Too much time had passed. The crystal she had been holding warped Medea's shape entirely, so she was more distortion than priestess, a sigil of red, dark and destructive. Everything crumbled around her, from the tips of her fingers to her shoulders there were no arms but charred black splinters from carrying too much power, even for something made of Fear.
She was getting stronger.
Dark red energy crackled around her, and she raised a hand, as a straight vertical line of sheer power tore right through the floor, nearly cleaving the tower in half. They half they resided especially, began to tip towards the side, slowly at first. She wrenched both her hands together and there was red fire; in a swift movement torrents of flames rained down anyone who dared to cross paths with her. Nearly inane with power, all but a vengeful spirit, she turned around to look for Caelius -
- he was gone.
He was gone, and in his place, he left a void of power. Medea was uncontested. She was still hungry, and moved to those closest to her, Jason and Lex. All it required was a single touch from her warped power. The black from the tip of her fingertips spread into them-
- And a deep black shadow swept up from the ground and swallowed the two entirely, covering them in nothingness, warping and distorting their figure -
- Until what remained were not Hunters, were not even Human, but a strange, twisted Horsemen version of what they were. Their minds too had been corrupted, there was no denying their loyalty towards Medea, above all else. An instinct overrode all reasonable thought: fight those who fought Medea. Protect her. Humans were meant to be subdued.
ALL PLAYERS ALL PLAYERS:- Medea has created an extra barrier around herself for + 50 HP. Her presence is too overpowering as long as the barrier is on and overrides all other IC and battle effects ie: the loyal to self, the 7 kings etc etc, making all characters briefly remember who they really are, and conscious of what they just did. When the 50 HP barrier shatters, they return to their "status effect" forms. Please from this point onwards start counting from the 50 HP BARRIER. That must be taken down FIRST. Once that is shattered, go back to the boss HP. - Fear/charged attacks CANNOT be used on the barrier. - If you are JUST ENTERING this rp you may still do so from this point, just start from here! ALL HORSEMEN ALL HORSEMEN- Those loyal to Medea begin to become more frenzied in their movements, empowered as Medea's Fear resonates with theirs. Their form begans to warp, lose solidarity and seep into dark black shadows crackling with red destructive power. They heal themselves for the HP they hit players with. They can also choose to sacrifice their HP to Medea, buffering her HP (just add whatever you sacrifice onto her HP/ the HP of the shield). - Those unloyal to Medea feel their energy and resolve weakening. It seems hopeless, and they are tired. Perhaps Charon's prophecy will really come to light for them. They now half HALVED HP.
ALL HUNTERS Medea is overpowering you and takes HALF YOUR TOTAL HP. Her presence alone drives the strongest Hunters to their knees, to continue forward, you must create a BARRIER against You may at this time choose to use the items given to you from the beginning of the mission (YOU GET ALL THREE): - Barrier daggers: x2. Roll 2d10 as you activate both of them, simply by planting it into the ground. This is the damage you are protected from. Ie, if half your TOTAL HP is 20, and you roll 4, 5, you are protected for 9 damage against the ABOVE attack that took half your total HP. - Bandages x2. You can heal yourself and someone else. For trainees roll 2d6 and add that to your HP. For intermediates 2d8, for full hunters 2d10 - Emergency charge: You can recharge one of your charged attacks for free (ie use one free one) at any point in time as long as the rules say charged/Fear attacks are allowed on that boss. Fear/charged attacks are free game against other characters. carhop cavalier Lex has been converted (temporarily) into a horsemen loyal to Medea - feel free to pick a clan/appearance/ etc etc. He now has the appearance of such and will blindly fight for her. His personality has been distorted, warped, to fit that of a horsemen. Until he is defeated (at 0 HP), he will not regain his old appearance/personality. When he is defeated, he will be severely injured, and remember everything that he did/ and what happened to him. He has the same stats as he currently does/ with the same HP carried over. The exception is that he can target up to 3 players at once/but cannot use Charged attacks any more poke mattix Jason has been converted (temporarily) into a horsemen loyal to Medea - feel free to pick a clan/appearance/ etc etc. He now has the appearance of such and will blindly fight for her.

There was a commotion nearby, consisting of a lot of unfamiliar faces. Someone who appeared to belong to Destruction was in the middle of the fray, occasionally speaking to those around them. King Thackery found this very boring, so he opted against paying any amount of attention to the strange lady in favor of looking for anyone who might belong to his kingdom. He didn't find any of them, but there were others that he recognized regardless. They would surely know where to find everyone! "Hello!" he greeted the Queen of Revenge, bending to smush his cheek against her shoulder in a vague attempt at a hug. When he lifted his head again, he discovered that the Gold King was trying to take some sort of nap out in the open, possibly - and more importantly, there were others here with them! "Oh! Did I miss an invitation?" With a little frown, he tilted his head, gaze flickering towards the group of Protection. "Aw, I wish that I got mail like everyone else did. Do you know how long it takes a letter to die? The answer is a really long time, but Aymet and I figured out that you can kind of speed it up by tying the letter to a bird....and then you send the bird out - to die, of course - and then I get it! Hooray! So maybe do that next time, please! I know that all of you must be just really good at writing letters. I mean, why else would you be royalty?" There were plenty of reasons that most assuredly had nothing to do with letter-writing abilities. "Anyway, I was--" The weird Destruction lady got a little too close to the Blue Queen, and didn't appear to have any intention of politely joining their conversation. In fact, it looked an awful lot like she was going to attack him. Unbelievable. He moved to stand between the two of them, hands on his hips. "Excuse you! I am sure that you are very skilled on the battlefield, but this is a conversation, I think. So please try to avoid doing the...stop doing what you're doing." Confident in his defense skills, he glanced over his shoulder and winked at the Queen to indicate just how well he'd handled this.

[ Bradley & Yzalin ]
Yzalin watched quietly at the chaos around them. Someone was summoned into the battle, two others seemed to be talking stories about humans and halloweeners. Someone was riding a dragon. Two people even. Medea looked on her last legs.
There wasn't much she could do to help except stay where she was. She curled into a ball and watched quietly.
... You alright? he asked quietly, barely above a whisper. She sighed softly and looked down at the mirror. He gave her a smile, a kind smile. It was weird to see it through her own eyes, and not his in a reflection.
You should have stayed loyal to Deus. I'm not as powerful in this form. She spoke softly, stroking the mirror with her thumbs. He chuckled.
That wasn't what he asked, he told her. He asked if she was alright. If she was still alive, well. She was. For now. She wa----
Suddenly Bradley was on the ground in his own skin. He was no shadow, he was in no mirror. He was alive he was well he was---
The crackling hit him like a truck and Bradley crumpled to the ground, barely conscious.

Rin shook her head, she felt confused and disoriented for a moment. What the hell was she... oh right. She offered Rep a distant look and immediately went to work patching him back together now that she could remember who she was and that yes he was hurt. But with memories came the crushing sensation of a certain someone who had apparently gone ignored way too long. It was then she noticed Melvin laid out on the ground. "Melvin?" She knelt down at his side and tapped at his cheek, " Melvin?!"

He gave Harrison an even sort of look, Mengyao drawing back his sword and letting it rest by his side.
"I am fighting for my kingdom," he said, "Not to save the lives of those who would rather see us die at their feet than pledge their loyalties. Why care so much for those who are not within your realm?"
He gave a soft snort. "I have no quarrel with you, Blue King. I do not believe - "
Whatever he'd been going to say died in his throat, Mengyao staggering forward abruptly, his eyes widening. Pain ricocheted up and down his spine, starting from somewhere in the middle of his back and spreading upwards, spreading outwards.
He twisted around, and before him stood the Black Queen - or at least, who he thought was the Black Queen, her form twisting and undulating, its claws bloodied. Mengyao shifted, gripping his sword tightly.
"Black Queen, I do not have a quarrel with you ei - "
But the expression on his face shifted, disappeared; for a moment it was annoyance and then it was something else entirely, something less controlled, something more feral. Curling black shadows had begun to wind their way outwards from his form, red seeping from them, sparking, twisting.
He wavered between Emperor, King, Pride and Mengyao Miao, Elder of Conquest, but there was no choice in the matter as it was, since another swing of Blue's pet came crashing down on him.
Mengyao sank to the ground.OOC Name of character: Mengyao MiaoFaction: Elder Horseman of Conquest HP: 0 / 50 Abilities: Insanity (-5) + 7 Kings (+1 attack from summoning) DAMAGE DONE TO: Amrita DAMAGE DONE: 0 BOSS HP REMAINING: N/A

The power from Medea was overwhelming, and in that moment, he felt something shift in him. Again, he was Melvin, not Mel from the Blue Kingdom.
He stood with his fellow hunters, and looked over to Rin beside him, and Rep between. Looking up, he dropped down to his knees as he guarded his face from the flames, and gripped the smooth ground as best he could as it tilted at the shattering cleave. They were all going to topple over!!
In a blast of fire and flames, he was thrown back, and in a moment, he was overtaken. His fear shield split and shattered in glass fragments and he skidded down upon the ground, barely alive.
His glasses broken, and through the cracked frames, he looked at his friends and the shadow image of Medea behind them, looming.
As Rin came over, he couldn't so much as move but let his eyes slide slowly to her. Something felt wet, and he noticed blood pooling around his head from where his skull hit the ground when he fell back.
He managed a throatal whine to show that yes, he was alive. Alive but barely conscious and he felt like he could just sleep here on the cold stone. The sky was nice if you looked past the chaos.
So much for being a protector.OOC Name of character: Melvin Wood Faction: Deus Ex - Life HP: -5 BS HP REMAINING: ??CHAR DESCRIPT: Melvin is a tall, lanky blonde with a big mouth and a judgmental habit of critiquing others. His habit of asking too many questions and having handiwipes on hand is rather well known among other Hunters, which doesn't make him a popular fellow. Despite this, he tries to be the best Lifer in both healing and protecting others in his group. Quote: Loyal to Deus Ex: Your weapon now has gold metallic trim around it, replacing parts of it, giving a more ornate design. - Every time you MISS add +1 to your counter. When it hits +5, add that to your HP to heal yourself. It cannot be stacked with any other ability. Quote: BLUE KINGDOM SUMMON +1 atk

Otto took no chances. It was Medea. She was responsible for a lot of nightmares he'd had. A scar that never healed. The shard she held filled him with caution and an anxious nervousness.

Poof just like that Sammy was back. The memory of the blue kingdom Sammy just another memory granted with a new chapter added on. She looked around for a moment spotting Rep and Harrison still fighting, and students, Amrita, something that looked like Shun before reverting back?
Still Rep was the closest.
"HEY! Flower boy! Pick yourself up! Medea isn't dead yet and this is going to be one of those glorious moments where we both agree on wanting her dead."
She also jerked a finger towards Jordan, "That and I promised him I'd play nice with you and Harrison for him. So for the sake of those Blue's let's continue this job and get the Jack back to our freaking homes before she finds a way to blow them both to hell."
She paused for a moment looking at Melvin knocked down and sighs, "You guys seriously have seen such better days...." Cocking her fist back the blue and purple flames ignited brighter before smashing against the shield to land the first blow.

A loud, delighted laugh left the Shadow as the Gold King fell. The fact that it hadn't been by her claws didn't seem to matter, but she certainly seemed to enjoy the checkmate they had forced him into.
"And now, Gold King, I have none with you~" The Shadow turned to face the Blue Queen, dipping into what might have been a curtsey, had the shadow of vines not obscured her movements. "Blue Queen~" Its form twisted for a moment, obscuring as the cracks from the gaping hole in her chest expanded, a few pieces of herself falling into the mess of thorns. As she settled once more, she leaned to the side the slightest bit, looking as unstable as she had been moments before her sudden attack on the King.
Then, she straightened, turned, and left to put herself back into the fray - until she was stopped by a familiar, grinning face.
"Ah, my Wheel of Fortune!" The Shadow crooned in delight after a noticible moment of thought. "I would be delighted~" But she kept moving forward, her claws dripping with blood as she sought her next, unfortunate target -
- Suddenly, Amrita blinked, and looked around.
Wait...what?
Where...?
"UNHOLYJACK!" She cried in shock and horror at the shifting form of what might have been the Horseman Priestess at one point in time. Then, she did the only thing she could do: she tried to punch it.

From the sky, a bird was born with flashing eyes and the shriek of an angry, howling wind. She wanted to go home, and this creature was standing in her way.

It was immensely irritating to be here and not have the strength to fight back. He could feel the rippling shadows as they curled around him, and the desire to kill all those that had oppressed them grew stronger and stronger until he was nearly suffocated by it. Perhaps if he tried to fix this; if he was able to get some of that strength back, he'd be able to do something other than sit here trying to catch his breath.
The idea that he'd been nearly defeated was humiliating.
Mengyao drew his sword closer to him, gritting his teeth, and with great effort managed to pull himself to his feet; a gentle gust shivered up and down his arms, the tendrils of FEAR sliding through his veins. He swayed a little, but it had given him some of his strength back, and he pushed his shoulders back, straightened and took a breath, his glowing golden eyes moving around the battlefield.
Now that he was vertical again, he could get to work. OOC Name of character: Mengyao MiaoFaction: Elder Horseman of Conquest HP: 19 / 50 Abilities: DAMAGE DONE TO: Self DAMAGE DONE: Healing self for 19 BOSS HP REMAINING: N/A
