Zilfer crumbled into rocks, as the earth clone was destoryed. "Well that's not good.... Archos Get out of the way!" yelled Luster as IT fled into the void. Archos turned around to see the large piece coming down towards the surface.
"In the name of..... " said Archos before cutting himself off and opened the void drawing upon the dark powers, and absorbing Kuragari to full his energy as he created a collosus sword, and as it came at him, he slashed it with pure air pressure hoping to knock it off to the side or slice through it. As archos sliced it split into two pieces, one large, and a smaller one that passed on either side of Archos who was breathing heavily after tring to keep the blade's air pressure from breaking on contact, the air rushed outwards in all dirrections blasting Archos around. He could only hope that Luster had already found at way to escape as he regained his balance and maintained his altitude.
Meanwhile in the void Zilfer sat meditating as Selene charged forward towards what was once jack. He felt the massive vibrations, and he stood up drawing his blades finally. Flames upon either side of it came together clasping together in a grip trying to burn him alive. Zilfer then electrified his blades preparing for the next thing to happen, it seemed this thing wasn't going to run out of energy anytime soon, hopefully something nasty would show up in the void. The void being a place of darkness Zilfer wasn't sure what the hell would show up here, and in this dark place if the blade could sustain itself.

Cain was thrown back and forth in the rear of the ship as it made its evasive maneuvers, struggling to grab a hold of something.
"Great..." Cain muttered, wrapping his arms around one of the seats bolted to the floor, "Guess we'll have to do it the old fashioned way then."
Catching a glimpse of a chunk of rock bearing down on them out the side window, Cain reached out an arm and used the force as best he could to deflect the object from its path.
Meanwhile, the hunk of earth slammed into Tishi kicking up a massive cloud of molten rock and ash and sending a shock wave around the planet. The air became thick with debris and it became almost impossible to see anything, including the objects around the Dragoon.
Inside the void, "It" was slashed right across the back by Selene's lightsaber. Turning its head around and looking over its shoulder, It used the force to blast Selene back in much the same manner as it had Cain earlier. As the fire appeared around It, It disappeared from the void again, two razor thin sheets of air slicing past each other and through Zilfer like a Guillotine just after It vanished.

Selene flew through the void and landed several hundred meters back from where she was before. She looked around and tried to spot Jack, but he was gone again. As she did she noticed another enemy. It was one of the tortured souls that inhabited the void. She did not want to leave the Void, now knowing what type of changes have been taking place and yet she was not in a condition to put up a fight.
As the phantasm got closer Selene realized what she could do. She reached out with the Force and used Sin Harvest. She pulled the soul in towards her, fighting to draw enough strength to bring it in. She continued to pull at it until finally it was to weak to fight and was pulled in. Once she did she felt the surge of power but also felt the darkness she just provoked. She fought off the desire to let Nyx out. She headed back towards Zilfer, hoping he kept track of where Jack was.

The Dragoon's pilot looked down from the canopy and down to his sensor display. Jor plotted them a coarse that would take them close to the planets surface.
"Get ready to jump" Jor said as he climbed out of the cockpit and put his hand on the hatch controls. "He's not going to take the time to actually land this bird, so we're just going to get really close and... fall with style the rest of the way."
Jor hit the control and the hatched opened up. "I got to say, the whole nuking from orbit idea is looking better and better."

Zilfer barely sencing the Razor winds in time threw up the strongest wind veil he could conjuer to force the Razor wind's off course sending them to the sides of him, missing by a fraction of an inch. With this wind swirling around him he conjuered a massive wave of lightning that began to swirl around him, and his swords.
"You ok Selene? Try and hold it together." said Zilfer as he saw something disappear nearby. Zilfer kept his mind open keeping track of where IT was.
Luster exited the void, as the dust was thick from the crash, and it soon cleared with a massive wind, as Archos whipped the dust clean, with a Hurrican of wind. Luster stood across from the figure his white wings finally extended outwards, and his hands held outwards and glowing, with lightning and another form of energy. Luster used Paralyzer freezing up the bodies nerves as his attack was ready.
"Eat this." spoke Luster as he unleashed a beam of pure light energy striaght at it, and as it came into contact the beam exploded outwards with energy. Luster breathed outwards in this position, his hand's still crackling from the lightning encircling them. Zilfer appeared next to Luster in a ready stance.

"Nuking from orbit may be an improvement after all this," Cain commented, getting ready to make the jump. Leaning out from the hatch, he waited until the ground was in sight before leaping out and onto the ground. As he looked up It's back was to him, Luster on the other side firing a beam of energy at It. Cain dove to the side as the beam hit with a tremendous flash as the energy dispersed.
As the flash cleared there was another sizable hole in It's upper left abdomen. Most of It's skin was singed off and bone was visible in its ribs, arms and lower jaw. The force began to rapidly heal the wounds as It glared back at Luster.
"Oh shit," Cain commented, "I think you really pissed it off this time."
All the air that had been removed now formed a precise razor thin line and came slamming back down like a meat cleaver onto Luster. Upon impact it created a massive shock wave as the air rushed back into the vacuum.
It's skin had healed back over, but It's chest was exposed, the top half of It's robes having been burnt away. Clasping it's hands together slowly the air around it began to swirl, but the rest of the air was halted with the force. Freezing all the air molecules in place the temperature abruptly shifted from about 40 degrees to absolute zero in under a second, flash freezing everything in sight. Pausing for a moment, it then let out an ear piercing Force Scream that proceeded to shatter everything around that had been frozen.

"Crap, Luster get outta there!" yelled Archos from up above, as the air began to freeze Archos' winds began to become heavy and he quickly forced himself to land before his wings became to heavy to move and keep himself aloft. Using combustion in the air around himself he heated the tempurture up quite a bit in a small area around himself so he wouldn't freeze instantly, but the chill was still quite apparent as it bit at Archos' skin.
The water clone of Zilfer headed for IT, and soon froze solid shattering apart into a million pieces at the feet of IT.
Luster put his diamond guantlets up above him crossing them to lessen the damage of the massive fine edge hit his diamond gauntlets stopping some of the air right their, but the rest of it rushed past him slamming luster to his knee's as he was torn up all around. His whole body was bloodied from the blow, as blood froze almost as it touched air outside his body. Blood leaked from his mouth as he spit into the air and it dropped as a solid piece of blood ice. Luster's wings looked in disrepair, one having been severed close to his back, and the other bleeding and torn feather's littering the ground below. Luster heated up his windveil so that he would not become a living statue, even though his blood was already frozen to the outside of his body.
Then an ear shattering scream erupted and blasted outwards in all dirrections, blasting anything nearby back, and shattering all that was frozen. Luster flew back a good 20 feet, bleeding even more now, as the shattering of the frozen blood upon his skin had reopened some old wounds, and formed some new ones. Luster with the help of the force got up, smirking a bit.
"Sorry, Jackie....." muttered Luster as his eyes began to glow a pure white, and then a massive stirring in the force could be felt as Luster unleashed the damage he had taken back at his opponent two fold. "Counter....." With that Luster fell forward, and his wounds slowly began to heal.....
Archos knew this would be an important moment, and there wouldn't be another opertunity like this again, he held up his, allowing him to draw upon the power of the void once more for help in completeing the next move. "Thousand Blades of Anzu!" he uttered as he unleashed his father's own signature attack. Razor winds' formed on all sides of IT, and slashing it open from all sides, as Archos hopped to dismember it to the last atom.
Zilfer sencing all the commotion through the force nodded to Selene. "It seems it's now or never." said Zilfer, as he prepared to unleash as much as possible upon this thing. Zilfer exiting the void slamming his two blades into the ground to send out lightning that split open towards the IT before disappearing into the void once again getting ready for a second barage.

Jor hit the ground with a thud and took Vera from her place on his back. Like Cain, he'd landed several thousand yards behind Jack.
"Any ideas?" Jor asked as he started charging a disruptor shot.
"Well, as usual he seems to have an accelerated healing factor, probably from use of the force." Rita said into his ear.
"Well that's good, at least it's not natural cellular regeneration." Jor commented. A rocket slid into the launcher on his shoulder. The Force scream hit Jor and he could feel the vibrations through his suit but other then that, he was unaffected. He pointed Vera at Jack's head, sighted in using the scope and fired. A powerful disruptor blast erupted from the barrel of the gun. Seconds later a rocket launched from it's shoulder mounted holster.
"Galactca, Galactica. This is Bulldozer." Jor said into his comm.
"Bulldozer, Galactica. Go ahead."
"Galactica, i'm requesting fighter support. We need some heavy weapons down here." Jor shouted.
"Understood Bulldozer, we'll reroute a flight of Wraith fighters to your area. ETA 8 minutes. They'll standby for laser designation."
"Understood Galactica. Buldozer out."

The air heated up rapidly around Cain as he then concentrated all the heated air to his hands. The Force Scream rushing past drove Cain back and blood began to leak from his ears as he was unable to shield himself at all from the attack in preparing his next one.
"Heal this," Cain said, reaching out his arms. A beam of super heated energy shot outward at It.
The counter from Luster hit It like a ton of bricks. It's skin was seared away and Its head whipped back. It's arms were then torn asunder by Archos' attack and It fell to It's knees, gasping heavily. It was then that the rocket from Jor, Zilfer's lightning and Cain's quasar all met with a violent explosion.
As the dust settled there was little left but a bloodied torso. A black ooze leaking from where the head was. What looked to be the shape of a hand rose up from the shadowy substance...

Nyx felt Jack back in the Void, however it was not the same one they had been fighting. This one was the old Jack from Chinina. She quickly exited the void and looked around at the people. She then slowly and looked at the ooze reaching out. It was calling to her, as a father to a child. It was her father in a way, the father of the Luminos race. She closed her eyes, knowing she had to put an end to this. She reached out in the Force and found the only other Luminos on the planet. "Alex, it is time to end this. I will join with the creature and you well have to seal us into the Void. Be fast, I will not be able to fight it’s will long. May Lucias watch over you." Selene pulled out her Book of Lucias and her lightsaber. She said under her breath; "Grandfather, give me strength." She then dropped both on the ground and walked directly at the hand. As the darkness enveloped her she started to fight it with every ounce of her strength. In her mind, her last words rang, *I would rather die a Luminos then live an eternity as a monster.* The saying echoed through her, the last rallying cry of strength to fight off the creature until the galaxy was made safe from its presence once and for all.

Whatever IT was, It writhed as it leaked from Jack's broken frame. Suddenly lashing out as Selene came close, wrapping itself around her head as it had done to Jack. Fighting the creature for a moment, Selene's body wouldn't be able to resist it for long.
"What is it?" Cain wondered aloud, picking up the old blade that Jack had dropped. Closing his eyes the blade began to glow, "Ironic that it should end with a sword... Spatial Slash!"
Cain then shot forward at Selene, the blade tearing through time and space with a brilliant flash that was interrupted with a violent jolt that blasted Cain back. The tear in space still remaining, the black hand struggled against it before being pulled in... but it wasn't over. The rend in space began to absorb the material around it. A Dark Star was rapidly being formed, and in a few minutes there would be no escape from it. In a daze Cain stood back to his feet, grabbing the old blade and taking off in the opposite direction.

"Rita, what is that?" Jor said staring at the disturbance in reality.
"Sensors are picking up a unique radiation coming off it. I'm also sensing a huge gravity well emanating from within the disturbance. Sensor readings from within it are sketchy at best but quantum mechanics are breaking down around it's edges." Rita started rattling off radiation figures and relative sizes of the disturbance.
"Your telling me its a hole in the universe?" Jor asked.
"Fortunately yes." Rita replied.
"Fortunately? That's not very fortunate Rita."
"With the radiation levels involved here it could have ended up being a tear in reality itself. A irreparable hole in the multiverse." Rita answered
"Ok, i guess that's a silver lining." Jor said. He opened up a link to Galactica and relayed a signal through Galactica's hypercom. Six, this is Jor. We could really use your help. Come to the coordinates i'm sending you and bring your gadgets."
Jor cut the link to the hypercom and opened a channel to Galactica itself. "Galactica, form a quarantine zone around the planet. No one lands on its surface for any reason. Take the safeties off your nukes and have Lysander do the same. We may need some drastic measures down here."

Zilfer put up a hand as a vibrant flash happened to seal away that thing forever however it seemed things were not over. He had come out of the void to see a Darkness starting to form as a small ripple of the dimention began to extend outwards. Cain took off, and Zilfer put up his hands getting ready for one of the last things he would probably get to do. An arm landed upon Zilfer's shoulder squeezing his. "This is not your home Zilfer. Let me have this one last honor." said Archos walking past Zilfer towards the black hole and stopped, his white wings outstreched to either side of him. "Seems this is the only thing that will be worthy of the name Mitsukai and the greatest of our race." Zilfer walked over to Luster's body, and aided the healing process knowing that Luster had been hurt bad. He probably wouldn't be back on his feet for awhile. Even with the effects of Luster Purge the moves had taken their toll against Luster. "Is it over?" asked Luster who Zilfer was amazed he was consious at the moment. Zilfer put a hand to Luster's back. "Rest now friend, your part is done." Came Zilfer's voice as he looked up to Archos. "This shall be my legacy..... Darkness Rising!" yelled Archos as the void opened below him, and Archos began to absorb the souls of the Kurigari with no remorse. Darkness began to swell up from the ground and around that of Archos. His vulgar display of absorbing the Darkside was beginning to damage Archos' body. His skin began to become paler, and the pigment of his eyes went from violet into the yellow eyes of a sith. His skin began to crack and tear away leaving scars as the darkness finally enveloped his full body the Dark star had risen to the size of a large medicine ball and was contiuning to grow. Hands eminating power dark powers rose up towards the Dark star, and Zilfer could feel a large pull in the force struggling against that Dark star. To his amazement the Dark Star had stopped moving, as Archos forced the surrounding matter away from the Dark Star successfully containning it. Slowly the Dark Star began to receed until it got the size of a fist as an intense amount of force pressure bared down upon it. Suddenly it began to grow once again slowly against the power of Archos. "Damn, he needs more power..." said Zilfer as a large moment from above came down towards the ground seperating. Zilfer could hear the flames of Wings as ten mitsukai landed around the Dark star. One of the Mitsukai looked up to Archos before speaking. "You were able to fight by Luster's side and the side of good once again. It's by this selfish act that we will help you Archos son of Anzu, So that your sin's may be forgiven." All the mitsukai began to draw upon their force powers and help Archos in closing. Zilfer could swear a dark Tear flowed down Archos' face before vanishing into nothing. The wound slowly began to close until at last with one final surge of strength they all closed the Dark Star. Zilfer stood there in a bit of awe, as Archos fell forward into the dirt. The other mitsukai came forward towards the body of Archos and the one who had spoken came towards Zilfer and Luster. "We flew as fast as we could, however it appears it was not fast enough." said the Mitsukai to Zilfer how nodded in reply. "It's a shame that another one of our brothers should be lost this day." Zilfer looked to the sky, that was beginning to clear up as the sun was coming out. "No, not lost. Archos found himself in the last moments of his life. If the tail of Archos son of Anzu should ever be told again, do not tell of how he lived his life, but how he died." Said Zilfer slowly putting on his mask that resembled that of Revan's mask. "Perhaps there is redeption for everyone.... but I'm afraid that is not the path of a shadow. Take care of Luster, and if he needs me, i'll be in the wilderness of Chinine." "Indeed I shall in form him. Shall you stay for the burial of Archos?" he asked, as Zilfer began to walk away. "To be a Shadow, is to be alone. I've become accustomed to waiting, and I do not like long goodbyes or sad endings." It was with this that Zilfer vanished into the void..... The Mitsukai looked back over to the body of Archos. Upon the surface of Tishi, all was silent as part of the blade of balance laid on the ground next to the Mitsukai's feet. Picking it up he shook his head as he walked towards Luster..... Days later...Luster rested his hand upon the grave of his student, in the small Mitsukai village. The grave was smooth beneath his hand as he ran his fingers along it. Upon the grave was the name Archos Ichijin, Son of Anzu, Student of Luster, and the only one to stop the powers of Dark Star."I had faith in you Archos.... I had faith." said Luster before leaving the burial ground. Three other graves could be seen standing next to Archos' grave. Atsuke, Jack, and Akira. A Falcon dropped from the trees landing upon Archos' grave resting there but for a moment, and taking off to the skies. OOC you guys can still post in the past, but i dont think i'll be posting in this topic again, so yeah.

Days Later...
Jor stood with Six at the site of the disturbance. It had been sealed but the area was still not sitting right with reality, like something was out of sync, or was warped somehow.
Six put his portable scanner down and turned to Jor. "Well, it will eventually heal itself. The universe always does when these kinds of things happen, but the consequences for opening up a hold in the universe are never good. If it just effected local space the galaxy could be feeling the repercussions of this for a long time at random points in space and time. It's impossible to predict."
"So your telling me we could still feel the effects of this long after the tear was sealed." Jor asked.
"Yep" Six answered. "Not only that but this area is a soft spot now. I'd recommend putting strict regulations of hyperspace travel in the area."
"Why hyperspace travel." Jor asked.
"When you jump to hypersapce your breaking the laws of physics. Your accelerating to lightspeed and then phasing partially into another dimension where the speed of light is non existent. you ripping through the walls of the universe every time you jump."
"so it's like throwing rocks and a window with spider web cracks in it already." Jor finished for him.
"yep" six said.
Jor sighed. "Ill let Galactica know."

Out in the forests of Tishi all was relatively quiet until a lone scream of pain echoed through the trees. It had been almost a week since Jack's death and several miles away under the cover of thick overgrowth Cain sat alone on a fallen tree. Blood dripped down onto the tree and then puddling on the ground. A large pool of blood had already formed as Cain seemed to be tweaking a new device attached to his neck. It went all the way around and up over his ears which had been badly injured in the battle.
With one more wince of pain Cain's arms lowered and he stretched out his neck. He put his gloves back on and collected his equipment, his lightsaber and a broken rusted blade that he sheathed at his side. Every breath Cain made was now accompanied by a mechanical wheeze. He then slipped his hood up over his head and started off into wilderness.
