Part 3

[Noble 6]

Xion and Father Wolf arrived at the mountain base.
"Should you need me,just scream my name" the god said tiredly.
Xion nodded and stared at the old path that led up the mountain side.
"Renzo. I'm here for you." she said, her eyes glowing bright red. She could feel him, his presence with astonishing.

"I see. Good to hear then.," Malzahar said to Zelgius. "You should know though that soon we shall be moving out. I do not want to just waste an army like this and our work is far from finished." Looking out over his troops, Malzahar let out a small chuckle. "Watch over them for me. I must consult Shiruba-kaze over our next course of action. As usual, destroy any that enter my domain." Domain; Malzahar loved the sound of that word when used in conjunction with ownership by himself. He may not have gotten the location he originally desired, but the area he had received was no small trophy. It would serve him well in the days to come.

Opening up a portal, he walked through it and appeared at the lair of Shiruba-kaze. "Lord Shiruba-kaze, my army is prepared to sweep across the land. Where is a suitable place for it to lay waste?"

In the home of Cosmos, Mortekai stirred and awoke. It felt like he had been sleeping for days, weeks even. "Ugh, where...right. Cosmos' realm.," he muttered to himself. Yawning, he stretched himself out. "That was one hell of a sleep. It's amazing how rested I feel. I just hope too much time has not passed down on Earth."

"So you're awake. Sleep well?," the voice of Cosmos said throughout the abode, projected from the god who currently was still on Earth.
"Indeed I did. I feel better than ever.," Mortekai replied.
"Good. Currently we down here have been trying to get other gods as allies. Yuki and myself went to consult the Moon god, but he was not willing to aid us. Right now we're camping out. Would you care to join us?"
"I...," Mortekai hesistated. He had not exactly left Yuki last time on entirely good terms, at least in regard to the group. But now, rested up, he could see that perhaps he wasn't thinking in the best state of mind. "...Yes. I would be glad to join you."

No more than a second after he said that, Mortekai found himself standing next to Cosmos at the camp they had currently set up. Nearly falling down from the sudden teleport, he shook his head. "Give me more of a warning next time Cosmos. I did just wake up you know."
Laughing, Cosmos replied, "Whatever you say sleepyhead. I'll try to keep your delicateness in mind next time."
Mortekai just shook his head. "Sometimes I wonder whether you are truly a god or just a child in a Halloween suit."

Yuki smiles "Mortekai!" she looks at Senshin "Senshin, this is Mortekai, Mortekai, Senshin." she smiles

Senshin sighs, a little hocked by Mortekai's sudden appearance "I should be used to this by now...Pleasure to meet you."

Yuki smiles "As we were saying Senshin, we have friends searching for the Gods Gorgizo, Akatsukinosora, and Shakaku."

Senshin pauses "Gorgizo? Akatsukinosora?"

"Yes, our friends are serching for them."

"Do you...have any method of contacting your friends Yuki?" he asks darkly.

"Yes...why?"

"They won't find those two gods." he replies.

"What? Why?" She asks, shocked.

Senshin sighs "They...lost the game."

Yanaki smiles "You will?! Awsome!" he then swiftly releases her, and throws her onto his back, piggyback ride style. "To my uncle's!" he laughs happily "this is great!"

[CrystalPrison]

Akiki looked more than a little shocked as she was manhandled, but once she was seated she pulled back and punched him in the arm, hard. As far as she was concerned, it was fair play seeing as he'd tied her up, and he'd just commented on her lack of temper.

Jiro and Kenji shifted closer as well. They weren't stupid, they knew there was no use fighting with Yanaki, Yuki and the others had proved it as such, but they weren't stupid. When the elk began hunting people, the chaos they were causing, they knew it wasn't good.

[aura]

Shiruba-kaze sighed.

"Well Malzahar, we may need use of your army. However it may not be for an attack. My nephew and the others will hopefully destroy Yuki's forces. The only other force that we need to show concern for...Is the large human army gaing momentum on the edge of my domain..."


Shiruba looked toward the caves opening. Miles away Mikomi's army had begun mobilizing. They were heading toward the demons lair, more specifically Shiruuba-kaze's black spire of a mountain.


Shiruba-kaze took a moment to think. "This force is most likely going to attack us...They are much stronger than regular humans...Your Voidlings may have some troubles with them, however your new recuits should be able to handle them." Shiruba spoke slowly, almost depressing sounding.

"Kalut. You will join Malzahar in this battle." He spoke to the girl as she entered the room.

Kalut scowled quickly, then bowed."As you wish, Master...Master? What of Chisume?"

"Chisume." He called to her."If you wish to join the fray you may, however I do not want you to engage any enemies. Your eyes are still very precious to me..." Shiruba spoke.

[Noble 6]

Nexus was behind her. He stood behind kiri, the girl he needed for some reason.
His hand shot out, and grabbed her by the throat. He lifted her up and smiled as his hood lowered.
" my dear foolish woman. Why run from me. Necrassii is here, come with me." He said, his voice sounding normal.

((Xemnas voice))

[Inkshade]

Yanaki looks up at Akiki and smiles "Awww, you're so cute!" he says with a grin, revealing his pointed teeth "It's disgusting!" he says cheerfully "so adorible with the punching...." he mutters

---------

Yui looks confused "What game?"

"Shimogin's game. They both played one with him, and lost. the price of losing a game to Shimogin is in one way or another, your soul."

Yuki looks away saddly "Oh my...."

"Quite...I know they've lost because he showed me their souls. Two of his favorites as it were..."

"That's horrible..."

Senshin nods "Yeah...I justify it to myself though, because the games are fair and even. Either party could win...." he sighs

[Noble 6]

The original Nexus slammed his palm into Grestons chest sending him flying end over end into a few trees. He smiled when he felt his other two halves, one standing with Mizu and Hakudoshi, the other grasping Kiri around the neck.
"Play times over fool." He said fading away.

[Isis]

Greston stood up, grunting in pain, one hand on his chest. He gasped and ran weakly toward Nexus as he disappeared, "No!" When he was gone, he dropped to his knees.

Kiri gasped--or she tried to, but her lungs didnt seem to be working right. She twisted in fear to see Nexus looking down at her. She whimpered fearfully and began to struggle against his hold.

[shadow wolf]

as hakudoshi and mizu arived to see nexus with there meal in hand they attacked jumping towards him with a starving look in there eye. "YOU SHALL NOT TAKE MY DINNER!!!!" he yelled.

shinok just sat and smiled. "and what will you have us do lord shiruba?? ive been looking for a good reason to fight."

[outerlimits]

"It is good to see you too Goddess Yuki.," Mortekai replies, bowing his head in respect. "I would...like to apologize for how I've been acting as of late. It is just, Nexus needs to be stopped.," he said, looking down at the ground at the last sentence, "No matter the cost."
"I would not say that exactly, but he is a great threat.," Cosmos said with concern. "I fear of what it is he may do next."
"All the more reason for us to accomplish our quest. And dwelling on these lost gods only delays us.," Mortekai declares. "What are our other options?"

---

"A human army? That could cause trouble. Ha! As if such a thing-," Malzahar started, but then cut himself off. "Nevermind. I apologize. If you say they could be a threat, then that is a possibility I should not underestimate. I will not look like a fool again." Slamming his right fist into his open left palm, he proclaimed, "None shall stop the will of Chaos!" Bowing to Shiruba-kaze, he turned towards the exit. "Tell Kalut and Chisume to meet up with me when they are ready. I shall use my resources to see the path of the human army...and the best way to engage them." With that, he walked back through a portal and vanished from the lair.

Appearing back with Zelgius, he said to him, "Zelgius, prepare our forces. A strong human army outfitted with weapons dangerous enough to actually threaten us may soon be attacking Shiruba-kaze's lair. He has tasked us with defeating them, something I do not plan to fail at."

[The Legendary Ice Dragon]

"Finally some action" zlegius said as he raised his hand and a flock of void crows took to the sky high up, scouting the land looking for the encampment of soldiers (from a distance they look like normal crows) "My scouts will find their encampment" he said with an edge of eagerness. as he walked back into the massive armroy which had become his little workshop as he walked out he held a cape in his arms, it was plain and boring looking "This is a special cape that i had been given many years ago, it will save the wearers life once from anything, so say if your drowning it will allow you to breathe under water, till your safe. it only has one use, i have no need for it due to my massive armor, but the commander could use an ace in the hole like this" Zelgius said as he bowed presenting it to malzahar.

[outerlimits]

"Hmm, I see. Thank you Zelgius.," Malzahar said to him, picking up the cape. "Is it possible for me to change its appearance so it doesn't look so characterless?"

[The Legendary Ice Dragon]

"No" he said flatly "It will naturally blend in with what else you are wearing but it will still be just as boring. It was made this way for poor people, so that something this valuable would not be taken as a rare item."

[outerlimits]

"I see.," Malazahar mused. Taking off his scarf, he wrapped the cape around his neck, it formshifting into a replacement scarf that looked just like the old one...except slightly smaller. "It's a bit small, but it'll do.," he commented, opening up a portal and throwing his old scarf into the hammerspace beyond it.
