Alone in the Dark

Morningnoonnight morningnoonnight morningnoonnight.

Dusk.

He stands, watching. Waiting. That perfect moment. He must continue waiting for it.

Morningnoonnight morningnoonnight morningnoonnight.

Dawn.

"Finally...." he mutters to himself, sheathing his sword. "Finally.. that moment I've been waiting for has come.. Finally my lifelong goal will be reached.. Finally.." He brushes thin strands of hair away from his icy blue eyes, staring into the distance, where the flaming sun peeks out over the horizon. He then smirks, and pats Ray of Light, which is attached firmly to his belt at the waist. Only one of his toys.

"The time is now.. Now.."

((Okidoki aritchoki, here's how this RPG is gonna work. It takes over the course of one day, and every so often in one of my posts I will post the current time. At precisely 12:00 midnight our good friend Rand will murder Ayn and take over our known world. Unless you can stop him first. It's a bit different, but I thought I'd give it a try.))

The time is now 5:30 AM.

((YAY conclusion to Rand saga! I'm gonna try to join but I do have to leave Monday for Florida.))

Gale sits on the tower of his castle. He was resting. He had added a few things to his treasure collection earlier and he was quite proud of himself. His eyes suddenly open and he scans everything that he can see. "Why do I sense something wrong? ..Yes..something is happening..or in the process of it.." Gale stands up and ponders what he should do. "Nothing else to do.. it is not yet the time for me to act. I might as well investigate.." Gale floats down from his tower and to the ground.

Yukiko sat, perched on branch in the cold morning. Opening her eyes, she breathed in the cold, stale smell of monring. Mmmph... I didn't fall asleep in this tree, did I? I don't usually sleep put of doors, and I wonder why I am here.
Rubbing the sleep from her eyes, Yukiko stretched and let out a yawn. Something will happen today, but I don't know what, just yet. The air is still and the skies are calm; but something does not feel right.
Looking to the sky, she noticed that the sky was an odd reddish colour, unusual for this time of morning. Glancing at her watch, Yukiko frowned. Something is coming. Something evil, and someone will die tonight. Blood will be spilled.

She lies asleep, the covers pulled up to her chin. The sun warms the room, it's inviting gaze resting on her face.

Ayn opens her eyes. Nearby, she notices her young sister, Bianca, snoring slightly, perched in a chair clutching her doll.

She watches Bianca with amusement. Although... something feels different today. She sits up and yawns, wondering whether she feels ill or if she feels a foreboding sensation.

Gale looks at the sky and thinks for a moment. "What is it I sense? ...Familliar... Damn I can't get a clear sense.. I might as well look in the area around here." Gale starts walking away from his castle and into the sourounding woods.

~Some 50 leagues from Ayn's current location~

He chortles to himself, walking briskly while taking in the red sunlight. He sniffs the air, taking note of its foreboding scent. "Heh.. Even the undead knows when it is on the brink of destruction."

He unsheathes Ray of Light and taps the ground lightly with the tip. Immediately the earth spreads out in all directions with a low rumble. He looks down into the dark hole, smirking.

"You know what to do, my friends.." The earth rumbles in reply, and immediately a black swirl shoots up from the hole and spreads out across the sky.. Forming a sort of synthetic eclipse.

Gale stops and looks at the sky and the eclipse. He is puzzled for a moment. "An eclipse..? That can't be right. It must be.." A though crosses Gale's mind and his eyes widen. "No...this couldn't be him...could it?! NO! This could ruin everything!! All my careful planning...and he might... He'd ruin it all! Now I have to investigate.." Gale increases his speed toward the town near his castle. Gale doesn't bother to stop at the comment. "What's with you? Still have a thing for 'cute little girls'?"

*#1 is waking up, after a long night he wants to stay in bed but he forces himself up. He notices it's dark outside and checks his watch. It reads 5:34 AM. The sun is usually out by then. He goes outside and to his surprise, it is pitch black. "What in the world? Damnit. . something is gonna happen. . what could it be. . ?"

Ayn's eyes go dim along with the loss of light, and she tries to make her way through the dark, grabbing a whimpering Bianca's wrist and leading her outside. It seems that everyone else in town is doing the same.

She makes her way to another townsperson. "Excuse me sir, but.. what's going on?"

The man cackles. "It's the damn eclipse! Soon we'll all be dead from the lack of sun!" He bursts out into a fit of laughter, and Ayn, deciding this man was not the type to associate with, inches away slowly.

#1 heads back inside and thinks for a little bit. Wondering what it could be that caused this, for this was no regular eclipse. . then it hits him. "Oh, my God. . it. . it can't be. . I gotta go. . " With that, #1 races out of the door.

Elsewhere, Yukiko is wandering around in the woods. There has to be someone who can-Damn it! Yukiko drops to the ground after feeling a rather unusal shaking motion in the ground.
No! This cannot be! Scrambling to her fet, Yukiko begins to run frantically looking for anyone who can help her figure out what's going on.
Approaching what looked to be a large castle or mansion of sorts, she straightened her jacket and boldly went to the door. With a trembling hand, she knocked. H-hello? I-is anyone there?

The time is now 5:45 AM

A grin spreads across Rand's face as the wind blows.. He spreads his arms out, closes his eyes, leaning against the gusts. His eyes suddenly open.

"Now."

The foreboding darkness is suddenly replaced with a blinding light.. As people all around shield their eyes, the light splits, shooting off in different directions, leveling canyons in its way, clearing forests, until finally.. The beams crash down on the people. Their eyes stare up at the sky, their mouths open, as if they were breathing in the light, and they collapse.

Rand senses the earth rumbling slightly, and smiles. "Heh.. People are so easily swayed to do my will.. I'll have to use more heavy artillary on those blasted friends of that damn child's though.."

Gale sees the light and as it hits him his dark aura pulses. "Gr..I will not become a simple puppet.." Gale's aura consumes him and he continuous into the town. "This is Rand's work..he will die before this is over."

A figure walks up next to Rand, a medium-sized sword sheathed on his back. "...You said you needed heavy artillery, sir?" The figure's eyes glow for a second and he grins.

Ayn stares in shock and disbelief at the scene before her.. "My.. God.."

It doesn't take her long to realize she's the only one still standing. She turns abruptly and her eyes widen. "Bianca!!" She falls to her knees and grabs the child by her shoulders, shaking her slightly. "Bianca, wake up.. Please.." Shakes her a little harder, tears already spilling down her cheeks.

~~~~

Rand smiles at his assistant. "I believe you've been equipped with the proper tools necessary to enslave those still standing, so I give you the orders to get on with it. I have more important matters to attend to."

Rand? Strange, I've never heard that name. Hm. He could possibly be the great power reponsible... Leviates and follows Gael, but is out of his range of sight.

#1 sees the light headed his way and he tries to hide. But it stills reaches him. He struggles hard to fight against it. He wins. He sits down for a little bit catching a breather. "Damnit. . it is him. Rand. . Rand is back. I have to reach the others. . surely they already know."

Gale scoffs at Chaos' presence, even if he can not be seen. He enters the town and fails to bat an eyelash. "Pathetic, weak minded, humans." He enters the town and looks around.

Ayn lies Bianca down again, and stands. She sees Gale and immediately her expression turns to bitter anger. "Just my luck. Everybody in the world's probably been obliterated and I'm stuck with you."

Gently falss down to the ground next to Ayn. Somehow, I would believe it is better than this 'Rand' I keep hearing about. Thinking. My... your soul is powerful. You are most likely the one... I can only hope that it or 'Rand' is not a threat...

The figure nods to Rand. He gathers energy briefly and takes off towards his selected target, a power that is isolated from the others.

Ayn sighs. "I suppose you're right.. Although I'm finding it hard to believe I'm saying that." Her gaze moves to Bianca, and she glares at Gale, who is looking at her too, with tears in her eyes.

Rolls his eyes and pops a cigarette in his mouth. You two can never do anything without arguing. Can't you two do something more profitable, such as stopping Rand?

Rand smiles at Fury's retreating back, and he turns towards the sunrise again.

"Come back to me.." His arms stretch out towards the heavens, and the wind blows with hurricane force.. The earth beneath crumbles, sucking in the weak-minded affected by the light, and the earth swallows them up the instant it opened its jaws.

~~~

Ayn scowls, and opens her mouth to speak, but the sight of her sister being sucked into the earth stops her short, and she runs desperately to try to pull her out. "Bianca!!!" The child quickly disappears into the earth with the others, leaving Ayn on the ground, sobbing.

Her tears will have to be saved for later, as the voice of #1 speaks to her. She responds with a wavery voice. "I can hear you..."

"I'm.. fine.. I'm with Gale and Chaos, but... Bianca's.. gone.."

You think I like having to listen to you two argue? And if you haven't figured it out, Sherlock, 'Rand' is sucking a little girl into the earth. He takes notice of One's presence. Well, there's me and Gale.

Ayn is silent, sitting there, not feeling anything, rather numb. She starts singing softly, an old song she used to sing to her sister to help her sleep. Other than concentrating on the sound of her own voice, she is aware of nothing else.

~~~~

Rand steps at the foot of a castle. He turns to his left, towards the east. He smiles. "The girl is there with her friends.." He turns back towards the door and smashes it open, and he walks in.
