ROM 3: Shadows of Souls

((Well Silver, we are flying...))
((Hey pokchu, keep in mind that our group isn't going to suddenly become friends with you. If we see you we'll attack you. And how could you just fly away? Even though you knocked out Qutar, Bowen is right there and I doubt he'd just let you escape.))

*Shaunisa took out the remaining Death Gliders and the group continued to fly. Then as the sun was beginning to set...*

"Look down there!"

"What is that? An army?" *Varna squinted down, trying to get a better look in the fading light.*

"Careful. It could be Bowen's."

"No..." *Jeff began to grin.* "I'd recognize that standard anywhere! It's Amhal!"

"Alright! About time we found him!" *Josiah was looking quite happy.* "Let's land and see what he knows."

*The army cleared a space in the midst of the camp without challenge, almost as if they had been expecting the group. As Midnight Wing and the other monsters touched down a familiar figure strode forward to greet the gamers...*

"Wait a moment..is that who I thik it is?"

"HOLY CRAP! It's...them!" Opal didn't know what to call them

"Should we walk over?" David asked as the two groups stared at each other

"Of course...we were building up a moment....." Josiah took the first step forward, and the rest followed

"Hey guys, how are you doing?" Amhal asked as they greeted each other. Opal nudged Silver away from the rest

"Well.....this is, awkward" Silver gulped

"You can say that again..." Opal unslipped her glove, reached her hand up and POW

"OW! Fudge crackers! Why did you slap me?" Silver could feel the burning pain in his cheeck

"HOW COULD YOU?" Opal was fighting tears

"Do what?"

"Abandon your family? We thought you were dead for two years Silver! You have no regrets to tell your family where you were?" She was almost on the verge of crying

".....would this be a bad time to tell you I'm here forever?"

"WHAT?!?"

"Yeah...either stay here forever or go home..."

Opal didn't say anything. She shook her head and left the crowd and hid behind a tree, sending Metalicat out for comfert

"And I still have to give her her monsters...." Shaunisa headed towards Opal

((Yeah... but Nessy's big. Like, really big. As in dinosaur size. If it was on the ground its head wouldn't be too far from us.))

"Uh... sorry?"

"Why didn't you at least tell us where you were?"

"'Cuz I forgot."

"What?!"

"Er... there wasn't any way to! I couldn't find any Inter-dimensional Postal Services or Cyberspace Phone Companys."

"Well what about the Zapony Express?"

"...Fudge Crackers."

Qutar stood behind Hellion. "That was a good try. Like we said, you didn't pay much attection to Zanther's battles. Though we did get hurt cause we wern't fast enough."

"So that's Opal?" *Josiah watched as Silver and the new girl continued to argue.*

"Yeah. Interesting, it looks like she managed to unmerge from her shadow."

*Josiah quickly glanced around. Silver and Opal were fighting, Jeff was talking to Amhal, and the others were mostly hanging back, unsure what to do. After a moment, Josiah and Virgo walked over to Amhal and Jeff.*

"Hey I know you two haven't seen each other since before the Zodiac Legends attack but you'll have to save the catching up for later."

"Yes. And I have to say that I'm glad you're all here."

"Well, since you're here I'm assuming you know about Bowen."

"Yes. I was revived when Orca collapsed. It didn't take long to figure out what had happened, more or less, although I'm still a bit unsure about your roll in everything. Anyway, I realized that the collapse would likely break the seal on the legendary Bowen. Since I didn't know where your group was, or even if you were alive, I decided to go stop him myself. I'm glad you came here too. Even with my army, I'm not sure I can stand against him. Speaking of your group, it appears that you've gotten several new faces..."

"Actually, Bowen is only part of the reason we're here." *Jeff quickly told Amhal about Hellion.*

"Hmm... This is the first I've heard of him. He sounds dangerous, that is certain. But I still believe Bowen is the bigger threat."

"Yeah, that's why we've been trying to take Hellion out first, so we can focus on Bowen. Anyway, we really should tell you the whole story about what's been happening. I hope you got some time, it's a long story."

"Don't worry. I'll have my men set up tents for your party and make us all something to eat. We can make our battle plans tomorrow."

"Ok then. Let's see, the Zodiac Legends... Man that feels like a long time ago..." *Josiah began as Virgo went to get the others.* "It all started when I began hearing rumors of powerful monsters that had been attacking villages. I did some investigating and began to get an idea of what was going on. I should have gone to Jeff, Shauni, and the others but I thought I could deal with things myself so I went off to confirm my suspicions..."

Shauni was sat alone of to a coner from everyone. She sat, looking at her hand, slowly going gray all over, she could feel less in it sensation wise...no heat, no wind...not even textures of her cloths.

She looked around at the army Amhel had gathered, it filled her with a little hope...but she knew Bowen would be no push over...and her time was running out

She waited until everyone was alseep and creapt out of her tent, heading towards the layer
*Emeil can show them where to go...I have to get that Gaunlete as soon as I can...or I wont be any help.....*

She set of quitly on balance towards Bownes layer into the night
*This is danaguras...but it must be done...please, Yomikko...watch over them in my steed*

She left a note saying she had gone is Yomikko's tent

"Dear Yomikko
I have left to face Bowen alone...if I can beat him using the gaunletes...perhaps everyones lives can be spared....there is to much at stake now...far more than anything we have face before...please tell Jeff I love him...but this is something I must do alone....
I have done many bad things in this darkness that has consumed the only world I have ever known...and I will not let anything hurt it or my friends...I will sacrifece my own life if must be...

I'm sorry for the pain I cause...but today i will put everthing I did as Unicoco right....
Dont geperdise yourselfs...if i should fail...your our our wolrds last hope...
I have left you Omegan and Death Glider to help you...
I only hope this great army of brave souls need never taste battle...

I'm sorry
With all my love
Shaunisa"

((Um... Crap... I'd like to go after Hellion and/or Bowen but I can't seem to do either until Neo and Hellion finish their battle. Neo, could maybe get it moving? Maybe even finish it yourself if you have to. Oh, and in case someone decides to have us leave the army, please have Varna left behind. We got enough NPCs already.))

Hellion stoped when he heard Qutars voice. "I don't know how you managed to avoid that attack but it will not happen again."

"We'll see. We now summon Perfect Storm!" The massive strom clould appeared. ""Use Strom to End All Storms!" 

"DIAMOND CHAOS CANNON!"

The Strom attack hit Hellion just as he did his attack. But the winds of the attack were great enough that the attack reversed itself and the Cannon exploded, canceling the strom attack as well but damaging Hellion in the process. Hellion wasn't happy.

"Try this one!" He launched an attack. Qutar and Perfect Storm avoided the attack but Live Wire wasn't as quick and was KO'ed. It returned to it's card.

"You'll pay for that. Use Omega Thunder!" Perfect Strom sent a massive thunderbolt towards Hellion. He dodged it. "Repeat!" 

Pefect Strom sent several attacks. Hellion dodged them but missteped one and soon a rain of Omega Thunders hit Hellion. He was smoking afterwards but wasn't down.

"That was a nice try. But even Legondary attacks. Don't affect me much." Hellion then sent a massive energy blast at Perfect Strom KOing it as well. It retruned to it's card.

Qutar now wasn't happy. "Metalmorph come out and fuse with me!" The metal looking blob came out of it's card and used it's iron coating attack. "This attack not only increases my defence but also my attack power of my own body. Also works on any metal monster. Now it's time to see if I can finish you."

Qutar begain to glow a white color. But then he began to glow a vioelnt red and purple and the wind began to whisp around him into a wild tonado. "This is for all the people you have hurt. I'm using the full power of Kuiia and this attack also!" A ball of energy was being formed in Qutar's hands. He then launched out a massive beam of energy that struck Hellion cause it was big enough that it was hard to dodge. A massive explosion followed.

Meanwhile inside Qutar a betrayal occured. Before hand Zanther had agreed to use his soul for the attack but at the last moment used Neo instead and the attack still had it's full effect. A hurt and worn out Zanther stood in Qutar's place. The explostion was still in effect.

Zanther went off to Bowen to hand him a 5/3 Kuiia card.

((Ok. I'll give Pokchu a chance to post what happens to Hellion. But don't go any further then that. Neo will be laying on the ground near by though.))

((Yes, thank you very much for God-Modding that whole battle. >_>;))

"ANGELIC HEAL!" Hellion cast a spell to heal completely, as he had not taken much damage. He then realized that fighting with Qutar was a waste of time. He knew he only had one option. Find Shaunisha. He spread his wings, one angelic, the other demonic, and flew towards the gamers, not too far away, looking for help.

((Don't just suddenly attack him, mmkay? Because, I'm not even near you guys yet, first off. Give me another post to show what happens when he meets you.))

((There will be no ROM comic this week...ive been ill since saturday...very ill...I'm finding it hard to even get out of bed...sorry))

((pokchu, Josiah gave me permission to do the battle as you weren't posting much. I was only doing as I was told. And how could he of come out of that attack with not much damage? Considering the level of the attack (God level with the help of a God Monster power boost plus a monster power boots). That seems to be a bit god moding too. I was just doing what I was told to do. Trying to finish the battle. And you shouldn't complain too much about Godmoding as you've done it more times then my once.))

Post by **Josiah** » Tue Mar 15, 2005 11:52 am

((Sorry pokchu. That battle was taking way to long. But Neo has a point, you shouldn't be able to completely heal your characters so often or so easily. Couldn't you at least be a little injured?))

"Josiah! Josiah!!!" *Yomikko's cry cut through the night.*

"Huh?" *Josiah blinked sleepily and looked around.* "What do you want, it's like, 3 AM..."

*Meanwhile the others, hearing her cry, were stirring as well.*

"We need a new alarm clock..." *Silver groaned.* "One that doesn't sound like a screaming girl."

"Shauni is gone!"

"What?!?" *That instantly snapped Jeff awake.* "Where, when?"

"I just woke up and found this note."

"That idiot..." *Josiah groaned.* "We have to help her!"

"Then get moving!" *Jeff hastily pulled on his clothes.*

"Wait." *Josiah's voice stopped him.* "She's going to Bowen's Lair. We can't just rush in. We need to do this right. Jeff, go wake Amhal. When we reach the lair his army will guard to entrance to keep any of Bowen's monsters from escaping. Emiel knows how to get there so he'll lead the way. I want everyone, Amhal's men included, ready to leave in fifteen minutes."

"What's going on?" Opal asked still have alseep

"I think we're leaving in 15 minutes to attack Bowen..."

"You know I'm not talking to you, you...um..blast, I can't come up with a metaphor right now to insult right now.."

"Um...you're talking to me right now..."

"Ok, I'm not talking to you stareting....now!" Opal put her nose up and stompped away from Silver

"Fudge crackers....what are with girls in Orca anyways? Running away, being mad at cause you haven't called in two years...say, how come the guys always out number the girls? Huh...must be some strange consipircy or something.."

((I just notced something, how the HELLO would Jellion know about Shaunisa???? You flew of before we merged to make her! And I dont have that stupied shadow camra thing, and HOW would YOU know I was coming alone???))

Shaunisa flew as swift as the wind, her powerful wings beating against the sky as she flew single mindly towards her goal

As she flew on into the rising soon she caught sight of her goal...Bowens floating palace now was appanret, sh copuld see it
*I can see it...thats weird...on no...Hellion must be there...hes forced the sealed realm open...meaing if Bowen where to get a body...he could leave!!*

She flew faster
*I must hurry!*
