Terra Branford - Hyrule Castle Town
The flames seemed to have no effect on the zombie creature as it lunged at the girl and latched itself to her back. The strange noises it was making seemed to suggest that it was feeding which seemed to be further proved as the girl dropped her weapon her eyes starting to flutter as if she was getting close to passing out.
Knowing that her flames had no effect on the creature and that the girl was too close to it to risk another fire spell Terra did the only thing that came to mind. She screamed.
"HEY!" She wasn't sure what she'd expected to happen from that one act but it was not this. The creature detached itself from its prey as it became aware of Terra. It fixed its gaze upon her and opened its mouth. From the depths of its being came a primal terror inducing screech. In that moment everything that Terra had ever feared came raging to the surface of her mind in an endless loop leaving her frozen in place, frozen with terror.
The creature started to stalk towards her growing ever closer, almost close enough to touch her. In that moment the power of its screech dissipated leaving Terra about to think. In a desperate bid to stop it from doing to her what it had to the other girl Terra fixed the creature straight in the eye and shouted one word
"Break!" Transfixed by her gaze the creature froze in place. Terra concentrated all her will power on maintaining eye contact with the creature, on ceasing its movement. She started to back away slowly into an adjoining alley way. Without looking away for moment or breaking her concentration Terra shouted.
"Get over here. It's not fast we can outrun it." As the girl began to move Terra slowly backed even further from the creature keeping eye contact as long as possible. When she felt any more distance would destroy the spell anyways Terra shouted
"Run! and turned away from it to flee down the street. They came to a stop breathing hard almost three blocks away. Hopefully the creature had lost interest by that point.
@Kafka Komedy, do forgive me for moving your character. I wished to write in the next plot movement without having to wait for a response which I figured would look something like "Red grabbed her sword and followed Terra down the alley". If you wanted this scene to go a different way or I've done something wrong tell me and I'll rewrite it.Hildibrand Manderville - Hyrule Fields
Without a horse Hildibrand was forced to follow his compatriots on foot. As they exited the ranch he could hear in the distance the sound of a rooster crowing, signifying the coming day. Immediately his skeletal friends who'd been clamoring to get closer to him disappeared into the ground. It was a real shame he thought. They were always most helpful to him.
Hildibrand lacked the speed to content with Gaige and Scout's mounts so as he was reaching the dispute that had cropped up between his comrades and another group who'd seemingly mistook their pursuit of Terra to possess malicious intent Gaige had already settled the matter. It seemed these two new comers had decided to accompany them on their quest and so Hildibrand decided to hand over his Matiek Transceiver for this Guardian to scan before they all started moving towards the castle.
Before they could reach their destination however something terrible began to happen. The ground started to shake. So violent was the tremor that Hildirbrand only barely managed to remain on his feet. But it was not merely the earth that had begun to move. Over their heads the sky was in complete disarray. Bolts of lightning ripped through the heavens seeming to tear it apart. Some hit the ground with unmeasurable force leaving scorch marks in their wake. Storm clouds and sunny skies seemed to battle each other making the heavens appear a giant war zone. That was not the extent of the chaos. Hildibrand himself began to vibrate. As he looked down at his hands the shaking became so intense that he seemed to be able to see two of himself crossing back and forth before in a brilliant shine of light Hildibrand vanished with a shout of
"MANDERVILLE!". His screamed trailed off at he disappeared before their eyes leaving nothing but his Magitek Transceiver behind.
In another few moments the tremors stopped and the sky settled but the land they now looked at was almost completely alien to the one that had existed before. Geographically they were near identical, the sky had more or less reestablished itself however looking around you could hardly call it Hyrule Field anymore. Where Death Mountain used to stand their was a partition in the air. Almost as a portal. What seemed to be stationary lightning separated the sky of this other place from that of Hyrule Field. It was not this one area either. All around Hyrule Field there were these strange rifts. Like gashes in the air. Each sported a different color of energy separating it from it's neighbor. You could no longer see the majestic view of Death Mountain or river leading to Zora's Domain. These were all replaced by the most unusual sights. Some of these portals did not touch the ground at all but existed superimposed over the sky. Only Hyrule Castle Town and it's borders remained solid though the great castle that had stood behind them was now gone, replaced by a black energy field.
@Scarifar@Zarkun@ProPro@SukuBig Sisters - Gourd Lake
The Fifth Big Sister who's designation was Subject Zeta addressed Candy Cane's outburst as though it were normal, more than that as though it were amusing.
"Perhaps you serve no purpose." She said as though thinking through possibilities.
"Or perhaps you will find yours is a power not expressed by physical force." She seemed to shrug.
"Or perhaps you will die before you achieve anything of worth."The other five Big Sisters as Henry's fireball approached them lifted their hands. A blast of ice issued from them that negated the flames entirely. It was in that moment that the ground started to shake. Just as it had happened in Hyrule the sky was ripped apart, space seeming to shatter as the sky was perforated with images of other places. The first Big Sister who was known as Subject Delta began to laugh.
"It has begun!" she shouted over the roar of the wind.
In this moment Zeta turned back to Candy Cane.
"Then again, maybe you will find power where you least expect it, by the hand of an enemy." Zeta pulled from her suit a vial and touched the enormous needle on her arm to it. A red liquid that seemed to glow poured from the needle into the vial.
"This is called Adam, it is the source of our powers. It could do the same for you, all you need do is inject it." She set the vial along with a hypodermic needle full of a blue liquid down at Candy Cane's feet.
"The choice is yours, use what you have or die without the power to protect yourself." She said with a sly grin that no one could see.
"ZETA!" Delta shouted over the uproar of many dimensions crashing into one another.
"Leave your play thing and let us go. Our mission awaits us."The wind and violence of the world that shook so violently many could not remain on their feet began to die down in that instant as the worlds settled into their final positions.
As they did Delta surveyed them with a smile behind her helmet. Then she turned to her sisters.
Alpha, seek out out the Spear Pillar on grid three zero four of the temporal axis. I will locate the corresponding Pillar along the spacial axis." The Big Sister nodded and vanished appearing next to one of the spacial distortions in the world. She stepped through it and vanished. Then Delta turned to the other Big Sisters issuing orders to each of the three remaining ones in sequence.
"Theta, take what we need from Black Mesa, be wary of the Combine. Gamma, bring me a subspace detonation device and the R.O.Bs that control its interface. Zeta, retrieve the containment unit of the Shadows that created the Dark Hour. You have your assignments. We will revive the Rapture Family, here. The surface world is ours by right." Then each of the Big Sisters vanished in a purple haze appearing next to different tears in the fabric of space. Each entered one and was lost to view.
