Post-Apocalyptic War Pt. VII :: Prime Chaos; Pandemonium

Quote :

With a casual chuckle, Shinrona left the realities to be as they were and rose up into the air, letting himself be consumed by a powerful wind. The wind swirled around him and glowed as green as his Heart Chakra did, illuminating everything with its splendor in a similar fashion as had been done during his appearance. This whipping wind subsided with Shinrona having transformed into a female; a vixen of nine fox tails. Completely naked and in the form of a Goddess, Taomin, the Spirit of the Heart, was borne of Shinrona's summoning and transformation.

The beautiful and gorgeous Goddess of the Wind, Taomin, hovered in the air and let clouds of darkness cover her naked form, surrounding the planet, as they would when a Horseman appeared. She would rest her elbows in the grooves of the clouds as her green markings and eyes glowed as brightly as her beaming fanged smile. "It's My Job To Make Sure You Jerks PAY For Hurting MY Feelings!" Tao shouted, "And I'm Going To Use Your Own Little Horseman To Do It!"

Pumpkinhead had already caused the natural disasters to occur around the planet and Shinrona trapped everyone in isolated realities so that they would not notice the destruction. Now they were going to be rudely awakened to a pissed off Goddess that would be puppeteering the fabled 'Horseman' that threatened their existence, only assisting in the destruction of the Lost World that the Tensei sought.

And so, with the dark clouds of Taomin, the Kazegami, that world was plunged into 'Pandemonium'... Prime Chaos.

The coming of the Black Horseman was clearly a direct result of the actions of the Veritas, and was the intention the entire time. Taomin smirked cockily, letting her fangs shine in the light of her glowing green tribal markings. She watched below as the animals scattered and the realities of the Lost Worlders began to blend together, yet still remain isolated from one another. They were just now feeling the effects of the Veritas' influence, though it might have been masked as the Horseman's. Taomin, herself, when deprived of her Fun was more of a 'Famine' than any sort of Horseman could be. Taomin's eyes widened as the Lost World fell into The Insanity once again.

"BAHAHAHAHA!!!" Tao thundered, a booming laugh resonating as thunder itself throughout the planet, "YOU STILL HAVEN'T LEARNED YOUR LESSON?! HAAAHAHAHA!" She grasped the blackened pillows of billowing wrathful vapors below her and clenched them tightly with her claws, as if trying to get a balloon to pop. "THEN ALLOW ME THE PLEASURE!!!"

When Famine appeared, Taomin was all over it, for she'd already deprived the land of light with her dark clouds. She swiped a claw that tore through reality, splitting the clouds in twain and also the false reality that was the peace of the Lost World in one go, leaving the ruptured space and time that seemed like this Horseman's doing. Life withered away as the Horseman neared them, and Tao had a front row seat to it all. Every step of the Black Horseman created and spread Prime Chaos, which was what Taomin intended to do with her dark clouds.

A tumultuous, but silent wind blew... And it could be almost be thought of as the sound of screaming laughter.

Taomin saw as the tiny ants that were the Lost Worlders fell to their knees, their leader as weak as a single bug. He was already going bad, for Insanity spewed from him in the torrents now that the effects of the Veritas were being felt more completely. It was clear that his fall and the fall of what he was holding up would come without warning and without mercy... By hand of the Veritas, just as the first 'Lost World' did. They weren't aware that this wasn't their first one. How pitiful.

But. They were ready to fight. As usual.

"Heh. It's Going To Take A Lot To Simply Undo What You've Done. You're Already Headed Back Down The Road To Ruin By Powers You Don't Understand." Taomin, the big, bad wind, took a deep breath and absorbed all of the energy in the air and hoarded it within the clouds, causing them to thicken and darken even further. They were now pitch black and still swarming over the planet... But, in the isolated realities of the Lost Worlders, they would still be able to see what they believed were their suns and moons. This was all a reality warping technique left by Shinrona in the Fifth Restriction that Taomin in the Sixth Restriction was going to make clear was nothing but a falsehood. The claw mark in reality left the effects of the 'Horseman' to deteriorate what it would, but it was all simply a delusion. What they thought they were fighting was nothing more than the Kazegami, herself -- Taomin.

Try as they might, they were still the same weaklings that they were then and now.

"You Can't Talk Your Way Out Of This One, Bud," Taomin said, knowing that they were drained of their energy because of the Famine she inflicted upon them. They simply couldn't completely repel the power of Taomin's 'Presence'.

The great cloud of darkness that was Taomin continued to observe one particular part of the planet where the Famine had begun, but would soon move on to the other parts when the time came for it. The weaklings that were with the Astral King were already on their knees and Tao loved every second of it. The Tensei were like something out of their nightmares, and it was only because they were the enemy right now. Otherwise, the Tensei would be like those out of a beautiful dream.

Taomin relished in the sight of the powerlessness of the feeble Lost Worlders and how easily they were crippled, their energy dwindling to nothing by the hand of this would-be Famine. Little did they know, it was actually the Tensei's handiwork draining them and their planet, and this Horseman was just an illusion -- nothing more, nothing less. A delusion they'd created to keep themselves from recognizing the truth of the matter -- that the Tensei were aggressively assaulting them.

But, Taomin was getting rather bored of watching the weak become weaker, especially because that's all she was doing; watching. She wanted some action, but that could only happen when their delusion of a Black Horseman came to act and Taomin could manipulate the reality of the situation to her liking. Though, that would have to wait. There were other insects roaming around stirred up because of the Tensei's influence disguised as this Famine, and the whole little planet was finally starting to understand. The invaded beings -- Chomao, Mechanica, And Tomons alike -- were, though in plain sight, hidden away from them outside of their isolated realities, keeping watch over every single creature that roamed the Lost World's surface and interior, waiting for the right moment and command to deal with them. It wouldn't be until after their realities were shattered, however.

"Seems Like They Can Hear Me Speaking," Taoming concluded, as they all seemed to be disturbed by the voices of the black wind. She smirked yet again. "But I Wonder If They Can Hear Me Laughing!? AAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" With that cocky laugh, another dark wind passed over the realm, causing the inhabitants to go wild. Strange occurrences would happen to each of them, and they could hear Taomin's voice as a distorted garbled up mess of Prime Chaos. Their powers would react to Taomin, mostly negatively, at that.

They were out of breath and already out of options. Taomin was literally sucking the air and energy out of them and storing it for herself within the clouds. The infernal mixture of all of these energies brought the clouds to a bubble and a boil, almost like a writhing concoction that brewing for destruction.

In an instant, they felt a shift in the wind. The energy in the air had changed, they'd watch as the clouds shifted, and they'd feel the sudden surge of hostility fill the airways of the already chaotic atmosphere. It sent chills up his the spine. Their ears would crackle from the deafening silence which fell upon them as the being of pure malignity continued to draw breath from them -- most literally.

"Gimme Those Souls." She spoke in a tongue in which they didn't understand completely, but that was done purposefully to distort what they heard and how they heard it. Where they believed that they were having a conversation, they were actually only hearing commands and laughter that took different vibrations in the wind and into their ears.

Still, as they spoke to the apparition sent by the Tensei, Taomin had already grown bored, and would search for the next of them throughout the black cloud that encircled the planet. There was more than one isolated reality that she had to deal with, and most of them were widely inconsistent. That was intentional, and a detriment to the overall progression of the Lost World.

"Have Fun With Your Delusions, Chumps. It's Gonna Take WAY More Than THAT To Satisfy ME!!"

Out in another part of the planet, not too far off from where the 'main course' was roasting, one cute little bug that Taomin had a history of running into -- the weevil -- was worming his way into the scene from out of the swampland. Taomin would spend little to no time with him, but would keep a watchful eye in the clouds for what he would be doing. "According To My Calculations..." Taomin said almost brainily, "... The Weevil Should Be Heading To The Center Of Our Insanity." Taomin licked her sharp, pointed fangs with her tongue, slipping her upper torso down into the blackened clouds to the point where only her glowing green eyes could be seen. "I'm Gonna Fuck Him Up," she'd say blatantly as he slipped away. There wasn't anywhere on the planet any of them could travel that Taomin wouldn't see, since Taomin was covering the entire thing with her black cloud of a body. She just wanted to make it clear that she wasn't just focusing on the center of all of the hullabaloo and was actually paying attention to the rest of the planet, as well.

"Speaking Of Fucking Up," Taomin practically laughed speaking, "What About These Chumps That Think They're In The Past? They Don't Really Get How Isolated Realities Work Too Well, Now Do They?" Taomin split her eyes into several parts by parting the clouds in several places, layering herself so that there were multiple sets of clouds littered all over the numerous parts of the sky, linearly and planar. Vertically and horizontally. The many-eyed clouds dispersed, yet remained conjoined by relatively thin strips that looked almost to be like hair from one's hair... Only, in the shape of clouds.

"This One's Gonna Be A Hoot," Taomin said as she gazed into the isolated reality that they thought to be a 'flashback', "But Nothing's Really Going On Here. I Might As Well Go To Where The REAL Party's At..."

There was another concentration of people that had gathered somewhere on the planet which weren't dealing with the Insanity right now... But soon would be. Apparently, at least one of them could sense the change in the atmosphere, but that was more or less wholly neglected due to the company she kept. How boring. "Huh, Guess It's Not So Interesting After All," Taomin said, rising up from the clouds still naked and in a reclined position, as if resting on a bed. "I Suppose..." she began to say, each cloudy appendage of her that rolled off of her long, black hair and down her back, merged with them both, carrying her across the dark sky, "... I'll Just Have To Wait And See If They Do Anything Else Worthy Of My Time. If Not, I Can Just Get To The Seventh Restriction And Let My Normal Guy Form Handle It." This was Taomin's conclusion.

Taomin was starting to get bored again, playing with one of her fox tails, when suddenly... Someone moved. "Heh!" she chuckled, rising up and over the clouds that barely covered her naked form, yet flowed from her lower torso and hair like sinuous drapery, "Looks Like We Got A Live One!"

The Huff Astral King was still fighting with some bitch out in the ocean and Taomin sifted over to that party in a heartbeat whilst she awaited something else to happen with the rest of the dead world. "HA! He Doesn't Even Know What A 'God Hand' REALLY Looks Like..." Taomin paused, putting a claw to her mouth, "Actually, He Does, And He Probably Remembers Fighting Khrona's God Hands. But The Nerve Of Him And Such A Thing When He Did What He Did To US!!" Tao huffed and puffed, generating a terrible storm. Violent winds spiraled about near the impact site of the clashing techniques. "So It's Time To REMIND Him Of What The 'God Hand' TRULY IS!"

After Tao said this, the dark clouds all across the Lost World thundered at the exact same time, causing the entire planet to shake. From that moment forth, the clouds would turn to flowing crystal, and down from it would float a man in a vest and some zigzag print pants, crystal hair connected to the reality of that realm and also over one of his eyes. It was him -- Taomin's next form of the Seventh Restriction -- The Tyranophant.
