*Back in the Expanse of the Void, Outer Space in the Colored Mythos, The two girls Caul and Kala docked there much smaller spaceship in the Red Grands Hanger.*
You since that power, Caul? A-Are we-?
*Kala stuttered as the two suffer a headache from the 3 powers they felt. They feel how much more powerful Scarlet and Ezekiel are-! Then they feel Solomon's power-! Even at weaken state after being killed by Sapphire-! Solomon's power is still so bottomless and infinite when at this weakened state!*
Urg-! Are we sure about this, Caul? Can we really trust these people?
*Kala asked ounce more.*
*Caul would usually jump for an opportunity to fight someone so powerful but she learned the hard way of picking a fight that doesn't need to happen or one that she can't win.*
For now, let's just see if they know the way towards, Fable, K?
Alright, Caul.
*They then opened the door to there ship and saw Scarlet, Plague, Solomon and Kivaara waiting for them. Caul and Kala we're expecting some of them to look more intimidating with all the power they sensed…But other then Ezekiel who's a flaming plague doctor robot and Of course Solomon, Scarlet and Kivaara looked like normal people.*
*Scarlet could sense a familiar Exousia on the two girls and they could sense the same thing on them. An Exousia of warm violet petals.*
Hey, you don't happen to know, Sapphire, do you?
*Scarlet and Caul asked each other at the same time, the two reeled back in shock as they're assumptions were proven correct! Caul and Kala reservations to trust these strangers immediately fading as they're moods brighten up.*
You do! You do know, Sapphire! Aw, man, Kala this is awesome!
*An hour later they were talking away in the ships lounge.*
So how did you meet, Selestine? *Scarlet asked them.*
He saved us.
*Kala informed them. They tell Scarlet and the group how they're planet and it's people were getting overwhelmed by the Kraks. The Mon Sage get stronger the longer they fight like all life does on Fable. But so do the Kraks, and there regeneration and pain insane pain tolerance made them hard to put down!*
*They also have there own version of Exousia, which the Kraks called, Layer. The best way to put down the Kraks is annihilate them to a subatomic level! The war against them was beyond brutal. Caul and Kala are now strangers to fighting being a part of a warrior race but those things… They were just brutal.*
*The Kraks exist only for fighting and war. They revel in bloodshed unlike the Mon Sage all though they do love fighting they don't just exist for it. Other then being warriors The Mon Sage are excellent farmers, some are spiritualist, adventurers, community driven and indulge in other hobbies.*
*Caul remembers waking up covered in bruises, cuts, and in her own blood face buried in the ground beneath her. The chaotic battle field around her sounded muffled as her ears were ringing from shock. She tries to get up, try's her best to fight against the pain of her wounds.*
*She uncontrollably coughs out a bit of her own blood from her mouth.*
Aye, Ladz! This little prickly still alive!
*Said a malicious and very deep voice followed by its laughter. Caul, nows exactly what that is-! One of the Kraks! She gathers what strength she has left, turns and fires a devastating blast at it! Destroying several skyscraper size buildings behind it!*
*But as the dust settled her eyes open wide in fear and shock as she sees it's horrid and hulking silhouette still standing!*
Still have some fight in ya, Prickly!? HAHAHA, what fun!
*The Krak said as he stomps over to her. Caul screams out, kicks against it weakly but it was a vain struggle as it grabs and her raises up!*
Let-! F-Fucking go of me, you fucking insane freak!
*Caul snarls defiantly out as she punches down on its massive shroom like arm to little and no affect.*
Oy, why would I let go when I'm having so much fun!? We haven't gotten to the best part yet!
*Its arm then goes to grab and pin her legs together, while the other goes to garb hold of her head. Caul screams out in agonizing pain as it slowly starts to rip her in half!*
Feel that, Prickly!? Feel that tiny thing that you all call a spine breaking!? Feel your skin start to rip and tear!? Oh, bathing in your blood will be-! Grand!!!
*It laughs out! Caul could feel it! It hurts-! He She feel everything inside of her starting to tear! It hurts! Her unbreakable fighting spirit slowly starting break as she screams even louder! Hoping beyond hope that someone will save her!*
AAAA-! AAAAGGH-!
CAUL! *Kala calls out to her as she rockets to her in hopes to save her sister. She lets out a war cry as she tackles the Krak With enough force to let her go!*
Haha! I was hoping there was more of ya! I wouldn't want the fun to end just yet! GROG!
*The Kraks lets out it's peoples shared war cry as it charges at Kala. She puts up a valiant effort but-! She feels herself loose control-! No-! Now is The perfect time for the monster inside of her to come out! Kala was sent flying into a building that collapsed right on top of her-!*
Come on-! Come on out-! Right here-! I'm right here! AKURYO!
*Kala scream out to the top of her lungs as she erupts in this dark green like energy that destroyed the building on top of her!*
Fucking finally, she called me.
*A voice said inside her head as she walks out of the rubble. She was 3 times her original size but Kala almost the same size as the Krak. She is wearing this bone like monkey mask with glowing green horns. Her black spiky hair now spiked up further and glowing green.*
I love the look of this! GROG!!!*Roared out the Kraks war cry and Kala followed with a war cry of her own as they tackled into each other sending shockwaves across the devastated city!*
*Caul and Kala are a Mystical Feral warrior race with monkey like tails and they always have some sort of spikey black hair. The two girls explode in orange colored lightning as they triggered there transformations! They're own version of evolution! Called, Inazuma Sage.*
*They're black hair spikes up even further and change to a dark orange hew along with the color of there tails. Well only Cauls hair is that color, Kala is different. Kala is more green.*
*She is special amongst the Mon Sage, she is apparently what her people called the Oni Mon sage. A much more powerful variant born of maddening rage and bloodlust.*
*Kala impales the Krak with her fist, laughing sadistically as its brownish blood sprays on the ground.*
It's been ages since she last let me out! I'm gonna have fun mutilating you, Freak!
*Kala said with a wide grin of gleeful blood lust! No, it's not exactly Kala. Akuryo is her separate persona, basically a different personality that exist with Kala due to being the Oni Mon Sage.*
*Akuryo punches through the Krak body over and over again with feral like ferocity! But her hands get stuck inside the Krak as its wounds heal at and accelerated pace! Akuryo growls irritatingly.*
Hahaha, sorry, Prickly but you aren't gonna scare me by hurting me a lot! We live for this! The pain, the blood, we take the good and the bad! That's what it means to GROG!
*GROG is the Kraks own definition to wage war and fight.*
Still gonna erase you! You sack of Fungal Shit!
*Akuryo stated as she blast him open from the inside out with a blast of Dark Green Exousia! Sending the Krak grinding backward on its boots! But even it's torso was 60 percent blasted off, it regenerated like nothing had happen! So Akuryo, made an orb of light manifest between her two horns.*
Regenerate from this! Grand Zero!
*Akuryo then fires a beam dark green energy from between her horns that completely engulfs the Krak! A beam so devastating and massive that it can be seen shooting out of the planet!*
Shit, he's regenerating! Fucking Die already!!!
*Akuryo then roars out as she pours more of her power into the blast! Yet even with this blast potent enough to destroy a galaxy in the past, the Krak continues to power through it! It grab its weapon that was on it's back and raises it up like a banner!*
Conquer, Mann des Krieges!
*The Krak roars out as his weapon gathers energy and he explodes with enough force to over power her blast! Akuryo saw the silhouette of the Krak, it's antler like horns are even longer now, it's body even bulkier then before, he even has 6 arms now, each hand holding a weapon of its own!*
Not bad, Prickly. Not bad at all. Against you-! I can FINALLY GO ALL OUT!!!
*The Krak laughs out as he scatters the residue of Akuryo Grand Zero blast, revealing his monstrous new form in all its hulking glory! He sends out shock wave that spreads out from the ruin city! Shock wave that push Akuryo back on her feet!*
*Kraks are also capable of transformations, mostly the Grog Chieftains like this one! Akuryo seethes as she was genuinely trying to annihilate the Chieftain not let him power up even further! She pulses with her dark green energy, took a second to gather her strength and charged at the Chieftain ounce more!*
I kill you or die trying, freak!
*Akuryo said defiantly as he sent Krak flying upward to the skies with mighty uppercut punch straight to its jaw! But the Chieftain stopped its self mid air and rocket down back at her! It's grown so powerful that it can easily achieve faster then light flight!*
*She narrowly dodges all six of it's ludicrously shaped weapons, and is its arm closed in around her she blasted him! This time with point plank Grand Zero to its face! The blast ounce again Pearces beyond the planets atmosphere and solar system! But it's barely doing anything to him!*
Eat this form the inside out! ASSHOLE!
*Akuryo yells as she punches down on its skull
and this time fires the blast inside its brain and body! Yeah the Chieftain cackles out as it's claw clamps down on Kala!*
More! Give me more prickly!
*The Krak then sends Akuryo flying as he throws her off into the distance and quickly chases after her! She deflects must of his attacks away yet she couldn't parry everything as he run her through by the stomach with his claw!*
*She defiantly grits her bloody teeth and endures the pain! Akuryo then punches down on the claw chipping it and fights with the corroded metal stuck inside her gut!*
S-Shut the hell up-!!! Shut the fuck up and Die!
*Akuryo then punches down on his face sending him crashing back in the ground and then she buried him to the pavement with another one! With another punch this time charged with a ball of black and green energy she drills down to the ground using his body!*
(I-I'll protect her! Kala and Cala are both freaking helpless with out me! Helpless freaking weaklings!)
*Akuryo said bitterly to herself, both literally and metaphorically. She and the Chieftain crash then into a massive underground cavern that contains ancient ruins of the ancient Mon Sage! The chieftain turned the tables on her grind her body down at a massive pillar!*
*With his 3 arm that is equipped with massive energy cannon he bombards her with point blank blast! His laughter never ceasing!*
*Akuryo with a fierce grabs on to his arm and quickly slammed him against the pillar! The Chieftain quickly recovers as grapples on to a wall, rockets off of it and back to Akuryo! On they go trading blows after blows!*
(I need more power! Caul, needs help! Gotta kill this freak fast before it's too late!)
*Akuryo thinks to herself as she punches down the Chieftain on a wall, bombards him with energy and then transform into a the next phase of the Legendary Inazuma Sage form! She howls out as she grows green monkey like fur on her forearms, and her hair gets a bit more spiky and longer! Her mask gets even more imposing and detailed!*
*She blast ground with a giant blast of energy, splitting it apart and forming a giant crack as the Chieftain falls in it! She quickly flys down after him. Meanwhile back on the surface Caul was trying to herself conscious from all the internal bleeding and bone fractures she's going through.*
You-! Your gonna be fine-! Ah, fuck. Fuck, fuck fuck-! Calm down, Caul! Calm down! You are not gonna die! Happy thoughts! Happy-!
*Caul tries to reassure herself, trying to steady her breathing slowly and slowly but then she hears footsteps. Caul, grits her teeth and steels herself for the worst. Yet she slowly drifts to unconsciousness from the pain.*
Who-? Who's t-there? Huh… Nice cape…
*The person clad in white and a brilliant blue cape flowing with violet petals then knelt down to her.*
Thank you, but save your strength. You'll be fine, I Guarantee It.
*Sapphire vowed as the Astera super soldier's secure the area and route the Kraks that were still in the area. He healed with her with his Exousia Meanwhile back deep underground Akuryo, swings down her fast at the Kraks face sending it flying down. Then she channels her power through the earth around them!*
*With her Exousia she took control of it and crushed the Krak between the earth! But the Krak using its titanic strength pushed the walls the crushed back open as he almost split the planet apart! The Chieftain spirals it's body back up to Akuryo and swings its limbs down at her!*
*She barely evaded gaining another gruesome this time wound on her leg! She bleeds out profusely as It was split open from the foot to her knee! Akuryo barely had enough time to curse herself or cry out in pain before the Chieftain slams her body down on the ground!*
*With last bit of her strength and what little defiance she has left she blast the Krak off her! She places a hand on her leg and screams out in last time! The Krak chuckles as he slowly approaches her.*
It's been fun, Prickly. I'll make sure to remember you as I conquer the rest of this Galaxy!
F-Fuck you-!
*Akuryo then blast the Krak a few more dozen times but it barely phases him anymore as the fatigue of this battle and her wounds are starting to set in!*
(Sorry, you two-! I couldn't protect you both-!)
Give a rest already, Prickly.
*The Krak said with a chuckle as he picks up Akuryo with one of his hands. He then readies his chainsaw axe to end her.*
I'll at least tell ye my name before I kill you. Gorg Chieftain, Kreed! A pleasure to have fight ye! How about ye tell me your name!?
*But Akuryo lefts her mask up to spit on him.*
Green Prickly it is then.
*With a grin on his face he swung his axe-! Until his two arms were cut clean off and were reduced to nothing as they burned with blue flames-! The Krak reels in pain as it's arm reach out to where his missing two were!*
Gaaaagg-! FIRE-!?
*The Kraks weakness is Fire. Exousia doesn't do much against them cause it is just force and energy. The Mon Sage can only use the Exousia to fire energy blast and nothing else so the Kraks were not the ideal opponents for them.*
*The one that saved Akuryo from certain death was none other then Sapphire himself as he gently laid her massive body on the ground. For her at was like she looking at a sun, a blue sun when she first sees, Sapphire. He already had Violet Solstice in hand.*
Lay down, I'll take care of him. It will be over quick.
*Sapphire reassured her as he turns back to Kreed. The Kraks eyes were pretty much burning at the sight of Sapphire! Sapphire braces an attack meant to completely erase Kreed. He always known the threat of the Kraks, since he was a child he was taught knows that they can't be reasoned with in anyway.*
So-! Shiny-!
Absolstice-!
*Sapphire braces a swing of his scythe. Gathering his power as he made the temperature a thousand times hotter for the Kraks-!*
I burn down so easily, Shiny!
*With a battle hungry Grin on his, Kreed prepares his own greatest attack! His four remaining arms gathering and glowing with energy!*
Endgültige Vernichtung!
*Kreed yells out as 6 energy pillars rise up, combine as one and envelop Sapphire-! But Sapphire made the powerful blast disperse by transforming in his Ascension form and swung at Kreed!*
SELESTINE!
*Like what he did before he light this solar system up with blue flames-! When the flames faded Sapphire emerged triumphant, we separated Avalon and Caliburn and made them dematerialized.*
*Akuryo looked on completely baffled yet she's not complaining. The only that matters is that the freak is dead and Kala will be Safe. This guy with the cape might be more powerful then the Krak, but she knows a good guy when she sees it.*
*Yet…*
Why? Why does he look so sad?
*Both of Kala and Akuryo wondered. In his eyes they could see nothing but deep deep melancholic sadness and pain as they're completely devoid of life. As he looked he tried to smile but… There is no strength in it? There is warmth and compassion in it of course, yet…*
*It as if something beyond horrible happened to him before all this. Days past and a memorial service was held on the planet. To mourn all the Mon Sage that died during the Kraks invasion.*
*Fatalities estimated 2 million world wide, average by Fables standards numbers for the Mon Sage number by 55 million.*
*Caul and Kala can't deny that the invasion didn't change or heavily traumatized him. They're families managed to someone survived yet still so many people died. For Sapphire… He saw this as yet another failure due to the loose of life and the fact that he's recovering after the horrid events in the other Side of Fable.*
*He bonded with Caul and Kala but not by much as he left for home. No, at the "not by much" would be far generous to say. After loosing everyone he knew Sapphire couldn't possibly bring himself to open up to new people in his life. He would always keep his distance from them.*
*For Caul it annoyed her a bit when ever she tried to make small talk with him only for Sapphire snivel his way out of it. For Kala it concerned her when ever he demanded to be left alone. Yet they both never gave up on him. They came all the way here for Sapphire in hopes to help him. To try again.*
*To the present.*
Is Sapphire, ok?
*Kala asked both Scarlet and Ezekiel and they nod yes in response.*
Dudes doing much better these days, he's slowly going back to his old self.
Old Self, huh? Man what was he like back then? He was always so depressed with us.
*Caul wondered.*
Charismatic, bright, passionate yet gentle, great sense of humor.
*Scarlet explained with a soft smile and then Ezekiel pitched in.*
And absolutely FUCKING dense too!
*Ezekiel said with an upbeat and joking tone.*
He's 13, Buddy.
And we're both 15, Scarlet.
I… I don't see how that's relevant but uh, Ok Ezekiel.
Um… Me and Caul are both 13.
*Kala said.*
Huh, Neat. Anyway we'll get you to Fable like you want. But you both gotta put some work in, Fables gravity well absolutely murder you both. Our ships got a Gravity training regimen that we'll get you both ready.
Training!? Count us in! We're planning train in our own ship after all!
*Caul said, her black eyes gleaming with excitement of the prospect of training. Kala nods with a little less enthusiasm than Caul but she's still looking forward to it. Meanwhile in Zodiac Blood territory we will see what Fafnir and Cleo has been up to in the next chapter, Zodiac Oath.*
