ShadowVentus said
Ventus and Vanitas cover their eyes while I illuminate the entire area with multiple columns of light, the two of them silently mourning the old man's loss. "....."

Suddenly, you feel something approaching. Looking up, you see, the Darkness has not left. The very barrier of blackness that has blocked out the sun is it's body. A hand the size of a mountain reaches down, as if to swallow you, as once more, your hearts are filled with fear, and your swords grow heavy. Thousands such hands can be seen by the light of the Collumns, reaching down from the heavens to grab at the planet's surface, blindly seeking those that had killed it's host.

With Ventus and Vanitas supporting me, the columns intensify, the light causing immense pain to the Darkness.

Mephiles decides it's time to go. Now. He suddenly pulls all his will power into expelling the darkness and covering himself in a protective layer of Chaotic energy. He tears out of the Darkness' grasp and runs.

There is no need to tear away the darkness, as it itself is torn away. Mephiles awakens once more to the ouside world, only to witness Vanitas, Ventus, and Roxas standing over the corpse of the old man who had held the Darkness. They had slain it's host, and in his head, Mephiles can hear a lingering shout of anger at the sudden loss of the host, as the Darkness came crashing down to the planet, seeking the one who had harmed it.

Mephiles tries to call out to the Darkness without connecting to it, trying to calm it, and explain that it's host was old and wanted to die. It could find a new host or something.

Any form of connection seems impossible without a Host. The mind of the darkness is simply too vast and spread-out to hear the calls of a single living mind, and even if they had been loud enough, the Darkness by nature drowned out living thought that reached it. Thousands of massive hand reached down, stomping down on the surface of the planet, ripping it to pieces, as mountains are picked up and shattered, and oceans emptied out.

Feeling this planet is pretty much screwed, Mephiles uses a sort of multi-teleport to teleport him and Ven's characters to a safer location. "Well, now we have an angry cloud of darkness running around... nice..." Mephiles says to himself.

In the distance, something odd can be seen. In fact, at first, Mephiles isn't sure whether he's imagining it or not. The stars seem to be changing positions. Which would make no sense whatsoever. After a moment of more concentrated staring, he notices they are not, in fact, changing places. One by one, the stars are going out. And darkness is setting over the entire universe.

"...Fuck..." Is all he says, at lost for anything else.

Slowly, the stars go out, as galaxy after galaxy fades away. As stars simply burn out to nothingness, life ends, as the Darkness draws nearer. Of course, you suddenly sense that the Darkness is already here. It's not the Darkness that's traveling, it's it's mind. A being 1.000.000.000.000x the size of the universe can't control it's whole body at a time.

Mephiles watches this as he thinks quickly, wondering what the hell he could do to stop this.

As Mephiles stares stupidly, a wave of Darkness rushes over him. In an instant, he feels his soul being shocked, as his heartbeat stopped, and his muscles stiffened. The breath stopped in his lungs, as his blood stolled in his veins. Eleven seconds to complete brain death.

'Damn it.' Mephiles thinks. 'This body is weak. As is my soul. I'm nowhere near what I used to be. I guess my boasting about being stronger than Darkness or Light was a bluff after all. I still need time to build up my strength.' Mephiles teleports away, despite near death, and kick-starts my body.

He's in a system the Darkness hasn't reached yet. Despite it's power, the mind of Darkness takes time to move, even though it's massively faster than light. However, everything is slowly turnign black, and it's not because of the Darkness...... 9 seconds to brain death.

Mephiles uses his Chaos to kick start my body, forcing all the organs to work.

Chaos rushes through you, and Creed's hart sputters..... and stops again. Everything is cold. Nothing is important anymore. This is what death feels like. 4 seconds to brain death.

"Mephiles! Give me my body!" I think. Mephiles' mask falls to the ground and shatters to dust. "Come on! I can't stop here! I'm not about to die because of some Darkness. I won't go down like this!" I yell to myself, fire rushing though my veins, literally willing myself to live on. "I don't know the meaning of the word hopeless! I won't expire here! I WON'T!"
"...I have a feeling you're going to die..." Mephiles says, waiting for me to pass, readying to... detach from me, I guess you could say.

I come in looking around "hello"

Slowly, your heart begins to stutter back to life, your brain once more recieving a supply of oxygen. Within seconds of your death, you're able to draw another breath, painful as it rasps through your lungs. It feels like your entire body is being stabbed repeatedly, and your muscles are screaming their defiance, but the pain means you're alive.

You find the entire world covered in corpses. People just fell over and died. It's dark, like it were night, even though it's supposed to bein the middle of the day. Everything is dead, and you can't hear a single sound.

I groan at the pain and stand there. "I can't believe I'm not dead..."
"Same here..." Mephiles says.
