"Blackened." Dusty looked over at the metal stallion. "Would you like to view what's happening? I can patch you through. It really is insane."
Ooc: they showed up, because Arch was threatened, that sword, didn't you say it was touching him? And that's enough for the enchantments surrounding it to start working, thus harming him? What's left? Heh, you took down the mechanical soldiers. (Gathers his power and sends a wave of energy out.) *The bomb vanishes, any damage is reversed and the time it would've taken to repair everything is burnt up. The army gathers the 'fallen' and leaves. The general population is unharmed, and they are convinced that it was all being done for a movie, and given compensation for appearing as terrified extras. By compensation, they are given 20,000 bits each, more than if it were another film studio making a movie. Their initial terror was replaced by that of how an actor is "terrified". Any likeness to any other actively controlled character is changed on footage to be that of an actor's. The wave affecting memory only works on the populace and any character consenting. Those who don't consent, will be the only ones to know. Arch's files are all burned instantly.* Keep the sword. You might need it, but remember, I only show my power and anger when my friends are in danger. Edmond, this is why I say keep your emotions in check. Go home, we're done here. Edmond: (nods and sheathes his sword before vanishing after a short bow) Silver, one last thing, I can still help your daughter. *She was completely unharmed in this conflict* I won't be alive much longer, but do you feel better knowing that you were the one who killed me? I have made it known to those civilizations that I died on my own terms, and they shouldn't seek revenge or risk incurring my apprentices' anger. This may be the last chance for me to help, which is all I wanted to do. I do apologize for the whole army fiasco, instincts. Whenever I'm in danger I either detonate a large amount of energy, or send a distress signal. The detonation may have killed everyone around, but no one was killed, well everyone but me wasn't, whilst the distress signal usually intimidates whoever is threatening me into backing down. I didn't want to kill everyone or injure everyone around me, so I sent the signal. I only meant for them to intimidate, that's why they never fired, only caused a little rumbling. I again, apologize for the damage, I've already sent compensation to all involved.
"Oh, I'll be fine," Nightshade said, sitting up in the bed. "All this chaos... so much anger! So much disharmony! So much to take in... I feel like a new mare!" "Oh *squee!*," said Heart Song. "Oh *squee!*," echoed Silver.
Dusty cast a spell and patched him in. "What..." Azrael squinted at Nightshade sitting up. "What the hell is going on?"
"Simple, my dear Azrael." Nightshade began removing her bandages, revealing her heavily scarred face. "I am a priestess of chaos. My power, my essence, my very being... thrives on discord. That little exchange between my father and the godling created more chaos than I've ever felt before! It was so beautiful! With that much power being spread around, I couldn't help but take some for myself."
You're welcome.......(gasps for air) *The zeppelin phases between dimensions and vanishes.* *A single note to those at the bar. * *"I had fun. Thank you."* (Flickers and vanishes, a single brightly glowing light in his place before that flickers and vanishes too)
Blackout walked into the room. He raised an eyebrow at Nightshade's sudden improvement, but said nothing. "Lieutenant Blackout, reporting. The enemy has retreated. We lost Shadow Dancer and six of our armored chariots." Silver sighed. "Shadow Dancer? Damn. She was a fine soldier. Any injured?" "Twelve. Flint might not survive the night." "Do what you can for him, and notify Dancer's family." "Of course, sir. Your daughter seems to be awake and active well ahead of schedule." "So I have noticed. It is... a concern."
Ooc: FYI ridley, they never fired. Nice try though. I also never said that the army actually fought. You're twisting this around to tear up whatever was left of Arch's reputation. And mine. You put words in my mouth.
(Give it a few posts, it should start winding down to something that EVEN YOUR FEEBLE MIND can comprehend. Bwahaha and all that.)
So you know, that even after what Arch tried to do. He was killed. I wonder how the Universes will react this time.
