NPF Avatars: with hardcore finger pointing action!

[PyrosNine]

The takeover had been swift and brutal. The fact that General NexGen was not the actual owner of Gaia made little a difference, especially when it turned out the actual owner of Gaia was his 4 year old niece whom Kyuubi persuaded to allow the takeover for a chocolate covered lollipop.

Pyros, who remained almost as his sub-concious's sub-concious, was capable of lamenting the loss of a perfectly good sweet.

With one fell swoop, the Hyperlink portal generators were all shut down, the last transmission to NPF being those in battle with the RoboHobo. Kyuubi realized he'd have to help Fenris after this. Usually when one's brain was put into a giant robot, it was hard to get it out.

With the takeover done, Gaia set to rebuilding itself. But Kyuubi still had things to do. "POS. Do what you must here, but I must leave. I intend to use one of the Hyperlink portals to return to deal with Raiden, lest the machinations of one I loathe shall destroy us all. I must settle an old score, and right a great wrong."

Kyuubi nodded to POS and walked out of control room, all four paws softly padding the ground. "Also, I still hate Gaia, and can't wait to get the hell out of it."

The Gaian aides huddled together in fear as their own gaians desired to settle the score. They could not run, for the only direction to run was with the NPF warriors. And they expressed an even greater desire to kill.

One Gaian pulled out a R.Y.N.O.

The aides suddenly became religious.

[GARUD]

Garud followed her fellow group members, and hopefully heading to Raiden. The demon slayer had a few tricks under her sleeve... or more likely, starting to grow out of her back. The blood inside her body turned black as night. He was close.

"Almost time..."

[POS Industries]

Pedro nodded to NexGen as everything was officially in order and followed after Pyros to the Hyperlink portal. "Oh, no worries," POS chuckled to the Kyuubi," I'm done here for the time being. Once Raiden and his sugar daddy are dealt with, I'll make this place into something more useful. Like a parking lot or something. Let's get going."

[PyrosNine]

As the two casually walked to the Hyperlink generator, Kyuubi mentally punched in the controls. A visual aid screen showed their destination, NPF. At it's current zoom, several major landmarks could be seen, some of which were created just that day thanks to our beloved heroes(?).

The image zoomed in on the area where the portals had opened last, showing the vast battlefield before the mountain temple where NexGen had said the others were. Kyuubi chose this as a perfect spot to go, and powered up the generator. But just as it whirred to life, and the red "Go!" button lit up, Kyuubi spotted something else on the monitor.

Someone in fact, who was busy attempting to use an advanced communications device. Someone very familiar.

Kyuubi altered the jump coordinates. For the first time anyone had ever seen, Kyuubi smiled. It was a sight to behold, and filled all who saw it with a general uneasiness and a good guess something painful would happen soon.

Kyuubi and POS entered the portal...

Back at NPF:
-----------------------

Fidem was hurting. He could regenerate no doubt, and he was the greatest god-mod he knew, but the events earlier were definitely a strain. Even if he was sound physically, his mind was wrecked. He pondered terrorizing what was left of the city to get his hands on some Mod strength Tylenol, but first he needed to check back in with the Gaian Defcon. He couldn't seem to get in touch though, thanks to that damn bitch that had flung him from his portal. It was only logical that after her entrance into Gaia, she broke the portals just to keep him from following.

She was lucky she'd done so, for if he'd caught her, he'd have done some of his own wrestling moves on her. Mostly grapples. And she'd be naked.

Yeah....after this was over he'd need to find some female company. There was only so much death and destruction to satisfy a god-moder before he turned to porn, and he'd been aching for porn before this whole brouhaha had even begun. But he'd have to get to Gaia first before he could even touch his bank account, as a precaution used by the Gaians to keep him from just running off.

And as said before, he couldn't get into contact with Gaia. Even when portals in the distance opened up, he still couldn't contact them, nor could he get to those portals in time to use them himself. He could create a portal, but long time ago in some Internet physics course he'd taken before he turned evil and started destroying things, he'd learned that creating a portal then taking the device that made that portal through it was a no-no. It would make all that was in the portal be compressed to the size of a pin-prick, then explode with a force big enough to rip the land a new one.

Realizing there wasn't anything he could do was never fun for a god-mod, but this was such time. Fidem reached into his clothes and pulled out a cigar, and lit it. His cigars regenerated when he did, one of the few customizations he made to his god-modding persona. "They'd better contact me then, the a$$holes."

Suddenly, he felt a crackle of energy fill the air surrounding him. "Huh?" A portal? Were they finally sending a portal?

"About damn time!" Fidem stood up with indignance, until he noticed something. The location of the energy, the pinpoint, the focus....they were exactly where he was.

Before he could curse, the air and the very space lit up and warped, cleaving him in two. Then, came the burst of energy that came from a portal opening up. Fidem was surrounded by light, and-

BAAAAMF!

The portal opened, spilling it's contents of Fox and Capitalist onto the barren wasteland the battlefield had become. It's passengers delivered, the portal closed and dissappeared.

Kyuubi looked nonchalantly yabout the ground they stood upon. "Oh dear. It appears I teleported onto someone. How rude of me."

Bits and pieces of Fidem, each no bigger than a cornflake were sprinkled about the battlefield.

[mauve]

Mauve headed into the temple after Garudia and Krylica, holding the PSG in her arms like a rifle. It was dark and eeriliy quiet inside the great temple. How the hell could a building made of highly-reflective material that housed a being of pure lightning be so damn dark inside?!

The theif fiddled with a control on the side of the weapon, triggering a small electronic hum as the machine prepared whatever it used as ammo. Mauve might not be able to cast spells, but she could still shoot, and she intended to do so. She'd give Raiden a nice system shock.

And then she'd find the dirty bastard who was responsible for the sailor fuku incident and give him/her some of the same.

[Bailey]

Thunderpaw loped easily along behind, occasionally trailing his claws on the walls, leaving massive gouges to show which way they had gone.

[Raiden]

The NPFers walked down the dark hallways deeper into the temple. After several minutes of walking, they eventually come upon a vast hall. It's wide, dark, and mostly empty. There are, however, a few things in the hall.

At the far end of the hall, a strange floating orb of energy was hopping about what seemed like a half-made Raiden. The orb was making him a new body. Behind the body forging, there was a figure in a mask playing with the Kurosen and Mashirosen. When the group walked in, the masked figure turned. He was mostly hidden in shadow, keeping his form an enigma.

[Krylo]

When Haeru saw the Kurosen he moved quickly, sliding one of her guns away while training the other on their true enemy's forehead. Honestly, there were only two things keeping her from pulling the trigger--first, and foremost, the mod bracelet should be operational now, but she'd need time to recalibrate it to the Kurosen, and, secondly she didn't know what kind of powers this villain had, so she may need that bracelet operational.

She decided, instead, to stall. Every half-witted villain the world over has the need to make some stupid jackasseried attempt at a plan exposing evil speech--it was like they were all insecure little puppies that needed to be validated, 'Yes, you jerkwad Sephiroth knock off, that was so VERY clever. Such a good boy'. 'Idiots. Oh well, may as well use it to my advantage...'

"Who the hell are you, and what are you planning on doing with the Kurosen?" Haeru said, her tone rather violent, as she stealthily slid her free hand into her pocket with the mod bracelet, beginning to adjust it while it was still out of sight.

[PyrosNine]

Kyuubi waved it's tail, and with a flash, all the bits and pieces of Fidem were packed in hundreds of air tight containers that few could ever open up. With another wave, the containers were stacked and labeled.

FI-Dough!
Fun for the whole family!

Then, Kyuubi scattered the cans through the ends of the earth. "I once liked Fidem. I knew him once, long before these events, but we went our seperate ways. He wanted to be the best god-modder there was, but when he realized he could never be a better god-mod than I, he parted ways with me forever."

Kyuubi walked towards the temple, still mentally talking. "Now it'll take awhile for him to reassemble himself, but i won't kill him. For he's just yet another misbegotten soul trying to make up for his gaping flaws by seemingly being invincible. In truth, I pity him."

Kyuubi and Kamen walked the lonely path to the temple, but were unassailed by any Gaians so the walk was very brief and uneventful. There may have been some of Kyuubi's magic done, for the two reached the temple's doors quite quickly.

"....Raiden is near." Kyuubi whispered, lowly growling.
