| Reize Seatlan | Reize Seatlan The vastness of the savannah is what mas the Giza Plains, the land rich in green. It has various flora and plants that grow rather frequently. In this morning glory, the Nomadic hurders are seen passing through as they take advantage of the hot season. Several large black stones are absorbing the sunlight, slowly glowing with brillaince. They say that it is never the destination that is important, but the journey to takes to get there. That should hopefully hold true as the young boy wanders along the plains. In his hand is a map, which shows the destination tagged: Narshe. Reize was supposed to arrive at Narshe to collect a few goods to bring back to Fluorgis. One of the shipment personnel was injured, so couldn't make the trip. Reading the map, his antenna hair flips up. It moves from one side and then to the other. As if idea has struck, he brightens to a cheer and strikes a fist to the air. "I MADE IT TO NARSHE!!!" All of the herders look back and sweatdrop at the boy. |
| Valencia | Valencia Valencia is walking alongside Reize, apparently looking fairly annoyed as she says, "I knew we should have taken a left at Albrook. I don't think we're even near Fluorgis." as she looks over at the map and says, "...You're holding it upside-down." as she moves to right it in his hands as she says, "Honestly, this is why you have someone like me around." |
| Stitch | Stitch Lost. That is perhaps the easiest way to describe what has happened to poor Stitch. He has been traversing land after land (after land!) in search of his OTP and has yet to find her. At the present moment, he has managed to find himself in what has come to be known as the Giza Plains. Not that Stitch actually knows what this place is called. He's still just trying to find his way through it. The little blue fluffball has taken to playing dress up it seems, as he is completely decked out in what can only be considered a Safari Adorableness. The huge tan & khaki colored safari jacket is way too big for Stitch, the sleeves dragging along the ground as he makes his way through the Giza Plains. His knapsack is also hanging from his back as he just meanders through, dragging his feet as if he's been wandering for ages. To top it all off, there's a huge khaki colored safari hat dwarfing the fluffball's head, which he has to keep pushing up with his claws. Safari Stitch only stops when he hears a nearby exclamation of supposed victory, turning and popping up onto his hind legs in a fashion that resembles that of an animalistic nature. Headtilt. Super BinocuVision: Activated. That is until the hat drops down over his eyes. Fwump. |
| Leida | Leida Even early in the morning the bright golden sun heats the plains up to toasty savannah temperatures, basking the entire region in a permeating warmth that the occasional breeze drifting in from the swamps does little to discourage. The Dry Season for which this heat is so aptly named has kicked the locals into full swing, bringing them down from their mountain retreats to graze pasture animals and harvest the unique form of magicite called Sunstones. The nomadic herders that pass by are all men, as is their custom. The women and children remain in the sprawling tent village near the center of the plains, creating crafts, clothing, and processing the necessities to cart back for trade during the rainy Wet Season. There are many reasons for this cycle, not the least of which are the powerful monsters that roam the area when the waters are high. For now the plains are relatively safe with only the occasional pack of prairie wolves to bother would-be travellers. One of the more obvious landmarks is the massive black stones which tower high over all else on the flat lands. They glow brightly from the grand energy the sun pours down into them at the moment, providing the much sought after magic stones during this limited time for those who know how to collect them. However, one of these monumental obelisks is currently burdened with something beside the sun's rays. Upon one of the larger outcropping a few feet off the ground, a small girl lies curdled up. Her eyes are closed and from the gentle rise and fall of her chest its a fair bet that she has managed to fall asleep on the rocky shelf. Long black hair drapes over her face like a shade, which has kept the light from waking her just yet and the cute way that her hands are curdled up at her chest gives the impression of a cat taking a nap in the sun. |
| Angantyr Vespar | Angantyr Vespar Angantyr is boat stuck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OmPW3mamSE However, right now, he is out getting more supplies, and is actually on his way back to the makeshift harbor they made. Because the Costa Del Sol Authorities were /PISSED/ at uh... Faris standing infront of him and Jasmine, "So I will need some help with this boat.." Hours later Angantyr is throwing another guy overboard. Minutes later, He is holding a guy while someone on Faris' crew is punching him in the stomach. More time. Angantyr appears behind a guy slowly surrounded by more of the pirate crew. "Boo." and then he jumps ship. "I can never go to Costa Del Sol again..." he sighs. Oh well, he'll just...have to. Man, he really wanted to get enough money to spend like a day there once. Dark Knighting is hard work! So he is seen now walking through the plains menacingly towards his next destination. God help him if he meets anyone that wants to rob him. Or rather, may god help them. This doesn't stop him from feeling darkness near by...but he just pushes on. He doesn't have time to investigate, or care. He'd get so many frowns if his current company knew that, but whatever. |
| Seith | Seith There is yet another person nearby within this area. Watching the girl knows as Leida with immense Interest, Seith had recently entered the area and is now situated atop the very obelisk of black rock that she is near the bottom of. One foot on the tip, while the other leg dangles off over the edge, the horned man watches over the area. There's another area he is here - though the young hero is certain to be unaware of it. "Reize Seatlan." Seith whispers to himself in the lowest of voices, his green eyes finding the young boy who manages to fail at reading a map. Many would mistake his movements as that of a fool - but the sorcerer has come to know better. This young boy is not always able to find the place he wants to be at, but as if it were some magicaly gift, he has a tendency to be where he /needs to be/. His eyes widen for a moment, before he squints again and glances over the area at large. There is a gathering of light and dark here - inevitably, the two elements draw eachother out. Some, he recognizes - Reize of course, and his fellow Shadow Lord, and then there's Angantyr. He has little desire to kick up any trouble at the moment. Still, neither does he desire to just wander off. He wishes to behold this meeting - observe this little meeting. So, he just remains at the tip of that onyx obelisk, backed by the sun. Then his gaze fall upon the /strange/ creature with a hat in the distance. His head tilts a little in confusion at its presence... such is unlike any monster he's ever seen! He wonders in that moment, if he might lay some heartless down besides Leida - and see what the heroes might do! More-so, he heard there was something special about this girl in relation to them... so... two birds - one stone! The man slowly rises from his seated position, and casts a hand to the air. And in immediate response, a six-some of heartless Shadows, and three Soldiers suddenly either rise from the ground or pop up from black clouds, while the man grins wickedly. |
| Reize Seatlan | Reize Seatlan "I don't know! This map says that we're on the right one!" He looks back at Valencia, grinning. Reize is basking in his triumph. Nothing can deter that feeling of accomplishment. Or at least, until she flips over the map. His antenna hair flops low. Comical set of tears roll along his eyes, "...This isn't Narshe. Worst. Day. Ever." What catches his attention in the midst of it all beyond the herders is an individual lying away pretty far, near one of those crystals. His attention turns over towards the individual passing through, looking pretty pissed. However, Reize can't help but go. "Oooooooiiiii! Need help?!" However, the presence of the Heartless popping up near the girl draws alarm. The herders shout in fear and start to get their weapons out. "Girl! Get up! Run!" Reize looks at Valencia, "We better help her!" The boy withdraws his boomerangs and he runs over towards her vicinity. It's fighting time. |
| Valencia | Valencia Valencia takes her hands and twirls them as she starts to float, and then skates off at a high speed over towards Leida in an attempt to scoop her up and move her away from the heartless. Skating close to the heartless, she attempts to dig into the ground with her foot and kick up dust and dirt in a sideswipe to blind the heartless and keep them from approaching Leida before going to actually pick her up as she says, "Grab onto me!" attempting to move her away. |
| Angantyr Vespar | Angantyr Vespar Angantyr pauses...heartless. He can't help but sense the increasing darkness, and then the shouting boy and his friend. Angantyr pauses for a brief moment...just a brief one. He owed nothing to th... Leida. He knew that figure, as she was taken from the pedistal. Then there was the other darkness...he grunts...his eyes narrow as he turns slowly. That man owned him money...but...again, what did he owe these people? Nothing, they were morons to get involved.... 'I Trust you to do the right thing.' Angantyr grunts...why did she trust him? Idiots die all the time, he had important things to do. Nobody important was here, they'd die and nobody would care... Except he would know... 'Angantyr, you're not a monster..' Damn it. He was a soft hearted idiot! Angantyr moved, mace in hand as he litterally jumped from a dark portal into one closer to Reize, "YOU IDIOTS! PUT THAT GIRL DOWN NOW! SHE'S DANGEROUS!" he shouts. |
| Stitch | Stitch Stitch is fussing with his big Safari Hat at the moment, attempting to try and get it out of his face. Eventually, though, he just settles for yanking it off his head and throwing it to the ground! His eyes return to their slightly glowing state as he takes in the sights of everything that is happening not far off. It is good to have Super BinocuVision. It allows him the chance to see... "Grrrrrrrrr." Stitch immediately starts to growl the moment that he catches sight of those things that showed up in Hawaii and scared Lilo. Which, if anything, means that they are going to scare the other little girl that's up there too. Which is not good. And the entire reason that Stitch is supposed to be finding Lilo is to remain Good. And if he's going to remain Good he's going to have to do Good Things. Like help. Nothing to be said at the moment, Stitch immediately leaps from his hind legs and drops to all fours, taking off in a brisk run that would look forever epic and awesome in slow motion... if he wasn't still wearing the huge Safari Shirt. Almost immediately, he trips over the sleeves and his knapsack, which causes him to tumble and flail and, well, roll. And roll. And roll. And... well, let's just say he'll be over there a lot faster now. Incoming Stitch Boulder! "WAAAAAAGH!" |
| Leida | Leida The Heartless appear out of the nothingness and the shadows at the beckoning call of the regal looking elven mage, popping into reality with silent menace. The dark creatures immediately turn upon taking form and, one by one, lock their beady yellow eyes onto the small girl lying in a heap on the black rock. Shuffling and clattering in idly curiosity, they mill closer and cluster around the base of the glowing stone as if to make an attempt to corrupt the innocent and oblivious slumbering child. Despite all of the sudden flurry of commotion that accompanies the arrival of Heartless pretty much anywhere, the girl remains blissfully ignorant of the danger that looms just a few paces away. That is, until she is uncermoniously hoisted off the rock. Grunting as her body is shifted and her hair falls away to let the bright sunlight caress her face, the girl stirs in response to all the yelling and slumps like a sack of potatoes in Valencia's arms, still bleary-eyed and half asleep. "Ah... is that you... brother...?" |
| Seith | Seith There's some mental glee within Seith when the 'heroes' immediately spring into action when they spot the heartless. His gaze skips to the blue running creature, that ends up tumbling over and rolls straight towards the heartless threat - while Valencia is quick enough on her feet to try and pull the girl awake. Yet, then Angantyr has to start yelling at 'finishing off the little girl'? One one hand, he wishes him to be quiet. On the other, he just wants to see how alienated this man will get with statements like that to clueless heroes like this. To deepen this one's suffering... loneliness perhaps? Hated by others? He waves his hand once more, and sends the Heartless towards Leida specifically - which means they have to get past Valencia to get to her. He's ordering them, rather than letting them naturally choose. It's easier that way. So, suddenly, Heartless Pile-up on Hero-isle 4! |
| Reize Seatlan | Reize Seatlan Things are going from bad to worse. As the group charges, there is a person manifesting from a dark portal right by him. His eyes widen, taking some steps back from the guy. Who is he? How did he show up out of nowhere? Why?! Is this guy trying to warn him about the girl..? There has been quite a bit going on. However, he cannot abandon a person. "Knight's Vow #1: Always help a person in need! We can't abandon her!" What comes after Reize is a moment of introspection. It is not oftenhat he does this. However, it comes when a warning tries to happen. There is a frown, however, when Reize looks over towards her reactions to them. ...How can someone be unaware of the Heartless? That is also when his pendant, the fragment of the star, begins glowing ominously. The presence of the Heartless has it not only react, but it seems to be reacting harsher. Nevermind that, Reize looks over towards Vespar. "...No matter what, the Heartless are still going to go after the people as well." A smile is given towards the dark knight. It's hard to really trust someone who shows up out of nowhere to warn them about the girl, but... "I need your help." His eyes widen whn the Heartless is piling up towards Valencia, "Oii! Valencia! Behind you!" Reize is taking off like a roadrunner towards her path. As he moves in a flash, his body shifts about to intercept the Heartless. 0/_\ Shining Moon As a couple of Shadows are in front, Reize launches himself off of the ground with a backflip and his leg whipping out to kick them. After the flip kick, Reize then lands on his feet. He moves towards one of the Shadows, getting within close range to sweep his right leg out to strike the creature along the head, then he brings his boomerang up to smack it against its chin, and then he launches his foot out to give it a rapid kick. Then, Reize breaks out his hookshot, whipping it out towards the next Shadow. The tool dislodges from its container, the hook seeking to pierce and then electrocute he creature of Darkness. |
| Angantyr Vespar | Angantyr Vespar Angantyr sighs...god it's one of these. Why did he get involved? ...He doesn't understand the reality of war. The horrible fighting that happens...the death that follows anyone who choses the path that he is on. A knight is not the glorious thing he thinks it is...but... Goddamn it Angantyr. Go away! Leave them...if they survive they will be wiser. They won't run stupidly into danger, they might approach situations better. If...if they survive. Angantyr then fades again... This time appearing right near the closest heartless. The weapon swings, aiming to bat it away like nothing, aiming one hand towards one of the others jumping near the girl with Leida. The darkness grips it, aiming to tear it apart and burn it in dark flame. "You fools! That girl right there CAN CALL THEM! She is a creature of darkness, and a dangerous one! Drop her now lest she destroy your very souls!" Everything screams at him to leave them, but he still comes to their aid. |
| Valencia | Valencia Looking at Leida, Valencia gives a friendly smile and says, "No... I'm Valencia. You were in danger, but you're safe now." as she places the girl down away from where the conflict is happening. She then looks back and says, "Stay here, OK? I don't want you to get hurt." as she speeds off towards the heartless and gestures from side to side as white fire arcs out from the ground over towards the heartless, in a manner similar to the arcing of plasma on a star. |
| Stitch | Stitch Do not try to figure out how or why Stitch is no longer Safari Stitch. Well, if the trail of Safari clothes and torn to shreds knapsack strewn across the Giza Plains is any indication... that's probably why. The Little Monster of Destruction has taken to actually enjoying the bouldering of himself and thus his cries of a flailing nature have turned into maniacal childish glee. "Hahahahahahahahaha! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" To be perfectly honest, it is actually kind of creepy the way the Blue Fluffball seems to be cackling in the midst of turning over and over even faster than he was originally. He has taken to actually controlling his inadvertant rolling into something a bit more stable and focused as he heads in the general direction of these Heartless creatures in an attempt to see if he can't bowl a few over on his way into the Action and Adventure!. "Tukibowaba!" Stitch unfolds himself and takes to the air, a huge smile on his face as he comes soaring towards one of the Heartless creatures with all of his alientastic weight! Which, to be honest, is way heavier than he actually looks like he'd way. Ton of bricks, anyone? The look on Stitch's face at this point is something akin to Psychotic Glee with a hint of Childlike Wonder. |
| Leida | Leida The girl plops down on her knees, legs skewed to each side underneath her. She rubs at the sleep in her eyes weakly with the back of her fists and yawns demurely, her head wobbling back and forth as she fights to keep from falling right back over into unconsciousness. Leida's not a morning person. "Okaaay..." She mumbles softly in reply to the gentle command and smiles at the shadowy figure through her half-closed eyelids. "Leida will stay here... She is a good girl..." The clash of nearby battle does manage to pique her interest, however, she's not in any state to investigate at the moment so she contents herself with humming softly while waiting for her brain to engage. The sound of rusty gears grinding and squealing is almost audible. |
| Seith | Seith Seith really wishes by now, that Angan would shut his mouth. Sadly, he has yet to learn a spell of Silence, so instead he's forced to suffer this man trying to undermine his plans! His annoying! Angan is quickly rising to Seith's list of 'villains to snuff out of existance'. As for Reize? Well, at least he remains the same as always - every since he came to be. The boy he never meant to be, but ended up coming to be what he needed. The shadows are easily kicked away by Reize's feet, followed by the enchanted hookshot there to grab the Heartless - and then /electrocutes it/! The little thing starts going static in its outlines, showing its skeleton... even though Seith is /pretty sure/ that Shadows have no skeletons! The darkness that follows this up, burning darkly and tearing heartless by heartless to pieces - followed by them comedically popping apart into green and yellow bubbles. One might wonder who stocks heartless with munny. Valencia's brighter light then washes away Angan's former darkness, further decimating additional heartless. In fact, that brightness reminds Seith for a moment of his daughter... and her light. He winces momentarily at the memory from his high vantage point, missing it when Stitch flomps into the air and then crashes down on a hapness soldier, exploding it! There's only a few remaining, and they back away a little from the heroes for a moment, before they suddenly storm towards the lot of them, like a collective 'wave' of heartless, trying to outdo the heroes with that single strike! Swinging their claws and little swords, bashing their helmets and generally trying to hit anything they can! |
| Angantyr Vespar | Angantyr Vespar The wave of heartless is something that Angantyr knew was coming...try as he might, to end it quickly...this was inevitable. Taking a breath...he looks right towards Seith. There is a moment of sparks, that line of utter hatred... Then he moves, the Mace aiming to try and break the tide like a boulder in a stream of darkness. Anyone that can manage to get right behind him can easily avoid the flow of darkness... However, The flow is over, the heartless stop...and Angantyr grunts and falls to a knee...it hurt. It hurt a lot...he wasn't sure how many attacks like that he could take...However, he manages to get back on his feet. They wern't listening to him...didn't matter to him. He roars, the darkness exhudes from his form and he lashes out, his blade swinging wildly as he aims to obliterate heartless that even get near him. One swing sends them flying in all directions, as claws of sanguine blood rip from his body to sink into them, draining their essence back into him, while another massive whirlwind of darkness aims to catch everything around him, throwing heartless away like a tornado. Angantyr keeps moving, he focuses only on the darkness surrounding him. |
| Stitch | Stitch "Bliznak." Stitch's eyes go nice and wide as he sees the Heartless coming towards him and the others in a wave of Dark Injustice and Pain. He thinks quite quickly and raises one of his little legs and slams it into the ground beneath him. Incredible strength allows him to create an explosion of rock and dirt and Earth that comes flying up in front of him just as the Heartless Wave of Dark Destruction gets close to him. What doesn't get blocked by the dirt and debris just seems to ping off Stitch's body as if he were more durable than his Cute and Fluffy demeanor lets on. Somehow, in the midst of all this, Stitch manages to catch sight of Angantyr and the movements that are happening over there. Stitch's head tilts again with an impressed expression. "Oooooooh. Stitch fight too!" And Stitch then turns his attention back to the Heartless that Remain. Narrowing his eyes, he seems to become even more of a fluffy freak of nature as his antennae pop out of his head and another set of arms pop free from his body. "Raaaaaaaaawr!" comes from the little fluffball as he roars with dramatic rage. It's actually just too cute to be actual rage. Poor Stitch. At any rate, there's suddenly four Laser Pistols in Stitch's claws. That's right, he's managed to come packing. And those little Laser Pistols probably pack a solid enough punch, because the way Stitch leaps into the fray, turning this way and blasting that way and spinning and swirling and shooting over his shoulders, he looks more like he's from the Wild, Wild, West than wherever he's actually from. Happy exclamations of, "Wahoo!" as he blasts away at the Heartless present, bobbing and weaving in and out of them with incredible quickness, quickly turns into a much more scary and intense, "DIE! DIE! DIE DIE DIE!" Thanks a lot, Angantyr. You have awakened the Weapon. |
| Reize Seatlan | Reize Seatlan This is quite the situation. The person that they are trying to save is supposedly the person who is likely to get them killed, according to the knight. The boy has to contemplate over that. He does look over towards the gir, who is very strangely unaware. The worst part comes as the Heartless start becoming a wave like locusts. Reize brings both of his boomerangs to guard. However... Like a wave of a cloud, they slip by him. As they slip past him, the boy starts to collapse onto his knees. He grits his teeth, sucking onto his breath. The boy appears to be seriously wounded. Blood running along his arms, his body bruised.. However... "...Even with that you said, I can't do of what you ask... However, I thank you for your help.." The boy takes a stand, he looks defiant towards the Heartless. "The danger before us here and now are the Heartless! They are still a danger to the herders here!" His eyes drift towards Angantyr, "You're still a warrior, so I need your mace!" He looks towards Valencia, "And I need your power!" He tightens his fist with his full-borne resolve. "We'll rid of them from getting to the people!" ...There is something about the boy's nature, his energy that seems to resonate towards everyone. It's an infectious optimism. Enough to continue the fight. And then Reize sweatdrops and his ahoge flops as he watches Stitch go to town. "Uhh... |
| Valencia | Valencia The heartless rush towards Vaelencia as she's battered and struck, recoiling with each blow as she tries to dodge out of the way but seems to continually find herself pushed into the next strike. As they surround her, she lets out a small groan of frustration and pain, "Nngh..." before she jumps up into the air and comes smashing down as an explosion of fire erupts from her along with several other secondary explosions, shaking the ground and tossing heartless around. Looking over at Reize as he calls out to her, she nods and says, "Very well, I'll do what I can." with a smile. |
| Leida | Leida The Heartless break upon the arrayed forces of light and justice (and tattle tails), driving into them with powerful blows and daring acrobatics. The soldiers lead the way, plowing through the worst of the counter assault with their armored bodies and using powerful swings to land punishing blows on those who fail to evade properly. The last of the shadows leap and scurry in afterwards, using the distraction to scratch and swing at exposed flanks where they can do the most harm. Angantyr's impressive display of power and rage proves to be impotent as the Heartless effortlessly leap away from his swinging mace and dark maelstrom, using gaps in the defenses to poke at swing at him. Reize, being the heroic leader type person that he is gets the worst of it. Most of the Heartless just crash into him recklessly on their way towards the other people arrayed against them but the shadows linger behind to strike at him again - that is until they get blasted apart by a storm of laser fire. Stitch's gung-ho cowboy assault catches the Heartless off-guard and most of them get annihilated without much chance to evade. Only a lone soldier remains now and he's not going down without a fight! It gives a dark howl of frustration, turning to find an outlet for its emotionless wrath but it never gets the chance. Fire washes over the last shadowy creature and it explodes in a puff of black smoke, leaving naught but residual energy and a few golden coins behind. |
| Seith | Seith The point the heartless burst into pieces, Seith suddenly starts... laughing, loudly, very loudly. He starts clapping his hands together, smirking, looking down upon the group. "Well done! Well done!" Each meeting of his hands rings through the area as if someone put a microphone near him. "Well done Angantyr. You continue to improve." He then says, forcing the heroes attention upon the dark knight. "Wonderful performance as always. You might indeed be suitable to be taken under my wing. Bravo." He finally stops clapping, and then casually glances over the other gathered heroes - clearly not caring about any of them. "And your ability to use the Corridors of Darkness is improving." |
| Reize Seatlan | Reize Seatlan In the midst of it all, Reize looks over towards Seith. His attention has fallen off of Angantyr and to the man. His eyes squint over towards the man. Blink. The pendant starts to glow omniously. In fact, its glow is starting to become rapid as Seith approaches closer. The boy furrows his eyebrows. "Who are you...?" Still beaten, Reize drops onto one knee. "Nggh.." |
| Valencia | Valencia Valencia looks up at Agantyr as she smiles gently and says, "You know, it's not all that benevolent to summon creatures such as heartless to attack a sleeping girl like that." as she slowly walks towards him, zodiacal symbols appearing at her feet, glowing with an unusual power. "See, most people just don't appreciate someone who uses darkness either. Corridors of darkness, heartless summoning, dark blasts... It's all -very- frowned upon, especially by myself." before the circle of zodiacal symbols completes as she says, "As a result, I'll have to receive some guarantee that you won't hurt anyone." before her expression turns tern as she shouts, "GALAXY STOP!" in an attempt to freeze him in place. |
| Stitch | Stitch By this point, Stitch has stopped shooting if only because all of the Heartless are gone. Which is a good thing, right? But he's gotten thimself all worked up by now and he's standing in the middle of gold coins and whatever else comes from dead Heartless, breathing heavy and holding his Laser Pistols with the gripping claws of Bio-Organic Weapondom. There's even the gnashing of teeth and what not. While he may be looking upon the one with clapping and speaking, he's not really understanding whatever is coming out of his mouth. He's more than willing to unleash his alien fury upon more creatures that may be around. Or may be coming around. He's too busy only half-listening and letting his antennae seek out any other Heartless threats that may be within the immediate vicinity. Terrifyingly Cute: Activated. |
| Reize Seatlan | Reize Seatlan Reize quickly turns back to snap with alarm, "VALENCIA! STOP!" |
| Angantyr Vespar | Angantyr Vespar Angantyr looks towards the coming Seith... ...Damn it, he knows where he is going with this. He's not dumb, and of course, it looks bad. He's not exactly a creature of the light. And he's let his light get the better of him. "You vile sack o-" ...Yeah this was coming. He knew it. He turns, but it was too little, too late, he tries to roll away, but even getting caught by the edge of the spell does what it meant to do. He's not moving...or at least not very fast. Worse, he can't defend himself from the man's words. He's speaking waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too slowly. He can't stop what's going to happen next... |
| Seith | Seith Seith just remains standing at the tower, watching the inevitable 'chaos' that forms below. He just chuckles, shaking his head. "I am sure that one such as yourself can get out of this little bind. After all, if you didn't, you would not have been noticed by a man such as Garland himself!" Seith declares, "Yes, a fine Shadow Lord you will make." He decides, nodding his head before a Portal of Darkness is summoned besides himself. "I will see you again soon, sellsword." Seith finally states, before he moves through the portal of darkness, and it closes behind him. |
| Stitch | Stitch Stitch, for all intents and purposes, has done what he's come to do. Not that he intended to kill Heartless. He was more looking for Lilo. And it is only when the action seems to calm does he no longer need his Laser Pistols. And from there, Stitch disappears in the midst of the Plains. Likely scurrying off to gather up his Safari outfit and knapsack and continue on his journey to do the only thing that matters from this point forward... Find Lilo. |
| Leida | Leida In the background the Leida continues to sit where she was left, rocking lightly from side to side on the lush grass. Her head tilts with each swaying motion like a human metronome for the soft tune that she is humming whilest staring off into the distance blankly as if contemplating something deep or insightful. At first the music has no words, just a faint haunting tune that is likely drowned out by the crashing of bodies and monsters in short but fierce combat. But slowly, in broken and fragmented pieces, lyrics begin to spill forth in her faint wispy voice. They build from disjointed jumbles of words until full lines mesh together in an eerie and disturbing tune that seems to cut across the noise of the wind-swept plains despite its whispered intensity. "Deep in the shadows depths there's a place, Where devils and demons' presence does grace... Kingdomgs fall and dreams do wither, The voices call "My child, come hither!" In the dark the girl so bright, Freely gave her life that night.. Slumber deeply, safe from harm, cradled in the Devil's arms..." As the light and dark forces surge about her in their confrontations the clashing energies stir something within. The taste of blood and magic on the wind seduces it from its ancient slumber and a faint light begins to swim in the depths of the girl's empty eyes... |
| Valencia | Valencia As Leida leaks darkness, Valencia's eyes widen before she spins around and mumbles something unpleasant under her breath. She then holds out her hands as she surrounds herself with starlight, which then projects in the form of two balls of starlight over towards Reize and Angantyr, surrounding them in a protective aura. "Look, I'm really sorry..." she says to Angantyr, "I've just had bad experiences with dark knights saying one thing one moment, and acting on the will of darkness the next." |
| Reize Seatlan | Reize Seatlan There is a glance towards Leida, who had been ignored since the time that they pulled her to safety. He furrows his eyes at her, recalling the dark knight's words. The strangest thing was not just her disturbing tune, but it is a story that she tells. Reize does not seem like much. He may seem like a kid who jumps into anything. While that often seems true, there is one thing to take account: Reize was a person who listened to tales. The girl's song had tale of its own, his furrowed gaze locked onto her. "...What tale is that...?" If you think the pendant is reacting before, the girl's darkness is bleeding about causes the pendant to become as bright as a star. There is a frown as he considers her tale and the darkness that manifests from her. "...It's you, isn't it...?" Her tale nearly has him on edge. To make things worse, Reize looks at Angantyr. He is still slowed down, which means Reize is not going to abandon him. There is a sigh of relief as Valencia doesn't act anymore. Reize shifts his stance to join with the two as quick as he can. He looks over towards the herders. "OOIII!! EVERYONE LEAVE!" He looks towards the two, "...I think many of us are in bad condition, we may have to retreat. At least the herders are about to escape." |
| Angantyr Vespar | Angantyr Vespar There is a rumble... Dark energy doesn't GATHER around him...it comes out, he's drawling on some other source. His very existance rumbles the earth...oddly the plant life around him doesn't seem effected. He's not activly killing everything around him. Though he could... The spell holding him starts to shatter. His eyes narrowing...but then Valencia's magic starts to come at him... He closes his eyes. Let it be do-... Then he is isn't obliterated. He blinks, his head breaking free of the magic as he looks oddly at her. The rest of the holding spell is starting to...his sheer power is starting to crumble it. "Too little too late! Flee you fools! This spell won't hold me for long...and she can not devour me." He says, with a dangerous grin. "You are not so safe. GO NOW!" he says, as the darkness rumbles again... |
| Valencia | Valencia Valencia looks at Leida as she starts leaking an amazing amount of darkness. "There's people here!" she calls out, "I'm not letting her consume this place!" as she draws her rapier and holds it up, a double-helix of starlight swirling around it and forming into three orbs on the length of the sword. They suddenly launch into the air and fly out towards Leida as she says, "LEAVE THIS PLACE ALONE!" in a -very- loud shout. |
| Leida | Leida Ever so slowly, Leida ceases her rocking and leans foward to place her hands flat on the ground. She makes as if to get up to her feet but before she can complete the thought twin pits of inky blackness well up from the ground on either side of the girl. Long bone-like arms composed entirely of shadows rise from the holes into nothingness, reaching up for the sky as if grasping out from the depths of the abyss to touch the light. After a moment the demonic limbs lower themselves down and gently laced their wickedly curved claws underneath the girl's body, hoisting her up from the ground and setting her on her feet lightly. Leida doesn't look the least bit puzzled or surprised by this turn of events and merely wanders towards the gathered group with an empty emotionless expression. A sickly aura of dark energy glimmers about her body and the grass hisses and withers under her feet Her head slumps forward and Leida stares at the ground as she walks, ambling casually with a strange mix of grace and disjointed confusion, as if her body weren't entirely under her control even though she knew what she wanted it to do. When she draws close enough to speak, the girl brings her gaze back up and stares at them through hollow purple lights. "Yes... I must listen to him... because... I do not enjoy lonliness..." She glances towards Reize, the one the voice told her to seek out, with his funny hair. "You have friends... many friends...."r Dark claws rear up out of the ground and burst from thin air all around the trio, fencing them in from every direction as the darkness about the girl deepens as if inhaling the light from the very air. "You don't mind sharing... do you...?" |
| Reize Seatlan | Reize Seatlan There is a pause from Reize when Angantyr tells them to flee. Reize lowers his head and frowns, "...Too many people are here." He looks back, seeing that the herders haven't completely fled. "We'll either have to drive her away or buy the people some time to leave." He looks back at the dark knight, "...Will you be able to help us...?" He frowns "...I am sorry that we didn't completely trust you regarding the girl." An when those shadows creep from the holes, Reize's eyes narrow as the demonic limbs draw forth. He lowers is head at the girl, then he offers a faint smile. "...Then I will free you from that loneliness. However, that means getting rid of him." 0It is then that his pendant glows. Those attuned with magic can feel a rocking, that flowing essence is being transferred to the boy. The natural elements of the sky starts basking the boy with a glow. Its form of magic is not like most, for its origins seems to linger from something unknown. But deeper attunement leads to a sight... Of that radiant, brillant pendant. Taking a determined stance, his hand draws to the side, his fingers let loose a lingering energy. The flow of magic becomes greater than before, the pendant gathering the magic around. "...I won't let you do this... Whatever this thing is, then that is my enemy." Perhaps that demon is like some symbiote. The demon that would become her friend. As sad as it is to take away a friend, it is something.... "It does not belong!" As the boy rose his hand to the sky, the tarot that formed becomes as bright as the radiant sky. It spins around before it bursts into sparks, and then it becomes as bright as a star. "Flickering flame, burn! FIREBALL!" Three roaring flames erupt around the boy, spiralling around him befor they converge. Soon, those flames are launched towards the girl, seeking to erupt and explode around her form. |
| Reize Seatlan | Reize Seatlan ...Instead of the flames firing off towards Leida, the pendant under normal circumstances would normally let things go through. However, there is something that violates the pendant' nature. And that is when suddenly... The pendant glows brighter. The flames extinguish themselves. Reize's eyes widen in shock. "Wh---...wh----what?!" |
| Angantyr Vespar | Angantyr Vespar Angantyr would facepalm... If he wasn't still breaking out of TIME ITSELF. The ground shakes again as he draws more upon that power...he's almost free. Just a little bit more. These people are going to /die/ if he doesn't do something soon...well okay, they MIGHT live. If being a husk is living. I mean, they'd be better than tax collectors. And Lawyers. There is another HOWL from him as the spell breaks...but something else happens. The darkness from inside his body swirls around him. It connects to his armor, slides between the chains...and solidifies into a single armor. It is more traditional armor...but at the same time...whispy. Dark...looking into it is like staring into the abyss. The darkness continues to whisp off of his armor, as it finally solidifies over his face, locking into a full helmet. Behind the eyeslits is just a glow. A dark red glow as he snaps his head up to look right at Leida. The mace is back in hand, also exhuding darkness as he starts stepping forward. "Fools. There is no escape now...I could have taken her own my own...lets hope you can survive her onslaught." |
| Leida | Leida Leida shifts her gaze to Reize, tilting her head to the side very slowly like an owl regarding something curious skittering about on a forest floor. "But why...?" The magical orbs of Valencia's sword magic slam into her chest, one after the other, and she staggers as the light eats away at the shroud of demonic blackness that crawls about flesh and clothing like a second skin. A shrill hissing filled with pain echoes from everywhere and nowhere all at once but the damage is quickly repaired as fresh shadows rise up to take their place. The small girl recovers and turns her soulless eyes back on the adventurer. "Is it wrong to gaze into the darkness...?" His pendant glows and foreign magic assails Leida but something fundamental goes wrong. Deep in her madness, in her existence of shadow and pain, something pure still remains of the girl who only ever sought companionship. That echo of the past interferes and the flames die out before they are brought to bear. The creature senses this and lashes out in retaliation, slashing at Valenica with venomous talons. Pits of darkness rip open beneath Reize and Angantyr as well, rising up to tear at them from the ground and infuse their bodies with darkness they can't control before an even larger surge threatens to rise up and engulf them. |
| Valencia | Valencia The talons just barely shred Valencia's jacket and cut into her legs a bit as she twists out of the way just in time. Looking up at Leida, memories of Gina's corruption and her state as a heartless come to her, including Gina's last request for help. "I'm sorry." she says, "I wish I could do more, but you're too fargone." as she gestures from side to side as white fire arcs from the ground up towards her. "This will hurt, but maybe... Maybe you'll find peace later." she says. |
| Reize Seatlan | Reize Seatlan How did... His pendant had never did anything like this before! And yet, a voice rings out to his head. He furrows her wishes. "Was this her wish...?" The Pit of darkness rips open beneath Reize, the boy's eyes widen as he darker surge lies underneath. The darkness tears at him from the ground. He starts trying to climb out. The darkness surges against him, rippling against him. Reize has to climb out. .. He has to escape it's maw. |
| Angantyr Vespar | Angantyr Vespar The darkness opens up, it strikes at Angantyr...aiming to swallow him completely, but something happens. The maws bites down, she can feel it hit, she can feel him sink into his darkness... And then it SHATTERS. Darkness spreads, as he steps out...and he runs right at her. Aiming to break the distance between the two before he comes right to her. Last time he grew a demonic claw, draining her...but this time... The mace is just a wall of darkness, he swings, weilding it like a massive weapon, the weapon itself changes randomly, as he slashes, it becomes a sword, as he bashes down at her, it is the mace... But then at other times it is like a scythe, cutting into her trying to cut pieces of her away... "I WILL SHATTER YOUR SOUL!" he shouts...aiming to put the little girl out of her misery. It is the only kindness he can see. as the shadow weapon...aims to plunge right into her body, litterally trying to annihilate her form. |
| Valencia | Valencia As Angantyr strikes out at Leida, Valencia dashes towards her, skimming the ground before holding up her palm as a flash of white light flares out from it and flies up to Leida's eyes. Slowly hovering up to that point, she then looks at her and curls up before her eyes seem to turn to white fire. "All things come to an end..." she says, "Stars, planets, me... And you." before she calls out, "SEE THE END OF GALAXIES!" as she -explodes- into a massive ball of white fire and a ring of fire flies out from her towards Leida before Valencia floats down and starts panting, apparently quite tired from that display of force. |
| Leida | Leida The focused assault is far beyond the capability of the demon to withstand in its restrained form. Filtered through the lens of its host's madness, it cannot truly reach out and shape the darkness to its whims. The shadows rise up, creating a barrier like rippling black water before the girl and the massive weapon crashes into it with a resounding explosion of conflicting energies. The demon fights back with all the might it can muster but it quickly feels itself losing the battle and shrieks its frustration at the knight. Leida takes a step backwards, propelled by a mingling of physical force and the hint of fear that trickles through her mind into the creature that compells her body. Angantyr's final push batters down the paper-thin wall and cleaves into the small body with incredible force. But the girl doesn't fall or cry out. Her body doubles over from the force of the strike, black ichor shooting out of her nose and mouth in a torrent onto the grass where it hisses and crackles like acid. Leida reaches down to the weapon still embedded in her dented armor and uses it for support, trying to push herself upright to look around but the wave of white fire does the final trick. Magic erupts into her body, blasting the girl away in a ballistic arc. She tumbles into the ground and ragdolls for several feet, finally coming to a halt when her back slams into the towering black obelisk of glowing sunstone wher she lies still. |
| Angantyr Vespar | Angantyr Vespar Angantyr walks slowly towards the body of the fallen Leida...the attack was not enough to kill her... But she is battered and beaten enough that he does have a chance. His faceplate does not give away his emotion, because it is not necissarily a nice thing he is going to do. Well, not to those who stand in the light. They would scream to save her, that there is a way to...because those who do always think there is a way. The dark knight's form is clothed by that of the dark armor, abyssal like plates folding over the body, while it exhudes darkness. The faceplate lets out a crimson glow as... Then Katyna stands between him and the weakened girl. Grunting, he takes the mace infront of him. "That girl, is a mad dog. She is a threat to everything, not just the lands of light warrior. You know that as well as I do...she is, if anything, an ultima spell. She will not chose her targets...anything she deams weaker than herself is a threat." "Besides, you can blame Seith for leaving her here alone. His rivalry with my master lead me to have to defend myself in this way." |
| Valencia | Valencia Floating over to Angantyr, Valencia shakes her head and says, "I don't get it. How could someone as young as her become that infused with darkness?.. What happened to her?" |
| Katyna | Katyna Ember's eyes narrow upon Vespar. Hmm, she's sure she's fought this one before..Didn't he try to stop her from stealing that darned Dalmation? "Heh. Sorry to disappoint, but I cant let you have her.." She glances sidelong at Leida. No, she doesn't know this one too well, but she has heard of her. Some sort of loose cannon, eh? Glancing back at Vespar, she smirks and shakes her head. "Loose cannon she may be, but she is still of use to us. Now back off if y'know what's good for you! An' you too!" A nod towards Valencia, although she hesitates at Vespar's words. Hmm, so Seith abandonned one of his own, eh? What a flake..But there must have been a good reason right? Perhaps he was merely testing Leida's capabilities and limits. Yes, that must be it. But now..No, she cant just let her die here! When Valencia floats towards her, Ember points her sword towards the girl, "That's none of your business!" Actually..She knows very little of this girl, other than she's a Shadow Lord, but she's rather curious about her herself! Her sword flashes brilliantly now, readying a spell as she advances towards the two of them. Hopefully she'll at least buy Leida time to recollect herself. |
| Valencia | Valencia Valencia flinches and turns as the fire scorches out towards her. Looking at Ember, she speeds up towards her and draws her rapier, striking at Ember's torso rapidly with sword and spell as she says, "You helped capture Avira. I'm sorry, but you've proven beyond a shadow of a doubt your intent and nature." |
| Angantyr Vespar | Angantyr Vespar "That was a mistake." the armored form says. He may have to refocus to keep the armor from fading from his body soon, but he should have more than enough time for the moment. "The darkness cares little of age...do you think the worlds swallowed up just spit out children in other worlds because they are children? No...look at the dark truth of the universe...the Heartless consume all." he says...and then the sword comes down, it burns his body, but he instead of retreating from the light...brings his mace down in a massive overhead slash aiming to brain Katyna should she not be fast enough... "You are a fool...you should have retreated through darkness. Now..." he says, and grins, the monsterous contance still fueling his body. The blade moves, once more swinging the darkness around, the first aiming to wrap around her body, before exploding into burning flames, not normal flames, but cold dark things that only make it hard to resit the darkness... Then Valencia speaks... "YOU WHAT?!" The darkness EXPLODES FROM HIM...uh oh...looks like someone knows Avira. "No wonder that pathedic escuse of a dark knight was successful. He...had...HELP!" he booms. The shadows burn into his weapon, before he swings it down in a massive arch, darkness trailing behind the weapon, before he swings down at her legs brutally, aiming to try and brutally crush them with his strikes. |
| Leida | Leida Unfortunately, Leida is a veritable mess at the moment. Slumped up against the massive sunstone magicite formation, the only thing keeping her upright is the rock itself. Dark inky blood flows from her nose and mouth staining her face black like some horrible attempt at goth makeup gone wrong. More ichor leaks from the cracks in her armor and runs freely into the dirt, a steadily expanding pool of hissing wilted grass ash forming underneath her body. A faint purple light infuses the vile liquid, tiny motes of sickly evil energy shimmering throughout and giving it the appearance of an oil slick reflecting the sunlight in a myriad of colors that strike the eyes in painful ways. Her body is ragged and twisted in unpleasant looking ways, one arm bent completely the wrong direction as a result of her magic-propelled pinwheeling across the plains. Despite all of this however, the girl does not look particularly distressed. She takes slow deliberate breaths, eyes closed and simply lies still, her conscious mind devoid of connection to reality. The demon works it ancient magics with practiced ease, now that its host can no longer interfere, but without a body to puppet its talents are focused on mending the damaged vessel. Wispy shadows rise up from the black puddle of vital fluids and flow back into Leida's body, the grevious injuries slowly healing right before the eyes of anyone watching. It is a painstakingly sluggish process and will obviously take some time to complete during which the small girl appears to be completely vulnerable. |
| LEXUS | LEXUS There are no computers on the Giza Plains. This is a land bereft of technology... At least, technology in the form that one being prefers. This does not, however, prevent a presence. Through the savannah grass, a slim figure moves. The form is sleek, six-limbed, each leg tipped with chrome plating that speaks of an advanced design and ending in n infinitely sharp point. The body beneath is the form of a dark Heartless, veined with pulsing violet ciruit patterns that rise along the limbs towards the burning, yellow-eyed head. Chrome mandibles jut from the darkness beneath, and the Heartless Emblen is emblazoned on their forehead, pulsing with the power of the Dark. It makes no noise in the soft earth, but it watches with yellow eyes at the scene unfolding before it... For the Master. |
| Katyna | Katyna Ember's eyes darken upon the dark knight, finding his dark powers especially curious. "Heh, you should talk. You fight the heartless and their all consuming darkness, and yet your own darkness may one day consume yourself." She smirks as he comes at her with his exploding darkness, backing away, bringing up her sword to defend his attack. As expected however, he is as strong as the last time. "You really are on the wrong side of the tracks. With power like that, you would serve the Heartless better!" She clicks her tongue, shaking her head, "Really, what a waste!" Ember charges towards Vespar, even as she is stunned and flaming a bit from his attack. Still, she will not back down so easily. "Alright, this'll be fun!" and she rushes at him again with a series of well placed sword slashes, each unleashing a flash of brilliant blue white light, before attempting to stab him with dark flame, to drain energy out of him. |
| Angantyr Vespar | Angantyr Vespar Ember moves, but so does Angantyr. His mace swings as she tries to get close to him, but she manages to stay clear of the talon like claws on the spiked mace, easily able to tear flesh and armor apart by just glacing. Her blades continue to punch into his armor, drawing bits of darkness from each strike. Blood can be seen flowing freely where she strikes, causing him to stagger...he's starting to get weaker, but he's not out yet. His voice is modulated, the darkness obscuring it as he turns towards her...and then the darkness /explodes/ once more around him. Energy flowing and reenforcing his body once more. His visor once more glowing blood red. Hopefully, the other idiot runs...but he's going to need to buy her time. "I do not let the darkness control me. I have been taught to control /it/. I do not serve the heartless, I don't even command them...but I know all about them. YOu don't serve them...THEY SERVE YOU! To serve them is to be consumed..." he says, but for now he does not attack...but she knows it's coming. "I was born with this power, I have known darkness sense I was but a baby. There is nothing that you can say that hasn't already been whispered into my ear." |
| Katyna | Katyna Ember smirks. "You may be right, the darkness can easily control one of a weak soul..But I will never let them control me! I will become strong because of them, and..And I'll never lose those I hold dear, because of this newfound strength. You on the other hand.. She continues to move around him, darkness flowing from her own sword, taking the shape of dancing flames upon its blade. Seems, Ember is sizing him up, quietly marvelling at his control over the darkness. "Hmm, born of this power, eh? How interesting. You are a very intriguing person, I must know more!" Still, she's too busy upping her own defenses at the moment. Perhaps when she defeats him, she'll bring him back as a prisoner, a gift to her mentor! As Vespar focuses on his defenses, so does Ember, surrounding herself in darkness and flame, her armour glowing and flaring up momentarily. |
| Angantyr Vespar | Angantyr Vespar "Hahahahaha..." Angantyr laughs... "AHAHAHAHAHA! Never lose anything? Oh man..." he laughs loud and hard...mocking her words. "You lose something the more you draw upon darkness. Everyone does. EVERY. ONE. You are no different. You are no special snowflake...you are but a fool deluded herself into thinking that the rules of the universe can change for you." he continues. "I have lost much...or maybe I lost everything when I was born. However, let it be known who's apprentance I am." The mace disappears, before he moves right into melee range with Ember, his hand now a monsterous claw as he drives it upwards, aiming to grab her in it's embrace. The claw, if it hits, sheers through anything, drawling blood that flows into the dark knight's own arm...but the blood that does not...and his own? That forms into a sea of red all around them. A army of claws tear out from the sea of red, aiming to shred the young warrior of darkness apart, before the claw that has grabbed her grips down, aiming to try and crush her small body before throwing her down in a burtal display of power. "Garland." |
| LEXUS | LEXUS There is a modulated tone from the Daemon Heartless as it transmits the occurences unfolding before it. There is an eruption of darkness as a Corridor of Darkness opens, a wireframe form rezzing into existence between Angantyr and 'Ember'. A force pushes Ember out of the way, Angantyr's dark assault grabbing up someone entirely different than he might have expected. The rampant, annihilating strike shears through the form, crushing and rending through it in a burst of Darkness. When it ends, Angantyr sees the mauled form of LEXUS, bleeding streams of light and dissipating pixels. The burning violet eyes flash with red inlay at the critical damage dealt to the construct-form he holds. But he still functions. "As a student of Garland, you should have a more /clear/ understanding of where and when to use your power." LEXUS hisses. He looks over his shoulder. "Ember, take the girl and escape to safety, quickly!" He turns his eyes back upon Angantyr. "You could no doubt destroy this armature if you wish to, Dark Knight. But you have already proven your point to them. Let them go. There is no need for further... unpleasantness." |
| Katyna | Katyna Ember doesn't seem at all phased by Vespar's cocky laughter. In fact she seems quite amused. "Ooh, confident, aren't we? How...Exciting!" She welcomes his lethal attack with a dark smile, blood red cloak flowing dramatically around her. When he mentions his mentor, Garland, she chuckles all the more. "Ahh, this gets more exciting by the minute! I can't wait to see how my skills measure up against the protege of this mysterious Garland!" Hmm, she'll definitely have to meet him! And then, suddenly someone else rushes in and takes the damage for the attack, pushing her out of the way. "Wah?!" to say she is disappointed is an understatement. "Ooh, y'know, I could have handled that myself!" Still, there is the issue of the wounded girl. She chances one more deadly glance back at Vesper, then nods reluctantly to Lexus before scooping up Leida. Hmm, she needs to learn more about this mysterious 'Garland'.. |
| Leida | Leida The shadows around the fallen child stir at the approach of the dark knight, roiling up and over themselves in a thick mist that swirls protectively about her. However, upon seeing that this new figure radiates no malice in their aura or posture, the shadows settle down again and seep into the cracks and fissures all about Leida's body. Knowing well that its touch is anathema to all life, even that which has grasped its own darkness and learned to harness it, the demon withdraws deep inside and settles into the nooks and crannies of her soul. The healing process will be slower like this, much slower, but it will continue and she will not succumb to the injuries. The tainted amethyst nimbus about the girl fades away just as Katyna's arms reach out to take her from the rocks. |
| Angantyr Vespar | Angantyr Vespar Angantyr pauses as the attack hits... Oh man, not Lexus. Lexus is cool. However, the program is...very tough, and he's actually glad for that. There is a pause... "I was defending myself, actually." he says, calmly. The mace does not go away...incase they feel froggy, but it does lower out of a sign of respect for LEXUS. Infact, it even hits the ground, with his hand still on the handle. "This one, decided to attack instead of taking the thing and running..." he does not mention Avira for now, "And has supported the weak link that is Kaydin." he spits. "Before that Seith decided he was going to lure people into a trap...especially sense THAT thing should not be here." he says, indicating Leida. "And then tried to get some heros to kill me...I guess because of his rivalry.." the word rivalry is said like it's cute, "with my master. I think used my power approprately. I can't say that for your allies here...LEXUS." he comments. "I have places to be and I am not getting paid for this. Seith is the only reason I got involved...*GOOSHONK*er owes me money." He pauses...why is there a goose here. He wonders, looking nearby to the flock that just appeared. Seriously... |
| LEXUS | LEXUS LEXUS sees Ember do the sensible thing. Good. She knows when to cut and run. Later on he will have to inform her about what to watch for. A loyal Shadow Lord is a terrible thing to waste, after all, and she has so much... /potential/. LEXUS begins to... recoalesce as his internal systems work to rebuild the damage dealt to him. Darkness does not discriminate in what it consumes. "Everyone makes mistakes. This is just another reason why we need to finish establishing our information network, so we can /stop/ this interncine conflict." He looks back over at the retreating Leida, and arches an eyebrow. "Oh, I don't know, she could be quite useful if properly directed. Everything has a reason to exist. The challenge is to /find/ that reason an exploit it to your needs." The Dark Program remains passive. "You did the best you could in the situation, I suppose... But I know your temper well enough from observation as well. You would not have held back. It is to your credit. But beware your... attatchments. Sometimes they will harm you. And did that man still not pay you? That's just unprofessional." |
| Angantyr Vespar | Angantyr Vespar Angantyr grunts... "Still, I think it's best if that...thing is destroyed. Darkness does not stop at just eating the light. It will become a danger to you as well, best to destroy it now, and be rid of it than have it come walking back to you after there aren't any more enemies to devour...and it strong off their hearts." he says, warning the dark...BROGRAM. Sighing, the armor of the Dark Knight fades, bursting him off him in a whisp of darkness, leaving his normal attire, with a few holes for him to remember this incident. "I will take your consul under advisement, LEXUS. However...who is her mentor anyway?" he is curious...that was...annoying. "And yeah, Seith is anything BUT professional..." |
| Katyna | Katyna Ember summons a portal to step through. Yes, she should follow orders, but..Dammit, why'd he have to interfere? She had this one covered for sure! Still..It was more important to take care of their own first, no? She pauses, listenning to their conversation. More about this Seith character, rival to Vespar's mentor eh? How..intriguing.. Still, he seemed to have no honor if he'd abandon one of his own...Why? She'd have to find out some time soon. Then Vespar speaks of destroying Leida, and she frowns, turning around to face him. "You leave her alone! She has a right to live, too!" At least..She was useful to the heartless. And..Ember could sense the power this one possessed. She is curious to see her in action. |
| LEXUS | LEXUS "Analysis will take your consideration into advisement." LEXUS responds. He looks back over at Katyna as she pauses in the distance and makes her declaration. "There are no rights. There is only power. If you have the power to survive those who will destroy you, you have the 'right' to live. If you are too weak yourself, you band with others who can support you. This is survival." He looks back to Angantyr after delivering the first lesson. "I understand she is dangerous. But it is only dangerous to those who do not understand her nature. IF one does not stay their hand, striking when she is not exhibiting her power, they have the advantage. The power she has lies in her ability to dissimulate. She is.... very effective." He folds his hands over a gem-topped rod which he leans upon. "I... am not sure who their mentor is. I will have to research this. I am personally simply loath to waste potential resources. Call it a failing." |
| Katyna | Katyna Ember blinks and nods. "R-right. Of course." Yes, that's what her mentor always taught her. That's why he had spared her. Because she was strong. She had potential to be a Shadow Lord..If she could keep her compassion in check. And stop making friends with everyone. Easy task..Right? |
| Angantyr Vespar | Angantyr Vespar This makes the dark knight sigh. "Fine. Whatever. However, if that one comes at me to try and collect me." he points at Katyna. "I can't promise you she'll return to you in one piece." he says, with a grunt, and places the weapon away. "For now, I have a job to continue. And let Seith know I am coming for him...so either he can pay up, or hide." Then he starts walking off, because this is getting stupid. |
