BZPower Battles

Zev: *Shrugs* I dunno.

...

Namah: *Sighs* You don't even have an educated guess?

Zev: Well, if you're asking for what I'd guess would happen, from what I know about Hollows and Dying Will Flame Rings, it prolly would not go well...Dying Will Flames are effectively a hyper-purified excess life force. While your life force aura is normally invisible, Flames are visible because of how pure and condensed they are.

*He sighs heavily*

Zev: ...Anyways, the point is, all living creatures - Living creatures - Can generate Dying Will Flames when their emotions, desire to protect what's important to them, and life force are at full-force, and they nearly die or actually do bite it. Thus, 'Dying Will Flames'. However, some are able to draw out and purify their own life force without that...As well, the rings greatly aid that process. Remember the 'living' part?

*Grinning, he pauses for a few moments*

Zev: In case it didn't sink in, Hollows have no actual life force. They have 'spiritual pressure', but that isn't the same...If a Hollow were to try and use a ring, it might try to draw out a Dying Will Flame. Doing so and failing, the results could be catastrophic. So, if regular Ynot and Hollow Ynot haven't paid attention during class, take this as a warning: I saw a powerful lich, a ruler of the undead, once try to use a Dying Will Flame Ring. It went Hiroshima on his @ss.

...

Zev: *Starts jabbing Praepositus in the face with chisel again* Do you know any good jokes? I bet you do~

Chrome: *Still looks to be fretting over the shot heard earlier*

*Meanwhile...*

*A certain someone has busted into the mess hall and raided the cabinets*

Wekiga: *Sips a cup of tea* ...That's the stuff.

*He chuckles, slowly relaxing...*

Ynot: Hear the HY, no using the ring.

*Part of Ynot's face is covered by the Bone Mask, his eye inverting*

HY: But...I LIKE IT when things go Hiroshima!

Ynot: Yes, well, you do realize that would mean the death of me, ie you?

HY: You're no fun, you know that?

Ynot: Indubitably.

*Stands and walk over to Zev*

Ynot: So, how do I use this thing? I mean, granted, I could just walk around with it til I figure it out, but something tells me you'd rather tell me...and hide something else about it

Zev: *Chuckles...*

Namah: *Watches calmly* Zev...If you get Ynot hurt, I'll punish you personally for it.

*A visible shiver goes up and down Zev's form*

Zev: ...Ah. Very well. *Smiles to Ynot, calm again* I've found you to possess the red Dying Will Flame - The Storm Flame...Tempesta. Individuals of the Storm Flame are characteristically hot-headed and impatient for situations they don't favor...However, they are also incredibly loyal, and very intelligent thinkers.

*He gestures to Ynot's ring*

Zev: Fedele - Leone di Tempesta - Is no different, really. He's temperamental and impatient for squeamish owners...Not to mention, he's highly intelligent. As you may know, the most intelligent animals give the greatest rewards to train - However, they can also be the most difficult to train in the first place. You have to be gentle, but you also have to show him you mean business - If you don't consider his feelings, he won't respond. Alternatively, if you back down to his challenges, you'll never get anywhere with him.

*The metalworker smiles encouragingly*

Zev: ...Just remember, though: Once you've earned his trust, Fedele will never betray your trust. Oh, wait a minute. *Whips out a long strip of measuring tape*

*He proceeds to wrap it around Shroom's waist, inspecting the numbers*

Zev: Hmmm... *Does the same to Moss' left arm* ...Yes. *Scuttles away* ...Perfect, perfect...

Namah: ...Zev. Are you scheming something?

Zev: Yes.

...

Namah: *Sighs* Whatever. Just...Whatever.

Zev: By the way, Ynot - *Turns back to the Makuta of Metal* ...Cambio Forma was mentioned; G.'s Archery. It's not too different from the way you synchronize with a zanpakuto...But you'll have to get Fedele's full trust before you can use it. Then, I'd advise you create something wholly unique - Like the current Storm Guardian. *Giggles to self* ...Boom goes the dynamite, with that one...Murun~fufufufu~!

*He suddenly twitches, looking off to the left*

Zev: ...Hmmm...Someone pissy this way comes. Murun~fufufuuu... *Smiles*

...

*Meanwhile, a simple, wide-winged, triangular-shaped, black and orange ship approaches; adorning the bridge is this symbol: *


*On either side of the ship are printed in gold: VARIA*

*Inside, several figures sit in the dark*

*One figure with an apparent mohawk speaks giddily*

??? 1: Ooo~hohohoho~! It's been so long since we saw Zevvy~! I hope he's happy to see us! I know I'm happy to see him~!

*Another figure, smaller and with some kind of large, round shape around his head, speaks in a deadpan*

??? 2: Lussuria, you're always happy. When you spill coffee on yourself, you're happy. When you have pneumonia, you're happy. I bet you'll do a pirouette right into Armageddon.

Lussuria: Don't be that way, Li'l Fran~! I hear that cute little illusionist Chrome is with him~!

Fran: ... ... ...I don't care.

Lussuria: Awww~! You don't have to be shy, I know you have a crush on -

???: Both of you. Shut up.

*The two freeze, looking to the source of the voice - A tall man sitting in some kind of throne*

Fran: ...Sorry, Xanxus-sama.

Lussuria: *Much quieter* Yes...Do you want to take a nap?

Xanxus: Yes. Go do something where I can't hear you.

*Both pause a moment, before leaving without a word*

Xanxus: *Growls at the darkness* Raregroove...You'd better not think I've forgotten.

...

Zev: *Jabs Praepositus in the ribs with chisel* Do you know any dances?

Namah: *Sighs at Zev's antics* ...

Ynot: So, He will obey if trained...Hey guys, where do we do our training?

Asumaru: Is that a trick question?

Hokagetsu: Of course it is, you numbskull!

Ynot: It's settled then, after we drop off Blackout, We go to the Planet of the Beasts to meet my old Friend Gazelle

*Looks at Namah*

Ynot: I'd ask Zev, but he seems preoccupied with Praepositus, where's the most secure place to dump sour puss now that Impel Down is out of Commission?

*She looks at Ynot emotionlessly*

Namah: *Shrugs* I'd normally suggest Vendicare...But the Vendice only deal with Mafia-related matters. Until Blackout makes a direct affront to one of the Famiglias, they won't acknowledge any of his crimes.

*She suddenly flinches, looking out the window of the bridge*

Namah: ...I've got a bad feeling.

*D-Klak wakes up, and uses Force push on the knight*

DK: "Ugh..Great..."

*takes out hook blades*

---

*Just as Namah says "bad feeling", Uterio's ship appears out of a portal*

Ensign: "We're here!"

*Uterio teleports onboard, with Rahksha and another minion*

Uterio: "Finally, the Ironclad is within reach. Now, where is Blackout? I will take him to a prison far out of your hair."

*Rahksha points his lance at Praepositus*

Rahksha: "Change of plans. We're going after the Keruvim ourselves."

*All is silent*

Zev: *Has wandered over to Rahksha* Hullo~ *Prods Rahksha with chisel* Would you like to pay witness to my talents with the mouth organ?

Namah: *Eyes widen, blushing* Zev!!

Zev: *Whips out a harmonica* *Begins playing*

Namah: ... *Sighs*

Shroom: Ursakune...

Ursakune:*Looks over, tilting his head to the side* What is it?

Shroom: What were you before you merged spirits with my bear?

Ursakune: A being... That is great, very very great.

Shroom: A being that is great eh?

*Shroom and Ursakune look over to Moss, who is tying a bow with a vine around her leg, balancing on one foot*

Shroom: Couldn't you just use the bind spell?

Moss: *Falls flat on her face, loosing her balance*

Ursakune: *Sigh*

*The two wait for her to get up, but she stays on the floor, face down, her arms covering the sides of her face*

Ursakune: Asleep perhaps?

Shroom: I... Don't think so...

*Moss starts to shudder slightly*

*Uterio and Rahksha are suddenly surrounded by black knights*

Atrum Milites: Vos es iam nostrum captus. Trado vel intereo. (You are now our prisoners. Surrender or die.)

Zev: ... *Looks at Moss*

Namah: ...Zev...? *Keeps quiet*

Zev: *Scuttles over to Moss, kneeling down and gazing at her blankly* ... *Plays a short, sweet little song on harmonica*

Namah: *Watches silently, starting to blush at a...Feeling*

Zev: *Plays the song again*

*A noise can be heard within her arms, crying*

Shroom:*Quietly* Ohhh dear...

*The crying grows louder*

Namah: ... *Draws closer*

Zev: *Circles around, laying down beside Moss* What's wrong, Moss-chan...? *Gently runs fingers through her hair* ...If you dun wanna tell me, it's okay...Just let it out.

Namah: *Sits down on Moss' other side*

Zev: *Murmurs softly*

Ursaune: *Whispers to Shroom* Is it because she fell on her face?

Shroom: *Whispers back* No, remember when she was a little girl?

*Moss's crying quietens slightly, but she does not say anything*

*Shroom walks down to Zev and whispers into his ear*

Shroom: Uhhh... She had a very, very bad childhood, and she was probably reminded of it somehow...

*Moss stops crying just enough to say something*

Moss: it was...

Namah: *Applies a gentle hand to Moss' back*

Zev: *Continues gently stroking Moss' hair* Yes...? What was it, Moss-chan? If you don't want to talk, that's perfectly fine...But we're here for you. *Smiles gently* I'm here for anything you need.

*The two are careful not to upset her further*

*Shroom is largely ignored*

*The human ship fires and the whole ship is rocked visciously. Aeturnus is woken instantly.*

Aeturnus: Wha-!

*With no time to ready his gun, he simply grabs a bayonet and plunges it into the knight. He then reaches for his gun.*

*Shroom shrugs and goes back to Ursakune*

Moss: It was... When I w-was little...

*Shroom looks at her, his expression completely lax, frowning slightly*

Moss: I just... Remember...

*Moss goes back to crying*

Shroom: *Quietly* She needs sleep...

Ursakune: And have those nightmares? No, I don't think that is the best thing to do...

*Shroom starts playing with his hair*

OOS: Someone notify me when time catches up.

Zev: *Frowns at the ship's rocking* Namah...?

Namah: *Nods* You got it. *Looks over at him* Do you still have it?

Zev: Ahyup. *Tosses something at her, before going back to comforting Moss*

Namah: *Straps the object around her right wrist*

*It consists of a dark purple, semi-metallic strap, decorated with a circular purple gem with a silver, Roman numeral X across it. Supporting the gem is a silver disk-shaped plate engraved around the edges with the words: Una Nuvola è Sempre Libera. This plate has six small spikes around it, a chain hooked by the ends to two points on the bottom, and a tiny, wrought silver hedgehog*

Namah: Bracelet of the Clouds. Zev, help me out.

Zev: *Teleports Namah away*

...

Namah: *Arrives on the human ship* *In a cold voice* Do you know how to do nothing but shoot at things?

*A Dying Will Flame with a bright purple core and a pale purple, rippling surrounding aura emanates from her Bracelet of the Clouds*

Namah: Activate: Cloud Hedgehog, Roll.

*On her right shoulder materializes a tiny, cinnamon-brown hedgehog with soft, black-colored eyes and dark purple quills on its back*

Roll: Myughh... *Nuzzles against its master, frightened by all of the humans*

Namah: *Smiles reassuringly, rubbing its chin with her finger* It's okay...Don't be afraid...

Roll: Myuu~p? *Seems to calm down, before chirping excitedly* Myep! Myep!

Namah: Ahah! Save it for when it counts, okay?

Roll: *Nods to her* Mye~p, mye~p!

Namah: *Looks back to the humans, frowning dangerously* Are you fools going to stop the shooting, or will I have to teach you a lesson?

*Her tail arches slightly, and her adhesive toes grip the floor*

Namah: ...Well? What will it be? *Eyes narrow*

...

Zev: *Still trying to comfort Moss*

*Moss reduces her crying to a small whimpering*

Shroom: I'll do it...

*Shroom goes up to Moss and picks her up, she starts crying into his shoulder*

Ursakune: Do you know where the sleeping quarters are?

Shroom: Its okay... Calm down...

*Moss' crying grow louder*

Zev: ... *Teleports*

*The metalsmith arrives in a deep basement of the Ironclad*

Zev: *Summons up forging tools again* I'm not one to ply women with jewelry...Nor do I ply men with jewelry. But I've got a feeling that I won't get another chance to do this for Shroom and Moss anytime soon.

*He retrieves two more vials of blood, levitating them nearby*

Zev: First Vongola Rain Guardian, Asari Ugetsu...First Vongola Sun Guardian, Knuckle. Do you permit?

*He tilts his head, listening to something*

Zev: ...Thank you. *Fishes around in coat again* ...Alicorn, yes...Adamantite...And Orichalcum. Perfect.

*The metalsmith begins heating up his equipment again...*

...

Namah: *Still aboard the human ship* *Frown deepens into a scowl* Well? Have you decided to stop the attack?

Roll: *Cuddles up into Namah's neck*

...

Chrome: *Walks over to Moss and Shroom* Moss-san...Please...Please, don't cry... *Takes her hand gently*

Wekiga: *Strolls back in, and stops* ...

Makoto: *Watches worriedly*

Ursakune: I wonder what she is remembering...

*Ursakune closes his eyes and sees into Moss' mind*

Ursakune: Oh...

*Ursakune sees a 7 year old Moss sitting a an opening of a forest, alone, then sees a few other people looking at her with disgust, and these figures seem to be much older than Moss. The people look at her for a while more and walk away, Moss tries to follow them but trips over her feet and starts crying*

Ursakune:*Whispers to Shroom* She is remembering being lonely, maybe the amount of freinds she has now triggered that memory...

Shroom: Maybe so... *Turns to Chrome* Do you know where she can lie down and rest for a while?

Moss:*Keeps on crying, holding onto Chrome's hand*

*After the jolt of the second shot, Praepositus decides to see if Aeturnus was woken. As he enters the room he can see Aeturnus fighting a knight. Praepositus unsheathes Uredinum and charges at the knight.*

Praepositus: Come quickly! I think Blackout may have escaped!

---

Pilot 1 *in radio to lieutenant*: They're not responding, permission to board? Over.

Leiutenant: No, we wait... over.

Blackout: *senses the presence of the ships* It seems that the universe is determined to get in my way.

*more black knights appear on board all the other ships and start killing everyone in sight*

The Knight in Klak's Quarters: Ego eram exspecto vobis. Iam vos es hic. Iam vos mos intereo. (I was waiting for you. Now you are here. Now you will die.) *draws sword* Instruo vestri!
(Prepare yourself!)

The Knight in D-Klak's Quarters: *is pushed backwards, then knocks the hook blades out of D-Klak's hands* Refragatio est vacuus D-Klak! Vos vires pariter trado iam! (Resistance is useless D-Klak! You might as well surrender now!)

The Knight in Aeternus's Quarters: *turns to Praepositus* Miser vos es nefas Praepositus. Nostrum vinco has non subterlabor.....etiamnunc, usquam. (Unfortunately you are wrong, Praepositus. Our master has not escaped.....yet, anyway.) *swings sword and knocks Uredinum out of Praepositus's hands, then grabs it, hits Aeternus over the head with it and throws it away*

Pilot 1: Wha-! I think Field Marshal Aeturnus is close, if I can just lock onto him...

Leuitenant: Defend the bridge. Two lines, double time!

*The human survivors (not cut off) form a line on the bridge.*

Pilot 1:Perfect, now we can reel him in.

---

*Yellow sparks appear around Aeturnus.*

Aeturnus: They found me! *he grabs hold of Praepositus and they are both teleported to the human's ship.*

Praepositus: Uredinum, no! *his eyes light up with fury* Kill them all, aim for the chinks in the armour!

Pilot 2: We have to land quick. Accelerate to hyper-speed 12.

Pilot 1: But... It's not fully tested.

Pilot 2: We have little choice.

*The ship accelerates to hyper-speed 12, they (if it works) would reach the human base in very little time at all.*

Leuitenant: First line, fire! Reload! Second line, fire! Reload!

OOS: I presume that the knights are killable.

Adrastos wrote:OOS: I presume that the knights are killable.

OOS: Yes they are, but it takes quite a lot so you might as well not bother.

*the knights march towards the humans, killing them as they get near*

Ynot: The sleeping quarters are on the third level, third through twentieth doors on the left, second through nineteenth on the right. And, If I may, when I was training, I learned a technique that removes ones memories from their mind. The technique seals the memories in theses cards, for access later on. If you would like, I could remove Moss' memories, for comfort, if nothing else.

Shaern: Are you trying to be caring?

Ynot: I am never one to look away from one who is in pain, unless I am the one issuing said discomfort. One way or another, I need to find a place to dump sour puss in the Brig, before we can do continue on anything.

*more black knights appear around Ynot*

Ynot: You know what, this would be a great opportunity to train with Fedele...

*Releases him so they could fight*

Ynot: See the guys in black? Me and you are going to hurt them okay?

Fedele: Purrrrrrrr.

*Ynot and Fedele start fighting them, keeping them away from Moss, Wekiga and Chrome*

Ynot: Not bad for your first outing. Let's se if you can keep up!

OOS: These knights, being knights, may I assume they are in armor?

OOS: Yes.

They're also quite hard to kill.

*one of the knights suddenly disappears, then reappears and slashes Ynot's back*

Knight: Is est vos procul vestri optimus? Quam misellus. (This is you at your best? How pathetic.)

Ynot: You probably think you have me dooped with that language of yours, don't you? EGO sum recedentia ex meus optimus. EGO sum tantum lascivio vobis (I am far from my best. I am only playing with you)

*Ynot Slams several of the knights together with his mastery of metals*

Ynot: Permissum nos tersus sicco vestri cenaculum quod animadverto quis cado sicco( Let us clean out your attic and see what falls out)

*Fedele scampers in the armor and starts terrorizing the Knights*

Ursakune:*Growls*

*Ursakune appears next to Ynot*

Ursakune: RAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!

*A shock-wave is fired at the knights*

Shroom: We need to get out of here-

*Shroom looks at Moss*

Shroom: Will you be okay?

Moss: Y-Yeah...

*Shroom puts down Moss on her feet, and she stops crying*

Moss: Teleportation coin... Won't work...

Shroom: I don't mean to get out of here via teleportation...

Moss:*To Chrome* I-I'm okay... We need to... To fight...

*Shroom walks towards the Knights, his hands in his pockets*

*The humans, realising they can't win, decide on a new strategy. A tight door slides down across the corridor leading to the bridge and detaches itself from the ship. Some humans and all of the knights are trapped and the main ship explodes. The bridge of the ship continues on it's way. The Leuitenant died but he is dispensable, the true loss was Uredinum but, being only of value to Praepositus, Aeturnus is feeling quite pleased with himself.*

Aeturnus: Blackout may have escaped but hey, it's a big multiverse! Think of the cities we could build. The worlds we could colonise!

*Praepositus is sitting down, where is Uterio?*

Praepositus: You know that won't happen. Blackout will hunt us all down. *thinks for a while until* Pledge your armies to Uterio, *stands up* take back what is ours!

Aeturnus: What is yours, you mean. You over-rate that sword.

Praepositus: That sword is all that remains of our world in this place! Trapping Blackout didn't work, he must be destroyed... and I wouldn't kill him with any other blade. *pauses for a while* I you weren't human yourself, I would happily kill you too. Clearly that sword has never pierced your skin. The wound burns from the inside. Those it doesn't kill it leaves crippled.

*He finds his spear and rubs his sleeve on it's dulled edge before sharpening the once exquisite spearhead.*

*From nearby the escaping humans comes spinning...Something*

*It is a huge, purple sphere, covered in massive spikes*

*Suddenly, five more appear, starting to box them in*

Namah: *Growls animalistically from inside the original spiked sphere* You b@stards!! You almost killed me and Roll...!!

*She gets a message from Makoto*

Makoto: Namah, we need you to help us on the ship!!

Namah: Feh. *Heads back for the Ironclad*

...

*Onboard the Ironclad*

Makoto: *Unleashes a flurry of punches, sending knights flying*

Chrome: *Tries to form walls, but finds them shattered through*

*A knight draws close, blade lifted high*

Chrome: *Whimpers, cowering away*

BANG-Sssss...

Chrome: *Looks up, to see the knight rapidly deteriorating*

*A chuckling emerges from behind her*

Wekiga: *Steps protectively in front of Chrome* Relax, illusionist...I'm on your side. For now.

*...*

*Deep inside the ship, Zev has finished*

Zev: *Holding the items tight, teleports up to Shroom and Moss*

*Rapidly tosses a pair of objects to them*

Shroom: *Receives a beltbuckle of silver, with a blue gem shaped like a wolf's face inset, supported by a dark blue-green, metallic plate*

Moss: *Receives a silver-white, narrow bangle, with a spiral design around it. Inlaid on a circular silver disc is a yellow gem in the shape of a kangaroo's face*

Zev: Shroom, your beltbuckle contains the Lupo di Pioggia; male Rain Wolf Dante. He's normally pacifistic, but is also very arrogant. Moss, your bangle contains the Canguro di Sole; female Sun Kangaroo Beatrice. She's motherly and kind, but ferocious to those who threaten her family. Shroom, the Rain Flames pacify, and can freeze at higher levels. Moss, the Sun Flames boost natural processes, and are good for healing; however, it takes great skill to use them in direct combat.

*He gives a mischeivious smile*

Zev: Good luck~! You'll have to be fully accepted later, so stick with me! *Proceeds to take out a red and crimson box with a small hole in the top* *Inserts ring of left hand, causing a gout of red and pink flames* Let's go. *Draws out a long, dark red wooden staff with a horned, bestial skull trailing long black hair atop it*

*The metalsmith motions with the staff at some knights*

*Waves of Storm Flames are released on them*

*...*

*The wide, triangular ship arrives near the Ironclad*

Pilot 1: Xanxus-sama! It appears that they are engaged in battle!

Xanxus: Hmph. Bring us closer in.

Pilot 2: As you wish, Xanxus-sama.

*The ship approaches...*

*Fedele leaves the Knight, burning from the inside out*

Ynot: Fedele, to me!

*Fedele ignores Ynot and continues attacking, hit and run style*

Ynot: Still don't have your trust, eh? Fine, I'll show you what I can REALLY do...

*Unsheathes Ka-Oni-Santsu, releasing it to it's Fire form, the Scimitar*

Ynot: Behold, Storm Spirit, the might of Ka-Oni-Santsu.

*begins bellowing flames at the Knights, melting their armor, making Statues out of them*

*Shroom reaches the knights and grabs the nearest one*

Shroom: SHORYUKEN!

*Shroom uppercuts the knight in the jaw, launching it several feet into the air*

*Shroom then jump kicks the knight out of the air, taking the cut coin*

Shroom: WIND BLADE!

*The knight is then sliced with a force that could cut through the moon*

*Shroom lands on the floor, one hand on the ground, the knight is not dead*

Ursakune: Grrrrr...!

*Ursakune launches with a rocket headbutt into the knight, killing it*

Moss: Behind!

*Moss ducks as a knight tries to slice off her head*

*She bends down, flicks her head and brings up her leg, kicking the knight with massive force*

*She spins round again, still crouched, sweeping the knight's legs and taking his sword*

Moss: I don't like swords much.

*She thrusts into the knights head with the sword, the tip of it coming out the other end*

Moss: Right behind you, Zev~!

*Suddenly, Namah and Roll teleport back in; Namah still within Roll's Needle Ball Form*

Namah: How dare you keep me from getting revenge on those uppity humans, who almost killed me!! And now, you put my friends in danger...*Roars* I'm glad you knights have voices, 'cuz I wanna hear you squeal like pigs!!

Roll: Myurrrgh!! *Needle Ball Form multiplies itself four copies, resulting in five purple spheres about Uraskune's size, with dagger-size black spikes on them*

Namah: Rock n' Roll Over!! *Throws hands forward, Bracelet of the Clouds flickering with Cloud Flames*

*The five spheres launch in unison, slowly but violently shredding into the knights' heavy armor*

Zev: ...And now I have a boner. *Sprays one flanking knight with Storm Flames from the skull on staff*

Chrome: *Has latched onto the back of Wekiga's torso-robings*

Wekiga: *Chuckles* Cute. *Hurls waves of magenta plasma onto some of the knights, pushing them back*

Makoto: *Is standing atop a pile of disassembled armor, howling while fighting* The voices of a thousand squirrels call out to me!! *Fluffy tail twitches spastically*

*Her next uppercut releases a devastating shockwave*

*The battle continues as such*

*Shroom brings out a strange looking coin, the picture on it cannot be taken for something familiar*

Shroom: Summon... SPINNING SHIELD!

*A shield appears in Shrooms hand as the coin disappears, the sheild's rim has razor sharp blades on it, and they are rotating around the shield slowly*

Shroom: *Takes out knife-gun* Lets dance.

*Shroom shoots the nearest knight in the head with his knife-gun, before mauling it with his shield*

Shroom: *shouts back to Moss* Keep on pushing through!

Moss: Waaaay ahead of ya~!

*Moss dashes forward and jumps onto Shroom's head, he jumps again, gaining massive height*

Moss: Hehe~!

Shroom: You were just CRYING a few minutes ago!!!

*Moss dives down with the speed and grace of an eagle, taking out her knives toward the knight the Shroom had injured*

*As she strikes down at the knight, she rips with her arms outward, ripping through the knight's armour*

Shroom: My kill.

*Shroom shoots a knife at the hole in the Knights armour, killing it instantly*

*The battle rages on*

*The human ship lands and Aeturnus can't help thinking of the fight he missed, or slaughter as he imagined it.*

Aeturnus: Perhaps you're right. Killing Blackout would be a civil duty. *He puts his hand to his chest and notices the lack of medals.*

Praepositus: I never said tha...

Aeturnus: We shall, indeed, sign a treaty with Uterio and together we will rid the multiverse of this plague!

Praepositus: *shakes head* Once he has the Keruvim, he won't need you're forces. Serve under him, not with him!

Aeturnus: In which case you will leave these premises within the hour, return to you oppressive overlord! *starts to walk away* The sooner you leave the sooner the medal ceremony.

*Praepositus teleports to Kakamu's funeral hoping to get a lift to Uterio and Rahksha.*

OOS: KoN, if you like you can presume that your characters on the Ironclad followed my characters and then went with Praepositus. I'm pretty sure that your characters were at the funeral.

*Ynot Cycles through the forms of KOS, damaging the Knights as he does so*

Ynot: Elementum requiro cruor, tribuo mihi ut vitualamen(The elements demand blood, give me that sacrifice)

*He stops in front of one of the Knights*

Ynot: Reverto ut vestri utor , dico lemma ut EGO mos non sto pro talis ledo (Return to your employer, tell them that I will not stand for such violation) Is traba est mei , paro pes in is iterum , quod vos mos totus pereo (This ship is mine, set foot in it again, and you will all perish)

*Meanwhile, on the ship outside the Ironclad*

Fran: *Has entered a regal-looking suite* Bel-sempai~

*The following is Fran's appearance: *


[In addition to his squishy frog helmet, he wears a longsleeve black jacket with a white fur collar and cuffs over a blue shirt, tight black pants, and mid-shin-height boots with fur lining. Finally, he wears a silver wring decorated with a wrought 666.]

*An indecipherable groan emerges from a human-shaped lump underneath the covers of the gigantic bed*

Fran: Belphegor-sempai~ *Approaches, staring at the bed*

Belphegor: *Grumbles curses in Italian* ...Go away, froggy. I'm sleeping.

Fran: *Pokes him through the sheets* We have to work now. Even though fake prince-sempai hates any kind of actual work.

Belphegor: *Aims a tired kick for Fran's leg*

Fran: *Though his thigh is hit squarely, he doesn't even flinch* Fake prince-sempai~

...

Frank: *Picks up a pillow* Bel-sempai~

THWACK.

Fran: Bel-sempai~

THWACK.

Fran: Bel-sempai~

THWACK.

Fran: Bel-semp - Bphhh. *Goes flying from the punch*

Belphegor: *Sits up from bed, grinning madly* M'kay. The prince has awakened. Ushishishi~!


[He wears a narrow silver tiara adorned with a bloodred gem, as well as bandages around his neck. Over his horizontally-striped white and purple shirt, he wears a dark purple jacket with a popped collar. He also wears white gentleman's gloves, tight jeans, and polished leather shoes.]

...

*A pillow knocks Belphegor's tiara slightly askew*

Belphegor: Cheh. *Makes a swift movement with one hand while fixing tiara with other*

Fran: *Finds a knife sticking out of his shoulder, though he barely even flinches* *Plucks the knife out nonchalantly as he gets up and leaves with the room Belphegor* Lucky thing you got up, Fake Prince-sempai. I was about to crawl in bed with you and start jabbing your ribs.

Belphegor: F#ck off, toad.

...

*Meanwhile, Lussuria and the second-to-last, grumbling member of the team enter while having a one-sided chat*

Lussuria: Silly Levi-kun here just did not want to get up~! I had to go and dropkick him, in the end, and let me tell you, it hurt me just as much as it hurt him!


Levi: *Grumbles irritably, trying to wipe sleep out of his eyes*

Belphegor: Heh. Lazy pondscum.

Fran: Yeah, Bel-sempai was pretty much the same. He punched me when I interrupted his beauty sleep. I can't blame him, 'cause we all know he needs as much of it as he can get. *Pauses, before sighing* Stupid Bel-sempai. *Reaches around to pull knives out of the back of his helmet*

Lussuria: Now now, children~! You-know-who won't like your argu -

???: VOOOI!!

Lussuria: ... - ing. *Sigh* Blood pressure, Squalo.


[However, he is currently scowling. He is wearing a black coat secured with two rows of buttons, black leather pants, what appear to be seaboots, and black gloves.]

Squalo: I SWEAR, I'M GOING TO - !!

Xanxus: Squalo. Stow it.

Squalo: ...Yes. My apologies, Xanxus-sama.


Xanxus: *Sits facing the group* ...You know why we're here. To get Zev to fix our...Predicament.

*The group nods in unison, their bickering ceased*

Xanxus: Good. Prepare to pay a visit to Raregroove, gentlemen.

*He gives a savage grin, eyes glinting with bloodlust*

Xanxus: Let's all have fun.

*Uterio, bewildered, turns to the knights*

Uterio: "But, I am Blackout's ally! Tamen, EGO sum Blackout's socius!!!"

Rahksha: "Master, how did you learn Latin?"

Uterio: "My last name has screams of Italian heritage."

---

*On Uterio's ship, several soldiers with laser blasters, lances, and longswords step out on the bridge, and attack the Black Knights*

---

*D-Klak gets up, and groans*

DK: "Really? Latin? Of all the languages that you taught me, MK, you missed Latin, the ONE language I need to understand now?"

*summons a sonics power scream, attacking the knight*

---

*Klak uses the Crast to repel the knight away, then stabs him with the Keyblade in midair*

Me: Vos fossor! Operor vos ignoro ut lux lucis attero obscurum? (You fool! Do you not know that the light destroys the darkness?)
---

*Nadle, Perseus, and Keichi leave their rooms*

Keichi: "What the hell?"

Perseus: "What sorcery is this?"

Nadle: "There's only one person on this ship with black magic powerful enough to commit this sorcery, and stay completely sane....Blackout!"

*They all charge at several Knights, Nadle and Perseus using their swords, and Keichi using his gun*

OOS: I missed a lot. Anyone voting on MAH contest?

OSS: Sorry Zev, forgot about you giving them things

Moss:*Takes bangle* That... Is the coolest thing... EVER!

*Moss becomes overexcited and fumbles with the bangle, trying to put it on, but failing*

Shroom: Thank you... So much...

*Shroom puts on the belt-buckle and then sees Moss struggling to put her bangle on*

Shroom: Here, let me help you-

Moss: No! Wait! I think I'm doing it!

*Moss manages to put it on, and smiles, putting one hand behind her neck*

Moss: Thank you Zev~!

OOS: To be fair, it cannot be your contest, because its my realm.
I shall choose in my next post who gets out alive.

One of the knights surrounding Uterio: Nos es suus militis. Is has iussus nos ut ligatio vel iuguolo totus quisnam sto in suus via. Vos sto in suus via. Vos mos trado nobis vel intereo per nostrum manus manus. (We are his knights. He has ordered us to imprison or kill all who stand in his way. You stand in his way. You will surrender to us or die by our hand.)

The Knight in front of Ynot: Nefas. Is est vos quisnam mos pereo. Vos can non impono nex is vicis rotundus. Is mos infligo quater. (Wrong. It is you who will perish. You cannot cheat death this time round. He will knock four times.) *disappears, along with the rest of the Knights in the room*

OOS: Okay.

*Trantoshen follows Praepositus*

*Uterio's soldiers are quickly slaughtered*

The knight attacking Klak: *heals the damage* Est ut quis vos puto? Vos could non exsisto magis nefas. (Is that what you believe? You could not be more wrong.) *draws sword* Vallo vestri! (Defend yourself!) *knocks Keyblade out of Klak's hand*

Praepositus: So, Trantoshen, we can only presume that Blackout has killed all those on the Ironclad. How do kill such demons?

*He sits on the ground thinking whilst Kakamu's funeral continues behind him.*

Praepositus: If they are of magic, may we separate the spirit from the suit?

*more knights appear on the human ship*

Knight: Nex ut humanus! Attero lemma in nomen nostri glorificus rector! (Death to the humans! Destroy them in the name of our glorious leader!)

*the knights begin attacking the humans*

Trantoshen: It is an idea. Blackout is a creature made mostly of a substance called antidermis. It is a kind of intelligent green gas.

*The human ship at this point had almost been completely emptied.*

Aeturnus: No, they followed! *he signals for troops to kill the intruders* Form a line! Four men thick, and fire at will.

*An intense fire of various weaponry rips through the ship and all around it. By the end, the ship is a complete wreck. If the knights are at all mortal, they will be dead.*

Aeturnus: Why is Blackout so intent on killing me?

Colonel *who came with the rest of the many hundreds of soldiers*: Well, you have built a huge army at an unprecidented rate. If I were Blackout, I would kill you. He, no doubt, fears all powers uniting under one banner. Is there no-one with which you could form an alliance.

*Aeturnus thinks for a while.*

Aeturnus: Send word to Uterio, we fight with him to the Keruvim and to the death of Blackout.

---

Praepositus: In which case I would decide on entrapment, but seeing as that failed... If there is any craft that could hold Blackout, Zev will possess it. I'm sure if we found a sample of this antidermis we may be able to create a substance to combat it. *looks back to the funeral* Or we could go for the Keruvim, although Blackout will expect this. *Thinks for a while before looking back at Trantoshen. A smile draws across his face.* No-one is immune to a trap, a trap to buy time. Then the keruvim could be taken with complete ease.

*the Colonel is suddenly knocked out by a surviving knight*

Knight: Vos vere specto nos ut redono? Bardus nostri hostilis nunquam deficio ut exstasis nos. Nos es undique, quod nos mos subsisto procul nusquam gero Intentio porro. Instruo morior Aeternus! (You really expected us to give up? The stupidity of our enemies never fails to amaze us. We are everywhere, and we will stop at nothing to carry the Plan forward. Prepare to die Aeternus!) *draws sword*
