Roleplay:The Elemental Wars

The (indirect) sequel to The Fury Of The Elemental Gods!

Plot
The Elemental Clans are ten clans scattered throughout Mobius that are each tied to one of the Elemental Gods. Although they don't always get along, major conflicts outside of their respective territories are rare.

Unfortunately, now their deities have disappeared, all contact being severed between them and the Clans' priests and priestesses. Enraged, terrified and shocked, the ten Clans grow restless. Only a mysterious 11th Clan that worships a being of Nothingness known as Nihlus knows what happened to the Elemental Gods...

Intro
[Within a foggy, dark place on Mobius, a massive, black-robed echidna with a bone mask covering his face stands before the eight Elemental Gods, restrained by the mist itself]

???: And so it comes that I, Nihlus, the Older Brother of the Elemental Gods, truly a band of over-glorified Chaos beasts with elements instead of the might of Chaos, have taken my younger siblings captive after these many thousand years. It wasn't that hard either. I mean, who set you against each other? Who was that dark little voice whispering in your ears, telling you that your opposite number was out to get you and your clan, causing the infighting that stopped your clans from seeing the truth, and stopped you from remembering or seeing that you had an older brother. None of you can challenge me, although I invite you try. I desire to see your elemental spears in action, to learn their power and how to use them properly. Please, siblings, try me.

Voidstar: You're mad...!! No wonder Ka exiled you!!

Nihlus: Ka? Exile? You are wrong. I was the first of you, the one existent first, as Chaos is with the Chaos Beasts. I was not created, I EXISTED, as did they. Ka may have created you, but NOBODY created me. That is why all of your powers are barely a drop within mine - I am a GOD, you are mere beasts, no better than your genetic spawn. I, too, have beasts at my command, and even my ascot, my alternate side as it were, on my side. Slowly, the Chaos Beasts shall join you in prison, then each of the Nega Beasts, Sol Beasts, and even the entire army of Anarchy Creatures, to prove that I truly am the Ultimate Power within the multiverse, because your "Creator" cannot interfere with the events of the Multiverse, only his own "Realm". Now, doesn't that make you mad. Come on, take it out. Attack me. Fiamme, the hothead of the group, come on, strike me down with that spear of yours, and prove me wrong.

[Fiamme snarls.]

Fiamme: And so I shall!!

''[A large spear of molten rock and fire manifests in her hands. She hurls it with both hands, roaring. It flies like a dart at Nihlus, only for him to catch it with both hands, the spear vanishing in a flash of light.]''

Nihlus: Is that it? I'm disappointed. Maybe if you all attack at once...

Voidstar: Yes. All together now, my brothers and sisters...!

''[All ten manifest their respective spear attacks and hurl them at Nihlus, all at the same time. Within Nihlus's hands appeared A ripple of energy, a mirage-like sword that he used to destroy some of the spears, the others vanishing on contact with him with mirage-like ripples where they struck.]''

Nihlus: Well, too bad. I didn't expect you to give up so easily, but that was your strongest? Your signature? No wonder you came here unprepared for your convocation, purely because I drew you here. You are nothing to my power.

Kyanos: It did nothing...?!

Nihlus: Surprised? It is as I said: I am a god, you are mere beasts in my image.

Celeritas: You are no god; you are a devil!

[Nihlus simply raises an eyebrow, before laughing at the comment]

Nihlus: Actually, I am neither. I am the Master Elemental Beast, and you all represent the Lesser Beasts. Like the Chaos Beasts have their emeralds, I shall decide on a prison for you...with my aspect's help.

''[A black silhouette appears in the mist. They all turn to look at it as it takes on a form similar to Nihlus, but in the form of a giant, uber-haired recolor. He laughs as Nihlus sweeps his hand dramatically.]''

Nihlus: As a God, I have aspects, Gods based on myself that are essentially me with an altered personality and abilities. Presenting my aspect known as Evilagram, God of the Trolls!

All: !!

Evil: Yea, that's right, pathetic fools. Now, the true Elemental God and I have buisness, so be good prisoners, and the mist won't cause you more pain than needed.

Nihlus: The mist is part of my powers. It dampens your powers when I want it to, and restricts you movements too...like now.

Neso: You won't get away with this...!!

Nihlus: And whom shall stop me? You? Chaos and his band of beasts? Chrono? That alien Vitiosis? Trollus, who Evil can control? The Ring beasts? I doubt it. I have taken steps to prevent any of them getting involved.

''[None of them can think of an argument. Nihlus smirks.]''

Nihlus: You see? I am not afraid of you. Goodbye for now, my siblings. [Nihlus strides out, while Evil seems to fade]

Part 1
In the Red Mountain Zone, Drakath the Lion, the leader of the Fire Clan, could be seen looking out towards the valley. The second-in-command, Enshoku the Wolf, was standing next to him.

"....sir?" she asked, looking towards him. The lion was silent at first.

"....do you sense that, Enshoku?" he finally said. "That change in the air?"

"Change?"

The lion nodded, his brow furrowed in worry.

"Something is wrong...very wrong..."

The wolf, Enshoku, said nothing.

In the Southern Tundra, Tunndrae the Fox, the Ice Clan's leader, was walking around, as if trying to find something. She looked troubled.

"This isn't right," she mumbled to herself. "Why can't I sense Kyanos' presence?"

She leaned against a tree, sighing.

On a secluded island (and Johnny's residence), miles from Station Square, Johnny is simply standing onto the sandy terrain, the waves gently crashing along. He looked up at the blue skies, feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Hmm... why do I feel concerned? Didn't felt like driving, and sleeping made me wonder about... something... but what...?" He lowered his head a bit with deep thought, his arms crossed around his chest.

Pt. 2: "War of Hope Tower"
At Hope Tower, where the Light Clan resides, life seemed to be going on normally; however, the mysterious loss of contact with Celeritas had everyone worried and on edge. A white ferret with gray hair and facial mask, with a short sword held loosely in one hand, was sitting on one of the Tower's balconies, leaning against the guard-rail and watching the sunset with an impassive expression on his face.

However, something on the ground caught his eye. Leaning forward and squinting, he saw a white tiger with silver stripes and black hair running towards the Tower.

"Amani!" he called out, silently hoping that she wasn't bearing bad news.

"It's bad news, Llachar; Trolls were found in the forest!"

The ferret frowned; this day seemed to be getting worse.

"That is not what I wanted to hear," he mumbled, rubbing his left temple. He called back down to the scout.

"I'll inform the Chief!"

A few minutes later, the ferret was running through the halls, trying to find Luminore, the Clan Leader. The report of Trolls in the forest were making him recall a disastrous event that happened a year ago; one that just so happened to involve Trolls... * * * In the forest, Tantrum the Fox was already dead on the ground, a crossbow bolt sticking out of his left eye. Nightshade, Biggie, Chet and Ozone were trying to find the killer, but were unaware that she had already left the scene.

"Ugh, where is he or she?!"

Nightshade slammed his fist against a tree in frustration.

"How can it be so hard to find one piddly little scout?!"

"That's how they roll, Nighty," said Chet, smirking. "By sneaking around in the bushes and striking when you least expect it."

"Damn cowards," he growled. He was unaware that he and his comrades weren't exactly alone in the forest...

"Keep moving; we'll find the culprit eventually."

The Trolls eventually left. After that, a voice spoke;

"You think they're going towards the Tower?"

Five shapes suddenly materialized in the trees, having been hidden by Holy Cloaks. A male viscacha silently climbed down from his perch, soon followed by the others.

"I'd bet my life on it," he said, looking at a male kinkajou; the one who had asked the question.

"Apparently doing away with Lady Ilia wasn't enough for them, the cowards..."

"Aye..." * * * Back at the Tower, Llachar had finally found the Clan Leader, Luminore, meditating under the shrine of Celeritas. The hare opened one keen eye and gazed at the ferret as he approached.

"Llachar. You seem troubled."

"Sir, it's the Trolls," Llachar panted.

"They're in the forest...!"

Luminore blinked and slowly stood up, a deep concern etched on his face.

"This is troubling indeed," he murmured, turning to look at the shrine behind him.

"First Celeritas goes missing, and now those Trolls reappear..."

He turned back towards the ferret.

"We need to inform everyone. Get the civilians to safety; I'll rally the soldiers."

"Yes sir."

As Llachar left to perform his given task, Luminore once again turned towards the shrine and picked something up off of it; an ornate longbow. Shouldering the quiver sitting next to the bow, he left the shrine room to gather the soldiers. * * * Luminore, Llachar and the soldiers were now standing in front of the Tower. Archers were posted on the balconies, their weapons at the ready. But the forest in front of the Tower was suspiciously quiet.

"I don't like this," a male weasel muttered, shifting slightly on his feet.

What seemed to be loud metallic footsteps from several sources began to be heard coming from the forest. Luminore's keen ears perked up at this, and he held up a hand, signalling to the archers.

"It sounds like some kind of...robot," the weasel mumbled. Llachar frowned.

"If they are robots...they're probably from G.U.N. Or that fat guy, What's-His-Name."

"Eggman?"

"Yeah, that guy."

The noises had grown in volume and frequency, meaning that whatever was coming, it was getting close.

The archers had readied their arrows now, while the soldiers took defensive stances. Luminore peered out towards the forest, where the sound was coming from.

"........."

Suddenly, the noise stops, and out of the forest comes a single hooded figure, quietly chuckling to itself.

All eyes focused on the hooded figure slowly approaching them.

"You there! Who are you?" Luminore called out to the figure.

The person had said nothing, but merely chuckled to itself.

"Answer me!" Luminore barked.

The person had swung his arm to the side, and a single machine (designed with a bulky middle, a tripodal lower half, a large device resembling a shield on one arm, and the other with a simple laser gun) had leaped out of the forest and landed in front of the person.

Luminore's eyes widened in shock, and he pulled an arrow from his quiver. His observant eyes quickly scanned the machine; he didn't know what it was fully capable of, but he guessed that it could fire lasers and block things. Was its lower half a weak point, perhaps?

At first, the machine only glared at it's opposition, then quickly took aim at one of the archers, firing a quick laser that would cause minor damage and would stun him if it hit. While that happened, the hooded figure had slowly retreated back into the forest as the noises could be heard again.

The archer let out a grunt as the laser hit him point-blank and sent him sprawling backwards, stunned. As this, Luminore loosed his arrow at the robot, aiming for lower half.

The arrow had struck one of the machines legs, while about two more identical copies (though these ones only have two legs) had charged out of the forest and ahead of it, with the injured one changing tactics, now only firing instead of following.

The archers on the balcony (save for the guy who got stunned) started shooting arrows at the two robotic creatures now charging the tower.

The mechanical soldiers would block their shots using their shield appendage while the injured one continued to fire in the archers direction, and more rumbling could be heard from the forest.

The Light Arrows were designed to have great piercing capabilities; there were quite a few of them sticking out of the robots' shields as of now. Then, a male fanaloka stepped out from behind the archers, and hurled something down towards the robots. When it hit, it released a large fog, designed to oxidize anything metal.

The machine's had stopped, and their armor had slowly started to rust due to the oxidizing fog. They then aim their shield arms upwards, which would then detach from their main body, the shield splits on the front half (now resembling claws) and begin to fly upwards, with both sets of arms from the machines connected like a worm. The parts would then soar over where the archers were perched, and the arms would drop, to where insectoid-like legs would sprout from their sides, then begin to attack the archers.

The shield-flyers would begin to circle the area that the archers were perched, and drop several tiny smoke bombs to make it more difficult to attack the larvae-arms while the soldiers would continue to charge at the walls further below, now faster due to less mass being carried.

"What the-?!"

"Dammit! Switch to Elemental attacks! Don't let them inside!!"

The archers were firing off Light Cannons and throwing Holy Fists at the larva-like robots, but the smoke was making it hard for them to see their targets. Far below them, most of the soldiers and Battle Mages had approached the charging robots, with Luminore leading them. The hare fired another arrow at the attackers.

The arrow had pierced through a leg of one of the charging machines, causing it to stop, with the momentum of the charge tossing it in the direction of a few soldiers, possibly causing massive damage if colliding. The tripodal machine continued to fire stun-lasers from its position, though it's target was changed so that it fires on the enemy soldiers/mages.

Back on top of the wall, one of the Larvae-arms had leaped towards an archer through the smoke, preparing to clamp down hard and constrict him.


 * (Blah, I kinda had writer's block, sorry D: - Ryu)

Everyone in the path of the sliding machine quickly got out of the way so that they wouldn't get crushed by it. Now that it was down, the mages began to fire ranged attacks at it, trying to avoid its blasts as well.

Up on the balcony, the Larvae-arm had managed to jump onto a hapless archer, causing her to panic and try to pry it off.

"GAH!! GET OFF!!" she cried.

The Larvae-arm, struggling to stay on, begins to bite down on her head.

She let out a cry of pain and clawed desperately at it, while two other archers noticed her and rushed to her aid.

"D-Dammit!! What the hell even is this thing?!"

The larvae-arm ends up breaking off from the female archer, and is flung into the small village below.

The other Larvae arm had lunged at one of the other archers from behind, this one attempting to constrict him.

"Gah!!"

He grabbed at the Larvae trying to constrict his neck, and attempted to pry it off.

This Larvae-Arm seemed to be more capable, and showed no signs of weakness while being pulled off. It then dug it's pincers into the archers neck, and seems to begin forcefully trying to take control of his body.

In the city, the fallen Larvae-arm was in pieces, though the various orbs that made up it's body seemed to still be active and moving apart, scattering itself for unknown reasons.

As everybody was inside their homes due to the invasion, nobody noticed the Larvae-arm bits scatter themselves. * * * Back below, the Tank-Beetle had begun to charge at the opposition from one side, as the Kiwi-Walkers would slowly surround them from all other sides excluding that of the wall itself.

The tripodal machine had regained slight mobility, and slowly walked towards the solders/mages as both an attack and a distraction, all while continuously firing it's stun-blasts at the enemies.

"They're surrounding us...!"

Luminore looked over at one of the Kiwi-Walkers and shot an arrow at it. A male horse and a female meerkat turned towards the Tank-Beetle, preparing to confront it; as knights, they were a fair bit tankier than their comrades.

The Kiwi-Walkers, due to their thinner design, could easily move through the attacks with minor damages. A few had stayed back behind various felled soldier-machines, had reconfigured themselves so that their heads/long beaks now resemble a catapult that launches small fire bombs, while the others charged ahead. The Tank-Beetle would only increase in speed towards the soldiers, charging head on.

As the Tank-Beetle charged, the horse and meerkat charged to greet it, weapons drawn. The horse held his quarter-staff out in front of him, a bit like a battering ram; he intended on ramming the machine with it. The fire bombs, however, caused those in the back line to scatter.

The tripodal machine would regain more mobility, allowing it to move within range of the horse, allowing it to more easily fire at him and divert his attention from the tank-beetle. While this occurred, one Kiwi-Walker would reach the wall, shifted itself so that the legs could firmly grasp the wall, and begin to slowly climb, all while dropping more bombs on the ground below.

With the tripodal machine firing at the horse, he was forced to turn his attention to it; the meerkat, however, went after the Tank Beetle, looking for any weak points in its armor to stab with her sword.

The Tank-Beetle turned it's attention to the horse, charging at him while he was distracted with the tripod. It seemed that the only openings in the beetle's armor were around it's tank-treads and around the back.

As the Tank-Beetle flew past the meerkat, she saw its back, and, noticing the openings in its armor, went after it. She tried to leap onto its back in order to stab at the openings.

Once she landed, the beetle would begin to swerve side-to-side in order to try and make the meerkat fall off. A shield-arm would fly slightly overhead, unleashing two small, arm-like appendages to try pulling the meerkat off.

She hung on desperately, swinging and stabbing her blade at the exposed area of the Tank-Beetle's back the best she could. When the shield-arm grabbed at her with its arms, she focused her blade on them, trying to cut through the arms. The horse, meanwhile, was busy trying to deal with the tripod. * * * Meanwhile, a shark from the bottom of the tower rises, the shark named...razor. with his venomous bite, razor breaks in the tower and uses his shark gauntlet to hit any useless stuff so he can get what he needs. His vengeance!

"Fight me face to face! I'm a trained Warrior!"


 * (....okaaay, then.)

"Who goes there?!" a voice called out, having heard the sound of things breaking.

"you can call me [the shark region captain] but the name is Razor (throws glass of tower)

Someone then comes down the stairs; it seems to be a Light Clan civilian carrying a lantern, and apparently Razor had broken into a storage room of sorts.

"H-How did you get in here?!" the civilian cried, holding his lantern aloft.

"I have my ways,now we need to stop the wars!" Razor screeched having his shark sword in his hand

"Wh-What wars?? The only war right now is the one outside, with all those robots attacking!" the civilian said, backing up slightly as Razor pulled out his sword.

Part 3
At the Golden Cove, the location of the Water Clan of Neso, a female dunnart is looking out towards the sea that the Cove is near. She sighs a bit and puts one hand to her cheek, as if in thought.

Close by, footsteps were heard. Boots hitting against the ground, a wolf was approaching, fiddling with a card in his hand. Adjusting his hat his gaze met the dunnart, with a hint of concern and interest.

Hearing the footfalls, her ears perked up, and she turned towards the stranger, startled.

"Uhh-! Wh-Who are you?" she asked, turning towards him.

The wolf calmly places away his card, before addressing himself to her.

"Fatemaker," he calmly spoke to her, "I'm just a drifting gambler. You?" Fatemaker soon gave off a small grin, slowly moving closer to the dunnart.

"Fatemaker? That's an interesting name." The dunnart smiled a bit, holding out her hand for the wolf to shake.

"I'm Sulama. I live here, as a part of the Water Clan of Neso."
