Times have changed. (Scoria, Power Shot)

OOC: I still haven't gotten PS's reply, but I promised I'd have this battle up soon. Here's the quest style battle I promised you guys.

You can just PM me if you aren't joining. I'll try and find somebody to replace you if you don't join.

BIC: The Tainted Element. This was what happened when mortals messed with the seemingly unchangeable properties of the elements.

Ice never becomes fire, earth never changes into wind. Light and shadow do not mix. None of these facts mattered to them, not a single one.

The death dealers had created a monstrocity with their experiments. They all died eventually, with their leader Grasthos being slain by his own twisted creation.

The experiments created them. The Horrors, the echo's, and them. The gods had created them as a counter-weapon to the creations of the death dealers.

What the death dealers had created were a species that could grow and evolve from the absorbtion of Tainted Element. What the gods had created was the exact opposite, created from their own essence.

These were beings of pure element. Creatures that stemmed from the thing that all elements were created from. Fire, water, earth, wind, shadow, and light.

Even with the death of Grasthos, the Tainted Element's spawn still roamed the world. The Three Horrors, which were prototype echos, the Tainted Spawn, vile creatures that were made by subjecting Tainted Element straight into human DNA, and Echo Side itself.

Now to cleanse the world of Tainted Element. A little Tainted Element flowed through every living creature, something the gods needed to correct.

The pure element creatures have been sent. Their powers greater than that of the great Grasthos himself.

"What's going on?" Asked a very irritated Gorin. His domerri spy was flying about the late Grasthos' lab as if he had seen a ghost. This would be fairly comical, considering that domerri were technically ghosts themselves.

"Ohhh, they're coming!" Hollered Jeorrod. The domerri spy had never been known for his courage in the first place, but this was getting ridiculous.

The Oblivion Master sighed. This was obviously going to be one of those days.

"Who exactly are they?" He asked. The domerri uttered a few choking gasps. He'd need to calm down and tell Gorin what he was babbling about.

"The gods have sent them to cleanse the world of Tainted Element." Replied the ghostly being. He knew about Tainted Element, Echo Side, the Three Horrors, everything.

Gorin sat quiet for a moment. He was filled with joy, dread, and a tiny bit of confusion. After a quick mind scan of Jeorrod his suspicions were confirmed.

These people who were coming were made of Pure Element, the exact opposite of Tainted Element. The last time he had come into contact with Pure Element had been both damaging and empowering.

The destiny god from the Tower of Time had been bursting with Pure Element. That was the reason the neo-echo couldn't get near him. He had been able to absorb some of the Pure Element and turn it into Tainted Element though...

"I might need a little help on this one." He muttered. The Oblivion Master wordlessly grabbed two pieces of paper, as well as a piece of lead.

After writing out two letters, he handed them to Jeorrod. The domerri knew what to do with them. Each letter was different, as they were assigned to two completely different people.

Both of them had something to do with this scheme of the gods however, whether they liked it or not...
