Boundary looked out at the armada and felt the hopelessness of the situation sink in. The technology of this universe's future was intensely powerful, he could sense the capabilities of it, he knew what it could do. It was going to obliterate everything. He looked back at Dante as he emerged from the Dark Plane, asking what their plan was, and that he might be able to buy time.<br/><br/>"Buy all the time you possibly can, and as for the plan, there isn't one." Boundary said, "Out of all my travels watching the future destroy the past isn't really something I have been subjected to."<br/><br/>He tensed as he drew his blades from his robe and his aura slowly began to rise in power. It was becoming immense, he hadn't risen his power to these levels in a long time, not since his last meeting with his "Father", and even then that was not enough. He was going to use something he was hoping would only be used on him, but he guessed that using it now was one of the few options they had left.<br/><br/>He looked back at Dante and spoke once more as his aura became visible as a purple swirl of energy around his body, "Get to the Dark Wizard as fast as you possibly can, make sure Redmond and Zach survive this." he turned towards the approaching armada and spoke with his back turned to Dante, "I will try and hold them off as long as I possibly can, I like to think whatever you had in mind to buy us time will help me."<br/><br/>Boundary's aura shifted from purple to a deep shade of black. It was an aggressive aura now, and more emotion than ever before could be heard in Boundary's voice. His eyes shifted from brown, to a glowing amber, then to black.<br/><br/>Another Doorway appeared next to the one that Dante had exited through, this one had a clear view of a section of the forest on the other side of it.<br/><br/>"When I had followed you at the beginning of this whole mess, I had gotten a whiff of the dark wizard, then you people found me and I lost track of him. This is the last place I sensed him, take everybody there, and hope for the best, Ebon will assist you once he gets Lysonna."<br/><br/>Boundary slammed his swords into the ground and slammed the palms of his hands together, the force of which caused his raging aura to suddenly come to a calm and dissipate, though this was a ruse. Boundary merely uttered two words and his aura once again exploded.<br/><br/>"Umbra.....Transition."<br/><br/>The darkness around his body pulsed with life as it engulfed his body, wrapping itself around every fiber of his being. His power increased immensely as this happened. Boundary accepted the dark power that engulfed him, not letting it bend him to its whim as it fueled him. He felt a state of inner peace as this went about, he felt a sort of spiritual balance in the chaos his body was going through, it helped him keep a sense of self, and not lose himself to the darkness. When the transformation was over he looked completely different.<br/><br/>He had grown about a foot taller for one, his once lean body now more defined muscularly. His robe had relinquished its role as an article of clothing and now shifted with the darkness and became a part of the dark aura surrounding him. His body was completely black, save for the whites of his eyes, which had now turned bright amber in color. He drew his swords out of the ground and the darkness of his body immediately enveloped them, wrapping around the blades and embracing them, the runes on the swords pulsed brightly in response.<br/><br/>He looked back at Dante and spoke, his voice now had a raspy quality to it and the darkness seemed to cause a sort of filtering effect with his voice, just how one's voice would sound different if spoken through water so did Boundary's in this dark form. One could feel the darkness of him from his very voice.<br/><br/>"Dante, do not follow me, I know you want to fight this fight, but the soldiers and knights need your magic in case the dark wizard does not cooperate, you can do all you can with your fellow angels, but you yourself, must help the soldiers. Please do this." He turned away and bolted, his form cutting through the sky at unbelievable speeds as he flew towards the entire armada....<br/><br/>Alone.
