Chapter 5: Eclipse of Sin

(OOC: ....WTH HAPPENED TO MY POST!?)

[Soul Sanctuary]
[Vladimir]

Vladimir was perfecting the bar, moving the furniture as he saw fit. He moved a wooden table, squeaking loudly while doing so. Satisfied with the position they were in he went behind the counter and poured a scotch for himself, a simple enjoyment of life's finer qualities.

CRASH!

Vladimir looked up, the sound of glass falling to the floor slowly dying down. Vladimir sighed, this was probably Star somehow relieving boredom. He got up and walked up the granite staircase, closing the wooden door behind him.

The hallway was huge, his steps echoing throughout the building. He was amazed, not even Star could make this all by herself. He pondered who could have made such a magnificent, awe-inspiring building. He went up some stairs, it's marble composition reflecting the moonlight that peeking through the clouds, the raindrops also reflecting the moonlight. When he arrived at the top of the staircase, he could tell, some sort of beast was beyond the door. He opened the door, seeing a human appearing to be about 20. Vladimir spoke.

"I am afraid you are trespassing on private property. What is your purpose here?"

[Skytown]
[Genesis, Nemeck, Dartanian, Alica, Voltage]


Voltage watched as Genesis battled Dark Genesis within the confounds of his mind. Dark Genesis again...I don't even know him and he is getting on my nerves.

He saw Alica float towards them both. He kept an eye on her at first, prepared for battle. She lifted her arm, and shot a brilliant flash of light at Genesis. Voltage dropped from his perch and did a drop kick, lightning following his foot. As soon as he hit the ground, lightning flashed upwards, blocking the light attack. "Genesis."

Genesis replied, though barely in a groan. "...What?"

Voltage smiled. "Make sure to give Dark Genesis a punch for me. I will take care of Alica."

[Skytown/SSS Defense Line - Commander's Ship]
[Abdol, Oakley, Slippy, Crush]

Crush watched as everyone argued over a girl in a bubble. Frankly, Crush did not like the girl very much. She was jealous that Alica got to be in a bubble and she did not. She wondered what it was like, floating inside a bubble. Suddenly, Alica started to glow, and she burst out of the bubble and left. Crush hopped over and pulled on Abdol's trousers a little.

"What now?"

(OOC: It would be greatly appreciated if no one interfered in the battle between Nemeck and Dartanian.)

[The Black Knight]
{Fallen Angel Castle, Hell}

The enigmatic warrior known only as the Black Knight calmly surveyed the Crehavos imposter enter the castle from the ramparts above. He knew the Snicket boy was also present, but his eyes could not detect him through the Word Warlock’s illusions. No matter. With a twirl of his cape, he retreated from the blistering heat and into the cooled air of the Hell Lord’s fortress, retrieving a small communicator from within his armor.

“I have confirmed Sovaherc’s presence in Hell.” He said, his voice muffled and masked by his helmet, adding a menace and mystery to his voice.

“Heh heh…Good.” Came the response. “You’ve selected a reliable worm for our use.”

“Crehavos has been inattentive. Setting the field has not been difficult.”

“Perhaps I can put you to better use then.” The gravelly voice replied, amusement lacing his words. The Knight was silent, a twinge of apprehension echoing through his body. “Tell me, who will rise from the ashes of this conflict? Do you foresee Crehavos falling to these vermin and their new hero?”

“I do.”

“Hah…then I have another task for you.”

[Ike, Micaiah, Sothe]
{Skytown}

Ike stepped calmly out into the hallway, into the demon’s line of sight. “Hehehe, there you are.” The beast cackled, licking his foul lips. “Finally stopped running?”

“No more running,” Ike replied stoically, “it’s time for you to die.” He shifted his weight, keeping Ragnell hefted easily onto his shoulder.

“Big words for such a small-URK” The demon gasped, or tried to, as his throat was cut from behind. He toppled lifelessly to the ground to reveal Sothe, who had crept silently behind him during the brief exchange with Ike. Micaiah quickly joined him, clutching a light tome.

“We’ve found a way out,” she said, breathlessly, “This way.”

The trio quickly darted through the winding corridors, muttering darkly over the Chozo’s labyrinthine design choices. Three wrong turns, five angry demons, and one misplaced looking Stalfos later, they emerged onto a balcony overlooking Skytown.

“What happened?” Sothe gasped, staring at the smoldering ruins of the once magnificent city. The skies had turned ashen gray, torn by violent winds and swept by blazing explosions. The opposing fleets dueled overhead, raining down fire and debris.

“The end.” Ike said simply. “That’s what happened.”

[bobsnicket]

[Reeka Laboratories]

Bob Snicket squinted in the darkness as he crept down the dimly lit passageway, following the guidance of the Compass of Desire. With the compass in one hand and his Super Hammer in the other, he rounded each corner expecting the worst, prepared for whatever grotesque thing the mad scientist might send against him. Because his Sovaherc-Crehavos Illusion was still in effect, he did not have enough energy to simultaneously create another apparition to light the way for him. And besides, he did not want the evil professor to see him coming.

Before, when he had stood at the door of the ominous laboratory, he had utilized his Switch Hook by releasing the spring in the direction of one of the round windows. It had latched on and pulled him up, through, and into the belly of the beast. This he had done with all haste, for a delay of even one second could mean the end of the Yoshi he knew. His only comfort lay in the knowledge that even if he or his old friend were to die in this attempted rescue and escape, that the both of them would be ensured an eternal dwelling place other than the infernal pit to which their adventure had currently take them. One way or another, it would be the end of their dealings with demons and Hell Lords and insane scientists.

Then, as he approached one last corner, a heavy humming noise sounded in his ears. Slowing down and redoubling his cautionary efforts, he sidled along the obsidian-like wall, peering around the corner despite the security the Cloak of Invisibility rendered him. He nearly gasped at what he saw.

An immense, monstrous machine encircled the room, and in addition, linked two tables upon which lay two beings. One was a shadowy figure huddled inside a cage, while the other was...Yoshi. And watching with his hands behind his back as his perverse invention worked, stripes of blue electric energy flashing across its cables and surfaces, was Professor U. Reeka.

The two metal tables had begun to glow. A loud vibrating buzzed across to Snicket, as if calling out to him in warning.

Without a second thought, he hurled himself around the corner and leapt forward, hammer raised.

[Fallen Angel Castle]

Sovaherc ascended floor after floor, not tiring in the slightest due to his tendency to hover as he did so rather than go through the labor of actually climbing stairs. Not a single guard had challenged him, for, after all, it was his castle. Or at least it appeared to be. Up and up he went, the flame in his crimson eyes burning with righteous anger and determination.

"My Lord."

He came to a sudden halt in the middle of one of the higher corridors as, unexpectedly stepping out of a doorway, Sephiroth barred his path from further progression.

It was easy to see why Crehavos had chosen such a man as one of his commanders. They were much alike: their dark, calm demeanor, their silvery hair, their deep, gaunt eyes. Sephiroth spoke. "Lord Crehavos, not that it is not a pleasure to have you back, but...should you not be in Skytown tearing the SSS apart? I was under the impression you had left hours ago." His probing eyes peered keenly at Sovaherc. "And you seem...different, somehow. Something strange in your eyes--"

But Sephiroth had no further chance to question the Crehavos before him, for in an instant, a scythe from a nearby suit of armor had been driven through his chest. His heartbeat died away, and with his last vicious gasp of life, he saw Sovaherc as he really was, staring calmly at him as he perished.

At long last, the opposite reached the great doors leading into Lord Crehavos's throne room and quarters at the very top of the massive castle. Pushing them open telekinetically, he paced into the room, stopping to look out the windows to gaze out across the designs of the devil, only this time it was from the devil's own perspective. So much red and black...so much blood and darkness. He turned away and settled into Crehavos's throne, apprehensively awaiting the return of the great one whom he would destroy. He would free this world of all the bloodshed, all the darkness. And all that was left to do was wait.

(OOC: I took the liberty of officially disposing of Sephiroth for you, Cell. )

[Big Boss]

[Kin, Snake, Evil Kin]
{Hell}

The ship was getting closer to the red sandy ground, hells castle blocked out most of the horizon, Snake yelled out "Kid, were about 9000 feet from the ground you better hurry up!" Kin dodged a punch from the silver serpant and he herd Snake. "what 9000!?" kin was shocked, he had little time to get rid of Evil Kin. He crouched down a bit and ran towards the serpant, carefully not trying to fall off the decending ship. The serpant jumped up in the air and slammed his feet on Kins back, like stomping on a bug. "Augh!" was the only thing kin could mutter out. The serpant continued to jump on his back like a child on a trampoline. "Ha ha ha!" he laughed.

Kin put himself back together and rolled out of the way, he got up and yelled. He began to Punch evil kin in the stomache, followed by a uppercut to the jaw, then an elbow in the chest, followed by a spin kick, the serpant stood back, dazed Kin grabbed his head and CQC'd him to the floor. "Looks like your out of touch serpant" Kin said. Evil Kin was on the floor riddled with pain and discomfort, but still managed to gather up his striength and utter a murky smile. "Ill give you that one, but im still going to kill you." he spread his golden wings and stepped back to the ledge. "We will finish this later, next time we will play my way, sword fight" Evil Kin said. Then he dipped back and flew off down to the castle.

Kin let his gaurd down and sat on the ship roof, holding onto a bar in order to not fall off. Kins dark matter orb rang. "Hey Kid..you alright?" it was snake on the other line. Kin responded, "I dont know...I feel weird.." Kin said. "Whats wrong?" snake questioned. "Physicly im alright..i dont know..im just lost in thought.

[Evil Kin, Big Boss]
{Fallen Angel Castle}

Big Boss was waiting and watching with his goggles in one hand and Patriot in the other hand. He saw Evil Kin comming closer to the castle. Big Boss drew out a cigar and light it up, smoke swiriling all around him. His short silver grey hair glowed in hells light. His brown coat and gloves made from leather dressed him. Evil Kin flew down and hit the ground, he landed on his kneww and his hands on the floor, wings dissipating calmly. "How did the fight go?" Big Boss said as smoke poured from his mouth from his last puff of his cigar. Evil Kin looked up, he had never seen this man before. "Who the hell are you?" He bluntly asked. Big Boss took the cigar from his mouth and held it in his hand. "I am nothing important, just an old fool brought back to life to do crehavoses wet work." he said. Evil Kin walked over and stared. "Crehavos is just a fool, and anyone who works for him is just as stupid." he began to walk to the castle, away from the old man. "You know that style, he used?..the man with the silver hair?" Big boss said, stopping evil Kin in his tracks. "What about it?" the silver serpant rudley replied. "Thats my technuiqe, I passed it down to my son, and he must of passed it down to him as well, you could say that i have tought him that move, CQC" Big Boss said while puffing more of his cigar. Evil Kin looked back, "Its a flawed fighting system, nothing i cant handle, a true man kills with a blade." he said while turning around, walking back to the castle. "Its going to be the style that will also kill you." Big boss said while walking down the steps onto the red surface of Hell.

[ Skytown ]
[ Genesis, Dark Genesis ( Inside Gen's Mind ), Nemeck, Dartanian, Alica, Voltage ]

Genesis decided that the only way to defeat Dark Genesis was to enter his own mind and fight him. Genesis used his own gun and knocked himself out cold as he fell to the ground. Voltage looked at him and said, "What the hell, did he just knock himself out.....Oooo I get it now." Voltage then turned around and looked at Alica. Alica yelled,"You imbecile, how dare you interfere with me!" Voltage replied,"He owes me a match so I don't want him dead just yet understand?"

[ Dead or Alive 4 - Solitary Desperation ]

"You fool, I will remove you from this world now!!" Alica lifted her hand and charged up another light attack. When she fired the attack continuously, Voltage quickly dodges each of them. "Let me show you my power", Voltage replied.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[ Genesis's Mind ]
[ Genesis, Dark Genesis ]

Genesis stood in the middle of the cold area waiting for Dark Genesis's suprise attack. Dark Genesis quickly came behind him and tried to bash his head with the gun again, but this time, without turning around, Genesis blocked his attacked with his gun. Dark Genesis quickly moved back.

[ Dead or Alive 4 - Alpha 152 ]

"What... hahahaha how the @#$% did you block my sneak attack?", Dark Genesis yelled. Genesis replied, "...Simple, I know your every move." Dark Genesis yelled back, "Liar!!". The crazy minded man began shooting at Genesis but he dodged every blast he had coming to him. Genesis smiled and said,"Like you said before, I'm you, which means you have every single skill that I possess..." Dark Genesis started laughing and said, "Hahahaha, interesting Genesis you have improved since our last pathetic battle, now shut up and show me WHAT YOU GOT!!!!" Both of them did the exact same attacks on each other and repelled each of their attacks. It ended as the two both did a kick and their foots collided together. They both then jumped up in the air and started doing air combat moves on each other dodging one attack after another. "Enough!!", Dark Genesis yelled as he grabbed Genesis foot and started swinging him and then threw him to the ground. Genesis landed safely on the ground. Dark Genesis tried to punch him, but Genesis leaped over and dodged his attack making Dark Genesis punch the ground. Genesis looked at Dark Genesis and said, ....You're slipping."

[Soul Eater]

[Diachi, Cara]
{Skytown}
After searching around, destroying any demons that somehow survived the battle, they had to find the others. The new one, newer then even they to these surroundings, stuck out of the crowd with ease, and they found Adeleine with the capsule undamaged.

"You ain't bad in a fight then", Diachi told her. Cara then changed from her nunchuka to a humanoid form again.

"Thanks" She said in a slightly weak tone. The battle had worn her out and although it had been some time since it actually finished she was still exhausted from it.

Then they looked over to see the Halberd burst through the ruins. It's full glory shown in the moment it burst through the clouds.

"C'mon you two", Diachi shouted at Adeleine and Hina before coming to meet Meta-Knight and, after a breif introduction of the newcomer, he said; "sorry you were a bit late for the battle."

"It does not matter" The knight replied.

"Good, I'll get the commanders to knew ya finally arrived", He said, before flipping open his cell phone.

Eiron answerred the link after thinking of Nemeck breifly.

"Who's there?", He asked into it.

"Guess. Meta-Knight's just arrived and I've wiped out the surviving enemies."

[The Solid War Doctor]

[Zel, Sour]
{Skytown}

Zel walked out on the balcony, staff in hand, and gazed out over the fight that was taking place. The tanks were half gone and running low on ammo. The men were tired and battle worn. The fleet was pelting the demons of Hell with lasers from the heavy cannons. He went inside and walked down the stairs and through the corridors of the base to the hangar. It was there he found Sour, whom had just returned from the Mushroom Kingdom.

“How did you fare” Zel asked inquisitively.

“We got some to come and help. And you?” Sour answered.

“I got the Gorons, the Zoras, and the Hyrule Royal Guard to come and help.” Zel answered.

He walked over to the Outlander 5, his own ship, and climbed inside signaling for Sour to follow. He took seat in the Captain’s chair and Sour sat in the seat to the right. Zel then started the engines and the navigation system.

“Well sense we both have nothing of to great to do I figure we ought to prepare for a trip to hell. If your not scared.” Zel stated.

“That’s real funny smart ass. I’m game for it.” Sour said.

“Good now go and get Commander Cody. We have things to do before we go. We need men, ammo, and supplies to sustain us for when we take this battle to Crehavos’ door step.” Zel ordered.

Sour stood up and went to retrieve the Commander while Zel got the ship ready for the short trip. He walked into the bedroom chambers of the ship where his wife was.

“So are you sure you can handle this little skirmish in the black fiery pits of Hell?” Zel asked Brooke.

“I sustained what part of the SIE battle I took part in didn’t I.” she answered.

“Well, if something goes wrong I’ll have Ian take you back here where its safe.” Zel stated. “I must get back to preparing the ship. You might want to put some clothes on. It’s mid day.” The SSS General stated as he left his wife to get dressed.

[bobsnicket]

[Skytown: Outside the Outlander 5]

A silvery whirlwind cascaded through Skytown and into the hangar. Blowing with a graceful whisper, the whispy currents came to a flurried halt nearby Zel's impressive aircraft. They converged into several solid figures, the sparkling particles massing together in hundreds of thousands of tiny filaments, each contributing its small mass to the larger whole.

As the last of the escapees materialized, Palutena stepped forward toward the Outlander 5, the other members of the Heaven Society close behind--namely, Farore, Din, Nayru, and the newly accepted Pokemon, the mystical pink cat, Mew. Flanking this frontal group were Link of Hyrule and Master Sakurai of the Dojo, sword and Wii Remote in hand, respectively. The rest of the former prisoners, primarily high-ranking officers throughout the Nintendo Universe who had openly defied Crehavos's rule, were gathered behind them.

As fortune would have it, at this very moment, Sour was returning with Commander Cody. The two of them stopped in their tracks, however, upon sight of the out-of-place newcomers.

Palutena turned to them, and gave an address in her clear, serene, queenly voice. "Commander. We are those who were recently liberated from the confinement of Fallen Angel Castle by the noble Sovaherc. The time has come for us to assist the cause of the Super Smash Saviors in defeating the tyranny of Crehavos and his infernal hordes of demons. When will you depart for the Realm of Sin?"

Cody, after a moment, managed to overcome the initial shock of seeing this group which seemed to emanate power and goodness. "Well...on behalf of the SSS, I welcome you to Skytown. Your help will be both appreciated and needed. Let me get General Zel for you."

With that, he and Sour proceeded up the ramp and into the Outlander 5.

[Reeka Laboratories]

www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01461/

Small explosions began erupting as a result of the Super Hammer smashing the machine's main control panel. Dials whirred out of control, glass tubes shattered, spilling odd liquids and releasing odorous chemicals into the room. The glow which had started up on the two metal tables faded away. Both individuals, however, seemed already to have been affected by the machine, as for a short moment they appeared to be being shocked, and then afterwards, small trails of smoke rose from Yoshi and the creature in the cage.

Professor U. Reeka, of course, was infuriated. He had not been expecting the Word Warlock to intercede quite so soon, definitely not before the transformation was completed. With an enraged cry, he shot a bolt of blue electricity from his watch at the intruder.

Snicket saw the bolt coming, and just in time, managed to duck out of the way. The bolt ricocheted off the machinery to the ceiling to the cage atop one of the tables. With a great cracking noise, the cage broke apart, allowing the thing inside it to escape down one of the hallways. Bob never did see what it looked like.

In response, the boy pulled out his Switch Hook and released it toward his aggressor, but the maniacal midget launched himself out of harm's way via the jetpack built at the back of the gray lab coat. Reeka then drew out the Magic Paintbrush and brandished it at his human opponent. "Kudos for getting this far, Word Warlock. But now that you have entered the belly of the beast, my revenge will be completed with your death. You are about to find out that you design your characters too well for your own good, for although you have ultimate control over what they do within the bounds of your ridiculous stories, here in the real world, we are not quite so submissive. It is time to pay the price for ruining lives for the sake of entertaining your own!"

"Ruining, you say?" Bob mused, twirling his hammer, eyes locked on the airborne enemy. "I was under the impression that if it weren't for me, you wouldn't so much as exist. Would you really prefer extinction to a dreary existence? Would you take out your frustrations in life on the one who gave it to you? Because it was never my intention to bring you out of the book in the first place, and I still fail to understand how you manage to pin the blame for the suckiness of your life on me. I did indeed, as you say, write you well, but I did not necessarily control your actions. A truly skilled author does not think of his characters as tools which he tells what to do, but as real, living individuals whose deeds he cannot control any more than the old lady next door. I have always considered you as such, and because I liked you so much, even kept you alive at the end of the tale. All of us can lash out at our supreme beings, curse God and die, and so forth. But I must say, your displays have been the most drastic and pathetic examples that I've ever seen. And because you've tried to harm my friends, I cannot show any more mercy toward you than any other enemy. It saddens me to be forced into ending the life of one of my own creations, even if it be a wicked one. But for the sake of this world and those I care about, I will do what I must."

Ulysses Reeka giggled. "That you try to win, with a hope that you can: that is all I ask." Without further preamble, the professor lunged down at the writer using the jetpack, slashing down with the Paintbrush.

Bob Snicket met the strike with the Super Hammer, the two weapons crossed. The machinery continued to crackle with small bolts of electricity, smoke and chemicals billowing all around, as it malfunctioned.

"So begins," he said, "the end."

[Cell]

{Skytown}

[Dartainian, Nemeck]

As the sun began to die down into the foggy horizon, the war went on. Never ceasing, nor shrinking in effort. This cataclysmic ordeal was reaching new heights, and as warriors fell, carcus' stained with gore and mud, the resilience of both opposing defenses seemed to grow exceedingly in response. Dartainian could no longer match The Lance's frightening potency, having resorted to fleeing from him in order to even remain alive. This fiend just didn't seem to have a weak point anywhere, and it irked the intellectual to bitter ends.

His lucky streak continued when he finally devised a counter strategy to this malicious chase, only to find Nemeck surprising him once more. The masked assassin extended his blade wielding apendages while chasing his foe, a wet, sloppy chuckle audible from behind his now re-attached, metallic concealment. His hands shook violently, and unlike what Dartainian predicted, each one tore themselves clean off of Nemeck's body; zooming straight for the phantom, intent on their one, finishing objective.

It happened all so quickly. Just a shining blur, a low hum ringing from the metal slicing fiercly through the air, followed by unimaginable pain centered in a most vital, now severely damaged, organ. Levitating became too much, standing became too much, breathing became too much. Evenly, he fell, and there he lay like an angel on the stone ground; hand covering his mutilated heart.

Only inches away, the dying warrior hazily saw his victorious adversary; mask removed again, dead, blank eyes locked on his soon-to-be ones, slouching over the defeated boy almost... tenderly. As if he were a mother trying to console her sobbing child. And then he spoke, voice just barely a whisper, "The immortal sleep is looming, child. It befalls every participant in the calculating gamble of carnage, and as it is written, only the strong survive." Nemeck blinked once before continuing, evenly saying, "I was mighty, and you, boy, were not."

"D··· don't you··· don't you conjure snides at···" the fading warrior began, but was interrupted by a sudden cough, of his lungs rejecting the blood that filled them. He continued with fire deep in his emerald eyes, "me, Nemeck···! F···fi···filthy mongrel... just you wait... Wait and see the horror that will befall this realm be-because of your inane support of... of him..."

"What nonsense do you utter, Dartainian Ayre, on your imminent deathbed?" Nemeck questioned rather sharply.

"With... with her death..." the boy whispered, a feeble, shaken hand gesturing towards his dueling ally, meeting her cerulean eyes that were choked with unrivaled despair, "the Dark One's mentality will die... and then... then you will see... the rise of... the Eclipse."

His final breath come and went, a sullen wind sweeping across the plain like a gentle summer breeze. The Silent Phantom, Dartainian Ayre, died; leaving Nemeck to ponder on his first... and last prophecy.

------------------------------

[Ucria, Arietta]

"NO!"

The dauntless maiden's self restraint had shattered undeniably, collapsing to her knees, lamenting over the fall of her young comrade. Ucria could only blame herself for letting him get involved in this deadly warfare, he was still so young, and she had been too weak to protect him from the wrath of Crehavos. Tears fell, and her body shook, but that did not diminish her undying rage.

"Oh, quit your blubbering, you pitiful shrew!" Arietta snarled, eyes narrowed upon the devistated goddess. However, a mocking sneer replaced her heartless glare, articulating her next words calmly and delicately. "Rise, or you can join your friend."

Ucria's sobs immediately came to a halt, bringing herself to her feet, yet never taking her eyes off of the floor beneath them; where her tears of sorrow stained. "Your cockiness, dear, has grown quite old."

"Oh...? That's a fact, is it?" the girl whispered, eyelids fluttering shut. "Well then, let us continue. Your fate has already been secured."

By the time Arietta opened her eyes, Ucria's cold gaze was again locked with her own. "Foolish nymph, you underestimate my power. Ignorance equaling one's such as your own will only lead to death, absent of cherishable mercy." the lovilian retorted.

"And your withered mind actually believes it can bring my demise to reality?!" Arietta shrieked, nails igniting once more. "Such dilusions are pure fantasy, nothing more!"

Before Arietta could even move one toe from the rocky surface, a blinding coruscate sprung abroad across the platform, heavily influencing senses and creating a distorting phenomenon. Gravity became non-existant, an assault of barbarous gusts manifested themselves, and a tingling sensation shot through every nerve.

The terminal occurance being that of angelic, golden wings, spreading across the dying sky, as all became ultimately barren of even the tiniest hint of life.

The Lovilian End.

{SSS Hangar}

Zel was sitting in the cockpit setting all the systems to extreme. This would keep the ships engines and core systems from overheating and self destructing. After all the arrangements were set and ready Sour and Commander Cody walked in.

"Uh...Zel there's some people out here needing a word." Sour said.

"Is there now. Well then let me give them a proper greeting." Zel said as the three walked down the on ramp. His eyes widened as he saw the group in front of him. "Hello my friends, I am the General of the SSS Army Zel, how might I help you."

OOC: A quickie post, to make sure I get what I want. *evil grin*

[Kaimu, Nemeck; Skytown]

www.imeem.com/ultimathule667/music/UF5sRQm-/yuki-kajiura-ancient-temple-2/

The screams and shouts of the battle waged on, people were running in each direction, but not Kaimu, he was still standing next to this strange man who was awfully quiet. For him everyting was silent, and always was. Nothing but a strange vibration in his soul.. and words that never seemed to vanish. Nothing ever filled this feeling, and while he could hear, it was a secondary sound.

Eiron had left him, regrettably, and he was not in the mood to go after him. There was a beast amongst them this must was clear and he was not in the mood to become dinner.

What no one realized is that Kaimu was not here by an order, or here because of his personal morals. Here was here for a singular purpose. To collect the spoils of war. To banquet in the personality and power of the dead, to evolve. This battle with Crehavos was just the beginning of what was surely to come, and he was preparing himself. Ever onwards, the sides were tipping back into balance, but not in his very being. No, he was unbalanced, too full of malice and rage. What he needed was some goodness, some of the power that dared to stand up to those with malicious intent. The ego and bravery and heroic of a fallen warrior.

Sensing his chance, he started to move. He saw some strange form arrive, seemingly from nowhere. They where high up, and strange.. but he decided to go check them out. Running up with such speed that was called legendary by the people training him, he propelled himself on the spire, moving ever upwards. Once he reached them, his face turned sour. They were pitiful, arguing and yelling about some manner of things, but suddenly his attention was drawn even higher up, what they were near was even more delicious. They were just a lure to the real show, a battle of two forces of good and evil waging a intense struggle. Everything their Order stood for. All of his energy, quickly being applied to his feet, he ran with the force that no normal human could apply, jumping across platforms, he found what he was looking for, the final thrust. The thick splatter of his lifeblood was at a end, caring not for anything else, he rushed in.

He stood but for a moment in Nemeck presence. He locked eyes, when he felt his spoils fill him with power. There was the same feeling as the soul wonders what is going on, had they not actually died? For a moment, the silent and noble Dartainian would think he was locking eyes with his foe, standing at the man who had just killed him. But instantly all recognition, memory, personality, it was shattered, only pieces remaining, no sense of self. Nothing left but his wysteria colored, energy... which burned through out, visible by Nemeck for a second, before Kaimu received is ill-begotten gift. His body quickly grew transparent, and stuck out his tongue.

"Just enjoying the delicious feast you layed out for me old bean." and with that, he jumped off the platform daringly, falling from the depths of this sky-town, seemingly to his own doom. He knew his timing was perfect.. this was plan 100's of years in the making.

In his own mind, in the winds of change, held more presences than the new spirit could count. All mingled together, all colors of the spectrum. These spirits were not violent, they all merely hung there, as if all contempt with their existence, all becoming one in a sense that they shared presence in this body. They were surrounded by a singular presence.. on bright, multicolored light. It seemed, despite it's color.. so fragile, so easily broken. As the once noble warriors energy lined up, it faded slightly.. and a glimmer of the beautiful wisteria joined the ball of color.. everything was done.

"It's time!" and with these words, he continued to fall.

[Nemeck, Dartanian]
{Skytown}

Nemeck stared stoically after Kaimu, that wretched little leach that Arietta doted upon. “Vulture, maggot!” Nemeck hissed under his breath, consumed with noiseless rage. He rose, casting his shadow across Dartanian’s body, encasing it in darkness. “You vile little carrion feeder…” he simmered, quickly silencing his emotions.

“Are you so weak,” he mused to himself, his voice soft once more, “that you would steal from another’s victory to gorge your lust for power?” He calmly walked to the edge of the massive spire, watching Kaimu plummet into the swirling clouds and out of site. “Clever perhaps,” Nemeck said, gently casting his lance into the abyss. “you may have received some of what you sought…” Nemeck turned back towards Dartanian, his features softening further as his lance dissolved into countless droplets of blood, disappearing into the wind. “But even this corpse had strength you do not. Even this child had the strength to stand before me.”

For a moment, he was silent, slowly looking over the fallen warrior. The boy’s face was even paler in death, his blood emptied from his punctured heart and draining his body of color. “Your journey is not yet at an end, it would seem.” Nemeck’s words slowly grew clearer and softer as his mangled grin repaired itself. “Should we meet again, I will grant you the honor and rest you deserve.”

He turned towards Ucria and Arietta, silently observing their duel sat against the sinister skies. Two opposites, two opposing ideologies, set against each other in battle. These polar epitomes of raw human potential were consecrated to oppose another, irreversibly drawn to the other’s destruction. One who could only see the good in people, who deluded herself with fantasies of justice and heroism, and one who reveled in violence, in power and in death. Only one view, one truth would emerge from the bloodshed. Nemeck turned away. He already knew how this would end.

Deep down, they all did.

He returned to Dartanian and gently lifted him into his arms, like a sleeping child. Turning into the wind, he raised his dark wings, and rose into the sky.

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

(OOC: No music)

A brief tingling sensation alerted Eiron to the next phase of the plan, and he quickly dialed up Dachi and Cara. “Hey, I need you two to head back to the ship. Start preparing yourselves for the final push.”

“Right, understood.” They answered back, completing each other’s sentence. Noting Steele, Eiron cut the conversation short and hung up. He pocketed the communicator as the newcomer approached.

“Oy,” he said, tapping Dobs on the shoulder and motioning towards Steele. “Isn’t he, like, bad?” The three heroes turned and regarded the young swordsman.

Falcon shouldered his way past them, his hands tightening into fists. “Last time I checked.” He said darkly. “He wasn’t with us.”

Oblivious to these mutterings, Steele approached, calling out ahead of himself. “What just happened?” he asked, earnestly unsure of the situation. Dobs and Eiron glanced at each other with raised eyebrows. Then with a shrug, Dobs and Toran stepped forward.

“Hey Steele!” Dobs said easily. “You look like you’ve lost weight since I last saw you.”
“We have engaged the target designated as Crehavos with thermonuclear weaponry, resulting in the peripheral damage around us.” Toran explained dully, motioning to the charred landscape around them. “What business do you have with us?”

[Ike, Micaiah, Sothe]
{Skytown, Outside the Outlander 5}

Ike, Sothe, and Micaih dashed into the main platform which was slowly filling with soldiers and brawlers, ready to regroup before another demon hunting escapade down Skytown’s winding corridors. Instead however, the trio skidded to a halt in awe of the new arrivals. “Greetings, young warriors.” Palutena said, smiling gently at their surprise. “Noble Sovaherc has released us from our foul captivity so that we may once more lend strength to your arms.” The diety bowed her head slightly before the assembling Super Smash Saviors. “Thank you for enduring these long years of hardship. Thank you for your power, your wisdom, and your courage.” She raised her head, light radiating across the assemblage of warriors rallying back to the hangar, her smile filling them with warmth. “Please, lend us your strength once last time.”

A cheer went up from those assembled, and they began to prepare for the final journey into Hell itself, quietly talking amongst themselves while they waited for General Zel. Micaiah smiled tiredly. “It’s almost over,” she said, leaning her head against Sothe’s shoulder. “At last, it’s almost over.”

“One way or another,” Ike said, planting Ragnell into the ground and sitting down beside it, “we’ll finish this.” He smiled up at the young couple, knowing that they’d have the strength to pull through. “Just a little bit more.”

Micaiah nodded. “The three of us can do it. We can do anything.” She smiled again. “This brings back so many”-drip.

Micaiah stopped talking, a surprised look coming over her face. Slowly, she reached up and touched the top of her head, then pulled her hand to her face and stared at it. It was smeared red with blood. “Micaiah?” Sothe asked, suddenly afraid. “Are you hurt? Are you”-drip

Another drop fell from the ceiling, landing squarely in Micaiah’s outstretched hand. Blood splattered gently to the floor in a slow motion cascade of droplets. Slowly, the trio looked up.

There, a hundred feet above them, was Dartanian. Shining sliver swords pierced through his wrists and ankles, crucifying his corpse upside down to the elegantly decorated spire wall. His mouth and eyes gaped open, horribly empty, his pale face totally devoid of any semblance of life. A ragged, bloody hole stretched across his chest, oozing blood down the wall. Eventually, it fell, drop, by drop, by drop.

Above him, a bloody line of words arced across the wall, raining tendrils of blood down its surface.

Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrat.

The crowd had turned silent, staring up in horror at the display above them. Slowly, a single black feather fell, twirling gently in the wind as it descended to the group of Saviors. Palutena moved foreward, and with a quick, defiant motion, snatched it out of the air. The Goddess stared stonily up at the sprawling words, her face hard and cold.

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”

[Skytown]

MM was wandering with his collegues when he spotted others. "Haylee?" He said. She turned and a large grin appeared on her face.

"MM!" she ran up to him and hugged him. "Back so soon?"

"Well, Nikoro--err DMM made a mess of things over there so I had to get back here as soon as possible." MM responded. Necro and Luca wandered over as well.

"Long time no see," Necro high fived MM. "You prepared?"

"Prepared for what?" Rai asked.

"The war has started," Luca stated. "We have little time before everyone is in this dreaded war."

"How much time do we have?" MM asked.

"At max, 5 minutes... I feel the dark aura of Nikoroto approaching." Luca closed his eyes.

"Nikoroto?" Haylee was confused. "Who's that?"

"Don't worry about it, Haylee." MM quickly answered. He looked around and saw others fighting. "What's the minimum, Luca?"

"Now is the minumum." Luca reported. "We have to be ready now!" MM nodded. He drew his sword and entered the building to search for Dobs and Eiron.

[DMM]
[Skytown]

A portal opened as DMM stepped out onto the cement. he looked around for any sign of MM. He walked up to the building and then decided to wait on top. He jumped up on top of the overhang.

Dark Genesis got up after his attack missed Genesis. Genesis said, "Your slipping." Dark Genesis teleported a got infront of Genesis ready to bash him again with the gun, but Genesis blocked it with his gun. Genesis found an opening and kicked him in the stomach pushing him back a few feet. Dark Genesis got back up and yelled,"What the hell...did you get an enhancement or something?!!" Genesis shook his head and replied, "No, its not that at all...its something you'll never have." Dark Genesis yelled back, "WHAT...I HAVE EVERYTHING YOU POSSESS...I'M YOU...YOUR ME YOU BASTARD!!!" Genesis replied back, "But the one thing you don't have....is friends believing in you."

Dark Genesis went crazy and yelled, "FRIENDS....HAHAAHAHAHA, DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULL@#$%, I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!".

( Lelouch I need you to post so i can continue with Alica )

[Skytown]
[Genesis, Voltage, Alica]

Voltage made his favorite weapon, a katana. He charged at Alica, she reacted with a blast of light that both sent him away and broke his sword. He became angry, he made another, only to be broken again by Alica's mighty blasts of light. "What the....hehehehehe." was the only thing he said as he got an idea. Swords were clearly useless against Alica, there was a weapon he had been hiding for awhile for such an occasion. He looked back at Genesis, still unconscious on the floor. You better be winning Genesis... he thought, almost hoping that Genesis could hear him, though Voltage knew better. Turning to Alica, he spoke. "It has been awhile since I have needed to use this..."

Electricity condensed in his hand, changing color and shape. A club about 4 feet long appeared, seemingly wooden with iron studs in it. It was one of the most feared weapons in existance, the kanabô. In normal human hands, it can break swords, demolish bone....Voltage smiled at what it could do in his hands, half-demon hands that can rip a full-grown tree from the ground by the roots. "Alica...I should introduce myself. I am Voltage, Prince of the Lightning Wolf Tribe." Voltage clenched his hand around the handle og his newly made weapon. "But that is not only what I am....I am also your end!" With that, he charged once more at Alica, this time her light blasts useless as he deflected them.
