Orcus

[SIZE=1]Axel looked at Nate, half-listening, half trying to regain his composure after having met Switch finally. [I]A monkey? A monkey was the pilot of the ship? No matter what that monkey called himself, he was a monkey[/I]. Axel shrugged off his confusion and responded to what Nate and Dogarta were talking about. [B]"Wealthy, eh? Guess that means your pretty well paid up. Impressive. I...really don't have a job. Guess you could call me a mercenary with a permanent contractor. I work for a group, the Organization, and they send me on various missions. Reconassiance, assassinations, whatever. They pay for everything, even when I'm not on a job, so I get by."[/B] Axel smiled whole-heartedly at his comrades. He liked these guys. Well, mostly. Carthage still creeped him out. He looked at the creature. [B]"So, you an engineer or something? Is that why the monk---er...Chief Engineer spoke to you?"[/B] Carthage looked Axel over a couple of times, and Axel felt a chill go up his spine. Carthage then leaned against a wall and answered. [B]"I suppose you could say that. I'm good with technology, especially that of my people."[/B] Axel grinned and nodded, then a thought popped up in his head. He had heard of Carthage before. He was a famed warrior in his day and age. He was actually supposed to engage with Carthage in a battle in his time. He had never questioned why. Now he did. Carthage, though slightly frightening, seemed alright. Carthage spoke again, disrupting his thoughts. [B]"So, a monkey, eh? That's peculiar... Anyway, Dogarta, what was your occupation? You did intiate the conversation, after all."[/B] Dogarta smiled thoughtfully, then answered. [B]"Well, that's difficult. My race is reborn up to 15 times, and I'm currently on my third, so I've had multiple occupations. My first was a diplomat, writer, and philosopher, in my second I was an Admiral, and currently, well..."[/B] Dogarta went silent, looking for a way to express it. Axel pressed. [B]"Aw, come on! Out with it!"[/B] Dogarta chuckled and sighed. [B]"Well, people know me as "The Most Erotic Hero in the Galaxy..."[/B] The others went silent, unsure of how to take, or respond, to that. Axel opened his mouth, closed it, opened his mouth again, and laughed. [B]"That sounds pretty cool, actually. I have to give you credit for that, I didn't think anyone could take or hold a title like that!"[/B] Dogarta laughed along and shrugged. He then turned to Joseph. [B]"And you? What was your job?"[/B] Axel interrupted before Joseph could answer. [B]"Though I doubt it beats Dogarta's."[/B] Everyone laughed, even Carthage, who chuckled and smiled sligthly. Axel grinned and looked to Joseph. Joseph answered slowly, unsure, as well, how to say it. [B]"I don't really have an occupation, kind of like you, Axel. I'm a...Hero of sorts. I travel the world fighting evil... Though I've had my share of the darkness as well."[/B] Axel smiled. [I]These guys are fascinating... This will defiinitely be fun.[/I] He leaned backwards onto a control panel by acident. A wrench flew swiftly out of an unknown corner at Axel, who caught it with his lightning fast reflexes. The monkey appeared from above and yelled at him. [B]"What did I tell you? Don't touch!!! If something breaks we're screwed, and I'll have your head if it's your fault. Now give me my wrench back."[/B] Axel grinned meekly and tossed the wrench back to Switch, who dissapeared. Axel looked to the others amusedly. [B]"What do you think of Switch, guys? He may be a little anal with "his" ship, but I like him. He's got character. I also wouldn't be suprised if he could hold his own in battle, as well. That wrench came at an ungodly speed."[/B][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][B]BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.[/B] Axel's alarm clock was braely loud enough to drown out the sound of the slums below him. The city was always active, whether it be with crime or commerce, not that there was much difference anymore. Cars, mortorcycles, and even the occasional Biker rode by, all ruled by their usuall flow of time. And then there was Axel, ready to abandon his to save others. [B]BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.[/B] Axel looked down at his alarm clock angily from the side of bed. [I]Time? Time to get up. Time to go. Time for me to save time.[/I] He laughed sourly at that thought. [I]This is so ridiculous! Chosen to protect the timeline? Hmmm... Maybe it's not so crazy...Why else would you have this gut feeling?[/I] Axel's thoughts grew so loud he was forced to speak aloud. [B]"Bullshit!"[/B] He got up out of bed and showered quickly. He stepped out of the shower, throwing on his robe and grabbing a towel to dry his hair. As he walked into his bedroom he looked at his nighttable, at all the leters he had recieved from the Lords of Time and some "Switch" guy. One every day since the first, almost counting down his time to departure. When he had lazily stolled to check his mail this morning he had half-expected the letter to say blast off. He cleared all save the most recent into the trash and looked over the letter one last time. The format, the tone, the air this message has around it was all cold. These "Lords of Time" were not social people, creatures, whatever. Axel looked at his alarm clock, grimacing. He should get dressed, despite his skepticy. He had no idea where or when these Lords would be retrieving him. He stood up and began dressing. He exited his house 10 minutes later, after having dressed, eaten, and grabbed his motorcycle keys. He strode down the street towards his garage, recieving strange looks from passerbyes. He had worn the outfit assigned to him for missions from the Organization. A black tangtop, covered by a black, shortsleeved jacket that barely ended above his knees clothed his upper body, and black loose fitting pants led into black boots with silver lining. His hands were cradled in black gloves, and his gunblades rested at his hips. He walked up to his bike, sitting down and shoving the key into the ignition. Once on, Axel reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of rectangular, thin-rimmed shades. He leaned in, backed up, and drove off at a suicidal pace, unsure of exactly where he would go. The sun was up, but the pollution in the city turned the sun's ray into ominous strands of the afterlife striking the roads and draining them of life. Axel sped down the forlorn, destroyed roads of the city, looking for some sort of sign. [B]"If you want to come and get me, do it---"[/B] And explosion at the side of the road, interrupted Axel. The shockwave from the blast threw him off balance, and he struggled to spin the bike around and come to a halt. He took a moment to breathe and rode swftly to the source of the explosion. When he arrived he was amazed at what he found. The building the explosion had come from was completely intact, but the earth around it was annihalated. The building had not been the only thing to survive. A black with golden lining cloaked figure, about as tall as him, sat on the steps. Axel's first instinct to check on the figure was quickly whisked away by a stronger feeling of danger. He reahed for his weapon, but was thrown back a great distance by a sudden force. [B]"Shit!"[/B] Axel his the ground, bounced, and hit it again, but this time did a backflip to regain balance. He looked around, ready for another strike, when a voice dame from behind him. [B]"Stop. You have been selected by The Lords of Time. You will come with e to the ship now."[/B] The creature's face was heavily shielded, though it's arms, which appeared human-enough, were covered in scars. It's cloak seemingly hovered around it, and though it had legs and feet, it floated along, and at a quick pace too. It turned around and swept away back towards the building. Axel growled unhappily. [B]"First he knocks me around, and then he doesn't even apolgozie. Rude much? Hope there's some pleasant company on the ship."[/B] Axel sprinted to catch up with the "Time Lord" and jogged to stay up with him once he had. They stopped in front of the skyscraper, and the creature turned to Axel. [B]"Here you will enter the portal through time to the ship. Then, when I feel it is important, I'll lead you to the Command Section."[/B] Axel sneered under his breath as the creature walked up to the entrance. [B]"A little too pretentious, you don't think?"[/B] The creature spun around to Axel and that remark, and though Axel couldn't see his eyes, he could feel him glaring. The creature turned back and, instead of entering the building, dissapeared. Axel raised his eyebrows, suprised slightly. He walked up the entrance and shoved his hand through. It dissapeared, and the rest of his arm grew cold. He pulled it out swiftly. [B]"Well...here we go..."[/B] He stepped in, and was overcome with darkness. All he could do, though how he was doing it he did not know since he could feel his legs moving, was continue forwards. His head swam as he could feel animals, cultures, kings, queens, emperors, civilizations, Gods, even, rise and fall. Finally a brilliant light overtook him, and he was on his knees in a staring at a silver floor, probably the interior of the ship. He felt like his stomach and head were upsidedown. He thought he heard the Time Lord hum mockingly, and then a voice reached his ear. [B]"Don't worry, buddy. I think that's how everyone feels their first time."[/B] Two arms came down and helped Axel up. He looked at the men and smiled when he saw that they weren't one of the Creatures. Axel nodded and stood up on his own. He extended a hand to the first of the two who helped him. [B]"Nice to see other souls capable of some emotion. My name's Axel. Got it memorized?"[/B] One man laughed at that comment and grasped Axel's hand, shaking it. [B]"Axel, eh? I won't go forgetting that name. Mine's Dogarta. A pleasure."[/B] Axel smiled at Dogarta and then extened his hand to the other, who answered him briefley. [B]"A pleasure, Axel. I'm Nate."[/B]Axel smiled at him, then looked aorund at the ship. It was unfamiliar to him in most every way, but that didn't bother him in the least. What did bother his was the two Lords of Time standing in the corner. Axel looked to Dogarta and spoke questioningly. [B]"What do you think's waiting for us here?"[/B] Dogarta looked at the Lords of Time, down the corridor in front of them, and then back to Axel. [B]"Who knows? Guess we'll find out soon enough what we're in store for..."[/B] [CENTER][B]+++++[/B][/CENTER] [B]OOC:[/B] I hope that's alright. I just woke up [and can't actually recall when I went to sleep...No, I wasn't drinking. -__-], so I'm not quite sure how that post turned out. So I hope everything is what you expected, vicky.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][B]?Well, well?What?s this? Looks like a profile sheet. Usually the Organization dogs just call me in to fill out something like this. Guess they were feeling lazy today. Best to get on this??[/B] [I][B]Name:[/B] Experiment # 4539480- ?Axel Riotwing? [B]Age:[/B] Phst. Like I age. 29 by Earth years. [B]Species:[/B] Successful Experiment, in all honesty. But according to the government, I?m an advanced ?Structurally-Operative-Legacy-Diligence-Incorporated-Emperor-Remnant? or an advanced SOLDIER. If your wondering what all of that means, its actually quite simple. But before I explain that, let me give you the basics of what I am. I?m a clone, or recreation of a great warrior who lived ages ago, Kain. His strength was said to be unrivaled, but he bowed to no one, not even the Organization, a powerful company that ruled our country at the time. When he was brought down and defeated, the Organization brought his body in and took a sample of his DNA, starting the long, strenuous process of ?recreating? the ultimate warrior. They also took his slayer, Abel, and killed him, storing his body just in case. They failed countless times for two centuries, but eventually mastered it. One model before me worked, a perfect replica of the original. However, he went mad just as the original had. They cloned his oppressor, and they ensued in an epic battle just as in history, both being defeated, Kain by Abel once more, and Abel by the Organization again. The Organization realized that they could not completely recreate their warrior, for he was doomed to the same fate. So they took the cells from the warrior and the one who killed him and combined them to create me. Nifty, huh? Now for my title. ?Structurally Operative?- I?m the only one around that functions. ?Legacy?- The cells I was created from. ?Diligence Incorporated?- I may look lazy, and usually I am, but I?ll get a job done. Guess you could say that trait?s in my blood. ?Emperor Remnant?- Kain believed himself to be the emperor of the planet, and remnant?well?that?s all I am. [B]Timeline/Date:[/B] 2050 [B]Origin:[/B] Germany, Earth, The Milky Way, I think. [B]Special Talents:[/B] Heh, I?ve got the genes of a great warrior in my blood. That?s my special talent. My strength, speed, agility, and senses are all heightened. I?m skilled with blades, specifically the dual-blades I carry around. I can adapt to any surrondings and situations, and can derive a plan of action or strategy whenever one is needed. That I can' attribute to either Kain or Abel... Thaty's 100% my ability, granted by years of military training and studies. I can also manipulate the life-force of the planet that resonates within me, or, ?chi? as it?s most commonly referred to. [B]Weapons/Items:[/B] The Crimson Elixir and The Crimson Sanctuary. Two sleek short swords, barely wider than katanas. These blades were Kain?s, but they?ve been modified slightly. They've been infused into small handguns, with special chips imbued in them. I have the chip in me as well, so that I must carry them around all the time. The chip contains a tracking device, and is electronically linked to the one inside my buddy. Y? see, if I get to far away, they try and pull back together, draining the energy from my body and making me weak. Too great a distance, however? Me and the swords punch out early.. [B]Appearance:[/B] [Video Mode/Direct link to HQ] [u]//Subject//[/u] [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/Reizou/Axel.jpg][[B]Axel Riotwing[/B]][/URL] [u]//Hair Color//[/u] Dark Blue/ Silver [U]//Eye Color//[/U] Crimson. Noticeably, his pupils are narrower than that of a normal human. [U]//Body Stature, Physique//[/U] White skin, 6?2??, Lean muscular figure. 142 lbs. 3% body fat. [B]Personality:[/B] [From Organization profile sheet] Axel Riotwing- Extreme variations from his predecessors. Attitude is still unpredictable, but he appears to be stable. Strong sense of justice and loyalty, like Abel. However, very few traces of Kain can be found in his personality. Axel abhors violence, and has an extreme distaste for it, and will only fight when left with no alternative measure. However, has fighting style, strength in battle, and supremacy in most situations are directly adopted from Kain. No sense of egotism. Exceptionally kind to most everyone, though often adopts a sarcastic tone of voice from time to time. No problems with the subject as of now. [B]Biography:[/B] //Conditional change//?//Unable to retrieve information//...//Video mode enhanced//?//Video up and running//?//Recording of events ensuing//[/I] [B]?---Oo!?[/B] Axel dropped his sheet quickly as a shot fired and a bullet flew past him. He spun around and looked out past the shattered window. He walked towards it and sighed. [B]?Just fixed that window from last time? Goddamit.?[/B] His eyes rolled as a gun barrel pressed against the back of his head. He shoved his hands into his pockets and pulled out a toothpick, placing it in his mouth. The man behind him fixed his shades and spoke to Axel coldly. [B]?Experiment number 4539480, we?ve come to take you in. Come without resistance or we?ll have to use force.?[/B] Axel raised his hand up and stroked his chin thoughtfully. He turned around and looked the man in the eyes. Though his shades were on as well, Axel could see through the man?s eyes, into his soul, and pitied him for having to live a life of servitude as a lackey of a greater power that kept him suppressed manipulatively. He answered calmly. [B]?I?d rather not go at all. Force isn?t my style really, so get out and I?ll leave both legs attached.?[/B] The operative gasped as all in one moment, Axel vanished, 12 shots were fired, and Axel reappeared behind him, holding his gun. The twelve shots had been fired perfectly around the operative?s head, avoiding him by a hair. Axel frowned at this method, but he knew fear was often a good motivation for the blind. However, his assailant didn?t give up. He sprung away and pulled out another gun, now a semi-automatic machine gun. [B]?Don?t ******** me, 4539480. Our records state that you don?t condone violence. If we use force you?ll be powerless to resist us. The government merely wants to run analysis tests on you, nothing more.?[/B] Another gunmen walked into the room from behind Axel. Axel frowned and took out the toothpick, examining it as the two men watched him threateningly. The gov?t. planned on doing more than just analyzing him?They wanted to take his cells to create an army of super warriors like him. He looked up sadly. [B]?I?m not bullshitting anyone. I may avoid violence?but when put into an unfavorable situation? Like, let?s say, two men with guns threatening me in my own house, I?ve been known to get a little violent.?[/B] Axel grabbed his two swords off of the counter and held them out at both sides. He concentrated, and struck. He took his two blades to the bottom of the semi-auto and pushed it upwards, causing it?s wielder to fire it off into the ceiling. The shots ended swiftly as Axel?s blades cleanly diced the gun into tiny pieces. The other grunt stood shocked for a moment, then began firing. Axel pushed himself to the right against the 1st grunt, knocking him against the wall, and then unconscious. [B]?Well this isn?t my idea of a good time, I?ll have you know??[/B] Axel flipped over the table next to him and landed in front of the grunt, but this time, the grunt was ready. He fired rapidly in Axel?s direction, only for Axel to disappear again. The grunt looked around swiftly, and was stunned as Axel?s voice came from the floor. He grinned embarrassedly. [B]?Not exactly the kind of dodge I had in mind, but hey, it works.?[/B] Axel lifted his legs up and shot himself forward with his hands, straight past the grunt. He landed and the grunt went to shoot, when Axel?s voice stopped him. [B]?Whoops! Sorry, but it seems you won?t be able to shoot me.?[/B] The grunt?s face contorted with a mixture of shock, anguish, and fear as his gun split into three pieces. Axel grinned and twirled his blades. He pointed one sword at the unconscious grunt, and one at the man in from of him. [B]?Take him and get out. I won?t mess around if you decide to stay.?[/B] The grunt grabbed his ally, threw him over his shoulder and looked at Axel fiercely. His eyes radiated furiously through his shades. [B]?Oppress us for however long you want?We will capture you.?[/B] He then fled into the night. Axel stood solemnly as he heard their car start up and drive off into the night. He looked down at his sheet and was amazed to see it had recorded the whole battle scene. He grinned and laughed amusedly. [B]"Well I'll be damned..."[/B] [B][CENTER]*****[/CENTER][/B] [B]OOC:[/B] Hope this is okay. I'm kinda pressed for time right now, so I'll probably edit/elaborate/elongate it later. Please tell me if anything needs to be changed. [B]EDIT:[/B] I added a picture of his appearance, and changed his appearance slightly. [B]EDIT2:[/B] I edited his weapons.[/SIZE]

[COLOR=White][size=1]The grounds clattered with the sounds of battle, Iron Knights fighting Iron Knights, some fighting alongside the Organization, some not. A Guard Armor stomped through the town loudly, smaller heartless fleeing from under it's massive footsteps. It crushed 6 Iron Knights by accident, scraping the sides of the alleyways as it's large hull struggled to stride forward. Down a parallel alleyway, Xarnock stopped in place, amazed by the sound. He ran faster towards his alleys. [B]"Guy's, hear----"[/B] His voice was cut off as another heartless flew over his head, equally as large as the Guard Armor. It landed at the end of the allweyway, and so did the Guard Armor. Xarnock arrived at the end of the alleyway, joining the Organization and Sol Hei. The two heartless stood threateningly staring at the warriors. Sol Hei grimaced. [B]"Guard Armor and Grande Sphinx... The Guard Armor belongs to..."[/B] Sol Hei looked up to the building to his left viewing over the witch standing their watching. Her snide smile beamed down like the darkness she dwelt in. Maleficent the Witch. And across from her, to Sol Hei's right, was a golden haired youth, wearing thin knight's armor. Sol knew him instantly, the self-right warrior, the leader of the crusaders... and in another lifetime, best friend of Helios. Sol said his name sadly. [B]"Sandavir."[/B][/size][/color] [SIZE=1][B]OOC:[/B] Engage in the battle with the Grande Sphinx and the Guard Armor, and then once you beat them, look for the keyhole. It could be wherever. Have at it.[/SIZE]

They are the non-existent ones..."[/I] ?[/SIZE][/FONT] [SIZE=4]♥[/SIZE] [B]"Xeliohs, we're set."[/B] [B]"Xeliohs, let's go."[/B] [B]"Xeliohs, ready!"[/B] Their voices echoed throughout the massive chamber the Organization was positioned in. They were setting off to finish their long-lasting escapade. One group would head to Traverse Town- Xaria, Xarnock, Janux, and Xander- one to Spira- Helix, Uxainst, Ixazavius, and Zuxus- and one to Midgar- Xeliohs, Lex, and Xedath. Xeliohs would help Lex and Xedath secure their keyhole, then use the Dark Corridor to arrive at the otehr keyholes and lock them after the other's had reached them. The darkness could not be used to find a heart unless it had already come across it. And though the nobodies could use the darkness liek the Heartless, the nobodies themselves were not creatures of darkness. They were Denizens to the Darkness, but did not spawn from it. They were shunned by both the darkness and the light. Xeliohs looked at his comrades and nodded. The leaders of the other two groups, Xaria and Ixazavius, opened pathways through the dark corridor to the worlds they ventured to. Their groups walked through, and then they followed behind, getting the okay from Xeliohs. Once through, Xeliohs opened his own portal, smiling as he walked into it. [B]"Our journey to completion, is almost at an end."[/B][/size] [B][SIZE=3]Chapter I: Traverse Town[/SIZE][/B] [size=1][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/Reizou/TraverseTownBanner.jpg[/IMG] [B]Characters:[/B] Sol Hei [Possibly], Xander, Xarnock, Xaria, and Janux. [B]Background:[/B] This world is a world for those who?s worlds have been lost to the heartless and stumble through the Dark Corridor blindly. Recently the heartless have discovered this world, and aim to destroy the world of fragments, finally putting an end to worlds already destroyed. The Organization must quickly find the keyhole and secure it. However, their task is far from easy. Traverse town has created a labyrinth of sorts around it?s heart, where heartless wait around every corner and at the end is the Great Heartless attempting to steal it?s heart: The Grande Sphinx. [B]Objectives:[/B] Clear the town of heartless. Get the citizens to safe ground. Fight your way through the maze. Defeat the Grande Sphinx and secure the keyhole.[/size] [CENTER][B]+++++[/B][/CENTER] [size=1][B]OOC:[/B] Okay, here you are! I know the intro's not very long, but I decided I'd kept this from you all long enough. THough therwe are set objectives for each chapter, feel free to take as long as you care for defeating the heartless or saving the citizens, and be as creative as you please with the Laybrinth and the Boss. The first three chapters happen simaltaneously. Once the keyhole is secured, Xaria will call Xeliohs using the darkness, and the next chapter will begin, and it'll end the same way, only Ixazavius, and then the third chapter will ensue, where Xeliohs will lock all three worlds.[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][B]OOC:[/B] You're too kind Blayze. I'm sure you could've done a better job with something like this than me. ^_^ [CENTER][B]Name:[/B] Xeliohs [B]Title:[/B] Xeliohs, the Righteous Blade. [B]Number in Organization:[/B] I, The Superior [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Personality:[/B] Xeliohs is the leader archetype. His interest is always the group as a whole, and he never leaves any member behind. His ?emotions? go from both ends of the spectrum daily, depending on the instance. Usually he cheery, determined, and optimistic, but in battle, especially against the Heartless, he becomes merciless and slaughters on sight. Only his brethren and those he mentally ?marks? before battle are left alive.

His chain and insignia on the jacket are Nobody symbols instead. A pair of thin, square-rimmed shades usually hide his eyes. [i]Height:[/i] 6?0?? [i]Weight:[/i] 154 lbs. [i]Eye color:[/i] Glowing crimson/ auburn [i]Hair color:[/i] Black with blue-gray streaks, that falls over his eyes. [B]Weapon:[/B] Keyblade- Weapon with the power to lock away hearts or release the potential in them. The Keyblade can take various shapes, each with its own abilities. The origin of the Keyblade is unknown, but for some reason it has chosen Xeliohs to be it?s wielder, and he intends on fulfilling the destiny of the Keyblade bearer. The two keyblades he usually wields are [URL=http://kh2.co.uk/image.php?view=kh/artwork/180.jpg][B]The Chasm[/B][/URL] and [URL=http://kh2.co.uk/image.php?view=kh/artwork/179.jpg][B]The Recreation[/B][/URL]. However, under special circumstances, he'll wield one, his true keyblade. It's all silver, with a hilt like the Recreation and a keychain like the Chasm, but the key part is a nobody symbol elongated to one side. [B]Nobody:[/B] [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/Reizou/Samurai.jpg][B]Muchitsujo[/B][/URL]- A samurai nobody with dual-wielding skills rivaling Xeliohs. It?s agility is amazing, and it can easily cut down any Heartless with ease. Xeliohs calls Muchitsujo often to assist him in destroying Heartless. Muchitsujo often mingles with the other Nobodies of the organization, and he trusts them and the Organization unquestionably. He?s closely tied to Xeliohs and is always in his head, so he knows who to trust and who not to. [B]Character Snippet:[/B] See Introduction[/CENTER] [CENTER][B]+++++[/B][/CENTER] [B]OOC:[/B] Wow!

[CENTER][IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/Reizou/TheOrganizationBanner.jpg[/IMG] [/CENTER] [CENTER][SIZE=1][I]Darkness? Everywhere. Silence. Nothingness? All around. Silence. Escape??Silence. Escape? Not the same. How? Half. What? Light sliced through the darkness, and the darkness fought back, and they struggled, and they tore, and they struck with such might that a planet was born. And then they ceased to do battle. They coexisted. And they released their captive. The light blinded him, and the darkness clouded his sight. But then they merged, and he awoke, and he could see. But he was not the same. Not who he had been. Who was he? Helios? No. Too distant. Not him? Not fully. Someone else? The other. ?Xeliohs? If you wish. He opened his mouth, and the word rolled off of his tongue, and split the silence. [B]?Xeliohs.?[/B][/I] Xeliohs? glowing crimson eyes flickered open. He laughed sourly at his dream, at his past. He had been attacked. A Heartless. His heart was lost, became something else. But?he remained. And he was saved. Brought here. He looked down at his hands and raised them towards the unnatural radiance of darkness that shone from the sky. He could feel the darkness, he was a part of it. He had been since then. He flicked his jet black hair from his eyes and spun on his heels, getting dressed swiftly. He put his jacket on slowly, however. The mark of the organization was their black robes, that covered most of their body, enshrouded them in mystery. Xeliohs, however, was the Superior, number one of the Organization, and the shortened, jacket-like form of the traditional robe was proof. Xeliohs felt for the others. They were in Lost Identity, their meeting chamber. He reached out for the darkness to take him to them, and a portal appeared in his wall. Darkness emanated from it almost ominously?Ominous for those did not rely on it. He strode into it confidently, and entered into the Dark Corridor, the darkness?s passageway to every corner of the universe. Creatures dwelt in this realm, the Heartless. Just the sight of them sickened Xeliohs. He sprung on them quickly, calling forth his weapons. The closest Heartless was split in two, and the others stopped to look. Their thoughts were loud enough to have been spoken. [B]?Keyblade!?[/B] Xeliohs looked down at his hands. The two weapons he held were indeed Keyblades. Used to either bring peace to the worlds, or to wrought chaos and calamity upon them. Xeliohs was unsure of his destiny as it?s chosen one, but he intended to bring peace to the worlds, to the Nobodies, and to free the Heartless from their sorrow. He also intended, to start right in their ?world?. He spun his black Keyblade, the Chasm, in his right hand and his white Keyblade, the Recreation, he spun with his left. He struck them together and lunged at the Heartless. They came at him from each side, but he cared naught. His only interest was destroying them, each and everyone, in an attempt to take back the hearts stolen by the wretched creatures and returned them to those like himself. [B]?Die! Filthy creatures! You made me this way!?[/B] His rage poured into his Keyblades, and the hearts stolen were released in a mad frenzy, surrounding the area. Finally, a voice cut through the darkness and stopped Xeliohs. The Heartless took this chance to escape, and Xeliohs growled. He destroyed one more before it could leave, and turned his attention to the free yet still captive hearts. Left to long in the world of darkness and they would merely turn back into Heartless. Xeliohs cast back into the darkness The Chasm, grasped the Recreation with both hands, and aimed at the hearts. They glowed fiercely, and so did the Keyblade. A dazzling light spun around Xeliohs, and then centered at the tip of his Keyblade. [B]?Be freed.?[/B] A beam shot forth from the Keyblade, and the hearts became so bright it was unbearable, and then the hearts disappeared, allowed to return to the bodies whence they once dwelt. The voice cried out to him again, more urgent, now. Xeliohs nodded and exited the Dark Corridor, and was brought directly in front of his brothers. One of the Nobodies eyes, Xedath?s, flickered up and connected with his. He had been the one who called Xeliohs. The two were close, and despite the lack of hearts, they shared as special bond. Xedath was the second to join the Organization, so the two knew each other from their ?rebirths?. Xedath could feel Xeliohs? hatred from inside the Dark Corridor, and knew unless someone intervened, he would be lost to his rage. Xeliohs looked at him forcefully and nodded, a gesture of his thanks for his friends intervention. Xeliohs took his spot at he head of the table, and glanced around at his allies. The Thirteen, including himself, composed the Organization, and despite their sinister appearance, they meant the worlds no harm. They merely wished to become whole. Every heart in existence was connected, connected by the Birthplace of all Hearts. Kingdom Hearts. Once enough worlds were locked away from the darkness, locked away from the Heartless, Kingdom Hearts would appear, yearning to be locked away from the Heartless as well. And when this happened, balance would be restored, the Heartless would cease to exist for a time, and all the hearts stolen by them would return to their rightful place. That, was the Organization?s purpose. They all strove for that purpose. Most members could remember what it felt like to have a heart? What it felt like to truly feel, and long for that entirety. In their current state, they could imitate emotion, they could ?feel? but not in the way whole humans could. Other?s of the Organization, once discovering the horrid truth, would have fallen to grand sorrow, but were unable to truly, and this ravaged their souls, putting them into a state of emptiness. They are truly hollowed, and merely fight for Kingdom Hearts because their brothers do. Xeliohs could still remember his heart and it?s feelings all to well, and though Xedath would often deny it, he could too. The Organization had taken many years to lock away the worlds, and finally, only 9 more existed in their vicinity. Their ultimate goal was so close in hand, but would take time none-the-less. Xeliohs, being the Keyblade?s chosen, was the only one who could lock away the heart of a world, and he could only be in one place at once. If the others could wield his weapon he would gladly let them, but the Keyblade only answered to the call of a certain type of person. The Keyblade was told to be a weapon wielded solely by the strong-hearted?So how was it that Xeliohs could wield it? A laugh escaped from Xeliohs? lips. He had fallen into thought again, something he did often. They had gathered together for a reason, and he could not keep him waiting. That would be rude. [B]?Brethren?Our time is soon. The final worlds need to be locked away. Though only I can, I will need you all to travel to the worlds ahead of me and secure the heart of the world from the Heartless. And the challenges have risen. The Heartless can sense the near arrival of Kingdom Hearts, and their numbers have increased exponentially. Not only that, but they are being rallied under truly powerful opponents. Maleficent has taken the Heartless into her breast, using them to create her Grande Kingdom. And??[/B] Xeliohs took a breath, thinking of the second enemy. They were more of a threat, as their purpose was to kill all Nobodies. [B]?And a new group has formed. The Crusaders. They have deemed themselves as the ?Balance?s Protectors?. The Crusaders have made it their purpose to destroy the Nobodies, especially the Organization. ?Nobodies were never meant to exist, so they must be reverted into Non-existence?, I believe their leader, Lord Sandavir stated. The use the Heartless to attack Nobodies, but they lose no hatred for the minions. They go so far as to command the Heartless to destroy our Nobodies, and then destroy their Heartless themselves. They are to be handled with the most care, for they will use any means to destroy us.?[/B] Xeliohs stopped and allowed them a moment to think. He had left out one detail, however. The Crusaders? leader, Lord Sandavir, knew the human Xeliohs once was. ?San? and Helios had been best friends. Helios had been turned into a heartless trying to protect San. Xeliohs remembered all to well, but he knew that that meant nothing to Sandavir. He had seen Helios die, so Xeliohs was merely an illusion, some sort of trick to him. A ghost his former friend, one that he would rather destroy than deal with. The Crusaders were largely a threat to Xeliohs alone. Xeliohs broke the silence again with his final words. [B]?We set out today to finish our task. We will split into groups, securing the Keyholes, so that I may lock them. A few must stay behind and guard our keep, from the Heartless and their Masters. This journey may take days, weeks, months, but never give in. If they believe we should not exist?Then let us allow ourselves a chance to prove them wrong.? +++++[/CENTER][/B] This RPG, quite obviously, tells the tale of the former Organization XIII and it?s members quests to become whole.

[SIZE=1]Blake sat in his room, panting heavily. After miraculously stoping that car, he fled back home as swiflty as possible. He ignored his parents completely and raced up to his room, locking the door behind him. [I]How could this be possible? Was he dreaming?[/I] He looked at his hands in shock still. The silence engulfed his room as he tried to divulge an answer. Nothing came to him. He grew increasingly fustrated, until finally he roared with anger. Simaltaneously, a whirlwind appeared around him, cutting into the walls of his room and obliterating his stuff. "Stop!" The fierce winds froze, but not in the manner he had hoped. He had stopped time again. He looked at his clock. Dead still. His mind started racing frantcially. [I]What am I going to do? How do I control these powers? What happen's the next time I get annoyed? How do I keep from ripping another man to shred with the winds of the lord?[/I] He sank down in his bed and held his head. [B]"Why me? Am I really such a good person...Someone worthy of this? There wasn't anyone better suited?"[/B] He just shook his head and sighed. Time retuned back to normal, and the whirlwind ceased. Blake smiled. [B]"At least that's over...I wonder...everytime God get's frustrated, does his Angel's have to duck for cover?"[/B] He laughed meakly at his horrid joke, attempting to put himself in a better attitude. Whatever the reason he had these powers, he had these powers, and there was nothing he could do about it. Probably just best to make the most out of it. He heard footsteps at his door, and then his mother's worried voice. [B]"Blake! Blake! WHat was that noise? Is everything alright?"[/B] Blake looked at his room, concentrated, and opened his eyes. A grin spread across his face. He walked over to the door, grabbed his beanie and his jacket, pushed his glasses up and opened the door for his mom. She flew in, only to find his room in perfect order, better than it had been... ever. Blake threw on his jacket and laughed. [B]"I'll be seeing you, mum. Gonna go out for a while. Probably gonna stop by Becca's real quick..."[/B] Blake ran down the stairs and out into the cool night air. He breathed it in deeply. [I]So...this is my playground now. Let's fix it up a little.[/I] Blake walked towards Becca's house, and every light he wealked underneath birghtened till it could no longer, the exploded. He laughed happily. [B]"What a boss power!"[/B] He burst out into a dash, and found that his speed had increased tenfold. He took a detour, runnning through the park by Becca's house. He stopped at a bench and looked for another way to test his powers. He noticed a trashcan on the other side of the park and smiled. He quickly looked around to make sure nobody was watching, and went to work. He raised his hands toward it and concentrated, like earlier. He raised his hand, and the trashcan lifted off the ground. He moved his hand palm up, and the trascan flipped upside down, and all the trash fell out. Blake grimaced and used his other hand to levitate the trash back into the trashcan. He then put it back down, and reared his right hand back. [B]"Go time!"[/B] He thrusted his arm forward and launched an orb of wind straight at the trashcan, annihalating it. He walked over to where it had been. Not a trace, Blake look on, amazed, and then spun on his heel for Becca's house.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Helios left the crew at the bar early on, he really didn't have any urge to drink. Much, anyway. He drove home mostly sober, thinking about the events of the evening. What had happened to that Van boy? Was he alright? Who was that mysterious woman? he shook the thoughts from his mind as he drove to the T.Y. Cross. He parked outside of his massive ship and smiled. [B]"Home at last."[/B] He punched in the keys to the ship and and walked in, breathing in the air. He walked along the corridor, and climbed up the ladders to the Housing Cells. He walked straight to his, and went to enter the room, when he stopped in his tracks. Becca was fast asleep in the bed. He smiled, walked over silently and kissed her on the cheek, then headed for the cockpit. He sat in there for a while, before finally he heard another car drive up. It was not all of the crew, as he had hoped, but just Nyah, looking very confused, tired, and anxious all at once. She rushed into the ship and, much faster than Helios had thought her capable, was at the cokpit door, knocking. [B]"Helios! We need to talk!"[/B] Helios opened the door and Nyah rushed in, breathless. She took a moment to regain herself, and started calmly. SHe started off still in her unbelieving tone, but her voice grew stronger as she got to the end. When finished, Helios just stared. It made sense. Now he knew why Van had been taken away... [B]"So you want our help...I'd agree, but I don't understand everything. I won't put my crew, my family in danger for some woman who could potentially be lying. It's not my desicion alone, anyway. You'll need to see what the rest of the crew says..."[/B] [CENTER][B]+++++[/B][/CENTER] [B]OOC:[/B] Sorry for the length, I'll edit this later. It's all I could think of right now.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Blake Garrot [B]Age:[/B] 16 [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Alignment:[/B] God [B]Appearance:[/B] [I]Blake?s girlfriend overlooked him as he pulled her close. His beautiful, unworldly golden eyes, though never seen by any beside her for the transition glasses he wore, always seemed to be locked on her, as if nothing else in the world existed, or mattered. He looked down at her, his blue-gray streaks prominent in black hair. She had never thought him as tall as he really was, 6?0??, but taller in fact, her guardian angel of sorts, always watching her from above. She melted in his arms, strong enough to hold her close, but not crush her, and gentle enough that she could fall asleep in them.[/I] [B]Personality:[/B] [I]Blake smiled slyly as he approached his girlfriend?s locker. Becca hadn?t seen him yet, and he intended on taking her by surprise. He ran up behind her and wrapped his arms around her quickly. She got startled, giving him enough time to cover her eyes. She smiled and kisses his hands. Blake spoke teasingly. [B]?Guess who. I?m sure you never will.?[/B] Becca pretended to be confused, naming off a list of people she knew. Blake laughed at their game, and finally she said his name. He spun her around and kissed her, when a fist collided with his shoulder. He sighed and looked to the attacker, his buddy Mark. [B]?Why thank you Mark. I know most people just love to be punched in the shoulder while kissing. It?s all the rave in Ireland, or so I hear.?[/B] Mark grinned and the two hugged. [B]?I merely wanted to give you a congratulation punch on your test grade in Math, ya? overachiever.?[/B] Blake sighed then slipped his arm around Becca?s waist. [B]?It?s not my fault that school happened to be important to me, that I study, and that I don?t spend my afternoons playing videogames.?[/B] Blake jabbed at Mark with his free hand and the three of them walked off school grounds, arguing playfully about Becca and Blake?s A in Math Analysis and Mark?s C in Geometry.[/I] [B]Reaction to Visit:[/B] [I]Blake kissed Becca at the doorstep of her house and whispered ?Good-Night? softly into her ear. He turned and walked away as she entered the house and closed the door behind her, blowing him a kiss as she did so. He strolled down the street, his hand buried deep in his pockets, the water vapor in his breath apparent in the cool night air. His beanie kept his head warm, but that was about all that was warm. His bangs fell over his eyes, and out of the back of the hat, and was flowing fiercely in the wind. [B]?Interesting weather?it?s usually not this windy.?[/B] He merely shrugged and continued walking home, but no with caution; he got the odd feeling someone was watching him. He sped up slightly, but felt ridiculous doing so, so he returned to his casual demeanor. He walked two more blocks before encountering another soul. A young boy was playing with his toy race cars, which Blake would have found cute had the child not been in the middle of the street. Gabriel went to retrieve the child so her wouldn?t get hurt when a sound caught his attention. He listened at first with confusion, then fear, then urgency. He ran frantically for the child, against the deafening roar of the car speeding towards them. Blake reached the child in time but could not get his from the road. He closed his eyes tight as he prepared for the collision. Damn it!!! Blake waited. And waited. His brow furrowed in confusion and he looked towards the car, thinking they had possibly stopped. The car was still, so he assumed they had miraculously stopped in time. He turned to the child and was about to speak to him when he noticed the child, too, was frozen. A chill went up his spine at the sound of a voice from the sidewalk, but it also filled his heart with radiance. [B]?You?d have sacrificed your life for the boy??[/B] Blake stood up and began to walk towards the voice, but stopped and grabbed the child first. He placed him onto the sidewalk and then began to search from the bearer of the voice. He appeared suddenly, in a torrent of wind. His wings spanned to their fullest capacity, which would have terrified any person. But not Blake. He kept his composure, answering the Angel?s question. [B]?Obviously. The child was in trouble?Who would have condemned the child to death??[/B] The Angel smiled at this answer and outstretched his hand. [B]?My name?s Gabriel. It?s an honor to meet a human with your level of compassion and care; something lacking in the modern world. I come on behalf of God, with a proposition for you. What would you say to wielding all of the Creator?s powers?? [/B] Blake was paralyzed with shock, torn between laughter and fainting. God?s powers? An honor, without a doubt, but why him? Blake stared into Gabriel?s eyes. [B]?What?s the catch? I don?t mean to impugn the Almighty Creator, but?He?s just going to give me his powers? Is there something I?ll have to do with them??[/B] Gabriel smiled at the boy?s caution. [B]?A level headed youth, eh? Your caution brings no offense. There is a ?catch? as you put it. You must merely stay on the path of righteousness. Nothing more.?[/B] Blake?s eyes flittered to Gabriel?s hand and back to Gabriel?s eyes. He knew he could trust him, there was no deceit in his words. He shook Gabriel?s hand, and immediately felt empowered, felt this unbelievable energy surge through him. He soaked it in, allowed it to flow through every atom of his body. Their hands separated, and Gabriel smiled. [B]?In case that feeling of awesome power is not enough to prove your might??[/B] Gabriel pushed Blake back into the street. Time sped up again, and the car started at it?s same speed, reached Blake, and froze. But Blake realized that time had not really frozen, he had unknowingly accelerated himself. He knew it would not last long, but before he could move, two voices pierced through his brain. Destroy the car! Use your immeasurable might to crush it like an ant! The other spoke calmly, softly. Stop the car. Stop it right where it is. What?s more powerful? The ability to prevent disaster, or create it? Both voices were gone as suddenly as they came, and Blake was forced to act. His hand came down on the hood of the car, and a sonic wave passed over it. It stopped dead in it?s tracks, in perfect condition, the people fine. Blake looked at his hands in awe. [B]?Amazing??[/B][/I][/SIZE]

[SIZE=1][B][U][CENTER]Earlier in the evening...[/CENTER][/U][/B] [B]"Lets go get some drinks, the whole crew needs to be there. We all need some fun after that job!"[/B] Helios grinned at Kain's comment, and clasped him on the shoulder. He flashed his teeth and puched his friend back, walking towards the Crew's quarters. [B]"I'm going to see if Becca's going to come along. She seem exhausted earlier, so just wait up for me, alright?"[/B] Kain slouched against the wall and sighed fakely, rolling his eyes and sucking his teeth as a follow-up. Helios refrained from laughing and pretended to be pissed. Kain just shrugged. [B]"Whatever. Just don't take too long, or you'll be meeting my wrench face-to-face."[/B] Helios spun on his heel and briskly strode to his and Becca's quarters. He walked towards the door, but stopped before reaching it, as a beautiful melody siphoned from behind the metal gate. Becca was playing her violin, and doing so beautifully. Helios smiled inwardly and let her finish before intruding on her. He walked in as she was putting her violin away. Her smiled broadened at the site of him, and she ran over to hi and embraced him, before passionately kissing him. Helios stroked her hair gently as he spoke to her. [B]"The rest of the crew's heading out for a couple drinks. They're begging me to come along, cause I mean hell, who wouldn't... But that's beside the point. I want you to come along."[/B] Becca shook her head in respone, and sat down on the bed, pulling Helios towards her. [B]"I'll pass. I'm gonna crash- But I want you to go and have a good time,"[/B] she said swiftly, as she saw Helios's mouth open, undoubtedly to offer to stay with her. He nodded and smiled, kissing her on the cheek. [B]"Alright, but I won't be out to long. Love you."[/B] She responded, and he kissed he again, then exited the room. He walked up to Kain, who nodded understandingly. Kain threw his arm over Helios's shoulder and spoke to him. [B]"The crew got impatient, left ahead of us. We'll catch up with them there, cool?"[/B] Helios noded, then shrugged Kain's arm off, walking ahead. [B]"Fine with me, but I drive."[/B] [B][CENTER][U]Later that evening...[/U][/CENTER][/B] Helios pulled up to he bar in his rental 69 Cadillac Convertible. He put the hood up, parked, and the two jumped out of the car. Helios and Kain chatted on their way to the door, when Helios crashed into a young man without looking. The two hit the pavement hard, but Helios reflexes went rapid fire and he landed on his hands, easily thrusting himself back up. He pffered his hand to the younger man on the ground. [B]"Sorry 'bout that. Should been watching where I was going."[/B] The young man took Helios's hand and pulled himself up, then dusted himself off. [B]"Nah, 's my fault. No harm done though."[/B] Helios smiled and outstretched his hand. [B]"A pleasure. M' name's Helios, and this is my mechanic, Kain."[/B] Kain smiled lightly. He had actually requested to be referred to as "The Mechanic". Van raised his eyebrow, and took Helios's hand, shaking it. [B]"My name's Van. Helios, eh? That's a pretty bizzare name."[/B] Helios smirked and jabbed the kid in the shoulder. [B]"Oh, and Van isn't?"[/B] Van laughed and shook his head. [B]"Alright, alright. You got me. I take it you're going into the bar, right? Well, after you." [/B] Van opened the door, and Helios and Kain walked in. The three had a couple drinks together, before Van spotted a pretty silver-haired woman. He mad no move for her, but she did towards him. She came over and they began talking. Helios sptted the crew, and him and Kain stood up. He adressed Van, grabbing his shoulder. [B]"I'll see ya later kid. Have a good evening. Don't drink too heavily...but enjoy yourself."[/B] His last comment he said looking at the lady. He smiled to her, bowed slightly, and went towards the crew. They welcomed him and Kain with cheers [obviously having one too many drinks]. Kain and Helios sat down and joined in on the festivities. Helios spent most of the night laughing cheerily with his comrades, but his thoughts mostly flittered to Becca. She was probably fast asleep, but he missed her. He gazed off into space, wondering exactly how she was doing -if she had actually fallen asleep or was waiting for him to return home- when he noticed Van and the woman again. Van looked off-his-ass-drunk. The woman was smiling as Van stumbled out of the bar. She followed after him. [B]"What the hell?"[/B] Helios frowned at the suspicous occurence. He ran outside to check on the kid, but by the time he made it out, no one was there. Only a lone car, which drove by swiftly, but not fast enough that he couldn't recognize the driver. The silver streak flashing by was a dead giveaway. He frowned as the car merged with the others, and the wave of automobiles became one shapeless enitity. [B]"Hmmm...I don't like the looks of this."[/B] Though greatly perturbed by what happened, there was truly nothing he could do, so he reluctantly went back into the bar.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Helios frowned as he leaned backwards in his cockpit chair. He watched as Kain rain frantically to and fro different areas of the ship. He made sure everything was perfect, every moment of every day. He almost loved the ship as much as Helios did. Almost. Of course, to conflicting ?father-figures? clash in a violent mannerism. One that, of course, the crew rather avoid. Kain?s figure disappeared for a moment, and Helios shrugged. Good riddance. About time he got a life other than this ship? A series of knocks at the cockpit door disproved his theory. [B]?Bloody hell! You just don?t know when to relax, do ya? Come in!?[/B] Kain came in, attempting not to grin. He was covered in oil, and smelled something awful. For anyone who didn?t live in a ship, that is. The smell was familiar, even more fragrant then the scent of a rose for Helios. He walked up to Helios and slammed a computer pad onto his desk. [B]?Fill it out, boss man. You don?t get this done and you won?t get onto the planet?Not like you ever leave the ship.?[/B] Helios snatched the pad of the counter and brushed off Kain. Kain sighed and leaned against a wall. Helios sighed and looked at him, in mock reluctance. It was almost a game between the two of them, their gruff behavior. [B]?The hell you standing there waiting for. Ain?t you got something to do? You [I]always[/I] have something to do.?[/B] Kain growled and replied, attempting to cover his smile. [B]?Hmph. I volunteered to bring the pad back to the drone. I know your lazy *** won?t get out of that seat, till Becca needs you.?[/B] Helios growled at Kain. [B]?Shut it! You keep complaining and it?ll take my lazy *** twice as long to finish this.?[/B] Helios looked down, grinning, and started on his task. His first glance over made him sigh with disgust, they could have easily pulled up this information by looking up his profile. Probably to much work to put in for some lowly pilot.

Kain caught it with one hand, and put it into his pouch. Helios looked at him and lost all gruffness, smiling warmly. Kain did the same. It lasted only for a second, before their demeanors reverted. [B]?What are you waiting for? I finished the damn thing. Buzz off.?[/B] Kain mock bowed and punched in the keys for the cockpit door to open. He walked through, and tiltied his head back to look at Helios. [B]?Whatever you want, your highness.? [/B] The door shut as his sentence finished. Helios chuckled lightly, then spun around and looked over the controls for his baby. He had no children of his won, nor had any time for any. But this, this hunk of flying metal, was his child. Always would be. He ran his hand over the controls and sprung up. [B]?Better go find Becca. Who knows what kind of trouble she?s getting herself into.?[/B] He stood happily, took out a cig, and lit it. He breathed in, breathed out, and smiled again. He walked up to the door, punched in the keys, and entered into the seemingly endless abyss of his home.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Aldian watched as Agramon blasted off, and then plopped down onto the shore lazily. He concentrated on the city, on his friends, on the longing feeling in his stomach to be with them. Suddenly, there voices broke through like a strong current knocking down a dam and filled his mind. He could see them all clearly, and he couldn't help but grin. They were all exactly the same. Aldian's eyes opened in suprise as he took not of who was there. [B]"Malchius? Amazing... I'd like very much to know why he's still alive..."[/B] Aldian stayed sitting, staring out into the distance, when he detected two more titans making there arrival. [I]Jeez...I think everyone arrived already...[/I] He shook his head unhappily. [I]I shouldn't have taken this time for sight-seeing. Dogarta will kill me.[/I] Aldian finally grew serious and began rummaging through his mind for ways to speedily make it to Atlantis. Moving any item, any man-made vehicle would require to much strength, but to move himself across the water... It was a skill he had developed shortly before his slumber, and was thus risky to try. [B]"Oh well."[/B] He mused out loud. Regardless of the danger, it would be far more lethal getting there late than getting there now and in 5 peices. He stood up, and once again concentrated on Atlantis, on his friends, but this time allowed their voices to trickle into his mind ever so slightly, just senough to pinpoint their location. He then concentrated on his feet, then the island, then his feet, then the island again, an when he opened his eyes he was rocketing towars Atlantis. He was flying. [B]"Woohoooo!"[/B] The sea-air whipped his face and blew his hair in every direction, but he didn't care. Flying was such a wonderful sensation, keeping himself afloat was all he would allow himself to conentrate on. He blasted towwards the island at an amazing speed, getting low to the water, watching it ripple below him. He was so entranced by the feeling that he flew straight into Atlantis instead of landing like he hoped to. He was coming rapidly at a figure, who he didn't recognize until he was 10 feet away and moving to fast to stop himself. [B]"Dogarta!"[/B] [I]CRACK.[/I] Aldian hit him and Agramon full speed, and the three went tumbling into the sand. The other Titan's hadn't had time to identify the rocket that hit Dogarta and Agramon, so they instinctively drew their weapons, waiting for the sand to clear. As the sand began to clear, three laughing voices could be heard. When the sand finally cleared, Aldian had his arms around Agramon and Dgoarta, and the thee were still sitting and laughing. Aldian grinned at the others. [B]"Hey everyone. How are things?"[/B] They smiled and walked over to him, embracing their brother and helping him up. Aldian smiled at the warm faces surronding him, and felt a feeling that easily countered the horrid feeling that woke him up. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Heavy snow fell onto the German soil, covering the ground in layer upon layer of the beautiful powder humans loved and despised all at once. Some would appreciate the day at home, would take the day to find themselves, take the day to be with the one they loved. Others would complain about the lack of viable passage to work and how their bosses would undeniably take their day missed, regardless of reason, out of their paycheck. Some wouldn't see it as anything but just another day. But for a select few a "humans" today was more important a day than possibly the day of creation. One such being was a citizen of Germany, one of the few who had, eons ago, appreciated the snow. Deep below his beloved snow, below his beloved people was he, with his beloved books. Should one have made their way into this well of knowlegde long pushed aside and fogotten by mortal minds but a few hours agi, they'd have found Aldian Canas-Baine, sifting through his dear books neglected during his slumber, and reading the minds of those whom, like himself, thought the snow was beautiful. But should they have found it now, they'd find a much differet Aldian. Though only a few hours after his awakening, he had already calmed, had already lost the spark and intrigue of one who had woken from a self-induced coma to a world the same yet different. The time for renewal of memories, the time for indulging the world as it was now, was over. He had not been removed from his rest to sit and listen to the knowledge his books spoke of, to read the many feelings and thoughts of the creatures who he guarded. It was now time again to rise and protect his subjects. He needed time to think, however. He stood, and giving himself some time, grabbed the books he had littered across the table since his eyes first flittered open, and put them back in their rightful place on the many bookshelves. While his books nestled back into their habitat, he spoke to himself thoughtfully. [B]"I've been asleep so long... And nothing had disturbed me. Nothing gave me such a chill as that which struck me full force this morning. What could it be? It feels similiar...but so utterly transformed. Transformed into something greater. Something truly evil."[/B] He stopped speaking momentarily and put the rest of his books up in silence. His eyes were closed mysteriously. Suddenly they sprang open and he then burst back out into his spoken thoughts. [B]"Atlantis? Are you sure brethren? No, I see it now. You are right. The city has wormed it's way into my thoughts as well, so it would only make sense that I should follow my instinct. It seems that you are all doing the same."[/B] He grabbed the seat in front of his desk, twirled it, and sat down. He closed his eyes in a dream like state and centered his thoughts in his mind. [I]Azores...I need to get to Portugal. There, or at Azores, I will acquire a ship form. A study one, easy to replicate and sure to withstand the grand fog surronding the Lost City. Though humans have lost their ability to enter due to their ignorance, their mechanisms are not cursed as they are. But as a Titan...A Titan can always find his way into Atlantis, save he didn't have a means to get there. Meaning there's a call needing to be made.[/I] He picked up the phone and instinctively dialed a number burned into his mind from his life before exiling himself from the world. He waited as the phone rang. IT kept ringing, for what seemed to be an eternity, before a voice, familiar as the back of Aldian's hand seeped through the phone. [B]"Hello?"[/B] Aldian smiled and spoke happily into the phone. [B]"Brother. Good to hear your voice. I wasn't sure if you'd remebered to pay your phone bills or not. Wasn't even sure if you'd remember to stop in Siberia."[/B] Agramon laughed, and Aldian could almost see his friend grinning. [B]"Yes well, I knew it would be best to stop here, especially considering there would be a strong chance you, too, had woken up. And since that is the case..."[/B] he laughed into the phone, [B]"I gladly accept your offer."[/B] Aldian sighed amusedly and ran his hand through his hair. Agramon spoke again. [B]"I'll be there in 20 minutes. The great thing about snow is, there's never a lack of [I]shadows[/I]."[/B] The line went dead, and Aldian chuckled to himself. He rgabbed a scarf, a pair of gloves, a billed beenie, and an odd looking metal object off of his desk, and fled to the outside. [CENTER][B][U]20 mins. later...[/U][/B][/CENTER] Aldian sat at the outer rims of the cit of Munich, in a [URL=http://www.car-nection.com/CCOF/pic104.jpg][1969 Cadillac Convertible][/URL] he had found in the streets of the city, aqcuired it's shape and imbued it into a metal block. A sound caught his attention, though it wasn't a sound any normal mortal would hear. not unless they he telekinesis. No, only he could Agramon's thoughts as he approached the car as a shadow, he mental swearing at the distance. He msiled as his friend took his original from and motioned to the seat next to him. [B]"Hop in, brother. We've got a decent ride ahead of us... But at least we'll have to time to catch up."[/B] Agramon grinned and opened the door, jumping into the passanger seat. Aldian hit the gas and they sped off towards Portugal, towars Azores, towards Atlantis, and ultimately, towards the other Titans and their desitinies.[/SIZE]

In day to day life, he uses this ability to read the minds of those in town and those new to town, to keep tabs on those who might endanger his country. In battle, he keeps his mind constantly locked with his opponent?s, scanning their thoughts for battle strategies so he can create a counter-offense to their brand of assault. He can also use this ability to transmit thoughts between him and his allies, as well as, if their guard is let down, pumping thoughts into his opponents mind. [COLOR=Indigo][u]Object Manipulation-[/u][/COLOR] Aldian?s true ace in any situation, which allows him to never go unarmed. He has the ability to transform objects into whatever form he pleases. He can turn his necklace into a broadsword, then turn that broadsword into a spear, that spear into a hammer, ad that hammer back into his necklace. He can also mover objects with is mind, and he can even transform his enemy?s weapon into whatever he pleases.[/CENTER] [B]Weapons:[/B] His weapon is kept in the shape of a Cross Fitchy around his neck. When he needs it, he merely uses his object manipulation ability and creates his weapon. Though it can take many forms, a [URL=http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b16/Blayze54/g2_0262b.jpg][Short Blade][/URL] is most common. [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v628/Reizou/Aldian.jpg][Aldian][/URL] Aldian stands at 6?1??, and his body is toned, but not overly muscular, allowing himto be swift and powerful all at once. His attire is as shown, though he wears a pair of square-rimmed transition-lens glasses. His hair is black with blue-gray streaks in it, and his eyes are a beautiful, entrancing purple. [B]Personality:[/B] Aldian, though bearing the appearance of a teenager, is an amazing intellect and scholar. He devotes his life to studying the culture of those he protects. Though he?s been around to watch most of the occurrences through history, he was never allowed to have hand in anything, unless it was to keep the people safe, but not against their enemies. The ones they knew about, at least. He?s very social with the people of the city he dwells in. He spends most of his days in town, socializing with the townsfolk of Munich, or in the city?s libraries above and below the ground. Above, mere human knowledge, but below, halls full of books written by other Titans feeds his constant thirst for knowledge. Aldian is a great warrior, and constantly practices his swordplay, fist-fighting, and various weapon wielding techniques. His mind is precise and strategic, and even without his powers he could anticipate an opponents movement off basic facts on the fellow. [B]Biography: [/B] When Aldian first opened his eyes, in this world, he was terribly frightened. He didn?t know where he was, what had happened. All he knew was his name. He scoured the land, fending off wild beasts by an amazing feat; he could hear their thoughts. Soon a slight part of his memory opened to him, and his destiny and abilities were revealed to him. He was to protect the inhabitants of this world, though he was not one of them. He learned to hone his abilities, and used it to fight perilous beasts of legends; hydras, dragons, behemoths, and various other creatures. The first titan he came across was Darkness, and though they got along well, they did not spend much time together. Darkness preferred to work alone. Eventually, however, the two met up again when all the titan?s who had landed on Earth gathered together to keep the world safe. Their adventures were grand, and Aldian loved every moment of it. He felt his fellow Titan?s were his family, and treated them as such. He always remained closest to Agramon, though. However, after a period of time, the others no longer felt the need to work in unison. Though the events greatly saddened him, he departed from his fellow Titans and left for Germany, where he took role as the guardian of that land. Germany faced it?s fair share, even more, of demons. He easily fended them off, and the land knew peace. He no longer felt he had any calling, and he put himself into a deep sleep, which he was later told was done by the other Titans as well. Something dark and powerful disturbed his slumber, and he rose once again, not only as Germany?s protecter, but as a Guardian of the human race. [CENTER][B]+++++[/B][/CENTER] [B]OOC:[/B] Sorry if the bio's bad. I'll try and work on it later.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Aldian smiled into the face of the Guardian of Light he was engaged in battle with. Ileus. He knew the "boy" well. This boy used his childish appearance as a lull into a false sense of security. But Aldian knew better than that. He knew how powerful Ileus was. After all, they had been allies at one time. He lowered Sanction and grinned, unusheathing Requiem as well. [B]"Ileus! It's been to long. I see you're in good health, I wouldn't have hoped for anything less. Things are well, I would suppose?"[/B] Ileus looked flabbergasted, and Aldian didn't blame him. Aldian had been branded the enemy, a "traitor". He wasn't truly a traitor, he was merely enticed by the chance to obtain knowledge. Not that his former comrades could see that. Ileus certainly couldn't. [B]"What are you doing here! I refused to believe them when they told us you joined them...But it seems I was wrong."[/B] Aldian sighed and raised his hands up in an attempt to sexplain. [B]"You're seeing this the [I]wrong way[/I]. I'm not a traitor. I'm only interested in---"[/B] Ileus cut him off angrily. [B]"Yourself. You're only interested in yourself. And if you're with them, then you're against us. You're my enemy."[/B] Ileus raised his staff threatingly, ready to fight. Aldian spun his two blades in his hands, and shrugged. [B]"If that's the way you want it Ileus. Have at it!"[/B] Aldian and and Ileus appearingly [I]dissapeared[/I], but in truth, they both attained a speed greater than the average eye could track. Though Aldian weilded two weapons and Ileus only one, Ileus held his ground well, but couldn't for long. Their battle took them far from the warm light of Seraph's blade, and Ileus grew weak. [B]"I'm sorry, Ileus. I've forgoten the weakness Guardians of Light ha--."[/B] Ileus intterupted again, refusing to allow him the chance to talk. [B]"Shut up! Shut up! Your worry's fake! You don't care about us. You're trying to destroy us."[/B] Aldian finally lost his temper. [B]"What do you know! You eat all of the lies and bullshit your superiors feed you! What if the Twilight Spear coulde end this tension between the two sides! What if we could live in unison. What if that's what's is meant to happen!? I'm going to find out, and if you're going to stand in my way, than I'll have to fight you."[/B] Aldian sheathed his blades momentarily, grabbed Ileus by his collar, and tossed him in the direction of Seraph. [B]"Better. I would never fight a disadvantaged opponent. Call me what you will, but I still have my morals."[/B] Aldian drew his blades, spun them menacingly, and dashed towards his opponent, fire covering his blades in a mighty inferno.

[SIZE=1][B]Name[/B]:Aldian [B]Age:[/B] Appears to be in his early twenties [B]Gender:[/B] Male [B]Race:[/B] Guardian [B]Position:[/B] Traitor [B]Appearance:[/B] [URL=http://hyung-taekim.org/displayimage.php?album=24&pos=37][Aldian][/URL] Aldian is taller than some of his allies, standing at 6?2??. His physical stature is lean, as is characteristic of The Light Guardians, but is also well toned in a muscular fashion. He is stronger than the average Guardian of Light, but is still not as strong as the G.o.Ds. His eyes are a translucent blue, and his hair is black with blue-gray streaks. Aldian?s attire consists of: A pair of square-rimmed glasses, a jacket black jacket with white lining that goes down to his ankles, two shoulder armor/braces strapped to his black jacket, a silver jacket underneath that [both jackets are open, exposing his chest], a pair of black gloves with metal plates over the knuckles, and black pants leading in black boots with silver lining. [B]Personality:[/B] Aldian is a scholar by all rights. He views everything in a mannerism from which he can delve information. He?s a traitor for the sole reason that he is interested in seeing the force brought about after the Light -his former association- and the Darkness fall. He spends many nights studying the strengths and weaknesses of both Guardian types, and has implemented into his fighting style a means of defeating either. His subordinates often look down upon his inquisitive nature, and sometimes regard him as foolish. All save Wyatt and Mirichai. They see his knowledge as he does; an invaluable asset and ultimately an advantage over their enemy, regardless of whom it may be. His extensive research is all documented in his quarters, though he is constantly reworking them or adding information in, making the practically illegible to anyone other than himself. Despite the aura he portrays of one who merely sits on the sidelines and records battles, he is a spectacular warrior. He?s practiced with his abilities so often that his skills are at the height of their power, and are quite lethal when coupled with his amazing speed. He can rapidly launch fireballs at the enemy whilst using flashes of light to daze the enemy so his attacks are more likely to connect. [B]Weapons:[/B] [URL=http://hyung-taekim.org/displayimage.php?album=14&pos=33][Sanction/ Requiem][/URL] Dual blades forged by a Guardian of Darkness, but has Aldian?s light energy infused into them. At his sides he holds two matching handguns, one black with silver lining, the other silver with black lining. [B]Powers:[/B] Aldian can manipulate with great proficiency the energies of fire and light. He combines them to create a sun like ball that can keep his from getting weaker in the night time. [B]Character Snippet:[/B] [B]?Abigor! Enough!?[/B] Aldian grabbed Abigor?s arm just as he was about to kill his opponent. One of the Guardian?s of Darkness. It was broad daylight, so he was barely able to hold his own, and Abigor obviously had the upper hand. Aldian walked forward and examined the bloodied warrior. He grabbed his blade, Sanction, and stabbed the warrior. He screamed as a portion of his darkness was drained into the sword. Aldian grinned. [B]?Abigor?Kill him. But if you make him suffer, I?ll make you suffer.?[/B] Abigor shrugged and raised his foot up, smashing the guy?s skull in one quick motion. Aldian laughed and sighed at the same time, and spun around, which cause his laughter to increase tenfold. The G.o.D. hadn?t been alone. He had allies, 6 of them by the looks of it. But due to their lack of strength, they only counted for about 3. [B]?You killed our brethren, Light guardian! Now die!?[/B] Their seemingly self-appointed leader sprung forward. Abigor made to attack but Aldian stooped him. The G.o.D. struck down with his blade, but met concrete. Aldian watched him from a street lamp. [B]?That was pathetic.?[/B] The G.oD. And two of his allies ran at Aldian, while the other three went after Abigor. The first one struck at Aldian, and he watched as the bottom of the blade soared over his face. He then dodged a blow to his left side and jumped over a blow to his legs. He wasn?t going to fight quite yet, he would defend himself, but not major damage. Now he was merely analyzing the situation. He deflected a blow from an axe, and cut the guys wrist, then jumped backwards. He looked over his enemies. They were all of a giant physical stature, and would easily go down if he attacked their Achilles heel. He smiled and disappeared. His opponents gawked around trying to look for him, but a cold chill went up their spine when his voice cam from up above. [B]?Strength can be a key factor in any fight?But strength can easily brought to it?s knees by the blade of a sharp mind.?[/B] They looked up, but he wasn?t there. Suddenly the leader staggered and fell flat on his face, screaming and cringing in agony. He ankles were bleeding, his Achilles heel had ben ripped open on both legs. Aldian?s voice flittered through the air again. [B]?And all will feel the effects of one?s defeat.?[/B] A blade pierced through the heart of another of them, and his head tilted back and blood dripped from his eyes and mouth. Aldian removed his blade and cleaned it on the behemoths shirt. The last one was left, paralyzed with fear. Aldian smiled and ran at him ferociously, striking at every part of his body that wouldn?t kill him. The warrior lay on the ground, defeated, but Aldian wanted to discover what the anatomy of Guardian of the Darkness was. Abigor ran up from behind him, grabbing both of his arms and pulled his body against him. Aldian fought ferociously against him to be left free, but Abigor would not loosen his hold. Finally Aldian came to his senses and stopped fighting against his ally. Abigor let him go cautiously. Aldian raised up his blade and pierced the G.o.D. between his eyes. He removed his blade and looked to Abigor, smiling faintly. [B]?Thanks brother? Lets get out of here. I?ve had enough of the festivities for tonight. I need to get back to my studies.?[/B] [B]Notes/Other:[/B] Abigor is like Aldian?s brother, and they keep each other in check. Aldian had a tattoo on his neck of a [URL=http://altreligion.about.com/library/glossary/symbols/bldefsfitchy.htm][Cross Fitchy][/URL].[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Thayne's eyes flickered open wearily. He glanced around the room he was in and jumped up in shock, prepared to tear the place to shreds in dillusion. Luckily his senses kicked in, and he stopped himself before he burned the room and it's healers. They were looking at him, not with fear, but with understanding. He sighed and plopped into bed. [B]"Hmmm...I don't sense many of the others. Where are they?"[/B] A voice swam in from the hallways. "They should be here any moment now." Thayne looked over to see Father Alba walking in. Thayne smiled and stood up, embracing the man. Father Alba was a renowned healer, and Thayne had met him on many occasions. He was a good man. [B]"Good... But my heart is still heavy, father."[/B] Alba smiled and sat down, and Thayne did so as well. Alba ad a calm aura, so despite the sorrow Thayne felt, he still was at peace. Father Alba spoke. [B]'Don't worry yourself. Ena is coming back with Kalei and Talyn, and Sin has made an alliance with us."[/B] Thayne smiled faintly. [I]An alliance... It's not the same as him being our friend. Once we've beaten Malik...[/I] He shok his head and turned to Alba. [B]"Thank you. That news brings me joy. Regardless of what's happened to the team, so long as it's still the team, everything is alright."[/B] Thayne felt a strong energy surge throughout the manor, and distinguished it as three auras. Kalei, Talyn, and Ena. Apparently, since receeding to his true vampire form, Sin could no longer walk in the sun.[I] Pity.[/I] Thayne stood up and clasped Father Alba's shoulder before announcing that he would journey around the manor to get a feel for it. He instantly headed for the staircase, walking down to the third level from the fifth. Ena was there, and he needed to see if she had been helped or not. Shame was, his question was answered before he got there. A scream echoed through corridors and up the staircase, and a loud crash accompanied it. Thayne flew down to the source of the explosion to find Talyn on the ground and Ena above him. She had become a full vampire. Thayne smiled hollowly, dying a little more on the inside. [I]She's gone too...[/I] He walked over to her, smiling. [B]"Hey, Ena. I'm glad to see you're alright...but why would you attack Talyn? Aren't you still on our side? At least if only temporarily? Think ab---"[/B] Her foot collided with the side of his face and sent him rearing. The same things apparantley [sp?] happened to every vampire when first turned. Savage bloodlust, inability to rationalize thoughts, and violent tendencies. When would it pass over? Talyn's voice broke through his thoughts. [B]"Thayne. Don't hurt her. She'll come to any moment. Just...stay alive. And wakanda."[/B] Thayne smiled and dodged a succesion of blows from Ena. He yelled back to Talyn. [B]"Will do, Cap. Can't gaurantee anything, though."[/B] [CENTER][B]+++++[/B][/CENTER] OOC: Had to get a post in. PM me Ena or Talyn if I did anything wrong. BY the way, in case you couldn't tell, this starts off before Kalei, Talyn and Ena arrive at the Manor.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Dante landed gracefully after striking Old Death's arm. He spun around and narrowly dodged two more bullets. He backflipped, landed on a table, and handlessly cartwheeled off of it, but not fast enough to dodge the bullet. It grazed his right arm, but that wasn't going to stop Dante, not by a long shot. He hit the ground holding his arm anf slid under a table for protection. Old Death laughed. [B]"Impressive, V. I'm glad you challenged me instead of T. You're proving to be quite the challenge."[/B] Date laughed and retuned the compliment. [B]"You're not bad yourself, Old Death. There's rarely ever been a bullet I couldn't evade. You should pride yourslef in having hit me twice. But those won't go unrepayed."[/B] Old Death grinned and started chuckling. [B]"Have at it, then."[/B] Dante flipped the table over, sheathed his blade, and pulled out his handgun. [I]Time for a shoot-out.[/I] He shot twice at Old Death, who rolled to the left in time to evade actually being shot, but his jacket had been punctured. He returned fire, shooting a hole into Dante's right glove, which he had removed in anticipation of the blast. [B]"Nice. Never seen that kinda awareness in a warrior before."[/B] Old Death said amusedly. Dante was starting to regret having to kill him. He was growing fond of his advesary. [I]Pity.[/I] Old Death took advantage of Dante's lapse in movement to shot him in the same shoulder again. Dante roared with pain, and dropped to the ground. Old Death walked towards him, barell smoking. He was ready to end it. But Dante wasn't. He fired to distraction shot from the ground, flung his handgun at Old Death and ran at him barefisted. His frist punch connected right with Old Death's jaw, sending him rearing, and giving Dante enough time to grab his handgun from midair and put it back at his side. He grinned at Old Death. [B]"Your move."[/B] [CENTER][B]+++++[/B][/CENTER] [B]OOC:[/B] Feel free to take it from here Lionheart.

[CENTER][color=#666600][B][u]Aldian, Son of Baranor, Captain of the White Company[/u][/B] [size=1]A cool breeze washed over the plains of this valley, but it was tainted with a putrid stench. The stench was almost impossible to ignore, and thus for a captain in search of villainous creatures, this was exactly what he needed. The captain and his men stood gazing down at the filth known as Orcs, who were feasting on the flesh of Men. The captain sneered in disgust but continued to watch the beasts, as a hawk watches his prey. A foot soldier came running up to him, stopped, and raised his fist to his chest. The captain mirrored the gesture and spoke. His words were liquid, cool and flowing, but when angry they burned with fury. [B]?What information do you have for me??[/B] The young soldier recoiled slightly. He had just joined their ranks, and he was slightly intimidated by the captain. Though only of the race of Men, his aura was that of an elve's, quick, decisive, knowledgeable, yet deadly. He appearance was far from intimidating, regardless of his six foot height. His handsome face, along with his black with blue-gray streaked, spiked hair would give one the impression that he was young to battle. Even young to life itself. But his eyes?His thoughtful, serene dark blue eyes made him powerful. He was the mighty Aldian, son of Baranor, first captain of the White Company. Aldian tapped his foot impatiently. [B]?Well??[/B] The soldier regained his wits and spoke swiftly. [B]?There about twenty of them, my lord.?[/B] Aldian nodded and fell deep into thought, before unsheathing his blade and looking it over. The blade was straight, and did not have a conjoining point, but an edge. His cross guard was cross shaped, matching the cross necklace and three cross ring he wore. However, the necklace and the ring were silver and black, but his hilt was brown, and beautifully adorned. He sheathed his blade and turned to the rest of his men, calling them over. There were only 13 of them, but they were one of the most powerful guilds of the race of Men. He addressed his men sternly. [B]?Alright, men. We?ve been hunting this scum down for days. And here they are now in front of us. To wait to engage them in battle would be dishonorable. We strike now, after they are feasted and have been well-rested---.?[/B] The young soldier interrupted then. [B]?Now! B-bb-but they?re at optimum power right now! They?ll tear as to shreds!? [/B] Aldian looked at the young man and backhanded him. The young man recoiled and fell back out of shock. Aldian stood over the young man and his words lit ablaze. [B]?Don?t ever blacken our honor! We don?t strike at an opponent while their at their weakest unless absolutely vital! We are not like them! We do not attack villages, unsuspecting people while they are asleep. Even if they do not engage in the proper rules of combat, should we lower ourselves to their level by doing the same? No, we fight them at their best, at out best. Men, make haste and ready your weapons. To battle!?[/B] A cheer roared from Aldian?s men, and even the youngest of them was filled with courage. They readied their weapons and stood atop the hill gazing at the Orcs. Aldian smiled, drawing his blade, and let out a mighty cry, allowing the Orcs enough time to garb their weapons. He pointed his blade forward and howled at his men, his brothers. [B]?Attack!?[/B] They rushed at the Orcs, who stood ready with their axes, their blades, and their hammers. Combat was fierce and heated, and the sound of metal against metal, and even metal against skin could be heard for miles. Aldian engaged their leader, and their battle was the most spectacular of them all. The Orc chief wielded a long sword, and was quite impressive with it. Aldian stabbed at his chest, but the chief used his blade to slide the attack to the right, then bashed his head against Aldian. Aldian recoiled, and the chief drew his blade back, then struck swiftly. Aldian dodged to the right, and swung at the chief just as the chief was spinning to strike him. Their blades clashed mightily, and the sound reverberated throughout the valley. Their battle ensued for what seemed to be an eternity, before the chief slipped up. He believe he held the upper hand, so began to disregard Aldian as a true opponent. He struck at Aldian?s blade, and then spun to chop off his head. When fully rotated, Aldian dodged down, and then stabbed straight through his stomach. The Orc grunted in pain as Aldian shoved his blade further into him. Blood dripped from his mouth as his body fell limp. Aldian removed his blade from the Orc and killed three surrounding him almost instantaneously. He looked over the battle swiftly, and saw that the same lad who had questioned him was in trouble. He sprung over there, attacking an enemy he ran past, and managed to stab the Orc in the heart right before it could drive it?s blade into the youth. All the other battle ended simultaneously, and with that, the battle was done. Aldian looked down at the young man and smiled. [B]?See? We emerge victorious.?[/B][/color][/SIZE] [SIZE=1]+++++ [B]OOC:[/B] I hope everything is in order. Please infrom me if I need to change anything. It's slightly longer than 800, but I just got into this post. ^_^; [B]EDIT:[/B] Only just realized I typed Urgals instead of Orcs this whole time. Sorry.[/SIZE][/CENTER]

[SIZE=1]Thayne grinned as Noals body was knocked to the ground forcefully. He was clearly winning this battle, and Noals knew it as well. Just as Thayne went to deal the finishing blow, his heart was struck with a great sadness, that spread throughout his entire being and renderes him motionless. Noals took this to her advantage and kicked him in the chest, as she walked towards his immobile body, she was amazed at what she saw. Tears were streaming down Thayne's face. [B]"What's happened to us? What's happened to the Wakanda's who vowed to bring down the Vampire race? How come we continue...to lose more to your side?"[/B] He looked at Noals accusingly. She quickly felt for presences on the grounds and was delighted to find that they had another Wakanda/ Vampire hybrid joining them, and that Sin to would be eay to recruit. They came for one ally, and would possibly be leaving with 3. Thayne could not bring himself to move as he felt the emotions running through Ena's head. He could feel Tegan as well, who had already undergone a horrid transformation. The only one's stll on the side of the Wakandas now was Kalei, Katima- though something told him that she might not be for long-, Ena's students, and Talyn. Without Talyn's serum, however, he too was liable to Sin's fate, though Talyn had been Wakanda first, so he could possibly resist. Noals could feel the sorrow fill throughout Thayne's body, consume his soul, render him defenseless. But, instead of finishing him off, she hoped to play into his weakness. She hoped that they might, instead, leave with 4 allies. She sat beside him. [B]"Might it not mean something? You trusted all of these people, no? They were your family, right? Maybe they're not the one pursuing the wrong choice...maybe you are."[/B] Thayne was shocked by Noals words, and was to hurt to see past her deception. [B]"I...I don't know...NO!"[/B] A pillar of flame erupted from the spot he sat. Noals did not flinch, however. She could feel his emotions taking hold, and regardless of which emotion controlled him, he'd be easy to manipulate. She was wrong, however. Thayne unleahsed all physical barriers on himself, and unleahsed energy so powerful it tore Noals apart. She was left cringing on the ground, unable to move from that spot. Thayne grabbed to items from his back and laughed dryly. [B]"Sin...Ena...I'm sorry."[/B] He flew off in their direction, and found them departing from Talyn's body. Thayne landed, walked right up behind Sin, and made to stake him. Sin narrowly dodged it, amazed. Ena stared in disbelief as well. Sin spoke, confused. [B]"Trying to kill me? You said you wouldn't. That you'd never give up one me. Why now, eh buddy?"[/B] Thayne spun the stakes in his hand, his eyes blank and emotionless. He tossed at stake to Talyn, who stood up and joined him. Thayne laughed again, his hollow, empty laugh. [B]"And you kept telling me that if push came to shove, I'd have to do it. So let's just say, I'm taking your advice. But htis is between us. You were my brother once. I want the right to kill you."[/B] He turned to Ena, and his voice filled with compassion again. [B]"Ena, please! Look at him! Do you truly want to follow in his footsteps? Talyn, though reluctantly a vampire, is still on our side! He still fights for his friends, not against them! Even if you choose to be a vampire a 'punishment', would you not still stay as---"[/B] His sentence was interupted by Sin's fist in his cheek. Thayne hit the ground and spat up blood. Sin smirked. [B]"Enough! You were always a foolish one. Talk, talk, talk. Never enough action! You want to take us down, then do it!"[/B] He thrust his foot at Thayne's chest. Thayne caught it, and lit Sin's pants on fire. Sin jumped back to put himself out. Thayne frowned. [B]"Fine! I will fight you...but not Ena. Not yet. There's hope for her. There's little hope for you...but I won't kill you unless I'm sure there's none."[/B] Thayne lunged a this former friend, fist pulled back to strike.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Thayne watched in horror as all of the events in the manor ensued. Tegan and Kalei were gone, Sin had turned on them and was now going after Ena, and Katima was probably in danger. At least his gut feeling told him this. He ran over to Talyn to help him up. [B]"Talyn! We gotta go find Katima and get her somewhere safe. Then we can take care of Sin. He obviously needs our help---"[/B] Talyn interrupted him. [B]"We can worry about that later. Right now, we have our own problems."[/B] Talyn pointed down the hallway and Thayne followed his gaze. When he saw who it was, he growled with anger. Noals, who Thayne had though Talyn killed, and Phineas was before them. Thayne lifted Talyn up and then grabbed his blade. [B]"Hmph...Noals. I suppose it's good to see you again. I never did get a chance to properly thank you for our last encounter."[/B] Thayne thrusted his blade at Noals, who gracefully dodged it and began laughing. [B]"That's it? That was my thank you? Pretty weak if I say---"[/B] A fist collided with the side of her face, sending her flying down the hall past Talyn. She hit the ground once, then bounced up and landed on her feet. She spat up blood and glared at Thayne. Talyn made to attack her, but Thayne stopped him.' [B]"No. This time, she's mine."[/B] Talyn shrugged and walked over to Phineas. Noals grinned at Thayne playfully. [B]"So...seems like you've gotten stronger, little wakanda brat. Still no match for---"[/B] A plume of flame launched at her and she barely dodged it. Thayne was angry now, and it was showing. [B]"Jesus! All you fucking do is talk about how superior you are. Well I've got news for you, bitch. I don't plan on losing to you this time. I'm far stonger than you think."[/B] She laughed and assumed a battle stance. [B]"Let's go then!"[/B] She lunged at Thayne, who in turn lunged at her. Their fists collided mid-air, launching them backwards. Thayne hit the wall with his feet and launched himself off of it, and straight past Noals. She laughed again. [B]"Hahahaha! So powerful, but with lousy aim, eh?"[/B] Thayne spun around and grinned. Flames were licking his body and he had his arms pulled in towards him. [B]"Who said anything about trying to hit you? I was trying to trap you!"[/B] He fired a wall of flames at Noals, knocking her through the wall, and outside. Into the obstacle course.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Dante entered his current place of residence and laughed, catching the attention of his subordinates. He walked casually to th einner bar and got himself a drink. He sat at the counter for a while, examinging his drink, brought it to his lips, took a long drink, and thre the empty cup towards thw wall. He quickly unsheathed his dagger, spun it, and launched it into the glass, causing it to shatter. Quicker than the eye could see, he drew the handgun from his side and shot the shattered glass. [B]"Heh...Pretty imppresive. I take it was a good night then, eh big V?"[/B] Kain's voice flittered from the couch. He leaned his head back to stare his friend in the eye. They were the closest of the bunch, only because they both prefered a speedy, yet entertaining mannerism of man-slaughter. P was too...[I]wild[/I], in her battles. And Felix, rather, H was ruthless. He didn't take the time to enjoy it. Dante grinned. [B]"When doesn't it go well, eh buddy? What you been up to all night? No, let me guess. You've been [I]sleeping[/I]."[/B] Dante broke out into laughter. Kain rolled his eyes and drew his daggers in an irritated manner, spinning one on his right pointer finger. [B]"Well, some of us, who know what are mission is, have been resting and training so that we can take down the Epidemic. I realize this isn't your first concern, but none-the-less, we're getting paid for this. Don't fuck it up."[/B] Dante laughed and poured two drinks, walking over to the couch and handing one to Kain. [B]"Lighten up. They said our main objective was to take down the Epidemic, but that we could also take to the streets and take care of problems down there. That gal was merely a target. I just figured that she should go out a with a bang."[/B] Kain rolled his eys, and smiled slightly, pointing to the hallway. Dante looked over and grinned. P was walking out of her room, and she was fully prepared to leave. Dante sighed slightly. [I]I guess everyone else has been getting ready...[/I] He smiled warmly and walked over to P, bowing and kissing her hand. He raised his head just so that he could look into her eyes. [B]"Good evening, my dear. Good to see you are well. I hope you're well rested."[/B] P smiled and lightly removed her hand from his. [B]"Well rested? It's basically nighttime. I've been up for a good 12 hours. But thank you for your concern. However, don't get any ideas. You're still not getting any from me."[/B] Kain stifled a laugh. Dante grinned and shrugged. [B]"Eh, he probably figures it's always worth a shot."[/B] Felix uttered as he strode from his room. Even when casually walking around, the man was fast. He walked over and took a seat at one of the bar stools. [B]"So...What's the gameplan?"[/B] Dante dropped his usual demeanor and replaced it with that of a serious leader. He walked turned around and walked from them, talking as he paced. [B]"The Epidemic has been spotted at The Quarantine Zone. Now would be the most opprotune time to strike. Asides," he said grinning,"there'll be plenty of onlookers to tear through if it comes down to it."[/B] Felix and P said nothing, Kain was the only one who appreciated the comment. The other two were viscous, but really didn't have much control over that. [I]Whatever.[/I] [B]"Word is that the Experiments'll be joining the party as well. Should be pretty interesting. Though the experiments are our enemy as well, we could use them in a temporary alliance, then turn around and stab them in the back. Sound good?"[/B] They nodded enthusiatically. Dante smiled broadly, removing his blade from the wall and reloading his handgun. [B]"Now...shall we go?"[/B][/SIZE]

[color=#333300][SIZE=1]Helios and his friends fought gallantly against the creatures, but it seemed to no avail. They just kept coming, no matter how many were defeated. Helios looked backed to Athena, hoping she would offer some sort of asistance, some sort of help at all. But alas, all she did was watch, leaving them to fend for themselves. Helios dealt a sharp blow to the chest of his nearest enemy and launched a wall of fire at those behind him, but he was still overwhelmed. An arrow shot forth from his left, creating a mighty torndadoe that carried his assailants away. Artemis ran over to him and helped him up, embracing him tightly. [B]"Are you okay?"[/B] Helios nodded and looked back to the battle. His alies seemed to be in a similiar position. Alone, their power was great, but not enough to ensure victory. But together... He called the others to him swiflty. They all heeded to his command and sprung over to him. That lapse in combat was just enought time for the creatures to have them surronded. Peres sighed. [B]"A lot of good that did us."[/B] Helios silenced her with a movement of his hand and adressed his comrades as a whole. [B]"Our strengths were obviously not meant to be used alone, or else I'm sure this would not have happened to us as a group. We must use our powers in unison!"[/B] He grinned and spun to face his enemies. He yelled. [B]"Cerberus, Achilles!"[/B] Achilles jumped to the north of the group, and Cerberus the south, then they struck the ground with their mighty power, causing the ground to split and shake underneath the opponents. [B]"Pandora!"[/B] She summoned al of the energies in her body and unleashed them in a massive wave of energy, knocking the creatures backwards. [B]"Peres!"[/B] Peres concentrated and turned the Earth into giant spiked pillars, tearing straight through a good deal of the monsters. There were still a great deal left, but all was under control. They would wipe them out in one final [I]blaze[/I] of glory. [B]"Hade, Aries, Artemis!"[/B] Helios, Aries, and Hade summoned the fire energies within them and combined them into a massive sphere of destruction above them. Artemis spun the wind around it, faster and faster, untill it looked like a massive red discus. She shot the wind out around the group, in a spiraling motion all throughout the enemy lines. The creatures were burned to ashes, not one was left from the battle. The young warriors collapsed to the ground, their energy spent. Athena walked over, clapping, and stood before them. [B]"Very impressive... I'm glad to know that you could handle yourselves. If you had truly needed my help, then this world would have truly been lost."[/B] Helios grolwed at her and threw himself up, clutching hier shirt. [B]"Look! We're tired of not knowing what the fuck is going on. We want some answers, and we want them---"[/B] His sentence was interrupted by an explosive ripping sound from the sky. A massive white dragon ripped forth from the portal, and unleahsed a mighty roar. It had red eyes, and it's wing were unlike what Dragon's were imagined to have. They looked...angelic, to say the least. It to, had a symbol on it. [B]"The darkness has sent it's creature, the Grande Dragon."[/B] Helios continued to stare at the creature, and then noticed someting. On it's back were four cloaked figures. Three stood on it's back, and one hung from it's neck. The one on his neck yelled something, and then the dragon reared it's head back. He cocked it forward, emitting an orb of light, not unlike the one that starte dthis whole mess. Helios ran towards it. [B]"Not again! I won't let this destroy anyone else!"[/B] He ran towards it full speed, but to no avail. Right as he reached it, he struck the ground, and a pillar of light shot up from it. He sheileded his eyes as the light convered the area. As he looked down at the center of the light, something amazinf happened. The plants in that very spot began to grow, and the land reformed. As the light spread, it healed all of the destruction, and even the slain children were revived, but once again in there normal states. The light spreadthroughout the city, then dissapeared. Helios looked to Ahtena, dumbfounded. She smiled. [B]"I know you must all of have many questions, but I fear now is not the time to answer them. I have many matters I must attend to now, so I must leave you all to ponder these events. On Saturday, ask for entrance into the Central Clocktower. There, I will tell you the truth, but for now,"[/B] she looked towards the school and thenran off in the other direction, [B]"you must go about your lives as normal." [/B] Helips watched as she ran off, confused. [I]Like normal?[/I] A voice boomed from behind them, and then and angry headmistress came out of the school. [B]"Well, well. Playing hooky are we? You've all just earned yourselves a week of afterschool detention!"[/B] She walked behind them, and pushed the students towards the school. Then suddenly a thought dawned on Helios, an awe-inspiring one that he did not notice earlier in his shock. He truned to the other s quickly. [B]"Did anyone else notice who exactly Athena was?!?"[/B] They thought carefully, and their eyes opened wide in shock as the realization dawned in them to. Artemis was the onyl one who could say it. [B]"Athena...Is the Queen of Central City."[/B][/SIZE][/color] [SIZE=1][CENTER][B]+++++[/B][/CENTER] [B]OOC:[/B] Well, the mystery thickens, and our heroes are left confused and without answers. All of there answers will be answered on Saturday by the Athena, the newly revealed Queen. It's only Thursday, however, and out heroes must wait in anguish for the answers they so seek. Your character should spend the next two days mentally recooperating, training, examing the city, and noticing that the citizens of the town now have two odd tatooes on both of their wrists. On the left, the darkness. On the right, the light. What could this mean? [B]OOC2:[/B] I apologize for the over dramatization, but I really was getting into that post. ^_^[/SIZE]
