RPG The Realm of Imagination

[Skitto]

Back in his house in Asgard, Rein made an interesting discovery.
He was sitting in his comfy chair eating chips and thinking about what would happen next, when a thought almost knocked him over. The thought was, [i]Where have all the people gone?[/i] It seemed that ever since he had appeared to help Arunue, Garren and the rest on their quest, the general populace of humans had disappeared.
Rein stood up and went to the bedroom that he and Symoni shared, Symoni looked up from the book that she was reading, "What is it Rein?" she asked. Rein walked over to her, "I need to go see my brother, it isn't a time of peace yet," he said and kissed her before leaving. Rein didn't even think to wonder why she had just let him go, but he did think that [i]We should get married soon if we love each other this much[/i], then he left.
Rein decided not to take the easy way to see his brother, he would dimension travel to Midgard, but he wouldn't instantly transmit himself with his divine will. He would fly and check the major cities to see if any people were there at all, just to make sure, and then he would fly to his brother's location.
Rein transported himself to Midgard's "Realm of Reality" and went to the closest city he could find. He searched and searched, all over the metropolis he searched for any humans... none. He went to city after city, looking here, looking there, looking underground, and in the air, but no matter how hard he looked, no one was there. He had a thought and transported himself to the Sera, he was relieved to find... half of the population. As he watched, people disappeared into thin air. [i]How is this possible, what force could be-[/i] he broke off mid-thought as he caught sight of a dark figure moving through the crowd and taking them to an unknown place. He hadn't seen it before, but he realized that he hadn't been employing his godly powers. Now he was employing them, and he saw the figure.
It was Ios, the second verse of creation, the creature created after Uni. Uni was first made to be life and beginning, Ios was made for death and end. But now that Uni was evil apparently, Ios had joined his side. So now he was taking humans to? where? The void? Nifleim? After Hodur?s death Rein was sure that other evil beings might reside there, but why were the humans being taken there? And if they weren?t being taken to Nifleim then where were they going to? Rein couldn?t be sure, but he would have to tell his brother first, Toshi would probably act foolishly and do something drastic.
Rein transported himself to where Riv was sitting under the shady tree. ?Riv,? Rein said this to get his brother?s attention. It worked and Riv looked up at him then back at the ground, ?I let her go, I couldn?t stop her. Rail is going to keep destroying because of --,? Riv was cut off by Rein using his powers in rage, he burned down the tree with ease and fury. ?Stop seeping in guilt when there is no need!? he yelled and almost instantly Riv looked up again with the usual light in his eyes, he said, confused, ?Oh-- sorry Rein. I guess that I?m not used to failure and slipped into a guilt soaked alter ego.?
Rein stopped his flame and shook his head with a smirk on his face, ?Riv, you are going to have to get used to failure. Failure will happen to you more than once, you can?t get around it,? he said. Then he remembered what he was there for after a pause and said more seriously, ?Riv, we need to stop Uni, he is taking all the humans somewhere. Didn?t you notice that they are gone?? Riv looked surprised. ?Well, I guess I guess I knew,? he said, ?but I never really noticed it, strange that no one else has either.?
Riv suddenly remembered something, "Rein, I know how to defeat Rail," he told his brother. Rein looked at him as if he were the enemy, "Why the HELL didn't you tell me before!?!" he exclaimed, "I forgot," said Riv simply, "I've been sort of out of it for a while now."
Rein looked at the sky in exasperation at him, "Just tell me."
"We need to get Hiroshi, Toshi and Rayne back before I will tell anyone," Riv told him. Rein rolled his eyes and sighed, "Lets just get going then," he said. Rein and Riv searched for Hiroshi's signal first, he was in the same realm they were in, two miles south, sitting and conversing with Arunue who was inside him.
Riv got up and used his sword Lemaria to move him through the air by using its light as legs while Rein flew beside him. When they arrived Hiroshi was still talking with his sister, they told him the situation and that he was needed to help destroy Rail, and he of course wanted to get back at that bitc-- bit of a meanie (the author winks to the reader) for what she had done. Next was Rayne, he was no problem. Since Rayne was dead they could simply go to the void and get his body and bring it to Asgard where his soul was and Rein could revive him.
After they did this Riv explained to Rayne what he was needed for and he obliged as well. Next was Toshi, who might not be that responsive. Rein sensed that he was, to their utter surprise, FIGHTING RAIL! The group went as quickly as they could to save Toshi from getting himself killed. Rein used his realm jumping technique alternatively to jump through the space of the "Realm of Reality" instantly to where Toshi was about to lose his life for nothing.
Meanwhile, Toshi was lunging at Rail and commencing the battle, but when he got about five feet away from her when the Rein, Hiroshi, Riv, and Rayne appeared and grabbed him and used the realm warping space warp alternative to take him somewhere safe.
Ten minutes later Toshi and Veil and the others sat down in Veil's main room. All eyes were on Riv. Riv told them what they must do, that they must fuse their bodies, except for Hiroshi who already had in a way fused with his sister. Rein and Rayne understood Riv, while Toshi had totally missed the point. "Hey, he's my brother, but I'm not going to go so far as to do [i]that![/i]" The others, including Veil looked at him as if he were, well, him. ?Toshi, I have no idea how you got that kind of twisted idea,? Veil said, ?just do it for me, okay??
Toshi swallowed hard and nodded his agreement.

[Box Hoy]

Toshi looked to the ground. "Just as long as I can be in control and Rayne leaves my body," Toshi said. He and Rayne had been fused before after all.
Veil smiled at Toshi and kissed him. He smiled. "I love you Toshi," she said. Rayne held his axe. "Riv. There is one other way in which would make us even more powerful and still able to have our bodies to oursleves. What we would do is fuse our souls. The same way Toshi and I did so many years ago," Rayne said.
Toshi nodded. "After you left my soul I had some training to do," Toshi said. Hiroshi rubbed his chin.
"I can tell," he said. Toshi looked over at him. Hiroshi smiled. "It's only obvious that you aren't that powerful Toshi, and smart. You thought you could beat Rail all by yourself," Hiroshi said.
Toshi drew his sword and got in Hiroshi's face. "You have no idea how much stronger I am than you," Toshi said. He withdrew his sword and sat back down when something came to mind.
"Rein. When we were coming back didn't you say that the people are vanishing from our world," Toshi asked. Rein nodded.
"Then the Realms of Myrith are now our battleground where no civilians can be injured. We can use this to our advantage," he said.
Symoni came into the room. Rein kissed her and pulled up a chair for her to sit in. "This is the end of our troubles. We will finish Rail and be at peace again. Remember to not underestimate Rail for she is one of the strongest people we've ever fought," Toshi said trying to motivate the others. He looked to Symoni.
"Are you going to come or are you going to stay," Toshi said. Rein looked to Symoni.

OCC- Hey guys. Come on. I want Arunue to be able to finish this one up and not me this time because nobody was posting. If it's because you guys think that the thread makes no sense we'll fix it after we're done.

[Skitto]

OCC: we need to keep this story going so that it'll be a good sized book plz, don't end it now.

IC:
Suddenly Kieko came into the room from upstairs where she had been moved from the capital infirmary, her eyes were glazed, her face expressionless. Symoni came up to her not realizing these strange features, "Welcome back Kie!" she said cheerfully, "you were out for so long we almost forgot you---were." The others were now looking at Kieko, the lifeless entity walked around Veil's couch and out the door, now Symoni saw Kieko's zombie-like facial features. Rein had a thought, "She'll take us to the missing humans if we follow her," he said, "but we'd have to let the second verse called Ios take us, [i]and[/i] we're not ready." This last part was much quieter as Rein finished his thought and realized that if they were taken to Uni they would have to be as strong as possible to defeat him.
Riv got the general idea of Rein's thought and clarified it with his brother, "You're thinking that we need to fuse first, right?" Rein nodded, "But we need to fuse our souls temporarily in order to gain full control of the physical fusion, and Toshi wants full control," Toshi looked up as if he had suddenly been chosen to be the first person to go into space without a helmet. "No, I don't want total control!" he exclaimed. "I just want to have [i]some[/i] control, not all of it!" Rein nodded to him, then looked around the room at Hiroshi/Arunue, Riv, Toshi and Rayne, who nodded at him in answer to his unspoken question. "Alright then," he said, "let's do it," Riv then explained how they were supposed to fuse, they were to make a triangle with the pairs of siblings, then hold their right hand in front of them, palm facing the inside of the triangle. Riv said that when they did that, if they were the right people for the fusion, they would be drawn towards the inside of the triangle and fuse into one body, one mind, and one person. "Who told you about this type of fusion?" Rayne asked, Riv shrugged, "I've just always known it I guess, born with the technique etched into my soul, we should do it now." Without fuss or any more nods, the six meant to do the fusion stood up and formed the triangle, Toshi and Rayne were one corner, Hiroshi took one by himself, then Rein and Riv as the third. They held their hands out in front of them, and began to be drawn towards the center and towards themselves.

[Box Hoy]

OCC- Alright. We really need to get our act together. FRIGGIN POST PPL.

IC- Toshi and Rayne began their fusion of bodies but something went wrong. The two did not fuse nor do anything. Toshi turned his concentration to Rein who was starting his fusion with Riv. Rein looked at Toshi. "What's the matter," he asked?
Toshi looked at Rein. "Something happened. It didn't work," he said. Rein made a confused look on his face. "But that could only mean you and Rayne aren't the pair of siblings that I'm thinking of," Rein said.
Rayne looked at Toshi. "We can still use the soul fusion technique," he said, "But we don;t know how to do it because it was cast upon the both of us as children by a wizard man," Rayne said.
Rein looked at Rayne and smiled. "That man was Takechi, a wizard that I trained in my younger days. We could still find him," Rein said.

[Skitto]

"Wait," said Riv, "Takechi was my grandfather! Maybe I could try to remember something that would be useful." Riv put his hand to his chin in thought, "He always was humming this oddly familiar tune, everyone thought it was familiar though they had never heard it, it went like this," he hummed a few notes. Toshi and Rayne were surprised, it was familiar to them. By now they had all sat down in the triangle formation. They all began to hum the tune.
And suddenly in the minds of all who hummed, a feeling of peace came. The peace grew, and grew, and then it finally happened. Toshi and Rayne drew together and fused their bodies, souls and minds, while the godly brothers did the same. The two newly created entities opened their eyes, startled. Hiroshi looked around, he seemed different to himself. He still looked like himself but something had changed, he looked around and thought to himself [i]Those stupid a**es finally got it, when I knew it all along.[/i] It which wasn't true, and yet wasn't really his own thought either, it seemed like something he would say, yet wasn't. It was Arunue, yet it was him.
They all had stopped humming by now and were looking around, they were just as surprised as he was. Riv/Rein was looking at a mirror that he had conjured up with his godly powers and staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar face to be looked at in the mirror. Toshi/Rayne was looking at his hands and trying to figure out what to think while his thoughts were his/not his.
The newly formed three looked at each other and remembered what had happened and what they had to do with it. They began humming again, and this time the peaceful feeling increased until they all thought their heads would burst with pleasure. Now they were drawing towards each other. Symoni looked on, too amazed to do anything.

OCC: We need to keep this story going until it makes the size of a novel

[Box Hoy]

Toshi and Rayne passed through each others bodies and then landed where the other had been. There was a blinding flash and as the light went down only Toshi walked forward. He smiled.
"It is time," he said.
Rein nodded. "You're power is great. Beyond what I may ever thought this thing was going to do. And your reaction time has greatly increased as well. You might just be able to defeat Rail if you give it your all," Rein said.
Toshi nodded but then Riv realized that Rayne was not there.
"Toshi. Where did Rayne go," he asked? Toshi smirked and then laughed. "He has already left," Toshi said.
Rein nearly fell over. Riv looked at Toshi in amazment. "He left that fast," Riv said. Toshi shook his head. Riv slammed his fist against a table and looked at Toshi with impatince.
"Well," Rein asked standing up again.
"He had no choice. Once the souls become one one of the two must leave and go to the furthest place away. He is in The Realm of Technology," Toshi said.
He drew his sword. "And now I have to go. Goodbye," Toshi said. And he disappeared to the Realm of Reality.

[ArunueShekamari]

OOC: Holly **** do you know how sorry i am? I only read the last few posts. I hope this makes sence. BUT IM SO SORRY IVE BEEN SO BUSY! thank you for keeping it alive!!!!!

IC: Toshi abeared in the Realm of Reality. He almost fell over whene he saw Hiroshi standing, bloody and panting in front of him. Rayne was behind him, cleaning off his sword. "Nice of you to show up Toshi!" Hiro yelled. "We've already got her down to a point of death! She fled to heal. We need to find her before she does!" Hiro wiped a bit of blood off of his face. Unfortunetly most of the blood covering him was his own. "Maybe i should let Arunue fight." Hiro closed his eyes and His body changed to a simaler one of Arunues. "hiro! is that the best you can do?" She said. Her hair was a bit longer and her eyes green but still aknowlageable as Arunue. "Well hello toshi. Hoiw bout we go find that sun of a b*tch now?" Toshi noded slightly and they walked over to where Rayne still stood.

OOC: Sorry it was so short! im busy as hell. But anywho. thank you so much for keeping it alive. I'll get Fire Phoenix and Noelle posting k? I'm so sorry ive been busy.

[Box Hoy]

OCC- Thanks Arunue.

IC- "Alright guys here we go," he said. Arunue smiled and made a fist. "She's mine," Arunue said. Rayne nodded and put his sword away then pulled out his axe. "Time to fly."
The three started walking. Toshi looked over to Rayne. "So where did she go," he asked? Rayne looked to the sky and then to the technological cities that surrounded him and the two he walked with. Toshi looked impatiently at him.
"See all these cities of machine and electricity Toshi. The sky is dark and there is never light here. The machines do the exact opposite as solar energy. They take energy from the darkness. It is much more powerful and it gives way more energy. The people and machines who live here have adapted to this and can see better in the dark than in the light so they conserve energy from creating lights. But... if they were subjected to light... then this city wouldn't gain any energy and the machines that need that energy every second would be shut down therefore the people who really needed them would not have those machines and would be subject to danger. Rail is hiding in the darkness. We can't see in the darkness and the only way we could see is with light. But like I said the people who lived here are reliant on these machines and they would shut down if darkness went away. We cannot do that and we have to wait for Rail," Rayne explained.
Toshi scratched his head and looked to Arunue who shrugged. Rayne shook his head but almost instantly hit the ground as Rail attacked him from behind. Toshi drew his sword and looked to Arunue who already had Kog'ii out and ready. The two slashed at Rail who ducked. The could see here clearly through the darkness of the city.
Rayne stood up and unleashed his fury with his axe at Rail. She was easily avoiding all of their attacks. Toshi realized this and put his sword away. He then closed his eyes and used his senses to locate Rail.
He launched off of the ground and then unsheathed his sword again and slashed at her. He connected but not knowing where.
Rail clutched the wound upon her arm. It was deep. She felt the blood trickleling down her arm. She pulled out a knife quickly and started to slice more deep cuts all the way along her arm. Blood was all over her arm. Rail started to cut her other arm and blood eventually was soaked across her other arm.
Rail looked to the three who could not seem to find her. This gave her the okay. She began to undress herself and upon her stomach she started cutting more. Then she started upon her legs. She stood up and her naked bloody body struggled to stay standing.
Rail closed her eyes. The blood stopped sripping from her fingertips and she smiled. Suddenly she started to yell. Arunue, Toshi, and Rayne looked over to the darkness that hide her. Arunue could feel Rail. She could sense Rail's adreneline increasing and going up but it did not stop.
Toshi gasped as he saw Rail starting to glow ( kind of like a blacklight does ). Rail was now wearing clothes again. She looked different now. She was very white and her fingernails her polished black. She had longer hair black hair that was in braids and she had tatoos all over her body that symbolized evil, hatred, and anger.
Rail smiled at the three. "I am no longer Rail. She has died. I am her daughter, Shara," she said.

[ArunueShekamari]

[FONT=Book Antiqua][COLOR=SeaGreen][SIZE=2]OOC: so it made sence! W007! lol...I was afraid that i was so messed up in here...oh my.....lol ^^ but whats with all the name changing? hmm? lol....and sorry if my posts are short. I dont have a lot of time to spend. Helluva busy person.

IC: Arunue shook her head. "Too much of the name changeing." She muttered to herself. Then she grabbed Kog'ii and her brothers sword Ankii and readied herself. "Well i need a bit of practice anyway. I havent gotten in a good fight for a long long time." Shara grinned. "You see me as a worthy oponent? I thought youd be like one of those cocky freaks, to full of yourself." Arunue laughed at this and calmed down. "Well....I see this as just another challen--" Toshi and Rayne cut her off in unision "SHUT IT!" They yelled. Arunue stared at them for a moment. Then she smiled to herself and got back into a fighting position. "This should be fun Shara, or whatever your name is." Shara nodded. "Yes it should." She charged the tree and put them all on the defense. Suddenly Arunue blacked out for what seemed like two seconds and opened her eyes, to see Shara standing over her with a sword to her throat. "Well. This is farmiliar. Exept i was in toshis position, wounded and unable to help." Arunue shifted her head over at toshi, who was sitting on the ground, one of his legs with the bones shattered and to Rayne, with a deep flesh wound in his stomach. "Im not going to kill you." Shara said. "Not yet." She took her sword back and went back into a fighting stance. "Your too fun to kill yet." Arunue laughed like laughing with an old friend. She jumped up like she hadnt been hurt and dusted herself off. She picked up her swords, Kog'ii and Ankii and re sheathed them. She then Unsheathed the twin daggers; Shani, Forecoming Light, and her brothers dagger, Lopen, Forecoming Love.[I beleive i got those right...@.@...iv confused myself!! amazing.] "I think ill use my daggers no" Arunue said spitting on the ground. Shara nodded and smiled, enjoying the competition.

OOC: mwahaha!? lol....^^ i haveth one question..........where is Garren, Keiko and my son? lol.....hhhmmmmm[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]

[Box Hoy]

OCC- Garren and Kieko are with Riv and Rein in the Realm of Reality in your apartment and Kano is in the Realm of Imaginations with KuroKy. Shara is the new Rail. Rail sort of semi died and was reancarnated in a much more powerful body and she named herslef Shara and proclaimed this to be her daughter.

IC- Toshi watched as Arunue start to fight with Shara. Shara slashed at Arunue and then kicked her onto the ground. Arunue looked at Shara and smiled. "You're powerful," Arunue said.
Rayne stood up clutching his stomach and then watched as Arunue and Shara continued to fight. He noticed something about Shara. She had a little blood on her arm. There was no evidence of a cut then it occured to him.
Shara was no Rail's daughter but Rail herself in a new body. A much more powerful body.

[ArunueShekamari]

[FONT=Book Antiqua][COLOR=SeaGreen][SIZE=2]OOC: im quite awar of every-whatever with rail....i only asked where Kano, Garren and Keiko were. Dont give unneeded informetion. It could be your downfall when i see you in court...wich probably will never happen......oh well......its people like you that go to jail for supplying uneeded info in court. [damn my horrible speed typing]

IC: Arunue blocked an attack then looked aover to Rayne and winked at him, aknowlaging that she knew what he was thinking. She then just barley missed getting a sword shoved through her chest. "HEY! I WASNT READY!" She yelled as she charged her. They continued to fight for an hour before Arunue stalled for a moment and lifted herself off the ground. "Hey rail! Or what ever your damn name is." She yelled from about ten feet above her. "I do believe you can levitate, can you not?" Arunue asked in a sarcastic maner. Shara scowled and threw an energy ball at her. Arunue easily dodged. "Is that the best you can do?" Arunue laughed.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT]

[No]

[FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]OOC: I'm sorry that i havent posted in ages!!! So much has been going on and I'm sick again. So more time at home thankfully. And I was so confused but now I'm kinda undrstanding what is going on becuase of Boy Hox's summary of where everyone was! ^^ Thanks! So...I'm just going to say that I'm waiting for everyone to come back...? I hope that works out...

--------------------------------

[I]Symoni looked around some and sighed deeply. She didn't know when they would be back or what was going on. She honestly wanted to know what was happening and if they were winning. Thinking to herself for a moment wondering if she was able to contact Rein or anyone at all from the group, from where she was at using mental abilities. But not sure if it would go to a different Realm. Sighing and tried her hardest to contact someone. Trying to talk to Rein to see if he was alright.

"Rein...love...are you alright...? What is happeneing....? Oh love please answer.."

She spoke softly to him hoping that he or someone would hear her and know who she was. Shaking some and shook her head trying to calm herself down as she waited for a reply. [/COLOR] [/FONT] [/I]

[ArunueShekamari]

[FONT=Book Antiqua][COLOR=SeaGreen][SIZE=2] Arunue happily dodged the attacks from Shara. "that the best you got?" Arunue yelled down, sarcatically. Shara scowled at her and Arunue dodged another attack. She looked around at the senery for a moment and sighed. "GAH! What the f*uck!?!?!" She yelled as she was hit with an energy attack and fell to the ground. Shara charged her with her sword and didnt sucede in sliting her throat, but cut her across the chest. "Damn" Arunue yelled, mad at herself for an unprotected vital point. A voice rang in her head, [i]Arunue! Your getting slow! let me fight.[/i] Arunue sighed and let Hiro change back to himself, now looking as in his own body. "Better." he said as he re-griped Lopen and Shanii. "My turn."[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]

[Box Hoy]

OCC- Thanks you guys. I didn't want this to turn out like the first where only me and skitto were posting. Oh man. Now I'm starting to cry. I hope you get better Noelle.

IC- Toshi looked to Rayne and smiled then looked back up at Hiroshi. Their victory was in sight. Toshi sat down and watched the fight with a happy look on his face. Rayne continued to stand up just in case something did happen but still. He had full confidence in Hirsohi and Arunue's powers. He held his axe in his right hand. Something still did not feel right though. Something...like a disturbance in all the energies of the universe beyond Myrith. He closed his eyes and then suddenly remembered Uni and how everybeing was leaving. Toshi looked up at Rayne. "What," he asked as if he knew that Rayne had something to say.
Rayne looked at Toshi and started to talk. "Toshi. Remeber how Uni is taking the people of Myrith. We have to stop him," he said.
Toshi realized this right as Rayne said those words. He drew his sword and stood up. "Let's return to The Realm of Imagination. Maybe Riv and Rein can help us fight Uni," Toshi said.
Rayne nodded and they looked to Hiroshi who was deep in battle with Shara. Toshi closed his eyes and sent a mental message to Hirsohi.
[I]Hiroshi. Rayne and I are leaving to fight Uni. Good luck with Shara. We'll be back soon[/I]
Toshi and Rayne realm warped back to the Realm of Imaginations. Riv and Rein looked up as a flash of light appeared before them both.
Toshi and Rayne walked out of light. "Hey guys," Toshi said. Riv walked forward some what anxious.
"So. Did you defeat Rail," he asked? Toshi scratched his and smiled. He turned around. "Well. Rail is no more. Now it's Shara. Her reincarnation. And no. She is not defeated yet. Hiroshi and uhh... Arunue are fighting her right now," Toshi explained.
"WHAT? Why aren't you helping them," he yelled. Rayne looked Rein in the eyes. "Because. We have other issues to deal wiht. Like te threat of Uni. He's been taking people from Myrith and without the people here the energies are, I think, becoming unbalanced and we'll need to return all of the population back and then defeat Uni," Rayne said.
Rein nodded and drew his sword out. He looked to Riv who had a serious look on his face. "Let's go," he said. Kieko walked out from another room in Arunue's house with her weapons ready.
"You can't leave," she said. Toshi smiled as she walked up to the group.
"What," Rayne asked?
" I didn't tell you but the reason I went in to a coma was because Rail. She made was following Toshi and I as we were going to Sera and she cas a dark spell upon me. While in the coma I had a vision of the future. A future that horrified. This is it. Arunue would kill Shara, who I still thought was Rail but we would not succeed in defeating Uni. Toshi. Rayne. You do also. As for Rein and Riv. You two are thrown beyond Myrith into somewhere, where you cannot return," Kieko said.
Toshi looked at Kieko. "As for you, Garren, Hiroshi, Symoni, and Arunue," he asked? Kieko looked to the ground.
"Well. Uni makes Garren and Arunue come to him and like everyone else. They are possessed. Kano, their son, goes into hiding with KuroKy. Hiroshi goes with him to protect him and they live as he few beings who are still in Myrith. Symoni commites suicide to be with her lover although she doesn't know if he is alive or dead. And I...I am one fo the people who remain in Myrith unharmed by Uni. But something happens that I fear more than anything in this vision. The creator of Uni comes to Myrith and with him all of the evils that we have fought so far. And they all have the wing of the crow. I don't know the connection yet but somehow he rules them. He makes them destroy Myrith and the rest of the Universe. Everything returns to nothingness and there is absolutly zero. Nothing at all. not even colors that represent nothing," Kieko stated.
Toshi looked to the others.

[ArunueShekamari]

[font=book antiqua][color=seagreen][size=2]Arunues voice rang in Keikos head, laughing. [i] Kieko!! long time no see! Now....a vision? Ha! You see. its very changeable. If there was an abilaty to have definit visions that could not be changed then there would be no meaning to life because there would be fate and every minute of our lives planned. Wich is proven wrong. So all we have to do. Is pay attention to the details and avoid them.[/i] Keiko spoke inside her head to Arunue [i] i thought you were fighting Shara?[/i] Arunue paused for a moment. [i] oh yaeh...thats right, i am arent i?[/i] and She went back to fighting.

Arunue laughed as shge doged Sharas attacks. "This is fun ya know?" She asked. "Very fun, arunue" Shara replied, showing with another attack. Arunue switched to offensive and charged her with Ankii and Shogii. "now you die." Arunue said as she shoved both swords through Sharas torso. "hmm?" she said as she looked down at the sword through her own stomach. They had stabbed each other at the same time. "Hahaha! Well....i guess now its the fighter that looses the least amount of blood." Arunue laughes and retracted her sword from Sharas stomach and took sharas sword out of her. They both stared at each other, breathing hard. Suddenly arunue collapsed. Then Shara grinned nd colapsed on top of her. Arunues body changed to hiros and he sat up. "whoo! Runue! ya beat her?" Hiro said as he looked over shara who appeared to be dead. "no. She wouldnt die THAT easily." He said as he poked her in the side. He felt her life energy. She was surley and truley dead. "Damn!" Hiro said as he stood up and sheathed the swords and daggers. Then his body changed to arunues and she shook her head. "I need to talk to Garren k Hiro? ill let you be present afterwards." She transfered herself to the realm of imaginations, infront of Toshi talking with kieko. "um. Ow." She said before she almost burst out laughing. "now. Where is Garren? and my son? and riv? any anyone else? maybe we need to get every one together...now."[/size][/color][/font]

[Box Hoy]

OCC- I HAVE AN IDEA!!

IC- Rayne looked at Arunue. "What's happened. Is Shara dead," He asked? Arunue shook her head and Rayne slammed his fist into a wall. "Dammit. Did she get away," he asked?
Arunue looked at Rayne in the eyes. "We escaped in a matter of speaking," Arunue said. Toshi walked up behind her and put his hand on her shoulder. "What happened," he asked.
Arunue sat down and looked at Rayne and Toshi who were both eager to hear what had happened. "I stabbed her with both the swords and she seemed like she was about to die but I collapsed from exauhstion (is that right) and she fell also. Then I switched to Hiroshi and he figured out that she wasn't dead," Arunue said.
Toshi sat down. "I got a good shot in. It would've been a perfect fatality," Arunue said. "It wasn't that. The energies are out of baalnce Arunue. You killed her only she didn't die. Something is protecting her," Toshi said.
Rayne continued to stand and think. "We're going to need everybody for this fight. Garren, Kieko, Symoni, myself, Toshi, Rein, Riv, and you Arunue," Ryane said, "We have to end this now."
Toshi stood up. "That's right Arunue. Why are we wasting are time waiting for the end to come when we're the ones who are supposed to bring it. We can't let them stay out there for ever. We're everyone's onlu hope and we have to fight. We have to continue to fight until we win. Even if Asgard falls, or the great Odin, god of all gods, died, we still would fight. I know you Arunue. You can't give up. We all can't and we won't," Toshi said.
Rayne stood there. In shock at what he had just hard come out of Toshi's face. This as the support they needed.

Tyr sat in his house, thinking about recent events. It was not true that everyone was disappearing, just the weak humans, not the strong ones like Toshi, Rayne, Toshi's girlfriend Veil, and Hiroshi were all still here. The Elves were still in full population and so were the Dwarves, Giants and other races of beings. No god was reported to have been missing, nor were any of the warriors whom had earned their residence in Asgard gone, only the humans... [i]peculiar that it should only be them,[/i] he thought. Tyr then went through all of the gods that still lived in Asgard and tried to sense their energy. He found all but Thor, god of thunder, the second strongest Aesir god ever known, next to Odin, and Rein was the third. It all came together in Tyr's mind, all the relatively weak minded beings were being taken because they were the only ones that could be taken, a stronger mind would resist and break free of whatever hold Uni or Ios had on their minds that enabled Ios to capture them and take them... where?
Tyr got up with a flurry of two realizations, the second strongest and most weak minded god was gone, controlled by Uni, and had been taken somewhere unknown to any being. They didn't know where he was, he could strike them down under the enemy's control at any time. Tyr went outside to tell his grandson.

[Box Hoy]

Uni flew in mid space around the crouds of beings he had gathered. "This should suffice," he said. He laughed as he stared at the millions of people and other various beings that were held within energy containments of his creation.
Within one of the containments was a small child. Kano. He was asleep like most of the other prisoners. Uni laughed.
Suddenly Shara appeared behind Uni. He did not notice her. Around her hand was a tatoo of some sort od tribal symbol. It started to glow. She held her hand up to Uni's back, although she did not touch him. A beam formed in her hand. Electricity sparked everywhere and Uni, in his stupidity, turned to face Shara.
Shara smiled at the fool. "All crows must die," she said. The beam shot off of her hand and covered Uni with swift hell. He started dissolve and break. His body was falling apart. His soul flew through darkness. Shara grinned and put her hand down and looked at the free air where Uni stood before. She looked to the long lines of people. "Thanks you," she said.
She closed her eyes and the people started to disappear and turn into energy spheres. When she was finished the entire area was filled with these energy spheres. All of the energy spheres flew within her body. But on the outside there seemed to be no physical change.
She walked forward and with every step a pulsepounding hell was brought upon all space. She looked down to the Realm of Reality which was located below her feet. "Goodbye," she said. Her tatoo started to glow and the beam appeared in her hand again. It was a tantalizing feeling. But she did not let it go. Somehting restrained her. It was Hiroshi. She still felt love and compassion towards her former lover. She turned around and with out warning she did the beam attack upon the Realm of Technology. The entire realm exploded and there was vast light upon the universe as it expanded outward.

Meanwhile in Asgard Tyr saw the explosion. It was a haunting sight. It had been night and all of the universe had been still until the light of the Realm of Technology lite the sky. It was seeping through the gateway everywhere around it. Tyr turned backwards and saw that night was still upon him there. He walked towards the the halls of Val' Halla. Odin sat upon his throne. Tyr entered and looked at the lord of all gods. Odin opened his eyes as he felt the presence of anotehr in his halls.

He looked upon Tyr. Tyr bowed to his lord and started speak. "Great Lord Odin. I fear to tell you but I have no other choice. In the ancient tounge of the first gods I speak of the Realm of Meta. It is no more," Tyr said. Odin looked wide eyed at the underling god. "How," Odin asked? Tyr shook his head.
"I am unaware of the source my lord. But see for yourself. The southern darkness of night within Asgard is now bright and shining," Tyr said. Odin put his hand upon his forehead.

Toshi was awakened by the lights seeping through the covering of the Realm of Reality. Arunue was sleeping in her room with Garren and Toshi was on a couch in their living room. It was true that his sister Ora's apartment had still not been rented because of a rumor spread but some that it was cursed. Toshi knew better and he was going to rent it out after the whole trivial experience was finished.
He lay awake in the folded out couch. Veil slept next to him and was holding him. The two were staying the night resting until the next day when everyone would fight the dark lord Uni. Light was coming through the west night when the sun was going to rise in the east soon. Toshi got out of bed and poured a glass of water for himself and then sat back down. He suddenly realized that he was only wearing boxers and he was quite chilly. He got back under the covers of the couch and looked to Veil. She was awake. She smiled. Toshi smiled back.

Odin walked into the portal that connected The High Realm of Asgard and the Under Realm together. Asgard was in control of this portal. He held his hand out to a clear like sphere that was supposed to be the key. He put his ahndw tihin it and the portal opened. He looked back to Tyr. "Once I have the answers to these questions I will return. Until then Tyr, you are in charge of Asgard and all of Myrith," Odin said.
Tyr kept a stern face on and Odin walked through the portal. It closed and Tyr turned around to head back to the Halls of Val Halla.

Shara was sleeping. She floated through the air. Her new found powers amde her unstopable. Odin flew downwards towards the Under Realm. He passed under her and felt the emence power eminating from her. Lost souls were held within her. He continued on.

Toshi was asleep again. The light of the explosion from The Realm of Technology had disappated. Riv walked into the living room from the extra room he'd been sleeping within. He looked to Toshi and Veil and he smiled. "Toshi. Best of luck to you as a father," Riv said. "I must go now. I don't know when I will see you again but it is an emergency I must attend to. Goodbye my friend," Riv said.

[Skitto]

Shara still sat floating in the Under Realm, she decided to take a walk around the Void and explore it. Now that she couldn't feel that much of the pain that had plagued everyone else who had gone there she would'nt be distracted by it. She tried, urged her newfound powers to go there, but it wouldn't work. "What the hell?!?" she yelled at the darkness, "Uni could do it! He is a part of me now, why can't I do it!?!" Rein flew up to her having heard her yelling as all else in that realm had, it was so quiet. "He has fooled you Rail," Rein said calmly, using her real name. "Don't you see? Uni can't be defeated... except by his master," Rein stared at the ground, then regained his composure and took the equivalent of a step in midair towards her and held his hands before her in a menacing way that... could it be!?! "Uni!!!" Shara exclaimed. Rein melted away right in front of her eyes, she looked around but saw nothing.
She kept looking. Then, suddenly, all of the captured humans and weak minded beings, Thor included, appeared. Then Rein followed suit, then melted away to leave the visage of Uni floating in front of her, but he seemed not to be floating. The air below him had solidified into a fully translucent floor.
Shara lowered herself to it, then dropped her mind's hold on the gravity around her, and she plummeted straight through it. "Farewell, you fool!" Uni called down from the floor that was his alone. "May your soul no longer exist after your death," the first verse muttered to himself. Then another being appeared beside him, it was Ios. Ios looked down at the forever falling Shara, or Rail the Confused. He turned to Uni, "I have already taken her, we will have no further trouble," said the second verse to the first. Uni didn't smile.

[Box Hoy]

Toshi woke with a startle. He was breathing heavily and he could hear voices coming from all around him. He looked out the window. The lights he had seen last night were no more as the sun shone upon all the realm. He got dressed and buckled his sword belt around his shirt. Finally he attached the sword and sheath to the belt.
He could still hear the screams. All around him. As if so much of the world had plummited into oblivion and there was nothing but eternal death surrounding him.
Toshi grabbed a peice of paper and started to write a note. When he finished he surveyed it over. Thsi si what it said:
"Dear everyone,
I'm leaving to figure out what has caused all the chaos last night and this morning. I can hear screams of so many. All around me. I feel that souls are becoming lost and I feel the worst for you Arunue. I can no longer sense your son Kano's screams of terror and fear. I think the energies of the world have abandoned us. We will soon be alone as Uni uses the people he's taken to become stronger. I'm sorry I'm doing this. But...I promise I will return. I promise.
see you all,
Toshi"

Toshi nodded and then walked to the door of the apartment. He taped it on the door and then left. As he walked down the street he could see not one person in the streets. He disappeared into the gateway.

[Skitto]

Rein also awoke at that same hour. He had felt in his subconscious state that Toshi's "Toshi," he said, "you still do not know that this time you cannot beat the enemy like you beat Hodur," he bowed his head in mourning for him. For Rein knew that he would not be able to persuade his young friend into coming back, for Toshi was a foolish hero, bounding off into war, totally blinded by heroism. "May the Fates be your allies my friend, so that you will come back to your love."

[i]In the Gateway, otherwise known as the Void...[/i]

Toshi stood in the pain trying to find Uni and Ios, the enemies. He searched for an hour before the pain became too much for him and he fell into the deep oblivion of the Void (Gateway) and slept. He was wakened later to the sound of Uni laughing, Toshi stood up and almost fell again as the pain found its way into Toshi's thoughts, so he resolved not to think about the pain and to focus on his fight with Uni? then had a stray thought about the pain which sent him back into the frightening pool of pain which seemed to have built itself up while he had forced himself to not think about it.
He had all these thoughts and feelings in about the span of fifteen seconds as he stood up and took a step towards Uni who was standing right in front of him. Toshi then lost hold of his ignorance of the pain and was engulfed in it, Uni was still laughing.
Toshi awoke once more to be in a great, lighted, white room with three white thrones fashioned purely of marble. Three beings appeared on the thrones and looked straight at him, they were women, one perfect and beautiful on the right, one average in the middle, and one horridly misshapen and ugly which was on the left. They all fixed their eyes on him, "You are very lucky, Toshi, to be in our presence," they all said in unison. Toshi was frozen under that gaze, but gathered up his courage finally to ask them who, or what, they were, "We are the Fates, or Norns as the Aesir call us," they responded, still in unison, "no mortal or immortal has been saved by us, helped or hurt by us, but if you are to help save the universe, you and your friends will need our help."

[i]Back in Asgard?[/i]

Rein had gotten up and moving and so had the rest of the group, and were having breakfast, cooked by Arunue since it was her apartment. Amazingly, it was good! Riv sat and ate his third helping of pancakes and sausage, Rein and Symoni shared a plate , Rein was just barely restraining himself from gourging on bacon, and Symoni was trying to keep her figure by eating only one slice of bacon and one of Arunue's delicious waffles, Arunue herself [i]was[/i] gourging herself on food, it seemed that she needed food to feed both her and Hiroshi. Veil and Rayne, however, had said that they weren't hungry and were sitting and looking out the kitchen's glass door.

[Box Hoy]

Toshi looked amazed at the Norns. "How are you going to help us," he asked? The Norns looked to each other with faces of grief.
"You believe that we are going to help you and your friends alone. That is wrong," the ugly maiden said. Toshi stood up confidently. He noticed that his pain was gone. "We are here to save the universe. As we have told you, we are fate. The bringers of destiny. Now, we will share one of the many secrets of the universe with you and only you. If this information about the universe were to be known by all a dark fate would befall all. Destiny was determined with the first few actions of existence. After that all life had been created to have a predetermined destiny. We Norns are here only to hold fate in existence. But two anomalies have come forth. Uni and Ios. Although they exist they were created from something who was around before fate was determined. And therefore they have no fate. Without fate there is no guidence and without guidence there can be no life. Uni and Ios are known as Viobs. Beings with no life. The only way to dispose of them is to bring them out of existence. It is still unknown as to how to do this but something exists that can do this. Something that can be harnassed and something the viobs have at creation. You're destiny is to find this information and then inform the one who is chosen," said the average looking Maiden.
Toshi nodded. "It will all come to you soon Toshi. If anything is to go on existing then the chosen one must be informed of the weakness of the viobs," said the very beautiful Norn.
Toshi closed his eyes. "Thank you," he said. "For a few weeks now we've beeen fighting for our survival and now the survival of all. If it is really the end than I am glad."
The Norns all looked to Toshi. He turned and all three Norns held out their hands. He disappeared with a blinding flash. The ugliest Norn looked the the most beautiful. "He will succeed in informing the one known as Arunue Kalamara. But from their all is clouded. It seems the dark fate was inevitable. We should prepare for the final days of the universe," she said. The beautiful Norn closed her eyes and searched the writings of the future.
"But now that the beings of the universe know of their destiny they will control their fate and our existence's purpose will change. But we must still conceal ourselves from the universe. Not even the great lod of the gods, Odin, may know of us. Things will be more complicated soon. But we have no choice but to exist forever. We are linked to our underlings. Without them we cannot exist and without us they cannot exist," she said.

[i]Meanwhile[/i]

Toshi returned to the Realm of Reality. They were all in Arunue's apartment when Toshi returned. Arunue stood up and gasped as Toshi walked in. She ran up and hugged him. "Are you okay. Did you get in a fight," she asked? Toshi shook his head. "I know of my destiny now," he said.

[No]

[I][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Symoni looked up at the door when she seen Arunue jump suddenly. Smiling when she saw Toshi, jumping up herself and gave him a tight hug after Arunue did, just happy to see him alive and well. That is all that she wanted now was her friends to live through this. Though her issue was is that she didn't understand Toshi's words very well tilting her head to the side a bit confused. Looking behind her and at the food on the plate that her and Rein were sharing. Starting to feel even more hungrier but resisted becuase she wanted to keep her figure for now. Then she thought of how good it was and closed her eyes in frustration, grabbing another piece of bacon and ate it.[/FONT][/COLOR][/I]

[Box Hoy]

Toshi smiled at his friends. "What did you mean by you know your destiny now," Arunue asked? Toshi shook his head. Rein looked up at Toshi and then motioned Symoni to follow him to the couch to hear Toshi speak.
He waited for the two to sit down. Garren was leaning backwards in a chair and he was ready to listen. Toshi took a deep breath and then started to speak. "When I left to find answers aboout why Uni and Ios were taking the humans I was captured by Uni before I knew it and I felt extrutiating pain. But for some reason I was saved by something beyond the gods. They were called the Norns or the fate. I was told that soon my destiny would become clear and that I must connect the dots, in a manner of speaking, things I have experienced in ther past. Then the answer to our problems will be over when I realize the weakness of Uni and Ios," Toshi said.
Arunue looked at Toshi. "Is there anything else," she asked. Toshi nodded.
"Once I figure out the weakness of the viobs I am to tell the chosen one. They siad that it would become clear who the chosen one is when I have figured out the weakness of the viobs," Toshi said.
Rein rubbed his chin. "That is impossible. No one can look upon the Norns withut dying," Rein said. Toshi looked at him. "But... if what you say is true than maybe our war with Uni and Ios has come to an end. I know from many old legends that Odin would tell us gods, the first beings determined the fate of the rest of history," Rein said.
Toshi nodded. "It's true. They told me," Toshi said. Rein nodded.
"Than what happens happens. We cannot change our destiny," Rein said.

OCC- Here's a crappy picture of Toshi for anyone who wants to see it. He's wearing ablack sweater instead of a black trenchcoat by the way.

[Skitto]

Rein sat on the couch and contemplated, then Kieko came into the room, walked over to the breakfast table, grabbed a handful of bacon, and left. Rayne shook his head, "Hmph," he grunted. "She's getting more and more withdrawn these days, I wonder what happened to her before she came into the care of the elder of Toshi's hometown."
Symoni was staring at the food, too hungry to listen.
