| Janus (thinking): "Well, not much choice here." He recognizes the extreme danger in this situation: Grey will obviously die if nothing is done. But he didn't want to do this before he had to... Maybe he could just seal it back into himself when it was done, or something like that. It happened all the time in the books and movies. Then again, the prospect of absolute power was a little tantalizing. But why? The real question was why... Why would he give himself the power to destroy? Philosophy... The words of that man came into his head again... ???: "Remember, Janus. We all have a power within ourselves. It is the power of gods. It is what keeps us apart from normal people." Janus: "But aren't we gods?" ???: "In a way, yes. But there are many definitions of "god."" Janus: "What is god to you, then?" ???: "God is power, to me. I hold that belief to be self-evident. Who has power has the respect and admiration, nay, worship, of whomever he or she sees. That is what god is." Janus: "Then why are there several different gods?" ???: "Anyone can be a god, if they are able to find the ability to gain power." Janus: "What about limits? What about potential and fulfillment?" ???: "There is no limit to potential. The only limit is what exists in your mind. The strongest men and women of the world recognize that they truly have no set potential. They learn whatever they can, and embrace it all, giving themselves power." Janus: "So then, the ability to learn is power?" ???: "You could say that. The only limit to learning is death." Janus: "So if you can't die, you have the potential for unlimited power." ???: "However far you wish to go..." Janus: "I see. Thank you... Axel." Janus' eyes opened wide, and a blue light glowed from them again! He spread his arms into his crucifix position again, rose several inches off the ground, and attempted something... Janus: "God is power. To gain power, one must gain knowledge. Knowledge is power. To gain knowledge, one must live. Life is power. To live, one must not be afraid of death. Therefore, to live eternally is to be among gods!" His entire body became enveloped again in brilliant luminesence! The light exploded outward, turning the blood-red sky from its crimson hue to a brilliant, unnatrual blue, with the combating forces mixing to form a sheet of purple that spread over the land.... Janus: "MESSIAH!!!" The light faded, but only such that the world was visible again, for among the grass stood a renewed warrior. Again, no physical change was apparent, but somehow Janus seemed stronger, more serene and at peace, than before. His eyes were closed, but when opened, they glowed not. "This is just a taste of the power the gods can attain... I'm not there yet. But as long as I live, I will only get stronger. What I really need to know, is if it has a point, an end to it all. Maybe that's why such powerful beings exist... They gain power simply to seek an end to the gain. But then again... Philosophical waxing isn't going to save Grey." Janus bent his knees slightly and energy began to form in his weapon hand, as he passed Satchel to his left side. His right hand glowed slightly, getting brighter and brighter, until... "But this might! Fist of the Grey Dawn!!!" As he said this, Janus rushed madly toward Odin, his hand a glowing battery of energetic power! He closed inward on Odin, and set Satchel behind him, punching forward and releasing a torrent of energy at Odin with a loud yell! The blast spread to the size of a football field, and with a final radiation of raw power, faded into the distance, and all was darkness.... (edited by Grey on 03-14-05 05:16 PM) |

| "Don't worry Janus, you've already saved him. Only one thing to do..." Odin didn't move, he actually sheathed his sword as the blast came towards him. He let his hands hand limply at his sides. "There is a true power, but immortality doesn't give it to you..." Odin looked down at the ground as the blast swept over him, destroying the ground where he stood, everything around him, he should've been completely disentigrated, but as the attack passed over and light came back, he still stood... as best as one can after being hit like that. Odin was about to fall over, he may not have bunged an inch from the attack, but he knew he was lucky to be alive. "The end you seek..." Odin feel to his knee, feeling the wieght of the world slightly lifting, every attack he experienced he learned about, how to block or even counter it. Some attacks couldn't be blocked or countered, he had to take them head on, but he could weaken damage. It hadn't worked this time he knew. The attacks power was enough to kill him 100 times over if he had been trying to fight it. "doesn't lie in life or in death... It is just hidden from your eyes, constatly right before you, tainting your judgement, making you run after it." Odin stood up suddenly, a blue aura surronding him. "No one realizes though, all they have to do is reach out far enough to grab it... Good luck Janus, you'll need it for what lies ahead. I'm still weak compared to what I could be, when I'm stronger I'll challenge you again, and then I'll see which of us is right. If power can only be obtained through life, or if it was always there." Odin's aura glowed brillantly and flashed, he wasn't there when the flash subsided. "So you beat Odin..." Fenrir walked in from the side, his gun already held up. "You're the first that has beat him... or at least made him run away. I believe I can trust you..." Fenrir seemed to be a lot different then when he had planned to kill Grey if he interfered. "***********~" Fenrir sighed having told someone the truth about what the world was about to face, maybe not a threat on the universal scale, but it would matter to everyone who lived on the planet. "We'll meet again." OOC that censored part is a whole part of the story that I'm working on, so if you want to participate I'm not telling you. |

| OOC: Fucking hell, man. I'm in like Flint if it's got that kind of stuff in it. Janus: "That was too much..." He sank to the ground, the power sealed back within him. There was no reason to use that kind of force, ever. He hated a part of himself for having that kind of fearsome force within him. On his hands and knees, Janus pounded the ground with his fist, tears streaming down his face. "No matter what I do... I can't stop myself from hurting others..." He kept sobbing, hating what lay within him, hating what he knew he'd have to do someday. There was no future for him, no matter how long he lived for. Time was just a constant, unwavering, unchanging, no matter what events he altered. That kind of power, no matter what it was, could not change the flow of time. It was a moment of weakness, for sure. But then, he looked to Fenrir... "You, please, before you go.... Tell me who you are. I've heard things from you I never should have heard, nobody should have known. It's thoughts like this that will tear a man apart. At least tell me who you are, so that I may remember your name when it all comes... If I'm still alive by then." |

| "I'm Fenrir, but you won't need to know my name, it'll be instict that will make you remember me." Fenrir turned to leave, but he stopped his back still turned. "Sometimes you can hold an entire planet's fate at the tip of your finger, but in truth, everyone who has ever lifted a weapon is weak. The tounge, the pen, the sword, the shield, all of them are weak, just as much as their users. Hold on for a while longer, you owe that much to Red, Blue, and Green." Fenrir walked off without looking back, giong at a slow pace. Before anyone knew it, he was gone. |

| The camera panned out on Janus' body, crumpled in a fetal position, as he sobbed just a little more. He couldn't help it. It had been hundreds of years since he had shown a moment of weakness, and now it was all pouring out... Grey: "What.... happened...?" The battered P.I. picked himself off the ground and gasped upon seeing the football-field-sized blast several hundred feet away. He heard Janus' sobs, and dashed through the grass, ignoring his wounds, until he found his friend. There lay a strong man, reduced to nothing but an infantile mass... "Janus... Are you ok? What's wrong? What happened? Who did this to us?" Grey reached down and touched Janus' shoulder, trying to rouse him from his state with a light shake of the torso. Janus was snapped to attention, and looked Grey straight in the eye from his spot on the ground. Janus: "You're alive, still... Good." Grey: "Who did all of this? Was it Odin?" Janus: "I'm beginning... to think.... we did it to ourselves." Janus got up off the ground, staggering to his feet. Already his regenerative abilities were taking effect again, restoring his body to its original state of being. There was no way to stop it, he knew. Not yet. Grey: "So was this a pass or a fail? I feel like it was a fail..." Grey noted the shards of glass still embedded in his side. He was bleeding badly, but he'd survive. Janus: "It was a pass, Grey. Definitely a pass." Janus looked back at Grey, who was still kneeling on the ground, and grinned. "Now let's try to figure out what we're gonna tell the guys at the car rental place." |
