Refreshed emotionally they went into the fight headfirst. Kozilek dropped into Zendikar ready to cause trouble. But traps were sprung and bogged the bastard down. As his forces pored through arches, long rage weaponry destroyed them and the environment.
The problem didn't arrive until he received a message for help. Jane, Sorin, and Swift forces were ambushed dealing with Emrakul. Azul's forces that were dealing with several other Traitor Users were to busy. He seperated and left in a Plane shift to go and help. Considering Gideon, Liliana and the other Planeswalkers that joined him were there under Cassandra & Tifa's command, it was a definite need to go help.
Lettie was holding her place away. She was to finish of Kozilek by any means if they fail. That was plan A. Plan B was the preferred method for now. Her Millenium items shined brightly.
"Do it!" Azul ordered. Chari, Zelda controlled the Earth and seperated it in several locations to move over. Jaina, Azul, and several casters sent it flying around the monstrous Titan to bury paths off from it.
Kozilek's tried to dig into the ground and uproot the soil. As he did so, Nissa ordered the elves to trike. Green magic lit up all around as thousands of elves joined togethor with a joint spell. The ground had Rune's embedded deep underground. Keeping it from burrowing deeply and spreading to escape.
"Krraccck!" Roots and vines bound the spread tentacles in place. The beast was strong but not that strong to content against countless elves. The members of the Alliance stood at a distance. Several spells activated searching for any Eldrazi threat or any fool dumb enough to step out of line.
Azul's Deathdealers appear at any location that had a hint of trouble. Very rarely having to do much.
The mass of tentacles for legs worked against it in this situation. Its thing of a mouth in place of a head was a prime target. Up above, Candace, Cassandra, and a group floated ready to open fire. Kozilek's body was covered in eyes and chitin, weird plates floated around it's body.
A few of the forces of Mass Effect locked on and pulled on the plates with Lift, then Fling. They were ripped away and sent high into the air. Several flying spellcasters released a bombardment of Fire spells to complete disintegrated it. With no trace left behind, they float out of the battle zone to recover.
"RRraaaahhh!" Kozilek yelled in frustration and pain. Soon as it's hands raised up, Shalla, D'Vorah, Antiqua and a few Kor folk grabbed hold with green spells. "Grrrraaaa!" Yelling in protest, it tried to resist.
"Fire!" Azul declared over the area.
"Boom!" The very air rattled from the precise shot all at once. It's open maw was fired upon. Multimeltas burned away the sides of the area. Pushing the weapons to the max to do the utmost damage. The sky broke as several aircraft dropped bombs in the inside.
"Barriers up!" Jaina ordered. Several mages stepped forward. The combined interwoven barrier shield the forces. Nissa and her forces braced themselves for the pain that would hit the vines. "Hold fast!"
"Kaaabbooomm!" As the bombs range out and filled the area, the barriers held the devastation back. Azul joined in and bolstered the Barriers with the ability he gained from Galtana. The boost made the barriers stronger and the spellcaster felt their vines increase in strength.
"Fire Mages..." Jaina called. "Grab hold!" The forces took control and grabbed the burning rampant energy inside. The barrier went down as they lifted in the air. She turned to Azul to see if he was ready. He nodded. "Channel!"
"Fwish!" The large surge of mana came around and burned into Azul who flew up to meet it.

System: Constitution Check 45 Fail
His Flame Fist burned white hot. Azul activated Overlord's Fury. Both hands made of concentrated fire. He weaved the spell despite the pain. Healer's casting away behind him. Fighting against it every step of the way.
Health +1200
"Second fire!" Jaina yelled. Every caster fired again with red spells. Everyone else switched to barriers and supporting the caster that held Kozilek in place. His tentacles were almost gone, however.
"Come!" Kozilek squeaked out. It distorted the environment. Opening arches in the air. Countless openings appeared letting Eldrazi horrors in again.
"Push Squad!" Jaina yelled. All around, spells pushed against the air. All the creatures that appeared were pushed to were Kozilek was. "Fire!"
Elspeth and the others under her fired a barrage of white mana spells to help. Her fortification magic was held in reserve incase things went bad. The Royal paladins were spread out to help with containment and evacuation if it was needed.
Heavy Flamers poured fire down from above. Nissa had the elves pull away and the vines reached up and smacked against any of the Eldrazi Horrors that tried to escape. Azul finished the spell prep.
"Ravaging Blaze!" The red spell was so overpowered that is did not end the beast, Azul was calling hacks afterward. His min reached out to the casters to redirect mana towards him. Anyone not a High-Level mage had to pull back. "Raaaaaah!" Azul's mouth open as he fired Mega Flare!
"Booom!" It fired into the Kozilek. Ravaging Blaze burned brighter. Once the others who were not strong enough pulled away, Jaina raised her hand. The Plane itself lending it's magic to her.
Kozilek took the smallest opening and tried to cast a spell.
"Circular.." blue mana shred the area into a lighting storm. "..Logic!" She counters Kozilek's spell with precision. holding there, she kept countering each spell that came. But it was taxing even with the Plane helping her. "Dammit!"
Feeling outside interference, she called Slannesh to her side. With her strong connection with Eldar and Azul, its power was way easier for her to wield. Seeing a disturbance from Kozilek's ability to distort things, Zelda's wielded the staff of Tzeentch to stop it. She did not have enough time to master, however.
Hilda: She will need a little help. That monster is targeting her directly.
"Mental Cleansing!" Azul couldn't really focus it on her, so he blanketed the area. Which worked better in clearing everyone from the influence. "Haaa!" Azul sighed heavily. Zelda pushed her magic to the limit pulling on the triforce piece she had.
'Thank you.' Zelda smiled focusing back on things.
"Burrrnn daaammmnnn you!" Azul nose started to bleed as he cast more and more magic spells. The area burned with more and more heat. Getting to the point it would reach the warning zone in the ground. The earth already turned to magma and boiled. Feeling the power wear out, Azul dragged energy from the psychic impressions of the people who died in the area. "Give me a hand!"
System: Persuasion Check 30 Pass
The Lich King armor and Froustmourne appeared. Several Valkyr appeared in the area. Floating around in patterns. Spectral magic floated around and entered Azul and Jaina. It helped pulled the unwilling in faster. More appeared and bolstered Jaina now. It wouldn't take long to tap the sword and armor out at this rate.
As the fire disappeared, Kozilek's body started to vanish.
"You think will fall?" Kozilek voice droned out. "We are unending!" Despite it's conditions, it held itself there.
"Not really." Azul sent the Lich King armor away. Froustmourne going next. "But I know a way!"
Azul's clothes turned to robes as a staff appeared. He looked like a summoner as magic burst forth. Dangling from his ears, were a pair of golden teardrops. They were melted down Millenium Items he bought from the System. The only ones he would wield is the one Lettie gave him. These were unfinished and would burn away after one use.
"Sching!" His Millenium Eye shined brightly.
The entire area locked down as they entered the Shadow Realm. Slowly black specters started grabbing at Kozilek. Ripping apart the collective consciousness. They were endless. As they hungered for its strength to keep whole.
"Lady Elspeth, our Guardian has a lot of terrible things in his arsenal." One of Elspeth's guards said. The others nodding in agreement. "But at least he is using it to take care of our enemies and protecting things."
"Yes..." Elspeth just watched as she recovered. One thing she kept track of, that Azul only did what it took to end the enemy. 'He spent a lot of time to help heal the forces in town of Eldrazi influence. Spreading medicine and even restoring the land. That desert was even infused with water.' Elspeth would not step back from this still. "You can leave if you want. No one will stop you. I have said this before."
"We are with you. But what about after?" He was worried about after the Eldrazi issue was done.
"After, you can come with us to another Plane. While you rebuild or travel if you like. The chance for something better." Zelda came up behind them. Crystals made of magic spread out protecting them from the effects of the Shadow Realm. "There are a few other places growing under him already. A few laws in place but other than that, he just visits them. Not changing anything."
"Is your planet there?" Elspeth turned to ask. "Back in his Nether world?"
"Yes. But my people were all wiped already by someone else. Right now a few of the other gods of my "Plane" are slowly restoring it. The people are sleeping currently in a way. Waiting to be revived. Right now only a few "inhabitants" move around." Zelda said as she watched the shadows. They looked pretty to her. She would ask Lettie later if she can have one of the Millenium Items. "But only the loyal receive that chance."
Zelda smiled at Elspeth. The young woman had grown on her a bit.
"You turn Lettie!" Azul called out. She appeared in front and used the Millenium items to the fullest. Up above, the Winged Dragon of Raw appeared. "Well shit..."
"Frwwwoooosshh!" Gloden Flames burned away at Kozilek. Each part that was burned, was pulled apart faster by the shadows. The eyes of Ra burned brightly as the Shadow Realm obeyed the God. More hands went to work ripping apart Kozilek.
The Millenium items worked in tandem even more. The monstrosity that was Kozilek was no more. No longer able to revive itself in the vast Planes. Not unless Lettie did so. Which she would not do.
"Ha...ha... this.. was exhausting." Lettie collapsed. "I.. didn't think.. "
"Shush. You did great." Azul brushed her hair a little. She did a great job. He was happy the plan work. "Destroying the body of the Eldrazi is just a small thing. The large mind and it's consciousness must be removed. Which we are good at."
"Yes, even Slannesh enjoyed eating some of it." Jaina said. She held the sword out looking it over. "But it looks tiresome for us. I can tell it is slumbering, digesting it. So is the Lich King Armor and it only took a small bit. Those Valkyr.."
"They will stay here. Nothing wrong with that." Azul said. "Frostmourne is exhausted once again. these God level creatures are getting to be a pain. We need more.."
"We have a lot already." Jaina said quickly. "To many and we paint a target on our backs for greedy people. Her eyes dug into Azul. 'I know you want to be able to wipe them out with ease, but... I rather not draw to much attention to us. I already had to take care of a few Users trying to take out artifacts awhile back. How they found out was an eye opener.'
"You are right." Azul agreed for the sake of the others. 'A spy in the Alliance.' Jaina nodded. "Let's leave the Shadow Realm first, but hold on." Azul looked at the Winged Dragon of Ra. "Take care of her, she is really important to me."
"Of course Obelisk, she is my vessel after all. We are one in the same." Ra's voice came out slightly feminine. Causing Azul to freeze for a few seconds. he left not wanting to have that conversation. "Such a powerful one. I will not separate from someone such as this. To much to be done with this User."
Golden Flame's wrapped around Lettie helping her heal mentally faster. Ra knew more fighting was needed. A small temporal disturbance on the outside caused a slight issue. Someone had tampered with things.
