Janus: "Star."

Before Star could enter, Janus took him by the shoulder and pressed something into his hands.

"You may need this."

Upon opening his hand, Star would find a small berry inside it. Yellow in color, with three red stipula coming from the flower of the fruit, it glistened with a magical glow.

"Eat it when you feel weak: it will give you the strength you need to survive."

Janus stepped back from his friend and let him stride forward with whatever confidence he could muster...

NeoBowser: "Dark Phoenix, are you? I had my share of problems with you where I come from..."

NeoBowser smiled as he stared at Dark Phoenix.

NeoBowser: "I'm probably the only one along with the stupid rat who can see what you truly are... but well, whatever. There is much hatred and despair in you heart, Dark Phoenix..."

Dark Pheonix looked down on the two warriors, completely ignoring NeoBowser. Both of them just stood in the very center, hardly a foot apart, just staring at each other.

Star: "Ready?"

Dracoon: "Your probability of winning is 2%."

Star: "I'll take that as a yes."

Star and Dracoon both jumped backwards and charged back towards the center. Dracoon's energy swords turned on instantly and he slashed at Star with more accuracy then power. Star jumped into the air and shot lightning down, which Dracoon managed to dodge.

Star: "Going to change the probability?"

Dracoon: "50%."

Star and Dracoon charged at each other again, this time Star comming out with clear dominance, striking Dracoon several times with his sword.

Dracoon: "Power Shot!"

Star didn't have time to move away from the attack and was consumed by the beam. The beam passed and he still stood there, more or less ok, but Dracoon had taken to the sky, sprouting energy wings as soon as he shot the blast, his buster cannon pointed straight down at Star.

Dracoon: "Ultima Shot!!!"

Star: (Damn) "Lightning Fury!!!"

Lightning washed over Star as he swung his sword upwards, hundreds of thousands of lightning bolts colliding with the beam. For a few seconds the lightning seemed like it was holding the beam, but then it started to give away. Star had taken the few seconds and moved out of the way, and then the lightning gave away, the beam crashing to the ground.

Star: "How can you still fire after that?"

Dracoon: "Power Core XIX."

Star: "Damnit..."

Dracoon: "I have energy for one last shot, and you'll be proud that this killed you instead of anything else."

Dracoon's buster cannon got longer and energy visibly gathered, Star looked up, but didn't move. The energy around Dracoon became stronger and it was easily becoming the most powerful thing anyone in the area had ever felt, including Ex and NeoBowser.

Star: "If you were anyone else, I'd be afraid our universe was about to become nothing. Without proper focus, this would likely destroy everything, but don't count me out."

Star ate the berries Janus gave him and kept looking upwards, focusing lightning around him.

OFF: I REALLY doubt the Dracoon's buster is THAT powerful. It cannot be stronger than Eternum (how could it be stronger that something that is Instant-death to every single life-form?) and the amount of the energy cannot be larger than what the Universe contains (and Ex was once infused with the hopes and dreams of every single being in the Universe, thus meaning that she has reached the maximum power limit possible).

...but... well... I guess it was just a manner of speaking, as to say that Dracoon's next attack is about to be really, really, REALLY powerful and that even Ex and NeoBowser would be impressed by it.

____________________________________________________________________

Ex and NeoBowser stared at Dracoon in disbelief. It seemed as if the energy of the entire Universe had all gathered at a single point: Dracoon's buster cannon.

NeoBowser: "... I NEED that Buster Cannon!"

NeoBowser transformed his Trident into a syckle and dashed toward Dracoon! The amount of power inside of it... if he could get his hands on it, he would be able to instantly return to full power and alter destiny so that this world may become a world of Evil!

Ex: "Oh no! You don't!"

Ex dashed toward Dracoon!... but for a different reason. She had to destroy Dracoon's buster cannon! Such a powerful weapon must not be allowed to exist... and anyway, there is no possible way Dracoon can take the radiations: everyone in the room exept herself and maybe NeoBowser are doomed sure at 3000%.

Off: Are everyone on the same side of that field or can we just see eachother. As I understand it Ex and Neobowser are on different sides of the energy field. Hmm, I have to learn to read replies. Anyway, what did Dark Phoenix mean with "Heh, I suggest you root for the fighter you want to win" that?

Bel thought: "I better make Neobowser drop that sickle." Then he flew towards Neobowser with incredible speed. He couldn

OOC They are on opposit sides of the field, with a force field stopping them from entering.

Oh and Zerodius, that is YOUR universe, techinically in this one, (not to be mean to any characters at all because fights are won with much more than power) Dracoon has the highest output of energy possible. This universe has many more fighters with incredible amounts of energy, this planet being one of the examples of how strong ONE planet can be. Dracoon is very different though, he is completely technology based and can change energies form into something much more powerful and save it all. His power is very controlled, see what Star mentioned, and he has been saving this for a while to use against Star only. Oh, and Eternum is instant death because it attacks the soul remember? This is practically, but not garunteed, instant death to practically everything if used (in)correctly. Not saying Eternum isn't powerful, it is increidlby powerful to things with a soul, but you'll soon see why this is so strong.


Dark Pheonix looked at NeoBowser, then at Ex. He was surprised they wanted to mess with this battle, but for either of them to think they could even break the energy barrier?

Dark Pheonix: "You're wasting your time, both of you. Even if you managed to break past the barrier, the energy inside here will push you back. Look closely, every little rock around Star is being flung back wards even as the ground breaks apart."

OFF: Actually, Eternum destroy everything regardless of it's nature. Soul or souless, biological or mechanical, mortal or immortal, physical or spiritual, everything is destroyed by it... but well, the spell will never, ever make an appearance in the RP and it is very probable my characters will never mention it.

Also, you're basically saying that Dracoon is the strongest character there is in Serra's Possibility... I'll take that into account.

____________________________________________________________________

Bel was unsuccessful in trying to strike NeoBowser.

NeoBowser: "MINE!!! MINE!!!"

BANG!

NeoBowser ran right into the force field! Ex, her, stopped just in time not to run into it.

NeoBowser: "What the... just great. A source of ultimate power is just in front of me but a stupid barrier keeps me from advancing... Why must Fate be so cruel to me?"

Ex: "Well... DUH!"

NeoBowser: "I didn't asked you anything, worthless pokemon!"

Ex stood there, shocked...

Ex: "W... W... WHAT DID YOU SAY?!?"

NeoBowser: "You heard me right! You're just a common pokemon!"

NeoBowser's Trident turned into a fake pokeball and then, NeoBowser mimicked the moves of a pokemon trainer.

NeoBowser: "Pokemon! I choose you!"

Ex: "AAAAAAAAAAAARG!!! KILL!!!"

Ex jumped on NeoBowser and attempted to strangle him!... but then, he kicked her and then grabbed her by the neck before slamming her into the ground and... well, I guess you understood by now that they're going to fight for a while...

OOC: Zerodius, Dracoon = Story GM. Dracoon Reploid = GM story character. GM Story character = entirely possible to be strongest being in existence. Simple logic that in this Possibility, Dracoon could be a god.

Janus grinned as he saw Star eat his Yggdrassilberry... Even wounded, that berry would return Star to full strength, and then some. No matter how powerful Dracoon's next attack would be, it couldn't possibly take out a fully-charged Star in one shot....

....Could it?

OOC As I said, he has the strongest damage out-put, doesn't mean he is OMGWTFBBQ powerful, he is still limited and what you're about to see/read won't be repeated in this story.


Dracoon: "Supreme Shot!"

Dracoon fired and the resulting blast was huge. The energy was bluish white and extremely big. The blast tore away the ground before it was even close, the force field shattered, but it kept heading straight down.

Star: "Damnit."

Star jumped from the ground and collided with the beam head on, a strange energy appearing around him. He disappeared as soon as he came in contact with the beam, which flew back up in streams towards Dracoon after hitting the floor, recharging the energy he used. Slowly the beam dropped in levels, it dropped to Omega, taking an orange appearence, then to ultima, taking a green appearence, finally to power, which was yellow. The beam eventually stopped comming and Dracoon landed on the ground, immeadiatly digging into his buster cannon, opening a hatch of some kind.

Dracoon: "How did he stop it? There is nothing more powerful then that, it defies all laws of physics and even breaks past his potential."

Odin: "What are you talking about?"

Stacice: "He can't be alive still, he was hit directly by that!"

Stacice rushed into the field, standing next to Dracoon as he took a glowling mass from his buster cannon. He took out a beam sword and stuck it into it, energy flowing into the beam sword and the mass stopped glowing.

Dracoon: "He did, I lost track of him as soon as he hit the energy and I know it would take longer than that to completely obliterate his body. The beam shouldn't have effected his body till it dropped down a level anyways."

Dark Pheonix: "It doesn't matter, he's dead, his presence left the tower. Now go to the next floor and don't think about fighting here!"

Dark Pheonix waved his hand and everyone was teleported down another floor, seperated again. Every single person was seperate from the others, in a maze of sorts. They each had 2 doors to go through, no clue what would happen.


Odin stood up, likewise Fenrir did the same somewhere else, and took a door, wandering into the maze and dashing as fast as they could.

Janus' eyes widened... He sank to his knees. Where did Star go? What happened? He couldn't even feel him in the time stream anymore... Had he sidestepped? Janus thought and concluded, no. He couldn't have. It must have been something else. Whatever the happening, he refused to believe Star had been killed. He was way stronger than that, it made almost no sense whatsoever for something like that to kill Star, especially after being charged up by that Ygg berry.

But that kind of power was terrifying... Who had a use for that? Who needed to go so far as to actually defy the laws of physics in order to accomplish their means?

Then, Janus thought... He had done it, too, at one point. Fenrir knew that. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, he guessed.

Star couldn't be dead, not by a long shot. With this thought fresh in his mind, Janus started off through the first door to find Fenrir, ready for the next challenge.

NeoBowser: "Beautiful... just beautiful... Dracoon's power... exceed all of my calculations. It will be easier than planned. Much easier it seems... I tought I needed the Runes to complete my plans... but who needs some old Runes when you have the strongest creature of the Universe in front of you? Dracoon... will make a fine Avatar... I am sure of it..."

NeoBowser stared at the ceiling.

NeoBowser: "I know you can hear me, Dark Phoenix! I know that you control this place... and you also know that your tricks won't work as well on me as they would on a normal mortal... as such, it is useless, laughable even to think YOU can prevent me from using the battle between Odin and Fenrir to my advantage!"

NeoBowser laughed and advanced foward...

NeoBowser: "If the memories my minions gave me about this tower years ago is correct... then..."

NeoBowser approached the wall where the 2 doors were... and attempted to open the third door (if it was still there).

...

During this time...

...

Ex: "OK... where am I?"

Ex stared at the doors... she seemed... annoyed.

Ex: "I hate those kinds of puzzles..."

Ex tried to see if there were any differences between the two doors...

OOC Remember Zerodius, they examined the top half, this is the bottom half and very different...

Bel and NeoBowser found nothing but a hard wall. Ex couldn't see anything different between the two doors, being exactly alike, and no temperture change or any change was behind either door.


Janus walked into a narrow hall, hardly five foot across. In front of him stood Axel, just waiting, saying nothing, not even directly looking at Janus. He looked ready to halt Janus if he came close.


Schwa was in one of the rooms, two identicle doors in front of him.

Fenrir stopped, ahead looked like a little girl, slumped against the wall. He approached carefully, trying to feel out the situation. He couldn't tell anything, but he could hear the girl saying something.

Girl: "What happened to mom and dad...? Where is everyone...?"

Fenrir approached the girl, but as he got closer, she vanished and reappeared further down the hall. Fenrir stopped to think...


Odin kept running and suddenly stopped as he noticed someone was running next to him, terified. Odin turned, but nothing was behind him. He dashed after the person, but as he did, the person disappeared and started to come back towards him from way behind.


Stacice: "What is this place?"

Stacice looked around, she had chosen one of the doors, but when she opened it, everything disappeared. She was in some type of field, but nothing stuck out. The only odd thing was that the sky was bright pink and she couldn't see the sun.

Stacice: "I hate these things..."


Dracoon opened a door and entered the maze. He moved forward at a very slow pace.


Luna: "Maybe I should've chosen the other door..."

Luna was walkign through a house, a rather large house, or at least it seemed that way to her. The house was at least 10x bigger than her own manor, and no one seemed home. She moved into one of the rooms but no one was there.


???: "Wake... up..."

Serra could hear a voice, but she didn't know what was going on. She slowly regained her senses one after another. A bueatiful aroma slowly started to wake her up faster. She could feel again and she felt like she was on a bed of feathers, it didn't take her a second to realize she was human, and mostly naked. She opened her eyes and looked around. She was on a big bed, but outside the bed, there was nothingness.

Serra: "Is this the afterlife?"

Serra tried to sit up, but felt a twinge of pain and knew it wasn't. She felt like something had just been drain from her, but she wasn't sure what.


Star: "So what have you done this time?"

Star looked around, nothing to look at though. He seemed to have broken a law of some sort. He was in some type of deminsion, not quite sure what. Nothing seemed hurt, but he doubted anyone anywhere knew where he was.

Star: "Well damn."

Janus' eyes widened and he instinctively grabbed Satchel, turning it into hammer form...

Janus: "You! What're you doing here?"

Axel, of all people... This HAD to be an illusion. It was completely and utterly impossible for Axel to be here right now.

But it didn't look like an illusion. Was it?

Maybe Origin's tower was drawing ideas from his head... As far as he knew, there was only one person other than Axel and his crew that knew Axel existed.

Maybe... Maybe the tower was putting the thing he feared the most in front of him?

But Janus didn't fear Axel anymore. Or maybe some foul vestige of fear remained in his head, just waiting for the doom and gloom situation that fear enjoyed most to approach? This would certainly be it. After seeing Star obliterated (or wiped from existence?), that Chimera that was barely affected by his attacks, and the knowledge that Fenrir had given him, Janus was certainly in a prime spot for fear to just take over.

He approached the illusion of his greatest foe...

OOC Schwa's out I guess, sent a PM and he said he can't catch up...

Bel opened the door and saw a forest in front of him. The door pushed him the rest of the way through. The forest had almost no noise at all and was perfectly silent. All was still, to still maybe.


Axel focused on Janus, his eyes becoming pure darkness. The darkness flooded from Axel's eyes right towards Janus, but the streams of darkness went around him and filled the area from wall to wall. Darkness slowly seeped into Janus' mind, forcing him to relive his worst night-mares in the order they began, as such, Janus rapidly began to become younger, so he'd be the same age as he was for each of the events to take place. (I know Janus doesn't exactly get younger or older in physical appearence.)


Fenrir approached the girl yet again, she disappeared and didn't re-appear. Fenrir moved forward a little bit, but he couldn't. He was chained by small strings, almost completely harmless in appearence.

Fenrir: "Damn... They are trying to chain me up now."

Fenrir pushed forward, nothing came from it. Fenrir started to push forward as hard as he could, transforming into a were-wolf, the strings didn't break or even strain. Fenrir pushed as hard as he could, but the strings seemed invulnerable.

Fenrir: "Damnit!"

Fenrir howled as his body started to change again, in a flash of light, he changed and broke the chains, but changed back to his human form. He walked slowly onward, feeling the strain on his body.


Odin: "Stop!"

Man: "I can't! The dark flames are chasing me!!!"

Odin: "What?"

Odin saw the man trip and suddenly explode into fire, dark flames burned through him and he was dead in a second. Odin looked behind the man and saw a giant looking down at him. Odin jumpe backwards as the giant swung its club at him. Odin looked around for anything, nothing seemed of any use.

Giant: "Gwa ha ha ha! How you like it!"

Odin: "What?"

The giant didn't answer, but swung its club at him again. Odin held his sword up and blocked it.

Giant: "You not know your own memories! You killed I. You pay!"

The giant tried to put more preassure on the sword, but the club broke. Odin looked at the giant, expecting more, but knew what to do now. Odin jumped at the giant and thrusted his sword right into its chest.

Giant: "UG! Not again!!!"


Stacice looked around again, she started to move through the field and sensed someone watching her. She turned to look, but saw nothing.

Stacice: "Hello, is anyone here?"

Stacice moved forward a little more and heard something behind her. She knew someone was here with her now.

Stacice: "Come on out, you don't need to hide from me."

A humanoid cat stood up from the grass and looked at Stacice directly. His eyes were different colors and the dull red cape it wore floated in the breeze revealing a weird type of gun at its side. The humanoid cat looked at Stacice one more time then nodded, it leapt towards Stacice, who side stepped quickly, and just kept going. Stacice rushed after it.


Dracoon kept going down the hall, nothing appeared to him and he made slow progress. It seemed he was immune to illusions, but the place had already taken a toll on him.


???: "Well Luna, its nice to see you again."

Luna turned around to a chair with an old man sitting in it. He had a wide smile on his face and looked at Luna like he was planning something.

Luna: "Father... What are you doing here?"

Luna's Father: "I'm here to make sure you never leave, to put you back in my care forever. You left without a word and with a huge debt."

Luna: "A debt? A DEBT!?! You were trying to charge me for living in your house you greedy bastard!"

Luna's Father's eyes sharped and he looked at Luna as if he was about to jump up and tear her head off.

Luna's Father: "How is that to speak to your father? I should punish you right now!"

Luna shrank back in terror, she knew what her father could do. He may seem old, but he might as well be a demon. He was renowned as one of the strongest energy fighters, he could hurt people where they couldn't stop it. It took every ounce of courage Luna had to finally run away. She looked at her father as his eyes started to glow, she found her gun and shot multiple times, just for the bullets to be stopped by some energy field.

Luna's Father: "You even dare to raise a weapon to me! You are my daughter and I own you until you can pay off your debt!"

Luna's Father approached Luna, ready to hurt her when she scammbeled for a different bullet. The bullet was a gift from Fenrir, he said it was useless on everything but memories and only worked if you believed it worked. It was out of character for him, but she trusted him. She aimed the gun at her father's head and fired. The gun shot rang out and the manor melted away, reveling to Luna she was in a circular room. It was made completely out of stone and there was only one path to go to. She got up and took the path.


???: "Serra, you are truely human again. All that virus that was the "Ex being" was drained from you."

Serra looked around again, but knew it was useless. She couldn't really move that well and knew she was at this beings complete mercy.

Serra: "Would you tell me where I am?"

???: "Yes, you're in a space I like to call... Empty."

Serra wondered what was going on when most of the bed disappeared, leaving on Serra lieing on sheets and under a blanket.

Serra: "What is here then?"

???: "Empty, is a place of creation... The universe came from this place, in fact all universes came from here. You were a creation of the universe, but ultimately you also came from here. You are the second person to ever reach the true potential of humans, one of my ultimate creations. You are special."

Serra: "Then why didn't you save Destin! Why not Hero! Why only me!"

There was a long pause as tears streamed down Serra's face. She had hoped both of them had somehow survived, but she knew it wasn't so now. Hero had disappeared and Destin sacrificed himself.

???: "I couldn't save them... Hero went on his own free will and Destin wanted to sacrifice himself. He saw the future and knew it would only bring more pain for everyone if he stayed alive. In my original plan, you two were supposed to have children, 3 of them. They would have been the ultimate humans, having power far beyond that of even the most powerful human on your planet."

Serra: "I don't believe you, Destin wouldn't have given up!"

???: "Please, look around you... My power is fading, nothing is here anymore. I have almost no power left to create, if to many things are destroyed, I won't be able to recreate it. Everyone is supposed to die at some point, but 3 people have caused my power to weaken by breaking this rule. Star is the first one, he was supposed to grow old and die, completely free from the trails he faces, his kids would've been strong and taken his place where he was, but he didn't do that. Fenrir was supposed to have been dead during the first Ragnarok, but he still lives, remembering clearly what happened. Finally, Hero was supposed to die, but he has only disappeared."

Serra: "Hero isn't dead?"

???: "Not that I know of... His power is still out there somewhere, it hasn't returned to me."

Serra didn't want to hear any of this. This being allowed Destin to die, anything it said was a waste on her.

???: "Please, forgive me, regain your strength here while you can."

Serra felt the bed reappear under her and she relaxed, quickly falling asleep again.


Nino had blocked Dark Pheonix's magic and stood on the field, trying to search for Star. He had truely disappeared, but that wasn't possible. She knew he hadn't died, he wouldn't have died like that, she longed to see him again. She didn't want to go long without him.


Star fininshed charging up a massive wave of energy, comparable to Dracoon's, but not as focused.

Star: "Ok, just got to repeat this!"

Star let the energy flow out from him in a beam that circled back toward him, the strange energy appeared again, and he disappeared as he came into contact with the beam.


Star: "What I was just here!!!"

Star started mubling, wondering how he could get out of here.

OOC: I'm gonna be going away til monday night, so I'm making my last post here til then one hell of one...

Janus: "No.... No, not this, anything but this!"

As the darkness enveloped him, Janus clutched his head in his hands and screamed, the meories flooding into his brain, a torrent of insanity that he'd hoped he'd never live again.

A flash, and he was just a man, his bag just a bag. He remembered his death.... The car accident, the unintentional death, the replacement for his situation. Snippets of words that people said to him came back hard...
"You died? Wow, you're one lucky bastage!"
"I'm dead? You're kidding me! I can't be dead!"
"Well, truth be told, you weren't supposed to die......"
"So then, do you want a job?"
"Videogames. They need a diety. It sounds stupid, I know, but you're really not gonna fit anywhere else, according to the way you wasted your life."

Another flash, and he remembered meeting Axel for the first time. Shaking the bastard's hand! Of all the despicable, horrible things he could have done, Janus shook his hand. He respected him! What pain surged through his shattered mind was unknown, unfamiliar. He knew only that it was there, and that it refused to subside.
"My name is Axel. Welcome to the Radiant Order. Here, you will find...."
"I can't believe this. This is unreal, it can't be possible!"
"......The most incredible people you've never met...."
"....These people, they really just do this all day?"
"......wasting their lives......"
"I don't think it's right that they should be forced into complacency because of me!"

Another flash, and he recalled his training. The grueling, mind-numbing, skill-building agony of constant activity and unending alertness. Meditating under the sky for weeks on end, without food, water, or sleep... A beating for him if he slipped up once. He couldn't die a second time, so it only served to build his resolve.
"We WILL make you stronger, no matter what. You need to learn to survive in their world."
".....It hurts, it hurts........"
"When can I eat next?"
"Eat? You don't need to eat."

A flash again, and Janus remembered Axel's corruption... The first time he ever heard the words "Grey Dawn", the battle he had, and the intense realization of just how much more frighteningly powerful than Janus Axel was... He could have died, but Axel spared him.
"It holds within it far more than just material objects....."
"Grey Dawn...?"
"Get out of my sight, and don't come back until you're sure I won't be able to kill you...."

The next memory, the first time he met the Agents. It was in North America, somewhere in the USA. A city, he thought... No, more of a state. It was too big to be just a city, but too small to be anything else. Buildings were being destroyed. He remembered his videogame powers... He remembered disaster striking in the form of a foreign army's attack. The Agents were there to stop the attack, and Janus tried to help. But... the Agents just took him as another enemy, but a specific enemy. Someone apparently they had been told to find and kill.
"I've got to help them!"
"You! You're the one!"
"He helped us, though...."
"Get him!"

Axel had told them to kill him. Or to capture him, if they could....

A Flash again, and a happier memory, giving the now shaking-on-the-floor Janus a momentary reprieve from the pain.


Janus (thinking): 'No... No, I just have to withstand it. I can do this, I'm strong enough.'

But he knew full well that the worst pain was yet to come, as he recalled his first meeting with Schwa...
"Stay a friend I will never meet, or show me the power of good and become my compatriot simultaneously?"
"Hey, you alright? You look pretty beaten up..."

And Origin....
".....do you mind if I hide out here for awhile? I seem to be being followed...."
"I don't care who you are, but breaking through my barrier is impressive."

And then, there was the pain...
"EVAN!!!!!"
"Ha, now do you see what the Grey Dawn can do, Janus?"
"Don't kill them, please! I beg of you!"
"I told you not to come back here unless you were sure I couldn't kill you!"
"You.... You can't!"
"......are we ok, Janus?"
"Yes..... For now."

The friendship...
"So then, you're gonna leave?"
"Only for a little while in your eyes. I've got to go and see what I can see with my own eyes."
"I see. Be careful, man."

And the worst part of all....
"Axel, you bastard! I swear it, I'll annihilate you for good someday!"
"You're nothing but a pathetic boy compared to me..."
"I'll.... I'll..."
".......can't even defend his friends."
"......bastard...."
"NOOOO!!!!!!!"

Axel's maniacal laugh could be heard echoing loudly in the background. Janus had to fight it with his own memories! But it was so clear to him, their bodies. Beaten, bruised.... They fought for him, and he was too weak to help them. But there had to be something in Janus' mind to overcome this.

And suddenly, there it was...
"Davis' the name. Detective Grey Davis, P.I. At your service."
"You're the best, you say?"
"The absolute! Need to find a missing person?"
"Not exactly...."

Yes, there was the key to defeating this... His friends. More voices flooded into the darkness, and there was soon a buzzing of good and bad, quickly overtaking the bad with the good!
"Listen, Janus... Listen to this very carefully. Pure souls never die."
"I can't sleep for a moment without some kind of catastrophe laying waste to the earth around me!"
"How did you fail Janus? You have the power of time on your side!"
"But I'll need help. That's why I called you here today, actually...."
"I will be back soon I hope."

And then there was nothing. Janus opened his eyes. He found himself curled in a fetal position, lying down. Somewhere....

But where? And what happened?

???: "Hey, wake up..."

Someone was poking Janus in the back with a twisted stave of some kind.

???: "Come on, wake up..."

She began to poke a little harder before she stopped.

???: "Hey, I found someone!"

???: "Is it?"

???: "No, he looks a kinda like you."

???: "Someone else is in the tower... Weird, i'll be right there."

An adult, with an extremely familier voice, but with a much more light hearted tone, started to approach, but when he got close, he stopped, and stared.

???: "Do you know him Star?"

Star?: "Yeah, but he's from the old world... I know this tower can show illusions, but this is impossible. How could Janus be here... He should've died before this world was close to being made."

???: "Well, you're from that world and you're here."

Star?: "Yeah, there's a difference though. Janus was determined to finish something, I'm sad to say I could never help. That last battle was glorious, but it was over 9 billion years ago. What do you think of this Riea?"

Riea: "It isn't this tower. It isn't an illusion, you know they don't work on me. He must really be here."

Star: "Yeah, lets wait till he's able to speak. Hear that Janus?"

Star leaned against a wall and Riea walked around a little, cat ears and a cat tail now visible.


In the next instant, the field was on fire, everything around Bel began to burn. Familier faces appeared in the fires, screaming in agony, wishing to die. Some pointed at Bel, runing away with looks of terror on their faces.


Fenrir turned a corner and almost ran into Luna. They looked at each other in surprise.

Luna: "What are you doing here?"

Fenrir: "The pathes merge... Since you came from that way, we can only go one other way."

Fenrir stepped forward, almost tripping. Luna reached out to help as Fenrir stopped.

Luna: "Whats wrong with you? Any problem should've been easy to over come."

Fenrir: "I had to do something desperate. I'll be fine in a while, but I'm going to need some help until then..."

Luna helped Fenrir as they slowly walked down the remaining hall.


Odin ran forward after killing the giant, turning a cornor and going halfway down the hall to an intersection.


Stacice: "Hey wait up!!!"

Stacice ran as fast as she could as the cat went faster. In an instant they were out of the field and had both ran into Odin. The human-cat jumped up and took a path.

Stacice: "Umm, hello Odin."

Odin: "Yeah..."

Stacice got off of Odin and helped him stand up, Odin dashed after the human-cat, with Stacice right behind him.


Dracoon was the first to reach the center, nothing had slowed him down at all. He looked around, nothing was there. Dracoon saw multiple pathes and his scanner said people were comming from each one.


???: "So did you enjoy your rest?"

Serra sat up again, waking up completely refreashed.

Serra: "How long has it been?"

???: "Your body has been asleep for 8 days, but only a few minutes have passed on the planet."

Serra: "How is that possible?"

???: "This place is very differnt, everything is subject to my will here."

Serra looked around and saw a dresser with her clothes on it. She put them on quickly and wondered what was about to happened.

Serra: "So, why am I still here?"

???: "I can't send you back without regretting it."

Serra: "Can you explain please?"

???: "That planet is doomed, everyone will die there. Fate has told me so herself."

Serra: "Fate!? What does that make you?"

???: "I am Creation, its true form. As such, I can not willingly send any of my creations to their death."

Serra: "You have to send me back, they need my help!"

Creation: "They don't need your help. Someone is their that will be able to make sure everyone survives."

Serra: "Please let me go!"

Creation: "I cannot do that."

Serra realized she was now standing on nothing, but she wasn't really bothered by it. She just couldn't believe this thing wouldn't send her back.

Serra: "I'm going to go."

Serra dug around in her sheath and brought out a scrap of black metal. She held it to her forehead and began to whisper.

Creation: "I cannot allow you to do that!"

Serra gasped as the air was taken from her lungs. She felt something start to weight down her arms and fell backwards, dropping the black metal. She tried to move, but she couldn't get up. Air filled back into her lungs, but she still couldn't move.

Creation: "I told you I can't send you back."

Serra saw a bright light, come from somewhere past her feet. She lifted her head up, but before she could get a glimps of what is was, she felt like a 500 pound wieght was attached to the back of her head. She realized that she couldn't move anything, she was completely trapped.

Serra: "What are you doing?"

No responce came.

Serra: "Hello?"

Only silence met her.


Star had developed a new plan. He had built energy so it was focused on the tip of his blade, strong enough to puncture the universe.

Star: "I really hope this works!"

Star slashed downward and everything went blank.

Nino: "Star wake up! You made it back!"

Star could feel Nino hugging him, he could feel his body had reached its limits, but he didn't know why. He felt perfectly fine in the other universe.

Nino: "I'm so glad you're back, I didn't know what to think."

Star opened his eyes and saw Nino looking right back into them. He laughed weakly and feel into a deep sleep.


Nino looked around, making sure no one was near Star. She began to draw some marks on the ground and soon had a complete circle around her and Star. She touched it and a barrier flew up.
