((This is what you consider all hell breaking loose H'taed? Wow, that's an overstatement. I might just pop back in because Krystell would be unaffected by that heat thing. I wasn't technically there when that whole "Beyond Good and Evil crap went down))

((Okie dokie then. You don't appreciate his power? He'll immediatly switch Krystell to his prime target when she gets back. ))
((Why? I haven't been judged by that scroll. For all the Avatar knows I could be beyond Good and Evil.))
"Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid." - John Wayne
((He has nothing to do with the Judgement. He is PURE JUSTICE INCARNATE.
Has someone ever sneezed in front of you and you didn't say God Bless you?
You will be found wanting in his eyes. Again, he has no actual morality to get in the way of his judging. He doesn't care if you ARE above good and evil.))
((I think he has a weakness I just found.))

((Oh great, his ONE FATAL WEAKNESS and someone has already found it? I was expecting him to last a bit longer.))

((Last that had happened was Krystell jumped into her pocekt, Alex and Sho are standing there, and the Avatar is twirling its staff making some sort of purple energy.))
Shoshemi changed the makeup of her force field slightly. Instead of protecting her from physical attacks, it was keeping the increased heat of the room out. She looked around, and seeing only Alex, wondered where Krystell had gone. It didn't matter now, there were bigger things at hand.
She glanced at Alex.
"So, what do you suggest?"

((Krystell isn't there right now so I can't really do anything.))
"Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid." - John Wayne
"How well does your force field work?" She said simply.
Alex's body shimmered, turning transparent. She had turned incorporeal, no longer a physical body. Of course, that meant she couldn't fight back, physically anyway, which really was her forte.
"There are no physical weaknesses. Its as solid as they come, and besides the fact that Diov would interfere, I don't think time tampering would affect it. Neither would dimensional pockets, it doesn't exist exclusively in one dimension, it stretches over them all. Its the physical embodiment of law and order. Anything it deems unworthy it will dispense justice upon."
She looked intensely serious, watching it continue to spin its staff-like weapon.
"As far as I can tell, there's only one way to beat it, and it doesn't involve fighting it...with fists anyway. Psychological warfare. It stops at nothing, dispensing justice on those it sees fit to judge. From what I can tell, its an extreme. If it falls on you, it wont stop until it either kills you or finds a more deserving target. Solution?"
Alex's armor faded away, though she was still transparent.
"Turn it on itself. Somehow get it to see itself as deserving of justice, more immediately than us. Any bright ideas?"

"It seems like a feasible concept. This is nothing more than another test, like the ones before. It seems Lord Diov doesn't want us to fight, but think."
Shoshemi stepped forward slightly and spoke to the Avatar.
"What makes us so wanting. Are you not just as deserving of 'justice' than we. You judge others on inconsequential actions and destroy them. In the eyes of nature you are more deserving of 'justice' than either of us are."
She glanced back at Alex for support.

~That won't work...~ Said a mocking voice from everywhere.
"You seek to rock my faith. Evil does that." The avatar said in a voice as cold as the arctic.
Suddenly, the avatar flapped its wings...
And vanished, reappearing directly in front of Shoshemi.
Then it reached out with its left hand, and SLAPPED the force field. It looked truely ridiculous.
It felt a good deal less ridiculous when the force field shattered.
The avatar raised his staff, brimming with power, and brought it down upon Shoshemi.
((You are on the right track, but again, simply TALKING to him is not going to work.))
((Dang. I should've picked up that scroll when I had the chance. Anyways, I'm going off of what Alex said about it stretching over all dimensions.))
Krystell heard a slight sound once she fully materialized inside of her Pocket. Two mud maces formed in her hands. No one should be here but her! She faced the intruder, who was another Incarnation of the Avatar of Justice.
"Who are you? What are you doing in my Pocket?"
The Avatar simply stood there staring at her.
"Man, this is creeping me out. Aoleleb, who is this guy?"
"He's called the Avatar of Justice. He is designed purely to mett out justice to those he deems in need of it. Normally this comes in the form of bashing their head in with that staff of his."
"Oh, great, that's just great. I've met creations like this before though, I can handle it from here. Thanks Aoleleb."
Krystell turned to face the Avatar.
"So, you're an Avatar of Justice huh? I've met guys like you before and I can tell you...ahh...ahhh."
And at that moment, Krystell sneezed.
((If this has the desired effect, we should all be fine. If it doesn't, and I know it won't, I will look truly ridiculous :P))
"Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid." - John Wayne
"God Bless you." The Avatar said dryly.
He then vanished from his spot, reappeared directly in front of Krystell...
And pulled his hand back to slap her.
It may have looked silly...
But that little silly slap had obliterated black holes before. If it hit Krystell, it was going to hurt.
((Wait, so the Avatar is in two places at once O.o))

((It is now, and I knew that wouldn't work. Hopefully yall see a way to beat him now))
Krystell vanished on the spot. She reappeared behind the Avatar, her arms crossed.
"I do hope you know I'm going to go easy on you for now right? This is MY dimension, which means we fight by MY rules."
Krystell threw the two mud maces still in her hand at the Avatar. As they flew they molded together to become a wall of electricity 10 yards in height and width.
((Just a quick description of where we are H'taed. Krystell's pocket is crafted like the "Isle of Solitude" from GW. I can provide a picture later, but not right atm. The stuff she puts in here is randomly floating all over the place. Chances are if you need something it will be floating past you at that very instant ;P. She can change the construction of her Pocket at will though, so don't get too used to one particular arena.))
"Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid." - John Wayne
The avatar simply walked right through the wall like it didn't even exist.
Krystell suddenly felt something strange. Hey eyes were drying up.
The avatar suddenly pulled back his staff...
and swung it.
It was sill;y, really. The avatar was still more then thirty feet away from Krystell.
Except something strange happened.
The rod GREW.
It was suddenly over fifty feet long, and the avatar was swinging it at ultra-long range, aiming for Krystell's head.
The rod seemed to pass right through Krystell, who then faded from existence. She reappeared behind the Avatar again, arms still crossed.
"C'mon, I know you're better than that."
As she said it her eyes seemed to return to normal. She was magnifying the moisture in them until it counteracted the heat.
((I know what I have to do to beat him, but I need time to think about exactly how to do it.))
"Life is hard; it's harder if you're stupid." - John Wayne
((Now, call me crazy, but he's about justice, right? I mean, saying "God Bless You" in a way is being good. God, if this is the same God most people mean, is the ultimate good. Which means that to say "God Bless You" is calling upon an ultimate good, since words are a powerful thing <.<;; Then again, I'm just picky like that. And the advantage of it being multidimensional is that if one of us gets rid of it, it'll go away in both.))
There was no hesitation. Alex phased in and leapt in front of the blow from the avatar, taking the hit for Shoshemi. She dropped to her knees from the strike, yelling out as they cracked against the hard floor. She wasn't wearing her armor, she had no reinforcement, she just took the blow without thinking. For one of her ability to form things on a whim, not protecting herself was almost an impossibility of a chance. In a way, she was just doing her job, protecting was what she did, but after the blow she dropped to her side, holding her arms together. She was still human after all, they probably were broken from that.
She turned her head to Shoshemi with a bit of a smile. "You have no idea how much that hurt..."

Alex then noticed something.
Where the Avatar had struck her...
His staff had branded into her, searing right through her clothes and into her skin. A black inprint of the weapon was on her.
If she looked closely enough, she would also notice...
The marked skin and that around it was begining to melt.
The avatar raised its staff again, preparing for another strike...
And then with its left hand, shot a bolt of purest white lightning at Shoshemi again.
-----
The avatar stared at Krystell blankly.
Suddenly, she noticed something odd about it.
The avatar seemed much taller then it had been.
Then she realized it was becvause it WAS taller...
The avatar seemed to grow...
Within a few seconds, the avatar towered like a mountain in front of her, his form eclipsing the landscape.
His piercing white eyes glared at her like mammoth suns.
The avatar raised its staff, (now bigger then some houses) and it started to descend towards Krystell again.
Shoshemi watched the blast come. She raised a hand and encased the blast in a force field. Catching it harmlessly, she put it under her arm. She then sent a blast of force straight at the Avatar's chest, tossed the blast into the air, and with a fast roundhouse, sent it back towards the avatar. In midair she dismissed the force field. She knew it wouldn't do anything, but it would gain her a bit of time.
Without looking to see what happened, she rushing over to Alex. Looking at Alex's forearms, Shoshemi chided her, "Thank you for the help, but taking that hit, unarmoured, square on your arms was a stupid thing to do. And this is probably going to hurt also."
Shoshem took Alex's left arm and reset the bone, encasing it in a tight force field to allow it to heal. She then did the same with Alex's right arm. She was as gentle as she could, but firm, knowing they were still in danger. In between arms she used an old healing spell one of the eldest monks had tought her. The black imprint was still there, but the melting had stopped. That was going to take a while to heal.
((I'm assuming Alex used a double overhead to block the staff, so the staff would've smashed into both forearms))

Both the attacks hit the avatar dead on.
It blinked, but otherwise seemed entirely unfazed.
It started to twirl its staff above its head again, purple energy gathering. It also advanced slowly through the air towards Shoshemi.
The avatar, (still twirling the staff in its right hand) extended its left hand...
From each finger, a tendril of flesh grew...
Until there were FIVE hands, one had grown from each finger-tip.
These five hands all started to extend and punch and slap at Shoshemi. They may have been mere extensions, but each hand was as powerful as the original.
Shoshemi deftly dodged the attacks, looking for an opening to counter. This thing may be the Avatar of Justice, but it was a being of pure chaos. And Shoshemi didn't like chaos. Chaos had destroyed her sister...
Throwing up a force field in front of her, the five fists bounced off it. Digging her heals into the ground, she closed her eyes and went into a fighting stance. Her third eye opened, she let down the field, and flew at the Avatar (as in with an attack). She knew she wouldn't be able to defeat this thing on her own, not with brute force. But she could buy some time for Alex to recover, and/or think of a way to destroy it.
((I feel stupid using this as an example, but it's the closest thing I can think of. With Shoshemi's third eye, think super saiyan from DBZ, except without all the gold hair, cheesy monologue, reused animation cells, and "charging up"))
