A Game of Gods: A Multiversal Challenge

Guarding the Doctor, Link began firing Fire Arrows into the mass of soldiers.

Lambda... is...helping us?

It was all very confusing, but he had begun to suspect that the silver Nomad had primarily good intentions – or at the least, good in the current situation.

He kept shooting.

A wall of shadow erupted out of the ground and cracked minutes later under the heavy fire power, the shots that did get through porkmarked Icarax's armour and stuck there looking like quills.

How......Elementry

Now that the entire group was under attack, Icarax had no time to mend his armour.

You should be honoured to feel the wrath of a MAKUTA!

Icarax charged into the fray swinging his bladed shield in tight arcs, shrdding anything within his reach.

Tau suddenly appears in front of Unicron. The Chaosbringer tamed.

You were not allowed here under code I-10-T-C-13-U.

He smiles. I'm sorry? Did you not read the rules? Every god of the Champion's universe should have gotten it.

He fires a giant laser from his hands. Exhausting. Won't be able to do that for a long while.

A black cloud appears next to Tau.

   So it is done?

Shame really. Wanted to be more than GARBAGE disposal.

Tau walks closer to check the should-be corpse. If he's not... We got real trouble.

Galen guarded Link's back; aside from the occasional Push, he didn't do much.

The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground

Mason was unconscious, the pain, giant robots and hole in his abdomen would do that.

They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!

As he was firing, Link turned to the Jedi beside him.

"Galen...."

"I am touched by your willingness to come back with me..."

"But I must dissuade you."

His voice was soft.

"I myself have nothing in Hyrule - nothing to offer you. You would be cut off from the Force, and everything you thought you knew would be turned upside down. That I think, is too big a sacrifice for you to make... I do not wish to bring the pointless and wasted existence fated for me on your head as well."

"And the Gods.... are not finished with me."

"But your wish... shall be done. And I swear by Farore, no matter what path you choose to take...."

"I will do everything in my power to help you on that path."

"Listen to my words, and choose wisely, my friend."

"I... cannot go back to where I came from, Link. I am already dead there; if I will return, it will be... messy. But I see. I would not force myself upon you."

The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground

He bowed his head.

"I.... I am sorry. I really am."

“But...perhaps there is somewhere else for you. Someplace better than mine...”

“Somewhere.”

“So...let us keep searching.”

“Searching for someplace better...”

“Someplace brighter for you...”

“Searching... for...A New Hope.”

Galen shot an acid glance to Bowser. "Don't." Was all he said.

— Were Mason awake, he would feel the numbness spreading across his body, odd little prickles where his uniform touched skin.

Even as Militantiaries were flung this way and that, those torn... stood. One of the things levelled a machine cannon at Ravage's processor, then cut loose with it. The things haplessly picked up by the Marut on the left drew their bladed implements, then stabbed their foe with all their force. For a second, the blades quivered, seemingly about to break, then gleamed, going on to punch right through the armoured plating. Those who did it with bayonets began firing into the construct.

From where the things had been torn, with either Marut, the little needle-pointed fibers snaked out, searching for crevices to infiltrate. Where they found none, the points began to stab and scrape at the metal, increasing their pace of effort to match the repairs. With enough fibers working at once, they would soon exceed them...

Facing the Marut on the right, the Militantiaries stared, their eyes glowing gold for a split second before raising their guns to fire once more. This time, a weird sort of bloody flame was attached to the various rounds as they shrieked towards the towering figure. Amongst the "officers", one skeletally thin thing in a jet-black uniform unsheathed his sword, the comm chatter consisting of snarled German. From down the hall, the sound of hundreds more boots slamming on the floor came, as well as a chorus of fresh comm chatter.

The beleaguered Militantiaries quivered in anticipation. —

Ravage raised an arm to protect his face from the incoming fire, grimacing faintly in pain as the bullets raked across the armoured limb for a moment...and then frowned in confusion as the machine cannon abruptly ceased fire. The cause for this became apparent a moment later as the Decepticon lowered his arm, noticing as he did so that the militantiary which had been shooting at him was now engulfed in a painfully bright halo of silver radiance; more lines of glowing and pulsing silver had etched their way across the floor from the main 'chain', and these new, smaller lines abruptly rose off the floor to become actual, three dimensional chains which wrapped swiftly about the soldier's ankles and wrists before pulling taut, jerking the cannon from its hands and leaving the creature suspended, utterly helpless, a foot off the floor.

"The Law of Lord Lambda is absolute," a voice like that of the two Maruts echoed from everywhere and nowhere at once, "as is the punishment for violating it. You were warned that harming the Champions was forbidden, yet you failed to heed this edict; now you pay the price. Hell beckons for those who would defy the Law..."

And with that pronouncement, a pair of massive, spectral jaws surged up from the floor to snap shut around the ensnared militantiary and nine adjacent soldiers, engulfing all ten of them within an eyeblink; the deafening groan of colossal gears grinding together filled the hallway with its all-pervasive tumult, forcing Ravage to clap his hands over his audio receptors to stem the considerable pain and keep from being deafened altogether, and then the jaws vanished in a sudden flare of light, taking the swallowed militantiaries with them into oblivion.

Though momentarily confused by this, the Headmaster's face slowly settled into the approximation of a savage, predatory grin as the implications set in. He did not know why Lambda was assisting them in this fashion, but regardless of the reasons it was clear that the silver Nomad was sparing nothing in offering them assistance and protection; if the militantiaries so much as lifted a finger to harm the Champions, these soldiers would then be eradicated by the power of whatever sorcery filled this place. They could attack with impunity!

"Alright!" the towering Decepticon bellowed, bringing a massive foot down on a nearby squad of militantiaries and crushing into paste beneath his massive metal heel.

The fiery rounds seemed to be having more of an effect on the Marut on the left, leaving blistered marks and bulletholes on its body, but even as it sustained damage the tireless machine neither slowed nor faltered, continuing to lay into its opponents with its massive fists; every blow of the left fist filled the air with a deafening thunderclap as the blow pulverised its victim with highly-concentrated sonic force, while every right hook threw back the shadows as caged lightning exploded around the hulk's great metal knuckles, electrocuting the victim even as it was bludgeoned brutally. Their attacks were wearing it down, to be sure, but the great golem was insensitive to pain and would not stop attacking until it was utterly destroyed; all the while its body continued to repair itself rapidly, overcoming the worst of the damage in relatively short order...and all throughout that noxious violet aura grew more and more vivid, as those necromantic energies continued to build up for a few more moments...

And were then released. With a deafening noise like the scream of a raptor shot out of the air, a shockwave of noxious purple energy rippled outwards from the Marut—and then every militantiary within a twenty-foot radius of the golem promptly collapsed like a a troupe of puppets whose strings had been neatly severed, whatever power which served to animate them snuffed out and consumed by this release of necrotic energy.

The Marut on the right continued to attack its opponents as well, heedless of the damage their fibres were doing to its armoured exterior; as it did so, it too began to glow faintly with a dim purple light, and once again those sensitive to such matters would be able to detect a slow build-up of necromantic energy...

Raz grinned. He slipped his goggles over his eyes and rushed at the soldiers, his wildly flailing psychic fists hitting like sledgehammers.

"You have more than enough potential. So tell me what is the one wish that would make your soul gem shine." -Mitt Romney, probably

Kimimaro fired multiple barrages of bonebullets at the enemy soldiers. Kisame let loose another Water Shark Missile at a cluster of them.

Durant and Michael fired their weapons while Spriggan went to reload his K3.

Icarax hacked through the militants with expert slices of his sword, this began to feel like a training exercise.

Rushing into the midst of them, Link began hacking and slashing at the Millitancies with the Master Sword, using the Hylian Shield to block some blows, and to counter some.

Galen rushed into the fray as well, guarding Link's back. His lightsaber made pretty patterns in the air as he twirled around, hitting soldiers and dodging bullets.

Mason began crawling away from the battle.
