Ikaria cast a spell to heal everyone that had survived long enough to reach the castle and then proceeded through into the courtyard where Dark Val stood waiting for them.<br/>"So, you've finally arrived?"  He said, mockingly.  "I may not be able to take Valarinth for myself anymore, but I'm not going to let any of you beyond this point.  My creation will destroy each and every last one of you and only we shall survive to dominate every living universe throughout existence.  Now, just be good and DIE!"  He roared as he lunged towards Ikaria and Sinala's fused form, battering it to one side and knocking Ikaria's conscious mind out.  "And now the healer has gone, it's time for you to meet the same fate."  He said, pacing towards Sinol with a sinister smile.<br/><br/>Up at the top of the tower the virus watched the battles, gaining power from every attack against her creations and using that power to continually reform them.<br/>"I don't know why they still try, it's pointless to fight what is inevitable."<br/><br/>((Sinala will now have full control over the fused form, it's up to you whether it changes form in the process or whether the spirits of Ikaria and Sinala merely change places.  If you want Black Fire to be reformed like the other creations, Shadow Walker, then you can have it happen...unless you wish for him to be vanquished entirely.  Looks like it's only three or four of us posting now, I guess that makes it more climactic like we've lost a lot of people leading up until this point.  ^_^))
