//------------------------------// // Auryie and Void Death // Story: My Little Forumites are Magic // by Mx Story Anomalax //------------------------------// (Skip to the Author's Notes if the battle against Mana confuses you). Jordan was down for the count. He couldn't control himself - it felt like two sides of him were trying to take full control. He hadn't grown up with it and it hadn't yet become a multiple personality disorder. When Ying got up he noticed Gilda was gone, possibly for good. But he didn't know how or why. He looked over and saw Typo going to his past girlfriend, and then looked over and saw Applejack on the ground, Jordan tripping/flipping out, and Illusive going after Typo. Ying was fast. He was right next to Illusive in a matter of seconds. Illusive sensed it and started twisting around, bringing his axe up to behead the threat. Ying was aware of the danger this axe presented and ducked before stabbing upwards with his eraser sword into Illusive's chest, barely missing the heart. Ying cursed as a section of Illusive's body disappeared. He seemed shocked, but before Ying could bring the sword to the right and through Illusive's heart, he jumped back off the sword and started to bleed. He held his gut, furrowed his brow, and felt defeated. "This isn't the end!" Illusive screamed before vanishing. Ying hurried over to Jordan and tried to relax him, but couldn't. He left him and made his way to Applejack to make sure she wasn't hurt too bad. "I'm so, so sorry Typo. I never wanted this to happen." "It's not your fault." He felt tears touching his eyes, finally understanding what happened. "It's Gamarya's fault. He wanted to get to me." "I-I'm sorry Typo, but that isn't the only reason. He was j-jealous of you the entire time. H-he wanted me for himself." Typo grimaced and started to imagine horrible things. "It's okay now though, I can take care of you." "You can't... I belong to him... But I always loved you." Typo started crying. "No. No. Not again, please not again." He buried his face into Auryie's chest. "No, Typo, it's alright. Don't grieve. I want you to have your freedom back. The f-freedom that was taken from you. I may not be free, but you will b-be free." Typo cried harder. "No. I don't want freedom. I just want you." "I know you do. But that's not how this works." She tried to lift his head up. "I love you too, and I always have T-typo. It's time for y-you to start a new path..." She put a hand on the back of Typo's head, who's eyes were blurred with tears. "I don't want to say goodbye." "You don't have to. We will always be together in heart and mind." Auryie brought his head down and kissed him on the cheek. "H-how... About one more... For old time's sake?" Her brows shifted to the side. She felt and looked so sad, but she knew this was how it had to be. "B-but I'm so lonely. I don't want to let go." "I know you don't. But you won't be a-alone Typo. I-I'm giving you freedom from your past, and the ability to start a-anew..." Typo was sobbing. "I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you." "You don't... Need to apologize...." Typo leaned in and locked lips with Auryie as her body started to fade away. It lasted for a few seconds, their tongues dancing in unison until it was time to part ways. "I'll miss you." Auryie chuckled. "I told you... We'll be together... In heart and mind... Take my power Typo... And use it for the sake of others..." Auryie grabbed his hand as it glowed and grabbed the thief of muse's other hand. "Goodbye, Typo." Her body started falling apart; turning into flakey pieces that were taken away by the wind. Auryie's head glowed green as Typo cried, opening himself up to her. "No... No no no. I want you with me. Not just this..." "This is how it must be." Auryie closed her eyes, succumbing to her inevitable double death. "Well this way sucks-hic!" Typo said between gritted teeth. "I p-p-promise... Good will... Come from... This." Her head deteriorated as the power surged into Typo, who felt newness all over his body. He felt like there was another with him, but he couldn't quite reach it. A voice resounded in his mind, telling him not to worry and that she would always be there to protect him. Ying had some tears in his eyes. But Typo had taken it hard. He buried his face into the ground and started sobbing, feeling years of pain flow from his body. He felt like taking vengeance. Or to destroy everything. To become all powerful. But he looked inside himself, musing on it, and he took Auryie's soul and felt it comfort him. He would be faithful to her even in her death. He would move on. As much as it hurt. But he would always hold her above the rest. After a few minutes he got up, walked over to the ring blade, and captchalogued it. --- The Vark in the air was already dancing and singing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jgrCKhxE1s leaping from spot to spot like it was a ballerina dance. "Well doesn't that look familiar!" Mana said, catching Vark out of the corner of her eye. She backed up and Phynicxs closed in again. "Big mistake." Mana looked directly into Phynicxs eyes and his chest started to glow. He was unsure what was happening as he felt momentarily paralyzed. Mana dropped her sword, which disintegrated like squares of data falling away. The tendrils of blue-glowing silver started to slip back into her chest. Vark saw what was happening, not quite understanding it, and kicked and clawed, her pink energy nearly hitting Mana who twisted to the left, and rose as she started to fly, and stuck her hand deep into Phynicxs chest, who gasped. She pulled out what looked like a gun with a radar dish on the front, smiled, and fired it at Vark who took the blow. Vark felt like her body was reconfiguring itself, but at the same time she still felt the same as ever. Mana snorted at the illusion of Vark's new body, her own body glowing as she dived toward the ground, Phynixcs hot on her heels. The glow from the original Vark's body ceased and she felt good as new. Remembering what happened she hurried over to Twilight, who was already about to cast the time spell. Vark and Phynicxs disappeared into the past as Fluttershy hid behind Twilight. Mana threw the gun down toward the floor, reached her hand out, and pulled, a ton of purple spikes coming out of the ground and piercing the void. After a second it started to diffuse and fall apart, quickly deteriorating. Mana turned up, smiling at Phynicxs as he looked at his hands and body, being overcome with blue crystals. It hurt so much, like he was being pulled apart. The blue crystals surrounded him and then the crystals fell apart, falling to the floor. Pinkie Pie cried out, Twilight confused but putting two and two together quick. Pinkie Pie ran out, her emotions surging, and jumped in the air, spinning to buck Mana who grabbed her by the legs as her body glowed and started spinning her around. Mana let go, Pinkie Pie heading for a wall. Pinkie disappeared in a flash of green and reappeared close to Mana flying straight at her. Mana smirked and looked into Pinkie's eyes, whose chest started to glow as well. She pulled Pinkie's void out, noticing it was an extremely large streamer. Mana sighed as she turned, dodging Pinkie completely. "None of you are warriors." She twisted the streamer around, acting like a whip, and snapped it at Vark, pulling her down and punching her in the face, nearly knocking her out but causing her to see stars. Mana used Vark to slam Pinkie Pie away as she ran at her. Mana brought Vark and the streamer under her foot and was about to step on both to kill them. Vark had fear in her eyes as Mana reached out, barely paying attention, and pulled back, a bunch of purple spikes piercing through Pinkie Pie who screamed before disappearing. "NO!" Twilight shouted, using her telekinesis and moving Vark and the streamer out of the way, not entirely understanding but also not wanting to take a risk that she wasn't correct in her surmise. Right behind Mana Pinkie appeared, looking as angry as ever, and spun herself around and bucked Mana in the back who hadn't expected it, causing her to cry out, feeling something crack. Mana looked angrier than ever as she spun around, seeing Pinkie bleeding from the piercings, a little blood coming from her mouth and dripping to the floor. Mana also wasn't expecting when Twilight used her telekinesis to tear away Vark and the streamer from Mana's grasp. The streamer started to turn into glowing-blue silver tendrils which escaped and went back into Pinkie. Vark fell down and started getting her energy going again, noticing Smeareyes was sneaking up on Mana. Mana's body started to glow again, but before she could do anything Smeareyes had kicked her in the side and followed up with a spinning round house and ending with an aerial side kick, then jumped at Mana and vaulted off of her into the air, pulling out shuriken and throwing them at her. Mana screamed in fury as the sharp weapons hit her, causing her to bleed a little. She felt herself getting hyped up on emotions and was about to pull out her void again when Pinkie rushed her. Mana heard the sound and without paying attenion pulled purple spikes up from the ground, stopping Pinkie in her tracks but not stabbing her. The skin under Pinkie's pink coat was becoming pale as she bled more. Pinkie fell onto her side. Twilight was about to head for Pinkie when she noticed Phynicxs' destroyed blue crystals starting to glow with a rainbow light. She smiled as they started to reform. Mana was furious, having brought out the sword again and launching herself at Smeareyes who looked terrified for a moment before he brought his arms up. The woman in the cage was watching the intense battle, her emotions showing on her face. The destroyed crystals shook, and started slowly sliding to each other, the rainbow glow becoming more pronounced and significant the longer it took to bring Phynicxs back to life, the game's laws trying to recover his void. Mana tried to slice Smeareyes in half again but failed as Vark sent a kick of cuteness energy at Mana, who was thrown back. She gained control of herself again with her flight, and created another temporary blue glyph before launching off of it and coming at Smeareyes and Vark. Machine Whisperer's horn glowed as his wings buzzed, flying into the fray and reached into his private captchalogue deck and pulled out a small laser pistol, took aim, and fired it at Mana. Mana was taken by surprise and fell back as the energy hit her in the stomach, disintegrating skin and muscle, exposing some of her organs. It was a small hole, but enough of them would add up. Machine came in between Vark and Smeareyes and held the gun ready. Mana was furious, twisting as Vark sent a few more hits her way and focusing on the sword before swinging it, a large wave coming from it. Smeareyes and Vark went higher. Vark screamed as her left leg came off. Machine's wings were sliced clean off, who then fell from the air and landed in a broken heap on the ground, seething and hissing, almost crying, the emotion of sadness surprising him a little. Phynicxs pulled upon the blood on the floor and gathered it into a puddle. Mana was too focused on the others and was about to throw another wave their way, but Phynicxs brought his hands together and lifted them up. The blood rippled slightly, then a large spike came up out of it, getting bigger as the puddle grew smaller until all the blood was shaped into a spear that ran underneath Mana and right up into her brain, cutting her off. She convulsed once, and started to fall. Phynicxs fell to the ground, his energy spent, breathing hard. Phynicxs felt empty, like something had been taken from him. He felt so exhausted, most likely a result of how hard the game's mechanics had to work in order to bring him back to life. He still felt like the gears in the game that had brought him back were grinding to a halt, almost like this was the last time he could risk it before the game broke down for him completely. He cried out. Smeareyes coming down to him and lifting his best friend up. Mana fell in a heap as well, blood coming from her mouth and pouring out her wounds. Her jaw convulsed as she tried to make words. Vark cried on the ground, the pain immense. She tried to touch her leg, the phantom limb pulling at her sanity when she felt nothing there. The sensation was depressing. Twilight and Fluttershy went over to Vark first, trying to help her, but had no way of doing so. Twilight was starting to panic before Fluttershy tried to calm her, telling her nothing good would come of panic. The enemy was done. They had to do something to fix things up. Twilight yelled to Smeareyes, wanting him to help Pinkie. Smeareyes brought Phynicxs over to Pinkie. He laid his best friend down, who was breathing heavily. Phynicxs was having a hard time of this, but tried anyway, trying to clot the bloody wounds. The organs had to be clotted as well, and he did as good as he could before passing out, the back of his hand starting to glow as a symbol inlaid itself on the back of his hand. http://preview.tinyurl.com/kjc9xpf Machine Whisperer went over to Fluttershy and told her about Chrysalis, the weapon, and the girl in the cage. Vark returned to life because she was godtier (why else would she have such powers?) She did not die a heroic death or a just death. Then Phynicxs and Vark went back in time so that they could continue the battle where they had left off so that Mana would at the very least be distracted. Phynicxs never saw his death at Mana's hands and was thus more willing to go into the past and continue the timeline paradox. --- Typo felt like he was forgetting something. A fuzziness in his mind that wouldn't abate. He used his newly acquired mind powers to put Jordan in a temporary coma so they could carry him back to Rarity, who Ying was sure could help in this situation. And she had. Applejack wasn't up yet, but would wake up soon. "Oh dear Celestia what happened!?" Ying was the first to respond. "Jordan got hit with that axe. Applejack was knocked unconscious but she's okay and will wake up soon." Typo sighed and gave more detail. "We took out Auryie, all we need to do now is slow down the doom infestation in this area by destroying whatever's causing it. Since this is one of the main places, healing this area should help slow Gamarya down and give him less power." "Oh dear, you all sound like you've been busy - here give Jordan to me." Rarity brought her telekinesis up, while not as strong as Twilight's, she had learned control over it that rivaled the princesses. Floating Jordan over to her she immediately started searching his body, starting with his mind and this time she actually felt what was off. "That's strange, its like his personality has been cut in half." This caused Typo and Ying to look at each other. "So that's what was wrong with me?" Ying asked. "Yes dear, I'm pretty certain, but..." Rarity looked into herself, searching for what she had felt the first time, and started molding it like clay before bringing some out and and letting it seep into Jordan's soul. "I think he'll be okay soon, but where do you think the root is to this problem?" Typo brought his arms up to his chest and thought. "No doubt it's deeper in the forest, but it'll be hard to get there without Jordan's help, so we'll need to wait until he's awake." Ying protested that he could probably get them through safely, but Typo said even though normally the doom would probably affect Jordan the worst, Jordan was still the one with the sword and most used to the power of doom. No doubt his powers are based on that relationship. Ying thought about this and mentioned Jordan's powers in the fight with Gilda and how he seemed to reincarnate himself after potentially fatal hits. "Yes, that was most likely a result of his aspect's taint. He wields it like a pro though," Typo said, respect for Jordan in his voice. "We don't know what we'll find there, but he's our best bet."
