Red Mage frowned, "Once teammates, once sane. You would do such things against someone working only to benefit mankind?" The mage in red took a step backwards and placed his hand on the Ruby Die.
"And all of mankind shall perish because of you?"
RM turned toward his right and jumped backwards, landing on top of Viscus' metal body. Debora sat atop a mountain of rubble, blue robes flowing in the post-storm breeze, "even the Eternal Beasts have severed their contracts with you. Your god turns you away."
Richardson and the remnants of UNIT circled the area, weapons drawn.
Red Mage raised his staff defensively against the Reaper, the Kitsune, the Golem, and the Human forces. He backed up even more, jumping past the sinkhole that Bruiser was crawling out of.
Red Mage muttered under his breath,
"Shadows unbound and unfurled,
darkness that transcends the light.
Vastness unknowable by might of man-
[color=sky blue]"DAMU BRAS!"[/color]
The earth underneath RM exploded in a array of dazzling fire. The mage himself was launched high into the air. Debora was standing now, the old leatherbound tome in her hand.
"Mr. Richardson! Open fire!" Debora turned to the Reaper and the Kitsune, "you two and anyone else who can! Attack!"
Red Mage held his hands together in front of him in a ball, and created a shield fromthe unbreakable constructs. Come steel or magic, he had to hold out until the last souls had finished trickling in.
"For Queen and Country Lads! FIRE!" Richardson ordered as all his remaining men unloaded their rifles at RM's Shield, He himself picking one up and joining in.
It didn't seem to have any effect though.
As a battle began to rage, Our Villains hid behind cover, unable to leave due to the on-going fire fight and for fear of being dragged into it.
Wesker and Bison leapt into the sewers where Bruiser was, Max soon following suit, Leaving only Cortex near Viscus's Armour.
Wait, What about Doom? Who the hell cares?
[color=B4B400]"Oh no...Right....Plan B..."[/color] Cortex said as he stood up and walked away from the inanimite Viscus.
He held a specialized Ray Gun made from his Mk6 Ray gun, scrap metal and a few spare parts.
[color=B4B400]"....God?....This is Neo...........If you let this work, I will build a million churches in your honour.....once I take over the world...Amen."[/color] He prayed before he pointed the REC at the Armour and fired.
A small static Blast covered the armour.
[sub]
As UNIT, Debora, Jack and Akane attempted to break though RM's shield, a hail of lead and missiles was fired at their backs.
Viscus was back online and he had all threats in his cross-hairs. "Aw Shit...ALL UNIT'S, CHANGE TARGET, CHA-" Richardson was cut short as a Missile exploded near him and threw him into a shop-front while Minigun Fire mowed down his men.
Code:
"Target's Locked..."
Replusers (Located in Palms of both hands and In-steps of each foot): Used mainly for Flight, These Energy Weapons work by moving the air around them to allow Vicus to fly.
If needs be, He can use them for offence by increasing the amount of air it moves and the speed at which it moves to create a projectile. Low Damage, compared to his other weapons, but can be used for sneak attacks or when other weapons are offline.
Unibeam (Located in Chest): A powerful Laser which draws power from the Armour's Arc Reactor.
This is Vicus's most powerful weapon, but it draws a lot of power and needs to be charged before firing.
Missile Swarm: (located in Right Shoulder): A launcher that fires several small homing missiles for combating fast moving or flying targets.
Smart Bombs: (located in Right Shoulder): Small Floating Mines that can be planted like C4. Mainly used to discourage attacks or for Traps.
Laser Sword (located in Right Forearm): A Energy Sword for Melee Encounters or just for cutting though Metal at the cost of Armour Power.
Dart Gun (Located in Right Forearm): A small Dart Gun that fires a Weaponised version of the Power Suppression Serum to short out Superpowers and other Superhuman Traits (Magic, Bio-Enhancements, Etc) for a brief period of time. (About a minute or two)
Minigun (located in Left Shoulder): A 20mm Shoulder Mounted Minigun with Armour Piercing rounds used for general combat.
"The Ex-Wife": 1 Shot (Located in Left Shoulder):
Justin Hammer said:
"These are the Cubans, baby. This is the Cohibas, the Montecristos. This is a kinetic-kill, side-winder vehicle with a secondary cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine RDX burst. It's capable of busting a bunker under the bunker you just busted. If it were any smarter, it'd write a book, a book that would make Ulysses look like it was written in crayon. It would read it to you. This is my Eiffel Tower. This is my Rachmaninoff's Third. My Pieta. It's completely elegant, it's bafflingly beautiful, and it's capable of reducing the population of any standing structure to zero. I call it "The Ex-Wife."
As the missile exploded near Richardson, Jack turned from firing his magnum and raised a hand at Viscus. A massive wall of flame burst forth from the ground between Viscus and the Heroes, stopping all the missiles and bullets.
"You of steel and silicon, you have no place in this world. Fuck. OFF." Jack snarled, his rage fueling the fire to a white hot blaze.
As the fire shifted from Red Mage, Akane took a running leap at the Red Mage, her tails aflame and her sword ready. "YOU WILL DIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!" She screamed.
Red Mage's shield flashed brilliantly as her sword impacted against it, pure wrath fueling her strike.
The flames raged on as Viscus walked though them, his Armour's Alloy being able to withstand the heat.
While he left the wall of flames slightly redder then usual, he was more or less unaffected.
Code:
"Subject "Jack The Reaper", I, The Viscus Mk1 Combat Unit, require you to provide a Service for me and several other designated "Villains". Failure to Comply will result in the Termination of Subject: Tomeo Akane. I require a portal to Location: A.I.M. Oceania Lab for Subjects : "Villains". You have 30 seconds to comply...."
Wesker was peering at the showdown from the Hole to the Sewer. "...Did he just back talk Death?.....Glad he's on our side....more or less...." He said as the others hid below ground.
Cortex took this chance to make a break for the Open Sewer.
"Payment for Services rendered is that you help me until I get the souls that Red Mage has denied entry to the afterlife. Threaten my Daughter again and I will not hesitate to end your measly attempt at life. You will not get a second chance, you will cease. To. Exist." Jack snarled, showing why he was the Sin of Wrath.
Dillon called Amaya down near the basement floor to a special room, it had a heavy steel door and an odd amount of technology in the walls.
"What is this place?"
"It was built using reverse engineering of my golden iPod, this means it's not affected by any changes in time, if for example a reboot were to happen anyone inside this room would not be affected by any temporal anomalies."
"Why would we need something like this?"
"Because I've done some calculations, when that red mage is defeated a reboot from before the satanic demons started attacking will reset, this means things that were caused during those events, Our wedding will exist but well, the twins."
Amaya's hand drifted to her belly.
"what about them?"
"They'll vanish, unless your in this chamber they will disappear, that's why I'll need you inside this chamber when the reboot starts."
Hearing the latest news from the Blackhawke, Tomoya sighed. It seemed he would have to confront the two anyway. The voice calling inside of Tomoya's head was getting louder each second, it was the true Archangel form. It wanted out and soon. "Tomoya...I know your there...why don't you let me out? I'll curb stomp that soldier boy's head in like a ballon..." It called out in it's sadistic voice. Suddenly another voice rang out, "Shut the hell up! Quickly Tomoya, I'll hold this guy back." The boy yelled out.
Nodding, Tomoya got back in contact with the Blackhawke quickly. "Shepard...you there?" Tomoya asked out.
Blackhawke. Bridge
Tomoya's voice rang out on the bridge. "Yes Tomoya I am here." Shepard picked up. "....Okay...I'll ask for permission...you want to come here!? WHAT ALREADY COMING!" Shepard said in a surprising tone.
Blackhawke outside.
Tomoya was already outside of the ship. After he left the Rising Dawn without anyone knowing, Tomoya knew someone was already in London...he might be able to stop this virus or multiple viruses. The door opened to the air lock and Tomoya landed, after a short while and a decontamination, Tomoya was in the bridge and sitting in his chair. Wondering what to do if all fails.
Yu.
Finding the tv in his room. Yu touched it to make sure it was working with 'his' power. As soon as Yu touched the screen, it started to ripple like water. Smiling that he could go back to the tv world made Yu happy. Jumping into the screen was no problem for Yu since he was used to it.
Tv world.
Instantly entering the Tv world, Yu came out of a tv in the center of the giant chambers. TVs covered the walls. The air was zero gravity and sighs hanged over sections of the tvs. "So many...tvs." Yu said as he flew right to a tv which was in the England section. "This should lead too..." Yu said as he went into a tv and came into a ruined building in the middle of London. "You will not get a second chance, you will cease. To. Exist." Yu heard a strange voice ring outside.
"We don't know when that'll be hun. So can i stay in here until the reboot has happened?" She asked. "And I guess Luna is fine, since she survived on reboot already and is cross dimensional, right?" She said getting panicked.
Luna was meanwhile running around the island, enjoying herself carefree.
Akasumi's susanoo sprang to life when combat broke out.
It its right arms was the Sword of Totsuka
and in its left hand was the Yata Mirror
She looked out over everyone, the massive ethereal presence clearly noticeable. "Please hand over the die now. I don't like sealing people. its not a pleasurable experience for those getting sealed." she said.
Hataki nodded and let her wings unfurl themselves. she gave them a few flaps before snapping her fingers. Her appearance changed to that of a business lady with glasses, and wings.
"I think they'll accept me more like this." She said, looking amazing before taking to the air. "Flying is a favorite of mine."
Dillon produced a device it was like a timer but the numbers would sometimes change so it would be 18 days 4 hours 21 minutes and 32 seconds then it would be 17 days 5 hours 35 minutes and 19 seconds, essentially there'd be random changes and a graph.
"This scans and predict when the reboot will happen and it can predict this with stunning accuracy."
"Then how come it keeps changing?"
"Oh easy, it's accurately predicting it form its current situation, meaning a change in events could cause the Reboot to be delayed or happen sooner, it will warn you when the reboot is coming and as it gets closer this timer will get more and more consistent as the factors become more instantaneous and cause less extreme changes"
"You really pout a lot of time into this."
"I want things to go right, if I can stop something I will, Luna will be safe from the reboot, the only reason you might want here with you is it might frighten her, but, you need to promise me, if the reboot is coming even if I'm out in the open, don't wait for me, don't try to help me, just get into this chamber, take Luna with you if she's close by. but under no circumstances, should you wait for me."
"Don't tease me like that. You know i am a servant of lust." she said. "That teasing might get you somewhere." The Demi-succubus said then flew through the portal, landing and cloaking her wings, making her look like just a business woman.
she covered her mouth with a hand at the devastation around them. "What happened here..." she thought out loud.
James walked through what was left of London. "I love the smell of destruction in the morning," he said with an evil grin on his face. After walking awhile, he came across a fight between some people he recognized and others he didn't. He pulled out a chair from the wreckage and sat down a few yards away to see what happens next.
She looked around some more before seeing the massive ethereal creature in the distance. What in the world is that thing... the demi succubus thought to herself. "I know i work and live in hell, but this is just... i can't even think of describing it..." she said worried if the people had quick deaths.
[hr]
"I'm just going to stay in it honey. And Luna is a strong girl, i'm sure she'll be fine." Amaya said and hugged dillon. Her baby bump pressing up against him a tiny bit. "I'm going to go inside of it now. fetch me wen its all over, ok Honey?" she asked him, then opened the vault door before heading inside and leaving the door open.
Red Mage felt the brutality of the incoming shots, jerking when Aftan smashed into his shield. The golem could have ended him already, but rather she stood back, launching small spells as the battle raged. Red Mage grumbled, she was pushing him into despair.
He held the Ruby Die close, it's tortured people burned with terror, with Red Mage's despair. For all the world had turned against him in his noble quest.

REND REALITY!
As a swirling darkness overtook the skies above London, and the therworldly lightning tore down onto the gathered group, Debora held onto her hat and smiled. Swirling winds whipped the rubble into the air, extinguished fires, and drew the water from the river Thames. A great ball of shadows and light swirled around the mage, throwing Aftan and Akasumi aside.
The ball grew small in Red Mage's hands, his mouth continued to mutter incantations, but no longer where they in discernible tongue. The Ruby Die glowed at the center of the maelstrom, burning with the anguished cries of those being devoured by darkness. The gale winds had flattened everything in the area but the Mage in Red, who flew high above the ground, holding the ball of condensing energies in his hand. From the sky, the clouds parted. A great whirlpool of shadow transcended space and time, throwing itself into the mage's hand. Even Tomoya's Blackhawke was nudged out of the way to make way for her coming.
Red Mage smiled triumphantly, for the heroes could no longer stop him. The spell had worked! It would soon rend a port-
A crevice opened itself in the crystalline structure of the Ruby Die, minuscule at first, but it grew large. It grew quickly, and soon rant he length of the Die. Suddenly, as the whirlpool was flowing into it, the Ruby Die shattered in Red Mage's hands, and it's glittering dust was swept away by the hurricane.
The shadows that once came at the Mage in Red's call turned in spin, and tore away at his hands. Darkness and lightning lashed out from the ball he once held, and the otherworldly strength cascaded down onto the world. The inky darkness drowned everything in it's mass, swallowed everything and covered everything. Like a great blanket it began to work it's way out of the world, turning the once vibrant globe greyscale, before the people and things began to vanish.
Red Mage screamed as his form was destroyed, imploded, struck into itself as the Lord of Nightmares took form. A gaping maw into oblivion, a hole of blackness beyond pitch. A endless abyss. And it spread.
It devoured the heroes, the villains, all of London, and then the world. It shattered Blackhawke and it blacked out the sun. In mere moments the dark gaping maw had stretched light years in space, and began to swallow all the plane.
[HEADING=1]Arc: Freedom?[/HEADING]
The heroes and villains, found themselves lying on warm concrete, too much of the murmuring of a gathering crowd. Debora stood over them, wearing a t-shirt, a jacket, blue and striped with white, and her solid blue skirt. her hair was black as the asphalt, shiny and long. She tstood at the forefront of the crowd.
When they woke, Puce, Kurumu, Caim, Angelus. Akasumi, Akane, Jack, Richardson, Doom, Wesker, Cortex, Max, Viscus, James, Lucifer, everyone. They found themselves in London. The buildings were all fine, the people alive. The sun shone brightly against a backdrop of blue sky, and ferries drifted lazily along the river Thames. The most conspicuous thing, was the collection of armored men and women lying in the street.
A small boy edged up close and placed his hand on Puce's face, trying to shake him awake. In the most adorable cockney accent that anyone has ever heard he asked, "Sir? Sir? Are you OK?"
The party has been deleveled, money the character once possessed is now worthless (or seen as counterfeit). No one recognizes them, except as fictional characters, and their titles and badges mean little to nothing.
Abilities are about the same, but severely restricted. It takes longer for magic users to recharge after use, and finding compatible power sockets/ammunition is now harder.
Act as if death during this arc would cause your character to be erased entirely.
The goal of this Arc is to find Red Mage before he manages to kill each of the AA posters, and erase them from the real world. (Or back to their original continuities.)
The Rising Dawn now needs to be fueled (Hydrogen/Helium) and Petrol before being able to set off on long distance voyages. the Blackhawke is not in orbit (as laws of gravity apply).
Suspension of Disbelief, and Rule of Cool/Cute/Sexy/whatever should be avoided when possible! Think about how things would go down in real life. (I.E. Jumping through a hail of bullets WILL get you hit. Wounds take time to heal, etc.)
Red Mage said:
If anyone has any concerns or questions, just PM me or ask me on chat!
"I'm sure glad you're okay," the little boy said as Puce turned to gaze at Kurumu, "you're in the best city on Earth right now. You're in London! My mum already called the police to get you to wherever you need to be. The lot of you was passed out on the street."
At this point Aftan and Gabrielle had awoken.
"The beautiful ladies are also awake aren't they?" the boy smiled and helped Puce to his feet, "your little group gave us quite the fright you did. Never before have I seen such colorful-"
Debora placed her hands on the boy's shoulder, "Charles, that's enough. Return to your mother."
"Yes ma'am," the young boy said before disappearing into the crowd.
Debora turned to the group members that were conscious, "Mr. Statscowski was thrown somewhere else in this world at random. We are in London right now, the time being Twelve P.M. the twenty second of September in the year twenty twelve of the year of our lord." She smiled and curtsied, "It is my pleasure to welcome you to the world above yours, to the realm where your gods live. Try not to die, as you most likely won't be coming back to life if that were to happen."
Tomoya was up already and brushed off his clothing, and was not pleased. Gods live? As in multi-..."that is so fucking stupid" Tomoya started to thought but then suddenly bursted out loud and started to laugh out loud in a dark kind of way and stopped all of a sudden. "But that sounded really fucking stupid, I wouldn't mind to kick your skull i-...." Tomoya said and walked to Debora before several blinks appeared and Tomoya held his forehead.
"Umm...Okay, were am I?" Tomoya said as he looked around and saw the group. "What?" Tomoya said still confused by the group and the weird looking surroundings. What the hell! Why did you come back i-" Said the angry voice before being blanked out. "Sorry about that, after you went away...he came out. But I placed him in the cage. It will hold him for sometime before he...comes out again." Soul Shaun said before disappearing.
Seeing Big Ben, Tomoya knew he was in a split second. "Son of a *****" Tomoya said as he stepped backwards.
Yu.
Waking up, Yu did not find himself in London. He was surrounded by tvs in a chamber. "Is this the Tv world....wasn't I in London?" Yu said to himself and looked around. The chamber was lit by back lights in purple. All the tvs were off. All of a sudden Yu's persona came out. "I saved you this time...the others...are gone." The giant said before Yu just sat down. "What about this world?" Yu asked him. "Gone, I don't know how. We will just have to wait." He said and Yu nodded with him.
Debora turned to Aftan and Gabrielle and nodded, "A result of being in a world no longer saturated in magic. I assumed many of your powers would be severely weakened. Sadly I was right. However, it shouldn't impact us in too harsh a matter. You are all superhuman still, after all."
The Blue Magician unclipped the tome at her side and opened it, the empty pages began to write themselves a story. It told of a Mage in Red.
---
Cork, Ireland
A man in red robes was laying in a cot, doctors were swarming over him. His body was soaked, and he coughed heavily. There was a large bloody gash on his chest. Some fishing ship had pulled him out of the Atlantic, where he had suffered severely from hypothermia, exhaustion, and an attack by a tuna fish.
The medical personnel cut his robes off and placed an oxygen mask on the mage, unknowing the identity of the man they were saving.
James woke to a massive headache assaulting him. "That is the last time I go somewhere to see the destruction happen," he said to himself. That was when he saw the people who had already woken up. "Can any of you tell me why I was dragged here with you guys," James asked them.
The voice of Ken ran out through Tomoya's head. Another distant voice came from within Tomoya's mind, it was screaming and spit flying. It was the other Tomoya, and he remembers Ken well. Especially from the L.A incident. Feel though that this place has less power then a normal city, Tomoya summoned his katana and it's sheath and strapped it to his back.
The next thing Ken felt was a cold metal pressed against his neck. "Why don't you tell me what hand you had in this!?" Tomoya said with his lightning eyes glowing. The urge to instantly kill the guy grew on him each second. "We need to find the dark mage." Tomoya said to the group.
Blackhawke.
The crew were send into disarray as they were sent to this world. Shepard calmed them all down with a speech and ordered them back to their stations to maintain the ship and scan it for any problems until the Commander phones them back. "Contact HQ right now!" Shepard ordered.
Debora blinked, "Now that you mentioned it... where did an airship get lost to?" The tome she held glowed to answer. Debora laughed, placing a hand on her forehead, as if on cue, the Rising Dawn came drifting down. It landed on the bank of the Thames river. Whoever was manning it was doing so with great precision. "Technology seems to be undisturbed. That's good to know."
"However, I would advise having everyone else come into consciousness first," Debora turned to James and bowed.
"James, you unfortunately were caught in the range of Red Mage's spell. Rather than being destroyed with the rest of that universe, you became transplanted here with us," Debora feigned a smile, that and all of the London ruins. Wherever the rest of the people had been scattered would be messy to explain. The governments will take notice of the massive amounts of people that were deposited across the countries. Doubling a world's population so suddenly would cause major problems.
