Carnatis Inviktus(Reserved)

[Blewcheese]

"Oh, you're awake. Wilson's not very conscious right now. Hopefully he won't die. I'm a touch busy, so you lie down for now. Rest up." He continued fending off the annoying robots. "Erised, do me a favor and tend to Wilson? We need him."

[DwerBomb]

"Al...ma..."

Marcy whispers.

"Is her..."

[Blewcheese]

"She is in fact dead, but the retrieved her body. I managed to leave it missing a few organs, but I wouldn't be surprised if we saw her again." Entropy spat at the ground, continuing to keep the Conduits at bay. "And they said I was disrespecting the dead... Pah."

[Silentdarkness1]

Two of the Conduits electrified themselves and lunged at Entropy. Erised floated over to Wilson.

 

"...Wilson......come on....don't you dare be dead..."

 

Erised floated inside Wilson just long enough to check for a pulse.

[Blewcheese]

Entropy blocked one with a shadow arm, but instinctively sliced at the other with his blade arm and recieced a shock.

[DwerBomb]

<Wilson saved my life...>

Marcy concentrates herself and locates Wilson's position.

She then walks up to him and strokes his hair with her hand.

"Wilson...wake up...I know you can do it..."

[Silentdarkness1]

Erised floated over to Marcy.

 

"He's alive. I know he is."

 

The Conduits continued to attack Entropy relentlessly. WX-78, despite the damage he had taken, threw his axe to the ground and delivered a flying kick to one of the Conduits, bringing it to the ground. He landed on top of the Conduit, smashing it. A green gem among the crystal shards.

[DwerBomb]

Lewis is still on lying on the ground, his eyes lost in sorrow.

[Blewcheese]

Now that there was one less Conduit to defend against, Entropy managed to slice at another one, his blade meeting its leg.

[Silentdarkness1]

The leg severed in a rough manner, although it managed to stay upright, and used one of it's legs like a sword to stab at Entropy. WX-78 turned his attention to the next Conduit.

[Blewcheese]

Entropy sliced that leg clean off too, drawing in the chaos around him.

[Silentdarkness1]

The remaining 2 conduits both electrified themselves, and repeatedly tried to headbutt Entropy.

[Blewcheese]

Two shadow hands leapt from the ground beneath the Conduits, flinging them back to the ground before they came into contact with Entropy.

[Silentdarkness1]

WX-78 took out a Ham Bat and beat the second Conduit until it shattered. The remaining two Conduits let loose at Entropy with lightning balls that exploded on contact.

[Blewcheese]

Entropy managed to sheild himself from one, but was skimmed by the other. He recoiled from the explosion, letting loose a wave of darkness at the Conduits.

[Silentdarkness1]

Under the intensity of Entropy's power, one of the Conduits blinked out and shattered. The last one charged a powerful attack inside it's body.

[Blewcheese]

Entropy fired a rain of shadowy arrows at the last Conduit, hoping to kill it before it unleashed whatever it was charging.

[Silentdarkness1]

The Conduit dodged the arrows, before unleashing a powerful electric beam at Entropy.

[DwerBomb]

(Taps fingers on keyboard)

[Blewcheese]

The beam connects with Entropy's arm, and he groans in pain. Shadowy arms arrive around the Conduit and tear at it.

[Silentdarkness1]

The Conduit slashed away at the shadowy arms with it's legs, using them like swords. WX-78 readied it's Ham Bat, and lept at the remaining conduit, smacking it as hard as he could.

[Blewcheese]

A flurry of the arms attacked the conduit relentlessly as WX smacked it.

[Silentdarkness1]

Eventually, Entropy and WX-78's combined attacks brought down the last conduit. Among the shattered crystal shards was a red gem. WX-78's charge finally wore off.

 

[SYSTEMS....NORMALIZED. DISENGAGING COMBAT PROTOCOL.]

 

A bitter silence filled the air.

[DwerBomb]

(Oh thank Godness...

...

What do I do now, though?)

"Where is Lewis?"

Marcy asks to Erised.

[Silentdarkness1]

".....Down there a ways......I think.....I think he needs to be left alone...."

 

-------------

 

Wilson found himself in surroundings that almost seemed unfamiliar. Wood and stone-tile floorings? Candles on the walls? A house, perhaps? The familiar sights and smells of the wilderness were gone. Wilson was on the second floor of a house of some sort. He went through the nearest door, in a confused blur, and found himself inside a bathroom. Oddly well-kept. He walked over to the sink, and looked into the mirror. His face was worn with worry and distress.

 

Suddenly, he saw his visage in the mirror changing, turning into some dark mutation of his regular self.

 

"I....AM.......THE FUTURE."

 

"No.....no, it's not possible.....i'm me.....not you!"

 

"Soon, you will...hehehe.....it's only a matter of time. How far are you willing to go in the name of those you care about? And do you really care about them?....Lewis....Marcy.....and the others? Do you fear for their safety because of the truth of their character? Or for what experiences you could get off of them if they continued to live?"

 

"........Both."

 

"HAH! A glorious half-truth! I will have you!"

 

Suddenly, the floor collapsed, sending Wilson plummeting back into darkness.

 

Darkness.

 

The memories of what had just happened ringed in his mind.

-----------------

And pain. A deep, dark, sharp, stinging pain, all over his body as he returned to Marcy and the others. Shattered ribs, lacerations, internal bleeding and bruises. All of the pain returning to him all in one fell swoop. He stifled a scream of agony, then immediately vomited up a fresh round of blood.
