| Alien Seph: "The incarnations are already here. I summoned them upon arrival, and now I'm ready to put my mental stability to the test! Also, while this is indeed right, it surely doesn't seem that way because, if I can already fuse the rest of my teammates with me, and then fight the current evil that stalk this world under that form, I could turn an at least beatable challenge into a way-too-simple one. In having ZeroNumberX, Headhunter, Havok, Ziodius: King of the Underworld, the even deadlier Zaromouth, Mewthree, a top secret project currently underway (who shall later be revealed in the story), and Dark Shadow's powers combined with my own, the only real 'challenge' would be in fighting NeoBowser to determine the fate of the Multiverse. Everything else would literally be a walk in the park, even Death Seraph, who Havok seemed to have a hard time discovering his weakness while fighting." | |||

| Meteo Prime smiled... Meteo Prime: "What a foolish attitude... you are talking about the Dark Kings, legendary Dark Forces! Death Seraph is a weakling compared to them! I strongly doubt the Guardians stand a chance against the UEN, even with their so-called "Doom Angels". Anyway... it is now time for you to face your fate!" The Meteo Prime began to emmit darkness... Meteo Prime: "May you drown into the emptiness of your own soul! Farewell, fool!" ETERNUM! Everything went dark around Seph... Ex: "This is my very last message. In order for the soul to be complete, the test must be completed. The final test is the death of your incarnations. Only then, you shall be reborn under your true form. Many beings before you attempted this test... but being an "Ex" being is not enough to survive the test. As your incarnations' souls will be merged, you will relive all of your life in a mere second or two... and all the emotions born from this experience will kill you... unless you truly is worthy. If you are the one, then you must not allow your own hatred to devour you. Do not let the emptiness devour your soul! Fight it back with all of your positive feelings! For it is the true power of the "Ex" beings, the reason why they can survive this terrible attack! "Ex" beings can summon the past and future to oppose the evils of the present. Go ahead and use your happy memories, hopes for the future, and positive feelings to repel the emptiness of the Eternum spell!" Thousands of blades made of emptiness came out from nowhere and pierced Seph's incarnations, transforming them into pure soul energy. Then, the soul energy was merged into a single soul... the real Seph... The final blade began to fall from the sky... it was now or never. Either Seph repelled this last blade and succeeded the test, either he would fall, dead. FKitten Yiffer was not an option. |

| As Alien Seph watched the blade fall from the sky, gunning for his head like an anvil, Seph sat back and thought deeply for a moment. He mixed pride and confidence with joy and happiness. He also sought not only feelings, but he tried using his imagination as a human sheild for the final blade approaching him. In his head, he flashed back to the time the spirit of "Ex" told him he had a special gift and that he was now ready to use it, that he had, himself, set the dampness of Ex's soul free the night he slayed the Mother Ex. The night his mentor, Gradius, told him he would have a positive future, and one day become a father of a sibling that would eventually become the meaning of all things sacred to his family, and to the day it actually happened. He imagined the very moment of his birth, when the 4 original Sephs eventually fused, and made him what he is today, thinking "where would I be without them? Nowhere!" He kept imagining, but the main thing he thought about was Gradius's last words to him, as it was his hologram inside of Seph that kept telling him "Never give up... trust your instincts!" He also thought about his family and the happy moments they've shared together, leaving out the moments regarding his evil older brother turned-traitor, Black Baron Knight (new storyline!) He kept dreaming and dreaming, dating back to the moments that made his life the way it is, leaving out any and every not-so-pleasant memory. The thing Seph most strongly thought about were his hopes for the future, and that is to bring peace to the world once and for all, so that he could return home to his family and live in peace. Seph kept fighting out of the agony and dispair that the hatred inside of him was trying to bring to his soul, not giving in to anything. He believed in himself. As he kept hearing Gradius's preachings "Confidence is the most important virtue", listening to Gradius' every hint of advice from start till finish. He had faith in himself. That he could overcome the threat of death up above. He kept believing, until...... |

| Off: Realised that this post lacked something very important: the second part of the post, actually! Anyway... tell me when you edited your post. ____________________________________________________________________ The gigantic blade crashed into Seph... SCLANK! But unstead of killing him, the last blade shattered on impact! Meteo Prime: "Hmph! I was wrong! You ARE the one... alright then! Open your eyes now! See what you once was... and once again is." When Seph opened his eyes, the incarnations were gone and his body had changed... or should I say, her body had changed. Seph had returned to her original form. Her physical appearance was similar to what was once Ex's. However, she was a bit smaller and she didn't have blonde hair, like Ex had. Unstead of deep blue eyes, Seph's eyes were green. Meteo Prime: "Shocking, isn't it? That's right, Seph! You're, in fact, a ZX-104 "Ex"... and you are also a girl. Anyway! Most, if not all of your friends will not recognise you for most of them never knew you when you was truly yourself." The Meteo Prime paused and made a few steps toward Seph... Meteo Prime: "Well... I guess my task ends here... and yours start now. Now, I will tell you what Zerodius has told Ex, before what should have been the final battle, years ago. The true power of the Dark Weapon is not it's dark power... it is it's power to mimic and amplify the power of it's wielder's soul. When the final battle will finally happen and that the source of all Evils will oppose to you everyone's hatred, you must use the Dark Weapon to oppose it with everyone's hope. Just like you were able to keep Eternum from consuming you, you must keep Evil from consuming our world. Now, I will teleport you back to the entrance... finally... I'm going to get some sleep..." Seph was teleported at the entrance. The door closed itself tight right after Seph was teleported outside. From the looks of it, it's not the kind of door Seph will be able to open. Seph heard a voice in her head... Dark Weapon: "Seph isn't it? Ex's memory image told me everything about you. I've been sealed here for years... I can't wait to see the light of the stars again! But that's beside the point. According to what Ex memory image told me before vanishing, you should first return to your friends. I do not know how they will react when they will see what you truly are but I guess that it would be nice of you to show them that you actually survived the trip trought the Energy Shrine. Furthermore, you can't go fight the UEN all alone, do you? You will need help from both your old friends and get yourself new allies." The voice paused... Dark Weapon: "Something is approaching, Seph!" Two "Ex" beings model ZX-109 teleported next to Seph... The two "Ex" beings were staring at Seph in disbelief... 8-01: "Hey, 8-02!" 8-02: "What is it, 8-01?" 8-01: "Well... I tought that all ZX-104 "Ex" beings had either comitted suicide or were killed long ago." 8-02: "Yeah... it's weird that we have a ZX-104 "Ex" being just in front of us, right now, while the last one died about a century ago..." The "Ex" being know as "8-01" made a few steps toward Seph. 8-01: "I do not know if you're some kind of memory image or something like that... but if you seen the life form know as "Seph"... be sure to tell us! Vice-Admiral... I mean Admiral Blakes is worried that Seph may have not been able to survive his journey. Furthermore, his son and his friends are worried sick. After all, it has been several months since he entered the Energy Shrine and was never heard of again." 8-02: "We could really use his help! For some reason, the UEN suddenly returned to full power and all of it's Dark Kings returned! Also, Ex vanished mysteriously and is nowhere to be found. Worse, the Guardians have perfected their "Ex" beings thus becoming a serious threat to us... but us, the Hunters, we still keep losing more and more agents as they turn to the Guardians. As long as the Guardians are busy fighting the UEN, we're OK but... the situation is bad... real bad..." CLOPS! 8-01 punched 8-02! 8-01: "That's supposed to be top-secret, you idiot!" 8-02: "Ooooow..." (edited by Zerodius on 07-22-04 11:39 AM) (edited by Zerodius on 07-22-04 03:29 PM) |

| Seph, now looking much different than before, pleaded. Seph: "I knew this would happen one day, and when it all came down to it, my past now becomes the lone trail behind me, leaving everything behind. Things are substantially changing for the better, and for worst, of me, myself. These are the sacrifices that are vital to my being successful, and living to see the day. I only did what had to be done, as I knew I stood virtually no chance of overcoming the great evil in NeoBowser in my past form, though I'm afraid it won't be that simple even now. I'll undergo a fusion between 8 of my friends to combine the entire Legion of Doom's power into one supreme being! But first we must wait until both the Guardians and the rest of the UEN are finished, leaving only NeoBowser to kill. Now, if you'll excuse me, I must go..." Seph grabbed the bag containing all 8 artifacts, and the Dark Weapon (if idle), and headed on back to headquarters... only to bump into Ex 8-01 and the unconscious 8-02. Seph: "I AM him! Or, shall I say, her. As miraculous as it seems, I made it out... alive. Though I was already aware that the Dark Kings had been revived since choosing to draw the Dark Weapon from the pedestal. Now, I'm back to who I was millions of years ago, soul repaired and all, but that's beside the point. I'll give Admiral Blakes word that I am back and am returning to him as I speak. I really should hurry back because they problably think I didn't make it by now, so goodbye!" Seph headed back home... Meanwhile, on his way back home... (Sargeant): "Alien Seph... good news! We have just obtained all the weapons we need to power our so-called "top secret projects", and Black Baron's old building has apparently burned to the ground! Kregan was apparently planning something, but we managed to foil their plans like we usually do and bust in through the building! Mission was a success..." Seph: "Good. Now, we will very soon be able to unleash our latest droid, and destroy both the UEN and the Guardians with it! We just keep getting more and more powerful with every creation, as this one is supposed to excel better than Havok in terms of high performance! It will be equipped with the best weaponry in the entire Multiverse, and is a future bot thus can't be destroyed using present-day means!"

| During this time... an unknow location... ???: "Cannot be destroyed using present-day means? This mortal is very confident... too confident. It shall be her downfall." Ganondorf: "Still, they have more than a dozen "Ex" beings on their side..." Mewtwo: "... and the Successor has successfully recovered the Dark Weapon!" ???: "It is not important. The Dark Weapon alone cannot overpower us." 02: "What about their latest creation? Their robots have been causing us many a trouble lately..." King K. Rool: "Why do you still worry? The Hunters are falling apart. Their agents are seducted by the Guardians' promises. Hunters are secret defenders of the world. Few are those who know about their legacy. On the other hand, Guardians are worshipped by billions of mortals and working for the Guardians is a very well paid job. We do not need to intervene. We should let the Guardians terminate what's left of the Hunters." Kamek: "You forget that the Guardians got "Ex" beings too and in mass quantities! And did I mentionned their multi-"Ex" being organism know as "Death Seraph"? The Guardians are definitely a serious threat." ???: "The Guardians may have a larger influence and they may have thousands of "Ex" beings on their side... but they still lack the power to overcome us at full power. The Guardians lack a power that the Hunters have. We shouldn't play with the Hunters. We should crush them as soon as possible!" Andross: "And what will we use against them? Their all-new ally, the Legion of Doom, has created a special virus know as the "X Virus" that kill our troops and turns them to their side. Not only that, but their battle drones aren't as hopelessly worthless as we tought they would be at first..." ???: "It is here that YOU will intervene. As powerful as these drones are, they still can't do a thing against... them..." Bowser Jr.: "Them? But they were killed during the last battle, years ago!" Mewtwo: "I wouldn't be so sure. Time has been reversed to several centuries in the past. Our troops were, thus, revived. The reason why they did not awaken was that the pesky electric rat, Ex Lightheart, had used her very last Life Force to seal them, along with us, in the Energy Shrine. Now that we are free... so are they." ???: "You understood everything, Mewtwo, as always..." Mewtwo: "It is nothing. I will send them against the Legion of Doom right now. They will definitely enjoy the slaughter. It has been years since they last killed mortals..." ???: "Do so. As for the other Dark Kings..." (all other Dark Kings exept Mewtwo): "YES?" ???: "Reunite our legions. During the Apocalypse, we began the war by proving our superiority to the world by destroying Heaven... and I think that we need to impress the world once again... it is time to show the world that we are back and that we mean business!" (Everyone but Mewtwo and ???): "YES!" All Dark Kings (exept Mewtwo) left... two other beings came... Kregan: "Sir! The Black Baron is here!" Black Baron: "It is a honor to meet you. You are a legendary being... and so are your deeds." ???: "Do not waste your breath! Did the plan work?" Black Baron: "Perfectly. They are currently pursuing a fake version of myself." ???: "Good... The mission was a success. Now, Mewtwo." Mewtwo: "Yes?" ???: "This is a friend of ours. Since he is not a Black King, he shall never become a official Dark King... but if I were you, I would start right now to look at him as an equal!" Mewtwo: "I do not know if it's safe to trust him..." ???: "I stared deep in his soul. He didn't turned to us becease that his side was losing. His heart has always been black with hatred and he longed to serve us. It is a honor for him to be here." Mewtwo: "If you say so..." ???: "Now, Black Baron, I want you to tell us EVERYTHING you learnt from the Hunters, even if it seems unimportant or trivial. Every detail is important." Black Baron: "Yes... where to begin." ???: "You didn't understood what I meant. I do not want you to tell me here what you found out... you shall transfer the data inside of your memory into a computer. Now, Mewtwo, you will now escort Black Baron to his new headquarters. Be sure that his journey is a safe one. The information Black Baron knows is vital to our success." Mewtwo: "What about our attack?" ???: "I changed my mind. You will escort Black Baron. I will direct the attack myself." Mewtwo: "Yes..." They all left. A few minutes later, the location self-destructed. (edited by Zerodius on 07-22-04 07:11 PM) |

| ZeroNumberX was hearing more transmitions! ...And he was reading them like e-mail! He heard every last word that they said... and Seph. It was rather a shame that ZeroNumberX was left on yet another good-news-bad-news scenario, but with the needed intel, and without the enemy knowing about it, Zero was clearly reading the UEN's playbook. ZeroNumberX then hurried towards the PlanetClass cruiser, and told Admiral Blakes about everything. He also did not hesitate to awaken Havok from his meditation chamber. ZeroNumberX: "We've got us another problem on our hands... so big a problem, infact, that we may have to work differently than originally planned. The good news: we know what they are up to, just as they secretly know what Seph is up to at the moment. The bad..." However, ZeroNumberX was cut off before finishing his sentence. Headhunter: "Seph?!?!?! So he made it!" ZeroNumberX: "Yes, but not the way we all know and are used to see him as... or, shall I say, she. Seph has rebecome her original self, true Ex form and all. Her soul is now complete, but her many incarnations have been terminated in the process. She now has one identity, and one identity only, though I'm convinced that 'he' won't entirely be a 'she' if, and when, we are through with the United Evil Nations and the Guardians." Headhunter: "Why is that?" ZeroNumberX: "Fusion. When the time comes to dish out the "ultimate evil"... the so-called "NeoBowser" aka "AbsoluteEvil" and his several forms, most of us must unite with Seph under the form that will eventually be the only thing that can stand up against such a devil like him. I'm sorry to say this, but the Legion of Doom will only last until it all boils down to Seph and the final bout. We are so dedicated to teamwork that we just happen to be Seph's only chance at defeating such a monstrosity as NeoBowser. We will have to rebuild the clan from there, meaning that the Legion of Doom consisting of me, Seph, Headhunter, Havok, Ziodius, Zaromouth, Dark Shadow, and Mewthree; the original Legion of Doom, will be no more, but just think: if we manage to win this train wreck of a battle to say the least, we will be respected enough worldwide for people to want to grace us under our wing, and to serve and protect US! That should be more than enough to recoop what we had originally lost. Unfortunately, it will come at a price... a large one." Headhunter: "And just what is the 'bad news' that you spoke of?" ZeroNumberX: "We are about to be attacked. It seems the tables have turned against us this time, as we have not only Mewtwo's reinforcements to worry about, but Seph's evil older brother as well. If he knows what we know, we problably won't make it out of Xaviour alive." Headhunter: "You mean... Seph has a brother?" ZeroNumberX: "Yes. Alias Black Baron Knight, BBK for short. And he was evil. Long before there was Alien Seph, there lived the original ZX-104 "Ex" type Seph. There were many others of her kind back in the day, but she was supposedly the more gifted of them. The two sons were genetically created, one pure good, the other, pure evil. One tried to kill the other, and almost succeeded. Their two sibling's differences were so intense that it called for family separations between the two. And now one of them will end up killing the other, and live to tell about it. Isn't it ironic that the father and mother of two of the Multiverse's most supreme beings grew up facing eachother like this, in a battle of good vs evil? And isn't it ironic that the father and mother of the two happen to be two of the most legendary beings to ever have lived?" Headhunter: "Seph's life is very dark and gloomy, as is the tale of any "Ex" being's life." ZeroNumberX: "Indeed. Now we are hunting him. And since he happens to be much more powerful than Seph, we will have to fight him at our own risk." Suddenly, Zero and Headhunter both turned their heads as they heard the noise of glass breaking, knowing full well who it had to be. Havok: "So... did I miss anything while I was meditating?" ZeroNumberX: "You definately did not miss anything, except the fact that Seph has made a successful journey to the Energy Shrine and is on his... erm, her, way back home, and in the nick of time, too." Havok: "Why is that?" ZeroNumberX: "We are about to be in the middle of yet another dangerous attack, and not on the city this time... on us. We must contact NARC immediately." Headhunter: "I can't believe Black Baron would actually let us take off with his prized possessions like that so easily... or exact copies of his prized possessions. By making us pursue a weakly-secured building, coveted with a glass safe that doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to bust, he turned what would've been an almost impossible infiltration into a very easy one. Now we have everything we need to take down the UEN's Dark Lords and their henchmen." ZeroNumberX: "Too easy... and they called it a "tightly secured' building." Headhunter: "Actually, no building is tightly secured without Black Baron Knight or someone powerful, who apparently decided to take the day off. Now that we know where the real Black Baron is headed, I have a strategy to reach him and take the real Seph's brother down." ZeroNumberX: "They can run... but they can't hide! ...But I don't know, he's stronger than Seph was in his prime (Seph was a male back in his prime, that's why I called her that) and every bit as powerful as I am. Black Baron himself is not much stronger than Seph after she just conducted training months ago, but his Hellmet (yes, that's how it's spelled) is something I would look differently at." Headhunter: "If Seph fused with the rest of us right now, and then fought him, he/she would defeat him much more easily." ZeroNumberX: "Correct. However, there's some of us that Seph will be sparring, hence fusing the entire Legion of Doom into one supreme being. Gradius alone can take him. It's a well-known fact that the only being alive today that's any more powerful than Gradius is the Absolute Evil himself. Just imagine him, our latest drones, and all but 3 of us uniting together with Seph. With the kind of evil that exsists today, and with their power now fullfilled, Seph may have to conduct this fusion process earlier than expected. It's the biggest sacrifice Seph must make to save the rest of her people... us. I was the only one aware of this at the time, since I AM his/her son, but now you all shall be, too: Seph is sparring me, Ziodius and Zaromouth because we, apparently, are too important to sacrifice. There's no way Seph would give up her only child, and leave the Underworld, to which is now trying to be conquered, unprotected." Headhunter: "Whatever. Assuming that Black Baron is still alive by the time Seph reaches him with the kind of plan I have in mind, he will be a walk in the park compared to the other brotherly-lust scenario that we'll be having right here in Xavior. In short, the attack will be fronted by Mewtwo himself, the one and only Poke'mon specie in which no trainer has ever successfully captured... or is he really?" That saying caught Mewthree's attention. Mewthree: "Four brothers working against eachother in a fight to the finish... fancy that. But what will really tickle my fancy is my squashing my evil little brother like a bug, just like old childhood days!" Headhunter: "But I thought you were HIS evil brother, as Black Baron is to Seph." Mewthree: "Not exactly... I mean, that's what I thought, too. But after conducting some hospitality tests, it turned out that HE was the evil one. And that is why I must waste him: if we capture him, he'll be nothing but a loose end to us. Now, I may know how to deal with my little brother, but most of you do not! I'll deal with him, while the rest of you take out the rest of his minions, while I set up for the easy capture of the Poke'world's most wanted Poke'mon... or, should I say, formerly wanted." ZeroNumberX: "What's your point?" Mewthree: "Back in the day, it seemed that the whole Poke'world was after Mewtwo long before they knew me. When I came along, all interest in him died out, knowing that I was the superior of the two. Every day, there are trainers who scander the wilderness, and often times, journeyed far away from home, looking for me, never even thinking about stopping until the day came when they've finally found me. But who are they to think that they can catch me? If none of Mewtwo's predecessors were successful in capturing him, what in their right mind makes them think they have a chance with me? History shows, you can't kill Mewtwo... but you also can't kill me! When I seek him and his many companions, I will not only show a commitment... I will be making a statement! After all, with him captured, I've come to realize one thing... it's all in the family!"

| Off: There were NOT transmissions! The Dark Kings were discussing inside of an unknow location... but since the way the post turned was interesting, I'll overlook this. However, I would like to point out that Ex Lightheart is NOT Seph's mother. In fact, it is pretty much the opposite. Ex is Seph's grand-child... exept that she is not truly Seph's child since Seph never gave birth during her original life. Ex was created using Seph's DNA. True, pure "Ex" beings are created genetically, hence Zerodius being called their "father". Children of "Ex" beings aren't true "Ex" beings, they are half "Ex" beings. It is impossible for a "Ex" being's child to be a real, pure "Ex" being since ALL "Ex" beings ever created were females.

| Off: I just thought that would make an interesting storyline, but like I am for yours, you are more than welcome to comment on any storylines that I may post here, but before editing that, some thoughts... -ZeroNumberX's ability to "spy" in on any and every conversation between any pending person or persons may seem a bit cheap, especially if the discussions are the key to the spy defeating them (or even the opposite), but every technique has a weakness, and if either the UEN or Guardians finds that out about him, they can use it as a (fairly lethal) weapon against him. -I intended to release these details later in the story, but heck, I'll tell you now: Seph will be fusing with everyone in the Legion of Doom except ZeroNumberX, Ziodius, and Zaromouth when the time comes for her to do so, for the reason that they each have separate roles that they must maintain (after all, ZeroNumberX is Seph's son, Ziodius is king of the Underworld, and Zaromouth is his semi-guardian after finally setting their differences aside. Seph can't strip any of them of these responsibilities). -If and when the fusion process begins, Seph will then moreso become a "he" rather than a "she" since the characters Seph is slated to fuse with are all male. Seph will then be, under her fused form only, 1/8 (12.5%) female, and 7/8 (87.5%) male. In that case, all referrances to Seph will more appropriately be a "he" than a "she" (since "it" would then be more male than female), but "it" will actually be classified as a "mixed" gender. In that case, Fused Seph may also be referred to as being a "he/she" or an "it". Until then, whichever gender Seph is referred to as depends on the tense of the dialogue (present-tense speaking, "she", past or future tense, Seph will be called a "he"). Confused up to this point? If so, I can explain why. -Adding Gradius and the recently-discussed "droid" to Seph's list of fusion partners, and assuming that Seph must use one Linxus ring for himself to fuse with 7 others, that only makes 7 of them instead of 8. Why? Because I will actually be (very soon) revealing two new characters, not one. I only intended to create one, but for storyline reasons, I must make and reveal another to go along with it. Like all characters, each one will have a true weakness that enemies can use to defeat them, but you can't really "discover" them for yourself (even Scanning spells won't tell you directly). You have to sort of figure them out, just like with Death Seraph (or by using context clues). -The reason ZeroNumberX is a sibling of an "Ex" being and yet is male instead of female is because Seph gave birth to him under the form of Perfect Seph (which later became Inhuman Seph, and then upgraded to Alien Seph), his android form. If Seph would've given birth to him under his true "Ex" form, ZeroNumberX would've turned out to be female instead of male. -Zerodius was, in a way, Seph's father (though he didn't really give "birth" to him by any means). I figured the plot about Ex Lightheart being the other parent of him/her (and BBK) would fit in nicely with that storyline, but like a movie script, there will always be cuts, edits, and stuff to change the story around, so if you object to any storylines I may post in this thread, just tell me and I'll fix it. -I was rather in a hurry to post that last message, so there will be more parts/dialogue that I will be adding on to it once I edit that last post.

| Off: If you have comments, PM me. ____________________________________________________________________ Blakes heard the conversation and decided to intervene... Blakes: "I fear that someone wants to intervene in this conversation and change your plans..." An armor that looked identical to what Zerodius looked like was behind Blakes. (armor): "I am Z-0, Zerodius's messenger. Zerodius is currently using me to speak with you since he cannot return into the Universe yet. Zerodius's avatar's soul has been destroyed in the Universe, it will take a while before Zerodius can rebuild it. Until his avatar's soul has been rebuilt, I shall speak in his name." Z-0 paused for a while... Z-0: "Zerodius told me to tell you that your plan is seriously flawed and if you choose to go on this way, then we are doomed. Seph cannot be merged. "Ex" beings are not designed to be merged. Also, "Ex" beings lost a large percentage of their power when merged. While the being born from the fusion will be more than powerful enough to face NeoBowser in terms of raw power... I fear that this being's chances are lesser than what would be Seph's chances if she was alone. Remember, NeoBowser has more than just raw power. In order to defeat gods that were thousands times more powerful than he is, NeoBowser has designed and created many deadly spells and techs. These techs inflict damage on both the body and soul and break most know defenses. NeoBowser's mind control techs will make short work of the merged being... and if it is not enough, then all that NeoBowser will have to do is yell "Eternum" once and it will be all over. Only Seph can take this spell. Nobody else can." Z-0 stopped. It was as if he was listening to someone else... someone that only he could hear. Z-0: "Zerodius has just told me... Seph, stop doubting yourself. Stop relying on exterior power sources such as fusions or summons. Seph, just like Ex, has no use for exterior power sources. It is only by using her inner strenght that Seph will triumph. NeoBowser has the power to shatter all connections, all binds. Attemtping to defeat NeoBowser using a fusion is futile. Seph... Zerodius is believing in you... he believe that you can finish what Ex started..." (edited by Zerodius on 07-23-04 09:22 PM) |

| Seph heard everything Z-0 had to say. Seph: "By the records, you're right. Unfortunately, I can't fight NeoBowser like this, as the Dark Weapon is the only thing that affects him. I can't slay him myself at this rate. We will have to somehow drive him from the Power of Hatred, the true source of his power, and then he will be much easier to defeat. The X Virus, while it won't affect him like it would any normal being, should do the trick. It won't kill or convert him, but it will diminish the Power of Hatred deep inside of him. Also..." Seph pondered while turning his back towards Z-0 Seph: "What is in it for me in this form, once the warfare and bloodshed is all over, and NeoBowser defeated? I do realize that this is the only way I hope to beat NeoBowser, but what will become of me afterwards? I realize the consequences, both good and bad, of staying in this form and going back to what I was before entering the Energy Shrine. If I remain an Ex, I can re-experience what it's like living with a complete soul again, but I can never return to my family. If I go back, I'll live in peace with the ones I love, but my soul once again shattered. What better way to take advantage of finally bringing peace to the world than to see my family again. There ARE ways to convert back, or to even change to a whole new form, but none of which are as spiritually enlightened as being an Ex. I'll have to think about it... once NeoBowser is once again dead, this time... for good." |

| Z-0: "Seph... Zerodius wish to speak with you himself... and even I cannot translate into mortal words what he want to tell you." A vortex appeared next to Z-0... Z-0: "Step inside. Zerodius wants to tell you something..." Z-0 disappeared as suddenly as he had appeared... Blakes approached the vortex... Blakes: "Just as I tought... an Interdimensional Window. Seph, this is a direct path to Dimension 0. When you will step trought it, you will bypass the Prison Dimension and see Dimension 0 under it's true form... however, becease of the way these Windows works, you will not be real. Only the one who has brought you there will be able to see and hear you... and only he will be able to bring you back in the Universe. Be careful, Seph. Many a mortal has went into the Dimension 0 using such Windows and got stuck. While they are harmless to us, True Gods, their collective hatred is very powerful and if they spot you, they will without a doubt try to use you as an emotional punching bag." |

| As Seph walked trought the vortex... nothing happened... or so it seemed. Everything around Seph became more and more detailed until the world became so detailed that Seph seemed awfully out of place in this new world. It was as if he was a drawing in the middle of the real world... Next to him was a human being. Even if Seph couldn't se his face, for some reason, he recognised him instantly... Zerodius: "So... you came. I bet you must be disappointed. Shocking, isn't it? We, True Gods, are merely humans in our own world... we do not even have any powers. You too, doesn't have any power, either. Also, most if not all of our technology cannot be used in this world. However, it is still our home and it is also the birthplace of the Universe. Every single being was imagined and then created in this small world... However, I am not here to tell you all this. I am here to tell you about your fate. Seph, I will not hide it to you... Few are the "Ex" beings who escape their fate. "Ex" beings have been programmed to defeat Evil and then to self-terminate when their job is done so that their destructive powers may never be used to revive Evil. Also, "Ex" beings are programmed to self-terminate if they live so that they may never lose hope..." Zerodius paused... Zerodius: "I bet that you heard of Erdrick, right? Erdrick was one of the very first "Ex" beings ever created. She was an impressive warrior and her deeds were legendary. However, as all "Ex" beings, she was destined to self-terminate herself. When she reached the age of 35, Erdrick met with an enemy called Zemos. Zemos was just an ordinary lesser demon. A mere tool for his superior masters... However, Zemos knew Erdrick's weakness... he knew her Dance of Insanity. He also knew that when Erdrick would reach the age of 35, she would be ready to do it mentally... so, the two began the Dance of Insanity. Erdrick was being slashed, cut, beaten up and didn't fought back... all that she wanted was for death to come... for death was the only thing that she ever cared for... or so she tought at first. When the Dance of Insanity was about to end and Erdrick to be killed, it is then that a miracle happened." Zerodius smiled. Zerodius: "All of a sudden, she seen her entire life in front of her eyes... she saw her husband and her 5 children... she saw the people she had saved... and the people she had fought. She seen the hapiness on the face of everyone... then, she asked herself if it was really important. It could have been any other "Ex" being after all, isn't it? ...or is it truly the case? Erdrick seen all the hope, all the hapiness she had brought to all those she had knew... and realised that she hadn't achieved all those deeds becease that she an "Ex" being... but becease that she was Erdrick, the one and only. She had became such a hero not becease of skill alone but becease of her dreams... her family... her people... her enemies. When Zemos finally awakened all the hidden hatred inside of Erdrick's heart, Erdrick fought it with all of her might and returned the hatred at Zemos. Zemos, panicked, escaped. Erdrick had overcame her own fate. Her legend had ended. Erdrick now lives in a forgotten dimension, with her family, free from the curse of the Dance of Insanity. She knows that even if Zemos was to return, all those she knows will come to her help, whenever they may be alive or not. She knows that her life is worth living." Zerodius stared deep into Seph's eyes... Zerodius: "Erdrick wasn't the only "Ex" being who escaped. While Ex Lightheart died during the final battle, she had overcame, before the final battle, her own fate when she faced Siryx, the legendary Anti-Ex. While the "Ex" beings who escape their fate are few, they do exist. Seph, you could be or could not be able to escape your own fate. When finally, you will face the final challenge... you will see your own life, Seph. Whenever you are able or not able to escape your fate is merely up to you. Ask yourself this question, Seph... Are you merely the "Ex" being who will save the world... or are you Seph, the one and only savior of Humanity?" On these words, Zerodius sent Seph back into the Universe... While it seemed as if Seph had spent an awfully long time in Dimension 0, she found out that not even a single second had gone by in the Universe... |

| Seph returned to his BattleCruiser... with something on his mind. Seph: "What was said was for me, and for me alone." ZeroNumberX: "Dare to tell us about it?" Seph: "I must ask myself this... am I the Ex being that will save the world, or am I Seph, the saviour of all humanity?" ZeroNumberX: "What is that supposed to mean?" Seph: "It means that I have a choice. Zerodius told me about the significance of being an Ex. Ex beings are meant to self-terminate once they have rid the world of all Evil and cannot revive it, or so that they never lose hope. Whether or not I am able to escape that fate is clearly up to me. I do realize that I'm the One, but being the One doesn't mean for sure that I will defeat NeoBowser and fullfill the ultimate deed, only that I am destined to." |

| Blakes stared at Seph... Blakes: "Sheesh! You think you're the Savior of Humanity just becease you got the Dark Weapon and got a positive speech from Zerodius? Talking about being over-confident! You didn't defeated a single superior demon yet. Yes, you did fought with a weak, half-dead corrupted Memory Image of Ex... but you know what, miss Big Shot? That's nothing! I too, can do that! Heck, Firux can do that, too! I respect the fact that you have lots of potential but unlike Zerodius, I prefer facts to stupid theories, impossible dreams, or worse, "destiny" thingies. Seph, I will aknowledge you as the One only if you actually beat up the Dark Kings. Until then, you're little more than Seph, leader of the so-called Legion of Doom." Blakes approached Seph... He was VERY close to Seph's face. It was as if he was trying to intimidate her. Blakes: "Now... Get off your high horses! You're Seph, a rat with a big living sword... not Humanity's Savior! You'll be able to tell everyone that you're a hero only after you've defeated the Guardians and the UEN. Until then, shut the f*** up, miss Big Shot!" |

| Off: Incase you haven't noticed (which you problably haven't), what Seph SOMETIMES states/predicts (like her theory of being the "One") might not actually be fact (just yet), but rather clues to some of the missing puzzle pieces in the story, though they are quite hard to predict until much later. I don't usually wish to reveal or even hint about them on MSN Messenger, but you never know: I might at least give hints occasionally, or even reveal it. I like to leave spoilers to a minimum, but a few here and there wouldn't hurt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Seph: "With all due respect. It's quite a long shot to hold such a bond as lifting the fate of the world above your shoulders, though I once proved I am the One long ago... or WAS him. Now I must prove that I am still that person. The 'One' is the name given to the most dependant person, the one being who may either make or break all hopes of humanity. Being the 'One' means more than just the world's saviour, the so-called 'supreme' being. While they do have a lot of potential, they also serve a purpose, and hold a responsibility much larger than that of any other living being. It may feel good to be the One, but being the One is not easy. I did not call myself that because I think, know, or otherwise "feel" it in my heart... but because I was told I may be so, that I may find that part of me somewhere, but I don't know exactly where just yet. Ex Lightheart used to hold the responsibility of being so, but now that she's long gone, whoever must step up and finish what Ex started is all up to me... the outcome will decide that." Without saying a word, Seph then rushed out the door, and slammed the door along the way. With her head down for a moment, and after gaining enough distance to feel a comformity in speaking her mind out of reach of Admiral's matters, that's when she halloucinated something to the one person she knew she could trust in keeping a secret. Seph *private message to ZeroNumberX (in the form of a thought)*: "Zero, my son... promise me you won't tell anyone, or let anyone read this message but you, because if you do, NeoBowser might find out, and that would problably mean our entire family would sooner or later be dead... everyone but my sinister older brother that we are hunting..."He" is still out there, all but dead at the moment. I can't tell you why or how exactly just yet, but it is for our protection. Even since his resurrection, there is much information that remains unknown to him... the horrible Absolute Evil, and we must keep it hidden from him at all cost. The more he knows, the more danger he will put us all into. That is why Black Baron must be the first to go. He knows more about us than the rest of the Guardians and UEN combined, and that can become the bane of our entire existance. We mustn't let that happen, which is why I will be giving you the honor of nailing the final pin in his coffin... and I know the perfect plan for that. I will... I mean, I can't promise you I will make it back in one peace, but not without you knowing. As long as you can still sense my power level, you will know that I am alive. But as long as I am gone on the Dark Kings journey, which will be a long time, I can't talk to you directly, only in thoughts like I am doing so now. Now, son, I must be going. There is much that needs to be told, but I can't tell you everything now. I just want you to know: I will always be there for you... no matter what. Like the great Gradius once told me... never give up... trust your instincts!" Seph then teleported out, to the Void Between Dimensions, ready to confront the first Dark King boss of her choice.

| Off: I know that... Blakes does not! ____________________________________________________________________ Blakes stared at Seph... Blakes: "Anyway! There is a supposed-to-be-secret room on this ship. Everyone call it the Gate and knows where it is... even if it's supposed to be secret. This room has only one purpose: It will teleport you from a world to another. You see... the sooner the Dark Kings die, the better, so we will do it the unsafe but fast way. We will teleport you directly on the surface of the world where the Dark Kings live. There, you will have to find a way to somehow make it to their fortresses and kill them. Of course, we will not send you ANY weapon or equipment piece..." Blakes paused and waited for Seph's reaction... for a whole second. Blakes: "Just kidding! Actually, the room is linked directly to each of the 8 Dimensions where the Dark Kings hide. Once you are ready, go to the room and prepare yourself. We shall contact the population of your destination and send you there. The local population will inform you about the current situation and equip you with the equipment needed for your journey. However, Seph, I must warn you... this journey is similar to Ex's in the way that once you begin the journey, you will never be able to return until ALL Dark Kings are defeated... or until you can find the spaceships we will send you. Remember that the teleportation system is both automatic and fairly random. It will be hard to locate and supply you with equipment. Still, it's your best bet. You will not be in contact with us, our foes won't be able to locate either of us using our transmissions... since there's none. Also your random teleportations will make it hard for our foes to prepare themselves. They won't be able to build special traps and ambushes. But it will, most importantly, allow you to evade the Anti-Exs. No matter how strong you think you are... I will never stress this enough. IF YOU RUN INTO AN ANTI-EX, DO NOT TRY TO FIGHT. JUST RUN. While you are a mighty "Ex" being... remember that you're also a extremely dated "Ex" being and thus, the Anti-Exs knows perfectly your weak points before even seeing you. They will know your attacks before you pull them off and strike anywhere but where you espect them to strike. They will mop the floor with you. So... just run if you see them. Why would you ask? Well becease that you're much more useful to us alive and on duty than dead and six feet under. Anyway... I have something for you. Something that will help you for your journey." Blakes have some strange pills to Seph. Some were white, other black, other yellow... Blakes: "I'll give you these right now so you know what they do and when you'll need them. Each pill is color-coded. The black pill will modify your DNA so that it will reflect your soul's element. In short, since you are an "Ex" being, you will turn into pure darkness and become invisible in dark places... and invisible to most dark/unholy creatures. The effects of this pill will fade after a hour or so. The blue, yellow, and red pills are all related. The yellow pill will modify your DNA, allowing you to evolve into a Pikachu, something that you wouldn't be able to do normally. I will warn you now however... under this new form, you lose a lot of agility and become a bigger target. However, you will be able to infuse almost all of your attacks with electricity safely and allow you to absorb energy-based attacks more easily. However, the yellow pill will also damage your DNA. It won't damage it so much that you'll received constant damage... but you'll still feel pain. Unless you have a high resistance to pain, this will prove to be a problem. The red pill has a similar effect... exept that this time, it turns you into a Raichu. Under this form, you will a very large target and you won't be able to run very fast... but your extremely long tail can serve as a whip and you will be able to infuse all of your attacks with electricity. Energy-based attacks will be mostly harmless to you in this form too! However, all of this power come with a price that is much harsher than just a loss of speed... evolving into a Raichu will severely damage your DNA thus making you unstable. In short, you will suffer constant damage as long as you stay in this form. The blue pill will cancel the effects of the yellow and red pills, returning you to your original form. You already know your abilities under your current form, do you? Dark-elemental but without the light-elemental weaknesses... the ability to absorb energy at the cost of Life Force... and of course, the Dark Weapon Techs. However, unlike Ex, you can't see souls so be sure to fully charge your Dark Weapon Techs or else, you could end up turning yourself insane. Next, I will talk about the green pill. The green pill will invert your energy signature, turning you light-elemental. Useful when dealing with creatures who hates darkness... or are resistant to dark-elemental attacks. Remember that you won't be able to unleash the Dark Weapon Techs while light-elemental however! The effects of this pill has a duration of a hour or something like that. Last is the white pill..." Blakes paused... he seemed uneasy. Blakes: "Actually... I think I'd rather not give white pills to you..." Blakes tought for a while... Blakes: "I had almost forgot! Zerodius had told me to tell you this should you choose to follow Ex's path and finish what she started... there is a Dark King named Andross who is a scientist. He had created a new tech, using a mix of his psychic powers and his advanced technology... you want me to tell you about it? ... or did I wasted enough of your time already?" |

| Blakes: "Yep, he is one of them. As you already know... Andross isn't the most powerful Dark King... but he's one of the smartest. When making an experiment on himself, Andross created a special combo which he called "Andross's Special Revenge Combo Mix Deluxe". I know... the name is really silly... but it's effects are... well... just a little bit nasty?" Blakes paused... Blakes: "This combo starts up with Andross sealing you into a gap between Dimensions. Once you're sealed, he will teleport ALL of your equipment to random locations in Dimension 8. Why Dimension 8? You'll understand soon enough... Anyway! Once that's done, Andross will use a special attack that WILL hit you... however, this attack doesn not damage the target. Unstead, this attack will turn the target into a ordinary being if it's a special/unique being. In short, it will turn you into a regular pichu. Once you lost ALL of your equipment and ALL of your special abilities, Andross teleport you to Dimension 8." Blakes paused again... Blakes: "Good news! Andross can only use this move when his Life Force has reached 0! In short, he'll die shortly after pulling it off! Bad news! You cannot avoid, block, or absorb it in ANY way, form, or shape! Even years after Ex fought Andross... we analysed the attack and how it worked and everything... and we still know next to nothing exept that it's nasty, it's unavoidable, and that Andross will NOT hesitate to use it." Blakes paused yet once again... Blakes: "So... how is it gonna help you to know that? Simple. Life as a normal pokemon in Dimension 8 is very, very hard. Not only that... but the ONLY thing that can cure you from the effects of this combo is an Everstone. Everstones are extremely rare artifacts that have been crafted by none other than Meteo Prime himself. To the one who wield this artifact, he gain the power to revert the effects of unbreakable curses and complete deaths. You see... there are some attacks that cannot be recovered from in any way... exept by using an Everstone. These artifacts allow someone to go back in time, while keeping his memories and physical strenght. Also, only the one who is under the Everstone's power will be affected. Thus, by using these artifacts, curses can be unmade, memories that were removed can be brought back, and souls who disappeared can be brought back. However, I must warn you... these artifacts are really, REALLY rare and using them require incredible mental strenght as the Everstone draw all of it's powers from the user's memories and feelings. Whenever you succeed or fail into using it, an Everstone will break apart upon being used." Blakes's visor flashed red for a few seconds... Blakes: "I just checked in the database... nope, we do not have any Everstones currently so we won't be able to supply you with one once you make it to Dimension 8. Seph... you MUST contact us BEFORE taking on Andross so that we'll be able to help you. Also... make sure that Andross does NOT seal your radio away when he execute his last combo. If we know where you are, it will be easier for us to help you." Blakes paused for the last time. Blakes: "I just wanted to warn you in case you wanted to take on Andross first. Anyway... tell me when you're ready so I can give you a proper briefing and send you to your destination." (edited by Zerodius on 07-29-04 09:37 PM) |
