Sutoratosu Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Ethic stood there, somewhat dombfound by what was transpiring. He and Ixidor had run out to join an older gentleman who had saved them from the lion, then a man he saw enter the ruins before, one of the ones he felt would be trouble, starting opening fire like a lunatic, at first killing the lion, then trying to kill Mr.Taylor, who was inadvertently saved by some barrier. Then a stranger came up and asked for their names, but before he could answer, even more craziness went down with shadows and all types of nonsense. The next thing he knew, everyone in the group was running for some reason. Then he saw it. There was a wave of shadow beings surging down the Isle. "Sweet damn..." He said, preparing to follow the strangers advice and run for his life, but he stood before he could run. No... You must be what tried to grab me back in the darkness... It was a sudden thought, but made perfect sense. The screams these things were making sounded exactly the same as before. The surged ever closer, Ethic simply standing there in diffiance. His cards burned as bright as the sun, and he was enveloped in a fierce white light. ------------------------------------------------------ Ethic found himself now standing in some strange space with a mirage of lights in the background. Lining the area were huge versions of the Arcana, each one had a figure standing beneath it, seemingly related to the card's namesake in some way. in the middle of the circle of 22 stood a lone figure with a cloak upon his shoulders. he spook, and those standing beneath the arcana bowed to Ethic for some reason. Chosen Child, Ethic. Thou hath been deemed worthy to wield the wrath and the unbridled might latent in the Arcana. "What...?" His cards flew out of the Jacket pocket, the entire deck beginning to revolve around him, the 22 major arcana glowing. Go forth, Ethic. Continue thine journey into the depths. For when thou shalt call upon the Arcana, thou shalt be answered without hesitation. Go forth, Chosen Child! Go forth and triumph!! The cards revolved around him faster and faster now, before he could ask anything more, he was again engulfed in light. ------------------------------------------------------------ He again stood before the wave of shadows. "What the hell was that?" He asked himself, suddenly realizing that he was back in the library, about to be killed by whatever these things were. he then had a thought. Hmph... Chosen Child, huh? Wielder of the Arcana? I think it's time I test that theory. He then reached into his jacket pocket, already knowing which of the arcana he will draw upon. he thurst out his hand, which was bathed in a white energy. "Number 20, the arcana of the Final Judgement!" The tarot deck again blazed in light, the card Judgement flew out of his Jacket pocket, spinning before Ethic's face, then stopped and grew twenty times larger as it flew high into the air above Ethic's head. His whole body now engulfed in white energy, Strange text burned in the air around him. A thunderous voice boomed. "And the seven were released to cleanse the world." (Theme of the Final Judgement) Trumpets sounded through the air, blowing in unison seven times. Seven Angelic figures emerged from out of the enormous card's surface, swords and spears drawn. They descended into the mob of shadows, ripping and tearing, Hacking and Slashing, all the while bathed in a hollowed light. The screeching of the shadows was deafening. With in minutes, the slaughter was over, there was now trace of the shadow beings. The seven returned to the Arcana of the Final Judgement, revolving around it, then merging back into the cards surface. the seven trumpet blast ended as the Arcana strung to it's original size and descended down ward through the air, landing squarely in Ethic's hand. He felt fine for a few seconds, staring down at the card. "Looks like That theory was indeed correct." Then it hit him like a brick wall, Exhaustion and Fatigue, a long with pain. He dropped to his knees, unable to stand, and began coughing uncontrollaby, forcing him to all fours, His vision developing black spots, it was all he could do to remain conscious. after a few minutes the coughing fit stopped. Trembling, He looked at the white marble beneath him. On it was a decent sized blood splatter. He reached up to his mouth, his fingers coming away completely covered in scarlet.

Rosesong Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Rose dropped her bravery as the creatures let out a chilling scream. Turning she began running as quickly as she could, not seeing the child-shadow transform behind her. Darting between piles of books, she heard a girl's yelling. "GO AWAY!" Following the voice, Rose was shocked to see a young girl throw a book at a shadow creature before beginning to run away. In her hands was a humongous teddy bear. Taking a deep breath, Rose jetted after the girl, picking her and the bear (God it was heavy) up into her arms and continuing to run. Glancing back, she noticed the shadows were beginning to catch them. Acting out of desperation, Rose hollered, "Go somewhere else! TELEPORT!" Suddenly, the heinous sounds from the creatures had disappeared, and she looked to find that they had, in fact left. "This is the second time I can't explain something," Rose thought, before looking to the girl in her arms. She didn't appear to be fazed at all. Setting her down, Rose smiled at her. "Hello, I'm Rose. Who are you?" When the girl gave no response, Rose continued, "I'd like you to join me while traveling through here. Neither of us should have come alone, and there's safety in numbers. Whataya say?" Before she got an answer, Rose gripped her head as it exploded into a massive headache.

K_H Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) as Kenny Regained Consciousness, he saw a brilliant flash of light, and when the light faded, a giant card filled his vision. it then erupted into seven angels who defeated the shadows, with a loud voice saying "And the seven were released to cleanse the world." then, once the angels had obliterated their targets, they went back into the card, which then shrank back to normal size. then, the person who'd just unleashed that power collapsed to his knees, coughing. Kenny hurried to his side. before the man could collapse, he and Kenny glowed Turquoise as Kenny used his aura to heal the mysterious man. "after that stunt you just pulled off, it's the least i could- Agh!" Kenny then collapsed yet again, with a massive headache.

Sutoratosu Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Ethic felt a healing wave pass over him, aware of someone at his side. The coughing and the stabbing pain in his chest all ceased, and he was able to retain consciousness. He heard someone speaking beside him. "after that stunt you just pulled off, it's the least i could- Agh!" He looked over, no longer feeling the fatigue and pain, to see the same stranger who had saved Mr. Taylor now on the ground, clutching his head in apparent pain. Ethic rushed over to help, figuring this is where the healing force came from. "Yo, man, You alright?" He reached into his burlap bag slung over his shoulder and pulled out some generic migraine relief tablets and a bottle of water and handed them to the stranger on the ground. "Here! I don't know if they'll help, but take two." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_H Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) "Here! I don't know if they'll help, but take two." the mysterious man handed him a water bottle and headache medicine, which Kenny accepted and used to relieve his headache. "thanks. you do not know how thankful i am that you had that power ready. by the way, my name's Kenny. who're you?"

Sutoratosu Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) "thanks. you do not know how thankful i am that you had that power ready. by the way, my name's Kenny. who're you?" "I'm Ethic." He replied. "As for that power, I didn't really know I even had it. One minute I'm standin here, bout to be run down by shadows, then the next minute I'm in some weird rainbow lighted place talking to an old man in a hood, and then... I just kinda did it without thinking." He got up. The Final Judgement Arcana now had a new sensation to it, different than before. It was also covered in Ethic's blood from his coughing episode, he wiped it off and put it back with the deck, Extending a hand to help the other guy up. "I should thank you for saving mine and Ixidor's elderly acquaintance, Mr. Taylor, from that lunatic wielding a shotgun and spouting out something about sermons." He looked back to the group, glad to see that no shadows had gotten through to anybody. Though, he wouldn't have minded if one had gotten through and torn the shotgun wielder to shreds.

Nephthys Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) "run this way! i've got a portal open, and those creatures aren't nice!" Ellaria followed the voice an then, everything went mad. A lot of voices, noises and screams echoed on her head, making her a little dizzy. She fell on her knees and become invisible. "And the seven were released to cleanse the world." "after that stunt you just pulled off, it's the least i could- Agh!" "Yo, man, You alright?" "Here! I don't know if they'll help, but take two." "Here! I don't know if they'll help, but take two." "I'm Ethic." "I should thank you for saving mine and Ixidor's elderly acquaintance, Mr. Taylor, from that lunatic wielding a shotgun and spouting out something about sermons." Shaking with fear, still invisible she asked: -WHO IS THERE? WHO IS ETHIC? WHO SAVED ME? TELL ME YOUR NAMES!

Ragnar Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Ixidor was frozen in fear as a bunch of shadow creatures ran wild through the halls that they're standing. He was caught in rock and hard place betweenthe spawn of shadows and the hitman with the shotgun as he gaze upon his cold eyes as he takes a gulp and hesitated what to do next. As Ethic flashes the his powers at the enemy shadows and seems to get the job done, he finds opportunity and decided to run away as he gets his sketchpad on the floor from the previous aisle. "Ok i know you can do this Mister Ethic is counting on me so far I've done a lousy job...Argh." as he picks up his pad. he takes a peek of what is happening on the halls as the Kid from before Kenny was being treated by Ethic. as he saw a mysterious man with a purple shirt pass by him(Damian) "Hey! mister! can you help us please! ?" he cried as the man seems to be in a hurry. Ixidor chases him but got lost on track in this library maze. As He saw a young girl holding a child in the corner of the aisle that seems to be suffering from a headache. He was too afraid to approach them so he conceal himself behind the bookshelf observing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_H Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) "heh. it seems that you're not the only one who recently gained a new power, Ethic. i only found that i had these... well, Aura Manipulation powers, after entering the hill. that's the first time i've used the Healing variant of it. i also noticed that the different types of my power are denoted by different Hues of the Color Blue. Turquoise is the Healing Aspect, Indigo is the Spacetime Warping Aspect, Dark Blue is the Matter Creation Aspect, and Light Blue is the Defensive aspect. i don't know if there are any other ones... but enough on that, i see that you've got a Tarot Deck. i'm presuming that's where you got that power from. oh, and i knew that the trigger-happy guy is a little Kooky when he fired on the others." then, an idea came to Kenny. "I just thought of something. perhaps there's another Aspect to my Aura, the Offensive/Enhancement Aspect. i think that it's denoted by a Pure Blue Hue..." he then noticed the guy from the large group who had the Sketchpad. "Excuse me, Ixidor, but i'd like to see if my latest theory about my power is correct, and i think that we should find out!" unfortunately, Ixidor just went off in another direction, chasing damion. "oh well, guess i'll just have to wait untill a later time to test it out..." he then felt another presence nearby. "Hang on a sec... There's someone here with some kind of cloaking. they're nearby, but i don't know where." Edited April 27, 2014 by K_H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Ethic listened as Kenny explained his powers, then had some kind of Idea, turning to the group and asking Ixidor. "Excuse me, Ixidor, but i'd like to see if my latest theory about my power is correct, and i think that we should find out!" Except that Ixidor was not with the group any longer, though he had been there a few seconds ago when Ethic looked. "Ixidor? Yo, Ixidor, Where are you!?" He called. He heard someone calling out for Ethan or something in an unknown direction, but paid no mind to it, he had the more important task of finding his young and noobish friend. He turned to Kenny "Look, man, We've gotta find him. He'll get himself killed without someone to watch out for him, and there are more crazy people like Shotgun McGee in here, I saw them come in." With that he raced off to find Ixidor, he reached inside himself and ordered the cards in his pocket to once again start surging with power as they did before, preparing himself to call on them again in-case they were needed once more Edited April 27, 2014 by Legendaries tamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethic then raced off after Ixidor, and kenny thought to himself: hoo boy, things just got interesting. "Hey, Ixidor, I'm Coming!" Kenny then opened a portal to Ixidor's location, stepping out right next to Ixidor. then, the two in front of Ixidor surprised Kenny. "What the..." Both of the unknown people were Young Girls!

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 "Well they are no fun, running off. Might as well continue looking for the treasure while they are scrambling" Thought Byron to himself. It had been awhile since Byron heard any noises of the others He had been walking for a little while now, when he came across something strange. Under a glass case at the end of one of the aisles was a Black Stone. It was about the size of his head. Byron's courtesy got the better of him. He lifted the glass off the Pedestal, leaving the Rock sitting there. It had strange runes Carved into the side of it, but that was the least weird thing. Byron Noticed it was slightly pulling on the metal of his belt buckle, and the metal in his guns. "A Lodestone? What the hell is that doing here? Not everyday you find one of these." Byron thought aloud. "It must have some significance if it is here,and Lodestones are pretty rare, being naturally magnetic and all." Byron went to take the stone, but as soon as he touched it searing pain racked his body. It shot from his hand all the way throughout. He collapsed to his knees, screaming in pain. He felt his body shifting, bones reshaping, muscles moving into new places. It hurt more than anything he had ever experienced before. Then he noticed he started to sprout fur. He felt even more pain as his very skull rearranged itself. By the end of the process Byron was gone, a new stranger creature in his place. "Hmmmm, where am I?" said the new creature in his deranged voice. "Oh, that is a nice looking stone, I think I will take it." The new creature placed the Lodestone into a messenger bag he was carrying. Somehow most of Byron's Gear and clothing survived the transformation, even if his mind didn't.

Sutoratosu Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Ethic had run the portal with kenny to find Ixidor and a women and a young girl. Then he heard the same voice that had called out for Ethan as another Young girl came out of nowhere, Kenny didn't really seemed phased by her sudden appearance, just told her his name. she answered back. "I'm Ellaria. Where we are? I came here to scape from the rain and everything went mad, you known... " Ethic answered. "we're inside the hill... or rather, we're under it..." He looked over to Ixidor, satisfied that hi friend was seemingly unharmed, he continued. "My name's Ethic by the way, and I'm the Guy who took out the shadows just a few minutes ago. Mind if I ask you this: Who is this Ethan that you were calling out for, a traveling companion?" He then heard a scream of pain coming from the opposite aisle, curiously, he went over to where Ixidor was standing and looked through the small alcove inbetween the shelves, investigating. What he saw was a... a man sized rat... And it was wearing Shotgun McGee's gear and clothing, which could only mean.... "Mother of God..." He whispered "The legends were true... Were-persons do exist..." He increased the energy he channeled to the deck, preparing to fight this rat man which had to be the lunatic shotgun wielder from earlier. Kenny said something "What the heck was that?!" He replied. "Shotgun McGee, everyone be quiet for a moment...he might not notice us..."

Sutoratosu Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Ethic had seen what the crazed man would do before with mr.Taylor, that's when he realized that mr. taylor was still out in that Aisle. "Damn..." Ethic said. His cards began to fly out of his deck and circle around him as put even more energy into them. He focused on one card specifically: the Chariot. That's when the Rat man leapt to the top off the book case. "Oh HELLO BOYS!!!!!!!!!" "Sh*t!!" Cried Ethic. He redirected his focus from the Chariot arcana to the Final Judgement Arcana, hoping to get rid of Rat Man. "Let's see you fight some Angels, You Psycho-path!!" But to his chagrin, it didn't respond to his power. Almost as if refusing to. "You're kidding me, right..." He muttered That's when a blast of kinetic force send the book case knocking over. he didn't know where Rat Man had gone, but He looked over a kenny regardless "I don't know how you did that, but nice job."
