"Heh. Who knows?" Tsul answered Legion. "Oh how I lust for bloodshed... I just love the scent of it in the air. Fillet more of these fish for me, so that I may dine on them later!

"I am the Sin known as Luxuria, or Lust." Tsul replied. "I am also known as the God of Sound... but I find 'Music' to be a better fit. You may also find out a few other things, but that's all I'll reveal for now..."
In a flash of crimson red lightning, several copies of Tsul zapped in and out of existence, scattered amongst the stage. Then after all the 'zapping' stopped there were 6 other copies of himself. All of them had his features; black medium long hair that went over one eye, which were both red and pupiless, along with... fangs? The Teen Vampyre Metal Rockstar set his Crimson Noise to the max volume...
"I also lust for battle!"
Then all of the Tsuls started to play the "Stairway to Heaven". The sky crackled with Tsul's crimson red lightning, and it struck the stage where he was standing. As he 'climbed the stairway' with his notes, the energy that was still connected with the stage grew fatter and wider. It turned into a swirling piller of red lightning and began to strike random targets other than Tsul.

Again he hesitated. Why was he hesitating? This couldn't be Helena. Couldn't be...
"She's... supposed to be dead," R.D. told Juno, keeping his weapon aimed at her. "She died. She can't be here."
===In Repli-Earth===
"Hey!" Hyuuma's voice roared over the parking lot. "Everyone get the area cleared! Carpenters are incoming!"
The site was sent into a flurry of motion, galvanized by Hyuuma's loud shouting. It wasn't long when a silhouetted form of a helicoptor appeared on the horizon, trailed by four cylindrical objects.
As GunGlue landed, Guy climbed out, pointing at the barely standing warehouse. "They're in there!"
Making a curt salute, the four tall, gangly Carpenter robots walked over, readying their smaller, more delicate equipment for excavation. Two began patching the cracks on the outside of the building for a makeshift foundation.
Matt glanced over to the wall as minor shards of rock tumbled down, and the tip of a gigantic drill evenly carved a perfect hole in the wall with powerful, if controlled, force. His eyes widened. "What the hell?!"
"Would I be making an accurate observation if I were to say you were friends with this being?" MegaMan Juno asked, a little unsure of what to call the woman who could transform into the green dragon.
The replica of Helena aimed her palms at the floor, and began creating and manipulating Hellfire, transforming it into a pair of swords for her to combat R.D. with. She quickly grasped the swords, and held them at the ready. "Now...you die!" She exclaimed as she charged at R.D. with amazing speed, and then flailed her double-edged blades about with more skill than even the finest of swordsmen.
~Rhode Island~
Without having to utter a word every other member of Legion turned in the direction the leader was looking, and then put up barriers of solid Gouka. "Pitiful. If you truly think you can defeat us, the mighty Legion, with that, you are gravely mistaken." The Legion said in unison.
The earth-bound demons started firing powerful beams and infernos of Gouka at Tsul while the winged fiends flew overhead, and started throwing a barrage of Gouka spheres down at the being on stage.
The child in the crowd was overlooked, and when the bedlam broke loose, he quickly realized it was time for them to leave. One leg in front of another, one foot placement after the last. Damian pushed his tiny body into a sprint, his momentum crushing the people in front of him. The concrete, damp from spilled drinks and juices of food seemed to be pushed behind him as if he were not moving, yet he was making the world move for him. As his speed surpassed that of a normal human's he pushed off the ground into a great leap, flying over some of the crowd and speeding up his progress. The mosh pit was behind him now, and the Gouka had begun flaring from Legion.
A jet of it struck his back, sending a warm and calming feeling down his back on impact. Gouka would not help them, not here. However, Lust might find it to be a little more problematic. A final leap landed him on the stage, right next to Lusst, or the God of Sound as he called himself.
"Lust! Damian yelled, his voice childish but now with the edge of a growl, "stay close to me and stay inside the circle!" As he finished the last word, another Gouka blast that he been aimed at Lust connected with Damian's body. His frame couldn't cover all of the Gouka. Slamming his covered hand onto the surface of the stage, a circle extended from the spot, and the attacks that struck it were immediately nulled and disintegrated into the air. That would keep them safe for the time.
"Luxuria," he spoke with a now calm voice, the growlish tinge gone, "take my hand, and I will remove you from danger." With this said, he offered his left hand to Lust.
R.D. threw an irritated look at Juno. "You met Helena back when we made camp with you in Africa!" he growled, incredulous that the Ancient didn't remember meeting the girl.
When Helena created the weapons from Gouka, his eyes narrowed dangerously. That, he knew, was no ability Helena ever had. As the girl attacked, R.D.'s Phase Blades were in his hands, spinning expertly around his fingers before extending their blades. AngelWater channeled into a thin coating around the crystalline swords, and with a rapid flash as she began her first attack, the Phase Blades cut through and dispersed the Gouka blades into nothing.
The Phase Blades shot up, combined into the massive Phase Scythe, and within one second, was resting against the Replica's throat.
===In Repli-Earth===
"The Carpenters!" one of the crew shouted, pointing as the drill broke through. An exhausted cheer rose up through the blockaded room, and the transceiver in Matt's gauntleted hand crackled to life.
"Get the area clear of the wall, Matt!" Hyuuma said, "We don't need another accident trying to get you guys out!"
Legion ceased their attack, seeing that it was doing no good thanks to a newcomer. "You there!!" Legion shouted at Damian. "Get out of our way! These affairs do not concern you!" They screamed with anger.
~Ocean~
~I did?~ Juno thought to himself as he arched a brow. The Ancient thought back to the day he met with R.D. and his old group, and then nodded a little. "Oh yes. I do recall."
As fast as R.D. destroyed her Gouka Blades Helena created a pair of Kuro-Raikou Blades, and continued to battle.
When the Rising Dragon's blade came to her throat she simply scoffed, and then vanished in a puff of black smoke, and appeared behind the swordsman.
"R.D., behind you!" The purple-haired Ancient yelled, and then fired a blast from his Buster at Helena.
The replica merely sliced the blast with one of her swords, destroying it with ease. "My new power is that of the Ninth Son. There is no way you can defeat me." She said to R.D. with anger, and then unleashed a lightning swift array of slashes at R.D. once again.
~The Ninth Son?!~ Juno thought, his eyes widening at the sound of the words. "Then that means...Kuro brought her back?"
"Okay!" Matt widely gestured at the crew. "Everybody get back!" He stepped back as the Carpenter withdrew its drill, and extended its simple hand to form a large platform for the crew to step on. With the building supported, the crew could file out without much concern for danger.
The Phase Scythe flashed out again and again, parrying the blades as he dispelled the AngelWater coating on it. "No, Juno!" he grunted, "NightShade was the one who did!"
Particles of light and darkness swarmed over R.D.'s left forearm as he discarded his shield, and with a complicated move, he caught both of Helena's weapons with the Phase Scythe. He grunted, and with a twist of his wrist, broke through the blades. His fist shot out and stopped just in front of Helena's chest, and the pistons slammed down as he fired the Sonic Boom at point blank range.
A rippling wall in the air appeared, like a broken pane of warped glass, an echoing sound following the combined light and dark attack.
===In Repli-Earth===
It took about ten minutes for the uninjured to file out of the delapidated building, but many of those who were hurt were too injured to be moved without medical assistance. Hyuuma quickly ordered the Carpenters to build a makeshift ramp for med-teams to get inside with.
Renais hopped out of GunGlue, her gold-burnished boots making a soft clank as they touched the ground. She stepped over next to Guy, asking of her cousin, "Any idea how many are injured in there?"
(OOC: You're gonna have stop breakin' my weapons. They are not easy to break, whatsoever.)
Again the replica vanished before R.D. could strike, but this time she appeared to the side of him. "You don't listen very well." She said as she fired a bolt of Kuro-Raikou at R.D.'s head from her right palm.
Juno teleported next to his ally after transforming his weapon back into a staff, and spun it in front of him to guard against the dark lightning. Once the bolt was no more the Ancient held his staff at the ready, and turned his head to the Rising Dragon. "R.D., if she was brought back to life by NightShade then you must take this battle to the next level, even if she is friend." He said quickly. "Do you understand?" Before he could receive an answer Helena was blasting toward him with a mid-sized katana made of Kuro-Raikou.
The replica slashed hard at the purple-haired Ancient, but MegaMan Juno blocked the attack with some difficulty. The two were locked in a brief power struggle, and then the Ancient shoved her back several feet.
"Her strength--it is almost as great as mine." Juno thought aloud with much surprise. ~The power of NightShade has not only corrupted her, but given strength and abilities befitting a dark goddess.~
"About five or six," Guy answered. "It shouldn't be long before they're out."
Matt stepped back toward the wall as the Carpenters worked, watching the med-teams come up the ramp and carry out the injured one by one.
He huffed, folding his arms. Real help he was.
His mind flashed back to all the times the Core bailed him out of trouble...could he even do anything by himself anymore? He depended more on it than he originally thought...
Light flared as R.D. lashed out with chaotic power, and lightning danced about as the Chaos Emerald fell into his hand.
"Chaos Control!"
R.D. and the Helena replica disappeared within the blinding light, appearing away from the army on a lonesome, forested island just within sight of the army. Chunks of sand disappeared as R.D. activated the matter converter and created the two hip cannons and torso cannon, while the visor for his helmet slid into place, obscuring his face from view. Behind the dark lense, gold eyes flared for a brief moment.
This thing is NOT Helena. She'd never do this, she'd never have succumbed to the darkness.
===In Repli-Earth===
Renais spotted Matt nearby, and walked over to him. "You alright, kid?" she asked, keeping her hands in the pockets of her cooling coat.
"...yeah." He wasn't.
"Legion, eh? I've heard about you. You demons have no clue..."
When Tsul saw Damion and heard what he had to say, he simply smirked.
"Little one, danger, as you put it, is what I am a fan of."
When he was finished talking, all of the Tsuls onstage turned into a charred black color, as though they were burning from the inside. Then their skin disintegrated, revealing beings of crimson and black chaotic lightning.
They zapped thereselves around the gouka blasts, when the attack stopped they remained unharmed.
"Ha hahahahaha... Even Gouka can't withstand this." Tsul's sinister laugh echoed around the area. He flew and zapped through the crowd of dieing people and Legion Demons, as did his dopplegangers, frying anything that came into contact from the inside.
The original Tsul zapped himself back onstage, his flesh regenerating but remained a charred black color for the time being.
"I'll leave you to my dopplegangers. Hope you have as much fun as I had. Hahaha!" He snatched Damion's hand awaiting his ride to places unknown.

The moment the hand was under Damian's, his grasp clamped shut. The ring that had once repelled attacks suddenly burst into a ring of Gouka ten feet high. Inside the circle though, an aperture appeared. Holding onto the hand of Lust tightly, he threw both their bodies into the blackness, ceiling the portal and cancelling the Gouka flames the moment they were safely through it.
Moments later, their fall ended as another portal opened in a city in Illinois. He glanced around, it had been nearing complete night in Rhode Island, back a timezone it was well into the hours of night. Slowly he removed a now blackened ring from his left hand that he had used to open the portal. Mortal's objects were not meant for such heavy enchantments. They would be safe here for the time being though. Until he recieved other word from Ziatoch, he would simply be guarding Lust.
He let the ring drop from his fingers and stood up completely straight. Turning to Lust he spoke, "Did you survive the journey in on piece?"
"Don't worry about it."
Tsul looked down at the small man, or was it a boy? Tsul couldn't really tell. As he set this thought aside, he was starting to feel a little thirsty...
"I am curious as to why you are trying to help me." Tsul said this as he aimed a look at his acqaintance's neck, licking his lips...

(OOC: Morphy, I thought you weren't going to RP here anymore 0.o Meh. I'll get to the Hydro stuff later on, okay? )
Juno shielded his eyes from the bright light. Once he was able to see again Helena & R.D. were no longer on the boat. "What?!" He exclaimed in shock.
Helena allowed her blade to vanished, and started to power up a beam of red-colored energy in her palms to counter R.D.'s upcoming attack. "Show me what you've got." She challenged angrily.
~USA~
Legion merely shrugged as the dopplegangers made their way through the crowd, and then in a flash of Gouka the many demons were at Carnax's side.
"What happened?" Carnax questioned, sounding a bit upset.
"Fire can't kill them. What do want us to do?" The head Legion responded.
Carnax growled slightly, and then transformed himself into his child form. He scowled at Legion for a couple seconds before teleporting to the area where Tsul had been. "Must I do everything myself?" He muttered as he hovered in the sky while aiming his left palm at the area below.
The entire vicinity twisted back and forth, and faded in and out sort of like a bad television channel. Once the area returned to normal all of Tsul's minions were gone.
"Was that so hard?" Carnax thought aloud as he glared down at the ground.
R.D.'s hand swung up and down in a quick snapping motion, firing another Sonic Boom, this time at Helena's feet. The light and dark shockwave struck the ground with vicious force, rending it apart and kicking up a thick cloud of dust.
The armored teen rocketed back, boosting with the thrusters in his cuirass and boots, heading into the forest. If this replica wanted to kill him, she'd have to fight by his rules. And he didn't plan on being very fair about it.
Catch me if you can, fake! he thought, spinning around to face forward while recreating a new shield.
===In Japan===
"Yeah, it looked painful," Alasea said, "I'm surprised R.D. managed to stay upright after it was done. He's too stubborn to admit defeat."
Sighing, she leaned back, crossing her legs slightly while she thought back. "Matt lost it after that happened. He used his powers to create some sort of armor, and kicked Rugal's rear up and down the street, pretty much. When Rugal went down, he turned into someone else... this really creepy-looking guy named Akuma. Matt seemed to know him."
===In Repli-Earth===
"Really?" Renais said, arching an eyebrow. It almost seemed like a challenge, the way she said it. "Because you don't look okay to me."
"Oi, Renais," Hyuuma said, coming up to the group, "Leave him alone. He'd had a rough day."
"Fine," the magenta-haired cyborg said, shrugging unconcernedly. Turning around, Renais walked back towards the GunGlue.
Pfft. Bitch. "We gonna try to get this stuff again later on?"
"Yeah, probably," Hyuuma confirmed, "But not anytime soon. This place is a dump. Whole city is, really. We could fix it up in a matter of minutes if we had the whole fleet of Carpenters with us."
"Why?" Matt asked. "Nobody else lives here, right? All you'd really need is space for the crew."
"That's true, but if we keep going for supplies out here," Hyuuma explained, "There's bound to be more accidents like today's. This hasn't been the first one since the meteor hit. We might have enough to supply the crew for a while, but we're still really short on parts to repair the Mobile Unit, and we don't have nearly enough to completely rebuild Goldymarg's frame."
Matt glanced up. Mobile Unit? Goldymarg? "Who's that?"
Hyuuma looked at Matt, confused on why he would ask such a thing. Hadn't Taiga explained the Mobile Unit? Guess not. "Huh. Thought someone had already explained to you what the Mobile Unit was. Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to show you."
The GGG second in command turned to Guy. "Hey, Guy. When we get back to the Kushinada, I'm gonna show Matt the Mobile Unit. Looks like no one filled him in on it."
Why? It seemed so simple a question for someone to not know the answer to, but Damian did have to take into account Lust's limited knowledge of the situation. "Because..." he started slowly, "...because Ziatoch wills it to be so, and I think that is enough for any intelligent soul to obey. He has requested I keep you from Carnax and keep you safe. I trust you have no objection to the Destroyer of World's will?"
Tsul looked up above him, when he saw Carnax, he replied to him. "Heh... this obviously must be Carnax." Tsul smiled his evil grin. "Wanna play?"
Tsul changed to his Crimson Lightning form and zapped himself to the skies, making the sky filled with this lightning. The lightning jumped from cloud to cloud, then the red clouds swarmed around Carnax striking from everywhere around him...
