The Ultimate Organization III

Novice spun his nunchaku. An electric current shot around them, dissipating the fluid. As Novice ran closer to Azull, he striked with his nunchaku, rapidly. Each hit brought Azull pain and each hit brought back an early memory.

"Let's see how you're past went, huh?" Novice grunted as a blue light swirled around the world and Azull's memories were visible to all in the vicinity.

 

Azull shuddered as the memories ran into him like a freight train.

"Thundaja!" he roared, striking the earth and ripping it up, slicing through the memories with ten thousand volts.

"Stay out of my head," Azull growled, slicing his hand through the air and buzzing wind slices at Novice...

 

"Sorry it's what I do," Novice said. "Anyone's mind is an open door to their past. Including yours. What do you have trapped in there? Secret information on the Brotherhood? Worse?"

Novice continued his strike by driving his knee into Azull's forehead, taking most of the wind slices head on.

 

The wind slices ripped open slices along Novice's back and shoulders, as Azull reeled from the blow and blew a desperate Firaja into Novice's face.

 

The flames raced toward Novice, but he was relentless. His fist shot through the flames to connect with Azull's neck.

 

Azull choked and disappeared.

"So, this is how you're going to kill me, is it?" Azull asked. "Beat me to death...?"

 

"That was the plan," Novice shrugged. "Why? Hoping to go out with a bang? Okay..."

Azull's memories flashed back into everyone's minds, before Novice coughed, " I'll just flip through and see what makes you tick...And if you're worth letting live"

 

"I just prefer a clean death to slowly having my body beaten down to where it can't function by some overly-muscled moron," Azull said, reappearing some distance from Novice.

"So, shall we...?" Azull asked. "I'm going to take you with me...and survive of course."

Rushing at Novice, Azull's final sphere rammed headlong into Novice as Azull crashed into the man.

"There's a reason only Xardius Lionheart dares utter this spell," Azull smiled slightly as the tendrils wrapped around them both, tying them together. "And that's because only he can survive it."

"So...Chaotic...Ultimagum," Azull said, and the life detonated.

 

Novice frowned. "You really sicken me you know that?" Novice snarled. "I have nothing more to gain from you. If we're both going to go out, then I'll make sure you die first," Novice looked up pulling his arm free and one of his nunchaku with it. He slashed it rapidly across Azull's neck. Blood leaked out.

Xane was teleported a vast distance away, being contained in a blue sphere. It was Novice's power that kept him safe for the time being.

 

"Orders are orders," Azull said. "And I was ordered to die."

Chaotic Ultimagum shredded Azull in half and launched itself towards Novice...

OOC: There's an easy way out of this.

 

OOC: Do I have to take the easy way out, though?? I figure it's an illusion, but does it half to be? Meh...


BIC: Novice prepared himself for the Chaotic Ultimagum, takinng on a part of the the blast, before realizing Azull's illusion abilities. Despite being in the midst of getting hit by the Ultimagum, Novice thought of it not existing at all.

 

Enigma was suddenly there, his hand out, smashing back the tide of destruction and deflecting it into the air, where it imploded.

Quickly wrapping his hand, Enigma turned to Novice.

"I suppose you've never heard of Azull's magical abilities," Enigma said. "Not everything was an illusion for him..."

"Novice, I officially discharge you from the Brotherhood," Enigma said. "On accounts of treason. Look out for Kardas, all right?"

And with that, Enigma disappeared again.

EDIT OOC: That's that. I won't be late tomorrow if you get on.

 

OOC: Huh. That's pretty interesting...It kind of changes my plans, but...Aw, whatever! I'll go with 'em anyway!


BIC:Novice lay on the ground, blood dripping from his head to his back. Discharge him from the Brotherhood? For treason? What had he gotten himself into when he joined them? What had he thought they would accomplish? He tried to sit up, but he could hardly feel anything in his legs.

Xane wandered back up to Novice as the force field disappeared.

"Was that Enigma? What the hell happened?" Xane asked.


"Discharged from the Brotherhood," Novice explained. "Treason."

"You betrayed them?" Xane asked. "Why?"


"I don't know. I thought I was helping you all out," Novice coughed. "Eliminating Azull. Maybe I've just grown too distant from Scourge and the Brotherhood....And I did owe you one."

"When was that?" Xane asked.


"You're were too young then to remember," Novice explained. "You'll find out one day. If he's still alive, tell my brother, I'm sorry...And give him these," Novice said, handing over the nunchaku, before looking up towards the sky."I've...repaid the debt. Xane...you should leave."

"The ship..." Xane started.

"How do you think I got here?" Novice asked. "I took a ship. Find it it's open. Go, Xane. And live and die by your honor to yourself and to your family. THe Ultimate Organization."


Xane nodded, and ran back to the ship, nunchaku in hand, occasionally looking back at Novice. Soon the other members on the world would catch up with him.

Novice meanwhile, sat with his dying breaths and remembered what Enigma said: "Look out for Kardas, alright?" He'd then heard giant clunking foot steps. Novice managed to drag himself over to the remains of Azull's castle and pulled himself against the crumbled wall. He then stared at the direction of the footsteps, cracked his knuckles and mutteredd, "What're you waiting for you fat bas**ard?"

 

OOC: I am very very sorry. I just got home. So we'll have to finish this tomorrow, and hopefully Nulix will be on, or I'll be angry...because I need him...Maybe I'll just do it anyway...

BIC: Kardas stood, drooling. "Well, well, if it isn't an injured Novice..."

OOC: I'm thinking...not yet...

 

OOC: Yeah, I'm not going to be on for much longer either. But Novice is pretty much done. I guess I can at least give him,two or three days left, though...

 

Wing walked the city streets alone, his hood covering his eyes as to keep out the lightly falling rain. He had been distancing himself from the others for quite sometime, well ever sense Crissilia (who had left, leaving behind a short note) told him he was pretty much a dead man after the Brotherhood was defeated. He brought his shaking hand to his head and shook his head, a small sad smile crossing his lips.


"So many things I had planned on doing...so many friends I wanted to find. I wanted so badly to see her...and tell her I love her with all my heart."

He placed his free hand against the brick wall beside him before pressing his back against it and slumping down, his legs pulled to his chest.


"When darkness turns to light, it ends tonight...Wow, a simple song lyric explains my whole life situation."

He laughed slightly at the joke he made. The rain started to fall harder. A car drove by and slowed down both as not to slash wing with water and to see if he needed medical attention. He flashed the driver a smile, letting him know that he was okay. The driver waved and drove off into the rainy night, the red tail lights illuminating everything behind the car's path.

 

OOC: Hey! Nulix is online!

 

The Dark Midgar soldiers watched as their mayor was beaten to the ground. Niles Skinnar, now W-R-W Unit Leader Skinnar, watched as the mayor pleaded for the soldiers to stop. The response was a fist to the face, the U.P.A. soldiers laughed at the poor man trying to defend himself. Niles just kept to himself. He couldn't stand these people, he couldn't stand the U.P.A. itself. He hated every one in it. The current Grand Hairis Analon Richards, son of the late Mantell Richards Jr, had officially sent the U.P.A. to war... not that it was entirely his doing. Analon was just a tool, a boy who was always the lesser son now on the mission to upstage his older brother, who was one of the U.P.A.'s biggest sponsors. Hairis Richards wasn't the smartest tool in the shed, not that he wasn't smart, just not a smart leader, easily manipulated in a panic.

And that's exactly what happened. Most of the sponsors and board members pressured the Hairis to go to war, and so he did, despite the U.P.A. elders disapproval. Niles never studied the situation deeply, but common knowledge among the U.P.A. officials was that Lexx Klüppel, twenty-nine year old Head of Public Resources, Head of Universal Media, and the youngest Secondary Board member in the company's history, was trying to manipulate the war so it looked good in the media so he could hype it with his quote Revolutionary quote Ultimate Organization marketing campaign. When the elders and the board and, most importantly, the sponsors saw how easily Lexx had turned the image of the attacks in Destiny Islands and the new war into a positive one, they were sure to give him a promotion, or at least a raise from Lexx's relatively puiny hundred twenty thousand Sora-munny per year.

Niles exhaled slowly, the steam from his breath visible in the cold fall air. Lexx was money hungry, but not cold blooded, not in anyway heartless. He was just an example of the types of people who were manipulating the Hairis for personal gain, and some of these people did it for far darker reasons then just money.

"Enough," Niles said to the two troops who were kicking the mayor to a pulp. "Enough," Niles repeated, pushing the two troops to the side. Niles knelt down beside the mayor. "Why are you doing this?" The mayor asked slowly, trying not to stutter from the blood in his mouth. Niles pulled a cigarette out and lit it in front of the mayors face, "Cause' you said, publicly, may I add... you said that the U.P.A. has no right to this war, that the Brotherhood can treat its people anyway it pleases... you said that, and that is dangerous talk..."

Niles exhaled smoke into the mayors face, "Its dangerous when someone with the power you have says things like that... your either with us or with them..."

"I'm with you! Please, god, I'm with you! Don't kill me, please!" The mayor pleaded, grabbing Niles' arm. "Get off me," Niles replied, elbowing the mayor in the face. "Finnish him," Niles said to the troops. One knelt down beside the mayor and held his head, while the other placed a pistol to it. Niles walked out of the mayors balcony to the indoor hallway, a loud bang heard behind him. His destination was the observational V deck, a large room at the top of skyscrapper city hall where the mayor made speeches to the public. Everything in the observational V deck was displayed on a 72x53 ft screen located on the front of the building.

Niles stretched slightly as he stood on the broadcast circle in the observation V deck. "Time to do this," he muttered, looking over his speech one more time before pressing down on the large green button on the wall beside him. The large metal door hiding the floor to ceiling window viewpoint suddenly raised, letting Niles see Dark Midgar's downtown. On the ground Niles face sprang to life on the buildings screen.

Niles looked out the viewpoint at the citizens watching him. They all looked like ants from up here, just... blobs of color. Their was a large multicolored blob in the middle of downtown's main street. Must be the citizens we gathered, Niles thought to himself. Then at the edges of the colored blob was a grey, white, and blue blob, almost ten times bigger then the colored one. And that's us...

Niles looked at the city and smiled. The U.P.A. was ridding the Dark Worlds of it's cancer, and he was in charge of curing a whole world. Niles smiled before reading his script that told the citizens all about their new world order.

Three Weeks Ago...

Supreme Captain Rentu Skinnar sat in Alfonso's Tea Hut in the same position he had been sitting for the last thirty minutes. Lexx had scheduled to meet him here. but was running late. Skinnar hated waiting, especially when the waitress and cashier kept on giving him weird looks. Skinnar had ordered the Makiatyo three times now, just to make it seem like he wasn't doing nothing. Skinnar sighed, pulling his phone out and looking at his chat log.

Chat ended at 7:46:09 PM.

Skinnar looked at his watch, "Three forty-nine," he muttered. "Rentu Skinnar!" Lexx said, taping Skinnar on the shoulder. Skinnar turned to face Lexx, who had crept up behind him. "Whats been keeping you?" Skinnar said with a smile. "Border crossing, different TZ zone from the Westford," Lexx explained, "Sorry, hope you didn't wait long."

"I did," Skinnar replied.

Lexx chuckled, "You'll survive though, right?" Skinnar smiled, "You know normally I'd be yelling at you for coming late..." Lexx raised an eyebrow, "Why ain't this normally?" he asked. "Lexicon! I've got news! I've got very big news!" Skinnar said. "Me too!" Lexx said, "Please me first..." Lexx pulled a blue envelope out of his black laptop case, "On behalf of the U.P.A.," Lexx started, his face serious, "I ask you, Rentu Skinnar, would you like to become... the grand general of our new world army?" Skinnar paused, the grin on his face slowly disappeared. "I think... maybe I should of stated my big news first... Lexx, Elela's pregnant."

Lexx started to smile, "Your wife?"

"Yes!" Skinnar said, grabbing Lexx's hand, "I'm going to be a father!"

Two and a Half Weeks Ago...

*******​

Niles Skinnar walked down the iconic U.P.A. main halls. The white and blue lines along the walls, the pictures of past Grand Hairis's on the doors, the pitch white lights. This had been Nile's first trip here, the U.P.A. main base, and although the agents walking up and down the halls paid little attention to Niles, he was here for the biggest mission of his life. Delivering the top secret production plans for the new war to the U.P.A. Grand Engineer. Niles walked down a few more halls until he reached the equipment room entrance. Ships, weapons, armor, all was designed and crafted here, right past the door in front of Niles. Niles took a quick breath, before opening the door. Niles glanced around him, silver and grey met his eyes in every direction, machines and computers scattered everywhere. "Who's there?" A distant voice greeted him.

"Niles Skinnar," Niles replied, "I'm here to give you the New War Requirements."

A stocky man walked out from behind a few of the large mechanical items, "About time... my teams been waiting for these all week," The man said, spitting slightly as he talked. Niles tried not to back away as the man came closer, "Yeah, here you go," Niles said, handing the man an envelope. The man grabbed the envelope and ripped it open, eager to see what was inside. After a minute or so of reading the man shook his head. "...They want me to create an army of Maxilos Ten-tens... Just the frames of the robots with moving legs and arms but no AI, just a hive mind..."

"An army of robots..." Niles said slowly, "That's amazing."

"No!" The man yelled, throwing the papers to the ground, "These robots are useless! A hive mind can't work well against fighters, citizens yeah, but no fighters!" Niles raised an eyebrow, "Why would they wants that?"

"This army will cost them less than a million," The man explained, "The Sora System Core Government will give the U.P.A. an annual war budget of one billion point seven munnys... I suspect someones about to leave this company a billion bucks richer."

*******​

"He declined?!" Richards yelled, a bulge clearly visable in his forehead. "I'm afraid so, my Hairis," Lexx replied, his head hung low. "But we need him!" Richards yelled. "We could use another..." A board member suggested. "No one else is at Skinnar's level at this point, you know that... we need to get him back," Richards said. "Why? With all due respect, my Hairis, it's his life to live," Lexx replied. Richards glanced at Lexx, "Lexicon, watch your mouth, we are at war, do you understand, I'm sorry if we upset your buddies fragile little life... we need some kind of lure... anything he cares about still in the U.P.A.? Any really close friends about to risk their lives? Family?"

"Searching the databanks, my Hairis," An agent said in the corner of the dark room, "... here we go, Niles Skinnar."

"Who?" The whole boardroom asked in almost perfect harmony. "Rentu's brother... a former knight who was recently laid off, wanting to go back into the military he signed up for the U.P.A., landed a job as a delivery boy..." The agent explained.

"Does he know about Rentu Skinnar?" Richards asked.

"I don't know, my Hairis." The agent replied.

"Does Rentu know about him?"

"I can safely say no, my Hairis."

Richards smiled, "Lets promote him..."

"To what?" Lexx asked.

"...W-R-W Unit Leader," Richards replied.

"Are you serious, my Hairis? A delivery boy in charge of a War Realm World? Thats impossible to justify!" Lexx yelled.

"Justify to who?" Richards asked, knowing that he had just deflated anything Lexx could come up with. "...Good point, my Hairis..." Lexx replied, "then I guess... this is finalized, Niles Skinnar... get ready for a promotion."

*******

The Current...

*******​

Rentu Skinnar dropped his tea cup, it crashed to the ground, shattering into millions of pieces while Skinnar stood still. Fourteenth name from the top of the list, Niles Skinnar, W-R-W Unit Leader for Dark Midgar, his long lost brother, fighting in the one war Skinnar stayed out of...
