Enigma walked up to Vecked, his right hand slowly withdrawing a dark crystal. "Vecked, Vecked..." He shook his head. "Whatever gave you the idea that I'm a pawn for anyone?" Faster than the eye could follow, his kick cracked Vecked in the chest, and Vecked went flying through the gummi ship walls, out into the air, falling... A split-second later, Enigma was jumping after him, his expression calm as he flipped the dark crystal around his fingers, humming to himself... EDIT OOC: Urgh, dinner, just a sec.
Enigma arrived on the world of Midgar instantly. Within a few moments, he was talking to all the world's leaders. Within a few minutes, he was broadcasting live across on every television set across the worlds. "This is an emergency broadcast from the world of Midgar," Enigma said, feeling that this was one of the more brilliant things Scourge had ever done. Midgar was one of the worlds most objected to Scourge's rule. "All across the worlds, hundreds of men and women lie dead. The blame has been put on Scourge, claimed to have become bored with the peace, and so has begun ruthlessly slaughtering those he would deem unworthy, like one of those great holocausts that some of your worlds have been home to in the past. Many of you will accept this as truth; some of you will not." "I am not here to dissuade you of your opinion," Enigma said. "I am here to deliver one message, and one message alone." He paused, taking a deep breath, his eyes closing, and for an instant, there was absolute silence. Then his eyes opened, and he spoke the death sentence. "Scourge will take full responsibility for everything that has happened this day," Enigma said, and the connection ended. *** "Novice," Enigma said, from inside the ship, stepping from the shadows. "Put the nice man down."
OOC: Well, I had this great post planned...and it got completely deleted...So, in a few minutes, I will try to recreate it. In the meantime, somebody explain what's going on...I'm a little confused.
OOC: OK, here's my reply to all this. Yes, I moved it from the last page. BIC: Scourge watched the screen in silence, Enigma behind him. "This is live," Enigma said quietly. Scourge's shoulders began shaking, and Enigma's brows twitched. "Hmm?" Scourge's laughter erupted into the room. "Clever boy," Scourge said. "But I'm afraid you've misunderstood...Enigma, here is what you will do." Enigma's skeptical expression turned into one of grim understanding... "Consider it done," Enigma said, and twisted abruptly, stepping through the portal he'd just opened. *** Xardius whispered to Crissilia. "This could get messy. Let's go." Crissilia nodded and opened another portal, allowing the giant warrior and herself to leave.
OOC: Put my post like a couple of ones up, chronologically speaking. Also realize that it was only the glass heading for Xardius and Crissilia, which was who I was referring to. But I didn't do a good job of it...which is why I'm clarifying...Geez, that was the lamest post I've posted in a long time...
OOC: 'Kay, I think I can right now...My computer's being really lame... BIC: Xardius stepped from the portal Crissilia had provided in time to see the bodies crash through the glass. Crissilia was half a second behind him, and in moments, had used wind to sweep up the glass before it could kill anyone... Xardius watched Vecked stand. "You've got to be kidding me," Xardius said. "Out of sight, now." Crissilia sucked the glass into a smooth sphere, and pocketed it, diving after Xardius...out of sight, of course.
OOC: I certainly hope I can come through with all these plot twists...
OOC: Computer completely froze. Ick. BIC: Enigma shrugged, then smiled. "Maybe it means your time is just...beginning." He stared out at the view for a few moments, then slapped his thighs and stood. "Back to work, see you around."
"Huh," Enigma said. "I suppose I could say Sorion, and save my neck. But I know better. I have a feeling he'll appear soon enough." "As for the second question, I have a feeling things are going to come to a head soon, but before that, something is going to happen. I don't know what, but something..." He muttered to himself for a moment, then opened his mouth to answer the third question. "The third...As long as I have known Scourge, I can honestly say yes. But it's not for the reasons you think it is..." Enigma said. "He cares, but he doesn't. He is a man of extremes, and his reasons are all his own." Enigma looked at Novice. "Does that satisfy you?"
OOC: That's fine... BIC: "To save all of this," Enigma said, gesturing to the area around them. "To destroy the Sea of Chaos, my friend, that is slowly oozing toward us." Enigma sat down, and sighed. "This division among us is very troubling. My efforts are...minimal to the front. Scourge is holding it nearly all on his own. We need the Ultimate Organization to step in..." He shook his head. "Unfortunately, I'm beginning to think that their short-sightedness will be our undoing."
OOC: He can talk to Enigma...Enigma can be resting at the moment...
OOC: He's...around...But like Xardius and Crissilia, he won't be participating in this battle. Xardius and Crissilia are going to be training (again), and Enigma's will be revealed later, as it's pretty important. Ho hum...So, Pirate, how far are you on Chapter 2?
OOC: They're about as powerful as a UO member or so, like Tera Roth and Highwind. There's about the same number too. Back in the day of the Enigmatic Knights, they were the elite division that was sent in (only one at a time, or two at most) to take care of undercover operations, really dangerous stuff, or blatant blow-it-up-and-don't-get-killed missions. I will now reveal their names. BIC: Tera Roth, Highwind, and Tyre saluted the remaining members of the Guardians of Larenska: Magna, another Guardian of Fire; Patrick, Guardian of Earth; Shiva, Guardian of Wind; Simon, Guardian of Ice; Ziya, Guardian of Sand. They saluted back, then turned towards the canyon. "Now we wait for them to arrive," Simon said softly...
OOC: Yep. Took me like ten minutes to post this. I think my computer's baking itself in layers of computer grease. I don't want to even know what my CPU usage is right now...
"Well, well," Xardius said, leaning down over his extended knee and smirking. "Looks like it's all in place." Crissilia shrugged. "I still have doubts that things will turn out the way you hypothesized." Xardius chuckled. "Have faith, my darling. You're a goddess, right? People have faith in you...try to have a little faith in them." Crissilia muttered to herself, probably over the fact that Xardius knew she was a goddess. Xardius pulled out his cell phone, and dialed a number. "Hey, it's me," Xardius said into the phone. "Yeah, right now. Cosmo Canyon...................Faster than I thought you'd be. Good luck." He hung up the phone. *** At Cosmo Canyon, at the brink of the destruction, a portal opened, and three men stepped through. A few feet away, another portal opened, and out stepped three other men and two women, all dressed in armor similar to the armor Xardius had worn so long ago... "Man, it's good to see all of you," Tera Roth said. "But, there really isn't time for chit-chat. Ready?"
OOC: I have to go unfortunately...some family meeting or whatnot. So much for me being here tonight...*grumbles*
OOC: Well, Crissilia is technically Wing's other, but no one knows that except for Wing and Xardius (of course.) The reason Xardius knows so much about Wing is complicated, but it has to do with their powers (fire and wind). And the fact that they've spent so much time together, it's hard not to know when the other one is around. Um, what should I write?
OOC: *sigh* Yes, he must. About Wing anyway. And Xardius is going to be gone a lot, so it won't matter all that much. You'll be busy with other characters of mine. And Crissilia, which is Wing's. Yayz. Anyway, I now must go, so PM me the picture links, Pirate, and see you all tomorrow people.
OOC: Well, football is for the guys, with lots of pads and muscles and rawrs and smashes and tackles. And cheerleading is for girls, with lots of sexy oohs and aws and flashing of legs and other things I don't care to talk about. So they switched the two and called it Powderpuff. Cheerleading for guys, and football for girls. Don't ask me why. I don't get it.
OOC: Yeah, I'm here for ten minutes. Yayz for me. BIC: Xardius was confused as Crissilia told him about Wing...er, Falcus. But he let it slide. If Wing wanted to hide himself, fine. Xardius just couldn't understand why Wing thought he would be able to hide from Xardius, considering the fact that his power was pretty much blatantly screaming to him that it was Wing under the hood. But, then again, Xardius had had lots of time to practice knowing who Wing was. "Back to practice," Xardius said. "I guess we're not leaving just yet..." OOC: Well, that's my plot. Since I'm not here for that long...*sigh* I'll be here tomorrow, but this week was Homecoming, so it's really hectic. I've been dragged everywhere...Today was the Powderpuff Game, where the one team won 20-something to 0. Not much of a game.
