Death is not the only way out.

After the appearance of Maelstrom, all remained quiet for a while. It seemed Emblem might be somewhere, but he has an uncanny ability to hide and brood. This was restless to think about, but the titans went on, living, breathing, partying and fighting crime. Emblem's case was a silent one, and was laid to rest. The only one who fought Emblem since he had changed was Krious, and he barely got out alive. His actions did halt Emblem's plans for several months, but it did not stop him. Jump City Central Park would be rebuilt, but both Krious and Simca witnessed the atrocity and decided to fight their former friend...just not how.

The Slivers however, were much more concerned with Emblem's word, and those of Maelstrom. Maelstom initiated what Emblem had predicted. After the fight with Maelstrom, they told the Titans all they knew from Krious' first encounter with Emblem. That was all they knew at that time, before conducting more research.

Armageddon. A calamity which would destroy the planet. Triggered by the one man who had always tried to defend Jump City. A calamity unlike any other which should be prevented. A meteor of enormous size was coming, that was for sure. Emblem would not bluff about such an achievement. A demonic thing to do, but definitely an achievement.

Krious, Simca, Shadow and Apache all tried their hardest to find clues by searching where ever they could. Before Maelstrom had showed up, Emblem had already infected their minds with worries, leading to a search.

It did not take long before Krious and Shadow found the first steps on the path that would lead to answers. Upon entering Emblem's old home, the one place that had remained, they saw that it was destroyed. However, some forces cannot be destroyed with just pyrokinesis.

Upon searching near Emblem's vast collection of books, Shadow found one that had not been turned into ashes. A black book with a leather cover. This book had touched the hellfire, but was not absorbed by it. Only holding the book felt like you were about to discover

Krious, ever the analyst, found a stone tablet, which Emblem entitled ''The Gospel of Mark 5:9''. The tablet was one seriously malicious piece of old. Broken china and burned paper suggested Emblem has studied spent many hours in front of the tablet, drinking coffee and plowing through thick volumes of encyclopedia. The tablet had not been taken away, probably meaning Emblem knew what it meant. However, although a bit dusty, it did not crumple in the wake of destruction.

All the smaller figures seemed to fear the big ones, and even the god of death, Anubis, was there...but he was smiling for some strange reason. For one thing Emblem didn't seem to have taken it with him, so he must know what it means.

One thing was for sure, Emblem had always craved knowledge, and his cravings had provided him with some very powerful objects and artifacts. Both heroes thought these two items were all that remained in the home of their fallen friend, and took them back for examination. The book however, showed it's magics before even leaving the premises.

The Book seemed to be a sentient being. It had only one desire: To spread knowledge. To do so, people needed to read it. The book wanted to be read by his new owners. With golden letters, a simple riddle explained how the book could be used. Provide some energy and it will answer questions. It seems a weird book as it would note any mental irregularities, watching spelling and not showing everything without proper energy to do so. It was able to get tired.

The book had a catch unknown to the heroes. Induce your magic and it searches your soul, documenting all facts known. In doing so, the book learns more and interweaves facts in stories. Emblem had used the book multiple times, and so, the book knew what had happened in Emblem's past. By adding their energies, the book knew about Shadow's past as a 'lab rat', and was able to document the GEII corporation, which was destroyed by Krious, with the help of Emblem.

The book told Shadow and Krious about The Infinimagus Initiative, lores of ancient, taught them to look at history from a different perspective, and more importantly, Aesshaetrre, and the Chalice of Harmony, which were respectively linked to the Ice Age and the Egyptian line of Pharaohs. It seemed the history of Emblem, was linked to the history of the world. In their first barrage of questions, it seems they discovered Emblem had scribbled a little in the corner of the book, much to the Book's dislike. It was vague, but it seemed Emblem never asked the book about himself, and wanted to show it to Krious, to help Krious in uncovering his own past. This was astonishing, as Emblem had amassed all kinds of knowledge to learn about his magically induced powers, but was burned to present this to Krious first. A last remnant of the old Emblem.

Asking question to the book a second time, now fueled by Krious, the book exhausted himself just to give the heroes more to think about. This time, the book seemed to be a very analytical thinker, telling the heroes about the Elemental teachings of old, his view on Pandora's box, linking Emblem's Libra star sign to his fate of Duality, and linking his elemental affinity to that of his deceased fiancee.

Maybe the biggest thing in the book was his explanation of the tablet; The Gospel of Mark 5:9 referred to Legion. Legion, and his lust to destroy the World. Legion and Hellion are described as the possible 8th sin, which took down many empires, and was feared even by Anubis. After a huge chunk of information, the book closed itself, resting to spread it's knowledge a different time. Krious gave the book to Shadow, who was thankful to add such a promising artifact to her collection.

Apache and Simca had gone a different route to obtain knowledge. Simca had not only created the Slivers to combat threats, she had also been searching for different ways to stop Emblem. Killing him would not only be a tough thing to accomplish, it would also be very hard on Simca. Especially since the times she met Emblem, he had always been friendly to others. He was a bit peculiar, impulsive, and mentally unstable, but friendly. Blinded by his own unresolved business, he would never put someone in harm's way, he would always be the one taking the blows, had he been given a choice.

Apache provided Simca with an option for research, and an option for combat. It seemed that searching the places where he has caused destruction would not be a good idea. Emblem's impulses make him either talk or destroy, not really leaving a trace with the second option.

The combat option was one Apache would rather prevent using. If Emblem's mind was unstable and with that, susceptible, he could try to connect with Emblem's spirit in a shamanic ritual. With that, he could change Emblem. However, as Apache's vision showed him, he would have a chance of being overpowered by the force Emblem possessed, and the psychic feedback would kill him. Simca would keep it in mind as a last resort as Apache was willing to do so if it would save the planet. However, it might not stop the meteor.

Apache's research option proved invaluable as he suggested to avoid looking for clues about Emblem, and walk down a bit of a different path. Apache was a shaman prodigy, and with the right focus, could call spirits. It took a good week before he was ready, but together with Simca and the rest of the Slivers, Apache gathered in his room. Apache's room was like Jump's Forest. He had adorned himself with a brown feathered haori, and sat with his back against a big tree. When the other Slivers came in, Apache had already entered Spellbloom, where he would recall his spiritual energies in complete focus. The tree that served as his support seemed to glow, as if entering instantaneous photosynthesis, creating it's own light. All members knew this tree would vanish when Apache broke focus, but as it was, it stood firm, making the room look like an amazon jungle, dense, with a small canopy in the middle.

The Slivers sat in circle, with a comfortable campfire in the middle. The wooden blocks seemed to sing as the fire danced, raising the temperature in the room with it's spreading warmth. Apache's eyes glowed green. The other Slivers knew what was going to happen. They were not to speak to Apache until the spirit was called. He only had one shot with his current power level. If it failed, it would get harder, and he had to prepare for weeks again.

The flames shot up once and changed color to a light blue all of the sudden, amazing the Slivers, turning their heads to the flames. The flames slightly went from sky blue to ethereal green, showing Apache's progress. After ten minutes of waiting in complete silence, the other members wondering how far he was progressing, and if it was going to work at all. Apache would always have a knack for pushing himself. Just when they wanted to ask, Apache's figure moved a little before taking in heaps of air. One eyes blinked and was back to normal. Apache looked around, telling the others he had made contact. Emblem's fiancee was underway. His eye turned back to green ethereal energy, as he needed all his focus to keep the spirit in the room.

A chain seemed to form from sprouting flames, to Apache. From the fires came a tinted woman, dressed in the same robes as Emblem had always worn. She smiled, and moved out of the flame. She wasn't very long, had long brown hair tied down in a weaved ponytail, and a fancy necklace. She did not talk, but all questions were asked mentally. Her voice was soft, smooth, and soothing with ease. It took a minute before she could continue, feeling the Slivers had to get familiar with her presence.

Later on she learned why; Maelstrom had taken an identical appearance, and she was opposite in behaviour. She did not disclose her name, saying it was of no importance. If they needed to, The Slivers could call her Vidina, which meant 'future'.

At first Apache asked her about Emblem when he was at her village. There seemed to be no problem there. It was clear why Emblem had kept the robe. She had made it. It seemed the Emblem nobody ever knew was trying hard, proving himself to the village. He had gone there in his search for answers. His powers had been granted overnight, and only the Slivers knew how, having learned that from the book.

Vidina then looked at the Slivers, asking if something was wrong with Emblem. Before they could answer, Vidina sighed and stated she thought it would happen once. Emblem had lived in the village for years, teaching how to control his powers, building a life with Vidina, and fighting off wild animals in their defense. He was always eager to learn, and stated he would not know what to do when he would lose her, and everything else. He had a hard time adjusting, and had to fight for his right to be given a name, but he succeeded.

Vidina told the Slivers that Emblem lived through the destruction of the village, and saved her from the evil resurrection at the hands of Alastor Yamaedus, one of the Four from GEII, and destroyer of the village. Even if he had been a hero, he would brand himself a demon, knowing Alastor was after him all along. She had a strong connection, and knew Emblem had fallen to mental illness. However, since Emblem had turned evil, there has been no connection. Nothing. She has trusted him to establish a new connection, but nothing happened. Vidina knew he must have been possessed.

Upon asked how to deal with this Emblem, Vidina requested if they have anything that was once in his possession, and if she could see him. The Sliver's A.I., Aeon, helped by showing footage of Emblem talking to Krious, footage of their fierce fight, and of Maelstrom, who resembled Vidina, but with a very different feel. An evil feel. Vidina seemed calm under all circumstances, even when she saw Maelstrom have the same powers as she had. She was one who could control water as well.

Vidina nodded and raised her hands. She seemed to understand it all, and impossible as it seemed, water sprouted from the ground.

''You are not fighting your friend. Emblem is held captive in his own mind, forced in a state of dreaming while his powers are being misused. Even his memories of me are subject to the corruption, as you can see. Until his quest for clarity is completed, the world as you know is going to cease existence. If he hated anything in the world, it was unfinished or sloppy done errands.''

The water seemed to rise in a pillar before taking the form of a cup. It was unmistakeably the Chalice of Harmony, the one object Emblem searched for in Egypt. It still remains a mystery as to how she could have conjured it, but she noted that Chalice was the real one. Emblem had been lured in a trap with a fake one, where he drank, allowing Legion in, which slowly took over his entire system.

''Now I part with you. Only great unity will defeat the demon. I present you one last gift, and with that, request. Emblem is a victim of his own mind. Show him my necklace. He made it, he will recognize it. Make him drink from the Chalice. Save him, for he has saved me, and countless others many times. Be strong, as Emblem's desire for inner peace, and his deep feelings for me created this Maelstrom, representing water. Fire, Water, Electricity, Air and Earth will all be your enemies.''

With that, Vidina gave her necklace to Simca, and with a generous bow, she departed again, the chain being severed. As Vidina dissolved into pyreflies, some might think they saw a tear on her face. Her resolution and stalwartness were admirable.

Wolf and Hawk, Apache's companions showed themselves, jumping from behind a tree with a glass of water. Apache however, seemed to need more then a glass of water this time. Gradually throughout the ceremony, sweat formed on his brow and he breathe more heavily, although just as slow as he did in his trance. When all was gone and the fire turned back to normal, Apache's tranced pose, with folded-in legs and hands resting on his lap, remained the same. He opened his eyes, and with heavy heaving, asked if it had worked. When this was confirmed, all he did was nod in approval, before he fainted. He already knew he had succeeded, he just had to know if it had results.

It seemed he had overexerted himself in the process as he collapsed on the 'Forest' floor, his feathered Haori falling to the side with him, covering him like a blanket. Hawk and Wolf sat by him, and the others left, knowing all Apache needed now, was rest.

It would not take long before the skies turned dark, yet lit by a strange orange-red light. A single star was seen when you would look up. The earth itself seemed to sweat as the temperature was steadily rising. Wit ha single torrent of fire, Emblem rose up from a nearby mountain.

The Red Ravager hovered above Jump, with a sadistic grin on his face. His appearance had changed even more from the last time anyone had seen him. Krious had once seen him shapeshift, as did Simca. However, this one seemed hardly human anymore.

Emblem's skin was reddish, with menacing orange lines, pumping his lava-like blood. Emblem's eyes were demonic red, and the same black runes he had were all over his body, yet they had grown bigger and thicker, and even changed shape again, now showing runes that were known in no earthen language. Emblem's hair was jet black, thrown over his shoulders, stretching all the way down his lower back. Emblem's body seemed stretched to it's physical limits, accelerating the years of training spent in solitude. He had a very menacing glow, a most demonic feeling.

People screamed, fled in fear of what calamity was next to come. Emblem laughed. There was no escape to this calamity. Death was the only way out.

Not long after the earth seemed to go orange, and Emblem had finally shown himself, Titans and Slivers appeared in hordes. They all seemed to be poised to stop Emblem, finally knowing what he was up to. But how were they going to do this if Emblem was up there, and they were either on high skyscrapers, or on the ground, trying to save the city from falling apart in chaos?

On Jump's Church Square, one of the largest open areas, Emblem lowered himself, grinning, glowing with menace and brimming with power.

''I welcome you all to the Armageddon. Please enjoy your deaths. I know I will.''

Fire arose from the ground, alerting all Titans that danger was inbound. Four pillars rose from the ground, two to Emblem's left and two to his right. When the debris was cleared and the fire stopped, Apache felt a stinging sensation. This was why he had seen five 'Emblems'.

Emblem did not stand alone. Immediately to his right, Maelstrom stood, followed by a somewhat sulky male figure, looking a bit disproportionate in terms of human size, with shorter legs and a tad longer arms. His skin looked like a combination between bark and human skin, and his hair looked somewhat like weeds and vines.

To his left, two male individuals seemed to hold themselves on the spot just barely. Emblem's direct left hailed a male figure with black long hair and facial hair ,adorning many cuts on his tanned skin, with a big tattoo crossing it as well. He had a sword almost as big as he was, and had a grin as wide as possible. His left arm was armoured, and next to that, he wore nothing but shorts, lengthened on one part with a cloth, marked with the same symbol as his chest tattoo.

To the far left of Emblem stood a white haired, red eye young man, dressed in a black young jacket with some white striped across it. He has a double circled pendant which also functions as a shutting mechanism for said jacket. While the white hairs seemed to cover most of his face up, the left eye was clearly seen, and the sadistic smirk. The man had small sparks of electricity shoot from him to nearby surfaces all the time, indicating he was quite a shocking foe to face.

Death is not the only way out - The Story of Emblem Volt10

With Emblem stretching out his left hand, the four enemies shot forward, knowing who to attack. It was logical in a sense: These powerful beings were all sentient, but all connected. It was only logical they had a plan. Slice and Volt attacked head one, While Maelstrom and Yggdrassil seemed to take a more evasive approach.

It seemed that plan came down to one thing; Emblem had the Slivers all to himself. With a bang, it seemed the fighting had commenced. And what intense fighting it was. It was a huge melee. Emblem looked around, grinning. These five were the prime being; the best localization of powers.

Maelstrom, Envoy of the Beginning, was Legion's incarnation of Water. While she took the appearance of Vidina, she was unlike her in every way. Maelstrom was cold, calculating, and would always keep her goal in mind. Her control over Ice and Water are amazing, as she had shown before. Yet this time, she was not just baiting the Titans to start the Armageddon, this time, she was fighting for real. While only Apache got hurt last time they met, the faith of the Titans seemed grim, as their odds were less then the last time, and only solid teamwork would defeat Maelstrom.

In Maelstrom's general area, yet half a block away, was Yggdrassil, the incarnation of Earth. Yggdrassil preferred to be inside a well crafted tree, which sprung from the ground the moment he touched Jump City Park's soil. From this tree, vines sprouted with such fervor and madness, attempting to turn Jump into a forest. These vines were hard, lashing out at any hero that attempted to reach Yggdrassil's tree. Flowers started spreading poisonous pollen, creating a hard defense, and a deadly offense. Both Maelstrom and Yggdrassil preferred shaping the battleground to suit their needs, and have a huge strategic advantage.

Volt and Slice were not so much technical as they were of the brawling type. Volt was the incarnation of Electricity, moving as fast as lightning, and striking as hard as thunder, shocking all who stood in his way. Creating fiery magical bolts from a dark sky, he was hellbent on electrocuting all Titans...just to smell their burned flesh. Slice had a different idea. Although not as fast as the teleportive Volt, Slice used the air currents to slow his opponents, make himself faster. Combining that with his strong swinging arm and his extremely sharp sword, Slice was a fierce opponent, never giving up, always returning blows. His armored left arm would stop any attack dead in it's tracks, and even deliver a whallop would he want it to.

And then there was Emblem, mounting the offense of the century. While any other hero was busy fighting for their lives and that of others, Emblem surrounded a perimeter with intense fire. This time, there was no talk to begin with. No questions. No expression. No doubt. Emblem rushed forward, poised to strike. Krious met him and a small explosion of mixed fire and darkness was the first blow since a long time between old friends.

However, Krious realized one thing. The more they fought, the more magic was used. The longer the battle, the faster Aesshaetrre, The God Destroyer, would be here. Simca, Krious, Apache along with Wolf and Hawk and Shadow would have to make this quick. In doing so, Krious thought it was best to rule down the odds set by the Five Incarnations. Apache and Shadow were sent off to fight with the other Titans, believing they had what it takes to take their enemies down.

Apache raced to meet Yggdrassil, and Shadow went off to clash with Maelstrom. Their previous knowledge had made Shadow read the Book of Knowledge more and more, believing she knew what had to be done to take down Maelstrom. Possibly, she found Maelstrom a disgrace to the memory of Vidina. It was true they had only met once, but it wasn't an ordinary meeting.

Apache knew that he had to fight for his natural instincts. Had he stayed within Emblem's destructive perimeter, he would have been useless in defeating his foe. Apache's strength was with nature and spirits, matching him against Yggdrassil.

After hours of fighting, with the heroes finding their foes were not only insane, but also very hard to even counter, the meteor showed itself. The more magical warfare, the faster it approached. Something had to happen, as this stalemate would lead to the destruction of planet Earth.

Krious and Simca had one shot at defeating Emblem, but the time did not seem right. Emblem had too much defense up as it was. It was possible he had not even gone all out. As his flames got higher and higher while seeing the meteor, Krious knew that was going to happen now. With a pyroclasm surrounding him, Emblem laughed as his appearance changed.

Emblem, in his twisted version, was gone. There was a whole new entity standing in front of them. It was a demonic presence, only vaguely shaped like a human, with a huge torso, yet no head. The head was on the torso.

Death is not the only way out - The Story of Emblem 37352210

''Hellion, I presume?'' said Krious before they would continue combat. Hellion powers seemed even stronger then Emblem, constantly pushing the Slivers back. How glad they were that a new set of armor, more fire resistant then ever, had protected them from any grave burns so far. When they had the chance, Krious and Simca discussed how to deal with him. This got less and less as Hellion's ferocious attacks continued. There seemed no end in sight. The meteor Aesheattrre would hit, and all life on earth, along with the planet itself, would be eradicated.

Hellion, with a low double vocal demon voice, mocked the heroes of Jump. None had been able to defeat the Legion of Five. However, as he wanted to continue his mocking, a clear flash erupted, and all the wildly grown trees and wildlife instantly vanished. Street reconnected, buildings were put back in place. It seemed the Titans and Apache defeated Yggdrassil.

Defeating one of the Five would yield positive results. It would revert their destructive changes back to how it was before they came. Yggdrassil was a master in manipulating his surroundings, and it was only a fitting reward to those who fought him to see this result. However, neither Krious nor Simca could discern any Titan or Apache emerge from that chaos.

Hellion roared in laughter as he mocked Yggdrassil for being beaten. It seemed that he was a master strategist, but being beaten by mere mortals was a shame unlike any other. However, shortly after, three other flashes erupted, which almost fully restored Jump to it's original state.

Hellion roared as he did not expect this. Orbs flew back towards him and circled around him, flames sprouting everywhere. Four of five had been beaten, and all he had was his wall of flames blocking others to enter. With a roar, he charged, and surprisingly fast, got hold of Krious. How he achieved this feat was a mystery, but he would not let go.

''A man of Darkness, as yourself, is going to like this. Welcome, new Brother of the Legion.''

The four orbs went from circling around Legion, towards Krious. The orbs flickered, once as cold as ice, the other raging with blasts of wind, a third looking like a wooden marble and the last cracking with thunder. They emerged together, creating one orb of the purest darkness. Slowly but steadily, the orb hovered towards Krious, and black thunder seemed to be going from the orb...to him. The orb vanished as it gave all it's power to Krious, yet it was not a painful procedure. When Hellion dropped him, Krious' clothes were smoking. And he did not move.

Time seemed to freeze until signs of life were seem, Krious stirring and getting up from the ground. Or rather, teleporting upright. He did not speak, but he had a black aura around him, as if he was a living void, no life, no light. Hellion grinned in satisfaction and turned towards Simca. With another teleport, Krious stood behind her. He attempted to stab her, and in the current confusion, only Legion seemed to be laughing.

However the laugh ended soon. Just before he struck, Krious teleported and the motion to stab ended up to hit Hellion, piercing his demonic flesh instantly. Simca was the element of surprise, Krious had remained his humanity.

What happened the following minutes had still been described as a fight between light and dark. And as never-ending. Flashes of fire met orbs of pure darkness, Hellion flying due to flames sprouting form his legs, Krious teleporting one after another. Then, one massive explosion, followed by silence.

Hellion fell to the ground, and a black shape next to him seemed to stand, breathing heavily as he appeared to have used the last of his strength. Krious and Simca lifted the now powerless Hellion to his knees, knowing they had to do what they thought was best. For some reason, bearing to killing Hellion, and with him Emblem, was only going to be the last resort. Ever. Instead, Simca grabbed the Chalice of Harmony she had kept with her all the time. As if magic, the chalice seemed to fill with water. How this happened was clear one second later, as Vidina materialized in front of them, with a stern look on her face. It was now or never.

Death is not the only way out - The Story of Emblem Chalic10

Hellion eyes met Vidina's eyes, and with a scream of terror the demonic entity recognized a member of that human tribe he thought extinct for all but Emblem. Hellion did recognise vidina, but so did Emblem. As Simca poured the water down Hellion's throat, Vidina asked one thing in a stern yet soft voice, barely more then a whisper.

''Emblem, what would you sacrifice to gain your desired clarity?''

Emblem had been mentally awakened in shock as he had witnessed the spectre of his loved one, a sight he would have thought never to see again. Coming from Hellion's mouth, Emblem's voice rang clear. While it was gross to see a demon held down in his fiery appearance, the voice was human, as it was Emblem's voice, yet sounding as if had just woke up, or was not fully awake yet.

''For total Clarity, I sacrifice not only Hellion, the demon of Fire, but also Legion, the 8th Sin. I purge them from my body and mind in tribute to the Chalice.''

A pure blue light started shining from the chalice, and Hellion seemed to be in agony, screaming as his skin seemed to turn to dust. Within seconds, he had transformed into a more human shape. Emblem's shape, to be precise. While he was in a terrible shape, Emblem opened his eyes and sat up. Upon seeing Krious and Simca, he could only utter one thing. His voice was jagged as much as his body was due to that long year of demonic abuse of his powers, while he was kept asleep.

''..Please tell me this has all been a terrible dream. A nightmare.''

Krious not Simca said anything. Emblem looked around, yet he did not see Vidina. Until he felt her hands. She stood behind him, and her hands were on his shoulders, her hair draping over him as she seemed to cry ghostly silent tears of joy. Emblem looked at her, and conformed if this was the time. Yet he knew it was. With a nod, Simca and Krious helped Emblem up, supporting him on both sides.

''With my powers came a curse. The Curse of Legion. And now, apparently a meteor as well. Destroying Earth. Not on our watch, huh?''

Emblem seemed to levitate up slowly, holding his hands to both sides, as if he had wings. When he was about 100 feet up, Aesheattre came through the clouds. Emblem seemed to want to hug it, but everybody knew that was insane. The world was coming to an end, the meteor was so close. Yet Emblem incited an incantation all the way until he had reached the 100 feet. As he spoke the last word, a huge beam of the purest white light shot forward, pushing the meteor back. Slowly but steadily, until it seemed to penetrate the meteor's surface, and diverted his course. The meteor was steered away from Earth, and shot off in a different direction.

The danger had passed, and Emblem smiled. Until he fainted again. He lost control and fell to the ground, but was caught by Simca and Krious. He looked like a mess, but even with his eyes closed, he spoke.

''The only way to truly destroy those two demons is to banish what they wanted most. The Infinimagus Initiative. It was my strongest power, yet I have no desire for it if it endangers my friends, and our world. Now all that is in danger, is my continued existence. If anyone is willing, bring me to Impel Down. I am sure people will know of my innocence in time, but until then, I need to be locked up, and Arkham has seen enough of me.''

With one last look at Emblem, Vidina disappeared with a smile. She would never truly leave him. The skies cleared, and every Titan and Sliver could hear a song. A song that soothed the soul, and calmed the mind. It was over. Vidina sang, and the sun started shining again. As if nothing has ever happened...

*END OF EPISODE*

(Now finally, Emblem is what he is supposed to be again, a good guy.)

OT: So should we ever respond to this like in a 'the next day thread'? Or refer to it in our future posts at all?

It happened. If you wish it to be so, you were there fighting one of the 4 Wink . I might even make flashback threads to RP those fights, maybe :P

This story was going to be a massive set of different threads I had planned. while it worked alright in the beginning, time to prepare right was too low to do everything right. I either do it right or I don't do it at all.

As it is now, the story explains how evil Emblem 'died' and Good Emblem came back. Why he is where he is, and what crisis Jump had been put through.

You could reference to this, of course. You don't have to. It's there to explain Wink
