Futuristic Among Gods

[Ged Merrilin]

Ged's harp slows to a stranger tune, and as it plays, the light distorts and bubbles in front of him. To the barbarian it appears now as if Ged and where he wants to go is to his far right and the weakened knight in front of him. This is not simply illusion magic, but rather an actual bending of how the light directly reflects. The idea is that the barbarian will turn and strike the weakened knight.

 

[Thorn of Discord]

I SURE - WISH HE WOULD - SHUT UP


Thorn weakly rose, rubbing his throat.


- DONT GO GENTLY - INTO THAT - GOOD NIGHT - Steeling himself, Thorn turned to Seih, "See if you can't un-posess the guy, I think we can save him, and you," he directed his attention to the new-comer, - WE SHOULD THANK HER - WOULD SHE LIKE FLOWERS - AND CHOCALATE YOU THINK - "do...something while I...distract him...or something." SOLID PLAN - <Cram it already>


Thorn charged towards the wizard/God, almost biting it on the dirt from fatigue.


LLEEEERROOOOYY - JEEEENNKIIIINNNNSS!!!!

 

[Bonzo]

BANG BANG CLICK CLICK не, по дяволите


So now we do what?


Um.


That was my last magazine. I can always try to electrocute us to death to save us the bother of being killed. Sarcasm bled bitter from her thoughts.


Ah... I'm very sorry about all this. Koyaanis sent, with some dejection.

That woman over there shooting at me seems absolutely perfect to take over atfer [sic] this one dies!"

..!


..?


A plan crept into both of their minds with a growing sense of foreboding.


No!.. yes... is this really what it's come to? Am I ready to give myself to prolong everyone's rapidly declining life expectancy?


...I'm so sorry to have run us out of options like this. Really I shouldn't have let this happen. I'd never ask you to do something like..


Let's do it before you come up with something even more stupid.


Koyaanis paused, slightly stunned but profoundly impressed.


You're awesome. I'll be needing some help...


Koyaanis mentally struck out into the battlezone with some resignation.

Seih!


Seiiiiiih!


Oh, hang on.


<Seih! I have a really bad idea!>


<The possessor doesn't know I'm with Danielle - we can ambush him while he's switching between bodies!>


<I don't think I can do it alone - can you help me fight him? It's the best shot we're going to get.>





Seih blinks as he hears Koya's thought, and turns to look at Danielle, before looking at Vizara again.



<You think he'll want...>


<Ah.>


<Yes, that could work - it'll be a short window of opportunity though; we'll have to be fast.>


<I can block it from entering Danielle's mind and prevent it from returning to Vizara's, but I can't do anything by myself while its mind is on transit.>


<Can you handle that?>



<I can. Well, I'll have to, I suppose. I'd burn myself out before he even touched Dani>

'Hey, Тъпак!' Danielle, vaguely aware of their conversation, spits at the God. 'I'd like to see a parasite like you TRY to overcome me! Stop hiding in your puppet and face me!'


WHAT ARE YOU DOING


Isn't this part of the plan? 'Майка ти е голям хамстер...' Dani throws her gun to the side.


YES BUT ALSO WHAT


Shut up, Koyaanis, let me do my bit. '...и баща ти мирише на бъз!' And steps toward Vizara.


OKAY


We're not strong, but we're smart, right?


RIGHT


...


Koyaanis braces himself around Danielle like a vengeful shroud.


Time to be a bit of both, Ms Sakharov.


Thankfully I'm here to be the smart one...


Ha ha ha.

 

[Lyro]

Keeping his distance, Seih turns to face Vizara, choosing to stay behind the charging Thorn for protection. As he is about to extend his mind towards Vizara, a splitting headache hits Seih and he groans, just barely managing to stay upright, balancing himself on a nearby rock. Right. Well. If we're doing this... there's no way around it now.


Seih reaches into the pockets of his coat and pulls out his nutritional flask, which he eyes with some apprehension. [Once at sunrise is fine/Twice is treading a thin line]... but what happens the third time? Only one way to find out. With one last deep breath, Seih unstops the flask and takes another sip.


Immediately, he feels the effects of overdose. Two sips a day is the most he has ever had, and for good reason. Even as he feels energy flooding back into his body, every other system in his body begins to spin out of control: his vision blurs and doubles, sounds pitch up and down erratically, his body begins shaking uncontrollably and a thin line of pearly-white blood begins to flow from his nose. And yet, even as his body degenerates, his mind is revitalized, performing once more at peak efficiency. I'll just have to deal with the fallout later... Let's just focus on making sure there is a later for now.


Seih closes his eyes and begins to focus entirely on the possessed Vizara's mind, or what is left of it at any rate, while communicating with Koya and Danielle.


<I am ready.>


<But I am burning out quickly.>


<So let's hope we get this over quickly.>

 

[creepingShade]

Errg growls and tigthens his grip on the sword. He's filled with anger and frustration at this unnatural creature. "Why... Won't... You... DIE?!" He lets go of the sword with one hand and sinks his clawed hand into the beast's flesh, holding on tight. Errg rips his blade out of the monster with a grunt, avoiding cutting his own hand, and then plunges the sword back into the creature. He's trying to climb up to the creature's center, by using the sword like an ice axe and the wounds like hand- and footholds. The predator tries lodging the blade in anything that looked like it could seriously debilitate the spider-serpent-thing, like joints or bone or muscle clusters.


--------------------------------------------------------


So he couldn't chuck bombs at his problem. That was never good. But that never stopped Izhane before! He'll just chuck... different types of bombs! Yeah, great idea. Since the god was kind of skewered by magic ice right now, and it would probably be in Izhane's best interests to not just blast away the ice, Izhane fires yet another bolt at the god and then tosses a smoke bomb at him. The salamander-kin actually had a pretty good arm, he could probably clonk the draconic god over the head with the jar of roiling black smoke if he tried to.





"Hey! Come on, wyrmling! What's the matter, has the stupid lizard gotten distracted? I bet you couldn't even roast a marshmallow with that pathetic breath of yours!"





Izhane reasoned that if he could keep alternating who was drawing the attention of the god, they could chip away at him until he got sloppy. And if the god wasn't so close to Byron, Izhane would have access to a couple more tricks.

 

[ChrisClark13]

Chris tries to use whatever energy his modifier has collected in this short time span to heal his wounds and apply the medical supplies that have been offered to him (like how it would work in a video game, though mostly by ignoring that that's not how reality works instead of trying to brute force video game logic).


After that, Chris pulls up his .50 cal pistol and shoots a couple times, trying to get a shot on the knight's head before trying to rolling around to get behind whatever cover he can (unless it's an enemy god because then he'd be attacked while on the ground and that'd be bad.)

 

[Torma Ximnus]

Each of Alexander's Dynamos arced towards him as the Goat Demon flung them away. Before Marcus even yelled to duck Marcus could see from the Goat Demon's movements that it was preparing to swing at them again and let himself fall towards the ground. He curled into a ball and fell back first into the array his Dynamos formed behind him and the portal they opened as the Goat Demon began to swing, the portal being smaller for the missing 6th Dynamo but still able to be safely traveled, and out of the exit on the ground behind the Goat Demon to land in a crouch facing away from it. The Dynamos followed their master and closed the gate, following his movements to slash several times at the Goat Demon's vulnerable legs while it was still swinging before resting on the ground to form another portal beneath his feet, allowing him to fall feet first at a spot teen feet away from the Goat Demon. Alexander did a mid-air flip to land on the ground in a crouch as the Dynamos once again closed the gate after following their master to the other side, standing as he looked up on the results of his and Marcus's combined efforts.


Alexander hadn't noticed because he did a front flip in front of his Dynamos rather than a back flip to land behind them, but just after he exited the gate there was a brief vibration, as if something started to go wrong with the gating function but stopped before anything bad could happen. A pop up with a report opened in front of Alexander but he closed it without looking at it. He was in the middle of a fight with a demon (or god, he couldn't tell which), his armor hadn't finished repairing and he was a Dynamo short. Reports would have to wait until after the battle was over.

 

[Bluesunnyday]

Maya frowns at the robotic god. "Oh no, the scary robot dodged my bullets, if only I had-"





Maya unleashes another salvo of bullets, throwing in some shots from her backup revolver. Her Guiding Light was switched to Light magic, and each shot exploded with the force of a flashbang.


----------------


Kalos, on the other hand, switches to a frantic replaying of "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" to get out as much damage as possible.

 

[Neow46]

Major update #19!


All around the Area, Rohkuul's reinforcements have arrived, and low gods are fighting one another all around in a massive battlefield to assist the players and protect the Marauder camp!

​

( @Seahorse @ferociousfeind @Bonzo @SnakyDragon @Thorn of Discord @Lyrositor @ChrisClark13 @creepingShade @arcaneSentinel @Shadow Dancer @Torma Ximnus ) Mei, Misfortune, Danielle, Koya, Coils, Thorn, Seih, Jaik, Izhane, Byron, Marcus, Alexander and Chris: (Going in order of who posted first.)


Both Marcus and Alexander immediately duck in attempt to dodge the Demon god's angry swing!


However, As Alexander falls back into the smaller portal he creates with his Dynamos, Marcus misplaces a good half of his body through the portal due to his near proximity to Alex, his weight falls into the hole in reality!


With the sudden unexpected additional traveler, Alexander's focus and balanced are disrupted as you both land onto the grass behind the demon into a messy sprawl as the pillar swings itself through where the two of you just were and SLAMMING the ground with a ground-shaking shock wave as the earth at the end of the demon's swing sends another good mound of dirt flying upwards into the air with highly destructive force! Had either of you been there, it would seem as if neither ducking or jumping would have saved either of you....


But you're both quick to act thankfully as you both regain yourselfs and coordinate your attacks together, aiming for the back of the angry and stupid god's back legs!


While Marcus charged forward towards the good leg, Only two of Alexander's dynamos go forwards and attempt to damage the other leg, getting a few painful slashes into the already crippled back leg before attempting to retreat back, unfortunately, another one of the Dynamo, was caught as the demon foolishly slaps one of the dynamos deeper into it's left back leg, effectively destroying a second Dynamo, and wounding itself even farther!


While the beast painfully yells, Marcus immediately follows up as best he can and jams his blade right into the beast's supporting leg, letting out another pained scream as strange red energy from the wound flies upwards into the air at an almost unhealthy looking rate!


The large monstrosity let out a pained and ferocious Roar as it felt the attacks upon it's weak points... However, the beast began to wobble as he fell backwards onto his back!


Forcing Marcus to quickly dive away from being smashed by giant hairy goat demon god buttocks!


The beast layed on it's back dazed, the back of it's legs, releasing a their strange energy upwards into the air, weak spots now facing downwards on the ground as he sat up, more dazed rather then angry by the looks of it now as both of you backed off...


"NO FAIR!" He screamed loudly at the two of you.


"COME AND FACE YOUR DEATHS LIKE WARRIORS!"


He tried to reach for the two of you with his massive, red arms, but is too stupid to realize that won't work...


However, the Demon goat seems to be charging some sort of energy now as the energy bleeding from the backs of his legs begin to transfer into his hands, appearing to build up to a ground smash that could possibly kill the both of you!


But before he's able to slam the ground, a immense, gushy, slashing noise is heard very suddenly, and the Goat demon's expression immediately flipped from immensely angry, to immensely startled as his form begins to waver oddly, and an immense cut acrossed his indestructible torso begins bleeding energy...


Realizing this however the god immediately pounds both his charged up fists into himself, as his entire form and his pillar begin to turn an bright red, before vanishing within an instant upwards into space! Leaving behind a poof of energy that now slowly floats upwards into the air...


You both wonder what the hell just happened... but looking around.... you guys are able to figure out what was suddenly happening... (Please below and read all of this section for group A!)


Perhaps it was possible you could help one of these people who were fighting...?


(The closest people are Chris and Misfortune, and Byron and Izhane by a small jogging distance)


As the God knight charges, the orb object within his helm appears to be building up more and more energy as Chris quickly takes the medical supplies he obtained from Misfortune and begins using them, but he's hardly able to bandage up his head wound as his vision goes fuzzy again for a second before he uses the last of his modifier's minuscule amounts of energy left at an attempt to heal himself! With a flash of static he feels a firm patch be suddenly stuck onto the back of his head where the knight god pummeled him before both he and Misfortune are forced to dodge out of the way of the Knight's charging lance!


As the both of you roll to opposite sides and get back onto your feet, the Knight's helm glowed brightly, an immense amount of blue colored energy had been built up now as he looks towards Chris, the orb in the helm looking to blast Chris into Oblivion!


With a loud, devastating sounding -FWOOSH- A Mighty blue beam of fiery energy blasts forwards!


Chris raises his arm up helpless in defense and closing his eyes... however instead of feeling himself be suddenly incinerated... Chris looked to see a group of Three standing between him and the god knight he was fighting, three, standardly armed foot-soldier looking beings held their kite shields against the powerful beam as it melted them away into molten scrap!


"Commencing attack!" The three of them shouted simultaneously.


"For the Goddess!" they all shouted at the same time, tossing their melted shields as the Knight god raised his own tower shield against them and their short swords!


Assuming they were allies, Chris got a perfect opportunity to strafe around and aim his .50 cal and stabilize himself as the Enemy Knight god bashed them away from him, charging up another devastating beam in his head!


-BAM-


-BAM-


-BAM-


Chris is able to get off three shots, only two of them directly hit the visor of the knight god, both shots creating cracks in the visor!


Looking around however, the both of you see Gods of all types beginning to appear all around, fighting each-other!!!


The Knight God was beginning to win against the three foot-soldier's that were taking them on, however they were helping create vulnerabilities within the Knight god's own indestructible armor, faster then he could expend energy to repair it as he charged another beam! What shall the two of you do?


Jaik and Coils charged the ninja god at the same time with a quick pincer maneuver!


Unfortunately, the God see's this coming as you both charge towards them fangs out, Leaping upward into the air over the two of you and behind, Stumbling as they land...


They were appearing to begin collecting their energy as they look around to see all sorts of gods fighting against each other left and right, and looking around for yourselves, some of the Gods who were fighting against what you assumed friendlies were charging up enegies themselves before making a sudden and quick escapes...


This bastard was trying to run!


You still had your left over crossbow, and you could still attempt to charge him... or perhaps you'll... let him go...?


You could almost see beads of sweat underneath the Ninja's face-mask as he kept charging up for an escape route....


What shall the two of you do?


As Mei gets herself back up onto her feet, she's barely able to swing her scythe downward sin front of her, expending a semi-decent amount of her Modifier's energy to create a barrier that immediately deflects the incoming arrows before one of them immediately shatters the barrier and misses Mei by scant centimeters!


However, luckily for Mei the clone's attention is distracted now as she aims her bow upwards into the air around at several of the friendly gods that were appearing left and right to assist and defending herself!


Taking the opportunity you charge forwards and swing your scythe at the clone's right arm, just barely missing as they're forced to engage with you one again, equipping a sickle and clashing with your scythe again, managing to hook their blade with yours and hold it again, looking you directly in the eyes... their furious anger was beginning to wane as they realize the direness of the situation with all of the allied gods showing up and around to assist....


She let out an Angry, and uncontrolled grunt and yell!


Weak... You think...


The God wrestles your scythe upwards in a fit of rage in an attempt to bounce right off you a second time, but you've already learned your lesson as you quickly hop back, and use the extended range of your scythe to slash the blade of your scythe downwards, empowering it with some of your modifier's energy, and swiftly end the battle as you hear a clean slice and the clone's hit!


A moment of silence overcomes the both of you, shutting out the sounds of the outside world around the both of you as the Clone looks at you in horror and surprise as they ball backwards onto the ground... An entire arm dissipated into Energy which you quickly absorbed with your Modifier as the clone sat up, looking at her missing entire left arm, bleeding bight green specks of energy upwards into the air... and then back up to you... gaze filled with hatred and disgust...


It was... quite unsettling for you in all honesty.... seeing a clone of yourself sitting on the ground in front of you, defeated and bleeding with a missing arm, looking up at you with that gaze...


In their other hand they began to charge energy up... but looking around you knew it wasn't going to be an offensive attack... but rather an attempt to escape....


She didn't say a word to you as she kept charging up energy, doing nothing to stop you...


They fought well but, their anger and hatred was uncontrolled... They still had much to learn about the art of the Hunt... They misunderstood you, and let their anger blind them, leaving them at a swift defeat...


Foolish....


You could end the god right now if you wanted to... but it seems you also had the choice of sparing them... likely to return more powerful in the future probably....


What shall you do...?


As for Seih, Thorn, and Danielle and Koya...


The God laughed through the tortured Vizara's voice as he easily countered the pony who charged directly at him, the bright red blade clashing against the cylinder, but the moment Seih's focus is taken off of Thorn's conjured weapon, the Katana slices it clean through, the god laughing insultingly as he kicks Thorn away once again, leaving the pony just about weaponless and bruised...


As the God Turns Vizara to face the beckoning Danielle, Seih begins his mental attack upon the God which startles him.....


"What the FUCK!"


The God shouts involuntarily as Seih mentally begins to wrestle with the being mentally!


"Back off you miserable mortal!"


Seih feels himself get mentally punched, kicked, and even suplexed as the God finally releases his hold on the injured and tortured Lizard wizard!


A fiery, dark ghost like being rises upwards out of the poor Vizara's body, allowing the lizard wizard to immediately drop unconcious from the trauma, The Spirit aiming itself towards Danielle as she beckoned it, immediately darting towards the Woman's body, before being blocked by the invisible manifestation that is Koya with Seih's help!


The horrifying ghost like god openly growled terrifyingly at the sudden blockade it encountered, as it began head putting itself against the Barrier around Danielle created by Seih and Koya!


Every time it attempted to posses Danielle it felt like both Seih and Koya were getting slammed in their faces by a large metal hammer, Barely able to hold on anymore before the God suddenly stopped it's assault... It quickly shot itself upwards to dodge a blast of magic from a nearby friendly god!


Dodging several times before letting out a ghastly chuckle, no longer augmented by Vizara's voice...


"Hehehe... Fine then... You may win this battle... But we will return..."


With that, the ghastly form of the God began dissipating away... Leaving all three of you in the company of approaching friendly gods, and noticing the stragglers trying to escape, as well as the issue of Seih (and the large amount of energy he spent alone defending Danielle long enough) and Koya having immense mental/spiritual headaches, and the in dire need of medical attention Vizara in the grass nearby...


Seeing the fights around the three of you and whoever else was around (GROUP A), what shall you do?


As Byron slams his fists into the ground, Ice forms all around to the God's sudden surprise, and as soon as the patches are ready Byron expends a lot of his own energy and fatigue in attempt to skewer the god! He raises his arms up to defend himself as several of the spikes manage to penetrate the god partially forcing him stuck into place!


However, it does not stop him from letting out his blast of fire!


Izhane doesn't bother to jump out of the way, The God Blasts a rage filled torrent of blue fire directly onto the salamander!


The searing blue god fire immediately wasting away the protective shield elixir, and the intensity of the flames burning away most of Izhanes cloths and crossbow within seconds as the fire made even him feel a horrible burn sensation all over his body as the god ceases his blast and looks at Izhane, surprised to see the fire-salamander still alive after the blast of fire!


Left only what feels like booty shorts and damage satchel on the ground, strap completely burnt away, Izhane keeps his focus despite the horrendous burning feel and shaking off his incinerated cloths...


The God Struggles above Byron and quickly breaks himself free from the skewers of ice that impaled him, not even bothering to patch up the several holes Byron created in him, energy bleeding out and upwards from his body!


Izhane stumbles as the God rushes right over towards him after it breaks free from the ice, slashing with deadly furious claws at the lizard as he's knocked down, and scramble to his satchel on his knees, desperately reaching into the bag and pulling out a glass vial filled with hot black smoke and chucking it directly into the God's face!


With a large puff of suffocating blast smoke exploding and blinding Izhane and the God, the salamander is able to crawl out of the smoke quickly, coughing as he dragged his satchel with him....


Soon enough, the God -ROARED-, blasting the thick smoke screen away in an instant, wings spread fully outwards, more furious then ever... But instead of immediately attacking again, the God looks around him and the two of you, surrounding all of you were friendly gods who were aiming their weapons at the Blue dragon god...


But before any of them were able to fire upon the blue god, he let out a reluctant, but loud snarl as he immediately charged up energy within his hand, and immediately disappeared away, far upwards into space, appearing to have known not to fight one to many...


Leaving the two of you to survey the remaining enemies around and the stragglers....


What shall the two of you do...?


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


( @creepingShade ) Errg: Grabbing into the wound, your RIP your searing blade from the beast's flesh, doing your best to dodge the incoming spines and stabbing back down again into shell! Repeating this process, over and over climbing with the wounds and your blade, each stab the creature loosing more blood and feeling it starting to loose, while you're doing your damndest to avoid being skewered or eaten by the upper snake like half.


You quickly reach the absolutely top of the beast, and proceed to stand on it's top, covered in it's almost tasty yellow blood, raising your sword upwards, and SLAM it downwards into the very top of the beast!


With one final scream, you seem to hit a vital point within the beast, or it was just finally giving in, you begin to feel the beast collapsing upon it's legs as the unexpected loss of support suddenly flings you forwards off the beast unexpectedly! And you land with a hard thud on the nearby grassy part of the island closer to the pound as the beast finally collapses, sword still remaining and searing at the top of it's main spider like mass, the serpentine head falls and crushes a couple nearby palm-trees with a heavy thump....


You sigh and breath heavily... What a good fight you think!


...


Although... that was quite a quick finish... almost as if it was faking it....


What shall you do?


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


( @Veles Lek @Bluesunnyday @aquaInferno @Ged Merrilin @Paradox Turtle ) Kalos, Maya, Adam, Coatl, Lupa, and Ged:


As Elijah kept the the Angel of Death like god at bay, bright red sparks flying everywhere as Coatl slivered underneath the two of them and behind the god while Kalos did his sweating damndest to keep the undead around them at bay!


Elijah saw Coatl slither and stand up behind the god and immediately grappled as best she could onto the scythe to keep the god from responding with her other hand, pulling the blade down farther to give the skeleton a silent snarl!


Coatl immediately plunges his flameberge into the God's back with a clean shot, the blade shooting right through the god as Elijah disengages and backs off from the god....


Although, the three of you horrifyingly notice, Coatl's blade seemed to have done nothing as the three of you are forced to fight oncoming undead once again....


But as the God looks around, seeing the many gods suddenly appearing around and fighting, he does not attack as his bone scythe transforms back into a staff as he simply gazes at the three of you, Coatl's sword still stuck in it's back, unaffected... looking at the three of you... menacingly


The undead all around still do their best to attack the three of you... What shall you do?


As the being of light fights against Aundry, focusing on him rather then Lupa, she begins circling around the being of light as it continues to focus it's lasers upon Aundry, each one reflecting off of small warrior's magical armor as his sword never hits the being either...


Solidifying as much as your form as possible, you charge from behind, leap and bounce off the back of the being, feeling a mighty burn upon contact with your paws! Shoving it forwards right past Aundry, forcing it to scatter it's body before forming right behind him!


Landing back a bit of a ways away yourself however, you notice dark spots of where you landed on the being and the burns upon your feet...


It seems you are able to affect the god, but not without a bit of a price upon yourself....


Looking at Aundry, who stood defensively in front of you towards the being... You thought to yourself... is there maybe some way you could pass on some of your powers to Aundry for him to be able to attack the being...?


But it seemed it would also be wise to hide behind him, as the being seems to be picking up what was going on, readying beams of light to be shot directly at you!


What shall you do?


Adam seems to do nothing, as Ged does what he can, playing his harp to a slower tune, creating bends of light within the air all around for it, but unfortunately for him, the barbarian doesn't fall for it at first as he goes directly forward for you! Forcing you to drop to the ground and roll as a Massive, ghostly axe attempts to take off your head!


But you continue playing as you can, creating more distortions in the light around the Barbarian, this time fooling him now as he keeps swinging around in air as Ged frantically backs away, trying to lead the Barbarian to the Knight trying to defend himself from the onslaught of bullets being taken by the two assisting Marauders.


And Sure enough, Ged's plan works, as there's a loud clash of metal and a crunching noise as Ged dissipates the bends of light and Both him and Adam see the barbarian's axe firmly stuck inside of the his companions shoulder!


But they have no time to fix the problem as Cass and Kim continue gunning them down as best as they could before several, deadly -click- -click- -click- sounds coem form both fo their weapons.


"Need to Re-load! Keep them off of us!"


Cass shouted to the both of you as the Barbarain apologizes to his wounded friend and getting his axe unstuck, seeming to have taken quite the chunk out of the ghostly knight!


They immediately turn to the two Marauders who've been a great help to the both of you, weapons ready and charging towards them, even with the ghostly knight god seeming to be severely weakened, they still need your help!


What shall the two of you do?


Maya begins blasting what she can at the glitchy robot god! The Flashbangs managing to keep ti from charging directly into you for an attack as it kept splitting itself apart to dodge each bullet coming at it as you back up yourself to keep some distance.


but with every shot the God keeps getting closer and closer, readying what looks like a corrupted and jittering tentacle to attack down on you, it shoots upwards into the air and heads for a direct line right about above you, and immediately plunging downwards onto you until it suddenly stops right above your face mask, and a distorted and pained screech emits from the God!


Looking forward, you see Rohkuul has come to assist, and took the opportunity to give a nasty slice through of the tentacle as it pixelates out of exsistance, and looking around, you see some other allied gods have taken on fighting the boar for him!


The Freindly god begins to defend himself with his bright energy claymore, and calls out to you!

"Mortal! Neither of us can defend forever! Do something to distract this bastard again or would at least trap or hit it!"

What shall you do?


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


( @hector212121 ) Roy: "No... I bet you they would be smart enough to know not to... well... i guess, know, hackings, and stuff... I don't know..."


"W-well, off with you then i guess.... J-just uhh, try not to make the wrong enemies this time..."


He attempts to tell you re-assuringly...


"I-i'll be keeping and eye out... hopefully... this is gonna feel weird so... uhh get ready.... and... good luck..."


Preparing yourself and hopping back into your armor, making sure all of your gear was on you.


You begin to feel yourself falling backwards again, straight out of the crude workshop and go into a freefall of darkness...


Looking upwards through your cracked visor, you see and feel yourself being dropped towards a small grassy space, using the momentum to flip yourself around, you land with a great rumble as you land, the suit taking most of the shock as you look up and around, no longer in whatever space the god had you inside of... You were quite a ways from the large camp you first fell into now, maybe at least half or a fourth of a kilometer away from the immense shield that seemed to be covering the place now, all around it you could see beings of all types, fighting so suddenly against each-other around it, almost like a war-zone... and you were on the outskirts of it...


"Is that another one of those fanatics trying to defend that Elder God?!"


You hear a voice behind you, immediately turning around to see two, heavily armored, but skinny looking spearmen. Both of them had similar armor designs and helms which you could not see into, taking on what looks like ancient stone of some sorts, the only difference between them were the different colored patterns on their armor, green and yellow.


Their spear tips looked to be made out of pure energy that looked to be drawing from a godly feeling Aura around them!


"No, it's mortal, but we should kill it anyways, that way we can say we at least fought in this foolish attack!" The blue one responded.


"Agreed brother! Prepare to accept your untimely death then, mortal!" The one in yellow threatened, as they formed a two person formation, pointing their energy tipped spears at you and begin approaching!


Their armor looked though, but only maybe because they were stone, you may be able to chip or at least shred it down in some way!


But the damaged systems in your right leg would prevent you from any sort of quick actions, but it seemed you'd still be able to back off normally as if you were without armor (or drugs mind you, which you feel have now worn off...), but those spear tips looked mighty dangerous... but you could probably take hits from anything else...


What shall you do?

[Lyro]

A headache is unpleasant for anybody. A headache induced by an all-powerful deity even more so. But for a Keir, there is little that is more painful.


Seih began to gasp raggedly the moment the god started returning his attacks, wanting to scream but stopping himself to save his energy. As the god attacked his barrier, his gasps turned to a low, sustained wheeze. Only the equally overwhelming fear that had swept over him and Koyaanis's assistance managed to keep him sufficiently focused to continue to protect Danielle. The moment the attacks ceased, Seih dropped face-first on to the ground, neither hearing the god's parting words nor seeing the approaching friendly gods.


At the very edge of consciousness, Seih feels his mind drifting apart. Thoughts come and go as the pain sweeps through his mind, destroying and unravelling everything in its wake. All too aware of the danger of falling into a trance at this time. Desperate to maintain awareness, he holds on to the last part of himself that has remained mostly intact, and opens his eyes - both now brilliantly electric blue.


He opens his mouth to say something, but is stopped by a racking cough for a few seconds. As it subsides, he wipes the corner of his mouth and notices some blood on his hand. He stares at it for a while, vaguely puzzled, before smiling. "Well, that's not very good, is it."


Still staring at the blood on his hand, Seih gets up, groaning as his head spins. Trying to minimize movement, he slowly swivels his head to and fro and spots the nearby Danielle, as well as the approaching gods. His eyes narrow and he begins to walk forward, but the headaches intensify as he does so and he ends up collapsing back on to the ground, eyes closed and fingers clenched with pain.

 

[Ferociousfeind]

Misfortune uses his modifier again to create a throwing knife and... well, throws it towards the knight god, in an attempt to grab his attention for a moment, or turn the tides of battle somehow.

 

[Shadow Dancer]

Marcus ran towards some kind of laser firing knight fighting two others in attempt to help defeat the knight. He saw three foot soldiers suddenly charge in from nowhere and fight the laser knight. Marcus used their distraction to find a gap in the armor as he ran in positioning himself behind the laser knight and finding a sufficient gap between the chest piece and the helmet he raised his own blade and one he got withing range jumped up to put as much power into the blow and plunged the sword towards the weak spot hoping that it would at least buy enough time for his new allies to recover for a bit.

 

[Thorn of Discord]

#nailedit "We dit it! Whoo!" Thorn tried to sit up, but something did not feel right at all.


"Yup, broke a couple ribs, happy days."


And plenty of bruising. And that possible concussion. Oh, don't forget that time you were lifted by your throat. "Don't be a baby, we're fine...ish." This time he successfully sat up and spotted Seih. (For some reason, he wasn't too keen on fighting another god today.) <Nice job Seih, you alright over there?> He looks different, a new hairdo maybe?

 

[Lyro]

Seih's brow furrows as he hears Thorn's thought, and he raises his head to look back at Thorn, opening his eyes as he does so. He stares at him in silence for a couple of seconds before responding.


<Do I look "okay" to you?>


<I just wrestled with the strongest creature I've ever encountered in my file.>


<He drained the strength from my body, then I broke my body to save my mind and yours, just so he could proceed to break my mind immediately afterwards like one crumples up a piece of paper.>


<No, I'm not okay.>


<So go talk with the idiot who shares your brain instead of bothering me; just leave me alone.>


Seih closes his eyes again and curls up in a ball.


Thorn blinked reconsidering this.


<Sorry, I must have missed that.>


We did tell him to go brain to brain with a god. Thorn wasn't too sure how to handle this situation so he scooches over towards Seih. <Did good though.>


Feeling Thorn approaching him, Seih quickly leaps to his feet, arms raised and eyes narrowed.


"Stay back!" he cries. "Don't come any closer. I told you to leave me alone, so listen to your betters when they give you an order!" Seih stops himself as another coughing fit interrupts him for a few seconds, before turning to look at Thorn again. "And if you're so desperate to be helpful, go find us a medic instead of harassing me - we could both use one."


"Er, alright." Whoo boy, I say we find a doctor. "Oww oww... bucking hell." Thorn rises unsteadily. It hurts to breathe, that's not fair. Thorn ambles off in search of medical help, glancing back at Seih. MEDIC! MEEEEDIC!


Seih's expression turns to annoyance as he watches Thorn walk away yelling. With some effort, he reaches out to Thorn's mind and temporarily shuts down most of his pain receptors, hopefully letting him breathe more easily. His task done, Seih lets himself collapse on the ground once more, staying at the very limit of a trance state.

 

[Thorn of Discord]

I spy with my little eye...a salamander! And one of those human things! Thorn spotted a pair that weren't actively fighting anything, so he worked his way to them. "Hey...are either...of you a doctor...or something?" Breathe, damn it! Breathe!


The salamander with most of his clothes burned away raises a hand weakly, but he looks to be in pain and very confused. Not outwardly injured, though. "I'm a medic... Well, alchemist, but they stuck me in the med tent... Hurt?"


Broken ribs, organ damage, pretty sure he's got a concussion...


"Oh thank the goddess...yeah, I'm hurt, but so's my friend...." Thorn pointed in the general direction of Seih. He has no clothes, that doesn't seem odd to you? Thorn's head swam but he managed to stay awake. "Long as he can help, it doesn't"


"Who're you talking to...?" Izhane reaches for what remains of his satchel, his hands shaking a little. Fuck, is this what burning felt like? Salamander-kin weren't supposed to burn, what the fuck was that? "I probably have some healing potions yet, unless the vials exploded in the fire. If they did, I'm gonna have to find that shop back home and let that salesman know his glass of lies..."





He's onto us! Every personality for themselves!


"Uhh, no one. My friend...he...hurt his mind I guess... can you fix that?"


"His mind? I'm not really a psychiatrist but I can see what I can do. General healing potion would most likely heal any psychical harm to the brain and body."


"Good enough for me." SHUT UP NURSE, I'm a doctor. I know what I'm doing. Thorn had to bite back his tongue before looking insane again."C'mon, he's not too far....I'm Thorn by the way." Thorn Hobbled in Seih's direction.


Yo Seih! We found some to help, just ignore his naked-ness.

 

[creepingShade]

Seih groans as he hears Thorn's thoughts pierce his brain. This had better not be another waste of my time. Seih's eyes open up again and he looks up at the figure of Izhane towering over him. Reflexively, he backs away, raising his arms above him warily, and stares at the salamander in silence.


Izhane waves awkwardly at the small person. He wasn't used to being bigger than anything. "Ah, so you're Thorn's injured friend, yes? Well luckily there was a healer just a few yards from you guys, also getting his ass kicked by asshole gods. What exactly is the problem? He said something about your mind?"


Seih grits his teeth together.


<My mind is my own.>


<My own to suffer, my own to heal.>


"My body is what you are needed for. I have pushed it beyond its capacities, and am internally hemorrhaging in multiple locations. My blood pressure is also too high, though I am pushing it down. And something is wrong with my eyesight - I see double, and everything is blurry." Seih takes a deep breath. "And, like Thorn, I seem to have some trouble breathing. Unlike Thorn, these injuries are self-inflicted, through chemical overdose." Seih produces his flask for Izhane to examine and looks him steadfastedly in the eyes. "I will live, and I can block out some of the pain. Attend to Thorn first, he seems to be in the more critical situation."


"I'm going to need to get a sample of this stuff later, so I can know how exactly to cure your overdose. But a higher end healing potion should help both of you tremendously." Izhane rummages through his ruined satchel until he finds two vials filled with a bright red liquid with a slight glow. He hands one to Seih, and goes to give one to Thorn as well but horses don't have hands. So he pours the potion into a sponge and has Thorn put it in his mouth. "I'm not exactly a doctor, and this won't be getting you back up to one hundred percent, but it'll pull you back together enough that you won't be dying from your wounds. I recommend you get to the med tent as quickly as you can, and rest."


Seih grabs the potion swiftly, eyes it briefly, then takes a small sip of it.

 

[aquaInferno]

His blade did nothing yet, but Coatl knew what he was up against. He'll just have to tear it to shreds and quickly too, it looked like things around them were getting hairy.


Gripping tightly onto his blade with his upper half, Coatl commands his lower half to coil up once more like a spring and release the tension shortly after to launch into the air. Hopefully tearing the god in half all the way up from his torso to his skull. A split skull can't be good for anyone, even if they were a god.

 

[Illusionus]

Having expended a large amount of energy creating the giant skewers, Byron has a tough time removing his arms from them. After a few tries, he is able to free himself from the ice and struggles back to his feet, leaning on one of the large ice structures. He looks around and sees that the lizard man had apparently run off to the horse and psychic being. Wait. He had that shielding potion. Maybe he might have something that could help me. His legs weak, Byron truggles to stand up on his own, but he is able to hobble over to the Izhane and Seih. As he arrives to the pair, he nearly collapses, but catches himself on the lizard's shoulder.

 

[Bonzo]

Danielle feels the backlash of the psychic effort around her as a sharp pain - but as she looks up to see the gods breaking and fleeing any discomfort is quickly forgotten.


Right on time.


At. bloody. last. ...


Koyaanis?


Koyaanis stop pretending to be dead this instant. Danielle could feel him nursing his bruises somewhere at the fringes of her mind.

Oh go on, let me. Just for a minute.

Danielle gave a pointed silence, taking in the still dangerous surroundings.

Fine.

I'll let you die when we're back at camp, okay? Her token gesture of appreciation made, Danielle followed Koyaanis' pained direction to make their way over to the collapsed Vizara, tearing strips from her uniform to make bandages.


Vizara was mostly innocent in this.


I know, you don't have to tell me why you're helping him despite what he is.


And we did sort of shoot him.


I shot him. Don't feel guilt on my behalf - it's irritating. I felt fine firing on a threat and I'd feel fine leaving him here and not being killed myself. If you could stop disrespecting my values and clean conscience... ад, what's the point. What are you doing with that bandage? Let me - I can actually use my xenobiology studies for once. She opened up her first aid pouch and got to work. Wistfully Danielle wondered if this was the last time she'd wear a UGC uniform as she tore the sleeve into strips. That part of her life felt so far away now.


One of us, one of us...


Shut up!

 

[SnakyDragon]

Jaik doesn't even ponder his actions; he's in the heat of battle. Making moral decisions gets assassins killed.


And he's killed many a person who's tried to escape him before. This one just happened to be immortal.


What do immortal gods need in order to escape? Energy. You expend energy by "working" or moving, so in order to keep him from recharging, I have to keep him moving and working, constantly expending his energy to stay alive. This is now a battle of attrition that I can win.


Jaik takes out his crossbow and fires two shots, normal bolts, from it. Knowing the ninja's superior prowess will either bat away or dodge the bolts, his next brilliant move is to throw it at the ninja and charge behind the missile, Coils a step ahead and to the side of him.

 

[creepingShade]

Izhane nearly falls over when Byron leans on him. The salamander-kin was just a little over half Byron's size, and he was already struggling to keep himself together after that fight. He just wanted to curl up and sleep in a bonfire. Izhane groans in pain and looks up at the human trying to use him for support.


"And what's your damage? I saw that thing started trying to pummel you, but I couldn't really tell how well the shielding was holding up against that. How badly are you hurt?"





Izhane probably should see about healing himself, but he wanted to make sure everyone else was patched up first. He didn't really have too many healing potions left, so he didn't want to run out before the others were better.


----------------------------------------


Errg stabs the monster's core again, and again, and again, and then works on cutting the beast in half for good measure. He was tired, hungry, and pissed off so he didn't want to have to worry about fighting it again if this was a bluff. Once he feels confident that the spider-serpent-thing is dead, he rears his head back and shouts out to the sky.


"Land or sea, nothing stops Errg! I am the hunter, not the hunted! This is a warning to any other sea monsters hiding in the dead sea!"


Then the fishman starts cutting into the beast's flesh with his sword and fills himself up with the hot meat. Errg is a very happy fish.

 

[ChrisClark13]

Chris groans through the pain muttering as he loaded his sniper rifle and pulled himself to his knees, "Fuck my head hurts.. fuucccck ow."


He lines up a shot with the much much higher projectile velocity weapon on the knight's visor and takes the shot as soon as he can, getting two in if possible.

 

[Ged Merrilin]

Fishsticks, this is bad Ged thinks, Hec, I don't even know these guys' names, this is a terrible team. (puns :3) "Water guy, I hope you're preparing for a big attack, as you can probably see, we will need to to take out the Barbarian quickly, I think the gunmen have got the knight, and this isn't a fight I want to try to solo." Ged shouts as he tumbles and dodges the wide swings of the axes, almost completely unable to get in anything edgewise on the hulking giant over twice his height, but skillfully dodging his attacks.

 

[Paradox Turtle]

As the barbarian made his initial charge, Adam was aiming to shoot out the legs of this overgrown bull like so many past beast who trampled on Adam's beloved plant. He did not let loose his water as he notice a odd sight as the fur laden man swung after the harp playing comrade. Adam did not understand why such a thing happen, nor did he truly cared. He did appreciate the distraction as he was able to recollect the small bits of water left from Adam's first attack.


Gathering as much water as he could into his canteen, he began compressing the water. Not into an icy form but immensely pressed together with the invisible force of Adam's powers. Once the internal pressure of the canteen was adequate enough to blast though boulders, Adam caped the leather flask with a smooth icicle covered in spiral grooves. Taking subtle aim, Adam fired his highly pressured water stream straight at center mass of the boarish foe from behind.

 

[Lily Moriya]

Lupa quickly dashes to behind Aundry, making sure he is between him and the being of light.


She then lays her paws on his weapon, enchanting it with some of her darkness. The weapon glows with shadow.


"Try attacking him now, but please stand between him and me. I won't last very long against a direct attack from him."
