((sorry, shoulda put: Recieve the amulet.
When Heat Storm collapsed Blood Wolffe did too. There was no need to attack him now. He knew him now and there was no doubt that he was good in his intentions.
They were both exhausted and in pain. Blood Wolffe had been saved by his reinforced skin, but it was smoldering. Smoke came off of Blood Wolffe as he lay there.
"Its ok Heat Storm, its not your fault. They ruined my life too, thats all they do."
He turned his head and noticed the dark figure, there only briefly. Then he saw the news reporter talking about all that happened and now Xyfen was an outlaw, last reported near the train station heading to Galaxy City.
"Neem, they are after Xyfen. He doesnt know it yet, he will need help and I am seriously injured, I cant."
He wasnt sure if Captain Neem would listen to a renegade hero but he had to try, he had power with the police. He might be able to convince them.... Or stop them.
xyfen went straight to prince kiros, a man who had helped him since day 1.
"Xyfen, what are you doing? Everyones looking for you!"
"I know....i need a place to hide, quick!"
"Allright allright....theres an abandoned police station in northwest corner of the city, go there and lay low. As for that amulet, im gonna have to hide it here."
"sorry...i have to keep it. get rid of it somehow, cause after this morning, i dont trust that many people."
"but-"
"sorry prince" Xyfen left for the northwest corner, he was spotted by Neem and Bloodwolffe, along with a few other heroes.
"Oh no...." xyfen started teleporting to the Police department, but there were already heroes in front of him. A circle of heroes and police gathered around him, ready to attack if anything went wrong.
"Wait, i can explain! the ice man wants this amulet or his master will be in trouble." xyfen told them.
"Im his master..." Azuria stepped forward.
"xyfen, i summoned Ice Blok to find the amulet, allright?"said azuria. xyfen looked hazy.
".....ok evryone...im sorry, here azuria have it-" He was cut off by a blast of fire sent his way. He was knocked back. And to everyones suprise, there was atleast 10 behemoth overlord, with mages riding on there backs. The original Ruin mage walked up, and laughed at all the shocked heroes. When he was about to pick up the amulet, his hand was shocked with a fierce bolt.
"Your not gettin off that easy!" xyfen said. every hero in the crowd blazed up for what was about to be, an epic battlle.
Captain Neem rushed off in the direction he apparently saw Xyfen at only to find him surrounded by cops and heroes and them surrounded by CoT. He saw the ruin mage he had sent to the prison not 5 minutes ago leading the charge.
"What the.... Man can't they keep the baddies in for at least one day? I'm starting to see why so many heroes have given up on nonleathal methods."
He took aim at the ruin mage and focused intently, he had not been seen yet and could take this opportunity to land a hard blow to the back of the ruin mage's head, hopefully knocking him out before the battle really began.
The intense bolt of energy nailed its mark and was followed up by a couple more concussive blasts as Neem came floating toward the battle. The ruin mage dropped like a sack of potatoes and then the real carnage began. Neem hoped like hell that the good guys could all get along long enough to secure the Circle mages and their demon friends.
Heat Storm struggled up, on the second go he was on his feet. He had just seen what made up the core of his being and he was angry. He had heard what they feild reporter had said and relized only Blood Wolffe knew he had the amulet. He had a chance to destory it now, but he had one heroic obligation to atend to first. He open the door to an office building, flashed his hero lisence "I have to barrow this, send the bill to Azuria." He took a fire extinguisher off the wall and hobbled over to Blood Wolffe, he put it down next to him, "Here you go, I not going to spray you though, I need a head start. Hope they cops don't catch ya, more help is always need for taking on Crey." He took off at a hobbling pace, he couldn't think of a person he could trust with it, so he decided to hide it and he could only think of one place that would fit, Crey's Folly. No group there ever touched magic it should be perfectly safe in one of the a ware house until he could find someone to destroy it. Then he past a TV with the news on it and he saw a Troll surronded by demons.
He reconized him, that was the guy on the roof and the guy he took the amulet from. He added it together, no one knew he had the amulet, which ment that the CoT thought that Xyfen still had it. He had to decide what to do, he sighed deeply and went to go save him. He hated hero, which is why he tryed harder than most and took it more seriously, even if it means putting his neck on the line for others.
He arrived at Galaxy and another hero had made it there first. He looked at the small army of demons, Time for some heroics. He held the amulet by the string and held it in the air. "HEY! YOU GUYS WANT THIS!" The demons turned around and looked at Heat Storm. I hope this works. Almost all of them charged towards him. "YOUR MOTHER WAS SAINT AND YOUR FATHER WENT TO CHURCH!" Heat Storm Assumed that this was a good way to taunt demons, he started running The sad thing is, after all this is over, the only thanks I'll get might be a medal.
(OOC Note: I thought it was pretty clear that Heat had the amulet. I'm assuming that I have it right, that no one knows that Heat has it and they still think Xyfen has it.)
((wait....wuh?))
((ive got an idea to clear this up...hope it works!!))
One of the mages looked dumbfounded.
"Wait a second....You have the amulet? then whats this?" He held up the amulet everyone was chasing xyfen for.
"theres two?" asked xyfen.
"Huh?" Said Heatstorm. Everyone looked puzzled, EVERYONE.
((i cant think of what next))
((GAH! Now there are two amulets at least!? Im gonna assume that it has an evil will of its own and replicated itself, I thought Heat Storm had it too but...))
Blood Wolffe promptly proceeded to empty the fire extinguisher on himself, steam hissing off of him as he relieved the pain Heat Storm caused.
"You are a slick one Heat Storm."
A few police surrounded Blood Wolffe, weapons drawn. A young officer tried to muster his courage "B- Blood Wolffe, you are under arrest."
Blood Wolffe sniffed the air for a moment. "Dont bother trying to hide your fear, I can smell it."
He then gave a wicked, toothy, canine grin and they all backed away slowly.
Blood Wolffe headed for Galaxy City where Xyfen was reported last. He then followed the sirens to the pitched battle that was spreading chaos all over the district.
Blood Wolffe proceeded to open fire on the nearest mage knocking him off an overlord.
Rifle fire, explosions, energy blasts, and the screeching sound of psychic blasts were almost deafening. The skies were lighting up over Paragon as other heroes joined in. More Demons were coming and the battle was intensifying. The Overlords swooped over head virtually carpet-bombing the area with fireballs. Blood Wolffe lept onto one of them. With a scream of bloodlust he spread his arms out to his sides, his hands wrapped in energy and clapped the beasts head, crushing its skull. The beast fell like a rock and Blood Wolffe landed next to it. There was much work to be done. Another overlord threw a fireball at Blood Wolffe and struck him.
"AAAAGH! I swear to god after this I will never be anywhere near ANY heat EVER again!" He said as he patted out the flames.
(OOC Post: For yours I quote the red part and then read the one below it.

meanwhile, miles away from the warehouse...
"dang, where is that snow man" xyfen was still on the hunt.
"I wonder if that one dude was seriously good." He heard the sirens coming from down the streets.
"Thats it! follow the po-pos" xyfen followed the cops, until he got to the warehouse. He saw neem and some other hero. He wispered to Ice Blok:
"Hey, big guy, heres the amulet."
"Thank you Invisible one" He said
"Invisible one? Xyfen!!" captain neem said.
"Now, my master can come here.
"okay then...Who is he?"xyfen asked.
"you will see" In a blur of light a figure apeared.
"Oh my frickin lord.....how STUPID could i have been?!" xyfen yelled. what stood there, noone could believe that it was:

Heat Storm didn't need to see anything, he was going on instinct, if Icy wants the Amulet then Icy shouldn't have it. It didn't matter that Icy could be a hero, as a general princable he didn't trust most of Paragon's heroic community and the bit he did trust he ussaly kept an eye on. Ignore something going on, right now he had to get that amulet. He charged, he jumped and joined both hands. His internal supply of heat changed inside of him by entering his nerves. On his hands a flow of electricity jumped out of nerve ending and he brought the force down. He grabbed the fallen amulet and made a run for it. The whole time hoping he had made the right call.
(OOC Note: I left who got hit a mystery because it's abit of a mystery as to who was holding it in your last post Xyfen, so who ever did filling in your post accordingly. It's not a killing blow, but in game terms it would disorent. Just so thier is no confusion as to how Heat would know, if he can see the amulet Ice Bloc would be holding it and if Xyfen has it then he would go for the invisable voice. And now for every hero in a five block radius to chase down Heat Strom.)
[/ QUOTE ]
Unless I'm realy wrong here the first one siad Xyfen was giving to aumlet to Ice Bloc, Heat Storm had never left the ware house because he wanted to finish the job. So unless I read yours wrong then Heat Storm has the Amulet. I thought that was the reason that Xyfen didn't hand the amulet to the guy in Galaxy. Hope this doesn't mess up your plans to much.)
((im confused too, thats why i made two amulets, to clear things out. I guess we can clarify as to that we both got amulets near the same time, for some reason))
Xyfen was battling alongside other heroes, then he started searching for the amulet. He saw the mage and knocked him out. Xyfen began to look for the other guy with the amulet, he remembered he was being bombarded by CoT. He would need help, he spotted neem.
"Hey, i need backup, follow me!" Neem thought about it for a second.
"Where are we going?" Neem asked.
"To find the flaming guy, with the other amulet." they started off.
Captain Neem continued throwing out damage trying to knock out as many Circle mages as he could while making his way to where Heat was on the battlefield. He had been lucky that very few had paid attention to him so far and hadn't been able to land a blow, but he didn't know how long his luck would hold out.
Heat Storm was surronded by all manner of CoT, The Troll will pay for this. He started to run for it, he hoped he drew enough off that they could handle them here and then help mop up the group following him. In concept it was sound, in practice it wasn't looking good. Two Earth Thron Casters caused the road he was on to come alive, spike made out of asphalt blocked his path. Heat Storm tied the amulet to his wrist and using both hands fryed the mages. He hoped enough followed. He risked a look back, Blood Wolffe had made a fast recovery, some one up in the sky, he looked vaguely familiar, and there was the Troll following him. He could remember taking the amulet from him, thier must have been two. He would take the other one from him as soon as the city ceased to be in danger.
The demons followed him down a road, a hail storm of fire followed him. There was no way he would live long enough for help to come, he had to think quickly, which wasn't a problem, he had an idea that might work. He ducked into an alleyway, the first demon crashed into the gap to small for it. Thier was abit of general confusion as he unless a fury of heat lances. He must have hurt a few of them. He kept running the whole time, the demons sorted themselves out and were right back after him. He ran into Gemine Park, the Vahzilok fleeing as they saw what was chasing him. He hit a wooden door mark DANGER in a rock outcrop with heat and lit the dry wood. He didn't have much time once he was in, he hit the burning door with his shoulder as it collapsed he grunted, he had forgot about his ribs. He staggered to stay up, speacks danced across his vision.
He ran down the cave as fast as he could, knocking supports out as he went. Pure adereniline was all that keeped him from collapsing. The ancient supports bent a buckled under the strain as he kept knocking more out. He heard a loud bang as the demons tryed to fit in, the supports strated to give. He smiled, he might make it after all. Knocked one last support out and finaly he heard the cave in start.
He sat down after the last sounds died away, he could afford a brief respite. He thought about the only flaw in his plan, the Troll still had the other amulet. With luck the Troll had tryed to get in and had been crushed and the amulet was buried, with luck. He never lied reling on luck. He got up and followed the cave to where it let out n Skyway city, he remembered doing a mission here once and passed over the spot where the Shaman had died trying to activate some sort of totem. On the upside things couls only get better after that.
The Ruin Mage Tzerian claimed a new body that was in the deep underground. He had lost both of the amulets and some how the rest of the Circle had found out about them. How could he lose the one had found, they were next to worthless seperated, but together, he got giddy just thinking about it and he had been giddy in over 1000 years. He concerntrated and found one of the amulets in the same cave complex, luck was with him. He cast a spell and several ghosts almost caming into being, it took alot more effort than it seemed, he had to call them all the way from Dark Astoria. He grinned as he looked a the specters, sometimes the old ways were the best. He comanded them to bring him the amulet and the went intangable and started thier search. He then concentrated on the second amulet, he felt for it, it was...
(OOC Note: Up to you Xyfen and thier was plenty of time for anyone to get into the tunnel. And heres my explaintion as to why theres two, the mage had one befor he took the new one. Xyfen took them both by accident and when Heat Storm took one from him he had missed the other and no one till now had noticed. That works, right?)
Captain Neem tried to pull as many of the CoT chasing Heat Storm off and knock them out before they could catch him. He had just gotten to the entrance of the cave, having defeated all the CoT chasing him that had not gone in, when the collapse started.
"Thats not good, I hope theres another entrance to that cave or the hero in there is going to have some major problems."
He turned back and flew as fast as he could to the battle that still raged behind them.
((Neem has decided to leave the amulets in the care of the two heroes that have them, he is just here to make the streets safe again if he can now. The explanation works good, roll with it))
xyfen had just made it out of the tunnel before it collapsed, only one thing was wrong.
"MY FRICKIN TAIL!!" His tail had gotten caught in a pile of debris. With much pain he pulled it out of the rocks. He was in the hollows now, he had a chance to rest. He sat down and started toexamin the amulet, it was gold with a leather strap. The side was encrusted in blue, pointy diamonds....or at least they looked like diamonds. As he looked closer, he noticed something chiilingly familiar: The diamonds looked like eyes, wide open eyes.
((anybody got an idea what the relation is:
Rullaru))
Tzerian felt the other amulet was also close, his luck was turning around. Four ghost came into existance behind them. One dwarfed the other, a Spectral Demon Lord, he could tell that it was his amulet, the Troll would pay dearly. As they went to find him he looked around the lonely outpost of Orgabega, the table was filled with artifacts and there was a small cote. That was it, still it was all he needed once he had the amulets. He rubbed his hands together, he would soon be the strongest mage in the Circle, he couldn't wait.
Heat Storm walked throught the cave so not to hurt his ribs, much. He had to owe up to the truth, he was lost. Being this close to the Hallows had mess up the path he took last time. The Troll will pay for all of his kind as well for this, if he is still alive. He walked down a freshly made Troll tunnel, already abondon, wasteful creatures. He keep walking in the belife that all paths have to lead somewhere. He didn't notice the five ghost silently floating towards him...
(OOC Note: Incase Blood Wolffe followed I'll wait to start the fight. Also is PUCheesehead still playing. Just wondering because I would like to leave the amulet properties up to you.)
Xyfen ran to the spot where all the CoT flocked in the hollows, to his surprise, they werent there. Xyfen figured to go into one of the portals. He climbed up in the middle portal, under shadow shard. He gave a deep breath, and held up the amulet to the sky. He waited but nothing. nothing happened. When xyfen started to walk away he heard a loud humming noise.
when he turned around he saw the hologram of a giant eye, it looked like an over seer only much larger.
" You bare the amulet, what do you seek?" asked the eye.
"Holy....umm...what is the power of this amulet?"
"It posseses a great power that can give you control over almost anyone. when we invaded your planet one of the generals forgot it, we have been meaning to come back for it."
"there are two down here, whats that about?"
"there was a duplicate made, years ago, that was left also. It is a fake."
"Well...then that means-" Once again he was cut off.
"Found ya troll!" heat storm blasted a firey ray at xyfen. quickly, he put the amulet in the way. It shattered in many pieces.
"IN NOT A TROLL!!!" xyfen yelled.
"Oh..."
"you! you heroes have destroted the amulet!! We will be coming, very soon!" The hologram dissapeared.
"Oh great...." Xyfen said.
"You idiot" said heat storm.
"WHAT?!"
"Why did you show him the amulet?"
"I wanted answers, i thought they wouldnt leave it here on accident!" Said xyfen.
".....i kinda see your point. But what are we gonna do? theyre coming here to earth!"
"Hmmmm....I have an idea."
"So do i." Heat storm and xyfen went to atlas park as quick as possible. They asked if there were any type of space vehicles. They were told of a large ship in Striga Isle that they were given acces to after telling the official of the attacking rullaru.
They made there way back to galaxy where they saw familiar faces, finishing up with the CoT. At the end of the battle, every hero involved in this mishap was summoned by heat storm and xyfen.((heat storm is still in possesion of one of the amulets))
"Allright listen up! Im gonna cut to the chase... this amulet is the rullaru's, and theyre coming to get us for destroying the second one. Were not sure if it was the fake or not. But were gathering up some heroes to fight the coming rullaru" Said xyfen.
"but dont they come from shadow shard?" piped up one hero.
"I dunno, ive never been up there. All i know is that some are coming from another planet.......if you wanna come and fight, step up and say I"
((umm.. uhh.. whatthehell? Space? You do know that the shadow shard is another dimension right? The rularuu as far as I've been able to tell don't even have technology, how are they going to be in space? And we just happen to have a shuttle prepped that the city government in AP has jurisdiction over? say what? Could we get a do over on that please))
(OOC Note: Besides that you ignored my idea, I won't have a problem with that if you gave an explantion. And I don't realy want this space stuff. So what do you say we have a do over.)
((well its in ur guys hands now, im not posting here anymore. too much confusion. And i dont care if i caused it))
((ooc: so much for a simple ice dude rampaging around atlas. 
))
OOC: Well, crap!! I go out of town unexpectedly and my simple little post goes to hell in a handbasket. 
I should have posted something to that effect, but I honestly didn't have time. If people still were interested, I could restart from a less confused point. What do folks think?
(OOC Note: Sure, I liked the story.)
Xyfen, knowing he woulkdnt be able to figure anything out, wandered into the train station. He saw what was on the news.
"Good evening paragon citicens, and heres wuts hapnin' yo!" the news was at a desperate time.
"tonight, in atlas a wild snow beast is terrorizing ATLAS, and heroes are looking for a lone troll, if you see him hear in atlas, Kill him and take any jewelry."
"........................" xyfen headed on the first train to galaxy, theres only one man that could help him now, and he was at freedom corps.
((it happened in Galaxy))
