[b]Erik[/b] Erik listened to Rose talk about the chest while watching Raphi, he smiled brightly and nodded to him. He had the same name as the long ago champion of the Sorcerer's Chest. He must of been a descendant or something. He noticed that Raphi had a lot more energy than he did just a few moments ago. More than what he needed with the way he jumped so high. Then again he didn't fully understand all of the abilities and traits of all the different magical species yet. Perhaps that was just normal for his kind. He certainly couldn't jump that high. He turned to Rose again with a smile. She had been so distracted by his book that he noticed she give him her name yet. "Nice to meet both of you. What is your name?" He looked to Lamy who was just sat down watching then he turned to the clothing that Raphi had put on. Why would anyone wear weighted clothing? What benefit did it hold? He didn't want to be rude so he didn't ask. Instead he just waited for Rose to finish and perhaps give him her name. [b]Dust[/b] Dust watched as creatures stepped out of a portal and spoke to Sky. At around same time another portal opened up and a small group of people came through it. Then another portal opened up and another group came out of it. Dust continued to wait yet no other Elsyium Sword wielders were coming. It was then that he sensed a mass amount of dark energy and rage. He looked over towards the forest and stepped towards it. "There's something going on over there. We have to investigate." He looked to Ahrah to see if he agreed. Ahrah glowed and spoke quickly. "Yes. I suspect the other Elsyium sword wielders have already gone to investigate." Dust nodded and started to quickly run toward the exit of the city. [b]Sky[/b] Sky was being overwhelmed quite quickly. First Neo arrived and asked for a report then Kiyu, then Hineta and then a group of strangers came through a portal. Now after all of that she sensed powerful waves of darkness and rage coming from the forest. She heard what Dust and Ahrah said and finally looked around at everyone who was waiting on her. "So. Pixie is gone and everything is chaos right now. Our alliance doesn't change however. I still plan on keep all the connections that Pixie created for us and stay the central hub of the alliance. Now I think it is best if everyone who is able go and investigate what is happening at the forest." She then flew to Elsera and her group. "Greetings, I am Sky. Who are you all? Is there anything I can do to help you?" She looked at each person slowly then back to Elsera. She didn't recognise any of them. For now she waited for them to introduce themselves so she could get an idea for who they were and hopefully why they were here. [b]Yuki and Christi[/b] Yuki and Christi were exploring the forest and investigating in the source of the earthquakes when all of a sudden they felt a surge of dark energy and rage. They had come from the Land of Old, dinosaurs were already unsettled as it was and now with the this unsettling feeling of death and rage things were even worse. Slowly they walked into the dark forest, wondering where they were. After a few minutes walking they stumbled upon a Nimbat along with many other people they didn't recognise. They watched as the Nimbat and a woman fought each other and for now the two of them stayed silent. [b]Blue[/b] Blue watched as Sky spoke to all of the leaders. She seemed really busy. He turned to Dust and listen to him and Ahrah then after hearing Sky he nodded. He himself could feel the dark energy and the rage radiating from the forest. He quickly flew to Dust and started to head towards the city exits. He wanted to go to, if something was happening there he wanted to help stop it. It will also allow him to see Dust and Ahrah in action and how well they fought together. [b]Katnis[/b] Katnis felt the dark rage energy even from where she was. The children were safe for now but whatever was happening at the forest was bad. She had to investigate it and make sure it wasn't a threat to her people. Katnis ran out of the city and jumped on her white chocobo and sped off towards the forest quickly. After a few minutes of riding she reached the forest. She got off and sent her chocobo back. It was too dangerous for him here. She entered the forest cautiously, looking around. Suddenly she was teleported and was now standing in a small group with two monsters flying above her. This was definitely not good. [b]Kuro[/b] After a few minutes in his quarters thinking about everything that was going on Kuro sense a wave of dark energy and rage. He quickly got himself up and ran outside. He did a quick hand sign then slammed his hand into the ground. All of a sudden he jumped into the air high enough to reach the city walls. He looked over to the walls and towards the forest. "Oh no." He had to get to the Nimbat City as soon as possible. He jumped down on the other side and began to sprint full force towards the city. It only took him a minute to get there. Once he entered he heard Sky giving orders and nodded. So a team was going on the way to investigate the darkness. He ran forward to meet Sky and bowed to her. "Greeting Sky. Neo can go investigate the place with Kori too." He looked to the two of them then nodded. He trusted them to go and if the situation was too dire Neo could easily get everyone out of there if he needed to. [b]Ming[/b] Ming heard Kiyu summon his blade and open a portal as she walked away. She continued to walk when suddenly she stopped. She got a sudden bad feeling and an urge to rush to the Nimbat City. She pulled out her katana and slashed the air. She could do her duties later. She needed to make sure everything was ok. "Samurai Art 89: Portal Jump!" She focused on the Nimbat City then jumped through. Once in the Nimbat City she looked around for a minute when suddenly she felt a surge of dark energy and rage. She listened to Dust and Ahrah then to Sky giving out orders. Quickly she stepped in front of Dust and shook her head. "No, we don't know what we are dealing with here. It could be far too dangerous. We can't just walk in blindly and expect everything to be fine. We can't leave until we know more about what is happening and the danger we will be facing." She placed her Katana away then looked to the forest. She had a bad feeling about that forest. Whatever was happening there it was bad news for everyone. [b]Yanvar[/b] Yanvar had cloned herself so she was in every Kingdom of Power at once except the tenth Kingdom of course. One King was already dead so she didn't have to waste her energy. In the ninth Kingdom she disguised herself as a simple guard. In the eighth Kingdom she disguised herself as a maid. The seventh Kingdom she made herself look like a messenger. The sixth Kingdom she became an allied King come to speak on the terms of the Tenth King's death. In the fifth Kingdom she disguised herself as an executioner to 'discuss' details of prisoners. In the fourth Kingdom she disguised herself as a court jester. In the third Kingdom she disguised herself as a chief and the second she disguised herself as a wise monk offering gifts. Finally in the first Kingdom with all the chaos about the King's lost son how could she not disguise herself as Erik? Each of her clones reached the throne rooms and stood in front of the King. In that moment all the clones reached their hands towards the King's chest and gave an evil smile then all of the clones' eyes turned dark red. Meanwhile the actual Yanvar was on her way to the dark forest. There was a surge of dark energy and rage over there and she wanted to check it out. She knew her clones would easily be able to handle the kings, especially with the chaos over this dark energy and the rage that followed. She entered the forest and walked slowly while looking around. Whoever caused this had a lot of power. She continued to walk until she got to a clearing where she saw Pixie and another woman fighting. For now she stood to watch while keeping an eye on what how her clones were handling things. [b]Astrid[/b] Astrid felt the surge of darkness and rage coming from the forest. She had to check it out. People could easily be in danger such as the Nimbats or the Elves. The air felt a lot fresher now and stronger. It was a completely different feeling and she wasn't used to it but it told her one thing. Magic was mixing in the air. So she decided to try something. She got out her book and flipped a few pages then tapped her finger on a spell. "Okay then.....By the magic bestowed upon me I command this power to send me to the dark forest!" In an instant Astrid disappeared and reappeared in the dark forest surrounded by everyone else. She looked around then looked up to see flying monsters above her. [b]Helena[/b] Helena could feel the dark energy and waves of rage in the first Kingdom. Erik was gone and disaster was soon to hit. She had to see what was happening. So she pressed her belt buckle and pulled out three small balls. She threw them in the air and they all turned into drones. The three quickly flew off towards the forest so she could see what was going on through her watch. With that done she decided it was best to go to the Nimbat City. Perhaps she could gather information then. Helena quickly ran out of the front gates then jumped in the air. Her boots activated and blasted out energy allowing her to fly towards the Nimbat city. Once then she landed carefully and entered to hear what Ming said. She walked up and quickly raised her hand. "Hey I'm here. I sent drones off to the forest to get a live feed of what is going on." She looked at the watch to see the forest had been corrupted. Whatever was causing this was extremely bad. [b]Sarena[/b] Sarena being underwater in Atlantis didn't know about what was happening in the dark forest. She felt waves of dark energy and felt explosions that affected Atlantis. The surface dwellers' business was no business of theirs unless it affected Atlantis of course however, this time it did. The explosions were so powerful that the Atlantic Buildings shook and crumbled while the Atlantic Guardians were getting chaotic. Sarena knew that something was happening on the surface and it was affecting Atlantis. "Kalo, Arios we're going to the surface to find out what the hell is happening up there! Everyone else protect Atlantis!" With that she swam quickly up to the surface. Once on the surface she stepped out of the ocean. She looked around for a moment before using the water from the ocean to lift her up and carry her high above in the air. She looked at the Nimbat City in the distance before and pointed to it. "We're going to the Nimbat City. Pixie is always well informed. We need to find her and speak to her quickly." With that she used the water to carry her quickly high above the trees. It took only a matter of minutes to arrive in the Nimbat City. Once there she landed at the front of the gates. The Nimbats were obviously shocked to see the Atlantis Queen at their doorstep. They bowed their heads to her and quickly allowed her through the gates. [b]Blue, Sarena and Ahrah[/b] As Blue turned around his gaze stopped when he saw the Atlantians arrive. What were they doing here? Weren't they supposed to be in hiding? He quickly flew up to Sarena and bowed his head. "Sarena, you're here. Are there problems in Atlantis too?" Sarena nodded and slowly looked around. "Yes there are. We need to talk to Pixie immediately." Blue's eyes widened, he forgot that they never kept updated with surface matters. Of course they wouldn't know about Pixie. He sighed and shook his head. "Pixie's not here. She betrayed the Nimbat City. That makes Sky the leader....but currently she's a little too busy. I can explain everything to you if you wish." He looked to Sky and then back to Sarena. She stared at Blue for a moment, a look of pure shock on her face. Then all of a sudden she laughed. She walked on and shouted out loudly. "Pixie I need to talk to you!" Blue opened his mouth to speak but quickly closed it again. He felt extremely insulted. She had just laughed in his face. It was when Ahrah glowed and spoke up that Sarena stopped to listen. "Sarena I am afraid that Pixie is not here. She left the Nimbat City after killing the Tenth King of Power and created magic." Sarena just stared at Ahrah with a look of complete confusion. "Wait, what? So Pixie isn't here after all? What the hell is going on?" Blue flew up to her and sighed. "You best sit down, there is a lot to explain." She looked to Blue and sighed. Giving a nod she walked over and created a chair out of pure water. With that, she sat herself down. When she was seated and rested, Blue went over everything that had happened so far. [b]Susano[/b] Susano entered the portal Kiyu created then walked with him to Sky. He kept quiet for now and watched. Suddenly he felt a surge of dark rage energy and he turneds towards where the forest was. He then looked to Ming who had arrived in what seemed to be a panic. Something was definitely bothering her. With multiple people arriving to whatever was happening in the forest the Nimbat City was in chaos. Luckily they could at least get live feedback on what was happening. "Keep us updated Helena. At least we can learn what is happening." He looked to Ming to see if she what she wanted to do. [b]Yinla[/b] Yinla saw that the Usamimi were moving and got her things packed together. When she was ready she saw the portal was already open. She bowed her head in a thank you to Jade then entered. For now Yinla kept quiet and waiting for everyone else to enter. In that moment she sensed dark rage energy and looked towards the forest. Something big was happening. She wanted to go but Ming was right nobody should leave without knowing just how dangerous it was and besides she needed Serami's approval too. [b]Orochi[b] Orochi sensed dark rage energy and looked towards the forest. There was something going on and it interested him. Maru hissed gently into his ear and spoke in a soft malicious tone. "I sense death. We should go and investigate. Ori and Kraken will most likely be heading there too." Orochi smiled at that thought and gave a nod. "Yes. I was already planning to investigate." He walked quickly towards the forest. It took him only a few minutes to arrive to Pixie. Once there Orochi and Maru decided to watch Pixie fight. They were both interested in just how strong the pair really was. [b]Chiha[/b] Chiha sensed dark rage energy and looked towards the forest. She could tell the forest was dying and the elves were certain to go and investigate. She didn't particularly care about the forest but she was interested in what was causing all of these powerful waves of energy. She walked quickly towards the forest and soon entered it. It didn't take her long to find where Pixie was and she saw that she was in the middle of a battle. So instead of interrupting it she waited for now and watched the display of power. [b]Hashanta[/b] Hashanta sensed dark rage energy and looked towards the forest. There was so much power radiating from the forest it interested him. He left the tenth Kingdom then turned into pure lightning. He shot to the sky and traveled to the forest then like a lightning bolt he shot down striking a tree and bursting it into flames. He walked casually until he saw Pixie. She seemed to be busy so for now he waited until she was done. [b]Xarev[/b] Xarev's arms were done for, with the injections to render his arms useless, he could hardly lift them up now however, he had managed to escape as an unsuspecting fool left the light turned on. He had used the light's energy to free himself. By the time anyone would notice, he would be long gone. The fools were too busy worrying over their brat rather than paying attention to him. He snuck out of the city and quickly ran into the forest. He could feel the dark surge of energy and rage and it drew him to it. His arms were useless now and were about ready to drop, but when they did at least he could get some biotic arms. He wouldn't be out of commission yet. He ran into the dark forest but stopped as he came across a group of people within the dark forest. "Oh, and who might you all be?" He looked around until he spotted Pixie. He had heard non stop talk of how a Nimbat created magic and abandoned the Nimbat City, considering Pixie was out here in the forest, perhaps she was the Nimbat everyone was talking about. He watched as she fought a woman and for now waited. There was nothing else he could do anyway. [b]Zack[/b] Zack had left the tenth Kingdom. His path of Sloth had told him that trouble was brewing. He could sense dark rage energy and looked towards the forest. He didn't want to be involved in that. So out of pure instinct he closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately. Then his body reacted on it's own. Waving one hand over himself he teleported to the Lalafell City as it was far enough away to keep out of trouble for now. He woke up suddenly and looked around before noticing Rose, Raphi and Erik. He stared and them then shrugged. Without saying a word he sat himself down, leaned back and closed his eyes to relax. He kept an ear out to listen to the conversation they were all having while he did so. [b]Ateetes[/b] Ateetes listened to Divina as she told her about Ahrah's summoning. She didn't care about that and wasn't going to go. It was then she sensed dark rage energy and looked towards the forest. That changed things. She decided to go and check it out. She walked quickly towards the forest and entered. She looked around and slowly began to explore when suddenly she was teleported to a group of others. She looked around taking mental notes of everyone then looked up to see two flying monsters. [b]Myamma[/b] Myamma sensed dark rage energy and looked towards the forest. Something big was happening there and she wanted a part of whatever it was. She saw how everyone was distracted and decided it would be easy to leave. She flew up and over the wall then headed towards the forest. It didn't take her long to arrive at all being so close. She dodged trees left and right until she saw Pixie. Seeing the sheer amount of power she had made her want it so badly. She watched how she harnessed the darkness and then looked around her. Quickly Myamma absorbed the darkness into her. Her eyes changed color, her body changed and Myamma morphed into a dark Nimbat. She looked at her hands and smiled. She could feel her new power radiating off her! [b]Terra[/b] Terra sensed dark rage energy and looked towards the forest. It called to her, drew her closer and closer. She had to check it out. Terra looked over to Quauis and called over to her. "We're leaving. Come or not I don't care. I'm going to check out the forest to see what's going on over there." She quickly ran out of the small village and into the forest. She had to see what the source of this power was, this beautiful wonderful power! She stopped in front of Pixie and watched as she fought. Her eyes went wide and Terra slowly smiled. For now she simply observed. [b]Olar[/b] Olar watched as everyone arrived and sensed dark rage energy and looked towards the forest. She listened to Sky and Dust then to Ming. When Ming was done she stepped forward with a nod. "I agree. We should stay here and make sure everyone is safe and handle the situation here. When we know more about what is going on maybe then we can do something about it. However it is unwise for us to act without knowledge." She looked around then gave a small smile. For now she waited for orders. [b]Neo[/b] Neo watched as everyone arrived and sensed dark rage energy and looked towards the forest. She listened to Sky and Dust then to Ming. After Olar had spoken he stood up and spoke next. "Exactly. We must know the situation before we rush into it blind. That sort of quick acting can get people killed." He looked to Kuro to see if he agreed then looked to Dust and Ahrah to see what to do next and what the plan was. [b]Salem[/b] Salem sensed dark rage energy and looked towards the forest. Shame the pitiful forest was turning into a hell hole. Those poor unfortunate elves. In pain, in need. Does she help them? Not at all! Oh, those unfortunate elves. So sad, so true. They banish her and send her away and now their precious forest is dying. She laughed, if only they hadn't banished her. Maybe then their forest would have a chance of survival. She flew up slowly and flew towards the forest using her demonic force while Titan ran with her. She flew to the source of the darkness and looked down on Pixie as she flew beside Titan watching her fight. She had to admit she was mildly impressed with the display of power. For now she waited for her to finish. Perhaps this Nimbat could help teach her this dark power and how to harness it. [b]Kinna[/b] Kinna looked to Elfarian and nodded to her. There was definitely something going on with the forest. She ran quickly with Elfarian and the others towards the dark forest. As soon as they entered she felt the trees being destroyed and the forest dying. This was bad. Suddenly a huge group of people were teleported around her and the others. She looked around then slowly looked up to see two monsters flying above her. Kinna stepped back slowly and readied her bow. Whatever these things were they were stopping her from getting to the source of the corruption. [b]Pixie[/b] Pixie watched Igna get serious all of a sudden and threw a more severe attack at her. This time her eyes turned a dark red colour instead of the bright red that they were. She held her hands out and shout out a hug 160 degree dark rage blast all around her sending the axes flying back and destroying the rage blast. Once she was done she landed on the ground and sighed. "It seems I have visitors. Allow me to greet them then if you wish we can continue." She looked around at them all, taking them all into mind one by one. There were definitely quite a few. Her gaze stopped on Xarev and and saw how bad his arms were. She recognised him too. He was a mass serial killer that the First Kingdom of Power captured. "Xarev. You escaped it seemed. How unfortunate your arms are useless to you now. Allow me to fix that." She held out her hand and suddenly his arms turned completely black instantaneously. She watched him move his arms and stretched them all out then looked at everyone else. Three nogitsune, one of which had turned into a nogitsune randomly which wasn't normal. Orochi and Maru which were well known around these parts but she wasn't afraid of him. In fact she was excited that she had drawn him here. Two Elysium Sword Wielders... she had quite a collection. "Greetings, all of you. My name is Pixie and you have entered my forest. It seemed my friends have allowed you access to my inner sanctum. So now I make you all an offer. Join me and I can grant you unimaginable power. You've all seen what I can do already. While you work for me I will allow safe passage through my forest for you and any of your allies as long as we are all in agreement. I am the mother of darkness, the creator of magic. Join me now and forever stay protected in my domain. All I need from you is your name. Speak it now and forever be protected from harm and have the power of a God!" After she finished speaking she looked around at everyone slowly to see who would join her and who wouldn't. Her eyes scanned the crowd waiting for everyone to speak up. [b]Midnight[/b] First there was Darkness then there was Pixie. Midnight was born and her eyes laid upon Pixie; her mother. Her mother was busy, for now she was nameless. She didn't know what or who she was but that was okay. Her mother needed to send all those who dared oppose her during her fight to leave. Afterwards Pixie would do the honor of naming her. Midnight spread her wings and took flight. She flew around for a moment waiting for anyone to dare enter the forest when she saw a group of elves. It was her brother that decided to teleport any who dared oppose their mother in one place. Midnight hovered over them and stared with at them with dark purple eyes. "Begone! Our mother wishes not to be disturbed!" With one quick breath Midnight shot out black toxic gas that would burn through anything it touch out of her mouth then with a single lash of her tail sent a huge wave of black toxic acid at everyone which would spread like wildfire aiming to destroy them all with a single attack. She flew higher and shot out a powerful acidic toxic bomb which she shot into the sky. The bomb exploded and sent down acidic rain which would burn through the trees and create huge puddles of toxic acid. Then she released toxic particles from her body turning the oxygen in the area unbreathable. Finally she breathed out one last breath of toxic gas turning every tree in the area purple and toxic forcing them to release constant fumes of black toxic gas. The toxic rain puddles would release thick tentacles to grab anyone nearby and pull them into the puddle. All the toxic fumes were designed to force hallucinations and turn them against each other forcing them to think that they are each their own enemy while making them decay and rot.
