[i]Alister then began to walk away, slowly going away from him.[/i]
English
-
The man looked around before sprinting after Alister, always looking around for any other threats. "Alister! Look at me. What did they do to you? What did the Icos do to you?"
-
[i]He continued to walk away, and somehow, Lucien was moving slower than Alister.[/i]
-
Lucien knew there was something wrong. It felt as if Alister was slipping away, ignoring him like some kind of corpse. [i]No... No![/i] "Damn it! Alister! ALISTER!" All Lucien could do was watch as the boy walked away.
-
[i]Then the boy faded into the darkness. There was no point in chasing him anymore.[/i]
-
[i]No. He can't be gone. He can't be gone.[/i] "No..." Lucien's eyes light up with rage as he draws his pistol and points it to the black void. "GIVE HIM BACK! OR I SWEAR, I WILL MAKE SURE A SWIFT DEATH BECOMES A MERCY WHEN I FEED YOU TO THE FIRE!" In reality, the air around Lucien begins to smell like brimstone...
-
[i]Then a voice came from nowhere.[/i] "Ah, shît... This is not good. I can't control what is happening to your head, since you've interrupted it when you shot me." [i]Then the floor beneath Lucien disappeared, leaving him to fall.[/i]
-
Lucien rejoins reality and looks around frantically for the boy. Then he sees Xavier. "You... You dare tease me with finding him. You dare play with my mind? So be it then. Feast upon the fruits of a False Prophet." He holsters his revolver and draws the sword from its mechanical sheathe - the first time Xavier has seen it. It is akin to a traditional Japanese katana, albeit set with engravings and alight with blue flames. The man drops to his knees and swiftly plunges the flaming blade through his own stomach in an act of twisted seppuku. The last thing Xavier sees of Lucien's face is the raging fire of pure hatred before he dons the gas mask hanging from his belt. Fog begins to creep from seemingly out of nowhere as the scent of brimstone becomes intertwined with the stench of burning flesh... Through the silhouette of the thick fog comes slight flickers of the same blue flames as before, albeit more... Hungry. Veins of purple creep up the fires behind the kneeling figure of Lucien, only to shift around him like a shield and covering his body. The fires covering Lucien spread outwards by a few meters to each side - like two massive avian wings. Through the fog comes glimpses of burning wings of flesh and feather, feathers charred with soot and ash, set aflame by devouring cobalt fire. Two massive limbs stretch out from behind Lucien: two arms made out of the burning flesh and bone of other arms, amalgamating into two limbs with each hungry fingertip clawing at the thick fog, [i]hungry...[/i] There is only a flash of a silhouette against the thick fog: the form of Lucien outlined by burning wings and two massive extra arms, holding a flaming sword and pistol like some demented angel of Eden. Then the fog creeps over his silhouette, leaving Xavier in the thick fog with that [i]thing[/i] hidden somewhere.

-
Edited by Chinkronomicon: 10/30/2016 4:23:23 PMThrough the fog comes a massive veiny and burnt arm, each smaller appendage creating it clawing at the air. The taloned finger of each hungering hand that acted as the giant hand's fingers smashed Xavier in the mask shattering the ODST-style helmet. For a moment he sees him, standing amidst the fog. An angel who feeds upon his own wings to tame the inner demon. https://imgur.com/Kd304 The cracks on Xavier's helmet begin to spiderweb across his visor, almost as if consuming the very glass itself... It would be better to take off at this point due to vision being obstructed.
-
[i]He threw off his helmet, continuing his walk.[/i] "I know it was a mistake using that ability... Accidentally causing you pain by showing you him... But I can help you." [i]He got ready to fire the next time he appeared.[/i]
-
And then the world around him fractured into a thousand pieces. The fog suddenly stopped moving and became fully opaque before spiderwebs of energy similar to Xavier's break out all along the area around him. These fractures soon turn into cracks until the entire scene around Xavier breaks apart into a thousand intangible pieces. In front of Xavier was the same prototype machine that broke his reality all that time ago. Pieces of his University were scattered all around him - with all of his friends impaled on shards of different dimensions, infinite possibilities made viewable. Every one of Xavier's friends that helped work on the machine were splayed out gorily on massive fragments of dimensions, like a shattered mirror each reflecting a different possibility. All of the corpses shared the same violet eyes. No whites or pupils. Just Violet. [b]YOU DID THIS TO US.[/b] They all speak in unison, their voices resounding across a multitude of realities.

Edited by Tamedfrog: 10/30/2016 9:55:13 PM"Ah... Ah crap..." [i]He looked around, presumably were his subconsciousness is. This is fake, this is fake... He needed to hold his will...[/i] "Vinnie did this to all of us. This is not my fault, but his. He shouldn't have touched that machine, and neither of us should have." [i]He fired at seemingly nothing.[/i] "If you want to inflict Trauma on me, go ahead. I've lost it a long damn time ago."
-
[b][i]"YOU WANTED TO PLAY GOD. SO HERE IT IS: THE FATE OF FOOLS WHO BELIEVE THEY CAN BECOME THE VERY FANTASIES MEN WORSHIP."[/i][/b] The voice that speaks is sinister and metallic, almost as if speaking behind that gas mask of his, but multiple mouths and voices are also speaking at the same time. From one of the shattered mirror dimensions arises one of Lucien's colossal extra arms, claws grabbing hungrily at the void around it. The massive hand pulls the corpse of Vinnie from a dimension shard, ripping through his shoulder. His rotting flesh begins to knit itself together as he stares and points at Xavier. "Don't... you dare... BLAME ME!" The dimension machine breaks apart and melds itself to Vinnie, likewise with all the other bodies of Xavier's friends. They all began whispering the same thing: [i]"It could've been us who lived. It could've been us who became the hero - but no. Xavier had to take our lives. Xavier had to erase us from every dimension.[/i] And with that, the flesh colossus of Xavier's dead friends begin to sob, screeching so loud that they shatter other shards of dimension.
-
"Heh. Heheheheh. Heheheheheheheheheh..." [i]He began waking up to the machine, the fact that he was slowly going crazy making him say weird shît.[/i] "Trust me. I am not trying to play 'God'. We are all human, from each background. And the ones that tried to call themselves 'Gods' are just ignorant fools. I carried on for you guys, fixing that godforsaken place of a dimension. And your other dimensional selves were there for me, to... Replace you." [i]He then was standing a few centimetres away from the machine, after walking and saying whatever gibberish he was saying.[/i] "?enoyrevE ,thgir taht t'nsI" [i]He then put his hand up to the machine, Transparent energy making his hand looking like it was seen from a broken mirror, and small, polygonal shapes extruding from his hand. He was trying to do something with the machine.[/i]
-
All the voices merged into a chorus of accusations, still enumerating Xavier's sins even if he cared not for it. They screamed at him as he began to interact with the machine before advancing upon him. The flesh colossus swings its claws made out of Xavier's friends's corpses towards the man tinkering with the machine. They sobbed and screeched, all attempting to grab Xavier and name his past wrongs. Strangely enough there was no sign of Lucien. Only the corpse monster attacking him and the stinging scent of burning flesh and sulphur surrounded by fragments of broken dimensions.

Edited by Tamedfrog: 10/31/2016 12:48:57 AM"Trust me, I already have a few things wanting to kill me for causing this..." [i]Suddenly, the flesh golem found that there was large, polygonal shells growing out of it. It seemed to be getting infected from the glitches he made from the machine, and was rapidly hindering it.[/i] "...is this too much to ask for you to bloody stop?" [i]A strange ghost warped on top of the flesh golem. It had red, glowing lens flares for eyes, and it's fabric was made out of something outside of a realm. It seemed to 'glitch' as it was blown by the wind. 'Anomalies', Xavier called them. The Anomaly let out a distorted shriek before going inside the golem, trying to hijack it's body, so that it could take it for itself and kill Xavier.[/i]
-
The golem screamed and submitted to the ghost, becoming fully under its control as it writhed around in its living agony. Lucien appeared in front of Xavier, firing three shots of .45 colt. What was noteworthy was the fact that it seemed that the fog had mysteriously disappeared as fast as it was summoned. No traces of the miasma were there - only the broken, mirror-like surroundings of Xavier.
-
[i]He rolled away from the bullets, pulling out his Mag rifle and suppressing Lucien's Fire. Meanwhile, the flesh golem, now a Anomaly golem with polygonal armour around it's whole body, lashed out at both Lucien and Xavier. He sidestepped the golem's arm and began to sprint.[/i]
-
[spoiler]Bruh this sounds like SIVA lmao[/spoiler] Lucien performed a masterful backflip and took a calculated potshot at the Anomaly golem's eye before rushing at the beast with his sword, also firing .410 shotgun shells in Xavier's direction to space the two apart. He then began whirling in and around the golem's legs in a flurry of slashes, severing rotting tendons and burning polygonal growths on the beast.
-
[i]The golem managed to get it's arm out, which it then used to slide across the floor, attempting to sweep Lucien away. Xavier obligingly ripped out the sword, and started climbing up to it's face. The golem was unfazed by the bullets, perhaps something a bit more powerful could do the trick.[/i]
-
Lucien twisted a black ring on his finger which ejected three razor spikes facing towards his palm. He ran the spiked ring over the flesh of his left forearm, producing a flash of viscera, ash and blue flame. When his hand came off of his forearm it was holding a rather cruel-looking spear made of ash, the entire weapon being some kind of polearm comprised of cinder, flame and bone with the tip being jagged and somehow... Hungry. He hurled the spear towards the giant's face - he didn't need for it to be a dead-on headshot. He just needed for it to impact the beast.
-
[i]And of course, it did hit. It slightly reeled back, wondering what's going to happen next. Slightly aggravated, it slammed it's foot down, generating a shockwave. Meanwhile, Xavier finally managed to get to the shoulders off the golem. He brung out Lucien's weapon and started slashing wildly at it's shoulder.[/i]
-
The flaming sword's heated edge sliced into the flesh golem's rotting skin, the fire running along the metal setting each wound alight with blue fire. Meanwhile, the barbed spearhead impales itself in the beast and sends out multiple lashes of thorny roots inside its body. These spiked roots sprout more thorny tendrils inside of the golem, shredding organs and parts of outer flesh alike. If it was pulled out, it would likely rip apart the insides of the monster. If it was not, it would most likely continue to spread within it. The air still stung, smelling of brimstone and burnt flesh.
-
Edited by Tamedfrog: 11/2/2016 1:46:29 AM[i]Xavier stopped slashing at the golem, looking up at the spear thing. He jumped, stabbing the sword into the golem's face to anchor himself. He then started to climb up, putting his feet on the sword anchor and pulling the spear out.[/i]
-
Xavier could most likely hang on the spear if he so desired. The spear's branching head was stabbing into everything in there - he would either need something stronger to pull it out or something heavier to attach to the handle and let gravity do the disembowelling.
