Heroes Uprising Part 12

"Amber looks pissed now"

Amber: STOP WHAT! DOING MY GODDAMN JOB! You're the one that's out of...LINE!

"She pushes forward, taking shadows and cosmic flames along as the cut heads straight towards Sandra"

*Sandra manages to level out the struggle again.*

Sandra: Your using all this power... and the one your after, isn't even here!! There is no reason, for this to end badly!!

*The clash between energy's starts going back in Sandra's favor once more. Jet forms the shadows into a orb once again, firing upon Amber. Misery also releases another fire attack, joining Jet's aid.*

"Amber looks directly at her and teleports. All the attacks crash on her previous position and cause a massive explosion. Form outside, that room is completely destroyed and causes a huge impact on the mansion itself."

*Sandra quickly teleports after Amber, not giving thought to the damages caused. She arrives in front of Amber once more.*

Sandra: Your playing with fire Amber, using these dark magics.

Amber: Fire, water, ice...lots of things really. Sandra, alright, here's the gist, Iliria is hiding Black Heart and I have reason to suspect that he's meddling in human affairs. I'm here to take him down, it's my job. Well, that and personal revenge for almost killing me and threating Keeth, but that's beside the point

"Amber raises her shoulders"

Amber: And come on, all of them are just evil bastards anyway, no one will miss them. Shawkun's done terrible things, Jet is the same. Those two Inner Circle guys, Ted and Misery are probably just as bad. Then there's obviously AVALANCHE. So all of them are just throwaways, who cares if they die if it means Black Heart bites it?

*Sandra actually shows a slight smile.*

Sandra: Well, I can't say about the rest. But I know Harry wouldn't approve of you killing his rival. And trust me, I hate the idea I'm actually here on their side. Are you sure however about what you said, or is it really your revenge first, and your job second. And somehow... despite they being villains, I don't see Yama approving a slaughter of them all.

Amber: Oh don't get me started on Yama. He always tries to save everyone and puts himself second because he feels it's the only way he can make sense of his own stupidity
Sandra: Wha...what?
Amber: "sigh" if you really don't know, I wont bother with you. I will say this, you can't save everyone, and the needs of the many overweight the needs of the few. But

"She cracks her shoulder with her free hands"

Amber: You are right, I was getting a bit too corroded by the Conduit...however "grin", that doesn't mean I'm backing out. Now seriously Phoenix, step aside. If you don't want me hurting the others, just make them stand aside as well. My only target is Iliria. Actually, no, I just want her to bring Black Heart here. So, stand, aside!

Sandra: God I don't believe this... but no. If Black Heart is a threat, it's your business if you go after him. But the rest... *sigh* even Iliria, I must suggest you leave alone. You should be the one backing down, Black Heart can't hide forever. But right now, he's not here.

Amber: And what do you propose I do...wait? That's not my style

"Amber raises the Ragna Blade as black energy starts to flow from it"

Amber: Out. Of. The. Way

"Sandra doesn't budge. Bellow, Manny has flow out through the roof of the mansion and is heading towards the two"

Amber: Fine then!!

"Amber brings down the blade. Sandra dodges, but just then, notices the incoming disaster. Manny is right in the trajectory of the attack. He manages to ajust himself just in time, but gets sliced right across the ribs, a massive gaping wound opening up and nearly severing him at the waist"

Manny: GAH!

"He coughs up blood, as his blue fire proves unable to regenerate his wounds and he slowly fall to the ground"

*Sandra quickly teleports in, catching Manny and helping him to the ground.*

Sandra: Damnit, you should of stayed back. Let me handle this.

*She looks back up at Amber, and teleports back in front of hr, the phoenix flaring up around her.*

Sandra: Attacking the likes of Iliria is one thing, but if your going to injure my friends, you've crossed the line. I won't allow it Amber.

Amber: Tsk...he's the one that got in the way. He didn't even get that injured, it's perfectly cura

"Before she can finish, she gets blast with phoenix flames and sent right into the ground. The forest is unharmed by the flames. Suddenly, from the ground, countless small dark magic blasts the size of bullets are launched like turrets towards Sandra"

*The bullet blast strike a telekinetic shield, that is protect by the phoenix flames as well. Sandra then teleported behind Amber, blasting her forward into the trees.*

Sandra: Last chance Amber, yield now.

"Amber uses the sword to stop herself by driving it into the ground. She then raises it again in the same swing and sends out another slash at Sandra"

Amber: Just let me take Iliria goddamn it.

"Meanwhile, Iliria is sitting down looking at her wrecked mansion. She's still grabbing her wound. Zin and Ren are watching over Shawkun uninterested, and Anna is by Manny"

Iliria: My mansion ;_;...Milo is paying the expenses for this. I wont even let him use his powers, he's actually fucking paying this time

"She turns around towards the fight"

Iliria: And now they'll do the same to my grounds. Damn it, all this because I'm being nice and protecting Black Heart. Although I get he's enjoying himself
(I suppose you understand what I mean by "sends out a slash" right?)

*Sandra avoids the attack quickly, sending out a straight forward attack of the phoenix. From the side Misery approaches Iliria.*

Misery: The seals are still in effect, but that magic, it's become to strong. I guess it's up to Phoenix now.

*A explosion occurs in the distance as both powers clashed again.*

Misery: I think we got lucky when the Sorceress hit that other phoenix guy. Phoenix herself seems more serious now.

Iliria: If they kill each other...it will be oh so glorious. But it's funny...Amber is a protector of this universe, and Sandra is the avatar of the Universe's rebirth. They are both inherently good...yet
Misery: Yet?
Iliria: The Dark Phoenix...the Darkness of the Divine Conduit. It's Light and Darkness. Both of them are bitter humans that cannot be what they are destined to be. It amuses me so much...humans are such pitiful creatures

---

"Amber slashes through the cosmic flames and goes in for hand to hand combat, actually physical assaulting Sandra with the Ragna Blade"

(be careful, the blade can and will cut through your TK shields if you're not careful)

Misery: Your one of those with a cruel sense of humor, are you. *smirk* Though if they killed each other, wouldn't we still only be down one enemy. Or have Amber actually got a means of ending Sandra, for good.

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

(Noted.)

*Sandra dukes under the blade, giving Amber a tk push to send her away.*

Sandra: She's not going to stop this without a fight.

*Sandra teleports up in the sky as another slash from the blade rips apart the landscape as it headed towards Sandra.*

"Amber has teleported behind Sandra and brings down the blade with all her might, the air rippling as it cuts through it"

Amber: I can't keep this up much longer. If I don't get her out of the way, the energies will corrode me beyond recuperation. It's a fight against time

---

Iliria: If they mortally injure each other, all the better. And from the point Black Heart was injured by that...thing, then anything is possible. Although, Sandra may loose and then Amber gets corrupted and destroys this planet...that'd be a bummer

*Sandra has to react quick, teleporting away again as the blade came mere inches from her. Arriving only a few feet to the side, enough so the blade misses, Sandra takes the chance to attack once again.*

Sandra: I don't fully understand that power Amber's using, but it's not good. If she don't stop soon... damnit Amber, you better not make me destroy you today.

"Just as the blade cuts through the air and causes a massive slice in the ground, Amber raises it again and blocks the incoming attack. Both of the fighters are face to face"

Amber: Well...this is quaint...isn't it?

"Amber breaks the hold and slices from the right at the head"

*Sandra pushes Amber herself back with a telekinetic force.*

Sandra: *telepath* Amber, I'm trying not to hurt you much here. But if you don't give this up, you'll force me to take you down. This can only go 2 ways, either the easy way, or the hard way.

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

Misery: Well, at least this is good entertainment. And it's better then television, it's live.

Iliria: She's holding something back...god forbid she

"Amber is pulled back and goes flying several feet. Suddenly, the Ragna Blade seemingly vanishes and leaves only the Soulsword"

Amber: DAMN IT!

"As the pain returns"

Amber: Out of power huh...no choice then

"Suddenly, the air changes completely. It becomes something dense and putrid, almost as if chocking everyone there. At the same time, Amber seems to emit a strange essence"

Darkness beyond blackest pitch, deeper than the deepest night!

"As if responding to those words, the air shakes. However, Amber suddenly grabs her chest in pain"

Amber:N I can't...do this...not now. It'll set this thing loose. Damn it

"Amber starts to calm down again and interrupts her spell"

Amber: Damn it Sandra...I've stopped alright...can you please now help me get at Black Heart...or at least discover what the hell is he up to meddling in human affairs?

"Amber's enmity towards Sandra isn't gone. She's obviously pissed she was forced to waste all her power on her"

"Down bellow, Iliria sighs"

Iliria: We have to go. Looks like they've stopped

Sandra: Good Amber. I'm sorry about all this, but you must realize it would of ultimately gotten you nowhere, this attack I mean. Iliria isn't going to sell out her strongest allies, and you really think Black Heart would give enough of a damn to risk his life for someone else?

*Sandra powers down as well.*

Sandra: If he is up to something no good once again, we'll help you find out what. And like I said, Black Heart will show his ugly face again.

*She teleports the 2 on the ground, near Manny.*

Sandra: You holding up alright?

"Amber pushes Sandra side, and kneels at Manny's side. She puts her hands to his wound"

Amber: The reason the Ragna Blade is so power is both because it's innate cutting power...and because it lingering energy in the spaces it cuts, preventing the natural law to repute balance. I suppose, from a scientific viewpoint, it stops the natural order of entropy. Of course, this only for the destructive values. All others are normal, and a person dies because no matter what method, it cannot alter the destruction caused
Sandra: And wounds count?
Amber: Yes. I think this is how it works. I can't be too sure, as science is not my forte. Either way

"Amber gets up"

Amber: I removed most of it from his wound. He should be able to heal naturally now. His blue flames wont do anything...now then

"Amber turns to the mansion, but Iliria as already taken everyone away"

Amber: FUCKING HELL!!!

Sandra: Hmm, are you really that surprised. She likely only stayed around as long as she did to see the outcome of the fight. More then likely she was hoping we'd destroy one another. Amber, you can back with me if you like. I have to be getting back soon anyway, as I need to help Troy with something. I'd estimate that said half hour is long since passed, he's probably pretty steamed right now.

*Sandra sends out a message to William.*

Sandra: *telepathy* The issue has been resolved for now. But it seems our old friend Black Heart may be up to something. Any word from James and Yama yet?

*After drinking his third cranberry vodka, Terrell hits the dance floor. The alcohol helped him with any fears of asking women to dance. The music was great, the women were beautiful, and he had access to alcohol. Though he had regrets for what he had done, his new life was nothing to complain about.*

Venom Symbiote: Was it worth it to you?

Terrell: That don't matter. Riya is safe, and I'm still breathing. whatever Jorgan has planned, I'll follow... I owe him.

Venom: You'll die for him?

Terrell: Hell to the no! I'm just gonna follow his lead. If my... No, if our lives are ever on the line, we'll just leave.

Venom Symbiote: You say it as if it's easy... Just enjoy your night. Make it your best...
