(OOC: Ouch! That hurt. Juno apparently believes that he is always just, eh? BTW, this post *may* contain a little bit of god-moding, but that is because the fight in the Temple wasn't continued during my absence.)


Morph slammed Blazen into a wall, holding onto his throat with his right arm. "You moronic little wannabe." He said in a kind of voice a parent would use against a naughty kid. "I have no time for this, Blazen. You were my friend once, but apparently betrayal is all I have gotten for my loyalty to others lately." With a shing sound one of his riters appeared on his lower left arm, a green glow, the same grassy colour as Morph's armour, surrounding it. "So adios, mi amigo." He whispered, and struck the weapon forward at Blazen's gut.

After a while, R.D. pulled off of the freeway, and he shrugged at Alasea's questioning gaze. His body had taken over again, seems like it knew the way. It took the car over various back roads, eventually getting onto a highway. After going along it for an hour, R.D. turned off into a small town, one that, alas, was also devastated in some attack.

"Damn," R.D. murmured as they rolled the car through town, "What keeps destroying everything like this...?"

After a moment, R.D. pulled into a parking lot, and got out. They were at a park. His feet took over, and Alasea was forced to jog to catch up to him. "Where are you going?" the girl asked.

He made a noncommital sound. They found a memorial park bench; R.D. reached under it and felt along its underside, soon finding a key taped to the underside. And then they were off again. In total, R.D. tracked down four strangely-shaped keys, and then the two got back into the car and headed back the way they came.

(Invation of Blazen's characters!)

The next thing Blazen saw was darkness...the one he was cursed by, the one he wanted to defeat. His sword dropped on the ground as blood trickled from his stomach, as well as his mouth. His eyes lost thier pupals and were released from the anger he had. They closed as his head then hung, his body limp. He seemed dead, yet only unconcious from the blow. Really Blazen had hopped Morph would do this, he didn't want to betray him, it wasn't his call however. Blazen's body began to push down, wanting to fall as gravity commanded.

Bryant frowned as did Brandon at Gouki's responce.
"Fine." Brandon started. "Tell me or I'll turn you into cheese." He declaired as he raised his rifle to Gouki's head. Bryant didn't protest, he had a feeling Gouki wouldn't punish Brandon, merely shrug it off. It was ovious Gouki would survive the bullets, though Brandon wouldn't care.

Veronica just stared up at Sheena, shivering.
"W-well, th-then co-could I-I p-p-possibly have a-a w-w-warmer outfit?" She asked trying to keep her mouth steady.

White had found herself in a far off town, alone still. She walked down a street, calmed slightly. Her head was still hung, and her bow, in her left hand, was limped as it was held. The bow fell and was being dragged on the ground. White didn't care, she had lost most hope. She then began to turn her eyes from side to side, to look, observe, nothing more.

Naze was now standing on another wasteland he created, he was done with America, he had wipped out all parts besides the ones Carnax was in. he was strolling through the streets of Paris right now. He let the demons come to him now. He killed everyone that lunged at him, by merely looking at them...it seemed. A small gliter of darkness attack the demons, making them die on impact. Thier evil was absorbed into Naze. A dark aura, in the shape of a flame was dancing around his body. It flared up for each decent amount of evil he got, every hundred or so demons it did. His eyes were a deep black, endless polls of eternal darkness. His cain lead his way as usual, making it's soft tap as it came to meet the stone ground.

Morph retracted his arm and released Blazen from his grasp. He looked at the body one more time, before turning around and walking away. "Let's go." He said to Ryan, a little bit of hate and anger sounding in his tone, as he walked in the direction of the exit of the temple, clutching the Soul Piece.

As R.D. and Alasea drove on, the area turned mountainous. After a short upward climb through a forest, R.D. parked the car at a strange, large, expertly-crafted house partially built into the mountainside, and held up on thick stilts. There was a sort-of dune buggy parked nearby. This feels... right. I'm home.

R.D.'s musing was cut short when the car finally sputtered and died. It had been having problems ever since they left the park. "Dammit," he muttered, for some reason annoyed by the car's poor performance.

(whoa..i exploded...heh...)

Blazen had woken in the barrier, he could feel the pain though, it was too much for him to scream. He wanted to speak...to ask why he must be in such a thing. He didn't know he'd fail..of course he'd follow them if he was given the chance, regretfully of course, but it wasn't his call still.
He was floating in the barrier, held by some sort of force. He wanted to break free, he had to break free. Being kept hostage was not what he would have.
"I shant be like this..no.." He thought. His teeth clenched as he struggled to bring the words up his throat and into his mouth. Finally they breatched his lips and were roared out, like a dragon after being disturbed from it's deep slumber.
"Let me out!" He roared with fire blasting from his lungs out his mouth.

Brandon didn't hesitate another moment. He fired his entire clip onto the beast. Once it was empty he knocked it out and relaoded. He open fired again, but was interuppted by Bryant. He pushed the gun out of it's place, leaving half a clip left. Brandon looked at Bryant confused.
"Why'd you stop me?!" Brandon exclaimed.
"Save the bullets, you'll need them." Bryant warnded sternly. Brandon could tell from his exprestion, he was dead serious. Brandon nodded and let the rifle go back to resting on his back.

Veronica frowned then began hopping on one foot, trying to stay warm. She switched to the other every now and again.

X easily dodge them and concentrated on Axel's weapons instead.The weapons flew straight towards him and X quickly hit them back towards Axel.Axel caught them and laugh,"Hah!Great skill you have there X...but not for LONG!Burn!Baby!Burn!"Axel slamed his weapon onto the ground and the ground was re-placed by a volcano background?(watever).X jumped in time to avoid the force.He jumped towards Axel and tried to hit him.Axel blocked the attack and send him flying right into the air and they went clashing and blocking each other attacks.When Axel reached the ground,he squatted donw as if he was waiting for something.X doesen't know wat was he planning so he just ran towards him.X slashed but Axel than slided past and to X's back."Stay Back!"Axel yelled.X than did a high jump and the scorching blaze nearly hurt him.X did a backfliped in the air and landed behind Axel."Break Edge!"X throwed the Obvillion keyblade at Axel.The attaack was strong and it nearly killed Axel."Ok ok!Stop it!It hurts!"Axel than cooled down and the ground was back to normal.Axel sighned and than just disappeard."Hey stop!"X was about to ask him where was the hideout."Sigh..."X let out a sigh.I wonder where's The King and Roxas.....Roxas...

The trio had been travelling around in a car-Hsien-Ko drove like a natural, as they headed down a long road in the midst of country plain to find their friends.

"I spy with my LIIIIIITLE eye-"

"Matt, if you want to play one more stupid car game, I swear to God, I'm gonna gouge your eyes out."

"Descriptive as always, Hugo." Matt sighed, and looked out the window. "At least we haven't run into-"

A heavy force smashed into their hood, and instinctively, Hsien-Ko swore and braked, the car spinning about in her panic.

(OOC: Heh. I thought it was R.D. who had the problem with his mouth.)

R.D. stepped out of the car and gave it one last annoyed look, then together with Alasea, made their way up the wooden steps and entered the house. It was richly furnished, almost as if a wealthy family lived here.

But there is no family here anymore... R.D. thought.

The two of them looked around, but R.D. was overcome by more memories. This time of a young, beautiful red-haired girl with bright blue eyes.

Shaking his head, R.D. continued looking around, until he entered a certain room that made him freeze up. From the looks of it, it was his bedroom. He found two pairs of outfits, each one matching the two he had already wore. However, he also found pieces of armor, and other assorted objects. But what really caught his eye was the Phase Blade that was mounted on a stand next to his bed. He picked it up and activated it, and the blue crystal that floated atop the hilt became a perfect azure blade, matching his other weapon. He kept it on him, and traded the stun-baton holder for specialized sheathes for his two swords.

He left the room and went to look for Alasea.

The attacker had vanished from the hood, but the car still spun, the wheels shrieking as they spun out of control to a rough stop.

"What the f*** was that?!" Matt shouted.

Hsien-Ko leaned her head out of the window and looked behind her.

"Oh, God," she whispered. "It's Rugal."

The King and Roxas sigh in relief that their enemy was destroyed."We gotta find X!"King Mickey than ran out of the forest."Ok..."Roxas shrugged.That guy always wander off by his own...always!

X was walking now in the raining city with his hood on.He looked around to see any heartless or nobodies are here.He did'nt noticed a wall was infront of him and he just bumped onto it."Ouch!"X rubbed his head.Suddenly,a portal appeared in the wall.With a curious looked,X stepped into the portal.Just then,a flash just appeard right before his eyes."Argh!"X quickly covered his eyes.The light died down and everything was visible again.X than looked around the place where he was standing.A white room!?X than trailed along a long table.He saw drawings of people and things.He than spotted a drawing which shows a girl holding a star fruit."Kairi?"He picked up the picture."So u finally arrive.."came a girl voice.X dropped the picture and swung around.He saw a girl wearing a white gown(correct spelling?)with white sandels and blond hair."Who are you?"X asked."I'm Namine...A witch..."the girl replied."A witch!?"X quickly stand in a fighting pose but Namine quickly replied,"No!Not that kind of a evil witch...A normal one..."she remarked him.X then sigh and stand back normally."So...What do u want from me?"X asked again."Well its-"A portal suddenly appeared behind Namine and and guy dress in black came out."Xemnas?"X asked."Shut up!"the mysterious man said in a hollow voice.

R.D. found the girl sitting down on the deck outside of his house. One of her legs was hanging over the edge, the other had been pulled up to her chest. R.D. walked over and sat down next to her.

"R.D...?" she said, gathering his attention, "Are you okay?"

"As okay as I'll ever be, I guess," he said quietly.

"This must be hard on you. I saw pictures in your living room. You and a redhead, and what looked to be your parents."

"Yeah. I saw them as well. Saw some memories of the redhead, too."

"Any idea who she is?" the teen girl asked tentatively.

"Not sure. Could be a sister, if anything," R.D. answered, "I doubt I was seeing anybody, if that's what you meant."

Alasea blushed and looked down, "No, not at all..." she trailed off.

"So you still want to hang around with our crazy bunch?" he asked his own question, "Seeing how we've pissed off the Seven Beasts of the Dark Apocalypse?"

Alasea shuddered at the name. Matt had told them what had transpired between him and Donovan, and R.D. and Matt explained to the girls what the Seven were, courtesy of Juno's prior explanation. "Yeah, I'm sure," she said quietly, "You guys seem to have fun."

"Yeah, right. Within three days that I know of, I've gotten the crap beat out of me three times at least."

Alasea giggled. "Yeah, but you're the one who killed the snake."

Silence greeted her, and she looked over at her companion. "R.D.?"

R.D. stood up. "Dammit," he muttered as he sensed a foreboding presense a bit aways from their current location. "Look's like Rugal's back..."

Alasea stood up next to the amnesiac teen. "What're we gonna do?" she asked him.

"Simple. We find Rugal, and own up."

Soon, the two of them got into R.D.'s dune buggy and sped off towards the location of Rugal's lifeforce.

Matt socked a fist in his other hand, cracking his knuckles. "Well, well, well...Rugal. It hasn't been long enough."

On the long, boundless road, the psychotic man himself stood a distance from the armed group, and his mustache raised as he grinned. "I wholeheartedly agree. However..."

His brow furrowed. "You and I have a score to settle."

"Gonna run on us again?" Hugo mocked.

Something gleamed in Rugal's eye. "I should ask you that."

"Who's this Rugal guy?" Alasea shouted through the scream of the wind. Their buggy was flying over the hillside and the plains as R.D. wound their way towards the city.

"Long, Tall, and Ugly?" R.D. responded, shouting back, "Just the freak who kicked the crap out of me and Matt after I woke up."

Alasea and R.D. could see that the plains were beginning to fill with weaker, lesser demons. R.D. ran one of them over with the buggy as Alasea drew one of her shortswords for just in case.

"He's been using something called "Psycho Power" to pump himself up," R.D. continued, "Stole it from an enemy of Matt's named M. Bison. And then used a rip to come to this world. Me, Matt, and Hugo confronted him, and lost. It was Juno's Reaverbot that ran him off. He swore revenge."

"Anything else you know about him?" Alasea shouted as she took a swipe at a fast-running monster that came too close.

"Not much," R.D. returned, swerving to avoid another larger monster, and crushing a smaller in return, "Just that he vowed to kill me personally."

"Oh, well that's reassuring!"

It was like watching Satan as he fell like lightning. Without warning, Rugal opened up the fight by lunging at Matt, with far greater speed than before, and seized his neck.

"God Press!"

Rugal took Matt with him into their car, the force so great that the impact triggered a mighty explosion.

"MATT!" Hsien-Ko shouted.

"Hsien-Ko!" Mei-ling commanded. "Now's our chance! We must defeat Rugal and return to our world!"

"Let's go, sis!" Hsien-Ko answered.

As the sisters combined, Hugo took his first running step into battle. "Here I come, you-"

"Reppuken!"

The shockwave blazed at Hugo, and he barely managed to take notice and duck underneath his helmet, but even as the wave passed over him, his world shook.

From the inferno, Rugal rushed out, at Hsien-Ko.

"Here he comes!" Hsien-Ko shouted, more to the paper on her face than to anyone else. "Rain of-"

"Genocide Heaven!"

His kicks struck like slicing hammers, striking left and right, up and down, and all Hsien-Ko could do was cry out in pain as two more launched her into the air, and the final one cut her down.

Rugal's laugh, if any living being could hear it now, was great and terrible.

R.D. and Alasea both screamed as their buggy was overturned by a large demon. It landed, however, back on its wheels. Unfortunately, the beast jumped to it, grabbing it by the side, roaring down at its occupants.

"Oh, for crying out loud, let go of my car you god damn son of a bitch!" R.D. screamed as he used the First Cipher energy to detonate the monster's head. As the corpse collapsed, R.D. gunned the engine and sped off.

After a short argument and awkward retrieval, Alasea soon found herself in possession of a sniper rifle that had been loaded in the back, and she began using it to blast demons before they could come too close. Turns out she has quite the eye for shooting.

"You BASTARD!"

From the crackling flames of the ruined car, Matt exploded forth, leading the way with his Golem Arm. "COME AND GET SOME!"

"Still think you should've told me you were packing!" Alasea shouted as she caused another monster's head to explode with a high-calibur round.

"I told you, I didn't remember until now!" R.D. shouted back.

An explosion ripped apart the front end of the buggy, and the two teens screamed as they were flung into the city. Alasea's rifle was bent to scrap. They were unhurt, however, and the two drew their weapons, and R.D. equipped a small shield to his upper left arm. They charged into the city, toward's Rugal's location, killing anything that got in their way, though the resistance was quite low in the city.

After all, the demons did not want to get near the terrible power the teens were approaching.

"No more talking Namine...Lets go..."the mysterious man shoved Namine into a portal."But X will..."Namine was about to finished when the mysterious pushed her in."Hey!Thats rude!"X ran after the mysterious man who was walking into the portal but the portal disappeard when the man walked into it."Damn it!"X banged his fist against the wall."Namine said I will...what?"X thought.Will i disappear just as Namine was about to say it or will soon encounter danger?

Brandon just starded up at him, teeth grinding. He turned away, insulted, but kept his temper controlled. Bryant chuckled lightly and looked out in the direction Brandon was faceing.

Veronica stopped then bowed slightly.
"Th-thank you." She smiled.

Blaze stayed quiet after hearing the voice. He groweled lowly in his throat. The air around him became hotter and hotter as the moments passed, though it wasn't threatening in anyway.

(OOC: Winter-wear on a tropical island? O.o)

Re-Tuul skimmed through the air idly, biding his time. His lingering senses on Kattelox had allowed him to hear Saikou's arrogant claim before they faded completely, and he smirked. He wondered if they were the last of the Ancients on Earth. If he wanted, he could go to Elysium to find out, but he had no desire to expend so much energy to break into it.

I wonder if those three have tracked down any rumors of the next Pillar, the Khaglessi wondered briefly.

Brandon looked over, he was about to speak but Bryant interuppted.
"I'm not sure, your King sent her away. The man is my brother, Brandon. Do not be alarmed by him, he won't attack you with his rifle." He explained and implied to Brandon at the same time. Brandon nodded in confirmantion, though he picked at the butt of it again.

Veronica stood shivering still.
"What's taking him so long?!" He whined in her head. Veronica then sneezed, covering her mouth. She then sniffed, showing a sign of sickness setting in.

Edited by Blazen on October 17, 2006 at 19:47:26.

Re-Tuul finally decided to check up on R.D. Since he held Lumiya within him, his lifeforce would be disguised. Instead, he zeroed in on the most powerful person next to R.D. in the group: Matt Willard.

With a flash of orange light, Re-Tuul teleported to the city Matt was battling in. He arrived just in time to watch Rugal smash the car. "Interesting," Re-Tuul said as he observed, hovering over the street, "Where is R.D.? He is not with them... nor is the girl..."

Frowning, the Khaglessi looked around, spotting the man in purple watching the battle from atop a building. "So, it would seem I'm not the only spectator..."

Fluttering down, the demon landed gracefully behind the man and walked over to the ledge, hunching down at the edge vulture-like and watching the battle unfold. "Enjoying the show?" he asked the person casually.
