Brain Drain

"Kazas wait...I must explain something to you alone." Reaching for his scythe. "I know you wish to understand if my spirits are controling me, so if you want to learn the answer we must talk alone." Grabbing his scythe he could feel the spirits rushing into his body. His eyes turned white and his veins became red. It almost seemed as if he was burning from the inside. A black light engulfed him cause him to disappear leaving a pile of ash and his scythe. Death's doors appeared in front of the ash pile. Vaas walked out of the doors looking like a new pony. "Seems you touched my scythe...did she talk to you?" Looking into the doorway seeing a golden spirit wave to him as he exited. As he stepped out of the doorway the door slammed shut disappearing into the ground. Picking up his scythe he unleashed a dark pulse, "That should help Seer out a bit, but for White I have no cure for her." Walking up to Kazas. "You have given me life again. It's my turn to repay the favor." Closing his eyes and reopening them his right hoof starting to glow green slowly moving it to Kazas's head, "This is how the dead show their thanks to you." Putting his hoof on his head Kazas body started to fix itself and renew his life energy. Removing his hoof his eyes went back to their normal shade of red. "Shall we have that talk now?"

Walking back to his cave Plague started to cook his dinner, "Cooked coconut...not one of my favorite foods, but whatever it talks to survive." Talking out loud. Checking for anypony near his cave, "I think I'm alone for now." Softly talking to himself. Taking off his mask running his hoof along his face feeling the cuts from the glass. Grabbing a rag and dipping it in some warm water he cleaned his wounds, "That sound take care of the bleeding, but I need to find something to fix that giant crack in my mask and need to find some glass to replace the broken glass in the eye stock it." Tossing the bloody rag in a corner of the cave.

Vaas woke from his slumber gripping his throat he could feel a cut, "Seems Raze did end my life, but somepony keeps bring me back. I think this is a sign..." Reaching into his bag pulling out a rope, "A brighter tomorrow shall not come but a darker night shall fill ponies with fear." Making a noose out of the rope he put it around his neck hiding the cut. He stood up feeling pain everywhere in his body he fell to the floor, "I can't be this weak...something doesn't feel right." Mumbling to himself. "Where's my scythe!?" Shouting in his head. Stumbling out of his tent falling to the floor he tried to regain stability. Laying on the floor he started to breath heavily, "Need to find Winter...if they touch my scythe they could learn how to stop me easily." mumbling to himself as he dragged himself to a tree to help him stand. Standing he could feel tons of pain rushing to his head making him collapse on the floor grabbing his side he could feel some blood coming for some cuts, "Need...to...find...Winter..." Laying against the tree breathing heavily and blood leaking from his cuts.

((OOC: Seems I'm still around somehow. Third time is the charm right?)) Vaas passed out out do to Diego's magic. Laying peacefully on floor, but his face show signs of disappointment and regret. Raze you killed somepony who surrendered you have lost all my respect. Kazas you attack my weak points to help Raze win...Hopefully obtaining more power I will unlock something that could wipe my memories from my mind. I would be heartless nothing would stop me from killing everypony in Equestria. I have a feeling once I wake up I will be in chains. I wll not face Celestia for my actions here. I won't even return for my pay. The profit of this mission seems to be srinking to something that's not even worth the trouble anymore. Next time we fight Raze I'll remember what you did to me as I surrenedered. I will show the same to you, but my style is more like ripping each hoof slowly and the most painful way. I wll rip your heart out and make you hold it as you bleed out. Nothing will stop my rage towards you next time...not even winter or anything from my past! He thought as he was sleeping.

Vaas had flashbacks of winter as Kazas spoke of her. Returning to the ground his body was engulfed in flames he released a huge waves of flames around him. Withdrawing Resh and all of his dark energy he was breathing heavily trying to control himself. "Speak of her again and your motherfucking head is coming off!" Staring at Kazas with his scythe pointed at him. One final shout of rage came out him before turning back to normal. He dropped his scythe and waited to see what they wanted to do with him. "Seems I will never get to finish Raze." Mumbling to himself as he watch all the ponies. Pointing at Raze, "I bet your going to kill me still. Aren't you?" Gazing at him with disappointment. Winter seems I won't be joining you seems I'm going to a darker place. My life has been curse do this ritual but I did it to save you and the others the pain of the plague. This is my reward for that...death. I know Raze is going to kill me since he some how lived from my spike and death mark! And then Kazas who plays with my weakness...fucking birds always attacking weak points. He thought as he waited. ((OOC: I just made my death bed pretty much, but whatever it's for the good of the RP.))

((OOC: Just fucking die already! I need you for something.)) Vaas witness Raze removing himself from the spike, "What the fuck is this madness?! Just stay dead already!" Noticing the death mark was gone. "Even my fucking death mark is gone!" Closing his eyes he could feel the rage building inside of him. His voice started to change into something very dark. You could see his breath as he spoke. His wings were set ablaze and his hoof were consumed with black fire. "Raze don't make me use my full force against you. I had plans for you, but if needed I will destroy my own plans to stop you!" A wicked smile came across his face. "I have a better plan..." Pointing his hoof at White Rose sending Resh behind her putting blades against her throat. "Surrender now or her life is over." Sealing Resh and White Rose in a shield of spirits. "I told you to protect her with your life...seems her life is in your hoofs now." Transforming into a mist disappearing from the battlefield. "If you move she will die." Vaas's voice coming from all around the forest. Cloning himself just in case somepony tried to pinpoint his location. ((OOC: I'm just going to stop you there before someone dies. Pick carefully...never know who will come back to haunt you.))

Vaas couldn't move after being hit with Diego's magic, "Why the fuck can't I move?!" Speaking out loud. "Who or what is doing this?!" Feeling variable. Resh I know you can hear me! Get me out of this mess so I can flee from here, so we can ambush the others later. Answer me Resh! Yelling to Resh in his mind. Looking around trying to find out who or what is doing this quickly looking at Raze's body, "Ok my mark of death is still on him...once I get the chance you will live once again, but this time your life is on a chain which is controlled by me." He mumbled to himself. "Diego you still alive?" Yelling out questionable. Vaas tried to focus his energy to break out this magic and take Raze's body to somewhere more private. "Fuck nothing is working on this shit!" Mumbling to himself. "I must get to that body, but how?" Thinking deeply. "Maybe Seer..." Focusing his thoughts on Seer. Seer answer me if you can hear me. If you want to be released from my curse than listen closely. First get me out of here without being killed. Second after I let you lose you won't turn on me. And finally me and you will be able to talk to each other with this power I granted you. Sending his thoughts to Seer.

Plague entered the cave hoping to find nothing but an empty cave. Listening for an echos of snoring or something move he couldn't hear anything. "Seems this place is safe for now." Whispering to himself as a crow landed on his head. Pulling out a vial of fire he set some dry wood ablaze lighting up the cave to find out it was huge cave, "Need to make a trap system before nightfall..." Talking to the crow. Taking the supplies from him he petted the bird and put him on a flat spot in the cave to rest. Walking outside he gather anything useful.

I'm a wiener...WAIT I MEAN WINNER!!!

((OOC: I'm always open to post just post and I will answer soon hopefully.)) Shaco stopped his cooking his oats putting down the spoon he was using picking up his candle turning to Kismet he placed the candle on a table between them. "It's is a honor to meet you lady Kismet. My name is Shaco of Manehattan at your service." Taking a seat as he waited on his oats to finish.

Plague nodded at her walking towards the jungle sending crows to gather supplies. One landed near Wheatley squawking at him for the medical supplies he had on him. He noticed a cliff near by as he got closer he found a cave. Pulling out the knife he walked in looking to see what was inside.

((OOC: You forgot something important and now the outcome will be different. Don't you love my tricks.)) Vaas laughed wickedly, "You lose this fight Raze!" His body began to turn into smoke. "Did you forget my clones?!" The true Vaas walking towards Raze's body, "What was that about double tap?" lifting his hoof creating a spike that impaled Raze. "You over looked my clones and that costed you your life. You blood savage monster. Should of just stayed in the cage and you could of lived, but now look at you..." Creating another spike impaling him from above. "I won't let you die, but you will know suffering and your life will be controlled by me and somepony else. But that will have to wait until I need to calm this bird down." Putting his hoof on Raze's face leaving death's mark on him. Turning to Kazas, "This was between me and Raze! You were a friend to me Kazas! If you wish to strike me down then I guess our friendship was never true!" Vaas showed no signs of fighting. "You know things were going to get bad between me and Raz! You knew it since my village! I don't wish to fight you, but I will not roll over and die!" Holding his scythe ready to fight if needed. ((OOC: I don't see that as G modding but more of a trick that was in play. And no one iis dying just yet...and my post works with this still even if I got ninja! ))

Vaas laughed as Raze stabbed him, "Look Behind you." A shadow pony rushed Raze entering his body attacking his brain. Raze fell to the ground in pain. Getting up Vaas stood over Raze, "You won't be healing this!" Slamming his scythe down into Raze's back twisting and turning the scythe inside Raze. He jerked the blade out of him, and wiped the blood from his scythe, "Let my taint flow through you." Dragging his scythe on ground he started to draw a symbol or a picture around Raze. Finishing his image he walked to Raze, "Just to make sure this fight stops..." Slashing Raze's legs and body. "Now it's time to keep you trapped as I help with the other fight." Striking the ground the image began to glow and a cage incased Raze, "I won't try escaping unless you want the life sucked out of you." Pointing to the bars around the cage. Turning to Kazas and Resh, "Should of let me fight him this would be over now, but you had to jump in." Standing next to Resh cloning himself again. "Let's see how you do 1v4. Shall we end this?" Quickly talking to Resh.

@@harmonyplus, "I like the plan so far, but I'm mostly going to be solo since I need to find supplies for my meditation." Walking up to Compass Rose. "Natural shelter is something I like better. Hopefully I can find a cave or something I can work with." Picking up a knife and tucking it in his coat.

Vaas laughed as blood poured out of him, "Seems I can actually fight this time." Smirking at Raze as he wounds stopped bleeding. "This time is going to be different I can promise you this...I'm not holding back anymore!" Quickly gazing at Kazas, "I may not be fit for this weapon but soon we will be as one, also I'll make sure sure that second chance will be for nothing. Seer has been spying on me for awhile now. She says she can help me but she is really gathering information on me, so she can report it back to White Rose." Pointing his scythe at White Rose. A piece of Vaas was inside Seer's mind, "Seer if this was you on my end things would be different they won't question you. They would never ask you what your were doing to me they would just keep moving along." Whispering for inside her. He dug his hoof into the ground and waited for Raze to charge at him. He sent spirits to shield their duel so anypony couldn't interfere. Strikes the ground ripping open a fissure that was going after Raze at the same time he morphed into three Vaas.

Vaas noticed that all the ponies gathered,"Diego I think this is where we say goodbye..." A sadness in his voice. "Seer you will break at my hands!" The mist moved towards her going inside her body. "You will be broken when I'm finished with my task." Moving up to the brain he rised his hoof and began to make her relive her worst nightmares and witness her own death over and over again. I will deal with the others later my main focus is this mage. She doomed us both, but Diego will return to his family. I promise you Diego nothing bad will happen to you, but if i'm killed in battle please bury me somewhere snowy... A tear fell from his eye but quickly turned into rage. "Seem your goal is complete seer...my death is coming soon now, and now I wouldn't be able to gain that power. If I'm going down at least one other pony is coming with me! I think I know who is coming with me...." Making her look at Raze. "My old friend Raze. He will spend ten years in darkness! I wish this could of ended differently, but seems the cards weren't in my favor this time."

Vaas's eyes quickly turning to Animal and Judith then looking at Diego with a sense of panic, "Seems we have more lurkers my friend..." Quickly turning to Animal and Judith his eyes started to turn black as shadows rushed after Animal and Judith. Once the darkness set in all three of the ponies were next to each other. "I think Seer has something to tell you two." A laughter tone to his voice. A twisting black mist moved around Diego's head, "I'll make sure they forget what they saw here except Seer...she could be useful to us..." The mist returned to the darkness. I think it's time to separate them...makes it easier to break each of their wills...I will start with Animal since he was the one to discover us after Seer. He thought. Shadows ponies soon walked out of the darkness, "It's good to see you again Seer and nice chains you have." The shadows laughed at Seer's suffering. The shadows turned to Animal, "Your time has come Animal. All is permitted...there is no honor in death." The shadows walking towards Animal. Chilling winds blew as a voice talked out of the darkness, "Don't fight us Animal just accept your fate for spying on us."

Vaas walked out of the darkness, but he seemed different. His eyes looked like if they could bring nightmares to life and his scythe was always leaving a blood trail or making a blood pool. As he walked a cloud of decay followed, "A daemon lord...No I'm death's most powerful reaper!" Multiple Vaas walked out of the darkness. "Don't fight us Seer just sit back and wait." The shadows grabbing her. "Now we must break your will...get her ready." All the Vaas's spoke at once. Chains started to form on her hoofs and the shadows started entering her body, "All is permitted...there is no honor in death." Everything speaking at once. All the Vaas's raised their hoofs and the darkness disappear. Seer was still in chains, but Diego could see what was happening now. He recalled all his clones, "Diego care to say some words to her to teach her about us and our struggles we had in life?" Lifting his hoof making the chains stick to the trees around. His looks returning to normal, but his powers still increasing. ((OOC: I think that could work, but I'm just going to add a little more before that or maybe after Pripyat and you post))

Vaas laughed at Seer, "My spirits have nothing to do with this I'm just trying to get this mission over with so I can continue my travels." Putting the scythe on his shoulder. "A better question why do you keep following me, and can you really trust the others?" A wicked smile appeared on vaas's face. Walking slowly rising his hoof, "Let's have a chat..." A shadow rushed Seer turning the surrounding area black. "We are alone now seer..." Vaas's voice coming all around seer. Shadows appeared in front of Seer, "Just think seer one mistake and they will have your head, but with us a mistake will never happen because everything is permitted." The shadows spoke as they walked around her. "Me and Diego may seem different then everypony else, but we were once like you until some form of corruption entered our life. Now we work with these dark forces to make us stronger and keep us alive to see a brighter tomorrow." A cold wind blows as vaas speaks. "Join us Seer! We are always looking for more." The shadows walking towards Seer. ((OOC: I was going for almost like a mind control, but mostly just Vaas's thoughts on making Seer join them.))

Vaas turned to Diego, "Seems something is on your mind. Care to explain?" Sticking his scythe in the ground. "It's been awhile since we have talked my friend, but it seems a lot has change for the both of us." Holding out his hoof. "Let me say I'm happy you answered my note." Smiling at Diego. A shiver went up his spine as spirits returned to him, "Somepony is near..." Looking around trying to spot anypony. "Diego if you could find our stalker I would like to talk to them." A flash of light coming from his eye. Grabbing his scythe he waited for the pony to come out of hiding. "Come now if you wish to talk we are willing to talk to you. We won't harm you." His grip tightening on the scythe. His eyes went black as he saw a picture of what was in the water, "Seer..." He mumbled. His eyes returning to normal leaning over to Diego, "Let's move but put something up that can trap whoever is following us. You know it's somepony from the group...like I said never trust them. They can't even leave us alone for five minutes. Oh yea i'm glad to hear you got letters from your family. I will make sure you will be able to see them you have my word." Whispering to him.

Vaas shook his head forgetting were he was, "How did I get here, and am I here?" Seeing Seer whispering something to White Rose. "Seems she learned something important must have been done when I was spacing out." Mumbling to himself. "I'll give her a lesson on reading my mind she won't soon forget..." A smile coming across his face. Walking to his tent grabbing his things and jumping in a tree he turned to Diego throwing something at his feet. Nodding at him he disappeared into the forest. "I will find this village, kill the necromancer, and finally take his power! I will do this all before they even reach the village. Hopefully Diego will read that note and meet me near the village, so we can both leave this dreadful group to their honor code." Mumbling to himself as he leaped from tree to tree. Stopping at a lake he noticed something felt off. Checking his surroundings he saw nothing just a lake. "Feels like somepony is watching me..." Holding out his hoof spirits stood in front of him waiting for their orders. "Scout the area and report to me our findings." Dipping his hoof in the water. The water rippled as his hoof hit the surface he looked at his reflection and noticed his face was cut up and dripping of blood he quickly touched his face finding no blood or cuts, "What the fuck is going on?!" Talking loudly. Noticing something in the water, "That can't be..." Grinding his teeth. "Seer..." Striking the water with his scythe and turning away waiting for his scouts to return.
