Apologies for the time it took me to write this up.

Turn 7:
aelo's exploits, her code was inside the system as was his. He was aware. Of all of it. Information bloomed inside of him, he knew most of the users now. Their posts, their birthdays, their locations and ip addresses. With a snap of his fingers, he knew the location of every active user in the field against him. He didn't focus on one; he knew better to focus on just one of them. There would be hell to pay for forcing him to speed up a delicate process.

He raised both hands, a faint image of the two spires flickered from his arms. SP trembled and the quadrangle cracked and quaked until it entirely separated from the ground. Where Bob was standing, he had lifted the quad along with the database spire into the air. He opened both palms and placed them in front of himself. A sphere of energy enveloped the floating island.

Avast watched as the island took to the sky. At that moment, it latched itself to the bottom of the floater. It would wait for its moment to strike. Perhaps there would be a better time.

"I require your assistance, great colossi!" Bob said, his voice a dull bellow. Sixteen idols appeared in a circle around Bob, some of their forms reminiscent of actual animals and others, simply otherworldly. Three of the idols dropped to the ground and their eyes glowed.

[1/16 : Shadow of the Colossus - Bob, the Rogue Code]

Its tracks are well hidden...
Shaking the earth, its gaze is upon thee...

"Dirge!"

Out from the hole that the quadrangle island had left behind, surged a massive stone like wurm. It sped across the field with a mighty roar, burrowing deep into structures only to pierce right through to the next. It was headed straight for Aquila and Haru.

[2/16 : Shadow of the Colossus - Bob, the Rogue Code]

Brimstone and ash rain from above...
Wreathed in fire, it burns the heavens...

Out from the sky itself a massive colossi, it dove straight down and unfurled its wings to catch itself. Three beats and it was shooting back skyward, the very air heated and singed. Its wings and body began to glow dull red as it soared through the sky then swooping down, to strike at Azure.

Caelo watched from her perch alongside devi. She took advantage that Bob didn't interfere with her plans as of yet.

There. That was a target confirmed. She received a small readout on the inside of her helmet, dictating this creature was named... 'Bob.' The hell? Was this another Goggles kind of name? She didn't care either way, it would die regardless. Her bow came to life, sparks guiding the arrow as she focused blue eyes on the amalgamation of code, rogue and all. She felt it surge, summoned, and she knew to strike. She she turned, settling in, and called the bow to life, the arrow trailing purple fire as it was launched, rocketing at the head of Bob.

Connecting or not, it didn't matter; any hostile forces would be caught in the tether it brought within twenty meters, slowing them or killing them outright, a useful tool for the rest of her team. Meanwhile, the rest of her focus went to calling Fireborn, feeling the surge of power rise up in her chest, a small flurry of sparks escaping from her hands as she took in the new charge.

[ ASHBRINGER - 2/2 - USED ON BOB ]
[ FIREBORN - 6/10 - +4 CHARGE FROM WHITE DWARFS ]

[2/2 : AshBringer - Caelo, the Phantom Archer]
[6/10 : FireBorn - Caelo, the Phantom Archer]

She aimed, her bow slowly stabilizing in her grasp. Purple energy formed a mist around the bow until it all swirled to the arrow's tip. She made sure of her target, she slowed her breathing, kept her eye on the target and released. The arrow soared through the air; a trail of brilliant purple seared the sky.

The arrow collided with the energy shield, its energy rippled along the sphere.

"Caelo," Bob muttered. "Did you really think that teeny arrow could penetrate the shield?"

"No," she smiled, both were rogue programs. Distance meant nothing when talking to one another. "It was meant to slow you."

Bob looked to the arrow and saw the purple energy spread across the entire shield. Slowly, it darkened the Rogue Code's field of view until it turned completely opaque.

"No matter," Bob smiled. "I've got work I need to do."

Suddenly, the purple sphere's insides shook and lightning slashed at the remaining idols rendering them completely useless. The two on the ground, however, were still active. Bob raised his hands, blocking the bolts of electricity or redirecting them to the ground. "Tch! You cretin."

"Stay busy, Bob," Caelo replied with a mock salute. The Phantom Archer then passively looked to her ally: a mass of writhing flesh and random body parts.

Devi's body parts shuffled, their grim chorus echoed into the sky and down to the ground.

The MeatShield Horror now near its master hums its own tune to add to the grim chorus of its master. From its shields fell a drop of flesh each, the fleshlings formed as they fell, bone and muscle rearranged until their bodies mimicked human babies sans the head. Three eyes popped from their torso as they stared out into the world. Their birth father slammed the shields onto the ground to get their attention and whispered the orders.

[1/1 : Fleshling Birth - MeatShield Horror]

[1/1 : Fleshling Birth - MeatShield Horror]

The two fleshlings abided without question and ran towards devi with their stubby legs. Upon reaching a few feet of the horror of the forum, they leapt into its mass. Arms from devi's massive form shot out from the side to grab the fleshlings and drag them into the very center. The fleshlings' bones were crushed as they were forced to fit into holes smaller than themselves but they did not weep or scream. Their duty done and that was all that mattered.

[8/40 : Eldritch Summoning - devi, Horror of the Forum]

Caelo was quick to look away only to see Lamitrov just behind her.

"You been there awhile?" She asked out of the blue, distracting herself from devi and the bone crunching.

Lamitrov puts on a pair of sunglasses be

fore resuming his work out.
Work out [6/10][/QUOTE]

"Just arrived a few minutes ago," he said as he placed his sunglasses on. He began to perform some sit-ups and his breathing tightened up. "Yeah, give me a sec."

[6/10 : Limbering Up - Lamitrov]

Xyskal managed to control his respawn and ported himself somewhere safe. He could sense his allies locations but they were faint. A bit far, he may say but safety first. He snapped his fingers and a mask of silver and gold manifested onto his face.

Xyskal respawned some distance away from

the battlefield, noticeably grumpy.
He extended his hand to his right, and summoned a transparent light blue mask in the shape of a cartoon star. The mask constantly generates energy, which is then transferred to whatever is touching it. The mask has an extra 8 charges/moves per turn, (4 on it's own, and an extra 4 from the white dwarfs.[/B]
Xyskal closed his eyes and let the energy surge though him.

He focused on the space in front of him, and used White hole summoning, [1/1]. A white hole appeared in front of him. After a short delay, A palkia stepped though the hole, and addressed Xyskal, picking him up carefully in it's right hand. Palkia then distorted the space in front of it, creating a portal that led to high above the battlefield and charged through. [/QUOTE]

[1/1 : White Hole Summoning - Xyskal, the Cosmic Center]

The Cosmic Center, now alone and free from danger, raises his hands in front of him where a white sphere began to grow from. He smiled and then stepped back a few seconds later to allow it some room. The white hole expanded into his size before collapsing into a fine point then flattening into a disc parallel to him. The disc grew and grew until from the portal came out Palkia. The massive legendary pokemon knelt on one knee and lowered its hand to allow Xyskal on. One the Cosmic Center was safely in its palm [and holding onto its finger], the Space Pokemon ripped a hole through the world and entered through.

A little bit before Palkia walked thro

ugh the summoned portal, Xyskal glanced at the two white dwarfs he summoned. They looked a bit....malnourished. He raised his hand, and White dwarf supplement [1/1]. Solar energy escaped from his hand, surging towards the two white dwarfs. They absorbed the extra energy and expanded, increasing their lifespan expectancy exponentially.

The white dwarf helper's buff now has enough energy to last 4 turns.[/B]
[/QUOTE]

Palkia had taken the two just above the battlefield. He could see everything alongside Bob's purple sphere and his own twin white dwarves. He noticed that they began to fade, their lifespans shortened. He furrowed his brows and asked Palkia to get close to it. The huge pokemon obliged.

"Poor guardians of the night," he muttered. "Here, shine brighter and guide us."

With both hands raised for each of the twins, he allowed his powers to seep into the stars. His energy swirled around the celestials before they finally were absorbed completely. The white dwarves' glow intensified and with that, the Cosmic Center was pleased.

[Global Buff: White Dwarf Charge |Adds 4 static charges to you and your summons| - 1 of 3 turns remaining]

Azure was unprotected, hiding behind two trucks as the three battalions of droid closed in on his position.

"Surrender, global mod Azure!"

"You have been surrounded!"

The .hack// mod did not oblige and instead opted to ignore the warnings. He simply charged up his hammer.

Azure absorbs the energy of the White Dw

arf helpers, boosting his charge to 12, then charges twice himself, overcharging the GLOBAL BANHAMMER to 20/16

Wielding the mighty weapon, he points out Bob.
[/QUOTE]

Azure stood from his position. From his hand the global banhammer, banded with purple and red, began to form and solidify. "Do not test me," Azure replied. "I could cut a path through your kind in moments with this weapon."

The droids ceased fire and looked to one another.

"Can he really?"

"Nah, there's too many of us."

"Send the mod to his death."

All the droids raised their weapons and fired. A barrage of red lasers converged onto Azure's location from all directions. Apparently, the droids had also occupied the buildings. Even then, Azure put up a fight. His hammer deflected the energy back at the machines like a master jedi, swooping into their ranks to slam them into the trash bin. Everything was going well, he had thought. After all this, it would be Bob.

That was until, the sound of a bird of prey alarmed him to the presence of something new.

Before Azure knew it, he was wrapped in deep red flames that immediately bloomed into white. His entire body reduced to a pixelated ash as the Phoenix landed onto his ashpile. Its ostrich like neck craned down to view the ashes before raising it high to screech. The droids raised their weapons in triumph. The global banhammer falls to the ground, useless without its master.

[Azure was burned to a crisp. He later respawns.]

The pokemon sensed its master's demise looked back briefly but carried on. Its masters orders were absolute.

Meanwhile, Mal hightailed it for the Ch

aos Sorcerer. Gathering its power, it uses Stone Edge to launch the sorcerer into the air, before swiftly dodging about to slam it down with a Sucker Punch.[/QUOTE]

In its own silence, the Mega-Absol rushed forward, oblivious to the sky above it slowly and visibly ebbing and contorting. Once it knew it was close enough, it set its sights on the Chaos Sorcerer. It raised its head blade and the earth abided. Shards of stone exploded upwards towards the Sorcerer, slashing at the warp's magician with deadly force. The Chaos Sorcerer was forced down to the ground but managed to stand.

"Creature!" He exclaimed. "Daemons! Slaughter that thing!"

The daemons looked to Mal and threw balls of warpfire at it, only for the Mega-Absol to dodge this way then that as it sped closer to its main target.

"Its after me!" He muttered. "Izch'vah ko tohl!"

He raised his staff and several orbs of warp energy were flung towards the incoming Mal. The pokemon swerved and leapt but the orbs began to follow. Mal grit its teeth as it raced for the sorcerer. With adrenaline pumping through its veins, Mal's head blade exploded in a purple energy and he connected it with the Chaos Sorcerer's torso. The mage felt the ground meet his back and his chest armor so dented that it was difficult to breathe.

Mal skidded on his feet as he stared into the incoming warp orbs. He was slightly tired and he accepted the orbs attack. Several explosions leave Mal inside a dust cloud. The daemons run towards it as they fling warp fire blindly into the column of dust. The daemons however, ignored the Replicated and in doing so left themselves open to a counter assault. From behind, the Replicated began their slaughter.

Aquila and Haru watched as a pokemon just saved their asses.

"We talk about this to no one," Haru muttered.

"It isn't even a legendary," Aquila added. Cortana suddenly chimed in.

"Sir we hit another time flux!" Cortana

reported. "Thank god..." she whispered. "Pushing the Four Seasons through!" A portal slit open high in the sky opening up to teveal a massive frigate. The words U.N.S.C Four Seasons painted in white on its side, flanked by the insiginia of Aquila, on the left a massive gravity hammer and on the right, wings. U.N.S.C Four Seasons warped in 20/20.
[/QUOTE]

[20/20 : U.N.S.C Four Seasons - Aquila, the Spartan]

The portal unveiled a massive ship, its shadow darkened the ground below it and Aquila had to stop to admire the majesty that was the U.N.S.C. Four Seasons. He whistled as the ship had completed the warp in.

"I cry a little every time I see it." A

quila confessed to Haru, "It's just so beautiful." He laughed. "Alright shipmaster, give our buddies Bob, that lizard thing."

"SCP-682." Sigma corrected.

"Yea him, and these crazy idiots in front of us a nice warm welcoming gift from us. Actually not warm, make it hot like lead"

The elite nodded, "Orders received. Charging all cannons!" Loading U.N.S.C Four Seasons payload 6/6, one for each enemy

"Motherfucker!" Aquila's visor showed him the damage report and there was a big red zero by Bob's name. "Piece of shit son of a cock-sucking goddammit!" He put Haru down and looked at Dirge, the Chaos Sorcerer, and that ass of a soldier. His nanomites went back into his armor, repairing the chinks he had from the previous fights. "I can't believe I'm being called a coward by a guy who rode a giant worm! Least I ran, you too fat and slow in that armor to book it? Anyways hey right now not a good time. Gotta kill your boss, you understand right? No? Fine I'll kill you guys too... cept that thing." Aquila pointed at Dirge with his hammer. "Tell big worm guy to book it. Go tell it to eat some buildings or something, chew on a few rocks. I'll play with it later, or Haru can play with it now. They can play Fetch the Time Warden."

Cortana worked on Aquila's mainframe, wiring the Spartan suit. 6/6 All AIs online. "Sir all AIs are online."

"Wonderful," the spartan cracked his neck. "Now time to kill these bastards." He radioed to the frigate. "Shipmaster i need O.D.S.Ts on my location, began decryoing Subject #466, and fucking kill whatever you see fit."

1/1 O.D.S.Ts. Five pods shot out of the spaceship to land behind Aquila, out came the elite paratroopers. Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. Each armed with a battle rifle and a Spartan Laser, they dropped to one knee and began charging their cannons. All five soldiers 6/6. "Fire when you see an opening!" Aquila commanded. "The one he's," he pointed at his clone, "is going to make for you." The five soldiers and one clone nodded and focused in on their target, the wounded Chaos Sorcerer.

Unfreezing Subject #466, aka War 1/7 Deep within the chasms of the frigate sits four cryopods, and one lights up, the window still caked with ice so nothing could be seen underneath, but the process was underway.

u.N.S.C charging cannons 4/4 "Open fire upon the droid battalions. If a shot opens on SCP-682 or Bob take it!" Shipmaster slammed his fist on his arm rest. "To your battle stations go go go!" The crew scrambled into positon, each using a complex algorithim to track and shoot, making sure as many as the shots as possible counted.

"Alright Something of Corn, let's dance." Aquila spun his gravity hammer, charging a special electrical engine within the body of the beast. 6/6 charging Mjollnir. Lightning crackled across the frame of its body.

[OOC: Xyskal those dwarves ain't gonna explode at the end of their life span and destroy my frigate right? Or turn into a black hole and rip it apart?]

Palkia and Xyskal watched the onslaught from the saftey of the skies, before noticing Bob, relatively unharmed under his forcefield.

Palkia let out a roar and unleashed it's Galactic shield-eroding piss [3/3]

This was no regular urine, for each ounce of urine contained the heat of a thousand dying suns, each one simultaneously going supernova.

After Palkia's legendary bladders were empited, Palkia roared again, releasing its Spacial Rend: teleportation [3/3]

The space around all allies weapons/attacks has been distorted, allowing them to instantly hit their target with 100% accuracy.

Some distance away, the star post began to spin faster, increasing its charge gain per turn to 10. Next to it, A faint image of the star post appeared, and a tether formed between the two star posts, combing their energy.

Charging Black hole eater [40/75]

Sevientorr's eyes dimmed, and he folded his hands, concentrating. Bright crimson light swirled around him, turning the shield into a ball of humming energy.

Energize: 1/1

Sevientorr gains 10 charges!

The shield's light dimmed to near darkness, and shadows began to swirl around it.

Energize II: 2/2

Sevientorr gains 20 charges! (That would bring his full charge count to 29)

The alien chuckled to itself, monitoring the presences of the energies outside. This situation was hardly worth his time, but the core concept of it seemed like a fun distraction. He could always annihilate galaxies in some other spare time of his. Right now, this was where the real entertainment was at.

Remember why you're here, Sevientorr.

At the sound of his so-called master's voice, Sevientorr's eyes burned bright with irritation.

"You know..." he began, gently pulling his hands apart. A small orb of red energy swelled to life, whirling at incalculable speeds. "...I just realized something. You are like a part of my mind right now. So all I have to do is find a way to block you out. Hmmm..."

Spyder, who had been mentally monitoring the statuses of his replicates, looked over his shoulder at Sevientorr.

"Don't you dare." he hissed menacingly.

Through the near-transparent wall of the shield, Sevientorr fixed the digital being with a withering look. "I still need you though, and Cassandra knows it. When I succeed in blocking her, and I will succeed in blocking her, you will be unaffected. Why? Because she actually cares about these creatures out there that she calls 'allies'."

Spyder shook his head, not wanting to believe it.

"You'll become a summon." Sevientorr continued. "A weak, worthless, summon."

The digital being's eyes flickered.

"You wouldn't."

Sevientorr laughed. "You know that I would. Once she's blocked off, I can do things according to my will. Not hers."

Spyder turned towards the being, his data skin whirling in agitation. Amused, Sevientorr watched him approach, unflinching.

"What are you going to do?" the creature asked, a slight mocking edge to its tone. "Attack me?"

Spyder said nothing and continued to walk. He stopped before Sevientorr and then just stared. Sevientorr shrugged and turned his back on him.

"You know that if you kill me, you'll kill your creator too." he said, his wings folding and unfolding idly. "Not that I'm even capable of death anyways. She on the other hand..."

The being left the sentence without an end, leaving the potential finish burning in the ears of its listener.

Spyder turned away. Cassandra was silent, and a chill ran through him. Had Sevientorr already blocked her? Sevientorr nodded, looking over its shoulder at Spyder.

"Yes." he said. "I did."

Spyder knew something was off, but he still remained silent. Slowly, Sevientorr turned towards Spyder, his hands still pulsing with red energy, but somehow the stuff looked even brighter and redder than before.

"Congratulations Spyder..." Sevientorr sneered. "You're now a summon."

"I'll kill you..." Spyder responded, fury in his eyes.

"You'll try." was the reply. "You'll fail."

Spyder lashed out, tentacles of bright green data streaming from his legs. Deconstruction: 2/2

His attack got within an inch of the shield, disintegrating before coming in contact with it.

"Tsk..." Sevientorr said, folding his arms. "Typical. Your digital attacks won't work on me. I'm not of your technological world. I surpass all realities...but, you must have known that already. No? Well then, what a waste."

When Spyder didn't move, Sevientorr spread his wings and his eyes burned bright like dying stars.

"Do you want me to replace you with Virion?" he threatened, raising his left hand.

A shock jolted through Spyder's body, and he saw some of his code beginning to shift to a purple shade. His rage evaporated immediately, and he turned away.

"No." he replied, turning his back on Sevientorr.

"Good." the being responded, lowering his hand. "I was afraid you were going to become a problem."

Still irritated, Spyder cleared his mind and tried to focus on summoning. What a fool he'd been to waste those extra charges. Worm Summon: 2/2

WORM SUMMON INFO: This virus replicates as soon as it is summoned. Its next turn will cause all units it has spawned to attack.

He'd have to tread very carefully. When this was all over, Sevientorr was going to pay.

Mal continues with his onslaught, now attacking with another Stone Edge, before swiping all about himself with a Data Slash, the attack charged with the power of the Azure mod's signature move: Data Drain.


Azure, in the meantime, summons the Banhammer to himself, once more wielding the mighty, overcharged weapon. He raises it above his head. Enemy Ban: 8/8 He slams the hammer down, a wave of banning power smashing across the field, striking all those not aligned with the SP Forces.

His eyes began to fill with energy.

A titan. This would be fun. She couldn't touch it directly; that would be left to Azure and his mod power. Dropping off the tower she'd landed on, dropping into an open window (why were there even windows, she had to wonder.), the phantom hid and focused, meditating. Flames licked at her back, sparks falling in the pattern of angel wings behind her as she closed her eyes, ignoring the madness beyond her den, hidden from the battle. Open yourself to the Light. Glimpse, for a few rapturous moments, the truth beyond the powers you wield. She didn't need much else, just to stand, calling forth her weapons of light.

The Blessed of Khorne leapt and landed onto the ground a few feet away from Dirge. He brandished his axe and pointed its end at Aquila.

"Your head will make a fine addition to my master's throne," he yelled. "Sorcerer! Make short work of his minions, I'm sure your state is not a hindrance?"

The Sorcerer stood weakly but nodded. "It is not," he replied.

"Then splatter their blood on the ground and prepare the ritual!" The Blessed screamed as he charged for Aquila. The Spartan was ready however.

The Blessed of Khorne opened with a slash of his axe only for Aquila to deftly dodge the strike. The Spartan held the gravity hammer with both hands before swinging it overhead at the chaos marine. The Blessed ducked at the last moment before sweeping the axe from below, catching Aquila and put him off his feet.

Before Khorne's champion could deliver the finishing blow, a barrage of laser fire pelted him. The Paratroopers had come to Aquila's aid just in time. The champion stepped back, shielding his helmet with his arm.

"Sorcerer!"

The Chaos mage was apparently busy dodging the Aquila clone's strikes. "It isn't easy for a mage of my stature to stand against a foe this close!"

The massive wurm emerged from underneath the paratroopers but were luckily able to evade the colossi's gaping maw.

Haru tipped his top hat over his eyes fo

r a second.
"You want to catch me, dogs?"
His eyes began to fill with energy.
"I have to manage time everywhere already. I don't need another disturbance."
[Level up! 2/2]
Two energy rapiers suddenly materialized in Haru and his clone's hands, as they both took the en garde stance.
"Bring it."[/QUOTE]

[2/2 : Level Up - Haru, the Time Warden]

Dirge snapped at the paratrooper's, snatching one by the leg and throwing him in the air. The wurm opened its maw to catch him and slammed it shut, severing the main body from its two feet. The rest began to open fire at the wurm, which seemed to do nothing at it. Dirge unveiled its tail from below, sweeping it at the others. Haru leapt up as the soldiers were swept out.

"Let's dance, bird chow!"

The two Time Wardens charged forward, their rapiers glistening in the light of their own glow. They thrust forward like a shining spear as Dirge reeled back and leapt forward. The Harus looked above them, the belly of the beast exposed as it dug another tunnel down into the earth. The duo turned their backs to one another, checking their surroundings.

"See anything?"

"I feel a rumble, maybe I'm hungry."

"Shi--"

The wurm emerged below them as the ground bulged and cracked. The duo split and watched as their colossi enemy roared at them both. The other paratroopers came back but Haru shooed them away.

"This is my, er, our fight, go help Aquila!" He said. The other Haru had already leapt into the air in a blindingly fantastic aerial attack.

With the beast distracted, the Haru on the ground charged forth, dodging the wurm's tail as it swept overhead. "Hyaaah!"

He pierced through Dirge's armor as the aerial Haru was deflected back into the ground by the tail sweep. Both Haru's gave each other a thumbs up. The Paratroopers went back to storming the Chaos Sorcerer.

Up in the sky, the Cosmic Center and his pokemon watched from the sky as if the stars themselves. Xyskal crossed his arms as he noticed Bob in relative safety.

Palkia and Xyskal watched the onslaught

from the saftey of the skies, before noticing Bob, relatively unharmed under his forcefield.

Palkia let out a roar and unleashed it's Galactic shield-eroding piss [3/3]

This was no regular urine, for each ounce of urine contained the heat of a thousand dying suns, each one simultaneously going supernova. [/QUOTE]

[3/3 : Urine of the Stars - Palkia > Xyskal, the Cosmic Center]

The legendary pokemon unleashed its urine into the world, shining bright like a white stream of hot metal. It drenched the orb that Bob called his shield and began to erode the surface. From within, Bob was too busy to notice his defenses were crumbling but he was countering the lightning bolts and hurtling it back at Caelo's corruption.

"Hah!" He exclaimed. Slowly, he gathered the bolt's energy with each redirection, his very form now cackling with electrical doom.

The shield slowly withered away but the total effects would come to fruition soon. Right now, Palkia was content.

After Palkia's legendary bladders were

empited, Palkia roared again, releasing its Spacial Rend: teleportation [3/3]

The space around all allies weapons/attacks has been distorted, allowing them to instantly hit their target with 100% accuracy.

Some distance away, the star post began to spin faster, increasing its charge gain per turn to 10. Next to it, A faint image of the star post appeared, and a tether formed between the two star posts, combing their energy.

Charging Black hole eater [40/75][/QUOTE]

Xyskal nodded to his pokemon, signalling another command. Palkia raised one of its claws into the air then a pulse of stellar energy rippled throughout the field!

[3/3 : Spacial Rend - Palkia > Xyskal, the Cosmic Center]

[Each player |NOT SUMMON| had a one-shot, sure shot hit!]

"Excellent!" he said. A screech from behind him alerted to one other presence, a bird of prey soared through in a cloak of fire and destruction. It unleashed a powerful wave of heat that burned the sky as it passed. Xyskal was caught unawares by the passing and he was burned to a crisp. Palkia shielded himself from the unprecedented attack with a raise of its arms.

[Xyskal was burned by a passing Phoenix]

[40/75 : Black Hole Eater - Xyskal, the Cosmic Center]

Out in SP Bluff, the starwheel spun faster and faster, faint images of its pair in another dimension began to flicker into this reality.

Now Sevientorr, Cassandra's form took a more sinister tone. Spyder just beside him couldn't keep his cool.

Sevientorr's eyes dimmed, and he folded

his hands, concentrating. Bright crimson light swirled around him, turning the shield into a ball of humming energy.

Energize: 1/1

Sevientorr gains 10 charges!

The shield's light dimmed to near darkness, and shadows began to swirl around it.

Energize II: 2/2

Sevientorr gains 20 charges! (That would bring his full charge count to 29)

The alien chuckled to itself, monitoring the presences of the energies outside. This situation was hardly worth his time, but the core concept of it seemed like a fun distraction. He could always annihilate galaxies in some other spare time of his. Right now, this was where the real entertainment was at.

Remember why you're here, Sevientorr.

At the sound of his so-called master's voice, Sevientorr's eyes burned bright with irritation.

"You know..." he began, gently pulling his hands apart. A small orb of red energy swelled to life, whirling at incalculable speeds. "...I just realized something. You are like a part of my mind right now. So all I have to do is find a way to block you out. Hmmm..."

Spyder, who had been mentally monitoring the statuses of his replicates, looked over his shoulder at Sevientorr.

"Don't you dare." he hissed menacingly.

Through the near-transparent wall of the shield, Sevientorr fixed the digital being with a withering look. "I still need you though, and Cassandra knows it. When I succeed in blocking her, and I will succeed in blocking her, you will be unaffected. Why? Because she actually cares about these creatures out there that she calls 'allies'."

Spyder shook his head, not wanting to believe it.

"You'll become a summon." Sevientorr continued. "A weak, worthless, summon."

The digital being's eyes flickered.

"You wouldn't."

Sevientorr laughed. "You know that I would. Once she's blocked off, I can do things according to my will. Not hers."

Spyder turned towards the being, his data skin whirling in agitation. Amused, Sevientorr watched him approach, unflinching.

"What are you going to do?" the creature asked, a slight mocking edge to its tone. "Attack me?"

Spyder said nothing and continued to walk. He stopped before Sevientorr and then just stared. Sevientorr shrugged and turned his back on him.

"You know that if you kill me, you'll kill your creator too." he said, his wings folding and unfolding idly. "Not that I'm even capable of death anyways. She on the other hand..."

The being left the sentence without an end, leaving the potential finish burning in the ears of its listener.

Spyder turned away. Cassandra was silent, and a chill ran through him. Had Sevientorr already blocked her? Sevientorr nodded, looking over its shoulder at Spyder.

"Yes." he said. "I did."

Spyder knew something was off, but he still remained silent. Slowly, Sevientorr turned towards Spyder, his hands still pulsing with red energy, but somehow the stuff looked even brighter and redder than before.

"Congratulations Spyder..." Sevientorr sneered. "You're now a summon."

"I'll kill you..." Spyder responded, fury in his eyes.

"You'll try." was the reply. "You'll fail."

Spyder lashed out, tentacles of bright green data streaming from his legs. Deconstruction: 2/2

His attack got within an inch of the shield, disintegrating before coming in contact with it.

"Tsk..." Sevientorr said, folding his arms. "Typical. Your digital attacks won't work on me. I'm not of your technological world. I surpass all realities...but, you must have known that already. No? Well then, what a waste."

When Spyder didn't move, Sevientorr spread his wings and his eyes burned bright like dying stars.

"Do you want me to replace you with Virion?" he threatened, raising his left hand.

A shock jolted through Spyder's body, and he saw some of his code beginning to shift to a purple shade. His rage evaporated immediately, and he turned away.

"No." he replied, turning his back on Sevientorr.

"Good." the being responded, lowering his hand. "I was afraid you were going to become a problem."

Still irritated, Spyder cleared his mind and tried to focus on summoning. What a fool he'd been to waste those extra charges. Worm Summon: 2/2

WORM SUMMON INFO: This virus replicates as soon as it is summoned. Its next turn will cause all units it has spawned to attack.

He'd have to tread very carefully. When this was all over, Sevientorr was going to pay.[/QUOTE]

Spyder was hurt but he couldn't allow it to cloud the current mission. Cassandra was still in there and Bob was out here, Sevientorr can wait. If Bob is loose on the world, not even Sevientorr can stop him.

[2/2 Worm : cSEaVIsENsTOaRRndra, the Spyder]

From Sevientorr's hand, a tiny virus had spawned in place. It was tiny sure, but it suddenly split in two... then four. The reformed Cassandra threw them into the air like seeds into a garden. "Spread my lovelies!"

The batallions spot her however and open fire. "There!" One of the droids called out. "Take her out!

A hail of red energy attacked Sevientorr and Spyder, who immediately took cover behind some cars. Heavy bombardment from above kept the droids from advancing but were successful in pinning them down. "We have Cassandra!" The droids confirmed to one another. "Send in the Vultures!"

From above, screeches could be heard as Vulture droids swooped from the sky and moved towards the Four Seasons. They accompanied the Phoenix.

The helmsman of the Infinity-class starship stood from his chair as they got visual on a large bird of prey heading their way.

"Lock onto that! Do not let it --"

The bird unleashed a powerful stream of fire at the ship, slowly depleting the shields at an unimaginable rate.

"Shit! Shields down to 80 -- no 50 percent!" One of the men yelled.

"Take it out of the sky," the captain exclaimed. "I want it on a silver platter later."

"Aye sir!"

All cannons began to lock onto the winged colossi only for another wave of damage to rock the ship. Vulture droids began to their aerial assault as the Phoenix continued its fiery fly by.

"We won't last if this keeps up, sir."

Below the starship, another pokemon played its part. Mal skirted the edges of the fight until he found his opening against the Chaos Sorcerer. Aquila's clone swept his hammer once then twice as the chaos mage attempted to dodge the Paratrooper's attacks.

Mal continues with his onslaught, now at

tacking with another Stone Edge, before swiping all about himself with a Data Slash,

"They're worse than seagulls." Shipmaster growled. "Shoot those rats with wings down! Charge the Main battery, we'll shoot them out of the sky all at once."

Four individual technicians pulled keys out of their pockets and loaded them in, unlocking access to a red button. "Arming Main battery!" They repeated as they slammed down on the button. Outside, the four cannons that were at the nose of the frigate glowed orange, collecting balls of energy. Main battery charging 4/4 The four balls shot off small lasers that joined together a little bit ahead, creating a pyramid of energy that solidified, that then shot a small beam straight through. It wasn't the cannon itself, it was its flight path. As with a loud scream like the dropping of a meteor and a flash of light, the sky was illuminated for a brief second by a laser beam the size of the frigate itself that sliced through the sky, aiming to obliterate everything that was in front of the U.N.S.C Four Seasons.

"Some may have survived the attack, man those Anti-air turrets!" Shipmaster waved his hands and soldiers manned their stations. Manning anti-air turrets.

Meanwhile in the bowels of the ship, the decryoing was continuing unimpeded. Decryoing Subject 466, War, 2/7

"Thank you." Aquila quipped as he felt the purple wave pass through him and he stared at his free target. Spinning the hammer again, watching larger bolts crackle across it, he winded up before smashing down on the Chaos Space Marine as if he was a Wack-a-Mole. 6/6 overcharging Mjollnir

As if that wasn't enough, the clone leapt into the air, spinning to increase his velocity before slamming down on Aquila's hammer like it was a nail that was to be driven in further.

The O.D.S.Ts swapped out for their battle rifles and opened fire, hitting whichever part of the Blessed of Khorne was visible to them at the time.

"Dang, we aren't bad!"
"Yeah, maybe we can try something different now."
Haru began to spin his rapier and dance around as multiple blue swords began to rise around him and his ally.
[Sword Dance: 2/2] Any damage Haru or the Clone takes will be countered by the swords.
His clone meanwhile switched to the awp and began to steady his aim.
[M_e_M_e bullet 2/4]

[OOC: uh...okay. Sevientorr somehow was able to spawn worms. Don't worry ErrorBlender. I got it covered. :)]

As Sevientorr threw the worms into the air, Spyder couldn't help but giggle a tiny bit. The supreme destroyer fixed its gaze on him and then laughed unexpectedly in response.

"You saw that...didn't you?" Sevientorr asked.

Spyder nodded. "Yup. How'd you like using my attack?"

"It was...interesting...considering the fact that I'm supposed to be unable to assist, move, or attack while I'm shielded."

Spyder nodded, feeling awkward. That had been weird.

The two nodded at each other for a moment, and then got serious again.

Sevientorr made a knuckle-crack motion, and his shield shattered, its fragments surging into him.

The broken shield gifts Sevientorr 40 charges! (total charge count = 69)

Wings twitching in anticipation, Sevientorr turned back to the battlefield. The banhammer wave smacked into him, nearly forcing him to the ground. Rainbow-colored energy swirled around him, and he recovered almost instantly. Sevientorr's gaze locked onto Azure, and all five of his eyes narrowed. The fool. Even if he'd stopped Cassandra from speaking to him, her power was still in him, and had granted him resistance to the hammer's effects. She was a part of him after all.

Deciding not to punish the imbecile, Sevientorr turned his attention back to Bob. Such a fault could be overlooked. They had a common enemy. Dealing with Azure was hardly worth his time. Besides, Bob seemed to be trying to make himself god-like. Eyeing the colossi, Sevientorr shook his head. It was sad, really. Everything Bob had done so far (that he could see had taken place by riffling through the recent memories of Cassandra's avatar) was...at the very least...amusing. And that was just putting it lightly.

For a moment, Sevientorr wished he wasn't such a scaled-down version of himself. If he was his true form here...everything would cease to exist, providing him with the energy he needed to destroy another galaxy. This was the purpose of his existence. But...it was kind of fun being among the insignificant races for a change. He hated to admit it, but this experience was becoming more interesting the longer he was in this form.

Meanwhile, Spyder peered out from behind the cars, sensing the worms he'd summoned.

The worms glowed with green energy, and each one replicated into 100 units. Rapid Replication: 2/2 x 4 (there are now 400 little worms) Once finished, the worms surged through the air, zipping right for Bob. However, they turned at the last moment, setting their sights on a bigger target...682. On hit, the worms will enter the being's digital form and destroy everything they come in contact with.

Sevientorr waved his hand, and six swirls of red light burst to life around him. Dragon Summon: 60/10 (One dragon takes 10 charges to call, so he's spawned 6 of them) (charge total is now 9)

Moments later, six dragons replaced the light.

Fire dragons = Ember and Blaze
Lightning dragon = Shock
Water dragon = Aqua
Wind dragon = Vortex
Earth dragon = Terra

"Master..." the summons chorused, bowing before Sevientorr. "...we have come."

Sevientorr nodded, and then pointed at the droid armies. "Shock, you, Vortex, and Terra will take the droids. Ember, Blaze, you assist Spyder's worms against 682."

The dragons flapped their wings, surging off to do their master's bidding. Aqua watched them go, and then crouched before Sevientorr, her tail waving slightly back and forth, wings spread and ready. Sevientorr nodded at her, and looked up at the sky.

As if responding to some silent command, Aqua burst into the air. She circled a few times, eyeing the phoenix colossi, and then she swept towards it.



Spyder curled his legs around him, focusing. Summoning Norton Antivirus: 2/2

A ring of bright yellow code swirled into existence. At Spyder's command, the creature cloned itself. Replication: 1/1. The new duplicate repeated the action, until there were eight rings orbiting around Spyder. He flicked his hand, and each ring fastened itself to Spyder. Soon, each of the digital being's spinal legs ended in a sharp yellow point. Each of his fingers ended in sharp yellow claws, glowing with power.

Meanwhile, Avast left its main swarm with Bob and zipped back to its master. Spyder and Avast then flew to aid Aquila. The X-shaped antivirus burned bright, charging up its next attack and surging ahead of its master. Self-Destruct - Avast: 2/2

Avast has activated its termination protocol and will explode on impact with its target! All its duplicates will explode likewise, but the replicates will only cause blinding flashes and knockback, no damage.

If everything went well, Avast would hit the Blessed of Khorne first. Smarter now after its experiences with Bob, Avast will also look for an opening before attacking.

Spyder surged towards Aquila's enemy, bursting into a swarm of scattered numbers.

After Avast explodes, Spyder will reform behind Khorne and go for a full backstab (all blades in once before springing clear)

As if operating under orders other than their own, Spyder's nine leftover duplicates suddenly burst into the air, zipping towards the Vulture droids above. The creatures wove through the ships, each one firing five highly explosive supernova missiles into the vehicular chaos. Missile Bombardment: 2/2

Spyder's duplicates engage the Vulture droid swarm!

Each lock-on missile was intended to track down and destroy one ship. However, the resulting explosion would likely be powerful enough to wipe out anything unfortunate enough to be within the 30 foot spherical blast range.

NOTE: the missiles will not harm any allied units or players.

Once the missiles had been fired, the Spyder duplicates returned to the ground, intent on assisting Haru and his duplicate against Dirge.

Spear Storm [3/5]
The magic circles begin to glow a bright red, with streams of magic flowing around lamitrov as he hovers in the air.
