Renalanus Phorixx's Story

Misonii held her sphere in her hand and looked at the new black machines as she took a fighting stance. "Kee hee hee! None can best me! I'll destroy you this day evil robot!"

She flung the sphere at one of the specters, the sphere carrying enough power to destroy even the moon if it struck the core of that celestial body. Her Scouter also began reading out the capabilities and the conditions of each robot.

--

Misokai only cried out as she was struck by the shield, forced back with enough force that she destroyed the wall of the building she collided with. She picked herself up and wiped her mouth with her wrist guard as she spoke to herself. "Oof. That shield can't really hurt me, but that punch and force is unreal. I won't let it stop me though..."

Misokai stood and shouted an angry shout, no words needed beyond her scream. Then, she exclaimed, "Alright, playtime is over! I hope you like purple and blue, because you're going to model it for a long time! Yaaaaaah!"

She charged forward, rushing Renalus down with immense speed as she cloaked herself in energy, no longer wary of Ayannaxs nearby presence, even as her Scouter kept pointing the woman out.

Ayanna threw herself back as the woman hit the building she was watching from, before rushing forward to get a good look at her. When she noticed the scouter she stifled a laugh. "Oh and here I was thinking I was clever." she thought to herself before bracing as the building collapsed down beneath her. As she fell she dove forward and rolled away from the building, popping upright and keeping her eyes on the combatants. She then looked over and saw the pink one and the newcomers. "Ugh... Extradimensional beings, so nasty" She muttered.

Ayanna pulled her sword from it's sheathe, the hand and a half blade, long and iridiscent blue shone and rippled as light passed along it's length. She smiled twirled it about as though it was no heavier than a switch, carefully making her way off to another corner. She kept the blade out, just in case the combatants decided to have at her. 'From what I remember on the dossier, those "scouters" are used as a means of detecting living beings of significant power, and since I don't have a masking spell ready...' She grumbled in her head before kneeling do and raising her free hand in a strange gesture. "Hope they're busy enough to not notice me" She whispered before focusing on the spell.

The two black machines in the fore of the group looked towards the sphere as it was thrown before leaping to each other's side and shielding those behind them from the blast. "Awww, Legion dear, you've lost two of your little darlings." chuckled the feminine machine.

One of the other black spooks spoke in response, "Energy pattern analyzed, 10% probability of adapting to next attack." More of the black creatures shambled through the rift, opening fin like spines on their backs as their spears formed in their hands, ten in total.

"Well then brother, I'll leave the pink thing to you, while I redesign our eldest sibling into a scrap heap." Lilith said, fingers folding up safely within her forearms as she turned from Misonii and stopped towards the red machine, which seemed to have extricated itself from the cement wall and reaching for it's flattened staff.

It was then that the spears began to fly towards the Majin, each searing bolt of light could melt through tank armor and the had been known to vaporize unprotected humans, given their straight trajectories however they were not as deadly as they could be.

Renalus fell back to earth after his shield impacted Misokai. After watching the building that she crashed into, she soon reappeared and soon let out an angry shout. It was clear that she was getting irritated and after exclaiming that playtime was over he knew that she was going to now fight seriously now.

Once Misokai began to charge at him now cloaked with energy he knew what must be done, and so did the Librarian watching through his eyes. The librarian began to tap into the warp, and along his psychic might began to give power to his fellow battle. "I call upon the Might of Heroes to give our battle brother strength this day!" With those words Renalus soon felt a new energy in his body. For him the real battle was just beginning.

"No Fear! No Pity! NO REMORSE!" Renalus roared at the top his lungs and gripping his weapons tighter charged at Misokai with a new found power, his speed was much faster but for his strength she was going to find out. With shield and sword at the ready, Renalus met his opponent head on to deliver a shield bash, this one coming faster and with more power than the last one. Behind it was his sword, his strikes now much faster and with more power behind each swing.

Misonii cried in pain as she took the spears head on, their skewering leaving gaping holes in her form. She remained standing, but was clearly in shock. "Ahhg! That really hurts! Eugh! Urk! Uguu!" With an incredible amount of effort, she tightened her stance and focused. "That hurt! Now you'll be the one to hurt! Hahhhh!" She completely filled in each hole, her body regenerating to like new, as though nothing happened. "Kee hee hee! You can't keep me down! Nothing you do will last!"

She flew high into the air and cupped both of her hands together, creating a small pink sphere that had a black and grey core between them. "Unlike Misokai, I don't wait to play my games! I'll go all out!" She then raised her hands into the air as she flew higher, the sphere she charged beginning to massively increase in size, quickly reaching half-one mile tall and half-one mile wide. Somehow, it seemed like it was only continuing to grow further, a dim pink glow covering not just all the robots, but also the entire local area.

"Kee hee hee! Kee hee hee hee hee! I'm feeling impish! It's fun to watch dangerous robot implosions!"

--

Misokai found herself hesitating, stopping mid dash as her Scouter read off the massive capability increase Renalus just tapped into. "What the-!" The next thing she knew, a shield pushed into her with even more force, sending her careening through more building walls. She eventually came to rest on her back. Picking herself up again, she clutched her arm. "This is ridiculous... This was supposed to be warmup. How can a single Human be so strong?!"

It was at this moment that the dim pink glow caught her attention. "Oh, this is bad! Misonii! Do you copy? What the hell do you think you're doing?!" She then noticed the size of the sphere that continued to grow. "CALL IT OFF! CALL IT OFF! YOU'LL DESTROY TERRA IF YOU THROW THAT!"

Renalus would notice that Misokai was now distracted, if he himself was not also distracted by the large sphere of energy.

Ayanna finished her chanting and stood up. Energy now Poured from her body in waves and streams of light, shifting about in an endless dance. She raised her sword and pointed it at the Majinn, shouting at the top of her lungs "The Light of the Sun Outshines any other!" Before a blast of energy rushed towards the pink creature.

She then strode out into the open and proclaimed. "I was sent merely to watch you creatures, but you've shown to be beyond reason. Very well then, You now face a decision! Leave this world, or perish by my blade!" Her voice echoed across the district as she charged towards the space marine, her blade leaving a blazing trail behind her as it's tip dragged across the ground.

With a roar she would strike at him, attempting to cleave him in twain with the enchanted blade forged from a star's core.

The spear throwing intensified until Misokai's shout registered with the machines. The black mechanoids lifted off the ground with no visible manner of thrust before launching themselves towards Misonii, each forming a pair of javelins on approach, seeming intent on impaling her from all sides. That was until one was blasted through by the beam from Ayanna's blade.

Down below the feminine robot was sent careening sideways and tumbling down the cratered and ruined street. The red robot with a large, horned crest seemed to have recovered. "What is the fault in your programming Lilith, we were created to protect humanity, why did you turn your back on them?!" it shouted, it's voice more masculine than its opponent.

"Because they are weak Lucifer, we are superior to them," she rose back to her feet and rolled one of her shoulders. "And to the Darkwings, to all organic flesh, we are superior, and the weak," she tore up a large sidewalk paver with one hand," Must perish!" she roared as she hurled the projectile towards the red machine.

Renalus was prepared to follow up on his attack, his opponent clearly stunned by his sudden burst of power. As he began to close the distance he heard her as clear as day, an attack that would destroy Terra. Common sense would mean the planet he was standing on was called Terra, but more importantly he stopped himself before contacting his battle barge, unaware that someone else was attempting to stop the attack. ""This is Brother Renalanus to The Remembrance Of Truth! I want Orbital cannons targeting the strongest energy source you can detect immediately! I repeat the planets fate rests upon!---" He was then cut off by the sound of another persons voice, followed by the sound of something coming closer to him.

Renalus turned to look at the source of the voice, another woman armed with a sword was charging directly at him. The nerve of her to call him a creature, he did not take kindly to this insult. As she got close enough to swing her blade, Renalus dodged the attack with ease and attempted to thrust his sword into her. "You dare strike at me xeno filth! Then perish! He yelled at her as he began to thrust his sword, clear that he did not like the sight of a non-human, especially one that attempted to kill him.

Hearing Misokai, Misonii dissipated her sphere. "Oh! Sorry~! I'll be mo-ahh!" She was interrupted then by the beam and more spears, more holes being created in her body. Once again, she yelled out and filled in the holes with no visible damage. "Augh! They keep attacking!"

Misokai stood up and smiled, seeing Renalus turn to attack the new being. She was strong too. "Misonii... I said this was just warmup, but, do me a favor. Put on your amulet!"

Misonii descended a bit and started putting hers on. "Oh! Are you suggesting...?"

Misokai nodded. "Yes. I don't think even my Super Saiyan transformation will be enough here... The Human gained a massive power bonus, and that woman's toothpick can stop those robots you're fighting. Clearly the ones here are a match for us at the bare minimum, but I don't know how strong they can get. So it's time we ensured we come out on top."

She placed her own amulet on as well. "There, ready? We'll be stuck together until we return to Katt, so she can split the two apart again."

Misonii was happy. "I'm ready! Let's do it!"

Immediately, both of their bodies began mutating in a grotesque, otherworldly way, as though it were something out of Lovecraft's own mythos. Both mutating forms melted and pooled together before reforming themselves into one solid being. The new creation then solidified once more. The figure flew into the air and began striking all manner of poses while bouncing around like a pinball off of invisible walls.

"Kee hee hee! Everyone, please give a warm but loud welcome to the high flying, death defying, awe-inspiring act of fun and awesome known as Kinoha!" Her voice was now a balanced mixture of Misokai's aggressive youthful voice with Misonii's high pitched anime girl character voice, creating a dynamic, but pleasing combination of voices. Kinoha stood as tall as Misokai, but had the pink skin angry cute face of Misonii, though with Misokai's dark eyes. Her hair mixed in Misonii's tentacles, which were shaped into Misokai's trademark bowl haircut. Their amulets had combined, and Kinoha wore Misonii's white and pink long coat over Misokai's full grey and black Battle Armor. She also wore gloves and boots in the same style as Misonii, while also flaunting Misonii's black cape. Notably, the tail Misokai had was still present, as was the Scouter they both had.

She stopped bouncing around, and adopted a waiting post, showcasing impatience already. "Now, what game should we play first with everyone here? Duck-Duck-Goose! could work. So could Hide-and-Seek! Or maybe we can play Tag! That sounds like fun! Heh, I'm the best at Tag though. I'll win for sure. They can't beat me!" She took a confident pose, giving a thumbs up before she descended to face the robots, knowing that Renalus had turned to fight the girl, Ayanna.

Pointing to the "specters", she smirked and made several demoralizing poses, trying to goad them into assaulting her further. "Yoo-hoo! I'm right here again! Seriously, those spears are so cool, but I have to apologize. I'm kind of hungry, so can you throw more of them at me? I want to turn them into something sweet. Seriously, it's a cool power, one that none of you can do. Nyeh!" She stuck her tongue out in a taunting method.

It was clear that Misokai and Misonii were no longer there; there was only Kinoha, in all her glory.

Ayanna smiled at Renalus and leaned forward, allowing his blade to pass underneath her. She placed her palm on it before flipping over and bringing her heel down hard towards his head. If she connected with that, she would then kick off of him in a spin, using the momentum to bring her blade around and unleash a wide beam of energy at him from it, before following up with a torrent of flame from her right hand.

"I am Ayanna Shadowleaf, The Arrow of Shadow. I strike swift and true to reveal the enemy to the stars!" She growled at her foe. "The only filth here is you, weakminded tool of a base species. Your power comes from others, and is not your own. I give my all for the SolSkain, I give everything I am made of for my people!" And after that she would dig her feet into the ground, cracking the asphalt and shooting towards Renalus in a burning halo of light and energy, bringing her blade to bear against him as he had done her: A spear through the heart.

The robots seemed unfazed by the taunting hybrid, coalescing more spears before hurling them her way. The projectiles were all on slightly different paths, harmonizing mid-flight and melding into a single, explosive bolt large enough to leave a basketball sized hole in a target before detonating. This however was not enough as their tactics shifted some, a few of the machines charged for Kinoha, clawed hands at the ready, seeming intent on ripping her limb from limb.

Lucifer's anchor shaped staff cleaved the thrown paver with surprising ease though he was left on the defensive as the large armed Lilith continued to hurl debris at him as makeshift projectiles, some that even could strike Kinoha from behind were she not wary as they were sent flying in separate halves away from the red machine.

Renalus growled when Ayanna managed to dodge his attack and was even more annoyed when she kicked him hard in the head. Soon she swung her bade at him unleashing a beam of energy and in response he brought up his shield which glowed blue and blocked the attack with the sound of lighting sounding as he blocked the attack. He then kept up his shield when a torrent of flame washed over him.

Once her attack was over, his opponent introduced herself as Ayanna Shadowleaf, and then insulted him by calling him a base species. "I am Renalanus Phorixx! Marshal of the Black Templar's! And you will pay for insulting humanity!" He then watched as she charged, only to charge against her assault, shield prepared to block the blade. Once he got close enough he would attempt to shield bash her weapon to the side, he would then swing his sword aimed for her neck.

While he was engaging his new foe, his vox revived an incoming transmition. "Marshal, we have picked up a massive energy reading coming from the area. We have zeroed in on its position and the energy source belongs to a greater demon." The voice spoke to him, not knowing that the demon was actually Kinoha. "We are preparing the weapons system but the ships machine spirit is still damaged. The tech marines are doing their best to restore the systems so you must survive for a few minutes. We are sending in reinforcements to help subdue the demon and assist you." Following the transmition, three drop pods were sent from the ship filled with five initiates each, each armed with a bolter were going to arrive in at least ten seconds. Another team was also preparing to get ready, a squad of five Sword Brethren were prepared to deep strike on the surface in a matter of seconds once the first team made contact with the surface.

Kinoha readied herself and smirked. Standing perfectly still, she let the bolt pierce her, the projectile leaving a clean hole through her. She similarly stood still as the other machines began rending into her. Throughout the experience, even when the debris began flying her way, she stood in one place, without budging an inch. As more pieces of her were cut off of her body, she began charging energy. "Hyaaaaaaaaah!"

Once she was surrounded by as many of the machines as was possible, she then exploded violently while throwing her arms out to the side. "ENEMIES EXPLODE!" The massive energy wave that erupted from her would consume her, and any robot still nearby her location, causing each one to violently explode in smaller explosion that would disintegrate them if they lacked proper protective measures. Kinoha herself too exploded.

In the aftermath, several pieces of Kinoha remained, which pulled themselves together, reforming her original self as though she was never actually hurt, with no visible signs of having even been hurt. "Well, that was interesting! Didn't realize I'd be the goose so quickly! Normally we go through several ducks first. Oh well, now is the best time to start!"

Utilizing Rapid Movement, she would appear directly in front of any remaining specters, and begin her own physical assault, issuing punches and kicks that defied physics, her arms and legs freely bending in any and all directions they needed to, stretching out as long and far as they needed to. She figured she could fight off the entire army of them alone, and any one of her blows would likely be lethal to the robots if they were not rebuffed in some manner.

"Once I deal with all of you ugly ducklings, I can get back to the main attraction!" she told the robots, irregardless if they were even intelligent enough to understand her.

Ayannas weapon, parried to the side, swung wide from her body. But as Renalus's blade came for her neck she dropped and slid to her knees, using the momentum of her blade from his parry to swing it full around to strike at the back of his knees as she passed him. She then threw herself forward, using her arm to propel herself into a spin to land on her feet looking back at Renalus, before charging at him again, throwing her right arm up this time to project a vortex of liquid energy, which crystalized into a solid battering ram as she charged at him.

Meanwhile, in high orbit, not several hundred yards from The Remembrance of Truth, A series of energy blasts flew towards the great vessel. The origin point of the attack shimmered as a ship decloaked, revealing a large golden vessel with flowing hull lines and a silhouette resembling a flower. The attacks detonated in bright showy explosions above and below The Remembrance, and a communication was sent.

"This is Du Ligari Voshun, Inform your men on the ground to withdraw from the battle, and we shall do the same. A far greater threat is present on the planet and it is in our mutual interest to refocus our efforts upon it. Whatever grievances come after, can be addressed then." The Communication stated, if it was accepted.

Some of the Legion bodies detonated from the effects of the energy wave, but there still seemed to be yet more of them to take their place. The rift wasn't closed, and they were still coming through. Some were different from the others, larger, less gangly, and while Kinoha's rapid barrage of punches and kicks would quickly break through the barriers on the smaller units and render them relatively inert, one of the large units seemed relatively unfazed by the initial assault, the air before it rippled with every strike before a steel crushing haymaker would be airmailed towards Kinoha's face from a second of the larger brutes.

More of the larger units were starting to appear the mix, surrounded by the smaller portions of Legion, there was near three dozen of them now, making Lilith just laugh in triumph as she dueled her red armored brother, "You can't win Lucy, we're going to cleanse this planet of the organic meat stains and make it a place for our kind, the superior lifeforms."

"Damn you Lilith, you don't need to do this, they have done nothing to you." he said, no strain in his voice despite using his weapon to stop the blow of a hammer arm. "They live Lucifer, that's crime enough." she replied.

Renalus felt his opponents blade strike the back on his knee, although his power armor took the main brunt of the force so it did not cripple the limb. She was slippery and quick, almost like the many Eldar he has faught in his lifetime. He quickly turned around to face Ayanna and raised his shield to defend against the strange crystallized battering ram, sliding back as he did so. His attention was soon caught by the sound of a large explosion in the distance, and the sound of drop pods landing around the street followed by some initiates spotting him and rushing to his aid.

Meanwhile in orbit, The Remembrance Of Truth's sytems flashed red as projectiles exploded near the ship. The ships weaponary soon came online and aimed at the ship but did not fire. Soon they were contacted by a unknown vessel telling them to withdraw and in turn they would withdraw. "This is The Remembrance of Truth, we do not know what you are speaking off. We have sent our brothers to the surface to subdue a demon that has been detected on the planet, however if you are intending to also assist in the destruction of this creature we shall make sure to warn the remaining brothers on the ground to not target your men. Our Marshal in currently on the ground engaging an unknown opponent at the moment, if you would give us your commanding officers name, we can ensure their safety." The voice replied to the Du Ligari Voshun. Of course the Marshal had full authority on what would happen, however when it came to a planets safety the decision would be left to the second in command if the captain was unable to reply.

The haymaker connected with Kinoha's face, but aside from pushing her cheek to the side, she seemed completely unharmed, responding with a punch of her own, packed with only a fraction of her power, though still likely enough to punch straight through the larger robot.

Kinoha could not help but jab at Lillith however. "So, meat stains, huh? Well, you'll need to defeat this one first." As she quipped at Lillith, she continued her own attacks, putting enough power into every punch to penetrate or directly destroy the robots comprising Legion, her blows getting stronger where needed. "Kee hee hee! These robots are in for a great side show! I only perform the best!"

She stopped her assault and jumped back. Flexing her neck, she then covered her mouth with her hands before spreading them wide. "ULTIMATE THRILLING ATTACK! TOP KEK!!"

Along with the sound of someone about to spit up, an enormous wave of energy spewed forth from her mouth, a pink and purple helix that had a black electrical center. The width and height of the energy wave alone made for a difficult evade, with the blast as wide and tall as a semi truck. The blast was aimed to completely destroy whatever of the multitude of robots she could catch in it. Though they likely numbered too many to outright eliminate, she could thin their numbers considerably. The blast was also enough to claim the entire street she fired down, disintegrating most of the vehicles and other street fixtures.

The Crystal was see through, so when Renalus' attention wavered, Ayanna took the advantage, shattering the crystal and attempted to slam the pommel of her blade with all her might into her opponents helm. The strike contained the force equal to a battering ram focused into a fist sized point. Connecting with that would disorient her opponent and she would quickly follow by sweeping her blade under their feet to knock them to the ground, finishing by pinning her blade against their throat.

The Vessel acknowledged the Remembrances reply. "We are in agreement then. Our forces shall not assault any save the source of the energy signature we have detected. Your men shall be able to identify them by a marker they wear, a blue sash worn over their armor., I doubt any our two forces shall dare remain in the presence of our mutual enemy. The name of the officer in command is Ayanna Shadowleaf, and can be best recognized by her weapon, a long blue blade with a surface that ripples in sunlight.

With that the vessel launched a single missile like structure to the surface of the planet. This device locked onto Ayanna's unique energy signature and would crash into the ground not ten yards from her position. Upon landing it would unfold and shift about, transforming a spire with three radial arms lain upon the ground. Moments later a surge of energy came from the device, creating a wash of light around it, out of which no less than thirty soldiers, armed with shields and spears and in heavy plate, wearing blue sashes over their armor, marched in perfect sequence and formation towards Kinoha and the demon machines.

The blast cleared a corridor well enough through the now fittingly named Legion of machines. Even as her attack wound down, more energy spears seared through the air towards Kinoha, these ones more explosive than the initial ones she'd been hit with. They were learning, intent on vaporizing portions of her with each hit rather than just burning holes through her. Following behind the spears spiraled a large energy ball, looking like a miniature sun the size of a beach ball. One of Legion's more powerful weapons used by a single body unit, able to erase a 10 meter diameter sphere upon detonation.

Lucifer looked up from his melee with Lilith in time to see a large portion of Legion's present bodies be reduced to ash, and moments later out of the other optic, the landing of the giant spire and appearance of what looked like ancient human soldiers. Just where was he? Didn't they know of the danger they were about to walk into? Those thoughts passed through his processor for brief microseconds before a suckerpunch knocked him off his feet. Instead of falling all the way to the ground, one of his legs was seized in Lilith's hand and he was hurled towards the incoming soldiers, something the sadistic feminine machine no doubt found amusing.

Renalus felt a massive blow to head head becomeing dazed, he grunted as he foolishly took his eyes off of his opponent. Was this were he met his end? He thought as he felt his feet get knocked to the ground. However once her blade was pinned against his throat he suddenly vanished in a blue mist. "Marshal, your skills seem to be slipping." The Grey Knight Librarian spoke with the marshal right next to his feet.

During their last scuffle, the Sword Brethren Deep struck in along with the Librarian who in return transported the Marshal out of danger by tapping into the warp and casting The Gate Of Infinity on him to warp him to his location. Of course before the Initiates began firing on Ayanna, they received orders from the Librarian himself that the Opponent the marshal faught was their ally for now and their orders to watch out for soldiers with a blue sash on their order came a few seconds before Ayanna's allies arrived.

"Thank you for the assistance Librarian, Emperor preserve you in the future." Renalus spoke as he slowly got up, but there was something odd, why were his fellow battle brothers not opening fire on his opponent. "Apologies marshal, but we made an alliance with these people to eliminate the demon on the planet, for now they are our allies and as such we are working with them." The librarian spoke and Renalus nodded his head in approval, it was better to kill the demon then keep fighting that woman.

Once the initiates, Sword Brethren, Librarian and Renalus gathered in formation. They began to make their way to where the demon was, or in their case to where Kinoha and the machines were.
