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

[Red16]

Seidaku and Zennousha stared at each other for a few moments, knowing that the power they were unleashing upon each other was tremendous. Seidaku then went into a battle pose, and began to unleash another ability. large gusts of wind began to swirl around Seidaku's body. Zennousha stared back, confused at what was going on. He then decided not to take any chances. He fired a small particle beam that soard towards Seidaku. Seidaku concentrated, and opened his mouth. A large amount of light was shot out, and fizzled the particle beam into nothing. Seidaku smiled at Zennousha.

"Take this!" he roared, sending the power he had gathered towards Zennousha. When he sent it, the wind begun to spin at an alarmingly fast rate. It had become a large tornado. It plowed right into Zennousha. Zennousha crossed his arms to protect himself.

"This doesn't even hurt.." Zennousha replied, chuckling.

"I'm not done..." Seidaku said. He gathered a small amount of red colored energy into his hands, and the electricity around it began to spark around it. Seidaku snapped his fingers, and in an instant, the energy was sent flying at the tornado. It collided with the twister, creating a flaming tornado. Zennousha gasped, and quickly created a mini barrier. The tornado then ceased, and Zennousha was there, without even a scratch.

"You still can't hurt me.." Zennousha said.

"...and you can't hurt me." Seidaku smirked. He knew time was running out before the attacks were sent. He decided to try to finish it here and now. A golden ray of light shot down from above, about 3 inches away from Seidaku's body. Then, an item appeared, and old relic that was a gift from Jukunen about 9 years ago. Seidaku held the golden arm brace in his hands, and latched it onto his arm. Seidaku then began to gather energy into the hand the brace was on.

"I saw this coming all too well." Zennousha said. He shot a small amount of ki towards Seidaku. Before it could impact, it spread into eight larger masses of ki. It struck Seidaku in seperate areas of his body, sending him flying. Seidaku opened his eyes to see a glimpse of the brace fly off of his arm, and onto the ground nearby.

"SHIT!" Seidaku yelled. He looked up at Zennousha, who began to laugh hysterically.

"4 Minutes..." he told Seidaku.

[Makurayami]

"Enough of you babbling," Gekido growled, infuriated by the blades that were through his feet. His anger fueled his power even more and new force flowed through him. He ripped his feet out of the ground, the blood flowing freely as he did, and kicked his feet into the air. The blades flew into the air and Gekido flung Majotte off of him. He was a bit heavier know, Gekido noted, probably because he had completed his metal transformation. Still, it was nothing compared to Gekido's raw power.

He flew into the air and launched a dark ki beam at Majotte. Gekido knew that a simple beam was nothing to Majotte, but he needed time. This would provide it. He concentrated on his sword and suddenly it was empowered with his dark ki energy. It glowed a faint crimson, as if begging for blood, and the crimson lightning cackled around it.

Gekido now transported behind Majotte, who had easily dodged the beam as Gekido thought he would, and swung the newly empowered sword at Majotte. It hit him, the electricity surging through his metalic body and he flew forward - right into the path of his falling blades which were about four feet away and falling fast. The finish it, Gekido launched another dark ki beam, this one stronger then the last. It even even had the signiture crimson electricty in it. Gekido smiled.

"Electricty doesn't mix to well with metal, Majotte," he sneered in his primal-like growl.

((Sorry bout any character control Sandman, but I needed to get this fight rolling...only three more minutes/posts :( ))

[Sandman]

"Now!" Majotte said as he launched himself into the air, barely getting 'nicked' by the crimson electricity which sparked through his metal. His body went just between his two blades, which he caught while going upwards. Majotte landed in dust caused from the energy beam by Gekido. He held his blades in a very distinguished manner, giving off a look of confidence, showing that he's ready to continue. After a few seconds, he smiled, turned around, and flew off towards Zennousha's direction, shouting, "I think your shoes are tied."

--Flashback--

..."Say what you wi--" Majotte was cut off from the rampaging Gekido who body-checked the blades so hard, that the impact shattered Majotte's stance sending him flying through the air. While in the air, without regaining his posture, he let his armor cover his body completely, putting him into 100% power. Flying face up, horizontally, backwards through the air, he threw his blades into the air, landed on his hands [b]--which, as quick as he could, in the split second he had, injected the proper metallic liquid needed to form an Android version of Majotte into the ground. "Hopefully, I'll be able to stall him long enough for that copy to grow, I only need a minute or two." Majotte thought.--[/b] and backflipped onto his feet. Not wasting anytime, the instant he landed on his feet, he quickly rebounded himself back into the direction of Geikido, catching the blades as they fell towards the ground.

[i]You think I didn't notice that?[/i]...

--Flashback--

There, gripping Gekido's feet with incredible strength, were two metallic hands, belonging to an Android Majotte, who was willing to be blown up, as long as he could hold down Gekido.

[i]We don't have any time for chances[/i]

"What do you mean!?" Majotte shouted as he zeroed (sp?) in on Zennousha, already feeling the massive power he's been collecting.

[i]This is a god, other than his own son, when it comes to someone else, I can put up a good fight. You can't.[/i]

"Damnit! I don't see what you're trying to say!" Majotte shouted, slowing down, seeing as how he knew he'd need time to talk to [i]him[/i].

[i]We don't have time for you to take a chance and see if you can take on Zennousha, let alone stop him from charging up![/i]

"No! I'm telling you I can--" Majotte was cut off by a sharp pain in his neck, which started from his feet, and went all the way to the the tip of his head. Almost like something was happening. His armor lowered, and so did he, as he neared the ground. The last things he heard were inside his head, the sound of his father,

[i]I'm taking control...[/i]

A few seconds passed from a glow of light that had almost everyone's attention. An almost completely re-animated Majotte, with some minor changes.

"I stand, not Majotte. But notice the similarities." The warrior said, as he stood up, still holding Majotte's blades, "I am his father, Sahruk. A warrior from the Heavens, a fighter of God." Sahruk then looked down at the poorly made Katana's and new they would simply not do. He tightened his grip on them, and they began to burn, slowly, but surely, into ashes. The ashes fell to the ground. Slowly, they reshaped. Into huge, long broad katanas. They were covered in gold holy sculptures of dragons and knights. The handle of the blades were sculpted to look like a Knight in golden armor, as he held the actual part of the sword. The sword was wrapped around with a golden sculpture of a serprent, which at the tip, the blade came out of the mouth of the creature. Two swords of this standard were rarely seen, as they are gifts from God himself.

"This battle does not end yet..Or here." Sahruk said as he charged toward Zennousha, surprised by his power, but not impressed, nor, unimpressed.

"Hault, demon!" Sahruk said as he held both of his swords up in a cross. Reflecting light from clouds, and onto Zennousha's face. Burning it, so much you can see steam rising off of his skin. The areas around the spot evening boiling. Bubbles of puss came off Zennousha's face, "Hault!"

((OOC: I'll try to provide a pic of the swords, and Mak, next time I see you on AIM, I'll do a description of Sahruk if you need it for the site.))

[Red16]

Seidaku could not help but notice Majotte transform into this new being. He looked in astonishment as the light smashed into Zennousha. The light gathered so quickly that it exploded, sending Zennousha soaring towards the ground. A loud crash came from the ground that Zennousha hit hard. A large cloud of dust began to cover the area. Seidaku felt his spirit warp back inside of his body. Slowly, he levitated off of the ground, and flew slightly higher into the air. He saw the cloud erupt high into the deep space. Using the power of wind, Seidaku blew away the dust. He then saw, to everyones dismay, the figure that was his father standing, only with minor scratches that were made from the burns. Seidaku looked at his father. He then noticed something else. Zennousha was laughing.

"I am a god, foolish mortal! That means that you cannot defeat me..." he chuckled. He looked deep into the sky, Seidaku following the direction he looked. Seidaku's eyes grew large. In deep space, approaching at an incredibly fast rate, was an immense ball of energy, possibly larger than a giant sun sized star. Although the entire energy was viewable, it was still a small distance away.

"That thing will incinerate this planetoid before it even hits!" Seidaku shouted. With a roar, his body begna to glow gold once again. His six wings spread out, and a large amount of light poured out of his body.

"This is it Zennousha!" Seidaku yelled. With a brief yell, Seidaku threw the energy he had been gathering towards the blazing star. The energy was so immensly strong, the shockwave from the throw sent blood rushing out of Seidaku's mouth and nose. An energy ball the EXACT same strength and EXACT same size came hurdling from out of nowhere, and charged towards the other star. Seidaku knew that this was it. Hopefully the blast would take place far enough for the planetoid to not be destroyed. He began to throw more power into his energy source, when he looked at Zennousha. He was doing the exact same.

The energy grew closer and closer, and right before impact, there was a bright light. Then, there was complete silence. The light dimmed out. Seidaku looked up, as well as Zennousha, at what was going on. They were visible, both attacks. They both incinerated each other, than exploded. Things were still extremely quite. Seidaku opened his mouth to talk, but when he spoke, nothing came out. All the sound had been vacuumed into the attack. Suddenly, everything came back one thousand fold. Another shockwave was sent hurdling towards the planetoid, and like a small childs playtoy, the planet was shattered into pieces. Another bright light came, and Seidaku passed out.

Seidaku opened his eyes, and looked around. Though the planet shattered, the pieces where still floating around in midorbit. He couldn't find a sight of anyone, but could feel their spirits still alive. He looked straight ahead, and another figure stood up. Zennousha stood on both legs, badly injured, like Seidaku, and obviously anyone else caught in the blast. Seidaku looked back at the energy blast, and was shocked. The energy was slowly expanding.

"Soon, the explosion will engulf everything in the universe. I may be destroyed, but my mission will be complete. The universe will be totally annialated! (SP?)" Zennousha chuckled.

Seidaku stood, staring at the expanding explosion. Everyone would die if that wave even touched them a small bit, no doubt.

"Father.." Seidaku told Zennousha. "That wave wont get here for awhile," Seidaku began to cover his body again with his wings, "and we are both still alive," Seidaku drew into a battle pose.

"This fight is still on!"

[Outlaw]

James didn't wait for Zennousha and Seidaku to continue their battle. Now that the shadow warriors were gone, having been decimated by the blast, and the rest of his team had the sense knocked back into them, all eyes were again fixed on their true enemy. James was the first into the fray, as he rocketed towards Zennousha's unsuspecting back. He flew as fast as the Patriot could muster, hoping to catch the evil God from behind.

But the eternal warrior knew better than to be caught off guard, as he brought James to a screaching halt with the wave of his palm. "Hahahaha, simple mortal. You truely think your pitiful technology is a match for me. I have decimated entire armies of your kind with but a thought. AND YOU SHALL BE NO DIFFERENT!" Zennousha's eyes burned with a combination a rage and delight as he focused his energies on James.

At first, James didn't feel anything. But soon, he began to hear his armor creack and moan. After seconds of confusion for James, the entire Patriot suit was ripped from James' frail body by an invisible force. "Wha? This....shouldn't be possible. I....what the hell?"

"And now mortal.......you die. HAHAHAHAHA!" Zennousha erupted in malicous laughter as he waved his hand again. A look of utter horror came across James' face as he felt his entire body began disappear. Within seconds, James' entire body was snuffed out of existance.

[Red16]

Seidaku looked in horror as James slowly evaporated into the air. This was the first Seidaku's rage grew.

"If Zennousha continues to roam free, then more death will simply follow." he whispered under his breath. Seidaku grew angry. He could not let Zennousha win, at any cost. He charged Zennousha at an alarming rate, and swung his fist towards his father, thus beginning the battle.

[Makurayami]

Gekido looked around as the planet floated around him. His feet were still being held by that ridiculus andriod, but it was dead or deactivated. It had become so when the planet exploded. Gekido about the new figure that had entered the fight. He called himsel Sahruk, "a warrior from the Heavens". 'Funny how a man such as Majotte could have a father so religious,' Gekido mused to himself.

He was aware of the situation. He was out in space without any source of oxygen. Shar, Zennousha, Kairiki, James, and Seidaku, maybe even this Sahruk guy could breath (if he had access to Majotte's android abilities). But Gekido and the saiyan boy were in trouble.

Gekido looked for James and found him. He was still an ally as far as he was concerned. Maybe he could help. But Gekido looked just in time to see James destroyed by Zennousha. At this Gekido felt something inside of him stir. It was as if his whole being, Zain's side included, was angered by this act.

"One more thing before I...die," Gekido growled. He gathered his energy, not bothering to hold anything back. A small black ki ball formed in his hands. Gekido poured all of his anger, rage, bloodlust, and power into the ball. This was his final attack. The ki ball remained about the size of his fist.

Despite the size, Gekido nodded and looked at Zennousha. He was engaged with Seidaku. Gekido had no idea where Shar, Kairiki, Suzu, or Sahruk were, and quite frankly he didn't care. This was it.

"DIE, OH GOD!" he bellowed as he hurled the ki ball at Zennousha. It flew towards him at a great speed. As soon as it made contact, the ki ball suddenly expanded. In a second, it was the size of Seidaku's and Zennousha's energy blasts. Black energy ripped through space with crimson lightning cackling everywhere.

When the blast cleared, the planetoid peices were still floating in space, but smaller this time because they had been broken up yet again. The others were still there, in their various locations around the ruined planetoid. But Gekido was no where to be seen.

((This isn't the end. Keep fighting, but take into account the damage factor due to this post. Rouroni, I expect a decent explanation and/or solution as to Suzu not being able to breath. No more sloppiness like lately.))

[ShagaMage]

Shar just smiled as the blade ascended to his head. The attack came, and Shar was still smiling. He let the energy blade crush through his head, splitting it in two halves. The horrendous smile was still so toothy and truly evil, but this time it was in half. Shar still standing grabbed Suzu's arm, and let his Soul Ripper tear off it from the elbow. Suzu's face stretched in a grotesque scream as Shar amputated his forearm. With Shar's demonic arm, he let his barbs wrap around Suzu's body, but Suzu teleported out of his vicious grasp. His eyes widened as the planetoid exploded from the wave.

He shouted before noticing the air leaving his lungs. The vacuum effect muting his voice, Shar just laughed as Suzu began to squirm with his dismembered arm floating weightlessly to his side. He grabbed the limb and laughingly waved goodbye. Seeing as there wasn't any sound in the vacuum of space, he decided that taunting Suzu was a pointless venture.

[I]Now where is that dog Kairiki?[/I] he thought to himself, as he remembered the Wailing Banshee that he had set loose upon him. He scanned the area and sure enough was Kairiki struggling himself free. [I]I'll give him credit, he doesn't allow himself to lose, does he?[/I]

As Kairiki forced his torso free he saw Shar, and unlike before the attack when he left him he was spotless and unscathed. His head though was split down the middle to about the base of his neck. [I]The Half Saiyan must have been too powerful for him.[/I] He thought to himself as he freed his mangled legs from the furious writhing spirit. He looked up once again to his "fallen" adversary, but to his dismay now Shar was looking at him. His dark eyes staring into his chest hungrily. His bisected skull slithered cruelly together and restored itself to normal.

Shar the took the initiative. It was time to finish this charade. He let a sphere of energy grew around him as he distorted matter itself around him, and finally the sphere broke, letting a wave of matter fall across the planetiod peices crushing them into small fragments. The force propelled him forward with an immense ammount of force, and Kairiki could only watch with wide eyes as his Shar thrust his demonic hand into Kairiki throat. The razor barbs freed themselves from Shar's fingers and slithered into the wound, and even deeper into his body. Kairiki's body convulsed as he could feel his innards being absorbed into Shar's body.

[Outlaw]

The last thing James remembered was Zennousha, laughing like a mad man, and a pale white light. Then....nothing. Much to his suprise, James awoke to find himself laying on a bed of clouds, surrounded by a deep blue sky. As he sat up, he found himself on what seemed to be an infinite plain of light fluffy clouds. The only thing which broke them up was a massive golden temple in the distance. Looking down, James found that the Patriot armor and his nevre suit had been replaced by some odd silver metallic substance which covered his entire body. But upon touching it, he found that he could feel through it, as if it were his skin. Paniced, James began to rub himself all over, only to find his entire body was covered in the substance, even his face. "What the hell happened to me? And where the hell am I...am I dead?" James wondered aloud to himself. But there was no one around to answer. James' spirit began to fall as he realized he was all alone in a strange place and in a body he no long beleived to be his own. Filled with Desperation, he decided to make his way to the temple in the distance.

He walked for what seemed like days, stripped of his ability to fly without the Patriot. Oddly though he never tired and never hungered. Upon reaching the temple, he found that the main gate was wide open, and a warm glow seemed to be inviting him inside. No sooner did he cross the threshold into the temple than a booming voice echoed through the halls. "Welcome James Lockwood of Terran."

"Wha.. who said that?" James replied, suprised by the sudden greatting while confused that he could not find it's source. He panned around the what seemed to be the main room of the temple, adorned beutifully with gold and marble. The most promonant feature of the room were a set of five statues at the far end of the great hall, seemingly composed of the same metal which now covered James' body. While he did not recognize most of the statues, the center most one was all to familiar. It was a statue of Zennousha, thou unlike the other statues, which were prestine and well kept, this one had a large crack down the center.

"We are the council." Replied another voice, different from the first, but booming just the same. "A group of five gods designated to watch over the mortal realm. And you are here because we have failed in our duties."

"Wait, but, this is Zennousha right here. He's the bad guy! Is he supposed to be like you guys? A protector?"

"Yes!" boomed a third voice, " Zennousha was once our brother, but milennia ago he left the fold on his quest to conquer the universe."

This was a lot of information for James to grasp at one time, and he still didn't know what he was doing here. "What...Why?"

"Zennousha spirit was corupted by the hate and anger of those we protect," boomed the forth voice, "and now he lashes back out at the universe."

"Wait, hold on a sec, if this has been going on for milennia, then why the hell haven't you guys stopped him yet?" James asked, unsure of the sincerity of these 'gods.'

"Zennousha has always been the strongest amoung us by far. We have spent eons waging a war against his evil, both supporting those who battle against him from beyond, and gathering our energies to finally end his reign of terror. How do you think you and your companions came to meet each other?"

"So, your saying this whole thing has been a part of some master plan? And that you brought us together and sent us against Zennousha on purpose?" James questioned. "But, according to Seidaku, this whole thing has happened before, with the universe being destroyed and rebuilt time and time again."

"Yes, this is true, but it has taken us many millenia to gather the energy needed to stop Zennousha. And that is why you are here James Lockwood. We have endowed you with all our powers. We have remade you with a body of Ambronium, the metal of the gods, but with your same soul."

James was shocked with this new information and responcibility. When he was within the Patriot, he knew he held little chance against Zennousha's power, but was content with aiding those he felt could actually stand against a God. Now he found out that he was being chosen to make the differance in a battle for all of existance. "But...why me?" Was all he could respond with.

"Because James, you have the heart of a hero. The rest of your companions are being driven by anger and vengance, while your quest was one of discovery to find your place in the universe, and to find what it truely means to be a hero. Now is your chance. Now, we will show you all we know of Zennousha, and the power within you. Then, you will be on your own."

Again, James was overcome with a pale white light and the world around him faded into nothing.

[Sandman]

Sahruk made his way back to the scene within seconds, making it quick enough to hear the Patriot's metal hit the ground. He turned in the direction of the noise, and seen James connect to the ground. Trying not to unveil any emotion, he turned his face, still calm, towards Zennousha. Not looking back at Sahruk, he had his attention.

"Demon. I do not underestimate you, for you have killed an allie who did not deserve the pain you gave him." Sahruk said in a moderately leveled voice, "Do not underestimate me. While I may not be as strong as you. I am dead. You can't kill what is dead. I am immortal... I will fight you as long as it is needed, but I will not quit. This body of my son is a posession. I shall fight as who I am, not as Majotte. I won't risk the life of his body."

At that time, without even flinching or twitching, the robotic arm that belonged to Majotte, slid right off the butter. The flesh melted away, thus revealing a whole where his arm used to be. Through that whole, every little bit of metal and artifical [i]life[/i] sipped out.

[i]What are you doing!? 'You' may be able to put a load of power into this fight, but once you leave my body, I'll be nothing but a weak little shit![/i] Majotte groaned inside Sahruk's head.

"You're pretty selfish aren't you?" Sahruk said as he stood their missing an arm.

[i]What's that coming from? James death? I know he's fine. I can read your thoughts just as well as you used to be able to read my thoughts. If you know that somewhere out there, he's fine, then I'm going to believe you.[/i]

"Heh, touché." Sahruk said as he continued the transformation.

Sahruk closed his eyes, and his hair was pulled in, making it a bit shorter, just barely making it a little lower than his ears. An arm grew out of the whole, completing the body. Long shoulder pads were equipped to Sahruk that had gold and white tribal designs all over them, he equipped long tipped boots that matched his other equipment, which consisted of gauntlets, a belt, and a helm that only covered the forehead, back of the head, and the jaw. Leaving the face exposed. All of the body's key parts were covered except for the chest, legs, and arms. The should pads connected to each other through a necklace that went around Sahruk's neck, which held a pearl like orb. A large orb that was about the size of a fist. The Orb of Heaven, which didn't resemble much, it's a unique item that's given to those that represent warriors of Heaven, a symbol of peace.

"I am now, ready, for battle." Sahruk said as he faced Zennousha, horribly damaged, but powerful nontheless. Then again, as was Sahruk. He tightened his grip on his blades, and just as soon as he was about to charge at Zennousha, he remembered Gekido.

[Red16]

Seidaku paused completely in mid-air. He felt large power sources increasing everywhere. They were starting to match his power. He was amazed at all of this happening. He witnessed Majotte's new arm grow out of his body, making Seidaku even more perplexed.

"Transform all you want..." Zennousha said. "None of you can beat me!"

Seidaku felt a large rush into his head. His wings began to cripple under the unknown power source. Slowly, he stood back up. The power was still pounding in his brain. He fell face first flat on the ground. His head felt like it was ripping apart, just like Shar was. He felt an incredibly bright light, and suddenly, he felt as though he had dissapeared. He stood up. He looked around. He was back home, he was inside his ancient temple, the one back on earth.

Seidaku looked around, he had seen this happen before, back on his fights at earth when he was Erutan. Erutan had been knocked unconcious, then had recieved the Earth Orb. Seidaku walked up to the peak of the temple. He wasw still feeling dizzy. He then walked up to the center of the temple, where he used to meditate as Urth. Suddenly, he felt a rush of voices come into his head.

"Seidaku....you can do this...."

"You are not stong enough.....yet.."

"We are here to help you..."

Seidaku was confused. "You are you...? Seidaku asked.

"I am the Orb of Earth..."

"I am the Orb of Char..."

"I," said the final voice, "am the orb of darkness..."

Seidaku looked at his body, it was the same as it was when he was fighting Zennousha. But three lights were blinking inside of it. Suddenly, all 3 orbs power shot out of his body, and shot onto the alter that he found the shard of the 3rd orb. Seidaku, now incredibly weakened, looked at the light that now engulfed all of the orbs. The lights suddenly fizzled out, and a gold aura surrounded one tiny orb, about the size of Seidaku's hand.

"And what orb are you.." Seidaku weakly said.

"I'm an orb beyond all others....I am the Orb of Light."

"I see that." Seidaku said, covering his face from the bright light.

"Now...we must be one!"

Suddenly, Seidaku felt a large rush of energy come from the orb. Seidaku had this feeling many times before. His body was automatically absorbing the orb. His power came back, even stronger than before. His wings spread out once again. He looked at his left arm. The golden arm brace suddenly appeared, and an imprint of a Zennousha statue appeared on it.

"Zennousha's seal..." Seidaku said. He saw a light from above his head. A halo appeared on Seidaku's head. It engulfed his body, and he was gone.

Seidaku reappeared. He was back on the planetoid. He came just in time to see another light. Another figure, engulfed in light, appeared.

Seidaku knew what had happened to himself now, it all came together. He stared at Zennousha with a glare.

"Zennousha......You have been replaced....I am the 5th God of the Universe!"

With all of these new powers, and with the power coming closer and closer, Zennousha's time seemed to be cut short.

"You've lost Zennousha..."

[Outlaw]

Seidako's statement was cut short as a flash of blinding light appeared directly above Zennousha. From the light emerged a figure of metal, his skin reflecting the light onto all those who fought Zennousha. It soothed their wounds and their spirits like only a long lost loved one could. There was something oddly familiar about this entity's energy signiture, though no one could make it out for sure. No one, save for the one man who knew the truth of life and death.

"You!" Zennousha cried out in fear, as he felt the power of his former brethren flow from the man. "But......I....." Zennousha couldn't finish his statement, and he didn't need to. He knew the truth, knew that his betrayal had finally caught up with him.

"Yes Zennousha, you. You betrayed your fellow gods, gave yourself into darkness, and wraught chaos across the cosmos. But your long lost comrades are finally ready to take their vengance. They have named a new god to the universe, your son. And now, you shall be dethrowned." With a wave of his hand, much like the one Zennousha had used to disinigrate his old body, the new James enveloped Zennousha in a flash of blinding light. All those witness to it were forced to sheild their eyes from the flash, lest they be blinded forever. But as the light faded, it seemed as if the attack had failed, as there stold Zennousha, no less injured than he had been before the assault.

"Wha..huh..." Zennousha comment, as he searched his body for any injury of any type. But he found nothing. In fact, Zennousha hadn't fealt a thing, "Oh, you pompous little bastard. Even with your "new powers," you are still to weak to harm me. HAHAHAHA..."

But James remained unphased by Zennousha's taunts. "No, my intention was not to harm you. That is for the others to accomplish. Mine is simply to strip you of your immortality. Do not deny it, you feel it. You are no longer a god, but a mortal. And now my brothers in arms will see to it that you pay." With that, James turned and made his way back into the light, a portal to the beyond realm.

"No...this..cannot be. You can't take my immortality! You have no right! I was a god! AND IF I MUST FALL, THEN SO SHALL YOU ALL!" With that Zennousha lept from the bit of planetoid that he had supported himself with during the drawn out conflict. With a blistering speed that showed he still retained a great deal of power and skill, Zennousha tackled the unsupecting James through the bright portal and into the beyond realm, leaving the others behind on the planetoid as it drifted through space. However, the portal remained open for all those who wish to the follow the two through. Even from the planetoid side of the portal, it could be seen that Zennousha had James pinned to the ground and was working on riping his new metallic body apart.

[Red16]

Seidaku wasted no time.

"Sahruk! We must help James! Shar and Gekido will have to wait!" Seidaku yelled. With that, Seidaku dahsed towards the portal, in an attempt to save James from Zennousha's wrath. He turned back around before entering, and saw that the galaxy was almost all gone. Stars were depleted, the explosion was destroying EVERYTHING. Almost all life in the cosmos was gone.

"I promise...." Seidaku said. "To fix everything." He then remembered Gekido.

"Even you Zain.."

Seidaku then vanished into the warp hole.

[Sandman]

[i]Holy Shit[/i]

"Well I guess we have no time to waste!" Sahruk said as he charged through the portal to see Zennousha unlocking his fury on James.

[i]Hurry up![/i]

Sahruk bursted towards Zennousha and unleashed his first real attack on Zennousha knocking him away from James. "Not so brave now are you!" Sahruk said in a rage that's rarely seen in heavenly beings.

"Who needs bravery? Who needs immortality!? All I need is power, and with that, I can be rid of the only thing that stands in my way!"

[i]What's he talking about!?[/i]

"Do you honestly believe that you can still take us on, after all of this!? Especially after you've lost your immortality? Now would be the time for you to start realizing that your death is an indeed possibility, you mere mortal." Sahruk said trying to get under the demon's skin.

"Foolish man! I am the strongest of those other gods! They know it...Try to stop me." Zennousha said as he trampled through the clouds to get to the temple that was within sight.

[i]Shit![/i]

[Red16]

Seidaku saw Zennousha blast off towards the shining temple in the clouds.

"Son-of-a-bitch! Sahruk, James, come on!!!" Seidaku yelled to them. He blasted off towards the temple, looking behind him, he saw Sahruk quickly following right behind, James still on the floor. Seidaku landed once again on the clouds, right next to the temple doors, only to see them broken. He charged through, breaking the entire door down.

When he and Sahruk entered the building, they saw Zennousha. His power had increased phenominally. Seidaku then saw why. The 4 statues of the other gods were cracked open, just like Zennousha's statue.

"You bastard! You absorbed the other God's power!" Seidaku yelled.

"That right." Zennousha said. "I may be mortal, but I have enough power to destroy all of you..."

"But, your still mortal, so you can still die!" Seidaku yelled. He began to charge his father once again. How can they defeat someone who is always finding a way to grow stronger?! Seidaku thought. This was it however, there were no more beings out there to truly absorb, so this is where the fight would eventually end, the winner would control the entire universe.

[Sandman]

"Agh! NO!" Sahruk shouted, along with Seidaku, he knew what this meant. Without wasting anytime, they all knew what had to be done, and so it began. Sahruk began the fight without any words.

He ran towards the prepared Zennousha, he grabbed his blades and pumped them right into Zennousha's chest, burning as they slid in. "What!?" Sahruk said with surprise. Before he could realise that his swords gave no pain, he was booted in his gut, sending him through where the temple doors used to be , although he quickly charged back just as quick as he was sent back. Sahruk watched as Zennousha slowly pulled out Sahruk's swords. Zennousha held them by the handle, burning his skin every second, but Zennousha smiled almost as if he felt nothing. He threw the swords to the ground, showing that they would do nothing, and wielding them would be pointless.

Sahruk charged up his energy and gaven Zennousha something that was worth fighting. Zennousha merely pushed off every punch and kick, almost as if he could predict the next 30 punches and kicks in 3 seconds.

Not stopping, Sahruk shouted out to his comrades, "I could use a little help here!"

Zennousha merely cackled as the barrage of attacks failed to make any harmful connection.

[Red16]

Seidaku understood, and charged Zennousha along with Sahruk. Zennousha managed to dodge and block all their lightspeed attacks one after the other. Zennousha then broke their attacks, and countered with a sheild of energy that knocked Seidaku and Sahruk back. Seidaku looked at Zennousha, then recharged back at him. Zennousha easily dodged Seidaku's attack, then gave him a deep blow in the stomache. Seidaku flew upward, then suddenly stopped. He then added more gravity to the spot where Zennousha was. The instant increase made Zennousha stumble a small amount, enough for Seidaku to give him a swift kick to the face, sending Zennousha flying. Whilst he flew away, Seidaku stuck his index finger towards Zennousha.

"I haven't used this one in a long time. ELEMENT BEAM!" Seidaku shouted. A handful of elementals spiraled out and ran right into Zennousha's chest. They caused the area around Zennousha to explode. Smoke erupted from the area, and Seidaku smirked. His smirk was easisly wiped away however, when he was attacked from behind by his father. Zennousha grabbed Seidaku by the wings, and spun him around in circles, then let him go, sending Seidaku flying mangled into the sky.

Zennousha then cupped his hands together, and quickly fired a beam of energy towards Seidaku. Quickly, Seidaku threw his hands out, and instantly froez the beam in mid-flight. He then moves of the beams way, where it flew off into the distance.

"He is definately going to be hard to take down..." Seidaku said, blood starting to reappear in some scratches on his skin.

[Sandman]

Sahruk looked on as Seidaku, the son of the god, a god himself, couldn't stand up to Zennousha. "We're not making any progre--" Sahruk's statement was stopped when Zennousha turned the tables and went on the offensive.

He landed a direct body check against Sahruk's armor, burning his own skin in the process, but his skin merely regenerated the burnt skin. Sahruk flew backwards, and he recovered by backflipping off his hands, and rebounding back to Zennousha like Majotte did earlier against Gekido, except, not secretly sipping an android into the ground.

"Try this on for size!" Sahruk said as he flew passed Zennousha, ramming his legs, causing him to fall forward. He began the move he once taught Majotte how to do, in his own way. As Zennousha tilted forward, his neck was slammed by Sahruk's elbow, forcing him to slam into the ground, but was interrupted as Sahruk managed to get under Zennousha's body before he reached the ground. Sahruk immediately launched Zennousha back upwards into the air, through the roof of the temple, creating a huge whole.

"Celestial Dance!" Sahruk shouted as soon as Zennousha went through the roof. He charged up and beat Zennousha at getting to the clouds. He was about to grab Zennousha by the neck and twirl his body around his own, and then launch him back downwards, but, by the time Sahruk was going to grab the demon, Zennousha took control of the attack and speared Sahruk farther up.

"Aghh! DAMNIT!" Sahruk shouted as they flew upwards. Zennousha then reversed the move, by hurling Sahruk so fast down back into the temple he couldn't even regain control and landed right down back into the temple, flat on his back.

"We're failing.." Sahruk said with a discouraged tone.

[i]We're not all here. If everyone else tried, we could probably stand a better chance.[/i]

"Yes, a better chance. That will not guarentee both of the following things, 1. They won't even consider working with us, and 2. We still won't have a chance. None of the others had the power of gods, this...This demon! He consumed all the Gods on the counsel!" Sahruk said still on the ground. Then, Zennousha returned, elbowing Sahruk right in the center of his chest. Zennousha got up and grabbed Sahruk by his shoulder pads, and put Sahruk on his feet.

Sahruk stood there, dazed, the wind knocked out of him. Zennousha stepped back and prepared an 'underhand' punch towards Sahruk.

[i]The fuck!? Snap out of it![/i]

Sahruk quickly grabbed Zennousha's fist, and stopped it immediately. "Fool.." Sahruk and Zennousha said equally, although, Zennousha proved to be the only one to deserve saying it by putting more power into that punch. Overpowering Sahruk, Sahruk's body flew back towards Seidaku.

[Makurayami]

((Guys, come on, my last part of my post was [i]The others were still there, in their various locations around the ruined planetoid. But Gekido was no where to be seen.[/i] Maybe I should of been more obvious, but Gekido died there. Gekido was gone by any posts after mine. If you could, just edit your posts accordingly so Gekido is not actually there and it flows together.))

Zain looked around. He didn't know where he was. There was just light everywhere. Eternal light, the type that went on forever.

Last he remmebered he succumbed to his inner rage and became the abomination known as Gekido. He had then been forced to watch, as if trapped in the driver's seat but with no control of the wheel, as he engaged in his demonic art of bloodlust. He had formed an alliance with the demon, Shar, beaten the half-sayain boy (who he still didn't know the name of) to an inch within his life, engaged Majotte, then thrown an all out, last-result, ditch, attack at the unholy god, Zennousha. Zain shook his head, his red hair with the voilent black streaks shaking as well. He was back to normal again. But where was he? Was he...

Was he dead?

Suddenly a fire started in the distance. It started small, then became bigger and bigger, burning with an intense red flame. Zain looked and saw a figure appear in the fire. The figure became bigger and bigger as it came towards Zain. As it came within his sight range, Zain made out who it was. It was Gwenalin, Zain's long-dead woodling mother.

"Son," she whispered as she came close.

"Mother, I-" Zain began, but was cut off.

"Listen now, my son. You have fallen far from the path, that is obvious, but worry not. Your destiny is not yet complete, and we have the power to send you back"

'We?' Zain wondered silently.

"Yes, we," Gwenalin said as if read Zain's thoughts. "But we each have a gift for you as well. My gift for you, my beloved son, if the gift of knowledge.

"To you I give the knowledge of nature, and with the knowledge comes the powers of nature. Once one understands nature, nature will understand it, and so it shall willingly perform tasks that are asked of it. This is the secret of the woodlings, the secret given by our gods the Seraphim, and it is what allows us to use nature. We do not control it, we ask of it for its powers, and if worthy, nature obliges(sp?).

"And now, I leave you, take care my son, and forget not that I love you." Gwenalin turned around and dissappeared. The red fire remained through, burning brightly. Zain looked behind him and noticed another fire was starting to burn. This one was black though. It burned much the way as the first, getting bigger and bigger until a figure appeared in it. The figure came closer and Zain noticed that it was Rahk. Zain was about to speak, but Rahk stopped him with a wave of a hand.

"Listen, friend, because we don't have much time. I have a gift for you as well. I have watched you and seen you fall into the pits of you own inner darkness. Don't worry about it, we all do. What I have for you will fix that, though. For you I have the gift of control.

"The stone you wore around you neck will be infused within your body. Gekido will always exist, but he can be kept in check with the stone. It won't only take the stone, though, you also must want Gekido to be kept under control. He is powerful, Zain, I know, but you can channel the power that he wields as your own. Do so, Zain, for that is your power to begin with.

"Now, friend, go, and don't forget that I'm always with ya'," Rahk smiled. He turned around and disappeared. Zain looked and saw another fire started to grow like the first and second one. This fire was golden. When it reached the size of the other two, a figure appeared. As this figure got closer, though, Zain did not recognize him.

"Quiet, boy, I don't expect you to recognize me," the man said. He was built much like Zain, except older. He had dark black hair and a permanent five o'clock shadow. His eyes were a bit like Zain's, being dark black, but lacked the golden rims. He wore a black, full-bodied, skin tight suit with white chest armour that had yellow panels along the waist area. He also wore white gloves and boots.

"Ok, here's the deal boy. My name is Noah, and I'm am...well, I'm you father." Zain's jaw dropped uncontrolably at this. Noah waved him off and continued. "I'm here to give you a gift like all the others. Zain, I want to see you fight. Not only that, I want to see you win. So, here's the gift of power. Use it well, and win with it god damn-it." Noah nodded at Zain then turned around and disappeared.

Zain stood there, stunned. He wasn't ready for what happened next. The red fire suddenly lept forward on its own accord and engulfed Zain.

Zain felt his body. His hair turned solid red and his eyes solid gold. His clothes were replaced with simple brown pants and shirt with a brown cloack. His muscles reclined a bit, but his mind was overwhelmed with the ancient knowledge of the woodlings. He felt the knowledge sweep through him. He was suddenly aware of nature and all of its secrets. Not just a small bit of manipulation like before, but completly intuned with it.

Then the black fire launched forward and sourounded Zain. Zain's hair turned black and his eyes became crimson. His clothes were now black pants, combat boots, a black shirt and a black leather trench coat. His muscles became bigger and black angelic wings formed on his back. He felt the power flowing through him and the need for blood. But then there was a green flash. Zain was in control. He still felt to bloodlust, but he could curve the craving. He was its master, and it would listen to him.

Then the gold fire lept forward and engulfed him. His hair turned SSJ golden and his eyes the SSJ blue color. His clothes were replaces with the outfit that Noah had worn, the sayain armour. His muscles bulged beneath the suit and a tail suddenly sprung from his rear. He felt power, power like never before, flowing through him. He wanted to fight. But more importantly, he wanted to win.

Then there was another flash. Zain cycled through his three forms at a rapid rate as the flames of all three fires danced around him. There was another flash, and Zain stood a new person.

His hair a mix between golden, black, and red, multiple strands of each color woven into one another and reaching down to the small of his neck. His eyes were SSJ blue with golden rims and crimson swirls. His mucles were moderate size, but powerful. He also had an ape-like tail and black angelic wings. His clothes were now black pants with combat boots, a green long-sleeved shirt with the sayain battle armour over it and a black cloack on top. Zain looked at his new self, a marvel of knowledge, power, and control. But one thing was missing.

"My sword," Zain said. There was another flash and a sword appeared in his hand. It had a golden handle and long silver blade. Carved into the blade was a picure of a woodling woman tending to a plant, an angelic demon taking flight, and a sayain ozaru beating its chest.

"NOW GO!" Rahk, Gwenalin, and Noah all shouted at once. There was another blinding flash and the new Zain found himself in the middle of a temple. He saw Sahruk flying backwards and into Seidaku, and a figure that looked like James, except different somehow. And then there was Zennousha, who was in the middle, obviously fighting to his full extent.

Zain reared back and then launched forward. As he neared Zennousha, who was caught off guard the by sudden entrance of the new fighter, a giant vine about four feet in diameter launched out of the ground. It broke through the temple floor and sent Zennousha into the air. Zain ran under him, then jumped. As he jumped he spun and pulled a bycyle kick off, nailing Zennousha and sending him flying into the floor of the temple. Zain spun in the air so he was facing the crater that housed Zennousha. He powered up a ki blast and sent it straight at him.

Zennousha caught it, but struggled to keep it under control. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND HOW ARE YOU SO POWERFUL?" he bellowed. As the ki beam began to loose its edge, Zennousha threw it over his shoulder. Before he had even completed the throw, Zain had teleported in front of him. He swung his sword in an upper slash and hacked into Zennousha's chest, blood spurting out as the silver blade touched his skin. Zain then spun with his momentum and roundhouse kicked Zennousha, sending him into the wall and kicking up a large dust cloud. As the dust cleared, Zennousha pulled himself up, hurt slightly, but obviously still able to fight. This would indeed be a long battle.

"You still haven't answered my quetion," the fallen god said. "Who are you?"

"I am the perfect balance the three most powerful races to ever live. I am the one who will slay you. I am Zain!" Zain shouted as he shot forward so fast he almost broke the sound barrier and hurtled into Zennousha, sword swinging so fast it was a silver blur.

[Kre]

Suzu drifted almost lifeless in space. He looked over his shoulder to she the portal thning, it was barly open. He moved as fast as he could and barly made it into the portal.

"Air!" he whispered to himself.

He looked around at the others that were fighting the God.He noticed Seidaku standing right next to him. He looked over to him.

"Seidaku, can u heal me? he showed up his stumped elbow."I want to fight bt your sides"

Suzu noticed that the third Saiyan was back but his power was huge.

"Just who is that man?"

[Red16]

Seidaku looked down toward the beaten up Saiyan, his hands reached out to the boy, but he then jumped back. Sahruk came flying through the scene, then away is the distance. Seidaku knew he'd be back. He walked toward the hurt saiyan.

"You took one hell of a beating." Seidaku told him, kneeling down to his side. "I will heal you, but, you mustn't try too hard to fight this God, he is immensly strong. He is stronger than my brother Kairiki..."

Seidaku raised his hands toward Suzu, then his hands slowly began to glow green. Seidaku unleashed some energy onto Suzu, but instead of hurting him, it healed him. Half of the cuts and bruises were gone.

"I could only heal you to 50% of your strength, hope that works.." Seidaku said. He then left the saiyan boy, and ran towards the direction of the mysterious fighter and Zennousha. He witnessed the last attack Zain did. He hacked away at Zennousha, and, although it looked as though he was winning, he was actually missing most of his shots.

'His power is incredible.." Seidaki murmured. "This man will need help.." Seidaku blasted towards the scene, then, within his hands, created two breams of fire in his hands. He grabbed them like swords, and started to slash alongside Zain with them (OOC: The beams look alot like lightsabers, without the handle). Together the slashes and hacks at Zennousha were too much to concentrate on both. Blood starting flying around their bodies. Seidaku then gave Zennousha a swift kick to the chest, sending him flying and crashing out of the temple, and onto the clouds. Seidaku landed, Zennousha's blood on his clothes. The blood sizzled and bubbled, then evaporated. Seidaku then stared at the mysterious man. He finally managed to concentrate long enough to see who it was.

"..Zain...!?"

[Sandman]

[i]Impossible.[/i]

"Actually, it's quite possible." Sahruk responded, getting up.

[i]Nevermind, get up and continue the fight.[/i]

Sahruk took notice to the injured Saiyan and approached him, "Your arm is badly damaged...Well, the area where you arm should be is badly damaged. Now, hold still, this will hurt, but I'm sure you'll find it to be worth it." Sahruk said as he slowly embued Suzu with the proper strength to regenerate a new arm. Sahruk then charged up, for the first time, putting real power to his body. He leaped towards Zennousha.

"My Turn." Sahruk said as he went between Seidaku and Zain, making direct eye-contact with Zain for a split second as he flew by. He uppercutted Zennousha into the air, and then elbowed him in the gut while he was a foot off a cloud, sending him back about 50 yards. He then charged up energy into his left palm.

"Only one thing for me to try."

With that energy, glowing light blue in his palm, he grasped the Heavenly Orb that was attached to his necklace. There were warriors of gods, and Heaven, even Hell. But, only few were selected in all eternity to own a weapon of the gods. No more than a 100 warriors in all Eternity have ever had a Godly Weapon handed down to them.

Sahruk held the orb in his left hand, the orb began to glow. It's hidden powers were beginning to become activated. After a few seconds, it began to crack. And through that crack, a white liquid began to pour out. Sahruk sipped that liquid and felt it go down his throat and into his body. The cool sensation it gave through-out his body. The liquid activated something in his body. Something no warrior, angel, or civilian of Heaven should ever feel. The most important weapon a fighter needs to fuel his or her fight. Anger. The last resort. He was overwhelmed with greed, and drank the rest of the liquid.

His armor, was then tainted with a dark dark grey, almost black, but enough to notice it was still gray.

"The gods told me that one day, when I knew to use this. It would be limited. It won't last long. I need to use it wisely." Sahruk said, trying to contain himself.

[i]Well, wise or not. It's too late to stop now.[/i]

Sahruk then gave in to the anger, "Agh! This power is literally awesome! I haven't felt like this since before I died!" he shouted. By this time, Zennousha had made his way back to Sahruk.

"So, there's a little bit more of a kick to this meal is there, now?" Zennousha said grappling Sahruk.

"You better fucking believe it." Sahruk said as he was actually able to hold back Zennousha. He pushed Zennousha back a bit, and then shot an onslaught of energy attacks that were only meant to keep pushing back Zennousha. Finally, when Zennousha was far enough, he charged up an energy beam. He then fired his energy beam, and it ripped through Zennousha's skin and flesh.

[i]Oh My God![/i]

"Heh." Sahruk said with happiness in his voice. Although, he was quickly disappointed when Zennousha regenerated himself. "Damnit! Why can't we defeat him, or atleast hurt him!" Sahruk shouted.

"Fool, I have the power of 5 gods within my body. I may be mortal, but do the math, 5 Gods." Zennousha said, taunting everyone.

Sahruk then powered down, and stopped.

"There's no point in continuing to fight him. I haven't given it my all, even with the power of the Heaven Orb. I'm going to leave it to you Majotte." Before Sahruk let go of his posession over Majotte's body, he looked at the others, Zain, Seidaku, James, even the still damaged Suzu. He through his hand up, and opened his palm, thus pouring a small trickle of the liquid he drank. "Let it fuel your need to survive" Sahruk said before his body hit the clouds.

Not long later, it got back up, except, with the mind of Majotte. Looking the exact same way he did before his father took control.

"Feels good to get back to control around here."

[Makurayami]

Zain felt the liquid hit his body and give him an energy boost. He then looked at Majotte. He was back to normal, except he was missing an arm. It was his robotic arm, Zain realized. He wondered where it was, but then dimissed the thought as trivial.

Zain smirked at Zennousha's commit about having five gods' powers. "Quality over quanity, you'll soon learn that," he taunted. The god grew angry at this and let out a small bellow. He then shot forward at the group. "Seidaku, Majotte, flank him, I'll take him head on - and boy, stay the hell out of our way unless you want to get hurt!" Zain said quietly as fast as he could.

Just as the last word left his mouth, Zennousha hit Zain in the face with a punch. Zain rolled with the attack, lessening the blow, and then continued spinning, going into a round house kick. He nailed Zennousha in the face and then followed up with a flurry of of kicks to Zennousha's head. He finished the combo by kicking him vicously upwards, sending him up a bit, then bringing the heel of his combat boot crashing down on his face. As the once-god stumbled back slightly, Zain flapped his wings and rushed forward started to swing his sword in a blur of motion, stalling for Majotte and Seidaku to flank Zennousha.

[Red16]

"Majotte, you take the left, I've got the right!" Seidaku told Majotte. He then blasted off were Zain was already fighting. Zain was slowly pushing him back, but there was nothing to stop them in that wide open area of clouds. Seidaku's entire arms began to glow gold, then in a second, a rock formation sprouted from the clouds, and created a large wall that stood behind Zennousha. The wall then crept forward, making it impossible to escape upward. Seidaku then charged at Zennousha, his hand instantly turning into a very large sharp icicle.

[Sandman]

Majotte got up, on his knees, and to his surprise, he was missing an arm.

"Holy shit." he said calmly.

[i]Oh yea, before I leave. I'll leave things the way they should be. It is my fault anyway..[/i]

Instantly, Majotte's arm grew back, the way it should be. He felt the new blood flowing throughout his body, he can tell a major chang had just happened as the blood made it's way from his arm to his legs, to his heart.

"Oh yea. This [i]is[/i] the way it should be." Majotte said with a smirk on his face, "Let's see how far I need to go to use this." Majotte then charged towards Zennousha, and took his left, as told. Charged up, and taunted Zennousha to make a move.
