Noah landed. "Uff. So much traveling today." he then grinned. "It's been the best day in weeks!" he skipped inside the fortress.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" Came Corona's unmistakable voice.

Sotec rolled his eyes. "Corona," he answered, his voice laden with bemused sarcasm. "So nice to see you too." He followed behind Noah, not exactly looking forward to the coming confrontation - even if he was more or less used to it by now.

Noah had retreated to the corner, and Belak was 'protecting' him with his wings.
Corona was seething with rage. "I step out for five minutes, and you're not here! Then I find that your aura is no where nearby. THEN I FIND YOU WENT TO ANOTHER UNIVERSE!? We have more pressing issues here than in other Universes that can take care of themselves!"
Daniel was standing behind the sofa and putting his weight on the back of it and leaning. He really didn't want in on this. He saw Sotec. "Ah..." he whispered to him as he came in. "Would you please calm her down? or at least explain to her." He sighed. "Oh who am I kidding. Explain something to her? Haha."

Sotec flashed Daniel a wry grimace before turning back to Corona. "Actually, your majesty," he told her, stressing the last two words, "I believe we've got a very serious problem. One which will get here some time soon, I reckon." He stared the raging Time Demon Queen down.

Daniel ducked behind the sofa.
Corona paused long enough to digest what she heard. "Yes indeed! Punishment will be enforced as soon as I think of something well-fitting!" She obviously didn't understand Sotec at all...

Sotec buried his face in his palm. He wondered if he'd have more success with Remus. Filthy temper though the male ruler of Terra Prime might have, he sometimes displayed a bit more of a propensity to see sense than Corona. Still, he'd try one more time with her. "Corona," he said, uncharacteristic steel in his voice. "You're not understanding me. There is an ARMY. It is going around conquering universes. And we just ran afoul of who is probably its leader." He glared at her, willing her to get this for once. "We need to do something. More specifically, YOU need to do something to prepare, other than handing out punishments to the first person who crosses your path!" He was nearly shouting by the end.

Corona's face turned a shade of red that didn't seem possible. "How. Dare. You."
But Remus entered. "That's enough..." he seemed even more mad. he looked at Sotec and narrowed his eyes. "If you ever talk about her like that again..." he left his threat hanging as he passed him. "Alright. Now if some army is coming here... Then get outside." He left through the exit and took his place at the perimeter.
Corona followed, speechless.
Belak sighed. "I hate her, sometimes."
Noah blinked. "Yeah. I know what you mean." he got up and walked over to Solec. Belak followed.
Daniel got up. "I'll go get Zeak. You guys go and do what they say..." he went through the hallway to go and find Zeak.

Sotec stared after Remus and Corona, mouth a thin line. The thought suddenly occured to him that perhaps a change of management wouldn't be so terrible after all. Still, he dismissed that. These were his friends, however intolerable they could be somtimes; he couldn't turn his back on them, let alone betray them. He sighed. "Well, let's go," he heaved to Noah and Belak, striding out of the room after their two tempestuous rulers.

Noah and Belak nodded and walked out and joined Corona and Remus. they said nothing as they waited. It was only a few seconds before Zeak and Daniel joined them.
Daniel spoke. "Alright. So please share with us what you found out." he directed to Sotec, as he figured Noah would start talking about flowers or something.

Sotec frowned. "Not nearly as much as I'd like to have, actually," he admitted. "But," he forged on, before Corona couldn't explode at him once more, "What we do know is frightening enough. There's some sort of sorceror who calls himself Yamiken loose. Looked Japanese - before my time even, in fact." If probably not by too much... "Uses Darkness powers, it seems, although he's not an ordinary Dark Human - he seems to have emotions just fine." He grimaced. "Oh, and he's got a massive army with him. Their camp covered several square miles. Plus they didn't seem entirely... human. The point," he addressed this to Remus and Corona in particular, "Is that they seem dangerous - very much so. And if they caught that we were from here..." He left the sentence hanging.

Remus frowned. He seemed impatient. "Hmph. Well you do realize this is entirely your fault." He pointed out. "We're only seven in number. How are we going to beat them? We'll be killed!"
Zeak lifted his sunglasses. "Yo. Why don't cha just go ask Tran to come and help us? Void's always been da bomb." he put his sunglasses back in place. "Better yet. I'll go get 'em." He disapeared before Remus could respond.
Corona got mad again, but not as bad as before. "he just left us! Ugh! We're on the verge of being attacked and all's he can think about are his otherworld friends. Bleh."
Belak, Daniel, and Noah held their tongues.

"Actually, he has a point," Sotec countered Corona, although he was making a marked effort to remain calm now - although whether this was due to Remus' threat more than simply a desire not to cause in-fighting was entirely apparent. "Tranductus is powerful, and we'll probably need all the help we can get." He had evidently decided to ignore Remus' accusation.

Before Remus could explode on Sotec, Daniel jumped in between them. "I just thought of something." He paused to make sure Remus was listening. He was. "Perhaps we should fight this battle at the Nexus? I'd rather not have our world invaded. We could simply stop them at the nexus." He wondered if anyone would agree.
To their shock, Corona agreed. "Oh yes! That's a fine idea!" She was actually pleased with it.
Remus wasn't about to disagree with Corona, so he reluctantly agreed as well.
Belak nodded in approval, but Noah said. "That's probably a better idea anyways. Zeak would have trouble getting back here if Yamiken ws at the alter on his return trip."

Sotec was in agreement as well. "May I?" he inquired dryly to Remus and Corona, preparing to cast a transfer spell.

Post by Skylos on Oct 22, 2008 15:11:50 GMT -5
Remus nodded. It's not like he could even travel through Universes without help...
The others waited patiently for the transfer.

Without further ado, Sotec cast the transfer spell and the group appeared at the bottom of stairs leading up to the altar. And who should be waiting for them at said altar?
"Well then, I believe some more introductions are necessary," called Yamiken down to them. His army was thus far nowhere to be seen, but he was accompanied by Ina, who was watching the group intently but said nothing.

Noah took his place next to Sotec, and Belak followed and stood on the other side of him.
Daniel cleared his throat and walked in front of the entire group, as a leader should. His black cloak hung loosely. He spoke. "I presume that you're the one in charge, then?"
Remus stared at Yamiken, relentlessly.
Corona seemed more interested in Ina.

Yamiken nodded. "Correct," he murmured to Daniel. He then turned his attention on Remus and gave a slightly patronising chuckle. "Such a stare! One would think you ruled both Heaven and Earth!" he mocked.
Sotec cleared his throat. "Remus, Corona, Belak, Daniel... this would be Yamiken," he told his companions, running a hand across his hair rather agitadedly. This can't end well...
Ina raised an eyebrow in response to Corona's attention, but still didn't speak a word.

Remus gave a slightly amused looked. "Noah would have said Hell."
Noah chuckled. Remus wasn't always mean. He could be quite funny on occasion...
Belak nodded to him. "A pleasure," He said, which got him curious looks, but he continued. "to meet someone of the same aura type." he finished.
Corona lost interest in Ina and focused her attention to Yamiken, now.
Daniel sighed and continued. "I underst-"
With an increase of energy, Tranductus and Zeak appeared next to the group. Zeak grinned. "Yo. Sorry I'm late. Whadda I miss?" he gave a cooky grin.
A look of surprise went over Tranductus's face when he saw Yamiken. "Ah. The man from before." he nudged Zeak. "This is your problem?"
Daniel glared slighty at being interrupted, but continued. "I understand that we have a problem that needs resolving."

Yamiken snorted to Remus and smiled slightly at Belak before responding to Daniel and Tranductus. "Oh, no problem necessarily," he told them lightly. "Put simply, I want your world. You can keep running it for all I care so long as you follow orders when I give them, but if you refuse to go along quietly I'm afraid I'm going to have to destroy to you." As usual, he smiled while saying it as though he were merely announcing the weather.
Sotec's eyebrows went up. This man certainly was... cocky? Ambitious? Arrogant? Probably all of those. He kept silent, waiting to see how Remus and Corona would respond... well, he knew how Corona was likely to respond, and he could hazard an educated guess as to how Remus would too. Tranductus he decided was the real wild card here, as was whether or not Yamiken would consider him a threat. The Void Demon was incredibly powerful, but evidently he was known to Yamiken, and the latter hadn't batted an eyelid at his arrival...

Daniel frowned deeply. "I don't think that will work out very well. Our world does not welcome leaders. We maintain ourselves by providing for each other. There's no room for you, I'm afraid."
Remus and Corona appeared to be struggling to say something, but their mouths weren't opening. On a closer look, it appeared that a gag of shadow was keeping them from speaking. Daniel apparently had done this while he had been talking to Yamiken.
Tranductus frowned. "You had better not destroy them. Well, two of them more than others." he looked at Belak and Noah before looking back at Yamiken.
Daniel waved his hand. "Enough. No one is going to destroy anyone." he seemed adamant about that.

"Oh, those two have nothing to fear from me," Yamiken waved away Tranductus' comment. "I'm not willing to open up that can of worms just yet." He then went back to Daniel. "Is that so?" he responded dryly to the original comment. "Well, I'm afraid they're going to have to make room. If not now, then when I have the rest of the universes at my back." He seemed entirely serious - well, Yamiken's ambition being what it was, he was entirely serious.
Sotec at this point also entered the conversation. "He's right, Yamiken," he told the warlord stiffly. "You won't be welcome on Terra Prime. Not now, not ever. And not just from us. No one on our world will accept you for an instant." I don't believe the ego of this guy... I just hope he doesn't have enough to back it up.

Daniel smiled. "Every Universe." Was his only comment. He sounded very skeptical. I suppose everyone has their own goal in life...no matter how proposterous it sounds.
Noah and Belak knew that they were being talked about, and the former didn't like it as much. "I'd like to see you try..." He muttered.
Tranductus chuckled. "It's really a shame that you won't be able to fulfill your mission of taking all of the Universes." he seemed quite confident that this was so. So confident, that he laughed.

Yamiken raised an eyebrow at Tranductus. "Oh? And why would that be?" he asked bemusedly.
|

Post by Skylos on Oct 22, 2008 16:28:02 GMT -5
Tranductus took this opportunity to walk to the foot of the stairs. "Because, my power-hungering friend, the Universe that I am from can only be visited by Unique Souls. So...You'll never get there. Unless I am mistaken..." he trailed off to see if his assumptions proved to be true.

"Oh, that." Yamiken shrugged. He looked almost relieved, as if he'd been expecting far worse. "Well, naturally I'll have to exempt that one until I find a... loophole, shall we say." He laughed before turning back to Daniel and the others. "Anyway. You may well be skeptical, but Sotek and Noah have seen my army. Let me assure you its capabilities far exceed even what they would appear to be at first sight." He folded his arms. "Now... answer? Do we have an arrangement? Or am I going to have to crush you too?"

Post by Skylos on Oct 22, 2008 16:42:14 GMT -5
Tranductus shrugged. "There are locked Universes too, of course..."
Daniel turned to Noah. "How big was it?"
Noah frowned. "Miles of soldiers."
Daniel turned around and faced Yamiken. "We have no deal. If you think you can crush us, then prove it." he said, challenging him.
Noah boldly went forward. "I bet I could take you!" He grinned.
Daniel's eyebrows shot up and turned his head. "Noah! Don't be foolish. Let someone older handle this."
Tranductus frowned. "Oh no yo-"
Noah glared. "Oh shush. You're barely older than me, Danny." His nickname completely quelled Daniel's sense of authority. He took his place at the bottom of the stairs. "How about a game, Yami? We fight one-on-one. The Winner gets terra 000."

Yamiken watched this exchange with interest before settling into a confident smile. "Very well," he purred to Noah. "Where do we do it?"

Post by Skylos on Oct 22, 2008 16:48:08 GMT -5
Noah replied. "Here. Now." He snapped his left fingers and his Light Robe appeared on his body. The blue parts seemed to glow like neon. His eyes had turned yellow at the same time. "Give me some space, everyone."
Reluctantly, everyone moved back. There was no canceling the engagement now...

Yamiken unsheatehd his katana with relish and handed the scabbard to Ina, who then also stepped back. Yamiken himself then surrounded himself with his own dark aura. His eyes, which were usually a deep shade of blue, now turned violet. He then took a ready bose and beckoned with his free hand to Noah, smiling slightly in anticipation.
