A undead limped behind Ayn.
"'Di....Di...DIE!"'
It raised a huge ax at Ayn. |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-28-2003 08:32 PM |
| She whirls around, staring the undead straight in the face.. She shakes her head slightly and places the palm charging the holy energy flat on the undead's face. "How dare you desecrate the earth upon which you walk? Return to the place from whence you came, you ungrateful scum!" With that she fires the blast of holy energy straight into the undead's skull. |
| Posted by Zander on 09-28-2003 08:37 PM |
It turned to dust after the hit.
One showed up behind everyone in the area.
"'"DIE!"'"
Each had a different weapon, ready to attack.
"What has he done...I must stop this."
Zander orbed back to the spot were the people where fighting. |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-28-2003 08:43 PM |
| The unexpected appearance of these vile creatures angers Ayn.. She climbs a tree so that she's standing a good distance away from them, and starts forming a much larger blast of holy energy, enough to take them all out at once. |

| Lucas and Lock walk into a bar like structure. A group of men are laughing, one of which has obviously had a few to many drinks. His companion notices Lock. "Hey Lock! I didn't know you were off duty! Come over here and have a drink!" Lock and Lucas both walks over and sit. Lock turns to Lucas. "This is Barrel. The drunk is Shock." Shock chimes in. "I'm tipsy if anything. Now why are you showing your ugly mug, and why with Lucas?" Lock laughs. "Lucas here needs to make a team of men to spy on some human woman and her companions. I want you guys to help." Barrel laughs. "Human woman? That's stupid." Lock takes a drink and sips it. "It's orders though, if we do a good job Seraphus will promote us." Barrel nods. "That'd be good." Shock yells, obviously he IS tipsy. "I got my drinks. I don't need more money." Barrel elbows him. "I'll tell the bartender you stole drinks. He maimed on guy this week for that." Shock stops. "Prick." Barrel turns to Lock and Lucas. "You got a team." Lock nods. "Good. Meet us at the gates in five." He leaves with Lucas, who seems annoyed again. "I told you I'm the-" Lock sighs. "Let ME handle the guys. You get all the credit you want. Stop whining you baby." Lucas punches a wall as he wait for Barrel and Shock. |

Zander orbed over Ayn and feel ontop of her.
"AHHHHHHHHH!"
When he got up he noticed what he did.
"Opps...I am so sorry my lady."
He turned to see what his brother had made.
"He should not be making these things."
He held his had out.
''STAFF OF THE HEAVENS!"
A Blue staff with a large gold 'C' shaped object on the top and 3 blades on tghe end appeard from no where.
"Get out of here. If I know my brother he will be back." |

The ambiguous demon child seems to have had the attention momentarily diverted from him... Still maintaining a wall of shimmering text between himself and this monster, he cautiously retreats toward the woods he stumbled and fell from, intent on making a hasty retreat.
He's becoming strained with effort at maintaining this spell, though, and a knotted brow and trembling claws indicate this easily. It only inspires in his feet a faster shuffling, intent on abandoning the spell as soon as he reach the line of trees that only seem to get farther and farther away. |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-28-2003 08:52 PM |
| She sits up, clutching her arm, which is twisted at an impossible angle.. She turns to look at Zander, rage boiling inside of her. "Brilliant. Since I can't help you, you're going to have to take care of these beasts yourself. Of course, if you hadn't landed on me, I'd be happy to assist you." |
| Posted by Gale on 09-28-2003 08:54 PM |
| Gale, who had now healed a good deal of his wounds, stands and flexes his arm. He could walk and fight now, but if Ayn saw him, he'd surely be killed. He slinks deeper into the forest. |
| Posted by Zander on 09-28-2003 08:55 PM |
Zander taped her head with the top end of his staff.
"HUTR GORTO"
He smiled.
"Look at your arm now. My Ang....."
He stoped to think.
"My powers can heal others...Not myself."
A undead was behinf Zander that the moment.
"NO YOU DON'T!"
He trusted the 3 blades onto the undeads gut and puted up cuting it into two.
"That was easy."
He helped Ayn up.
"My name is Zander. Sorry about my brother." |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-28-2003 09:00 PM |
| She lets Zander help her up, and she blinks at him curiously. "Well, since you've so 'valiantly' saved me, mind telling me where the hell I am?" |
| Posted by Zander on 09-28-2003 09:00 PM |
Zander looked confused.
"What do you mean? You don't know?" |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-28-2003 09:04 PM |
| She rubs her now healed arm, shrugging slightly. "Nope. One second I'm in a city, then I fall through a void and wind up here." She lifts her gaze to him, sensing a curious energy about him. "I assume you're not human." |
| Posted by Zander on 09-28-2003 09:12 PM |
Zander smiled.
"Ummmmm.What do you mean not human?"
Zander rubed the back of his head with his free hand. |

The leader of the group of soldiers that ransacked the village retreated after giving up finding out the story behind the strangers that suddenly appeared that morning. They weren't interested in him enough to tell him their name, let alone find conflict with him, for the time being anyway. He, however, was very much interested in their powers... No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't set aside the possibility that eventually they may use those powers against him. His presence in the area was well known, as much as Lord Seraphus.
Slowly, a large wooden door creaks open in a dark room. Armed guards are positioned on either side of the door, and several soldiers are sitting at a table, conversing. Their leader walks in through the open door and is greeted by one of the guards. "Welcome back, Lord Kyushin. I trust the raid was successful, sir..." Kyushin merely nods and passes by him.
***
Fury emerges from the tree line to find Ayn and an unfamiliar face in a tree--And a long, ragged gash in the ground. His wounds seem to have disappeared, save for his blood-stained clothes. "Yeah, uh, in this a bad time to ask what the hell's going on around here?" |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-28-2003 09:15 PM |
Her eyebrow arches slightly, as if amused. "You act ashamed of it. Why is that?"
Her attention diverts to Fury. "Dunno. Figured you'd know more than me." |
| Posted by Fury Three on 09-28-2003 09:20 PM |
| He shrugs and sighs. "So, who's he?" With his right hand he points at Zander. "And do you know were Riki and Rose are?" |
| Posted by Zander on 09-28-2003 09:21 PM |
Zander sighed.
"Ok...I will tell you. I am an Angel."
He looked up.
"And that other one was my brother Xandox. He is one of the most evil being I have ever met."
He started to think.
"I also think you are in a different time then your own." |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-28-2003 09:24 PM |
| She mutters to Fury. "This is Zander, he could prove useful later.." She raises her voice to address Zander. "I assumed so, considering your respect for women and clothing." |
| Posted by Zander on 09-28-2003 09:31 PM |
Zander smiled.
"Are the men in your time not like this?"
He staired at her deep into her eyes and started to talk in her mind.
"Don't be scared. But I must talk to you in secret, Where my brother can not break into our minds or find us."
Zander orbed Ayn and himself into a large field.
"Sorry about this. But I feel a great holyness rolling off you. Where are you from my lady?' |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-28-2003 09:35 PM |
Well, this certainly threw her for a loop.. She's assumed defensive position, then growls slightly, upset that she's even farther away from Gale than before, she can't even sense the dark energy anymore.
"......I am Gaia. I am the ground, and the sky. I am the soil and the rain. I am the nourishment and the killer." |
| Posted by Gale on 09-28-2003 09:48 PM |
((Wheee...time for some Lock, Shock, Barrel and Lucas fun! ^___^))
Lucas leaned against the gates, looking at his nails while Lock paced back and forth. Lucas had notice that despise how much Lock lounged around, he didn't like standing still and always tried to find way to keep himself active. "Not good for a spy mission." Soon Barrel, followed by Shock, walk up to the demons. Barrel waves. "Yo." Lock turns to Lucas. "So, where did you last see them?" Lucas motioned for them to follow. "Just be quiet, we don't want to be seen." |
| Posted by Zander on 09-28-2003 10:01 PM |
Zander bowed before her.
"So, The great one is upon us."
HE smiled.
"I am Zander Akira Yurai. I am the leader of the great holy Knights. I senced your holy power from the moment I saw you. You are a great being. There are legends writen in stone here."
He let out a long deep sigh.
"Xandox must know who you are now. That ,must be why he send the undead after you."
He bowed again.
"I am sorry about this my lady. I will return you back to where your were at and I shall return to my home in the mountain."
He kissed her hand and orbed her back.
"The time is upon us. The wars shall start."
He orbed back to his home on the highest mountain |
| Posted by Fury Three on 09-28-2003 10:15 PM |
Fury scowls at the tree where Ayn had been, he was alone again. "Great..." He turns and looks back into the woods. He had to find Riki and Rose somehow, but he didn't have a clue where to start.
***
SETTING THE FIRE
The door to Kyushin's fortress slams open again, catching him in mid-stride in the center of the room. A figure stands in the doorway, a silhouette against the light pouring in from outside. Both guards pivot around the door to see who it is. At the man's feet, two puddles of blood seep across the ground on either sides of the door, and an arm can be seen sprawled out across the dirt path. "Who the he--" The guard's words are cut short by a blade several feet long that slices up into his neck and nearly severes his head. He falls to the ground, gargling and spewing blood across the wooden floor. Knowing he's next, the second guard takes a step back. Metal clashes on metal and the sword punctures straight through his chestplate and out his back. Nonchalantly, the attacker draws the sword back out and holds it at his side.
Kyushin clenches a fist and stares the intruder in the eyes. They're a pure red and somehow seem to fit the man's stern militaristic face. His clothing is not that of this time--Black pants and suit, complete with a red tie. "All right, who are you?!" |
| Posted by Zander on 09-28-2003 10:18 PM |
As Zander got home he pulled a long white sheet off of a stone slab.
"The one of the earth shall help to clean the world of it's sins and evil."
Zander looked up after reading.
"Could it be?" |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-28-2003 10:22 PM |
| Mutters something to herself about weird nobility and how long ago that stuff died out.. She wonders just how far back in time they went. |
| Posted by Gale on 09-28-2003 10:23 PM |
| Gale smiled when he saw Ayn had left and continued through the woods in a more calm fashion. He finaly could think. "From what I've seen, this seems to be in the past. But when and where did they have this many demons...Hm. I must make alliances if I am to go back to the future..." |
| Posted by Zander on 09-28-2003 10:25 PM |
Zander looked confused.
"If she is from another time. What is it? Past or future?" |
| Posted by Fury Three on 09-28-2003 10:49 PM |
"So, you're Kyushin?" He takes several steps into the room and out of the light from outsite. "Take note, if you want to live. Those strangers that appeared in the forest and that you encountered have come here to kill you. They work for Lord Seraphus."
Kyushin scoffs. "I doubt that. Just how do you know this?"
A grin flashes across the man's face. "Allow me to demonstrate." The sword comes up again, this time with nothing in it's immediate path. "Is he crazy...?" In a metallic blur, the blade cuts through the air with a smooth swish.
"I think you're a few rocks short of a collection, old man."
On Kyushin's words, a powerful wind blasts into the building through the front door and every window, blowing the blinds clean off. Light fills the room, radiating from a floating sphere in front of the intruder, right where he swung the sword. Here the wind converges into a funnel, drawing in anything that isn't nailed down. The vacuum forces Kyushin to grab a nearby post and several of his men drop to the floor and try and make themselves as flat as possible. One unlucky soldier is lifted up into the wind and disappears inside the void. With a second swipe of the strange blade, the hole closes up and the wind comes to a eerily complete stop. "With this weapon I can go wherever I want. I can send people to their doom. I can move across the entire countryside in an instant."
Kyushin doesn't answer. His breath comes in deep, nearly panicked gasps. The adrenaline was pumping and it would take a good half hour to get over. Shakily, he nods and releases the post. "W-What's your name?"
"Nyx." |
| Posted by Gale on 09-28-2003 11:01 PM |
Lucas and his team of spies, despite being rather rag-tag, make their way through the forest quite proffesionally without making noise. Lock speaks hardly above a whisper to Lucas. "Where did you say they were?" "Around here." Shock, who was straying from the group already chimes in. "Is this them?" Barrel, Lucas and Shock quickly make their way over to Shock. Just as he said, a couple hundred meters away they could make out Ayn and Fury quite well. Lucas crosses his arms. "That's them." Lock, whose eyes could see the two humans like they were next to him cracks his knuckles. "The broad is pretty good lookin'." Barrel looks at him. "I didn't know you were into humans." Lock snarls. "I'm not." Barrel shakes his head. "You just said you were!" Lock growls. "I did not!" Lucas punches a tree. "Both of you shut up! They might be able to hear us!"
((Side Note: Please don't kill this group off. I plan on using them for a while.)) |

Back at Zanders the lights begin to flicker on and off before finnaly shutting down. The whole room grows cold, the soft sound of footsteps suddenyl appears from no where, followed by a voice that seemed to echo inside the darkness Zander, do you remember me?, its been quite a while since the accident the foot steps grew closer, till he could see the large shape of the strange man that had appeared below hours ago. His eyes still eeirly glowing blue. 'Tis I, Mikale Andreous, Ex-Leading General of the Heavenly knights He smiled and let the thought sink in a bit. It had been nearly 20 years since the accident. He placed his hand on the boys forehead and images and voices begin to scream through his mind...
Sitting in a breifing room, the face of the Commanding officer looking down to him and showing him the picture of a beautiful women"You are to protect her with your life at all times"......Sitting with her tears streaming down her face, hes holding her hands"You dont understand you were supposed to be just a mission, but i cant live with that, not with out you"....sitting in bed as she is getting dressed "Look i dont want you to go to that thing i have a bad feeling about it" she looked back at him "You know i dont have a choice, Im the leader of the Anti-War Establishment" He knodded "Yes you are, but your also the Princesses and the prime target that The Faction has been looking for" She smiled leaned in and kissed him "I'll be fine"...BOOM! An exsplosion rocked the building "KYRIA!" The floor cracked open and the demons began to climb up, intel was right the attack was real not just a paranoid thought from the general. The sounds of arrows flying through the air, The screams of the innocent being slaughtered. He began hacking through the demons, trying to run to his bride, she screamed his name and looked down to him as a demon grabbed her and yelled out " FOR THE FACTION!" and with that he placed a dagger on her throat and slit her throat, she fell to her knees gagging, the blood pooling around her, with her final breath she looked up to him and mouthed the words "im sorry", she than fell forward, dead. The Demons began to rejoice while the angels either lie dead or stunned at what had happened. Tears fell down his face as he realized what ahd happened> His eyes began to glow than burst into black falmes, the flames surrounded his body, he stretched out his large black wings and began to fire massive prbs of the black energy at the demons, killing everyone, and everything, innocent, or not..."You are herby forever banished from heaven, if ever you should return you shall be punished by death." than the hammer slammed down and echoed in the darkness...
He removed his hand from the boys forehead, an unseen tear falling from his face "Things arent allways as they seem boy, And things can tend to turn deadly when you take them for granted." he pauses a moment "Enough of my preaching, im here to warn you, i come from a group known only as Orion, Im in no position to tell you what we are. Anyways be weary of the silver moon, the time grows closer to when you too shall turn over to the darkness as the rest of your family." and with that the lights flicekr back on and no trace of the man could be found. That except for the mark now imprinted on the childs forehead. |

((Okay, here goes nothing.....hope this doesn't suck >_<))
The woods were dark and ominous this night, with serpentine tendrils of fog writhing their way through the trees. All was quiet, save for the almost unnoticeable sound of labored breathing coming from the entrance of a small underground cave. Taking refuge against a wall of the cave was a woman, about 19 in age, clutching a hand to a terrible wound on her side that had turned her periwinkle robe to crimson. At first she appeared Human in form, but upon further investigation, one would discover that she had very long pointed ears and a catlike prehensile tail. Her name was Karakuri, and she was a Half-Demon. Though she desperately strove to be a gentle, kind-hearted and friendly being, people always acted out in anger or fear once they learned of her lineage. Just the day before, she had been taken in by a smithy and his family in a village on the outskirts of the woods. He had gone out to hunt for their evening meal and had met great misfortune. Once his naive son had blurted out that Karakuri was a Half-Demon, the villagers believed the smithy's accident to have been her doing and chased after her. The deep wound she had gained was the result of a swift-footed fellow having gotten close enough to her to deal some serious damage with a Kwan Dao. Thinking of nothing better to do, she cursed her father for ever having fallen in love with her mother and dooming her to a life of sorrow and scorn. Many times she had tried to use the unique powers she had inherited from her father for good purposes, but each time something had occured that made people distrust her or wish to bring her harm. She wondered if she had somehow been jinxed to have such bad luck to follow her around - for all those incidents were not her fault at all. As she lay there against the wall struggling to stay alive and remain hidden, she secretly hoped that the man who struck her had not injured a lung, for it was becoming harder and more painful for her to breathe. Running her free hand through her long dark green hair, Karakuri gazed on through the fog snaking around the woods and wished with all her heart that someone unafraid of demons would find her and rescue her from her pursuers - and soon. She had already lost a lot of blood, and if the injury didn't kill her, the great loss of blood would.....
[Note: Her name is rather clever and cool; it is the Japanese word for "Mechanism", and the name of the first manga made by Masashi Kishimoto - creator of the awesome manga "Naruto"] |

((oy vay...long posts. Must read again closer.))
Rikali and Rose come across Fury and Ayn. Riki is breathing hard, her wounds beginning to severly sap at her strength. Rose seems edgy and uncomfortable. Her form raidates power, creating a dark halo around her. Rikali doesn't see their companions, lost in staring at Rose with a mixture of amazement and caution. Rose, however, spies Fury. "Fury!" |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-29-2003 05:40 PM |
| She turns in the direction of the voice, then looks back into the forest.. The smell of dark energy seeps into her nostrils, it's a bitter, yet pleasant odor. In her mind, it represents all she stands against, and she'll do anything to destroy it.. She calmly walks away into the forest without a word. |
| Posted by Zander on 09-29-2003 05:54 PM |
Zander sat on the floor.
"Why did Mikale show me this?" |
| Posted by Gale on 09-29-2003 05:56 PM |
| We aware that Ayn is after her, Gale's voice echoes in her mind. "It seems the times of petty insults are revelations are over. The end is drawing ever-closer, even in the past..." |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-29-2003 06:01 PM |
| She huffs to herself slightly. "You haven't the ability to play mind games.. You fell for one yourself when you gave Rand Malgavita's Stone.." |
| Posted by Gale on 09-29-2003 06:05 PM |
| "The stone could be mine, if I had any need-...." Gale stops, obviously something came to mind. He quickly continues. "for the damn thing. I don't though. Though the way you run around, filled with malice and revenge, reminds me of...well me to be honest. I'm so damn proud!" Gale snickered. "Even if you did kill me, you could very well do it on your own. You and me are two sides to the same coin." |
| Posted by Zander on 09-29-2003 06:06 PM |
Zander looked into a big room in his house.
'I need to restore my food."
He orbed himself to the market in the nearest town.
"I am so hungry." |
| Posted by Ayn on 09-29-2003 06:11 PM |
| This causes her to arch a subconscious eyebrow. "Haha.. I'm sure you'll be plenty 'proud' once the earth has destroyed you, the way it destroyed your entire race.." |
