OOC: Yayz, more plot movement! BIC: Of course, nothing happened except for Enigma sighing and speaking up. "If you hadn't noticed, Adumbral, they don't care," he said. "So just tell me what you want so I can get it over with, why don't you? If you want me for my body, I'm afraid I'll have to pass..." OOC: lol, XD
OOC: Sorry I had to go last night...spur of the moment thing...Hopefully, I'll be able to be on longer today...and no I'm not really on right now...(Not that anyone else is, XD) BIC: Xardius saw Heimdall and saluted the Asgardian as he fell, then ran off through the soot towards his fellow members. *** Enigma, of course, was simply standing there, looking at Adumbral like he was an idiot. Azull, of course, was simply standing there, looking at Adumbral like he was an idiot. Zaxor, Trent, and Falcon again exchanged glances and kept their mouths shut. Which all basically oozed out the feeling "Whatever you want to do worthless maggot."
OOC: *sigh* Gotta go...I'll just leave it at that...Have at it guys...Sorry I can't be on here longer...
OOC: The Brotherhood doesn't really talk much, do they...except for Enigma...and Azull apparently... BIC: Xardius stretched out and felt it too. "Don't let him do you in," he said, saluting Heimdall. "I leave this in your hands." Running forward, he leaped down into the ash and soot, coughing slightly. *** Meanwhile, Tera Roth was gasping against the wall, and Tyre and Highwind were attempting to get up. "Hurts," Tyre muttered. "You're telling...me," Tera Roth said. "This sucks." "I say...we just release already..." Tyre said. "Can't..." Tera Roth wheezed. "Brotherhood's...gotta block up..." "What?" Highwind said, sitting up and regretting it. "I tried...earlier...when I felt that...wave thing," Tera Roth said, sucking in air and finally succeeding in getting his wind back. "I couldn't. There was a block up. The same time as Mr. Illusionist arrived." "In the flesh you might add," Tyre said. "Wonder why?" "Probably an illusion wasn't enough," Tera Roth said. "Had to get the job done himself." "No running away," Highwind muttered, and Tera Roth nodded. "He can't just...teleport." "No, because teleports are traceable, so unless he's planning on not being in the middle of a fight when he leaves, he's going to have some other conventional excuse to run away with," Tera Roth said. "I say we find it." "What about Vadoozine?" Highwind asked. "The UO will take care of him," Tyre said for Tera Roth. "And they'll get Orb back. We tried. He's not our problem anymore. Not somebody who comes back from the dead." "It's not unlimited," Tera Roth said. "From what I hear, he's already come back several times, leaving him with only one or two more times left." "But he gets better every time he comes back!" Tyre groaned, standing up and helping Tera Roth to his feet, who helped Highwind up. "It doesn't matter," Tera Roth said. "First, we find Azull's back-up plan." The three trudged off, muttering to each other about the unfairness of the world...
OOC: What a party, XD. BIC: "It seems this party's over," Azull said, stepping up to Zaxor, Trent, and Falcon. "But let's let it go out with a bang. Destroy the Ultimate Organization where they stand..." "I think not," Enigma's quiet voice said as he stepped over rubble. "Enigma," Azull said. "What are you doing here?" "Proving a point," Enigma said, reaching inside his cloak and drawing out a dark crystal, drawing a hiss from Azull. "You'd dare...!?" Azull snarled. "This, as I keep telling my UO friends, is what the tournament is all about," Enigma said, holding the crystal in the palm of his hand. "Scourge will destroy you!" Azull growled. "Only if I lose..." Enigma smiled slightly. "Not even you can take all of us," Azull hissed. "I wonder," Enigma said, his eyes narrowing. "Fine!" Azull snapped. "I will postpone the destruction for now, but your pathetic attempts to stop us will be for nothing in the end." "We shall see," Enigma said. "For now, I'll just stick around to make sure you keep your word..." The remaining three Brotherhood members exchanged glances and wordlessly followed the two members with their eyes, judging ruthlessly...
OOC: Ah, I was gonna kill Ymir...But I don't kill major people without permission, don't worry. BIC: As Nulix and Xane were talking, all the flames suddenly went out. As Loki charged, Xardius smiled slightly. Then the torrent of flame erupted from a space one meter in front of him, as all the flame he'd collected rushed through a two-meter wide circle, slamming straight into Loki and obliterating the rest of the ice giants instantly, and merging with the fire giants, leaving nothing left... The flame dissipated as soon as it had come, but that was more than enough time... *** Tera Roth stood, panting, bleeding from dozens of cuts, his vision blurry. Wiping blood from his eyes with his near useless left hand, he clenched his fingers tighter around the single kunai he now held. Before him, the man stood, the sword pointed at him, not a scratch on him. "Dang...you..." Tera Roth snarled. "Who...do...you think...you are?" "Where is it?" the man patiently asked. "Don't make me repeat myself once again." Tera Roth gritted his teeth, trying to buy time. The man was good, with a large number of throwing knives, and his large sword, which held many surprises, several of which had given the cuts on Tera Roth. Like, say for instance, the fact that his sword could split in two, the blade could disconnect from the handle on a chain, and the little spikes on the side could fly through the air like shurikens at a target. Around them, the hallway lay strewn with ruin from their fight, and the roof creaked ominously. "General of Division 5," Tera Roth panted. "What a..." "I'm through talking," the man said, pointing his sword at Tera Roth. "Where IS IT!?" At that moment, Tera Roth heard voices. "Coming right up!" Tera Roth said, launching himself at the man. The man snarled wordlessly and ripped his sword in two, scissoring at Tera Roth in between the blades. Tera Roth leaped and kicked out, hitting both swords and stopping them cold while his kunai lunged forward and hitting the man at approximately his collarbone. The man roared in pain and released the shurikens, knocking Tera Roth back into a wall with shuriken stabbing into his left shoulder, which he used as cover. Gritting his teeth, Tera Roth simply waved goodbye with his good hand. Tyre and Highwind were suddenly THERE, Tyre kicking straight off over the man's head, catching Orb in midair and stuffing him into a bag, while Highwind rammed straight into the man, blasting him back with sheer intensity and leaving him with several long cuts. The man roared again and ferociously attacked Highwind, but Highwind was having none of it. Within moments, his katana an unbelievable blur of speed, the man was disarmed and mortally wounded. As the man slumped to the ground, Highwind cleaned his blade and slapped it into its sheath. "Tera," he said, walking over to his injured friend. "Where's your sword?" "Ah, there's the question," Tera Roth said, grunting as he pushed away from the wall. "Tyre, help me out?" Tyre nodded, and sent a surge of electricity through the bag, leaving it limp. "That'll keep it quiet..." Holding out a hand, he immersed Tera Roth in a bubble of pure water, drawing out all the infections and sealing the wounds. "It'll take a while, since I'm no healer, but at least you won't die..." Tera Roth nodded his thanks as the bubble collapsed. The man laughed. Highwind spun, Tera Roth's eyes widened, and Tyre slumped to the ground as the man ripped his still-split sword from his body and picked up the bag. Highwind's katana was out in a flash, but the man was faster this time, burying it into Highwind's shoulder and slicing him to the ground. Tera Roth backed up and considered his options. The man turned and left. Tera Roth let out a very naughty word and began the only healing spell he knew... *** The man knew where he was going... "It's time to repay your debt," he snarled. "Darxess..."
OOC: Well here goes... BIC: "What is this, the apocalypse!?" Tyre yelled, watching the spiral of dust carried by the speeding wind towards the center of the arena. "Probably," Highwind said. "At least, their version of it." "That's great," Tyre said. "Well...this is sure to wake it up." At that moment, a very large crash was heard down the hallway. "Crap," Tyre said. "Here it comes." Highwind pulled out his sword. "It isn't going to be happy." "I wouldn't be bloody happy either if I got kidnapped by Tera Roth!" Tyre yelled over the storm as a white blur ripped free of their lower door and sped towards them. *** Tera Roth raced down the hallway, fighting a throng of severely frightened people. He could feel Highwind and Tyre's energies spiking, which meant that it must have woken up and was fighting them. Suddenly, the people were gone and Tera Roth began to sprint down the hall. The next instant, he felt a sharp pain in his back and he stumbled into a wall, crashing to the ground. Stumbling to his feet, he turned to face the knife thrower. A man with silver hair, glowing green eyes, and the biggest sword Tera Roth had ever seen, including Xardius' Chomper, stood there, three more kunais in his hand. "Where is it?" the man asked. Tera Roth, in response, yanked the knife from his back and went for it. The man didn't flinch, just dodged Tera Roth's rather weak slice, and roundhouse kicked him into a wall. "Where is it?" he repeated. "I know who you are," Tera Roth said. "I also know better than to ask what you're doing here." "Where is it!?" the man growled, flicking a kunai at Tera Roth. Tera Roth flipped backwards as the knife grazed his side. Grabbing the knife, Tera Roth spun both by the holes at the bottom of their hilts. "I don't think I should tell you," Tera Roth said, smiling slightly. Inside, he was desperately trying to fight the pain of the wound in his back, buying time for the healing spell to take effect. "I know what you're trying to do," the man said. "And I won't let you." Tera Roth stopped spinning the kunai and moved into a ready position, the healing spell finally taking effect. "Too late," he said smiling. The man slammed the other two kunai into the floor, and with a roar, raced forward towards Tera Roth, the massive sword swinging too fast to even see at its target... Tera Roth's eyes turned cat-like, and his smile feral. Oh, how they danced. *** Highwind's head snapped around as he deflected another blow. "Tera," he said. "Keep your eyes on the target!" Tyre snapped. "We can't help him by letting it escape!" The "it" in question socked Tyre in the gut with a quick maneuver and sped past them. "BLAAAAAAASSSSST IT AAAAAALLLLLL!" Tyre roared, sprinting after it. "GET BACK HERE!" "Hang on Tera!" Highwind said, following Tyre. *** Xardius, at that moment, had Shurunrai, in its sheath of course, in one hand and Chomper in the other, which had changed form once again to a more sleek broadsword with a slight curved edge at the tip. He waited silently for Loki to make the first move, not even caring that Heimdall was there. Then an idea hit him. A slow smile crossed his face. The fires around them began to slowly sputter and die...
OOC: Mentally kicking computer...I've gotta go after this... BIC: Enigma ran for the arena. "We need to stop Loki from inducing Ragnarok...It's part of Azull's plan to destroy the Ultimate Organization!" *** Xardius beat them to it. "Punk," he said, landing right in front of Loki. "I'm gonna kick you to the moon and back..."
OOC: That's all right...You're meant to be mostly... BIC: Enigma struggled to his feet as the "wave" dissipated. "Ugh," he muttered. Utilizing his darkness powers, he was instantly next to Novice. "Novice...I don't know what that was, but I have a guess. It means...it's breaking through. We have to hurry..."
OOC: Curse my slow internet!!! Here's what. BIC: "Xardius!" Tera Roth called, skidding to a stop as the powerful warrior emerged from the dormitories. "Can you feel this!?" "Yes, but I don't think everyone can," Xardius said. "Crissilia didn't even roll over." "What is it?" Tera Roth asked, gritting his teeth. "I think...it's the Brotherhood's goal," Xardius said. "Whatever it is..." "Something strong enough to affect us all the way out here..." Tera Roth shook his head. "Why can't anyone else feel it?" "I think only those in tune can feel it. Like sound, there's only a certain wave frequency that people can hear, or in power's sense, levels of power. This level is very low, but we can feel the current behind it," Xardius theorized. "Whatever it is, it's being kept low key...There, it's gone." Tera Roth nodded. "It was either a failure or a test." "Or neither," Xardius said. "Never expect the obvious." *** Enigma groaned as he struggled to sit up. "Scourge..." he moaned. "What is going on....?" *** Azull wiped sweat off his face and heaved a sigh of relief. He wouldn't have to...No matter. He stepped forward, moving quietly towards the arena. *** Highwind and Tyre moved down to a lower-grade dormitory, opening their door there and walking in. "How is it?" Highwind asked. Tyre looked it over. "Fine. Still shut down, thank heavens. I was worried that would affect the spell somehow." "I hope we don't have to keep it much longer," Highwind said. "I've been getting the chills lately." "Yes," Tyre said. "Well, good. It's fine, so we can leave." Highwind shrugged. They both stepped out of the door, locked it, and began walking towards the arena. *** "By the way," Xardius asked. "What are you doing here?" "Oh, uh," Tera Roth said. "I was sent to help you guys, er, get Orb back." "Really?" Xardius said, his eyebrows raising. "I find that hard to believe..." Tera Roth wasn't as panic-stricken as before, but he still had to swallow audibly. "Believe what you want. I've gotta go." And he walked off, leaving Xardius staring after him with hard eyes...
OOC: All right, here we go. BIC: At that exact moment in time, thirteen things happened. *** Xardius woke up from his cat nap with a feeling of utter urgency. Hissing, he made sure Crissilia was still asleep and slipped out of his room... *** Scourge gritted his teeth, and sweat fell on the floor... *** Enigma doubled over in agony, his breath suddenly come hard and fast, his mouth open as he sucked in air... *** Dark clouds began forming... *** Tera Roth stopped in mid stride, and turned to look out a window, his expression intense... *** Highwind and Tyre gave each other knowing glances and ran outside their room... *** Inexplicably, all things that read time stopped working... *** Every animal within 100 miles of the arena turned and bolted... *** A healthy infant was found mysteriously dead on one of the neighboring worlds... *** Several hundred people never woke up from a nightmare that became reality in their sleep, their family finding them dead in their beds from horrible wounds... *** Leaves fell from the trees as if they were never connected, and the branches withered... *** The air turned hot and sticky with moisture... *** And Azull the Illusionist stepped from his portal into Asgard.
OOC: Which one did you get? Sorry about my slowness to respond, I had to finish some homework. EDIT: Bah, I'll probably have to go before you see this. Post it anyway, and I'll respond tomorrow.
OOC: Amen about that. But if he says he's back, he's back. Yayz. XD Well, I can say if Ulian dies that easily, he's not a first-class Brotherhood member...more like third-class...Yes I'm creating classes now. Azull is second-class FYI. Anyway, expect more on this, as I'll probably help Nulix with this just like I'm helping Xegreny with his plot, Pirate with his, Wing with his, and Darxess with his, all the while running my own show. Mwaha, I'm just good at this.
Enigma was sitting on a wall, drinking a soda. "Yeah, go!" he called, smiling slightly. "Beat him!" *** Xardius picked up Crissilia. "I'll take her to my room. Heaven knows I'm haven't even looked at the place. I'll see you guys later."
I need to leave before I have a breakdown, Tera Roth thought. "I, uh, have a match right now, so I, uh, um, gotta, um, go," Tera Roth said. "Nice seeing you both." And he zoomed off. Before he rounded the corner, he stopped and turned around, and for an instant, Darryl von Karrte-Tera Roth's facade was gone. He turned, his eyes hard and glittering, his mouth quirked in a small smile. "Oh, and...Darxess. Don't disappoint me." And then he was gone, though resounding crashes and yelled apologies were heard down the hall... Xardius and Crissila stepped from a portal, Xardius pretty much holding Crissilia up. "Well," Xardius said. "Glad to see you're out of the hospital, Bellatrix. Darxess, glad to see you're alive."
Tera Roth went through three expressions, with varying colors. First he looked embarrassed, reddening slightly, then looked somewhat panic stricken, going white, and then his color returned as he slammed his public face on. "Hello, Bellatrix," Tera Roth said. "Out of the hospital I see." Then Darxess was there, and Tera Roth's eyes bulged. He very nearly fainted. He refrained. He tried not to stammer. "A-a-a-a-a-a-a-and Darxess," he said, bringing his voice back into normal range. "H-how are you? I heard, er, Orb went, er, missing and, er, was assigned to, uh, help you, um, find it...yeah..."
OOC: OK. BIC: Tera Roth wandered around the halls, running into random people and apologizing. He wasn't looking for anything in particular, but after he ran into a rather pretty woman who dropped everything, fell on the floor, and blushed furiously while making hasty apologies, Tera Roth decided to get his head in the game. Helping the servant pick up her things and apologizing himself, Tera Roth began taking notice of his surroundings. Which was when he noticed... OOC: Entrance of a UO member foreplay, mwaha!
OOC: Great vid, Hidden. Tera Roth. As I said, we haven't seen him in a while.
OOC: You decide. I'm open to anything right now...maybe something to do with Tera Roth. He hasn't made an appearance in forever. Let's see...how many behind-the-scenes are there? There's the Brotherhood, the other two organizations, and Tera Roth. And Loki. Krazy.
OOC: Well, that was quite a exit Wing...I'll be back later, OK? Just checking in real quick.
