[PG-13] Chakra Twilight (IC Thread)

[The Imposter]

Azakaban Prisoner
Realm of Harry Potter

Tristan was in full control over the small army that he had been skin graphing. The student at the end of the hall was no exception. Being in control he made sure the student didn't turn around as Tristan hurriedly crept to a stairwell in the opposite direction. He saw Shawn's motion wanting answers but now really wasn't the time to talk. Tristan waved the other two over to the stairwell before making his way down.

The steps winded downwards for quite some time, with small places that lead to other floors in between. Tristan's plan however invovled bringing Shawn to the basement where the procedures were taking place. The plan was simple: after Shawn saw what was taking place Tristan would send him off to get his cousin, Shadow would follow in a distance just in case Shawn tried anything stupid. Tristan would arrange the two to meet with part of the 'resistance' against this threat only to meet a certain wizard that Tristan was controlling. When the time was right and everything was in place the wizard would imprison them with a spell and the two would be dealt with accordingly. The whole thing definitely took more planning than Tristan was use to, after all he solved most things with his raw strength but oh wouldn't the others be impressed by his clever plan.

Before he realized it they were at the basement door. Tristan motioned to Shawn and whispered.

'We believe this is where the enemy is brain washing the wizards, we need to be careful. I want you to see with your own eyes what is happening here, then you can decide on whether you want anything to do with it or not. I believe though that there is no way you can just walk away from this, seeing what is becoming on this realm. We need help...you and your cousin could really contribute to the cause. Either way be careful opening that door.'

Vincent had just dropped off Amanda at her house, and now he was on his way home. He had a lot to do, and now was the time to start ‘doing his job’ so to say.

The dark portal opened in the bedroom of the house, and Hyuga walked out of the portal. He was tired and not in the best of moods. All he wanted to do right now was to get a hold of that man, and find out exactly what he wanted form him. But it looks like that is not going to happen for a while. He walked out of the room and down the hall, when he heard the door open, and Amanda announce that she was home. He quickly ran down the hall and down the stairs to see his daughter in the living room. He was ecstatic to see that she was home safely. He kept his composure as he walked over to where she was and gave her a hug. “Good to see you home dear, and I am so glad you are safe.” He said as he loosed his grip on his daughter. “So where is your mother?” He asked not truly knowing what to expect.

Dark Forest
Realm Unknown

Chastity was now not paying much attention to Wrath, since the stranger had hit him with a powerful attack sending him flying into a tree not far from here they were. Then suddenly Qiang was at the stage that this was all taking place. Not many of the Aridorans were left thanks to Humility, and this brave woman. But the threat was still the same. It would be until they all left this realm. ‘This is due to a poison but…” Chastity was saying, but was interrupted by the stranger.

“The poison is not the problem. My blood that I gave him is holding that at bay.” The stranger said as he tried to get back up off of the ground. He struggled to his feet. “What his problem is…” now it was his turn to be interrupted.

Wrath had regained himself and quickly made his way back over to the stage. “My blood!” Wrath said finishing the young man’s sentence. He was smiling even though there was traces of blood coming from the corners of his mouth. The force that threw him into the tree did some damage to him, but he didn’t let it get to him. His body can take a beating, he will just have to have Cross heal him later. “My blood is highly corrosive, and it is slowly eating Jace from the inside out. Soon he will die from internal bleeding.” Wrath said without losing his smile.

“You are a cruel monster!” The stranger said as he felt the muscles in his legs screaming from the effects of this man’s blood. It was taking time for it to eat away at him, but he could tell he would lose the use of his extremities soon. They needed a healer, and maybe the young lady was right.

“Well it takes one to know one” Wrath said as he charged at them with his sword in hand. He was going to cut down Ash, and make sure that he would be unable to save the traitor. For he was the only one that would be able to truly help him. He aimed his sword to pierce Ash’s heart.

Ash was in no condition to dodge the attack completely, and he didn’t know what the other two would do. So as soon as wrath got close enough he moved slightly to the right. When the blade pierced him it hit his lungs, but missed his heart. “Get out of here!” Was the last thing he said before he blacked out from the pain.

Wrath pulled the sword out of the man chest, and let his body crumple to the ground. He was one tenacious person, and he had a respect for that, but this man still had to die. He raised his sword once more, but this time found himself at the receiving end of several ice shards that pierced his body, and drove him back from the impact of the attack. He looked up to see that there was also a wall of water forming between him, and the others. “This will not help you at all,” Was all that he said. He had been two careless in this fight, and received a lot of damage. The two men would die soon, and that was enough.

Sebastian was pleased that the vines found there intended mark. A distraction of the senses could be deadly, as he found out earlier, but this mortal was no match for him. He was a demon that served his master no matter what. As Ace struggled against the vines Sebastian Grabbed ahold of the vines with his left hand, and had a firm grip on them. He was not going to let him go now. He had him in his grasp, and that is all he needed to finish this fight once and for all. He was going against his master orders though. He was not using his full power. For he refuses to show his true form to anyone wile in his masters presence. Then Ace shot a burst of light in his direction. He couldn’t dodge properly while holding onto the vines so he would have to make a choice. Let the energy hit him, or relic the vines and dodge the attack.

He decided to let the attack hit him straight on. He didn’t want to lose his advantage in this fight. He closed his eyes, and prepared for impact by bringing his arms up to protect this chest and head. The attack hit him pushing him back. He could feel that there was some damage to right arm that he had in front, but the arm that was holding the vines was unharmed. By the time he dropped his arms, Ace had almost made it to him. “This dance is reaching its climax!” Sebastian said as he quickly tugged on the vines, to increase Ace’s speed. Soon the man would be within grabbing distance, and if he could get a hand on Ace it would be all over for him. No matter what he still had his vines that were wrapped around Ace’s body.

Michel was not a bit happy with the fact that his attack was blocked by a wall of water. What had helped her he was surprised to see that it was someone he knew quite well. He was one of the people that was involved in taking his realm. “Long time no see Quan. Are you wishing to finish the fight that we were having before we were rudely interrupted by that Sylph!!” Michel said with a sarcastic tone to his voice.

Quon quickly moved in front of Alinä as soon as Michel started talking to him directly. He didn’t look back at the girl as she thanked him, he was not trying to be rude but his mind was in another place. He was growling lowly as he remembered the events of that time. They had come into his realm, and joined forces with Custos to destroy them, but that was not the truth. They used them to find the prime force. And they found out that he was one of the prime force’s host. They were hell bent on getting to him, and his little brother that was the other half of the prime force. But he thought that he died a long time ago. They succeeded in taking his brother prisoner, and Michel and his little pet were the ones that were trying to take his prime force, or convert him. By any means necessary.

Michel saw that Quon was distracted, and that was all the time he needed to close the distance between them. He took his sword and wrapped it in flames, and slashed at Quon’s chest. Whether he concerned or not was not the concern. He was just seeing what the girl would do.

Humility saw all that was happening, and didn’t like the way this battle was going. It was not that they were outnumbered that was the problem, but the fact that they were truthfully unprepared for this. Two men were down, and Ace was starting to have problems, Alinä was not use to fighting someone as good as Michel, but she would have to learn. He opened his mind to all of his allies. “We need to get out of here now. This in not in our advantage. Chastity we are heading home. From there I will request the Sages to help with the knights, as well as get Amanda from earth. Then we will need to find the last two knights as well. There is no time to waste. I will create a diversion, and get Alinä, as well as the spirit that is with her.” Humility concentrated his powers to create a blanket of fog. He hoped that this would cause enough of a distraction to get everyone out safely.

Shadow was just fallowing the two. He didn’t know what was in store, but when Shawn pointed to one of the students, that Gluttony had already turned to one of his minions, shadow didn’t truly know what to say. He knew that he wanted answers, but that would have to wait. He needed to know fore himself what this man was capable of, and not to trust them. Even if he has to make it where he was not trusted as well. That was the fate he has to endure. He continued to fallow not saying a word, for this was not his game, he was just a pawn that was being moved. None the less he keept his cool, and waited. Soon he would find out what was the whole story was for Gluttony bring this young man into his play ground.

Alinä listened wide-eyed when Michel addressed the blue creature directly. Quon or something like that was his name. Interesting. Obviously they weren't on good terms. It might be a story Alinä would like to hear, sometime in the future though. Even if she was able to extract the story from their minds now was not the time to try. She let out a stress-filled sigh and it caught in her throat as Michel suddenly lunged forward, slashing at Quon's chest.

Anger and panic came over Alinä. She had to help him, he had helped her, but how? If she could get in Michel's mind, not to completely control him, but just confuse him enough to distraction, maybe that would be enough for Quon to get his bearings. Taking a shaky breath she prepared to plunge herself into the unknown consciousness.

A thick white came over her vision. Alinä gasped, thinking she was dying. What a weird sensation, she didn't even feel his mind at all. Blinking a few times, she realized that she wasn't dying. The thick white obscuring her vision was actually in front of her. A fog. Where did it come from so suddenly? A hand grabbed her arm and she made a surprised exclamation, turning sharply to see where it came from. The fog was so thick she could barely make out the figure urging her to start moving. Dumbly, she stumbled after, dropping the pitchfork somewhere along the way. As she clumsily ran she realized she was being led by Humility. He must have made this fog to help them get out. Looking behind her she hoped Quon was okay. He had saved her after all and she felt a strong pull to try and save him too. Stretching out she tried to feel his mind, to see if he was okay. Everything was very muddled in the fog but she thought she was able to feel his twisted thoughts. Relief coursed through her and she hurried after Humility.

Dark Forest - Ace vs. Sebastian
Realm Unknown

Ace did not expect Sebastian to pull on the vines, and stumbled dangerously close to Sebastian's grasp once he did. This was part of Sebastian's plan; Ace could tell from the lack of hesitance on Sebastian's part. But Ace had no intention of playing along and possibly getting killed in the process. The vines that now entangled Ace also pinned his cape against his back, leaving Ace unable to displace himself with it, but he still had the staff on hand. Holding it in front of him, Ace pushed with it against Sebastian in order to keep as much distance between himself and the demon as possible.

It was at that point that Ace heard Humility telling everyone to retreat, which distracted Ace into briefly letting his arm go slack. "Easier said than done..." Ace said to himself, unable to respond back at the moment, but the abrupt cover of fog that followed the message could have been the break Ace needed now to free himself. Immediately he returned his focus to Sebastian, straightened the staff, and concentrated his magic through the staff into the crystal at its tip; the violet energy then glowed from the crystal as Ace released it point-blank at Sebastian. But this attack was also a last-resort; if it failed, or if Ace lost the staff, he doubted that he would have enough energy for another offensive spell in this fight.

Dark Forest - Qiang, Chastity, Jace, Ash, and Wrath
Realm Unknown

"Your blood may be corrosive here..." Qiang pointed out as the attacker was repelled by a watery barrier. "...but not on Earth." As the whole of the camp was then covered by fog, Qiang concentrated on the first place on Earth that came to mind: the chum supply closet where she had first heard the full story from Humility. In a quick motion, she formed a portal in the ground leading back to that supply closet and allowed Jace to fall through it.

"I'm going back to Earth to find a doctor for him." Qiang quickly said telepathically as the portal started to close, but she could not concentrate specifically on Chastity in the murky fog, thereby allowing anyone who took time to listen to hear her message. Without further hesitation, she slipped into the portal as well, just as it finally sealed itself again.

Azkaban Prison
Realm of Harry Potter

Harry failed to notice the attack until it was too late. Cross' power cut deeply into his flesh, and though his skin remained intact, the internal effect became clear as Harry began coughing blood. From the corner of his eye he could see Umbridge watching the spectacle with a childish glee, and this coupled with the pain clouded his mind.

And then, for some unknown reason, he began to feel dizzy and collapsed, not quite falling to the floor as Cross held onto his hand. At that point he felt nothing, and soon his sight began to blur.

"Let go, Harry." Said a female voice. Harry recognized the lady immediately as the one who was singing to him in his dream.

"Gaea?" Harry asked weakly. The mere mention of the name prompted Umbridge to look away.

"This is no longer your fight, Harry." Gaea replied in his mind. Feeling him about to pass out, she prepared to assume control. "Sleep, and let go."

He did. Harry's physical eyes were glowing a brilliant white when they opened mere moments later, indicating Gaea's presence. And with a shriek of rage, Gaea concentrated all of the raw power Harry had, violently pushing back all who were in the area, including Cross and, to a lesser extent, Umbridge.

Cross just watched as Harry got a look of surprise as the attack hit it's mark. The young man feel but didn't hit the ground. Then Harry started to speak to Gaea, but Cross didn't have time to react before she took over his body. The energy that was used by Gaea was powerful enough to sling Cross away from Harry, and slam him into the wall create an crater where he hit. As soon as he hit the wall his body was healing all of the damage he had sustained from the impact.

He then slid down the wall landing on his feet. He shook his head. And the dusted off his close. "well it is about time you woke up. I was getting tired of playing with your host. Now lets get down to business. My superiors wish for you to surrender yourself to us, and fallow our orders. If you agree to do this then i will let your host live. If not I am authorized to use any means necessary to achieve our goals." Cross said in a serious tone, but was still smiling.

Gaea seethed with rage at Cross' proposal. "Submit to the murderers of my previous host and the tormentors of the next as they crush him and this planet into dust? I don't think so!" The lock and screws on the door all simultaneously burst in a series of brilliant sparks as the door itself was pushed back. But instead of simply letting it fall, Gaea made use of Harry's magic, causing the door to come flying back and briefly smash Umbridge against the wall before then tilting back and falling with a loud thud on the floor.

"You fools think you have the upper hand, because you spend each day weakening Harry's body? You know nothing of what I am or what I can do. What I will do, if this abuse continues!" Gaea allowed her focus to idly return to the cell door again, levitating it sideways into the cell itself before then hurling it at Cross, aiming not so much to crush Cross as to pin him against the wall. "Heed me well, Umbridge; what you've seen is scarcely the beginning..."

Cross easily dodged the door by jumping to the side, as it came towards him since it wasn’t really meant to hurt him. As he jumped he went into a roll that allowed him to remained on his feet. He stood back up and looked at Gaea. “Well I don’t know much about the previous host, but I do know that Harry is the current host, and as you well know it is not possible for you to just come out and talk without a stimulus.” He said in a light tone as he walked towards Gaea once more. He didn’t know how she was going to react, but he kept his guard up.

“Oh and by the way Umbridge may have no idea why you are and what you are capable of, but I do. You aren’t the first Prime Force that I have had the pleasure of facing.” Cross said with a smile not stopping his approach. “You might say that I am an expert on getting you all to corporate, but that is neither here or there. I am with you right now, and I would like you to surrender yourself to my masters.”
