Let the Games Begin

Emri holds her ground.
While she is in the void, she is in control.

small whisp of fire appeares, and launches at Silence, burning him and his clothes. the barriar momentarily slows down. Silence summons water from the plants around him, and doses the fire. he continues to focus.
the darkness continues to ignore Emri, unhindered by her, zipping straight through the gate.

Fenris awakens restrained to a highly sophisticated restraining table and wearing a Raztec off-duty uniform. He spots his clothes that have been absolutely destroyed and his weapons in Aries's possession as he stand a in front of Fenris. Aries speaks. "You don't deserve these weapons and abilities. Your not a real member of MY species. I deserve it more because I've got your unique talents! So, I'm gonna make you serve me."
Fenris notices his right arm looking like a highly sophisticated, futuristic, indestructible and highly advanced cybernetic arm that matches the design of his body structure and armor style and learns that it has an arsenal of hidden weapons that he can put of use and to re-create his own.
Fenris looks at Aries and sighs. "If what you say is true, then why aren't YOU the one with Black Ghost inhabiting youy body and mind!?!!"
Fenris emits a strange and very dangerous form of energy that looks like an aura. Fenris easily rips of his bonds. Aries equipps Fenris's sword and arm-sheild--surprisingly strange, the sword accepts its new wielder--and attempts to strike him down. A newer (and more cooler looking) version of Shrike-Dracan is formed from Fenris's right arm along with a newer version of the arm-shield. Fenris Parries the blow from Shrike-Dracan--breaking the sword--and strike Aries, who goes flying out of the facility as a result of the impact of Fenris'ss swing. Fenris sheaths Shrike-Dracan and places it on his back and spots am attire he likes:'a military-grade sleeveless biker's sleevlees jacket with extended collar, military combat pants and boots, military-grade half-finger biker gloves and a badass of a pair of military-grade shades. Fenris creates a rocket launcher with the firepower of an air strike and levels the facility as he literally walks away without looking at the explosion. Fenris calls his new arm "Arsenal" for obvious reasons.

Emri grins.
"Thank you, I have enough now"
Emri leaps away from the gate.
Something changes.
Something shifts.
Something bends.
The Darkness finds that it cannot reach the gate.
It takes an eternity to travel the last few metres.

Fang hides out in his frozen crib and re-makes Jhoke-Klawe and Wolffe-Hunter... but made them even better than ever.
Fang starts an organization codenamed "The Dealers". Their goal: Make Raztec suffer by any means necessary. In other words: start a war with them.
Gangs and mercenaries join Fenris's cause as he supplies them with kick-ass weapons, gear, vehicles and military knowledge and training and become the first of "The Dealers".
The Dealers make their move as Fenris raids a Raztec military base with nothing but two fully upgraded "Grave Diggers" (from Saints Row: The Third).
The Dealers assist Fenris by building themselves their own HQ.
***
The base has burning corpses as Fenris stares at a vault and next to it, a room with a mask similar to his old one but more like a full head helmet that acts like an actual face integrated into it. In other words: he found his new face. Fenris steals this helmet and wears it as his alternate persona as the leader of "The Dealers". Fenris has the vault removed from the base and ground by having it taken by helicopter whilst it attached to grappling hooks. Fenris holsters his twin shotguns on either side of his hips and steels a Raztec motorcylce as an escape vehicle back to the dealer's HQ.

(yes im aware Emri is a demi-God. but i still think the darkness can do the following. the darkness could always do this, but it generally doesnt when going from universe to universe, so that it can stay "grouped" together).
the darkness, recognises what is going on, it sees the "tunnel" it compresses how ever much it can. (destroys it if possible). then launches through, it's speed faster than light (this is the void, not the universe).
not going to let this oppertunity in to slip.

the darkness briefly stops going through the gate, but soon returns. but now all that comes through goes soring across the area the gate is in (and hits the wall if there is anything like that)

Emri grunts.
She twists and turns, dancing a complex form.
something forms in front of the gate.
When the darkness draws near to the gate, it is banished and dispersed through the limitless reaches of the void.
As if an ever-shifting portal had been created around the gate.

Anglachel at long last heads back to the Shattered Circle inn, but for some reason finds it oddly empty, not even the bartender is there....
Anglachel approaches the inn, it seems quiet....
too quiet for Anglachel's liking

(ha, smart Kaiser, very smart. hmm, lets see...)
the darkness is furious!
it starts to twist and turn as well around the gate, learning what is going on here, trying to find a way by. it starts creating small portals which jump a minute distance to bypass the portal. slowly it begins start trickling through, which soon becomes a flow.
the darkness manages to take a stable form, and creates a humanoid creature, with claws, and teeth. it launches at silence.
Silence swears to himself (in his head)... *"swears" (im a christian). but remains focussed on the gate. as the creature swings, it's claws dont quite hit Silence, instead they get pushed by, like a slippery slope surronding Silence, redirecting the attacks to the ground, or the side.
but everytime it does so, Silence whinces, and the barrariar briefly slows.

at the same time, the darkness launches at Emri, giving priority to keeping him occupied. and making sure it knows what Emri is doing. casting "spells" to better understand what she is doing.

the barrariar is 3/4 done

suddenly the creature attacking Silence collapses having been cleaved in half by a long blade
Anglachel mutters about the nusiance of the darkness
Anglachel cleans her blade
Anglachel sighs, "I'll have to take care of the inn issue later"

Silence (with some relif) returns his focus on the barrariar. he is extremly pale, on his knees, hand up, head down. his hands begin shaking, but he keeps going.

Anglachel feels a small tug at her life force, her energy. a polite request, in no way forceing her, but she somehow feels capable to giving how ever much energy she chooses.

a long scaley creature slides through the gate, and at first runs around confused, then sees Silence. Also a small creature about the size of a small dog, or a cat suddenly comes out, and runs off into the distance with unbelivable speed.

(Emri is a girl)

Emri draws her blades again.
"don't make me hurt you"
Emri takes a stance.
her dance becomes sudden, sharp, movements.
The whole area, Emri, darkness, everything but the gate, is transferred to far away.
"I said no more!"

Anglachel looks at Silence, "need any help?"
Anglachel's eyes flare blue
Silence feels new strength pour into him
Anglachel smiles, "keep up the good work"

Fenris senses a disturbance at the shattered circle Inn and goes to investigate. He parks his stolen bike out back and enters. the place is still deserted, but Fenris's eyes begins to glow an ominous blood/insane red color. He waves his hand in the air in front of him, and time in the inn stops altogether, as a "Crime scene" has begun, as he seems to be hearing a loop of (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoWkpg9sTCE). A illusion-like holographic monitor with tocuh-screen capability via dragon magic forms in front of Fenris and he tweeks with it. As he does so, time reverses as if it was scene from a film on DVD. He learns that the peeople there were either taken or disappeared, as figures were there that weren't of the positive force. Fenris has the scene play out like it was happening at the moment, and learns that there is a trail that starts out of the front entrance of the inn. Time continues as the "crime scene" has been solved. Fenris follows the "glowing" trail on foot. Prior to following the tracks, Fenris unlocks "The third's Claws". Fenris uses these claws a weapons to defend himself as he follows the trail.

Fenris notices that some people in the scene wore Raztec uniform...and he also notices that Anglachel had been there, but turned around to go back to help Silence, instead of entering the inn....and it was lucky she did turn around...because the people were waiting for her.
Fenris ends up at a dark factory building, surrounding the perimeter of the building is a high sinister looking spiked fence....this place is obviously a prison...

Fenris "sheathes" his claws and daily jumps over the fence in the form of a backflip and lands In a kneeling position. If he had a face, he would have the smirk of a killer and the cold death stare of one as well.
Fenris is spotted by Raztec soldiers, who end up beaten to death with a crowbar by Fenris himself. Fenris grabs thier security cards and infiltrates the prison.

Fenris is on a killing spree, sparing key personal to finding Astra and her people. By the time the key person reveal Astra and her people's prison sector in the the prison after severe and relentlessly heartless torture, Fenris rips their skulls from Thier bodies from the inside, killing of them. He then finishes the other personnel he grouted off by beating them to death with the cry skull he "collected" from one of his victims.
Fenris enters the cell block where they are keeping Astra and her people.
(When I say people, I mean those who were taken prisoner along with Astra.)

Astra lies quite still, resting against another girl
Astra is bleeding, quite severely from a cut across her stomach
Astra shows signs of being tortured and beaten, hence she has a black eye
The girl that Astra is resting against is crying a little and is shaking
The girl looks up at Fenris, her expression becomes one of being even more scared, and she sobs, "We don't know where Talons is, please Astra is injured, even if you torture us, we cannot give you information we don't know...."
Fenris senses a presence approaching, a dark presence....this is no normal Raztec soldier
A man rounds the corner and sees Fenris
The man manipulates the air, "what is a soon to be prisoner doing out of his cell?"
The girl shields Astra as wind whips towards Fenris

Fenris chuckles. "Do you even know who your dealing with, little boy!?"
Fenris draws his knuckle claws, merges them and draws his wrist claws, and merges with the as well.
Fenris moves against the whipping wind, no matter what it is doing to him and his surroundings, and uses a shield of Dragon flames to protect the civilians and wounded.
Fenris chuckles again. "I'm gonna enjoy learning how you did this air manipulation technique whilst I slowly kill you for info on Aries!!!"

(sorry mam, i tried to remember, but i just keep seeing your pic)
the darkness flares, an unbelivable powerful force launches at Emri, far stronger than what was used at the gate. the force is unexpected as it starts hacking at Emri.

some of the darkness launches at the gate with tremendous speed.
as it reaches the gate the final few inches close up, and a great wave of creatures leap through the gate launch at Silence, but just before the first one reaches him the gate closes, and almost instantly the creature head off in their own directions, running, rolling, some even digging into the ground and vanishing.

the snake like creature still looms, Anglachel briefly sees it, then it vanishes behind a rock. preparing to attack.
Silence falls in a heap on the ground, sickly pale, eyes white, barly able to move and gasping for air. he very slowly reaches into his bag and a bottle crawls its way out into his hand. its water.

the light of the world dims
the moon is nowhere to be seen
a figure is seen by everyone
but only just before the light goes out completely

the snake is undisturbed by this, and begins to approach Silence

two glowing red lights appear about 9 ft above the ground
a red outline of a war-hammer appears
with a swing the hammer hits the ground
shaking the planet
the darkness (real) begins to flow into the hammer
once the light reappears The Behemoth laughs
standing before them he holds a war-hammer twice his size
Hikari to Yami no ko stands with The Behemoth
muttering something under his breath
a smile crosses The Behemoth's face

Fenris can see that the man manipulating air is quit young for a Raztec soldier, not too much older than Astra (which is about 19yrs)
Fenris is curious about the man's ability to manipulate air, becasue no Raztec soldier has abilities and any who do are killed quickly by the head of Raztec, but for some reason this one has been kept alive.
The man sees that the air manipulation isn't working, the man swings their other hand in a circular motion and shards of glass form out of nowhere, which he then uses the air to push them towards Fenris at an alarming speed, the glass shards slice into Fenris,but otherwsie casue minimal damage
The man looks shocked as Fenris continues to advance
The girl looks at the man suddenly realising who it is "The son of the original creator of Raztec, the son of the first Raztec leader"

Fenris stops moving and stands normally. "You should know: I'm the one who killed the first leader of Raztec!". At this point, Fenris is standing at the right length to grab the man by hand. Fenris grabs the man by the head and pins him against a wall--whilst nearly destroying the wall the man is pinned against. "START TALKING! WHO ARE YOU!!?"

Emri grins.
"that's the spirit. But not today. I have a people to rebuild"
Emri winks out of existance for a moment.
And arrives by the gate.
Emri holds up her dirks.
The Arha return to the gate.
Out of the dirks form new warriors, replenishing the ranks of those lost to the darkness, and even more.
