[center][color=violet][h1]Jax - The Remains of the Bento Brawl - Bento Tree[/h1][/color][/center][hr] Jax looked back up that the young brawler as he proceeded to effortlessly dispatch a locust then a hornet and then a centipede. The boy's movements were crystal clear, much like the waters in Ionia's lakes and the mirrors which line Lokfar's City Hall. The Grandmaster was the least to say impressed with Ranma's versatile fighting style, it reminded him of a well known blind brawler who's mighty kicks had graced the League more often then not. This young man had spunk, he had style and he most certainly reminded the master about himself at a younger age. Then Jax heard the plan that he had said about the Neighbors, he pondered for a moment about what his next action should be and then decided to put his plan into action. [color=violet]"You're right about that one kid. I think we should probably check it out. What even is over there anyway? From the way you look it sounds as if there's like a whole another world over there!"[/color] Jax said as he stuck his post into the ground and jumped up on it to get a better view. He could barely make out what looked like part of a castle top and some other medieval type buildings. The first thought that came to Jax's mind was: [i]Demacia? Did it somehow end up here too? No wait, that can't be Demacia. I'd be hearing shouting by now...[/i] Jax sighed, it was an unfortunate custom that the Demacians had that whenever they entered battle they would shout their country name in the air instead of flying a banner much like its rival Noxus would. It was really annoying. Jumping down on the ground the Grandmaster pondered, who was over there? What was over there? It looked like a bunch of castles with weirdly designed roofs. Sure what was over there might be better than just slamming some unworthy insects into the ground but he didn't even know, what could be over there!? Jax looked back up at Ranma, [color=violet]"That place over there reminds me of a similar one back on Runterra, it's known as Demacia by everyone. I wonder what type of Kingdom it is over there... Do you think they'll shout their name at everyone if they charge the insects? Because that's what Demacians do. But aside from that, that place looks huge! I wonder just how many insects those people can fight off? We've been doing a good job I know but just imagine the amount of physical work those guys are doing! So in short, yeah we should go over there- it seems cool anyway."[/color] The Grandmaster said as he sheepishly scratched the back of his head, [color=violet]"At least, I think It does..."[/color] Jax then looked over to Chun-Li, [color=violet]"What about you? You gonna stay here with that Chao girl or are you gonna head over with me and Saotome over here?"[/color] Jax said as he leaned up against the Summoner's Cup. Jax from a viewer's perspective may have been more interested in the kingdom than in the people, but the Grandmaster would never leave innocent people to die. Even on Mercenary missions where it would seem that all the odds were against him and that the assassins were closing in, he'd still go back and retrieve the captives even if his mission only told him to only bring back one. It was what made Jax not only a mercenary worth having but a legendary hero and a rightful title of the Grandmaster at Arms. [@Grey Star] [@GameGuruGG] [center][color=aqua][h1]Forneus - The Chaos of Positively 4th Street[/h1][/color][/center][hr] The elemental lord made his way down the battered, and desolate street. In the distance the rattle of gunfire and more screaming followed by the occasional, "This is- [b]SPARTA![/b]" by some drunkard possibly. He didn't care, what he did care about was harnessing the grievousness of this area. This is why he liked whoever made these bugs appear already, it made for great energy harnessing and even more so it was pure music to the Abyssal Lord of Water's ears. It made him feel like he was 1500 again, back when all the other lords were going through their violent phases. Arakes was especially violent back then, killing at least 200,000 humans a day. He knew that he was the most brash and he usually restored to brute force instead of thinking, Fornues thought he was a bit blood hungry and didn't care for tactics whereas both he and Aunas did. The cat from earlier had followed him along the road, Forneus knew its desire and immediately transformed it into a being of pure water. Now the cat, fully transparent and dripping liquid rode upon the lord's shoulder. It's eyes shown a deep emerald and upon its faced rested a very sly Cheshire grin. Forneus liked his new compatriot as they moved down the destroyed road, Forneus impaling any insect who would come within 3 meters of the duo. He finally made it to what looked like the remains of an intersection, cars and bodies were miscellaneously strewn across the bloody, cracked and steaming pavement. This was the perfect place to conduct the rite, it was a nice time at night and the atmosphere seemed ablaze with death and despair. Forneus set his partner down and motioned him over to sit on a car seat that was embedded into the ground. Forneus then clasped his hands together, a spectacle was about to [b]begin.[/b] Forneus channeled for a bit and then the most scalding hot water began to flow from his hand, bursting and burning the ground in front of him as he moved his arm in a circular motion. The pressure caused the pavement to simply melt and disintegrate as a pattern was engraved into the middle of the road. First a circle, then a six pointed star and finally Forneus took his time drawing runes onto the clear points. At last Forneus finished the pentagram with the sign of the abyss in the middle, a mask with wings on either side accompanied by a skull. The lord, pleased with his work walked into the center, knelt down and began to chant. In the demon's language Latin, he began: [color=aqua]"Dolores inferni circumdederunt me obsesso copiis, infernus et perditio ultra..."[/color] [b](I call upon the forces invested in me, the underworld and the abyss beyond.)[/b] He continued as the space began to show a low hue of yellow, [color=aqua]"Gaude! Animabus damnatorum transeat ex hoc mundo serviunt abyssum irent. Tua praebe illi tormentum odio ut in novo incipiet meretur iniquitas tua!"[/color] [b](Rejoice! Souls of the damned, leave this world and serve the abyss. Let your torment turn to hatred as you will begin to serve a new purpose!)[/b] The ground began to rumble as the pentagram lit up with a soft and eerie amber glow, [color=aqua]"Undas pelagi cingentibus dimittetur tibi hanc optimam in terra Nam tempus tandem huc!"[/color] [b](The abyss opens for you to be purged from this fertile earth! For the time has finally here!)[/b] The ground shook even harder, and suddenley what looked like little wisps started coming from every direction, some even coming out of the dead bodies that were nearby. [color=aqua]"Nos adducturum tradam te in plura quam usquam terrarum possunt! Tuo servies dominumque novum et quod semel amisit reparari potuit!"[/color] [b](We usher you into a world that will deliver more than you could ever achieve! Serve your new master and let what was once lost be reinstated!)[/b] The roads beside the intersection began to crack, and the same amber light began to gleam throughout the entirety of the street. [color=aqua]"Quid enim Elore obtexit. Quid enim Saruin quaesivit. Quid enim Shirach celavit a! Quid enim sibi Mortem timet!"[/color] [b](For what Elore has detested. For what Saruin has sought. For what Shirach has hidden from! For what Death himself fears!)[/b] Then, came the moaning of what sounded to be tortured souls screaming in agony filling out the area with noise. [b][color=red]"SICANT ABYSS ACCIPITE VOBIS."[/color][/b] [b](LET THE ABYSS TAKE YOU.)[/b] The souls rose to fever pitch as the pentagram illuminated at least more than half of the entire district, slowly all the souls began to amass around the pentagram. As the screams echoed throughout the entire city of Roanpur, a tear opened in the air above the pentagram. It shown colors of red, blue and purple amassing together as more screams could be heard from within. The souls began to throw themselves into the tear, one by one and then by the hundreds, then the thousands until none left had come. The tear with a wicked and high-pitched otherworldly scream shut, the shaking died down and the amber light dissipated. The cat was astonished, Forneus' job for the time being had only begun. Within a mile radius, the dead bodies from the war no longer had souls- they were merely empty shells of what they had once been: human or insect. Forneus simply cackled as he looked up to the fading moon, the Abyss's power was returning gradually and in due time it would once again repeat the cycle. The screams and shakes before began to transfer to Jopa road, allowing all it's residents to hear what was happening. [@Lugubrious] [@GameGuruGG]
