"AND THERE YOU HAVE IT! HE HAS SURRENDERED! YOUR BATTLE! IS LOST! YOUR WAR! IS OVER!" Rugal shouted while off screen prompting his "Supporting Cast" to cheer in time with his Speech as the camera panned over them, covered in Angel blood.

"NOW, AS FOR THE REST OF YOU! YOU MURDERERS! YOU SCOUNDRELS! YOU USELESS YES MEN! OUR ALLIES WILL BRING YOU TO THE HANGER BAY TO RENDER YOUR JUDGEMENT!" [HEADING=2]"NOW GO! SURRENDER YOURSELVES! FOR THE END OF YOUR DAYS! HAS! ARRIVED!"[/HEADING]

"...And CUT! That's a wrap people!"

[/color] Dimitri said, getting into the fun as his avatar sat in a directors chair as he cut the feed.

After his acting session, Rugal double checked the gun was unable to fire (Read: Smashed the controls a second time) before saying "All Rising Dawn to my position...I know you are all tried and beaten, but so is he. He bleeds too. Therefore, he dies too." over the rings, beckoning everyone to his location.
Taking a seat and grabbing a drink, he catched his breath after his roaring rave in front of everyone.

Hostile Angels

Broken, Battered and defeated, the Angels loyal to the Dark Demon Prince reported to the Hanger, escorted by the resistance Angels to be cured of their corruption.
Movement around the entire ship was now free as no-one dared to raise an arm against the "Victors" of this war.

Phoenix Nemesis

The Nemesis did his best to smile despite his mutant form at Stella, this must have been hard for her.
Writing down again:
"Look, if you want, I can make you a legal human being, not "Property".
Also, Dani: I will never assist you in anything, but...thank you...for everything..."
It was clear that the events here was the best thing to happen to phoenix for a long time.

Looking over to Soul he "Said" {Eh, guess that body will be a while anyway, I guess I could go for a game or 2}.
Thus, he set himself up to Duel.

 

[mcpop9]

"No, it's ok Pheonix. I know you'll be nice to me and will treat me well. I'm fine with it in all seriousness." she said to him then looked over to Soul and her eye began to twitch.

Souls entire body language had changed, he looked insane, yet composed and confident. The straps on his jacket had come undone and he looked like a true evil villain. His voice also sounded deeper and more evil as well. "Well, well, well. Seems the Dog finally accepts the challenge. Prepare to fight Mutant Dog!" he said and drew his seven cards.

With a smirk He placed a card into the field slot. "I play Magic Citadel of Endymion!" he said and the entire room seemed to disappear as they were now in the courtyard of a magical citadel.

Spoiler: card

Then he placed a card face-down in the Trap/spell card area before summoning a monster. "I summon Defender, The Magical Knight! in defense position." he said and with a burst of wind, the knight was standing before them, roughly the same height as Phoenix.

Spoiler: card

The knights armor clinked with the cobble stone floor as he levitated down and stood there. He seemed as real as the world they now stood in, the warm sun beading down on Stella and Phoenix. "And i end my turn."

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Phoenix Nemesis

{....Now that's just rude...} Phoenix groaned as he attempted to find some cards he could play against Soul but finding none.
With a confused look on his face he asked "memesis...ned...carrs..." (Nemesis Need Cards) clear enough for Soul to understand him.
He hoped the young man would be kind enough to lend him a deck of his own.
In his search, he picked up a reasonably clean sheet from one of the other chairs and draped it over Stella to protect her modesty.

After the last of them fled, Devon took a seat for a much-needed breather. Even though that illusion had paid off big-time, he knew that if he had slipped up for even a moment, the illusion would have been revealed for what it was. That kind of stress after the fact would eat at anyone, really.

"Water, coffee, tea... I don't really care what it is, I need a drink here." As he plopped down in a chair, Rugal could see that the stress from pulling off that kind of illusion had worn him down, or perhaps it had been making it so believable that wore him out.

Tajuh checked up on the others there, satisfied that the ragtag group for the most part had come so far for this. There was still the issue of Dark Tommoya, but they had the momentum on their side.

Teri, Melethia, Shaun, Slindis, Storm, Misc. Angels

As they neared the Command Center, Slindis and Melethia asked Teri the same question at the exact time. [color=c20000]"What's [/color]Christmas?"

 

[mcpop9]

"No cards you silly mutant. This is a battle." he said and drew another card. "I summon Breaker, The Magical Warrior!" he said and played the card in attack mode.

Spoiler: card

He smirked. "Attack My Warrior!" he ordered and the knight charged forward and was soon infront of Nemesis. He took his Rapier and sliced down at Phoenix's tentacle, aiming to chop it off.

When the tension broke, Caim called for a glass of wine, if it was avaliable. With the first hurdles cleared, it'd be a nice post-battle victory before taking on Tomoya. Settling in a chair, the warrior held out a hand for his draconic companion to join him, to which the dragon rolled her eyes; and pulled up a chair of her own. Perhaps if they were in more private company, she would have accepted the invitation. Here, among battle compatriots and the like; the dragon still felt the need to keep up her image, however flimsy it was.

Teri, Melethia, Shaun, Slindis, Storm, Misc. Angels


[color=c20000]"What's [/color]Christmas?"

The Cleric's face fell slightly upon hearing that question, but after reassuring herself that the two came from a universe where her God wasn't worshiped, began an explanation about the holiday:

[color=0E59E4]

"Well, generally speaking, Christmas is about gathering together family and loved ones together and celebrating that bond that all of you share. There's some religious connotations involved as well, as it's the Christian day of celebrating the birth of an avatar of the Christian God; even if there's still stuff up in the air as to whether it was really his birthday or not. But, you don't have to be Christian to enjoy it! Different people do different things; like decorating the house and cooking certain foods. There's all sorts of stuff you do! But the biggest tradition was the gift exchange on the day of. Essentially, everybody buys each others; and in my case I often made things, for one another and the presents would be wrapped up in colorful paper. They were really quite pretty to look at at times..."

[/color]

As she talked about all these things, she had Dimitri bring up various images of Christmas related paraphernalia, trees, tinsel, and the like littering the screen as she talked about these things. Of course, Slindis noticed that Teri's expression edged towards the melancholy as she spoke of these things, but she continued,

[color=0E59E4]

"However, what I always remember the most was the stress that went into it. Getting the presents for everyone, mocking up the tree, cleaning the house before relatives arrived. I actually kind of hated it from time to time. But now... I... I feel a little petty for thinking that way; especially when-"

[/color]

She stopped there, but shook her head, even when her eyes looked a little wet, [color=0E59E4]

"Heh heh, I'm sorry! I'm making it sound horrible! Really, it's meant to be a day to celebrate family and kinship, I promise! I guess talking about it just reminds me of home when I'm talking about it!"

[/color]

 

[Orinon]

Dillon shook his head; he tentatively put his hand on Teri's shoulder.
"Are you alright? Can you pull through we're almost at the end? I don?t want to seem rude but," Dillon let out a sigh.
"I'd prefer if we could finish this then I can find out my fate afterwards."
That was all Dillon could admit but the others could tell he had doubts, what he didn?t let on was that if these were the only heroes around then he could forget trying to be a hero, the heroes of the Rising Dawn, of HIS Rising Dawn, would cast him out in a second.
He readied his swords.
"Sometimes I don't know if the world is worth saving these days."

 

[mcpop9]

Dillon felt another note slip into his pocket.

Spoiler: The Note

"If the world is not worth living for, then suggest finding the reason in your wife and two kids who would go great with salsa. Anyways, she screams like a banshee whenever I fill her head with visions of her baby's mutilated corpses.

Oh, and then there's the crying and whimpering, your name just being spewed endlessly. "Dillon oh Dillon! Where are you save me Dillon!" She whimpers out after I beat her to near death. The kids are still unborn so I still might have the chance to play piñata with her body; HIT IT HARD ENOUGH AND SEE WHAT FALLS OUT!" The note read.

"So, I hope you live on, be ause after a while ill get bored and I impersonate her and torture you that way. Then I'll just get rid of her existence entirely and make you forget she ever existed. There's a picture of her after one of our latest sessions included in the envelope. Toodles."

"-Nya" it finished.

Included with the note was a picture of the fully pregnant Amaya, battered, bruised cut and bleeding from her mouth, nose and one ear. Her eyes were lookig up at the camera with desperation and fear, like she didn't want to be hurt again.

There was a dark and evil laugh that filled Dillon's head when the hands retracted, leaving the note there.

Unfortunately, there was no drink to be found in this room as the imps continued tearing apart the electrical systems. Thus, Devon hesitantly got up and kneeled down by Ton-Ton and taled to him with a somewhat dry voice. "Man, Ton-TOn, you're always getting dirty. LStill, that's why I'm here to clean you up." He cast the Prestidigation again, quickly cleaning up the Tonberry and leaving him with a light tingling from the magic.

Devon casts a Prestidigation, Cleaning Ton-TOn up! 18 seconds before the next level 0 spell, 6 before the next level 1 spell.

Teri, Melethia, Shaun, Slindis, Storm, Misc. Angels

The Cleric shimmied away from Dillon's touch immediately and closer to Garm's muzzle as Slindis chatted to Teri on the last leg of the journey. [color=c20000]"This festival sounds like it has much in common with Tirasday, so perhaps we could celebrate it next time it comes up? I'll look at the calendar for here to make sure, though."[/color]

After that statement, she turned her attention to Dillon with more than a bit of anger in her voice. [color=c20000]"You honestly think that you and you alone can make the call on whether this world is worth saving? Really? What do you say to the billions of people when you eventually die if you say no? 'I'm sorry, but your life wasn't worth it?' Tira, the more that you talk, the more you show what kind of man you are! And to think that until recently, you were the captain of the Rising Dawn? Honestly!"[/color]

Spoiler: Orinon

To give this some context, Slindis' entire home plane was destroyed and that isn't something that fades away easily. I know there's no way that he could have known this, but she isn't pulling that anger out of the blue.

 

[Orinon]

Teri, Melethia, Shaun, Slindis, Storm,Dillon, Misc. Angels

Dillon read the note seeing that picture imagining what horrors his wife and kids were enduring something snapped he fell to his knees hands clutching his head. Slindis's words Didn;t really Reach DIllon because the note had caught his attention.
Dillon's turmoil was harsh they could see his aura flicker as if something was consuming him.
His aura changed, they couldn't tell what it was before something that they would later learn (if they looked with open eyes) was an aura of good, changed to a sadistic cruel aura of malice, his hair became Raven Black his eyes no longer blue but yellow with slits for pupils and elongated canines.
A laugh escaped his insanely grinning lips.
"He licked his lips.
"It's been a while since I was free, (giggles insanely to himself), Poor chap must really be losing his mind, can?t really blame him when everyone wants a piece of you it's hard to keep it together."
He laughed like a hyena.
"But your no fun to play with perhaps there's someone else I can hurt, I'd love to watch them bleed and make them look while I cut them into little pieces.
He laughed insanely and flew down a corridor looking for prey, looking to hunt.

Teri, Melethia, Shaun, Slindis, Storm, Misc. Angels

As soon as Dillon fled off threatening to attack others there, Slindis immediately went to the ring and communicated with the rest of the Rising Dawn. [color=c20000]"Attention all members of the Rising Dawn: Dillon has gone rampant. Subdue if possible, but be warned: he is out for blood. If it comes down to it, keep in mind that you only get one life!"[/color]

Team Wrecking Ball

Slin's warning came in to everyone there, and Tajuh called out to everyone there. "Everyone, on guard. Dillon's likely headed here. Rugal, from your chat in the Hangar, you've dealt with him before in a fight. Should anyone else know ways to take him down, bring it up now. Remember: we're the only people stopping Dark Tomoya."

 

[bluerocker]

Teri, Melethia, Shaun, Slindis, Storm, Dillon, Misc. Angels

When Dillon changed into his alternate self, Teri couldn't help but roll her eyes and mutter, [color=0E59E4]

"[small]Oh for fuck's sake...[/small]"

[/color] as her fingers flew over the keyboard of her tablet. Feeling some of her energy being suddenly cut from her being, she shuddered visibly as a hail of tranquilizer darts flew Dillon's way, several sinking into his skin as others clattered harmlessly on the floor. When the winged man twisted around to see who the perpetrator was, he found that his movements were far more sluggish than normal; and then... Darkness took his vision as his body slumped to the floor.

Teri patted her wolf gently on the head, and 'said', [color=0E59E4]

"Let's go boy. I'm pretty sure at least one of those hit. [small]Why do I do that to myself... I [u]hate[/u] making weaponry...[/small] Dimitri; scan ahead for signs of life, and let us know if you pick up Dillon..."

[/color]

[color=3897E0]

"Will do Madam.. And try not to Write in too many weapons in the future. It's not good for your health."

[/color]

Teri, Melethia, Shaun, Slindis, Storm,Dillon, Misc. Angels

Dillon fell into uncouncousness, his body began to change back, his hair very quickly became its normal dirty blonde, if one could see his teeth or eyes they would also be reverting back to normal.
The tranquelizers were low power as Teri Didn;t want anything to potent on due to her constraints, Dillon woke uo a few minutes later when he did he realized he was screwed. he slammed his fist into a wall.
"Good job DIllon now they're gonna hunt you down and possibly kill you.'
he sighed He looked at teh picture again instead of anger it brought tears to his eyes.
"Im so sorry" he curled up leaning against a wall and cried. his sobs echoed off the walls, making pinpointing him an easy task.

 

[bluecrimson]

Teri, Melethia, Shaun, Slindis, Storm, Dillon, Misc. Angels

Slindis heard the cries and quickly led the way to the sobbing Dillon, calling to him while Melethia kept her hands on her equipment.

[color=c20000]"Dillon. Get up. You've the energy to do that, do you not?"[/color] Although the Drow's voice was extremely stern, she hadn't gone and attacked the man yet, which was definitely a good sign for him,

[color=c20000]"The fact that you lost control was certainly troubling, but you did not shed any blood from that near rampage. So tighten your bootstraps, get yourself together, and focus, for Tira's sake! We don't have time to keep wasting on you here, and we still have to get rid of the corrupted Tomoya."[/color]

Melethia called to her mom. "Mom, why the heck aren't we attacking him here? He's tried to attack us multiple times!"

Slindis turned back to her daughter. [color=c20000]"There's the key word: tried. Although he has a disturbing lack of control over his emotions, the fact remains that we shouldn't be attacking allies. Defending yourself is perfectly fine, but that's as far as it goes. Assaulting them for no other reason than you not liking them is extremely shortsighted, and it quickly winds up with having absolutely nobody at your side. I'm sure Captain Cage told you about that while you were on the Banshee, didn't he?"[/color]

The girl glowered at Dillon, but she didn't go and attack the man for now. If he decided to lash out at them again, though, she wouldn't be holding back.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal

[color=c20000]"Attention all members of the Rising Dawn: Dillon has gone rampant. Subdue if possible, but be warned: he is out for blood. If it comes down to it, keep in mind that you only get one life!"[/color]
Rugal's eye's narrowed as he heard that and he answered "I warned him...I'm en route..." before making his way towards the scene of the situation.

As Slindis defused the situation, he arrived in time to re-ignite it.
"Dillon, What the hell is this?! You've been back less then an hour and you already lashed out at us twice! Now I don't care what sob story it is this time, but it can wait until Tomoya is taken down..."
He then paused as he thought about the disabled weapon.

"....In fact, you can leave now if you want. with his Weapon offline and his army pacified, Tomoya's threat as been neutralized for the most part. Even if he somehow manages to get past us, there are plenty of men out there ready to take him down. He isn't leaving here a free man. Now either get out of our hair or falling into line. We are not dealing with this again. Understood?"
Phoenix Nemesis

Nemesis stood still as the blade stuck him, taking off a handful of his tentacles and a few fingers.
He glanced at the Warrior with a disgusted look.
{....You did not just do that...Did he just do that?!} He "said" to Soul and Stella, starting to realize what kind of game he was going to play with them.
{....Oh....You want to hurt me?....} "WAL TA HIL WIT TAT!" (WELL TO HELL WITH THAT!) He roared as the duelist as this fight got underway.

Spoiler: Card

Keen to extract revenge, he reached his hand out to his side and shot out several tentacles to grab his Rocket Launcher.
He took aim and fired and Breaker, The Magical Warrior, was blown away, his helmet rolling on the ground to the feet of Defender, un-nerving him.
{....Your turn...} He growled, clearly displeased.

 

[Orinon]

Dillon heard Rugal's words, some part of him wanted to agree to leave, but something about Rugal giving him orders just angered him. his wings reformed and he flared up floatuing a few inches above the ground hius eyes were intense.
"I'm not leaving until Tomoya is dealt with you seem to forget that he's an archangel no wait if he turned he's a Demonic Prince, I was a fraction of that kind of power and I threatened the world, he's too dangerous to be left alive. Now lead the way so I can meet an old friend."

As the heroes dealt with the renegade, a voice could be heard singing along with the sounds regular gunfire and explosions. "All the Dreams we were building......." The group soon heard cries of agony from a distant hallway, each being abruptly silenced in a slight yet regular rhythm. "We never fulfilled them.......". "PLEASE! I HAVE A FAMI-"- The pleas were silenced by a burst if shotgun fire. "Could be better, Should be better......" "WE SURRENDE-" The last scream was stopped with what could be a flame grenade, they hoped anyway.


The doors slammed open, revealing a the silhouette of a man in a Wizard's Hat, shotgun at side. It was Fionn, holding a sack over his shoulder, and a foot-long sub in his left hand. He kicked the last angel to the floor before placing a shell to her head, he looked up at the ensemble. ".....What?"

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Rugal

About time... Rugal thought as Dillon looked like he was about to go to war.
"Good...Now stop trying kill us, plenty of time for in-fighting after Tomoya's been dealt with." He said as Fionn walked in.
"...Seeing to the Surrendered, I see..." He snarked as he stared at the man a-
"...Where did you find a Foot-long?..." He bluntly asked, quickly forgetting about Dillon.

 

[bluecrimson]

Teri, Melethia, Shaun, Slindis, Storm, Dillon, Fionn, Rugal


Slindis looked at Fionn killing the Angels without restraint and made a note to talk to him about thins when they got out of the ship. [color=c20000]"Fionn, I do not mean to lecture you, but you do realize that they've surrendered, right?"[/color] She was also making it a point to keep clear of Dillon, as he was still highly unstable in her eyes. Considering all the mood swings the man had gone through in the short amount of time that she'd already known him, it amazed her that the Rising Dawn had lasted as long as it had under his care.

Melethia, however, seemed a good deal happier to see Fionn. "Mister Fionn, how's that gauntlet working for you? I'm sure it's protected ya well!" The elf pointed to the silver and purple gauntlet that Fionn was wearing, and it appeared to have hardly been damaged.
