adventures in Time And Relavent Dimensions In Space (Closed)

[The Floor Kippers]

Eris snapped her fingers and Erdin's toast split into toast soldiers that were then berated by a toast Sargent-major.

[Warhaven]

Erdin ate them all, and chugged his milk.

"Let's go." Erdin enthused, diving into Lily's coffee cup, and ending up back at Eris's palace, stuck inside a painting.

[The Floor Kippers]

Eris returned through Ordinatio's coffee and came up under the rug near the painting.

[Warhaven]

"So, what's first?" Erdin asked, grinning.

[The Floor Kippers]

"Whatever you want," Eris said, "We can do slow burning chaos or quick bursts."

[Warhaven]

"How about quick bursts." Erdin suggested.

He shifted Order.

"After all, you've gotten rather predictable on both fronts, but I'd rather your defeat came quickly, it'll sting less that way." He challenged, the shifted Chaos.

He'd gotten really, really good at shifting between Order and Chaos.

[The Floor Kippers]

"Oh," Eris said with a raised eyebrow, "The whelp thinks he's got what it takes then? Well, lets move this to the arena, if you will find that acceptable."

[Warhaven]

"But of course." Erdin said, snapping. Crystal encased them both, then retreated, leaving them in the Arena.

"Age before beauty." Erdin offered, grinning cheekily.

[The Floor Kippers]

"Arena. Activate!" Eris ordered and the floor of the arena began to break apart and float around erratically.
She whipped up a maelstrom of raw chaos and sent it flitting erratically through the arena.

[Warhaven]

Erdin brought his hands together, in deep meditation.

When Erdin opened his eyes, he was neither Order, nor Chaos. He was, Harmony. With one hand, he stopped the Chaos, and a wall of Pure Order at her, this though was a distraction, as Erdin began to fade in and out.

[The Floor Kippers]

Eris countered the order with a wall of chaos and looked around for Erdin said.

[Warhaven]

There he was, right in front of her in Harmony, shooting another wall of Order at her.

No! He was to her left too in Pure Order, shooting a second wall of Order at her!

NO! HE WAS TO HER RIGHT AS PURE CHAOS, RESTRAINING HER CHAOS WITH HIS OWN!

Erdin had very clearly learned a few new tricks on his own.

[The Floor Kippers]

Eris snapped her fingers and her form tore apart, revealing her raw, unrestrained chaotic energy form.
The floor of the arena hurled itself at Erdin.

[Warhaven]

Order and Chaos Erdin faded, leaving Harmony Erdin, floating in mid-air having avoided the Arena's attacks.

He fired a bolt of energy at Eris, half Order, Half Chaos, yet so perfectly harmonized, that neither Order nor Chaos could effect it.

Pachuco, Lily, Animus, and Paernatio all stood upright in wide-eyed shock, able to feel it from their various points in the Multi-verse. Even the Arch-Magi felt it, and were surprised.

[The Floor Kippers]

The bolt would hit and Eris would be stood in the arena gain, in her usual form looking surprised.

"Now that's an power I've not seen for a very, very long time," She said quietly to herself.

[Warhaven]

Erdin was crackling with more of the energy, and fired off several more bolts of Harmony at her.

[The Floor Kippers]

There was little more Eris could do now but dodge while she thought of what she could do next.

With a smile she clicked her fingers and the arena began to fill with duplicates of herself.

[Warhaven]

Unfortunatly, this was beyond Erdin's present skill with Harmonized energy. This did not however, stop him from trying, as he kept sending out shot after shot, wearing himself out.

[The Floor Kippers]

Each Eris he shot would be replaced by two more.

"You'll never find the real one unless you think about it," They all said together, yet still not in unison.

[Warhaven]

Erdin settled down.

"Master Paernatio teaches, the calm mind in the turbulent storm finds the way." He said, mostly to himself, but loud enough everyone could hear him.

He concentrated his mind, calming his thoughts, regulating his breathing.

By now, Paernatio, Pachuco, Lily, and Animus had all made it to the stands, and all were surprised to see the air around Erdin begin to shimmer as the underlying foundations of Harmony, the Multi-verse itself not the concept, began to manifest in its place.

"I see you Grandmother." Erdin said, firing what appeared to be pure Chaos at Eris. But that was a trap. In its core was specialized Order, that would turn her to stone temporarily.

[The Floor Kippers]

"What the f-" Eris managed before she was hit and turned to stone.

"By the spirits," Tew gasped.

"My sentiments precisely," Ordinatio said.

[Warhaven]

"Father, would you like to get her back for all the jokes she's played on you over the years? Just think of the laughs to be had, if it was you that saved her from stone, instead of me." Erdin suggested, as Lily snapped a picture.

[The Floor Kippers]

A smile slid over Ordinatio's face, a smug smile, a smile that was eager to taste sweet revenge.

"Son," He said, approaching Erdin and the stone Eris.

"Son," He said again, removing his immaculate white gloves.
With a flick of his wrist a marker pen appeared in his hand by slight of hand.

"I think we should give her a moustache first," He finished.

[Warhaven]

"Do it." Erdin grinned.

[The Floor Kippers]

And so, with the marker, Ordinatio drew an elaborate twisty moustache, and also added angry eyebrows.

"Nobody tell her," Ordinatio grinned.
