Return

A large gust of black smoke appeared in a forest clearing. A skeletal figure stood ambong the smoke. "Ok Ok Ok, no more smoke" as the smoke faded. and the air became clear once more. "Now plans plans plans" as he saw the crystals comming out of the ground everywere. "May the lord of the dead have mercy on us all" as he flicked his fingers and sent a stream of fire into the sky calling anyone who could see it to him. "Now we play the waiting game" as he lit up a cigar and sat down on the ground.

A Disturbance Was Nearby As Luca And Ruio Where Practicing Ruio's Elemental Abilites. Luca Looked Around Noticing A Small Black Puff Of Smoke Appearing In The Distance. Luca Stopped Ruio And They Walked To The Smoke. They Come Into The openingOf Hijo's Hut And See A Figure Smoking A Cigar. Luca Smiled And Looked To Him. "Hmm Hijo Fancied Coming Back To Stormforce Did Ya" He Smiled And Waitied For A Response.

[ I was never in the hut, pretend Im like in a foresty area but with the crystals as well]

"Of course, I cant let this place just turn into a giant crystal can I, and I also need to fix my rep that my best buddy Farius (Says in a sarcastic tone) messed up, now heres the plan. we find out whats making the crystals, and we stop them or it ok ?" as he got up and dusted off his trousers and went over to a small crystal and shafed a bit off with his knife.

[anyone can join in I dont want it to be one of those boring 2 man scenes]

Ashizukai lands with a thud in the distance, rubbing her dazed head.
"...urghh.....nurf...argh..."
Her eyes still dark red, like fresh blood.
Her cloaks torn and ripped- more than usual.
The puppets looking battered and abused, they drag along behind her, with sorrow in their eyes, but no other emotions shown in their faces. They stare blankly in front of ashiukai, looking over to the 3 figures. They perk up, grabbing onto Ashizukai's puppet strings, splinters flying off the sharp wires, they pull themselves onto her boney exo structure on her back.
Ashizukai glares up at the others, a emptiness in her deep hood...

Hijo heard movement and swivelled round putting the crystal shard in his pocket. "Azhizukai, what happened to you ?" as he lights up another cigar the smoke sifting through the cracks in his skull.

Luca And Ruio Also Look To Her Seeing That Her Eyes Are Possesed And Demented. "Ash Is That You I Aint Seen You In Ages" Ruio Walks Towards Her Carefully. "Hmm Ash Youve Been Through The Wars Or Should I Say Void" Luca Had A Smirk He Always Did And This Time It Was His Not The Clones He Had Made. "Now Hows Bout We Get On Wit Those Crystals Hijo Ruio Bring Ash Over Here And If She Attacks With The Puppets Just Say Release Me By The Name Of Nara And They Will Get Off They Always Do" Luca Contiuned To Throw Numerous Magical Blasts At The Crysta Havig No Effect. Ruio Walked Up To Ashes Face And Helped Her To The Group Knowing She Wasnt Herself He Carefully Watched The Puppet Behind Waiting For The Time They Where Going To Attack

"Screw that load of bullocks, we need to get these crystals at the source namely whoever is creating them need s a massive slap or stab or kick" as he studied the shard.

Hijo im trying to see if i can fragment the inside and get a smaple from the inside, dont forget my new power can manifest into anything i want even telekanisis an trasport so let me be" Luca snapped at Hjo kowing what e was doin

"The crystal on the inside will be the same as the outside, you are unnescacarily wasting resources" as he snapped the shard in half. "I reckon she has something to do with it looking at Azhi now

"Really Hijo" Luca Got Inside One And Pulled Out A Gooey Metallic Residue Holding I In Place Luca PutsIt Into A Small Jar He Had With Him. See Look at this its almost like its still matrialising hmm interesting".

"Yeh these crystals are new so they will still be forming, so that was pretty pointless, well done" as he walked towards Azhi and waved his hand infront of her eyes.

Her had jars to the side, the puppets mimic the motion.
"The crystals...are beautiful...they are...freedom....the angels..." She said in a toneless voice. Her eyes glare blankly beyond Hijos hand, looking deep into the largest of the still forming crystals. A wind picks up, the small flames on one of her bones spits around her, like a small typhoon, then dies out s the wind becomes stronger. Small crystal spores rippling in the gust, settling into the untouched earth and new crystals emerge almost instantly, ripping up int he ground like a flower.

"Yeh..... Luca, we need to take her to Misa kind of soon, actually no..... you need to take her to Misa, shouldnt be any trouble, with someone of your power. I have to leave soon anyway as he lights up a fresh cigar" and smashes the crystal shard.

"Misa....is no angel...i only seek...real angels..."
She jerks backwards, her cloaks shredding somemore, her human form hidden under her cloaks for once, why is she in human form, she never is. A slender long leg with a black and white over knee sock can be seen slightling through the ripped robes.

He turns back round, "Luca there is something wrong with her, definately" as he notices the ripped robes and the puppets faces, also her human form. "Basic Hypnotism ?, Possessed, Insanity ?, it is unclear but she is not right, quite possibly dangerous" as dark power slowly starts to gather around his right hand.

"No magic.......will....supress.." its said in a breaking tone, different to the others, the tone changing suddenly, " Take ..me to ...mother...."

"Who is mother Azhi, who is mother....." as he looks into the strange eyes.

"Who is mother Azhi, who is mother....." as he looks into the strange eyes.

"....Our savior...in...the ...sky..."
She looks up at the crystal sky, the red in her normally pure white eyes glinting at the crystals shine.
"she....will..come to...save us all.."

"Who is she Azhi, make sense..." As Hijo sliced another bit of crystal off, and held it up above his eye. "Its like its empty...... no power making this happen, or something to powerful to detect"

Luca looks to Ash and signals ruio to take her tio misa as soon as hijo gets an awnser out of her. "Im not to sure whats going on but hijo i need to find amelicas and breena come to the citidel i need some help with the healing the orcs are badly hurt and need heklp come after you have samples.

"I dont have much time Luca, the orks will have to wait, Azhi speak to me!" as he looks at her face now. the sample in his hand beggining to tremble with the force on it.

Luca Looks To Ash's Eyes As Does Ruio And Notices A Tint That Means Power Is Coming. "Ash Stop It, Please Im Begging You Stop It" Ruio Shouts At Her Shaking her Trying To Snap Her Out Of It.

"Ruio, keep it down, I reckon we are no the only ones here, the crystals are blocking the spirits off, I cant sense anything out of this clearing, the last thing we want to do is alert our presence to anything that might have wandered nearby" as he lit u another cigar he looked over to the topp of one of the crystals and saw something dart down into the darkness "What are the odds" he says to himself " Luca start patrolling the area the instant you see anything send a flare into the air" as he scans azhizukai for any marks that are suspicious, he sees the torn clothes and a red substance.
