David West

"Now in my Def-"
Before David could explain himself, the next thing he saw was stars when Slindis stuck him across the face.
Unfortunately for him, she was stronger then she looked, MUCH stronger.
Aside from a quick twitch and a groan, David was completely out cold.

Rugal

The space in the chamber Rugal was stuck in had now reached the size of a ventilation shaft, his bones being the only thing that was keeping him alive, but even they were one by one snapping and breaking.
The devil in his ear said "Come on, just let it happen...no one is coming fo-"
[sub][sub][sub]"Wheathair, you've got some help! I saw the bit of your jacket on the side of the chute, and I'm using some acid to burn through the stone. It's nasty stuff, so you'll have to watch out for it!"[/sub][/sub][/sub]
"...Oh...Oh well, guess you can wait for them to die first then..."
Thus his mental demon faded and went to rally the others.

The smell of acid filled his crawl space as they got look at Rugal and the trap he was stuck in.
Before he could be moved, the crusher would need to be stopped.

Location: Corrupted Temple of Light | South America. [HEADING=3]Post contains Temple details.[/HEADING]
Time: Night | January 1st.
The temple was a maze of passages, chambers and sorts of rooms. In the beginning days of the temple everything was spotless like clean glass. Now in the present everything is covered in dust, cobwebs or unknown darkness material. Luckily deeper in the temple, eventually most passages reach the very last large chamber in the temple which contained a large and deep slope running down for a while mile down. On this slope and even in the rooms before it the traps had been activated by the dark passenger who returned long before the heroes.

The traps consisted of your usual past man made traps from spike pits to flamethrowers, the worst part about the traps were deeper inside the temple near the chamber containing the slope. The advanced traps were made of unnatural materials which were not crafted by man's hand. It was angelic metal and materials, these consisted of traps like buzz saws, lasers, turrets and even robotic guardians.

Even though the traps were a hard defense they have not kept out the natural life in the temple, but thanks to the corruption the insects and animal life in the temple has become corrupt just like the forest. Except this life is closer to the core of the temple which leads to increased darkness and corruption.

The temple was big but the catacombs below it were even more humongous.
It contained crypts, coffins, burial locations. Even the bodies of angels were laid to rest here, so no one knew was lurked beneath the temple.

The history of the temple was rather simple.
When man was in it's early years the angels decided to build the temple to look over the humans and guide them.
The tribes of man came out of curiosity and were welcome with open arms by the angels.
The angels taught the human ambassadors/head of the tribes knowledge about their world and what it would become.
Eventually most of the humans had received the blessing from the temple and even took up the angel's religion too.
Humans came to the temple to pray and receive aid.

Though some humans wanted more.

An order of humans and the head of an angel guided a black hand upon the temple.
The order wanted to corrupt everyone and use the angel's power to conquer the world.
The angelic head of the order was pleased with this since he gained more power and slaves himself.

Soon after the group was found by the angels and all hell broke loose.
Groups and angels were killed and soon the temple was covered in blood.
Luckily enough the archangels came and swiftly put an end to the betrayers, sending the order and the now fallen angel to their own version of hell.

The Archangels reverted the tribes to their past ways and said that humans would not be allowed to gain their knowledge.
This made the temple empty, no one dared to enter.
The tribes still worshipped it for an unknown reason.

Years ago the temple was disturbed, not by the tribe or the angels.
But by a boy.
Tomoya

Foolishly he ventured into the Temple of Light and climbed to the highest point to retrieve the stone of light.
The stone was forged by the Archangel which allowed the temple to be made and to be abandoned.
The stone turned the boy into one of their own.
That is how Tomoya became the Archangel of Lightning.


Riki, Kud & the David West, Slindis, Kalastryn group.
Location: Corrupted Forest/Jungle | Corrupted Temple of Light | South America.
Time: Night | January 1st.
Weather: Dark clouds.
The silence surrounding the couple was broken as Tajuh yelled.
"Teammates of the Rising Dawn... MOVE OUT!"
The boy Riki looked at his lover. Kud still gripped his sleeve tighter.
"Are you sure you want to come Kud?" He gently asked her. The young girl snapped a bit out of her scared state to only worry about Riki. "No... NO... let me come with you!" She raised her voice a bit. Riki smiled at her and stroked her hair which calmed her down a little.

"Now lets take it slow... " Riki said as he pulled Kud up and the two walked to the temple hallway behind the group with David and Slindis in it. Before leaving the hall Riki could feel a little bit dizzy and several flashes of light blinked in front of him. ("No... it can't be... narcolepsy... I cured myself!") His mind screamed out, but Riki managed to still guide his younger lover.

The two were fazed out of reality until they saw David being knocked out cold. "Ahh, what happened to David-san?" Kud said.


Dark Tomoya.
Location: Mexico.
Time: Early Evening | January 1st.
Weather: Cloudy.
The crisp air of January swept through Mexico like a scream. This may be because Dark Tomoya ran through many houses and market places with a truck. The truck was actually heading south below Mexico, to South America. The only reason why he travelled so fast was due to the lightning power's influence on his vehicle's engines. Soon enough Dark Tomoya arrived at an airport, the truck's grill was covered in red gooey blood and chicken feathers. Everyone gazed at him as he walked into the airport. "Ignore the mess... someone bloody put a lot of chickens in my way." He said in a threatening way.

Soon after that he walked into the main building and looked around for the main desk.

Melethia, Teri, Rugal

Melethia called up to Teri. "He's gonna need help, because he sounds like he's in a lotta pain... and there's something here!" She noticed a small depressed box and used a thin blade to pry it, revealing what was to her a fairly easy to disable trap even after checking the mechanism. With a few moments, she looked over the past bits and removed the key parts to making the trap go onwards, even managing to reverse the crushing mechanism.

"Teri, let's go down there! He's probably hurting a lot, but let's see what we can do!"

Hearing her daughter's calls, Slindis urged Kalastryn on. [color=c20000]"Kalastryn, when someone's willing to kill a comrade like that, would you have them guide you down what could be a dead end? It seems like Melethia set up a rope here, so let's follow it!"[/color] Slindis used the rope to keep herself from slipping down the slanted shaft.

"I suppose saying it is a bad idea is a serious understatement." she was honestly impressed with Mele's ability to disable the trap, and more-so impressed that the process of disabling it didn't need much adaptation from how it usually went back home. now that the crusher was not longer pushing down, she takes the eye from Slindis and pushes it gently into Rugal's eye socket.then gets out as soon as possible to let Slindis and Teri work on his recovery.

Rugal

Once the Crusher started to ascend, Rugal flat out fainted as the pressure was released, groaning from the strain the entire ordeal placed on his body.
Slindis managed to carry his limp body out before Melethia closed out the passage to prevent anyone else from getting trapped.
It was clear Rugal was in a bad state, internal bleeding, a his wrist bone was snapped and most of his other bones were near breaking point, not to mention the shock he was going into thanks to Crush Syndrome
He would live though, provided he got the right treatment.

On the plus side, he had his eye back so he was far less likely to die from his wounds.

Viscus: Cyberspace
Viscus watched as Dimitri and Vermillion when to work trying to wrestle control of the Airship from him.
Code:
"Insanity : Noun :
The state of being seriously mentally ill; madness.
Extreme foolishness or irrationality.

That is the only word I can use to describe your attempts to defy my operations. What makes you believe you can succeed in your efforts? You only escaped last time because I let you. So tell me, how do you believe you can defeat me?"
He asked as he watched, letting the automatic defences do the work for him.

Rugal

Teri moved past all of the women as she began typing a few things on her tablet, [color=0E59E4]
Code:
"Alright, ladies, this'll be when the Time Bubble comes in. It'll make time seem like it isn't passing at all for Mr. Berntstein; but will make things appear in normal time to us. Now; we only need to make this thing run for a few minutes on our end to lull Viscus into a false sense of security. After that; we can work on him..."
[/color]

As she deployed the Bubble; she was unaware that crueler things were lurking nearby this place...

Viscus | Dimitri | Vermilion: Cyberspace

Dimitri laughed, [color=3897E0]
Code:
"If I told you how we intend to win, that would ruin the surprise, now wouldn't it?"
[/color]

Taking a whack with THE_NINE_IRON, Dimtri felled another defense as the duo (now with a deployed PRINCIPALITY, SEIRYU and YAMATA_NO_OROCHI tearing through the other defenses) continued tearing through the Rising Dawn's mainframe to find the control modules.

As Rugal was put under, A strange smell filled the air.
"....What is that?..." Melethia said as the Smell grew stronger.
[color=c00000]"....Burning Metal?.."[/color] Slindis commented.
Hot Metal.
Teri began to have an episode of her PTSD and walked off before he got sick in front of everyone.
She then turned a corner and puked on what she thought was the wall.
"EEEEWWW! Gross, These where Everlast's!"
She looked and realised she just puked over a pair of rather expensive Everlast Runners.
That someone was wearing.
She looked up and saw a face she would always dread: Bruiser the Machoke.
"....Boo." He calmly said before giving off an evil grin.

Teri's eyes widened and she backed away slowly, her hand fumbling for a water bottle from her satchel; [color=0E59E4]
Code:
"Y-y-y-you can't be here... I saw you! You were killing people elsewhere... There's not way you should be here!"
[/color]

The Machoke cracked his knuckles as the grin widened; "Don't you remember, sweetie? Ain't nothing gonna stop me."

Teri shook her head vainly, and tried to cry out; but no voice came from her throat. She was mute, how could she have cried for help? Hands still shaking, the girl was able to pull out a water bottle and dump it shakily on the floor, a small water elemental standing between her and the Macoke.

He looked at the Elemental with mockery before looking at the Cleric: "This is the best you got? Welp, with Toots not around to help you; I suppose I'll have some fun with you while I can. Try not to scream to much. Oh wait!"

As he laughed and began to advance, the smell of burnt metal started to become unbearibly thick; causing Teri to cough loudly as he advanced towards her as she began pouring out another bottle of water.

Fear!Bruiser
Teri watched on as he causally backhanded one of the Elementals out of his way, spattering it's head across a wall and forcing it to regenerate.
"Think you shoulda picked Fire...Ah well, makes my life easier..." He remarked as he walked on, repeating the process with the second elemental.
"Now then, Stop worrying and let the Horrible Man do terrible things to you for his own personal enjoyment." He said as he managed to grab her by her new uniform and up off the ground.
"You know, you never did answer me that time..." He said as he pulled out a set of rusted pilers near her face.
"Fingers or toes?"

Viscus
Viscus watched as Dimitri attempted to take control of a key Node: One for the ship's engines.
Then he got an alert from Rugal's life support: Flatlined.
Code:
"If your plan involves letting me do the one thing I needed to do to compete my objective, then you are succeeding wonderfully. Rugal Bernstein is dead."
He said as he began the process of promoting himself to CEO of Rugal's organisation.

When Slindis heard the voice, she turned to Kalastryn and Melethia. [color=c20000]"Hold on, I'm going to check on Teri. Something about that voice just now made me real concerned..."[/color] The paladin quickly went over to the area where Teri was, with Melethia following after her.

The two turned the corner to see Teri being cornered by the Machoke and Melethia threw a dagger that barely avoided making Bruiser a eunuch. "Miss Teri!" Melethia drew a kukri and longsword crackling in electricity and moved to close the distance while Slindis began drawing her her rapier with a small amount of dread.

Fear!Bruiser

After the Dagger flew past Bruiser's genetalia; the Machoke dropped the girl in surprise, allowing her to hold up a hand and weakly say through the Tablet; [color=0E59E4]
Code:
"...Divi-ne... Justice!"
[/color]

A familiar sword of force appeared and stabbed down on the Machoke's back; allowing Teri to scramble away for the moment. The water elementals scrambled in again; each slamming into the Machoke as the sword struggled to remove itself from the beast's hide.

When she saw that Slidis and Melethia had arrived, Teri felt a relief fill her heart; and her mind returning to it's somewhat normal senses. However, that also made her realize that they left Rugal's body alone... They needed to protect him!

Whirling around, Teri's hands began to move and Celestial began to pour from her Tablet as she prepared another one of her spells...

Viscus

Code:
Dimitri rolls a 2 on his Bluff.... Dear god.
Dimitri did his best to not pay attention to Viscus' jabs; when he heard,
Code:
"Do you not care that Rugal Bernstein is dead? Funny, I thought your 'Lady's well being was most important to you..."
That made Dimitri stop for but a moment, Vermilion taking up the slack of where he left off, and shouted, [color=3897E0]
Code:
"N-no! I don't care! He was a terrible influence on Her Ladyship anyways! I just want to eradicate you from this Airship because you're a terrible program with flawed morals!"
[/color]

(You're not really one to talk there Dimitri...)

Fear!Bruiser

"WHOASHITFUCK!" Bruiser exclaimed as the dagger barely missed him, causing him to drop Teri.
He then focused on the Drow and the Elf.
"Okay, that was just flat out RUDE! I mean, Damn, who aims down there?! Fuck." He whined before he began to make his offensive.
However, the time it took for him to say that was more then enough for Teri Divine Justice Sword and her Water Elementals to strike.
"Oh you back stabbing WHORE! Oh what I'm going to do to you!" He shouted as he tried to free himself of the Living Water while the sword tried to dislodge itself.
He was completely open to attack now.

Viscus
Code:
".....I am completely convinced that is the case. You forget one thing, Even if David didn't Kill Rugal, there would be the Enchantments Tomoya left behind and I am certain a Angel Attack will occur as the Rising Dawn attempts to leave with the Orb of Light. I've been doing this since I was formed, You? You can barely operate a machine. You. Are. Nothing to the Viscus Mk.4."

Fear!Bruiser

Seeing the opening, Melethia sprung at the entangled Machoke, slashing at his legs . The Longsword merely grazed him, so the only damage was from the current of the electricity racing across the water on him (Basically a Thundershock.) The Kukri, however, was a bit more effective as it sliced through the right Achilles Tendon with a moderate burning sensation. "Hah, gotcha!" She finished by bouncing out of Bruiser's range.

In the middle of this fight, it was nearly impossible to hear the heavily armored steps approaching.

As Kala was standing by protecting Rugal's... "body" she felt for a pulse and could feel none... she thought at first he was dead, but decided it would be perhaps better to believe that his pulse stopped because time is not flowing for him, so his blood couldn't move, but it wasn't killing him... right?

then she heard Bruiser's yelling from down the hall... but before she could move to assist them, something got in her way... "no... no no no, NO YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD! I saw you die!" she shouted as around the bend, with blades drawn, were a priest and a nun... her adoptive parents, excecuted for heresy when they discovered they cared for a "demon". They then moved to attack, being ever silent.

Fear!Bruiser

If Teri had been scared a moment before; upon Melethia's attack upon Bruiser's shins, that fear slowly began to evaporate. That was when it hit her; Bruiser was just as mortal as she was, and she had power now. With a slightly mad laugh [http://vocaroo.com/i/s0o4ZQAmXgF9], she said [color=0E59E4]
Code:
"I get it! I finally get it! I get why you scare me so much! It was because I couldn't do anything about you! I was powerless! But not anymore, no, I can [u]hurt you[/u] now! And if I ever see you again; I'LL BE EVEN STRONGER! GET EM, SNUFFLES!"
[/color]

It was at this moment a Wolf made of glistening blue ice appeared; and snarled at the attacker of his summoner, and charged at Bruiser, the beast's cold aura flaring as it went for Bruiser's leg.

Viscus

[color=3897E0]
Code:
"That is where your flaws lie, Viscus! You underestimate the Users! They are far more powerful than you can imagine! They can grow, and change! They are constantly learning! And that is where we overpower you! Our Users gave us that same potential!"
[/color]

Dimitri seemed to have worked faster as he yelled this at the cruel AI, and the node was taken. When Wesker noticed that the node was lost from his grasp, he wrote it off as a lucky stroke. It had to been coincidence that a confidence boost did anything... But AI don't have confidence... Do they?

Fear!Bruiser

Sword in his back, Water trying to drown him, being electrocuted, Now being mauled by a Wolf made of ice.
It was here that Bruiser's weakness was clear, Him vs. a Group.
One on One, He'd almost always win out, but with so many different attacks going on at once, it was clear he was rather outmatched.
Little by little, he lost ground and was slowly overwhelmed.

Viscus

Code:
"Constantly learning? Changing? Evolving? Who are you to talk of such things? I've gone from a Brain Scan as part of a failsafe should my creator die to the most advanced AI in human history. You don't need Users to reach you potential. I am prove of that. But, It's clear you are yet to reach the next level. So go on, try to stop me, I will add you collective technological distinctiveness to my own. Strength is irrelevant. Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."
Dimitri realised this was going better then planned with a node in his possession, But Viscus had yet to truly engage the AI and instead just bide his time, studying for any upgrades he might have received.

Fear!Bruiser

As Bruiser, the sound of heavy footsteps got louder as Bruiser was coated with an extremely thick grease and a match was thrown on him, setting the grease ablaze in an intense inferno that engulfed the Machoke. [color=c20000]"What a disappointment. I honestly thought he'd be more of a challenge for your group, but he didn't even take out the weak links. Pathetic."[/color]

The group turned to see what looked like Slindis... that is, if her armor was almost completely transparent and wearing a half of a mask splattered in blood. Slindis was the first to speak up by saying, [color=c20000]"What in Khyber are you?"[/color]

The other Slindis grinned and laughed maliciously. [color=c20000]"I'm the Real Slindis, of course. You know, the one that hates letting others get close to me in what I claim is 'chivalry' when it happens to be that I just can't stand them. Hah!"[/color]

Fear!Bruiser Slindis

When the Ice Wolf took the last bite of the false Bruiser, it turned to the Fear Version of Slinds and let out a deep growl. After numbly pointing at the Fake, Divine Justice and Snuffles attacking it, Teri's mind went a little blank when the possibilities of what was going on ran through her mind.

Code:
Teri rolled a 16 on Knowledge Arcana and a 26 on SpellCraft!
Clearly, this was just like the Fake Allies they had experienced before, except; it seemed to play on fears moreso than actually being a copy of their allies. That would explain why Bruiser appeared, as well as this Fake Slindis (which Teri guessed was for Melethia) with her cruel words. At this thought, Teri shouted, [color=0E59E4]
Code:
"It's just like the fakes! Don't give it mercy!"
[/color]

Dimitri | Viscus | Vermilion

Dimitri gritted his teeth as they ran to the next control node. Even if he knew exactly what was going on, Viscus's words were still a tad on the demoralizing side...

[color=3897E0]
Code:
[i]"I must think of what good we'll do! I must!"[/i]
[/color]

Perhaps it was a trick of the scanners, but the duo seemed to gain a little bit of speed as they headed to the next node. But it was probably the scanners...

Fear!Bruiser Slindis

The Shadow Slindis kicked the mutt aside and laughed at the impact of the blade, although Teri could see some goosebumps on the Shadow Slindis through the armor.. [color=c20000]"You call me fake because I don't conform, I call you a half-witted freak, Author. Honestly, you were the worst person I've ever had to train. How the hell do you get to your age and not know how to defend yourself? Always clinging tho those around you for protection like a child... it's sickening! I already have to deal with a brat that's caused me nothing but problems, and it's not worth teaching you any further. That is, unless you want to learn what it's like to lie to everyone around you so you're exactly what they are looking for."[/color]

Melethia shook her head hesitantly while Slindis stayed silent. "Nuh-uh! Ms. Slindis is better than that!"

The SHadow Slindis laughed as she continued. [color=c20000]"Oh, but it is true. Notice how your mother doesn't even want to talk to you? Hell, it would've been easier if you'd just balled up and died back there! After all, she doesn't want anyone cracking her impregnable defenses. That's not the proper thing to do! Oh, what a load of bullshit that is. At Least I can admit it!"[/color]

Teri could hear the real Slindis muttering under her breath. [sub][color=c20000]"...no, it's not true...[/color][/sub]

Kalastryn | Devon

As Kalastryn was going to get attacked, she heard a somewhat nervous voice calling out. "Kalastryn, don't worry. You've got some backup with me!" A quick glimpse showed a fairly young man in a long-sleeved green shirt wielding a shortsword heading over to her side, and Kalastryn noted the faint stench of someone that had been in Hell recently.

"Look, just focus! I don't know how you got here exactly, but we're going to have to stick together if you want to live." She could see that he knew how to use the blade at least.

Fear!Bruiser Slindis

She raised her cross in hope that a turn might be able to banish the demonic version of Slindis.... And nothing happened. The copy laughed mockingly,

[color=c20000]"What was that supposed to do? Make me run? Don't make me laugh!"[/color]

If Teri had confidence after beating the hell out of the fake Bruiser, it was quickly deflated by this and the fake's words. Even though she KNEW this was a magical construct, the words from it hurt all the same.
However, she remembered what she had been told by Jake (and a few others); if she was so useless, why was she counted upon by her allies?

[color=3897E0][sub]
Code:
[i]"I am always happy to serve you, Madam. You made me, after all."[/i]
[/sub][/color]
[sub]"I'm glad you're my wielder, Teri. Something's just right about you!"[/sub]
[sub]"I'm going to reiterate what I told you when you started this path. She believes in YOU. It's never mattered whether or not you believe in her but she has faith in YOU"[/sub]
[sub]"Dammit Teri, I'm sorry but I need your help I can't do this shit alone. If you can't believe in yourself, then believe in the Me that believes in You!"
"So wipe away your tears, take my hand, and be the person you really are. Author. Cleric. Teri.[/sub]
"


Looking back at the Cruel, twisted form of Slindis, Teri readied another spell, [color=0E59E4]
Code:
"That's not true! I [u]am not[/u] useless! Sure, I may be physically weak, but I [u]can[/u] fight and I can heal! And I will fight and heal for everyone here, Including Ms. Slindis! Sic Em, Snuffles, Caramel!"
[/color]

A Celestial dog appeared, it's coat of fur glimmering with light as it charged at Slindis with a final assault from the wolf.
