Switch sped past a small group of acolytes trying to pin down some hunters. Using a sword he materialised, he swiped out and sliced the acolytes in half as he raced past them.
S: "So where's Lakir right now? I haven't seen him since leaving the city"

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.

-
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.
-
((Lol I was actually planning to fire at Lake instead, but sure I can roll with this :p)) Switch, Jaden and Zaaria had all been knocked and thrown back the moment Aries impacted with the ground, the sheer force shaking them clean off their feet. After the dust had finally settled and the valley once again laid Silent, the three guardians wearily got up the floor onto their feet. Z: "that was... Big... And unexpected..." J: "did it work? Is he...?" S: "let's find out..." They all summoned their sparrows and raced over to the newly formed steaming crater, driving over the crest and down towards the centre, where Aries and Lake were located.
-
Aries and Lake were on a big puddle in the middle of the crater. Aries was on his knees, his strength completely drained. Lake was standing, with a gun aimed at Aries' head. L," It's over! This is all over!"
-
Switch lept of his sparrow and ran towards the two figures. Jaden and Zaaria followed close behind. S: "Lake, wait! Don't kill him!" J: "did he just say [u]DON'T[/u] kill him?"
-
A," Come on.... Do it..... Pull the trigger. You know you want to...."
-
Switch had grabbed onto the gun barrel aimed at Aries' head. S: "I telling you, just don't. we both know that you want to kill him. Hell, we both want to kill him, period. But he's asking for it. [i]don't[/i] make his final breath of life be a command that you or I obey" Switch let go of the gun barrel and knelt down besides Aries in a squat, looking into his defeated eyes. S: "You know, I used to think that you were cold, heartless, manipulative, and just plain evil. But it's taken me this long to realise that that isn't who you really are, not on the inside. You're not cold, or heartless, or manipulative, or evil: you're clever. And smart. Simply embracive actually. That's the main difference between you and I: you embraced what you became, while I rebelled against it" "And I don't blame you for that, for deciding to join with it. I can still hear it, you know? The voice. That little menacing persuasive voice in the back of my head, and your head too. Becoming a dark guardian is like sustaining a large wound. It's painful and takes a long time to heal from and remove. But even if you do remove it, like what happened to me, it leaves a scar: a reminder of what you once were, and it stays with you forever. That voice is the scar. I can't ever get rid of that, not ever. As a result, I'm never going to feel quite the same again. I won't be trusted as much, and I won't feel as pure or unscarred as I once did, and that's going to be hard to live with. So I don't blame you for sticking to the bad side" "But please Aries, prove to me that you are indeed clever and smart inside by ceasing your service to that foul voice. You've done a lot of harm to many people, not just today but for many days prior. Innocent people have died undeservedly at your hand and you know that's entirely true. So let me make this very clear: [i]choose wisely[/i]. I'm having to use a lot if strength to give you this offer to live, so [u]don't[/u] take this offer lightly. I believe in second chances, so I'm giving you just that. But you're only getting one second chance. That's it. So, as a reminder:" "Prove to all of us that you're smart and clever; don't take this offer lightly; and choose wisely. If you accept, you live. What do you say?"
-
A," You know nothing about me. You know nothing about what I've seen, what I've done. At this point, there is no turning back. I walk a path that you can't return from. A path of solitude. I fight for the Darkness, to be free of it. Because I know that somewhere, someone will be strong enough to defeat me, and kill me. Only then will I be free. Only then can I stop. But until then, I'm going to keep going, keep killing, until it kills me."
-
S: "well then. If you wish to die, so be it. I won't try and stop you from accomplishing that goal, if that's what you truely want. At least it's good to know that you fight to be free of the darkness, rather than embrace it further" Switch stood up from his crouch and stepped back to give Lake the space he needed, still looking into Aries' eyes as he went.
-
Lake holstered his gun. He walked right up to Aries. L," Take it back. Take back the Darkness that you put inside of me. I don't want it." A," And why would you do that? It'll give me the strength to kill you." L," I have faith that you know you've lost. Just take it and get out of here."
-
J: "Lake, you're letting him live now?"
-
L," Look at him. He doesn't deserve death."
-
Edited by Moot: 12/25/2015 5:26:54 PMZ: "he [i]is[/i] death" J: "I'd say he deserves it, sure" S: "no. He doesn't"
-
L," You do deserve this though." Lake punched him in the jaw, hard. Enough to knock him on his back. A," Fair enough..."
-
Z: "I think you should go, Aries" S: "how do we know that you won't try and do something like this again?"
-
A," You don't..."
-
S: "knew you'd say that..." Z: "Lake?"
-
Lake was busy ridding himself of the Darkness in his system. He balled it up into his palm. L," I don't want this curse anymore." The ball floated back to Aries, who absorbed it, and had his strength return. He stood up, while Lake fell from exhaustion.
