The Maxima armor sat in it's barrier, waiting for something to happen. All of a sudden, the barrier dissappeared. Just like that. It stepped out and looked onto a nearby hill and saw Shamora. Then she was gone. It smiled and headed for Alamor, determined to capture him. It didn't take it long to catch up, and spotted him with the others that he was with before. It snuck through the bushes, right up behind Alamor, and pounced on him, latching onto his body. Alamor struggled, but in a few moments, was stopped. His eyes turned red, and went back to General Maximus once more. He let out an evil laugh, and looked around at the others.

Malisaro leaned against a tree trying to doze off again when he heard a slight comotion, he opened his eyes and looked about. He raised an eyebrow.
"Alamor?"
Alamor's eyes had gone red and he looked mad. Malisaro put on his claws incase of danger.
"Alamor! What the hell is going on?" he asked.

((Let me guess, the part 1 was getting a bit to long?))

((He's wearing the armor.))

Maximus let out a deep laugh. "I'm sorry but Alamor is gone for the moment!" He threw a fireball straight at Malisaro with a powerful arm.

Adrion Saw that this was going to hit Malisaro so he took his right hand and he had shot a flaming arrow right at the fireball and made the ball of fire hit a nearby tree which erupted into flames. "I guess you have to fight fire with fire." shrugged adrion as he then shot a pericing arrow at the armor which had knocked it down.

Taking a eye open, Skye saw a flaming fire demon..monstrous...and fighting Malisaro and Adrion...his intincts kicked Skye up...Skye took hold of his weapons already but the fire demon shot a fireball and the reminents had struck Skye in the head...the fire was burning....struggling to remain conciousness, Skye took his spear and threw it straight at the fire demon...

Malisaro drew his sword and shield.
"Well then, it looks like it's your fire" He cast his hand to the skies and thunder clapped above before reighning down in a great pillar striking behind Malisaro "against my lightning!"
Lightning sparked at the hilt of his sword and spread up the blade.
"Get out of my friend before I do you some serius damage" warned Malisaro.

Landing back Skye pulled his spear out from the back...it was still slimy with blood...ugh...damn Alamor...not the best timing.....Skye held his spear lance-like and pointed it at Maximus...

"Agreed...I'll spear this in you and blow you apart..." Skye threatened with no fear...well maybe a little....the smell of organs and bodies was getting into his brain...

((OOC:Chaotic and Reckless mode different from before though. You all will see why soon))


Umbra could not believe it, on one side her father, who also was very doubtable was standing on guard about to be split and fed to her lupine partner, and on another Alamor had become General Maximus once again. Her eyes began to grow dark and she gritted her teeth, "DIE MAXIMUS" she shouted as she chanted the blur spell. "DAE DOR RIE" Using her endurance and the blur spell she dodged the fireballs with lightning speed and jumped ramming her dagger into a small crevice in his armor where the arm and the chest plate meet.

"Umbra listen to me!" Kaos tried to talk to her but she turned and looked at him with a glare. "NO! YOU DIE!" she threw her chakram at the skeleton of her father but he moved and it hit the tree behind him embeding itself into the bark. Umbra could not take it all in, everything was going so fast. She was angry, but she could not disperse reality from the fantasy she was also seeing.

((OOC: And if you all were wondering yes my character has issues))

Skye was completely taken by surprise...Umbra went insane and struck everyting in her sight...feeling a sudden urge to do so, Skye lunged him self and tackled Umbra down...if she cannot be stopped...she'll end up killing all of them...

"Umbra....gah....sto...stop...STOP!!!" Skye was thrown back as Umbra kicked him back...grabbing his spear, Skye tried to fend Maximus away

(DAMM!!!! UMBRA AWESOME AVY!!"

((Hey Umbra can go just as mental as Malsiaro and beleive me he can go really mad))

"I WON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN" said Malisaro "I WILL NOT LET MY FRIENDS BE PICKED OFF ONE BY ONE. I SHALL DESTRYO YOU MAXIMUS, EVEN IF I DIE MYSELF"
He drew his arm back and lightning cracled round it. He threw it forewards and a bolt of lightning flashed towards Maximus.
"LET HIM GO!!!!!!"

Maximus chuckled at Malisaro. "If it is a fight you want, then it is a fight you'll get!" He drew his sword and flame enveloped the blade from the handle to the very tip. Then he also became enveloped by flames, and he let out a deep laugh. A roar was heard from the sky as a giant column of flame roared towards Malisaro.

Malisaro cast magical shield infront of him and the fire was deflected away from him.
"YOU DON'T THINK YOU CAN BEAT ME LIKE THAT?!" said Malisaro "WATCH AND LEARN, THIS IS AN ATTACK"
A blast of lightning fired from Malisaro towards Maxumus whilst a pillar of thunder fell down on top of Maximus.
"WHAT'S THE USE OF THAT ARMOUR OF YOURS, WHEN IT SHALL ONLY MAKE MY ATTACKS MORE PAINFUL THAN THEY ALREADY ARE?" said Malisaro "WHY DON'T YOU TAKE IT OFF?"

As everything was happening very quickly, Mad eye had been in the backround as he had turned into his dragon form and had flew up high enough so that he could get to high speed going back down to hit the armor. He let out a loud roar to the others warning them to get at least 25 feet away from the armor becuase he was going to hiut the armor. when he stopped raoring, he had stopped flapping his wings and went head first into the force of gravity and aim right for the armor which had not seen him or had no idea why every one was backing up from him. right when maximus had looked up, Mad eye hit him smack on the head at a great force driving him into the ground and leaving a crater like hole in the ground about 20 feet in all directions. maximus was knocked out from the blast. and mad eye was slowly turning back into his human form and crawling out of the pit. Right when he had crawled out of the hole, he passed out.

Malisaro took no notice of Mad-eye's warnings, he had gone completely insane and was more focused on killing anything living that even slightly resembled Maximus and was certainly in no position to listen to reason. He had drawn his blood sword and had ran at Maximus when mad-eye hit blasting Malisaro backwards, he hit the ground hard. For a second he lay there before his blood sword thudded into the ground an inch from his face. He leaped to his feet snatching up his swrod, his face was livid and devoid of sense of mercy. The first thing he saw when he leaped to his feet was mad-eye lying on the ground. He raised his hand and lightning crackled round it and shot towards mad eye.

((If you dived down on maximus then you'd have been caught in my attack before))

((Made eye, you're god modding. I need to approve of your hit, and I need to say I was knocked out.))

Maximus wearily emerged from the crater, and kneeled on the ground. He slowly stood up, and used his sword for balance so he didn't fall over. As he stood up, he wobbled a little bit, then stood up straight. "You.....are going.....to pay.....for that!!" He used Dark Regeneration, and picked up his sword, then pointed it at Malisaro. "I am tired of these games we play Malisaro! Now I am going to end this! since we can't settle this through magic, we shall see how good you are with a sword!!" He rushed at Malisaro, and slashed at him with vicious, powerful, and accurate blows.

Malisaro drew his shiled and raised it against Maximus' attacks.
"HAH, IF YOU CALL THAT A GAME THEN YOU JUST WAIT TO SEE MY FULL POWER!" he said "YOU SHALL NOT WANT TO LIVE ONCE YOU HAVE SEEN IT!"
He raised his blood sword slashing at Maximus, their swords clashed in mid air and Malisaro began to drive Maximus back using lightning reactions to great effect.

Skye helped parrying some of the blows Maximus was pounding against Malisaro...but enough was enough...Skye revolved to the back of Maximus and with a high leap he tried to plunge his two daggers into the neck of the armor...the flames of the armor was intense but Skye was holding on with pain.

Umbra got up from where she had landed when Skye threw her. The battle was still raging and she knew they had to do something, and soon. She pulled her chakram from the tree and looked at her father, "I'll deal with you in a moment, but for now," she gave a sharp whistle and took her chakram and dagger and got ready to attack when needed.

Skye was digging into the spaces in between the armor and Malisaro was doing hand to hand. But something kept her from focusing on the problem at hand, something in the back of her mind. She went to the verticle slice made in the soft bark of the tree and made another with her dagger. There was something she saw in the house.

She closed her eyes, put her finger on the markings and zoned out of the fight...She was walking the house, prepared for anything that might jump out at her. She put her hand on a bookcase and sighed, the battle against the Maximus Armor had made her tired and everyone was in the other room. All of the sudden the bookcase began to crack and she jumped back in time to aviod being struck by the falling books and charred wood. She coughed and after a while she saw the book. She took it out and flipped through and stopped on the page.

Umbra knew what had happened that day. She knew that her fathers journal was a lie. She now knew but would not allow herself to be taken by the amythest again, not yet at least. She turned to her father and shook her head, Your pathetic, honestly and truely pathetic. You did not think that with my ability to scry I would not know the past. You are truely a cynical being aren't you? I know everything now. That book. That journal. What you said. All lies..." she turned as her father grew angrier. She now knew the truth and he was not going to let her say what it was. He flew towards her but she spun, slashing his wing with her dagger. She then threw her chakram at him slicing him in two. He layed on the ground. CURSE YOU!!! She simply walked and towered over him with a smirk on her face. "Well all I will say is, rest in peices. and with that she smashed her fathers skull. Forever killing it.

"Maximus you are next." she said dagger and chakram ready.

The battle was starting to get a little difficult with Malisaro blocking his blows and skye being on his back. He then used his sword to hit Malisaro's sword away, then using the spikes on his knuckles, puched and stabbed Malisaro in the chest. He twisted the spikes, then kicked him away, and turned his attention to skye. He grabbed Skye by the arms and threw his down to the ground as hard as he could with a loud thud. He placed his boot ontop of Skye then turned to Umbra and said, "I'll deal with you later!"

Malisaro thudded on the groiund hard and slid a couple of metres clutching his chest, he got up slowly.
"IT'LL TAKE MORE THAN THAT TO BEAT ME!!!!!!" he yelled "MUCH MORE!!!!!!!!!"
A blue arau temporarily surrounded Malisaro healing him of his lighter wounds, then a black aura spread round him and his power grew. He ran at Maximus and threw out one of his arms, his sword flew into it and Malisaro aimed to slash Maximus across the face.

((Now you've done it, heehee))

Maximus saw the sword headed at him, sidestepped, and simply knocked it away. "Malisaro. You need to learn that you will never win! To end this, I'm taking it up to the next level!!" The ground started to rumble, and the spikes on his armor grew in size, a large spiked collar appeared behind his neck, and his armor grew sleeker. He spoke in an even deeper voice now. "You pathetic Half-Breed! You think you can beat me?! I was created by Hakuu himself, god of the Undead!!"

"DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME A HALF BREED!!!!!!!!" Yelled Malisaro at the top of his voice "DON'T EVEN TRY, I HAVE POWERS NOT EVEN YOU COULD WITHSTAND, AND I NEVER CARED TOO MUCH FOR GODS EITHER"
Malisaro raised his arm and great chuncks of ice fell from the sky impacting at a tremendous force making massive craters. Malisaro's eyes narrowed.
"I DON'T CARE IF I LIVE OR DIE, ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN THIS"
A crack spread from behind Malisaro, wound its way around him and went straight for Maximus.

Skye returning to the shadows was visible behind Malisaro again...

"Morika Valtsu Simal" a blue mist...then multiple copies of Skye appeared surrounding Maximus...

"Feel...the power of 10...." Skye shouted as the spell 'Simalucrum' was finished...

"DIE!"

The multiple copies all jumped and flew towards Maximus with daggers at ready as the quake Malisaro shot towards Maximus...

Umbra knew she would have to tell her friends what she knew, but decided now was not the time. She had to help Alamor. She looked over her shoulder at the fight and the crack that was headded her way. She jumped up and away but when the ice began to fall it made an explosion on the ground. When she landed she landed where a chunk of ice hit, she was blasted forward and began to tumble. She rolled untill she stopped...RIGHT UNDER GENERAL MAXIMUS.


((OOC: Sorry that was so short but I think at least Maximus/Alamor could do something with it.))

(Sorry if Mad eye was god modding alamor but he didn't get this at first. But i talked with him since hes in my class so it's ok now)

Adrion Then toook out his chakram from his sack and his swrod form his back and then threw the chakram hard at maximus's feet which had stuck into his armor as it hit him adrion ran up and rammed him as hard as he could even if the spikes killed him. a few bones broke and a couple of spikes went into adrions stomach and his chest making him stuck to maximus. Adrion did this so that he could save his friend from a death that alamor was going to do without knowing it. Before adrion passed out he struggled to say to the armor, "PLease.........alamor............I know you..... i know you could fight this armor off..... so do it... know that you are going to kill me and the others." and with that adrion passed out still stuck to maximus.

((This part takes place INSIDE the armor. Creepy huh?))

Alamor sat inside a barrier ontop of a pillar with his head down. Then he heard PLease.........alamor............I know you..... i know you could fight this armor off..... so do it... know that you are going to kill me and the others. He stood up and looked over at the demon which was Maximus in his true form. A hideous monster with one eye, no legs and no arms, and was attached to the walls of the armor. Alamor tried with all his might to break the barrier to stop Maximus with everything he had, but he couldn't and he sunk to the floor in shame, while the monster just laughed.


Back outside.....
Maximus was weighed down by the weight of Mad eye, and tried to get him off. he used all of his strength to push him off and he fell to the ground with a thud. But that was all they needed. The ice shards hit Maximus all over, making him shreek in pain. The cry was very high pitched, and would normally destroy a normal human's ear drums.

"YOU'RE FOR IT KNOW!!"
Malisaro summoned a great pillar of lightning from the sky, it hit the ground behind Malisaro and his entire body suddenly crackeld with lightning, it all spread down to both hands and he launched them both at Maximus blasting two strikes of lightning at his chest. Malisaro was just about to give a killer blow when something awakened in his mind after what Adrion had said.
"PLease.........alamor............I know you..... i know you could fight this armor off..... so do it... know that you are going to kill me and the others."
Malisaro had not only been about to destroy Maximus, but if he had continued like he had been, he would probably have destroyed Alamor aswell.
"Alamor is inside there" he said "I HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER WAY, THERE MUST BE ANOTHER WAY!"

Umbra got up and grunted. She hurt all over but got to her knees. Her dagger was embedded in her side when she fell and her chakram was embedded in the ground. Crimson blood trickled down her side and into the hard soil. She was only defended by her hands now, but she did not fight. Her eyes were dark, not like before but dark as in lost in a void. A soft downpour had started making her hair look ragady and soaked. She turned and looked at Maximus who was on the ground then looked down towards the muddy soil.

"Alamor...Alamor I know you can hear me. I know you fought Maximus off on your own once before and you won. But it will not happen again. This time you have your friends to help you win this. One cannot live without friends. One only exists. That is why Maximus needs you to live. He is a demon and can only exist. The same with the demons eye. Without it I only existed. I wandered the world with no home or anything else. she looked up at the rain and held her arms out to grab the drops of water. "The rain heals Alamor, it washes away the toxins in the soil and helps things grow. You are not alone any longer, we are here to help. Skye, Malisaro, Mad Eye, Adrion and.........I...we are...here to...help..........you. and with that she fell to the ground unconcious.

"FIGHT IT!!!"

Skye went over to Umbra and held her...preventing her from falling to the ground...

"Fight....fight..."

Skye was also feeling dizzy from the many blows he sustained...he slowly dragged Umbra and himself to a tree and just fell...

Malisaro was still standing, his hand dropped his swrod which fell with a clatter.
"I'm sorry Alamor" he said "I could have killed you"
He snapped back into reality, Alamor wasn't going to get out by Malisaro's consionce getting the better of him, he had to find a way to kill Maximus without killing Alamor.

Inside the Armor.....
Alamor had heard everything his friends had said, and felt a new boost of strength. They were right. He had fought off Maximus before, but with great difficulty. That monster wouldn't give up that easily. But neither would he. He stood up and called all of his strength, and started to pound the barrier with attacks. The monster then boomed, "That will get you nowhere fool!" But alamor started to feel the barrier weaken, and so did Maximus. "Oh no you don't!!" Using the barrier, Maximus hit Alamor with an electrical shock, but because the Barrier was so weak, it was inefective. Maximus started to panic, then with a large explosion, the barrier was broken. "NO!! YOU CAN'T!! I WON'T LET YOU!!!" Odd loooking vines shot towards Alamor attempting to grab him, but he simply cut them away with his sword. By now, Maximus was panicking beyond control.

Back outside.....
It was obvious Maximus was starting to panic. Alamor had broken loose of the barrier!!!! If he didn't do something fast, Alamor was going to kill him at his core! He looked at the other fighters and said, "I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL!!! And he started to change form again. He grew even taller, sprouted wings, and his claws extended even further. "I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED BY A BAND OF MORTALS!!!" He drew his sword, then took off into the air, and dove straight at everyone, with his sword ready to attack.

Malisaro looked up determined.
"I am not mortal" he said "my curse shall never let me die, and I won't die by the hand of you"
Malisaro became engulfed in flames and his sword flew back into his hand and aslo began to burn.
"This time I'll fight fire with fire" he said "and by the name of the high goddess I will not fail"
He leaped at Maximus yelling.
"Fly you fools!" He called to the rest "get out of here! This isn't going to be pretty"

Inside the Armor........
Alamor swung at the demon again, but was blasted back by a powerful energy attack from it. It roared in laughter as Alamor stood up slowly, and looked around for some source of the monster's power. Finally, he saw an odd looking orb he had never seen before, and dashed over to it. The Monster fired another energy attack at him, but it missed and ith a powerful blow, the orb was destroyed, and the Monster ceased his attacks. "No! NO! NO!!!!!" Alamor looked at the monster with a smile on his face and said, "Time's up scumbag!" He dashed at the monster who had a horrified look on it's face. He slashed at it with his sword, and landed on the ground. He stood back and saw rays of light emitting from the Monster. "YOU FOOL! DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?! NOW YOU'RE GOING TO DIE TO! THE OTHERS WILL HEAR ABOUT THIS!!!!" There was an explosion, and the monster was gone. For good. But then the entire room started to shake violently, and Alamor ran as fast as he could to get out of there.

Back outside.......
The armor started to shriek, and rays of light emitted from it. There was a bright flash and an explosion. After it all cleared, Alamor fell to the ground unconcious. But He looked different. It was as though he looked more slim, but stronger.

Malisaro had struck the armour in the chest before it exploded. He was b;lasted to the ground and hit it hard. his sword flew from his hand and clattered across the ground.
"Alamor?"
He got up and dashed over to him.
"Are you, alright?"

Alamor slowly opened his eyes to the sound of Malisaro's voice. He wearily got up onto his knees, still dizzy. He looked up at Malisaro and said, "My name is not Alamor anymore. I am Nexuss." He slowly stood up, and brushed himself off. He held his head until it stopped spinning then said, "What was going on out here?"

((OOC: This takes place in Umbras mind.))

Umbra was in the black void. She looked around knowing where she was,So you will accept me? a voice asked. Umbra nodded and winced as she got up, the dagger was still in her side."One cannot be alone in life. That I have learned. she said. The void began to grow brighter. "No one. That is a true thing. So Umbra are you ready? The void began to grow around Umbra slowly turning from black to red. Slowly it creeped up her legs and began to envelope her. She resisted only for a second. "That dream I had. What did it mean? What was the phrase that they said? she asked as it continued to cover her like a blanket. "There is no need to worry about that little Umbra. We are one now and that is what matters. the voice said as it slowly but painlessly pulled the dagger out and finished covering her. It glowed and then disappeared. "Call if you need me" the voice said as the void began to disapear and Umbra began to awaken.


((OOC: Back in reality))
Umbra was leaned on Skye. The slight drizzle turned into a downpour as it began to rain buckets. Her hair was weighted down by the water and she slowly began to stur. She slowly opened her eyes. The bones of her fathers skull were all over the place, Good. she thought as she began to try and get up. She heared Malisaro and Alamor talking, "My name is not Alamor anymore. I am Nexuss." she heard him say. She gave her half smile, "Nexuss. It will take some getting used to but it will do." she said. She grunted as she realized her dagger was on the ground. She moved Skye carefully as she could leaning him on the tree. She got up and limped towards Nexuss and Malisaro. She held out her hand to help him up. "Welcome back my friend." she said.

"Nexuss" said Malisaro "I think I prefer that name, what happened to you in there?"
Malisaro extingueshed his cloak of flames with a snap of the finger.
"Is Maximus gone for good?" he asked "or will he be back?"

"He's gone. I've been there before but i couldn't get the job done." said adrion. He had once been in the armor when he was fighting it in Estoland and it wasn't a good experince.

Helping Umbra back up, Skye looked at the 'deformed' Alamor...

"Damn...you look better....how are you Alamo---Nexxus..." Skye thought the new name was sudden but interesting...

Skye jumped a few trees and looked far...nothing seems to be going on...enemies aren't near....

"We might need to look for shelter...night is coming..."

"I second that aoskye." said adrion. he had been falling in and out of consicness and was fighting for a lost time that no one knows so he needed a great sleep. if he didn't agree to this he would drop face down in the dirt then and there.
