Getting out the way, Azul felt the pain from the blood magic. It was a bit of a problem unless it was primary magic for the caster. He used the Growlanswer ring getting an axe. He named all his axe Ostia just to keep his head from going nuts. Unless they were named already.It was in his mouth as he moved.
Health -350
"Tap," as soon as his feet touched the ground, Azul moved to swing at Sin's torso. "Creen!" He cut deep on that hit. His axe glowed blue for a moment as he used Armor Break. Then blood magic to help replenish himself. His Pather would check for any influence as he took it in. The area that he landed turned back into flesh. No Reaper upgrades anymore. It dissolved from the attack.
"Woom woom!" A pagoda appeared near Azul. He ran to get at it but was stooped by a trace of nausea. Azul had to focus and push against it to stay in the fight. 'Mental Cleansing!' The spell hit everyone making them think a little clearer.
"I am coming!" Inferna released a torrent of flames burning at a large group of the enemy forces. She shot off and entered Azul. Giving him a boost of power. And helping him focus. 'I was tapped out and need to replenish. I think Ariel is almost there. Anima is about to have them all ended in the corner.'
'Thanks.' AzuI stabbed against Sin and felt a stronger connection with the Sigil's he placed. They were spreading with more of the magic he pushed out. 'I need to be restored before anything else happened.' Taking a breath, Azul swallowed the biotic strands from the surroundings. All of them vanished in an instant to fuel him. "That is the stuff!" Inferna used it to cast a healing spell. Engulfing Azul in fire.

"Vrrrrmmm!" Sin had forcefully fired the cannon. It was aimed right at Tidus who looked at his mom. He would die if he didn't pay attention.
"Dammit Tidus, get back in the fight!" AzuI yelled over his shoulder. Seeing him still fuss over his mom. "Boi! If you dont..." He stopped talking and let it be. "Bah!" Azul fired a concussive Shot at the Cannon. It arched in the air flying high taking out the summons of a few flying Aeons.
"Oh shit.." Tidus reacted to that. So did Jecht. Azul felt his soul grow stronger as he fought for control. However, he was also angry now.
"Ugh!" Auron groaned as the other pagoda spun and fired at him. He was instantly turned to stone.
"Auron!" Yuna yelled. She started to cast another spell but Riku, recovered slightly beat her to it.
"I got it. Do not waste your magic." Riku threw a bag with powder at Auron. It burst opened and he was free instantly. "I will take care of things like that. Keep everyone healed." Riku then threw a grenade at the Pagoda. A sticky substance trapping the Pagoda. Then burning it. She then turned to the other one.
"Got it!" Yuna said with a cheer. Energy washed over everyone instantly. AzuI felt calmer for one. She charged what spell she was casting and waited till it was really needed. Auron charged at the next pagoda. He stabbed his sword inside and kicked off it towards the other one. With the help of Lulu giving him a buff with wind magic, he sailed through the air.
"We have incoming!" Ariel yelled. A few more sin spawn had entered the area. They had a fight on their hands back there now. "I am tapped out." She flew off rejoining back into Azul.
"Screw it!" Anima was just about to finish against the current group. "Say good bye!" Her hand outstretched with death magic. "Death's Vanishing World!" A black spere shot out increasing in size. Black hands grabbing at the air. It hit into the enemy, causing them all to wither into nothing. "Ha.. ha.. that is it for me." She flew back and rested. 'The power of the World SHard is still not under my control.'
Sin came at Azul with a raised slap. The cannon was gone. Broken down into a claw giving him a lot of armor. Azul felt the magic gathered around as the claws heated up. Strange currents of electrical magic appeared around his backside. He was finally using the stored Gauss energy. It then travelled up his hand and down to his raised arm.
"Bzzt, bzzt!" AzuI watched as the magic tore through the World's reality. A use of Lift and Push, everyone was moved back further.
"Oh crap.." AzuI redirected his next attack and used it for Biotic Shielding. Just in time as he felt himself self become frozen. The hand came down and smashed through the Biotic shield sending Azul through the platform. 'At least he is moving to his next state. That was a powerful blow, but more from going through the ground.'

"Boom!" AzuI jumped out of the hole as fast as he could. Yuna used Curaga on him restoring a good portion of his Health health. Something inside Azul broke loose from that hit. His Dragon was pissed. And his Devil seething with anger.
Health +350
"Raaahh!" AzuI roared loud enough to disrupt the entire battlefield. It shattered both Pagodas that started to reform. The others were sitting trying to catch their breath and mostly done. "Grrr!" Steam left from his mouth as he warped the environment himself. 'Ah, so liberating to stop holding back.
"That is a really big Dragon." Lulu said. ' Wonder what it would be like to turn into a dragon flying around like that? Catching fish and.. I need to focus on recovering.'
System: Strength Check 40 Neutral
'Biotic Charge!' Azul rammed into Sin and pulled him away from the platform. Tail moving about stabbing into his side as he flew back. Claws going deeper and deeper as he gripped tighter. The Cannons from Overlord's Fury up above gathering power.
"Wham!" Sin struck Azul in his side. Azul dug a bit deeper into him. He was sending his magic directly into his flesh as he did so. Misty Fist was activated pulling water from down below. It gathered into the Overlord's Fury hands, since no more monsters were around that need direct attention.
Health -72
"Swoosh," The air pushed away as Sin got an arm free and swung his arm in the air throwing Azul off. His pagodas started to reform as he did so. As he was in the air, AzuI just teleported to get behind him. Tail smacking the Pagoda's around. He landed right on his back as he bit into his neck, building up power for an attack.
"Schlik!" AzuI ripped out part of his flesh. As well as a Control Node. Along with a piece of the mechanical attachment from the Necron part. More and more of the foreign tech disappeared. Another Node was inside and dug out with a twist and pull. It disintegrated instantly when it was removed. Sin pulled them back trying to make it to Tidus. Azul folded his wings causing them to head down.
His arm outstretched stabbing into the side of the building. He pulled them but towards it with a force that caused his back to explode some. The attachments overloading. They hit the side hard.
Health -121
"Grr." Azul growled feeling the pain. Grabbing onto Sin, he pulled further down his side. Claws burning into the flesh pulling it down. 'Just a little more!'
As they fell from the side of the building. Gund appeared from Sin's back. They were not Necron weapons but Imperial ones. Heavy Bolters opened fire and Lascannons could be seen forming.
"Booom!" The side Azul was holding on gave way. He had to spread his wings open and fly away. Missing most of the damage and getting a better look at things. The area was fine were the others were. They moved far from the edge. Which was smart.
"Scrrhh!" Sin slid down on his side. The Lascannons were almost ready to fire.
"Concussive Shot!" The blast fired with a wave of his hand. Hitting the Lascannon and blowing them apart. They reformed into tendrils. Azul watched a part of his tendrils disappear as they went back inside to heal him. 'Teleport!' AzuI appeared above him and wrapped around his neck. With a toss, Sin was thrown away.
'The World Shards are done settling in us.' Anima announced. 'Fighting with it, works better. The others are a little power drunk. Ariel from different reasons. She is excitied to see that attack launch.'
The water Azul gathered was ready. "Posiden Destroyer!" The powered sphere, was bigger than any he ever made before. It gathered instantly as AzuI felt the World actually help him in the fight. The others could see the attack from where they were like a small moon. Thats how big he made it.
"Haaa." Azul turned back normal at that. "Much better control this way." The cannons still charged in their location. It still was not over. 'Casting Mental Cleansing inside was a good way to go. The environment helps so much.'
Launching it at him, he watched as Sin was blasted into the water. He was getting pushed further down as the attack fed on the water. The power of the World left Azul the moment it detected the abnormality in the Pillar. The outside tech that was getting burned up from inside Sin, made the World stabilize again.
Teleporting over, AzuI reached into Sin's back and activated the Runes he placed on his back and pulled out Jecht. Several of the other people next. It was a pain to search. That is when everything decided to work again.
System: Free the souls of those trapped inside. Rewards: ???
Lluvia: Be careful the world is correcting at an alarming rate. The Administrator involved was captured and detained. Several of them were acting insane. They were forced into stasis until later. But some are still at large.
The pagodas were gathering around Jecht. They were trying to take him back. "Mental Cleansing!" Soon as it hit him, the pagodas stopped spinning and switched rotation. Light gathered around Jecht and the others. They gained some clothes. With the last of the World's strength, Azul teleported everyone to the rest.
"Fwoosh," As they arrived AzuI looked at the others. Tidus was with his mom who stood unsteady. He was as useless as could be in this fight now. The same was for Auron, and Riku. Yuna at least acknowledges the other people that arrived. She cast regen on everyone as she just sat their otherwise.
Lulu must have felt Azul's anger as she came over to him. The fight was not over. She looked at Jecht for a second and shrugged.
"Easy now. I take it .. Sin is still alive?" She reached out and touched his face in worry. Azul gave her a nod. "But in a different form right?" He nodded again. "They are not fit.. to fight. Anybody else to pull out?"
"Yup, things got in the way." Azul was upset that he couldn't gain full control of the World. But the World Shards he needed were gone. "But, he is coming back with his full strength most likely so get ready."
"A little more healing would be nice." Lulu said to Yuna.
"Ah, right." Yuna cast regen on Azul. Then she used it on the rest of the party she thought could fight. Which was.. herself and Lulu. "Ha.. this is about the last of it. I still have a few Aeons I can summon though." Her Bolt Pistol was ready. The strength she gained to use those were thanks to the gloves she wore.
"Good, we are going to need them soon." AzuI turned to see Jecht coming to. He looked at his wife and son then to Azul and nodded. Standing up, pyrflies gathered and he had his sword at the ready. A hulking piece of metal close to Auron's but somewhat shaped like an anchor.
Sin was back and had wings made from scales. "Damn it, man, just give up already!" AzuI fired a Concussive Shot at it. Blasting a part of the arm off. Reaching over with his biotics, he tried to pull the energy in. "Ugh, all gone." The creature Sin, had the biotic strands of some people wrapped into one at the forefront. It was nauseating. "It is going to be to hard separating that shit!" Especially since the Traitor Users had fed corpses into it. The remaining souls from people reside in the body and empowered it. An almost Reaper of Physical aspect and Emotionally.
System: Athletics Check 31 Pass
"Get ready!" AzuI yelled. He Jecht and Lulu were at the forefront. Lulu looked like a warrior with a change of clothes and two swords in her hand. 'It suits her in a way.' The pressure from its wings pushed everyone else away.
Yuna had Lulu's Plasma Pistol in her hand. Dual wielding both weapons as well.
As soon as it lands against the platform, Azul activated Adrenaline Rush and Misty Fist as well. He felt the water surround instantly. Something else was helping him now. Then he realized it was his Aeons inside him.
Jecht went left. Using his SpeedBreak on his sword. The green energy was way intenser than Auron's ever was. Lulu went to the right as her sword glowed red and black. Anima and Inferna giving her a boost.
System: Athletics Check 40 Pass
Sin had a deformed version of Jecht's sword. It was made of scales and building rubble. It swung the blade sideways in a sweep at them. Jecht slid underneath scratching the sword and Sin's arm with his own. Azul jumped on top and ran along the blade's length. When the sweep came to Jecht he just turned and brought that sword of his down.
"Jump!" Jecht yelled at Azul. He did so and went right towards Sin's face. "Raggh!" I heard him yell as his sword came down breaking Sin's sword to pieces. "Heh. Stupid imitation." He turned and was already coming back towards Sin.
"Lock!" Lulu yelled. She stabbed both swords into Sin holding it in place. "Death! Firaga!" She started spamming the spells. They immediately erupted from the blades causing constant damage.
AzuI landed on Sin's chest and drove his hands inside. Misty Fist spread inside stabbing in every direction like a needle spray. Pulling in and going back out over and over again.
"Dooom!" Indigo took that chance to act. Thwarting Azul's plan about suriving with the new plan. A part of his Prime Soul left to the future. Slightly jarred, Azul forced people out of Sin with uncontrolled anger. His Pather power wrapped around the souls of everyone inside. He gave who command...
"Command all of you to leave Sin!" The power of the Everchosen burned brightly. A Chaos Gate opened up forcefully. The gods started reaching in pulling the people out. 'Hold them! Do not feed on them, or I swear this will not be pretty!'
Chaos Gods: Of course.. we understand..
Lluvia: If they devour them, the penalty from the quest will kick in.
'Screw the penalty. I need them out of there. You had me obtain this power, I do not want to hear shit. I am trusting them, that is all I can do after everything.' Azul felt the Dark Dictator armor appear. His power kicked up another notch. The swords returned to Lulu. She and Jecht backed away. 'We put to much work into this. Do it now.'
Aeons: Understood!
As soon as Azul said that, his magic kicked up a notch. Up above him a summon appeared. He couldnt make it out, as chains went out grabbing at Sin.
The box the old man gave Azul came out. A man came out attacking again and again. He moved to fast for Azul to keep track of. It was over in an instant. Each blast of magic pulled Sin apart. The broken pieces went into Azul. As an Aeon itself, it had no choice.
System: Final Aeon obtained, Sin.
Sin, or the man that was it, remained there in place. nothing but a weird blob of misery when it was done. A reflection of the old man but different. Gripped in pain and anguish.They looked at Azul as if asking for forgiveness.
"Tch, Obelisk, the Tormentor." Azul called out. "Bahamut!" Both appeared and held them both in their gaze. "Pass Judgement." The Millenium eye burned bright as Azul disposition turn as neutral as possible. Time passed slowly, almost agonizing in a way. 'I want to kill him, but I gave my word.. I must be more careful.'
A giant chasm of light formed. They were done judging. Azul reached his hand out and pulled something free. A renegade option appeared over it. it hovered and passed. Then a Paragon option appeared. Not even paying attention to it, AzuI crushed the Renegade in his hand but choose the Paragon.
Apparently that was the right move to do still. Out walked a bunch of people. As in a lot of people. The came... from out of the System Shop. People that belong to the World of Final Fantasy X from every Reset. Bahamut and Obelisk went to work judging away. Some were taken into the Millenium eye and others were pulled into the Chaos gate. The ones who deserved punishment were. The innocent walked out of another Chaos Gate. Untouched by the Gods. They did not risk Azul's ire. Not with such rewards coming their way.
The turned pyreflies became a part of Azul's Dark Dictator form. Making it stronger and his presence stronger. Obelisk spread his wings taking in more. It's Judgement power growing stronger by the second. Bahamut freed more and more. Those that were caught in the crossfire. The Millenium Eye kept those that could go either way. They received a deep Rune mark. Indoctrinated fully but allowed to move about and enjoy themselves. They would serve Obelisk in various tasks in the future.
The others stood and stare in awe. A lot of fear and confusion about what was going on.
System: You have freed the souls of those killed by Sin in every Cycle. The World Of Final Fantasy X is freed from reset. Next startup, all Pillars will have a fresh start. Remembering nothing of any previous User or any changes.
Rewards: Calculating...
"Humph!" Azul snorted as he reigned in his power. A few World shard floated in front of him. He used this boost in power to forcefully call them back from the Users who took them to empower themselves only. 'Filthy Traitor Users.' His anger was very potent. The Chaos Gates vanished as they Chaos Gods were full. They would be for a while now.
"Fwoosh!" The World Shards entered the Aeons as he summoned them. They scattered around the plan taking Guardian positions. New Pillars of the World. One went into Yuna and Riku to keep his end of the agreement. But his Aeons would be their in case things went wrong. All but Anima, Inferna, and Ariel. They refused to part from him.
LIuvia: I cant believe you just did that. What you crushed could have given you an overwhelming amount of power in this World. I am proud of you though.
'Yeah well... it felt wrong in my hands in a way. I would have done horrible things with it in my current state.' AzuI said tiredly. He could already feel himself breaking apart. 'The Pather Power.. is dangerous. I need my other half back.'
"Shing!" As if hearing him call, it did. Azul felt it odd, as if his other half knew this was going to happen in a way. Several of his forces left. As well as a few people he didn't think would. Auron, Kimihari, Lulu, Dona, and Barthello.
Riku then yelled at Azul. "What the hell is going on?!"
"A change. Good luck." Azul started to vanish. Surprisingly enough, a statue appeared far away that he could feel. It was at a temple the Aeons created. 'What a weird thing they are up to.'
"No no no. Stop stay. I wanna show you so many places. You havent toured the Al Bhed capital yet! We have to rebuild it! You can help with that!" Riku felt so sad it would have threatened to overload his senses if I was completely here. "Stop! Do whatever you have to stay! We need to talk things over!"
"No." Azul then vanished more. Neither she are Yuna could leave. Even if they died. Azul turned them both into Central Pillars of the World. They would not be able to be Pulled anymore and would receive a notification anytime a version of them popped into the Shop. "A parting gift." He passed a sphere that contained his collective feelings for them and the World. Minus the ones of those that would stay with him of course.
Azul looked at Tidus and mouthed the words, eat a dick. He did smile though. He flipped Wakka and Chappu off just for shits and giggles. Jecht looked pained by Azul leaving. He wanted to say something but there was no time.
.
Returning to Mass Effect-
.
Arriving back in his Nether World, He was on the porch again. Lluvia, Hilda, Zelda, and Alita were nearby. Lettie had grab him the moment he appeared. She had his head in her lap staring at him. But said nothing. She wanted to say something but didnt in the end.
Galtea watched from the steps. She had been crying for some reason. She felt somewhat empty. Something terrible was coming. She had a hand in it, and couldn't stop it. Regret was there but so what. Choices were made. Azul drifted into sleep as that was the most he ever used his Pather power before.
A lot of mana pulsed in his Nether world. It was scary. As well as the zones for the Chaos Gods and the others. An awful lot of Gods and Goddesses in his Nether World. Very crazy amount. But they were all so weak from various things. Well not all of them.
.
Wakeup-
.
"Ughh. I dont even want to see the reports..." As AzuI looked over he saw Skarlet sleeping holding onto his arm. He saw a body behind her. Sitting up straight immediately, he saw that it was Aurora. Paying attention to them both, I realized they had their clothes still on. Touching himself, he was dressed in boxers and he didn't feel like he just had sex. "What is going on?"
"Mmhm, be quiet. Trying to sleep." A voice grumbled next to him on the other side. AzuI turned over, seeing Tifa.
"Tifa, what are you doing here?!" AzuI yelled forgetting that people were sleeping. "Not that I am complaining." He corrected himself not wanting to be that dick. "I figured you were busy with things."
Stretching like she was a cat, she stared at Azul. "What do you mean what am I doing here? I am here to stay, you idiot. Now be quiet for I can go to sleep." Just like that she turned over and went back to sleep. "I just went deal with some things is all."
"Right.." Azul felt a draconic tail wrap around him. He looked down and spotted another person. Emerald was curled up napping happily. 'Hmm, it might hardest on her not getting her daily douses from me.'
"Chssh!" The door opened as Slipp walked in. She had a few documents in her hands.
"How is everything with your brother's situation?"
"Good. Things are good. I am glad to not be in the field anymore as well." Slipp sat the documents down and looked Azul over. Her eyes shifting about slightly. "I think we have way more research material than I will ever need. I am glad you came here. Both times. Have a good day Commander."
"Have a good day Slipp." Azul gave her a smile and separated. "Have to do work. It is defintely piling up." As the other went to work, Azul went over every everything email wise. Also started talking with his Operators. 'Ok, so what is everyone doing in my bed?'
Lluvia: When Tifa arrived she ran straight to your room to check on you. Seeing you still asleep, she and I started talking. When she was informed Riku was not coming back she wanted to know everything that happened. When others came and it went from there.
'Well, thanks.' AzuI tried getting up but Tifa's Biotic Strands hit him hard. Then a hand from Aruora pulled him back harder. So AzuI just laid back and relaxed. 'So Lluvia tell me everything that is now happening.'
Lluiva: Some well-deserved downtime. The points you always have for business has been spent as needed. You have so much mana, that well... it is a bit of a problem. So, a War Planet was created in your Nether World just for fighting. Lettie and a few others are going ecstatic at the idea of going there to fight. Several areas for different avenues of training. Every Followers was created at Level 1 and have already made it into the 20's. A powerful force from the ground up is building for you.
'That is great.' Azul could feel the threat getting close. His 7th sense warning him not to get complacent. 'I will do a lot of Pull's coming up. Get ready for when everyone needs to get sent away for a bit. No discussion about it. It must be done.'
Lluvia: I ... understand.
