Xardius shook his head and ran back into battle. He swiped at Hades but his sword simply passed right through him. Hades laughed and backhanded him. "Bellatrix!" Xardius said. "We gotta distract him!" Hades laughed again and spat. "If you wanted to distract me, you shouldn't have told me you were going to!" Hades laughed, charging at Xardius and smacking him again into Bellatrix. Xardius winked at Vexneah, who was standing up. The wink seemed to say, Now we got him distracted, CONK HIM ON THE BLINKIN' HEAD!
Xardius laughed and pulled out Chomper. "Charge!" he cried and the three rushed Hades. Fire spat out, but Chomper simply spun and sent them spinning back into Hades. Chomper bit into Hades, and he recoiled. Flame hit Xardius and he hit the wall behind him. Getting up, he saw Bellatrix and Vexneah beginning their own attack.
Xardius shrugged. "Personally," he said, "I don't have a clue about what's going on." Hades was stalking towards them, flames spurting from him. "But I'm guessing that ugly over there won't back down till we crack his head and teach him not to mess with the Ultimate Organization...You up for it you two?"
Xardius heard Bellatrix and Vexneah come in the portal after him. Hades' hands clasped his shoulder, and Xardius exploded into movement. Hades yelped in pain as both of his hands were twisted around, then stumbled back as Xardius booted him in the chest. "Don't touch me," Xardius growled. Hades' face contorted with fury and fire exploded everywhere. Xardius flipped backwards from the flames, shielding Bellatrix and Vexneah from the scourge of flame.
Xardius turned from the argument and walked towards the dark portal that Hercules had mentioned. Stepping into it, he found himself in a dark area. Immediately, a green and a pink devil jumped on him from either side. "What are you doing here?" they snarled at him. Xardius simply smashed both in the face, and they fell of him, unconscious instantly. Walking forward, Xardius nearly walked into a pillar of blue flame and suddenly, the big blue dude was there. "Um," Xardius said, "you Hades?" Hades nodded. "What are you doing here?" Hades asked, smiling wickedly. "Trying to find some dumb map that you've probably singed with your dumb hair that looks like you stole from a Barbie," Xardius said, folding his arms. "Oh," Hades said, still grinning, "we're going to get along fine..." Hades' hands suddenly shot out, reaching for Xardius. "First we'll take a piece of your soul...."
Xardius scratched his head. "I think you got the wrong organization...We haven't done anything terribly bad...yet."
"Always worked for me," Xardius said, tapping the Oathkeeper. "But maybe in this situation...Do you know where we can find this guy?" Xardius asked, pulling out the map and pointing to the drawing of the big blue dude. "Hades?" Hercules asked, scratching his head. "Um, you sure you want to meet him?" "It says to on the map," Xardius shrugged. "All right, then," Hercules said. He pointed at a portal. "Follow that to the underworld, where Hades lives..." Xardius looked at Wing, and shrugged. "Sorry."
OOC: Yeah, light, welcome back. We're on Olympus Coliseum, if you want to join in. BIC: Hercules looked confused, and Phil crossed his arms. "You're not Sora," he huffed. Xardius looked himself up and down. "You're right. I'm Xardius, a sarcastic know-it-all that can kick your butt any time, anywhere." Phil huffed up, and Xardius looked over at Wing, who was giving him an exasperated look. Xardius shrugged. He couldn't help picking fights with everyone he met. "Well, then," Phil said, "I'll help you find this map if you fight Hercules here...and win." Hercules looked from Phil to Xardius and said to Phil, "Now, Phil, be nice..." "What?" Xardius said, folding his arms. "Don't think I can win?" Hercules chuckled. "Let's just say...no, I don't think you can. I don't think any of you could win against me...even all at once." "Whatever," Xardius growled. "If you're too wimpy..." Hercules' eyes narrowed. "I usually don't get angry, but for you I might make an exception..." "Bring it on pretty boy," Xardius laughed.
OOC: All right...Sorry, I shouldn't have posted we'd arrived yet. Let's just say we arrived after Wing said let's go or whatever. Move my post done here or something. Anyway... BIC: Xardius lowered the ramp and climbed out. A massively muscled man in a mini skirt and a sleeveless shirt was walking up to them, with the fat goat thing walking towards them. "Let me guess," Xardius said to himself, "the man in the skirt is Hercules, and the goat thing is Phil..." He scratched his head as the two approached.
"Well, I guess we could have explored," Xardius said over his shoulder. "But it stunk, and I didn't want to spend any more time getting shot by darts. My butt's numb now, you know." Olympus Coliseum warped into view, and Xardius directed the ship down to nestle just inside the Coliseum arena. Immediately, a fat short goat-guy thing ran at them, screaming profanities and banging on their ship. "SORA!" the goat-thing screamed. "If that's you, get out of the way! We're holding a tournament!" Xardius rolled his eyes, and nudged back out of the arena and over the building in the way, nestling into the main hall. "All right, everybody get out...And who's Sora?" Xardius wondered to himself.
"Yeah, I still got it," Xardius, stepping onto the gummi ship, and pulling darts out of his backside. "Here you go. AND STOP LAUGHING WING!" "Anyway," he said walking towards the pilot's chair, "looks like our next stop is the Olympus Coliseum...It has a big blue dude on it. Guess that's Hades. Maybe Hades has the next piece...?" Xardius put the coordinates in and warped... OOC: Is that OK with everyone? Maybe we should each go through a world that we want to go to and that will be the next piece, and then after everyone's done, we'll find Retlaw on his own separate world. Sound good?
"If you don't," Xardius growled, "I'll paint your bright blue butt bright orange." Rafiki ignored him. "Where you seek is on this map..." He produced a piece of cloth. Xardius grabbed it in his mouth, and turned around walking back towards the gummi ship. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his rear end. Turning around, he saw Rafiki with a dart gun, about ready to shoot him again. "Hey cut that out you OW! stupid monkey!" Xardius yelped again and took off. Rafiki laughed and got on Simba again. Simba walked off, Rafiki laughing his head off.
OOC: Cool, help me mug Rafiki for the map lol
"Yeah," Xardius said, nodding. "I saw a picture of him once in a book. Seems like he's been around for centuries almost..." "And I was serious, Wing, you do have a big roar..." Then under his breath, Xardius muttered, "And horrible breath. We're going to have a brushing teeth tutorial back on the gummi ship..." The baboon hopped down and walked up to the group. He grabbed Xardius by the head and yanked his head down. "Let me look into your eyes and see your soul," the baboon stated. Xardius cocked an eyebrow, and bit the monkey's nose. Rafiki smacked Xardius over the head. "Ow, bad cheetah!" Rafiki yelped, smacking Xardius some more. "Stop that you fat head and just give us the next piece of map so we can leave this stinky place, it stinks like a herd of elephants just dunged here, and find the mage Retlaw!"
OOC: A wimpy lion...Pretty slick. BIC: Xardius turned around. "Yeah, he left. You got a big roar...No, wait, he's coming back...with Rafiki, whose bonking him on the head with a stick..."
Xardius nearly collided with Wing as he was attempting to walk, Vexneah right behind him. "Uh, Wing, we got a problem..." A roar behind him caused Xardius to turn. "I, uh, insulted a certain lion *coughSimbacough*'s bad breath and now he wants to kill me...Good thing I'm faster right?" Xardius laughed as best he could as a cheetah. OOC: Cool you're back!
Xardius glanced at Vexneah, who was having troubles on all fours it looked like, then at Nulix, who was staring into space, and then at Oxyrt and Wing, who were rolling on the ground, biting at each other. Well, this should be fun, Xardius thought sarcastically. "Vexneah," Xardius said, "just run like this." Xardius loped a little, then turned back to Vexneah, who copied him. "See, it's easy," Xardius said. "Let's go everybody!" He ran off towards a large tree that was propped up in the middle of the grasslands. He was intercepted by a large roar and suddenly a massive lion appeared out of nowhere. "What are you doing in my Pride Lands?" the lion roared at them, spit flying into Xardius' face. Xardius wiped it off with a sigh, and stared at the lion. "Who are you?" the lion spat. "We're nobody," Xardius said matter-of-factly. "Now who are you?" The lion drew himself up. "I am Simba, King of the Pride Lands." "Great," Xardius said, rolling his eyes. "Now I have a good question for you...Have you ever, in your life, brushed your teeth...Cause you have got the stinkiest breath I have ever smelled in my entire life as a cheetah...Which hasn't been that long, but still, you stink man. Go take a shower or something." Simba roared in fury and leaped at Xardius. "I just realized something," Xardius muttered to himself. "Cheetahs aren't bigger than lions."
"To Rafiki, I guess," Xardius said, shrugging. "He might know something with his 'abilities.'"
OOC: Sure. After you feel unconscious, Bellatrix was ambushed by her brother, who told her about a major ambush that was coming from the knights. We prepared ourselves, fought a giant battle, and then decided to go and find Retlaw...We're following a map around, and the first piece told us to go to the Pride Lands, so we're there and changing into animals. We can pretend that you've been with us the entire time...Just jump in, it'll be fine. I'm waiting for Oxryt and Wing (whose being controlled by Oxyrt) to jump off the gummi ship...I don't want to be too pushy and make up their animals for them.
OOC: Oh, those guys! I love those guys, maybe I'll change myself into a cheetah or something (I don't really like lions but I couldn't think of anything else.) EDIT: I'm a cheetah now.
