Character Crossover Crisis City (C4 Reboot)

Ah, finally my post is up! This took awhile and if you have any problems with it or if there any errors please let me know. It was hard to make the Jax part because I already had Forneus' planned out.

Jax - The Remains of the Bento Brawl - Bento Tree

---

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. "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!" 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: Demacia? Did it somehow end up here too? No wait, that can't be Demacia. I'd be hearing shouting by now... 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, "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." The Grandmaster said as he sheepishly scratched the back of his head, "At least, I think It does..."

Jax then looked over to Chun-Li, "What about you? You gonna stay here with that Chao girl or are you gonna head over with me and Saotome over here?" 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.

Forneus - The Chaos of Positively 4th Street

---

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- SPARTA!" 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 begin.

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: "Dolores inferni circumdederunt me obsesso copiis, infernus et perditio ultra..." (I call upon the forces invested in me, the underworld and the abyss beyond.) He continued as the space began to show a low hue of yellow, "Gaude! Animabus damnatorum transeat ex hoc mundo serviunt abyssum irent. Tua praebe illi tormentum odio ut in novo incipiet meretur iniquitas tua!" (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!) The ground began to rumble as the pentagram lit up with a soft and eerie amber glow, "Undas pelagi cingentibus dimittetur tibi hanc optimam in terra Nam tempus tandem huc!" (The abyss opens for you to be purged from this fertile earth! For the time has finally here!) 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. "Nos adducturum tradam te in plura quam usquam terrarum possunt! Tuo servies dominumque novum et quod semel amisit reparari potuit!" (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!) The roads beside the intersection began to crack, and the same amber light began to gleam throughout the entirety of the street. "Quid enim Elore obtexit. Quid enim Saruin quaesivit. Quid enim Shirach celavit a! Quid enim sibi Mortem timet!" (For what Elore has detested. For what Saruin has sought. For what Shirach has hidden from! For what Death himself fears!) Then, came the moaning of what sounded to be tortured souls screaming in agony filling out the area with noise. "SICANT ABYSS ACCIPITE VOBIS." (LET THE ABYSS TAKE YOU.) 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.

Jax - Battle of the Bento Tree

---

Jax rushed toward the fray towards the singing combatant. He swung the Cup at a bug who was just about to sneak up on her, with a mighty CLUNK! and a crack, the bug fell towards the ground as Jax landed on the hillside. He saw the girl admist everything, she was still singing, how could she be so unaware that monsters were trying to kill her? Maybe she's like Annie. The Grandmaster thought, She might not realize her situation and something else might be taking over maybe? Another bug rose up to fight him, flapping it's reflective wings in the light. CLUNK! Down it went, screaming as most likeley it's skull had been fractured by the titanium and silver frame of the cup. Without another second to breathe, three more popped up by Jax. Flapping their wings menacingly they flew straight at him, fangs out and eyes filled with instinct. The Grandmaster's eyes lit up and a smile cracked underneath his mask, he lived for this. He began to spin his staff over his head, it whirled in the wind almost matching the high paced beat of the ravenous insect's wings. The Grandmaster with about a fourth of his strength swung the mighty pole at the three around him: Clunk! Clunk! CLUNK! Two of them dropped to the ground but the third one shook it off and without warning charged again, catching the Grandmaster by the Cup and furiously biting on it.

Jax snickered, this was a challenge and the Grandmaster at Arms loved them. He let go of his staff and instead hopped on the giant beast's back, running down it's shiny exoskeleton he slid all the way to the back of it's thorax. The bug, unware of what he was doing simply shook in order to make him fall but was unsuccessful. The Grandmaster finishing his slide front flipped into the air, his left foot began to glow with a gleaming yet empowering yellow color. He winded up his foot using the momentum of the flip and flew back down behind the creature, because of the air and the momentum of Jax falling he knew that this would hurt. Then it happened, the Grandmaster swung his left leg around and kicked the insect with such force that its wings stopped, it flew very far into another hill where it crashed and made a very convincing crushing sound. The Summoner's Cup flew back through the air, twirling as it majestically glowed in the sun.

Jax landed on the ground and caught the cup with his right hand and looked back up at the girl, still fighting and still singing. What is with this woman? Why does she sing? How the hell is she still alive even? The Grandmaster stared at the girl, confused and at the same time he punched a small fly who immediately fell to the floor and died. He looked back to his friends, the small pony firing laser beams into the air and Chun-Li kicking everything with everything she had. Jax called out to Ranma, Hey kid! Join in over here! There's lot's of stuff to rough up! And I don't think Miss Sing-Song here likes bein alone! So show me that fighting will ya?

Forneus - Upper Yazoo Street

---

The dead end alleyway near the massive turntable on Yazoo Street's end was a usually quiet and very tame place at night. Most cats, dogs, rats, spiders and other unseen creatures of the day would gather in the dimly lit corridor usually to find solace from their harsh days on the streets. However, tonight was a different. As the sun sets the street lamps on Yazoo Street lit up with a strong amber light that seemed to shine faintly of the freshly paved asphalt. The rails for the various trolleys and trains returned the mercury lamp's boisterous greeting by emitting an eerie glow. Returning to the alleyway all the quiet residents of the night simultaneously gathered into one spot and proceeded in their own language to talk about the days trifling events. Usually everyone would have a unique and equally terrifying story to share, all of them except one: a lonely orphaned kitty who spent most of her time napping in the shade during the day and finding scraps of food by night. All of the other animals rejected her and detested her for being lazy unlike every other animal who worked their hardest during the day. She longed for an end to this trivial lifestyle of hers, she desired to be happy. Unbeknownst to her however, something in the regular cycle was about to change.

Suddenly in the middle of the gathering where they were listening to a pit bull talking about it's day a portal appeared on the ground, the pitbull jumped off and ran back to its cohorts in horror. The portal was a dominant shade of yellow from the outside, it's faint light giving off a calming yet terrifying radiance. Then came the moans, they were quiet at first but they began to crescendo in both noise and pitch. One brave mouse slowly crept up to the portal looking into it with it's tiny- beady eyes. It panicked at the sight that was present to it, souls of the damned; at least thousands were moaning and turning in the portal in seemingly endless agony. The mouse darted back to the safety of his friends when the portal made a shriek, the kitty who had been bored this entire time looked up to see a portal in the middle of the ground- something was up. Slowly a figure rose up from the gaping hole in the earth, images of the damned caressing the figure as its long hair flowed in the wind. Slowly the figure faded more into view, it was a man who had long green hair. He was wearing all sorts of jewelry, a ceremonial vest and leather boots along with silk pants. At his side there was a beatiful horn engraved with jewels beyond those of socialite's wildest dreams. Finally, the man stepped out of the portal- the souls leaving him as they moaned back into the portal: closing it. The onlookers of animals who had witnessed this spectacle were now as equally intrigued as they were horrified. The man's eyes opened, his eyes an intense shade of crimson.

Forneus surveyed the area around him, the trip here had been no easy task especially since Aunas had such a heatstroke. How annoying to him that it had taken so much longer than anticipated and even seconded by Arakes! But alas, that did not trifle him now. What did trifle him was the great ammount of animals that stood in front of him, blocking the entryway to what he assumed was the main street. Feeble minded creatures, always onlooking with an amount of uncertainty. This is why aquatic life is far superior, if a Dolphin sees a Shark it will swim away as fast as possible; not give it an idiotic look! Forneus smiled, he didn't like arrogance- but if he himself deemed anyone so below his level that not even God himself would smile upon them: it meant that it was alright. He did not care for the upper land that much, Arakes did, Byunei did but not him, he knew that life above water had not fully evolved yet. The sea was dangerous, intelligent, mysterious and of course brimming with knowledge that not even the finest scholar could ever fathom. However the sea was not his domain, the Abyss was. The Abyss was even more admirable than every sea on every planet, it held so much that it would trounce them all at any moment! Forneus smiled, he saw a pit bull and two other dogs get defensive and rather apprehensive of the lord; much like a cornered rat.

Sporting a grin so vile you'd ponder if it was actually glassgow he walked towards the group of hapless animals. Oh what is this? Some sort of circus? The dog to the right of the pit bull reacted immediately jumping towards Forneus with its mouth gaping open. Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Bad dogs always get the leash. The dog came in within a foot of Forneus before a spear of water shot up from the ground, it met the dog's head as soon as it had come within breathing distance. It easily pierced the neck and proceeded to tear through the skull until the top of the spear came out the other end with a loud CRACK! The dog was dead, eyes still in attack mode. The rest of the animals ran for their lives before they would also be made an example of, except for the kitty who had caught Forneus' attention. The small kitten made a nervous meow as Forneus closed in on her, eyes glowing red. He stopped right in front of her and picked her up with one hand, the poor thing was too frightened to try and struggle.

"And just what do we have here?" The lord cooed as he looked the kitten straight in the eyes, "You know, I'm quite impressed with those who don't run away from my performances." The helpless animal only stared back and purred as if in agreement.

Forneus snickered, "You have my respect feline! You should be proud of standing your ground against the very essence of abyssal waters! Not much do! He brought the kitten closer, for some reason- she no longer felt fear. "You put up with these imbeciles every day don't you!? You simply sit back while they mock you and pretend that nothing is happening- don't you!?"

Forneus' words were like daggers to the lonely kitten's heart, he spoke the truth. "Allow me to tell you something." The lord stated, "I despise cowardice." With that sentence Forneus snapped his finger, in the next few seconds that followed- cries of despair and pain filled the brisk air. The kitten's fear returned, she knew she was the only one left.

"But fear not! For you are on a higher plane of thinking than those idiots. I will let you go for now, you may choose to accompany me if you so desire to maintain that higher plain of thinking." Forneus pet the kitty gently and put her down, with that the lord strolled down the alleyway and out to the main street.

As he proceeded out into the dusk he heard what sounded like buzzing. He turned around to see three giant beetle-like insects flying towards him. They all looked the same, the had a sleek green carapace, six bulging blue eyes and a long nose-like tube used for possibly devouring their meal. Forneus cackled as the beasts approached him from above, he thought to himself as to what to do when the situation began to unfold.

Mmm. The one in the middle is a bit hungry looking, he'll impulsively try to stab me with that giant nose of his. The Whirlpool of the Abyss stepped to one side as a giant green nose stabbed into the chocolate pavement. Forneus unstrapped a hidden cloth underneath his cloack and took out his favorite short-sword: Venus. Without another word he sliced quickly, removing the creature's nose- purple liquid gushing out of the half that was erased forcefully. The creature bore its head down again, only for three spears of water to stab into it's round face- piercing its brain and killing it instantly. Forneus done with this deed smiled and then thought to himself again, The second one will obviously try to employ some teamwork with the third one and attack me from behind... Let's see them try this!

The two other insects flew to both sides of the lord and proceeded to charge him. Forneus smiled and with his hand drew a circular motion in the air, after 2 seconds a giant bubble appeared around him. The insects increased their pace, hungry for this new victim who had been stupid enough to walk out upon an open street. At the same time they both hit the bubble, causing Forneus' hair to rustle. He opened his eyes and said plainly, "You can continue your feeding in the bottom of the Abyss, heathens." The bubble exploded and the immense pressure of the bubble caused the two insect's bodies to rupture, both of them exploding in a purple mess as their remains fell to the ground. Forneus remained where he had stood and smiled, no goop was around him and he was sure the cat from earlier had watched him. He was right and she wanted more.

The Whirpool of the Abyss

Forneus - The Abyssal Lord of Water

Appearance:

Universe: Romancing Saga 3

Personality: Forneus is a cold, calculating demon who enjoys outwitting his enemies instead of simply rushing in with force. He is charismatic and will rationalize people who might attempt to kill him before they pitifully attempt to stop the lord of water. His bubbly way with words and his intelligence make him a strong ally to the rest of the Abyssal Lords and is most noted for being their planner, as such he is precise and very meticulous with his actions. He absolutely despises those who think they are smarter than they actually are and is vicious towards anyone who is arrogant.

Powers/Skills: Forneus is a very strong user of Water Magic, with a flick of his wrist he can unleash powerful waves, squalls, spear-like rain and even exploding bubbles. His most dangerous ability out of all of these is a forbidden spell known as Maelstrom that bends Mother Nature's serene grace to usher in a mighty conglomeration of waves, whirpools and images of sea monsters to rip appart whoever may stand in his path, however this may only be used if he is next to or is currently in a body of water. Forneus is also able to channel dead souls to the abyss via a magic circle, due to his status as an Abyssal Lord and due to his mission of gathering the power of the abyss. He can communicate with the souls he absorbs, learning new knowledge about his surroundings and things about others. He also has the ability to read a things aura and like most other lords can draw conclusions from the personality or overflowing emotion. Other than his magic Forneus is quite skilled at fencing, earning himself the nickname "Swordfish" by his fellow lord Aunas. His fencing techniques are mostly based of aquatic life and are very fast- much like the waves of the ocean during a storm. His most notable technique is known as the "Pufferfish Stab" in which he repeatedly strikes the target with incredible speed and precision. Most of his other power was destroyed when the Death Eclipse ended, so to most he would seem like a normal wizard.

Brief Bio: Forneus was born from the Abyss, a horrible, nightmarish place that housed many of demons, abominations and god knows what-else. When the first Death Eclipse occurred, the Four Abyssal Lords were brought into existence. The eclipse's purpose was to end all life on the planet so that a new era may be ushered in as the Abyss absorbs the life-force of the previous era. These lords were responsible for ending the world when the eclipse occurs by creating powerful natural disasters. Mind-shattering earthquakes that ripped apart the soil and made the very essence of gravity tremble; Arakes. Speed of light winds that wreaked havoc upon the fertile earth, blowing away and leaving no trace of what had once been there; Byunei. Terrifying and destructive waters that rose above and beyond, destroying the peace of the ocean and wiping away all life on land; Forneus. Magma and Raging Fires that seeped out of the unholy hell of the earth's core, burning every last organism to a crisp and causing the very planet to be set ablaze with agony; Aunas. Combined, these four lords and the ruler of the Abyss caused the planet to simply cease its living once every 300 years. The Abyss afterwards would absorb the energy from the dying planet so that it would further consume the boundary between life and death until it had completely extinguished the concept of both; thus bending the fabric of reality and creating its own laws and physics.
Once the line had been blurred, a terrible creature would finally be released. This creature was so terrifying and so unspeakable the gods above took immediate action, they sealed the power of the Abyss into the planet it had abused for so long in the form of four gates; each on one corner of the earth. As for the creature, it was to be sealed inside two living beings known as: "The Destined Children". Who should never- ever meet, for if they do- the creature will re-emerge, ending all life as we know it.
1000 years after the creation of these Children, a disturbance occurred. The life on earth: humans, discovered how to track the eclipse. Using this knowledge, a youth with Green Hair led a team of friends on a quest to finally end the bloody cycle and to destroy the Abyss completely. For 2 years they struggled to find the Abyss Gates that contained the Four Noble Devils, facing many hardships and trials. Eventually, with sheer power that not even the Lord of Water himself could expect- they defeated every last one. They even managed to fight their way into the Abyss, however as they did- the Destined Children also made their way to the Abyss in order to finally release the creature. The four lords, seeing as their time was limited revealed their true selves- and fought the group one last time. The battle raged for at least six hours and all of them were defeated- fading into the Abyss as they once were.
Finally, the young heroes took on the creature, entering a long and bloody battle. The eclipse occurred during this fight, however even though they knew they would perish they still fought with their might. Finally, after one last heave the creature was destroyed- it's sheer power caused the Abyss itself to rupture and with that- the planet destroyed. At first it seemed like a victory to the abyss until the world once again reincarnated, and returned to the way it once with every hero alive as if nothing had happened. Everyone who had fought for so long finally lived in peace without a care in the world, however- unbeknownst to them; the Abyss did not fade...
Forneus and the other lords began to think about ways to reinstate the eclipse, possibly extinguishing human life forever and freeing the earth finally so that the demons could live in peace. Finally, they reached a plan: They would send one of themselves to an alternate dimension and gather power from there so that when they returned, they would have enough energy to recreate an entirely new eclipse. They chose Forneus for this task because of his sheer intelligence and overall planning. Forneus now travels through a portal of tormented souls, making his way to Roanpour and hopefully- restoring the power of the Abyss.

Equipment:

Neptune's Trident - A trident imbued with the power of water. It's movements are as elegant as the waves, but it's strikes are as fearful as an oncoming storm. It is Forneus' sacred weapon and it instills fears into those he fights with.

Horn of Capricorn - A horn that Forneus uses to create astral projections and to find his way to his next objective. It was created using the dead carcasses of a thousand crabs and it sounds beautiful to those who lend an ear.

Vengeful - A short sword with a teethed edge that was abandoned by its old master long ago. It holds a resentment towards others and hates those who it's master despises. Forneus is the only lord with enough mental fortitude to handle this blade.

Necklace of Rubiss - A special necklace given to Forneus by a worshipper of the Abyss, it alerts him when he is near an area with a massive amount of the dead so he may use their souls to harbor them for the abyss.


Others: He really, loves the sea. God help you if you decide to at least think about destroying it.

Character Crossover Crisis City (C4 Reboot)

@LuciansMentor Forneus would be accepted if you're alright with nerfing Maelstrom's effectiveness if he's not near an already near existing source of large water, okay?

@Grey Star

Oh yeah, that's actually what it does in the game. If Maelstrom isn't used while on a field of water, then the power is halved. I forgot to put that sorry -_-.
