Ultimate Hero RPG: A New Age of Good and Evil

Trunks appeared in the distance as he ran towards Xol, in his bulky saiyan armor. He was in the best shape of his life now and he'd found power he didn't think possible with Charity's and Vegeta's help. Now he prepared for a true fight, a true war. Though he knew he wouldn't look good being late, as it seemed most had already left for battle, but he had little say in the matter with his father giving him some last minute tips.
He sped through the thick snow and instantly reached Xol.
"I'm ready, where is everyone else?"

Vegeta sat at his home pacing back and forth and he looked up seeking the elder once more.
"Elder. I call upon you...I can't stand this, just sitting and waiting, with my son out there. So I ask to be taken to your realm, where I may look down upon them and view their battle. Please, hear my plea."

Xol turns around as his eyes are normally wide, he could not show a suprised look very clearly. He turns to Preston and SPike, then to Vegeta.

Xol: Well Jacope III, Ricardo, Tristian, and Sebastian have already left as the others are still here taking out their blood as you can see. To explain this at such a moment, Me, Preston, and Spike here will all create seperate portals that we can all use and for just us alone. We need a blood sample from you and others so that the portal can recognize your DNA and let you transport.

Xol Hands Trunks an empty syringe.

Xol: Pump your blood out into the tube and give it back. Once you do that, you should just go along and follow footsteps of the snow. The weather might have calmed down but the blizzard will soon return. The Ice tower is a mile away from here and they haven't left not too long ago.....That is all can tell you....For now, we shall wait.

The Elder God did not answer. But a flash light appeared infront of Vegeta as it glows. The light then exploded and without making any sound affect and then an Orb appeared which was filled with smoke as it fades, soon brining up images of Trunks.

Elder God: This Orb is my eye. I will look upon these heroes and you may ask for any image you would like to see. As you can see, I have my eyes on Trunks.

The Elder God aims straight at Trunks who is listening to Xol as he gives him a syringe.

As Preston was handed Lucas and Eli's syringes, he asked them, "So this is it. After all this time, we're finally going to give it to those sons of b***hes. You guys ready?"

"I was born ready," Eli answered.

"As ready as I'll ever be," Lucas said. "But I have to ask. What's going to happen when all of this is over? Do we automatically get sent back to our respective dimensions? What's going to happen with all of the people with the virus? Do they return to normal? And the biggest question; What if we lose?"

"All I asked was are you two ready," Preston said looking at Lucas with exasperated eyes. After a brief pause all three of them started laughing.

"You know what," Eli spoke, "I'm going to miss you guys. I mean, after this is all over, I'm going off to the Great Beyond to become space and time itself, Preston's going back to his own dimension to become an Elder and super Charmed One and Lucas is going back to his own dimension to become some kind of deity, even though you two didn't know any of that."

Both Preston and Lucas's mouths were wide open. "Are you joking," Lucas asked.

"Of course he's joking. I don't even like the Elders," Preston said.

"According to the future, I'm telling the truth," Eli said. "Lucas, you'll become so powerful that you'll become the one who guides your teammates and then you'll wind up giving them your power which will cause you to ascend to the position of nature itself. Preston, you'll do something in the future that will save all of the Whitelighters and Elders. Apparently it'll impress the latter so much that they'll offer you the position with the incentive of being able to stay with your family and sisters."

Once again, Preston and Lucas were speechless. After they regained their composure, Preston said, "I think that you should make us forget what you just told us after this fight is over."

"What? Why," Eli asked.

"Because with that kind of knowledge, we could change something that would lead up to those events," Lucas answered him.

"How do you know that," Eli questioned.

"Because we both work with people who can foretell the future. How do you think we know how, when and where an enemy is going to strike," Preston said. "Plus, that's how we know how to stay alive."

"Well if you guys are sure, I'll do it," Eli said.

After that they just stood there. They didn't know if they would see each other alive again. They didn't know if they'd survive themselves but they would happily lay down their lives if it meant saving the world. That might have been a cliche but it was the truth.

"Well. I guess this is it," Lucas said. "See you guys." He flew towards the tower for the most terrifying fight of his life.

Now that it was just Preston and Eli, they walked back towards Spike and Xol, hoping that that wasn't the last time they saw Lucas.

Trunks nodded at Xol. He pressed the syringe into his skin, and the blood slowly flowed out and into the needle. He pulled it out and looked around for a second, he didn't notice most of these heroes aside from Eli, who he recognized only from his fathers description, and he recognized Jacope III's name. Trunks turned back towards Xol handing him the needle and nodding at him. He pushed off the ground and began flying towards the tower.

Vegeta nodded at the elder god. And he stared into the orb watching as his son readied himself for the battle to come, he in some sense reminded him of himself. He sat himself down in a chair by the orb and continued to stare into the orb.

The Lich King sat on his throne, his eyes closed and his mind focused. If Anub'Arak or Kel'Thuzad looked closely, they could idenfity a grin on his face. For months, it had appeared like he was waiting. Like he was expecting something. Like as if he knew what was to come. He had been sitting like that for the past days now, smiling to himself, not saying a word. Kel'Thuzad was growing impatient and Anub'Arak loyaly stood by the entrance and looked at his master. Lich King held the blade in his hand, and his other hand on his throne, sitting straight with eyes closed.

Suddenly, his eyes opened wide and bright blue, having Kel'Thuzad cover his eyes from the light. The room lit up and the air started vibrating.

A powerful voice, telepathicly spread across the entire north pole and all those that was located on it.
"YOU HEROES! Death is close, but YOU are already dead. Your courage will fail, your friends will abandon you, you will betray your friends, you are WEAK, you will die.

YOU HEROES! Madness has brought you here to me. I shall be your undoing! You come with confidence and with fear shall you flee. But in vein, as all realities, all dimensions are open to me! Not even death will do us apart. You are but a plaything, unfit even to amuse. Your greed, your foolishness has brought you to this end! You should have accepted fate. You should have accepted me. Surely you do not think you can win?

YOU HEROES! No matter how learned and knowledgeable, how wise and how wonderful, how powerful and puissant, there is always one more sliver of power, one more bit of knowledge, one more secret to be learned for you. I, me, I am complete. So, come you!

YOU HEROES! With your mighty weapons, brute muscles and immense powers. COME! You warriors of the frozen world, leftovers of an undead rule. The faith of this world lays in your hands. The faith of all worlds. As they fall, it will shake the foundation of balance. From the ashes, a new era will arise, an era where undead reign and [I] rule them all.

YOU HEROES! You come here, with hope to make a difference. You hope that my death will purify. You hope that you can bring me down. I will grab your hope, I will squeeze your hope, I will crush it, I will even use it against you.

YOU HEROES! My might can not be match, not by one, not by many. I am always on the winning side and I am always on my own side, even when I do not win, I am a winner. Confusing? I am sure of it. I dare you to test my theory! So, come you, do your best! MY GATES AWAIT YOU! Just like I have waited"

-------------------------------

Medivh descended from the skies by the north-pole in the form of a hawk. He heard every word and with a sigh did he keep his eyes closed. He was located high above the heroes, watching their wandering, observing their every move. He was going to aid them, but only when the time was right. He could not afford misstakes. Not now.

tirstan used his own TK to fly towards the tower, fully aware that this one battle might be his last..it didnt worry him too greatly...he didnt have a lot to lose....so maybe that was why john had chosen him..or maybe he saw something in the boy that tristan himself couldnt...he made a mental not to ask the reaper once this was all over..
john appeared beside medivh...he had sworn not to directly intefere with the battle...not without the elder god's say-so...but nothing prevented him from watching and giving advice should it be required.."you think they're ready?" he asked medivh..

Medivh turned his hawk head towards John and then looked down at the hero force. He remained silent for a while before turning to John.

"I do not think that they realise what they are up against. Are they ready? I would not say that, but I would say that it is now or never. There is no turning back, so hopefully they know a thing or two about team-work. I will assist them in the ways I can when the time is right, but for now, it is better if I stay clear from the field of battle and focus on keeping the Lich King out of my head"

Jacope III kept his head up despite the intimidating words of the Lich king. He did not want to show the fear that will put the entire group down to the point where it brings the others down, especially since Jacope III is leader. He wants to prove that just because he is not Jacope X nor Jacope II, he can still lead a group of extrordinary and gifted heroes to victory. ` He looks ahead to see Ricardo and Tristian both using TK to get to the tower first so that they take down the army waves down. Sebastian had his head down with worriness showing on his forehead. He feared that this would be his last battle and if he will never suceed in getting revenge on sefirah. Ricardo never so nervous in his life.'. '. Monica walked by Lucas with xol in her mind. Lucas kept examining charity due to suspicion. The rest of the heroes were all headed to the tower where the Lich king awaits them. Finally.......they stood infront of the towerJacope III turns to see Trunks, the son of Vegeta. He looked at him with a very stressed look as Ricardo makes a discovery as he approached the beheamouth tower. It's walls were protected with chi energy.. . God Orochi was located within the 13th floor along with Blackflame. Orochi had his hand upon the surface of the wall, causing the entire support of the tower aslong as the chi kept the tower indestructible flowing.

Spike replied to the Lich King's telepathic voice, "Confident, are we? You're such a fool, Ner'Zhul. If you actually think this is going to intimidate us, you've got the wrong idea. I can sense everyone's reaction to your words, and they couldn't care less what you have to say. I am just a dog, but even I am capable of defeating many. Prepare yourself, Lich King, your death is coming."

Spike walked up to the tower. He wasn't nervous at all; he believed in himself and the other heroes. He looked back at the others to check if they were ready to face off against Ner'Zhul, and whatever else he may throw at them.

(May have misunderstood the Chi wall. Thought it stopped us from going through, if it's not the case ignore Trunks' portion)
Trunks looked ahead and saw Jacope III staring at him, he just stared right back at Jacope, making sure not to show any signs of weakness. His father had warned him of Jacope's rage and Vegeta didn't want that to reign down upon Trunks, not with the little experience he had. Vegeta still highly outclassed him.
Trunks put his hand against the wall of energy, and there was a small surge the made him jump back. He looked over his shoulder staring at the rest.
"Is there any other way in?"

Vegeta stared through the orb, while they were burdened with this wall he looked around, having sensed two other powers in the area, though both were kept low. The orb located the spot he felt it in, there was a hawk and John. Floating above the heroes. Vegeta wasn't quite sure what they were doing there, and he had know idea who in the hell this hawk was but with John on the scene it did give him some relief.

Hydroth looked through the window which had only given him the view of a blizzard for the past months. He was happy to see something else through it. The heroes. And among their ranks were some that he'd confronted before including the girl, Monica. Though his true target Xol, was absent. He could feel that he would come though, he wouldn't leave Monica to fight alone, and when they came they'd be in for a little surprise.

"My death has already been, whelp. I died many years ago, but my spirit lives on even today. We both know that you are no ordinary dog, but not even you can hide the truth. I can sense the insecurity, maybe not yours, but the insecurity of many. I can sense their fear, their insecurity, their doubt.

Now, do enter and seal your fate, HEROES!"

Ner'Zhuls voice was going trough the mind of all on North Pole. He then grasped his hand and in front of Trunks did a gate form and it opened wide. Ner'Zhul then looked at Kel'Thuzad and sent him a thought that it was time.

Kel'Thuzad prepared himself and Ner'Zhul waved him of with a flick of a finger. Englufed in a black portal, Kel'Thuzad was then sent to the first level of the citadel, the bottom floor and the place where the entrance was. He looked of into the distance, trough the massive, frozen, yet solid rock hallway with torches along the walls and about a few hundred meters to the roof, and at least double the length between the walls. The length of the hallway was possibly two kilometers and suprisingly warm for being inside a frozen citadel.

Kel'Thuzad's voice then echoed trough the hallways, out of the citadel and to where the heroes were located.

"You heroes have no idea what horrors lie ahead. You have seen nothing! The frozen heart of the north pole awaits you! The frozen heart of the Lich King! The might of the Lich King!"

Kel'Thuzad rose his hands into the air, and a dark portal opened at the far end of the hallway, in the far distance from the entrance where the heroes stood.

"The dark void awaits you! The moment you enter this citadel, which you will, this portal, linked to the second floor will release a large quantity of undead beasts. Enter when ready, heroes. Say goodbye to your loved ones, for you are entering an endless battle!

NER'ZHUL! LICH KING, MY MASTER! The spell is complete. I request your aid in my dismissal of this battlefield!"

"Very well, Kel'Thuzad"
In a dark flash, Kel'Thuzad disappeared with a maniacal laughter as the dark, twisting portal glew in the distant end of the large floor. The moment one of the heroes would step across the line of the entrance to the citadel, the portal would be triggered and a vast number of skeletal soldiers would charge trough the portal and towards those that triggered it.

Jacope III realized that the chi kept anyone from walking through the tower. It seems that Orochi knows the strategy. The blizzard returns with more cooler air pressure and heavier snowfall.Jacope decided that it would be better if they all kept quiet for now. Jacope, Sebastian, Ricardo, and Lucas open oversized, towering door all together. Monica and Charity both decide to enter as they examine the first floor. Well, this looks like a dump already. How can you live here. said charity. The rest enter the ice tower. Jacope kept his guard as the door slams shut. Aon is with us..... Sebastian whispered to himself as he draws his oblivion. Ricardo was ready once Tristian is.Jacope looks at the portal and to walk towards it. This is your chance to go home. If you are willing to fear death. I have somehing to accomplish myself.... Jacope said with a calm yet daek voice. He enters the portal and quickly charges at the skeletal army with ten fist combo. Sebastian, Hojo,Lucas, Ricardo, and Monica all ran through the portal as they their attack on the first wave of armies. The Blizzard reached its lowest point and toughest winds outside.

tristan landed right in front of the entrance..not daring to cross it until everyone else was present..he chanced one last glance back at everything he knew: the cold, frozen wasteland, his friends, and there, further up in the air, medivh in bird form, and john, to whom he owed everything..he waved to the reaper, before turning back towards the gate, both swords now drawn, thirsting for the undead flesh they were about to meet..
john shook his head.."they are way too young.." he thought out loud..or were they? wasnt he, john, only 23 when he started fighting? and werent most of his friends, like jacopeX and ice, still teenagers at that same point in time?
without regret or shame tristan charged with his fellow warriors, his swords flashing in the dim light...it was this point, he reliazed, that would shape the events to come...this was the turning point....for everthing!

Trunks looked ahead as Jacope and the others began to charge. He lowered his head for a moment letting out a sigh, he stood for a moment just standing there, and then he looked ahead focusing on the battle which he prepared to engage in. He grabbed the hilt of his blade and charged in, instantly cutting in half a skeleton and eradicating several behind it with a ki blast. He jumped into the air and flung his sword into one, landing on its back and ripping it out. He turned slamming his fist into anothers skull shattering it. As the body count began to grow he grinned. This was going better than he thought, his training had paid off. He figured if this was the best Ner'Zhul had to throw at him this battle would be over soon.

Vegeta couldn't help but grin as his son and the others began laying waste to Ner'Zhul's skeletal army, it reminded him of years back when he battled Satan's vast army. But while the army was simple enough he worried about Ner'Zhul's true warriors. Grunts were always simple but when you added people like Mordecai, and Trokar into the mix it would balance the scales.

Hydroth wore a grin as well, the heroes were easily taking care of the army which meant two things for him. One, they had skill push overs were something they weren't going to be. And two, if they kept up like this they'd make it past Anub and Kel. And he'd have his chance to destroy them.

Jacope III does a front flip over a skeleton and rammed his heel into the head of the other, causing it's entire body to dismantle and fall into a pile of bones. Jacope watches as four of them come running at him. He quickly springs at the ceiling, bounces off as he charged his kicks while doing that. All together he unleashes a devastating slash kick which turns the skeletons into dust as the flash was strong and hot enough to do such a thing. JAcope III kept spinning as he destroys every skeleton in his path.

Monica used the blizzard and ice from the outside to freeze the skeletons into an ice marble around her as she tries to keep them off of her. As the one who posseses the medical attention to heal, she did not want to get injured. However, by the looks of everything, none needed it for now. Hojo turns into his solid form as his fur turns into spikes. He turns into a ball and rams into the skeletons, and caught some bones with his mouth for later. Lucas simply finished the job by turning ICe into flames.

Sebastian finishes charging him sword with celestial energy and then went for his multiple spearing attacks as he tackles through every skeleton in his path with his swor out side ways. He kept doing this in a diagonal pattern. Sebastian then escapes this method as he springs into the air. He stretches his body out while holding his sword.

Sebastian: Flash! Celestial art!

Sebastian's celestial filled body caused dark blue beams to burst out of his hands and legs. These beams come from the rigel stars as they disinigrated many skeletons! Sebastian kept this up until he couldn't no more and eventually landed on his feet, gasping for air. He needed to stop getting himself tired before he gets carried away. For now, he was going to use physical force to save his celestial power.

Ricardo draws a summoning card which caused a handful of skeletons to sink into a pit of lava. However, within the pool of lava was Ricardo. She used the power of mimicry upon the skeletons as she burst into lava, causing many skeletons to disinegrate as well. So far, more than half of the skeletons were gone.

Cosmestica stood in her enforced form by the entrance, looking inside. She turned to the little squad she had trained trough the months and she nodded kindly towards them. Stitch ran at amazing speed, jumping into the air, curling into a little ball and rolled towards them. The mere impact shattered and sent a large number of skeleton soldiers flying, as he with a growl grabbed a skeleton and used it as a baseball bat, shattering even more hostile troops. Growling, he threw himself from skeleton to skeleton, ripping them into pieces with hands and mouth.

"MEEGA, NALA KWISHTA!"
He roared at the skeletons. Cosmestica almost flinched at his words.
"STITCH! Watch your tongue!"
She then turned towards the three others by her side. She nodded and Michi as well as Eve walked into the hallway and Michi turned towards Cosmestica, looking at her without saying a word.
"Remember what you have been taught"
Cosmestica then turned to Tank, as Michi and Eve both charged the battlefield, blasting the opposition with energy-bolts. The same type that Cosmestica once used. She looked down at Tank and stood silent for a while.

"Are you not going to fight?"
"Are you?"
"I am, soon enough"
"So am I. I just need to verify to myself why I am fighting"
Cosmestica nodded in silence as the two stood by the entrance, staring towards the battle.

"My master, they soon have passed the skeleton army. What is next?"
"As they enter the second floor, an army of ghouls will challenge them. I am putting my forces against them in ascending order of muscle. The skeletal soldiers are not even worthy as fodder, but we want them to be warmed up before they get to the heat of the fire"[/i]
"I see, my king. What do you want from me and Anub'Arak?"
"We are going to be ready on the 12th floor once they get there. He told you this as late as yesterday. Are you loosing it, Thuzad?"
"QUIET, YOU LOUSY BUG! I was just verifying it. Your attitude towards me really are starting to piss me of"
"My attitude? Being in the same room as you have pissed me of for years now!"
"No wonder, considering how you look"
"HOW I LOOK?! WHY YOU CONCEITED, WRETCHED, FILTHY UNDEA..."
"ENOUGH! You two are really getting on my nerves here, and I do not even have any! KEL'THUZAD! You go and prepare the second floor! ANUB'ARAK! You go down to the 12th floor! I will keep you two seperated as long as possible so you do not kill eachother before the heroes do"

With a flick of his hand, both Anub'Arak and Kel'Thuzad disappeared. While Anub'Arak appeared on the 12th floor, Kel'Thuzad appeared on the 2nd, where he prepared the second portal. Once the 2nd floor was entered, another army would be triggered, this one based on ghouls.

Spike hardly moved, he simply focused most of his telekinetic energy into one attack and ripped apart hundreds of skeletons at once. Spike opened his eyes and found that his only attack was the finishing move, as the large number of the highly experienced heroes used their own skills to quickly demolish an entire skeleton army in minutes. Spike tried to focus on the floor above them, but something was blocking his senses. Focusing harder, he managed to break through the defense, just enough to sense that they were going to face against spirit-like creatures. Just as he was able to break through the defense, Spike's sensery was forced back down to the boundaries of the first floor. "Heads up, everyone; we've got ghouls ahead!" Spike announced as he began heading toward the second floor.

john laughed out loud at the quarrel between kel thuzad and anub arak..
"this could work to their advantage....GUYS!" he changed his voice to telepathy so that all the heroes could hear him.."anub arak and kel thuzad have started fighting and argueing among themselves..use this to gain the upper hand on them.....also, then next floor you go to will have an army of ghouls....just FYI.."
tristan understood john's message, and as he cleved his way thorugh the skeletons and blasted others with powerfull magic, he felt a faint glimmer of hope..
looking around the adolescant realized that half of the skeletons were down...there werent many in the army overall, so this shouldnt be too draining...tristan gathered his immense necromatic powers and unleashed them on the corpses lying on the floor...after several seconds of waiting the new army jumped to their feet...distinguishable from the other undead by the red glow in the eyes and weapons, they attacked relentlessly...with things proceeding this quickly, it wont be too long until they reached the highest floors..
