The Ultimate Organization III

Tyre was waiting outside. "Um..." he said. "This could be interesting."

 

"So, what's the plan?" Xane asked.

 

The Virus slammed them out of the cave, nearly colliding with Tyre as it coalesced into a humanoid form.

Tyre drew his sword. "Um...hello?"

The Virus said nothing, but the forest around Tyre erupted in black sand, thrusting itself toward Tyre. Tyre smiled.

"Then let's dance," he said, and twisted, slicing the black sand into dull edges which he dodged around, before hopping over the sea of black sand and slicing down at the Virus.

The Virus sunk into itself, collapsing around his sword, then slamming into him as a stream of sand that sent him flying backwards, slamming him through a tree and into the ground, where it proceeded to dig him a shallow grave.

Tyre coughed and fell unconscious.

About this time, Tera Roth, dripping wet, arrived on the scene.

"The plan, Xane," Tera Roth said, "is to try not to die."

 

"Were you swimming here?" Xane asked. "And where's that maniac, Highwind?" Xane asked, jumping out of the range of the Virus' swipes.

 

"I had to get here somehow," Tera Roth said, blocking a blow from the Virus and sending a blast of twilight that ripped the sand apart. The Virus reeled back, obviously hurt.

"So we can hurt it," Tera Roth said. "That's good. I was worried there."

A blast of sand hit him from below, knocking him back into a tree. He wiped his mouth. "Ouch. Anyway, Highwind's keeping an eye on the Ulfire guards, who are keeping an eye on you. We need to finish this quickly, before they try to get involved."

 

"What am I gonna do?" Xane asked. "I don't shoot twilight blasts from my hands."

 

Wing threw up a wind shield around everyone to give them a speed boost, and let them jump higher, he then threw up a Wind barrier system that contained everyone and the virus, it had nowhere to run. He took Tera Roths plan and began to shoot the black sand with speeding twilight.


"Vecked! I need you to use your flame! Elemental magic will damage it!"

 

The Virus reeled back, shuddering. Then it sank into the ground.

Pillars of sand began attacking randomly at the members, blasting them before they could hit back.

"We have to stop it from shape-shifting," Tera Roth yelled. "I'll be right back!" He ran off.

 

Wing dodged most of the pillar attacks, but when he dodged left, another pillar caught him mid-dodge, sending him flying head first into the hard earth below. He lifted himself up on his knees and held his throbbing, bleeding head in his hands. his left eye was full of blood, blinding him temporarily.

"this thing...i swear..." he said, his headache growing more intense with every second.

 

OOC: I finally found the (almost) perfect theme song for Xardius:

Lyrics are on the side...

BIC: Tera Roth rushed back with a device in hand. He pointed it at the Virus, and flicked it on.

"Enigma was right," Tera Roth said. "The Virus operates through wave frequencies to tell itself how to change form. Well then, to scramble the frequency..."

He twisted the dial and pressed a switch.

The Virus exploded into a cloud of black sand, forming into a humanoid figure with its hands on its head, but it couldn't hold the form for long. Parts of it kept disintegrating, and the Virus shrieked wordlessly.

"Hit it with everything you've got right now!" Tera Roth yelled, pulling on all of his formidable power as a twilight user. The air around him grew stagnant, and then he released the energy, blasting it into the Virus...

 

Wing followed suite from his knees, he couldn't stand up just yet. He blasted the creature with twilight rivaling that of Tera Roths, as student and teacher worked together to defeat a common enemy...but Wing had surpassed Tera Roth now...and it was for the better. Wing was the Guardian now, he needed to be the strongest Twilight user.

"Finish it now!" He said looking at vecked and the others

 

OOC: Hmm, what to do now? We need Nulix, and Pirate, at least. Akua would be nice to have around...

Maybe I'll just do it for them...

BIC: Xane channeled a blast of energy into his fists and punched forward, Vecked's flame hit the Virus like billions of needles, and Akua sent a light beam the size of a redwood tree into the Virus.

The Virus cried out and exploded. Something dropped to the ground, pulsating slightly.

Tera Roth stepped up to it, and picked it up. "So we didn't kill it..."

 

"Of course not..." Wing said, limping over to Tera Roth.

"Its a virus, so we'd need something just as powerful f not more powerful to overtake and neutralize it. We can only cause it to go dormant..."


He took a few deep breaths, the twilight coursing through his body began to work on healing his wounds...but it was a slow process seeing as how he's hit his head.

 

"Like Xardius," Tera Roth sighed. "Well, we're at the most dangerous stage right now. The Ulfire will undoubtedly know that we have neutralized the Virus, at least for the moment, so they're going to try and steal it. We can't do anything to them lest we start another major world crisis. So I'm going to leave this with you," he said, handing it to Wing. "It's cloaking in twilight and it appears as if I still have the Virus. It won't fool anyone within 15 feet, since I'm tired, but it will keep the Ulfire men off your trail long enough for you to lose them."

He kicked Tyre in the head, who stopped snoring and woke up. "Tyre, you stay with them and make sure that Virus gets destroyed."

Tyre nodded sheepishly.

"I'll see you all later," Tera Roth said, trotting off through the viral trees.

 

Wing held on to the cloaked virus and began searching for xardius. once his twilight had located him Wing levitated and flew off in his direction, finding him back at the janitors house.

"Destroy it!" He said holding out the dormant Virus.

 

OOC: Did you get Nulix's PM Wing?

BIC: "No," Xardius said, walking away. "I'm not in the mood."

He paused. "I'll meet up with you guys later, but, just a warning: the Virus is restoring itself, and it won't remain dormant forever. You'll have to find a way to destroy it other than me."

Xardius didn't want to vocalize the fact that he was not really sure what would happen if he tried to destroy the Virus. After all, it would take a tremendous amount of power to do it, and Xardius wanted to use his power.

That hadn't happened in a long time, and the last time it had, Xardius had nearly killed everyone...His lust for battle was twice as bad now, partly because of the Wraith, and partly because of feeling Vecked's power. He wanted to test it out...

But he was more afraid of the consequences. So he was refusing to use his power until he could bring himself under control.

He was sure Wing could probably tell all that from a glance.

 

OOC: Yeah i got it, i'll forward you my reply.


BIC: Wing stood there, anger growing. "Xardius! You have too! You wont kill me with your power surge, you know that. He opened a large portal taking them both into the Twilight realm.

"Now you have no reason to not want to destroy this. I know Vecked is different, I can feel it now. He feels like you. You two are the same type of being now. YOu cant let him best you, prove your might and show him you will not be defeated!"


Wing pleaded with His old friend, the Virus needed to be stopped, and before it woke up again. Xardius was the only one with that power...unlocked at least. Wing could feel it surge within him, ready to be awoken, but not yet mature enough to be. Soon though...very soon.

"Please Xardius...do it for them...protect our friends!"

 

Xardius shook his head. "Don't you get it? I can't do that! This isn't a power surge! It's just me! I won't be able to just get over it!"

He clenched his fists. "I have to control it before I can use it!"

The twilight shimmered and became the dark woman again. "He's right, Wing. He can't use me until he can control me. There are unthinkable consequences: he could burn himself out, he could annihilate this entire realm, and, yes, he could kill you. You'll have to wait."

 

Nulix came out from the rock he was hiding under. "Wheres the Virus at?" He asked. "What happened?"

 

Wing looked away from the woman and pulled himself and Xardius from the realm, they stood back in front of the janitors house now.

"Alright, do what you need to do. But dont isolate me Xardius. We've been through it all...we've been around a long time...dont think i cant tell when you hide things from me. Please, lend me a crystal...maybe it cant contain the virus long enough for you to gain control."
