sword of promised halp
Link stopped for a moment, head spinning - then dropped to one knee, the pain of his numerous and severe injuries clearly threatening to overtake him.
"And what... ugh ... what of you? What of you... Icarax?"
"You threaten... and attack... your teammates.... your allies... because of your petty rage. And... you see nothing... wrong... with yourself?"
"Darkness... obscures everything, Icarax... especially ... to the one who is consumed ... by it...."
"See the light... the error of your ways...."
"For you once served it too...."
"Let the light.... dispel... the darkness..."

"Can't die..."
Spriggan was once more caught by surprise when the appendage began to strangle him. He slowly and covertly began to secure his Karambit knife from his pants pocket.

Hope dodged the thunderbolt. Barely; it seared a large part of the exposed flesh on his right leg, forcing him to crawl slowly towards whatever cover there was.
"Yup. That tasted purple."
Okay, been building this up for a while... Here it goes!
Phi slowly resumed to consciousness as he began to remember the image again. This time in more clarity. A blue-haired man was clutching to his daughter's cold body in the middle of a snowy city. He could hear the man's cries more clearly now...
"Someone! Someone save Ushio!"
The last word he said before falling was to low for Phi to hear. Phi thought it would be over, but no. There was more. There was a flash of red light that engulfed the man. The man soon found himself in a White Void Room facing another man with red hair and red Tron Lines all over him. There were small Φs in his eyes. " Tomoya Okazaki, do you know you are here?" The red man asked him. Tomoya's mind was too broken to respond. " You would have died back in your world. I had seen what fate has done to you, and I don't think you deserve it. This is why I have chosen you as my Champion. You will play a series of games until you are given a chance to go home. Hopefully, I would have changed the fate's design..." The red man said. Another red flash as Tomoya was gone.
Again, Phi thought this was all he would see, but no. There was more. This new image took place several games later. The White Void Room was now in ruins, there was more red than white in the sense of blood. Both Tomoya and the red man were standing in the room, both struggling. " Tomoya... I am sorry I couldn't save her... I thought I could change the fate's design... please... don't hurt me!" The red man said. Tomoya however was blind with rage. He ran to him and grabbed the red man's throat. In a moment, it was over. The red man was choked to death. However, the body soon glowed, and engulfed Tomoya. Soon, he changed. His blue hair was changed to blood red. His clothing changed to more unusual clothes, a red tanktop, crimson short-shorts and black thigh-high socks. Phi then realized who he was looking at now. Himself.
" I... see... so that's why..." Phi said as he awoke. He saw Narumi firing at the monster. He then saw Icarax attacking Link. Phi took his gun. He knew what he had to do. He began to fire at Icarax.

Suddenly white cracks burst their way across Icarax's shadow wall, after a moment the wall crumbled revealing a rather beat up Icarax.
The fire that once burned fiercly in his eyes was gone and if someone where to take notice he would realise that Icarax's armour was full of rents and holes, a good reminder that the champion's attacks had done alot of damage.
"It wasn't me who threw the first punch..."
If the champions were to remember they would know this to be true since Icarax had gone AWOL after Subzero froze him in a block of ice.
"Yes, i did once serve what was right......but it was not satisfying to be kept behind the curtains........We had no recognition.....we ....."
Icarax looked at the chains that bound him.
"Light is strong".
Icarax tested one of the chains.
"But darkness is still stronger".

The rocks fell through the churning air elemental, doing no damage to its immaterial form whatsoever. The explosive fire tage did cause it to low in pain, but the effect was noticeably diminished; now that it was rotating faster and faster, its semi-anthropomorphic form dissolving into a towering funnel cloud as it did so, its cyclonic body had created a vacuum at its centre from the force of the rotation—and into this void the flames were sucked, rapidly going out in a matter of seconds as they were starved of the vital oxygen they required to continue burning.
Worse, the elemental was now travelling along the ground in a beeline towards the Champions, and the winds were now howling as the suction of this emerald tornado grew greater and greater; those in its path would need to get out of its way and quickly, or else they would find themselves picked up by this miniature hurricane and tossed about at extremely high and almost certainly fatal speeds. Anchoring oneself into place would not be sufficient, for the tornado's maw was actually tearing up the ground in the immediate vicinity, leaving a trail of fragmented stone and oozing ichor in its wake.
The Chichimec hissed in pain as the bullets and bone javelin struck it, and in retaliation it whipped its tail sharply in the direction of Kimimaro, hurling Spriggan at the former Sound Nin at something resembling terminal velocity. As it did so, yet another bolt of lightning dropped from the heavens to smite Narumi. It began to surge forwards in an effort to finish one of these targets off, but before it could do so an armoured fist slammed into it from one side and a deafening thunderclap rang out as it flew, squealing and out of control, into the nearest of the gully walls.
Lambda made to go after the creature, but then scintillating arcs of electricity erupted from its wings and shot towards him, forcing him to hunker down and brace his gauntlets in front of his face to blunt the force of this attack. He grimaced as the chain lightning struck, the force of its impact actually shoving him back a foot or so as tongues of electricity played across his form in a deadly display of fireworks.

Kimimaro ducks under the airborne Spriggan, and he & Kisame leap to the side to avoid the incoming Elemental. Kimimaro stomps his foot, and from beneath the hardened ichor that is the floor rise two huge hunks of stone, which break apart and become a barrage of high-velocity forearm-sized spears flying at the Winged Beast.

Phi sees the lightning bolt heading for Narumi and ran towards him. " NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Phi said as he pushed Narumi out of the way. It was too late to move out of the way for him though, and Phi got shocked by lightning. He fell and writhed in pain. Narumi saw this and immediately pulled out his Skull Memory. He placed it in the Skull Magnum.
SKULL! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
"Skull... PUNISHER!" Narumi shouted. Instead of a large bullet, Narumi fired a giant skull shaped bullet at the Chichimec.
"SHIIIITTTTTTT!!!!!!!!"
Spriggan yelled at the top of his voice as he was hurled from the appendage.

Sub-Zero snapped out of the dazed state the lightning left him in. He picked up the half-melted remains of half-formed ice grenades and used them to form two more ice grenades. They would form faster, but they would be a bit weaker than normal.

"What the-?" said Sub-Zero. He nearly lost concentration on his ice grenades, but managed to refocus before they could drop to the ground again.

Rey managed to gather up his gun and start out of the way, but he was still coughing and wheezing slightly, it seemed apparent Icarax's attack had done some amount of damage.

Sub-Zero tossed both ice grenades at He Who Cannot Be Spelled (read: the abomination). Then, he began forming yet more of them.
If the grenades slow him down, even the slightest bit, he thought, that might help Rey throw the shadows at him.

"OOF!"
Spriggan eventually landed on the ground, covering his head with his arms.
After being on the land, the TGS agent slowly got up while feeling the brunt of the pain of being hurled like a baseball.
Preoccupied as it was with attempting to electrocute Lambda, the Chichimec had no time to dodge this deadly barrage of spears; it screeched and flinched repeatedly as the bony shafts struck it again and again, puncturing wings and stabbing into the unseen core of its body so many times that the malformed monstrosity resembled nothing so much as a giant pin cushion by the time this attack was done. Seconds later Narumi's skull-shaped projectile slammed into it from the opposite side, causing it to loose an ear-splitting trill of pain as the bullet exploded and took out a large chunk of its wings.
Severely weakened by these attacks but not defeated just yet, the creature called down yet another lightning bolt—this one aimed at Kisame from slightly behind to catch him unawares—and tried to flee; however, at that precise moment it was struck by Sub-Zero's ice grenades, and the frigid cold slowed it down considerably. This was all the opening that Lambda needed; lowering and uncrossing his arms, the argent Nomad took a step forward and let out a faint snarl—a sound that was rapidly eclisped by a sudden and high-pitched whine as two scintillating beams of silver light shot forth from his eyes, crossing the distance between him and the Chichimec in the time it would have taken one of the Champions to blink.
These deadly rays punched clean through the creature's center of mass in a brief but intense spurt of grey-green ichor, wringing a gurgling hiss from its unseen mouthes as its wings came to an immediate and abrupt halt. It hung there for a moment, suspended by an unseen force, and an odd noise like static on a television set issued forth from its ruined body as it slowly began to dissolve and disintegrate into tiny green particles of some strange matter from the tail on up; within a minute, nothing remained of the Chichimec but a bilious stain on the wall behind it and a smattering of tan feathers scattered across the gully floor.
Without the abominable magics of the horror that had summoned it, the air elemental was unable to maintain its presence within this plane of existence. It groaned in dismay and irritation as the winds which formed its cyclonic body began to disperse, its power broken and its strength fading rapidly. Soon, it was gone, leaving the passage empty and quiet but for the breathing of the Champions and their Nomad allies.
After taking a moment to inspect his gauntlets and ascertain that they were still intact and functional, Lambda nodded in satisfaction and began to walk off towards the far end of the gully. "Come," he called, not even bothering to glance over his shoulder as he made his departure, "there is little time. The sounds of battle will surely have attracted other, more powerful beasts, drawing them to this location; if we wish to survive and reach our objective, we cannot afford to remain here and lick our wounds."
The Danse Macabre Codex
Narumi, knowing the battle is over, slumps to Phi's side. "Phi, are you hurt?" Narumi asked. " I'm done... I'm sorry I can't help you now... That blow... I'm so sorry... I'm finished..." Phi said weakly. "Wait, you can't die!" Narumi said to him. " Nah... I would have died anyways... By Kisame's hands... or by my own... I grown tired of being a Nomad all my life... I now want to settle down... return to my old life... Did I ever tell you that I used to be a champion?" Phi said. "Don't die yet... We're close to the end..." Narumi said, lifting him up. "Besides... If I can keep going after so much abuse, you can too!" Narumi said, holding him on his shoulder. He carried him and followed Lambda.

Sub-Zero turned to follow Lambda, continuing to form his ice grenades.

Rey managed to pull himself to his feet, holding his throat, wincing a little, but following after the others, a little slower.

Spriggan went alongside Rey. Durant, Michael and the Black Stig followed along.
"And what are you? Lambda? you should be proud of yourself all dignified and just; but I see through that empty shell that is your mind, you are hollow and black within surely after betraying and killing all of your kind you should feel satisfied?"
Icarax paused.
"And now you would come and teach me a lesson on behaviour after you yourself threatened this universe with destruction during a temper tantrum. I do not fear you Nomad though you are, you are nothing and you know it; do with me what you please since you love getting everything your own way".
A dome of shadow sprang over Icarax and it would not break however hard they hammered it.
