The War of the Three

@KoL
Would you be alright if Bonesword entered the battlefield from one of the forests?

Purely for... um... tranquility purposes.

@Banana

No problem, the point of insertion is mostly each one's choice.

@Jedly

By the way, I forgot to say it before, but you can choose what happened to Akane's avatar and whoever else, just like Rofls did.

Deep Ground Online (Hiatus)

@KoL
Aaron and Emma crashing Eris' fun sound like a good idea?

@Mega Birb

Probably, certainly they can be around there, given that it's the mall.

I'll do a post either later today, or tomorrow's morning.

A SPECIAL TREAT YOU SAY!?!? UWEN IS IN!

@NorthernGR

He won't be disappointed, I assure you.

@ReaptheMusic

Forgot to add you on my post. The battle is on.

The War of the Three

"War. War never changes..." Or maybe, it does. However in a world such as the Nexus, build around it, living and breathing of nothing but conflict, there can be only so much change before one goes back to the basics. After all, history's a carousel, no matter how long you ride it, one time you always come back to ground zero.

Such is the nature of this battle, there shall be no conflicts for resources, no quests for glory, or points to capture. Just war in its most pure and unbridled form...

I N T R O

Having overcome the trials demanded by the Infamous Alchemist of Genesis, despite the great hardships and traps laid on their way, the former Triumvirate found itself once more at at a state of ease.

BGM

War was still raging all through the Nexus, of course, but the main representatives of each faction could rest for sometime, after becoming the playthings of the narcissistic genius who — perhaps — had a little too much power in her hands.

That wouldn't last, for, soon enough, another missive would reach the hands of the leaders of the three realms:

"The mystic lands have risen once again from amidst the primordial chaos. It's time to test the mettle of your best, for this time only TOTAL WAR will grant you victory.

Neither accept, nor give any quarter— as long as the blood of your foes is still running within their veins, there shall be no end to the oncoming strife."

O B J E C T I V E

— Kill or capture all the opposing forces on the battlefield. No other condition shall grant the victory to any side. Only the last man standing shall savor the spoils of this conflict.

The War of the Three

Victoire Bordeaux, the Bloody Countess

"Oh?" Victoire let out a surprised vocalization as Sliske mentioned her oath to Ira. "Please, don't mind me. If you paid attention, I swore loyalty to the new 'Ruler of Hell'," A fanged grin made itself known once more. Victoire sure liked to flash her canines.

"If you were to dethrone her, I would gladly become your servant— Oh, silly me, I guess this turns me into the Starscream, right?" Victoire questioned herself, before remembering that no one other than she was likely to know what she was talking about. "Not that any of you would know what this means, fufu~" And then she resumed with her tea, as if nothing had happened.

Yet, the sudden arrival of a Dullahan Courier riding his dark chariot into Ira's chambers, before kneeling down and saying, in a raspy, unnatural voice, "All praise the new ruler of Hell!" The undead rider drew a leather scroll and presented it to Ira, "For the glory of Hell!" The courier exclaimed, waiting for his next orders.

Ciel, the Stargazer

"Oh, no, I'm the one who's sorry for intruding like this," Ciel said hastily as the ghostly girl came out to greet her. "It's not like I'm trying to tow you back to Celestia, much less pry on your life. There are more things we can talk about, for example..." the argent-haired girl tapped her chin and furrowed her brows pensively, "Ah, I see!"

"Have you ever taken part in a major battle?" Ciel asked spontaneously. However before she could finish saying what she meant, the sound of mighty trumpets silenced all of Celestia, announcing that their leader, the Divine Imperator had issued a new call to arms. "Well, whether you did or not, I guess that's your chance, not? Don't worry, I'll be there as well," Ciel extended a hand, beckoning the wraith, "By the way, I'm Ciel, pleased to meet you!"

Diana, the Claw of Heavens

"Oh, that's what you wanted to ask? Hehehe," Diana laughed heartily when Torag made his question. "Yeah, I kinda can do it now, after I got used to what Iona did to me before Alt Signia. Most of my power is ok to use."

"I don't know what would be if I pushed it to the edge, though," Diana added before the trumpet call sounded. "What did ya want it for?"

Ni-Mu, the 2201st Prototype

"I—" Before Ni-Mu could even say a single sentence, the lights of Hyperion were shut down momentarily, allowing an holographic projection of the High Queen to tower over even the highest skyscrapers built by the hand of the Machina.

"Listen to me, my children, a new conflict rose on the horizon. This is a battle that we, Machina, cannot afford to lose. By my word, the strongest and more capable of you should present themselves at the docks at this moment. All who want to, except unit Ni-Mu— you are to present yourself for maintenance, a diagnosis of your systems is overdue," Eos said before her semblance faded from Hyperion's skyline once again.

"We shall talk another time," Ni-Mu said to Bonesword, already turning her back to the derelict hovel. Even if all of the android's body language made it dubiously clear if she wanted to part with the skeletal swordsman, the commands of the High Queen were absolute. Not in a sense that they were to be respected with utmost diligence, but rather that a being like Ni-Mu could be robbed of her volition by a single word coming from Eos. Very much likely, this wasn't the first time that Bonesword was pitted with such a dark reality of the world of the Machina.

The War of the Three

@ReaptheMusic

As hinted on the IC and... revealed by a random slip up previously, it'll be a deathmatch on the mystical land of Arcadia, formed mostly by floating islands full of lush greenery and water.

The War of the Three

@ReaptheMusic @Lonewolf685

Both characters came in right about the time for the next battle. Good.
