Alice smiles at them, then reaches up to take off her helmet. She pulls it off slowly, the hood falling back behind her neck. When the helmet is clear of her head, the view is different than expected.
Her face is the same as it always has been, but now, the eyes are of different colour, one a grey silver and the other a dark brown, almost black. Her hair no longer the thick brown it used to be, now most of it is a dark, midnight black, except for the tips, which are still brown.
"Soon I'm not going to have any chains to hold me, but I will hear about who it is you want me to kill. Just a warning though, I may say no, I do have some humanity left." She grins after that, looking directly at Grixis.

Edited by Zalamiir: 11/22/2015 2:45:32 AMReally? Was that meant to be an insult? He didn't care what people might call him now. Monster, Demon, Hive. They all met their fate in the end. Sarkon took the opportunity to chuckle at the Hunter's statement. He already knew why, and it would be a testament to what she had said. If she said that she would 'not have any chains to hold her' then this would be the perfect first step. Her morals had to be erased. "[i]No. You will not kill anyone today, as you said, you do not wish to fight."[/i] Sarkon said. That was when he decided to take over. "The Titan Ahamkara. I know that Shovoroth is still bonded to you. While Emaria is incapable of escaping my grasp, Shovoroth has gone to the lengths of hiding her from me. If you truly wish to be truly free, then this problem ends today. Call out to him, and reveal their location, or call them here. This is your judgement, the first chain is your morals. If you can't be rid of them, then your liberation is but a pointless dream. What will it be, Guardian?" It was time for her to decide.
-
Alice turns around walking away from Grixis and Sarkon. She pulls her helmet back on. "You forget why I am here, Sarkon. I'm not here for a fight, I'm not seeking your salvation, I'm not even seeking a partnership." She raises her hood when she reaches the middle of the great room. Then turns to face them once more. "I'm here seeking the Travelers Light, and in order to do that, I need an army. I need to be the one that issues the order, not a servant of a great General or whatever. So my answer to that request is no, because while I am linked with Shovoroth, I hold a great bargaining chip that you can't win against." She holds up a hand quickly. "But wait, if you capture me, you can hurt me, you can hurt Shovoroth, forcing him to come out of hiding and save me, right?" She says in a voice that shows little to no concern. "Just send forth waves upon waves of reborn until I tire and you lot come in for the steal, right?" "But as I said before-" She takes a few steps back, ready for anything to attack her or try and trap her. "-I came here for an army, not a recruitment, and I will be leaving here with an army, whether by choice or by force. And please don't let it be force, you all seem like lovely underlings and I would hate to fight you all, for as I said, I did not come here for a fight." She looks up at Sarkon, one eyes glowing white and the other radiating darkness. "But trust me on this, if you choose to fight me, you will lose and I will walk out of here with complete control of the Reborn, any of your darkness energy and freedom for Emaria."

Edited by Zalamiir: 11/22/2015 4:35:24 AMThere was pure silence in the room. Nothing moved, no 'one spoke. Nothing. It was as if time itself stopped to look at what was happening in Oryx's thrown room. But then the silence was broken. Every member of the Hive turned back to look at what it was. Sarkon was laughing. But that was not why they were looking. They heard something that they never heard before, nor they thought was possible. Grixis was laughing too. But then he regained control of himself, returning to the Grixis that everyone knew. "You are [i]unbelievably[/i] naïve to think that you can control them. The Reborn work on levels that you can't even begin to comprehend. They can only be controlled by us." "[i]You are welcome to try, however,[/i]" Sarkon said, [i]"But your efforts will be for naught."[/i] That was when something happened that no 'one had ever seen before. Reborn energy radiated from the ground around Sarkon and Grixis. Next, their bodies began to change, as each one became the very embodiment of Reborn energy. Sarkon's entire body turned into pure Darkness, at his center, however, was an orb made of pure Light. Grixis, however, was the exact opposite. His body was made of pure Light, and his core, an orb of Darkness. Then, out at the very tip of the front of the Dreadnaught, the space became covered in Darkness, blocking out the view of Saturn and space itself. Then all of a sudden, a supernova exploded far behind the two. What now cast the entire room with an eery light, was a massive orb made of Light and Darkness. The Oversoul of Sarkon and Grixis. Then they both spoke in unison, their voice sounding warped and different, as if it was not their own. [i][b]"Nothing can stop what comes next. We will take all, death will free all. The Dark War has begun."[/b][/i] Energy all around the room then started to pour into the Oversoul, making the entire room shake , as if everything was tearing itself apart. [b][i]Crota, has failed. Oryx, has failed. Xivu Arath and Savathûn have abandoned their crusade. Where they have failed, we will not. I am Xol, Worm God of the Hive, and I have spoken! The Deep, will consume all!"[/i][/b] That was when portals started to appear. Out from the portals came exact copies of ethereal Knights, but these were far worse, and far more dangerous. They all advanced on the Hunter. "[b][i]Take her Light!"[/i][/b]

"Yes, please do. Come closer, please." She mutters to herself as she watches the ground the enemies walk upon to get closer to her. "I'm sorry Sarkon and Grixis, I truly am, but you just got played like the chess pieces you are." She raises her hand towards the Oversoul and everything else in front of her. "I suppose I must thank you, however." She calls across the room. "You did just give me exactly what I wanted." She grins evilly under her helmet. "All of your energy." With that, all the energy that was going towards the Oversoul begins to flow through the air, out of the hive, the reborn, the room and the Oversoul itself, even Sarkon and Grixis, all aimed for Alice. "I am Lokumi's Leech!" She shouts over the roar of the room, as their own Darkness is absorbed away from them. "I offered you a chance which you rejected, now you shall all die, like the Worms you are." The Oversoul, lost without its energy, begins to crack open, the supernova loses it's energy, while Sarkon and Grixis stand there, losing all that holds them together. Any enemy that approaches immediately begins being drained more and more, any ranged weapon burns away before breeching a metre of the woman called Leech. And all the while, it is her laughing. As it will be her who gets the last laugh.

Edited by Zalamiir: 11/22/2015 5:19:00 AMA maniacal laugh thundered throughout the room as the energy continued to pour into the Guardian. [b][i]"You are strong. But even you can only go so far. You forget from the Books of Sorrow where all Hive get their power from, even that wretch Lokumi. But if it is power you seek, so you shall receive."[/i][/b] The Oversoul all of sudden grew twice the size that it was. At that moment, poured the energy into her an astonishing speed, as if the barriers that held the energy back were released. And it all poured into her. "[i][b]I am a God. You are but a pawn to a Dark disciple. You seek power? You will have it, whether you like it or not."[/b][/i] The power never stopped, it just kept coming and coming with no end, and it forced it's way into the Guardian's very being. And there was no way she could cut off the flow. She was stuck, and she would eventually break to the overflow of power. And when she did, it would all flow back into the Oversoul, and they would be done here at the Dreadnaught. And then the universe would succumb to Darkness.
-
"You are no god, for Gods don't bleed." Leech takes in all the energy of the Oversoul, but unknowing to the pretend God before her, the power is redirecting itself, for the body of Alice is no more than a conduit to a bigger goal that Lokumi had planned ages before hand. Lokumi appears behind Leech with a wide grin on his face. [b]"I'm sorry Xol, but I think it's safe to say at this point, that you officially screwed. You believe you hold the cards? You do not, for now you have released the flood, exactly what I wanted, for not even you can shut off the power now, Leech has too good of a grasp upon your Oversoul now. But I will thank you, however, when your Oversoul, minions, and even you run out of Dark energy, I'll be standing as the lone winner."[/b] [b]"You see, for I am no God, I am no immortal instrument, I am but a beast that likes to play Chess. Thank you, Xol, for your power is welcome."[/b] Lokumi dissapears into shadows, leaving Leech alone in the room, sucking any and all energy that comes close to her, leaving everything defenseless to her leeching abilities. "Try me." She says with a grin, as the shadows curl around her, ready to defend her with the power of an Oversoul.

Garuud dodged the rail gun from Val'rauc and moved faster and faster by killing enemies with his fire speeding him up even further until he was a blur. Then he landed on Val'rauc and punched him directly in the face with the force of a MAC truck activating melting point. Garuud then launched off of the Val and fired 3 rockets directly into his face which were then buffed by the melting points damage destroyed the Val completely. Which then dropped something on the ground..... " ooooo this is just delicious!" Garuud picked up the monte carlo. "This is what I need! muhahahahahah!" Garuud looked towards sepkis prime. " I am going through that rupture. You want to move? Or do you want me to go through you?" *no response* Garuud smiles wide. " Through you it is!" Garuud began firing into Sepkis from behind cover with his Monte carlo and when his melee was refilled he threw a incendiary grenade into the group destroying the lesser creatures. That sped Garuud up to the max and he began sprinting at full speed at Sepkis prime Once he reached him Sepkis hit him with a blast directly knocking Garuud back. Garuud got back up in a flash and threw a fusion grenade into its eye. Once it was distracted, he jumped up and used all of his force in one punch and destroyed Sepkis prime once more. " Shouldve moved you over grown disco ball. hahaha" Garuud moved into the rupture to see Alice and Grixis in some sort of deadlock of darkness power. Which started to seep into Garuud. " Yes, that is right feeeeeeeed me." A dark voice spoke up from within Garuud. He began to lose himself. "No!" Garuud put his hand to his face his other eye that was not covered began to move around in his socket all by itself scanning... hunting as Garuud stood there and twitched "All.... all this darkness... is over whelming."
-
"How about this, Xol." Leech calls out across the room. "You shut off the power tap that I'm sinking into, you get on with whatever evil scheme your trying to accomplish. I've drained enough energy for now." "But in return, you have to do something very, very drastic. Y'know, like what you tried doing with me earlier, but even more dramatic." She smiles under her helmet, knowing how funny this will be.
-
Garuud feels the control of his body slipping. The Dark energy in the room is overwhelming and he cant help it. Finally his eye focusses on Grixis. " Prey" The dark voice says. That is Garuud began screaming. Dark energy began poring into him and out of him He began to move erratically smashing everything around him. "Prey.. prey.... prey.... prey.....PREY!" Then Garuud stopped moving all of a sudden and his eyes turned black and his armor began turning white that is when he looked up at Grixis and his mouth opened and smoke curled out. With that he moved with insane speed toward Grixis completely out of control. " Graaaaaaaah!" He screamed in a high pitched voice as he sprinted towards Grixis.
-
"...and never mind what I just said. I found a way out of here." She looks at Garuud then back up at Grixis. "I'll let you handle him." Then she raises the other arm, the one that isn't channeling the energy, towards Garuud. He staggers at the Overwhelming amount of power he begins to recieve. Leech then moves her hands together slowly, and when they finally touch, Leech no longer channels the power of the Oversoul, but instead watches as Garuud deals with the full force of it. She looks up at Xol. "I think it is time for me to go. Thank you for the lovely amounts of power, we were having a hard time gaining it. Sorry about tricking you though, really didn't want it to be this way. But still, game of chess and whatever Lokumi talks about in his spare time. See ya round, Xol." With that, Leech turns and opens the door to the room, walking out easily. Leaving the Reborn Energies to deal with an Overpowered Garuud. Literally.
-
Garuud feels the power rush into him Garuud stops moving completely as he becomes super charged with the energy from the oversoul. " Yes.... yes.... yes..... feeeeed meeeee!" Garuud began screaming with a insane volume and then sprinted full speed at Grixis. He was there in a instant with a black sol edge in hand swinging upwards with insane speed. The wind of the strike blew back reborn behind Grixis.

Edited by Zalamiir: 11/24/2015 2:32:57 AMThe Reborn blown back by the attack immediately dissipated back into Reborn energy, which combined with the Dark energies currently flowing into the Oversoul. But, Grixis and Sarkon stood resolute. Molkir and the Deathsingers continued their work, and the four Blades and Shadows of Grixis focused on the Guardian. "[i]Sorry, warrior of Light, you will find us more challenging."[/i] Calvik said. Men'kaar cackled, "[i]The Dark War has already begun! Hive everywhere raise swords in name of Sarkon, and exterminating those that resist![/i] "[i]Face it, Guardian, you're order is doomed! Once we take the power of Oryx, the Hive will be what it once was, and the Deep will consume all!" [/i] Vôlik-Dal exclaimed. All three of their swords glowed the energies that they controlled. Stronix hefted his axe, ready to butcher the Guardian. "[i]You will not interfere!"[/i] They exclaimed. With that, they marched toward the Guardian.
-
Garuud started laughing maniacally " This is all you brought? This will barely be a appetizer! " Garuud laughed and began to move at even higher speeds still being fed by the over soul. Garuud began swinging his sword at insanely speeds and stuck the fire knight in the chest "Graaaaaaaaah!" Garuud looked towards the other knights. " Tooo slow!"
-
Edited by Zalamiir: 11/24/2015 2:50:05 AM"[i]Too sure of yourself."[/i] Vôluk-Dal responded. He reached around and grabbed the Guardian by the back of his neck, and threw him in the air in the direction he came. But while he was still in the air, his sword became a fiery whip like blade. He slashed it in the air at the Guardian. It hit him square on, slamming him into the ground. With his free hand, he focused his Solar energy into his palm, it becoming a glowing orange claw of fire. Then he pressed down on his chest where the sword had struck, cauterizing it. He focused back on the Guardian that had now gotten up. He could take a hit, that was for sure. Men'kaar dashed past him with incredible speeds, his sword surging with Arc energy. "[i]You're mine!"[/i] he cackled. Their swords clashed in an array flames and bolts. "[i]You're a fast one! It will make killing you all the more enjoyable!"[/i]
-
The wound from the whip closed instantly with a bone like protrusion and he seemed to lose more control over himself. Garuud let go of his sword with one hand and coated it in fire while holding the knight in place with the pressure from his sword. He then punched through the knights shoulder . " graaah! " Garuud's eyes lit up and he threw the now weakened knight back towards the other one using the hole as a grip. Garuud began rushing towards them again even faster this time roaring the whole time.
-
The Blades merely stepped out of the way as Men'kaar flew past them. Men'kaar hit the ground soon after. Then he got up, immediately getting back into a fighting pose, as if the wound in his shoulder didn't exist. Calvik then stepped in between the group and the charging Guardian, his Void blade glowing all the while. When the Guardian got to a distance he found suitable, he swiped at the air twice, sending two long, blade thin streaks of Void energy at the Guardian, making them form an X shape. Once they were away, he charged directly behind them. The Void streaks hit the Guardian, it did damage him, but if it so much as staggered him, he didn't show it. It was only immediately after that did they clash together, his strength matching the Guardians. That was good, it wasn't because he was known to be stronger than the average Knight, but the strength that this one had when he got the jump on Vôlik-Dal and threw Men'kaar across the chamber didn't seem to be with him anymore. The surge of power that he received was fading away. But, might as well get him to use a lot while he was in front of him. There blades sparked sporadically as they were held at a standstill. [i]"Is this all that you are capable of? Don't tell me that you are getting soft, now that you fought only two of us."[/i] Time for the push. "[i]Give me your all, you wretched disgrace!"[/i]
-
That was when the darkness started seeping from the other knights shoulder into Garuud and he seemed to be getting stronger from it. " Graaaaaah! Feed me! You pathetic disgraces of flesh!" Garuud grabbed onto both blades with one hand where they met and even though it cut his hand it simply filled with the bone like substance. and delivered a massive headbutt to the knight cracking the armor which allowed more darkness to seep out. Garuud followed up the head butt with another, and when it dropped its guard he grabbed his sword and slashed upward and sliced off its left arm and kicked it away.

Edited by Zalamiir: 12/1/2015 2:10:17 AMGrixis watched everything through warped vision. Everything was either pure white or black as night, but he saw everything more accurately than he ever did before. He watched as Calvik reared back at the attack that separated his arm from his body. He couldn't have that. A Blade would have no weakness, it was that or die. But Calvik was unique among the Hive, they all were. It would be a simple procedure to fix. The dark powers that once belonged to Oryx, after at least an hour, finally ceased as it was finally all transferred into their Oversoul. But there was one more thing that had to be dealt with. The Titan was currently boosted by Reborn energy. Since he wasn't originally dead, it would drain very quickly, but they were ready and they were not going to wait. He would have made an excellent addition to their ranks, but there was no control to him. He would only be a liability. The Oversoul, with one more show of cataclysmic vigor, grew bright as it began to sap what was currently left of Reborn power in the Titan. The procedure didn't take all but ten seconds to complete, as it finally died down, and left the Titan completely drained of its temporary strength. With that, the Oversoul vanished, returning everything to its original state. His vision returned to normal, as did his body, the same with Sarkon. The collection of Hive now stood on the altar with them, Calvik clutching at his arm, with the titanic ship of their Dreadnaught behind them. "You tried, Guardian. But in the end, your endeavor was for naught. When we meet again, it best be with an army at your back. The Light's days are numbered," Grixis said. With that final statement, they were all converted into ash, and transported back aboard their Dreadnaught, leaving the Guardian alone in Oryx's throne room. ---------------------------------- Anaxis' jumpship warped out of the blue wormhole, back into the black gulf of space, leaving nothing but the gas giant, Saturn to fill the viewport. Anaxis looked out across the rings, seeing the crippled Dreadnaught surrounded by a Hive fleet, with Sarkon's Dreadnaught in front and above it. "Damnit, we're too late!" He cursed. His fear only grew when the fleet rose above the rings with their Dreadnaught into an array of green portals. "Maxus, track those ships, where are they headed," he told his Ghost, watching the fleet pass through the threshold of the portals. [i]"They're-[/i]" he paused for a few seconds before speaking again. "[i]These coordinates, they're not returning to Jupiter."[/i] "What?! Where are they heading?!" [i]"I don't know, these coordinates, I've never seen them used before. I don't know where they are going."[/i] At the last statement, the fleet passed through the portals, headed to wherever they were going. He slunk back into his seat, staring at the spot where the fleet left. This was his only lead to what Grixis was doing, and now for the first time in his life, he was left in the dark, completely unaware of what was going to happen next. But one thing was certain. Death was coming for them all.
