Switch rolled violently along the ground after being thrown through the fourth wall, before finally halting his own momentum by sticking a foot into the ground and sliding along. At this point, most of his armour had been torn completely off, exposing his blue and heavily scratched body plating underneath. But it didn't matter; wearing armour or not would hardly make a difference in a fight like this. His chest was clearly dented in with a shape closely resembling a clenched fist. He spat out some loose metal from his mouth and groaned. He only needed a bit more time.

Aries didn't relent. He kicked Switch across the face, sending him through a wall and into an open square. Aries walked over to him and picked him up by the neck, before landing another punch, knocking Switch to the ground.
-
Switch took the punches, but he didn't try to fight back. He was letting Aries hurt him, but somehow it didn't look like he was giving up. Instead it almost looked like Aries was doing exactly what he wanted.
-
A portal opened up in the air just above Switch. Dark tendrils popped out and wrapped themselves around his limbs. Then they started returning into the portal. " This is over now."

Edited by Moot: 12/12/2015 7:58:39 PM"Yes. It is" Aries felt something in his back. He looked down to see a blazing and sharp white blade protruding straight through his chest, right through the cardiac area. The blade was glowing bright white, like a sword made from pure light. It was soo sharp, Aries had barely even felt it stab him. Jaden was standing behind him, holding the hilt of the sword firmly in both hands. He had thrust it straight through Aries' back and out the other end. J: "From the makers of James, in association with Lake, and brought to you by Jaden, I give you... This thing" The tendrils grasping Switch wailed and withered in the sword's direct presence, releasing Switch and violently constricting as if severely burned. Switch fell to the ground and slumped over in pain. S: "ugh...you always were a corny asshole, Jaden..."
-
Aries, only laughed. " Now that burns like hell. But.... You just forsakened the life of another comrade." He pointed in the direction of Hunger and Romii. That sword was Romii's only hope against Hunger. The cut areas around the sword started to mold over. The sword was now stuck in Aries, and it would not leave anytime soon. " So long as Hunger continues to give me energy, I can withstand this sword. And this sword is the only thing that can kill Hunger. What painful mistake on your part."
-
J: "oh my god. He actually did it? He did that thingy you said he would do! I thought you said this guy was entirely unpredictable." S: "No one is entirely unpredictable, Jaden" Gingerly getting up off the ground, Switch raised a palm into the air, directly aimed at the traveller itself. After muttering a few cryptic words, a brilliant bright spark of lightning erupted from the traveler's battered yet smooth surface, cutting and weaving through the air like a powerful lightning bolt. The spark connected with Switch's palm as he felt the full brunt of the traveler's power coursing through him. He then raised his other hand and placed it on the sword now embedded directly into Aries' chest, sending the bolt of energy straight into Aries' body. Switch was using himself as a conduit between the traveler and Aries, connecting all three of them together with arcing bolts of pure light. This time, it was too much. Aries and Switch were being directly exposed to the traveler's full power and potential. To Aries, it didn't feel like being replenished with light anymore; it felt more like being drowned and suffocated in it. The full exposure practically paralysed the both of them, locking them in their respective positions. Switch was barely able to talk. "Jaden, you need to get Hunger here somehow! Neither me or Aries can do anything helpful like this right now, and as long as hunger's alive, this won't kill Aries, it'll just restrain his ability. Find James too: he made this thing! Go. Now!!" [spoiler]new post. This one's gone on for long enough I think[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Not yet.[/spoiler] Aries growled. Sorrow, the creature deep underground, now changed up its tactics. Putrid tentacles soared upwards and latched themselves onto the Traveller. It was stemming the flow of Light that was going towards Switch. Now the deadlock between Aries and Switch was weakening. Time was running out for them.
-
Edited by Moot: 12/12/2015 9:01:37 PM[spoiler]u dirty rascal -_-[/spoiler] Switch flicked his arm connected to the traveler, sending off smaller sparks from the main lightning bolt that would occasionally connect with sorrow's tentacles and send them reeling in pain. Alone however, it wasn't going to be enough in time. S: "what did I tell you? Go now! Move!" J: "Aye aye captain floofer..." Jaden ran out of the square and began searching for the abomination he needed, while also looking out for James.
-
Aries was grinning now. " At this rate, this'll kill the both of us. Are you prepared to die?" As for James, he and Lakir were fighting off Pride, Dishonour, and Insanity. Hunger was chasing after Romii.
-
Edited by Moot: 12/12/2015 9:43:52 PMSwitch sneered at Aries as his eyes narrowed in on him. "Yes, I'm prepared to die if it benefits the greater good. Unlike someone else I've had the displeasure of knowing, who'd rather become a plaything of the darkness instead..."
-
Aries laughed. " Just what I was hoping to hear. However, the Darkness doesn't just sacrifice its pieces. It takes pieces for its own!" A dark aura started gathering on Aries' chest. It shot out at Switch. It was harmful, but it filling up what Light was his with Darkness. " You're about to witness what it's like to be one with the Darkness!"
-
Switch felt the darkness entering him sting like acid. "I'm flattered that you think I'm valuable enough for such a position, but I'd rather stay with the light thank you" Switch turned himself to directly face Aries, lowering the hand connected to the traveler. Instead of connecting with his palm, the erupting lightning bolt now coursed into his spine and back. Switch grabbed the dark tendrils emerging from Aries' chest with his now free hand and began to pull them away from him, each one he touched exploding into white ash and light.
-
Aries only intensified his attack. Now putting his own hands on Switch, the flow of Darkness was enough to topple the Light. Already, the first effects were happening to Switch. Like the voice of the Darkness. [b] I see that Aries is taking yet another one.[/b]
-
Edited by Moot: 12/12/2015 10:41:16 PMSwitch ignored the booming voice in his head and thrust the blade of light embedded in Aries' Chest upwards towards his neck, forming a long deep vertical wound that scaled half his torso, in hopes that it would cause enough pain to distract him. Meanwhile, Jaden had located James and Lakir, and was closing in on their position, jumping stealthily along the rooftops.
-
Aries was too far into the process to give up now. " Just surrender your will to the Darkness! If you don't, it'll make the conversion that much more painful!" The discharge of Darkness was enough to make the sword dim, until it was robbed of all Light, making it of little use. Already, Darkness was starting to seep from Switch.
-
Edited by Moot: 12/12/2015 10:56:33 PM"Agh...shit" The were no other choices left, and he was out of time. Regrettably, Switch broke the link between him and the traveler. The bolt of energy withdrew from his back and retreated through the air, snapping back into the traveler's surface. No longer needing to channel its light and power towards Switch, the traveler was free to focus its full attention on sorrow. The giant orb released a massive shockwave of light that stormed through the entirely of the last city. The closest of sorrow's tentacles to the traveler were instantly vaporised by the shockwave, while others further away screeched in pain and agony. The blast also levelled any buildings directly beneath the traveler, and caused both Switch and Aries to be flung forward and separated. Jaden took cover in a nearby building as the blast passed through, before going back outside and getting ever closer to James.
-
Aries stood up. Looking around, he laughed at the situation. He called for Sorrow to disappear. It wouldn't be needed anymore. In fact, it was about time he left.
-
"If you think you're going anywhere... Think again!" Switch was planning on firing a lightning bolt into Aries, but instead, a black aura of dark energy erupted from his arm and struck Aries in his head, shooting him back. The action left a painful and foul sensation in Switch's arm.
-
Aries was launched back, but landed on his feet. He turned around to face Switch. " Already using the Darkness within you? You couldn't resist its power, could you?"
-
"I didn't mean to-- what the hell did you do to me?..." Switch was looking at his own hands, practically in self disgust.
-
" I liberated you. I gave you a taste of what's to become of you. It's only through that new power that you have the strength to kill me. Accept your role. Because now you're on the other team."
-
"I can hear it, the darkness itself. I can hear them in my head. Those abominations of yours. I can feel them, talk to them, contr-- oh wait. I can control them. Well then..." In that instant, a tendril of sorrow erupted from the ground next to Aries and swiped straight into him, knocking him into a concrete wall with a loud crack. "I may have changed sides for now, but I've kept my own will. I still see you as the enemy here; a blight to be purged. You and all your foul incantations. All of them are going, permanently. And I'm not going to stop until that fate comes to fruition. You've just given me an extra tool to carry out what I decide. Oh and don't worry: I'm not going to stay like this. Trust me, this stench of darkness is almost unbearable, and it reeks on you"
-
Aries got up, still grinning. " Of course. I expect nothing less of you. Except, you can control my abominations. They aren't creatures of the Darkness, they're creatures born out of me. Each one was ripped out from me, and can be pieces together. So what you just did..... It just solidified your downfall. You are no longer a Guardian. You will never be a Guardian ever again. Your fate is sealed."
-
Switch didn't want to admit it, but he knew Aries was at least partly right. He wasn't ever going to be quite the same again after this. "I'll find a way to get rid of this infection, trust me on that. There's nothing I'd like more right now. But perhaps I should play as some sort of role model to you: be everything you couldn't be, do what you couldn't do, amend what mistakes you made. Your mistakes. You. You did this to me. And for that, if it wasn't personal earlier, it sure is now. I'm not just going to kill you. I'm going to make it [u]hurt[/u]" Switch's body began changing and warping into a black smoke, which suddenly catapulted towards Aries in a fast straight line, like an agressive dark jetstream. Just before reaching Aries, the smoke solidified back into Switch, where he maintained momentum and planted his knee right into Aries' face, whipping his head back violently.
-
Aries was launched back. He didn't even fight back now. All he did was laugh and grin. " Oh I see it now! You're going to become a much more powerful pawn of the Darkness then I could ever dream of! It will be you that will pick up where I left off. I won't bring about the end of the Light. No, that'll be you. You're proving that right now, with every hit you throw at me."
