The Landlocked Lighthouse

[K2]

OOC: I'm gonna make a new forum for Jay and K2323 now. Also, Hawk, James wouldn't notice anyone going slower, just Lucas going faster. Time is relative.

[Zero]

OOC: Okay, will edit.

[K2]

"That... That man. He's going... A lot faster than us," the commander agreed as he kept walking towards the stairs, "We need t-"

He passed right through the edge of the time dialation barrier, his head pounding. He looked back to see his troops, practically suspended in motion, James included. What was going on? Why were they... Why were they not moving? He looked up the staircase and saw Lucas standing there. Had this man frozen his troops!? Was he the one that he had orders to detain?

"YOU, THERE! IDENTIFY YOURSELF!"

[Zero]

Instead of identifying himself, Lucas held out his hand and made a massive fire ball above it which he lobbed at the general of these forces. These forces would not be allowed to hurt his friends K2323 or Jay and he would see to it they never did. Not now, and not in the future. So his attack of course would be one meant to destroy his enemies in one foul swoop. But see, this was not your ordinary fire ball as it had something else at the center of it. If someone, say the general were to try and take control they would get infected by a parasite that Lucas had found out about. One that fed off of magic. A small thing and one that would painfully drain every last bit of magic from the person.  Fortunately, heat made the creature dormant specifically the extreme heat of the fire ball.

[K2]

A wall of water rose up in front of the general.

[Zero]

The water hit the fire, which was far hotter than ordinary flames. Still, it did put out the flame and so the parasite went at the general, in an attempt to devour his magical signature. Seeing as how the general was the one actively using magic and Lucas was not, this did not bode well for the general. The parasite looked sort of like a centipede from earth except with more jagged spikes. It also had more teeth and each of the legs was barbed and contained a poison that would block the ability to use magic. The parasite was one that Lucas had come up with and created on his own, a creature of magic but also one meant to eliminate ones who could use magic.  Fortunately, the creature could not sense Lucas as Lucas had purposely suppressed his signature to as low as he possibly could get. The creature devoured the magic used to make the water, causing it to fade into non-existence and then rushed at the general. Lucas sighed.

[K2]

"DIE YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" the General yelled at the top of his lungs, throwing fire ball after fire ball -- not at the parasite -- but directly at Lucas. It was black fire. It began to engulf Lucas entirely. The General jerked out of the path of the parasite and rushed towards Lucas, his hand outstretched and lit with red energy. He was going to kill this motherfucker.

[Zero]

But when he fired the black fire, Lucas held out his hand and a wall of portals opened. These would absorb the black fire, and open up right behind the General coating him with his own attack. This would of course make the parasite come at him even faster. The Parasite shifted directiopn and headed not at Lucas, but at the general. See, Lucas was playing it smart. He was keeping his magic weaker for the most part than that of the General. It would mean of course he would be at a dis-advantage should the general have backup.  "How about no?"

[K2]

But the general's form itself became another portal which outputted right behind Lucas. Both the parasite and fire went through the portal, and was being directed right at Lucas, and he couldn't control either now.

[Zero]

But when the portal opened behind him Lucas just disappeared. As if he had switched places with one of his androids that had went to another part of the tower. The parasite could not burrow into the android and so ignored it. It turned it?s attention instead to the black fire and consumed the magic of it, growing in size now to the size of a house. The parasite then rushed at the General once more. Lucas was elsewhere in the facility, headed towards the containment.

[K2]

But by now, it was too late... The general was gone. The entire tower was going up in flames now. Something had caught fire, and it was spreading, burning. It had no target, it was simply black fire, wild. It was burning, and would soon engulf everything within the tower.

[Zero]

Lucas turned himself into white water, extinguishing the flames entirely at the cost of his own life. James quickly teleported away.
