Can you make a whip out of a rose, turn in a fox demon, and be a masterful strategist? No? Then forget that.

The area itself is real, since that section of reality has been altered to a different reality. The Raiden you're facing, however, will rely on a mix of illusions and real attacks.

And Garud gets all emotional about Raiden betraying them all. But remember, it's actually worse for the enemy for Garud to get like this...

Something big is going to happen. You will never see it coming, I guarentee it.

But what if I can... yeah, I can't...

Well Raiden, with my post it seems your secret is out. You may be looking quite sheepish in the future.

It seems the negotiations between POS and Raiden are going smoothly. Oh the maneuvering. A scheme is afoot. If you can't see it, that's because its invisible.

Also, Rhiya and Krylo vs one Raiden. I know how this is going down. I can see the future.

I sense it's kinda late to ask, but. Were those last attacks real or illusion?

Meh, we'll call them real for now.

But from now on, you won't know what's real or illusion. He'll make illusions, but every so often, real attacks will be tossed in with the fake ones to keep you guessing.

[EDIT]: Also, I love my new avatar. It kicks much ass.

The negotiations fell apart. Literally.

And Raiden, I like your new avatar, too. Is that the Ultimate Warrior?

Advantage: Pedro.

That was brilliant. Now, if only Ecurt and I could deal with these swarms. Or if Ecurt would get online.

No idea, POS. Just did a search for "Thunder" and "God", and the pic came up. Did some editting and BAM!, I gots me a new avi.

Also, POS, you basically went from the frying pan and into the fire. The tower is going to be messing with your head quite a bit until the others finish with their puppets.

Also, you DID know that he altered reality, right? Which meant that the money he gave you was REAL, you know?

I honestly didn't see you passing that up.

I had to cut my losses. The money I got from Premonitions pretty much has me covered for quite a long time. Icing on the cake is nice, but that survival instinct has to kick sometime.

And I've got my own frying pan for you in that tower. The place is completely outfitted with POS Industries technology. It's not as good as warping reality, of course, but it should at least allow me to get to work on some things....

EDIT: On another note, as many of my weaknesses as Raiden tried to exploit, there was one that he missed that was a major cause of his defeat.

As any of my friends can attest, I'm a sucker for a cute girl in a sailor fuku.

Raiden, mind explaining to me exactly what is going on, so I can post?
