Enjoy the Storm
RABBIT
As I vanish from my love, I materialize onto a building. The rain begins casting itself down, striking the ground relentlessly. Lightning flashes through the sky, as I reach for the Club charm on my necklace. Diablo won't be likely to accept a gift. I jump off and land on the ground, the ground beneath giving a grinding noise of rubber and rock. I take the charm, and it creates itself into a Card. A Card that will not lead him to light, but will show him the path to power. Only...I press the Card to his back, as it vaporizes his shirt and weaves itself to his skin and soul. Only, it'll take at least three people to lead him there by reading the Card. Three people he'd have to trust. Ha!
I float up into the darkening sky. Noticing a large piece of machinery approaching the ruins of a building sparks an idea. I teleport into the machine, and shove the man outside. I wave my hand across the controls, and laugh as it speeds straight for Diablo. I imagine the gas tank, and imagine a hole materializing on it, dripping. I then imagine a burning fireball the tractor will run over as it gets to Diablo. I teleport to Arch, grab him, and fly backwards a long ways before setting him down. "Sorry, friend, but I'm out to have some fun with this one." I say to him. I run to a spot where the windows shattered all over the ground, and telekinesis them to fly directly at Diablo. I see a tall, standing piece of the ruin, and cpmbine my teleforce and increased pushing for it to fall down towards Diablo. I chill the air above him, annoying icicles falling down on him now. As the tractor moves closer, I wish Gwen could finish. I'm running out of material. I grab the middle of a tire, the screws flying off, and I throw it at Diablo, and do this with the other wheels. I even teleforce a beam from a ruin, and send it hurtling towards him. And I teleport to the top of a building, looking down at him. And he won't even be able to pinpoint who did it. And the tractor moves closer...

Strategy
RABBIT
I jump down. The tractor has stopped. Tough. I jump under it, ripping out the battery, and slide quickly out. I teleport to a tall abandoned building also behind Diablo. Shpving the battery against the wall, I disrupt the electrical flow, and teleport away as it explodes, and the wall tips in the direction of Diablo, falling down towards him. I teleport behind him, all the stuff falling towards him, but I moving too fast for them to catch me. I quickly start rapidly punching him, teeth coming loose amnd bruises appearing. I shout, "KILLING IS SUCH A NASTY HABBIT! ANY BEATING HEART, YOU STAB IT! YOU SEE POWER, AND DRIVE YOURSELF TO GRAB IT! WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THEY'RE THE ONE PITYING YOU, DAMN IT! YOU'RE FEELING OUT OF PLACE, IS THAT IT? I AM THE ULTIMATE THE FINAL, MY NAME IS RABBIT!" I finish with a shove against the tractor, and I cast a fireball towards the gasoline trail it's made. He can't see me, and my words only echo in his head...

Fall of Almire
Vanaduke carefully stepped over a dead body on the street. It had been 7 days since the siege of Al'Mire City had begun, and the Valhallan/Morai alliance armies weren't letting up. He went into his tower, scaled the flight of stairs, and stepped out onto the turret ramparts to get a better view.
What he saw discouraged him immensely. Not only were his Crusader legions nowhere to be seen, but the enemy had grown in strength and numbers. A sizzling fireball flew past his head and landed into a house, followed by a fire and screams, then silence. He went out of the tower onto the street and felt something tug at his robe.
It was a little boy, probably no older than 5, holding out his hands in a wordless plea for sustenance, as his mouth was too parched from thirst to speak. Vanaduke withdrew his canteen and handed it to the boy, then stepped into an alleyway. He found and slumped into a small corner and buried his head in his hands to cry.
After a few moments, he got up and went to the north gate, where the Mountain of Vog loomed over the city. He wiped away bitter tears as he fled into the mountain and came to rest at the Temple of Vog. There, he fell to his knees and cried, "Why me!? Vog? Can you hear me? Listen to my plea! I am only 26, with my whole life ahead of me!" He sobbed and croaked, "I have a family, a kingdom, and friends who love me! How can you let it all go to hell? ANSWER ME!!"
No answer came. He laid his head on the dirt and wept bitterly. A little black bug caught his eye, so he sat up and looked at it. It had the strangest purple eyes he'd ever seen. He picked it up and let it crawl around on his hand. "Well, at least YOU'RE satisfied with your life," he muttered sadly. The bug crawled up to his wrist and, to his painful surprise, began to bury itself in it. He shrieked and tried to fish it out, but he couldn't get to it. Soon, black streaks were running up his arm and into his chest.
He began to hear voices inside his head. "ThEy ArE wOlvEs, hUnGry FoR thE bloOd oF YoUr KinGdoM. tAkE It BaCk!!" As they raised their voices with ever-increasing urgency, his body began to change. He screamed as his body grew and bloated. His eyes lit up in flames, and his skin became hard and scaly. His scepter, or what was left of it, grew with him and became enveloped in dark flames.
Then he reopened his eyes.
__________
There was a tremendous crash and a small avalanche as a massive, hulking figure emerged from the mountain. Great demons and devils poured from the mouth of the mountain in droves and hurled themselves at the allied invaders. Both men and angels screamed and perished before the mighty onslaught, leaving nought but flaming ashes in their wake. Vanaduke, now disfigured into a vast, hideous monster, stood in the midst of the city. Fire leaped from his body and consumed everything in its path, both friend and foe alike. Soon, the entire city had gone up in ashes, now just a smouldering ruin of its former self. Every man, mother and child perished in the flames; not one had escaped.
Vanaduke looked around at the devastation he'd wrought. "No...how?...this couldn't have happened! I came back to save them! WHY AREN'T THEY STILL ALIVE!? NOOOOO!! CURSE YOU BLOODY WOLVES!!" He slammed his scepter into the ground, sending streaks of fire into a crumbled house. "I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE!!" he bellowed to the wind. With that, he summoned his fiendish armies to begin his crusade against those who sought to destroy his beloved kingdom.

NEW DIRECTIVE!
RABBIT
I turn to the demon onslaught, not even caring to let my guard down. He can't remember me, all he knows is that something he's trying to remember is hitting him out of the blue. And many things are happening roughly at once: Two walls are falling down towards him, some glass shards are making their way to him, four tires diving at him, a piece of ruin it also diving, and a fireball is fly towards a gasoline trail leading up to a tractor's gas tank.
I hope I get to see him fend off all the attacks. Oh, wait a minute. They're travelling faster than I thought. Oh right. Advanced brain... I'm thinking faster than the speed is actually going.
SEATUS
I curl up as my Jabberwock form unfolds completely. The golden energy rolls off of me. I await the Queens. And I know Scarlet will only awake if Axis brings the pieces from the dimension.

Hi. You thought I was dead, didn't ya?
Kirito
I could feel myself drifting into the void. Glowing motes danced in and out of my field of vision, and I saw a beautiful, fair-skinned, white-haired woman leaning over to kiss me.
Her eyes shone with a dazzling light and her lips were softer than the most pristine silk. Her smile gave me strength, and her soft, angelic voice whispered faintly, "I love you, Kirito. Live, and fulfill your purpose." Her gentle, velvet-like touch left me, and she disappeared in a flash of light.
I awoke to see Arch and Top knocked out. My gaze shifted, and I watched as some... Cosplay nerd in bunny ears fought with Diablo. Slowly, I rose to my feet and drew my Divine Avenger. I flexed my wings; they felt better than ever. I lifted my blade with a new sense of confidence and advanced on Diablo.
It ends now.

I don't know what to do from here, so I'll need someone to give me a guiding post of sorts. Thin?

About Time
RABBIT
I jump almost instantaneously backwards before Diablo lays a hand on me. I stop, everything, and with all the teleforce I could muster, drop all the onjects before they hit Diablo, the fireball extinguishing itself. Gwen has to finish him off, and the attacks would be useless. I could probably use the gasoline and force it down his throat, and ignite a fireball inside him. But he could escaped the hold. I see a glimmer of golden light, and jump. I practically fly in the air, far above Diablo. I land with my shoes scraping on the road, the rain pouring. "So, you want him dead too?" I ask, tilting my head. "Then we have a common ground, and I am in the mood for exercise. Have an extra sword in your Arsenal?" I grin at him. His mask of seriousness seemed almost hilarious. "Loosen up and have some fun," My eyes glitter with cold cunning. "He's only another kill, isn't he?"

Enter the Finder and her doppelganger
Something tackled Topo just as one of Diablo's lightning bolts struck the place where he stood, and he tumbled to the ground. Something rough and callous met his skin, and he tried to see what it was. That strange black beast, the Finder, was lying on top of him. She rolled off of him and snapped a fireball, but instead of blasting him, she fired it at Diablo. He roared when it smacked him upside the head, and tried to retaliate with a lightning strike of his own. The Finder dodged it easily and leaped up to his neck. She managed to lock her teeth into it, but she hadn't counted on Diablo's resilience, and he tore her off and threw her to the ground.
She limped to her feet and gave him a rude gesture. It was becoming clear that if Diablo was to be defeated, they would need to work together, not attack him one by one. But no one, save perhaps Kirito, had much fight left in them.
A glorious figure clad in blinding light shot out of the abyss, with her majestic wings outstretched and her long silver hair flowing in the wind. Night turned to day when she appeared, and even the darkest hearts were left breathless at the sight of her. She alighted on the ground and slowly approached them. A soft, melodious voice came from her delicate lips:
"Why are you all staring at me like that?"
Fri, 07/26/2013 - 06:23
#361
Awesome, destroying lady of death, is very very pretty.
I stand up, dazed. "Uh... what?" Diablo glanced at me, and flicked his hand. A bolt of lightning struck at me.... or the place I was standing a second ago. The finder was on me, already sending a fireball at Diablo. She leapt on him, but Diablo threw her off.
Suddenly, a amazing figure rose from the abyss. She landed, then slowly approached us. "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Uh.... urm...." I stammered, distracted by her beauty. "Gwen....." I gave up on words, and just pointed at her. "You're beautiful..."

Fighting for Gwen
((I just realized, Kirito can see Rabbit. Which can only mean one thing...his madness is approaching))
RABBIT
I look at the man I asked a sword for. Could he see me? "What's your name, and how can you see me?" I ask quietly. No one could see me. No one! Not unless...a smile curls upon my mouth. "Oh, you poor, poor soul. Nay, I won't need a sword." I run swiftly, rain pouring down hard enough to create a mist. I can prove everyone wrong. I'm stronger than I look. But even the stranger that could see me couldn't crush Diablo, and Gwen, though enough power, would need to be multiplied into sub-powered people, much like Seatus. I have some power of my own, but I don't need it nor want it when I can be clever. I stop, standing next to Diablo. I circle him, and I whisper as I walk around him, making sure the words are heard:
"Madness, took his heart,
At the same time it was ripped apart,
His mind, left governed only by his vanity.
Such awful deeds require sacrifice of sanity,"
==================================
Oh Gwen, a savior sent by who knows what. And that makes me, her little secret. Her close, mysterious, secret, otherworldly man who seeks her heart. Insanity.

Through the looking glass
Time had no meaning. I had lost count too long ago to start again. The search for the mirror pieces through this twisted dimension was hell. The beasts here were vicious and ruthless. But after some close calls, I had finally fount it. The last piece to the mirror. I placed it next to the others, and the fragments glowed with an otherworldly light. Beastly howls echoed through the void. I found myself standing in the ruin of Brandell's keep. I had come just in time to witness Gwen jumping into a pit. I suddenly realized what she had done. She had gone for the crystalizer. It had probably gone unstable because of the mass amount of dark matter. I looked to see Kirito, standing in almost a trance. With a crazed grin on my face I shot, and Kirito crumpled. I quickly walked up to him. "I told you this wasn't over." I said remorselessly. The dark matter in the shells of the destroyer would make quick work of him.
To my left, I saw Diablo struggling with Top. I sensed a massive energy signature on him. The madman had actually absorbed some of the crystalizers CE. I quickly ran at the figures, and smashed shoulder first into Top. He flew off but stood back up. "You're outclassed here." I said simply to Topo, dark matter armor buzzing to life as I prepared to wipe him off Isora.

Again with this, Gzilla? *flips table over*
Kirito wouldn't crumple from that shot so easily. He just got revived, and he's stronger than ever. By the way, he wasn't in a trance, if you see my post, you'd notice that he was actually slowly, leisurely making his way towards Diablo in order to finish him off. -.- I really hate it when I'm in a role play and someone just one-hit-KO's my characters.
The dark matter in the shells of the destroyer would make quick work of him.
Are you kidding me? I doubt even Top would be downed by that bullet, and he's an Isoran. Kirito is even stronger than that, and you think one shot from your character can take him out? He just got back to peak condition after being STABBED by a claymore! One does not simply kill the Archangel of Vengeance.
Now, don't get me wrong, I know I'm ranting over little things, but I've been gettin tired of everyone's god-modding. Ultima continuously undermined Kirito, Seatus' character seems to be able to singlehandedly take on Diablo without a problem, and now Axis one-hit-KO's Kirito out of the blue. It's really been irritating me recently.
And, I don't know about Top, but I'm irritated by one other thing.
I said simply to Topo, dark matter armor buzzing to life as I prepared to wipe him off Isora.
Seriously, you're picking on Top's character now?
---
By the way, Top isn't the only one fighting Fiablo. There's Rabbit, The Finder, Top, and Kirito. Axis would have a tough time taking on all of them.

Can we keep the rants on the discussion page? I all seriousness, firstly dark matter's supposed to be powerful, secondly regarding top, it's a figure of speech. I'm not going to kill off anyone's character, I read the post Kaiju, but Axis didn't know that, so it's probably going to be a case of underestimating Kirito here.

Rabbit
RABBIT
I stop, feeling off-track. I stop behind Diablo and jump over him, landing near the group. How can they just stand there? How can they stop? They have Diablo right where they want him! I ponder them. One man has Gwen glittering in his eyes, which I appreciate. She needs to have a break. And she needs someone to love besides a practically faceless man, such as me. Just a distraction.
I see a man with jealousy in his heart. He eyes the man staring at Gwen with murder in his eyes. The same man who could see me. No wonder madness was approaching him. He only had her and him on his mind. Everyone else in his eyes was livestock.
I see a man who looks at the other two with respect. And I see him looking at Gwen too. The man that he, himself, forgot. Maybe he forgot it for good reason, like Alice. Maybe someone took his identity away. But it matters not. His bow is broken, his only key to remembering. I will help this man, because that's what I must do. I walk to him, and bring his chin up to meet my eyes. He can see me, but he'll forget me and remember my words. "Remember what I say to you now. Don't look upon the others and doubt yourself. You are just as important as them. You can be humble, but don't forget you're as much a part of this as anyone else. Why, you ARE Arch, after all. You are important, in the future." I pull down my reservoir of power. Only enough to ask the Star Dragon for some assistance. Time turns around the bow, and it...how do I say...un-breaks. I hand it to him with a smile. "Stay strong, Archemiday."
I turn away from him as a tear trickles down my cheek. I can already see the look of confusion on his face.
I look at Axis. He always was a cocky bastard...
Well, so was Kirito, so this should be good...

PokeMMO is taking over my life.
As Gwen came out of the hole, I had to admit, she was beautiful. Someone came over to me, and held my chin up to their face. ""Remember what I say to you now. Don't look upon the others and doubt yourself. You are just as important as them. You can be humble, but don't forget you're as much a part of this as anyone else. Why, you ARE Arch, after all. You are important, in the future.". The person hands me my bow, and finishes by saying "Stay strong Archemiday". Wait, what just happened? Why do I have my bow? Why is the only thing I remember from 30 seconds ago words? Sigh... This is one of those days...
(Sorreh, house renovation and other distractions such as making a Youtube channel have been distracting me.)

Kirito
I faintly heard the bang of a gun during and turned around just in time to get a blast of dark matter to the face. The impact knocked me over, and as I tried to reorient myself, Axis' blurred figure sneered down at me.
"I told you this wasn't over," he laughed remorselessly.
I could faintly make out Axis running towards Top and held my head in pain. I snarled to myself, thinking,
I just got stabbed, you fool! Do you really think a little dark matter will take me down? HA!
With a primal roar of rage I got back on my feet and sent Axis flying with a powerful teleforce attack. I caught a glimpse of the boy in bunny ears giving me a suspicious look, but turned back to Axis before I could say anything.
Axis fired off a series of bullets, strafing to avoid my attack. I growled as I watched Top, Arch, and the cosplay kid struggle to fend off Diablo. Axis laughed with a maniacal glint in his eyes, but my own face was calm and cold as steel. I caught one of the dark matter bullets and crushed it in my palm with ease. I sneered at Axis and encased him in a teleforce bubble.
I stared at Gwen's traitorous cousin, a look of disgust in my eyes. I scoffed indifferently and ran back to help the other with Diablo. I stopped short and turned back to Axis, taunting,
"You're outclassed here."

Stalemate
I could hardly stop myself from laughing. Kirito had slipped on one major thing, I could easily disperse energy. With a snap of my fingers the teleforce bubble easily dispersed. I quickly rushed Kirito and landed a right hook on the smiling idiot. "We're finishing this." I said, tired of the amount of annoyance Kirito had caused me for the past amount of years. I drew my dark matter blade, quickly went into a defensive stance, and waited. But as soon as I had gotten comfortable the portal shook with unnatural howls. Snarbolax's poured through the portal like water. I found myself suddenly surrounded by the beasts, untouched. Valkyries, demons, and snarbolax's, this was an interesting day. I quickly motioned to the crowd fighting Diablo. "Kill." I said simply. The beasts charged, but something felt off.
Something much more powerful lurked on the edges. There was an immense power to the mountains, but something else seemed to be lingering. I shrugged it off, but another surge of demons came through. It seemed we were in a stalemate, the demons and whatever was controlling them went straight for both valkyries and knights, the knights were fighting the Morai and their angelic allies, and the angels were fighting rogue valkyries and demons. Even the Snarbolax's were easily distracted by the crowds, and were already being taken on by knights and valkyries. I quickly took off, and was about to be intercepted by Kirito, but he was attacked by a pack of demons just as he tried to take off. By the time he chopped his way through them, I was long out of sight.

Ending the standoff
"You're outclassed here." That message from Kirito was the last straw for Diablo. He raised his arms to summon a vast storm with which to smite Kirito...
...and it fizzled out.
He looked down. Gwen dropped her arm, as if she had caused his storm to fail. Enraged, he drew his sword and tried to smash her. She deadpanned and looked away with mock disinterest as she caught and broke it between her fingers. She returned her gaze to Diablo and said, "Enough." He recoiled, then picked up the pieces of his sword. He thought to himself, No! She must have used my energy. I wonder...I wonder if she can be warped.
He began to try and warp her mind. It must have had an effect, because she grimaced just as he started. She whipped around fireblasted him, throwing him to the dirt. He got to his feet and grabbed her in a telekinetic grip. To his shock, she canceled it out and caught him instead. He formed a fireball in his hand and threw it at her, forcing her to drop him to block it. She raised her arms, and the fireball fizzled out against her shield. When she dropped her guard, he was nowhere to be seen.
That is, until she heard the Finder shriek.
Diablo had teleported behind her, and was holding the Finder by the neck in his left hand. He laughed wickedly as she gasped for air. "Bwah ha ha ha ha! This is almost TOO easy! All I have to do to make you stop attacking me is take someone hostage! Why didn't I think of this earlier? I'd love to stay and chat, but I have an appointment to keep. Toodles!" He summoned a black portal in the sky and tried to fly through it.
He hit his head on an invisible field instead.
"Not so fast, uncle," Gwen retorted. She took Kirito's and Topo's hands. "Take now each other's hands, for I have a gift to give you all." Arch took Topo's hand and Astraea took Kirito's hand, and when they had formed a circle, Gwen raised her head and closed her eyes.
The day grew even brighter as the four figures drew light and power from the one. Pain and pleasure rolled together as one, and darkness faded from their hearts as her energy flowed into their very souls.
Then she opened her eyes and smiled.

I walk away from Arch for the group to join energies. I walk in the rain. Fighting isn't my thing. Helping is. And right now, I'm confused. Should I fight...or help...? Well, maybe if I have anything. What could I do for the other side that they didn't already have. They have Gwen, Arch, Top, and Kirito. And Diablo has, well Diablo. Same deal goes with Axis. It seems to me I am just their "luck".

Oh, come now
RABBIT
I feel myself remembering, as I stare into the raining sky
I hold this girl in my arms as we stand atop Vog's Mountain. She was faint when I found her here. I heard her land like thunder, and I was curious. Power surged through her, much like my own surging through me. A storm crackled in the distance, lightning shining in her hair. She opened her eyes, and stared into mine. I felt my heart melt. For years, I'd played god, ruining and building lives, no one noticing it, no one remembering me. I might as well had been a god. But something was different about this girl that affected me. She could SEE me. She intrigued me. She was quite interested in me too. I smile at her.
"How far did you fall from the heavens?"
"Oh, quite far actually. I think I scraped my knee!" She giggles, and I can tell this is out of her normal character. "And how about you? You could be the devil for how you look!" It was true, in a sense. People whom I'd made my infamous "deals" with dubbed me the devil, and, well, quite handsome. Which was funny, since no one could remember me after they looked away. "Oh, I've been up and about. And I noticed you landed here...I didn't hesitate. I'm glad I didn't." I smile shyly, as she laughs at the slightly flirtatious comment. "I'm glad you didn't as well!" I help her up, and forget to let go of her hands. She doesn't seem to mind. And as demons fly around us, I ask politely. "Shall we meet again, sometime? I'll buy lunch." She laughs. "That'd be splendid. I have some demons to close off." Now it's my turn to laugh. "Shall we both? We might as well." She replies, "Maybe, if you can keep up!" She runs up the rocks, and I follow close behind. We get to a...well, a pit. Demons fly out, dozens per second. "Right then, so, first we-"
"Oh, I know how. Where'd you learn?"
"Natural talent. You?"
"Owlites."
"Ah."
"Well, let's close it off then!" I smile.
It was more romantic than closing a gate to hell would usually be. We actually made a dance out of it. Holding out our hands, capturing the teleforce of reality, and splitting it's separate energies to create a thin seal. But we couldn't stop there. Weaving took time, and didn't we just love that. We walked across the seal as it weaved, and danced as the light and teleforce danced and weaved around us. A twirl here, a tip there. Our power, manipulating the reality around us. The light shining like stars all around us. She eventually laid her head on my shoulder. I laid mine against her head as well, and the seal was done for at least five minutes before she remembered. "Oh! My friends! They're waiting for me! I should get ba-" I pulled her close, my lips only a short distance from hers. "We'll meet again. Mind me knowing your name?" I looked warmly into her eyes.
"Gwen. What about your own?"
"My name? Huh...I never thought of giving someone my name! Well, I call myself Rabbit, but my true name is.." I whispered it in her ear...
As she left, we gave each other one lasting look, our fingers clasped to each others' as she hovered over the edge of the mountain. "Till we meet again..." I said softly, and she smiled and nodded with light in her eyes. Our fingers slipped apart slowly, and continued until they were completely slipped apart, and she vanished in the air. I stumbled around until I fell flat on a rock, a stupid grin on my face...

Rabbit remembers, but does Gwenyvier?
Gwen's eyes came to gaze in Rabbit's direction. She seemed almost to be looking straight at him. Did she know he was there? Could she see him? She turned her head to look at Diablo. He stood tall with his sword over his shoulder, and behind him stood a vast army of demons, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. He spoke no words, but pointed his sword at our heroes, directing the army to attack.
Gwen returned her gaze in Rabbit's direction. "I cannot see you, but I know you are here. Shall we once again dance the dance of death, to seal away the legions of demons together in harmony?"

Gwen took Rabbit's hands, and a tear of joy trickled down her cheek. "May I have this dance?"
The winds politely parted to let the couple through. They danced merrily through the crowd, bringing many a fiend to his knees breathless and countless demons to sleep. They stepped on more than a few toes, and threw numerous fiends out of the dance.
Gwen exclaimed to her friends, "Come on! Dance with us!"

Dancing for Death
RABBIT
What started out as a waltz quickly turned into a dance of death. I loved it.
We twirl on opposite sides, cutting down demons with multiple swipes. I telekinetically hold my cards around my arms in bands, as they rotate at a rapid pace, and I twirl, cutting down demons left and right, piece by piece. We twirl until we meet back at the center. We press hands, elbow to elbow, palm to palm. We spin at a vertex established by our feet, before leaping into the air, switching sides, and symmetrically land on our hands, rapidly kicking and pivoting directions, taking out multiple demons before pushing off of the ground.
We land back to back, and I reach behind me and link arms with Gwen. I lean forward, holding her off the ground as her feet shoot like gunfire, knocking out every demon coming into contact. I push her off into the air, and she twirls amongst the airbornes, shredding anything stupid enough to come close to her sword and fire. I shred the grunts surrounding me before catching her with both hands, and setting her on the ground.
We take a break, linking arms and spinning at a commonpoint where our feet meet up, spinning and shredding everything before we dance quite more. "Tired?" I ask sarcastically. We both look like we want to shred more than at present. "So, dinner...later...maybe? I know a REALLY classy cafe about three blocks from here. I may have stole a couple of banana muffins while no one was looking...or should I say REMEMBERING me...and their cappuccinos are pretty tasty. A perfect casual breakfast. Seem good? Because I could really go for casual tomorrow..." I grin, knowing she was suppressing a scold and a laugh at the same time. "How about it?"

Angel and the Devil
RABBIT
We dance gracefully parallel, her sending her sword through all, as cards shoot out of my sleeves into every demon coming close. We dance until we return to the middle. It's only us. Only...us. We waltz through the crowds, our frequencies melting into a sphere-like shield. I hold her head to my chest, as we dance through the evil of the crowds. We share a look. My Fury and Swarm eyes into her pure silvery ones. I hardly notice the landscape change...until we are dancing around the pit atop Vog's Mountain. Letting each other go, we dance on opposite sides of the hole, and as we weave the seal, we walk across it, joining a hand, and orbit around each other. The seal burns a bright white, the teleforce heated in power. We stop for a single moment, and press both our hands against each others'. Staring into her eyes, I lean in, as does she, and our foreheads press as we face each other. Find another. Find all others to keep you company. For when we leave here you will be unable to see me. Find solitude in a chaotic world. Find a rock to keep you steady in the storm. For I shall only return at the death of Diablo...
But why we can't stay here? Why can't we forget the world outside?
Gwen! I've never heard such a notion! I smile at her innocence, yet her single selfish thought. Gwen, you have a whole life ahead of you. I'll be waiting at the towards the end. That is when we will have peace. Do not forget me Gwen. Do not forget my true name I have trusted you with. The name I was given when I entered this reality...hey, someday we'll get together in a cafe. You never know...
Never know...I won't forget you. How could I? She replies quietly in my mind. She lays her head on my shoulder, and we dance again in silence. As the frequencies harmonize, a soft singing can be heard. And we dance to it. Tears appear in our eyes from this parting, but we can only remain strong. And we dance. We dance until the cries of every demon cease, and the song sings itself in the silence of the night. Gwen must fight Diablo with her friends. I hug her as I begin to fade out, just as the seal fades out as well. "No! Stop!" She yells desperately, but I cannot control it as I'm tugged from this reality into a land of black, towering forms of trees, spectrums of colors lining each one. I pound the black grass ground, tinged in cyan. "TAKE ME BACK!" I scream, tears filling my eyes. "TAKE ME BACK!" I crumple to the ground. It's too late.
GWEN
I stand there...as the stranger I've thought about for a long time disappears before me. I look over the mountain, and see Diablo in the distance, my friends fighting him bravely. I finger my sword, and stare at it in the distance. If I was going to do anything to honor Rabbit in his absence, it would be what he said I must do. This power is all that I need, and I shall bear the responsibility that follows it. Snarbolaxes attack the citizens, and it is all I can bear, to wish for a solution.
But the solution is me.
I teleport to my friends, each using their newly found power in their unique ways. I summon a dragon of flames, and it bullets from the sky towards Diablo and Axis.
((Kaijuhunter, it seems only sensible that you take Diablo's role. If you don't want to or can't, I will...but I suck at being villainous.
Gzilla, Axis...Axis is good...just don't make a seemingly almost-automatic victory for him...maybe...I don't know...your character
TOP, YA NEED TA POST
ARCH, YOU CAN WRITE MORE, I know you can...and I know you got potential
Ultima....yeah.....whatever.....
ANYONE ELSE I FORGOT, POST TEH STUFF BECAUSE THE ONLY TIME I COULD FORGET CHU IS IF CHU AIN'T POSTIN'....'cept Ultima. I only remember him because his characters have ego issues))

End
GWEN
SEATUS
I feel myself being cancelled out. Something wasn't right! I bellow in rage as I'm shrunken down to my human form, and dust my arms off. What the hell was going on?! I suddenly started fading out, and Xindao fell on his hands and knees as a time-wave boomed across the world...I awake in a Swarm Citadel, the Master sitting on his chair. I snarl and run for him, but a thousand arms of Swarm hold me back. "What are you doing here?!"
"I am merely containing problems..."
Equinox enters the room, and he's forced to the ground near me. I hear many shackles click onto my arms, and the burn OH THEY BURN! I make a painful face as I glare at the Master. "Like them? Shadow Steel and Sun Silver alloy." We're both taken away and throw into neighboring cells. What kind of present is this. What did he do when I was gone? This is a horrible life. I guess they fell under his tyrannical rule...
XINDAO
Xindao got up, and looked around. Where was his sister? All he remembered was falling into a watery nothing and....that was it. He had only just woken up. He runs to Kirito. "WHERE'S GWEN!" His voice bellowed in the silence that echoed across everyone. He ran to Top, grabbing him by the shoulders. "WHERE IS SHE?!" His voice was as sorrowful as it could have ever been. He turned to look at Axis, and his looks changed. His eyes glow red with hate. A shadow rises behind him...yet upon further inspection it was no shadow...
RABBIT

Hmmmm
Let us end this once... and for all..... Oh, and I'm taking Diablo.

Topo
______
I stare as Gwen dance, and I just stand there. Her beauty... cannot be compared, by anything. I ogle at her, when suddenly she leaped at Diablo. I crumple to my knees, the power suddenly draining. She swings her sword, then nothing. Just... nothing. She dissappeared, and everything just stared into the distance, silent. Xindao appears, and grabs my shoulder. "Where's Gwen?!" he screams at me, and I can only shake my head mutely, before he moves on to Kirito. I shake my head, oblivious to everything. Xindao was correct. WHERE IS GWEN?
Diablo
_____
I laugh, as the mortals and Angels join together, and start battling me. Gwen and the idiot 'rabbit' was dancing, killing fiends. I sneer. I don't need them. I swing my sword at Topoyozada, barely missing, slashing at his armour. I kick Kirito back, then throw the kid Archimeday away. I hear Gwen say, "It's just us, Diablo." Then she lunges at me. I scream, then suddenly I'm in a void. Just complete darkness. "Where are you, you coward! Gwenyiver! Come here and fight!" I scream.

Farewell Xindao
XINDAO
"You have NO more business here, Axis. GO TO HELL!" A shadow moves across my arm, becoming large with Swarm. I lift Axis in the air, and chuck him far off. The Swarm dissipates, and I turn to Top. "Farewell, Top. And Kirito..." I smirk, as Swarm wings appear behind me. "You won't kill me, nor Gwen, nor Diablo. Enjoy your half-life..." I soar into the sky, and at it's peak I disperse into thousands of Swarm ravens, flying into the void of space. I'll find Gwen, and this is my one gift that may help. As soon as I find her, I'll release it...

NUU! Diablos mah character!
I hereby override that post! Diablo is my character, I'd feel weird if someone just took over him. I noticed that -other than Gwen- Top, your character, was the only one that wasn't just taken out by Diablo. -.- Kinda weird if you ask me. I shall override that post. In posting as Diablo soon.
@Seatus; Kirito does not intend to kill Gwen. And he would certainly have trouble trying to kill one of his best friends (Xindao). But Diablo, on the other hand.... And what the heck was with god-modding all over poor Gzilla's character? Not sure about him, but I get irritated to the point of making a -.- face whenever people instantly take out my characters in a RP. Like you and Top just did.
By the way, do you know Pow? What I mean is, have you seen his posts? I can't remember if you were here on the forums at the time
@Pow: that's great, and welcome to the RP community. Just saying, it's kinda fishy, so I'm guessing almost everyone is going to be watching you until you prove yourself as mature as you say. I hope you are, as it would be sad to lose a potential RP member

Astraea
I woke up to find myself in a strange, otherworldly dimension. Weird.
How the hell did i get here?
Rubbing the crusty rheum out of my eyes, I looked around. I vaguely saw Kirito, Axis, Gwen and Top, some... Freak with animal ears, Diablo, and a few others.
I looked up and scowled at the skies as I watched Diablo choke the beast that had stolen Seatus back at the Council Hall.
A frown spread across my face and I slowly got to my feet as Diablo chortled, "Bwah ha ha ha ha! This is almost TOO easy! All I have to do to make you stop attacking me is take someone hostage! Why didn't I think of this earlier? I'd love to stay and chat, but I have an appointment to keep. Toodles!" He summoned a black portal in the sky and tried to fly through it.
He hit his head on an invisible field instead.
"Not so fast, uncle," Gwen called out, suddenly next to me. She nodded for me to come over, and I tentatively took Kirito and Arch's hands in my own, then made room as the cosplay kid came over to join in.
Gwen took a deep breath and coanded, "Take now each other's hands, for I have a gift to give you all." When we had formed a circle, Gwen raised her head and closed her eyes.
The day grew even brighter, and I felt power surging through my veins. Horrible agony and soothing pleasure rolled together as one, and I felt the darkness in my heart dissipate as Gwen's energy flowed into my soul.
Then she opened her eyes and smiled. She looked over at the rabbit kid, but my gaze was strictlt on Diablo. He stood tall with his claymore over his shoulder, and behind him stood a vast army of demons, numbering in the hundreds of thousands. He spoke no words, but pointed his sword at us, directing the army to attack.
I watched Gwen take the rabbit kid's hands, tears of joy trickling down her cheek. "May I have this dance?" I slapped my forehead in exasperation. Now wasn't the time for romance! There was a legion of demons charging towards us!
Kirito looked furious and Top looked confused. I bumped the two with my elbow and snickered, "Got some competition, eh guys?"
They frowned at me and growled, "Shut up" in unison.
As the army of beats charged, Gwen and the rabbit danced merrily through the massive army, bringing many a fiend to his knees breathless and countless demons to sleep. They stepped on more than a few toes, and threw numerous fiends out of the dance.
Gwen exclaimed to everyone, "Come on! Dance with us!"
My eyes widened. Dancing was a better fighting method than I thought.
But I think I'll stick with my sword.
Hack. Slash. Duck. Parry. Stab, roll, slash again. I felt no greater pleasure as I cut down the army of beasts with ease. Top and Kirito fought by my side, and the three of us ripped through the enemies like children ripping through Christmas presents.
I signal Kirito to follow me and point over to the enormous mountain where Diablo stood, viewing the battle. My friend nodded in understanding.
He smiled and said, "You have no idea how strong he is now."
I scoffed and replied, "Well, if we die because of this, I'll kill you."
Kirito gave me a grim smile and said, "Then we best not die." then raced off towards Diablo. I called out to him, "Kirito?"
He stopped and stared down at me.
"You've always been like a brother to me, always taking care of me and making sure I was okay, ever since I joined the council. You're a great friend."
Kirito grinned, an evil glint in his eyes. Uh oh, he was gone already.
He growled, "Sentiment. Come on, we're going to kill this guy and get a Snipe to eat at Kentucky fried snipes after we're done." I laughed.
Suddenly, someone taps my wing from behind. It's top. He smirked at us and said, "Mind if I join in on the fun?"
Kirito nodded. "The more the bloodier!"
With that, Kirito took off. I grabbed Top's legs in order to fly him up as well, but I ended up grabbing at a far more... Unconventional spot. A blush spread across my face and I immediately corrected my error, then rocketed skywards, not far behind Kirito.
Diablo must die. My spies have told me. I know the evils he's committed. Why the others want to kill him doesn't matter. All that matters is that he must pay for his sins.
The final battle approaches. And with it, Retribution.
---
Diablo
I laugh as the three imbeciles foolishly scaled the mountain, ready to fight me. Kirito was the first up, followed by Astraea and Topo. The trip drew their blades and assumed a fighting position. Kirito smirked, his eyes filled with an insane bloodlust. "It ends now, Diablo."
I laughed a cruel, hearty bellow and readied my claymore. I roared, drowning out the sounds of the battle below, "THEN COME! COME AND MEET YOUR DEMISE!"
Today I put an end to that bastard Kirito. Topo will die like the useless fool he is. And Astraea will bear my child, whether she want to or not. She will be mine.
Everything is falling into place.

Kaiju,
I put a post in Gremlin chatter about how I've changed from before. And if you want proof, here's a forum I never needed a secondary account and tha I diodn't fuss over a temp ban with. http://archive.ninjakiwi.com/Forum/member.php/55150-ExplodingNinjaMonkey6. I''m not banned there, I have no emergency alts, nothing to prevent a ban. Just raw me.

Hmph
Well, I assumed you abandoned us Kaiju. So obviously some powerplays would need to be made to wake you guys up, since you have not posted on the story thread for 3 days.
So fine. Let Diablo and Gwen have a fight. But he'll end up trapped in the sword, and I doubt anyone will want to post now that Thinslayer's gone.
Pow's name does sound familiar! ^w^
Thinslayer also left me or anyone else Gwen. I decided to use her here, but don't plan to overtake her character for future RPs, since I have a personality crisis and really am unable to portray as such.
Axis was there, Xindao was angery, and then he left....powerplaying could have been beating the crap out of him, but no, he chose to throw him a couple feet. Goodness gracious. Axis would have left anyway, and Xindao wanted him to at least sense the scum he was for his sadistic ways.
So Kaijuhunter, let's set Gwen back in front of Diablo. Let's fight.
Oh, and I never actually gave permission for Top to use Diablo. I originally gave it to you Kaiju.
-.-

Wait... Whaaaa?
I just made it so only Top, Astraea, and Kirito were there! I was planning for Kirito to pass out, bloody and defeated, after the trio's attack lasted long enough, then Diablo would severely injure top and Astraea, about to strike a finishing blow, but Kirito comes in at the last second and stalls him. Then Astraea and Top defeat diablo and deal him inside of his sword. Stereotypical boss fight. If you want, I'll add Gwen into the fray.
@Pow: wonderful! Nice to see that you've become the better man. I admit everyone kind of was picking on you before, but that was not without provocation. Sorry for that. Well, anyway, welcome to the Internet, please enjoy your stay.

Thanks Kaiju.
I'm so glad you now welcome me nicely. I mean, you were really mean to me when you treated Pow as a noob in your second fanfic thing (Too long ago to remember the name), and Happyapathy neglected me from his fanfiction altogether.
But I'm glad people treat me as they do to everyone else now. It brings a big smile onto my face, and makes me feel happier than my avatar does. :)

Knees
GWEN
Gwen drop to her knees, her divinity failing her for many moments before getting up again. I will leave, and take Diablo with me. He may be my only family left. She takes out Xindao's gun, as it adjusts itself into a shining sword, brilliant with light. "I shall call you Myrtenaster." She whispers, and jumps high up and lands behind Diablo, shoving a fist in his direction. She misses, but quickly recovers by touching his skin, sending fire out of her hand. She jump-flies away, and flips over and onto Diablo's shoulders. She lands a quick kick before flipping off and landing. No one will take away my friends. I raise my hand, and send a few lightning strikes his way as the black creatu-wait, who was I thinking about?
FINDER[I'm assuming I'm using her too until I send her...you know maybe that's what I'll do. We've had Gwen and the Finder for such a long time, and Spiral Knights has changed. Next roleplay, we're doing old school the more fun way.]
I struggle away from Diablo, deflecting his sword as it attempts to slit my throat. As the time wave moves by, I feel the woe Seatus felt once he was forgotten. I am ripped from their reality, and return to my own to find...
Same daily lives of Knights. Oh my Vog! When I fell through time, I...
So that's what could've happened if Seatus was gone...
Thank Vog the Star Dragon released him...
I run into the hills before the Knights see me an panic...
RABBIT
I hold her close, hugging her and daring not to let go. It pains me to see her like this. But it's so necessary...so indescribably necessary. I hold her, not absorbing the energy, but channeling it into her less painfully. "Inherit thy power, love. Never let go of it, for darkness shall take the night shall you deny your purpose..." I look her directly in the eyes, as she doesn't comprehend me. I let go of her as I fade away. "Find me once you're done here. Then I shall show you the path. Hold onto your power tightly. The darkness knows of you now, but it's many eyes can no longer see you, nor can it's many arms reach you. Remember my name...Rabbit." I fade away, the rest of the energy channeling harder than before, but not enough to burn her up.
Though you can't remember my image, I will always stand before you, and I will always serve you. You are my guiding star, and I will never forget...
((the words will hide in her mind, and only show themselves at the correct time for her to leave))
