He made his way to the cage and to his surprise the dam thing used a large metal door, with concrete seals, marked by radical emblems mixed in with ison seals welded onto the metal. They didn't seem to do anything considering that they should have affected him the moment he nard the cage, however he immediately realised why, they were meant to keep the people inside , with no chance of escape.
Which spoke wonders, because the creature used a two handed lock to keep them, well locked in. Just press and pull, the problem was he needed to put his sword away in order to do hat. The issue was he had no way of knowing if doing just that would trigger an alarm, or set of one of the seals, still he summoned the same crystal from beor and set it to a form that gave it the ability to carry large quantities of people, he couldn't afford any distractions.
That meant getting these people out of here and preparing himself or a uneasy fight.
The crystal would send them all directly back to his nephews location, they would be safe with him. Pluss they would get medical attention, he on the other hand would have to see his markers to pull himself back. It was a form of teleportation, but in a limited sense. They quite literally take you back to your last spot and the one before that and so on until you reach your destination of choice.
Like it or not he placed his sword at the edge of the cage and as carefully as possible, he pressed down and pulled the lock\handle open. This got a small reaction from the people inside, however from their point of view, the eage door had opened by itself.
They hesitated but only for an instant, then the babest one, or was it the dumbest one made a run for it. The crystal immediately registered him and he stampede of people that followed. The cage was preventing him from scanning everyone, however those that managed to run away would be able to find freedom, unfortunately, that meant that over a dozen children\infants would be left behind along with the elderly.
The crystal had a limit to two uses, which is why he had limited himself up to now to only use it one and be dragged back later. But in all honesty, had the infants not been there he would have left the elderly to run away while he fought that thing. So his decision was made, he had to go in and hope the crystal registered tem.
He briefly looked at the direction of the creature and thankfully it was still concentrated on what it was doing, he briefly checked his time. This whole ordeal had taken five minutes and he walked in, the moment he set foot his Presence concealment cristal deactivated, that was a bad sign.
The old men and woman, thy well they prepared to fight which was admirable considering their advanced ge, but his cristal registered them all at once and teleported them away in a flash of light. Without his concealment, well the effects of his tools could now be seen and that was bad because the creature had seen the flash of light.
He mentally called for his sword thankfully it flew towards his hand. A gurgling sound was let loose by the creature, however he was ready for the fight. Except the fight never came, the creature dissolved itself and melted away, leaving the entire room in an uneasy silence.
However this unease soon became shock and desperation, the damn thing had begun to ooz through the ceiling of the cage, the steel bars and the ground itself.
The thing was smart and it was avoiding direct combat.
]][][
He began to run towards the cage door unfortunately for him, the creatures green ooz was closing the door shut, pluss covering the openings with the strange substance. So he took a small risk and activated the teleporter and was rewarded with his body coming into uncovered part of the door.
Still his it worked, there was no point in fighting. The creature was none corporal, making half of his gear useless and the other halfe he could only assume it would only slow down the thing.
All he had to do was activate the system again and he would be home free except, the terrain changed again, then again, then again and again until it finally stopped. He must have set up some sort of defence system, because he was hopelessly lost now. None of his maps matched his current location.
The green slime snuck up behind him, but given its malis he was able to reacto it. The good thing was that it was slow, so he began to tri and experiment, he drew a small home made flamethrower made of hair spray and a type of lighter at the end, oddly enough it just made the slime grow.
That caused it to get closer it him, so he gave six steps back and summoned an ice crystal hat turned the creatures he used it on wellin to ice. However the thing actually broke itself apart and ,made more of itself.
Somehow gaining control of is broken pieces the creature began to throw them all over the place , dispersing the. He had made the situation a million times worse, the last thing he did was drop a seed so he could get a map of the area and heran..
All around him the place grew deadly quiet, which was weird considering he was only in a massive stone hallway, that didn't have a sealing. His map finally finished loading and confirmed his fears he was in some sort of maze, luckily for him he was near the exit and he was just about to reach it and a smile was formed on to his face a smile that instantly vanished the moment he exited the maze.
'I see you found your way into my Home'' Ainz ooal Gown, besides him was the strange woman with yellow eyes at his right, while at his left stood the vampire midget with silver hair. That feeling returned he wanted to turn and run by the slime was right behind him and in front was an enemy that even at his best he would be hard press just to defeat one of them, but as things stood he had to fight all four.
His only hope was for the terrain to change and the likelihood of that happening was small. So he exhaled and hoped for the best, ashis sword began to glow responding to the battle ahead.
][][][]
The very aspect of the world changed, no longer was the feeling of desperation present, he draw breath clearly and carefully . His armor denying the outside world any access to the inside of his armor, of course that meant what cool air could get thru was now denied to him.
That was a bad sign, whatever was affecting him was airborne, proof of this was the fact that the moment to the outside world was cut of, the very feeling banished and he could think calmly again. The bright light from his sword dispelled any magic casted by the demonic creatures in front of him, silently he hoped to God that it wasn't preventing him from being teleported to another location.
The war had taught him one thing. No matter what training you have, it's never enough. That was how he lost both his legs and ended up a paraplegic, it was his nephew who had bought him the headset, he was no stranger to it after all, the Hospital he had been staying at was using it as medical therapy.
The headset was nothing special in fact the damn thing was a helmet, a black screen and a pair of built in headphones. Together they had made a name for themselves Black and White, heroes of the Flying Castle and its surrounding territories.
He hadn't realised it, but slowly that boy had ended up saving him from an embittered life, that if he had been honest would have ended with him putting a bullet in his head.]
So when they ended up in this new world, he had bowed to protect the boy the, he fail. They both hkad sen men, woman and children, killed right before their eyes, while others had gone completely insane.
San Andreas did not have any defences and it was surrounded by forest fields and a nearby ocean all completely infested with monsters.
It was a slaughter house.
The small children were hurried into the Castle while the adults and N.P.C's fight off the invaders and built the walls. The walls the only reason Santa Maria had been built in the first place, was because someone had hid behind a flipped over minivan and the creature chasing him had given up simply because the thing was bigger than itself.
A clicking sound began to echo all around him, similar to those that a bicycle makes when a person's riding it. However the small dragging vibrations that followed the hundreds of clicks was what made him realise terrifying implications.
The enmi was calling in reinforcements and by the sounds of it they were a lot of them.
He briefly attempted to give a step back and jump onto the wall behind him, only for Shalltear to jump straight at him, her bright red blood armor instantly equipped itself , briefly showing of her naked body asher victorian dress was replaced by it.
As their swords met, his chess became cold but it wasn't out of fear no it was the king of one gets when an unseen danger approaches them. He struggled to do so but he managed to turn and throw the Demonic Midget at whatever it was.
The impact echoed thru the room, he briefly took a moment too see what it was only to see that it was the woman with bright yellow eyes and white dress.
Yet she was smiling, her seemingly gentle smile almost instantly turned into a feral grin as she showed what she held in her free hand, for Shalltear was at the moment on top of her.
He felt his eyes widen in horror and his chess turn cold in equal or greater terror. In her hand was a simple blue cristal a cristal she broke, it was almost instantaneously his body began to itch and turn numb.
The best way to compare it was when his foot fell asleep, so he called forth a healing crystal and immediately healed himself. But the thing was in the brief instant he had held himself she had vanished and managed to punch him right thrue the stomach, luclely for him his armor held, unfortunately the pain didn't.
His breath had been taken from him and that was bad, then it got worse, cockroaches, beetles and all kinds of worms covered him and would not let go. They tried to force their way into his armor so he summoned a homemade flame thrower.
One he had created during the Skaven war and set himself and his disgusting attackers on fire, even as they died he didn't stop he was still surrounded afterall. So he jumped hoping to get some distance, only for a bright re beam to hit his word.
It had sensed the magic and it had reacted to it. That saved his life, he could barely breath now, so he summoned another crystal and a magic ring that helped him strengthen himself.
Unfortunately that woman hit him again and any help that those things would have given him was gone. He could hear his bones creak inside his body, they were breaking under his own body's weight.
He had to get out of there, but somehow some way they knew he was breaking apart and were just willing him away. He needed a miracle and he got one he remember the last marker he had dropped and prayed to God he could reach it.
He called forth to it and he immediately jumped, his body impacted the ground that was slowly being consumed by the green blob. He didn't stay to see what was going on and jumped again returning him to his previous location only for Ainz ooal gown to be there waiting for him.
''The moment you arrived we knew you were here. So we only studied your movement'' he said as he let loose a bolt of red lights and followed with a lightning bolt and even a strange mist into the air.
His armor held but his body couldn't, he felt his blood splatter on his helmet. He jumped again, if what he had heard was true then trying to call for help would compromise the communication networks, the thing sound of his armor impacting the walls of the dark room echoed and he could feel the sticky ness of his blood filling both his boots and his gloves.
He called forth for a potion only for that womans glowing eyes to shine right in front of him. The sheer force of her punch broke his ribs and several of the bones on his arm. The potion was shattered and useless to him, so he did the last thing he could do he jumped without a destination.
If it worked then he would either end up on the outside or wherever his Nephew was, if he wasn't he could go back into his enemy's hands.
The footage ended as she turned to see the Orc she was about to ask something only to be met with a sight she hadn't expected. Every Player and allie they had were filled with uncontrollable rage and fear.
Back at the castle where the Golden Lions and the second in command of Domino were all shared the same look. While in the Council chambers the Krogan representative spoke.
''They can access our storage space and read our info screens'' he said in fear
][][][]
The storage space also known as the Players safe pack. It allows Players to carry more than what is Humanly possible, located in a folded dimension it exist only for players to hold and carry things.
However no player, monster, or N.P.C can gain access to it except for the owner of it. Specifically designed for the individual, no storage space is similar to the last, however only fw people know that the storage space is directly connected to the Player's own essence.
Their life force, no one understands this better than members of Domino, for they were present on the day that the great resurrection of the Players occurred. The fire, shattering glass and body vanishing all relate to it, there for any Storage Space that is breached will affect a Player's resurrection, for they are one in the same.
His uncle told him that, the day he came back to life, he didn't want him to get caught of guard and die. White remembered all of this as he looked at his Uncle's unconscious body, the Cardinals had managed to save his life but he would never resurrect thru the Fairies fire. No now he would have his body shattered like glass and put back together later.
Besides him the N.P.C's that he took under his wing cried, women, children, soldiers and even some animals could barely contain their pain.
His Uncle and the rest of Domina had protected them even when the rest of the Players raped and claimed many of them as their own, but they kept their people safe.
He took his uncle's sword and sid what no one expected him to do, he ordered one of the N.P.C's to pass it over all of the injured Players, the sword itself was the whole reason his Uncle had managed to walk at all. It absorbs pain and dished it directly back at the enemy, unfortunately it didn't stop the feeling from happening.
He briefly looked up at a woman and a small girl, with a young mad grinding his teeth trying to be strong. She was the one that took care of his Uncle's house and other living spaces, he would gather her and her family along with anyone that wanted soon every N.P.C and Allie.
They were a family.
Soon the sword returned he took it and drew his own.'' I am the edge of the sword, the tip of the spear, the blunt of the hammer, the strength of the shield and the hope of the people'' he resided Domino's oath and walked out, both swords glowing with anticipation.
His Uncle's sword glew with a bright light while his own wrapped itself in shadowy dark light, some how some way they wanted revenge two almost as if they felt like failures and they wanted blood.
[][][][
In the Council chambers Domino's Leader and head of the Guild was having an intense argument with both the high Council and the minor Council, while the Shadow Council only watched and voiced their concerns
''We're dealing with Player one that deserves death at all cost'' said the red Fairy
''The problem is that woman in white'' answered the Leprechaun leader
''I'm not doing this anymore Cod Black is is officially enacted. Everything dies if we can't kill them, we will have to destroy everything'' answered Domino's Leader
''This is madness, you're talking about leaving nothing, not even dust. It would be more Humane to use a nuk'' stated the green fairy
''What the hell do you want us to do, we need to deal with this now. After this Domino will leave Earth in your care, we will take our families with us'' said Domino's Leader
'...'no one said anything
''Why'' asked Asuna
''We are aware of what's happening. The N.P.C's have created a cast system that we created and they have semented. Officially there are no more N.P.C's but they refer to the Homeless as this, Cristals are only recognised once one of us makes them, so many out there are little more than slaves''
''Even now the N.P.C's are learning the ways the monsters move and react. Their kingdoms are proof of this, soon they won't need us to protect them so Domino and our families will go to another world and settle there after this, we are done fighting'' Domino's leader answered as he left the Council chambers
''Get in contact with the exploration team tell them we need another world and to bring out two more just incase'' said the man in the Black suit
''Don't you think that's a little extreme'' asked Asuna
''No he's right, as things stand the N.P.C's population is rapidly growing and with these new Crystals the idea that the Council is obsolete. Maybe in fifty eighty years but we will have to leave'' answered the Leader of the Salamanders
''Each world will become our new home, with new faces. Face it this will eventually happen. Krogan leader you and your team know the device that is out there can we use it'' asked the man hidden in shadows
''We can burt we run the risk of enraging the Cardinals'' the Krogan representative answered [Book of Krogan]
''Lets leave that for now, what have the Cardinals said?'' asked a blue fairy
''They said that we need to deal with on our own'' answers Asuna
''Great we're on our own again, how are things on Mars ?'' asked the man in green armor
''We're making progress on both sides, but things have become a little bit complicated. Turns out the apes are more capable than we gave them credit for'' answers the Krogan representative
''One thing at a time'' Asuna interrupted, as the form of White appeared on screen as he headed towards the teleportation platform
][][
At the entrance to the enemies cave, Domino and its allies have begun to take formation for their reinforcements are about to arrive.
''Take formation, we've received direct orders, units one thru eight well go in groups of five, if you enter any unmapped location mark it. Anything that doesn't attack leave it, if just one attacks wipe everything out. No survivors'' someone screamed
''Tank teams guard the outside, no one gets in, Orcs you guard the entrance from the outside, Orks you guard the entrance from the inside'' The Orc leader ordered
''Beast tamers, mages mark shooters you already know your jobs do them well, as for the soldiers you will be guarding the rear, you can't come back if you're killed now move.'' the same person from before ordered
''Our reinforcements will be arriving here soon, so we will strike at the enemy's main entrance where enemy fought Black, however we have no real way of knowing if they will be there. So what your backs and teleport away if you have to don't be heroes'' the Orc leader said as the first ten soldiers walk into the cave
This happened five times and in each time not a single one of them, met up with the group before them.
Group one, a ping sound echoed thru a deep hall, with ten holes in each side, each step they took the ping sound continued, ping in each move they made.
''Hey'' one of them said
''Yeah'' another one in group one answered
''Remember back in the city, when we burned the building down, well I'm starting to feel the same way again'' the first one continued
''Fuck'' someone else said, as the walls exploded with hundreds of snakes tearing them apart, until all of the players within it were nothing but blood smears on the walls. Then as the sounds of the screams and roars ended and the uneasy silence settled in, a blue flame consumed the entire room.
''Round two mothe fuckers''
][][][
Before the snakes even had a chance to react, flamethrowers ranging from the simplest hair spray can and lighter, to the most complex flamethrower used by modern day military were unleashed upon them burning them alive.
However when everyone was certain they had killed the last of the defending reptiles, they immediately headed towards the holes on the walls and thrue two small drones that they summoned from their pocket space.
One going up, while the other went down, it didn't matter if anything stopped them for within their synthetic bodies, powerful flame bombs were being carried. Each one set to explode after a certain time.
The moment they exploded the combined hissing, screeching , running and what seemed like screaming was heard as the liquid and gas of the bombs was designed to increase in as it reached organic material like flesh, bone or simple skin, while at the same time leaving materials like soil and stone completely untouched.
Standing in the entire area covered in burned corpses some of which were falling to the ground one of the scout members spoke ''This is unit one, are secure. Units two, three, four and five report'' he said
''Unite five area secure, by the way didn't any of you guys always say you wanted to see and own an Elf.'' someone in unite five answers
''Yeah, why?'' the same member of unit one answered back
''We have an entire forest worth of them there's no more forest'' unite fives member said with a mischievous grin, ''Well atleast we get to sleep with their woman, the burning and pillaging of their land is already on its way'' he continued, while getting a chuckle from the rest of his team
''Unit two, keep it in your pants boys. We girls have secured the area, by the way in the dark room Black had his little lunch break. It was filled with friendly giant Bats, they let us thrue, I repeat they are friendly. Do not kill'' a woman in unit two reported
''Unit three area secure'' a man reported in
''However all inhabitants have been terminated'' a woman continued as she held a man by the throat and drove a machete in to him, while the ma before her shot at a wall of people all kneeling down in a row in front of him
''We have taken all of the children, under two years old, we are sending them in now'' he said as a member of his team finished placing a set of boxes around the area
''No survivors means no survivors, but we don't kill what we can use'' he said as the detonated, wiping any survivors , as well as any trace that the people had lived there
''This is unit four, are secure but we are currently stuck in our location, proceed without us'' a man reported ''Trust me you guys are going to like what we just found'' he said as the image of a temple was sent to everyone
''Understood, everyone else proceed, unite four secure the location and make sure nothing happens to it'' the current leader said as the saw the image ''Orks you guys know what to do'' he ordered, as the Orks immediately entered the cave entrance and stood guard
While the beast tamers that had insects at their command ordered them to burrow don into the ground, which they did with bone chilling speed. Immediately after the wolves, cats, lizards and even what little flirting beast present entered the cave, ''Second wave is going in, our reinforcement are almost here well met up soon, hold until then'' the man said as a group of soldiers carrying a total of three boxes, with the hazard sign on them walked to ward the entrance of the cave
''Do you really think your going to need that'' someone said behind them, as he turned to see who it was and noticed a familiar face
''Kirito, it has to be done if we can't beat them'' he answered
''Fine I know but, lets just hope we don't have to use those things, I still feel bad for using Nukes the last time, now we might actually have to use something worse'' kirito answered as the soldiers began to enter the cave
[][][]
Within the cave
A silver knight followed the first group, a desert eagle on his wrist and a simple blue sword that dripped in several unknown monsters blood. His eyes held a cold and uncaring nature, for the lives he took
''How long has it been since I fought, how long since one of us died. Peace, we had peace, now look at us. No one wanted to spread, but just keeping San Andreas is nearly impossible. Not to mention the surrounding areas, that are now inhabitant.'' he thought to himself as he picked up a lizard men, no a lizard boy that wasn't even an adult and decapitated it.
''Oh it's easy to point fingers and scream evil, when people see us. But they weren't there when, all of those kinds went insane.'' He continued to think, as he planted demolition charges in the area, before getting up and leaving.
''I still remember seeing a little boy putting a bullet in his head, just because he couldn't take it. Seeing the girls try to keep each other safe, only to be swarmed by goblins''
A swarm of rats charged at him and the rest of unit one, they in turn begin to fire at them with a combination of machine gun and shot gun fire.
''Those that could , we defended ourselves, those that couldn't learned fast, they had to. But as time went on, we got tired, then it felt dull, then we started to have fun after all they were them and we were us'' He thought to himself as unit one switched back flamethrowers and began to burn any survivors and begin to incinerate the entire nest.
''We knew it was going to be hard leaving the safety of the walls, but we had to the truth of the matter is that even as powerful as we are should a powerful enemy show up, we wouldn't have a way of escaping. '' he thinks as they finally reach the exit of the cave and enter the area filled with luscious green vegetation and giant beast.
''This is unit one, we have entered the forest area, theone filled with giant animals.'' the leader of the group says
''This is unit three were here''
''Unite for, we are reaching that point''
''Way ahead of you guys, unite two is already here''
''Wait for our support to get here, so eat some lunch and and get some rest guys. We're going to have to get our hands dirty soon'. Oh yeah we're here unite five signing out''

Meanwhile back in the Flying Castle
A fallen pillar that, that was the only thing that could describe the feeling everyone felt. The eternal shadow that kept everyone safe was now gone, from what they overheard the soul fire that returned the Players back to life, was now denied to him.
Even now several people were outside the hospital hoping for a change in his condition, next t o his bead the smooth black armor stood watch over him as if waiting for its master's return and it kept watch over him in his time of weakness.
This was the first time anyone in the castle had ever seen his face, Black had that tendency to always keep his armor on, even now if one looked closely the animals in their care looked as if they had somehow lost some of their vigor.
Children who had come to buisit, had had front row seats at the sight of their mothers and sisters breaking down crying, they hadn't known the truth about the man who lived in the bead, yet even now they saw their fathers, older brothers and so on holding on, their teeth grinding, yet they all failed to hold the tears back.
Each one of them held a story of a time gone but not forgotten, a time before the Players rule over the world, just one story was so hart breaking that few if any survived its actual happening.
A woman knelt down crying her boy held onto her, while at the same time he stretched out his hand to reach for the one of the man who had become his adopted father.
Tho he lacked the knowledge of what had led his mother to meeting the man, he knew that he only wanted to make her stop crying and that he wanted to kill who had hurt his father.
It was at that moment that the boy saw Blacks fingers twitch, he was still alive and was fighting for his life even now, yet there was no guarantee that he would live even now.
His mother remembered Black from the time forgotten by the younger generation, deliberately hidden from them, in an effort to hide their painful origins.
She forced the thoughts away only the eternal scarring remained now yet even those were so painful that her tears ran even tho she resisted them.
Her memory forced itself upon her and he sight of children being repeatedly wiped by the abominations that enslaved them, others had their meat and skin carved by the gears that were passing directly next, below and on top of them.
Men were so tightly packed together that they worked side by side with the dead as they routed next to them, woman as elderly as prunes and as young as[ ] were chained to walls simply being used and breeding, until their bodies simply gave out.
The food it was better to never remember what they were forced to eat, there was no hope there. Then one day like shadows of venganse the came Domino the angels of God that roamed thru the darkness, the fighting was so fierce that even in the cells they could hear their captors terror as Domino refused to stay dead.
She could still remember his grand shadow envelope them as he entered the room, first over the children then over each of them. One by ne they had been escorted to a wall and they had expected for the newest pair of chains, yet they never came.
Balck himself burned the prison that was in reality a mansion to the ground, he children were never found, only her boy which she carried remained and many of the woman told them that their fathers were members of Domino. She was no different, but now the shadow had been dispersed by a devil and she felt hopeless.
''Why are you all crying'' someone spoke ''He has stood against giants, entire armies even now an entire army composed of Players and some soldiers march against the guy he fought. Yet he took that son of a bitch on, all by himself''the voice continued
''So what's more likely, he dies or he gets back up and is disappointed on what little faith we have in him'' the voice continued, she looked up only to see a nurse looking down at a chart, yet at the same time she pointed at her son and what she saw took her breath away
There was Black's hand holding her sons tightly, murmurs spread out thru the people and their souls light up, like a weight had been removed. Their king was regaining his strength and they would not disappoint him.
