Metaverse: The Void (Lux's Palace)

You'll find here all archived threads from the Phansite forum.

LuxTenebris

*A silent figure sits at the edge of the void, the once empty expanse that makes up Lux's palace is full of random objects of varying use, the air itself seems to have become more thick and it's hard to breath*

Bgammax

*walks in and looks around*
I hoped I was done with this place. But I guess, there's still something. Isn't there?

-QuietGoodnight-

There always is.

LuxTenebris

I'm not sure...but something told me to come back here...if I can't change everything will end so...

Bgammax

@Quiet
You new here? At least, I've never noticed you before.

@Lux
You mean the Void? I thought you were done with that stuff....

LuxTenebris

I wish...you can't just forget something that's a part of you. No matter what I do, I am still as much a part of this place as it is a part of me.

Bgammax

*sighs*
Yeah, I guess I've always known. You are who you are, and nothing can really change that.

Emerson

*Pops into the Metaverse behind the others*
Huh. I... think I've been here before.
Probably a long while back. Back when... oh, right.

Speaking of which, hey Gamma. How's the staff?

Shadow_LuxTenebris

Yeah, so what if I want to turn everything to a void...that's who I am and who I live for...
*A shadow figure appears from behind*

LuxTenebris

Maybe, that is my purpose...but what about everyone else?

Tatsuya

*Warps in behind them* It's what you were not what you are. People can change after all and you certainly have. Now then you want to do something about this Lux?

-QuietGoodnight-

Indeed. I am new to this place in particular, yes.

Bgammax

No one's needed their skull cracked Em. Are you volunteering?

*turns to Shadow Lux*
There's only one problem Lu... Or well, I guess I should call you Shadow. If I let that happen, I'd be breaking a promise. Lux said it himself, I can't change who I am.

LuxTenebris

I don't matter, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I just want people to stop suffering...
*Lux stands up*

Bgammax

*sighs*
Nevermind Em, a much more likely volunteer has just appeared.

Tatsuya

Gamma I'm not here to fight. Amazingly enough I care about Lux too.

Shadow_LuxTenebris

Looks like I'll have to show you that your all just puppets on strings, your all controlled by negativity and that negativity is what I was created to destroy. Destroy the puppet and you'll free the negativity up...it's really simple when you think about it.

Emerson

W-well, glad we got that sorted out.
*Quietly* The hell's his problem? First yesterday, now today...

LuxTenebris

That's...not who I am anymore...I want to change.
*Lux faces the shadow*
You're really not me...your those stupid orders I was made to follow...

Bgammax

Ok first off, I don't care for anyone. I simply have a promise to keep, got it Tatsuya?

Second, I don't really care what you think you're made to do, I can't sit back and let you destroy yourself.

Tatsuya

And how does the real Lux feel? I'm the end you're repressed emotions taken to an absurd extreme even if you aren't also infused with the hate of Nyarlathotep.

Shadow_LuxTenebris

I'm done talking to all you stupid humans...You don't even see that you're all creating what you seek to destroy, are you...
*The shadow disappears and the endless amount of junk floating around begins swirling around the party*
This is what I think of you all!

Emerson

Gamma, Tatsu, there're more important things right now that your stupid little fight here. Save it for later.

Anyways, so his Shadow's like... the lingering desire to follow his directives?

Tatsuya

And how does the real Lux feel? In the end you're repressed emotions taken to an absurd extreme even if you aren't also infused with the hate of Nyarlathotep.

Also fine Gamma whatever. But we both want to keep Lux from destroying himself? If so let's stop bickering and just do this.

Bgammax

*feigns fear*
Oh no, debris. My weakness. I'm SOOO scared. Absolutely terrified.
And you have a point Em. I'm just going to pretend he isn't here.

Emerson

Saul! Sukukaja!
*Saul appears, the a glow appears around the party*
I agree it's not completely threatening, but it's still something. Dodging is probably for the best.

Shadow_LuxTenebris

Humans like the pink haired guy are the reason for shadow in the first place, it's that negativity that brings them about...so he's the one who needs to die first...
*Objects fall on the ground and begin turning into shadows, a rock become a golem and a bike becomes a metal stickman*

LuxTenebris

Shit...don't underestimate these things...

Bgammax

OH COME ON, ITS NOT PINK. Anyways, yeah, shadows. Bit more threatening than debris. Doesn't really matter though, none of them stand a chance.

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The golem charges Gamma while the metal man stand in place with an eerie look to it*

Tatsuya

*Sarsvati appears and spikes of Earth try to impale both shadows as Tatsuya draws his machine gun and fires on the golem* Less talk more kill.

Bgammax

*using his staff as a pole, he vaults over the golem*
Hardly even worth my time honestly. Still, maybe I should show you what I meant earlier.

Emerson

Uh... well. I guess you guys've got this under control for now.

Matarukaja, let's go!
*The party is surrounded by a second glow*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

OOC: That everyone?

Tatsuya

OOC: Indeed, at least for now.

Delta-M

*Likely unnoticed by everyone, a large block of ice falls from the sky and lands with a thud. The ice melts to reveal Delta, rocking some brand new gauntlets and boots. He steps from the remaining melting with a grin on his face. With his weapons pre-loaded he looks ready to rock.*

Guess who's crashing the party?

*He points his right fist at the stickman and fires a bolt of sharp ice at it's head.*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The bullets crash into the golem causing Gamma to land on top of it and doing minor damage, since it is made of earth the earth spike is nulled, the golem grabs Gamma and holds him in place, the metal man is surprised by the earth spike but it appears to be resistant to it, it runs up to Tatsuya and begins trying to wrap itself around his body*

LuxTenebris

Why can't...I do anything...?

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The metal man is surprised by the Ice and loses his palace, knocking him down in front of Tatsuya*

Emerson

Nice timing Delta! Now, the other one.
*Pulls out a Revolver*
Hope this'll work...
*Fires Ice Dust shots at the Golem's feet, trying to freeze it in place*

Tatsuya

*he gets grabbed but Sarsvati blurs into Apollo than slings a beam of nuclear fire right into them both which washes over Tatsu harmlessly*

LuxTenebris

OOC: Is Gamma just gone?

Bgammax

*sighs*
I was hoping to ignore you, worm. But it seems you have a death wish. Now then
Blaze forth my true self! Slice him to ribbons, Shiranui.

*a blue flame appears, and from it a long, eastern-style dragon made of flame emerges, coiling itself around Gamma, before unleashing a roar, and slashing the golem 8 times (Hassou Tobi)*

Pancake_Knight

*Pancake knight falls from the sky

Oof! Ugh where am I? Oh everyone is here! Huh? Shadows? Im going to lend a hand!

Delta-M

That's another one you owe me for Tatsuya! You're going to end up racking up quite the debt if this keeps up.

*He runs to the metal man and jumps at him, arcing his right foot to strike at it's head and fire another ice bolt after the impact.*

Pancake_Knight

Oc:I can leave if im disturbing it just tell me!

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The golem's feet are frozen in place as Gamma slashes at it causing it to release Gamma and grab it's own face instead*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

OOC: No issue's I'm adaptable to an extent

Tatsuya

Tch I coulda dealt with it myself. Still it's no big deal, *he smiles* I always help my friends anyways.

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The metal man is knocked down by Tatsuya's fire attack and just as it gets up Delta strikes it in the head causing ice to form and a part of the metal man to break off*

Pancake_Knight

Ooc: cool

*Pancake knight rushes and slices the Golem, trying to decapitate it.

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The golem break free from the ice and angrily smashes it's arms at Gamma*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

OOC: I'll count that as a next turn action.

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The Metalman tries to recover and begins forming sparks all over its body before unleashing an electric attack at Delta*

Emerson

Saul, let's go!
*Em jumps in front of the golem's attack, summoning Saul around him to take the blow*

Delta-M

Say what you will, but you still owe me another, smaller favor. Now, check this out.

*With Ramses nullifying electricity, Delta barely notices the attack as he goes for on of his own. He ducks low to sweep the metal man off it's feet again before going for a punch with his left fist while it hopefully falls, firing another ice bolt at it in the process.*

Bgammax

You're getting on my nerves, earth guy.

Shiranui, Diamon....

WHat the hell do you think you're doing Em? You're in my way. No matter.

Shiranui, Deathbound

*a dark aura pulses out from the dragon, aiming to hit the golem, as Gamma moves to get around Em*

Tatsuya

OOC: Count this whenever. I gotta drive now*

*Apollo launches a few fireballs towards both targets as Tatsuya tries to blow the head off the Metalman with fire rounds from Obey* Seems to dislike fire huh. *He smirks* Good for me at least!

Emerson

I was taking the hit! And they you could hurdle over me with the staff and- ah, nevermind.

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*Delta punches the Metalman causing it to once again fall to the ground before Tatsu's fireball melts it to nothing*
*The golem tries to hit at gamma but is interrupted by Pancake Knight slashing at its side before Gamma moves around Em to hit it with Deathbound knocking it off it's feet*
*With all enemies downed it's time for an ALL OUT ATTACK!*

Bgammax

I'll crush every one of you worthless pests.

AOA initiate.

LuxTenebris

*Lux rushes in, knives at the ready*
Come on! It's time to finish this!

Pancake_Knight

Alright evryone lets work together and deal massive damage!

Y

Emerson

Heh, I've been waiting for this.
You ready?

Delta-M

Haven't done one of these in a while. Let's take em down!

*AOA agreed to.*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The party moves around the golem unleashing a volley of attacks, the golem is reduced to a pile of rubble*
Good work! You can take down a couple pieces of junk...that's right, they're all just annoyances that need to go away...
*The storm of debris increases in ferocity as a mass begins forming around the old prison at the end of the road*

Pancake_Knight

This doesn't look good!

Delta-M

They say one man's junk is another man's treasure. If you can't see the value in things then maybe I need to teach you a lesson in appraisal.

I saw we get closer. If he's going to attack us I want to see his face when we take down whatever else shows up.

LuxTenebris

That place huh...

Bgammax

*sighs*
Lets get this over with already. You can come if you want
*walks over towards the prison*

LuxTenebris

I have to go...
*Lux walks forward waiting for the others to go ahead*

Pancake_Knight

Okay! Lets keep rolling! Come on everyone :-)

Emerson

Our goal is the complete a change of heart, right?
Maybe we should be a bit less obvious with our approach? Maybe try and find where the treasure is?

Tatsuya

*he takes the lead gun at the ready* Yeah I'm not letting you go without me Lux. *He smirks and points at Lux* After all I said I wanted to be friends with you! And what kinda friend wouldn't help out?

LuxTenebris

There's no need...I know right where it is...in there.
*Lux points to the Prison, the gates are degraded and destroyed*

Delta-M

*Follows Lux. Donning a blue and purple mask before reloading his arms with darkness.*

Bgammax

*shouting back*
You can do what you want Em. I'm going to fight the thing until it submits. Not like that'll take long.
*continues walking towards the prison, not waiting for anyone*

Emerson

Right, but it's still a building with rooms and multiple entrances, right? Maybe we should find another way in or something? We don't have to go rushing into EVERYTHING head first.

Pancake_Knight

Lead the way Lux! Im right behind you!

Delta-M

Hold up there Gamma. You're not getting there without me.

*He goes to catch up to Gamma, checking his gauntlets on the way.*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

It won't be that easy.. now!
*Right as the party get's to the gate several pieces of debris fall to the ground, from them arises a strange circular creature with one eye and claws all over its body that appears to change color it looks directly at Gamma, it's color changes to blue and it charges him spinning around to try and tear at him with it's claws*

Pancake_Knight

I feel that a direct route is better, the less time we take, the less shadows we will fight!

Tatsuya

*he takes a few fire shots at it as Apollo rushes over and slams his fists into the shadow*

Pancake_Knight

Gamma! Watch out!
Pancake and Syrup fuse! I need your help Waffles!
*Waffles appears and casts a wall of Tetrakarn between gamma and the shadow

Emerson

*Sighs* Crow, you do realize that the Shadows are mostly in the quickest path, right. While it might take a little longer to walk, there'd be a good amount less of fighting.
Case in point, this shit.
*Pulls out a blue-bladed Shortsword and rushes towards the gates*

Bgammax

*sighs*
You're really wasting my time at this point. can't you just stay out of the way?

Shiranui, Ice Age.
*a wave of ice spreads out towards the creature from beneath Gamma, attempting to freeze the claws as soon as they touch the ground*

Pancake_Knight

Im just worried we would get lost.. we have no equipment to help us if we get trapped! Also the names Pancake Knight! Commit to memory!

Delta-M

Ramses, Ziodyne!

*The Pharaoh appears behind Delta and hits his staff on the ground. Delta's hands crackle with electricity as he circles around the debris creature to punch it hard with his right fist.*

Lightning Straight!

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*Everyones attacks seem to fails to phase it except Gamma who knocks it back with his attack, the creature gets back up and turn green then continues it's assault towards Gamma*

Bgammax

Wow, seriously? Some kinda puzzle.
Who has wind? He needs to be hit with wind. I brought you people for some reason, didn't I?

Emerson

Hmm. Well, that's an easy pattern to figure out. Not that I feel like telling anyone, they deserve it at this point...
*Stops a bit before the fight and summons Saul*
Prepping Ultra Charge, let's go...

Pancake_Knight

Oh so thats what the light means! Tatsuya you got wind?

Delta-M

Looks like I can't do anything right now...

Tatsuya

Wind. *His gun glows green as he fires off a few rounds into it* no clue how much it'll do though, I need more masks.

Bgammax

*sighs*
Look, if no one can hurt it, just go around. It only cares about me anyways. And I can stop it from chasing you if you change your mind.

*gets into a defensive stance*

Emerson

Tatsu! Hit 'em with all you've got!
Ultra Charge!
*Power begins coursing through the party*

LuxTenebris

*The bullets hit the creature delaying its approach towards Gamma, it's color changed to purple, the creature then continues making it's way towards Gamma spinning into a flurry of claws*

Pancake_Knight

Purple? I think its psy! Anybody got any?

Bgammax

And that's something I can deal with.
Shiranui, Eigaon.

*tendrils of darkness emerge from behind Gamma to for the creature's core*

Null

*The party doesn't feel like their being watched*
I wonder what the result will be...
*Nothing spoke*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The darkness does nothing to the creature and it moves up to Gamma slashing at him*

Null

Well, Lux, don't you think it's time for this game to end, were getting close to my prediction after all and I have a new one you're sure to hate!
*Again nothing spoke*

Tatsuya

Psy. *He blasts it again*

Bgammax

*attempts to block the creature with his staff, slowing it for a moment, before the staff is ripped from his hands, leaving a gash on his arm, forcing him to step back and attempt dodging*

Come on, stupid thing. Why isn't anything capable of a straight-up fight?

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The creature is hit once again and begins to glow white, a countdown timer begins to play as the creature stops moving*
5 minutes remaining...

Pancake_Knight

Oh no, we better hurry this up! Waffles!
*Waffles casts heat riser on Gamma

Shadow_LuxTenebris

4 minutes remaining...

Emerson

A timed fight? Hmm...
I got light but I'm pretty sure we have another, stronger, user of it.
Saul! Matarukaja!
*The party begins to glow once more*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

3 minutes remaining...

Bgammax

Well, that countdown's progressing rather quickly.
*runs over to grab his staff, and attempts to block in the direction of the shadow*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

2 minutes remaining...

Tatsuya

*he shoots himself with his Evoker and Lucifer and Satan blast it with a huge wave of Almighty light*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

1 minute-
*The shadow is obliterated with a huge overwhelming burst of light*

Emerson

Christ, Tatsu. You couldn't have waited a second more, could you?
Well, I think it's time to scan and NOT walk into another trap, thank you very much.

Tatsuya

*he bursts out laughing* Oh God it actually worked! Armageddon never works here.

Pancake_Knight

Woah, too close I agree perhaps we should find a different route!

Shadow_LuxTenebris

Oh, look another annoyance dealt with...
Looks like I'm going to have to take care of this since my so called friends couldn't.

Shadow_LuxTenebris

By all means, come right in...I'm done playing games...

LuxTenebris

Yeah, no more games...
*A tear streams down Lux's face*

Bgammax

Spoiler alert Em: I'm fighting something else. Hopefully this is the last of it.
*walks towards the prison gate, covering his wounded arm*

Pancake_Knight

Gamma are you going to be okay? I can heal you!

Tatsuya

*Lakshmi appears and casts Mediarahan* There that should help. *He begins walking as well*

Emerson

So you're not here to help Lux? Ugh, why do you have to be so damn confusing...

Um, Lux? What's up? Sorry if I'm out of the loop, but I wouldn't think this to be a crying moment.

Delta-M

That was stressful... Wonder if there's anything else like this further in. I enjoy a good puzzle, but if it's unsolvable by me it's not all that fun... We moving on or what?

*He starts walking further into the prison, then notices Gamma's arm.*

Want me to freeze that or something? You probably shouldn't leave a wound unattended to.

Bgammax

*sighs as the wound is healed*

I've told you before, I don't need any of you. Now if you don't mind. I have somewhere to be.

*picks up the pace, still walking towards the prison gate*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

It's nothing...I...just...wish I could do something more...
*Lux puts his hand on his mask*
Maybe I really can't change...let's keep going...
*Lux continues walking forward*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

OOC: Wrong account

LuxTenebris

It's nothing...I...just...wish I could do something more...
*Lux puts his hand on his mask*
Maybe I really can't change...let's keep going...
*Lux continues walking forward*

Tatsuya

Of course you can change! If I can go from just walking the earth killing monsters and training to actually caring again I'm sure you can change too Lux.

Emerson

Hey, everyone has a chance to change. Don't let anything make you think otherwise. You just have a little more to go, that's all. Stop beating yourself down.

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The inside of the prison is decorated with what appears to be robotic limbs and pieces*

Pancake_Knight

I had a change as well! Nothing is impossible!

Tatsuya

Cheery place, no worse than the TV though.

Pancake_Knight

Ooh nice scenery! I wonder if I can use any of these to make a toaster!

Bgammax

Hardly matters whether or not you can Lux. Just do it.
*ignores the parts on the walls as he walks further in*

Emerson

Kinda reminds ya' of that place where you got that gun, huh Tatsu?

Tatsuya

*whispers to Pancake* Those are his dead family man. Show some respect Christ.

Tatsuya

That it does Em yeah.

LuxTenebris

Heh, wonder if they weren't in pieces in my cognition at any point...

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*As you walk down the hall at the end is a doorway with the words welcome spray painted along with a distorted smiley face*

Emerson

*Hears Tatsu to Pancake*
And I'm officially not scavenging for parts. That's effed up...

Tatsuya

Geez seems like something Star would do... So Em time to scan, everyone halt please.

Pancake_Knight

Oh! Well that was unexpected! Sorry lux!

Emerson

Oh, right. Saul, let's go.
*Saul forms around Em, and he scans the building*

Bgammax

*sighs*
We both know I'm not waiting.
*attempts to break down the door, not bothering to see if its locked*

Pancake_Knight

We should be more careful! Who knows what would have happened baxk there without Megadolaon

LuxTenebris

They've been dead for a while anyway...not like I knew any of them.

Tatsuya

Armageddon Pancake. Vastly more powerful than Megidolaon.

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The door opens and Shadow Lux is standing in the middle of a large room holding something*
I said no more games...are you people always so paranoid?

Tatsuya

And back now. *He steps away from Gamma and the door into cover if possible*

Tatsuya

Oh nevermind. *He steps out* Yes absolutely, in my line of work paranoid people live longer.

LuxTenebris

If you want the treasure just come and get it.
*Lux drops the treasure on the ground*

Pancake_Knight

Oh right! Im not on the ball today!

Emerson

*Stops scanning*
Ugh, really? Not even, like, a minute! You have NO chill, do you?!

LuxTenebris

OOC: Wrong again...

Shadow_LuxTenebris

If you want the treasure just come and get it.
*Lux drops the treasure on the ground*

Bgammax

Whatever man, lets just get this mess over with.
*advances on the Shadow, staff ready*

Pancake_Knight

Hmm, why should we trust you?

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*Suddenly the palace begins shaking as the robotic body parts start twitching and moving*
They all had to suffer for this you know...They won't easily let you take it...

Shadow_LuxTenebris

I'm not the one stopping you anymore...

Null

Show me how empty you really are.
*Nothing was said*

Emerson

*Clicks a button on hit Shortsword, and a cartridge falls out the pummel. As the blade begins to stop glowing, a Purple cartridge is put into the pummel, and the blade begins to glow purple and black.*
Well, this might be problematic.

Bgammax

*stops for a moment, as if thinking for once*
Well.... That line's oddly familiar. But I'm not going to fight them this time. Not since Lux is here.

Pancake_Knight

Pancake Knight readies himself*

Im not exactly sure whats going on,but I can tell its no good!

Tatsuya

Lux what do you think?

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The parts begins forming around the treasure until a spider like machine made from different robotic components is made*
Dwellers of the Void: We won't let you have it...
*Dwellers of the Void begins charging its power*
Player turn

LuxTenebris

This can;t be right...this isn't what I'm fighting for...
*Lux drops to his knees*
I wanted to fight for their smiles didn't I, so why do I still crave emptiness?

Emerson

What's this? "Mr. Run-in-and-kill-everything" wants to just think about the situation for once? Who'da thunk it!
Not that it seems to be working right now. Breaking down the door seems to have only agitated them, go figure.

Saul! Marakukaja! *A glow envelops the party*

Bgammax

And now we can get this over with.
Slice it to pieces Shiranui, Hassou Tobi

*The blue dragon appears, slashing once at each of the spider's legs, aiming to cut them down*

Pancake_Knight

Waffles! Help me!
* Waffles casts Maziodyne to fry the circuitry

Tatsuya

*he sighs* Fine let's fight. *Apollo sends a massive wave of flames at them all as Tatsuya tosses a frag grenade into the crowd*

Null

You really don't understand do you Lux? Emptiness isn't something to be ashamed of, it just means you have more space to fill...
*A slight voice is heard*

Bgammax

So, someone less relevant. Did you just hear something coming from around Lux? Or was it just me?

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*Gamma cut's the legs but just as Pancake Knight fires the Maziodyne a void appears from within the abomination and sucks the magic up causing the legs to regrow, the fire is absorbed as well but the grenade causes minor damage to the structure*
Dwellers of the Void: You shall know our pain as well...
*The creature sends out a variety of weapons out at the party causing them to fly at high speeds*

LuxTenebris

A void to fill...
*Lux remembers all the people he's met...*
I remember I wanted to protect everyone's happiness, didn't I...?

Pancake_Knight

Oh no, looks like magic wont work!

Emerson

*Em puts his sword up to block the weapons*
Let's see how these things handle Gravity Dust...
Hopefully they'll stop right in their tracks.

Bgammax

*hits away some of the weapons flying at him, but is scratched by others, leaving several small cuts*
Then just hit it, hard. Seems like all your magic is doing is healing it. So if you're too pathetic to just hit it, don't waste your time.

Shiranui, Deathbound

*a wave of force emanates from Shiranui, aimed primarily at the spider*

Null

What did that happiness mean to you exactly? Is it something that you so easily would give up? Don't you want to see everyone with a smile on their faces again? If you don't fight you can't protect that...
*The voice gets a little more audible*

Pancake_Knight

Okay melee it is then! Waffles! Protect me!

*Waffles casts Tetrakarn on Pancake Knight making a small shield, before defusing and taking Pancake Knights crossbow.

Pancake_Knight

Ooc: oh Pancake Knight takes the hits from the weapons

Emerson

*The weapons that hit the sword fall to the ground, but some fly close enough to scrape him, giving him multiple cuts*
Erk, that could've gone better. Note to self: use Saul to block things.

Bgammax

*sighs*
And the voices are happening again.
Hey Em, you don't seem to be busy. Maybe you can check on Lux? You know, since there's kinda noise coming from near him? I can't be the only one hearing this.

Tatsuya

*Tatsuya attempts to dodge away from the weapons while rasing his sword to block. Apollo forgoes magic and begins punching and kicking them before trying to pick one up and toss it at the spider*

Emerson

I heard it a little bit, but I'm kinda used to weird voiced by now. I'll go check though.
And for the record, I WAS going to fight.
*Backs off towards Lux*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

Dwellers of the Void: You do not understand what it is like to die over and over again...
*Gamma's deathbound causes the construct to lose balance but a surge of energy comes from within before bolts of lightning fire off at the whole party, the crossbow bolts take a few pieces off but it's not enough to deal substantial damage*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*Tatsuya's attacks take off a few more pieces to the contruct*

LuxTenebris

I have to fight...no more running...
*Lux grab at his mask*
So get this damn mask off my face already!
*He struggles to remove the mask*

Tatsuya

Heh you can do it! Just shatter those chains of your old self and be whatever the hell you want!

Emerson

*Heads towards Lux*
Hey are you-
Oh.
You got this, Lux. Believe in yourself.

LuxTenebris

I'm not going to let anyone else try to take people's joy away...I've been running for too long now...
*The mask starts to come off and then shatters*

Bgammax

OOC: Well, random bolts of lightning. Metal Rod. Yeah, that's not gonna go well

*tries to move out of the way of the lightning, but several of the bolts are drawn to his weapon, leaving him shocked*

Sorry to breakup your reunion Tatsu, but we ARE still fighting.

*simply kneels, unable to really move*

Null

So, finally, the time has arrived...from nothing comes creation, that which is empty is given purpose through the birth of something new...the void and the origin of everything are one in the same...so isn't it about time you take up your own arms oh great creator, go forth and make a new world where all can be happy. Awaken, Phanes! The original God!

Pancake_Knight

*Pancake Knight's laser sword absorbs the electricity growing in length by a few inches

Alright lets do this!

*Pancake knight runs in front of Gamma preparing to take damage for him.More crossbow shots are fired by Pancake and Syrup

No worries! I got this!

Tatsuya

*Several of the bolts hit his sword and stun him a bit but do little damage* Still wonder why Apollo resists Lighting! *The Persona picks up a robot and smashes it against the spider as Tatsuya rushes it himself swinging his sword into anything in his path on the way*

Pancake_Knight

Good one Lux! Now lets crush this Spider!

LuxTenebris

*A massive being with skin like the stars and golden wings appears, around their neck is a serpent and they wear a celestial garb*
Persona: I am Phanes, I have come from your desire to create rather than destroy, so let us begin reworking this world to our favor...

Pancake_Knight

Ooc: oh Tetrakarn shield blocks the bolts

Bgammax

OOC: The bolts being referred to are lightning bolts, not physical. Tetrakarn wouldn't work.

Pancake_Knight

Ooc: ahh I'm an idiot again and couldn't read, Waffles is immune to lightning anyways

LuxTenebris

No more running...
Phanes!
Creation!
*A metal wall forms around the construct and closes around it*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The construct begins falling apart*
Looks like...you really are going against orders...
*The parts begin squirming around and attempt to grab at anyone they can*

Bgammax

*struggling to his feet*
No more out of these things.
Shiranui, slice them to bits. Hassou Tobi

*attempts to tear apart the pieces left outside of Lux's barrier*

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The cluster falls apart and the treasure lands on the ground*

Null

Seems my job here is done...
*The being fades away but not before showing Tatsuya a card with no name and a card showing the world*

Tatsuya

... No name and the world? No name might be Delta? But who the hell is world.

Pancake_Knight

Good job everyone! Especially you Lux!

Tatsuya

*He grins over at Lux* So what'd I say man? Told ya you could change.

LuxTenebris

Strange...I feel different than before...

Emerson

Huh. That's... wow.
I swear, we keep getting stronger and stronger users, don't we...

Bgammax

*out of breath*
Yeah... Whatever... Lux is safe now... That's what matters.

Tatsuya

*He chuckles* Oh right ASW's are built with one aren't they? Yeah getting a Persona is always like that, they're part of us yes but having one makes you different in of it's self.

LuxTenebris

*Lux's mask reappears*
It's strange but I don't really feel comfortable without it.

Pancake_Knight

Oh! Shouldn't we be running now?

Shadow_LuxTenebris

*The prison starts shaking*

Pancake_Knight

No worries,Lux! I always have my mask on! Even when waffles appears!

Bgammax

You just.... had to say something.... didn't you? Well.... its not too far. Come on Lux...
*makes for the exit*

Pancake_Knight

It was going to happen even if I didn't say anything!

Tatsuya

*He runs for the exit* Not sure why I'm running I carry Go-Ho-Ms on me.

LuxTenebris

*Lux runs to grab the treasure, a clicking sound can be heard*
I have my own way out...You're free to come along for the ride though.

Tatsuya

*He rushes back and grabs Luxs shoulder* Thanks.

Bgammax

Sometimes... I forget about that... Oh well... Have fun Lux... I'm walking back...
*continues running out*

LuxTenebris

*Lux teleports out of the Metaverse with anyone who can grab on in time*

Pancake_Knight

Thanks Lux! Pancake Syrup! Grab on!
* The 3 Pancake Musketeers grab onto Lux

Emerson

*Tries to reach Lux but fails*
Well, shit. U-uh... RUN FOR IT!
*Makes a dush for the exit*

Bgammax

*sighs*
Great... I end up stuck.... With the useless one... Probably best to ignore him.
*continues running of course*

Tatsuya

*Somehow grabs Em than goes back to Lux* Be more careful.

Emerson

Well, excuse me! I'm sorry I don't have the fucking combat abilities you guys and your god damn broken Personas do!
Now, I'd like to escape with my life, thank you very much!
*Uses his sword to boost forward with Gravity Dust*

Tatsuya

*He sighs* Okay uh have fun? I mean I kinda had you Em but sure buddy just don't die.

Bgammax

*laughs*
If you can't even defend yourself, then what's the point of you being here? The weak are stepped on or over by the strong. That's how the world works.

Emerson

The fuck do you mean I can't defend myself?! First off, I'm support, it's not really my job! Secondly, I CAN defend myself, if need be!

Bgammax

I mean you're more than satisfied just letting everyone else do the work. Maybe you CAN fight, but in that case, its worse. You're practically leeching off those ahead of you for the sake of your own comfort. People like that are worse than naive fools who love to stick together.

Emerson

I can fight, and I would've fought! But the situation called for me to be more of a backup and support to buff the party, since my damage output and flexibility are fo much lower than everyone else's!
Just because I'm the only god damn strategist of this god forsaken team doesn't mean I can't fight! All you do is hit things till they die! Let's see how long you last with that strategy! Once you find something that's immune to your attacks, you'll be down on the ground with no one to help you because you're such a stuck up prick that no one fucking likes!

Pancake_Knight

Ooc:I think Pancake Knight has a lower dps

Bgammax

*begins laughing*
Now I finally get to hear what you really think of me. I like it a lot better.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I don't want or need anyone's help. If I get into any sort of trouble, its my fault. And I'll deserve whatever consequences come of it. Unlike you and your precious friends, I don't seek to get out of a situation by letting someone else do it for me. If I beat it, I beat it. If I don't, then I suppose that's it. That's how its always been, and that's how it'll always be.

Emerson

OOC:
I'm literally built for Support. I have shit Magic and Strength, and only 1 attacking Spell in Kougaon.

Emerson

*Tries to calm down*
I-I suppose that isn't the worst mindset ever, but no one will think lower of you if you rely on others. No one cares if you can't do everything on your own, because no one can. We all need other people if we want to succeed.
*Sigh* I'm done trying to get you to understand this shit. I'm gonna go home now, if you'll excuse me.
*Boosts again with his Sword, reaches their entrance point, and leaves the Metaverse*

Bgammax

*sighs*
What others think isn't the issue... But I guess that's for another time.
*reaches the entry, somewhat after Em, and leaves*
