New Beginning 20: Nize Hats for everyone.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Terryffinda groaned. She never had been good at video games. And Techne knew this; she had only been called to control the Cyclopstron because Poindexter was fighting the Lok'tra aliens who had invaded Arboralia from Glocknarr. Left and right, kick, punch, she tried her best, but it seemed that nothing she did was good enough.

Nikolai was having slightly better luck with the Chimera 3.0 X-series, but not by much. The lion head had already been damaged; bringing out its healing nanocytes so early was not  a good sign. Fortunately, it could still make use of its flamethrower, which had been made to mimic volcanic-level heat, just like a REAL Chimera.

Meanwhile, Techne manned the Hydranoid in serious mode. She had equipped the robotic monster with numerous different poisons, including that of the Dipsas, the Haemorrhois, the Seps, the Hypnalis, the Praester, the Hydros and the Hydra itself. Even the Basilisk, the Cockatrice and the Gorgon. Hopefully, she'd be able to use it to its full potential.

"Oh...That's differnt. So I guess we're starting then." I look briefly at Scratch, "You don't talk much do you? No matter, I have a feeling all you'd be saying is something like 'Ah, no please don't rip my arms off Marv!'"

"Now where did that other one go?" I remark sarcastically as a shiled forms on my arm.

[Zaleramancer]

Angel leaps in from behind Marv, blade flashing.

[Zaleramancer]

Spider attempted to fend off the attacks, clocking a blow to the side that send him tumbling. With a glint of annoyance, he allowed the momentum to send him towards the ground.

Meanwhile, Raven decided a change of form was needed. Fire obscured him, only to reveal a new shape.. A fire-breathing Wyrm with a serpentine body and bat-like wings, smoke drifting in plumes from his nostrils. The Wyrm's mouth opened up to respond to the Chimera's attack in kind.

Coyote turned his head to side, wondering what the big snake thing was doing.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I hear the blade whistle through the air. I turn with lightning fast reflexs to just barely deflect it with the edge of my shield.

"Glad you could join us...again."

[Mik_Hael]

Silence ...Ripples of chaos began to spread from the nothingness srurrounding the giant core of existence  as space time itself began to undulate. seonconds lihgt seeped into time space as an audible ripping sound was heard as the pinpoints of light expanded into tears in the fabric of existence itself. Out of the largest one a gigantic clawed hand formed of a collection of cog's gears and devices forged from aglowing metallic substance reached out, nad grabbed onto the edge, ripping reality as if it were tissue paper, allowing for the rest of it's being to step through. The four were greeted by a swirlling visage of clockwark mechansms forming into a multidimensional winged humanoid giant, with eyes of flame. An instant later a blast of light similiar to lightning blanketed the figure accompanied by a large ripple in space time, the figure was replaced by a masked teenager wearing a grey sweat jacket.

"Cough Gak, Rech!!!...." Clears throat, "What the heck...ah sorry, dimensional travel always reaks havock on th eold clockwork." Hacks up plegmn. "I think I might have a solar system stuck in my left lung." regains composer, "So...who're you?"

[Zaleramancer]

Taking advantage of the three-dimensional battle ground, Angel follows the momentum of her sword to tumble below Marv. She darts to the side and then leaps upward with her sword.

Scratch begins to emit a humming sound, causing the smoke to vibrate with it. The sound oscillates in pitch and volume, as if calibrating upon a certain frequency.

[Zaleramancer]

The androgynous boy lets his sword hang in mid-air as he claps, apparently at the entrance.

"We're here under orders to.. I guess bother you. I am certain that our victory was not expected." The child-like voice rang from the small winged person, his mouth unmoving.  "I am Arieh. The elder is Gras-Har, the young man is Ego and my large friend is Anarchy."

"Try.. Must.. Try.."  Grash-Har's muttering echoed strangely.

The bulk that was anarchy merely shifted, a hand reaching for Jester.

Ego lifted his sword and moved in cautiously, while Areih pulled a sword composed of solid flame into being.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I split, literally, right down the middle. The two halves of my now completely quartz body separate, leaving empty space where Angel strikes.

"Sorry," my two halves say in unison, "but I've got a bit of split personality, if ya know what I mean."

[Zaleramancer]

Angel only smiles as she flips backwards into the smoke.

Suddenly a wave of sound emerges, as Scratch finds the right resonating frequency.. the one that shattered quartz.

[Mik_Hael]

"A fight? Cool. I haven't had a good one in ages, not since my last bought with Rhiolo at least. If you don't mind do you think we can move this to anohter place? If we knick the large glowing ball in the center there it might cause an end to all existence." Cracks neck, and then every other joint in body, "But either way is fine with me....cough!!" hacks up large burning orb. "......I'll put this back later." Stuffs into jacket sleave.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"Oh......me and my big mou-" my sentence is cut short as my body is shattered into pieces. the pieces shift to a liquid and slowly begin to meld back together. A voice vibrates from the goo.

"Ohhwww, yyoouuu our jusst the worest."

[Zaleramancer]

Grash-Har smiles vacantly and raises an arthritic hand. A glyph flows up his arm and hovers in his hand like a caged bird, glowing golden.  As the mage raises his hand, it brightens and then the world seemed to flow.

They were suddenly in a random world from one of the near-infinite universes. It appeared to be a red, cracked desert, devoid of life or sand- only packed dirt in every direction.

Anarchy continued his reaching without bothering to pause, though Ego stood there a bit dizzily and Arieh decided to take flight, holding his sword ready.

[Zaleramancer]

Agility evident, Angel once again stabbed at Marv from the smoke.

[Mik_Hael]

"Nice choise, I usually go for grass valleys myself, but to each his own I guess...So..." Bamph






"Who goes first? "

[Marvelous Miscreant]

The nearly formed me, splits apart again then reforms further back in my normal flesh form.  "Ok, now you're starting to piss me off."

[Zaleramancer]

"Wonderful! Maybe it's time.."

Angel's sword flashed brightly, before changing.. Suddenly, steel became crystalline. An aurora of light and color appeared to be trapped within it.

A technicolor blast scythed from it as she took a swung at Marv.

[Zaleramancer]

Anarchy decided it/he/they could take this being.

His titanic arm swung at the jester, entropy around it speeding up with the activity.

[Mik_Hael]

"And the first contestant is up!!  " I brace my right leg and sweep my left hand towards the oncomming arm. One quick burst of destructive energy and the atmospheric atoms around my hand destabalize, and go nuclear. I dodge the blast by porting far away from the group, while materializing a simple gun with the flames off creation. I aim at Anarchy and aura inject. Hand held lazer cannon, bang.


(This is a test run, I honestly have no idea what a giant made of pure entrophy is...okay that's a lie, but still..., so I'm hurling energy radiation at him to get a feedback bounce.)

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I have only a moment to marvel at the pretty lights before I realize I'm supposed to be fighting. I slash at the oncoming attack in response as white energy scythed off my arm.
