A sniper shot from an unknown location suddenly struck Lake in the back of his head. The shot would have been lethal to most, but not to a dark guardian. Nonetheless, the force of the shot was strong enough to split Lake's head open, causing him to temporarily lose his influence on the tendrils and allow Switch to escape. Switch muttered something quietly as he stepped away from Lake.
S: "Thank you Jaden..."
English
-
Aries laughed. " You three should really learn when you're outmatched. I suppose I should dish out one of my little tricks." Jaden heeled over, as if he was going to puke. He was coughing up blood.
-
Switch immediately knelt besides Jaden and put his hand to Jaden's mouth. After gaining some concentration, he pulled his hand away. A dark wisp of pure darkness emerged from Jaden's mouth and dissipated into the air. A few seconds later, he stopped coughing up blood and sat up again. S: "heh, who says we're the ones outmatched?" The two vex constructs walked back into the portal, and in their place came a single even larger Vex biped. This one was unbelievably massive, standing even taller than the large ogre. With a swift movement of its arm, the towering machine burrowed its arm straight into the ogre's back, its hand penetrating the chitinous armour like a massive needle. Traveling all the way through the ogre's body, the construct's hand Burt out if the behemoth's chest as grotesque bodily fluids from the ogre spilled to the floor like some poisonous contaminated waterfall. The dark behemoth screened in pain as it practically drowned in its own bio fluids.
-
And then, as if it was possessed, it stopped reacting. It grabbed a hold of the giant Vex and ripped it in half. It's wounds were healing. A," You didn't think it would be that easy? Did you? Also, bad guess with Jaden. I said I kept him alive, I never said I healed him. You probably didn't notice but the muscles around his heart are torn to shreds. I'm keeping him alive by influencing his heart to keep pumping by itself. I can easily stop. As for you Vex friend." The Vex behemoth start to break into pieces, giant tendrils erupting from its body. A," I think it's time I even it the playing field." The giant Vex came back together, but it was not the same as before. Now it served Aries.
-
S: "ah, well that's the thing, you see. To you, Jaden only got his injuries a few hours ago when Lake crumbled that mountain to mere rubble. But to us, that happened weeks ago. Turns out that James is bloody good at removing dark influences. He healed Jaden, made me better, etcetera etcetera. When you learn how the Vex control time, it can be very useful to use to your own advantage" Z: "we've had weeks to plan for this, while you've barely had an hour in the same timespan" S: "yeah. And I may not be a dark guardian anymore, but I'll always have that experience, that memory in my head. Turns out that's really useful too when it comes to subduing dark incantations, such as, making someone throw up blood? Healed, easily" Z: "you were right in that someone is outmatched Aries. But it's not us. You still have Lake to deal with, anyway" S: "oh, and that massive Minotaur was never really a valuable asset. It's replaceable, in the billions actually" Z: "you can keep it if you really want... Or not" At that instant, a taken portal opened up above the possessed Minotaur construct. A massive beam of taken energy erupted from its surface and completely shrouded the massive machine in taken energy. It was ripped apart almost instantly, exploding into tainted ash and dust, while further injuring the ogre. Suddenly, Aries heard a familiar voice by his ear behind him. J: "yeah. Payback's a bitch" Jaden had scaled the ogre at blistering silent speed, sneaking up behind Aries. Immediately after speaking, he swung his leg around in a powerful kick, as his foot connected with the side of Aries' head, knocking him over.
-
Aries caught himself. He was still laughing. " Well then.... I suppose I should start getting serious." A massive portal opened up in the sky. It was bigger than anything seen before. It blocked out the sky, leaving the battlefield in darkness. What came out, was rain. It looked normal and didn't do anything, but when one little drop touched the ground, it split open. The ground broke and cracked and moved. A giant collapse occurred all around them. The ground was collapsing on itself. Then, while it continued raining. The portal started to suck up everything around them, including them all. Aries and the giant ogre, Switch, Jaden, and Zaaria, and Lake. They ended up somewhere none of them recognised. There was nothing in this new area. Everything was pitch black, except for the floor. A," You're in my realm now. A place where time doesn't flow. And a place where I make all the rules." Zaaria, Switch, and Jaden each were in separate cells. And they lacked the power needed to free themselves. Lake was the only one that was free. A," Now then. I finally get a fair fight."

Edited by Moot: 12/24/2015 6:31:27 PMJ: "this is your idea of fair? You need a therapist, mate" Z: "you want fair, then by all means release us, if you think you're man enough" S: "if this is trying to scare us, it doesn't exactly work. we've just spent the last few weeks in a timeless zone, and this is barely any different" J: "well... It's a lot more ugly" Z: "oh absolutely"
-
Aries ignored them. His focus was on Lake now. A podium raised between the two, brandishing two weapons. Two ceremonial swords, each one intricately carved. You wouldn't find finer weapons anywhere else. A," Let's see who's the best swordsman."
-
J: "Lake, Lake, Lake, Lake!" Z: "shut up"
-
The both of them grabbed a sword and spaced themselves out fifteen feet away from each other. A," Let's make this a little more interesting." The floor disappeared and was replaced with long poles with flat head to stand on. If you fell, there was no telling where you'd end up. L," Fine." He sprinted towards Aries and jumped up in the air, swing low. Aries parried and sent him back onto the ground. Lake stood up, and Aries swung horizontally at him. He managed to dodge but barely. They locked blades.
-
J: "heh. Screw this shit" Jaden was clearly irritated at how he couldn't do anything in his cell. Zaaria was looking anxiously at the two fighting, Switch on the other hand had sat down in his cell, practically in a meditative state. S: "relax you two..."
-
(( I suck at describing sword fights. So instead, I have this! Aries is the red one and Lake is the blue one. )) http://youtu.be/dLRqioLizGU
-
((Beeyootiful. Interesting way to RP)) The cells holding Switch, Jaden and Zaaria broke down and dissolved the moment Lake landed the final sword strike. Zaaria rushed over to Lake to see if he was OK, while Jaden started cheering. Switch walked over to Aries with a sword in his hand, not exactly looking to start another fight. S: "you've lost Aries. Give up while you still can, and at least prove to us that you have a sliver of decency left in you"
-
Lake was kneeling, using the sword to support himself. He was breathing hard. Aries stood up, the large gash on his chest didn't seem to affect him much. A," Well. Swords were never my thing, but I did manage to land a blow." Blood was dripping off of Aries' sword. A," As for you three. Get back in your little cells. This is far from over. " They were in their cells yet again. Lake took a large breath and stood up. He ignored the blood and focused on Aries. A," To be honest with you, I didn't plan on playing fair." Thirty or so Knights appeared all around Lake.
-
Edited by Moot: 12/24/2015 7:30:44 PMJ: "not playing fair? No shit you're not playing fair!" Both Switch and Zaaria were now holding sword in their hands, whithin the cells.
-
Aries was laughing. It seems he changed his mind now, as even more Knights appeared, as well as ogres. The number of opponents facing Lake was a small army at best. A," You should've just kept doing what you were doing. Siding with them? I didn't think you were such a fool...... Oh well..... Let's see how much our little hero can handle."
-
J: "little heroe[i][u]S[/u][/i], actually"
-
The Knight army and Lake seemed to have a stare down with each other. http://youtu.be/URWdgsBqfsQ (( Bewm! ))
-
((Again. Beeyootiful)) All three guardians just stood there in awe and mild shock as they saw Lake cut down the whole army of knights single handedly. S: "well... That was..." J: "awesome?" S: "something along those lines..." Z: "yeah..."
-
Aries was getting irritated. He kept throwing wave after wave of Knights at Lake, only to see them all get cut down. He grabbed for his gun.
-
Edited by Moot: 12/25/2015 12:56:34 AMBefore he could aim it at Lake, Aries' gun was shot clean out of his hands by a sniper round. Jaden had used a sword to cut open a small hole in his cell, which he had then shot through using his sniper rifle. J: "I think that's enough foul play for one day"
-
Aries growled. He was about to crush Jaden's cell entirely but was stopped as Lake rushed towards him with the sword. Before he had time to react his head was cut clean off his shoulder. His body fell backwards and his head rolled. The entire realm began to fall apart.
-
Edited by Moot: 12/25/2015 1:50:44 AMBefore any of them could picture what was truly going on, Switch, Jaden and Zaaria all found themselves falling through the air as their cells and black surroundings quickly shattered into light and wind. They could once again feel the rush of air and clouds and the sun as they all hurtled towards the grass covered ground of the Oasis Valley. Zaaria floated down, while Jaden jumped just before impact, and Switch blinked straight to the surface. The ground was still wet with puddles from the tainted rainfall that Aries had summoned earlier. Landing feet first, it took a few moments for all of them to reorientate and make sense of where they were.
-
Lake was a good mile away, with Aries, who as of right now was a giant blob of Darkness. It formed back into him. A," Well I'll be damned.... I didn't think I'd have to do this. But oh well, you are quite the worthy adversary." Aries turned back into the giant blob, and soon, it took the form of something else. It was massive, with giant claws, large jaws, and wings the size of Skiffs. He had turned into a dragon. Aries flew up into the air, and looked down upon Lake. Lake only responded back calmly. L," You think I can't do that myself?" Lake did the same thing, turning into a dragon, although a smaller one. He flew up into the air and met Aries' gaze A," I'm going to kill you. Slowly." They flew at each other, claws out, ready to rip each other's throats.

Edited by Moot: 12/25/2015 3:37:44 AMJ: "what the hell do we do now?!" Z: "sit and wait, I guess" J: "sit and wait my ass!" S: "I'm with Jaden on this one. We've come too far to stand idly now" J: "thank you Switch! Not you, Zaaria, at all" Z: "OK then, bright spark, how do we help? We're ages away right now, and it will almost take a whole minute to get over there by sparrow, by which time we already may be too late" J: "but just look at Lake! He's not as big or strong as Aries, so he's at a disadvantage. Therefore we [u]have[/u] to help! No choices left" S: "distance isn't a problem, we can always use the Vex gateways. But no, that's not enough..." Z: "ideas?" S: "a couple, actually. We could siphon off Aries' darkness and feed it either into Lake or myself--" Z: "nope, no way. Out of the picture. You're not corrupting yourself again, not straight after being cleansed of it!" S: "we might not have a choice, Zaaria!" J: "any other 'genius' plans?" S: "just the one, actually..." Switch looked all the way across the valley, over to the city perimeter and the traveler itself looming in the sky many miles away, but still visible and ever present. S: "please goddamn work..." Switch raised his hand in the direction of the traveler, and like it had before, a massive bolt of lightning erupted from that traveler's broken surface and forked across the sky at blistering speed, generating a booming loud crack as it sliced through the air and flooded the landscape and mountains with blinding light. The bolt connected with Switch's hand with a loud bang. Letting the pure light flood his entire body once again, he raised his other hand and prepared to fire another bolt of pure raw arc energy into Aries' dragon form, way off in the distance as he and Lake fought in the sky.
-
Aries saw it coming and dodged out of the way. Lake saw it too, and got an idea. L," Let's see if you can catch me!" Lake flew upwards, high up into the clouds. Aries was close behind. Just as it seemed like Aries was about to catch him in his jaws, Lake disappeared. The truth is, Lake went back to his normal form, well above the clouds and out of sight of Aries. Up here, everything was bright. He didn't look for too long though. He aimed his palm at the direction of the Traveller. Instantly, Light came arcing towards him. It burned him pretty badly, as the Darkness inside him didn't like being exposed to do much Light. He drones out the pain and focused on lumping the Light into one giant ball above him. At this point, the armour on his arm that was siphoning the Light had been completely burned away, and his skin had been burnt pretty badly. He kept this up until the ball was half the size of the Traveller, which was still pretty big. Then, he let gravity do the work for him. He aimed the ball downwards and fell with it. Aries looked around wildly. How could he have gotten away that easily? He didn't bother to look up, not before it was too late. Aries noticed that everything was getting brighter, and then he looked up to see a giant sphere of Light come hurdling towards him. It slammed into him before he could even move. The pain was the most severe thing he had ever felt in his life. As he fell, it felt like the ball of Light was burrowing into him, burning away his very essence. This continued on until they reached the ground. The whole valley shook as Aries came crashing down, a ball of Light on top, followed by Lake soon after. They landed right smack in the middle of the valley, on top of the river. It created a crater that was huge, with Aries and Lake at the centre.
