| *A glimmer of rainbow alloy partially averted Valtiel�s attention. His intention was clear� Additionally, a provocation for his unseasoned body arrived.
Dark Crono - �Before the dawn�� *Despite the evil cryptic language of Dark Crono� Valtiel understood and knew that a fight was immanent. Valtiel grasped the Great Knife as he prepared to test out the new abilities his evolved body could provide. The voice inside of Valtiel�s began to speak to him again� Threat� Danger� Esper� Destroy� *Dark Crono scanned Valtiel�s thoughts momentarily� they were jumbled and puzzled due to the extra presence within Valtiel but Crono�s keen mind could make out what he was thinking, that Valtiel had determined that Crono was an enemy after the esper� and that he should be destroyed. A smile caressed Dark Crono�s concealed face� to think that such a dark, pathetic, pitiful, mortal born of Senate imperfections could destroy that which is even darker than oneself. *Valtiel observed the rainbow alloy of Dark Crono�s sword� potentially powerful but no match for the Great Knife. Valtiel wasted no time in being the aggressor early in the fight. He firmly grasped both hands on the Great Knife and slashed left-to-right horizontally at Dark Crono. Crono�s gold eye quickly observed the giant blade and Crono quickly faded away as the Great Knife slashed through the air were he once stood, the Great Knife then emphatically slammed into the wall of the alley on Valtiel�s right creating a large hole in the wall. Valtiel pulled the Great Knife back out from the brick rubble and looked around determining were his foe vanished to and found nothing� Valtiel slowly turned his head and looked through the hole in the wall of the building next to him, and saw the interior of a dimly lighted warehouse with crates littered within. And as Valtiel peered inside he saw one of the brighter lights beaming in the center of the warehouse� and saw Dark Crono standing in the center of that light looking directly at him, almost in the exact same pose he was in before he vanished away moments ago. *Valtiel stepped through the hole in the wall, entered the warehouse, and quickly checked everything that was within it to get a feel for his surroundings. Crates were stacked higher up near the walls while the center of the somewhat small warehouse was relatively open� this would work perfect for Valtiel. Valtiel dropped his sword to his side. He held his arms out to the side slightly and angles his head upward. The sound of deep voices chanting began to fill the warehouse. A drop of blood streaked down from the mouth on the back of Valtiel�s head. Soon his entire body seemed to seep blood. The drops from his head came to its edge...but they didn�t fall or drip, the rolled under and continued down his body even traveling up at times. The blood reached his feet and the streaks started to crawl across the floor in all directions. The chant grew louder and the speed of the spreading blood grew faster. Valtiel was a crimson form of his normal self, still standing there with outstretched arms. The blood enveloped everything, it ran up crates and walls. It smothered the light from the skylight and symbols. It reached Dark Crono�s feet and started to encase him as well. Valtiel could see it happen, this Dark Crono was very much different then the fighter Prodigi he encountered before� Prodigi tried to stop the blood from taking over, Dark Crono almost seemed to embrace it. *The warehouse�s lights were the only things that seemed to carry over during the transformation as they continued to beam small portions of light into the warehouse. Dark Crono slowly observed his surroundings� the hole in the wall was gone, replaced with a red fleshy substance almost similar to a scab. The walls looked like human flesh, the walls bled and even healed themselves right before Crono�s eyes. Some of the crates still remained, but they had become bloodied metallic versions of their former selves, with chunks for flesh hanging off of their sides. Other crates had been replaced with things that would horrify a normal man, rusted wheelchairs, stretchers, and mutilated corpses� probably bodies of past people this thing has laid to waste. Dark Crono then returned his attention to Valtiel, who was still standing in the place he was in before the transformation and was holding the Great Knife firmly. Dark Crono- �Such a fitting place for evil to due battle� you may feel confident and stronger here Valtiel, but these subsistence�s designed to feed one�s fears are insignificant to me.� *Valtiel charged at Dark Crono holding the Great Knife to his side, as he came within twenty feet of his foe Valtiel suddenly leapt up and flipped and landed on the ceiling continuing his charge towards Dark Crono. Running across the ceiling, Valtiel jumped down towards Crono preparing to swing the Great Knife with all his momentum and with gravity on his side as well. Dark Crono held the Rainbow Sword in a reverse grip as Valtiel came down towards him for the attack and the two swords crashed fiercely with neither fighter backing an inch. Dark Crono then exerted an amount of force enough to push the Great Knife back about a foot, Dark Crono then spun counterclockwise on his right heel and connected a painful spinning heel kick on the side of Valtiel�s head sending Valtiel flying back a few feet. *Valtiel quickly stood up and charged again with immense speed. The Great Knife cut horizontally through the air, from Valtiel�s right to left, at Dark Crono�s midsection. As the blade came closer Dark Crono essentially cart wheeled in mid air allow the Great Knife to whoosh past underneath Crono. As Valtiel followed through with his attack Dark Crono landed square on his feet again following the cart wheel and immediately lowered himself and swept the legs right out from underneath Valtiel. Valtiel began falling to the ground and Crono continued his spin following the sweep, and before Valtiel could even hit the ground Dark Crono�s right foot connected with Valtiel�s side sending the monster flying through the air across the warehouse. Valtiel regained control over himself fast enough to land on one of the walls and immediately sprung from the wall flying through the air back towards his opponent. Valtiel held the Great Knife over his head preparing to attack again and came within feet of Dark Crono. But before Valtiel could attack the gold eye of Dark Crono seemed to squint momentarily and immediately following Valtiel felt an unnatural force take control of his body, like an extension of Dark Crono�s arm had grasped on to him. Valtiel was then emphatically thrown over Dark Crono slamming into some of the stretchers and wheelchairs that were in the vicinity. Valtiel lied amongst the wreckage for a few moments as Dark Crono slowly turned around to face Valtiel from a distance. Pushing aside wreckage, Valtiel stood up slowly. Direct attacks weren�t going to be effective at this pace� it was time to improvise. Valtiel slammed the Great Knife into the ground in front of him and went into some kind of concentration. *Dark Crono heard some odd noises echo through the shadows of the warehouse. From the darkness horrid creatures slowly emerged� they looked like disfigured humans� nurses� carrying vast types of weapons like crowbars, pipes, knives, and a few had pistols�Crono stood motionless as the nurses from hell slowly crept closer. The sound of a pistol�s �click� echoed in the warehouse, so these things were at least smart enough to handle their weapons. On Crono�s left side, just out of his vision, one nurse raised her shaking pistol and aimed it at Crono. Valtiel watched as the trigger was slowly pulled. Three sounds suddenly echoed through the hell-warehouse, the first sound was the sound of the gun firing at Dark Crono, the second sound followed immediately after that and it was the sound of something clashing onto metal, the third and final sound was the sound of a body hitting the floor. Valtiel looked as Dark Crono�s sword instantly had moved between the bullet�s path and Crono himself, deflecting the bullet away. Valtiel also witnessed another nurse fall to the ground, with a bullet hole in her head� signifying that Crono in fact intentionally deflected the bullet towards another of the nurses. *Valtiel realized early that it would take much more to slow this being down then the mere nurses he conjured up from his stay in the Midgar Hospital. So there would be no holding back on things for Dark Crono to fight. The nurses surrounding Dark Crono halted momentarily, and Crono observed as he sensed many more weak evil creatures manifest themselves within the warehouse. From the shadows creatures emerged, all sorts of them; with legs and bodies covered in sacks of skin, mutilated yet glistening mannequins, more nurses, zombie�s crawling out from the walls, walking mutilated bodies with giant club like things for arms, and scattered within all of these enemies were a few creatures with red pyramid like heads carrying long spears� Crono could sense that none of these enemies singularly were powerful enough to destroy him, and none of them were as powerful as Valtiel himself� the strongest of these creatures were the few pyramid heads, they were probably half the strength of Valtiel individually� what made these creatures a potential threat for Crono was their sheer numbers, there had to have been roughly a hundred of these monsters packed within the warehouse all closing on Crono.. and Valtiel was still lurking as well� Dark Crono calmly observed the hell-army Valtiel had summoned and determined that the bulk of the monsters were of the weaker variety, the mannequins and skin-covered creatures, and so forth it seemed the monsters got stronger as their numbers dwindled� *Dark Crono also kept Valtiel in check, he knew that if Valtiel would see a chance to take him out Valtiel would seize that opportunity. But Crono knew he was too good to leave an open chance for attack. *As the hoard of monsters came towards him in all directions Crono held the Rainbow Sword at his side in his right hand and slowly extended his left hand outward into the air. A black silhouette formed in Crono�s left hand and it slowly formed into matter, it was a long handled weapon with two blades on opposite ends. The metal blades glistened like they had never been used and looked sharp enough to pierce anything. The weapon itself had a dark presence to it that seemed to speak to Crono�s soul. And apparently the dark aura of the weapon was sensed at some level by the monsters that had closed in on him, for they all momentarily halted at the sight of the dark weapon. Crono looked at both weapons in his hand� it was a rare occasion that Crono loved, when he got to utilize both of his weapons� The Rainbow Sword� and the MasterMune� *Valtiel�s monsters circled within a 5 foot perimeter of Dark Crono and prepared to attack� Valtiel himself observed the impending chaos and his voice echoed through the warehouse� Valtiel- �Attack�� *A dozen of the monsters came in to attack Dark Crono. Crono twirled the MasterMune in his hand as the blade caught one of the monsters under the chin slicing the lower part of his head open. Crono stabbed the Rainbow Sword into the gut of another monster, and sliced the sword through the monsters side out through him and into another one killing them both. The MasterMune planted itself within the chest of a nurse and Crono used his strength to fling the nurse off the blade into a group of other monsters. Six of the flesh-sac monsters staggered towards Dark Crono, and Crono simply spun with the Rainbow Sword�s blade extending outward slicing all of the monsters in half. Crono hopped up onto the shoulders of a nurse and used his feet to snap her neck, as the nurse�s body collapsed to the ground the Rainbow Sword slashed downwards directly implanting itself through the body of a mannequin. As he quickly pulled the sword back from the mannequin�s corpse his elbow caught a Closer directly in the �face� sending it staggering a few feet back. Crono quickly turned to face the staggered Closer and as he turned the MasterMune shot forward impaling the Closer in its throat. While pulling the MasterMune from the Closer a nurse shot at Dark Crono, and Crono simply deflected the bullets again this time the deflected bullet shot through the bodies of two zombie-like creatures killing both. Crono dashed to the nurse who shot at him and slashed both the Rainbow Sword and MasterMune at the nurse�s neck sending the nurse�s head flying off in a small puddle of blood. Crono leapt into the air to avoid an incoming Closer and as he leapt a good ten plus feet into the air other monsters jumped up to try and attack. In mid-air Dark Crono gently swung the MasterMune and Rainbow Sword as bodies of Valtiel�s monsters fell back down to the ground. Gravity then took effect on Crono as he came flying back down toward the monsters below. Dark Crono focused on one monster that was below him and extended his right leg outward as it slammed into the face of a Closer, crushing its skull. *Valtiel looked on from his small distance as Crono almost effortlessly killed the hoards of creatures. He slowly grasped the Great Knife once more, knowing his time to re-enter the fight would be coming soon� since Dark Crono had already slaughtered over a third of the summoned monsters. Valtiel would still wait as he would see how the pyramid head creatures would fair in the fight, none of them were as strong as Valtiel when he was in his Pyramid Head form� but they should be suitable for killing this pest. Valtiel looked towards his right, were the five pyramid heads stood like statues. The five looked at Valtiel just as he looked at them, and Valtiel nodded his faceless head. The pyramid heads held their spear weapons and seemingly marched into battle. *Dark Crono lowered his body and spun as the MasterMune sliced the legs out from eight monsters that were surrounding him and as he stood back up he swung the Rainbow Sword upwards taking the head off of another nurse. One of the skin-covered creatures shot an acid like mist towards Dark Crono and as it came closer Crono faded away and reappeared behind the monster that shot it at him and impaled him with the Rainbow Sword. Crono used the skin-covered monster as a springboard as kicked off the back of the monsters �head�, pulling the Rainbow Sword out at the same time, and spun around in mid air connecting a solid spinning kick on the head of a closer. The �leg-arms� of another mannequin shot out like a boxer�s punches trying to hit Dark Crono, but Crono easily dodged the swings and spun 180 degrees as the MasterMune stabbed into the mannequin�s torso. Crono looked past the initial masses of monsters for a moment and saw the pyramid heads charging into the battle finally. One of the pyramid heads immediately plowed through the lesser monsters and came after Crono. He shot out his spear towards Dark Crono, who easily turned slightly as the spear missed inches from his body. Crono immediately raised one of his knees up hitting the spear forcing it upwards, Crono then swung the Rainbow Sword slicing the pyramid head�s spear in half and followed by slicing the MasterMune at the pyramid head, slicing its red gigantic head off. Dark Crono looked over his shoulder and saw Valtiel still standing firm, Crono then thought to himself. Dark Crono- My tolerance for these insignificant manifestations has grown thin� *Dark Crono kicked off of one monster and flew through the air landing his feet on one of the warehouse�s fleshy walls, he immediately sprang off of the wall flying directly at the center of the remaining forty or so monsters with the MasterMune and Rainbow Sword extending outwards to his left and right. Crono flew right through the heart of the monsters and landed on the other side of the mass on one knee, looking downwards, with the MasterMune and Rainbow Sword still extended outwards. Valtiel cocked his head momentarily as there was a momentary standstill. Valtiel looked over his hoard quickly, and as he looked he noticed that most of them were not moving� slowly a large amount of the monster�s bodies fell in half and died� the pattern of dead monsters was directly down the path Dark Crono had just flown through� only seven monsters were still alive� four pyramid heads� two nurses with steel pipes� and one closer. Dark Crono slowly raised his head and looked at Valtiel. Two of the pyramid heads attempted to sneak up behind Dark Crono as he stared at his adversary, but it was futile� Crono easily sensed their approach and without breaking his stare at Valtiel he twirled his weapons in both hands and stabbed them backwards, stabbing both pyramid heads. Crono slowly stood up and turned around to look at the last four living monsters Valtiel had summoned� Crono walked over the corpses of dead monsters and walked towards each of the other monsters that were still alive. And as he came near each one he easily blocked their attack and killed them quickly and continued walking as if they were nothing. The last two monsters to be alive were the pyramid heads, they were obviously the smartest of the monsters since they attacked him as a pair. The pyramid heads swung their spears downwards and Crono easily blocked them both with his two weapons. Crono forcibly pushed both spear weapons back and instinctively Crono ducked as the Great Knife of Valtiel whooshed over Dark Crono, and instead of hitting its assigned target� Valtiel killed the last two pyramid heads. *As the two pyramid head bodies landed on the ground in a juicy thud, Dark Crono slowly stood and turned to face Valtiel. Valtiel raised the Great Knife again and swung at Crono, who easily blocked. As the two blades clashed Valtiel saw the MasterMune disappear into nothingness from Crono�s left hand. Dark Crono used his strength to then push the Great Knife aside and as he did, his now free left hand shot out and grabbed Valtiel�s neck and grasped tightly. Valtiel dropped the Great Knife and both hands tried to pry Crono�s vice-like grip from his throat� a downside of his new form� he needed air. Crono slowly lifted Valtiel off of the ground, and then threw Valtiel across the warehouse landing on a pile of dead monsters. As Valtiel gasped for air he looked and saw Dark Crono slowly walk towards him again. Valtiel crawled back away from Dark Crono as a new sensation overwhelmed Valtiel� fear� *Valtiel continued crawling backwards until he pressed up against the wall of the warehouse. From there Valtiel began crawling up the side of the wall in an attempt to give himself some distance from Dark Crono. Valtiel crawled halfway up the wall and turned around to see were Dark Crono was� and he couldn�t find him� puzzled Valtiel turned around to crawl some more and immediately saw Dark Crono standing in front of him on the wall. Startled, Valtiel lost his grip and fell landing on the floor once more. Dark Crono easily hovered downwards landing softly on the ground. Valtiel quickly turned around and ran for the Great Knife, as he reached his weapon and turned around he was once again greeted by Crono inches from his face. Despite having no eyes or facial features� it was like Crono�s glowing gold eye gazed right into Valtiel�s �eyes�� the gaze froze Valtiel, it even made the voice in Valtiel�s mind be silenced. Crono broke his gaze finally and drove his fist into the mid section of Valtiel�s body. Valtiel grasped his stomach region and hunched over as he gasped for air, Crono took one step to Valtiel�s side and then drove his elbow into the back of Valtiel�s skull� sending the monster face down into the warehouse ground. Dark Crono observed his surroundings once more as the warehouse�s appearance began to change, it began to shift back and forth from its current hell version to its original version. Crono looked back down at Valtiel, who lied unconscious. Crono held the Rainbow Sword in a reverse grip, raised it upwards, and shot the blade down at Valtiel. ----------- OOC- Dark Crono wins the fight - Now the ensuing RP ---------- *In the alley of Midgar Archangel Zero, Sephiroth X, Zack, and Bax stood puzzled. The power Sephiroth X had sensed coming had vanished away just under a half hour ago and hasn�t resurfaced since. Archangel Zero himself was starting to act different� *Archangel Zero clutched his chest. Archangel Zero- The esper... "It's singing. Go. Now." *Sephiroth X raised an eyebrow. Sephiroth X- "Leave� now?� *Fishing inside his cloak, Azriel withdrew the esper. It was hot, pulsating, burning his hand. The heartbeat within the tiny jewel was racing. Archangel Zero- There's no time. It's over now. *There were no options left. The esper would be taken. Fallen Phoenix would be resurrected. What could he do? The things fighting in the distance could track him. The esper was guiding them straight toward Azriel. The souls once again gathered around him... no longer harmless. They jeered and wailed at him, a lance of preternatural sound. Rain began to fall. the sky turned black. Archangel Zero- Two hundred years of life... to die at the hands of... *A whisper fell from his lips, quiet as the rain. Archangel Zero- "No." *And the Archangel Zero... snapped. *Every light in the square exploded. All was dark but for the red illumination flowing from the eyes of the monster being unleashed. A strobe effect occurred whenever he blinked. A slow, guttural snarl was born in the depths of his being, and gradually became a roar. Rain pelted against his flesh, and was instantly turned to steam. The vapor cloud cast a hazy pillar of red light above his body. Glass shattered, and the very bars of metal windows bent outward, seeking to fly toward Azriel. Every lamppost in the square simultaneously cried out as they were twisted down, all pointing to the center of the square were the dark one stood. *Bax and Zack looked at Archangel Zero in disbelief. Zack could not comprehend what was happening to Archangel Zero and Bax didn�t want to believe what he was thinking� Could this be Fallen taking full control over him? Was he witnessing the rebirth of his people�s nightmare? *The Monster lifted his hand on high. One, two, now many bolts of red and blue lightning arched from the cobblestones to the esper held aloft. Pulsating purple light seeped between his fingers, and smoke rose as the gloves burned. A wind whipped around him, sending his hair swirling like a whip. His cloak billowed, and the eyes became brighter. The roar from within never ceased. *It shattered. The Esper exploded into fragments of infinite insignificance. *Azriel fell silent, nearly crumpling to the pavement. He clutched his smoldering hand, eyes still burning. *The rain fell harder. As everybody was focused on Archangel Zero and what was happening, a cold wind blew at Sephiroth X�s back causing his hair to flap in the air momentarily� Sephiroth X slowly turned around towards the direction of that brief wind gust� he looked down the alleyway� he saw the street lights that illuminated this section of Midgar� far in the distance he saw street lights lose their power and simply turn off� the next closest set of lights then did the same� and the darkness started to come closer and closer� Sephiroth X was the only one knew what his meant� and in that instant he realized what had stopped that other power from coming closer� Sephiroth X could only say one thing slowly to himself� as X realized he was coming� Sephiroth X- ��Oh no�� |
