"I have no idea how involved you were with the project that was me, or, at least, this manifestation of me. I was, however, under the control of the various Empires both of Melkoth and others, Gaian, Red, Blue, mind control, usually, but there were others, some even utilising non-intelligent variations. Of course, it seems you have no knowledge of this, and have assumed that I am the 'son' of Melkoth in a more or less conventional way. How wrong you are! The 'son' of Melkoth is actually older than the supposed 'father', but was bound by a complex spell, all those years ago. I was 'created' with direct intent behind the action. I was designed and programmed to do what would benefit the Empires. I am not human, nor a demon, nor any other type of creature, I am myself, a unique entity that you know nothing much of. If you want to know more, I suggest you ask Melkoth, but it is likely that he will die soon, my comrades have been... enhanced. And each moment I remove the restrictions of my 'creation', and there will come a time when, if you are still alive, you will finally see what I am, if you have not the wit to deduce it from other things I have said. A clue though, for if you survive this: I saw Gaian created<span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>(within me...)</span>, and similarly for hell, which came later as the work of some of your predescessors as they meddled with the fabric of... No, that might be too big a clue, probably too big already. Therefore you have no ecuse not to come to the right conclusion, unless your intelligence really is as weak as it seems."

Haraldur stood still as a strange spherical wave front seemed to come from within him, a wavefront of colours, some visible and some not: in a wave air particles were ionising and then releasing their energy as the electrons fell back into their ground states, some in visible light, others at lower and higher frequencies of radiation. Abodahon's body would be ripped into just ions and electrons by the ionising wave of energy if he did not move away.

As this was happening, a small invisible shielded dart came out of Haraldur's body on the side not facing Abodahon. It moved to be close behind the wavefront, and to the side of Abodahon. Any signature from it would be absolutely swamped and masked by that of the wavefront.

_____________________________________________________________________

As Melkoth and Durruti kept falling as the bright light, Durruti sent a telepathic message to Makhno: Where are you?

Do not worry, I will be there in a small while. When I say "now", you must shield yourself as strongly as you possibly can, else you will be destroyed.

After a few seconds, Durruti received a message: NOW!

He made a super strength shield that was shaped as a skin around his body, a difficult task, so that Melkoth would not be in any way protected. Just then the bright light of Durruti and Melkoth in battle was struck by a large green fireball containing Makhno. Durruti's shield was severely weakened, but he managed to move out of the way before it broke, by starting his movement just before the fireball struck. However, Melkoth, who was unaware, could not. He was smashed into the ground and flattened, leaving a crater the size of London as Melkoth's body then exploded, releasing all his energy in one burst, so none of his mass was there, all converted to energy. Durruti captured some of the blast energy, and analysed any signatures within, and then sent them telepathically to Haraldur.

______________________________________________________________________

Haraldur smiled at the news he received from Durruti. Melkoth's earthly form had been completely annihilated, and now for the coup de grace: the destruction of Melkoth himself, so he could never form again.

In front of Haraldur, 16 black lockets appeared, as if summoned from elsewhere, and to have travellered invisibly but made visible in Haraldur's aura.

"Interesting, so he was still exerting some influence on me obviously. It was obviously not mind control though, so what was it? Let us find out, Abodahon."

He grabbed all of the lockets in his two hands, and then started to squeeze. Light started to appear in the gaps between his fingers, and then...

Draven eclipsed the final mountain peak, flew over the declining slope, then blasted over the ocean.  The waves parted, repelled by the enormous blazing ball of fire rocketing through the sky...

Wrapped in flame, Draven extended his arms outwards to his sides.  He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but somehow... somehow he felt different...  Although he did get a short rest and a good meal in after battling that gauntlet of demons, he still expected to be somewhat worn out.  But on the contrary, he felt great...  Even his wound, which was quite crippling in the early morning hours, seemed much better.  No sense dwelling on it.  He shrugged the thought off.

The Dark Continent would appear on the horizon shortly.  This should prove... entertaining...

----

Ven and the knights slowly de-piled, and went about their business.

"Uh... yeah.  Hah..."

Ven straightened himself and adjusted his armor straps.  He turned after the bright red light left the window.

"So... you know him?"

Abodahon phased several yards to the left avoiding the wave completely.

Abodahon continues to charge energy, the spirals of energy keep spinning around his hand rapidly changing colour, and the space around him begins to burn in flame, and sparks and fire start spinning around him. "I understand completely what you are, a mental case, but soon you will be a corpse!"

He then narrowed his eyes giving Haraldur a glare as he watched him squeeze the lockets.

----

Duilin decided to just give in the first strike.

He took out his new mace and swung it in the air.

"Duilin?" Rink asked. He then looked a bit scared as he watched Duilin. "Oh no..."

Duilin then swung it forwards. He blasted energy through it, and fired two golden-coloured energy blasts that looked like strange fan blades, made of translucent bones. The blasts then flew towards Zeros' and Rink.

//They'd hit at the same time, so I'll allow Zeros' to block them or whatever.\\

//I see. It was to confusingly written, I read over it five times. Plus my brain was tired out from an exam today. But Abodahon would still be able to ghost away from the blast, like it has to stop somewhere. And if it doesn't then it would destroy the entire world!\\

//Sorry about the 1-day long absence.

Xenai got smacked in the back of the head with an energy blast. "Tsu, your sense of humor is balls!" He spins around. "You're not Tsu, though." He pointed at Nick. The others turned around then as well. "I got this, guys."

Xenai flew up ahead... Or behind, depending on how you look at it... everyone else.

He created a pretty wide shield of dark energy that protected his whole team from the bolts. "I don't see why you wanna fight us, but if you got a beef with us, I got a beef with you." He then turns the shield into an energy ball. He shoots it forward at Nick, at tremendous speed.

Zeros' let out a soft sigh and stared sadly at Duilin, as he whispered to Rink, "Leave this to me...", before he disappeared from sight, bringing Rink with him, the energy flying over him harmlessly, as he had ghosted downwards.

He let go of Rink and turned, to face Duilin, drawing out his sword, the sleek version of it's holy form coming to bear.

"There's no way I can stop this fight, is there, Duilin?" he asked, sounding more sad than anything.

---

Allen nodded and turned towards the knight, adjusting his glasses.

"Indeed I do... He is the ruler of the Crimson Empire, Draven. He is also my lord," he said.

Duilin glared. "Don't give me your bullshit. Like you've even cared about me. Valos told me everything; he told me that you'd kill me if I got to strong! You're afraid that I'll become even more powerful then you."

He then looked at Rink. "And you! Sure you've been teaching me some ways to use my magic, but it's never to progress even further! You're holding me back! I bet the only reason why you staid with me for five years is because Zeros' wanted you keep an eye on me!"

Duilin then glared back at Zeros'. "I'm with my father now, Abodahon. He gets me! He wants me to use my powers however I want them to; he's got big plans for the both of us! He wants to put me in his position when he gains the throne of hell, he'll bring peace there and I'll rule here! Maybe I'll clean up this shit hole of a planet and get rid of a few scumbags who keep messing it up, like Haraldur and Draven."

"I don't even see how you could trust Haraldur. Draven I can kind of understand, but Haraldur, is an insane freak, which preaches with his so-called 'revolution', but it's clearly just some continental take over.

"Oh an in fact I can see how you trust Draven, he's an ass, he orders raids on villages and tells them to kill people, and leaves one person to live. Not to mention a pile of other shit."

Rink frowned. "Duilin, we're your friends! We aren't even allied with Haraldur, and Draven never ordered those attacks on your village.... your father did." He said, as if just remembering it.

"Bullshit!" Duilin then swung his left hand around as if he was swinging a flail; suddenly a translucent image of a blood red coloured spinal cord attached to a skull appeared in his hand as he was spinning it. He then threw the demonic flail and then it flew towards Rink.

Rink ghosted a few feet away from the flail and it then turned around and then flew towards Zeros'.

Nick quickly pulled out the string (from earlier) made a few hand signs and yelled. "Spirit Wolf Blast!" A large wolf type blast came from the string and I sucked all of the energy from the ball. Making it twice the size big enough to abliborate the whole group. " Don't make me kill you so soon."

//Trent: just so you now theres a boulder flying towards Tsu.\\

//Like any other wave that spreads, its intensity reduces as it gets further away from its source: it spreads out. As it is a sphere and not a circle, the intensity is proportional to 1/4π(r squared), rather than 1/2πr.

I will post again later.//

(There's been a lot of comment-only posts lately.  Let's try to cut down on them a bit.)

After some time, the black jagged terrain that was the Dark Continent came into view.  It shortly spanned unendingly to the right and left, filling the horizon.  Draven crossed over land east of what was left of Redvik and touched down about a half mile inland, dispersing his aura of flame as his feet hit the rock.  The ground was smooth here for as far as the eye could see with no vegetation of any kind, due to recent lava flows.

He rubbed his chin with his right gloved hand, smirking his usual smirk.  Oh, how he wanted to crash the battle at Bandervil and blow all of his enemies away with a single Crimson Death Annihilation Attack...  they were all right there...  and he could do it too, having memorized the proper spell weavings...  But no... this way... would be better... he reassured himself.

He pushed his battle aura down below detectible levels once again... his blip would disappear off of the radar once more.  Under the new masking spell, he could operate at perhaps up to 10% his normal strength without breaking it.  Flying would put off too much energy, especially with his forceful method, so he broke off northeast on foot in a full sprint...  It wasn't a normal run, though.  Channeling energy into his legs, they moved faster and faster until they were but a blur, and he zipped across the rocky terrain and breakneck speed, leaving a trail of dust behind him...

----

Ven adjusted one of his gauntlets as he spoke with Allen.

"Well, I wouldn't have guessed.  You don't seem quite the type that I would expect to... associate with him.  Hmm, well, never mind.  Let's see about putting your reconstruction skills to use!"

(I'd actually like to put all of Tjed on break for a while, if you don't mind, in which case we can assume Allen helps with the reconstruction.  But we can keep going here if you'd rather keep Allen active.)

Cyan followed Fenier and his army onto a gaint boat. They set sail but for where. She sent a message to Calavous: "Where are you?" She asked. By that time they where out into open water not to far off shore.

---

Calavous recieved the message and with in a few seconds he sent a reply: "Ban...r....il." His message was blurry.

---

"What?" she asked her self outloud.

"What's that Cyan?" Asked Frenier.

"Errr....Nothing"

As the wave dissipated, the invisible dart that was near Abodahon moved from its position 15 centimetres away from Abodahon's side very fast towards Abodahon's kidney area. Its poison was potent: it was bile from the black crested duck: a very rare species of bird that lived in the far north. Its effects were explosive, literally. A small amount in the blood would cause all the fat, all the proteins and all the glycogen and glucose in th body to be respired at a huge rate, and without the energy being stored in ATP, so releasing it all at once in one blast.

Regardless of whether Abodahon is killed:

Hmmmm... I wonder what the energy release of this would be? Nice, it should wipe out this area save for the very strong... and I will be caught in the blast, taking full force. Ah, but I won't, for the effect on me will be strange indeed, hehe... Oh, wait... what is this?

As he continued to squeeze, the light was now blinding. It was nearing the tipping point...



When the stuff had died away, there was no trace of Haraldur there. Melkoth had been completely destroyed, and it would seem to any onlooker that he had taken his killer with him.

Obviously Abodahon would be caught in the blast...

______________________________________________________________________

Durruti and Makhno were blown down and fell flat on their backs by the blast, the energy burst having already been blocked by (and weakening) their sheilds, which were broken by the blast. When it was all over, they looked to see at the slowly rising mushroom cloud of this (again non-fission) explosion, and no trace of Haraldur's aura anywhere.

"He must have sacrified himself to rid the world of Melkoth..."

"But that is impossible!" interrupted Makhno, "Unless he was mistaken about that one thing..."

"It seems he must have been. What a waste, we have lost our best fighter. What do we do now?"

"We carry on regardless. It is what he would want us to do, but, more importantly, it is what we should do, for the sake of the people and the Revolution."

"Agreed, let us go."

They started to fly back towards Gief to tell Tesla the bad news...

_____________________________________________________________________

At Bandervil, those outside were burnt to a crisp and then vapourised, and then the blast came. The whole remainder of the fort was now rubble, with half the plateau now a landslide. A few badly burnt survivors limped out, but only a few. The surrounding forests were burning, and the surving few wolves were mostly on fire, and were running into the forest, setting the wood aflame (well, the stuff which was not already burning...), most dying, though a few made it to the river in time.

//Ein, where are you? You have not responded to Tesla yet!//

//Ein's been very busy lately. I'll make sure he posts soon.\\

Abodahon noticed something prick him, he then saw Haraldur squeeze the lockets, "What the fu-"

Abodahon was injected with the poison, and the blast seemed to blow him mostly apart.

Abodahon fell to the ground, his skin was burning off, and parts of his body were exploding. Due to his large size, it would take a long amount of time for him to die off.

"Damnit Haraldur.... you crazy bastard...." Abodahon started coughing out blood. "Duilin my son...it is not yet over. Finish off Zeros'!" He started to watch the fight of Zeros? and Abodahon, the last view his eyes would see?

----

A few parts of the keep remained, yet mostly it was now a burning pile of rubble. It would take even longer from them to fix it.

Darak pushed off a few rocks. He rubbed his eyes, and started limping upwards.

"Melkoth...Qunitis...are gone!" Darak said loudly. "Hey wait a second. That would leave me, with the power of the new empire...Or should I just give it up."

He saw Abodahon on the ground, in a pile of his own blood and guts, yet still alive.

"Holy shit...I'll just finish him off then..." Darak smirked. He picked up his axe from the ground, and started stepping towards Abodahon.

Suddenly, Valos appeared right in front of him. He laughed evilly and then shoved his large sword right into the chest of Darak. "Shiiikakaka!" Valos squawked. "DIE! DIE! DIE!" He pulled his sword out and then stabed him several more times. Darak was paralysed in his spot as he was being stabbed. Blood started gushing from him, and he then fell down onto Valos' sword. The man laid dead, impaled on Valos' sword.

Valos took a large bite out of Darak's neck, and swallowed what he caught in his mouth. He kicked the corpse off his sword, and walked back down into the dungeon, where screams of fright could be heard. He started licking his sword clean as he went downstairs.

//I hope Zeros' posts soon, we should try and wrap things up quickly.\\

Tsu looked to see a boulder coming toward him. He went to get rid of it, but- "Ray!" Aura had taken care of it for him. A thin beam of light shot forth from her finger and blew it to pieces. "Heh... Good job."
"Thank you!"

"Hey, Zion! Get your ass over here, now!" Zion was one step ahead, though, and had made it over to Xenai by the end of the sentence. They floated side by side, connecting their wrists together so that there would be a square sort of figure... Zion had the left and right, while Xenai had the top and bottom.

"Twilight Blast!" The large sparkling blacklight beam shot forth from their hands, and shot right through the large sphere. The energy from the sphere diffused away from the group. The Twilight Blast would shoot right through to Nick, though.
