Thunderrar

the last void grenade btw....i think Pious took out two with his eyes and the last was the one that killed Tomb, so with all the attacks done and Tomb dead and gone,...time to start wrapping this up me thinks

F11

Erez'Zul watched as the Nictus pulled out the childs essence from her dead body, his angry overruled any reason he had left within him.
A large flaming sword erupted from his hand, he flew at the shield, striking it again and again, dark tentacles bursting from the floor, wrapping itself around the bubble trying to attack the Nictus inside.

The tentacles blocked some of the attacks but the ones that got through hit Erez'Zul hard, as this point however, it didnt matter, he wouldnt stop until he got through, feeling a greater anger than he had for centurys.
"No matter where you go, or what you do this day, i will hunt you down!! I will kill every one of your kind until your the last, i wont stop, I WILL NEVER STOP!!"

aye i agree, probably should get a sneak peak of the ending, and yes just checked, negative energy is 33% res so ill edit my post a wee bit

Mwuahahaha.....Fire/Elec brute Vs Warshade =)
Lets just say its a real good thing Storm got stabbed and is out of action, that particular Elec/Elec brute slaps around Rikti on plus 2, times 8!

F11, the cave

Erez'Zul watched the chaos ensue, his eyes flickering from one attack to another, the Nictus attacked, hoping to shield and escape with Tomb, the priest tried to reason with her, he was shot by something, twice even....Lucard helped him, the hooded girl attacked, grenades were fired from another woman, one he hadnt seen before....

The attacks continued, each growing more violent and powerful, the earth shook, Erez'Zul had to float a few inches from the ground to avoid that one.
A smile started to grow on his face, he was trying to surpress a laugh while everyone around him struggled with the Nictus.

He landed softly on the ground, dark lightning continuing to swirl around him, he walked slowly to the shield surrounding the Nictus and the young Tomb.
Random bits of energy attacked him, hitting him as hard as they would, he stumbled from left to right as the Negative energy hit him, having little effect but to shove him from side to side like being pushed hard by two people standing next to him.

The energy was only fuelling his own power, feeding a hunger he usually starved, though he never was much one to get his own hands dirty.
"Heres a move that runs in the family..."
Bringing his arms back he cupped his hands together, bringing them forwards as close to the shield as he could, almost touching the energy shield in front of him.
"Power......"
He pulled his arms back, massive amounts of energy being drained from the room around him, pulling into his hands and through his body, regenerating his own body and giving him more power.
"SIIIIIIIINK!!"

A tower of dark energy erupted upwards, around Erez'Zul. He would use the Nictus' own energy to destroy him, then....Tomb would go with him.


D5

Screecher and the two demons reached the mines, stopping suddenly as Hugo exited, they stared at him run away until Destroyer burst out of the mine a few seconds later.
He was going to keep following Hugo but when he noticed Screecher to his left he stopped instantly. They looked at each other for a moment, words unseen were exchanged between the pair.

They looked in the direction Erez'Zul had gone to, wishing they could follow, but they knew what to do, they needed to leave the island.
They all ran in the same direction, avoiding any of the dark tendrils sprouting from the island now, eventually they would reach the water and start swimming from the island, far enough for their teleportation to work so they could return home.

Now Not So Hidden Super Secret Cavernous Submarine Dock Where Tomb Planned To Escape From on a Long Hard Bright Pink Pony Ride, Eastern Cliff (F11

Erez'Zul watched as more and more people gathered inside the cave, this wasnt going to end with a simple fight, it would be a war.
The dark figures words were not lost on him however, he seemed level headed, and he knew Pious was a man of reason...the ferals however...

He aimed one hand at each of the ferals, fire bursting from his palm at one of them while dark energy gushing at the feral fighting with Pious, the energy would decay anything, living or dead, within seconds, reducing the flesh to nothing and the bone to dust.
If it missed and hit Pious....didnt really matter.


Old Insidium Plant (E4)

Screecher watched as everyone left, he was about to follow when he heard a familiar howl, looking down he saw the two demons Erez'Zul had left to guard the plant, they had left earlier to frolick in the jungle, the harsh atmosphere of fire and ash was like a small piece of home to them.

He floated down to the ground, landing next to them the smaller of the two jumped into his arms, like an odd looking dog it started licking his face.
He placed it on the ground and looked at the direction everyone had dissappeared to. He wanted to go after them but another thought came into his mind first. Destroyer.

His eyes glowed a brighter shade of green, he instantly knew where Destroyer was.
He set off again, running towards the mine where Destroyer would eventually exit from, the two demons galloping behind him.

oops, have to admit i didnt realise we were in a cave either, makes the whole 'vegetation burning' thing a little odd.....guess it can be easily ignored, lol

destroyers following hugo to get out of there, of course if hugo trys to get up the elevator or even in the mine....cant say how big they are but i think he might get stuck, lol, im just waiting for CB to post on that one.

E4

Erez'Zul was knocking around in the elevator, hitting the walls and Screecher alike, trying to stabilise himself was completely useless, he could barely stand.
As the small girl looked inside the flying elevator he decided to get out.
Jumping outside of it he floated in mid air, Screecher following him a second later. He didnt know what had just happened, was angry at whatever the hell just happened, and upon looking up at Pious, was absaloutely infuriated that he was the one causing such trouble.

He started coughing, placing his hand over his mouth, his eyes watering a little. The volcanic ash was encompassing the island, making it hard to breath and in some areas even see clearly.
He looked down at where the new hole had just been formed, pushing Screecher hard and flying backwards as far as he could as well. Below him he saw the missle aimed right at them, trying to get out of its way.

He looked up at the elevator again, and even though he was absaloutely livid with what Pious had done, instict kicked in.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY!!"

Sector E4
Old Insiduim Plant
Underground

Erez'Zul nodded to Screecher, picking up Tombs bag, or rather boat, they both walked towards the elevator, getting inside, ready to leave.
"The girls right...its time we left, the elevators leaving in exactly 10 seconds and it will take time for it to come back down, either get in where we can continue this as we move, or stay behind and possibly die.....7 seconds..."

Screecher reached out towards the button to make the elevator go, his finger hovering over it, ready to move as soon as they could.

Sector D5
Viral Lab Alpha

Destroyer was following Hugo every step of the way, wading through the red liquid as he did, if anything in there wanted to try and bite him they would most likely break their teeth on his near impenetrable skin.
He hoped that after releasing them they might let him pass without a fight, especially considering he wasnt human and probably wouldnt be on their menu.

E4 West

Erez'Zul smiled, now was his chance.
He floated to the middle of the room, outstretching his arms, dark lightning erupted from his hands, surging through the tentacles, electrifying the room and unless he had escaped, the frog man as well.


E4 Central

Screecher walked out of the room holding the key in his hand.
Looking up he saw the others gathered round and the small girl in the middle.
He quickly hid they key, placing it within his coat, walking towards the group, waving slightly as he did.


Sector D5
Viral Lab Alpha

Destroyer lost sight of Vyachslav in the dust and debris it had caused, he would most likely have lost sight of Hugo if not for his massive size.
The ground shook slightly as he clenched his fists, his rage growing with each passing second. He slammed his fists on the ground again, the crack in the floor stretching out a few metres.
He jumped high into the air, almost reaching the roof. Although none of the triplets could speak, Destroyer let out a loud, deep roar to show his anger.

He plummeted to the ground, driving his fist hard into the ground. Cracks shot out from the point of impact, encompassing the room around him, the very structure they were in was now falling apart.
He hammered his fists on the ground again, the impact like an explosion sending dust and debris in all directions.

...the one with all the warning signs on it? the one that says never ever open it.....the trap door....the TRAP door....*epic facepalm*

E4 South

Screecher looked around, he was honestly surprised by what had just happened, shocked even.
Destroyer was practically invulnerable, Reaper was one of the most skilled martial artists around, of all the triplets, Screecher was physically the weakest, in a prolonged battle on his own he wouldnt have lasted long at all.

As a chain with a box on the end dropped from the roof. Screecher had another look at the bird man, wondering whether he really was defeated or just playing dead.
After a moment or two he was pretty sure the bird man was dead, grabbing the key inside the box he quickly hurried for the exit, hoping nothing else was waiting for him.


E4 West

Erez'Zul had little time to react as the water flew at him, a dark electrical aura encompassed him as the liquid hit him with the same force as a cannon ball.
As it impacted his body, his shield vanished, the water hitting him too hard and fast for him to defend himself properly.

He was knocked down hard on the floor, coughing and spluttering before screaming out in pain, the water having been boiled only seconds ago by himself, his own move used against him.
His hands shook as he struggled to regain himself, pushing past the pain he stood up again, trying to find the source of the attack.
Becoming more than a little impatient, his eyes went jet black, the illusion he had used to fool Damsel quickly vanished, his blonde hair becoming dark red again, a cape seemingly erupting from his back, blades bursting from his wrists.

He looked like himself again, and so it was time to start acting like himself again.
Holding his hands up, dark energy began to form around his hands, a howl sounding through the room as tentacles slithered out from the walls, ready to grab anyone that might be close to them.


Sector D5
Viral Lab Alpha

Destroyer was hit hard by the shot from Vyachslav's cannons, doing a backflip before hitting the floor with a thud.
His body flopped down as if it was under someone elses control, he managed to clench his fists, his eyes glowing a bright red, shining once more like a flashlight.
He punched the floor, his anger was building, whatever had hit him was trying to take away his control, and there was only one thing Destroyer knew how to do when he lost control. Destroy.

He punched the floor again, creating a large crack stretching across either side of him.
He brought both of his fists up then slammed them down hard, severely cracking the floor around Destroyer.
He punched through the concrete beneath him, pulling the rock upwards until he had a large slab of concrete in his hands.
He aimed at Vyachslav, throwing the rock directly at him, picking up two smaller pieces of concrete he threw them like baseballs, right at Vyachslav.

With this he ran towards the red orbs, picking up a couple and throwing them at the components for making low yield explosives, hoping to start a reaction.

its ok, you asked and received, as long as you know whats going on now its all good

as far as im aware the lance just enetered or reached the plant, pious was already inside with Tyran, hes now down the elevator shaft, jack, Tyran and the demons are there to face the lance. Although it did just fire its rockets at him, the elevator shaft is about to get destroyed?

E4
West Door

Erez'Zul quickly flew to the side, throwing more fire from his hand at the water whip, hoping to dissolve it.
He then shot a stream of fire from both hands directly at the water below him, although it would cause the room to become like a sauna, he figured swimming in boiling water wouldnt be pleasant for the frog man.


South Door

Screecher let himself fall backwards, hitting the ground to avoid whatever Thunder Hawk had thrown at him. He hung slightly over the edge of the platform, looking down as the electricity surged across the floor.
He pushed himself forwards, foating in the air now, he rose a little higher than Thunder Hawk was, facing him he opened his mouth.
A sonic burst erupted from his mouth at the bird man, a short one followed by another and another, one directly at him while the other two were either side of him, just in case he dodged to the left or right.


D5 Storage

Destroyer was fully prepared to catch the scientist, to prove he was worthy of being Hugo's new master, right before someone else caught him.
He watched as a hand carried him to some sort of creature, someone who was there to stop Destroyer perhaps? or worse....hurt Hugo.

He looked at Hugo again, holding up his hand to signal a stop, he then pointed at Vyachslav before pulling his arm back and clenching his fist, slamming it into his other hand.
He hoped Hugo would understand, they had a new enemy.
With this, Destroyer launched from the spot, directly at Vyachslav, ready to punch him with all his strength as soon as he reached him.

E4 Below

West Door

Erez'Zul simply stood there staring, he just couldnt understand why a man in a frog suit had jumped from the water to attack him. In fact....was he attacking him? or was this some other test, maybe he was there to give him a riddle to answer?

He rubbed his eyes for a moment, hoping perhaps 'Deep Frog' would dissappear.
He didnt. Erez'Zul simply couldnt think of anything else to do, he was dumbfounded, shaking his head slightly he shrugged rather over dramatically.
Raising his hand, a stream of fire flew from his hand, aimed at Deep Frog

South Door

As 'Thunder Hawk' introduced himself, Screecher stood still, as silent as ever, his face remaining blank, emotionless.
He stood still for a few minutes, watching the strange man.
Without a word his mouth dropped down, the utter shock at his enemies introduction finally hitting him. He managed to raise one hand, giving a small wave to 'Thunder Hawk'

D5 Storage

Destroyer kept walking towards the giant doors as the scientist yelled at him, ignoring his words.
He stopped however as the doors began to open, a giant ape with the head of a boar coming out. He took a few steps back, wondering what exactly the thing before him was.
He heard the scientist call it 'Hugo', it had a name...Hugo.

He had seconds to react as the wooden crate flew at him. He pulled his right leg back, his arm following, as the crate came closer he flew forward, punching through the crate, shattering it into a thousand pieces. The chunks of wood falling either side of him.

He had seen the strength of the creature, the sheer power and willingness to follow its master. The Simi-Ham reminded him of himself in a certain way. Above all else...Destroyer simply thought the creature was beautiful, the perfect pet for him.
He had decided in an instant, he must tame this beast, but how?
He must become more than its current master was, he would not only become its equal, he would surpass it.

Now he wondered how he could show the beast his strength,
The crate! he needed something to throw.
The orbs? Too small.
The explosives? Too dangerous, they could hurt Hugo.
hmmmmm, the scientist? sure why not.
Destroyer leapt in to the air, aiming for the scientist, reaching the ground he rolled forwards, standing up directly in front of the scientist.
He picked him up, pulling back as far as he could, then throwing the man directly at Hugo, THAT would show him whos boss!

E4 Below.

West door

Erez'Zul turned as the door shut behind him, he wasnt completely surprised but he had to admit, he wasnt expecting to be sealed off with no way out. He would have thought a maze or something similar would have been more appropriate.

He looked around the room, immediately noticing the water below him and becoming just a bit worried. A mage whose specialty is fire in a room of water, not good.
A voice spoke out from nowhere.

“The ultimate source of life, without it we are just dust…”

He looked around for the source of the noise, once again his eyes resting on the water.
"Water....this could prove problematic."


South door:

Screecher turned as the door slammed shut, placing his hand on it as if it would open it up again.
After a moment or two he turned to look around the room he was now trapped inside, peering over the edge of the platform to look at what was below him he stepped back slightly when he saw the electricity covering the floor

A voice spoke out.
“Endless, eternal, always above us…”

Screecher stood still for a moment, wondering what the voice was talking about.
Shrugging he decided to look up, thinking it was the best place to look for the voice.


D5 Viral Lab Alpha -> D5 Storage

Destroyer stared at the man for a minute before seeing the large doors at the end of the warehouse. He started to walk towards it before stopping and seeing the glowing red orbs lining the walls.
He walked towards them, taking one off the wall he stared at it for a moment, remembering the glass containers in the lab, the trapped vampires.
He looked at the man again, thinking back to the trapped vampires again and again, his mind connected the two situations.

Lab scientist, vampires trapped in glass tubes, glowing orbs filled with red liquid, vampires trapped in tubes full of the same red liquid, scientist collecting the orbs,....it was him.
His eyes glowed brighter, the red glow shining across the room.
He threw the orb directly at the man, his throw sending it hurtling directly at the centre of his back.

He set off again towards the large door at the end of the warehouse.
He was going to continue and see what else this place had to offer, then...he was going to bring it all crumbling down around him.

E4, The Abandoned Insidium Plant

Erez'Zuls demons were still chewing on the piece of concrete, their teeth making a scraping sound as they tried to break it.
They heard voices in the next room, leaving the rock behind they silently made their way towards it, noticing the zombies and Jack Wulfe, the werewolf templar for the Court.

Knowing who he was they decided to keep back and watch to see what he was planning to do next.

E4 Outside the Elevator

Erez'Zul stepped out of the elevator, an annoyed look on his face at having to listen to that music for so long.
He immediately stopped to look at the purple shaft in front of him, looking at the blue energy and strange markings scattered across it. He saw the fist sized hole just above the blast door, wondering whether it was a hole for some sort of key.

He looked around the rest of the room, seeing the 4 doors and the signs above them.
"Only one may enter? At this point im not really willing to argue with it..."
He thought to himself which one might lead somewhere worthy.
North? too obvious.
East? that would be to the right, the right way? definately not
South? thats just plain weird
West? It has to be, the last place anyone ever looks.

"I guess this is where we split up....Screecher, you take that door, ill take this one."
Screecher headed for the Southern door, stepping through it as his master commanded.
Erez'Zul walked towards the Western door, stepping through as well, leaving Damsel to choose her own door and with any luck, to finally be rid of her for now so he could be his true self again.


D5 Viral Lab Alpha

Destroyer walked down the corridor, reaching the doors he looked at the sign 'Armoury'. curious for a moment he stayed watching the door for a minute, wondering what sort of weapons it held.
He looked at the other door, reading 'Footry', he stared at the door for a minute before finally realising what it meant. Though his face was as blank as always. his eyes did widen a little at the shock of it all.

He looked between the two doors and the signs, deciding to move ahead towards the elevator.
He stopped for one moment, his curiosity peaked, walking back to the door marked 'Footry' he reached for the handle.
Shaking his head violently he walked towards the elevator again, stepping inside and pushing the button inside, once again ready to go wherever it would take him.

Inside the Elevator, Old Insidium Plant (E4)

Screecher looked at his master, and though his face was, as always, expressionless, he wondered greatly if they were about to start fighting inside this small enclosed area.

Erez'Zul stared for a moment before grinning, he started to chuckle before full out laughing.
"Apologies, of all the hunters ive met i have to admit you are the most cunning, as you've proven to me before...yes, perhaps i should not have tried to deceive you, but im in a rush."
He ran his fingers through his still blonde hair, pulling it back into a ponytail once more, tying the string around it again.
"If you knew who i was you wouldnt have followed me and quite frankly i could use the help, ive already lost two demons and that was just to a bunch of toy soldiers. Whatever you may believe of me im here to help Tomb, as i did you before, i had a chance to hurt you or i could have left you to be picked off by someone else, yet i didnt."

Erez'Zul looked down for a minute, thinking about why he was here once more. He looked up at Damsel again.
"If it makes you feel any better my name really is Dominic."
