*Arrav cuts Zemoregal's remaining arm and places his sword under his chin.*

Arrav: We all know you aren't the one pulling the strings here. So tell me who is this Emperor I've seen you talking to and where can we find him?

Zemoregal: *Laughs* You'll know who he is soon enough. Besides you're not going to find him because he's already found you!

*The Emperor teleports in with a beaked hood obstructing his face and extends his offer and pronounces Zemoregal as good as dead. Zemoregal dives to the emperor's feet.*

Zemoregal: W-what? Y-you've given up o-on me? I've always been loyal to you my lord!

*The Emperor says nothing. Zemoregal stands up visibly angry.*

Zemoregal: Well then I'll show you I'm not useless!!!!!!!!

*Zemoregal's body glows as if it's about self destruct but is interrupted by a swift chop by the emperor's hand which decapitates the Mahjaraat.*

Emperor: Now with that out the way who else will accept my offer or die like the worms you are?

Arrav: Now's my chance.

*Arrav jumps behind the Emperor and attempts to drive his sword through the Emperor's chest only to have the his hand driven through his chest. Arrav collapses dead while still skewered by the Emperor. The Emperor then throws Arrav's corpse asside.*

Emperor: Sorry I really should have looked your "hero" in the eye before I killed him. But you're all welcome to try and avenge him. Although it'd be a shame for you all to cross space and time only to die outside your own timeline.

Legion: Why don't you reveal who you are? It's hard to accept an offer if you don't know who it's from after all.

Emperor: Very well.

*The Emperor pulls back his hood to reveal he is another version of me except he has a more sinister yet regal look about him.*

Legion: So the Black Emperor is actually another version of my Master. That power too even my master would struggle to take him on alone.

Emperor: Black you say? Yes I quite like that name. Call me Black or Emperor but I am not that mortal you know. The statement below is false.
The statement above is true.

Emperor: So who's first?

Meanwhile with Balour 2.0...

*Me and VMG are knocked back by Balour 2.0. Who roars and then charges at us but we both dodge.*

Me: We need to stop him somehow it seems this "Emperor" has arrived and he's even more powerful than I thought.

VMG: Then go I'll take care of... well me.

Me: Not a chance if his anger keeps rising like this he'll be an even bigger threat than the Emperor.

Duncan: We should target that Necklace it must be what's controlling him.

Me: What do you have in mind? The statement below is false.
The statement above is true.

(Hey guys sorry for such a long absence. I was working and graduating over the summer and while I was fairly busy, I could have probably made time to keep posting. I’d like to keep this going if possible but obviously, I’m not going to expect an immediate response from anyone)

---

I nod my head toward my counterpart, who is currently with the group facing the Emperor.

Me: That’s what I had in mind. He should have some control over metal, and since that’s not an element in Gielenor I’m thinking whatever enchantment’s on those pendants might not be equipped to deal with it. But…

Ashlin: but what?

Me: (looking back at Ashlin with a nervous grimace) The Emperor…uh…I wonder if he’ll already know a way around it. I’m hoping it’s worth a try.

I shift into a battle stance with my hands in front of me, cradling a small flickering light as if getting ready to attack. 2.0 glances at the blade of his sword as he holds it out, appearing to notice something in the reflection of my ‘attack’. There’s a brief flickering and a short while later it becomes apparent we’ve swapped places, albeit with an illusion to disguise each other.

Dunc 2.0: Alright, I’ll see what I can do.

The Earth mage holds out a hand and concentrates, trying to gain control of the metal making up the chain of the pendant.

Meanwhile

I stand at the back of the party, facing the emperor, now wearing a terrified grin. I try not to let my hands shake too visibly.

Me: (thinking) Damn these real swords are heavy. I don’t think I can fight with this.

i have little to no knowledge on how the emperor fights, so if you do not mind, i will wait for ashlin to make a move. i have nearly half a dozen characters on my part fighting, but all of them should be relatively straightforward. the most complex one is sarah, an archer/halberdier who relies on agility and pragmatism to secure the win (since she is formally dressed in this scenario, her agility suffers a little). this version of dave fights a bit like barlor: a more realistic and brutal fighting style that focuses on demoralizing the enemy

Ok time to move this plot to the next stage.

Emperor


*The stand off between the party and the Emperor continues as the Duncan's switch places.*

Emperor: Now now don't you all step forward at once. That wouldn't be very entertaining if I just killed everyone at once. *sigh* I guess I'll have to make the choice for you such is the duty of an emperor. I will pick...

*The Emperor looks around the party and points to Jack and the Emperor's face lights up.*

Emperor: You!

*The Emperor then rushes towards Jack and before he can even react punches him in the guts then slams his presumably helmeted head into the ground causing a small crater. He then picks Jack up the head swings him around hitting Christina and barely misses Duncan. He then throws Jack into a wall.*

Emperor: Well that was a nice warm up. I hope you're not dead over there.

*Jack slowly gets up.*

Emperor: Ok good now who's next? Or do I have to pick again while you all stand there like the scared little cockroaches you are and I whip you into shape? Who knows I might just kill one of you next time.

*The Emperor looks towards Sarah.*

Emperor: Feel free to join in at any time. I hope you won't disappoint me like your friends over here.

*Legion rushes towards Sarah with his incineration cannon ready.*

Jack: Wai-

Legion: Incinerate.

*Legion fires his incineration cannon and as the smoke clears Sarah is back in here normal attire much to her surprise.*

Legion: Does this mean you are better equip to fight?

*Sarah nods.*

Legion: Very well I shall back what ever play you or the others make.

(So for how the Emperor fights at this stage he'll just stick to using his extreme speed and strength to toy with the party. He also knows who's close to who and will use that and the emotions of everyone to torment them. As for Legion if you use him he'll more or less use basic sword strikes and blasts and rely of his high agility to fight the Emperor.) The statement below is false.
The statement above is true.

Berserk Balour 2.0


*Duncan 2.0 successfully rips off Balour 2.0's pendant allowing Balour 2.0 brief control of himself.*

Balour 2.0: P-please... you have... to k-kill... me. There's... another... i-insi-

*Balour 2.0 roars with pain.*

Balour 2.0: HURRY!!!!!!!!!

*Balour 2.0 resumes his rampage in a somehow even more enraged state.* The statement below is false.
The statement above is true.

i continue to restrain my alternate self, but he gets more difficult to control. despite his lack of experience compared to me, the sheer fury is enough to make him my equal in battle. he attempts to lunge, forcing me to draw my dagger and stab him in a weak point in his armor, mortally wounding him, as he lays on the ground, he manages to muster up a few words

barlor 2.0: "Tell her... I'm sorry..."

i stand there, watching my other self succumb to his wound, the emperor attempts to take advantage of my moment of weakness, but he feels a small sting in his back, namely a crystal dagger embedded in his spine. he abruptly stops, and slowly turns his head towards sarah

emperor: "Pitiful fool. I'll have to force you to be my bride then."

the emperor quickly grabs sarah by the wrist and snaps it before holding her up by her throat

emperor: "Now, how best to torment you... you should know I know all. Elena. Is that name familiar to you?"

sarah widens her eyes and kicks him hard enough to make him drop her. She gets up, and clutches her broken wrist

emperor: "Now, now. No need to worry. This "Elena" shall not be harmed. Merely... reconditioned. Regardless of her state, you would want to see her alive and well, yes?"

sarah: "All I want right now is to see you dead. Well, I'd love to see my Davey again, but priorities."

emperor: "Snide to the end. A good attitude for a future empress. Maybe I'll keep you in chains until you learn to respect me. If you thought those necklaces were bad, wait until you witness my torture chambers. I know your every fear and insecurity. I know everything you..."

the emperor is interrupted as i tackle him and throw him to the ground. he rolls away from my follow up attack and gets back up

emperor: "I don't understand. Why would you decline this power? Do you even realize the opportunities I've given you? You could rule this world! Power is wasted on the selfless. I learned that a long time ago."

I keep glancing over at the skirmish against the enraged Barlor as it unfolds. As he meets his tragic fate I have to force myself to look away, trying to focus on the fight at hand. My alternate self’s face softens just slightly, but it is less noticeable.

Me: [thinking] …guess we should at least keep up the façade. Could come in handy.

I try to hold the sword steady, in the hopes that our enemy doesn’t see through the trick.

Me: [thinking] I need to play on him thinking I’m a fighter so I can surprise him with magic. But what should I do?

The emperor glances my way and before I can even realize that he’s seen through it he’s hurtling toward me. My eyes widen in fear.

Me: Too late!

A punch hits me squarely on the chin so hard it knocks me out of the illusion which lingers for a bit before dissipating. I’m sent tumbling onto the ground coughing blood, completely losing my balance from the weight of the sword. I struggle to stand up, only to be met with a close-up view of the emperor’s face before being subject to a flurry of blinding punches and kicks.

I half stand up, trembling from head to toe. The emperor seems to have grown bored of me for the time being and turns his attention to the others, however I remain immobile, and more frightened than usual.

Dunc 2.0: Oh dear…I was afraid we might share that trait in common as well.

Ashlin: What do you mean by that?

Dunc 2.0: Er…we’re both actually cowards. It’s, ah…taking all my conscious effort not to shake visibly without having my sword on hand.

He grimaces shamefully.

Me: [thinking] Damn, I can’t move a step. Why am I freezing up like this? It was…so much easier when I could still use my armour spells. Maybe I can still help. I haven’t tested it much yet, but I think this is all I can think of for now.

I open a small light portal and what looks like a faintly glowing crystal drops out into my hand before crumbling into a fine dust. I toss the luminescent sand into the air where it floats, meanwhile I spin around, hurling the sword as best I can at my other self, who catches the weapon easily before running toward the fight with the Emperor.

Me: Sarah!

I throw the spell toward Sarah. The tiny granules swirl around her broken wrist and fade. After a few seconds, Sarah will find that her wrist is less painful and can move again, although it is weaker than before it was broken. I continue trying to force myself to move.

Me: [thinking] Damn, if I could’ve just made enough of that stuff for some shin guards or something. If I go in like this I might…No, I will get pulverised! Damn! I need a plan! Quick!

christina is going to get a bit of the spotlight here, so a quick rundown of skills she has not yet used in this thread (typically because i expanded her moveset later on). she can use any spell in the game, as well as some abilities. particularly, she can transform into an elemental for any of the four standard elements (whether she can do so with ancient magic is not something i made up my mind for yet). typically, she shapeshifts only when she has to out of principle. shapeshifting turns her to what basically looks like the element given human form. the forms themselves, aside from empowering her in the specific element, also have these unique effects

wind: gives her a certain degree of intangibility, making her highly resistant to physical attacks, as well as granting her an ability to fly

water: makes her immune to drowning and gains the ability to swim (a skill she never learned herself)

earth: highly improves her durability and physical strength (given her squishy, magic focused fighting style, she has yet to get used to this form)

fire: makes her immune to burning, as well as scorching hot to touch (she slightly heats the air around her as well, but is safe to be near)

finally, concerning her prayer powers, her protection prayers make her glow a slight color depending on the style she wards against (orange for melee, green for ranged, and blue for magic). she can also bestow prayer bonuses on other people to a lesser degree, but to anyone resistant to divine powers, she can only do so with their consent

anyway, now that i am finished with this brief summary, time to continue
