Dark Age Legends

[Zeros']

"Destroying the world...you would have the world destroyed? The world that betrayed you? The world that destroyed you, Alpha Retan?" he inquired from the old man.

[Dude Man]

Duilin nodded in agrement to Zeros' command.

"But how could he destroy the world, if the world allready destroied him?" Duilin added

[Haraldur]

"How would he destroy the world? Me. He made an agreement with my father Melkoth. Six weapons would be made to help him in his revenge. Unbeknownst to them, however, I was the power source, and I split into 4 at birth, with one disappearing a lot faster than the rest. They found out, and decided it was the perfect arrangement, especially since I am the force of nature. I wish to revenge myself."

[Dude Man]

"Yes, I'm aware you wish to revenge yourself, but what did the world do to you, to deserve such punnishment?" Duilin asks

[Haraldur]

"The world? I have nothing against the world. It is them who I intend to have my revenge against."

[Zeros']

"So, you wish to punish Alpha Retan for his crimes or do you want to punish your father, Melkoth?" said Zeros' towards Haraldur.

[Xorlak]

"Meh heh heh... One cannot build without tearing down first.  Destroying by force is a mess and would render the energy of the planet useless.  However..."

The old man looked straight at Haraldur.

"If one of the planet, were to decompose it entirely to its base state, the pure energy would be completely harvestable."

He smiled widely, uncovering gaping yellow teeth.

"It is unfortunate that the virus I implanted on Number Ten wasn't totally successful, or else you surely would have completed this task already.  But that is quite acceptable, because the main function-- the need to seek me out and thus forever tear a hole in this prison, was quite a success.  It was quite an easy emotion to program, the desire for vengeance...

"You have been very useful, child.  Go now and meet your destiny.  Reduce the rest of existance to nothing.  I shall be waiting..."

[Haraldur]

Haraldur turned to Zeros', "Both," he said.

He turned to Alpha Retan, "You are mistaken. The virus was totally eradicated from my system, by myself. You have no control over me. I suspect my father will get involved after I have finished you, but no matter he will die soon too. Prepare to die, Alpha Retan."

Haraldur clicked his fingers, and the portal behind him disappeared, leving the room completely cut off from the universe, much like his personal dimension.

"It is impossible for you to escape. I have the knowledge from my own universe, and I can control all others."

Haraldur opened his right fist, with a blue flame burning from it. He started to walk towards Alpha Retan.

[Zeros']

"Should we help Haraldur or leave him to his own devices?" he asked Duilin.

[Dude Man]

"Maybe we should help him. This Alpha Retan is sick, and I belive we should aid in ridding the world of him." Duilin said "But I fear if we do, we might kill him, and Haraldur's revenge would be failed, yet I don't know what would become of that..."

"Yet, I still don't think we should just sit here, like a bunch of losers. And we can be carefull..." Duilin nods "Yeah, lets. Something about this Alpha Retan guy makes me think that he is more then meets the eye. Yet, who isn't these days?"

Duilin's eyes glow bright yellow, he charges energy and aborbs heat and makes flame, the energy swirls around as Duilin crafts the energy ball...

[Trent]

The trio slid into ready stances, ready to fight, though holding off on summoning their weapons... Heck, could they even summon them here?

=== === ===
EW + ZW Ready!

[Xorlak]

A bright flash of light emanated from the old man.  But it didn't appear to do anything...

"Dear child, you have much to learn.  But that begs the question, can something artificial actually learn?"

He leaned forward on his cane with a smirk, as if anxiously awaiting Haraldur's attack.

----

The flash of light shot out of the portal at the bottom of the crater as it closed, slowing and becoming a human-esque shape, walking slowly on a cane, hunched over and weighed down by thick plates of black armor under a long black cape.  The real Alpha Retan nodded politely to Kami-Ryu, who was positioned nearby.

"Good day."

He began floating, slowly rising high above the frozen crater.  He closed his eyes as he read the planet...

"Let us see... only a few continents...  a mere 10-11% of the planet's total energy freed.  Rather unfortunate.  It is much more than I would have been able to extract if I had destroyed it myself, however, so I will consider this a partial success."

He brought the staff above his head, revealing a blood red ruby on the tip.  Small points of bright white light began to rise from the ice and wind, few at first, then increasing to several hundred thousand at a time...  They slowly flowed through the air and into the ruby, which glowed vigorously...

[Dude Man]

Duilin, spread his arms apart, and finished the demon energy ball. He narrowed his eyes, and tossed the energy ball at the Old Man.

-----

"Holy shit!" Rink yelled as Alpha Retan flue up into the air. "Is that...is that...him?" He asked, sounding frightened

[Haraldur]

Haraldur smiled at the flash, and grabbed the vision's arm. It would cause a force to pull the real figure down towards the Earth, a force he would have to fight.

He held out list left arm, touching the wall. He concentrated, causing a ripping sound to be heard. The dimension exploded out of a hole as it shrunk to nothing.

______________________________________________________________

Behind Alpha Retan, a large hole appeared in the air, where the entire contents of the now destroyed dimension exploded out with great speed, including the characters. At the  front was Haraldur charging forwards throwing a lightning bolt before him as he split in mid flight.

"You choose to be destroyed in this dimension. By doing that, you increase the probability of this world's destruction, as you would wish, but it makes no difference, for here, or anywhere else, I will destroy you."

He reassembled while still flying forward, throwing magma before him.

______________________________________________________________

The Great Prophet saw this and said, "Oh, shit."

He hides under a rock, and shields himself, in case of the worst.

[Zeros']

"(Editor: Censored)!" said Zeros' intelligently as he slid out of focus and reappeared near Ryu, who jumped in surprise.

"Thats Alpha Retan," he said as he his slid over towards Retan's figure, confirming Rink's question. Zeros' right hand glowed with a faint black aura as he watched for the right moment to strike Retan.
