The five mages screamed in pain as it happened..

"We... are... not... as ... weak... as.. you... think!" Harold said Grimicing through the pain as he changed his body, shifted it back to normal and he fell down onto the ground. Casting their own versions of the spell Adrian and the others landed back on the ground as well.

"Resist it Billie." exclaimed Adrian cheering him on.

Billie tried to resist the compusion but came closer to the alter holding tight to his sword and shield he spoke to Tajen. "Oh, How about I don't?! I will not submit to you nor your twisted family."

His uncle... Billie wondered who possible Tajen's uncle would be but in terms of actions he griped his shield and Katana tightly ready for whatever might happen. From what he had heard of Kajeenith he needed to be ready for anything if Tajeen was anything like his father.

Everything flickered. Tajen seemed to change, but only slightly.

"Geheh. Then come and let us destroy each other. I may not be able to become Father yet, but I don't need to to kill you." Tajen said, half-way transformed into his Father.

The Energies of the room, of the five mages, and of Billie began to flow into Tajen, as all color drained into a Black Void.

"Remora was absorbed by The Void years ago. It is the Voids greatest feat, becoming that which was destroyed. you are trapped in My Void, the Void of my Father, Kajeenith, My uncle, erafraW, and Grandfather Omega, the end of all things. Today shall be your end." Tajen said.

He gripped The Sword of Dissolution tightly. He hit Billie harder than Billie had ever been struck with a sword before in his entire life, and by the sword's effects, Billie's armor recieved a great hole in it, as the Molecular Bonds were shattered and the atoms scattered.

As for the mages, He changed the Void with his mind, Five great spears came at each mage individually, to make 25 spears in all, five for each mage. They may not have been real, they might have been illusions, but nothing existed in the void, thus there was no diffrence between Illusion and Reality, thus, the 25 spears were very deadly.

"You know what we're going to do next? Father, Uncle, Grandfather and I, we're all going to become one. And when we've become one, not even your precious Omnisource can stop us. Already I block you from him now. You can feel it. Your just as weak as Rahegalhoff was. Since we'll be unstoppable, we're going to Destroy Omnisource, for commiting the most grevious sin of them all, the sin of existing." Tajen said.

"You may be able to make illusions." Billie retorted "but you won't be able to illusion *this* away." said Billie as he thrusted his his Katana into Tajeen's side.

For the Mages, a sudden downforce wind took the spears down from their trajectory and forced them to land short of their intended targets. It was Ian who took out the Spears while the others sent shots of lightning towards Tajeen.

"Can't I?" as Tajen's form swirled all around the Blade as it passed Quite harmlessly through his body.

"My, it seems I did Illusion that away." Tajen said.

The Lightning disappeared into Tajen's Trenchcoat.

Then their Lightning Bolts shot back at them, only they weren't their Lightning bolts anymore, so they couldn't just be willed away. Now they'd have to counterspell themselves.

Whenever two or more are gathered in my name, there shall I also be.
-Words of The Omni.

the Memory of those words struck Billie like a brutal handslap accross the cheeks. If Tajen was destruction, and Omni was Creation...

OOC: Then you need to remember these things, and continue thinking outside the box. You've had the tools all along, I gave them to you. You just don't remember them.

Tajen is blocking you from Omni, not Omni from you.

There are five mages to help Billie. Even Xos will till you sometimes a Prayer is better than magic.

The whole problem is, Tajen is destruction, and uncreation. thus, he can uncreate his body at will. He can uncreate your spells, everything. Yet, if you had a source of Creation, then you could force his body to remain, and your spells could not be uncreated, thus, Tajen is easily defeated.

But don't think that just because Tajen will be defeated within one or two posts of getting Omni's blessing that Kajeenith, erafraW and Omega are all pushovers. Each one's deadlier than the last, and Omega is the only one who could concievably destroy all of NS by destroying the Crystal of The Heart of Creation.

After seeing what Kajeenith had done Billie recoiled in horror. What could he do, he was going to end up like Rahegalhoff, but no something was different. He had his friends with him, Rahegalhoff was all alone. It was in this darkest of times that his heart cried out once again to the Omnisource. But no response he couldn't reach him and then inexplicably the words "Whenever two or more are gathered in my name, there shall I also be." directly from the Omni floated through his mind. How could he be so forgetful,

He continued moving back but with renewed purpose. The mages struggled countering their own spells. Adrian and Charlie failed getting struck by their own spells, yet they where still alive. He had a renewed Aura of Authority but onyl because he knew what needed to be done. "Pray with me... He will help us."

The surety of his words calmed and soothed the others that were still there and they all joined in.

"Creator of all, we pray to you. We may not be able to feel your prescence but here we are gathered together in your name. Come to us and help us, we need you. We can do nothing without you." They all said "Amen." Unsure of exactly why they did so, they just seemed to know to do so. They finished and waited for their deliverance.

The Mages fingertips Glowed Gold, a sure sign they were blessed.

Billie's sword Blowed brighter than the Mage's fingertips.

Meanwhile, a massive two tone Boulder straight out of an Indiana Jones movie was bearing down on them like a freight Train.

A new confidence had entered all the mages, Using the same space shield the mages let the ball right over them and Billie, Performing minor alterations to the shape of the shield the managed to direct the boulder towards Tajeen.

It bowled Tajen over, literally.

Tajen altered the Void. It became a single room, that began to close in on them. The walls could not be breached. He intended to crush them to death.

While Tajeen intended to crush them to death The Garbage Men had a different idea.

Billie once again slashed at Tajeen. "Now, let's try this again." he said with a smirk on his face.

The mages once again did there lightning bolts however Adrian decidning to be different shot ball of ice at Tajeen. They all seemed in great spirits. Hopefully now that it seemed Tajeen's minutes were numbered the danger of the encroaching wall would be numbered too.

Tajen absorbed the damage, and showed no reaction. The walls shot spikes outward.

OOC: you won't know how hurt he is, until he leaves.

Billie confident that he was damaging kept on going using his shield and sword just as Rahegalhoff had taught him. Defending yet taking the opportunity to strike. And in between the freezing of ice, Fireballs and lightning from the mages. Billie had his work cut out for him choosing the times to attack.

The mages had started to get more concerned as the spikes got closer and closer. But no way, knowing what Tajen had in store for them would they give up.

Tajen stubled backwards.

"I'm not finished with you yet, but more importantly, I have other Realities to destroy. You win the battle, but I'll be damned if your going to win the war." Tajen said.

They found themselves back in the desecrated temple, but it was completly bare.

Rahegalhoff walked in from a hallway.

"Ahh, there you are. You should be careful Kajeenith's children are here too, and their very deadly." he said.

As Tajen disappeared the room returned to normal, and the mages breathed a sigh of relief, Billie immeadiately noticed that indeed the sacrificed Rahegalhoff was indeed just an image of trickery, he should have known, he should have realised the Starfire didn't come with them. Though he did learn a valuable lessen about observation. If something doesn't seem right then it isn't. Billie had to trust both in his own abilities as well as the Omnisource if he was ever going to make it as a full Paladin.

"We already know." said Billie... "We meet Tajeen."

"We already know." said Billie... "We meet Tajeen."

"Tajeen's here too? I knew Tajen and Nitha were. Hell, if two of them are together that's going to be more trouble than we can decently handle. anyways, I found two gate switches. Lets get moving to the second floor. If we can find all six, one on each floor, and make it to the top of Shadowlord's central Tower, then we can escape this madhouse." Rahegalhoff said.

Noticing their glowing fingers and sword.

"I see you figured out the secret to beating Nothing."

He looked around.

"What's back that way?" he asked indicating the jail area they had come from.

"Prison cells..." said Adrian.

"The only way out that I found lead here, where we found Tajeen." added Billie


"So, where too now?" asked Harold.

"Prison cells..." said Adrian.

"The only way out that I found lead here, where we found Tajeen." added Billie


"So, where too now?" asked Harold.

"Hmm. Let me see. There's tricks and secret Passageways in this place." Rahegalhoff said.

He walked towards what Adrian said were prison cells, only to find the entire Layout of the castle had changed. They were in a long stone hallway.

One could spend hours describing in Delicate Detail how all seven of them trapsed upstairs and downstairs in elevators and out of elevators through rooms and into dead ends only to turn around and find the way. But absolutly nothing bothered them, because The ministry feared Rahegalhoff.
Instead they spent their energy trying to seperate them, and confound and confuse the legend. But Rahegalhoff was perhaps the most experienced Dungeon Crawler known, and quickly pointed out the tricks and traps and secrets. They needed no light, for Rahegalhoff's sword glowed naturally.

Just how big was this castle? They seemed to have been walking for hours on end, but as Rahegalhoff often pointed out, Time was another Illusion in this place.

Then finally, he lead them out into the central courtyard, in which an entire city was held. Well, it was actually a small village, but Shadowlord castle was unbelievably huge. Villagers went about their business, seemingly unaware of anything, or anyone. Nor did they notice the bonfire in the center.

"A dead town, filled with lifeless, souless people. There is no hope, and no Salvation for them. They spurn it and turn it away. Look well, and hope you never lay eyes on Necro Town again." Rahegalhoff said.

They followed learning the sneaky dungeoning ways as they went. A living castle is very hard to outwit but he did it they followed outside and into the town. They couldn't believe thay they had no hope, the fire could have been put out but these people lived without hope. Something that none of them could even dream of, the people lived without living doing the motion. They were not horrified by what they saw but were sort of morbidly interested in a town that had killed of all hope and with it themselves too.

They were not horrified by what they saw but were sort of morbidly interested in a town that had killed of all hope and with it themselves too.

Rahegalhoff lead them to the bonfire.

They could feel in each person in "Living" in this town, a power that made them feel sick and disgusted, as though they had found a dead body or something.

Though the Magi-masters had wanted it to be in a safer environment, Harold and the others including Billie felt for the very first time, The power of Necromancy. This was a town full of Necromancers.

"There is hope. You don't have to continue living like this. Turn to the Omni and stop living in Despair." Rahegalhoff said to a passing woman.

"Don't talk to me about redemption. I want to live here. This is Paradise. I sold my soul and my body to The Darkness, and it gave me what I deserve." the woman said. She had no idea how true her words were.

She shuffled off.

"See?" he said.

"They have been told ties for so long that they can no longer see the truth." Billie commented.

The others didn't like the feeling of this place, it wasn't so much the necromancy, but that was apart of it. It was the more to do with the sheer hopelessness not despair but, but the despair they should feel but don't.

"Uh, lets get out of here." said Adrian who was most unvomfortable living there

The woman Rahegalhoff tried to save, simply sat down and started screaming at the top of her lungs.

Then, one by one, the entire Village followed suit.

The Flames of the Bonfire shot upwards, and mushroomed out.

Then, HE came from the fire, wings beating heavily.

His Wings were black, his robes were Blue. He carried a great sharp sword. He was absolutly beautiful, because he was one of those cast out of Paradise.

Apollyon the Arch Demon had come to fight.

Fire shot out at each mage, Billie, and Rahegalhoff in turn.

OOC:I don't know where the concept of ugly demons came from, but I've never seen where it said that the demons became ugly just for being cast out. So, here's a diffrent version.

They took multiple steps back from the flame whenit mushroomed out, immeadiately hearing the screams they knew something was going to happen but what they didn't know and that was when Apolyon appeared out of the Bonfire.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was a demon and about to attack them they would of thought that he was beautiful but no they were on their edge and then when fire shot out they managed to physically react in time to dodge away. In seeming instinctual reaction they used water-based Ice magic shooting shards of ice at the demon.

Billie had just enough time to use the shield to direct the fire to his side, avoiding as much contact with the actual fire as possible

Rahegalhoff looked at Billie, and both just kinda knew their place was going toe to toe with the monster and helping defend the mages.

Rahegalhoff charged Apollyon, while Billie was left to think of defences.

Truely the fight was impressive, one that would keep any audience on the edge of their seat, but Rahegalhoff took a great blow and was knocked backwards on his rear.

Apollyon turned and Shot Hellfire at them. It wouldn't go out with plain old ordinary water. It would take Holy Water. Billie was qualified to bless water and make it holy, but would he and the mages think to combine his holy blessing and their water magic in time? would they think of another way out?

Rahegalhoff didn't know. He was unconciouss.

While Rahegalhoff was going toe to toe with the demon Billie decided to bless the mages themselves, this way their water spells would be blest when cast instead of just blest after they cast, Billie just finished blessing the last of them when Rahgelloff came flying back from the hit. They knew the spell to cast almost without anyone saying anything, they created a water shield to surround them, and while it was casted by the mages who were blest their shield was blest too extinguishing the bolts of helfire that had been thrown at them.

Apollyon turned on Billie, and winged his way over. His sword was very sharp. It went straight for his heart.

The mages letting the water shield lapse spread around and kept created balls of blest water and flung them towards the Billie, however focused his energies on defense, prefering to physically stay out of the path of the blade, but in this case it would be a pretty hard thing to do so. He had to use his sword and shield. To block against the attacks of the demon.

The Demon used his wings to shield against the water. Something seemed to change, and the water just splashed harmlessly against it, as it drew immunity to water.

Meanwhile, using its sword attacks to distract Bille, Apollyon went for a kick with his hard steel boots straight for a certain tender area no man ever really wants kicked.

Rahegalhoff sat straight up.

OOC: Temporarily Offline. You know why, your in the Mirror invasion.

The mages changed their attacks flinging blest crystals of ice at the Demon meanwhile Billie managed to react just in time to avoid getting hit in his aforementioned part, however though he still get kicked and landed right next to Rahegalhoff, sliding along the ground. He was sore but glad he was not sorer.

He was sore but glad he was not sorer.

apollyon turned his focus to the mages. The Ice hit him, and he broke into a huge batswarm, and clustered around the five mages, bitting and scratching them.

Rahegalhoff stood.

"My turn, you rest." he told Billie.

Billie nodded he was winded and saw he wanted to attack the demon but saw the wisdom in Rahegalhoff's plan. Billie managed to get to his feet ready but he waited.

Meanwhile Ian remembered the glyph, the water glyph that caused a river to flow, Meanwhile others prepared to create an iceshield. The incantations were started and Ian made it just within the shield. As he started to control the water flowing flinging balls of it at myriad of bats surely he thought the water would be blest. Anyway that is what he hoped.

OOC: Welcome back.

OOC: Welcome back.

The water didn't work, as, amusingly enough, the bats were trapped inside the Ice of the ice shield.

The heard Rahegalhoff's laughter.

"silly demons, getting caught within ice shields."

It was hard to concentrate for the mages, getting scratched and bitten by the multitude of Bats, but they needed to get out of the shield. As long as it holds it acts just as well to keep things in as it keeps things out.

The five of them teleported out of the Ice Sheild and started discussing among themselves what to do next. The shield should last for a bit but it won't hold up for long and so they needed to decide how to deal with Apollyon in a more permanent manner. Adrian suggested filling up the shield with Ice and so encase every single bat in the shield with ice, which would at least allow everyone to leave.

Rahegalhoff was simply waiting for something to happen, it was intresting to note, he was actually literally shining with power. He was praying. He knew Arch demons were not so easy to beat, and so he was going to be prepared.

Billie also started to pray, asking for guidance and the ability to defeat the arch-demon.

Meanwhile the mages had made a decision, they would fill the inside of the Shield with ice. totally encasing all the bats inside in ice. They cast the spell and say the entire shield turninto whast looked like a single domed block of ice.

The Bonfire Flares and melts the Block of Ice.

Protect the Mages.

The words filter into Billie's mind, and he suddenly gets the urge to move them to the otherside of the Bonfire.

The urge was put into action... "Other side... now." he commanded the mages and they had an idea that trapping the demon in ice was an idea that would make the demon not happy, not happy indeed.

They moved quickly onto the other side of the bonfire Billie helping to ensure, looking out for any threats that could attack them.

They moved quickly onto the other side of the bonfire Billie helping to ensure, looking out for any threats that could attack them.

Rahegalhoff whistled a strange Melody, and Starfire appeared beside him. He jumped on his Alicorn as Apollyon took Flight. He followed him out into the nightsky.

Starfire's Horn Flared, and a Shield Apollyon could not pass was erected around the dark moon of Remora.

The spot where the mages were shook open to reveal a Chasim to hell. Good thing Billie moved them.

Up in the Sky, they could see Rahegalhoff Leap off Starfire and Tackle Apollyon, both began falling to the surface of Remora, burning because of the friction in the atmosphere.

They traded blows like two desperate madmen knowing that the victor would decide the mages fate.

Rahegalhoff's neck amulet flashed at the top of Shadowlord's Castle Shifting Apollyon and Rahegalhoff to the wall.

They moved up and down, left and right, all over the wall.

Rahegalhoff's armor was torn, and he was injured, but Apollyon was in an even worse condition, having both wings sheared off.

They leaped onto the rooftops, leaping from Rooftop to rooftop, attacking each other using ranged magic attacks, Rahegalhoff's sword having the ability to shoot magic.

they both leaped onto a cart carrying many bolts of cloth, and as they both struggled to get up they began punching each other.

Rahegalhoff stood brought his sword back in an epic pose, as though ready for the final Blow, Apollyon stood up and stumbled back wards and was at the edge of the Hell hole.

Suddenly, Rahegalhoff, Bille, and Starfire disappeared, as Rahegalhoff used his ultimate attack, Attack of the Host.

Thunder rumbled from above, and the heavens split open.

A great multitude of beings thundered down from above, each carrying a great sharp sword.

Leading them all was Rahegalhoff riding Starfire, and they were both in perfect condition, and behind them was Billie on his horse!

They thundered down onto the plains, past and through Apollyon, each person striking Apollyon as they past.

It was more than apollyon could bear, and he exploded with a firey yell.

The Hell hole closed, and the Host disappeared. Rahegalhoff and Billie reappeared next to the mages.

"Are you ok?" he asked.

A slightly group of mages looked around at each other. "Yes, we're fine."

Curious Adrian asked, "So what was with those screatchings? Did they summon the demon or did the demon just come or what?"

"Either way, I think we should move on." said Billie

"Dark Magic is best left alone." Rahegalhoff said.

He lead them to the central Tower.

they wanted to go up, so of course they headed down. In Shadowlord's twisted mind, going down to go up made perfect sense. So he made his central Tower so twisted, it would take all six of them to puzzle their way through it.

But fortunatly, nothing much bothered them, until they got to the observation lounge.

A beam of green energy hit Rahegalhoff and Billie, and they became stone statues.

Darkness overtook them and hid them.

The mages were alone.

Them, and a woman. The first thing most people thought when they saw her, was God that woman loves pink. Pink Hair, Pink Clothes, Pink colored eyes, pink boots. Pink Gloves. Pink eneregy coming out of her skin, which lead people to their second thought: "Oh no! The Demoness of Elru!"

"So, you've made it this far. I'm Id, The Demoness of Elru. Such a pleasure to meet five strong men like yourself. Its just a shame I have to kill you. I would've loved to do things to you you never would've forgotten, Taught you some tricks even the Magi-masters don't know." The Demoness said.

She disappeared, and they were sealed in.

She reappeared, and punched Billie square in the area just below the belt. Disappeared, and Kicked Ian in the head as she reappeared. She leaped away, and threw up an Anti-magic barrier between them and her.

"It's a shame because, really, I'd like for you to some friends of ours." Said Harold, Ian seemingly picking up what Harold was getting at added in.

"So, I suppose you'll just have to meet them now." he chimed in, they started summoning something, something that they all knew but something that the Demoness probably knew nothing about.

Soon enough, as everyone had finished casting 5 Trash Slimes appeared their side of the magic Barrier. Immediately recognising the threat of the Demoness, they attacked. One had a slight green tinge and could spit acid, another was a bit of a mixture of colours, it could belch noxious gases, the third Trash Slime was cloudy white it could assorb virtually anything into and so could on call take up almost an unlimited array of properties. The fourth could mix 2 chemicals together and generate flame, it was red. A fifth was clear, purely transparent it had light bouncing internally as it maintained total internal reflection while still moving around. It could shoot something very much like a laser at any target, even multiple targets at once.

They finished casting and were ready to respond to Id's reactions, particularing having there own teleport spells ready.

"EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY! ICKY!"

Said The Demones as she appeared on the ceiling.

The Demoness banished The Law of Gravity. A Pink Rubber Barrier appeared around her.

Then she accelerated her entire Moleculer structer 100 times over. Then she pushed off the walls, using her entire body as a weapon. This became appearent as Spikes erupted out of her body.

She didn't care who or what she crashed into. Person, Slime, doorway leading to The Two Paladins and freedom. As she crashed she bounced like a superball.

Charlie had to teleport out of the way of the super bouncing, he couldn't leap because he was floating in mid air, while the others seeing Id's reaction to the Trash Slimes made a quick decision all at the same time.

They summoned various pieces rubbish all in their own way gross from animals droppings, to rancid Banana skins to icky globby stuff that you probably don't want to know where it came from, all of this was put in her Path as she continued to bounce and move around. It ended finally in a small grouping of loosely piled trash, the gunk that you would find at the bottom of a dumpster that had been there rotting for who knows how long.

The remains of the pile scattered around in the zero G environment and looked almost like a slow motion explosion as they tumbled in almost every direction despite being slow some of it did hit the mages, but they didn't care they had spent their whole lives one way or another surrounded by rubbish and getting some on their clothes happened almost everyday.

Id sobbed.

"My pretty pink dress." She quietly sobbed.

then she stopped, dead. In the center of the room.

"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS! I'M GOING TO BURNINATE ALL OF YOU!" She screamed.

Then she burst into a superheated fire. The walls, made of stone, began to melt. Then she turned and began to rambash the mages one by one, at supersonic speeds.

It was now time for the natural enemy of the stain, and grot. The Washing machine but magical messes required magic as Ian once again did his water glyph on the ground cooling down the area, Harold and Adrian added in Tornadoes sucking up the water and Charlie and Zane summoned some of the most appropriate cleaning agents that existed in TGM, including some washing machine liquid. Add all these three components together and they had constructed not only the worlds largest washing machine but the worlds first entirely magical washing machine as well.

They also threw in a couple of red items of clothing just so that not only the clothes got washed but there was another source of red should the pink get washed out. Which is what they all thought would happen.

The Tornadoes span around and feed of each other creating figure 8 movement for everything caught in it's mandibles of cleanliness.

"ENOUGH!" Came the strong voice.

this voice was new. it was darker than any other.

The Magic washing machine was just, gone, as was the demoness.

Before them now, was the most dangerous entity thay had ever been face to face with.

Kajeenith, the Mad God had come to Play.

"So, you must think your awfully strong. I wonder just how strong you really are." he said.

Billie's statue came flying towards Kajeenith.

Kajeenith punched it, and it shattered.

Billie rolled helplessly along the ground to the mages, free from the statue.

"Geheh. I hope you enjoyed existing."

Then, as The Castle rattled to pieces around him, and ceased to exist, he flew at them, using his fist to strike a blow stronger than any they had ever felt, and likely would ever feel again.

This was no casual battle of something their Equal. Kajeenith was far out of their league, and could easily remove all of Remora from creation.

The Aim was to survive for as long as possible, and that meant staying away as much as possible from the mad Kajeenith

They each summoned something to help neutralise the god of the void. Not fluffy cushions, nor blocks of lead but bags of generic household rubbish, rubbish that you could find almost anywhere in existance. He hit the bags but still the punch knocked the mages around. Billie meanwhile had his sword, his Katanna, drawn and and he looked for some way he could defend the mages, and so he prayed a pray asking for guidance and the power to defend the mages from the source of uncreation.

Don't be a Coward, Get in there and fight! - The Omni.

appearently, all Billie needed was his own sweet self, as his armor was glowing with Omni's golden power in response to Kajeenith's presence, but was he really brave enough to fight Kajeenith directly?

"Trash should be burned."

The air began to burn.
Kajeenith brought his hands together, Time flickered into fast forward for Kajeenith, and into Slow Motion for the mages.

He pointed at them, The number five appeared on their heads.

"Five seconds till you Blow..."

Could they figure out an appropriate counterspell in time?

Ian knew the most about bombs and the choices were direct the explosion elsewhere or make it so it never exploded in the first place, Quickly he pondered as the time ticked down from 5 to 4...

That's it, the number, he could feel that the number was the thing that he was concerned about. If only he could take the number away...

the number ticked from 4 to 3...

That's it, the number is only on the top serface layer of the skin, on the epidermis, a layer of dead skin, concentrating hard he managed to lift the layer of dead skin from off his own head, using a spell and threw it at Kajeenith

3 to 2..

Others followed suit as well, with various levels of success, some Adrian and Zane took a bit too much off, while others just barely took enough Zane and Adrian and slightly red foreheads because of the skin.

2 to 1

The skin flew in the air... towards kajeenith Counting down... to detonation...

...0

As soon as the numbers exploded Billie used the opportunity as well as the lift from the mages determining what to do and turning it against Billie. The Glow of his Armour reminded him that he was not alone with the mages the Omnisource was with him too and he remembered Tajeen and the other times the Omni had helped him against incredible odds.

With all the things to help him he knew he had fight, that was his only option, and that is what he did using his skills that he had been taught and the power of the Omni... He swung his katana, hopefully getting Kajeenith off balance.

The Katana swung, and caught him on the side.

Kajeenith turned to Billie.

"Geheh."

Then he clenched his fist and brought his power to bare. The Void extended outward from them, and caught them all within its grasp.

they were on a Platform hurtling through the Void. Energy continued to streak into Kajeenith.

He pulled his sword out, and launched himself at Billy.

The Sword of Dissolution came down on Billy's head, while Kajeenith's foot Came at him from the side.

Beyond that, Billie felt the most horrifying feeling he would ever feel. He was completly cut off from The Omnisource, both ways.

Kajeenith laughed cruelly.

The Platform entered the hall of tortures. On the walls were all of Kajeenith's Victims, each one more horrifying to look at than the previous one.

Billie kept his eyes fixed on Kajeenith, the omnisource would have known, he would have to have faith that even now cut off from all help that the Omni was still leading him. The Omni wanted him to attack before and by Omni that was what he was going to do, but how?!

Remembering back to Tajeen, that without the connection to Omni his katana would be useless... He reeled back. He needed weapons... A slim smile for a moment played across his face we need weapons and lots of them.

Adrian started to get engrossed in the horror that surrounded them but no his attention was taken back to Billie and the weapons that they needed, as long as they concentrated on fighting they would pay not attention to the background.

The mages summoned various weapons, high-powered lasers, goop guns and other weapons they were familiar with. They fired at a reasonable range, the goop guns covered Kajeenith with something that was like the consistancy of Jello. However as time would pass it would reasonably quickly constrict and compress anything that it was covered in. More gloop was sprayed trying to completly cover the mad man in it.

Ahh, but the twist was, Billie's sword was still glowing with power. Omni had forseen and taken steps around this.

I find your lack of faith disturbing -Omni

The sword's glow was faltering, hurt by Billie's own lack of faith.

Meanwhile, Kajeenith stepped out from behind The mountain of goop.

He touched it, and it turned into a Goop monster. the good monster leaped and went to splash down on the mages.

Then Kajeenith turned to Billie.

"Omni is not here right now, Paladin. As you can plainly feel, his power does not extend here. Give up, and kneel before me, and I will give you strength beyond reasoning."

"Give Up, Save yourself!" The tortured victims shouted.

"I tried believing and following The Omni, but Kajeenith is just too strong. I suffured for my refusal to kneel. Don't make my mistake!" A nearby victim shouted.

But, his sword was still Glowing.

And yet, it was faltering, fading. Maybe Kajeenith was right after all.

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me." Billie said realising that this was once again a Void trick. Tajeen has played a trick on him before but he had seen what the Void was like and how to dseal with iot. The Golden Glow was proof that the Omnisource was with him.

And so he attacked, attempting to slice once again as the mages tried to think up ways of helping their friend attack the deadliest being known.

OOC: To speed things along, since we both know it would be a climactic battle anyway.

IC:

Kajeenith smiled. Things went dark. When they were brightened again, The Mages were chained to crosses next to Rahegalhoff's statue.

As Billie and Kajeenith fought in a battle one of them would never forget, The mages would soon realise they could not free Rahegalhoff's statue.

Kajeenith tried using The Void itself as a weapon, using trick after trick after trick, but everytime Billie managed to be one step ahead thanks to his own experience and Rahegalhoff's training.

Finally, an opening, and a thrust to the heart.

Kajeenith was pinned to his own Void.

"Gahh. A flesh wound. I'll return soon enough. I always do." He said.

The Void broke down around them, amd it seemed they would be lost with it, but a great golden glow saved them.

All of them, were on a field. The grass, it was a new color. A color they had never seen before. A color they would be unable to describe, even to each other.

Rahegalhoff was freed from his statue form, by a man easily described as impressive. It wasn't that he was Blond haired and blue eyed. It wasn't that he looked strong enough to move mountains. Mainly, it was the fact that he had wings and was glowing.

"There." He said freeing Rahegalhoff from the stone by simply touching it.

"Now, depart." The man said.

"Thanks Michael." Rahegalhoff said as The man sent them to Ri-an.

It would take a few days, and many repeated tellings of what happened, but soon, The Magi-masters and lady Ri-an all knew what had happened.

Then, Rahegalhoff called together a great assembly of Paladins.
Billie, a squire and not a full Paladin, had defeated Kajeenith. This was something worthy of Knighthood.

But Billie would be uningormed of what was going on.

Rahegalhoff arranged for Harold and the others to take Billie out for a night of celebration out on the town in the capital city Elru, the night before the ceremony.

Harold was appointed leader of the expedition, and given a limitless credit card to cover expenses.

The fight was a tremendous fight for Billlie, he now knew that there was nothing that he couldn't do with the Omni's help. Successfully defeating the mad god of the Void.

He was on a natural high, a buzz like no other and added to the fact that he finally would become a full paladin. He was very ecstatic and the night before the ceremony they went to Elru, and had fun. They had drinks, went to a number of entainments including a 10-pin bowling place that they stumbled upon and some icecreams. After they finished with their fun they went to one of the most posh hotels and paid for rooms for all of them for the night. After the big day which all of them had they soon collapsed on the bed asleep.

The next day was a busy one. The mages were shooed away, and billie was prepared by attendant squires for the knighting celebration.

The streets were bedecked and arranged in a dazzling manner, The sky was exceptionally bright and clear, the vegetation was unusually colorfull. Everyone who saw him congratulated him, or thanked him. Some did both, and a few gave him a few indecent proposals.

Finally, his armor was all scrubed up as was he, and then he was in his armor.

His horse had been completly groomed and he was mounted on it.
He was lead through the streets, and brought before a grand stand. On it, stood Rahegalhoff astride Starfire, and Lady Ri-an. Words could not describe her beauty. When she really went all out to look impressive, she succeeded beyond imagination, Beside her was Deuce.

In the air hung the Ri-anese Military, Royal Legion.

Behind him came mounted Legions of Paladins from many diffrent Gods.

"We are all gathered here today, to welcome into the fold, a brother Paladin, who has succeeded, where many have not, and defeated The Mad God.

There were many cheers.

"Silence. Billie. Allow me to share with you something, I have not yet shared with you. A story that remains untold. Its how I received my very first wound, the deepest and gravest injury I have ever had to date, and still, after many eons, has not yet healed." Rahegalhoff said.
Rahegalhoff's story:
The Sun was shining over the hilltops. It was morning, and it was a clear, blue sky. With the cool breeze blowing, it was the perfect day to tend to his crops. He was Rahegalhoff Mesquchoku, and someday, he would be a Legend. That day was not today however, and after gathering his tools, he headed off to tend to his fields. He was growing corn.

As he walked away, he paused to take in the scent on the air. Her cooking was always wonderful. His wife’s name was Iola. She was pretty, for a farmer’s wife. She had long thick blond hair, beautiful blue eyes, and was the talk of the area for her looks. Currently, she wore a plain grey cotton dress, with a blue apron, and a clean white shirt.

She was cooking Bacon, Eggs, Pancakes, and homemade Maple syrup. A Straw Broom stood ready in the corner, next to the wood burning stove. Next to the broom, was a set of shelfs containing varius spices, but not very many and a few Recipe scrolls, one containing recipes for home brewed magic potions. Iola wasn’t a witch or anything, just a farmer’s wife, and like most homemakers, usually kept a few easily made potion recipies on hand, just in case there was no time to fetch the local healer.

On the other side of the Shelves were the stairs, and down these came a very hungry little boy. He looked exactly like his Father, and he was named Corin. He had Brown hair, and brown eyes. All three of them had lightly tanned skin. All Corin was missing, was his father’s big brown beard, but that would come in time. Corin was only five after all.

“Mommy, I don’t want any eggs today.” Corin complained as his mother fixed him a plate of three pancakes topped with syrup, bacon on the side, and two Eggs on the Bacon.

“Now you want to grow to be big and strong like your Father, don’t you? Eat one Egg and I’ll be okay with it.” Iola said.

“Ok Mommy.” Corin said, who ended up eating both eggs anyway.

Corin loved helping his father in the fields, when his mother would let him. Today he had to stay inside and help her clean the floor. Tomorrow he would have to help her clean the Blue and white pinstripe walls.

They were a happy little family, who suffered only one Tragedy. Last year, Iola gave birth to a Stillborn little girl, and as was the custom of the area, they laid her in a little wooden basket, and sent her floating down the river.

It was a pleasant little valley known for its quiet Tranquil life. Unfortunately, not everything was right in the world. There were those who preyed upon the Weak, and reaped the innocence from the innocent.

One such person was riding along with his nine followers over Rahegalhoff’s Fields. His Armor was Black as night, and his Armor held the Crest of Destruction Those who held this crest, were considered outcasts from society, and to the man, all were criminals. However, this man, and his nine followers, something was oddly different about them; something, very seriously wrong.

The Knight of destruction was riding a dark black horse, like one of the fine Arabian breeds. This horse though, was winged. Its hooves, they were not hooves, but claws, like the kind one would find on a vicious preditor. It licked its lips, and one could see, it had fangs. Clearly this Abomination was carnivourous. Rahegalhoff seen it and gasped in horror. Then he grabbed his pitchfork and turned it end over end.

He pointed its sharp tines at the black knight and his companions.

“I’m a very generous man friends, but I’m afraid I don’t have anything for ye today. Ye’ll have to seek lodgings elsewhere.” Rahegalhoff said. He had no illusions about actually beating them in a fight if it came down to it, but he sincerely hoped he would if they did fight.

“Now, is that anyway to talk to such an old friend?” the Black knight said calmly.

“I don’t know what your talking about. My friends names are Ingar and Toceh, and I know neither of them would ever do anything this foolish.” Rahegalhoff said.

“Oh yes, we’ve been had a pleasant conversation with Ingar and Toceh, They burned very nicely on The Dark Alter. Restrain him. I think I’ll go have a nice visit with his wife.” The dark knight said.

Rahegalhoff tried. He tried very hard, but he failed. He stabbed one of them in the eye with his pitchfork, but fell to their nets.

He was held back as he was forced to listen to his wife trying to fight for her life and honor, but to no avail. He hoped his son didn’t half to watch what he imagined was going to happen, and he let the tears fall.

Something hit him on the back of the head, and he passed out.

When he awoke, his fields, and his house, had all burnt to the ground.

“Iola.” Rahegalhoff whispered softly, as his tears stained the ground.

He picked through the ruins of his house, and found two charred skeletons clutching each other in despair.

For an entire day and night, he mourned for his lost family.

Rahegalhoff stopped talking, and left to regain his composure. It was the most serious wound he had ever recieved, and one he had never gotten over.

Nobody but Billy had heard his story. Not even Lady Ri-an.

Infact, while Rahegalhoff was telling Billy about his past, The crowds had started the knighting party.

Something told Billie to follow Rahegalhoff.

OOC: Taken from my book.

Billie could not imagine being subjected to something like that, the people closest to him being ripped from him in such a manner. The day had up until that point had seemed to fly past, everything seemed to be happening around him that he had almost lost all idea of time.

Though indeed the revelation that Rahegalhoff was something that had affected him, he had come to see of Rahegalhoff as a like a father figure. A mentor, a person that he looked up to and respected. Billie would follow Rahegalhoff to the side for some privacy.

For Billie at the moment, helping Rahegalhoff in whatever he could do was the most important thing that he could do at the moment.

For Billie at the moment, helping Rahegalhoff in whatever he could do was the most important thing that he could do at the moment.

Down below, Rahegalhoff had managed to pull himself together.

"It never left me, and I thought about it all day long, and had nightmares about it all night long. Once Kajeenith even tried to offer me the chance to make it all better by simply taking him as my god, only days after it happend. I decided after that, to not ever let anyone suffer the same thing I did. I decided I would protect the weak and innocent. I was traveling with my best friend, and we were both new to the world. I was literally creating the path of the Paladin, he was learning magic. Today's oaths stem from my original Oath, todays practices and powers stem from what I originally used to convince a certain God to accept me and train me." Rahegalhoff said.

"Billie, Promise me you will not let what happend to me happen to any other. Promise me you will always be honest, and do your best to fight and oppose wrong, no matter where it may be?" Rahegalhoff asked.

"I promise you, that I will do everything I can, with the help of the Omnisource to not let what happen to you to happen to anyone. I promise to you, that I will always be truthful and oppose wrong in all it's forms, where ever it might be." This Billie promised, his heart was speaking those words. Billie truly meant everything he spoke, being a paladin not only provided powers but it had opened up a whole new aspect of Billie one that connected deeply on an emotional level with people, something that had up until recently he never did.

"The story, is not yet finished.

Some time later, I encountered the greatest of all monsters for the first time. I was in a Reality that no longer exists. It was called the Crystal world. It was a marvel to behold. It was there, that I found The Mirror. A force beyond supermassive, that divides us, from our Parody selfs. It has absolutly no power to stop or help anyone from crossing to the otherside. I gazed into its refelctive surface for awhile, when a black mailed fist reachout from the mirror, and pulled me in. The fist, belonged to me. My Mirror opposite, Just as strong as I am. He is, a Dark Paladin, and destroys everything he comes accross. You've seen him. He was the dark knight, that took my family and my life away from me. I would've been content to live and die on that farm, raising a family. At one point, he traveled back in time, just to strike the first blow.

I have slain many fiends, and righted many wrongs, but the greatest monster I have ever seen, is the one I see in the Mirror.

Don't forget that they exist too. They follow destruction, like we follow Creation. Eventually, Billy, you will face a test, even greater than Kajeenith. A test, no Paladin ever wants to face, when at some point, you fight your Mirror. I did not want to admit, that I could be as violent and Evil as my mirror showed me. No Paladin does. Though I have not yet beaten and destroyed my Mirror,I know I will eventually.

Oh yes, That wizard, you may have heard of him. He was by your friends. His name is Xos. I am partly responsible for what he and the other Magi-masters have become. And the God, his name is Warfare, Kajeenith's Twin Brother." Rahegalhoff said.

He stood.

"Come. let us finish." He said, returning to the noisy party above.

Billie returned with Rahegalhoff to the party and pondered the words that he spoke, they had connected on a deep level just then and now it was Billie first started to think about his mirror self... and about perhaps what he was upto at this very moment.

The thought was not pleasant and so he returned to the here and now, but his thoughts moved back to something in the past. Natasha...

was up on a nearby roof watching him. She smiled, stood, tore a hole in space, and leaped through it.

And so the party moved on, and featured a dance off between Deuce and Rahegalhoff. Rahegalhoff showed he was just as well armed on the dance floor as he was on the battlefield. Then, Lady Ri-an took Billie's sword, and knighted him. The day was over. Finally, he was given his own personal room for the night.

eventually, after he was asleep, Natasha snuck into his room and left him a note. It congratulated him, and challenged him to an giant game of catch. Her first stop, was with the wisest sage.

The mages and he would be given little time to reminisce and catch up.

It was time for their final section of learning. Healing and Necromantic Magic, the most important of all areas of magic, because people trusted healers so much, as to willingly put their lives, and their very souls in a healers hands, thus, it was not just something to take lightly, or pursue idly. As they learned, they would become responsible for the health and well being of real people. Not painted wooden targets, or illusions. this was something, they had to pay attention closely to, or kill their patients through their own ignorance.

If they could pass this one test, they would be up for the final magic test, then on to Psionics.

As Billie woke up he was surprised to find the note, "the wisest Sage", though he didn't know who that was, he needed information, he decided to go to the computer see what he could find there and then tto Rahegalhoff.

As Billie woke up he was surprised to find the note, "the wisest Sage", though he didn't know who that was, he needed information, he decided to go to the computer see what he could find there and then tto Rahegalhoff.

The Computer had a search engine. When The Wisest Sage was entered, it turned up only one result. The Wisest Sage, was one of the names for Father Rekshan, of The Blessed Fields of Peace Reality. It also included directions on how to get there, the fist of which, was to go to the Warp point in The Department of Transportation public offices building.

After fnding and getting the directions to Father Rekshan, he went to Rahegalhoff and showed him the note.

"I believe that this is something I need to do, particularily since she has gotten into my room and left this note."

"I believe that this is something I need to do, particularily since she has gotten into my room and left this note."

Rahegalhoff smiled.

"Just remember, not all missions and quests come from me or Omni. When your on your own, you got to learn to recognise the signs of a Quest. Good job. I was going to have you do it myself if you hadn't recognised the need to do it."

Billie, now that he had checked with Rahegalhoff, was now doing a few final checks before heading off to find the Father that was also known as the wisest man on earth. Noting food and other items that might come in use as well as his Katana, finally was ready to go.

So off he went getting instructions from the computer about how to get to the first step of his journey.

All it said, was to go to the Transportation Deaprtment public offices building and ask for the Warp to Father Rekshan.

Billie realised that there was a map nearby reading it he found directions to the Transport Department public offices and with his equipment headed towards them to find the warp portal that was the first step to finding the Father.

He was pointed to the Warp, made to wait in line, and then during his turn, the Warp was shifted to The Blessed Fields. when he stepped through, he found himself face to face with a group of surprised monks.

Billie's knighting was over.

Xos took the mages to the woman that was going to teach them the twin arts of Healing and Necromancy, for truely, they were two sides of the same coin.

She had Red hair, Green eyes, and a beauty mark on her right check. Her lips were ruby red. She wore grey robes with the Caduceus and the Rod of Asclepius on each side of her chest, and a large red cross on the back.

She was stern, and very serious about what she did. She accepted no excuses, no pranks, no jokes, and threw out a majority of her students because of those very reasons. Fact was, she was intimidating to a lot of people. But, then, she was also very motherly, and was also known as Mother Khalan, because she cared, alot.

She met them in a private room.

"Right. there will be no excuses, no jokes, no pranks, and no deliberate screw ups. I understand your not perfect but that's no excuse to not be your best at all times. If I find you've been anything less I will throw you out and strip you of all your powers permanently. That had better be clearly understood I will NOT repeat myself, ever. I expect you to pay attention the first time. If you have questions take notes and ask me after I'm done discussing the subject, and before you start in on live patients. you will address me as one of three things. Teacher, Mistress, or Milady. Anything else, and again, I will throw you out and strip you of all your powers permanently." She said. She pointed at two posters on the wall.

"These are the two oaths everyone must swear by and agree to follow BEFORE I will teach." She said.

Indeed, of all the teachers, she was the strictest.

"First, the old Oath" She said. She pointed to it.

I swear by Apollo Physician and Asclepius and Hygieia and Panaceia and all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will fulfil according to my ability and judgment this oath and this covenant:

To hold him who has taught me this art as equal to my parents and to live my life in partnership with him, and if he is in need of money to give him a share of mine, and to regard his offspring as equal to my brothers in male lineage and to teach them this art - if they desire to learn it - without fee and covenant; to give a share of precepts and oral instruction and all the other learning to my sons and to the sons of him who has instructed me and to pupils who have signed the covenant and have taken an oath according to the medical law, but no one else.

I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment; I will keep them from harm and injustice.

I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art.

I will not use the knife, not even on sufferers from stone, but will withdraw in favor of such men as are engaged in this work.

Whatever houses I may visit, I will come for the benefit of the sick, remaining free of all intentional injustice, of all mischief and in particular of sexual relations with both female and male persons, be they free or slaves.

What I may see or hear in the course of the treatment or even outside of the treatment in regard to the life of men, which on no account one must spread abroad, I will keep to myself, holding such things shameful to be spoken about.

If I fulfil this oath and do not violate it, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and art, being honored with fame among all men for all time to come; if I transgress it and swear falsely, may the opposite of all this be my lot.

"And though parts of these two agreements conflict each other, both still have their importance." She said, gesturing at the new one.

I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant:

I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow.

I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism.

I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.

I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery.

I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God.

I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.

I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.

I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.

If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help.

"Do not idly swear to the Hippocratic Oaths, if you are not serious. this is the point of no return. either swear, and submit yourselfs to the hardest lessons of all, or Quit magic completly, giving up all that you have learned, and all that you have gained." She said.

"Greetings, I seek Father Rekshan, He is said to be the Wisest Sages."

Billie said recognising the monks with a slight bow.

---

The five mages poured over the oaths indeed they were serious and they had come too far now, but they also willing to abide by the oaths for as someone said a long time ago, "With power comes great responsibility"

They power and here was the responsibility part, which was reasonable and so they swore the oaths With the intention to apply the appropriate parts to all of their magic abilities to use them wisely and responsibly.

He was beside Billie. He was Blind.

"Billie? You here after a pretty young lady named Natasha?" Yeah, you missed her. She said to give you this." He said. He handed Billie a note.

The Trees are tall and so is she,
I'll wait for you by the sea.
-Natasha

"Gaia's Reality. Just go down through that hallway." Father rekshan said.

"Thank you, Father."

The question was raised in his mind, just how he knew both that Natasha was pretty and what the note siad, though he supposed someone could have told him, but there seemed to be more too it.

"I will be off now."

And with that he followed the directions through the hallway and into Gaia's world.

"Thank you, Father."

"I will be off now."

And with that he followed the directions through the hallway and into Gaia's world.

He was on a very wide plain. The grass was as wide as a house, and as tall as a tree. The trees, were even bigger, being nearly 400 Miles around, and 1,200 miles tall.As he looked around, he noticed there was a Giant Woman laying in the grass looking straight at him.

"I am Gaia." She whispered, though to billie's ears it would sound like she was talking normally. Far off, he could see an ocean, which to the woman was just a lake. Thus its name Ocean Lake.

Billie, still unsure as why Natasha was leading him on this chase talked to the great lady. Billie tried to speak as loudly as possible while keeping his words clear . "Hello, I am Billie, I am looking for Natasha I heard she was here."

"Indeed." She said Whispering. She picked Billie up as gently as she could, and carried him on the palm of her hand. She set him down not too far awat from an awfully familier woman.

Natasha smiled and waved.

"Hi Billie." She said.

Timewarped. Quoted to its proper place.

Natasha smiled and waved.

"Hi Billie." She said.

"Hi," Billie said "What's going on why did you want me here?"

Indeed he had no idea,what he wanted. He didn't think she wanted to do him harm for she could have easily done that back in the fortress. Though he was for certain unsure what would happen since indeed he found her.

Not being aggressive but he was on edge ready to react whatever she might throw at him.

Not being aggressive but he was on edge ready to react whatever she might throw at him.

She informed him it was a little private celebration of his Knighthood. Yes, it was a date. She invited him to sit down. It certainly was a nice spread.

It was a pleasant morning, filled with conversation only a pair of young people infatuated with each other would find intresting.

Intrest turned to horror, as a Tree nearby fell on them. Being that it was one of the giant 300 mile wide trees, there really was no escape.

Billie awoke to find himself in a Temple dedicated to the omnisource. Infact, the Omnisource was infront of him, looking at him, But Billie woulf find himself unable to look at the Omni.

You have died. You are in the place between my presence and the Mortal Realms. This place is beyond the reach of mortals, beyond the reach of Gods. My children who live here, spend a lifetime praying to me in name only, never truely believing in me. They think this is Paradise, but since they have not trusted in me enough to completly surrender their lives to me, how can I trust them enough to allow them into Paradise to dwell in my Presence for eternity?

Billie, I have allowed you to die. I could have saved you and the one whom you love, but I have need of you here. There is a Murderer in my Temple, delivering Complete uncreation, the truest of all deaths to my Children. I do not want to lose my children, not even the naughty unruley ones. Save my Children, and you will live again.

Natasha was somewhere in this Temple, he would know that in his heart.

There were Three sets of doors, all lead further into the Temple.

-----------

Meanwhile, Khalan smiled inwardly.

Then she launched into a lecture on basic medicene, not just Westren Science based Medicene, but also Eastren Medicene, based on less than scientific methods. there was no magic medicene and Science Medicene, there was only Eastren and Westren. She lectured for the better part of the day just on basic medicene. she didn't talk fast, but she didn't talk slowly either. They were all seated at desks, with notepads infront of them. They barely had time to scribble down notes on the never ending notepads as she lectured.

Afterwards, she healed their sore wrists.

"Any Questions?" She asked.

He had a task directly from the Omni, was there any option. Billie searched his heart to see if he could feel any threat in the temple, particularily if Natasha was in any threat, If he could locate the threat he would choose the door that lead right to it, otherwise he would randomly choos a door and the door he chose randomly was door number 2.

---

"Not at this moment, Though I think there will certainly be a bit later." said IAn as they hadn't had enough time at this juncture to absorb much of the detail of the notes they had taken but they would.

Door number 2. It lead into a big room. Monks were walking here, walking there, Robes covering their faces. Their faces were bowed in prayer.

It was the same, regardless of where he went. Until he stumbled on the floor switch that opened the secret passage.

Inside, was dark, and spooky. His sword glowed in the dark, making for a natural torch. The hallway was long and dark.

"help me." Natasha's weak voice fluttered through the air.
"Somebody please!" She cried.

Billie pressed forward heading towards the voice, keeping as silent as possible. However brought this uncreation would have control of the void so it could all be faked, ii could be a trap using Natasha as bait. Or she could just be in there lost. Whatever was going on the sound of her voice was enough to guide him towards her. Though with his sword drawn he was ready for a fight, should one be necessary. He wanted to make sure that Natasha was safe but also it seemed the odds were that by going to the sound of her voice he would find trouble.

Rather, Trouble found him, and it was on fire.

A knight in dark armor stepped in front of him. Fire burned all across his body, and it burned black.

"Well hello Billy. we've been having such a lovely conversation with your girlfriend here." The Knight said.

Natasha looked confused. She looked at Billie down there, and then she looked up, AT BILLIE RIGHT BESIDE HER!

"I thought she might like to meet a friend of mine. His name is eilliB. He comes from what you would consider the mirror. ffohlagehaR trained him personally. I brought him here. It must pleasure you to know that you are the guilty party that has been killing Omni's children. It was by shear luck we found such a marvelous offering to ALmighty Kajeenith." The Knight said.

He turned to elliB. He gestured, and the two were lost in the void.

"So, I can just see the headlines now. Paladin falls from grace. Rahegalhoff will be crushed. If we're lucky he might die from it. Ahh, but you won't live to see it. Your going to die here. Fitting, your already in the afterlife." The knight said.

He drew his sword. the air sizzled as he brought it stabbing for billie's heart, the sword was burning too.

"Natasha!" yelled Billie as eilliB and her disappeared into the void.

Meanwhile he knew that he had to defeat this knight, to get and rescue Natasha from... himself...

Billie's Katanaa swung around attempting to parry what would have been a nasty shot. All the time quietly praying to the Omni, even all that Billie needed from the Omni was confidence the praying would provide for he knew the will of the omni.

"Who are you?!" Billie said as he prepared and put his own sword in action, swiping across the body of the Dark Knight.

"Natasha!" yelled Billie as eilliB and her disappeared into the void.

The Knight held his arms wide. The Black fire spreading accross his body.

"Nobody knows my true name. But for obvious reasons, I am known as General Blackfire, foremost of Kajeenith's Generals."

Then he swung for Billie's Legs, while simultainiously punching his chest and charging forward.

Billie jumped the sword but he didn't manage to avoid the fire punch, With the prescence of mind to make his own swing with his sword as the punch landed. It hurt and he was pushed back from the force of the hit.

Somehow, Billie managed to stay on his feet, as he tried to move away from the charging fire warrior

Blackfire growled as the sword hit him.

He turned, following Billie. He lunged for a chest shot. He also sent a blast of Black Fire at Billie.

Billie swirled his katana trying to parry the blow of the Black knight, but he didn't do a terribly good job, as he was trying to also dodge the black fire as well, he ranked the Black fire a greater threat. Billie was wounded but not as much as could have been.

His armour started working it's restoritive magic as he got his own leg shot in at the Black knight.

Blackfire fell to his knees, his head falling forward with the momentum. If Billie reacted fast enough, he could Behead Blackfire!

Seeing the collapse starting to happen, harking back to his engineering history, briefly determining what would happen Billie quickly swung the blade to where the head would be...

Seeing the collapse starting to happen, harking back to his engineering history, briefly determining what would happen Billie quickly swung the blade to where the head would be...

And so, Blackfire was beheaded. His eyes stared at Billie as the head fell, and the head landed, eyes staring at Billie.

Blackfire blinked.

"Man! I hate it when I get beheaded." He said. His body stood up and began fumbling around for the head.

"HEY STUPID! OVER HERE!" Blackfire shouted. Both parts disappeared.

Billie fell backwards, and came face to face before the Omni.

"She is gone. Not out of my reach, but if I save her, it will be meaningless. Prove to her you care. Go, in the infinite reaches of Grogoroh Swamp, you will find her." Omni said.

He found himself on his horse riding through the swamps. He, felt alive.

Dreamchaser was glowing somewhat. Grogoroh Swamp. He would know it from training. It was mostly harmless, if one didn't attract the attention of the Gators, which wasn't hard to do.

Here however, it was filled with the bodies of the dead. They reached out at Billie, but the Glow from Dreamchaser kept them at Bay. It was clear, Billie was in the Mirror.

Help Me

It was Natasha's Voice. She was somewhere in the swamp, calling for help. Her voice echoed all around billie.

The dead were clamoring for Billie to join them, mixed in with her voice, moaning, and groaning in hunger for the life riding in their Midst.

Boy this swamp was creepy. It was hard to see through the dense black fog. The light was dim, and it was Cold. Dreamchaser seemed to prefer anywhere, like the nice pleasant meadow he was in with that Giant woman. He was waiting while billie was off enetertaining himself with beheading general BlackFire.

Billie wasn't scared, but he certainly was creeped out by his surroundings and just like Dreamchaser, he wished he was almost anywhere, but he needed to rescue Natasha.

Despite being wayward, Natasha was merely a girl that had gotten onto the wrong path. He was still confident that the light of the Omni would bring her back into the fold, she was not as far gone as the village that had summoned that demon and he was sure that he could bring her back, Exactly how was uncertain.

But Billie kept on searching for Natasha he would do everything he could to find her and at least try to bring her back.

Help Me! He voice echoed everywhere.

Billie, please! Help me! Her helpless voice called.

Dreamchaser seemed to smell something, and followed his nose.

The fog cleared, enough for Billie to see himself holding Natasha Strapped down to one of Kajeenith's Dark Alters.

But something was wrong. elliB appeared to know something. Void took him away.

There was a loug ungodly snort behind Billie.

Turning, he found ffohlagehaR, The Dark Paladin of Omega, and Rahegalhoff's opposite.

He was on Hellfire, his winged Hrulga.

The water boiled away, taking the Dead with it, leaving a sort of Battleground.

Hellfire licked his lips in anticipation of eating Billie and Dreamchaser.

"Well, boy, it seems its come to this then. Blackfire couldn't finish his mission because of you. Raggy seems to be fond of you. I think I'll take that away from him, yet again. Haha! you should've heard his wife right before I killed her. Raggy save me! oh it was a gas man, you should've heard her pleading for her life. Haha! Reminds me of the one we have strapped to the dark alter now. Natasha, such a pretty name. I think her screams would be most gratifying." ffohlagehaR said.

He drew his sword.

"But you first. I'm going to make you beg." He said.

Hellfire struck first with his Claws, raking at Dreamchaser's chest, raking Dreamchaser's barding armor, and then biting Dreamchaser's legs.

ffohlagehaR meanwhile Struck Billie on his sword arm.

The Dead rose out of the swamps and slowly creeped towards natasha, to eat her. She screamed, and struggled against her bonds.

Help Me! He voice echoed everywhere.

Billie, please! Help me! Her helpless voice called.

ffohlagehaR meanwhile Struck Billie on his sword arm.

The Dead rose out of the swamps and slowly creeped towards natasha, to eat her. She screamed, and struggled against her bonds.

Billie didn't want to attack ffohlagehaR, for two main reasons that it would seem to him that he was attacking his mentor and even though he knew it wasn't Rahegalhoff. It still seemed like he was, and then still he knew in his best condition that he might of had a chance, however slim it was but with his injured sword arm. He knew he didn't stand a chance and Dreamchaser was injured badly as well.

There was only one thing that Billie could do, release Natasha, and that was his job. If he died in the process so be it. As a paladin he would live up to his duties no matter the personal cost, knowing indeed he would join the Omni if he did die.

Thus he retreated from the battle towards Natasha hoping to get the dead awa and keep them away from natasha in time to release here using his sword to cut the ropes.

ffohlagehaR flew infront of Billie, and knocked him away.

"You think its going to be that easy? AHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" ffohlagehaR laughed.

Hellfire charged Dreamchaser.

ffohlagehaR leaped at Billie bringing them both to the ground. Hellfire continued to try to kill Billie's horse Dreamchaser.

ffohlagehaR stood between Billie and Natasha. If he really cared for her, honestly and truely, then it wouldn't matter who was between them, he would fight his way to her regardless.

His sword lost all color and went black. every strike would drain Billie's core essences, everything that made him, him.

He went to stab Billie through the heart, his sword draining everything and everyone that touched it along the way.

Many things raced through Billie's Mind, the first and most important thing was Natasha, he knew he couldn't let her be sacrificed like this and the dead were getting closer, secondly ffohlagehaR, he had to fight someone who was the exact image, though mirror image, of the one he most trusted.

But no he wasn't, to get to her, he needed to get through him and that was the way it had to be, but the question remained. Billie sensing the power of the void in the sword, came upon an idea... Use the power of the sword against it's weilder... Turn the void on itself. IT would be hard, he still not being able to properly use his Sword hand would make this extremely difficult but that was his only current option.

Billie dodged and attempted to use the force of ffohlagehaR's own strike by turning his own blade against him, trying to using the tips to create as much leverage as possible in acheiving his goal.

Dreamchaser meanwhile was trying to stave of the onslaught of hellfire. Dreamchaser reared up on it's hind hoofs using it's front hoofs as weapons kicking at the beast infront of it.

But no he wasn't, to get to her, he needed to get through him and that was the way it had to be, but the question remained. Billie sensing the power of the void in the sword, came upon an idea... Use the power of the sword against it's weilder... Turn the void on itself. IT would be hard, he still not being able to properly use his Sword hand would make this extremely difficult but that was his only current option.

Billie dodged and attempted to use the force of ffohlagehaR's own strike by turning his own blade against him, trying to using the tips to create as much leverage as possible in acheiving his goal.

Dreamchaser meanwhile was trying to stave of the onslaught of hellfire. Dreamchaser reared up on it's hind hoofs using it's front hoofs as weapons kicking at the beast infront of it.

evil raggy dropped down and did a spin-kick at Billie's legs.

Hellfire Shook his head, then rose up himself, tearing at Dreamchaser's unprotected underbelly with his claws.

Fortunatly, Dreamchaser's Platemail barding also provided regeneration.

Natasha let out one final Bloody Scream. She manuvered her time claw as much as she could. She managed to point it at Billie. His speed picked up considerably.

evil Raggy stood. He was in a good position for a killing blow, He brought his sword crashing down.

Time seemed to slow down for Billie, he couldn't tell how or why it didn't feel like it came from the Omni though now was not the time to question where these blessings came from.

Billie was prone on the ground after the spin-kick from the Mirror Rahegalhoff, he needed to act and use the advantage of speed while he had it. He didn't have the time to deal with him right then but he certainly buy enough time to achieve his goal.

Billie lept at the evil man from his possition tackling him in a tackle any football player would have been proud of, All this happened just as the sword came down. If it wasn't for the increased speed he would have died at the hands of his mentor's mirror. All that was left now for Billie was to land a good blow of his own, as his katana came streaming down onto ffohlagehaR.

Dreamchaser got a few hits on the head of the beast it faced before sinnking a bit and trying to topple it from it's standing position, one would start to think that both Billie and Dream chaser had begun to think along the same lines.

Evil Raggy screamed loudly.

"GRR! Your not the one destined to kill me!" He said. He disappeared, taking hellfire with him. The dead seemed to lose their ability to stand, and fell back into the water.

Billie could see, Natasha had used her Time claw on him. She was breathing heavily, and she was scared. Night fell, and all forms of magic were cut off. just as well, she was only bound by rope. His sword could easily cut that. Almost as a gift from the Omni, the Dark Alter crumbled. A barrier was set up, keeping the dead away. Dreamchaser got a nosebag full of warm oats, and Natasha and Billie found they had a pair of sleeping bags next to a fire to enjoy for the night. Two Turkey legs were roasting, and there was a large barrel of good clean drinking water nearby, with two cups on top.

Your welcome. Just don't let lust and desire get things out of hand, keep your clothes on, both of you. - Words of the Omni.

though not audibly spoken, Billie just seemed to know them.

"Well, what an interesting day." Billie said to Natasha as he finally prepared to go to bed. "See you in the morning." he said as he slipped into his sleeping bed. Natasha had her own area slightly off to maintain her modesty. Billie felt comfortable, and so he drifted off into sleep.

And once again he had the dream, The one that had been plaguing him for a while. The one where there was someone slowly comming towards him, though this one was different. The Woman came right close upto Billie, but it was only when she was right in front of his nose that the face hidden by darkness resolved into a face, one that he knew well. One that right at this moment was sleeping not that far away.

The woman of his dreams was Natasha, she was the one that his heart had been aching for. Why couldnt't he see it before? For the first time he knew this, that he was in love with Natasha, something that had obviously started the first moment he met her.

He awoke with a start, knowing and remembering everything that had happened in his dream. He was excited and couldn't wait to tell her... He bounded out of his sleeping bag. It was early in the morning very early. After a quick prayer to the Omni thanking him... He went over to Natasha's area but didn't enter.

"Natasha, Natasha... I love you!"

"Natasha, Natasha... I love you!"

The sun rose after he said this. He found his own Katana impaled on the ground, in her bag. Thank Omni she wasn't in it. There was a note on the hilt.

"If you want her, come and get her." -Your favorite Mad god of Darkness.

It was a good thing he was near his sword, because at that moment The barrier fell and the dead started to creep in.

In the distance he could see a portal standing open in invitation for Billie to enter and come save his love. Yes it was a Trap, it was so painfully blindingly obvious it was a trap, but what other choice did he have?

Dreamchaser was nowhere to be found, but there was peace in Billie's heart about that. He just seemed to know Dreamchaser was in very caring hands.

Meanwhile, infront of Billie, was a horde of undead. He would have to fight his way to the portal.

They were easily taken care of with his sword, blessed as it was with Omni's power.

There was no way that Billie would let Natasha fall to the void, and without his mage friends indeed there was no other option. He knew that he could call for them but he knew that this was something that he needed to do. He needed to be the one to rescue Natasha and he needed to do it. Alone...

And so without other viable options he took the obvious trap, and steped through the portal ready to face whatever he would have to face.

And so without other viable options he took the obvious trap, and steped through the portal ready to face whatever he would have to face.

"Billie, Help me!" Her voice fluttered weakly though the darkness.

Smoke curled all around him. It cleared away, to reveal the walls were made of duplicates of Natasha's body, Billie's sword piercing her heart. Sometimes he would find a dark twisted version of himself, wearing dark Black armor.

The worst part was that it looked like the walls were breathing.

Every few seconds she would call again, her voice getting steadily weaker, fainter, as though she were dying. Occasionally he could hear her sobbing.

Eventually he came face to face with a great mirror, a very great mirror indeed.

He could see his reflection in the mirror. first it showed the past. It showed the mirror Billie, tying Natasha down, and stanning her through the heart. He could see her blood flowing freely accross the alter.

and now, the present moment.

"I love you too Billie." Were her last and final words. Her body went limp, dead on the Alter, but the words were so weak, it was possible to miss them.

Kajeenith's voice echoed a laugh all around Billie.

The Mirror rose, but the Alter, Natasha's body, and Mirror Billie stayed behind!

Mirror Billie was everything Billie was not, but could've been. Nearly every Paladin who faced their Mirror for the first time felt a shock of horror, as they realised that they very well could've been as evil, as horrible, and as destructive as Their Mirrors portrayed. The Mirrors were just as sickened at the thought of being so good, helpful, and nice.

Every person, and their Mirror, without exception, desired the complete destruction of their opposite.

Seeing Natasha's Death just added fuel to the fire. It was possible for Omni to ressurect Natasha, but His Mirror would stop that from happening. The solution was clear. Billie's Mirror had to be destroyed.

OOC: So, RP the fight. Make it good, make it epic.
Everyone must eventually come to terms with their own darkness. Some embrace it, some acknowledge it, some deny its existence altogether. what is the right path? I can't tell you, you must make your own desisions.

Both Billie and eilliB drew their Katana's it was the weapon they both had choosen once they each started training on their respective paths, Billie missed Natasha's words but eilliB did not.

"Ah, poor Billie, getting told he is loved and then, oh, the life being snuffed out." as he started to cackle.

"Only a monster would find that funny." Billie retorted

"I am what you could have become and I'm appalled at what I could have been, all self-rightous and snobbish." eilliB looked at Billie with utter distain "And it's time I did us both a favour and end your pathetic existance, as I did with Natasha..."

Billie couldn't believe what he was hearing, hearing his own voice say those things, not only that but recognising how he could have become like this, a defining moment, a moment of great loss.

As eilliB charged towards Billie to start the fight Billie thought about saying something but realised that in the end it would be the battle that would resolve this issue and so focused his mind on attacking. Billie had the first hit but it was read by eilliB and the counter-attack by eilliB was also read, both entered the fight with utter disdain for their opponent yet neither one could get in a position of dominance over the other. They traded blows and wore each other down. It looked like they would destroy each other.

However, an exhausted Billie succumbed to an under-handed trick by his mirror and had his Katana flung well away from him and ended up on the ground in a prone position. eilliB gloated over his prone opponent before doing the coup de grace and finishing off his opponent.

But, no Billie knocked eilliB's leg out from under him causing his mirror collapse onto the ground, and with a quick strike from Billie's back up Dagger eilliB was severly wounded.

Billie got up as quickly as he could to retrieve his sword., when he turned around he saw eilliB standing up wobbling on his feet, obviously not far to go. "You pathetic Worm, this isn't over." eilliB said before disappearing leaving Billie alone with the body of his love Natasha dead on the dark altar.
IT had been arrogance, the certainty of his own superiority that was eilliB's downfall.

As ellib left. The Void broke apart, leaving a dead Natasha on the ground.
A golden light surrounded them all, taking them, away. They heard voices, beautiful Voices of all kinds, singing.

Deep Peace of the running wave to you.
Deep Peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep Peace of the quiet Earth to you.
Deep Peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep Peace of the Gentle Night to you.
Moon and stars, pour their Healing Light on you.

Indeed, Billie would feel a truely deep peace unlike any other in this place.

Natahsa's wounds healed. She sat up.

"where are we?" She asked, unable to feel the Omni's presence, hear the voices, or hear him. There was something wrong in her eyes. Billie could see it. It was Natasha, but someone else was controlling her.

the Golden light faded, and the voices vanished. They were on a broad flat plain.

Natasha spoke, but now when she spoke, it was not her voice. It was Kajeenith's horrible voice.

"Geheheheh. The ultimate revenge. I'm going to make you kill her." Kajeenith said.

The Omni moved and spoke to Billy.

Kajeenith is hatred incarnate. You cannot win by fighting, and yet you must fight. She still is, beneath his spirit. Through Love you must reach out to her, and help her reassert her dominance over her body.

Natasha drew her Claws. She was much quicker than Billie. She could attack three times for every one time he attacked.

She struck once with each Claw and jump kicked his head.

"I hope you die a horrible painful death." Kajeenith said in Natasha's voice.

His sword was practically useless the best he could hope for was to maybe stop 1 attack he needed to reach the true Natasha.

Billie stumbled back from the kick but had managed to get his sword in the way for the claw attacks. "Natasha, I know you are in there and can here me. I love you... please come back to me take control once more." He said trying to reach Natasha. Trying to get down to where she was ad help her fight for dominance over her own body.

He didn't know how it would go, only time would tell, meanwhile Billie was preparing to defend against another onslaught from Kajeenith-controlled Natasha.

"Oh, isn't that sickening. I hate love." Kajeenith said in his own voice.

"I know I only just know everything, and impart upon all things, there existence, but you know, your very irritating and a highly predictable fellow Kajeenith. I'm beginning to think there isn't a point to your existing any longer." Omnisource said, borrowing billie's voice.

Kajeenith growled.

"YOU! I never wanted to exist in the first place. I was always trying to stop existing on my own. YOU were always bringing me back, forcing me to exist." Kajeenith said in his own voice.

"That, is incorrect. You were always the one who desired your own existence. I merely granted your desire." Omnisource said.

Kajeenith screamed in rage. Natasha's arm shot up, and shot a black oily substance at Billie. using Billie, Omni defended with Billie's shield, enhanced with Omni's own power. It obliterated the oily substance.

You could, say, try doing something utterly shocking, and maybe kiss her. Provided you can work your way past her claws. - Omni

Natasha disappeared, and struck from behind, raking his back with both claws, and dropping down to kick his legs out from beneath him

Billie didn't plan for this to happen but he was turning around to face Natasha as his legs where kicked out from under him, the momentum caused Billie to land on top of Natasha pushing her onto the ground.

He had to take this opportunity, looking into her eyes smilled, There was no way that he would miss this opportunity. He kissed her, not a peck but a proper kiss one that would show his love for her by his actions.

she Teleported beside him, and stood there. It was like looking at a really bad picture on a screen. Static was all over her. Darkness seemed to be struggling to stay inside.

"Billie?" she asked, under her own power.

But she was weak.

the darkness forced its way back inside.

Kajeenith laughed.

He used a deconstruction bomb, that literally deconstructed reality around Billie, causing him to fall in a sudden hole.

As Billie started to fall he yelled out for Natasha to help him, though quietly inwardly praying for some help to be able to keep fighting for Natasha.

He hoped that Natasha would see this and once again wrestle control to help him out of the fall, though if she didn't he knew he could rely on the Omni whatever the circumstances he would find.

"BILLIE!" Natasha shrieked. She wrenched control from Kajeenith and teleported Billie beside her.

Kajeenith emerged as a black cloud far away.

He began to walk slowly toward them, with every step he took explosions shook the ground, and 100 new virulent plagues were born. The air began to stir around him. His eyes glowed with radioactive energies, energies which spread forth poisoning the very air. Everything began to pull toward Kajeenith, and the void shouldered its way into being.

This is it, either defeat him, or forever be lost. You have all the strength you need.- Omni

Kajeenith continued to move toward them. He whiped out his blade. Natasha adopted a battle stance, as the void over took them all.

"This is the last time we will ever fight, you and I, I promise you that." Kajeenith said.

They were on a broad plain of liquid fire. The damned and the lost were screaming for mercy they turned down in life. Kajeenith stopped, and it circled around them into a great cone. Yet for all the heat and torture, none of it touched Billie or Natasham yet it licked at and crept all over Kajeenith.

He smiled.

Everything broke away to reveal a great red giant.

He spread his arms wide.

The star flashed greatly, and exploded into a supernova.

It expanded greater and greater, inflicting massive heat damage upon Billie and Natasha. Natasha Shielded against most of it warping space and slowing time deflecting it back at Kajeenith.

Everything dimmed, and they were back in the Liquid fire.

Kajeenith gripped his sword tightly, and launched an Annhilating Strike at Billie. No matter what it hit, it would deal devestating damage.

Biillie could see the blade coming down with tremendous force, he barely had enough time to miss it. The blade came within millimetres of hitting him but thank the Omnisource that it didn't.

As the blade went past Billie felt a great sigh of relief.

Natasha barely slipped past the resulting explosion. She kicked out Kajeenith's feet.

He stood, and punched her hard in the gut.

He tried to cause Billie to implode.

Before Kajeenith could do so a sweep of Billie's Katana both injured the mad god as well as distracted him so that he couldn't concentrate on his actions Billie. Billie stepped around so that he was on the other side of Kajeenith as Natasha forcing him to defend on two opposing sides.

He reached a hand out to both of them, draining their essences, basicly uncreating a part of them to heal himself.

Then he caused to bolts of lightning to shoot at Billie, then he gave Natasha an uppercut.

Natasha spat out most of her teeth, as blood flowed from the wounds in her mouth.

She would need healing later. she caused Billie's time to flow faster.

Billie's Armour helped in dealing with the lightning bolt, acting a conduit it shunted the electricity through his legs away from his heart. He was still severly damaged in his legs, but kept going. Hi armour magically repairing some of the damage, With his time speeded up Billie got some hash and slash action in trying to cut Kajeenith into pieces.

The sword went through Kajeenith like a hot knife through butter. He stumbled backwards.

"Just you wait. I know where the heart of your precious Omni is. Once I destroy that, your all goners."

He vanished.

Then everything went white, when it cleared, they were on a broad plain, completly healed. Natasha felt her teeth just to make sure it was real. Lady Ri-an took Natasha off to the side, and Rahegalhoff drew Billie off a ways.

"Lets get straight to the point here. You are a Paladin. Part of your oath requires complete honesty. We know. We know you too love each other, and Paladins can get married, but not if your love is not true." Rahegalhoff said.

Billie could feel Omni inside him.

"You can feel why now is not the time to lie. Not that you should be anyway. Is your love for her true? does it go beyond physical features? In ten years when her looks are going downhill, will you still love her? Do you love her for more than her looks? This is important. A lasting marrage is not made on physical love alone. If you do not love her for more than looks, I will never let you see or hear from her EVER again. Just imagine in 20 years, after children, and all the hard work that comes from raising and teaching a new life from scratch From arguing and fighting with them tooh and nail, in an attempt to instill in them the neccessary skills, morals and virtues neccessary for them to live on their own? You know she isn't going to be the same in looks. Will there still be something there, that attracts you to her?"

Billie took a deep breath a searched his feelings of Natasha, he wanted to be sure both when answering Rahegalhoff and for the future.

It didn't take long but he had come up with the answer that seemed like he already knew... "Yes... I truly love her... and would marry her, if she accepts."

Billie was certain, he was sure and most importantly, he was telling the truth.

---------------------------------

Meanwhile, Harold and company had a few days to study their notes and absorb the knowledge.

Khalan was merciful in this respect, and answered their questions individually, and in a group.

Then, they were liscened as LPNs, after a staggeringly difficult test.

After said liscensing, they were forced to help out around the hospital, and get real experience in healing.

Harold was dragged into surgery to assist with surgeries, fetching this or that for the RN's assisting the actual surgeons themselves.

Ian was hauled off to the pediatric ward to help with the various injuries children came in with.

Adrian found himself in Maternity, assisting with delivering the newborns.

Chuckie was with Dr. Tottenkauffen, one of the best Doctors in Ri-an, assisting him in his rounds.

Zane was assisting with the autopsies in the hospital Morgue.

Billie was surprised to find Natasha hugging him he thought Lady Ri-an had taken her away for a discussion very much like the one he just finished with Rahegalhoff. However taking a while for Natasha's "yes" to sink in.

He turned around in her arms and faced her... "you mean... You'll marry me?" It was like the two of them where children and Natasha was his first ever "girlfriend"

---

Harold seem to enjoy,what he had learned about anatomy in his study and now he was able to know see everything up and close, luckily for Harold he had a strong stomach and sights like the intestines didn't seem to phase him and he ably assisted the surgeon with his new found abilities.

Ian, seemed to have a knack of dealing with children. They liked him and when ever they were en masse he'd be swamped in a wave of little ones knocking him over. It was a job that he loved and hated. It was always hard when he had to deal with really sick kids but on the whole there where far more ups then downs. It seemed to come with the job.

Adrian, the youngest of the group dealt with maternity, while he didn't deliver any babies himself he was there and saw the miracle that was birth, this gave him a new perspective on just how valuable life was.

Chuckie, or more formally charles, had been following the Doctor around aiding in the administration of needles and other nursing services for the people that he treats. While doing this he was able to really how sickness and disease effects people as well as learn a few tricks for comforting the sick and gaining a good bedside manner himself.

Zane, had his more gruesome role of aiding in Autopsies. This providied benefit of helping Zane to learn much more about human anatonmy and reactions to various things. The work was so varied that it was almost like a quick review of stuff that he had never heard of before having an exam on it.

She kissed him again instead of answering.

"Well, it sounds like you've got some planning to do." Lady Ri-an said.

"Oh, their much more complicated today than when I got married. Guests, a offical to tie the knot, food, receptions, a honeymoon, a dowery. sure glad I'm not going through it." Rahegalhoff said.

"Sure is expensive too. On the otherhand, I'll give it to you for free." Lady Ri-an said.

"Thank you again." Natasha said.

"There's just one more thing." Rahegalhoff said.

"Indeed, you need to ask my father's permission first." Natasha said.

"It IS only proper." Rahegalhoff said.

-----------------------------------

Eventually, the five were called away from their duties.

"Alright, so tell me what you have learned from your experiences." Khalan asked.

"Thank you so much." said Billie, he was very excited but still the concept of meeting Natasha's father was quite daunting... Even as a paladin that had defeated Kajeenith this was the most nervous Billie had ever been.

"I'll see him now... and come back and do what I can to help organise." Billie said, his eyes sparkled with life as he found Dreamchaser and started riding to the farm where all this started. To see Farmer Wilson and ask for his daughters hand in marriage.

Farmer wilson seemed to know he was coming. He was sitting on his front porch, in an old wooden rocker, holding a doublebarreled shotgun.

"Take my daughter from ME will you?" He aimed and fired at Billie.

Two dogs came racing around the corner from around back. Both German Shepards. The started barking and growling at Billie.

No one ever said it would be easy. Good thing he was wearing armor.

This was exactly the sort of thing that Billie was scared of, with the shot gun fragments only dinting his armour. He started to slowly walk back to not cause the dogs to .. react.

"No, I don't want to take your daughter away from you... I just want to marry her. Can we by chance talk about this without a gun being pointed at me?"

---

Harold started to destribe what he learnt, "In surgery what I learnt was the requirement for precision. Just a bit of one way or another could cause major problems. Cutting too much or too little is something no surgeon wants to do, and It would also translate to accuracy in other areas of medicine too... Precision and Accuracy are very important."


Next it was Ian's turn... "Kid's are remarkable, what I learnt is the resiliance that can occur with the human body. Sometimes the natural response is the best. Of course how they react to the situation is also very important, the mental state is crucial to how well the body reacts to it."

Next was Adrian who had been to the maternity ward. "I'm also surprised at the fragility, Babies who need to be treated as if they could go off in your hands. But it was absolutely amazing gives you a new appeciation for what life actually is and what it means."

Now onto Chuckie... "What I learnt is that is all about doing what we can for the person. We may have medicines that can cure them but what about the side-effects or if there isn't something we can do. It's all about what we can do to help them recover as soon as possible and make them as comfortable as possible. It's about them, not us."

Zane had the most depressing of jobs... Aiding in Autopsies "I learnt that the human body is so intricate, I managed to see some of the results when something doesn't work right. I suppose it makes me aware of just how many ways our bodies can fail and that as a result we need to look after everyone's bodies as much as possible."

Farmer wilson paused and thought about it.

"Okay. You have five minutes. From there." He said/

-----

Khalan adopted a very unsettling look in her eyes.

"Now, I will show you, THE OTHER SIDE. There are those, who know how to do far more painful, destructive things to a person. I've only allowed you the lighter, easier side of things, until now." She said. When she mentioned the otherside, her voice took on a hollow necromantic quality.

She beckoned them all to follow her.

She lead them down further, into a wing of the hospital, they were previously not allowed to enter. Infact, only Docters or better were normally allowed. They were made to put on protective masks.

Then she opened the door, and the smells hit them. She paused, fully expecting them to gag and regurgitate the contents of their stomachs. Nearly everyone did.

the smells could only be described, as the living horrors of undeath.

In there, they saw things that were, wrong.

One woman's flesh was rotting, and had maggots crawling and infesting the open sores.

Another woman had literally lost her mind. She had no eyes, no nervous system, and her brain was in a jar beside her bed. It was liquid Goo now.

A man had horrible gaping holes through his body.

Another was stuck in a permanent state of partial shapeshift between a fire and a water elemental.

Most horrifying of all, was the sweet innocent little baby. It wasn't more than a day old. Adrian had personally assisted in its delivery, yet it would not live past a single month. It had the same rotting flesh the woman did, for she was its mother. Yet more beyond that, its little muscles were horribly twisted, and every single bone was broken.

They left.

Khalan turned, and sat in a chair.

"Their all alive. There are many wonderful things medicene can do, westren, or eastren. But the followers of Necromancy, they do indescribably horrible things. We have tried and exhausted every path of medicene possible, but to no avail. These poor victims, were entertained personally by Kajeenith himself. Somehow, they escaped, or were rescued. Yet for all that we know, even we must admit, there are things, we cannot do. we may be able to save the baby, but even that hope grows dimmer by the minute. You will all learn Necromancy, because if you do not know and understand necromancy, you cannot heal and fix it."

"I love Natasha, and she loves you. Even if I wanted to there is nothing I could do that would stop you from being her father. You have been the strong man in raising her, showing her what she deserves from the man that one day that would marry her. I want to be that man, You mean alot to Natasha and I would never dare try to step in between you and her. If I did I would be hurting her and I don't want that. I want to become part of your family not take her away from you. The only question is will you give me the chance to try and be the man that Natasha deserves?"

Billie paused, he hoped that he had got through to Natasha's father, so far he had at least given Billie the chance to put his case, so Billie could only hope.

---

Adrian was shocked he recognised the baby and it's mother... "I... helped deliver this baby." he stammered... "What can be done? You said there was hope? how can we deal with this? How could someone do that?! Do you think that we can help her?"

"If you hurt her in any way, and so help me I swear You'll wish the Dark things had gotten you first."

Well, he had gotten an answer to the affirmitive. It may not have been warm and receptive, but change was hard for Farmer Wilson to accept.

"Now then, the dowry. My daughter doesn't have much of a dowry but I'll give you this farmstead, its the only thing of value I have. I know you have commitments though, so I'll talk to Rahegalhoff, see if maybe he would get behind the idea of farming. I don't think so though, warriors tend not to see the value of farms, until their bellies are empty. But maybe I'll se if maybe he can spare a few squires a month. I'll work your farm and help them gain a good solid work ethic." Farmer Wilson said.

Appearently, Farmer Wilson did not know of Rahegalhoff's past, nor was it Billie's place to share it."

"Sound like a deal to you?" he asked.

----------------------------------------

"Slow down. You don't know what it is your asking to go get. As for who can do this to a baby, I assume you have met Kajeenith. If not, consider yourself lucky.

As for how to go get it, the last 10 fully trained wizards couldn't retrive Yore's scales. But, if your serious, in the median between the Mirror Universe and everywhere else, is a small reality. this Reality is a single massive Temple-fortress, devoted to Yore and his seven personalities of Alpha, Omega, Kajeenith Creation, Kajeenith Destruction, Warfare creation, and warfare destruction When the six are balanced and in alignment, the seventh and original personality of Yore emerges.

These scales will impart upon its bearer the absolute right to decide what can, and cannot exist. In addition, I can also learn from it, the trick to beating this Rot.

Their somewhere within that castle, filled with legendary monsters, dasterdly tricks and traps, and I don't want to lose anymore lives. I'd rather try and figure it out on my own.

Go, take the rest of the day off." She said. She disappeared.

She never said they couldn't undertake this quest.

She never said they couldn't undertake this quest.

"Yes, thank you sir. Understood... Oh, and I think you'd be surprised about Rahegalhoff" said Billie as he left the Farm and headed back to Natasha and Rahegalhoff.

---

Once Khalan had left, Adrian started to suggest to his fellow mages that they had to do something about helping the woman and her child.

"Come on, we took the oath, if we can help we owe it to them to at least try. I mean look at the baby, All of it's bones are broken... We need to help fix this." pleaded Adrian

"I don't know ... She did say that 10 fully trained Mages failed to get it and don't forget the monsters, tricks and traps."

"What better way to prove our abilities, and you know she didn't say we couldn't do it. She just didn't want to send us on it. Big difference there."

It was Zane's turn... The child must be in excruciating pain, just because we can't see it screaming doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Chuckie agreed to, "We need to help if we can... and we can at least try."

"We could always just get out of there if it just too much for us, but at least we would have tried." commented Ian.

"Okay, so off we go then."

"Yes, thank you sir. Understood... Oh, and I think you'd be surprised about Rahegalhoff" said Billie as he left the Farm and headed back to Natasha and Rahegalhoff.

"Okay, so off we go then."

Harold and the others just seemed to know how to get there, as if it was their fate or something.

Once they got there, they would find Billie on Dreamchaser going along.

The Temple Fortress was unbelievably huge, and divided into four sections.

There were words on the door.

Balance Balance everywhere, such is the way of existing. Five is not balanced, but six is. Four cannot survive.

Billie would know he was needed for something special, a quick conversation with the mages would reveal why they were here.

Besides, they would eventually find, Billie was the only one of the six of them who could touch the Scales. The others would be instantly killed.

Beyond the door, a green glow would surround them all.

All fighting, arcane and Psionic skills have been temporarily sealed. Leaving the castle will unseal them, as will defeating the Minions of Yore.

They would all find, they could not cast magic, no matter how hard they tried, they just simply could not remember how to do it. Billie would find he didn't remember how to fight, at all. there was a stable nearby for Dreamchaser. It was the only spot that was promised to be safe in all of the castle. a ghostly stablehand took Dreamchaser and stabled him for Billie.

After that was done, they were faced with six doors. Four on the bottom, one to the left, one to the right in front of them was a set of stairs going up, and on either side of them was another door. On the second floor, on each side was another two doors.

The Architecture was astounding. The castle was literally divided in half. The entire left side was dark and forbooding, the right side was bright and welcoming.

An Arch-demoness dressed in battle armor leaned against the stairwell.

"Welcome boys. Are you here to dally and play, or were you on a serious mission?" She asked. She was the very same succubus that had killed all ten of the Magi-masters in their previous life. Their defeat had garnered her more power and a promotion.

she toyed with the handle of her sword suggustivly.

All six of them were stunned when confronted with the succubus. Just stood there. Somehow it was Ian who took the lead

"Depends, which way will allow us some 'quality time' together." Was he hitting on the Succubus? Yes, he was Billie was obviously not happy with this and pulled Ian towards him... the conversation was heated but quiet, barely above a whisper

"What are you doing?" he demanded

"Trust me. I know what I'm doing..." replied Ian "It's the only way."

"If we are going to do we should die honourably and not... like that..."

"Billie please, I know what I am doing, trust me please."

Ian extracted himself from the conversation, his plan firstly wrestle control of the situation from the Succusbus by playing mind games, getting himself in charge of the situation and then waiting for an opportunity to exploit a weakness that presents itself.

Also they were just as likely to be attacked which ever option he chose, this way hopefully they where expanding their options beyond a fight in which they would have no choice but lose.

She was beautiful, VERY beautiful.

"Why don't you, kiss me and find out?" she asked.

A kiss, which would cause Ian to lose his soul, and become her slave, forever. Her back was to Billie, her front to Ian, her back was exposed. stabbing someone in the back may not be very honorable, but sometimes it was more pleasant than the alternitives, which in this case was losing their souls to the succubus, or dying fighting her in a battle.

"or how about my friend attacks you." said Ian, Billie screamed at the Succubus and charged at her trying swing his sword at the succubus in a comical fashion. With the warning and the scream Billie reasoned that enough warning had been given to make an attack on the Succubus honourable, even though Ian was being manipulative and dis-honourable in his attempted deception.

She turned to energy, and flashed up the stairs, disappearing into a painting.

Basic fighting skills returned.

The painting came to life. One man seemed to be six. His voice was not understandable, but what he wanted to say, what he wanted to tell them, they could understand anyway.

Six must become three, one group treading the path of darkness, one going towards the light. When the four become two, the seventh path will open. Beware, that which one group does, will effect the other.

"I'll face the dark... I would be the most equiped to handle them." said Billie after some consideration.

"Ian, what you going the darker path with Billie, and I'll take Adrian and either Zane or Chuckie, which ever wants to and we'll head off." suggested Harold

"Okay." said Ian...

"Yeah, I would prefer the lighter path as well." said Adrian

"Well, I supppose it's a flip for us, your call Zane." said Chuckie as he pulled out a coin and flipped it.

"Okay, heads for the lighter." said Zane as the coin was still in the air tumbling around. Chuckie caught it and when he lifted it up it said Heads. Zane would follow Harold and Adrian on the lighter path and Chuckie would go with Billie and Ian on the Darker path.

That still left both parties the question of what door to take. The one immediatly by the front door, the one above it on the second floor, or the one by the stairs. Both parties of course, would have to take the same door on opposite sides.

all doors were shut with a wooden door.

They almost randomly decided that they would try the doors on the second level. One party went through one door and the other went through the door on the other side of the 2nd level. Opening the doors they entered what would lay ahead of them.

Darkside.....

Charles, Billie, and Ian found themselves in a desecrated temple. There were white marble statues of angels against the walls, and their swords were pointed at the three. They could see a picture of Omega Kajeenith, and Omega Warfare. Omega, their combined form, was not present. There was only a single door at the end of the hall. Opening it, revealed a puzzle.

"It took 365 dieties 365 years apiece to build The Warhaven, according to the Divine plan. In the final year, a Dark and devious entity made a key. This Key unlocked the prison that Harold, Adrian and Zane of The Garbage Men Rubbish Company found themselves trapped in, in a Temple of light. But you only have as many seconds to find it." the words glowed in mid air.

The bricks were numbered. Perhaps pushing the proper brick would help them.

The proper brick was too high for Billie to reach, one of the other two would have to levitate to the brick.

Lightside...

Harold, Adrian, and Zane at that same time found themselves in a hallway. Angels made of Black Marble stood against the white walls, hands spread wide in welcome. There was only a single door at the end. Opening it, trapped the three in an inescapable prison. They were inside a beautiful Temple of light.

There was a dark hooded figure.

"Tell me, what is the worth of a good honest man, if he does not help those he claims to be friends with?" the man asked.

Ian, Billie and Chuckie pondered this puzzle..

"So we have 365 dieties and 365 years" said Billie

"And each one of these bricks represents a year that one of the dieties spent in building." suggested Ian

"That would make sense" proffered Chuckie.

"so the result would be 365 times 365...."

"So 365 * 300 is.... 109500, Chuckie can you remember that" said Billie managing to do the sums in his head.

"365 * 60 is 21900 Ian can you remember that... and 365 * 5 is 1825

1825 plus ... " "21900" "is 23725 plus " "109500" " is "133225"

"So that's our number... but it's way up there...."

They wondered what to do next seeing no way for them to go forward.

---

Meanwhile in the light, "Not much, so how CAN we help our friends" asked Harold, apparently thinking that it was a test for the three of them and was focus on the others predicament and not their own.

Darkside...

Chuckie and Ian knew they could easily levitate their way up there, so why they did not, was anyones guess.

Lightside...

"Just remember, you could've been freed by now. Obviously your so called friends have chosen not to free you. By your own words, their not worth much then. I cannot touch those bars without dying. I hope they free you before a day and a half, or you will be dead. I would free you, but I cannot cross to the darkside, and know of none on that side willing to help a lightsider. Just remember, if you get out, take the door on the right side." The man said. He hobbled through the left door.

Ian levitated and found where it said "133225" on the brick and pressed it, hopefully freeing the others on the light side.

Meanwhile Harold replied to the voice, "Well, it's easy to get confused... sometimes."

Ian levitated and found where it said "133225" on the brick and pressed it, hopefully freeing the others on the light side.

Meanwhile Harold replied to the voice, "Well, it's easy to get confused... sometimes."

Well, yes Ian's actions freed them, and, no it didn't. When he pushed the button, the bars around them lifted, but then all the doors vanished.

Darkside...

A giant machine made its way up out of the floor.

Lightside...

The floor began turning. the center dropped away, and the floor stopped, then reversed direction A control panel emerged. It had buttons like punch, kick, Launch missle, use spell, with a little panel open for them to see three enemies. There was also a joystick to control its movements.

"Kill the enemies to reveal the true and correct path, or die." There was a scary demon in armor, and two evil Demon mages

Harold toyed with moving it around, it had been a while since he played any sort of video game.

In principle it looked easy. The opponents the three of them where just standing still for the moment but it didn't take long for the warrior demon to start attacking the ball.

The kick button was pressed shunting the Demon away from the sphere while He attacked by pressing use Spell and directing it at one of the mages.

What looked like a 2d sprite of a ball of flame shot towards the wizards it looked like it struct but it seemed that because a blue effect that it wasn't hurt. Perhaps they were going about it all wrong... Magical attacks on the warrior and physical attacks on the evil mages.

---

"What is this thing?!" exclaimed Chuckie... "Some sort of device... I don't like this... I don't like this one bit."

"Whatever it is, it can only mean trouble defend yourselves against Fire. It's the favoured weapon of Demons."

In the meantime he charged at the sphere and made it attacking it with his sword. Unsure whether or not his attacked damage the sphere he was counted by receiving a surprise blow of force... something emerged out of the sphere and kicked Billie right in the guts projecting Billie across the field.

Moments later a fireball headed towards Ian but he had prepared himself with a shield of chaos which just riped the fireball into it's components.

Bile charged once again at the sphere chopping into it with his sword while the others retaliated with concentrated bolts of fire at the sphere.

---

The battle continued the sphere was slowly being warn down but it wasn't easy for Billie, Ian and Chuckie. However on the lightside things weren't going that well either, stil believing that theses things was only a computergame the energy of their 'avatar' was being worn down, but so it looked to the otherside, the animations had changed to show exhaustion. If they could only keep it for just a bit more.

Both their battles raged on... Billie managing to catch a lucky break... managing to hit and destroy the 'kick' of the machine and with one last final hit the machine got Billie before clanking and crunching internally... soon no noise eminated at all from the sphere. The battle was over, they had won... just.

Meanwhile. "Game Over" appeared on the screen for Harold, Zane and Adrian.

OOC: /me slaps himself with a note saying... "Remember to change forum accounts"

Lightside...
When it went Game over, it really went, Game Over. The Consol flashed. a Woman darted into the room and pulled them to safety right before it exploded.

The woman, turned out to be the good Arianna, the good Warfare's wife, which meant she was now Yore's wife, well, one of them anyway.

"I don't suppose you want to see the truth of what you just did?" she asked.

Meanwhile...

Over on the Darkside, Arianna emerged, this one was clad in body tight shiny black leather that could've almost been sprayed on. Her hair was purple.

"It would seem you just can't trust your friends. Poor boys, you fought so couragously against the machine, but in truth, it was the work of your friends."

On both sides at the same time:

"You doubt me, here's proof." Both said at once, and both showed them the absolute unfettered truth of what just happend. Billie couldn't see the screen Harold was looking at, but sure enough he could bet it was an image of him and the other two.

The image went away.

"Now, here's a tip, if you want to survive. Every once in a while, you'll run accross a mirror, showing another person, on the otherside. You must mimic their movements. They go left, you go right, They go up, you go up. they do something, you do something. For now, enter the open door." They said, disappearing.

On the darkside, it was the far right door against the wall, on the light, it was the far left door, against the wall.

The next couple of rooms and hallways were fairly easy, and empty. They had plenty of dust though.

then they came accross the next section.

Darkside:

Ian, Billie, and Chuckie came accross three diffrent levers.

One was a closed fist, one was a sword pointing down, one was a hand weilding a sword.

They could easily see how each lever worked. Each one was a symbol of 1.3rd of Yore's destructive side. The Fist represented Kajeenith, the sword Warfare, the fist weilding the sword represented Omega, Kajeenith and Warfare's combined form.

The door closed behind them. They knew they would have to split up for awhile, but who would take what switch. Omega's path would be the most treacherous, and difficult. Kajeenith's would be slightly easier, and warfare's, the easiest of all.

Light side...

Harold, Zane, and Adrian found three similar switches. One was an open hand, one was a shield, and one was an open hand holding a shield. they could easily see how each lever worked. Each one was 1/3rd of Yore's creative half. the hand was Kajeenith's symbol, the shield Warfare's, and the hand holding the shield, was Alpha, Yore's combined form.

Alpha's path would be the most challenging, Warfare's slightly less so, and Kajeenith's the easiest.

The door clossed behind them, and they knew they had to split up temporarily to continue on, but who would take what path?

On both sides, they could here the roaring of a great beast behind the combined symbol switches of Alpha and Omega. they heard chains clanking, holding it in place. It would take a truely courageous individual to take those paths.

In the darkside... Billie wondered what was going on...

Billie Chose the Omega path, Ian the Kajeenith path and Chuckie Warfare, each of them pulled their levers then entered Billie breathed in before entering wondering exactly what he would face.

On the light side Adrian went for Kajeenith, Zane for Warfare and Harold for Alpha, he didn't really have much option... Adrian would not have a chance and Zane. Well, either way their decision had been made and just like their friends on the dark side they pulled their leavers and entered.

Darkside...

Billie:

Billie rode the wall as it turned in place. On the other side, he found a long hallway. words were on the walls.

day 447: We saw him coming, Fire trailed in his path, noxious fumes laden with plagues issued forth from his breath. His eyes, they burned with such hatred, so much hatred. It was unreasoning, unyielding. We could do nothing but watch, as destruction trailed in his path. we asked him who he was, he spoke, "I am Omega, The End of all things." His voice was horrible, so unnatural, so very unnatural. If there is a being greater than Omega, I blame him for letting me exist to hear that terrible voice.

The words were in blood. Down the way, Billie could see an innocent wee little rabbit. It was white, so fluffy and so cute, so sweet and innocent. It hoped one step towards Billie, when a massive paw slammed down on the ground, flattening it. Blood spattered everywhere, a giant horrible beast lumbered into view. Those long horns, the bulgine muscles, the touch skin, and that horrible roar. It was a Behemoth. good thing Billie choose Omega's path, the two mages would surely have died. Fortunatly, it had not noticed Billie yet.

Ian:

What Ian saw, he was probably not prepared for. In fact, it boggled the mind as to how it could be here.
An entire city.

The buildings were tall, and made of beautiful crystal. Fountains were here, and there, in beautiful parks. Water tinkled down them, and laughed merrily.
There was a beautiful Blue sky over head. large fluffy clouds drifted lazily about. a light refreshing breeze teased Ian's hair. There were trees, apple trees, in full bloom. The scent on the breeze was delicous.

there were people here too. Each and every one of them dressed in a plain white robe. They were happy, merrily laughing.

an insanely gorgeous woman who normally would not have given Ian the time of day approached him.
"Welcome to our happy little Eden. I'm sure you'll be happy here, I know we are." She said. Her voice was like an angels.

Chuckie:

Chuckie found himself face to face with an unrealistic landscape

Clocks were melting on trees, Stairways came from nowhere, went nowehere, and abounded everywhere.

An Elephant not to far off had a door in its side, which lead to a kitchen and the inside of a house.

A giant flying Eyeball with wings, a giant claw and more fighting power than Chuckie currently had buzzed around Chuckie.

a Figure glowing with red power floated not to far away.

"The landscape of my mind. Can any mortal truely understand Mad Gods? I will give you the power to fight this pesky mortal. My breath is the seed of destruction, my sword its plow. With my energies I nurture and raise your destructive potential." Omega Warfare said.

He flashed into the eye. The eye gained a mouth at the center of its pupil, and screamed in pain. It grew, divided into two, gained a head, and a second Claw.

Both Claws lashed at Chuckie.

Lightside...

Adrian: Adrian found a fountain with red water splashing down it. a water nymph in a playful mood sat nearby. She motioned for adrian to sit next to her.

though not as horrifying, the challenges of the lightside were still hard to beat, and Nymphs were good at inspiring lust. All Adrian had to do was resist her incredible beauty and go through the other door. But that was very difficult indeed.

She stood, and went to him, feeling every inch of his body, pressing hers against his. All he had to do was escape through the other door, but already her arms were around him. what was he to do? Was there really a time limit? Was this really a test? Maybe it was a treat. But then, why else would she be here, if there wasn't more than meets the eye?

Harold found himself face to snout with a fire Dragon. Except this Fire dragon was in pain. He could see it in the eyes of the dragon. It looked at its foot. A sword had pierced it, from a dead warrior who only thought to kill it. It tried biting at it trying to make the hurting go away, and remove the sword.

OCC: WOW, this thread looks pretty interesting, cani use Future tech?

OOC:
This is pure 100% Fantasy. Science is not allowed. Unless its Magiscience, my specialty. Mainly, it was designed to help TGM get used to Fantasy RPs. He's about to go over Psionics with Bal, after he makes it through Yore's Temple-Fortress.

I'm honestly not sure how you'd start on this thread, unless you want to do a seperate similarly themed thread, but realise, once I start my final thread soon, that's it. All other threads are finished, regardless of their actual state.

If you want to get in on the general storyline of what I've been getting to then wait until I start a thread called "The Battle of Ultimate Destiny" Or, something like that. Its my final thread, and you can use whatever you want. Its the thread in which, EVERYTHING I've ever done, finally and permanently gets resolved. Plus you'll walk away with a world or two, more treasure than you can possibly spend in a year, and brand new techs and aquaintences. Well, I only have so many worlds to give away, but the rest is true.

so are we allowed to use chars from movies or shows as long as there Fantasy.

A sword had pierced it, from a dead warrior who only thought to kill it. It tried biting at it trying to make the hurting go away, and remove the sword.

Billie:

He looked up at the creature the Behemoth, massive thing it was. It hadn't noticed him yet and that was a good thing for it probably would do to him something like what it did to the Rabbit he paused for a moment. Working out what to do. He thought that if he could get at the base of it's neck then he would be able to be safe from it's attack and have an easier time attacking something vital like it's neck (Also being thinner than the rest of it). If he was to do this he needed to get up there quickly... Which he started to attempt.

Ian:

"Something isn't right about this, I better be aware." he thought to himself as the woman approached...

"Oh, I don't plan to stay long. Just passing through." he said, but indeed it truly was a beautiful city.

Charles:

"Damn thing changing on me" he thought as he reeled back from the onslaught.

It was then Charles had an idea. He weaved around the creature, whatever it was, a field of Law. If this place needed anything it was some kind of law.

Adrian:

Whether it was a test or treat Adrian was not going to let the nymph stand in his way and dilly daly around while the child that he had delivered wasted away. He grabbed the Nymphs arms and pushed her away. "Sorry, I need to continue on to help someone... I can't."

Zane:

Looked around to the desolate village... All he could do was pick through the village seeing whatever he could find

Harold:

"If I help you, are you going to attack me or my friends in other parts of this castle?" Harold asked unsure of the Dragon,

If the answer was yes, he gingerly went over still aware that the dragon couls chomp him in one "This might hurt a bit." he said before yanking out the sword in one almighty pull.

At the moment he was in a real vulnerable position and everyone knew it.

At the moment he was in a real vulnerable position and everyone knew it.

Billie:

By the time Billie Reached the open area, the Behemoth had turned around. It saw Billie. Its eyes began to glow red. It stood on its hind paws, and let out such a great bellows that it shook the castle to its very foundations. The other five, no matter where they currently where, could both feel and hear the bloodcurdling roar.

Its front right paw came crashing down like a meteor on Billie. Its paw burst into fire due to the friction in the air caused by it decending at such high speeds.

Billie was going to have to do some heroic leaping and dodging the likes of which no Film maker could ever hope to reproduce.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ian:

The woman guided Ian in towards the city. Everyone was happy. There was nothing to want for. Money was outlawed as being criminal. There was no trash littering the streets thanks to an ace recycling program. Some people sat at fountains, discussing philosophy to such a degree, that not even the great greek philosophers could hope to keep up. Some sat at tables, playing complicated games of chess. Others were reading. Everyone was enjoying the outdoors. Some people played fetch with their dogs. children were playing hide in go seek. He was looking for something wrong, in a place where there was nothing wrong, and that was the only thing wrong.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charles:

the thing screemed, and froze in place. the entire place seemed to react to the law field, and crumbled. It all imploded on a single point. Chuckie was in a single small room. The statue of Omega Warfare cracked and crumbled, revealing a path to where Billie was. Energy flowed out of the room, and into that area. He was just in time to hear the Behemoth let out its might roar.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adrian:
"Then why do you linger, and not flee through yon door? Come, sit by the fountain with me, let us sip some fine wine. Loosen up a little." She said, sitting by the fountain.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zane:
Zane was the first to find the key to making it through Yore's castle. The Seal of Yore.
It was in the back of a small hut, and looked like a button. It depicted the Twin Katana swords of Law and Chaos crossed. at the top between the swords, was Alpha Warfare, The source of life, of love, of of law. at the bottom, between the hilts, was Omega Kajeenith, the source of Death, hatred, and Chaos.

To the left of the swords, was Alpha Kajeenith, the source of Hope that Death was not the end of all things, the beginning of religion. To the right, was Omega Warfare, bringer of Despair, of anger, of fear, of War and violence, and the need, for power.

What would happen if Zane pushed the button?

He didn't have time to find out. a familier voice spoke behind him.

"Heh. your all alone now. Alone, are you strong? Let us find out. This village was weak. It was full of fools whose sole strength was that even as they died, they continued to Hope someone would save them. They deserved their fate. Wasn't it Darwin who first suggusted survival of the fittest?"

Behind him was the original Id, The Demon of Elru, father of them all, and the strongest. The air was burning red around Id. Zane was in mortal danger of dying.

Id punched the ground, causing an earthquake.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Harold:
"I make no promises to a man that could easily enslave me if I decided not to hurt him. Though, if you relieve my pain and suffering, I might be inclined to pretend you were not here." The Dragon said, raising its foot for Harold.

After the Yank, blood began to spurt onto Harold. The dragon all but collapsed from the pain. Harold did know a basic form of the regeneration spell. It would heal the dragon up quite nicely for the minute it was active.

Billie:

"Oh, crap" said Billie it seemed whatever way he turned the Behemoth had something coming down to attack him, he even needed to use one of the legs of the behemoth that had come down to leap from it to another place, just how he managed that was anyones guess. Well his plan had fell down, he needed some help.

Ian:

Ian spent a bit of time looking at the recycling function. "Nice place but I need to keep going. Uh, how do I get out?" he asked

Charles:

Charles Ran down the passage wondering if that was the direction that Bille had taken

Adrian:

"Um, no thanks... I'll try for the door." he struggled against the Nymph trying to get himself towards the door... "Uh, can you please let go of me."

Zane:

The earthquake was strong Zane stumbled around just trying to keep his footing and if possible keep away from Id long enough for someone to come and help or at least for the quake to end.

Harold:

Harold thought he should do what he could for the dragon but before casting the spell he crossed over to the other side of the dragon so he could continue on without coming past the dragon and could go onto the next area. And so he did the base verision of the spell he knew on the dragon and headed onwards.

Billie and Charles:

Charles got there just in time to see the Behemoth try and gore Billie with one of its gigantic horns.

Ian:

At the mention of the word Out, everything, and everyone just stopped, and stared at him. somewhere, a baby started crying.

Adrian and Zane:

By the time he asked for the Nymph to let go of him he was already on the otherside of the door, in the city with Zane. The Earthquake had just stopped.

"Well, what do you know, shake things up a little, and another nut pops out of the tree." Id said.

Adrian's appearance confrimed to Zane, that something was off. He had come out of a door, not connected to anything, and for all appearences, was surrounded by nothing.

Harold:

To harold's dismay, there was no way on, without going past the Dragon.

The dragon layed down on the trap door leading to the next area, after it was healed. It fell asleep. Surely Harold was smart enoug not to try and way a sleeping dragon. He had done it to himself.

Billie and Charles:

Charles got there just in time to see the Behemoth try and gore Billie with one of its gigantic horns.

Billie and Charlie:

Charlie managed to teleport Billie away just in time, the horn of the Behemoth passed through the space where Billie was just a millisecond ago. Billie found himself suddenly a metre to the left where he was, wondering what happened he noticed Charlie had emerged from a tunnel. "I need to get up to the base of his neck, can you get me there?" Billie asked "I'll try." replied Charlie and that is exactly what happened

Ian:

Ian sighed he thought that there was some kind of catch and he had just found it... He was now going to have to find someway to get out of here...

However, the locals seemed to be unwilling to help... but he had to progress the others were counting on him... the baby was counting on him.

He pondered what to do... The recycling centre seeimingly the best place and most technically interesting.

Adrian and Zane:

"What the?" ssaid Zane seeiong Adrian come out of nowhere. Perhaps indeed this is all some kind magical illusion and that Id could only do damage if he thought it was real. But he had nothing to be sure one way or the other. But he did have magic so he tried casting a true seeing spell. One that would hopefully reveal whether or not this was an illusion.

Adrian saw what was happening and decided to try something a little cheeky using his water and ice skills he formed snow balls and magically projected them at ID, aiming for his face.

Harold:

Well, It looked like Harold was stuck, he needed go through past the dragon but he couldn't. So he thought about what spells could he use to get the dragon awake... He didn't want to use anything that could seem agressive, in the end his only option was to use a basic spell from the healing school. It would hopefully waken up the dragon.

And so he cast the spell... ready to apologise for waking the Dragon up and to explain why he did so.

"Sorry, for waking you up but I need to go through the trap door but you had fallen asleep on it. Would you please let me pass?" he asked... at slightly confident that the dragon would be inclined to help since Harold did help him.

Billie and Charlie:

Charlie managed to teleport Billie away just in time, the horn of the Behemoth passed through the space where Billie was just a millisecond ago. Billie found himself suddenly a metre to the left where he was, wondering what happened he noticed Charlie had emerged from a tunnel. "I need to get up to the base of his neck, can you get me there?"

Billie and Charlie:

Well, Billie was at the base of its neck, not that that was a good thing, the Behemoth promptly flopped on its back and tried to stab Billie with its Toenails.

Ian:

His way was physicly blocked by everyone.

"Make him Drink!" Someone shouted. Instantly he was thown into the fountain and held under forcibly. He would either drink, drown, or teleport away.

Either way, from his vantage point he could see a building that didn't fit in with all the rest, an abandoned church building.

Adrian and Zane:

The true seeing didn't do anything except waste some energy. He could see all of this was mind boddlingly real, as was the demon. the button seemed to be the key.

Each snowball hit him in each eye. the snow melted, and boiled away before it even hit the ground.

Id caused his energies to flare so greatly, the very air itself began to boil.

He pointed at them, and an explosion of pure heat happened between the two mages. It was hot enough to liquify a normal person. Thankfully they had teleports.

Harold:

The Dragon had not really been asleep.

"So you are brave." The Dragon said.

It stood, it lowered its snout and looked Harold right in the eyes. Many men had stood in this same position. Most of them had died.

"I will not become your servant, but for helping me, I bestow upon you the Red Dragon." The Dragon said. It turned to a great red ball of energy, and shot into Harold.

Harold was no longer human. He was a Red Fire Breathing dragon in human form. He could feel his new Draconic strength filling his body. He could feel his firey breath filling his belly. Before, it would've taken the strength of ten harolds to lift and open the trap door. Now, Harold could lift it as easily as a frisbee. when he opened it. A great statue arose from the floor. It glowed only partially, with the power of Alpha Kajeenith. Adrian and Zane needed to align Warfaqre with the statue, they had found the button. Harold would still have to wait until the two realised they only needed to push the button to defeat Id and align Warfare.

Harold's skin began to itch, as small red Dragon scales took their proper place, mixed in with his skin.

Harold would feel wonderful. He would feel like he could take on a nice refreshing Atomic blast head on and still survive. That wasn't far from the truth either.

Billie & Charlie:

The Toenail hit Billie like a sharp sword but luckily it only glanced of his armour so not too much damage was done, Billie was flung off the beast but performing a jumping manouvre Billie bought his katana down on the beast while Charlie Cast a spell blinding it.

Ian:

Once he knew what was happening Ian held his breath under water and suddenly disappeared to the surprise. He had choosen his destination, in line of sight, just out the front of this weird building. Perhaps he would be able to find a way out there.

Zane and Adrian:

With his attention being focussed on the button Zane teleported out of the way of Id and pressed the button while just Adrian just teleported to the side and out of the way. Making the comment... "Fire, how creative."once he got out of the way.

Harold:

He was certainly surpised by this change, the power, but also how he felt. This seemed to be the best thing that had happened to him... Though he wondered if he would be able to keep this once they had left the Castle.

Whether he would or not he started to descend down the trap door. Making sure to thank the dragon, not only for the power but for listening.

Billie managed to hit an aorta. Billie and Charlie got to watch the young behemoth die a slow painful death as all its blood spurted out of its neck, thrashing and kicking all the while. Eventually, all it could do was lay there helplessly and moan pitifully. Eventually, it couldn't even do that.

Because he killed it, he gained the Behemoth's mighty strength. There seemed to be a mighty trap door in the ground.
------------------------------
Ian: Everyone looked around wondering where he went. They were passing within inches of him, looking in his direction, yet they could not see him.

Inside were many pews, an organ, and a statue of The Mad God of Darkness, holding his sword. It was visably keeping the people in the state the were, great bolts of energy shooting out of the statue. Clearly, if Ian destroyed the statue, then the people would be freed.

-------------------------------------

Zane, Adrian, Harold, and the entire Lightside:

As Adrian and Zane pushed the button, Id froze, and teleported away. Everything grew brightwhite, as the entire lightside began shaking and trembling.

I am Alpha, the beginning of all things. Who hast disturbed mine slumber?
The words echoed all around them, and then it grew dim. When normal sight returned, the entire Lightside was morphing and changing all around them.
The only spot that was not, was the circle upon which they stood.

In front of them was Alpha, weilding a sword.

"I shall not align with mine brother Omega. You shalt not force me to do so. Verily I shall deal thee death first." Alpha said.

Thank goodness by this point the Behemoth had died, restoring the mages back to about normal. Not that that would help any.

Alpha encased them in a sudden block of ice.

Billie & Charlie:

Billie wrenched the trap door open... It seemed easy, it seemed as light as a feather.

He and Charlie descended down the trap door.

Ian:


Ian looked at the statue pondering how to destroy it... In the end it was just a simple yet as powerful as possible Lightning bolt directed towards where the heart would be anatomically.

He kept this spell going as long until he couldn't sustain it any more or the statue exploded or collapsed.

Lighside coming soon...

Billie, Charlie, Ian, and the entirety of The Darkside:

Billie and Charlie discovered that no they weren't going to descend down the trapdoor, a statue of Omega was going to ascend.

As Ian destroyed Kajeenith's statue, everything went brightwhite, and the darkside began shaking and trembling.

I am Omega, the end of all things. My coming is inevitable, and cannot be forestalled.

Everything went dim, and when they could see again, the entire Darkside was morphing and changing around them, save for the circle upon which they stood.

Infront of them stood Omega, weilding The Sword of Dissolution.

"So, you think you can manipulate gods with impunity do you? Its going to take more than you've got to make me align with Alpha." Omega said.

He cracked his neck and froze them in a sudden block of ice.

Zane, Adrian, Harold, and the entire Lightside:

Alpha encased them in a sudden block of ice.

Harold started to get Red hot and his shape started to change... Bursting out of the Ice cube was the form of a Red Dragon... The Ability that the Dragon just moments ago gave to him.

The entire block of ice shattered releasing him, Adrian and Zane from it's encapsulation. Needless to say that Adrian and Zane where surprised.

Harold, got in a good fire breath at Alpha before while the others just got their own fireballs at Alpha

He cracked his neck and froze them in a sudden block of ice.

A chunk of ice to Billie's left broke away and flew away meanwhile the rest of the ice started to crack and collapse, Charlie and Ian used a space shield to dodge the falling ice.

The final chunk of ice... a large one was thrown at Omega with a whole lot of force... everything that Billie Could muster. And with Billie having the strength of a Behemoth... That was alot.

Charlie created magical water while Ian froze it and propelled it like projectile at Omega.

Lightside:

Alpha chuckled behind them.

"Thou must indeed do better than that."

Darkside:

Omega grabbed all the ice, and crushed it between his hands. Then he mixed into an alcoholic beverage.

"Ahh, just what I needed. Thanks." He said.
He drank it all. While he was drinking, an explosion ripped out of him and to the very edges of the arena.

Harold turned around accidently nearly swipping the other mages, there he wasn't quite used to be a dragon, but he lept at Alpha, Clawing and biting at him. Meanwhile the mages summoned spearsand then enlarged themselves. The spears enlarging too. The three of them all physically attacking Alpha at once

---

Working together the Mages set up a wind barrier that blew the explostion up and away. Keeping them unharmed. After the explostion Billie launched himself at Omega using his new found strength to leap and attempt to chop off ( or at least injure) the arm that had held his Alcoholic beverage.

Ian while Billie was in the air attempted to place a dimensional lock on Alpha while Adrian prepared a teleport spell to transport Billie to a new location if needed.a

A seventh voice came out of Alpha and Omega at once.

"Hmm, six mortals. You weaker than the average treasure hunter. HAHA! I like your courage. I shall be once again. Come mortals!" Yore said.

The six found themselves back at the beginning of the castle. All doors closed, and both sides became one. The horrid picture of the disfugured man became a picture of an ancient being older than most gods. The picture dissolved, revealing a hallway. Stairs made of pure light descended to the six.

While only being light, they were as solid as rock.

Unless they wanted that poor baby to die a slow horrible death, there was nowhere to go but up.

In the hall, the wall shut behind them.

There were doors lining the hallway, all the way down. they all stood open, and in each room they saw treasures, treasures that only got more fabulas as they progressed down the hall.

At the very end, they could see what they were after, Yore's scales of balance, on a floating platform.

"Choose mortals, what door ye shall enter, if you can outwit and defeat that which is within, then you can have the treasure."

Of course, they had come for one thing, and one thing only. the scales.

As they entered the door, the platform shot into a hole in the ceiling.

Then they heard a great roar of a beast not unlike the one billie killed earlier.

A great gate opened, and the door sealed shut behind them. into the room came a legend of a beast. It was a behemoth, so old and powerful, it had become a legend in its own right. Its eyes turned all before it to stone, like the Cockatrice. It was big, and its coat was blood red. Its mane was snow white, and its horns, shiny jet black.

It sniffed the air, and smelled the blood on Billie.

It let out a great roar of anger. Billie would quickly realise, the Behemoth he had killed earlier, was the sole offspring of the legendary Catoblepas. The Catoblepas made the earlier Behemoth look like a baby, which indeed it most certainly was.

Dark stormclouds gathered inside the giant room, as The Catoblepas stood upon its hind legs, and let out a mighty roar no one could ever forget, for as long as they lived. One filled with hate, and sorrow.

Energy crackled along its body, its head lost in the storm clouds.

Then, it came crashing down, and with it, came a great shower of meteors. No one was safe from the meteor strike. As it came down, trying to crush billie, it let its stone gaze sweep over everyone, Lightning crashing in the process.

Stone came out of the ground and encased them all as Ian threw up an earth shield around them. The meteors cracking the stone encasing them, the earth shield, After the meteors the shield started to collapse only a fractured shell remaining.

It was some of their previous training that told them to avoid the gaze of the Behemoth and that's what they did averting their eyes.

"What are we going to do now?" asked Adrian who for once didn't have any ideas...

"It wants me, I killed it's child. It's raging. Perhaps if I can get on it's head That'll give you time to work out something."

"Right, here you go." And with that Billie Suddenly appeared a couple of centimetres above the Behemoth's head. He grabed on to whatever he could find and held on for dear life while the mages figured out something to do.

The skin of the Catoblepas was incredibly tough, and felt as hard as a paved surface. Obviously a sword would have little effect, as would most magic spells.

The Catoblepas blatently ignored the fact Billie was on its back.

It attempted to Gore Harold with its horns, while shooting a meteorite out of its mouth at the other four.

Billie's view of the mages was obstructed by the meteor hurtling towards them... He was helpless standing there the meteor was going too fast for him to do anything about. He was there just watching the meteor hit the mages. For all Billie knew they were dead... Billie didn't know what to do and just stayed for a moment, as if frozen... shocked at what seemed to happen.

However moments later the mages just appeared as if standing in the rubble.

"I'm glad we practiced both time and space teleporting at once." Zane commented.

"This is stupid." commented Harold we need a way to destroy it... a bomb perhaps."

"We could shove the bomb in it's face. Blow it up from the inside." said Adrian...

With that Billie leaped and rolled safely off of Catoblepas. They just had to survive one more attack before they could deal with Catoblepas for once and for all.

Energy Crackled between its horns at the six mages. It Used Teleport on them, but not their entire body, no, it just teleported their lungs out of their body, robbing them of the ability to breath.

Panic set in for a moment as they found themselves without lungs... Carbon Dioxide gas was building up in their blood stream and soon... they would die unless they got new lungs. A thought flashed across their mind but it was soon dismissed... Teleporting the lungs back would cause a whole lot of medical problems... Then almost as quickly another one flashed...

Regeneration... The spell that Harold has used on the Dragon... Harold quickly managed to do the spell quickly and gasped for air... "Regeneration" he said...
then the others finally heads shrouded in the panic cleared, regenerating themselves...

And so they had just made it before the lack of oxygen started to effect them... and so now was the time for a final attack...

Zane summoned two bottles of liquid... on their own each was as safe as water but combined they make C-4 look like a flash. Each bottle made its way into the mouth of the beast breaking the bottles in the process.

And they exploded inside the Catoblepas. Of course, this killed it.

As it died, it cast Energy Flare, one of the few spells that made Hiroshima look like a common puny match flaring up after beiing struck.

It was centered on the six.

First a high pitched scream ripped through the air, as everything went bright white. When the tension could no longer hold it exploded in a massive bang that literally took out a significantly huge portion of the Castle.

The Radiation in the air was so thick, if the explosion didn't kill, then surely it would.

If they somehow survived, they would find a door open to an area beyond.

Everyone was transformed into a gooey elasticy Trash Slime with having no organs as such these things are quite resiltiant... The explosion severly hurt but no permanent damage was done as they where thrown about. As trash slimes they then started to absorb the Ambient radiation.

Still as trash slimes they continued on through the door absorbing any radiation they find as they go along.

There was absolutly no radiation in the room beyond.

"Not all things are as they seem. Kajeenith enjoys tricking mortals into doing his bidding."

The words glowed on the wall. a Warning?

Either way, in the next room, they could see the scales they had come for!

OOC: Omega Weapon is an optional fight. you don't have to, but you could if you wanted. either way, let me know in your next IC post. You can do whatever you want, as long as you do not leave the room.

All 6 of them returned to the form they were before, Harold remained a dragon while the others where human again.

Adrian took a step forwards towards the scales but Billie grabbed him by the hand.

"I better go, I have armour and I think this area might be trapped... Particularily with the warning."

Billie pulled him back and started his own way slowly towards the scales alert and aware.

OOC: Yeah why not.

OOC: Yeah why not.

The Platform rose, and this time it was connected to a Monster!

It had Dark Blue and Dark Purple scales all over its body. It had a 30 Ft. Sword. The beast was 90 Foot tall. It looked like a Giant riding a Behemoth, fused together where Rider met Behemoth. It took the scales and ate them whole.

It began twirling its sword around, and it rose on its hind legs and came down, shooting a Pillar of Light at all six of them. It wasn't harmless light. This light was as damaging as a Lightsabre, vaporising everything in its path instantly. Not even a Trash Slime could withstand it. The Omega Weapon was by far the greatest monster to exist.

OOC: There's nothing left to do but wear it down and hack it to pieces. However if you've been paying attention, you already know how to defeat it easily and quickly. I'm not talking about a bomb either. If you don't know, I'm not going to tell you, and your never going to know.

Everyone scattered as the Pillars of Light came down upon them each only barely mising one, vaporising a bit of Adrian's clothing but for now they were safe...

"I'll see you in a bit." said Billie as he using his Behemoth strength leaped towards the Giant's mouth. Apparently aiming to get swallowed by it. And indeed he was, though he was aiming to be swallowed whole.

"What are you doing?!" exclaimed Harold but it was too late his course of action was set. Grabbing it's jaw and catapulting himself inside it.

Meanwhile the mages, without Billie felt a bit defensless but by golly they weren't going to just sit bag and do nothing 2 bolts of lightning aimed at the hand that the beast was holding the sword in and the the others created an ice storm trying to blind the creature.

Omega weapon paused and scratched its head, puzzled as to why Billie would waste the energy of getting swallowed. He fell out of a warp portal next to the mages. It shrugged and was well and truely shocked by the bolts.
The sword vanished. It made little tiny minature stars in its hand. It shot several hundred thousand at all six of them.
This space is void
OOC: Nope. That's not it. Swallowing isn't the key. Obviously you missed it. ahh well. I'll just have to try my hardest to kill you. You can keep trying though.

OOC: Oh, well. I think I have it but if it is what I think it is it will have to wait.

IC:

The 6 of them hunkered down under a Space Shield diverting the many tiny stars around them as the stars started to reign down on them. The mages turned the stars against the thing that had sent the stars at them.

Levitating then flinging the stars back at the Monster, While Bille decided just exactly how the Monster was connected to the platform and if there was some way that he could control it.

Omega weapon ripped the platform off its head, and used it as a Shield. then it threw it at them like a discus.

OOC: The Platform isn't it. It was magicly controlled anyways. Cryptic Hint Number two: I only taught using the best. Sometimes a good swift kick in the rear is better than all the helping hands in the world.

The discuss disappeared from in front of them and appeared behind the Omega Weapon moments later the platform discuss would plunge into the back of the monster, the mages had teleported the discuss from it's current location to it's new one.

Harold started to use his bite and tried to grab onto the Omega Weapon's head/face trying to crush it's mouth.

They gathered up their mana and all launched lightning bolts at it's feet.

IC: Omega weapon sensed the Teleportation, and right as harold went to bite he met the discus head on. Omega weapon had dodged. He grabbed Billie and used him as a shield against the lightning, then hurled him ar Harold.

OOC:
http://charas-project.net/resources/Monsters/3992_1074314370_small.Jpg The rider part has a head too.

Harold reverted back into Human form, he started to doubt whether they where going about this the right way the discuss crashed into the wall and followed by a Billie Full battle armour crashing down on him. It wasn't as bad as what it could have been but still caused A bit of pain.

"I don't think we are going about this the right way." stated Harold as the fragments of the discuss started to rain down around them

"This place is all about Balance right? We can't think about unbalancing things by 'winning' we gotta somehow create a balance... but how do we create a balance with a creature as powerful as this?"

They started to ponder as all 6 of them went into total defense trying to work out their next move before trying something else.

The top portion of Omega Weapon blew up a tornado.
The Bottom Portion blew fire into it.
The Burning Whirlwind of pain twirled into the group. Due to his Fire Dragon heritage, Harold was uneffected.

"Balance!" Adrian exlcaimed finally realising what was happening...

This wash just like their magical washing machine they used to attack Id, but the question was, how do you defend against air and fire.The answer was staring them in the face. "with water and earth".

Adrian created water, feeding it into the firestorm while Harold realising what Adrian meant summoned an earth shield to protect them from the wind.

While in the protective cover of the shield Adrian revealed his plan...

"This whole temple is about Balance up and down, left and Right fire and water, earth and air, creation and distruction. Everything all at the same time. So the question is how do we balance with an extremely powerful creature that exists... Easy... you make it unexist. "

"What are you saying?" asked Billie

"I'm saying use the necromancer magic to un-create it. We don't have any other option."

And that's what they did when they had the opportunity to do so, they let down the earth sheild and all the five mages combined to cast the most powerful uncreation spell they could in an attempt to pass this trial, however the spell was for specifically uncreating the Omega Weapon before them.

Without realising it, they used the powers of the Void. Maybe it was Yore's Gigantic Temple Fortress, maybe it was Agrinja, The Magi-master opf the Void's expert instruction. But at a rather early level, they managed to crack open the void and use it.

While it didn't kill it, Omega weapon's self preservation instincts kicked in, and it fled. The scales fell out clean and shiny from a hole in its gut.

If the scales exist, they bind the darkness away. If the scales are destroyed, The darkness comes. It was the final words.

"You invoked the powers of the Void... I don't like this... I don't like this at all." The warning, perhaps indeed this had all been a trick by Kajeenith to get his hands on the scales, anyway what had been done had been done.

If it was a trap he'd be ready, if it wasn't well it wouldn't matter. Billie picked up the scales wondering what would happen next.

"I think we should leave..." he said as he started on a journey with the mages away.

Absolutly nothing got in their way or attempted to stop them as they went back. Khalan was rocking the baby. Its condition had worsened considerably. Tears stood in her eyes. Then she noticed Billie with the scales.
"the scales, but, how in the hell did you survive Yore's Temple Fortress?" She asked.

She set the baby down.
"There is a certain spell contained within these scales. It can undo The Void Rot. won't you think of the Baby? It's not too late for the infant to survive, and live. Just let me take the scales into my hands and look for it, then you can take them right back where they belong, and we can talk graduation when you get back."

"Right," said Billie "Though I think I should just be around it to provide an extra pair of hands... and a sword... to defend it against the void."

He said as he started to hand the scales over to Khalan

"Right," said Billie "Though I think I should just be around it to provide an extra pair of hands... and a sword... to defend it against the void."

He said as he started to hand the scales over to Khalan

Khalan took the scales. Her had was oddly pale, and her nails weren't nearly as long. Wasn't she wearing grey robes just a moment ago, when had they become Black Leather, and when did she become a man? Infact, when did Kajeenith replace Khalan?

It was too late, as Kajeenith revealed the truth, the scales crumbled to dust.

"BILLIE NO!" the real Khalan screamed as she rounded a corner looking for them.

Kajeenith stepped back and laughed.

"Oh won't you please think of the Baby?" he said in a mock imitation of Khalan's voice. The baby and all the people in the ward faded away, to reveal it was all just an alcove with a common drinking fountain in it.

It had all been Kajeenith's trick.

"Well old woman, it seems things have changed." Kajeenith said.

energies crept accross his body, and he disappeared.

Khalan kneeled in the corner weeping.

"No! This cannot be." She sobbed.

"Oh Billie your safe!" Natasha cried out. She leapt on billie and covored him with many warm kisses.

Rahegalhoff leaned against the corner.

"You knew this was coming Khalan." Rahegalhoff said.

"That doesn't make it any easier." She said.
"So, when the time comes, we will put out the call for all to aid us in the defence of The Crystal of The Heart of Creation. I don't want Omnisource to die by Kajeenith's hands anymore than you do." Rahegalhoff said. He spoke as if everybody knew full well what he was talking about.

Billie and the others just stood their shocked as Kajeenith morphed back into his true form and destroyed the scales...

"What have we done?!" ... gasped Billie, realising the danger that Omni himself is in danger... but it was too late now.

All they could do was stand in shock... after a few minutes they started to move around and finally started to deal with what had happened internally. They had made a real stuff up... Of course how where they supposed to know, they were new to all this, perhaps that was how come Kajeenith was able to so successfully manipulate them.

Either way, the time would come where they would at least try to reverse the damage that they had done. It was with this, that they were able to move on with their Lives... Billie... particularily with Natasha.

--- Some Time Later ---

Last minute touches to the polish of Billie's armour where being made, the time for his wedding with Natasha was fast approaching

"Are you sure it's all right, it's good."

"Yes, Billie, your armours all nice and shiny, reflecting the light." confirmed Ian and indeed it was the light sparkling off his Mithral armour was majestic. It almost looked like he was exuding his own brilliant white light.

Harold grabbed his hand and started to pull Billie towards where the wedding ceremony would take place. Billie took a big breath, his life would never be the same again and he just couldn't wait to start living his life with Natasha.

Rahegalhoff was standing down there waiting for him, natasha was, somewhere, The male magi-masters were all sitting at the end of several pews, Lady Ri-an was nowhere to be seen, though as was normal with most weddings all the women felt the need to congregate to single closed off room and help the bride get ready. They were in the middle of Farmer Johnson's front yard. He was off waiting to give his daughter away.

Rahegalhoff and Billie left their helmets off, as was proper. There were however, a small scores of brothers with their helmets off to the side, ready to snatch them up in case trouble was started.

Deuce was off to the side. He saw Lady Ri-an come up to the front and sit in the position of Matron of Honor, as though she was Natasha's mother, which she wasn't, but there was no one living to fill that role, so she did.
Deuce conjured up a grand organ like the kind covering entire back walls of cathedrals and began playing the Bridal Chorus from Richard Wagner's Lohengrin, better known as here comes the bride.

Natasha walked down the aisles, her father had her right arm, escorting her to the alter. Natasha wondered if Billie invited anyone special, such as his mother or father, or family, or supervisors. She was wearing Silk, Satin, and looked exceptionally lovely. Most of the small village was there. She was trailed by Kado, Khalan, Stella and Scria. All the Magi-masters were in their formal dress robes, seen only during special occasions.

Deuce stopped playing right as Natasha got up to the alter.

"Who gives this woman away?" Rahegalhoff asked.
"I, Howard Johnson, Natasha Johnson's father and sole remaining living relative, give her away." Farmer Johnson said.

Rahegalhoff looked at Billie.

"Do you agree to take this woman and see to her needs and take care of her?" He asked.

This was only the beginning, he hadn't even gotten to the vows or the casting of the Bond yet.

Of course, Harold, Ian, Zane, Charlie and Adrian where all there, but apart from them there was only one other person from the Garbage Men that had came... Rachael with her father, we could go into the history about that but for now that doesn't matter.

They all looked on with a smile on her face as the helmetted Billie and Rahegaloff stood there with the newly arrived Natasha standing by Billie's side.

Billie looked towards Natasha and smiled, not that through he helmet you could see much but still the words "I Do." came echoing clearly through as he stared into her lovely face.

OOC: You missed the part where I wrote that Billie and Rahegalhoff did NOT have their helmets on.

IC:
Natasha's father sat down next to Lady Ri-an.

"Then, we are gathered her today to eternaly bond this man and this woman in the sancticty of marrage. That which Heaven has put together, let no man or woman put asunder." Rahegalhoff said. That last part sounded more like a threat than anything.

"First, credit where credit is due, thank you Lady Ri-an for a clear day. Now, on to the subject of marriage." Rahegalhoff said.

He talked of marrage and what it was, and what it meant. The responsibilities and duties of a man to his wife, and of a wife to her husband. He spoke of how a lasting marrage can only be of equals, and then finally, he got to the vows, he listed all the traditional Vows and then listed one about defending each other against all others.

First he rattled them off to Natasha, and she said I do, then he rattled them off to Billie, and waited for him to say I do. After Billie said I do, and they exchanged rings, he spoke again.

"In most modern ceremonies, this would be the end, but not mine." He said.
He took theyr hands, and joined them, covering theirs in his.

A spark of Billie's soul, and a spark of Natasha's soul each escaped their respective bodies, and exchanged bodies thus Billie gained 10% of Natasha's soul, and she gained 10% of his. A Telepathic bond was established between the two, allowing them to know what the other is feeling, even at great distances, it would allow them to share surface thoughts, even at great distances, and know right exactly where the other is, regardless of where they where. No force could ever stop this bond, not even death itself.

Rahegalhof removed his hands.

"You may now kiss the bride." He said.

Natasha lifted her veils and and gave him a deep passionate kiss that lasted for a whole minute.

"save some for the Honeymoon." was all Rahegalhoff said.

The swapping of souls certainly felt weird and now he was sure his connection with her was more than anything he could of imaginined. He was her and she was him. There was nothing now that one could hide from the other, it was now like they were one together. It felt strange and foreign but... welcomed and comforting at the same time, the strange interplay of emotions lead up to the final kiss.

Which was more than Billie could have imagined, as the of them started to leave to start their honeymoon as they left they would rose petals seeming falling from the sky into the path, a nice little effect thanks to Adrian who thought it would be not only appropriate but enhance the look and the effect of the whole ceremony.

Billie bagan laughing and giggling like a school boy, he'd never thought he'd be this happy, once outside there was no carriage, no limosine.. Just a horse. Dreamchaser, who would take them to where they'd certainly would enjoy their honeymoon. Billie mounted the horse and then offered his hand down for Natasha to climb up. Once the two of them were on Dreamchaser he whinnied, as he did the first day they met Natasha but that was the only delay as together they rode off to face whatever the future had in store for them.

And their honeymoon would be long and enjoyable.

Meanwhile...

Queen Lucy the Amourous had the five mages summoned to begin their Psionics training. Now, there were were two things wrong with this.

One, Queen Lucy was an Aquamarinian, and while they could teach, Queen Lucy and those who followed her rule did not suffer from Nymphomania, they enjoyed every minute of it.

Secondly, it did not matter what species or sex anyone was, as long as they were within tenticles reach of her, she wanted to get friendly.

As soon as they got in the startlingly small room, small because it was 40 ft square, and Lucy was 30 ft square, and she had her room built that way on purpose. As soon as they entered her room, the doors shut behind them, and she wrapped a tenticle around each of them and pulled them, closer. She was exceptionally bright pink today.

"So, I hear you five BIG STRONG men are out to learn Psionics. Why don't you, get a little closer and tell me about it?" She asks. She was actually purring. She was not the right person to be teaching anything useful outside of the bedroom.

"Well, uh thank you Queen Lucy for the complement, but yeah we want to uh, learn psionics so if you could point us in the right direction." said Harold reting to avoid the tentacles, in which he stepped back and erected himself a spatial shield, the queen would find that her attempts to fondle would pushed away from Harold.

The other 4 mages quickly followed suit as it was obvious that would soon try and fondle the others.

The other 4 mages quickly followed suit as it was obvious that would soon try and fondle the others.

"Lucy!" King edward yells as he comes in from another direction.

King Edward was normally white, and of all five, the most fairly balanced.

"How many times do I have to tell you not everyone wants to get that friendly?" he asked.

Their spatial shields were dispelled, not by an aquamarinian, but by the mages themselves, as King Mark the Angry surprised them from behind. He was Red, and it was unclear if he was insane, or just really short tempered.

He grabbed all five mages and dulled their senses. He shook them all about like a Rag Doll.

"Invaders!" he shouted angrily.

"No, their not invaders." Said John the poisonus. He was green. He was poisonus in every way possible. He countered the sense dulling.

King George the Rebelious, black in color, snatched the mages away. He swam to an emptier section.

"We could teach you our secrets, but, as you can see, things aren't all that well organised. If it were not for a strict system of law, we would degenerate into much worse Chaos. I fear that any teachings we did, would only result in driving you over the edge. I have put in a call to the Balroggan College of Psionics, and they have agreed to send over one of their best representitives to teach you." George said.

George helped them out of Fluidic space and back to Ri-an.

*TAG* for participation and instruction.

Gotta read up a little first...
