The Truths of Existence, (Roleplay/IC/Sign-Ins Only)

[Kaidou]

Dimension 29

The moment the Vermok crashed into the Kutabare, it erupted in a ball of gigantic flames, before imploding once again. The destruction of the smaller starship caused little damage to the other ship, but on the bright side for the forces of the Grandmasters and their allies, it did cause a large amount of confusion for the Maju Army's fleet, which began to see the Fates' fleet as that of an enemy. Without any delay, more Maju warships left the large fleet, heading straight for Fates battleships.

The Ieyasu continued to spew out relentless volleys of cannon fire at the now slightly damaged Kutabare, which returned fire. The fighter squadrons of the two respective ships continued their vicious dogfight in space as furious cannon bolts whizzed past them. Neither side was able to make any progress in taking down the other, despite the fighters of the Maju Army being more numerous.

"IDJF Ieyasu to Jiang Headquarters, the Maju frigate Fucok is changing course and heading towards the Ieyasu. We request immediate assistance in disabling the shields of the Kutabare."

That very moment, a portal opened up inside the control room of the Kutabare, with Master Leung stepping out and punching, sending shockwaves through the air that knocked the pilots off their feet. Before any of them could react, the second commander of the Kutabare, Colonel Ki Haddar, drew his chainsaw sword and attempted to hack at Leung, who stepped aside and seized the blade of the chainsaw with a hand coated in rock solid Haki. Much to his frustration, Leung's iron grip was able to hold the weapon completely still.

"Damn you!" screamed Haddar, before being kicked in the abdomen and sent flying backwards, all the way to the back of the room, where he crashed into the wall and created a dent, a dent in which his unconscious body got stuck. Blood dribbled out of his mouth slowly.

"Now to disable the shields", said Leung. He pressed a button.

"Damn it, that's not a shield."

A robotic voice rang out through the control room.

"All escape pods ejected."

"Damn."

He pressed another button.

"Shields deactivated. Warning, enemy ships incoming."

"That's more like it."

With that done, Leung stepped through a portal over to the Ieyasu's control room, just as the Kutabare activated its automatic magic jammers. Artillery bolts and heavy canon fire from the Japanese starship pelted the now defenceless body of the Kutabare, eventually causing it to break into two large halves, one half plummeting down into the atmosphere of Shen Tang (and burning up in the process), the other half entering the orbit of the gigantic planet.

"Fuck!" screamed Jyakku, as, from his fighter, he saw his starship breaking into two halves, courtesy of the Ieyasu. That moment, his fighter was hit by a stray bolt, blowing up instantly.

…

On the ground of Jinlongshan, the three way battle between the Grandmasters, the Maju Army and the Fates raged on. General Yuan Kai proved to be a formidable opponent on the battlefield, having accumulated a kill count of 295 on his own, in that single battle alone. The rest of his men, inspired by his performance, carved further into the battalions of the Maju Army, only to stop short when they saw the colossal titan that was the commander of said Maju Army, a titan that stood at an impressive 9 metres.

"I am General Gavvarif", declared the giant, beating his chest and taking off his white mask, revealing an extremely ugly face with facial hairs scattered all over. "You will all die! Hail Maju! Hail the General Nixa, who carries on the legacy of Maju!"


Master Ouyang looked on at the giant who approached the army of Yuan Kai, stroking his white beard and chuckling haughtily.

"Master Lee", said Master Ouyang, "I'm going to meet that Maju General head on in battle. He shall know the true power of Poseidon's Fist."

…

Tokabor (Flagship of the Fates)

"We need to contact Alzis", said the commander of the Tokabor, a mercenary leader named Kamiyasuo the Shinigami. "From the looks of it, our battle with the Grandmasters and the Maju Army is going to drag on forever, and if we are to win this swiftly, we're gonna have to take out the top leadership of both sides ASAP."

"Sir", asked one of the men, "how do you plan to do that?"

Kamiyasuo pressed a few buttons on a touchscreen, causing a hologram to pop up on screen, a hologram of a list that comprised a number of faces and names.

"The assassins of the black market have a surprisingly organised bureaucracy. The numbers next to the names indicate the number of single-handed kills, while the larger number is the total kill count (and thus, includes killings through nuclear bombs, proxies, and other such mass killing methods). This is known as the Black List of the Underworld, and it ranks the top 20 assassins and bounty hunters in terms of their total kill counts and success rates. Iuzun, the number 2 of the IGSE, is at the top of the list. Those who follow are just as deadly, and many are even more insane and sadistic."

"Are you kidding me?" exclaimed one of the lieutenants, "these guys are all mass murderers! How can we hire them???"

"Who said that the Fates was against mass murder?" asked Kamiyasuo rhetorically, cocking his head and smiling suggestively.

Inalbo

"Seriously, though", said Felix, rather annoyed at the fact that they were making very little progress and, more likely than not, keeping those back at the restaurant waiting, "why don't we just scrap the idea of finding this thief? It's clear that we're going to take ages to do that, considering how he's got a super-luck ability that even he doesn't bloody know about…"

Dimension 1,105
The Japanese Restaurant

The arrival of the demon at the Japanese restaurant was met with surprise (some more muted than others) from all of them, except for Kaidō, the fat man in the blue yukata, who stood up and bowed to the demon.

"Irasshaimase", he said, before getting up once again.

"What brings you here?"

[Naval Monte]

Dimension 888,815

Leviathan's TIE interceptor was blowing out smoke, sparks and fire, its computer systems along with most other systems inside the star fighter were nearing the point of being rendered inoperable. The TIE fighters that were chasing her mysteriously left, at first she was confused but soon the answer became clear when a Y-Wing took their place. The lone Y-Wing was much slower when compared to the TIEs but it's ion cannon was doing more destruction to Levi's star fighter than any of the TIEs. She can see that her star fighter can't stay on the air for long and it was also slowing down.

As the TIE interceptor began to descend down Leviathan began to plan on how to escape from her current situation, she can see that landing down will not be easy as demons were growing in numbers in this realm. The general saw the tenshis and the Dark Magus. Sensing that something was wrong she turn the TIE to go to them just as the Y-Wing from behind fired another bolt of ion energy. The Tie was now coming down, as the burning figure of the female nepharite got up she had her spear ready to throw at Ludwig. But before she could the TIE Interceptor crashed on top of her, bouncing up in the air and was about to hit Jahvi.

Yet the lead nepharite stopped the ship from hitting him by grabbing it with his telekinesis. Leviathan saw a perfect chance and broke their the front glass and jumped out of the doomed star fighter just as Jahvi crushed it into a metal ball and throw the crushed remains at the Y-Wing, destroying both crafts. "Here you were worrying about my kind on interfering when this wench decided to drop by." Leviathan slowly got up and dodged a series of chains and barbwires aimed at her. "But we will leave you alone to deal with your former comrades, at least until the sun is fully darken. At that point whatever orders we get we must follow them." Jahvi said, turning the surrounding snow into glass shard and sending them flying to Leviathan.

The female general created a magical shield and the shards turn into powder that blow against her, she than dodged a stab from the spear from the other nepharite whose beauty form was now destroyed, the spear scratching her by her left side. Now engaged in both close range spear combat while dodging reality shift attacks from another Leviathan realize that in her current condition she wouldn't be able to last long against two nepharites but she refuses to back down from a fight and flee, especially when the enemy she is up against will most likely not give her the chance to flee.

Alzis pointed the red jewel on top of the cane to the body of Haikarakainen, to those who can see magical energy they would see on of the runes on the jewel glowing. The body of Haikarakaninen spontaneously combust into flames. "Trash like that is best burnt away so no one would see it." he said, with no hint of emotion. When Iuzun open the portal to a gigantic city realm Alzis's eyes narrowed as he began to think of Metropolis, or the realm called Metropolis back in his world. "Assuming the Archons don't interfere with our meeting than I let us make a proper alliance with our two factions. This war no longer interest me."

The sun was now half way on becoming black, the feeling of dread was growing stronger and more demons kept on appearing in the dimension. The Fates were already retreating as they see no point in being in this world anymore and some of the knights were also leaving, but most stayed so they can find their general before they can leave in force. The other creatures working with different powers were also leaving, but not because of the growing number of demons. They can sense that something dark, terrible and powerful was making it's way towards this world and they have no interest on staying just to witness the coming of this dark power.

Logan

Logan wish he had time to research more on his latest new discovery, the discovery of R-States. In simple R-States or Reality States, are different states or levels of reality itself. By experimenting with the variant r-states they learned about some of the things that go on in the higher levels, it is very likely that r-states may infact be different dimensions in a universe, dimensions to small to be seen and some larger that they act as different layers of the universe. It's like how something from the second dimension can't normally interact with something in the third dimension, at least that is what normally happens but mucking around with reality states has that funny way of shattering the laws of physics, sanity and reality.

Of course like with everything relating with the Sycamore there were problems. When the r-states increased weird, unstable and crazy causing events happen and in general the entire area was rendered completely hostile for everyone in the facility, going down to the lower levels brought in it's own levels of instability, insanity and dangers. But the lower levels were easier on producing materiel and oddities that can be useful, the great examples are room-temperature superconductors, and variant-electron catalysed fusion. Yet instead of being in the lab to research r-states, thaumaturgy and the new research projects on something called animaic waveform, Logan was running down the hall in terror.

The strange creatures that were being sighted have now all broken into the lab and are slaughtering everyone on sight. Logan was ready for the day the IGSE would launch a surprise raid on his facility so he made copies of all the research notes and documents, even making copying them on to disks and holocubes, just for this moment and store them inside the Sycamore. Being very grateful for that foresight plan he ignored the cries for help and screams of pain and terrors only with the roars and howls of demons.

Logan soon found the room which contained the Sycamore and to his joy the cockpit was now open, today was going to be the flight test. They also now have the resonator install into the ship and while there were other technological devices they wanted to equip the Sycamore with Logan now can't afford to think about them, maybe once he can find a place to hide he can find more researchers to continue on with the work that was going on in this facility.

Logan got on the cockpit, climbing up a ladder to do so. At first he didn't know what to do but soon the cockpit closed on it's own and his mind was flooded with a surge of eldritch knowledge that was within the ship, even more he can feel his mind and the sentience of the ship becoming one. Logan screamed as the alien information flood his mind, the ship began to move on it's own as a group of demons broke into the room.

Before the demons can approach the ship they were all destroyed by a cherry-red beam that came from the Sycamore. The beams were part of a weapon system that Logan now dubbed as "Star Breakers", these weapons utilizes coherent gravity waves which have no recoil due to "anchoring themselves in timespace". Logan knew that the weapon's output can be changed around, it's destructive power can be altered. He smiled as more of the information appeared in his head, ignoring the intense pain that he was feeling and the slippage of his already frail sanity.

He moved the ship with his thoughts, the ship can only be controlled by a form of techno telepathy, and fired at the ceiling, destroying it and the beam travelling up to hit the star. Logan can guess that the output used on that blast would give the star a week or 2 before it goes supernova, taking the facility and planet with it. The ship flew out off the large hole and soon was reached the planet's atmosphere. Logan activated the resonator inside and soon a green fog surrounded the ship, green bolts of lightning coming out as the ship left the universe and enter a new one.

Sol

Sol Kira has finally reach the archives first, he reach the computer terminals and was inputting the commands to move most of the files, books and scrolls within the archives to a pocket dimension made by their top sorcerers and scientists to safely contain the content of the archives in another location that only they would know they access to. Sol was about to make his way to the vaults when he heard the sound so something resembling both a bird's call and a snake hiss.

He soon dodged a thrown lance and saw a squad of angels have somehow appeared in his location. The angels had the lower body of a serpent and the torso and arms of a human. They had elongated and flexible necks and bird-like heads. Their bodies were made of marble and porcelain and wore armor of glass and metal that was fused to their bodies. Their hands had long, thin fingers that look to be a fusion between a human's hand and a bird's talon, their wings were pushed far back and appeared to be made of either metal or glass.

"I don't have time for you creatures." Sol coldly said, charging towards them. Despite their skills the angels were no match for Sol who while occasionally having trouble still moved forward towards the vault. Soon he reached the vault and like the archives manage to get the computer system to transfer the relics and artifacts inside the vaults into the same pocket dimension for safe keeping.

Sol let out a sigh of relief, but as soon as he did he sense a new danger. Around him the room suddenly combust into blue flames. "WHAT?" shouted the alarmed knight. He can sense that something was in the flames but he didn't know what, it felt divine but it was not the strange beings called angels. "You may have sent your precious tomes and relics into a safe haven but we will find that haven soon and all of your efforts will be in vain." the fire said, yet Sol was not taken surprise by it. "What are you?"

The fire began to congregate into a single place in the room and soon a new form emerged. This strange being before him appear to be a robotic angel burning with an inextinguishable azure and purple flames. The metal was silver but parts of it have been black with other glowing purple. It's six wings were blade of blades of plasma and on it's hand was a flaming sword. "What am I will no longer become relevant to you but as you are worshiped as a king by your people I will depart with you with both my name and my race. You can call me Yaldabaoth, the Divine King. I'm the first of the Archons." The being said, raising it's sword.

As it swung the flaming sword down a raging firestorm came out of the blade, Sol quickly chanted a shield around him and was protected by the fire storm. "I, Sol Kira.
Chancellor and Leader of the Order of St. Luminia. I will not allow anyone. Demon, angel, spirit, dragon, Rokuō and Archon. To threaten both my order and my people." the energy from his sword glow. "Prepare yourself Yaldabaoth, for I will not hold back."

Numenera

Just as Zod was about to charge in with another attack he stopped, infact all of the demons in Numenera stopped in their attack. "It would seem that our fight will have to continue for another day Galem. I'm needed on another world, but next time nothing will get in the way of our fight." Zod stretched his wings and began to fly off the battle field until he went inside a rift.

Most of the demons in Numenera began to leave both the city and the world, all heading to the one world were the Daevas want them to go.

Alzis

Due to the mask Svaboda couldn't see what expression Alzis was giving the Noosphere being. "I'm Alzis and as I told the golem I'm a Representative of The Eyes of Fate. Now who are you?" he said, the soldiers with him pointing their weapons at the Monolith fighters. Alzis knows that Svaboda is a psychic entity but what he needs to know is what his reasons are for being in this world. Alzis suspects that the beings reasons are similar to his own which if that is the case than Alzis will have to banish Svaboda out of this realm.

Shaking the Heavens and the Earth!
Ludwig VS The Dark Magus
天地ゆるがす!
ルートヴィヒ VS 闇の魔法使い
Part I

Ludwig's Theme
The Dark Magus' Theme

The moment the Nepharites pledged to leave the two alone, both the Dark Magus and Ludwig readied themselves, facing each other. The former drew Pestilence, now dull black and dripping with a foul smelling substance of the same colour, while his opponent simply stood facing him in a karate stance, both his fists glowing white and producing tongues of fire.

"You'll never defeat me", laughed the Magus, his white porcelain mask glinting in the light of the slowly dying sun and the flames burning away on Ludwig's hands, "for there is no light that can defeat the darkness." In response, Ludwig held out his palms and pointed them at the Magus.

"There will always be light", he declared. "Even when the darkness consumes everything, there will always be one candle remaining."

With that, the spirit of the Hotel leapt upwards, into the air, transforming into his magnificent phoenix form with a glorious explosion of white fire that illuminated the entire dimension for a brief moment. The Magus trembled and covered his face, the light penetrating and searing his eyes even though he wore a mask that cut the sights of existence off of his senses. Before he knew it, the fiery talons of the Phoenix had struck him a deadly blow to the torso, sending him flying backwards, screaming in the intense pain that the fires of light dealt to his body of darkness.

"You bastard!" screamed the Magus, before reaching back behind him, charging both his fists up with balls of dark energy. The energy propelled him forwards, sending him flying back to Ludwig, whom he struck with a hand that had been imbued with an aura of evil. The resulting clash between the divine and the infernal caused a horrid yet majestic explosion that shot all the way into the heavens before dispelling into a lofty firework that, for a moment, seemed to have dispelled the evil blackness that was beginning to blot out the diseased and dying sun. Both pugilists flew backwards and crashed into the snowy ground, both sending a cloud of snow into the air, Ludwig causing a gigantic pillar of fire to erupt from the ground, and the Magus sending a roiling mushroom of darkness up into the heavens.

From the light and dark clouds, both charged at each other again, Ludwig now in his human form, albeit with trails of fire that left behind a smell of divine incense. Both raised their fists and struck each other's opposite fist, causing black and white sparks to fly. The Magus thrust his foot around Ludwig's knee and pulled him forward, bringing his knee onto the ground. He attempted to kick Ludwig's torso while midair, but the spirit of the Hotel seized the metal-capped foot with his bare hands, holding the Dark Magus in the air in that position. Five seconds passed, and a trickle of blood flowed down the black metal edge of the boot. At this moment, the Magus attempted to lunge forward with his other foot, but was thrown upwards by Ludwig, who then transformed his lower half into its Phoenix form (healing his palmar wounds at the same time) and kicked the Magus up into the air forcefully, eliciting a scream of pure anger from the former Tenshi.

Without waiting, Ludwig transformed the rest of his body into the holy white phoenix, its eyes burning a passionate crimson, leaping into the air and charging upwards after the rapidly ascending Dark Magus. The moment he reached the point above what used to be Father Christmas, Ludwig lifted his leg above his wings, before bringing it down forcefully and sending the screaming Dark Magus plummeting towards the ground, crashing through the snow cover, the soil, the permafrost, the bedrock… all the way down into the core of Dimension 888,815.

The moment the Dark Magus crushed through the last layer of soil that stood between the upper surface of Dimension 888,815 and its fiery, molten core (having been thrown downwards more than 100km at the speed of 10 metres per second), the eruption of compressed volcanic gases underneath caused a gigantic explosion that decimated and annihilated every single layer of the crust, sending a gargantuan mushroom of magma booming into the sky and pulverising the land in a 200 mile radius. The damaged IGSE HQ, formerly the Ice Corps base, was right at the edge of the explosion. Though the building wasn't incinerated, the ground underneath it (being hollow for the basements) crumbled, and the entire Headquarters, once a symbol of the might of the Tenshi (and later, of the IGSE), buckled, before plummeting downwards into the molten abyss below.

---

The sudden collapse of the ground caught the three men completely off guard; the worse part was that the 70 year old Dr Poh was the only one who was in a good-enough state to move about at all. Without hesitating, he created a portal to one of the Hotel's lobbies, before dragging Higashi across and returning for Law, whom he dragged back across in a similar manner.

From the other side, the three watched forlornly and silently as the body of their friend Wilhelmus, shrouded in Dr Poh's beige trench coat, fell down into the core of the planet, before being engulfed by the cruel slag below. The broken Trident, left behind by Father Christmas when he was pursued by Ludwig, plummeted after the body. The moment it hit the magma below, it produced a gigantic ball of golden light that shot upwards into the sky in a holy pillar of light, before that light silently died away and gave way to the darkness…

---

Above ground, Ludwig continued to maintain his position and his phoenix form, silently observing the seemingly endless magma core below him; now that the ground had been completely destroyed, with only a few columns of land left standing (which was where the Nepharites, the demons, and General Leviathan stood), the lava continued to roil beneath him.

No sign of Father Christmas… no… the Dark Magus. Not yet.

…

Dimension 420,711
IGSE Headquarters

As Alzis followed behind, Iuzun stepped off the portal and onto what seemed like the top floor of an office building made completely of glass and sleek white metal. As the workers and uniformed men and women standing around looked on (not knowing what to think), the stunted but muscular Alveranian raised his fist into the air and thrust forward an accusatory index finger.

"Listen up!" he screamed in his booming, terrifying voice, "Haikarakainen is dead! The IGSE belongs to me now! Those who are not in favour of the new leadership, raise your hands and step forward!"

Nobody dared to do anything. Nobody, except for a young, black haired boy with Nordic features that didn't match his hair colour, a boy who looked barely 19.

"You little dwarf. I'm not going to listen to you."

With no delay, Iuzun seized the boy by the collars and punched him in the chest so hard that a cracking sound rang through the entire room. The boy choked, foamy red blood dribbling out of his mouth, before collapsing onto the floor.

"So nobody else dares to oppose me? Good. Back to work; we are pulling the IGSE out of this useless Rokuō war, so that we can deal with the new Demon threat you are all familiar with. If any of the other Rokuō refuse to recognise my decision, send a Genesis Bomb after them."

The moment the final syllable left his mouth, every single worker in the room screamed "Yes Sir" in affirmation, before setting off doing the new task Iuzun had assigned to them. Turning to Alzis, Iuzun said, "Let's go to the foyer on the landing pad of the rooftop; there's a soundproof and air-conditioned guesthouse there that we can use to discuss our Alliance terms."

[Contamenesia]

Altyrnia

Altyrnia frowned. Suddenly she seized Azathoth with her power, and forced him to the form of a man, and made him bow before her. "Little one, tsk, tsk, tsk....You will show respect when speaking to me, Gnat. Failure to do so can be grievous to someone as lowly as you. I can take away everything you are, and everything you have created. Disrespect me again, and i will erase your wife and all of your children, and then strip you of all your power and immortality, leaving you just a mortal man to live alone in pits of nothingness as you watch everything that you call yours vanish within a second." She scolded him sternly. Her threat genuine, but she knew it wouldn't come to that. "It may have been sixteen million years in your multiverse's time, since we last spoke, but you should know better. All i ask of anyone is their respect. they do not have to like me, but i will not tolerate disrespect." She folded her arms, but her expression softened. "Now that aside, to business. Soon someone will come to steal the sword. Let them, the blade will not be used against you or anyone that you know. After it has served its purpose, it will be returned." While its true she did not have to personally come here nor even ask of him anything in order for all this to come to pass, she had felt like giving Azathoth a visit, though was disappointed by the disrespect he had shown her. His multiverse was an amusing pass time to watch.

Kyuubi

Kyuubi frowned, "If Gabriel was the type of guy who could be tracked on some pervert's computer, he wouldn't have been the guy we needed. I highly doubt you have any thing tracking him. His Clairvoyance seems to aid him against such things, whether he knows it or not." Even though the man wasn't hitting on her, she found the man disgusting, and was kind of rooting for Sarah to beat the living shit out of him....though she only expressed this will a simple frown.

Crowe

Crowe chuckled, "I wouldn't sell that short just yet, milady." he gave a bow. "You can never guess what the future may hold, even with foresight." he grinned, then his face went serious. "Maju's soul is possessing the body of my friend, huh? well we can't have that....look i'll meet back up with guys later, i've got something i've got to take care of...." With that he opened a portal and stepped through it, and it closed immediately behind him.

Jason

Jason felt the seal around the realm that he felt appear earlier disappear. he went outside to investigate. "Well, if this is the portal, then i'm gonna go ahead, i'd rather not waste any time." he said to the three weird sisters. his demeanor was calm, and his expression was serious, as it usually was. Without another word, he stepped through.

Kyne

Cyrssa rolled her eyes and pushed past Elizabeth. "Of course i'm going, I'm not going to leave an irresponsible bag of crazy like you take off with my aunt, acting all willy nilly." And with that she headed outside. Kyne frowned. "I must go. I must repay my debt...somehow." she said, her face its usual emotionless state. And she followed Elizabeth back outside.

Wasp

As the others began to go through the portal, Wasp pulled Alzis aside, and waited until it was only him and her. "Stop complaining, this is important." he looked directly at her. "You have 11 months left to live. You will die, all of you, by the hands of the one named Elizabeth Ashwood. It's inevitable, you cannot avoid or outsmart this. every plan you make will fail. If you truly wish to have a legacy of any sort, then Crowe maybe your last option. It's ultimately your choice, but know if you do desire a legacy of any sort, you'll only have two months...else it will be too late." with that, he let go of her arm, and stepped through the portal.

???

She felt indifferent to the word...Feronia....it didn't feel like a name, it just felt like a word, someone else's word. Not hers. She reinforced the forcefield, then put one hand in front of her mouth and blew out....all weapons and armor in the area evaporated as if they were only a dream. She still had someone to protect, so she would make sure no harm came to him nor the village that she had made.

[Kaidou]

Inalbo

"That, of course, raises a very interesting dilemma", said Mera, coiling her tail around her body as she sat up and preened herself. "Him being able to track would make him redundant to our mission, but if he's got the ability to evade tracking, then going after him would be a huge waste of our time. No doubt, the reason we're going after the Jewel in the first place is to give ourselves another buffer against the new darknesses that are creeping into the Multiverse, but if we're going to waste so much time trying to find him, then that defeats the purpose of everything in the first place."

"What I'm curious to know", said Felix to Mokiim, "is the method which you claim to be using to track down this one Gabriel Weston."

"Um… about that…" said Mokiim, as he checked his smartphone, "it seems like his trail has suddenly… vanished…"

"Exactly what she was talking about", said Felix with a strong tinge of irritation in his tone, gesturing to Kyuubi and sipping the rest of the reddish pink liquid in his cup.

The Hideyoshi had come under fire from all sixteen battleships that had changed course to meet it in battle, but wasn't having a very difficult time fending them off, considering the wide power difference and the fact that the Maju battleships engaging it were barely 10% of its size, meaning that their shields were no match for the powerful plasma cannons and rail guns.

Of course, the battle was about to change; two gigantic ships (the same size as the now wrecked Kutabare), the Torgor and the Jirizamue, blasted out of light speed, before flanking the Japanese starship and running out their guns. At that same moment, Fleet Admiral Mayumi Takada had given the order to scramble the Y-Wing fighters to take out the cannons of the two Maju warships. The moment the first squadron left, a plasma bolt from the Hideyoshi flew through the void and struck the Torgor, blowing up one of its cannons.

"In this day and age, if these supposedly powerful men are unable to comprehend the idea of women who can match them, then they can go back to their caves."

Tokabor

Grandmaster Ping's fighter squadron of 400 men had infiltrated the Tokabor, having been requested to divert their attention to the ships of the Fates by Fleet Admirals Moritaka and Takada. The shields of the flagship were taken apart, and the 400 men landed in the landing bay and proceeded to eliminate everybody in there. Master Ping, a young, stubbly man only slightly older than Master Ding Hao,drew two long swords, before cocking his head and beckoning his men to follow him in infiltrating the warship of the Fates.

Little did they know what was inside…

Jinlongshan

In a single fiery punch, Master Ouyang Zhenye had shattered the skull of the gigantic General, sending him topping backwards and crashing onto the floor motionless. The Grandmaster fell from the sky and landed his foot on top of a Maju soldier, before proceeding to fight off other Maju soldiers while squatting on the shoulders of that one Maju soldier, who was, somehow, unable to shake the Grandmaster off his back.

Soon, however, the first battalions of the Fates had entered the fight, tearing through both the Maju Army and the battalions of the Jiang Dynasty. All sorts of bizarre creatures appeared from what seemed to be nowhere, drilling holes through the formations of both armies like pile-drivers.

"Master Lee", asked an attendant, "will you be entering the battle soon?"

Lee nodded his head.

"Soon."

Azathoth

Azathoth was shocked by the sudden change of form. He even had that look on his face though didn't really listen to what Altyrnia really said before he stood up and looked at his hands, wiggling his fingers. It had been a long time. He looked back up at Altyrnia tilted his head to the left "That's...never happened to me before" He spoke with a voice that seemed distant. He wasn't used to the whole anyone being more powerful than him thing. He then shook his head and came to his senses and looked Altyrnia in the eye with the deadly serious expression he was known for "If anyone wishes to take my son's sword, so be it. For it isn't my wrath they will be subjected to but the wrath of my less than noble children" Azathoth said, talking about the power hungry and insane Elder Gods that may peruse whoever took the sword. And they weren't the kind to ask nicely. They were the kind to destroy entire planets, galaxies and universes to get what they want.

He was of course hinting towards Stev Helgan and the High King of the Eldritch Coalition too, one seeing the sword as too powerful for anyone to wield and the other seeing it as a powerful religious artifact of great importance. Both were too arrogant for Azathoth's taste though he did not hate them, because he loved everyone. Azathoth then sighed "How is my daughter?" He asked as he looked towards the floor. One of his daughters, an Elder Goddess joined the Ahmarhan not long ago after having to lay down the grand daddy of all smitings upon a group of Anti Gods during the Anti-verse Incident. Destroying an Anti-God after all was no small feat but killing a group in one shot? That was enough to get her into the Ahmarhan.

Fanatic/The Overseer

The Overseer looked the fat man up and down slowly with no change in facial expression, every breath sounding like flames being blasted out of his lungs. He then spoke "Good evening" He began, speaking in a strangely normal way that didn't seem to correspond to the way he looked "I'm looking for a white haired woman called Sarah Helgan. You might have seen her. Physically attractive, probably carrying some sort of rifle around with her, looks around 21 years old but speaks like she's around 400 years old. You seen her?" He asked, sitting down in a seat and grabbing a tea pot and pouring the contents into his mouth.

Svaboda

Svaboda watched as everyone's guns evaporated. The Monolith fighters, their minds under tight control, didn't notice anything other than the simpler means of "defending the Monolith" suddenly disappearing which would mean they would have to go medieval on an aggressor's ass if it came to it "Me? Just a simple traveler is all" He said in a dead pan way, which of course was only a half truth "Alzis huh? The same Alzis who was bricking themselves while getting shot at by Fanatic?" He asked with a smirk on his face, clearly being a smart ass.

[Generailia]

Dennis

Dennis quickly regretted the fact that he decided to lean on a nearby wall while he could be both looking outside and eavesdropping like the irritating demon in front of him. But the Lich quickly shrugged this off once the man whose name is obviously a result of a mother with a halfway decent sense of humor..or some ridiculous military codename. But he of course imagined it to be the former which caused his grin to rise ever so slightly.

But it quickly fell again once he started preaching about some bullshit concerning yet another guy whose name deserves a spot on a tongue twister that would be something akin to, 'Jongitlu jams to jazz when joining jobs with-' then suddenly his train of thought was stopped when the musician who would more then likely attempt to flirt with a broomstick that had a female stickfigure's face on it began to speak. Yet he quickly stopped paying attention yet again once another fucking monologue escaped his lips. But the thief was most certainly amused by the fact that the way he folded his arms. Since made it made the bard look like a small and absurdly spoiled child and not the horny psychopath who'll murder an entire army simply to either relieve his bordem or get in some girl pants.

So after that fairly disturbing thought finally crept out of his head he began to turn away when Glinda suddenly spoke up. Yet the mage quickly turned his attention elsewhere once they began arguing about some philosophical bullshit that he more then likely couldn't care less about if he tried. But the fact that a oddly friendly looking Elrond followed the witch's order with remarkable timing seemed a bit suspicious to him. This of course caused the undead to turn his attention back to the female mage and he certainly didn't regret it. Since while he was listening half-assedly he heard something about that ritual thing as she claimed that 'this isn't even my final form' which was rather odd. But he shrugged it off as an intimidation tactic as he quickly ignored everything else she was saying as the fact that some 'accidental thief' will kill him clawed it's way into his mind yet again.

So he quickly had to grow some bigboy pants and fight it off yet again before he began wallowing in his own self pity. Which of course took a bit of time and effort and caused him to miss the flirt's response along with the beginning of the three goddess's response to the insect's stubbornness but he once he was able to regain his composure the Lich quickly listened in only to hear some more fear caused by the dragon princess who seemed to be more of a narcissistic bitch then a ruler. But in his experience their was little difference between the two so he quickly began to listen to another one of their fucking speeches as every part of his mind was screaming at him to leave before they literally kill him with bordem before the asshole from the halfway decent looking but completely narcissistic princess of..dragons right?..decided to show up and play soccer with his heart.

Aeris

Aeris was honestly getting irritated at the simple fact that every bit of halfway decent information that was mentioned by the beings both in front of and behind her was covered with a excessively high amount of useless fluff. Yet the demonic feline was curious as to what 'Ellie's' true form was if such a thing wasn't a bluff, but she was sure that the thing about the ritual was true due to the simple fact that it'd explain the earthquakes and fairly negative events that overtook both the world and herself so perhaps her claim does have some merit. Which would also explain the bit of power that she sensed within the woman in a time that certainly seemed to have at least taken place a week or so ago.

Then suddenly the cat's train of thought was interrupted by the strange but obviously powerful man's voice which quickly caught her attention as she peaked out the door yet again and realized that the male elf and his human companion had made their way outside while she was deep in thought. Which clearly surprised her for about a full second, yet she quickly regained her composure just in time to hear another history lesson from the arrogant Mr. Ahmarhan guy who was more then likely named after a insect or some sort of none humanoid creature like the rest of the members of his kind that she had met so far. But she quickly began to lose interest due to her cat-like attention span popping up yet again. Which was of course lost by the temporary suppression of her demonic abilities which kept such a thing at least somewhat tame..even though it still crept out of the mental cage she put it into at some absurdly inconvenient times nonetheless.

Which of course caused the demoness to miss both the rest of his pointless blabbering along with all of the male elf's as well. But once the girl was able to regain her composure and stop being distracted by even the slightest of movements that have taken place within the room she quickly noticed that the tense mood that had leered outside seemed to be settling itself down a bit. Which caused her to breath a sigh of relief which quickly stopped once she turned around and noticed how anxious the undead thief behind her seemed even though he rose his grin ever so slightly in an attempt to hide it. While the obviously astonished and rather idiotic looking soldier a fair distance away from her looked ready to tear off the strangely calm man who was apparently napping outside. Which caused her to rap a bit of wind around him just encase but after seeing the general calmness outside he breathed a fairly infuriated sigh as he mumbled something to himself before taking a seat on a wall a fair distance away from both herself and her summoner.

This calmness thankfully lasted through another one of the insects extended speeches and most of the pointless discussions and slightly interesting case of blackmail following it. But the fact that the slight bit of demonic ability that she could still faintly sense screamed that she could now teleport back to the headquarters of the guardians made her nervous even though she hid it well. Since the adolescent demon knew that if she could leave then so could the goddesses. Yet her train of thought was quickly disrupted by the sound of some fairly random and rather perverted noises coming from outside which caused the strange caped idiot to stand there shocked with a face as red as a tomato and bony to nearly burst out into laughter. But she was of course unaffected by this since her job has brought her to a few places where such a noise was common along with other things that would make even the toughest man blush..mostly while dealing with rouge succubuses of course but a few other cases rose in the past as well. So she quickly moved to close the door in order to give them some privacy but thankfully in doing so she noticed the tape recorder. But this faded away once they made their intentions on leaving fairly soon clear.

Then the cat-demon of course quickly threw her summoner against the roof above him only to be suddenly lifted off of her feet and once she turned around the cold stare of a man who was considering whether or not he should kill you greeted her. But this of course left her unfazed and the fact that it was air caused her to easily dispel it. Then she sighed before whispering in a tone that only herself, the man, and the idiotic mage could hear. "Calm yourself mage, we are all allies here..at least temporarily." This caused the temporarily astonished young man to regain his composure before responding in a far harsher and obviously threatening whisper that even a child could overhear. "I do not know what a flaming 'mage' is, but I will restrain myself for now." Then the man turned back to see the Elizabeth woman suddenly enter and speak to the woman who is most likely her partner before turning towards them and making the fact that she intended for them to follow very clear. Thankfully, the strange hybrid woman and the elf made their intentions clear and since the woman expected for them to follow anyway and she really didn't wish to fight the woman in her "true form".So Aeris could only sigh as she followed the two "men" in front of her as they made their way outside. Then once they were out there all three of them simply waited for the female mage to exit as well with the full intent to follow her, since no one seemed to have any idea where exactly she should go exactly.

Dimension 888,815

"General Leviathan!" shouted a few remaining knights that survived the changing landscape, their piece of land close by the one where Leviathan and the two nepharites were fighting. "Retreat now. This world is lost to us." Levi shouted, dodging yet another series of chains fired from Jahvi. Throughout the world the demons either swam on the magma, leap from one platform to another or flew after the remaining knights and soldiers to sate their dark and twisted desires on them.

From the sky new portals open and Ziz along with her sky angels appeared and saw the remaining knights and Leviathan. "My god. Levi!" she shouted, diving bombing down and slaying any demons that were flying in her direction. The rest of the sky angels also engaged in aerial battles against the flying demons as their general came down on the two Nepharites like a bird of prey, firing off a hail of metal feathers at them.

The two general now found themselves in an even two way fight, Leviathan fighting against the female Nepharite while Ziz fought against Jahvi. Yet the fighting between knights and demons stopped when they all heard a loud rumble all over the world, almost like an earthquake yet there was no signs of one happening now. They all saw the sky violently rippling and distorting, the only part not effected was the sun the mark on it not only returned it was spreading at an alarming rate.

The lava itself began to change into dark still waters with bodies of the dead breaking and floating. The corpses of the dead can be heard muttering, crying and whispering. The ground and sky turn gray. Screaming faces, moving and blinking eyes and grinning mouths made up the clouds. The snow resemble more of ashes, the world is abounding with graveyards, tombs, even a few Egyptian or Mayan pyramids. The realm is ostensibly lit by pale and weak light of the black sun, other sources of light stems from the torches placed around the crypts, and funeral pyres place in and around crypts and graveyards, or from rock formations glowing with a pale inner light or reflecting the the radiance of the sun or the torches off the veins and ribbons of precious metals and mineral deposits.

Mountains of marble can be found along with trees made of bones, from their branches hanged robed skeletons. One the massive boulders lay giant skeletons of being that we're chain in life and died while being tortured as seen by the numerous weapons pierced through their bodies. Small oasis's can be found producing an eerie white mist with the carcasses of the dead near by, a few floating on the waters. The ground itself began to shake and the waters within the now ocean of the dead bubbled, the clouds were pulled down to a spot where the old base once stood.

Rising up from the dark water was a colossal being. The fingers of the being, which number close to a million, are bigger than skyscrapers ever made by man or similar intelligent beings in the current cycle of the multiverse. The body of the being consisted of ribs or fingers folded to give the illusion of being ribs. The faces of the dark being are masks, its faces bigger than countries all different. Some the eyes are perfect circles, others have huge pointy holes where the mouths should be. Some are blank and some have eight eye holes and some look like human faces, like perfect human faces with deep dark hollow eyes all of them, the inside of all of them is so dark, a living dark, a pulsing dark pulsing all together.

It's size dwarfs everything in the world, even the mighty mountains of marble are nothing more but ant hills to this creature and it's mass made everyone felt as though it was pressing them down by it's sheer presence. But worst of all was the feeling of utter terror that all felt by this being, it felt as though all were witnessing their very own deaths. For Leviathan and Ziz they felt not only was the specter of death upon them but that they were seeing an incarnation of evil itself.

The Black sun spewed out a miasma of shadows that slithered it's way down to the masked being, the shadows surround the being and created a cloak around it's body. Massive rib/finger collars rose behind the head of the being and from these spike collars came bodies hanging like loose decorations, among the bodies hanging were those of Wilhelmus Escheveltus and Harakiri Haikarakainen.

The dark water below and the screaming, blinking and grinning clouds were all being pulled towards the being. The two general turn away from the being when they heard both Jahvi and the female Nepharite laughing, in fact most demons were now laughing. "Behold pitiful warriors and spirits of light. Gaze upon the form of Thagirion, the Daeva of death and Guardian of the necromancers." The being known as Thagirion look down on Jahvi and everyone near him, causing several knights to scream in both madness and fear.

"I protect all who seek knowledge and power from death, my services does not only extend to necromancers alone." the being spoke, it's booming voice echo throughout the world. Thagirion turn his attention to Ludwig. "So you are Ludwig. You don't match well with what I expected from you. For starters you are much smaller and you seem to have a hard time keeping your comrades around your company. They either fall into the clutches of death or darkness."

The two general decided that now was the best time to leave, as they created a new portal chains burst out of the ground and wrapped them up like a fly caught by a spider's web. Jahvi cackled as they struggle. "Oh I'm afraid you two aren't going anywhere. After all with Thagirion's arrive we must grace his coming with a sacrifice." he said, stretching his hands to the air and a crowd of demons cheering. Before they can began to slaughter the knights Thagirion stopped them. "Not yet my children, the main event is not over."

Inuu Residence

"Keep dreaming lover boy, keep dreaming." Alzis said in response to Crowe's claim that their relationship has a possibility of happening even if none of them can't see it happening with their powers. She saw Crowe's reaction to the news of what happened to Father Christmas and when he left Alzis remembered that the two of them were old friends. Alzis saw the door and saw the other group coming out.

"irresponsible? Fine I will admit that I can be somewhat crazy but irresponsible? Not that is nothing more but slander elf." Elizabeth said, apparently offended by Cyrssa's claim. "I promise that I won't let anyone harm or do anything funny to your aunt. Scout's honor." the mage said, warping her arm around Tessy and pulling their sides close. "You a girl scout Ellie? That is something that I have a hard time picturing." Alice said, obviously showing doubts on Elizabeth claim of being a scout or even having the same honor system as one. Tessy then responded.

"It's also hard for anyone to take your word seriously when you hand is slowly moving down my body." sure enough Elizabeth's hand stopped right around Tessy's hip. The occultist only gave her girlfriend the same grin that appears whenever she was ready to cause mischief. "But you don't seem to be bothered by this." Tessy blushed, Elizabeth was right with her guess. Tessy grabbed Elizabeth's hand and moved it up to her side, causing Elizabeth to wrap her arm around Tessy's waist.

"But I do mean it Tes, I won't let anyone or anything hurt you." Elizabeth said, her mischievous expression now replaced with a serious one. Tessy can hear the conviction in Elizabeth's voice and knew that she was being genuine with this promise, as the two walked into the portal Alice smiled at them. "You seem to be in a cheerful mood now." Tandem said to his human partner. "I'm just glad that Ellie is finally moving on after what happened back with Eden." This time knowing that talking about what happened with this Eden woman is a bad idea he went with a different topic.

"You know I can take you back home if you want?" Alice turn to face the man, giving him a confused look. "Really "Tom"? You stayed with me for almost a year, you should know by now that an adventure like this is what I always want. Why should I leave now just because I had a rough start. Besides I have an extremely smart super elf as my sidekick." she said giggling. Tandem snorting. "Me the sidekick? If anything you are my traveling companion Alice." the two of them soon were having a playful argument on who was the sidekick to the other.

"Idiots all of them." Alzis said, sighing as she shook her head about the company she was forced to travel with. As she was about to go into the portal Wasp grabbed her and pulled the woman away from the portal. "Let go of me Ahmarhan!" Wasp only responded with telling her to quit complaining as they saw the last person go into the portal which were the Moon Sisters. When he told her that she was going to die and Ashwood of all people was her killer she at first didn't believe him.

But as thought about it Ahmarhans were not known for being liars, sure they often withheld pieces of the truth but they never lied to people when they delivered major news like this. The fact that the perverted bard was her only choice of having a lasting legacy almost made let out a bitter laugh, mainly on how only a few minutes ago they were talking about a relationship between them.

Alzis stand still for a few minutes, her mind growing around the different ways to stop her death, the most common ones were of course to kill Elizabeth before she can kill her somehow. "No she is too well protected for me to kill her. There has to be another way." As Alzis thought on the ways to cheat her death she also thought about Crowe and how he can ultimately be the only way for her to have some sort of legacy. The Eyes of Fate will continue to exist but it will not be in the form that she shaped it to be once the Holders regain control over it.

"That perverted twit deserves to hear this since he is involved in this mess as well." she said with a heavy sigh, Alzis finally entered the portal. Once inside she saw that it was a Japanese themed restaurant and that along with members of her little party there were other beings inside as well. "Sorry we were late." The Moon Sisters said to the other beings inside the restaurant.

Shaking the Heavens and the Earth!
Ludwig VS The Dark Magus
天地ゆるがす!
ルートヴィヒ VS 闇の魔法使い
Part II

The lava burst upwards, with the fiery figure of the Dark Magus taking on gigantic proportions. The lava became darker and darker, until finally, it became nothing more than a humongous mass of the blackness. Ludwig charged further up into the air, with the gigantic figure of the Dark Magus following him and spewing bursts of black fire after the Phoenix. As the black figure of the former Tenshi reached out his gigantic, black, smoking arm after the Phoenix in an attempt to crush it, the latter crowed furiously and sent a burst of white fire at the hand.

The collision between the divine flames and the black hand of the Dark Magus caused an orb of pure energy to form in between the two, keeping both sides from reaching the other. It slowly grew, until finally, it ruptured, sending the gigantic black body of the Magus crashing back down into the depths, and Ludwig flying up into the sky uncontrollably. The moment the Magus hit the lava, another gigantic explosion boomed through the vicinity, with another gigantic mushroom of magma flying into the sky.

Ludwig, on the other hand, had flown almost a hundred kilometres into the sky. From his position, he could see the snowy plains of Dimension 888,815, with the gigantic crater in the middle that spewed out lava. He wasted no time, before charging back down to the ground, where the Magus drew a sword out of the blackness and attempted to hack at the Phoenix's wing, only to be kicked away from where he stood, flying across to another part of the Dimension that hadn't been ruptured and ruined with lava. Slowly, the Magus climbed to his feet, before raising his hands and attempting to fire at Ludwig.

It was at that moment, however, that the massive Daeva appeared from the lava.

"Lord Thagirion", said Ludwig, turning to face the gigantic thing that rose from the depths of the Dimension. He took the taunting of the eldritch beast silently, standing upright from his half-squatting stance and looking up at its head, and at the dead body of Wilhelmus, impaled on a spike that protruded from Thagirion.

"There is, unfortunately, a price that's to be paid when you treat one's subordinates like equals and like family. I realised that long ago, when Klingsor fell to the darkness."

This is a battle not worth fighting. And yet… I still believe Father Christmas can be redeemed.

"It is a price I'm more than willing to pay, of course, considering my Tenshi are all sentient beings with feelings and minds of their own, unlike what some worshippers and cults may believe."

Turning to face the two Knights of St Luminia, Ludwig gave a gesticulation that told them that it was best to leave the Dimension, and not to continue fighting a hopeless battle.

Any moment now…

"Of course, you devils would never understand these concepts of love, charity, and humanity, for all you crave is power, the instantly gratifying powers of the Darkness. And…"

At that moment, a portal flew open, and a muscular, blind man in a black yukata stepped over, withdrawing the Eternal Hammer from inside his cloak and raising it into the sky.

"Zatoichi! Now!" commanded Ludwig.

Zatoichi, the successor of Illushu, spun the Hammer about in the air.

"Garabitto!"

It was at that very moment that a Genesis Bomb flew across the portal and embedded itself in the snowy ground, its timer reading in gigantic red numerals: "00:45".

"Leviathan! Ziz!", called out Ludwig, "get out of here! Zatoichi's magic jammers are in place!"

Dimension 1,105
The Restaurant

"Why do you need to find-"

Before Kaidō could complete his statement, a portal opened up, and the Moon Sisters stepped across with the party members whom they had promised to bring along. The ones who came along with the Sisters looked rather strange, but in the Multiverse, as everybody knew, "everything goes". Hayashi and Kaidō bowed deeply, while Master Lam slowly got up and walked over to the three Moon Sisters and the ragtag bunch, shaking their hands individually and introducing himself.

"I'll contact Felix and tell him that we're all here", said Hayashi, stepping outside the Restaurant and closing the curtains. Just as Hayashi left, the curtains were thrown open, and the familiar figure of the disturbingly stoic yet huggable Steiner Sveinlaugsson stepped through.

"Does anybody have tissues?" asked Steiner in between large mouthfuls of raspberries. "I stepped on a puddle of water in my socks…" He trailed his sentence off as Kaidō stood up from his seat and walked over, patting him on the shoulder.

"They were very worried about you", said Kaidō, gesticulating at the Moon Sisters. "It's a good thing you're safe."

"That's looking on the bright side, I suppose", said Steiner tersely. "On the bad side, I've got holes in my hands and feet (courtesy of Iuzun), and I'm gonna be stuck with them forever and ever. I'll get used to it, though. Never really liked to eat M&Ms, anyway.

"In any case, Ludwig told me to join you guys while he goes to settle other things, like finding my Eternal Scales. So, you'll have another party member."

…

The Moon Sisters have arrived, and they've brought a pretty interesting bunch along with them. Don't worry about rushing too much, just make sure all of you come back in one piece.

The Duel of Holy Monarchs
Sol Kira VS Yaldabaoth
Part 1

Sol Kira's theme
Yaldabaoth theme

It was the Archon who made the first move as the giant flaming angels of metal and plasma ran towards Sol, each step leaving behind massive fiery footprints. Sol responded by charging towards the massive being but as he drew close the chancellor swiftly change his running direction to lean more to the left as he began to curve away from the Archon as Yaldabaoth raised his flaming sword wide into the air and slash it down to the ground, causing a shockwave of heated air and fire to spread around the impact site.

Sol was at the left leg of the Archon and made three slashes just as Yaldabaoth rose his leg up and attempted to stomp the smaller warrior down to the groin but Sol dodged the stomping attack by rolling away however a shockwave of heated air and fire caught him, causing his armor and clothing to catch on fire. Sol was forced to run away from Yaldabaoth while still covered in flames as the Archon continue to slash the Muun looking warrior with it's sword, leaving a streak of fire in the air. Sol eventually dropped down and began to roll as he moved away from a few stomps and punches from the metal angel, each blow releasing more shock waves that made it difficult for Sol to rid the fire off his body.

Just as Yaldabaoth was about to deliver one punch that would harm Sol the knight used his telekinetic powers to change the trajectory of the punch, hitting only a few inches away from him but causing the shock wave to hit him once more with fire. Sol's armor and clothing each contain materials that make him resistant towards element attacks, but Sol knows that these materials have their limits and if he drags this fight than nothing will protect him from the powerful flames being produced by his divine opponent.

Sol Kira got off the ground after the flames were put out from his body and he unleash three shadowy lightwaves from his sword, the first two hitting the Archon on the chest while the last one was blocked by the flame sword. Sol ran and dodged a pledging lunge from Yaldabaoth and now behind the archon delivered a powerful lunging thrust that made the arcane energy of the sword explode once it made contact on the Archon's body, causing Yaldabaoth to stagger and for Sol to gain more time to deliver more slashes on to his opponent's legs.

Sol charged more energy on to the Moonlight blade to increase the power of his attacks but before he can do so he saw the flaming sword coming towards him as the Archon attack from it's side. Sol blocked the attack but the strength of his opponent caused Sol to fly to a nearby wall, impacting roughly against the wall and knocking all of the air out of his lungs, Sol nearly dropped his weapon. Yaldabaoth fired off some of the plasma blades that made up it's wings, most of the blades hit randomly around the room exploding into large bursts of azure flames while others home on to Sol. Sol chanted a few words and soon an armored demon that resembled a humanoid crocodile hybrid manifested, the demon used it's powers to create an invisible barrier to protect Sol from the blades and the resulting explosions and fire.

With the demon on his side Sol charged towards the Archon and jumped right on time as it plunge it's sword on the exact ground he would have walked on. Standing on the flaming sword Sol can feel the intense heat on the soles of his feet but he ignored the pain as he unleash a powerful lightwave on to the Archon's face, causing blue magma to erupt from it's face and the Archon to scream in pain as his body fell down on the ground, clutching his bleeding face.

Sol got off the sword and went up the Archon's face and perform a powerful thrust that ended in a arcane explosion just before he removed the blade from inside the angel's face. Yaldabaoth screamed once more in agony and with his mighty wings began to fly away from Sol, the heated wind produced by the flapping was giving more fuel for the flames to become stronger and to spread, the blue was slowly being replaced by purple as the temperature of the flames increased.

More plasma blades were fired off and like before most blades only caused more fire to spread throughout the room so it would become harder for Sol to move around in the right place while a few actually aimed at him, only to be blocked by the demon's barrier. Due to how many patches of fire was in the room Sol was forced to run through the flames a few times as he went after the Archon, as he did said the same chants to unleash the same spell that he used on the fate soldier that he fought when he enter the secret section of the temple.

The white star-like orbs flew towards the Archon but it blocked most of them with it's wings, the energy of the orbs being absorbed and the plasma blades now glowing white hot. More of the blades were fired and this time every single one were targeting Sol. Sol raised his sword and a burst of arcane energy destroyed most of the blades with the few hitting the barrier and the demon guardian, causing the demon and barrier to fade away. Sol soon unleash a massive energy wave towards the Archon, hitting it and being rewarded by hearing it scream in pain and more magma erupting from it's body.

Soon Yaldabaoth exploded but instead of being gone for good his form changed, now featuring an ornate gold armor, a wreath-like design that is spewing out burst of fire like a jet engine to make up for it's lack of legs and a muscular male physique. The armor made the Archon look like an Egyptian god especially since it still retain it's human-like form. The flames around it's body were now purple with white outlines and it now possess six plasma blade wings.

"You have done well on surviving for this long Sol Kira. You have earn your right to be called a king. While you have earned my respect that is not enough for me to spare your life, at know that now I can grant you a warrior's death." Yaldabaoth said, the flames in the room changing color to fit with the flames on his body. Sol was having a hard time breath as smoke was filling the room, he tried his best to ignore the heat but now he knew that if heat exhaustion doesn't get to him than smoke inhalation will.

"I was worried that you were all talk on being a king who does nothing more but boast about your power, but you have proved yourself Archon. I will make sure that I grant you a death fitting for a god such as yourself." Sol kept his telekinetic grip on his sword strong. The battle outside between the knights, angels and fates no longer matter to the two warriors, this battle and room were the only things that were now important to them.

Alzis stayed silent as the stunt Alvaranian enforce his new rule among the ranks, not giving much of a reaction when one worker voiced his disapproval over his new boss. Suddenly Alzis heard the news that his female form got from Wasp was expressed clear shock, ignoring the scene of Iuzun beating on the worker who refuse to accept him as the new leader of the IGSE. Remembering where Alzis was he finally got himself back together so Iuzun would not see the shock on his face.

Just as Iuzun explained where the meeting will be held Alzis still kept his neutral expression that he had during most of the trip. "A few spirit wards would be nice to prevent magical and supernatural means on eavesdropping our conversation but I understand that when it comes to magic the IGSE has a rather... unfavorable attitude towards it." One of the advantages that The Fates always had over the IGSE back in the war was not only their magic but the fact they were willing to fuse it with technology.

"Now all I need is the magical knowledge stored by the Order of St Luminia and I can die somewhat happily." Alzis frown a little once he return back to the train of thought of his permanent death caused by Elizabeth, a mage who was both an enemy and occasional ally when it best suited both parties. She lead to his death before so now Alzis was wondering what was the major change for her to be able to kill him for good? "That string ritual and the partial awakening has to be the key to me death. Some how Ashwood will awaken again and once she does she will kill me. Wasp said that I can't prevent it but if I stop Ashwood from awakening again than I will continue to live."

Alzis thought as he followed Iuzun to the room for their alliance terms. Looking at it now not having to worry about the IGSE and the other Rokuōs will give him more time to find a way to cheat his demise and prove the Ahmarhan wrong. But he still kept the second option of asking Crowe for help open encase all else fails.

As Master Lam introduced himself to the group the others responded back by saying their names. "You know X we can heal those holes if you want? Even the bard here can help us out." Selene said once she heard what Iuzun did to the white haired boy, the goddess silently made a pledge to get revenge on the bounty hunter for what he did. Before either Elizabeth, Alzis or Tandem can say a word all three heard Alice make a loud aww as she rushed over and hugged Steiner. Both Elizabeth and Tandem chuckled as Alice's weakness for cute things once more gets the best of her.

"Sorry about that, cousin here is drawn to cute things or at least things she considers cute." Tandem asked Elizabeth by what she means by what Alice considers cute. "She places snakes, spiders, rats and certain bugs as cute. Things that most girls will say are the exact opposite." Elizabeth explained, Tandem simply giving an ah to the information. "I take it that most of your surviving family members are also have their own brand of insanity." Alzis said making Elizabeth give the woman a fake laugh. "Well at least I don't have multiple personality disorder, Oh witch queen of the magi." Alzis ignored Elizabeth's insult.

Tandem looked around the restaurant. "I have to say I'm surprised to see a Japanese restaurant this far in the multiverse." Tandem said as he inspects the place. As Elizabeth look at Steiner her eyes narrowed at the boy. "Oi kid, why is your aura that of a nepharite?" The Moon Sisters turn to Elizabeth shocked. "Nepharite? You know what type of demon put's blood inside X?!" Finally they got answers. Both Elizabeth and Alzis spoke at the same time. "Nepharites are not demons." The two of them stopped and looked at each other, before shrugging as Elizabeth kept on with her explantion.

"Nepharite only work for Inferno but they have been around for longer than demons, trust me, they may act and even look demonic but they are not demons." Alzis took her turn to speak. "Nepharites can be best summed up as sadistic spirits of guilt and pence along with torment. These beings can find those who feel guilty or are true sinners and take them into purgatories which are often a victim's own personal hell. A Nepharite will torture a victim long enough that they will forget everything on who they were before being taken into purgatory, then and only than will the Nepharite feel like letting them go to find new victims."

Tandem gave Alzis a fearful look and Tessy was similar, Alice too was afraid and Steiner can feel it as her arms tighten around him. "Those things exist in our world!" Alice shouted. Elizabeth reluctantly said yes, not really wanting to tell her that piece of information. "Some of those wankers were once humans before they willing change themselves into Nepharites. The main reason is always because they want to be immortal, powerful and to get away from the gates of Inferno. A bloody odd way of doing it if you ask me, work with hell so you don't become a tortured slave in hell." Elizabeth turn to Steiner. "As you now know, having their blood gives you some nifty powers but at a terrible cost. Both you and the Nepharite have a psychic bond so it can keep a track on you and it can control you with the blood along with weakening and attacking your body."

Alzis folded her arms. "Me and Ashwood here both are adapted on summoning creatures and spirits from the underworld but Nepharites are the one beings that we both seem to agree on never summoning unless we have no choice."

Both Leviathan and Ziz saw the message and agreed with him, but they soon saw the two Nepharites that would give them trouble. As they saw Ludwig talk to the being called a Daeva the two were impressed that Ludwig can keep his cool in front of the being. The abomination called Thagirion spoke when Ludwig claim that all he cared about was power. "You are right in a way that I crave power, but it is not power itself that I crave. It is knowledge that ultimately lead to great power that I desire most, there is a reason why I choose to become a guardian deity to mages who would seek out the secrets of death and the where else to find the greater truths of existence than inside darkness itself."

The other demons laughed at Ludwig, claiming how they were above petty human emotions and concepts and that he was a fool for clinging to those notions. The demons, nepharites, daeva and two general saw the new tenshis appear swinging his eternal hammer, both Levi and Ziz knew this was their chance. The two women cast various spells at the distracted Nepharites, a strong gust of wind from Ziz to Jahvi and crystal spikes from Levi to the female Napharite. With the two beings either encased in ice or blown away the two woman and the rest of the knights finally left the dimension as the Genesis Bomb dropped down.

The demons roared out once they saw the bomb. "How interesting, willing to use the weapons of your enemies. Your precious bomb may work well with the legions of the demonic and damned but against a Daeva you will need to do better spirit." Below the Genesis Bomb a dimensional rift appeared, taking the bomb to a pocket dimension that was a black, lifeless void. Once the time reach zero the rift closed itself before the energy can escape back into the world it was meant to destroy.

"I have to thank you Ludwig, without your attempt on my very being I would have never become the creator of a new universe. Ah the new followers that I will have one life can begin in that dimension." Thagirion and the other infernal beings laughed at Ludwig's failed attempt on destroying them all.

Steiner was somewhat taken aback by Alice's sudden outburst of emotion and hug, and (for once), showed a slight tinge of surprise, his face cringing surprisedly.

"That was rather unexpected", he remarked, stuffing another handful of raspberries into his mouth as soon as Alice let go of him. "I never knew that I was cute, though to be honest, I do not know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. It tends to be subjective anyway, and results on cuteness vary from place to place…"

After swallowing, he moved over to one of the cushiony seats at the bar and sat down there with his left knee pulled up to his chest.

"I suppose we could fix those holes some other day, when it's more convenient", he said to the Moon Sisters rather dismissively, fiddling with the hem of his white pyjama pants' left leg. "What I'm more concerned about is the fact that I've got Nepharite blood pumping through my arteries and veins at this very moment. Fortunately, if magic can't do the trick, then science will have the answer. Or, in our case, an amalgam of the two." He stopped, turned to face the wall, and withdrew a pencil from his pocket.

"Can I draw on the wall?" he asked Kaidō. The fat Japanese man nodded back in silent, baffled approval.

Without delay, Steiner motioned for the rest to gather round his seat (a bit difficult, considering the fact that many of the others towered way above his 176cm, more so when he was sitting on a bar chair), before drawing a large box on the wall with his pencil.

"So, I've done a bit of research on the Nepharites both before and after my… stint… in Iuzun's torture dungeon. Just recently, I was given a sample of Nepharite blood by my colleague Kizaru, who was, somehow, able to get his mitts on Nepharite blood. I'm going to tell you all that between a Nepharite and a Necroincubus, I'd choose the Necroincubus any day."

A few muted murmurs throughout the room and a brief, soft chuckle.

"Anyway, I was somehow able to procure a bunch of scientists and a laboratory with which I was able to supervise tests on the blood. It has roughly the same viscosity as normal blood, but contains a strangely high amount of hydrocarbon molecules and, most surprisingly, contains a strange molecule instead of haemoglobin. It looked like cyclopentane, but it contained a single atom in what would have been a carbon atom in the pentane ring which none of us were able to isolate or identify. The thing I noticed is that said atom was radioactive, and decayed into francium. Thankfully, I've only got about 1cm^3 of the blood inside my body, so the radiation probably isn't causing too much damage.

"Still, though, I wonder what that atom was…" Steiner's voice trailed off as he maintained his position on the bar chair, sitting with one foot on the seat and continuing to eat the raspberries he had brought along. "Once I separate the Nepharite blood from my own blood (which I believe to be possible), I'll probably run a few more tests on it one way or another. Then maybe we could fix those holes in my hands and feet, and I could switch back to wearing flip flops again."

Master Lam giggled quietly behind Steiner's back. "He's a cute one", whispered Hayashi to the Grandmaster, out of earshot of everybody else. "I already told you so."

"So", asked Kaidō, directing the question to Elizabeth and Alzis, "what methods are there to deal with Nepharites?"

---

Got it; unfortunately, me and Hiccup are currently stuck here on Inalbo trying to decide whether or not to go pick up that last guy. We've already got a lot of people on our party, so I don't really think it's necessary. Still, if anybody insists that it's absolutely necessary to have a master thief on our team, then I'd be willing to go hunt him down…

Ludwig smiled sardonically as both of the St Luminia Knights left the doomed dimension. Behind him was the Dark Magus, clenching his fists and drooling from behind his mask. In front of him were the Daevas and the demons. Beside him was the successor of Illushu, Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman.

"We're going to have to settle this one day, Thagirion", said Ludwig. "For now, there are other matters to attend to. So…" He raised his hand and opened a portal below the Magus, causing him to fall through into another dimension with a scream of shock. Zatoichi, too, opened up another portal and went across to the Hotel, leaving Ludwig alone in the doomed dimension of Father Christmas.

"Auf Wiedersehen", said Ludwig dryly, before raising both his hands into the air and sending a pillar of white fire into the sky. That same moment, the entire sky was illuminated once again, the darkness fighting with the divine fire until they came to a partition and left half the Dimension in darkness and half the Dimension in light. As the lava continued to burn below, snow kept falling from the endless sky, now cut in half by the opposing forces of light and darkness.

"Now let's see what'll happen, Thagirion."

IDJF Hideyoshi

Both of the Maju battleships had been downed by the Japanese super-starship. As the two crashed down into the atmosphere of Shen Tang and burned up promptly, the squadrons dispatched by the Hideyoshi returned to the ship, before Fleet Admiral Takada took up a position at the control panel, looking out of the window at the raging battle that took place both near and far from the planet.

"Shall we go straight into the Maju Fleet's heart and take out the flagship of Nixa?" she asked daringly, almost excitedly. The men around her nodded and cheered, as the drivers of the ship changed course and headed directly towards the Maju Fleet…

"IDJF Nobunaga, this is Fleet Admiral Takada. We are heading directly towards the Maju Fleet on purpose; I repeat, we are heading directly towards the Maju Fleet on purpose. I have a plan in mind. In the meantime, send a message to the Jiang Dynasty Military HQ and ask for further aid requests. We may need you, our reserves, to enter soon…

The Overseer/Fanatic
The Restaurant

The Overseer leaned back in his chair. As he was about to answer, a group came through, one of which he recognized as Alzis though in a different form to which Fanatic had shot at. It was likely Alzis would actually recognize Fanatic by the clothing he was wearing though his face was twisted and contorted to that of a demon thanks to The Overseer possessing him. He turned back to the man to answer his question "I'm an old friend of hers simply wishing to see her again" He said in a sincere way as he picked up yet another tea pot and poured the tea into his gaping maw. This of course was a lie, though he seemed calm, The Overseer was furiously angry and anyone who could read emotions would be taken back by all the anger inside him. He knew what he was going to do when he found Sarah, and he was going to butcher her. Then he was going to find the rest of the people who put him in Hell and do the same to them too.

Sarah

Sarah sighed and looked around the town before smiling upon having an idea "You know, we could fight fire with fire here" She bit her lip, still smiling "If we could some how emulate the same luck Gabriel was having then we could very likely find him" She folded her arms and thought for a moment. If there was anywhere where they could get charmed with so much luck it was back at that hilariously out of place Japanese restaurant they were just at. Some of the beings there looked like they could give them that kind of luck if they asked nicely...or ya know...threatened them.

[Contamenesia]

Jason

Jason saw through the Overseer. Jason could hear his music within the Calm. He was not fooled. He unsheathed his blade and suddenly appeared right in front of him with his sword to his neck. "I give you only this warning: Leave and you will live." The Calm was with Jason. he could not be fooled nor surprised. With the Calm, he was Limitless. Jason had synched his music with the Overseer's and could even hear the music of the Fanatic, hidden within the Overseer's music, and was in sync with the music of everything and one around him. The music only Jason could hear, yet it was his greatest weapon. He had the Calm. Jason was Calm.

Wasp

Wasp looked at the scene between Jason and the Overseer. He then used his power, and thus he was now the Overseer whilst the overseer was now no one. Wasp had taken his powers and identity, albeit temporarily, but this act focred the Overseer out of the Fanatic as he no longer possessed the ability of possession of any sort. "Jason had good reason to be alarmed. The man is a twisted being,possessing another twisted being, so to speak." Wasp said in a calm manner, though not like Jason's Calm.

Cyrssa

Cyrssa folded her arms, "See? you cant even go three seconds without encountering some twisted evil! I knew it was wise of me to come along, you would have gotten my aunt killed..." she said with anger at Elizabeth.

Kyuubi

"While's sarah's point is not bad, i would like to point out while finding him is difficult finding where he has been, is not. in fact its actually ,pretty easy if you know how to look. Okay, so if he robbed that place, and got this guy fired, it should be easy to pick up from there, just follow the trail and it should lead us right to him. but if you want, we could go with Sarah's idea...." Kyuubi said genuinely. Kyuubi knew that if she met with the others, even Wasp would not recognize her unless she used her powers.

Inalbo

"Now that you mention it", said Mera, "tracking him would be pretty easy. It'd require a bit of clairvoyant tracing on my part, but I think it could be done." Felix stood at one side and glared indirectly at the now-grovelling Mokiim, while Hiccup went slightly closer to Mera, adjusting his metallic leg in the process.

"If you want, I could give it a try. We Tenshi are fluent in telepathy since we use it all the time. I could try to use it in a way that allows me to see where he's gone."

As the strange débâcle with the Overseer was brought to a swift end by some of the new party members, a few of the others in the room looked on in shock, awed by the powers displayed by the beings gathered in the Hotel.

"By God!" exclaimed Henry, "if only my motor- no- wife and kids could see this now!"

As the others gathered around the spectacle, Steiner sat on his bar chair calmly, while Master Lam stood by one side, leaning against the bar table and folding his arms.

"This is the true power of the Multiverse", said the Grandmaster cooly. The white haired boy simply remained in his sitting-squatting position on the chair, eating more raspberries and twirling his hair, while gazing silently at the happenings in the room.

"Do not worry. There are Magic Jammers installed all over this building; the few places where portals can be opened or eavesdropping can be carried out are closely guarded by the IGSE's full time soldiers."

Sarah

Sarah nodded at that idea of tracking her "I suppose that might be easier" She sighed, thinking she might have come up with some sort of breakthrough on the situation. But as always, the old method seems to take priority. And that wasn't a bad thing of course, tracking a target has proved very effective in the past.

Hell
Capital Dis
Dungeons

The Warden sat at his desk flicking through today's news on his computer, coming across an article about a health inspector falling into the pit during an inspection. Irony not only because a demon fell into the pit where the damned burn for eternity or until they turn into demons and also ironic because the health inspector fell victim to poor safety measures "Heh. Probably should get some railings installed around that pit mr health inspector" The Warden chuckled to himself, making merry of another's misfortune. That was when the alarm went off, causing the Warden to groan and roll his eyes. He pressed a button on his keyboard and saw that the alert was coming from the deepest cell block in the dungeon where the most dangerous convicts of Hell were held. The Overseer had escaped some how "Oh fuck, the King is going to have my ass for this" He looked at the screen worried before standing up, looking over at a secretary "Get in contact with Lord Baskavilles, tell him I have a situation" He called over to the secretary who nodded as the Warden left the room, grabbing his Inferno Pistol as he left.

The Warden teleported into the deepest dungeon where two Demon guards were already searching The Overseer's cell, convicts looking out of their cell yelling obscenities at the Warden and the guards as they searched. Then suddenly heard a voice behind him "Is there a problem here, Godfry?" The voice asked. The Warden noticed a tall, horned shadow in front of him to which he turned to see a 20 foot tall horned beast of a humanoid clad in black plate armor. Huge, dark red bat like wings were folded in around the figure's back. This figure was Lord Baskavilles, a Hell Knight and an officer in the Black Hand. The Warden nodded and frowned "Indeed my lord. The Overseer escaped" The Warden simply said, trying to speak over the convicts yelling at them "Alright scum quiet down!" He yelled towards them, firing his Inferno Pistol in the air producing a ear shattering banging noise that shut everyone up "You two, interrogate these skid marks and find out what they know" The Warden said to the two guards who bowed their heads and left the room.

Lord Baskavilles sighed and folded his arms "You know you're going to be in hot water if King Belial or Queen Byleth finds out about this don't you?" The Hell Knight said in a stern manner "Exactly, that's why I'm calling in that favor. I want you to take a squad of those elite Black Hand troops and capture him. If you can't bring him back alive at least keep in good enough condition that I can use sticks to prop his corpse up in his cell to make him look alive" The Warden grinned and raised his eyebrows to the Hell Knight who simply giggled and sighed "Fine. I'll bring him back" With that, Lord Baskavilles teleported out of the dungeon.

The Overseer

Fanatic's eyes widened as a black essence came flooding out of his chest and reformed on the floor as a black humanoid figure with glowing red eyes with horns, standing around 7 foot tall. Fanatic fell backwards unconscious whilst The Overseer was on his hands and knees in front of Jason. He grunted and stood up, looking down at Jason with his piercing red eyes "My quarrel isn't with either of you, you fools!" He looked at both Wasp and Jason before realizing something. His eyes actually widened and he froze in his spot "They are coming" He said in a fearful voice as the sound of a portal opening in another room was heard along with the sound of distorted voices and many footsteps. Normally he wouldn't be scared but he had no powers to fight with.

The door opened into the Restaurant and 20 - 30 Black Hand soldiers walked in the room and surrounded The Overseer with their Hell Fire Rifles trained on him, rifles that looked alien but at the same time something only the unholy would forge. Their black and red uniforms beared the mark of Hell, a pentagram with a demonic looking skull in the middle was located on their arms. On their chest plates were a large black hand print. These were the elite soldiers of Lucifer. Slow clumping footsteps came into the room, a huge armored demon slowly walked towards and stopped in front of The Overseer "I think it's time to go Overseer. Lets not give these people any more trouble than they have hmm?" Lord Baskervilles said in a calm manner as he rested his right hand on the hilt of his rather large looking sword. Things were definitely not looking good for the Shadow Demon.

[Generailia]

Dennis

Dennis was relieved when Elizabeth and her small group exited being how he quickly learned that the decision to simply go outside and find the portal for themselves might not have been his most thought out one. But the Lich was quick to follow once they passed by him but he quickly decided to ignore their conversations since they seemed to be both personal and severely lacking useful information. This of course didn't stop his grin from growing simply due to the lighthearted mood that such simple small talk emanated. Sadly, due to this mood he ended up missing the honey bees attempt at kidnapping the gender confused douche that was accompanying him yet again.

So when the thief entered the restaurant he missed the moon sisters's statement entirely as he stood there in temporary astonishment. Since it might not be the first Japanese themed restaurant that he'd been to, but it certainly was the first where he had little to no current intentions of stealing some of their food and perhaps a wallet or two along the way. Yet it didn't take long for the undead to return to his senses and once he did the images of even more strange people who bowed to them as if they where some sort of oddly dressed yet ancient "gentleman" before another man within the room slowly rose and after greeting a few of his other fellow party members, attempted to shake his hand.

Which of course caused the mage to take it quite quickly but rather awkwardly as he instinctively scanned the man who called himself Lamb in complete and utter silence before he moved onto the demoness beside him. Who shook his hand accordingly and called herself 'Abby' for some strange reason while the soldier mistook him for a pickpocket and made it clear by slapping away his hand and glaring at the man that he really misunderstood the gesture completely. But much to the creature's disappointment he really didn't have much time to think on his rather strange findings that the brief scan revealed being how a strangely familiar boy revealed himself.

Which was of course something that the thief found to be quite odd. Since he never saw the brat in his life, but some part of him did see such a figure before. These pointless thought of course caused him to miss what the kid said and he only came to once he heard someone state that they had another party member. This was of course not something that the Lich wanted since it'll mean that he will share the loot with another person but he simply accepted it with a shrug as the fairly attractive woman with a rather threatening shadow hugged the strange boy much like she had hugged the female bard.

Then suddenly things went from the sadly short lasting pleasant mood to Nepcarat 101 in little more then a second. So the creature quickly allowed his mind to wonder through the immensely dull lesson when he noticed the kitten besides him glaring rather harshly at a rather hideous man whose face reminded him faintly of some sort of lesser demon. This brief examination of course ended when shit suddenly went real when the double team of asshole goths kicked his ass in seconds. Which of course left him and the two strange beings to either side of him completely astonished until the honey bee pretty much explained that a dickhead was being possessed by an even bigger dickhead. So he took a few seconds to regain his already disturbed composure while Aeris seemed to be already recovered the the soldier seemed oddly passive and more observant then anything before the shadow demon spoke with it's oddly red eyes being visible.

The mage was clearly confused by his first statement as he thought. Then why the hell would you be here in the first place?! I doubt your here for the fucking food! But after hearing his sudden statement which actually caused more humor for him then alarm as 20-30 armed soldiers came in and even surrounded the poor fuck before some dumbass who seems to think that the world in still in the medieval ages came in before announcing that they intended to kidnap the poor abomination. Which caused the creature to sigh as he fought the urge to protect the poor fuck simply because the soldier looked a lot worse then him and their leader seemed oddly calm for a kidnapper which just increased his annoyance significantly. While the demonic feline hide moved a bit farther back while carefully watching the armored man, the soldier in the meantime looked ready to take all of the newcomers on singlehandedly.

[Naval Monte]

Dimension 1,105
The Restaurant

After seeing Jason and Wasp take out the Overseer Elizabeth walked up to Cyrssa, leaning down so Elizabeth was face to face with the long ear techno wizard. "Listen here elf, I have dealt with tossers like that one while you were still in training bras. So don't think that I can't defend Tessy from whatever twisted sod the multiverse will throw at us because I already experience dealing with the worst from my little corner of existence." Elizabeth hissed, furious at the Alvaranian for thinking that she would fail in seconds.

Tessy came between the two of them and gently pulled Elizabeth away from Cyrssa. "No fighting you two. We're suppose to work as a team to get this jewel, snapping at each other at every turn isn't going to help anyone." Tessy said sternly. Elizabeth only made a hmph and turn away from Cyrssa, Tessy sighed and shook her head at the two of them. When both Elizabeth and Alzis were asked on how to deal with Nepharite it was the leader of The Fates that answered first.

"The same wards that keep most supernatural being at bay also work with Nepharites, infact we can also use them to block the link that your friend has with the Nepharite." Elizabeth then spoke up. "But doing that may cause the Nepharite in question to start attacking your friend by using the blood. I've seen Nepharites make the skin of their victims bubble, blister and in one case even melt off. It can also attack his bones to make them weaker and cause organ failure." Elizabeth pointed at the side of her head. "The blood can also attack his brain if that Nepharite is feeling especially sadistic."

Both Tandem and Tessy gulped when they heard those tidbit of information, each one thought on how they can deal with the blood but now find that their ideas may not work since the blood can act as a semi-sentient entity and become hostile if it feels threaten. "As for removing it well your in luck mate, the blood can be removed. To make a very long story short I was in accident and while in the hospital this one Nepharite called Jahvi came to my room and gave me it's blood because it wanted me in it's plan. I didn't follow through with the plan and along the way weaken the bastard enough that I was given a few months of freedom to remove the blood from my body... But I had to make a golem that ended becoming a demonic doppelganger."

Elizabeth explained, causing some of the people in the room to look at her silently. "Cryssa is right, your really are a bag of crazy." Tandem said half jokingly. Elizabeth smirked. "Well when the world around you is mad is it really hard to imagine that I would also go mad as well?" the mage mused, taking a seat by the bar counter. Just then the Black Hand finally arrived making Tandem stay close to Alice to defend her encase they decide to attack the group while Tessy moved close to Cyrssa.

"Who are you demons?!" The Moon Sisters said, preparing a spell encase the Black Hand attack. Elizabeth reach down to the vortex generator and activated, causing a pack of Razides and a squad of Desparytes to be created and controlled by Elizabeth's thoughts. The iron helmet black robed demons known as Despartes held both melee and firearms on their long delicate hands while the Razides, demons made of scarred, burnt and rotten organs and tissues encase in an exoskeleton of black iron and glass with plastic tubing around them either stand on two or on all four, ready to strike when commanded.

Floating on the air was a carbon copy of the Nepharite Jahvi, grinning down at the Black Hand as small dark rifts opened up. Elizabeth got up from her seat with her hands in her coat pocket. "If you chaps want the dark wanker who likes to make even lesser wankers his meat puppet than take him, no one here will stop you. But if your also here to cause trouble than we have problems." The confident mage said with the horde of projected demons behind her.

After the light show made by Ludwig the Daeva sent a telepathic message to every last being in Inferno in the Dimension, he told them all to leave. Many of them didn't quite understand why he would want them all to leave but they all obeyed and soon many of them began to depart from the dimension. "I'm afraid you are right in one regard Ludwig, our matter will have to be settled for another time." The dark half was slowly being changed to fit with the light as the incarnate of Thagirion begins to vanish.

"But I will give a warning Ludwig. The light that you fight for is also home to great evil as well and what would you do when your one advantage against the dark is rendered useless against the monsters of light?" The Daeva question, more of it's form becoming transparent as it slowly fades away. From the sky of the dimension a green fog appeared with bolts of lightning being fired off at random, from the fog Logan and the Sycamore appeared.

Logan was not aware that the dimension was lost, for all he knows it was still own by the IGSE. He fired the cherry-red beam signature to that of the star breakers within the Sycamore and hit the sun of the dimension, the beam coherent gravitational waves has to disrupted the core of the sun so much that it now has four days left before it finally goes supernova. Before anyone can attack the ship Logan activated the resonator and fled to another universe, once in there he will attack yet another base own by the IGSE.

Thagirion felt the arrival of the Sycamore, the firing of the star breaker and the disruption down to the sun's core. The Daeva could warn the holy spirit that this world was doomed but he chose not too. Instead the Daeva only stared at the spirit as he finally faded away, light and snow returning to the doomed world.

"I would have used different tools but the method would have been similar. So now that we have security out of the way let's not delay any longer. I have a few projects that I wish to be done before I'm forced into new operations due to some... recent news." Alzis said, being vague on what sort of news was given to him.

Alzis

The mask that this Alzis wore hide whatever expression he had, so none can tell how he felt when all of the weapons evaporated and when Svaboda decided to be a smart ass. "I'm sure you are aware of cloning right? Is it wrong for one to make clones but make them different so no one can confuse which one is the real one?" Alzis asked, clearing giving out the wrong information about his bodies and their connection.

Alzis turn his attention to the golem. "Feronia. Tell us who created you and share to use the contents of the library that are contained in your head. If you comply we will grant all of the people in that village that you care for every single form of comforts they will ever want." He said with a generous tone, bowing to the golem to show her that he was a man of his word or at least appears to be one.

Hotel

Both Leviathan and Ziz along with the other knights appeared inside the lobby of the hotel. The two women fell back on the floor and were taking deep breaths. "Can you still stand sister Levi?" Ziz asked, Leviathan reassured her that she can still keep on walking. Ziz ordered a cleric to begin healing Leviathan as she began to check the condition of the other knights, each one sustained various degrees of injuries.

Ziz saw a messenger running towards them. "General Ziz I have urgent news!" The messenger told her what was happening back in her home world, she and the other knights were gaping in horror. "Tell the other knights throughout the multiverse to return back to the temple. If The Fates want to play like this than they will reap the seeds of their own destruction." Ziz seethed with rage over the news of the attack.

While she was angry over the attack she was mostly worried over Sol who was in the temple and hasn't been seen since he entered the secret archives and vaults of the temple. Ziz prayed for Sol's safety and survival. Ziz soon turn her attention back to the knights with her and began to heal out on the healing efforts so they all will be in a good condition to fight off the invading armies.

Dimension 4,200

The world in this dimensions it fits into the category of a biome dimensions, similar to the likes of 888,815. This one is a gigantic tropical jungle dimension, with a massive metropolis in the middle, funded (of course), by the IGSE. The population consists mainly of Twi'leks, dwarfs, and the three Malacandrian races. The green energy fog that signals the arrival of the Sycamore soon manifested and with it the ship itself.

Logan knew that the population of the world will most likely detect his presence but he knew that they don't posses neither the technology nor magic to stop him. Turning the ship over to face the sun Logan soon emitted of the star breaker's beam at the star. He decided to test the true endurance power of the Sycamore by keeping it close to the world so when the star finally goes supernova, which in four hours it will, he will not only know powerful the material of the ship is but if he survives he will get to see the destruction of a world own by the IGSE.

Logan turn to ship over and sure enough he saw ships coming towards his position, he wasn't a pilot but having both the AI and the Sentience of the Sycamore on his side should help him even the odds.

"I still recognise the Nepharite who approached me", said Steiner, lifting his left leg up and trying to find the wet spot on his sock. "Kizaru knows quite a fair bit about the Nepharites too; if we want, we could get him to hunt down Jahvi and hold him at knifepoint till he agrees to remove his blood from my body.

"Of course, considering how we'd do good to get the Jewel as soon as possible, a simpler option would be to remove the blood right here and now. Master Lam, you are familiar with the art of Separation Acupuncture, are you not?"

"Unfortunately, I'm not", said Master Lam, shaking his head and sipping the Japanese restaurant's never-ending tea, "I think you're referring to Master Wong Kai Yu; he once used his acupuncture to separate a Devil Fruit's resident devil from a man's bloodstream; Nepharite blood should be no big deal to him."

"It's not that easy", replied Steiner, "considering the fact that the blood could probably sense that we mean harm to it, and may fight back. Hence, I propose another plan of action.

"Firstly, you call Master Wong Kai Yu over, and get him to come along with us to Chphlyggnu. That world weakens all magic and supernatural powers indiscriminately, ergo we'll be weakened somewhat, but so will the blood. When that's done, the Moon Sisters can use what's left of their magic to subdue the weakened blood completely, and Master Wong can extract it using Separation Acupuncture."

Without waiting for a response, both Master Lam and Steiner turned to face the rest of the group.

"Let's not trouble them any longer", said the white haired boy flatly, tossing an empty raspberry box into a bin and taking out another one from the insulator bag. "It seems they're just after that… demon thing… so we'll probably not need to get involved with that hullabaloo. In the meantime, we could sit around in a circle (at this point, Kaidō went about pushing the tables around to clear a large space) and introduce ourselves a bit. It sounds childish, but to be quite frank, it's the best method to introduce yourselves in this particular form of social gathering…" He sat upright in his chair and glanced over at the Moon Sisters, his elbow still resting on his left knee, his left foot still on the seat.

An awkward silence reigned in that part of the restaurant for a moment.

"Perhaps I could start", said Kaidō. "My name is Kaidō Onichiro, or "海斗恩一郎" (he scribbled on the wall with Steiner's pencil, which was left on the table), for those who prefer Kanji. I was born in one of the Japanese Galaxies and raised on the planet Nagoya, and… um…"

A few awkward stares from various other people in the place.

…

"Hello? Master Wong?"

"Kim An."

"Ah, yes, Mr Kai Yu, long time no see. I'm gonna need you to come by to Dimension 1,105 right away; there's something that needs to be done. Somebody is in need of Separation Acupuncture."

"I'm rather xiân* right now, so… why not?"

"Great!"

"See you in… um… five minutes. Bye."

Pallas

Ludwig had wasted no time in leaving the doomed Dimension 888,815, heading straight for the dimension he had sent Father Christmas (or rather, the Dark Magus) to, the eternal grassy plains of Dimension 1,057,901,664. The moment he got across, he was confronted by the black robed and masked Magus. Without the presence of either Nixa or the Daevas, the former Tenshi no longer gave off as powerful an evil aura as he did back on Dimension 888,815; however, he was still a force to be reckoned with.

"Shall we continue with our fight now, Phoenix?"

"Separation Acupuncture? That shite would have been hell of a lot useful back when I had Jahvi's tainted blood coursing through my veins." said Elizabeth, not being fond of remember how she actually got rid of the blood that was in her. "I'm not to surprised that at least one of you know who they are; some mages would be lucky on even hearing their names once in their life time. That plan isn't going to work because Jahvi will slink off to his purgatory and the last place you want a Nepharite to be in is there. Once in purgatory Nepharites are essentially gods."

Elizabeth had personal experience on being inside a purgatory with a nepharite still inside, it was on of her more tense moments as she was very much close to death back then. "It won't be easy but if you do end up in purgatory the only course you have to take is getting out of there." Elizabeth warned. When they mention that the world she was going in will weaken all magical and supernatural powers Elizabeth twitched in annoyance, even Alzis followed Elizabeth's lead.

The two of them turn to the Moon Sisters. "You never told us that we would have our powers weaken in that place." the two of them said together, the demonic projections that Elizabeth created now turning to the trio goddess and were growling at them. "That bit of information may have slipped past our minds, can you blame us we weren't expecting to see two world merge into one and than have all forms of entering and exiting said new world temporarily blocked." The sisters said defensively.

When Steiner mention on leaving the Black Hand alone Alice snorted. "Really, hullabaloo?" she said, for some reason finding it funny that he used that word for the current situation. Once the table was set up they began to introductions. "Really we're introducing ourselves in this manner?" Alzis said, rolling her eyes at the childish manner that the tenshis show. "Fine. My name is Alzis and I'm the figurehead of the Eyes of Fate." Alzis bluntly stated, she didn't see the need to give away anymore info about herself.

"I'm Tandem and I'm an Alvaranian who travels from different universes to study and experience all the various cultures the multiverse has to offer." Alice was the next one to join after Tandem was down. "My name is Alice Carter though my other last name can be Ashwood but my parents went with my mom's last name. Compare to my cousin and long eared friend I'm normal. I'm just a college student who runs a channel that deals with paranormal and conspiracy stuff along with horror based fiction. I had a few actual paranormal encounters but none of them like my cousin." Alice said, feeling a bit shy after speaking since she feels like she sticks out badly when compared to everyone else.

"My name is Tessy Inuu and like Alice I don't have any supernatural powers. When I'm not helping out my sister on raising my family and taking care of the house I act as both caretaker and doctor for anyone sick or injured. Depending on how severe the injuries or illness are my niece will help me out with her technology." Tessy said with a pleasant smile, Tessy can see that she made Alice better on knowing that she wasn't the only normal member in the group.

"The names Elizabeth Ashwood. I'm an occult investigator, part time exorcist and demonologist, unwilling spirit medium, pseudo psycho, and occasional dabbler of the dark arts." Elizabeth said, ignoring Alzis muttering the words thief and con artist. "Confidence woman is true, you keep calling me a thief because I'm a chaos mage." The Moon Sisters took this as their chance to speak. "I'm Artemis, I'm Selene and I'm Hecate. We are..." before the Moon Sisters can finish both Elizabeth and Alice interrupt them. "The triple goddesses." The two of them gave a brief explanation of what the triple goddesses was.

"Well.. I guess that cuts down on a lengthy introduction." Selene said, making Elizabeth smirk. "When your mother was a Neopagan witch certain concepts from that faith becomes known to you." Alice was now giving Elizabeth the same grin that Elizabeth would have when she was being mischievous. "That must have been an interesting time huh dear cousin? Tell us, how was it like to live with a witch as widdle Ellie?" Elizabeth facepalm as Alice when she gave her that nickname, trying her best to hide her blush. "I can't bloody believe it, you made that nickname even worse." Alice's only response was laughter, even Tessy was containing her laugh along with Tandem and the Moon Sisters. Alzis was doing a better job at suppressing her amusement.

[Generailia]

Dennis

Dennis was still thinking about just what exactly he should do when the triple yet oddly weak goddesses finally responded to the demons. Yet such a thing was nothing compared to Glinda's summoning of hell's entire fucking army. Which would been impressive if they didn't look just as ready to kill him as they were to kill the beings they were intended to combat. Yet the Lich was slightly disturbed by the ever so familiar flouting figure grinning at their new guests and missed Elizabeth's response due to the fact that he was trying to remember what the abomination gave as it's name. What was it..James, Jeremy, John, or fucking Janette? I know the damn thing's name started with a J.. Sadly, the thief's train of thought disappeared with astounding speed once the bratty looking kid decided to speak up.

Which of course caused him to listen and after the strange boy finished talking the creature looked at him with obvious astonishment as he thought. We have a small force of armed demonic kidnappers and he wants us to gather up in a fucking circle and sing kumbaya?! Then after one man who later named himself Kado began to speak he sighed before continuing. We're really doing this aren't we? Damn it, I guess I'll play along after a few others give their names. Then the mage calmed down as he crouched down on the floor short after Alzis began to speak and simply listened.

The undead already knew a few of their names anyway so it was rather half-assedly of course. But he most certainly agreed with the gender confused business person's statement about how absurd such a thing felt yet he kept his usual grin on his face nonetheless. Sadly, he couldn't help it from falling a little after everyone decided to give a short fucking autobiography when they could have just told their fucking names so he only really paid attention to the start of it and spent the rest attempting to shove the thing into his memory. Yet when they finally finished his grin restored itself to it's former glory after the little bit of light humor that followed such a thing came to past. Then after the laughing died down a bit he rose to his feat and stated simply. "You can call me Dennis Bradford and I'm just a master thief who knows a little bit of magic." The Lich's grin rose after he finished saying "little a bit of magic" due to the fact that such a thing is a complete understatement. Then after a brief pause he clapped his hands together and said. "Oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell you that I'm pretty much a walking corpse as well. Sorry about that." Then the thief simply crouched back down again and after letting his hands lazily hang off of his knees he simply watched the small force of armed demons along with the summoned ones with an equal amount of caution patiently waiting for them to do something or just for some other being within the room to introduce themselves.

Aeris

Aeris was still attempting to avoid detection from the small demonic force just encase they mistook her for one of their own who had gone rogue when she heard the Moon Sisters's response and even felt their power increase slightly. This of course made the demonic feline a bit nervous since such a thing tends to mean that they're preparing a spell but this of course doesn't compare to the sudden small army of fairly familiar looking demons that 'Ellie' summoned which of course baffled her since they gave off the same power as illusions while seeming a lot more solid as well.

Yet it didn't take long for the cat to regain her composure shortly after the woman finished speaking but what confused her was the familiar looking boy's suggestion that they should ignore the demons completely and start introducing themselves! But that wasn't the worst of it sadly..since quite a few members of her part actually gave them! Thankfully, she was able to get over her astonishment very quickly and waited after the undead thief finished speaking to give them the alias that she'll use until the small force leaves at the very least.

So shortly after bony returned back to the position he was in before speaking she took a minute to calm herself before saying in a clearly unamused tone while still somehow having her usual grin across her face. "My name is Ab-" Then suddenly the immensely idiotic mage interrupted her by saying in a playful tone. "No it's not!" Which caused her to glare at the fool who responded by childishly waving at her as his usual grin lay across his face. Then she simply sighed before saying. "Nevermind." The girl then remained standing where she currently was and joined her summoner in his observance of the two demonic forces while making it appear as though she was silently glaring at the undead thief as well.

Adwith

Adwith was still unsure about whether the beings in front of him were shadowspawn or not. Since the flaming beings most certainly did in his eyes but they summoned more interested in the walking shadow then himself or his companions so he let them be for now even though he still held saidin just encase they decide to talk and was even in a stance that would make his first strike far more accurate then it would normally be under most circumstances. Sadly, he missed the words that the Moon Sisters spoke as Leonel practically screamed. Why do you falter soldier?! Our enemy has played his hand so we must respond! Yet you simply stand here and stare at them like a complete fool! Thankfully, the abominations that Elizabeth summoned quickly silenced the madman. Yet the borderlander needed to keep himself from attacking the strange creatures as well.

Then for some odd reason the men who were in such a strange place spoke of their goal before going of track yet again. So the mercenary took the time that they were blabbering about some 'Nepharite' creature to change his stance back into something defensive as he thought. These boneheaded men seem to prefer talking about their our flaming problems then the bloody goal that we came here to achieve in the first place! Suddenly, the strange boy spoke of actually ignoring the creatures that shared the same room as them in order to speak to one another and even flaming introduce themselves! Yet what had baffled him ever more was that one man even rose and did just that!

Thankfully the guardsman was able to get over the complete absurdity that surrounded him fairly quickly and even shoved the names and information that he heard into his memory. This of course does not mean that he was immune to bordem, which caused him to miss some of the far less important and completely ridiculous sounding information that escaped some of his companion's lips. Yet what confused him was that he could feel the long dead aes sedai listening as well while he was also fighting off saidin's usual assault at the same time.

But what had astonished him was that the thief not only admitted what he was but claimed to be 'undead' as if it was nothing! Which would make the one emotionless swordsman's claim far more truthful then he originally thought even though he still had no idea what those 'demon's' where just yet but he began to consider them to be another name the abominations that he swore to fight at a time when he was still a boy even though most viewed him as a man due to his age. Then after hearing the failed attempt at using a alias on the part of the strange girl's companion he rose and did a fairly polite bow that still felt a bit awkward for him as he said bluntly. "My name is Adwith Narder and I am a lord turned mercenary from Shienar which is based in the borderlands for those of you who do not know." Then once the man finished he moved his legs back into the stance before he began carefully watching the area around him while fighting his cursed power and ignoring the ravings that the voice in his head had went back to making at the same time.

"I'm Master Lam Kim An. I'm a Grandmaster, and I am the creator of the Red Snake Style. I'm also somewhat proficient in Nagi."

"My name is Henry Saladass. I'm a motorcycle guy- I mean- a family guy. A family guy, that's right. I'm coming along because I am a stepper, which is basically a being who can travel through the void, as well as allow other people to do so simultaneously."

As the others introduced themselves, Steiner sat crouched over on the bar chair, quietly watching the rest as they made acquaintances with the others and twirling his white hair. The fact that one of the Alzis' came along suggested that something was up; otherwise, why would a Dark Rokuō come down to try and find a Jewel which granted its user light powers? Something was amiss, but the white haired boy remained silent. That is, until the rest had finished their introductions.

"My name is Steiner Sveinlaugsson", he said. "I am a private investigator, and in that capacity, I call myself "X". There is no need to do that right now, as I am not acting in that capacity. I am also a Tenshi of the Hotel, and for that, I got these." He rolled up one of his excessively long pyjama sleeves and showed the crucifixion scar on that wrist to the rest of the group briefly, before rolling his sleeve back down. "Courtesy of the Alveranian Iuzun the Nibelung, the Greatest Bounty Hunter, who seems to be a Tenshi hunter as well as a-"

"Iuzun?" said Master Lam in shock.

"Yep, what about him?" asked the white haired boy.

"He was my personal apprentice for 15 years", came the Grandmaster's reply.

Silence reigned for a moment. Steiner raised one of his eyebrows, his face betraying no emotion whatsoever.

"Iuzun was one of my top students", said Master Lam. "He excelled in just about everything that I taught him, from swift fighting styles to meditation. And yet... something just seemed skewed about his personality. My fear was confirmed when, in the middle of the night 20 years ago, he massacred every single one of my other students and confronted me. I was able to defeat him, which explains why he's blind in one eye, but... I still tremble in fear at what he said to me before fleeing."

"What did he say?" asked Steiner inquisitively.

"He looked me straight in the eye with his good eye, ignoring the blood trickling down his face almost as if he felt no pain. He then said... no... I don't wish to repeat it. Not in such a public setting."

Steiner continued to gaze seemingly aimlessly, twirling the snow white hair on the side of his head.

"In any case", said Kaidō, "if he attempts to come at us again, he will have to deal with all of us at once. So let's not worry too much about him right now."

Steiner looked up for a brief moment, thoughtfully sucking on the tip of his thumb, before looking back down at the rest, but nobody in particular.

A very interesting bunch, I must say. I wonder if we'll be able to take down the thing together…

Dimemsion 29

Jinlongshan

The Fates Troops and the Grandmasters' armies were beginning to drive back the now leaderless Maju Army, which ran off in a complete shambles, almost as if they were untrained civilians. With one of the powers gone from the moon, the Fates and the Grandmasters soon diverted their attention to each other. As General Kuek Yung Meng and General Yuan Kai charged into the battlefield alongside their men, flying harpies with long, walrus like fangs flew overhead, screeching hideously and causing a few of the weaker soldiers to collapse instantaneously just from the horrible noise they were making.

"Tie your balaclavas around your ears if you cannot take the screaming!" boomed General Yuan almost majestically, despite the mundanity of the command. "It will cause your brain activity to be disrupted!"

Just shortly after the harpies had arrived on the battlefield, gigantic gatling guns were brought onto the battlefield by the artillery divisions of the Grandmasters, which opened fire as soon as they had set up the guns. A few of the harpies came crashing down towards the ground, their wings and bodies mutilated by the relentless machine fire, before being finished off by the land troops.

IDJF Nobunaga

A frigate convoy of Maju Fleet battleships had headed towards Jinlongshan, with the intention of bringing reinforcements to the little moon. They were, however, intercepted by the Nobunaga, which promptly ran out its ion cannons and aimed them at the battleships in the convoy, a few of which had already deployed fighters to engage the Japanese starship. Fleet Admiral Fukuzawa, however, was very much used to things like that.

"Let them come!"

Shaking the Heavens and the Earth!
Ludwig VS The Dark Magus
天地ゆるがす!
ルートヴィヒ VS 闇の魔法使い
Part III

This time round, Ludwig was the one who made the first move against the Dark Magus. As soon as the Dark Magus extended his arm and drew his now completely black sabre Pestilence, the spirit of the Hotel leapt into the air, transforming swiftly into his phoenix form and charging straight down towards the former Tenshi. Before the Magus could react, he was kicked in the abdomen by a fiery talon that sent him flying backwards and skidding through the grassy plains, causing the part of his cloak on his back to tear, revealing the bare, tattooed and scarred back of the Magus. As Ludwig charged forward once again, the Magus drew his black sword and carved the Phoenix in half, causing him to tumble onto the ground and transform back into his human form. The now-human Ludwig rolled through the grass before skidding and stopping at the side in a cross-legged stance, pointing both his open palms at the Magus.

"You won't stop me so easily, Spirit!" screamed the masked Magus, before whirling his sword around and running towards Ludwig, who spun around, standing up from his sitting position and blocking the black sword with one of his fiery fists, causing a shockwave to blast out from the point of impact. Both were able to maintain their footing, though the black sabre flew out of Father Christmas' hand and landed a few paces away. The fight, it seemed then, was going to evolve into fisticuffs. Ludwig attempted to adopt another stance, but was promptly hit in the face by a barrage of chain punches from Father Christmas. The latter's sharp, jagged fingernails, which jutted out from the torn fingers of his white gloves, cut Ludwig in the face, causing a trickle of blood to dribble from his left cheek.

The Dark Magus attempted to shred Ludwig with his razor-like fingernails, but the Spirit of the Hotel knew better; he leapt into the air, transforming his arms into fiery wings, before kicking the Dark Magus in the neck and causing him to fall backwards onto his now bare back. The Magus screamed, before being struck by fire. Much to Ludwig's dismay, however, the darkness within the former Tenshi could not be contained as easily as Klingsor's darkness; the black entrails snaked out of Father Christmas' burning body, fighting back against the holy fire of Ludwig, before finally reaching him, sending him flying backwards. The spirit was able to correct himself midair, however, and charged back down towards the Magus, seizing his shoulders with his talons and shredding the tunic. The black breastplate was able to hold, though, and was merely scratched.

With a grunt, Father Christmas reached upwards and seized the air with his claws, drawing black strings of evil energy from the small amounts of it that existed naturally in the world, concentrating it into a single black orb and preparing to throw it at Ludwig. Similarly, Ludwig pointed a palm at the former Tenshi and charged up a blue, fiery shot, before unleashing the fire, at exactly the same time as Father Christmas released his dark energy orb. Both projectiles crashed into each other and cancelled each other out in a violent flash of light combined with tendrils of darkness. Slowly, as the sun began to sink below the clouds, giving the whole grassy world a magnificent reddish hue, the two adversaries circled each other, neither one showing any signs of letting up. The sound of a stream below the hill on which they stood tinted the entire setting with a rather incongruous hue.

"Are you ready to die?"

"Not yet, Spirit!"

Father Christmas laughed maniacally, before staggering onto his feet and facing the Phoenix who hovered before him just a few metres down, his white mask covering any emotions or expressions he had. As Ludwig silently watched, the Magus raised his palms and pointed them at the sky.

"26 Black Arms!"

Iuzun raised his eyebrow and looked at Alzis. "News, you say", he said rhetorically. He knew that Alzis had something to hide, as he himself had many things he seldom told the rest of the multiverse, like the fact that he was solely responsible for the death of more than 700 million sentient beings as of then, a figure that Maju and Haikarakainen could only dream of. After all, it wasn't every day that a single person was able to rack up a nine-figure kill count.

"Whatever the case, we should work on establishing our respective corporations, while maintaining a strong alliance between each other, such that we may both benefit from a mutual Protocol."

Dimension 4,200

As the ships approached the Sycamore, the faint sound of a super-concentrated light beam rising and vaporising the air could be heard. The moment the ships came within firing range of the gigantic, otherworldly starship, the beam of light burst into a full out pillar, reaching into the sky and striking the sun, fuelling it and causing it to burn even brighter. That same moment, the Sycamore jolted, as a bolt of light whizzed through the air and landed on its surface, forming the figure of Kizaru.

"This thing sure is huuuuuge… and scary toooo…"

[Novia Soviet Socialist Republic]

The Overseer & Lord Baskervilles

Lord Baskervilles turned to the bystanders and sighed "I am here on important business, mortals" He then turned to look the Overseer in his eyes "This is a wanted man right here. Wanted under a section 12, attempted genocide of the human race, high treason, multiple accounts of murder and espionage" The Lord said in a serious manner before smirking "Quite the beacon of hope aren't you Overseer?" He laughed causing the Overseer to snarl and clench his fists "If I had my powers right now I'd gut you and your boy scouts-" His monologue was cut off by Lord Baskervilles laughing obnoxiously "You what?! You lost your powers?! This is just brilliant, just brilliant!" He kept laughing while slow clapping the shadow demon who was clearly getting extremely infuriated "That was a good laugh" Baskervilles snorted as he wiped a tear out of his hateful, demonic eye "Alright, arrest him. Looks like this was easier than expected" With that, a Black Hand soldier approached The Overseer and went into his back pocket to pull out some rather nasty looking shackles.

The Overseer saw his chance. He reached down to the Black Hand soldier's holster and pulled out his Inferno Pistol before grabbing the soldier by the neck and placing the gun to his forehead "Well shit" The soldier simply said in a dead pan way before a bright orange beam of pit fire blasted his head into smoldering chunks. Baskervilles stared at The Overseer before snarling "Don't just stand there you idiots, shoot him!" He yelled towards his troops, pointing at the Overseer who had ran off down into a corridor however this didn't stop some of the Black Hand soldiers taking shots at him before he escaped their line of sight, firing the same bright orange beams of pit fire as the Inferno Pistol causing small, fiery explosions complete with sparks where ever they hit such as walls and furniture. Such is life in the Multiverse.

Svaboda

Svaboda nodded slowly, moving slightly closer to the Golem "Well I was a scientist before so it would be stupid if I wasn't" His smirk was reduced to that of a more serious expression especially as she asked the Golem about the Library. Yet another person after more power, probably to satisfy their greed if anything else. That was usually the reason anyone would be after such knowledge.

Sarah

Sarah cringed and sighed "Oh jeez he's in comic book land now? I hope we don't have to deal with any DC characters while we're there" She said with a sickly look on her face. This reminded her of the time when Batman vs Superman came out and all the batman movies. And that was hundreds of years ago so what was she worried about anyway?

"Well we won't get in your way officer. Just take that bastard away from us." Elizabeth said as she lean back on her chair. Seeing how calm Elizabeth was with those demons around seems to have helped both Alice and Tessy on a small level but Tandem and the Moon Sisters still kept a close watch on them just encase. The others soon focus their attention back to the others on the table as their introduced each other.

Tandem, being the one sitting close to Dennis, moved a few inches away once he revealed he was a master thief. When Dennis revealed that he was a walking corpse he surprised Tessy, Alice and Tandem with the news. "No big shock there. I always knew you were a walking corpse since I met you." both Alzis and the Moon Sisters agreed with the occultist. Elizabeth turn her attention to Steiner. "I may call myself an occult investigator, and I am, but publicly I'm listed as a private investigator. Let's just say magic isn't something the masses knows existence let alone think is even real." Alice soon asked Lam Kim An what his title of grandmaster means and the style he has.

Tandem was shocked to hear that another Alveranian caused those wounds on the boy, he heard of a bounty hunter that fit the description but Tandem never payed too much heed. After all every Alveranian as to make a living now that their civilization is gone. Tandem heard about the story of Iuzun becoming an apprentice to Lam Kim An and what happened in the end and he felt anger towards Iuzun. "I'm sorry that your first encounter with my people had to end like that, not all Alveranian are like Iuzun. If you want I can assist you on putting this bastard down for good." Tandem with a tone of anger similar to when he was talking to Wasp about his people's destruction.

Soon chaos broke from the Black Hand as the Overseer escaped. "Seen that one bloody coming." Elizabeth sighed over the event. Alzis turn to X and said in a neutral but cold tone. "Haikarakainen is dead, killed by Iuzun's hand who now owns the IGSE. Haikarakainen was nothing more but a puppet to the Singular dragon who wanted to use the IGSE for whatever plans he has until he dropped the corporate for working with the Ahmarhan." She explained. Alice once more turn to Elizabeth to ask her what in the world is going on but Elizabeth gave her a shrug, she too is clueless on what is going on as well.

"The only reason I'm telling you all this is because both The Fates and the IGSE are making an alliance and are planning on leaving this pointless war. Maju may have return from the dead but his empire along with him will soon fade away into nothingness." Alzis then turned to Elizabeth. "Also Inferno has started to become active in the multiverse Ashwood. My forces have lost several worlds to them, infact it was the worlds that I claimed that were the first worlds that they attacked." Alzis hated on admitting that fact to the group.

Elizabeth was surprised to hear that the forces of Inferno were now showing interest outside of the Illusion and were now attacking other worlds. "Ragnarok." she softly murmured, saying the one word that came to mind on why Inferno would make a drastic move like this. "Yes. The Daeva's Ragnarok plan is the only reason why they would be going out into different worlds slaughtering the indigenous people." Elizabeth said the other words that Alzis would have said. "Their killing those people to take their souls down to Inferno. That way not only will they have plenty of souls to torture but they can turn them into legionaries for Ragnarok." Elizabeth turn to Alzis. "Let me guess, the Archons and the other powers have reacted to this move as well."

Alzis nodded. "I already have worlds being attacked by angels, servants of the Forgotten Gods and the Newborn Lords along with creatures from the abyss. Even entities that are not affiliated with any of the great supernatural powers of our world are out there joining in on the chaos. I can't guess why but I suspect either to gain power or for their own amusement."

Dimension 4,200

Logan panicked when Kizaru appeared out of nowhere, accidentally emitting the star breaker beam and hitting one of the ships at the command deck. The other ships began to open fire on the Sycamore but all of their attacks were not damaging the ship in anyway. "Wait your one of the tenshis aren't you?" Kizaru heard Logan's voice in his mind, the ship establishing a telepathic link so both men can speak to each other with their thoughts.

"You are against the IGSE right? So am I. We're both allies so why help these bastards where we can work as a team and destroy the IGSE once and for all!" Logan soon fired on the other ships, setting the power output to be higher than when he fired at the star most of the ships found that not only was their force fields drained of power quickly when blocking the beams fired from the strange ship but one shot was all it took to severely cripple a ship or even destroy it.

"I'm willing to forgive and forget that you have that star more power, you didn't know that we both have a common enemy. Yes I use to work for the IGSE, I was young and foolish. But I saw the errors of my way, I realized why people of my kind were rarely ever noticed by the IGSE." Logan turn the Sycamore away from planet and was moving at the left side. Before the tenshi of light can say or do anything the Sycamore's hyperdrive activated.

The hyperdive within the Sycamore is a FTL drive that uses the extra seven spatial dimensions to chance the laws of physics in a bubble around itself and "jump" from point A to point B instantly. In what can be best described in a second the Sycamore went around the world's natural rotation far faster than the actual planet itself. Once they return back to the planet they were in a different spot but the strange and ancient ship flew at normal speeds back to their original spot.

Once they reach the first spot there were at both Kizaru and Logan saw to their shock another Sycamore, this one firing the star breaker at the sun, soon they more ships come from the planet to attack the other Sycamore and than to surprise they saw another Kizaru appear and land on the other ship. Logan soon had a rush of alien knowledge from the ship itself telling him that Due the nature on how the hyperdrive works it not only acted as a FTL drive was an acausal time machine and also shielding technology. It allow the ship to emerge from hyperspace with any momentum the pilot wants.

Logan began to laugh wildly over the revelation that he was flying a time machine as well as a space ship. "See Tenshi! With your power mixed with the Sycamore we can destroy the IGSE!" Logan only wanted to test out the speed of the Scyamore to show the tenshi more proof on why they should work together but finding out that it can travel in speeds that it can create a closed timelike curvature and go backwards in time was a wonderful surprise to Logan, especially since one of the projects that he was in charged of and was force to cancel because of work for the Genesis Bomb was work on a machine that can be used as a time machine along as a teleportor.

Alzis

"How wonderful. If I could I would hire you for our cloning research but sadly we no longer have a need for clones right now." Alzis said, not going into details on why he needed clones. "No point in making a clone army when you are leaving a war." Alzis can sense that he and Svaboda were most likely fight over for whatever knowledge the Golem has but since he knows what happened the last time the Golem witness any form of violence he knew that manipulating the golem is his only way of winning her over to his side.

"So tell us, who was that man that our golem friend here attacked?" Alzis of course wanted that information so he can hire assassins to take out the Fanatic, not knowing about the fact that the Overseer was possessing him.

The Japanese Restaurant

"You see", said Master Lam, "there are six great powers in the Multiverse that are always competing with each other in what can best be described as a balance of power of a massive scale; we call these six powers the Rokuō. One of these powers is a council of Chinese martial arts masters known as the Ten Grandmasters; I'm one of those masters.

"As we can all see, though, the balance has been upset greatly by the death of Maju; the other five powers have risen and are now fighting for control of the Multiverse."

"As nice and romantic as it would be to bring Iuzun to justice", replied Steiner to Tandem, "I think we'll have to take in more practical considerations first; at the moment, he's the strongest bounty hunter in the Multiverse (by popular opinion among the underworld), and even other bounty hunters are unwilling to deal with him; such is the power of the greatest assassins and mercenaries in the Multiverse's underbelly. Thank you for your consideration, anyway."

The white haired boy continued to gaze into space while twirling his hair, before eating another handful of raspberries and turning to face Alzis.

"So it would seem that you have a vested interest in coming along, Alzis", said Steiner calmly, his mouth still full of raspberries. While, under normal circumstances, I'd try to avoid having to deal with you, it would seem that we are currently facing a common enemy, one that appears to have intentions of wiping out our civilisations. As such…"

It was at that moment that the curtains of the Restaurant were thrown open again, and a muscular, round-faced man with a long bamboo pole, a small black bag, and an oversized, conical straw hat stepped into the room. The people turned to face him as he slowly walked over to where Master Lam sat.

"Master Lam", he greeted.

"Master Wong", came the other master's acknowledgement.

Taking down the IGSE immediately is a terrible ideaaaa… For one, we'd upset the balance of power even more, and with the demons running loose, there'd be only four Rokuō left to help rein them iiiiiinnn… not a very bright prospect, considering how indifferent the Ahmarhan appear to be to our present situatioooooonnnn…

Shaking the Heavens and the Earth!
Ludwig VS The Dark Magus
天地ゆるがす!
ルートヴィヒ VS 闇の魔法使い
Part IV

The moment Father Christmas raised his hands to the sky, a blackness emanated from his body, before rising upwards in a furious pillar of darkness and spreading across the evening sky, bringing the night closer and closer till it finally came, with even the stars being blotted out by the darkness. As Ludwig clenched his fist and ignited it in a burst of white flames, the Dark Magus threw his head back and laughed maniacally, his torn tunic flapping in the wind that was beginning to whip up in the grassy dimension.

"The Multiverse will be renewed under the power of Maju's cleansing darkness!" declared the Magus. "The Ice Corps shall be rebuilt, and I will become the Right Hand of God!"

Ludwig scowled, before leaping into the air and kicking downwards, sending a ball of white fires towards the Magus, who crossed his arms and blocked the flames, causing the ball to dissipate and spread into the surroundings. Immediately afterwards, the phoenix form of Ludwig charged downwards, whizzing past the Magus' body and setting him on fire briefly, before the darkness that emanated from his body healed the wounds. The Phoenix whirled around and charged towards the Magus for another round, but was kicked in the side by the Magus, who had leapt into the air and thrust his powerful foot forward to strike his former superior.

The Phoenix landed on the ground and burst into flames, before another Phoenix emerged from the white fires that spread across the plains, once again charging at the Magus and spewing out relentless tongues of fire. The Magus laughed in horrifying delirium, pointing an open palm at the Phoenix and raising his head towards the sky.

"116 Black Arms!"

Instantaneously, a gigantic portal that led to a volcanic dimension opened up. Lava balls spewed from the rivers of molten metal that criss-crossed the bleak, hellish landscape, a wicked smell of sulfur spreading rapidly and drying up the grass on the side of the hilly, countryside dimension. From the lava dimension, gigantic black tentacles rose up from the magma, seizing the Phoenix and attempting to tear it apart. The holy fire of the Spirit was too much for the black tentacles to handle, however; in a blinding flash of light, the tentacles turned to stone and crumbled, while the human figure of Ludwig reappeared once more, his hand in his coat pocket, his long, mane-like hair blowing in the wind.

The Magus, once again, attempted to slash at Ludwig with his sword, but the latter stepped aside and thrust his palm onto the bare back of his adversary, before producing a shockwave that caused the Dark Magus to fly forward with a scream, into the lava dimension. Before the portal shut off, Ludwig leapt into the air with a terrifying display of agility, before shutting off the portal and landing on a black, ashen cliff that overlooked a large portion of the lava dimension. Slowly, he adjusted his eyes to the dark and light of the world, before casting his gaze onto the figure of the Magus, standing up on another cliff a number of metres away from his own.

"Welcome to Aonau!" screamed the Magus insanely, throwing his head backward and laughing once more. "Here, one of us will die, but the darkness will consume both of us regardless of the result!"

"I have a question, how can six group have control parts of the Multiverse? Isn't the Multiverse similar to normal universe that it stretches out to infinity? Wouldn't having any sort of empires, even those that don't interfere with their colonies, being a colossal drain on both manpower and resources?" Alice said, trying to fathom how even one can keep their own empires stable, let alone six.

"Well if I was making an empire I would take whatever resources each world I claim has and force the native population to work for me if I had an empire." Elizabeth said as she lean forward and placed her elbows on the table, resting her chin on the palms of her hand. "Of course there will still be the occasions of rebellions happening but since magic, psychic powers, miracles and other superpowers exist I take it that most of these oligarchs use their powers along with their soldiers and conscripts to keep their subjects in line." Elizabeth seem to stare intently at both Alzis and Master Lam when she mention about how the Rokuo or Oligarchs as she put it keep control over their portions of the multiverse.

"I'm curious about if your world also had other nations like Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States and what happened to them? Of course this is assuming they ever existed in your world." Elizabeth asked. When Tandem got the explanation that Iuzun right now is too risky to attack now due to his position. "Well at least let me fix those wounds, you have to feel uncomfortable having them on you." Tandem replied, he will forget about Iuzun for now but for some reason he felt as though the name was familiar and not because he is a bounty hunter.

"Their interest will soon leave your civilizations and return back to their own little pockets of the Multiverse, Ragnarok isn't made to deal with the multiverse entirely or at least that is what I know. All they are doing is gather strength for the true battle for Ragnarok." Alzis coldly said, soon she and the others saw the new master to arrive. "As long as you keep the light as you masters and tenshis that I will stay, if I see even a hint of those damn knights I will leave this meeting." Alzis spat out with much venomous rage.

Dimension 4,200

"Wait four? Who's dead?" Logan was surprised to hear that yet another Rokuo died, did the Ahmarhan killed yet another one or did one of the kings slay another? Before the two can say anymore they both saw the star breaker beam fire at the soon, following the source they found yet another Sycamore and Kizaru have appeared just as the past on vanished. "It doesn't matter who else died, this whole mess wouldn't be around if the Rokuo system never existed! It's your masters and the others fault for causing this war and for attracting the demons. I lost both my facility, research assistants and several important documents and files because of them. The breakthroughs my people were doing would have changed everything!" Logan shouted, soon third Sycamore appeared.

"People like me. Men and women of science, thaumaturgy, knowledge. We all could change the world to become a better place but we are often stuck with that most damnable concept cursed to sapient life, money. Because of the cost we either can't perform our great works or are forced to work with men like my former boss who will only be interested so long as he gets his little toys. Do you have any idea of how many of my inventions I can never make because Haikara was obsessed with his fucking bomb? To make matters worse anytime I was able to get something that I wanted out Haikara either forces me to destroy it or changes it into something I didn't want and then claims all the credit for it, including my original designs!"

Two more appeared and this time all five pointed at the planet. "Haikara only used me for my genius and when I gave him what I want he just cast me out to the side, all because I was both a man of science and magic. He and the rest of the fools of the IGSE ridiculed me for practicing magic. Have you ever wonder why the IGSE never employs magic beyond counter magic technology? It's because they are afraid! They are afraid of what they can't understand and control. So instead of doing the intelligent thing and let me study it freely they instead choose to hide away from it."

Soon the Sycamores fired at the planet, their beams cutting through the crust and going deep into the planet. As the beams hit the core it caused the planet to experience both powerful volcano eruptions and earthquakes which caused a chain reaction of making more natural disasters that will claim even more lives. "But now I'm the one in power. I'm above Haikara and the IGSE, I'm above both kings and demons." the star breakers within the Sycamore copies were charging, each one pointed at a different Kizaru copy. "My anger isn’t directed at you spirit. The IGSE most pay for what they done to me and others before me. I will not let anyone stand between me and justice!”
