The Last Poster Wins! [v8]

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*Dark Writ justice, as a Boss (because he IS a Boss, as has been previously stated), is immune to OHKO attacks, and henceforth takes it all too easily-with a chuckle, even! Bosses are immune to automatic oneshot attacks as an automatic rule! Of course, he takes the huge DoT instead but narrowly lives-leaving DC wide open for his own attack. Justice grunts rather angrily; he hates being consistently brought down this low.*

*Tazz uses LV. 9999 SUNTECH: SUPERNOVA SUPREME!*

*The sun itself rushes towards poor Dark Chaos, as he's sucked into the very core of the sun, taking hideously wrong, supereffective Light Damage DoT all the while, until he hits the core. The sun then returns to it's usual spot, then EXPLODES in a hyper-violent supernova, which does even MORE hideous Light Damage in a single shot, dispersing the Hurricane and sending the sucker down to earth with 1 hit point and unable to act! Dark Chaos has SALUBRITY FRANKINSENSE but NOT SPUNK MYRRH, the latter being needed to activate the former, so he'll die in ONE attack! he's also back on the ground in the AntIvOId base, LITERALLY outside of Silveos'es doorstep, and paralyzed. He's in an utterly wretched state and is unable to attack.*

Justice, teleporting below: Proof that tactics and sense outdo sheer power. You should have KNOWN better...

[Sir Sivelos]

Light Chaos: Cease this at once!

Dark Chaos: Y-you...

*LIGHT CHAOS, in his full power once more, leaps in front of D.C.*

Light Chaos: I apologize, but I cannot allow you to slay my counterpart. The consequences would be quite dire. As stated previously... the 'business' I had to attend was making sure this would not happen. It appears I arrived too late.

...What did I miss?

Dark Chaos: Ah, my grand old counterpart... I thank you wholeheartedly... And now, I flee... *though he is moving sluggishly, D.C. absconds at speeds to fast for you to react to.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*...Except DC winds up back where he was, as he cannot flee a Boss, the OTHER omnipresent rule of Bosses. Dark Writ Justice stands over Dark Chaos, with something awfully...Sinister in his hands. The Knowledge ring states it's a soul destroying weapon, that could severely weaken or even outright actually kill Dark Chaos off for real.*

...HRM, so I, as a Dark Writ, just utterly trounced one of you...Am I really going to just...LET another ally to the Dark Writs go that easy? They've already got Nidhogg, I'd dread it if they got more...It's our duty to not let the Dark Writs get stronger-Elder Souls or not, THIS is significant...Just letting you walk away without crippling you seems counterproductive. And as this encounter already proves, I fear NOTHING.

Storm: Sivelos...I advise you take this choice very carefully...Tazz has a legitimate point in what he's saying: letting him go is not in our best interests at all, and we'd probably have to deal with him much more in the future, and at full power too...But angering his counterpart, obviously, has equal risks, and of course we could theoretically gain more reward out of sparing it in the long run...The REALLY long run...

Teal, Telepathically: <I'd kill Dark Chaos if I could. I'm not one to let my foes run around with wild abandon, that's how you LOSE fights...Light Chaos may not honor his end of the bargain, if there's even a bargain in this at all. And gods shouldn't be in charge anyways just because they're powerful...>

Gear, over intercom: [No no no no no! Let him live! I've heard of this guy, Chaos: Those are two halves of the same coin. If one of their souls is intact, they can merge and restore himeslf, and if we've left a good impression, we gain that for ourselves! Just think about the potential of that!]

*Sivelos has a hard hard choice: He either takes Justices' and Teal's advice and lets Justice slay Dark Chaos-this will give you access to all of his L00T, and if not killing him, crippling him severely in the fights to come; but this will anger Light Chaos, and if he doesn't outright attack you NOW, joining up is out of the question (in any case, Chaos is taken out of the picture entirely as well, and the Dark Writs cannot access that form)...On the other hand, sparing Dark Chaos as LC and Gear suggest means you will get less L00T and fight DC at his full at every time you would, but LC will not be angered and it may pay off by giving you allegiance to LC-or perhaps even the BIG C. Choose wisely-this is PERMANENT and cannot be undone!*

*Will you Execute or Release Dark Chaos?*

[Sir Sivelos]

Release him! Now! DO ITTTTTT

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*Are you absolutely sure?*

*Releasing Dark Chaos means you will get less of his L00T and he'll fight you full-power every time you meet him! Light Chaos'es allegiance, though possible, is not guaranteed either and getting the original Chaos is a slim chance in any case!*

[Sir Sivelos]

If we get L.C's allegiance, and IF Chaos fully reforms, then there's a chance he'll be on our side! And if Chaos is on our side, then he'll be a major asset! **** the L00T! RELEASE HIM!

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

Justice:...You better know what you're talking about, there are no guarentees on this. *Justice releases DC in the general direction of LC.* Please keep-

*DC teleports away. The Boss battle being entierly over and all that.*

*Justice reverts to Tazz, who is STILL pissed about that*...I WAS GOIGN TO SAY, 'PLEASE KEEP HIM OUT OF TROUBLE!' but NOOOOOO, he IMMEDIATELY goes and teleports, AHHH-*Insert long rant of explicitives here*

*DC DID leave behind his sword and a lot of money. It's got the kind of stats you'd expect from a Max-attack guy like Dark Chaos, and comes with boosts to Darkness-based attacks!*

[Sir Sivelos]

*D.C.'s sword, The Acheron, bears a striking resemblance to the Archangel's Aegis. It is a large broadsword that is normally held with two hands, but in D.C.'s case, he can hold it no problem. It is pitch-black, with similar inscriptions on its blade, now glowing red. It seems the two inscriptions on the Chaos' weapons seem to complete a message. One fragment of the message remains.*

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

*The inscriptions-which Tazz writes down quickly-seem to be missing the middle fragment. It's impossible to decipher in this state.*

Gear:..."The Sword cuts the knots and loosens the binds, unveiling where...And the Shield unlocks the doors to the end of time itself..."

*...Or not. Apparently Gear is somewhat versed in the language.*

Oooooooh...We'd best keep an iron grip on these. These seem to be two of the three keys to opening the Voidial Drydocks, where the Black is...If the Dark Writs get their hand on these and a facsimile for the last one, they have a clean shot at the Black. From experience, the last artifact is a Bow, known as 'The Arms of Atlas,' though I think the Black didn't put all of his eggs in one basket...We've got to keep a lookout for it...

Tazz: Well...They have alternate ways in. Some idiot those guys got to do their dirty work before letting themselves known-a dude known as Revenankh-kind of managed it. Somehow...We broke the machine pretty hard, though.

Gear:.........Great, wonderful, just utterly fantastic...Hopefully they don't figure out how to f****** repair it!

[Sir Sivelos]

If they do, then that'd be bad. As far as I know, the Acheron, Archangel's Aegis, and some other weapon were part of a set unique to Chaos alone. If these 'Arms of Atlas' are part of this set, then that'd make sense, I suppose, if it had the final part of this message. Perhaps it has a solution to our grand problem. Like a map or something?
