Welcome to Gaia! ::

Now that we're totally gonna abandon the Deathgate Castle events, we need a conclusion of all the events we skipped. This thread is for people to come together and post thier versions of what you think would happen as a result of the Battle of Deathgate Castle. We'll make edits and changes to something we all agree with. I'll refrain from posting my version until later, so I don't influence people's stories.

Hmm.... Atsu's actions are going to depend on Setsuna I suppose.

Well, after the dopplegangers dissappeared, Atsu would have wanted to check on Kura. After the rather odd comments he had been making. Not having a faster way up, that would mean climbing the tower again.

Taken back by what he saw, Atsu would demand to know what had happened. He would not leave the tower until he knew why Kura killed Shou and knew that Kura was alright.

No, shou was downed by his previous attack and was brought to the tower to rest. Then he was animated by setsuna's magic and killed by Kura who was trapped in Setsuna's illusion.

anyways, since i've negelcted this thread too long i'll try to post the general events of what would happen.

Kura and Atsu stay in the tower while the other monks fight Shiroh and Setsuna on the battlefield (the wakiji forces take no part, this is a duel). Seeing as Shiroh is outnumbered (It's like Kami, EM, Ithy, Zato, and Panda vs Shiroh and Setsuna) he reanimates Rasetsu and Miroku to even the playing field. Shiroh naturally stands back while the monks (and zato) fight off Setsuna and the reanimated generals once again. They triumph, but have no more strength to fight Shiroh who stood back the entire duel. This is where Kura and Atsu finally come down from the tower. With the combined strength of the all the monks they manage to defeat Shiroh and seal him away in tenkai stone. Naturally, the wakiji army falls and becomes dust after thier leader is destoryed.

This still doesn't solve the fact that DM is still about. DM suddenly appears at the top of the tower...badly wounded. Ryu rejoins the rest of the monks and tells what DM was doing down in the deep labyrinths of Deathgate. The demon he spoke of before has broken loose and has engaged in combat with DM. The demon also appears on top of the tower to finish off DM, Kura and any other monk that's still got energy to fight runs up the tower to find DM slain by the demon (and thus, the stasis feild is gone.). The monks try to fight off the demon be it proves to be stronger. Right before we are about to be slain Celest pops in and uses some kind of celestial summoning to send the demon back to the netherworld.

yeah, sorry i put that in backwards order. i meant that shou was killed by kura after being animated by setsuna's magic. which you clarified. but that still would be a fight to see. mrgreen
