His vision hadn't changed in the slightest. It occurred to him that, without the Oversoul, his body couldn't heal properly. He may very well die here, albeit a [i]very[/i] slow death. What did he have to lose.
He closed his eyes, he couldn't see anything anyway. He was ready for whatever happened next.
"[i]Do it."[/i]
There was a moment of pause, when all of a sudden, a bright light shown through his closed eyes. Then he felt it. He felt the large amounts of power from the sword pour into him, and he recognized easily. It was pure light.
He immediately went to work with it. He channeled the light through himself, hoping to accelerate the healing of his wounds. And he could feel the effects taking place. His body no longer felt weak, he no longer hurt. It felt utterly amazing.
But something else began to happen. He felt as if he were. Changing. It felt very similar to when he was being resurrected by Grixis, but this was different in a way.
He had no idea how long the process took, but when he couldn't see the light through closed eyes, and felt like he could circle the world, he knew it was over.
He opened his eyes, revealing the opposite of what his eyes were. They had now turned a brilliant white with a black-blade like pupil. He looked at the Guardian. Who just stood there silently, looking up and down his body before finally meeting his gaze.
Confused, he looked back at what she was looking at. And he couldn't believe what he saw. Every single would on his body was healed, but that's not what left him shocked. His entire body was covered in white scales with black tips. He raised one of his wings to observe it, and saw that it was no longer made of a leather material, but instead was covered in white and black feathers, just like when he was alive. He even observed the other, and found an identical version.
He couldn't believe it. It took him now to realize it, that all this time, he was never truly alive, just a walking corpse. But now, because of the Light? He was truly whole.
But now, once again, he felt something different, something foreign to him. He focused on whatever it was and sought it out. But he only ended up delving his consciousness into the Guardian again, and quickly retracted it back. Why would he be going into her consciousness? Then it hit him.
"Guardian, do you feel that?" He asked her. He had no idea that this was possible, but it felt as if they were. Connected.

"Whoa! Nice make over! Looking better Shovoroth. Now, lets see what the hive have in store for us" Garuud said as he readied his weapons and walked away from the crashing carrier towards the group. "Then we get paid! Bahahahahahahaha." I have a special surprise in place for any remaining hive.
-
Alice looked away from Garuud, and attempted to speak to Shovoroth in her mind. [i]"Yes. I do feel it. It's rather... Different. Like I have a part of my soul on the outside of my body."[/i] She looks into Shovoroth's eyes. "Kinda cool actually." She says out-loud, which to Garuud might sound strange that she randomly said out of no comment. Alice continues talking in her head. [i]"When I said side effects, I kinda didn't expect this of all things."[/i]
-
"Right? But are you sure you are not on my level sanity now? Talking to yourself and out of context and all that jazz. It almost makes me think that you are trying to copy me. I guess the writers could do that if they wanted. I do not have a monopoly on insanity after all bahahaha" Garuud says rubbing his chin. "So, what now? Garuud said as he looked at Alice and Shovoroth. That was when the sky went dark and taken spawned in. Garuud smiled wide. " Good! I was getting bored." Another voice spoke from his mouth. " I like when it is boring" It said, another voice spoke. "Screw that I love a good fight!" Garuud began to move towards the taken. "Lets see how this plays out."
-
His entire being went on alert. Not because of the sudden appearance of Taken, but something else. Something was coming. That's when the air shimmered again, along with Reborn Vex and Cabal appearing in front of the Taken, immediately engaging them. A portal appeared behind the skirmish, a distance away in front of him and the Guardians. And out came Grixis' jumpship. He appeared a second later just below the ship in a fog of shadows. He looked back at the small skirmish. "Sorry, Oryx," he looked back at them, "These ones are mine!" His jumpship continued to hover in its place. "And so here we are."
-
Garuud looked at Grixis and began pacing. " I knew I smelled something rotten, seriously. When is the last time that you showered!?" Garuud yells readying himself.
-
"So you are Grixis." Alice says, turning to face the new enemy. "You've certainly got a reputation for yourself. I'm glad I get to be the Guardian that shakes your hand." She separates the now non powered blades and sheaths them all. "What do you want?"
-
Garuud stepped up next to Alice. " If he fights, can we take him? " Another voice spoke up from Garuuds mouth. " Probably not." it said. Another voice spoke up. " nah we got him, I mean look at him.. All he has going for him is that he is pokey." Garuud smirked. " Hell yeah."
-
Edited by Zalamiir: 11/11/2015 3:44:54 PMGrixis ignored the Titan, as he was instantly deemed a waste of his time. But the other? The one who Shovoroth seemed to be ready to protect at a moments notice? She wasn't so lucky. "What I want is simple; the eradication of the Light, and all who follow in it's wake." He directed his gaze at each of the wretched beings in front of him. "I was like you once; a warrior of Light, defender against Darkness. But then I become tainted by Darkness, I go to seek help to rid it from me. But when I get back, those I could call my brothers and sisters, my family, turned their backs on me. Some even went as far as to try to kill me." The Reborn that had warded off the Taken, now took position behind him. "It took me then to realize, that everything I fought for; everything I believed in. Was a lie. And that this," he gestured to himself, "Was true freedom." He then took a few steps forward, talking all the while. "I am giving the Guardians one last chance before the end. Submit," he halted, "Or die along with your false god."
-
" I don't know much about gods, but I do know this. You have been going around giving your freedom out, kind of like space herpes. I cannot abide that, so I am going to become your penicillin. Capice?" Garuud said as he brought out his Fabian strategy and pulled the slide back. " I am putting you down." Another voice spoke up from his mouth. " That was rather badass." it said and another voice spoke up as well. " hehehehe yeah it was."
-
The wind picks up at that moment, sending Alice's cloak and Garuud's mark flapping. With Shovoroth now connected to her thoughts, she felt his position behind her, raising himself up to prepare for a fight. Alice smiles, looks at the ground quickly, then back up up at Grixis. "I'll make my mind up about that when I get tainted with some piece of darkness or whatever." Alice states clearly at Grixis. "But for now, I'll abide by yours words, and give the 'Guardian' a second chance." "Grixis, either turn around and continue on your path of Darkness, or fight a battle you will not win." Then she tilts her head a bit, but still looks at Grixis. "I believe that this is your second chance."
-
"So be it." He said with no emotion in his tone. Shovoroth was on edge on how Grixis was reacting. He had to know the odds were against him. Why was he acting so resolute? Then Grixis looked up at him. "You all must think that I can be so easily defeated, now that you have him." What was he going on about? That's when a large portal opened up high in the sky. It's mass was small at first, but it began to rapidly grow in size. "Shovoroth. I lied when I said you were the only one that was brought back." His blood ran cold. He didn't. Once the portal grew to a titanic size it vanished in a flash of light. Out came a titanic black form dropped out of the sky, before opening wings it's sides. It was another Ahamkara. "I would give an introduction. But I already know that one of us here already knows who this is." Grixis said with an amused tone. The Ahamkara slowly glided down to their position. Shovoroth only watched in shock. It was only slightly smaller than he was. There was only one other that was nearly as big as him. The black scaled Ahamkara landed behind Grixis, it very much resembled what he looked like when he was under the Hive's influence. He looked into the Ahamkara's black eyes. He knew who this was. "Hello again, Shovoroth." The Ahamkara said in a deep, feminine voice. "Emaria?"
-
"Oh, well that is not cool. Taking a mans woman like that." Garuud yelled over to Grixis. "Just because you bring another Ahamkara to the fight, does not mean I am going to hurt you any less!" Another voice spoke up. " She is very impressive though... and big" it said. "Doesn't matter. He is going down. This actually pissed me off." Garuud pulls out Sol edge and lays it across his shoulders and then pointed it at Grixis. " I am going to wear that point suit as a nightgown."
-
Alice stands there, hands twitching, ready to grab her swords at a moments notice. "Emaria?" She asks Shovoroth. At that moment, Shovoroth showed her who Emaria was. "Ahh, Emaria. I don't suppose your willing to not fight at all, would you?" She asks Emaria, but still keeps her eyes on Grixis.
-
A deep rumbling sound escaped from Emaria. She was chuckling. "You already know the answer to that, oh prey of mine." She said with an amused tone. What? "What did those two do to you?" He asked Emaria. What she said; the way she said it. This wasn't like her at all. "Just like they did to you; they set me free." "Enough talk. Emaria, you know what you have to do." Grixis said. With toothy smile, she lowered herself to the ground and launched herself at Shovoroth. He did not expect the attack to happen so fast, and she crashed into him. In that moment it became a shroud of scale, claw, and sand. "As for you two," Grixis reached behind his back and grasped the hilt of his cleaver and drew it. The bladed edge became engulfed in bright, shimmering light, while his entire body immediately surged with Dark Arc energy as black electricity danced on and around him, "I'm going to enjoy snuffing out your Light."
-
"Sorry, I don't get snuffed! Except that one time... but I was paid to be in that film! You however will not take me down easy. Ready Alice?" Another voice spoke up from within him. " I don't know about this, he looks rough." Another voice spoke up as well. " how many rockets do you think we will need to take down someone of that size?" the other voice spoke up. " Ummmm carry the 7 to account for hi.." Garuud interrupted. Screw the metric system! Use all of it!" Garuud pulled out his rocket launcher and began launching rocket after rocket at Grixis and at the ground at his feet.
-
Alice looks over at Shovoroth battling Emaria, then back at Grixis getting peppered with rockets. She reaches over her shoulder to grip one of her swords. "Tier one." She mutters, as she pulls out a blade glowing with Arc energy. "You wanna duel Grixis, then let's." She sets her stance, with the blade pointed at the ground.

Edited by Zalamiir: 11/12/2015 5:08:31 AMRockets? Typical for a Titan. Just in case they were homing types, he continued his pace until they were just close enough. Combining his Lift ability with the Dark Arc energy, he shot into the air, letting the rockets detonate where he once stood. Once he was high enough in the air, he channeled the Arc energy, black electricity growing sporadically as he did. He stopped in the air, the Arc energy keeping him in place. Stray bolts stroke out at random areas around him. He focused on the spot where psychotic Titan stood. Arc energy began to compress around him, then exploded, causing a loud thunderclap sound. The resulting release of energy shot him downward at high speeds. But the Titan noticed however, and jumped out of the way. Grixis slammed into the ground where the Titan once stood, Arc energy exploding outward from where he landed. Though the Titan evaded the attack, he sure didn't get out unscathed. He looked up from his crouch position and saw that Emaria and Shovoroth had taken their battle to the skies. His jumpship soared past them, heading straight for them as well. When it was in range, it let off a salvo of Void missiles at Shovoroth. Then he saw the Hunter holding a sword teeming with regular Arc energy. Then she called out a challenge to him. [i]With pleasure.[/i] Arc energy propelled him forward, giving him the speed of a Hunter, with the devastating force of a Titan. He closed the distance in no time. When he was close enough, he channeled Arc energy into his upper body, and swung his cleaver at the Hunter, the cleaver making a violent shriek as it went for the kill.
-
Alice stood there, Grixis dashing across the flat Earth to get to her, she observed him. Knowing the enemy is half the battle, so she wasn't planning on doing anything very offensive just yet. The blade swung at her and she ducked under it, lowering herself so that barely a millimetre was between her and the blade. When she came back up, she launched her leg up at his chest plate, connected, and sent him back a couple of metres. Then she stood up straight, and tested out a new strategy. "You aren't very good at sword play, are you?"
-
Edited by Zalamiir: 11/12/2015 8:29:40 AMGrixis dug his feet into the ground to keep from sliding further. The way this Hunter evaded his attack. This one wasn't going to go down easily. He built up the Arc energy and charged at the Hunter once more. He saw that she was preparing for the same attack. He readied his sword to slash horizontally, and once he was in range again, he- His entire frame was engulfed in shadows at the last second, before vanishing from sight. A second later, he reappeared directly behind her, and striked. His attack launched her a few meters from the direction from where he had been pushed back. He saw the damage he dealt too, a gash across her back. It wasn't deep however, to his disappointment, but it wasn't shallow either. He would have also liked to have cut the cloak in the process, but that thing has been flapping in the wind. Too bad, it would have added insult to injury. Suddenly, a roar sounded from overhead. He looked up to see Emaria and his Jumpship going in for another attack on Shovoroth, as he seemed to fall a bit before regaining control of himself, his flight however was a little off. The roar came from Shovoroth, one that sound like a roar of pain, but other than the present wounds, there weren't any other injures, so why had he- It clicked in his head. They were bonded to each other, and their pain was shared. Oh this was too good. "So that is how you are keeping him alive. Your souls are bound to each other." He said aloud to the Hunter as she began to recover and get up. He reached out to Emaria. '[i]Don't hesitate to cripple him. Make him suffer.'[/i] '[i]Why, of course.'[/i] He focused back on the Hunter, waiting to see what she would do next.
-
Alice turned her head to see Grixis out the corner of her eye. "Teleportation? Seriously?" She snickers. "Can't even face me head on." She turns around to face him once more, then she looks up at Shovoroth, seeing him losing ground due to her carelessness. "Y'know, I get pissed off when I fall for idiotic tricks. So, let me show you some of my own." She pulls out all three swords and holds all three of them together by the hilt. A light sparks in her hands, causing a flash bang of light that temporarily stuns Grixis, and in that moment, she rushes forward with drastic speed. She slices three times, once on the leg, once at the arm and once at the head. The first two hit but Grixis staggers back, the swipe at the head missing. She dashes past as Darkness leaks out of the two injuries she dealt. She stands up straight with her sword on her shoulder, a big bastard sword glowing bright. "Meet Lights Conduit. Tier Seven." Unknowing to anyone on the battle field, Grixis's darkness slides along the ground to Alice and floats up to her wound, seeping into her. Meanwhile, Shovoroth and Emaria continue clawing at eachother with the ship making unfair advantages. "Garuud, deal with that ship." Alice says, turning back to Grixis.
-
Garuud got back up from the blast that Grixis dealt to him and looked at his smoldering armor. " Well, that would have smarted." Garuud reloaded his rocket launcher and fired a couple shots at the ship. It moved around them at the last second. " Wiley one are you?!" Garuud then began watching the ships trajectory and used his boosters and then fired a rocket underneath him to launch him up even further right onto the ships cockpit. " Hey guys! Big fan! Have something for you!" With that Garuud activated his hammer and began sending hammer after hammer into the ships cockpit cracking it more and more. With the last hammer it cracked the cockpit open and sent the ocupents flying out. " Hammer nice day!? bahahaha.... oh crap. Well, at least I can fly!" Another voice spoke up. " You cant fly." Just as the ship crashed into a cliff. Garuud pulls himself up. ' Maybe I cant fly, but it is also nice to have skills!" Garuud said as he made his way back down to the battle with Grixis.

Edited by Zalamiir: 11/12/2015 9:04:00 PMGrixis crashed to his left knee, the leg that hadn't been slashed open. His left arm had nearly been cut off as it had been cut halfway through the bone, allowing a large amount of Dark tainted blood to spill out on the rocks. The attack was. Unexpected. He was prepared for many things to counter. [i]That[/i], was not one of them unfortunately. Then his entire torso became engulfed in Light and Darkness, making it almost appear ethereal. The Reborn energies then traveled out along his arm and leg, and covered up each as well. It poured into each gash, and quickly reformed and healed each. When it was done, the Reborn energies dissipated, and leaving Grixis completely unscathed, as if he hadn't been hit at all. He slowly turned around to face the Hunter, holding the combination of the three swords. "I underestimated you." He called out. He quickly brought his free arm toward his chest and just as quickly brought it back to his side. When he did, the form of a Hive Cleaver appeared in his hand out of shadow. It's hilt was normal, but the entire blade itself was made of pure Darkness. At the same time, his first cleaver's entire blade became engulfed in pure Light. Then the Arc energy around his body became sporadic, electricity shooting out at no where in particular. "I will not make the same mistake again." At that moment, Shovoroth spoke to Alice telepathically when there was a break in his fight. '[i]Be careful, Alice. There is a reason why he has been the death of powerful Guardians.'[/i]
-
Alice swings the sword lazily through the air, observing the half light, half dark swords Grixis holds within his grasp. Although she'd like to finish this quickly, she knows full well her most powerful attacks drain her in an instant. So her best bet is to take him down slowly, piece by piece. She picks up Lights Conduit and points it at Grixis. "Two verses one. You like having those odds don't you? Two swords to my one, two ariel attackers against Shovoroth." Alice raises her other hand to the hilt of Lights Conduit to hold it two handed. "Let's even the odds." She spins around, spinning with the blade, launching her sword at Grixis's ship. Grixis, at first not knowing what was happening, didn't know how to deal with the flying sword, so he attempts to move the ship out of harms way, but by that stage, it's too late. The sword pierces the ships outer engines, making giant holes that throw the ship out of loop, causing it to descend to the ground in a scream of Hive energy. Alice turns around to see Grixis charging at Alice, about to clash both swords into her with high over cuts. A white light shoots through the edge of her vision, and clashes with the two swords before they can hit her. Alice looks up into Grixis's helmet, while her sword floats above her, dealing with the two arcing swords. She raises her arm to grip the handle, the sword regaining it's lost energy in the flight. "That's one of the Two down, now let's make it even between us." She says, as Lights Conduit begins to shimmer, then a second copy drops down into her hand. "Much better." Then she begins to press her advantage by swiping and blocking any chance that comes through. Meanwhile... A creature of Shadow stands on top of the cliff where Dark Shovoroth once rested. This creature watches the battle unfold, but especially Alice. It chuckles to itself. [i]"Soon."[/i] It breathes. [i]"Soon..."[/i]
-
Garuud had made his way back down to fight between Grixis and Alice. Garuud pulls out twin sol Edges and jumps into the fray " Bonzai!' he yelled as he began spinning with both blades out and making Grxis back up and then Garuud landed in front of Grixis and slashed both blades upward towards Grixis.
-
Grixis blocked the two swords halfway. And the Titan was directly in front of him. Nowhere to run. "You have my attention," he said in a deadpan tone, "Congratulations." The Arc energy around him dissipated, and was immediately replaced with Dark Solar energy as his entire body became engulfed in green fire. With the added strength, he jutted his swords upwards, disarming the mad Titan of both swords. His dark cleaver vanished and was replaced with a menacing looking Hammer of Sol. The entire thing looked like a creation of the Hive, as the end had three rows of three small spikes. He swung upward, hitting the Titan center-mass. The impact sent him flying into the air, and soon later hit the ground, hard, beside the Hunter.
