Collaboration: The Gods and their Angels (Closed. We've Begun.)

[Safe in the Dark]

Vermilion soon came across the Voyager's Gambling Champion, Alastor. "Rest now.... Soulless Nomad..." Vermilion said, relinquishing the essence of the man before collecting his weapons as a memento. "I shall return for the spirit of the machine later... It won't be going anywhere..." He said as the inner force of death was calmed slightly. He then clapped after pocketing the cards and appeared next to his master and the Ambassador. "I return for now... I assume this is the messenger." Vermilion joined them at the table and began to play a most sinister game of Solitaire, which was vaguely less menacing due to his lack of knowledge of solitaire.

Azura grinned and traced a line with her finger before sliding into the bright blue gap, vanishing from sight as she simply watched, biding her times, across the vast space a slight chuckling could be heart as her Champion slid into a similar light blue gap.

 

[Zirat]

Priscilla touched down on the launchpad and felt the now familiar sensation of weightlessness and inertia rushing her onto the next planet mass. She had to be nearing the end soon, this one seemed a bit further away though...
"Wait... what's that brat doing down there?" She asked herself, catching a glimpse of a shining blue gash on the planet...

 

[Red Magic]

Azura's cackling grew louder and an insane sewing sound could be heard as well as a sort of welding and a slight unintelligible scream. Azura worked fast and precise making every motion count as she exerted a large amount of energy, the cackling grew into a mad jubilee and then the entire domain grew deathly silent.

 

[Zirat]

"Oh... that just isn't fair" Priscilla remarked in disbelief as she saw the massive charge up on the small planetoid below. Instead she pushed on again. This planet seemed to be the last one she could access... tiny, brown... she walked around to the top. Looking for anything. She had to get the fuck out, and it was...

Suddenly, she saw it. Flanked by a pair of faceless guards in highly advanced mechanical suits, there was a large, ruined construct. It was a large tripod, though missing a leg so it was on it's side, attached to the legs was an iron box with a dish on it, out of which sprawled multiple, curled and greyed tentacles, some were torn and smoking and others were dripping a purple messy fluid. inside the cracked and broken dish where the relay would usually sit was a shattered black orb, inside was it was a smeared black substance that seemed to twinkle like the stars in the sky. This thing was radiating power, and Priscilla's scanner was going off the charts just looking at the thing. This must have been something, maybe a long dead creator but now it was just a husk of it's former self. Though still, it seemed to have great potential...
But more importantly, what she saw was a worrisome lack of exits. There were no launch pads, and no form way to go back now. Priscilla was going over her current options, when suddenly she heard it.

An angelic, ominous Latin choir was singing bombastically in the sudden silence. Priscillas eyes widened to inorganic levels as the meaning of this sunk in.
Everyone knows the ominous choir was a sign of certain death, like a 44 string set in D minor, something big was about to happen with her in the center.

"Okay big guy... your coming with me" she said, walking over to the ruined box, knocking down the two astronauts to get a decent grip. She didn't come this far to die on a blasted rock this close to a major prize. She wrapped four arms around and lifted. Straining metal and gears could be heard as she shifted and managed to lift the monstrosity over her had and onto her back. Heavily walking over to the edge of the planet, she saw over the dying brown star she opened up her computer interface. She had a plan, but if anything went wrong both of them were going to fucking fry...

 

[Red Magic]

Azura's mad laughter continued as the core of the domain was revealed and her champion was horribly fused and grafted to it, the entire thing was covered in bright blue veins that looked like they were slowly spreading out and growing on each of the planets and she then appeared on top of the mad constrapulation. "[color=sky blue]బూమ్.[/color]" She grinned a horrid grin and disappeared once more, the entire domain not just exploding, but the sense of reality itself began to collapse rapidly. In a matter of seconds there would be nothing here.

 

[Fury Is Me.]

Asmodeus watched from Priscilla's eye as Iris charged an en tire domain with power. "...What happened to that girl?" She said, sounding impressed and grave. "I don't remember such power when i knew her once before... She was never that powerful... She was strong when i knew her, but now... she's almost like a God. troublesome... Troublesome indeed... Priscilla. quickly bring the prize home, we'll deal with her in due time, but for now, i don't think we should mess with her... Dangerous... Yes... Danger danger..."

 

[Zirat]

This... was not what she was expecting. Algorithms and map trajectories were flashing over her vision. The sun was all of a sudden pulsing blue, and a figure could be seen fused into it's core. Priscilla was facing a case in which the small child had unzipped the fly of the almighty and was about to give reality the shaft. There was now no simple way out, only a very.
Very.
Very long drop. Turning around she now looked off to the void. The world was visible below her, she could...

Suddenly the rock she was on started trembling. A shock wave was sent out from the throbbing sore on reality that was now prepping to explode.
Odds were being calculated. Not much was in her favor.
Though if she stayed she would certainly be wiped off the face of this fake world. A nova of energy was being discharged at that instant.
Beneath her feet the planet began to buck and twist. Parts came off, an immense heat was being detected. She cranked down the gravity field to it's minimum and tightened her grip on the dead god.

At the maximum bucking of the tiny world, she leapt away from the miniature world, the nova flinging her forward with it's dying energy...

 

[Red Magic]

"Entropy made easy." The witch chided as she had a cluster of her arm shaped minions comb the general area for the soul of her champion. "If you want a job done right, you do it yourself." The hands had a vague idea of where to go, due to her imprint upon the soul gem, it was merely a matter of crossing the distance and returning. Azura ran two fingers over her blue, crystal like eye and laughed, without the usual gusto. "That... Hurt." The witch collapsed, and as she did, a large ornate Red bed caught her, and she dozed, dreaming thoughts of dying cosmoses.

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

He drank it~ Oooh~ I knew he would~~~ Heeeeeeeeeeee~~~ ♥
Sensucht coughed in her hand to cover the horror and amusement she had from seeing the ambassador drink the concoction when Vermillion had arrived.
"Ah yes, this is the Champion on behalf of The Endless, The Metal Man. This is my own champion, Vermillion. We were just discussing the dreadful state of things at the minute." She introduced, watching her Champion sit and bring out some cards, obviously deciding not to be friendly or feign it.
"I believe we may have a deal in any case."

 

[Fury Is Me.]

Asmodeus watched Priscilla fall to the ground with a hard thud and saw parts of her fly in all directions, circuits and sparks shooting out and the silvery fluid in a puddle below her. Asmodeus sighed, though not out of disappointment, but because she had somehow managed to get herself out of there, alive, and with a valuable prize, no less. Still able to see out of Priscilla's eye meant she was still alive, so Asmodeus sent out a few Centipedes and Iron Maidens to carry both Priscilla and the Voyager back, she just had to wait patiently as the walk was quite a ways, but they'd be assured their share, all things considered. "About a day to and a day from, day being 12 hours time... I'll have Priscilla back some time tomorrow, I suppose... We'll just have to wait till then... Yes... Wait..." She said, already calculating what she could do with the enormous metal construct of the Voyager and Priscilla. The Centipedes had all been outfitted with a poison sack in their heads, giving them the ability to spit poisonous gas on par with the toxins the Poison God himself was made out of. As long as no champions arrived to interrupt them, they'd be more than safe.

12 hours time passes and the 9 Centipedes arrive a good time ahead of the 4 Iron Maidens. One of them gathers every piece of Priscilla it can gather while the other eight hold the Voyager off the ground, barely, and it collects the pieces from beneath it. Every part salvaged, though many unusable. It began to carry her home while the other 8 carried the Voyager at a snail's pace until the Iron Maidens caught up with them and assisted them, bringing their speed up to that of one Iron Maiden. The Centipede carrying Priscilla was already far ahead of them.

The fiend grabbed the Mordreds forarms, and he resisted for a moment before his blade was pulled from his hands. It flipped twice through the air before slamming into a rocky patch of land, swinging to and fro. The Mordred held still for a second before violently striking out at his opponent, at the same time pulling the arm that had been grabbed backward. The claws dug in deeper into his flesh, shredding the arm up to the point where bone was visible. It only added to the veil of smoke that was now surronding them.

But by wounding his arm in this manner he was able to slip out of the grasp of his opponent. Quickly distancing him from Raziel, the Mordred searched for his sword but his gaze happened on the stolen treasure of his master. Groaning, he made a dash for them immediately. He kept an eye out for the hazy fellow he had seen use them.

 

[BoosterGold]

"Blargh" shouts the Metal Man as the leech tea swill passed through him. He looked over at the champion in the corner, his looked like he was trying to make a vague attempt at playing solitaire but he was failing it hardcore. I am like 99% sure I know that guy
As Sensucht agreed to the deal he stood up and said, "I believe we have just done something that is truly fantastic. Today will mark the start of the alliance between The Endless and The Sensucht." It was at this point he did a very weird and extremely awkward victory jig.

 

[Fury Is Me.]

But the man of white haze had no intention of interfering. He had much better things to do. He mused his plan to himself in his head as a large wisp of cyan blue appeared on his body and spun around it as the rest of the wisps did. In a burst of white smokiness, he was gone, tracking a source that the Mordred brought.

Within moments, the white haze appeared before the Mad Angel, arms held behind him. "Hello, good sir. I believe i have business with you" He said.

A sunken eye opened on Priscilla's wrecked skull, the Glass Eye that Asmodius provided seemed intact while the second was cracked beyond current use. Shuddering with effort Priscilla tried to move, but nothing was responding.

Notices and cautions continued to rattle on in her background as finally succeeded in twisting her head to the side. She was being dragged across the flatlands at an even pace, it looked to be one of the Creators doll creatures. She chuckled weakly, this only produced more of the silver mercury-esque substance that fell straight to the dusty ground. She could recollect what happened previously to her up to hitting the ground. The planetoids, meeting a mercenary, seeing...
Her mind seemed to flare up a the thought of the red garbed child. She clenched the one arm that she still seemed to have control over and gritted her currently wrecked teeth at the memory of the stunt she pulled.
Another name she has to personally strike off her shit list.

Thinking back, she remembered being launched by the explosion, hanging onto the Voyager for dear life... being launched into the darkness and feeling herself being tugged downwards by gravity, even with the field on low. She was helpless up there, and as she got closer to the ground everything seemed to turn to red as she made reentry. It all ended at a grinding crash as she finally hit the ground, she remembered the feel of her legs coming apart beneath her as her arms buckled and snapped under the strain of holding up the heavy load. Then: darkness...

She leaned her head back. She didn't even remember whether or not the package survived the fall. Another weak laugh that segued into a cough.
I'm going to have to explain myself when we gets back it seems... she thought morbidly while her diagnostics scan continued.

 

[VaudevillianVeteran]

Giving a small laugh, watching the over-excited Metal Man dance, she gave another small smile.
"Well, if that's all the business you have with me today, please report back to your master. Another time perhaps you can visit and you won't have to suffer through tea prepared by Schadenfreude."
Sehnsucht gave a small nervous chuckle at that and got to her feet.
"My champion will see you out."

 

[Red Magic]

Iris was once again back in this familiar place, her Uncle Peter's magic shop, the kindly Older man smiled brightly at her, he pulled the whole quarter in the ear trick. The store, old and empty filled with a sense of laughter and joy. The main's gentle words rang out as he grinned his slightly toothless grin. "Iris, become a strong young woman, follow your dreams... My dreams are all fading it seems..." She looked up at the bittersweet smile on his face and spoke."But Uncle, your dreams can still come true... What did you want?" The man looked down and his smile slowly crept away. "Ever since I was a boy, I wanted a world where the joy and wonder of magic and spontaneity would bring a smile to everyone..." He said slowly. The young girl in the hood looked up at him and tried to cheer him up. "Then Uncle, when I get stronger, I'll make that world for you."...
...

......

Azura awoke with a vague soreness, back in her original form, and looked out the window at her domain. "A world where magic and spontaneity can make everyone smile..." She mouthed the worlds and they came up softly as she rubbed her eyes and sighed. She then set out to check the progress on her champion's return, a large magic hand dropped the Gem at her feet and she gave it a slight kick before taking it downstairs and dropping it in one of the magic fonts, as bones reshaped and flesh was made, even the suit seemed to be coming together.

 

[Safe in the Dark]

Vermilion scowled and dropped the cards. "I'm to see you out it seems." He then spun the harvester and sliced a hole in space before tipping the Metal Man's chair into it, what he passed through was an eldritch world of doom and gloom, where things went boom. A sort of... Fly of despair, after a good couple of minutes the man would be back on the outer rim of the air ship.

 

[BoosterGold]

As the Metal Man fell through the horrible nightmare of the dark realm of doom and gloom, he crashed hard onto the outer rim of the air ship with a resounding *CLANG*. His eyes were wide and reflected back the pure horror of his soul "Dear sweet mother of god what the heck was that!" he screamed out at the top of his lungs. He stood up and shook his whole body like a wet dog, and as he did grunted in pain.
He then jumped off the side of the air ship, forming a very large mechanical pelican on the way down. The pelican was seen travelling back to the domain of The Endless

 

[Fury Is Me.]

Asmodeus' voice picked itself into Priscilla's mind and she spoke to her directly."AR-12-82, when you return home, we'll repair you. I should be able to fix your body with the knowledge I'll gain from the colossal prize you've brought home. Well done. Well done, i made a fine choice in Champion."
