As the runes kept on coming, you could notice that most of them shone a dark black glow, and that the ground seemed to be moving...
[??? 8/20]

Soulfire Merged with his giant, healing it and making it even more powerful as well as faster.

OOC: Just as fair warning to everyone involved, this is a hint as to what is to come:

Famine coughed and looked at the green sludge that covered his hand and the ground. "I was never meant to fight like this..." He growled, and glared at the Echo. "Why I'm fighting like this befuddles me however." He dissolved into a green cloud of insects that swarmed around the echo. His hands and head materialized, grabbing the Echo by the shoulders and forcing it to stare at Famine straight into his eyes. "Destroy yourself." He commanded and once their eyes met, he poured every ounce of madness and horror into it, everything he himself possessed and everything he stole from Ghroth. Famine is fighting like Famine should, with pure mental warfare.

Conquest walked over to the drone and grabbed it by the head. "If one arrow is not enough, I will overpower its defense!" The drone sparked and collapsed, and the rider drew out all its energy and his own energy, leaving behind simply a mechanical shell. He dissolved his bow into raw energy as well and collected it all together. Energy charge 2/2 The ball he accumilated branched off into smaller orbs that floated around then split apart, taking different vantage points. Conquest simply pointed at Hastur and each orb opened fire, spitting out energy bolts like a machine gun, attacking Hastur from every angle. Conquest rains hell upon Hastur.

War laughed at his power and sat down inside the bubble shield along with Sloth. He began resting and took energy from the shield along as he regained his stamina. War rests, 2/2. He also drains the shield 2/?

Sloth grunts at the extra work but he was too tired to do anything else. He snored on. Sloth replenishes the lose, 4/?

"Holy shit! Did you see that? That guy wrecked Gluttony!" Pride laughed hysterically. He then hissed at the Echo's consistency to dodge and snapped Superbia in half, "Faster, stronger." He commanded and they morphed into duo-crossbows and he began shooting faster and more darts. Pride isn't taking any of that Echo's shit.

Greed drew back and began pulling out his fingernails and teeth, leaving behind simply normal teeth and nails. He collected all the sharp pieces and crushed them in his hands, dispersing the white powder into the air. "Bone Cemetery." The white powder collected together into clouds which he pulled out two swords that looked to be made out of the same material he had crushed into powder. The clouds seem to follow Greed as he charged forward, synchronizing with his brother's wave of bolts to dash in and out, constantly pulling out another sword after another. Greed isn't going to lose to his brother.

Gluttony's body sparked and ballooned. The Sin no longer having enough energy to maintain a more appealing form, it degenerated back into its demonic form which was simply an amoebic blob covered in mouths filled with gnashing teeth. The slime crawled over to the remaining Byakhee Riders, consuming the corpses and whatever else was there. However it stayed away from the bubble shield, enough animal instinct was left for it to differentiate the scent of family from foe. Gluttony is hungry

OOC: Oh dear lord, I just realized I can do even more devastating damage than I initially calculated.

This. Will. Be. FUN.

[OOC: Naah I mean what I type, tried the flail thing, didn't work out, so swapping to something smarter XD]

OOC: My anticipation continues to build.

OOC: Just a friendly bump to keep up the relevance.

OOC: Almost went over the bump time limit didn't it.

Turn 21:



aged on until the users began to gain the upper hand. Goggles and Hastur, however, remain adamant on their winning state.

===Near the Towers===

Vortismal stands from his position as the Echo of the Azure Flame pommels and drains Famine of his vital code. The Party Soldier exhales, a green flame bursts forth from his breath.

Quote from Lamitrov

Green flames surround Vortismal, his eyes no longer flickering but a dark and ominous blue. He begins floating in the air, mist surrounds him and rubble begins to arise. [E-Storage Boost! 8/12] His shadow now gone leaving nothing but Vortismal and the green flames.

The emerald blaze swirled around Vortismal, evaporating into a mist that encircled him. Pieces of debris from the barricade begin to defy the laws of gravity as they slowly take to the air. As the glowing mist surround the Party Soldier, the shadow that resided nearby decided it was time to leave the ground. The light grew stronger as the flame rose in power. The inky darkness slithered to Vortismal's back and hid in the crevices of the Party Soldier's soul.

"Damnit," Aquila cursed. His strength failed him, his powers were too weak at the moment to even stand. The Emissary's eyes drift to his summon, Famine, who was being consumed. Each hit was a powerful blow and Aquila knew it.

Aquila struggled to get onto his hands

and knees as he continues to rest. Aquila rests 7/11 OOC: Hey free slurpees!
[/QUOTE]

He breathes in and he tries again. He rolls onto his belly and attempts to push himself up, his hands and arms trembled at the thought. It was a mix of pain and exhaustion, that plagued him. With one final heave, he managed to keep himself up for a few seconds before crashing down onto his face. He blew the dirt from his face and grunted.



A slurpee falls onto the Emissary's head. Grape flavoured.

The purple colored drink spills onto his head and slowly, the cool as ice concoction, drips down onto his face. "Just wait, Famine!"

Famine coughed and looked at the green s

ludge that covered his hand and the ground. "I was never meant to fight like this..." He growled, and glared at the Echo. "Why I'm fighting like this befuddles me however." He dissolved into a green cloud of insects that swarmed around the echo. His hands and head materialized, grabbing the Echo by the shoulders and forcing it to stare at Famine straight into his eyes. "Destroy yourself." He commanded and once their eyes met, he poured every ounce of madness and horror into it, everything he himself possessed and everything he stole from Ghroth.

Famine exploded into a green mist and the Echo's foot crashed onto the floor where his prey's chest was. Confused, the Echo of the Azure Flame searched the surroundings until the third rider's gaseous form came back right in front of it with vengeance. Tendrils of smoky green attacked like claws as they latched onto the dark clone's head. Famine's from burned as every bit of insanity poured onto the Echo's mind. The third rider's ghostly facade grew stronger and stronger as every bit of contamination was forced out and onto the clone.

...but then something felt odd. The Echo wasn't flinching.

It smiled.

It was then did Famine realize that these beings were insanity, or rather, the damned forms of those they copied mixed with the corrupted psyche of their master. The rider's face soured at the thought but as the Echo's arms simply aimed for Aquila's exhausted body, he had little time to confirm. The arms moved slow, which meant his attacks did have an effect, if at all.

He'd stall this Echo if it was the last thing he'd do.

The sound of shattering glass filled the air as EclairCat's enchantment failed on him. His own Echo smirked as it charged with sword and shield.

Quote from EclairCat

[Engage the Ultimate Skill 4/30]

"Tch," EclairCat surged forward and met his equal head on. With both hands on his weapon, the Paladin delivered more powerful blows but even with that the Echo was a match. Each power blow was blocked by a steady shield and a subsequent ripple of sound.

The paladin kept his cool despite the warring times, his mind chanted as his body did combat but the Echo didn't stop. He struck harder and harder, and every time EclairCat parried, it sapped the strength out of him.

He won't survive much longer without help.



War was laughing, the events that transpired were more than satisfying in terms of battle and warfare. He dragged Wrath into the shield bubble and sat down.

War laughed at his power and sat down i

nside the bubble shield along with Sloth. He began resting and took energy from the shield along as he regained his stamina. War rests, 2/2. He also drains the shield 2/?

[/QUOTE]

Sloth groans. He looked to War's hulking form and pouts then continues to nap. Such weird creatures, being awake.



Suddenly Drone 7 slams itself onto the dome and the shield reacts. Ripples of the energy that transferred from the drone's momentum moved quickly over the bubble and War frowned.



Sloth groaned louder. This time actually opening its eyes and stared glumly at the perpetrator.

Soulfire, satisfied with the drone purge looked to his giant ally and thought. "Would it be best if I merged with my awesome giant self?"

Why not? He shrugged.

Soulfire Merged with his giant, healing

it and making it even more powerful as well as faster.[/QUOTE]

The elemental soared towards his massive ally and floated just a few feet away from its chest. Both parties glowed a powerful yellow, their heat and flames burst out like a radiating core until they matched one another. Soon, the heat itself turned visible and the waves merged. Soulfire slowly drifted into the flesh of his giant ally.

Death, oblivious to the happenings of his mortal kin, continued his work.

Death grasped the handle of his scythe

as the souls bound together more tightly and became solid, the blade still hasn't taken shape. Ethereal Dimension Reaver 5/10[/QUOTE]

The souls manifested themselves, sparked and contradicted one another but all was well. No soul could say no to Death himself. With his words, the final rider forged his weapon, hammered the burning souls into a form and cooled them with his chants.

Just a bit further off, Black ACe had finally finished off the Echo, his smile never parted with its face. As if it could ever.

Black Ace, now free of the annoyance of

the Echo of the Party Soldier, turns his attention to larger prey: Hastur.

"Time for the party to really turn up." Raising his hand, he sends a signal to Azure Kite, which is processed quickly and accepted. The SoM bots which had been acting as his protectors zoom away from their previous host, now flying to Black Ace. His mechanical tendrils shoot out to them, latching on and shifting them, merging them to his own form and giving him three new shiny toys.

Dark SoM Assimilation: 1/1

Now with Dark Rip, the Dark Golden Lance, and the three Dark SoM tendrils, he launches an assault against the accursed foe, all five weapons being put to the test.
[/QUOTE]



The murder bot's eye glowed red and relayed a message to its owner, within seconds, Azure had replied. From above, Black Ace could see three orbs burning up on reentry. The SoM orbs made their approach but the murder bot did not wait. He charged forward towards the pillar and the orbs simply followed and as soon as they caught up, several tendrils pierced through their tough armor and pulled them close. Black Ace's own code began to invade the orb's own, overwriting and optimizing whatever it thought it could.

It twirled Dark Rip and the dark golden lance and made a powerful leap towards Hastur.

===Near the spire [Goggles/Hastur]===

Goggles' eyes glowed white, as the pulses of energy increased. The towers around him grew in size as well as they forced themselves higher from their places. The GodBot suddenly stood and gazed at his hands. He closed them into fists and a pulse of energy exploded. The resulting blast radiated from him and surged around the server.

[8/11 Resting : Aquila]
[9/11 Resting : Aquila]

Aquila felt the surge hit him and it left him shocked. Strength washed over his body and left with it the pains of his struggles.

[5/30 Ultimate Skill : Eclair Cat]
[6/30 Ultimate Skill : Eclair Cat]

EclairCat's energies strengthened as the wave passed him by, the runes around him shimmered in delight as the energy fed them.

[4/? Bubble Shield : Sloth > Famine > Aquila]
[5/? Bubble Shield : Sloth > Famine > Aquila]

Sloth simply kept snoring, content.

[7/20 ??? : Haru]
[8/20 ??? : Haru]

The demonblade's darkness grew stronger, the runes around him twirled and faded in and out of existence. They erratically exploded, reformed and floated around him.

[6/10 Ethereal Dimension Reaver : Death > Aquila]
[7/10 Ethereal Dimension Reaver : Death > Aquila]

Death's souls became more obedient for the time being, allowing themselves to be forged instead of being sought out directly.

Goggles was entering the final moments of his plans.



Just above the powered Goggles was a black figure. It slammed itself onto Hastur's pillar and slowly climbed up. With both spear and scythe firmly in place on the spire, Black Ace inhaled and jumped upwards, heaving himself and his weapons upward right in front of the Unspeakable One.

The murder bot swung his scythe, only for a tentacle to catch it midway. Black Ace wasn't done however as he thrusted the dark lance at Hastur's face. The lance decelerated as it approached until it fully stopped. The SoM tenrils reared over Black Ace and fired their encoded projectiles but the Unspeakable One simply laughed.

<So oblivious,> It said. <Not an observant race are you? Nevermind, it is beneficial either way.>

Conquest walked over to the drone and g

rabbed it by the head. "If one arrow is not enough, I will overpower its defense!" The drone sparked and collapsed, and the rider drew out all its energy and his own energy, leaving behind simply a mechanical shell. He dissolved his bow into raw energy as well and collected it all together. Energy charge 2/2 The ball he accumilated branched off into smaller orbs that floated around then split apart, taking different vantage points. Conquest simply pointed at Hastur and each orb opened fire, spitting out energy bolts like a machine gun, attacking Hastur from every angle. Conquest rains hell upon Hastur.
[/QUOTE]

The drone fell with a clank as Conquest drank every ounce of energy within it. With that energy, the first rider formed collected it onto his bow and allowed it to dissolve onto the air. The energy coalesced into multiple orbs that Conquest commanded.

The orbs of light drifted skyward and surrounded Hastur.

Conquest raised his hand. "One way of conquering," he smiled then dropped his hand as it was an axe chopping wood. "Is with with overpowering force!"

The orbs glowed white and imploded, beams of energy bombarded the spire until it began to collapse onto the pit below, taking Black Ace and Hastur along with it. The orbs never stopped however, continuing to pellet the pit with bolts of light.

Meanwhile, the Sins had their own battle. Pride kept shooting bu the Echo simply ignored it. He turned to Greed.

"Holy shit! Did you see that? That guy

wrecked Gluttony!" Pride laughed hysterically. He then hissed at the Echo's consistency to dodge and snapped Superbia in half, "Faster, stronger." He commanded and they morphed into duo-crossbows and he began shooting faster and more darts. Pride isn't taking any of that Echo's shit.
[/QUOTE]

Pride snapped his bow in two which then morphed into the twins.

"Keep him busy!" Greed yelled as he pulled back towards his brother. Wisps of energy escaped his hands.

"Is there anything else to do?" Pride retorted as he rained bolts onto the Echo.

Greed drew back and began pulling out h

is fingernails and teeth, leaving behind simply normal teeth and nails. He collected all the sharp pieces and crushed them in his hands, dispersing the white powder into the air. "Bone Cemetery." The white powder collected together into clouds which he pulled out two swords that looked to be made out of the same material he had crushed into powder. The clouds seem to follow Greed as he charged forward, synchronizing with his brother's wave of bolts to dash in and out, constantly pulling out another sword after another. Greed isn't going to lose to his brother.

Greed charged, the bone white cloud manifested a blade whenever Greed decided to pull one out of it. Greed and Pride danced with the Echo, their synchronized strikes against the seemingly effortless moves of the Echo.

The suddenly one of Pride's bolts got through. It struck the Echo in the neck and forced the enemy back. Greed took the opportunity and surged foward and pulled out twin scimitars from the cloud. He slashed relentlessly, to and fro and advanced when the Echo retreated. The clone blocked and parried but felt the pressure increase as Pride inserted himself with bolts that came from behind.

"We have you now!" Pride yelled.

The Echo manifested another blade from his shadowy body and began to block both Sins from both sides.

With his Echo preocuppied, Haru kept his charge and focus. Erratic runes appeared from the void and soon they fixated their positions, no longer chaotic.

As the runes kept on coming, you could n

otice that most of them shone a dark black glow, and that the ground seemed to be moving...
[??? 10/20][/QUOTE]

The ground shook below him, reacting to the power that grew within the demonblade. Pebbles and stones floated inches from the ground. Everything seemed to be getting better.

The Sin Gluttony, however, was down. With much effort on his part, he degenerated and slithered towards the shield dome.

Gluttony's body sparked and ballooned.

The Sin no longer having enough energy to maintain a more appealing form, it degenerated back into its demonic form which was simply an amoebic blob covered in mouths filled with gnashing teeth. The slime crawled over to the remaining Byakhee Riders, consuming the corpses and whatever else was there. However it stayed aw
