RP Practice (Underworld Frontier)

[Keto]

Note: Events of this RP Practice unfold in Primordial setting (before Earth or Vestroia) so it is low-Bakugan setting. Events of this RP Practice will not impact Official Roleplay in any way unless requested and properly planned. This is being done for certain experiments- if you do not understand references or what is going on that is fine; more of these experiments will be done so it can be seen how some things turn out after planning. I plan to do this for some back info, but if there are people who'd join... well, I could stuff you in somewhere, but this will not have a different ending because of it.


They call it the Big Bang- event that occurred before time and gave birth to the universe. It is commonly believed among ignorant lower life forms that there were no other forms of existence before the Big Bang or that the event occurred on its own as a reaction of chemical elements inside the vast void they call Space. Two explanations often arise among the intelligent lower life forms- either the existence of everything was brought by a transcendental creature, commonly referred to as God, or it was created by the Big Bang; creatures that favor their religious beliefs mostly take the first explanation while those who favor science take latter. In most cases they ignore a possibility of both. Before time there were numerous gods who shared one transcendental place and they worked in unison to bring universe to life. And not just one universe- there were parallel universes which were created at the same time; often they would share similar qualities, but also have significant differences. 


According to calendar of lower life forms it was about 500 years after the creation of the universe that a new, odd one, began to form. The gods had a common name for it- The Underworld. Some of the gods referred to it as the Gates of Hell or Ash Desert. A vast space with only a shred of light coming from its permanently dark sky- what seemed to be a tiny sun radiating in bloody-red and barely providing enough light for visibility or for any life form to survive. The Underworld could only be reached by means of teleportation and could not be seen from the outside. Due to it having surface and mountains many believed it was sort of a planet. They were shocked to find out it was as big as one entire universe... a planet with the size bigger than universe itself? Ridiculous size. However, it was not a planet either- it was simply a place that seemed like a vast, endless surface, a giant desert consisting of ashes of the dead, dreadful-looking mountains guarded by gigantic mindless wyverns, pits spewing hellish breaths, occasional masses of liquid which reminded of seas or oceans, but it was all... tar... It was a disgusting sight and explanations for it were scarce even among gods- such creation could only be brought by a god. Very disturbing events began to unfold in the Underworld and gods became worried it could influence what they worked so hard for. Gods sent a group of their most-loyal servants from various classes to visit the Underworld and dispatch what seemed like giant lizards, some having a large number of heads- such described as Hydranoids and Exedras.

(Underworld)
(Theme)

Somewhere in the dark and silent desert of Underworld silence was, for once, broken and light shattered the darkness. A magic circle formed marking the Teleportation symbol. It was a large magic circle floating about 100 meters above the ground. Four magnificent beings could be seen spawning out of the circle and slowly descending on the ground covered in dreadful ashes. Their bodies were giving off a strong glow and their bodies could be seen clearly. One in the front looked like a very powerful knight in black armor. One on the left was clad in golden armor- in left hand there was a golden lance, in right there was a golden scepter, behind his back were six swords in different colors levitating. It was an excessive amount of gold on this second knight. On the right from the first knight was a lightly armored knight in white clothing. Finally, behind them was another one that was not as humanoid as other 3- a gigantic creature that seemed more like a machine rather than a living being.

"This is it. The Underworld." Knight in the front spoke silently.

"World of darkness, torture, suffering and despair." Golden knight continued.

"Why would gods ask us to ever visit such ghastly place?" Knight in white armor questioned.

Brief silence followed the question. The Knights were observing their surroundings. An entire universe dedicated to darkness and suffering- such diabolic creation. Only a god can bring such thing to existence and only a dark one would do so. Dark energy inside this place was off charts- it alone was enough to tip the balance of light and darkness in entire existence towards chaos. Knights could feel countless presences in vicinity, but nothing could be seen at that particular moment. Ashes on the ground felt alive and air was simply toxic- without appropriate protection any being would become tainted in this world and turn into a demented lunatic destroyer. "Gods themselves frown upon this dimension- what diabolic reason could there be for it to exist? I suppose they wanted to keep you in the dark before we entered so you may not have time to quit this mission, fellow knights." Knight in black armor spoke to the other three.

"As if we would ever back down from a divine request." White knight wondered about gods' silence to three.

"Our task is to find a particular creature that arose from this chaos. Gods call it Exedra." Black knight explained shortly. The rest were not as familiar with the origin of this mysterious chaotic creature so the knight took liberty to go on. "Being that belongs to a race known as Bakugan- some sort of newer lower life form that some gods found interest in." He explained.

[Keto]

"Exedra...? And what did it do to grab gods' attention?" Golden knight inquired.

At this point the black knight began to walk forward slowly and the other three followed. He could not sense the target for unknown reason, but according to information he received target was in the direction beyond Mount Dawn. Beyond the location guarded by furious dark wyverns. Exedra was hiding there somewhere- there were countless other signs of life where the target was supposed to be. Probably dark creatures of this pathetic universe. They were either hiding away Exedra's presence with their own powers or were a distraction for that rotten creature. Whatever the reason was it would not last much longer.

"Such beings thrive on dark powers- they thrive on chaos and negative energy. Numerous reports came that this new world of so-called Bakugans is often filled with chaos caused mostly by these beings. Aggression and violence are in their very genes- while very lowly intelligent they can become overly powerful and unstoppable if exposed to this amount of negative energy. I am yet to answer how an Exedra found its way into the Underworld out." Black knight wondered. There was no physical way for a Bakugan to enter a domain created by a god without another god's interference into that and it would have been found out in the very beginning, but there were no reports of another god interfering anywhere. There was no reasonable explanation for this occurring.

"These vicious beings must have been brought here by a dark god to thrive on darkness and emerge as superweapons for some terrifying purpose." The white knight assumed.

"A very logical possibility. Yet so mysterious. But... there is no time to discuss it. We have our orders and THEY are coming." Black knight replied to the white knight. They were moving forward and could feel countless dark chaotic evil presences heading towards them from every direction. Disturbing sounds of clicking, grinding teeth, choking noises and wails could be heard in vicinity and, what seemed like, a cloud of ghastly undead creatures. There were hundreds of thousands of them charging like frenzied mosquitoes at their victims. 

[Keto]

Before another word could be said dark creatures swarmed four knights. Creatures swarmed their bodies and covered them from head to toe. Knights could not even be seen anymore from the sheer amount of dark creatures covering their bodies attempting to burn, scratch and chew through their armors, but without any apparent success. After about thirty seconds without any knight being damaged or anyhow infected by this swarm of absolute weaklings the black knight expressed his slight disappointment at the first encounter. "Laughable..." Black knight said in a disappointed tone. "Ares!" He shouted towards the golden knight who was also covered under countless dark creatures.

"Understood." Golden knight, Ares, responded. "Light of Faith!" Ares activated one of his weakest skills primarily used against beings with dark nature. Holy light produced from these kinds of skills is like a deadly toxin- venom for bodies and minds of dark creatures. They cannot bear its presence- they run away on sight and if they stand too close their whole existence shatters and they may never be brought back again. Every inch of Ares's golden armor began glowing in bright golden light of faith. All of the dark beings on his body immediately disintegrated without getting a second to fight back. Light immediately reached a radius of 500 meters disintegrating all dark beings on other three knights and inside the radius. Other dark beings outside the radius attempted to get in only to be burned alive- after few thousands failed others escaped in blind panic at the horrifying sight of their worst poison. 

"If this sums up their plans on defeating us I will be highly disappointed." Ares said in mockery at the weakness of these enemies. It took hundreds of thousands of them to attack for these knights to even be able to read such insignificant power. No damage and instant death against Ares's holy light. Laughable... laughable indeed. "Dark beings of Underworld... yes, I have heard the rumors. Their intelligence is barely existent- they devour each other in attempt to rise in power. What we have witnessed must be the weakest kin that fights together knowing they stand no chance against stronger dark beings... We are yet to see if these weak beings represent the strength of darkness in here." White knight commented based on rumors he heard from other knights back at the home planet. Dark beings were not necessarily weak, but this kin- Shadowcrawlers were the rock bottom of the weak chart. There were definitely stronger ones, but can those grow to power that would present a challenge for these knights?

[Keto]

Knights continued to walk forward after the horde of demonic forces had been extinguished. They were closer to the Mount Dawn and odd readings were stronger. It was an unknown source of power- something that did not seem quite like the demons knights encountered moments ago; it was significantly stronger. The source was like a mountain compared to the demons which could be equivalent to ants. Though the black knight did not believe the source of enormous power was truly Exedra- he was informed of even greater and more wicked power than what was behind Mount Dawn; perhaps those were other forms of demons or Exedra's subordinates. They certainly did not feel like demons- power was different. 

Knights were taking their precious time walking slowly across the wasteland instead of taking off. They wanted to see the secrets Underworld was hiding within its layers- its monsters and negative energy.  "Since the moment we arrived I could sense disturbance in the land."  Ares spoke as he stared at the ashes on the ground. It felt like ashes themselves were alive and somehow connected to the core of all this.  "The land itself is formed out of corpses of these demons. What you stand on right now and this entire world was formed on the corpses of demons."  Black knight revealed.  "Surely you jest."  Ares replied.

 "I am afraid not. As far as gods know demons in this world exist in such numbers it is possible. The fact that we do not see too many right now must be because of their battle for domination. I believe they recently fought to evolve and many were extinguished. It is only a matter of time before new ones are born."  Black knight revealed disturbing news of this world's fate along with fate of its inhabitants. Demons born here have no intelligence whatsoever and their power, in most cases, is miserable. There are several kinds that are trickier than others and those mostly become capable of evolution as they do not die too easily and once they become stronger they are unstoppable. Such as the creation knights were about to witness. 

 "They fight to evolve- some of them do and become strong... strong compared to these demons we have encountered. I am sure you can see it..."  Black knight said as he pointed towards South-East. He could see it- creature weaker than him and incapable of hiding from his True Sight was never going to ambush them successfully. Ares looked in that direction without much alert. "Ah, that hill." Ares commented as he looked. There was a gigantic disgusting undead that depicted a gigantic walking corpse- Hulking Corpse. Early on these creatures can become invisible making it easy to avoid other enemies- they tear enemies apart and become stronger until they evolve repeatedly and become hulking corpses which also are capable of invisibility making it impossible for anything to survive their stealthy and gruesome approach. However, invisibility is not something that can prevent creatures far more advanced from seeing. True Sight is a passive ability that some creatures have and it allows them to see through invisibility, illusions, darkness and even if they are blind.

 "Unsightly..." White knight spoke in disgust.

 "I agree, Biel. Dispose of it, please." Black knight responded to his companion.

[Keto]

The gigantic corpse dropped its invisibility since it slows its attacks down.

Its left arm quickly reshaped into a giant claw and the corpse thrust it towards the black knight. Without any announcement the giant claw released a huge amount of blood and fell off. There were no signs of resistance from knights though. Corpse screeched in pain and it backed down in fear trying to escape the knights by reactivating its invisibility. What happened is that Biel- the white knight used his Creature Cleave ability which allows it to severe parts of beings under its tier at will; pick a part and severe it. Custom ability of a precise specialist. Corpse did not even expect for its part to be severed. "What is it you pathetic maggot? That stings a little, doesn't it?" Biel mocked the creature that was in panic. Panic grew even stronger once it noticed that Biel was following it despite its invisibility; creature was aware that it was not hidden and that it was tricked.

"Maximum Pressure!" Biel said. Creature stopped in its tracks. Its invisibility dropped. And then, all of a sudden, it released a painful and desperate screech before exploding like a ball of meat and blood.  "Laughable." Black knight said in mockery at the weak creature. Maximum Pressure is a weak skill Biel uses- its title says enough.

...And so... 2 hours have passed without encounters and the team was able to cross the mount

[Keto]

The power levels of significant difference than of the demons encountered could be everywhere. Surprisingly, there were no demonic wyverns around the mountains- whatever these signatures were have probably killed the wyverns with their immense strength. A few steps forward four knights had a clear visual on the area below Mount Dawn- a dark valley of ash and sand where numerous creatures could be seen- hundreds of them. There were gigantic dark-purple lizard creatures with long spikes growing out of their bodies. Some of them had one head each, but majority either had 2 heads or 3 heads each. Their bodies were massive and they appeared to be able of bipedal and quadrupedal movement. Their screeches and screams were ear-piercing. These creatures were devouring dear wyverns that were laying around. Evil and chaos could be felt just from looking at them- one could sense it from a mile away. Four knights observed and black knight stepped forward.

"Hydranoids- creatures that evolve into an Exedra." Black knight clarified.

At that point Hydranoids could sense four knights' presence. A few of them rushed towards the knights and got attention from the rest very quickly. A horde of gigantic evil lizards rushed at the knights with intention of devouring them just like those wyverns. It was shocking how mindlessly they attacked even though knights were giving off a powerful and threatening aura- these things were obviously not very intelligent to think of their own safety but they jump straight into death. Truly, power is the only difference between them and mentioned demons.
 "I take it gods want them dead, correct?" Ares asked of the black knight as he prepared his Light of Faith to cast it and destroy the creatures.  "Without a doubt. Though, gods have spoken of few anomalies among our enemies. Odd beings. These things act unintelligently, mindlessly and violently- if you notice any deviations from such pattern by any of them seize them instead of killing them. Gods would be most-pleased with such result." Black knight clarified.


Several of the Hydranoids jumped towards the knights. "No deviations here." Ares said referring to the aggressive bunch. "Light of Faith!" Ares said as he used his holy skill. Holy light spread around the knights. Hydranoids stopped for only a moment because of the strong light and then continued their attacks as if nothing had happened.  "Hmm? They do not belong into any of the evil categories? I was certain they would be fiends, at the very least." Ares said seeing that his anti-evil ability was not working. Apparently, these creatures were not evil by their nature- they were just really aggressive animals or something completely else. "If that is the case- Titan Pressure!" Ares said. Sword of Earth Element on his back began to glow. Hydranoids heading towards the group were pinned against the ground by force and could not move no matter how much they tried. Pressure applied to them caused their bones and organs to tear apart very quickly, loudly and violently quickly turning them into bloody corpses.


"Know your place..." Ares said as he looked at those pathetic things giving out their last shouts before passing away.    

[Keto]

"...Anomaly..." Odd knight in the back muttered.

In the meanwhile three other knights were taking on the entire horde of Hydranoids. Those things did not seem to stop in their tracks even after seeing immense power that was demonstrated on their comrades. Several of them leaped towards Ares only to be completely burned to ashes by his holy lance's light, Heretics' End. It is a special type of skill used against anyone who opposes Ares- hence called 'heretic' as Ares is considered as 'absolute solution'. The severity of hostility between Ares and targeted enemies amplifies the damage. 

Several Hydranoids positioned together and charged their attacks firing multiple projectiles at the black knight. He simply stood there taking all of the hits- once the smoke cleared it could be seen that their united attack did not even push him back. "Geas." Black knight spoke. All Hydranoids received an axe-like emblem colored in red on their chests. "Die." He said. With those words all Hydranoids began mindlessly tearing their own bodies apart- firing beams at themselves until they succumbed to the wounds they created on themselves. Geas is a very dangerous skill that completely takes over one's will and forces them to do as one of higher 'rank' orders even if it means directly harming themselves. Every attempt to oppose the command ends up creating terrifying damage on its own.

Biel, white knight, swiftly moved among Hydranoids without them being able to react quickly enough. He was scouting for any deviations in their energy and senses, but was barely finding anything. So he decided to eliminate all the trash first. "Blade String!" He activated his skill creating countless strings across the battlefield that were attached to artificially-created platforms that came in all shapes and forms. Hydranoids could not see it. They moved violently for their targets and walked through strings. As they did their bodies just began falling apart with clean cuts of the immovable super-sharp and tense strings. "Oi, Great Ancestor!" Biel shouted at the knight in the back. "Anything yet?"

"Deviation detected- north-west, spot Hydranoid monsters with blue patterns. Ability to use mid-tier magic abilities that these things are incapable of." Great Ancestor spoke with a sort of robotic calm voice to Biel signaling that the deviation has been found. "Initiate capture routine!" Great Ancestor ordered.

"Affirmative." Ares responded.

"Aye." Biel responded.

"Then I shall keep the pests under control for you." Black knight informed.

[Keto]

Ares headed towards the direction given by Great Ancestor. There were countless Hydranoids in his way and he could not clearly see what he wanted. "All-Seeing." He casted his special skill which allowed him to concentrate on the space he was looking at and obtain mental data on each creature's position. "Advanced Eye." He spoke as he activated another skill- it allowed him to see statistics of all Hydranoids- he easily noticed higher intelligence somewhere behind the group of unintelligent savages. There were three in total... in this entire battlefield. How odd. Were they part of this? Were they collaborating with the evil ones or were they forced to go here? Are they what comes before turning into a mindless Hydranoid? How did they keep their intelligence in this chaotic place?

"Out of my way!" Ares yelled at the horde before him. Instead of listening a warrior who is obviously very powerful for them they charge into the attack. Ares pointed his scepter towards the horde. "Maximum Flare!" He charged through the horde surrounded in intense fires. Any Hydranoid that would approach him would have its limbs melted off by intense hit. Ares's legendary scepter he obtained from one of the gods is not to be underestimated under any circumstances. As he 'melted through' the resistance he detected Hydranoids with blue patterns casually firing, what seemed, like magical missiles towards Biel.

"Great Ancestor, I've got them in my sights." Ares informed telepathically. 

"Good. They shall come with us- willingly or by force." Great Ancestor responded.

"Lower lifeforms!" Ares shouted at the three menacingly. "In the name of Heavens you shall cease your resistance and come along with us. If you choose to oppose we shall take you by force." Ares threatened. Three Hydranoids had frightened expressions- not something in common with others; others seemed to be berserk at all time, but these appeared sentient. Though they did not agree to the terms.

"If we listen... we will be killed by him..." One of the female Hydranoids hissed. 

"Hmm? Him?" Ares questioned.

"The Exedra- also known as Lich Hydranoid; the strongest of Hydranoids, undead, invincible... we may not resist... it is far worse fate to be killed by him than being killed by you... Just kill us and free us from this nightmare... If we attack... you must fight back..." Same Hydranoid responded with shaking in her tone- she seemed very tired and scared to be able to talk or think clearly in that situation. At that time all three desperately fired their Storm Blaster abilities towards Ares hitting him head on. The moment they witnessed no damage taken by the knight they all gasped in shock. "N-not even a scratch...!?" One of them panicked.

Ares raised his scepter. "Sanctuary! Hold Monster!" He declared with two skills activated. Three Hydranoids were captured inside a translucent white cube of light. Then each one was in their individual cube inside the bigger cube. Also they were completely immobilized. "As you said." Ares informed. "Greater Teleporation!" Great Ancestor spoke as the cubes with three Hydranoids disappeared immediately from the sight. "Package received. Now for the last mission." Great Ancestor spoke.

"Destructive Presence!" Black knight shouted out and a dome of dark energy spread around him. With that Hydranoids began to disintegrate in a radius of 500 meters around him until there were only few. And now that he looked around there were probably only 30-50 Hydranoids left with a distinctive feeling below the ground becoming more and more obvious. "Great Ancestor, please erase the rest." 

"Yes." Great Ancestor responded.

"Huh... something is coming. Brace yourselves, knights!" Great Ancestor noticed.

[Keto]

For a brief moment there was silence followed by tremors and shockwaves coming from below. Surge of chaotic and tainted energy crackled through the Underworld's veins and the earth below began to shatter and explode as a gigantic form emerged from it. A creature, a giant reptile with 9 long heads, four tails and one massive jaw in the area of its chest. It roared loudly and furiously with all its mouth releasing a frightening screech- almost as if death itself emerged from the ground to devour the life above. Its body had very similar patterns to Hydranoids, but it also seemed to be... rotten. Most of the flesh was rotten and even bones could be seen. Its eyes were glowing in deep red- it was not like what these Hydranoids were. This being's aura was truly evil. It was the Exedra- and in this situation known as Lich Hydranoid.

"I see the time has come. The gods have sent their minions to silence me. Good! It was about time to show them who writes the rules of the universe. I shall begin with you." Gigantic monstrosity spoke to the knights.

"Come to me!" Exedra ordered to his minions. Surge of darkness surrounded all of the Hydranoids and then simply turned them into dust- it would not have been an easy feat, but these creatures seemed to be willing to put their lives on the line for the Exedra. The dust flew towards Exedra and united with his body. The dust enhanced his body by a great amount. The dark aura began to grow to hazardous levels. "Once I absorb you... I shall become a God myself." Exedra spoke and then released beams of negative energy from all 9 mouths. "Brace yourselves! Ray of Undeath!" Monster yelled. The beams struck the ground and the mountain breaking them apart in mere seconds and surrounding the knights in dust and particles of darkness.

( Boss Theme )

[Merchant]

Among the chaos and bloodshed. Far off just within sight but not within hearing range is something young. Something small, with four heads. A little hydra watch the fight not only unfold, but cowers at the sight of Exedra. "Big mean spooky many heads." Speaks the little hydra. Very young in age. "Big and mean." The little thing pokes its tongues at the undead lich. Safely hiding of course. 

If one where to have a proper look at this little hydra they will see black and purple scales with a brown under belly. The little hydra has two forearms, and no hind legs. Each head with little sharp nubs for horns, and the middle two heads with extra long fangs. Two on those two heads poking out not too far. The claws will remind one of an owl. Overall there is snake like appearance to this little creature.

"Shiny two legs very pretty. Very pretty indeed. Please don't die shiny two legs." The little hydra sounds very sad at the thought of the heroes dying. "I think I can get closer. But I must go very high." The little Hydra looks at the nearby cliffside to the fight. There are plenty of small caves for the the little guy to hide in and watch the fight from a safe distance still. So it moves. Sneaking its way closer. Hoping to not be notice. Once it gets to the closes cave the little guy effortlessly climbs too it. Being both high up and a safe viewing distance. It has a better view of the fight.

[Keto]

Ray of Undeath struck the area where four Knights were. Multiple heads projecting multiple rays of pure necrotic energy that melts down flesh in most excruciating and disgusting ways possible and turns those who succumb to the wounds into undead were intended to strike against the four and turn them into powerful soldiers for Exedra. Four knights of immeasurable power in his grasp would, without doubt, be able to challenge even the Heavens and gods who sent them to this task in Underworld Frontier. Bloodlust in this beast seemed to have consumed most of what was left in its intelligence- it only knew death and destruction. Certainly, a being unworthy of standing before gods' emissaries and unworthy of existence within the gods' sights- its destruction was imminent. 

 "You dare to spit your filth over us, who are the embodiment of holiness, you loud, worthless insect?!"  Ares's voice boomed from the smoke. Smoke cleared pretty quickly revealing the four who appeared to be in a decent condition and no wounds caused by the Ray of Undeath. Ares's golden lance disappeared and was replaced by a golden scepter with a blue gem placed in it.  "If death is what you wish for then so be it."  Ares threatened as his body began to glow in beautiful golden.

 "Amusing... the crawler of this infested depth dares to challenge gods themselves?" Black knight said. The idea itself was ridiculous enough, but what to expect of a creature of darkness... 

Black knight snapped his finger causing light-green spark to appear and then its glow to spread until it reached form of an elegant great axe in his right hand. He slammed the bottom of it against the ground causing shockwaves and tremors to form in the ground.  "Knights! This rotten flesh wishes to challenge the gods! Let us teach it respect!"  Black knight said with a confirmation from the other three Knights. With that all four were ready to unleash their fury upon the beast- their weapons ready and with caution.

[Keto]

Ares swiftly flew towards the western side of the beast- on it's right. Biel leaped and landed on the eastern side- it's left. Black knight and Great Ancestor remained on the southern side, facing the monstrosity up front, without a hint of fear in their movement or actions. 

"Attack!" Black knight shouted out and then charged on foot towards the monstrosity. Even with massive and bulky body like that he is capable of moving so swiftly and elegantly. After reaching the 100-meter distance from the monstrosity black knight leaped and prepared his great axe. "Beta Sunder Strike!" Knight shouted. When it comes to melee combat superiority, this knight is definitely far more advanced than the other three and is capable of maneuvering heavy, two-handed weapons as if they barely had any weight or complex. What seemed like one swift strike were actually 3 well-timed and precise strikes cutting three of nine heads of the giant hydra. Heads simply collapsed on the ground once cut off and disintegrated due to passive effects of knight's weapon- Anti-Life Reinforcement which continuously damages living beings whether their life is classified as real one or undeath like in Exedra's situation. Damage continues to devour cut-off parts until there is nothing left.

The moment three heads were cleaved off three additional ones grew in their place and then one extra head for each one that was cleaved off making it 12 heads now instead.   "Oh, I see... it truly resembles capabilities of hydra and not only the appearance."  Black knight thought to himself. Normally an undead hydra should not be capable of regeneration... it just shows that bigger and darker forces are at work here. 

"Shock Force!" Biel said as he pointed his index finger towards the Exedra. A small spark was created on the tip of his index finger before releasing an bolt of pure force and energy. It made contact with Exedra causing the energy to course through Exedra's body causing an effect similar to electrocution.  "Grrr..." The giant beast groaned in pain, but not yet beaten. "Undeath Laser!" Exedra announced as its giant mouth opened up and launched one giant beam towards the black knight in front. The beam was big enough to guarantee some damage, at the very least.

Great Ancestor intercepted the Undeath Laser very quickly. Due to his excellent passive capabilities of quick-reading nature of enemies' attacks and having superiority in speed of reactions he was able to detect the accumulation of necrotic energy before it was unleashed.  "Holy Shield." Great Ancestor spoke. Black knight's body was veiled in white, translucent sheet of white that got hit by Undeath Laser instead absorbing all of the damage and leaving black knight without a scratch. Due to Shock Force enemy's charging abilities such as this one take twice as much allowing allies extra time to react. Holy Shield is capable of completely nullifying any dark-natured attack from one direction and storing that energy for an offensive ability that would be used by the protected ally- in this case the black knight.

[Keto]

"Pesky little pests..." Exedra muttered in anger.

"Stand still and meet your fate! Darkus Embodiment: Shockwave!" Exedra screeched as all of its eyes began to glow and the giant mouth on its chest screamed releasing a powerful area-of-effect attack catching all Knights except Great Ancestor who was in a safe distance. The amount of damage dealt to the Knights should have been huge considering the massive concentration of necrotic and force damage that was pressuring their bodies. Normally, it would cause those in range to explode like a squeezed cherry. However, Knights were not that weak to succumb to the damage from one hit even though it was an obscene amount. It was a wave of blackness that felt like absolute evil coming towards them- an omnidirectional shockwave that struck all the enemies in range

"Darkus? Huh..." Black knight muttered. He was hit by the shockwave, but did not show any signs of being hurt. 

"Creatures of Vestroia refer to them as attributes. Elements that define the existence split into six categories- Pyrus, Aquos, Haos, Darkus, Subterra, Ventus in addition with a Clear attribute that owns no elemental representation. Finally, mixture of six attributes- Dextra." Great Ancestor informed the black knight the moment comrade muttered his words. That was how these... 'Bakugans' named their elements. Darkus Embodiment: Shockwave is, apparently, a Forbidden ability owned primarily by ultimate Darkus creatures such as Exedra- those that can channel so much energy and negativity into one concentrated mass and release it to deal instant-kill as an area-of-effect attack. Luckily, its rank is way below the one of Knights and, as a result, they have not fallen. 

"I see. A Darkus predator... Ah. We have been in here for far too long, brothers. Let us finish our mission by exterminating such unsightly abomination." Biel proposed.

"Agreed." Ares acknowledged in impatient manner. He could not stand the presence of this arrogant creature who had no clue about the difference in scales of power. One of the Knights is enough to bring it down and four are an overkill.

"Exedra!" Black knight shouted at the creature. "This domain is not native for a Bakugan! How is it that you are here? Whatever your powers might be I am certain you are not capable of entering god's domain without permission!" Black knight questioned.

"Grrr... pesky ant... I have already received a permission and once I am finished gathering the power I will devour that same god!" Exedra threatened while flailing his tails in frenzy manner and preparing to unleash another attack.  "He... received a permission... Who... who gave you the permission?!" Black knight question again.

[Keto]

"I won't... say anything!!!" Exedra shouted.

Dark and disturbing energy began to form in his body again before releasing once more. Another shockwave of pure blackness that begins spreading in a form of dome and erasing any life it touches. "Darkus Embodiment: Life Negate!" Exedra yelled as the black dome continued to grow threatening to erase all four Knights. Even for the Knights it would not do well if they were hit by the ability of this kind. Their advanced armor technology would easily block any instant-kill abilities, but damage would still be taken. Knights did not worry too much about it and now that they realized a bit of information from this abomination there was only one thing to do in order to finish the job.

"You will not? Fine." Black knight said.

"To stand a chance against the gods' emissaries? Hah..." Ares mocked.

Bright light was shed from black knight's body and it pierced through the incoming darkness where any knight was allowing them to completely avoid any contact with the blackness. A massive golden cross was formed behind the black knight out of, what seemed like, countless shards of gold. The pressure from black knight's body caused all creatures who were not in his range of power to be pushed away mercilessly. That included the little hydra that was hiding around at safe distance. Distortions from the pressure caused the reality itself to bend and break which formed multiple dimensional portals across the distance of about one thousand kilometers. And this was black knight holding back. Little hydra was pushed into one of those portals and it disappeared, but it was not dead- it was merely transported... somewhere. Who knows where?

"Final Solution: Absolute Extinction!" Black knight shouted.

The cross behind black knight broke and then light scattered across this dark Underworld. Everything went bright, blinding the Exedra and within 10 seconds the Exedra... and about 100-Earths-worth space was gone... destroyed in an instant. In order to make sure the darkness does not leave or so anyone could renew the threat of Exedra... black knight was ready to exterminate a part of this dimension itself by completely erasing it.

[The End]

[Yes, anticlimactic, but I gotta end it however since I finished the test I was conducting and I am very satisfied so RP quality barely matters. I was testing how I'd be visually maneuvering a certain... element and it is great so I'll just end it here. Though, it is an element for current Official RP so it will not matter for my own RPs as I do not normally run- 'destroy-everything characters']
