Heroes Uprising Part 12

Troy: Fire boy is not very happy right now, alright.
Katy: So... who's this then? (referring to Manny)

..................................................

*Suddenly the entire area seems to fade into complete darkness. From seeming nowhere Amber is sliced across the right shoulder.*

...: So, we have a visitor.

(It's Ted.)

Yamairo: A favor...what is it?

"Bernard is surprised as Yama lowers his enmity towards him, but keeps his"

Hunter. Be careful Yamairo...

---

"Amber takes a step back"

Amber: What the...all my senses are. This is...calm down. Even if he's stopping me from aiming, I just need to go for a large area of effect

"Amber starts to focus, as the temperature seems to drop, not physically but mentally"

Amber: You who crosses between sky and earth, gently flowing water, gather in my hand and give me power...

"With each word, the room seems to slowly gain a watery cold mist, increasing in denseness. Although no visible due to the orb"

Amber: Demona Crystal!

"Anything within the fog is suddenly frozen"

*After a few seconds, the darkness in the room seem to fall. It appears Amber's attack had hit it's make.*

...: My my, your quite the strong one are you. Not many can counter attack that trick so well.

*In the door opposite from where Ted entered, we see Misery standing there.*

Misery: I wonder however, if you can get past me so easily.

Amber: He's...a magic user

"Amber wastes no time"

Amber: Bolts of Balthakk!

"Putting as much power as she can into the attack, she fires a huge bolt of energy straight towards Misery"

(when Shawkun eventually gets here, you can go 3 on 1 on her)

*The suit revealed Terrell's face, so Yamairo could look him in the eye when he made his request. His eyes moved toward Benard before quickly shifting back toward Yamairo. He pushed himself off the roof of the vehicle, and was now standing.*

Terrell: Well... It's more of a favor I'm asking of James, but I don't mind telling you if he can hear from where ever he is. I want you to alter Riya's perception... I want to be dead. If she finds out that I survived the gamma radiated cancer, she'll come looking for me, and I don't want that. Whether or not I become your greatest foe or companion, I need you to do this for me. If you don't want to, I understand. Helping a guy like myself isn't something SXM does.

"Yamairo looks at him for a while. He sighs, and the nods"

Yamairo: if you want that so badly...fine then. James can do it. Terrel I...

"He's about to say something, but silences himself"

Yamairo: It was a pleasure. Good luck...and I hope we do not meet again, because I fear what will happen when we do

(Alright. How long would you prefer till he shows up?)

*Misery reacts quick in his defense, summoning a it would seem that absorbs Amber's attack.*

Misery: That display of magical energy, it truly is something else. I best not let her get off to many of those attacks.

*Misery appears to quickly focus on something, before turning his full attention back to Amber.*

Misery: There will be no more of that Amber. A class B will do for you.

(well...fuck)

"Amber suddenly realizes her powers are sealed"

Amber: Damn...I can't access anything...he's sealed me off from Universal Sources and Divine Sources...I can't even access my own innate powers...this is very bad, very bad indeed

"Amber attempts to force her way through the seal, but suddenly screams out in pain"

Amber: Da....damn...

(given the situation, give it a while.)

*Terrell performs a jumping back flip in order to plant his hands and feet onto the wall of the building he had been on moments ago. The suit masked his face before he spoke again.*

Terrell: What is there to be afraid of Yama! I'm working for the president now; The guy who helped Milo out. Then again, who knows what this Jorgan guy has planned. Guess you won't know till the next time you see me, which I know you will.

*Terrell used his strength to launch himself into the air before swinging away from the area. Night was beginning to become the setting, and Terrell still had some fun things to do. He couldn't say he wouldn't miss his old life, but he felt that this was best for him.*

Misery: Well now, it seems not even you can break the seal. To be honest, I've been wanting to try in another magical user of your level for quite a while. I must say I'm rather pleased with the results. Now, what to do with you. Maybe I'll seal you away inside a vase forever. *grin* So, so many options.

"Yamairo and Bernard watch him off. James tells them to come inside"

James: Alright, I planted a psych tracker on him. I can follow him easily, even take him over if I have to
Yamairo: That's a last resort you hear me? We can't mess this up for him...not if Jorgan doesn't do anything bad. Anyway...where's Dale?
James. He should be here soon

---

Amber: No...fucking...way!

"Amber's entire body starts to contort in pain. She extends her hands, and something white suddenly starts to form in her hands, and finally, the light vanishes and reveals the Soul Sword. Amber uses it to stay up as the stress finally weakens her legs to a point she can't handle"

Amber: Come at me then...

"She gets back into a stance, ready for the attack"

Misery: Your quite the determined one, I'll give you that.

*Misery holds his left arm forward, towards Amber. He quickly summons a fire blast that heads towards Amber.*

Misery: Lets see how long you can last though.

*Terrell made his way toward center Manhattan, and soon found himself in an alley. Knowing his desires, the symbiote changed his wordrobe. He was now wearing a black button down shirt, blue jeans, black sneakers, and a pair of shades. Terrell walks out of the alley and enter a club where the song Empire State of Mind Was already playing. Terrell had an under 21 wristband, but the symbiote changed that with ease. Terrell walks up to the bar with a smile.*

Terrell: Cranberry Vodka!

*We check back in to see Troy just finishing recalling what happened.*

Troy: And now here we are.
Sandra: If this doesn't correct itself... I guess I'll be able to feed Katy some information telepathically, even then though, she wouldn't remember everything, and what she would remember wouldn't be her own actual memories, so it'd have gaps in the information. Anything we don't know about... well, I can't help her in that regard.

William: Don't. Don't tell her anything she doesn't need to hear. Stick with this like you'd do normally. We can't start feeding her the info telepathically, it'll condition everything about her persona, god knows what that'll do

---

"Amber raises the sword and manages to cut the fireball in half with the magic properties of the sword, and then launches herself towards Misery, attempting to slash at him"

Sandra: Hmm... alright... I'll leave her be then.

................................

*Misery quickly summons a sword himself, and moves forward to meet Amber in the attack.*

"Both swords clash in the center"

Amber: I'm not a sword fighter in any way shape or form...if I engage him like this, I'm dead but...No other choice

"Amber pushes forward and breaks the stalemate and then goes straight for a slash at the neck"

*Misery allows himself to step back, managing to position his own sword in time that it knocks Amber's attack to the side. Keeping the blade in 1 hand, he uses the chance to throw another fire attack at Amber.*

.................................

As Troy waits, Tanya and Tesla walk in.*

Tesla: Oh, hey guys. William, if you see Yama or someone, tell him Zach took off.
Tanya: I've already checked the island. He's not here.

"Amber stretches out her hands"

Amber: Shield of the Seraphim

"She raises the shield and blocks the attack, but suddenly falls to her knees in pain"

Amber: Damn...damn

"She can barely stand now"

Amber: I...can't let...this happen...not again...

"She raises herself, and the ambient in the room changes"

Amber: If this is the only way...I'll keep doing it. I'll keep digging into the worst of me if it's what it takes to do this job...because otherwise, what good will I be.

"Amber contracts in pain as the dark magical energies start to gather, just like with Black Heart"

Amber: I can use the Soul Sword as a medium...that'll help stabilize it. I have no idea what'll happen to the sword...but I'll worry about that later

"It continues to gather"

Lord of the Darkness and Four Worlds, I beseech thy fragments;

"One verse is enough to nearly knock her out, but she continues"

by all of the power thou possesseth, grant the heavens' wrath to my hand;

"The black energy starts to feed of her state and corrupt her body, yet she continues"

unleash the sword of dark, freezing nothingness;

"With the third verse, her body might as well be dead, the pain seemingly numbing more than hurtful"

by our power, our combined might, let us walk as one along the path of
destruction: Ragna BLADE!

"Just like before, the energy gathers in her hands, and passes to the blade, forming a clean black energy sword. Amber nearly falls over, but suddenly, black energy from the blade forces her to keep her stance. Her eyes spark for a second, with a black void, before returning to normal. Her senses come back, and the pain goes back into overdrive after overcoming the Seal with pure force"

Amber: w...w...well then...com...come on

"She stretches out the blade"

Amber: I...don'...don't have all day

Misery: Fight right till the very end. I enjoy people like you, I can put them thought more pain.

*Misery steps forward, the tip of his blade let down, so it scrapes along the floor for a few steps. Misery then attacks again, holding the blade firm and low, he heads in for a attack on the stomach or chest area.*

"Amber brings down the sword with all her might, ignoring her body slowly overcome with both the pain, and the dark energies she's pulling in with the Divine Conduit."

"When she does, Misery sees what'll happen as if instinct, and dodges to the side. Amber's blown cuts through the area he was, and continues, as the energies cut straight through the mansion, going outside and continue the cut for a good few miles of open land"

Amber: Da...damn...I lost control...

"Amber readies the sword again and prepares to swing"

*As she go's to attack Misery again, Amber gets blown forward by a strong telekinetic force. A figure then walks in through one of the doors, revealing none other then Shawkun.*

Shawkun: tsk tsk, Iliria isn't going to like the damage you caused Amber.

*His first objective before Amber even gets back up is to unfreeze Ted.*

Shawkun: Shall we end this. I could use another soul to torment.

"Amber uses her sword to stand up. She faces down the 3 members of the inner circle, as the Ragna Blade starts to curse with power"

Amber: Shawkun...been a long time

"Her attitude as changed. The pain doesn't matter, her reasons don't matter...she'll kill the 3 of them right here"

"She raises her sword and slashes down, a huge blast of energy following a like straight towards Shawkun"

*Shawkun teleports, arriving behind where the blast had past. He charges forward grabbing Amber by the face, and throwing her back against the wall.*

Shawkun: I've grown stronger then I ever was thanks to the hunters. I would not take this match lightly.

*With a swing of the arm, Shawkun sends a wave of energy in Amber's direction.*

"Amber uses the Ragna Blade to block the attack, and then aims another slash, this time horizontal, that cuts through the air at Shawkun's waist"

---

"Meanwhile, at the Brimstone Dimension, BH is still healing. Iliria is sitting there bored, when she suddenly realizes something"

Iliria: I can't reach anyone in the mansion...what the hell is going on
BH: You think it's an attack...
Iliria: Maybe...I'll go check. Stay here. We never know who it could be, and you're not fully healed from that slash Amber gave you
BH: And you care?
Iliria: "grin" maybe...or maybe I just care about my greatest ascent
