NPF Avatars: Going where no man has gone before!

[Truce]

Ecurt was pissed. He was really really pissed. In fact, he was so pissed that he shoved Gleipnir up the Yellow Submarine's radio. "You idiot! Do you know what you just did?! The Sacred Tome has magical powers! It can predict the future! It can summon Loyal Battle Monkeys! But most of all, it can GRANT WISHES!"

After ranting, Ecurt sat back down, but not without shoving the sword further into the stereo system with his foot.

Finally, when he finished calming down, Ecurt turned to PyrosNine. "Hey, that reminds me...was it really a good idea to just leave Mauve and Raiden over there? I mean, there was no telling what would happen. Who knows, Mauve might've gotten back her bishoujo powers and slapped ol' Thundagod Keitaro style."

[Darth SS]

Darth was still swimming after the merman when he heard a whirring behind him. He turned briefly, and screamed. There was a "phunk" sound as both Darth and Krylo were plastered on the windshield of the accursed yellow submarine.

Scared half to death, Darth pulled his revolver and started pistol whipping it, and had it cocked, ready to shoot.

[The Wizard Who Did It]

Sleep. The number one thing that anybody needs after a long exhausting day. Or casting a doomsday spell. The Wizard woke up in etenal darkness. Or, at least, everything around him was black. A void. He lookked around, and saw an old man walk up to him. He seemed to look at The Wizard with meaning, and the Wizard looked beyond him to a fiery light. He heard a great flapping sound, before he seemed to "wake up."
------------
The Wizard got up and noticed that he was not actually awake, just in his metaphysical plane. The bench with a big headed person was still there. A mallet on the table. A fiery tombstone on the other end. Three passage ways, arranged in a triangle, showed a library with some inerr light, a graveyard with some inner flame, and a cave like place with darkness all around. And, of course, the three walls over the doors spirally up to the heavens. There was also a glowing relic in the center with two impatient looking souls.

How long were you planning on being in a coma? How long was I in a coma. A good half hour. Mauve was watching over you, before she kicked you and moved on. That Blond Hair- Get over yourself.She helped you, she is no demon. Ah well, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and we barely survived. Some good had to come of this! Disregarding the complete ignorance in that statement, you might be right. So, what do you guys think of that vision? What are you talking about, oh almost-died one?Nevermind. Just a question, why haven't I woke up yet? Well... wait, he's right.

The three souls looked over at the glowing relic in the center, in asplit seond, The Wizard woke up.
------------------------
The Wizard had not been knocked out that long in a long time. He slowly got up and looked at his robes. They were black smiling to himself, the Wizard picked up a piece of paper on the ground and read.

Wizard,

We didn't want to risk dragging an unconscious man underwater. Sorry, I used my last transport potion to get you here, so you'll have to find your own way back to the cave if you wanna rejoin the 'fun.' Catch up with us if you can, once you've rejoined the Land of the Living.

~Mauve

PS- Check it out! For once, I actually HELPED you insted of setting you on fire! Crazy old world, isn't it?

Crazy world? What, did she think he hadn't forgotten. Whatever, catching up to them should be a piece of cake.
-------------
Raiden and Mauve were wondering what to do about Mauve's weakened state when a voice was heard across the area. It was slow, confident, and seemed to send goosebumps up the spine. Or maybe that was the cold water around them.

"Raiden, such a dramayic display of affection. Unfortunately, your alone time has to be... stopped."

The Wizard was standing close by, with his only change was he was wearing a black cloak. He raised his hand and holy light surrounded him. Muave was cured, and recovered a little. Since his display was finished, he started charging up a more powerful healing spell to bring Mauve back up to fighting capability.

"So, oh neutered God, go ahead and help your friends."

[Raiden]

(OOC: Neutered.....?:stressed: )

Knowing that Mauve was going to be healed, he let her off of his back. He placed his Lightning Gem back into his pocket.

"Alright then, Twiddy. You heal her, and meet back up with us."

Ruijin was about to swim off, then stopped.

"Oh, and Twiddy?"

There was almost a vortex of swirling water left in Ruijin's place. However, Twiddy didn't have time to notice that. A fist had connected with his face, and a loud cracking sound reverberated through the water. Air bubbles flew from Twiddy's body at the sudden impact. The fist then continued to follow through, pushing the wizard back through the water and connecting into the tunnel wall. The force between the stone wall and the Water Deity's fist increased in pressure, but stopped right before the head was about to crack.

"You EVER speak down to me like that again, and I'll go from God to Oni so fast you'll beg to have Mauve become your tormentor again. Whether in Water or Electric form, I am not someone to insult. I'm a Deity, and that's a damn respectful position back where I come from."

Ruijin pulled his fist back and looked at his handiwork. Blood floated around in the water aimlessly, and parts of Twiddy's face was squished.

"I think I made my point. See you after you're healed, Mauve."

With a kick and a twirl, Rujin began to zoom through the water, and was out of sight in less than a moment.

(OOC: Show of hands. Who DIDN'T see that coming?)

"That was a risk I'm willing to take." Pyros kept the ship going, till Raiden and Mauve were specks in the distance. "Sides, Raiden'd probably be mad at me for summoning hellspawn again. And now is not the time to draw Mauve further down the path of the burninating side of the force."

Suddenly, Darth SS and Krylo hit the window themselves. "What the hell?" Darth readied his gun and managed to avoid the ship's windshield wipers.

"Thank tod that window's bulletproof, But damn! Why must all the NPFer's decide to they can just get in the way of my hellship?"

"Fucki*crackle*cker's fu*crackle*ucked, fu*crackle*!" "Crac*crackle*ore shi*crackle*anny Com*crackle*nist Appleseed Din*crackle*erry!" The ship cursed, but damage to it's speakers had been done.

"Seriously Ecurt, It's just a hellish ship that runs on decaying souls. You don't need to get all upset about it."

Suijin turned to Pyros. "That ship has just killed one of your friends, sings terribly, and has just smashed into two other friends of yours. Why aren't you getting upset about it."

"Hey. I'm crazy! If I didn't do it, they'd be dissapointed."

[Raiden]

Still swimming at top speeds, Ruijin had caught up to the cursed yellow sub. He tapped on the window, letting them know that he was there. As he swam, he continuously did spins and twirls. Suijin let out a huff.

"Good to know that he's enjoying my element gem."

Ruijin pressed his face against the glass and made weird faces.

"Hilarious."

[The Wizard Who Did It]

I was this close to worrying you wouldn't do that. And then I noticed Raiden was acting too nice.

IC: The Wizard was prepared for the hit. He knew it was coming. The forced calm that Raiden only proved it. Raising a small shield to defend himself, the Wizard felt the blow connect with his head. Fact, in water it can be rather hard to gain leverage for a hit. Also, the greater resistance holds slows you down. Even with these facts and the minor shield spell, though, The Wizard was still taking the hit from a God. A Water God, at that, which just nulls all the water facts. But he still had that weak shield. For all the good it did him. He waited until Raiden was gone, and then noticed he couldn't move that well. Twitching his fingers, he healed himself using his now more powerful magic. That was worth it. "Don't speak down to me again?" "Where I come from Gods are treated with respect?" Clearly he had not talked to a Buddhist. Whatever, this little fiasco didn't matter. I just have to be a bit more careful from now on.

Wondering if there were some type of sharks in these waters to be attracted to the blood, the Wizard finished charging his healing spell. Releasing the magic at Mauve, The Wizard swam until he was right behind her (which took less than a quarter-second, of course) and said to her.

"Alright, now, Little Girl?"

[mauve]

[OC: Because taunting the Wizard is just so much fun.]

Mauve’s eyes narrowed as she recognized the Dark Wizard from before. Greeaaat. It had to be the one she punched not too long ago. She didn’t know how this particular form had taken over the Wizard’s body, but she wasn’t in the mood to ask questions.

“Oh yes,” she said, her voice tinged with dry sarcasm. “Thank you. I almost had to wield the unlimited elemental magic of a thunder god. Who knows what might have happened if I was given the power to be effective in battle? Thank you from saving me from that awful fate, my dear boy.” She folded her arms and frowned.

Mentally she began to wish that he had showed up about ten minutes ago. Yeah, she could picture him standing right there on the sea floor. Right where that bolt of lighting hit and blackened the stone.

She sighed haggardly and scratched her head. The Wizard HAD helped her out.

“I do have to thank you for the healing, though,” she said. “I was feeling pretty bad, and between you and me, Raiden really hit me hard back there. Even though I kinda deserved it.” She stopped, thinking. “Not that you’d know about that, of course, what with you not being there and all...”

“So I guess we’re even,” she continued. “I set you on fire for Christmas and then took care of your unconscious body, and you robbed me of my chance at unlimited thunder magic and then healed me. Well, unless you want to count the time you came into my private thoughts and I punched you in the face. But you know, other than that, we’re even.”

Not waiting to see his response, Mauve grinned and started swimming after the others.

“Come on then, Little Boy, we’re behind everyone else,” she called to him. “I’ll fill you in on what happened while you were out cold.”

[PyrosNine]

"Hmm...I suppose some of them want in..." Pyros looked at Raiden, who was busy making smushed faces in the window. Now, Pyros got a good look at the god's transformation into a water deity. Then he noticed something signficant.

"Hey Raiden! After all these years of threatening to spay me, you 1-uped me and had it done for yourself! Kudos!" Pyros pointed at Raiden's groin. Whether or not he could hear him didn't matter.

"It is the negating masculine effect of my jewel. A part of my soul is within there and adds to his feminine side." Suijin pointed out.

Pyros rubbed his chin. "Damn. I see the great power that your crystal possesses. He is now protected from the most devastating attack known to man...THE GROIN KICK!"

"*crackle*LL RIP HIM A *crackle*ssy if he does'n*crackle* get his*crackle*(Exple*crackle*moved. Involved Toastch*crackle*ackers, Tazm*crackle* devil, and YO MAM*crackle*YATCH!)" John Lennon whined.

[Raiden]

Ruijin saw Pyros pointed down to his groin, and looked.

".............."

He opened his mouth as if he were about to say something, then closed it again.

"........................."

He thought a bit, opened his mouth, but closed it again.

"................................................. ....."

He finally decided on something to say.

"I thought it was less crowded down there."
