Eve was watching the night sky and saw a few stars that turned into shooting stars.She sighed and looked down the beaten path that was used over one too many times. In the distance she J returning but Eve didn't move. She was already in a fit of pain as well as a very bad mood thanks to the black suits for useing her as a chopping board. When J got closer, she nodded her head and spoke. " What were you doing J? I thought we were suppose to find some medical supplys so that I can fix this damm gash!" J didn't speak at all but simply waved her off. Eve looked upset but she let it go. some thing was bothering him but she wasn't going to ask unless he wanted to.

Vertusk arrives, his face worried as he steps from the portal, on the other side was Atlantis. Sara had attacked again. Instead of stopping, all of Atlantis had been destroyed, this time, not a single bit was left. He had no emotion. Azelus steps with him from the portal, he was sobbing. Vertusk pats him, but it brings only more sobbing, and Azelus hits the floor.
"By the Gods!" he cries out, angry. "I have sealed the fate of all my kind!" Vertusk shakes his head, and tells Yuki the bad news. This time, Atlantis, with all it could do, was no match against an even more deadly enemy. Sara had somehow made the black suits worse. Not only that, he had a feeling they were clones of herself. The city, while Azelus dreamt fitfully, Atlantis was assaulted. They penetrated the shield, and destroyed the homes of him, Azelus, and so many more. Azelus looks up, tears fresh. "I should have never come to power, Vertusk, you should have never leaved! All I do is bring destruction!" He curls up on his side, hurt. "She killed my parents, and now my home, and my spirit..." He breaks out in fresh sobs. Gaband comes from nowhere, his eyes grave. Azelus starts to sob yet again. Vertusk grabs him and pulls him to his feet. Azelus stands for a moment, and falls back to the terracotta, his hands around his head. "I CAN HEAR THEM SCREAM AGAIN!" He bursts out. "MY PARENTS, THEY WANT ME TO HELP THEM! ALL THE DENIZENS, THEY WANT REVENGE! MAKE IT ALL STOP!" Gaband hauls him off, and Vertusk looks back.
"She has gone too far, again," he says darkly. "Nothing we do can stop her. I am fearful of her retaliation against revolution." He shakes his head again, his brow furrowed in anger.

She hears the bad news and couldnt believed it, inside she was feeling grave guilt that it was a mistake to not stayed and looked further to see if more were to come. "This is part my fault, I should of-" Yuki didnt want to think the worse but had to see for herself, not telling anyone she goes out and heads to Atlantis to see first hand the damage. Once there her eyes took in everything and teared herself, the city was put in ruins the same way she remembered from way back. Turning her head she sees the others feeling it worse.
Yuki goes up to Vertusk and sees the pain Azelus was feeling seeing everything back to where it started, she looks to Vertusk teared, "I should of stayed here and waited but no, I left thinking it was alright but I was wrong.....so wrong." Clenching her fist Yuki was feeling great guilt that this happened over again and a thought came to her. Sara was angered at the new Judges and had a idea that this was a way to get to the judges by causing destruction to the realms they represented. It stayed in her mind and didnt want to think is was the cause of this.
Looking over as Azelus she wanted to say sorry to him for all this but didnt think it would do much, he was too overtaken at the sight. Yuki could only do now is look around her.

He wanted to spring wings and take flight away from all of his life, but Azelus knew he could not. "I, I can not, can not do this anymore." He throws his bow to the ground, and rips his armor off. He walks away. "Damn, can anyone make me a portal out of here?!" He blasts a bit of bolts from his hands, a trick picked up by a Thundrake. It hits a nearby rock formation, causing the rocks to shatter. Gaband picks up his things, and waits patiently. Vertusk keeps quiet. Then, Gaband gives Azelus his wish. And the Judge sprouts wings. Azelus screams as he is flown into the air, not being able to control the new appendages. About twenty five feet into the air, they disappear. He hits the ground with a dull thud, a small imprint of his body on the dirt. He lays there, still sobbing. He gets the hint, and forces himself up. He grabs his things from Gaband. Armored and armed again. He goes to the only spire the city had left. He climbs to the top of the ragged ruin. He looks off into the distance.
"Atlantis, my home, I have failed you," he begins. "But please, let me make it up to you. To all those that called this beautiful place home. I want to make the universe a better place. Lend me the strength to do so." He is lifted, and golden spirals raise from the water. They touch him, and the water parts. Three cities rise. The other lost cities of Atlantis. Vertusk gasps. The people all hold their hands to their hearts. The magic brings Azelus to the closest one. Silently, he mourns with them for the lost. They all nod to him in unison. "I am sorry, I let one of the cities fall. I do not blame any of you. The fact that you have again risen up, brings hope though. Out of the ashes of one, three more shall rise to take its place. Atlantis may no longer be a city, but the Realm of Atlantis shall live on. Let me bring peace to this realm, and let Vertusk rule with an iron fist." He turns, tears still streaming, but he felt better. "And may the Gods bring us light."

Yuki felt warm and calm to see what happened and felt a little at ease," Among thw ashes comes a new beginning, perhaps there is hope through the termoil after all." At that she wanted to stay and gaze upon the new surrounding but she begun to hear noises, she stares down and focused on it and became afraid. She hears loud thuds and the sound of metal and whispered to herself, No, not Lokchaos!....not the shadow realm. Yuki had a good hunch something was going wrong in her realm and was worried. Backing away from the group she runs as far as she could out of sight, when she feels shes alone opens a portal to her realm. She reaches to the kingdom's gate and sees dark imperial soldiers armed ready to fight.
Looking across the horizon Yuki sees the commotion and froze in fear, black suits were seen and were coming closer" Soldiers! dont let them pass the gates, guard the kingdom with your lives." Yuki summons her sythe and stands with the army wanting to help protect the kingdom, she hears the residents run for cover and wait out the chaos. The black suits were coming close and Yuki orders the group to attack head on and they followed, both sides hit each other hard sparks go every which way as the dark army's weapons try to penetrate the black suits armor. "Damn Sara she attacks and breaks the law of not to harm this realm, she's going too far now."
One by one bodies of soldiers and suits lay on the ground and the fighting continues, Yuki leaps from place to place striking at the suits able to cut through most with her sythe infused with her magic. Ramming into each suit in her way she thought the odds were with her but miscalculated, these suits were more powerful then the last ones that came causing more of a problem, distacted a suit comes from behind swinging his sword down hitting Yuki in the leg. Screaming in agony Yuki continues to attack slowed down from the hit and each time she attacked was hit yet again from behind.
"Damn this isnt good, there stronger and arnt as easy to predict now." she keeps at it and finally after a few hours passed the suits laied dead but she too had a heavy loss. Nearly half of the dark imperial army was killed in the fight and she herself wasnt looking too good, her leg had a huge gash and cuts marked all over her body. Angered she cursed up to the sky and was inraged, Sara has went foward against the laws and continued to do as she pleased,"All because of her...I lost a great amount of people for something that wasnt suppose to happen, she has gone beyond all the laws and doesnt care."
Yuki laied against a tree unable to walk without tearing more into her cut, she looks to her sythe stained in blood and holds it in her hands, if it wasnt infused with her dark power the black suits would of tore through the army and wreak havoc to the kingdom. Citizens begun to rise out from hiding gradually and is stun to see all the bodies on the ground, some see the soldiers and begun to morn some related to them. Yuki started to cry herself, the pain that they were feeling was the same she was, seeing the grief and loss hit her hard and didnt want to see her people experience any kind of grivence. Yuki begun to see her old memories of when her father rein over the realm and how much pain and suffering he caused, she wanted to prevent that from happening again.

The cities of New Atlantis, Ichseam and Gildean were connected, and not out of work on the part of the citizens of old and new. Apparently, after so long, when they saw Atlantis fall into ruins, they decided to float back up. They were filled in, and mournful that they did not help sooner. Atlantis' energy was among all three, and the energy of the combined cities was great. It was reassuring seeing such a thing. Azelus sits among his new office, a dark room high up on a spire that was adjacent to the one Vertusk took up perch. He sits toiling over a law system, Gaband and Logan, aswell as two more Judges from Heaven, an angel named Jamie, and a Nothing named Kiman. Jamie had gray wings that fit in well with her white armor. And Kiman had very dark hair, that fell in layers over his pitch black and bright white armor. "So, it is decided, that from here on, we are not in the war, we just help lead along side? Enforcing what we can?" Gaband nods to Azelus' comment. Azelus writes it down. "And, we need two piece of dark amber to create this.... Let me see...." He turns in a chair, and finds two suitable pieces. "One three ounce peace of Chaos..." He rummages around, and then hurries out into the open hallway that lead from his small office to another one, and two store rooms. The cities were extremely similar, and he had already found store rooms for many magical things. He returns with a specimen, and lays it down in the vial. "And one piece of the God of Order...." He thinks about the ingredient, he had once heard an alchemist, Ezekial, talking about how to make it from dragon scale and pure magiseal. He grabs the materials, asks Jamie to meld it, and sets it down. "So, with these items, we should be able to enact all five of these laws?" Gaband nods, guiding him. The others watch curiously. He again asks Jamie, and this time Kiman, to meld them, the large pot bubbling with raw molten material. It was platinum in color.
Two hours later, a golden tablet with a sheen surface sits before them. Azelus thinks. Gaband makes an etching motion. "So, I etch the law?" Azelus asks, curious. Gaband nods yes. "Okay then." He spends another hour working on etching the laws into it with fine print. Gaband holds it, examining the work. "Then I hold it out, for all to see, and it.... shatters into law..." He reads from Gaband's journal. "All that work, for damn near nothing?" He shakes his head and takes it. Then, outside on a small platform, he holds it into the setting sun. "And so forth, it is done..." He really had no idea what to say. But it shatters into dust, and the dust spreads, as if with the power to fly and a mind to do so. Azelus and the others stand dumbfounded.

Lokchaos continue to go on with its normal pattern even through having to see the sight of pure death across both sides, like that of King Cyrus's reign each day filled in misery and grim surroundings, the way he liked everything to be. Once his death came and Yuki took over it seem to have brighten up for being a realm suppose to be a nothing world but instead she made sure it wouldnt become such a world. With Sara's attack though the kingdom knew that things wouldnt go down so quickly.
Yuki rested in her chamber trying to heal from the fight, her sythe laid by her vanity while her bloodied dress lay on a chair across from her,"That Sara, whatever seems to not go her way she destrys things....I dont understand." Unable to rest peacefully she painfully gets up and slips her dress on rushing out the door. Guards try to ease her to go back to her chamber but she pushes her way out into the garden and heads forth to Atlantis, she had to inform Vertusk and the others what had happened with the close invasion to the shadow realm.
Yuki didnt know what to think would happen next but if Sara was going to break each and every law at her will then something had to be done fast before things got worse.

Vertusk smiles at the three judges, as they high five in a small courtyard overlooking a beautiful beach. The only one not there was Logan. Gaband was watching the water, his helm next to him on the rail. Logan said he felt something bad, and had left to his realm. It was a bright enough day, with nothing really happening. That was when Vertusk perks his head up. "I know! We could always have a tourney!" The others smile and pull their weapons. "Damn, I am good at making things to do." Vertusk goes about, chin up, telling people about it. It would be a perfect way to test eachother, and eventually, the people would be able to help in the Alliance. Gaband nods as he sets up a good ring, and sets out ground rules, like no magics for one day, only magics for the next. Azelus gets ready, sparring with Jamie, his bow easily keeping him from Jamie, but her wings were damn good. Azelus thinks for a moment, and approaches her.
"Your damn good with those wings of yours," he says offhandedly. "What would they be like for all the judges? Would that not help us?" She laughs, and tells him that ranged weapons found little to no use in the hands of an angel, much less in the hands of a powerful one. More powerful angels needed no weapons, they flew too fast. "If I give up the bow... Could I get some?" Jamie looks at him, a blank expression on her face.
"I could give you some. I was once the head Battle Angel. i still have those powers. But you would not part from your bow." She says lightly. "Would you like some?" Azelus always wanted wings, and was going to learn the ability from his next travels. He would purposely piss of a lycanthrope, and it would earn him the ability. But angel wings seemed more fun.
"Lay em on me!" he says excitedly. She brightens up, and two minutes later, picking himself up off the floor. he flaps his new sixteen foot wingspan. "AWESOME!"

Yuki didnt get as far as she hoped, each time she tried to go her energy went even lower, "With injuries like this my energy is being used to heal instead to be used." she stared into the sky and felt like she was being watched nearby, turning she sees Logan rushing to her in worry, "My lady something isnt right did something-" he paused looking to Yuki at her wounds and nearly fell backwards, "My My...Yuki who did this to you?! tell me this instance, why are you hurt." Yuki looks to him with a seldon look, "Sara,...she was about to destroy Lokchaos and invade the palace, I couldnt let her." Logan turns his head nearly tearing from her appearance,"Why....you could of been killed my lady, look at yourself it almost look as you were close to death."
She stayed silent and puts a hand to him, "Logan you've been almost a father to me, I'm grateful for that but as ruler I cant stand and do nothing, my people needed me, besides I went into the dark imperial army at age ten, I'm capable of defending mysel..-" Logan angered at Yuki's comments slaps her across the face causing her to kneel on the ground. Stunned, Yuki looks up to Logan who then looks down to her, "You may have been, but what if you were to die them hmm? where will the shadow realm go then!." He looks to her and frowns at her, "Please forgive me,...I was out of hand it's just." he helps her up and hugs her close,"If you died right now I dont know what to think its would be like watching a daughter die right in my eyes."
Yuki didnt say anything but realized how serious Logan was, he was close to her raising her to be who she was...a free thinker. Looking on her wrist she she the wirds appear on her skin and just looks back,"I shall show you you the damage that witch has cost to this realm, you need to see for yourself what I have tried to protect with the army's help." She tries to walk on her own but Logan sees she's too hurt and carries her on his shoulder. Upon looking at the field he takes in the field stained in both the soldier's and suit's blood,"I should of been here, we wouldnt have lost so many.
Yuki looks around and nods with him and ask Logan to help her get to Atlantis, he protest to the idea. "With you hurt like this, you shouldn'y be traveling, and I dont think Vertusk needs to see you in this condition." she sighs,"They need to know, I cant just let this go by like it never happened, especially with the suits involved." Logan stays persistent but looking at her face he knew she was right this time. He carefully keeps her close and the two of them travel to Atlantis.

Two weeks had passed since Azelus got his wings. Now, he had a knife skinning the bark from a tree, to make a good spear. The wooded ar4ea was ripe with good choices. Jamie had taught him how to use his new wings, but it took him time to get used to them. During the tourney, he fought with them, and Jamie cheered him on. He liked them. But, then as he was about to finish an opponent, he was whisked off to who knows where. Now, he had no way of getting back. He doubted the others would find him either. His thoughts are jarred when a large mountain cat screeches at him. He jumps up, and thrusts the spear. The big cat circles, and two more join it. Azelus gulps. He could easily fly out of the situation, but he did not want to be spotted by any enemies. He decides he should anyway, and jumps. Unfurling his wings, he pumps hard to lift himself up and out of the danger zone. His armor had adjusted on its own. Now lighter, and more fitted, it gave him and his now lighter body less weight to deal with.
Up in the air, he soars around, looking for a way out. It seemed like it was a very heavily wooded area, with a few scattered lakes. He eyes from the air a castle, with.... He ducks as bullets reign on him, and he ducks low. He knew no evasive maneuvers, and that could be bad. He dips below the tree line and flies as fast as he can, slow compared to Jamie, towards the castle.
_____________________________________________________________
Vertusk keeps a weary eye on his wife. The tourney had been interrupted with her arrival, and Azelus' departure. "So, let me get this straight, Sara attacked your realm, again?" He holds his nose in between his fingers. "Lemme get this straightened out..." He turns to Gaband, who turns to Logan. "You can keep her out, right?" Gaband nods to Logan, who sighs and takes Yuki. Gaband opens a portal to the realm, and goes through.
"Me and Gaband will make it so she and her suits can not get into the realm," Logan says easily. "But you have to be there."

Yuki wasnt liking the suggestion too much, the thought of going back there made her feel uneasy."I dont understand why I must be present, I've seen enough already." She was frantic about if they tried to stop Sara from going back it could anger her even more and the next time the palace will be nearly defenseless from the lat battle. Unable to really do much in her condition she couldnt really be protesting. Yuki looks to Logan and just sighs, "If this will end the grieving then I have no choice, I shall come with you, besides I dont know what will be waiting." Nodding in agreement Yuki agrees to go back knowing she felt weary of the idea.

Now, Azelus was fighting several men, he had acquired better use of his wings. The men had never seen a winged being. It gave him an advantage. He clears several piers of men with rifles, and lands. He grabs his knife and continues on. Desperate to find some way of getting out of the mess.
_____________________________________________________________________
Logan and Gaband wait for Yuki. And in the palace, Logan had created a tablet of material just like Azelus had with Atlantis, except Gaband was pumping weird magics into it. Once done, he etches the small letters into it, and chants them as well. Logan touches the tablet, and together, with Yuki alongside, they lift it up. A bright light encompasses the realm, and Gaband looks to Yuki. "Do you agree with the words? Is this what you want?" She nods. "You have to say yes."

Looking to the text she shes what was written and really didnt know what to think, This might work but still.... I'm feeling weary about this plan shaking the tought she had to believe this time. Looking out a window panel she sees below and thought of the sake of Lokchaos, another attack would be the end. Yuki nodded off for a second then looks to Gaband,"Yes, this is what I want just let this go on already before I think the negatives and think twice." She had to believe on the bright side, it will bring some peace back to the realm and it could get back to being normal. Yuki had made up her mind and agrees to what was written giving her best decision.

Sara is suddenly beside them, and her eyes are angry. But, she can do nothing. Gaband smiles at her. "Even an immortal law as powerful as this will stop you. This is going to be the end, Sara." She smiles, and turns to a captured Azelus, who was working furiously against her. Gaband roars. Then she is gone. "LOGAN! FIND HER!" He again roars and rushes out of the palace and then summons a great beast. Jamie is suddenly there, her own dragon underneath her. They ride off and start searching. Logan looks to Yuki.
"Um," he shrugs and runs off to help find Azelus, who could die at any moment. He stops and turns. "Trust me, the black suits can't get in, and neither can Sara. Not to do harm, or even terrorize for that matter." He runs off again.
______________________________________________________
Sara brings her scythe close to Azelus' neck. He kicks her, and she steps back. "Why you little-" she exclaims. "GRR!" Azelus keeps struggling, and when he does get free, he shoots out the window. Sara flies after him, using her own power. Azelus keeps going as fast as he can, but Sara keeps close behind. More guns, and he soon wishes he had not even taken the time to look around the castle. Sara is right above him, when a dragon almost rips her to shreds. She is stunned, momentarily, and Azelus and the dragon rush off to a safe haven. Landing, roughly, Azelus sits down, exhausted. The dragon lands easily and turns to look for her. But without the evil witch in sight, the mighty beast turns to Azelus.
"I am Jurktin, mighty Dragon of the East," the winged beast exclaims, her eyes knowledgeable. "You have found yourself in the Realm of Dragons. You are lucky you escaped her wrath. Now, where are you from, Winged One?" The... Realm of Dragons?! Azelus looks wide eyed.
"I am from Atlantis," he answers. "I am a Judge. And the wings are from an angel, I asked for them, she gave me them. Still getting used to them though." He smooths the ruffled feathers.

She watches Logan take off and sighs in relief,"He has new responsibilities now, I'm just glad thats this law should give protection for awhile." Once he was out of sight Yuki heads into the gate to the garden and kneels among a bed of roses. Pressing one between her fingers the memory of the past flashed back from when she pricked herself and Vertusk was very worried with the rose being poisonous, "At least i have one worry out of the way and the old ones to deal with." Yuki gets inside and sees Everest waiting for her in the throne room glad to see her mother again but looked at her when she saw her cuts.
Yuki waits for awhile wondering if the others were able to catch up to Sara and help Azelus."I know they did, I have a good feeling they did but still..." Worried she goes to her mirror and tries to see where were they now but it failed to find them. "Perhaps they are just somewhere I cant see, this is odd." Her energy started to gain back gradually but still hurt from her injuries, The law that was set gave her something less to stress about but had to worry of the possible outcomes.
