Number-thingies changed back. WE'RE SAFE EVERYONE, FALSE ALARM! <(^-^)>
Return to Cradle (Roleplay. Apps accepted!)
Now what. . . I feel like the entire forum's just kinda. . . collapsed, like the only person who will actually post anymore is Seatus. In fact. . . The forum feels like it's just. . . died. (Goodbye. . .)
The others are just asleep. Not my fault I'm enthusiastic. <(^-^)>
I am Vog's gift and punishment to the world =3
Location? Hmm. . . Isora, Cradle, and. . wherever The unoriginal Morai come from.
Name? Energetic waves of time? Dawn of a new war?
Ehh. . . And so on. I've decided not to make the forum because It usually ends up in chaos when people make forums. DOOOOMMMMM!
Hmm. . . Kaiju said something about writing her post while in game. So I'd imagine it's a pretty big post.
((Gwen always had feelings for Thanatos, too. The thing is, Theo rebuffed him for her, so she didn't get much chance to act on it. And Valentine, it turns out, has an inkling of attraction to Thanatos. She kinda likes bad boys, herself being a shadow valk- uh, I've said too much. xD))
((@Liminori: I'm waiting for Kaijuhunter and Infernus to post their story bits before replying. That is all.))
Name for characters: Alceateur, Tim (Holy grail much?), Cintalledra, Vasarvius (OOTS), Liminori.
Perfect Song! IT FITS FOR ANUBIS AND EQUINOX O_O http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b76VWp-voIk
((God/Vog, it's so hard to get you people moving along! Thin/Valentine won't pick up the Vogging Vorpal Sword and attack Diablo, Dagoon is dying, and somewhere along the line Kirito got kidnapped from the forums and put into a violent anime childrens show. Oh wait, whats new O_O))
A strange weapon resembling a Divine Avenger materialized in front of Valentine. What luck! A powerful, majestic sword was just the ticket she needed to bring down that monster of a Valkyrie, Diablo. She picked it up, twirled it to get a feel for its balance and abilities, and nodded with approval. "Shall I test out this sword, Diablo? Or would you like to come peaceably and painlessly? I have a hunch it was teleported here for a good reason."
That'll do for now. My mother is probably coming to abduct the Wii U... O_O....
((
I have just figured out the perfect way to do roleplaying. Please hear me out, everyone.
There will be two threads, the story thread and the discussion thread. The story thread will be edited by the moderator *only.* No one else posts in that thread for any reason (other than readers to offer compliments). In the discussion thread, we all talk about how the story is to proceed. We can suggest story bits, critique proposed story bits, or vote on story bits. Whatever comes out on top will be edited by the moderator into the story thread. Any and all comments on the story must occur in this thread. Credits for the involved players will be offered somewhere in the story thread.
The benefits of this system are:
*Readability for our audiences
*Cleanliness
*High-quality writing
Opinions, anyone?

(Equinox)
I giggle as she picks up the Vorpal Sword. "Oh, this'll be wonderful. Return Lumini and Umbra." My Snipes rest on my shoulders. I summon a weaker Sleep Sigil and jump on it for a higher jump. I run and summon these Sigils as fast as I can. "We're going to see Valentine!" I stop in my tracks, creating a stronger Sigil to stand on before it breaks into pieces in two minutes. "Wait, we don't know where she is. Let's go back." I run Sigil by Sigil until I am above the Skylark. There I jump down, creating a couple more Sigils to jump down onto before I reach the ground of the Skylark. I figure it's time I addressed myself. "Hey, guys." I smile. "I'm Equinox, and I want to help." I tilt my head and smile, expressing my joy. I look to my Snipes. "Guys, can you get me some decent armor?" The Snipes are suddenly flying off, and back again with a Grey Owlite Cowl and Ancient Plate Mail. I snap my fingers as it appears on.
I stretch my arms from side to side as I feel my serious side set it. "He isn't going to stand a whole lot of chance. Maybe a Morai and Isorans and Cradlians working together can create a better future. Heck, it may even open a new door in our minds." My Snipes settle onto my shoulders. I wave in front of me and seven Sigils float about me. "Well, ready your weapons," I utter. "Hurry up, Valentine." I grin to myself.
((Okay so by Equinox's attitude in this Chapter, I'm thinking he's 18? Anyone think otherwise...?))
((Equinox seems like a gay 15-year-old, IMO. Not that I would know, as I've never met any gay people (that I know of).))
((Sorry for not posting in a while. I've been waiting on Vinnydime and Kaijuhunter to post, so I don't get too far ahead of them. Ah well, might as well post now. If our posts overlap each other's events, then we can always use the magical power of "editing".
@Thinslayer's thread idea: That would definitely be a help in organizing things, but it would take up a lot more time, due to the posts for IC and OOC being written on separate threads. However, I think it's a good system, albeit a little late to be suggested, due to this story almost coming to a close.))
Chappers
Before Theo could do any damage, Seatus had suddenly appeared in front of them and ordered them to stop. The Snarbolax seals Theo to the ground as he himself goes closer to The Core.
After Seatus had finished with, whatever business he had, he suddenly grabbed Chappers, Cleo, and Arkus (who had just arrived on the scene) and teleported them to the wreckage of The Skylark. throughout the whole thing, Chappers only had one thought. [What in the name of all that is good... is going on?!]
Trivoc
Just as the Knight was preparing to attack Diablo, Seatus suddenly materialized in front of him and begged him not to use the weapon. He mentioned something bout needing Gwen. Trivoc didn't like the fact that he couldn't attack Diablo just yet, but he decided that The Snarbolax was the wisest one out of everyone there. So, he lowered his blade, although it did suddenly burst into flames due to the brief flare of anger.
The group waited inside the ruined Skylark for a few minutes, before Seatus appeared again. This time, he brought along Chappers, Arkus, and some female Morai that none of them recognized.
"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 isn't a lot of hope right now anyway." The Snarbolax said. "I-I'll try my best. I don't know how I'm supposed to heal them though, I'm not a medic..." Chappers replied.
Seatus then headed to Trivoc and Ikaros' position. "You both are so lucky to have each other, don't forget that. My...my Lily...No, nevermind. Just remember... 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 can't think about her right now." Seatus told them, switching between speaking with them, and speaking with himself. Trivoc wondered who this Lily person Seatus was going on about, but he thought it best not to ask.
He did, however, take the moment to look into Ikaros' eyes. "I promise we'll get out of this alive." He said.
The Snarbolax then moved to Arkus. "Good luck, Arkus. You will weild the Fourth Weapon that will appear when I die." He said as he drew a strange sword ((The Vorpal Sword)). "Valentine is to wield the Vorpal Sword!" Seatus shouted, before throwing the weapon through the air, and disintegrated into white specks. At that moment, a gigantic Trojan Sword materializes before Arkus. It seemed to be sturdier, lighter, and sharper than the standard-issue Trojan blades.
Anubis also materialized in front of Axis and told him something about a Scythe, but Trivoc couldn't make out what he said exactly.
"Err... does this mean we can start fighting now?" Rulen asked. The group turned back to Diablo, who had just stabbed Dagoon through her stomach. [What... when did she get up here?!] Trivoc thought, knowing for a fact that they had left Dagoon in The Sanctuary. Another Isoran was there as well, wearing a brown Cavalier hat, and brandishing a weapon that looked similar to the sword that Seatus had thrown.
Before Euclid could respond to Rulen's question, a new voice was heard behind them. . "Hey, guys. I'm Equinox, and I want to help." It said. everyone turned around a saw an Isoranoid being, wearing Stranger clothing. They were so surprised at the arrival of the newcomer that none of them could say a word as two Snipes appeared and dressed the Isoranoid Stranger in a Grey Owlite Cowl, and Ancient Plate Mail. "Uhh, sure I suppose." Chappers
They heard the clashing of swords and turned back around to see the Isoran in the Cavalier hat fighting Diablo.
Trivoc turned to Rulen. "Yes, we attack now!" He ordered as their group rushed out of The Skylark. Trivoc drew the Elemental Dagger and watched as it teemed with electricity. He decided to try something... unusual.
He pointed the weapon at Diablo, focused his energy, and saw the Dagger shoot out bolts of electricity at the Fallen Valkyrie. Trivoc stared at the blade in awe for a few moments. [Oh my Vog... I can't believe that actually worked...].
While the electrical attack didn't do much to Diablo, it had gotten his attention, and now the fight had truly begun...
((Cue the final boss music Archemiday! And everyone else get ready for a lot of fight-scene, forum post editing XD))
(( I think not, Seatus. Diablo is my character, and I have my own plans for his death. Besides, what is this Final youre talking about? Diablo absorbed no such thing; he took the power of the Skylark, a countless amount of Monsters, about ten thousand Isorans, and more. He never used Dark-Kata (his energy stealing technique) on this creature. I guess I would have been fine with that had you notified me before making those posts, but seriously. Again, Diablo's my archvillain; I had my plans for him to engage everyone (yes, literally everyone) in the end and narrowly be defeated.
Please don't control my character; it makes me feel sad. D:
Oh, oh. Just to add some more depth to Diablo, I made it so that he had an internal struggle with himself. In the beginning, he was pure, but hatred and greed corrupted him. At first, he only wanted to make a point, only wanted to prove his strength and worthiness, but the hate inside of his heart consumed him. . In the end, he is really someone you just *might* take pity on, after what he did. I also added a song to show how he feels when he murders his victims. I think it describes him well. As for Kirito, i guess he's starting to heal himself from all the evil he's done... So here's his song anywho, i also included what i thought would be a great song for the Final Battle now. Without further ado... I shall begin!))
----------
Diablo
I growled as i felt the Isoran meat shoot a bolt of electricity at me. I deflected the energy with ease and tried to absorb it; but I couldnt. This was divine energy. I roared in rage and turned to Thanatos and Atropos. I hissed out, "Good. The deal is settled." I reached out and grabbed both of them, draining their power. I felt the strength surge through my body and breathed it in like it was a cool summer breeze. Suddenly, I drew my hands away from the two Arbiters of Death, and they crumpled. I had all but taken their power, leaving them with only enough to survive. After all, I wouldn't want to take all of their power; then I'd be violating the laws of nature itself. ((Dont worry, they'll get it back once Diablo's gone))
Grinning, I laughed a sadistic cackle and blew a flying kiss to Thanatos and Atropos as they lay on the floor, struggling to get to their feet. "Thank you kindly for your donations." Slowly, i stabilized the power raging inside of my body and concentrated it. I felt my arms grow larger and more muscular, my wings leathery and strong as steel, my fingers elongate into claws that were like sickles, my teeth grow sharper and curved, my now forked tongue flickering excitedly inside of my monstrous jaws. I breathed a puff of smoke, ready to destroy everything in my path.
My enemies were now looking into the jaws of the most powerful being that ever existed; Diablo, the Dragon of Death
---------
((Cue the battle music, shiz is going to start going down.))
When Diablo took Thanatos's power, all the souls he consumed were also transferred, making Diablo responsible for them now. Valentine realized that, and knelt beside Thanatos. "Look man, I'm sorry about all this. Sit tight, okay? Let me handle this. It's my job." She untied him and turned to face Diablo. She looked at her sword, then back at the dragon, wondering if the sword would be effective. She poked it with the tip just to be sure, and she drew blue blood (high-energy blood). The dragon roared and swiped at her, but she ducked under it. "Whoa, touchy!"
Axis grinned. Diablo had no idea that most of their squad had been equipped with new weapons. He contacted the swarm, "Do we strike now master? Or should we wait?" Just as he said that, a horrible sound rang out when he looked back, Diablo had transformed into a...dragon? "Master I think it's time." "Give me the weapon, we can end this monstrosity." He waited for his master to respond, whatever happened today one thing was for sure, this would change the Morai, Knights, and cradle forever.
Mor'Loki replied to Axis, "Yes, we must strike. We will provide distraction for those able to slay the monster. Attack!" He charged in and blew a searing stream of black fire at Diablo, simultaneously firing off rows of spikes from his deadly tail.
I want to point out that Diablo no longer has an evil sword of doom thanks to Dagoon, and that she is dead,
And, it seems that Archemiday has either left, or is just busy, but as I recall, he's at the core Alone.
Dagoon's stuff is available as I said, In case you want an overpowered shield.
or a MASK
or HIA
or Other mask
or Royal Jelly Peircer
or Zee Heater Shield (same thing, just powered with a zee core, considering how rare they are now.)
or. . . . . TYPHOON!
(Just because Diablo can't use it, doesn't mean everybody else can't! (Purified with Dagoon's soul, it's now a royal weapon for anybody.))
(so. . . Yeah. Diablo has no weapon now Kaiju. So. . . Somebody pick up all this crap. And maybe dual wield Royal Piercers.)
Edit: That's a lot of edits. . . Anyway, I won't be playing as Thrynn anytime soon.
(Considering that this post will be stared at for a while, let me show you the Final Boss music Forze del male 4:28 )
With the last of Dagoon's soul, (Just her soul, and her soul alone) She (it?) possessed her prior armor and slowly created an instrument to play.
(Piano, with a drum) "Ar*":che-]'mi['day, Co\];me pla;''[y a final s'\o'\,]ng with me"
Who are we waiting on? Seetus? Archemiday? Kaijuhunter?
(( @Lim: -.- ugh, fine. Diablo has no sword. Guess that means Ikaros can use it. Just so you know though, Diablo will eventually HAVE to 1v1 Ikaros, and although he wont have Typhon, his dark energy will simply create an even stronger black sword. Dont forget, he absorbed Thanatos and Atropos' powers, so now he wields the power of death itself as well. ))
Ikaros
I gazed into Trivoc's eyes for a few short moments. He whispered to me, "Don't worry, I promise we'll get out of this alive." I nodded quietly and readied my weapons. I wasn't about to let everyone fight this monster without my help. I kissed Trivoc lightly on the lips and murmured, "Just remember what I'll do to you if you die..." Trivoc laughed halfheartedly.
After speaking to us, Seatus moved to Arkus. "Good luck, Arkus. You will wield the Fourth Weapon that will appear when I die." He said as a deadly-sharp blade materialized in his hand. "Valentine is to wield the Vorpal Sword!" Seatus shouted, before throwing the sword through the air, and disintegrated into white specks. At that moment, a gigantic Trojan Sword materialized before Arkus. It seemed deadlier and sharper than any Trojan Sword I'd ever seen before.
Anubis also materialized in front of Axis and told him something about a Scythe, but Trivoc couldn't make out what he said exactly.
"Err... does this mean we can start fighting now?" Rulen asked. I chuckled. The group turned back to Diablo, who had just stabbed someone through her stomach. Another Isoran [Wow, we have a lot of allies now] was there as well, wearing a brown Cavalier hat, and twirling a blade that looked just like the sword that Seatus had tossed.
Before Euclid could respond to Rulen's question, my sharp ears picked up a new voice. "Hey, guys. I'm Equinox, and I want to help." It said. Everyone turned around a saw an Isoranoid being, wearing Stranger clothing. Everyone was so surprised at the arrival of yet another newcomer that none of them could say a word as two Snipes appeared and dressed the Isoranoid Stranger in a Grey Owlite Cowl, and Ancient Plate Mail. "Uhh, sure I suppose." Chappers said.
Everyone heard the clashing of swords and turned back around to see the Isoran in the Cavalier hat fighting Diablo.
Trivoc turned to Rulen, a fierce look of determination in his eyes. "Yes, we attack now!" [Oh gods, he looks handsome liked that] He ordered as our group rushed out of The Skylark. Trivoc drew his sword and I watched in awe as it crackled with electricity. He seemed to contemplate something in his mind, then smiled. Trivoc pointed his sword at Diablo, but before I could ask what he was doing, a thousand tendrils of electricity shot out of the blade, arcing towards the Dark Valkyrie. It did nothing, but it was impressive. But that was when... IT happened.
I gulped as Diablo roared in rage and started to... [Oh Vog, did he just absorb the energies of the Death Gods?] I watched, paralyzed in awestruck terror as the Valkyrie's body changed into that of a gargantuan black dragon. I clenched my weapons tighter and kissed Trivoc once more. I drew my new bow, Aepollon, and took meticulous aim.This fight would decide the fate of the universe, and i knew it.
The final battle had begun.
Diablo
I roared in anger as the puny Morai poked me with her sword. I growled and tentatively clawed at her, but she swiftly ducked and said, "Whoa there, touchy!" I snarled. Idiotic twit. Faster than lightning, my left wing released a flurry of spikes towards the Morai, and she started a majestic dance, dodging every spike with ease. I smiled. Fool. Quicker than lightning, my tail lashed out. The Morai barely dodged my tail, but one of the barbs on it caught her across the chest and she squealed. I felt a prick on my back and turned to see the Swarm Dragon I had battled before. I snarled. Deflecting his blast of fire, i countered with my own burst of black power. The Dragon barely blocked the blast, but that was enough. I closed the distance between us and smashed him in the chest. My barbed tail swiped him across the face, scoring a long scar into him. I spotted the other Isorans, Valkyries, and Morai readying for battle and growled in displeasure. I allowed Thanatos and Atropos' energies to rush into my body further and laughed as the power surged through my being. My eyes burned in sadistic rage, and i blew pute black Curse fire from my mouth. I would kill them all. And then i would take their power.
I took a defensive stance and readied myself for the last battle.
Well, Diablo can't have been using his sword anyway, He's a FREAKING DRAGON!
So. . . I guess Dagoon died without anybody acknowledging it. It's just weird when it feels like the character you worked so had for dies, and none of the other characters notice/say anything about it.
((Archemiday is with the group, he mentioned that in his last (and rather short) IC post. although he does seem to be quite inactive, much like Vinnydime.
Also, is the Valkyrian council with us for this fight?)
Trivoc
Trivoc had meant to get Diablo's attention with his electrical attack, and he certainly got it. Although, it was a lot more than what he bargained for. Diablo turned to them with a look of pure rage in his eyes. Then, the Fallen Valkyrie turned towards Thanatos, and another female Morai, and subsequently sapped them of their energy.
Diablo's body convulsed, as his wings and limbs grew larger. His face was also changing into something that was nothing close to Valkyrian. Diabloe then let out a roar that echoed through the ruins of Haven and The Skylark. He had turned into a dragon
"Well... this complicates things..." Rulen thought out loud. Ikaros moved up next to Trivoc and gave him one more kiss. The Knight tried to savor it, fearing that it may be the last he would ever receive. They pulled away quickly, and turned back to the battle.
The first one to attack was the Isoran in the brown Cavalier hat, who poked Diablo with her sword. The dragon didn't take kindly to this and attempted to slash at her with his claws, which the Isoran easily dodged. Diablo then attempted to do a counter-attack, and launched several spikes at the group, directed at the Morai ((Cleo)) that Chappers brought along.
Everyone lunged out of the way, but the Morai dodged all the spikes by doing some sort of dance, with impressive grace.
The Swarm Dragon proceeded to fly behind Diablo and clash with him. The heroes took this time to regroup. Euclid spoke to his team. "Grantz! Get in front of everyone and don't let Diablo touch them. Rulen! Start planting your trigger bombs. Parma! you're with me." Euclid commanded as he pulled out a Valiance handgun and started firing. Rulen pulled out a Big Angry Bomb, along with a detonator, and looked at the bomb's face. "Time to shine, Mr. Grumpy!" He said as he started laying down bombs in a perimeter.
Grantz had gotten into position just in time to deflect a powerful Curse Cloud that came from Diablo's jaws.
The Valkyries flew into the air, creating a V-shaped formation which went for Diablo, ready to strike him as they fly by. Arkus raised his Trojan Sword into the air and slammed it down into the ground, sending a large rock flying into the air. As it fell, Arkus then slammed it against the flat of the blade, and sent it flying right at the head of Diablo.
Trivoc gripped the Dagger tightly and tried to make himself angry. [Diablo... Dies... Today!] He thought. It worked, and his sword began burning with a powerful fire. In his mind, he had another move ready. Trivoc felt that the Elemental Dagger was silently speaking in his mind; telling him what he should do with the weapon.
He performed quick, sconsecutive slashes with the Dagger, sending out several balls of flame towards Diablo. The fireballs made contact with his skin, and exploded, leaving burn marks on Diablo's scales.
((I guess I'll just edit this post for every new move.))
Valentine was clearly no Isoran. She unfurled and spread her shadowy Valkyrie wings and sped into the sky. Of course, she put away her hat - she wouldn't want that flying off. Her silver hair gleamed in the sunlight as she charged the sword and unleashed a trio of deadly virtual blades, each of which plunged into the dragon and tore at its essence. She flew directly at the dragon's face and sliced it with the razor edge of her wing before climbing skyward. The dragon ignored the pain and swiped at her, smacking her and sending her flying. She recovered, leveled her Antigua at the dragon's head, and fired a torrent of bullets, followed by a larger bullet that sent the dragon's head recoiling. She sped up to him and unleashed a flurry of strikes upon his corrupted head, followed by a gruesome thrust through his left eye. Diablo screamed and instinctively covered his eye, striking Valentine in the process and knocking her out of the sky.
((I hope someone catches her...hint hint? *cough*Theo*cough*))
((EDIT: @Liminori, Valentine is going to notice Dagoon's death in a moment.))
(@Thinslayer: Dagoon's temporarily composing her last song before she's gone forever. (Cough* Maybe one more song afterwards Cough*
Character App: Dagoon's Soul, More specifically known as Ecta
(Well. . . Not much to say.) She becomes more and more transparent , the more Dagoon's about to die forever. There is still time to save her, but a health capsule won't save her.
((You know that post when Diablo was absorbing the Glaoming Wildwoods, the Swarm-infested one? Yeah, the Final was wandering through there, and I was planning to find it and kill it, but I took the liberty of having it inside you ^-^ Also, though the Vorpal Sword is almighty, it can only summon the power level corresponding to the weilder's soul. I still let you control you Diablo's death. Plus, now that Diablo swallowed the souls of the Death Gods, the Hero Weapons are three powerful souls short.
@Thin He isn't gay. :/ He is childish because he had no one to look up to or teach him anything when he was a kid. The Strangers call him a witch. He learned the stuff he had from books, and no normal books either. He can walk straight through the Clockworks with no problem, his Snipes protect him. He got the books from an old Owlite Keep, and read them. Also if you haven't noticed the change, his demeanor instantly changed when he hungered for blood. There is something deeply wrong with him.....))
(Equinox)
I grin wickedly, and jump from Sigil to Sigil, landing on a melted beam. "Bleed!" I scream, "Bleed!" I jump off and spin, drill-like, as I fall towards Diablo. I set my feet on fire, wincing at my own pain but burning the seemingly bored Diablo. I jump off and land to see the burn gone. "What the he-" I get thrown to the side by one of his wings, probably not on purpose either. I slide across the floor until I come to a stop. "Bleed damn it!" I scream, and use a more intense fire on my fist as I run up to him, tears running down my face from the pain. I punch, and find myself punching a brick wall. I feel bones crack((his own bones)) as I pull back. I hold my hand in pain.
"I. Want. To. See. You. BLEED!" I scream, and shoot three Shock Sigils. I am obviously going to need something more potent to put a dent in him.
Ecta looked down upon the scene, looking at Equinox. [What the hell is he doing? Bloody useless-] Ecta ripped her soul in half, and let the other half continue playing, as she slowly flew down, and entered Equinox. {Let's try to attack him one more time, shall we?}
(Equinox)
I feel a new presence in myself. I feel...strong, I think the word is. "Snipes," I say, "bring me a Brandish, stat." They fly away, and I take the time to ask the new presence, So, what's your name? as I listen to the presence's reply, I see the Snipes return, carrying a Brandish from each side. I reach out and grab it, and let loose the energy I had in me, infusing the sword with a Fire Sigil.((Energy is not a problem for Strangers, they sell it all the time.)) I swing the new Combuster and run at Diablo again, swinging with new strength. I feel the reverberation from hitting him as the sword recoils uselessly. He's strong. What do you think I should do? I ask the presence within me.
(I mean really, It would be strange to share a mind with someone!) ((Look for .s, they will show you when the mind switches people))
So, what's your name?. For now? You can refer to me as Ecta. . He's strong. What do you think I should do? . Well, I could help you use your energy to help you slow down time, or I could Strengthen your weapon by possessing it, or possibly both,
although neither would be as effective that way.
((Very strange indeed))
(Equinox)
I don't think any of those options will work against him. Maybe we can observe the others, they can't tell, but their attacks are making the tiniest of cracks on his soul foundation. I think their weapons were made for purification. But it will be HOURS until they do damage he will care about at this rate.
((Myes, I'd have to agree with you my dear Seatus.))
(Ecta)
Really? well. . . There's another option. You can retrieve my equipment, and it shall be yours for now. I'm the one with a dark weapon nearby, Because I sealed it. When you equip my items, which I presume are stronger than yours, I will strengthen all of it. She said as she searched . . . "Equinox"'s mind for information about his past. (Your que to talk about Equinox Seatus!)
((@Liminori and Seatus: Why don't you guys just edit your old posts instead of making new ones, so that other people's posts for fight scenes (Such as mine) don't get left behind in all the new posts.))
((I'm in a hurry now, I don't think I won't have time to do RP until I finished my work ._.
Actually, I want Thin to take over Thanatos and Theo for now...
And Kaiju, if you want to you can take over Atropos...
And Seatus / Azure, you can take over Cleo for now...
Sorry for bothering ya guys, I have to finish my work now ._.))
((We have a right in this thread too, Azure.))
(Equinox)
I see the discarded armor, and proceed to equip it....
Equinox's Past
When Equinox was born, his mother didn't want him. He looked...monster-like since he couldn't control his appearance back then. The mother didn't know who the father was, so it was proclaimed a child of the Master. (equal of devil)No body showed a kindness to Equinox, no one talked to Equinox, except if they were cussing at him and spitting at him. Many nights Equinox would be alone in an allyway, crying himself to sleep in a cardboard box. God-forsaken, he was left without food, and he could only find some discarded bread every now and again. One twilight, however, and a particularly rainy one at that, a dark silhouette appeared before him and rumbled, "My son, why let them treat you this way? Take these, and be lonely no more." After that, Equinox never saw that man again. He looked in his hands to find too tiny rocks. He cried, and though they were mere pebbles he held them close to his heart as he slept. The next day, he found two Snipes in place of the rocks. One black, and one white Snipe. They cuddled with him, and sang him songs. That's when he stopped. Stopped letting himself go. He walked out of that allyway, after almost everyone forgot about his existence, and walked happily. He liked taking walks along in the Clockworks, and found himself an Owlite Keep. He walked in, and discovered the most amazing library. He often traveled there from that day on, reading every book he could. He found a book about Ancient Owlite Mystics, and tried out the spells for himself. He was surprised when he did succeed, and got good enough he no longer needed to say or think the words for the Sigils.
I finish putting on the armor and grin, "This might do something." I say.
(Ecta)
I feel like a liquid as I slowly expand outwards to all the other pieces of equipment.
" So, I took the liberty of finding out who you are by searching your mind. I thought I might as well, especially if I was considering to do a contract with you, and because I have a feeling I'm going to be stuck here for a bit during the battle. Thankfully, any information I might have gotten from you, She won't know. The only way to relay what I know, is by convincing you to tell her what we both know. But man, She will probably be confused and slightly offended that you took her armor. If you know what I mean." (As in, Maybe even Embarrassed?)
((
I'm not sure what to do anymore. Valentine has just been knocked of the sky. We need to somehow find a way to defeat Diablo, which hinges on Valentine's successful usage of the Vorpal Sword. But I also want Dagoon to be revived and to not be lonely anymore; currently, her only friend is Valentine, who is busy. And Diablo has yet to perform his retaliation.
So I'm kinda stuck. :/
))
(Theo! Where are you!?! And another way, I can get Equinox to be (Ecta? Dagoon?)'s friend, or somebody revives Dagoon before the End's mark was supposed to stop burning. (Still burning!)
((@Seatus: I know you we all have a right on this thread. I just thought it might save posts, you know =/
@Infernus: Don't worry about it, seeing as Thanatos and Atropos are incapacitated, there really isn't much of a problem with them not doing anything XD.
@Thinslayer: How about if Valentine gets caught by one of the Valkyries? That will allow you to continue without taking too much control of Theo. But you can also use Theo if you're set on that, I suppose, since Infernus has granted you control.
As for me, I'm not sure what to do either. My hands are tied until Kaijuhunter posts with Diablo's next move))
((
How do I give some a weapon of the gods and they don't know how to use it, I'll never know. But I guess I should've told you that once in her hands, she can mold it to a Sword Type of her liking. (aka quick, slow, or slow but with three strikes, such like FoV) Yep. Now I know if I try to participate in another fanfic, I'm gonna be shot =3))
Diablo
I roared in rage as I felt fire scorch my black hide and turned to the Isoran wielding an Elemental-looking sword. I exhaled a plume of fire at him and watched as the Guardian blocked the attack. When the ashes cleared, he was unscathed. Impossible. How could anyone survive that attack much less come out completely fine? I shook my massive head and snorted. No matter. My mighty tail lashed out, sending the Guardian, the Uranus Queen, and her little boyfriend flying. [Three down] I thought smugly.
Suddenly, I noticed a tickling sensation and watched boredly as another Isoran jumped onto my back and tried to singe me. He leapt off, and the small wounds healed almost immediately. "What the he-" he began, but i smashed him away with my wing. Still, he recovered, and roared, "BLEED, DAMMIT!" Then rushed up to my enormous leg and burned it. I smirked; it was clearly hurting him more than it did me. He smashed his fist into my iron-hard hide and winced from the pain, holding his hand. He screamed, "I WANT TO SEE YOU BLEED!" and sent three pathetic bolts of electricity arcing towards me. I deflect the attack and turn it against him, sending him staggering a few feet back. Suddenly, two Snipes appeared, carrying a Brandish, and I watched curiously as the blade transformed into a Combuster. He rushed forward and attacked, the sword clanging uselessly against my skin. I watch as his armor begins to change, and roll my eyes. Pathetic. My tail lashed out and sent the Isoran flying, and while it was only a glancing blow, i could tell his gear was probably already in bad shape from that attack. I roared triumphantly.
"YOUR SOULS WILL ALL BE MINE!!!"
Suddenly, a new voice cut in.
"Not on our watch, Diablo"
I turned to see the members of the Valkyrian Council standing before me, a purified Kirito once more among their ranks. I roared in outrage and blasted fire at them, but their damned King, Takiza, easily deflected the strike. I glared at them as Kirito pointed his blade at me, a look of pure contempt in his eyes.
"TODAY YOU WILL DIE!!!"
"TODAY YOU WILL DIE!!!" Diablo roared. "Don't count your snipes before they're hatched." Axis muttered. He then did as Anubis said "Master I need the scythe, I'll return it in due time." "Can we...trust you with it?" the swarm asked. "Of course." Axis replied. He felt a sudden surge of power, and when he looked down he was now holding a midnight black scythe. Axis smiled. He rushed forward cutting Diablo on the knees arms and stomach. The dragon yelled out in pain. "You valkyries think we're the ones that need saving?" Axis joked. Another bellow came up the dragons wounds had healed. "We need to somehow drain him of the power, souls, and CE he stole!" "There's no way we can beat him with that much energy healing him all the time!" Axis looked back at the knights Seatus had chosen, "You guys got a plan?"
Ikaros
I was flung aside by Diablo's immensely powerful tail as if i was a rag doll. Helping Trivoc and Arkus back to their feet, I growled as the dragon began to easily defeat everything and everyone we threw at him. I spotted the Valkyries and Axis about to engage Diablo when Axis turned to us. He roared, "We need to somehow drain him of the power, souls, and CE he stole! There's no way we can beat him with that much energy healing him all the time!" He asked, "You guys got a plan?" and I smiled. I did. Turning to Kirito, I shouted, "Hey, can you turn back into your Fallen Form again?" The King looked at me questioningly, but soon realization dawned on him. He said to everyone, "I just remembered! Shadow chips away at light, at pure energy, so theoretically, if enough shadow damage was inflicted, all of Diablo's surplus power would be drained away! Once that happens, we JUST might have a shot at bringing the Fallen down!" He nodded to me his respect and began to transform, his eyes glowing blood red and his wings morphing into scythe-like blades of death. His Divine Avenger had transformed into an Acheron, and he glared at Diablo with rage and bloodlust. I gulped, hoping his dark side wouldn't turn on us and join Diablo. Shaking my head, I turned to Trivoc and grinned. He smiled and drew his sword, ready for battle. The newcomers looked invigorated with hope, and the Alpha Squad was silent with grim determination. Together, we just might have a shot at this.
Diablo heard our plan and roared,
"DO YOU SINCERELY BELIEVE SHADOW POWER WILL DEFEAT ME?! I AM THE ANGEL OF DEATH, DESTROYER OF SOULS! I WILL NOT FALL TO YOU! DO YOU HEAR ME?! I WILL KILL YOU ALL!"
Still, beneath his thunderous voice, i almost thought i could hear something. Something that, right now, would be easily recognizable if it wasn't in Diablo.
I almost thought I heard fear.
((Why does no one ever notice the huge rock thrown by Arkus? T_T))
Trivoc
Diablo roared in response to his fireball attack, and breathed a large puff of flames at him. Trivoc raised his Aegis, but Arkus had pulled in front of him, so the Knight ducked behind the Guardian, and instead shielded Arkus' back.
They managed to survive the attack, but their shields and armor had several burn marks.
Trivoc stood back up, and turned to Diablo just in time to see a tail coming at them, sending him, Arkus, and Ikaros flying. They sailed briefly through the air, and landed on the ground with a thud. While this happened to them, Euclid and Parma had suddenly appeared from the shadows and performed a whirlwind of attacks on Diablo's right, back leg, before retreating. Cleo, on the other hand, performed something similar to a ballet number towards Diablo's left foreleg, and unleashed a flurry of swings with her battle-axe.
Ikaros was able to quickly recover from the attack, and pulled Trivoc and Arkus to their feet. Axis came up in front of the trio, carrying some sort of black scythe. [The more enchanted weapons we have, the merrier...] Trivoc thought. "We need to somehow drain him of the power, souls, and CE he stole! There's no way we can beat him with that much energy healing him all the time!" Axis said. Trivoc nodded, but he wasn't sure what to do about it. "You guys got a plan?" Axis continued.
Ikaros smiled mischievously and turned to the Mars King. "Hey, can you turn back into your Fallen Form again?" Ikaros asked. Trivoc wondered what purpose that was supposed to serve. "Are you sure that's a good idea?" He asked. Ikaros was about to explain, but the King Valkyrie beat her to it.
"I just remembered! Shadow chips away at light, at pure energy, so theoretically, if enough shadow damage was inflicted, all of Diablo's surplus power would be drained away! Once that happens, we JUST might have a shot at bringing the Fallen down!" He said. The Mars King then begun transforming back into the form that they had once witnessed at the warehouse. The Fallen King roared and struck a murderous look at Diablo.
Ikaros turned to Trivoc and smiled, the Knight returned it, and drew the Elemental Dagger.
Diablo roared defiantly, upon hearing the plan and watching the Fallen King "DO YOU SINCERELY BELIEVE SHADOW POWER WILL DEFEAT ME?! I AM THE ANGEL OF DEATH, DESTROYER OF SOULS! I WILL NOT FALL TO YOU! DO YOU HEAR ME?! I WILL KILL YOU ALL!"
Trivoc turned to the Dagger (now, no longer burning) wondered to himself [If this blade utilizes the elements, then that means it uses Ice as well. How will I use Ice... No emotion?] He thought. He shut his eyes, breathed deeply, and tried to forget everything around him. Luckily, no one had been severely hurt yet, and Trivoc was able to calm himself down.
He opened his eyes again. They were blank and cold ((Think of something similar to Sleepy Eyes, but with a more bored look)). He twirled the Dagger in his hands, and released a single slash that let loose a freezing blizzard towards Diablo. Trivoc aimed to freeze the dragon, and leave it open to attacks from his allies. Ice began forming on Diablo's body, and the dragon tried to shake it away. "Do it!" Trivoc shouted, unemotionally to the Fallen Valkyrie King.
The rest of the group waited for Kirito to sap Diablo's energy, before attacking. They were also ready to move in and distract Diablo if the Mars King took too much of a pounding.
((Seeing how the RP looks like its about to end, and I'm busy, I probably won't post much :/. I'll agree to the new RP assuming I can somehow bring Archy into it ))
(Equinox)
I take the blow, and fly back. I hurt, but I summon the energy to create a Sigil behind me, and jump off. Now, Spirit! I feel the rush as the soul strengthens my armor and weapon. It's just enough power to damage the monster's soul. I twirl through the air. "Diablo, if you despise me enough, it may just sting," I laugh. I bring the Combuster down upon his back. I wince as my broken knuckles shift beneath my skin, and jump off to perch myself on a melted beam. He has a weakness, but I fear the only weakness would be the Uranus Queen. I fear our attacks are less than useful. Maybe it's time we use my energy. Dagoon, think you can help me strengthen my weapon?
Theo caught Valentine in his arms, and they both collapsed. Valentine smiled at him, touched his cheek, and got up. "Whaddya say, shall we end this fight?" Theo nodded, and fired off a trail of explosions from his Acheron at the dragon's head. Valentine had flown back up again, but this time, she grabbed onto one of Diablo's horns and swung onto the back of his head. As he reeled, trying to shake her off, Theo continued to fire explosions at his head, distracting him from that goal. Valentine held high the Vorpal Sword and brought it down.
((I don't have time to write anything for now... But I thought Gwen is going to live but... ._.
Anyhow
I was actually planning that Thanatos and Atropos' goal was to actually summon the night mother, Nyx, which is needed to fully destroy cradle forever... and then Cleo and Theo used their lives to seal Nyx again... and then Diablo did something and blahblah
I got work to do ._.
But I must write this down-
Thanatos actually spared Valentine because he saw the same person he loved just seeing her- Gwen. It was because Gwen's predecessor gave pity on Thanatos when he was bounded, so he wanted to somehow repay his debt... but he couldn't because his job was to act as death.
So Theo's love for Gwen is actually.... influenced from Thanatos....
surprised that Theo fell in love to Gwen because of Thanatos? the God of Death did well in hiding his feelings...
And Cleo is the youngest of aaaaaaaaaaalllll
And Atropos and Thanatos' relationship is more like a brother-and-sister relationship....
I have to resume my work now ._.))
