OOC: Well, I didn't know that; now I do. I did do something about that (unintentionally, I think), I just forgot... BIC: A small ship zoomed out of nowhere, hovering close to the platform. Xardius walked over to it. "Unfortunately," Xardius said, watching Scourge fight Wing and Vecked. "I can't cut loose here. We'll have to get inside the portal first. So I suggest we run up to the ship Skinnar stole, jump through the portal, and see if we can't get Scourge to follow us. He seems angry enough." "You guys get in, I'll distract Scourge then jump in last minute," Xardius said. "Got it? Hurry!" Xardius leaped forward from the ship, pulling his sword out and slamming into the battle like a whirlwind of death, disconnecting both Wing and Vecked from the fight and taking the full brunt of Scourge's attacks within a matter of seconds, utilizing the best swordsmanship he'd ever pulled out of his bag of tricks and all his prior knowledge of Scourge's attack patterns. Scourge didn't seem shocked at all to see Xardius, but a snarl rippled itself onto his face as he tried to move faster than before. Xardius kept up, slashing through Scourge's attacks like static lightning. "Get to the ship, you two! We're getting out of here!" "You're NOT LEAVING!" Scourge howled, pushing forward with all his might, but Xardius stood firm, blasting all of it back at Scourge with equal ferocity and determination. "Hurry!" Xardius yelled, pushing Scourge back with a flurry of blows. "I can't hold him off forever!"
OOC: The portal, Nulix, aren't we going to go through the portal? That's where I was planning the finale with Scourge...
OOC: I'm really just buying time with Scourge's fight for Nulix to do the Virus stuff. But Nulix doesn't seem to want to post... BIC: Xardius shrugged. "Whatever then."
Xardius' fingers closed on the top of the building, and he slowly dragged himself up, gasping for breath. "Climbing a castle is not as easy as it looks," he panted, "but thanks for the help guys..." Struggling to his feet, he pointed at the group standing to the side. "I told you, Xane, you can use that crystal I gave you to fight alongside us," Xardius sighed. "If you guys want, I can give you, Bella, and Mellodia, one as well so you can fight too. I don't want anyone to feel like they're a third wheel here..." OOC: Seriously...
Yayz for Hidden being around again! I missed you! (Since you're practically the only sane person on here; OK, really the only person insane is...
OOC: Well, OK, gotta go to Scouts' soon, so if any of you get online while I'm still here, yippee...
OOC: It doesn't matter; don't strain yourself...
OOC: Well, he could throw down some rope or something... Make Xane use his brain! It rhymes!
OOC: Pirate, we're on the roof! Have you ever heard of an indoors roof!? Lol
OOC: You could help Xardius up the building. I mean, I really can't post anything without Nulix or Wing either... I could, I guess, but it would be meaningless. Or just redundant.
OOC: Besides me? I don't think so... Sad fact of life.
OOC: ....I'm stunned Jaxed. You got Scourge right on...and managed to make it funny too... Extra thumbs up! Man, I think that was one of your best posts ever... probably in the top 5. (But maybe I'm biased).
OOC: I PMed him and gave him the rundown. We'll see him in Season 7! Scourge hit Vecked in the chin with a palm as he released his sword to flip it off his knee, connecting it with his other sword as he spun it to deflect Wing's attacks. "Pay attention, children," Scourge growled, as he lashed out at Wing's legs whilst simultaneously stabbing backwards at Vecked, disconnecting his swords again as he did so.
The bum pushed himself to his feet and slowly limped away, holding his chest as he did before collapsing to the ground again and not moving, the cigarette hitting his clothes and igniting the dry material slowly but surely...
The bum nodded thanks to Nulix, then slowly shuffled past, pickpocketing Nulix's wallet as he did...
OOC: Don't have self-esteem problems do you... Well, you have anything BIC to post...?
OOC: Anything else you want to get off your chest Nulix?
OOC: Sorry I'm late, I was finishing chores. BIC: Scourge's swords spun as he beat a blazing pattern against both Wing and Vecked at once, his swords clicking together at the handles as he flipped over, transforming his dual swords in and out of swallow-format (a swallow being a long-handled weapon with two alternately facing blades). Despite this, Scourge seemed a little ragged, having to correct over-extensions or swings that weren't perfectly in alignment... *** Xardius continued climbing, nearing the top...
"You fool," Scourge muttered. "My creator's in my head, and he won't shut up..." Scourge's hands clenched tighter on the sword handles, so hard blood began welling from his hands to drip onto the ground. "When you say 'us all,'" Scourge growled, his eyes burning with uncontrollable rage and insanity, "I don't suppose you really mean everyone... When you say 'angels', to whom are you referring? It's people like you that really piss me off... You don't think about anything other than who needs to die!" Power roared into Scourge, wings spreading behind him in gold and red glory. Scourge's hair raised above his head, waving as if flame itself, his eyes turning blood red, smoke and fire pouring from his wings. "What is darkness! What is light! What makes you so much better than me! I've killed, you've killed, we've all killed, and how can you justify any of it? You're all just like me, but you won't acknowledge it!" Scourge roared. "So come on then, you pathetic Ultimate Organization! Kill me too, and I'll haunt you to the end of your miserable days!" Laughing maniacally, Scourge rushed forward, swords spinning at Wing... *** Xardius fell to the ground, his limbs spasming, muscles jerking uncontrollably. "Ah, what...what's happening?" The woman moaned, her image flickering in and out, and blood running from her nose. "Something's wrong...ugh, it hurts..." The woman huddled into a little ball, slowly disappearing. Xardius' eyes bulged as pain arched his back to the point of breaking. "I've never been blown to ashes before..." He gritted through his teeth. "Must be some reaction to total regeneration..." "I'm sorry," the woman coughed. "But..." Screaming, she disappeared completely, and Xardius felt his consciousness slipping away. "I refuse!" Xardius roared, slamming his fist into the ground repeatedly. "I will not let anything win! Get out here NOW!" The woman seemed wrenched from some other phase as Xardius pulled himself to his feet, his fingers digging trenches in the building wall, leaving bloody smears that healed on his fingers as soon as they were created. "What did you do?" the woman asked, wide-eyed. "I can't feel anything of me." "I've entered my final form," Xardius growled. "It's all or nothing, and either way, this battle will be my last with you." "What!?" the woman gasped. "You're giving me up!? You can't...! You'll die!" "Then it's about bloody time!" Xardius snapped. "Get a hold of yourself! I'm going back up there!" The woman nodded, wiping tears from her face as Xardius began climbing once again... OOC: I think Scourge finally snapped...
Well, let's see: it was 10:30 when you sent me that visitor message, and it's 2:30 now... I normally get on about 7:00 to 8:00 and stay on for...
