| "No! OOF..." Schwa is shocked and knocked upward. As he lands, he comes down on his palms and tries a backflip on his feet, but he can't even keep the handstand this time, and collapses. He doesn't get up. |

| Janus: "Oh, I didn't hit him THAT hard, did I...?" Janus looked over Schwa's body checking for vital signs. "Jeez, he's pretty old... What if I killed him? That'd suck, I'd have every Psi warrior in the universe on my tail. Let's see...." Janus prods the downed body of Schwa. "Hey, you ok?" |

| Schwa, without warning, finishes his backflip and lands on his feet. He's breathing hard. "I am fine. I believe I took one hit too many. But the wise man knows that nobody dies in a sparring match. Let us continue." Schwa focuses his mind for some melee combat. He takes off at a fast dash toward Janus, still feeling some effects from the positive energy. Once close enough, he darts behind Janus in the blink of an eye, strikes to the back, darts in front of him again and does a frontflip over Janus to confuse him. (Schwa, when focused for Melee mode, has the ability to use sudden bursts of speed.) |

| Striking Janus' hauberk, Schwa's burst of speed is interrupted by Janus' use of the forward momentum of Schwa's hit to do a quick twirl with his hammer. If the frontflip is continued, Schwa will most likely be hit while landing. After the spar, Janus leaps a few feet away from Schwa for more banter. Janus: "No, you're not fine. I can see it. Something seems to be troubling you, be it physical or mental. You seem sluggish, not at all like the Schwa I fought so long ago." Janus holds his hammer in the clock position, moving "two" to "three". "Certainly, your mind has increased dramatically in strength, I can feel the mental blows you deal at least a hundredfold from their older power, but it seems like your body isn't keeping up. Are you still just playing with me? I hope so." At this, Janus wonders if he's still under the holy influence of Schwa's Psi Vortex... "Did your sensae fight as you do? Did he train his body as much as his mind? I wonder. Take this not as an insult, my friend, I'm beginning to be concerned for your safety. As you said, the wise man knows that nobody dies in a sparring match. But you're a fool if you think you can keep your physicality at the same stage as your mental capacity." Janus holds his hammer out behind him, as a rush of heat and cold energy charge into the hammer, the head of which has been spinning, creating a tiny whirlwind at its end. Four elements. "I can continue on with you. As I said, this isn't over yet, and I still haven't really shown you how much I've improved. It's been 50 years for you, but it's been at least 500000 for me." The fifth element will have to wait... "Please, Schwa. For the sake of your life and our friendship. Tell me if we go too far..." |

| Schwa ends up taking the hit, but recovers and lands in front of Janus. He's at a kneel, bleeding and breathing hard. "Janus, listen. When I was young, I was physically fit but mentally I was a fool. That is because I believed in mercy. I have learned that a real warrior must not show mercy to his foe in battle, even while respecting him. Yes, it is hard, but life is just that. A Psi Warrior is the ultimate assassin against demons or evil creatures. Do you really think it's wise to show mercy to those kind of targets? Mercy is a weakness for us. I am trying to show you that in this fight. I admit I have gone too far, but I do not care as of now, and I believe Sensae may even be proud of me." At those words, the sky becomes cluttered with dark clouds. Schwa looks up, and sees a vortex of ungodly energy whipping up in the clouds. It takes him a moment to figure out what he just did. "Oops... this is gonna hurt..." "SCHWA!! I OFFER YOU THE POWER OF A GOD AND THIS IS WHAT I GET IN RETURN!!? YOU WILL FEEL MY WRATH!!!" At this, a huge grey beam strikes down from the vortex, completely engulfing Schwa and attempting to blow Janus away. OOC: This is not one of Schwa's attacks... in case you hadn't guessed... |

| OOC: And pride becomes prejudice.... Keep in mind, by the way, that in this particular battle, Janus engaged Schwa almost immediately after battling Star.... Janus: "Well, I knew this would come in handy...." As the dark clouds swirl and Schwa realizes what he did, Janus engages the fifth, and now sixth, elements! He drives his hammer head deep into the ground, as a swirl of cream-colored light engulfs it! "Alright, secondary test...... White!!!!!" White! The technique he learned not an hour ago suddenly resurfaces itself, but now it's charged with holy element energy as well as the other five parts... A pure light engulfs Janus as well, and covers him just as the grey beam tries to blow him away! The lights clash with each other, and eventually the grey light angles itself around Janus' aura... "This, Schwa, is what I've learned to do.... Not because I've killed demons, not because I've gained experience, but because I remember days that have long passed, and because I want to make bad things that have happened never happen, and good things that will happen come to perfection. Mercy is not a weakness. I've learned that, as well..." When the light fades, regardless of what has happened to Schwa, Janus has changed. He now wears a black pinstriped suit, black italian shoes, and black sunglasses. His hauberk covers the outside suit jacket. His hair is no longer grey, but white... "Schwa, I'm not just Janus anymore. I've become a peacekeeper. Allow me to reintroduce myself to you as, well...." 500000 years. As each agent died, Janus kept their specialties alive with constant rememberance. For so long, he did their work for them, letting the world believe that the oldest heroes they had were still alive and well. When Red died, Janus kept his suit. When Blue died, Janus took his glasses. When Green died, Janus took his shoes. As the three agents protected the world, so did Janus, remembering those who were once his greatest rivals, and then his closest friends. They each died for him. He vowed to correct this, and return their posessions to them someday. Until then, he let them help him from beyond the grave... ".....Agent White." |

| Schwa, grateful that the beam never hit him with full force, kneels with his eyes closed, just thoughtfully listening to what Janus says. After he is finished, he prays privately to Sensae, asking his forgiveness. At this, the dark clouds float away and disappear, and Schwa now looks up at the new Agent White, more than a bit humbled. "Okay, I see and agree with what you're saying now. The sparring match went too far, and Sensae almost took my life for what I said. But he knew what I was really thinking. Even Sensae showed mercy, and if I'm going to be the Grand Sensae someday, I must have mercy as well. "White, I will join you in your quest." Schwa stands up now, and a different beam strikes him now from out of the sky. This one has rainbow colors in it, and three shining orbs circle around it, a blue one, a red one and a gold one. When the beam disappears, the three orbs remain as well as a completely spirritually renewed Schwa. The old, determined Schwa holds his right arm in the air, and the three orbs merge into it. His entire right arm glows now, cycling between the colors of the three orbs. Schwa does a frontflip over to White, leaving images of himself behind him in an epic display of special effects, and lands right in front of White, arm outstretched. "This is my final test, Sensae says, to prepare me for the ritual. When your Quest is complete, so is mine. May Good overpower Evil for all eternity." |

| Janus: "Woohoo! That's another ally for me, then. You're gonna be one of my strongest friends, for sure. I'm glad to have you aboard." Janus takes Schwa's outstretched hand, knowing that despite the man's physical age, his mind was still youthful and strong. "Mercy is the greatest life aspect. Mercy to one's foe shows respect, it shows the opportunity for an honorable retreat, and it is a truly virtuous quality. I thank you for realizing this, and I thank you for joining my cause." He steps back, glad that Schwa is refreshed. "You've become very strong, Schwa. So have I. I want to see how strong you are, now that your abilities are renewed. I can only have the best assisting me, because I don't want anyone who isn't strong enough to die at my hands again. Can I please have the honor of being the first to test your power? We're both enough of a match for each other, I know it'll turn out well." |

| "Tell me where we're going and I'll follow. I'll follow you anywhere, from paralell universes to the deepest pits of Hell themselves. Just remember, your self-confidence is what will determine your success." Schwa waits for a response... OOC: I can see a new thread appearing soon in the Story Forum... right??? |

| OOC: Not soon... It's a really long way off, I still need to work out the plot. But I want my first attempt at making a story to be really, really good. Janus: "I knew I could count on you." Janus turns his back to Schwa, and begins recounting the events of his past... "I used to be a demigod, an anthropomorphic personification. It was my old occupation. Much like Death, Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Soul Cake Duck... I presided over the realm of electronic entertainment along with my compatriots, each of which centered around a certain form of entertainment. Books, television, film, if it kept a mind occupied, chances are it was associated with my organization. But my realm was unique: Video games, I found, lead to the deterioration, not just complacency, of the minds of the people I watched over. They glorified violence and horrible actions, giving rewards to those who engaged in them. Unlike books, they had no educational value. Unlike film and television, all attempts to point to a moral high road had failed in their industry. Unlike sports, there was no physical gain from them, save for the most extreme cases. It seemed almost as though there was no point to having them, other than to give ME power." Janus faces Schwa again, and continues his story. "So I quit. I quit being the "god of gaming", to live a life amongst those whom I felt I had corrupted. Without anyone to preside over these people, gradually I found the number of video game related crimes to increase, but amazingly enough, rather than fester without my iron grip, they almost killed themselves. Gradually, they became as mainstream as the other forms. But unlike in my area, the presiding beings still remained. To top that off, they were a bit offset by my defection to everyday life." He pauses. "This is where the White Light organization comes in. At approximately the same time, three young men had undergone special treatment to become the ultimate defense against the enemies of good. But rather than work for the government that had sponsored their treatment, they instead formed an independent vigilante team whose only aim was to make sure the world remained safe. With a strong leader, a brilliant mind, and the youth of the world working in tandem, they formed a powerful combination of purifying force. My compatriots recognized this up and coming superhero group as a force to be reckoned with, and invited them to find and execute me. Having lost most of the godlike powers associated with my former position, the only things I took with me from the position were my bag...." At this, Satchel comes to life and speaks... Satchel: "Heya." Janus: "...And apparently, the ability to manipulate time. I'll get to that later. My fellows staged several horrible events and blamed them on me, framing me in the eyes of the White Light. I was hunted. I had been hunted the first time you and I clashed, it was why I had to begin traveling at dawn. They might have found me if I hadn't stayed moving. Gradually, with the help of a person you might know, with Origin's help, I was able to show the White Light the error of their ways. It took a bit of convincing, and Agent Red actually almost died, but finally Blue knocked some sense into him and I formed an alliance with the three agents, so long as I could prove to them that I had done nothing wrong. I showed them that I was being framed, and they agreed to assist me in getting revenge on my attackers." Janus' face is suddenly downcast... "But it didn't work out. The four of us challenged them, we rose against them as best friends, and barely managed to escape with our lives. It was a complete fKitten Yiffer. I decided to begin to train harder, to make sure I could defeat them the next time we fought. It was during this time that I discovered that I could move through time at will, still. Blue assisted me in honing this skill, and gradually I was able to leave the world I lived in, and visit many others. I fought in all of the wars of the Earth. I lived many adventures, and gained many powerful items to assist me in my quest for power. I learned of my long life and my ability to truly improvise abilities beyond what I originally showed you. But most importantly, I met Star, the Time Champion. That, too, is an important event that I will detail." He pauses again, and thinks hard before continuing. "At this time I went back to my own time, to the White Light. They, too, had gotten stronger. We were all ready, or so we thought. The second time we rose against my enemies, they spared us no quarter. Red, Green, and Blue were brutally murdered after the fight of their lives. All three of them together could barely put a dent in my foes, and I myself was overcome. I watched them die before my very eyes, and was further tortured for years and years. Finally, I was cursed with the armor you see me wearing now. I was cursed with true immortality, much like Star. I had to live forever knowing that I was responsible for the deaths of my best friends." "I fled. Teleported randomly through time and space, trying to forget the pain that I knew I would endure for an eternity. I fought, and I fought, and I was killed so many times, but I never died. The armor kept me alive, no matter how much I wanted to die. Finally, I called upon the one person whom I felt I might be able to relate to. I called Star. I called him, and the two of us fought fiercely. We unleashed our powers upon each other at the very place where I had chosen to bury Agent Red. It was there I told him of my plight, and he told me to do something about it. He told me to get stronger, and to remember that I had the power of time travel on my side. It was then that I realized an inkling of the real power I had locked inside me by this armor, and it is now that I show you what I can do. I've chosen to don the equipment of my old friends. After 500000 years of preparation, I feel I am finally ready to set the last of my plans into motion." "I've begun a part of it already. I told Star to begin gathering allies. And I tell you, to gather allies for this as well. We will need the best. The strongest. And yet, nobody must die. Above all else, I will not have any person die at my hands. I've taken an alternate form of the three agents from another universe where I do not exist. They've agreed to assist me in reviving their brothers. I've also enlisted the help of an ace detective from Great Britain, a Mr. Grey Davis. He, too, is assisting me in my search." "Schwa, this is not just a personal feud. I've realized that entertainment does not need a presiding deity to keep human minds complacent. These people control the minds of humans. Surely you of all people realize the danger a lack of free will can cause for humanity? Our generations are turning into numb-minded fools; the true potential of human development will never be reached until they are awoken from their dazed slumber. Then, will entertainment cease to be a boring past time and truly become something that people can take pride in, for alongside it will exist a hard working world where we give back everything we take, rather than just consume and sit in front of our happy little devices all day..." Janus ends his story with a slump of his shoulders. It was draining, remembering and summarizing so many years... "So, now that I've said so much to you, I must know.... Do you still wish to join me?" |

| With a choked up voice, Schwa replies. "Even more so... now that I've heard your story. Listen, Janus... Listen to this very carefully. Pure souls never die. The very first Psi Warrior, Vix Watermage, discovered that if your spirit and soul have been freed from ALL evil, you go to the Etheral Dimmension for eternal life. That is because ALL souls crave the Living Assets, right from the time of their birth, without even knowing it. The more good they have within them, the stronger they are. That is why Good always defeats Evil. When they are enfused with the Assets themselves, when they actually become one with the Assets, they obtain the power of a god, kept back only by their physical body. That is what happened to me. I asked the Assets to become a part of me, saying a prayer that is powerful enough to disort dimmensions. That is how it is with all Psi Warriors. Since I have no Evil in me at all, since all my Evil was destroyed by the 3 most powerful things in all existance, the Living Assets, I am the perfect being to help people. If I die, it will only be a transition to eternal life... and the power of a god reborn! "Do you understand?" OOC: Psi Warriors are actually based off Christianity in real life. I can PM you the details if you'd like... |

| OOC: Fire away.... Janus: "Much better than I did before, that's for sure. So it's agreed. You'll spread the word to the greatest and most noble people you meet? I thank you, my friend." "I...... have one more request. Though we are both obviously pure beings, I would like the honor of doing battle with you, the both of us being the strongest we've been yet. This won't be a spar, Schwa. Though we won't fight to kill, I don't want you to hold back on me. Consider it a test of our new powers. After all, if we can't face each other, how will we face this great evil?" Again, Janus holds his hand outstretched to Schwa, this time as a confirmation of a duel. "You do not have to, I will not force you." |

| OOC: Okay, PM it is... "Janus, I would be glad to do so... but now is not the time. Trust your hidden powers, and you will soon see a time, I promise. Good luck." With that, Schwa thrusts his hand toward Janus. "Oracle Halo." Suddenly, Etheral Mending takes effect on Janus, restoring him to full health in 10 seconds... but something is different as well. Janus finds himself holding a gold ring, which has a braided pattern all around and two gems embedded in it on either side, facing outward; one is an Amithyst (purple) and one is a Ruby. "This gift was given to me by the Oracles," a telepathic voice calls to Janus. "You may borrow it. Learn to master it's power!" It suddenly becomes clear to Janus that Schwa is nowhere to be seen. |

| OOC: Sweet, another artifact. But, uh, what's it do? Janus: "Whoa! He's gotten better at that trick... A LOT better, I didn't even notice him teleport. Heh, another ally... that's awesome. Really awesome." He looks at the gold ring, wondering what it does. He tosses it up into the air and holds his right hand with fingers facing upward, as the ring lands neatly on his ring finger. "Yeah! This just might work. Now then... Where's my next destination?" A crackle is heard from Janus' wrist, and then a familiar voice rings out over it. Grey: "Janus, I've tracked the location of three people having a battle on another planet... Some guy called "Reydam" is there, along with the ninja Jarukoth, and someone I've never seen before." Janus: "Jarukoth and Reydam? Perfect, I can't wait to see them. What time?" Grey: "About.... 50 years before where you are. My time." Janus: "Good. I'm on my way." Janus holds his hammer out, and swings it in a wide circle, opening a portal to another time. Before he steps through it... (thinking) 'Schwa... Thank you for all you've done, my friend....' And then there were none... |
