Titanomachy- The World of Vann'anu

[MelonHead]

The plateau of earth crumbled away most conveniently for the beast as he let his hammer fly. The divine weapon was batted away as if by magic, the glowing nimbus and pure force behind the throw apparently having no effect on the creature’s stance. Judgement looked on impassively as the Void and the Systrex stone fell downwards into the abyss formed from the massive crater left by the metal ball.

He was somewhat limited in what he could do, lacking the ability to fly, so he simply awaited his hammer’s return atop the sliver of earth remaining and continued to charge the powerful golden shield surrounding his body, as he knelt piously. His god granted strength to him selflessly, and after a moment or so of patient meditation Judgement stood and raised his hand high, the hammer appearing once more in his grasp.

He took one look over the edge, and decided against jumping down. The creature could seize the stone if it wished, there was no way it could escape the massive crater without facing him, and he was more than willing to wait.

The Void continued to plummet along with it's temporary platform, soon to collide with natural bridge of stone. The rock way and platform both shattering into pieces, sending the Voor tumbling away into the depths bellow. Soon the scenery changed into a desolate version of the world above, at least as far as the Void could discern, as it fall past a tower. One of the larger stones smashed into the huge structure, causing it to shake violently, The Void wasted no time in sending out four of it's resilient appendage's in an attempt to latch onto the building, the pincers piercing through the concrete and motor. Using it's hold as leverage to swing toward the superstructure. It soared toward the leaning roof of a neighboring building, tumbling end over end, only it's harden chitin saving it from heavy bruising and cuts. It's momentum carrying it to collide with the roofs waist high stone railing, crashing through it to then fall once more, though slower then previously.

At last it dropped headlong into what appeared to be a massive pool of water, quickly sinking under it's filthy murky depths. It was several moments later before the Void emerged once more, bursting from the water as several of it's tentacles groped for something to cling to hang onto. Finally it grabbed hold of the twisted steel of what was once a beam used to support a building. Pulling it self to the half submerged and wrecked building remains. Pulling itself out of the water it finally tasted stable ground beneath it's feet once more. The Void did not know it, but it had fallen into the midst of Vann’anu's many buried and underground cities. Most of the buildings here were submerged partially, a few rays of light shinning down from the fissures made by the giant ball that had hit the city above.

The Void decided to take stock of it's condition, both perplexed and angered by the turn of events, concrete and masonry still raining down around him. The Stone for the moment was lost, likely buried beneath the grimy waters that filled the majority of the underground cavern. Shaking water from it's hide it took the time to decide on the next course of action. First and foremost, the stone needed to be found, then a way out would shortly follow. Flexing it's massive shoulders, it inhaled sharply, it's weight and size increasing. An idea forming in it's mind.

The abomination of Vur'chul would not give up so easily.

INSANE RAMBLINGS AND BRIGHTSTARS

Hau’sha’sur stared at the diminutive titan a moment as the words washed over him. Titling his head he spoke slowly, his voice resonating clearly, “They had warned me that your curse drove you mad. Clearly the yapping dog snarls and snaps at shadows in the corner. I have no idea what you speak of. Explosions? Planets? Orcs? Clearly you are cursed with the taint as well as the idiocy that plagues your father and brothers. Before you speak littlest of a litter of crippled and foolish curs, your idle threats are like the blood that runs through you, weak and pathetic. “

Drawing power from the star that granted light to this planet, Hau’sha’sur refocused his attention towards the witch whose powers were both strange and wholly unique. The burning of ozone filled the area as the being of light pulsated and thrummed amplifying the strobe effect around him with nearly 50 million candlepower as the light radiated from his body while the store of potential energy increased within him. The lighting swirled and raced around his clawed hands and forearms as well around his legs.

His senses picked up the fight taking place on the other side of the planet, the two behemoths, the Systrex stone was free, his companion had dropped it somehow. Hau’sha’sur debated leaving Alex to the mercy of the witch and helping recover the stone. No, Void was a competent creature and he was not over matched, at least he hoped he wasn’t.

Refocusing on the three below and before him, he contemplated the moves of the witch, she was deadly, with a subtly that would be the end of them all of if she were allowed to survive. However he stayed his hand, hoping that Alex could somehow prove his worth as an ally to the mighty titans. The Titans had sent Hau'sha'sur here for one thing, to make sure that the Systrex Stone be recovered by them, and that required that he ensure their allies were not to betray them at the 11th hour.

With the stone close to being possessed by the Titans, should the Void succeed, then he would leave both Alex and Dor Khashgur without the powerful artifact as they busied themselves with the witch.

The sky began to appear before him as he sat atop his rocky platform, dust blown clear by the destruction leaving only acrid smoke from the fires which soon drifted upwards. Still Judgement knelt, now with his hammer stood in front of him with both his hands clutching it. Glowing godly energy surrounded his body as he prepared for mortal combat, continuing to pray to his lord and letting him know that magical aid would be required. As he rested, Judgement allowed his mind to wander across the battlefield and the lord showed him the predicament his ‘ally’ found herself in. Though she was quite obviously capable, her show of strength had drawn titan slaves to her like moths to the flame. She could quite easily be overwhelmed, even if she did best the enemy she fought at that very moment. It was a worrying state of affairs, for even if his god did not think kindly of sharing the Systrex stone with those of an evil nature, she was still all he apparently had for aid against the titan’s army.

Still, Judgement was not afraid.

Finally concluding that the creature below him was hapless in its attempts to seize the stone, he prepared to use the stored energy to devastating effect. It clutched to the building far below him as with a sudden shift of his weight he stood and slammed his now glowing hammer downwards after throwing it overhead with a forceful expulsion of holy energy capable of crushing buildings and cities.

But before his hammer collided with the ground… he shifted in position and disappeared from the rocky plateau.

He appeared right behind the Void far below, his hammer already descended and mere milliseconds from colliding with its skull and spine with an attack which claimed forcefulness unparalleled, even to many gods. The energy surrounding him was enough to burn any hapless tentacles to dust, and would do so should any quickly move to engage him. Should his attack land, his strength would have ensured massive physical damage only bolstered by his powerful shield which doubled as an offensive weapon in destroying defences. After he had crushed the pitiful creature, or it had made another lucky escape, he would drop onto the building as it shattered from the force of his attack. He could then search for the Systrex stone at the bottom of the murky water, or engage the void in combat once more on the now broken building.

With such a drive to go downwards towards his very birthplace, it was doubtful he would reserve much energy to allow himself any time to maneuver to the side afterwards. Just what Al-Fari wanted. The Nihilith Witch retracted her barbed whip towards herself, but readied just as quickly to be thrown outwards again. She waited till Alex had come just feet from her back before she activated Not Within this World, another 8-Anathema rune, allowing her to instantly become intangible. Alex would not have see anything save for another glow of one her arm's symbols, and her opacity did not change. As far as Alex could see, nothing changed. Nevertheless, when he finally reached impacting distance, he was instead met with more air, and slipped straight through Al-Fari without any delay.

As Alex's downward momentum carried him forward, she let loose her readied whip to encircle the demon boy, mere inches from stabbing him with every thorn along its length. Deactivating Not Within this World, the whip too came back into true being, and was positioned to ensnare Alex within a split second. Given his downward fall, she though it impossible for him to suddenly divert his direction to a perfect sideways trajectory. He would undoubtedly become entrapped by her whip.

Despite his attempt to dispel the Nihilith airborne clouds, they would not stay away forever with Al-Fari present. Just as soon as the previous fog bank was blown away, the white mist had already begun to seep into existence around them, and the screaming of unknown beasts pervaded the atmosphere once again. The sound of large wings beating boomed in the sky, and another scream preceded the appearance of faint winged beasts encircling the two higher beings. Glowing red eyes followed Alex as they fell through the sky, and they too like the grounded invisible beasts before, unleashed a blinding flash in the sky to burn Alex as the effects of light were clearly devstating to the hell-borne entity as Al-Fari predicted.

The Void stood among the ruins of the decoyed old skeleton of a building it had climbed into moments ago. It's body mass having increased considerably having enlarged itself in the time it had fallen to landing among the ruins of the once buried city. The creatures senses passively locked onto the scent of the God's champion, faint but ever present high above. A few ray's of light shun down from the chasms formed from the metal ball that had hit the city moments earlier. Masonry and stones still raining down from above to impact into building's and create large ripples as they fell into the large underwater lake. It had shaken most of the water from it's tough chitin hid, it's many maws of teeth napping and licking away what remained. The stench of steadily increasing power had not gone unnoticed by Val'Kal, it scent subtle vibrations through the very air which stimulated the sensitive tendrils all along it's back. Suddenly the warrior seemed to vanish, sending ripples of alarm and energy through the air. Immediately Val'Kal was in alert ready for whatever trickery this god champion would attempt, breaching itself on all fours.

With the subtly of a nuclear explosion, ripples of the champions energy poured back into this realm once more. The Light Taker was aware of his opponents new location almost instantly, efficiently faster then one who relayed only on sight alone. The crackle of displaced air and the bellow of metal moving across metal was the Void's only warning, and revealed without any doubt the God's champion had reappeared behind him once more. The favored location for attack it seemed for this one. Of course there was no such thing as a flanking attack on a Voor. With no room to maneuver effectively, it simply responded with the instinctual defense of any cornered best armed with biological weapons. A dozen maws all along it's back shot open just as Judgment appeared, a slight gurgle the only warning one might hear before they launched toxins and pyro-acids in a massive electro-chemical shock, all born of the toxin sacs within it's body. The inhaled air was forced out in what might seem like the bio equivalent of a water jet cutter. The Toxic cocktail fired like water guns from each mouth blasted forward as suspended abrasive particles in a high pressure stream would collide with the falling figure. The impact, if it hit as it would undoubtedly given the point blank nature of the shot, would cause the chemicals to smashed into the shield suspended around Judgment's form.

The near 6400 pounds per square inch of liquid pressure fueled by the compressed air in it's four massive lungs would send the falling warrior weighing in at only 250kg flying away at incredible speed. The intel impact of the toxic and corrosive compounds would likely have little effect alone faced with the warriors shield, which would have otherwise undoubtedly melted through his natural armor, hammer and all, yet no doubt colliding and smashing through numerous buildings at such high speeds would cause significant harm. The recoil on the Void alone was considerable, sending it barreling away in the opposite direction, tearing free the stone work it's claws had clutched to and iron beams it's tentacles had been holding onto. The Champion himself having not been on the ground at all for any leverage would have few possible ways resist the intense blast at such close range.

Well this has ended horribly due to constant bickering and lack of participation by some of the more boisterous. Last person to hold the stone has won it for their side.
