Below the dark and thin clouds above were giant buildings, breaking above the city skyline. Even lower was a relatively large dock, drenched in water due to the pattering of the rain. Water slid around the top of the wood, and the smell of wet wood, fish, and smoke swam in the air. Beyond the docks, a storm was brewing, a torrent of lightning and water. Waves crashed together in all directions, sending water droplets flying everywhere. Thunder could be heard in the distance, beyond the dark unknown waters that could be seen swirling around the docks. The crashing of waves, the humming of thunder, the rain buffeting.... Footsteps could be heard. Five dark figures walked out of the shadows of a nearby alley. Each figure walked with a consistent pace. With their somewhat mysterious entrance came the cheers of many, rising into the air like fireworks. Up above on the surrounding buildings, people could be seen, waving their hands, hollering out. A poster could be seen plastered on the side of the building, the words “Saitonia’s Webs” painted neatly across it. A cloaked figure similar to one of the figures walking towards the dock was pictured on the poster. A figure holding a bladed staff began to wave at the audience above, briefly eyeing each and every member of the audience before setting his gaze on the waters of turmoil. A huntress with a furry coat on her back began to crouch near the docks, sniffing the air curiously. Behind her, a figure covered in what seemed to be a shifting mass of nanobots, moving organically and in an organized fashion. At last, the famous MagicSpaceKitty came into view. A figure, walking out of a purple portal, with balls of magic in both hands. The portal behind her collapsed slowly, and all five figures were now present on the dock, standing still, waiting. Saitonia ignored the rain, wiping his dagger with a gloved hand. The cheers began to die down, just as the night began to drag out. Silence... except for the pattering of rain, the booming of thunder, the sound of nearby storms, the growls of untold beasts... and the slow ticking of the clocktower above them. A voice, echoing from somewhere above, broke the natural silence... “Welcome fighters. Here you shall see beasts of untold myths, beasts only thought to be fantasies, beasts rising from the deepest of the depths. Round 1, will now commence...” A rumble could be heard beneath the waters. A deep moan, echoing across the docks. The unsheathing of blades could be heard in the dark alleys behind the dock. Hooded figures flooded out into the open, each bearing a gleaming silver knife in both hands. Their hands were a pale yellow, and quite wrinkled, and bearing long nails. Aside from the hands, nothing could be seen from beneath the cloaks. Robo Owl produced a sword from his armor, holding it outward. Artemis began to notch an arrow on her bow, eyeing each of these strange figures with yellow darting eyes. MagicSpaceKitty rotated a ball of void magic between both of her hands. Pistol Pete spins his staff on his right hand, rotating it continuously, trying to intimidate these mysterious figures. Saitonia shakes his head and lets out a deep sigh, almost as if in sympathy of these victims. One of the hooded figures, ridden with the smell of water, began to drag itself in front of the fighters, and it produced a creaky voice... “You have disturbed the great lord. You will pay for disssssturbing his sleeep....” Without warning, the hunched figure charges at Saitonia, grasping both knives tightly in each hand. Saitonia swiftly steps to one side, letting the cultist run past him. The cultist turns around in confusion, and swings at Saitonia. Saitonia parries with his dagger and swiftly brings his knee up, striking the cultist’s head. The cultist is sent falling to the ground, unconscious. With the fall of one, the cultists begin to swarm the team. Robo Owl slices through one of them, sending its decapitated head to the ground, motionless. Artemis stabs one of her daggers into a cultist’s chest, and sends him flying into another cultist. Pistol Pete is struck by a silver dagger on his shoulder, pooling blood on his shoulder. He swiftly sends a cultist down with a blow of his staff. MagicSpaceKitty flings balls of void magic at another cultist, about to attack Saitonia. The figure begins to burn into a pile of purple ashes, screaming while its remains flutter into the air. The fight goes on, with the team suffering little injuries. Saitonia slices through multiple cultists with little difficulty, and Pistol Pete stands directly behind him, delivering a fatal blow to many of the cultists that had passed by him. Artemis fires a volley of arrows into a crowd of cultists surround Robo Owl, knocking out some. Robo Owl finishes the rest off with a well placed Nano Swarm. MagicSpaceKitty swiftly sends three cultists flying into the sea, her orbs of magic slowly melting them away as they hit the water. Only a few more cultists remained, and they were swiftly disposed of. Saitonia tends to a small scratch on his chest, and Pistol Pete brushes off blood from his shoulder. Saitonia shakes his head as he approaches a fallen Cultist, kneeling down next to it. “You poor thing. Let me put you out of your misery” says Saitonia in a low whisper. The cultist suddenly tries backing away, but a flash appears from Saitonia’s left hand. A staff is produced, and he fires it at the Cultist. The cultist finds itself on fire, screaming for help and writhing on the ground. Saitonia walks back to the group, leaving the Cultist burning to ashes. “You are formidable fighters. This next round will be somewhat harder. Best of luck.” The voice booms overhead once again. The sound of chains is heard from the alleyway. Two huge figures emerge, walking slowly, side by side, their faces covered with a bloody cloth of some sort. Shackles were present on both hands and feet, and their backs were covered with grey rags. Their arms could be seen, covered with a black dust of some sort. Their fingernails were huge, and hands huger. They walked on bare feet, also covered with the peculiar black dust. They positioned themselves in front of the group, towering over them all. They seemed to be at least 9 feet tall, no shorter. Saitonia reached for his dagger and Robo Owl’s sword morphed into a trident as the beasts began to speak. “Master hungry for sacrifice. Moghul provide sacrifice” The other beast began to speak in a similar raspy and heavy voice. “Moggoth hungry for flesh....” Artemis lets out a few words as she lets an arrow flying towards Moggoth’s face. “You’ve come to the wrong place...” [spoiler]continues below[/spoiler]
