Re: Megiddo
The Ogre is sent crashing to the floor, splitting it bellow him. The Bull huffs in anger and rises again. Deciding it will require faster attacks to destroy it's adversary, it follows the Dragon-Demon with it's head and launches its own horns toward her at an incrediable speed. Without even waiting to see if the attack connected, the Bull regrows its horns and charges.
Lara was now standing at the top of one of the bookcases, and was currently looking down on Cloud, Hayate and Riki. She mutters something in Abbissian, most likely curses, as her hand glows red and she aligns it with the rafters above Cloud. "****ing halfwit." In a burst of flame the rafter above Cloud is ignited and falls toward the possesed man but, with Lara's careful precision, would miss Hayate and Riki by only a few feet. Lara than leaps down, prepared to face Cloud if her tactic fails. |
Re: Megiddo
Cloud lifts his arms and the rafter hovers over his head. It then begins to break into peices and the small pebbles are thrown at Lara. He lowers his arms and extends his hand as one of the orbs float into his hands and dissapates. Behind Lara, an enormous Titan appears. Cloud smirks as the summon raises his large fist, prepairing to bring it down on the femal Abbis. He begins to examine his hands and grins. "This idiotic human has no idea what he's capable of. He relied on that pathetic demon far too much. I guess it's time to take full advantage of this new power." The other red orb lowers in his hand as colored symbols float about him. He chants and the orb slowely and gently floats over to where Riki and Hayate rest and dissapates.
|
Re: Megiddo
After the few terrifying moments, Riki gasps and begins to cough. She looks up at her savior, a dazed look in her eyes. "You saved me..?"
Rikalenna shrieks as the horns impale her chest, barely missing her heart. Bending her neck, she sinks her teeth into the back of the Bull's neck and shakes her head viciously side to side. Inside her mouth, another lightning-energy blast begins to grow. When it gets big enough, she releases it, the Bull still in her jaws. |
Re: Megiddo
I.. guess I did. First time for everything, I guess. But I get the distinct feeling things are going to get a lot worse before they get better. Tell you what. I'll get you out of this library, I don't think you're in a fit state to keep fighting.
He picks Riki gently up, and escorts her towards the door to the library. The red orb is worrying him slightly, but he decides not to bother Riki with more bad news |
Re: Megiddo
The ground beneath Hayate and Riki begins to shake as they exit the Castle. A hole filled with a red glow appears in front of them as an enormous demon floats out of it, breathing fire and eyeing the pair viciously. The large demon then darts at them, ready to devour them in one bite. Meanwhile, Cloud hears the commotion and laughs, walking away from Lara and sitting ontop of a peice of a bookshelf. Picking up the nearest book that is still in tact and opens it, allowing the creatures to do the work and ignoring all the loud commotion of the battles surrounding him.

Re: Megiddo
As the demon lunges forwards, it's head slams into a searing wall of plasma, glowing as brightly as the sun and at roughly the same temperature. The wall of blazing charged particles strips off the outer layers of it's skin, while the searing heat affects its concentration and blinds it
Oh, go back to Hell. I am not in the mood for this. Unfortunately for you, I left this aspect of my power unbound. He lowers his hand and reaches out once more into the firmament, making small changes here and here. The only visible change back in base-reality, however, is the formation of another dark orb in Hayate's hand If Cloud wants to fight, he'd better do better than these toys |
Re: Megiddo
Cloud grows aggitated and continues to look on as Legion fights the Fury. The red orb appears near Cloud and it shrinks dramaticaly, letting itself down into his pocket. "You need to stop playing with the creation. End it if you are planning to, he can't very well kill you."
|
Re: Megiddo
Quote:
So everything regenerates. "I can outmanuever him all I want... He'll just grow back like a damn..." "You really are a cockroach." Kyushin charges on cue and swings into Legion's dual swords with a smash, rendering them useless for the proper milliseconds required to strike, then slashes into his side and continues the charge past Legion. "There's nothing I can do to phase him... But luckily he doesn't seem able to strike me yet." |
Re: Megiddo
Riki watches fearfully as the firey demon lunges and is turned aside. She is angery with herself at her weakness. She should be fighting alongside Hayate, not cowering in his arms like a maiden. She squrims and tries to lower herself to the ground. "Let me fight."
|
Re: Megiddo
Cloud takes out his gun and aims it at her other knee. "It would be wise to stay down, you wretch." Cloud grips the blunt end of the gun tightly, ready to shoot out her heart.
|
Re: Megiddo
Lara seems somewhere between pissed off and amused by the Summon. "What a human thing to do as to rely on orbs of power that they themselves didn't even create. Dispell!" A symbol appears on the chest of Titan, threatening to tear it out of existance in all but moments. "My kind flourished in the Dark Arts and strived to master it. Hell, I can sense illusions in this very room" ((Who remembers the secret of the library? (Psst,Gale's Castle 2!))
Legion only scowls at Cloud, and turns back to Kyushin upon being refered to as a "Cockroach." "Jealous? Face it, you're out of your league. Old, outdated, inferior. While it seems you're the strongest of the Furys, you are but shadow of what I am. I was beyond you before my transformation, but now I am greater than all of Rand's previous creations. You are nothing more than a being that has lost his purpose. Of course, that can change. You do realize that if you return to your creator, you will survive this and live in his perfect world. What can you possibly gain where you stand? Death?" Legion crosses his arms, awaiting Kyushin's response. |
Re: Megiddo
Cloud laughs at Lara's statement. "I don't see you use too many 'dark arts', Abbis. And although the humans didn't create these magic toys, they learned to harnass them. Do you really believe that I myself can't beat you without the use of magic tricks? Tell you what, you give me a fight with the weapon only a great Abbis like you would know how to use." He lowers the gun from Riki and tosses it to Lara, along with a few extra shells. "You ready to fight me?" Cloud recalls Titan and unsheathes the Dread Buster, holding it infront of him diagnoly like a shield. He begins to slowely walk to her.
|
Re: Megiddo
Kyushin comes to a stop and turns to face Legion again, lowering his sword. For a moment he seems to be lost in thought, as if Legion's words had touched on something. The image of a razed city and ember sky flashes before his eyes and falls onto a dark, reeking pile amongst burning houses. Two obscured figures stand on opposite rooftops, eyes glowing with fire. "There is no point to living life as a tool. You're the tool now." He grips his katana tighter and bores into Legion's face with his steely glare. "Enjoy it while you can. I'll be seeing you in the junkyard." He bolts forward again and thrusts a stab square at Legion's center of mass.
|
Re: Megiddo
((damn my lost Internet connection. I have returned!))
Riki coughs slightly, her throat still sore. "Two words, Cloud. **** and you." Riki shoots a volly at Cloud. The Dragon-demon tosses the Bull's either dead or paralyzed body to the side. Hissing in delight, it lunges at the Ogre. |
Re: Megiddo
Ayn sighs slightly, although it's an expression to release mental tension. "So.. After all these years you still have to weaken me by putting me in one of these?" She sidesteps out of the way of the bubble and climbs onto a large slab of rock; she needed Gale to keep attacking her while she defended and waited for the right moment.
|
Re: Megiddo
Gale scoffs at Ayn's comment as the bubble silently curves back at Ayn. "And where are your attacks, Almighty Gaia? Your physical counterpart has shoke and cried in fear of me, do you not see the storms and darkness?"
__ In an attempt to destroy Kyushin's blade and stop his attack, Legion stabs both of his blades across his chest, attempting to catch Kyushin's katana. Lara smirks and takes the gun. "Just shut up and fight, pinhead." |
Re: Megiddo
Ayn bites her lip, not answering. She hesitates for a moment before diving at Gale, her sword held diagonally in front of her to block an attack that might come her way. The bubble is not far behind.
|
Re: Megiddo
With a smirk, Gale charges upward with his sword held vertically infront of him in an attempt to knock Ayn back into the bubble that is quickly approaching behind her.
|
Re: Megiddo
"Enough interferences." Cloud turns and deflects Riki's attack and sighs, waving a hand through his hair. He then dashes at Lara without warning, slashing the sword at her in a barrage of attacks.
|
Re: Megiddo
Quote:
Kyushin's sword crashes noisily into the blades in a flurry of sparks. Sure enough, it becomes lodged between the sharpened edges and screeches with both combatants' combined efforts. In all absurdity, Kyushin removes his right hand from his weapon's hilt and risks holding the stalemate with just one arm. He reaches behind his back slowly and eyes Legion mockingly. Ranna is curiously absent from it's resting place. |
Re: Megiddo
Ayn's sword meets Gale's with a loud clang, and she puts all her weight into her momentum, trying not to get tossed back. Unfortunately, due to her light frame she didn't have much choice but stumble backwards towards the bubble. She cusses and dives out of the way of the bubble, once again caught in a desperate situation: She needed to one, get rid of the bubble and two, stop Gale before he can escape.
|
Re: Megiddo
Lara jumps back and kicks the remains of the table at Cloud before firing the gun at him.
Legion smirks and also moves one blade and forcefully crashes the right hand sword in Kyushin's, attempting to knock it away while he spins around to slash at Kyushin's throat. __ Gale does a serious of backflips to put some distance between himself and Ayn. Upon landing about thirty feet away, he tosses Sin down and extends both hands. His aura flares, and a beam of energy extends toward Ayn. The ground underneath the beam ignites, scorching the earth bellow. |
Re: Megiddo
Ayn crouches to the ground, then leans backwards as she leaps in a backflip, jumping over the bubble. She bats at it with her sword, sending it straight at the beam of energy. She doubted the bubble would catch the entire blast but in her eyes it was better than being hit head-on.
_________ The ogre-demon raises its club and smashes it down the ground, not really caring if it hit friend or foe. Its only goal was to destroy everything in its path. |
Re: Megiddo
Cloud slices through the table with ease as the bullets lodge into his unprotected shoulder and one lodges itself into his gut. He grunts a bit and begins his attack on the Abbis again, a slash from his sword skimming the bridge of her nose.
|
Re: Megiddo
Rikalenna dodges the ogre's attack and snarls. Battlelust shines brightly in its silver eyes. Shrieking, it lunges at the Ogre, attempting to tear through its stomach.
|
Re: Megiddo
Unfortunately for Rikalenna, the bull had recovered and had just finished charging it's mouth demon. Before she could take further notice, a piercing beam of energy is fired toward the Demon-Dragon.
Lara hisses in pain and extends her hand which ignites with flame. She attempts to catch Cloud's clothing and set him on fire. __ A smile tugs on Gale lips as the bubble is filled with his own blast and turned into something of a warhead. With a smug expression, Gale continues to fire the beam, pushing the bomb back toward Ayn. |
Re: Megiddo
An island of calm in an ocean of battle, Hayate surveys the scene. Bullets and bolts whizzing near him seem to leave him fairly unruffled as he walks through the library. When he gets to the less damaged end, he rights a chair and sits down, leaving the Murasame on the floor near him. It's hard to tell what he's thinking, but he looks tired and perfectly content just to watch the unfolding battles He occasionally looks down to check his watch, but usually keeps watching Cloud fight

Re: Megiddo
Quote:
With lightning fast speed, Kyushin ducks under the swing and steps beside him. As Legion comes out of his spin, Kyushin's right arm comes back around with a second sword in hand, which he stabs into Legion's gut and all the way out his back. He stays in this position for a moment to let it sink in. "Cockroach." A crackle of electricity jumps from Legion's exit and entry wounds and the blade he's impaled on begins to glow. Then a sphere of dark light appears inside the demon, radiating through his flesh, and courses with tiny bolts of static. This persists and pulses for several seconds, then winks out. Finally it materializes physically, sending a ripple across the surrounding reality, and a black void opens from within Legion's stomach, instantly annihiliating everything from his lower chest to his knees. Waves of light crash into the portal and it collapses with a roar, leaving Legion's parts to fall free. Kyushin stands back up and sheathes both swords behind his back. |
Re: Megiddo
The Ogre-demon snarls, the air passing through its nostrils and around its fangs making a low whistling noise. The attack to its stomach slices through the first and second outer layers of skin, the second layer actually having nerve endings. In response, it raises its spiked club and sends it downwards on the dragon's head.
_____________ In response, Ayn sends a blast of ice at the newly created missle, attempting to freeze it. Then she would be able to knock it back towards Gale before it detonated. |
Re: Megiddo
Legion screeches as he crashes to the ground, a familliar situation. He withers in mock-agony as his right claw grows red. After a few more moments of howling, he strikes forward. Legion's claw digs into Kyushin's stomach, a smug expression on the Demon's face. "Time to join me."
__ Gale frowns as the bomb is frozen in place and deciding a direct hit is now out of the question, he decides to take what he can get and draws Sin back to him. The blade morphs into a firearm which he fires into the frozen bomb, detonating it. |
Re: Megiddo
Cloud swings his sword back and grabs Lara, allowing her flaming hand to touch his shirt. He grabs her hair and pulls her unto his shirt, giving her no choice but to dispell the flame. "Heh.. you didn't have to do that, I'm already hot enough." Cloud smirks sadisticly, raising the sword above his head.
|
Re: Megiddo
The Dragon-Demon is hit by both attacks. It staggers uncertaintly on its feet. A large, bloody hole has opened in its side, and she has suffered a harsh concussion. It groans in pain and backs up. "Why won't either of these things die?" She barely feels the racking pain of the wound, but she feels her life's blood dripping from her. Snarling, she works herself into a corner. She shrieks at the two behemoths, the noise grating on the ears of the others.
Riki watches the battles from the other side of the room. Inable to walk, she's frustrated at her weakness. "Damn it all." Vengeance was almost out of ammo. She'd have to make the last shots count. |
Re: Megiddo
Ayn's eyes widen and she crouches down, sheilding her head and vital organs with her arms and legs. The blast tears at her flesh causing a searing pain to shoot up and down her limbs. Once the explosion dissipates, she falls backwards, dazed and wondering if it would have been better to just try to avoid the blast in the first place.

Re: Megiddo
Quote:
Kyushin's eyes shoot wide and he glares down at Legion, half surprised, half enraged. Knowing what would happen next, he clutches the demon's wrist with both hands. His entire body begins to glow red like Legion's claw and a look of desperation crosses his face. Legion was rapidly draining all his strength, and soon would be draining his life. With a fraction of a second to spare, he snatches Ranna off his back, swings over his head, and cuts Legion's hand clean off. The glow fades and he stumbles backwards, panting. |
Re: Megiddo
Legion sneered at failling to aborb Kyushin, but then switches his effort into regenerating himself. It'd take a few moment, hopefully less than Kyushin had to recover.
Lara snarls. "I'll shut you up..." Lara knees Cloud in the stomach and scrambles away. __ There a crack and Gale is infront of Ayn. His left hand extends and wraps around her float. With a flick of his wrist, she's tossed effortlessly into a nearby ruin. The Abbis closes in calmly, Sin flickering with red and white energy. He points it at the fallen Ayn, and the sky begins to crack as if it were glass that was beginning to shatter. "This is the end of this long conflict, my agony, this worthless world, and your life." |
Re: Megiddo
****! She lay there, taking ragged breaths and struggling to sit herself up. The back of her felt as if needles were pressing into every nerve ending, sending shots of agony through her body. ****.. I can't move.. ****..
A nasty, cynical little voice squeaks inside her head. "So.. This is the end of the line. You didn't even give your best shot, and the world, no, existence as you know it is going to come to an end. Way to go, Gaia. Those people- Jekin, One, Bianca.. They all died because of this. You could have avenged them all. Now they've all died in vain. It's all your fault, Ayn." "No.. Ciņ non puņ essere reale.. (This can't be real)" Ayn bows her head, muttering to herself in the native language. |
Re: Megiddo
Gale raises and eyebrow at Ayn's utterance, but shakes it off. He didn't have time to dwell on it, his victory was about to unfold. Sin morphs into a gun, and vibrates violenty, as if it was about to be torn apart by the two keys enpowering it. The 'cracks' in the sky turn red and it seems that, as with Sin, the entire world was about to be torn inside-out.
Gale's thumb pulls back the hammer of Sin, the click following is drowned out by the lightning cascading from the cracks and striking the ground whimfully. The soul factor that kept Gale from fighting was the defiance of the dimentional walls and boundaries to break. It wouldn't only take a few more moments, but those same moments could still be used to stop Gale. Sweat trickles down Gale's forhead as he awaits his cue to arrive. |
Re: Megiddo
Cloud snarls and backs away, ripping his shirt off and sheathing his sword. He looks at the woman with an evil smile, yet his eyes tell a far different story. He then takes out a very shiny red orb from his pocket, images of knights and swords and axes of mideval days flash inside the red sphere. He lets the orb levitate and it begins darting around his body, shaking. "Please run, Abbis. If not for me then for Bianca and your brother." He looks at the small girls corpse on the ground and his eyes redden, watering a bit. He then becomes a sinister demon yet again, laughing madly as he points to Lara, the orb flying at her face.
|
Re: Megiddo
Still panting from the loss of energy, Kyushin looks over at Legion. He was planning to regenerate and kill him using his own power. "I'll have none if it..." He sheathes Ranna and regains his composure as best he can. Without anything further, he disappears.
|
Re: Megiddo
The ogre-demon emits a grunt from its belly, having sensed the deterioating barriers between dimensions. It stomps the ground furiously, apparently in distress.
____ Ayn tilts her head back, staring at the shattered sky. Her mutterings increase in volume, still in her first-spoken language. Her voice is clear but she speaks too swiftly to make out any real words; it sounded as if she were speaking a nonsense language devoid of any meaning, however it becomes obvious she's speaking for some purpose. The iris and pupil of her eyes disappear as her eyes and vision become a bright white. |
