Talon

[i][color=teal]Cerdian awoke, his arms empty of Mara. It had been a mere draem in reality form. Mara had gone through that fight, but she was still far from Hunter. Cerdian bellowed in a rage, then conitnued on towards Ashrenia, aiming to destroy it...[/i][/color]

[color=crimson]OOC:Hell. I didn't think ANYBODY in this RPG ever played the MMX games. Sweet. Outlaw, you just made my job a lot easier! Someone that knows the pattern of the Shotgun Ice's attack, and the names of Flame Stag and Blast Hornet has played ALL THREE of the SNES games! ----------------------------------------------------------------- [b]Zero:[/b]Hello, Hawkman! [b]Hawk:[/b]The name is Icicle Hawk, bastard! And you will never see the next eight Maverick leaders! I will delete you! [b]Zero:[/b]Something tells me you've spent TOO much time with NetNavis. It's destroy, dumba**. [i]As the hawk stood there, completely dumbfounded, Zero pulled out his sabre and cut the hawk's wings off. He stole his power, focusing it into his Z-buster chip, gaining the Ice Gatzou Fenrir Tech. He backed up, looking straight at him. He dashed forward, tapping his Gatzou energy. A shield of ice formed in font of him, turning him into a sub-zero bulldozer. The hawk was a pile of frozen circuits in seconds.[/i][/color]

[color=teal][i]Firemyst slowly trudged along, his thoughts killing him. His mother was sitting on Haas shoulders. Yet how could he tell her? How could he explain that his own father was Serenol Muirin? He shook them back, then pulled out his spear and sword, sensing the demonic Kyton that slowly pressed it's way toward the group. Suddenly, a barbed chain snaked through his left arm, spraying blood across trees...[/i][/color]

[color=crimson][i]Inside the compound, Zero was radioed by Rage.[/i] [b]Rage:[/b]Zero! Come in! Come in! You're heading into a trap! Stop now! Vile is out here and-UGHH! [b]Zero:[/b]Rage! Rage! Come in! [i]Suddenly, One and Two jumped from behind a console with an army of Mavericks in tow. One carried a huge bazooka, Two carried a large bastard sword. Six other large Mavericks stepped out...[/i] One-Rocket Assault, Explosive Shockwave Two-Razor Wind, Razor Wind Vampant Bat-Blackhole Buster, Darkness Slash Lava Ox-Lava Beam, Fiery Blade Rex Mantis-Dino Mines-Mantis Slash Electron Starfish-Electron Charge, Charged Sword Gutsman-Gut Punch, Gut Punch Icicle Hawk-Icicle Shot, Icicle Razor(Ice Gatzou Fenrir Tech for me) [b]Zero:[/b]I get the blue bird! Everybody else, same as the base![/color]

[color=teal][i]Cerdian was hit hard by a giant chunk of debris from the temple, and he fell, unconscious. Suddenly, an image flew into Hunter's mind... His wife was fighting against Father Time in a battle of memories. They threw memories of the past at each other, hoping to unnerve and finally break the opponent. Father Time appeared to be losing...until he threw a memory of Mara's mother at her. The memory caused Mara to collapse, her eyes watering. When she opened them, she saw Serenol. She looked at the man that loved her so dearly, and she smiled...[/i][/color]

[color=teal][i]Blaze led the group up the last flight of stairs onto the roof, his Mp5 getting well-used along the way. He broke down the door to the helipad, radioing for a chopper along the way.[/i] [b]Blaze:[/b]Leon, this is Blaze! We need a chopper, fast! We have civilians that need to evac! [b]Leon:[/b]Alright. I'll disp-AHHH! Get away you bastards! *gunshots fire, radio dies*[/color]

[i][color=crimson]The Zero Unit made it through, the troops mostly safe aside from the unfortunate soldier. Zero suddenly got a bright idea...[/i] [b]Zero:[/b]X, hold out your buster! [b]X:[/b]Why? [b]Zero:[/b]Just do it! [i]X held out his buster, and Zero copied the rolling shield into his sabre. Zero reconfigured it into a drill sabre, and from the blueprints and crossprints of Vile Isle, the island had no subterranean defenses. Zero drilled into the ground, takeing Rage, Zi, X, Lidon, and Protoman with him. He radioed Bass and told him to get the air defenses buzzing.[/i] [b]Zero:[/b]Bass, why don't you get a little action going? You're nimble enough to avoid missiles and anti-air lasers. [b]Bass:[/b]Woohoo! Action! Bass out![/color]

[color=teal][i]Cerdian walked, slowly, menacingly towards the great city. Suddenly, he stopped, looked at the temple behind him. The large temple stood menacingly over him, striking fear into the barbaric beast. Then Cerdian grinned and opened his mouth, firing a huge lightning blast into it. The temple exploded, showering debris everywhere...[/i][/color]

[color=teal][i]Cerdian flew forth, and Elysan looked up, noticing that the beast wasn't causing as much destruction as it could. His mind was in chaos, for the seperate sould of Sernol and Nilothakir were fighting, but Nilothakir subdued the elf, gaining full control of the body, and thus the abilities to destroy. He looked south, towards Ashrenia...[/i][/color]

OOC:Same goes for my guy. Hey, Harlequin. Would you let another person in? --------------------------------------------------------------------- [color=teal][i]Blaze looked at Lacroix, laying prone on the bed. His eyes unfocused and his hands clenched into a clawlike grip. The way he reacted to Alastuin's absence brought memories to Blaze's mind...[/i] [b]Blaze:[/b]AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY HEAD!!!!! [i]Blaze clutched at his forehead, falling to the ground. It felt as though a dagger had penetrated the very folds of his heart. He screamed aloud, causing Raistlin, Eve, and Ilythiirtar to race back in. When they saw Blaze, all three turned away. His body arched across a chair, his clear, ice-blue eyes staring imploringly at the ceiling. Blood seeped from his mouth, his dagger stuck into his shoulder...[/i][/color]

[color=teal]OOC:Biggest twist of all... -------------------------------------------------- [i]Hunter gasped again as he realized his wife was gone. The hatred of himself, the hatred for everything somehow boiled back up, the sands of time as yet unforgiving. The people again died, the village aflame again. Nilthakir would not let the pain be eased. Suddenly, amidst Hunter's fury and hatred, Nilothakir appeared.[/i] [b]Nilothakir:[/b]Pathetic fool, my daughter is. I am glad she cannot fully stem the pain, though she will not return to her original self until I am destroyed. But to prevent that...SOUL MERGE! [i]As Hunter's fury was unperturbed, and his heart filled with hatred, Nilothakir could merge with him easily. Together, they became Cerdian, Devourer of Dimensions. Only Mara could ease the fury permanently, and somehow tear Serenol out from Nilothakir...[/i][/color]

[color=teal][i]The pain of it caused Blaze to wince. Lacroix and Alastuin had each other, and Eve and Ilythiirtar were closer than they pretended to be. Blaze suddenly fell to thr ground completely, unable to stem the flow of tears. He got up, looked into the horizon and yelled at the sky...[/i] [b]Blaze:[/b]CURSE THIS LOVELESS EXISTENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/color]

[color=teal][i]Sonic winced as he thought of what he had to do...[/i] [b]Sonic:[/b]Ah, DAMN! [i]Sonic began to give Shadow mouth-to-mouth JUST as Shadow woke up.[/i] [b]Shadow:[/b]STOP RIGHT THERE![/color]

[color=teal][i]Sonic stopped, kowing the power of the silver hedgehog. He decided to try to invoke something he had never done before. He turned and ran towards Angel Island. When he got there, Knuckles was gone, but Vector and Mighty Bee were left spinning as Sonic dashed right through them. He placed his hands on the Master Emerald, invoking the chaos control...[/i] [b]Sonic:[/b]CHAOS....CONTROL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [i]Suddenly, he found himself on the Egg Carrier, in front of Nitro and Eggman...[/i][/color]

[color=teal][i]Blaze stared at the ex-Umbrella officer, then lifted his Mp5 and blasted open the head of the dog that was on Drake. He fired the last of the Browning's rounds into the three dogs around James, unfortunatley killing only one. Drake got up and retrieved his ax, then he grabbed his side-arm. Blaze watched the Umbrella guy jump in, then vomit at the sight of the dead special-ops team. Blaze got a radio from Leon again.[/i] [b]Leon:[/b]Blaze, Jubei. I have some news for you, if your both still alive. [b]Blaze:[/b]What is it, chief? We've got zombies, but what is it? [b]Leon:[/b]Both of you have made it to the S.T.A.R.S. team. You are now members of the special-ops section of RCPD. Now kill those zombies and get back to HQ! Leon out! [b]Drake:[/b]So NOW we get some special ops guys. If the special ops team is you two, I think we're dead.[/color]

[color=teal][i]When Sonic and Shadow reached Station Square, Sonic had a few things to show Shadow. First, he led him to a chili dog stand. Together, they cleaned out two of them. Sonic's wallet feeling considerably lighter, he led Shadow to his pad, where he introduced him to video games and music. Shadow merely wanted more chili dogs and more games. Sonic loved the competition, but something was gonna happen. Sonic and Shadow could both feel it...[/i][/color]

[color=teal][i]Hunter sat on the roof of the burning hut. Some trace of evil within his soul manifested itself in his body. His eyes began to glow red in the fire that lit the night, and he let out a cruel laugh. He jumped from the roof, mangling the town elder. He noticed a shape running through the flames at him. Artea. Before he knew what he was doing, Artea had a slash across her draconic side. She crept away, into the Forest of Time, to search for Mara...[/i][/color]

Grr.....I WRITE WHAT I KNOW, DAMMIT! ALL I KNOW IS PAIN, GUILT, SADNESS, AND LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[color=crimson][i]Zero looked back into his memory, remembering that he'd forgotten to finish the ape off. He called the whole group back to base, the battle over and the Mavericks retreating. Zero looked over at the sleeping Iris, then looked at his armor. As he climbed back into the bed, Iris rolled around and ptu her arm around him. Zero wrapped his arm around her, then fell asleep. Zero awoke, breakfast on his mind. He ran into the kitchen of his private living quarters cell, finding the whole Zero Unit there. When he sat down, Iris served him his eggs and bacon. Everybody began catcalling until Roll, the person that had programmed the ZUBC, walked in and kissed X on the cheek. Then everybody, including Zero, fell off of their chairs laughing. Even Dr. Light needed to be helped up fromk the floor. When breakfast was over, it was time to invade Vile Isle.[/i] [b]Iris:[/b]...Good luck Zero...and please come back alive! [b]Roll:[/b]The same goes for you, X! [b]Zero and X:[/b]We will, we will![/color]

[color=teal][i]Hunter awoke, but without Serenol's sentience to guide him. The man-wolf was driven by blood-lust, the blood of the living. He was in the forest, and he ran off, towards a small village three days north of Ashrenia. As he ran through the village, he dismembered, bit, and ate people, anyone who came near. The loss of his wife had killed the part of him that held back the rage, the insanity. Mara was the only one that had kept him sane. Now, he sat in the midst of a village, now set on fire by the villagers that thought fire would work on the rampaging werewolf. All the while, the only thought in Hunter's mind was somehow about a lovely woman he'd lost, even though the insanity kept most thoughts from his mind. All he saw was blood, all he tasted was flesh, and all he knew was hunger. With Mara gone, his howls would pierce the night, his fangs would remain stained with innocent blood, and the Serenol within him would sleep. Only she could return his sanity, but she was nowhere near her lovr...damning him to a living Hell...[/i][/color] ------------------------------------------------------------- OOC:Okay, everybody. I decided to put up a HUGE twist. I'm a boss. Whenever the party decides to follow the trail of screams, you'll meet up with me, but you'll have to fight me.

[color=teal][i]Blaze noticed where they were, and saw his Mp5 and FiveSeven in the corner, inside of his gym bag. He dashed towards it, pulling out his fire-ax and swinging it into the dog that had tried to stop him. He also picked up a 12 guage shotgun, and a g3. He used the Mp5 to great affect, taking out two dogs. Ryowa beat one down with his bat, but was having trouble. Blaze reached into the gym bag and pulled out a 3-foot long kitana. He tossed it Ryowa.[/i] [b]Jubei:[/b]Damn! I don't think ANY of those are standard issue! [b]Blaze:[/b]Nope. I stopped at Kendo's gun shop earlier. I was delivering some weapons to his brother, but I had to get my check-up. And keep the bat, though, Ryowa! It WILL come in handy. [b]Jubei:[/b]Well, did you get the gun Kendo designed? [b]Blaze:[/b]Samurai Edge? Here you go! [i]Blaze reached into the side pouch and pulled out an extremely powerful pistol, called the Samurai Edge. Jubei put it in the holster, took out two dogs, and watched Ryowa kill the dog with the kitana. Blaze saw James cornered by three of the dogs...[/i][/color]

[color=teal]Lost in an endless void, I quest for that which I need. The girl my affections with had toyed. Her arms open, her frame like a reed She fell away one fateful day, Never knowing the shock of it. All I had were demons to slay, And a broken set of teeth to grit. My heart shut down, My mind a-clutter. All I did was in my pain drown, And stand right there and stutter. I ran away from all the fear, A shirt missing and my chest a mess of blood. In an instant she ripped what I held dear, And sent me crashing with an almighty "thud". I sealed away every emotion, My heart a solid wall of steel. I took no more of any notion. No longer would my love be real! She softened my steel, broke my rock. The kiss saved my life and my heart did heal. She took me once around the block. When we returned, she found the softness in the steel...[/color]

[color=teal]I'll join, just tell me what you need, man. As long as I'm Duo Maxwell, I'm fine. Deathscythe just plain rox. Not to mention the braid on Duo.[/color]

[color=crimson][i]Zero trudged back into HQ, stumbling heavily. Iris squealed in horror as her lover crashed, systematically, to the floor. Doctor Light walked over, putting him in a rejuv capsule. Zero slept, old dreams haunting him...[/i] [b]Dream Sequence[/b] [b]Sigma:[/b]Why Zero? He's the last of the doc..tor's...cre..ation..s. [b]X:[/b]But will I become one, Zero? [b]Iris:[/b]In the end, I'll always love you, my dearest Zero. What was your real name, Zero? I've always been Iris. [b]Zero(to Wily, not Iris):[/b]I am Blaze Striker. I will destroy you Wily! [b]Wily:[/b]You will be my ultimate creation for the death of MegaMan! [b]End sequence[/b] [i]Zero awoke in Iris' bed, his armor on the chair. His clothes, too, were on the chair. He looked at the shape next to him. Iris. Zero's arm, the only truly robotic thing about him, was wrapped in the organic flesh that Doctor Light had developed. He rushed to the window in a pair of jeans. Outside, the battle was still on. But he couldn't leave. He'd command the unit from inside...[/i][/color]

[color=teal][i]Hunter awoke in the middle of the night, his arms empty. When he realized the note, he fell down again. His eyes had an angry glow within them...[/i] [b]Hunter:[/b]You always were worthy of me. It was I who was unworthy of you... [i]He cried out in a fiery rage, let the insanity within him take over, and dashed with the speed of his Pegasus Boots to Nilothakir's tower. The black mage was waiting.[/i] [b]Hunter(slashing into Nilo's side):[/b]Why can't you let me live a peaceful life?!? You killed my mother (slash), my father (slash), and now you are tearing my wife from me (REALLY big slash)! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!! [b]Nilothakir:[/b]No, you fool! You are the object of distortion! You are a plague to me! DEJINIR! [i]The attack that had killed his mother now affected him. The oxygen was sucked from the air around him, just enough to torture his air-starved lungs. His body was lifted, and 100,000 volts of electricity surged through his body. Nilothakir smiled grimly as Hunter's smoking form fell to the ground. The smirk dissapeared in an instant, though, as Hunter staggered back up, coughing blood. He had withstood Nilothakir's strongest attack. Nilothakir decided to put off their fated meeting for a while...[/i] [b]Nilothakir(vanishing away):[/b]Until we meet again! [i]Hunter walked into Ashrenia, barely alive. He collapsed, unconscious, near the city limits.[/i][/color]
