((When I said that Gwen was supposed to "vanish" in this scene, I didn't mean literally - her personality is absorbed and destroyed, and replaced with someone else in the same body. If you'd like to avoid a major edit, we can say that she just fainted (from damage) and Thanatos was interrupted.))
Return to Cradle (Roleplay. Apps accepted!)
(EEEPIC RAP BATTLES OF OFHISTORY!!!!!!)
Edit: (Wait, have you guys just been waiting for me to post? I actually didn't develop what the mask would be.)
((Valentine just asked Dagoon what the inscription meant.))
((Am I the only one who thinks this RP has gone on too long?))
((Probably, By around post 1000 is when I feel it should end. . . but. . . another 500 won't be bad either, Especially for the new charcter(s) that have gotten introduced.(Vin, Valentine,Skye)))
(Should we act the rest of this in the actual game? If so, I'll be in haven 7.)
((@Thinslayer: It does seem to be getting a little stretched, but I don't think we should give up. After all, we're getting close to the 3 main antagonists now))
Chappers
"They... They hurt me everytime... Mummy always fights with daddy and whenever I tried to make them stop fighting they would yell at me instead... And sometimes daddy would punch me..." Cleo stopped and rubbed tears from her eyes. "I ran away from home... Because they were mean to me... They never allowed me to play with other people and... I never had a friend... Until recently... But he hated me and tried to kill me..." She finished
Chappers knew that the best medicine for these kind of things, was a hug. So, he moved forward and hugged the Morai while patting her on the back. "There, there. Your mummy and daddy can't hurt you anymore." Chappers said as Cleo sobbed into his shoulder. Soon enough, he pulled away and spoke again. "You know, people never liked me either. They kept saying I was too weak, or completely worthless... So, if you'd like, I will be your friend." He said.
Chappers noticed Axis on a nearby ridge, speaking to Arkus, Trivoc, and Ikaros. The group (except for Arkus) then proceeded to run in the opposite direction from the Cobalt Knight. [I wonder what's going on...] He thought, before turning back to Cleo. [I'll catch up with them later. I know the way back to the group]
Trivoc
In response to his confession of fear of losing her, Ikaros responded with a hug. And like the first time, Trivoc blushed as she pressed against him, most likely because of her new armor. "Don't worry. I'm not going to die just yet." She said as she gave him a peck on his cheek. The, Ikaros stepped backwards, and slapped Trivoc hard across the face.
"Ow! What was that for?" He asked, rubbing the place where the hit landed. "You don't need to protect me! I'm strong enough to do that myself!" Ikaros said with a frown. Trivoc was a little worried that she meant that she didn't need him, but these worries were cast away when Ikaros' frown turned into a grin. After which, she moved close to him again and kissed the cheek which she slapped. It seemed to heal the pain better than any first-aid supply.
"Still, I'm glad that you were thinking of me." She said with a smile. Trivoc returned it, when Arkus interrupted them again. He let out a "d'awww", before talking. "Hey! I've found him, follow me." He said. The trio went over a bridge that led them towards a nearby island.
"Hey Chappers, what are you doing over here?" Arkus shouted over a distance. "I found this female Morai, she seems to be in shock though. You guys might want to let me handle this." Chappers said. Arkus acknowledged it, and then turned around. "I suppose we should just wait for him to finish whatever he's doing." The Guardian said as they headed back to the previous island.
While they walked, The Swarm suddenly materialized in front of them, and released Axis, who landed flat on the ground of The Sanctuary. Ikaros seemed to laugh at this, but Trivoc and Arkus looked at the Morai seriously.
"We need to get back to haven NOW!" Axis exclaimed. When the Enforcer noticed them looking at him with puzzled expressions, he spoke in between gasps of breath. "Diablo. Sylark. Took all its power." He said.
As Axis' statement started to sink in, all three of them were visibly scared. "But... To power the Skylark, the engines have to pump at least five hundred tons of Crystal Energy every day." Ikaros said. Trivoc continued it. "And since the Skylark always has AT LEAST a year's supply of fuel... This is bad. Really, really bad. We have to warn the others." He said.
Trvoc and Axis started dashing back to the group, with Ikaros following in the air. "I'll wait here for Chappers! You guys go on ahead!" Arkus shouted after them.
---
Eventually, the group had managed to return to the area of The Sanctuary where everyone else was in. "Hey! Everyone listen up!" Trivoc announced. This had gotten the attention of Alpha Squad, The King Valkyrie, and a Knight in a Snarbolax Coat. He wasn't sure where Archemiday and Dagoon were, though.
"Axis has just returned from Haven, and according to him, Diablo has drained all the power of The Skylark, and is still on the hunt for more." Trivoc said. When everyone just looked at him, he continued speaking to let his statements sink in. "The Skylark's energy supply is just a little bit short of The Core. Meaning we're might be fighting Diablo sooner, not later." He said.
Now, everyone in the group looked anxious.
@Azure: Thrynn's with Archemiday, And he's also In the sanctuary, but because I have no idea what that place looks like,
I'd say he's out of hearing range. There's only so much text can do.
Dagoon
"What do you think this means?" Dagoon looked at it for a while and replied, "I'm not sure, but I guess I'll wear it."
Dagoon could hear something explode off in the distance through the nearby elevator.
"So much for the campfire. Whatever that was, It was big. We need to get there quick."
(Seatus)
I am in one of the maintenance pods, a cylindrical chamber that has a metal flooring and ceiling, but walls made of two inch thick glass. I look around as it floats through the Clockworks, but I don't see any sign of the Final. This is bad. This beast can most likely end whatever it wants, when it wants. I must stop it before it destroys Diablo, for if it does it will end the Swarm with it. As soon as this happens the universe will be caught off balance, and collapse around us. WHERE IS IT!!!!
I press a button against the glass, and the pod increases its speed. I am looking but-
There. I see Diablo but...Oh Gods. It's inside of him! A shimmering gold essence is inside of him. I jump through the glass and land behind Diablo, but carefully. I jump again, and land in a tree above him. He either surrenders the beast, or we are forsaken. I pray to Alice for Cheshire's Gift, and find myself invisible, but with an uncontrollable grin the only thing visible, along with my eyes.

Diablo
I smashed a hole in the hull of the Skylark to test my new strength. I grinned in pleasure as i got more than i bargained for; i expected to make a hole, but instead i sent the spacecraft flying into orbit. I cackled sadistically, but my happiness was suddenly stopped. I sensed something behind me. I turned around, but it looked like nothing was there. I knew better. I felt through the air and "saw" that Snarbolax, Seatus. I snarled. "Might as well come out, I can see you anyway." The Snarbolax didn't respond; it simply lay in wait. I sighed, but suddenly noticed two enormous dark energies within the vicinity. I concentrated and... Ah. It was that weakling Thanatos and Atropos. I sighed. Those two would end up devouring all the life energy on Cradle before me. That wasn't about to happen on my watch. I absentmindedly shot the invisible Snarbolax, who barely let out a squeal, then teleported, transforming my entire being into pure dark essence. I shot towards the location of Thanatos.
I crashed into the ground with enormous amounts of force, creating a titanic crater around me. I spotted Thanatos and Atropos staring eagerly at the crater, most likely hoping i was some weak snack. They were sorely mistaken. I crawled out of the hole and was met with a not-so-friendly greeting: Thanatos snarled and Atropos bared her teeth in anger. I held up my hands in surrender. Ah, these two and i went way back. I had defeated Thanatos himself in single combat when he tried to rebel against the Valkyries ((Infernus mentions it somewhere in this thread that Thanatos fought the Valkyries.)). As for Atropos, i had stolen so many souls from her that she referred to me as a "Vog-damned fox". I laughed at them. "No use trying to attack me now, I'm already far more powerful than you." The two of them narrowed their eyes in disbelief; it was only to be expected, since they were the incarnations of death itself. Thanatos asked angrily, "Then what are you here for?" I grinned, flashing my curved bladelike fangs. "As a famous death god used to say..."
"How about we make a deal?"
"We need to get there, quick!" Dagoon said, and began packing her bags. Valentine gave her a hand, and within a couple minutes they were rushing to the elevator. It seemed like forever before it reached the surface, but when they got there, they saw only the usual sights - Haven, black Skylark...wait a sec, it's not supposed to look like that. "What's that? If that's a ship, then it's insanely huge." [Dagoon's reply goes here]
They advanced into the ship, weapons drawn. They both saw a massive hole in the side, and upon investigating it, they spotted two dark figures looking into a hole in the ground. "I know their types," whispered Valentine. "Dark abducters. They steal your soul and eat your body for power. They're not very good at fighting usually, and make for stupid criminals, since I always catch them red-handed."
(Turbo-Tastic!)
"What's that? If that's a ship, then it's insanely huge." Dagoon looked at it. "Well, that's a fine ship If I've ever seen one!
Not that I've ever been to Haven. . ." (Can't have gone into orbit, After all Thinslayer decides how much destruction there is.)
They slowly walked towards the ship. ("Oh no! a battle!" "How can you tell?" "Strategic structures." This ) Upon nearing the hole, they both dodged to the side of a Haven shop. "I know their types," whispered Valentine. "Dark abducters. They steal your soul and eat your body for power. They're not very good at fighting usually, and make for stupid criminals, since I always catch them red-handed." Dagoon whispered to Valentine "Well, considering you might be in the future, you shouldn't underestimate them. Shall we stay behind cover and watch whatever's going to happen?"
"Me? Stay behind cover and watch? Heck no! I'm going in there." And with that, she lept into the fight. Her sword did minimal damage, but it caught a few of the combatants by surprise. She twirled her blade and grinned. "Time to take *you* two to the slammer! You're under arrest for the murder of..." she looked around, "...about a million people."
(Serjinxable, We were wondering if you could make our battles in SpiralSpy)
(Seatus)
"Oh damn it!" I mutter as he disappears, not even for the bullet in my coat. I throw the trenchcoat and hat to the ground and sit in complete angery silence. The Final could potentially kill Diablo...but it would kill the Swarm within him as well....
I know I should continue to search for it, but I have no idea where Diablo went. It's a cold trail, and it would take my hours to find him and get the Final out of him. I must get the Hero Weapons. I disappear to Sanctuary.
When I get there the whole place is practically empty. I walk to the waters and open them up as I normally do with the reflection, and walk down the stairs to Sector 4. As I enter, I find a huge Owlite Keep, and Owlites flying all around it.
"So this is where you went," I whisper, "the Core must like you..." I walk in as they keep going about their business. They must have already foreseen my coming and expressed their awe for anyone entering the Keep then.
I walk to the end of the hall and turn left, and a black door is in front of me. An Owlite in it's prime is inlaid in gold on the door I send my thoughts to the gold Owlite. Snaro bola laxa
"Proceed," it whispers as the door swings open to a floating golden Wrench Wand-like object. I step up to it and take it's handle, and the diamond at the top turns red. I take it out of the room and the door swings shut behind me as I walk down the hall and out of the Keep. I walk to the doorway and exit, closing it behind me.
As I step out of Sanctuary's waters, I fall to the ground, and see the bullet hole in my shoulder. I reach in and roar as I pull out the bullet, covered in-what? Tiny black specks fall from the bullet. I cast it away and step into the waters to heal.
I got to get someone...brave to weild this Wand.
((Actually, I was quite surprised myself to see how long this RP is!))
First person perspective?
Tch, it's him..... As the cloud of dust began to dissipate, a figure crawled from the crater which surprised both of us before. That disgusting face I'll never forget... that bastard who I will remember for an eternity....
"Diablo..." I growled as he walked towards me with that... disgusting look on his face.... who do he think he is?
"No Thanatoss.... don't..." Atropos motioned at me, she knew that our chances of victory is futile... for now. "You truly are foolisssh to face us alone..."
"No use trying to attack me now, I'm already far more powerful than you." he replied with a laugh, I knew that he was much more powerful... But how did he became this strong so quickly?
"Ssskylark... Nice move you did there..." Atropos grinned as she looked up at the sky, is that what Diablo did?
"What do want with me here... Other than a sword in your dagger..." I chuckled a bit, showing both sarcasm and inetional meaning from those words. "You want to clash blade? Is that wha-"
"Calm yoursssself Thanatosss!" Atropos interrupted me, "If he wassss here to fight you... Why do you think he issa talking to ussss now?"
I gritted my teeth, what she said was true but.... This disgusting sight just gave me a string urge to kill him! After what he done to me thousand years ago...
"As a famous God of Death used to say..." Diablo grinned, heck he stole my power now he's stealing my line!
"How about we make a deal?"
"You expect me to make a deal... With the very person who tried to kill me?" I laughed and clapped my hands, "Never in a thousand years..."
"Incoming!" Atropos growled as a blade went straight into my chest, it's creepy how these usual things wouldn't even hurt me at all... I turned my back to see who interrupted our small 'conversation'... It's just a puny Enforcer...
She pulled the blade from my chest and twirled it. "Time to take two to the slammer! You're under arrest for the murder of..." she looked around, "...about a million people."
"... What?" I scoffed and looked at the girl in confusion, is she brave or foolish? "Begone mortal... You are lucky enough that you haven't been added to the entry of Tartarus.." I growled and the dark book dropped to my hand, "Your fate is... to be utterly fell to silence!"
The Book's pages flipped wildly as ultramarine runes flowed from it, the runes quickly got in contact with the girl and she collapsed to the ground, sleeping.
"Why did you not ssslay that girl?! Ssshe'sss a weakling!" Atropos hissed in anger, she scartched my face with her long sharp nails- it hurts more than the sword that thrusted my chest....
"I... I don't know why..." I sighed as I looked at the girl, "I don't know why but... She seemed... Special..."
"Whatever... Diablo... I think we will take your offer..." Atropos smiled and turned to me.
I mouthed a silent 'What?!' as my only reaction to what she had said, why would she ever-
"Yes Diablo, I really meant We" Atropos hissed at me, I knew that I won't be able to have my own opinion from now on...
((But hopefully we'll get back on track with the Morai-Isoran War. We're hitting the climax as I realize what me, Gwen, Atropos, and Thanatos must do to end Diablo. It ain't good....this story won't have QUITE a happy ending))
first person prespective for Cleo also!
"There, there. Your mummy and daddy can't hurt you anymore." Chappers whispered gently as my tears fell to his armor, I couldn't bear all of the pain any longer.. It hurts too much to hold it for so long. And the only way for me to be able to let it go is by crying.
"You know, people never liked me either. They kept saying I was too weak, or completely worthless... So, if you'd like, I will be your friend." He said, the things he said... It reminded me of my past and... No... Kazam wanted me dead... He isn't... A friend anymore...
"Friend?" I whisper, those words... Are what Kazam exactly once asked me... Could I trust him? What if he betrays me? I... No, I trust him because... I...
"Thank you..." I smiled and hugged Chappers tightly. "Promise me... That you won't abandon me at all...."
I could feel something from my back, the axe shoned brightly as it shredded it's dark skin- revealing a silver shining axe... The true form of Labrys...
"Cleo!" a voice called out to me, I turned around to see who it was- it was...
"Step aside soldier..." Theo spoke to Chappers as he brandished his blade, what is he doing?
"Theo... What are you-" I shrieked as he pointed his sword at me, is he going to kill me? Are Thanatos' words are true? That he had become evil?
"Forgive me... But this is for my brothers' sake..." he sighed and swung his blade.
"I will... Help you Theo... I will save you from evil!" I replied at him and grabbed my axe.
Valentine fell into a light sleep, but woke right back up. She chuckled at the dark abducter and pointed at him. "I know that trick! I'm not falling for that again." She twirled her sword, spun and sliced the book in twain. Hundreds of pages floated to the ground. She grinned at Thanatos. "You got some nerve putting an enforcer to sleep!" She sheathed her sword, flipped over him and tied his hands in one swift motion. She the looked at Atropos. "I'm not going to arrest you because there is no evidence that you consumed any lives." With surprising strength, she grabbed Thanatos by the shoulder and was about to leave with him when she saw a massive black Valkyrie standing behind her. "Uh oh...is that who I think it is?"
((Depending on Thanatos' response, she may cut him a deal. If he will help bring Diablo down, she'll fudge the numbers of the lives he took to lessen his sentence.))
Axis looked at the girl with a shocked expression. She was a complete idiot, you couldn't just arrest death. Not to mention the fact that Diablo was right there. This made him think, everyone around him was more powerful then him, he noticed Trivoc wielding some new weapon, Ikaros had been boosted by the valkyries, Gwen had immeasurable power, Diablo, Thanatos, and the other girl were inhuman. He contacted the swarm, "Master I need more power." "I couldn't even fight Thanatos with help from the valkyrie queen, I need more." He waited for a response from his shadowy master.
Mor'Loki responded to Axis, "No need, soldier. I'm right here!" He had quietly flown in behind Axis, and was watching the scene unfold with interest. "We should not participate just yet. Let them slay each other first."
((Say, does Thanatos have a more humanoid form?))
(Since snipes are really hard characters to play. . . This post will be edited a lot. Other news: Let's have a party at haven 7!)
Passy watched as a truly sinister looking man passed by and then attacked at an enforcer. ((Wait, Enforcer? If so, then she shouldn't be able to use- Gah, she can have all the non-morai equipment she wants at this point.))
Thankfully, being a snipe, I am really small. but as momma wolver says, that's a double edge in case I'm in trouble and someone needs to find me.
(Should I start saving for a Stranger Hat, or a Pipe first?)
((I was gonna wait for Vinnydime and Archemiday to respond before posting, but oh well...))
Trivoc
The entire group (composed of both Isorans, Valkyre rushed out of the elevator and into The Arcade [It's been a while since I've been here...] Trivoc thought. The place however, looked very different from before.
The rotting corpses of both Isorans and Morai littered the facility. Weapons, strewn across the slaughtering ground. Protos, Knights, Warriors, and enforcers alike, laid in piles. Some on the floor, others slumped against the walls, computer terminals, and mineral deposits.
The sight shocked Trivoc. [So many people... dead... Argh! Diablo!] He thought angrily. He had drawn the Elemental Dagger and was gripping it tightly. He saw that it was glowing a bright red, and flames crawled along the blade like snakes. [Huh?... Is this the power of the dagger?] Trivoc thought. He took many deep breaths in an attempt to calm himself down. But the carnage that lay before them was making it hard to concentrate.
He turned to Ikaros, who seemed as equally shocked about the whole thing as he was. Trivoc, still gripping the Dagger, moved closer to her, and held her hand. He breathed heavily, until he finally calmed down, and the flames on the blade went away. He turned to her and (seeing as she looked as if she was about to break down as well) gave her a hug. "Try not to look." He said to Ikaros.
The two of them began walking, with the Uranus Queen in his arms. He tried his best to shield her from the horrors, but with them nearly tripping over a corpse ever few seconds, it wasn't easy.
Alpha Squad was having a hard time seeing the devastation as well. Grantz and Parma looked sad about the whole thing. Euclid walked silently, and with the look of fierce determination in his eyes. Rulen, while he seemed unaffected, they were sure that he was, since the Bomber wasn't cracking a single joke.
---
Soon enough, the small army reached the wreckage of The Skylark. Once the glory of the Isoran fleet, the massive ship now laid in shambles before them.On the ground near it was Feron. Still alive, but in bad shape. He had scratch marks all over his body, and the ground appeared to have dried, Isoran blood, on it. "*cough* *cough* Who's there? Please! You need to help us... There's some sort of Fallen Valkyrie that's killing everything, along with some dark Isoranoid monster-" Feron started, but was cut off by Trivoc who, who left Ikaros for a few moments, to kneel next to the Lieutenant.
"Don't worry, sir. We are completely aware of the situation. Can you tell us their location, sir?" He asked. "*cough* The last I saw, they entered The Skylark and... slaughtered the entire crew. Oh Vog... I can still hear their screams..." Feron said.
Trivoc stood up and saluted. "We'll take care of it, sir. You on the other hand, need to find some medical attention." The Knight said. "*cough* There might still be some Isorans alive. I'll look for them and *cough* rally them to this position." Feron said as he forced himself on his feet. He seemed shaky, so Trivoc had to support him, along with Ikaros who came along to help. The Lieutenant however, didn't seem to recognize Ikaros Alpha. "Don't bring any Knght here, sir. The more people the Fallen Valkyrie kills, the stronger he becomes. We'll handle the situation ourselves." Trivoc told Feron.
The Lieutenant wasn't too keen on leaving his allies behind, but he knew that they had a better chance of winning than if he brought the entire ranks of the Knights. "Good luck then... I'll attempt to find a way to contact Isora. Have them send some more ships to Cradle and get us off this Vog-forsaken planet." Feron said with a salute, as he walked away.
The group of heroes now turned to The Skylark. Trivoc once again grabbed Ikaros' hand, and looked reassuringly at her, before turning to the others. "Let's go." He said to the group. They all began entering The Skylark.
---
As it turned out, the villains were not "inside" The Skylark, but instead near it. They took cover and watched as Diablo spoke with [Thanatos... I remember when he was with Theo back at The Warehouse...]. there was also a female Morai there that none of them could recognize.
While the three of them were conversing, a person in a brown Cavalier hat, and Valkyrie Mail, attacked them. She looked as if she was trying to [Arrest Thanatos?! Is she out of her mind?] Trivoc knew that a battle would explode within seconds. He drew his blade, and saw that it was now glowing bright blue, along with electric bolts running along the blade. [It changes according to my emotions?... Interesting] Trivoc thought. He knew that he was going to need supreme self-control in order to use the Elemental Dagger to maximum efficiency.
He turned to Ikaros who seemed ready for combat as well. He approached her and gave her a kiss on the cheek; it might be the last one he would ever give, depending on the outcome of the coming battle.
((@Kaijuhunter: When exactly does Ikaros snap, and for what reason?))
Chappers
"Friend?" Cleo said softly to herself. "Yes, friend." Chappers repeated. The Morai seemed to consider this for a long moment, before hugging Chappers again. "Thank you... Promise me... That you won't abandon me at all...." Cleo said as she gripped the Knight tightly. It was hard to breathe, but Chappers was able to speak. "Yes *urk!* I promise." He said.
"Cleo!" A voice shouted. The Morai released Chappers from her grip (which the Knight was thankful for) as the two turned to the newcomer. IT was Theo. "Step aside soldier..." He said as he drew his Acheron.
"Theo... What are you-" Cleo started, but stopped when Theo prepared to swing his blade. "Forgive me... But this is for my brothers' sake..."theo said as he brought the blade down. Cleo however, managed to block the incoming attack with her axe. "I will... Help you Theo... I will save you from evil!" Cleo shouted.
Chappers had drawn his Calibur (he would've used the Pepperbox, but he was afraid that he would hit Cleo). "Theo what are you doing? Stop it!" Chappers said as he prepared to intervene.
Arkus had watched the whole thing unfold from a distance, and was already moving to their location.
(Archemiday, now might be a good time to post.)
Dagoon slowly readied her Royal Jelly Piercer as she slowly started to climb the shop cart, her muscles tensed. She could see some other knights in the distance, who happened to be on the ship. (It never went into orbit, but it has a massive hole in it that could easily be used to hide.)
[Trivoc? Hmm. . . this will be interesting.] Dagoon slightly got up and nodded in Trivoc and Ikaros's direction.
(Seatus)
I teleport as fast as I can as I feel the Elemental Dagger's hunger for evil blood. "Stop!" I scream, "We need to get Gwen first! I have a plan! Don't face him yet, please!" I beg, but having no power over the weapon. I need to get this Wand to Clotho. I hate to admit it, but she's the only one who could weild this powerful weapon. I teleport without waiting for an answer from Trivoc.
I appear to Clotho, her sitting with Chappers. "The battle is soon to begin. Take this, and get to Trivoc immediately. Now is not the time to talk. I must find Gwen." I look at Chappers with a devious grin. You have a kind heart for Clothos. You will fuel her powers with this kindness so deeply rooted in you. Once you unlock it's full power, you can heal people with only words. I smile. Take good care of this gift from the Gods.
I turn to Theo. "Old friend, why do you dare try to hurt them?" I hold up my hand, and his weapon is suddenly magnetized to the ground. "You may wonder where this power comes from. I'd be happy to explain."
((with Gwen's death, her power goes somewhere. Though Thanatos has copied her power and absorbed it, Gwen still had power held in the Core since that's where her heart now lies as the Core-being abandoned it's world. When her heart (in the Vorpal Sword) died, the Core chose it's second gift to itself to obtain the power. Seatus. Now, don't get angry, because Seatus is about to do something that will end Diablo without harming the Final. He is going to die. As he dies, the power within him, plus Gwen's, will go into the swords, though I don't know if it will be enough. At least two other powerful beings will have to give their powers to the swords to finalize the victory...))
(Uhh. . . Seatus, If you look back, Thanatos didn't get the chance to do that. Speaking of which, where is Gwen? The not past gwen.(Oh crap, did I reveal- no, I'll stop talking in case I accidentally reveal more.)
Edit: I'll be in haven 7,Central US time- 6:00.
I watched as a battle was about to start, so I withdrew my lute, which I noticed was made from a rare material named starmetal ((Darn you liminori!)). I also was ready to draw my silversix
((Sorry for not posting. Stuffs to do.))
((You get the picture Liminori. I'm gonna die, and so is some other unlucky powerful beings))
((Gwen died alone and in pure misery. Theo wasn't even present when it happened; Thanatos just absorbed her and moved on. I don't think he even realized that he'd finished it.))
((What? Don't look at me like that. I needed to explain away Infernus's reluctance to fulfill the prophecy.))
((Well then, I suppose this is my last stand....maybe XD Also, I am so glad none of the readers from my fanfic are here, because there is gon' be a SPOOOOOILERRRRR))
(Been a while since I used Thrynn.)
"Geez, I wonder where Dagoon and Co. are. . ." Thrynn decided to walk over to the elevator and go up a few levels. The sight he saw was not good. He could see Gwen on the ground, dead. "I'm sorry we could not save you in time, dear friend." Thrynn walked over and started Digging a bit of the ground, so he could make a grave. He slowly placed Gwen in the Grave, and buried her. He picked up the Daring Rigadoon and set it where the grave should have been, and left an echo stone, with words of honor. (Robots can't cry, nor do they have feelings, but Thrynn's mindset allows him to bury people while being able to manage to let people keep their honor.)
This is for you Gwen. ((This music now plays anytime someone passes by Gwen's grave.))
(Seatus)
I put a Seal on Theo's feet, stopping him for now. I walk towards the Core, and wave it open. I step onto the air towards the Vorpal Sword. I rip it from the ground and smile sadly. "I had to tell some lies, I suppose." I walk back.
"I will release you soon Theo. No blood must spill but my own." I continue walking as I grab the shoulders of Cleo and Chappers and vanish with them through a shadow, leaving specks of light behind me. We appear at the Skylark where the battle is. "I hate to take you from your places, but there is no time. Clotho, Trivoc, and Vin are the three heroes I have chosen. Chapper's will heal you. I know this is sudden, Chappers, but you are going to have to be strong. It's just fine if you aren't there isnlt a lot of hope right now anyway." I walk over to Trivoc and Ikaros, "You both are so lucky to have each other, don't forget that. My...my Lily...No, nevermind. Just remember to The Fourth Hero shall be Arkus. He has been the most humble, caring, and kind being. He has recovered from his insanity, just as I had to when-no, I canlt think about her right now." I turn to Arkus and walk up to him.
"Good luck, Arkus. You will weild the Fourth Weapon that will appear when I die." I raise the Vorpal Sword, and it's diamond-riddled blade shimmers with it's blue-green glow. I whisper, "Lily, it seems me and Gwen are the loneliest of them all." tears glimmer in my eyes as I shout as loud as I can. "Valentine is to weild the Vorpal Sword!" I drop the Sword, and it flies through me as I turn to white specks of Whitespace Swarm, leaving the Sword in the ground, still shimmering. A glistening pearl Trojan Sword lays in the ground, ready for Arkus.
*Third-Person Mode*
As Seatus passed, he knew the new identity of the hero to save them. Close on the brink of death, he had a last vision the Core gave him of this person. The Whitespace left behind from his person absorbed into the weapons. The light that went into Vin's weapon pulled him to where Seatus had been, and he instantly knew what happened when his weapon got a sudden boost of extreme power. The Core still holds a secret about the Origins of the Children of the Core. This will be the twist ending, worthy of the movie director Shamalan that once inhabited the mysterious 'Earth' when it was destroyed....
A Seal appears on the ground under the weapon, and as it does the Seal on Theo's feet is released. An elevator nearby Theo turns on, and can take him to the surface as fast as it can. ((Seatus can do a couple things with the last specks of his body before he dies))
EDIT: I kind of think this song is best if Gwen had a Last Stand against Diablo :P
Does Axis get one, or will he remain forever underpowered :P?
Will Archemiday have to go with Theo? Because. . . Otherwise he'd be alone and without a lead to manage his story. Sigh. . .
Dagoon could feel her End's mark burning. She took off her left glove and looked at it deeply. "So. . . I die within this week, or maybe another shall. Well, looks like I've got nothing to lose now." Dagoon slowly walked out of her hiding spot. "Diablo." Dagoon walked towards him.
"Go ahead, Stab me. I've got nothing to lose." She said with a smile, arms wide open.
(Anubis)
I jump out of the fountain. Master Seatus' instructions were simple: Get the rest of the weapons. Easy. He had told me how, and now, well, I got some wicked skills now. I disappear.
I reappear in fronT of the ex-Swarm vessel, Axis. "You are foretold." I smile. "You will get a weapon as well. Seatus told me, exactly, for you to find the Swarm. Ask it for it's Scythe of Chaos. You will be given it. But when he aska a deal for it, say, 'I swear to the Gods I will return it within three days.' and proceed to do so. Good luck." I flap my wings again and vanish, reappearing at the Skylark.
"Well then! It seems My time is up!" I hold up my hand and beg to the Gods. "Let thee renew my body, and restore my soul, then let thou have my prayers for everlasting eternity." I whisper, and I destroy myself, my body falling into black leaves. We, the three of us, are the loneliest......
*Third-Person Mode*
Anubis' essence merges itself into the weapons, giving them power. One last being is needed for sacrifice. Lol, and you donlt KNOW what kind of twist endings I got up my sleeve. It's what happened at the end of my fanfic XD
EDIT: I also think, well, you have your Carnival of Rust, while Seatus has a Carnival of Souls. Yup. Just been having this need to say it...
Dagoon slowly smiled as Diablo stabbed her in the gut. "Do you realize how foolish that was? Dad, I'm sorry I could not continue the legacy."
Dagoon said as she slowly turned to dust, the sword, now forever unusable by Diablo.
Edit: Oops, been 2 hours since i should have been in haven. I am there. . . NOW.
Vog-Damn Liminori, instead of writing a small post next time then, how about you say that first DX *rages in silence, as always*
Logically, I don't need to edit much of my posts because the material's already there.
Why do I feel as if I have yet to play my full hand. . .
Throughout Dagoon's whole life, she never knew to love. Ever. Nor was she ever loved. Truly, She is one hell of a lonely soul.
I am not editing anymore. Your character is logically dead. Edit your own post .-.
Faction: Morai+Isoran+Unknown
Name: Equinox
Gender: Male
Race: Stranger
Age Range: Teen
Appearance: Sniped Stranger Hat, Shadow Scarf, Black Stranger Cloak
Personal Color: Indigo
Bio: A double-agent for the opposite factions, Equinox got himself to look like a Morai when he is visiting them, an Isoran when he is visiting them, and wears his own clothes when visiting neither. He weilds two mysterious Snipes. One black, and the other white. They seem to be very attached to Equinox. He loves them as well. Possessing only the Owlite power of a fledgling, Equinox can only summon status traps that people have to walk on to activate. He cannot hold a sword, and his Snipes guard him very well. Once when he was only a toddler, he tripped, and his Snipes were so protective that they flew to the nearest kid and started biting him. The kid had to be treated for burn scars, and claimed the Snipes' eyes glowed red. The doctor ignored him, and the kid got better. Equinox is despised by the Strangers for being the son of something strong and evil, but no one will tell him. Something isn't right about this kid...
Do whatever! DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH THAT CACTUS!
((
@Seatus: app accepted.
@Liminori: Dagoon may never have experienced *romantic* love, but she was always loved by Gwen. Gwen loved everybody.

(Equinox)
I walk down the steps of Haven, and into the field. The Skylark doesn't seem right exactly. Well, it's all broken, for one thing, but I can't shake the feeling of darkness there. I wave goodbye to the Spiral Wardens, though they don't seem to care enough to wave back if I am not my other identity. I turn back and accept my loneliness. I stroll through the tall grass as my Snipes sing me a little song. The Wolvers jump out at me, but I put up a Freeze Sigil in mid-air as not to harm the creature. The Snipes continue their song as we keep walking.
We get to the Skylark to find people aboard facing a monstrous dark being. I look at his soul and see it is black as an eclipse. I turn off my focus and walk behind the others, looking at the being. These are interesting weapons the others have too. I focus on their souls, and stumble back a bit. Their souls are bigger than any I've ever seen. These must be Hero beings. I read they went exstinct but-I guess Heroes can be reborn in anyone. I walk around them, but they don't seem to notice me. I look at their weapons, my focus still on, and I'm shocked the weapons have souls of their own. "Living weapons?" I whisper.
My Snipes have stopped their song by now. They are eying the black monster suspiciously. I walk up to a partially melted, leaning support. I climb up onto it and watch the others. While everyone's distracted, I lay Stun Sigils all around the monster. I focus on the monster, and see another soul inside of it, glowing gold. "Oh my," I whisper, "the Final."
I look at everyones' faces. They look so wonderful. I pull a mirror from my pocket and look at my face. I giggle a bit when I compare mine to theirs. "Looks only matter on the inside." I say to myself. I snap my fingers. "Lumini. Umbra. It's time for a game to begin." I snap my fingers, and the birds fly off my shoulders and over the monster, their eyes now crimson as they transform into two big hawk-like creatures. I giggle again.
"Let the games, BEGIN!"
(Not sure if I can post anymore. . . Sigh. . . If you get REALLY attached to a character, you don't feel right when they die. So. . . Will somebody please take over for Thrynn? (I guess he'll be mainly crafting epic items or something.)
Well, I guess I'll just post random stuff that's cool.
New costume. . . yay. . . (Sniff*)
Azure Guardian Armor, Cool Pipe, Holly Striped Scarf (Or any scarf), Cool Mecha wings,
Cool Headband, Jelly Helm (Any), Frosty sideblade/parryblade.
Oh, and also. . . Dagoon's Equipment's up for grabs.
Zee Heater Shield, Heavy Stranger hat with Volcanic Pipe, Kat Hiss Mask, Royal Jelly Piercer, Shield Bracelet, Heavenly Iron Armor.
@Thinslayer: Maybe Gwen did "Love" Dagoon, but it's not like she knew anyone ever loved her.
((@Liminori: aw, were you attached to Gwen? :D))
((I was recently coming up with an idea for a roleplay that takes place in a dystopic future. Knights and Morai all live together in harmony, but they are becoming prejudiced against the newcomers, the "Channelers." Channelers are people with the ability to channel their internal energies at will. They can be used for organically powering cybernetics, boosting physical abilities, creating contained energy fields (i.e. energy balls, like for combat), and such like. "Keepers" are people who "keep" their energies, because they are unable or unwilling to channel them. Keepers are far and away the most dominant type, and some see the Channelers as a threat. The government has whipped up a frenzy about them, claiming they will destroy the environment if allowed to multiply because using twice as many resources as the average person. Unfortunately, the government is partly right - channelers do consume about twice as many resources as usual, due to their increased energy usage. The roleplay depicts the struggles of people on either side of the conflict.
Opinions?))
Anybody who ever posted, who made a character. Also. . . When's Skye going to post?
Edit: What, Do we only have 2 more posts available anymore? Seerusly, I'm thinking it should end at post 1000.
Hmm. . . Opinions. . . Well, I- would you like me to start the forum? It's a great Idea, truly.
@Seetus* (yes, I said Seetus on purpose.) Well, Diablo can't use his weapon, and he's chaind up basically, I'm sure he can easily win, but. . . 1000's just a great number TO end. So. . . WHATEVER! Post if you're gonna post.
Uhh. . . post 1050! GAME OVER, WE'RE DONE!
Do chu think we would end at post 1000?! NEVR! WHY is everyone too chicken to face Diablo, they have the weapons of ((little less powerful than Diablo))Gods! I even gave up my body! That's damn right! I am still alive! But...I am in pieces.... -.- WHY VOG WHY?!
You never did like me Liminori. I understand why though XD! I still thinksomeone should attack him. Equinox grows bored. BTW, he and Seatus will show up in the roleplay of yours. Though I think there should be a third party. I would call them Peacekeepers, who live in the relocated Sanctuary in the sky. ((relocated for observing the ground below)) And, say, they built a Temple around the Structure, and added to the Sanctuary's size with dirt to maintain a village. Say they keep the balance between what goes on down below. Equinox would definitely be one of this kind of party. A cross between Channelers and Keepers. Storing energy, and using it at necessary moments of peacekeeping.
What happened why are the posts differently numerical O_O ITS A SIGN OF THE END OF THE WORLD OH VOG OH VOG!!! <(O_O)>
Ikaros
I giggled as Axis fell butt-first to the floor of the Sanctuary, remembering that time a few weeks ago when i myself fell butt first in front of Triv, Gwen, and everyone else. The silly feelings were gone when he gasped, "We need to get back to haven NOW!" I frowned at him in askance, and he panted, "Diablo. Sylark. Took all its power." My eyes widened in horror, as did Trivoc's. Arkus was too far away to hear. I counted on my fingers. "But... To power the Skylark, the engines have to pump at least five hundred tons of Cystal Energy every day."
Trivoc continued, "And since the Skylark always has AT LEAST a year's supply of fuel..." He let the fact sink in. Turning to me, Trivoc said, "This is bad. Really, really bad. We have to warn the others." Axis and Trivoc sprinted in the direction of everybody else. I sighed. So much for peace, quiet, and alone time with my boyfriend.
I spread my wings and flew after them.
