The boat on which UnStellar and K2323 found themselves coming to shore on greatly decreased in speed once it got near his house. It began its slow approach towards the dock, ever so gracefully coming in from a worthy battle at sea for a certain artifact in a box which K2323 now had secured. There was hardly anything to be worried about now. K2323 was much calmer than he had been an hour ago.. Okay, so maybe not.
Truth is, he was still freaking out.
"They're coming," he told UnStellar as the boat came near to the dock, "And they'll send an army."
-
UnStellar removes his tie and shirt, covered in fried fish grease and charred skin.
"What happens if, we don't get this box where it needs to go? What if they win?" He asks, his face completely serious now.
-
"They're coming for this box," he explained, "Because it's a threat to them.. But we can't fight them. Not even with what's in this box.. If they get what's here, we will stand no chance.. None of us will."
Ironically, right as he finished speaking, the water around the boat began to bubble ever so slightly. K2323 didn't seem to notice as he brought the boat into the dock and began to cut off the engine and tie her up.
-
"Who are they? And what will they do? Enslave you, or kill you, or kick your dog? What did you do to them?" He asks, a little pressing. He noticed the water and it worried him.
-
K2323 stepped up onto his dock, smiling slightly at the jokes of UnStellar. He extended his hand, as to help UnStellar off the boat. It was true that they probably would enslave him.. No. They'd do much worse than enslave him.
"These.. people. They don't exactly agree with the decisions of someone.. very close to me," he tried to explain, "So, I'm a target to them.."
-
UnStellar takes the hand and gets out of the boat, taking a quick, unsure glance at the water and seeing that, if K2 wasn't worried, he probably wouldn't need to be worried either.
"Was it love, or family?"
-
He looked at UnStellar in the eyes for a bit.. But in K2323's own eyes, there was no remorse. There was no regret. There was no sadness. There was only one emotion, and that was a will to fight.
"Both."
He motioned for UnStellar to follow him as he started walking across his yard, back towards his house. He started to explain as they walked.
"Have you ever heard of.. an embodiment?"
-
UnStellar was honestly a little taken a back... The look caught him off guard. He hadn't seen any one look that serious since... Since Drudge's Dad broke him the news.
The ONE thing that's haunting, yeah the the ONE thing that's haunting me, is your daddy's eyes... But there was main difference. Drudge's Dad's eyes had defeat, well K2323 had defiance, will, inspiration. It was almost intoxicating.
"No, I haven't. I'm... Not from around here, as I'm sure you can tell." He replies sharply, snapping out of his minor trance and trudging to catch up behind him.
-
He leaned against the wall as K2 and Unstellar walked towards the house, his familiar smirk on his face as he raised his head to make sure K2 saw his face. His snow white hair and blue eyes couldn't be mistaken for anything else, they were marks. Scars left on him by his life in Plex, he was powerful when it came to magic, but he was never able to change his hair or eyes, even with the the best shapeshifting magic. "They're..the highest on the food chain. Literal Gods of a singular aspect of reality. There is an Embodiment for everything, gravity, magic, destruction, chaos, and treachery. You name it. But there was an order to things, they all listened to their leaders. Destruction and Creation, God and the Devil. Some of them are rebelling, the rebellion in Heaven, the bloodiest war in all of existence, will look like a child's tantrum compared to this." Orpheus announced as he looked at K2323 and nodded towards the water.
"They're here."
-
Finally Jonathan and Lucas arrived near K2's house. They had swam the rest of the way, to his house. Jonathan and Lucas had used air based magic to accelerate them, by forming a jet of water that propelled them all the way to the house of K2323 near his dock, at which point they had teleported to those two.
Lucas still wore the eternal saber pin on him, but it was safe. He would be able to use the eternal saber pin if the need should arise to cast some of his more powerful spells, while Jonathan had his sword out and ready if the need should arise for him to use it, both of them having shed the breathing under water spell after getting out of it.
-
K2323 dropped to his knees at the sight of the white haired man he had known oh so long ago, hardly able to believe that this man who he had called friend was here pnce more.. standing next to his pool. This was quite the curious thing, to say the least. If only it was a better occassion..
"Orpheus.. Its been thirteen years. I don't know what to say.."
He turned to see what Orpheus was pointing at and laid his eyes upon the water.
Then, all in one moment, a black portal appeared in the sky.. Right as Westhot had been destroyed, its inhabitants had been brought by some strange force to Shore. Everyone who had been at the Festival of Waves began to rain upon the planet of Shore.
-
UnStellar did not like the sound of this... But honestly found himself getting excited.
"Surely someone's slain one before?" He asked, hopefully.
-
"MOTHERFU-" Jay clattered down upon the floor from the portal before K2 and Unstellar. He quickly brought himself to his feet, glancing around his surroundings before noting Inari likely also falling. If it seemed like she was gonna fall hard, he would have slowed her to at least a non-painful landing.
The Sword of Ages fell close next to Jay before suddenly appearing holstered on his back.
SCOUT correctly steadied itself in mid-air and gracefully reached the ground.
-
As they neared the ground they slowed, Orpheus' power was great, greater then it had ever been. It was Plex's doing, but despite that his increase in strength came from one of the evilest things known to man, doesn't mean he can't do some good with it. "Embodiments have been killed in the past..but on very rare occasions. They are very powerful." He replied to Unstellar as he turned to K2.
"Well, last time you saw me you were an angel, and I was possessed by the general of the underworld. Now we're on the verge of a holy war between a new order and tradition, can't we just ever stop by for tea and cookies or something?" Orpheus joked as his eyes brightened slightly, nigh-invisible tendrils of energy started to reach from his fingertips, grasping the edge of the portal as he forced the rift in space to close.
-
K2323 looked out at the crowd of people in his yard who had just arrived from the Carnival. He was amazed.. So many people. What had gone down at that GOL festival? What had happened?
He turned his attention back to those nearby, nodding his head at Orpheus's words.
"I have," he explained, "An item in this box.. A notebook, blank, with no words written inside. This notebook is.. Very important. It is one of the few things that exist which can destroy a certain.. relative of mine. It is important that I keep it safe."
The box vanished, stored somewhere.. Somewhere only K2323 knew of.
-
"You have an item?! Who's?!" Orpheus cried out as he realized what K2323 possessed.
-
A mental message would reach Jay.
Whatever Plex is, you shall be sent a lot of help friend. But know this, one day those abilities of yours I hope you might teach other people. Anyway, sending you some help now. The message was from Lucas.
Near Jay a portal would open. Out of it would come 30 Magi-Androids, and 30 infiltrators and then the portal would close. But to the observers each android would be clad in a robe of silk but that was really just how they were built. One of the androids held out his hand, a Magi-Android and concentrated. The rip in the area, the portal that had been created and was raining people was a problem and so the android tried to help Orpheus without realizing it, aiming to redirect the portal rather than close it, redirect all of them to Magimeta.
-
After the voice played in Jay's head he shook his head lightly "Oh...Uhm" He laughed a little "Apparently I have an army" Looking over the group here Jay finally noted K2 "Oh. I've seen you before."
-
"You're the strange man with the ancient magic," K2323 realized, "I met you on Teffilin. What was your name? Jake? John? Come join us, my friend. We could use your help..."
He looked around at the group. "I have an item which can destroy my grandfather, the embodiment of Anarchy. He's the general of the embodiments... Serves Plex directly."
A structure began to rise from out of the bubbling water.
-
"What are your commands Jay? We have been ordered to follow your commands while Lucas prepares his secret weapon for this war against Plex, whatever it is. We have also been programmed with priority 1 codes to evacuate everyone non-essential from this area. "
The infiltrators created psionically powered portals using their constructor systems and artificial Psi systems, thus allowing the people that fell to leave if they wanted to. The Magi-Androids however just stood there awaiting orders from Jay, as he was their commanding officer for now.
The infiltrators then spoke out. "All of you weak in magic or Psi, go through the portals now. It will lead you somewhere relatively safer than this place of that you can be assured."
-
"Oh please. These trashcans?" Kurai appeared sitting atop the shoulder of one of the Magi-androids. Taking her index finger and thumb, she flicked the head of it rather painfully. "With these bucket of bolts you're more likely to lose," Kurai laughed and jumped off, landing gracefully to the ground and glancing to the area where K2323 had just motioned to. "Now where is this Plex? I'd much rather serve the winning side with many casualties than stick around the losing side with none." Kurai frowned.
Inari stood by silently throughout most of it, mystified by it all. When the army had appeared, her eyes widened with shock.
-
...and so the android tried to help Orpheus without realizing it, aiming to redirect the portal rather than close it, redirect all of them to Magimeta.
OOC: ... So I'm going to Magimeta because I just so happened to be too slow to post? That's low. Very low.
-
(The androids are attempting that. You can resist it if you want)
-
OOC: Oops.
The attempts at redirecting the portal were useless considering everyone had already come through the portal to Shore.
-
"This is a new one. Never been in command of an army." Jay grinned before looking over to Kurai "You're the bitch who fucked with the carnival." He shot her a look of pure contempt "You're lucky im a level headed man."
He looked over at Inari "You ok? Want me to send you home? Speak up." He grinned at her, seeming to swap between moods as he spoke to different people before looking over at K2 and saying "Name's Jay Stryder. Last Templar."
-
"Owowowowwww..." Slingah murmured, still recovering from his fall as he rubbed his head. Sandy beach or no, if you fall fast enough, it will hurt. Especially if you're but just a human. Or you at least look like one. What the hell happened...? ... wait, what's with all these people?
Yggatte slowly floated down to the scene, the moon-colored wolf looked around him at the current happenings, unable to make any real sense of it.
But he wasn't occupied with that.
What happened to the planet I was on? Did it.. did it explode?! I didn't even get to ask anyone about anything! Nooooo...
-
UnStellar jumps to the roof of K2323's mansion, feeling overwhelmed by the amount of people... and robots, appearing. It was a crash course in new cultures, so many different people and so much happening. He looked down at them all from his high perch, and the building rising from the water. Something was coming, that much UnStellar knew. It was serious enough to bring together several different peoples, and grim enough to make them band together.
With dozens of capable fighters appearing and uncertainty in his mind, UnStellar began to question sticking around much longer. He speculated that Mazheeka would be safe, and even if it he wasn't he figured his people could handle it. Dislike them though he did, the Mazheek could fight if they needed too.
He sat down, legs dangling over the roof's edge as he grabs a shirt from his magic satchel, buttoning it up with able hands.
What if I said I'm not like the others?
He sighs deeply taking in the steady stream of people arriving, making observations and, in a way, judgments about them. Embodiment. That's what they called them. "Top of the foodchain" was how the man had put it, and a feeding frenzy was about to start. But they HAD been killed before. That gave UnStellar hope. He shut his eyes and thought back briefly to school lessons.
"We, the Mazheek, are strong willed, able bodied people. From the beginning of our existence we wrestled with enormous predators three times our size and bigger, we fought enormous ancient evils that most cultures submitted to and worshiped. We have conquered the tenacious climate of our world, and bested the beings that thought they could control it, the Weather Lords. In our darkest moment we faced a race of self-proclaimed Gods, the Immortals, and we cast them down from their thrones, shouting as they fell that we would rule ourselves, and that Immortality is, in fact, a loose term." The teacher said, concluding her proud speech.
UnStellar opens his eyes. Immortality is a loose term.
"Tell me..." He says, his voice projecting abnormally loud though he did not shout. "These embodiments... How many are we fighting?" He stands.
"And how many have been killed before?" He asks with his classic half smirk.
What if I said I'm not just another one of your fakes?
-
Reyky sat up. He was feeling a multitude of things. Physical pain from his broken tailbone. Sorrow from witnessing the death of Naralia. A little heartbreak and treachery left over from the embodiments. These emotions were miniscule in comparison however. In near entirety he was angry. Angry at Naralia for sacrificing herself like that. Angry at her for failing. Angry at himself for failing. He after all had just sat there. He had done nothing. He had watched her die from a distance. Watched her be killed by the monster. The heartbreaker. That's what angered him the most. Blind rage welled up inside him, and he couldn't think straight. He wanted one thing: revenge. So he did more then just sit up. He grabbed her weapon, the weapon that had slid through the portal, and ran. He ran to the two great magical beings that stood a few hundred feet before him. Upon reaching K2323 and Orpheus, he snapped, "Send me back! SEND ME BACK! I have to kill that monster!"
-
"Sending you back to an empty void in space sounds like a bad idea dude, Westhot was destroyed. Nothing left of it but a few chunks of rock." Orpheus said plainly, like it was an everyday thing for an entire world to be destroyed. Then again, these days..it wasn't an uncommon occurrence for entire species, entire planets, or entire solar systems to be wiped off the map. "Impossible to tell really, every concept or idea, every fundamental force of reality in general has it's own respective Embodiment. The only ones who really know their numbers would be the generals of the two sides, the rebel's Anarchy, and the loyalist's Destruction and Creation. And I couldn't tell you, because Embodiments never really die. They pass their powers onto a successor, but I do know that there are original Embodiments, and the number of originals is dwindling. Vahaga," Orpheus stopped to take a breath, and look out towards the structure rising from the sea.
"The Embodiment of Cold, was recently killed by Destruction. Then again, Destruction is Destruction..he's a lot more dangerous then most of us combined." Orpheus finished, an image of Koty appeared before him. "He's not even at his full power, and those two that attacked today fled pretty quickly when they saw him."
-
"It was like a skinny red dog, and I need to kill it!" Reyky affirmed.
-
"Nice to meet you, J-"
It happened.
The structure that was rising from the water appeared to be a gate of some sorts -- a doorway. It rose from the water and grew to a great size. It was several feet high and several feet wide. The doors of the doorway opened to reveal pure darkness inside...
And a black haze began to come from the door.
-
Reyky watched it rise, and began to think that maybe the hearbreaker and it's companion would lie inside. They however came from a different portal, and it wasn't certain that the creature lay inside. Another thought crossed his mind: how could he beat that thing? He'd need something to give him an advantage, but what?
-
The black haze met a spherical barrier of a bronze energy that had formed around it, Orpheus' left hand was outstretched as he generated and manipulated the negative energy, the barrier would hold back the haze, if just for a while.
"Someone get these people out of here! K2 and me will hold them off as long as we can!" Orpheus ordered as fire erupted around him, bronze in color and burning whatever it touched to naught but ash. Plexan Fire, flames created from pure negative energy. They had but one purpose, and that was to burn. His obsidian scythe appeared in his right hand, glowing faintly as if it knew what was coming.
-
UnStellar reaches into his messenger bag and hurls a blue Portal Cube into the gateway, settling into a battle ready stance from atop the roof.
-
Reyky saw the flames, and fear crept into his soul once again. This time however, he was not succumbing to it. He had a reason to stand. "What cn I do?" he asked Orpheus.
-
Bluargh!
Orpheus started to throw up violently, a mixture of blood, actual vomit, and what looked like liquid bronze. His body started to shake as each wave of putrid bile left his mouth, he was done in under a minute, and wobbly stood to his feet. But there was a frightened look in his pure blue eyes, which now looked like they had streaks of bronze in them, and his hair started to turn brown as well. "Get as many civilians as you can out of here..hide them somewhere safe. Somewhere not in this dimension." Orpheus ordered with a stern look on his face, one that didn't need any backtalk. "They just woke him up, hopefully he doesn't come here first. We can't take him, none of us can. Plex is awake." Orpheus announced as the bronze fire started to burn brighter, and the barrier suddenly got stronger. There was plexan energy in the air, even this soon after his awakening.
It was going to be a long, long day.
-
UnStellar jumps from his roof, landing behind Orph. He lays his hands on him, magic flashing through his arms as he gives him some more energy to feed from.
"It would be stupid to die here alone. Either come with us or let me stay too." He says, voice flickering as he transfers magic energy.
-
"I'm the same," Reyky said. "That thing killed one of my only friends. I'm not letting her die in vain."
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Upon hearing this, Zaigen started commanding, "Okay, you heard the man! EVERYBODY! We need to get the heck away from here!"
-
The plexan energy seeping into the dimensional plane on the planet Shore seemed to all focus around Orpheus, being absorbed into his system naturally, his eyes and hair slowly turning to a bronze color. "I wont stop you, just don't get in my way." He muttered as the plexan fire around him started to burn brighter, turning from a small amount into a major inferno without any help from Orpheus. "Just get these damned civilians out of here for me first, I have to focus on holding this barrier up."
-
UnStellar nods, floating into the air as he ties a gray tie from his messenger bag, the flap stays open, and spheres start to float out of the bag, just a few a at first, but suddenly thousands were streaming from his bag, all dark blue. They flew toward civilians and as soon as they were struck they vanished, carried off to one of UnStellar's many pocket dimensions. They kept coming and coming and sending people away.
-
"To those who wish to stay and fight," K2323 called out, "Prepare yourselves!"
The barrier Orpheus erected did a good job of keeping the black haze out for awhile, but it eventually broke through the barrier, shattering it into a million pieces. The black haze formed into the shape of an arm which began to expand from the doorway... It was coming inwards towards the land. As it came, the waves on the ocean began to rock. Something was about to happen.
"ATTACK!" K2323 yelled out as his Genesis Staff appeared in hand.
The water began to swirl with Genesis Magic as a water cyclone rose up, streaks of the white dragon magic within it. The water cyclone began to move towards the arm. The Anrufe also pitched in (with the exception of White and Black, who were trying to help create chaos, and Assassin, who was not present on the planet), using their specialties to help attack the arm. Leon Vasuta did not evacuate with the other civilians. He had his camera going trying to get a good report for the Galactic Times. This was front page news!
Nek quickly evacuated into the pocket dimension. He had no abilities or magic what-so-ever. He didn't stand a chance in a battle like this. He was glad that there was somewhere safe to evacuate to. He could have been destroyed here.
Chal was standing next to K2323, also focusing on the arm in the distance. He was attempting to dissipate the haze of the arm by physically expanding it.
-
"And just where do you think you're all going?" At first sight of the arm and the chaos that ensued from it, Kurai had flown over and now stood in front of the pocket dimension blocking the frantic civilians from evacuating. Kurai reached out and grabbed Nek by the neck before he could escape, "Why not stay? Enjoy the show. I'm sure it's bound to be extremely violent." Her teeth glinted in an almost vampiric sadistic look as she grinned.
Black tendrils grew up from the sand behind her and completely consumed the portal of the pocket dimension till a wall of black stood between it and the rest of the civilians. "In fact, why don't you all stay?"
-
"Just who in the hell do you think I am?" Jay's voice seemed somewhat darker as he focused only on Kurai "You picked the wrong guy to piss off, kid." He grinned maliciously, time seemingly distorting around him. He had seen too much death today, he now recognized Nek grasped firmly in Kurai's hand. As if instantly, Nek was far behind Jay. Kurai wouldn't have felt a single bit of magic used there, it was as if it should have been the next thing to happen in time. The Templar threw Nek his pistol "Use it if you need it man. Army, attack the hand. Inari, watch and learn; The Sage Three aren't the only badasses in this universe anymore" He slowly drew his blade before walking calmly towards Kurai "I'll give you one warning. Just leave."
SCOUT began to record, it HAD to see this fight between organics and the battle arm attacking. It readied it's gun-arm, ready to defend itself.
-
A sphere flew at lightning speed to Nek, and took him to the pocket dimension right out of Kurai's hands.
"Stop creating a fuss!" Zaigen snapped as he shot the spheres from at the different people.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was then that the water splashed. A huge tidal wave came through from the ocean, and what could have caused it? Only a giant man-eating guardian fish. It was still angry from it's last encounter with K2323 and Unstellar.
-
OOC:Damnit I keep forgetting to post in here.
Keith and Denera, who'd landed softly on the planet in the first place due to Keith creating wings, joined the attack. Well, Keith did, anyways. He sent Denera to round up the civilians, and keep them away from the battle, while he turned his arms into crossbows before firing a couple arrows at the arm in order to see what affect it'd have. And then Kurai showed up...Which meant Denera was in danger. He couldn't go over to help them-The arm looking thing looked MUCH more dangerous-But he couldn't just let Kurai-whom he'd met when she was created-just stay there and possibly hurt Denera. And so, he opened a Chaos Warp right in front of her, and another behind her, and another nearby, with each of them throwing a tendril of pure Chaos to stab her. While the attack might not kill her, it'd at the very least distract her. Unfortunate for the poor whats-his-face she was carrying, as he might also get speared, but he was making sure Denera was safe. He didn't have time for people he didn't care about. He turned to one of the Anrufe operatives as well, asking,"Any of you know whats going on?"
Hiro and Sara had landed on the planet without difficulty due to Hiro's wind magic, and were very confused for most of the time that everything went on. When they heard the command to attack, though, well, they decided to go see what was going on. At first, they were planning on asking how much money the person was willing to pay, buuut when a giant arm of smoke is coming out of nowhere-And, more importantly, YOUR life is in peril as well-You band together with the people fighting it. Hiro pulled out Masamune, while Sara pulled out Malious, winds swirling around the blade as flames danced upon the lance, both prepared to attack when needed.
Blaze fell upon the planet with a thud, inable to correct his descent with his feet-mounted thrusters due to how sheerly heavy his armor was. Luckily, it was that same heavy armor that absorbed the shock of the fall, preventing serious injury on his part. He'd gotten up, and walked amongst the crowd, when everything went to hell. That person up there...Whoever it was, looked like a harpy...Was preventing these people from leaving.
"HAMMERSPACESYSTEM-ONLNE
MATERIALIZINGBLACKLASER" His armor voiced inside of the helmet, as his custom-made Laser Rifle, made of Black Platinum like his armor, materialized. He set it to single-shot as opposed to spread, took aim, and fired, the black light refracting into a beam designed to burn through flesh and bone.
The Pirate had fallen from the sky, and would've been injured, had she not created a cushion of water to break her fall. Of course, other people would probably be strung from hitting the surface of the water so fast(like a bellyflop), but not her. Poor other people that hit her cushion, but meh, who cared. She heard the call to attack later on, and smiled, slithering towards the sound, and once she arrived, freezing the moisture in the air around the giant arm-whatever-it-was. She didn't know if it'd help, but hey, who knows? Maybe it could be frozen.
As lauren and Dread fell, dread instantly grew from the form of a small baby Dracolich into a massive adult undead dragon, catching his mistress in one of his foot-claws and flapping his wings once, completely stopping their descent, then letting them fall slowly to ground. Lauren tried to help the civilians get to safety, but when the harpy-looking person arrived, Dread took action. Its bones rattled, as it breathed out, the corrupted air making its way towards the harpy-creature. If it came in contact with her, or anything else really, the magic contained within it would cause whatever it touched to instantly rot into nothing, corroding through pretty much everything.
Janice had been just about to cut through a poor man's throat with the energy blade when she was taken by the portal to the area. Her mind instantly snapped back to normal, and while she wondered why she had a energy blade, she didn't argue about having the jetpack, which she used to slow her descent. She made her way near the group of fighters when she heard the call to battle, using magic once she arrived to create a artillery battery to fire, asking,"Whats going on? What is that thing?"
Victoria fell to the ground, landing on her back. Normally, such a fall would probably kill a person, but due to her magic, she was able to heal almost instantly. Still, while that magic didn't require her to use up her blood, she was getting thirsty, so she just bit a random civilian that fell right next to her, draining him of some of his blood in order to sustain herself. She immediately set out, trying to find Parody, Fluffy, and that new robot Parody'd found.
-
"And what are you going to do with that? Stab me? Oh how delightful!" Kurai showed no surprise when Nek had disappeared and instead took enjoyment in taunting the young adult in front of her. There was something off about him, something she couldn't quite comment on, yet something that seemed familiar. Oh well, the unknown made it all the more fun to play with, to break, and to destroy. "With such large sword, maybe might just be able to play hero! Of course, that makes me the villain, doesn't it? And the villain always destroys the hero." Kurai held out her right hand and black stained silver flames erupted forth and shaped themselves into a scythe. Giving the scythe a quick flick, she grinned, and stretched out her wings to their full fifteen-foot wingspan, the feathers as hard as diamond. "At least in my story they do."
The black tendrils continued to latch onto the portal of the pocket dimension and sew it shut, black strings shot out in every direction from the larger tendrils of blackened energy and threaded through the portal, stitching shut one by one. The rest of the tendrils turned their attention to the attacks meant for Kurai, one easily deflected the sphere throne by Zaigen right back at him in a more powerful blast. While the rest of the tendrils reached out and corroded the oncoming blacklight lasers, first solidifying them so they could be affected, and then breaking them into pieces.
Those pieces were then thrown back at Blaze by yet MORE tendrils of black energy that just seemed to becoming from nowhere all around Kurai at her command. This black energy wasn't just normal energy you see. It was her specialty, Negative Spirit Energy. Unlike normal Spirit Energy, this was not using her Existence, but the existence of her opponents attacks and converting it into a corrupted form of its self, non-existence. Since Tech was basically tech existence and magic, magic existence, these could be corrupted into negative forms and re-converted. But that's not all it did. Negative Spirit Energy could also eat the existence it converted and thus grow stronger, it was quite damaging form of Spirit Energy that only the very strongest Negi had. Ones that came from the strongest magic users. Add that to the fact Kurai had the negative forms of all the forms of magic Hikaru had including Negative Revelation and Negative Genesis? Yeah... This made her a dangerous force to be reckoned with.
The pure Chaos was met with a slew of feathers that swirled around Kurai from her wings, yet strangely left no feathers missing. Each and every feather caught the Chaos and in a way absorbed it, the feather then breaking and another taking its place. More feathers detached themselves and darted at Keith, the negative Spirit Energy alight around them, reading to corrupt and turn Negative Keith's very existence.
Black winds swept from the wings and cut into the breath of the dragon Dread, attempting to turn the breath into a more negative form and blow it back at the dragon and by proxy, its rider as well.
Inari raised a transparent barrier around herself to protect her from the negative effects and keep a Negi of herself developing. Specializing in defense magic, she wasn't very strong on offense and didn't have any real way to attack but to provide information, "That's not just any Negi!" Inari exclaimed in reply. "That's Kurai. She's a Negi of my former teacher, She has all of her magic, and more."
-
But since the spheres created individual portals for each person, Kurai could not interfere, as they transported the civilians as soon as they touched them hauling them to a pocket dimension only he knew about, and there were thousands of spheres, transporting thousands of people. They kept flowing from his messenger bag.
UnStellar focused hard on the spheres, triggering them at the right time and making sure they only hit civilians. It would be disastrous to send one of his opponents to his pocket dimension, so he focused more on his spheres then attacking anybody else. A sphere struck the reporter, carrying him away. As the tidal wave comes close he floats above it, he wouldn't be hurt, he just kept coordinating the escapes, moving quicker with the wave coming.
-
I'll be ignited, when I get to watch you burn!
The boy, who seemed so calm a second ago. Was in a frenzy, the bronze fire surrounding him reached unfathomable heights, his power was a dam that just broke, spurred by the release of Plex. The fire rose into the air, becoming a miniature brown sun. The surface of the water started to boil and steam, the grass shriveled and died, the whole planet was starting to bake under the artificial Plexan sun. "Now I get to watch you burn! Burn! BURN!" He roared as arms and hands made of nothing but solidified fire shot forth from the sun, there were hundreds of them. Each intent on grabbing the black arm and its gate before reeling it into the sun, burning it to nothing.
His scythe started to glow brightly, pure negative energy, not just Plexan energy were flowing through it. Hate, anger, and the urge to destroy. The urge to destroy. Violet colored steam seemed to rise from the boy, but he showed no signs of being burnt by the fire above him.
-
"I should have worn SPF," K2323 said aloud as a barrier surrounded him to block out the heat of the Plexan sun. Chal also formed a barrier around him. The Anrufe saw others following suit, and did so as well.
Nek glanced out to the ocean and saw the fish coming towards the shore as the water started to boil from the heat of the sun.
"Fish sticks," he muttered.
"I'm not sure what's going on," KiaB replied, looking at Keith and Denera, "But it's because you neglected to protect Sirius."
White and Black appeared next to Kurai.
"Need help?" White asked, grinning.
The attacks on the arm and gate had little effect. The arms found themselves unable to touch the gate, the fire being naturally attracted to the gate and the arm. The fire arms/hands were just fueling the gate. The arm continued to expand from the portal, its fist pounding into the ground, causing many shockwaves.
-
Jay began to float, still slowly towards Kurai "Hero? Sure, i'm getting a lot of names thrown around at me these days." He grinned, time still greatly distorting around him
Just freeze time and cut her fucking head off, idiot.
A dark voice piped up inside Jay's head, distracting him a little. No, he wasn't a killer. "I'll do a lot worse than stab you, damn harpy."
With that, Jay seemingly disappeared; Reappearing directly across from Kurai. Kurai would have noticed that her Scythe was now lodged into the floor below them. He then threw two Temporal Bolts at her, speeding them up intensely by distorting time around them too.
"Jay Stryder, the greatest Templar to ever live here to kick. Your. Ass"
-
"IT'S MINE! NOT YOURS! NOT ANYONE ELSE'S! MINE! MINE! MIIIINNNE!" Orpheus roared, his voice changing into a more demonic and destructive tone. The fiery hands made contact, his will was so powerful that the fire could not be absorbed, it was powered by his determination. It was similar to a beam of energy having the same frequency has a shield, both were energy that had no will behind it. And therefore passed through each other, but this fire had a will behind it. And that will was what defended it from being absorbed, small flecks of violet started to appear in the bronze fire, and it burned brighter then ever before. All of them started to pull the gate and it's arm into the miniature sun.
Negative energy became visible in the air around Orpheus, it would have the unfortunate effect of empowering Kurai and the twins. Fueling them.
-
Suddenly, a being materialized in the area, seeming to darkly fade in from nothing. He'd followed the negative energies from his home of Ragnarok to here like a fly to honey, and saw a fight breaking out.
[/i]Perfect.[/i]
Instantly he pulled out his pistol, Desmaldo, and formed a copy of it in his other hand, and fired at the two silver arcs of energy headed for the floating damsel. "Evening, miss, ah must say it looks like yer outnum'ered. All'a us outlaws've gotta stick togeth'r, y'know what ah mean? So, if'n you dont mind, I'd like to offer mah aid." He said, bowing, and truly a odd sight as he looked to be a heterochomatic child(one eye red, the other blue) with blond hair, not some sort of cowboy he was talking like.
As for why he chose to aid her, it wasn't just because she was alone, n, he's not THAT nice(or really nice at all). It was more because...How should he say...He could just FEEL her darkness, as though the fact that she was evil was palpable in the air. And he didn't aid goody-goody-two-shoes-people, no sir.
Solidified lasers were no match for Black Platinum, one of the hardest and strongest materials in the dimension, yet Blaze still dodged the attack. Something just didn't *FEEL* right about them, though he couldn't place it. Nor about himself, now that he thought about it...He'd never had problems with killing others, though he tried not to if he could, yet he was having disturbing thoughts...
But no. Not a chance. Unless he had to...This person was going to be brought to justice ALIVE. Killing 'em would just let them escape punishment, let 'em get off easy. He wouldn't let that happen if he could help it.
Dread dodged the attack, flying up a bit and flinging Lauren into the air with his leg-claw and catching her on his back. He saw that a normal attack wouldn't work, and his bones rattled once more, but this time it seemed the air was coming into him, before he let out a massive roar, sending corrupted air at the harpy-looking enemy at high speed, with at the center a flame that would, instead of burn whatever it touched, instead rot it, spreading rot and corrosion life wildfire.
The feathers themselves were turned into pure Chaos when they neared Keith, he doing to them what they were trying to do to him, except in reverse. The area directly around him was pure Chaos, radiated from him. But unlike most Chaos, this had purpose, it was ordered. Just a small bit ago, he would've killed anyone who'd said he'd do such a thing...Funny how the world works sometimes. the Chaos was ordered in a way that would defend him, just as the Negative spirit Energy had a purpose, so did it, and it could detect the purpose of such things passing through. Since those were going for Keith, not the the chaos around him, they were able to overtake it without much resistance, turning it into more Chaos. Keith, meanwhile, turned his crossbow-arms on Kurai, and opened fire as once the bolts were fired, new ones were created from him. As for KiaB, he shook his head, saying,"I lost him in the crowd. I have no way of finding him besides visually, and I thought he'd be able to take care of himself. Im sorry...But either way, whats done is done. I'll take whatever punishment ya decide to dish out once this's all over, for now we've gotta figure out whats going on."
As for the plexan sun thing, er, y'know, all my characters obviously'd have defended themselves with magic and somesuch, ect, however they could.

Zaigen was knocked down flat by the wave. It was rather large, but that was nothing. From the ground, he looked to see the fish rearing in the distance, roaring or something. As it did so, a wave a hundred feet high rose and speed toward the shore. Zaigen looked around frantically. Were there any more civilians? He could see only one. It was a young Zarethian boy. The boy was a distance away, so he ran. He ran to the boy, and just as the wave reached the shoreline, he held the boy and took two spheres. Lucky for him, he had saved a great deal of innocent lives, and there were few (if any) civilians left.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reyky had been just sitting there, as the wave came crashing through the shore. So with one deep breath and a simple spell, he rode through the wave through as it swept away tons of people and demolished K2's house like a stack of cards.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Fluffy was surprised by the first wave, but the second one truly scared him. What could he do? He knew what he could do. But what about his friends? The only one he saw was Victoria, whom he jumped in front of. When the wave hit, he used all his might to breath fire directly into it: turning it to steam, or simply forcing it to either side of him.

OOC: It's actually Hikaru's post, but I'll go ahead and post this up now and she can post after me...
There WAS will inside the gate and arm alike. It was the will not only of Plex, but of the Guardians who created him, of the Rebel Embodiments, and of the countless mortal soldiers who fought alongside Plex. The will for the gate to remain in place was incredibly strong. The will for the arm to remain in place was even stronger.
It successfully absorbed the hands, not affected by them. The arm rose into the air and pounded its fist upon the ground once more as a second arm began to emerge from the gate. The water around the gate was boiling at incredibly hot temperatures now. Tidal waves rocked the ocean, much of the water crashing against the shore. The battle had started.
There must be someway out of here.
Nek was wondering around the battlefield now, scared out of his mind. He quickly got as far away from the fighting as he could, entering a portal and getting far away. He wasn't about to fight this... Thing. Even with a pistol, he would not stand a chance, and he knew it.
Said the joker to the thief.
"It's fine," KiaB replied, looking Keith straight in the eyes as his webs began to surround Kurai. "I don't think you would have been able to get past the embodiments anyway. I probably wouldn't have been able to either. For now, let's focus on getting rid of these four. Two of these are Anrufe operatives... Or at least, they were. I think I might need to reconsider their membership."
The fist's two impacts into the ground toppled KiaB over. He stood back up, trying to regain his balance as he fought against Kurai. He would leave the arm to the big guys. He couldn't possibly go up against it. It was way too strong.
There's too much confusion.
And then, the hundred foot wave hit the shore. A barrier was erected by the rest of the Anrufe, but it was too late. A lot of the water had already gotten onto the shore. A surge of water, though certainly not all 100 feet, rushed into the battlefield, coming straight towards K2323's house. K2323 quickly erected a second barrier to protect his house as the water spread out and dissipated, eventually finding its way back out to the ocean, but not without taking some of those still fighting with it.
I can't get no relief.
K2323 proudly held his Genesis Staff firmly in his hand, now finally moving from his pool onto the battlefield in his yard by the ocean. He looked out to the ocean in the distance, then to the battle unfolding around him. It seemed that these negi were the least of his worries, so he set off to help fight against the arm.
He unleashed bursts of Genesis Magic straight at the arm, trying to destroy it, but that had little affect. He had to concentrate most of his power on protecting himself from the shaking of the ground and the massive tidal waves. Even one of the Sage Three was having trouble against this thing. That had to say something.
Businessmen, they drink my wine.
Chal was not having near as much luck keeping himself stable from the water and shaking ground. He had been knocked on his butt a few times already. He decided to take a more proactive approach and try to call for help. He began concentrating all his magic on sending out a distress signal to friends like the Relorians.
Plowmen dig my Earth.
A storm was forming out on the horizon now. It was a massive hurricane of some sorts, laced with negative dimensional energy. When it was fully formed and when it reached the shore, it would cause unbelievable amounts of damage. It was growing larger and larger. A storm really was coming.
Nobody will level on his line, nobody offered his word.
White and Black were helping with the fight now, balls of Negative Genesis Magic forming in their hands, swirling. They combined their Negative Genesis Magic to form a dark-golden ball of swirling magic which they hurled towards the attackers of Kurai.

Reykjavik was pulled by the wave, but instead of depositing him on the land, it had swept him out to sea. He tried to grab thing after thing to slow his drift, but nothing came to his grasp. Lucky for him, he had washed onto an island. It was an island, it had to be. Right?
When he opened his eyes the one thing he noticed was another eye looking into his. He had washed onto the fish's head, and it quickly bucked him off. He was now deep in the water, and eyes glued to the gaping jaws speeding toward him. He tried to swim away, but it was to no avail. He thought frantically. He was going to die. He'd failed to get his revenge. Naralia had died in vein, and under the sea he couldn't even scream. That didn't stop him from trying though, as he tried to yelp, "No! Please stop!"
Everything seemed still. Reyky should have been dead by now, but when he opened his eyes, he saw one thing. The fish was looking into his eyes, mouth closed. Why would it be doing that?
Reyky looked at Naralia's gun. He was lucky he hadn't lost it in the draft. And he was lucky Naralia had been holding it. The gun emanated with glowing yellow magic; the same kind of magic Naralia had gained suddenly just before her death. The same kind that could bring life, and restoration.

Mr. Highway's Thinking About the End
I'll do whatever it takes to get it through to you, and well call this a day, We are not the same, You are worthless.
Nek gets tagged with a Portal Sphere, carting him away from the battlefield. UnStellar's eyes survey the field from his bird's eye view, everyone who remained were fighters. He recalled his portal spheres back to himself, hundreds of them filling his bag, as he descends from his high perch.
How long until the tables turn?
Staying a healthy distance off the shaking ground and dodging missed spells UnStellar takes a brief second to watch the chaos all around him, observing the enormous arms pounding the ground.
Like speaking in tongues...
With a deep breath and steady heart, UnStellar opens an enormous portal right in front of the gateway from which the arms sprung, sending the arms into a sun. The portal was one sided, facing only the arms. Everything in the path of the sun burned, the entire ocean began to boil. Any one in a vicinity of it would feel the heat.
DISRESPECT YOUR SURROUNDINGS.
He floats a little higher into the air. "You won't make it out alive." He whispers under his breath as portal spheres stream from his messenger bag.
-
Reyky put his hand on the fish's nose, and suddenly they saw one another's thoughts. The fish grasped onto Reykjavik's mind and instantaneously knew that the embodiments were evil.
OOC: Finish when I can. Sorry
-
With this recruitment at GLASS being successful Abaddon himself appeared on shore, followed by a stream of friendly Negis. It didn't take him long for raise an celestial sigil, biting into his own wrist, causing his white blood to spill on the ground. "These Negis are with me, these Negis are with existence as a whole! They are your brothers, treat them as so!" Abaddon cried out to the others here fighting Plex. The sigil grew brighter and brighter as more and more of his blood fell to the ground.
Orpheus roared in pain as his power was being absorbed..for a bit, until it started winning. The violet streaks in his bronze flame seemed to grow in intensity and strength, changing it from Plexan Fire to something different. Something stronger, something that couldn't be controlled by Plex. The gate and arm were being pulled into the violet and bronze sun now. His own negative energy started to strengthen the many Negis in the area, Kurai, the twins, and even Abaddon's army.
-
Continued...
The fish had one motive, to get the box and it's contents. The thing is, he wouldn't be able to replace things to their previous state without ending the sudden turn of events, so he turned, offering his back to Reykjavik. Reyky hesitated for a second, the climbed on, and cast a spell. The fish emerged from the water, suddenly able to breath and swim through air.
It was then that the sun burst began to form, but a convenient teleport helped them escape to the other side of the blast.
-
Black winds continued to blow, rushing at Dread and blowing his own breath back at him in large gusts of negative energy infused wind. Reaching out and wrapping around the fire it was if the wind had taken hold of it as it redirected it at its master and his rider. If the poor dragon didn't look out he would soon end up without a master.
Against the chaos the negative spirit energy was more than a match, far too negative already to be converted to chaos, instead it attempted to weaken the attack by drawing the chaos into its self and strike back with a much more powerful form of chaos, black chaos. This chaos didn't just attack things or cause them to be chaotic. Black chaos had a more harsh goal in mind. Any sentient creature it could infect would become filled with madness and start to lose their minds and become senseless with no direction to their attacks or defense.
This black chaos headed for Keith, absorbing his own chaos and converting it the more it encountered and attempted to infect him.
"If you're helping, fight off that mutant reptile and that chaos pest. The brat with the hat's mine!" More black stained flames materialized around Kurai as she snapped the commands at Black, White, and Cero who had just joined the attack. The scythe below burst into the same colored flames and instantly reformed back in Kurai''s hand as the scythe was never actually a physical weapon to begin with but just a mere manifestation of her magic and thus could be reformed at any given moment. "And what exactly is a Templar? Oh! wait! I don't care!" Kurai slashed the scythe forward a slew of black-stained silver flames were sent in waves at Jay.
The black tendrils of negative spirit energy also now aimed their attacks at Jay and threaded themselves around the two fighters in a webbed net of black energy enclosing the area from the rest of the battle so as not to let it be interrupted. The negative spirit energy began to absorb what energy it could from inside, even Kurai's, though it didn't affect her much due to the empowering from Plex and Orpheus and the negative energy all around them. But for her opponent? The area should have been causing things to get a lot more weaker.
In the safety of her barrier which would hold for a while, Inari stood thinking. What was it that her former teacher had said would defeat negate negative energy? The young fox sage couldn't quite remember as she thought back to the lessons in magic she had been taught.
-
"I love when people don't know what I can do." The Templar smiled, waiting for the attacks to very almost reach him. With seemingly no warning, Jay and Kurai switched places; Her own attacks were about to hit her. Urgh... Draining. Uncool. Jay thought, feeling the effects of the area Gotta make this quick. And no audience, how could she be so da- JUST FUCKING KILL HER. FREEZE HER AND CUT HER UP. HOW ARE YOU SUCH AN IDIOT? The dark voice was growing stronger in Jay's head but for now, he could hold it back.
-
"Got it," White and Black simultaneously agreed, focusing all their attention on Keith. They began to release blasts of swirling white energy at Keith, chaotic grins on their faces. They were fighting a comrade. They were fighting one of the Anrufe.
The portal... Actually worked.
With the arms severed from what was beyond the gate, a piercing, deep scream resounded throughout the battlefield from beyond the gate. Black blood splattered all across the battlefield and began to burn through everything it touched.
-
Kurai had been caught by surprise with that tactic. But even then, it didn't stall her. She wasn't one to stop what she was doing and just stand in shock. Reaching forward with her hand, Kurai formed a spell circle in midair of magenta energy before her own attacks could hit. The circle, which was large in size and encompassed the entire area in front of Kurai was simple in design and only consisted of two rings. The outer ring which was what shaped the circle, and the inner ring which is what caught the attacks.
Another circle of the same type formed above Jay. Only, this circle had one thing different about it which was four runes. One rune on each side of the center circle. These were dull unlike the glow of the circle its self. Out of the second circle, the attacks which were caught by the first spell circle fell downward.
The area seemed to be picking up speed as it drained energy, more and more being trained per second. But where was the energy going?
High above the area, a black shape was forming. To an outside viewer it was blurry and distorted. But if one were to look closer, they would see the faded outline of a soon to be formed egg. And it was pulsing.
-
As the attacks came down upon Jay, they seemed to recede into nothingness as they came close to him. They'd been literally rewound into nothingness. Jay was getting tired, unlike the common magic user Jay's power source was himself; More often than not it could be any aspect of himself but Jay normally chose to use his energy. With that being drained from him AND his skills using them too, it was truly exhausting.
Freeze. Kill. FREEZE AND KILL YOU IDIOT. YOU DIE I DIE JUST FUCKING KILL.
The Templar raised his hand, he would have to make this fast. It was getting harder and harder not to ignore the dark voice within his mind.
Kurai would have noticed her energy suddenly draining faster....Much, much faster. The truth was that around her, time had suddenly become much faster.
At the same time, Jay slowed time for himself; Slowing the effect of the area and allowing him considerably greater reaction time.
-
The moment the circle above Jay was rewound it reformed its self. And if it should be rewound again it would once again reform, going on line that in a cycle. The first rune of the circle glowed as it did this, the rune being that of the symbol of Reconstruction. The magic of the circle being that of an enchantment that programmed the circle of its own will and gave it its own energy instead of controlled where the spell caster had to keep expending effort, energy and their will to keep it cast. Normally enchantments would be weak compared to controlled spells. But this one was fueled by the negative energy from around rather than Kurai's own energy.
The second rune of the circle, across from the other rune started to glow. When it did, its effect became clear as anything within the radius of the circle would suffer paralysis. Such was the meaning of the second rune, Immobility.
Kurai barely noticed the drop in energy. Given the fact that they were fighting on a planet that was filled to the skies with Negative Energy and fueled by it from Plex as well as the other Negi it gave her an endless supply to draw from. Of course, she would eventually run out. But for the time being she took no notice.
The egg, however, began to pulse much stronger, the vibrations from the energy being fed into it causing the air around to spark.
-
It was clear Kurai's power was not going to falter any time soon and even with a slowed rate, Jay's energy was beginning to fade. "I'm getting sick of this" Jay growled, lifting a hand to his chest. He glowed silver for a moment and rewound himself to restore his energy.
As Jay himself rewound, as did the area around them; The tendrils literally deforming from around them back to where they were before. Several versions of Jay appeared, surrounding Kurai entirely; They all raised a hand towards the Negi and shot Temporal Bolts, supersped through time directly at Kurai.
As they all disappeared, Jay himself disappeared and reappeared a few meters behind Kurai. While the circle had seemed to stay, it had instead been frozen in time.
-
Black energy enveloped Kurai before the bolts good hit, the same Negative Spirit Energy thus the same effects as the tendril made net had. The black energy absorbed the bolts and and in a split second later Kurai was gone. The blackness having swallowed the bolts and faded.
"Not so cocky now, are yooou?" Kurai cat called from above, her voice cackling in the still roaring black winds. She stood atop the now violently pulsing egg on the very tip of it, her wings keeping her balanced and grounded from the wind. Crossing her arms, Kurai smirked from her perch. It seems we forgot introductions." Her eyes rolled. "Or you just weren't worth my time for me to listen. But that's no fun is it? Not when I'm about to destroy you after all. My counterpart would be ashamed of me for not mentioning this. So humor me." Kurai frowned then spoke up.
"I am Kurai Tyris, Negi of Hikaru Tyris of the Sage Three. The Three most powerful magic users in existence and descended heirs to the Geneiss and Phoenix Kingdoms. Royalty of the Sages." Kurai took the scythe in her hand and gently dropped it on the egg, blade first. "Know your place brat." The scythe fell into the egg and cracked it, the blade cutting the edge of the shell.
This was enough to start the hatching. Continuing to pulse violently from the crack in the egg mist poured and a torrent of Negative energy mixed with a hint of Time energy from the bolts rushed out of the egg. This torrent of energy had one small little difference to it than what it had been, however; It was alive.
Kurai had used the drained energy from the two of them to create an incarnation. A very roughly made and undeveloped incarnation. But still, an incarnation. An incarnation that had tasted the energy of time. And guess what? I wanted more and knew the source of it.
The incarnation of the mixed energies flew at Jay. Its form distorted and given no definite shape.
-
"Brat, huh?" Jay grinned. A being of time energy? She surely wasn't stupid enough to...Yes, it was clear that she was.
As the creature roared towards him, Jay continued to smile heartily at it. "Like I said. Jay Stryder, last Templar." He grinned as it came closer and closer "Hundreds upon thousands of years old." It came closer still "First documented rebel of the Templar order." It was at it's closest to hitting him "Manipulator of Time itself."
With that, he and Kurai swapped places once more.
"And first class badass. Know your place, bitch."
With that, Jay's eyes glowed a perfect silver colour as he raised his hands; Silver tendrils blaring from his whole body into the creature. After all, a creature that was half Time was a creature that a Templar could control...A creature a Templar could infact speed into his opponent at breakneck speed.
-
The redirected breath attacks might've had a real affect, had they hit the Dracolich's Mistress. However, the undead dragon was more than able to dodge them all, able to see the corruption in the air as though plain as day. Not just the corrupting breath he created, but also the negative energy all around him, which seemed to strengthen the winged foe. And so...Perhaps he could do something about that.
He breathed once more, a different corruption forming within it this time. This time it wasn't directed at the winged creature, but at the corruption around them in general. And its goal?
It bonded with the negative energy, corrupting the energy as much as it itself was corrupted by it. It broke down the energy, forcing it to bond with itself, eating it up and being corrupted by it. As it was corrupted, it wouldn't do anything after...But it was preventing the negative energy from giving power to the foes. Lauren also pulled out her book, which while she couldn't actually read it gave her necromancy more power, and was about to bind the harpy in place with skeletal arms in order to stop her from dodging the attack sent by the apparent Templar, when a shot rang out and almost hit her.
Cero fired the shot, saying,"What do you think yer doin', goin' after her? Poor form, ingnorin' anoth'r combatant. She said for me to take care ah you twos, an' Imma gonna take care ah you reeeeaaaaaal nicely."
The 'Black Chaos', in truth, wasn't actually doing anything Chaos didn't do already. Chaos was the force which empowered instinct, which created wildness, though it was also that which allowed life. Of course, too much Chaos, and intelligence would be destroyed, regressing one mentally into a wild animal; such was what Chaos did. Keith himself wasn't a normal being, wasn't even truly alive, all he was would be a sentient mass of Chaotic energy. This 'Black Chaos' was no more harsh than normal Chaos in truth, just had a different master.
And even if it were negative, NOTHING is too negative to corrupt if you have enough power.
Keith began by opening Chaos Warps within himself, drawing the pure, raw Chaos from the pocket dimension and infusing it within himself, while tying the portals to him, and not the location, meaning they'd move with him and keep pouring more and more Chaos into him. With the advent of this raw power, he moved to dodge the former Chaos, and the white blasts, his body moving so fast that it wouldn't be able to be seen, just a blur of red. He recognized the two, barely, and grinned a bit himself. "Traitors, eh? You know what happens to traitors, dont you?"
Instantly, he was behind them, his arms a guillotine blade. He then created the part that holds the prisoner's head in place jutting out from his shoulders, capturing them both by wrapping it around their necks, and slamming them together in order to behead them both at the same time.
"Traitors are executed!" He yelled, as the blade dashed down and lopped off their heads.
As well, he was right below them, for he'd split his body in order to better fight. Not a cloning, for it was his same mind that controlled both bodies, yet damage upon one wouldn't affect the other, nor his mind in the least. It'd be like losing a arm; he'd feel it, and it wouldn't be pleasant, but overall he'd be fine. Both of them had Chaos being infused into them by the Chaos Warps, and so they were both gaining strength. If that 'Black Chaos' were to touch them, there wouldn't be enough power in them to override him not enough to corrupt him. No...He'd remove the impurity, corrupt it itself into Chaos, and take the Chaos back. He was Keith Bane, Incarnation of Chaos itself. Nothing was too negative to be corrupted by Chaos if he brought his full power, the power of Chaos itself, down upon it.
-
White and Black just barely dodged the blade, on the ground now, defenseless. They braced for another attack from Keith, having been taken off guard, when the ground's shaking stopped, surprising them...
And then, the gate in the water began to shatter into a million pieces. As each piece broke off, it glowed with the brightest light imaginable. The pieces of light breaking off from the gate all levitated up into the air, miles high, and came together, meshing and melting over each other... The gate turned into a portal, high above in the sky, and from it, thousands of rebel embodiments surged out, flooding the area with emotions, changes in nature... Everything.
But then, another portal formed in the air opposite to the rebel portal. From it, loyalist embodiments flew out to fight the rebel embodiments. In the skies above Shore, the war finally came to a peak. The embodiments were about to fight the last battle of the war, just as the mortals were fighting.
On the ground, a purple haze began to surround K2323. He yelled out to Kurai.
"NEGI! Stop this fighting now... Settle your differences later. You know as well as any that even you must help us now. Here me, all of you! NOW is the time to fight! NOW is the time to fight for victory, for all that we know..."
From the water, several figures began to rise up and approach the land. The mortal army of Plex, made up of negi, recruited mortals, and various others were now coming to destroy everything and everyone whom they could get their hands on. Many of them had metallic, red chrome faces and black cloaks -- abducted soldiers by Anarchy who had been put into trances and forced to fight.
In the sky directly above K2323, there was a red glint. K2323 looked up to it, his eyes now set on it, and then his voice amplified throughout the entire battlefield.
"I NEED THE STRONGEST AND MOST WILLING OF YOU TO FOLLOW ME! ONLY FOLLOW ME IF YOU ARE PREPARED! THE REST OF YOU, STAY, AND FIGHT OFF THIS ARMY!"
A purple aura surrounded K2323 entirely now, and he jumped off the ground and flew straight up, into the red glint in the sky.
-
In a light appeared the Devil and his four riders, War, Famine, Conquest, and Death.
They were followed by an army comprised of any entity that wished for the defense of the dimensional plane, loyalist Negis, mortals of every race, Embodiments, Angel and Demons, Lorcar and Zarethian. They clashed with the rebel Embodiments and their forces, with so many changes and the world being manipulated, it would be pointless to give details on what was going on. You wouldn't understand it, just know, that it was awesome, really, really awesome.
The artificial sun in the sky seemed to sink and be reabsorbed into Orpheus' body, his eyes now bronze with slight streaks of violet on the inside. He followed K2, with Koty and his sons close behind.
-
The black chaos however was too negative as that was the very nature of nature of negative energy to corrupt any and everything including chaos. And Negative Spirit Energy? Even worse. Beings that used that were cursed beings for their entire life, it was NOT something for a mere mortal to mess around with as it costed them price after price. And for the black chaos, which was comprised of both chaos and negative spirit energy. The same rules applied. It WAS different. Where Chaos could be good or bad depending on the nature of the user, black chaos could be nothing but pure sinful chaos bent on corrupting and driving into madness anything it could infect. And its target this time around was Keith which it followed like a lion stalking its prey. Everywhere that Chaos went, the Black Chaos was sure to follow.
For the created abomination, true, it had time energy, but it also had negative energy. In fact, the time energy was only but a hint in the mass of negative energy that created it. If the draining effects had been allowed to continue that might have changed as both fighters would have an equal amount of energy stolen from them. But because Kurai's energy had been drained in masses compared to opponents, negative energy is what constructed most of it. So in the battle of control of the half-formed incarnation, Kurai had the upper hand.
Black fought silver as the side of the creature that was composed of negative energy sought to overrule the side of time energy, seeking to corrupt it and changes its path of attack. With this turn of events the creature was stuck half way between them unable to serve two masters at the same time but being controlled by both.
"Why you little-!" Kurai growled, clearly annoyed, but then stopped. Time? So that was it... In that case.. Kurai flew upward, higher into the sky and stayed there, suspended in midair and looking down. Holding both hands out to her side she flicked them once and black threads shot out from every direction around at Jay. Scarlet flames flickered into life and danced across the threads at the same time as they became laced with a more dangerous fuschia colored fire that had the odd similarity to the white-blue Spirit Fire. Only this was a different color, a negative form.
"Shut up Dragon!" Kurai spat at K2323. "I care nothing for your war. Now that my counterpart has gone and gotten herself erased from existence, there's nothing stopping me from destroying you as well. I'll just let Plex have first dibs." Kurai turned her attention back to Jay and controlling her attack.
-
"You know what? You're actually boring me." The Templar smiled, opening his arms entirely as the silver stream of power from his body broke and the flames, bonds and the incarnation began to rewind into nothingness. Literally all of Kurai's attacks turned into nothing before him.
"Normally, I fight nice and fair but hey, you ain't even worth freezing and taking down that way." A cocky grin came across Jay's face as he suddenly appeared before Kurai. If she tried to lash at him she would find herself incapable of movement; Jay had sealed her body.
"You know, you're kinda cute for...Whatever the fuck you are." He teased her; The Templar was 'poking the bull' so to speak "Shame that you're just so damn...Evil. You get to live this time." He smiled heartily as he then revealed "You may notice I sealed your movement in time, funny thing about that art is that it requires I tie it to something. I tied the duration to my departure which will be...Soon."
He called out to Inari "Sorry to leave ya hanging and just sort of sat there. Won't happen again. Care to join me in kicking some ass?" He began laughing as he floated away with K2323. That was fun! ...Wonder what that voice was about though.... The Templar thought as he floated into the red glint... He was tired though, it was hard to tie down such a powerful magic user yet he was more tired than he should have been...He felt like something was missing from himself.
Far below, in the midst of the battle stood a lone Negi; Not on either side, merely attacking and killing whatever he could. He had been born during his counterpart's battle.
His name was Shift and he was highly disappointed with EVERYTHING in this area. Disappointed with his counterpart for being an idiot and not using his full power. Disappointed with his fellow Negi for being incapable of defeating an idiot Templar at such a low level and generally disappointed with the war fought around him.
Shift had all of the power of a Negi and most of the power of a Templar. He was perfection in his eyes.
SCOUT was defending itself before deciding to follow the organics floating towards the red glint; The battle they were to fight seemed to be much more interesting.

Kurai had had it. Unfortunately she couldn't do anything at the moment about the pent up rage that made her just want to snap and rip the head off that twerp and silence him for good. So to calm herself she envisioned it instead. Down to every last detail of how it would happen. When he was in front of her, she did the only think she could do at this point and spit at him. "You're dead next time we meet! Dead! Dead! Dead!" Kurai repeated herself for emphasis.
Dropping the barrier around herself, Inari jumped into the air and joined the rest of them in going for the red glint, careful to avoid Kurai who was swearing and cursing every second now. "I remember now!" Inari said when she had caught up the rest. "To beat Plex we need the Outerverse, it's Plex's opposite and probably the only place unaffected by Plex."
-
Jay smiled, wiping Kurai's spit from his face "Oh i'm such an endearing bastard." He laughed heartily, floating up.
"Inari. Sorry for just abandoning you there." He smiled to her "Outerverse that place we met up yeah? I'm happy going wherever so long as we can take out Plex."
-
K2323 looked down at the two as they all floated into the red light. "I... I never thought of that. Hikaru probably didn't even know why the Outerverse could beat Plex, but it's true... We will have to go there. But not yet. Now, it's time to go to war."
He looked to the rest of those following him. "Get ready... Everyone."
And then, he flew into the red light which wrapped around him, and he vanished from Shore. The red light remained for the rest to follow.
OOC: Okay, we're going to a new topic for all those characters who go into the light. For everyone else, this topic will still be very active as it's where the war is going on. If anyone else wants to come into the red light, feel free to follow and join the new topic at any time.
-
"Hey Kurai, next time we meet you better be packing something stronger than a magic circle and an incarnation I can control!" Jay shouted to the trapped Negi before following suit, entering the light.
SCOUT followed after them aswell, it was interested in seeing the flying organics.
Shift was enjoying himself killing whoever came too close to him, laughing maniacally. He was getting a sick pleasure from causing so much pain and was truly embracing having his own body.

Zumi tumbled out of a dark hole that appeared from no where. She didn't recall going through any sort of hole but that's where she came out of when she fell against Shore. "Oompf." she grumbled as she slid a bit, her arm tugging at the hasty stitches on her shoulder. Catching her breath Zumi pulled herself up with one arm and readjusted her other one before pulling her entire body off of the ground. Her brained rattled against her skull and she could feel a headache forming as she looked around.
-
"Mistress Hikaru told me everything the other Mistress Hikaru told her as she learned in case something happened in the battle with Animas. But I lost telepathic contact shortly after the start of the battle," Inari responded to K2323 as she followed suit.
When Kurai could move again, the first thing she did was swear aloud and scream in rage. Flames erupted around her, black, fuchsia, magenta, dark purple, and every other negative colored flame that Kurai could control. This fire burned and consumed her figure till she was just a shadow in the mess of inferno that roared in the sky.
Flames flickered in every direction and took shape forming themselves in to feathers. The first to form were the short secondaries followed soon after by the longer primaries and last the elongate tail feathers and shorter plumage. When the flames had died out. There in the sky was a bird that resembled an eagle but was the size of a capital ship with black talons and beak, purple plumage with tips of magenta, piercing gold eyes. Kurai's true form. That of a Negi Phoenix.
The phoenix gave one high shriek and then dived downward, talons out in attack on any and everything, flames of every negative color trailing behind in its stead. Kurai was pissed and this time she would take it out on anything possible.
-
Scattered portal spheres activated, diverging the flames to other dimensions, pockets and otherwise. Four spheres circles UnStellar, protecting him from the flames as he floated near the massive bird.
"Hey! You! With the feathers! You and me sweetie." He shouted to her, bracing for her move.
-
Zumi felt Kurai rush past her in a blurry of anger and dispute. "What the fuck?" Zumi hissed as she reached out and snatched Kurai, or attempted to, by the back of her shirt.
-
"Oooh, looks like he angered her." Shift began to laugh, taking down one after another on either side; To anyone paying attention or knew what temporal energy was it would appear that Shift was literally creating it to augment his negative powers, launching purple and silver fireballs from himself into those around him.
-
The embodiment battle was surging in the sky now. Embodiments were falling left and right, casualties of war. Many of them would not have a heir come to take power for many years. It was quite the massive display. Losses on both sides were quickly piling up as forces exploded in mid-air everywhere you looked.
The mortal army reached land now and began to slay everything in sight. Even those who had once been friends of those fighting on Shore were now enemies, under trance of Plex and Anarchy. K2323's two sons, for example, were among those under Anarchy's trance, fighting their father's friends and allies. Everyone would find it very strange fighting their own kin and blood or friends.
-
The loyalist Negis under the command of Abaddon met the mortal army head on, backed by Koty's own mortal army. It was complete and utter chaos, hundreds were dying by the minute.
-
Kurai merely ignored the pest that was Unstellar and went about her rage. She was pissed. And anyone she could get at would know it.
Eventually when she had killed enough people, Kurai grew bored but still kept to her rage. She needed a different target to take it out on! Screw this war. She would take it out on innocents! With that thought, Kurai still in her capital-sized phoenix form, disappeared. She would wreak havoc elsewhere.
