The officer led Ein and Marshall to a larger pyramidic structure, this one looking more like a temple than an office. Inside, the first thing noticed was a huge banner of the Kandarin symbol, spanning the entire wall. Even the pentagram inside the bird looked more menacing than usual.

Below that was another large symbol, the same stylized watch as seen on the officer. It looked like a golden spiral with three coils, and two arrows extending from the middle. The whole thing seemed to suggest organization.

The officer dug in some ancient-looking papers, finally selecting one. He quickly read it.

-"Right... Amaya... yes, we have one like that. Amaya Ryleh, correct?"

-"That's her."

-"Her adress: Kandarin. Sct. 8. Psg. 3. Hs. Nomer 9. Amaya Ryleh. Here, let me write that down for you."

He scirbbled something down on a piece of paper, and handed it to Ein.



Trying to hide his confusion, Ein left the building.

Nick looked at the swords. "Very nice!" he picked them up and sheathed one. He swung the other around, tring to get used to the sleak style. "Thanks old man." nick said as he started to leave once again. He seathed the other sword. "Hmm about that prision break....should i start killing those escapies or leave them? Maybe killing." he said as he started to walk towards the prison.

Marshall followed Ein, he kept mostly silent. He watched the officer hand Ein the sheet of paper, and followed Ein outside. "What does it say? Do you know?" Marshall wispered.

"That goop you just made come out... Is that what's being converted into this deadly energy?" asked Zion as they continued to back away.
"Maybe... But Zero Weapon's over there now."
"Yeah, but I still have Eternity Weapon, Tsu still has Shin Kuon Yaiba, and Aura has her two scimitars."

Zion pulled Shin Kuon Yaiba out of Tsu's scabbard, seeing as how he was a little occupied, and shook it a bit, trying to make it sharp. It didn't obey, but Tsu glanced at it and it became sharp. He then unsheathed Eternity Weapon, as Aura unsheathed her scimitars.

"That's four attacks we can use against him. We'll be unarmed afterwards, but what else can we do? We might as well hit him with them all at once! Let's go!"

Zion threw Eternity Weapon dart-styled, like Xenai did. However, Shin Kuon Yaiba and the scimitars were curved, and couldn't be thrown like that. Thus, they were thrown Strike Raid-style, just spinning toward the converter.

Nick saw the same men talking. "Hey where's this jail break?" he asked.

"The jail in Undecimus....why?" the man asked after Nick had already left the scene.

Nick ran around trying to find the jail. He say zombies and orcs flooding into this huge building. He looked at the gatling guns. "Uh...They got this under control..." He looked around seeing any escapies. "Hmm....nothing unusaul." He just watched how the Kandarin army worked.

//Burton: Kandarin, not Kardarin. Razz

Zeros' and Trent: Just to clear up, the Converter is hollow inside. It's basically a chamber which converts biomatter that falls in it into energy. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear on that.\\

Ein whispered back.

-"I've NO idea... but I think I see someone who does."

He hurried over to a passer-by.

-"The Lord pervails! Could you tell me wh-- Amaya?!"

He instantly recognized the person as the one whom he met earlier. Looks like he didn't have to go to annoying lengths to find out the message, after all.

-"Listen, umm, do you know a place where I and my friend there can stay? I'll explain everything, I promise."

-"You can stay at my home. However, I'd like that explamation now, if you will."

--- --- ---

Rink's rock hit Horus in the converter plate, bouncing off it. The rock made a hollow clunk, and dropped down to the ground.

Just as the energy in the Converter was completely vented, the four weapons struck it. The outer plating didn't begin to come back together yet, so the swords fell into the fissures in the engine. The plates came back together, locking them inside.

Horus realized this, and was not too happy. Almost all of the energy was vented, except in his left arm. He closed up the plates of armour on the rest of his body. However, he reopened the Converter, and took the blades out with his free hand. He threw them behind next to the zero weapon.

Just then, all of the energy was released. It was like nothing words could describe - every single living thing inside the field began to waver before one's eyes, as if made of rubber, and then rush down in a pool of dark liquid. The cloud remained at its present spot, and would still retain its effect for some time before dissipating.

Horus locked down the rest of his armour, and kneeled before the weapons in front of him. He took his maul and carefully put it on top, just so that the hammer part completely covered the weapons (just in case if nobody read Horus' wiki page, the maul is around as big as a person). His eyes slowly dimmed, and he shut himself down. Time for the repair cycle.

Inside the gargantuan mechanism, thousands of smaller spider-like machines were released. They were patching up the damage dealt by the weapons, as well as emitting a very weak energy pulse that rid Horus of Aegidius' attack. A few were crawling out of the hole where Zeros' vacuum blade hit. They gathered the sliced armour plates lying next to him, and fused them back into their original positions, right after going back inside Horus.

There was still some damage to be repaired inside. Horus remained inactive.

--- --- ---

The prisoners beat down the armed apprehension squad beyond the point of recognition. Kronos got tired of resurrecting them over and over, so he just left them rot. After all, the prisoners were simply crawling forward to their own deaths.

The jailbreak was already at the front gates. They were securely locked.

-"Get me somethin' heavy!"

-"Git it youself!!"

-"Hey, if you don' wanna rot down here, you'd bett'r be a team play'r! That log there looks good."

The prisoners took a giant wooden pole out of a pile of like poles, and began battering down the gates.

-"3, 2, 1... *CRASH* 3, 2, 1... *CRASH*"

The large gothic-looking doors crashed open. The prisoners froze.

Outside, a huge legion of orcs was waiting, with five Gattling guns positioned at the gate enterance. They began spinning, raining death down onto the prisoners.

Whoever tried to run was quickly apprehended by their own friends, brought back to life. No one survived.

Nick watched as the prisoners were aprehended. "Heh what stupid idiots..." Nick looked around tring to figure out where everything was on Kandarin. He ran back to the courtyard.  

//Dm: yes, yes, i assumed Kronos was close by becasue he was resurecting the people.....didn'tthink he'd have x-ray vision.

"Ahh, dammit. That thing's big and it's covering our weapons. Maybe we could all push the thing off?"
"Hmmm..." Zion pondered it. "Tsu, step around and see if the weapons are in this fog."
"Uhm.... Zion..." Attention was brought to the Rasengan Chidori left in his hand.
"What the...!?" It was starting to burn his hand. It would cause too much damage if he held onto it for much longer.
"I need to use it or lose it."
"Aw, man..." Zion started to circle around the fog, staying at a safe distance, trying to see which areas were uncovered, if there were any. "Come on, you two." Tsu and Aura followed him. Xenai stood and did nothing.

//I love how fast Nick can move, he must also have very good eyesight, judging Kronos is in the courtyard of his palace.\\

Aegidius looked at Duilin. "It seems that he'll soon be vulnerable to magic attacks soon. We'll have to wait for the fog to clear up." He then noticed a few of the others flying around. "Hmm, perhaps they are looking for a weak point. I will help, you...keep conducting your electricity..."

Duilin hovered over to Xenai, seeing as he was doing nothing. He kept a good eye on the machine, however and was still charging electricity in his hand and his mace. He turned his head, and gave a joking look at him. "Hey, dare you to touch my mace..."

-- -- --

Marshall's eyebrows rose, as soon as Amaya asked for an explanation. "Oh...well...you see..." He then gently nudged Ein.

The others were still checking for open areas on the fog.

Xenai chuckled. "The thought is so exciting it makes all my hair stand on end."

Zeros' frowned when he saw this. He crossed his arms over his chest and thought for a moment... He needed to find out exactly how to get through that armor.

Zeros' crossed his arm over his chest and swung down, releasing another vaccum blade of energy. As that one was flying, he did it again and again, making five of the vaccum blades in succession and spread apart some.

\"Way up high or down low...I\'ll go wherever you will go.\"

\"Runaway with my love.\"

In your heart and mind, I\'ll stay with you all of time...

Horus had his armour locked down. The blades hit the armour, without doing much (previously, the armour was deployed, so it was easy to slice off - now it's completely covering him, so there aren't any weak points).
The repair cycle continued. Almost all systems were back up and running again. Meanwhile, the black lightning cannon began to charge up, emitting a very low hum...

//I am WAY too tired to update Ein, I'll do it in the morning. Oh, by the way: Great Overlord and Our Moderating Savior DM, do you think i'm going a bit overboard with the machinery?\\

//Well, maybe not. Technology is supposed to be low, but from this it looks like it's all powered by magic, and frankly comparing your character to some others, I would not find it that you're going overboard. But don't push it any further (Heh). Great now I'm talking like Xorlak.\\

Duilin smirked. "Well, it wouldn't be smart if you did. I don't know how much power is in this right now. It's kind of numbing my hand, but once that fog of light clears up, I'm going to blast so much lightning into him he won't know what's what."

"You sure, it will work?" Rink asked.

"Well it got him pissed off before so why don't we really make him mad. He had to have been angry for a reason."

"I guess so." Rink replied.

Aegidius noticed that the fog was clearing up but it would take a little wile for it to clear. He also saw that it was charging another blast. "Hah, it seems that he is going to prepare another blast. Not to worry, I will fully handle this."

Aegidius, still with his shield floated in front of the machine. "Come on, you clunky oaf, give me all you've got!"

//Nope, you're nothing like Xorlak. His spelling and grammar skills are better than yours. Razz\\

Horus was fully repaired. He powered up again, the red glow in his eyes returning back to normal. All the smaller repair machines hid back into sockets inside Horus. He looked up at Aegidius, but did nothing. The cannon continued charging, while the cloud was slowly dissipating - but it was still lethal for everyone who stepped inside.

--- --- ---

Ein was walking along with Amaya.

-"Well, um, you see... I'm not actually from Kandarin. I came here to rescue my friend, Marshall." He pointed at Marshall. "He was captured by Kronos' forces. I couldn't just leave him to be dissected by the Sovereignty, so I came here. I'm guessing by this point you hate me..."

Of all the things one would expect her to do, Amaya smiled.

-"Quite the contrary. It is a noble thing you are doing, and trust me: not everyone fully embraces the truth. The ones that do, however, do it for a very good reason: it is very hard to escape the Lord. He is ubiquitous. He is everywhere. He is, as some put it, the Alpha and the Omega."

Ein was somewhat taken aback by that comment. Was she with him or against him?

-"My own loyalty lies with the Aspyes and Haraldur. Kronos seems to really dislike them."

-"Aspye ideology is the complete opposite of Kandarin Sovereignty. They are like dark and light: they cannot co-exist together."

-"So Kronos will - hunh!"

Amaya elbowed Ein in the stomach.

-"Don't say the Lord's name!! If you are heard, you will be executed!"

Ein groaned.

-"Ugh, alright... so is this your house?"

They came up to a rather average-looking building, just like the rest of the pyramids on the street.

-"Yes. Hurry inside."

Nick walked up to Kronos. "Sir, When do we depart?" he asked while tring to catch his breath.

Frenier and his army climbed out of the crater. The spoted the group fights. "Charge!" Frenier said. The army ran towards Horus and everyone else. Frenier spoted Zeros'. He flew up into the sky and dived towards his posisition.
