" Well... I still don't understand the whole heart thing, but..." Shego spoke, a little uncertain, once she felt the hand of the other over her chest again, "The offer of yours is tempting... I mean, pff, I'm pretty sure I can do a lot more than just opening those damn pickle jars for Drakken, so..."
The thief looked up to Maleficent, a psychotic, signature smile etching over her face as she spoke once more, "Sign me up, Queeny."
The young woman reached up to rest her hands upon her own hips, and tilted her head slightly to the left, "So, what do I do first? Wack a guy? Kidnap a guy? Rob something?"

[glow=purple,2,300]"Excellent!" cried the Black Queen. Her hand swirled with black energy again and then enveloped Shego. In an instant the younger woman was draped in a completely new outfit. "This will grant you strength enhancements, as well as minor powers over the darkness..."
She smiled.
"Go to the Underworld. Traverse the caverns and seek out Hades. Either bring him here or order him to call out Jafar from the Pool. Tell him that I sent you."[/glow]

[glow=green,2,600]Shego was admiring her new look; she wore what seemed a leather bathing-suit which trailed down in that checkered, green, black signature pattern of hers, and as it reached the bottom half, it opened into a soft, green-silk that flared as it reached her ankles. She wore boots that reached her lower thighs, and gloves that went high enough to reveal that lovely tone of green at the thief's shoulders. It was a befitting suit that complimented her body's curvatures, along with enhancing her movements as the cunning, evil thing that she was.
"Oooh..." whispered the grinning woman, admiring her new look, "Me like-y..."
Her lips curled upward to form a smile toward The Dark Queen, nodding once before turning, "I'm sure those little creatures will guide me there? See you later, Queeny."
She, being curious of her new abilities, tipped forward until she was running, faster than before, than EVER. She cackled psychotically, feeling her enhanced self cutting through the WIND, it seemed.
"This'll be fun!" she called out, her eyes glowing a bright green, narrowing with every word, "And when the time comes, Princess... you are MINE!" with that obvious threat toward an uninformed red head, she vanished through the shadows to the Underworld.[/glow]

Many hours after the villainesses' departure, another portal would open, allowing Maleficent to return. She had turned to tell someone behind her to speed his way through, but he would not seem to respond... just standing there on the other side. Eventually and inevitably, the woman WOULD get annoyed with waiting, and when she does turn from the portal, she'd find him standing RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER! An odd effect of his own darkness... but effective in moving nontheless.
"Forgive my delay..." the dark wraith whispered, "I just woke up..." Jafar then turned his attention to a strange device in the center of the room, veiled in darkness to keep its exact form and function a mystery. "Hrrmmm..." he muttered, walking over to it and examining as closely as possible.
"And what is this trinket?" he asked, the darkness crackling around him as a result of mingling energies (hers and his). To say there was static between the casters was a literal understatement. He lifted his burning red eyes from the machine to Maleficent... trying to piece together her scheme...

[glow=Purple,2,300]"This, Jafar," she said, walking over to direct her ally around the machine. "is my latest project. An Eldritch Machine, above all else, with added powers of the Darkness. Kefka has already given his offering of power, and now I await yours, Hades and then mine. Once that is completed, the weapon will be ready for converging." She did not go into detail about that just yet. Instead she changed the subject.
"We will fire first on Disney Castle, as I want nothing more than to take that Cornerstone and destroy Mickey Mouse! You will, with the power granted, return to Agrabah. Hades will reign over Ancient Greece. Kefka, I assume, will go back to his home world, and I will assume absolute control of this location. Once that is all settled, Convergence shall be initiated."[/glow]

"An Eldritch..." he looked to her, not knowing exactly what the machine as for, but she went on, so he listened. She spoke of her plans and he nodded, though sometimes it was hard to tell he was. Walking around the machine, he examined it further.
"A gift of power you say..." he muttered, then froze suddenly. He slowly turned, his eyes wide and burning with fury. The darkness around them would begin to sizzle with static. "Agrabah..." he repeated.
He turned and slammed the staff with a Klick-PANG to rival Maleficent's own, accompanied by the deep rumble of a dormant monster clawing its way to the surface. "I WOULD LIKE NOTHING BETTER!!!" he roared, his voice demonic and distorted with rage. "A chance to FINALLY rend that accursed Aladdin to shreds, to leave not even his SOUL intact!!"
The area around them grew warmer, fueled by the fires of his rage. The staff lit on fire, the mouth stretching in a mad roaring expression. Jafar himself seemed to be glowing red as well, the air warbling due to the heat rising from his body. "How much power do you need??" he demanded, his voice dripping with venomous hatred...
He didn't sound like himself... he sounded like a fragment of a soul... a piece of what used to be a sane mind...
He was pure rage... he was hatred incarnate. He turned in place and pointed his staff at the machine, ready to give all of himself for a chance to put an end to Aladdin and everything he held dear. "Say the word, my dear..." he hissed, sounding a lot like his snake form...

[glow=Purple,2,300]Maleficent watched Jafar's power take near-physical form, and her eyes widened, a grin appearing on her thin face.
"I am going to need the full supply. You will replenish it fully after some hours of rest; but for your contribution, I will need the entirety of it. The machine will take our powers, and begin circulating it like...well, a blender--something from Shego's world. It will mix our powers and continue on in a regenerative cycle until it is powered down. This will increase the energy tenfold, for sure. We could even penetrate Disney Castle now. When you've rested from this contribution, Jafar, I will open passage back into Agrabah."[/glow]

"Gladly..." the dark one hissed, his essence burning so hot and bright that he appeared almost like an anti-heartless, his whole form glowing bright and hateful. Slowly, he lifted into the air, his staff raised high as it spewed bolts of fire angrily. "Let it take all I have to give... if it means the final end of that ACCURSED STREET RAT!!!!" Jafar roared.
He threw his staff forward, power POURING from it like a massive red laserbeam from hell. Fire, ice, earth, wind, water, shadow itself all rushed around the flowing energies, rumbling the entire castle deep to its core. The darkness of the room itself would shatter and flow into the gift of power, leaving the room a pure white with almost no detail left concealed in shadow. From the windows, a fine green mist would begin to seep upward... spill over from the river Styx.
This flowing river of the dead would too mingle in Jafar's magics, souls moaning in agony as they drifted around Maleficent and upward into the machine, adding their power to it. The wraith would throw his head back, laughing maniacally into the air in a strange daemonic mixture of snake and genie, mingling with the voices of fallen heroes and villains from ages before. Even mighty souls like Chernabog could be seen rising from the grave only to let out a roar of defeat and join with the machine, all answering the call of the Stygian Champion...
Reality itself began to warp. Images would appear in the stone like its very essence were under attack. Time began to displace, visions of Sora and the Organization battling through the mixture of energies... And all the while, that horrible laughter rang out...
[glow=red,2,800]HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHHAAHHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/glow]
Then, like water down the drain, it would all begin to converge... Drawn to a single point within the machine. All of reality seemed drawn to it, leaving behind pure black. And when all had become one... a dark man slowly drifted to the ground, and laid on his back with a sizzling sceptre in his clutches. He was so far gone, he could barely be seen, not even a full ghost. Slowly, the world around them would regain its detail, its contour... and the machine would pulse with newfound energy.
"Now give me the boy..." he muttered... and passed into dreamless slumber...

[glow=Purple,2,300]Such magnificent power! Maleficent thought, staring at the man she once called a mediocre magician. She backed away, and even stumbled slightly when the castle shook and the room's reality was distorted. It was almost as if she were slightly afraid, but that was not the case. In fact, it only enticed her even more to consider the Heartless Atticus' offer. If Jafar, now a Wraith born from both the darkness and the original soul, imagine Maleficent, Mistress of All Evil, Darkness Incarnate, a Heartless!
That, however, would have to wait. More pressing matters...
When Jafar's production was over, he returned, and she listened close to his last words and nodded. The queen stood there for a while, just sadistically revelling in the room, shuddering at the room's presence of monumental power. She grinned, and called in Pete, who she ordered to take Jafar to his room. When he awoke, completely replenished, Pete would open the gate to the sealed Agrabah, where Jafar would be free to exact his revenge, once and for all.
She walked back to the center of the room and put her hand on the warm, buzzing machine, and called out loud:
"Hades, come to me at once!"[/glow]

Post by Atticus the Fallen on Jun 12, 2010 20:42:24 GMT -5
As Jafar was taken out of the room by Pete... another presence would fill the void left behind. One just as powerful, but far more restrained and calm... The Fallen stepped out of the shadows behind Maleficent and stood there a moment. He had been watching the little... transaction once Shego had completed her arts and crafts. He had seen everything just after their entrance leading up until now. He even sensed that pang in the dark, like a radar blip in the crushing dark depths, when she saw what kind of power could be hers if she gave herself to the darkness.
"Impressive... isn't it, the power of darkness?" he whispered, his voice coming from all angles as it usually did. "But you would know that better than anybody else..."
Atticus slowly strode forward, standing next to Maleficent as eyes lifted up to the machine, observing the moving parts that new glew with Jafar's power. A moment passed in silence... until he broke it. "I know you sent Pete to investigate me..." he said calmly, as though it didn't matter in the long run...
He slowly turned his eyes to her, yellow glowing through infinite black. "And I know why... But seeking out my past is irrelevant, my dear... I barely remember anything, nor do I care to remember anything before my glorious return to darkness..." he turned to face her fully, his eyes focused entirely on her now... almost like a predator.
"But you, my dear, sweet queen of the night... your story is chronicled quite well... You see..." he started to walk around behind her, circling her... whispering as he spoke to give her a false sense of security as he told the tale... "While I am but a young pup by your standards... a fresh face in the darkness... my bretherin have been watching you for white a long time... MeadowSong..."
A pause... he waited for his words to sink in before continuing.
"We were there when you were brought to life in Pixie Hollow... We watched as you were declared the first Dark Fairy... and shunned by all out of fear for what you represented. We shared your struggle as one by one they turned their backs on you and left you all alone with your amazing talents... We kept you safe in the darkness when you ran from it all to join the human world. We stayed your hand when you took the life of your teacher, and absorbed his power to take on the form and name you now bear..."
Atticus stopped, leaning in to whisper in her ear. "We watched over you when someone like yourself first came to you... and we kept your heart from breaking when that acceptance you so long for was shattered..."
He slowly wrapped his arms around her waist, his wings enveloping the woman and holding her dear and close. This embrace would come coupled with that sense of acceptance, of unconditional love that only comes from being welcomed wholly...
"We've been waiting so long for you, my queen..." he whispered...
"Are you ready... to come home to your true family? To finally be accepted for who you are... MeadowSong?"
Just then, Cuddles appeared near them, his antennae flailing desperately, tugging at Atticus' leg and pointing out the door. He was agitated about something. The dark one looked to the smaller heartless... and while annoyed that he was so close... knew what it was telling him was extremely important.
Slowly, he released Maleficent from his grasp and took a few steps back, bowing politely like a good servant. "My apologies... but another of our family is in peril... she needs us now, and we cannot abandon her... like we would never abandon you... Think on my words, my queen... We will talk more very soon..." with that, he floated backward... and disappeared into shadow...

[glow=Purple,2,300]MeadowSong! Maleficent had not heard that name in ages. She turned away from him, embarrassed and even slightly angry. When his boldness led Atticus to embrace the Mistress of All Evil, she nearly collapsed from the feeling of sickness.
She could have thrown up, and that was another rare feeling for the witch. As Atticus spoke, she could sense her heart warming as he whispered to her, welcoming her and all around loving her. Acceptance, finally. Was that truly what the First Black Faerie was looking for all along?
And then the moment was over, just like that. Atticus stepped back, and she faltered slightly at this, as she half expected to use him as a support, but in the end used her staff to keep her standing. When he spoke of another in their flock who was in trouble, she suddenly began feeling the presence of Shego, damaged.
When Atticus disappeared Faeries' Wrath fell to the floor, and the sudden *CLick-pang* made Diablo jump, and he flew up high into the scaffolds. Maleficent collapsed onto her knees, her robes pooling out on all sides, creating the effect of a woman drowning in darkness, where she began to cry.
Am I willing now...to...join those that I seek to control?
She lay on the floor for a while, in deep contemplation for her future. She had choices to make, plans to follow through with, and some matters to settle.[/glow]

[glow=green,2,300]**From one of the many prison rooms**
The air around Maleficent would grow thin, and a pressure would unfold just behind her, though it surely meant her no harm. The Queen would be able to feel dark appendages wrapping themselves around her waist and shoulders, holding her in an endearing embrace, "Aw.." echoed an familiar, though now eerie voice, seeming cheerful, "Don't cry, dear Queeny... we are here for you... always here for you." whispered the voice of a strangely-happy Shego, as she nuzzled into her back, "There, there..." she cooed.
Her shape slowly began to form, her hair a shadow of her previous self's hair would be flowing as if in water behind her. Her eyes would be, instead of yellow, green orbs similar to Atticus, only wider and softer to resemble female eyes. What skin was once green, was now replaced by pitch black, and she had no clothes being just born. A child Heartless that will be known to be a dangerous one in the long run.
"Don't worry..." The eyes of the heartless would bend upward, seeming to grin, "Ms. Go is here for you..."

[glow=Purple,2,300]For a long time she just lay on the cold floor, her staff gripped from afar but not being used to stand up. And then the presence of something black and evil, something she knew with just a snap of the fingers she could bend to her will with the right amount of force.
Shego!
Maleficent sat up some when the woman grabbed her, and she was almost ready to scold her for creating a hug fest in her castle.
She slowly freed herself from this grasp and turned fast on her apprentice, her staff collected in her hands, and she looked the other up and down.
"Why, Shego...you seem to have taken to the dark quite well..." the witch turned to the Eldritch Machine and watched its gears spin. "I see you have taken the first step into this next level...that will soon make two of us..."[/glow]

[glow=green,2,300] The new form of the Thief giggled, and stood there with her hands behind her back, looking rather mischievous, " I was about to die a very gruesome, painful driven death if it wasn't for Atti-kins~" she giggled, "Wow, it was hurting so much, it was so nice of him to help me out. He's such a sweetheart." [/glow]
"I see you have taken the first step into this next level...that will soon make two of us..."
[glow=green,2,300]"Oh, well yay!" The heartless threw her hands up, cheering and laughing a bit and holding at her sides, unable to maintain her joy. She walked over to Mali's side, and her green orbs resembled circles, a curious child, "Oooh, what's that thing-y? It looks like it can hurt..." and like a switch, she retrieved that eerie, mischievous grin once more, now speaking in a flirtatious, yet serious tone, "please, tell me it hurts...?" [/glow]

[glow=Purple,2,300]Maleficent made a weak attempt at smiling, being very confused of late. All along she had thought herself above the Heartless, above everything. Though an incarnation of darkness itself, she was still not accepted. As a Heartless, she would be the most powerful being alive, she believed. She looked back to Ms. Go, and nodded.
"It will hurt, I can promise you this."[/glow]
