Daughtris

Kage smiled, he had gotten through to the ruler of Fishan. This was a king he would think twice about betraying. Aside from Dethrant's immense size there was something else about him, something that proved a job will be done if need be. "Very well" Kage let out his hand to shake that of Dethrants. "Shall we look at the going's on of my city?" the screen turned back on and the view of Ostwyn returned. It was still in destruction, still in complete hell. Kage noticed something, there were figures everywhere flying and attacking the mountain. It was the gods! Kage was suddenly happy he chose to help them rather then take his father's side. He looked at the castle, and saw what he feared. Syrion was charging the Ostwyn cannon. A hundred or so years ago Kage built a giant cannon into the new floors of the castle. This cannon was like no other though, it required immense amounts of energy, and one shot from it can disable almost anything. The shot was a sure hit at something like that, but at what cost? The castle and outer Ostwyn walls will be out of energy for at least a day. Syrion saw it a risk he had to take. Kage suddenly laughed. "The fight is just about over. " He looked at Dethrant. " If you would let me, I would like to leave my fleet in Fishan, get my troops acquainted with the land and refuel. Maybe even meet with some of your guys. Ill take one of the smaller ships I have docked and return home. You are welcome to join me if you'd like. My people need back their pride and hope, once you are ready we can remove the pest together. What do you say?

"All systems are go." There was a loud noise in the control room as it went dark and up again. It switched over to backup power as did most of the castle. Syrion grabbed the mic that would sound through ought the city. "Brace yourselves, the fight is almost over. Gods we are behind you. Stay clear of the Golem." Syrion put the mic down and pushed the button. It was amazing. The castle roared as the upper floors parted and slid down. The cannon emerged. It was a giant piece of machinery, very strong and filled with arcana and power. Syrion sounded the siren and his own guardian Golems moved away from the mountain. "Let em have it." The cannon glew with all colors. Its core was so bright it hurt looking at it. Then the shot was released, straight towards the Golems heart. The impact would be tremendous, if it doesn't kill him it will disable him enough for the Gods to kill him.

But to Thaqotul's surprise, no respond was given to all the new M'tun's threat. Kuro wasn't surprised by Guy nor did he even flinched at the sight of them. The fact that the wryms resisted his corruption did amuse the god of darkness slightly, but making use of the shadow realm was a mistake. Forgotten by Thaqotul or just simply not knowing, Kuro controls every element of shadows. He is the god of every darkness. He is the shadow himself. Without even thinking about it, he could see through the shadow illusion that the shaman wrym has created to replace him in the Blackpyre cave. Kuro was no mind reader, but he could see into his own realm, the shadow realm, and saw Thaqotul searching for something, causing the god of darkness to be suspicious.

[Go ahead. Attack the god of shadows. I dare you >:-3. I'm using the battle system and Kuro will have multiply by 5 bonus! Muahahhaha! Am I godmodding?! Yes? I don't care! Muahhaha! ... I think I've gone nuts]

[That wasn't the plan.]

Guy watched Kuro's lack of reaction, he seemed to be more interested in Thaqotal. Guy channeled his new powers of arcane and he focused on the black shadow snare violating his children. Guy felt stronger in Blackpyre, as if there were something powering him. Then he noticed several of the Wyrms letting energy flow into him so he could help them. Guy focused all of his energy on the tendrils and then they were his, they turned to a crimson red and then dropped to the floor and turned to dust.

Guy one again eyed Kuro. "Leave." Guy said calmly walking over to Kuro. He looked at god in the eye and saw no emotion. Guy knew if he was looked in the eyes it would be easy to see his rage and anger. Oddly Guy could now control his anger in this new form, he no longer let the anger control him, but he channeled it into a weapon. His mana.

"you don't seem to know your place" Kuro said directing his words to Guy without even looking at him. Even though Guy hasn't received the whole amount of powers from M'tun old body, somehow, he managed to turn the god of darkness's shadow chains into black dust. A moment later, the black dust rose again and became two creatures of darkness, red eyes, full black armor, and ready to kill, summoned from the depths of the shadow realm. Kuro's darkness that Guy voluntarily swallowed a few days ago suddenly intensified and wrapped itself around the viking's heart and veins, along his blood stream and muscles, inducing excruciating pain.
"you shall think again to be disrespectful to the one that could end you instantly"

[M'kay. To escape from that shadow bind, you will have to do a safe roll]

The massive fiery spear whistled right pass Gabe and Bella's side before whisking miles away and hitting the mountainous golem on the chest. Shocked, Gabe lost control of the airbike for a moment then instantly regained control of it.
"what in Daughtris was that?!" Gabe barked, surprised.
Both him and the princess turned their head back and down towards the source of the fiery spear and saw the Tutelians.
"didn't Undine told them to settle their own business first?!" Gabe questioned, infuriated. But the fact that they managed to coincidentally run into each other for the second time in another massive metropolis is a miracle. Bella shook her head "lets just continue to the next hospital. We have more important matters to attend to"

Guy laughed for a moment until the pain hit. guy knew what this felt like, he had felt the searing pain of red hot chain encasing him before, he had abeen captured in raids before and been tortured. He had a high pain tolerance. Guy then felt things ripping inside of him and he couldn't stand it. he felt to his knees for a moment and gasped, crimson blood dripping from his mouth.

Guy felt more energy as he felt the Wryms pour more energy into him, he could hear a chorus of many of them speaking to him in their draconic tongue. He could understand them telling him to go on. He heard a screech in the background as one of the Wryms volunteered to take his pain for him. Guy felt deeply sorrowful for this brave soul but he thanked him kindly.

Guy got up and he once again glowed red. "You have no servants here to help you." Guy said the Wryms chiming in. Guy drew his ax and as the dark creatures formed Guy readied himself shield up, ax ready to strike. [Wrym taking pain=safe roll, ready=physical buff] Guy waited for the monsters to charge him. He could definitely win with the assistance of his Wryms.

~Twins: Mitei
Mitei looked at Gabe as he struggled and smiled a little as he regained control, "Oops." she said smiling a little before giving chase to the airbike towards the hospital, "you aren't loosing me yet" she said as she put a conjure on the three, "haste." she said as she, Reiko, and Lufia ran faster towards the Airbike's direction.

"seriously?" Gabe said in surprise "I think they're following us"
Bella turned her head to the direction of the Tutelians and saw them, giving chase with great speed, almost matching the speed of the airbike.
Bella turned her had to look and watched them for a moment "the communicator is still with them, right?" she asked Gabe while turning her head back forward
Using his free hand, Gabe took out his comm from his wolf cape and inspected the location of the other comm. There was a white dot on the map display of Gabe's comm's screen at the spot where the Tutelians are "yes it is" he confirmed it, turning his head to Bella halfway
"try asking them what they want" she suggested
Gabe responded with a nod and proceeded to talk to the comm while his eyes focused forward "Calling, Mitei" he continued with an irritated note in his voice "what do you guys want?"

After hearing the warning, Hikari, Undine, and Gust hasted away from the mountainous golem. They had no idea what was going to happen but it was better safe than sorry.

Suddenly, a massive sky blue ray, matching the size of the mountainous golem, shot out of the Ostwyn castle's newly revealed massive cannon. It shattered the barrier surrounding the mountainous golem and passed through. The mountainous golem's mountain rock skin was stripped away, revealing the blue energy core, but Lightwake castle's rays wasn't stopping. It continued to dispatch its powerful rays at the mountainous golem until a moment later, only the legs of the mountainous golem was left, steaming with heat. The sky itself split apart where the rays shot, proofing how mighty the castle's cannon were. But then, the drawback happened. Ostwyn was left with no power. The hospitals and medical centers were left with no machinery to aid them in their healing the injured.

"Undine!" Hikari exclaimed.
Undine turned her attention to Undine and they nodded to each other. The goddess of light did not need to explain more to the goddess of the water. They had a mutual understanding. Both goddesses waved their hand and used some part of their energy that was meant to battle to spread heals and cures to the metropolis. Because they need to effect a massive area, the injured Daughtrisian recovered slow, but enough to suffice.

Bella and Gabe shielded their eyes from the bright rays until it receded.

"such massive energy" Gabe said while Bella was shocked speechless. They both eyed the area where the mountainous golem once were, seeing only the legs, protruding on the ground.
The Tutelians hasn't responded, probably in the same shock as they were.

~Twins: Mitei
Mitei and Reiko noticed the beam and closed their eyes and covered them yet still moving, not holding hands, trusting each other that they won't hit a wall or fall. Mitei didn't respond to Gabe's message, but just kept moving in the direction of the two, using their mana projecting out to evade most everything needed. They kept moving.

~Lufia
Lufia saw the beam, "Oh sweet!" he yelled in panic as he covered his eyes yet stopping, not knowing where Mitei and Reiko went.

When the massive light recedded the image came into focus. The golem was gone, only legs left standing. Syrion put his hands on the desks and let out a loud sigh. For a minute everyone was in shock, utterly speechless. That all ended when the notion of victory came to them. All the generals started cheering, the castle roared once more with happiness of victory. "This is not over. There is moral to be replenished." Syrion had a serious face on, he didn't know how to act. It was one of his biggest battles and he immerged victorious.. but at what price. Syrion made his way to the throne room past soldiers and guards laughing and hugging. The castle stayed lit because it would be very bad if it hadn't. Syrion walked to the balcony of the castle. The city was in chaos, but there was a hint of happiness. As those left alive came from their holes laughing and cheering. When the cannon turns on it puts away a reserve power supply, power that once sattled will be transmuted to hospitals and guard stations. It will begin recharging right away. Syrion grabbed the speaker and looked down at the people. It was his time to show them there is still something to be done. His voice would echo throughout the city, the castles PA was very loud. "People of Ostwyn. Today we have experienced what might be the worst attack in the history of our city. We have been submitted to hiding, submitted to take rash decision but all in the name of out safety. We have prevailed, but the cost was great. We are left with a mangled and broken city, a city that can only return to its former glory with our help. This battle would not have been won if it weren't for the extreme bravery of our soldiers and those who came to our aid. There I would like to send a praise and sincere thanks to Hikari, Undine, and the two others that aided them. It would've been a battle lost without their help. Our king is out now dealing with the threat that is the children of Venash, and let me assure you our king will not return until the debt has been paid and this has been to put to a stop. Now people of Ostwyn, I ask of you to aid your'e brothers without homes, to take in the injured, to give whatever aid you can to help rebuild this city. As of now we have barely enough power to host the hospitals, but by tomorrow the city will function as usual. I would now like to ask those who aided us in this battle to please meet me in the castle." It was a hell of mouthful but it was well deserved. Syrion noticed the people cheer, he noticed a bit of relief but there's lots of work to be done. The city of Ostwyn just might strain its economy.

Syrion made his way to the comm room for final instructions to the golem's. The summoners seemed exhausted. Syrion cast an order to the Guardians, they would first remove the remains of the Golem and then they would each go to a corner of the city and guard it until the power comes back on. The massive cannon still smoked as it drew itself back into the cannon and everything came back together like a puzzle.

The Tutelians kept chasing them but still, no answer from them. Bella and Gabe eyed them in confusion "why are they not answering their communicator?" questioned Gabe. The two could feel the godly healing wave. Their worries for the injured Ostwyian faltered. Still, their job wasn't over. There is still the matter of asking the god of the wind in the quest to save Daughtris.
"Thank the goddesses" Bella praised "lets head up to the Hikari"
Gabe accelerated the airbike and proceeded to steer it up, only glancing once to the Tutelians beneath them, confusion still played in his mind.

Elena could feel the godly healing wave, and it made her uncomfortable. The element of the Light doesn't goes with her element, putting her in a bad mood, but it didn't injure her.
"Dante" she said through her communicator "I can't find the princess. How bout you?"
A few second later, the comm sounded "me too."
Elena sighed "let's find cover from this healing wave. Its making me uncomfortable"

"Its been a long time, Sylph" Undine smiled at the god of the wind
"you too, Undine" he responded, putting on a smile and turned to the goddess of Light "Hikari"
Hikari nodded with a smile. The three then turned to the two with the dragons, noticing that the one calling himself the god of destruction was no longer there.
"And who might you be?" Undine asked the one steering the flying ride, Kelovious, with a friendly tone "I've seen you watching the battle since you arrived. Its very brave of you to stick around in a battle area"

~Twins: Mitei
Mitei opened her eyes, which showed a small blue tint from her Mana Sight (seeing with the mana around along with the light) and sighed, "Gotta make it hard don't you?" she asked as she nodded to Reiko whom had cast Float and soon Mitei began to fly with Reiko towards Gabe and Bella, she looked at the two, "stop moving." she said over the Comm in a annoyed tone.

Finally, an answer. While still heading towards the goddesses, Gabe grabbed the comm and held it near his mouth. "What for?" he asked "what do you want?"

The wrym has taken Guy’s pain away, but not the injury it applied. His heart was still clenched but he didn't feel it. The heart was crushed by the pressure, causing Guy’s blood to halt. But he already died once in Ostwyn. Kuro knows of the fact since he monitored Guy’s movement from the darkness was placed within the Viking. Whether he is able to cheat death once more is still yet to see. Meanwhile,seeing that the Blackpyre wryms are the source of Guy’s power, the shadow knight swung their hand sideways. In mid swing a large black sword, materialized from the shadows, appeared in their hand, striking at multiple wryms at once. The swing was mighty and filled with Ki energy. Silently, Kuro ordered the shadow knights to only use physical attacks since shadow elements are not effective enough to exterminate the wryms that are made of shadow elements themselves.

Whilst Guy was busy battling Kuro's minions, Thaqotul launched himself at Kuro directly. He swung his tail like a club, and each time it hit Kuro it crackled with dark energy. He was using his full power now. This creature, in this world, was regarded as a god, but to Thaqotul he was simply an extremely powerful being. Thaqotul's secret had more or less been exposed when M'tun's 'communion chorus' cantrip hadn't worked on him, and besides, with the Echanii's return getting closer each day, he could ill afford to keep secrets. It was evident now, evident to Kuro, evident to M'tun, evident to his own people, that Thaqotul was not who he said he was, and as he battered at Kuro with a power that didn't even belong in this reality, never mind this world, it was clear that he was much more than a simple shaman. Thaqotul wielded power beyond both Kuro and M'tun, beyond any 'god' of this world, and his true master was more powerful than all of daughtris' gods put together, and then some. Thus, the true nature, though not the motives, of Thaqotul had been revealed. He was not a Blackpyre, he wasn't even from this reality, and he wielded powers beyond any of the gods.

As he thwacked at Kuro, he growled in a voice that was both ancient and alien "Kuro, stop this madness. Do you not remember the scriptures? M'tun and his people are the one shadow in this world that you cannot control, that are not governed by your whimsn There are forces at work here beyond even you and your kin, and I am not just speaking of the Echanii. You cannot prevail in this petty squabble, so LEAVE!"

You can't say he is stronger than everyone without approval from the godmodding GM X-DD i feel like such an irritating villain) = 204

Attack missed

Although it seemed like he wasn't, he was paying a part of his attention to Thaqotul who was hiding in the shadow realm. No words came out of the god of darkness's mouth nor did he felt any emotions when Thaqotul came out of the shadow realm and attacked him. No respond in form of words was given to Thaqotul's warning and demands for the Kuro to leave. The swinging tail simply passed through his body as if his body was made of out black smoke. But that action had made the god of darkness to change his mind. No chances will be given from here straight on. He was going to kill Thaqotul, the wryms, and Guy along with them. They are all going to die. In a blink of an eye, multiple figure, seven to be exact, with 3 pair of wings rose from the shadow casted by the lights around them. The figure was all Kuro shadow clones, having least power than him but destructive all the same. They all moved in a blur. Two headed for Thaqotul, one from the side and one from above, swinging their sharp wings that could cut through powerful barriers towards the shaman wrym. Two more headed towards Guy, also using the same attacks as they did on Thaqotul. While the other three was aiding the shadow knights in hunting each and every one of the Blackpyre wryms. Kuro himself flew back and made two Brunoma's Dwarven made handguns appeared on his hand. He proceeded to shoot both guns rapidly, One aimed at Guy, and one at Thaqotul. Light elemented bullets were released from the handguns. Especially made to turn a live and well creature made of shadow elements into a lifeless corpse filled with holes.

Kelovius watched as the mountain golem was destroyed. "Well, that was easy." he said, partly to himself and partly to Janice. "Didn't need our help at all." He then became aware of Undine floating towards him. Se smiled at him and he blushed. He felt so helpless. She was just so beautiful. Her smile reached into his soul, and he let it in willingly. He smiled back until she asked him who he was. Damn! He thought to himself, knowing exactly what her reaction would be. Over the years of Bahamut's great war, he had caused her the most misery, constantly trying to kidnap her and make her his bride. He had never hurt her, and had kept her in the best conditions possible, but he had known she would've never listened to reason, so he was forced to take drastic action and kidnap her. For every attempt she had escaped, either by herself or with aid from someone else, usually some brave knight hoping to save his princess from the loathsome beast that held her. He'd usually dispatch the fool, but by that time she would've escaped. She despised him, he knew as much, and he also knew that if he revealed his identity that beautiful smile would disappear. But he had to be truthful. The Echanii's return was fast approaching, and he could ill afford to be dishonest if this alliance was to take place.

"Lady Undine." he said, taking a deep breath, bracing himself for impact. "It's been.....so very long. It is I, Kelovius the wyrm, former lieutenant of Bahamut. I am wearing a polymorph at this present time, because otherwise I would crush this dragon if I were to wear my true form. Plus the fact that you and the other two gods would've attacked me if I had approached you as a wyrm."
