[IC] HCL 2: Twisted tinkers' triumph

[supertinyking]

@thewizardguy
((It's now basically a twisted amusement park now. After the Omegans blew it up, Ozzy rebuilt. One could say, a dark circus.))
The demons flee, and soon the armored man twitches, and his body begins to change, before there is a bright blinding flash of light. Now, a abomination, standing nearly ten feet tall stood before the creature Alice had formed into, it's physiology not at all similar to anything she had see yet, even among the strange demons. It stood on two legs, but had six arms, each one weilding a great sword, and if she was observant enough, she's notice all its hands were left hands. It had no head on it's shoulders, rather, it has a large lion's face on Its chest, which roared. It had white feathered wings on it's back, and below that, near the base of where Its spine should be, a long scorpion tail drooped down, slightly curled. The strange monster positioned itself, blocking off Alice from the remainder of the demons who were fleeing.
"..Halt...." The Lion's maw spoke, the voice she had once heard now twisted, and distorted.

@thewizardguy
".......The one who killed my child seeks to kill me now....Kihaku.....I...remember you, barely...." The creature says, his grip tightening on his blade, darkness and flame swirling around his weapon now, his rage starting to boil over. "..You die, here, now..slowly."
Flying forth, taking a two handed grip on his weapon, Logar swipes with his weapon like one may a twig, despite the exceptional size of his sword. Though out the battle, his may catch his foe off guard, as he splits his one blade into two, back into one, and change its shape. Obviously, sustaining any sort of defense was exceptionally difficult.
@Tyki
However another stepped into the fray, a masked being, unknown to the monster....and it was fighting his foes.
This, was not something he accepted.
In a flash of movement, as this masked figure began to attack Bahamut, the creature grabs him, slamming him into the ground with enough force to level the small remainder of Anor Londo, and the hill near by...and Sen's fortress...and part of the undead burg. Little need to say, it was exceptionally destructive, him aiming to cripple, or force a retreat from this masked figure.

Ozzy turned to look at Raven, before looking over at the monsters confrontation.
"....Raven, Bob is a being of pure randomness..and he attacked and has toutured members of my family. As such, my father attempted to kill him when he was weak, but due to a..reason, he lost the fight. Now, I have a bargaining chip to free my father, who Bob is holding in a purgatory of sorts. Mithias, the vampire here, has a fondness for Bob, and is wishing to stop me." Ozzy says, slanting things slightly more in his favor. He then turns to Mithias.
"That is.....David, let's call him. My latest work of art." Ozzy says, taking great pride in the strange monster. "He used to be two creatures, one a strange manticore monster, and a fallen knight....with a little work, I created something greater than the sum of his parts."

@supertinyking

"Right...." Raven said as she pondered at the situation, she wondered if he was telling the whole truth or not. She doubted it according to his usual personality and what he was but you can never know for sure. " What is wrong with you? That is wrong and insulting, not only to life but to death as well!" the idea of such a creature made her sick what was worse was imagining what it looked like now.

"That's my girl!" her father yelled in her mind, what was funny was that for once he seemed strangely proud but it soon ended as he finished in a sarcastic tone," I'm glad to see that you really do care about me."

Now Raven knew that he could be proud of her which surprised her because she hadn't thought it possible," Oh, you wish!" she regained herself as she said the last part. "Why would you make a creature like that?" she asked Ozzy.

While logar's strength was immense, the masked figure's was so far beyond his own that his grip didn't even cause him to budge, though when he sees that he was intendending to fight bahamut the figure simply throws the dragon god at logar as if saying "have fun" before turning to cosmos, obviously more interested in him than any of the other's, the mage having most likely worked himself free, at least partially, by now. As he struggled to remove the nail from his other hand he could see the masked figure approaching at a leisurely pace now that logar had taken care of fighting kihaku and Bahamut, leaving him at the mercy of whatever the figure had planned for him. As the figure approaches he puts his hands together as if in a praying display, giving cosmos pause out of sheer curiosity before his intentions were made clear, it's touch upon his chest searing him like molten iron being poured along his entire being, his true, soular form being ripped from the host it inhabbited like a parasite, his nature as a non-physical being allowing the process to take place due to the body's natural rejection of him due to not being it's original soul. Once he was free, he was again given pause as he wasn't able to sense the figure building up any magic or soular energy to attack him, it simply punched him in the face... wait... but... he was incorporeal- SON OF A BITCH THAT HURTS. When the Figure's fist made contact with cosmos's true face it connected as if he were still physical, his punch able to touch him despite the incorporeal nature of a soul, leaving the battle alot more dangerous than intended as the figure seemed to give him a moment to collect himself, his intentions made clear before he seemed to draw blades from within his sleeves before dashing at cosmos, the battle beginning.

@RavenTLark
"My dear, why act so offended? I gave him back his sanity, and restored him from being a fallen wretch..back to a mighty knight. He was thankful. Well, not at first, at first he was panicking..but now, he's in my debt for me..saving him." Ozzy says, grinning slightly. He then blinks, looking at the strange armored bug creature the monster was about to most likely lock blades with.

[RavenTLark]

@supertinyking

"How close was he to death would you say? Just an estimate is fine," she asked, she needed to make sure that death wasn't cheated. She may not like her father's work but if there was no or prolonged death the world would collapse, not straight away but it would. There has to be death to have life," To have one you must have the other to balance it out," she said out loud to herself, hopefully not loud enough for Ozzy to hear. "What is in it for you?" she asked this because she knew that there had to be a reason and that seemed as good as any, even better for what Ozzy is.

[Wraithblade6]

Mithias was strangely quiet while raven and Ozzy spoke. To look at the long-haired vampire, he was frozen, tense, and staring with gritted fanged teeth at the claw-bladed, bug-girl and half-demon, ex-knight that Ozzy described as David. Mithias had no idea wtf to do. If he moved to defend Alice, he'd potentially give her away and lose his soul. If she died without him saving her, he'd probably also lose his soul. He couldn't even shout at her to stop attacking shit.

Mithias turned his grimace to Ozzy and tried to keep him distracted. "Bob wasn't threatening any of you! Drac is a coward! He attacked Bob when he was weak, right after Bob ... saved my life! Drac deserves the end that came to him. He is just another monster. He betrayed me... He attacked.... MY family." Mithias was clenching a fist so tight it was trembling.

[supertinyking]

@Wraithblade6@RavenTLark
"We was a raging monster, killing and slaughtering any who came close...I doubt he would of been stopped soon without my inter-" Ozzy begins, before he hears Mithias's words, and they make Ozzy grin slightly. He turns to the blood sucker, and points at him, laughing. "You're...a monster." He says, before spinning a bit, and pointing at Raven. "You, can be a monster." He snickers, before pointing to Alice. "She, is a monster...we're all either able to be, or are monsters...the difference is, monsters are stronger than those who hold back, those who attempt to go on the higher, more difficult road...because they live longer, and are able to fight with no restrictions." Ozzy says, before spinning on his heels to look at Mithias again. "I'd bet souls that if I locked you up in a cage for a few weeks or so, and then threw in a little girl, you'd rip her apart...like a rabid starved dog killing a de-clawed kitten." He says, before his cheery demeanor gets suddenly serious. "..So don't make me have to test that theory. Because I would be more than willing, if it got you off of your god damned high horse." He growls, and Raven could feel the heat coming off of Ozzy, the spike of rage being very significant.

[RavenTLark]

@supertinyking

"Maybe so, but then you would have to ask what truly is a monster? What is the definition of a monster?" Raven stated logically. She knew that he was really angry and that was an understatement but he was getting ridiculous," Asking a vampire to not drink blood is like asking a human not to breathe, admittedly a Vampire can survive a lot longer without blood than a human can without air but that's not point."

[Wraithblade6]

Mithias nodded in agreement with Raven. "Yes Raven. Nature is not perverse, Ozzy, but you are. Any animal must feed, and I am just an animal. There is no sin in survival. And before you even argue, greed and cowardice are not the same thing! You can't use the 'survival' excuse to justify unnecessary slaughter. Feeding is neither preemptive nor vengeful. It is natural and pure and cannot be tainted by your warped demonic insinuations." Mithias was still on his high horse. He glared and held onto this blades, mostly watching Alice.

[supertinyking]

@Wraithblade6
"Well then, oh mister high and mighty. Nature, it creates all things perverse. It created me! It created all things. But here is where the difference comes about, you're not animistic, you're something strong, and able to find alternatives...but do most vampires? No. Your kind is sadistic, and evil, just like mine. Hell, some of your kin is slayed by crosses and holy water!" Ozzy retorts, and then turns to @RavenTLark.
"There is a difference in that little statement. To breath air is not to steal the life from another creature against their will, is it? Vampires, they have to kill to survive? Not at all. In many worlds, where vampires have plenty of means of avoiding hurting others while letting themselves feed enough to stay happy, many of them would willingly kill a person to feed...but hell, there is a monster in all of us....Including you. Some people are strong enough for the saying death before dishonor to take effect. Others, they put their own happiness and survival first...like me. But after all, that's the point trying to be made. None of you are..better, than me. Hell, you may just be worse than me...your monster just hasn't awoken yet." Ozzy says, walking forwards, growing taller as he does, reaching a towering nearly 9 feet tall. Leaning down, he looks down at Raven, grinning. "....So, tell me....Do you truly have the right to reserve judgement, girl?" Ozzy asks, chuckling.

[Wraithblade6]

Mithias rolled his eyes and gave an exasperated sigh. Ozzy was full of so much bullshit, and Mithias had had enough. "Ozzy, I swear if you step one foot out of Hell I'm going to kill you on principle. You know you don't have anything on Bob. Go ahead and spread whatever 'rumors' or 'delusions' you think you have heard, but you are no threat to him. I am sorry about your father, but he did it to himself. He was too volatile and has proven himself untrustworthy. He is better off contained where he is. May Bob have mercy on his soul."

Even if Ozzy knew Bob HAD a daughter, he had no idea what she looked like. Alicve was safe, as long as Mithias kept her identity secret.

Mithias turned like he was going to walk away, ignoring Alice, who seemed to be able to handle herself. "Contain yourself in your grief, Ozzy. Know that I grieve with you, but if you become the same monster that Drac was, then I'm going to have to put an end to you. You're safe in your own Hell though."

[supertinyking]

@Wraithblade6
"If I step out of my hell, you'd better stay out of my way..for when I do, I'll be more powerful than you can handle." Ozzy growled, before turning to where Alice is.
"Now, to kill this bug bitch...." He growls, starting to move forwards towards her, demonic glowing blades forming in his hands, the flames fed by Ozzy's rage, the heat being felt by Raven is extreme, and so does Mithias feel this, if he can feel heat.

[RavenTLark]

@supertinyking@Wraithblade6

"I will reserve judgement all I want, I guess you could even say that topic is really a matter of opinion," Raven snapped at Ozzy, she wasn't on anyone's 'side' but he was getting really annoying very quickly. She wouldn't admit it but she believed Mithias more than she could possibly believe Ozzy. The heat coming off Ozzy was definitely hot but she had gotten used to those sort of temperatures during her time in the Underworld. She wasn't about to get into someone else's business, she had just done that and she was already bored of it, instead she asked Mithias," Where were you before you came here?" Raven walked up to where Mithias was.

[supertinyking]

Saeid is still growling, and seeming pissed.
"....." He spins around, and storms up to the decrypted school, the remains of the Death weapons and Meister's Academy, kicking down the damaged doors, and begins to walk around inside.
((Open rp topic, no Omegans plz.))

[Wraithblade6]

@RavenTLark
The vampire turns around and looks at Raven, and for the first time really looks at her. His skin is nearly white, in sharp contrast to his long black hair. His wild, yellow eyes remind her of an eagle as he focuses on her. He's wearing some kind of an armored vest under a short black trenchcoat, black pants, and has two short swords at his sides that are bladed along a single edge. The air is noticeably cooler around him since he can deflect Ozzy's heat. Also, his mind is a impenetrable wall and his thoughts and emotions cannot be read. To any kind of empath, it would feel like he wasn't even there.

"I was on a world of ice and dragons. It was not my home, but I was dragged there against my will by an enemy, a twisted and vulgar copy of myself. Thankfully that copy is dead." Mithias tilted his head. "Where are you from, Raven? Who are you, and why did you suddenly appear in Ozzy's hell? ... And who is that creature?" Mithias nodded at Alice, as if he didn't know. "A friend of yours?"

[RavenTLark]

@Wraithblade6

Raven wondered at the fact that he had mentioned a copy of himself and didn't understand what he meant by it, she guessed a sort of clone. She wondered if she should answer him but decided that those were basically the things that she had asked him." Have you heard of Hades? Well, lets just say I come from his world, a.k.a, the Underworld, his dominion you could call it. Unfortunately for me I happen to be his daughter, he had me with a mortal making me half God, half human, otherwise known as a demigod or half-blood. This has made me Persephone's least favourite person, actually, she absolutely hates me which is not fun at all, go anywhere near a plant and the plant dies thanks to her."

Raven thought about this for a few seconds and then continued," I don't know why I'm in this dimension or how I got here for that matter of fact, I definitely didn't choose it. No, I have no idea who or what that is, I've never seen it before now. Do you know how to get out of here?"

[thewizardguy]

The creature was definitely a threat. Alice smiled, as she recognized a fellow shapeshifter. It seemed that after all this time, she might have found another with powers similar to hers. That meant that this person might be a link to her past, to her mysterious father. As such, she decided she'd have to go all out. To reveal and use her most powerful form, the one she had created to deal with the mysterious being back at Tsubasa. As she turned back towards the monster the knight had become, he could feel energy emanating from her. And Ozzy, who was approaching from afar, instantly recognized it. It was, unmistakibly, divine. The energy of a Nature Deity.

Alice shot up, her form rapidly growing to titanic proportions. her arms seemed to bulk up, immense rippling muscles forming underneath the thick insect-like armour. A series of long tentacles burst from her backs, their gooey skin dripping with thick acidic liquids, each tentacle ending with a gaping maw. Insectoid eyes surrounded her head, allowing her to see in every direction at once. Her own mouth had been completely removed, making place for what appeared to be some kind of biological cannon. She stood at 20m (65ft) tall, Ozzy's demonic compatriot barely reaching her hips. Her voice emanated from a dozen maws, thundering across the realm. "Oooh, this is going to be fun. I'm thinking I'm going to pummel you, and then you're going to tell me everything you know. And then, if you're really lucky, and I'm feeling nice, I'll stop pummelling you."

As she stepped into a fighting pose, her movements formed a crater, lava lapping uselessly against her clawed feet. The very ground shook under her weight. And it was clear to all present that shit was about to get very, very real.

[thewizardguy]

@Tyki
The creature approached at supersonic speeds, it's movement outdoing even Bahamut. Cosmos estimated it at Mach 2. A dangerous foe to be sure, potentially too strong for a singular Omegan to face. But by attacking them all at once, it had made a fatal mistake. A simple manipulation twisted at the kinetic energy manipulation that launched it forward, altering his trajectory. The being smashed into the ground at Mach 2, an impact that would slow down any being, at least until it figured out just why it had smashed down.

Kihaku was being pushed back by Logar, his flames, burning her as she hissed at him. His twisting blades were met by her constantly transforming body. She had no weapon, for she was the weapon, any surface becoming a blade as he struck it, her arm turning into a blast of shadowy knives to rip at him. But even as she drained Logar's power, she knew that in this war of attrition, she was doomed. His blades emanated light, making them capable of harming her. As such, Cosmos made the decision for her.

Voidwalker and Kihaku appeared at the site of the mysterious being's impact. Even as it stood up from it's crater, it was faced with the two Omegans. Kihaku cursed, but was forced to accept this decision. She was too intelligent to challenge Cosmos, knowing of Void's complete and utter loyalty. She and Void would face whatever this creature was, combining their powers to take it down. Even as she rushed at it, blades forming, Void was focusing. She wouldn't be able to do much for now, but she was clearly working on something.

Bahamut, meanwhile, walked forward to face Logar. "So, turns out I get to fight you anyway. Shall we see how strong you are? Eh?" Smiling, he steps forward, only to dodge around Logar's instant retaliation. "But keep your guard up. You ain't fighting no run-of-the-mill Onikage any more. You're fighting a God of War."
