[IC] Super Heroes/Villians

[Sapphire]

Aisyle nodded and looked for a good place to put Dark or whoever was in there at that point. He had not expected for Dark to come back practically drugged by her own exhaustion mixed with a strange inability to sleep. She kept mumbling incoherently, occasionally managing to get out a whole sentence. "The board, I saw it! Your piece looks funny...." Aisyle had no idea what she could possibly be talking about, "Um, Dark are you okay?" She almost giggled in response but stopped herself and gave him a very serious look, "She can control them, they are her pawns. One day she will learn to move the big pieces. Isn't that terrifying?" He sighed, "Look, I have no idea what you are talking about, just go to sleep and we can talk about this later." Dark murmured something along the lines of 'But I locked her up, she can't get me because I locked her up!' She looked very pleased with herself as she drifted off to sleep. Aisyle, who had admittedly done the least, was not very tired and decided to keep watch as a precaution.

Jaquel was ravaged in sleep by thoughts that were alien to him, and ideas that weren't his. A forgotten life, that he had never lived, played out amidst the dreamscape. He fought and killed and loved and lived a thousand times, his mind mapping out a variety of lives, thrown into chaos as some new tiny detail emerged from the black blur that was his previous life. A scarred thing, a hole in his soul, tormenting, taunting, so close yet so far away. However, one thing was clear, through all of this chaos, the unknown which crashed in on his mind the moment he stepped through that portal. His devotion to Kami. He had always felt it, and he always would. It was a fixed point, a handhold, holding him above the crashing waves of half-forgotten whispers and dreams.

Kami slept soundly, regaining his strength, as the explanation went on, hearing none of it. However, as he did, energy once more began to crackle around him, and both Ashleys knew he would regain consciousness within the hour. Or at least normal Ashley did. The Ashley from Fear was still wondering why there was a lightning man on the bed.

---

As Aissyle stood watch, slowly, fatigue crept up on him. Partly natural, the mind's reaction to the storm of new sights, thoughts and experience that the day had brought, but an odd part was an almost supernatural compulsion to sleep. A silent whisper, urging him towards the land of dreams. Within moments of his solitary watch, his head was nodding, and his eyes drooping, no sound in the silent night to disturb his descent into slumber. He didn't even have the presence of mind to wonder about the complete silence, which should never occur in a bustling city such as Hope, regardless of the hour. Then, he was hit by blackness.
Kami smiled, as Aisyle awakened in his bed in Fear, in the suite she had given him. The night was young, and there was a scent of cherry blossoms in the air, a memory from the day Aisyle started Fault, a scent that had been ingrained into his mind. Simply from that scent, and the lack of any obvious source, it became clear that he had not, in fact, been transported to Fear in his sleep. This was part of the dream, although it remained to be seen just how dangerous a dream could be. "I see you understand your situation. So quickly, you really were a worthy opponent, Aisyle." Kami smiles, a cup of wine in her left hand as she sits on the corner of the bed. She twists her hand constantly, the wine swirling around, a miniature whirlpool, drawing the eye. "It took me a lot of money to get this connection, even with the link I placed in your mind. In short, listen up. I don't have all the time in the world."

Aisyle crossed his arms and stares pointedly at Kami a good deal of restraint was going into not throwing a huge temper tantrum, he was really sick of this woman but she was a plague for which he had no cure. "What do you want, hurry up and tell me because I don't think you have much time." His voice wasn't even angry, just tired.

[WizardGirl]

NA:
"You see, where as your Kami is a girl and is kind of a biatch, this man is our world's Kami, i somehow went back in time, in enough time, to save him…" I tell myself, still smiling...

Kami smiles. "Ooh, aren't we sassy? I think you've forgotten that you work for me. My Death Priest..... Jaquel, right? Him. I've been losing control of him. Now, I realize you may think of this as a victory. After all, if there's a way to free the people I control....." Kami sighs, as she smiles with fake sadness. "What a tragedy it would be if you were to get the wrong idea, wouldn't it? You don't want me to lose control of my Death Priests. Believe me. There's not enough in there to call a man, no mercy, no happiness, no conscience, no pain. The perfect killing machine, and it knows your face. You just make sure he stays mine. Don't show him anything or engage in activities that may spark his previous life, in any way." Kami sits back, smiling, once more swirling that glass of wine, and you can just feel that she's about to deliver the hurt. "As an extra incentive, Ive added more than just a link to your brain. As my Death Priest regains free will, you'll lose it. When Jaquel remembers his real name, you'll forget yours, and you'll be my puppet. I'm sure you realize this is not an empty threat." Then everything goes to black.
Aisyle wakes up, holding a kitchen knife to his throat. He's not sure where he got the knife. There are two dead people on the floor, A hole in the wall, obviously created with Aisyle's own abilities due to the smoothness of the edges. Aisyle finds that somehow, Kami was puppeting him along all the time, moving his limbs from a distance, as if with an immeasurably long string. On the floor, written in blood, is a simple text. "God will Cry, when Humanity forgets it's Name."

[Sapphire]

Aisyle slumps over, "Of all the people you could ask to do this, you ask me. Not your semi-fan girl Dark, you chose me. Well this sucks." He begins to look around, what bothered him most was that he was holding a kitchen knife, a regular kitchen knife, not one that he created. Unless Kami meant to leave his soul in one piece, which was likely. After a moment of irritation at using a regular knife he realized he had no idea where he was and had probably just killed two people, a shame but it wasn't him. He looked at the floor and saw the words there in blood, typical Kami thing to do. He examined the two bodies, he doubted he knew either of them and hopefully neither did Elysia or Dark or Light. He climbed back through the hole and closed it, sure the wall was a bit thinner but all was well and he was back in the parking garage and unfortunately Dark was awake and had an 'I know what you did' look on her face mixed with a strange 'Good job' look. Aisyle explained the situation to Dark who laughed at him, "The catalyst trying to do the job of the suppressor, it's safe to say you're royal screwed, you know I was kind of intrigued for a moment because I thought you killed for fun or whatever but sadly it wasn't even you." She was still quite amused but became very serious, "The link is unfortunately in your brain, souls are our specialty, Kami definitely took that into consideration. That link may never fully leave you, but brains are very different from souls. All the souls in this body share a link with eachother as well as you. Yes your soul was transferred but it wasn't split from our own, I'm not even sure if a full soul split is even possible after a link is formed. Souls are pretty basic when compared to the brain." Aisyle shrugged, "We should go, I'll wake the Death priest up." Aisyle walked over to Jaquel and shook him lightly, "Jack, or whatever your name is, get up."

[thewizardguy]

Jaquel stood up, before looking around. There's a moment of silence, before he he stands up fully. "There's news from Kami. Our goal is no longer Abbadon. We've been tasked with freeing Wiper from captivity." Shocking as this news was, nobody was really paying attention to it. In fact, although all eyes were, in fact, on Jaquel, no attention was payed to his reveal. Because Jaquel wasn't wearing his usual hood, and his mask had fallen away. And on the back of his head, fading in and out of sight, was a massive black spider, it's feet hooked into the sides of Jaquel's skull. The spider's teeth were at the base of his neck, the back of it's large, bulging body, sticking through the back of Jaquel's head into his brain. Undoubtedly, this answered how Kami created her Death Priests, and what fate awaited any who would cross her.

---

Kami smiled, as the massive spider moved across from it's perch, onto her hand. It was of an older breed. It wouldn't be able to reach her through the barrier of space and time, which posed quite a problem, should she move her army through. Had she sent the lesser spiders, together with her army of Death Priests, no doubt they would have erupted into confused mutiny within a day. And she had no wish to personally accompany the invasion. Front lines were such a dangerous place. The spider slowly moved back to the thrumming hive, their webs extending throughout the city. Soon, their web would extend around the world. Her Web would be inescapable. For the world simply consisted of flies, bigger and smaller, unknowing of the Spider, drawing closer with every second that passes.
Kami smiles, and swirles wine in her left hand, the baby spider clinging to it's edge. It was of a new breed. Soon enough, it would be ready. A breed that could breech the time-space barrier with it's beautiful song, that she might sing in return. And once Hope was burned to the ground, a new faction would emerge, driving back the horrible bad people that had burned Hope down. And she would enter their world as a hero, who had saved them from disaster. Her spiders would spread, as she became a greater and greater sensation. In the end, of course, she'd sink back into the shadows, the governments retaining all their puppet rights and powers. And she would own another world. And then, once she found the source of these portals, she would spread. From world to world, he spiders would go, and she would create an empire the likes of which had never been dreamed of. To grow so rich, she could buy planets. Power beyond mortal comprehension. That, Kami decided, would be her goal.

[WizardGirl]

OA:
I smile and lay both of the children down on the bed in the guest room. "Okay so, you think this Kami will be able to stop the other Kami and not die trying?"

[thewizardguy]

Kaminari sits up, crackling with lightning. "Alright. You have about twenty seconds to explain to me why there are two of you, before I reduce one of you to ash." Kami looks around, his eyes wild, obviously freaked.

[WizardGirl]

NA:
"Well, After you…died…or rather i brought you here…a portal opened to her world…" I point at my opposite "…and her version of you wants to take over the world and kill us all…so you are gonna help us or not?" I explain smiling, he wanted to be a hero, the other Kami wanted to be a villain.

[thewizardguy]

"Wait, another universe?!" Kami thought for a moment. He wasn't the brightest crayon in the shed, nor the sharpest, but he knew plenty of comics. People always had doubles, and it appeared he had an evil one. Did that make him evil, or good? He sighed, all this moral debate was giving him a headache. However, after a moment's thought, he realized something. "Hey, I managed to save Hope, right?" With a start of energy and enthusiasm, Kaminari leapt over to the window, pulling aside the curtains to confirm this was indeed the city he had worked to save. He must have succeeded. That made him a hero, there was no doubting that. He might have had his problems, but he was quite definitely the good guy, he could see that. "I'm going to need a new spandex suit. And a cape." Kami smiled brightly, lightning crackling around him. "If the other Kami is using that name for evil, I'm going to need a new name. How about Captain Awesome?......"

((I vote we timeskip now.))

[WizardGirl]

OA:
I surpress a laugh "Yah sounds like you love yourself a lot…and really, spandex? Why? Do you want everyone seeing the curves of your body?" I ask and look down at Genisis around me, showing every curve of my body "You know what…never mind…"

[thewizardguy]

((What color is Other Ashley's symbiote anyway? All we know is that the color is different.....))
Kami shrugs, smiling. "It's a must-have for superheroes. Just look at all the greats."

[Krein]

Abaddon oversaw the training of the large army below the twisted spire of a tower his throne was located on. Visiting the reality Fear was located in and meeting his double had given him a few ideas, and one of them was this, forming an army from the denizens of Sheol to combat the pending invasion Kami was no doubt planning to unleash in Hope's reality.
There were "generals" in this army, handpicked by Abaddon and placed in control over divisions of the army. These generals, while free willed, were loyal to him by choice, knowing of his power and previous feats of subiugating their former rulers.
As much as he would have liked to stay here to continue watching over everything, Abaddon knew he needed to return to Hope soon. If he was going to bring Sheol there, he needed to set things up properly. He had to be careful though. He knew that Kami's servants were seeking him, and that his double Apollyon would probably be sent to Hope quite soon to aid with this search. Standing up from his throne, he tore a rift back to Hope and jumped through.

---

Abaddon's first matter of business was setting up the runes needed for allowing the demons to pour into Hope....

[thewizardguy]

A moment of hesitation. This confusing presence..... yep. Captain Awesome smiled, as he was almost instantly at Abbadon't location. "Hello, old friend. It's been quite a while, hasn't it?" Captain Awesome is wearing bright yellow and orange spandex, with an orange lightning insignia on his chest. He also has a cape, which looks slightly silly.

[Krein]

Abaddon dragged his claws along the ground in a final motion of setting up one of the first runes. Hope was still rather "dead" since most people were in hiding after his and Kami's destructive battle. Speaking of Kami... Abaddon heard an almost unmistakable voice, and immediately his protective aura flared about him as he turned to face the lightning powered meta.

"Ah, Kami. We thought you had died," he said as he got ready for an attack.

[thewizardguy]

((No, it's been about a month since your fight with Kami. We done with the timeskips. So there are going to be people everywhere now.))
"It's Captain Awesome now." Kami grinned, the top of his face obscured by his mask, but his spiky blonde hair unmistakeable. He reaches out with one hand, as if to shake hands with Abbadon. "If you're going to be fighting my double, we're going to need to work together. We've had our differences, but the Big Bad is coming. And I don't think you're winning this on your own." Kami floated down to the ground, power floating out of him, his energy diminishing to slightly above that of an average human. Had Abbadon wished to kill him, he could have done so with relative ease right there.

[Krein]

(Oh ok, we'll just say it was done in uh... some obscure place or something.)

Abaddon watched as Kami, or Captain Awesome floated down to greet him. For someone who had literally wanted to erase his existence off the face of the earth a month ago, he sure was being friendly. This raised a bit of suspicion in Abaddon.

"So you know of that one too, huh? Tell us, how can we trust you so quickly knowing this? Your other is a shrewd and manipulative woman with many resources, how can we be sure you aren't just doing her bidding?"

Abaddon lowered the power of his aura so that Captain Awesome wouldn't be hurt by it.

((Fine by me))
"Dunno. Good luck fighting her on your own!" Smiling, Captain Awesome powered up once more, only to zap off back to his room, and continue eating doritos from a bowl. He'd learned a lot in the past month, and one of those things was not to care about what other people thought. He was Captain Awesome, and Abbadon could do whatever he wanted. He'd protect the city on his own if he had to. He looked forward to fighting his double. it would be a battle of epic proportions, he was sure.

[Krein]

Abaddon would have rolled his eyes if he were Scipio, where he actually had eyes he could roll. After all that antiquated talk about being a deity, this resurrected Kami sure was childish. He would have expected the guy to have at least some tact and negotiating skills, but it seemed that those traits were found only in Fear's Kami.

Abaddon took one last look at the runes before tendril zipping to a new location to set up a new one. For at least a little while, Abaddon could actually fight on his own. His army of demons would be more than enough to fight against the horde of Kami's brainwashed servants and citizens, and the generals of Sheol would be able to fight against her "powerhouses" as well. Still.... it might be good if Abaddon had some more allies.

He approached a new location, and quickly began creating another rune. These runes were powerful, and would not be so easily erased if someone did attempt to do so.
