"Finally, a kickass ride!" Matt shouted, blasting a hole in a shadow monster before scrambling onto the dragon's back, Hugo, Hsien-Ko and R.D., and Mei-ling in tow.

(OOC: Juno, either you stop your denial, or hinting of Kuro being inside Maya!)

Morph's face stood plain, grave. "I don't think you needed her in the first place, unless you are so weak you need others' bodies to survive, like Kuro once did." He said. He pointed at Maya. "You are just a minion, aintya?"

R.D. muttered something in his unconsciousness as he was lifted onto the back of Bahamut. The beast spread his massive wings and took to the skies. It circled around and fired off a volley of energy shots into the crowd of monsters as a parting gift, and returned Vagabond's smile to the best of his ability. He then turned and took to the skies.

===Within Xobelisk===

"Kuro doesn't even know I exist. I sent out the knowledge of My existence into you all during the Sealing," Ziatoch said softly, "And it is I who plagued your nightmares. And I grew stronger and stronger with each world I consumed. All the while, Kuro remained ignorant of what I truly am."

Ziatoch smiled; a cruel smile. "But should Kuro return, then I will bow before him. And perhaps we'll work something out."

(OOC: ZOMG! *points* SON O' DARKNESS!)

"Xastra?" Morph asked, emphasizing the 'X', which he did not pronounce as a 'Z', like those silly English would.

"Jeez, what are you, a KH villain?" He went on sarastically.

"Hmmm..." Morph rubbed his chin in thought. I know...

"Dus, wat benne gèh van plan, dan hè? Vertel me dat dan es, zotteke." He spoke.

Hmm... so she cannot speak the language of evil? Morph thought. "If I can rephrase that?" He asked. "Well, I would, but I think I have more important matters to attend to." He said. A strange, dark, yet light, colourful swirl extended around him, across his skin and armour. "Today is the day you shall hear the sound of impending doom, which lies in the hands of the master of shapeshifting and energy." Morph said dramatically.

"Hmpf." Morph started off by jumping backwards, propelling himself to greater speeds by shooting fireballs the other way, at Maya.

Morph skidded to a halt. Elemental absorber? He thought, a little surprised. "Mara zala knishta!" He shouted as a battlecry, before lunging forward. Then I'll just have to find out which he cannot absorb! He thought. He shot of blasts of water, of ice, of lightning, wind and earth, and lastly, a blast of blinding pure light.

"Hmmm." Morph thought as he saw what Xastra did. He smirked. "So you can absorb all but light?" He guessed. He put his hands close to each other. "Well then, prepare!" He created a sphere of elemental energy, filling it with all the six that were neither good nor evil, he kept the size the same, but the power grew exponentially by the second (exponentially = ^2), he concentrated it, then lastly, covered it in a layer of light, as powerful as he impossibly could have done formerly. Since the light covered the rest, it would not be possible to absorb the elemental energy. At incredible speed, he sped forward at Xastra, and thrusted his arms forward, forcing the ball of light and elements at his gut.

Ziatoch's eyes narrowed. "What exactly do you mean by that, Donovan?" He asked softly.

Morph sweatdropped. If elemental attacks do not help, then on to He drew his riters. "Ritedo!" He spoke aloud, then started his attack on Xastra once more, stabbing his riters at the being before him, and dancing around him while doing so.

Ziatoch thought carefully. After a good hour or so, He decided that He might as well see what Donovan wanted to show Him.

"Very well," Ziatoch said, nodding. Daemonus! Come!

(OOC: "Faster than light"? "10-yards"? Come on, you can do better than that, even without god-modding or power-playing!)

"Umph!" Morph grunted, as he was send flying backwards. He crashed into a pillar, which then toppled, crumbled, and fell down over him. Luckily, he was standing in the right place, so it didn't fall on top of him. Jeez, how I wish right now I could actually transform instead of shapeshifting, or perhaps summon stuff. He thought.

Morph leaned against what remained of the pillar, hidden between it and the fallen parts. "Why..." He uttered. "Why is it that we have to experience this? How did this ever happen? Why was Kuro ever even created? If he hadn't, this wouldn't be happening. Juno, Blazen, Jaden, Zane... they'd still be with me, my friends. And Maya... she'd be a normal girl, living a normal life."

He kept staring into nothingness. "Why does everything that exists, exist?" He asked. "What makes humans human? God is dead, Nietsche said. Good is gone, and as such, evil too."

Morph's head cocked upwards, his hand moved and somehow knocked away the Kuro-Raikou. "Don't waste." He said, sounding a bit angered. "This is making me philosophize. Making me serious." His eyes flared. "YOU WON'T LIKE ME WHEN I AM SIRIUS." He exclaimed.

(OOC: Yes. 'Typo' intended.)

----Italy----

Kalmar stood upright, looking around and deciding to think he began walking.

I have nothing left to fight for, he whispered to his mind sadly, I failed at attaining my redemption, because I was too.. Kalmar couldn't finish the thought, so he turned and slammed his arm through a nearby building's outer wall.

He looked at his arm, and grew sad again, And after what she did to me, I am a freak.. destined to spend the rest of my life wandering.

His mind again returned to a certain red-headed woman, and he grew angry. He let out a primal yell as the demonic powers inside himself began to take hold, causing him to destroy a nearby building. After he had fired off the last beam of dark energy at the collapsing building, he shook his head, and tried to back away from his own arm.

I let it control me, he thought, watching the red and yellow lines on his arm pulse, I must get rid of my corruption.

----Xobelisk----

Daemonus quickly ascended a flight of stairs, coming to the top to blast through the throne room doors. Something is not right, he thought urgently as he felt Donovan's power along with Ziatoch's in the room. But as he entered, he quickly composed himself, seeing no immediate danger.

"Yes, master?" He asked, inquiring as to why he had been summoned.
