"Ah ah ah, that's where you're wrong my boy, this device still has its uses, Shakes, put your hands inside the tubes there and I'll put mine in the other." I instruct shakes.
"I promise, this won't kill you, I hope." I say, grinning at my own joke.
"Aurum, you just sit back and watch." I say, pulling up a chair with my powers that hits him behind the knees, forcing him to sit.

Shakes put his hand into the tube, gently, as if there was a demon-cockroach-snake in there...or something like that.
"I swear to me, if this thing does even one thing even remotely evil, I will find a way to rip your frigging head off."

"I promise you, it won't." I say, putting my own hands in there.
"Deladia, activate the power hybridizing system." I command the A.I.
The sphere starts to become covered in small ice crystals, and the crystals start to levitate off the sphere, obviously exhibiting my powers and Shake's powers.
The process ends quickly and painlessly.
I turn around and I look at the mirror, I notice I'm a few shades paler and my hair is stuck together by ice, and my body seems to become very cold.
"Wow, no wonder you look like shit all the time, you have absolutely no management over your hair." I say, trying to separate the strands of my hair but they're like a thick frozen towel.
"Just telling you now, try to keep control over the gravity on your feet, a little bit of lost concentration will send you quickly to the roof." I warn Shakes.

This statement would be followed by a loud thud as Shake hit the ceiling.
Very loudly and painfully, I might add.
"Yeah, well I like my hair." Shakes said, as his own white locks began to separate and float apart. "Wonderful. I have an antigravity-induced afro."
Shakes sighed from his perch on the ceiling. "How long until this wears off? I'd like to get down from here." the Architect said. As if some outside force that got it's jollies on wish-fufilment was there, Shakes suddenly hit the floor, leaving a small "dent" in the floor around his body. Shakes, with some effort, lifted his head from his position on his back, and turned towards Yamino.
"I hate you so much right now."

I'm sitting in a chair(more like a throne) of ice and I'm toying with Shake's powers.
"Yeah, I know you hate me, I know how to control your powers more precisely than you do." I say, sneering at him as I create a small glass and then I use his powers to melt the ice in the glass, filling it with water.
"The powers will wear off when we put our hands back in there, why, having trouble with my powers?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.

OOC: Hira, I'm not exactly sure if Jax told you anything about any of us when we RP, but I tend to only gripe or whine when I see something that makes no sense whatsoever (see our "Sword of Damocles" Spy RP. Her and her frigging laser head....).
I gotta call BS on this one. You've had powers that you're in no way used to having for, what, five minutes? And you've already got more control over them than someone who's had them for his entire existence? I mean, you don't see Shakes ripping massive chunks of the ground out with gravity powers, do you?
Just sayin'.
IC:
"Excuse me sir, I-" one of the various aides that littered labs like these said as he entered the room. This stopped when he clutched his heart and fell to the floor, dead.
"That one was a complete accident." Shakes said, now up to 401.

"Oh come on, a gravity burst straight to his chest?" I ask, facepalming. "Control my boy control, I researched you completely and try to make an effort to control your powers, try doing the same for me eh?" I ask, freezing the Aide's body and stepping on it, shattering it.

OOC: Eh, it's cool. We all go overboard sometimes. 'Sides, no one could beat Jax's frigging laser head when it comes to "showboating". XD
IC: Shakes sighed, concentrating a little harder. He was propelled up into a standing position.
"Much better. Now...." he said, glaring at his hair, which began to take the same shape it used to have. Unfortunatly, he started to float a little bit.
But just a little. Like, half a foot.

OOC: This is handy. I was thinking about adding some way to trade powers. This takes care of that nicely.
IC:
Aurum watched in mild amusement.
"Okay, maybe I'm a little slow, but how is that useful aside from party tricks? This Cain guy is still out to kill us, isn't he? How are we going to stop him? No matter what we do to him, he won't stay dead. And we can't use this thing to destroy him without another Architect to help us out. So, what's our strategy here?"
---
Cain still waited outside, observing the entrance to the tunnel that led to Yamino's hidden laboratory. The security was heavy, but with Marks' powers, the electronic surveillance could probably be disabled. As for the human guards, Cain could subdue them without killing them, but not without support to make sure no one sounded the alarm.
OOC: Kan, seriously, I need an answer from you here for IC purposes. See my last post.

OOC: I really need to stop thinking mathematically when it comes to RPs.
"This little device here will kill him if we get him inside of it, once we get an Architect of fire, which is the opposite of Shake's powers, we'll be able to trap him inside this and then fully activate it thus and negating his powers completely. " I say, crossing my arms and grinning.

Shakes was, by the way, currently standing on the wall.
"You know, I think I can see why you have a God Complex. You know, other than...um...yeah." the ice Architect said. "Oh, and where're we going to get a fire Architect?"

Aurum's eyes lit up. "Fire, you say? Hmm... you know, I seem to recall meeting a guy with fire powers a little while back. Seemed like a nice guy. I think he called himself... uh, Draco? No, Drago. Yeah, that was it."
He clapped his hands together.
"Okay. So if we can get Drago on our side, Cain's toast, right? Great. Any idea where we could find him?"

"We can sense each others whereabouts if we concentrate hard enough, besides I've heard that he emanates a warmness even if you're 100 feet away." I say, placing my hands back inside the tubes.
"I would like my powers back by the way." I say.

OOC: Sorry been busy of late.
IC:
Marks glances at the security before coming up with a plan, "Alright Cain, I could try a selective EMP and take out the basic cameras, can't risk more though without alerting Yamino " he says to Cain.
"If you can hold off the guards long enough I could change my type of attack and basically taser em till they are out cold, if I can make it to a power junction I think I could charge up drastically, maybe so much we could blackout the place, making it easier for us to get to Yamino, the only downside is that although I will be super charged, so will Yamino, unless Aurum helps out" he says before jumping down off the building, positively charging his body and charging the air immediately around him as well, causing him to slow to the point where he lands silently on the ground.
He quickly dashes to a hiding spot and focus's on the surveillance system. He grabs a cord laying on the ground that's connected to a light and sends a focused burst into it, guiding it to the camera system, overloading it and rendering it useless.
He motions to Cain that everything is clear.

OOC: No problem.
IC:
Cain nodded. He jumped off the roof and raced straight into the tunnel. The first guard in his path didn't even know what hit him. Cain punched him in the gut, sending him flying into the wall. Cain ran for the next nearest guard and grabbed him by the throat, quickly draining the life out of him.
I can bring them back from the brink of death, he thought, so there's no point in holding back. He laid the guard on the ground. He restored the man's life energy, enough to keep him alive, but not enough that he would wake up anytime soon.
From there, Cain proceeded down the tunnel, beating up, pummeling, and generally knocking out everything that moved. From what his senses told him, the Architects were somewhere below him. Unfortunately, in the heat of battle, he forgot that the sense works both ways.
***
Just then, Aurum looked up at the sudden feeling of an unfamiliar power drawing near.
"Woah... do you guys feel that?" He paused, trying to focus. "I think I recognize Marks, but there's another power drowning him out. What the hell is that?"

Marks grasps the cord once again and forces himself into the system, guiding himself into the tunnel power lines. He then forces himself out of the lines and in a bolt of electricity appears next to Cain.
As he recovers from the effort he sends a low powered jolt at a guard Cain missed, before running up beside Cain. "You know, I still don't know what your powers are" he says to him as they come to the end of the tunnel and a half dozen guards, all wielding pistols.
Marks quickly sends a jolt orb into the group, and causes it to explode, knocking them all out. He falls to his knee, visibly tired. "Hey Cain, mind helping me into the guard office there? I should be able to charge up there" he says to Cain, breathing hard.

"Absolutely," he said, glad they changed the subject before he had to explain himself to Marks. Cain stepped up to the metal door to the office. He braced himself and kicked in the door, knocking it clear off its hinges and into the room.
He turned to give Marks the 'ok' sign, when to his surprise he saw another guard was left inside the room. Realizing he'd been seen, the guard ran toward a nearby computer console to trip the alarm system. Cain quickly sprinted after him. He caught the guy by the hand and gripped tight. Within seconds, the guard turned very pale and cold. His eyes rolled back and he dropped to the floor.
"Dammit..."
Realizing what he'd done, Cain knelt down and took hold of the guard's hand again, restoring some of his life. The man's heart restarted and he began breathing again, but was still unconscious. Cain stood up and turned to Marks.
"Well... does that answer your question?"

"I think I've got a good idea about that other power. Let's think, who has that much power, and why would they be here? I think the answer's obvious." Shakes said.

"Well, he surpasses my powers, defiantly." I say, removing my hands and my hair and skin returning to normal.
I tie my hair back into a long ponytail and I adjust my cufflinks to wrap around my wrists.
"Well now, I think this calls for a lockdown." I say, walking over to the console and smashing a red button into the console sounding an extremely loud alarm.
"Security system activated, All units fortify positions and await orders from Commandant Class Liana units." A Female Computerized voice says.
"High risk areas sealed and automated ASTROSYCH cannons active, please evacuate." It adds on.
"The high risk areas including here are sealed now, we can get out, but we'll need to defend this device at all costs." I say turning towards Aurm and Shakes.
"I'm afraid I'm going to have to instantly transmit us all to Cain's position." I say while grinning and I grab both Aurum and Shakes by the back of their shirts.
"I suggest you both hold on to your lunch or whatever the human euphemism is." I say, as I warp us into an alternate dimension of suffering, chagrin, hate, sadness, gore, blood, rampant violence, rape, insanity, fear, torture, pain, anguish, and debauchery; even though it's for a second, everyone who goes through there goes through a 'shocking' experience, except me.
And then in the next second we appear no more than 10 feet of Cain.
"Well well well..." I say, dropping both Aurum and Shakes on the floor.
"Throw up later you two, we have a fight to win." I say, summoning a blade of pure darkness at my hands.
OOC: I think you will be afraid of me now Zamiel, my sister is the viciously insane one, I'm the insane with the love of the evil one.

Aurum took his time getting up. He was still trying to get a grip on where they were, and what the hell just happened.
Cain turned to face the Architects that had just arrived. "Damn. It looks like I underestimated you again," he said. "I guess that human saying is true; you can't teach an old dog new tricks."
In a change of tactics, Cain held his hands out to either side to show he was unarmed.
"Listen," he said, "I realize I may have been short with you in the past. But believe me, we don't need to resort to violence anymore. There is another way: we can start life anew on another world. Just please consider this alternative. Leave this planet and its people in peace."

Shakes just sat there, with a horrified "the f**k was that?" look on his face. Ice spread out slowly from his position on the floor. A second later, he regained his composure and stood.
"Umm...." he said, as if that summed up everything. "Umm...."

Marks grabs an errant cord and pulls himself up, "No, he'll never end this peaceably" he says with gasps as he begins drawing power.
The lights begin to flicker, the alarms start to whine down, all the while Marks stands up straight, white hot electricity sparking all around him, his hair growing out a small fraction, "He only understands one thing, pain and death" he draws even more power, lights going out completely, the emergency lights flicking on as the alarm dies completely.
In the bask of the low power light one could see Mark's hair beginning to change in color, from the average brown color to a bright and vibrant electric yellow, the sparks around him calming from bolts to nothing, as the power is drawn inwards. Now Marks could no longer be mistaken for human again, his appearance becoming the norm for Architects, a vision of their inner self.
He steps up beside Cain and raises his arms, two orbs of electricity forming at his hands before engulfing his fists and forearms, "Its time to show him what pain really is" he says before planting a right hook at Yamino, the electricity engulfing his arm and fist sending a powerful jolt through the Darkness Architect.

"Powerful indeed...." I say, grabbing his fist and allowing the jolt to run through me.
"Still pathetically minuscule compared to my power though." I say, tightening the grip on the hand and I push him back and I cut a Y into his shirt with my blade.
"Foolish child." I say, kicking him back towards Cain.
"Calm down or I'll transport you to the dimension these two went." I say while grinning.

OOC: God complex much? Don't expect that to last. IC: Aurum stood up, watching silently. He stared hard at Cain, then at Yamino. Finally, he shot a glance over to Shakes. His face seemed to be saying, You thinking what I'm thinking?Meanwhile, Cain helped Marks to his feet. At the same time, he infused him with a wave of life energy, further boosting his power. "Stop and think about this, Nostrovia," Cain said. "You're not in control anymore. For countless lifetimes, you've sewed feeling of resentment in your fellow Architects, and it's finally catching up with you. Stop this foolishness while you still have your dignity."

OOC: If what I think is about to happen, I'm going to have to die, or run.
I frown and the blade I summoned dissipates into thin air.
"I've thought for very long, I know many Architects dislike me vehemently," I say, taking off my coat and throwing it to the floor.
"But, no matter what you say, I will forever have my dignity, I have single handedly repaired the economy to Evemada with my company, made jobs for millions of these humans, but that is not the point." I say, crossing my arms now.
"You lesser architects...you idiots...you will never understand or even manage to minutely comprehend the burden, of having to be the best! Of having to be worthy!" I say, raising my hands and everyone starts to levitate.
"I will not fall here, I will NOT die here, not on this planet, not in this universe!" I say, the energy within my body boiling over and then the gravity starts to stretch out in all dimensions.
"I will not leave this planet, the planet which I have built my empire on." I say, walking slowly towards Cain now.
"You, who are you to tell us other Architects who have made a life here to leave, our God? You're pathetic." I say, spitting on his pants.
"If I must fight you and other Architects to save myself and others who see my point of view, so be it..." I say, now for the first time, my face expressing pure anger.
"Fight me, or leave the planet yourself you old fool." I say, summoning a significantly large claymore that's enshrouded in darkness.

Cain looked disheartened. He looked toward Aurum and Shakes. "And what about you? Do you feel the same?"
Aurum scratched his head, dislodging a few grains of sand that had been embedded in his hair for who knows how long.
"Universes, empires... I don't know about all that. What I do know is this: I don't wanna die, and I'm not eager to leave the planet I call home." He raised his hand, pointing toward Cain. "Whatever you agenda is, pal, it's not gonna fly here."
Aurum focused on the metallic ore in the walls around them. A large metal panel suddenly tore off the wall. It took flight and slammed into Cain and pinned him against the opposite wall.
"Now, I'm not gonna mess you up to bad. Not just yet anyhow. The way I look at it, we Architects all come from the same place. We're like family; brothers and sisters, you know? And we might have a few sibling rivalries now and then, but the fact is..." Aurum turned toward Yamino as he spoke. "Ol' Dark-sides here is still my brother. And I can't let you try and kill him."
Cain started to struggle against the metal panel, but it had fused to the wall holding him tightly in place against the wall. Just then, he stopped and turned toward the tunnel entrance. A bright light appeared on the horizon, and whatever the source was, it was coming closer. And fast.
"...At least, not until I get one last crack at him."
Aurum grinned. Outside, his masterwork sword responded to his silent calls, flying toward them at incredible speed. The enormous sword shot into the tunnel and straight at Yamino. The two blades collided with a deafening metallic clang.
As Yamino was knocked off-balance, Aurum landed back on his feet and held up his open hand. The giant shining sword flew over his head, and he grabbed hold at it went by, letting the sword pick him up and carry him back toward the tunnel opening. He landed and took on a rough fighting stance.
"Come on, big guy! Let's take this outside!"

OOC: I'm not going to lose without a fight, that's for sure. I stagger and I quickly teleport right up to Aurum. "Cheap shot." I say, as I kick him in the face and I land on the floor. "Touching speech." I say, looking back into the tunnel. I concentrate my energies to summon a blade of pure chagrin and malice. "Nobody has seen the weapons from the dimension I have created until now..." I say, and the blade forms in my hands and it looks like a double scythe with a vicious looking blade and handle, the blade looking like it's pulsating with evil energies. "Say hello to The Blade of Corruption." I say, letting it go and letting it float at my side, and then the 8 blades I have also appear out of nowhere, floating menacingly behind my back and pointing at Aurum. "If you're going to betray me, I will allow my mind to shatter temporarily to unleash my full strength, so I urge you to reconsider..." I say, as my coat appears on me once again, but this time my energies turn my hair pitch black, my eyes take on the forms of perfectly cut blue diamonds and my entire outfit turns black and purple, I have starting to cease being Yamilka Nostrovia, but a being of pure insanity and darkness. "What courses through me now is pure darkness and evil intentions, I cannot promise you I can control it, reconsider." I say, taking the Corruption into my hand and holding it behind my back.

Shakes thought long and hard about Cain's question. He sighed, then lit up a smoke as soon as Yamino became the biggest nutjob on the planet.
Oh, wait. Was that before or after the fight started? O.O
At any rate, the Ice Architect stood there, smoking until the cigarette was down to its last legs. Pressing it into his skin, Shakes sighed.
"I'm kinda of the same opinion as Aurum. I kinda like this place. I mean, I've got a job. How many Architects can say that they work the cash register at the Food Lion in Mercer?
"But, I think I'll take you up on that offer, Mr. Cain. There's not a whole lot for me on this planet anymore. I mean, as enjoyably warm as Global Warming is, I'd really rather not find out what happens to me when there's no more ice left."
Shake then stamped the cigarette butt out.
"And Aurum might have a point, about all Architects being related and crap. And Yamino might be like the bastard son of the family, but he's still my brother, in a round-about way. But then again, I hate his frigging guts, and if, when, Evemada is gone, he'll just probably go somewhere else and start this all over again.
"C-can't let that happen."
Shakes looked down to his feet. That's when the shaking started.
