***SESSION START*** Sure evem, PAIN! <> ---Wisdom Teeth have been removed 4Zeppelin almost got lost in his tower. Fortunately, Delinius was able to teleport them around so that they were back on track. <> *Yawn* Man I'm tired. This is hard work! 12Excuse me Zeppelin, I believe I'm the one doing all the work here? Shut up! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be here right now. 12Now think about tat my boy...there's a bit of a double meaning to that now isn't there? * Zepp_Delinius has to think for a second. Um...yea...well, I....uh...SHUT UP! Zeppelin makes his way through the tower with absolutely no confrontation. He suddenly comes upon a large chamber door. 4Zeppelin makes his way through the tower with absolutely no confrontation. He suddenly comes upon a large chamber door. <> *Whistle* That's one big-ass door! Think we should knock? 12Just push it open my boy. There can't be much that could stop us! Yes! You're right! * Zepp_Delinius begins tpo push on the door, but it doesn't budge. He leans on it as hard as he can, his face turning red. * Zepp_Delinius sinks to the ground, unsuccessful. *panting* Ok, any...other...ideas? *pant* * Zepp_Delinius creates a portal. 12Try walking through there! * Zepp_Delinius stands. Oh...that'll do! * Zepp_Delinius struts inot the portal. As he exits, he finds himself in the chamber. Across the way, a deep, low growl can be heard. He looks towards a monsterous shadowy figure. ...Hi there, and who the hell are you? 4***SCENE CHANGE*** Tala has just finished fighting off a small batalloin of monsters, and not the first one to have come her way. However, they have given her little to no trouble at all. "Well, this has been interresting' <> * Hiro has joined #LunarSA "This water fighting thing really helps, I have had little to no trouble at all..." 4There is a long hallway leading to a door that is similar to the one that Zeppelin had seen, only her's bears a slight blue tinge to it. ""Gee, perhaps I should go to the door, considering I have the blue Aura and it has a slight blue tinge to it." * DonnyGM is now known as Shadowy_Figure * Tala^Pelagic walks towards the door. "Open Sesame" 4Nothing. <> <> "That Didn't work." *tries to turn the dorrknob and push 4It's a big chamber door. There is no door nob. --Gotcha * Tala^Pelagic pushes on the door <> 4No matter how hard Tala tries, the door won't move. * Tala^Pelagic smirks <> <> <<*plays with the pretty flowers>> * Tala^Pelagic freezes the door. "It's frickin Freezin" 4Bingo! The door is completely shrouded in ice. Suddenly, it begins to glow. The ice cracks and shatters. As boulders of stone and ice fall towards Tala, the entire door dissapears, revealing a large chamber. * Tala^Pelagic jumps back to avoid being hit by the stone and ice. Then she walks into the chamber and dusts herself off * Shadowy_Figure lets out a quiet, high growl, like that of a cat. ---Is that a Shadowy figure for me? or is it Zepp's? <> * Tala^Pelagic looks a little worried. "Um....Here kitty kitty?" So...it's you. He told me you'd be here soon! "Who did?" "And who, may I ask, are you?" * Shadowy_Figure leans forward, revealing the sight of a woman. Her hair is a dark blue. She is dressed in tight leggings and a top that drapes over her whole body. Over her mouth, she wears a mask, and on her fingers are razor sharp claws. *Hiss* I am called Ara. "Nice to meet you Ara, I'm Tala" I am the Blue Goddess of the universe. Surrender your life to me, I will make yours a quick and painless death. I suggest you agree to my offer, because my father may not be so forgiving! "So you control water and stuff?" * Shadowy_Figure curls her hands and stretches her back like a cat. much more than you will ever know! "But you're like, Cat-Woman or something...Don't cats hate water?" * Shadowy_Figure is now known as Ara Cat-like animals were made by me, but they were jealous of my beauty, so they despire all I create! I, on the other hand, find ice statues of my enemies to be very sufficient scratching posts! "Cool, I like to drop balls of water on people." * Ara pounces forward at Tala. "Then tihs will be all to EASY!" * Tala^Pelagic jumps away from Ara. "Um, I don't see why you find it necessary to kill me, I think we could get along great" Sadly my dear, our plans to not involve you!...Now...DIE!!! 4***SCENE CHANGE*** Raena, like Zeppelin has been met with almost no confrontation. She is already at her door. <> * Raena holds up her staff to the door. Mysic powers of the great White Dragon Nall, remove this obsticle from my path! * Ara is now known as Shadowy_Figure 4The door glows and dissapears from sight. * Raena walks into the room, holding her staff closely by her side. *Sitting in the throne across the room* So, you must be Raena. Am I correct? * Raena is caught off guard by this. Um...yes. And may I ask who you are? * Shadowy_Figure holds her hand up, a small ball of white energy lighting the room. My father named me Bree. * Shadowy_Figure is now known as Bree * Bree is a very beautiful woman. She has white hair and rose lips. Even her eyes are a mesmerizing silver. She wears a sexy, yet very conservative outfit witha long white cape. She also wears very long earing, a necklace, and a gold tiara on her forehead. <<*wolf whistle*>> Are you? You must be the White Goddess! I can feel your awesome power! * Bree laughs to herself. I must say, I'm very impressed by you. Proud even! Not many people have been through the struggles you've been through my dear. Thank you, Lady Bree. But I thought you were supposed to fight me? My father made me to fight be using my opponent's powers against them. So the question here is: do YOU want to fight? * Raena lowers her head. I never believed fighting was the solution! I wished night after night for a peaceful resolution to this whole thing. But I will fight if I must. Then rest easy my child, for you shall recieve no harm from me! ***SCENE CHANGE*** Back to good old Zeppelin. <> * Bree is now known as Shadowy_Figure What's wrong? Don't you talk? * Shadowy_Figure stands up. ... Guess not huh? What'sa matter? Did daddy drop you on your head one time too many? * Shadowy_Figure stands up fully. This guy is almost nine feet tall! * Shadowy_Figure charges at Zeppelin with unnatural speed. ...OH SHI- *Creates a portal in front of him. * Shadowy_Figure moves through the portal, his first flying at Zeppelin. WHAT THE F... <> <> ---I did too <> 4***SCENE CHANGE*** Donovan hasn't had as easy of a time as the others. He's been bombarded by waves of monsters. His powers have been serving him well however. There si almost no doubt in his mind that he is now the strongest of the Heroes! <> Come on! *punch* Let's go! *kick* Nice try! *chop* Heads up! *knee* Tried to warn ya! *elbow* GET OUT OF MY WAY! *Beam of fire to clear the hall* * Donovan takes a moment to cathc his breath. By the Goddess! Now my dream will come true. Soon my friends...soon your deaths will be avenged! * Donovan looks up and sees his reddish chamber door. * Donovan holds his hand up. "Hmm, I guess I better knock!" * Donovan fires a ball of red energy at the door, destroying it. Heh...knock knock. * Shadowy_Figure laughs from within the chamber. Huh? *walks in* Who are you? HAHAHA. My name is Malaki. Thank you for such entertainment. Though I'm dissapointed! I thought you'd get here much quicker! <> ---BRB Heh, sorry. You're tower threw me off. It took me some time to find my way through. * Shadowy_Figure is now known as Malaki Yes, you found your way all right...to death! * Malaki moves off his throne and into the light. He has black hair that is slightly spiky. He wears a red outfit, almost like a fancy karate gi. In his hand, attached to his side by a red cloth, is a long sword. * Malaki flys at Donovan, his sword slashing at him. *moves inot a fighting stance* LET'S SEE WHAT YOU'VE GOT * Malaki is now known as Rangor 4***SCENE CHANGE*** Outside of the mansion Vassago enters the square. 4Rangor's words of promise echo in his mind. * Vassago sighs. "If I were thinking normally....I'd snatch this up without a single thought..." 4Suddenly, the four gods emerge from their towers. The big guy appears in the air with Zeppelin in his hand, slamming his face into the pavement, Dovovan and Malaki burst through the high wall of thier tower but land skillfully on the ground, continuing their fight, Ara and Tala exit the door, fighting blow for blow, and Raena and Bree appear through the door as well, but not fighting at all. * Rangor rings his voice through all of Neo Vane. "CHILDREN, THAT IS ENOUGH!!!" 4The gods all dissapear at this order, as if though they fear Rangor. * Rangor appears in the air, a few feet above the ground. "Not good...not good." Forgive them everyone. Not all of them are as well mannered as my darling Bree! * Rangor lands. * Raena is on the ground, unconcious. <> * Zepp_Delinius is on the ground, unconcious. * Zepp_Delinius has quit IRC (Quit: ) By the Goddess Althena... Hey, who are you? * Donovan is bleeding from his left arm. "Primary problem number 1." Why need you rush so quickly my boy? There will be plently of time to get aquainted. * Raena whispers to Donovan. Don't try to fight him, he's very powerful. * Donovan nods. I know. I can feel it in him! I wouldn't be that stupid unless we all were going to fight *looks at Zeppelin*. And right now, we're down one! Forgive Megalo, he does not speak very much and his social skills leave something to be desired. You're friend should wake up in time. Thank you...sir...? * Rangor nods. Rangor. So, Rangor, what do you think you're doing huh? You're killing Lu...Althena and threatening all of Lunar! Donovan, please don't make him angery. * Vassago sighs. "Always complicated." It's not fair! We came here to fight, and that's what I'm gonna do! * Donovan yells and charges fire up all around his body. "Donovan, don't!" Stop! "He's too powerful. We can't fight him on these terms." * Donovan tries to charge at Rangor. Suddenly, the fire snaps away and his body looks as if though his his stretching upward. * Vassago shakes his head. "Stupid...stupid stupid stupid." Gggaaaaah! DONOVAN! * Rangor shakes his head. "What do you want with them, Rangor?" I suggest you stop my boy. The more you struggle the tighter my grip on you becomes. Simple, I wish only to make a request. * Donovan falls to the ground, holding his body in pain. * Raena kneels down next to Donovan, holding him. "Donovan...What's your request Rangor?" ---back <> Well you see, I have been watching you all. Over time I have seen a preistess turn into a ghost and then into a guardian, I have seen a boy who commited paracide grow up into a man with the power to manipulate space, I have seen a theif become and ice sculptor, and I have seen a monk of holy stature turn into a warrior of great power. * Hiro has left #LunarSA There were many others I watched as well, all of whom changed greatly solely through the..."power of humanity" I believe the hero Hiro called it. * Donovan struggles to stand. So...what do you...want? * Raena helps Donovan. * Tala^Pelagic stares at Rangor, almost confused. "Thanks, I think" I intend to rebuild this universe that has been corrputed by my wayward children. However, after seeing what mankind has grown to be capable of, I wish to know more! But how? I propose a test! For one week, Lunar will be free of monsters. You will have once week of peace on this planet. Duringthat time, you may live as you see fit. After that week is up, you shall return here to Neo Vane. At that time, we shall hold a tournement! * Vassago goes silent. Again. * Vassago blinks. All may enter who so desire: it shall be the people of Lunar versus The Seven Gods! "What kind of tournament? ...what are you trying to prove, Rangor? " You see Vassago, if th power of mankind that have heard about is true, then the people of Lunar should be able to defeat all seven gods! I merely wish to see if humans are worthy enough to take their place in the new world. ... * Vassago glances at Donny, Raena, and Tala. Kinda a 'be very suspicious' look. ...And if we refuse to this offer? "Yeah, what if we don't want to fight?" Then the attacks will keep coming. Lunar will perish from a seige like no other. All live will be whiped clean from this place, and all shall be born anew in the next world, with none from this time existing within it. Even your spirits will perish, as if though you never existed. ...We don't have a choice then... "I can't speak for them..." "But I accept." "I don't think it's fair to judge worth by fighting ability. You pointed out all that we accomplished but very little of that was done through violence" Tala...what else can we do? I'm with Vassago! I'll fight too! "Heh....there was a time that you would probably drop dead before trusting me, I'm sure." Hey, what can I say. You've grown on me you ugly bastard! *smirk* "I'm ugly? You should look in the mirror sometime." "Will this be a tournament with or without weapons and/or powers?" We will all fight, right Tala? "I only hope, Rangor...that you will be participating." *blank stare at him* You may fight with one type of weapon and as much magic as you can muster. * Rangor looks at Vassago. I shall be the final test! (I just hope YOU make the right decision. Remember...you're birth-right!) "So, basically, if we don't fight we all die and everything here dies, correct?" * Raena nods at Tala. Including the forrests! * Vassago just stares at Rangor. "So, we are allowed to leave then?" * Tala^Pelagic says bitterly. "Well, this is all wrapped up in a nice little package, isn't it? * Rangor grins and points to the horizon. "Very good. You're week shall begin at sunrise. I shall see you all at the tounement! * Rangor dissapears. 4A moment after Rangor is gone, the sky becomes clear. The orange sun rises to greet the day, a sight that has not be beheld by our heroes in a ver long time. * Vassago stares at the sun for awhile...occasionally looking away as to not blind himself. "Been awhile. * Donovan stand up without Raena's help. He closes his eyes and faces the horizon. He lets the sun warm his face and the breeze brush through his hair. "...One week of peace!" "Peace for you, maybe." ...So...how shall we spend the time? * Rangor is now known as Zepp_Delinius Vassago... "Preparing for...quite literally...the fight of your lives." * Tala^Pelagic sayd angrilly "I just want to say, I don't want to fight and I think this whole Idea is stupid" "It's a shame, Tala...but you're going to have to do what you can." "Now how do I get somewhere that I can recognize?" "Well...you walk? *smirks*" * Donovan opens his eyes, feeling more determined than ever. "Thank You so very much" *picks a direction and starts walking it. I say we all head back to Vane! Ghaleon might be able to help us prepare! Tala, wait! Vassago, stop being such a jerk! * Tala^Pelagic yells over her shoulder. "I'll be back in a week, if I'm not, I'm dead" * Zepp_Delinius groans and moves slightly * Raena feels sad, but cheers herself up to keeps everyone's spirits up. Take care of yourself Tala! "Jerk....yeah...you're right." "Ditto" *walks out of site. Who else is going to come to me to Vane? *muffled*...me... "I'll accompany you. I want to speak with Ghaleon." * StUpId_Fo0 has joined #LunarSA Me too! Okay then. Hey, Vassago. * Scott has joined #LunarSA Can you teleport us back there? Somehow I don't think Zeppelin is able to do it right now. * StUpId_Fo0 is now known as Sygar ..yes? * Vassago incants the teleportation spell. * Scott has left #LunarSA 4The group teleports away, leaveing Neo Vane behind them. Lunar has been granted one week of peace. Tala has gone off on her own, and now the others must decided what to do with their given time. Will the power of humanity once again save the world of Lunar? Or will our heroes have to seeks help from another source? Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of Lunar: Strange Awakenings! 4***END SESSION***
