some of you go for one thing, and more of you go for another... First..." Kurai returned to her seat and looked bored, " I know you're in control of my better half, Hikaru Tyris, make her suffer. Make the Special Forces capture her again, I don't care. Just make her life a living Hell. I have to release you to do that anyways, so you know I'll keep my word. BUT, not all of you. The rest will need another deal. So who volunteers?"
-
A portion of the Aralangs decided to volunteer.
"What are the other deals?" another Aralang asked.
-
"I have yet to think of them," Kurai laughed. She snapped her fingers and a ring of Spirit Fire surrounded the portion that volunteered. "Leave that group, and teleport them to their planet."
-
The Virus exited and teleported those who volunteered to Aralia.
-
"If they don't follow through, the rest of you suffer," Kurai stated then happily added, "I know! Let's play a game!"
-
The Aralangs showed confused looks on their faces.
-
Kurai waved her hands and two rings of Spirit Fire were on each side of the room they were on, she then snapped her fingers and half were teleported in one ring, the other half teleported to the other. Around both rings of fire, an even larger ring surrounded. "When I snap my fingers the rings you're in will disperse, at that time, I want you to fight the other group. The group left standing gets to go free."
Kurai then snapped her fingers and the two inner rings disappeared. "Leave them."
-
The Virus exited the Aralangs, who stood back up. When they were told to fight, they grew angry. "You expect us to kill each other?" one of them asked in disbelief.
-
"Of course," Kurai nodded. "That's what any intelligent race does. Survival of the strongest." She snapped her fingers, "So hop to it."
-
"It's in our nature to not kill one another. Unlike humans, for example, we don't kill each other in society," one Aralang said.
-
Kurai looked unamused, "And whereas Sages kill one another all the time. You're no fun." Kurai frowned, "But fine," She snapped her fingers once more and all the Aralangs wound up on one side. On the other side this time around, shadows erupted from the floor taking the form of each and every Aralang on the other side, for every Aralang, there was a shadow copy.
Kurai smiled, "Now, fight." And with that, the shadowed copies attacked.
-
The Aralangs fought back at the shadowed copies. It was a big battle, with billions vs. billions. As the shadowed copies charged forward, the Aralangs fell back, while they went to the sides and started surround the shadowed copies. It's the pincer movement. The shadowed copies found themselves completely surrounded. They were attacked from all sides. This made the shadowed copies panic while the morality of the Aralangs boosted. The battle took quite a while, but eventually, the Aralangs won in the end.
-
"Amusing," Kurai muttered whilst watching. When the shadows were beat, she just snapped her fingers and they disappeared. "But I grow bored of this. Your leaders were much more fun to play with. So whoever tells me WHERE THEY WENT, will go free."
-
All at the same time, the Aralangs said, "FUCK YOU!" They flicked off Kurai with the middle finger, while they put out the thumb, to resemble the loser sign at the same time.
-
Kurai was unphased. By now she was used to them talking back and being disrespectful, this did not detour, oooone bit. "That's not how you get free, "Kurai mused. "How about this, you tell me what I want to know and I'll send another group, of course that group will be infected but dormant. Bring me your leaders, and I'll tell the virus to leave and you'll go free. Fail to do so, and I'll send you to Hell."
-
The Aralangs shook their heads. "Hell no," one of them said.
-
"I'm not going to have you infect your planet," Kurai hastily replied, "Just your leaders. They were much funner toys. After that you go free. Deaaaal?"
-
"How do I know you're not lying?" the Aralang spoke back. "As long as that...thing is in us, anything goes!"
-
"Because as I told your leaders," Kurai looked annoyed, "Unlike people with one track minds, I see it as a stupid mistake to have your planet infected. Eventually you would all be infected, and there wouldn't be anything left to play with. So I don't plan for your planet to be taken over... yet." Kurai raised her finger and the Aralang that spoke was levitated into the air, "After all, military boys are so fun to make mad and mess with."
-
"Hey hey hey!" the Aralang yelled as he was levitated into the air. "We're still not doing it!"
-
"Then why'd you ask if I was lying?" Kurai twirled her finger and spun him around a bit. "Do I sense hidden interest?"
-
"We were just wondering, is all," the Aralang replied.
-
"Well," Kurai raised her arms, the spell on the Aralang released resulting in his fall. "I'm tired, so how about I just have you all re-infected till next time then? Unless of course you changed your mind." Kurai faked a yawn just for effect.
-
The Aralang stood back up with the others. They shuddered at the thought of the Virus infecting them.
-
"Have it your way." Kurai muttered and snapped her fingers, "Re-infect them all but leave them fully conscious and aware. In fact, even let them them have control of themselves. I don't care, just make it fun. However for the ones that decide to rebel and try to play hero, throw them in prison." Kurai then disappeared, all rings of Spirit Fire fading with her leave.
-
The Virus reinfected all of the Aralangs, and remained dormant. Some Aralangs tried to take back the ship by the use of the ship's controls, but they were teleported to the brig before they could. The others were just too scared to rebel.
-
After a while,, Kurai returned, appearing back in her usual chair. "Bring them," She ordered already snapping her fingers in commanding the virus. "I want to see how many still aren't hopeless.
-
The Virus brought the imprisoned Aralangs back.
"Hikaru is in Japae!" the Virus telepathically told Kurai. "She is right now fighting the infection! She came with Inari, her apprentice, who got infected."
-
"Oh really?" Kurai smirked as she answered aloud. Silence and secrecy really weren't her thing unless she needed to manipulate someone, and she honestly didn't give a damn if they heard her or not. "Infect her and then bring her here, leave the idiot."
-
"Acknowledged," the Virus replied.
-
"What's taking so long?" Kurai demanded. Her eyes wondered over to the Aralangs, "Good news, my better half seems to have made a foolish mistake. You'll have a playmate soon." Kurai squealed in delight, "I just love watching enemies play together."
-
"Hikaru is using both Elite Energy and Phoenix Blood to combat our infection. She even used pain to try to focus on fending off the infection. However, she couldn't' go anywhere, as she's trapped in anti- fields. We've numbed her and paralyzed, and use the spirit to control both her mind and her body. We've stopped the Phoenix Blood from combating the Virus. The Elite Energy is the only problem, but I can beat it. So far, we're winning," the Virus said in a deep voice that sounds like it was full of mucus. (If you want to know what it sounds like for someone to use mucus to change their voice, I might be able to demonstrate it to you. It depends if my body cooperates or not. :P)
The Aralangs were surprised. They were shocked when the Virus mentioned Elite Energy. Did Hikaru really have Elite Energy in her?
-
"Pain.." Kurai laughed aloud. "She must be desperate if she went that far. Watch out for the life line spell," Kurai's face went sour at her memorization of losing to it. "Anyways, Elite Energy?" Kurai looked interested. "I thought you said only this idiot race had that?" Kurai motioned her hand to the Aralangs.
-
"Only Elite Aralangs have it. They're not born with it. It's not even natural. Someone must have put Elite Energy into her," the Virus replied.
-
"Not natural? How interesting..." Kurai looked amused. "Then she either didn't know about it or really was brainwashed. Hikaru Tyris, using unnatural means? Not likely. Oh, speak of the devil," Kurai laughed when she saw Hikaru appear in front of her.
Despite being made to teleport, Hikaru STILL did not give up. She kept her thoughts and everything still under her control, though it wasn't much, focused at resisting. She even visualized what it would be like for the Virus if Kurai decided she was bored with it, as well as searched her memories for the exact event from the Guardian Dimension those many years ago when it was Hikaru's attack that let the Virus live. With both things visualized, Hikaru attempted yet again to re-take control.
"Hikaru, Hikaru, Hikaru," Kurai licked her index finger as she spoke, "Don't tell me after all these years of losing to K2323, you actually went and attempted to take over Japae when he was gone. That's not like you. You don't usually attack undefended territories unless you're looking for revenge or planning something... So then..." Kurai looked annoyed at the fact she for once she didn't follow Hikaru's train of thought. "Why where you there?"
Kurai snapped her fingers, "Let her speak."
-
The Virus loosened hold on Hikaru in recognition to the memories, but only just little bit, but just enough for Hikaru to notice, but when Hikaru tried to take back control, the Virus resisted, re-tightening its grip on Hikaru.
At Kurai's command, the Virus let Hikaru speak.
-
Quickly noticing the reaction the Virus had to the memories, Hikaru tried yet again, this time remembering each and every scene of the event more strongly and filling her every thought with the memory. Busy with this, Hikaru refused to answer Kurai and just kept trying.
When Kurai noticed Hikaru wasn't answering, she laughed, "I see. So you assume I'm giving you a choice in the matter. Sorry, but no." Kurai snapped her fingers again and a contract formed, but unlike the blood contracts, this contract held one line to it only, 'I Hikaru Tyris give my soul to Kurai.' "Make her sign it." Kurai snapped, then in a quick after-thought added, "In blood."
-
The Virus got confused, which loosened its grip once again, but at Kurai's command, it tightened control again, and forced her to walk to the contract. Since the Virus doesn't know what to do, the gait would be a bit poor. "...you weren't there for me..." said the Virus told her from the inside of her body, in a sad, yet angry tone of voice. With that, the Virus reassured itself, making the gait return to normal.
-
As soon as she felt herself gain some bit of control, Hikaru knew that the Virus was confused. So it could be bargained with? This helped to make things easier. "I attacked the dimension without knowing you where there," she sent back through thinking the words. "Had I known what you were and what you were capable of, I would have partnered with you back then. But I didn't. Please believe m-."
"Hurry it up!" Kurai snapped, her eyes focused in on the slowed walk of her better half, and she smirked. "Still resisting, Hikaru? Well. You made it farther than the inferiors." Kurai splayed her hand out to the Aralangs. "Maybe I was wrong. Maybe you haven't fallen all the way."
"Search my memories!" Hikaru thought back strongly, "Thanks to those same Guardians that trapped you, the dimension I came from knew nothing of the technological races or their creations. There is no way I would have known what you were."
-
The Virus has already went through her memories, but it went through it one more time for good measure. Of course, it knew everything Hikaru knew, including every single spell in existence. Of course, the Virus inherited the ability to use the spells.
The Virus forced Hikaru to bite her finger as she was forced to the contract. "...you... you were there... right in front of me... alright. Listen very carefully. Act like you're still controlled by me, and I'll release your control. Right before you sign the signature, at the last second, just attack, and I'll help. Oh... and... I'm honored to serve you, mistress." The Virus then slowly released its control on Hikaru.
-
"Thank you."
The moment Hikaru had regained control of herself she continued to follow the Virus's plan. Taking her finger from her mouth she moved it towards the contract,making sure to keep her movements slow. Kurai had to believe she was still infected, and as it stood, Hikaru herself would never give up, this meant she had to keep her movements as slow as possible to show that she was still 'resisting,' one wrong move and Kurai would realize something was wrong
When her finger was barely an inch above the contract, Hikaru quick and suddenly without any warning, dropped her finger to the paper. The second she made contact, violet flames spread across the contract, springing to life and consuming it with god fire, the very symbol of Destruction that both Phoenix's had recently obtained from Koty.
As soon as Kurai saw this she screamed in rage and jumped to her feet but was too late as the god fire had finished with the contract and was now surrounding her in a ring. "WHAT?!" Kurai roared and turned her head briskly to shout at the virus, "I thought you said you had control over her?!"
Negative spirit energy in the shape of tendrils formed around Kurai and snaked snaked themselves down into the god fire, twisting around it and and fighting back.
-
The Virus said nothing, as the Virus inside of Kurai began to infect her. The area around Kurai began to infect her, as well.
"What about the Aralangs?" the Virus asked Hikaru.
The Aralangs were confused at what's happening, then they realized what was going on. Was the Virus really turning on Kurai and joining Hikaru?
-
"Don't infect her..." Hikaru quickly replied. She had her hand out as she directed the flames, which were forming around Kurai in the shape of a crcle with lines. The God Fire forming a spell circle. "Just make it to where she can't use Negative Spirit Energy offensively, any magic I can handle." When asked about the Aralangs, Hikaru paused for a moment, unsure, "And them, uh..-"
"Oh Hikaru dear," Kurai cooed amidst her laughs even despite the fact she was being infected. It didn't matter to her. She was sin. Sin couldn't stay infected for long. "You're on a ship."
Immediately Hikaru tensed up and froze, paralyzed in fear. In her fight with the virus she hadn't really cared to pay attention where she had teleported to. Add that to the fact she hadn't had control of her eyes and senses at the time, Hikaru had no idea where she was. Now as she took in the sights, the realization froze her. It may not have looked like the ship the SF had kept her in before stasis. But it was still a ship, and even then, still technology.
To her horror, Hikaru couldn't move from shock.
-
The Aralangs took advantage of the situation and took over the ship. However, the Virus was still inside the ships and it systems and such, and is ready to take back the ship.
The Virus made it so that Kurai couldn't use Negative Spirit Energy offensively.
"What do you want me to do with the Aralangs and the ship?" the Virus asked Hikaru. It was aware of Hikaru's current state, so it read her mind to find out what she wanted to say.
-
"Ergh.." Hikaru stood frozen, but she could still glance around. In one hand she wanted to get revenge for everything that had happened to her and see them all suffer for it as well as being technological users. But yet, the more she considered that option, the more Hikaru didn't want them dead or infected. Was if influence? Had she been on their planet too long? Hikaru just didn't understand it anymore.
One thing was sure, however. If they were allowed to take back control she'd soon find herself back on their planet. That couldn't be allowed to happen. "Er, inf- no, d-d-don't infect them." Hikaru stammered, all of her focus spent on keeping herself calm.
Kurai smirked at seeing Hikaru helpless, "You know, if you'd just join me Hikaru dear, I tortured the special forces information from those fools. Even location Don't you want revenge?"
Hikaru ignored her. Her thoughts were racing as it is. Kurai was the last thing she needed. But wait. Special Forces? They did wrong her... "Shut up." Hikaru finally snapped, her answer causing Kurai to frown.
"So you did fall."
"I DID NOT FALL!"
Kurai simply laughed and glanced to the Virus. "Stick with Hikaru, and you'll be ending your infecting streak before long. She's not as insane or devious as she used to be. In fact, she may even be going good. Do you really want that? A master creation such as you?"
-
The Virus left the ship and its systems and such, as well as the Aralangs. Hikaru's command took them by surprise. They really expected her command the Virus to infect them.
"Hikaru is the ultimate reason why I survived. I could have died long before Kurai showed up," the Virus said.
-
"Oh please," Kurai rolled her eyes, "Hikaru hates technology. The only reason she let you survive is because she was ignorant. She didn't even know the term at that time. Give her time and she'll destroy you for being from technology." Kurai stopped and then grinned, "Or! Maybe I'm wrong. If those fools made her change her ways so easily, maybe there's more they changed." Kurai looked delighted.
"You're wrong!" Hikaru snapped.
"Oh?" Kurai questioned, "At which part?"
"At...." Hikaru suddenly stopped, her words caught on her conflict as she looked down. Damn, Kurai, had caught her. And by the look on Kurai's face, Kurai knew it too.
"Aha, See?" Kurai asked the virus but directed the taunt at Hikaru. "She doesn't know what part to answer. If she answers yes to her old ways and no to being changed, you'll turn on her. But if she admits to being changed," Kurai laughed at the thought. "Our little spectators will lay witness and she'll be forced to acknowledge it. Why else would she command you not to infect them?"
-
"It doesn't matter to me much if she loves or hates technology," the Virus said.
The Aralangs took back control of the ship. It then activated its IAM, AT, AP, and ASE fields.
-
The second the fields were up, Hikaru felt the magic disappear as well as the feeling she had grown accustomed to just recently, inability to form Spirit Energy. But that was the Virus before, did it turn on her? Hikaru quickly glanced around, "Spirit Energy is gone..." She mumbled. "Did you do it?"
Kurai on the other hand looked bored once the God Fire circle around her disappeared as well as her black tendrils. It seemed at this point she was just as helpless as Hikaru. "So then what happens now, Hikaru dear?"
Hikaru still look confused, but ever so slowly, she was starting to come out of her shock.
-
"No," the Virus replied to Hikaru telepathically. "Most likely the Aralangs did it. They started to take over the ship, as far as I know, until I left the systems.
A Keeper arrived, and it beamed aboard Gaserlake and Leserlake. They've heard about Kurai being defeated, so they've burnt the contract that kept them in Aralia.
-
"They can block Spirit Energy?" Hikaru inquired in alarm, most of her shock having faded with that simple revelation. She quickly stared at the ground and muttered quietly, "Then it's over. That was the last trick I had for getting around their fields. And if they can block it, that means they can also..." Hikaru cringed. "Maybe Kurai had the right idea with that last suggestion.
"Oh look who the inferiors dragged in." Kurai laughed as she glanced to Gaserlake and Leserlake. "Your little friends." Kurai emphasized the word 'friend,' in order to make the taunt all the more real.
"Wha?" Hikaru glanced to the direction Kurai was staring. "Grrrr, dammit. Not now..." Hikaru sighed. Of all the times to run into them again.
-
Gaserlake and Leserlake ignored Hikaru. Their eyes were fixed on Kurai. Leserlake smirked while Gaserlake just laughed. The laughing died down and they moved towards Kurai. "Kurai's due for something," Gaserlake said, as the two grabbed her by the arms and dragged her away.
-
"If they can block Spirit Energy and even... " Hikaru quickly shook her head and made up her mind. "Stop them. But.., do it without taking control. Just stop them from taking Kurai." The moment Hikaru was had regained enough calmness to speak normally, she shouted after them, "You didn't defeat Kurai. I did. That means you have no jurisdiction over what happens to her."
Kurai laughed despite the fact she was being led away. She didn't even bother to resist. "That's right boooys," Kurai dragged the word on. "It's not your win."
-
The Virus infected Gaserlake and Leserlake, and stopped them from taking Kurai, forcing them to stop in their tracks and let go of Kurai, dropping her. "Alright, alright. Fine," Gaserlake growled. "She's yours."
"But we want a piece of her, too, you know!" Leserlake argued.
-
"Then you should have defeated her," Hikaru said in response before mumbling, "Release them," to the virus. "But you didn't. You had no hand in any of it."
"Oh Hikaru deary," Kurai turned her head back and called out in a sing-song voice as she smiled her sweetest. "All is not as it seems," she continued when Hikaru just ignored her. "You may want to question those two doggies more thoroughly on that little thing they call Elite Energy." Kurai laughed, "Because according to the virus, you somehow have it. Now I wooonder how that came about."
-
The Virus released Gaserlake and Leserlake, and left the bodies.
"Yeah. I gave Hikaru Elite Energy," Gaserlake shrugged like it was no big deal.
-
"Seeee?" Kurai wrenched her arms free from the two of them and skipped merrily over to Hikaru, smiling all the way. "Oh, and guess what? It's unnatural." Kurai cackled as she watched Hikaru finch in reaction. "One can only wonder how long.." Kurai pondered then laughed, "Oh well, you suuure you don't want to join me?"
Hikaru ignored Kurai and glared at Gaserlake, "What is it?!"
-
"It's a type of technological energy," Gaserlake informed Hikaru. "It makes you stronger, and faster, and makes you heal faster. Of course, you can control it with just will. Why did I do this? The Plex Virus was inside of you and we had to get it out."
-
Close to snapping, Hikaru didn't say a word and instead clenched her fists and demanded of him, "How do I get rid of it?!"
-
Gaserlake laughed. "I'm afraid you can't." He stopped laughing. "But really, you can't," he said with a serious face and tone of voice.
-
"AND WHY NOT?!" Hikaru shouted, having lost all composure. She looked like she was about ready to as her fists shook violently at her sides, her fingernails starting to dig into her palms hard enough to draw blood which dropped to the ground beside her. Who the hell did he think he was? The more he laughed it just served to piss her off further, and her eyes showed this as they narrowed.
"Ooh, maybe you should kill him." Kurai mused, finding great delight in the trouble she had caused.
-
He noticed her anger, but he kept on going. "It connects to your spirit, soul, mind, and body, basically," Gaserlake said. "It's fastened to you."
-
Before she could register her actions, Hikaru had tackled Gaserlake to the ground, pinning him there while at the same time sending a single thought to the Virus, "Become visible!" This of course all made Kurai laugh. As it was her fault the argument had started now of all times.
-
Hikaru's Elite Energy made her strong enough to pin Gaserlake down. Gaserlake couldn't just throw her off, anymore. He laughed. When the Virus made itself visible, everyone was in a panic. "Holy shit!" Leserlake shouted out. Gaserlake stopped laughing for a moment when it made the Virus appear, but then he smiled.
-
"Take down your fields!" Hikaru snapped without thinking. Then as realization about what she had in her control hit her, her eyes widened and she quickly added,"Forever."
Kurai glanced up at the last statement, the visible Virus didn't seem to bother her, but Hikaru's command made her smirk.
-
"If I don't?" Gaserlake spoke back.
-
"I'll have your whole race infected," Hikaru threatened. "Maybe even take a leaf from Kurai's book and have it tortured." Her eyes narrowed further as her tone became cold, "But unlike Kurai, who does it for fun and amusement just to see people beg. I know what I'm doing."
-
Gaserlake looked to the side in thought. "I...I don't know..." He turned back to her. "How do I know you wouldn't do it anyway? Having the fields gone would make us a hell of a lot more vulnerable."
-
"Because right now, I can just forcefully make it happen." Hikaru kept her gaze on him, unwavering. "But... something tells me not to..." She shook her head for a quick second then glared back at him. "And I have a feeling it's something you did. Either way.." Hikaru returned to the point, "I intend to see to it that in the near future the Sage Three take back this dimension. And if you want to stay, I suggest you take the first step in reconciling with the magic races. Otherwise it' will still happen, with or without your consent."
-
Gaserlake rolled his eyes. "Fine, but if you break the deal, we'll get the fields back up in no time. Oh, and something's telling you not to make it happen? I could help you with that, but you probably wouldn't want me to."
-
"It won't be that easy," Hikaru spat. "I want them destroyed." She ignored his question. "All of them. Every single last one of them."
-
Gaserlake spat at Hikaru, but not with anger, but with fun. "Go ahead. Infect all of us." He then started to laugh manic.
Aralangs went scared again. Was this really a good idea? They really didn't want to be infected again. They were almost ready to shout out "No!".
-
Hikaru was taken aback, but not too surprised. By now she was growing accustomed to this act, and though it served to piss her off further. It also got her nowhere in trying to negotiate her demands. "I never get anywhere talking with you.' Hikaru muttered to herself and glanced to Leserlake. "And you? Your answer?!"
-
"I'd prefer to get rid of the damn fields," Leserlake said, "but... but... whatever Gaserlake says..."
-
Hikaru sighed. Just what the hell was wrong with these people? Any other normal race would have seen that it would happen anyways and take the easier option. But these people just didn't seem to get it. Was it pride? That, Hikaru could understand. But if it was pride, they would have honor. And so far, other than life debts, she had seen none.
Quickly averting her eyes, Hikaru looked back at Gaserlake but revealed none of her confusion. Inside, she was conflicted for reasons she didn't understand. She didn't want to have them infected if they would listen. But they weren't, and if she hesitated, Hikaru would lose the upper hand. However she had to do something. If she waited too long, it would be as bad as hesitating, maybe even worse.
"Infect them visibly," Hikaru thought to the Virus as she stood back up. "But stay dormant, just make sure they see it happen and know it happened."
-
As Gaserlake got back up, the Virus infected every Aralang in the ship, while being dormant inside their bodies. Gaserlake actually remained calm this time, while Leserlake was nervous. The other Aralangs freaked out.
-
"Your answer now?" Hikaru demanded, her eyes on Gaserlake and Leserlake.
"Oh will you just destroy them already?" Kurai muttered, "That's all dogs are good for anyways."
-
"Gaserlake..." Leserlake said, being scared.
"Still no. Go ahead, bitch. May as well go all the way, because I"m not giving up the damn fields," Gaserlake said.
-
Hikaru continued to stand there and stare him down despite the insult. She said nothing aloud, but did send another thought to the Virus, "Take control long enough to drop the fields... Then release control... " Hikaru quickly closed her eyes and sighed, "And if I turn as bad as Kurai. It would be best if you flee the scene and lay low for a while. Because this will attract their Special Forces."
Looking back at Gaserlake, Hikaru took a stance of authority and remained calm, "Have it your way then."
-
"I'm on it," the Virus said. It then infected the ship's systems and dropped the fields, then released control of the ship.
Gaserlake smirked and nodded in such a way that it seemed like he was judging her.
-
Hikaru ignored him and awaited the fields to go down. When she felt them gone, Hikaru sighed and shook her head, her eyes on the floor for a moment, "You have no idea what you have forced me to resort to.."
Kurai looked over in interest as Hikaru raised her hand into the air and started to trace gold and red symbols into the air around her. Anyone that knew her mind and the spells she knew would know exactly what spell Hikaru was casting. Add that to the fact she was drawing it as slow as possible and almost hesitant, and you could guess that it wasn't a good spell.
When the last rune had shaped its self, Hikaru flicked her hand and the string of symbols encircled her fingers and flowed in a ring until they had merged into one pulsing symbol. With this symbol in hand, Hikaru lightly tapped her forehead with it and whispered one word of incantation, "laes."
She immediately collapsed after.
-
Gaserlake and Leserlake knew what she did. They read her mind before, and they knew what it was.
"Yeah, we've got to get out of here," Gaserlake telepathically told Leserlake.
"What? We're infected."
"Then I'll fucking go."
A Keeper arrived, and Gaserlake beamed aboard. The Virus spread, though invisibly. Leserlake, frustrated, went with him. The Keeper then left.
-
"Hah, they ran." Kurai laughed. "Some leaders you inferiors have. I knew they were dogs."
Not more than a second after they left the spell had completed and taken effect and Hikaru stirred, immediately pulling herself to her feet. But something was off, and different about her. Her eyes for once held no emotion whatsoever and made her look almost dead, and she held a stance that gave the feeling of regal authority.
Eyes narrowed, Hikaru surveyed the room and quickly noted the absence of Gaserlake and Leserlake. "Where are they?" Hikaru questioned, eyes closed.
"They ran off," Kurai smirked, she was answering more directly now that her 'better half,' was no longer really all that better. "Just like the cowardly dogs they are."
Hikaru glanced over to Kurai, "I don't believe I told you to speak." She muttered before directing her next command at the virus aloud, "Teleport them back. Drop the fields of whatever location they went to and make sure they can teleport. Do NOT take control of them until I say. I have better plans." Hikaru's tone held nothing, no anger, no hesitance, not even neutrality. There was just nothing there, period.
Kurai only laughed.
-
The Virus had to take down the shields of the Sajuuk in order for them to get teleported onto the ship. It did so, but only by a tiny hole. The Virus then teleported the Gaserlake and Leserlake back to the Sajuuk, and turned the shields back to normal.
"Oh, shit," Gaserlake said in a bored tone.
-
"Bind them. Magic Circle." Hikaru ordered.
"What?!" Kurai demanded. "Why aren't you killing them?"
"Killing them would be too nice." Hikaru kept her eyes on Gaserlake, though she was answering Kurai. "It's letting them get away through death. Even permanent is an escape. And torture? That's just a waste of time. I'll make them suffer through more creative methods. That's where you failed to be a threat. Now, hold your tongue or you'll be joining them. The games end here."
-
The Virus bound them to their location in spacetime with a spell circle.
"Well, congratulations, Hikaru," Gaserlake smirked. "You've become a killing machine. Wonderful." He clapped his hands.
-
"Silence him." Hikaru simply stated.
Raising her hands in front her of her, Hikaru focused to a point a in her memories and drew all the information she had stolen from the Level Five documents at one point before and formed them into a sphere of literal words before her, the same sphere that she had sent out, what felt like so long ago.
When finished with the sphere, Hikaru glanced back to Kurai. "You retrieved the location of their Special Forces, correct?"
"As if I'm giving it to you," Kurai rolled her eyes. "I'm still the more evil one."
"I don't believe I asked you." Directing her attention back to the Virus, Hikaru ordered aloud, "Infect Kurai and retrieve the information. After that, take control of the system and direct this," Hikaru threw the sphere of information into the air and let it hover there, just out of reach of Gaserlake and Leserlake, "In a broadcast to them as well as the rest of the dimensional plane. That should draw them out, as well as provide a warning."
-
The Virus inside of Gaserlake stopped prevented him from speaking anymore. It then infected Kurai and transmitted the information of the ASF to Hikaru. It took the orb and gathered the information from it. It then broadcasted the information to everyone in the dimension, then the rest of the dimensional plane, using magic to make it able to broadcast across the dimensional plane, whereas normally, it wouldn't be able to.
Soon enough, the Special Forces arrived. However, they were cloaked.
-
In one hand Hikaru materialized a potions vial, then with her other hand she caused the remaining Aralangs to levitate off the ground. Then throwing up the vial, she flicked the hand that had held it real fast and cast a shrinking spell on the levitating Aralangs. By the time the vial was close to falling to the ground she caught it with that same hand and directed the now levitated group of pocket-sized aralangs with her other hand into the vial.
Hikaru pocketed the vial and turned her attention back to Gaserlake and Leserlake, stepping forward into the same circle. "When we leave, have the ship self destruct," she ordered. "I don't care what you do with Kurai. She's no longer any of my concern." With that Hikaru took control of the spell circle and mass teleported herself along with the two Aralangs while taking the circle with.
-
The Virus teleported Kurai with Hikaru. She didn't care what it does with Kurai? Good, because it wanted to have some fun with Kurai.
"You would want to leave the galaxy," the Virus told Hikaru. "Unstable Saraton Energy is one hell of a weapon." The Virus took over the ship again, charged up all the cannons, and destroyed it. One would expect a massive explosion. Yes, that's true, but there's something else, too. A black blob, blacker than a black hole, blacker than black, expanded, and expanded at an exponential rate. It was already spreading fast to start with, but as each second pasts, it gets a lot faster. Anything and everything in its path gets completely destroyed, breaking the laws of conservation. In fact, it destroyed anything and everything in every single way possible, and even ways that are IMpossible, to BE destroyed completely.
How is it able to do this? USE is not bound to existence. It is destructive energy, so it got as destructive as it could. Not even God Fire is able to stop this. USE would simply destroy it with literally no resistance. There is no way to contain this, magic or otherwise. If one used magic, USE would simply destroy the effects.
USE also sucks things in. It sucks things in stronger than a black hole. It can make an entire galaxy collapse, and cause significant gravitational disturbances to distant objects, objects even on the opposite side of the dimension.
This was a big galaxy, so shouldn't this take days, weeks, months, years, even? Nope. This entire galaxy has been consumed within minutes.
The ASF knew this was happening, so they followed Hikaru, cloaked, before this happened.
USE took several weeks before it had spread out and became too unstable to support itself anymore. By then, it had spread far beyond the limits of the galaxy and the local area it was in.
