The Spirit World

Zac nodded and opened his Bible again, "Strap on the Shield of Faith" Zac said, and yet again the shield appeared, strapped around his left arm. He looked at the cyborg with a smile, "The Bible is God's word, it is power of its own, but I never in my life though it could summon a sword and shield before me!"

Zac took a look at the sword and shield, admiring his newfound abilities. "So... What is an exorcist? Do they take down things like that guy with the scythe?"

 

Kiran thought it was his turn to answer and walked over to Zac. "Yes, it is our calling to destroy him and the other Rogue Souls. They are spirits who escaped from the Spirit World and have haunted our galaxy since. It's unknown currently why we particularly were given the powers to defeat The Rogue Souls, but it's up to us to save the Earth. Think you're up to it?" he questioned.

-----

Aeron nodded at the other Rogue and glanced in the direction of the Exorcists with a look of disgust, which was veiled by his hood. "Goodbye, Exorcists." he muttered to himself. "I'll see you tomorrow." He faded to nothing, preparing for the next day.

 

Zac looked at his Bible, then at his weapons. He then looked at the other exorcists, and then the boy nodded,"I am," he said, "Do we even have a base though?" Zac asked as withdrew his weapons, or in this case, made them disappear. This was all very new and fast. But he figured that this was God's plan for him. But first? He would need some training.

 

"A pleasure to meet you, Shuraito. My name is Kiran, and yes, we are all Exorcists." he greeted the angel, humbled. He noted that he was unable to study any of the Exorcist's weaknesses for some reason; he guessed that his scanning powers worked only on his enemies.
He turned to the other Exorcists, "It's getting rather late. Do either of you have anything to do before we go to base for the night?" he asked.

 

"A-an...an angel?!" Zac said as he became woosy looking like he was gonna faint. He stumbled a bit but got on his feat. "And heaven?! My brother! All of my dead family, are they there?!" Zac said becoming excited as nervous. He realized that and then calmed down, "I'm sorry bout that. So your an angel? And yea, turns out I'm an exorcist,"

 

Zac's eyes lightened up, a huge grin coming across his face as his held his bible to his heart. He was so happy. "Yes I would," Zac said changing to a more calm and collected look and tone, however inside, YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES!

 

"And I would too, if that's okay with you." Kiran answered. If it meant a chance for him to help get rid of the Rogue Souls, he'd do anything. Besides, there was someone he wanted to see there who he'd known for a long time.

 

Trixis wandered around. Not really going anywhere in particular. She had not known where to go particularly, so she found it best to just wander around until she could find something better to do. If she could find anything better to do in here spare time. She looked at the world with silver grey eyes and pulled her wavy black hair into a ponytail and continued to walk aimlessly.

Trixis wasn't a big fan when it came to other people. The only time she did go by other people was if she knew them, but that's still a fifty/fifty chance. If she really did know anybody here, she would have better things to do then just walk around like a total freak and loner person. But, she honestly didn't mind looking like a "loner" because most of her life she was put out into the outer circle of things. She didn't grow up with much friends or socila groups. Maybe that was why she was so anti-social. . . The only realy friend that she did have was probably her one friend Alix, but she had died. A long time ago. . .

 

As the fellow Rogue Soul dissipated into the shadows, Eckart sensed an incredibly powerful aura join the Exorcists.

"Good thing I got out of there when I did..." He grumbled to himself. Eckart went back to escaping, jumping from rooftop to rooftop, sometimes using his scythe to pole vault across larger gaps. Before long, he sensed the aura of yet another Rogue Soul. "Would you look at that," Eckart said, talking to himself again. "A handful of Exorcists, but two Rogue Souls as well. Maybe this will even out in the end... but how many more of us have come here, I wonder?" Eckart closed the distance between himself and the new Rogue Soul. As he peeked off of his current rooftop, he saw a stunning teenage girl. He jumped down from the darkened roof in front of her.

"Hey, Exorcists are close by," Eckart said as he landed. "You'd better get somewhere safe." He cared less about the girl's safety and more about using her as a potential ally; it was in his best interest that she didn't die any time soon. Eckart laughed internally. Die... as if we're not already dead, he thought.

 

Zac was next to climb the stairway to heaven. He had a smile on his face, he was ready to see his dead brother. He was really excited and nervous, heaven, it was the home of God and the angels, and the souls that accepted Christ into their hearts. This place heaven was a wonderful place, you would never get sick, never get injured at all. He was ready to see heaven.

 

Trixix jumped back a bit, taken aback by his sudden appearance. She was hesitant at first, in case he could be a sudden threat. Trixis relaxed a bit when we spoke of her safety. She quietly sighed, in relief that we hasn't a threat. At least not now. "Hmm, thanks for the warning then. I'll extract to somewhere hidden the shadows." Trixis walked past the mysterious person and hoped he wouldn't pull a weapon on her. It wasn't like Trixis to talk to people. She was quiet shy and distant.

Trixis stopped and slowly turned her head, looking at the person from the corner off her eye. Thanks. . . Again, for the warning." Trixis then turned her head forward and began to walk off into a darkened ally.

 

"Hmph," Eckart snorted. For a moment he thought of calling out to her and trying to get her to come with him; Eckart wanted to keep an eye on his new friend. However, he let the urge pass, and leaned against the wall of a building. The shadows around him began to warp. They crept closer to Eckart, onto his arms and legs, until finally his whole body was encased in shadows. Then he set to thinking.

Four Exorcists... one with great power, Eckart pondered. I shouldn't take the others lightly either. Excluding the boy with the bible, the aura of the other two Exorcist were nothing to laugh at. Eckart paused to laugh sarcastically; not too loud, he didn't want to draw any unnecessary attention. His demeanor reverted to one of seriousness as he continued. Then there are two more Rogue Souls... something big is going on here. I only know one thing for sure: those Exorcists were hostile. Which means... Eckart smiled. I should get those other Rogue Souls to fight with me.

The cloak of shadows slinked off of Eckart as he strode onto the sidewalk. Using his preferred mode of transportation, Eckart once again blasted himself onto a rooftop with Evil Kenesis. Before long he reached his destination: An abandoned temple in a neglected district of the city. Eckart walked inside. He had decorated the interior with the bones of several of his victims and used their blood to inscribe unholy symbols and scriptures on the walls.

Eckart sat in the middle of a ring of skulls and began to focus his mind. He reached out with his spirit, attempting to find the aura of the other two Rogue Souls; after about ten minutes or so he was able to sense both of them clearly. Thankfully, they were fairly close, making the process easier. Then, he began to send his aura out to them, or, more specifically, the shadows around them. In about fifteen minutes, the shadows around the two rogue souls would warp and direct them to the temple in which Eckart currently resides. He only hoped that they would heed the summons.

OOC: I know that last part is a little bit of a stretch, so if Azure (or any of you guys), feel like I overstepped the bounds of my Ability let me know and I'll edit.

 

Trixis felt a weird sensation run through her non existing veins. It sounded as if there were a million voices whispering around her, but her surroundings were silent. She began to walk, although she was not moving under free will. It was as if she was being taken somewhere. Trixis thought she was being taken hostage by that mysterious person, or perhaps someone much stronger. She thought of summoning either fire or ice to break free and attack whoever was behind this, but for k=now she decided to just with it. If she could catch this person off guard then it would make everything much more easier.

Trixis walked to a very tall tower like builiding. Very cryptic looking. Something you might have seen in a horror movie, but right now it was her reality. Her undead reality that is. She walked up a staircase into a room with bones and blood on the walls and floors. All at once she was able to take control of her movement again. Trixis took this oppurtunity to become very stealth like and get a view as to who or what had brought her here. She leaned back against a bare wall and looked around the corner. It was that mysterious character she had seen in the street just moments ago! He was sitting in the middle of a circle, surrounded by skulls. Trixis' eyes grew wide and she turned back around the corner. I bet you this is some evil person that wants to try and rid of me! Trixis thought. Even if he is bad, why is he telling me to watch out for the bad people? Was he warning me about himself? Trixis was about to walk out and forget about everything she had seen, as she turned to walk away, she tripped over a crack in the ground and fell to the stony floor. Damnit! Trixis thought. Why can't I ever leave a place in peace? My klutsy side always seems to get the best of me. . .

OOC: I don't know if you wanted my character to respond like this or not. I just tried to make the mood seem interesting. Feel free to tell me if I need to edit or change anything.

 

OOC: Your post is fine Kairi. I intended for the shadows to guide you in a less controlling way, like they would cause a shifting pattern in the direction you were supposed to go or something. I like how you described it though.

Eckart could feel as one of the auras approached. They drew closer and closer, until they were in front of the temple and Eckart's guiding shadows vanished. The aura came up the stairs and immediately hid behind a wall; it paused for a moment, then peeked out from the wall to look at Eckart; Eckart was, of course, staring back at her in this moment, but the bandages covering his face hid that fact. It was at that point that Eckart saw the aura belonged to the second Rogue Soul he had met. The girl whipped back around the corner and began to move away from him. This didn't go over so well; seconds after the girl started walking, she tripped and fell forward, creating a loud thump.

Eckart chuckled and put his hand forward. He gently used his Evil Kenesis to stand the girl up, placing her back on her feet.

"Hello, fellow spirit," Eckart said to the girl without moving from his sitting position. "Forgive me for not introducing myself earlier; you left so hurriedly. My name is Eckart Ravner, and I am a Rogue Soul, like yourself. I have directed you here to see if you would like to form an alliance," Eckart paused for a moment. "There should be another spirit joining us soon, if he took to my message as well as you did. Anyway, these are dire times for us; Exorcists roam the streets, looking to purge us from existence. They are powerful and greater in number than us; if we remain split up, they will pick us off without any problems," Eckart grinned under his bandages. "But, if we team up, we may stand a chance." Eckart stood up and put out his hand. "So, what do you say? Will you join me?"

 

Trixis was taken aback at first. Soon she softened and contemplated on how this was either a good or bad idea. She crossed her arim in a none threatening way and looked down while closing her eyes. Somebody just asked youto join them and you just met them? Is it a form of desperatality? Or did he seriously need help in this? October inaudibley sighed and looked up at the mysterious character now known as Eckart. "Sure, I could see how this works out." Trixis took Eckarts' hand to show that she was not a threat, but instead was willing to help him-and maybe even herself-out in this situation.

 

Aeron opened his eyes, waking abruptly from his slumber. Something felt wrong; as if the shadows were casting him out, pulling him out of his dwelling place. He could resist them, but still, he was curious as to what they would do if he let them move him. He placed his feet on the ground and let himself be dragged wherever the shadows wanted him.

He was being led to the abandoned district of the city, he gathered after fifteen minutes or so of walking. Whatever was guiding him was coming from somewhere in the district. Eventually, he could see the ancient temple that had supposedly been empty and dilapidated for years. He forced his feet to stop a few steps away from the temple and regained control of himself, before walking into the temple.

Inside were the mummified man who'd warned him and a ghostly girl. Fellow Rogue Spirits for sure.

"You called?" Aeron said to the man in the ring of skulls who had undoubtedly been the source of the shadows.
