OOC: You had Pit with Fluttershy and Shaydes I believe... think everyone else you had was with the other two groups who had already arrived at the door to the reactor room.

OOC: Mind if i just use my current avatar in RP now?

OOC: Don't see why not.

"So, what brings you here?" Foxtail questioned Magi. "Besides the obvious."

OOC: I think it'll be more difficult to continue on in this one. I've joined another roleplay, and I get the feeling that IceDragon's starting to lose interest in this one.
And yeah, you can go ahead Prextail.

"Oh, there's... interesting things going on here," Magi said with a smirk.

OOC: Well, Icedragon appeared to be unable to think of anything to post earlier...

He was already losing his patience, drumming his claws on the ground. "So, how long are you gonna draw this out before you do something? I don't have all day."

Magi snickered. "What, dost thou wantest a fight?"

"I don't want any trouble" was the fox's only response. "But it looks like it's a little too late for that..." he added, glancing at the battlefield.

[Welp, I running out of things to say as well.]

"Heh heh heh. I doubt you'd manage to avoid trouble anyway."

OOC: Should we perhaps move to a situation where it'd be a bit easier to think of a response?

[Yes. That would be excellent.]

OOC: What kind of situation should we move to then?

"Ah, forget it, let's go!" Foxtail challenged Magi, abandoning his previous statement of "not wanting trouble".

[And again, I will be reintroducing Blister soon.]

Magi laughed. "Come at me then, ye precious little fox!"

With a slight growl, the fennec's eyes flashed a bright green as he lept into a front-flip, slamming his front paws on the ground. A loud rumbling accompanied a row of stalagmites rapidly and violently emerging from the ground, headed right for his equine adversary.

(What's happening now exactly? I want to join back in ))

Magi smirked and immediately took to the air, his horn glowing. As he released his counter spell, a massive burst of wind surged towards Foxtail.

OOC: Magi Mirthkir and Foxtail just started fighting.

((Ok, where are they to?))

[They are outside the Tower, I'd guess a little ways away from it, given how it hasn't reacted to Foxtail's presence... yet.]

Dang these freaking airborne mooks! Of course, Foxtail was earthbound, and refused to go Withertail simply to take to the skies. So rather than pull off a spectacular attack, he simply whipped out his pistol and took a few shots, pausing every so often to reload.

Magi flew to the side, staying near the ground, and shot a series of sharp icicles at Foxtail.

Deploying a bio-shield, Foxtail managed to deflect the majority of the icy projectiles; however, he wasn't swift enough to block a few in time. They left some nicks, but nothing seriously crippling.

A certain 16 year old boy had been wandering around the woods, he grinned to himself as he had yet another successful kill. Not that he was asked or payed to do it, he just simply enjoyed it. His two hatchets stained with blood as he held them, and he twitched slightly as he walked through the woods. The sounds of the battle caught the teen's attention as he curiously wandered closer and closer.

A bullet had managed to hit Magi's leg, but the injury didn't seem to slow him down at all. He only laughed maniacally in response.

The sound of soft footsteps alerted Foxtail to the potential danger approaching from behind as he glanced back to see a human armed with a pair of axes. Though it didn't concern him at the moment, he kept a wary eye on the boy as he conjured a small vortex at Magi.

Magi swiftly dodged to the side and fired several lightning bolts.

Toby watched the fight from afar, he smiled as he saw the scene, how a good fight was always something nice to see, and the fact is that the winner might be injured at the end, then he might be able to finish him off with his two prized hatchets! The thought of yet another kill made Toby quite happy, and eagerly awaited the right time to strike.

Still under the protection of the bio-shield, he took the blows from Magi's lightning. Although he survived, the lack of any living matter left him with only his own life forces to form it, and as a result, he all but blacked out, completely vulnerable...

Little did he know, he had a spirit maintaining a watchful eye on him... a spirit with a burning passion to get back at Magi.

[Say, Prextail, are you still using Pit?]

((If a opportunity had shown up where he would be useful in rp, then yes ))

[Well, Shaydes is still on fire... and she's in the same area as Pit...]

Magi laughed. "Ha! It appears our little friend here couldn't take the pressure!"

((That's in the tower, right?))

OOC: Yes it is, Prex.

A burst of flame accompanied the arrival of the blazing Blister, looking none too pleased that Foxtail had been knocked unconscious, and even less so at Magi's presence. In one hand he held a Molotov cocktail which he tossed to himself passively, and in the other, a hatchet with a blade forged of pure diamond hung loosely at his side. He wrathfully glared at the dark alicorn with his eyes flickering out of fury.

"Magi Mirthkir. Where does the time go?" A slight slur in his voice indicated he was a bit tipsy. "Seems only yesterday that you fled our little confrontation like the coward you are."

"Well, well," Magi remarked. "Look at who just decided to show his face." He smirked. Nothing could faze him, it seems.

OOC: Hello?

OOC: Well, here goes nothing. I will attempt to write out Fluttershy and Cadence. Or wind up continuing to use them. Either way, I'm going to introduce another. And that character will be my focus. I hope that's okay.




'My leg! My leg! My Leg!' Sweetie Belle screamed to herself. Then actually screaming.

"Bu- I- How does- It doesn't even make-" the filly spluttered. Terror taking the reigns of her mind and demanding her to panic. She didn't know how to walk on three legs. She didn't know how to 'fix' her leg. She didn't know why she had to be a machine while others aren't. She had no idea where she was anymore, her state of agonizing pain and fear having wiped her of her sense of direction and her will to move.

"Somebody help me!" she wailed, failing to remember Technus was still in the building.




Having sat doing nothing as a fight broke out before here was rather disturbing to her. Cadence shook herself out of the daze that had somehow drawn her attention to the sea of grass beneath her hooves and sighed. Shortly accompanied with a facehoof.

After putting her hoof to the ground, she surveyed her surroundings. Briefly wondering why she hadn't been attacked yet.

Her heart rate increased when she spotted Magi. She knew she saw him from somewhere, but simply couldn't remember. When she saw the fallen form of Foxtail, something within her changed. She had feelings for him that suggested some kind of love. But didn't understand why she had them.

But with that, came her anger. And in that anger, she could not see Foxtail's chest rising with each breath. She simply thought he was dead. With that, she readied her strongest spell, ready to lash out at the two before here.

Only to slam head first into a solid, shimmering wall of teal energy that pulsed with pure magical power.

'Ouch.... this headache will haunt me forever...' Cadence mentally lamented.




"Um... what did you say?" Fluttershy absentmindedly replied. She sounded tired, suggesting that she hadn't had any rest before her ship had crashed into the clearing roughly a mile or two from the tower she was in. While the four years travelling space, half the time on the ship and the other half trading and/or living in the rare alien civilizations had toughened her up to face.... reality. For interstellar space is a nightmare to traverse. She still found herself reminiscing about her years in Ponyville. Unhealthy she had deemed it, but couldn't stop herself from doing it once she lapsed into it.

Her passion seemed to be metal walls as of late. As she found herself resting her head against one.

"Perhaps I could be of assistance?" Treetop offered the filly, dragging himself across the floor with his shorter tentacles, the wrench scraping the ground behind him.



The gentle crackling of fire accompanied the blaze's deep, metallic voice. "You're damn right I'm back, maggot. Back with a vengeance." A small ring of fire ignited the dried, dead grass, slowly spreading outward as his temper increased. "Let's finish what we started all those years ago. Right here, right now."

A plume of smoke puffed from his halo of flame as he flared up in annoyance from a familiar magical influence. He recognized it immediately as the same that ruined his chance to murder the damned bastard that called himself Magi, but he showed no further reaction.



An annoyed gasp escaped Shaydes' mouth. How could anyone, a pony no less, care so little about another's welfare? Insulted, no, disgusted, she was about to give Fluttershy a scolding like no other, but restrained herself.

Steady, Kate, it will all work out soon enough. "I said, that that one is booby-trapped. And I also do believe I am on fire; if you would like to do anything about it, that would be great."

Magi glanced at Cadence and smirked. "Cute. But I'm not going to be driven off this time. Heh heh heh." He looked back at Blister.

"Give me your best shot, Sir Hothead!"

"Um... how would that help me?" Sweetie Belle answered. Briefly having forgotten she was technically a machine. She glanced to her... missing leg.

Oh, right.... Why can't this be a dream?

"Oh... uh, yes please."




With a sigh, Cadence brought herself to her hooves and gazed the at the wall of magical energy she had made. By complete accident she would admit, reluctantly. Glaring at Magi with fierce anger though the wall, she manipulated it into the shape of several swords.

"Who said anything about driving you away?" she retorted with a dark grin on her muzzle. Her eyes showing the faint signs of changing and the air started to grow colder. The eight swords consisting entirely of pure, magical energy that she created circling around her.




The mentioning of fire broke Fluttershy out of her trance. She turned around to face Shaydes and her pupils shrunk when the Pegasus saw her ablaze.

"Huzzwah? You're on fire!" Fluttershy shouted with terror, she had no idea what to do. Panic laced her features as she frantically raced around Shaydes.

Magi responded with a maniacal laugh. "Ha! I'm glad I came here! This is looking like it'll be loads of fun!"

His eyestalks curved around toward the detached leg and he grasped it with one tentacle as he set to work. "I'm none too familiar with Equestrian technology... no offense," he spoke as he fastened her missing leg onto her body. "But I believe this repair should be sufficient." He plodded back a few steps to allow her to attempt standing.



His floating head slowly turned to give a wrathful, steely-eyed death glare to Candence, his voice equally cold. "Stand down. This kill is mine."

And in a blast of compressed air, Blister threw himself at Magi with his axe at the ready.



By this point she was suffering a second-degree burn, but even then she maintained a calm, deadpan tone.

"Okay, now just- just calm down, it's just a flesh wound..." she tried to assure Fluttershy, but it held little weight.

[Well, I gotta stop to do some homework now.]

Magi stopped laughing and gave Blister a sinister look. He focused his magic on the air around him as the blaze charged towards him.

Candence

[It's Cadence.]




"Um... That makes two of us." Sweetie Belle agreed in reply to Treetops familiarity on Equestrian Technology. She truly had no idea about how she 'functioned'. It's like being told everything you kne- oh... Right. Her ears folded back ans she struggled to her hooves. Her hindleg that was repaired throwing her off balance. It wasn't a perfect fix, but it'd do.

Her attention was drawn to her foreleg. The fake skin was slowly regrowing, knitting itself back together where it was torn. I guess that's how I never found out before... Why... why was I bo- I wasn't.

It was then that she broke down crying, only with a lack of tears this time around. She fell to her barrel and buried her head in her hooves, the realization that she could be an experiment or a weapon was utterly traumatizing her.

My.. my life... was real... please... My sister's love wasn't a lie! It can't be!




Cadence's eyes were now two pinpricks of red in a sea of darkness as her coat started to darken. Her mane contorting as it became ethereal, and burning with a fire unlike that of the ordinary kind. Her hooves killed the grass beneath her. Then brought it back to life, as a twisted moss that actually looked rather poisonous.

Wait... Foxtail? It's Treetop who has feelings towards you. The weaker, yet sane part of her mind reasoned.

YES! Now I can kill them all! The maniacal, feral, yet dominant part of her mind growled.

But he can fight for u- NO! WE KILL THEM ALL, THEN FIND THE SQUIDPI! the feral side roared. Ending the internal conflict.

She sent swords to all Three figures. With the unrelenting desire to kill.
"YOUR KILL? HAHAHA, FUNNY. I WAS GOING TO KILL EVERYTHING HERE!" The corrupted Alicorn vowed.

In her insane state of mind, she failed to realize that such a declaration could set everything upon her.



Eureka!

"Waitwaitwaistop! Hold your breath! And brace yourself!" Fluttershy hastily commanded as she drew magic into her wings, if she sent a strong enough current of wind down the corridor. Surely it'd end Shaydes perpetual conflagration. Right?

With a swing of her wings, she sent all the air rushing down the corridor. Phew... that took quite a bit of energy out of me..


[OOC: Aaand I just realized that Treetop is the one Cadence remembers, not Foxtail. ****. Too late to write that out now. I'm a silly person.]

Oh dear, she's crying, how do I...

The squibbon helplessly looked at the filly, not exactly sure what to do or say. He didn't want to risk unintentionally enraging her with poor word choice like before.



As suddenly as it started, her agony suddenly ended in a rush of wind that blew her chocolate brown hair back like a hurricane, tilting her head back with it. Cured of her infliction, Shaydes, slowly rose into a sitting position.

"Whew. That was... that was intense" she commented, panting heavily as she struggled to catch her breath.



The blaze could feel the magical blade coming from a mile away, and though he was annoyed that he had to cancel his attack in order to dodge it, his gritty metallic face still twisted into a menacing grin. "Is that so?" he inquired in response to Cadence's vow to murder them all. "Well, in that case, I guess I'll have to slaughter you both!"

The ground rumbled as Blister stirred the magma beneath the earth's crust and fiery vortex formed around him. He cackled a deep, sadistic laugh. "Break out the butter, we're gonna make toast!"

[So, is there anything special I should know about Cadence's swords?]
[And wow, I typed her name wrong twice. First I thought it was Candace, then Candence. I'm such a douche.]

Magi performed a short-ranged teleport to evade the sword sent at him. "Hahaha! This is getting more interesting by the second! No reason to hold back now!" He readied his powerful magic.

OOC: Hello?

Even it his dormant state, the bio-shield protected Foxtail against Cadence's attack, as if the forces of Life itself were aware he was practically this world's only hope, and tried to defend him at all costs.

[I really have nothing to add to this at the moment.]
[Although, I guess with the new Minecraft snapshot I could add a minor thing with Shaydes.]

Magi sent a swarm of large and sharp icicles at Blister.

OOC: These icicles can't be melted easily even at high temperatures. Also do need Icedragon to post again soon...

Edit: And we're going to need some responses here...

With his prior experience with ice, Blister was able to recognize the threat and deflect some with an airblast, and he didn't even seem fazed by the few that had lodged themselves in his head.

His barrier lowered and he seemed vulnerable for a moment afterward, only to recover a in a split second. He was quick to retaliate with a smoke bomb hurled at Magi.

Magi dodged to the side, then focused his magic and summoned a massive hand made of earth from the ground, which then attempted to grab Blister.

Caught of guard, Blister found himself in the grasp of the earthen hand. Struggling a bit, he summoned forth the subterranean forces in the form of a magma serpent. The snake coiled itself around and sank its fangs into the turf arm (?) in an attempt to free its master.

The hand would not let go, even with the snake biting into it.

Blister's eyes flashed as they made contact with the snake's, and the serpent turned to spew a grand wildfire at Magi.
