Few days later Nether World time-
.
"So.. the Asari.." Ruma was still trying to comprehend what she walked into the other day. "Are they going to be able to.. I do not know.. anything anytime soon?"
"Hehe, of course, they will. We are just in down time right now anyway. Some more than others." Azul looked at the female krogan calmly. "It was something I promised them and well, they took to it, way more than I thought. Who knew looping pleasure like that was so.. disastrous. I have a new understanding for sex cults now at least. From personal experience growing."
"Even Maldova is out of commission." Tifa stated. "I understand the others can take control of things for now but still..." She also made the mistake of stepping into the area to talk with Azul. She was dragged by Angron coming to save her. Which ended up with him going to his wife and breaking her in something fierce. It was hilarious slightly when Azul received the email when the party ended. "Defintely to much for me to take in."
"That is more a testament to your lifestyle actually." Azul Tifa closely. The experience caused her Cosmos power to grow greatly. Which she understood but realized maybe she needed to relax more. "Nothing wrong with not wanting to be in a ... stupor of excess."
"Bah! Of pleasure!" Jaina barked. She was still embarrassed about how she acted. "I do not want to get in something like that again." Her words did not match her face. Chari gave her a bemused look. "Not on that scale dammit!"
"To be fair, we should not have step in there. The regular party was fun as it was." Chari added. "But I enjoyed it a lot. Defintely want to do a dry run then grab a piece of you more often Azul. I am sure the members of the other members agree."
"That we do." Ruri said. her face was neutral but her biotic strands were very vibrant. Tifa was having trouble looking at the young women. Despite her being an adult. "Never knew you had such high vocals Natarle."
"Just leave it alone." Natarle said from a screen. She was on the bridge directing things with the other members. But did not want to miss the meeting. "Who knew you like booze so much."
"It is delicious. May partake a little every so often." She gave Azul a look, seeing him not say anything was enough for her. "I do not like stimulate effects of drugs, however. Even with it being that of someone else's."
"I do not either." Azul stated calmly. "But it is something is inside from the things I do."
"Yeah, it kind of sucks you feel it from every individual psyche, mental impression, and soul you take in." Lettie said. She was on his lap despite the glares she received from the others. Her look was very easy to read, you snooze you lose. "But the power is something else. And the power of the Everchosen helps you reign it in. So at least you can take it away better than before."
"A Pather has to experience everything in life, even things he hates." Alita said calmly. She was very aware on the ways it could go wrong if they didn't experience it. They turn very... twisted if not venting in a way. The same as a regular person not releasing aggression. "It is like a bucket feeling up with water and overflowing. The more he hates something, the more devasting it's effects. But it works the same as for things he loves as well."
"Which makes his spell casting on us so powerful." Torbin teased. "Aww, boss loves us. How nice."
"Shut up." Azul said angry. it was one thing to just say it, but the way he said was a little annoying. "It is ok, you are like our big sugar daddy. Hahaha.." he laughed into he was knocked in the back of the head. Mystique gave him a good one. "..Ouch! That hurt!"
"It was supposed to." Kat said from the other side of him. "Enough of the fun stuff. We should talk business."
"I agree." Mileuda said. She was very happy everyone was doing better, but she wanted to gt the grim news out of the way. It didn't help her ass still hurt from her swinging from a chandelier. Despite her having the ability to fly, it did not go well given her inebriated state. Then Tietra fucked her till she passed out made it worse. 'That little minx is gonna pay for that.'
"What is it?" Tietra asked innocent enough. She only remembers a little of what happened after her third drink of Rac something. Disabling several physical benefits was a bad idea. Most of them turned drunk the first 12 hours. "Did I do something bad?"
"No, something a little to good." Azul chuckled. He knew Titra was in for a rough day. Once Mileuda recovered of course. "On to business as you all wanted." His tone turned serious as a screen came up.
"Waaaaahhhh!" A collective out cry went out. The screens showed causalities were lover than what they predicted. It was bad, but they knew what they were getting into. The effects of Users upsetting a large World was apparent.
"Our forces, came out good. Despite interference from certain groups and the locals causing problems." Hilda said neutrally. "Several Planes were able to rally correctly under our Banner of course. Ruma and her mercenary group along With Lion El' Johnson, Angron, and Sanguinas did great."
"Lion and the others did a full leave." Angron said. "Trouble on the home front. They did not want to risk even a piece of their souls remaining. I left a piece of me behind of course. And a few troops in Vryn, They were up to shifty things and I did not like it. A little help would be nice."
"Granted." Kat said. "My Sisters found some strange things their on one of the rings. As well as some of them going missing. I take it you will not have any qualms about that right?" Azul shook his head no. "Great. The chance to save our people is still a priority. Thank you."
"No problem. I may have a problem their but that does not me I will take away everyone else desires to do things there. Just do expect my personal involvement." Azul thought it best to readdress that. "All of you know the stakes. I believe you can handle it or pull back as needed." They nod with some slight murmuring going about. Azul raised his hand silencing them.
"The Plane Wildfire," Hilda announced. "it is a plane of flame and lava. Well, it was a home of many Djinni, Efreeti and goblins. The leader served the Traitor Users. Everyone was sacrificed and the place was close to falling apart before our forces arrived."
"We tried to save it. Ob Nixlus said. A frown on his face. "But, we were outnumbered and the overwhelming force caused issues in our lines. If not for Lady Lettie, we would have all died."
"I take some blame for that." Bishop said. "I lost my cool and broke ranks. A lava eruption took out my Honor Guard ending their lives permanently. I should have kept file."
"No." Azul flipped a screen showing footage from another marines camera as well a few others memories. One of Cassandra's Honor Guard saw what happened. One of the Goblins fired a spell that he lost control of. It blew the ridge out sending a lot of debris into the lava. It caused the lava to erupted more violently. "Breaking ranks was bad, but.. your Honor Guard are trained to adapt to that type of thing."
"That is what Lieutenants are for." Angron said trying to ease some of the man's guilt. "The place was so unstable it would have been better to abandon it all togethor really."
"We secured it still." Lettie said. "I mined enough from there and recovered the remains. They are in the "krypt" honored still. A lot of rewards were gained from that. A comfort none the less what people think."
"Handing it over to the Alliance did help with some things." Hilda flipped a screen over. "Relocating those who lost their home on Kyneth. 78 marines and 13 sisters. 2,456,564 worth of points. 2,321 Followers." Hilda let it sink in for them before continuing. "The Stone elements and others are reshaping the place to suit their needs. A small group is watching over them to make sure things stay... ok."
"Alright." Azul showed a Plane nothing went well on. "The Plane of Kolbahan. We lost everything and only received a message before everything was wiped out. Moments after Lu Bu forces, Kasumi's forces, Rise forces left. They were checked and were perfectly fine. So.. what happened is the question."
The screen showed eerie green lights before large rays of lights descended. Azul peeled it back slightly showing a little bit of what looked to be Pyramids. The problem was, Kolbahan had flying monasteries. So it could be them as well in a way with magic.
"I do not know." Lu Bu said. "I did exactly what we were supposed to do. We talked and recived a few promises of speaking in the future. I left my forces to go and assist Bai Han in Mongseng. With everything getting distorted, I couldn't even respond to any of their cries till it was to late."
"And we couldn't leave the Relay. The place reacted weird with it. As well as my demons." Rise said not understanding what happened still. "They felt a strange feeling when we arrived. But nothing more than what we thought would happen in a strong Spirit Plane."
"I found none of the Tech we look out for." Kasumi said. She was on her way to get Azul when she left there. But arrived late and had to deal with Gatewatch. "I am really tempted to go back and clobber them. Or steal what they love the most." She had very angry look on her face. it was mostly to mask the loss of her forces.
"I think we can leave it be." Riku stated. Speaking for the first time really. She did not stay and left a part of herself to deal with things there. "As some one who lost a part of themselves their from being in your squad, I am sure my voice counts for something Kasumi."
"Yeah... a little." Kasumi sulked in her chair. She felt Azul brush her with his power to console her. 'I will be fine in time. Just, so many of my friends are gone. With out even having a fighting chance.'
"This matches what happened to the Cerebrus facility." Candace said. She showed them the footage that was provided from Azul's siphoning of the Reaper he fought, with the memories of the Geth human hybrids. "I think we can piece togethor a little bit now and guess on the enemy."
"Indigo..." Galtea mumbled the name. "It safe to assume a combination of technology from Warhammer 30k-40k, with Mass Effect Technology from the Reapers, and.. several World Shards from Magic the Gathering."
"Great... your psycho ex-boyfriend is responsible for the loss of so many!" Dyshana said. Her magic erupted from around her slightly. She was not happy having to return and not fighting with the others. Final Fantasy Tactics needed a hand of high magic. It was either her, or Jaina. And Jaina was needed more there. "We need to find that bastard and kill him!"
"Mental Cleansing lv7." Azul muttered the spell full force to relax everyone. it was about to get heated, which was not needed. Namely Dyshna and Lettie on his lap. "We should continue. Hilda."
"Yes.." Hilda blinked and announced the results. "A total of... 763,233,442 points and... 63,000 Followers. Nothing gained from the Plane.. The plane itself destroyed."
"We will go better on counter plans. Noting we could have done against a User using time-altering Power, Administrators level influence, and.. another Pather changing people." Azul stated. Quite a few of them felt things were better after hearing that. But, only a little. "Everyone of us has been checked, and our people in every World. Friend, Follower, Companion, and Users we know. That is one thing the Creator informed me of upon confirming some things."
"That is good to know. Now if we have any traitor, it is because they decide to do it on their own." Hilda said coldly. She was not trusting of a few people after returning. She just had a bad feeling. And with Kasumi so down in the dumps, it would be awhile before intel was picked up. 'I say Indoctrinate everyone.'
'We have been over this, no. We would slow done a lot more than we already are. I do not want to go through that again.' Azul thought back to her. Hilda was scared. Rightly so, but that was not the answer. If everyone was puppets, they would not be worth much.'
System: Paragon awarded. Resisting the Route of total obedience. User Azul has gain the respect of several Operators, Adminstrators, and Avatars. Additional World Shards awarded to Home World of Mass Effect.
"Wooom!" The entire room lit up. Blueish white light touched everyone. The residents of Mass Effect felt a throbbing sensation. Their connection to Azul grew over five times as powerful. Even the User Jane & Swift felt it.
"Hmmm, that is a lot of info." Azul murmured. He felt the connection with Mass effect a hell of better now. Secrets and places revealed to him that were hidden before. Despite the Traitor User Forces having taken a few World Shards away. 'I defintely need to gain the others. But that can only be done with time.'
"That feels really good." Chari said slightly breathless. She stood up from her seat. "I.. I am going to lay down." The other locals doing the same thing. Ruma gave Azul a look of lust that was not lost on anyone.
"I think they are going to sleep awhile now. Good job." Hilda smirked. She looked at Ashley who had a strange look on her face with Jane. "Go ahead and say what you want."
"I am sorry about what happened." Ashley said. "I thought things went bad there. Seeing you controlling undead... just was ugh." The image was embedded deep in her mind. "Then the Eldrazi thing... You got in the way despite how bad off you were. Then went down twice. Never seen you look so bad. The thought that could have been Jane..."
"But it wasn't." Jane said. She placed a comforting hand on her friend and Follower. "If Azul didn't take care of him it might have been me. And several others. Despite him gaining Eldrazi abilities, he is still the same, unfortunately."
"Hehehe.. that hurt." Azul chuckled dryly. He scratched Lettie's back to keep her from cursing the other User out. "I am who I am. Still growing in a way. Not like I wanted that to happen. Shit, glad my other abilities are so much stronger. If I would have went to that World when I first received the Quest, things may have been different but I would have most likely have changed into more of an Eldrazi and.. even a Phyrexian."
"I am very glad that did not happen." Elspeth said. Blaster Blader (Ahmes) nodding in agreeance. Liliana and Jeska also doing the same. Gideon and the others were out cold. They were sleeping the partying off. Which was funny considering when they wake, several surprises awaited them. "I will be ready in a few years to travel. So will Ahmes I think."
"Not needed. I have a different idea for you and the others." Azul gave her a serious look. "The planets I have here in my Nether World will need more protection. Each of them have defenses but.. more is always needed. Especially with what happened. And is currently happening. Will, you and the other Royal Paladins take the task of helping to guard the Nether World. Alongside with the other forces?"
"Of course!" Elspeth stood up and salute. Azul could feel the cheering from her people and several Royal Paladins on the planet far away in his Nether World. "We will not let you down!"
"I know you won't. But do calm down. I do not know if that is good for the fetus in your body. Considering how strong you are and all." Azul smiled feeling the energy leave her. "Never thought I would feel the Biotic Strands from a fetus. Definitely insightful."
"A fetus? What the hell is that?" Blaster Blade (Ahmes) asked. Another Paladin whispered in his ear educating the man on technical terms. "A baby! We are having a baby!" His voice was quite loud. Azul had to shift them away, since it was about to get hectic the room.
"Well, that was something." Mileuda said. Her gaze went to Lettie who was smirking. "Will you get off him already!?" Lettie just stuck her tongue at her. "You little brat!"
"Still older you. But you do look older then me, might have to start calling you auntie instead." Lettie teased. "Eeep!" Azul pinched her butt before shifting her off him. "No fair!"
"Slight punishment, little antagonizer." Azul gave her a smile. Before he could continue, some jumped on him. "Oof, hello Maldova. No... Lluvia. Nice to feel you to."
"Sorry I missed the meeting. But I am back. So are the Asari. They may still be a little giddy, and sore, but it will be fine." Lluvia biotic strands poured into Azul unfettered. She was more than happy with the results. "You are so strong my User. So very strong."
"You are welcome." Alita said with pride. "I do good work. Even when pitted against. So.. nesting time?" Azul nodded at her. "Good. I have found all who are involved and you are going to have bring your A game. No sex until then."
"Ummm am sorry what?!" Azul looked at the list and the long names. "What the hell am I, a blasted Stud on the farm!? This is a lot of people. Thought it was only supposed to be dragons?"
"They are all Dragons. The you in a few places made a lot of Laguz Dragons." Altina said knowingly. The devious look she and Claire gave, let him know they were involved in that happening. "I took over Goldoa with Almedha. When you gather the info there, it will be quite illuminating. Bring that big busty milf was defintely worth it."
"Slutty dragon." Claire said next to her. Almedha personality was quite different after she unwound herself. In public, very steadfast. behind close doors, a wild woman that took effort to satisfy. Quite a few female dragons followed her teachings when she finished with. Quite a few Goldoa dragons males were bedridden. "You are stuck with her and Almedha. But you were defintely happy. I assure you."
"I see.." Azul figured a few other places may have some things he would be suprised about. He turned to Lluvia who nodded. "How is it in Final Fantasy X?"
"Good. But the boost from you should help make things better." Riku answered. Ummm well about there.."
"What happened." Azul asked feeling it might be a headache or something simple.
"Lulu, is very attached to you. Like she dumped Chapu and travels close to you and the others." Riku scratched her cheek thinking things over. "I think Yuna only sees you as a close friend as well as a few others you have come across."
"That is fine." Azul didn't see a problem with it. "Wrapping things up will be the next course of action." Everyone nodded agreeing with no problem. Confident with the strength they possessed. "The me that remains in Mass Effect is more than enough to take care of things."
"I agree." Aurora chimed in from a screen that opened. She was laying in bed naked. Several Asari in the same state. "We will handle it with the others. No worries. Take care of the other places."
"I will head back to World of Warcraft. Much to do there." Jaina announced. She stood up with several others who cleared out before her. "Azul... stay the course still. I have a surprise for you later. Some info I just received I think you will like."
"Fwoosh!" Jaina left quickly after saying that.
"I think her Dragonflight will be very intresting." Alita said. Her eyes slightly dilated where Jaina just was. "Her magic is very powerful from her level up. as the 3rd on you, it will be quite amusing how they develop."
"I still do not like being the 2nd Dragonflight." Lettie pouted. "I say we have a rematch!" She declared to Alita. Who agreed with a feral grin. "I am gone some of you scales loose!" The two were gone fighting far away.
"Who will win?" Bass asked. He was sitting in a floating chair not to far from Azul after the place thinned out some. The seat rearranged bringing more and more people closer together. Azul smirked not answering. "Very well then. The netnavi's have developed nicely while you were away. An additional group have taken in the spiritual understanding of the way of Jedi. All of them have uplifted and moved to Africa counterpart on the Cyberworld."
"Ding!" A screen popped up showing thing to Azul. Everything looked fine enough to him. Bass did good work as the technical God of the place. Considering he is a duplicate of Azul in a way, it was interesting see him develop it this way with more logic and a little emotional input.
"I like it." Ruri said. She had a very vested fascination with the place. "I want to head there again, is that ok?" She asked Azul and Azul booth. They nodded agreeing. "Great." Ruri's formed changed to look more like a Netnavi. Basically a female Searchman. Just arctic white instead of green.
She turned into light and shot off to the Cyber World. Bass following behind shorty after.
"Well.. good for her." Jill said with a smile. She looked at Azul and winked. "I will see you back in Super robot Taisen. After you link back there of course for a bit." Her forces left. Natarle left as well. Slightly troubled by something.
"Fwish!" After a few more words, a large group of them left. Leaving Azul with Maldova/Lluvia, Hilda, Zelda, Alita, and Galtea.
"So.. what do you think of that proposal?" Galtea broke the silence. She was asking Lluvia who looked the most reluctant. "It would just balance out what you have already done a little."
"I am.. not against it." Alita said. "Jaina and I have a strange connection. So, wielding the Slannesh sword as well will not be that bad. When Azul is not using it of course."
"Khorne does not bother me in the slightest." Lluvia said. The everchanging Halberd appeared in her grip. "I will barely use it, so it does not matter if he ever needs it. You have quite the skull thrown build up. I can not wait to see it grow."
"Nurgle is not an issue for me." Hilda smirked. A pendant appeared around her neck like a choker almost. Inside two liquids moved. The most potent of Disease and the strongest of Vaccines. 'With the connection, I have with Azul, I have a better understanding than any of them when he is altered. Better behave you. First inkling of putting me in that garden and I will end you.'
Nurgle: Of course not. I would not do such a thing.
Nurgle was truthful in that regard. Hilda was a Forbidden Fruit that was the end of him. Several things inside her could rob him of his power and render him into nothing. Considering how Azul had that Milleuniem eye and Lettie had several, put the Chaos Gods on guard. As well as several of his forces having powerful souls that could do serious damage to them.
Nurgle: We are quite happy with his arrangement. As well as the champions that popped up in his Followers and Companions. Rocking the boat is what we do. And Azul has used a lot of his Pather Power to put us on that Path from messing with his people. But not him at least.
'It better stay that way.' Hilda thought. She was more protective of Azul than Lluvia was. But not Lettie and Kasumi. The Thessia sisters were a different matter.
"So, about the fight between you two. Everything square right?" Zelda asked Alita. The two smiled at each other. "Take that as a yes."
