The Ultimate Organization II

OOC: My ranting took over for a moment...I'm back to normal now...though I'm really exhausted...

BIC: Xardius stood in silence at the wreckage of the hotel before him, his mouth tight, his eyes hard.

He scanned the wreckage, locating where his room had been...where Crissilia had been...

"Excuse me, sir, but this is a dangerous area," a man in a firefighter's uniform said, running up to him. "Are you authorized to be here? If not, I have to ask you to leave."

"Sorry," Xardius said. "I have some things in there."

And he jumped into the wreckage, wading through water and shoving huge boulders out of the way. The firefighter stared at him for a moment, mumbled something about not being responsible, and left.

EDIT OOC: Asgard is the world we're on, so named by Pirate.

 

OOC: ...Alright. Then I correct myself a few posts back. It was the "Asgardian Police" who swept the area.

 

OOC: Hmm, I didn't even notice. Last post tonight.

BIC: Xardius pounded through the wreckage, pausing as he looked around. There was no trace of Crissilia. Maybe she'd...

Turning, he bounded out of the hotel's wreckage, landing next to the firefighter who'd stopped him earlier.

"You didn't happen to see a little girl around here did you?" Xardius asked him.

"Oh, that's who you were looking for?" the firefighter asked. "Yeah, she's helping heal the wounded over in the medical center."

Breathing a sigh of relief, Xardius nodded his thanks and began running for the hospital...

OOC: Tomorrow, hopefully, the end of Enigma and Falcon's fight, the beginning of the UO vs the Brotherhood, and Tera Roth, Tyre, and Highwind vs Azull! Yippee!

 

"So..." Xane started, as the Brotherhood members started to fight amongst each other and the ground beneath them began to shake. "I'm thinkin' we should get outta here."

Cracks began to form all over Asgard as if being taken by a gigantic earthquake. Lava started streaming up from the ground...

"Yeah, I'm gonna go start the Gummi Ship," Xane said hastily.

 

OOC: That's what's going on in terms of Brotherhood plots? alright then... I guess I'll just wait for Xardius to go to the hospital then... waiting... waiting...

 

Xane found their Gummi Ship parked in front of Asgard's main gate. He immediately jumped in and started the engine. He then flew the jet towards the arena to pick up any member left behind. He had no idea where Adumbral was with Xegreny, so he only gathered Darxess and Bellatrix. Xardius was asking some firefighter a question, but they had no time...

"Xardius! We've gotta get outta here!" Xane shouted. "Then we've got to hurry to the hospital and get Nulix."

 

"****!" Adumbral swore as the ground started to break apart. Teleporting himself to the nearest mine of Uru (How did he find it? I'm not 100% sure.) he crafted himself a Pick. Grabbing a cart, he started hacking at the walls. The lava was nearly upon him when a large chunk of the holy metal clanked from the wall into his cart. With a smile he teleported back to his 'home base'.

He'd gathered the materials. Now he just needed to fuse them all together. And then.. well. Let's say the universe would turn 360 degrees if Adumbral had his way.

 

OOC: Why is the ground cracking apart...? I'm kind of confused...

BIC: Xardius looked around. "Um...What?"

 

OOC: Asgard's about to blow up.

 

OOC: ...........Why? What happened to make the world blow up...?

 

OOC: Ragnarok. Asgard was slowly beginning to deteriorate at the end of Ragnarok.

 

OOC: You've...got to be kidding me...That ruins all my plans in like...the thirty seconds it took to post the destruction of Asgard...I might just leave for the night and not come back until tomorrow...*sigh*

 

OOC: ...Meh. Fortunately, Asgard has several sister worlds directly below it. These include Midgard (Not Midgar), Niffelheim (The Under World), Jotunheim (land of giants), that are all connected by Yggdrasil. You can head to any of these places, as they're relatively deserted thanks to Ragnarok. Just travel below Asgard and land on the world underneath it.

 

OOC: I hear you brother, I had a few plans as well... and isn't Nul in a Asgard hospital...? If the worlds blowing up, shouldn't all the UO be off it...?

 

OOC: Oh...thanks, that helps. Because I was going to have a major problem trying to get Zaxor, Trent, Enigma, Falcon, Azull, Tera Roth, Tyre, Highwind, and the new evil guy who has a grudge against Darxess off world...OK, let's go to...Midgard, it seems slightly normal...

Don't worry Nulix. We're heading there now.

BIC: Tera Roth, Tyre, and Highwind sprinted through the jungle, as trees cracked in half and the wind howled at their backs. Tyre stumbled, but recovered, which was good, because they didn't have time to stop and help him up.

As Azull had stepped out of the trees, smiling with pleasure, blurs of energy already appearing in his hands ready to strike, an explosion of white hot energy had burst from the ground, hitting Azull straight on and giving them the chance to escape. Tera Roth didn't think Azull was dead, unfortunately...

"There are three exits from the world, right?" Tera Roth yelled over the wind.

Highwind yelled back an affirmative.

"Right! We've got to make sure Azull goes to the one the Ultimate Organization goes to!" Tera Roth yelled. "I'll got tell the UO to head to Midgard...You guys seal the entrances to the other two worlds!"

The three split off, heading for their perspective destinations...

***
Enigma and Falcon's fight had turned into a chaotic melee and then a desperate flight to survive. Falcon was second class; Enigma first. Either way, things were getting dangerous, and the two were back to back, helping each other escape the inferno...

As they climbed up the mountain, Enigma pointed. "Misgard's gate! Go for it!"

Falcon twisted and sprinted as Enigma slammed energy into the mountain, turning back the lava bursts for a moment, before turning and running for the gate as well...

Behind him, the mountain erupted in molten rock...

***

Zaxor and Trent watched the UO load into their gummi ship and exchanged glances...Things would come to a head very soon...

***

The anti-UO group simply walked into the Misgard portal...

***

Xardius jumped into the gummi ship. "Crissilia's there, too! Hurry!"

 

OOC: Xane was picking everyone up in a Gummi Ship. At any rate, the Asgardian doctors would probably know to travel down to Midgard, in case of such an event.

BIC: "I'm on it!" Xane replied, steering the ship towards the Asgardian hospital. Recklessly crashing through the front lobby, Xane made quickly entered the building followed by various doctors, nurses, and civilians who couldn't find enough room in the hospital's Gummi ships. The hospital had apparently sent most of it's patients off world to Midgard. Including Crissila and Nulix. Xane then steered the ship towards a world directly below Asgard. This was Midgard, which had also been evacuated due to Ragnarok. Fortunately, it didn't seem to be exploding at the moment. Xane landed the ship and breathed a sigh of relief.

 

OOC: ......Could you edit that post slightly? Could you... not get Nulix out of the hospital and just that... they hospital hastily transported its patients off world? Man, I feel so useless with my main character being disabled...

 

OOC: Yup. It's edited.

 

OOC: ........Tanks........

 

Xardius apologized to Crissilia, who explained that she'd left soon after him, but had stayed away from the battlefield due to the fact that she was still tired and didn't think she'd be much use. So when the Apocalypse happened, she helped organize the Asgardian Police into the area along with the rescue workers, which is why the evacuation had taken less than an hour to complete. Xardius was impressed, and he told her so as the ship landed.

Crissila paused. "I saw Nulix...I tried to heal him, but he's in bad shape."

Xardius nodded. "I'll see if I can find him and start laying out healing spells...I wish Enigma were here..."

Walking outside, the two of them marched up to the landing medical ships and began offering their services...

Enigma and Falcon both sat leaning against a rock, Falcon cleaning her rapier.

"So, we finished?" Enigma asked.

"There doesn't seem to be much point now," Falcon said. "You've proved you aren't weak."

"Neither are you," Enigma said. "But you're lacking...determination."

Falcon stared hard at him for a minute, then shrugged. "I don't have the resolution that the rest of you do, I guess. I am the newest member, or close enough."

Enigma, puzzled, turned to her. "I never heard your story of why you joined..."

Falcon slapped her blade into its sheath. "I'm looking for someone... But, that search led me awry. I was left alone and penniless on a rough world, and only my skill with a blade kept me from falling further than that. There were always the men..."

She closed her eyes, and Enigma could imagine. She was lucky.

Falcon opened her eyes again. "But I always won. Then Scourge found me. At first I thought he was just another one of them...But he didn't want to fight me, and he was polite. He took me to dinner, got me cleaned up, feeling human again...then he told me that he was looking for skilled people and I decided to join up with him. I owed him, right?"

Enigma was silent.

Falcon shrugged. "He sent me here because he said 'The one you're looking for is here. Good luck.'" She laughed slightly. "But I haven't found him."

"Who is it?" Enigma asked after a moment.

"A very old friend," Falcon said softly...

***
Tera Roth leaped through the portal and looked around, spotting the UO quickly. Breathing a sigh of relief, and brushing grime off of himself, he waited for Tyre and Highwind to show up. Presently they did.

"No one was on the other worlds, and the gateway hadn't had anyone gone through," Highwind said.

"Mine either," Tyre said.

"Good," Tera Roth, checking the list on the side of the gate. "Illusion can be fed to people, but not machines. It seems Azull hasn't entered into one of the other worlds yet..."

At that moment, the gate shut down.

"What just happened?" Tera Roth asked.

"They say everyone's off world," Tyre said, listening for a moment. "They're closing connections."

Tera Roth kicked a wall. "Crap! What about Azull?"

"I'm sure he's around here somewhere," Highwind said. "If they can't find anyone..."

"Then he's here," Tera Roth said. "Why isn't he on the list?"

"Maybe he didn't use the gate," Tyre suggested, and Tera Roth moaned. "Or maybe he was only here in illusion..."

"Wait," Tera Roth said. "If you were going to enter a tournament, and didn't want to get injured, but needed to be nearby, would you risk yourself twenty-four seven? If you were Azull, I mean?"

Highwind shook his head without thought.

Tera Roth smiled. "Oh, he's here then...."

The other two didn't bother to comment.
