"Do not concern yourself, Alyt..." Tera Roth shrugged. "I do not blame myself for his actions, only concern myself with how best to defeat him..." He suddenly grinned. "Vecked fought him you know, and lost rather horribly." OOC: Thank you for your patience 13th... EDIT OOC: Go out to the Role-Playing section of the forums, and find the Ultimate Organization thread. Hover your mouse over the page thing to the right of the title and it will tell you your post number.
OOC: I have 498, including this one. BIC: "I've just been worried about something that probably isn't important," Tera Roth said. At Alyt's expression, he felt the need to elaborate. "Back when I was working with Xardius, or Darius as he was called before he was killed, I was also working with a man named Highwind, who I believe Vecked has, er, met. Anyhow, I left for various reasons and Highwind, for some reason that still eludes me, proclaimed a personal vendetta against me and went insane, falling into the deepest darkness I have ever seen." He sighed. "What I've been worried about is Highwind. I can't let him continue murdering innocent people because of me...Though I hardly think it's about me anymore..."
OOC: Yeah, so we could have elder members vote in a superior and 2nd rank, from the elder member ranks. That would work rather well...Then we'd have the lower ranking members as well, who could vote in the elder members. Elder Members = Vote Rank from Normals Superior = Vote Rank from Elders 2nd Rank = Vote Rank from Elders Other Ranks = Post Ranks up to certain level (or maybe not...indefinite levels?) BIC: "A fruit," Tera Roth said. "A holy fruit found only in one place...A place I cannot go due to my condition. That is why I must ask you to retrieve the fruit...It is on the world of Omega..." He tapped his chin. "It is not completely urgent, so go at your convenience, but...I thought it best to ask you now."
"I..." Wait, I promised Vecked...How do I do this? "Recently," Tera Roth started again, "I've had an imbalance in the power play between my dark and light. I'm twilight and twilight requires a fine balance, especially the line I play...The imbalance was towards the dark, so to balance it I need something that will lean me back towards the light..."
OOC: I know, I was just curious, because we could do like an opposite thing with the knights, who are our greatest enemy, right? If we want them to sound Nobodish, we could do like Dusk, Assassin, Dragoon, etc. ranking the original Nobodies in power and stuff, then do Mafia / Military, then do more higher ranking Nobodies, ending with Superior. BIC: "Alyt," Tera Roth said, sighing in relief. "I have something I need to tell you..." OOC: Be back in 5.
OOC: Oh, I get what you were saying...I'm not good at mafia stuff then... BIC: Xardius looked over his shoulder at Geryl. "I'm ready to leave when you are, Geryl..." *** Tera Roth paced the library in the Hollow Bastion castle. He had asked Alyt to meet him here... EDIT OOC: What's the second highest rank of the Enigmatic Knights?
OOC: Like Captain and the like? That would work... EDIT: Especially because I don't think the number of posts is quite right...I have 493 posts....which means the people ahead of me are going to have much more...
OOC: OK, how about this for the next rankings: 50-100 Posts = Warrior 100-150 Posts = Avenger 150-200 Posts = Knight Slayer 200-250 Posts = Elder Member BIC: "Thanks? You would thank someone who gave you pain?" Tera Roth asked, shaking his head. "Strange...and I thought..." A portal opened and Tera stepped through. "I thought he was the only one..." The portal closed and Xardius and Geryl were left in Gongaga Village.
OOC: Sounds good to me...Of course, maybe they just didn't realize there was an RP...I didn't until I couldn't find the Forum Family thread and did a search... But then again, as soon as they post, they wouldn't be a Dusk anymore, so it sounds good. Go ahead. BIC: Tera snorted, and shook his head. "I'm not ruthless like Vecked...let this be the proof!" He nodded towards Angelyn. "Do not worry yourself over her...I hold no strings above you now...I simply wanted to test your moral courage. You hold more valor than even I thought possible..." "In order to fulfill this test, however, I needed to spend a large amount of time studying and preparing for the final match," Tera said. "Hence my agreement with Angelyn, and several others, including Derek, that in order to spend the necessary amount of time in studying them, I would fulfill their greatest wish...Angelyn's was to see you, Geryl." He turned to Xardius. "You, on the other hand, were a pickle. I was forced to sample your memories...But, the Heartless was incomplete. I had to bolster it with the power of twilight to make it more than a match for you, my old friend..." He lowered his head. "I am sorry you had to go through so much turmoil. In the end, I could not control its actions...And that is the fulfillment of my 'plan.'" *** Tera snorted, and nodded. "Whatever...Just remember...Darkness isn't the answer to everything." OOC: Sorry about the length...
OOC: Want some help 13th? I'm good at things like this... BIC: Angelyn paused as she ran towards them, and bowed slightly towards Tera Roth. In a flush, she said, "Thank you for keeping your promise, mister!" She then ran to Geryl. *** Tera Roth snarled something, and let Vecked go. "Blast it all, I don't need more power!" he huffed. "Warn me next time..."
(W/GERYL) "Yes, Gongaga Village," Tera Roth said. "Behold!" Out of one of the houses ran a little girl. She saw Geryl and yelled his name. As she got closer it became clear that she was Angelyn. *** (W/VECKED) Tera Roth moved impossibly fast, picking up Vecked by the cuff and slamming him against a wall. "What did you do?" he snarled. "I don't like having random liquids thrown on my body..." EDIT: OOC: That would be stinkin' awesome 13th! Make it! Make it! Make it! *continues indefinitely*
(W/GERYL) Tera flipped out his own sword and blocked Geryl's blows, before counterattacking and sending Geryl back towards Xardius. With a grunt, he swung down and the world upended. Suddenly, they were in Gongaga Village... *** (W/VECKED) Tera sighed. "The wrong hands meaning us..."
(W/GERYL) "Tera Roth..." Xardius said as he stepped out of the portal. He pulled out Chomper as Tera Roth turned. "You will pay today." Tera Roth didn't reply. He simply stared at the two warriors. "You fools," he whispered. "You shouldn't have come...There is no cause for you to kill me!" *** (W/VECKED) "Ex? Oh, you mean Geryl's dark side...How...wonderful...Can't say I'm very enthused...From what I've heard, he isn't the greatest diplomat in the world," Tera Roth said. He sighed and shook his head. "At least the number will even out more against the Organization...They're almost getting dangerous with their stupidity."
Xardius smiled and opened a portal. "I know exactly where he is..." he said as he stepped through. *** Tera Roth stared at the liquid. "Thank you..." He looked up. "Perhaps we need more members to our team..." He tapped his chin thoughtfully. "I believe there is a sufficiently warped soul in Hollow Bastion." OOC: This might get confusing. The first one will be the present Tera Roth, the second one will be a conversation with Xane with iffy dating on it, and the third one, if it continues, will be the conversation with Vecked that is in the past.
Xardius slowly walked up to Geryl. "I too have nothing left," he said slowly. "Come with me Geryl...We must find Tera Roth and kill him for his acts..."
OOC: Nulix, this is just in Xane's memory kind of thing...Tera Roth is talking to you, while in Xane's memory talking to Xane... So you don't need to disappear. Anyway, I'll put my replies to you under the three stars. *** Those. Astericks. Whatever. BIC: "No you don't..." Tera Roth said, narrowing his eyes. "Your failures in the past have only shown your unworthiness of fighting me..." He folded his arms and smirked. "You couldn't even stand up to *fuzz out*..." Tera Roth laughed. *** "The book that you were telling everyone I was going to destroy?" Tera Roth said, arching an eyebrow. "And that they need to stop me from doing so?" He sighed. "Vecked, I told you my plan...Why can't you tell me yours...We're supposed to trust each other." He shook his head. "I'll destroy your stupid book if you tell me what you're planning..." EDIT: OOC: Yes Soxas everyone is at the Coliseum...just not Tera Roth, Vecked, and Xane...
Tera Roth stepped out of the portal, into the darkness that swirled in the nether world of creation and ruin. With a slight curl of his lip, he walked forward to the other figure, stopping several yards away, hesitating. With a sigh, he flipped off his hood. "You wanted to see me?" he asked the figure with what could be described best as exasperation in his voice. *** EDIT: BIC: Tera turned to see Vecked. "Yes, what is it?"
OOC: Now that the tournament is officially over, we can all do something else! Yeah! I really don't have anything to do with the storyline right now, so I'll just hang out.
OOC: All right, see you Wing. BIC: Xardius leaped forward and clashed with his Heartless. Both swords rang with sheer power, and Xardius summoned as much power as he could hold at a time, slamming it out with each blow on his Heartless. His Heartless didn't seem to care. It spun, snicking Xardius' wrist, then bashed him seventeen times in the chest, before slicing him into the air, and ripping into him from above and behind. Xardius hit the ground with a heavy thud. Bleeding from countless wounds, he didn't let it stop him. His Heartless was a dead being. The Heartless seemed amused by Xardius' attempts to destroy him. More wounds appeared on Xardius, but Xardius had yet to land a blow on his Heartless. Finally, with a vicious thrust, Xardius blew past his Heartless' guard and into the chest of it. The Heartless just laughed and disappeared under the blow, reappearing and snap-kicking Xardius back and forth around the arena, before finally impaling him and sending immense ice energy through the sword blowing Xardius back into a wall... Xardius didn't get up. *** Tera Roth frowned. "That Heartless is too powerful..." he muttered. With a grunt, he flipped into the arena. "Creation under my power," Tera Roth boomed. "You have fulfilled your duty. Dismiss yourself." "I think not," the Heartless sneered. "You hold no power over me!" Tera Roth smirked and snapped his fingers. Nothing happened. Tera frowned and concentrated, snapping his fingers again. The Heartless laughed and launched itself toward Tera. Tera didn't move. His eyes bulged in fury. "You insolent little puppet!" Tera screamed as the Heartless swung at his chest. "How dare you...?" The Heartless slammed into Tera, and they both fell through the twilight corridor that Tera opened. It slammed shut with finality. *** Xardius slowly picked himself up from the rubble. Without a word, he slowly walked to his seat and sat down in it... He closed his eyes, and leaned forward, placing his hands over his face... He had failed again. The last light of hope he had kept from the darkness finally went out.
Tera Roth leaned forward intently. "Now," he said, eyes gleaming. "Now for the final match..." *** Xardius stepped out of the shadows, passing by Wing and Coa in silence. He knew what was coming... He only feared one thing. And it was smiling at him. Cloaked in shadow, it was exactly as he remembered it...which was perhaps the point. Inky darkness swirled around it's feral smile. Pitted crimson armor tinged with darkness... "Are you happy to see me?" Xardius' Heartless asked, swinging out the massive sword it carried that mirrored Chomper to the minute detail. Xardius didn't answer, simply unhooked Chomper, and pointed it at the Heartless. "I'll take that as a no," the Heartless said. "Very well..."
