"A little like provecti physiology. That explains the high blood pressure." he said as he administered local anesthetics and packed the wound with a chemical cauterizing agent. Even through the anesthetic, this stuff hurt, but it would stop the bleeding. He administered a course of broad spectrum antibiotics and covered the wound in iodine before bandaging it up. "He'll be out of action for a while. Is this his proper form or an avatar?" he asked. If this was his proper form, then it would explain the wound. "If there was ever a time we needed The Guardian..." Aganotorus shook his head. "We need to repair this place, and I need to ready the armies. My plans are only half finished and none of them have been laid."

[Vetega]

Immortal Realm

"The armies are already on high alert. I'll start repairs. " Kagura stated.

She walked away and things began to revert to their previous state around. Time had it's advantages. Vex nodded his head.

"This is his true form. Even he wasn't strong enough to stop Chaos on his own. He just lost it when Cantorde died." he replied.

He looked over and saw the others standing around Cantorde in a circle. Funeral preparations had already begun.

Nova

Izon glared at Nhur-Ghulladu as he sat and took an angry bite

"What do you want Nhur-Ghulladu? " he asked curtly.

Void

Chaos frowned. Entity was playing mind games again.

"Prove it. Show ne that you are my opposite. " he replied while crossing his arms.

"Um..." Alathas wasn't quite sure how much school she'd had the equivalent to. She started cataloging what she knew. "It's more like middle-school. I have a basic understanding of algebra, biology, chemistry, physics, and I know a lot of about history and psychology."

Helion
Etelli & Liikana

Aequinas looked at the scan her machine had made. Feline, or canine?, sapiens were new to her. She did her best to design a few sets of flattering clothing for the young lady. When she finished with her shower Liikana would find that the old elf had made her several sets of clothes for her and had a stack of dresses, suits (skirt and pant variety), coats, and various other forms of clothing for Etelli. "I hope these are to your liking." she said. "This is the first opportunity I've had to work with your kind. Out here, so close to the edge of the Empire, I'm afraid my business is limited to the Kreanolthans who still think of the Helion as their capital." Out in the shop Etelli had filled a cart up with things from the rack.

[Kreanoltha]

Immortal Realm

That explained Zerin's injuries and illustrated another reason why Aganotorus disliked using his true form. Avatars looked like whatever he wanted them too. They could loose an arm or an eye if he wanted them to. Hell, they could do that even if he didn't want them to. Avatars were easy to shape. "Good." he nodded to Kagura as she began to repair the realm. "I need to see them. Are they organic or machine?" He had also sent a second avatar to his own world to go over his plans to expand the army. He needed to add Tanas to the list of threats they could fight against and given how little they knew of Tanas' abilities it might now work so well.

[Vetega]

Vex looked to the city.
"Both. A combined mixture of all technologies with each of our prospective spheres of influence." he replied.

Imperial technology was present as well. Although, it wasn't state of the art. After the last war the gods had seen no reason to stockpile arms. Now the time had come.

[Kreanoltha]

Aganotorus nodded. "I have unfinished blueprints for more machines in my tower. They are only from my sphere, but if you incorporate their design with the current ones they should be an improvement if only because they use the latest technology including a great amount of lost Kreanolthan technology. If you access a time stream flowing fast enough to build them in we should have great reserves before Tanas tries to attack again. In the mean time I will acquaint myself with the current armies."

[Kreanoltha]

The New Kreanolthan Republic
Capital City, New Helion

The Grand Councilor Degultus looked at the latest surveillance from the occupied Intergalactic Republic of Kreanoltha. Things were getting worse. The illegitimate Emperor Tanas had gained great power. Beings of even greater, inexplicable power were battling in other universes. "The time has come Grand Councilor," said High Councilor Kinarius. They looked out from the windows of Templi Counsilii over the great expanse of New Helion. "So it may be High Councilor. However, we have only had a millenia to recover. We are far behind where we could be. Our surveillance methods are far from perfect. The Empire could have power we do not foresee. We need to wait a little longer. We can not risk the Empire finding us. Even if we maybe years away from the Empire by their technology, we can not trust time to protect us. We will wait a little longer."

[Vetega]

Vex watched as an airship flew towards the city to put out fires.
"That would help greatly. The armies we have ready are gathering in the Plains of Selestis as we speak." he replied.

Zerin began to stir from unconsciousness.
"Do not speak Zerin. You need rest. You won't be able to revert to your avatar form until your arm begins to grow back. " Vex stated.
Zerin became still. He sighed and went back to sleep. Vex touched his forehead and he disappeared, having been teleported to his place of solitude.

[Kreanoltha]

"Sleep well." Aganotorus said to Zerin before he was taken away. "The plans are complete insofar as they have plans for mobility, power, armor, weapons, and the designs that I created against Chaos utilizing my power. However, they are incomplete in that they lack designs against Tanas and the power of the rest of the gods. The blueprints also assume the use of adaptive AI that are capable of modifying the weapons and defenses should the enemy adapt to them. If you merge the existing blueprints then they will be quite formidable. Now, I must depart to Plains of Selestis."

[Vetega]

"Very well. I shall alert the others to the situation. " Vex said.

He walked towards the circle of gods. Cantorde's body was covered in a silk sheet. The blood still soaked through. Vex stepped into the middle next to her body.

"One us has fallen today in the heat of battle against an old foe. She will always be remembered throughout the Multiverse. Now, we return her essence to the Multiverse. We return Cantorde, Goddess of Wisdom. " he recited.

He stepped back as her body began to glow. Each of the gods within the circle began to glow as well. Suddenly, a white beam of pure energy erupted from the cloudy sky. Every immortal on the world would begin to glow now. The planet itself began to rumble. It was surrounded with a white light. Cantorde's body lifted from the ground as if the Multiverse itself was bringing her home. The light became blinding, then it went out. Cantorde's body was gone. Only, the sheet remained, free of all bloodstains.

[Hladgos]

Nebuchadnuzzar
"I think I could just look at the stuff you already know, and then add things into your current knowledge. You probably haven't learned anything from Crutiaolaggo's stray thoughts cause, well, he dosen't have any. And me, well... I dont simply think about basic education much..."
He began to assess relevant stuff to early and mid grade education, while picking out his own bits of information and some of his own ideas.
"So, can you open up your mind so I can see what you've got? You've already got a sheild over yourself that you dont really think about."

Etelli & Liikana
Liikana looked at the clothes, and wondered exactly how they were made. They looked beautiful to her, but she wondered if they would be comfertable.
"You know, I really do like simple stuff, but I also like it to look pretty good..."
She moved to a set of clothes, with a slightly tight shirt, which had a slight v-neck, though not much, and no sleeves. She envisioned herself in it, and suddenly wanted black. Black and red... Mid length pants, with nothing constricting her tail, and plenty of room to move, while her shirt would be about down to her mid stomach. Red lines down the side of the pants, and a red Z design on the short sleeves of the shirt. She wanted some kind of jacket though, to go over the shirt maybe, so that she could blend in with a crowd of more normally dressed people. She told her idea to Aequinas and looked a bit embarrased at the statement.
"Do you think it's too much?"

[Kreanoltha]

Aganotorus decided to stay for the ceremony. He remembered the rites from his time in the Lord Sire's army. He bowed his head and said a small pryer for her. As the crowd dispersed, he teleported this avatar to the Plains of Selestis. The second avatar finished editing the plans and took them to the artificers to merge them with the existing plans so that production could begin.

[Hladgos]

Void
"Do you really want me to show you I am your opposite? I can show you that I establish order through a more perfect means of planning. Do you even see what I desire? I want there to be control Chaos, but that is impossible without you. I use chaos to create control, while you simply use chaos. I am already a greater than you, since the way I function makes me master of both ideas. My final purpose is to establish complete order. Your final purpose is the opposite of mine. Do you see what must happen for that to become?"
Entity continued to think about ideas while he spoke, and he watched Chao's mind. An idea happened in the being, something related to the physical world.
"You think you are here, but you are not. Chaos, you think I can show you, but I cannot. This place simply is and isn't. You are, and aren't here. You think of folding your arms, but look. You will find nothing. What you will find is you cannot see, nor feel. That idea in your mind is not there, because you are not thinking. You dont exist Chaos, and neither do I. Not here, not anywhere. I understand that this may be confusing, but that is because I am wiser than you. Some things simply cannot be explained in the plane that you think on. This is one of several places that did not exist. I created it myself, by not creating it."
Entity laughed in his mind and simply fused into Chaos, permeating the nothingness that wasn't there.
"You are in one of my creations Chaos. I own the nothingness that is not here, which means I currently own you. Do not think Chaos, since you cant. You cannot even simply do, you do not by not being here, though you are."
Entity was pleased with his statements. He knew Chaos understood none of it, since he had never thought of this kind of reality before. Chaos was now being proven a lesser, at least his mind was less than Chaos, and here, nothing, was power.

[Kreanoltha]

Nebuchadnezzar

"Of course." Alathas said. She set her tea down and relaxed.

Helion
Etelli & Liikana

"Not at all." Aequinas said. Well, she did think that it could use being toned down a little. "Well, perhaps the 'Z's are a little much. How about just red double seams on the sleeves? And for the coat, would you like wool or leather? How warm would you like? What color? Also, could I interest you in some suits?"

[Vetega]

Chaos frowned. Or thought of frowning. Although he had gained knowledge from every corner of the Multiverse, he was powerless. It annoyed him greatly. To be proven obsolete by a being incredibly younger than him was uncomfortable.

"Your point is proven. This path of logic is impossible for me to understand at this moment. I will come to terms with it eventually. What I want to know is this. Why? Why do you converse with your enemy? Why do you throw out logic I currently cannot fathom? And what is your point of all this? This realm, this conversation, everything. " he replied


Immortal Realm
Plains of Selestis

Carthil, Protector of Peace, looked over the forming legions. They were all given orders to prepare by The Guardian, who had retreated to his castle for an unknown reason. He felt his presence before he arrived. He turned to see Aganotorus.
"Lord of Shadows, I am Carthil, Protector of Peace. I am but one of the 4 generals. This is the many legions we have. Some have yet to arrive due to the recovery efforts within the city. " he stated.

The assembled legions stretched to the horizon.

[Hladgos]

Nebuchadnuzzar
Nebuk simply permeated her mind suddenly, and began to quickly, yet delicately order all of the information Alathas knew into the groups he designated. As soon as that was over, he began to fill in the obvious blanks, while also describing them to her in an extremely quick and precise way.

Etelli & Liikana
"Well, I guess you do know a lot more than I do. I mean, I just sort of like the Z shape..."
Liikana traced the shape into the air with her finger and then looked back at Aeuquinas.
"Well, I'd like leather, and just enough for a cool day here. Probably... tan or something? And... I'll look at them."

[Kreanoltha]

Nebuchadnezzar

Alathas focused as the information was thrust into her mind. She realized that her mind was developing, but not enacting, a security protocol for this sort of intrusion all on its own. There was no reason for it. She'd not cast Nebuk as a threat, but some part of her brain seemed to think he was.

Helion
Etelli & Liikana

"How about," she pulled up the hologram of the shirt Liikana was talking about. She laid the seams out like she'd been talking about, and then placed a 'Z' below the neck seam. "How about that?" she said. "Also, here's the coat I was thinking of." It looked a little like Etelli's, but with only two slit in the part that hung past her waist, front and back, as opposed to the four that Etelli's had, up her legs. She matched the tan with the lightbrow fur on the back of her neck. "How does that look?"

[Kreanoltha]

Immortal Realm
Plains of Selestis

"Thank you General Carthil." he said. "Please, show me the different classes of machines and soldiers we have, and when they return, I will need to meet my other generals." Aganotorus retained his angelic form for the meeting. He kept his wings tucked high on his back, occasionally twitching his wings as he saw things that interested him, they seemed to be preludes to questioned about the functions of some machine or the strengths and weaknesses of a class.

The second avatar, this one taking the scholarly form with the cloak covered in blue runes and sigils, searched the realm for the artificers he needed to bring the plans to, but he had become thoroughly lost in the vastness of the realm.

[Vetega]

Carthil nodded.
"We have machines from every corner of the galaxy. The four legged walkers are from the Zectoran Empire before The Fall. We have reality altering weapons and interdimensional Matter Transporters. All the above. The other generals are currently helping with the recovery. Except for General Sceela. She's been in seclusion for 100,000 years. Marcus banished her after the war. She disappeared. " he replied.

[Balrogga]

Nova:


“Interesting…” Nhur-Galladu took another bite of his ice cream, enjoying the coolness of the treat before continuing. “I never said my name and I have not met you before. It seems my reputation precedes me.”

The Ta’Nar placed his spoon in the bowl and folded his hands in the space where the bowl had sat moments before. His old wrinkled and gnarled fingers interlaced as he leaned forward looking his reluctant host straight in his eyes. He sat like that for a couple seconds before speaking.

“Come out with it, why should I choose your side over Chaos and what are your plans. I need to know both aspects of the situation before making a decision that may place me on either side of the conflict, if I even decide to intervene. Hell, I might even consider creating something to oppose both of you if I do not like what I hear.”

The Ta’Nar continued to look Izon in the eye, something he was sure nobody else would even dare think of doing and survive.

[Kreanoltha]

Immortal Realm

Aganotorus' second avatar finally halted near another god. "Excuse me, where can I find the engineers who build the army's machines? I have plans blueprints need to get to them."

Plains of Selestis

As he surveyed the arsenal he saw a division of Ta'Nar War era heavy assault crafts. "This is most impressive, but I wonder what you would have to do to get banished by Marcus."

[Hladgos]

Void

Entity suddenly thought now. He was won. Chaos had been defeated. He knew nothing now, which was the only real way to fight him.
"I converse with you, Chaos, because I wish not to simply fight you. I wish to understand you, and to understand something that knows everything, you must first find what it does not understand. I put you here so you are trapped in a place which you cannot understand. The truth is, you are not trapped, because you do not exist. This conversation happens for a reason that you currently do not know. You are here because you are not meant to be, but because I brought you here. You are here to tell me... What is your purpose."

[Hladgos]

Nebuchadnuzzar

He was simply giving input to her brain, but apparently she didn't like it.
"Alathas, you're really strong, but in this case I'm going to have to ask for you to-"
At that moment, Nebuk seemed to brush a memory. He didn't know what it was, but Alathas suddenly was attacked in her own mind. He retreated as fast as he could, but noticed a small bit of altered mindset within himself. An attack, which was quickly subdued, but he felt the sudden need to defend himself.
"Alathas, your mind is trying to kill me, so I'm going to have to-"
Pain. All of it. He was hit with a pain he never had known before, and it wasn't his. It was hers. He had no choice. Shut down. His mind suddenly retreated back into the mainframe, and he activated the first emergency computer to take over the ship for him. He began to store himself, but realised, he wasn't simple programming any more. He needed something else to store himself in. The only thing he had at the moment was... Alathas... Fuck it.

Etelli & Liikana

Liikana looked at the hologram and admired it for a moment. She liked it.
"I love it! I want that one."
She wanted to see what Etelli would think of it, now that she had seen Etelli's set of clothing.

[Kreanoltha]

Nebuchadnezzar

Something was very wrong. A memory had flashed over her as Nebuk gave her his wisdom. It wasn't hers though. Someone, for a minute it looked like her father, strapped into a medical device. Long needles protruded from his body and a Marine Corp emblem, she couldn't read which division, on one of the screens. Then, something somewhere, started throbbing. It wasn't hers either, but it clearly wasn't Nebuk's. He tried to run. "Nebuk?!" she shouted. "What's going on? What happened?"

Helion
Etelli & Liikana

"Very good." Aequinas said. She wasn't exactly sure what the 'Z' meant, she couldn't read the Roman alphabet, only Kreanolthan, but if the customer liked it, then she would get it. "I'm glad you like the coat as well, "Now here are a few more ideas, including another coat for winter here, it gets quite cold. Go over them and let me know what you like, what you would like changed. I've taken a few liberties with the designs, going off what you responded positively to." Aequinas was very good at her job. Out in the shop, Etelli was still shopping, occasionally placing a few orders to Aequinas for a pair of boots or shoes or gloves.

[Hladgos]

Nebuchadnuzzar

The system began to run again, just like normal, but without the little quirks. Nebuk was trapped in Alathas' mind, and he didn't really want to move.
"Shit..."
He was trapped in an alert, and obviously dangerous subconcious, and he didn't know if she could hear, or feel him, or if she even knew where he was.
"Alathas? Can you here me?"
Suddenly he realised something. He wasn't attatched to the mainframe...

Etelli & Liikana

"Thanks. I'll just be waiting till you finish it."
Etelli was going to love it, she thought. Noone but her, and Lazsaiia knew what the Z was for. Her father, who died shortly after marrying mom. He mated once, and only once with the woman he loved, before he was killed by an assassin. Noone knew the reason, but Lazsaiia was devestated for decades. It took fifty years for Liikana to grow inside her mother, and when she was born, she gave new hope to her mom. Z. Zarokean. The man that Liikana loved dearly, but never knew. Hi dad...
