[IC] HCL 2: Twisted tinkers' triumph

[Wraithblade6]

@thewizardguy
Having been thrown off by Drac, Mithias found himself resuming consciousness at the foot of some ice pillar not far from the battle. The vampire was sorely weakened, blood starved, and physically and emotionally taxed. He blinked as an indescribable burst of power came from Bob that should have killed everyone there, but it didn't. Somehow, Drac took it full force and died, giving his spirit to stabilize the very being he had just tried to destroy. Mithias didn't realize it initially, but eventually, he would figure out that Drac had chosen to sacrifice himself rather than inadvertently kill Bob's little girl. Well... not that Drac wasn't going to die anyway.

But in short, Mithias also lived, although he had just watched himself die in Alucard, had his beloved soulmate torn from his body, Bob got gruesomly stabbed to death, and his supposed 'friend' Drac also died in the span of a handful of minutes. Down on the ice, Mithias trembled, sorely disturbed from it all. As fucked up as it was, Mithias couldn't deny his gratitude that Bob, fickle son-of-a-bitch or not, had lived.

Something would always try to get you, Bob had effectively said. The old fey sincerely did like him, at least for the present time and dimension, and he had given the vampire sincere advice. "It's true." Mithias whispered to himself, getting up carefully. Alucard had found him out of nowhere. Even Drac, who he had sympathized with and allied with, father of his best pal Bug, had turned unexpectedly, trying to kill Bob. Mithias unpleasantly recalled Kami incinerating him over and over in laughter, and he narrowed his eyes. Beings in the multiverses were simply insane. From now on, he vowed to commit himself to getting stronger. He should be capable of following in Tsukune's footsteps, or even surpassing them, if he worked hard at it. Mithias inwardly mirrored Alucard's resolve. He would hone himself into a weapon, building his speed, strength, healing, and he'd get the Jiguntou back.

Placing a hand over his heart, ahh he missed Tsukune badly. Aono had told him that he would know what to do when the time came. Perhaps melding with Alucard and negating his fire-wings was jsut that. He had given Bob the opening he needed to destroy the most terrible Omegan fiend.

Speaking of Bob, he had left behind a part of himself, his daughter. Mithias realized he had begun staring at her as she was waking up from her forced slumber. He was tired, uncoordinated, and so thirsty...

He looked away quickly. "Damn there must be some kind of warm blooded life on this planet." He spoke hushed to himself, not expecting the girl to hear. But all he saw before him were the freezing corpses of dragons, and a few Ewoks, and a deep layer of bare metal below the ice at his feet. He needed to get out of here, if only to sustain himself. His thirst had returned. Once that could be sated, be could begin serious training.

He glanced behind again to see how the girl was doing. She wasn't hurt, which was a bloody miracle. Any daughter of Bob should certainly have some kind of magic or some form of travel. If he could make friends with her, without her pulse driving him nuts, she might be able to help him. Mithias coughed awkwardly.

The creature rapidly assaulted Bahamut, blades forming from the mass of wires for mere moments to strike at his flesh. The Dragon Emperor, for his part, used a combination of flaming blasts and his sword to keep it at bay, his speed greatly enhanced. The being certainly landed a strike or two, but as it attempted to send it's wires deeper into bahamut's body, he would simply rip them out with brute force. This was not his first time fighting a creature like this, and he knew how to handle beings with a high magic resistance. His direct fire attacks seemed to do little to the creature, but the cold metal of the blade moving at supersonic speeds was as effective as one might expect, although hitting was a pain. It was furious, frenzied and fast, but it lacked combat experience, and Bahamut was able to anticipate it's moves with ease.

Flames melted the ceiling of the chamber, reducing the stone to magma in a mere moment. Kicking away the create once more, Bahamut turned to face those who would slip past him, even as the ceiling dropped down on top of any unlucky enough to remain in the room. The molten rock did not harm Bahamut, as he commanded it's heat, but it's nonmagical properties as well as immense weight would do well in holding down the wire creature. It wouldn't die, most likely, but it would certainly be slowed down.

The many Bugs find themselves blocked by a wall of flame, as Bahamut shoots down the corridor, resuming his fight. Within moments, the wire creature would be upon him once more. And most likely, it wouldn't be taken down with the same trick again. As such, he would need to deal as much damage as possible and think of a new way to disable it before it returned to the fray. He did this by blasting the corridor with plasma, instantly incinerating any clone standing within it. The walls were magma, the very air boiled as it too was reduced to a plasma state. Bahamut's supercharged blasts cleaded massive chasms in the ground, annihilating everything that came even remotely close to them. Even before entering this state Bahamut had been a formidable foe, but right now he was stronger and faster than ever before.

-----------------------------

Kihaku simply glared at Nathan as he spoke, although Cosmos replied in his usual calm tone. "Had times been different, we would have preferred to leave the child. However, I believe she may be able to help me in undoing the Seals of Omega." He smiled slightly, even as Teo jumped at Cosmos, only to be thrown across the room. "One must destroy, in order to allow for growth. Sometimes you must burn the forest down to prevent a fire from spreading." He turned, and a portal opened for them to leave through. Minx shot through the doorway, screaming and raging, only to be met with Kihaku's shadows grabbing her legs. She was dropped to the ground, and Cosmos simply pointed a finger. Mia and Raiden were seperated at once, her soul rejected from his body.

"We leave now, with the child. And there is nothing people like you can do to stop us. I would recommend you spend less time struggling, and more time preparing. The battle ahead will be a fierce one, and I am not so sure that an individual might not turn the tide." With those words, Cosmos and the others prepared to leave the Forsaken Realm.

@thewizardguy

While bahamut's sword slows the creature down to some degree, it manages to dodge fairly simply up to the point it actually snaps the blade with a hand, it's wires inside of bahamut growing lifeless once disconnected. Though there is a brief moment when the bolt of plasma causes it to drop down the pit and stick it there for a fair while before it discovers how to use it's body to tunnel which it uses to extreme efficiency, actually tripping up bahamut before springing out of the ground before him and probably head-butting his chin hard enough to launch him on his ass

[supertinyking]

@thewizardguy

Nathan looks around, and over towards the wall of flames. He knew he was defeated, but he had one final question for Cosmos.

"Prepare..for what?" He asks, his hands twitching slightly.

But maybe the far more interesting thing was happening down the way, as Bug faced a foe who commanded flames, and was about to loose another family member, the third, if he lets it.....

...was he not strong enough? He had trained for almost a year, and yet was so easily kept at bay......
Was he not smart enough, to set up a defense able to defeat them all?
Was he not fast enough to react?.....
Would he just let them take his little sister, and pick another of his family away?....
...No.........
No......
He would not stand for this. He would not allow it. He..would..not..fail....NOW!

Bug's eyes begin to glow emerald green, two beacons that could be seen though the wall of flames Bahamut was generating. In a moment, all the clones fell to the ground, a mass of strange orange beetles scuttling about, and around Bug. In a split moment, he was covered in a exoskeleton esq armor. He then began to rush forwards, his glowing eyes still shining under the helmet he now wore. He pulled back a fist, and charged Bahamut, dodging the blasts of plasma, and the onslaught of fire. Weaving side to side, jumping, ducking, weaving, moving, he became a blur of green. Soon, he reared back a punch, and Bahamut could see something that may enrage him..frighten him....make him see his end was there, and now. Bug, in a pose just like his father, appeared before Bahamut, gauntlet clad fist reared back, and then launched with enough force that it in and of itself would shatter Bahamut's rib cage, and most likely rupture his organs, but as the punch flew, Bug unflexed his fingers, and his arm glowed a bright white. Bahamut would feel the hand cut into his flesh, and though his chest, leaving a fist sized hole center mass.

Seeing their chance, Kilroy rushes forth, using a short range teleportation core to close the distance even faster, the non-magic properties of his teleportation making it quite hard to redirect, or predict. Soon, he rushes into the fray, teleporting behind Cosmos, and quickly putting him into a full Nelson. Seeing his chance as well, Nathan rushes forth, grabbing one of Minx's lightsabers which had fallen to the ground with her dispersal, and he activates it, aiming to drive it right into the center of Cosmos's forehead.

The Void walker would be quite in trouble, the child now balling due to the conflict, and lashing out many bolts of energy, not to mention Tsubaki opening fire on her, aiming to either land a good hit, or let the child manage to take her out with a stray bolt of this very dangerous magic......

Raiden simply collapses, and attempts to grasp at the fading Minx, his sobbing being drowned out by the sounds of battle, as he tries to hold onto her. She screams, but only those who can hear souls can hear it, as she does begin to fade. Raiden tries, he tries, but he seems doomed to just watch as she fades away......until Kilroy rushes past. To those who can see spirits, she finds a place within him, his body having a soul containment area, which oddly keeps her preserved from non-existence. She remains hidden, for now, to those who cannot easily spot souls.

"Hehehehe." Rinack says, patting her on the top of her head. "Thatta girl."
"I have a feeling we'll regret this quite quickly.." Hunger thinks, but sighs. "Shall we get started?" He says, opening a portal to outside Death City.

@supertinyking

"Yes." Camilla says as she steps through the portal

[thewizardguy]

@Tyki@supertinyking

The Puppet's strike lands, as Bahamut is knocked into the air. His blade shattered, his magic weakened. He floated in midair, his wings of fire preventing him from falling. He further responded with a rapid kick that sent the puppet through a number of walls, the shockwave of it cracking the nearby stone. Bahamut's physical strength was inferior only to Toguro and Alucard, and even then not by much. He was a God of War, and his blows made it clear that he was not to be underestimated under any circumstances.

Of course, even such formidable feats could not protect him as Bug rushed at him through the flames. He fired a number of beams of plasma to little effect, before closing in for close combat. Bug's first fist smashed through Bahamut's guard, his fury-enhanced strength overpowering even the Dragon Emperor. However, the second blow was simply redirected. Caught at the wrist, Bug was sent smashing face first into the stone floor, quickly followed by a palm blow to the back that generated a crater the size of a small house. In his rage Bug had found strength and speed, and his durability allowed him to tank even Bahamut's immense strength. However, anger clouded the mind. And Bahamut was quite literally a God of Martial Arts.

Of course, he now found himself facing two dangerous opponents. Bug, with an immensely dangerous stat boost. As well as the mysterious Puppet creature, that drained his magic with every touch. It was clear that exhaustion was beginning to show, as well as a number of small wounds slowing him down. Even Bahamut could not fight off this many opponents for this long.

"Prepare for everything you've ever loved to be destroyed. I would offer you to join us, but even if I were to explain the situation to you, I do not believe you would abandon your allies. Simply take my advice, and hide in the deepest corners of the Multiverse you can find. Because the thing that's coming? It's going to make us look like puppies by comparison."

Killroy rushed at Cosmos, utilizing telportation to dodge in between the other fighters in the area. Even as Cosmos was grabbed, he smiled, knowing he had already avoided danger. Killroy was potentially the most dangerous person present, to him. For killroy was independent of magic, besides his secret weapon. And the blades and guns the cyborg had been equipped with were more than enough to inflict lethal damage to this body. But in choosing to go for a holding technique, he had failed to realize the importance of a quick kill, thus dooming himself.

Cosmos focused, as he felt the metal around him. Felt it's properties, it's capabilities. The vast potential for electromagnetism it possessed. He simply reached in and controlled it, manipulating it as he did all aspects of reality. The pieces began to conflict, reject one another, as their newly generated magnetic fields repulsed one another. Telekinesis, in effect. And yet, far more energy efficient than the brute application of physical force. Even more efficient when Cosmos chose to reroute the electricity flowing in Killroy's arms for this very purpose. To all outsiders, it seemed as if Killroy's arms simply blew themselves apart, launching shrapnel in every direction that Cosmos did not currently occupy.

Of course, this act required intense concentration, and so left him vulnerable from the front. A vulnerability that would be covered by Kihaku, as she emerged from the shadows below Nathan. Arms etended in bladed claws, she struck upwards, the blades attempting to pierce his thick hide. The blows carried a highly powered Soular Charge, ripping at his internal organs and the very core of his being. Furthermore, the constantly shifting shadows would attempt to surround him, to ensnare him. To cover his entire body. No physical attack could hurt Kihaku, and it seemed like there was little hope for removing her as she shadows creeped over his skin. Forming a prison of liquid darkness that would crush his body, all the while ripping at his very essence.

The Voidwalker judged the baby to be a problem. She would quite probably continue blasting the area, and Voidwalker did not have the time nor the attention to redirect the point-blank blasts. As such, she simply dumped the baby somewhere on the other side of the Multiverse. The cradle vanished, only to reappear on a dead world. No longer a problem, no longer an issue.

Bullets rushed at her, but they never reached her. It was as if there was a bubble around Voidwalker, and anything entering it was instantly teleported away. Tsubaki found herself struck by her own bullets repeatedly, soon discovering that using projectiles against someone with the capability to redirect projectiles was kind of a shitty idea. Of course, discovering this would already have cost her several bloody wounds. Whatever specialized ammo she had used, it was now her own problem to deal with.

Cosmos sighs, as he turns around. "Voidwalker. You have my permission to go all-out. I think it's time we reasserted the power of the Omegans. We were scattered, it's true. We've lost a few members. But we are quite literally the most capable warriors in all of reality, the best of the best, champions of the Multiverse." He chuckled at that last line, as the many binding seals covering Voidwalker's body begin flying off. The room seems to reverberate, space beginning to shift, as Voidwalker prepared to reveal her true power. "Did you really think you could defeat us? As we worked together? As one? Allow me to remind you of who you're dealing with."

@Wraithblade6
Slowly, the girl sat up. She stretched her arms and yawned, seeming completely unbothered by the freezing winds. And even as he watched, her skin was covered in a thick coat of matted whie fur, her bone structure altering to prevent the fur from getting inot her eyes. She looked over to Mithias, having become furry-fied (and covered up). Slowly she walked towards him. "Goddamnit. Another wandering corpse? Doesn't Skjold get tired of this shit? I don't even recognize this one. Are you going to hold a speech, explain how you died and all? Or shall we just skip to the chase?" Long claws extend from her fingers, molding together to form blades of bone. Each blade seemed to be coated in a thin layer of acidic substance, which could be seen dripping from it. Most likely excreted by pores in the side of the blade. The newly formed muscle mass beneath the coat of fur was a further troubling sight.

Much like her father, this girl had no patience for sticking to a shape. And she had less patience for slow talkers. She had every intention of following up on her threat, and it became abundantly clear what had killed the dragons that now so neatly decorated the ground, their inhuman blood freezing everything it touched.

[Wraithblade6]

Great. Mithias managed to survive everything he had gone through, only to be killed by Bob's daughter. He sighed long as he looked at her beautiful white fur. The continual threat of death, he was finding, was at least a good distraction from his sorrows.

"I'm sorry for trespassing, Miss." He said. "I didn't intend to come here. My name is Mithias, and my 'death' is hardly relevant. Let us cut to the chase. I need to know, can you open inter-dimensional portals, or not?" The vampire was very matter-of-fact as he straightened himself as best he could and patiently waited her response. He was more vulnerable than ever, and should have cowered in fear of death, but ironically, Mithias just didn't give a fuck. If he was going to have to fight, he'd fight, but if he was going to die, he'd die. No reason to be afraid of it. He blinked his hungry, golden eyes expectantly.

@thewizardguy

There's a brief moment of silence before the shrieking begins to tear at everyone's ears, voidwalker's bubble comeing undone as the ammalgamation of wires seems to spring up in multiple places at once, shredding through bug's head, armor and all, consuming the magic he used to keep that portion of his body solid, coating Bahamut in the acid and magic draining mass of wires like tar, pulling him towards the ground at high speeds.

As kihaku begins her assault on nathan she can feel something very thin crawling along her before it tightens and begins to pull her away from nathan, seeming to grab her just as much as the threads sliced away at her, ripping her apart like tiny, long razors. Void walker, on the other hand, is not quite so lucky as her magic begins to swell, so too do the wires, completely covering her sphere in the thick mesh, feeding on the magic she exerts to keep the portals open and closing them, the rapid opening and closing of the portals and spatial rending causing a shrinking effect on her 'bubble' until she's entirely encased, head to toe in wire mummification, The horrid things feeding on her like magical lampreys until she's bone dry before finally releasing her to fall to the floor, not dead but unconscious and no longer of use to the creature.

As the questions begin to form, cosmos suddenly feeling as though entire worlds were watching him as the creature sprouts from the ground like some hellish plant before launching a spike through the center of cosmos's chest, any magical defenses rendered moot and any attempts to deflect the blow by cosmos himself being mostly useless short of physical ones, creating a state where he, himself is being forcefully pulled out of the body in agony and incredibly slowly, the spike curling inwards in an attempt to lock him in place to make it impossible to run without shredding his body in the process. Though, with the creature's meals being conducted with intense concentration, this would be a great time for pretty much anyone else to bravely run the fuck away, which the cloaked swordsman gladly does, cause frankly, he'd rather not fuck with hellish wire creatures consuming all things mystical.

@thewizardguy

Teo sees the Cradle disappear and grins ,the baby would leave a powerful signature ,one that he can track.Teo would leave a "Kick Me " sign on Cosmos's back as he teleports back to The Tetris ,he jumped into the Tetris and drove ,tracking the infant's powerful time-distorting signature as he drove .

"Heh,stupid voidwalker"

Teo would mutter under his breath as he grabbed the crib and went back into the Tetris and onto a pocket diemsoion of his creation ,he would take a signature-disturber and activate it ,it would cover the Infant's signature and the Crib's.Teo would leave a few butler bots and Melody to take care of the child ,their signatures also covered .

@Wraithblade6
The girl raises an eyebrow, remaining out of arm's reach. It was clear that she remained wary of Mithias, but equally clear that her initial violent intentions had been delayed. "Well, you're a strange one. I have no idea what you're talking about with dimensions and portals." She's silent for a moment, considering whether this strange figure formed a threat to her. Then she spoke again. "I can't help you, but I know something that might be able to assist. I found something that definitely looks like a portal the other day. Don't know where it leads or whatnot, but it definitely goes somewhere, might help you out. Of course, if you want me to show you where it is, you're going to have to help me out first."

[thewizardguy]

@Tyki@Teoinsanity

The wires shoot out of the ground everywhere, attempting to wrap around and entrap everything. Bahamut becomes entrapped by the wires, as they swirl around him, attempting to drain him of his magic. In response, the Dragon God simply retracted his arcane capabilities, attempting to slow down the wire creature's abilities even as he exerted his own not inconsiderable strength. The metal stretched around him as he grabbed at it, tearing it from his body, attempting to rip it to shreds with his bare hands.

The Voidwalker, of course, had dodged the attack. The very moment the threads had shot out of the ground, they had found the space they were aiming for empty. The Voidwalker had left the room, instead choosing to hover far above the palace, in the misty green air of the Forsaken Realm. The seals had now almost all disappeared, revealing what appeared to be a teenage girl wearing business casual, her hair pure white, her eyes glowing bright purple. She smiled, as space seemed to rip open. Those souls who looked up would see that which those within would be missing. As the sky lit up bright yellow, as if the very atmosphere had been set on fire.

A series of portals, opening at seemingly random locations in the sky, all pointing downwards. However, all of them lead to a single location. For far away, in a universe of little importance, a star had just gone supernova. And through the portals, one would be able to witness this spectacle, even as Void struggled to channel it. In about a minute, the supernova would hit the portals, and everything below would die.

Back down below, the creature attempted to grab Kihaku. She respnded by not caring. Threads sliced their way through her shadowy form, finding nothing to grab on to but the Kishin Witch beneath. Her body was formed from liquid darkness, something the Puppet clearly had not understood. Only in the brief moments of contact was it able to grasp any magic at all, and even then not much. Ignoring the creature's attacks, Kihaku simply continued to exert her revenge, attempting to quite literally skin Nathan alive.

[Tyki]

@thewizardguy

The wires seem to retract from bahamut when he reaches them, having served their purpose and retreat underground only for kihaku to be completely coated in them, leaving her no where to run as they even spread beyond her to nathan in their search for magical attunment, seeming to follow her just as quickly as she ran while the creature lets out a hissing sound made from the scrapping of wires together at high speeds at cosmos, his death having literally stared him in the face before turning to void walker in the sky and shooting the rest of it's wires up at the portals, grasping them as if they were physical and shrinking it's hold on them, crushing them as it devours their magic sustaining them and closes them forcefully, void walker's not inconsiderable mystical might able to keep them open nearly up to the point the star goes supernova before the portals are forcefully closed, her strength drained to the point she probably couldn't do that again in this fight without considerable strain on her body. Even as she recuperates two small, incredibly thin wires shoot at her, chasing her teleportations unless she actively leaves and stays out of the universe.

While all this is going on however, Kihaku and nathan are constricted and sought out by the other mass of wires attempting to devour kihaku and inadvertently torturing nathan. Each time they come into contact it feels like Kihaku as a small part of herself ripped away forcefully, her sustained presence not being the best idea especially since cosmos's attempts to free them were probably to no avail depending on what he tried

[RavenTLark]

Raven came out from her own world of death and suffering only to find suffering and near death, the exact reason she had run away from her home, the Underworld. She watched as some wires flew at her, they were in no way hiding themselves from her. They thought that they had the advantage on her and that she was just like the ones that were already captured but she wasn't. She shadow walked away from the wires just in time for them to stumble and then go back to playing with it's prey. She went to the captives, still in shadow form.

Raven saw the girl, nearly dead, the boy in pain and the girl transporting from place to place and getting away with it, but only just. She knew that her father would be happy with their deaths and that is one thing that she could not stand, her father's enjoyment. There was no way that she was going to let that happen if she had the choice. She shadow-walked to where the girl was being held and thought for a moment, then she took her iron bladed knife and started a summoning to an ancient spirit who died of drowning somewhere in this area. When she was finished the spirit floated up through and above the ground for a minute as if waiting for instruction. She said to the ghost," You're free, you owe me nothing now," the ghost heard this and went back into the ground.

Nothing happened for what felt like a life time but then all of a sudden, water started spurting out of the ground for many years ago this land hadn't existed. The wires realized what was happening but didn't know the effect that it would have on them, as the water reached each of the wires they sparked and either just stopped working or exploded. It was like spilling a cup of water on a computer, it either dies with a bang or it doesn't. The rest of the wires let go of their captives, stopped chasing the teleporter and went back into the dry sections of the ground, into safety. Raven silently thanked the water spirit for it's help and started to walk away.

[thewizardguy]

Wherever the Predator might be, he quickly found himself somewhere else. What had appeared to be a simply doorway lead to an interior that couldn't possibly be there. A bar that extended infinitely in every direction, with hundreds of thousands of mysterious figures sitting and drinking at the many tables. Space age beings in power armour, equipped with strange and powerful weaponry. Ancient Gods from long-lost worlds, calmly debating their return to power. Demons, Angels and Spirits from every mythology ever invented, real or fake, dotted the walls. His many sensors nearly overloaded as he observed a being that seemed to exist only as an infinite 1-dimensional line capable of sentient thought, warping the very laws of physics around it.

Through this pandemonium strode a singular figure that seemed to encompass the chaos around it. The figure appeared to be a human male, or perhaps a female. It seemed to change, depending on the angle you looked at it with. It's form seemed to move almost fluidly, always defined as one shape or another, but constantly shifting. It smiled in his direction, and instantly seemed to stand before him.

The physics of this realm seemed to violate science as the Predator and his race had understood it. The energies being manipulated were devoid of the laws imposed upon other universes, mere manifestations of some greater will into form and shape. Even the most doubting of thomases would be forced to admit that this entire place was either magical, or a particularly lucid hallucination.

"It seems you're a random guest. Welcome to Hell's Coffee Lounge. Can I get you anything?" The figure addressed him in his home language, as well as several languages that had been spoken by no living tongue in a hundred years. It somehow pronounded them all at once, conversing not in words but rather in meanings. The brains of other beigns simply interpreting them as speech, reverting the raw meaning into their more primitive medium of communication. Most beings defined by a singular consciousness were incapable of conversing in pure information, forcing the constraints of language upon it's transfer.

[thewizardguy]

@Tyki@RavenTLark
The Voidwalker looked down, as hundreds of wires shot up to take hold of the portals. If they reached them, it would become a problem. As such, she set up a pattern of portals linked to various harmful effects, as everything from bullets to blades to lasers blasted the wires from the side, ripping them to shreds, cutting them in half, or melting them together. If an occasional wire did manage to close in on one of the portals, Void simply closed it and reopened it somewhere else. Continuing her assault of minor attacks that tore at the wiring, as the creature found itself stretched thin to assault both Voidwalker (who was about a km(0.6 miles) in the air) and Kihaku.

In approximately 40 seconds, everything below Void would be incinerated by the raw power of a supernova, channeled through her portals.

Far below, the wires seemed to abandon Bahamut. Whilst he was far from completely drained, there were far tastier meals all around. However, even without his magic Bahamut was naturally immensely strong. He had devoured the power of the Gods of his world, and had ascended to the power of a God through that. At supersonic speeds, he started grabbing at and ripping at the wires, tearing them to pieces. This act clearly weakened the creature, and Bahamut had little magic to lose to the contact. If necessary, he would attempt to reel it in like a net and crush it into a lump of steel.

Of course, that was when everything started flooding. The flood seemed to spurt out of the thick earthen floors of the Forsaken Realm, as if someone was calling up some long forgotten underground lake. But there were no lakes below the Forsaken Realm, and the water was clearly mystical in nature as it started burning the wire creature. The Omegans wearily floated above the water, avoiding it's touch. They weren't sure if the stuff would hurt them. Only Cosmos stood still, simply causing the water to swirl around him, leaving himself completely dry. A fairly simply enchantment for a mage of his caliber.

Kihaku had felt the sting of the wires, but not for long as they were either pulled away or otherwise occupied. Spread over so many people, there just wasn't enough wire to go around, esspecially as more and more of the stuff was destroyed. Instead, she chose to attempt to finish off Nathan, her shadows pulling her up above the water. It would be best if Logar would have nothing but ashes to bury, and to ashes Kihaku would reduce the demon she held.

-------------------------------

Raven found herself transported from a world of death to more of the same, as she was surrounded by the souls of the damned. Whilst certainly a change of scenery, the thick green fog and large stone palace provided little distraction from the fact that this too was a form of afterlife for those who fit in nowhere else. Much more interesting, perhaps, were the many strange and exquisite beings that inhabited this place, and were currently in the midst of a battle.

Most remarkable was a being of shadow that she could sense within the palace. For Raven's every sense would tell her that it was merely an amalgamation of souls, of fallen spirits clinging together. And yet it seemed to function as a single being. An entity that had emerged from the conglamerate souls of dead soldiers. Combining their power to not simply cheat death, but to create new life from death. A form of undeath far greater in complexity than a mere zombie, and far greater in power. Easily a thousand souls were trapped within this creature, granting it their strength.

The many others she could not nearly as easily recognize with her relatively limited experience. They were certainly all magical, and she could even sense some divine power similar to her father's. But the diversity in magicks and techniques utilized in this struggle far outdid any battle she might have encountered on her homeworld.

[thewizardguy]

@Teoinsanity

Teo would find the child on a dead world, in the empty halls of a fallen civilisation. This world had been struck by Alucard, and he had devoured every last particle of organic material on the world. He had drank the oceans and breathed in the atmosphere. The only reason the child could survive in the remaining conditions was the still functioning life support systems, that had activated long after any member of the species would be able to appreciate it. Whilst it would certainly be possible to take the baby, a small Portal above the crib suggested that the Voidwalker was keeping an eye on it even now. And she could appear before him in an instant, severely damaging his chances of making it out of here with the child, or even making it out at all.

[Tyki]

The wire creature seems to collapse into the water at all the ripping and tearing seemed to knock it out, though it was difficult to tell how. After a good few seconds however, the water completely disappeared as if it was all drank at once, the wire creature standing once more and 'gazing' at it's hand as though studying itself for the first time, it's newborn youth begining to show before it crumples it's hand until the arm is nothing more than a stump before there's a loud "boom" and void walker finds it's arm buried in her stomach shortly before she can teleport away, the wound subsisting if only for a moment as it rises, it's wires grasping at the portals to raise it up to meet her, it's focus now completely centered on her as various parts of it's body begins to crumple and warp before launching at the portals she'd opened to stop it from reaching the portals acting as a gateway to the supernovas, each portal it touches closing more rapidly than the last as though it was begining to grow more accustomed to doing so until her defense crumbles and she finds herself with two options: sacrifice herself to continue the offensive, or run and with her stomach wound, running would probably be sounding like the better option.

The thought of this happening, the death coming to life, put a shiver down even her spine. She hated her father, she hated death but she knew that once something was dead it should never come back to life. She wanted to find the creature whatever it was as soon a as possible but she was too weak from all the shadow walking that she had done. Her new found power of shadow walking was extremely draining and if over used could make her fall asleep for weeks. The first time that she had done it she had fallen asleep for an entire month. She didn't like the idea but she knew that she was going to have to tell her father about it and let him deal with it, but just until she gained her energy back.

There was one problem though, she had never been to this world before and even though it felt similar to the Underworld she knew for sure that it wasn't. She would have to hide for now until she had enough energy to do maximum damage to the thing and even then she doubted that she would last alone against it but she would have to try. Raven jogged to what looked like a huge rock, there seemed to be enough space underneath it for her to get under it. She went down on the sticky ground that was covered in some sort of liquid. As soon as she touched it with her bare hands it started to burn, she quickly jumped up to see that her jeans had holes in them from the liquid making her realise that the liquid was actually acid and that she had to get off it straight away before it killed her. As she was running she realised that the creature was closer to her than before, she could feel it.

She turned her head around quickly to see how far away it was only to find that it was right behind her. A black mass of smoke, acid and bodies, all kinds of bodies. Hanging on to their bodies for dear life were the spirits of the bodies, they were the 'Lost ones', a name for spirits that didn't know that they were dead and thought that they were still inside their bodies. That made it understandable how it had created itself, it had deceived new spirits into thinking that they were alive therefor making them 'Lost ones', the strongest spiritwise but the weakest mentally. Raven thought to herself," Come on Hades, I know that you don't miss me but I am your daughter so you kind of don't really have a choice but to help me out here," I heard a chuckle in my head," oh, so you are listening, that's a first," it was so close," ok, ok, you win, I'm sorry, happy, now help me out here," I heard him laugh again but I knew from that laugh that he still wasn't coming. "And you wonder why I left, well this is why, because you don't give a spirit's body about me," and I shut him back out again, that was when I saw it, a tree, I ran to it and started climbing and finally I got to the top. When I got there I realised what a stupid idea it was because now I was trapped and I knew from experience that spirits could float. I was stuffed unless I could find some way of gaining some time.
