Chapter 5: Eclipse of Sin

[ManOfSteele]

[Steele, Zel]
[Skytown]

Steele scrutinized the area quickly. They were on a balcony somewhat over looking the tanks. Up in the hazy skies, a gigantic fleet could be seen in the far distance. Not far off, Steele could sense the gigantic power that was Crehavos, including a few of the SSS there to counter him. "Well then" Steele muttered. "I might need to take this off soon" his eyes shifted to his forehead where his power limiter was. "But for now, lets see how this plays out."

Steele rushed in towards Zel, sword drawn. He jumped up and slashed down at him. Zel quickly sidestepped and began to bring his sword down on Steele, who was recovering on the ground. The evil commander spun around with one leg out, tripping the SSS commander. Steele jumped up and caught Zel while he was in mid air, trying to get his footing again. Still in mid air, Steele backflipped while kicking Zel. Zel saw through this however, and put the flat edge of his sword in front of his leg in the nick of time.

The blow however was strong enough to knock Zel back, especially since he wasn't grounded. Steele's foot was also hurt, due to kicking hard forged metal. Zel, up in the air, regained stability, and floated down. Steele glided along the ground-with the help of his cape that transformed into wings-to where Zel landed. Steele held his sword at Zel, who did the same.

Zel was ready to defend when Steele hopped to the right while rushing at him. Zel quickly turned as Steele shouted "Lightning Volley!" Steele quickly gathered energy up, and condensed it to two lightning balls in each of his hands, and blasted them at Zel.

[Zel, Steele]
{skytown}


Zel blocked the lighting blast that came at him and began to cover them in black mist. Steele was flying as fast as a jet and Zel was running just as fast. He finally got close enough to grab his opponents arm. He reached out and took Steele's right arm and teleported him and his own self to somewhere quiet and secluded.

They looked around and saw rubble of a large semi-old building and to the right of these ruins were trees. Zel had already figured it out. They were on Smash Planet at the SSS HQ Ruins.

"What did you do. Where are we." Steele asked ferousicsly.

"I have teleported us to the former SSS HQ on Smash Planet. This is going to be your final battle as Crehavos' Commander." Zel anwsered.

"What do you mean?" Steele questioned in wonder.

"I mean that after this I'm taking you back to the Head Quarters and putting you in rehabbilatation. You my friend will be a SSS Member once again." Zel said.

And with that Zel sent a chaser spell at Steele. The spell chased him as he ran to dodge it.

"Try as you might that spell is going to hit you. Dont worry it wont hurt one bit. I guarentee it." Zel stated.

Steele finally turned on his feet and tryed to deflect the spell but as Zel had told him, it hit him square in the chest. Steele was suprised that the spell didnt do anything. At least didnt do anything yet. Little did Steele know the effects that were to ensue. The spell would make him drowsy then he'd loose consicousness all together.

"What was that, a bug" Steele asked retorically.

With that Steele jumped at Zel who was ready with sword in hand. As they fought Zel used his Sage powers to search Steele's body. He found the spell which was speading moderatley normal speed. Zel estimated the time of Steele's unconscousness.

"My friend you will loose in 15 minutes." Zel declared.

"We'll see about that." Steele said as he thrusted down on Zel's blade.

{Aurora Unit Chamber, Skytown}

Crehavos looked mercilessly down towards the four SSS members who opposed him with pity and disgust. He began to laugh mockigly as the kinetic lock behind them sealed the room. Behind the Hell Lord was a massive tube structure filled with a bubbling blue liquid. Dobs tried not to make it apparant on his face as he watched the blue liquid becoming slightly more translucent.

"Hey Crehavos!" he shouted out, "Did'ja miss me? You really need to do a better job with your human sacrifices. Make sure they're really dead before it bites you in the ass."

"You insolent little-"

((POTC- Skull and Crossbones))

BOOM!

The glass behind Crehavos shattered into a million pieces, and a strange blue liquid flooded the room. A massive purple laser shot from the eye of Aurora Unit 217 and into the back of the Dark Lord who was flung across the room and into the opposite wall.

"Go!" the deep voice of the Aurora Unit echoed through the room. Toran gazed at its master, "Run! Now! I can stall him only momentarily! Leave!"

Dobs yanked Toran's arm and dragged him through a conveniently sized hole in the wall created by 217's blast. The blue fluid drained from the room, flushing the four heros out so that only Crehavos and the Aurora Unit remained. The hellspawn rose from the wet pile of rubble with his hand raised to his forehead.

"That was very foolish for one so wise," he grumbled, "now you must pay the consequences."

He extended his arm forwards and a massive ball of red and black energy formed. He lowered his arm and released the blast towards 217, who shot another laser; intercepting the energy blast. The two collided and a massive explosion shook the entire station.

"Very interesting," Crehavos threw his hand to the side and created a Blaze Safeguard, a defensive barrier, "That energy blast of yours seems rather potent. I'll be sure not to let it hit me again."

Crehavos grinned as a black blade materialized in his hands. He flew forwards as the super computer shot a 3rd blast of energy at him which simply ricocheted into the ceiling, causeing more shrapnel to fall into the cluttered room. Crehavos swung his demonic blade and severed the cable linking the Aurora head to the network. However, to his great surprise, the head simply floated from its seemingly stationary position into the center of the room.

"This world is not yours for the taking."

Aurora Unit 217 extended four plasma rifles from various sockets on its head and spun rapidly, creating four red beams of plasma which were difficult to dodge to say the least. The intricate moldings of the chozo were slowly being destroyed as the Aurora made its final stand. However, its efforts were in vain. Each and every plasma blast simply bounced from Crehavos' seemingly impenitrable forcefield.

"Foolish being," Crehavos snickered, "I grow tired of your games."

He flew at the super computer once more and grabbed the armored plating on the Unit's frontal lobe. He forced the plates apart, revealing the computers sensitive purple inner workings. The Evil King then forced his right arm into the purple interior and charged another Hell Blitz energy blast. The sphere became bigger and bigger within the Aurora until its structure could no longer take the abuse. Aurora Unit 217 was destroyed in a brilliant explosion with red and black vapors, and its metal pieces ricocheted off teh walls as Crehavos slowly floated back towards the floor.

[Toran, Dobs, Eiron, Captain Falcon]
{Skytown Exterior}

The trio were sprinting towards Skytown's central Spire as the desperately tried to assemble a plan of action when Toran stopped short.

"217," he stated as sadly as a mechanical being can state something, "Has been terminated. I no longer feel his presence on this station. Crehavos has eliminated him. I must confront hi-"

As Toran turned back Dobs tackled him to the ground,"No!" Toran raised his plasma rifle to Dobs face; face filled with rage, "He'll destroy you! Our only chance is to get to the Theronian bombs and stall him until Sohaverc gets back. HE will avenge 217, and countless other lives, not you. YOU are going to help US stall before we ALL die."

"Your logic is sound," stated Toran. He rose to his feet and continued to follow the team to the Spire, where the bombs were being held. They arrived shortly afterward, at an eerily empty and large deck of SKytown. Elysia's ordinary blend of yellow and orange clounds had become an ominous grey, and enemy fighter ships could be seen in the distance. The low grumble of thunder rolled across the clouds to the four heroes awaiting their doom a the deck.

"I will scale the Spire's center and hide at at its peak," said Toran, "Once I arrive there, you will prop up a Theronian bomb and i will latch onto it with my grapple and pull it up. There should be a trapped door through which i can drop the bomb when the Demon comes. This should elminate the target."

"No Toran," said Dobs frankly, "It won't. Like it or not, nothing we can do will stop him. Skytown is beyond saving now, and so will the rest of the universe if we don't stall this guy long enough until his counterpart arrives. That is the only way to stop this. What we're doing now may very well be suicidal, but we'll get the job done. Do you understand?"
"Affirmative."
"Do we all understand?" Dobs gestured to Falcon and Eiron who nodded. "Good. Now close that door before Crehavos shows up."

The trap was set. The bait waiting for the rat to come for them...

[Skytown Hangar]

www.imeem.com/rik-petito/music/r0hD9bxc/lord-of-the-rings-the-end-of-all-things/

Bob Snicket and Yoshi witnessed through the large openings of the hangar as the first of the Fallen Angel Army struck in the darkness of powerless night, led by Karocka, swarming toward them like hellish bats. Winged demons and many other creatures, including demonized Auroras, alighted and dived toward Zel's forces with many a fell screech, signifying their bloodlust and thirst for battle. Many of them were blown out of the sky by troopers or blasted into innumerable pieces by the tank cannons, but many more reached Zel's forces. The soldiers hacked, slashed, and shot at the demons to fend them off. Some demons carried off screaming soldiers with scarlet claws and dropped them into the dark, cloud-covered abyss far below.

Nemeck and Arietta had also shown up, and were facing off against Dartainian and Ucria on a distant platform. On one of Skytown's tallest balconies, General Zel was engaged in combat against the traitorous young Steele. The SSS members who had still been on the original platform where they had met Eiron were now contributing themselves. Just for an example, Kirby had swallowed one of the smaller demons, and was now wreaking havoc among their ranks, posing as one of their own.

Hmm... he thought. The only party that he couldn't seem to spot would be Dobs and Eiron's which had gone to reactivate Skytown's network. Hopefully they were better off than the rest were.

Snicket shook his head, looking at Yoshi, and then back toward the direction Professor U. Reeka had been taken away for interrogation.

"This wasn't supposed to happen so soon," the boy said despondently. "If only we'd had a little more time for the last to arrive..."

"Well, the fact is, we didn't, Bob," Yoshi responded plainly. "So we'll simply have to make do with what we have." He looked left and right. "Where is Sovaherc, anyway?"

"Behind you."

Snicket looked around, and jumped, seeing Sovaherc standing less than a foot away from him. "I would really prefer if you refrained from doing that, Lord Sovaherc," he said with respect. "How did the interrogation go?"

"Not well," the glorious opposite stated. "The only thing he spoke of was what is occurring right now."

"Very helpful indeed," Bob said with a sigh. "Well, Sovaherc, what would you advise as the best course of action for the current situation?"

"How about what I would suggest, simpletonssss?"

This, of course, was not the voice of Crehavos's equal. No, the high-pitched drone came from atop the hull of Zel's ship, where the former prisoner stood with a wicked smile, his diamond frames glinting with dangerous intelligence. In his right hand was gripped the Magic Paintbrush, the marvelous tool of artistry which Bowser Jr. had obtained and implemented in an unsuccessful attempt to thwart Mario. But if you looked carefully at the insignia inscribed on a circular metal plate below the bristles, it was not a depiction of Professor Elvin Gadd. Not at all. (for more details see The Trophies chapter 15)

Ulysses Reeka giggled as he pointed the brush, dripping with multicolored goop, at the three heroes grouped below. "Doesn't my opinion count too? Well, I would suggest, Word Warlock, that you cast yourself off of this doomed city, thus avoiding far worse fates awaiting you and the rest of all who stand in the Massster's way."

Bob frowned, scrutinizing this curious, despicable man whom he had brought to life through words, but had never imagined would bring to life in reality. "What do you want?"

The mad scientist giggled again. "What do I want? I want the same things most villains want: power, revenge, dominion, wealth. But I want even more than that. I want innovation. I want to do things no one else has ever done, to immortalize my name on the face of this world and every other. I want to cast into oblivion the fools who think they can all control their little worlds, and to show how pathetic such attempts are. I want to see the old order burn as it makes room for a new order, a new age: the age of Crehavos." At this point, however, Reeka's smile became something most smiles weren't--it became scary.

Sovaherc stared calmly at the enemy. "You shouldn't have left your cage, impling." He concentrated his piercing emerald gaze at the diminutive figure.

But nothing happened. Reeka didn't explode, implode, disintegrate, or any combination of the three. He just continued to smile frighteningly at them. Then he giggled, and pointedly adjusted his diamond-framed spectacles. "You didn't think these were for nothing, did you, Crehavos-wannabe? No psychological mind tricks can touch this noggin!"

Then he continued his evil speech which had apparently been interrupted. "But above all, I want to have fun in the process, to make it worth the effort and more than just the generic ho-hum conquest. I'm going to destroy you, Bob Snicket, and am going to have a hell of a time doing it...no pun intended!"

With a move as quick as the lightning it produced, the evil book character activated his watch, and a jet of flashing blue lightning sped toward the gaping 16-year-old.

Bob didn't know what was happening; it all went by so fast. Sovaherc inexplicably vanished. A green blur hurled itself in front of him, taking the blow in his place. Yoshi cried out depairingly in that way which makes you want to cry, and collapsed motionlessly in front of his best friend.

"Yoshi!" Snicket yelled. He knelt down and touched his old companion's head gently.

Meanwhile, Reeka simply resumed his giggling. "Heh-heh-heh! The dinosaur's sacrifice won't help you this time, Word Warlock!" He pressed the button on his watch.

...but all that came out was a pathetic little jolt, and then the watch's circuit burst, and a small trail of smoke rose up from it.

Reeka stomped his foot on the top of the gleaming ship, denting it considerably. "Grrrr...." He activated the hidden jetback beneath his lab coat, and hovered down to Snicket and Yoshi.

He smacked Bob down with the side of the magic brush, swiped it across the air, creating a small portal, and grasped the unconscious Yoshi. Snicket was too shocked to do anything.

"Your friend just made your demise a lot more painful," he hissed. "There's only one place this story, and the story of your organization, will end, and that's in the place where it all started: in Hell itself. If you want to see Yoshi before I make him into a monssster, then come there to my lab...if you dare! Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh!"

The demented man fled through the portal, dragging Yoshi through, giggling insanely all the way. Bob Snicket was left aghast. Aghast at what had happened, aghast at the demonic assault on Skytown, aghast that the character he had written played his part in real life better than the author could ever have written it, aghast that if he didn't go to the land of fire and brimstone soon, then his closest friend would be transformed into something that even the most creative mind didn't want to imagine.

OOC: I'm alittle confused on the storyline, how did the bad guyz already get in Skytown and ppl are already fighting?? So until then I gonna go on with Alica's part until I find out the full detailz.

Guarding the HQ, Genesis and the team begin talking. "Hmmm, the enemy hasn't made their move yet." Genesis said with suspicion. Voltage replied, "Prehaps their scared of our defense, I mean we do have the biggest defense here don't we?"

Infront of them light began to shine bright. Everyone began to defend theirselves of the sudden approach. Coming from the light was no other than Alica Yagami, their long lost ally.

"A....Alica!!!!", Reynal yelled. Alica looked straight at the team with her blurry eyes. Genesis was shocked as well and said, "It is her....she's alive." It really didn't interest Voltage nor Crush at all, since they didn't know her at all, but Voltage found something wierd about her. "Why does her pupils look so blank?", Voltage asked. Wolf thought the same thing. Abdol looked closely, analzying her, and warned the team,"That's not Alica." Everyone was confused, even Jonas. "Yeah it is, we're starin at her right?",Jonas asked. Abdol answered, "What were staring at is a lost soul, it may possess Alica's body, but who or what's controlling her is not in this world.

Alica sudden spoke and said, "All who opposess the true fate shall die!" Wolf laughed and said, "Hahaha, true fate, don't make me laugh." Alica responds to Wolf, "You find it a joke do you sub-human, face my power."

[Rai]
[Isle O' Hags - Near Jiggy Wiggy's Temple]

(OOC: I'm not gonna put music cuz that will take longer)

Rai stepped out of a portal. He was in front of Jiggy Wiggy's Temple. To his right was the entrance to Mayahem Temple. Behind him was a small hill leading to a large egg which holds Stop n' Swap. Rai entered the temple.

Inside, Rai was greeted by a large open room with an upraised jiggy-shaped section and a raised platform holding the almighty Jiggy Wiggy.

"Hello, Rai. I shall open the door to Mayahem Temple." The giant stated.

"Hello, Jiggy Wiggy, um, do you wish to joi the SSS in the battle against Crehavos?" Rai stumbled on his words.

"Only if you can prove yourself worthy, Rai. To do that is a simple task. Recruit or conquer any interfering factors. Return to me after Cloud Cuckoo Land and I shall determine what I shall do." the jiggy god extended his hand and a blast shot out of the jiggy-shaped platform. The door to Mayahem Temple opened. Rai bowed slightly and exited the temple. He looked at the limp bodies of the Gruntling and the Gruntydactyl. Without caring of the spontaneously dead characters, Rai entered Mayahem Temple.

MAYAHEM TEMPLE

Rai walked up the brief stone staircase and looked at the rotating Sput Sput and the wandering Moggie. Rai quickly snuck behind the Sput Sput. "Hey," he whispered, "Do you wish to join the SSS in the battle against Crehavos's Army?" The Sput Sput said nothing and only turned to Rai. When it was lined up, it shot a dart. Rai acted quick. He dodged the dart and broke the gem on its forehead. He then approached the Moggie. "Do you wish to join the SSS in the battle against Crehavos's Army?"

"Roaw!" the Moggie began. "One of Crehavos's men have killed our leader and all other Moggies, I will join you for sure."

"Great," Rai said. The Sput Sput began to turn again. "Quick, lets move outta here!" Rai and the Moggie rushed into the Tournament building. They entered the stadium and saw Four Stonies playing kickball. The Yellow Stony scored and the bell rung.

"Yellow Team wins!" The announcer said. The crowd clapped and the Stonies exited. Rai and the Moggie followed the Stonies.

"Stonies," Rai began, "Do you wish to join the SSS in the battle against Crehavos's Army?" The red looked at the others.

"Surely, we've been playing against our will to please our master, but your offer allows us to come with you. " Said the blue Stony. The red, yellow, and purple stonies nodded.

"Who's Your master?" Moggie asked.

"We don't normally speak his true name, but only his Name of the Mortals. We call him Nikoroto. Sounds Japanese, huh?" said the yellow stony.

"Hm, well, let's try to get out of here before he arrives." Rai said. The stonies nodded and waddled their way to the exit.

"Quick, this way!" the red stony called. The six quickly rushed out the door.

"STOP!" a deep voice echoed. "I did not give you permission to leave, stonies."

"Oh snap! Its Nikoroto!" exclaimed the purple stony.

"You guessed right my minions. Why would you ever wonder off with this SSS member?" the leader questioned.

"We were, um, just, uh, getting him outta here, boss." the blue stony stated.

"You know fairly well that i have the ability to read your minds, do you not?" the figure inquired.

"Yes, sir." the yellow stony muttered.

"Then why do you bother lying to me?" the leader slightly raised his voice.

"I... don't know sir," the blue stony replied with shame.

"I know you don't I?" Rai spoke. "Your DMM arent you?"

"You must be Rai?" DMM chuckled. "I would have killed you before if it wasn't for your wretched brother. But now, he isn't here to protect you. I can kill you...now!" DMM charged at Rai who quickly dodged. DMM saw the dodge comming and elbowed Rai's chest. "I can see everything you will do before you do it! I can read your mind and identify your strategy! You have been sentenced to death without your brother here to use the same tactic." Rai shot a bolt of lightning which was easily deflected.

"How do I kill him?" Rai asked the stonies.

"Well..."the red stony started.

"You can't." the Moggie interupted. "You get outta here is what you do." Rai ran but DMM easily caught up and punched his stomach. Rai stumbled back a bit but then recovered with a punch. It was caught and shoved aside.

"Where is your brother now?" DMM asked.

"Why would I tell you?" Rai questioned.

"Grunty's Lair, on the way to Tresure Trove Cove? Well, thats nice..." With that, DMM vanished.

"Dang, he's good." Moggie said. "Well, lets continure on."

"But my brother..." Rai mumbled. He looked up. "Right, lets get some more allies. The six scaled the steps of the temple and crossed the bridge to a grassy area. The cow was nowhere to be seen but the Globble swarm was still there. "Hello!" Rai called up to the swarm. "Do you wish to join the SSS in the battle against Crehavos's Army?"

"Surely," The Globble swarm said simultaniously with no arguement.

"Sweet..." Rai said. "That eveyone in this level?"

"Theres also the swamp bugs but their wild so dont worry about them." the swarm reported.

"Alrighty then! Off to Glitter Gulch Mine!" the group exited the level.

[Steele, Zel]
[Smash Planet, Ruins]


Steele could feel the foreign energy invading his body. He felt it directly attack his endocrine system, causing a release of melatonin prematurely. he was already drowsy. This needs to come off... Steele reached up to his forehead and flicked the gem on his band. The gem turned from glowing green to red. Steele un-clipped it on the back, and took it off.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ0fFgU22ls

Steele's heart almost popped out of his chest, as it gave one gigantic beat when the band was taken off. His pupils dilated to a small pupil, and soon there was nothing in his eyes, a pure white color. The look on his face was of uncertainty, like he was confused about what was going on. It was somewhat creepy. He let out a loud roar as a green and white light enveloped him "BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" he bellowed. He began to rise slightly into the air, as he screamed.

Zel could see the normally skinny and tall silhouette of Steele suddenly grow massive in size. His arms and legs buffed up, his chest and heck protruded up and out, and his hair shot out of his hair, and flopped about wildly.

This bulky Steele however, faded back into what he regularly looked like. When he stopped floating and the light cleared, Steele looked normal again. However, his arms and legs had a significant amount of muscle tone than before, and the commander's chest seemed bigger than normal. His legs seemed a bit more formed and stronger. "Hmm? What's this now?"

(In sync with the music) Steele said "Fight" He kicked off the ground with his legs and dashed towards Zel, slightly slower than usual. His wings, however were in and he was not using them. Zel crouched and sliched horizontally as Steele approached. Steele jumped off the ground and slammed his hand into Zel's throat. Zel couched a bit as Steele took him to the ground, slamming the ground a bit. Steele withdrew his hand and jumped away, as Zel clenched his neck as he jumped up. He shook off the blow, but was slightly hurt from the blow.

Zel smiled and diappeared from Steele's sight. He reappeared behind Steele and punched him in the small of the back. "Ough!" Steele grunted as he bend over backwards at the blow. Zel kicked out his feet and kicked him away, rolling on the ground.

When Steele stopped himself he examined Zel. What's going on... He's not moving any faster... am I just getting slower.... Steele drew his sword and held it in both hands. Small sparks of lightning came off the blade. "Sacred Sword Technique Number Three!!" Steele ran at Zel, aiming to slash him.

|| Kaimu, LGN; Skytown ||

Uninterested in all the action going around, Kaimu looked around with a bored expression. He hadn't been told to do anything, so he merely waited for someone to request his assistance. Laying on the ground humorously, with the sounds of battle and chaos filling the air, he sighed and looked up, to be greeted by a strange looking man. He seemed to be "very" interested in the surrounding sources of conflict, though Kaimu figured he was hesitating to figure out which battle he would jump into.

"Oi Oi! You wanna just relax and wait for this whole thing to blow over, Sir bud?" he replied, lighthearted and uncaring.

[OOC: And with this post you've offically been ditched Ghost]

I was.. scared. Shaking hard.. my body felt on fire and my ears were filled with the sounds of pain and agony, as if someone was being tortured next to me and I couldn't do anything to stop it. I heard a young, feminine voice screaming, "No! Stop!" repeatably, but I couldn't tell where it was coming from in the black and purple abyss.

W..was I going to die here? Would I never get mommy's acceptance? Had I finally hid for too long in the Aura, to be trapped in a neverending nightmare.. unable to starve or age, completely surrounded by screams and a never ending abyss? This was pure hell.. and for a moment I started crying again. Maybe I deserved this fate... maybe this was for disapointing mommy so much... a tool is supposed to be a tool. Mommy said that us dolls are supposed to live our lives as tools, nothing more. It wasn't about what was on the inside, our bodies made us who we are... I had pushed too much, living by heart and not doing my duty.. my purpose. I wished the gods for some kind of pain.. someway to punish myself. A piece of filth was all I was. I deserved this hell, this existance.

Suddenly, my world was filled with color again. Abruptly, I was completely surrounded by new scents, sights and sounds.. yet despite the fact that I felt I should be more shocked, I was feeling odd emotions. As if I had been placed in someone else's life as a spectator, only living and breathing as them. I was supposed to be here, I had walked into this room.

The room was lightly furnished with soft, fancy looking chairs next to small, dark wooden tables. The walls looked like a library of sorts, seemingly made of bookshelves that started at the floor and went all the way to the ceiling. The only break was in the far end of the large room, where a small fireplace burned, cracking softly in the quiet. Taking a few steps, I found myself in a strange green dress. It was very frilly and lacy, feminine to the extreme. The sleeves were large and round, formed in a puffy shape for show. The torso section almost felt like it was made of delicate lace itself, but resembled a corset of sorts. The skirt was the oddest thing, almost resembling a ballerina's tutu than a dress skirt. It stopped above my waist, separated by the corset top with a large darker green bow. It burst out left and right, ending barely below my waist, and while I couldn't see from this angle, the chill air was telling me that I was on show. My shoes were black but with a hint of green to match the rest of the dress, as if the shoes were touched by the outfit and had stolen it tones. They were Mary Janes and clanked softly as I walked.

Which I continued to do, but I felt like it was still somehow MY idea. It was really hurting my brain, I felt like I was making all these choices and doing them, yet I also felt like a spectator to it all. I was scared and wanted to cry but found myself unable to.. driven by some motive I couldn't yet guess, wondering if this was some sort of imagination land the gods were giving me to escape my hell.. or pretend I wasn't there.

I kept walking, when all of a sudden I felt a grip grab my shoulder, turning me around forcibly. "Doll! Get me a bottle of the old stuff, at least dated 50 years!" was what I heard in my ears, to be greeted by the face of a man. I had never seen this man before, but somewhere inside I felt as if I had seen this man a million times in my life.. as if he was more common that my own mother in my mind. His face was worn and unshaven, as if he had spent many nights awake hard at work.

I felt this.. feeling in me. I couldn't really tell what it was. I felt hot, sweaty.. and.. like something was rising in me.. like I was filling up with a kinda.. something. I was..

Confused... Lost... and.. Angry?..

|| Arietta, Nemeck, Ucria, Dart; Skytown ||

www.imeem.com/people/hx7FzW/music/EEgWv5Zr/yuki-kajiura-hepatica/

Nemeck had changed.. and in a moment, I wondered what could have happened. It seemed his thirst for battle was very real. As I was standing there, I felt a lust, a passion.. a purpose in the air. I realized now why I clinged to this man. He was wise, and he reminded me slightly of well.. myself, even though it wasn't noticeable to the untrained eye.

It was time. I was in her presence again, the woman that I vowed to have killed. Those judgmental eyes of her were etched in my memory. She looked at me and my small frame, and sexual clothing and just assumed she was some piece of filth. She dressed so.. vibrant and regal.. as if she thought she was some kinda princess. It pissed me off, she was such a little tool. I.. I couldn't stand it. She was dressed the way my father always dolled up his women.. I felt a pang.. she reminded me too much of him.

"I hope you didn't forget me." I said, speaking more to Ucria than the other man. It seemed some kind of gender separation was going on, and I was instantly drawn to the woman. Women annoyed me, and I knew why. I curled my small fingers nails long and painted black around my palm, forming a fist. Flexing it out, the magical energy of my magical enhanced sharpness showed easily. It added a 1-2 feet to my blows, giving me much more of a reach. I stared at them, and knew that they wouldn't be clean for long.

"Your blood will be stained on my hands, just you watch!"

{Skytown, Elysia}

Nemeck’s ghastly grin slowly dripped blood onto his pitch black robes, sending streams of silver flowing in intricate, icy patterns to the ground. The icy trails glistened ominously in the paling light, shimmering brilliantly as his cloak whipped around him in the wind. He chuckled lightly as Arietta spoke, his gaze turning to Ucria.

“Milady,” He said, nodding slightly, blood splattering onto the ground as he tilted his head. “A pleasure to see you again.” His words were slurred and sloppy, broken by the pool of blood in his mouth and his gnarled teeth, but his voice reverberated across their minds, cold and clear.

“I wish I could say the feeling was mutual.” Ucria responded sharply, her voice hard.

“Heh!” Nemeck turned his head to the side and spat a stream of blood into the wind, clearing his mouth slightly. “I trust that you found what you were looking for?”

“I don’t believe that is any of your concern, you withered pawn.”

“Withered am I?” Nemeck said quietly, his grin losing its amusement, but remaining splayed across his face regardless. “Did you never suspect that there was power to be gained by relinquishing your hold on eternal life? Did you ever think, in all your years, that there was a certain wisdom that could only be gained by feeling your body grow old and weak? By knowing that your death is now assured?”

“Such selfish reasoning.” Ucria hissed. “Even to gain these things, your methods are plain immoral. In all my years, I’ve never seen such a psychotic coven of villainous force.” Ucria shuddered involuntarily, as if chilled by the raging winds that flailed around them. “Disgusting creatures…”

“Foolish girl, you reek of hypocrisy. You cling to your vain youth and delusions, ignoring the lessons that such a life should have taught eons ago.”Nemeck snarled back.

“What? To replace my chosen path with such ruthless medieval methods? You fail to see reality from another’s eyes. You’re completely blinded by your own lust.”

“I would rather wallow in blindness,” Nemeck said coldly, “than live in the illusion you have created for yourself. Your chosen path has reached its end.”

The wind quieted, enveloping the four warriors in silence, the deep breath before the plunge. It was the hush of the crowd before the execution, the draw of breath before the sword stroke, the last quiet gasp before death. All around them, battle raged silently in the distance, the swirling clouds chaotic with battle and bloodshed, coloring the gray skies with flashes of yellow and red as explosions blossomed in rage.

Ucria’s eyes softened, and she gazed upon the old, cynical warrior with genuine sadness and compassion. “I pity you, Nemeck. Your whole existence has been warped by violence and selfish gain, you can’t comprehend the other glorious gifts this life has presented us. One I know you probably have never experienced…love.

Nemeck burst into harsh laughter, blood spraying from his mangled mouth. “Yes, look what love has done for the world.” He spread his arms, motioning to the raging battle around them. “Look at how it burns.” His grin widened again, the skin on his cheeks ripping completely apart into a horrific ear to ear tear. “Just think,” he hissed, “how differently everything might have been, how much suffering might have been avoided, had love not played across your heartstrings.”

“Perhaps,” Ucria said, resolve filling her voice. “but isn’t it you all whom feed off of dark emotion that brought about such tragedy? Everyone has both light and dark emotions inside them, what matters is which they act upon.” Ucria brandished her staff, done with the futile conversation. “Let us put aside our differences-we cannot change who we are. There are more pressing matters at the moment.” Her eyes flickered to Dartanian, who had remained silent throughout the ordeal. “I, wishing to save all within my power, and you, who wish to see my blood spill upon the ancient grounds of the chozo.”

Nemeck gave another small bow, blood now seeping onto his robes. “Nay, milady. It is not by my hand that your life will end.”

Ucria’s eyes narrowed in disgust. “Even so, your putrid thirst for bloodshed will be satisfied with my death…” She turned her gaze towards Arietta, who had been watching the exchange with malicious glee. “Even if it’s by the hand of this slutty whelp.”

Arietta’s eyes narrowed and she slowly scraped her magically enhanced claws together, sending sparks cascading onto the ground. “I’m used to foolish people judging my outside, hag. Don’t worry, it’ll make it all the sweeter to end your life.”

Nemeck turned his attention away from the developing cat fight and settled his eyes on Ucria’s taciturn companion, who stared stonily back. There would be no lengthy discussion with this one. “So many children wandering the battlefield now days…” He calmly turned his side to the boy and slowly walked away from the two females, dragging his screeching lance across the metal platform. Dartanian turned, and slowly followed him, distancing himself from Ucria. “Tell me, have you ever even killed someone before?” Nemeck asked, amused.

“More numbers than you would think.” The boy said coldly.

“Hah, perhaps you won’t be such a waste of time.” Nemeck laughed. “Don’t disappoint me.”

“Still your tongue, old fool. It’s time.”

Nemeck laughed again, feeding off the rising tension in the air. “Young people.”

[Zel, Steele]
[SSS HQ Ruins.]

Zel jumped out of the way of the falling metal blade. He then grabbed his staff and twirled it. As Steele drew closer to the Sage, Zel pounded the staff onto the forest floor. A great quake sent Steele to the ground. But to Zel's disbelief he was able to still stand. Before Zel could pump out another quake Steele grasped the wooden pole and began to swing it and Zel in a circular motion above its head. Zel sent a shocking spell through the staff. Steele's hand recieved the spell as Zel had hoped. Steele yelled in agony as the nerves in his body began to ache. He released the staff and its owner who went flying through the air. Zel hit a great tree and fell to the ground. This had certainly done damage to spinal cord of the commander. Steele now in the final minute of his consciousness was walking towards Zel. But, Zel repeled the evil traitor with a ray of light from the staff as he struggled to stand. When he finally got his feet Steele was now lying on the ground. His eyes slowly closing.

"You bastard." Steele breathed out as he went unconscious.

"Oh dont be sour." Zel said as he teleported himself back to the Hangar of the Skytown HQ.

[Skytown]

Zel arrived in the Head Quarters at 5:00 PM on the same day the fight began. He noticed that none of the tanks or cruisers were gone. He walked into the Outlander 5, his own personal ship, and got a quick X-ray. The x-ray revealed that Zel was in the proccess of healing the broken spinal disks and bones.

"Well I'll have to remember not to stick my Staff out like that again." he said to himself.

He walked out to join the battle where he was going to hopefully make a dent in Crehavos' forces.

Alica begins to charge into Genesis with her quick reflexes, and then tried an air kick on Genesis, but failed as Genesis blocked it with his arm. Suddenly Alica connected both her legs to Genesis's arm, reach of his biceps with her arms and tried to pull his arm. She attempted to pull a muscle on his arm, but Genesis froze his arm thereby making Alica slip off his arm. Reynal then jumped in the air with his fists engulfed with fire and blasts a ball of fire at Alica, but missed as she dodged. Unexpectedly Oakley trapped her in a big bubble, Alica struggled to get out.

"Get me out of this trap!!", Alica demanded. Genesis then wondered, "Errr, Alica who did this to you??".

OOC: MM, I don't think you'll have enough time to do a post for every single Banjo Kazooie/Tooie world. I would suggest either abridging it, have some of it happen in between the lines (if you get my meaning), or simply don't go to all of them.

[Skytown: Aurora Unit]

Sovaherc apparated into being, following the strong presence of power which he was sure would lead him to Crehavos. The Hell Lord's defeat was the only way to end this war, and he was the only one who could do it. This dimension was depending on him. And besides all that, Crehavos was a being of such tremendous evil such as he could not prevent every fiber of his being from aching for its downfall. It was as if the sole purpose for his existence was to rid this world of the great evil, which ran completely unmatched--until now.

But all that was left in the Aurora Unit were the ruins of various technological structures which had been smashed, obliterated, melted, or otherwised defaced. Sovaherc looked around, and found the gaping hole in the wall where Crehavos must have gone through.

Then came another signal to his keen, sensitive mind. The ones who he had just left were in grave trouble. And one of them had been taken to the land of damnation, from which his quarry hailed. Crehavos had left the premises and was pursuing another group, but Sovaherc knew it wouldn't take much for him to get the Emperor's attention. Then, remembering all the details of the world's situation which the Snicket boy had elaborated to him, he made a decision, vanishing once more.

********************************************

Bob sat dumbfounded on the floor of the hangar where Reeka had knocked him down when Sovaherc returned. The glorious, obsidian-skinned being came to him with urgency.

"It is time, Bob Snicket. I know of the danger that has befallen you and the green Yoshi. For long enough your SSS has played the defensive role, always trying only to fend off the enemy, fighting only to survive. Again I say to you, the time has come...the time to take the fight to the enemy. To the domain of demons, to Hell. Assist me, and I will at last bring peace to your kingdom, in time for you to save your friend as well."

As if dunked with cold water, Snicket snapped out of his state of shock, shook his head to get the electrons in his brain flowing again, and nodded at Sovaherc's words. He stood up, shakily at first, but regaining strength and stability as he did so. "Yes," he affirmed, "if we continue on like this, the SSS will be whittled down to nothing. It's now or never."

Sovaherc accompanied Bob as the boy approached Commander Cody who stood a ways off by Professor E. Gadd, who had been able to come out of the confines of Zel's ship at last. The man turned to Snicket as they drew near.

"Yes, Mr. Snicket?" Cody gave the Forumer his full attention. Gadd greeted Bob silently with a grin and a raised hand.

Snicket returned the professor's gesture. "Get all the available troops you have left. Find everyone who's not fighting. Gather everyone from other worlds who is already here. The time to assault Hell is come."

"Yes, sir," Cody replied dutifully. "Right away." He walked briskly off to execute Snicket's requests without question.

"Now then," Snicket continued thoughtfully, making his way out into the open air with Sovaherc at his side, "it would seem a means of getting there is in order. For a lot more individuals than usual..."

He found an open platform with plenty of space and directions from which soldiers and others could enter. Focusing the power bestowed upon him by Arceus, he narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly, concentrating on finding the delicate layer of dimensional fabric in the open air before them, and separating it at precisely the right slice so as to open a passage to the correct location.

He found it, and used his mind to peel the slice away from the air, exposing a corner of Hell above the area in front of them. Then, progressing further, the gap became larger and larger, greater than any portal Bob had opened previously. It grew and grew, until it finally maxed out at the size of a 2-story building, Snicket's capacity reached. He let out an exhausted breath, energy drained from the strenuous effort.

The huge dimensional hole before them looked into a truly gloomy world: a world of magma and brimstone and gloomy green light and darkness and, most of all, a huge, towering castle. From their view into Hell, they could see it extended many stories upward, standing as a visual representation of Crehavos's cruel, imposing power. It led right into the outcropping of rocky cliffs outlooking this fortress known as Fallen Angel Castle, only separated from it by a rocky bridge across a lake of boiling lava. A place where things were meant to end.

Bob Snicket looked over and up to Sovaherc, whose inexpressably noble green eyes shone with encouragement and strength. Then, when an interesting idea popped into the writer's mind, the polar opposite, seeing the thought as clearly as if he had spoken it, understood immediately.

"Hmmm...." Sovaherc considered, arms folded. "...yes...I like it. You have quite the imagination, young human. I am impressed. We shall do it."

Nodding, Snicket raised his Illusionist's gloves.

Genesis and the crew enters inside the ship, Falco then got up just to see that they caught one of their "lost" allies Alica Yagami. "What the...who's she?", Falco asked. Genesis answered, "She's another Super Human just like us, Number 6: The Light of Judgement...but somethings wrong with her." Abdol stepped forward and told Genesis, "Number 7, allow me, Slippy, and Oakley bring her to the room downstairs, I'm sure we can find the situation of this problem." Genesis nodded his head as they went downstairs. Neni then approached Genesis and asked, "Alexander could this maybe be the work of Crehavos?". Before Genesis could answer, Reynal interrupted the two and yelled, "If it is he's gonna regret what he did to Alica." Reynal balled his fist up as flames began to engulf his hands and said, "Just hearing his name makes me wanna burn his face." Genesis shook his head.

Suddenly a red flash struck Genesis's head and he fainted to the ground. "Alexander!!", Neni yelled as she caught everyone's attention.

[Cell]

{Bowser's Castle}

The Koopa King's previous vexation had died down eminently, this child seemed to be little challenge for his superior stature. The boy could do nothing but flee from his Whirling Fortress technique, the oversized turtle catching glimpses of the evasive warrior's confused face; his booming cackle of entertainment echoing inside his shell. Oblivious to him, however, Kaemon had conjured up a plan to stop his thunderous power.

Barrelling to get behind the mighty king, Kaemon darted to Bowser's backside just at the right moment to snatch his tail. With sudden Herculean brawn, the warrior pulled the turtle to a screeching halt; earning a roar of fury from the once again aggrivated beast. Amidst the styling of our favorite plumber, Kaemon began whirling the Koopa King in circles by his tail, vicious snarls and screams escaping Bowser's slobbering mouth.

Kaemon was the one laughing now, even going as far to taunting the flabby creature with, "Round and round the beasty goes, should I stop, I'll break his nose!"

"PUT ME DOWN OR I'LL RIP OFF YOUR HEAD!!!" Bowser hollered with blinding rage.

The boy snickered, "If that's what you want..." Releasing his grip on the scaly appendage, Bowser's enourmous body sailed through the air, precisely toward's Peach's steel incarcerate in the ceiling veer. With a high pitched wail from the damsel in distress, a shatter of breaking metal erupted and rubble and dust scattered; clouding the chamber. While the distraction held, Kaemon rushed over to the "accident" damage; searching for the princess and praying that last act of imprudent behavior didn't harm her in the slightest.

And then he heard it. A muffled cry underneath a few slabs of fallen ceiling which he swiftly removed; unconvering a filthy, yet unharmed princess.

"Are you alright?" Kaemon asked, concern flooding his voice.

"I... think so." Peach mumbled.

He grabbed the princess' arm, helping her up to her feet. Then responded hurriedly with, "Quickly, hop on my back. I'm going to get you out of here." Peach did as she was told, and then they set off out of the window; running along the bridge as they heard the terrifying roars of a defeated king.

[Ucria, Arietta]

Lashing forth like a starving animal after her prey, Arietta stormed Ucria with unrelenting force. At first glance, it was assumed she would strike first with a physical attack, although, it seemed the imp was going to rely on a spell for her first onslaught. While soaring forth, her icy lips chanted, "Freezing cold winds, give form to water and send it at my enemy!"

At the exact moment when the incantation was completed, several glistening icy blocks formed in mid air and targeted the lovely Ucria. She chuckled lightly, the attack seemed almost playful. Gracefully, she leaped high into the heavens to avoid the assault when Arietta came dashing forth; nails glistening a translucent blood red.

"Not so fast, hag!" Arietta shrieked.

The maiden's eyes narrowed with malice, extending her staff to point at the incoming girl. "Maybe this will cool your rage, child."

The saphire tip of her golden staff began to emit an chilling aura, and as it began to shine brighter, the lovilian cried, "Glacial Aurora!"

Out shot a cerulean beam intended to be of graceful design, a near chimming sound ringing from the aurora, right towards the astonished, witchy girl.

*****************

[Dartainian, Nemeck]

The belligerent duo of conflicting paths were risen a estimable distance apart from one another, their eyes locked in what resembled an invisible strife; absent of brutal combat or stinging retorts. Both able to hark the intensifying battle between the two female fighters, large wind gusts fluttered across the platform; disengaging the mute war with its howls and begun chilling all to the bone.

Nemeck was the first to regain motion, drifting across the battlefield slowly to his youthful opponent. His lacerated mouth still dripping with gore as he continued chewings on his own, aged flesh. Dartainian shivered, his thirst for bloodshed, even his own blood, seemed to almost rival that of a vampire. The boy's impression was that Nemeck simply ached to watch it gush out of mortal veins, see it pollute where such taboo substance should not stain.

It was... inhuman.

"So, young warrior, I will grant you the honor of the first assault. Now... do not disappoint me." Nemeck slobbered, hard to understand, though his telepathic connection couldn't have been clearer.

Dartainian gave a miniscule grin, returning a respectful, yet laconic bow. "As you wish."

With quick footwork, the Silent Phantom leaped forth to his menacing opponent, yet instead of striking as Nemeck half-expected, the boy simply fell through the aged swordsman; transparent as the meanest ghost. Nemeck was baffled even for just a moment, turning to his rear at the sound of, "Behind you, clown."

However, it was too late. Dartainian had made contact with Nemeck's skull, grabbing it as he made himself solid once more. He was perfoming one of his signature techniques: the Mind Crush.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

{Skytown Exterior}

[Crehavos, Toran, Dobs, Eiron, Captain Falcon]

Crehavos hovered gracefully inside the demolished Aurora Unit Chamber, casually brushing his moon-light silver locks out of his malevolent eyes. His gorgeous, yet stern face broke into a rather haunting sneer, revealing luminous, perfect teeth; accompanied by an unknown pairing of lancinating fangs.

"Now... to pursue." the tyrant mumbled to himself, chuckling lightly whilst he soared to the heavens; obliterating the chamber ceiling as he went. This was rather amusing to him, he particularly enjoyed mediocre merriment.

In flight, he was survaying rooftops and the grounds, detecting no visual sign of his fickle prey. He only saw the faces of other SSS members as they watched in terror with his passing. With about a moment's worth of visual search, he grew bored and decided to cheat at this little game. However, his keen hearing immediately picked up a whistling call coming from the North. It appeared to be his soon-to-be casualties, waiting for death to sweep them away.

It always gave Crehavos a tingling sensation when he knew the victim's heartbeats were numbered. Beat by beat by beat...

Finally, he spotted a faint speck on one of the unique buildings, coming closer into view, he discovered that it was Dobs whom by he was summoned.

"Very clever having called me to your location." Crehavos said silkily.

"I thought I'd help you out a little." Dobs replied, snickering with inner glee at the surprise that awaited the Dark one.

The demon gave a polite smile to his prey, "How very gracious of you."

"No problem." Dobs spoke again. Now, though, his tone went to one more of curiousity when he spoke again. "You know, I wonder why you waste your energy chasing someone as insignificant as me while your little girlfriend is probably out there dying at this point···"

The boy had crossed the line. Dobs' cruel remark left Crehavos' demeanor bitterly cold. "Have you forgotten with whom you are speaking, boy? I have not, nor have ever found, any passion linked to Ucria Lerezé. Such emotions are for the feeble of heart."

"Oh really now? 'Cause that's not what I heard."

There was a pause, and the Dark Emperor's eyes narrowed greatly. "I'd still your tongue forthwith if I were you, Dobs Dortiem. This matter is not of your concern."

"Such big talk." Dobs said smugly.

"Foolish mortal··· you are only ensuring your own demise!" Crehavos snarled, his eyes flashing dangerous.

Dobs laughed heartily, shouting, "Oh yeah?! Well if I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go with a BANG! Now guys!"

Crehavos attention immediately locked onto the ceiling drop above, with a grumble of, "What now...?" rolling off of his lips. There in the opening ceiling hatch was the rest of this group's members, near a control panel that seemed to be linked to... a bomb?

"I hope this is to your liking, my lord." he heard Eiron say as he released the, what the tyrant detected, was a nuclear bomb. With only a second to sheild himself, Crehavos muttered a incantation as he drew up an translucent barrier; timed correctly to ignite at the moment of the violent explosion.

All senses seemed to be gone, there was no sight... no sound... nothing. Just a pure white void of total eradication.

It felt as though it were hours later when the explosion finally ceased, senses all returning at last in one, fell swoop. What was first salient was the enourmous crater that the blast had left in it's wake. The sky was black with smoke··· like a toxic nightfall. There was small flames left on the ground, buildings nearby had collapsed indefinitely, and everything seemed hazy.

Feeling victorious, Crehavos began his little announcement with his obvious survival. "I must say that I'm impressed... indeed. However, I've let you children have your fun long enough, my time with you has drawn to a close." He then saw their faces, whether they were horror-struck or flustered, he could not tell. "Farewell, Super Smash Saviors. I have decided to spare your lives... if only for a moment."

With his final word, he evaporated from sight.

Even if my empire shall perish, I will remain... supreme.

[Rorschach]

[Sour, Luigi]
[Entering Mushroom Kingdom, in ship]

As Sour flew into Mushroom Kingdom, he looked around the outskirts flying through Toadington. He stared at Madison's house until the small complex couldnt be seen. Sour looked over the desert noticing the Monty Moles digging away underground as what looked like a sandstorm was going to hit. As Luigi steered deeper into the mushroom Kingdom, the atmosphere grew darker, full of smoke and lava. Dry Bones wandered throughout the entire wasteland as its head fell off frequently. Sour looked around the vast land to witness a castle. There seemed to be a whole in its beautiful detailed castle walls. Sour looked around to see a boy sprinting while carrying a woman in a frilly pink dress on his back.

"Zoom in on that man!" Sour screamed.

Luigi zoomed in to see the man was Kaemon and he was holding...Peach! Luigi flew onto the bridge and opened the doors. Sour and out and screamed "GET IN!"

Suddenly, screams were being heard from the castle. Suddenly, Bowser jumped out making an unexpectedly loud bang. The bridge under him began to crack but it was still holding up steadily. Kaemon sprinted into the ship and as the door closed he could only witness bowser sliding over towards the ship.

"PUT IT ON HYPER GEAR OR SOMETHING, JUST GET US OUT OF HERE!" Sour exclaimed.

Luigi shifted the gears and manually steered the ship out into the air. As Kaemon looked out the window, he noticed Bowser standing there and suddenly he realized that Bowser had shot a boiling inferno at the ship.

"LEFT!"Kaemon shouted. "Steer LEFT!"

The ship maneuvered left as it barely avoided Bowsers lava blast.

As the ship moved higher into the air, the castle looked faint. Luigi nodded at Sour as the ship moved further and now into space. After a few minutes, the ship reached Rosalina's observatory still brimming with bright lights flashing at the ship. The ship landed and Sour walked up to Rosalina.

"Were ready to go, follow us," explained Sour.

Rosalina only walked away signaling she was going to steer her observatory and follow the group. As they flew further and further, the little planet that looked like the Mushroom Kingdom had looked like a faint dot. Luigi set the ship to Hyperspeed autopilot and set the coordinates to Skytown, Elysia.

As the group rested and Sour got a bite to eat, Kaemon went off to bed to have a 5 minute nap. Luigi tugged his mustache trying to keep it straight as usual and Sour was eating what had looked like a sub. Behind the ship, Rosalina was close behind. Soon, the gang arrived out of hyperspace to see a planet.



the ship flew in to notice that things were different from the first time Sour went to Elysia. He noticed many tanks scattered across the area and he witnessed troops marched along in lines awaiting instructions from their leader. Sour wondered if they were in Skytown until they reached the base. The ship landed as Sour walked into the base. Rosalina's observatory floated behind.

"If you need an extra place to stay or a hideout, I will look out for people in space," Rosalina communicated through Sours mind.

Sour nodded as the observatory moved upward out of Sour's sight. Sour walked into headquarters and said "Hey guys, what did I miss?"

OOC: If my post seems godmodded, tell me and i'll change it as much as I can...I just needed to get back to Skytown so sorry if I broke any rules.
