Planeswalking in these conditions did not go over well at all. The Plane was distorted and looked like.. well shit. Several distortions had disrupted time. Finding his forces, he could see a bit of time had passed.
"Mass Heal!" Azul spread the spell over his people. They got up pretty quickly moving to him. "Mental Cleansing Lv6." The full cast cleared the slight influence they were under. "How long am I off by?"
"A day." Cassandra said still tired. "I.. am tired. i want to leave. To many of our people are injured in a different way."
"Tell him!" Tifa said furious. "Or I will!" Azul arched an eyebrow.
"We were... betrayed." Jane said. Seeing her all jacked up, Azul healed her as well and the few forces that came with her. "Thank you. Someone planted in the head of Gatewatch that we were going to use the power for our own. They stopped helping with the containment spell. Emrakul was able to break free. It was weird since we just saw you run after him with several forces."
"Hmm.." Azul thought about and felt the link with Hilda to check. He received the info quickly. "Time Distortion. That was me. Despite the fact, I came here to help. The me from a different time left. It is trippy as hell. Someone is monkeying about. They are on the way to deal with.. Ulamog. I have a headache slightly from this."
"Are you up to fighting Emrakul?" Sorin asked. An angel floated down and had delivered a message to him. Azul nodded. "Then let's go. Then we deal with Gatewatch!" His eyes glowed with hatred.
"Maybe we should sit this out." Liliana voiced. She was still feeling the touch from Emrakul. "I do not think I can cast right now." A few others were the same way. "That thing burrowed inside my soul, I do not like it."
"I am the same. no way.. No way I can fight it yet." Jeska said. "Just give me a day. Then I will be ready." Swift felt the same, she looked at Azul who said nothing. Sorin was getting a little upset.
"I think we can wait a little. Regroup and get ready. A lot needs to be done here anyway. Innistrad.. can wait." Jane said. "We lost it once and barely brought it back. I am sure the wards can hold for a while."
"Haaaa, I.." Sorin's hands gripped tightly as he thought it over. He knew they were right. The fighting had been devasting. Especially after they had to deal with several forces from the User's that got involved. "Rest is what we need."
"Where the hell are we by the way?" Azul asked after they all settled down. "This place looks like shit."
"We do not know. We followed it here. Then.. well shit is odd." Jane said. "Time is off coming and going apparently from what you said." She eyed Azul's calm demeanor. Seeing him unaffected by everything was odd. "We can set up a place to rest properly if you are going to keep watch."
"Sure." Azul nodded. Turning to his forces he pulled out a few potions to give them. He floated over to help them each. "Drink up, will help with the feeling. Then meditate to help recenter yourself."
"This stuff is delicious!" Jeska downed the drink and sat down. A sphere of magic circled around her. The others doing the same and resting near him.
"You.. are.. more like your previous self." Tifa stated. She was speaking about him as Sunstrider. Feeling the biotic strands defintely matched that mindset. "Not that I am complaining."
"Good." Azul gave a small smile. "Wanna spar? Need to see if you can fight this beastie later." Azul's Dark Cosmos power wrapped around him fully. The very Plane itself rippled in slight fear.
Azul was completely covered in Black Surplice armor. Even a helmet covered his head and mouth. Black wings extended behind him. Slightly phantasmal in a way. What they were designed for, Tifa had know idea.
"You are on!" Tifa was pumped and happy to fight the effects of Emrakul this way. "I will show you my Cosmos!" Around her thighs, arms, legs and back, silver armor appeared. Symbol of a dolphin appeared on her back.
As the two fought, creatures up high watched them unknown to them at first. Azul's sense picked out the human in the bunch. he sent a small Biotic strand towards her. Just letting her know he knew she was there.
.
A day later-
.
The next day.. or really the equivalent of 25 hours, they were ready to go. A few of them felt a lot better, but slight misgivings of the betrayal still. Liliana couldnt get over Tifa and Azul having spar so intently. Destroying the landscape with out a care in the World. Tifa had a smile on her face the entire time. As far as the spectators could tell, Azul was happy as well. But his eyes looked kind but fierce.
"I still can not believe you are so strong! Why do you not fight like that all the time?" Tifa asked the moment she got up. Bothering Cassandra and Azul who leaned against a rock happily. Just sharing a moment. Cassandra didn't care but Azul looked a little miffed. "Come on!"
"It is.. not meant for fighting. Alone for training others that I care about." Azul said calmly. He smiled at her slightly. "I am not being mysterious or anything. It is just something I decided for now. Unless you plan on mastering the different aspects of the Hado and Dark hado, it will not matter."
"Nothing doing the Dark Hado. Do not like it." Tifa shook her head quickly. "Kind of stinks you will not teach me it without." Azul shrugged.
"The Power of Nothingness.. I think you can unlock it on your own anyway." Azul moved once Cassandra moved off him. She gave him a pick on the cheek then went to tend to her forces. "Just will take time."
"You.. went to Street Fighter or Pulled from there?" Jane asked intrigued.
"Both. But I will not be going back. And agreement I made with some is all." Azul answered neutrally. Jane's biotic strands were delightful all always. "Have you been?"
"Yes. Trained under Guile, Nash, and Sharon." Jane blushed a little. "I trained a little with Chun-Li but.. well the clothes and the training made me feel to funny."
"I bet." Azul smirked. "Should have kept up with it. I am sure Sorin would have loved to see you thick thighed."
"Haha, I would indeed." Sorin gave a small laugh. Swift next to him just blinking at the idea. "Ready?"
"Yup, but first.." Azul turned to the distance and yelled. "..Are you coming to help or keeping here like a scrub!" His voice amplified by psyker power cut through the vastness of things.
"Boom!" Something answered back. A flame appeared coming to in front of them. It turned into an old woman. Azul knew who she was after thinging of the possible people that could have come here during everything.
"Hello... Jaya Ballard. You have seen better years." Azul said. His tone was slightly flippant. The woman was quite old. Jaya did a lot during the Ice age period of Magic the gathering, or so rumor said. She was also the teacher of Chandra Nalar. And create a Fire school. "Defintely still bend you over a barrel and tap that though."
"Pffftt!" Kaervek spat the water he was sipping on out. It hit the back of Kharn's head. A vein popped out on the man in anger. "Sorry.. just.. damn. Age.."
"I am older than her. By.. like a lot actually." Azul smiled. "If we are being completely honest, I bet she has a very.."
"No my ears!" Jeska howled. Several people got a laugh from this. "Stop it. She could be my grandma."
"How charming." Jaya said. Her face was neutral. Not the response Azul expected. "I have come with a small request is all." Her eyes looked over most of them. "The Eldrazi menace.. stop it all cost. Then deal with the ones destroying the Planes."
"That is a very tall order." Liliana said.
"That it is." Sorin said. "We planned on doing that anyway."
"Yeah. You could help." Swift added in. "Instead of.. being here."
"If I could leave I would do so." Jaya said somberly. "What ever happened here made it difficult for me to leave. If not for a few things helping me, I would not be able to live this long."
"Well, we were just getting ready to go." Jane said. "You can come with us and help. Especially considering how powerful you are." She knew quite a bit about the woman. Seeing her, confirmed that they were in a really bad place. 'I wonder if Azul figured we were in the Blind Eternities. A very damaged one, but still here.'
"Time to go then." Azul cut his hand in the air creating a Black Rift. His forces left first, then Jane's forces. Sorin looked around for a bit, spotting something in the distance. "Careful now, that thing is really an ass."
"Yes.. yes it is." Sorin stepped in after Jaya. Azul moving in after closing the Rift behind him. He dropped a small device from his inventory. On the other side, they appeared in Innistrad. "Haaa, I really wish to see the boom."
The device Azul dropped, was a large improved Virus Bombs from Warhammer 30k-40k with D.G. cells. It detonated wiping out all life in the Blind Eternities. Every trace of bacteria and micro-organisms. As the virus burned in several directions, the D.G. cells followed behind after. Working in tandem and immune to the virus itself.
Azul could feel the will of the World fighting against it. But that was to make up for it getting in his way and screwing with his people. He slowed down enough and would make both speed up the next moment the Will of the World got in his way again.
Azul's Dark Cosmos burned brighter from his actions. As well as the power of the Everchosen. A person appeared into the place and watched everything. It was The Trickster. Galtana followed behind right after.
"Told you, you do not want him fighting in the War of the Users." Galtana said unbothered. She knew of the lengths Azul would go to for success. Thanks to Jaina and Melding with him. "He will come out the victor. And think nothing of it really."
"Yes.. I see that now. My daughter orchestrating him to be the Everchosen of Chaos might have been a very bad thing." The Trickster looked worried. His hand reached out about to remove the effects but was stopped on two fronts. Galtana grabbed his arm and the Creator sent him a message. "I.. understand."
"To late isn't it?" Galtana asked.
"Yes." The Trickster's eyes blinked as a few more Worlds fell due to the Traitor Users. "The Creator has shown me the Path that will lead Azul to the War. It will bloody. I should have stopped it."
"Pray he does not wind up like the other Pather." Galtana figured it would come to this. Her eyes turning to look deeply at the D.G. cells. 'Destruction and Creation in a way. He is thinking more with his abilities to disrupt the Will of the various Worlds. At least he did not turn into a Conqueror. Those are the worst.'
.
Emrakul.. is a devious bitch-
.
Innistrad looked more depressing than Azul thought it would be. A gloomy disposition over the place making things even more dreary. A battle was already underway. But was not in the locals' favor. The forces looked to be a stalling force.
Sorin took off to defend his home with Swift in an instant. Jane and her forces moving to help against the rampaging werewolf Eldrazi. Several others were fighting intently that Azul did not recognize.
Observe: User KingTesla Level 33
Status: Enraged, Desperate
Specialty: Demolishing, Vanguard, ????
The User looked to be wearing armor from Gears of War. His people dug in deep and kept the enemy at bay. Behind several injured remained. Azul sent Liliana, Cassandra and Gideon to help them. The others were to provide assistance to the front lines.
"How intresting." Azul flew over to them then cast Cycle Up and Hastega on them. Liliana was already healing them. "Time to clear things a bit." His hands raised up high as he pulled moisture from the surroundings. A lot of blood and stuff mixed. "Poseidon .. Destroyer!"
"Fwoosh!" The attack was devastating. The water-energy ball, tore through the front lines creating a large hole and giving the forces a chance to regroup. The allies in the way, received splashes of water. Healing them a little.
"We do not want the place destroyed!" Swift yelled at Azul.
"Ok, I am done helping then." Azul floated down not caring in the least anymore. He land down by the other User to talk with him. "So... how are you?" The man looked absolutely stunned.
"Fine.. feeling great. Have any more of that healing?" KingTesla asked. Azul nodded and cast Regen on all of them. "Oh, that feels great. all of our healers and medics were wiped out."
"Yeah... I kind of figure." Azul looked around and looked at the few bodies covered in sheets. He walked over to them. "Hmmm... well ok. You want them back? Not like zombie or anything but.. a few levels lost. It is weird since, those killed by the Eldrazi/Phyrexian group were supposed to lose their souls. But they still have theirs."
"Huh, oh.. that is easy, check it out." He removed the sheet showing a small pendant on one of the men. "Each of my people carry a Soul Gem around them. Extremely expensive and can not be removed from them. Helps negate all kinds of things. So much was spent on these." He scratched his cheek a little embarrassed. "They are my family. I can not lose them so no expense spared."
"I can understand that." Azul felt the genuine Biotic Strands from him and those of his forces. They were really close. "I can not let you fall here. You are defintely a good User."
"Clap!" Azul smacked his hands togethor and pulled on black and white mana from the atmosphere. Spreading his hands outward, it infused into the bodies of the down forces. Cuts and tears were closed up. The effects from the Eldrazi and Phrexians were forced out of them.
"Woah.. thanks." KingTesla watched the screens and could see his forces' health restore. "All I need to do is finish up here and head out. Defintely should not have listen to my Operator and came to this War. But, we needed the points to help find a new HomeWorld."
"You lost your HomeWorld.. what was it?" Azul could understand that feeling. He came across a few Users that happened to in the future.
"XCOM: Enemy Unknown. We lost everything. And a place to fall back to. My Operator is currently in a Coma after physically getting attacked so it is just standard stuff now for missions." His face brightened seeing his people get up. They gave a nod and immediately went back to fighting. "magic.. is not our thing. But we were desperate. More use to warfare of a different sort."
Azul nodded as he checked some things over on a screen. He kept a eye on his people fighting. Every now and then casting Curaga on someone of his. He stopped on one that caught his eye. Medal of Honor Warfighter.
"Help them and I will help you set up somewhere else. Deal?" Azul asked serious.
"You got it!" KingTesla was fully healed from the Regen working hard. "I will help take back this hellhole and secure a new home." He had a lot of energy as he moved to the frontlines.
"Haaa, this fighting is crazy." Liliana said to the side. Gideon had moved forward after the tide turned a little. She eyed Azul a little. "You are just going to stay back now aren't you?" He nodded. "providing support despite the power you have, makes me wonder."
"Well, if Swift would not have said anything, I would have kept firing blasts to help do damage and heal. So now I will just heal, our forces." Azul smiled. "Sometimes it is my way, or no way. She needs to understand that. or suffer the consequences." He rather just rip her a part as punishment, but that was a little to far. Considering he was suppose to things differently. 'Hmm, watching has its perks. Feels like I am smack dab in a movie.'
"What about against Emrakul?" Cassandra coming over to him. "Are you gonna help against her?"
"Huh.. oh yeah." Azul answered actually keeping an eye on the Eldrazi in the distance. It was pulling at the Plane taking the mana from it. But Azul had started infecting it slowly with Indoctrination. it was a very slow process from this distance. "I am keeping an eye on her. She is very dangerous."
"So... should we go in and help to?" A small force had arrived from a Rift to the side. It was Emma Frost a few others. Having finished their task and having split their group up to head out to several places. "It is good to see you so.. composed." She was admiring the Black Surplice armor. Feeling the raw power from it. 'Umm, it makes him look so.. sexy. I bet Psylocke is creaming her pants right now.'
She was right. She eye fucked Azul so hard, Liliana actually felt uncomfortable and moved away.
"So can we like.. go and have some fun?" Psylocke approached him sensually. Azul grabbed her head and gave her a tap. "Ugggh! That.. is nice..." She dropped like a sack of potatoes convulsing.
"That is.. what the hell!?" Emma asked. "How did you do that?"
"A lot of things." Azul smirked. "I circulated excess of pleasure complements of well does not matter. Very easy to do. And very pleasurable. Think of it as a full body massage. Including in one's soul as well."
"So.. do we need have any special things with you to get that." A honor guard asked. Azul shook his head no. "I would really like a dose." He poked her temple as she started squirming determined to fight the pleasure till she sat down. "Ohhh this is totally worth it!"
"Hahaha, ok." Azul smiled. Looking back at the battlefield, he cast Cycle Up on his Planeswalkers and Shield on the others. Seeing Jane taking a bad blow, he hit here with Heal, Attack Up, and Defense Up. "She is fighting desperately she must have noticed the Plane crying."
"Have you?" Emma asked. She was torn in paying attention to the fighting and deciding if she wanted a tap. Reason won out, unfortunately. Azul nodded. "Are you going to do anything about it?"
"I am. Helping the fighting by providing support. As well as attacking Emrakul from here. Which is a little tiring but, it is letting me control my magic better." Azul blinked at Jeska turning into a Dargon and firing a purple fireball scorching a large wave of Eldrazi. "She seems to have lost her temper. Good for her. She is quite stressed."
"Hey, who is the old lady?" Emma asked seeing Jaya move about like a burning hurricane. "She has some serious moves."
"Oh, that is Jaya. A very powerful Pyromancer." Azul watched as they finished mopping up everything. 15 minutes later they came back. Swift coming at him like a fierce lioness. "Yes?"
"Why.. did.. you.. stay.. back?" She asked through gritted teeth. "We.."
"Because of you griping at the way he fought." Jane said outright. She was very aware of what happened. "The attack he launched, damaged the area and healed our forces that attacked. Snapping at him was a dumb move. Especially considering what was going on already."
"So a small little spat causes him to sulk!?" Swift said angry.
"Well, you can look at it that way." Azul raised his finger up wagging it at her. "I chose to provide support instead, and attack Emrakul Who happens to be draining Innistrad of it's mana. Very busy woman."
"You thought this unimportant to tell us!?" Swift raged. Azul just blinked at her and shrugged. He signaled his forces to gather around. They were about to leave. "Now what!?"
"Shut up!" Sorin said fiercely. Swift turned to him feeling hurt. "You have been acting weird for awhile now. Snapping his people and at him. It is getting on my nerves. If you would have paid attention, you would have known the PLane was getting leeched off of. I told you to keep a feel out for that."
"Tch!" Swift looked down knowing he was right. "He still could have helped more."
"I was." Azul added. "Emrakul has been.. poisoned. I think your people can take care of it. We are leaving." Azul turned to Emma and Psylocke who stood up refreshed. "Open the Relay you have."
"Right." The two said togethor. An artifact left the two and combined into the magical relay. It spun already ready to go.
"Thanks for the help." Azul said to KingTesla. He passed over the coordinated to the World for him to set up in. "I was gonna go there myself. But, I can see it would do you good."
"Thanks." He keyed it in, and a Golden Rift opened for his forces. "I will not forget this." His people walked in first. "I will pay you back one day, I swear." The Rift closed behind. They did not leave any copies behind.
"Sorry it turned out this way." Jane said saddened. "The thing with Chandra.. and.. just things took a bad turn."
"Oh do not worry about it." Azul shrugged. "My people got some fighting in, and I enjoyed watching everyone fight. So it is a win for me."
"I.. want to stay and fight." Tifa said. "I.. feel bad not fighting this.. thing." Azul nodded seeing nothing wrong with it. "Glad you are not mad."
"No reason to be. What happens happens. Anyway, things have gone bad with Ulamog, so this works to." The others left through the Relay. Azul had some parting words for Sorin. "Ugin... and Teferi.."
"No need." Sorin stopped him. "I am ok not knowing. If you ever see past what happened today, come back for a visit. I would like to show you a few spells." Azul nodded walking through.
"All because your girlfriend is mad at you, you cost an ally!" Jane lifted her friend and lover Sift up the scruff of her neck. "Since when.. since when did you get so stupid!?"
"I.. just.. I do not know. Things have been off with you me and Sorin." Swift said making a poor excuse. "You have been so driven lately. And Sorin.. well he is Sorin."
"Because I do not want our home to get wiped. Or our people to die like before." Jane said still heated. "We are better than this. When this is over, we are going to have a long talk. Now let's go and crush a Titan and rip apart it's Psyche!"
The forces nodded and moved out. The sky was full of flying creatures as Sorin empty out his vault of Monsters. Defeating the Eldrazi group awarded Jane enough points to secure a few things.
Jaya followed behind taking everything in silently. The group was very spirited. If not for feeling Azul gaze in the distance towards Emrakul, she would thought he was a very uncaring man. But then again, she also felt the healing spells a few times on herself. As well as spotting it anyone close to death.
'A very calculating young man. Very dangerous indeed.' SJya remembered a few of the words he said to her before. 'I wonder if her was serious about putting me over a barrel?' The old woman's cheeks blushed a little. 'Despite my old age, I still got it. Hehe.'
.
Ulamog is slippery-
.
"Do it, Lettie!" Azul yelled. His Millennium Eye burning hot as he kept his grip on Ulamog. 'Damn! I spent so much energy fighting against Gate watch. They will pay for this!'
The containment spell they used on Ulamog was broken apart by Gatewatch. It was so sudden that, Azul had to smack himself to make sure. It was about to cost them as the Eldrazi broke free and escaped.
"Boom!" A wave of magical energy tore into them knocking them away. Azul barely had enough time to secure a Barrier to protect his people. Ulamog was gone when they recovered.
"Noooo!" Azul roared in defiance. His body was wracked with injures in his Obelisk the Tormentor form. Grabbing at the space in the Plane and prying it apart forcefully. "You .. will.. not.. escape.. me!"
"Woosh!" The gem on Azul's head glowed as he devoured the mana and psyche's in the current area. Burning with power with power, a crack opened as he tore an opening.
"Go!" He ordered a few of his people.
