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

[Contamenesia]

Fauna

Upon entering the other side of the portal, Fauna felt it...the Wrongness. A Wrongness that should not exist. Fauna saw a young woman, somewhere between 18 and 22, by her appearance, hiding behind the Moon Sisters. Fauna took a step back in fear, and even tripped and fell on her bum. "S-She's W-Wrong...She's Wrong! Stay away from me!" she cried, fear in her voice, the woman just simply felt...Wrong. As if the Entirety of Existence hated her very being but could not get rid of her...she was so wrong...and Fauna was afraid....

Serena

Serena watched as several people came out of a portal, one of which was a young girl, who upon spotting her, fell back in fear, calling her Wrong. Serena bit her lip and tears began to swell up in her eyes, so she hid behind Selene. She peeked out only once, trying to descern which was the string, but she honestly couldnt tell, so she returned to hiding behind Selene.

Wasp

Wasp opened a portal back to the City and stepped through. Bear was waiting for them on the otherside. "Good you three are here...come with me, it will be easier if i just show you..." she beckoned them to follow and began leading them to Edge, a region of the City dedicated to watching and observing the entirety of Existence itself. She pointed to a cluster of universes, and the image zoomed in. "Not many beings know of our existence, even among gods, the mere mention of our organization's name usually means nothing to them. This cluster here has learned of our existence, and has challenged us. they aren't much of a threat, but this behavior will not be tolerated. your orders are to go into each of these 17 universes and kill and destroy everything containing sentient life or godly presence, without exception. No one is to live. it is preferred that none of you use time erasal. this event is to be remembered. i know this isnt pretty, but it must be done. Neither mortals nor gods have the right to challenge us with such disrespect. We have done them no harm, but they seek to prove themselves the strongest. these 17 universes are all well aware of each other and have banded together. Crush them, and show them why one does not trifle with the Ahmarhan, especially for a reason so petty. They know our purpose, but do not care. they beleive Jonjittu to be a force they can deal with themselves. If anyone surrenders, dont accept it. this is punishment for their foolishness. Slaughter them all, but do not destroy the universes. keep them intact so that they will serve as a reminder that the Ahmarhan does not take challenges lightly. leave neither mortal nor god alive. you three are dismissed...hide your hearts, let not your emotions interfere, you know very well.. " she paused, with a slight hint of nervousness, "The punishment for failure...."

Jason

"So then she really isnt trust worthy. I'm not doing any more favors. if they have a problem with that, then they can talk to my sword...." he said, shaking his head. he was tired of all this if you do this we'll do that nonsense. He had done his share, so it was about time he got what came here for..Every moment that passed was another that he worried for his wife and daughter....

Elizabeth

"Strange why do I feel as though danger is coming..." Elizabeth soon got her answer when she saw a pool of lava come through the portal, startling both her and everyone else in her group except for Fauna and Celestia. Before the mage can yell out on where the lava came from she saw it take on the form of the colonel that the lich knock out. "Okay lava elves, this is new for me." The moment he slammed his glowing hands on the wall Elizabeth's sixth sense warned her that he could put both her and everyone else in great danger.

Just as she reach down to the vortex generator in her coat pocket Kyne was ready to reach for her knives, both knew that he was most likely going to go after the lich that knocked him out but they knew that if a fight broke out now there is a good chance they would be caught in the cross fire. Elizabeth felt a shield placed around her and she turned to see the Moon Sisters as they were the ones to cast the shield. Before she can thank them she heard the door open and turned to see yet another strange sight.

"Lava elves and ripped Santa, this is starting to be the wonderland version of the North Pole." said the amuse mage, grateful that Santa manage to get the colonel to not fight the skeleton. After Santa apologized for the hold up and told them about what the meeting was about he told them were to meet him. Just as Elizabeth was about to follow him to the lounge she heard Fauna screaming, the mage looked at the Moon Sisters and for a moment she saw another woman hiding behind them before she went back into hiding. "Why hello there, let's see what you did to get our little bard all spooked." As Elizabeth walked around the Moon Sisters Tessy went over to where Fauna was.

Tessy went down next to the bard and gently placed her hand on the young girl's back and moved her head to look at Tessy's face. "It's alright, nothing is going to hurt you now." she said with a gentle tone, trying her best to calm Fauna down. Tessy doesn't know what cause the young bard to react the way she did but she couldn't let her stay in her current state. "Elizabeth do you know what caused her to be afraid of that other woman?" she called out to the mage, suspecting that magic was somehow involved.

Moon Sisters

The sisters grimace when Fauna reacted to Serena, they knew that sooner or later somehow was going to have a negative reaction to her curse. "The only thing wrong with Serena is the curse that she is afflicted with, otherwise she is about as normal as the woman trying to help you." Selene stated as she felt Serena hiding behind her like a scared child hiding behind their parents.

When they heard Tessy call out to Elizabeth they heard the mage responding back that she was going to figure out what was wrong with the woman. "We told you she has a curse placed on her." all three said, the mage responded with a grin. "Yeah you said it twice now, but in my experience curses never cause magically touched people to freak out like that." the mage moved around them to see Serena, however a strong gust of wind blew Elizabeth away from seeing Serena.

"Sorry Ashwood but you can not look at Serena's aura." the crone said, she knew that if Elizabeth was to look at Serena's aura it might trigger a flash back to the night where she not only saw something from the abyss but lost her first lover at the same time. The English woman landed roughly on the wall and as she fall down they can see that the woman called Tessy was about to rush over to her side to see if she was okay but stopped when the mage told her to stay with Fauna as she started to get up on her own, leaning on the wall for support.

Once the mage was up she told them that if they didn't want her to see Serena they could have just asked. "We are aware that you are the type who has trouble listening to authority Ashwood." Selene stated, they surprised when the mage let out a laugh follow by her explaining that while they were correct about her having problems with authority she at least has friends in many places. At first they were confused but when they saw her shadow bending in odd ways their eyes widen, they turned to Serena and saw black shadowy arms reach out and grab the young woman, pulling her down to the ground and into the realm of shadows.

"NO SERENA!" She reached out to grab her hand but we pushed back by several shadowy arms, by the time she broke free from their grip Serena was gone. Hecate turned to the mage and a small soul storm was forming around her. "I hope your ready to face the consequence of your action Elizabeth, cause I will make sure that your soul will join this tempest." before the crone can send out the storm towards the mage Serena was pushed out from the shadows and was now standing in front of the mage.

Elizabeth at first thought that Serena looked cute and was about to flirt with her before she felt how wrong she was, instead of giving the young woman her charmy yet mischievous grin she gave her a look of utter horror. What's more her black aura appear as though it was sucking everything around it, it reminded her too much on a portal leading directly to the void. Elizabeth pressed her self against the wall and with her trembling arms pulled out the knife. "Jesus Christ now I know what the bard means by this woman being wrong, she has the same sodding aura as something from the abyss!" Elizabeth than started to move to her side, still keeping close to the wall as to distance herself from Serena.

Once she was far away from Serena or to be more accurately hit a dead end she made a mad dash towards the door leading to the lounge, hitting a desk along with way and cursing loudly. The moon sisters walked up to Serena and placed their hands on her shoulder. "I'm sorry that those two reacted to you like this. I'm sure they may grow to like you once they look pass your curse." they lied, they knew that her curse would be a huge problem for both of them.

The sisters saw Tessy help Fauna get back up and after speaking to her for a while went to the lounge, most likely to help calm down Elizabeth. Kyne glared at the woman that was with the Moon Sisters, she couldn't sense anything malevolent about the woman but she couldn't shake that something was wrong with her, the fact that she made both voodoo girls terrified only made her more suspicious to Kyne. "If this woman has a Voodoo curse on her why is that those two are acting like they have seen the devil himself?"

Crow

Once Crow stepped through the portal and entered the city he felt anxious, it's been a while since he has had an actual mission and the fact that this one requires three members was only increasing his anxiety. Once he found Bear he have her a simple hello before she lead them towards the Edge. Crow will have to admit that the Edge was always one of his favorite regions of the city, it has the same appeal as star gazing only he is looking at other universes.

When she explained that seventeen universes somehow found out about the Ahmarhan's existence Crow was surprised, how was it possible for them to know of the organization? Crow than felt his heart stopped once he heard what were his orders. His body felt almost cold and clammy as he moved his fingers, his breath was shallow and his mind was racing with many thoughts, but all had a similar line. "Why is this suppose to be my first mission after being out from the field for so long?" Crow was grateful once again to his armor as it hide both his physical and mental reactions to his latest mission.

This was not the first time his mission involved genocides but in all of the past ones it was often on a world, never an entire universe let alone seventeen. He wanted to voice out about the mission but when Bear mentioned about the price of failure he became silent, he knows all to well about the price of failure. "How is it that the universes became aware of both us and Jonjittu?" he said coldly, giving no hint of emotion in his voice.

[Contamenesia]

Fauna

Fauna slowly returned to reality, Tessy's words had helped, but she was far from okay, but she managed to get a grip upon herself. She could tell the girl was scared herself, and so immediately Fauna felt bad. "I-Im sorry...i am unused to such a presence...please dont think i hate you..." She followed Elizabeth and the others into the lounge. She noticed as she looked back that Celestia, while she did frown, was not as bothered by Serena, and even helped escort her. in fact, her eyes had that same gleam in them as they did whenever the string looked at her.....

Serena

Being pulled into shadows was a little scary, but compared to everything she had experienced, it was nothing. The Shadows also definitely hated her presence to, as while in the brief moment she was there, her curse made her body shine like a billion suns, which went away as soon as she popped up before the pale girl, who proceeded to freak out like the other girl. Serena looked away, unable to meet anyone's eyes. though she felt a bit comforted when one of the girls apologized to her. "I'm...used to it. My curse likes to make me suffer any way it can, not just physically..."

the next woman actually seemed excited by her being, though she said nothing, which made Serena feel a little unsettled. As she followed the others into the lounge. as for Father Christmas, beleive it or not, this was not her first meeting with him, though the last time they did, it was very brief, and she was male at the time, about a few hundred thousand years ago...she doubted he'd remember the encounter or think that the man he had met and her were the same person.

Ursa Major

When Crow asked his question, Ursa stepped forward. "Actually, It was an Alveranian who told them. the 17 universes were already oaware of each other prior to being told, this is simply what united them. though they still bicker. Do you want to know the twisted part? The Alveranian didnt even do it for revenge or rebellion, as you would think one of there kind would, no. The Alveranian did purposely so that we would be forced to deal with them. the Alveranian did this purely to watch these 17 universes burn. I have already had a discussion with the King. She is not happy about this either, but this is something that must be done. We already have a member tracking the Alveranian down to be apprehended. Neither the King nor the Organization as a whole wants another event like this to occur. The Alveranian will be punished for setting this into motion..." she put an arm on Crow's shoulder, "The faster you get this done, the sooner this is all over with. You three were chosen for this task for a reason. You three can do it. We would rather not send Firefly...."

[Charmera]

Wasp

Wasp opened a portal back to the City and stepped through. Bear was waiting for them on the otherside. "Good you three are here...come with me, it will be easier if i just show you..." she beckoned them to follow and began leading them to Edge, a region of the City dedicated to watching and observing the entirety of Existence itself. She pointed to a cluster of universes, and the image zoomed in. "Not many beings know of our existence, even among gods, the mere mention of our organization's name usually means nothing to them. This cluster here has learned of our existence, and has challenged us. they aren't much of a threat, but this behavior will not be tolerated. your orders are to go into each of these 17 universes and kill and destroy everything containing sentient life or godly presence, without exception. No one is to live. it is preferred that none of you use time erasal. this event is to be remembered. i know this isnt pretty, but it must be done. Neither mortals nor gods have the right to challenge us with such disrespect. We have done them no harm, but they seek to prove themselves the strongest. these 17 universes are all well aware of each other and have banded together.

" she paused, with a slight hint of nervousness, "The punishment for failure...."

Xyri's eyes all of a sudden widened in shock. When their task was relayed to them. Her helmet was on, and so her reaction was not visable. But the slime women bowed her head slightly. She had done many things like this, but always with a heavy heart. She didn't like doing this, she never liked doing this. "Are.... Are you sure we are the only ones...?" She asked, nervously. She would never disobey an order, but she didn't want to slaughter 17 universes without trying to get out of it first. In truth, those 17 universes were already dead the second they challenged the Armarhan, it was merely a question of the execution method.

[Naval Monte]

Elizabeth

"Elizabeth please tell me what is wrong? How am I suppose to help you if you won't tell me what's wrong?" Elizabeth heard Tessy said, she felt both Tessy's arms wrapped around her and her warmth, in most days Elizabeth would enjoy this but right now her mind was still on the dark aura that was around Serena and her memories of seeing a similar darkness and what she lost when she saw and went against it.

Tessy manage to convince Elizabeth to drop the knife, it was now lying next to her on the sofa. The mage was still trembling but it was less obvious as it was before, her breathing was back to normal as was her heart beat. Elizabeth took a deep breath and soon manage to get a grip on herself, the flashbacks from that night soon faded back to the dark corners of her mind. "It's kinda hard to explain Tess.... my problem with the woman is something that me and a few others can see and you can't.." Elizabeth finally responded, Tessy told Elizabeth to at least try explaining to her as she sees the world. Just as Elizabeth was about to speak she along with everyone else in the room saw a projection appear in front of them.

It showed Elizabeth with both Adwith and surprising Tak when he was alive, all three in front of the Inuu house. The projection simmered for a bit and soon sound can be heard coming from it. "Finally found out how to create sound with these projections." said Artemis, soon everyone heard what the three were talking about, it didn't take long for Elizabeth in the projection to explain her extra sensory inputs. Once Adwith in the projection started to speak it ended. "So that's how you keep a tab on mages that catch your fancy. Maybe when my life isn't has chaotic as it is now you three can teach me that trick?" She got contradicting responses as Artemis was willing to teach her while Hecate was not. "I think we can decided on that one later after both this meeting and our current problems have been settled."

Tessy was trying to wrap her head around what the Elizabeth in the strange projection said but she can at least understand that Elizabeth was very close to magic to the point that it acts as addition senses to her. "So when Fauna said that woman was wrong she meant that magically she was wrong right?" still felt a bit strange for her to mention magic in this discussion but since it seems to be tied to both Fauna and Elizabeth's problem with Serena it has to be talked about. "I guess I should accept that if I want Elizabeth to be a part of my life than magic would also have to be in it as well since those two seem to be two halves of the same coin." Tessy thought as Elizabeth wrapped her arm around her waist, pulling her closer.

"It's rather hard to say but as those two mention, whatever curse she is afflicted with makes her feel wrong around of magical types. She is like a paradox that should not be yet is... she is like something that came from the void." Elizabeth finished with a somber tone. Kyne spoke up. "Can't you just use voodoo to break the curse?" Elizabeth let out a chuckle. "Not so easy breaking a curse that I have no idea about." she explained, moving over so she can face Tessy.

"Listen you think we can talk about this after the meeting? I rather not talk with this many people around us." Tessy agreed to the deal and gave her a small smile. The two of them turned back to Father Christmas. "So Santa what sort of plans that you wish to share with use? If it involves us joining you in your workshop to make toys for kids than forget about them cause I suck with making toys." she said in a joking tone, giving the old tenshi a grin as both her and Tessy let go of each other.

Crow

"Your right, the faster we do this the better." once more he kept her emotions away from his voice, mainly cause now he was numb now. This numbness was both in despair for the many lives he would have to destroy and in rage from the Alveranian who caused this and their reason. "If we find this Alveranian I would like to be the one to end their pathetic life!" Crow demanded, letting his rage be heard.

He walked away from the group and using the powers of his sword torn open a portal to the void. "What should we do if beings from those universe start to flee into other universe that are not our main targets?" Crow asked, he was hoping that should survivors attempt to flee into other universe they would not have to kill them as well. Why let the lives of many innocents suffer due to the cowardice of a bunch of arrogant fools being lead by the words of a fiend.

This one Ms. Elizabeth Ashwood certainly had a sense of humour. Or perhaps it was unintended; after all, most visitors didn't know that the Toy Making Department was separated from the Defence Department.

"Heavens, no", said Father Christmas to Elizabeth, in response to her question. "I won't be asking you to be making toys. Rather, I am asking you to, perhaps, consider forming a temporary alliance with one Felix Faustus. He's on a mission to take down the Bloodthirsty Sorcerer General Maju, who happens to be tied to my role as a guardian of the Hotel."

"Perhaps some explaining would be needed here?" asked Rotehund weakly, before hunching over and throwing up into a dustbin which he had seized in the nick of time. Upon releasing everything his stomach had to offer, he glared at Dennis angrily, with a look that suggested something along the lines of a middle finger.

Father Christmas smiled modestly. "Indeed; I suppose I can explain it to you if you want…"

It was at that moment that an eerie, crackling noise wafted through the lounge, before a portal opened up, from which stepped Felix, Hiccup, Toothless, and a Major wearing a No. 4 uniform.

"Yep, this is his room all right", said Felix to Hiccup. The Major saluted the old Tenshi sitting in the swivelling chair, before turning sharply and marching out of the room, completely ignoring all the others.

"I see you've recovered fully", said Father Christmas, giving the old Viking Chief a playful slap on the back. Hiccup smiled back a little awkwardly, before stammering out a response.

"Umm… what exactly is going on here?"

Father Christmas glanced over at the rest of the people who had gathered in the room. "Well", he said, "I was just about to explain the terms of the Alliance to Ms Elizabeth Ashwood here; perhaps you'd do a better job at it. Which reminds me…" He paused, glancing at his watch. A darker, more solemn expression came across his face. "I need to oversee the erection of a monument to the dead."

With that, he got up and draped a white fur cape over his broad, muscular shoulders. "I shall be back in about an hour", he said, hiding the Eternal Sceptre inside the fur coat and hanging his two sabres on his belt.

"If that last name was Faust than I would have immediately told you to find someone else cause I knew a bolk with a name similar to your Felix. He was a nasty bastard with a penchant for not only stealing people's soul but also devouring them just to gain their skills and memories. Sure the souls would come out of his body but they loss all sense of identity of who they were." she blow out more smoke out of her mouth as she spoke, her cigarette now half finished. "Maju, sounds almost archaic, I doubt he has any connection to Djinns right?" so far this topic isn't something she would necessarily disagree with, after all this is not the first time she made an alliance to take out a dangerous mage before.

She along with Tessy and Kyne turn to look at the colonel when he spoke they had different reactions when he hunched over the trash bin and began to vomit. Tessy got up and went to the colonel to try and help the man while Elizabeth and Kyne turned back to face Father Christmas, mainly so they would not have to see him throw up again. Just as the old man was going to speak Elizabeth felt the hairs on the back of her neck standing up on ends, in fact the rest of the hair on her body was standing up too, minus the shaggy mess on her head. The next thing she heard was the eeire crackling noise that was all to familiar to her.

Elizabeth looked at the four newly arrived guests. "Okay this group is close enough to rival my strange little band of misfits" The old viking with the primitive prosthetic is hilariously the only one that looks normal when compared to an angel that was not the ones that Elizabeth deals with in her world and another actual to honest god dragon. "At least this one isn't a shapeshifiting daemon wannabe like the last one." her eyes follow the major as he leaves the room before returning back to seeing both the new guests and Father Christmas.

From the way Santa was acting towards the old viking he seems to be has friendly as the stories suggest though with both the muscles and the presence of an elf army does tell her that his kindness probably has their limits. "Not to self, don't piss off Santa Claus." as she heard the old guardian spirit tell the viking that he should explain more about this alliance and that he has to be out to erect a monument for the dead it made Elizabeth wonder what could have happen to cause him to do such an action.

Once the spirit was gone Elizabeth looked at the three beings in the room, Kyne however had her eyes set on the dragon, watching it's moves encase it suddenly does anything violent, if Tessy who was with Rotehund looked at Toothless with worry. "So since Santa is gone for now I guess now would be for introduction. As old nick told you my name is Elizabeth Ashwood and please don't use Ms at the beginning and don't even call me by my full name either." Kyne bluntly have them her first name while still watching Toothless while Tessy also told them both her first and last name. "So which one of you three is Felix and what reasons you all have for forming an alliance against this Maju?"

Elizabeth asked as her sight gradually turn towards the dragon, she too was a little anxious on being around another dragon after meeting the dragon of chaos but there was another reason why she was staring at the dragon. "Why am I getting a case of deja vu from that dragon? There is no way I could have meet a black dragon like that thing before... right?" Somehow within the mage's mind she felt as though she may have seen at least the dragon's face before somewhere in her world, but right now can't quite recall when she saw it.

[Contamenesia]

Fauna

"I think there's been a mistake. I am not joining any silly alliance. I am only here to sing and bring happiness. I will even sing to this one you call Maju. who they are is unimportant. A Bard isn't a warrior. A Bard never chooses sides. A Bard may go where ever he or she wishes, and sing to all that exist. I am a Bard. So i will not join any alliance or such silliness." She smiled. She was still barefoot, with flowers in her hair, and still smelled like fresh mixture of roses and daffodils, and still the picture of innocence, though she herself seemed oblivious to these things.

Serena

Serena watched as the Bard lady spoke, then another lady, who seemed to glow a faint irradecent blue, spoke up. "Celestia doesn't join alliances. Celestia only joins with Apox." She then paused, "Oh! its you! Celestia wasn't expecting to encounter Felix again...." she smiled faintly, but then it faded into a complete emotionless expression, which seemed to be her default expression.

Serena's heart skipped a beat when Celestia mentioned Apox, from what she heard, this must mean that she was the String! Serena spoke up, "You're the string! Is it true? Y-You can erase me from existence by becoming this Apox thing?" she asked with forbidden hope. Celestia turned to her. "Celestia is String. But you are not Apox. Celestia only bonds with Apox. But Celestia can erase you from existence, yes. Is this really what you desire?" Serena almost completely broke down, "Yes! please! If you can END me, do it!! i can't bare to exist any longer!!!" she said with a sob.

Celestia nodded, "Okay, Celestia will remove you now." Before anyone could say anything, Celestia's hand began to glow a bright irradecent red. And then she touched Serena upon the forehead, and with great pain thus Serena ceased to exist.....


but she awoke the next day....


Celestia frowned. "She is erased, yet she will be back. by morning....strange. She is suppose to be gone forever, with nobody but Celestia remembering who she was or that she even existed, but this isn't the case. Something makes her linger.....she will return always, the next day. She will reappear when this morning comes." she said bluntly, with no emotion. She knew this because she could see it all within the Threads.....

Ursa

Ursa frowned. "Crow, you know better than to ask such a question. You know none of them will be capable of fleeing in time. Even the Alveranian's escape was only because we let them. But, i will leviate your fears. you may spare up to one percent of all who live in the 17 dimensions. but no more. And no, this is not one percent per person, that is all total. You also may not spare any godly beings, no matter what shape or form they come. but you may allow a few mortals to escape, but no more than one percent. In fact, it is safer if it is even less than that....As for the Alveranian, i am afraid Beetle will beat you to it, he was the one sent to hunt the Alveranian down." she said gently. Then her expression hardened, "Now get to work, and show no mercy....Dismissed."

Wasp

Wasp nodded, opening a portal, and entered the first of the 17 dimensions. He was immediately greeted by a missile to the face, which exploded and took out half of the galaxy around him. In the distance, he could hear the radio chatter. "HAH, DIRECT HIT! THAT'LL SHOW THEM! NO WAY HE SURVIVED THAT!" "YEAH, AND HOW STUPID COULD THEY BE? THEY ONLY SENT THREE? THAT'LL TEACH THEM FOR SURE!!" But then the smoke cleared, revealing Wasp. he was completely fine. the missile had done absolutely nothing to him, Crow, or Termite. "Now that i've seen how idiotic you are. I don't feel so bad..." He could hear their frantic reactions over their communications, as his helmet detected them, as he was sure Crow and Termite did as well. he only smirked when he saw them launch another missile. he destroyed with a single strike.

Jason

As they were walking, a figure ran past and shoved Aruvia, Violet, and Jade aside before anyone could retaliate, the mysterious stranger opened a portal and disappeared. "Who the hell was that?" Jason asked. "Check your pockets, make sure nothing is stolen..." he said, though he did not believe anything was. still who was that stranger...he managed a glimpse of pointed ears, but that was all, he did even have enough time to tell if it was a man or a woman.

[Naval Monte]

Crow

"You know if you allowed the missle to hit us again I would have changed the damage to hit them instead?" The abyss walker channeled the powers of the void and with a single swing and a crescent of abyss energy flew from the blade and towards the troops.

O cue it was close to them the energy wave tore a hole in the fabric of space time, creating a black hole that began to pull those close to it due to it"s mass and gravitanial pull. Crow released more abyssal waves that turn into black holes, from within some can feel that things were lurking within the black holes, wanting to escape from the black hole and enter the doomed universe.

"I'm going off to deal with another galaxy. Maybe I can have use their missles against them." With those words Crow torn open a portal into the abyss and entered another galaxy, it too was half way destroyed by another missle, only this time it was Crow who caused the destruction.

---

Elizabeth

"We get it, as a bard you are suppose to play Switzerland on all matters, except for when the dragon of chaos gets in involved." She called out as she realize the aroma coming from the bard. "But think about this, this Maju was outright called bloodthirsty and chances are he has left a tone of heart broken survivors, surely as a bard you can not turn away from brining those survivors joy even for a little while?"

As far as Elizabeth knows there may not by any survivors that Maju either spared or ignored,but right now neither does Fauna so she can use the possibility of survivors to keep her in the group. Elizabeth than sighed when Celestial joined the nope bandwagon. If this keeps up than pretty much the whole team would be against this alliance." she rubbed her face with the palms of her hands as she let out a groan.

Elizabeth took her face out of her hands when she heard that Celestia and Felix met before. I could press the string for info on this celestial bolk but knowing her anything she knows about him would be about his skills, which while important I also need more than that." Elizabeth stayed in her train of thought before she was pulled away from it when Serena made her request to be erased.

"Bloody Nora, this barmy bitch is serious, she really wants to be obliterated!" the occultist watch the scene with shock as Serena begs for the string to erase, sure enough once she was sure that is what the other woman wants she perform the same technique she tried to do on Kalameet only know Fauna didn't stop her.

"Right for anyone else that isn't your lover string we don't try to erase them, we simply sent them a brutal rejection letter instead." She said trying to lighten the mood somewhat as Celestia proceeds to erase the cursed woman. Elizabeth lean back on the sofa with her eyes close. Once she opens them she finds Serena in the room again.

Before she can shout on how she was there Celestia spoke, explaining that something within the curse would always bring her back. "Bloody hell woman what the fuck did you do to piss off the thing that cursed you! What did you shagged the sibling of some vendictive deity or something?" Elizabeth recivied a light hit on the back of her head from Tessy for her comment.

---

Moon Sister

The moon sisters ignored Elizabeth's rude remark towards Serena, instead they focused on the terrible news that not only was she not Apox but that the string itself couldn't use it's own powers to erase her. Selene walked over and hugged the immortal from behind, knowing that she was most likely going to have a break down.

Artemis was sadden over the current development with Hecate remaining quiet. All three now knew that for Setena to be finally put out of her misery they would have to do the ritual and fir e the string to merge with her.

"So do the rest of you have reasons for not wanting to join this alliance?" The crone asked. Elizabeth, Tessy and Kyne were quiet for a while. But soon all three spoke at the same time. "We do have a reason and it is our terms." The three of them looked at each other surprised that they three had the same idea.

"So what is this term of yours?" Tessy was the first one to speak." You see my adoptive niece, her name is Cryssa, she was taken from me by this strange man wearing a strange armor and..." She struggled to say the next words, sensing this Kyne took over. "This..."man", not only kidnapped Cryssa but also killed her brother right in front of her along with the rest of us." Elizabeth than joined in.

"Right now we are trying to find out where this wanker took Cryssa and once we find out where she is we will bring her back home." So far they haven't quite mention that the strange man in their story was an Ahmarhan, Elizabeth felt that if she mention that they were involved they would be force to talk about them and be rejected or they would know about them and again be rejected.

The moon sisters knew that the three women were leaving out something important, but they sense that with two of them it was more out of the fact that they didn't know much about this strange man, yet with the Mage though...

"We are sorry for both your loss and for what you're going through. For now we can see it as a good enough term to follow but Felix right now is in charge of this alliance so he would have to decide if it's agreeable."

Tandem

A few days has passed since Tandem has first entered this world and met Alice. So far the two of them have become good room mates, Tandem was begining to suspect that the reason Alice hasn't asked him about finding his own apartment was because she liked having his company.

Alice was already done with making an episode on the wendigo, venturing back into the forest at night was not a pleasent experience but he been through worse, at least they haven't ran into an actual wendigo despite the few false alarms during the night.

Tandem so far gave Alice a decent lie that he was wandering around the country after he and his family had a huge argument and he hasn't seen them ever since. Well there is some truth to that lie, I just wish it only extended to my parents." Currently both he and Alice were watching some random movie that Alice just bought it.

"Sorry to say this Alice but this movie is awful." Tandem finally muttered, bored ever since the movie started, he wasn't the only one. "Yeah the case art made it look good but I rather be stuck watching The Room than this shite." She replied back grabbing a handful of pop corn, she moved the bag to Tandem so he can grab some for himself.

"I can make a better movie than this garbage." He stated has grabbed his share of the pop corn and ate it. "If I had the money, crew, equipment and actors this is what sort of movie I would make." Alice than went on to explain the movie she would make, it was horror myster thriller.

Tandem soon join in and explained on him backing a spin e fantasy western movie, the two of them were so busy sharing movie ideas that they didn't realize that the movie they were watching was already done.

Back in Juila's apartment the sick woman was hunching over in front of her open fridge. Post cards and letters sent by friends and family mucked about underneath the fridge, Julia not only lost any care for her concern parents but has grown to despise her friends, her team.

She thought of them as nothing more but greedy bastards who only formed their team mainly due to self interest, whether it be a hunger for information, fame, wealth, searching for a lost friend, to act as a big damn Herod or in Julia's case to find the next big story.

She ate raw eggs from the fridge, one by one. The cold hard shells burst in her mouth, a quaq of slime. She crushed the grit and imagined that each one was the skulls of one of her friends.

[Charmera]

Crow

"You know if you allowed the missle to hit us again I would have changed the damage to hit them instead?" The abyss walker channeled the powers of the void and with a single swing and a crescent of abyss energy flew from the blade and towards the troops.

O cue it was close to them the energy wave tore a hole in the fabric of space time, creating a black hole that began to pull those close to it due to it"s mass and gravitanial pull. Crow released more abyssal waves that turn into black holes, from within some can feel that things were lurking within the black holes, wanting to escape from the black hole and enter the doomed universe.

"I'm going off to deal with another galaxy. Maybe I can have use their missles against them." With those words Crow torn open a portal into the abyss and entered another galaxy, it too was half way destroyed by another missle, only this time it was Crow who caused the destruction.

Xyri sighed as she two other two bothered with the missles. Even without her armour such a strike would be hard pressed to kill her gelatenous form, though it would be disrupted. With her armour it might as well have been a light breeze. Though really that went without saying for the rest of the Ahmarhan regardless. "I;m going to go get some fuel. A lush planet should do." She remarked, disapearing herself and coming across a planet full of fauna and flora to devour. It was simple enough to begin eating, spreading from one thing to the next, getting eponentially faster and bigger. Soon the planet she had devoured of life was much smaller than her. "Must have had some really nice biomass there:" She remarked, casually flicking the little world away. She was greeted with a freet, which she regarded with sorrow. "Sorry about this." She remarked, before turning one of her hands into a giant flyswatter and then destroying the entire fleet with a restrained slap.

Jason

As they were walking, a figure ran past and shoved Aruvia, Violet, and Jade aside before anyone could retaliate, the mysterious stranger opened a portal and disappeared. "Who the hell was that?" Jason asked. "Check your pockets, make sure nothing is stolen..." he said, though he did not believe anything was. still who was that stranger...he managed a glimpse of pointed ears, but that was all, he did even have enough time to tell if it was a man or a woman.

Violet checked her pockets, while the rest of the group didn't have anything worth stealing. The party wondered who that strange person might actually be before collectively mentally shrugging before returning attention to Jason and the matter at hand.

"Look. Either we ask my sister or we'll have to try someone else. And we'll run out of universes if your only going to want to be teleported by someone perfect." she remarked. "That is how existance works. Everything has a price."

"It'll do us no good looking for her just yet though." Remarked Aura, pointing at the sun. "It would be preferable not to search at night, correct?"

The Elder spoke up once more. "You could stay the night in our Inn. Perhaps refresh yourselves and disscuss your plans. It wouldn't hurt to get a little rest and talk to one another in a more relaxed environment."

The Ice Corps
Supreme HQ
Dimension 888,815

With a grunt, Felix silently took his seat on one of Father Christmas' chairs. He had mixed feelings about meeting Celestia again. On one hand, she had helped him out quite a bit, especially after that sudden accident which he couldn't remember anymore. Yet… she gave him the creeps somehow. Not because she was scary or evil or malevolent or violent… it was simply the idea that something so powerful could possess this childlike naïvety.

Never mid that, though. I'll try not to let it show.

"I certainly don't mind going after your friend", he said to Elizabeth. "If our alliance grows big enough, I think it'd be possible to execute both missions simultaneously. However, it will be risky, and I cannot guarantee anything… After all, Maju does have an army of 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 men. That will definitely be a cause for concern, seeing as we're not certain if any other bards will come to our aid in the future."

Rotehund spat out some vomit into the bin, before staggering over to a seat and plunging himself into it, unbuttoning his jacket to relieve some of the feverish heat that had built up in his body.

"The main point of this alliance", said Hiccup, "is to take down Maju. I think, though, that we can, perhaps, do a lot more. For example, we could help to liberate territories that are under his jurisdiction."

"Our plan was to get rid of Haikarakainen", said Felix. "He's almost as great a threat as Maju. Besides, with him gone, the Sorcerer won't be able to get weapons, ergo we can defeat him more easily."

"I wouldn't be so sure of that", added Rotehund. "From what Father Christmas told me of this Maju, it seems that the weapons and the octillion-strong army are redundancies."

"That's a given", said Felix. "However, it would certainly be better with no army on his side, yes?"

Turning to the others, he continued. "What say you guys? Are you willing to help?"

Several centuries ago

The Spirit of the Hotel had completed the task that it had set out to do. Seven Instruments, of divine powers, that would be used to defend the Hotel from whatever tried to destroy or harm it.

Each Instrument had something of a mind of its own; the Spirit had left it up to them to choose the one who would wield it, hopefully, for Eternity. It was no easy task (the Spirit expected that each one would bring a meteor shower upon the planet that it chose to land on), but it was something that simply had to be done. Especially after it attacked.

Without so much as a goodbye, the incorporeal entity residing in the Hotel sent all seven of the Instruments out to the deep recesses of each individual dimension, all with their bearers in mind.

Now, it was a matter of waiting…

[Contamenesia]

Serena

Serena fell to her knees and began to cry, "It's hopeless!! Nooo....." she began to sob. even as her curse caused a section of the ceiling to collapse on her and only her, she still sobbed under rubble, the pain only adding to her tears.

Fauna

Fauna felt bad for this woman, she knew that no matter what, that she HAD to bring a smile and happiness to this poor cursed woman. No mortal should ever have to suffer True Immortality, who knows how long she's had to endure it....Fauna turned to Elizabeth. "I am still not joining any alliance. If there are those in need, then of course i will sing for them. I will help you, but i will not be apart of this alliance. it is not my purpose, this Maju's purpose and my purpose have little to do with each other. If his purpose interferes with my purpose, then i'll gladly help. Just as i did with Kalameet...though hopefully no one will get hurt..." she looked away, unable to meet their eyes. "It's never fun when people get hurt...."

Wasp

Wasp shrugged. "It doesn't matter, just get this done. kill what you have to kill, don't what you don't." Wasp then descended upon a world that lacked any wild-life, completely consumed by civilization, plants and animals killed off long ago, home only to smog, buildings, and sentient creatures. Wasp then took the power of the Sun, which made it dim, then HE became the sun. He walked but three steps before every single living being on the planet was roasted alive, buildings melted, water vaporized and smog obliterated. Wasp then gave back the Sun's essense and continued on, wiping away his foes with simplistic ease.

Jason

Jason rolled his eyes, "Yeah, you have a point, some rest wouldn't h---" just then heavy footsteps could be heard, the ground seemed to shake a little with each step, but that wasn't what bothered Jason, what bothered him was that he couldn't hear the music of what ever was causing it. In the distance a tall figure in blue, full body armor came into sight, walking slowly towards them. His armor was odd, as it mostly resembled a beetle. Jason drew his sword, unsure about this strange and intimidating new figure. The figure continued walking towards them until it came to a stop just a few feet away from them. "Has anyone seen an Alveranian run by here? Female, hooded, pointed ears. Seems magical but has no magic." the man said, his voice serious, yet not hostile. Still, Jason did not lower his blade. "An Alver-what?" he asked, then recalled that stranger that bumped into the girls just a few minutes earlier. The man in blue armor then suddenly turned to Aruvia....

"Cold. you know better than to cause trouble. Have you seen an Alveranian pass by? I have locked this dimension. Nothing gets in or out, so she can't leave."

"Cold. you know better than to cause trouble. Have you seen an Alveranian pass by? I have locked this dimension. Nothing gets in or out, so she can't leave."

Aruvia, Cold, paused as Beetle addressed her. Unlike her brothers, she had not attacked the Ahmarhan or antagonize them, though she had found herself experiencing their power first hand. After witnessing them beating the other dragons, she wisely decided to not antagonize them. Of course, she didn't necessarily like the Ahmarhan very much... Mostly because they were some of the only beings who could actually bully her into submission. She never liked it when that happened.

"The Alveranian..." She replied. "A pointy eared warm blood did pass by. Though I had no inclination to track her whereabouts beyond that, and I assume she uses special trickets, spells or skills to fool my senses as well, so helping you track her would not be an option." She remarked. "I'd suggest you continue with your persuit, the pointy eared one did not look particularly slow."

Jade paused as she saw Beetle. Waving to him. "Hey Beetle..." She remarked, her voice trailing off. She was still not sure what to think of him, or why the Ahmarhan kept cropping up.

[Naval Monte]

Elizabeth

"On most days I would call bullshit on anyone having an army that large, in fact I still kinda call bull on it." Elizabeth lean back on the sofa and placed her arms the headset of the sofa. " Sure with the multiverse it is possible to gain plenty of recruits and conscripts for such an army but than you have to deal with training the troops, dealing with the logistic of having to move around supplies for them and the simple fact of making sure they all have something to eat and drink everyday, all of which I can imagine is a nightmare for him." She than crossed one leg over the other.

Elizabeth let a wince appear on her face once she saw Serena get hit by the piece of the ceiling, she looked up for a moment to make sure the ceiling won't fall on her or at anyone else in her group. Once she was sure that it was her curse that caused the ceiling fall she turned her attention back to Felix.

"So along with bloody thristy sorcesor and his nightmarishly sized army we also have a bloody arms dealer who's name is as difficult to prounons as a lovecraftian god. You folks ever consider on simply tricking that army on invading a world that would be hostile towards them? Cause I know a few world's that would make having an army pointless." she explian, alreasdy thinking on which world's would cause the most damages to this army.

Elizabeth turned to Fauna once she explained that she wasn't going to be a part of the alliance but is willing to help Elizabeth, she also noted that she looked away when she mention it's never fun when people get hurt. "I can understand that seeing people get seriously hurt is never fun for most people and while you have the choice to leave at any time you want I glad that your staying with us for a while longer, even if I'm the reason for you staying." Elizabeth than lean forward and her legs moved away from each other, she now placed her elbows on her legs while holding her chin with her hands.

"Besides we can use your help on letting our spirits since morale tends to be a nastier bitch than any weapon or soldier out on the battlefield. Besides I'm sure Tess would like having someone to help her out with any injuried bolk we come across right?" She said turning to Tessy, the grin that was in her face soon turned into a frown when she saw Tessy.

Tessy looked obviously upset about the whole deal of joining a military alliance. That's right for most of her life the only thing she had to worry about was making sure her family was well. She never had to deal with warfare and kidnappings." Elizabeth turn to face Tessy from her side and reach out to grab her hand, gently calling out her name.

"I... I don't think I can do this Elizabeth. I healed people that were shot or injuried by wild animal but in all of them I was never a part of some strange alliance to fight against someone, let alone a general leading an army." She said, obviously worried about both herself and everyone in the group on getting involved with this alliance, she was espically worried over Elizabeth joining it.

Elizabeth knew that sooner or later Tessy would have problems with her quest, after all the two of them live vastly different life styles. Elizabeth moved closer to Tessy and gently hugged her from the side, moving her hair a bit as she gently whisper to her. "I know that I can't force you to stay with us if you feel uncomfortable about this., but... We do need a good doctor in our team and I know that your the best this group of ours got." Tessy was about to say that they also have Fanua and her flowers along with Celestia but Elizabeth was quicker in her respond. "I also feel more comfortable if my life was under your care than some random elf doctor."

Tessy was quiet for a while, during the time Elizabeth was worried that she was going to say no about the alliance and ask to return back home. Finally Tessy spoke. " I still don't like all of this... But, I will try to help you all out as best as I could." She than turn to face Elizabeth. "After all I have to make sure none of you get yourselves killed." She said letting out a small chuckle as she gave Elizabeth a smile. [i]Sorry Tess if there was a better option than I would have picked it but right now this one is offering us our best chance on finding Cryssa. I'll try my best to make sure that nothing relating to this alliance hurts you."

The English occultist gave both her lover and Doctor small smile as a respond and turn to face Kyne who has been quiet. Before she can speak the hybrid spoke. " I have no interest in this Maju guy or this arm dealers. My only interest is that this alliance will help us on finding Cryssa much more quickly." She said bluntly. So we both had the same idea about this alliance." Elizabeth knew that Celestia would be a problematic on to convince on joining and Adwith would join due to his code of honor.

She turn back to Felix. "As for me before I can say with confidence on joining this group I would like to know more about these two wankers that you both want off? Sure anyone with an army that huge is bad news from the start but I still don't know about this arms dealer, for starters what sort of weapons is he selling?" She than took a glance at Toothlees.

"Also while this has nothing to do with this alliance I have to ask. What is with the dragon over there and please tell me he is both house trained and friendly."

Crow

Crow appeared in yet another world were civilization as consumed all of nature. He stand still as the army fired waves of missles, bullets and energy weapons at him. None did any sort of damage on him but he redirected all of the damages that he should have felt back at them and at the surrounding city.

Throughout the world Crow rarely swung his sword, instead using his powers over damages and the enemies own weapons to bring about their own destruction. Among the rubble that is now the massive planet wide city Crow was left with both an injuried general and an injuried woman with her children. The abyss walker did not know if the woman and children were the generals family but he can see that they state they were in only none would live.

As the General drew his firearm and instant his body received more injuries while the woman and children were healed. The general fell to the ground dead while both the woman and kids fled the scene in terrors, Crow made no attempt to follow them.

"There is no reason to go after them." He muttered as he open a rift to the abyss and stepped inside, entering into a military space station. In a few hours the space station exploded and the only one to survive was Crow was flying towards a near by planet with a large piece of the space station.

When he finally impacted on the planet his armor protected him from the impact, using both his celerity powers he increased the speed he was flying at and with his damage manipulation powers he increase the destructive power of the impact.

A massive cloud of dust and debris covered the world, plunging it into darkness. The shockwave of the impact was strong enough to cause both building and mountains to crumble. Earthquakes and tsunamis destroyed the land. By the time Crow left the crater no one was there to greet him, most were either dead or were trying to survive.

Once more he open a portal to the abyss and once more appeared in another planet.

Tandem

Tandem was back home or at least what was left of his home. Many worlds in this universe were either destroyed or were badly damage that life can never return on them. There are less stars in this dead universes, leaving entire sections of the universe in a cold dark abyss.

Tandem walked in the haunting ruins that was once the capital, the only noise there to greet him is the low winds howling through empty ruins and the straining of bent and twisted metal struggling on staying strong, some have fail as in the distance the sound of building collapsing can be heard.

"Please if there is anyone here answer me!" Tandem called out, for hours he has search for any survivors, hoping to find proof that he is not the last member of his race and may e to find out what sort of event caused this amount of destruction in his home world.

From the distance Tandem can see a figure coming towards him, he didn't know what it was, but soon he got his answer. The figure suddenly vanished and appeared before him, it's black glass eyes staring directly into Tandem's own. Tandem's body refuse to move, fear binding him to the spit. The armor figure plunged it's fist through Tandem's chest and removed his still beating heart.

When Tandem screamed his eyes open wide, it took him a while to realize that he was still in Alice's apartment. After Tandem calmed down. "That old nightmare again, I hope I didn't wake Alice up with my screaming or any one else for that matter." As Tandem got up to get something to drink from the fridge he didn't know he was not alone on having their own problem.

Julia, in a spasm of remorse, began to place the postcards sent by her friends and family back above the fridge. Using a piece of her thumb that came off as glue to stick the post cards in place. It held in there for a moment, then it began to slide down and fall off, fluttering.

Numb from too many punches to her mind, Julia began to cry. Hot salty snot flowed from the holes on her face.

[Generailia]

Dennis & Aeris

Dennis had been surprised by the fact that the woman practically called him a skeleton. But after looking down and seeing how skinny he currently looks the Lich simply shrugged such a thing off. Yet Aeris had gave the woman a sharp look before silently eavesdropping on their conversation while her summoner seemed like he couldn't care less and even began to stare off into the distance in such a way that made his day-dreaming painfully obvious. Yet both of their attentions where quickly grabbed when some lava flowed into the room. Which of course surprised the thief..until his grin reformed even larger then usual once he saw the magma turn into a very familiar elf. The glare seemed to..have absolutely no effect as he couldn't help but chuckle after hearing such a proud officer burp as he thought. Yeah, I might have gone a bit far shoving such a spell on him. But I've got to admit that seeing an absolute asshole act like a fucking child throwing a temper tantrum is kind of hilarious. Sadly, the demonic feline wasn't as amused as bony seemed to be since the glare that she gave the colonel was far colder then the one he gave the undead thief. Since the cat was quite literally waiting for even the slightest excuse to end the arrogant elf's life.

Yet they were both quickly distracted by Fauna's outcry as the mage instinctively considering helping..but after hearing what the bard said about the unknown girl and the simple fact that the girl scared such a being to a noticeably high point he forced himself to remain neutral. Yet the cat sneaked a peak at the girl while the goddesses where dealing with the fairly arrogant mage and was both shocked and terrified to see that the woman was completely correct in her assumption. Since the power she radiated reminded the demon of some of the more powerful and older immortals she met..but the other things she sensed about the girl was something she would rather not even consider as she took a moment to regain her composure. Then immediately after doing so the adolescent demon went back to glaring at the colonel while the undead thief went back to daydreaming. Then, after Felix and Hiccup entered the girl continued her glare as she patiently waited for the colonel to attempt something stupid while the creature immediately seemed overjoyed as he thought. So, the foolish 'king' got better pretty quickly. Yet his smile quickly faded away after seeing the odd man accompanying him as he continued. But that prick is with him as well..guess I really shouldn't be surprised. Then he immediately went back to daydreaming while the girl eventually got bored of glaring and eavesdropped on their discussion at random points while also occasionally examining the people around her. But it was painfully obvious that both of them were extremely bored and simply killing time.

Adwith

Adwith wasn't really surprised that Elizabeth had responded to the odd mage's question. But the title she gave the odd man was one of which confused him, since the Shienaran doubted that the stranger in front of them ever gave them a name and even though he was unusually scrawny the thief really wasn't very skeletal. Then after hearing the three strangers of which reminded him faintly of the Aes Sedai from his world spoke he was about to respond when the arrogant woman next to him responded before anyone else got the chance to do so. Then the borderlander considered eavesdropping..but the voice within his mind began to whisper in a fairly paranoid tone. These woman..could they be Aes Sedai? No, I doubt that since they don't have the ageless face woman always seems to develop. But they do seem to posses some power, perhaps they are sending the younger ones after us? Yes that would make sense..since the shadow would suspect someone such as myself to look for the flaming face trying to hide within a crowd. The madman's tone was slowly turning into a sort of muttering until he finally began whispering things to himself harshly as he slowly disappeared from his mind. Sadly, his train of thought was interrupted by the entrance of a pool of literal magma.

The lava elf had both baffled and surprised the mercenary and the long dead aes sedai and they watched him glare at the mage who followed the group through the portal. Yet the was unable to eavesdrop on whatever the figure was saying since he couldn't help but think. Blood and Ashes! That pointy-eared figure quite literally turned into bloody lava! Light, is that thing even flaming human?! The voice quickly whispered in a far more fearful tone then his own. Of course not, it must be a servant of the dark one! It would make sense why he came to assist those woman in front of us..they must be serving the shadow as well! This tactic of supposed hospitality is very common in attempts of murder and kidnapping, this must be such a case! Yet I shall not go down easily you flaming darkfriends! The voice began attempting to attempting to grasp saidin, but the guardsman grappled with him just as he continued to fight back his hunger. Yet the man ended up missing Fauna's episode entirely due to this immense mental struggle. But he was brought back to his senses after something pushed Elizabeth towards a wall. So the Shienaran of course reached for his blade but before he could do anything the voice ended up practically screaming. Did you see what just happened?! Those woman must have done it! They were the only ones who had a clear purpose to do such a thing..but they did not seem to wield the power. Perhaps they are not Aes Sedai, yet their attack upon the fairly rude girl shows that they have no intention of allying with us! So we must slay them while we still have the chance! The voice practically tackled the power after such he finished speaking, so the thing carried away his attention away from a large portion of the meeting since the madman was ridiculously persistent simply because he didn't wish to die.

Yet the borderlander was practically ripped back into the real world after seeing the portal that invited two odd men and some unknown yet hostile looking creature into the room. Which of course caused the mercenary to instinctively seize saidin as he thought. What is that flaming abomination?! That creature..it seems to be following our two new visitors as if they were companions. Which must mean that they somehow control it, or something ordered that thing to occupancy them. The long dead aes sedai was stunned for a moment, but he quickly roared at him in a tone of which made his rate obvious. We should have slain this group while we still had the chance! Now they have some sort of shadowspawn following a few fairly skilled seeming darkfriends as reinforcements! That gateway..must have made by a darkfriend who can wield the one power! The voice was of course unable to see that such a portal both looked differently then the ones made with power and didn't have any traces of either saidin or saidar. Yet the guardsman's hand moved to his hilt as he grasped the thing with all of his might being how both the power and his own hunger made him almost vomit upon the floor. But the man was able to gain control over himself after a fair amount of time and it took even longer to fully regain his composure. Then after hearing their offer of an alliance the madman laughed before responding to such a offer within his mind. I can not believe that they consider us so to be foolish enough to think that a force of such size is even possible to raise! Yet this "Maju" figure is nothing more then an ant when compared to the dark one..even he even exists. Since this is the poorist attempt at a trap that I've ever experiences from his servants. But we are clearly out-numbered..so I should flee while they are still waiting for everyone's response. The Shienaran wasn't expecting the voice to sound so sane..but he was correct that this must be a trap. Such a incorrect thought was caused simply because he was both starving and currently wielding the power while a madman whispered in his ear. So the borderlander let go of his blade and forced a easily seen though smile across his face as he began slowly casting the weaves needed to make a portal.

[Naval Monte]

Elizabeth and Moon Sisters

"Both the string and the bloody fool have been quiet for some time now... Not sure if I like that?" Elizabeth looked over to the two of them, the string was still staring at everyone blankly while Adwith took most of Elizabeth's attention.

She saw his aura showing the signs of both anxiety and paranoia, to make matters worse she saw signs of Leondel's aura mixing with Adwith's aura. "Oi Adwith calm your tits will yea? Your so anxious that I can practically feel it from here." She than pointed at Toothless, she figures that Toothlees might be the source of his discomfort.

"If your scared about the giant reptile over there than think for a moment, if it was going to kill us it would have done so the first moment it saw us. Just ignore it and pretend it's either delicious food or a pretty woman or even better, a pretty woman with delicious food." She said with a chuckle.

Elizabeth heard a sigh coming from one of the Moon Sisters. "Also tell our old "friend" Leondel that unless he wants to walk around with crushed bollocks to stay in whatever recess in your mind he belong in." She said with a smile, though one couldn't help but feel that the smile was much more threatening than it appears.

Artemis spoke up. "If your worry about us leading you all into a trap than believe us that only traps are the ones made to defend this facility from intruders."The younger goddess gave Adwith a smile, unlike Elizabeth there was no hidden hint of it being threatening, just sweet.

From purgitory Jahvi sees both Dennis and Elizabeth. He wishes to enter the room and grab them both and drag them into his realm but with too many people present the Nepharite knew that it would be difficult if not impossible for it to do it now. For now it waits within it's realm, planing for the right moment to strike, in the mean time he allows for a small rift to appear within the walls so he can eavesdrop on the conversation.

It knows that it can always use telepathy to read the minds and memories of those present in the meeting but for now it wants to gather as much new information right now before it is force to leave again.

[Contamenesia]

Fuana

Fauna shook her head. "I think you misunderstand. I will not be apart of this war effort. However i will help those who need it. I'm a bard, not a medic, not a warrior, not a spy. I play music and use my magic only to bring happiness to those around me. I will do only my purpose, not these senseless and idiotic purposes that you would do. If my purpose happens to require me to fight, or to heal, or to resurrect the dead, then i will do as my purpose requires, but i will not do anything more or less than my own purpose. this is how the universe works, everything has a purpose to play, so thus it is only right to abide by that purpose...." she said calmly.

Celestia

Celestia frowned, "Felix, could you make food for these mortals? they seem to be hungry." Celestia then turned to Elizabeth, "You are going nowhere. Celestia will bring you to the Being, and Celestia will learn that being's secret. Celestia will not allow any more delays or complications. Once the Bard is....finished, Celestia will take you to the being in exchange for the being's secret." she said matter of factly. She did not care about Maju or his army. If he got in the way of her mission, she would simply remove him and his army. Much simpler that way, much less complication. She didn't understand why all these people she hadn't met before where so interested in her, but she decided that they weren't important.

Serena

Serena painfully crawled out from the debris, her leg audibly snapping as she pulled it free, which made her scream. Her body then began to painfully fix itself, snapping bones and tendons back into place. Though healed, the pain remained. "I don't care about this Maju or his army. With time, He'll perish, and so will his army. I'll simply wait until the end of this history and he and everything else will perish....but i will remain, and i will watch in loneliness as the next history begins, just as i have watched it occur....soooo many times before...Everything is meaningless. I will outlive everything, gods, demons, heaven and hell, this hotel, even existence itself....because....I...Can't....END!!!" she said bitterly sobbing. "You are all meaningless!! everything you do is meaningless!! Existence is meaningless!!! My existence......is meaningless....." she continued to sob, curdled into a ball, looking at no one.

Wasp

Wasp continued on to the next universe, and proceeded to do the same as before. He came across a planet brimming with life, both sentient and not. Like a silent assassin, he descended down to the planet. Silently and stealthly, killed all 4 billion humans that inhabited the planet, the feat took him but a minute, he left the rest of animals and creature be, he had no orders to extinguish them.

Jason

Beetle unfolded his helmet, looking at Jade, "Are you following me? i seem to keep running into you, highly unlikely for it to be just random chance...if so, then stop." he turned to Aruvia, "So the Alvaranian is here, good. i don't need to hurry. it wont take me long now. He suddenly grabbed Aura by the head and gently lifted her up. Jason jumped forward putting his sword between Beetle and Aura, but Beetle seemed completely unphased by this. "Put her down if you wish to live." Jason warned. Beetle ignored him, inspecting Aura for a moment before dropping. Beetle then but lightly tapped Jason, and he was sent flying into a nearby building, and then straight into a tree, which made it snap and fall over. It hurt like hell, but Jason got back to his feet. "Oh, buddy, i don't know what the hell you are or why you have no music, but that right there, was a mistake." The man said nothing in response, only simply frowned, as if Jason was only a mere annoyance.....

The Ice Corps
Supreme HQ
Dimension 888,815

The sight of the thief wasn't the most pleasing to Hiccup, who silently and unconsciously clutched his chest as a dull, incorporeal pain manifested itself inside his heart. Yet, he remained silent; now wasn't the time to make new enemies, after all.

Felix, on the other hand, didn't concern himself with the thief, or anyone else for that matter. That moment, he was silently conjuring up a large banquet on the table, a banquet comprising trays of fresh oysters (with sliced lemons and tabasco sauce on the side), heaps of neatly sliced and delicately seasoned boiled potatoes, and chunks of butter, along with the occasional translucent bottle of avocado oil here and there. "Eat up", he said to the rest, smiling amicably.

With that, he swept his hand, pulling out all the chairs from under the table that he had created in the middle of the large lounge, thus allowing all of them to sit down with ease.

"We can discuss the terms of our alliance over a bit of dinner", he added.

Ceremonial Ground

"Parade, attention!"

"Guard of Honour, enter parade!"

"Yes sir!"

"Guard of Honour, quick march!"

(Fanfare)

"Guard of Honour, halt!"

"Guard of Honour, face to the right, dress!"

"Eyes front!"

"Guard of Honour, stand at ease!"

Bagpipe fanfare

"Now, may we invite General St. Nicholas to give his address."

…

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Many of us may already be celebrating the victory of our troops and our allies against the hostile forces of Maju. However, as this laying of the memorial stone reminds us, this victory did not come without a cost, namely, the loss of 30,000 brave men and women of the Corps. Today, we lay them to rest, in the hope that their sacrifice will ensure that this will never happen again."

Bast
Dimension 1,013

The planet of Bast was a misty, dark planet, completely covered in toxic water.

That is, save for a single castle that rose out of the ocean and into the air, elevated by a gigantic crystal of magical properties.

It was in this castle that Maju's scientists and researchers carried out their experiments. For 36 years (time passed significantly faster in Dimension 1,013, though immortals weren't really affected), the Maju Army's most intelligent men had locked themselves in this castle, researching on a few chosen test subjects taken from the gigantic pool of soldiers that were crammed into Barukana, finding ways to genetically modify them and make them stronger.

Today, however, they were being… interrupted.

The twenty-six Juggernaut guards standing at the entrance of the fortress had no idea what had hit them; one moment they were standing upright with their gigantic scimitars, and the next moment, every single one was lying on the floor with a shining bolt of light buried in their hearts. The dark figure responsible for the attack silently and cooly stepped over the bodies, making his way towards the fortress.

Flicking his wrist, the man sliced through the five platinum rods that kept the gigantic gates shut. With another flick, he slashed a gigantic hole in the door, before leaping through and landing on the ground on his feet.

The courtyard was filled with legions of Maju soldiers, around about 500. Upon the shadowed figure's entry, all the troops fell back in fear, save for four men in black leather suits and white masks, all of which had golden needles spiking out from their foreheads, rather like horns. One of the men (the most senior leader) wore silver aiguillettes on his left, aiguillettes that ended, instead of pencil tips, gigantic, serrated spikes.

"Oooooohhh", the man said to himself, grinning lopsidedly and sarcastically. "I seem to have stumbled across something rather importaaaaaant…"

The men were terrified. Apparently, they were aware of who he was.

"Th-that's the… the…"

"Chevalier Kizaru II the Satyr, Tenshi of the Hotel", said one of the junior leaders, drawing a long, serrated sabre with a blue tint to the blade.

"Oooooohh, they seem to know who I am. Perhaps I shouldn't underestimate theeeeeem?" said Kizaru to himself. Adjusting his sunglasses, he looked at the four leaders, standing on top of a platform. "So you're Maju's scientists, eeeeehhhh?"

"We are merely their defenders", replied one of the other junior leaders. "The scientists are hidden, deep in the heart of the fortress."

"Oooooohh, that's good", came Kizaru's reply. "I spent so long looking them. It would be a shame, indeed, if they aren't heeeeeeeeere…"

"You won't get them, you filthy fuck", spat the senior leader. He unraveled the silver aiguillettes from his shoulder and held it in his hands, swinging the two spikes until they became a blur. "You won't get past us."

"A "filthy fuck"?" said the Tenshi, in very apparent mock surprise. "I would advise you people to consider the choice of insults you use on your enemiiiiieeeeees. Because right now, the only filthy ones here seem to be all of yoooouuuuuuu."

The leader with the silver aiguillettes screamed in rage. "Kill him!"

With that, all three of the junior leaders leapt into the air and charged straight at Kizaru.

"Ooooooohh, you lot sure are scaaaaaaaary…"

With a single, nonchalant flick of his hand, Kizaru produced a long, shining spear from nowhere, before whirling it artfully and holding it in his trademark defensive position; it was the Eternal Javelin. As the three swung their cruel and comically jagged blades, the Tenshi chuckled innocuously, before hurling the Javelin into the ground.

The moment it touched the ground, all three of the attacking men were suddenly frozen. A blinding flash of light burst through for a split second, rendering all the spectators blind. The moment it cleared, the three junior leaders were lying on the floor, decapitated. Slowly, Kizaru stood up from his kneeling position and pulled out another shining Javelin.

"Aaaaahh, perhaps that might have been overkill", he said, wiping his mouth and chuckling. "They certainly looked more powerful than they weeeeeeeeere…"

Swinging his spiked aiguillettes, the senior officer charged forward, yelling commands to his troops. They were scared of the Tenshi, but the thought of being turned into a test subject didn't exactly register well with them either. As such, they followed their commander's order. In a few seconds, the Tenshi had dispatched 200 of Maju's troops, before proceeding to spar with the leader atop a field of bloodied, leather clad corpses.

"You will not catch those scientists. Bast is not the only place in which they reside", said the commander, as he struck Kizaru in the shoulder with his aiguillette spikes. The Tenshi cried out jeeringly, as his shoulder disintegrated into light, before regenerating itself in a matter of milliseconds.

"Ooooohh, but capturing one is better than not capturing any at all, nooooooo?"

"Not on my watch", spat the commander. With that, he was impaled in the abdomen with a shining Javelin, flying backwards and crashing into the wall. "I shall destroy this place completely."

To Kizaru's (fake) surprise, the commander whipped out a remote control, before slamming his thumb on the only button it had. With a sadistic and painful laugh, he slumped against the wall, maroon blood dribbling out of his lifeless lips. The next second, the entire fortress exploded in a gigantic, brilliant mushroom, killing all the scientists and other personnel within.

"Damn it", said Kizaru, as he watched from behind a portal in the Hotel. "That was so unexpected. How crazy, some of these guys aaaaaare…"

He shut off the portal, before turning around and making his way somewhere else, somewhere else that only he knew.

[Naval Monte]

Elizabeth

"Hey as long as you stay in this little group I can care less if you join the war or not." Elizabeth said plainly, she wanted to ask Fauna about why she didn't resurrect Tak if she can bring the dead back but right now it would be both pointless and in bad timing to mention that subject now.

Elizabeth snorted once she heard Celestia's responds. "Yeah if you think Alizs is going to keep their end on the deal than you are really naive on how mages work. We never reveal our secrets unless we are sharing them with apprentice or people who are very close to us and even than we still keep some secrets from them." She explained, glad that the string is now interested at learning Alzis's secerts again instead of her own.

Turing to the source of the bone snapping she saw Serena coming back to life and pulling herself free from the debris. "Welcome back to the world of the living highlander." She teased, only for her smile to fade once she heard Serena yell out a nilhilist rant about the alliance and everything that they are doing. "Oh Jesus she is one of those people. Granted it is understand le with her curse but it doesn't change the fact that it annoys me to know end."

Tessy was about to up to hel Serena but Elizabeth stopped her. "Let me deal with her. If I screw up than you can come by to clean up my mess." She got up and went towards the sobbing ball that was Serena. Kneeling down she reach out to grab Serena by her cheeks and force the woman to look at the English occultist.

"You have a point. Existence is pretty meaningless, everything we do has no ultimate meaning or purpose andwe will all eventually die and be forgotten. But you know what I rather have existence this way." She stated, confusing the Moon Sisters, Tessy and Kyne. "Think about it, since there is no inherent worth in everything that we do that means we have the choice to find and make something out of the meaningless of existence." She began to rub away the woman's tears.

"Instead of sitting here angsting like a bloody teenager how about you get up and try to find a way to break this sodding curse. Use that search to break the curse to make your like worthwhile and dare I say enjoyable. After if that curse had a beginning than it means it has an end, it's just taking a bloody long time for it to end." Elizabeth than let go of the woman and went back on the table.

"You think that little talk is going to cheer her up?" Tessy questioned, Elizabeth responding with a shrug. "Honestly no, but I don't deal with her existential moping right now." She whispered back to Tessy, to make sure Serena doesn't hear her.

By the time Elizabeth returned back to her spot on the sofa Felix has already conjured a large table with chairs and food on it. Tessy looked amaze on seeing the table and food appear from thin air and while Kyne didn't show she too found the trick impressive. "Neat trick angel. Normally I wouldn't bother with oysters since the first time I had them I got sick but right now I'm so hunger I'm willing to eat almost anything now."

Elizabeth along with Tesdy and Kyne sat down on the table and began to eat. "So what sort of terms we have to follow through with this little alliance of yours?" She asks as she takes a bit on a sauce covered osytser.

Moon Sisters

"That woman is a poor motivation speaker." Hecate stated, though Selene and Artemis found Elizabeth attempt rather sweet if not flawed. How can anyone make a person who has seen the end of multiple histories while suffering through the worst curse imaginable feel happy even for a moment?

Selene walked over to Serena and went down on the floor next to her. She than move the cursed immortal on to her legs and pressed her gently close to her body, gently embracing the immortal as Selene allow Serena to cry on her. The woman than began to hum a sing, hoping to calm her down.

Artemis and Hecate soon join the others on the table and while the younger sibling join in on the meal Hecate didn't yet. "Our term is to find a way to end that immortal's curse. Any other terms would be tied to our job as guardians of the hotel." Artemis than spoke up., pointing at both Elizabeth and Adwith.

"No offense to you two but not only do you need to change your clothing but you also stink too." She said giggling, Elizabeth gave the young maiden the middle finger as she ate. "Yes having torn and blood stain clothing would cause some issue so after your done eating and the meeting is over you people can take a break for the day. Something tells me that you all had a long and stressful day."

Crow

Crow went into a different universe and like before he proceed to use his damage based powers to let the enemy destroy themselves as he moved whatever damage they may have caused on him back at them. When Crow felt that Demi gods were approaching he summon several abomnations from the abyss to deal with them.

Crow left the plants and animals be as he sees no reason for them to die, he even attack the abysmal creatures he summon that tried to attack one of the animals in his presence. Once all human left on the planet was gone he sent the abomnations back where they belong as he goes to his next target.

[Generailia]

Dennis & Aeris

Dennis ignored the three goddesses response to the extremely odd and moderately idiotic seeming soldier who looked ready to do something incredibly stupid. While Aeris turned her rather threatening gaze towards the swordsman as she gaze him a fairly harsh look while attempting to determine whether or not he was any real threat. Then after the demonic feline decided that fighting him would be like bullying a child she quickly decided to turn her attention elsewhere while her summoner went back to daydreaming. Yet the Lich's daydreaming was disrupted by the odd girl's mental breakdown while the demon at his side seemed to be watching her our of the corner of her eye warily.

But before the thief could assist her the unknown woman he had spoken to before hand spoke to her..and the fact that she called the crying woman "highlander" confused him since such a claim would mean that she was immortal. Which was entirely possible..and the creature of course missed the creation of the food and Hiccup's response entirely due to both his daydreaming and worry. But the cat moved towards the table after both the odd and fairly filthy man and excessively unknown yet fairly powerful mage next to him took their seats. Yet she immediately took her seat nonetheless and seemed to ignore everything around her as she watched everyone around the table both silently and warily while sitting in a rather elegant but comfortable position as she forced her usual grin across her face. Then the undead thief quickly followed as he took the seat next to her before flashing the rather uncomfortable looking viking a playful wink as he sat in a fashion of which made the fact that he was a fairly skilled thief easily seen by anyone who would recognize such a thing in the first place. Then the creature's corpse-like eyes drifted towards a nearby wall as he began to daydream yet again.

Adwith

Adwith hadn't noticed that Elizabeth turned around until she finally spoke, so the surprise easily broke his concentration and caused the weaves needed to make a gateway to simply disappear in the air. Which caused the Shienaran to give the arrogant woman his full attention..and after both the girl and the three female strangers finished speaking with them he began to consider what "bollocks" meant when he suddenly heard a extremely familiar voice whisper harshly. The excessively rude woman cheats about as much in a fair duel as you do soldier! Yet she still seems to be addressing a voice within my own mind while I stand directly right in front of her..it seems that this girl is about as foolish as she is arrogant. The borderlander was about to respond when he heard the "string" speak to Elizabeth and after she finished he couldn't help but frown as he thought. Light, she is as flaming stubborn as a spoiled child. Suddenly, the mercenary heard the odd girl beside the three woman mentally breakdown and he listened until she suddenly used terms that left him completely baffled as he watched the arrogant woman next to him move to comfort her.

Yet things only seemed to get weirder when an entire feast appeared out of nowhere..and all of the food covering the table was completely unfamiliar to him. Sadly, the only reason that the guardsman was even able to determine that such a thing was food was because of the immediate response that his stomach gave as he stared at the table hungrily. So the man of course missed most of Elizabeth's response as he heard Leonel practically growl. I do not trust this stranger's "dinner" at all. Since the conjuring of food might be possible if someone tried hard enough..but they would of course lack any real nourishment. It could also be poisoned of course, which would make their odd kindness far more reasonable. This of course caused the Shienaran to quickly respond. Then I shall not eat their flaming food, but I might as well sit at the bloody table anyway. The long dead aes sedai seemed to chuckle in his usual form where the volume resides and ascends at random points before responding. Fine, walk into their trap like the ignorant and filthy mercenary you are! But do not blame me if this ends up ending horrendously for the both of us! The madman's tone was far more amused in his sentence sentence as he slowly faded away until only the faint feeling of his presence in the back of the borderlander's mind remained. So the mercenary silently took his seat and ignored the three female stranger's comment completely as he stared at the food hungrily as he sat in a way of which seemed rather militaristic but still fairly polite. But both the guardsman's facial expression and clutched fists made it pretty obvious that he was forcing himself to not eat any of the food upon the table as he gradually dropped saidin. Yet such a effort only made his the usual feeling of disappointment obvious as he loosened his grip slightly before returning his face back to it's usual and excessively cold form..but his eyes never moved away from the meal upon the table nonetheless.

[Kaidou]

Elizabeth along with Tesdy and Kyne sat down on the table and began to eat. "So what sort of terms we have to follow through with this little alliance of yours?" She asks as she takes a bit on a sauce covered oyster.

The clattering of an emptied oyster shell on the stainless steel platters rang lightly as Felix finished his first oyster, reaching out to take another one.

"I'm not one to impose terms and conditions on others, actually", he said, chuckling ever so slightly. "Perhaps just the simple ones, like not backstabbing your team and… well… that sort of thing." Using his fork, Felix scraped the jelly out of the shell, before spearing it and putting it into his mouth. "What I'm more concerned about", he said, with his mouth partially full, "is the plan that we have to achieve our goals, something which we're still working on now.

"Now, I don't expect the Tenshi to help us all the way (though considering their battle against Maju, they might), so we'll plan without them, or, at least, without the other six." (The seventh being the tripartite Guardian, all three of whom had taken their seats at the table.)

Before the conversation could continue, the doors of the lounge flew open, with BG Ener Hallurm striding into the room. Except that he was no longer BG (Brigadier General) Ener Hallurm; he was MG (Major General) Ener Hallurm. A second golden star had been added to each of his rank slides, along with a blue ribbon on his left chest. Just after the erection of the monument, there had been a mass promotion of the general staff and other individuals.

With MG Hallurm was a Captain (CPT) carrying a velvet tray with an identical blue ribbon and two one-starred rank slides on it.

"Gentlemen", he said. "Before I say what I wish to say, I should like to announce that General Nicholas (Father Christmas had been promoted as well, from a Lieut. General to a full General) wishes to award COL Samuel Rotehund with the Blue Ribbon, and also promotes him to the rank of Brigadier General."

Rotehund stood up, saluting MG Hallurm sharply (despite his haggard condition), before taking the rank slides and the ribbon and sitting back down.

"And now, to my second point.

"Father Christmas would like to inform all of you that he wishes to help contribute to your efforts to take down Maju. However, he is unable to do so personally, as his duty as a Guardian of the Hotel requires him to do other things, on top of his duty to succour the impoverished children of Existence. As such…" Here, Hallurm paused, glancing about uneasily at the ragtag bunch seated at the incongruously immaculate table.

"As such, he will be sending Brigadier General Samuel Rotehund to accompany you on your endeavours."

The Hotel
Several centuries ago

It had been eons since the Hotel was the location for such a monumental war. Hordes of men in red fur coats, all casting blazing bolts of dark magic energy all over the place, charged through the corridors of the Hotel, screaming in delirium as they made their way through.

The opposing side was a mixed force; muscular elves with gigantic machine guns and heavily armoured vehicles, great, semi-physical dragons coiling in the sky and raining golden bolts of lightning upon the men in the red fur, numinous, sexless angels flying high above the corridors; these were the armies that the Tenshi, Guardians of the Hotel, had summoned to battle this perpetrator. Some Tenshi fought alongside their armies, while others were alone.

As the men in the red fur attempted to climb a flight of stairs that led to Lobby XXIII, a sleigh pulled by six armoured reindeer crashed in front of them, crushing the ones in front; from the sleigh, Father Christmas, Wielder of the Sceptre, was firing at the invaders incessantly with the sleigh's mounted GPMG. Alongside him was one of the lone Tenshi; Kizaru II, Wielder of the Javelin, known to his opponents as "The Satyr". As Father Christmas continued to fire and reload (almost simultaneously) in a calculated yet passionate silence, the other Tenshi charged through the ranks of red-furred men, swinging his glowing Javelin and rapidly slicing off heads as he went.

"Who are these guys?" he asked rhetorically. "They're really persisteeeeeeeeeeeeent…"

A few levels below the two, most of the remaining Tenshi were also fighting.

"It vould be gut", came the voice of one Illuneo Illushu, Wielder of the Hammer, "if zose Moon Sisters could get ze intel on zese guys faster. Zey've been gone for quite some time now, no?" With a single stroke, he hammered an officer, crushing him completely. "Ve've already killed off quite a lot of zem, but ve still haven't found zeir leader anyvhere."

A gigantic arm made of sand reached across the corridor, smothering a squad of the red-furred men. Immediately afterwards, a brilliant white fire erupted from within, blasting everybody within into molten oblivion. From within, came the elegant figure of the Royal Dragon, Mera the Golden, wielder of the Ring.

"Perhaps he's gotten to him already?"

Indeed.

The last Tenshi had managed to clear his way through to the Portal from which the entire hostile army had entered. There, in front of him, stood a gigantic Tajiu warrior in a frilled and feathered mask with no eyeholes, gripping a gigantic mace.

"Great Baron, Erdûcesma Tlaponue Groiouealeñai Tabjurô Hregoan Revik Hyaakudzhu", said the Tenshi in perfect Tajise. "That is your name, is it not?"

The red-furred warrior nodded, before silently taking off his mask; beneath it was a fair face, flawless, save for the fact that both his eyes had been gouged out many years ago, leaving only two empty sockets.

"And you are Master Klingsor of the Tenshi, Wielder of the Trident. Are you not?"

Klingsor smiled. How the blind warrior was able to see, he had no idea; yet, that was not a great concern for the Tenshi at the moment. Silently, he withdrew his hands from his pockets, before pulling out, from the air, his Eternal Trident, its three points glinting luminously.

"If only Illushu had killed your ancestor when he had the chance. For 400 years, your clan has brought nothing but misery to the Dimensions of the Hotel."

"Illushu did not have the heart to kill someone whom he was tasked to care for", said Erdûcesma. "It now lies on all of you Tenshi to take me down." He grinned maliciously, that beautiful yet ruined countenance emanating its wicked aura throughout the room.

"As you wish", replied Klingsor.

With a leap, he hurled his Trident at the warrior. It found its mark in the warrior's chest, sending spurts of crimson liquid spraying out. Without so much as a squeal of pain, the warrior tore the weapon out of his body, before casting it aside, only to have it stabbed back into his arm.

"What sorcery is this?"

Klingsor chuckled. "I am not a sorcerer. I am one with an inborn ability."

The gigantic warrior raised his mace high into the air, grunting as he prepared to bring it down on the Tenshi in front of him.

He's going to try and crush me under the mace. He will put his left leg forward to block my right side, and then he'll push me to my left, and crush me with the mace.

The moment Erdûcesma thrust his titanium capped foot forward, Klingsor stepped deftly to the side, before spearing the leg with the Trident, which he had somehow retrieved from the arm of the giant. With that, he leapt into the air and kicked Erdûcesma aside, before twisting his own body and stabbing the Trident into the warrior's knee.

Now, Erdûcesma will try to grab the Trident and prevent me from taking it back. After this, he will attempt to create a portal to Dimension 51,916 so that he can take a scoop of the toxic Breinen Lava to attack me with.

With a swift movement, Klingsor slashed the arm of the warrior with the prongs of his Trident, before kicking it aside and stepping on his body.

Now he'll…

The arm sweeping across caught Klingsor by surprise as it seized him by the leg, raising him high into the air.

"You will pay for this, klingsor", said Erdûcesma, enraged.

Erdûcesma was promptly hit in the forehead by an enormous bullet, sending him crashing backwards into a table with a horrifying scream. From the parapet above, the figure of an immensely muscled, iron clad white reindeer leapt across, before landing beside the crumpled heap of the dying Erdûcesma and Klingsor, who climbed to his feet.

The rider, of course, was none other than Father Christmas.

"So you managed to find the leader, eh?" he said.

Erdûcesma coughed violently, before sitting up and gazing at Father Christmas. How he managed to do that when he had no eyes, neither St Nicholas nor Klingsor could tell.

"I have a son."

With those words, the warrior slumped against the wall and died.

Serena

Serena turned bitterly to the woman. "You are an idotic child. you live in a self made bubble. i will not be lectured by a childish moron like yourself." She bit her lip, then her hair combusted into flame and then she collapsed as she felt herself have a heart attack. Despite the extreme pain in her eyes, she made no sound whatsoever...Finally the fire vanished and the heart attack passed. both of which were only minor things compared to the horrors and pain she had endured before. She looked up. "How old do you think i am? Because you know what. i cant even remember....so many histories have passed....."

Fauna

"You are both being childish. Everything in the universe has a purpose and everyone's only purpose is to follow that purpose. I should know, the Bards have existed since the First History. Though not necessarily me or whoever the other one is. Our life spans are no different from any of your's..." She turned to the Angel, pardon me, but may i have simply fruits and vegetables? I dont eat fish." she asked softly.

Celestia

Celestia shrugged at Elizabeth's reply. "It matters not if the being chooses to keep its promise. Celestia will force it to teach her either way." She said platonically. All emotion gone from her face. Though she did not like this waiting she hoped that the other Bard eould finish soon. Celestia didnt really care about the majority of those around her, though a few them perhaps did have skills she had yet to learn....

Kyne

Kyne ate for a bit, then excused herself from the table, and walked out of the room. These Voodoo people were getting to be a bit too much. She needed some air. Kyne found a small empty room not too far from where the others were but far enough that their voices were barely audible. She pulled out one of her knives and began to toss it into the air only to catch it perfectly before tossing it again, repeating the process. She usually did this when she needed to think....
