"If you insects are so eager to die then I shall grant your wish...It was bad enough when you humans sealed me away, however I will not repeat that same mistake again..." The voice of Cardes spoke as a mass began to form ahead further along the platform they were standing on.

The two Heroes drew their blades, it was him...The God Of Malevolence...It was their duty to eliminate the gods, and their adventure finnaly led them to this point. Then the black mass took shape, the God himself has appeared



"I am Cardes the Malevolent...You humans and mortals have been a blight to the world, and it is time to wipe more of you out... He spoke before Eying both Kira and Rosa. "Useless...The both of you...I know your name Kira, the one who served the Gods but was thrown away...And that half breed 'angel'...If you are here that means one thing, you have thrown your life away...You dare betray the Gods?...Your death will be merciless..."

Kira narrowed his eyes as he drew his axe and sword. "I am going to prove that not even the Gods can stand up to my power! I'll wipe that arrogance right off your face, and then I'll finish the rest of you myself!" He roared as he grew his wings going at his full power.

Herobrine began laughing, "you think you're so all powerful, well guess what, I've been draining your power from the start, it won't be to long until you're empty, I'm gonna wipe the floor with you." Herobrine said with a demonic grin as his right arm morphed into a large blade.

"Burst core online" BT announced.
"Hell yeah we're going to beat you so hard you'll be hit into next century, ugh I guess." Jason said with some confidence but he quickly remembered that they were fighting a god.

Rosa stood back from everything to try not to get in the way of things.

Herobrine's right arm began to absorb surrounding energy and begin to glow red. The blade was filled with huge amounts of power, his eyes soon had a dark red araura coming off of them, the rest of his body was soon covered in a black armour that is nearly impenetrable, but the only thing vulnerable was his head, because the armour didn't seem form on it for some reason.

"Annnd, you continue to call me a mortal, what, are you all shhhhhhtupid?! Ah hell with it, if you won't heed my words, then listen to this!" With that, crouching down before launching off with a burst, she sets her sights dead center on Cardes. Her strange winglike flaps spread full open, the ornate colors glowing brightly. Drawing back one of her large claws. Winding it up she swings dead on at his face.

Mal stares on for a moment at her dramatic initiative, and briefly cracks his head over towards Herobrine. "Uh, you do know he's not a demon, right? You sure that'll work right? Anywho... no time for that. Heh. Y' l' uln mgleth yaah, uh'enyth cahf lllln'gha r'luhhor, Y' ah Mal'kdet! Y' ah Mal'kdet!" For the first time he starts to show his power, the glowing orbs beginning to emit a multicolored haze around him, the exact nature of his power being hard to determine, not because of just its chaotic nature, but it was like several presences overlapping one another! His robes spin around, the jingle of bells filling the air, the green orbs forming a circle behind him, arcane symbols imprinted in the air, like some kind of summoning rite. Suddenly, the fabric of reality bulges and warps about, distorting the air like a heat haze behind him, before shattering like glass behind him, fragments like shards from a mirror float around him, and, what burst forth were a set of massive dark arms on each side of him, each hand inhuman, possessing only three fingers each, and in the palms were eyes, black sclera with glowing orange irises, twitching around looking at everything. "Say hello to... me, oh how bizarre it is to summon myself! Haha! Feels like... I guess a headrush coupled with being pulled inside out? Oof! Anyways."

With that, Mal slaps his massive hands together with a force that causes the very air to tremble, and opening them back up, an amorphous green energy stretches out like a thick viscous fluid before snapping loose, exploding into a swarm of small glowing orbs with a muffled sound, akin to a heavy man plunging into a pool. The orbs zip around each other and circle around his arms and body, having a life of their own. "Get em, fellas!" Suddenly groups of the strange orbs bundle together and begin zipping, making a shrieking sound as they fly at an extremely fast pace, leaving behind streaks of light, headed straight for Cardes, being sure to swerve around Laadan.

The toons broke out from their circle when Cardes materialised. Instead of the colossus they expected, Cardes took the form of a muscular human with albino hair, wearing nothing but plate leggings. Arcane runes of unidentifiable power were etched on his bare body, emitting energy the likes they've never seen before. His eyes were golden all the way through.
"Is this the form you're choosing?" said John, utterly nonplussed, aiming his shotgun. "This won't take long..." It was at this point when he heard the chanting. He turn around quickly, his survival reflexes labelling the chant as one that summoned an old god, towards Mal'kdet. The sight that followed didn't fully register in John's fragmented mind as it was too eldritch even for him. What registered, though, was that there were now colossal shadow-like arms beside him with black-and-orange eyes implanted in each palm.
"Oh no," said Fancy in a blank tone.
"What is it?"
"He's gonna try and suck Cardes dry."
John turned to Fancy, a look of horror mixed with terrible interest plastered on his bony face. "I beg your pardon?"
"Oh, I didn't tell you what his plan was. He was gonna absorb all of the Gaian Gods' power to make himself stronger."
The skeleton nodded. "Right, that makes sense." He turned back to Mal. "Then he's gonna kill us."
"Chances are high on that," said Max.
"Right, then Adam and Max are gonna deal with Cardes, Fancy and Jack, you check on Mal. I'm gonna stay here and worry like hell." This entire plan was shared in a battle strategist's tone, calm and logical.

Cardes looked over at Herobrine as he was 'absorbing' his strength...however there was one little problem with that. He was no demon. He was a God, a divine being. He was absorbing Kira's strength, and he himself turned to look at Herobrine with a growl. "You drain more of my strength...I'll kill you myself!" He yelled.

For Laadan, she managed to get Cardes's attention in full. Along with Mal's attack. He raised his fist and slammed it forward colliding with Laadan's attack. As for the orbs flying for him, a ripple around him formed as dark orbs formed in the air around him to crash into the orbs sent by Mal.

"Fools...I am a God. You wont beat me, those humans that sealed me away could only seal me away but they could not kill me...I will end you all...So heel beast..." He spoke as he looked impassively at Laadan.

"Don't underestimate humanity! Or anyone for that matter! Take this! Flare Ride!" Vargas suddenly roared as he slammed into Cardes from the air. Selena followed with his attack and swung her sword into his side. The damage was expected, not much...But it still affected him.

"Kira, did you even listen to what I said, I said I was draining his power not yours, do you need a hearing aid cause you deaf, and I can absorb all types of energy, but I can only certain types, I'm not taking your power cardes, I'm getting rid of it, and Kira, if you don't shut your trap I will crack your skull in half." Herobrine yelled in anger.

Herobrine dashed forward and punched cardes in the gut and followed with an uppercut the a slash at the throat then Herobrine kicked him in the neck.

"Target locked" Jason said as BT launched missile from the rocket launcher on his shoulder. It didn't do much but it stunned cardes.

Herobrine took the opportunity to charge up his fist with energy and then punched cardes right in the skull which would cause severe brain trauma but most likely death if it were something mortal.

"Burst core activate" BT announced as a powerful focused beam of energy came out of his gun that struck cardes in the chest.

Mal buckles over laughing at Cardes, despite his attack had been canceled. For a moment he stops, faking to wipe away a tear.

"Well, good thing I'm no human then!" He responds in a very frivolous manner, posing with one hand on his chin. The two massive hands points at Cardes, and Mal'kdet begins to laugh again, shaking his head with a shrug. "Plus, heh, I'm not the one still wearing a mortal's form. Pathetic, don't you think? Hating humans, while still fixated to the visage of one? Honestly, if you are so much greater than them, then why not liberate yourself from such a constricting form? Heheh... anyways..."

With his mockery finished, Mal'Kdet charges another attack, waving his hand outwards at the ground, rifts gashing open within space as black masses form up from the ground. These masses take on the shape of eyeless eel-like creatures, gaping mouths snapping, the depths of their maws are simply purple endless pits. They make breathy sounds as they swim around in the air before lunging out towards Cardes.

Laadan who bumped fists with Cardes was flung backwards by the recoil, catching her footing on the platform down on all fours before falling to her knees. She looked down at her hand, which had a glowing spot and steam emitting off of it. "Need... matter," she mutters, looking around. The only obvious choices around were the platforms, and comrades, both choices of which were unfavorable, even to an Id like her. She places her hands on her cheeks, pouting somewhat before slamming her other two fists down in frustration. "Agh! Stupid void, having nothin'! Stupid, stupid!"

"What, nothing to eat, haha, really should have ate before you came here," Mal says tauntingly, only to back up slightly as Laadan gets up in his face. "Um... personal space, lady."

"I would have but," she begins, before glancing off, holding up one of her lower arms and waving her finger, brushing aside one of her antennae. Her tone became far more intelligent for a moment, and soft instead of booming. "Well, it doesn't work quite like that, see, it has to be matter that exists currently within this plane of existence. And it isn't really eating as much as displacing it within that plane of existence, and in turn increasing spacial priority, thus in turn increasing my own absolute existence."

"I... I see, well, consider me corrected then," Mal'kdet responds, taking a few steps away to focus back on Cardes.

"That's our cue, Max," called Adam as Herobrine let loose hell on the human avatar. After he lets loose his punch on Carde's skull, Adam would dash towards the momentarily stunned god and perform an upward-diagonal slash at his torso. As he didn't bother putting a shirt on, if this hit, Cardes would most likely get a big wound on his rune-etched body.
The skeleton would immediately leap sideways, making way for the brute who was now accelerating towards the god. With a yell of pure adrenalin, Max would initiate an uppercut right under the chin, likely launching Cardes into the air. With hulk-like strength, he would then leap towards the now flying avatar and slam him into the platform, forming a crater on impact.
Meanwhile, Fancy and Jack were pushed aside as Laadan confronted Mal'kdet. Apparently she needs matter to function - or rather, John thought as he watched, to exist in the corporal realm - so was likely to feed on Mal. "Oh, this truly is enlightening to watch," exclaimed John excitedly. "Never before have I encountered a being that feeds on matter itself! I should take notes," he added to himself, reaching into his jacket pocket, producing a grubby notebook and pen.
The recovering Few glared at the skeleton, feverishly scribbling in his book. It was probably more exciting to him that he could continue his research rather than the fact that they were facing a god and, potentially, a power-syphoning jester. So far, the demon hadn't got a drop of the God's power yet, but when he does, they won't be found wanting for the resulting conflict.

Kira growled at Herobrine as he joined the fight. "Threaten me again and I'll break your spine!" He yelled as he joined with the Others. After Herobrine and BT unleashed their attack on him, soon enough Adam cut the God with his sword which did inflict a nice injury on Cardes before Max uppercutted him into the air and into the ground forming a crater.

As Cardes was beaten by this assault of attacks Mal's attack would still go for him. However, Cardes easily recovered from the assault and stood back up. "Fools...Humans are the ones who stole our form...and you think you can drain my power?...Fool you can do that for hundreds of years and not affect me. However..." The God would put his two arms together as he channeled his magic into his hands creating a massive ball of energy in between his hands.

A foreign light began to shine over his body as his wounds began to slowly heal back up. "It seems that you worms are posing a threat now...I'll destroy you all then..." Cardes soon launched the massive sphere of energy forward directed at the whole group.

"Take care everyone! If that attack misses no doubt the explosive force will take out our platform we stand on and put us in dangerious locations around this area!" Selena warned as she began to form magical ice around her to get ready for a counter attack as the massive ball of destructive energy was going for them.

Vargas of course backed up a bit, this platform did not give them the best of room to manuver around.

The ball of energy cardes created soon disappeared, as Herobrine held out his hand which had a small ball of focused energy in it, "like I said, I absorb energy, you should have thought about that before you used an energy based attack" Herobrine said as he quickly launched the ball at cardes, then Herobrine shielded himself from the blast while the ball of was about to explode. "Protocol three, protect the pilot" BT said as he ejected Jason and threw him away from the blast. Rosa was far enough away to not feel the effects of the blast but she still took cover.

"Hey, good idea, make him angry! And while he's pounding you to paste, we get him!" Mal says with a laugh to Herobrine, slamming his fist into his palm... which the large hands do as well. Then, without turning, he points finger guns at Cardes, and wiggles his thumbs like triggers, the large hands beginning to fire beams of the weird energy at him, the impact of which being less like a burning laser, and more like a kinetic blast equivalent to bullet trains at full speed in force, the impact zones causing ripples through space. "And stole your form? Hahahaha, really? Really now? That's a good one! But seriously, why is a god an overly glorified sack of meat in this universe, yet not willing to admit to being an one? Issues..."

Laadan on the other hand was still hunting for something to gobble down to increase power. She had taken to getting down on all six and gnawing at fragments of Selena's magical ice that broke off from the explosion, her form growing little by little each time. Apparently any matter would suffice, even that which was magically summoned. "Not enough," she mutters.

The Chosen Few who were dealing with the god stared in horror at the massive ball of energy coming at them, ready to jump to the next platform. They were a bit pissed that Cardes simply erased whatever damage they'd done. Max would turn to John, who was still scribbling in his notebook. "John! Get your skull outta that book, we need to get off this thing!"
The skeleton would only turn his head. "Pardon?" he said in an infuriatingly calm tone.
"Get off the damn-" Max became aware that the platform hadn't become a storm of debris. He turned back and watched in shock as Herobrine absorbed the ball of energy and chuck it back at Cardes. "Well, ---- me," he muttered, successfully pronouncing dashes as the explosion nearly blew his cap off.
The sight also woke John from his observer daze, putting away his notebook and pen whilst muttering, before getting out his gun. "Is his body really that hard to pierce? I expected more from you."
"B-but, he just regenerated!" Adam stuttered, more horrified at the concept of having to fight a god that can brush off a flesh wound than anything.
"Well don't stand there like a twit, Adam. Chop his head off."
The skeleton warrior would look at his sword as if he had forgotten he had it, turn to the god and begin to run towards him. The explosion was likely to stun Cardes for some time, so he hopefully had a few seconds. He would leap at the god and aim for the neck, using the momentum to boost his swipe.

With the massive explosion hitting Cardes, Kira, Vargas and Selena dug into the ground with their feet and braced for impact. Of course the God remained standing but he appeared injured at least. He even let out a grunt of irritation before his body was impacted by the beams that burned and impacted him like a train.

Of course while that was going on, Selena noticed Laadan eating her ice and growing bigger and put the pieces together. She was growing in power no doubt by just...eating. With the frozen particles around her she began to form more magical ice and tossed them to Laadan. Support was more of her specialty.

For Kira and Vargas, they both charged forward as Mal was covering their advance. They soon both leapt into the air prepared to strike to God and help finish it off...if only it were that easy. While Cardes was dazed he was forced to reveal more of his power. His form was suddenly surrounded by a dark power which created a barrier of dark force which surrounded his whole form which defended against the assault.

"So it seems...I find it despicable that I have to use more of my power to crush you worms...But you leave me no choice..." Cardes spoke as he was reaching his next form it seemed.

After the blast BT was left completely destroyed, Jason quickly picked up a fragment of BT, Jason then quickly backed away from the battle. "Thanks, BT needed an upgrade for anyways" Jason said happily as a new Titan landed behind him, he then inserted BT core into the new Titan. "BT-7274 online." The Titan spoke as its cockpit opened. Jason quickly entered the Titan and activated the missile launchers.

"When will you learn Cardes, I'll take all of your power if I need to." Herobrine said with a demonic laugh.

With the force of the blast, Mal'Kdet's arms crossed before him, bracing him from the force of it, and he just stood there, nonchalant as ever.

Glancing over at Jason, he tilts his head as he calls in another mech to replace the one that had been utterly destroyed by Cardes. He then looks up into the air, then scratches his head.

"Wait, how did you... how did you just summon that into a sealed dimension?" he asks, pointing up from where the Titan came from. "What, do you carry a subspace with you as well... are you an Outsider?" He stares down Jason for a moment, one of the large hands rubbing his chin, then he cracks out in laughter. "Hahahah, nah! Obviously a human!"

He then looks over at Cardes, who now was... charging up? Then he hears another boast from Herobrine.

"Seriously mac, what's with the weird laughter? I mean, I laugh a lot too, but... eh... I like to think mine is more... hee-hee, I'm an extradimensional monster that can't take anything seriously! Yours is more like... MWAHAHAHA! I JOY IN YOUR TORMENT!" he says, going from a whimsical voice to a deep and warped voice rather abruptly. Then looks back at Cardes. "But seriously... I don't think this draining thing is really working out in the way you think it is. You can't just get rid of power like this, it has to go somewhere, can't go nowhere. Either way, I've got dibs on this guy's essence, remember that."

Laadan sees the chunks before her being offered by Selena and then gave her a grin and thumbs up. "This'll work, thanks!" she exclaims, before gulping the ice chunks down, like she were some long tongued dinosaur companion to a certain Italian plumber. the increase was apparent, her runes sparking to life in a brillian shine of blue, coursing across her like veins filled with light. It wasn't just her size increasing, but less immediate, her wings became longer, more colorful, flowing, glowing blue and purple, flaring open like butterfly wings, the horns of her bone "mask" becoming longer and more curled. Whats more, the gooey and drippy quality of her body instead becomes more cohesive, giving her translucent body and overall more solid look to it, her tail tip flaring out into a broad tip like a stereotypical demon's, or dragon's tail.

Adam would swing his sword at neck-level at Cardes, but something happened in the next few seconds that required the group to mentally recap. Firstly, a dark aura materialised around the god, a sort of dark red, when the blade was about a foot away from his neck. When the sword came in contact, Adam was suddenly static in the air, vibrating as if he had hit a large gong. John, who also had the survival instincts of the Chosen Few, flung himself on the floor before the increasing kinetic energy flung Adam back, his sword spinning away into the void. Max would catch the falling skeleton, whilst the rest watched in horrified fascination as Hope sliced through the particles in the void, making a high-pitched, metallic wail as it plummeted.
"My sword!" Adam scrambled to the edge of the platform, peering over. "I was 29 demons away from a cosmetic upgrade! Damn it!"
"Stuff your sword, how the hell are we gonna break through that shield?" Max would point at Cardes.
"Yeah, but it's my sword!"
"It'll come back, you bet on it," said John. "If Hope can't penetrate that shield, I'd like to see how our friends deal with it. Maybe they have something we don't."
"Yeah, magic," said Fancy.

Vargas backed away quickly guessing what was gonna happen next. He impaled his sword in front of him and braced for what was coming next. Selena, quickly ran behind Vargas and did the same. Although she was there to make sure Vargas did not charge off too quickly. Still...after watching Laadan eat her ice and grew in size...that was something.

And with the arrival of another giant machine, Selena guessed that one of them really liked their technology. But right now, they had to focus on the figure in front of them. "So it's come down to this?...I grow tired of you mortals and creatures!...I will destroy you all then I will destroy the world..." Cardes spoke as the aura around himself began to grow larger until it was a few stories tall.

Afterwards the aura defending Cardes suddenly exploded outwards sending a wave of force until...He was made visible again...




Cardes seemed to have achieved a new form, was it his true form? Was it just a new form to contain his power? Whatever the case was his power grew exponentially. "Lets start with the so called 'demon' first...I grow irritated at your boasting...You will know true power....Deadly end..." A Sphere suddenly surrounded Herobrine, one with far more power than anything they all had seen before. Shattering it would be the only way to break free from the prison...however massive dark swords formed in the air around Herobrine. He planned to turn him into a pincushion!

Vargas immediantly set himself on fire to power himself up amps he charged forward and slammed his sword into the Sphere. Selena of course hurried up. Cardes after dealing with Herobrine and distracting the two so called heroes turned to face the remaining members. "You will all meet your end here..."

Herobrine morphed his right arm to be covered in a very strong black armour, he then began to focus all of his power into the fist, when his fist had all of his energy in it he then punched the sphere dealing massive damage to it but it didn't crack, he kept on trying until the swords impaled his body, he let out a grunt then hung there motionless, but his eyes began to glow red as the barrier broke and the ground started to crack open in several places, these cracks had an extreme amount of demonic energy flowing through them, the energy was soon absorbed by Herobrine, then his wounds began to quickly heal. "There's no point in trying to kill me, I'll just keep coming back again and again." Herobrine said with a demonic voice as the ground began to shake and move. Herobrine began to laugh demonically as he morphed into a demon like creature that was larger than cardes. The demon like creature roared as a beam of focused demonic energy shot from It's mouth, striking cardes and doing extreme amounts of damage.

"What, are you infinitely powerful now? The same person I saved from death mere moments ago?" Mal says to Herobrine, his tone far less amused than usual as he sends another serpentine blast at Cardes. "You're so... confusingly inconsistent. I thought I'd root for the underdog, but you are not the underdog..? Seriously, this joke is getting out of hand. Who's the real underdog?!"

Laadan had grown around 6x her original size, now towering over the others. Her purple hands glowing with a soft bluish glow, her wings radiant and ornate like a butterfly's. She gets down on all fours, raising her head up, and with a booming roar, announces herself ready to attack. As the explosions cleared, she squats down and lunges again at Cardes, the very force shaking the platforms as she brings in her fist aimed straight at the god, space fluctuating around her, tongue waggling in the breeze.

"If the only thing you can express is empty rage and malice, then you are even more base than I am!" she yells at Cardes, her eyes ablaze with light. Inches from the god, she swings both her large hands together like a clap, letting out a thunderous blast of raw force through the air in his direction, before drawing back and swinging forward, compounding the force and directing it straight to him. "So, it is your turn to heel... BEAST!"

The Few cringed at the new sight before them. Gone was the rune-edged albino, replaced by a hideous creature whose face - alright, the one on top of the thing - was a skull with red eyes. Now we're talking, went the strange thoughts of Jonathan.
"Adam, you should've left the beheading later," called John. "You could have stabbed him in the fa- in the skull."
"Right," said Max, stepping forward and brandishing his bionic arm. "Step back guys, I'm gonna try somethin'. I rarely get to check out all the features on this arm, but I think there's a mega-beam on this bad boy."
"Is there nothing you cannot do with that arm, Max?" asked John in an airy, mocking tone.
"Well, travelling through time's one of 'em." The palm of the metal hand opens up, revealing a circular oculus that begins to glow blue, humming like a plane engine coming from far away. "Stand back guys," Max repeated. "From what I remember, the beam gets pretty big and deadly. Oh shit," he added as Laadan got real close to the god and let loose a clap of gigantic proportions. Despite his rather hunched vocabulary, the term "collateral damage" was worming it's way through his thick skull.
By now the glow was now incandescent. He always had to choose the right moment to unleash the building energy of the cannon; go too early, and it could barely make a dent, too late and he could become geography. Now he was facing the conundrum of either waiting for the alien to get out and the way and risk an earth-shattering kaboom, or unleash it now and potentially destroy both Laadan and Cardes.
Favouring survival over empathy, he fired his cannon, hoping to whoever god was listening that Laadan would get out of the way in time. The beam spanned in a diameter of ten feet and glowed a nuclear green.

As both Vargas and Selena watched as the swords skewered Herobrine in the Sphere, they both winced a bit until suddenly he got back up and transformed into a massive beast. Well he was fine, it was time to focus on the God now.

With Herobrine's beam, a sort of barrier appeared around Cardes as it absorbed the blow. Of course his attention immediantly shifted to Laadan as a blast of force impacted him and caused him to slide backwards. "Me? Heel?...I will make you grovel and kill you like the creature you are..." He spoke as he raised his hand to block the blow, however he was being pushed back. The God narrowed his eyes at Laadan as he a God was being pushed back.

Of course Kira wanted to get a few hits in as well. "Take this!" He yelled as he swooped from the skies...or well the void above along with a bunch of magical swords. Of course the barrier swatted the magical blades but he himself was unhindered and slashed at Cardes with both blades forming two massive cut allowing Laadan's attack to have even more effect with him weakened.

Of course the two heroes would have joined it if it was not for the massive beam heading straight for the God. Instead the two began to focus their energies to go in with an ultimate attack in case he still stood. But it looked like they could do this!

Herobrine noticed that his attacks weren't doing much against cardes, Herobrine morphed back into his normal form, Herobrine's right arm glowed with energy as armour began to form on it, when his arm was fully covered Herobrine quickly leaped at cardes and landed a punch on the shield which resulted in breaking it the shield, then spikes formed on his fist while it hit cardes in the large cuts that Kira made.

"Burst core activated" BT said as a new beam of energy shot from his gun, the beam struck cardes, it wouldn't do much damage but it was more of a distraction.

"My, my, make me grovel and kill me? Is that your best retort?" Laadan grinned as she noticed that twinge of disbelief, her eyes narrowing as well, gleaming with light. She would have followed up, had it not been for a surge of energy headed straight for them! With a split change of plans she presses down against Cardes and flips herself behind him, favoring instead to kick him forwards into the blast to use his body as a shield, as well as leave him more open to the full effect. "Eat gamma, Freakenstein!"

"Uh, eheh?" Mal mutters, one of his large hands sheepishly pointing at Herobrine who had also launched himself in front of Cardes.

"You're a reckless man, Maxwell," said John. "I respect that. It takes balls - sorry, cubes - for a man to risk the death of his comrades when fighting his enemy."
Max would look back at him with a withering look. No one except Jonathan calls him Maxwell, which is a bit of a mouthful when referring to a cuboid who can lift hillocks. The beam would eventually thin out, the whirring noise from the arm slowing down to a halt.
As soon as it started to thin, the Chosen Few chose to let loose hell on the god. Fancy would leap on top of the god and start repeatedly stabbing at it's red eyes with his pencil. Max would go for a cyber-arm hook on Cardes' left arm at the elbow, potentially dislocating it. Jack would momentarily be behind his comrades with an expression of intense cerebration before reaching into his backpack and pulling out a cream pie. With a moment's thought, he would also get out a stick of dynamite and stick it into the pie. He then gets out a match, ignites it with the soles of his shoe, and lights the fuse. Satisfied, he would run up to Cardes and fling it at his face. Fancy, in response, would backwards somersault from the head just as the pie hits Cardes, the dynamite detonating in the precise moment it reaches it's destination.
John would sprint to his brother, who was still looking over the edge of the platform. "Can't you summon it back, then?"
"Dunno, John. How far d'you think it fell?"
The smarter brother calculated the depth of the void. "Pretty far, I'd think."
Adam nodded, then, for the sake of trying, held out his hand as if to retrieve his vacant sword through telekinesis. There was no sign of an effect, no rumbling sound of the air being manipulated, no glint of the sword. Then they became aware of a sound above them, like a multitude of particles being sliced in half. Just as John turned around, the sword embedded itself into the stone of the platform with a thunk. He looked up with a look of confusion as his brother re-enacted the preluding event before the crowning of King Arthur. As he pulled the sword from the platform, it hummed with a white light.
With newly-found vigour, Adam rushed towards the malevolent god, leapt into the air and stabbed into the beast's chest. The glowing sword would burn into the wound with the fury only found in an enchanted piece of weaponry given semi-sentience.

With both Cardes and Herobrine taking the blast of the arm cannon, Cardes himself let out a grunt of pain as the beam smacked into him, enhanced by the force of being kicked into it. Once that was done the Chosen few began their assault upon him, his eye stabbed by the panic bleededing dark liquid, his left arm being dislocated from a hook, and a pie thrown in his face...before he had time to comment about a pie it would explode in his face causing him reel back a bit. Finally the enchanted sword impaled his chest causing him to grunt even louder.

"Enough!...I will not end up being killed by you worms...I shall destroy you all. Come to me now!..." Two sigils suddenly appeared on the ground and two humanoid forms suddenly appeared. Of course both Vargas and Selena knew what they were. "What?...That power...Its...summoning arts?..." Selena spoke in awe. In Grand Gaia there were people, especially the gods who possessed a great power known as summoning.

They can call upon the souls of dead heroes, even lesser gods to return to the land of the living. "Then we just beat whoever he summoned! Even if they are but lesser divinities!" Vargas roared.

With a blast of energy exploding outward from Cardes to push his foes back, another foreign light surrounded his form healing his wounds. The first of the two, a lesser Goddess known as Phee closed her hands together and cast a new barrier over Cardes which was restoring his strength in the process.
