Balor Comes to Town

21:07		Berenus stepped out of the portal. It was nerve wrecking, this was. The fact that Fiachra chanced it and just lazed around put the city in further danger. The God of Destruction himself was to arrive only 10 minutes by now, giving them time to prepare for the eventual final showdown between 5 mortals and a god. This was it.
21:07	Berenus	...The beach. Sunset. A very relaxing view, especially for what is to come. He sighed to himself, shakingly clenching his staff and looking back at the rest of the city behind the sandy hills. He cleared is throat. "Mortals... Are you ready? Balor will be here in just ten minutes. You must prepare your strategies as soon as possible."
21:08	Berenus	"Now remember. There are limits to when you use your Godwill... Since you haven't trained enough, I'd recommend only using 50% at average. Only use above that at total crisis. Now, more  than likely, Balor's Fomorians will arrive first. They will more than likely try to clear the city. Make sure none of them get past, otherwise, They'll spread their form...
21:08	Berenus	...to the thousands who live in your settlement."
21:08	Berenus	He pondered to himself for a moment. Why Neon? Why would he come to search this place, thousands of miles away from where he already was? It didn't add up... "Uhm. Mortals. If. If you can. C-could you try and maybe, find a way for Balor to tell his reasons of why he came here of all places? It'd be... interesting. To the others. I mean. Uh..."
21:19		Goodwill rolled back his shoulders. This training had the most noticeable change of all on the young hero, as he seemed to be taking this very seriously. "If you think he'll talk, I mean. Sure."
21:23	McGoFuckYourself	"Yeah. Whassa,t a deity of destruction or some shit? Yeah, totes ready. Absolutely." Prince didn't seem to be in the best of moods
21:23	Fiachra	 "Aye. The bastard talks alright." Fiachra stepped out. His eyes were black and his pupils were fiery, an indication that he chose to stick in his God State right up to the fight with Balor. "He was definitely a mouthful when he battered my entire clan. Hopefully he wont be the talkative type when we're done with him."
21:28	The-Haze	"Not to insinuate anything about myself here, but am I the only person that's bored? We've been sitting here for what feels like hours, and we haven't even gotten around to killing that Billy guy yet. What gives?" Other than the complaints, it seemed as if he was in a rather good mood. At least comparatively.
21:30	Goodwill	"He's on his way, probably." Goody shot back to Haze, keeping the amount of banter to the minimum.
21:30		Thomas-Orolanus was sitting on a rock, looking through his Bag of Holding, few minor things inside. Next to him was his Hammer, even though multiple gods told him it was a bad thing to have, he didn't care. "You'd think he'd be the generic Big Dumb Tough guy. Least thats what Saturday Morning Cartoons leads me to believe." His leg was bouncing up and down, he was exited
21:32	Berenus	"W-well. Balor usually takes his times with these things... He's actually not to be considered your average foe, shadowy one. The Dagda, although more powerful than him, had difficulty taking him down. He had to resort to using one of his greatest weapons in order to beat him..."
21:33	Thomas-Orolanus	"Well, the obvious question we should as is 'Why not use that weapon again?'"
21:33	Thomas-Orolanus	[ask*]
21:34	The-Haze	"It's broken. Just going to say that right now so I can say 'I told you so' if that actually is the case."
21:35	Goodwill	"Good to know you two have been training your stand-up game for this. That's exactly what we'll need, right?"
21:36	Berenus	"He... He doesn't care about you lot in particular..." He looked over to Goody with some concern to the topic he was about to bring up, because things were definitely fishy. But he wouldn't intrude. "...except you, Aengus. For some reason. Although that might just be because of your previous incarnation."
21:36	McGoFuckYourself	"Bruh. /I/ don't care about me in particular. And I'm /me/."
21:36	Thomas-Orolanus	"You remind me of my brother Goody, never any time for fun when you'll probably about to die."
21:39	Goodwill	"You don't really know that. Just keep it to Johnny." He said off to Berenus and kept his eye out. "I'd be a lot more relaxed but I'm actually getting worried this time."
21:41	Fiachra	"He's looking to give it his all. You should be doing that, too, lad." He scoffed at Thomas. He looked over at the clouds that laid still on the horizon. Except... they weren't still. They were shaking violently. Under them, storms brew in disaster. The waves escaping the sea became more violent. "Uh. I'd say that's him."
21:43		Berenus looked over at the ocean, and panicked a little. "Oh. Oh. Okay. Uh. I wish you all the best of luck, mortals. May your victory be strife and glorious... and uh. We will be watching over you. Uh. Good day." He suddenly ran into the portal in a hurry, and with it, it closed.
21:43	The-Haze	"If that's him coming, shouldn't we be taking positions or something?" He questioned, turning around to move at least a few feet away. However, he would still wait for a response to that line of questioning before doing so, asking someone a question and then just leaving would be incredibly rude.
21:43		*** Berenus left #covenger_rp
21:43	McGoFuckYourself	"Welp. We're all gonna fucking die."
21:43		Thomas-Orolanus took out a soda from the bag "Finally!" He then notice the storm and waves. "Oh. Looks like this is for later" He drops the soda back in, grabbing his hammer, slinging it over his shoulder. He walks next to Fiachra. "In case we do die, it was good to know you."
21:45	McGoFuckYourself	Prince gives the finger to the spot where the portal sat before.
21:45	Fiachra	"It was nice knowing you too, lad. Brothers who die on the battlefield together are willing to die for one another, as my father always said." He readied his sword. This is it.
21:46		Goodwill took Prince by the back and pulled him forward to his own side. "Don't say that again, got it? We're all gonna get out of this alive."
21:47	McGoFuckYourself	"I get winded walking to a convenience store. I'm not even from the right goddamn pantheon, man!"
21:48	Goodwill	"Man. Calm down. I told you. Even if things go bad I'm gonna make sure we're all getting out alive." Reassuring, and serious. Not a common combo for him.
21:50	Balor-	The earth was shaking. Balor's arrival was imminent. But, before anything happened. 4 Glass Pillars rose from the depths below. They were very visible, almost the size of skyscrapers... They all turned clockwise. And inbetween them, an eye, made of pure, dark magic formed. It stared down on them, almost judging them...
21:50	McGoFuckYourself	"Yep. Gonna die."
21:50	The-Haze	"This doesn't look very good... someone here has a plan, right? Going in without a plan would be fucking retarded."
21:51	McGoFuckYourself	"Kinda hard to calm down right. Am I the only one having trouble with this? I feel like I'm the only one having trouble with this."
21:51	Goodwill	"My heart is feeling like its gonna explode."
21:52	Fiachra	"None of us know how Balor works. We're going to have to think of a plan during the fight... Unless someone here's going to pull a miracle out of their arse." Fiachra wasn't energetic anymore.
21:52	McGoFuckYourself	"Y-Yeah." The angels wings pulled in towards himself. Or tried to, as he was still being held by Goody. "I can't exactly just dish them out like candy, y'know."
21:53	Thomas-Orolanus	"Bring it ya giant jackass" Thomas was joking on the outside, but on the inside, it was the first time he felt fear running into a fight in a long while. He activated his GodHood hoping to shadow it
21:54	The-Haze	"The only plans immediately coming to mind are cliched bullshit like coming at him from all sides that likely wouldn't work for dozens of different reasons." He states, crossing his arms as he looked off at wherever the thing was coming from. "I'm sure it'll go... decently."
21:56	Thomas-Orolanus	Thomas's eyes were now glowing the deep orange of God Hood. "He only has one eye right? Maybe his vision is limited"
21:57	Fiachra	"Look. The best thing we can do is just avoid him until we see his vulnerabilities. Scope him out, look at his muscle movements, joints, patterns... We can do this."
21:57	Fiachra	"Remember lads. The training. It wasn't all for nothing."
21:58	Thomas-Orolanus	"God Hood vs Some giant. What can he even do besides step on us?"
21:58	Balor-	And at the moment of peace, when it could even be considered peace, a wave of air pushed intensely against the mortals. There he was. Balor. Rising from the sea. Residue from the ocean depths slipped off him as he took one step onto the beach. He looked down at them...
22:00		Balor- took another step forward. And another one. And another one. He stood there in absolute stillness. There was nothing but dead silence from him. He didn't show any signs of attacking. He simply looked down at them... if it could be considered looking. His socket was completely black. There was no pupil. Just absolute jet darkness.
22:03	Balor-	"Two Hundred Thousand Years, your kind has roamed this world. You all looked for destiny. You all looked for hope. You looked for idles and meanings to look up to. Just to accomplish your existence. But you were blind. Too blind. You all didn't see that this world wasn't made for man. It was made for *gods*."
22:05	McGoFuckYourself	"So I'm off the hook then, right? Right?"
22:05	Thomas-Orolanus	"That why they all left earth and went to space?"
22:06	Balor-	He didn't respond. As if he was in some delusion. Not that he could be reasoned with.
22:06		Goodwill put his hands onto his hips and stared right back up. There wasn't any smart response he had cooked up. Just attempted eye contact.
22:07	Thomas-Orolanus	"Sarcastic Quips don't affect him. Great, thats 50% of what I do" Thomas was his normal joking self, but on the inside he was screaming
22:08		The-Haze looked up at the thing, his arms to his side, essentially just glaring at Balor. Wow, are all gods gigantic assholes like this guy?
22:09	Balor-	"I myself will take the honor of showing you that man must serve their gods. And after that is done, Not only will I take your settlement, mortals. I will take the world you claim as yours."
22:13		Fiachra was just muttering to himself. He couldn't take any more of this. Just this constant mouthing off. "QUIT 'YER FUKKIN BABBLIN, YOU ONE EYED PRICK!" Fiachra flew off in fury, glowing intensely with Godwill and burning with the passion to squarejaw this godly fucker straight in the eye.
22:13	Thomas-Orolanus	"And looks like we're going with No plan"
22:14	McGoFuckYourself	"God, singular, thank you. Kinda got that whole monotheism thing going on here, y'kn-" aww fuck here we go.
22:15		Balor- slapped Fiachra away with unexpected speed as if it was nothing to him. His eye glowed fiercely, and soon as he could, he went straight for the others, charging whatever type of godwill he was in hold of, in his hand.
22:17		The-Haze ran off to the side, immediately going to activate the god juice that he had been giving, hoping to loop around to his backside. Hopefully the others throwing themselves at him would give him enough time to get in close and get in maybe... half of a blow or something at some point in the future.
22:22	McGoFuckYourself	Prince just stared at the oncoming train. And was promptly plowed over
22:23		Goodwill steeled himself as Balor charged down at them. His godwill, wild and red, started pulsing out over his body, up into his arms where he crossed them over. Using the old trick with his normal powers he looked like he was trying to make a temporary shield to keep him and Prince from getting totally bowled down.
22:24		Thomas-Orolanus ran forward dodging the hand "Oh good, he was some sort of power!" He went through the legs, He jumped behind Balor to the back of his head, he was going to give him a wallop!
22:24		Fiachra was almost keeled over. He stood up, he could definitely feel something was broken. fuck.
22:26		Balor- took the hit from the hammer. It didn't seem to have any effect on him... he turned around in a blur and in a near instant, gave Thomas a hard jab.
22:28	Thomas-Orolanus	"Ah fuc-" Thomas went flying into the ocean, in massive amount of pain even the God Will was having a hard time covering up
22:31	McGoFuckYourself	"FUCK" Prince cowered, and pulled himself away from the titan. He clutched the battered iron scepter hard enough that his knuckles were turning white, holding in front of him as if the rod would somehow protect him from the rampaging deity.
22:31		Fiachra managed up enough willpower to start shooting projectiles of... godly will, at Balor, to get his attention at least from the others. They needed to figure out a way to strike him in a sensitive spot, he's too fast.
22:33		The-Haze continued to circle around the behemoth, still attempting to find a blindspot where he would be able to safely attack from. With the others doing their things he should be able to start doing his own very soon.
22:34		Goodwill burst up from the ground once Balor's eye would turn to Fiachra, throwing caution out of the window and trying to bash at his chest.
22:35		Balor- felt the fiery spheres belt off his back. But before anything could happen, He actually felt Goody's bash and was knocked back. It seemed as if he was getting overwhelmed.
22:37		Thomas-Orolanus exploded out of the ocean, using the God Will to propel himself at Balor, a hammer hit with a Godly run up
22:39	McGoFuckYourself	"Uhhh." Prince pulled himself up. C-Couldn't hurt. He hopped over and, holding the scepter in both hands, gave a whack with it. No god powers on it, but just good ol' holy relic smacking.
22:40		The-Haze shrugged and went in for his attack, leaping at the beast's back, claws claws coated with god goo as he aimed to possibly rip and tear at where he assumed the thing's spine might be. Never hurts to attempt to go for perceived weakspots, excepting the times where it was actually a poor idea.
22:42		Balor- was taking hits left and right. Thomas's hammer definitely knocked him back a bit, and Prince's battering was quite irritating. Haze's backstab was what tipped it, he was forced to use one of his triumph cards.
22:43	The-Haze	[Trump cards.]
22:50		Balor- eye turned from complete jet black to a surging green light that would normally blind any normal man. It was becoming larger and larger, becoming more violent and sporadic. And while everyone was close, a huge bolt of energy flew out of his eye in a fury, turning entire lines of the beach into molten glass. He had seemed to be standing completely still...
22:53		Goodwill was thrown back down to the beach. A large hole was left in the beach from the falling impact with smoke coming out of it where some of the Evo's clothing got burnt. That hurt. That- Right now he'd have to focus on getting himself together.
23:01	McGoFuckYourself	For the second time in so many minutes, Prince was knocked backwards. Wings crispy, and a couple of burnt feathers drifted along the breeze, but as his as was plastered to the ground from the force, he gasped. Managed to throw up a shot of those golden godlike sparks to divert the worst of the force, but it still hurt like a bitch.
23:04		Thomas-Orolanus managed to not get hit, he fell to the ground, but his eyes burned in pain. As he went to get back up, ne notice His hat was half gone "Oh that bastard!"
23:05		Balor- made the laser more and more intense, you could visibly see that it was a strain, as the cracks in his armor were lighting up. He started roaring and howling in the flight of the battle, trying to catch them in the laser.
23:07		The-Haze and that was the moment he realized that going for it from behind may have been the best decision he had ever made in his life, of course he fell off and hit the ground. Rather painfully at that, but at least he didn't have to put up with the most bullshit of lasers.
23:08		Balor- was making the laser larger and large for some reason... It was slowing down, but what was he doing? It's almost like there's as second phase to his attack. He coursed the laser straight for Goody and Prince, The laser practically taking up an entire sector of the beach.
23:16		Goodwill gripped his hand tight and focused every bit of his godwill into one point. Instead of powering himself or exerting it out there came a flash idea. Forming it, somehow. What he got from it was a totally featureless red spear, and before he could even use it he looked to speed away from the second volley.
23:23	McGoFuckYourself	Prince held up an arm in front of him, almost as if it would hold off the blast. He pulled his wings in, and wrapped them around him, feathery limbs sparkling with the bright golden energy as he cacooned himself.
23:23	McGoFuckYourself	A bright green flash of energy, and the laser enveloped him. And passed over him. The sand was scorched, and bits of glass on the ground as he unfurled the wings. The sand directly beneath him was untouched, as was most of the fortunate angel.
23:23	Balor-	The laser that eventually came to be the size of a fraction of the beach suddenly stopped. Balor was standing there with energy flying straight out of his armor like as if it was bursting inside of him. He shot his arms straight into the air, releasing all the energy in one go, engulfing everything in a 300 meter radius. Although it wasn't as bad as...
23:23	Balor-	... getting hit by the laser, it definitely hurt.
23:26	The-Haze	He attempted to block the blunt of the force with his arms, being carried backwards by it with great force. Essentially getting smacked into the ground like a plaything, it was stand, but getting tossed into it actually did hurt. Looks like he was going to have to step  his game up if he wanted to have any hope of doing any real damage to this lardo.
23:31		Thomas-Orolanus stabbed the earth with the angled side of his hammer, using it as a holding point, stopping his from flying away, but /fuck/ was he in pain.
23:34		Balor- chuckled to himself loudly. "As I said... Man must serve their gods. Since I am a merciful god, I will give you the second thought of surrender, making your deaths /much/ more quicker."
23:35	McGoFuckYourself	Prince, unfortunately, didn't expect the detonation, and was knocked backwards. On his ass. /Again/. Right after he was patting himself on the back for the thing with his wings.
23:35	McGoFuckYourself	"Uhhhh. Again. I got that whole YHWH thing going on, and I don't think he'd agree with that entire surrendering to you bit."
23:36	McGoFuckYourself	"Sorry, wait. I don't think He'd agree with that." Gotta get dat inflection.
23:36		Goodwill threw the spear right at Balor while he was chuckling and standing over Prince. Maybe it wouldn't hit onto its mark, but it would graze along his side if it managed to hit at all, a concentrated piece of godwill. He would hope for the best.
23:40		The-Haze hefted himself off of the ground, rubbing his head as he looked over at the rest of the group, or at least the most of them he could see if he were to look in any particular direction. "I know this probably isn't the best time to ask, but do we have a plan yet?" He would then attempt to go in for a second attack, mustering all the godwill he could into a strike directed at the big, bad...
23:40		The-Haze ...asshole's ankles.
23:42	Thomas-Orolanus	"Sorry big guy, but I'm not giving up to some loser like you. Someone who does this for a bullshit reason. 'gads sould be unber hunans.' I can't wait to see your face when we put you under us"
23:43		Balor- stopped his chuckling. The spear had fully pierced his armor, breaking it apart. What laid under the armor was completely monstrous. Twisted flesh and bone made up the surface of it's skin. This had come to a surprise to him, so much that he didn't notice Haze attacking him straight for the ankles.
23:44	Thomas-Orolanus	"Oh shit, he ugly"
23:45	The-Haze	"How did you make the thing?"
23:46		Goodwill blinked as he watched the spear open up the armor. Oh. Oh what the hell was that.
23:46	Balor-	"How. How is this possible." Balor slowly stood up, looking to Goody in fear and anger. "How did you manage to break my armor?"
23:47	Goodwill	"I just... I tried to form something from the stuff. Just a quick idea I had!" Honestly, if he could explain it better he would, but it was a spur of the moment idea. And the spear likely dissipated by now.
23:47	McGoFuckYourself	Prince pulled himself off the ground, clutching his holy relic.
23:48	Thomas-Orolanus	"Think the flesh is soft? Easy to break? Cause I really fucking hope so."
23:50	Balor-	"... No matter. I'll quit going slow on you all." Balor charged in at an alarming rate straight at Goody, throwing down a flurry of punches to make sure he made the point that nobody touches the god of destruction. He was quick on reflex, and his punches could be described as mountains being thrown at you at this point.
23:52	McGoFuckYourself	Prince stumbled a bit. Man, after like, three times of having Goodwill save his ass and still getting knocked the fuck down, this was starting to get repetitive. He tried sidling over behind Balor. Dude's pretty distracted right? M-Maybe he could sneak up on him. Goodwill could keep his own ass safe for a few seconds, right?
23:53		Goodwill panicked, and in that panic another one of those spears appeared into his hands when he called for it, this one darker than the other. The only option from here was to swing ahead wildly, perhaps to slice and skewer the fists that were raining down on him. Anything that could save his life.
00:03		The-Haze sat back, thankful not to have the thing's attention while he put his mind and will to form a construct of some variety, a projectile, anything that could prove somewhat useful in the fight against Billy the Destructor. He didn't have much of a plan beyond that point, but planning was never his strong suit to begin with.
