Dani smirked, she gave a twist of the hammer and it broke free. Dani charged him and the two connected. Dani's hammer wasn't glowing anymore and the sphere in RM's hand was gone. There were facing away from each other now, frozen in the sky.

Red Mage twitched because of the shock from the hammer, but Dani's body fell from the sky. She was spiraling down towards the ground, gaining more and more speed with each passing second.

double vision?

The grabbed onto Dani with his construct arms and heaved her with him back to the Rising Dawn. They landed in the giant hole in the nosecone, and the mage in red let her down. Yet something overtook the mage, a sense of bloodlust or jealousy he could not say. With a fell swoop from his hands, he removed her wings from her back and tossed them out of the airship. Then the mage in red walked deep into the ship, seeking the Canteen to refuel.

 

[bluerocker]

Deep Stuff...

Legna dodged another attack from an imp, the demon now attacking an afterimage of himself, and destroyed it with a blue fireball. He then sent back; "You are right when you say the ship is full of fools. However, they have their uses. We can use them as soldiers for this conflict, and to finish this fight. I will continue to use the strength a pact gives in order to make Inuart a pawn in my claws. He is not my master anymore...

Furthermore, the Flight has already established a home here; and they want to lay their eggs. I cannot uproot them now. Even if I wanted too, I do not have the means to take them to another planet, so I shall fight fight for them and defend this world. For the first time in my life; I have something I want to have, and it is in my grasp! I will save them! I must! Even if I die, if it were to preserve them; I would do it gladly! Now, enough talk! There are demons to destroy; and little time before their master sends more..."

With that, the dragon flapped his wings hard and forced himself further up in the air. When he reached a desired height, runes began to glow and shift around his neck.

 

[NotYetForsaken]

Quite

Red mage caught the protein bar in his hand and burned the wrapper off with fire. He took a bite, chewing it slowly, "The lady knight doth speak so much, yet you yourself are not shedding the daemons blood."

"I was working on the cherubs invading this ship," Gabrielle replied, "weren't you confident in your abilities to fight earlier?"

The mage finished the bar and picked up some venison strips from the refrigerator, "The mage in red is still confident, but tired after betrayal. Old memories do flood back at times like these." The Ruby Die glowed softly, almost wickedly, "I will be in the fight once my magick regenerates. Even the ruby die cannot amplify nothing, and Shamanism drains my power more than all other forms."

 

[mcpop9]

not for long! major arteries connected to wings now open and pumping blood outside of the body. you're not living for much longer.

meet Mr. God-Emperor of Mankind, he certainly likes RM right now.

Dani's body had lay there for a few minutes, dead from the loss of blood and shock of loosing her wings. Yet despite this minor inconvenience , her body got up from someone else's will. Her body seemed zombie like, paler than casper the ghost and most of the upper half of her body hanging limp. She began making her way to the canteen, following the two before her.

Gabriel noticed Dani's body with a surprised look on her face, RM was none less surprised. He had just torn off the girl's wings. "You're up already, i knew you were tough, but..."

Thats when they noticed how pail she was, and the complete and utter lack of life her body displayed.

Then Dani spoke, but her voice seemed to have a male voice, powerful and commanding underneath it. "You shall hand over the die, or be struck down by this body. I have touched her with the warp to make you atone for the great sins you have committed against humanity. She shall cripple your body if you do not comply, as to leave you to torture."

 

[NotYetForsaken]

And here I thought she would stay dead.

RM looked at Dani, a piece of dried venison hung from his lips. He chewed slowly and his eyes were half closed in quiet disbelief. "You know," the Mage in Red began as his hand unfastened the Ruby Die, "I don't see why everyone is so interested in my trinket." He tossed the die up into the air and caught it, "if you insist on trying to have her kill me, do not blame me for when you die in the crossfire."

The Ruby Die glowed strongly and Red Mage smiled, Dani had naught an Astral body, but this Emperor of Humanity certainly did. He had a big fat soul. "In any case," he held out his right hand with the die between his index finger and thumb.

"Ra Tilt"

 

[NotYetForsaken]

Is that so.

The mage straightened and turned to Gabrielle, "Lecture me all you want, but know that I did not betray this team nor the people of the world. A hundred million souls lie in my grasp, and they do my bidding. Would rather you have these claimed by a Daemon's claw and turned into twisted monstrosities that will without a doubt rampage the Earth in due time.

These people were fated to become mine, for there is nothing that can escape predestination. My Lord, the Lord of Nightmares, has freed me from such bounds. It is in chaos that I endure so that all of the world may be one day free of the meddling of Angels or Daemons.

Humans who live their lives so fully, who fight to live to the very end. Those who exist between the light and dark are the gift of this world. It is my duty, my fate to defy fate. For all things wish to return to chaos, all things want to return to my Lord. For even fate dies.

You will realize in time that everything that has happened to you is a crime of things greater than your comprehension. Then you will rage against the smug bastards in heaven. Only then do you realize the importance of my quest."

The mage in red turned toward the food once again, "excuse the ramblings of an old magician. But listen well, a magician will never lie."

 

[mcpop9]

last post for the night.

"These strings are far too bound in faith for that trick to work." He said as Dani's body was lit up in the blue fire, nothing happening. With that, Dani's body began to have a soft golden glow. Her eyes soon became beams of golden light along with every other opening of her body. Soon she was engulfed in the light and was too blinding to look at.

But during this, her body reshaped itself, wings grew back and soon armor took form. Her body levitated in the air as she took on her new form.

Spoiler: LARGE IMAGE

Dani was soon on the ground kneeling, praying to the emperor, thanking him for this new form. Red Mage could tell this form was powerful, but just how? he decided to find out. HE sent one of his hands at her, maximum force and found it was shattered by an aura of faith before it could touch her.

Dani stood up, her new form and its golden/black armor glowing in all of its glory. The powersword in her right hand was set ablaze with a holy flame, meant to punish the heretics and sinners. "Holy fire!" her voice shouted, having a holy sort of echo to it. She slammed the sword into the ground, a stream of golden fire blazing at red mage, sending him and his chair back, through the hull and plummeting out of the Rising Dawn.

Spoiler: ooc

Not god modding, just not trapping your character in frozen time waiting on me.

 

[bluerocker]

He never commanded him. What Ha Long does is of his own accord

Before the new enemies arrived

Legna sent a quick thought of thanks; and the attack by Ha Long upon the Balrog allowed the black dragon to unleash his magic attack; destroying what was left of the squadron of imps as the ribbons of magic weaved and tore into the imps.

"You have my thanks. Now, are there any left?"

[hr]lalalala[/hr]

Caim finally came down from his laughter, shoulders still shaking from the spiel and smile still plastered over his bloodstained face. Placing Hymir's Finger back into the wheel, Caim slung Blade's good arm over his shoulder and wandered about; calling to Angelus.

[hr]Lo Angie![/hr]

As the Cherubs finally fell from being dispatched, Angelus' head shot up when she heard Caim's call, "Hmn... Blade's injured. Let's go, Kurumu. There's safety in numbers..."

[hr]And another transition![/hr]

Inuart only glanced at the carnage around him with a expression that showed boredom and disdain. "I did not come here to fight spawn of an unholy being. I came to find Furiae's detractors... Damn that dragon and his tongue! Caim is lucky I actually follow through with honorable requests, or I'd have run him through. *sigh* They say good things come to those who wait, but I'm getting impatient."

 

[NotYetForsaken]

Eh.

RM was caught by surprise and nearly choked on his food while trying to cast levitate. In the end he had to spear the Airship with his arms and rappel back toward the wreck of a craft. His true hands fastened the die to his belt.

"That was... unexpected," he muttered, "a faith so strong is a devotion only one without free mind can give. Nevertheless,

Darkness beyond blackest pitch,
you who shine like gold among a sea of chaos.
Lord of dreams that terrify,
give me your blessing.

O, a piece of the Greatest Lord,
Free thine self from heavens bonds,
O blade from the cold, dark void,
Become one with my power,
one with my body,
And let us walk this path of destruction together,
And shatter even the souls of Gods!"

The Ragna Blade reformed in his hands, larger than last time. The blackness extended far into the sky, crackling with unrefined energies. He swung hard, the gargantuan sword cleaved even into the Rising Dawn, nearly bisecting down the side. His blade of chaos and darkness caught against Dani's aura of holyness. There was resistance, but the Ragna Blade began to cut into the light.

 

[Sithmorack]

Shadow was sitting there casually sipping some vodka when a large shadow like blade cut through part of the ship into his think box. It cut right past him..... but destroyed his vodka in the process. Shadow sat there not saying a word.... his hand twitched a bit. "[color=484890]Master.... are you.... ok?[/color]" Taytum asked a bit nervous, she had never seen her master like this before. Shadow stood up and said in a completely flat tone "transform.... NOW" Taytum instantly transformed. Shadow began to climb up the hole or slice to wherever it had come from. Once he got to the top he stood there looking at the three of them. He saw that Red Mage had a shadow sword. He slowly walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. Red Mage turned around to see Shadow with sword in hand and twitching a bit. "you..... destroyed my vodka....." he said coldy. He then punched Red Mage in the face hard, and sent him flying about 15 feet. Shadow began to slowly walk towards Red Mage....

 

[NotYetForsaken]

Damn Russians.

Red Mage touched his head tenderly, the impact zone had already begun to bruise, and the angry Russian was walking toward him in tranquil fury. The mage in red stood up, the Ragna Blade had faded back into oblivion.

"Have you any idea what you are doing?" RM asked angrily, "it was vodka, get another one. Risking the end of all things over a drink is stupidity on the scale of jellyfish."

The Red Mage clapped his hands together.

"Heed me now, thou who is darker than dusk,
Heed that which is more red than blood,
In the name of that which has been buried in the bottomless abyss of time eternal,
I summon thee, Master of the ultimate darkness,
Have no pity on the fools who stand in our way,
Infuse me with power; let your strength become mine
to wipe them from the face of this earth
to deliver unto them the ultimate doom"

The Ruby Die at his hip glowed furiously.

"AMPLIFIED DRAGON SLAVE!"

An explosion rocked the entire ship, or what was left of it as a great beam of fiery light tore out of the side and streaked toward the horizon. By some sheer luck it struck a Balrog in the face and the second explosion filled the skies with hot fire. The clouds themselves split to make way for the ball of energy, and dust billowed outwards from the ground.

It was almost like a hundred megaton nuke had just gone off.

Spoiler: OOC

I rolled a 20, I'm doing the most stupidly excessive thing possible.

 

[Sithmorack]

Shadow tried to remain standing but fell to his knees to keep some balance. "TRANSFORM" Shadow said, and Taytum transformed into a gun that shadow quickly grabbed and aimed at Red Mage. He fired a few shots but with the whole ship rocking he was missing quite a bit. One bullet manage to hit the Mage in the leg and tore it clean off. "Vodka is very special to me.... plus you destroyed the last bottle on this aircraft..." he replied to Red Mage as he tried to make his way to him.

 

[bluerocker]

Okie dokie!

Legna nodded in recognition to the oncoming storm Ha Long reported, and steeled himself for the next wave.

[hr]afoj[/hr]

Angelus gave a sigh of relief as Cadolbolg approached them, and gave the turtle a little scratch on the head.

"Hello, little one. So far, we're all in one piece... Hmn? Ah! Caim commends your efforts against the coming enemy. He thinks you're doing well to keep yourself safe. What we're doing now is getting to the Med Bay. One of our number was injured, and apparently, some of the enemy is venomous."

As she said all this, she sent a thought to Caim, "I heard you earlier... Is everything alright?"

"Pfft. I'm fine, dragon. I haven't 'broken' like you fear. I do not emulate the 'sentimental fool' that's on this ship with us."

The dragon broke off the 'conversation' with Caim, and motioned for Cadolbolg to follow them to the Med Bay. As they walked, she thought off what Kurumu had mentioned, and fervently hoped that was not coming to pass for the mute swordsman. The last thing she needed was another broken madman running amok.

 

[NotYetForsaken]

And I thought Lina was the Goddess of disproportional retribution.

RM cringed as he grabbed his bloody leg and reattached it. The anger in Shadow was beyond measure in mortal terms. Or rather the dedication to killing was beyond rational comprehension.

"AQUA CREATE!"

Water spilled forth into the empty Canteen, and overflowed out of the airship. Next the Red Mage held his hands out and a transmutation circle formed in the air in front of him. The water glowed brightly and then subsided as the mage transmuted some of the Carbon Dioxide and Water into Vodka alcohol.

"Is that enough for you," the mage in red asked, "we have more pressing matters to attend to." He looked at Dani floating in mid air, still channeling the power of her god.

 

[Sithmorack]

".... You are forgiven" Shadow muttered as he grabbed a bottle and filled it. He then sat in the corner of the room and watched.

 

[Sithmorack]

Shadow had just finished the bottle of vodka and was walking out of the room. Just then a hellhound walk around the corner and barked at him. It the. Lunged at him, but since shadow had no need for the empty bottle he just bashed it over the bounds head knocking it to the floor. Shadow just signed as he grabbed a piece of glass and slit the hounds throat. Just to make sure it was dead he took a grenade out pulled the pin shoved it in its mouth and walked away. Several seconds later the dog exploded.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Snip

Caim and Angelus began cutting though the re-enforcements on their way to the Med Bay, The poison in Blade's system growing worse with each step.
Fortunately for them, Caim more then made up for the slack in terms of kill count.
He propped himself against a wall while Caim cleared the next room.
Great....Hell is breaking open and I'm the guy who gets wounded....Tsh, Elite Strider my ass... He thought as the venom flowed though his body.

Snip

Snip

Jenny and Crona some managed to re-group with Angelus, Caim, Kurumu and Blade, Jenny un-touched by the buckets of blood being thrown around thanks to her powers.
She quickly picked up on Blade's condition and ran to his side.
"Blade! Come on, you aren't going to die now!" She commanded as she took his shoulder and helped him along as Caim motioned that the room was clear.

Snip

Snip

David was quick to make the most of this apparent lull between waves of enemies, checking his weapons and ammo stocks.
"3 shells, 2 clips....Great..." He lied as the Hellhounds came in force, at this rate, he would have to beat them to death.

 

[Sgt_Jakeman214]

Didn't you know dead men tell no tails?

"Aftan?" Akane whispered.

"Apologies for my lateness. Have I missed much?" Asked Grand Master Aftan al Said with a wry smile.

Akane grabbed Gabrielle's hand, dragging the Knight to her feet as she grabbed Aftan and brought all three girls into a big embrace. Akane cried openly, great heaving sobs.

"You died! You left me! You left US! S-s-s-stupid P-Phoenix. Y-y-y-you c-could have t-told me! Waaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"
