[IC] HCL 2: Twisted tinkers' triumph

[thewizardguy]

The Judge chuckles. It's a low, echoing sound, almost inhuman. "Imbalance is but a temporary thing. Anarchy, chaos, it's simply a side effect of the imperfections within our reality. You are but a symptom, and yet I aim to eliminate the disease. If your nature lies in imbalance, then soon you shall be dead. For once all is one with the Genesis Devourer, there will be a perfect balance between all things, and we shall forge a utopia of life and death." The Judge dismisses the stranger as a threat, his sensing percieving an alteration in the future. The fabric of destiny was once more warped.

A large amount of energy was emanating through the remainders of this world, focused on the girl who the Judge had defeated before. It was rather easy to recognize the energy, a fool's attempt at controlling the fabric of reality. "Are you speeding up your demise? Once this realm collapses, you will all be dropped into the void. Exposed to the destructive powers of Omega, it will take mere moments for your souls and bodies to be destroyed completely. I am able to survive, but you will not." The man smiles, as his own power gathers inside of him. Energy focuses around him, as the intertwining powers of life and death spiral around one another. A perfect balance, albeit slightly disrupted as more and more of the microorganisms were destroyed by the Void. Those slight disturbances sent tremors through the ground, and set the Judge's skin on fire. Slight impurities releasing enough energy to burn countries to cinders. Massive flashes of destruction, uncontrolled and deadly, followed by equal bursts of wild life energy, growths and creatures crawling from nowhere. Small hints at the power that was gathered in this man's hands. "Bring it, children."

"Oh really? you can survive that....Well, tell me, just how much power does your body hold oh great one?" The thing asks, in a tone implying curiosity over mockery, at least in this moment. "You seem powerful..." It adds, backing up slightly.

[thewizardguy]

The homunculus stiffened, as it was unexpectedly filled with the now liquified Mithias. For a couple of moments, it's meaty hands pulled at the liquid in it's pores, before it's color shifted from red to green, and from green to blue. Around Mithias, it seemed to melt apart, turning into a small pool of blue sludge. The smell of ammonia filled the air, almost to a sickening extent, and the path was left open for you. Alice raises an eyebrow as she looks over to you, a faint smile on her lips. "You know, I sent you off for a reason. Impressive as that little display was, it's quite troublesome if you won't cooperate."

[Teoinsanity]

You KILLED THE VAMPIRE!

He said angrily

He then points. His hand in a finger gun position,and a small hole appears at the edge of his gauntlets finger

[Wraithblade6]

The vampire reforms. "I'm sure that you did." He said, displeased. "And I'll wager that reason had nothing to do with my goals here. You will find, Miss, that there is more to me than my physical structure, as there is with all the life that you destroy." Mithias couldn't help himself. He narrowed his eyes as he felt his protective instincts kick in. He'd give her a chance, though, to reply, and to defend herself. "Explain yourself, or so help me, I will take this place apart."

[Teoinsanity]

Oh yeeeaaaah,you are a vampire,forgot.

He continues pointing his finger at her.

Why do you destroy worlds!?

[thewizardguy]

The girl's smile only widens. "I knew it! Soular energy!" She seems to move around her hands, as you can feel billions of microscopic beings moving around in the air. The very walls around you tremble, as you can feel the massive energy of so many living creatures moving in unison. an uncountable army, too small for the human eye to see, microclusters forming and dissipating. "I've already studied and enhanced my ideas on genetic manipulation and cell structures. And yet, you manage to perform acts of spontaneous transformation with no apparent power source. Complete rebuilds of not only a cellular, but a mollecular structure." Her grin somehow grows even wider than before, and her eyes take on a curious greed, a trademark symbol of a Heterodyne's insatiable curiosity. "In all of the databases constructed from the memory tissue of worlds from all across the multiverse, I could find only a single reoccurring being with this supposed ability. All accounts agree, although your appearance doesn't match him. Aono Tsukune, the Lord of Vampires."

The entire being seems to tremble and rumble, as she moves her fingers through the air. It's as if she were playing an invisible piano, orchestrating the movement of untold billions of beings, patterns emerging from the original chaos. You can feel ancient memories awakening from within. Tsukune had remained silent for a long time, his original conversation with you had drained the shard of his soul massively. After all, he was not a complete being, and but a shard of him had remained. However, you can feel your body almost automatically reacting, as the walls changed color, moving further apart. blobs of strange goo reached up from the ground, forming into solid objects, composed of structures of microscopic glue-like secretions from billions of creatures. Sections of the wall turned transparent, widening into square windows, as the floor turned a pastel, woodlike color. A red sky was revealed, a sea of blood. The structures in the room settled, forming chairs and desks. In a vastly surreal scenario, the very room you were in formed to the girl's will, as you realize the Genesis Devourer never was a single creature. It was completely composed of microorganisms, a structure composed of a combination of cells, each both individually capable, and perfectly cooperative. The greatest biological symbiotic system ever seen in the known multiverse, an ecosystem all on it's own, Set and calibrated by the mastermind who somehow orchestrated the entire thing.

"YES! Do you like it? Do you? It's pieced together from the remaining tissue that I was able to retrieve from a certain demonic peddler. The ergonamic structures had to be callibrated to approximate the materials, and I had to make a number of assumptions based on my limited knowledge of the planet and world, judging things by fragmented memories, but I think it turned out rather nicely!" The girl blabbered on, stating a number of scientific and occasionally completely nonsensical comparisons, obviously thoroughly impressed with herself. Before you, you find yourself in a classroom. It feels like home. At the desks sit students wearing green uniforms, eahc facing away from you. A strange girl with blue hair, and long black wings. A small child wearing an odd outfit, a pointed hat on her head. A variety of strange characters, and you can feel the remnants of memories stirring at the sight of them. This was the classroom where you had first met Tsukune.

The girl chuckled, and you realized she'd stopped talking a little ago. She was looking you over with a critical eye, the look of a scientist examining some interesting specimen under controlled circumstances. Her hands were on her hips, as she raised an eyebrow at you. Then she promptly turned away, as she walked for the door. "The man I hired for an important job asked me to prepare this. You may have changed your appearance, Tsukune, but you were a fool to believe you could remain hidden forever. As for me, I'm just interested in seeing what happens." As she walks, every single figure in the room stands. Their faces were empty, devoid of noses or mouths. Slowly, red liquid started leaking down the sides of their faces, small holes opening in both their skin and clothing. Each stares you down without eyes, and you can clearly sense the billions of beings, formed together to create these humanoid structures.

Tap.... tap..... tap......

Three footsteps, slowly approaching. You're surrounded by enemies, and yet suddenly, they seem superficial. As if they weren't a threat, pointless decorations, all bark and no real bite. Every cell in your body screams at you, every primal instinct your mind possesses exploding with fear. The sound of footsteps in the hallway outside this room. Three soft taps, and already you realize your mind is clouding with fear. Something was coming. And whatever it was, was incredibly dangerous. And it was someone that Tsukune had known.

[thewizardguy]

Teoinsanity said
Oh yeeeaaaah,you are a vampire,forgot.He continues pointing his finger at her.Why do you destroy worlds!?

Alice chuckles, as she takes the finger, and yanks it. She easily pulls you along, far stronger than her relatively petite frame would suggest, as she leads you out of the room while it was transforming. "Why, what other reason is there? For science, of course!" She smiles at you, as she leads you through a number of corridors. Even as she walks, you can feel the corridors moving, the structure of the Devourer changing to get her to where she wants to be more quickly. "But I can sense you're a man of science yourself, so let me show you. The greatest experiment this reality has ever seen, The experiment to reforge the laws of life and death itself."

[Teoinsanity]

Hey,I'm a man of science,but god put laws that mortals should not cross.

[thewizardguy]

"Psh. God? You people can't even agree on what those laws are, how am I supposed to care?" She smiles, as a massive wall parts in front of her. Black segmented carapace moves aside to reveal a massive chamber, it's walls a bleached white color. It smells burnt, the air charged with ozone. As you walk, you can feel a tingling on your skin, As if you had touched something mildly electric. A bright blue light fills the room, from a source too bright to look at. Everything is outlined, and you can hear, softly, the voices of hundreds of seperate people. It's strangely exhilerating, like a sugar high. You can feel somehting in the air, something electric, something highly charged. Something volatile and powerful, a concentration of unspeakable energies. "Welcome to my personal laboratory. Here, is where I shall focus the stream of souls. And then, I'll alter it according to my will."

[Wraithblade6]

Mithias listened carefully as the girl began speaking. She informed him that his, and Tsukune's, power was soul-based, which Mithias had not known previously. The vampire's cool, perturbed expression melted into surprise to hear her say Tsukune's name. Mithias blinked, pausing a moment. "Lord of vampires?" Had his very-dead benefator ever mentioned that detail? "So, you've been my lord all along, eh Tsukune? Very well." Mithias said this mostly to himself, then nodded in agreement.

As the room changed, Mithias completely lost track of what the red-headed woman had been saying. The room was the exact same as inside the white stone where he had encountered Aono. He looked at it, then looked again, verifying its memory. The only differences were the other "children" there with him, and that Tsukune was missing. This woman's hired accomplice certainly had prepared her, and Mithias was shocked, and growing uneasy.

Footsteps sounded, and the children's faces melted horribly. Unstoppable fear came on like a rush of adrenalin. Mithias crouched down, instinctively cowering. "What... What is this?!" He looked toward the door, terrified the knob would start turning. "Who's there? Don't... don't destroy me."

Massive flashes of destruction, uncontrolled and deadly, followed by equal bursts of wild life energy, growths and creatures crawling from nowhere. Small hints at the power that was gathered in this man's hands. "Bring it, children."

The golem chuckles "you seem to be getting my nature mixed up with yours." It says as millions of mosquito-like creature flies out of its cloak. Moving through various hidden portals "I merely seek to fix the balance you destroyed. After all, had you not done what you did, the soular stream wouldn't be shrieking in agony."

[Teoinsanity]

this will not end well,im telling you,there are poweres that are not meant to be touched

[Teoinsanity]

Its a shame that this lab has to be blown up.

Teo said with a sigh,he then runs around the lab,placing C4s everywhere.

they will explode in about 5 mins,and they all have diffrent codes,now if you excuse me,ill have to save vampy boy.

his wings appear,and he flys out of the door to find mithias

[kishin asura]

((Screw it. I'm gonna finish the storyline. It's the only way to get it off my mind))

The golem had waited. As it usually did. Waiting for the imbalance to reach a certain point. And the time had come for it to act. In the remaining time it had left the golem sat cross-legged and put its hands together. Channeling the power it had gained for it's great plan "I love this job." The golem chuckles as, seconds before the realm's fabric of reality finally collapsed, it released an enormous amount of energy comprehendable only to the great primals. The energy spread to specific parts of the multiverse with one purpose;

To prevent the destruction of the multiverse, and to preserve the ancient laws of the realms of life and death.

The energy started with the realm of the forsaken first. As the golem could not allow such a spiritual imbalance to exist, and as he was the source. The energy reversed the damage caused by the judge. Restoring the realm entirely. To the judge, it was not so merciful. As the damage was reversed the energy coursing through the judge destroyed his very existance. Ripping him apart atom by atom and obliterating his soul. His essence was erased as well

The energy moved on to the genesis devourer, those who fought to protect the multiverse were sent away from the belly of the beast and arrived somewhere safe. To the golem, they were allies and were to be spared. The energy launched a vicious assault the likes of which no one, save for the primals, could even begin to withstand. Nothing was left of it. Save for Alice. Whose consciousness was preserved. Alice was not dead. Nor was she alive. She was just....there... not that anyone truly knew how "there" she was, if they knew at all. Alice merely existed. Forced to listen to the cries of agony that those killed by the genesis devourer most likely let out in their final moments. Such a fate was the golem's way of punishing her for her attempt to destroy the balance it had worked its tail off to protect.

The energy reached its last stop. Or rather, last stops. It arrived at the planets that fell victim to the genesis devourer. Reversing the destruction and restoring life. The planets had not only regained the capability of sustaining life, but life itself. It's job done, the energy simply dispersed. It's actions having been perceived by many as happening in a mere instant.

The golem got up only to fall to its knees. Its body was severely cracked and damaged. This made the golem chuckle at its recklessness. For its body could only handle so much power before it became too much. Still, it had done what it meant to do. And for that it was thankful even as it limped through a portal and left

((It's done. Glad I got that out of my system.))

You know what? Fuck the path. HELL's COFFEE LOUNGE 2.0 IS ONCE AGAIN A GO!

[supertinyking]

All across the universe...something, somewhere, Called out to the powerful members of the lounge, calling them to one spot...a small planet, a ice covered ball of ash....but deep in the ice, held such a great danger that all would fear it, try to control it...in it...held........a plain ax...covered in moss, living moss.......

It had begun. The greatest weapon in the multiverse, this moss covered ax, now awakening from it's slumber. It called out to the greatest warriors of the multiverse, and some not to great...but drawn, none the less....

[Wraithblade6]

A certain vampire blips on, shades on, arms crossed. Now accustomed to interplanar-dimensional-multiverse-whatthefuckever transport, he twitches not a muscle as he immediately blasts whatever the hell is in front of him with a wave of fire.

The icy frost melts rapidly, causing the ground under him to give way, as he plummets into a deep cavern......
