Daemon and Erica are walking towards with Daemon's handcuffs on both of them, preventing them from using their powers or their immortality. They are heading towards the hut.
The man appears, having using teleportation technology used by the Althari, and speaks. "Your here to watch, Daemon... the curse shall be lifted soon!"
Daemon laughs. "Yeah, right... as if the boy knows the truth completely yet!"
The man replies as he realizes the truth. "You planned this...*Daemon stops walking. Erica stops as well, confused.* YOU saved Arca's life on purpose. The left eye, meeting the 12 and their Alpha, which 10 of them ending up in Ember, Sovereign been exposed... you planned this from the start! Why?"
Erica mutters to herself as she figures it out. "Daemon-Krieg..."
Daemon smiles as he whispers the answer. "Why do you think I have 13 Krieg instead of just the one? once the 10 in Ember become one... Ember shall know of true terror!! And I'll be the one to give it to them."
****
The 10 Krieg merge into one, becoming a giant (10 ft. tall) Dragon-like humanoid without wings and 5 eyes on each side, making it have 10 eyes total. The Behemoth Krieg roars, revealing a "mouth within a mouth" and begins attacking anything in sight with its bare hands, 2 sets of teeth and its tail.

Josh's head is starting to spin as he yells and makes the speakers crackle "FAR OUT! a man with a floating eye. Aerrow. man in a suit. and now 10 of the twelve have come! RIGHT! Jaheria, Anglachel, Aerrow and Del get in that cruiser now!" Scout Eyes is the largest cruiser in the fleet, there is space for Del "do NOT even touch that box, all these people are intruding and breaching security when they shouldnt, so I dont trust these strangers.
Khalid, security, get to the courtyard now! we are having major securi-..." the screen then goes quiet as the gaurd holding the screens starts guiding the four into the cruiser. a large and building group of soldiers rapidly start surronding the man and the man with the floating eye. the rest of the soldiers suddenly becomeing very active, grabbing weapons and trying to secure the place. the ten notice the ISA soldiers suddenly running to what seems to be the same area.
Khalid steps forward pointing his gun at the man in the suit and the man with the floating eye. "I want explinations, and i want them NOW. how did you get past?! also" Khalid suddenly yells "LEVEL THREE SECURITY CLERANCE ONLY! i dont want any more breaches."
Minsc is also with Khalid holding up a rather heavy gun. (the lidless eye guy finds Minsc's mind isnt quite what he might have expected, but may still use his abilities on him. just needs a different approach).
the whole courtyard goes into lock down, as well as the surronding buildings. Scout Eyes takes off and starts flying generally away from Ember with a larger than usual escort. a fair few cruisers, and fighters. the passangers can see the Reliant a distance away heading towards the Behmoth. Hundreds of fighters and cruisers start swarming around the giant and assulting it.
Jaheria speaks "iv been listening to what Josh has been doing. he is now coordinating, and trying to find out how the breaches came, and dealing with the situation there. he will send one of the fighters or cruisers over if the contents of that box are valuable, but he doesnt trust all these intrusions, and people trying to give their advice. i agree with him.
we are currently heading towards the city of bones as you suggested before, but we can go else where if you wish. we are following your advice. the Eagle is still going to set down and search Edge Gate, cause as i said, he doesnt trust these intruding strangers, they could be enemies. unfortunatly due to the situation in Ember, i doubt they will search it for Arca for a while. but if you think it would be best, we can try and search Ember or even return there now in search of Arca to race against the 10."
***************
S: Josh does not trust these rapidly intruding strangers throwing their advice onto the him. he gets the four into Scout Eyes and to start flying away with a large escort, leaving the box behind to be examined once the situation has clamed down a little. all the ISA group together, and the courtyard goes into lock down. Khalid starts questioning the two men. the Reliant is heading over to help support having now dropped off the civilians. the lidless eye guy finds Minsc's mind isnt quite what he might have expected. Scout Eyes is currently heading towards the city of bones, and Jaheria asks Anglachel if they should remain on course, or go somewhere else. the Reliant flies over to Deamon and begins assulting him with its capital ship guns. as well as it getting a bombardment from the fighters and cruisers.

The Ascetic of the Lidless eye laughs.
He laughs at the power that the humans perceive themselves to have.
He laughs at the nerve they give him.
"Well If you fools don't want my help, I'll try the other side of this war"
"Whoever is not for you is against you"
The Ascetic of the Lidless Eye strolls back into the streets of Ember.
He reads the minds of everyone in the city.
And finds the Ten...

by Guest Wed Aug 14, 2013 5:43 pm

Calkara senses something strange in power approaching
Adar cowers wincing in pain suddenly, his mind reeling (Adar is extremely telepathic and his most powerful weapon is his mind- the approach of The Ascetic of the Lidless Eye will affect him I assume, mind wise)
Calkara looks at Adar, "Adar?...are you alright, Adar?"
Viper mutters, "something powerful approaches, we must be careful"

by Guest Wed Aug 14, 2013 6:32 pm

Beta (the behemoth Krieg) stands before his "brothers": Krieg ( The alpha of the trio) and Snide (A two-headed version of Krieg).
They are within a destroyed building in Althari.
Beta speaks. "The 10 of the 12 a within Ember: Safe!"
Snide speaks. "Likewise for Kassern and Shard... For, I have a feeling they will meet battle soon. I don't know when!"
Krieg speaks. "It doesn't matter... Daemon and His friend Erica are already imprisoned... And Alpha is not our concern anymore!"
***
Daemon wakes up, having been really unconscious the entire time after the handcuffs were placed on him. He finds himself in the Black Prison's most secure cell block. Erica is sitting in the corner of the same cell as him. Daemon sits next to Erica, but then feels something inside his body... like a great pulse of life, but of something darker than himself.
***
Krieg speaks. "All is going according to plan."
Snide replies. "TO HELL WITH A PLAN!! It was a death trap with him in there... what was he thinking!?!"
Beta responds. "Maybe he--!"
Krieg interrupts. "Our surveillance mission ends now. What needs to be done is to re-awaken The Omega within Daemon's body... That is the real Daemon."
Beta hits the ground. "Kanrad, that *Beta curses.*!"
Snide hisses. "Grow up, Beta! Omega is Our real leader! not a human casket like that."
Krieg speaks. "All that remains is the 12's trials. We shall see if they shall become Omega's enemies... or allies!"

(wait, is there a giant lizard in Ember or not?)
(you had your chance to turn around Anglachel)
after a short 26 minutes, 32 second, 18 miliseconds, and 5 and half nano seconds, Jaheria gets up and annonces "we are almost at the city of three moons. what can we expect? we will also need your guidence on where we should set down. does anyone live in the city anymore? i recall the curse originated here, but were people killed off altogether?
you should also note we have a whole team of soldiers to support you. and we have aircrafts ready to fly in for quick pickups, and drop off of extra soldiers should we need them"

by Guest Thu Aug 15, 2013 2:59 pm

(Yes, there still is a giant lizard called Beta in Ember, his mind is just in another location. here is the proof.)
***
Beta "awakens" in a meditating stance inside a bloodied sewer section under the courtyard.
Beta puts his left hand, in a fist, with his right hand, cracking his left knuckles as he lands on his feet, creating a brief tremor in the sewers than can be felt on the surface. "Step 1: Smash Occultos Box. Step 2: smash anyone who stops me! Endgame: Reunite with Big bros. In other words: BETA, SMASHES EVERYTHING!!"
Beta jumps through the roof above him, creating a hole in the ground. He lands metres in front of the hole and heads to where the box is to destroy its contents, killing anyone in his way and loud noise of footsteps coming from him walking.
***
Beta (note: He's bigger than Killer croc, whose 9 ft. tall. As in, 20 ft. tall big. And yes... He's a bit dumb in his speech patterns, but is smarter than the average human in fighting and strategy--'cause, you know... he's freaking huge and has superstrength and is a cannibal.):

The Ascetic meets the ten.
His gaze passes over them, and at last hovers on Adar.
"Rest easy, Adar. You have much potential. Remember people's minds act like children. You tell them what they want to hear, you do your purpose discretely, and they do not even know you're there"
"Now all of you, what is your purpose here?"

by Guest Thu Aug 15, 2013 3:52 pm

Beta soon finds an pummul of continuous fire from heaps of fighters and cruisers hovering around, launching everything any any thing. varying from lasers, rockets, and bullets. he loses most of his sight from all the smoke and explosions hitting him

by Guest Thu Aug 15, 2013 4:19 pm

Beta roars out as he literally swipes away the smoke and uses all 5 of his senses to navigate the area, taking the munition like bullets hitting the hull of a tank.
Beta yells out, "GIVE BETA OCCULTOS BOX WITH INFO BIG BROS DON'T WANT TO GIVE HUMANS EDGE!! BETA SMASH IF YOU DON'T!!" Beat rips out an entire building from the ground with his bare hands and tosses it at one of the ships with not much difficulty.

by Guest Thu Aug 15, 2013 5:56 pm

(no need to turn around, you're headed where I want you to go)
Anglachel answers jaheria's questions, "No one lives there anymore, it is quite destroyed, there is possibly a few residents close to the city, like common hunters and peasants, but nothing threatening, there is a long flat area on the west side of the ruins, it should be a good place to land"
**
Adar tries to focus but the presence of The Ascetic's mind is overwhelming, Adar can't read The Ascetic's thoughts, it is all just a blur
Adar grimaces and drops his gaze from The Ascetic, instantly the pain lessens
Calkara looks at The Ascetic, "We are here to find something our leader has lost, and also to weaken the humans, so they will be vulnearable to our attacks which will occur at a later date, from Adar's reaction, I assume you have some ability related to the mind or you're telepathic"
Adar clenches his teeth and forces himself to look at The Ascetic again the pain is now bearable

by Guest Thu Aug 15, 2013 6:11 pm

Daemon is in the centre of the cell, his body hanging in the air as if he's possessed. Erica is freaking out, and so are the guards.
His eyes - both rings, eyelids and eyes - are completely unseeable, as black as night, even with the light shining in his face. His body's muscle mass is suddenly at its peak, his shoulders embedded with a symbol. The same one on each shoulder that represents Beta. His shoes, pants have now become military-styled (armored combat boots (black), baggy black military pants with built-in knee guards), his sleeves rolled up to be above his elbows slightly, and his gloves are half-fingered but still armored.
Daekon's mask is a 3rd of a ways of been destroyed.
***

Beta manages to get to where they left the box in the courtyard after ignoring the ISA's attempts to best him (he's got skin as strong as Adamantium (but can be pierced by certain weapon types) and has Daemon's electricity abilities, as do the Krieg (since they are apart of Daemon, they can do what he can do.).)
Beta grabs the box, holding it with one hand. "GOT BOX!!"
Beta returns to the sewers quickly by making another hole where he stands, and prepares to destroy the box.

by Guest Thu Aug 15, 2013 6:17 pm

Beta sees a sudden flash of movement, too quick to tell who it is, but he can sense that it is a person
One minute the box was in Beta's hand the next minute it was gone
Aerrow holds the box firmly and jumps (teleport technique, like flash stepping-extremely fast)
Aerrow gets a good distance away

by Guest Thu Aug 15, 2013 6:45 pm

Aerrow hears a hissing sound,'as if its from a snake. His vision becomes distorted by a green/yellow color and his body feels weak. Aerrow succumbs to a very powerful toxin administered into the neck via snake bite, weakening him temporarily and paralyzingly him.
A large reptile humanoid, with a snake's lower body and the head of a snake, appears, holding Aerrow above the ground with its tail in a constrictive manner.
Beta lands from jumping nearby and speaks.'"Anguis! Give box!!" Anguis sighs at his younger brother, grabbing the box that Aerrow dropped. Beta crushes the box with his hand easily.
***
Anguis:

by Guest Thu Aug 15, 2013 7:00 pm

Aerrow chuckles a little mockingly, "nice reaction time you have, not many can catch me or match my speed, very well done Mr slithery snake"
Aerrow's breath wanes as he is slowly constricted
Aerrow winces as he feels his ribs nearing the point of possible breaking

by Guest Fri Aug 16, 2013 2:44 am

Anguis looks at Aerrow. "I've hunted your kind longer than you've walked this-ssssss earth, Aerrow! And I've killed families for less!!"
Beta speaks. "NO more smalltalk!"
A figure appears. "ENOUGH! Beta, sit. *Beta sighs and sits down on the ground.* Anguis: PUT. THE HUMAN. DOWN! Omega hasn't given the order to kill this one yet... likewise for its siblings." Anguis hisses like a snake as he tosses Aerrow against a wall.
The figure reveals itself to be Krieg: Eldest of the trio of "Brothers".
***
Daemon's back has Anguis's mark embedded into his back. His mask is 2 3rd's of been destroyed. His appearance indicates that his athletic and gymnastics capability is also at its peak and his canine teeth are as sharp as a snake's fangs.

by Guest Fri Aug 16, 2013 9:24 am

The Ascetic's gaze shifts to Calkara.
The presence on Adar halves.
"Yes that is true. I am and Ascetic"
"I will follow you on your errand. This will be most interesting"

by Guest Fri Aug 16, 2013 9:56 am

Aerrow gasps in air, as Anguis releases his grip
Aerrow winces when he hits the wall, but jumps (I'll call it lightning step from now on) quickly and draws his blade, and stabs it deep into Anguis
Anguis notices that Aerrow is moving faster than before
Aerrow appears from above Anguis and stabs his sword deep into Anguis' right eye
Aerrow lightning steps quickly away out of reach, and appears a good distance away
Aerrow sheaths his sword

by Guest Fri Aug 16, 2013 9:59 am

Calkara nods, "interesting indeed....we must find all the powerful people in the city, what the beast has lost can only be in the possession of one powerful enough to control it"

by Guest Fri Aug 16, 2013 12:21 pm

the building was thrown at a few fighters, they immediatly fly up to avoid it, but two of them get chipped and start spinning rapidly. but before they hit the ground two cruiser's hurtle past, and in less than a second in a blur of movement the fighters are suddenly being held in place on the side of the cruisers as they fly back to the Reliant which is currently approaching Beta.
a few bullets hit the snake with pin point accuracy from a fighter, and send the snake flying. two fighters hover near by.
all the fighters and cruisers stop firing, and Beta hears from the capital ship "you have your box." and then all the ships wait with a safe distance.
********************
the cruisers and fighters adjust course slightly as the city appears before them. a few fighters fly out from the small fleet and zip across the city, sending data back to the cruisers, slowly mapping out the city and beginning to patrol it. Arca (where ever he is) hear's fighters fly over.
the long strip comes into view, and most of the cruisers set down. Soldiers quickly step out and secure the immediate area. a few fighters also land while the rest start circling and patroling. a few cruisers remain hovering above in the air.
the party steps out onto icy concrete floor that is slightly slippy. Jaheria grabs the side of the Scout Eyes as she slips herself. "Woah... right." a team of elite soldiers step forward in formation and salute. "Lead the way" Jaheria says as she turns to Anglachel and Aerrow. the Scout Eyes creaks a little as Del steps out.

by Guest Fri Aug 16, 2013 1:24 pm

While in the air, Anguis recovers and darts back to where he was standing, hissing as his wounds heal quickly and emit smoke.
Krieg responds to The capitol ship's captain's statement. "It was never our box to begin with." *Krieg looks at Aerrow with killing intent.* "I will find out the secret of you and your siblings... but, you should be more worried about what we'll do too your sisters, when we're finished with Arca!"
Krieg, Beta and Anguis disappear and re-appear in the ruins, their gaze towards Arca's location of which they assume as they spot a hut. (they used Daemon's method of reaching the ground by becoming lightning.)

by Guest Fri Aug 16, 2013 1:35 pm

Arca has become quite close friends with his rescuer, but not once has his rescuer removed their cloak to reveal their face
Arca watches the figure with the ice blue eyes, "May I at least know the name of my rescuer?"
The figure seems to hesitate slightly, "You may...call me...Jet"
Arca smiles, "Thank you for your hospitality Jet"
Jet senses something, "Wait here Arca"
Jet peers outside, "Someone is close by"

by Guest Fri Aug 16, 2013 1:40 pm

one of the fighter's detect the disturbance (considering there isnt really anyone else around). it goes to investigate it, sending a signal to Jaheria telling her.
Jaheria recieves it, but ignores it for the moment. "lead the way"

by Guest Fri Aug 16, 2013 2:59 pm

Krieg hears Arca's brief conversation due to his sense of hearing being stronger than Anguis and Beta's. "Jet, huh?"
"How does he know about Arca's destiny? Is he hiding something, like those three!"
"It doesn't matter: the number 2 and 12 are likely to be near by now! Now is the time to act!!"
***
Daemon's mask is destroyed, and falls to the ground in pieces. ((The actual bottom of his shoes is not there except for the middle section, making him technically bare-footed. His "horns" are what they were normally, except they extend in a pointed tip to the very back of his head and curve to the sky like demon or dragon horns and have sharpened and solidified to become actual horns. His gauntlets cover everything except for above the elbow, and have a sharp blade-like extension at the elbows. The length of his jacket his full-length, but retains its appearance, but a bit torn at the very bottom. And finally: his ears are pointed like a demon's and his eyes, eye-rings and eyelids are permanently cloaked in complete darkness, even in the light.))
All the guards can't figure out what's happening, especially since this isn't supposed to happen, and are panicking but not succumbing to chaos. Erica however, feels more connected to Daemon and understands what's going on: The Omega is about to awaken.

by Guest Sat Aug 17, 2013 5:17 am

Del mutters, "I'm not that fat and heavy"
Anglachel chuckles, "Del...you are bigger than any average bird or lion"
Del sniffs the air, "Arca is close by"
Anglachel nods, "There is a small hut just up ahead, he may be there"
Anglachel heads towards the hut
***
Jet senses this and can also sense the presence of Krieg, Anguis and Beta
Jet quickly grabs a cloak for Arca, "Hurry we must get out the back way and make off into the woods"
Arca and Jet go out the back way and head deep into the woods
Arca hurries after Jet, "Jet....that is a strange name for one with the voice of a woman, you're not a man are you Jet..."
Jet looks around at Arca, "No, I am female...but that fact isn't important right now, come on!"
Arca and Jet quicken their pace
