Cue song: Ayumi Hamazaki - The End of the World

Guys...did you kill off the Guilt Hulk yet?!

Bruce? ... Yeah, we're alright.

Good.


The ground beneath the crumbled labyrinth in the mind's chamber began to crackle; the Hulks and Kyo ran to the scattered ends of the walls around them to make way for the giant which tore its ways through the confines of conscious thought. Bruce, still in the center hall in his mind, could saw the floor explode as a large tail cleared its way.

The beast's head emerged from the now visible inferno from the bottom layer of Bruce's mind; and on top of it rode its keeper, the sealed away Devil Hulk.

Greetings, old friends. ... The shocked expressions on your faces betrays you. Wait, don't speak; you want to know how I was...freed? Two reasons. The Devil Hulk pointed at Kyo. I was released by the turmoil caused by his Hulk. This one! The new Hulk's growl caused powerful waves to erupt around the now erupting labyrinth. I was thinking of calling him...the Giga Hulk!

Don't pin this on me, asshole! Kyo tried to leap at the Devil Hulk, but realized that he was now suspended on a platform above the pyre.

Helpless as always. The second reason? We're being called, you see, by demons of infinity! Why don't you look outside?!

Bruce saw his fellow fighters fending off countless hordes of demons, but had no power as of the moment to fight back.

And the quicker we tap into the body, the quicker we can make haste with the destruction. Carry on as if we had never come. Ta ta. The Devil Hulk and the Giga Hulk flew to the crystalized control room and appeared before Bruce, projected at the top.

... Bruce sat down and meditated, and went into a deep sleep.

What are you doing?!

Cue song: Martian Successor Nadesico - You Get To Burning

The chambers dissipated into a dream; the setting, an open field under a dark sky, with the winds blowing away the leaves of dead trees. Kyo and the Hulks now appeared before the Devil and Giga Hulk, looking mighty pissed off.

I know what you represent, Devil Hulk! YOU'RE GOING THE FUCK DOWN!

Hmph. I'd rather be taunted by a generic action movie quib than an embarassing little retort like that. But if you're so willing to die, be my guest.

The fuck? "If you're so willing to die, be my guest?" That's lame.


The Devil Hulk leaped off of the Giga Hulk's head, and immediately rushed across the field to silence Kyo by pouncing on him, by the Hulk capitalized by grabbing a large piece of the earth and flinging it at the Devil. Suddenly, Gray Hulk grabbed Kyo's arm and escorted him away from the action, leaving the Professor to take on the Giga Hulk.

Hm. You remind me of a dinosaur. The Giga Hulk lowered its head and roared, singeing the Professor with his breath. The Professor extracted a large bazooka from his pants. This is a nuclear bomb. It seems that you're also unaware of the powerful weapons Bruce gave us in his dream. The Professor shot a bomb into the Giga Hulk's throat, promptly exploding it. That's a victory.

The Giga Hulk regenerated.

Oh damn.

Meanwhile, Joe Fixit set Kyo down behind a patch of dark trees.

The hell're you doing Joe?!

Don't be a dumbass. He said that that big Hulk was yours, right?

Right...

Well, you have your own demons to fight, right? I know you're really into paintings and shit. So here.
The Gray Hulk presented Kyo with a paintbrush, a canvas, and many paints.

The...do you want a portrait mother fucker? Does this look like a Kodak moment?!

This is how you become your own man, kid; do what the fuck you want instead of what you're told! The real Kyo's a poet, but you fucking suck at it.

Bitch, you're the last one to talk when it comes to poetr-

Shut the fuck up. Anyway, you suck at writing poems, but you're a pretty good analyzer of paintings. ... Why don't you paint a pretty picture, of the family you want, or a pretty landscape, of the life you wish you had, fuck, draw a girl with big tits; PAINT.

And THIS is supposed to stop that big Hulk?

Do you have any better ideas, you dumb twat?

Fine, fine; I'll paint.


The Gray Hulk rushed back into the action, and ducked when the Professor flew right over him.

You got your salad tossed?

How...characteristically...uncalled for...Fixit.
The Professor fainted, leaving Hulk alone to battle with the others. Joe thought Hulk wasn't countering Devil Hulk's blows fast enough.

Yo, Hulk!

WHAT?!

Stop for a moment. Get hit in the face.

...why?! The Hulk got sucker punched by the Devil Hulk.

What a brilliant piece of advice, Joe Dipshit. Got any other ideas?

Yeah, totally kick him in his fucking balls!
The Gray Hulk said, with a faux pas surfer's accent.

Radical! I'll kick him in the crotch to the extreme max! The Devil Hulk complied, matching the accent, and kicking the Hulk square in his nuts. The Hulk retracted, and yelled out at the sky.

AHHHH!!! HULK ... SMASH!!! The Hulk gave the Devil Hulk faster, harder punches, and was able to dodge a few of his own blows.

UGH! The...what happened to...you?!

Should've done your homework asshole. The Gray Hulk said, while lighting a ganja cigar. The madder the Hulk gets, the stronger he gets. HEY, HULK! HE CALLED YOU A FAG!

WHAT?! HULK NOT FAG!!! HULK NOT FAG!!! The Hulk began to furiously, relentlessly rip apart the Devil Hulk; the rage was far too powerful for the Devil to withstand any longer. The Hulk grabbed the Devil Hulk's unconscious body, leaped literal miles into the sky, and pounded him on impact. The Devil was done.

Fuck, I need a pencil. ... Got one. Okay. ... Yeah, balance, trinity, got it. Easy ass shit. Kyo stood up and looked at his completed, rough looking portrait of a Puerto Rican Jesus Christ. My first, offensive, pretentious, religious-themed piece of art. I feel...damn good!

The Giga Hulk, which represented the false feelings and emotions our Kyo had...dissipated into nothingness. Peace was had at last within the fragile, yet solid mind of Bruce Banner.

Whew. I'm done. You guys get the hell up here. We have people to save and ass to kick.

***

Cue the last song: Rocky - Theme Song

Bruce Banner, with his mind finally at peace, grabbed the hands of Air Man, Allen Snyder, Dan Hibiki, Captain Falcon, Tingle, Adol Christian, and even Max from Tales of Destiny II. A pair of demons marched towards them; the legendary Konami game designer Hideo Kojima, the man with the power to control reality, and the man who controls all of the evil in the free world, Rupert Murdoch. The heroes triumphantly charged at the two men, with their fighting spirits at the highest peak!

"Hyaa!" Yuffie slices down a dark warrior with a double-handed overhead chop. She shifts to her left and brings her Conformer around in a sweeping slash that takes down a wailing creature. Two more quick slices drops another creature. Not stopping, she sends her weapon flying in an arc, taking down the ones in front of her before it returns to her hand.

Yet even as she cuts those dark beings down, more continue to replace them, relentless and fearless, desiring to destroy every living thing in the chamber. Looking around, Yuffie can see that sooner or later, the darkness that is accumulating will eventually overwhelm them. And she doesn't want to find out what will happen next.

"It's all up to you guys!" Yuffie cries out to where the explosion came from, to the Avatars and to the three to whom the fate of the universe rests upon. "Don't let us down!"

Yuffie turns back towards the dark horde. She holds Conformer in front of her, and concentrates. Energy starts swirling into an orb, gathering on the center of the weapon. It builds up to an enormous mass many times her size.

All Creation

An immense beam blasts from the orb, cutting a large swath through the demon horde.

----------

Woo hoo! Time for the final showdown!

Before Testament could begin to attack Altima, something happened...Armageddon, to be specific. The Archbishop, not human but a creature cast from a place darker than the blackest pits of hell; Anko, possessed by the Archbishop and used as a vessel for the power of God; the Lords, making the ultimate sacrifice in order to try and oppose the Archbishop's plan.

"This thing wishes to return all creation to nothing...NO. I cannot allow that to happen! Dizzy, Alma...I will protect you!"

From Testament's eyes, a shining golden light flared. Within moments, that light had spread over the rest of his, burning away the shadows to replace them with hues of shining gold. And there was something different about his face, too...something noble, long buried within the mire of hatred that had filled him for so long, seemed to have risen up for one final Crusade. It was...hope.

"I cannot fail! For Dizzy (I owe you everything), for Alma (may your innocence shine pure forever), for everyone out there who's worth the air they breathe, for ALL OF THEM! I will not fall!"

With that, Gold Testament rushed at the possessed Anko, scythe blade glowing with a bright, shining light...

Location: Feudal Japan

Hisame Shizumaru - 7:1

Upon first being drawn into the tunnel - the twisting, swerving pathway to the center of the universe; that sacred birthplace of all existance, Shizumaru could not help but feel insignificant to the cosmic beauty around them; of the stars, planets, comets flashing by, whisking through nebulae, seeing the birth of those stars and past them, galaxies passing over his vision in incalculable amounts - and to think that once, he'd felt that walking the stretch from Tokyo to Kyoto was a long distance. Never would he feel that way again.

But now was not the time to revel such natural beauty - Altima dove in quickly, the surge of her power maddening and obsessive. The spell of hers, Grand Cross, was a prime example of that power. Much to his surprise, Shizumaru could feel such power coursing through him, through every vein and cell and muscle, nearly overwhelming him. Calmly, he focused his mind on one thing - the Void Creation. He could not help but feel sympathy for the maiden Anko, trapped in her body - much as he himself had been when Ameki had taken control of his body.

"Anko-san..." he murmured softly. "Alma-san, Elmdor-san - even myself - no one should have to suffer this pain," He fluffed out his wings some; a constant reminder of that trauma he'd suffered at the hands of Shang Tsung. "And if it means that death can be your only release - " he gripped his umbrella tighter - " - then I shall do everything I must to save you from it..." his other hand grasped the hilt of his nodachi; the two braids from Zack Ebony and Tachibana Ukyo fluttering behind him - "And if it would mean the fate of all existence, then I shall have it in my power to defend it!!"

In an enormous burst of speed due to the nigh-godlike powers he possessed, he flew towards Anko and Altima, Kirisame at the ready. He zipped straight past Altima and snapped open the umbrella, flinging it at Anko. The sharp edge of the open frame struck the Void Creation and it let out a grievous howl; one that Shizumaru tried to pay no attention to. He swerved out of the way as a writhing tentacle of pure black energy flew toward him from Anko, and when he caught his umbrella again, he brought it up over his head and slammed it down, breaking the energy and sending out a spray of what looked like black ink - though, blood was what it only could've been. He snapped open the umbrella, deflecting the odd liquid, and once the flow had stopped, shut it quickly and flew in with another immense burst of speed, plunging the umbrella into Anko's torso. He flipped away as she stumbled, disoriented.

For the briefest moment, his eyes caught Altima's - deep, red - bloody - they were the eyes of the Angel, but it was not her that he saw. Alma-san, please, do not slip away - this will be over soon! You must be in there; I can feel it... do not let go of your life!

Testament flew in front of him, a brilliant gold against the vast emptiness of the universe around them. He struck with his scythe, equally golden, carving the air in front of him with a cross-slash which struck Anko's arm, and it spilled the same strange black blood that it had done with the burst tentacle. Testament backed up to Shizumaru's position and caught his eye. "Do you fight for her?"

"Whom?" Shizumaru blinked. "You mean Alma-san?" Looking over back at Altima, who stood motionless, transfixed on the young man, his eyes darted back to Testament in his splendid gold. "... I do. For her, and Elmdor-san, and those who have been overtaken by the darkness inside them. I was powerless to stop it happening from Alma-san - and as it happened to me, I can feel her anguish inside that body - I sympathize true with her - "

He flapped his wings to avoid another blast of darkness from the Void Creation. Testament opened his mouth to speak, but Shizumaru shook his head, and dashed in close to Anko, while Testament sliced down the new shot of energy with his scythe. Close in, Shizumaru swung up hard with the umbrella, flipping at the peak of the slash, and hit once more with the nodachi - and the agonizing, distorted howl of Anko filled his ears, nearly making him drop his nodachi before he'd sheathed it.

Curiously, he looked behind him, and moved out of the way as Altima took a turn to strike forth, cutting forth with her daggers. Anko stared blankly, but her form radiated with the flow of darkness, and in a split second, that bubble finally burst - knocking all three away from her, and leaving her to race ahead. Testament led the way first - "We can't let her get away, not with what's at stake!!" He dashed forward as a golden streak to meet Anko, and Shizumaru was about to follow him -

- when Altima grabbed onto one of his wings.

In horror, Shizumaru looked back, struggling against Altima's grip, and panicked: "This is no time for your schemes - all of us will die if the Void Creation is allowed to carry out its mission! We have to - "

Altima pulled him in close, and his eyes widened at her expression. "We - we mustn't, Altima-sama... this is - not *now* - "

Shizumaru!! he heard a faint cry in his head, and his mind went into a flurry. He took a look again at Altima - and while the body was that of the Bloody Angel - the eyes were Alma's, and they were pleading to him silently. He was breathless - "Alma-san! How do I - "

You can't worry about me! Her voice was breathless as well. You know it yourself; too many people are depending on us to have Altima attain her true power!

He nodded. "I do. Alma-san, what are you - "

Shizumaru's eyes hardened at the next faint cry of Alma's sent into his mind.

You cannot let her get near Anko. Both of us know what would happen if she is allowed to defeat the Void Creation! I... I don't care if it hurts - you must defeat Altima and prevent her from gaining that strength!!

He was motionless; only the sounds of Testament's battle shouts and the whisks of the cosmos around them were what he could hear. His head trembled - but he understood his duty, and what Alma was asking him to do. It didn't stop a tear from falling from one of his eyes, however...

Shizumaru - was the last thing he heard before Altima's hand let him go - and it was the last thing he heard before taking his first strike against the Bloody Angel.

Amethyst floated near one wall of the chamber, three cards floating in a triangle before him, a fourth in the middle. Three went into that tunnel... The Knight of Swords, the Tower, and... Death. The Tower rotated gently on its vertical axis, revealing the High Priestess on its back. High Priestess, is your struggle so great? Such fair and unspoiled beauty hiding such inner turmoil... The fourth card turned, revealing The World. One corner of Amethyst's mouth turned up, and with a wave of his hand, the cards darted back into his sleeve.

He turned and gazed at the legions of demons pouring from the shadowy portal. One hand drifted to the grip of the Comet Blade at his side.

"For the blood of the innocent lost, and for the fate of The World... Gladly will I fight the legions of Hell."

Sound like a similar situation?

Heh.


Slowly, Amethyst drew both swords, rolled over in midair, and dived towards the demons.

Wee, braindead r me. Again. Anyway, yeah. Anyone use Amethyst, longsword and katana, go nuts.

Testament continued to fight with the Void Creation, doing everything in his power to slow the doombringer before she could reach her destination. The Gear attacked relentlessly, chaining his strikes together in a rabid flurry of attacks...a quick horizontal slice, a powerful vertical cleave from top to bottom, a diagonal stroke, a kick, another horizontal slash, a Gravedigger. But the with the power of a god behind her, the possessed Anko was a formidible foe...she fought back, blades of light emanating from her hands to meet Testament's scythe, deftly repelling the attacks; until the kick connected, catching her offguard and momentarily breaking her defense, allowing the next slash to connect, ripping a deep, ugly gash across her stomach, which was soon crossed by another, even larger wound from the Gravedigger. Anko was hurled back by the force of the Gravedigger, but she swiftly recovered, and launched a counter attack of her own, in the form of a massive pillar of light that would make Gamma Ray look like a sparkler. Testament's eyes widen...hurling himself to the side, he was able to avoid being blown apart. It was then that Testament noticed that he was alone in fighting against the Void Creation; turning, he saw that the demon he had spoken to in passing earlier, Shizumaru, was attacking Altima.

He's attacking her...! No...he's trying to set her free, to restore Alma to herself. I should help! But I cannot. Even if I restore Alma, it will do no good if the universe is destroyed, and her with it! No...I must focus on the battle at hand before engaging Altima.

"Alma...I'm sorry. Please, hold on..."

With that, Testament turns his attention back to Anko, his eyes blazing once more. Charging forward, he unleashes his attack...

"NIGHTMARE CIRCULAA! NIGHTMARE CIRCULAA!"

Testament raises his hand, pointing at Anko...in front of his hand appear two immense summoning circles made of pure energy, one behind the other, each one bearing an uncountable number of ornate runes carved in lines of light. The second circle, the rear one, remains dormant. But in the front circle, a nighmarish visage appears, gazing at Anko with a horrifying stare that would a grown man scream....and then, it erupts in a tidal wave of lethal energy, a toxic hurricane bearing the screams of a hundred souls in direst agony. The dire onslaught goes on and on...but at last, it ends. The possessed Anko, momentarily winded by the attack, takes a moment before she begins to prepare her counter attack. And then the second circle erupts, catching her completely offguard. The screaming wind rips into her, burying her beneath a savage assault on mind, body, and soul(s). While the hellish vortex keeps her engaged, Testament rushes towards Anko, his scythe flashing in arcs of gold...

Canto VI + Noli Me Tangere + Framata


The first sensation Altima felt when her power returned was that of a sword's edge. She went rigid, the blade strangely...well, hurting, but in such a way as she'd never felt. She had taken the recoil of her Grand Cross and the Grand Unholy with all of her power, and it was all but a tickle against her perfect flesh. Yet now, as the nodachi cut into her shoulder...

What are you doing, my Body? Surely you're still weak and hurt from the Fallen Angel's Tear...why do you yet resist? Feel this power we have! The strength of centuries, of millenia, of all of time flows into us. Rest now...I will be there shortly to comfort you. Then I will truly bring you to life, my precious Alma...

Altima touched her wound, her wine-dark eyes fluttering with surprise. The blade had cut deep. She looked at its wielder, panting and hoarse before her, and her eyebrows lifted again. He was a vessel- one of those which carried her servants. Yet he stood against her. It was...thrilling. He was called Shizumaru, if she remembered- ah, yes, Shizumaru Hisame. A beautiful young man; with that sort of body, 'Ameki' was surely as appreciative as she was.

"Shizu...maru," Altima said, trying the name out on the lips- her Body responded so well to it. She took her palm from her wounded shoulder, and then brushed her lips over her palm. She kept eye contact with Shizumaru at all moments, her pink lips turning up in a smile. Then, when the palm passed, they were red with her own ichor. Her silver locks fluttered with an unearthly wind, and she puckered her lips once. "So brave, aren't you..."

She could smell the fear on him- not fear of her, but fear of what he was about to do- and yet his eyes! They glowed with that ferocious courage, the same spirit that Alma herself wielded. Altima almost shook her swimming head in amazement; that sort of bravery, which she'd wanted to laud so many times in the comfort beyond comforts- it actually existed in others beyond Alma, and one of them now faced her.

"Invigorating," Altima said, sighing. Her long knives came up again, and she clasped them on either side of her full chest. "I'll have to try to keep you alive, little Shizumaru...don't be sad. After this, you will sleep, and when you wake..." She smiled. "Well...you'll be at the right side of God, in more ways than one, won't you?"

He flushed with anger, and Altima had to chuckle. So warm. Truly, he will make a fine champion- think you not so, Alma? Watch...I hope you enjoy this, too.

Shizumaru rushed at her, his long eastern blade drawn. He tore across the tunnel as Testament hacked away at the Void Creation, and Altima's soul soared. A battle on two fronts- it was so enticing! She twirled her cruel daggers until they reached a cross guard in her clawed hands, and then she came to Shizumaru with a wild screech. They clashed- Shizumaru's overhead swipe was caught in her cross guard. She giggled, leaning in with a shove of abnormal strength as he took flight. Shizumaru wavered in the air- and then gasped as she leaned in, abruptly, and bit his cheek.

"Don't waste time, my little Shizumaru," Altima said, her blades locked tightly with his. "Your strength...show it to me. If you let me in close enough to bite you again...you're mine."

"Bakemono ga," Shizumaru said, his eyes flaring with anger. He pushed off her, somersaulting in midflight, and when he came up, his nodachi was sheathed, and there was the Kirisame in his hands. He popped it open and curled up into a sort of cannonball- and then his wings pumped, and he came at her, the sharp edges of his umbrella whirring like a chain saw. "Raiu!" he yelled, as his umbrella met with the cross-guard daggers. Sparks flew, wings beat, and Shizumaru broke through-

Nothing.

Na-nani?! Shizumaru stopped, breaking his stance as his technique hit nothing. He hovered in midair, looking around the bright blue tunnel-

"Mm, up here..."

Shizumaru didn't even glance up. He brought his umbrella up just as the twin daggers cut viciously down on its cloth, shearing some of it away. He strained under the blows, shocked at the strength behind them- even with the oni brought out, he didn't have nearly that much physical power. But as he felt Altima back away, he realized he still had a trick left- dangerous, but any way to save Alma was a good way.

He slammed his palm on the pommel of his umbrella, and sent it up in the air. Now he could see her- Altima whirring aside, a slow backflip in midflight with her wings out and her daggers held in safeguard along her forearms. Her somersault carried her just out of the way of the Kirisame, and then Shizumaru struck. He powered up with his wings, kicking off from his heel, and one hand grabbed the Kirisame as it hovered in the air.

"Shin Kyoraku Zan!"

Shizumaru shouted the name of the move as the other arm tore his nodachi out of its sheathe and made a vicious thrust to Altima's exposed back. It was a weak stab, but if he could clip her wings it wouldn't matter. He felt the tip strike something solid, and he lit up with success-

-only to find her blades crossed behind her back, their flats exposed in a slim shield. Shizumaru was shocked- to block with that kind of accuracy...it was terrifying.

Kusooo!

Altima's somersault brought her down again, facing Shizumaru in midair- and then her swords whipped up in speedy, decisive slashes delivered with such grace as to be admired. Shizumaru brought his nodachi up in a defensive position, but she was so fast! He blocked one on his right, dodged low- gasped as one tore across his sternum. He felt his left shirt sleeve rip when he moved his right arm to block, and then felt a cold settle in his stomach as his Kirisame just barely blocked a stab to it. Then her swords whipped up in the air and came down, and he moved his nodachi up to block them both. One clanged against it- but the other didn't. Shizumaru stiffened- she'd only swung one down, the other was still there! His Kirisame again lifted, and he almost got it open-

"Aaah!"

She stabbed him viciously in the left arm, which he held the Kirisame in. Shizumaru grunted with pain- this sort of speed was like Tachibana-san's, but she wasn't even using iaijutsu. She wrenched her blade out before he could retaliate, and locked her blades again, sandwiching his nodachi between them-

"Aperite septem ianuas ut turris potestatis pervenias!"

An incantation- like Alma's. Shizumaru's eyes went wide, however, as a beam of green light tore over him. He barely had time to blink before it expanded, encompassing his figure-

Shizumaru, BLOCK!

"Ultima!"

-and exploded.

Shizumaru's back bent from the ferocity of the blow- a blow of such power that it could cause pain, even to a near-god. He felt his shirt blown open from the blast, his muscles burning with searing heat. Light burned into his retinas, blinding him momentarily; it just wouldn't stop growing, razing every inch of his body. His wings went rigid with pain and shock as the Ultima spell took him, and his body curved back amidst Altima's strange giggles-

...i-iie...iie...IIE! Alma-san!

His eyes snapped back open, sight flooding into them. Shizumaru kicked his legs over, grabbing his Kirisame and nodachi, and powered himself up in a tornado spin. "Baiu- Ensatsu Jiiiin!"

He spun once, his Kirisame flying up in a upward blow from the side. Altima's eyes caught it, however, and she flew up above it, smiling condescendingly, adoringly. But Shizumaru was not yet beaten. As he came around, his Kirisame switched over to his back, and he plucked the nodachi from its sheathe. During that long draw, he spun again, and ripped the great blade- the blade named Ou Haraeno Maga Kami Shizumaru- up in a mirror movement of the Kirisame strike- a double tornado cleave, the long swords aiming for Altima's side.

Altima flew above both, cackled wildly- and then she flew back down and drove her swords down. One slammed into his hilt, and Shizumaru gasped, having to release the nodachi. It plummeted to the bottom of the spiral, and shock overrode him.

Pain was next, as the other sword came like the bite of a wild animal into his shoulder.

"Aaaah!" Shizumaru cried out in pain, the blood flying from the slick, wide wound running over his left shoulder, down over his chest. He fell back to the bottom of the tunnel, gasping as his back hit it. He immediately grabbed that arm and turned over onto his side, rolling back up to his knees. The pain was great and the bleeding was profuse, but he had to get his nodachi back...

Altima came fluttering down, her smile still hypnotic. She brushed the bloody blade over her already bloody lips, mixing the blood of an angel with the blood of a devil. An exquisite taste. Shizumaru looked like hell, figuratively- an Ultima spell followed by a blow like that had left his shirt in tatters, revealing a cut and burned torso of slightly golden flesh. Oh, I pray he will live...I can't let a warrior like this go to waste...

"Shizumaru...it is over," Altima said, her face seeming to gleam with that holy white aura again. "This was never a fight. Shh...sleep now. Let me through, to the Void- I will destroy it, and then the world will know peace. Please..." She let her blades hang low, her gaze softening to where it almost seemed like Alma's again. "Please...trust me. All I want is for someone to trust me. Let it be you..."

Shizumaru shivered with pain, the angry wound like the taste of failure. If only he could get his nodachi again, he could try...but she'd disarmed him with such finality, avoiding even the Baiu Ensatsu Jin. She was on such a level that even the most legendary swordsmanship was all but trivial. Worst of all, her voice held such...loneliness to it. It was the acrid loneliness he'd felt all his life...

Tatsukete...tell me what I should DO...

Altima had begun to walk forward. "Stay here. I will defeat it-"

Then something shrill pierced the air.

"DON'T LET HER-"

Shizumaru turned his head up, gasping- it was Alma's voice again. But so loud, so shrieking...it was like the scream of a banshee. He held his ear in pain, seeing Altima grab hers with the same sudden anguish- and then something burst through the wall of the tunnel. The banshee scream stopped, and was replaced by the ominous hum of metal swinging through the air. Shizumaru looked up, and caught a flicker of black and red whirring over the bright blue light of hyperspace-

...masaka...

It landed right in front of him, sticking in the floor of light. A huge, black tachi, broader and longer than most. A black hilt, weaved in red, with a huge crimson hilt shaped more like a cross guard. And the blade, long and black- long and ebony- with a bleeding crimson edge.

Such was the sight of the blade that Altima, Holy Angel, took a step back.

Out of a rip in time and space, along the path to the center of the universe, a bloody savior- the Muramasa.

Shizumaru-kun!

Tach...Tachibana-san...?

We are with you, beyond those locks of hair! Shizumaru- use that sword!


Shizumaru paused, for a moment too stunned to think- and then he tok it. He reached out and grabbed the black and crimson hilt of the Muramasa tachi, hearing it groan beneath his fingers as he grasped it. Only then did he notice its scarlet edge was seeped in crimson- in burning blood, that smelled of something eerily familiar. Whatever it was, it did not dry on the stainless obsidian steel, and at the moment, Shizumaru didn't care. He pulled it up, feeling it shudder again as its dark blade was freed from the tunnel of light. Hefting it up, Shizumaru rushed again at Altima, his eyes alight as he slung the Muramasa low and at his side.

"Kime...kime ni iku wa yo!" he screamed, calling at Altima. It was time to end this. Without his nodachi, he was powerless, but this sword- this sword last seen in the hands of a true friend- maybe, just maybe, he could do this.

"Hito-Ryu no Ougi- Santou Baiu Ensatsu Jiiiiin!"

Shizumaru charged Altima, and both combatants leapt into the air, and then it started again. Shizumaru tore forward once, sheathing the shorter but heavier Muramasa into the nodachi scabbard, and whipped his Kirisame up in the initial strike. Altima dove up, her first sword slamming into the umbrella to block. The umbrella fell, but Shizumaru let it fall, already spinning again. His hands drew the Muramasa out for a faster strike than he ever could have accomplished with the nodachi, and the blade slammed violently into Altima's first sword-

-and sent it flying.

Now! Now!

Altima brought her dagger up, expecting Shizumaru's momentum to end there- but it didn't. Shizumaru suddenly kicked against his legs, powering his wounded wings up for a vicious and third ascending strike. He spun around, and brought the Muramasa up with all his might, screaming a savage war cry as its red edge echoed the scream-

-and Altima, likewise, dodged that as well. The Muramasa grazed her stomach as her wings took her up again, and then whipped around Shizumaru's back as he fell.

Altima knew she'd won, and her shocked eyes settled into a satisfied stare. She brought her dagger up again, her other hand reaching down to grab Shizumaru in midair. Her talons snatched into his stomach, clawing his flat abdominals, and the Bloody Angel brought down her other twisted dagger, aiming for the shoulder. "Now you're mine! SHIZUMARU!"

The Muramasa clicked out of a sheathe, and screamed back at her.

"TSUBAME GAESHI!"

The edge of the blade came around, ignited with fire in a ferocious battoujutsu draw. Shizumaru screamed as he drove the blade up and down in a cleaving strike, and Altima cried out in surprise, already releasing him. She flew back, but it was already too late. The bloodstained edge of the Muramasa was ablaze, the friction of the draw igniting it instantly. Altima brought up her sword- she could yet block, and block she did, as the burning Muramasa cut deeply against the edge of her blade, and the fire scorched her chest but did not wound-

-then a smell touched her nose, and Shizumaru's. It was the smell of the blood on the edge of the tachi. It was a pungent aroma, something like a manmade substance. Altima frowned for that one second, but her eyes locked onto Shizumaru's face in the next instant. His was a tight look of awe, his eyes wide and his scream now fading into a grin.

"Mako no chi-"

a devil-

Then the ignited Muramasa let loose an explosion with twice the violence of Ultima, and Altima screamed as her sword shattered-

-and the Muramasa cleaved her in two.

Shizumaru lost sight of her then, as the explosion drove into his body as well. His wings flew up as he was thrown down with burning violence into the blazing floor. Again he impacted and again his body bucked, and he coughed saliva with large flecks of red in it. Yet when his eyes opened, he saw Altima's body, glowing with light. Her face was wide with shock, and she clawed desperately at her severed chest- and then burst into a pillar of light that shook the tunnel, blinding him. Shizumaru turned away as her screams faded into that screaming light, too shocked to respond.

"EeeeeaaaaAARRRRRGHHHhhhhhhh..."

Shizumaru heard something slump beside him. Panting raggedly, he looked over, and felt a weight press into his chest.

"Hff...hff..." Alma weakly held onto her staff as she lay on her knees, her shirt in tatters to reveal burned and bloodied flesh, but with an ashen smile that would have warmed the coldest heart. She swallowed once, her quivering hand reaching over until it clasped his. "You...you did it, Shizumaru...thank you..."

"Alma-san..." Shizumaru weakly squeezed her hand, smiling tiredly. "'Tadaima'..."

Alma smiled wider, tugging his arm a bit- and then her eyes went wide. She yanked him back, pulling him along with all her might, as a sudden scream burst through the tunnel once more. But this was no high-pitched war cry or banshee shriek. It was the scream of bone grating against bone, of fiber on fiber and sinew clashing with sinew. A vibration shook everyone to the core, chilling blood and shaking bone.

From where Altima had fallen, something was rising. A mass of bones...a Bone King.

"The Perfect Body," Alma breathed, raising her staff. "Shizumaru, stay back! Don't let it near the Void- she's still alive!"

Out of the quiet, a gravelly, demonic voice gave damning testimony to that.

"Prepare yourselves...-Powerless Ones-!"

Blarg. Sorry for not posting anything at all this round. I came up with a big blank on what to do. I was hoping to write something humorous, but nothing good came to mind. Hopefully, I should get out of this rut, and have something for the After Party.

One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was astonished and followed the beast. Men worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, "Who is like the beast? Who can make war against him?"

- Revelation 13

Canto VI + Noli Me Tangere + Sforzando


It was more horrible than Alma had imagined. Looking at it made her want to turn her face away, and yet, in its decrepit, mocking visage, it only beckoned her to look at it further. It rose from the ashes of the fallen Altima, yet Alma knew it was none other. That beautiful, glowing white face that had once belonged to the Bloody Angel gave way to a King of Bones. That was what it was- a collection of the slain. Immense and towering, it was given four great wings, batlike and crimson. Its vesture was of a great skeleton, musculature given to it in the form of bones. Its head was a chipped, yawning skull, the top of which was split and shattered but given a great crown of bones, horned and awful. From head to toe it was stained with blood and decay, and looking at it, Alma felt she might go mad.

So this is...Altima...the Perfect Body. The Arch Angel...

Alma looked to and fro as the beast appeared- only through her will and Shizumaru's had she broken free of the Bloody Angel, but now they faced a greater threat. A fight on two ends- one, the Bone King Altima, risen and surging with power far more titanic than she'd ever seen. On the other, the Void Creation, born free of heaven and hell, destined to reduce all to nothingness unless one of the three Chosen gave it the final blow. Brave Testament battled it, his scythe hacking and reaving against its flesh, but Alma knew he would need help, direly.

She clasped her staff and rose up. Weak as she was, she had the 'potential'- and with that, she knew what she had to do. Alma whipped her hands together, twirling her staff in front of her, and faced the rising angel. "Deterge vanitatem et ostende veritatem...the Beoulve Lineage's skill of power! The trophy of besting the Bloody Angel! Ultima!"

In an exact mirror of the spell that had shaken Shizumaru, Alma pushed her hands forward and unleashed the final skill she had learned. Her muscles tensed and her body went rigid, but all of her concentration went into it. With a rising yell, she shoved all of her chakra, all of her remaining magic power and all of her essence into this final skill. A great green aura rose over her, then shot forward in a quick warp, casting a sylvan glow over the azure light of the tunnel. They were close now, so close to the end of the world- but she had to try!

The Ultima spell ignited, blasting the Bone King with a huge controlled explosion, matching the power of Shizumaru's Muramasa draw-out. Alma braced herself against the blaze, her hair whipping over her shoulder. Eagerly she reached up and grasped her Barette, the gleipnir strand that had aided her all throughout. Tears broke past her eyes at the touch- that the Void would wish to render it to nothingness, that Altima would wish to corrupt it! It was all so stupid of them...so stupid and wicked...

She sagged to her knees from exhaustion, her breath heavy and strangely warm with a bronze odor. Alma turned her head up- and closed her eyes in pain, wanting to strike the floor.

The Bone King hovered there, not giving the slightest sign of any pain.

"It is useless, my Body...return to me, or you shall suffer before I join with you again!" Altima brought its great arms up, claws the size of swords caressing its deathly crown. "I will crush the Void, grind it under my foot as I sit upon the Skullthrone! Give me the true power, and I will set the universe free with my absolving truth!"

Alma grasped her staff. "Shizumaru...stop it."

Shizumaru looked over, struggling to get to his feet with the Muramasa. "Nani? Stop what...?"

You've been brave, Shizumaru. All the thanks in the world could not do this warmest gratitude in my heart justice. Alma turned her head back up, facing ahead of her. "Stop the Void," she said. "Kill it. No matter what you have to do, kill it. I dare not speak those words, but the Void is nothing I can heal or care for...not like what I face now. You must stop it. It's all up to you." She bent her head. "I will stay Altima's hand...go."

"Alma-san, I-"

"Go, go!" Alma reached over and tried weakly to shove him back, unable to find the strength to do so. "Please! If you don't, we're all dead! Fight it! Destroy the Void!"

Shizumaru growled, not releasing the Muramasa...but took a step back. "H...hai," he said. "But, stay there! I'm coming back!"

He rushed back, and Alma knew he didn't plan on fighting the Void. She would have to do this quickly, then. She turned her head up, wishing upon wish it didn't have to come to this. But every cause needed a martyr, didn't it? This was the only way...

I will give my life to fight her- perhaps, if she bonds with me, I will be able to buy some time... Alma bowed her head. I'm not running away anymore. I think I've done all I can, given these circumstances...I hope.

She grasped her staff, stroking it as though for the last time. I have so many I could name, now. Friends, enemies, family, allies...I bid farewell to you all. Ramza, Delita, Charene, Agrias, Deruta, Mustadio, Uncle Cid...Shizumaru, Vincent...Testament, Vice, Mature... She squeezed her eyes shut, feeling her heart break. Elmdor...Marquis Elmdor. Find your peace when I strike this last blow...please don't di-

A hand came down on her shoulder. Alma went still, and turned-

...impossible!

"History needs no martyrs, Miss Beoulve," Marquis Elmdor said, waving up the black sword- forever sin, something in her mind whispered- in one gauntleted hand. He was glad from head to toe in the red armor of a Nipanese samurai, like Deruta had been- but this was no normal armor. She'd seen it on display but once- the Genji armor. In one hand, the black longsword, Forever Sin- in the other, the purifying blade, Chirijiraden. On his back, the Genji Shield, and his beautiful silver hair spilled over his shoulders.

Pugnator venisse. A fighter has come.

"Ma...Mesdoram," Alma said, suddenly moved to say his first name. Her cheeks would have flushed red with shame for doing so, had tears of joy not started carving down those very cheeks. "How...?"

Elmdor offered a rare half-smile. "You called me. My time is short- you've but called my spirit- but with this..." He lifted up the Forever sin, his gaze turning focused. "With this...I will repay the promise to your brother."

Alma smiled- then stopped, as her staff suddenly went a little lighter, and another hand fell on her other shoulder. She saw Elmdor's eyebrows raise in calm shock. Eagerly, she turned her head, wondering who-

Oh...

Her vision became even more teary, and her heart gripped until the edges of her sight turned dark, but she saw him, clear as day. His muscular figure was packed in black-and-silver armor, his long gray cape falling to his knees- the same type of cape that cascaded over Elmdor's back. His hair was honey blonde, just like hers, except that sharp goatee she had tugged at as a child ran down his chin in the same hue. In one hand, his unique, curved bronze-colored sword, and the other gripping her shoulder with that tender yet firm grip, and above them all, happy eyes that beckoned tear after tear to fall over her cheeks.

Alma swallowed, almost choking on the name. "Zal...Zalbag...?"

Her beloved older brother was there, his encouraging smile seeming to be painted on his face. He squeezed her shoulder, whispering to her.

"Yours is a quiet heart," Zalbag said, "but in quiet hearts blossom the most courage."

He smiled again, then looked to Elmdor with a slow nod. The samurai monk returned it, and the two of them faced the Bone King Altima with her. The spirits of the two Arch Knights- one dead, one living for the third time- raised their blades, and charged with brisk war yells, leaving a cleric with a surging heart behind them.

Friends so close to my heart...you were with me all this time...

Elmdor drew his Forever Sin up, his eyes blazing with light as he moved. He was a blur on the wind, a deathly blur of black, crimson, and silver. Even the Bone King would have to admit that this was no mere man she faced. Marquis Elmdor was an oni. No demon, fallen angel or not, would ever match his speed- or his courage. "A debt repaid, and no wish unrequited!" he yelled. "Bone King Altima, I will yet live to see you dead! Draw near to darkness and release the seal of the sacrificial lamb! Forever Sin!!!"

Zalbag brought his own blade up, swooping in from the other side with a ferocious cry. In life, Zalbag Beoulve's name was enough to bring the head of Cidolfas Orlandu up with sheer respect. He had attained the rank of Arch Knight through the destruction of evil- to which he had dedicated his sword. "Many stand equal with the Beoulve sword, but in our hearts, none may stand against a Beoulve!" Zalbag cried, driving his sword forward with a ferocious cry. "Destroy Sword- delete omnem temporem!"

"Try my patience not, you fools!" The Bone King Altima raised his spiny fingers, calling up energy with all his might. His scream rang to the heavens, across time and space that rapidly neared a close. "Lux vitae, esse turris potentatis! Omnis Ultima!"

All-Ultima. It is a great power- one fashioned only through millenia of destruction. Altima...yours is truly a power worthy of being called great. Holy. Complete. Perhaps even my magic cannot hope to face it. But, these two...Zalbag, my brother...Elmdor, my friend in another time...and Shizumaru- all of them are right. What drives them is something that does not drive you. You say you are set free by truth, that by truth you can lead the world. You say you want my trust...time after time you would approach me, begging for it. You offered me many things- friendship, power, love, eternal life. You may have the ability to give me some of those things, momentarily...

...but they're yours forever, when you are brave enough to reach out to them.

It ends now, Archtempter.


"Virtus in cordibus tranquillibus floret. Iustitia est mecum. Per animam meam, Altima, cave. Cave. Omnis Holy."

Alma raised her Healing Staff, her eyes focusing with a level of hope she hadn't felt in a long time. Her skin began to glow with that beautiful white aura that Altima only dreamed of truly attaining. With the strongest release of chakra to ever shake this part of the universe, Alma's power flourished in her Complete Magic- her All-Holy- and came forward to meet the All-Ultima of the Bone King. The holy spell clashed with a black spell, the Arch Knight swords clashed with bone, and the resulting flash tore into even the Void Creation.

Courage blossoms in quiet hearts. Justice is with me. Through my heart, Altima, beware. Beware.

---

Cue theme- Altima the Perfect Body. Then switch it to whatever makes you feel like you can kick ass.

Testament's attacks were the epitome of relentlessness--the scythe-wielding Gear tore into the Void Creation's Aura with intense speed and merciless power. Caught in his own blazing halo of power, the gold form of Testament kept pressing further and further at the restrained dark god, his scythe burning with pure light as it tore into Anko's possessed powers. It had reached the point to where the Gear had become a true reaper of souls, and his weapon severed the spiritual instead of the physical. The emblazened reaper's burned as he rent, tore, decimated the Void within Anko with sheer, brutal force. The creature continued to scream with every stroke, until it gathered enough energy to fling the dark saviour away. Then the Void Creation gestured, and seven white orbs that all possessed a dark core appeared. The orbs floated directly around Testament, shooting small, focused beams of energy to disable him. He responded by sending a mental command to Zio without switching movement, and the golden succubus blocked all the shards of energy with her own scythe as she teleported, creating a makeshift golden barrier around the empowered Gear. In response to this, the Void had all the orbs merge into one spot in front of Testament and Zio, and began charging for the beam attack again. Testament moved in to intercept, but the orb fired small beams that would have done considerable damage had he moved a bit faster, to protect its master.

The enraged Testament gestured with his hands, tracing mystic symbols in the air as they sprang to life without his bidding--five pentagrams appeared, interlocked within each other, as they eached formed a central point for an enormous overlapping pentagram that combined them all, blazing with the same gold energy Testament possessed.

Despite my hatred for most humans, it has been proven to me that not all of them are without merit or worth! My eyes see that the majority of their weak spirits are controlled by beings not so dissimilar to this one, who manipulates lives at will for his own intentions! However, beings such as Alma and Dizzy transcend the evils of the world, with their faith! With their hope!

I will take their charges upon myself! I will stand against oblivion for the triumph of my will to live, and others strong enough to believe! I will become that faith, that hope!


"An existence that promotes nothingness should cease to exist itself! I will make you feel the wrath of all the souls you have tossed aside for your ambition!"

"CHINISOMARE! GRANDU NIGHTMARE CIRCULAAA!!!"

Even as the Void Creation focused and emitted an enormous blast of obliterating light, Testament's flaming gates opened to release billions of vengful souls, writhing in a devastating blast of anger and rage. They overswept the blast of power with ease, and tore into the Void within Anko with a vengance. Testament saw the girl's eyes flash human for a second, the Void's stranglehold on her mind weaken, the powers of the Creator loosen over her body.

"Zio! This is the finishing moment! Become my power!"

"Yes, Master!"

The succubus turned into pure golden energy, which wrapped around Testament's blazing scythe. Upon connection, the scythe let out a power trail that streamed off for miles, expunging spiritual fire from the base like gas poured into a bonfire. Testament leaped at the young woman, his eyes flashing with resolution.

It is a technique I have not used since then, to sever lives from bodies instantaneously... How fitting that it should be the final stroke now, to expunge the presence of darkness from this Light-blessed body! I will finish this here and now! Watch me, Daisetsu!

He barreled into the weakened Void Creation, the being caught off-guard... and then sent his blazing scythe through every fiber of the woman's body. The darkness in her spirit, in her eyes screamed in extreme agony as it was forcefully ripped from its host, expelled by Testament's Genocide Uproar. The movement through space and time paused as Anko remained floating there...

And reversed.

-------------

Alma Beoulve - Tenshi Kain - 2 V-Votes
Hizame Shizumaru - CarlyCheese - 2 V-Votes
Testament - Dry - 10 V-Votes

Congratulations, Dry! You are the winner of the Survivor X competition!

Anyway, as a tribute to Dry, and his victory over the Void Creation... say it with me now!

The Void Creation is... DESTROYED!!!

A winner is Dry! XD Great stuff, man, I'm sorry I didn't get to brush shoulders in-character with you more- but hey, we can fix that in the after-party. ^^ Well-deserved win. Congrats!

Carly- I said it before and I'll say it again; you told a damn fine story that was entertaining, and that's all that matters (anyone silly enough to take OOC in regard- for anything- needs to take a lesson in Good Sportsmanship 101). Congrats to you for getting this far and coming within a hairs-breadth of the victory. ^^ Next time, bishoujo-san, you shall prevail! Fine job.

Draco, Krizak- Wayne may not have wanted to go on, but either of you two would have made a better finalist than I- indeed it is so! I'm proud you two got that far. ^^ Likewise, great job.

And a big standing ovation from me for all the rest of you, sponsor and sidekick alike. This has been some of the most fun I've ever had in one of these! You are all schway to the schway power. Thanks.

(If you're expecting some sort of closure thread, joke's on you. I need sleep, and tomorrow is the end of my vacation. Epilogue post might take varying time to make, depending on how available I am during this week.)

Whee! I actually wrote something!

Not really that funny though. Here's me trying to flex my crappy fight scene muscles. Sorry if this screw's up anything you had planned, Bowling Pin.
____________________________________________


"Blow me, bitches!" Airman yelled, sending another blast of wind into the two demons. Smoke emanated from his turbine fan as it began to over heat. "How did- Schiztt! ike that, you fu-Schiz-zhtt! flesh bags?!" The robot master's speech was scrambled, his voice modulator damaged in the brutal battle.

"How pathetic...." Kojima replied as the winds died down. "Is this what Capcom's Megaman series has been brought down to? Once we end your pitiable existances, Rupert here will buy out your company just to scrap it!"

"What the heck is he talking about?" The Wilybot thought as Allen Snyder and Captain Falcon began their attack. The spandex clad super hero went low, using his custom Falcon Kick, aiming at Rupert Murdoch's feet. As expected, the Viacom executive jump to avoid it, leaving him in midair as Allen unleashed his fearsome Fire Force upon him. The Demon held up his arms to shield himself, when the former US champ began a string of punchs and kicks.

He stopped however, as Murdoch landed, quite gently, on his fist.

"H-how...?!" Snyder gasped. The demon was just playing playing with him, as evidenced by virtually no weight being felt on his arm.

"sTupID HumAn!" Murdoch mocked in an inhuman voice. He followed his taunt by driving his foot into Snyder's jaw. He was flung back by the force, but Setsuna advanced to keep the pressure on the grimly calm CEO.

He started with a crossward slash at Rupert's midsection. Blocking with his left arm, Murdoch reached out with his right with blinding speed, planning on ripping the wicked swordsman's heart out. Forcing every muscle in his body to move, he brought his infamous Sword of 80 Day's to block the ferocious blow.

"YoU piCKEd tHe WrONg SidE, trAiTor!" Murdoch snarled, ready to strike with his freehand. Setsuna pulled back to avoid the swing, and rushed forward to run the demon through. But Murdoch caught the blade in mid-lunge. "ANd SO ENd's The lIFE oF A loWlY DEMon!"

Setsuna simply smiled back. "True enough."

"FALCONNNN~"

"WHaT?!" Looking back, Murdoch's face finally revealed fear, as Captain Falcon prepared his tramemark(literally!) attack.

"PUNCH!" The blast sent the demonic business man directly onto the Sword of 80 Days, impaling him on the fine blade. It wasn't over though. A now enraged Rupert Murdoch raised his hands up, gathering energy to crush Setsuna in a fierce hammer attack.

This energy though, was snuffed out in the iron grip of the Hulk, who clamped his right hand onto Murdochs smaller two.

"Hang on tight!" Hulk ordered the swordsman. With that, he pulled up as fast as he could. Setsuna held firm, and the evil Rupert Murdoch was slashed messily through from his chest down. Letting go of the unholy corpse, the warriors did not waste time to watch it melt away,instead moving on to the other foe, Hideo Kojima.
-----
The game creator had been weakened by the relentless attack by Tingle, Adol, Dan and Airman. Seeing Murdoch fall, Kojima began employing stealth tactics to fight his foes more safely, using invisibility and teleportation to take cheap shots on his foes.

"Aiiiieeeee!!" Tingle screamed, falling to the ground after the game designer popped his ballon. A quick recovery by Adol saved the wannabe fairy from having his head cracked open against the floor. But the demon followed up by

"Quit pussying out and fight like a man, Kojima!" The Pimpmasta demanded. His only answer was a kick to his ribs from behind. "Agh!"

"Tasf oot s'eh! Doog on si ti!" Alec Guiness' head on a stick proclaimed. The surprise attacks continued. An elbow to Falcon's neck, a claw swipe to Hulk's eye, a kick to a nearby Sol Badguy's crotch(did you think you could escape this Ex? Never! ). A push to Airman's back sent him into Max's rifle, jamming the damaged robot's chest fan and heavily and damaging the gunman's weapon.

"Hahahahaha~!" Kojima cackled. "It's hopeless for you! I mastered stealth with my MSG franchise! Did you really think you can land an attack strong enough to finish me off when you can't find me?!"

"He's right..." Max thought, unable to tell where he would attack next. "Damn! It was hard enough hurting when we could hit him! How are I supposed to land a decent shot when he avoid's us like this!"

"Easy! Just switch controllers!" A new voice proclaimed.

"Huh?!" The nine warriors turning to see a young man approaching.

"Just switch to the player two controller! He should lose some of his powers after that!"

"What the hell are you talking about!" Tingle asked, floating back skyward on a new balloon.

Jason facepalmed.

"Ugh. Why did I even bother." The alchemist asked himself. Vader appeared beside him as a huge demonic dog, fitting the hellish surroundings full unholy beasts. He reached into his P.E.R.C. for a formula, knowing of one that could make the invisible visible. "Revealer!"

Kojima's form reappeared, his illusion destroyed by the young man's spell. With that, The warriors struck back with a vengeance! Tingle started by surrounding the dereanged gamer with bombs. Before the demon could act, Max unleashed his heaviest elemental blasts upon the maniacal franchise maker. As the bomb's detonated, Airman fired another gust, turning the explosions into a column of fire.Then Adol and Falcon rushed in, almost crushing Kojima been a shield charge and a Falcon Kick. Teleporting to escape the two attacks, Kojima reappeared only to get pummeled by a Triple Break attack from Allen Snyder. A Justice Fist finished the combo, sending Kojima sprawling onto the ground.

"Damnit! Even my teleport transmissions are detectable now!" Was all the stunned Hideo Kojima could think of before Dan jumped on to him, pulled him up by his shirt, and brought his hand back for the finishing blow.

"SHINKOU~ PIMPSMACK!!!"

A black streak filled the air as the contents of Kojima's skull came bursting out, compliment's of the fierce right hand of Hibiki.

"Nice job." Jason commented.

Dan smiled back. "Thank's, but this job isn't over!" And the squad of ten continued their battle with the demons.

Congratulation Dry31!

...

I just noticed something. The previous Survivor tournaments were held in other sites, right? I noticed that those of you who have recently registered (Feb 2003) appear to be the veteran players who have known each other for a while. Did you guys migrate here or something and are moving the tournaments here?

We have a forum where we all gather to. Here...

http://forum.randominsanity.org/

We've held two tournaments there in the past, though the location of each tournament is decided by the host. The next one will be held in the summer, by Baka.

There's more to it, but I'd rather avoid the long lecture on the history of FFOS/RT/Survivor.

Congragulations to Dry! A winnar is you! Er... yeah. Huzzah for interactions, and suchlike. *nods*

Psycho Power J: Most of us have migrated from the Random Insanity forums, which was formed... er... before I joined the tournaments.

Anyway, that's where this particular Survivor originated from (besides the sick imagination of Kyo, of course ), though I doubt we'll be staying for very much longer. After all, it's not called the "Wandering" tournament for nothing. *nods*

Oh, and one last thing... People demand award ceremony!

EDIT: Curley, you beat me to it.

I'm sure many of us will join you at some point. You are of course welcome at SRK. We NEED intelligent members. Oh, and where ever you have the next tourney, POST HERE ABOUT IT! I can try to get more of the SRK crew to participate.

First off, a great congratulations to Dry. It seems like just yesterday you were writing Garai from CC in play-script format, and now here you are, pulling off big fights, gettin' down and dirty, and saving all of existence. We, the pirates, raise our mugs to thee!

But no less congratulations to Tenshi and Carly, who both penned stories so vivid that I've come to look at their characters in different ways. Don't ever leave us, you guys.

Y'know, when I came to SRK for the tourney, and I saw the difference between the SRK and RI members - in both personality and writing style, I wasn't sure of how the tournament would all come together.

As it turns out, there's some pretty cool writers at SRK. The Damned, in particular, comes to mind, with his portrayal of King. Now, I was raised on Capcom, so I'm oblivious to all but the most commonly-known SNK game characters (other than in Samurai Spirits and Last Blade, which I often enjoy a bout of), but for the kind of character King seemed (to me) to be, that was a smashing job.

And then there's Bowling Pin...damn, man, that story was the most confusing thing I've seen since...maybe Serial Experiments Lain. I'm still reeling in confusion as to how Kyo's mind lives in the body of the Incredible Hulk. I felt...touched by the presence of Hideo Kojima, or something.

Cheers to the merging, and to the fresh, new faces that bring their own sense of style and stories to tell.
