RPG-Superhumans (Page 34 of 40)

Chromium siezed the opportunity of the two fallen foes and morphed his right arm into a huge blade and the left arm into a giant hammer. He extended his hammer and swung at the bomb that Drakeus threw, it went spiraling into the darkness of the warehouse and exploded. He  then ran at the huddled masses of Drakeus and Harry and brought down his mighty hammer of Drakeus and slashed at Harry.

Harry parried Chromium with a steel blade of his own, and fired a blast of ice to counteract Flame's fire beofre clocking the lizard man upside the head with one of acero's fists.

Darklight was heading towards him, so Harry decided to give him a treat. Using his psychic powers, Harry broadcasted Darklight his memories of killing Starbright, how soft her flesh was, how her screams of pain had warmed his heart, and the sound she made as he split her into two. Darklight fell to the gorund, gasping for breath and clutching his head.

Harry then picked up Flame and tossed him into Chromium before psychically shoving both of them into a wall and tossing several crates on top of them, just as Ronin and Jericho entered the fracas.

"Oh this is going to be easy." Ronin muttered, unsheathing his techno-katanas.

"Jer, you take Drakeus, I'll handle that thing over there."

"Is that........ Harry?"

"I'm willing to bet so, old pal. Try not to die, okay?"

"Okay."

Jericho began to open fire on Drakeus as Ronin jumped at Harry, slashing at the monstrosity's back.

"Harry, really, look at the mess you're making. You realize you're gonna have to clean this up, right? Course, you used to be a bartender, so I guess you can clean this up!" Ronin dodged a pillar of Voidhunter-substance and landed a haymaker on Harry, which seemed to do little to no damage.

"Well--"

"HHHHHRRRRRAAAAAHHHH!" The monster called Harry growled, breathing a stream of flame that struck Ronin square in the chest, sending him flying. Evidently, Harry had degenerated to the point of being unable to speak.

Ronin fell next to Flame and Chromium who were still picking themselves up.

"Need some help?" Ronin asked, making sure nothing of his was broken.

"No." Chromium repeated to Ronin, he hadnt heard Flames telepathic "No".

He threw the crates off of himself and ran after Flame. He saw Flame going for one of Harry's legs and so he went for the other, swinging both hammer and sword at it.

Flame was once again hit by one of the shadow tendrils, and once again thrown against the wall. He heard another snap, and tasted blood.He coughed. When he started to stand, pain erupetd in his chest, and he needed to brace himslef against the wall for a moment. Another rib was out of the game. Chromium drew back quickly and two huge peices of soon-to-be scrap metal hit the abomination. Flame prepared himself for a moment, and began to charge again before the chuncks of metal hit the concrete floor.

Haze managed to hold both chunks of machinery. She threw them at Drakeus who was zeroing in on Jericho and didn't notice her intent. She struck the demon and it allowed Jericho to reload.

Haze wiped her brow. The broken rib was really taking its toll on her concentration. She looked at Harry wonder how he had faired from her assault.

Jack sat there gasping for breath.  The evil blades had left quite a mark.  But the even more intense pain that followed was a good sign.  His healing power was working overtime.  Jack ignored the pain and his now blood soaked shirt.  He sucked in his breath.

"That actually hurt Drake my boy.  Now you have me bleeding all over."  Jack pulled out his own katanas an swiped at the reeling Drakeus taking out his left achilles heel.  Drakeus responded with a vicious backhand to the side of Jack's head.  Jack was up seeing a lot of red.  He was sure he had a cut on his head.  He followed te blood on his head seeing the wound had heeled.  But his rib cage was still pouring out blood.  He grabbed a grenade and hurled it at Drakeus.

Desdemona was preparing for another attack when Lilith appeared. "What are you doing?" she asked coldly.

Desdemona was not offended, cold was generally the tone of voice soul eaters. "I'm protected those who aren't supposed to die yet."

"That's not our purpose, Desdemona and you know it." Lilith said as she watched the battle.

"Who are you here for?" Desdemona asked.

Lilith smiled without feeling, "If I told you that it'd ruin the surprise."

Harry had flew back, and Flame saw his chance. He ran again, throwing fire at the thing. He reached the downed abomination, and raised his hands. A massive flare formed inbetween them, he began to bring his hands downward, aiming at the thing's face. The flare sputtered and died half way down. Flame didnt understand. He felt something, a dull pain in his abdomen. He looked down, and saw the arm, it had been formed into a blade, but it was red, not silver. Flame didnt remember a red arm. Then Flame realised what had happened. "Help." he said, then the arm swung, and threw him to the far wall.

(not quiet dead....yet)

Darklight unleashed all the power he had stored up to this point at Harry, knocking him back a bit farther.  He ordered Sunburn to go and turn Harry into a crisp.  The pyrophore complied, adding the power of the sun into the fray.  Meanwhile, Void struck at his hated enemy, Darklight.  Seeing a new, and more familiar foe, Darklight turned, and began to battle Void, this time armed with the knowledge that if he died, Void died, and vice versa.

Both conjured up a suit of armour composed entirely out of light and shadow, light for Darklight, and shadow for Void.  Their newly created monstrous swords clashed in a shower of sparks, black and gold, raining about them.  Whenever their blades struck the armour, it would chop off a chunk of the mterial, only to have it reform.  It was the typical, traditional standstill.  But this time, Darklight had a different idea, one he had never tried before, one he had never DARED to try before.  He let his shielded armour fall.

Void halted, his blade millimetres from Darklight's chest.  His own armour shut off, and he approached the hero, a sneer evidently in place.

"Giving up already, Nicky?"

"Nope; just doing something...unexpected."

Without warning, he shoved his fist into Void's semi-solid stomach, and grimaced at the cold mushy touch.  He then charged his clenched fist with light, and then withdrew his hand, leaving a globe of light inside Void's body.  At the same time, a razor sharp tendril darted into Darklight's ribcage, adn deposited a globe of shadow inside Nick.  Darkness within light, light within darkness, the conflicting natures of both abilities screaming against this melding of essences.  Darklight's body began to shine with a black light, and aura of darkness spreading out from his shaking form.  Void's body began to shine with an aura of brilliant light emanating outwards, also convuslign in pain.  And then they both screamed, the chaotic conflict within them literally tearing their esences apart.  For while light cannot exist without darkness, and while darkness cannot exist without light, neither can exist within the other. 

With a brilliant flash of light and shadow they were consumed by the chaos within, and vanished.  A massive explosion echoed throughout the warehouse, and a shockwave of unleashed power coursed across the floor, knocking every super in the area to their knees, gasping for breath.  When they rose, Darklight and Voidhunter had disappeared, leaving only a patch of glowing darkness in their wake.

Flame sat there, trying to stop the bleeding, it wasnt working, he couldn't move his legs. Why wouldent the fire come? He was unsure. He looked up, and saw the others, ready to kill the abomination.

Haze turned to the others. "I've paralysed his body. Only his shadow arm will work. He can't keep going for much longer as I've also affected his organs. Once you're nerves die they can never heal.

Frost lifted a brow, "You did all that?"

Haze shrugged, "I'm not particularly proud but it had to be done."

Frost decided to lash Harry with another layer of ice. Jericho shot at various parts of Harry's frozen anatomy which then shattered in messy bloody ice cubes. Sunburn was focussed on trying to burn Harry's shadow arm while Harry tried to kill him.

Haze could hear Harry's breath growing shorter as his lungs started to fail him. She ignited the psy-blade once more. Vandal hovered about and took out the spine from Noxious. "I've got this one, Haze." Vandal said as she levitated close enough to Harry to stab it into his neck.

Harry twitched and grabbed the spine with his shadow hand and pulled it out, he threw it at Vandal who tried to dodge but the spine scratched her skin as it passed. "No!" she gasped as she dropped to the floor holding her arm which now burnt like fire. Sunburn ran to her, "Take off your belt and I'll wrap it around your arm - it'll stop the poison traveling so fast."

Vandal did as Sunburn instructed and he wrapped the belt around her arm. Vandal sat down and tried to calm herself but panic had already set in. "I'm going to die, aren't I?"

Haze looked on as Harry's head twitched, it was the last part of him that could move. Sunburn walked to Harry, avoiding the shadow arm and place his burning hand on Harry's face. "Die you monster!" he yelled as he sent a fresh wave of flames down his hand. Harry screamed for a moment then finally died.

((Hope that's okay by everyone.))
