"High General." Darak said. "I'll aboard the airship now, I'd rather not fly." He then looked at Steorra.

"You wanna come on the airship? You look like you could use a rest."

----

"Aw crap..." Duilin groaned. "I've got a bad feeling about this..." He then flapped his wings and jumped into the air, he was surrounded in a fiery aura and hovered into the air a bit and he held out his left arm. Rink then jumped to Duilin, and he grabbed on. Duilin then flew off towards Jayce's direction.

----

"God damnit." Valos snapped. "When the fuck is the action going to start! Is all they are going to do is just fly around. God this is boring..."

"Zion, Xenai! Try to keep up!"
"Sei-" Before Zion could say anything, Seijin had already taken off toward Jayce, and at an amazing speed. Zion and Xenai followed the fastest they could, but they still weren't as fast as Seijin.

"As it is now," said Zion as he started to speculate, "Seijin is only allowed to fight Jayce. Because he almost klilled Aura. But his point is a good one: Retan and Jayce died. These gods do have a code... But is there a loophole that allows him to fight someone dead on the living plane?"
"Who knows. We should prob'ly save our strength in case he can't."

--- --- ---

The last battle between Aura and Tsu was starting under the ocean. They didn't pay any mind to breathing. It seemed they didn't need to. Aura pointed her finger down at Tsu, who had already sunk deeper. She shot multiple beams of light at him. Tsu countered by sending his own to intersect them. The two warriors shot at each other, creating a sonic boom that resonated through the water. Their swords clashed with their owners' immense strength behind them, displacing the water around them in the shape of an extremely large sphere.

The auras around them were like fires. A translucent red, full of hatred, misery, despair, and most of all... Evil. Anti had given Aura the ability to fly. She didn't need her disc right now. The two were at a standoff in the air, inside the displaced sphere of water which could collapse in at any time. They glared at each other, not breaking eye contact. They both started at the same time, with the exact same attack. A horizontal slash, coming from their left sides. The swords deflected each other, and a melee exchange began at lightspeed. The water sphere then collapsed, at first engulfing the two warriors. However, a bubble of air plently large enough to contain the two warriors was intact, and filled by Anti's aura.

It was on. Now that their demons were revealed, this would be their last time.

The moment Jayce had let his guard down, Zeros' had already ghosted inside his defense, appearing right in front of hm and swinging his fist towards the Draken's face. His fist seemed blurred as it traveled faster than the speed of sound.

It seemed that he was MUCH faster and stronger than when Jayce had last fought him.

---

Allen shivered at all that was going on and went to stand by the crurrent non-combatants to watch the fight.

Steorra hesitated. The village she grew up in has never seen an airship, and she was relatively afraid of going in. Then again, she hasn't slept in nearly two days...
-"Lord Vincent, I... uh, and Darak, you know, I've never been on a machine of such caliber... I think I will depend on myself this time."
She has cast her spell on herself, with another pair of magnificent wings behind her. The wings alone lit up almost half of the room.
-"I understand, it's a bit noticible... It's the best I can do, though."
She turned around to Nick and his brother, her blonde dreadlocks blowing in the wind generated by the eminating energy.
-"Hey, you guys might want to tone it down - you wouldn't want this whole place to blow up now, do you? Also, Nick... Those clothes you're wearing right now... They're new. Do you always keep a wardrobe with you whenever you travel?"

--- --- ---

Ein flew a bit closer to Marshal, and telepathically questioned him about his strange comment.
-"What do you mean, something bad? How can you know?"
Just then, another dark figure appeared at the skyline, and dived towards Marshal. As it got closer, one could identify a man riding a wyvern. He flew in Marshal's direction. The man was Roland.
-"Hello, Marshal. Long time, no see", he said, in an unusually hollow voice.

//Remember, right now there's no way Marshal can tell he's a zombie just by looking at him...\\

--- --- ---

Kronos, already aware of the response from the messenger (as he was controlling it), directed his army to attack Ugran. The undead horde crawled closer, and began slaughtering everything in its sight...

//Argh, Haraldur, where are you?! I'm not going to hold back, sorry. In 3 posts, Ugran will be overrun by undeads unless you post.\\

"Roland!" Marshal said sounding surprised. "What are you doing here?"

"Just stopped by to say hello..." He replied

"Why?" Marshal seemed a bit confused. "You know that I've been banished, right?"

"Oh yes, I know..."

"Ein..." Marshal whispered. "Something doesn't seem right..."

Ein scoffed, although on the outside it seemed more like a click.
-"No shit? Some random guy just shows up out of nowhere, moreover, while we are moving. No one should even know we're here!
He backed up a little bit.
Roland, however, stayed at the same distance.
-"So, long-lost friend... How is your life?" Roland seemed to visibly flinch when he said "life".

Nick looked at Steorra "Yes I do" Charging 1/3 //For both//
" I shall go there by foot " . Nick ran out of the massive underground city sprinting faster than the speed of sound.

Calavous went into the airship his energy still growing if he stops now no one will survive the blast of energy " Lets head out. Send me in first I will whip out there first defences. //Are we attacking castle army Etc?//

//We are attacking a city, which is already partially-consumed by my army.\\

The undeads were digging deeper into Ugran. Fallen troops were revived, and slain enemies were converted. Defying every possible law of war, the army was getting bigger as it attacked...

/*I wish Xorlak would respond.
I guess I gotta step up all my characters a bit. It's really bad if Zeros' is substantially more powerful than a god.*/

One last clash of the swords would send Tsu and Aura backwards, away from each other, and up towards the surface. The two warriors were now miles away from each other, but could see each other very clearly. They took off toward each other at an insane speed, dashing acrosss the water, creating immense wakes behind them. They slashed at each other, clashed, and sprung away from each other, Tsu being the first to go behind his wake. It seemed as if in that instant, he was behind Aura as she went behind hers. A mighty upward kick was issued that would send her an immense distance into the air. Tsu flew up to intercept her in a matter of seconds. He spun around several times and slammed the flat-edged katana into her. She shot down into the ocean, creating a massive crater. Tsu sheathed his sword and pointed his palms down at her...

"Twilight Blast!!!"

A huge, sparkling blacklight ray shot down toward Aura. She had hit a large hillside in the water, and was lying there until she realized what massive damage the slash had done. She got to her feet just in time to see the Twilight Blast slam into her.

But they both knew it wasn't yet over.

"Well...actually it's been okay. I've been doing some revolutionary work with the Aspyes." Marshal replied

"Really and how is that working out for you?" Roland replied smiling

"Umm...okay...Seriously, why are you here?" Marshal asked in a determined and stern voice.

-"Well, actually, it's because the Elder seems to be having trouble in the area of..." Roland paused. "High-energy demonology. As you can surely remember, no one there was better at it than you. The Elder is getting old, and can no longer do some things as good as he used to."
He rewarded Marshal with an icy cold look. His eyes were somewhat glossy, but exceptionally calm.
-"Now... Are you ready to come back? All your past... mistakes were forgiven. You are once more welcome in the temple."

(Job + long commute = one post per day for me.  Heh...)

(Clarification:  Jayce and Retan never died.  They just got sucked into another dimension.)

----

Jayce's left hand flashed in front of his face, smacking into Zeros' fist.  His forward motion stopped completely, the abruptness of the two motions colliding sending a black shockwave outward in a diagonal circle, blasting apart a gigantic rip in the forest of Romme below, leaving a deep cut chasm in the earth...

The vile Draken had apparently increased his power output to match...

"Oh, so you do want to play... good, good...  The rules are very simple..."

There was a flash of darkness...  Blackness seemed to exude from the sky above and melt down towards the horizon...  The figure of Jayce that caught Zeros' punch slowly disintegrated into smoke after four translucent images of the dark man quickly flew from it, two above Zeros' and two below...

"I get one point for every human I kill... You get one point for every human you stop me from killing...  If you beat me, I let you live... for a while... Sound like fun?"

The four images flew wildly past Zeros' past the opposite shore of Romme and over the ocean to the northeast...  Two plunked underwater with huge splashes and the other two spun around each other distantly as they rocketed skyward...

The mountains of Tjed were on the horizon...

----

Vinent placed his left hand on Steorra's shoulder.

"Listen, m'lady.  These are the most technologically advanced warships on the planet.  We've mages to cast protective barriers around the whole ship as well as backup the magical core-- It's a whole lot safer to be on board then flying around outside.  Look, you can ride on the deck in the open air if you want, and take off using your wings at anytime if you feel the need."

He turned to the others, noting the preparations were complete.  A blinding light filled the whole chamber as the roof slowly opened, flooding the underground dock with daylight, even though the sky was overcast.

"It's time.  Let's go!"

He walked up the ramp, following the narrow passageway to the well windowed control room.  Stragglers rushed on board as the engines of the three behemoth ships hummed louder and louder.

----

(I'm sure something has come up with Haraldur and he's busy.  However the story does need to move forward.  Give him at the very least until Wednesday.  And let's see some NPC spirit while he's gone, people!)

The revolutionaries were somewhat disillusioned when the undead army suddenly attacked, without their main leaders present and all.  The initial terror soon boiled into a war fervor one more, as the black flags were raised high once again.

"Vive la revolution!!!"

The well armed revolutionaries charged the undead gallantly, hacking many down on the spot, but the effectiveness was waned by the undead's high endurance.  

A group of mages burst on the scene sending waves of flame into the mass and burning several zombies.

"Fire!  Use fire!"

//Right, Wednesday it is. Also, I don't know what you meant by spirit, Xorlak, but I suppose you meant going into more description?\\

The burnt zombies collapsed on the ground, but got up again. The mages casted another wave of destructive flames, this time burning the zombies to cinders.

Meanwhile, Kronos quietly cursed. It took much more time to repair burned undeads, so he didn't even bother. Instead, he just arose a few new creatures on the same spot the dead ones fell. The defenders need not know the weaknesses of his troops...

The mages were amazed as new troopers arose from the ashes of the old ones. They were ever so much more amazed by the four enormous creatures coming in from the direction of the army. The bug-tank, ogre-dragon and the Gorvern got to their usual businesses - crushing larger better-armed infrantry, demolishing the city's defences, among other things. The Marcher, however, strode over to the bigger concentrations of enemy troops. Their swords were quite ineffective against the bleached bones the creature's legs consisted of.

The resurrected Blue Minotaur summoners at the top got to work. They each casted a spell into the Master Crystal also housed inside the Marcher. After every set of incantations, the Crystal shone a beam down on the ground. The illuminated place soon brought about a creature - a wyvern, a dragon whelp, an ogre... Even a minotaur, very occasionally. The newly-spawned beasts fiercely charged at the enemy.

Kronos, however, was not satisfied. The action was moving... It was not moving fast enough. Time to bring in the new instrument of war.

Back at the battlefield, a truly frightening phenomenon could be observed. At the very line of horizon, the skies were getting darker, concealing a something that was flying in the middle of the event. People were pointing and staring. The scariest thing, however, was that the thing was approaching. People could now vaguely make it out.

It looked like a blue dragon... A very deformed blue dragon. It was about 65% decayed. Loose leathery skin on the wings miraculously supported the abomination, as it dove right to the middle of the army. It opened its mouth, filling whatever was left of its lungs with air, and contracted them...

It wasn't fire that erupted from its mouth. In fact, it was quite the opposite: a concentrated icy mist froze about a dozen soldiers in place. Ground-bound zombies were now effortlessly shattering the defenceless troops.

//I can't quite control both sides of the fight - if not Haraldur, somebody please take control of the Ugran army. I just can't get myself to go against my own side...\\

--- --- ---

Steorra smiled at Vincent's proposition.

-"Thank you, it is indeed a generous offer. Especially considering the fact that I've just joined your side. I mean, judging by the fact that, according to you, these ships of air are the most advanced on Gaian, I suspect that we are in a secret compound. Chances are you wouldn't let just anyone in here. I do not know how you do it, my friend, but you've certainly won my trust. Oh, and of course, I am on your side", she quickly mended. "Well, enough talk, I suppose... Darak, I'll see you soon, I hope."

She flew up through the hangar bay doors, and fluttered in the air far above the ground. Her wings could still be recognized, even in broad daylight.

// Zeros' is both a god and a demon, althought half of each. He's also been the guarding Gaian from extreme threats for millions of years. So long, in fact, he can't remember all of it. He barely remembers a hundred years ago.

Plus... Look at Haraldur. He's basically equiv. to a God. \\

Zeros' cursed. Loud.

"FUCK!" he exclaimed and cursed some unpleasent words in different languages, most inillegable unless you had a vast understanding of demonic and god culture.

"Damnit..." he growled and looked at his fist, clenching his scarred fist tightly, so that rivets of blood started to flow. "They're heading to Tjed! We have to hurry!" he growled again, as his anger started to take over, his hair growing much darker, as his wings started to warp from feathery into leathery type wings with a red, shimmering glaze. His eyes also turned from emerald green to a dark red. If you could see inside his mouth, his front inscisors started to enlongate slightly, almost into psuedo-fangs. His hair also shortened from it's long state to a short, almost spikey hair-do.

He muscles started to bulge, as he crouched and jumped. The ship dipped down, as he jumped off and flapped his mighty wings once, his wing span now reaching 25 feet from tip to tip, as he accelerated fast, using his ki to push him past the sound barrier several times at once. His trenchcoat came off in mid-jump, revealing his heavily scarred and battered body, now only having his pants, boots and sword on.

Soon, he was speeding off towards Tjed, wanting to get there before Jayce, much faster than he had gone from where he was with Valos to the ship.

---

Allen tried to keep his nerves and blinked at the abruptness.

"What th--" he was cut off, as he felt the ship dip. He lost his balance and stumbled, landing on his butt.

"What the hell?" he said, confused as to what just happened.

All he understood was that Jayce wanted to kill... And it seems there was a town nearby, just ripe for the picking...

Deciding he wasn't safe here, he took out a small, metal disk from his pack and threw it off the ship. He smiled, adjusted his glasses and cracked his neck. He started to run, but stopped, as Zeros' coat landed nearby. He shrugged and picked up the coat, before jumping off the ship.

A few moments later, Allen could be seen speeding off into the direction of Tjed, although MUCH, MUCH slower.

"Aw shit!" Rink exclaimed. "Hurry it up Duilin!"

"I knew we have going to do something to Tjed!" Duilin then began to fly increasingly faster. Not as fast as Zeros', he was probably going to fast for anybody to keep up.

----

Marshal narrowed his eyes. He didn't believe him, but he was still interested in what Roland intended. Marshal, being a man who craves adventure, then smiles. "Lead the way Roland..."

"Excellent..." Roland grinned. "Let us go..."

----

"The dragon! Attack the dragon!" One Asype mage exclaimed. They began to quickly shoot fireballs at the large zombie dragon. The large creature then turned its attention to it.

As the zombies that were marching in began to smash at the frozen combatants, several trap doors from the ground snapped up, with a Black Guard armed with a machinegun inside, they began to gun down the ground-bound zombies.
