Pandemonium

[Lord Vader]

Angelenis just smirked as she watched Biodorah fly in, not bothering to answer. Once Biodorah had landed, the Dark Queen smiled and spread both of her arms and her tentacles, welcoming those that had congregated atop the tower and throughout the fortress. She then spoke, her voice calm.

"Welcome all. May I be the first to say thank you for defending my home - or rather our home - from the uncalled for attack by the humans earlier. I imagine that some of you are wondering why you are here."

Angelenis smiled and looked to them all before looking to Malumusma. Her twisted daughter sat beside one of the great spires that rose from the top of the fortress, looking to her mothering with undying devotion in her eyes. The child's lust for death and destruction had been morphed into crazed fanaticism solely by the Dark Queen's words.

"I can tell you why you are here." Angelenis began again. "You are here because I summoned you. I called you here. You came from all corners of the globe to answer my call, abandoning battles to start a new one. Now you are here, with me, in your new home. I bid you welcome to my beloved home, Pandemonium. I hope you shall make it as comfortable a home as the ones you left behind when you came here."

Angelenis paused again, reading the reaction of those before her, probing their thoughts just a bit. She then smiled again, her golden her flapping in the powerful winds that raked across the tower. To the monsters, it was just a subtle breeze.

"I have summoned you here to give birth to a new empire. A new power is rising. Together, we shall unite both human and kaiju into one force, bringing order to the world which has been so ravaged by factionalism. Only together, when we unite, will this senseless destruction end. Already, we have enemies, those that wish to prey and thrive upon the factionalism of the world. We must end these threats to our empire and secure a future for our world. For, if we fail, surely our world will tear itself apart."

Angelenis smiled and looked to them. She raised her voice a bit, bringing on a stronger tone now.

"I am not offering you comforts. I am offering you battles, death, gore, and destruction. I am offering you your own suffering, the suffering of allies, and the suffering of enemies. I am offering you both praise and punishment. I am offering you both acceptance and discrimination. If you feel you are too weak to handle these quest ahead of us then leave now, for I have no room nor patience for the weak. If you feel you are strong enough to survive then stay and make yourself at home.'

"A new day is rising, and with it a new power! We will show the world we are more than barbaric beasts and we will unite them! Only then will there be peace! Peace and order, in our time and for eternity!"

Angelenis smiled proudly and looked to them. She then drew her sword, pointing it to the heavens.

"We shall reign! No man, machine, kaiju, or even angel will stand in our way! For the evil that opposes us and wishes to destroy the world, we will crush it! To the conquest!"

Angelenis smirked and looked to them all. Who knew what she had said was truth and what was false? The answer was only herself. Even her own subordinates were ones to be manipulated. Malumusma was evidence of her scheming nature and just how manipulative she truly was...

[soulrender]

At this, Biodorah raised an eyebrow.

[glow=maroon,2,300]"Order? Peace!? Darlin', I am not among those who serve peace. I prefer chaos, mayhem, death, and destruction, myself. I love it. Sure, I admit, the suffering you're offering all of us makes me excited, but I don't think I'd be carrying this out knowing that order is what you strive for, when I was born in the fires of chaos."[/glow]

Jet Jaguar let out a sigh at Biodorahs words as he stood tall and proud to be a part of this strange new Axis of Power. 'I will make them pay...' thought the bio-cyborg. 'Every single one of them.'

[GojiLord]

Gatanozoa meanwhile stood Guard down below. As Gatanozoa is known now as Angelenis' All mighty Guard that will destory any who oppose her. The likelyness of surviving a battle against Gatanozoa is slim to none.

[Lord Vader]

Angelenis turned to Biodorah, her eyes twinkling with a bit of delight. She was not phased by the hydra's words. She took a step forward, spreading her arms.

"Chaos? Is chaos what you want? Then chaos is what you will get. This transition from this world into our world will be not be peacefully. Chaos will run wild, worse than any epidemic seen by this world. You will have your chaos..." Angelenis smirked to Biodorah, her eyes staring straight into her.

[soulrender]

[glow=maroon,2,300]"Chaos, indeed. I stand for a world of Chaos. Chaos...eternally. It was Chaos that created this world, and I think it would be lovely to see Chaos be the source of it's destruction. After all, is it not true that all of us take pleasure in the destruction of cities, worlds, people? What will happen when we take over this world? Will they be ours? If so, then what do you offer us for Chaos then? What happens when there is nothing left to destroy on this world? Do we move to another? Some of us can't travel through the cold of space like we used to!"[/glow]

Biodorah stood up, and walked over to the center of the room.

[glow=maroon,2,300]"Open your eyes! We are not men! We are not civilized creatures! When we see something we want, we take it! Regardless who it belongs to! And when they come out to reclaim their possession, we don't deal! We don't bargain! What do we do? We FIGHT! Tear eachother apart limb from limb! And when the victor walks away, the same may be done to them! You speak of it as a great Chaos, an enormous war, that will bring peace!? We are not peaceful!"[/glow]

Biodorah turned his attention back to Angelenis.

[glow=maroon,2,300]"And I'm not about to change that...darlin'!"[/glow]

[GojiLord]

Gatanozoa looked at Biodorah and sighed. " What a suck up." Meanwhile Gatanozoa continued to stay on guard.

Destroyah let out a low grumble after awakening from his slumber and flew to the top of the castle. Well, well, look at what we got here Biodorah. I need to spar with somebody think your up for the challenge?

[aragu]

Kaldora chuckled and let out a low growl. "Well, all that sounds well and good, but I am going to need something in return for my aid in this venture, Angelenis." His eyes bored deeply into her own. "My master was imprisoned by the one known as the Guardian, I wish to have him freed. If you can accomplish that, thenm you will have my skills at your service."

His wings flapped softly to accentuate this.

[Lord Vader]

"When all this is over and we have achieved victory, I will free your master. You have my word." Angelenis gave a bow of her head, smiling lightly.

All the while during Biodorah's speach, Malumusma eyed the hydra with a wary, flaming eye. She, in the short time she knew her, had grown immensely attached and loyal to Angelenis. The Dark Queen served to be the ideal mother to the orphaned alicorn, providing everything her "true" mother could not. She rose up, glaring to Biodorah and standing between him and Angelenis.

"You do not dare to speak to my mother that way." the Dark Child began with a flaming glare. "If you should ever speak to her like that again, I will have your heads."

"Malumusma, my daughter, please." Angelenis cooed, stepping from behind the alicorn. She turned to Biodorah, her eyes cold and horrible to look at. In an instant they would bring back everything Biodorah had suffered during his death. "In return for your aid, you shall garner a land of your own to dominate. Do with it as you will. Raise it up or plunge it into chaos, I care not. Chaos and Order can exist in harmony, you know..."

Angelenis inwardly smirked to herself. Biodorah would be an excellent ally, though he could prove to be bothersome in the future. Hopefully, he would curb himself.

[aragu]

Kaldora grinned toothily at her. "Well then, I will put myself at your service then." He bowed his head to her to accentuate the agreement they had made. "Any ideas on what our next will be, my lady?"

[Lord Vader]

"For now, we shall wait." Angelenis cooed, turning back towards Kaldora. "Build up our forces and see what our enemies plan to do. They have already drawn first blood, but I want to see if they are foolish enough to do so again."

Angelenis smirked a bit and turned away from Kaldora for a moment, looking out to sea. The sky above the tower had turned black now with clouds and the ocean around the island had grown more violent than ever before. Hostile waves crashed against the massive wall surrounding the island, protecting it. The sea was so vicious that even some monsters would be helpless in it. It wasn't raining yet, yet the sky looked as if it open the floodgates any moment. Lightning flickered beneath the veil of black clouds, some bolts leaping out and striking the sea.

The Dark Queen then turned back towards Kaldora and the others. "Come. Let us go in. For now I wish for you to rest and build up your energy. Train yourselves well, for I wish for you all to be in optimum condition when the time for battle comes."

With that, a doorway opened in the floor of the tower with a set of stair leading in. Angelenis motioned for them to enter, Malumusma leading them in. The Dark Queen remained outside, scanning the dark skies...

[Lord Vader]

Angelenis stood atop the tower for a few minutes more, her long golden her whipping about through the violent winds of the dark skies around her. Her dress rippled with each heavy gust, the powerful sea breeze brushing against her face. For a moment she closed her eyes before opening them and heading toward the stairway.

The Dark Queen slowly moved down the stone steps, pausing when she was almost inside and looking back to the sky over her shoulder before finally descending within. The stairs seemingly morped away and filled in the well where they one been, cutting Angelenis off from the whipping winds of above. She was inside Pandemonium, in the top of the central tower. This was, in a way, here "penthouse."

All four walls around Angelenis looked to be made of a strange, darkly colored stain glass, though it was thousands of times more durable. Taking her sword from her hip, she laid it down on the ground before her before she knelt down in front of one of the windows, just peering out of it. Her hands smoothed out the wrinkled folds of her dress, drapping the organic, armored garment around the floor surrounding her. Her black feathered wings folded themselves, falling against her back as her tentacles retracted and splayed out against the floor behind her.

The Dark Queen gazed out of the window, her hands resting on her lap as she knelt. Her pale face had an eerily serene look on it, her eyes holding a slightly quiet yet dignified air. She was alone for now, that much she was sure. The others had undoubtedly gone to the lower levels of the tower or had moved to one of the other parts of the sprawling fortress.

Quietly, her lips parts and her vampirical fangs lightly pricked at her lower lip. Her sinister voice quietly broke the solemn silence as it began to sing, the words echoing through the upper chamber of the tower.

"Goodnight, my angel
Now we're far away
And yet so many things I need to say
Life's gone on and left us both cold and grey
Remember the days of gold and love
When we'd go sailing on our azure bay
And like our boat out by the seashore
We're rocking off to sleep
Never to know we'll wake up miles away

And now I find that you are nowhere near
Down a path from which you could never stray
And now all is dark and cold
What makes me so bold
To do this once again?
My heart still hopes that you will wait for me
Wait for the hour of my shining day
And yet the water is so dark and deep
Inside my ancient heart

Somethings shall never die
Like lullabyes and a scathing lie
They linger on
That's how
You and I
Should have been"

Her voice held the final note for a long while before finally releasing it, its charmingly eery tone echoing through the chamber. Her voice was remarkably beautiful, soft and gentle yet strong and resolute at the same time. It echoed softly in the chamber as she gazed out the window, her eyes dropping to the floor quietly...

[soulrender]

Jet Jaguar looked up, curious by something he thought he heard. His "sensors" picked up the presence of an echo coming from somewhere higher up in the tower.

[glow=blue,2,300]"I wonder..."[/glow]

He walked over to the stair case, and slowly and carefully went up to where he thought he was hearing someone speaking, or singing, something. The closer he got, the more sure he was that it was singing. After all, speech couldn't make the echo that singing could. As he got closer, he quickly slowed down as he could now actually hear the words. Faintly, but he could hear them. He pondered what they could mean, why such words of sadness. He was certain now that it was Angelenis, which only confused him. 'Why is she singing such a song?' thought the bio-cyborg.

[glow=blue,2,300]"Hmmm...-!"[/glow]

Jet Jaguar silently cursed himself at making any noise, and sat still, hoping she didn't notice him.

[Lord Vader]

"Is there something you wish to discuss, Jet Jaguar?" Angelenis cooed, her back to him. She had detected his presence long before he had made any noise.

The Dark Queen didn't bother to make any move, other than a lone tentacle rising off of the floor and making a "come here" gesture before settling back on the ground. She calmly waited, still intently gazing through the window out to sea.

[soulrender]

'Curses!' he thought to himself, as he carefully walked in, a little embarressed that he was caught listening to her.

[glow=blue,2,300]"I...I had heard you singing from below. Well, not heard, really, but..."[/glow]

JJ tried to search for the right words, or a good excuse at least. He let out a sigh, and his eyes fell somewhat dim.

[glow=blue,2,300]"I was just curious. That's all...you've got a beautiful singing voice, and you seemed...well......if you want me to leave, I'll go...I'm sorry for intruding on you."[/glow]

[Lord Vader]

Angelenis turned to him, smiling rather sweetly. She gave a light chuckle before, looking straight to the bio-cyborg, her eyes so strong and piercing.

"Thank you, Jet Jaguar. If you wish to stay, you may. However, do not stay idly. Stay solely if you have good reason too..." Angelenis cooed, a strange dark tone still to her voice though.

The Dark Queen then turned back to the stained glass window, intently gazing out it even as she kept an ear open for Jet Jaguar's reply.
