((hmm.. Drade's high council might know of a location of one.. after all they do kinda collect magical items and texts.. ))
((update!))
continuing from last night at Galaxy Girl... ((got some of the chat here from the logs I have))
"I'm about to run, Adam." Volt Master started "But not from this world. I'm about to run so that, when I'm ready, I can take Shadow on again. And I'm not going to lose this time." he ran off, Leaving Acenra standing there, the same emotionless look on his face. he then lowers his head and whispers
"we have lost another" he then walks over to the edge of the Freedom Corps building and looks at the heroes gathered at the statue "soon, we will loose them all. unless people listen to me, they will die. their souls torn asunder, thrown into eternal hell. and each world of this reality will follow. unless I win... or if they listen, this prediction will become a reality. if it means becoming the enemy, i will keep all of you safe." he then flaps his wings and flies off "this world shall not fall"
Shadow sat upon his throne in the Netherworld, the passed competitors for the throne when he was in hell lay strewn in the throne room, their flesh rotting from their bones.
listening to the conversations Adam shared that night, a light grin played his lips
"becomming the enemy... I believe I should push that ambition along"
((ok, that's the update. if there's anything you'd like to add, please do 
))
"Defintely Airvertian... Forged pre elemental wars too, worth a lot, in my humble opinion" mumbled the lizard headed man sitting opposite Shydow, running the shard through his fingers.
"But i'm not going to sell it, obviously" Shydow replied, taking it from him and popping it in his pocket.
"Yes, but you'd make a pretty penny if you did" The lizardman muttered. "Why are you here, again?" He said.
"Because, you're the one with all of the magical stuff" Shydow replied irritated. "You know that, caromari"
Carmorari grinned, and pulled out a sword from under the table.
"From the netherrealms, yes?" He said rather than asked, as he handed it to shydow. "It ought to give you a bit more of an edge" He said, grinning inanely at his joke.
Shydow glanced brefly up at him "Don't smile like that. It scares the bejesus outta me"
"Sorry"
"I'll tell you how it goes" Shydow mumbled, as he got up with the sword.
"If you find any more parts, bring them here. I can even get them documented for you." Caromari called after him, pulling out more papers and starting to write.
"Come back here? Of my own violition?" Shydow murmered to himself as he stepped through the portal and back to earth.
((update from last night))
Shadow searched the streets, his hate building as he failed to find Sophie
"that littlewench is around here some-" he was stopped, as he picked up a magical aura which was different, much more interesting "ah, a stronger magic aura. that should suffice. however, what's more fun than driving fear into the hearts of those mortals back at the statue. it should be fun"
((Shadow has a plan. he wants to give the guys at the statue a bit of a scare. he wont kill Sphie anymore, he just wants to knock her out. bruise her a bit, but nothing too extreme))
((update!))
as Adam was perched on the corner of a building, his mind firing off in several directions. questions such as "where are the sword pieces?", "is Shadow really after Sophie anymore?", "should I listen to Vaytol's advice?" he couldn't concentrate. the fears and concerns he had for his friends were gradually rising, and with Plasma's death happening only last night, it was becoming obvious that Shadow wasn't playing around anymore.
"I have to find a way to keep Shadow from them" he whispered "just until i get the weapons together... but how?"
Drade is sitting at a worktable with old tomes and a few crytals on the desk aswell. "hmm.. Sigil, Aesc, Feoh, Eh, Tyr, Yr.." he says while engraveing a clear crystal "Meow" goes a little black and grey kitten sitting on one of his old tomes. "Suriyah, not now im wor.." he looks up "oh, its just you little cat.. i thought i was.. nevermind" the kitten looks at him and tilts it head to one side.
"hmm.. i think i may of found a name for you, little cat.. how would you like Suriyah as it?" he says looking at the kitten which just meows happily and walks over to him. "well then, Suriyah, i must complete this talisman for adam, then i will do one for you.." he says stroking Suriyah then getting back on with he work on the talisman, which is glowing faintly from the runes on it.
((edit: i changed Suryiah to Suriyah, has it sounds better when i say it.))
[This is amazeing I can't wait to join in with Bomber, to bad i can't find the post of Plasma dieing :P, I just hope Shadow comes when Bomber is well ajusted to life at GG and well good freinds with Adam, thats going to take awhile thought ><' keep up the good work]
((update!
after last night's events with Bomber being possesed by Shadow, Adam came across a piece of the sword that Shadow threw out the window earlier that night. only one shard remains. Suspicions are that a certain texan gang leader has possesion of it.
Alice is incharge of the Shield's repair, and there is also one piece left, and it is the piece that is being held in the sanfransisco museum. she needs someone with lots of money, or the speed to steal it un notticed.))
Bomber sat at his desk with a pen and paper in front of him. He stared at the paper as a painful flash backs came of some kind of demon. he cringed as he saw them and remember what Red Commissar [could have been Adam] said. "You and Drade got drunk and you fell off the balcony Drade had to leave, Best get home" something in there tone of voice left Bomber pondering. had he really just been drunk? Or was it something more, it must be connected it the dreams he had about what seemed to be an angel and some kind of demon but before he could think anymore another painful headache came along. He shook away the pain quickly and picked up the pen and began to write "I'm still having these dreams, there starting to worrying me i can feel the pain of the angels in the dream and the demon has even began to talk in the dream, I even hear the screams of the angel if it carries on any longer i might need some help" as he finished writing Bomber picked up the paper and folded it into what seemed to be some kind of folder which all sorts of piece of paper were sticking out of most likely some kind of diary.

((i would like to point out drade DOESN'T drink anything but water and tea.. vas he can't get drunk (against the hunters code sorta) plus when was this meant to of happend as this is the first time this week ive been on here????)))
((this isn't an update, but more of a short story of Adam's Christmas memories))
it was almost painful when this time of year came around. Adam Julius Hastoria, possibly one of the most upset men in the history of the world, sat on the cold rocks of the challet, watching the skiers race past, with a look of joy on their frozen faces, and stare at the gentle flakes of snow drifting onto the white blanket which soffocated the ground.
it had been eighten years since his last real christmas. eighteen years since he was truly a child... eighteen years...
some people say that Gods of other religions sometimes like to play with the fate of mortals, regardless of whether they believed in their faith or not. if this was the case, it seemed Adam was the whiping boy of all these.
"Why can't they leave me alone?" he asked himself "So what if I'm alone, it's not affecting their christmas, is it?" he sighed and looked at the snow again. when he looked up, he saw a field, filled with people. he blinked, and the image was gone. The memory then worked it's way into his mind.
it was a Christmas town party ina small English village, and the Hastoria band were a big part of the event. Adam, being only nine, was very nervous. his coal black hair waving in the wind graciously, he held his violin tightly. the event was a rousing success. it was Adam's favourite christmas...
when his mind returned to reality, a stray tear or two rolled down his cheeck and was absorbed into his beard. he then broke down into silent sobbing, with no one stopping to ask whether he was alright or not...
Bomber was sitting at the bar he was the only one there besides the bartender and even he was cleaning up "you got 20 minutes to finish and then i'm off" the bartender lectured Bomber nodded sarcaticly "yeh,yeh" the bartender grunted but ignored bomber and carryed on cleaning "damn Adam..how dare he talk about my family like that" Bomber hissed then sipped his drink he put down his drink and sighed "he knows nothing about me.." Bomber snarled looking down "i hate magic users.." he said standing up and putting down $2 for the drink and then jumping out the challet window and flying off he flew threw the moutains his thoughts lost in his mind "Shadow, and adam.." Bomber landed on a moutain that arched over the challet he looked down and then to the challet "Mother i miss you so much.." he whispered whipeing away a growing tear.
((update:
right, to clarify what happened last night, we'll verify the status of the weapons
The Sword of Elemental power - one shard from completion (it is beieved that Poisoned Hyena gave it to Shydow the other night when it started to glow
The Shield of Elemental power - also one shard from completion (the final shard is in the natural history museum in San Francisco. Alice needs some one wth a huge amount of money or the super speed to steal it)
Scythe of the Moon - in Arc's possesion (the last I rememmber)
The Sceptre of Time - in Drade's possesion
The executioner's axe of Darkness - in Draconus' possesion
The Great axe of the sun - unknown, maybe somewhere in Brazil (bear in mind that if found, it will burn the skin right to the bone, with it containing the heat from the sun, so you will need to need fifty pairs of gloves if you are a fire tanker, and if you're a stone tanker, you'll only need two, and if you're niether, i suggest you don't even try)
The Dual fist-knives of nature - in Acenra's posseion
The Staff of water - unknown, possibly at the bottom of the atlantic ocean
the hatchet of fire - in Alice's possesion
the Naginata of the wind - in Alice's possesion (planning to give it to Volt, as it may be most useful if combined with his speed)
so there you go, that's the status of all the magic weapons which have a good chance at harming Shadow))
((update:
Acenra is looking after the scythe for a little while as Arc is suffering from extreme stress. that's all. I havent had much time to plan anything, what with getting the nintendo wii and all ))

((update!
searching the snows of the chalet one last time, Adam mannaged to find the final shard of the sword, and narrowly escape another Attack by Shadow. he got home and fixed the blade permanntly, but Alice is still waiting on the shield shard. after that, I'll write up what happens in the final battle))
Sha'dower stood oppersite the san fan museum of history holding a black umbrella covering his face. "well this is the place that shard is meant to be.. now comes the hard bit" he said walking over and up the steps "i hope they don't have too many lights in here.."
He entered and walked to the desk, paying for a ticket he smiled at the girl behind the desk and looked around at the room, noticeing a guard he moved on.
" hmm.. i wonder where it is.. must be here somewhere" he said to himself looking at a small map he had got from the desk," hmm.. unknown wonders and mystic items.." he looked closer at the map then headed off down the hall to where it was.
He turned into the room and saw infront a large glass case with a stand holding a piece of broken metal shaped like the bottom of a sheild, around it was a barrier rope and the room had one guard, half asleep sitting on a chair aswell as many other cases of items dotted around the edge of the room, he paused just infront of the glass case and looked carefully at the small tab what was on the side. "Tis item was found many years ago at a dig site.. bah de bah bah.." he said getting bored of what they had put, ".. it has never been known who made it or what purpose it had, it appears to belong to a sheild of some sort maybe of ceremonial use." he sigh and stook his head
" when will these silly humans learn to know what a Airvertion battle sheild is, or a Sha'doo items look like, i mean its not that hard" he said look around and noticeing everyone was looking at him he laughed and rubbed his head "erm.. sorry about that everyone, thought i was someone else then.."
The other people just stook their head and went back to what they were doing, so Sha'dower looked around at each corner of the room to see what shadows were there.
" must find at least one for me to hide in for a while.. till it's dark enough to get the job done." he muttered to himself continued to look around, he looked at one and nodded "that will do, should only be a few hours of waiting.."
He walked over to it and making sure no-one could see him walked slowly into it and disappear...
((recent update:
Alice has found the bow of Light (which I forgot to mention, sorry 
) and Draconus has decided to take his leave back to terortheus for saftey purposes.
Adam is training with the sword and shield, and is planning a meeting at the statue with those who wish to help with the matter at hand the day before the final battle (exact date will be posted when I have finished writting up what happens in the final battle) where he will announce the position that each person will take in the battle))
((just a little bit of an update))
Adam wandered the streets of paragon. his arms tired from the hours and days of practice. all the while, his mind was scrambled, filled with the screams and desperations of a forgotten talent
"I will not play again..." he muttered "I do not deserve this blessed talent..." turning down an alleyway, he kept walking, regardless of who was there
AND WHY WON'T YOU PLAY ANYMORE? Hockday, the god inside the fire hatchet asked, leaning against the wall
"because, my friend, I do not believe that I am worthy of it" Adam answered as he walked passed "I have been able to master the art in a matter of seconds, while men, women children, sometimes give up their lives to be able to master a single instrument. me flaunting a gift is un just"
THE POWER OF YOUR MUSIC IS DIFFERENT TO OTHERS Hockday remarked YOUR MUSIC HELPS HEAL THE WORLD. YOU PLAY YOUR MUSIC FOR CHARITY, SO PEOPLE THE WORLD OVER CAN BE HEALED, WHILE THOSE WHO LISTEN CAN BE HELPED WITHIN THEIR MINDS AND SOULS. YOU ARE PROVING TO BE A VALUBLE ASSET TO THE WORLD, ON TWO SIDES OF THE LAW. Adam stopped walking for a second
"Why are you helping me?" he asked in a whisper
BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE DO FOR OUR FAMILY the weapon disappeared in a ball of flame with those words. Adam simply ignored them and continued on his way
((this is an update which is probably the most interactive part))
suddenly, a huge explosion breaks out in kings row. there was no collateral damage, as the explosion was from a discharge of power. dark power.
Draconus had returned to earth earlier that day, and now he and Shadow were battling in the streets.
sparks flew, weapons clashes and insults were exchanged as each strike from the two weapons of equal power hit faster than lightning. Draconus mannaged a hit, and made a long tear on Shadow's chest plate
"you were always the annoying one" Shadow stated "I should of gotten rid of you all those years ago"
"too bad you didn't" Draconus retorted "too bad you were stupid enough to think I'd become evil"
"well, too bad you can't move" Shadow stated again, smiling even more
"what are you talking about?" Draconus asked. at the click of Shadow's fingers, a pair of demonic arms reached up from the ground and grabbed the arms of the darkness god. using telekenises, Shadow then tore the axe away from Draconus and held it in his hands
"funny" Shadow stated "I havent done this in so many years. it's a good thing I still know how to do it"
shadow then threw the axe at his foe. It spun at an incredeble rate, until the blade dug itself into the chest of the god. in a roar, Draconus' body evaporated and was sucked into the axe. the hands slinked back into the ground and the weapon itself hit the concrete with a clang
"heh, pathetic" Shadow stated, before disappearing.
an hour later, a soldier came up to the weapon
"Maestro" he said into a com "I have something that might interest you"
((okay, Draconus has been sealed into his weapon, and now the council Archon Maestro has it. Adam has a lead on Maestro already, but he's gonna need some help
the mission will be level 23 but it will be set on invincible (so it lasts a little longer) so i'm gonna need a team of five or more around that level or higher))
(( just to add on, and since of drades powers..))
Drade suddenly looked up "Strange.. was that.. an explosion.." he frowned, staring around the city towards where kings row was from the building he was standing on.
"beep, beep" his communicator went as he took it out of his trenchcoat pocket, looking at it he only replyed with "i'll investage it at once." he put the communicator back into his pocket and looked at the sceptre of time with was glowing brighter than he had seen it glow.
"something is wrong, i sense darkness.. growing in power.. i must hurry." with that he ran for the edge of the roof and leaped off, bounceing his way down off the walls of the next building and the one he leaped from till he got to the alley below him, then quickly running off as fast as he could past a group of council soldiers...
(( give me a /t or mail on here as to when and where the mission is, i'll be glad to join in))
((I've almost finished the write up, so I'm posting another update))
"And this is why i have come to you. as you can imagine, i had to swallow alot of pride to seek and audience with you" Adam explained
"So let me get this straight" Statesman started, leaning forward in his chair "you need my help with an incarnation of evil that you believe surpasses Tyrant and Lord Recluse?"
"I believe that is what I am asking, sir. I know you have alot on your hands, but Shadow is a poweful foe" Adam explained
"on what scale is this demon enemy of yours capable of, if he was left to his own resources?" the hero asked
"well, think Rikti invasion, but much much worse. his armies are endless and he mannaged to wipe my entire race with out a single break of sweat. The only punishment right for this monster is permanent destruction, as sealing him in hell was not a just and stable punishment" Adam explained
"so, you're asking me, the rest of the Freedom phalanx and a few other heroes to aid you against what is, in retrospect, a god?" Statesman asked again "and not only that, a God who only you truly know about?"
"I can see you are not pleased by my query" Adam stated
"this isn't something we can just do, you know. against a foe like this, we need training. and you're not even cleared for level fifty security, yet you want to take the beast on alone?" Statesman became much more irritated the more he asked these questions
"look" Adam started "i didn't want help with this. all i wanted was for the planet to be evacuated so i could deal with the threat and nobody get hurt. but apparently, I have to have allies in this endeavour. i was just "Advised" by my half sister to ask the freedom bloody phalanx for help. now, this guy has given me alot of hell for the short time i've been alive, and he's given the world hell for alot longer, so if you don't want to help me take down something that can destroy everything in the blink of an eye, then so be it!" Adam made his way to the door "but if Shadow beats me, don't say i didn't warn you!"
SLAM!
Statesman leaned back in his chair and thought about what just happened.
Later that evening, Adam was perched upon the corner of a building, patroling the area. There was a silent thud behind him
"What do you want? I told that arrogant leader of yours I do not want your help any more" he stated
"You know, i once thought the same thing" Manticore replied "but i guess he was trying to do the right thing"
"the right thing being?" Adam asked
"He's trying to allow people to take on things their cappable of. I guess the rules mean that they don't just stop you from amking bad descisions, they protect you from them too" the Archer stated "I had to explain that to your brother once"
"no doubt about that, but no one except me is truly capable of taking on Shadow. but people still try, and yet they fail. i don't want people to die all the time, it makes my life and job alot harder"
"look" Manticore started "I'll talk to Statesman, maybe i can get him to consider your battle strategy to an extent"
there was no rely. manticore just disappeared and Adam resumed scanning the city
((*blows dust off the thread* smeg, this hasn't been updated.
well it has now. I have finished the write up for the final battle, and Acenra will need to have a meeting to discuss battle plans.
so, all those who are wishing to take part in the final battle, I was thinking of having a meeting at eight on one night. I was thinking tomorrow and then I post it on sunday, unless no one is availible then))
((Ok, here's the finale to my plot. I'm not gonna post the five page write up I originally had as it may infringe roleplaying laws. so, here's the basic gist of it:
Acenra goes into battle and mannaged to beat Shadow into a crater, however, Shadow returns at full power and stabs Acenra through the chest. Alice gets vapourised and Acenra goes mad with rage. he becomes the joined spirit of him and Shaventos and they permanently destroy shadow, with no possible way to return. Acenra then returns to normal. he is still the same age he is, and his family do not return, but the Airvertians are back. he faints and gets carried off to hospitl while the weapons of the gods disappear off the face of the earth
so, if you want, you can post what you did in the battle, but Acenra will be in Galaxy City hospital for a couple of weeks. However, if you see Acenra in other zones and what not, that's just me trying to get him to level 30 for the next cossie slot.
thanks for taking part in my plot ))
((Hmmm.. probably a book on that somewhere in the infinite library of the infinite stair, but being infinite, might take shy a while to find it :P))
