"You will never lose us, Sacer." Fortuna smiled at the angel sliding through the flowers and feathers. She joined him and flowers and feathers were everywhere.

"We are a team... always and forever. And we love you very much. You are never alone." Fortuna smiled at Sacer, so happy he finally realized he was not alone and did not have to do things alone... that he was loved and cherished by many.

"Guardian went to look through the damaged hotel for injured persons." Fortuna replied to Sacer's question.

"I have to tell you, Masozi is probably getting beaten to pieces... believing I was Alucard and not moving a muscle until I told him to go back to hell... where Masozi will catch it for being tricked. I have to say, I am happy to be out of the pimp suit that weirdo wears! Fortuna chuckled.

OOC: Hello. i have come to check on this thread. This will be one of my few posts until the end of July. I finally got to a computer, but it has dial up and i really don't want to use it. I have been thinking up a lot of ideas of the next one. One of the best ones comes from what Marvel is doing right now. It's Civil War. It would be a great theme to do for this thread. I mean half of the superheroes on oneside with the government the other half still freelance. If anyone doesn't know what Civil War from Marvel is maybe trying looking it up on Wikipedia.

"I am going to go check on the little girl, Enertro. You can stay out in the sun if you like." Diaphanous kissed Enertro and went into the bedroom over to the bed.

She was still sleeping soundly, looking like a little angel. Diaphanous was overjoyed at the new addition to their family, and Enertro was as well.

She only wished she did not have to explain what happened to her parents. Diaphanous was working on what exactly to say to her about her parents.

She called the concierge and ordered some stuffed animals and dolls and toys for the girl. Diaphanous hoped the big stuffed polar bear would comfort her.

I wonder what her name is?

OOC: TG Hype

The water spirit replied, We are as weak as the bodies in which we inhabit. Whatever your weakness is that is what our weakness is. The portal will take us to our home. This is where you will find out everything you wish to know.

===============================================================

Nightwing looked at Haze and said, "Have you heard from Diaphanous and Enertro?" Haze nodded and said, "I have been monitoring them for the last hour. It seems they have a kid now. The Guardian gave it to them." Nightwing looked at him and replied, "Can you ask them to come to the Tower?" Haze replied, "Sure." He then telepathically spoke to Diaphanous, Hey Dia, can you and Enertro come to the Tower?

Your home, not mine, not ours. He thought back, I'm not really that interested in visiting your home, no offence intended, but mine's homier.

I wasn't referring to you. I was referring to my brothers, the other spirits. Will you walk through the portal already?

"Fine." He commented as he stood and walked through, But if I don't like it, and you try and keep me there, you're 'brothers' can have fun finding new hosts.

ooc: In case you didn't know Breit's absent for a while so we can assume he's gone through as well.

OOC: I know Breit is gone.

IC: The water spirit replied, Sure. As he stepped through the door he was overewhelmed by a bright light. He surrounded for about three minutes. When the light faded he stood in the Temple of Elemis. The water spirit then said, Welcome to Elemis.

"Who, or what is an Elemis?" He asked as he looked at the temple.

ooc: What kind of temple(Christian Gothic, Asian, Japanese, Greco-Roman, ect)?

Haze, we have the problem of a sleeping child, who does not know her parents have been killed by the demon. I cannot just leave her, or drag her to NJLU business right now.

Can you inform me telepathically what is going on? I must be here for this precious child. She was given to me by an angel.

OOC: It is a combination of many different types. Mostly Asian however.

IC: Wood looked at the temple and said, "It is good to home." Metal and Earth nodded. The three walked to a round table and sat down. Metal looked at Morph and Prism, and said, "Before we answer your questions you must swear on your blood that you will not tell anyone of this temple."

=============================================================

Haze replied, We aren't really doing anything yet. We are about to start discussing what happened today soon, however.

"And why do you want a blood oath, it's not more effective than any other." He commented

OK Haze. Please keep me informed. I have to tell this child her parents are dead when she wakes up. Diaphanous informed Haze, sadly.

Haze nodded and said, We will keep in contact. He ended the contact. He then explained the situation to the others. They all sat around thinking about what they should do.

=============================================================

Metal replied, "If an oath is on your blood you won't tell because you don't want to have to deal with the consequences." Two knives shot out of Metal's arms towards Prism and Morph. Metal told them, "Cut yourselves with the knives and swear on your family's blood you will not disclose the mysteries of the Elemis clan. After this is done we will tell you everything you want."

"Just like contracts written in blood are no more binding than normal, so are oaths in blood no more binding than otherwise. Either way, since I don't want anything to do with your lunacies, and you want me to, it would behoove you to convince me by telling me what I want before I 'sign up'." He replied

ooc: "I want a Contracts Attorney before I swear to anything! :p (sorry)

Drake headed back up after his meditations. He would have to master Draconic soon if he ever needed his master again. He arrived back at the main roo where the heroes had gathered.

"Anything going on that You feel like sending a rookie to tackle?" he asked from the one that Nightwing called Haze.

Haze turned around and said, "Nothing really. Ever since that demon was summoned we have noticed that no disturbances have popped up. We are currently monitoring over China."

================================================================

Earth looked at Morph and said, "Let's just say we trust your blood more than your word. If we tell you before you swear you will not understand everything completely. Elemis is very complicated so it does take a lot of steps."

Taking a seat, he asked "What's happening there?"

Raven looked at him and said, "Well the guy who summoned that demon, Prism, disappeared there a couple of hours ago. Diaphanous and Haze both lost contact with him as soon as he reached the Great Wall of China."

Haze nodded and said, "We do not know if he is in danger or not."

"Well then No. You never sign a contract or give an oath without knowing the particulars, especially with someone that you do not trust." He replied

Wood replied, "Fine then. It is your lost." The three of them stood up and began walking away from Morph. Metal said to Earth, "He is not getting out of here very soon. Not until he gives the oath of blood." Earth then replied, "Maybe we should just tell him a little bit of information. It wouldn't hurt." Wood glanced back and said, "Follow us Prism. Morph you can try to find a way out."

Morph chuckled at Woody's assumption that he was trapped, as he could leave at his wish, of course he'd be in a weak body for multiple years to come. "You do realize that this is not my ownly body, and I am not bound to this one don't you?" He commented

Oh, and would you be able to dessicate a body? He thought at the spirit.

Wood laughed and said, "And do you not realize that you are in the temple of Elemis? Take time to look around. This room is littered which the skeletons of past vessels who tried to escape and deny their fate. If five come in, five must go out. That is the rule and it is impossible to break it."

Water spirit then said, What the Wood avatar says is true. Their is no possible escape.

"Five would stay in and none come out. Anyways tell me and I may give you your silly oath, otherwise you're just as trapped as I am." He commented, with a superior grin as he was already in two places at once, thier thinking was faulty.

That's not what I asked. Can you dessicate a body? He thought at the spirit

The spirit replied, If you are meaning drain fluids from a person's body then yes.

Wood turned around and said, "Well I guess I better explain the world of Elemis to you then." Metal and Earth looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. Wood then looked at him and said, "Ask away chameleon."

"Why not start at the beginning, go on through to the end, and stop. That'd be good for a start." He commented as he looked at Woody, "And please take a seat, it's not chivalrous for ladies to have to stand when there are chairs for sitting."

"Would you mind telling me who this Prism is? He seems to be good at causing trouble then disappearing?" Drake did not like the sound of this guy. Especially if he could disappear immediately after summoning a demon. It made him question the moral fall of this guy. He felt a slight pressure inside his head. Somebody was trying to read his mind. Funny, he thought. They won't be able to. Such is the power of Draconic.

Diaphanous lay down on the bed next to the precious child who was still sleeping.

Coming up with the gentlest way to tell her about her parents was all that was going through her mind.

Eventually, Diaphanous drifted off, herself.

OOC: Who is trying to read his mind?

IC:

"What is there to say about him? He is an A-Rank criminal who always gets caught of with the wrong people. He was changing for the better but I don't know what happened to him," Haze replied.

=============================================================

Earth looked at him and said, "How about you sit down, waterboy." She kicked the ground and the ground beneath Morph's feet form a chair that caught him. Wood and the other two then began walking back. Metal then looked at him and said, "What do you wish know?"

He chuckled at her actions, "And how about everything, history, motivation, why you want a blood oath, why you want to force others to help you, everything." He replied

Wood started off. "The spirits of Elemis history is a very long one. At one time China stretched all across Asia and Europe. It was the most powerful empire in the world. The spirits were once powerful benders able to crush a mountain with a snap of their fingers and set a whole field ablaze by simply sneezing. They controlled everything. They divided their land into five parts with each of them protecting it. Every year they would meet here in the grand Temple of Elemis. One year when they came here their was a sixth waiting outside of portal for him. He had come to fight. This criminal betrayed his country and slaughtered the five spirits. The spirits were never ever to pass into the afterlife and they have been controling various bodies ever since looking for the spirit of the man who betrayed him. They believe they have found this man. Omino. He carries the sword that impaled the five bodies spirits and he also wields the powers of the Slayer. The elements must destroy this man to attain eternal peace." Metal, Earth and Wood sat their and waited for a reply.

"China ruling all of Asia and Europe?" He asked in a sarcastic tone. "And you want to kill someone because of something his ancestor may or may not have done?"

Metal sneered at Morph's last comment. She then barked, "That man's ancestor did not do anything. That man had the spirit who destroyed us in him. He destroyed our once noble clan."

Wood and Earth nodded in agreement.

"Ever thought he didn't want the damn spirit in him, just like I don't particularly want the damn spirit that's in me." He commented coldly, while thinking, No offence intended.

"And from what I've seen of your clan, it's nowhere near noble."

The water spirit replied, None taken. I don't really want to be in your body either. I had to take yours since you destroyed my other body. I would leave and find another vessel, but I don't want to end your life. You are humorous.

"Well we don't know if he wants it in him or not. All we know is that he killed us in a past life and we must settle our vendetta. You do realize by you being chosen by the spirit that you were once slain by this man," Wood asked.

"IF re-incarnation exists, I couldn't care less what happened in prior existances. They're past and that's that. By your logic I have as much reason to go after him, as Prism, as Prism's also 'kiled' me." He commented, "You're obsessed with vengence for something that happened hundreds of years past. Why don't you just forget about it and let it go."

You're fellows are obsessive, and why couldn't you have just gone and possessed a cat or something?

Wood replied, "The reason we still seek vengeance is because he marked us." The tattoos on their backs glowed. "That mark on you means low, dirty. smut. He discredited us. He dishonored that is why we seek our vengeance. You think we do this out of petty jealousy. We have true reason."

Metal then pointed out, "And Prism hear didn't kill you. You faked your death. Wood had been watching you ever since that fight. He saw when you slithered off and married the queen of Katigasnia. You have know reason to hate Prism. Don't be mad because he defeated you in battle."

"Well then I do have a reason to kill Woody over there." He commented, "And like you said, the reason is petty."

How do I go about utilizing your abilities? He thought at the spirit.

I love it when they ask this question. You can't use them unless I grant you permission. It is a beautiful thing really. If I don't want you to use them then you can't. The spirit began laughing mischievously inside of Morph's head.

"There is nothing petty about it," Metal snarled. She then said, "And why do you think you have reason to try to kill Wood?"

Enh, not like I really need them. He thought back.

"Yes there is. You've held a grudge for centuries because you got your butts kicked." He commented with a laugh. "And the reason to kill him because he's, by your claim, been spying on me. Or I just don't like him."

Wood looked at Morph and said, "You wouldn't be able to touch me. I have far more experience than you. I have known the spirit of wood longer than you have been living."

Water then replied to Morph, You would need my help if you decided to challenge one of those three. The spirits in those bodies have been with them for over a hundred years. They have bonded with each other very well.

"Experiance only goes so far." He commented

That remains to be seen, I have my doubts as to the effectiveness of Wood or Metal, Earth however I believe would be the most dangerous of the three. He thought to the spirit.

The water spirit replied, You are foolish to doubt any of them. They all have mastered their element to the highest degree. They all are equal in power. I promise you it would not be good to engage in battle with any of them.

Wood looked at him and said, "Are you sure?"

Perhaps, or perhaps you have no experiance with the full extend of my tactics and skills. He thought back

"Yes, even the most experianced is unable to react to all situations, and you are no difference." He commented, "Frankly thought, it would be a waste of my time and effort. You've yet to give me a reason to give you the blood oath you sought."

And Earth replied, "And you haven't given us a chance to give you a reason to take the blood oath. What else do you want to know?"

OOC: I gotta go to sleep. I'll be back on tomorrow.

"Like I said, everything, but with out the sob story of 'oh we were so put upon, oh we're holding a thousand year grudge because we lost a fight'." He replied, "Oh, and that includes a run down of your abilities and weaknesses."

"Like the water spirit already told you, the spirit is as weak as the container. Why would we tell you our personal weaknesses? That would be stupid. You don't seem like a stupid person Morph," Wood replied.

Metal then asked, "Wouldn't like to know how we have survived for so long?"

"No, but I was expecting you at leasst were Woody." Morph commented, "And sure, add that and you're strengths and abilities, to the everything you'll be telling me."

Wood looked at Morph and said, "You are very arrogant. That is not good. Your spirit will not allow for you to fully access those powers."

Metal then said, "Before we tell you our abiliities how about you tell us yours."

"It's already told me that I have to ask permission anyways." He commented, before thinking, Which would you count as he, she or it anyways?

"I'm sure you already know all the abilities of the spirit, and why don't you ask your spy friend over there," He gestured at Woody, "If you want to know my other ones."

"So, exactly what are we waiting for? Are we waiting until this Prism rears his head again, or just searching for him until we find him? And what comes then? Oh, and I would like to know if it was any of you just trying to read my mind. If it wasn't any of you, then I think I have a new enemy." Drake brooded on the thought.

Haze replied, "No my friend it wasn't any of us reading your mind. I know for sure it wasn't me. If I wanted to I would have, but I would never break a teammate's privacy." Raven nodded in agreement and said, "Neither Haze or I have tried to pry open your mind."

Nightwing than looked at him and said, "We don't want to just leap down on him. That would expose our secrecy. We want to know what he was doing before we pounce on him.

==============================================================

Wood looked at him and said, "I did not spy on you. You just left an obvious trail. It wasn't hard to figure out where you went after you fought Prism. I only know of a few of your powers, but I am sure there are more."

The water spirit replied, You can refer to me with masculine pronouns

"Which do you know?" He asked, Alright, can you talk to the other spirits? If so do you have any loyalty to me, or just to the other spirits?

Drake looked at Haze. "It's not about want, it's about ability. Nobody, save for those that know Draconic, can read my mind. I am a dragon, as such, my mind operates differently, I think differently, and not even the most powerful telepaths in the world have been able to read a dragon mind unless they know Draconic. I don't know it myself, otherwise I would have tried to extend communications from my end, but as it is, I am essentially shut out. Draconic is a way of thinking, a method that forms the bridge between the various forms of mental operations, even for animals, and some say, the plants as well.

"So, you have been watching him. What exactly do you know, other than the fact that he is a career criminal, if I understand you correctly?"

Haze smiled and said, "I have studied Draconic. I haven't fully mastered it. I have problems communicating with plants and fungi. Cats are very interesting however. I have also met other dragons before."

Nightwing than said, "We don't have too much information on this guy. It seems like he has a new talent. Lava. Who knows what else he can do?"

=============================================================

The water spirit replied, I am completely loyal to my brothers while I am even more loyal to my host as long as he or she doesn't agitate that much.

So if I chose to omit something when I tell Woody and the others, you wouldn't 'blab'? He mentally asked the spirit. Also what is the relationship between you, and the other spirits, both in a general and romantic sense?

"Alright you wish to know my abilities?" He asked, "Strength, endurance, body manipulation, and limited budding."

The water spirit replied, No I wouldn't tell. I always liked having an advantage over them. He then said, In relation to my siblings I am the oldest spirit. Then it is my Earth. After Earth came the twins Metal and Wood. From their came my youngest brother Fire. The only real literal brothers and sisters are Metal and Wood. The rest of us were just really good friends. Fire and Metal used to have an relationship, but they broke it off before we were slain on the Great Wall of China.

Wood looked at him and said, "Okay. Now we are going to tell you our natural abilities. Some are greater then others. Who do you want to talk first?[/i]

I wonder if they'll pick up on that. he thought with a mental chuckle.

"Why not go round the table starting with you?" He suggested

"I am impressed," Drake said. "It goes without saying, but I am extraordinarily young for my kind, so if I asked, would you be able to impart your knowledge onto me? Otherwise, it's more trips back to my homeland to learn what I need to.

"So, this Prism can manipulate lava. When exactly did this ability develop/get noticed?"

OOC: I think Jolt crashed momentarily.

IC: Wood looked at him and said, "My personal abilities are talk to animals. I can also travel at high speeds underground. My spirit allows me to manipulate lumber, trees and plants to my advantage."

Metal looked Water and said, "My natural abilities are being able to produce a sonic scream. I can also run at triple the speed of sound. My spirit allows me to manipulate all metals and become a human magnet whenever I need to be."

Earth then said, "My natural abilities are that I am telekinetic. I can control various things with my mind. I also can heal so that grants me a lot of power. My earth spirit gives me control over the earth. It is my playground. I can do many things with it."

They waited for his reply.

===============================================================

Haze looked at him and said, "It is not easy for a human to learn Draconic. One of the side effects of me knowing this are my headaches. I can help you somewhat, but a dragon master is always a better teacher."

"I was right about you Woody, wrong about you Metal, and right about you Earth." He commented, "So how about the rest of your story and all that crud."

ooc: For me it was lag

Wood shook his head and said, "You are foolish to doubt my powers." All three of them hadn't revealed their other powers. They didn't want to let the other spirits know of their trump cards.

Metal then said, "We have told you a brief summary of our history. You will find out more as you bond more with your spirit."

"And you won't explain it, why?" He asked

Earth replied, "Explain what? We are finished telling you our story. What else do you seek to know?"

"What you're planning, how your plans have change when you've lost a member, why you don't just give it up, and so on and so forth." He commented

Metal replied, "Okay," and began telling their plans. "Last year we set up the showdown between all of the countries in Mexico." She glanced at Wood and said, "We had some connections with all of the countries. We knew if we caused enough trouble than we would be able to draw out the slayer. When he came we got his identity and left. Now we need to try to form a way to trap him so that we can kill him. We are currently formulating plans."

Earth than said, "We never lost a member. Just a body. We were still able to communicate with the spirits without bodies through our spirits."

"You misunderstand, not lose a member in the sense of the death of a spirit, but through the refusal of one of the people. Also if you want him dead so badly, just hire an assassin or two and be done with it." He commented

ooc: Man, those elemental spirits are a bunch of bitches!:p

"Whatever I can learn, it would be helpful, since the more I learn here, the less of a need I have to leave you all for periodic training back home," Drake said to Haze. "It gives you headaches? That is interesting. I can try to see if my dragon-master can do anything for it, if you want."

Prism's head was spinning. Everything was moving so fast. He cut his palm with the knife that Metal had given him. He looked at her with a smirk and said, "Can I keep this?" He sat down and waited for Morph to chill. "Yeah, my natural powers are the ability to shoot beams of light, and to set things on fire by touch. And now, I don't know the extent of my powers just yet." He asked Fire some questions. So what do you think we should do to fight Omnio? And who old are the spirits' currrent bodies, not the spirits themselves?

The fire spirit replied, Those bodies over there are about 100 years old a piece. The spirits of metal, wood, and earth have marinated in them for a long time. The only way that we can defeat Omino is together. That was our mistake last time. We each tried to take him on one on one. That is how we lost our first bodies.

Wood looked at Morph and said, "I wish it could be that easy. If we want to get rid of this mark we must do it ourselves together. If you try to leave you will die. Simply put. No ifs ands or buts about it. You'll be dead and we will not be the ones to cause it. It would be that spirit inside of you."

Metal looked at Prism and said, "Yeah you can keep that knife. Thank you for being so compliant."

"No problem." Prism did mock swings with the knife. Now he had that and the sabre Fire's original host left him. Damn. They're a hundred years old? They all look young, especially Metal. Prism veered off the topic of Metal and asked a question. "Do you have any place to practice my new abilities? I don'y know them yet, and I think I should if I'm going to help you fight Omnio."

"If it the same spirit, why not just ask him, her, it to remove the mark, and if not, how will killing an innocent person help?" He commented, "And either way, I've got to get going, things to do and all that."

Wood shook his head and said, "Once again you do not understand. There is not an actual spirit inside of Omino. He is the spirit. He has managed to keep his body for hundreds of years. He disappeared for a time and then he suddenly just popped back in. If we were to kindly ask him that wouldn't work. It would be very idiotic to do that."

Metal looked at Fire and said, "Yes there are training grounds. Under the temple. We will take you two there soon after we satisfy Morph's curiosity."

"So he's the same dude who did that to you, right." Morph commented in a highly disbelieving tone. "You're BS is getting more so by the minute.

"So he's the same dude who did that to you, right." Morph commented in a highly disbelieving tone. "You're BS is getting more so by the minute.

Wood nodded and said, "Unfathomable I know, but I swear it is the truth. Omino, that man, destroyed us. He did it and we all know it. You know it to. You can feel the spirit inside of your body. How it thirsts for revenge. I am surprised you haven't asked why did we as people allow the spirits to take our bodies. Would you like to know?"

"Do you know for a fact that it's the same person and not an heir?" He asked, "And sure, explain that as well."

"We are positive that it is him. The spirits always are correct," Metal answered.

Metal then began to explain why they had let the spirits be with them. "We made a deal with our spirits. After we are done with disposing of Omino they will leave our bodies, but leave their powers and our souls. It is a very good bargain. If you accomplish your mission the water spirit will do the same for you."

"You'll have to trust that I don't take your words on faith." He commented, "Oh, and then you'll go try and take over the world by doing what the spirits did, is that it?"

"Also, do you even have a plan to deal with him?"

Wood looked at him and said, "The spirits never tried to take over the world. It is that man Omino who tried to take over the world. We have no interest in taking the world. We just want their powers. That is all."

Earth then said, "We do have a plan. Even all of us together at this time cannot take Omino. We have a . . . partner."

Enertro got up from his chair on the balcony and found Diaphanous sleeping soundly next to the little girl.

He took a place on the other side of the little girl and fell asleep.

The three of them slept soundly on the huge bed, with the little girl in the middle.

"Them I'm not to concerned about, but frankly I don't trust you farther than a normal person could throw you, Woody." He commented, altering the statement somewhat as he could throw him pretty far, "Also did they not allegedly rule Europe and Asia, if so that's a pretty large part of the world they didn't take over. And who's this partner..."

"A partner? And who might that be? Someone we've already met?"

OOC- TG Theao.

"Well we have no interest in ruling the world. We just want their powers. Our partner is a man named Masozi," Metal replied to the two. The three of them then stood up and said, "Come on. We will show you the rest of the temple now."

"So you're not megelomaniacs, just power-crazed." He commented, "But lead on then, let's see the rest of this temple."

ooc: Replied

"Masozi, huh? Whats so special about him?" Well, things were actually looking up for Prism. Although he had to fight an incredibly powerful being and might die, if he won, he would get crazy powers, his soul, and maybe other things as well. Prism followed, waiting to see the rest of the temple.

OOC- Replied.

"Masozi is a very powerful person. He has a lot of connections that ar every useful. We helped him free himself of Hrist and now he is going to help us destroy Omino."

They walked down some stairs and came to a long hall with four doors. Metal pointed at the first door on the right. That is the grand dining hall. You will find whatever types of foods you like there. She then pointed to the second door on the right. "That is the training room. That is where we are headed." She then pointed at a first door on the left. and said, "This door will lead us to our rooms. You will be able to recognize your room quickly." She then just walked by the second door on the left and entered into the training room. Earth and Wood followed her.

Prism followed the group into the training room. He waited to see what would happen.

"Who is Hrist?" He asked as he followed the 'nuts'. "And why are we going to the training room?"

"Someone who helped Masozi destroy so that he will help us destroy Omino," Metal replied.

Earth then said, "I would appreciate it if you gave us your swear now. It would make things flow a lot better."

"What swear?" Once again Prism was confused, and slightly pissed. "Like, a swear of alligience or something? Can we get on with the training and whatnot here?"

"I still have questions like why Masozi wants to kill Hrist, and who Masozi is in the first place." He replied

They looked at Prism and said, "You have already given us your word. It is just the avatar of Water who hasn't."

"Masozi, if you keep holing out on me I'm gonna have to start getting really nasty." Alucard growled before sitting up.

The humanoid snake demon dangled in the air stuck on a giant spear than ran through his mouth and out between his legs. Over fifty feet up, the more handsome Vampire Lord, had to shout for him to hear.

"How did you defeat Hrist, Masozi?" The red cladded figure said hovering up to his tortured victim. "You were not strong enough to defeat her alone, so you better start talking!"

Alucard ran a blade along Masozi's gut spilling his entrails down the length of the incredibly long spear. A faint crimson aura around the spear glowed preventing the viper demon from healing his wounds or escaping.

"I hate to waste my time torturing my own servants when I could be playing with Sacer, or Fortuna, or Guardian. I have all enternity so the more you hold out on me, the less time I have to play with my angels, and the angrier I get!" He yelled before flying down and pulling on the snake's intestines. The sound of Masozi being pulled down the spear was a gruesome squeek with the frequent loud crunch.

"Elementals!" Masozi screamed in agony immediately coming to a stop.

Of course, it was Morph who had to be picked. God, I'm never goint to get out of this temple. "So, do I train alone, or do I spar one of you, or what?"

Wood looked at Morph and said, "Masozi is a demon. We helped him so that he would help us."

Metal then said, "We need to test you two. Morph vs. Prism."

============================================================

Haze looked out into space and said, "I wonder what Enertro and Diaphanous are doing?"

"First of all you want me to help you murder someone, now you're throwing a demon into the mix. Are you people insane? Has this pseudo-immortality driven you all around the bend?" He asked

"You never answered my question, Haze. Do you want me to see if my master can do anything about those headaches, since you say it causes you headaches? If it started when you learned draconic, then we can definitely try something, and if not, then we can see if it is anything else we know about."

"Wait, I have to fight Morph again? He almost killed me last time!" Prism was prepared to fight Morph, he just thought it was retarded. Oh well, knowing Morph, the fight won't start for awhile.

Prism turned to Morph. "Well, I guess we get a rematch. At least this time we're not on a mesa that we can fall to our deaths on. So, you ready, or are you gonna hold out for another few minutes?"

"I'm not going to pound on you till they answer my questions, and probably not even then." He replied, "It's pointless to do so."

"Well, we have nothing else to do. So when ever you're ready, I'm ready."

"Go pound on Woody if you're that eager for a fight. I have questions for them and to hell with anything they want if they don't answer them." He replied

"Okay then." Prism leaned up against the wall and pulled out his MP3 player. He turned it on. We'll be here for awhile, so why not listen to some tunes? He put it on shuffle. He smiled at the song that came on. Metallica's "Master of Puppets".

End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your deaths' construction

Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror

Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master

Master, master, where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, master, you promised only lies
Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries

Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season

I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too

Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master

Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master

Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master

Ironic Prism thought.

"Masozi just has connections. That is all. And no we are not crazy. Morph I do believe that Prism frightens you. Are you scared that you will suffer defeat again at his hands?" Wood asked sarcastically.

"He's also by your own admittance a demon and Infernal contacts are not the most trustworthy, and if you are willing to put faith in a demon you most certainly are crazy." He commented

"Actually I'm not interested in fighting him as I don't have a reason to pound him like I do you. Fear is not part of that equation."

"I can vouch for the demon thing. In my experiences, demons are a pain in the ass. So maybe you shouldn't go helping a demon."

We just needed his energy. We have it now so we don't have to deal with him. Water told Morph.

Wood then replied, "There is no need for me to fight you. I have nothing to prove. You two however have much to prove. Neither of you can fight from what I can see."

"I never said me fight you." He replied, "I said Prism wail on you, nor do I have any reason to prove anything to you Woody."

IC: "Actually you do have something to prove. Not to me but your demon. This is your first test. You vs. Prism," Wood took a couple steps back.

"I don't have a demon, unless you're calling all the spirits demons which would include yourself in that." He commented mockingly.

Prism shook his head and walked over to Morph. "Sorry man, but I want to get out of here." He blasted a light beam through Morph's chest, and lept back, ready to see what would happen next.

OOC: You got me. I meant spirit.

IC: "He meant your spirit," Metal replied. The spirits all began to grumble inside of their body's heads.

Earth replied, "You two must fight if you want to keep those water powers.

"That was unbecoming of you Prism." Morph commented as his torso reformed. Can you partially dessicate Prism's legs, and Woody's while your at it?

The water spirit replied, Sorry buddy, but this fight is all you. I can't help you until you show me what you've got. Once you have proven that to me then you will have the abilities. Fire will not be allowing Prism to use his abilities just yet either. I can however give you advice on how to defeat Fire.

Then dessicate Woody's legs. I'm not fighting him so it wouldn't have any bearing on the fight with Prism. Also spill the information. He thought back as he extended his arm to punch Prism.

Prism expeted something like that from Morph, so he side dodge his fist and grabbed it, setting Morph's arm of fire in the process.

The flames burnt for a short time but Morph was not intrinsically flammable, it didn't burn for long once out of Prism's grasp. Slamming a fist into the floor, he pulled up a large section of flooring and hurled it at Prism

Prism attempted to shot the debris out of the air, and he somewhat succeded. After shaking off some large clumps of destroyed ground, he fired another light beam at Morph, but held it. It was a consistent stream of energy, so it would be harder for Morph to reform. Prism moved the beam around to hit different areas of his body, being careful not to hit his head, which might kill him.

OOC- TG Woosh.

Water replied, What is the point of draining his legs of water. The water would simply just be reabsorbed with his powers of wood. It would be pointless. Try to get Fire on his back.

OOC: TG Breit

Then what about icing his brain, can you do that? He thought with a touch of sarcasm.

Meanwhile Prism's lightbeam was beginning to irritate him. "Would you mind knocking it off?" He asked while projecting a large glob of tough and fairly inflammable webbing at Prism.

Prism aimed the beam and the gobb, and managed to blast it out of the way. "Sorry Morph, but until the bozos are satisfied, I'm not stopping. I want out of here. I want to pick up the peces of my life and start again." Prism pulled out the sabre that Fire had, lit it on fire, and he slowly walked toward Mrph slowly.

"So a battle of blades then?" He asked as he brought both hands to his chest and drew out two blades. They were bone-white and while made of bone, were not comparable to a traditional bone being closer to steel in nature.

"So a battle of blades then?" He asked as he brought both hands to his chest and drew out two blades. They were bone-white and while made of bone, were not comparable to a traditional bone being closer to steel in nature.

To make things equal, Prism also took out Medallion's disk. He lit it on fire and extended the blades. Prism had fenced in high school, but other than that he had never been in a swordfight before. He circled Morph before coming in, the sabre swing in the direction of Morph.

"If you want to play that game." He commented with a grin as he concentrated for a second and an additional pair of arms grew, each holding a blade.

As Prism swung, he stepped back, wondering if Prism would overbalance himself.

"That's a cool trick." Prism caught his balance, and with a quick upward slash, he lopped of one of Morph's arms. "That's better." He spun around and swung the shield at Morph's torso, while keeping the sabre up to block Morph's swords.

"That's nothing." He replied with a smirk as the arm landed with a light thud, and turned into a pseudo-ooze that made it's way back to re-join Morph's body.

As he utilized the the two bottom* arms to block Prism's blow, he slashed down with his other blade at Prism. Prism had an advantage in the fight as Morph was holding back somewhat as his opponent was a bit more breakable than he was.

ooc: So you're using the shield for offence and saber for defence?
A bit backward if you ask me but alright.
* They're the original arms/in normal places, the other two(now one) go up from the shoulder rather than down like normal

Prism was in an awkward position. He was blocking and attacking with both weapons, but now Morph had almost pinned him down. He increased the flame coming from the weapons. He slammed the shield upwards, hit Morph in the chin, and then, sliding the shield to his wrist, shot out a beam of light which hit Morph's legs, hoping to buckle him.

"Ow." He commented with a bit of a grunt as he was bashed in the jaw. Had he been a normal person he'd have, at the very least lost a few teeth and most likely suffered a broken jaw as well.

The bolt of light smashed him the legs, knocking him down to one knee which gave each an advantage of sorts, Prism increased leverage and thus more power but Morph was at an angle to hamstring Prism where he couldn't well defend.

As he balanced and defended from his position, he sprouted a tail with a fist that he sent snaking around to 'sucker' punch Prism in the side. Morph had the ability to be a nigh-unbeatable defensive fighter if he wasn't forced to multi-task to much, something Prism was starting to get him to do a bit.

ooc: Have you seen X-Men 3, and if so, did you stay till the credits ended?

ooc: Have you seen X-Men 3, and if so, did you stay till the credits ended?

ooc- have not yet, don't worry, you can ruin it if you ned to.

IC- Prism was surpised a bit by Morph's sucker punch, but he continued the assault. He set the ground near Morph on fire, and aimed nother beam at his other leg, hoping to get him on the ground where he could at least get the fight to end.

Morph leapt up and backward to avoid the flames. His fourth arm had reattached and regrown with the blade in hand. He landed on the wall and directed his statement to Wood, "Happy yet you nut?"

ooc: If/when you do, stay till the end of the credits, there's something interesting that happens at the very end of the credits.

As Morph made his comment to Wood, Prism seized his chance. He Hurled the sword at Morph. It stuck him to a wall as it entered his chest. Prism knew Morph would get out of it, so he shot a large blast that sent him through a wall. "Alright Wood, I think we're done." Prism said as he grabbed his sword from Morph's stomach, pulling him out of the hole he made in the wall. "No hard feelings, right dude?"

As Prism went to grab his sword, Morph grabbed his arm and flipped him onto his back. "No hard feelings." He commented with a slight smirk as he pulled the sword out himself. "You're pretty good." He added as the extra arms and blades retracted into his body.

Prism smirked himself as he got up. "I've been practicing. You've improved as well." Prism took the sword and shield and sheathed them. "So, what do we do know Wood?"

ooc: saw the end of the credits, first day it opened. those three seconds are well worth the wait. Oh, and Drake poized a question to Haze, still unanswered. He's trying to get things moving.

Haze shook his head and said, "I doubt that it would do me any good."

Nightwing then looked at him and said, "Haze anything is worth a try."

Haze looked at him and said, "I don't know about that.'

===============================================================

Wood smiled and said, "You two are very good." He nodded to Earth. She pointed at a wall and a door that lead to the outside opened. Wood then said, "You can stay here with us or you can leave. If you leave the next time your tattoo glows you are to report back here immediately. We trust both of you to be quiet about this."

"Why don't you just leave us alone?" He asked, "Or I guess I could leave someone to wait for your contact so you don't have to pester me."

"I think I'll stay here. I've got no where else to go. But, I have something I have to take care of first." Prism walked outside, and shot a beam up into the air. Soon, Sabbath, Maiden, and Acillatem ppeared. "What is it Prism?" Acillatem asked. "Everything is okay here. I'm staying here for a bit. It's for personal reasons. So you guys can leave. I'll see you later, but for now, I must stay here." They all looked surprised, but they left anyway. Prism came back to the room. "So, where do I sleep?"

Metal replied, "It is right next to mine. I think you will like it. Second one on the left."

Fire then told Prism, You did very good.

Wood looked at Morph and said, "No one else should know about this. No one. When your tattoo glows come back here. That is final Sean."

"No one else would know about it bark for brains." Morph commented with a scornful look at Woody.

Prism went to his room. It was nice. He sat down and chilled. Today had been a long day. He had fought a fire warrior, gained his powers, unleashed a demon, went to hell and back, fought Morph again, and beat him, all in one day. However, he felt remorse. He had probably killed more than the fire warrior today, because of his blind desire for vengence. He could've had it, but Dia had changed his mind. The NJLU probably considered him a criminal. And he kept thinking about Metal. What am I going to do after this?

"No one else would know about it bark for brains." Morph commented with a scornful look at Woody.

Wood shook his head and said, "Are you going to leave or sit here and act like a five-year old brat?"

Hey Fire, what happened to all the other people you've been in? Did they all die in battle? And what about the others? And has Bellis always been a jerk, or is that the spirirt of wood. Before he got an answer, Prism put his MP3 back on. He flipped through some songs before he paused it and said, Hope you don't mind.

The spirit replied, I have had two other bodies besides you. My original body and the one which you destroyed earlier. Bellis is just like his spirit. Spirits always pick bodies with personalities like themselves. Somehow Earth, Wood, and Metal have managed to retain there bodies. Water and myself where tired of our old bodies however. The spirit paused and said, Plus I like these songs.

So the water spirit is a stubborn clown? Prism smiled at his remark. He put on a song. Crossroads by Cream came on.

I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
Down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees.
Asked the Lord above for mercy, "Save me if you please."

I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
Down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride.
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by.

Well I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side.
Going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side.
You can still barrelhouse, baby, on the riverside.

Going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side.
Going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side.
You can still barrelhouse, baby, on the riverside.

You can run, you can run, tell my friend-boy, Willie Brown.*
Run, you can run, tell my friend-boy, Willie Brown.*
And I'm staying at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down.

After that, another Cream song, "Sunshine of Your Love" played.

It's gettin' near dawn,
When lights close their tired eyes.
I'll soon be with you my love,
To give you my dawn surprise.
I'll be with you darling soon,
I'll be with you when the stars start falling.

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.

I'm with you my love,
The light's shinin' through on you.
Yes, I'm with you my love,
It's the morning and just we two.
I'll stay with you darling now,
I'll stay with you till my seeds are all dried up.

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love.


Hearing these songs made him think. He had come to a Crossroads in life. He had no idea were to go after everything with this group was done. And, he kept thinking about Metal. Was it love? Was it just an attraction? Was he crazy? Prism didn't know anymore. He needed help with what to do. Maybe when all this is done, I'll talk to Dia. She might give me some good advice.

"I'm going to leave and remain here." He replied with a grin. Standing, a large bubble formed on his back and fell off. The ball of protoplasmic flesh reformed into a clone. "Cya Woodbrain."

James departed while the clone remained and began glaring at Wood/Bellis.

"Tell you what Haze, I'll see about it anyways, but if you don't feel like moving forward, then I'll drop it.

"Now, are we going to do anything about the Prism situation or not?"

Haze looked at him and said, "Maybe you can help me. We should visit your master soon."

Nightwing then said, "Yes we will be doing something about him. As soon as we find out where he is." He then ran over to a computer.

Mr. Bellis looked at him and shook his head. He then began walking towards his room. He thought to himself, What a pure idiot? The wood spirit replied, Agreed.

After he'd left and was on his way back to Europe by plane, James thought at Water, Is Woody always so much of an ass?

Prims walked out of his room. He found the three elementals standing there. He asked them a question. "When do you think we are going to attack Omnio?"

Wood replied, "As soon as you and Morph master your two new elements."

==================================================================

Water replied, Wood couldn't help himself when he found out there was an even bigger ass than himself in the room.

And what do you mean by that? He mentally asked as the plane began it's decent into Katigasnia.

OOC: Where are Hype and Blastit?

And what do you mean by that? He mentally asked as the plane began it's decent into Katigasnia.

Water laughed and said, Do you not think that you were being quite rude to Wood?

OOC: It's a very long story.

"And how do I get to that? Is it gradual or do I get it from training?"

No, no more than he deserved at least. He thought back.

The water spirit replied, Agreed. So what do you plan to do with that clone? Use it to harass Wood?

==============================================================

Metal than said, "It will come with training and with the knowing of your spirit better. The other one, Adish, couldn't master fire not because he didn't train, but because he didn't trust the spirit inside of him."

A bit, but more to eavesdrop and spy on him. He replied as the plane touched down and he headed home.

"Okay, cool. So, what do I do now? Just chill train, sparr someone, anything?"

Water replied to Morph, You're a smart guy. So how is Katigasnian life? Boring...exciting, let's hear it.

Metal looked at him and said, "I recommend that you bond more with your spirit. I see that he has already release lava to you. You should be thankful because that is a rarity. Adish got about a month before he fought you. You got it in a day."

Prism smiled at Metal. "Alright then, I'll catch you later." Prism returned to his room. He chilled. He asked the spirirt again, Music or no music? So, you want to talk first, or should I talk first, or whatever. Enlighten me.

The spirit replied, You can talk first. Doesn't matter to me with the music.

Alucard had finished his brutal interogation of Masozi as he circled around the defeated demon. Through his piercing orange glasses he could see the life die out from the viper like an evaporating mist.

"No one in heaven or hell can defeat me, nor can they give me what I want." The pale figure said reaching towards the sky. "When your allies contact you again, give me their location and I will arrange a bargain for them. Then you are free Tragic Viper."

Masozi laid on the ground limp, struggling to stay alive while Alucard continued to ramble.

"As you seek freedom, I seek servitude." The Hellish figure grinned dawning his fangs.

Wood, Metal, and Earth walked into a room. Wood looked at Metal and said, "We need to contact Masozi soon. So that he can meet the new bodies"

Metal nodded in agreement. She then said, "I wonder where he is now." Earth closed her eyes and found him. "He is underneath us. We will summon him tomorrow," she replied.

Wood replied, "Fine."

Prism started. I was born in Britain. I discovered my fire powers early in life, and they never were a problem. However, I discovered my beam powers later, and I fled after I accidently killed someone. I moved to West Germany, and became an assasain there. I worked with others like me, superbeings. There I met the only woman I have ever loved. She died in combat, and I never loved again. All though I mus admit, I'm having feelings for Metal, but I can't tell if it's love yet. Anyway, after the Berlin Wall fell, I moved to America. I was still an assasain, but I rarely worked. I started a band to cover my expenses. Then, I got a ccall from a man called Enertro. He flew me down to Brazil, where I saved him from a mercenary hero. I joined him, followed, him, then fought Morph in Mexico. Then, I thought Enertro betrayed me. So I found a group who I became friends with, and I summoned a demon, which we couldn't control. So I sent it to hell. I could have killed Enertro, but his wife Dia, who I had become friends with, managed to bring sense to me. And now I'm here. So what about you?

Fire replied, Well that was a quick story. Than he began, Well I was born over a thousand years ago. At a young age I discovered my pyrokinetic abilities. Because of my clan I was an immortal so I had many days to hone my skills. I mastered every aspect of fire. Down to the slightest degree. I met Metal who I was madly in love with. She broke my heart soon before Omino came. She told me she didn't want a relationship. I still have strong feelings for the spirit of Metal even though she might not have the same ones. Well a couple weeks later we, the Elementals, had a meeting here in the temple. When we arrived here we had a visitor. He challenged us. We each decided to fight him one-on-one. That was our fatal mistake. He destroyed each of our bodies. Even though our bodies died our spirits didn't. We seeked out bodies and now we want our revenge. Shall I continue?"

Married life is quite enjoyable. He replied

Meanwhile the copy had been following Metal, Earth and Woody around. As it passed what it heard on to him, he added, How much do the others confide in you or let you know what's going on?

Go on. Prism replied.

OOC: Wooshaba can you tell me in a tg what happen to Hype?

OOC: I'd rather not but if you insist...

IC: The fire spirit continued, After our souls, or spirits which some prefer, were released we had to search for new bodies. Water and myself made the mistake of picking the wrong people. We picked terrible bodies. Even though they lasted for a long time it still was to easy for us to be defeated. Those bodies weren't strong enough to challenge Omino. We fought through at least a hundred people looking for bodies. Finally we saw you two on the news and knew that y'all were the bodies we needed. We tracked you two down and submitted challenges. Well not really submitted but forced challenges onto you. Both of you defeated our former bodies and we went into your bodies. He waited for a reply.

=============================================================

Water replied, I know what they are talking about because I am connected to my brotheren at this time. You two need to meet Masozi so that he will approve of you.


=============================================================

Earth looked over her shoulder to see that annoying water clone standing behind them. She pointed it out to Wood and Metal. Metal simply said, "Ignore it."

Tell me about it, Prism said. Well, my life wasn't very good. Like I said, I was a soldier in a group of superbeings like me. I met the love of my life, she died, others died, I lost friends, and had to kill my best friend because we had become rivals. It was some bad times. So when the Wall fell, I fled to America. I thought I could get a good life, and I did. I loved my band. I played bass, but I should have been lead guitar. Whatever. Then I got the call from Enertro, and the rest is history.

OOC- BRB, Going to lunch. By the way Woosh, is it okay if I do a backstory for Prism? Like in his thoughts?

Well there's no way that's going to happen, especially considering I don't and won't approve of it. I don't work with demons, no ifs ands or buts. He replied

You really have no choice my friend. Why must you insist to be so stubborn?

=============================================================

Fire replied, Yep, life can suck. He then said, So what songs do you have on that MP3 player anyway?

OOC: Yeah you can do a backstory Breit in his thoughts.

OOC: i don't think I got your tg Wooshaba

OOC: i don't think I got your tg Wooshaba

OOC-I don't think he sent it. It's something best not said until Hype tells you herself. So don't worry about it, it's better this way.

IC- I've got a lot. I'll just tell you the bands. Ahem. Pink Floyd, Green Day, Metalica, Nirvana, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, Pearl Jam, David Bowie, Queen, Radiohead, The Doors Cream, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Wolfmother, Led Zeppelin, Boston, and some others I forgot. Prism's mind began to wander. He remembered the days when he worked for Germany...

Years ago, when the Berlin Wall was still up....


A man walked with a younger Prism in a secret facility. Although he was German, he spoke English fluently. "Well, it's good to see you decided to take our job offer Floyd."

"I needed work, so I might as well give this a shot."

"Yes. Well, here is the rest of your team."

Prism walked into a room full of people. There was five of them. They all stood up and greeted him. One was known as Lizard King, with the bizare ability to change into a lizardlike human, complete with all the abilities one could think of a lizard having. Then there was Smoke, who had no superpowers, but had a multitude of gear and gadgets, including a cloaking device. Next was Ohw, who could cripple people's senses, as well create energy balls. However, the two most important members came next. There was Zeppelin, who could fly, break metal, and shot solar rays. He was the leader of the group, and became Prism's best friend. Next was Interstellar, who become the love of Prism's life. She could create hallucinations in people, and had mystical powers.

After meeting all of them, they all talked. Thats when Zeppelin said "So, Floyd, what's your nickname?" Prism, who still went by Floyd, was surprised. "I don't have one." Interstellar, whose real name was Emily Mason, said. "Well, since you like Pink Floyd so much, like I do, and you where that Darkside of the moon shirt, how about Prism?" He smiled at this remark. "Sounds cool. I think I'll take it." Prism remembered being happy for one of the first times in his life at that moment...

Why must you? And there is always a choice. He replied

How am I stubborn? You will have to meet the demon, Masozi and that is final, the water spirit retorted.

A few years after the meeting....

Prism was enjoying life. He was working for Germany, and fighting criminals and other things. He was amoung friends as well. Him and Zeppelin had grown to become best friends. They were also vicious in battle fighting tat team and catching everything off guard. However, what Prism was happiest about was Interstellar. He was in love with her, and she with him. And yet, this never threatened the team at all. They just continued onward.


One day, Prism confronted Interstellar. He asked her to marry him. She said yes after some thought, and the two were engaged. Prism was never happier in his entire life, he never felt that he loved someone as much as when he was with Interstellar that night. However, it was not to be.



The day the Wall was set to be destroyed, the team got word that a Soviet superbeing known as Neopon was attempting to assasainate Regan and the other leaders, in order to keep Communism going. The team went to stop him, but all of them except for Prism and Interstellar were mysteriously knocked unconcious before they reached the spot where Neopon was. His powers were energy expulsion in all forms almost. They did battle, and it was almost even. However, Neopon knocked Prism to the ground. As he was about to kill him, Interstellar attacked him. She was powerful, but not enough. Neopon sent a piercing beam of energy through her heart. She crumpled to the ground. Seeing this, Prism went mad. He crushed Neopon and saved Regan. He talked to Interstellar in he rlast moments of life, and she told him that she loved him before she died.



For weeks after the battle, Prism was depressed. He hardly ate or slept. All he did was weep and listen to music. Finally, one day he had enough. He took a pistol. He was about to kill hmself when Zeppelin stepped in. He managed to keep Prism from killing himself, saying that he was still his friend, and that Interstellar wouldn't want him to do this. Prism agreed, and a day after, he quit the team...

For one, you insist I meet the demon, for another you've been holding a grudge for centuries, that's pretty stubborn. He commented, And I am not meeting him, he can meet one of my clones but I refuse to meet him.

A Year After the Death of Interstellar....

Prism was still living in Germany. He had not seen the team for a year. He was living on royalties from the government. One day, he recieved a surprise visit. It was Zeppelin.

"What do you want?" Prism asked.

"You. Do you realize what you did? You left so selfishly."

"I had things I needed to take care of."

"That's not an excuse. You're the reason Interstellar died."

Prism got up and started to yell. "I'm the reason? At least I was there! I didn't just get knocked out and make two people fight a superpowerful villian alone!"

"But you did let her die."

"I loved her more than you can know! If I had the choice, I would have died with her." Prism eyes were beginning to water.

"And here's some more news for you. You killed my team. A few days after you left, we were ambushed by a group of terrorists loyal to Neopon. Because you killed him, they slaughtered us. They're all dead, Prism. All because of you."

"And what do you want me to do about it?"

"I want you to die."

"Maybe you should have let me killed myself."

"I should have killed you myself."

The two launched into a ferocious battle. It lasted hours. Finally, Prism came out victorious.

"Prism, I used to be your friend. But you killed that friendship when you killed the rest of the team. When you die, I'll get my victory."

Prism didn't respond. He blasted Zeppelin in the stomach with a beam killng him. After this event, Prism moved to America, lived in New Jersey, and started a band. And that's what happened.


The Present....

Prism held his face in his hands. He wasn't crying, but he was in pain. He never told anyone about that. He lifted his head, collapsed in a chair. I need help, or a life.

Prism put his MP3 player on. An Ozzy Osbourne song came on. No More Tears. Prism rolled his eyes. Ironic.

OOC-TG Blastit.

Fire replied, Yep. Prism's life had been a very tragic one.

=============================================================

Water then told him, I must be present when we speak to Masozi. We will be summoned together.

And you must be present why? Oh, I'll need you to disappear till I call for you, and same thing with the 'tattoo'. He thought back as he caught sight of his wife and planned to surprise her, even though he 'hadn't' gone anywhere.

I am apart of the Elementals aren't I. Water gazed through Morph's eyes at his wife. He then said, You have a lovely wife. I'll give you sometime alone.

The spirit seemingly disappeared from Morph's head.

Some hours, and a full night later, James thought out, Are you there, and why don't you just let them fill you in once it's done, or listen in through me?

I don't want to listen. I want to be present. That way if I want to object to anything I can. You will not get hurt by meeting Masozi. He isn't even half the demon he used to be.

I can always protest on your behalf, and half a demon is too much of one for me. He replied

What do you protest on my behalf, Sean? The spirit asked.

Linguistics. I meant if you had a problem with something that happened with your silly friends and the demon that you found distasteful, I'd speak through my clone for you. He replied

I guess that is somewhat reasonable, but I still would rather be present.

How well can you position yourself within my body, could you say position yourself in my foot? He asked

The spirit replied, The bottom of your foot, huh? How about you stick your foot up your arse! He then began to grumble.

Oh well, if you don't want a semi-independent body... He thought with a sigh.

The spirit cheered up and said, Glad that you are giving in. You wouldn't have to stay near the demon for a long time. At the most an hour or two...

You don't get it, my primary consiousness wouldn't be there, but yours would be. You'd have in essence, a seperate body of your very own, thought I would retain an 'override'. He thought back with a smile. If it wouldn't tempt the spirit not much would.

My own body? No, it would still be apart of you. Just a clone without a brain. I would rather go there in your original body with you also in attendance. The spirit would not give in.

And if my option is the only way you'll go, also what make this body so important? He asked, knowing a major reason but wondering at Water's reasoning.

OOC: Ok I have finally returned home and will be on daily now. So what should we do with Arthur also can I start a new character?

Prism though to Fire. Is there anymore bonding we have to do, or do we move on do something different?

Prism was pacing around the room. He was a bit thrown off by everything that had happened in the last few days. He wondered what he would do after this. He thought to Fire. Any suggestions?
