Outside V: More civilized than Inside

[happyturtle]

"Should I come too, Master?" Lyn asks anxiously. Horray! The teagirl / enslaved minion has a name!

[Saurous]

"Hmm? Oh, you might as well. There's really no point to cleaning up all the gazebo bits right now, anyways."

He then turns to Magtok, now having turned around so many times that he's starting to feel woozy. Why can't people just stand in front of him at all times?

"Would you like to help, too, Magtok?"

[Lord Magtok]

Hm? Oh, no. Sorry. I'm kinda busy, there's this "I'm going to explode a spiffy landmark for every once in a while your president has yet to surrender to me" thing going on. Maybe next time, though.

And the tin man walks off.

[Vespe Ratavo]

All right then. First target, GLoG. Vespe starts walking off in its general direction. Okay, so first we get these awesome handyman disguises, with the jumpsuits and the big mustaches and... He doesn't seem to notice that no one is listening to him.

[horngeek]

[Near GLoG]

Three portals open in reality.

And an army of monsters steps through.

A thousand, all told.

A hundered are massive, of the same type that attacked GLoG.

Nine are about the same size as the thousand, but are far more.. sleek, it seems. Powerful.

One looks like a Samurai, but with white bone armour.

And Vileheart leads them.

Apocalypse has come to the Nexus. Again.

[Ashen Lilies]

Somehow, I doubt there is a revelation to be had with this one.

[horngeek]

Armageddon, then.

In Huerco Muendo, where most Hollows reside, they notice.

The army splits up. Or mobs up. Some go to Inside, to start killing and devouring there.

Some go to GLoG.

[Reinholdt]

Calublufiok is suddenly floating above watching the going ons. You don't bring this many through holes in reality without getting noticed.

[horngeek]

Vileheart appears in front of him. Nice day for watching things burn, don't you think?

Some of the Hollows are heading towards GLoG.

And other tears are happening. Other Gillian and ordinary Hollows are appearing.

[Reinholdt]

"I see you've lost sight of your goal in favor of pure power mad destruction." Cal says nonchalantly.

[horngeek]

I told you Karuka died, Cal.

You don't seem to get it. Her goals have nothing in common with mine.

[Ashen Lilies]

Armageddon, then.

In Huerco Muendo, where most Hollows reside, they notice.

The army splits up. Or mobs up. Some go to Inside, to start killing and devouring there.

Some go to GLoG.

Except Armageddon is a location, not an event...
>.>
<.<
I'll shut up now.

[Reinholdt]

"And your goals are...?"

[horngeek]

Watch everything burn.

Hey, Inner Hollows have simple instincts.

[Reinholdt]

"Indeed. It's your... simplicity that makes my day. I appreciate men like you."

Translated from Cal speak:
You're a fool and a distraction and therefore useful to me as I fly under the radar and do things far more devastating than you could ever dream.

[horngeek]

Hey, Vileheart doesn't care much.

I did manipulate Karuka into letting me kill her.

And don't claim is was your actions. I've been manipulating her for 600 years.

[Reinholdt]

Cal yawns. "You've been failing for 600 years. But if it spares your ego, believe what you like."

Calublufiok disappears. He cares not for this war. Though will certainly use the distraction to his advantage behind the patented purple curtain he stole from Magtok.

[horngeek]

Karuka laughs. She goes off to wreak havoc.

[The Bushranger]

Somewhere else...

An innocent family of bugbears is out hunting, approaching a herd of wildebeest. Just when they're about to get into range, the herd is spooked...

THOOM

...and then incinerated by a massive blast of blue-white energy.

Well, that was good for a starter...

The bugbears, frozen, look up, and see...



...however it's always more fun when they scream.

The bugbears take a hint, and start to run.

But it's hard to outrun a well-aimed Hadoken.

THOOOOOOOM!

[FireFox]

In a shadow, under a bush, an adult black fox watches the scene. Created by Tobias himself, the animal is almost impossible to see when it uses natural camouflage.

[The Bushranger]

The looks-a-lot-like-Erin-but-sure-isn't-acting-like-her woman decends into the carnage, and walks over to where the smouldering remains of the bugbears are.

And kicks a femur like a football.

Bah. This was hardly worth it, only a little carnage and hardly any screaming at all...

[FireFox]

The fox watches impassively as storm clouds begin to gather over head. A single bolt of lightning flickers down from the sky, towards Erin.

[The Bushranger]

KRACKOOM!

...she wasn't looking out for that.

And thus is blown away!

...a few feet, rolling and up to her feet, seemingly unharmed, and with balls of black energy forming around her fists.

Alright, who's there? Come out and let me strangle you!

[FireFox]

The hidden animal takes note of her reaction and continues to watch. No more lightning, and silence falls. Complete silence too. No wind, animals, or plants make a noise.

[Beans]

[The Beach]
One of HALO's pod-dealios comes up, carrying Pesty and Grant.

[DoomITP]

Grant is walking with Pesty, he isn't sure where she is going.

[The Bushranger]

[Woods somewhere]

The hidden animal takes note of her reaction and continues to watch. No more lightning, and silence falls. Complete silence too. No wind, animals, or plants make a noise.

Slowly the woman turns, glaring at the woods around her. I'm giving you until three to show yourself, then I'm going to burn you out!

[FireFox]

[Woods]

There's a snap of a twig behind Erin. If she turns to look at it, Tobias will appear in what would then be behind her and attempt to hold a bone knife to her throat.

[Beans]

Grant is walking with Pesty, he isn't sure where she is going.

She just walks along the shoreline with him.
It's nice out here, isn't it?

[DoomITP]

Yeah, I've swam in a sea like this once.


It's very cold.


He grins.
