A Plagued Throne of Blood and Bone

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

[Open thread, however, I'd hope no one is dumb enough to join into the thread with a character that would end up getting skewered by a legion of dead.]

The rotting corpse of a man long since dead sat upon a high throne above all the corpses of the dead around the large throne room. Every empty space was covered by a corpse or pile of bone, above the floor was a small white haze of smoke. The ceiling was covered with fluttering bright lights moving back and forth in a beautiful light display. The throne room itself was dark aside from the light being given off by the bright blue wisps.

Under a bright light and a good scrub this room would be made of bright marble and the pillars made of pure gold. The ceiling was covered with paintings of Angels and the holy relics that dangled down golden chains. Not even God himself would step within these chambers. But few still walked here that were living. The large solid gold double doors slowly pushed open. In walked two hooded figures, behind them three more and one naked woman being dragged by the rope that bound her ankles together.

She had her arms tied together behind her around her elbows and wrists. She was being dragged on her front screaming for help, her body covered in cuts and bruises after the hooded figures had their way with her. They pulled her over the corpses, the bright lights above them started swooping down and entered those corpses slowly causing the room to shift and stand with the undead surrounding the living.

The hooded figures halted and let go of the rope, placing the girl before the corpse sitting in the throne. His head raised slowly and he stood, as he stood his bones cracked and whined as they rubbed together and shifted. His entire body was nothing more than hundreds of other body parts grafted onto what was left of his corpse. He looked before the hooded figures and waved his left hand over them parting them with his power alone.

He took each step slowly until he was on flat ground where he walked around the girl and stopped at her left side. He raised his hand over her and she slowly flipped onto her back. When her eyes met the hallow sockets of his own she began panicking and squirming.

"Silence," the voice didn't come from him exactly, but from within her mind. Even those hooded heard it. However, she didn't stop screaming for help. His body leaned forward at such an impossible angle and he touched his bone finger to her throat leaving a stain of blood she went instantly silent and he went back to standing straight.

"Good," said the voice as he motioned for one of the rotters in full black armor to bring him the case that sat next to his throne. Once in his hands he opened it and pulled out a large injector full of green liquid. "You will be the first to test this new strand of plague. You will mutate painfully but remain alive through the entire process. You will not die until your own insanity causes you to commit suicide by beating your head painfully into the pavement.

"Even in insanity you will feel and live every moment of this. This is the price you and any of my other Necromancers pay for killing any one of my disciples. I am not a fair and just man, nor am I a man at all, but I do not tolerate losing a willing servant to the cause of plague spreading and raising the dead."

He knelt down putting his knee into her pelvis causing her to jump and feel every emotion wash away from her instantly. Just touching him she became cold and morbid. Every part of her was drained of that good feeling one gets every day they wake up and enjoy life. His free hand grabbed her throat and his body moved over her sitting on her chest.

"In the end, you will still serve me in death." He jabbed the needle straight between her eyes. The force broke her nasal cavity and allowed the needle to enter her brain. He injected the fluids in her and stood up walking slowly back to the top of the stairs and sat in his throne again.

He watched as her body contorted in pain twisting and withering. Even though he had placed a curse of silence on her, it couldn't stop those painful moans. Her eyes began to bleed and her arms suddenly snapped at the shoulders beginning the mutation. He raised his hand and all of her bindings came free and she instantly bent her legs in illogical ways. Her body went forward onto her knee's and her head slammed into the pavement. Her arms dangled helplessly at her sides.

She was standing up, but her face was still against the ground, her feet were planted and she was at a full triangle with her hind end in the air. Impossibly her torso went back as if she was trying to straighten up and she hit the ground again and rolled. Both of her arms tore at the seams that they broke the bone shattered and splintered through her skin creating sharp points. Her knee's broken backwards and the skin tore but she began to stand again using those new limbs as leverage.

Her face was in utter pain, the arms began beating on her body causing lacerations and tore the skin causing her muscle and bone to show further. And then just as he said she slammed her head into the ground. When she was on the ground she lifted herself up and did it again, and again, and again until he stopped her by raising his hand again. She looked up at him and her lips moved slowly begging him to just kill her.

"I don't believe you have felt the full torment of my power just yet," he leaned forward, "You will feel the full mutation until your last dying breath when the plague has ran its course on you. Tie her to the pillar."

She was helpless, completely stopped by his power feeling her body continue to painfully shift. The hooded figures pulled her to the pillar and did as they were told tying her down. Every wound she had done to herself, every bit of flesh that was painfully dying and mutating, the pain in her skull, she would continue to feel it all.

He continued to watch, "Get the disciples, bring them here to witness the marvel of treachery." Two of the hooded figures would leave only to return later with a larger group of necromancers.

[Madara Uchiha]

Madara Uchiha walks at the edge of the city, or at least what he assumed was a city. This was somewhat similar to the way the Uchihas built their village, but the buildings were different, taller, made of a weird grey material. This troubled Madara, as he knew he was not of this world, and that his own my have been destroyed. However, this also made him happier, as now he had a new world to conquer, starting with this city. Madara activated his basic Shaningan, just as a way to prevent most sneak attacks. He enters the city, noticing the dead bodies piled in the street.

Hm... I probably should get to a vantage point, and scope the city.

Madara walks to a building close by, noticing that there even more dead bodies in the alleyway.

If all the inhabitants are dead, this will be an easy place to control.

Madara begins to run up the building and eventually reaches the top. There, he uses his Shaningan to look out to find charka, to see if there were any humans even there. Scanning around, he notices a large group of people walking together, but he could only sense them, not make out who they are. Madara grins a bit, and makes his way to the edge of the building he is on top of. He sits on the edge, and whistles for his hawk, but he does not come.

Such a shame, he must have not come here with me

Realizing that he hawk didn't come with him, he began to search where his gear would be, just to make sure that it was still there. All of it was there, his katana, kunai, paper bombs, and shuriken. He sighed with relief, knowing that he would have an easier time than just using jutsu, even though that would be easy as well. Madara looks down at the road, with all the bodies just littered down there.

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

The hooded figures would leave the area. Eventually they would return with four times their original numbers. They were on the long road back to the chapel. Everything was silent given that nothing was alive. Until a disturbance happened nothing would make a move except the living creatures that had the right of passage engraved in their flesh.

(ooc: I can't really reply with much when I'm given a cliff hanger to reply to. Just saying.)

[Madara Uchiha]

Madara stands up, and begins to run on top of the buildings to reach where the hooded men are. It takes him a while, about half an hour to reach the point of where he saw the men. However, it didn't bother Madara, as he remembered he had all the time in the world. Finally reaching the point, he realizes they have moved on, but not that far. They seemed to be heading to a large building, that has an ominous feeling about it. Madara begins to run along the buildings again to reach the new location of the group of people. They were about 6 blocks away from the building. Madara is high above them, and takes one kunai and throws it in front of the group of people, not trying to kill anyone yet.

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

A knife to the ground didn't slow these people. The core group of recruits carried on to the chapel while a number of the adept members remained behind. The Master of the group hovered his hand over the ground and through the entire area his cold dry dead voice could be heard perfectly clear as if the words were said through the very skulls of those out there, "Rom llie ardava mormhaor!"

Buildings and dark areas began to light up as bright blue whisps came alive and began to possess corpses in the streets the wraiths came alive screaming terror through the night air. The massive three story abominations crashed through ruins of buildings entering the large open area the voice came yet again, "Utu sen ent ndengin sen!" And then came the screech of the airborne. Gargoyles and massive flesh bats came over the horizon, it didn't matter how high up you were the would see you, it didn't matter how hidden you could make yourself the bats sonar could find you.

[Madara Uchiha]

Madara smiled at the enemies.

"Interesting, that kunai wasn't so much to start a fight, more so as to slow you down so we could talk, but I don't think we can do that either, can we, oh well, I do enjoy a good challenge.

Madara was still upon the building, and he quickly activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and took out his katana. He takes his katana, and stabs the building with it and lets go. He quickly does the horse hand seal, and his mouth expands, like his is holding his breath. Only a second passed, and he opens his mouth, and out of his mouth erupted fire. Close to him, it is narrow, but when it gets closer to the air attack, it expands to about the width of 100 meters and the hight of 50 meters. As it comes out, Madara continues to hold the hand seal, and yells out, "Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation! Madara knew that this would most likely miss a handful of the flying creatures, even though most of them should burn.

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

No one was allowed within the area of the damned without the mark of the damned themselves. Had the man stepped on the soil where they walked now he would of found himself worse on without the moment of surprise. The master necromancer had finally spotted the man who gave himself away with the tower of fire, at once he raised his hand showing the alchemy sigil across the back of his palm. His talon like nails clutched the air as he yelled, "Maskan Neshan!"

The same sigil appeared on the ground and a burst of black magic spread through the air. The winged beasts flew through his fire with no problem now becoming resistant to it. They looked to devour and plunge him over the side of the building where he decided to hide. All the same the two flesh abominations were moving in on the building they would destroy it within minutes.

[Madara Uchiha]

This isn't good, that means only wood release and two of my sharningan jutsu will work, as well as my weapons.

Madra quickly stopped his jutsu to form another. He forms the snake hand seal and yells Wood Release: Advent of a world of flowering trees! Massive trees begin to grow from the ground and are now covering the building. Huge buds appear, and they open. Madara then picks up his katana with his left, and gets a kunai out with a sheet of paper with a seal on it. He throws it as the man who first summoned the creatures with great speed. He then switches his katana to his right hand. The flowers now are releasing pollen in the atmosphere.

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

It wasn't the master who chanted after that but the many adepts surrounding him. Shards of their power came from their hands ripping the sheet of paper apart. As for the kunai the master lifts his hand causing one of the dead to get flung straight into the air taking it head on. He swings his hand aside discarding his pawn. The abominations slam into the sides of the buildings now covered with growth.

[Madara Uchiha]

Madara curses that his kunai was intercepted, but it didn't matter. The pollen from the trees was now in the atmosphere, causing the group below, and potently the monsters coming in to attack him to breath it in. Soon, they will be put into an unconscious state making them easy to deal with. He will have to stall, and the abominations slamming the building are not helping. He could easily beat them all with his Susanoo, but he needed to save that, because there was apart of that group that left. Madara realizes what he will do and begins to run on the building, and chops off the flower. After chopping off 9 of the flowers, he smashes a hole in the roof that he can fit through. He gets inside, so that he is hidden and quickly makes a clone seal. The 9 flowers are transformed into 9 Madaras, and they all jump into the hole. After the last one jumps in, all of them jump back out, including the original, but in a different order than before, hiding the real Madara. 3 of the Madaras run and attack the first abomination, and another 3 attack a second. 3 of the Madaras jump down with their katanas out and begin to attack the group of necromancers, and a lone Madara begins to run and jumps onto a different building and activates another Advent of a world of flowering trees.

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

The first rule of a zombie movie, everything is dead. Dead things don't breath. The master necromancer lowered his hands, "Mor aul mhaor," was all that escaped his mouth before both abominations exploded, their bodies releasing dark green plague clouds into the area over powering the pollen easily. The plague clouds were used on living beings to create the undead anything living would inhale it and begin the process of necrosis with constant contact with the plague.

The cloud hadn't made it to the other three just yet but it was coming in quickly. The adept necromancers turned their bodies and stomped throwing their hands out both yelling incantations as chained ice was released from their palms on all three targets, this wasn't a projectile spell at all, it was a slowing spell. The master had plenty of time to lift his hands over his head, "Mor aul khelek!"

Over his head blue ice began to form in a massive ball, he slammed it into the ground before them creating hundreds of sharp shards before throwing both hands forward sending the waves at the three coming toward the necromancer group.

[Madara Uchiha]

The abominations exploding did worry Madara, but it was over. All that were left where 4 Madaras, the three that were charging and the one on the different roof, who had covered the building with the flowering tree again. However, the three Madaras on the ground were being attacked by the necromancers. This was no problem though, as Madara had great speed and reflexes. The first one was only scratched on his left arm, and the second was able to use his katana to stop the projectiles coming at him. The third was not as lucky, and one of the shards pierced his left arm and his left leg. Despite the injuries, the three Madaras continued with their attack. The first one runs and attempts to grab a necromancer along the edge, and stares into his eyes. The second one attempts to grab the necromancer who raised his hand. The third, due to his injuries didn't attempt to grab any of the necromancers, but instead leaped into the middle of the group and yelled "Nativity of a world of trees!. This caused a miniature forest to grow within the middle of the group. The Madara one the roof began to throw kunai with the seals at the flying creatures at great speed.

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

Each of the grabbed Necromancer twisted easily out of the grasp of their foes with a combination of magical resistance and foot work similar to dancing. The grand master simply put a shield between himself and the others as he continued to do his work. The tree's began to grow and the plague cloud began to consume the area. The necromancers had long since become immune to the plague due to magical seals, however, Madara would have to find his own way of not becoming one of the walking dead as he would begin to breath in the fumes of the green cloud.

The grand master necromancer lowered his hands and removed his hood showing his grey skin covered with black veins, his eyes yellow with corruption from the magics he used, he flicked his wrists aside and raised his hands shoulder level, "I' ringwe sul hilkin!"

Very rapidly the temperature of the area went from around 70 degree's fahrenheit to 0. The chill stunted the growth of more plant life into the area and increased the necromancers abilities with icemancing. Speaking of which. The copy in the middle would suddenly be matched by numerous undead knights that were summoned by the acolytes while the grand master directed the full power of his ice bearing attacks upon the other copies.

As for those in the sky, with the cold wind they began to thin out dispersing the skyline as numerous other abominations began moving in from other parts of the city. The entire area in front of the chapel was shoulder to shoulder with the undead and the elite knights were beginning to rise.

[Madara Uchiha]

They are stronger than they look, which is not good for me, I may have to use Susanoo...

The Madara on the roof threw a kunai at one of the gargoyles, but missed and hit the flower, though at an angle he couldn't see. He began to fell overwhelmed and ran to the flower. He cut the flower, and used the clone seal again, in an attempt to create another clone, but activated the seal on the kunai, and all the kunai attached to the gargoyles. The explosion covered the entire top of the building, and when the smoke cleared, the body of madara was lying on the ground. Peddles of flowers half burnt laid on the building as well. As for the three on the ground, it didn't matter if they could evade or not, as long as they fell for the genjustu. The one in the middle yells "Fire Release: Great fireball jutsu! and is aimed at the forest in the middle. The forest explodes into an inferno, increasing the temperature to a bare able 60 degrees. The other two use their katanas and begins to attack the necromancers with there high mastery of katanas.

[Der-Sprecher-des-Wahnsinns]

The necromancers weren't the threat to any of the clones. As they drew their swords to attack them they were met by steel as the Undead Knights moved in to protect their masters. Enchantments upon enchantments were being chanted by the adepts giving the knights personalized powers depending on the adept. The grand master of the necromancers simply kneels down and sits on both of his knees, he touches his forehead to the ground and places both hands at the helm of his head.

"Ta naa amin melborp tur."

The wicked and powerful voice roared from the chapel as Mhaor Palu beckoned closer, "Your failure to protect these lands shows in your acolytes. Stand aside." Finally The Baron of Death stepped outside into the area. The fire would of began to smolder from the ferocity of the chill that left his bones yet again dropping the temperatures.

He raised one of his bony hands at the clones and clinched his fist sending spikes to rapidly rise from the ground into each of them. The being he had created earlier suddenly burst past him into the area at rapid speeds and bound straight into and up the side of the building moving at nearly mach 1 as it made it to the top and sent itself straight into him head first.
