Rem honestly wasnt sure what to expect from this. Antara just showed up and started demanding stuff, then suddenly started being friendly to the point of insisting they be friends. It was....really odd. Still none of this really effected him, but he was still interested in seeing how else this would turn out.

Corona rested her chin on her knuckles. "Really? What's with the sudden change of heart?" She purred, obviously a tad amused by this. "I mean, I've been nothing but nice to you in years past, but you've always ended up being disgusted with me, for some reason I cannot even fathom!" She scoffed lightly. As if anyone could dislike her (and get away with it)!

"I may change my mind as I please!" Antara said as if it were obvious. "I am the Queen of my race, after all. And a queen needs no reasons for anything." Suddenly, Antara's throne dissipated and she was set gently down to the floor, along with Royce. She stood now, arms folded. "Do you accept my friendship or not?"

Corona ran her other hand lightly through her hair, and over her right ear, then chuckled lightly to herself. "My dear Annie, it is you who is finally accepting my offer of friendship. But, never late than never, I suppose." In Corona-French, that meant 'Yes, you nitwit'. "I take it you finally grew tired of that Blood Demon's company. It is for the best, after all. She is nothing but a nuisance."

Oh, Antara had discovered just how terrible Kagome was several years ago, now. The image of the last time she was with her still burned at the back of her mind on occasion. But she's had Royce's loyalty ever since and Kagome hasn't shown her face to her again as well. "Something we very well agree upon," Antara's lips curled into a smile. "If I could I'd have that wench's Power in my possession," Or in other words, she'd like to kill Kagome. "Ah! What am I saying? Of course I could! But lucky for her, she's not worth my time."
And so the proclamation of friendship was made. Would this change things between Antara and the fortress group?

Maybe!
"Good." Corona then said, giving a single nod of the head; she approved. "I don't think she's worth anyone's time, honestly. At least she hadn't been doing anything annoying the past couple years. It's kind of odd, but I guess that's what happens when she decides to date a Light Human." Corona then laughed. "Oh. Maybe she settled down and became docile with...feelings!"
Remus cringed a bit. It wasn't exactly a secret that Corona was a tad... mean. But did she have to talk about those two so loudly when either of them could snap and kill them? He still didn't know if Noah was of a sound mind, and he certainly didn't want Corona to ruin the peace.

"I highly doubt that," Antara said. "All I can say is if she values her life she will not cross paths me again in this lifetime!"
"If she did, I'd have her head before she even had the chance to look at you, my queen," Royce said out of nowhere.
"And take away my kill? Now, Royce. You should know better than that."
"I-I'm sorry," the anger in Royce's face was replaced with apology. "That woman just makes me so emotional for you. Forgive me."
Halo rolled her eyes. Oye. That was almost painful to behold...

Ashi was silent when Kyle went on his pacing rampage. She knew he wouldn't like it. He needed to blow off the steam. Then, when he stormed off, Ashi, alarmed, jumped up. "Woah! Kyle! Where are you going? What are you doing?" She followed after him, catching up to him. "Hey!" She tried to grab at his arm. "I'm going to find Daniel!" He was marching forward so fast and so determinedly now that particles of water were breaking from his skin and shooting forward, as if he was going to devolve into water vapor at any second, flying through the air. "I can't believe he would allow this, I can't believe anyone would allow it!!" However justified or right he may be, he was certainly no longer reasonable.

That physically pained Rem to watch. And he thought Halo made him feel less of a man, but this. That was so spineless. Unless shes so much more powerful then he is and he fears her, that was just....simply sad. He was also disgusted by the combo that is Noah and Kagome, but this was more so on his mind of what off put him. He took Halo's hand for a moment, but it was to awkward to speak right now.

Skylos then whispered to Halo. "You know, every time I visit here, I feel like I'm on the set of some soap opera. I mean, is this their normal every day life? It's so weird..."
Remus then had to comment, unable to contain himself after THAT display. "I don't think killing her would be wise. That Light Human would slice you into a million pieces as a result..." He crossed his arms. "He's already a nut; you want to make him worse?"
Corona showed a slight grimace at the thought...
"You're...talking about Noah, right...? Skylos then inquired. "Uh. I didn't realize he was back...or...whatever happened...I guess." Skylos only really knew some of the details of what happened. He knew the group here had had many trials due to Yamiken. I wish I could make him pay for all he's done, but I'm just not strong enough to face that man on my own... That, and he had some respect for the man. It was...complicated...as were practically all of Skylos' relationships.
"Long story short, yes." Remus noted. He really didn't want to get into the specifics. "We just typically don't see him around much, except on missions."

"Kyle, I appreciate the thought, I really do. But there's just nothing you can do to change it..." She kept after him since he wasn't stopping. "Noah isn't even around all the time anyway. It's not that bad..." Ashi had the terrible feeling that Kyle was going to end up doing something very stupid.
Halo nodded her head in agreement to Skylos. "Tell me about it..."
"Hmmph. The Slime one has a point," Antara said with a roll of her eyes. "I do suppose me also killing off the Blood Demon's boyfriend would be a violation of our friendship."
"Madame, I'm sorry to cut in, but might I remind you there was something you meant to do today," Royce interjected. "The time is nigh."
Antara frowned. "You're right, Royce. It is time I bid you all farewell. For now." She smiled mischievously.

"I prefer Sludge..." Remus noted, grumpily. "Killing him would only make things worse." Remus then explained. "Regardless of friendship vows, it really would complicate things..." Remus didn't seem to want to explain his reasoning on that one, but one thing was certain: his eyes had looked away as he said it, meaning he just knew something.
Corona frowned at Remus, then shrugged. She turned her head towards Antara. "So soon? Oh well, if thou must." She smiled and waved. "Have a good one, Annie."

"Oh, I shall," Antara said. "And you shall be seeing me again, dear cousin." Without anything else, Antara and Royce then both sank into their own shadows and were gone.
"Thank goodness that didn't go bad!" Zoe heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought I'd sent a battle your way!"
"That was just weird..." Halo shook her head.

"Im.....pretty sure Remus and the dear queen Corona here can handle themselves if the did come for a fight." Rem said. "Though....yeah that was pretty weird."

"I'm glad that's over." Skylos noted, giving a sigh of relief. But what had Remus meant? That was an odd way to talk about keeping a friend alive. It almost sounded like Remus wanted to keep Noah alive due to convenience alone.
Remus snorted. "You bet we could. I've fought stronger humans before!" Remus then boasted.
"Sweetie, that's my cousin you're talking about." Corona then noted to her husband.
"Since when did you care?" Remus then smirked at her.
Corona chuckled to herself. "Oh, did I mistakenly come across that way?"

Ashi's instincts weren't wrong. But it was for love so it's an acceptable kind of stupid.
Kyle didn't slow down. "Not that bad??" He turned to look at her very briefly, still walking briskly forward. "Ashi.." He had his hand out in a gesture, like he was unable to even articulate what he wanted to say. "Noa--that guy, he.." He couldn't say it. "He did unspeakable things to you, and Cyrus! Just him being here at all is.. is.. unspeakable!" Now was not an occasion for eloquence. "I'm straightening this thing out with Daniel right now! It shouldn't wait not even a day more! I swear to you if you or I ever seen that bastard's face again.." His face was darker now, his anger only rising. She might notice that this was the very first time she's heard him curse, because he'd never cursed at all, with the exception of a few "dammits" upon stubbing a toe and other appropriate occasions.
"And if Daniel won't do anything," he continued, "Then by God I'll make that sonofabitch leave myself! Kyte and I will not be staying here with him around!! And you, you shouldn't either!! But even if you will I won't! It's intolerable! It's unspeakable!!"
At this point Kyle was raving, and while coherent, perhaps not entirely rational, or sane. It was also about this time that he would reach the fortress and stormed inside. "Daniel--where's Daniel," he muttered to himself, looking around and checking different rooms. "I gotta talk to Daniel. Gotta find Daniel." If anyone spoke to him or asked him what he was doing he simply replied, "I have to find Daniel!"

The man in the white cloak, that is, Daniel then noted to Kyle. "Um. That would be me." Apparently, Kyle had been locked into his mission so much that he had told Daniel that he needed to find Daniel. "Are you quite all right, Kyle...?"

Post by Halo on Nov 29, 2015 21:27:27 GMT -5
Zoe frowned a bit. That was quite mean of Corona. Her own cousin could be cranky at times, but Corona seemed kind of cruel.
Halo shrugged. "Oh well... How was your talk with Belak, Skylos?"
Ashi was quite shocked to hear Kyle speaking this way! "Kyle! For goodness sake! You need to calm down!" Ashi then looked at Daniel as they neared him. "I'm sorry, Daniel. This is my fault..." Ugh. I should have just kept that one to myself, shouldn't I?
Meanwhile, Ashi and Yisha were nearly at their destination. They had started asking around town a bit about finding their counterpart. Finally, they found a lead from someone who knew a woman who looked very similar to them.
At last, the two ended up at a restaurant. It seemed to be a bar and grill type of place.

Rem looked slightly annoyed. But this was actually at their counterparts. Wow....If I ever feel like I have complaints about Halo....I need to remember she could be much worse. Like Corona. As pretty as she might be, I think I'd lose it if I was married to her...She compliments Remus well... Rem thought to himself. He noticed Skylos a little bit ago, but currently he was talking.

Skylos looked slightly surprised for a second, then he shrugged his shoulders. "Oh... About how one might think it would. He's a Darkness Demon, after all." He shrugged his shoulders again.
"Yeah, I know all about that." Remus then noted to Skylos, and the group in turn. "I have to live with that everyday."
"Remus, I don't need you taking a smart attitude when it comes to demons!" Corona then lightly punched him in the back. "We've talked about this, many times."
Glaring, Remus then snorted and looked away from everyone. "I can think how I want to think."

Kyle shot her a look. "No," he said, "No I will not calm down. Not until this is settled!" He turned back to Daniel. "What the hell is Noah still doing here?!"

Daniel rubbed the back of his head. "Um. Well he'd be homeless otherwise." Daniel then offered. He had a feeling where this conversation had started, but he knew from the start that there was nothing he could say that would be satisfactory to him, if he was mad over Noah living here. It was a losing battle. "He also happens to be the strongest person here, so he makes good work of our enemies."

Ashi wanted to see what Kyle would say to how Daniel answered him. Daniel hadn't said anything incorrect or offensive to her. She knew that Daniel knew it was a touchy subject. And though she did feel a little distant from her friends since, she nevertheless knew that they still cared for her and respected her feelings on the matter to a degree. Just not enough to kick Noah out. But she had resigned to not fight that long ago, and she hasn't.
Now Kyle was doing the fighting she didn't ask him to do...

Kyle shook his head. "Those aren't good enough excuses and you know it," he said firmly. "Otherwise why not just team up with any powerful bad guy who'll ally himself with us? No, we don't do that because we have morals and standards, we have a cause--justice. And by saying that we tolerate or allow acts of.. of evil with no consequence within our own rankings says a hell of a lot about how sincerely we believe in what we say we do." He was fuming, but he was a lot calmer. Not any less angry, not at all. But logical, not crazy.
"Justice? That's laughable. We're all hypocrites at best. I thought this team meant more than that." His eyes were flashing almost dangerously, he wasn't letting this go any time soon.

"We do the best that we can, given the circumstances." Daniel noted, not losing his temper a bit. The Shadow Human seemed a little guarded, but then again, he was always rather cautious. "What would you have me do to him? Kill him? Do the same thing he's done? What kind of example would that be?"

Ashi didn't have much to say. If it went too far, she'd stop Kyle forcefully from taking any drastic measures. But she couldn't really keep him from talking...

Conaloch, with Marcion and Runa, arrived upon this Terra, having just learned that there was a "Convergence" here. Conaloch looked around at the sparse plains beneath him.
Terra 000 was in stark contrast to Terra 500; one could say they were complete opposites. Where Terra 500 was filled with towering cities and the most advanced technology, Terra 000 sat as a mostly undeveloped, rural oasis. The only reason why Terra 000 was not visited for its peace was because... It didn't have peace. There was a group of Powered Humans and Demons that built a fortress of wood on this Terra, and they watched over it the best they could; however, there had been nothing but strife within the group for some time. They could see friendships among one another, but at times, it was just so hard to comprehend the state of things. Still, they attempted to keep all the evils of the Terra in check.
It just so happened that there was a bit of a conflict of interest from the start, and that hadn't really ended well for many of them.
"This is actually a great place for the Convergence to have appeared. We can pass it off as Demon attacks, which I hear is pretty frequent on this Terra." Conaloch then noted.

"Fair enough," said Marcion, "I heard of this place back when I was with some others." Marcion was referring to the group had had been with when he was with Kinta. That time seemed like a lifetime ago, but perhaps it was, it was Marcion's previous life before it had been ended by Wrath. "It got taken over by that Yamiken, dude, right? Back when he was still alive."
"Indeed, and he is now very dead, we saw to that and he certainly won't be returning anytime soon. Now there is a 'power vacuum' sort of speak, even the group of Powered Humans here are at each other's throats. It's a wonder they haven't cut themselves to pieces yet. I don'r expect they will interfere, they are not as all seeing as the ones back on Earth."
Runa then pointed ahead, "the convergence is there, in the wooded glade where the trees have left a naturally occurring clearing. Lead on, Conaloch."

Post by Skylos on Jan 17, 2018 21:39:44 GMT -5
Conaloch was rather glad when Yamiken had been felled by Fate. Naturally, it was not a well-intended death, as Fate went on to use that "shard of Osric" to revive him. Osric was very dead at this point, and would never be revived. The only piece that lingered was one counterpart of Yamiken, and he had been the only "good" counterpart in the first place. Curiously, he had been on Terra 500, a place he had just been thinking about. "This way." Conaloch commanded, stepping forward towards the point of Convergence.
Inside the clearing was quite a sight. There was a mass of Power, trickling here and there, and falling like the sands of an hourglass. The Power was translucent, otherwise it might have been mistaken for water without gravity. Although it only rose above Conaloch's head, it was still something that caused pause for Conaloch; he could sense the strong waves of Power from within.
They were not alone, unfortunately. Before them were a few Power Demons; their red skin easily identified them as so. "How unfortunate for them. They come seeking strength, only to find the wrong kind." Conaloch then remarked. He could sense an oddness about them, so he decided to relay this sooner rather than later. "I do believe that they might be drunk on that Power; they are not within their own mind at this time." Or was that just part of how Terra 000 worked? He wasn't entire sure, but he did know that Marcion would be attacked soon. Perhaps he could gain the upper hand by striking first?

"Good luck, Marcion," said Runa, "while we won't interfere, we do want you to succeed. Use all you've learned, and I know you will be victorious, and now go...to battle!"
Marcion cracked his neck and his hands. He walked into the clearing and without even saying a word he used the power of fire that he had at the moment, although it was a tad weaker than he would've liked. Perhaps this convergence was worth it if it would up his power more. The fire shot out of his hand and burned through the ground before blasting upward like a volcano beneath two of the Power Demons. All he needed was to see the Power Demon's power once and then he could leach it for himself.
"Hey uglies," he called after his first strike. "Come and get me."
