NPF Avatars: with hardcore finger pointing action!

[PyrosNine]

Pyros and Hylian met again on the battlefield. Hystians magic was just as random as Rhiya's and Arhras, except designed to just be tricky. But Pyros wasn't about to be tricked by a bookworm. Pyros pulled out his copy of come-come paradise, and floated off the ground like Hystian.

"See? Two can play this game Gaian." Pyros smirked, and with a wave of his hand, a hundred giant hamsterballs burst from the ground, and rolled towards the Gaian mod.

"Some say imitation is the best form of flattery, but that is neither a good imitation or flattery." Hylian calmly replied.

With a wave of his hand and chanting a few words, light daggers appeared before him in a circle, and shot out in all directions. In the air they maneuvered and swooped. They each intersected a hamsterball, and fazed them into nothing. And there were still some left. They shot towards Pyros as if from a celestial bow, and he immediately had to raise his flameshield.

Swiff! They cut straight through the shield and at Pyros. Pyros instinctively dodged within his own shield, the light daggers narrowly missed his flesh but came back again for another hit. Pyros swooped away, but their heat seeking nature followed him. Zap! A light dagger connected with Come-come paradise, destroying it. Pyros quickly dropped it to avoid being destroyed by association.

"Well, well, that is a nice attack. Almost caught me off guard. But..." PYros hurled his own fireballs as the oncoming daggers, and canceled them out.

Hystian was amused. "Very good. You are as good as they say. But not good enough. Or smart enough to know you're being toyed with."

"Okay...do tell. How am I being toyed with?" Pyros asked, anxious for another trick.

"I've been using these pathetic attacks only to distract you from an action being prepared while we 'fight', and will only inform you of it when it's too late for you to escape." Hystian said with a cool smile.

"And It's already too late?"

"Already by far too late."

Pyros heard it, and it was indeed too late for him to stop it. The sky rumbled, the wind whipped, and all became suddenly heavy. <SHIT! I forgot! Gaia is completely enclosed, and uses an artificial weather device!>

The sky turned a murky blue, despite it being night and the smoke clogging the sky. And ti was a moving blue, churning and moving as it fell. AS IT FELL.

Coming down atop Pyros was a wall of fire as big as Pyros, covering all of Gaia. There was no time to make an escape. All the fires he created would be extinguished. And if Pyros was hit, even he could be extinguished. Unless he could find some shelter!

Pyros instinctively dove for the ground, but found a magic barrier beneath him. He darted to the side and found another there. They had boxed him in. All was covered except the top, and the water had already closed off that escape. Pyros watched the water come, his eyes open wide.

Hylian watched eagerly.

[POS Industries]

Meanwhile.....

Pedro, having completed his recording, made his way through the corridors of the Isparalian, forging a very direct path. He had an idea. One that, if successful, would change the name of this game completely. All he needed to do was grab one last thing before he got started, and he had it. The modified wand was now fully charged and glowing brightly, the ship's reactor generated much more in the way of output than he had thought. If the shit hit the fan, POS would be ready.

The brief time he had spent on board the Isparalian had taught him a great deal, and having Rei digging around the ship's computer system didn't hurt. There was one last invention of Phoenix's that would be of use here. Of course, what to do afterward was the tricky part, but he'd cross that bridge when he came to it.

Entering one of the ship's various laboratories, he spied what he was looking for and walked up to the console before him. Entering in a set of coordinates, he set the machine to automatically activate in a matter of seconds. Hopping on to the pad, he stood ready for a brief moment before the Translocator came to life around him.

At that moment, Pedro felt every molecule in his body be suddenly ripped apart and dragged through seemingly every point in existance at once.....

******************************

"Already by far too late," the Gaian mod gloated as his plan came into fruition, the Fire Angel now trapped with a look of dire panic.

POS checked his watch. "Really? I tried to make it as soon as I could. Are you sure we couldn't fit in a quick meeting?"

[Raiden]

The link dug deep into his soul, trying to connect and subdue him. Sadly, there was someone playing with Raiden's soul at the moment, and could tell that someone was trying to get in.

Back in the main room, the man with the mask could see the strange reactions of the items he was playing with. Something was interfering with Raiden's soul. He picked up the orb and whispered into it.

Attack

That's the word that went through Raiden's mind. His eyes opened wider, and his stood up straight. His arms moved on their own, crossing before him.

"I..warned you...to run...away."

[PyrosNine]

The water came down, and flooded the land, falling on all in Gaia like a ton of bricks. Hystian/Hylian had protected himself from the force of the water by using another barrier. The ground became covered in an average 3 feet of water, flooding most major areas that were beneath water level. The battleground on which Pyros, Hystian, and now POS stood was now quite wet, and the fires long since quelled.

Water had long since been Pyros's weakness. Yes, he could drink water in a more normal form, he could even swim if he had to. But it would take forever for him to dry suitably enough to use his powers again. And when he had his powers, water hurt. And alot of water could snuff him out. Not permanently, but he wouldn't bother anyone ever again for a long time.

And it was alot of water that fell upon him. POS's arrival was a good thing, as it proved he at least would come if his allies were in danger, but he proved too late to be of much help.

Hystian ignored POS for the time being. He didn't appear to be a threat, and it was more important to make sure Pyros was dead. If he was as strong as they say, and even enough to fight against Raiden, then he was a top priority. He was sure that Pyros had attempted to merely toy with him, not wishing to waste undue energy instead of using it on what he percieved was the greatest enemy. But this plan had backfired on him. Hystian had used this against Pyros, taking advantage of the fire demons ego and attention span.

He made gaps in entraping barriers, and a pool's worth of water poured out of the containing area into the supersaturated ground. As the murky water poured away, something became visible. A large, blue orb floated in the container, rising above the water as it receded. When the water went completely away, the orb went clear.

The calm and collected Hystian couldn't help but show some emotion at this, a deep angry frown. "What?"

Suspended in the orb was Pyros, hands out, eyes shut. And in his hands, was a kitten. It was spectral in appearance, sitting calmly. It stared at Hystian with clear blue eyes with a silent fury. It's hair was on end though, and it gave the feeling that it was exerting something fierce.

Inside the barrier he had erected, Sub Pyros smiled. "Hello."

Hystian's fury was palpable. "What? How dare you? I have seen god mods in my day, but you push my limits! How? HOW! How can a fire god make a barrier to ward off water?"

"By being very, very old. And very, very wise." Sub Pyros replied. "My conciousness wished to save this, his third form, for the fight with Raiden, but it appears 'I' have no choice. I warn you, if you expect to fight the world reknowned PyrosNine, you are wrong. You get to fight ME."

Pyros suddenly transformed into Kitty Pyros, and Sub Pyros continued to float in front of him, like a shimmering reflection. Then, with a howl, both cats merged into one another. The orb became filled with light, and in the center of it Kitty Pyros stretched.

The cat legs stretched out and became longer, stronger legs. The paws grew fierce claws, and the kitty nose extended into a muzzle. The reddish brown fur that covered his body became a white with a red glow about it, and the cat's bishounen hair became the same color, and shorter. The tail stretched and split into nine, billowy tails that moved about majestically, almost floating of their own accord. The dress stretched out and pieces of it were seen to adorn each part of the body, as a red shimmering armor.

When the light faded, all that stood there now was a Large Ninetailed fox, bigger than a man.

"I am Kyuubi Pyros. I have the knowledge gained from eons of existence, from being bound to the very earth I walk upon. I have the power of the blue flame."
The ninetails suddenly went up at once, each lit with a large blue flame. The barrier surrounding Kyuubi Pyros increased in strength, and the magical barrier of Hystian's was destroyed at it's touch. Kyuubi Pyros floated gracefully onto the ground, the barrier pushing away all the water, giving the majestic beast dry land to step upon.

"Prepare for death." The kyuubi arched it's back, nine tails sticking up and glowing with blue flame. The fox's eyes opened. The piercing crystal blue eyes opened, and stared at Hystian.

[Darth SS]

Darth sighed, and grabbed Raiden's hair. He snapped Raiden forward and down, while lashing his leg out. The effect was Raiden slid across the ground from the kick to his face, and carved out a small trench. After rebounding off the wall towards Darth, he attempted a katana slice. Darth however, had started backflipping, and the slash missed completely. He bicycle kicked Raiden into the air.

"Mesden, your show now."

[The Wizard Who Did It]

The Dark Wizard looked as the Glorious Goddess tried to help her brother. This plan might just work. The God might even be able to redeem himself. I might even… nah. He sucks too much. He began to relax, when suddenly something went wrong. A powerful surge of magical energy, so strong that the Dark Wizard could feel it reverberate in his bones. The Thunder God had a pained look on his face, and managed to gasp out, "I..warned you...to run...away."

The Dark Wizard made a few funny expressions just then. A twitch of his cheek. Then his mouth dropping open in awe. Then another which could not be accurately described by any words I could possibly think of. His mind was in a similar confused state. But… she helped him. She worked some magic. He… the hell? Suddenly, a cold look of concentration froze onto the Black Cloaked One’s face. This … God. This… thing. This is why you can’t trust them. This is why they are improper masters of our universe. Weak willed, spineless things!

With a look of madness n his face, the Dark Wizard yelled at the beaten down God, “‘I warned you to run away?’” A manic glint entered his eye, “What, cause we should be scared of a little piss like you.” The space around the Dark One began to warp. “I mean, you don’t see us being the bitch of the newest freak with a wild scheme to control the world!” Shadows formed around the Dark Wizard, black as death and thick as smog. “You Gods make me sick. Acting like you’re masters of the universe, when you really can’t do shit!!”

With his last word, the Dark Wizard drove his foot into the ground. The shadows around him started to dull into an earthly brown. The shadows began to expand, racing across the ground toward the Thunder God. Darkness became Earth, vapor became rock. Stone walls rose out of the ground, scarring a deadly path to the NPF’s Former Friend, uncaring to who it struck along the way.
-----------------------------------------
The Light Wizard grimaced as the Dark Wizard gave his speech. Now was the time for action. Now was the time to draw blood. Now was the time to end this dark night. Light shined around the Light Wizard, like he was a glorious sun, the center of the universe. The pale white light slowly became green, as the White Wizard thrust out his hands.

The green light shined around the area like a wave. Slowly growing, expanding, filling the air with it’s majesty. Suddenly, the light gave form. It became more than energy. Vines, leaves, plants started to take the place of the vivid light. The plants grew, taking over the land. In seconds, the God of Lightning again found himself entangled in Thor’s Bane as the Stone wall slowly descended upon him.
----------------------------------------
The Wizard was not surprised that they had started the fight with such fervor. However, although they had their bloodlust, they were fighting smart. They may be pulling their punches now, but they had the sense to mana leak before Raiden got to make his first move. Now, the Brown Cloaked One’s main problem was going to be getting out of the way of the large colossal rocks trying to break his back. With a sigh he entered the ethereal realm, avoiding the attack completely.

The Wizard then noticed something interesting. There was a severed connection between the all encompassing light at his side and the decaying light before him. The connection was receding, as though trying to escape from something. That something was obvious. A thick thread of what could be called energy connected the Thunder God to something inside the temple. What that something was, it was obvious. The Wizard stepped back from the battle, ready to recruit people if they needed to take out the puppet master.

[Mesden]

"My show? No. Raiden is not at fault here. Something is controlling him and I see that link. Everytime he gives an order, I can feel it. Right before Raiden stood ready a faint connection lit up."

She looked on as the two wizards launched their attacks against the god.

"All I need is one more order. Just one more and I can find him..."

This message relayed to all the NPFers, her plan apparent. Get Raiden to have to do something he wouldn't normally do. Do that and she could find the mastermind behind this plot.

[Raiden]

Raiden's eyes looked up, filled with anger. His energy was flowing from the sockets more freely.

"I don't care who you think you are, you emo pissant. You talk big, and cast these big 'scary' spells, trying to hide what you really are. 'Oh, I wanna be a god!' Pathetic. Fucking...pathetic. You're nothing but a manifestation of a twisted mind that has an inferiority complex. You're nothing but the bitch of the bigger people, and you try to cover up the pain from your molestation attacks. You want to see power, little wizard?! Let me show you!"

Raiden's body began to disintegrate, the skin falling away to reveal pure energy beneath. Soon, there was nothing left of Raiden but a tall humanoid figure of pure energy with long white hair flowing down his back.

In an instant teleportation, he appeared in front of D Twiddy. His palm went up, shattering the wizard's nose. His hand went around back to his neck, and with a powerful slam down, smashed the wizard's face hard into the ground. He lifted the head up, and slammed it down again. And again. And again. He continued to smash the emo wizard's face into the ground until it was nothing but a pulsing and bleeding mass of shattered bones and ripped muscles. His energy arm wrapped several times around D Twiddy's neck, and pulled. There was a pleasing crack to him as the skull was separated from the spine. He continued to hold the neck, raising his foot on the back of the dark wizard and pushing. The spine itself snapped in three different places, severing the spinal cord.

He unwrapped his arm around the Dark Twiddy's neck, as the body crumpled to the ground. If Raiden still had a mouth, he'd smile.

Next time you feel like talking big to someone more powerful than you...remember that. Remember the pain, and how easily you were put down.

He looked up at the others. He was obviously God Raging now. D Twiddy was proof of that.

[Mesden]

"For fuck's sake Raiden, leave your damn comments to yourself."

The dead wizard body faded and Raiden could feel his entire presence fading into the spiritual realm.

"And I don't do your pissant seperating jobs, Raiden. You just sent that manifested spirit to my world. Now, you go all high and mighty with your form, and I'll do the same."

The sealing glyph appeared upon Mesden's head and with a clench of her fingers shattered into several shards of light.

From the point on her head came a cascading white light. Filling the entire area and breaching through every container. There wasn't one being that couldn't see it. Like a beacon of purity, the brightest point of light came from her eyes. The red glow now fading into a auriferous blaze.

Her arms slowly shed into the silhouettes of unbound power. Once they had fully been released, they clenched at the air and effulgence, causing a ripple to spread through the powerful aura.

Then came her crimson attire. The emanation burning away the old and carrying in a billowing cloak of white and blue that surrounded her and formed a brand new cover.

And finally, after the display of power, the illumination washed down and halted around the goddess before slowly fading into her lustrous form.

All this happened in an instant and the being now know by her real name, Mesia, had appeared.

She waved her hand and the Dark wizard phased back into reality, still unconscious, but alive and healed.

He was created from a soul and diminished into one. Altering souls is what I do Raiden. How hard do you think it was to do it to him? Now, in your rage will you kill another friend? Will you kill Darth? Will you kill Esheth? Will you kill me, Brother?

She pulled the now exuberantly glowing Spiritual Withering Blade from her back and held it outwards.

Come and kill your friends. Have fun doing it to. I will heal every one of them if I must, Raiden. I will not let the puppet you now are kill.

[Raiden]

Her words fell deaf on his ears. Nothing she said mattered to him now. God rage was full and total. Words mean nothing, especially those of a condascending nature.

Small trails of energy went from his body and seemed to disappear into the air. In reality, it was seeking out different forumers to drain them of their powers.

Somewhere, Mr. Viewtiful dropped to the ground as his time powers were taken. Silly Kitty grabbed her head as he ears and scythe disappeared. SithDarth malfunctioned as his chainsaw moved away from its holding place.

Raiden's body changed. A large V appeared on his forehead. Cat ears appeared on his head as a large scythe manifested itself in his right hand. In his left hand, Darth's light speed chainsaw was already activating.

Henshin a go-go, baby. MACH SPEED!

Raiden moved faster, then even faster. Faster than any of them could react. His scythe slashed out, knocking the Spiritual Withering Blade from his sister's hands. In a quick flash he went off to the next fighter, disarming and slicing.
