You find a world in ruin, a man clad in robes holding a large grey dark blob, and the stench of death and pain burning your nose like snorting fire, making you feel as if you may puke. The man simply waits there, looking at the blob, before dropping it back into the dark sludge."Feed up, my dear...soon, we'll be off." The man says, as he too, seems to vanish into the darkness of the slime sea. The grime, and hate, swallowing him up, like a hungry mouth.

"This doesn't look good." I say as I pull out a mechanical arm connected to a set of controls. The arm extends into the slime sea. Ready to grab the blob

The creature darts around the sludge, drinking it up happily, starting to take a sort of shape, a deformed cross between a bug, and a snake. Already it cries, in pain, as it thrashes about.

Then the mechanical arm goes silent, something seeming to deactivate the controls, as it floats on top of the sickenly thick liquid...and you feel a shallow breath against the back of your neck. "....don't hurt it......" A female voice says.

[Wraithblade6]

A wave of light cuts a path through the foul slime, just missing the glob thing. Eclipse is in attack mode, driven into a fury by the da t k energy itself. "By the light of heaven be damned!" He persues the glob.

[Teoinsanity]

'who ya gonna call?"

"GLOB BUSTAHS!"

he then takes out a vaccume ,and attemppts to suck it up

[supertinyking]

The small creature lets out a yelp due to the near hit of eclipse's attack, and burries itself deep in the slime, far from where it can be sensed, or seen, the entire area reeking of evil energy, clouding the senses. The small girl near kishin rushes across the slime, her light frame letting her sorta float across the thick goo, as if she was ice skating.
"Stop! Stop!" She says, waving her arms flailing about, trying to get both the mad scientist and the angry paladin to stop their attacks.

[ShadowVentus]

Michael, regaining his composure and seeing the situation at hand acts upon it, warping in front of the girl and using his darkness to create a fiery barrier between them and the opposing duo that is Teo and Eclipse. "Back off. Let's hear this girl out." He states, his eyes a piercing red as he keeps his right hand outstretched in their general direction.

"Thank you mister." she says. "The ooze thing took my mom and dad when it flooded our house, and said if I keep it safe, it'll give me my parents back....please, don't hurt it." She says, a bit hampered as she struggles to stay upright on top of the slippery slime.

Teo stops using the vaccume

"Ya know ,it is probly just using you."
Teo says whispinerng
"I might be able to save ya parents ,just need a sample of the ooze an time"
"I am good with soul related subjects"

[ShadowVentus]

Michael offers the girl his free hand, his footing seemingly unaffected from being in contact with the darkness for so long. "I'll help you keep it safe. There's no question that the glob is a living creature, but I think it does not yet have a soul in it...we could mold it to our liking...maybe even teach it to have a good side to it...of course, we may as well give it a name." The tactician says, sharing his thoughts about the scenario.

[supertinyking]

"It can't be using me....it..wouldn't lie." The little girl says. Slowly, the bug-snake thing emerges from the sludge behind the girl, cowering behind it. Honestly, it might seem funny to some, such a scary looking creature, cowering behind a little girl, who looks like she couldn't hurt a fly if she tried.

In a flash, the little girl is gone, something pulling her under the slime's surface, her entire body vanishing in a moment. Rising from where she was, the cloaked figure that had created the blob rises up. "Leave my poor thing alone...." The man growls, holding his hands up, threateningly.

Eclipse doesnt appear to hear the girl and attacks Michael's wall, his holy weapon carving huge gashes againts the black flames. His eyes burning, he begins channeling power. "Bach to hell with you fiends!" The slime tries futilly to creep away from him as ut begins to burn. Focusing the emergy into a sustained ray, he aims it at the glob.

[Wraithblade6]

....aims at the snake bug thing and the old cloaked man.

[Wraithblade6]

Strygwyr's mysterious item suddenly gows brighty, a second soutce of shiney to Eclipse himself. "Oooo."

"Let the girl go, explain to us what you were trying to do, and maybe, just maybe, we can all pretend this never happened." I say. Moving my hand to the hilt of one of my katanas "we're all..... well we know each other....somewhat.....let's just sit down and talk this out. Sound good?"

[Teoinsanity]

teo whispers:

"gogs,anylize ooze from vacume..."

"this could take a while"

[Wraithblade6]

Eclipse is currently trying to burn the ooze and man with holiness.

"I'm trying to call a truce here!" I yell over to him

[Wraithblade6]

Eclipse snarls. "There can be no truce with evil!"

Strygwyr tosses his toy playfully. "You have it all wrong, white one." He walks up, causing the others to move aside for fear of getting cut. "I will show you."

"Let's avoid any unnecessary violence." I say as I partially unsheathe a red katana

The man seems to take the beam, the holy energy sorta just bouncing off of him.
"Light...rotten light.....It has no power over me anymore." the cloaked man says. The creature emerges from the sludge, the girl's shirt collar in its mouth, the little girl coughing and such as she takes in some deep breaths.
"Bah....young vermin....All that which used me...so foul..." He growls, the cloaked man shaking, twitching. It's obvious he isn't to stable.
