| This is the giant city of Xerxes sitting within the Otherworld desert. There is much crime going on in Xerxes, for there is also the battle between Hellbenders and Godsend. Post as you please. |
HamnFeb 11, 2012 1:19 PM
 |
| "So this is Xerxes" Ia said to herself.Along side her was her long time friend Kirin.The city was not much to look at but it was different from the vast sea of sand outside so it was a welcome site for sore eye."Come on Kirin let go find the other Godsend" motioning with her hand for Kirin to follow her. |
 |
| August looks glances behind himself from the ramen shop at Ia for a moment as she walks by with Kirin. "A Godsend..", he whispered to himself. August got up and walked away into the opposite direction than Ia, turning into an alleyway. "From what I sensed from her, she must be a high level Godsend. Perhaps one of the 7.. No matter, I do not tamper with ones who have done nothing to me yet." OOC: Halves are kind of hated between everyone. The one dead giveaway is their eye color, it's always turquoise. Though he does wear sunglasses.. |
|
| Meanwhile ...In the bowels of the city, screams could be heard, as two Godsends came face to face with their worst nightmare. "The....Tainted Queen" one gasped, as his body was swallowed in black flame. The burnt corpse fell to the ground. The other froze with fear, droping its weapon as Zsazsa approached. She called forth her blade, the Muramasa, flames extending from her hands and dissapating in a second. "No...please...." whimpered the Godsend, begging for his life and on the verge of tears. "I don't wanna di..." Before he could continue, Zsazsa slashed with her blade, splitting the man cleanly in two. Her sword disappeared, and Zsazsa walked away from the scene. |
 Stop. Calm yourself. You're an idiot. |
| Looking around Ia could tell that this would sure be a livly place."Come on Kirin let go find some kind of inn.Walking farther into the city.When she was gone shadowly figure look at her from the shadow of the alley. |
|
| August's eyes widen as he looks up in the air. "There were two large bursts of energy just now. From what I felt, two Godsend and.. a Hellbender. I don't feel the Godsend anymore," he said walking down the alley. August leaps upwards onto a building, looking down over the city as a boy with spikey blonde hair races by him on what seems to be a hoverboard. The boy stops and flies back to August. "You, I know you," he said to August with a big grin. "How do you know me, boy?" August said with question. "I've seen you around, and I've even gathered stats about your skills. You're name is Aaron of August, one of the Order of 12. From what I know, no other member of the Order has been seen in ages and you're supposedly the only one left in the city. I know a-ll about you," he said maintaining the grin he had put on. "Okay boy you've done your homework now please leave, I am busy," August said in annoyance. "You want to know about that power flux a minute ago, don't you?" said the boy. "My name is Roku. It means six! You can call me Roku or Six," Roku said with glee. "Well Roku I'm curious to know how a human can detect the life flow of others.. only powerful Halves can do that seeing as though we control life essence itself. And I know you're no Godsend or Hellbender.. Neither can detect a Halve unless highly skilled at their dark or light forces. Explain your game," August said. He stared at Roku intimidatingly until Roku finally explained himself. "Oh, yeah, well you see.. I'm a tech specialist. I work on things like motors, gadgets and other electronics / transportation engineering. I'm the best at what I do, I even made this hoverboard. I harvested life essence with an extractor I made. I got it from a Hellbender, but that's not what you want to know. How I detected them is this little gadget right here," Roku lifts up his right arm and reveals a number of what look like high tech watches going up his arm. "All these control all my gear. The one here in the middle-" Roku pressed the somewhat middle watch, as a hologram popped up of the surrounding area "-is my map, built in with a life detecting system, based on the skills of Halves like you. Halves are rare, you know. It wasn't easy figuring this kind of thing out," he said turning it back off. "That's how I found you after seeing the two Godsend and Hellbender out in the city." "That's nice and all.. but I don't want you following me. I have my own business to attend. There's a Hellbender out there somewhere and curiosity has it's part in my motives. I'll have to leave now," August says leaping from the building, and then to the next and so forth. After awhile, August came right above the area where the Hellbender had caused havoc. "I feel it was here but I see noth- IN THE GROUND!", he noticed it got stronger as he focused downward. August made his way to the bowels of the city, coming across the scene that had rose not long ago. "Godsend one.. burnt up, blacker than pitch. Godsend two, sliced clean in half. Oh well.. None of my concern. I just want to find that Hellbender," he said walking an passed the bodies.. |
|
| Zsazsa strode through the citie's grimy back alleys, it residents cowering and hiding at her presence. The animals too fled from her, their attuned senses detecting the threat she posed. She had sensed the halve, who had happened across the two corpses. She didn't pay it much attention. She was in no mood for a fight right now, especially against a halve. The only she had killed those two was because they had confronted her. They were probably new, having only realised her identity after she had released her black flames. If the halve did, however, have hostile intention, she would cut him down like any other. Anyone who opposes the Black Syndicate invites death. |
| Stop. Calm yourself. You're an idiot. |
| "He's.. not here any more," August said wandering through the city. "I have a faint lock on her life energy." "I got a good lock on him!" he yelled to himself, dashing across the city to find the Hellbender's location. When flying across rooftops, August felt it more and more. His curiosity was drawing him near to the hellbender when finally, he landed on the street and calmly walked around the corner of the alleyway where the hellbender walked. "Ahh you're a woman. I didn't expect this at all. Don't worry I'm not here to fight, I just wanted to see who you were exactly.." [Entirely inside the mind] Kill her! Cut her to pieces, you can do it! You're Aaron of August you can do it! KILL HER! No not you again, why do you only talk to me around pure good and evil?! Why must you torment me so?! I will never leave you alone unless you slaughter them all, every last hellbender and godsend are nothing but dust! The halves will rule this realm! [The voice lets out a cackling laugh]. Slaughter her! Go to hell, Amos! I want you out of my head right now. I'll leave for now, but remember.. this body will be mine soon enough. A drop of sweat drips from August's forehead. "So, I saw your handiwork across the city. Quite impressive. I take it you're high level? A Black Syndicate boss maybe?" |
HamnJan 26, 2012 9:00 PM
|
| Zsazsa observes the halve that stood in front of her, taking in every detail about him in a matter of seconds. His posture, his tone of voice, the sweat dripping down his face. And the many lines that covered his body. The lines only she could see. "Zsazsa Wynter" |
| Stop. Calm yourself. You're an idiot. |
| "So that the Hellbender" Ia said from atop a buliding.Kirin was below her waiting.Jumping down next to him she gently patted him "Allrighty Kirin let go".They then start walking toward the Hellbender. |
|
| Demera was watching from a near building aswell,her presence unnoticed. "Hmmph!!" she says,crossing her arms on her chest."I'll stay here,just in case August will need my help." she says to herself.The shinning suns upon made her skin look even paler.Her hair was not catch in the usual complicated bun,but let free.A blue rose was placed near her ear,and instead of the cloak,she had on a shinny veil-like scarf placed on her shoulders,covering her back and wrapped a bit around her arms. |
 |
| "The Tainted Queen.. I should have known. What's the Alpha of Black Syndicate doing out here. Don't you have poor souls to torture?" he said, grinning. "I just thought I would check on what's happening. No much to do around here when you're an outcast." August chuckled a bit, then glared at the Tainted Queen. KILL HER! "I HAVE NO REASON AMOS LEAVE ME ALO-NE!!!!!!" August cried out in front of everyone. His eyes were frightened, he was panting and shaking. After a few seconds he reclaimed his cool. "I'm sorry about that, I get carried away sometimes," and for a brief moment, August thought he felt another Halve. No it must be nothing.. but why all of the sudden is he not talking to me anymore. "Who are you," August questioned, looking at the two walking toward Zsazsa Wynter. |
|
| Demera crossed her fingers,closing her beautiful eyes."I'm here." she said to August,using the Halve Link the order has,so it's members can freely talk. //I made that up xD// |
|
| OOC: That's awesome, I never thought of anything like that. It will come in handy! IC: Demera?! I thought you were dead! This is such a relief, with you here I won't have to put up with him. |
|
| ((Haha,thanks.I've remembered it might come in handy while watching a movie xD)) Demera smiles."Did you ever saw a dead devil?You know nobody can kill me." she says. "Glad to be here.Needing help?" she adds,with a bit of concern. |
|
| With you here I have no doubts, but I probably could have went head to head with her alone. It's still good you're here. I think this wouldn't be the best time to fight, we should probably get out of here. Besides.. heh.. I'm hungry, and could use some ramen from the old man. "Hey, you two. I'm sorry if you and the Queen were looking to brawl but I don't think it's the best time to fight. I'm going to leave for now," he states, leaping off onto buildings. "Demera, this way. Also, cloak your energy so they can't follow." He lands in the middle of an empty street in front of an old style ramen shop. "Hey, old man! Can you cook me up some ramen and some for my friend here?" he asks an old cook in the shop. "You're back, Aaron," he said smiling. "You left in a hurry awhile go. Got kind of worried. You don't usually make friends, this must be another one of the Order huh?" he said to August. "Yeah, she's December. Demera of December. Demera, this is the old man who runs the ramen shop. He's actually my only human friend, and one I can trust." |
|
| "I always have my energy masked." Demera says on their link,chuckling lightly. She lands next to him,gracefully on her white flats,and bows lightly when she is introduced."Nice to meet you,sir." she says,polite,in her lady-like manor."I'm glad Aaron found someone who he can trust,between another race aside of our own." she adds,smiling,eyes closed for few seconds. |
|
| "You Halves sure are a secretive race," the old man says chuckling. "Here, sit down and have some ramen. You too, Aaron, you look hungry." He makes two bowls of ramen and sets them on the table. "Ohhh ho ho, it looks so yummy. O,O" he says, sitting down and starting his meal. "I met this odd kid, his name was Roku. He actually had me tracked down with a weird device he said he made. I can't always keep a lock on that Queen but I bet he can. I'll need to look for him after this." |
|
| "Oh,no,we are just more...hmm,not fitting.All the other races usually...look with hate at us,so we developed a retracted behave,isolating and not being seen too much.And we're not too talkative either," Demera chuckles lightly,taking a seat beside Aaron. "It looks delicious." she says,as she starts to eat."And the taste is even better,"she adds,after finishing chewing the "sneak peek" she took. "Hmm,to keep an eye on Queen..." she murmurs,thoughtfully."I want to kill that one." she says,after a moment. |
|
| The two left, leaving Zsazsa where she was. Her face was calm and emotionless as always. She could sense one other, approaching. If they had any sense, they would leave her alone. She continued on her walk. "Hijiri" says the voice in her mind, instantly connecting to her unseen aid. "Yes Mistriss" "Keep and eye on those two. They could be trouble in the future "Yes Mistriss ........................................................ In a different part of the city, the two halves ate. Unawares, they were being observed. A duplicate of Hijiri Kusuga watched from the darkness, melding with the shadows so completely it was as she didn't even exsist. |
| Stop. Calm yourself. You're an idiot. |
| "As do I," August says. "I usually care not about the affairs of Hellbenders and Godsend alike, but it's getting out of control. THEY'RE DISRUPTING THE PEACE OF THIS CITY and I'd rather live my death out quietly. Plus.. those eyes. Those damn eyes make me want to-" he pauses. "There is something in me that wants out, and wants nothing more than to kill both the divine and the forsaken alike. He calls himself Amos. I've been looking to get rid of him." Oh no no! Not so easily, ahaha! To get rid of me you'd need a blank body! Now go and find one, you insignificant insect! August starts to sweat. "He's right.. I need a black body to put him in. It's not right that this thing reside within me. I bet that kid Roku would have one. Come on we have to find hi-" "ALREADY HERE!", Roku screams behind August. "I've been following you. You need a blank, and it just so happens that I have one," he said to August smiling. "Follow me to my shop," he said flying off on the hoverboard he'd made. "I guess we follow him. Come on Demera I need to get rid of Amos." |
|
| "I hope I'll see you again." D smiles to the old man,before stepping on crystal stairs that grew as she stepped on the air,higher and higher,to follow Roku. "August...The boy wasn't the only one following us." she says,using the link. |
|
| I know.. Does the Tainted Queen think she can send a spy after members of the Order without us knowing? We're on godly levels Soon, August comes to a stop with Roku, ending up at an old garage. "This is mine," roku said, "I have one fake left. I used to use them to help out in the shop. They all got destroyed though.. except this one. You can use it." "Thank you, Roku, I'll put it to good use" Aaron picked up the body and laid him out in front of him. "He needs clothes before we start this.. I suppose the purple dress shirt I used to wear with my outfit will do, and an extra pair of pants and shoes that go with it. He'll look good.. still won't have my glasses," August chuckled as he put the clothes on the blank. "Alright now I'm gonna pour my chi into it and try splitting my soul in two." It took awhile, but eventually the blank took on the exact same characteristics of August himself. The only difference was that it had white hair, and an evil grin on its face. The creature opened its eyes to see August. It jumped up and backed away from the group. "You've really done it now," it said in a sadistic tone. "I am finally free of you!!!!" "I don't care, Amos. Get out of here before I change my mind and just kill you," Aaron said angrily. "I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY, WEAKLING. AHAHAHA! I hope you know I've thought this out pretty well. If I die, Aaron. YOU DIE TOO! Aaron's eyes widen. "Just get out of here.. now. Go, you fiend," he said to him, and exactly to Aaron's words, Amos left. "You won't be hearing from me in a long while.. August." |
|
| "She tends to overthink her power.She is cocky,vanity is her sin.We shall use her sin as a weakness when time will come." Demera said. She watched untouched the whole scene of the splitting in half,still sensing the presence of Hijiri. |
|
| "I finally don't have to put up with that bastard.. hopefully this leads to a full recovery of my powers. He took up so much of me that it was eating away at my life energy itself. He'd only used to come up when hellbenders were around, then it happened around godsend and soon he came at any given time. I'm glad that's over with.. but I fear now that he has the exact same power level as I do, making him dangerous. And we simply cannot kill him, or I would die as well. No matter, we should be going." August steps outside and stands in one spot for awhile. "..I don't know what to do next. I need to take it easy for the time being.. I'll go back to my home." Demera I want you to be careful with that spy around. You can come back to my home any time you need, but I'll need to go into a deep sleep to recover from splitting my own soul. |
|
| A voice rang through Zsazsa head, as she dispatched another nameless Godsend who had attacked her. The fool died before he could get within striking distance. "Mistress...it seems that the Halves had created another. The man split himself with a black" "Keep following them " |
| Stop. Calm yourself. You're an idiot. |
| "I shall be fine.I'm never alone,and have a good rest.I'll make the spy loose my track." she said,smiling weakly.Truth is,her body was very sickened,as in the past months she kept struggling to get away from hellbenders.She even had to hide with some Godsends to loose her track and survive.But no mater what will come striking,she will live. |
|
| "Say have u seen a hellbender around here?" said a voice from the shadow.From out of the shadow came Ia.Along side her was Kirin following at a slow pace."If I don't get an answer..." she let the question hang in the air.That was not all she left in the air. |
|
| "I suggest you leave,Godsend." Demera speaks. "I didn't saw any hellbender.If I did,it was dead by now." she adds,completing in her mind:"Yet I feel one. |
|
| Ia just smile at them.Then with lighting speed grab the front of Demera cloth "Thank you" then shove her away."If you find any tell me" and with that she turn and left.Kirin gave them a longer look seemly to decide if they were worth attacking.In the end he decide not to and follow her out.When they were a good distance away Ia stop and said to herself "If they won't come out then I gress we make them.Kirin knew what she meant.Setting his feet apart and pointing the horn to the skyh he let out a mightly neigh and white lighting burst from the horn into the sky. |

|
| Demera's face showed for a moment the anger of the cold killer inside her,but it passed as quickly as it came."How impolite." she said,with a blank look."I'll take great pleasure in killing it one day." she said,turning around.Stepping lightly on the crystal stairs appearing in air,she started to move away,humming a song. "I'll see you soon." She says to August,smiling a little towards him. |
AngelicXIJan 28, 2012 10:17 AM
|
| As a couple days passed, August still slept, until the second day ended and night fell upon the city, he jolted up. "Well atleast I'm feeling better.. soul diffraction takes a lot out of you." I'm fully rested and back to my normal power level, but now I need to figure out my next move. |
|
| Demera shows up at August's window.She enters trough the glass,and steps on the floor. "Greetings." she says and smiles with her eyes closed,bowing a little,in her lady-like manor.She was wearing a cloak,as it was night,and her hair was tied in the complicated bun,a blue rose still in her hair,along with the pearls.Sapphire earrings and a small sapphire pendant in the form of a tear,on the silver necklace,completed her outfit.Long gloves,white,were on her hands,adding more elegance. |
AngelicXIJan 28, 2012 10:20 AM
|
| "Hello, I'm finally awake. I'll be right out in a second, I need to grab my jacket," August said jumping out of bed and down his hallway. He halted right at a mirror and glared at himself. "My hair.. it's different. It doesn't look like my hair at all. It looks better!", he yelled, continuing down the hall to grab his jacket. He reached in his pockets and pulled out his thin sunglasses. "Can't go anywhere without these, hehe. I think what we should do next is gather more Order of 12. If I found you in the city there are bound to be more." |
|
| Demera followed him in few seconds."You think we can?" she asked,thoughtfully."I don't feel the urge to find more of them,except for Mira..." she adds,still thoughtfully. |
|
| "Hmm. For every day that Amos is out and about is another say my life is at risk. I must find him and return him to my body. Soul refraction. When he's inside me and in his weak state, I will destroy him for good. But right now it's almost impossible to track him.. he's gone into the desert, maybe even to Earth. So right now we hunt down the spy that's been trailing us and give her a good fight. If anyone can track the spy, it's you. You're the one who felt the presence, so if you want to then lead on." |
|
| "Well,we will,but first I must find Mira." Demera says. "No need,my lady." Mira's soft voice is heard. |
|
| "That must be her I hear. It's a good thing. Saved us a small journey. Okay, now that we're all here. We should look for the one that's been trailing us. I will take the northern sect of the city, you two take the southern. We will meet up later at the ramen shop." |
|
| "Understood." Demera said,as Mira stepped out of the shadows and laying a hand on Demera's shoulder .The two disappear. ... Meanwhile,in the southern district,they appear.A clone of Hijiri is lurking around.Demera concentrates to make it show up.Miranda makes a huge pentagram that grows higher and higher. "Light of my Dove will make the shadows where she is lurking to go away." Mira says. "That way." Demera replies,showing a map and a red spot. Mira grins wide,making a dove appear and light the spot,revealing the Unseen. |
|
| *Norton walked through the city paying no mind to anything around him.* |
 |
| Aaron was launching himself, rooftop to rooftop, in search of who had been trailing him when he happened across Roku on his hoverboard. "Roku, it's you. Is this chance or did you track me down?" he said to Roku. "Chance it is not, I've been tracking you ever since you left your house. I gotta keep an eye on you, ya know. You're Order of 12's August, and if you're an Order of 12 then you're real special. I came by to tell you that I've picked up two more of the Order." he said gleefully. "What?! Two more?! Where?!" he demanded. "The Black Syndicate and Divine Order are on the move, and things are about to get nasty. To balance things out is why us Halves exist! It's fate that drives us, we have to end the war.. even if it means destroying both sides. We're harbingers of fate.." |
|
| Sena shows up,surrounded by butterflies next to Roku and August."Greetings." she says,monotonic,whit a pleasant voice with an english accent."Do you remember me?" she asks. |
AnemiaSMJan 28, 2012 4:34 PM
| August, eyes full of surprise, glares at Sena. "S-Sena of September. You're not dead either?! I thought the whole Order was dead except for July and February yet here you are in front of me. Who's the other member in the city, Roku?" "How the hell am I supposed to know? I only track energy not give you their personal files on a silver platter. If you want to know, go find him.. he's right down the street from here." August leaps away from the group down the road and surely enough he came face to face with Norton of November. "August and September.. November and December. Only 8 remain now." |
HamnJan 28, 2012 6:32 PM
|
| "Six.April and February will soon arrive from the grand desert." Sena says,again appearing next to August."And,Demera is in town?" she asks,thoughtfully,opening her fan."As always,she is the best at masking energy..." she murmurs. |
| ...but nothing was revealed.Seems Hijiri got away straight before Mira got to make the pentagram. Demera widened her eyes in surprise."She is good." she murmurs,turning around,forming crystal-like turquoise flame wings."We must find August and warn him.This hellbender is a challenge.Also,I have an odd feeling that tells me Norton and Sena are in town." she speaks further,grabbing Mira's wrist and flying away. ... moments later,they land near Sena,Norton,Roku and August. "Greetings." both salute,while a small victory smile shines on D's lips. |
|
| Somewhere in the depths of the city, in a small abandoned house, Zsazsa waited, a half eaten apple in one hand. Three days had passed since she arrived in this place. Three days of killing. Even after rasing to the rank of Alpha, it seems she was still relatively unknown. It vexed her. She was terribly vexed. "Hijiri, report" she orders, just as her faithful assisstant steps out of the shadows. "Ma'am!" Hijiri responds, getting down on one knee and placing her knuckle on the ground. "The Order of 12 are assembling in the city, Ma'am." "How many have already arrived?" "Aaron of August, Demera of December, Norton of November, Sena of September. The Fifth is Amos of August, the Split form of Aaron" "Tsk, Damn Halves. Why must they persist to get in our way!" she shout out of anger, shattering the apple in her grip. |
| Stop. Calm yourself. You're an idiot. |
| "Greetings,D,Dove..." Sena says,a large friendly smile making it's way on her lips. |
| (Well, Amos is basically Aaron and he won't be taking part in any of this. He's in the desert. Once he was freed of my body, he fled the city. Aaron is eventually going to hunt him down and destroy him though.) "So this is Norton. I've heard stories from July, but never actually met him. Man do I miss July. He was one of the best of the best. I don't know his whereabouts now. For all we know he could be on Earth." "I'm aching for a battle," August went on. "I've been spending the peaceful days at home and a ramen shop. It's been so long since I've killed any good opponents." |
|
| "August,time has come." Demera speaks,in her lady-like manor."The Tainted Queen seems on the verge of battling us." she starts to speak."What if...if we would ally with Godsends temporary to eliminate the chaos Hellbenders create?" she asks,rising both her eyebrows. The Dove remains silent. In the shadows,a powerful Godsend with her presence masked listens carefully. |
|
| "No, forgive me but we are not to take up sides. It's our duty to stop the war, not help one side beat the other. Such is not the way of the Order. We are here to keep balance between the two. This is why we eliminate both.. until they stop this charade. I doubt the tainted queen will attack all of us without more followers. She needs an army. She needs her leaders. As do the Godsend. We will wait, and work on other things before pursuing them. They will only retreat if confronted now, so now is not the time." |
