Soul Calibur 5 Chapter 3: Return of the Azure Night[Accepting!](Started){Advanced}|PG-13|

[Kōsuke Ueki]

OoC: Michico, you need to type more please. And anyone that's God-Modding, please stop! BTW, Shattered, because he was technically a part of you, he had the powers of sheild himself mostly.

 

Nightmare laughed as their blades clashed. "What makes you so sure that you're stronger than me? Or in a way, yourself! I have the exact powers as you and I can use a manipulation spell whenever I feel like it!" Nightmare jumped and remounted the dragon. It blasted black fire, disintegrating a head of the hydra. "You cannot defeat me! I am you!" Nightmare then threw his blade at the heart of the hydra. It began to roar in agony and then exploded, causing Death Shadow to fall the ground. Nightmare retrieved his blade and demounted the dragon. It disappeared and Nightmare walked up to Death Shadow. "Now it is time for you to die!" Nightmare put his blade up to Death Shadow's neck and raised it up, preparing to kill Death Shadow.

[ANBU]

Kazu mounts the bird flying down near Death shadow and Nightmare, dismounting it and standing with his blade out. "My Lord, would it not be more fitting for me to have him drained of his powers, leave him living in torment rather than ending him, it'll affect him more than killing him would". Kazu looks down at Death Shadow then speaking telepathically to him "Play Along!" he says telepathically to Death shadow then looking back up to Nightmare. Kazu then holds his sword forward a thin beam of light shooting from it slowly starting to drain Death shadows powers very slowly.

[Michico]

"NO!"Michico said.

"Bad idea,there are always some geeks trying to receive his power back....

It is better to end his life right here,right now!"Michico said.

She grabbed her blade.

"If nightmare won't do it,i will do it!"Michico said.

[ANBU]

Kazu looks at Michico "ah, michico i'd advise against that, you do know that i have the powers of Cervantes right you attack me and my mouth blast shall leave a nicely sized hole in you" he says coldly. the Beam slightly intensifies still working slowly as Kazu looks at Michico. "and michico if you attack me, no matter what punishment id recieve afterwards i will kill you, oh and before you start i like to show you something". Kazu starts an illusion Michico, seeing him and Death Shadow Teleport appearing off to her left standing, both standing there.

[Michico]

OOC:I dont understand the part starting at "Kazu starts am illusion"

 

IC:"So,you are a traitor.

You betray nightmare....FOR SUCH A FOOL AS DEATH SHADOW?"She asked.

"You....are an idiot."Michico said coldy.

she grabbed her sword.

[ANBU]

ooc: i used the ghostly illusion powers cervantes had to make you believe i apearred off to your left standing with Death shadow, therefore you believe we're over there not where we really are

 

IC: Kazu looks up at Nightmare as Michico was stuck under the illusion, unable to hear him. "Lord Nightmre have you made your decision yet?" he asks quietly then looking back down at Death Shadow. Kazu kneels near Death Shadows the blades against him and glowing the power draining beam not able to be seen under it. Kazu looks up at Nightmare "Lord, I'd advise ignoring Michico she was going to attack so i stuck her in an illusion, sorry m'Lord".

[Michico]

"You know,next time using a illusion,be realistic!"Michico says,while grabbing her sword,rushing to the place death shadow was before,hitting the air where he was before.

[ANBU]

Kazu laughs as Michico missed, hitting just behind him. "now, now michico, no need for that" he says turning towards her and blasting her in the gut with his ghostly blast. "now Michico i believe you are outmatched afterall you seem to have missed so no poison has entered me currently". Kazu then stands taking his blade off of Death shadow and jumping into the air landing on the Shadow Bird. "if you want to keep this up i suggest you taking to the sky" he says as the draining beam pulls Death shadows body onto the bird lying it infront of Kazu as the bird flies. "you shall not kill him until he has been drained".

[Kōsuke Ueki]

"NO!!" screamed Nightmare as he used telekinesis on Kazu and Death Shadow and bringing them to Nightmare's position. He then pointed his blade to Kazu. "You do not give me orders!" Nightmare then chocked Kazu with his new demon hand, nearly suffocating him to death. "You will stay here and watch the execution or YOU will be next!" Nightmare let go of Kazu and prepare to cut off Death Shadow's head once again. "Your end is here, traitor!!"

[ANBU]

Kazu looks at Nightmare, "Lord i was not giving you any order, i was telling our fool who plays with poison" he says coldly. Kazu's draining beam intensifies widening slightly as he looks down at death shadow. "Nightmare if i was trying to stop you do you think i would not have reversed the power i sent through to the rune, currently it stops all but physical attacks on your person, if reversed if should block most attacks excluding physical and your stongest from affecting me if my theory is correct". Kazu steps back out of Nightmares reach as his beam further drains the body, taking the powers into the blade getting closer to the final part of the drain, as Kazu then sits watching Nightmare's reaction to this carefully ready to attempt a run if he decided to kill Kazu.

[Kōsuke Ueki]

Nightmare stopped for a moment and looked at Kazu. "Do not question me! I am on the urge to have my vengeance on this traitor!" Nightmare then looked back at Death Shadow. "Do not try to pull any trickery on me, traitor! It is time to end this!" "You're right!" yelled Siegfried as he came running at Nightmare. Nightmare stopped to look at Siegfried as he jumped to prepare his attack. Nightmare and Siegfried's blades clashed once more, but this time, time and space have been affected. In other words, the Siegfrieds and Nightmares from 2 years ago and 1 year ago have appeared in the present, showing their blades clashing. The Siegfrieds and Nightmares were confused at what happened. They began to see different versions of each other. They can't figure it out. Even the Siegfried and Nightmare of now can't understand what they have done.

[ANBU]

Kazu looks at the Siegfrieds as they appear then looking up at the Nightmares, "sir, i think you're pretty well matched after all there's 3 of each of you". Kazu then turns intangible as he runs through over to behind the Nightmares then turning tangible. "Nightmare, should i put the body in the dungeon while you, are occupied sir?". Kazu kneels near Deathshadows body not touching the body and waiting for Nightmares response.

[Kōsuke Ueki]

OoC: I'm not sure what that meant. Can you break it down so I can understand it?

 

"Yes. Take him away so that I can kill him later." Siegfried had no idea that time and space would be affected whatsoever. The other Siegfrieds asked, "What happened?" "It had appeared that time and space had been affected and you all came here for an unknown reason," explained Siegfried. "It matters not!" yelled one of the Nightmares. "The time for death is here!" Nightmare looked at the other Nightmare as he walked up to the Siegfrieds. Nightmare then put his blade in front of the other. "No! All 3 of them together can kill you within an instant-" "But if we work together ourselves, we could end this!" yelled the youngest Nightmare at the others. "I work alone!" yelled the deep-voiced Nightmare. "Do not be suicidal fools!" yelled the current Nightmare. "SILENCE!! You have no right to speak!" The current Nightmare then put his blade up to the youngest one. "I am more powerful than you two combined. If you try to attack me, I will kill you both!" "But if you kill us..." "You would never exist!" "You will obey me! It is your only choice!" He then turned to Kazu. "Kazu, bring our traitor to the dungeon!"

[Sorrow.]

Death Shadow was feeling weak but he smiled inside and said telepathically to Kazu without Nightmare noticing over the constant arguing, " Remember that place I told you, I want you to take me there. Remove my armor and put on armor of a Cursed Knight and kill a man and disguise him as me, you'll know when the time's right."

[ANBU]

ooc: C4 intangible means unable to be touched tangible means able to be so i went so i was unable to be touched ran through and turned able to be touched....so basically intangible = ghost.. that explain it..?

 

IC: Kazu grabs the body dragging it he turns intangible the body turning the same as he moves through to the dungeon at some point makinbg a grab at a cursed knight as he reverses his energy level in the blade. What Kazu is doing is unable to be sensed by Nightmare as he strips the cursed knight and cvovers him in Death shadow's armor making the body switch and casting an illusion on the area forcing, while there the knight to be though of as Death shadow. Kazu then launches him and Death shadow out the shadow bird under him, they pass through a few mountains to a spot, unseen by most of the world, leaving Death shadow there he returns to the castle leaving the shadow bird underground in a spot unable to be located he jumps out, turning tangible standing just outside the castle. Kazu returns hois blade power to normal now able to be sensed by Nightmare as he walks back to the scene holding the 3 Nightmares a small note left next to Death Shadow in the small mountain area he was left in, it read 'Death Shadow, I have took your energy into the blade eliminating Nightmare's ability to track you instead sensing the blade, stay there in that place until i bring the bird back to get you as you don't have your power currently i suggest you stay within the neutral zones showed on the back of this, the grey parts of the Map, from the Cursed Absorbtion, Kazu

p.s. leave no trace of your whereabouts at any time'. Kazu mounts the black horse, left near the castle and rides heading for the battle zone with the Nightmares and Siegfrieds.

[Kōsuke Ueki]

The 3 Nightmares continued to argue, until the current one saw Kazu come to them. The Siegfrieds saw Kazu as well, still confused. Nightmare walked up to Kazu and said, "Is the deed done, Kazu?" The Siegfrieds still wondered how this all happened. Questions began to flow through the current Siegfried's mind. What caused time to do this? How can it be fixed?

[ANBU]

Kazu jumps of the horse and looks at Nightmare "i left the body in the dungeon, Lord, he is quite finished". Kazu then looks to the Siegfrieds and Nightmares from the past, "Lord you don't mind if i take these ones somewhere else, after all they would be quite distracting if you proceed with the battle, would they not?". Kazu walks over to the four creating small draining beams yet not taking nor giving energy but using it to hold them in the air their bodies immobile. "Lord, before i finished him i drained him so there is his energy in my sword which you might sense, it is just energy that i have stolen".

[Kōsuke Ueki]

"I'm impressed, Kazu!" Nightmare said, somewhat wondering what to do next. "Release us, meat sack!" yelled the Nightmares from the past, immobilized and also in pain. The Siegfrieds were in pain also, but the current Siegfried concentrated some of his spiritual energy and used it to negate the spell on the other Siegfrieds. They thanked the current one and drew their attention to the current Nightmare. "This war still rages on but it's time to end it once and for all!" yelled Siegfried at Nightmare. Nightmare turned to Siegfried. "You are right! One of us will die today and it will not be me!"

 

Meanwhile in the past...

 

Zasalamel felt a disruption in the timeline at the Clock Tower. A portal that led to the present appeared next to him. "What could be the meaning of this?" asked Zasalamel. He then walked through the portal, not knowing what would happen. Back in the present, a purple lightning bolt struck down and opened a portal. Zasalamel appeared out of it and looked at his surroundings. Siegfried and Nightmare were shocked about seeing Zasalamel once again. "Where am I?" asked Zasalamel. "You mean WHEN you are!" replied Nightmare. Zasalamel looked at Nightmare and then Siegfried. "I do not know how you two were able to obtain such power, but now it is time you are all eliminated! Starting with you!" Zasalamel pointed to Kazu. Then the portal closed, leaving Zasalamel here.

[Michico]

Michico stars to laugh evily.

"Dumb guy,give me 1 reason not to kick you of this tower(just like the this is sparta kick in the movie 300)"Michico said to Zasalamel,grabbing her sword.

She did hold it with 2 hands.

[Kōsuke Ueki]

Zasalamel looked at Michico, annoyed. "You are the idiotic one! You shall die first!" Zasalamel jumped into the air and slashed Michico to the ground with his scythe. He then turned his attention back to Kazu. "You are next, imputent mortal!" Zasalamel ran to Kazu and jumped into the air, preparing an attack to Kazu.

[Michico]

Michico did stand up,and quickly hit zasalamel when he was in the air,interrupting his attack on Kazu.

"No,1 attack doesnt kill me"Michico said with an evil smile.

She used her sword's powers to drain some of Zasalamel's health.

"Prepare to die!"She yelled,chargin at Zasalamel.

[Kōsuke Ueki]

"STOP!!!" Nightmare yelled to Kazu. "Let's see what he's made of against Kazu." Zasalamel turned to Nightmare. "You have changed. What caused you to look like that?" "I have not changed, you fool!" yelled the youngest Nightmare, still immobilized. Zasalamel turned to the immobilized Nightmares. "What is the reason for this?" "Time and space were highly affected," answered Siegfried. "How can this be?" "When our blades clashed, two of our younger selves appeared in this time. I still ponder on how to fix this." "When you find out the answer, let me know. But for now, let's see what you can do." Zasalamel began to walk to Kazu. "Kazu, you may fight him," Nightmare said to Kazu. "Show us your powers!" "Yes, reveal your hidden powers!" said Zasalamel.

[Michico]

"Why dont i ever get to fight...."Michico said dissapointed.

She did sit down on the ground,looking really sad.

"I never betrayed you....."Michico said sad.

She looked at the ground.

[ANBU]

Kazu swings his blade as it was about to hit Zasalamel it went through him not touching him as it goes through him Kazu dissappearing going intangible and running through Zasalamel and turning around appearing. "hmm.. so you seem to be easy but yet i sense power under, hmm.. maybe this shall help". Kazu stabs his sword in the ground the shadow bird flying throuhg the ground now bones until it is beneath. "how about we up the stakes a little after all you cant see true power until you bring one to the brink of death, right lord nightmare?". Kazu pulls his blade out of the ground as the Black Skeletal bird raises Kazu and Zasalamel into the air Kazu opening his mouth blasting Zasalamel back near the edge of the wing bones almost falling off the bird.
