This man, I felt this anger for him. A emotion I had never felt before.. but the strangest thing was exactly how I was feeling it. I was not feeling it entirely as if it was my own.. it was like I was receiving someone else's emotions somehow... and then, words came out of my mouth.. and while I felt like I was saying them, at the same time, I didn't think them or say them on purpose.

"How about you do something for yourself for once, you lazy fat b*****d!", and suddenly the expression on the mans face matched my own inner expression, shock, disbelief, confusion... The same thoughts must be going on in our minds, "What did I just say!?" "I mean.. I wasn't like this, this wasn't me!" "I'm nothing but a doll, why was I acting out to this master?" "I'm going to be in so much trouble." and after thinking this, his hand came across my face, slapping me hard. I fell on the floor, and suddenly, I couldn't help it anymore. I started to cry, and for the first time I actually felt like I had control over the body as if it was my own, not something borrowed.

"I'm so sorry Master. I'm so sorry, please don't hurt me... please don't hurt me.." I cried. looking on the floor, trying to repent as many times as it was needed. I was looking for forgiveness for my actions in life, and here was going to say such horrible things? Suddenly, I felt his hand grab the front of my dress, and with as much strength as he could muster, he picked up my small frame, bringing me up eye level with him. My eyes were tear filled and full of terror, at the possible punishments this man would give me.

But instead, he looked straight at me and spoke, "Good girl Arietta. Your always were such a quick little learner.." and with this, he brought me up to him, forcing me into a kiss. Suddenly, the feeling of someone else's anger rose from within my heart again, as if they were watching what I was doing and was horrible displeased. I didn't understand why they should be, and returned his clumsy kiss. Arietta, I thought... mother? Why was he calling me mother's name? He then threw me on the ground hard and I felt a sharp pain from this.. which confused me slightly, it normally took much more to effect me than that. My body, if it was possible, felt more frail and more small, noticing my confusion and shock he started laughing outloud. "Well, it's no matter. Your little brattish display reminded me that I better not drink when our special guests are going to arrive soon. I've told them of your special talents, dear girl.. and you would be best to serve them like you would your "Master" " and with this, he turned around, and left the study like room we were both occupying, leaving my small frame tear soaked and on the floor.

"Your pathetic, you know that! I'm so glad I'm to be rid of you, you pathetic excuse for a person. I hate you!" suddenly rang in my ears.. literally in my ears, as if I was speaking to myself. Suddenly, I didn't feel alone in my body anymore.. there was someone else here, the person who must have spoken those words and walked me in this room previously.

She spoke again, her voice.. so recognizable in my ears, but I almost didn't want to believe it. Mom? ]"It won't be much longer. your already splitting from me. That which makes me weak, that which makes me his slave.. nothing more than a dog begging for scraps. A hate you more than I hate the man himself, and soon, soon you will be gone from me forever." I.. shook my head. This sounded like my mother in so many ways, but this couldn't be her. This girl was apart of me. She was the part of me I didn't need, the part that decided she could do what she wanted.. I had to get her to understand that. We were, tools. Why was she speaking out against this Master? Why was she doing something so foolish as to pretend that she wasn't who she was.. she was on my level.. so I felt brave enough to say it. "That is foolish.. we are weak.. we belong to him. Just give in.."I said softly, trying to get her to be calm and rational. But all I felt was the anger rise within me again.. and suddenly I was pushed out of control again, suddenly a passenger on the oddest ride of my life.


|| Arietta, Ucria; Skytown ||

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

The rush of battle, how delicious it was. Me and this woman, face to face in a conquest of who is stronger, the raw power of us both put to the test in such a bloody, beautiful display. I licked my lips and I cast my ice arrows upon her. They were weak yes, but this woman was one I was sure was easily going to be fooled by her own haughty attitude. She thought she was so much better than me, and she would fight thinking that.. and then in one quick moment.. she would fall. And I will from her the red hot flavor of victory and she can stay alive long enough to finally see who indeed is the superior one.

She sent along a beam of strange light, and I continued to put on a good show for her. Faking deep surprise, I even fake cursed, "Damn you, you worthless old woman!" Staying still, I let the beam strike me, flying backwards. It hurt, I gave the woman that.. I felt a pain all around me, and blood was dripping from my mouth. Standing up slowly, I noticed my clothing hadn't fared as well as my body was, tattered and torn, ripped barely standing. The looseness of it was distracting so I tore it from my frame, became as fresh as a baby new born,, and I it could only help the illusion I wanted to portray for my foe.

So, tearing it off, I stood in front of her. The fierce cold winds were rushing through my small and delicate body, but I stood up to them. I was Arietta, the Dark Angel, no matter my size, the wind, this woman, not even Crehavos himself could stand up to me in the end. The feelings of battle were filling me up with such happy pride, and I wanted her to do more. Hit me with more, Ucria. Feel confident, feel victorious. Be disgusted with me, look upon me like I was trash you found sitting on your doorstep. Continue to become my father in my heart and mind, and I can relieve the best day of my life. My body became to tremble, tears filling my eyes. and dripping slowly, mingling with the red liquid already stained on me. Keep going Ucria..

Your death will be that much sweeter.

[Skytown]

As Bob Snicket was about to venture through the gaping portal to the land of fire and brimstone, the honorable General Zel called out to him, stopping him from stepping through. He turned to the SSS leader. "Yes, General?" he asked hurriedly.

"Bob Snicket," Zel said with force, "good luck in there...well, down there...but I came to inform you that my forces will not be following you quite yet, if that is acceptable."

Snicket nodded, still in a rush. "That's fine. Just come when you can and your troops are ready." He gave a salute. "Good luck to you as well, General." And with that, he passed through, one glove white and the other black.

[Hell]

www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01558/

Sovaherc hovered across the dark, ashen plains of Hell, his new guise concealing him perfectly. The eerie green moon shone in the saturated twilight of the cinder-speckled sky. None of the small lesser demons questioned him or stood in his way; rather, they scurried to either side fearfully to create a path for him. For thanks to Bob Snicket's rather impressive thinking, and thanks to those Illusionist's Gloves of his, this opposite no longer looked like an opposite. His hair was the lighter, silvery gray of his inverted self Crehavos. His cape was a vicious black rather than bright white. His skin was no longer as dark as the depths of space, but a pale, light hue which concealed his positive aura. And finally, the previously emerald green eyes were now cold, blood red, showing no sign of goodness, no sign of mercy, no sign of Sovaherc. He was now Crehavos, returning to his own domain in a fury: an ingenious disguise, to be sure.

So, unhindered by those who would be his enemies, albeit weak ones, the great being sped toward the lava lake, intent on his mission to be achieved within the deepest dungeons and tallest towers of one place: Fallen Angel Castle. So motivated, so determined in his quest, he felt that even if the little demons didn't appear to be his subjects and had tried to stand in his way, it would have made little difference. But where it would make a difference would be at the castle gate.

Once he freed the prisoners locked away below the perditious fortress, he would ascend to the top of the structure, to the throne room, where he would await Crehavos's return. Then the end would surely come. And it was his charge to ensure the ending was a happy one. A charge which he, Sovaherc, was surprisingly willing to accept, considering he did not even belong to this universe. Yet he felt a deep bond with these lands, one as deep-rooted as that with his own. And being a man of pure goodness and righteous power, he somehow felt that it had always been his duty--and his destiny--to face his only true equal. The nemesis who had managed to bring as much evil into this world as he had brought good into his. Crehavos.

The name seemed to slide down his tongue without him iterating it, ending with a vile hiss which had been structured for the sole purpose of instilling fear within those who spoke it. Like Voldemort.

And before he knew it, there he was: the Gates of Hell. He recalled a Biblical passage from the sixteenth chapter of Matthew:

And upon this rock I will build my church. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against it...

"Open," he commanded the demonic guards with the exact tone of Crehavos.

Sovaherc didn't know about a church. Perhaps that was the SSS. Perhaps it was all who stood for the cause of good. But one thing he knew for sure.

He was that rock.

[ Abandoned City - Rooftop of Building ]
[ Ronji Crimson, Enryu ]

OOC: Yea I've been away for awhile so...yea I'm back now. Anyways I have no idea whats been going on in the RP, but all I want is to join the ranks of evil. If anyone wants to recruit me I'll been in the abandoned city on the rooftop.


After the commotion in GreenHell, Ronji figured he needed to hide somewhere else so he escaped to the Abandoned City. He stood on the rooftop of a building looking up at the sky as thunder was clapping. He wondered what happened to Ruby, but he no longer cared.

[ManOfSteele]

[Steele]

Steele awoke in a rusty old prison cell that he had been placed in after Zel unfairly used some sort of sleeping spell on him. "What.. Uggg.." he rubbed his eyes. The cell was poorly lit, there was simply a flickering light bulb on the ceiling, and the light coming in from a window down the hall. "A cell? I like he thinks that can hold anyone these days."

Steele wrapped himself in his cape, and teleported back to Skytown.

[Skytown]

When he appeared, it seemed unusually quiet. Even though there were a few scruffles here and there, it seemed drearily quiet. Then out of nowhere, it happened. Steele turned his head to a tall, unique building, where he could sense Crehavos, and two SSS members faintly.

A flash of white light blinded Steele for a moment. He was blinded when he heard it.

KA-BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Steele was knocked back by the force of what seemed like a hurricane into a wall, as though he was a feather in a harsh storm. He tried to open his eyes from the light, he could see a mushroom cloud rising from the building. What the hell? A nuclear bomb? Here?

Suddenly, light flashed before his eyes, but not from the bomb, from his own consciousness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Steele saw a mushroom cloud rising from the window.

The light flashed again, and he saw his pocket watch spinning like crazy.

The light flashed again, and he saw a black haired girl with bruises all over her face and body. "You've got to get this off of me!" She ran away about 30 feet from him, and she exploded. A squirt of blood splashed onto Steele's nose.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Steele woke up, his hearing not working at all, and his vision blurred. His feet were shaking like crazy. He felt his head and there was scarlet blood on his hands after he felt the back of his head. Though he could not hear himself, he mouthed out the words. "Dammit..."

Be blacked out.

[Nemeck, Dartanian]
{Skytown}

www.imeem.com/jimmypiranha/music/UYrZV4rc/motoi-sakuraba-last-moment-of-the-wicked-way/

Dartanian gripped the back of Nemeck’s skull as he unleashed his attack, forcing his own consciousness into his opponent’s and applying a devastating wave of psychological pressure against Nemeck’s mind. To his shock, the aged warrior’s mental defenses crumbled without resistance, caving inward and drawing the young boy’s mind along into the darkness. For a moment, it seemed that Nemeck’s hardened outer exterior was nothing but an empty shell, housing only hollow threats and echoing rage. But that emptiness was like a vacuum, a sunless pit of nightmares and dread, sucking the very light from the world. With horror, Dartanian watched as a shadow, darker than black, spread like icy ink across his vision, blotting out the swirling clouds of Elysia. He tried to remove his hand from Nemeck’s skull, but could not. Slowly, his senses dimmed, and he descended into the night of his opponent’s mind.

All was dark. All was cold. All was empty. Dartanian floated through a deathly void, completely alone. Skytown was gone, along with the Lady Ucria and the girl. Nemeck was nowhere to be seen, apparently absent from his own mind. But then, he felt something. A presence, the retreating consciousness that he had just tried to destroy, flickering in the darkness. A low chuckle reverberated through the void, sending shivers down the young man’s spine. Suddenly, another presence emerged, another mind, adding another low laugh. And then another, and another, and another still, raising the volume and fervor of the laughter like flames, licking at Dartanian’s mind. A single red light appeared in the distance, slowly growing stronger as the chuckles turned to dark laughter, and then rose to cackling screeches. The light grew, like a terrible red eye emerging from the shadows, its gaze omnipotent and awesome. Cold, clawed hands grasped at Dartanian in the darkness, drawing him ever closer to the growing red eye. No… he thought, breaking out of his trance. It will take… The hands gripped harder, tearing at him, pulling him towards the blazing eye as laughter screeched all around, merging into a single hellish wail.

MORE THAN THIS!

www.imeem.com/people/cSxurt/music/i8a7VSs5/na-batman-begins/

Dartanian opened his eyes and tore his hand away from Nemeck, staggering backwards slightly. He stared at the dark figure before him, unsure of exactly what had just happened. He had returned to the swirling skies of Elysia, far from the cold, dark world of his opponent’s thoughts. Nemeck chuckled softly, and slowly turned to face the boy. “That was a potent attack…” he mused, his voice suddenly clear and defined, despite his mutilated face. “But the mind is a dangerous place to wander.”

Suddenly, the clouds parted, revealing thousands upon thousands of stars. “The mind is its own place,” he said, drawing his lance. “Of and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell…” The stars above slowly began to fall, streaking downwards in long fiery trails, cascading around the floating towers of Elysia. “And a Hell of Heaven!”

Black wings burst from Nemeck’s back as he brandished his lance. As the stars fell around them, Nemeck charged, his lance screaming as it raked across the metal platform, sending sparks raining upward in brilliant streaks of fire. His clawed feet slammed into the ground, and he spun his lance around him, twirling and spinning in a blazing dance of steel and twisted aura. Dartanian stepped calmly back, dodging the arcing sweeps and thrusts, ducking and weaving under the deathblows. Nemeck spun again, bringing the blunt hilt of the lance thrusting upward towards the boy’s gut. With a grin, Dartanian simply entered his ghostlike Transparent state, waiting for the blow to pass harmlessly through him. However, the grin was replaced with a sharp gasp of pain as a burst of spiritual pressure sent him flying back into the wall of the spire. He leapt to his feet only to have his entire field of vision filled by Nemeck’s swirling robes as he slashed down again, slicing through the wall above Dartanian’s head. The boy dove to the side, unleashing a volley of Shadow Balls, which exploded against the ancient warrior’s side. Dark flames enveloped Nemeck, purple tongues of fire roaring across his cloak, blanketing him in shadowy fumes.

Nemeck rose slowly, unflinching. He began to walk calmly towards his prey, his robes smoldering. As his skin burned. As the whole world burned.

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

There was a flash of light, and the four heroes toppled in a tangled heap onto a cold metal platform across Skytown. They lay for a moment, staring up at the ashen sky and feeling the incredible rush of being alive, of staring a demon king in the face, of throwing nuclear bombs at said demon king, and of surviving such an encounter. They were still for a moment, all realizing how wonderful it was to be alive. “Hey Toran?” Falcon asked.

“Yes?” The robot answered slowly, as if his circuits were slightly fried.

“Get off my face.”

With a heave, they disentangled themselves and stood, observing their handy work in the distance. An orange glow hung over the skies, and pitch black smoke rose from many of Skytown’s magnificent spires. They were silent, staring listlessly at the incredible devastation they had just wrought. “That,” Dobs said, “was awesome.” They all burst out into laughter, except for Toran. His house had just been blown up.

“Yes,” Falcon agreed, laughing, “That was awesome.”

Eiron stretched, giving Dobs a sidelong grin. “Don’t make me teleport us out of something like that again. Ever.”

Dobs reached over and gave Eiron a pat on the back. “No promises.”

“And you wonder why I spent ten years avoiding you.” Eiron said, teasing. Suddenly, his grin disappeared. A tingling sensation splayed across his mind, some familiar, malevolent presence that he had banished from his memory. It was the signal to return his memories. He removed his gauntlet and pressed his fingers firmly against the joint of his skull and spinal column and reconnected his severed synapses, instantly regaining his memories.

“Eiron?” Dobs asked, his smile fading. “Are you alright?”

Eiron stared blankly at the smoldering Elysian towers, his face pale. “Nemeck…”

[Big Boss]

[Kin, Snake]
[on route to hell]

It may seem that the SSS leader Kin was sitting there twiddling his thumbs waiting for everyone to gather near him, but before anyone could meet up, there was a swift change in plans for the SSS, the base was falling, and was fixed, Zel was taking over the battlefield, and where was Kin? He was busy getting lost in skytown. But Now thanks to Snake, they found an old ship in the hangar and followed Snicket to hell, a different route, but to the same place.

"*cough* Kid, this thing isnt gonna hold us!" said a worried Snake, the old rusty cruiser looked about 200 years old. "Well if we dont make it, at least we died trying." Kin said as he held on to his seat, they were traveling up to 3000mph, and rising. traveling through space, they could see the smash portal that snicket had opened up, it was big enough to get there ship into it.

[Evil Kin, Kin, Snake]

With a flash of Gold, Evil Kin was on trail of the ship, following as the silver serpent sky dived. "Time is almost up!" He thought to himself. Back on the Ship Kin grabbed his Smash orb. "Kin to Snicket, we are on route to hell, I will meet you there and assist you!" he put down his Orb and looked over at Snake, his eyes were getting duller, his body was weaker, he was deteriorating and dozing off. "Hey!, snap out of it!" Kin barked to keep his friend in combat ready state of mind. "Kid, im old its what happens." Snake said back to him. "Dont worry, when all this is done im going to find a way to reverse all of your aging and you will be back to normal!" Kin said as the light of the portal got brighter and brighter.

Evil Kin had gotten a hold of the ship and crawled on top of the roof near the front window. "Surprise!" he said as he frightened the two. "WHAT THE!?" Kin said. The Ship had gone through the portal and now they were in Hell about 90000 feet above it. "Come out and play!" Evil Kin said as he opened the latch, looking at Snake and Kin. "Kid, ill take over..you fight him!" As Snake struggled to get to Kins seat. "Under the authority of the SSS, i place you Silver serpent under arrest for crimes against the planet!" Kin yelled as he pulled himself up from the latch. "Yea yea yea, crimes against humanity, killing thousands and destruction to a world that i care not for, Im innocent, to be honest i havent killed anyone while working for crehavos, in all honesty i hate the hell out of the bastard." Evil Kin said with his sword out. Kin was shocked at his words, he knew he was telling the truth, Evil Kin was never one to lie. "Then why do you work for him!?" Kin questioned as the ship was getting lower. "I was forced, but lets say Id rather work for the evil side, its more fun, and that castle is amazing, you should look into it sometime, but anyway." Evil Kin pointed his sword at Kin. "Ive been saving this fight for a loong time, a loong time ago I was in a fight with Geo, remember him? Well I was so close to the end then out of no where you come in and ruin everything." He said. "That was a long time ago Serpent, I was a young kid, you were in my body!" Kin barked. "No Matter, there is room for only one Kin here, prepare for your final moments!" Evil Kin said as he teleported behind Kin, putting him in a headlock.

Kin simply grabbed his arm and twisted out of it, and spinning the serpent down to the rusty metal of the falling ship. "I Know how to fight Serpent, this wont be easy for you" Kin said. Evil Kin rolled backwards and kicked Kin in the face, knocking him back a bit, near the edge of the ship. "Oh....that's too close for comfort" Kin thought. "Times up!" Evil Kin said swinging his Devesian sword around. He tried to stab Kin but Kin used his feet on the flat side of the sword and used it to leverage himself up and punched Evil Kin in the face, he teleported back and threw a few Gold energy balls at Kin, one hit.

The Ship was gaining momentum, the heat of hell was rising. "Ughhh, I hate your new fighting style, its soo unpredictable...and hey Since when did you get an eyepatch?" Evil Kin smiled as he got his ground. "Long story" Kin replied as he took out his sword. Evil Kin pointed his devesian at kin...it looked like time had frozen, the look on his face and the sound of the ship. He threw the sword off the ship. "Ill fight like you" Evil Kin said. Kin smilled a bit and did the same, threw his sword off as well.



{Hell}

The Greatest warrior to ever live was standing near the balcony, looking up at the sky, His Cuban Cigar burning in the sunset of hell. "My son, come to me I shall releive us both from this universe" with that, he went back in and grabbed his patriot.

[Hell: Reeka Laboratories]

www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01262/

Yoshi's eyes fluttered open. The world beyond his vision was all a blur to him as he tried to focus. He appeared to be lying down on his stomach upon a cold, metal surface, his limbs stretched out to either side. Dizziness swirled around inside his head, and a heavy fatigue seemed to press down on him like gravity.

He attempted to move, but could hardly budge. Something had fixed each of his limbs in place. He was too weak to struggle.

Then his vision cleared before him. The first thing his eyes beheld was a hulking, towering, beast-like mass of machinery. The room was fairly dark, but the bright artificial lighting was enough to make things out. It loomed above and around him like some type of technological behemoth, intent on falling in upon and smothering him. The metal by which it was constructed was a deep, modernized gray, almost black like obsidian. And glowing, whirring, and flashing all across its surfaces was a multitude of color-coded buttons, switches, levers, dials, screens, glass walls, and liquid-filled tubes. The monstrous machine seemed like a nightmare made real, something so terrible in scale that it was meant only to be kept as a figment of the imagination, never anything more. Something so detailed and complex that it seemed like the sort of thing Bob would describe in one of his stories. But here it was.

Yoshi now noticed in what position he was. Metal straps secured his hands and feet to a long, ominous table. And standing in front of him, facing away, was a short figure in a gray lab coat.

The Smasher made to yelp at the sight of Professor U. Reeka, but it was only then that he realized there was a muzzle strapped tightly to his mouth. He couldn't do so much as lick something with his lengthy tongue.

But his attempted movements had caught the mad scientist's attention. Turning around, Ulysses Reeka grinned, his sharp teeth scraping against each other. The two horrible diamond-lenses bore into Yoshi like a spider gazing upon its helpless prey.

The nearly-bald character took a step toward him, giggling. "Ah, you're awake. Just in time for the experiment."

Experiment?

Reeka went on. "Yesss. In a few minutesss, my invention will be warmed up and ready to...well...let's just say, after this, you'll feel like a whole new person." Giggling, he gestured to Yoshi's right before turning back to continue making final adjustments to the machine.

Yoshi swerved his eyes in the direction of the gesture. Enveloped in darkness so that he could not make much out, a caged figure was trapped upon a table similar to his own. It appeared to be asleep, no doubt by seduction, but he could hear deep, flaring, animal-like breathing coming from its nostrils.

A whole new person?

[Hell: Outside Fallen Angel Castle]

Bob Snicket ran as fast as his legs could carry him, concealed from the various demons around him by his Cloak of Invisibility. The ashen brimstone scraped against his boots, the eerie green moonlight blaring down on him even amidst this world's semi-darkness. As his heart raced, his breath accelerated, and his leg muscles burned, he took into account the increasing glow of red as he approached the lava lake, as well as the amplified heat which caused sweat to ripple down his soot-covered face.

The 16-year-old boy had never ran so hard in all his life. Never before had his old friend, his dearest companion Yoshi, been in such peril as this, and never had Snicket had a chance to repay him for the multiple occasions in which the gentle dinosaur had saved his own life. If it was the last thing he ever did, Bob knew that his first duty and loyalty was to his friend, even before the SSS. And besides, disposing of U. Reeka would be beneficial to both.

Mid-journey, a call came to his ears. It was from Kin. "Kin to Snicket, we are on route to hell, I will meet you there and assist you!"

"Thank you," was all Bob was able to get out, as out of breath as he was from running. He really was terribly out of shape, despite his thin body structure. If they ever survived through all this, he would make physical fitness a higher priority.

Snicket went on, forced to stop three times to catch his breath for a minute or so before pressing forward again. Truly, Hell was a fitting fate for the evil-doers of any world. But not Yoshi. When this generation had passed on, Bob saw Yoshi only as among the most glorious of angels, flying triumphantly amidst the clouds.

At long last, the great brimstone plain came to an end with the immensely steep cliff, descending into the boiling depths of the lava lake. Fallen Angel Castle towered indescribably before the writer's eyes, a fitting residence for the devil to reside. A long, winding bridge of brimstone trailed precariously downward toward the Gates of Hell, while another branched off to the left, leading to a lesser structure of black dimensions.

Unsure where Yoshi would be, Snicket took out his Compass of Desire, which had previously led them to Sovaherc's location in the Anti-Dimension. The arrow swiveled and pointed directly at the black building. That was where he would find Yoshi. That was where he would find Professor U. Reeka, his own creation.

Considering the steep drop and the lengthy nature of the brimstone bridge, Snicket opted to take a shortcut. He first activated his Anti-Gravity boots, causing them to glow with an electric-blue brilliance. Then, taking a deep breath, he stepped back, dashed forward, and lept toward the abysmal plummet which led only to red-orange incineration. Everything seemed to go into slow motion as his figure floated slowly across and downward in a descending path toward the black laboratory. Every speck of hot ash blowing past him, heating his face and neck, seemed to push against him, willing him to just drop and fall to his death.

The author descended gradually yet steadily as he neared his destination. For a time, it occurred to him that perhaps he had underestimated the jump, and he had leapt to his doom. But finally, his boots touched down a few feet past the edge of the brimstone spire upon which the laboratory stood. He gazed up at the black, circular windows, his brown hair blowing in the heat-driven currents, his cerulean eyes fixed and unyielding, his expression grim and determined. He was here, at the end of all things.

[Fallen Angel Castle: 1st Floor]

Sovaherc, still posing as Crehavos, sauntered casually down the long, torch-lit hallways. The guards had admitted him unsuspectingly, and he had faced no opposition before or since. He traversed the corridors of the hellish fortress until, at last, he found what he was looking for: stairs. Descending stairs.

He stepped down the winding flight steadily, making for the dungeons. He nodded at various guards as he passed by, demon or human. He even recognized some of the humans from famous Earth broadcasts: Judas Iscariot, a Nazi soldier, several lawyers, a number of Hollywood stars, and more.

When Sovaherc was admitted into the lowest levels, where Crehavos's high-status prisoners were held, he almost quailed at the horrendous stench that entered his nostrils. Imagine a giant pile of dog feces drenched in skunk spray, sprinkled with stink bombs, drizzled with rotten tomatoes, preserved for a hundred million years in a pickle jar, and then opened. Then multiply the strength of that smell by 42 and a half. That was how bad it smelled.

Looking down the two long rows of rusted metal doors, Sovaherc decided to use the most efficient method of releasing them, as the Snicket boy had asked. With a snap of his fingers, all of the doors fell inward and would have made a terrible racket if Sovaherc hadn't disintegrated them right before they touched the ground.

There was no uproar of cheering. The prisoners inside were too baffled and weakened to say anything; it was all they could do to push themselves off the musty ground of their cells and lift themselves out through the door openings. Sovaherc watched as dozens of noble figures came out from each side, filled with wonder and disbelief at their miraculous escape. Then they spotted Sovaherc, and, seeing Crehavos, froze in fear. Some that could be recognized included Sakurai, longtime master of the Dojo, the Triforce goddesses Din, Farore, and Nayru, Link, the Hero of Time, and Palutena, deity of Skyworld. But they were all very much wearied from their confinement, and could not be blamed for looking as if they were staring at death at the sight of their captor.

"Fear not," Sovaherc said, raising up his arms. He caused the illusion of Crehavos to be temporarily cast off from his person, so that all could see him for who he truly was. "I am here to free you, and to put an end to the reign of the dark Emperor. I will move you to a place where you may be safe..." But his voice trailed off at the sight of the last figure at the end of the dungeon: Palutena.

It was strange, for although Sovaherc was a being of pure goodness, of a righteous valiance and an incorruptible desire to accomplish the works of good, never before had his heart been touched in quite the way it was now. For even with the filth of imprisonment, Palutena seemed to glow with a distinguished beauty which he had never seen before, even in his own world. The flowing green hair, the elegant dress, the noble eyes...it was the first time Sovaherc had been surprised in a long, long time.

The entrancing goddess stepped toward him, appearing to marvel at his own appearance. "There is no need," she said. "I and the Heaven Society can take care of those here, now that we have been released." She continued to walk forward as she spoke until she stood directly in front of Sovaherc. "But thank you...what might your name be, sir?"

"I am Sovaherc," he said, stiff in such presence.

Palutena gave a gracious smile. "Thank you, Sovaherc. We are forever in your debt. May the fortune of the stars be with you as you face the Evil One." Her hand brushed against his arm for a moment, and then in an instant, Palutena and all the other prisoners had vanished in a flash of light.

Sovaherc was left in wonderment. A lady of such goodness and beauty he had never beheld. Even if it hadn't been worth it before, he was now more motivated than ever to defeat Crehavos. After a moment, he turned and began his ascent, taking on his disguise once more.

Before Genesis left to the exit, Voltage came up to him. "So you're going out there all alone?", Voltage asked. Genesis replied, "The SSS needs me too, I am an SSS member ya know." Voltage said,"Well I won't stop you...but what if your former allies know who you really are?" Genesis looked down for a minute thinking hard of the casualities. Genesis answered, "I'll take full responsibility, even if it means I have to fight...besides, you, Crush, Neni and Jonas got my back right?" Voltage answered back, ".....Don't take me too lightly, I may be helping you, but we still have a match to finish." Genesis replied, "I know....well I'm off." Voltage stopped Genesis for a sec and said, "Don't you die out there." Genesis nodded and jumped out the back exit of the ship.

Genesis hovered quite well in the air as if he enjoyed it. He then landed safely, but hard on the exterior of the base causing a medium-sized crater on the bottom of his feet.

Genesis looked and saw two people fighting, one was burned up badly. It was Nemeck and Dartanian. He didn't know what to do since it wasn't his battle. Suddenly his head began to spark again with red illusions again. It was obvious it was Dark Genesis trying to consume him again. "Damn it...you!, Genesis yelled as he struggled. Suddenly Dark Genesis's voiced echoed and said,"Its so much fun when I get to torture you like this all the time don't cha think Genesis hehehaha!"

Alica was still trapped inside Oakley's Bubble Trap, but this time she was floating inside unconsious. "Did you find anything Slippy?" Oakley asked. Slippy continued to analyze the lost soul Alica and then shouted out, "OooO my goodness!!"

"What is it Slippy?" Abdol asked. Slippy replied, "Its strange...there's not a single life sign inside her at all, its as if she's dead....but there's still energy surrounding her body." Abdol replied, "Just as I suspected, there is something controlling her body....we've already lost our partner." Oakley yelled, "Don't say that, there has to be a way we can free her?!" Abdol yelled back, "There's nothing left of her life signs in her body, she's already dead Oakley, what you're looking at is a remnant of Alica being controlled by magic!"

Suddenly an aura started to surround Alica's body causing great damage to the computers analyzing her. "AAHHH, her energy is increasing!!!", Slippy yelled. Oakley tried to keep Alica inside the Bubble Trap, but Alica's energy was too strong and suddenly blew the Bubble Trap up freeing herself. Abdol yelled, "Who are you?!" Alica looked back and then suddenly she teleported away. "Dammit, she got away!!", Abdol yelled.

Alica reappeared in the battle damaged Skytown and slowly landed gently on her two feet. Suddenly she came upon an unconsious man ( Steele ). She walked up to him and then leaned next to him. Alica slowly put her hand on Steele and suddenly light started to sparkle from her hand as it touched Steele. Steele's wounds began to disappear gradually and was healed. Suddenly Steele opened his eyes and saw the female stand up infront of him as she looked up at the twisted clouds. Alica then said, "I healed your wounds warrior."

[Grunty's Lair]

MM had the treasure box-shaped entrance in sight. 'Only seven more levels after this...' MM thought. He turned to his other 9 companions. "We ready to enter?"

"No, you aren't," a familiar voice cut in. DMM was to the groups left, standing on top of one of the random ships that don't even look like ships.

'Nikoroto!!' MM thought. "Err...What do you want?" he called.

"I want you to give up what you're trying to do... it won't work. Crehavos is far too powerful!" DMM laughed.

"Only those who believe they have no chance are those with the ability to succeed!" MM responded.

"Uh... what?" DMM asked.

"I dunno, just go on,"MM said.

"Fine. You shall not be able to continue!" DMM yelled. He created a ball of matter and disappeared. MM and the others looked around for a moment waiting for a sneak attack. Then the entire castle began to quake. Everything was collapsing.

"Holy crap! He attacked the heart of this building!" MM yelped.

"This building has a heart?" Bottles inquired.

"I don't know, let's just get out!" MM ran. The ceiling began collapsing first. The stalactites fell and nearly crushed the group many times. They had the portal in sight.

[Isle O' Hags]

Rai was walking towards Glitter Gulch Mine when the ground began shaking. Rai quickly radioed MM. "Whats going on? The ground is shaking!"

"The worlds are collapsing! Get out of there!" MM yelled then hung up. Rai ran back towards the portal and jumped through. He met MM on the other side and even Showdown Town was trembling. "To the ship! Go, go, GO!" They all ran to the ship. Rai pulled the ship up. The planet began to pull the ship downward. The planet was being sucked in.

"We aren't gonna make it!" Rai cried.

"We'll make it," MM calmly said. He acted as if he had no fear at the moment, yet he felt it inside. The planet had transformed into a black hole. The ship was being pulled back. The ship was pulled through.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[Skytown]

MM, Rai, and the Banjo-Kazooie crew lay on the floor in a small chamber. The ship was perfectly parked in the hangar. MM awoke. 'What the--' He gasped. The black hole was a portal. But was this intensional? Was this just luck? Where are they? All these questions races through MM's mind. The others woke up too.

"Skytown?" Rai said as he woke up. "How?"

"I---don't know." MM said. "But we need to get to the nearest general." They all nodded and left the chamber in search for an SSS member.

[Kin,Snake,Evil Kin]
{Hell}

"Ghuuuuuhhh" The Silver serpant spat out, ghasping for air. Kin had let out a blow to his chest knocking the wind out of the demi god. He was on one knee with his hand out motioning him to, "Hold on a sec......huh.....huh...." he breathed deep. Kin looked at the serpant, he smirked at the fact of the time out. "Hey, were loosing altitude, are we going to finish this?" Kin said with his hands on his hips. Evil Kin looked at his feet, he started to smile, showing his snake like teeth, his eyes glowed bright red and FLASH! He was gone, just a trail of black cloth started to burn away. The next moment he had appeared behind Kin, grabbing his arms, the serpant spun Kin around so he was facing him, he then put him in a headlock, and leaned backwards, BAM! Kins face was DDP'd into the metal of the falling 200 year old cruser. Kin spun around and wrapped his feet around Evil Kins Ankles. He pulled his legs back and tripped him down too, he quickly used his leg striength and pulled himself up then he leaned forward falling on top of Evil Kin, he took out his fist and SMACK!, direct hit to the face, he continued to punch him in the face, Evil Kin was getting mad, with a yell he unleashed a gold energy that lifted kin off of him violently and threw him back, almost hitting the edge.

"Your going to pay for that!" Evil Kin Yelled as he ran over to Kin and kicked him in the stomache while he was down. "COUGH, HACK....." Kin spat out while sweat was dripping down from his forehead. "Get Up!" Evil Kin pointed his palm at Kin, a small gold mist entrapped his hand and telepathicly lifting Kin to his feet. Kin was regaining his energy. "I dont want this to end so soon, dont you ant this fight to be epic?" The serpant said with a slight smirk. "Im..Im just warming up!" Kin softly spoke. Silver mist was gathering around him. "Ha!, Looks like you still have my old powers, Silver was a bland color anyway. "Eat Golden lead!" Evil Kin swiftly said, he blasted 5 gold energy orbs at him, Kin dodged two of them, he then used his silver energy to deflect the other two, and then he grabbed one of them, fusing the two energy balls together, one silver and one gold, he held it and jumped in the air towards the serpant, Evil Kin jumped up too, both airborne Kin threw the energy ball up in the air, the serpant was face to face to him, Kin Uppercutted Evil kin up to the energy ball, Direct hit! Kin landed back on the ship, he lost his balance and tripped, but landed on the roof. Evil Kin flew down harder, right on the glass, SMACK! He left a few cracks. "Keep it up Kid!" Snake yelled from the pilots control. Evil Kin was starting to slip a bit, slidding down the green glass. Kin did something strange, he carefully walked over, and walked on the glass near the beat down Evil Kin. He grabbed Him and caried him over his shoulder, it looked like something totaly out of MGS. "Why Did...you help me?" Evil Kin asked..regaining his vision. "Im not done and neither are you!" Kin said as he stepped back into a fighting stance. Evil Kin smirked again. "Why do you want me dead?" Kin asked. "Ive caused you enough misery as it is...the only way to end your pain is to take you out here!" He replied. Kin was confused. "That makes no sense!" Kin yelled back. If you somehow survive and I die...you will start to see that your just living a lie, the SSS, Crehavos. This has been done all before, good vs evil, but you will see for yourself that the good, can be just as bad as us!" he said. "Im an SSS leader! Im a proud fighter and Im dedicated to the only family I have!" Kin yelled back. "You will learn on your own, eventually your Dedicated SSS will be long forgotten, crumbiling like the world above you, You will be nothing, beleive me, death is the next best thing!" Evil Kin said.

The Ships altitude was now at 20000. The castle was now into veiw, a red grounf scatterd around it, no trees, just red rock. "Im not afraid of death, but If I die, You will live the rest of your evil days in a SSS prison, being sealed off from eternity." Kin said. "Who said Im going to live? Im already dead inside, working for Crehavos...no...I work for nobody!" Evil Kin barked, he then ripped off part of his reaper cloth, where it had the deamn family crest, now his robe was in shreds. "I am The Silver serpant!" I am My own faction Now!

Ronji walked around for a bit, bored, and looked around like the world was an end. Thunder clapped up the sky as the clouds were so gray."This is even more boring then the boredom that bored me at GreenHell." Enryu appeared infront of Ronji and said, "You can say that again....HEY LOOK OVER THERE!!".
Ronji looked to where Enryu was pointing and he saw a small spaceship. "What its a spaceship...and?", Ronji said. Enryu yelled, "Helloooo we can get the hell outta here and go to that...Skytown place everyone keep talkin about."

Ronji then said, "Heh, maybe will find Cammy there too....lets go." Ronji got on the spaceship and then flew off to Skytown.

[Steele, Dobs, Eiron, Falcon, Toran]
[Skytown]

Steele awoke abruptly. He couldn't see at all, his vision was hazy, and his ears were slightly ringing from the blast still. All he could see was a bright light emminating near his stomach. When his vision focused, he could make out a silhouette of what appeared to be a woman, and the light was coming from her.

"What the..." He mumbled. He could feel himself getting healed, many points on his body that were heated from radiation poisoning were fading away, and minor bumps and bruises were now gone. More over, his hurt stomach and leg were getting stronger and firmer again.

It was only a matter of minutes before all his wounds were healed, but he was still very weak from the attack. He closed his eyes again, and opened them up to see that the person had gone. He tried to stand up, wobbled a bit, and got up. He looked around to see the damage. A good portion of the town was completley not there anymore, while nearby buildings were simply torn in half.

He noticed four figures standing in a nearby tower. "Uhhhgggg..." without thinking he limped over to the tower to confront these people. He didn't want to fight, he wanted to know what happened. A nuclear bomb went off, and he was curious.

As he got closer he could make out Dobs, Eiron and Falcon. There was some other person he had never seen before, but he didn't care. He knew that Dobs and Eiron would know what's going on. As he got closer he shouted "What just happened?"

"Aaaaahhh!!" he screamed, his voice echoing throughout the rain, the wet drizzle, someone outside, which there was no one of, would have heard him.. but the people on the inside might not be able to.. yet... they couldn't hear his scream of terror. The old temple like building was approaching with such a speed, the wind rushing past him and splashing cold rainwater in his face. His fate was surely sealed.

Why had this happened again? Normally his cellphone just beeped loudly, but this time it appeared and teleported him, almost like when he originally appeared at Hyrule. This was too much, too much for the heroic Arcs Sheldart Elbayas. He was being pulled around by some larger force, some god bent on making his life miserable.

He luckily missed the mark directly, landing just on the outside of the temple in the mud, rain dripping on him slowly. The strange marble, shining glass building shining brilliant colored lights on his unmoving form. He twitched his wing, as if to make sure that everything wasn't broken.

After a moment he stood up feebily, to get a look of where he was. After rubbing the mud out of his eyes, he spoke "This place is dreary, do I always have to land beak down in some sort of mess.. whatever.." he looked, annoyance ringing in his voice. Despite the grand appearance of the building, he wasn't in the mood for a fancy outside, they usually had something to hide.

" I might be in the presence of some sort of mass evil." and with this, he lifted his feathered wings, trying to cast a bold spell to return him from whence he came, "Zantagala, terneila, lavitos!". His wing tips shined, but the no visible effects appeared. He groaned loudly at this revelation. Only the same wet ground, which normally should have contained a magic rune. "My magic is depleted again!?". He was left in a predictament. What was left to do, what was his choices?

"Things are looking dangerous, I can't escape, so I guess I'll have to tackle this head on!"

|| Arc-kun, Starprincess; Soul of Sanctuary||

What was this ominous feeling in his body? It was if all the world was.. going haywire. It was just as he felt when he was first transported into the land of Hyrule. He had to guess that things were going continue to be strange.. and he wondered if anything had changed other than that. Walking inside the temple himself, he got a goureougs view. How beautiful it was inside, but again.. this was not nessiciary a good thing. In his experience, the things with the beautiful outsides tend to lead to bad concequences to him.. and he remember his delicious imagination fondly, drooling slightly.

But.. enough was enough. He felt as if a great power was lurking in these stone walls, in this running river. There was a power in this building that shook his very core, and almost made him feel as if his very soul was on display. He was nervous to an extreme, and that's when it.. started.

His cellphone appeared suddenly as it always did. A stained glass ball of color suddenly materialized in midair, and then burst in a large shattering sound. He gulped at the thought of being transformed, but at least maybe if the Magi Mail stayed put, he could defend himself from the ominous force. It would start to ring any moment now.

[Drake Mitibuki]

Drake Mitibuki~
Soul Sanctuary


The day was cold but fine, the light
downpour complimented the blueish gray skies. The danger of these days was ever growing...never ceasing...

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

Desperate screams of a frightened victim. Dead victim. The cries were lulled by a red nectar that filled the throat...slowly the agonizing screams faded away.

Standing over the victim was a young man that looked like he was in his early 20's. He wore an open black velvet vest, with the sleeves cut off at the shoulder and elbow, with blood complimenting the dull black of the shirt.

His hair rough and ragged. His face sensitive white and stained red. That and his diamond crafted sword. The blood trickled off the blade of the sword and in front of Drake hovered, floated a light blue orb from his fallen prey.

His mouth gapped open, his movements sluggish and savage. He engulfed the whole soul in one bite. Little light blue liquid teased his taste buds as they dripped out his mouth instead of down his throat.

Moments later his head brandish into the air...

Pause.......

Sniff.....Sniff........sniff sniff

"Ahhhhh....." His voice was light and staggered, light and filled with pleasure. Another one?...tonight?

His tongue dropped hanging out of his mouth letting the scent bask on the base of his tongue...

Finally is closed, and without a warning...a lapse...a second to spare...He was gone. Vanished.

~~

In the chill of the day a...creature?...yeah had to be. Something running through the day so savagely couldn't be human. Its pace quickening as the potent aroma of sweet souls burned in the air. "Mhmmmmmmahhhhhhh" The beast said in a full sprint.

His body crouched closer to the ground and in a full bound leap he was off into the air. 1 tree, 2 tree...he was hopping from one to the other quickly and stealthily. Several birds escaped the trees in desperate fear.

Crack..Smack..Break..Shatter...

The sound of broken glass hitting furniture and hardwood floor was heard throughout the whole house coming from the upper room. There the savage entered. All of the noise he created finally came to a hush....Drake had arrived.
