Chapter One: Ex Nihilo

[Quantum Rain]

First topic message reminder :

A war already thousands of years since its beginning, some worlds have already been devastated, but hope remains for those who wish to defend it... or destroy it.

Aeon's armies are amassing once more, though they emerge from the shadows of defeat against the Reapers in the service of Exitium, they hold courage still. Exitium sees this happening, and is already prepared to strike again, this time to kill. Merciless fighting shall take place soon.

Elsewhere, Anima creates her guardians, preparing to defend her creations still, even through the pain of death, she refuses to give in. Chaos's hordes are running rampant through the worlds though, creating pure discord in their wake, challenged only by Anima's warriors, they will, however, win if left unchecked.

Still, the gods are summoning their warriors, as more and more appear in the Sanctuary, a world otherwise known as the home of the gods, they appear in the respective thrones to each god, with the scenery equally matching their power. It is here where our story shall begin, and here it shall start to end, for out of nothing, out of Ex Nihilo, a story will start to weave itself together.

[Angusm3]

Angus cleverly flicked away the portion of shockwave that was headed for him, he himself was surprised that he had been able to do that instinctively. Hayle brought up a massive chunk of earth from the ground to block his portion and oresia throw a mixture of something onto the ground that brought down lightning before him, which he absorbed. Skaer, however on his stomach jumped to his feet while holding an index finger directed narrowly at the knight. Without hesitation he fired a beam of purely concentrated black energy with extreme precision at the beast. Hayle got over his shock nearly in an instant and dashed toward the monster, his attacking motions not a blur but as if he was simply changing his position instantaneously. Angus now brought up chunks of rocks and thought "mage hand, hmm" as he brought down a hailstorm of rocks ranging from a metre to hundred metres in diameter of solid granite, obsidian, and bedrock. Keter jumped through the portal now, far in the air where the portal was located and aimed directly for the creatures back, his blades changed instead to pistols from which he fired brimstone, unfortunately for him the shower of rock from Angus would be blocking most of this. Oresia reached forward and pushed against the air and yellow bolts of insanely high amounts of energy flew from about a metre distance in front of his hands directly toward the knight.

"Very well." Aaron replied, drawing his zanpakuto, while Saito simply nodded as he drew his katana. "Just say when" Saito commented.

--Umbra 2--
"Well, I suppose I should find my way back... Hey, can anyone help me find my way back in here?" Cortosis yelled out in the midst of Umbra, realizing not much was left in the castle. "...I'm bored."

--Dyson--
the army fought as one, slashing teeth and claws rained down on hte heroes from every angle. some simply say behind the ranks, and spat blasts of acid at the group. "crap." Onyx said, cutting through several of the creatures with one broad axe stroke, while more walked over their bodies to attack themselves. "This is like zombies, except a hundred times worse..." summoning a spire of rock to impale one, he then took the gigantic spire out of the ground and, with great effort, threw it into the nearest group, killing quite a few. Unfortunately, they had quite a few more to spare, and they recoiled on onyx. one attacked with a blade of bone larger than itself coming out of its arm, only to be blocked by Onyx's axe. Onyx's muscles bulged, and he pushed back hard enough to shatter the blade, and kill the creature behind it. "Next." Onyx said, a fire ignited in him.
"Watch out!" Kael warned, seeing an attack coming from behind. A spray of acid that would have melted onyx's hand hit Kael's armored glove. "Crap." Kael swore, quickly taking the gauntlet off before the acid took full effect. The armored glove soon no longer existed, the acid burning through. "what the hell is this nightmare."
"Well, at least it can't get any worse." Shale absentmindedly said, dodging an acid blast from the dragon. in top form, shale cut through the infected, where kael and onyx were killing one, ten or twenty died with every stroke of his blade, it seems. even his hair did not seem out of place. "My, this is making me break quite a sweat." He calmly noted.
"can't get any worse? I'm afraid to inform you it can." a chilling voice nearby informed. "could you please give up, for now? I can promise power to those that do. power in service to the swarm! I am Zerus, and depending on how this conversation goes, I will either grant you new life... or death."

Sona heard something behind him as he neared their destination. a well timed jump was all that saved him from getting pounded into the ground. What he saw in front of him USED to be an earth elemental, and now seemed to be covered with what looked like black mold. showing what seemed to be a mouth, the creature roared, as it went for another swing. Sona dodged underneath the blow, forming a pair of handsigns as he came up. "water style jutsu: water slice" He uttered, as a blade of water moved from his hands and cut through the golem's leg, nearly cutting it in half. "I'll handle this guy. you move ahead." Sona said, a new fire in his eyes.

"so, where's that war? This seems too peaceful a setting to be it..." Auger raised his eyebrow at Jaxe. "Jeez, if you're it, this is pretty disappointing..."

--Umbra II--

" What do we do after bringing down the summoning circle?" Justin questioned in the moment of silence, breaking the mood, while activating his Swift Justice. A glowing and holy aura started surrounding him and his blade.

Yura walks steadily as one of Aeon's guard bring her towards Abel. The guard said, " Aeon has brought us another powerful warrior... ", while holding his halberd. Yura shuffled her shoulder a bit, " I believe i can greatly contribute to the war effort", she said calmly.

Mel stopped running, almost suddenly, then she took out her instrument, and played it, cloaking her slowly. She sensed Delarte and he's very close, not only that, she also sensed a relentless army approaching her. Mel hastily drew out her music box, she opened it, letting out a light, and a rhythmic sound burst out from it. " War Symphony", Mel said, as she was put into a trance, then strange power surges through her body, strengthening in magic and physical combat. Suddenly, Mel's tatoo started glowing, and she realize that Delarte has arrived...

War Symphony traveled far away, giving a positive affect to all allies sided with Anima. Delarte hear this music and was greatly strengthened by it. He sense Mel's position as well as Catullus in the clear opening, laying on the grass... sleeping,
"Useless, totally useless", Delarte commented, while still leaping from tree to tree. He then took a final jump, making his way towards Mel, and landed successfully. Mel stopped playing her flute, and surprisingly saw Delarte right beside her, and the power of the Pact became fully active, giving more power to them, but before they can exchange any words, a black swarm of enemies was trampling out the forest, like marching insects. Mel open the box, and started playing Song of Despair. While Delarte jump into the air and started drawing a Libra sign.

Catullus, lay peacefully on the grass, as the wind blew against him, then the earth started shaking. Catullus slowly open his eyes from the disturbance, his eyes were half open, but when he see the back of his left hand, he realize that the Pact was glowing, not only that, it seems like the War Symphony was in effect as well, he widen his eyes, instantly stood up, and ran insanely fast towards Mel, and Delarte, after becoming aware of these bad omens.

Anri was skipping across the forest, while singing a tune, she stopped as she saw an army fighting around the forest, and a dragon. " Oh? Has that insect finally made his move, he is in quite a predicament with three groups to handle." She commented, while a large group of Blood Demons ( 25 ) was following behind her. " Perhaps...", drawing her blade, "he would like a little rain" she said, while she cut her wrist, and blood started leaking from it. A figure was building up from the blood, and became a perfect replica of Anri. She then snapped her fingers as the blood demons turned one of their arm into a canon, and moving their arm towards the swarm.


--Altah Roh--
Mana was still holding the book, suddenly, it started glowing...
While Ace is making his way towards the temple, but became curious as a glowing light appear from it, as the day was getting dark.

--Umbra--
Shade was still, then his body started fading, a few seconds later he completely disappeared, without a trace. Shade got teleported to an unknown world, but before he can comprehend what was going on, he wanted to know where he is, but then the flash of light from the teleport disappeared, then he notice a man with a book before him.

Hiryu saw Kain in the hall, with power flowing out form his hand, he walked towards him, " Well, aren't you beat up, did our guest bid their farewell?" He concluded as walls from the ceiling and other part of the halls were all desolated, wasting on the ground. " A new soldier has appeared, a frail and little girl. Exitius want's you to see her, also, I sense a bad omen making it's way in haste.

Mary stood in a room after being escorted, she blank face blends with the dark and gloomy room.

Abel looked at the woman, somewhat annoyed with all of these people just appearing out of nowhere lately. “We will be charging into the battle shortly, do what you need to in order to prepare.” He said to the guards and to Yura.

“Eliminate any of Exitius’s followers.” Allyson says simply, and coldly, as they reach the front gates. She places her hand gently against the steel gates that barred entry for her and the others. She closes her eyes and prays silently. In the middle of her prayer, a beam of light shines through the door, blasting it outward, but not hurting anybody, as the sections of the door disintegrated in mid-flight. “…amen.” She finished, continuing forward.

--Umbra II--

Kain sighed, as he tried to recover himself. He was happy that Shade called his bluff, he wasn’t in much of a condition to fight yet, really. He looked around, as he felt the shockwave of an impact against the barrier that was projected to protect the castle. “….” He remained silent, as he started walking toward the front gate, favoring one leg slightly.

--Dyson I--

“Abi in malam rem!” Rain shouted at Zerus, as the earth rumbled and howled, a massive arm made out of rock emerging forth from its home and striking at Zerus and any of his underlings nearby. “Requiem in aeternis tenebris!” Rain’s eyes started to glow with a sort of red aura as he used his powers to an unprecedented limitation as more than just the arm emerged from the ground. Soon came a second arm, then a head, and then a torso with legs. Rain stood atop of the shoulder of this new beast he summoned, glowing red, and immobile it seemed, but in control of the beast nonetheless.

Leo wasted no time, jumping into the fray with a powerful force shockwave ripping through the enemy as fast as his lightsaber moved to finish the job. “Despicable creatures.” He said, cutting into one of the many corrupted beings. “Deliverance shall come swiftly for you.”

---

--Dyson II--

The demon roared loudly, as the earth spiked up and blocked everything aimed at him. The demon released an even greater shockwave, coupled with a sort of singularity forming around him, acting like a barrier to him, but like a black hole in terms of gravimetric pull to the outside. Before it could have any effect, though…

“I’ve had enough of this.” Chaos said, snapping her fingers as the singularity was cancelled out instantly. “You are boring me with your redundant behavior.” She commented to the demon’s frozen face. As she turned around, it exploded violently, with the radiance of a star, the only thing left of it being the satisfaction on Chaos’s face.

--Dyson III--

“In a moment…” Jaxe said, as dozens upon thousands of creatures started appearing all around them, the ground rising in upheaval as larger creatures sprung forth. “The armies of discord will march… soon.” Jaxe commented with a devious grin.

[Angusm3]

"My lord..." whispered Skaer "We had not anticipated you coming here..." He quickly knelt to the ground as if he was being forced but was not. "What would you have us do now? Things have become so corrupt with the enemies meddling in the affairs of all."

Keter looked down at the being that just killed his prey and refused to let anything take his hunt. The moment his feet touched the ground, causing a crater, he opened fire on Chaos.

[agentaaa]

--Umbra--

"Not the most complicated plan I've ever seen, but I like it." Saito comments. "I will help as best as I can, then." Aaron says, watching as the door gets broken down. "So it begins." Aaron proclaims." As both Saito and Aaron head through the now broken door.

--Umbra 2--
Cortosis sensed new arrivals in the castle. "Hmmm, seems a war is starting soon, and here I am, almost up to full. nothing like a war to sow some CHAOS!" He yelled, looking for new targets of his rage. Aeon or Exitius, it did not matter to him.

--Dyson--

Shale, Onyx, and Kael suddenly felt rejuvenated, as the mark spread over them and increased their power. "Wow, Rain's really got quite a bit o' power in him, doesn't he?" Shale asked, before cutting through another line of Zerus' soldiers with his blade. "No wonder Anima wanted him so bad... A powerful warrior, AND one with a conscience."
All three seemed to perform more powerfully, and perceptively. Onyx smashed through two of the enemy soldiers with one stroke of his ax, followed by making a flurry of spikes come from the earth and stab his enemies. When another soldier came near, he merely smashed it in the face, and it moved so fast on impact that not only did it die instantly, but smash the warrior behind it into a pulp. Kael's style was much simpler, and simply used his blade, and the least possible movement, to take down his enemies. An elven avenger was stronger than most heroes, and Kael was showing this off even more now, as tens of creatures died by his blade.
"It's all useless, you know." Zerus said, both angry and excited. His potential prizes were certainly showing their worth... but whether or not he could capture his prize with his current forces was debatable. pulling every available soldier of his to the battlefront, his force would have another thousand available to him within a minute. He prayed it was enough. Charging into battle at Shale, surprisingly fast, he was blocked by shale's long katana. "I wouldn' know about useless, but it's been less than relaxing. Let's finish this quickly, then."

--Dyson 2--
Sona was confident he could beat this earth golem. He became less confident upon seeing it attract earth to it to grow larger and heal its wounds. seeing the very ground rip open and try to swallow him as well also made it difficult, as Sona was barely able to attack, spending most of his time dodging. landing a few nicks with his water attacks, Sona himself hadn't been injured so far, but as he remembered, this was due mostly to luck. "Come on, I can do this." he muttered.
Zerg creatures of all types would begin assaulting Mel, Delarte and Catullus, and begin to spot Anri and her group.

--Dyson 3--
"Huh. how good are they, out of interest, because I think they'll be fun to play with. " Auger asked, not even fazed by the creatures. "I hope the other side will be just as fun." Auger shifts, keeping one hand on the bottom of his sword hilt. "Ya know, I haven't been able to show off this new power I got recently, so now might be the time to."

Kress stared at the chaotic forces gathering. "Anima's forces should be readying themselves soon." He commented to Jervix. "Then is when we'll make our move."
"And what move is that?" Jervix asked, perched on his commander's shoulder.
"Both forces will open up portals to other worlds to bring forces here. if we can, I'd like to commandeer one of them. this world is a boring, technologically backward, world with no possibility of profit for us. In all reality, the only possibility here is for us to die of old age."
"I see. I suppose that means we'll have to kill the soldiers there, too... unless they see pirating as a more suitable way of life."
"Hehehehahahahaha!" Kress laughed, a rumbling, deep laugh that would chill the hearts of any who heard it.

[Quantum Rain]

--Umbra--

Allyson looked around, sensing an odd presence, but eventually, dismissing it as something to do with the barrier. She takes a left turn and walks down the hallway, headed for the throne room. Not surprising to her, there weren’t many guards that attempted to block their paths. She let her companions take care of them, not wanting to waste her own powers until necessary.

---

--Umbra II--

Kain kept walking, stopping when he heard the front door smash open violently further down the hallway, past the corner he was hiding behind. “...Aeon.” He muttered to himself, quite sure about who it was that was attacking them this time around. He felt a little bit of worry due to the fact that they just fought a recent battle against a few rather powerful, and not that sane, heroes of Chaos and Anima.

---

--Dyson--

The golem Rain summoned swung his massive arm, swooping through enemy lines with a giant, earthy, solid fist. It attempted going after Zerus, but, the other enemies kept it occupied to do much about their leader, as he kept smashing and stepping on them to try and eliminate as many as possible to clear a path.

Leo saw the giant golem and started, slowly advancing towards it, curious as to who commanded such a creature. He noticed several things as he approached, taking out one Zerg after another with his skills with a lightsaber, trying his best to avoid the acid. “Hmm…” He noticed the orc, the elf, and the human who were fighting, seemingly on the same side as the golem. “Must be Anima…” He said, seeing the downed body of the Archangel, still unharmed.

---

--Dyson II--

Chaos merely called up a barrier, blocking the fire from Keter, as the area suddenly got a bit colder. “I can do as I please, droid.” She said, proudly, as she turned towards the others and smiled. They ended up being teleported, all except Keter, to where Jaxe was, with his army.

---

--Dyson III--

“You could, but then you’d just be helping me.” Jaxe replied, as Skaer and co. appears close by. “Ah, you guys again. We were waiting for you.” He said, greeting them, but treating them distantly.

[Angusm3]

Skaer walked confidently toward Jaxe. "So, when does this battle begin?" "When the waiting ends" Angus said, stepping up beside him. "Touche" muttered Skaer under his breath. Hayle just gave the army a quick look over, "Hmm so this is a god army, didn't have anything like this back in the... uhhh... Castle that you..." He stammered as he began sobbing softly. Oresia ran up to him, "Take this, it'll help you when the time is right. Not now, not now. But soon." he spoke into Hayles ear while handing him some kind of vial with an amber liquid in it.

[NemesisQ]

--Umbra--

Justin ruthlessly swept his enemies away from Allyson as they approach with his giant bane, like insects being crushed against the wall, while he was following Allyson.

Mary sense intruders breaching into the castle, she quickly prepares and with her eyes turned pitch black, she made her way to the enemy with all her belongings, ready for a fight.

Hiryu walked in line towards the wind of misfortune has gave him. As he notice enemy's on Exitius soil.

Yura stood as she spoke something out in the wind, " Hagun. " Suddenly, Hundreds of powerful spirits appeared around her, forming a circle, all at once they started chanting as power flow through Yura's
body.

--Dyson--

Catullus drew out his knives as he hears the marching Zerg's from up south, while running swiftly across the meadow.
As Catullus kept running, he saw Delarte and raining arcane missiles at the enemies, while Mel was fighting them off. Delarte noticed him and shot dozen of missile directly at Catullus, while Mel was easily killing through the Zerg. Catullus quickly evaded the attack by Delarte and turn back to glare at him, " Hey! What the hell was that?! " he questioned in disdain, but before he got a reply the Zerg's overwhelm them with their numbers, and things have gotten a little complicated. Mel noticed Catullus, and, as if they had planned this out, she quickly retreats behind Catullus, and so did Delarte, leaving a wide distance between them and the Zerg flowing out of the forest. Catullus threw his Incendiary Knives tied with Celestial Wires diagonally to two trees from where the Zerg, are coming from, forming a wide triangle with him holding both of the strings, then, in a split second, he tied dozen of wires in one knive stabbing it on the ground. As the Zergs trample towards them, before they could touch their prey, their body got slice up to pieces instantly. Countless numbers of Zergs ran mindlessly towards their death, ignoring their dead comrades lying on the ground motionless, but suddenly they stopped, they stood looking around while shaking in fear. In that moment of silence, Catullus smirked, as his friends Mel and Delarte, both ran towards the Knives and grabbed it, charging towards the Zergs, but when they almost come in contact with them, they quickly disappeared, and in that silence All the Zergs In the whole area are sliced up to pieces, while one can see flashes popping out and appearing out of no where around them, when the rush finally stopped, all their body is beyond recognition. After that time interval, Mel, Delarte and Catullus strafe into the forest with, where their domain is.
" The forest is filled with anguish, I can hear battles being fought else where." Mel notified while holding one of her rapier along with Catullus Knive, and weaving through the forest.

" Can you tell if there is any Anima allies within this vast forest? " Catullus asked leaping from tree to tree.

" Yes, my War Symphony is in effect with other's. I could sense them." Mel replied with a feeling of excitement.

" We should be more careful, enemies can approach us anytime." Delarte added.

When they went deeper into the forest they saw a huge golem, and thousands of Zergs is seen ahead of them, advancing towards the giant golem. They all stopped while watching what was going on, while Catullus place hundreds of traps around them, in fear of being ambushed.

Countless numbers of Blood Cannon Balls invades the sky, plunging to the grounds, and a Myriad of Zergs was destroyed from the explosion. Anri smiled far away from the forest, but her clone is making her way to the enemies, " I sense a lot of interesting players on this battle ground. What emotions would be swept away mindlessly spilling into the soil of the earth? " She spoke as she climbed up on one of the blood golems arm, "... A fight for a god, and a belief that hold to much of value than it's worth over others, this fight has no meaning, for one to rise higher than others to spill blood, is so childish, but you know... they say old dogs can't learn new tricks." She spoke again with a bright smile on her face, as tears over flow her eyes, streaming down her face.

The clone made her way to the battleground she notice a group of what seems to be UFA, She see them talking to one another, something about " Anima forces" and " War". The clone hides, erasing her presence. * They seem like a odd bunch, I don't know these creatures, not in my blood that is (laugh), anyway, stay their until I say so, okay? * Anri ordered her clone. " Yes Master " The clone replied.

-[Redacted]-

In the same hallway, now dimly lit due to several smashed and flickering lights, a guard is slumped against the wall. There is a small squad of men and women in the same uniform as the unconscious
"Rominov, What happened here?" asks another security guard. He is clearly in charge of the investigation squad. "Vell," The other guard replies with a heavy accent, "'Et seems dat 'E es een some sort of coma."
"Say again?"
"It seems...dat..'E..is..in..a..coma."
"And do we know why?"
"Vell 'E seems to have daken a nasty hit do 'Is head."
"Well lets get a medic down here and see what we can do for him."

--Umbraeon--
In the ashes of his capitol, Michael rose to his feet. He looked around, seeing destruction everywhere. Leaning down, he grabbed ash in his hand and closed his fist. Anger built up inside him. "Graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"


He walked for miles and miles, dragging his spear through the ground behind him. Something- or someone- was calling him. He could feel it. In the sky above him was the abandoned Flying Fortress of his nation's former enemy. In the distance, he could see the Shinjuku Tower. "The tower.... it's calling me...?" He asked himself. "The fortress... it wants me to board the fortress... but how...?" He kept walking, following the voice he was hearing.

[agentaaa]

--Umbra--
Aaron saw the enemies coming, and didn't hesitate for a second, killing any who got too near. His large nodachi smashed into any enemy which got too close, quickly and cleanly.
Saito, on the other hand, didn't even bother drawing his blade. A chaos knight that got near came in for a furious slice, and Saito merely grabbed the blade in midair, disarming him, before hitting the knight with a kick to the face. He did not get back up.
"Perhaps we should hurry before more trash ends up appearing?"
Cortosis zoomed through the halls, noting the sudden attack on the chaos base. "Time for some fun." Cortosis said, heading for Mary, His blade and discus at the ready. He didn't care who he ran into, but he knew they'd be dead soon afterwards.

"Invaders, eh? Seems like I get to fight again." Abbadon said, noting the general's appearance. "You coming, Efah? You're as worthy as a softskin will ever get to be."
"The enemies of Exitius are my own. If we must work together to beat them, we must." Efah responded.
"...Mouthy little softskin, aren't ya?" Abbadon replied.
The two walked towards where Allyson was, barely acknowledging the other's presence.

--Dyson 1--
"Fine then. Struggle against your fate. It won't make much of a difference." Zerus said, moving with blurring speed to stab Shale in the chest with his ebony blade.
Shale, relaxed, simply brought up his katana, stopping it with the edge of his blade.
"Heh! This blade was made and increased in power by zerg evolutionary techniques!" Zerus informed Shale. "Think that lump of metal can stand against it?" He asked, thrusting again with all his possible force.

"Well, ya see, this isn't your everyday katana." Shale said, as he blocked the blow again. The blade shattered as it attempted to cut through to Shale. "It was a present, ya might say, that the wind spirits gave me. a few li'l enchantments that make it a bit of a better weapon." Shale explained.

Zerus merely growled, before bringing up his other clawed hand, but he gaped in surprise as Shale merely grabbed his hand, before flinging him 50 feet behind him.
"You still breathing?" He asked.
"...Grrr." Zerus said, truly frustrated for perhaps the first time in his life.

Onyx cut through a few more of the zerg scourge with a single axe stroke, as a pale green aura surrounded him. Throwing his axe, he slaughtered an entire line of them, the axe, whirling like a buzzsaw, then moved immediately back to Onyx's hand. Catching it, he then used it to block a talon coming towards him just in time, and sliced through the opponent in front of him, before grabbing his arm and the attached blade spike and throwing it into another's eyes nearby.

Kael Was as smooth as always, as another enemy attacked. Cutting through the creatures blade and body with his blow, he paused for a short second before running through the group of enemies before him, moving so fast they could hardly react, his blade seeming to be in 5 different places at once.


Sona grimaced, as the earth golem came in for another strike. The fist just barely missed Sona, as he uses his "hydration" ability to increase his running speed temporarily to get out of the way. "spikes!" Sona muttered, as a flurry of stone spikes came at him. Sona dodged a few of them, whilee using his kunai to deflect the remainder. "That's IT!" Sona said, a blue aura around his legs. Kicking at the earth golem with blinding speed. surprisingly, a bit of the earth golem's leg was smashed, and it toppled, falling over. "Owowowowowowow!" Sona complained, holding his aching foot. "this. freakin. hurts."

Sona looked over to see the fallen earth golem, only to see it grow larger again, taking in the nearby earth to increase in size again. "Oh, lovely. Yeah, of course he gets back up. Did I honestly think it'd be that easy?" He asks himself.

Kress moves as silently as a creature of his size is capable, towards the back of Chaos' forces. "Wait till the battle is truly joined." Kress tells Jervix. "Point out the portal you believe will be best, and I'll follow as soon as you're finished killing the guards.".
"Of course, lord Kress." Jervix says, dutifully. "hopefully, we can commandeer it quickly."

Auger simply grimaced. "So, you know where Rain is? He's more fun to hang out with anyway." Auger said, before turning to the others. "Oh, cool! You're not dead! Hi."

[Quantum Rain]

--Umbra--

Allyson continued forward, focused on her singular task, as she stopped at the large, metallic, and gothic-designed gates that lead towards the throne room. “Through here.” She said simply, placing her hand on the gate, its ice cold feel, and smooth texture defied to announce what truly lay behind these doors. “Cover me.” She ordered to the others clearly, as she closed her eyes and started to pray again, softly and sweetly.

---

--Umbra II--

Kain followed, silently, thinking of how he would go about ambushing these enemies this time. Behind him there were guards already seeing to the gate. It was odd, he noticed, seeing everything so calm despite an invasion army sitting at their front door. It’s like… no. Focus. He thought to himself, turning his attention back to the intruders.

--Dyson--

The golem started to glow a sort of scarlet red color through the crags and breaks in the earth it was made up of. Raising its earthen arm, it conjured a large, red, star-like sphere of energy, howling at the multitudes of Zerg rushing at it and its allies. Its deep, and extremely loud roar seemed to resound through the forest, instilling fear in most normal people, as it glared down at the would-be conquerors.

Leo advanced toward the Archangel, practically teleporting he ran so fast, slicing Zerg in his path in a blink of an eye. “Rest in peace, corrupted souls.” He whispered softly under his breath, standing back up from the sudden dashing-slide maneuver he just pulled off. He looked at the Archangel, trying to get a sense of whether he was alive or dead, but other Zerg rushed to break his focus. He fought them, not paying much attention to the golem’s roar.

--Dyson III--

“For now,” Jaxe announced, standing up to look at his assembled army and the commandos that just recently joined him. “We move, towards Ignis, to reinforce our hold on this land.” He turned toward one of his newly christened lieutenants, his red eyes narrowing at the sight of this rather young, odd-looking human, standing silent, and yet resolute in a sea of different, more powerful beings. “Seal that portal up. We’ll receive more reinforcements at Ignis.” He commanded, turning back around and walking off, not waiting for an affirmative from the young lieutenant. The rest of this oddly assembled army began following obediently after their new commander.

Dominic wondered what it was that this being seemed to hate of him, but he just sighed and obeyed. It wasn’t his job to question Chaos’ tactics, after all, she was doing a fair job at surprising even her own generals in the battlefield. He walked toward the large, swirling, violet colored portal, and thought to himself how odd it was that Chaos was not wholly chaotic after all. He thought it ironic that she was even fighting this war, which required her hypocrisy to win. He held his hand up to the portal, which reacted by glowing, swirling in the opposite direction, and shrinking.

When the group arrives at a gate Justin shift towards the door, while still looking back in case any guards comes up and attack them. In that moment Justin activate one of his spells, and a shroud of light appeared behind him. The air became cold and heavy, and it was coming from inside the gate.

--Umbra II--

Mary sense danger, but remained compose as she put up her barrier, and grabbing a bottle with her small pale hands. Mary tilt the bottle downwards, and a fluid touched the ground, spreading as much as it can, while she walked around the room.

Hiryu was outside the fortress, he stood looking out into the distance, as if he was expecting something.

Yura was ready, and decided to take a stroll to check out where Aeon's army was invading. Yura took out a shikigami, she chants an incantation, and throw the paper into the air. Suddenly seven sparrows appeared, they grabbed on to Yura's robe, lifting her into the air, and with great effort, the sparrows carry her towards the fortress.

" They seem to be handling this pretty well, I say we stay up here, where it's safe and watch." Catullus commented

" Of course you are, Because that's what you mostly do, why don't you go back home and pluck apple's off the tree, and sleep away like you did back there." Delarted replied, showing some attitude.

" Uh huh, How about I pluck that apple and stick into your [censored] where your Tatoo is placed like a laboured donkey." Catullus insulted at Delarte while a vein just popped out on his forehead.

" Oh... Did I just hear you want some Explosive Tatoo's on your sleeping bag tonight? I'm going to make sure your never going too sit on a toilet seat again you perverted air-head." Delarte talked back while a vein also popped out on his forehead
Mel played Song of Despair while they are bickering, and almost in a instant, they crouch down.
" I'm a waste of skin... just let me die here a virgin" Catullus cried out in his despair.
" Where is this place? I feel lost, someone just kill me, i don't deserve to live, I wanna go back home." Catullus cried out in his despair.
" That's much better" Mel said, while concentrating the battle she is witnessing deeper into the forest.

Anri walked out of her hiding spot, and present her self to Jervix.
" Greetings and salutations, Sorry, but if I may ask where is the closest city from here?" Anri asked politely, putting on a smile, while hiding her sword.
" You see, I got seperated from my family, and I wonder where i might be right now. "

The real Anri stood at the summit of the hill, with the blood golems. She notice other's, and cut her wrist again, the thick blood dropped on the ground, building up and molding itself together. The clone seemed incomplete but was finished when her solid form came in.
" Go find anyone else on the battlefield, this is becoming interesting, and i would like to play both parts in this. Go" Anri ordered, The clone ran down the hill across the meadow.

" Altah Roh"

Shade appeared before Mana, bewilder by whats going on, Mana suddenly dashed towards Shade with killing intent. Both of their Haki clashed, creating a behemothic crater on the temples ground. They repel each other's attack as they create some distance between them. " Who are you, Tell me" Mana demanded while moving in a circular pattern parallel to Shade.
" The book your holding, Is me and you, I am yours and you belong too the book, that is how it revolves." Shade answer calmly while making the same movement as Mana.
Shade flashes away, Mana got stood calm but a bit suprised, as he is trying to find where his enemy is, suddenly, Mana turned around as he notice Shade was in mid-air trying to fly kick him, Mana ducked launches an explosive palm towards Shade but somehow got parry by Shades kick. Mana and Shade's attack clashes again creating a huge pressure in the air, but this time, Mana saw a blur of light, and a vision started showing itself to him.

Ace ran towards the battle, and saw a pair of twins fighting against each other. He started scratching his head while sitting down on the grainy sand.

[Angusm3]

Angus and his friends followed in a slightly arrowheaded formation behind the rest of the army. "This should be simple enough, defending land how difficult can tha-... Oh right... Hayldrig" said Hayle to the group. "I'm beginning to think this might actually be somewhat challenging." Angus just sighed as he toyed with the fire rolling around in his hands. "Fireballs, should have used them for fun a long time ago..." he mused. while Skaer just smiled with the power he had unlocked for the rest of the quartet.

After several minutes of nonstop assault on Chaos, Keter finally realized she wasn't going to be hurt by him. He quickly knelt to the ground and spouted "Is anything required of me, new lord?"

Abaddon literally pounded his way through the walls in the fortress, smashing his way towards where the intruders were previously indicated to be. Efah, following him with his regular coldness, said nothing as they moved towards Allyson's party. Finally, Abaddon smashes through a nearby wall to end up nearby Allyson's party. "It seems you chose the wrong way to head, softskins." Abaddon said, before being suddenly cut off. a grin filled with vicious fangs appeared above Abaddon with leathery wings, picking him up and lifting him off the ground before flying off. "What! Unhand me you [censored]--" Was all that was heard as Abaddon was carried away.
"It appears I'm at a small disadvantage, now." Efah said, sending the soldiers nearby to focus on a now pinned-down Saito and Aaron, as he moved towards Justin. His dragon-tooth sword appeared in his hand, as well as his staff, as he prepared to attack Justin. Words of power flew from his lips, as he prepared a simple, but at his level, potent, chill spell. The air began to become cold in the room...
Abaddon could still be heard in the distant halls, screaming "I'll kill you" among other, ruder, threats and insults, as he was pulled away by Cortosis, who was currently giggling like a schoolgirl.
"Why did you grab me?" Abaddon asked.
"Because I needed something to throw, and you're made of rock." Cortosis said, coming near mary's position. Showing off his strength, Cortosis then hurled Abaddon at mary and her barrier as he came near.
"I'm going to (expletive) Kill you!" Abaddon said as he fell, ki piling up in his hands. As he fell, he threw a white fireball of chi at Cortosis, that he neatly evaded.
"Oh, so when I'm holding you, you're just a paper-weight, but as soon as I let go, you start using your super powers on me..." Cortosis said.
"Oh well. I've always wondered what molten-flesh tasted like..."

"Hey! don't play with that around the trees! That's dangerous!" Auger said, hurling a rock at Angus head, the rock moving incredibly fast. "Ooops, too hard. Oh well, I'll see ya later." Auger said, running towards Rains' position.

"well, you seem to be a slippery sort." Shale says, knocking zerus back for the tenth time, as Zerus narrowly avoided decapitation. His hyper-evolution matrix installed in this body had allowed him to use plenty of different types of attack. He'd shot out acid, fired spike flechettes, created a scythe five times his host's size, and even strained himself enough to fire a psionic blast through his host at shale, though it was greatly weakened compared to it's usual capabilities.
But Shale, at every turn, had dodged his attacks, and nearly killed him, no matter what had happened. Even more, the warrior didn't even seem to feel the effort, and moved faster than even Zerus, with his biologically boosted reflexes, could keep up with.
"Even if you kill this host, I shall come after you at every opportuni-" Zerus was cut off suddenly, as Shale cut through his host body from top to bottom.
"Let's see whether that helps anything." Shale said. "I hope Kael and Onyx are okay." He said soberly.
Kael and Onyx, meanwhile, were fighting back to back against the horde.
"A true jest is this, an Orc fighting beside an elf." Onyx said. "Still, if this is a jest, then I wish there were more jokes in this world. It might be more peaceful." Onyx said, as he cut off the hand of an attacking zerg creature, before decapitating it.
"Indeed. Still, watch your opponents, Onyx. I hate it when a joke gets cut off halfway through."
Try as they might, the invading forces couldn't find a gap in the two warrior's defenses. Between Kael's bladework, and Onyx's brute strength and earth magic, it seemed as though the enemy would gain no ground. Already, they'd lost much of their number, literal hundreds dead. If the entire assault had been allowed to focus on them, who knows...
But many more zerg hosts were trying, and failing, to hold back the massive golem-like entity brought forth by Rain, while their own infested golem, meant to counter such threats, was busy with it's own opponent.
"Crap." Sona said, as the golem advanced on him. He was running low on both chakra and ideas. "Guess this is it." He said, as the golem, now three times the size of a dragon, approached. "I just wish... I hadn't been so weak. Oh well... I'm sure Leo will manage without me." He says regretfully, narrowly dodging the golem's fist smash, but breaking a leg in the process, just by being scratched by the golem.
"In his consciousness, Sona felt his ties to mortality fade, as the blood loss got worse.
"Why keep going, after all?" Sona's voice seemed to say, and he started to head to that voice.
"It's pointless. Give up. Die. the world would be better off without you."
"It's your fault she died."
"You brought nothing good to the world."
"It's over."
"Why did you think you could win?"
"A nothing like you deserves to die.
Sona headed to the darkness, knowing exactly what it meant to enter it. He was no longer afraid - those he knew were safe enough, his duty was fulfilled... His powers weakening, he felt, was simply a sign of his purpose in the world gone.
"Yes, do it."
"disappear."
"It's what you want."
Sona saw the door, a black jagged stone door. "My destiny lies here." Both he and the voice said in unison.
He opened the door, and it swept up to meet him, the door seeming to draw him in, an indescribable maw of different things behind the door.
Sona prepared to step in-
One voice, far away, popped up. It was Sona's voice, with a special kindness and honesty about it, without the smugness it always carried.
"If you die, who's going to save her?"
Sona stopped.
"No, you're so close. Don't stop." The first voice said.
Sona ignored it, he stepped away from the door.
"You can't do it anyways! Go in, you fool"
Sona ignored that outburst too. Stepping away, he grabbed the door's handle.
"You're nothing! You won't be able to do it!"
"I know that!" Sona shouted back. "I've always been inadequate, nothing! That's how I've always thought of myself. But right now... I don't have the option of drowning in self-pity. I can't afford to give in.I am the only one left who can and will save her. So I don't have a choice in the matter. I HAVE to go back, and I HAVE to save her!" He yelled, as he closed the door.
"Bring me back." He said to the second voice.
"Of course." it answered
That first voice did not speak again.
Sona felt himself come back, before using his hand to push himself out of the way of the golem's next strike.
Water formed around Sona's legs, not curing his infirmity, but making it not a problem. Water collected around Sona's kunai, creating a blade of water much longer than the metal dagger.
The golem swung at Sona, but he was no longer there by the time the Golem's fist impacted the earth. At that point, Sona had already jumped upwards, stabbing the golem in the head with his new blade.
The blade let off an explosion of water in the golem's head, spikes of water bursting outwards from the golem's head.
Falling to the ground, it started to regenerate, it's head slowly coming together as new earth formed, and it got up again.
"not this time." Sona said, as water seemed to spill outwards from within Sona. A deluge of water formed together, forming a long column of water. More water came out of the ground, adding to it's size. The long, tapered neck formed a head at the end, that of a dragon, and one the size of the golem. "Water style: Water dragon jutsu!" Sona yelled, as the dragon struck towards the golem. The dragon smashed into the golem, thousands of pounds of water breaking the earth open like it was a tin can. in the large area the dragon's head struck, a large hole was left in the golem.
"One more time!" Sona yelled, as the dragon came around. Flying above the golem, it crashed down into the titanic creature, cutting it in half from top to bottom. The pieces of the earth golem, zerg biomass and rock alike, fell in a heap, too damaged to regenerate.
"...good. It's... over." Sona said, before collapsing in a heap.
"Not so fast." Kress said, literally appearing in front of Donovan, as he pushed up through the ground. "I'd rather you not close this just yet. I'm sure we can come to an... agreement." He said evilly, pulling himself out of the ground before stopping. Creatures started to pull out of the hole, Reos, Melia, sidehoppers, wavers, and skree. "not listening to me would be a bad idea." He said, as orc warriors appeared from the nearby trees, carrying the remains of a large ship on an odd device.
They also carried polished, fine axes, made with metals they previously couldn't even detect, and one of them carried a simple laser, though it was both large and low-power.
Jervix merely pointed in the general direction of Hayldrig,not really caring about Anri's presence, before activating his boosters and doing a "hop" up a cliff. Up there, a fighter laid, which Jervix pressed a button on. The cockpit opened, reacting to his hand signature.

“For all things end for their sins, but I am that which paves the way for healing, by my lord's commands, --“ Alysson chants, and the door reacts by disintegrating entirely, gate and all. “Amen.” She finishes, walking through the dissipating gateway, taking out an elegantly decorated long sword, for what awaited them was thousands of guards of various sorts, and behind them, Exitius himself. “Welcome to hell, general.” The death god pronounced loudly and surely. “Welcome to your death.”

“So weapons of war do know their limits after all. How interesting…” The goddess said at the spectacle of this machine bowing to her. “Hmmm, I know exactly how you can entertain me…” She said, chuckling to herself at her new ingenuity. She snapped her fingers, teleporting Keter instantly, the machine appearing next to Dominic after a few short minutes.

Dominic hummed at the new intruders, lowering his hand and pulling out his blade in response. He started to glow lightly as he took a combative stance with his sharp, sturdy, but simplistic claymore. Furthermore, as if in response to the intruders, an odd machine appeared next to Dominic, bowing, for some reason, to an unknown entity. Dominic ignored the newcomer, focusing on his enemies.

“Reside in eternal pain!” Rain yelled out, as the sphere came crashing down ontop of its enemies, sending a small shockwave around its immediate area, causing an upheaval in the ground, creating sharp spikes which fly upward into the air, creating a sort of large barrier around the now disintegrating golem.

Leo picked up the Archangel in the time he had from fighting back the Zerg and ran, flying over the newly created spikes to drop him off there, instinctively, for protection. He jumped right back out to keep the Zerg away from the barrier, his logical thought almost entirely consumed by his combat-driven instincts to survive and protect now. Such was reflected in his silvery-colored aura, his increase in aggressiveness, and the lack of mercy and vocal communication.

(All other parts are to be put on hold for the moment to increase the flow and speed of this story. For now, focus on what needs to be posted for.)

Angus took the rock to the head a loud groan. "HOLY CREPES!" he exclaimed in agony, holding a small section of his scalp in his hands. "Gnnn" he spurted again. "Better now than never" FWOOSH! he cauterized the wound quickly so he wouldn't have to do it later. "Urgh... I hate cauterizing my own wounds. Doing it to Oresia is fun but... Hmm, could this be an epiphany? Do unto others only what you would have done to yourself?" Angus walked and pondered this for a few seconds before discarding it as nonsense. "Oh yay, more killing, that's not getting old. How many friggin' units do I have to kill. Hmm, what if I get killed?! Oh my god, I can't believe I've never even considered my own death. What the heck is wrong with me? Maybe I should... Oh right... It's FRICKING DESTROYED. Okay, maybe there are other cities on... yes, there's that place called candegron, and that continent called pictone. Hmm maybe I could go there, I heard it was infested with orcs. Maybe they're not all dead. Or maybe all the tieflings and dwarves that live there. Man that'd be a good place to be right now" "Wha? Oh right... friggin reality..." Blurted out Angus as he finally snapped out of it. "Angus are you feeling well? Because we're going to HAVE to kill a bunch of crap in a few seconds. And well, it's time now"

Justin quickly react to Efah's chant by charging towards him, while wielding his blade and getting ready for whatever spell is being cast.

Mary heard a vengeful shout from above, something like " I'll Kill you!".
Mary then summons her four spirits, they quickly raise the Call Of Guidance around her. Then the spirits, in light speed, scatter across the castle, preventing themselves to be found.

Yura was strolling around what seems to be a fortress, but something caught her attention as a she heard a shout coming from the top of the fortress; saying: " ILL KILLYOU~~!". Yura decided to investigate this rare occurance by heading where the rock is falling.


--Dyson--

( BTW, This is Anri's appearance: http://cdn.pimpmyspace.org/media/pms/c/k6/6b/bp/hgirl.png )
The second clone of Anri saw a man collapse on the ground, she sprint towards him to see what is going on. As Anri got closer, she notice this boy seem exhausted and tired.

The first clone met Kress the pirate, while notice a man separating from the off from the group.
" Can anybody tell me where I am? I was attack by these creatures in the forest and ended up being lost." The clone postulated while drawing herself toward the Pirates; as her arm started bleeding on to the ground trialing off behind her....

The real Anri grinned as she order her demons to aim their cannons in the diagonally; facing toward the sky, while she creates a few more clones.
Then they were released to where she will direct them further.

Mel stood while tapping her foot on a tree branch.
" We should help the orc and the elf, this is taking forever " she complained.

" Nah, their doing fine as they are, we shouldn't overwork ourselves." Catullus replied.

" Ugh, this world is so boring, I wonder if there is any women in their group"
Delarte complained.

" You know what, I'm going kill off the rest of the little monsters" Mel decided, as she made her way behind the enemies line, and started relentlessly mowing away all the zergs before her with her rapier. Fire and Ice wave started shooting off from the blades; slicing and dicing away everything they touch.

Catullus stood and watch, as he began to say:
" Wow, she's really working it... Hey Delarte you..."

Ignoring Catullus, Delarte charge towards the zerg getting himself ahead of Mel as he beheads dozens of enemies with his string while yelling " YOU DARE TO TRY TO KILL A WOMAN?!?! DIE YOU BASTARDS!!!! ". The two was easily fending off the zergs, until they actually saw the elf and orc in the distant, facing in their direction.

" Ah.. I think they noticed us..." Catullus said with a forced smile.

Chilly wind moved towards Justin, frost appearing near where it appeared. It moved at an incredibly fast rate, and would be as cutting as the worst wind in a blizzard, not killing, but harming and causing pain. Efah began chanting again, and frost appeared on him, freezing and adding an extra layer of defense to him as he readied his sword, made of an enormous dragon's tooth, and somewhat simpler wooden staff, ready to defend against Justin's onslaught.
"You should run." Efah said. "Your leader is fighting someone far above her level of power." Efah states, tilting his head towards Exitius and Allyson "She will die soon. Your other warriors have no hope of repelling him. Further, I am here, with several contingents of troops, and several others at and above my level of power will appear, soon. Your best option is to run. You cannot hope to win this battle. Run, human. There is still time for you to escape.".

Aaron saw Allyson get confronted by Exitius, and attempted to charge forward, only to be overwhelmed by the attackers around him. "[censored] it!" Aaron swore, cutting down the exitius reaper in front of him. Saito merely kept killing his own targets, knowing his own strength paled compared to the god that now walked among them, and used his gatotsu to cut through the judge in front of him, both it's weapon and armor crumpling like paper in the face of his katana.

--Dyson--
Kress simply laughs, which turns into a roar, as he spits out boulders at Dominic and the now appearing Keter. eight boulders half the size of a man moved towards them, as well as smaller detritus, that Kress had been saving for precisely this moment. pretending not to notice Anri, he in fact was keeping one of his pupilless, red eyes directly on her. "She might just be an ordinary girl... but unlikely. this one bears watching." Kress thought to himself, as he threw a gigantic nail at dominic, the nail regrowing even as it left his finger. his hordes moved around him, both to shield their master, and to ready to attack his foes.
A flash of green could be seen in the woods...
"no! NO!" could be heard by everyone near the zerg. "You are my prize! You will not escape!" Zerus said psychically, as creatures new popped up to reinforce the army. Doglike creatures with many jaws and claws, snakelike creatures with scythes for hands, and mothlike flying creatures which fired glaives as they came. "Feel my power! and my str-" Zerus was interrupted, as his forces started dying. Infested and true zerg alike fell, struck dead by some unknown source.
In his chamber, the cerebrate was confronted by a new person, who was unseeable. one looking directly at the being wouldn't be able to perceive who it was.
"You have went expressly against several of my orders, and may cause harm to my future plans if this continues. no more." The being said, coming closer. "If I see such disobedience again, you WILL die. Don't forget who saved you from being destroyed..."
"Of course not! I beg your apology! please!" Zerus said, his wormlike body quailing in fear. Zerus felt a hate for this being, in this moment, that could only be matched by his lust for power, but he also knew he had to hold his tongue. misspeaking at this time could prove fatal. "I'll make it up! Trust me! I have served well in the past, haven't I?"
The being raised a lance, similarly unrecognizable, and lifted it. At first, Zerus thought he had finally gone too far, and that the being meant to slay him, but his fears were laid rest as it instead buried itself in the ground beside him.
"This was the only warning you will get. You are not necessary, Zerus. Don't act as though you are. And if you touch my soldiers again..."
"Rest assured, it will not happen.
Shale merely shook his head, as he tried to digest what had just transpired. "I wonder... what struck them down?" Shale asked, though he already had a suspicion. the energy in the corpses was awfully familiar...
Kael and Onyx ran up to Shale. "Commander, they've... died." Kael said, in a confused and hesitant tone. "What is this magic?" Onyx asked. "the power which destroyed these, is beyond my comprehension..." He said finally.
"I don't know.... I jes' don't know." Shale said finally. "But we should count ourselves lucky, for now, and worry about why later."

[Quantum Rain]

--Umbra--

"I've come here to cleanse this place of death and darkness, not to die myself." Allyson states simply to the god of Death, as if he were just another enemy. "The thought that I could die is irrelavent, I will achieve what I came here to do." "And who said you would succeed in that matter?" Exitus asked with a smug expression, somewhat amused by this woman. "Fate." She replied, taking out her sword and casting a large wave of pure energy that cut into the guards blocking her path as well as creating a barrier of smoke to hide her movements. She leaped forward, headed straight for the portal she had set her sights on.

Abel was growing steadily impatient, almost certain that Allyson had gotten herself killed again when he felt it. A power that appeared out of no where and was quite strong compared to the others around it. "That's her alright. Okay, everyone, charge in, storm the castle and eliminate those who would seek to destroy everything!" He yelled out, the soldiers and various creatures roaring and sprinting forth at the castle, supported by the floating Arms Forts and the artillery-focused combatants. Planes lurched forward from the Arms Forts as well, in sync with Abel's command, and commenced bombing on the fortress's shield, seeking to bring it down before the allied forces reach it.

Edit: Now that Agent has edited in the dyson part, I shall reply accordingly.

Dominic narrowly dodged the boulders, unsheathing his sword and slicing through the last one with a clean, methodical cut, separating it. Unfortunately, he walked right into being hit with the giant toe nail of doom. "...You've got to be kidding me." He said, as he went to block.

The golem roared at the Zerg's disappearance, but then disintegrated entirely, Rain being unable to sustain its existence any longer. As it disintegrated, he fell down from it, falling straight into Leo's hands, whom was waiting to catch him.

Leo wondered for a moment or two what the being was. He thought and contemplated what it was that just destroyed every zergling for miles around. Well, it has to be a god, or several generals...but which and what for? He thought, and then turned his attention to the golem, which collapsed on top of him. He dodged through the debris, catching Rain instinctively, as he rode the pieces of earth down to the ground. "Hey, dumb [censored], we have injured over here!" He yelled at Shale and the others, annoyed at their gaping stares toward Zerus.

[Angusm3]

"Why is my face gaping all of a sudden?" the group thought in unison "must be some kind of black magic" they thought as they treaded toward Leo. Angus spoke first "Yes, what can we help you with now, another disappearing army? perhaps a castle we already control? Or would you like to actually put us to fighting? Trust me, we. Are. Able" Skaer stepped forward "We're going to need a fight soon, where else is something good losing a fight against something bad?" He glances around "Oh look that dirt fell on another piece, should I just" he stomps on the chunk of soil. "There, one battle taken care of, now where's the next?!" -Edit: Again, my apologies, Angus.

Keter moved forward instantly with a quick warp, the rocks hitting the ground around him rather than on top. "Aah, another little monster wants to kill me. As long as it ain't 682" He jumped up and produced two daggers, each of which could be classified as massive swords and headed for the creatures heart.

[NemesisQ]

--Umbra--

" Now, why would you want me to run? Wouldn't it be prudent to have me die here instead? "Justin replied. Justin, in great speed, made a quick and powerful slash, then a huge energy shot from his blade. The energy is launched towards Efah, where it then become the size of a giant gulliotine, clashing against the chilling wind.

--Dyson--

Anri smirked when Kress turn away from her. Accordingly planned, hundreds of vibrant colored red energy balls appeared from the clouds. The clone started walking a few steps forward, " Hey, do you know why blood should never touch the ground? " She said as the rain of blood balls started becoming more visible...

Anri gave an order to the clone, as she observe all scratches and blood he got from battle. " Take a sample of his blood, and after that take him to me "

(...I seem to have used the wrong name in my hast of attempting to post in this topic. My apologies, Angusm...)

--Umbra--

"Fool." Efah remarked, a pillar of ice coming up and freezing around the energy wave, before a flurry of energy bolts headed out of Efah's outstretched hand towards Justin. each bold would freeze anything it touched, as soon as it hit.
"Is now really the time to question my motives?" Efah simply remarked. "I gave you a tactical option. Use it, or fight me and be destroyed. Those are your options."

Aaron charged forward, clashing in fury with the warriors in front of him. With every death, he felt a pang as he realized he was the cause. "so much death... for such a useless cause..." He remarked, attempting to get to Exitius. "But if I defeat you, it will change things!" he yelled at Exitius.
"No, you Idiot!" Saito yelled, frustrated with Aaron's seeming suicidal tendency. "Kill yourself on your own time!" Saito said, charging through his opponents.

--Dyson--
"hehehehehe... Hahahaha! Oh, I can't believe you creatures! It's been a long time since any worm has actually attempted to challenge me!" Kress said, rising the rest of the way through the ground. "See if you can take me, whelp!" He roared, as he reached his full height, an imposing figure in the landscape, and fired... missiles, for lack of a better term, from his stomach at the party.
All about him, insectoid creatures milled. "You creatures, deal with the girl." Kres telepathically communicated to the sidehoppers, mellow, and skree. "and you, attack the creatures in front of me." Kress communicated to the Reo and wavers. swarms of creatures came from both sides at the opponent.
"As for you... wait for a clear shot at the machine..." Kress communicated to the orcs hidden in the nearby woods, with primitive laser weapons.
Jervix took off in the fighter, when promptly took off in Kress's direction. "...Hope I'm not late. He'll be pissed if I am." Jervix noted, before taking the fighter higher and entering stealth mode.
Shale regarded Leo, as he came closer. "Pardon, stranger, I don't think I caught your name. Did you say you needed healing? I got some skill there, think I can help ya out in that regard."
Onyx and Kael simply followed after, keeping their mouths shut but quietly regarding the stranger. "What is he?" Onyx whispered to Kael, confused by the strange aura he could sense with his own powers.
"Judging by that saber he used, I'm guessing he's a jedi, can't be sure though. He could be a sith, but he certainly doesn't act the part" Kael responded. "as for those others over there..." Kael said, inclining his head in the direction of Delarte and the others. "I think I might know who they are... but if that's the case, they shouldn't be here... What in the name of Anima is going on?"
Sona blearily opened his eyes, noticing the Anri standing above him. As soon as did open his eyes, he immediately closed them, before they could open fully, nearly impossible to notice. "seems I've been taken captive by someone, but this is a unique situation... if they think I'm unconscious, I can use that to gather information." Sona thought to himself. "my senses can give me plenty of information on this person... whoever she is."
