Cross Effects- The RP

[YOLF]

Uchiten

His visage had stopped flaring in inky darkness as the power in the battlefield died down. Recognizing the fight was indeed over, the smile on Uchiten's face had mellowed but not vanished, and an almost disappointed sigh made its way out his mouth. Despite how quickly it had been over, it had been a show without bounds. At the time, he honestly wished to express his gratitude to the two fighters for entertaining him so with such a valiant duel.

More powers were converging at the ground zero of the battle however, and his thirst for excitement momentarily quenched, the evil spirit decided caution was in order.

Extending his perception, he found one of his makeshift blood familiars close by, miraculously unscathed from the destruction and backlash of kilometers that the clash between the two demigods had wrought. Mentally directing it to the site, Uchiten saw through its eyes and chuckled inwardly as he took in the gathering.

Even as she said that Grigori turned to the right and saw a crow standing on the ruins of a building, and it was staring at the little group at the center of the crater. "How forward of you sorcerer. Such a blatant familiar." A twist of her hand sent thousands of tendrils of shadow at the bird. It was captured in a moment and pulled it right in front of Grigori's face. "Blood. How cute. Come out wherever you are sorcerer! You would not like it if you made me come after you."

A single pool of molten gold cast its light upon the group standing near Karna for but an instant. In that instant, a blur to supernatural eyes that no mortal could perceive shot forth, piercing straight through the familiar and destroying it utterly, carrying it into the side of another building, far off. With that, Gilgamesh, King of All Heroes, had announced his presence to the gathered.

Uchiten paused at that, blinking slowly. Then he laughed lightly and called over Zan with his right hand. The oni nodded and his form vanished in the night with a quick shimmer. Though no longer in perceptible or physical form, the shikigami stood on watch by its master's side. Then, the onmyouji raised his gaze up in assessment, and disappeared in a flash like a spark straying from lightning.

Using the spirit pulse that flowed through the land as a foothold and means of transportation, the distance of kilometers that spanned from his perch to the creater was astrally covered in seconds. The last attack from either warrior that had shaped the creater, however, had been of an intensity such it had completely disrupted the ley lines there. And so, where he normally would've been able to get much closer, the sorceror had to cut his jump short.

With another flash, Uchiten's form reappeared high in the sky near the edge of the creater. From then, he slowly floated down to ground level and joined the group surrounding Karna and Gilgamesh, taking in those there with mirth slipping into his gaze as it swept over each one individually.

Bringing one arm behind his back, he brandished the other in a grand yet proper gesture, and bowed deeply.

"Greetings to all. I apologise for my uncalled eavesdropping." he began, turning to Gilgamesh and Karna first. "King Gilgamesh of Uruk, Karna of Anga. I salute you for the excellent bout. It was a sight unlike any I have seen before, and it brought my jaded eyes much joy."

"Lady Wynn. It is a pleasure to see you again." Uchiten continued, turned to Wynn, before finally facing Grigori. "Pleased to make your acquaintance. Your magic is powerful indeed. I hope I will be able to see more in the future."

Rising from his bow, he fixed the group over his glasses and spoke once more. "I am Ketsumoto Uchiten, of Japan."

His full name exited his mouth without any particular will empowering it. The words that were like a curse in and of themselves could be dangerous even in such a mundane manner, but with this group, Uchiten did not dare fail his etiquette, and he had no doubt they were all far too powerful to be so simply affected.

[Brahmastra]

"Belongs to you? Has a servant of yours taken a opposing side?" Karna was genuinely curious in the regards to the term. Was "belonging to someone" a phrase common to this world? Perhaps someone could literally own others as possessions in this modernity. What had the world come to while he was gone?

He barely showed recognition towards the presence of the newcomer. Truly, he was not one to acknowledge curses as living beings.

[Umbra of Chaos]

"I am Ketsumoto Uchiten, of Japan."

Grigori felt magic moving around her. A curse perhaps? Maybe a more passive effect started by calling the mans true name. How interesting. "Well, if we are introducing ourselves I should do so as well. I am Grigori, archmage, pioneer of the most obscure magical fields, and Death God." Now that introductions were finished she looked back to the Fae.

"Are you truly that cruel Little Shadow? I can understand the King ignoring me, for he holds the power of creation itself in his hands but you?" Grigori moved forward and with a single step forward touched Wynn's arm. From there she transferred a few memories. Nothing extravagant. A few centuries spent researching the arcane. No eating or sleeping simply more and more progress. Taking paths other have traveled and more obscure or forbidden ones. No substance. Just memories of the pursuit of knowledge, and at the end the true face of a god. Its essence made bare for the world to see.

Satoshi raised an eyebrow "I have had enough of being taken over, retreat, now!" he stated pushing his power to it's limit. "Retreat or burn!" he snapped releasing the full force of the Dragon's power engulfing the whole garage in flames.

the creature would likely die if he did not retreat but Satoshi could not risk being taken over again.

Ash smiled and said, "Well, I'm Ash.  This might be oddly pleasant."

Then she brushed Ellen's hair back from her throat, her grey eyes turning crimson and her canines lengthening to delicate but sharp points.  The vampire licked the girl's throat before biting her.

If Ellen was in any doubt that Ash was not human, her changed visage clearly confirmed she could be a vampire, as well as the fact she bit into Ellen's neck and started draining her blood. 'Oddly pleasant' was an understatement. Though single, the woman was not a virgin and have had her share of sexual experience back in college days, but the pleasure she felt even as her life was drained away was overwhelming her with rapture, making the pain go away.

[Gray]

Again it rejected him. "Why, why" Grim screamed in its mind. "Why won't the candidate accept my embrace?" was what rung in Grims mind again and again.

The fire hurt, it hurt like nothing Grim had ever felt before but a barrier surrounding Grim, some water magic and the paltry magic resistance Grim had helped lessen the blow.

Grim was still flying towards him and finally made contact again.

Finally Grim could use the Makiri magecraft of binding. So while in contact Grim drained as much mana as he could expelling any excess as water magic to further cool down himself.

[MissingMandible]

"Eh? Just because I'm Russian, it's not excuse to just command me around. There is this magic word in your language called please" complained Jojo, crossing his arms. "And no, I don't know if the vehicle works."

Russian. That was a word Elissa didn't want to hear. However, his phrasing was off: Not even a spy would say something like that to cover his own tracks. No one can act like they didn't know that World War III was going on, especially since it was a few years in.

No, something isn't adding up here. This strange location, these people; this just cements it.

Turning her attention to the other individual in front of her "Check on the Taxi Cab, see if it is still in working condition. If it is, I'll follow you to the location you were heading. This place is a complete unknown, and I want answers."

[Kurogami]

Grigori chose to depart leaving some of what look to be magic eyes to witness in her stead, Vatler chose to follow. Upon arriving at the center of the crater, Minato turned to look at Vatler and asked,

"Tell me Vatler, how do you turn sixteen thousand into twelve hundred?"

At this Minato takes out the gun like evoker from it's holster and presses it against his head.

Two deep breaths.

"Per   so    na."

Pull the trigger.

Instead of the gore one would normally expect to see, a sight and sound reminiscent of shattering glass issues as blue mist flows outward and a figure appears in the air.



A figure of White and Silver, exuding a holy aura vast enough to be clearly felt anywhere in the city.

The figure raised it's right hand and spoke a single word in unison with Minato,

"Salvation"

And with that a bright, white light shone from the figure's outstretched hand. The light flowed outward, filled the crater and flowed out into the city, flowing through buildings, vehicles, and people; All the living it touched were fully healed, all disease and all ailments vanished as if they had never been. For twenty kilometers the light flowed, and the injured were healed, and the ailing were cured, and the souls of the dead were given peace.

Fifteen thousand lives were saved from death, twelve hundred souls given peace.

Arisato Minato, looking as if he had exerted a great deal, returned the evoker to it's holster.

"I'm hungry, wanna get something to eat?"

[Elf]

At the start of the magical battle between Satoshi and Grim, alarms, both mystical and mundane went off in a chorus of claxion cries.  The sound echoed throughout the garage and spread through the compound, alerting Forest that again someone was stirring up shit in her house.  Without a word to anyone, she took off in a mad dash heading for a room on the second floor.

This room was filled with various crystal, gem, and mineral specimens that would have been the envy to any museum or private collector.  In the center of the room, sitting in a circle of clear quartz crystals, was a black box.  Inside the black box was something very precious.  There were five of them, five hematite crystals that had been steeped in her godson's blood.  She picked up one of them and rushed towards the garage.

She was instantly greeted by fire and steam, and with a shout of a word in Gaelic, she threw the crystal in the center of the room.

It cracked, and deep red light crackled out of it, spreading over both fire and water.  As soon as the light vanished, all magic in the room was nullified, leaving only charred and steaming remains.

Forest glared and shouted, "What the fuck is going on here?"

******
"Belongs to you? Has a servant of yours taken a opposing side?" Karna asked.

Wynn smiled and said, "I would not call her a servant, but I do consider her mine."

Then Grigori touched her arm, and she was disoriented for a moment from the flood of memories that the "god" was trying to impart upon her.  "Are you truly that cruel Little Shadow? I can understand the King ignoring me, for he holds the power of creation itself in his hands but you?"

Wynn withdrew her arm and said, "If you care to keep that hand, do not touch me again.  Your magics are perverse and against the act and order of nature.  I am to create and prevent stagnation, to encourage growth and thriving, while all you do is drain.  So yes, being cruel to a wretched thing such as you would be the sensible thing to do."

[Brahmastra]

Karna, knowing now less than what he started with, retracted his statement. He could easily see the person and what the Lady Umbra would do to her, but what he saw unnerved him and only confused him further, a single drop of cold sweat appearing on his brow. Truly, he would have to find out how the modern world permitted ownership over  other humans.

"I see. How very unfortunate for her."

[lantzblades]

Satoshi stumbled backward having lost his cane and robe. "Some kind of magical parasite, I thought it might be the same kind of symbiote as Venom since the Hulk was here earlier, probably not though, it doesn't seem smart. Little bit crazy but hate fire all the same" he explained coughing as he used the wall as a support.

Satoshi's elderly features were fully visible now as were the wounds from the over use of his power. He self consciously rubbed the top of his head patting the large bald spot tenderly, his hair now completely white.

his hands shook as he fiddled around in his pocket and retrieved his glasses. Putting the round frames on he added "I'm sorry, it'll be awhile before I can properly take care of Angra, the beastie here made me use a lot of magic and whatever you did took the rest"

[Brahmastra]

La Folia came running down the street at a reasonable speed. She was sure she had heard the sounds of a fire, and maybe even the sounds of fighting. She had one hand in her inner pocket, reaching for her Curse Gun when she came upon the building she was sure was the source of the noise. A compound of sorts, seemingly untouched for the last while. Was it merely her imagination? She had heard the sounds of fighting a multiple of times walking through the vast streets, most if not all of which were mere brawls, but at the sound of fire, she had taken action, as innocents could have been in danger.

This city was really getting to her, but then again, that wasn't necessarily bad. It was a great change of pace from the stuffiness of her homeland.

Putting her gun back in it's place, La Folia took a quick second look at the building before shrugging her shoulders with a slight sigh, before she took her bearings and began walking away, the natural swing to her hips reappearing as she contemplated the situation. Sure, it was great that none had come to harm, but it also left her without much to do but keep looking around and hope for entertainment to show itself. She was also getting quite hungry.

[Umbra of Chaos]

"If you care to keep that hand, do not touch me again.  Your magics are perverse and against the act and order of nature.  I am to create and prevent stagnation, to encourage growth and thriving, while all you do is drain.  So yes, being cruel to a wretched thing such as you would be the sensible thing to do."

Grigori shuddered. Feminine features dissapeared, and the male aspect resumed control "Prevent stagnation? I have done that for centuries. Conflict is an impressive motivator. Back an animal into a corner, and it will do anything to survive. I have pit nations, races, and individuals against each other for centuries. They have only grown stronger. Their wish to live makes them inventive. In order to avoid destruction they must make themselves powerful enough to withstand it. So they advance constantly, unwilling to let their race die out. Even immortals races such as the Fae pulled themselves into the race for advancement once they were given enough motivation."

Grigori twitched again, and the female aspect took control.

[Brahmastra]

"I'm hungry, wanna get something to eat?"

"If that is what you wish. I do not particularly feel the need for food myself."

The display before him had been truly impressive, if slightly boring. Such a level of power would be much more fun if it was used for destruction. Vatler would have to witness the young man's growth for himself before he could truly deem that he was as interesting as him.

[Kurogami]

"Ok follow me. I know a place, You may like it; or if you would rather, we can go to my home and I can cook."



With only that, Minato begins to walk towards the edge of the crater.
