Carved into a massive cliffside, far away from civilization, lies an abandoned, underground fortress. Completely hidden from view by twin, metal doors, disguised to look identical to the rock around them, the facility is guarded by several, rocket-launching turrets camouflaged into the landscape. While not apparent from the surface, it stretches for miles underneath the surface. Once Zurakia's base of operations until his untimely death, it was stockpiled with miles upon miles of vaults, filled to the brim with Great Being technology. Most inventions strewn about revolve around one purpose: creating the perfect army.
Now, Deviox and Voidarix inhabit the fortress, using its resources to rebuild Zurakia's army.
Deviox paces the throne room impatiently, hands in his pockets. He constantly glances at the monitors, watching as the number of soldiers rises higher and higher.

Excidia looks at him, amused. "Relax, darling. Have you ever wondered why I called the Feeding a blessing? I can't be certain but you should have more abilities."

OOC: If you want them to have telepathy/mind link
OOC: Sure, why not
IC: "Yeah, if you say so. Thing is, I still have absolutely no idea what any of them are. Not like it helps with our army at all- we're still only at..." he pauses, glancing again at one of the monitors, "three hundred thousand. That's almost nothing compared to what we need."

"I myself am unaware as well. Think, Devoix. Meditate. Focus and draw out the emotion you used during The Feeding."
"Also, sweetie, I could rapidly increase production if you would let me use either biorganics or even my own army to manifest in cortical hosts. My own army is in the quadrillions."

Deviox chuckled, "Oh, don't worry about that. Despite my impatience, the army's coming along quite nicely. In less than a month, we'll be in the millions. As we speak, soldiers are expanding the assembly line. When complete, it'll halve the time it takes to build a soldier."

"Oh well. But if you wish to tap into your latent power, you must concentrate."

Deviox took a deep breath, closing his eyes, "I've never quite believed in this voodoo stuff before, but if you say so..."

"Sweet cakes, this isn't voodoo. Nah, Voodoo is different. I could teach you, though." She shrugs.
"Now focus! Concentrate on your Wrath. Use it, embrace it. Tell me what you foresee."
OOC: A Phoenix for Devoix, a Pegasus for Voidarix
OOC: quite fitting, tbh IC: The two are interrupted as a beam of energy appears out of nowhere, slicing through the room and sideswiping Excidia's chest- this removes the front of her armor and reveals the portal underneath. Before either of them can react, Voidarix uses a burst of air to propel him into the portal.

OOC: Oh? Do tell IC: Excidia gasps, as her chest opens up. Her eyes dull as her Core Chamber is opened.

OOC: Well, for one, Phoenixes are red, just like Deviox. That, combined with fire that somewhat describes Deviox's bouts of anger makes it work for him. A pegasus is sorta graceful and calm, yet wild, just like Voidarix
IC: Voidarix dashes through the chamber, following Astrona's instructions to destroy the brown, green, and white orbs scattered throughout the chamber.

OOC: Mkay
IC: Astrona's spirit is released, followed by Zenila. Crystalia as well, but she turns ebony black for a moment. "Good, now smash all these or-" Astrona begins, before the chambe rumbles.
"Who dares enter the Core Chamber?" It booms, as Crystalia and Zenila's spirits float away.
"We must go, Voidarix, now!"
Excidia appears. "Why? I gave you my blessing...yet you betrayed me.HOW DARE YOU!!!" She screams, grabbing Voidarix and throwing him out, followed by choking Astrona. She screams violently, as she continues applying pressure to the Makuta of Rahi's throat, before throwing them both out of the chamber.
OOC: Oh? Do tell IC: Excidia gasps, as her chest opens up. Her eyes dull as her Core Chamber is opened.
"What... just happened?"
Her eyes flash various colors. "We've been betrayed! Xitona, launch the assault!" Excidia hisses, in a more masculine voice. "No! It's a misunderstanding!" A light voice cries.
Excidia begins to become unraveled. Her form glitches hideously, as 14 major faces form, trillions of tiny faces forming across her body. She occassionally twitches, as the 14 voices argue.
"No, Clethron! It is not a betrayal!" An agressive voice hisses.
"You shut up, Xaituli." The masculine voice snarls.
OOC: This takes place as the post in the Core Chamber.

OOC: Yes, this is necessary
Voidarix lands on his feet, one hand planted on the ground to slow himself as he slid backwards.
Deviox looks at him, dumbfounded. Slowly, his brow furrowed as he whispers harshly, "Voidarix... what... did you do?"

OOC: I'm just imagining Devoix's voice in some movie scene where the main protagonist is young and messes up then the older dude's like "What did you do?" Or something IC: Excidia's physical form continues fracturing drasitcally as the ones known as Clethron and Xaituli continue combating, before....Excidia's arm falls off.
Her legs begin to twist and horribly fuse into a long serpentine trunk, before blowing up. Another arm falls off. The arms squiggle, crawling towards Devoix and Voidarix respectively, before turning into dust in the wind.
"SHUT UP, XAITULI! You know nothing, this was treason of the highest order!"
"No it wasn't Clethron, that Makuta, Astrona, is to bla-"
A cool, calm and serene voice interferes. It is Excidia's. "No. This is my fault...I let myself believe that creations of those vile Great Beings could be trusted...they went into my core chamber...The pain..they ruptured several Soul Orbs."
A gasp. "A Soul Orb?" Xaituli whispers. "Yes. They ruptured three of them. They went INSIDE ME AND EXPLODED MY VEINS!!!" Excidia suddenly roars, her quickly rotting mutilated corpse writhing and squirming on the floor.

OOC: Yeah, that's what I was going for. Also, I see you're taking full advantage of not having your posts moderated IC: Voidarix and Deviox look at the spectacle in horror.

OOC: I see. And of course I am! IC: As her veins explode, Excidia stands, her armor smoothening over and stitching itself back together. He fallen off arm reforms and stitches itself back to her torso as she grins maniacally. "Why hello lovely Devoix. You have a traitorerus filthy scum next to you. I will take care of it for you, my dear." She grins twisted, as she snaps her bones back into relative place.
She dashes towards Voidarix, completely ticked off.
OOC: Excidia's mentality is fragile. You cannot fight her. You need too persuade her

OOC: Oh, it feels amazing not having uber-strict mods on here. I have quite a bit in mind for the plot going forward that couldn't have happened back on the LMBs Well, seeing as it was a Makuta who convinced Voidarix to betray Excidia, he really isn't going to be doing anything other than standing his ground.
IC: Voidarix morphs into Defensive mode, digging his heels into the ground to withstand whatever Excidia may throw at him, "I"m sorry, Excidia, but I regret nothing. I've told both you and Deviox before- Brotherhood first, Conquest second."
