((OOC: Same guy that attacked Jas in Figaro))
"Fox, how are our spies doing in overseeing the battle at Tzen?"
Fox: They are recording everything. No one is aware of their presence.
"Excellent. Make sure they get everything."
::Nu stops as he feels someone else is there, their presence hidden::
"Fox."
Fox: Yes sir?
"I think you and the rest of the research division should see about some of the technology you gotten from Oeilvert. I'll overlook the data"
Fox: But Nu-
"That's an order."
::Fox knew when Nu used that tone of voice, something was up.::
Fox: Yes sir.
::After Fox and everyone else leaves.::
"There's no point in hiding. Show yourself."
?: You always know how to spoil someone's fun.
::Nu looked as the figure came into the open::
"Impressive you managed to infiltrate my base, avoiding the security I have in place."
?: Simple if you knew how it works.
"Care to explain why you're here, or do I have to force it out of you."
?: You won't strike me. if you do, your recording equipment might get damaged, destroying any data you have already gathered. I'm here to issue a warning. What you're planning to do to the Cetra, don't. It'll backfire on you.
"And what proof do you have?"
?: Call me Shade. The proof I have is this. ::He removes his arm guard, showing Nu the same familiar eye that brands his arms, but it had some differences::
"You're also a servant of hers?"
Shade: No. I came from a period of a century ahead of this era. The Redeemer fails, but due to Jezebel's influence, the Destroyer actually becomes her champion, not Tyr's. She succeeds in her plan and takes over Gaea, destroying all the gods and goddesses, starting with Gaia herself.
::He recovers his arm::
Shade: Yet, for some odd reason, I am immune to her control. She was ignorant of my existence, until I slain her champion, the Destroyer that gave her her victory. But by then it was too late, she had won. There was only one option left, a desperate gamble.
"Modifying the past..."

Shade: Yes. You know there's nothing good with meddling in the past, but if you seen what I have, you would agree that it has to change. "If the future is already predetermined, then I guess ::Draws his blade and raises it at Shades neck:: I'll have to prevent your meddling." Shade: I'm on a whole different level than Jas Nu... But not here, somewhere more familiar to you... ::Next thing Nu knew, he saw they were inside the training area:: Shade: Now... ::Draws his blade:: You said something about stopping my 'meddling'. ::The two clash, Nu drawing the Soul Slayer as it clashed. But instead of his blade shattering, it withheld the attack:: How, my blade is said to shatter any. The only two blades I ever had trouble with is Jas's Ryuga and that accursed Excalibur.Shade: Wondering why your blade didn't break mine. It's simple, if you know of the legend. The Sword of Gaea, started as three separate blades until united as one by the Champion. The Blade of Heaven, Azurewrath. The Blade of Hell, Shadowfang. But only two blades in this era have the potential to become the Blade itself. The Ryuga, the Blade of Earth, or as many have called the Blade of Twelve Forms. Or your Soul Slayer, the Blade of Death and the Bane of all Sorceresses. What you see is the future form of your Soul Slayer, a trophy I claimed from the Destroyer. "So you succeeded where Jas failed, defeating me. But there is another factor of time travel you must of known about, things don't happen the same way twice." Shade: I'm well aware of that.

"Let's see how well you fared against my future self then..."
::Nu then jumped back and raised the Soul Slayer above his head::
"Tell me, do you enjoy music, because this song is one to die for..."
::Shade could see souls were starting to come out of the blade, those of imprisoned sorceresses, their wails were nearly deafening as the circled their eternal prison, forever bound to the enchanted steel::
"Chorus of Suffering!"
::With a swing of the blade, he sent the souls flying at Shade. Shade acted quickly and dodged, but saw the souls turning back and going at him again::
Shade: He never used this before...
::Dark flames surround Shades blade::
Shade: Calamity Symphony!
::He swings, the flames reaching and dispelling the attack, causing the souls to return to Nu's blade::
"Impressive. Seems that blade retains the power it has, but also seems to gain some elemental attributes as well from the Ryuga."
::Nu holds the blade infront of him::
"But you have yet to see the Soul Slayer at full power."
Shade: Then show me, you'll see I'll match it with the Fallen Hope.
::Fox looks up as he feels something. He can't describe it, but something tells him this would be something to watch::
Fox: Keep an eye on the tech!
::He takes off, fallowing the source to the overseer's booth of the training area, seeing Nu and Shade poised to strike, but the room is then wracked with a quake as he feels the feeling increasing::
Fox: What is going on?!
::Behind Nu, the captured souls were forming into one being, a ghostly armored warrior. While Shade's blade was turning black, the armor surrounding him cracking::
"Aria of Despair!"
Shade: Nocturne of Sorrow!
::The ghost draws its blade and lunges, only to be hit by a black beam, causing it to break apart to the souls and return to the blade. His blade regains its color, but both fall to their knees, both attacks taking alot out of them::
Shade: That ghost they formed, was that who I think it was?
"Indeed. That was Matthew Hopkins, The Executioner himself."
((OOC: Will add more later, but Matthew Hopkins did exist and was a witch hunter::

Shade: But I'm here to tell you this, don't push the Cetra any farther than you have to. Whatever you're planning, know that you're playing with fire. ::Stands up weakly:: And I know Jezebel is hearing me through you. Jezebel, know this: I came here to this era with one purpose, to see to it myself your plan to take over Gaea fails.

::Nu watched the newcomer's brash arrogance smugly. Indeed his struggle was going to be a spectacle to say the least. But the boy, phantom, or whatever he was had not felt the fallen Goddess' true power. Feeling the darkness within him told the Majin warrior that the Goddess was as amused as he was, but not at all surprised. And she was about to show him how futile his efforts were going to be. Shadows swirled around his feet and slithered up his legs until they writhed around the whole of his body. Nu gasped and dropped to one knee, leaning on Soul Slayer for support. But when his eyes met Shade again, they were not his own, but the slitted smoldering flames of a demon's eyes::
Nu/Jezebel: Oh how my being quakes in fear. So nice to see you again. I just knew they would send you little one.

Shade: And here I thought only the time gods themselves possessed a certain level of omniscience. And the remaining gods did more than send me to this era, they also made it where my actions can no longer be seen by you. You have no longer have any hold on me, my heart, my will or my soul. But I wonder how it feels. Knowing the future, yet unable to see the fate of a solitary mortal.

::The Man with Two Voices laughed darkly::
Nu/Jezebel: My hold? My hold is only your own desires. Any darkness you have in your heart is mine to use as I will. It is my divine right. Even my dear Brothers and Sisters are bound to honor that agreement. It is that darkness in the hearts of the children of man that has allowed me time and time again to win. You may be able to evade my all-seeing-eye, but you are not immune to your own darkness. Not you, not any mortal that walks this world, or any of the others. And that's the only reason I'm allowing you to leave this room alive, because we both know how this ends. Your kind will be too weak and I will win.

::Shade sheaths his sword before turning his back to him/her::
Shade: And that is why you'll fail again this time Jezebel. You've underestimated Gaia's children once and it costed you. But this won't be like it was in my time, because exactly like Natalia, I'll be here to stop you.
::Shade then vanishes as Jezebel lets go of her hold on Nu.::

::The Goddess sneered again::
Nu/Jezebel: And exactly like Natalia, you'll fail. It may take longer for some, but eventually they all fall. This should be interesting to watch your hope die again.
::Then in a shadowy mist, her hold vanished::

::Some time later::
"Fox. What you have seen, do no speak a word of it to the others."
Fox: Why?
"I do not want them to worry. And for the first time, I'm in the dark about something. How goes the transport of our newest 'guests'?"
Fox: Quite well. Though there's one name that did stand out. His name is Jaeck Allito Marlvo((OOC: Will work on name later)), but he's better known as the Blood Claw((OOC: Will work on a better nickname)). Committed over twenty murders before he was finally brought to justice.
"And why would he get my interest."
Fox: The one that brought him in. Our mercenary friend.
"Kerion... Interesting. What else do we know?"
Fox: When he was brought in, his hands were nothing but bloody stumps. It's believed Kerion sliced them off to prevent him from killing another victim before he subdued him. Some say it was a miracle he survived the lose of his hands as many would of died from just the blood lost alone. He was tried and convicted, sentenced to death. We were lucky to get him as his appeals ran out and he was to be executed in a few days, though it took alot of bribing to get him.
"Interesting. And he's in the holding chambers ::Sees Fox nods:: I'll see him myself then."

::Nu walked by the holding cells, containing the worst Gaea had to offer. Each of them were a death row inmate, sentenced for the most heinous crimes. Murderers, rapists, cop killers, child killers, gang bangers, and the worst, serial killers. Each of them watches as their new 'warden' walks by before stopping at one cage, the person huddled in the shadow, keeping his body hidden::
"Ah, the infamous Jaeck Allito Marlvo, at last we meet."
Jaeck: Who are you?
"I'm the one who saved you from the electric chair. The reason is, I'm here to make you an offer."
Jaeck: And why would you do that? If you read my file, I'm useless without my hands.
"That is why I'm here. Tell me, what is it that you desire most besides the return of your hands?"
Jaeck: What I desire most? What I desire most?! What I want is to kill the bastard that did this to me! The last thing I want him to see is his still beating heart when I rip it out of his chest! I want him to know the pain I felt when he sliced my hands off!"
"So its revenge you seek. I can make that possible. But there's one thing you have to do for me in return."
Jaeck: Name it! I'm willing to make a deal with the devil himself if that's what it takes!
"All that I ask, is that you pledge your absolute loyalty to me and me alone."
Jaeck: I-I-I do!
"Good. Now step out into the light so I can get a look at my newest servant."
::The form stands up and walks closer to the light. But caught Nu abit by surprise was the rodent like features, his fur a dull yellow bordering white and the fur covered tail::
"The files never mentioned you were a Burmecian."
Jeack: Guess the court and the papers didn't want Burmecians to get another bad rap, after what happened with Loci and all. By the way, when I was brought here, was my affects transferred as well?
"Indeed. Some I find suitable, others however... I'll explain that part when we're not surrounded. ::He unlocks the door and leads him out:: Fallow me and you'll get your hands."

::A few hours later:: ::Jeack was waking up from the sleep he was put under. He looked to his hands, but saw they were different, dark with a red outline.He looked to the meter checking his heartbeat and twitched his fingers before slashing at the machine. Though nothing happened at first, the machine then fell apart from where he slashed at it. Seeing this, he grinned evily. Jeack: Not what I was expecting, but a welcome change nonetheless. ::He looked to the door as he heard it open. He saw Nu, with a bundle of clothes:: "Ah, your awake. I have your affects here, now get dressed. we have much to do." ::He nods and gets his clothes on:: Jeack: Feels good to get out of that prison uniform and back into my proper clothes.
