<Afterlife> Options

[Oliverskx]

The train going through the tunnel moved faster than normal. All passengers had no idea of what had just taken place. Yet Gabriel watched them all from the front of the car. This car out of all others was to be picked for the Afterlife games. The reaper didn't know whether to be sorry for this group or to be excited about being able to run the games for once.

The train now moved through a dark tunnel. This meant Citadel City was near and that now would be his time to start the briefings. His materialization out of nowhere didn't seem to have an effect on the busy passengers at all. He took the appearance of a young boy in a black cloak with white hair and red eyes; the same albino appearance he had when he was alive. *ahem* The gray reaper cleared his throat.

"Good evening passengers." he spoke calmly. "I am Gabriel and I am here to welcome you all to Citadel City before we reach our stop."

"What on earth are you rambling on about?" yawned a young woman sitting in seat 8. "Is this the wrong train?"

"Like I don't even, like, know what this kid is talking about either." another young woman from seat seven spoke.

"That voice sounds familiar..." went the blind male from seat 10.

"You are all a part of the Afterlife games." said Gabriel.

You're forgetting something sir! Show them what's happened sir! came a bubbly voice from his thin black earpiece. Gabriel could always count on advice from his assistant. "It's much easier if I just show you all." Gabriel spoke switching on a monitor conveniently stationed on a wall of the train.

The monitor flashed to news footage. A few heads turned to watch. The broadcast was loud.

This is Tiffany Williams with a mind numbing news bulletin. Right now I'm standing in front of the station outside the city where the train crash that occurred earlier this day is still recovering victims of the tragedy. So far there has been no survivors from what I can tell. More victims recovered from this terrible incident have been discovered to be the bodies of Elanora Jameson, Fae Cantigre, Clarissa Montague, Matthew Jameson, Sachiko Hayashi, Marcus Giles, Thomas Marx, Joe Brody, Ms. Mavin Davis, Stella Marx, twins Allen and Thomas Rhodes, the beloved Fabian Gestalt, Tia Wang, Romeo Willis, Jackie Hayes, Damien Peers and a Ms. Rita Thompson.

Yet insiders say there are still a lot more to be recovered.

"Yo what the hell is this shit?" A scruffy young man in seat 11 shouted. "Is this some sort of joke?"

The monitor footage cut to weeping family members and friends. "So are we like, dead or something, like that?" the female in seat seven asked once more.

"Please stay calm everyone." Gabriel advised. "No one is dead yet. Your chance to gain your normal lives back lies here in Citadel City."

The train emerged from it's dark tunnel and onto tracks leading to an island of sorts. A large city could be seen with a tower in the center that sits high in the sky. The ominous environment seemed to be tinted with the color red. For those who knew no better, this city looked like a picture of an apocalyptic worn place.

"Now are there any questions before I head on to the next subject?" Gabriel asked politely.

"당신이 무슨 말을하는거야?" spoke a little Korean girl as the train got closer and closer the the wretched island.

(OOC: I apologize being this late with my reply. Should have ample time for posting from here on out. )

Fae Cantigre

"Oh Dear! We can't just stand around talking. We must hurry! Joe says it's starting." said Fae putting away her phone.

"Right. We'll follow." said Romeo. "Don't start any funny business you."

"Leave her alone! I'll show you it's this way-" Fae began to head into the direction of the island of God's tower before she heard a loud cracking sound. She looked up to see pieces of the tower raining down, with dust rising into the red sky. "There!"

Fae nibbled on what was left of the food Sachiko gave her on the way. She could feel her strength returning. She was too excited to stop. She led them all the way to the bridge passing right over the small island where God's Tower stood. Her dress was caked with dirt and sweat and smudges, but she didn't notice or care as she usually would have. "The angel we have to kill should be somewhere around here- Watch out!"

The metal blades of her arms burst through the shreds of her sleeves once more as she shielded herself from an oncoming flame. A girl with dark hair walked slowly towards them shooting flames from the outside of her palms. Romeo seemed to have shot up towards the sky. "Who on earth?"

*Sigh* Are you serious Miss Fae. The Datalog clearly has this girl's Bio-

"Hush Rubbard! It doesn't matter. She could be a helper. Hey, could you please come and help us with a task?"

The girl said nothing and her eyes were trained on Sachiko. Fae could hear a faint voice coming from the attacking girl's phone. If she were mistaken it said "Miss Stella would like to eliminate you all from the competition now."

Fae reached out with a metal arm saying "Please stop it doesn't need to be violent." She did not see the rather large statue like figure falling from the sky. It took about five seconds for Fae to look up from shielding herself before she could see the giant figure land directly on top of the attacking girl whose flames went out on impact. It's feet snapped the girl's neck first, before crushing her skull into her rib cage and finally flattening her flesh and bone with it's feet.

The Angel was massive in size. A giant golum that stood at least fifty feet tall in stature with feet as big as cars. Fae fell backwards upon taking in it's awesome size. "Yo, off the bridge!" she heard Romeo shout.

<BATTLETHEME(Feel free to link your own battle themes ^^)>

She didn't hear the snapping of the bridge cables but as soon as she realized it, it was too late; the bridge crumbled in half before the giant's weight and she was hurling onto the small island directly below. She fell on her metal limbs before rolling close to the tower entrance. The giant angel had fallen onto the island as well. Here was where she had to make her stand. Where she and Sachiko would have to make a stand or die trying. "Oh my miss Sachiko. What exactly do you suppose we do?" she said getting up with aching bones.


Nanicci

EMERGENCY EMERGENCY

The red lights blinked on and off all around her station. The various screens surrounding her with views all on Citadel city were going black. "You're going to need to hit much harder than that to decapitate the Leviathan. Try a few more wacks! It looks like Belphagore is surprised from the attack though. Get him while he's stunned! He should be easy to decapitate. And HURRY Sirs!!" she spoke into her mic before it completely shorted out.

"No! Sir Gabriel! Respond please! There's an emergency in the tower! I need your help."

She could already tell it was no use. Screen after screen shut off in the small square room of monitors. Red lights from above flashed on and off. For once this required action. She stumbled out of her booster seat and ran for her scythe. Something had been trying to enter her quarters for a long while. She knew it was trouble. Since she had been assigned her position nobody was allowed to visit her, she was not allowed to leave her room. She was only to monitor the games. Hard heavy thunks rang from her walls.

Nanicci cursed herself. She was no more than 3 when she died and thus has the body of a three year old girl. She wished she could of at least been seven or eight when she had died. A physical fight would be no use. However she did happen to be the oldest reaper in the games at 67 years. Maybe she could use wisdom as a weapon. The floor was littered with books on hell. She had read through them all five times in the past hour. She already knew who would be coming for her. Finally the wall gave in and through a gaping hole stepped Amos. "Sir! Return to your duties! Mister Gabriel will get you if you don't return immediately."

"So this is the darling little Nanicci. With the little blonde pigtails and all. My you're a little baby." he flipped his hair and summoned his scythe. "If you were more attentive towards the screen you'd have known that Mister Gabriel won't be coming back any time soon."

"Dammit. The sirs are all on their own." She stood eyeing the daring reaper. There was no way Gabriel could be dead. If so then that meant he was coming to kill her as well.

"I'd be more concerned about myself if I were you." Amos said with a nasty smile. The red lights gave him a hellish hue.

Nanicci braced herself with her scythe. "Try me, sir."



Damien Peers

He rose fast through the winds. He wasn't sure if his powers were even enough. Hell, he'd be lucky if it actually worked, but it was all he had. Either kill the rest of the players and return to the human world or to end these dreaded games once and for all. There was certainly no turning back now. He gathered all the strength he could muster into one hand and threw it forward once he had reached the tower's top. The was burst open and he leapt from his own enchanted gravel stone which fell ass soon as he landed on the rubble strewn floor of God's Tower.

The air was filled with dust and smoke. If only Joe and Luci were behind him he would have felt much more secure. He walked forward cautious for God's protector, hoping that Gabriel would not have betrayed him. He heard a noise ahead and finally braced himself. The scene before him was a confusing one. The room was tall and wide, with a ceiling that looked endless. A grand silver throne stood directly in the center of the room stained in blood. The body of a humanoid shape had lain face down beneath it and sitting on it now was a female with a wide smirk admiring a glistening silver orb in her right hand.

Damien braced himself. and he could hear Luci's yelp of panic as she landed onto the tower. "What it this?" Damien asked.

He heart sank. A setup? He couldn't make anything of it. "This is what you're after right?" the female upon the throne spoke.

Her tone was cold as ice. Her eyes were white, and her figure was as bony as a skeleton. Her hair was pink, long, tidy. She wore a black cloak and a black blade at her hip. "The man you've killed is there correct?" she asked, turning the silvery orb in her hand. "You were the one's to lay a hand on The Almighty? Butchering him to death while his back was turned?"

"Who's that?" Luci asked. "Did you really kill him that fast?"

"No." said Damien. He was confused. This wasn't what he expected, however the woman stood up, here eyes lazy and focused on the them. "Someone's died but I don't know who this lady is."

"I was The Almighty's protector." She took her blade in hand. It was as thick as his head and longer than his whole body, yet she managed to hold it in one bony hand with ease.

<BATTLETHEME>

"I am the guardian known as Michael." the pink haired woman said as he cold white eyes examined them. She held up the silvery orb. It's vibe was violent and powerful. "But by right of succession I inherit God's Will. In short I am the new Almighty."

"Are you two ready?" Damien asked.

Luci's hell hounds were summoned up from the ground in an instant. "L-Like, R-Ready." her voice trembled in fear.

The woman holding the orb squeezed it until the glowing orb shrank into nothingness. "The almighty's power, it's inside me now." she looked down at the corpse below the throne. "I now see why you're always so burdened. Allow me to finish the Afterlife games with justice by eliminating these fools."

She stepped forward menacingly. "Fools, come let your new god give you a swift death."
