Chapter 2: Forces of Darkness

[Cell]

[Crehavos, LGN, Evil Kin, Geo (unconcious)]
[Fallen Angel Castle]

BANG! The sound of a gunshot going off somewhere down in the castle startled Crehavos. Who in the world would be idiotic enough to bring guns into the Hell King's Castle? Seeing as Crehavos didn't want to make an abrupt scene downstair right away, he closed his eyes momentarily; searching for their energy signals.

Crehavos scowled when he sensed the two people downstairs; why was Evil Kin downstairs with LGN? More importantly, how in the world did LGN find his way here? He also sensed Geo's faint energy signal. That did it, Crehavos stormed out his room with built up rage and began heading down quickly through the castle floors.

Once he arrived in the main hall, he hid himself in the shadows... watching... waiting...

The two were yelling at each other back and forth. LGN seems to be a bit on the denial side of reality, and Evil Kin seems to continue to be a jackass. And then LGN shouted, "Cut the crap and attack!", Crehavos knew it was time to intervine.

Both of the warriors charged at one another, murder in their eyes. However, they did not expect to run into a newly conjured barrier that formed in between them. Both fell down on their behinds, looking around puzzled.

"GAH! What the hell?!" Evil Kin shouted.

"Where'd.... this barrier come from?" LGN asked to no one in particular.

"Do you really have to guess?" A deep echoing voice rang out through the room. There out of the shadows came Lord Crehavos in his black and red suit. He began walking down the enourmous banister of stairs, obviously displeased in what he saw.

"Oh look, it's the great Lord Crehavos! Oooh, I'm so scared. BAH! What's so scary about a dream?" LGN said mockingly.

Evil Kin looked kind of worried, Crehavos looked angry. He turned towards LGN and said, "LGN, don't test him... I mean it..."

LGN turned at Evil Kin and actually yelled at him, "Don't tell me what to do!" The boy focused his attention back on the descending Crehavos, smiling darkly.

"You don't scare me, Crehavos. You're nothing more than a nightmare to me, a nightmare I do not fear. I do not fear the things my mind creates, so there is nothing you can do to harm me, frighten me, or do anything at all to me! I'm unstoppable in this dream world!" LGN said.

LGN had said too much. In an instant, he was pinned against the wall, being choked by the Hell Lord's hand; flaming talons digging into the boy's neck.

"I'm not real, you say? I cannot harm you at all, whatsoever?" Crehavos asked, voiced laced with dark, cold death. "You foolish child. You don't know how wrong you are!"

Crehavos dug his talons deeper into LGN's neck, now making him scream. He then pulled his sharp claws out of his neck, and tossed him extremely hard right into the other wall across the room.

Evil Kin made a movement indicating he was going to join the fight, but Crehavos barked, "Stay back! This one is mine!"

[Big Boss]

Evil Kin made a movement indicating he was going to join the fight, but Crehavos barked, "Stay back! This one is mine!"

EKin: Fine then... you dont have to raise your voice..im gonna go take care of Kin and Geo
*He grabs the two and teleports to His room*

EKin: Here, I dont want you guys getting hurt while crehavos is fighting
*Places them next to each other*

EKin: well then..see ya

*teleports out of the room*

Something strange started to happen..both Kin and Geo were starting to give off a strange aura, Silver and crimson..they both intertwined and connected with each other...

*?*

Kin: where the heck am I?

Geo: thats what I would like to know...

Kin: Geo!

Geo: Kin!

[ManOfSteele]

[Dark World Plains: Doom, Snicket, Snake, Veronica, Yoshi, Mr. Game & Watch, Ike, Amaya, Zel, Brooke, Ian, Steele]

As the dust cleared, there was too much chaos to make of anything; nobody had no idea LGN had left. Steele still lost in the commotion (Cough, cough) had no idea what was going on. Suddently, he heard all sorts of sounds at once. Snake cursing under his breath, Yoshi screaming, and particularly a low hum of an ariplane fighter.

Steele looked up to see a fighter in the distance, heading for the pyramid.

Steele: Ok, I have Absolutley no idea what's going on (cough, cough) so I'm gonna follow that fighter.

Steele through the commotion started running in the pyramid's direction. After gaining some speed, he fliped on his jetpack with his elbow and jumped up, and started flying. He wasn't able to catch up to the fighter, but he did reach the pyramid realitivley quickly. After reaching the top, he noticed the big hole where a small portal was about to close. Without really thinking, he jumped down and through the portal, completley unaware where it lead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Steele]
[Fallen Angel Castle]

As he landed in a hallway with a thud, he noticed that the portal closed behind him. After comming to his senses, he made out what appeared to be shouting from the main hall.

Crehavos(But unknown to Steele): Stay back! This one is mine!

Not knowing what was going on, he decided to go seek for the source of the noise.

[bobsnicket]

[Dark World Plains: Doom, Snicket, Snake, Veronica, Yoshi, Mr. Game & Watch, Ike, Amaya, Zel, Brooke, Ian]

Suddenly, as Snicket clashed against the huge Moblin chief (a.k.a. running around it trying to survive), Snake decided to call an air strike force to aid them. In a chaotic mass of explosions in which both LGN and Steele disappeared, the crafts finally arrived.

Hmm...our party is dwindling like the population of the Bengal Tiger... he thought. Bob looked ponderously and indecisively at the Moblin chief's blood-shot eyes once more. Better move on before we're blown up by a group of bombers, beheaded by pigs, or worse... He wondered what was going on back at HQ. Although he had brushed briefly with this Crehavos he'd heard about, apparently he was much, much worse than any of them could have dreamed of. The Niluck Stone awaited.

Snicket shouted as loud as he could as the bombers descended to drop their loads over the Moblin forces. "Everyone who is still here...and alive...to the pyramid! The rest of the Moblins I think will be handled by Snake's reinforcements. This way!"

Bob barely avoided another heavy swing from the Moblin Chief; he unleashed his Switch Hook at the Moblin closest to where his green prehistoric friend stood, and switched places.

Snicket turned to Yoshi. "The time has come for you to become my steed once more, old friend."

Yoshi nodded, and allowed Bob to climb on. Mr. Game & Watch, too slow to escape alone, hitched a ride behind him, and together they sped away through the thinning Moblin ranks, and towards the dark gaping hole which marked the pyramid's entrance. They stopped at the entrance, checking to see if everyone else was on their way.

A dozen or so Moblins were pursuing them, of course. "Let's see how these swine handle this..." Snicket raised his white gloves, and after a moment of concentration, his right glove turned black.

In front of the entrance appeared a hot dog stand with a fat jolly mustachioed man holding up a wiener and calling out the name of his product. The Moblins neared Snicket, but upon sight of the clever illusion of their own barbequed meat, all of them turned back and fled, squealing in fright (only to see the air force, of course).

"A hot dog stand?" Yoshi queried. "Really?"

"Hey," Bob said with a thin smile as they waited for their remaining party members to join them. "I've got to exercise the full extent of these Illusionist's Gloves...and my imagination."

[Big Boss]

Evil Kin was walking around the halls after bringing Kin and Geo back in his room.

EKin: *thinking to himself* you know...for a castle in hell this place isnt really THAT bad, Having Super powers and being ruled by some Kid that has social issues is pretty kewl... I can get to learn to like being here...I guess being evil again isnt that bad...for me Heh...ill take this all to the bank...hmm odd i feel a different energy around..

Evil Kin snapped his fingers and was enshrouded by silver mist and turned invisible. Out of the corner came Steele, looking lost and ready for anything.

EKin:*thinking to himself* Hmm... i dont remember this one..but he has the SSS symbol....this is getting weird..now theres even more..I gotta do something about this.

Out of knowhere Evil Kin reapeared in front of steele.

EKin: excuse me....what buisness do you have at master crehavos's castle?

[ManOfSteele]

[Steele, EKin]

Steele jumped back and began to reach for his sword at the instantaneous sight of this new person. Steele looked puzzled at this man. Strangly he got an overwhelming feeling of nostilgia. He really felt like he was talking to Kin, but he wasn't. There was something different about this one, something very different.

Steele: Master who?? And who are you??

EKin: Hmmmm...... I don't think you're in the position to ask questions....

Steele knew he was right, he could feel that this man was very powerful, so he had no choice to comply.

Steele: I am Steele, I came here out of a portal that opened up in the pyramid. What I am doing now..... I have no clue...... Who is this Cerhavos person?

[Kitt eh]

(Fallen Angel Castle)
.:Lynx, LGN, Crehavos:.

Lynx fell face first on the hard floor. He had used a blood portal... again.

Lynx: *mummbles* D*mn it, that hurt!

He sat up, holding his sore head. Shaking out any dizziness he might have felt.

Lynx: Couldn't I have landed a little 'nicer' there...

Akki: *snickers* No.

Lynx: *growls*

Akki: ... There sure is a lot of energy here.....

[ness11]

[LGN, Crehavos, Steele?]
{Fallen Angel Castle}

Crehavos: Did you feel that fool? That's called pain, and pain doesn't occur in dreams.

LGN was laying on the floor and rolled over and slowly got up. He stared back at Crehavos and simply rolled his neck.

LGN: Is that all you got? *breaths in* You don't even have a clue what's in my arsenal. *revs up Tornado Terror*

Crehavos: Whatever you have can't possibly defeat me mortal.

LGN: Oh yeah? Well I'm just gonna rock you like a hurricane insted then!

LGN fires off a gust of wind from his gun. At first nothing appears to have happened, but soon winds swirl and furniture and decore of the castle are tossed around. Soon a phunnel forms and largers furniture like tables and chairs are being tossed about. The tornado rips hole through the ceiling and a table flies over and neaerly whacks Crehavos. Crehavos was slowly getting angry at LGN, for he started to think that LGN's plan now that Kin and Geo were gone was to destroy his castle.

Crehavos: For each floor you damage adds ten times the pain you'll recieve, and you better hope that tornado doesn't rip through more then one floor! *another floor breaks* That's it, here comes the pain kid. *starts running over through the tornado*

LGN: That's only the first part of my trick!

LGN then let's lose his Flame Furance (same gun with different mod) and the large metal ball hits Crehavos. While it didn't really hurt him at first the ball burst into flames and Crehavos and the deprey caught on fire. The tornado now looked like a swirling inferrno and LGN grinned under his helmet. He had no idea if Crehavos was getting hurt or not, but he sure was raising the roof and taking the house down.

LGN: Oh no
Oh no (yo yo yo)
Oh no I didn'! (from Mercenaries 2 comercial)

[Big Boss]

EKin: first off, My name is Kin.

Steele: wait, theres two of you?

EKin: ya im the darker side of Kin..I used to be dormant in his body a while ago...then he found a way to get me out after i caused alot of bad things to the SSS a while ago..and now Im here working for Crehavos.. a very powerfull person at this time...I do beleive that He is fighting with LGN at the moment.

Steele: LGN! where is this going on!?

EKin:...I could take you if you wanted...or I could send you back to your world and forget that i ever saw you...whats your pick?

[ManOfSteele]

Steele: Well I'm not afraid of a challenge, like that time I invented toast.

EKin:........Ummmmm what??

Steele: Just take me to the battle

[Big Boss]

EKin: fine..its your deathwish..Crehavos will see you as a enemy also, but whatever..
*snaps fingers*

the two teleported to the site of the battle.

Crehavos: what are you doing back?

EKin: before you get your pantys in a knot i found this Steele Guy from the SSS...he was looking for LGN soo i sent him to you, now Good day. I have to look for dobs..if you need meh ill be in space.

[Cell]

[Crehavos, LGN]
[Fallen Angel Castle]

The inferno was starting to rip apart the castle, the destruction from it was massive. Crehavos was fuming, this would not continue anymore. The Hell King made a sweeping movement with his arm, and the swirling inferno fell apart.

LGN stood there, not really seeming to be bothered by this. However on the other end, Crehavos looked as though he was about to kill.

"You come into my home... and destroy it..." Electricity currents were swirling around the Hell King, dust began to blow outwards away from him. Crehavos face was hidden by his hair as he was looking towards the ground. He spoke again, the demon blood inside him seeming to be drawn further out, "You will pay....."

Crehavos clenched his fists, and looked at LGN and screamed, "YOU WILL PAY!!!" A high wind began blowing, and there was a burst of enourmous power. Crehavos lunged at LGN, who was still just standing there, and knocked him flying through the castle walls, to out of the castle. He began zooming after him, sword scrapping roughly against the floor, causing flames to erupt behind it.

Once the enraged Hell King was outside, he say LGN standing on his feet once again in a battle position, bruised and bloody. LGN shoot a bazooka at the Crehavos, but it exploded without causing so much as a scratch.

Crehavos disappeared from sight, leaving LGN to look around for him. In an instant, the Hell Lord appeared in front of behind him, hitting him in the head with his sword's hilt.

"AAAHHH!" LGN screamed. Crehavos seemed to have broken through his helmet and fractured the back of his skull. LGN turned around in anger and yelled, "You bastard!" He swung at Crehavos with a rappid barrage of punches and kicks, the Hell Lord dodging every one. Finally, the Hell Lord grabbed him by the wrist and lifted him high off his feet.

"You wretched child! Have you no respect?! I rule all of the dead here, this is my domain!" Crehavos shouted. He then held his sword up to LGN's left arm, finally seeing some panic in his eyes.

"Wait, what are you doing?!" LGN said in a panic.

"Teaching you a lesson. This well make you learn to never mess with Lord Crehavos again."

SHINK! "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" LGN fell to the ground clutching his now limbless nub of an arm. Crehavos smirked, saying "Do you believe I'm real now, LGN?"

Before LGN could answer, two people appeared just a few feet away. Evil Kin, with another person Crehavos didn't know stood a mere 50 feet away. Crehavos scowled and said, "What are you doing back?" Evil Kin explained and then left, leaving the new person alone. Crehavos glared at the new person, saying, "You want to be next, fool?"

[Doomflame]

[Dark World Plains: Doom, Snicket, Snake, Veronica, Yoshi, Mr. Game & Watch, Ike, Amaya, Zel, Brooke, Ian]

Doom noticed someone runnign ahead. then he used a jet pack and went somewhere. "interesting..." doom thought. Then Doom ran towards the person, which he now noticed was steele, and made a board of flame and followed him.

[Steele, (unaware of Doom...so he thinks...)]
[Fallen Angel Castle]

Doom saw Steele enter a portal. The portal closed instantly. Using the remnats of the portal's portalieness that is still in the air, Doom created another portal. Doom jumped into the portal.

[Steele, EKin, (unware of doom....or so doomt thinks...]
Doom landed and closed the portal. Then he saw Steele heading somewhere and pursued him. When doom reached a corner he saw Steele talking to some guy. Doom could only make out some of what he was saying, he got the ending though. Doom followed the two.

[Epic]
{Ganondorf's castle}

"hmm...this is getting quite boring," Epic thought. "Well, there hasn't been any challengers lately so i might as well leave." Epic dug out a magical item and used it. A portal was made in the air. Epic Jumped into the portal.

[LGN, Crehavos, Steele, Ekin, Doom, Epic]
{Fallen Angel Castle}

Epic crashed landed inside a vast area. Epic scanned the area. He appeared to be inside a castle, with 2 people fighting to the death.

[Kitt eh]

(Fallen Angel Castle)
.:Lynx, LGN, Crehavos, Evil Kin, Steele, Doom, Epic:.

Lynx had watched the 2 people fight, not very thrilled with what he was seeing, but at the time he wasn't caring. He was trying his best to stay hidden, he wasn't looking forward to be going into battle. He crouched down near a wall, and sighed.

Lynx: Would you explain to me where we are?

Akki: Lynx-kun, I already said, it is random, I have no idea where this place is.

Lynx was trying to stay calm, but all the powerful energy was making it hard to do. He was feeling a bit sick because of it.

Lynx: D*mn, I don't like this at all...

[ManOfSteele]

[Crehavos, LGN, Steele]
[Fallen Angel Castle]

Steele looked upon the scene with dismay. He was too late. LGN had lost an arm. many emotions gripped at Steele: Fear, worry, regret, sadness, and anger. He looked upon Crehavos with a hateful glow in his eyes.

Steele:.....You'd better regenerate his arm. I've been told that you are very powerful; it should be a very simple task for you.......

Crehavos: And who the heck are you to tell--

Steele: LISTEN YOU BASTARD!!! You'd better do something, if you know what's good for you!!!

Without thinking, Steele grabbed the two swords on his back and thrusted them at great speed and power at Crehavos, aiming right at him. Crehavos easially dodged them. Simultaniously, Steele had unsheathed his katana and rushed at Crehavos. As he closed in and swung, Crehavos caught the blade in his hand. Crehavos smirked at Steele; Steele was looking at Crehavos with a killing stare.

Suddently, Steele thrused his left elbow (the opposite hand that was weilding his sword) foward and hit Crehavos' chest, near his left shoulder. Soon, blood started to ooze from Crehavos' chest: There had been a knife consealed in the cloth under Steele's elbow. Steele looked to see a reaction from his opponent, who looked like he'd been tickled by a feather.

Crehavos:Ok, now you get punished too.

Steele: I don't think so!!!!!

Steele reached into his pocket, and grabbed a handful of small bombs and shoved them into the consealed knive's entry wound. At the same time, Crehavos grabbed Steele's opposite handand twisted it around, making him drop his katana. Upon seeing what Steele had done, Crehavos released his grip

Crehavos: Hmmm???

Steele picked up his katana, grabbed LGN, and ran about 30 yards away. BOOM!!! The bombs had exploded inside Crehavos. Steele turned around to see Crehavos's left arm completley blown off, the remaing skin was burn and parts of his clothes were on fire. He was still standing calmly though.

Steele:Ha!! Take that!!

Soon Steele's smile turned to a frown as a new arm poped out of his body. He even used energy to form new clothing.

Steele: Oh Crap

Crehavos: Now, it's ny turn fool.
