(Nis, both Niiv's avatar and the actual Niiv are outside...)

"Very well. Let us -"

And that's when all hell broke lose. The cracking was not destroying the Spirit Realm. But the crack did become incredibly huge.... And out of it, huge, black vines began to fly outwards, wrapping themselves around the suspended spirits, and pulling them into the cracks. By now, it was a full scale Earthquake in the room.

"What is going ON out there!?" Black demanded, hopping down from his podium and running towards the door to examine what was happening.

"Oh dear," the White Judge commented, "I fear it may be too late."

(OOC: Deletrius isn't supposed to be ruled over or known about by the embodiments unless one has been there. It's supposed to be a complete accidental thing. And no, because of that, portals will NOT remain open for very long, just long enough for the person casting it to leave with who they have. Fix it. )

"No! No! Give them back! Their mine!" shouted Niiv.

"Everyone! What I'm about to do is too save everyone in the god damned room! No one fight it! Let it happen!" Jack yelled as the spirit realm began to crumble. With one quick motion he ripped his eyepatch off, and the eye beneath it was very far from ordinary. It was an empty space. Not an empty socket, an empty space. A void where his eye was meant to be. It was a gateway to the Void; the only current one in existence. "Just a warning! This'll hurt!" Jack informed before the darkness in his eye expanded rapidly. Everything that was caught in the blackness would find itself in the void nearly instantly.

The Void appeared to be nothing more than an infinitely large gray room. The spirits that weren't taken, and the occupants in the room were all in a relative circle. "Everyone got all their limbs!? I had to move us quick so if I left anything behind I apologize." Jack laughed as he put his patch back on.

"YOU WILL NOT RUIN THIS FOR ME!" Niiv screamed. He then used his anger and knowledge of teleportation to unfix as many dead spirits as he could. They wouldn't unfreeze or anything, but they would be unstuck enough to get sucked out of his portals into the vacuum of space.

And hey, they were already dead! What did they have to loose?

The Reaper, who'd been very silent thus far, looked at Niiv with the orange glow he had for eyes. He reached out his Scythe at the fallen Angel, and the murkish, liquid darkness that made the Reaper up spread towards it...Not that the Reaper would easily be seen in the near-lightless Void. As the shadows approached him, his power would begin to fail. The Reaper had many powers at its disposal to ensure that it could ferry souls from the Living Realm to one of the Spirit Realms. With South gone, the Reaper's usual method was gone, yes...But it still had a few others, such as interfering and blocking the power that another spiritual being was using. Nevermind abilities for when he was tasked with actually bringing other Celestial beings to the Judges, whether they wanted to or not. Additionally, as the Reaper went for Niiv, the lesser Reapers(all of various make and fashion sense, of course; while created by the Reaper himself most were not similar to him in form) set about knitting Niiv's portals shut and sealing off the Realm of the Living from his power.
"Thou shalt stop thy folly. Things greater than we both transpire at this time. Deign to cause more havoc, and I shall rend thy soul in twain."

((And before ANYONE says it, you ALL know what I mean by soul. That is hopefully all that will be said on this matter. Razzin frargit))

Ragnar the Red · « **Reply #31 on:** October 22, 2012, 08:11:08 PM »

"Haha! I doubt that farmer boy!" yapped Niiv. Even though his current spells were wearing him out, and he most certainly wouldn't be able to fight back, he still pretended like he was the greatest thing in the universe since... the universe!

Nisorin · « **Reply #32 on:** October 23, 2012, 12:38:17 AM »

Leirra looks around, smiling. "Well now, how long has it been..." She muses, her hand held open to the Void, the material comprising it seeming to shift about her hand like a dog nuzzling it's human. "Relax. This is not the first time this has happened, merely the grandest scale. The vines are taking the departed spirits to the worlds of the Living. Zombies, Ghosts, Poltergeists, Wisps, reflections, there are many occurances of this all over Existence. They will return when they are good and ready, Judges. For now, I'd say enjoy a break. How long has it been now since you've had free time?" She says, looking at them all in turn. "Fallen Angel, former follower of Eli. This was going to happen with or without your interference. It is a natural thing, and you need to learn how a true prank is done. You're little more than a mischievous child." She turns now, to the Reaper.

"Your duty is to the Dead, guiding them to their fate. But this is their fate. This was meant to happen, and if you interfere, I shall devour you myself." She says, smiling to him with the slightly deranged grin of an immortal who'd lived far longer than sanity could hold. "I must admit, your kind have a bit more earthy flavor than I'm used to, but you make for quite the intriguing delicacy."

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #33 on:** October 23, 2012, 02:41:58 PM »

The Reaper looks around at his various lessers in the room, all numbering in total less than a hundred, then turns back to the Embodiment. The glow-eye-things showed extreme bemusement in addition to their usual melancholy.

"Only two of my children are missing, Embodiment. One of those is only not here because one must keep track of the death in the living realm, even if not yet guide the souls. The other I know for a fact is not dead, though I admit that I am unaware her location nor trade in this age. It intrigues me that thou wouldst boast of something that I know is false. It matters little, however. I owe thou no loyalty nor fear, Embodiment. If thou art to be my slayer, then so shall be in time. Besides, Embodiment...How often is a soul ready to come to the realm of Spirits to begin with? How often is it that any soul has nothing left in the material world? I do guide them to the Judges, and I do give second chances on circumstance, but when I do guide them I am rarely to wait until any are 'good and ready'."

Nisorin · « **Reply #34 on:** October 23, 2012, 05:04:29 PM »

Leirra laughs, ringing through the area like fingertips on crystal. "Embodiment? Yes, I suppose that would be what you would recognize me as... In any case, little Reaper, this event will come to pass. I'm afraid there is little you and yours can do about it. If you had acted earlier you could have prevented it, but unfortunately it's too late." She says, walking right up to him. Standing before him in a simple red dress, looking almost entirely mortal, she throws her hand to the Void, shifting it, shaping it to her desire. "This is merely the beginning, reaper. Watch, and learn what will soon come to pass..." She adds, the strange material compressing itself into a sort of glass, first showing all of the Universe, quickly zooming on on a lone planet, where the boundaries between the physical and Spirit planes were already thinned even before this calamity.

Ragnar the Red · « **Reply #35 on:** October 23, 2012, 09:32:43 PM »

Real. Prank.

This made Niiv completely irate. Who did she think she was? Who did she think she was talkning to. This was the man who had guided the Lorcar through highly populated planets for the fun of watching. This was a guy who created races through pure unadulterated chaos. This was the guy who had allegedly told every Narrikian commander ever that attacking was a good idea. This guy was, in fact, a REAL prankster, and she had looked at him like releasing the contents of Hell upon the world was a mere teepee. This guy was not going to simply let her off the hook.

Now, what was probably what Niiv should have done to solidify his prank was alter the magic leading the dead to undeath, but he was irate. He imagined the worst possible place in the universe he could think of, reached out his hand, and formed a portal beneath her to it. Unfortunately, he was very tired at this point, and the portal he made at her foot was not big enough to fit a person through. But it was big enough to fit a foot through, and thus, there would be a unanimous collapse, but no damage whatsoever.

Nisorin · « **Reply #36 on:** October 23, 2012, 11:24:36 PM »

Leirra dips a bit to that side, her toes sinking in before she caught herself and hovered. "Really? That's all you could do? Drop the ground out from under just one foot? That's a toddler trick." She says, clearly disappointed. "Well, payback calls for equal effort." She says, shrugging as he turns into a randomized herbivore 8 inches tall, covered in fur with three legs, six ears, four eyes and two noses.

"Children, children, please," the Black Judge complained, looking at the grey room that the Void had presented itself in, "Calm down. There's nothing more we can do but wait this out." He walked up to one of the spirits that had been saved, poking it's frozen form before looking around at who all was present. "Wait... Where's the White Judge?"

--

In the Spirit Realm, meanwhile, the shaking and collapsing and chaos all stopped as the last of the spirits were absorbed into the cracks, which proceeded to close. With the Spirit Realm now completely empty, it began to repair itself, fixing the cracks and damages. It was easier to do this with nobody in the Spirit Realm, and when it was done repairing itself, it would enter a sort of 'hibernation' mode as the blue skies grew black with the tint of night.

The Spirit Realm had temporarily shut down, and as of now, the dead were free -- except for those few lucky ones who had been rescued by Jack, and the ones who had been judged in their time of death worthy of entering the North. Everything was quiet for the first time in a long, long time. As for the dead? They would find themselves back in their bodies, seemingly restored. Seemingly.

Ragnar the Red · « **Reply #38 on:** October 24, 2012, 05:42:17 PM »

Niiv, tired, and on the ground, missed everything Lierra had to say. As he shank to an eight inch animal, all hsi effects stayed the same size, and mad things very confusing for him. It was really dark underneath all the clothing, but for some reason he could still see everything. Now that he thought about it, he could hear and smell everything as well. And why did he have a sudden craving for bamboo?

Holy crap, I'm a panda bear on a pogo stick! Niiv thought to himself. The longer he sat there, the more he put things together. He was six inch panda bear with two arms, one leg, and sensory organs all over his body. Why? he thought, which was hard to do, given how exhasted he was.

But wait, he remembered, I have a remedy for this! Niiv spent the next three minutes trying to make it to his effects, but once he made it there, he was able to find what he needed with relative ease. It was a tiny bottle labeled 5 Year Energy. He showed the cap the 'bear' in 'panda bear,' then spent the next four minutes drinking it down.

"Don't worry about it Judge. You'll see em soon enough." Jack murmured slightly before every other entity in the room disappeared, minus the dead. They had been forcefully expunged from the Void; thrown back into a random place in existence.

The floor seemingly reached up to grab the Judge; the gray material moving like liquid before hardening around the Judge's leg's and arms.

"You should of taken my offer."

Nisorin · « **Reply #40 on:** October 26, 2012, 01:15:48 AM »

Leirra disappears, a single letter left in her wake for the Reaper.

K2 · « **Reply #41 on:** October 26, 2012, 11:55:10 AM »

Looking down at the material as it started to cover his limbs, the Black Judge was more than alarmed. Preparing to respond, he realized it'd be useless here, seeing as he wasn't even in his own plane of existence anymore. The only thing left to do was embrace the Void and let it become a part of him.

One problem.

"You should know," he said aloud to nobody in particular, "If your plan is to control me so you can judge the dead to your will, it won't work. You'll have to take the Spirit Realm to be able to judge the dead. My abilities are useless here. You really don't think the embodiments would be stupid enough to just grant us that kind of responsibility without any limits, did you?"

He grinned as the mallet that had been tucked away firmly in his robe pockets broke free. Growing and pulsing red, it started to hammer it's way through the Void liquid. This was no ordinary mallet. This was a Judge's Mallet, a supercharged mallet with powers granted by Creation. While it would be utterly useless when it came to judgement if not used in the Spirit Realm, it was still a very strong weapon.

King Kota · « **Reply #42 on:** October 27, 2012, 12:21:16 PM »

And the mallet disappeared alongside the other visitors, but this was not just a fight between the Judge and Jack..he was in the dead center of the Void. He'd be fighting the world around him, the very air, space, and dimensional structure was all his enemy.

"Control you? No..such a primitive tactic wouldn't work. You're a strong willed entity, and I'd break you before I'd ever gain full control over your spirit. You are to be devoured..rendered down to your most basic slightly conscious form before the Void absorbs you and all that you are." Jack laughed as the gray material started to force it's way inside the Judge's body. Through pores, under fingernails, eyes, and mouths.

"Your sacrifice is appreciated."

Ragnar the Red · « **Reply #43 on:** October 27, 2012, 08:40:54 PM »

Niiv shifted back into an angelic form, then became invisible. He was not going to make himself open to harm again. His apparition, however, he was just fine with expending, and used it to speak out. "HEY! Skanky girl in the red dress!" he said. "You think polymorphism is the work of an infant? I've known egg cells who could make a spell like that permanent! Maybe I should introduce them to you: they might be able to get rid of those zits for you. Or even make you pretty! I know you have a heart of stone and all, but it's something to consider!"

Nisorin · « **Reply #44 on:** October 29, 2012, 01:37:19 AM »

Unfortunately, Leirra had already left when the others were ejected.

Ragnar the Red · « **Reply #45 on:** October 29, 2012, 12:54:11 PM »

Niiv sat for a second, waiting for a reply. Eventually it became exceedingly apparent: she hadn't simply disappeared, but actually left the premises. Dammit, he swore to himself. Now what?

K2 · « **Reply #46 on:** October 30, 2012, 11:31:38 AM »

A smile spread across the Black Judge's face as he realized what was happening. The Void wouldn't find it so easy to enter into his body. Sure, he was in the Void, but he wasn't from the Void. He began to reverse the process as a black energy started to LEAVE his body, engulfing the gray material. He wasn't some weak figure head. He was a Judge, one of the most powerful entities in existence. He wasn't about to be devoured.

So, he'd watch as the Void was the one devoured. No, really.

From the Black Energy that left his body, large, floating heads which can only be described as insanely terrifying heads of wolf-like creatures started to bite into the Void, consuming it. The eyes of the giant hound heads were a misty ice blue which seemed to cause the entire place to be much more... Foggy. The Void had literally just invited one of the most terrifying things in existence into it's very midst. Now, it was going to cause the Void to collapse.

King Kota · « **Reply #47 on:** October 30, 2012, 11:49:00 AM »

As the Judge assaulted the air around him he'd find his attacks useless. It was just due to the nature of what he was fighting..he wasn't a man fighting another man. The wolves bit into the Void; swallowing it as it poisoned and devoured them from within and from outside. Within moments they had turned on the Judge and attempted to rip him to shreds. Their eyes now clouded with a black haze and violent rage.

"Just give up; you are a termite fighting the tree next door."

K2 · « **Reply #48 on:** October 30, 2012, 12:05:43 PM »

It wouldn't be so simple as that. The Void was fighting something from the Physical Plane. It was like apples fighting oranges. The wolf heads would not be corrupted so easily, nor would the Black Judge, but he would find attacking the Void to be much harder than he had hoped as well. He wasn't going to simply give up. He would keep fighting, and the Void wouldn't be able to simply stop him, much less devour him.

"Let's show them who the termite really is," the Black Judge decided, chuckling as the wolf heads started to breathe a ice-blue-colored-fire at the Void, not to be simply extinguished, but to begin to light the Void itself, to give what was a dead place life.

King Kota · « **Reply #49 on:** October 30, 2012, 12:12:33 PM »

With a sigh Jack sprung to action, and sent forth a bolt of pure energy towards the Black Judge, and the ice-blue fire just seemed to fade into the area around it.
It only made it stronger; giving life to a dead place..when the dead place is already a threat? Just seems like you'd be making it stronger.

"You're not going to get anywhere attacking the Void; you'd run out of power before you destroyed a tenth of the plane. Seeing as I am the only current representative I guess I'll be your opponent. Beat me and you leave; I beat you and you belong to the Void." Jack said as he took his eyepatch off; the Void now replaced by a solid black eye.
