(Continuing straight from Part 7 of Group 1 with Pyre and Pyrus. For the other 4 players in Group 1, I will get back to y'all sometime but right now, I'm focusing on this story line.) Pyrus: *opens his eyes and realizes he had been sleeping for some time*. "Huh! Oh..... Dang I fell asleep." (Standing up from sitting on the floor, Pyrus looks to Pyre as she is still sleeping on the bed.) Pyrus: *slightly smiles*. "Don't want to disturb her, I guess I'll check things out a little further beyond by myself." (Walking over to the exit door of the room, Pyrus quietly pulls it open and steps outside, closing the door behind him. As he steps outside and the door is closed, a voice from an unknown area speaks out to Pyrus saying: "Welcome Pyrus to the Hall of Mirrors.") Pyrus: *quickly turns around after hearing the voice and takes notice of the room*. "Holy......" (Like the voice said, the entire area on the other side of the bedroom is a maze like hall of mirrors with tight corridors, open areas, and stairways made of mirrors leading up to different levels.) Pyrus: *draws his energy sword to keep it at the ready*. "Hmm, this'll be interesting." (As Pyrus takes a few steps forward, the walls within the hall of mirrors shift around and create new pathways and close off old ones.) Pyrus: *turns around to try and get back to Pyre*. "Fùck! I knew I should've woken her up...." ???: *menacing laugh somewhere in the area*. "Now you are trapped inside this maze, just you and me. To be honest I've had my eye on you and I must say, you are quite the specimen." Pyrus: "Huh?? Who's that?!" ???: "Allow me to properly introduce myself. I am Orion, the 5th strongest divine and hunter within the singularity." Pyrus: "Tsk, you're that guy that attacked Pyre and I before. What's stopping you now?" (Once again the maze walls shift after some time passes and Orion is revealed, standing just a few yards in front of Pyrus.) Orion: *lifts his glasses to reveal his purple moon like eyes*. "You have a gift Pyrus, a very special once in 10 thousand years kind of gift. Enigma has granted you his blessing, the moonlight blade and the sword of judgement are drawn to you. All you need to do is reach out." Pyrus: *lifts his energy sword to prepare for an attack*. "I don't believe you, all that you say is nonsense to me." Orion: *glances at Pyrus's sword*. "Are you trying to make me laugh?" (Increasing his own power level to insane amounts and causing a thick spiritual pressure to build up on Pyrus, the energy sword in Pyrus's hand shatters into millions of pieces.) Pyrus: *holds his hand in pain as the sword shatters*. "Agh! Crap...." Orion: *manifests his magical staff into his hands*. "My job is to kill you, but why should I eliminate such a rare creation?" Pyrus: "Heh.....you talk too much." (Quick drawing his pistols from his hips, Pyrus shoots at Orion's head with precise aim. Unfortunately, the pistols have done zero damage and did not make Orion flinch at all. Pointing his staff towards Pyrus, Orion unleashes a barrage of projectile tracking star beams that seek out and explode into Pyrus's body, destroying his guns and hurting him.) Pyrus: *coughs up blood*. "...." Orion: "Trust me, if I wanted it, you would be dead already." Pyrus: *shakes his head*. "Just kill me, I obviously can't do anything and I have no idea who Enigma is...." Orion: *approaches Pyrus and kneels down in front of him*. "That lady friend of yours, you seek to protect her at all costs. What do you think would happen to her if you should die?" Pyrus: *looks at Orion with an angry expression*. "Don't...." Orion: *hits Pyrus across the face with the butt of his staff*. "If she were here right now, you would be trying to actually kill me to protect her. But, what if I were to tell you that there is more to who both of you are?" Pyrus: *tries to lift himself up*. "Ugh, what now?" Orion: "You know nothing of a past life, what if I were to tell you that Pyre is blood related to you?" Pyrus: *wipes his mouth*. "I don't have a family, she can't be..." Orion: "Hmph, perhaps I'll pay her a visit then and I can find out on a more...... personal level." (Charging at Orion with his fist, Pyrus tries to punch Orion across his face but fails miserably and Orion trips Pyrus with his staff.) Pyrus: *falls on his knees*. "....." Orion: *puts his shades back on*. "You can't protect her, you can't even protect yourself. You're weak, it's time to grow strong." (In cliche anime style, through Pyrus's will to protect Pyre and the others in his group, a pillar of bright moonlight explodes from Pyrus's body and the moonlight blade begins to form in his hands.) (Griping the hilt of the new weapon, Pyrus swings the blade towards Orion who is standing behind him and smacks him across the room with an explosion bomb of moonlight energy.) Pyrus: *stands up from his knees and holds the sword over his shoulder, hair turning neon green as his body fills with moonlight*. "Alright then, you wanted this, come and get it." Orion: *stands up after taking the attack and throws his staff to the ground*. "Oh, I'm gonna enjoy this. I'm gonna enjoy this very much...." (End of Part 8) ----------------------------------------------------------- (Next Part for Group 1 will show what Ringleader, Bucky, Orcinus, and Hammer are up to while Pyre and Pyrus dealt with this new realm. Group 2 will be receiving the next post to get them to part 8.) [spoiler]Sorry for the double post. I was bored today. [/spoiler]
