Calm before the Storm

[Lord Meeker he/him]

"I don't have time to deal with the likes of you." Rhazien simply walked over and lashed Nei'an several into the floor. "Cross me again and I won't leave you alive again."

With that, he phased over the cognitive realm. Septimus stood waiting.

"You wanted to speak?" He asked, his spren Atha next to him.

[Gancho Libre he/him]

Ne'an struggled helplessly like a newborn baby against the investituee that held him down.

Why was rhazien gathering investiture?

[Blazenella he/him]

" Yes." Septimus stood with Rhazien.  " What is the purpose of this? What is it with you and your stupid vendettas? What do you have against me. What do you have against the world?"

"I WILL STROMING KILL HIM!!!" nei'an shreiked. "HE HAS DESTOYED EVERYTHING i'VE WORKED FOR!!!"

[Lord Meeker he/him]

"Well what about? I do not have all day nor am I in a good mood with what happened. I suggest you be quick about it." Rhazien said folding his arms.

psst mraize your stuck.

Nei'an stuggled against the force that held him in place. "Sepimus!" he yelled. "Get me out of..." he couldn't think of a good thing to say. "Uh.. please?"

[Blazenella he/him]

Septimus sighed. " Don't try it. Why do you need this much investiture? Why do you have this vendetta against me and mine? I've never held anything against you, I want a final parting gift. Answers..."

[Gancho Libre he/him]

Nei'an started shaking on the floor, to be compared to a dying fish. 

"HELP ME SO I CAN KILL HIM!!!!" nei'an started blackung out from the g-force.

"The reason I do this?" Rhazien said. "I do this because I care. I will use the knowledge I have collected to help these people."
Before he could speak more he heard a distinct voice in his head. THESE WORDS ARE ACCEPTED.
He had spoken the Forth Ideal of the Elsecallers. Turned from Septimus.

"I do this because it is the only way." He said, quietly, more to himself than to his once ally.

He elsecalled back to the physical realm. He breathed in stormlight from the spheres that had been renewed from the storm. His Athablade formed into his hand. Black elongated sword. At that same time, armor formed from the air around him. Knowledgespren swept around him forming his blackened armor. The same color as his spren. Midnight black.
"Now about that Aviar." He said to Soul and Night.

[Grey Knight]

Drako grabbed Mraize from behind and snapped his neck.

He pushed the body away, snatching his bolter and firing it into Mraize's back. With every shell, he thought of the life he had lived, before coming to this hellhole. 

He used to be a hero. Someone who saved others, not betrayed them. 

 

[Blazenella he/him]

Septimus began to boil he returned to the physical realm. “ Have you forgotten your first oaths!? Journey before destination! You’re betraying everything the knights believe in! The ends does not justify the means!” Septimus was screaming. He lifted Nei’en taking the stormlight from his lashings. He looked once more at Rhazien “ You broke this man, and you tread upon thin ice breaking more.” Septimus sighed. “ Just don’t blame me when you fall in...”

FFRP does not allow you to god mod, and secondly I am in shard plate making very hard to snap my neck or shoot me in the back.

"Oaths are about perception my friend. As I see it I am not betraying anything. Perhaps I am more aligned with the void than anything else. But I will be the balancing force here." he said.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Drako moving to grapple him. He ducked the blow to his neck and as he fired his bolter Rhaizen casually formed Atha into a shield, blocking all of the bullets.

"I do not have time your impotence fool." He spat at Drako, before returning to the Cognitive Realm.

Quick timeout:

@Mraize, my intention was not to godmode. If it came across that way, I'm sorry. I still believe you should be injured, though. Here is my reasoning:

1. Rhazien was talking to another person at the time, and had no reason to think that Drako would be attacking. 

2. Shardplate does not prevent neck-snapping. The helm is unconnected to the rest of the armor, and can't actually stop your neck from twisting.

3. The neck-snap was never intended to kill you, as shown by Drako immediately shooting your back. Rhazien would obviously be full of stormlight. A broken neck would only slow him down, which is what Drako was trying to do. In the same vein, the 'shooting in the back' part was intended to weaken your shardplate.

I probably could have been clearer. Sorry 'bout that. But still, by the reasoning above, you should at least be inconvenienced. What do you think?

Well. I had no stormlight in my being, I used it all up to transport me to the physical realm. So the neck snap, depending how you did it, would indeed kill me. That is why I said what I did. But I agree that I should be inconvienced.

 

[Blazenella he/him]

Septimus strode forward, determination alight in his eyes. This was the last straw. He was done playing nice. He formed armor out of the stone, like carapace, and thrust his hand forward. He grabbed Rhazien with a stream of rock and launched him back towards the shop. 

[Archer he/him]

"Back so soon?" Mace said, crawling out from behind the table, having retrieved the object that was hidden there. "I guess you'll need this then!" Mace tossed a fair sized bag in the direction of Rhazien. 

[Lord Meeker he/him]

Rhazien caught the bag. "What name of the Storms is in this?" He shouted. "I don't have time to check!" Before being hit by Septimus.

[Archer he/him]

"Quit shaking it you slontze! Do you want it to explode prematurely?" Mace knew that there was only minutes to go until the monkey in the bag blew up. He hoped his reserves of health would be enough to sustain him. But knowing how huge the blast was going to be, he started running anyway tapping all the reserves of speed he had.

Kalmar saw Drako attacking Rhazien. "Gak!" He yelled. The fight was happening already. Quickly Kalmar put on his Traveler's lens and teleported over to where it was happening. Reaching, he ran and grabbed the bag from Rhazien before looking in. "A monkey! I know this trick!" Kalmar threw it back at Rhazien and teleported out as fast as possible.

You might see this late.

Akrasia heard the noise he heard the sounds of death. His nose twitched he could smell the fear and hate emanating from the tavern ahead, he smelled blood. His face began to ripple with color and his breath quickened in anticipation of the conflict. Donning a pair of knuckle dusters he charged towards the sounds of fighting. 

[Blazenella he/him]

Septimus heard Mace. " Explode?" Rhazien had fallen into the building. Septimus grabbed the bag and covered it until it had formed into a ball of rock. He took this and threw it towards Mace. He covered it in more rock in an attempt to contain it. He turned back towards Rhazien on the ground and began to crush him under the weight of tonnes of rock piling on top of him. He heard the Shardplate begin to crack.

Sorry I was gone for a bit. I will catch up but this post will go back in time to right after my last post and sum up to current time. Prepare yourself.

Soul

Pain blossomed in Soul's leg as razor sharp teeth tore into it. Quickly punching the Tamaskan in the face he lashed the unfortunate beast onto a wall nearby. Turning he got a face full of metal as Night rammed his sword through Soul's eye. This was not going as planned but Soul simply grinned. "It's been too long since I've killed someone." He muttered spitting blood.

Night

As Soul punched and lashed Zayev into a wall Night screamed. Putting all his anger and fear into his attack we swung his weapon into Soul's face. Rushing over he grabbed his beloved dog. "No, no, no, no."

Soul

Soul felt his emotions being tampered with as his bloodlust increased, but didn't do anything about it. He needed the stormlight and the emotions didn't matter at the moment. Breathing in tons of stormlight Soul attacked faster then a human could see. Lashings and abrasion made Soul faster than anyone except a steelrunner. Night didn't even notice Soul coming until the knife entered his spine. 

Night

Checking the wounds of Zayev, Night breathed a sigh of relief. He was fine. Turning he saw his corpse slump to the ground with a knife in it's back, spinning back towards Soul Night felt the same knife impale him. Due to his premonition he avoided death, but just barely. "Why?" he whispered as he collapsed, paralyzed from the neck down.

Soul

"Why?" Night whispered. Soul frowned, he didn't know why this man acted so confused. They hated eachother. Looking back Soul remembered fights, but also shared experiences. This didn't make sense, until he stopped tapping Identity. Beliefs and feelings that were suppressed flooded back into him as he looked upon his old friend. Quickly burning aluminum so his emotions were no longer affected, Soul started weeping. "I am sorry. I have to do this. Forgive me old friend." Quickly tapping Identity again, as well as extinguishing his aluminum the feelings of sadness disappeared. Sheathing his knife, Soul summoned El as a long, thin blade. "I will take care of Zayev & Faye." Soul said as a last goodbye and comfort to Night, his longest friend that he had to kill. 

Night

Feelings of fear were still strong due to the allomancy of Rhazien. But Night also felt peace as he saw his friend appear again in his killer's face. He understood now. Soul didn't want to do this, he couldn't do this, but he had to, so he must have tapped enough Identity to revert back to when he was willing to kill Night. "I will take care of Zayev & Faye." Night smiled slightly. Even as Soul killed him, he still honored what he would know Night's last request would be. Night felt at his dog's fur, and looked at Faye. Then, Night closed his eyes.

Soul

As Night closed his eyes, Soul rammed the sword through his chest, killing him instantly. Soul turned, just as Deathants exploded everywhere. Sucking in stormlight Soul lashed himself towards the wall. grabbing Zayev he lashed them both out the still broken ceiling. Soul grabbed at Faye but missed as she flew away in the commotion. "Storm it all." Soul cursed. Flying away he found a safe spot to put Zayev. He looked at the Tamaskan, who looked right back with sad eyes. Soul stopped tapping identity again and felt the sadness of killing his friend. "Don't make me feel guilty. I had to do it." He admonished the dog. Great now I'm talking to animals. 

"I know you had to do it." El appeared as a woman who looked like she was made out of a liquid mirror. She stood about a foot tall at the height of Sou's head. "That doesn't mean he hast to like it." 

"I know." Soul replied, closing his eyes again, not looking forward to returning to the battle. Tapping Identiy again soul regained his strength and bloodlust. "Stay." He told Zayev and lashed himself back towards the chaos.

...this escalated quickly.

Drako rushes out of the building. Upon seeing the giant rock arms crushing Rhazien, he promptly turns around, charging after Mace and the bomb.

[Lord Meeker he/him]

Rhazien sighed. He lashed the rock into the ceiling bringing down the entire building, as the rubble rained down he phased towards Mace. He grabbed the man and elsecalled to the cognitive realm.

"You are welcome."
