Leech and Anny walked around the Diablo Desert water bottling clutching in each of their hands. Exploring the Earth and blasting the few travelers here and there was pretty fun but it slowly lost his luster. Maybe it was because every time Anny sensed a power the two of them had to die so they didn't get attacked. They had been traveling for around two days now and arrived at the place they were looking for. Leech had heard of a rumor of a giant crack in the earth and wanted to see if it was the real deal. He had his doubts the Earthlings really know what a big crack in a planet was he had seen his fair share of giant cracks in the Earth.
"We are here!" Anny called as she looked around. She could sense an odd feeling in the air. It was not Ki energy she could barely keep her head on it. What had happened here? Leech ran over "Yah!" He'd leaped into the air not seeing where the ground split. He'd fell in but just began to float. "See this is not a big crack I think were." Leech barely avoided being seared by black flames that jetted out. "Woah!" Leech tried to fly up but the the dark magics slowed him down. "Your an idiot get out of there!" Anny called before another flames consumed Leech. Anny couldn't sense her brother anymore. He was gone. "Shit!" Anny looked around. She needed some help no way could she climb down this canyon all by herself but she needed to find her brother and bring him back dead or alive
Leech and Anny Powerlevel:10,000. Uh oh Leech is gone where did he go?

In the midst of this, Mocci would be flying over the desert. She didn’t like to stop and take in the scent of the cactus flowers so the desert was more than not a place she tried to get across as quickly as possible. Her head turned as she saw the fissure out of the corner of her eye. She usually steered clear of the thing, it was like a geyser of some sorts that would only shoot up this weird black energy. Whatever it was, she didn’t want to get caught in it when it blew. That’s when she’d notice the two individuals just beside it, and as she watched for a bit longer, that two would turn into one.
Mocci’s eyes widened as she saw one of the pair seemingly be swallowed up by the geyser of dark magic. What in the world were they doing?! She had no idea what this thing was and even she knew it was dangerous! From the sky, the girl would suddenly turn directly towards the black fissure, jetting towards the crack in the earth. As the earthling would near Anny, she’d slow her approach to a near screeching halt as she remained hovering just above the ground. “What are you doing?!” she exclaimed. She let herself descend on to the ground before she’d continue on. “G-Get away from this thing! You’re gonna get yourself killed or something!”
She had no idea just what even happened to anyone that got swallowed up by the fissure, but she could take a guess that it wasn’t an enjoyable experience. Whatever it was, that guy that fell in was getting to know said experience thoroughly.

Anny looked back as someone was yelling out her name. Who could possibly want to talk to her? Anny stepped a few paces back turning to face the human girl. "Who are you?" Anny growled anger in her voice. She didn't care really for anyone getting her way while her brother had just fallen to what she assumed was his death. When she sensed that this girl was nearly as strong as herself she calmed herself. No need to get into a fight. She had to worry about Leech she could not get messed up when he was in need of her.
"My brother was a moron and wanted to come here. Now he just fell into the ground like an idiot." Anny growled taking a few steps forward to look over the canyon. "Now I got to go get him first to feel if he's even alive. If he's just a corpse I got some problems." They were one and the same if one of them died she was unsure what would happen to the other. She assumed that they would both die that was why she was usually quite cautious in his approach with strong people. It would not be good to just get killed because you wanted to prove your ego. Better to live to plunder to die for the plunder. Anny could sense he was still alive and turned. "You gonna stop me?" He'd waited to see what this Human girl would do.

Mocci would only give a seemingly exasperated expression in return as the only thing Anny replied with was a hostile question and to threaten to jump into the fissure herself. “You’ve gotta be kidding!” the girl exclaimed. That had to be suicide! There was no way the other one lived through practically jumping into that blast, why even bother. “I don’t know what you’re expecting to find besides a charred - well- you know!”. Her eyes darted over towards the fissure, trying to sense for anything down inside. At that moment, her eyes would widen with surprise as she too could feel at least one source of energy.
“Now way…” Mocci quietly muttered, quickly turning her head to look back towards the other. Her face twisted as she seemed to be deciding on what to even do. On one hand, she really didn’t want to jump inside a fissure that spat some sort of dark energy every time she passed it. But on the other, she didn’t want this stranger doing it alone. She didn’t know where this sense of empathy or whatever for strangers of all people was coming from, but she really needed to stamp it out quick. “Just - At least let me come with you,” The girl said. “We can look together. I don’t know how, but your daredevil of a brother is alive in there.”

"Nah he'd alive we are like linked its hard to explain." Anny was not wanting to explain that she and Leech were one person split into two. A lot of questions would most likely be asked that she didn't want to explain to what she was a little girl. She also seemed to confirm as well that her brother was alive. "So you can sense ki?" Anny looked at Mocci confused. She didn't expect that from some little girl. She then offered to come with her and she nodded. It would be good to have two of them. "Alright, let's go." She'd ran to the edge and began to climb down slowly trying to spot her brother. She roared out as she climbed down. "You better be alive Leech was coming to help you if your dead I swear I'll beat you to death." Maybe that didn't make any sense but Anny was too angry and worried to care about that. She needed to get her brother back before he was really killed.
Leech was sitting at the bottom of the pit looking up. He rubbed his head as he heard the roaring of Anny. He assumed he was dead but guess he was not. Leech got up but he saw something wrapping around his leg. Leech looked down as he was lifted up by some tendril of shadowy energy. "You're kidding me!" More of them shot out wrapping around and Leech was unable to get out. He'd yelled out "Anny!" He was hoping she'd be here soon he didn't wanna end up as food to whatever creatures decided to grab him. With himself, all woozy and being wrapped up like he was there was nothing else he could do but wait for help.

All Mocci could offer in reply to the stranger’s brief explanation was a dumbfounded look. Well, she certainly wasn’t going to get the chance to ask about that if she couldn’t dig their brother out from this crevice. The human girl would follow Anny to the edge of the fissure and climb down inside as well. She hadn’t done a whole lot of rock climbing before, but the threat of falling into a bottomless, dark chasm was certainly an excellent motivator to not fall. “Just try and stay alive down there! We’re gonna get you out before this thing spits another blast!”.
For a moment, Mocci worried that the Ki she was sensing wasn’t even this Leech fellow. She played with the idea of it being some strange monster sitting at the bottom of the gorge until she’d hear what she could only assume to be his shouts. Well, that answered that the girl thought. She began to pick up her pace as she’d continue to descend down the chasm. But she couldn’t go fast enough, or at least not fast enough to her liking. “Forget it!” she exclaimed. Suddenly, the girl would let go of the side of the wall, free-falling towards the bottom with the intent of trying to stop herself before she hit the ground (hopefully).

Anny went down as fast as she could but it didn't seem to be that fast enough. She looked up at Mocci who fell down. Anny would do the same leaping down and using her ability to fly to stop herself just before hitting the ground. She looked up to see the shadowy mass grabbing at Leech. "You're kidding me!" Leech roared as he was being pulled around like a rag doll. What were they supposed to do? "Anny help me get out of here then we can fuse and beat this thing up." She looked at Mocci who was falling. She decides to walk to where she'd fall just in case. "You got any way to like distract these monster thing me and Brother can power up after if you can free him!" She yelled deciding it was not the best time to explain the core mechanics of fusing two beings into another. She just had to hope she could help them in some way. The shadow began to inch closer to Anny as well as forming a tendral which shot out aiming to hit her from behind while she focused on Mocci.

Mocci would slow her descent using her flight powers as she neared the ground, landing just beside Anny. Her eyes widened with surprise, seeing the shadowy tendril tossing Leech around like some toy. Well, she wasn’t wrong about some weird monster being down her either it seemed. “I think I’ve got something!” The girl shouted. As she would, she’d extend both of her hands out, projecting a small, white bead of energy that would quickly expand and shoot out like a beam from both of her hands, aimed at the ground where the tendril wrapped around Leech seemed to originate.
As she shot her attack, the beam would give off a bit of light to the otherwise dark abyss, letting her see just out of her peripheral the tendril that was forming just behind Anny and beginning to shoot towards her. After her attack was done, the girl would move to shove Anny out of the way before it’d either lash at her, bind her, or whatever, and instead take the hit for her. “Watch out!”

MAC PL: 10,206
Mac wandered through the darkness. The flash light on his combat harness keeping the darkness at bay. Tendrils slowly began creeping into the light. He fired a few shots from his pistol and scared them away. This wasn't good. His ammo wouldn't last forever. Sometimes his curiosity got him in trouble and this was definitely one of those times. When he saw "Great Fissure" on his map he instantly became intrigued and set out to find it. When he arrived and looked down into it, the ledge gave way and here he was.
Taking the clip out of his pistol, he replaced it with a fresh one, putting the empty one inside his jacket. He continued to walk and occasionally fighting off the tentacles that seemed to have malicious intent. Then in the quite he heard something. He stopped moving and listened closer. Voices. Mac started to run toward the voices. Maybe they knew a way out? Even if they didn't they could hopefully work together to find one. He had to fire a few shots on the way to keep the darkness away.
The closer he got the more he heard. Three people at least, and one seemed to be in danger. Good. If he could make himself a hero, they would be more likely to work together. Mac rushed into the situation to see the three under attack by a swarm of tendrils.
Mac used his pistol to shoot off the tip of the tendril that attempted to attack the human. Seeing how dire the situation seemed. he decided it was time for stronger measures. Mac rushed to put his pistol away and grabbed his SMG that was hanging from his side by a strap. "Everybody get down!" He shouted. He turned the gun to full auto and fired in a wave motion attempting to clear the tendrils away from the group of strangers. He did a couple waves before he ran out of ammo.
He ran to the group. "Alright. Whats going on?" He asked as he replaced MP5's clip with a fresh one.

As Mac had been fighting his way through the darkness, he might have noticed something curious. Perhaps he didn't, he was fighting for his life, after all. And it was rather dark at the bottom, even with the faint light that the thing was giving off. It was a suit of old plate armor... positively ancient in design, nothing like it had been made for millennia. And yet, there wasn't a hint of rust on any of the steel. There were plenty of runes and symbols and words in dead languages engraved on the surface of the plates, however. From the top of the things bucket-shaped helmet, all the way down to the tips of the toes. If one stared closely enough, they might have seen the symbols all shifting about and flowing towards one central point. Said point was hidden from view, due to the armor being hunched over as it sat against the wall, with legs splayed outwards. The whole thing was only visible because of a pair of lights. One extended out from the helmet in the shape of a plume... though, rather than a feather, there was a small jet of strange fire. It was twinned by the fire of a bronze, decorated torch, which was clutched in a skeletal hand that extended out from an opening in the gauntlet on the right hand. The other hand, also only bones, held to the pommel of a sheathed greatsword. It looked as if the warrior that the armor had belonged to simply... died while pausing for a rest.
No amount of tugging would have been able to separate the torch or the sword from the dead knight's grasp. Somehow, without muscle or sinew or flesh... the old knight still held firm. And he/she/it... stayed perfectly still.
Until the four fighters got together, and began to do battle with the tendrils, that is. Then the armor started to stir. First... the bony fingers twitched. Then the head rose up, revealing a twin pair of flames staring out from within the helm. Like burning eyes... which flickered as the head turned to stare off in the direction of the alien and Earthlings.
Scrrrp...
"What be this?"
The armor rose to its feet in a slow, fluid motion... the sound of metal scraping on metal echoed out through the fissure.
Scrrrrrrrrrrrrp...
"Four souls, brave and clear.
Mayhaps I shall teach them..."
Despite having made a gigantic racket from just moving its body a moment ago, the knight made no noise when he pulled his sword free of its sheathe. It was a rather large blade... a greatsword, meant for two hands to wield. Yet the knight held it just fine with only one. He began to advance on the others... without any major hindrance. Oddly enough, the shadow tendrils left the knight alone. In fact, they kept clear of his path, always retreating away from him if they got in the way of his advance.
"The meaning of FEAR!"
With that, the knight laughed and pushed against the ground with his foot. In the blink of an eye, that light push had sent him right in front of Anny, between her and Mocci and Leech. His blade was raised high overhead... and somehow the cold steel had caught fire, burning just like the knight's torch and plume and eyes. He swung it down towards the alien woman with another quick movement. His aim was to bury it right around where her neck met her shoulder, or at least force her to choose between his sword, and the tendril reaching for her back.
This fissure is now haunted by the Knightmare!
