"You're nice and all, but it IS in fact a battle"

::Creating a few lightning bolts, he fires them right at the Eos/Riana mix::

"How dare you try to impersonate one of my dear leaders?!?!"

:: Seeing Drag going towards a cave, she was suddenly in the air and she followed him. The Dark Faerie saw the idiotic GoL slouching and after the lightning bolts hit Eos, Desire grabbed her neck with both hands. She lifted her into the air and flew out of the cave. Out of veiw from the astral form, Desire flew over a large gap in the earth and dropped Eos. She shot multiple eldritch bolts, speeding up the fall ::

" That wasent very nice "

:: Kevin eyed Desire his new admantium body suit armor summoned around him fitting like a second skin and allowing him full movement the Nexus's eyes narrowed onto the Dark Fairie as he trapped her in a Hydrobubble, the watery bubble filled with water drowning her as the bubble with her in it dropped towards the gap where Eos had been seconds before ::

Astral

:: Riana/Eos' face is filled with fear as both Desire and Drag go to her hiding place. Then, a jolt hits her, and she realizes she's been hit by a lightning bolt of some sort. She feels fizzles to her left and right, and realizes also that some missed her. Her astral disappears.::

Real

:: Lifting her head, she finds herself in great agony, and being held by Desire. Beginning the transformation back to her normal form, Eos' eyes glimmer insanely as the MoE drops her and then sends Elderitch bolts through the air. Eos twists around them, but her insanity keeps her focused on one thing at a time. Then, her body stops falling. Eos immediately knows she hasn't levitated herself. Looking up, she sees a familiar face, but she can't place a name to it. She begins to levitate, and sets herself down on a pillar. Then, she sees the one who helped her fallng over the side. A glimmer of memory.::

"Kevin!"

:: She waves her hands and freezes him in mid-air, stopping his descent to the abyss. Levitating to him, she raises a deflective shield and places it around both of them. Grabbing onto his body, she carries them both to a pillar. Eyes glitter malevolently, as she witnesses Circe pinned by many MoEs. Again, memory comes back, and again Eos gestures, moving Circe out of harm's way by levitating the girl to a different Pillar. Going back to Kevin, and still with the deflective shield up, she slaps him a few times, trying to wake him up. In an absent way, she croons.::

" Need your help...can't go on without you.come back...come back..."

<< DC was now behind Cerci.......and as the flames disappeared.....DC smirked>>

hi there.......good to see you again!

<< DC blows a kiss and unleashes a gale force blast of icy winds from Limbo against Circe.........the icy crystals in the wind slash at Circe's body......and sweep her off her feet and back.......back to the wall where DC once stood........and at DC's wave....the wall is NOW covered with spikes......>>

have a nice trip honey!

<< the icy crystal winds.......sweep Circe as though she were a rag doll.......right into the wall of spikes>>

*Watching the battles, she smiled as she saw DC destory those pesky gols with ease. She took a deep breath and flew over to a pillar closer to DC and Circe and grinned. She called on Shive, as the Goddess shot an enormous maelstrom of sharp icicles speeding incredibly fast towards every part of Circe's body. She inhaled and let out her breath and powerful gales of wind shot out from her and in the direction of Circe, pinning her towards the icicles in the wall, as well as causing Shiva's icicles to fly faster towards the girl. She'd have to put up some kind of fight to get out of the force of the winds that were capable of knocking down numerous people.*

"Icicle sandwich...not my way to go, but it works."

<< Hearing DC's irritating voice, she spun around to the sorceress as the icy winds swept her into a wall of spikes. Unaware of the spikes, Taylor flew backwards. She hit the spikes full on, but miraculously bounced right off, having no damage done to her. Her magickal armor, blessed by the magic of the gods, had taken care of the physical hit dealt to her. Aware of the danger she was now in, Taylor turned into a ghostly form, as the barrage of ice crystals flew at her. She was safe, again, by luck of the gods, but she knew her luck would run out eventually. >>

"Yes, yes, WONDERFUL to see you too DC..."

<< Now corperal again, Circe faced DC, an icy stare in her eyes, the intensity enough to intimidate even this powerful creature (just a little?). Suddenly, in DCs eyes, Circe took the form of something DC feared most, the fear PARALYZING her, rendering her unable to do anything. In the next instant, Circe channeled a broad beam of light from her hands directly into DCs eyes, the brightness blinding her temporarily, but the heat seared her eyes, blinding her permanently >>

 

[Ms. Marvel]

<< DC scoffed with contempt as Circe's enhanced armour saves her from death from the spikes>>

gawd......everyone has to copy me these days dont they?


<< expecting her to have PHASED through Amy's attack.....DC was ready to attack the Paladin head on.....when suddenly, Cerci transformed into the one thing that DC feared the most......a giant snake.......she backed up and reeled in horror>>

SHARDS!!

<< the fear gripped her.........paralyzing her where she stood.....her magick failed her but her discs did NOT....but even before she could lash out.....Circes struck her in her icy violet eyes with a broad beam of light.......blinding her and damaging her physical eyes as well. she screamed with shock and rage....as she immediately covered her face with her armoured hands.........>>

ARRGHHHHH!! you ........you'll PAY for that! I'll BOIL you until your FLESH falls off!

<< DC stumbles backward and falls to her knees........her instinct is to protect herself...........a chime sounds off as a flickering...then shimmering pentagram of silver eldritch flame forms around her.......her "magick shield spell" takes effect as the invisible cylindrical force field of arcane magick rises up around ther circumference of the pentagram and stretches infinitely high......the skies grow dark and begin to roll as the winds rise......... as DC breathes heavily........and her hands glow a soft violet hue. her own personal "restoration spell" begins to take effect as the intense stinging pain is washed away...and her eyes are healed and restored. sparkling shards of arcane magick swirl around her face as the spell runs its course and is complete. DC remains inside her pentagram of protection .....allow her eyes to adjust to sight once more. having been forcibly confronted by her worst fear......and then terribly hurt in that attack, DC was NOW free of any paralysis and would NOT be taken unaware again the same way....... >>

(that little wench..........curse her! ill show HER what pain REALLY is about)

 

[Dragnolias]

::Watching as the one thing DC could not fight took shape. Drag knew he couldnt let his leader go down from a stupid GoL. As DC protected herself with her magick and began healing, Drag did only what a level one could do...be repetetive D) Using his talisman, he shrunk the snake down do about 6 inches and he shot fire at it to keep it at bay. Then creating a large gust of wind he blew it over the edge of the pillar, firing Ultima pulses to keep it dizzy and unable to act::

 

[DarkFaerie901]

"Some say emulation is the finest form of flattery....not in this case, but I thought that might comfort you."

<< Circe readies herself as DC brings her magickal protection up around her..... she had faced this sorceress before, and almost died from the experience. She knew to never let her guard down and to always be aware. She concentrated, heightning her senses, prepared for anything that might come her way. Circe would not be caught off-guard >>

"One more thing....it's always good to boil things in salt water, gives extra flavor."

<< While distracting DC with petty taunts and unwitty witticisms, Circe activated her beast armor. She transformed into a cheetah, her hunting cat senses were now heightened as well, letting nothing get by her. She saw the faint glow of DC's restoration spell from behind the silver flames >>

(Damn her, she ruins all the fun)

<< Circe began to run circles around the pentagram of flame, more out of boredom than anything productive. She hoped her blurring image might dizzy the sorceress behind the flames, though she doubted it. Circe just didn't want to remain in one place for long, less she be attacked >>

(Coward...hiding behind her enchantments)

EDIT (Drag)

<< Now shrunken as well, the cheetah continues to run, though the world is bigger than it. She hears the pillar begin to fall, and suddenly becomes dizzy. Circe tries to run a straight line, but fails miserably, and runs sort of a curved line, still managing to get away from the pillar >>

:: He had been scanning the Harpies mind telepathicly the minute she had entered the canyon, knowing each and everyone of her moves before she even made them he c0cked his head looking at the Harpie, as she started to hover closer to him his body shimmered in the light as he became invisble ::

" Thats not gonna work hun "

:: Smiling he still never looked into her eyes but instead concentrated on her figure, Vines sprouted up from the ground wrapping themselves around the Harpies body working their way up to her neck, wrapping themselves around her Kevin grinned, his Lumination amulet was working its magick as the ground below her was intensified by the sunlight which were creating the vines ::

:: Starting to choke he felt the winds wrap around him, taking nothing of it he fell towards the ground as they tigthened their grip, choking blood spurted from his mouth staining the rock beneath him, as they closed in on his neck his instant powers came into play, his ice amulet glowed brightly as his body encased itself in a thick layer of ice, keeping the wind from cutting his body instead it was chipping away at the ice, he quickly focused on the air around him lowering it to his liking and eventually freezing it, the wind was now nothing more than a giant block of ice standing infront of Kevin and Harmony seperating the, ::

" You'll do well to leave now "

:: As she was now trapped in the vines seconds after he had spoken a large column of water rose around Harmony, trapping her in the freezing cold water small ice blue lights swirled around the water, turning into 3 ice spikes they slammed into the Harpie freezing what ever they came in contact with. One Ice spike erupted beneath her stabbing her foot and coming out the other end freezing the blood on her lower body, the second however slammed straight into her arm quickly turning it cold and icelike. The last one slammed straight through her chest going through her front and protruding from the back, the ice spike slammed straight THROUGH her spine and left lung freezing there contents as it did so. Feeling more blood pour into his lungs he took out a small bottle of blueish liquid drinking it quickly the Healing potion vanished the cuts and blood that had stained him ::

OOC: Kevin, first off, when the winds blew around you, you wouldn't be able to keep the vines up and I would be free, and secondly... You freezing AIR? You can't freeze Wind... you can't even see it...

You need to edit, and stop trying to get out of attacks by simply doing things that you cannot, you may be high level but I DOUBT you can freeze things in Ice that you can't see...

OOC- Circe, please respond to my other attack as well. The winds are there for a reason, not just for decoration You'd still be immobile for a post You can't phase through winds, they aren't solid, that's already been posted by a Wraith.

BIC- *Amy huffed as the little annoying GOL had phased through her icicles. She wrapped herself up within her cloak of invisibility, none being able to see her in the battlefield. She took into the air, flying after Circe as the mini cheetah tried to get away from her doom. She hovered onto a pillar, until she was behind the animal GOL and grinned, holding her Isis Power Wand, as she made the tiniest of an opening in her cloak to unleash a torrent of eldritch fire bolts at Circe. The girl wouldn't know what hit her until she felt her as the bolts raced at her, not visible until after it left the wand and her cloak.*

"DC, are you alright??"

is what all good know.
I send this spell to break it,

for those annoying bubbles and force fields that the GoL's enjoy using....cast this spell and blast through their protection.

:: She put her hand up and Eos' arm suddenly exploded. With that, she took out her Black Forest Wand and sent out a ray of light at Eos, suddenly killing her. ::

OOC: Actually, I've had a discussion about this in GoL. A MoL hasn't responded though, so they are still free to dispute me, as is a DW, but my Ghost Form is different than just regular intangibility, so the winds would pass through me as well. The ghost form is like those dudes from the Matrix, they weren't affected by anything in their "ghost form"

And Drag: I didn't forget You said Ultima Pulses, which make me dizzy, so I responded to that. I ended up a drunk sort of dizzy.

BIC:

<< The cheetah was still running in a curved sort of movement, she avoided most of the bolts. Two bolts were able to hit her, one grazed her on the arm, the other struck her dead on the back. Circe let out a vicious growl as her fur and skin were burnt. She rose back to normal cheetah size and the dizziness left her. Enraged, Circe returned to her human form, back facing AF. Closing her eyes, she commanded a large, broad bolt of Smite lightning down from the sky, striking AF on the head, burning and paralyzing her. (2 posts) The lightning struck so fast, and with no notice, that there would be no time to dodge. >>

 

[Dragnolias]

OOC: sorry i should really pay attention to my posts

BIC:

:ulling out his Darkness Athame, Drag swirled it in a circular motion, letting out a screem to knock over opponents and anything in its path. The scream would cause Circe to fall to the ground enabling her to be vulnerable to any attack sent at her::

"Hahaha"

:utting the Athame Away, the scream stops and peace is somewhat restored to the area around him. Switching to his Green Man, Drag causes small rocks to cover Circe and he then lit the area around her on fire leveing a small breeze to feed the fire the oxygen it needed::

 

[Ms. Marvel]

OOC: hey people, i have to withdraw from this fight......im really not feeling well and ive got to rest for my journey tommorow. and just to lightly address what Circe was saying: intanginility is about altering your molecules and density allowing you to "phase" or "slip" through other substances of various densities etc.....but it is by no means a fail safe because there are MANY ways a person that is intangible can still be affected. HOWEVER, it appears that Circe's ghost for is not simply intangible, but actually "non corporeal" having NOsubstance and no real molecular cohesion...and therefore THATS why she cant be effected by even the wind....its more like a spectre than an intangible form. HOWEVER, that would also imply that SHE cannot physically harm anyone in that form as she has NO subtance herself....she could only use psionic, magickal or some other form of power/energy projection while in this form.

thats MY understanding of it based on what i know.
Merry Xmas everyone....and carry on the good fights!

BIC:

<< from within her pentagram of protection.......DC nods a thank to Drag and Amy for backing her up.........motioning for them to carry on ..fighting hard and fair, DC blinks OUT.........her pentagram fades in succession>>

BIC:

:: Eos screams in agony as what was once her arm disapears in a haze of red. Gritting her teeth, she holds her hand over her stump of an arm. Malice fills her eyes as she turns and faces Desire. Eos sees the MoE whipping out the wand, and watches as the tip glows then sends out a ray of light. Almost instantly, her Chaos amulet glows, and the ray simply fizzles out of existance. Rising, hand still covering her bloody wound, Eos grins wickedly, her eyes glittering.::

 

[Dragnolias]

::Sneaking up behind Eos after helping with the fight against Circe. Hoping AF can handle her on her own for a few minutes, he calls forth a lightning/wind storm to wrap itself around Eos. The wind keeps her from moving quickly as it slightly restricts her movements (still able to move just slowly) and then the lightning strikes down at her to cause burns and electricution::

"And teamwork does its job again"

 

[Blacklight]

::A black spiral forms with a low rumbling noise as Devon appears::

"Now this place looks like it could do a little warming up... Any lonely GOLs need company with a lil ole wizard here? Not literally i'm afraid..."

 

[Dragnolias]

::Taking his attention away from the battle for a second, Drag sees a fellow wizard, Devon, come into the battle::

"Nice to have you with us "

OOC- I am still invisible, you would not know where to hit me with the lightning. Drag, Circe did not need to respond to your attack as you were violating the 2 on 1 rule. But now that Farrah is gone, feel free to unleash terror with me, but remember the rule

BIC- *She grinned, watching the little cheetah ***, and then grew cautious as the girl turned to attack, still protected by her cloak of invisibility. Upon seeing the lightning bolt, she grinned and held out her hand while whispering lightning as the bolt shimmered out of the sky and towards her, where she directed the lightning bolt straight at Circe, trapped within the fire and rocks. After defending herself, she called upon the ancient being Atomos, who controls life force. He appears out of the sky, in a large, bird-form, as he uses his intellectual mind-power, dark rays of light connecting with Circe and draining her power slowly.*

 

[Dragnolias]

OOC: actually i had been fighting her before you, then you and DC came in and i forgot who mentioned this or where it was mentioned, once the opponent has posted, two seperate people can attack, whether they are the original two or not so i will check on that

 

[Blacklight]

::As Drag sent a greeting over, Devon gives a nod followed with a light smile as a reply::

"Yeah... Hey there..."

:: Devon then conjured a chair and sat down on it comfortably so that he could see what ever was occuring in the battleground. Unless some GOL decide to have some fun with him, Devon will probably just sit there till someone requires assistance::

<< The scream caused Circe to fall to the ground, helpless, defenseless. She could hear Drag's mocking laughter, and it angered her beyond reason. Suddenly, the scream stopped, and she regained some of her awareness, enough to know she was in inimate danger. She brought her deflection shield in front of her, which deflected some of the rocks away from her....she was not entirely trapped. The bolt of lightning suddenly hit the shield as well, much to the paladin's surprise. Bringing her shield behind her again, she levitated into the air, away from the fire. >>

<< In the next instant, Circe was struck by the dark rays. She felt herself falling slowly out of the air as the rays seemed to drain her of her power. Realizing the small defeat, she grinned towards her foes >>

"You've bested me today......but we WILL meet again"

<< Circe disappeared in a flash of white light >>
