(OOC: Ah Hell no! I am not going to let you win like that! You're going to fight Bruno fair, and not break the rules of time without an explination! Oh, and if I have anything to say about it you're not going to be winning this battle. I let you guys kill Lee, who was for the record one of my favorite minor villains, I let you kill Draco, I let you kill the sea serpent, but this time around I'm not gonna let my villain die for the sake of the plot. You have to lose at least 1 battle. I've lost fights, Morph has lost fights. Heck! Blazen has died at least twice! We all have to run, or die/lose sooner or later...your time came later)

The group was obviously annoyed by Ziatoch leaving before they had the chance to kill him, but what Juno was thinking about more than Ziatoch leaving was if Maya was going to fight them in his place.

"As much as I would like to take you and your allies out, Juno, I have other things that I have to do." Said Xastra. "Until we meet again." He said, and then vanished.

Juno, Dokuro, and Reckoning returned to their normal forms, and relaxed a bit.
"Well, that was certainly interesting." Said Kouken.
"Indeed. It seems Maya has teamed up with Ziatoch." Juno said. It was then that ZetsumeiRyu landed before him. He was ready to go right into his Holy Emporer form and battle, but then he heard what ZetsumeiRyu said. He relaxed again, and said: "Speak."

~With Xastra~

Xastra appeared a couple yards away from the so-called God of Nightmare Realm, an expression of great anger on his face. "What do you think you are doing!?" He demanded.

(OOC: Morphman, the word 'more' was not needed there. Also, I don't care. He's the Major General of the entire fire demon army. From him it goes Cora, one other character who hasn't been revealed, and then Gouki. I am justified in making him this powerful, strong, fast, etc. Also, you mean 'Meta', not 'Maya', right? @R.D.: Okay, so run. Have Bahamut come in and cause a destraction while the rest of you hit the road, or something. @THD: Hey! I don't think I should have to tell you you're fighting a losing battle here. You should have the sense to run like the wind, and not break the rules of time with an explination! I am not moving on with "the Bruno fight" until you give me a good reason as to how the portals are not bound by time, or you take the hit like man. That's that!)

Juno looked at ZetsumeiRyu, but he didn't trust him. How could he? He was turned into a being of evil by Maya, just like Zane was turned into Akumu by Kuro/NightShade. He knew better than to trust Akumu, so why should ZetsumeiRyu be any different? Sure, he had Reckoning & Dokuro on his side, but he knew they wouldn't betray him until the being behind all this was killed. He had a deal worked out with the past warriors of Kuro, but how could he be sure ZetsumeiRyu would turn on them, and try to kill them?

"How do we know you can be trusted? After all, you are the creation of Maya." Kouken said firmly.

(OOC: Like I said, he either takes the hits, or tells me how these things aren't bound by time and how Matt magages to create them fast enough, while he is bound by time, to where he can dodge Burno's barrage @Morph: Hahaha! Actually, I think we only have, what, 2 people with names starting with M? @THD: I'm playing fair. I'm giving my character the proper amount of power, etc. Even with the Omega Core you still need an explination as to how the portals are not within the bounds of time, and how he can summon then before Burno uses his attacks while Matt is inside time! @Morph: I'm justified in my whining XD)

"Fist of all, his friend." Kouken says as he points to Juno. "Second, I can't do that until you change back. For all I know this could be an act."
"True." Said Derek.
"So, you're gonna have to give us more than that." Kouken said sternly.

~With Meta~

"Oh, I don't think so." Cora said with a smirk. She walked through the crowd of demons and shadow-creatures with a rather large shadow-creature beside her. The shadow-creature was about 7'2, and seemed to have a human shape. He was built well, and carried a giant battle axe in his right hand.

(OOC: I'll think about continuing when I get the PM)

the group looked down at ZetsumeiRyu, some feeling a little sorry for him, other still not trusting him, and others...
"Whimp." Reckoning thought aloud.
Juno glared over at Reckoning. "We will take a vote." With that said, the group walked several yards away and spoke quietly. "Okay, all in favor of having ZetsumeiRyu join us?"
Derek rose his hand, but no others. "All apposed?" Derek asked.
Dokuro, Reckoning, and Kouken rose their hands.
"Juno...?" Kouken asked. "You're not apposed or in favor?"
"I do not know. I simply do not know what to think." Juno replied. "Tell me, why do you not wish for him to join us?"

~With Cora~

"Too bad girlie, these are our armies, and you're not taking them." Cora said firmly, and the fire demons rose up, and formed several lines behind her. The shadow-creatures did the same, but behind the large shadow-creature beside Cora.

Xoquoxitill: What I want. If you want, I could make it faster for you...

*Xoquoxitill snapped his fingers, the land turned blackish-purple and the Nightmare Realm from that, like a disease, started torwards the part of it in the sky.

Xoquoxitill: Don't get me wrong my friend, this is benefiting both of us. Our creation, Morphman/Meta-yes I know all about that-can use this to her advantage. Thus, if she actually cooperates with you, will also benefit you.

*Zane looked at the ground with a horrified look, which changed to a strange purplish-black color.

Akumu: The Nightmare is neverending. There is no hope to defeat it.

Zane: We will overcome it, and you will soon go back to where you belong.

"You think I'm an idoit?!" Cora asked with a smirk. "I know what you are, and know a losing battle when I see one."
"Haha." The shadow-creature beside Cora let out.

~With Xastra~

"Let's get something straight." Xastra said, and lifted his left hand. The Nightmare Realm began to leave, returning to where it came, and Earth Realm going back to how Xastra had it. "I do not share power with beings outside of my 'blood line', so to speak!" He said angrily. "If you want to try and turn my kingdom into your own...you're going to have to kill me to do it." Within a matter of seconds nearly 90% of Nightmare Realm was back to where it came. "As powerful as you are, you do not come close to my level of power. You know that."

~With Donovan~

Donovan closed his hand into a fist, stopping his beam. He looked up into the sky, and saw some odd darkness not of earth begin to leave. "How very odd." He thought aloud. What has been going on while I was fighting these two? He thought to himself. He looked at Blazen and Kalmar, and glared at them slightly. "Another time." Like a gust of wind, Donovan blew away, and went toward his throne.

*The Nightmare God smirked.

Xoquoxitill: If that is what you wish to beleive, but fine. I'll leave this realm alone for the time being, but do know this, I will be back. Oh, and now that my little Nightmare came in contact with Earthrealm, Earthrealm will have alot of the Nightmare Realm's qualities. And no level of power can change that, only the "Holy One" can remove such a curse. Ta ta for now...

*Then Xoquoxitill teleported to other various dimensions, haveing the Nightmare consume them all...
