The once great city of Zuma, now destroyed almost completely. The streets were empty, buildings were crumbling and the flames of war still burned slightly upon the city. The battle of Zuma had just ended not too long before Disorder had finally decided to show up with the little girl in his arms.
They had flew up and over the mountains instead of going straight through them. Disorder had decided to go sight seeing while he was gliding about the Black Mountains. They ran into a few creatures while passing over the mountains, but nothing Disorder couldn't handle. Upon passing the mountains, Disorder increased his wing span and created a great shadow of darkness below him as he flew, completely blocking out sunlight as he headed towards Zuma.
Before Disorder was spotted entering into the city, snow began falling softly. Disorder wrapped his energy wings around himself and the little girl forming a solid black ball of energy. The both of them drifted for a minute then went speeding down toward the city. They hit the city center, creating a good sized crater.
After the smoke cleared, the black ball slowly faded and there stood Disorder with the little girl standing beside him.
"Alright little one, go get Hinsaa."
Disorder took a seat in the crater as the snow kept falling around him softly. He then lifted his right hand up above him and slowly formed a fist. His eyes began to turn a soft milky blue as the air about him began turning a light blue. Ice shards began forming, falling then stabbing into the ground. Slowly they got bigger and started shooting up from the ground they had stabbed into.
Disorder let his hand fall back down to his side and he looked around. About 13 ice crystals were pointing upward from the ground about 20 feet into the air. Disorder sat, waiting for the little one to bring back Hinsaa as Zuma began to get colder.

For reasons unknown, He remained. Sitting before his black chains as they had taken on a rather intricate form: a map. Not of Zuma, no... but the world. Several spots were set ablaze with a flame no stronger than what one might find upon a candle... Hinsaa’s eyes closed as if he were either sleep... or in deep thought.
“...”
His eyes opened as the girl stopped in the distance. Snow began to fall... and in recognition Hinsaa let off what one could call a grin, though briefly, lasting until the pyro was on his feet, his chains darting to his feet and slithering up his legs... back around his neck where they decreased in length and hung loosely like a necklace.
“...I suppose... it’s time to go.”
For a change, the child spoke normally. No more did his thoughts exhibit his sanity but now he outwardly displayed it. It seemed the child only spoke like a maniac during battle. Now? He seemed calm, neutral... a little peaceful. Drastically different from his former attitude.
He walked towards the girl, stopped on one knee, and let the girl climb onto his back. He then stood and continued on to Nex...who he’d soon greet with his mere presence. Words were nice and all...but the “cooler” thing to do here would be to simply make a daunting appearance. Like most badasses do...

Disorder sat tossing an ice cube he had created up and down. When he saw Hinsaa approaching he threw the ice cube at one of his 20 foot ice shards. The cube shattered and bounced off a few more shards before hitting the ground. The snow slowly kept falling, covering the ground, buildings and everything else little by little.
Disorder ran his fingers through his hair and looked at Hinsaa as he approached with the little girl hung onto him. He stood up and brushed some of the snow off of him, before focusing his attention to Hinsaa. Disorder gave a nod recognizing Hinsaa was here and that his babysitting duties were over for the time being.
"She beat me in hide and seek..."
He said it in the laziest tone, to the point where it sounded like he didn't care, but yet he wish he could of won. He stood looking off into the distance.
"Who did the killing here?"
Disorder folded his arms and kept looking around as he hadn't paid much attention to the place until just now.

“...; XD!”
He chuckled at the very thought of it.
“...Not me. I overestimated everyone here. They all died before I could even stand.
The snow began to melt, until there was effectively a crater of bare earth underneath Him, and an aura of steam surrounding the pyro. Needless to say no more snow would be coming withing spitting distance of the kid, let alone touching him. The girl remained unharmed, curious though, of Hinsaa’s change in attitude. Hers grew more severe as well, surely because of Him's sudden shift that which easily dictated hers.
Uh... In short? Hell yes, it pissed him off that the he was only able to kill ONE guy. Despite him being the leader. After this thought passes through his mind, he continues to answer Disorder's question.
“...Shin. Shin killed them all alongside “Riot”. It was pathetic, really. “Riot” and Shin had numbers and experience against some Elven leader who had neither...”
Something peaked his interest while talking; the word “elven”. Once spoken, He thought about Apollo’s words and how He... had essentially killed one of his own kind.
...Then He smiled.
“But it was sorta fun, nonetheless. I was gonna keep a head or arm, but I ended up burning him into nothing. I should’ve kept a jar handy... could've made it a gift. ”
He then sighed. A disappointment for him, at best. A feeling that made him want to kill more... as means of “redemption”.

Disorders eyes didn't change much. He was surprised that Hinsaa didn't kill them all, it was his job to kill everything and everyone. Disorder held out his right hand and Deformed Beauty turned into an almost liquid like substance. It ran across Disorder's forearm and into his hand and formed a jar. On the front of the jar looking directly at Hinsaa was the Deformed Beauty's eye.
"Well I keep a jar on me at all times."
He was slightly mocking Hinsaa and picking with him. The sword turned back into a liquid like substance then moved back to Disorder's chest where it rested pulsing slowly. Disorder looked about.
"Wait, so you're telling me you didn't cause these flames?"
Disorder was curious as to what him and the girl had missed while they were busy playing hide and seek in Babylon. He shifted slightly, but kept his overall stance. The temperature was dropping in Zuma slowly, but surely. The temperature around Hinsaa on the other hand was rising. <_<

Hinsaa nodded.
“I shouldn’t have overestimated them. Shin beat me to the punch, without even needing to gauge his foes. I guess his instinct drove all of his decisions... sorta reckless, but effective.”
He folded his arms...
“...They beat me to the punch with the flames as well. It was crazy!”
...and began to smile at the thought of the devastation.
“I didn’t serve much use as a weapon here. Maybe in the next battle with Shin I can prove it.”
Next battle? Yes---something about Shin made Hinsaa want to continue working for him. His pay? Death. The killing of many, the "joys"of battle... the escape from boredom. Material things mattered little to the pyro, he just wanted to kill, and have the backing of a large army in case he got in over his head. (Then they're their problem.) He had limits too, after all...
“I suppose you had fun babysitting... eh? I’d rather have watched her than fight a battle that ended shorter than the time it took to set the thing up. Tsch.
...So tell me, Nex, what do you plan on doing here? It’s not like you to just roam without reason...or blood.

"I'm on limited time, I'm sure you know that, Sangai must have told you. It won't be long before I'm in a comma state again for awhile to recover my lost energy of being awake and active....."
Disorder didn't bother to say much about his name, it's been awhile since someone called him by his real name.
"....the babysitting was eh..<_< Shes good at hide and seek. Anyway! <_<"
Disorder didn't wanna get on the subject of what happened, he lost to a 7 year old.
"I'm just tagging along, hopefully I might get a kill in before I'm out again."
Disorder pulled the eyeball from his chest and stared into it. He then just let the eyeball fall, heading towards the ground, but his swords quickly snatched it back up. Disorder didn't really seem satisfied, the look in his eyes explained how much time he had left and how long he would be out. With the way Disorder spoke, you would think he had a disease or defect. >.>

Hinsaa’s eyes darted sharply to the left. ...There was nothing...
“...I almost forgot about you...”
It seemed that way, but it HAD to be something; it literally pulled Him out of the conversation. The girl also looked towards that direction, blankly, as well.
“...” “...” “...” “...” “...”
He then looked back to Disorder and shrugged.
“Well, let’s make a game out of this, then. ...Interested? It’s better than waiting around and doing nothing, plus, it should cause a bit of mayhem along the way. A little confusion and fear for the little people now and again keeps them in check...”
The girl then looked to Disorder, though her eyes didn’t last long before traveling left yet again.

Raising his left arm, a jagged pillar of stone lifted behind the pyro.
“...Let’s call this... a ‘Killing Game’...”
The pillar had a line dividing the stone in half. One side had a crystal of snow in it’s top-center, the other held a single flame there.
“What? ...It’s a scoreboard.”
Anyway. Killing “normals” is easy. So they won’t count. I’m talking about the others... (OOC: basically PC’s and NPC’s), who actually know what they’re doing. ...Hopefully...”
He sighed at the thought of his previous foe.
“First person to three kills wins.”
A killing race...?
“The award can be thought up later. My original idea was money but... there’s gotta be something better out there. If it is money, though... we need to make sure those we kill, are robbed blind. ...Even though they’re dead and can’t see anywa----eh, you know -_-.”
"Interested?"

The rumbling of Zuma was far fetched to the young demonic warrior, 700 men had died in the garrison, and others joined them along the empty streets of the city. Was it right? He asked himself, still confused whether or not fighting for Riot was the correct course of action to take. Jericho was an enemy now, which he knew. But it still didn't settle well in his conscious.
He had left his men to take anything they could, the gold, anything. It didn't matter what, even the cold or copper rings that adorned peasants clothing was taken to only be later sold or worn.
The entire city was but a shackle of burnt wood and metal, cloaked neatly by the rising ashes of fires, even crystal like pillars grew now, which is why he had even began his walk in the first place, to investigate it.
But apart from the chaos that cloaked the remaining prisoners, and that the city was a simple ruin, everything looked good. Apollo had been killed by Hinsaa and his entire fleet had been either killed or assassinated. Some even killed themselves with terror among their faces.
His eyes naturally swirled along the marbled floor, a man's face wide and expressive, hinting the emotion he knew as 'shock'. How could people feel shocked by death, when he looked back all he remembered of such a thing was tranquillity, until that cloaked man dragged him into a reality of pain and suffering.
The ground had split ahead, and then continued until curving a crater into the ground; in the middle were three people, an unknown man, Hinsaa and a small girl. Had he the lips to smile with, he probably would of. But instead he merely lifted the pace and hurried to the three-some.
"What's all of this?" He asked, quite genially, his metallic face hadn't quite inspected the new comer, too fascinated upon the icy shards that glistened around him. He could feel his suit shine with it, light and crystals, even ice crystals always radiated his energy and strength, as fire merely made him enjoy life, nothing elemental weakened him, only obviously a large tank of water and a secure lock.
"And you may you be?" the question was directed at the little girl, before his eye caught hold of the board they'd crafted with ice and fire, it had some form of coding on it, that represented something, he didn't know what, but he shrugged it away regardless of finding out.
"Anyhow, although I haven't quite had the pleasure to meet you…general. I am Shin Ishikin, and it appears you already know Hinsaa." He paused briefly.
"The city is at a ruins as your both aware of, and I believe it'll be time to re-construct the damage we just forged, if you wish to create craters people, then there's a mountain region, forge a crater big enough to make a mountain passage from. Apart from that, I'm waiting on Riot the Azul to begin his preparations."
*yeah sorry Hinsaa lol, seems we all gonna have to do a post.. just destroy stuff n make the city demonic looking.. fire is always good.*

The girl’s head turned, showing Shin her white pupils that drowned in the darkness which were he eyes. She displayed a haunting emptiness, one which exuded a certain aura of depression which Shin could quickly feel.
“Hi.”
Then she spoke, out of courtesy. Shin would learn... quite soon actually, that the girl wasn’t as talkative as she should be. And this wouldn’t be changing anytime soon, regrettably. The young girl turned her head as Shin neared, eyes narrowing... though only a slight bit. Off put, in a sense, by the uncanny coolness of the unknown entity, nearing Him and Disorder, something which she normally saw end in a rather bloody fashion but for some reason, Him didn’t move.
It was obvious that this girl wasn't the type to question what Him did, nor was she the type to bring up a new conversation (even with Him), especially if she could avoid it. This is why she simply looks at Him, in an attempt to read his expression to better know what’s going on. After such? She looks back to the one known as Shin...
“You mean... demolition? If it were people in the way I’d be completely for it. But otherwise... I’d rather not. Besides...”
Hinsaa then looked to his left, and there, an obscure figure would make himself seen by all. Aria. Who, was actually visible but surrounded by a illusionary field that made others see an empty spot where he was. In other words? He disguised the area around himself and this disguise essentially fooled anyone looking into that area. He, too, was at the battle with Hinsaa under this illusion, however he never found a place to “cut-in”.
“...He could use the work-out.”
After all, Aria was essential for moving massive objects around with his music. He could do the job alone, his “moving” melodies easily able to cover any job Hinsaa could’ve done, several times better, even.

Disorder sat looking about, his comments were limited as his mind was drifting off slowly. None of this talk interested him, but at least he had his questions answered by Hinsaa for the time being. He looked up at Shin then turned his stare up and down his shiny armor. Disorder cnsidered too bright for him as sunlight reflected off the ice crystals, then off Shin's armor.
Deformed Beauty shifted upon Disorders chest at the mention of altering the city. The teeth began to rotate and grind against each other as the eye in the center of his chest glared at Shin. The snow was still falling and already the city was taking on a winter like look as the ice shards began to increase in size. The grew from 20 feet to a stunning 50 feet. It appeared as though if they were left unchecked that a building would form from them as they slowly began to merge as they grew.
"I am Disorder."
Disorder kept his sentence short, simple and straight forward as he spoke to Shin. There wasn't much to say at the time being anyway. Disorder let his focus go off into the distance as he would just listen to Hinsaa and Shin speak. Not much of it was of his concern really.
Disorder didn't pay much attention to the score board Hinsaa had brought up either. He wasn't really into races, but more into destruction. He gave Hinsaa a nod, what did that nod mean? Heh, you'll jsut have to guess.

Azul the Riot.. Zuma Midnight
" Fog and Death..shroud my new city. Although the fog is clearing, it is night yet again for the mountains aid us and shadow the sunlight out."
Already, the soldiers had taken care by grabbing the bodies of the dead and forcing them onto stakes outside the city and onto metal poles placed upon the walls. Ravens clouded the air, swooping down and perching upon the bodies to take a meal and then leave, only to return again once more. For over a thousand bodies litered the area, all being placed around the outskirts of a city to ward off any wimps that were gonna try and enter a city of demons and blood.
Only the strong and cunning were allowed.
Demons had already traveled, taken their ultimate speed to come down from the mountains and enter the city, forcing themselves into a dealing to which they never suspected. It was not a cult, not a religious force, not even a rebel cause, but it was a force..a mighty group that had come to storm this world and take it by force. If those that disobeyed would be slain or pushed from their ways, those that submitted would not see their bodies being slain to bits and peices then eaten by demons.
These demons also feasted upon the bodies, some were lured in and decided to stay once seeing that the city was now a place for demons only. A place for those of darkness and smite, those that were blessed with darkness and would crush those that were blessed with holy purity. Now, the soldiers were patrolling the area taking the rubble from the collapsed and burnt houses and putting it in the mountains, carrying it up there by hand with their bulk and strength and placing it in a cave. It could be used later has resources.
Azul who had taken it upon his self, to take the large manor citadel to which the lord of the town had been resting in peacefully, sat himself upon the throne and looked down upon the blood soaked areas. When he had entered after the battle, he had to slay the man upon the throne and his servants were slaughtered and killed all being used to feed the new demons that arrived and then some being cut and placed in storehouses.
The red flags, to which had been used to dazzle those that entered were torn down and replaced with black and with blood color stripes going down them. A flag of black, was placed upon the citadel replacing the white to which was used to say "purity" has if the lord of a city, actually was that kind and nice to his people. All kings, had to use evil to gain themselves and advantage and Azul had done just that himself.
Standing up from the throne, the cloak shadowing him once more with the cloth hiding his face and his swords which were soaked with blood being sheathed, for he had no use for them at the moment. Stepping forth, his cloak touching the ground and trailing behind has the doors slashed open and the crowd of demons that had taken the city were waiting for him, all bowed for he had rewarded them for coming with food. Which was their most favorite.
" Demons...Brothern. I have come, taken this lord and made him beg for mercy before his blood was drained down my mouth. Now these soldiers were killed mercilessly by Shin Ishkin, Hinsaa and even...more played the part. Not only do they deserve respect from you, but if you say anything I shall break you and chain you to my throne. Cutting your eyes, hands and toes off."
"Now although many of you may ask, who are these people and where have they just appeared from. Well..that can be answered simply."
With his power to shape blood, with his telekenis he had blood drained and then brought to him with buckets and then thrown upon the ground before him into the dirt. In large letters, letters were shaped to form one word. Sio stated it, loud enough to be heard among these demons and others, for those to know they're name.
" Vörnagar."

"I am Disorder."
The words echoed through the small out of the way palace, laced with crystals and other fine materials, Shin nodded his acknowledgement to the man, before diverting his attentions to the small girl who clouded his visions with pain.
The emotion recalled was 'depression', yet the pain only caused his body to shake and shudder, after a few minutes it had passed and his body had re generated, "You shouldn't try and feed me emotions girl." He muttered breathlessly, "Pain and suffering helps me gain strength, though if you're truly a master of emotional balances, you'll be more then useful to our cause."
He tried to smile then, before remembering that only metal adorned his facial features, angry with himself he turned upon Hinsaa, "Before we completely destroy this city, let us go to the Citadel, I am told that Azul is there, but required we most probably are not."
A violent fury suddenly split the air before him with purple lightning, which stayed there continuing to electrify the air in front of him, rather than disappearing the way that any natural phenomenon should. Shin Ishikin dropped his guard, and desperately sought the meager security of his sword. The mist swirled around him in a sudden twister, as the energy before him danced and coalesced, growing larger and more intense by the moment.
Being the master of Baalice, one of the world’s mightiest wizards, the young demon had seen enough of sorcery to suspect that his life was in grave peril. He knew his sword would prove little guard against magic, so he backed away cautiously. He didn’t know how or why this supernatural display had found him, but he did know the wisest course of action was to warn his master. Shin Ishikin turned to flee.
Then, as if from across a great divide, he heard his name. “Shin Ishikin!” The voice was desperate, anxious and afraid. Startled, he looked back. The dark energy had grown and separated, wreathing what looked to his inexpert eye to be a portal to some far off place. Beyond was a murky realm, outlined in crumbled buildings and a blood red sky.
He heard his name again, seemingly much closer this time. “Shin Ishikin!” It was a demon’s voice, he was certain, this time the elated relief was overwhelming. A shape took form within the portal, and the energy whipped to a frenzied climax in a brilliant flash of light.
Shin ishikin rubbed his eyes to adjust them to the enveloping darkness. The lightning was gone, as was the portal and even the mist. Two words seemed to hang in the darkness, uttered by a voice he had never heard before, “Good luck.” There was no other sign left of what had just transpired.
Perplexed, he replaced the sword in the belt holster behind his back. Lying atop the pile of rubble he found a conscious body, scarcely covered in anything but rags, blood, dirt and gore. It was Baalice.
The figure moved almost instantly, yet another figure remained seated, he didn't know whether or not he was dead, but he did grunt at the prospect of another demon helping.
"This is Ka'Myuk." Ushered Baalice, before 20 balls appeared around him, only to form back into the creation he had made later that day.
Shin Ishikin turned back to Hinsaa, for far to long had they remained there, the crystals would eventually be broken, simply because ice gave no feel to a demonic village, and better yet, it gave no purpose to the villages destruction. This city would be adorned with flames and of darkness. That he promised.
Moving along the crater, with Baalice at his fore, Shin eventually turned to Hinsaa, "Let's go to this Citadel, and see what's left of this city."
At that he turned, and walked towards the palace, Baalice always a few meters behind.
