RPG To Find the Infection 3: Gods' Game [M-VSL]

[Makurayami]

Zain looked at the new commer. He felt dark almost...evil. But the odd thing was there felt like their were two beings in that one. Zain shrugged it off. "I didn't do anything," Zain replied to the demon man, "that was Majotte and this newcomer." Zain gestured to James.

Zain then turned to Majotte. "Fine, leave if you will. Just remeber that I will kill you one day." He then floated over to where James was.

"So, just what is you name and story? I can try to help you if I can, but I don't know how much assisance I can be."

[Red16]

Flames were breaking out of buildings, and countless amounts of pedestrians fled in terror. A handful egnited and were engulfed in the flames, and if they were lucky, were left alive, but totally helpless due to the powerful burns. Most died on contact with the fire. Two dark figures hovered over the town. One reached out his arm and fired several ki blasts towards a power plant. The explosion caused a massive reaction, and a huge fire broke out.

"I do believe this is were you take over friend." Ranma said with a big grin on his face. "You take the bunch running around, I'll kill the survivors." He added. He descended and began slicing people up, blood flowing as high as twenty feet from the impacting blows.

Urth stared at the beggars and the fleeing people with an evil glare in his eyes, then in an instant, the ground surrounding the villagers was immediatly destroyed, along with the incinerated populace. Urth's grin grew in size as they died one by one in the hands of Ranma.

The two murderers walked into the temple that again sprouted from out of nowhere, and inside looked exactly the same as the few other temples.

"Great Zennousha, please accept this planet as an offering to your arrival." Ranma said to the statue.

The statue began to glow, then started to speak Zennousha's words, "You have done well Ranma. I can feel my power almost at maximum. I just need a few more planets," Zennousha had just seen the newcomer. "Who is this my son?"

Ranma knew if Zennousha found that it was Urth, that he'd kill him, leaving Ranma with nothing afterward. "This is just another follower of your ways my lord. He has aided me in glorious battle."

"Very well, I thank you for your time then great fighter." Zennousha thought for a little while, then spoke again, "For helping the great god Zennousha to power, follower, I shall give you some more power!" Zennousha said. He waved his hands across Urth's body, and in an instant, he felt his power inscrease by much more.

"Enjoy it for now fighter." Zennousha said to Urth. "Ranma, I only need two more planets before I can finally arrive on the mortal plane.

"Which planets are they, I'll destroy them with ease." Ranma said with excitement in his voice, and dried blood on his face.

"The two planets are Enerjun....and Earth....." Zennousha said.

"Without a second to spare, Ranma and Urth both ran towards the teleportation spot, and were both automatically sucked into it, and to their first target: Enerjun.

[Outlaw]

James raised an eyebrow at Zain's sudden generousness. However, it could not be seen through his robotic helmut. It took him a second to gather his thoughts. "I'm, uhhhh, to be honest, I don't know what the hell I'm doing here. I got sucked into some light source, than found myself in the middle of the battle field. There was some huge explosion and then I was attacked. I can't beleive I just killed all those people. Oh god, the suit, it just augments my anger to make me a better fighter, but this? This is crazy. There were hundreds of them."

Zain grabbed the hysterical James by the sholder. "Look buddy, I know its hard, but if you didnt kill them, they'd have probobly killed you. Now a get ahold of yourself. Whats your name? Where are you from?"

James breathed heavily, regaining his composure. "My name is James, James Lockwood. I'm from a planet known as Terra, though that is in another galaxy altogether. I must have been sucked into some interdimensional wormhole. Some superhero I turned out to be."

"Superhero?" responded Zain. "Is that what you are?"

"Well, thats what I'm supposed to be, but I'm just a fake. I mean, I really want to help people, but now days theres no black and white good and evil confrontaions anymore. Its all about politics." complained James.

Zain had almost no clue what he was talking about, not having any backround knowledge of his planet. However, he did understand James' quest for heroism. "Well, if its heroism your looking for, I seem to have an evil deity and his cult after me. Doesn't get more black and white than an evil cult does it?"

James' voice perked at the chance, "Are you serious? Sign me up, lets go kick some cult ass!" He held out his hand, which Zain promptly shook. "So, were do we start?"

[ShagaMage]

James feels an almost burning sensation down his spine as Vec flies up from the ground, Majotte feels the same thing.

"So you did, you killed off all those soldiers before I was able to play. You are pretty inconsiderate. Well, I at least was able to smell the flesh as the acid wind disolved it from their bones. Nothing like that smell in the morning, that or some expensive shampoo." He says looking at James, then to Majotte.

"So what's this about an evil cult? I hate competition."

[Makurayami]

((Hey, Outlaw, I appreciate you posting, but please let up on the character control. I said this would have minimal other-player character control, and that includes talking. I know it's different from whats the norm here at OB, but it's just how we've done the last few TFTIs.))

Zain looked at Vec. He sneered a bit then regained his composure. This man's life-forced reeked of blood and darkness. The sense was almost overpowering when up close. There was something very, very wrong with this man. Something...unnatural.

"The cult is of Zennousha, though they are probably more of a religion then a cult. They claim to be preparing for their god and they say that Majotte," he nodded with his head in Majotte's direction, "and I have killed two of the god's sons. They also have means of interplanetary travel. Besides that, I don't know much more."

Zain looked to James. "Then let's go. I'm going back to Enerjun to check on someone and then look around a bit." Zain looked back at Vec. "If you want more answers, you're on your own. James, follow me." Zain took off into the air and flew towards the temple, James behind him. Zain dropped back a bit to be level with James.

"So," Zain said as he flew through the air, "tell me more about your suit."

[Outlaw]

"Well, this is the Patriot XT Battle-Armor. I actually came across it by....accident. I've had it for about a year now, and as far as I can tell the thing does everything. Its impregnible to everthing I've had thrown at it, and its got weapons to handle pretty much any situation. Sniper rifle, thermal cannons, concussion beams, missle launchers, everything. The only down side is that since it was designed for battle, it is programed to augment my adreneline levels, which usually means when I get puched to far, I lose control and just fight without regard for myself or others." James tought back to the battle he had just had and sighed. But he knew Zain was right, and that he did what he had to do. The two landed by the base of the temple.

"So, what about you? How do you do, you know, what you do. Like.....fly?"

[Makurayami]

"Simple really," Zain shrugged. He hadn't understood anything about James's weapons, but figured they were powerful non-the-less. Now it time to switch the tables. "It's really just ki manipulation. It's just second nature to me, really. I can also make ki beams." To demonstrate, Zain held up his hand and powered up a small yellow ki ball in his hand.

"This small one could make a small crater about eight feet. There are also ways to compact more energy into a beam or even add special effects to them, like make them delayed or control their path." Zain released his the ki ball's energy and it faded away.

"And then you can use ki to sense others. I use a form of this, but my version is more...nature-orientated. I can sense actuall life-forces. It draws from my woodling side, I suppose."

Zain quieted down a bit as they came to the temple. They landed outside of the front door. "There's a lot more to say, but right now we need to be on guard. Last time I had some priests attack me when I went in. No telling what will happen this time. I explain some more once we arrive at Enarjun."

[Red16]

((My post has been edited.))

[Outlaw]

James and Zain entered the temple slowly, keeping on there guard and looking for any possible traps. They didn't have to wait long. At the far end of the temple, a group of 4 priests sat attop a large mound of rocks. They had apparently witnessed the battle outside, and were awaiting the arrival of these two incredibly dangerous adversaries. The began to chant as they remained ontop of the pile. James and Zain looked on in wonder as they walked across the room, half concerned and half curious. The priest repeated there chants, getting louder and louder with each series of chant. Eventually, they got so loud they were yelling there chants. Zain noticed the air around them had begun to swirl, while James' sensors picked up some siesmic activity.

Suddenly, the chanting came to a stop, and the priests disappear, evaporating into a cloud of ash that fell onto the pile of rocks. "I'm picking up a strange energy signiture coming from that rock pile." Stated James. As if on cue, the pile erupted from the ground and took shape, forming a massive humanoid golem. "Well, thats something new. Let me handle this Zain, I still need to find the upper limits of my armor." Said James, half asking and half stating. Without looking for Zain's reaction, James fired his trusters and launched himself at the golem.

As he barreled towards the large golem, he stretched out his arms, pointing his palms at the monster. Large beams of thermal energy flew from his palms and struck the golem in the chest. The impact released a large explosion of energy. He thought to hims, "thats weird, those blasts have never done that before." James reversed him thrusters, coming to a near stop to see the result of the explosion. When the smoke cleared, James saw that the golem was unscathed, but now had a slight blue aura about him.

"Computer, analyse," commander James.

"Stone creature has a force aura covering his party. Currently generating 7.2 times 10 to the 19 Newtons of force. Source coming from centered chest.....locating... ..locked on." The view in his helmut highlighted a small point in the chest of the golem. However, as his sniper rifle rose up over his chest, the golem lept forward with amazing speed for his size. The lock was broken as the golem used his giganic stone hand the swat James across the room, sending him crashing into a large stone piller. The suits armor held up without being damaged, but James was frazzled by the impact.

"Zain, can you distract this monster? I need time to pierce it's force field."

[Sandman]

As Majotte journied through a couple miles of the battlefield, he haulted, with the sense of power nearby. "Hmm..Already in battle. I thought Zain was the nice guy, I didn't think he'd fight someone willing to he--No--Wait..This power is coming from ahead.."

Majotte flew forward a couple hundred yards, and just barely in his sight was a giant wall of rock, which had a cave that was almost in a completely straight line from where Majotte was standing, "Why the hell would that emit power?" said Majotte curiously before he began to fly towards the cave.

As he neared the cave's entrance, he noticed that it was getting green inside, almost like a glow, but not quite 'light', but like green figures. Once he was at the entrance of the cave, to his surprise, it was a giant forest which was seperated from the large deserted tundra by a wall of rock.."Well now, there's a lot of trees, but I don't see no reason for such a large power."

Majotte began to explore the seemingly endless area, until he noticed something in the distance. A building. It was covered with vines, it was covered in age, almost broken down, the bricks and wood that put it together were so weak, a child could have pushed them out of the wall. Majotte made his way in, finding a rock-solid shrine of what seemed like a warrior looking into a fountain. The fountain actually had water in it. Majotte looked into the water, and reached in. It was ice-cold, and tasted fresh. It sparkled like crystals as the water rippled from Majotte's hand.

Thinking nothing of it, Majotte turned around after a refreshing taste of water, and made his way to the exit, until he heard a rumbling in the ground. He turned around, and out of the fountain came a roaring wave of water, growing in size, a giant wave overpowered Majotte covered his body, and drowned out his vision. Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, he found himself in the middle of a burning village.


((OOC: Please, try not to intertwine your character's part of the story with this one for the time being.))

[Red16]

Urth felt his and Ranma's body get pulled into the teleport pod, his body weight seemed to have multiplied for a second or two, then seemed lighter as they flew through the pod. Everything surrounding them was blue, with streaks of dark violet. Urth opened his eyes, and looked around. He gasped, and suddenly there was a sharp pain in his head.

"Is something the matter friend?" Ranma asked.

"Nothing, just these people look familiar.." Urth said, looking around. People were walking around, looking at merchants and purchasing goods. Others were sparring, and even more were tending to their young.

"They look just like Rahk." Urth thought. Another large jolt of pain quickly erased this thought from his mind, and he was again filled with the urge to kill.

"I think I'll let you take care of everything on this planet. I'll go take care of your precious Earth. It will take me a view hours to prepare however, the power surrounding it is great." Ranma explained to Urth. He waved his hand towards Urth, and suddenly Urth was filled with incredible power.

"I'm awakening the power Zennousha gave you." Ranma said. As he head back through the still open portal, he turned back. "Have fun..."

Urth once again looked around. So many targets with so little time. He then finally noticed that everyone was staring at him. He looked at himself and found the reason.

His body had changed. His feet where cold and light blue, the color of ice, his fists were bulging with surrounding rocks, his hair was on fire, and electricity was constantly floating around his body. He took a step towards a random person. He left footprints of giant ice wherever he had previously stepped, causing the populace to begin to panic. The shrill cries of terror delighted Urth, and in the corner of his eye, he noticed a warrior attempt a sneak attack. Urth ducked, causing the poor warrior to fly right by him, and in an instant, Urth fired an icicle towards the warrior, impaling him in the face, and slamming him into a nearby buliding, pinning his faceless body against it, with blood flowing down where his eyes and mouth used to be.

It was the first casualty of Enerjun, and there were going to be plenty that would follow. At this thought, Urth smiled.

[Sandman]

Majotte walked around, and someone bursted out of one of the burning huts. Screaming with pain, covered in heat strong enough that the persons arm was melting on the spot. Majotte tried to stop the person and ask questions, but the person only ran through his body. "The hell?" Majotte said in confusion, and he turned around and shouted at the person. The person showed no response. Then, still facing the person running into the distance, more people, hundreds of people were running around him. He turned around, and only seen hudnreds of people fleeing a large warrior. This warrior's armor seemed so tribal, and completely beyond the tecnology of the people he was fighting.

"It's a warrior of Zennousha." said a man behind Majotte.

"What!?" said Majotte quickly turning around, and noticed a spirit-like figure that was partially see-through, and had no feet,"No..You're not."

"Yes. It is I, young one, you're having a vision." said the man, "I have little to say, and I'm sure you can say the same thing. Straight to the point...Your time, Majotte, it's coming. While, I doubt it can be prevented, I wouldn't want to see you die without making many people proud up there, or hell, down there too."

"What the hell are you tal--" Majotte was immediately cut off when the spirit flew straight into Majotte's body. From Majotte's chest, he felt someone of a cold rush flowing throughout his body. Then in the blink of an eye, the burning village was gone and he was standing in the temple.

"I need to find Zain."

Majotte, feeling the insanely large invigorating power flowing in him, thought to himself really hard of what just happened. Majotte then bursted out of the temple, on his way to find Zain.

[Makurayami]

"No problem," Zain said as he powered up to SSJ. This golem seemed insanly powerful for a golem of its size and density. It probably had something to do with the evil arura that Zain felt in it. Zain shot flew towards the golem and planted a kick to its head. It didn't do much, though, just moved it a few feet. Suddenly the blue arura flared to life. Zain had enough time to wince as a fist hit him square in the chest. He flew backwards, tumbling in the air. Regaining his control a few seconds later, Zain floated in the air.

"Fine, no more pissing around then," Zain said, obvisously irrated. He powered up to his ADSSJ, dark black streaks appearing in his golden Super Saiyan hair and black feathered wings bursting out of his back. Zain's golden saiyan arura suddenly had a black arura clash with it and mix. Zain flicked his wings back and flapped them gently, saving his ki energy for fighting rather then flying.

Zain quickly powered up a black ki ball about the size of his fist. He threw it at the golem and flew behind it. The ki ball hit the golem and suddenly expanded, engulfing the golem in an explosion. When the explosion cleared, Zain was behind the golem, holding him in a nelson lock.

"NOW! SHOOT NOW!" Zain shouted as he held the creature.

[Red16]

Urth proceeded with his original plans, constantly killing off millions. Warriors of the planet charged recklessly at him, and all parished in the blink of an eye, falling under Urth's powerful might. Urth slowly breathed in deeply, and breathed out a very shrill cold wave that froze anything it touched on impact. Many died instantly from the extreme bitter cold. Urth cackled a bit, then found a hut, the only place not damaged by Urth's wrath.

He approached the hut, and blew the door down, sending it to the back of the hut, and through the wall, making a large rectangular hole in the back. He looked at the character inside the hut, it was a woman, an old woman, at least in her 60's.

"Old wench, your no use to this planet anymore anyway." Urth said, and began to charge up a blast, it was the size of a baseball, then grew about 5 times the size.

"Why are you doing this?" Rashield ask Urth, to which sounded more like a plea.

"I need to make way for the arrival of Zennousha..." Urth said. He looked up in the air, and just noticed soemthing: There were 2 suns above the planet. Urth laughed a bit, then held up his hands. Both sun's radiated energy gathered into Urth's hands. He began to combine them with his previous charged up energy. He now held the power of the 2 suns of Enerjun in his hands. He cupped his hands behind his back, as rocks began to fly about and around himself and the helpless Rasheild.

Urth cracked yet another smile from his mouth.

"Solar Ray!"

[Outlaw]

With Zain holding the golem, James could finally get off a shot. However, he now needed to shift his position so the bullet wouldn't pierce through both the Golem and Zain. Firing its rear thrusters, the Patriot flew into the air. When it got above the two combatants, James fired the reverse thrusters aswell, allowing him the hover in mid-air. "Computer, target the powersource again." Commanded James. Within seconds, a small red target appeared on James' viewfinder. At the same time, the large sniper rifle attached to the shoulder of the Patriot came to life, shifting to target the golem. "FIRE!" James commanded. The rifle let loose a powerful blast, the recoil of which shot the Patriot armor another 5 feet into the air.

The rifle's custom bullet shot toward's the golem (litteraly). When it reached the force barrier around the golem, the tip the bullet was so sharp, and fired with such intensity, that it passed between the atoms of the golem's shield, and straight through the golem itself. With it's energy source pierced, the golem crumbled to the ground in a heap of rumble.

"Well, that was anti-climactic," said James, attempting to lighten the mood as he landed next to Zain.

[Makurayami]

"Just a bit..." Zain mused. He powered down to normal form, his wings fading away and his hair going back to normal. He walked to the pool and looked into it. "We are suppose to concentrate our souls...I suppose that means concentrate our ki energy." Zain paused for a moment in thought. "Here, hold on to me, I'll get us both through." Zain tensed up as the Patriot's metalic arms closed around his body. He stared at the pool and begun to concentrate, focusing all his thought on the pool.

Suddenly he was engulfed in a crimson aura. Zain felt his body lurch forward and into the pool. Then he found himself in the strange in-between world of Zennousha's pool. Zain felt all the different planets, each one pulling at him, threatning to rip him apart. Zain tried to recollect himself, focus his thoughts on his destination.

'Enarjun,' he thought. 'Enarjun, Enarjun... ENARJUN!!' He lurched forward again and then there was a flash. He was in the temple in the jungle outside of town.

He could feel the town and felt that there was mass chaos and murder happening there. Something very, very bad was happening there. Zain focused his mind, but something stuck out. It was Rasheild. She was in trouble. The threat felt like...[i]Urth?[/i]

"James, we got trouble, somethings up in town," Zain said. He levated a few feet and powered up to SSJ, waiting for James to respond so he could shoot off towards the town.

"We need to go...now."

[Red16]

The Solar Ray funneled down from the heavens and slammed down onto Rashield's house, the entire area was incinerated in an instant, and smoke began to spout from a smoking crater that was remaining.

"My job her is done....huh?" Urth thought to himself. He looked down into the smoke, someone was still there. It was Rashield, but she was different. She had transformed, she looked quite tough to take down.

"I've seen something like this, when I was a child..." Urth thought. It hit him: He had a vision from Erutan's past. He had of flashback. His mid-section was being slashed away by Rahk's glowing claws, Rahk apparently was attacking in a rampage. Urth regained his posture, and suddenly his crown began to glow even more.

"D...DAMN YOU RAHK!" Urth shouted. He raised his hands into the air, creating a tsunami, and within an instant, it spouted electricity, just like what he did against Rahk on the battle at Earth.

Rashield braced for the impact, when suddenly she made a quick jolt forward. She clutched her head in pain, and began to shout out. Her hair began to turn red, as did her body. It was like Ark's transformation. Rashield quickly charged towards the tsunami, and fired off a ki ball that pierced it, and blew it into millions of water droplets, causing it to rain.

"Thanks alot wench." Urth told Rashield. He quickly turned all the droplets into sharp icicles, then formed a group into a large one, that head right for Rasheild's throat. Urth dashed forward and fired a beam of lava towards her.

"Stabbed by ice or melted by heat, it doesnt matter to me." Urth said, hoping the attacks would take her out for good.

[Sandman]

Majotte made his way to the temple. "This is the direction they were last walking in, they should be in here." said Majotte as he felt a recent power source. He walked into the temple, and to his surprise, nothing but another shrine, almost completely identical to the one he seen in another temple.

"These places must be everywhere on this planet.." Majotte thought as he looked at his reflection in the pool. Then, he heard something behind him, almost like rocks grinding against each other. When he turned around, he seen a large golem, "Nice." Majotte spread out his wings, and grabbed one of his swords, he held it forward, upwards, right before the golem jumped towards him. The blade was so sharp, the golem fell in two halves just by jumping into it.

"Gah...what the he---Ahhhh!" Majotte screamed in agony, and fell to his knees, [i]Concentrate your energy, concentrate it all on Enerjun..[/i]. Majotte rested on his knees for about a minute, got back up, and did as he was advised.

From there, he was instantly transported to Enerjun, "Ah! I can feel his power. He's close!" Majotte said as he flew in Zain's direction.

[Makurayami]

Zain let out a frustrated sigh and shot off in the direction of the town through the forest. He couldn't wait anymore. James would just have to catch up. Zain changed to SSJ2 midair and and gained a burst of speed. He shot through the forest, trees bending and breaking five feet away from him.

Zain got out of the forest and came into the town. It was a wreck, many places on fire. But Zain could see one thing. A elemental creature was shooting lava and ice right at Rashield.

Zain held his head back and let loose a bellow of fury as black electricity began to cackle around him, mixing with his golden SSJ aura. His wings immediatly formed on his back and his hair was filled with black streaks, his angelic demon powers activated by his anger. The green stone around his neck glowed a brightly as did the green stone on his sword hilt. Zain pulled out the sword and shot forward at such a speed that the building below him had its roof blown off.

Zain intercepted the ice shard, his sword shattering it into a million miniscule pieces. He then spun and shot out a black ki blast at the lava spurt, knocking it to the side. Zain faced Rashield. "Are you ok?" he asked.

His response was a kick in the face. Zain flew back a few feet then noticed that Rahsield's hair was red and her eyes were a blood crimson color. Zain looked at the elemental creature, to angry to see who it was, and gave him a look of pure hatred.

It was obvious what had happened. This creature had caused Rashield's angelic demon powers to fully take hold. And with nothing to control them, she had slipped into the evil form that was common to the angelic demons when their powers were fully used.

"Rashield, it's me, Zain!" Zain shouted at her. She looked at him a sneered. Her wings unfurled and she flew up into the sky at Zain, a black ki ball in her hand. Zain waited then dodged the blast at the last minute, but took a fist in the stomach as Rashield quickly countered. Zain dodged the next punch, the last one not hurting much, and dodged a kick. He continued dodging for a few minutes.

"Rashield, it's me, Zain. Get control of yourself," Zain shouted in her face. Rashield looked him and her eyes flashed to their normal brown color.

"Make it stop..." she croaked before her eyes became crimson again. She brought her foot up to deliver a kick to Zain. But Zain caught the foot without even looking.

"I'm sorry," Zain muttered, looking down at the ground below him. "But, I'll make it stop!" he shouted as he brought his head up. He spun and threw Rashield towards the ground. As she fell, Zain powered up a dark ki blast as Rashield fell, tumbling towards the ground. He finsihed powering up as Rashield hit the ground and fired the beam. The beam hit the elder angelic demon and there was a shout.

When the beam cleared, Zain floated down to the ground. He landed next to Rashield and knelt next to her, her body seriously injuried. She looked up at Zain, her eyes and hair normal, and smiled.

"Thank-you. I think I'll go see Rahk now..." she said.

"How did you know that Rahk was dead...?" Zain replied. "I never told you."

"I know, dear," Rashield smiled. "I know you were trying to help me, but I knew. I could feel it. Just like...I can feel...it's my...time...now..." Rahield eyes slowly closed and her body became limp. Zain layed her down and turned to look at the elementalist.

He suddenly realized that the creature was Urth. His mind felt clouded, however. Like he wasn't fully there. Zain then noticed the coller around his neck. It was the same as the ones used to control people back on Char.

But Zain didn't care. All he felt was anger. He wanted to kill this man. "Urth, if that is you, I don't care what the fuck your story is, I'm going to kill you for making me do that," Zain said as black lightning flashed around his golden SSJ aura. The green stone around his neck and on his hilt started to glow even brighter, exerting more force to hold to hold back Zain's anger so he didn't slip into the evil form.

"YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD, YOU ASSHOLE!" Zain errupted as he flew forward at Urth.

((Whoa...long post...))

[Red16]

((no kiddn))

Urth sneered back towards Zain, and cackled a bit.

"I have no time for you and your little friend. Zennousha will be born into the mortal world soon." Urth said. He levitated a few feet into the air, and muttered a chant. Instantly, the ground and sky turned black and purple-ish. The entire planet was engulfed in darkness.

"I believe my duty on this planet is done." Urth said. "I hope you enjoyed your home on Earth, because Earth is going to be destroyed, every last piece sacraficed." Urth told the angry Zain. He smiled a bit, and suddenly his collar began to glow. THe collar opened a rip in the air, and immediatly sucked Urth in. He had barely escaped from the now infected Enerjun.


Urth opened his eyes to see that he was again in the temple of Zennousha. He walked towards the statue.

"Lord Zennousha, Enerjun has been engulfed in the darkness, Earth is all that remains.." Urth informed the statue.

The statue was struck by an unknown energy source, then became animated. Zennousha had posessed the statue.

"Good. You are one of my best fighters, almost as good as Ranma, which reminds me," The statue said, "Since you've done such a good job, I'm going to give you yet another power." The statue shot a dark beam of energy towards Urth. The energy engulfed Urth, and then became to change his appearance. His once "holy" clothing had turned black, comepletely darkened by the evil energy.

"I have given you the power to control darkness. Theres one more thing you must do for me. I need you to create an army to detroy the Earth and wipe out humanity. I must be reborn to take care of those pests." Zennousha spoke, obviously talking about Zain and Majotte.

Urth understood what he had to do now. He began to walk away when he heard a shattering sound. He looked and found the source. His collar around his neck was gone, as was the rod on his back. The pieces of the final orb had quickly entered Urth's body. He had understood what had happened; His heart had been completely taken over by the darkness. Urth smiled at the thought of an evil heart, and the irony that followed.

"I'm going to destroy the Earth, the one thing I had sworn to protect, and Zennousha will rule all." He thought.

Urth chuckled a bit, then broke out into an evil laugh. Darkness engulfed Urth's body, then he dissapeared.

[Sandman]

Majotte was nearing Zain, he was within a couple miles until he seen everything around him turn a dark purple color, like it was tainted with evil. He haulted and viewed his surroundings. [i]Continue, It'll be safe. You must find Zain.[/i] Majotte charged in the direction he felt Zain's energy coming from. After about a minute, he seen him, "He's with the robot" Majotte said to himself.

Majotte made his way within hearable distance, and shouted Zain's name repeatedly until he responded.

[Outlaw]

"Systems back online," piped the com-systems inside James' armor. Somehow, the transportation they had just gone through had completely frozen the armor's systems. He was completely shut off from the ourside world, unable to see, hear, or speak. He couldn't even move without the assistance of the Patriot's power system.

"Its about time." James stated agrily as the view finder came back online. "Shit, were the hell did Zain go!?" After a quick scan of the area, the computer respoded by marking the location of an emensly high power source. James rocketed into the air towards the source. It wasn't long until he came upon the village, burned and demolished. He was just in time to watch a strange darkness radiate out of a mysterious man, only for him to disappear. As far has James could tell, Zain had been battling to man and scared him off. He hovered above the center of town, unsure of the darkness that now engulfed the ground below him.

"What in the hell happened here?!" he called out, half to himself, and half toward Zain.

"I dunno," Zain replied to James. He hovered up into the air next to him while powering down, his wings dissapearing and his hair returning to its normal red and black. "But I think we need to get out of here. And quick. This doesn't feel right." Zain wasn't even telling half of it. The planet was screaming at Zain, and it felt like his head was going to split in half. But he pushed the pain aside and kept going.

Suddenly Zain heard his name being called. He spun around and saw Majotte. "What do you want?" Zain shouted back to Majotte, his hand on the hilt of his sword.

((Shaga, we're on our way to Earth, so you can get there somehow and then meet up with Urth.))

Urth stood up from kneeling into the ground, and looked around. He was on a familiar orbital "asteriod". He was on the thing closest to the Earth itself. He was on the Moon. He shifted his eyes from left to right, there wasn't a soul to be found, not even his own. He chuckled to himself. Slowly, he raised his arm, which began to glow a dark purple color. Slowly in the shadows of the moon's craters, monster's began to appear. They rose up and landed on their feet, and bowed down to Urth.

"Darkness so powerful that it became a solid form. A body completely eclipsed in it. I think I'll call them my Shadow Warriors." Erutan said to himself, although it seemed as though the Shadow Warriors had overheard him. "I have a simple mission for you all, and I expect it to be completed by Sundown." Urth said to his new army.

The army made a battle cry, then slowly, they literally floated off of the moon, and began to fly towards the Earth.

'Zain will be able to sense them all too easily, but he shouldn't be able to see me from here, let alone breathe' Urth thought. He stood staring at the Earth for a moment, then got an idea.

"Troops," Urth told the Shadow Warriors telepathicallly, "First, I want you to destroy the Woodling's home, after that...have fun."

Urth then saw the big glob of darkness shift to a automatic direction, shifting towards a large land mass.

Urth got a sudden jolt, he wasn't alone on the Moon. Slowly, Urth turned around.

"I knew you'd show up." Urth said.

"..and I knew you'd hide here.." Ranma said.
