The Last Poster Wins! [v8]

[Sir Sivelos]

*SIVELOS tenses. This is very tense. It's so tense as if tomorrow isn't even a thing.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Tazz: <"Black! You there?">

The Black: <"I've got you, I'm seeing you now-...Oh...">

Tazz: <"We've got a horde of Darksigns beyond my ax-Darksign undead, and yes, those Darksign Undead.">

The Black: <"Wonderful...I'll be down shortly. And yes, I got the memo.">

Tazz: Wait, what-

*As the Boarspiders regroup and attempt another assault, they're uncerimoniously destroyed-immediately-by the sudden appearance of the Void, ripping the cave in a perfectly spherical shape and destroying them all. The shape shrinks, then the Black pops out of it with a source of light emitting from his hands.*

*Tazz removes the Universe Edge from the wall*...Soooo...

*The Black is staring at Teal. Harshly. At this juncture, it's easy to tell that the outfits they both wear are similar, both mottled grey and meant for prioritizing stealth with as much protection as possible squeezed in. The highlights were different, of course.*

Teal:...So, Tazz...This was your plan, I guess? Logical, I doubted you had the kind of ability to do it-no offense. I did not expect this, however...

The Black: Didn't expect me alive?...Fair enough, a**, but you of all people should know I'm the go-to guy in case of impossible odds.

Teal:...To be honest, I have no clue what's going on here in detail, how do you know him? *Teal points at the Black.*

[Sir Sivelos]

He ripped my throat out once.

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Teal:...I assure you he could have done worse. But what I meant was-

Tazz: He got us working to killing off some OTHER idiots trying to put an FF-button on the end of the world as we know it, in short. Silvy, this guy is an a**hole, but I'll talk about it in private. Best not stir tensions now...

Teal: Hrm. Tell me, you understand what that means in the grand scheme of things, correct?

The Black: Can it, you...Still hate the way you sound after all this time.

Teal: Amends cannot be made for such severe crimes as I have done-especially in your eyes. I'll determine my own perspective on events, but as of right now, I have a life-debt to this company that stands before me, so consider me part of this motley crew-and as a result...Your ally.

*The black goes silent for a while*

The Black: You keep an eye on him. He's not to be trifled with in any sense-but as long as he's helping, I have no objections to this plan.

Teal: I'm just glad you didn't decide to immediately kill me.

The Black: Assets are meant to be used...Then burned. I have no objections to keeping him around for the long term as long as he stays FAR away from me. Can't stand looking at him.

*The Black Vanishes*

Teal:...OK, anything ELSE I should know before we return to the surface?

[Sir Sivelos]

I once met the Lord of All Demons from my Superdimension / Omniverse (what I call it) and survived. Because he was impressed by me making it to him. That's how I got the Sovereign's Sword / Shield TECHs.

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Tazz: Need, Silveos, NEED! Did he NEED to know that?!

Teal: Daemon, you mean. From what little I know of the subject, there's a difference between Daemon and Demon, the difference being the latter do not commonly...Exist...In any feisable Superdimension, period. Their journies there are beyond rare and their business conducted through the highest of the hierarchy of daemonic society. If you saw an honest-to-goodness demon, even among the lowliest, you'd be dead by now. They are NOT merciful folk. They outdo the Highest Daemons in existence by quite a mile, last I checked...Of course, the Daemons would like to say they're honest-to-goodness Demons no matter what. Helps with image.

Tazz:...I did NOT know that. But seriously...Urm. How do I put this? We ran headfirst into an armada with no warning whatsoever, opened fire because they refused an explamation, unintentionally allowed a giant, nigh-invulnerable space wrom free reign-oh, and on death, said worm splits into two unless killed in a very specific way. We kind of did quite a bit to it but it blew us to bits, essentially. We're crashed on this planet and the forces in charge of that armada are now basically making us do Dungeon Runs so they get L00T. Lazy.

Teal:...I suppose you need an easy way out of this? There really isn't...I'm honestly surprised you even know of what a Darksign undead was off the top of your head...Hrm...Let's see the situation outside. To a limited extent...I can't wait for fresh air.

[Sir Sivelos]

I do mean Demon, by the way. He's simply called the Sovereign, and if need be, he could theoretically be more powerful than anyone in existence. See, when I created him, I meant for him to be the strongest being in the Demon World, and unfortunately, his territory grew in the time I was here. So if anyone who's stronger than he is exists in my Superdimension / whatever, he'll go into his Dormant Form and come out stronger than they are. So yeah, for example, if L.E. went into his territory, he'd be even more unbeatable than he already is. I made the mistake of checking in on him earlier, and because of THIS... *holds up hand with Reality Gauntlet and Knowledge Ring* He's not only omnipotent, he's also omniscient. Just like his stupid Observers... *mumbles something*

BUT WHO CARES ABOUT THAT LET'S GET A MOVE ON

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

(Silveos, you just fessed up to basically giving a demon lord omnipotence and omniscience in front of everyone. That isn't something you do lightly. Teal is not amused...Teal IS an Elder Soul...And yes, there actually is a distinction between a demon and a daemon, but as the former is ridiculously unlikely to actually appear...Really, calling them the same thing is OK in-whatever-we're-calling-the-setting-now...I can't believe I'm typing this...)

*The author, again, makes his aft words known directly to Silveos. The Narrator thanks him for taking the words out of his mouth-gives him a small breather and sorts out the rest of the encounter.*

(I seriously cannot believe I'm typing this at all.)

Tazz:...WHY! WOULD! YOU! DO! THAT?!?! WHY WOULD YOU MAKE SOMETHING THAT CAN GET STRONGER THAN YOU?! THAT IS SUPERSCIENCE 1-0-FFFF***ING-1, DO NOT CREATE ANYTHING THAT COULD EVER SURPASS YOU COMPLETELY! And don't you DARE even THINK you can say it was accidental, YOU HAD A RING ON YOUR FINGER THAT GAVE YOU F***ING OMNISCIENCE, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN INFORMED BEFORE YOU EVEN BOTHERED! *proceeds to go on a rant with the ceiling, citing your mental incompetence repetitively in far more degrading terms, whist Teal stiffens up in tension, possibly getting angry...It seems he knows just as well as you do (in hindsight anyways), having an Omniscient ring on your person makes forgetting anything as important as that a non-possibility. You effectively just announced you gave rise to a figure that's universally loathed-a new Grand Demon Overlord.*

*You recall Arnold owning the group. Your Knowledge Ring, still unable to work fully in the conditions of this Blackout Zone, fails you utterly-and would fail utterly anyways, as Teal, being well beyond this version of Reality, is definitely not within Omniscience's purview, as you recall.*

Teal: Trust me, you don't know what you're talking about in that difference-really, calling them one and the same is the best...And...As it turns out, omnipotence can be countered with mere words in the right circumstances, as I've witnessed firsthand. But more to the point-you literally have no excuse for going down there with that gear on your person. Knowing how both operate, doubt is beyond question you did so intentionally to empower the Soviergen...The ill-chance you didn't makes me wonder if that ring is making your mind deteriorate. I hope this Soviergen is relatively benevolent...A view I have justified reasons for not holding...

Tazz: *Finally using coherent word structure that wouldn't get him horribly banned from PxR*...I assure you, there is a REASON why I'm in charge, and seniority is merely a convenient addition to the resume as far as that role is concerned...Silveos, why...Just, just WHY?!

[Sir Sivelos]

TAZZ CALM DOWN. I didn't make him to be cocky. He may have a big temper, but he does know not to **** with things he shouldn't. And besides, he rarely leaves his kingdom, he normally sends out Observers. We shouldn't have to fight him. At all. *gives the Narrator a "DO YOU CATCH MY DRIFT" look*

And besides. Ultimate Weapon, remember? I may make big opponents, but I don't make them totally invincible. They're always ONE weakness. Like you said... "Invincibility just means harder to beat." ...Or something like that, I'm paraphrasing here...

[Sonic20]
