Welcome to Gaia! ::

Judge Azelus waits, and when he is sure the moment between queen and subject is over, he goes in. "I will find your husband, and send him home. That is my promise to you. I do not want such a couple to be away from each other." Azelus sighs and then looks into her eyes. "And accept my apology for not having kept him back in Atlantis. I should have stopped him. I do not know what he is doing, but it is not as important as both the kingdoms he has. This one and Atlantis." Judgemaster is heard, talking to people with Judge Sombreton. "I should really be out there, I have no clue what my duties are, but I have a feeling I should help out and spread the word..." He bows his head and waits to be dismissed.

Judge Azelus waits with Logan, and then thats when it happens. Screaming, and black suits appear everywhere. Judgemaster Gaband appears next to him, holding out armor. Logan had armor already, Randell never got himself some. He takes it, and puts it on, and waits with his saber out. They hurry towards a group of them and fight vehemently. Surprisingly, his saber got through their armor well. Gaband crushes through them like butter, their swords and partially working guns not able to harm him. He was damn strong too. Azelus tests his skills, and after some reinforcements, the people are able to back them off. He eviscerates another black suit, and waits for Gaband. "Use your abilities! You can inflict various things on them, being a Judge." Logan and Azelus think about it. He turns to the nearest enemy and focuses. Suddenly, it stops in its tracks, drops the weapon, and kneels. Azelus beheads it easily. That would come in handy, he felt drained though. Until the Dragon Riders come. They tear through the remaining black suits, outfitted with the weapons they had just created.

Judge Azelus keeps up his work, and he slices through one of the suits, and then impales another from behind. The realm's people were fighting valiantly, and when a black suit drives a sword into his vision, he dodges, coming up from below and to the left. He cuts the thing's right arm off, and then goes for the head. It jumps, and he gashes the thing's stomach. It hits the ground, still fighting. He unleashes a blast, destroying it and a few more around him. He sucks back in his force wave, and several more fly in with it. He spins, and jumps out, the spot where he had been, now occupied by black suits, explodes. He lands lightly, and turns to see them all dead. He smiles. Then he turns back to the remaining black suits. Suddenly, they all fall in half, their upper bodies hitting the ground. Gaband stands. There were no more, he had killed most of them in his final blow. Azelus whistles. Several people cheer. He sheaths his massive sword, and it disappears at his waist. The Judges approach Yuki. Logan runs to see if she is okay.

Azelus and Gaband watch the horizon, in case any more should come. Judgemaster Gaband kneels to heal a leg. The black suits had gotten him, and it wasn't bad, but that was amazing. Considering how he fought. Azelus nurses his own wounds, a small scratch to his clave, two long scratches from his thigh to his shin, and three bullet holes to his left arm. He mutters a spell, and they are gone, small yellow orbs covering and then healing them. He limps over to Yuki. "Well, I guess it was a good thing that you did not throw us out, huh?" He jokes lightly, still unsure of what his new role would be.

Then, he hears a shattering noise. He looks over to see a small girl of about 9 holding what was left of his saber. His jaw drops. "Oopsy, I don' know my stwength," she says sullenly. Azelus takes it from her, in a nice way, and examines it. He tunrs to Gaband, who is smiling. He storms off to Atlantis, and gets a nice bow made of yew and sinew. He tests it, and comes back to the Shadow Realm with it in hand, a quiver of dragon tipped arrows at his back. A lone black suit comes up, on of the ones not quite dead, and he aims. He looses two quick arrows as he jumps at him. The suit dies before hitting the ground.

"Sara will no doubt make even more invincible soldiers to combat the weaknesses in her current version of them," Gaband comments. "You can be sure of that."

Gaband opens a golden portal and looks at his two new Judges. They look around, and Logan sighs as he goes through. Azelus goes in next, and then the Judgemaster goes in after them. On the other side, heat blasts the three. Vertusk looks up, and he stands. A small group pulls their weapons, and he waves them off. "Randell? Why are you not in Atlantis?" A magma bubble pops, and the hissing is loud. "And who are these two?"

"I am Judgemaster Gaband, this is Judges Azelus and Sombreton," Gaband says easily. "I come from the Seam of Realms, your friend Randell is now a Judge, and will continue to serve the Immortal Law as the Judge of Atlantis. It is surprising to find a Realm Lord fighting amongst the men. I like you already. This is Sara's hideout?" Vertusk nods, and Gaband goes straight to the gates to a winding staircase all the way up to the gates of a floating castle. Azelus and Logan catch up, Vertusk stays behind a little, keeping a tactical air. Gaband walks through the gates, his armor melting a hole in the gate. Azelus tentatively walks through. Once they reach the top, three deifics pull their weapons. Gaband disarms them how he did Sara. He bursts through the gates, and walks right into Sara's throne room, the two judges close behind him, half scared. They could be killed, unlike him.

"You again?!" Sara screams from her throne. "Get out of my Empire, you fool!" With a flick of her wrist, three scythes come from nowhere. Gaband stops them by holding out his hand. "Grr...." She growls.

"Sara, stop your foolishness," Gaband says easily. "Stop breaking the law, and your life will be spared." Sara gets even more enraged. "Your retaliation of the Shadow Realm was nothing good. You are in the midst of bringing down the full weight of the Gods. And the Supreme." She laughs, and Gaband frowns. "I am pleading, stop this, please." He kneels, and for the first time, he looks kinda old. Sara stands, and Gaband gasps. "What, what are you doing?" Azelus and Logan get in front of him, they look to each other. If they were Judges, could they not pass laws? They both smile, coming on this realization. The hold out their hands, and in a flash, Sara is stopped. She looks around. Gaband stands back up. "I may not have full reign over the Immortal Law in the true Universe, but these Judges do." He nods at them. "Ingenious, what did you two do?"

"Made it so she can not suck the energy from other beings," Logan smiles. "We both understood this at the same time." Vertusk enters the throne room, surprised. Sara grabs her scythe. She was still dangerous. The two judges were drained from trying these new abilities. Gaband shakes his head at Sara, and leaves. Azelus and Logan look at eachother, and then hurry from the room. Vertusk quips and follows suit, just as Sara brings the atmosphere to nothing.

Azelus whirls, and shoots three arrows off. The black suit following them sputters, but keeps going. Gaband forces several to the ground, dead. They all keep running, then Vertusk yelps. His leg is bleeding, and he hits the ground rolling. "s**t!" Azelus drops to him, and keeps firing. His arrows run out and he curses himself. Gaband hands him another quiver, and Azelus does not question, only looses arrows one after the other, Vertusk gets back up, and continues running. They are halted by a team of five deifics. One of them throws daggers at Gaband, but his armor simply deflects them. He swings his sword into the deific, but it dodges. Azelus drops to a knee and looses to arrows, they find their marks, and he turns to loose some at the black suits. Gaband erupts and suddenly the four are blinked into existence in Dresden. Vertusk sighs, then looks around. The black suits and Deifics follow. Again, they are transported to a new realm, this time the underworld. Something keeps them from coming into it, and the four rest. "That was close." Azelus comments.

Azelus turns to see Yuki running at them. He greets her with a nod and Vertusk runs, grabbing her in a hug. Their hugging sends a big glow of gold and purple into Gaband's armor. He throws his sword into the air, and suddenly Azelus is compelled to hold his hand to the sword. Logan does the same. Out of Azelus' hand comes a beam of blue, of aqua, and Logan's a beam of black. Gaband throws both of his hands up, and a blast of what looks to be silver and gold, but really just being completely devoid of color, clear almost, shoots from his hands. Suddenly, a huge sonic boom spreads throughout the Underworld, and the sky above turns back to the dark black it once had been. Demons look up, puzzled. Gaband stops, and looks to Vertusk and Yuki. "Wow, you two are seriously in love." He turns to Azelus and Logan. Then looks up to his sword. It comes to rest in his hand. "And thus, the realms have been unmelded."

The reason for this is simple. Its too damn confusing! We hardly actually walk from Realm to Realm, we just use friggin portals. Sara still has control, and her suits can still get from one place to another, but the melding has been undone. Still, it does present a problem, her realm , the one her castle is in, is now at the center of the universe, she can get to any place she wants, easily. There is no more refugees limping from one realm to the next. They die if they can not use magics. I actually think its funner that way.

Azelus opens a portal to Atlantis, and when he sets foot on the metal planks, he looks to the skies. It was amazing to see the sky as it was meant to be. It was a golden and purple hue, kinda like the sunset on earth. It was beautiful. He looks at the inhabitants, they all cheer. They knew what it meant. The fall of Sara was coming. It certainly was. Gaband steps onto the planks as well, and he nods to Azelus. They turn to The others coming through, and then Gaband grunts. "Our audience with the gods is now. Yuki, Vertusk, please come with us, since you should be there as well, being Realm Lords." They nod and suddenly, they are before the doors to the Chamber of the Gods. The two brutish looking guards flare at them, but Gaband easily steps through. Azelus does as well. The others follow, and when they are inside, the Gods all look questioningly at them. Night stands against a wall. He gives Gaband a thumbs up.

"Judgemaster Gabband. It has been many many millennia since you have graced our presence," God stands, his white robes flowing from his body. Gabband nods. He may be powerful, but Gods are Gods. "Most of us know you, from days of yore, but There are those of us that don't. They will not take our word for it. But Vertusk, Yuki, you have seen them in action, the Judges?" He sits, waving to them. Drako snorts. "Drako?"

"I can't believe in this guy. Look at him!" Drako stands. "Even if it was you who just undid the melding, your not anything new. You look like an oversized man with a morality problem to me." Loki stands up, angered.

"I know him from way back. Me and him shared a room once, when we were settling a dispute with an ill tempered God. You shut it Drako." Loki frowns. Drako shakes his head and sits. The newest Realm Lord, the one who took over for Oblivion, stands.

"You look like you could restore peace, but I still do not trust you. I honestly think Drako is right Lok, your not about to trust the fate of the Universe to one lone man?" He asks. Loki bangs his hand on the table. "Your a fool."

"Silence you two!" Zeus stands, his voice filled with authority. "I also know him, as does all the Olympians. He is very much a trustworthy being." He sits as Loki does.

"Well good for you, but I do not trust him as far as I can throw him...." Drako mutters. He keeps seated though.

Azelus stands, his bow strung behind his back. "We don't ask for trust, we will prove our worthiness, we ask you to believe in us." God waves him down, and he stands back behind Gaband. He waves to Vertusk and Yuki. Vertusk nods to Yuki to go first.
