Holy High - IC 2 - Open

[Theocretes]

Ianar blasted Mourir with a fireball
He used his sighn language to speak
"Take that, meanie"

The fireball, like the others, dissipated, and Mourir scowled, "I said enough." He raised a hand, black energy coalescing into a dense orb in it, "I don't have time for your games, and if you continue I will have no choice but to retaliate." Granted, the fireballs were relatively weak, and Ianar couldn't actually hurt him with them, but the hostility was enough reason to fight back.

Ianar launched another
"s-c-r-e-w y-o-u
He flipped Mourir off

Ianar launched another
"s-c-r-e-w y-o-u
He flipped Mourir off

Mourir, once again dismissing the bolt, rolled his eyes, then unleashed the orb, which was much more powerful than any of the fireballs would've been, blasting Ianar dozens of yards back with the force of it, his body crashing into the sand as Mourir continued forward, summoning another orb as he stood over the bloodied god, the red fluid pouring from Ianar's chest, where a good chunk of flesh had been taken out by the blast, "Are you finished?" He planted a foot on Ianar's wound, twisting his heel, which would cause immense pain.

Ianar launched another directly towards Mourir's face
He would not give up
He had been through worse.....much worse
And Mourir's foot didnt hurt a bit, after so many "mortal" wounds
You grow a nice little resistance to pain

[SuperHappySmileyWorld]

"I dunno. I know almost nothing about what's going on, so if something is forgotten, then I guess we'll just have to find out about it later. Do we just wait here for everything to finish going down, or is there something that we need to do here."

Mourir looked back at the battle briefly, then turned around once more. "I would suggest standing by until further notice. Getting in Ryujin's way is not something that often ends pleasantly, from what I've observed. And Raven," he brought a hand down to his mace, elbow brushing back the plain gray cloak, "He does need to be brought down. If he needs us, he will lose. If he does not, well," the god of endings shrugged, "Then he doesn't."

"Well I am comfortable with standing back for now, this Raven is a bit beyond my pay grade..." Tercan admitted, not wanting to directly admit how she didn't know much about fighting, or much interest in learning. "How was this world found? Do we know what is different about it? Are there other worlds where we might have to deal with this again?"

________________________-

Epsom had approached closer to the scene with Tercan and Cyrek, over hearing their introductions and the brief filling in by Mourir. It occurred to Epsom that he had never really met any gods beyond his own pantheon. He thought about engaging when he recalled the memories. he doesn't know what kind of reputation he has now... Perhaps they would immediately hate him should they find out what he had done. Thinking this, he tried his best to not be noticed while maintaining safe distance from the fighting

[Ranoria]

Mourir, once again dismissing the bolt, rolled his eyes, then unleashed the orb, which was much more powerful than any of the fireballs would've been, blasting Ianar dozens of yards back with the force of it, his body crashing into the sand as Mourir continued forward, summoning another orb as he stood over the bloodied god, the red fluid pouring from Ianar's chest, where a good chunk of flesh had been taken out by the blast, "Are you finished?"

The ball dissipated, and Mourir frowned, then snorted in derision, summoning a barrier around Ianar's body, preventing him from doing so much as move. His eyes narrowed, and the barrier began to constrict itself around the smaller god. Soon, it would be crushing his bones. "I asked if you're finished." He opened a palm toward's Ianar's face, preparing to fire a beam straight through his skull. Pain tolerance wouldn't matter. It would kill him, and it would kill him instantly. Meanwhile, he allowed him to speak again, not deeming it necessary to prevent it any longer.

[Luminesa]

"We're happy you're okay, too, and we should have believed you in the first place," Xavier told him, smiling.

Patriah tried to grin at him, though he was still worried for Thana.

Zeruel, in the meantime, turned to Otohime. "Who might you be?" he asked, bored himself.

She was taken aback by his interference, and looked over, "Otohime, princess of the ocean. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"BEGONE ANGEL, WE DONT WANT YOU HERE!
Ianar launched fireball after fireball at the anglel, not meaning to hurt him, but to drive him away
He laughed as he did

Mourir, walking past them, flicked a hand, dissipating the fireball before it left Ianar's palm with a grunt, "You're loud and obnoxious, now that's enough out of you." He continued stalking towards the battle, eyes narrowed in thought.

This time, Zeruel knew to dodge, and he merely moved aside as the fireballs exploded behind him. He then looked to Otohime as though nothing had happened. "'Princess of the Ocean'? Interesting. Who is your father?" he asked, ignoring Mourir and Ianar as they fought.

Xavier, however, did not ignore them. Before they could fire on each other again, he got between them, his wings ablaze as a warning. "That's enough! Both of you! I mean it!" he shouted.

Patriah merely stood aside and watched them, his mind still clouded with worry for Thana.

Mourir, standing atop Ianar, looked over at the angel, and blinked, the fire extinguishing itself instantly. "Step aside, angel, this is none of your concern." If Xavier attacked, he would realize just who was dealing with. "He deemed it necessary to do battle, do not dishonor his decision."

Otohime looked towards Ryujin, nodding towards the much, much, much larger dragon, "Um, Ryujin. He's over there...I feel like I should stop him before he gets himself hurt..."

[Theocretes]

"I am the one who started this rebellion. I am the one who has nearly convinced Tharizdun to side with us. I am the one who fought Ares, Mars, Supay and Ryujin and lived to tell the tale. I am the one who is a good friend of Shen Lung. So think about killing me and think about the far reaching effects of it. I did not attack you to harm you, I assumed you would take it a joke. Now I am attacking you out of principle. You act out of blind rage....you play with your power....you overestimate yourself. Think about what you are doing, and think, think if this rebbelion that I have brewed. Dont underestimate me.

Mourir looked back down at him, raising an eyebrow, "You're even more idiotic than I thought. I attack out of retaliation little one, you began the fight. I have no rage, and only a fool would begin a battle as a joke." He knelt down, squeezing him a bit tighter in the field, so that it would be more difficult to breathe, "And as I recall, Shen Lung saved you from both Ares and from Supay. Ryujin did not battle you, he threatened you. Had that happened, you would be dead. This 'rebellion' as you so call it is foolish at best, and has only dragged us into further chaos. You have accomplished nothing, and you have no capabilities to speak highly of. I know my limits." He placed a palm on Ianar's head, energy crackling between them. "Do you know yours?"

"nope"

"I thought so." Mourir let the energy loose, blasting Ianar's head.

But, instead of killing him, it was just a little more than enough to knock the weaker god out, leaving him unconscious and with one hell of a concussion, but he was otherwise unharmed. Mourir stood up then, letting his barriers relax their vice grip, "He should wake up in a few hours."

[Luminesa]

"nope"

"I thought so." Mourir let the energy loose, blasting Ianar's head.

But, instead of killing him, it was just a little more than enough to knock the weaker god out, leaving him unconscious and with one hell of a concussion, but he was otherwise unharmed. Mourir stood up then, letting his barriers relax their vice grip, "He should wake up in a few hours."

Xavier nodded to him and he picked-up Ianar. "But wait...Hime, why don't you want us to go back to Earth? We're going to be needed down there, it's not like your dad and Hamiri can take Raven on their own," he asked her.

Otohime looked over and shook her head, "You can go help them, but...don;t get involved, you're already hurt, no need to push yourselves. I think I'm going to see if I can get Father to stop, anyhow. There's no point in him getting hurt or killed..."

[Luminesa]

"No way. If you go down there and get hurt, it's the end of the world. You need to stay here," Xavier told her, gently taking her hand. Plus he knew Raphael loved her, so he had to defend her for his sake.

[Syrixces]

Raven sighed, and snapped his fingers, Ryujin, phasing through him, biting into nothing. He then side-stepped the dragon, and snapped his fingers gain, a cloud of energy humming from his fingers. He looked up, dead-faced, and frowning, expressing his displeasure with the dragon.

How disapointing. I had higher hopes for you. In the meanwhile, I've returned your cancer. Don't push it, and I'll remove the tumors.

He then turned to the others, shaking his head in disappointment.

I've only ever raised my arms against you in defense. Thana, betrayed us. Xavier, Patriah, Ryujin, attacked me, unprovoked. I am yet to commit a crime. I've admitted my faults, my sins. I'm not your God. But I'm still God, yet a humbling one. I came to you all, asked you for help. I did no ask for sacrifices, nor revenge. But only your aid. And I still only ask for that. And as of this moment, I pardon any whom attacked me. So please, stop this pointless fighting, and let us continue our quest. Simply ask yourself, what is the greater evil. The evil you have witnessed at the Rots hands, dead worlds, slaves, blood camps; or a God who has only raised his arms in defense?

Hyperion

Hyperion stood, glowing brighter. Should he be forced to intervene, he would.

"Why would you have to raise your arms against us, if you're right in what you're doing? If you know what you're doing is right, then why did you pound my boyfriend into the ground for wanting to go after his Master? And second, an actual God...an actual man doesn't shout for others to respect him. He earns it. So what's up with that?" Hamiri asked, folding her arms.

[Ranoria]

Hyperion stood, glowing brighter. Should he be forced to intervene, he would.

Ryujin blinked, having actually hurt his jaw with the force of his bite, draconic blood dribbling down his chin, and then snarled, turning slowly, "You're a fool to think I'll stop now. You attacked Patriah, and you may as well have declared war." He dove then, roaring, at the god once again.

[The Dystopian Isles of Frisct]

Mourir looked back at the battle briefly, then turned around once more. "I would suggest standing by until further notice.

Cyrek looked over at Tercan, his sword turning back into his left arm. "I don't really know much about what's going on currently, but it sounds like we have some big baddy named Rot to kill. Doesn't look like we'll get anywhere unless the dragon dude stops attacking that Raven guy. We could just stand around and wait for the next thing to happen, and because we just got here we shouldn't just jump to one person's side. We just have to stay neutral for now."

[Charlia]

Raven sighed, and snapped his fingers, Ryujin, phasing through him, biting into nothing. He then side-stepped the dragon, and snapped his fingers gain, a cloud of energy humming from his fingers. He looked up, dead-faced, and frowning, expressing his displeasure with the dragon.

"RYUJIN!" Amaterasu screamed. "You just got through dying of cancer, don't you dare do this to me again! Stand down so he'll take it away! Don't you dare die again!"

Rachel slammed the hilt of her glaive into the ground angrily.

"You're all wasting Time! And I don't say that lightly! Just get this idiocy over with already!"

Charlotte just stayed silent.

Every time she spoke, something seemed to go wrong. So she was going to be silent and try to help in that way.

[Syrixces]

Raven sighed, and snapped his fingers, Ryujin, phasing through him, biting into nothing. He then side-stepped the dragon, and snapped his fingers gain, a cloud of energy humming from his fingers. He looked up, dead-faced, and frowning, expressing his displeasure with the dragon.

Raven looked over at her quizzically, indicating to the events around them.

1. Because I'm not going to let myself be attacked? Wouldn't you defend yourself if you were unfairly attacked? 2. Your boyfriend, struck me first. /i will not tolerate a physical assault on my being, and neither would you. 3. How have I no earned your respect? I've put my life endlessly on the line, showed humility, and saved thousands of people? What the heck do you want from me?

Ryujin's snout hit dirt and sand, as his blows went through air, Raven, teleporting to the side.

Please stop. I really do not desire to hurt you, and as I have said, Patriah, assaulted me first.

Arael thought for a few moments, and he looked at Hamiri. "I am...not happy with what he has done...but we do need to destroy the Rot...So even if we disagree on what Raven is...we do need to try and end this, at least...then...we can focus on Raven..." He then walked over to Rosalie, who was still unconscious on the ground, and he picked her up. He stared sadly down at her, and he closed his eyes, letting the tears fall down his cheeks.

"...I simply...want all of this to be over..." he whispered.

Hamiri watched him sadly, wondering why he seemed so broken, all of a sudden. However, seeing his depression made her decide that maybe it was for the best that they ended it all. "...Fine. Let's move-on to Thanakron, then..." she sighed.

Lux watched both of them with concern, knowing Xavier would not change his mind and that Thanakron would easily hurt Charlotte more, but he did not speak. He merely continued to let Charlotte rest against him, since she was still too weak to stand on her own. However, watching Arael cry, he wondered what was aching him so much...

[Charlia]

In a twisted manner, something in Charlotte was amused.

'I will not tolerate a physical assault on my being, and neither would you.'

Hasty generalizations, Raven.

After all, we--

No! I banished them.


...what was that verse... if you banish spirits but don't fill the space they leave...


They'll come back worse than ever.

"RYUJIN!" Amaterasu screamed. "You just got through dying of cancer, don't you dare do this to me again! Stand down so he'll take it away! Don't you dare die again!"

Rachel slammed the hilt of her glaive into the ground angrily.

"You're all wasting Time! And I don't say that lightly! Just get this idiocy over with already!"

---

Charlotte just stayed silent.

Every time she spoke, something seemed to go wrong. So she was going to be silent and try to help in that way.

Arael thought for a few moments, and he looked at Hamiri. "I am...not happy with what he has done...but we do need to destroy the Rot...So even if we disagree on what Raven is...we do need to try and end this, at least...then...we can focus on Raven..." He then walked over to Rosalie, who was still unconscious on the ground, and he picked her up. He stared sadly down at her, and he closed his eyes, letting the tears fall down his cheeks.

"...I simply...want all of this to be over..." he whispered.

Hamiri watched him sadly, wondering why he seemed so broken, all of a sudden. However, seeing his depression made her decide that maybe it was for the best that they ended it all. "...Fine. Let's move-on to Thanakron, then..." she sighed.

Lux watched both of them with concern, knowing Xavier would not change his mind and that Thanakron would easily hurt Charlotte more, but he did not speak. He merely continued to let Charlotte rest against him, since she was still too weak to stand on her own. However, watching Arael cry, he wondered what was aching him so much...

Charlie sighed in obvious relief. She wanted a little more time to prepare before facing Tharizdun.


Charlotte, on the other hand, felt a tight knot of emotion forming within her.


Hatred. Sadness. Hope.

And absolute, all-consuming fear.

Raven looked over at her quizzically, indicating to the events around them.

1. Because I'm not going to let myself be attacked? Wouldn't you defend yourself if you were unfairly attacked? 2. Your boyfriend, struck me first. /i will not tolerate a physical assault on my being, and neither would you. 3. How have I no earned your respect? I've put my life endlessly on the line, showed humility, and saved thousands of people? What the heck do you want from me?



Ryujin's snout hit dirt and sand, as his blows went through air, Raven, teleporting to the side.

Please stop. I really do not desire to hurt you, and as I have said, Patriah, assaulted me first.

In a twisted manner, something in Charlotte was amused.

'I will not tolerate a physical assault on my being, and neither would you.'

Hasty generalizations, Raven.

After all, we--

No! I banished them.

Plink...

Plink...

Plin...

Rosalie slowly awakened, as she felt something cold fall on her face. She looked up, her blue eyes tired and confused, and she saw Arael looking down at her, crying silently. He had found her, after Adam had possessed her, and now he looked...lost...

"Arael? What's the matter?" she asked him, kindly.

Her fellow Angel smiled weakly down at her, after a moment of silence. "...Rosalie...We were doomed from the start..." he whispered.

"Huh?...What are you saying?" she asked.

He looked from her up at the sky. "...I want to go back there...Back where we came from, Rosie...Do you remember?" he asked her.

She shook her head. She had no idea what he was talking about.

"...It is okay...I do remember, however...And...when this is all over, Rosie...I want to go back there...but I am afraid...that I will not meet my end there...Like I said. We were doomed from the start..." he whispered, as the tears fell down.

He would follow Raven, but he promised himself one thing: he would never let him see his heart. He would hide himself from him. His heart was his last fortress, his last stronghold, the one thing that he kept guarded no matter what, except for the few people he deemed worthy to know what he held hidden. He would never bow and worship this god. He would never pray to him. If he died, at some point, he would make sure to keep himself to himself, all the way until the end.

It was the only idea that kept him from breaking inside, right at that moment. Right there, as he was holding Rosalie, his beloved little sister.

"Why would you have to raise your arms against us, if you're right in what you're doing? If you know what you're doing is right, then why did you pound my boyfriend into the ground for wanting to go after his Master? And second, an actual God...an actual man doesn't shout for others to respect him. He earns it. So what's up with that?" Hamiri asked, folding her arms.

Raven looked over at her quizzically, indicating to the events around them.

1. Because I'm not going to let myself be attacked? Wouldn't you defend yourself if you were unfairly attacked? 2. Your boyfriend, struck me first. /i will not tolerate a physical assault on my being, and neither would you. 3. How have I no earned your respect? I've put my life endlessly on the line, showed humility, and saved thousands of people? What the heck do you want from me?

Ryujin blinked, having actually hurt his jaw with the force of his bite, draconic blood dribbling down his chin, and then snarled, turning slowly, "You're a fool to think I'll stop now. You attacked Patriah, and you may as well have declared war." He dove then, roaring, at the god once again.

Ryujin's snout hit dirt and sand, as his blows went through air, Raven, teleporting to the side.

Please stop. I really do not desire to hurt you, and as I have said, Patriah, assaulted me first.

"What people have you saved? We've done most of the saving. And most of the dying, if you remember what happened with Mars. What humility have you shown? You literally pounded an angel and his friend into the dirt and demanded they respected you. That's not the words of a god, that's the words of a spoiled little boy on the playground. So yeah," she answered, walking toward him while still holding her sword. "I'll work with you, but only because I have to. Now where do we go from here?" she questioned, sharply.
