Dragonsbane nodded, "Some things are almost unkillable, even when destroyed. The body can be obliterated, but the sentience remains...eventually finding a new body and returning to power. This thing we fight is one of those. To kill him, we must wipe his mind from the universe."

He reached into the pocket of his robes, and pulled out...the Calvinball. He held out his hand, palm facing toward BobII, the Calvinball floating a few inches in front of his hand. He chanted words of power, words that had existed even before he was born, energy coruscating around his arm and hand, pouring into and out of the Calvinball. The orb began to glow, charging up.

"Distract him...I only need another second." DB said through gritted teeth as he focused his power through the Calvinball.

By sheer act of the Plot Device, when Dragonsbane said, "Distract him," CheshireThief and the Army of Amazons appeared. "Sorry I'm late, I've been a bit... umm... 'busy' if you know what I mean." He winked. He then turned to face BobII. CheshireThief took the guitar off of his back. When revealed, it was the legendary IBANEZ. He smiled, and the Plot Device hooked him up with the world's largest speaker stack, almost as tall as the Towers themselves. Pick in hand, CheshireThief yelled through a microphone, "Amazons! Attack!" He began playing... the song... the song... "Welcome to the Jungle" as his Amazons began their approach. He silently willed a message to Dragonsbane, I hope this is a good enough distraction. Those Amazons aren't cheap, you know.

OOC: Alright, time to start wrapping up. Here's my idea for an ending.

IC:

As DB attempted to destroy the mind of BobII, he failed to notice that he was about to be assaulted by a legion of trolls and a couple of orcs. Jadarendir saw, and made his staff a bow, armed with a full quiver of etherial arrows. He shot four at a time, quickly disposing of the enemies. But he missed one.

The last troll brought his axe down hard on DB's shoulder. DB started bleeding heavily from the shoulder, but dismissed the assault as nothing more than a nuisance. He swung his hand back, and beheaded the troll in a single motion. The loss of blood started to effect him quickly, and he got dizzy.

Thaumaturge saw this, and continued to launch magic missile-like strikes. TD also pitched in, commanding his army to use Thunder-doken against BobII. They all struck different points, but the enemy would not die.

Almost everyone else on the field was dead or unconscious, save for CheshireThief, who was watching his Amazons attack BobII as well. The attack was going fine, until the mace swung yet again. Many soldiers were swept out of existence in the blink of an eye. It seemed hopeless; how do you destroy the indestructible opponent?

Jada knew the answer: you give him what he wants, and more than he can handle.

Jada leapt onto BobII's giant back, which was now almost as big as Mount Me itself. He climbed all the way to the top, dodging arrows from the leftover trolls and orcs. He reached the back of the helmet and stabbed deep with Masamune. BobII still did not die.

Jada took his staff and jabbed it into BobII's brain. It glowed and power surged into it. Jadarendir knew that every being has a limit, and BobII had almost reached it. All that was needed to destroy him was to exceed it.

BobII continued to grow, but then he screamed and before any could realize, he exploded. The brightness of the explosion had NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE.

Jadarendir fell to the ground, landing on his spine. When the other players attempted to see if he was alright, they all suddenly disappeared. The field resetted, and they were returned, in top shape.

Welcome back to the game.

THE END

OOC:Hmm... very well, here's my stab at ending this:


IC:
Thaumaturge dropped his attack in disgust, the magic doing nothing to stop BobII. Perhaps he could not be stopped. Perhaps this was the end. Perhaps... but wait... Even a thing which cannot be killed can be beaten, if it can be imprisoned... He hurried over to Dragonsbane. "Quickly! Can you use your mind-magics to contact the other players?" Dragonsbane nodded, and Thaumaturge explained the message that he wanted sent.

Thauamturge ran towards BobII, casted Flight, and shot up to the level of BobII's eyes. "I can defeat you!" He taunted. "I know how to circumvent your power!"
BobII swatted at the annoyance, but Thaumaturge evaded the hand easily, darting back. Enraged, BobII advanced on the flying mage, but still Thaumaturge retreated.

Thauamturge looked down. Everything was in place. "NOW!" he called out. Dragonsbane began to chant, and soon everyone had picked up the refrain. BobII looked around, to find that he had been lured into a circle of his foes, and as they chanted, magic began to swirl within the circle. BobII tried to break through, but it was too late, the circle was complete, and neither he nor Thaumaturge would be leaving the circle until the spell was complete. Dragonsbane began a second chant while the others continued the first, and the fabric of reality began to tear around the massive form of BobII. The air rippled and shimmered, light and dark flaring in the rent. Finally Dragonsbane shouted a single Word of Command, and the rent opened fully, BobII hurtling through, carried by the inter-planar pressures. The rent closed behind him, sealing shut, locking BobII between worlds, neither here nor there, able to affect nothing.

Thaumaturge floated in the inter-planar gulf. No sight, no sound, no touch, no smell reached his senses. And yet... there was a flickering in the depths, as CheshireThief entered using the Plot Device. He took hold of Thaumaturge, activated the device, and the pair reappeared on the Calvinball field, where Thaumaturge promptly collapsed.

*following Thaumaturge's ending, concerning what happened to Dragonsbane*

Dragonsbane shrugged, "If he comes back, we'll be ready for him..." sheathing his katana, he disappeared.

Cheshire Thief returned to his "recreations" with the Amazons, and Thaumaturge was swiftly revived...the other Calvinballers all prepared for the next game, or just did whatever, as usual.

In a floating castle somewhere on another plane, a fortress in the midst of a vast emptiness, the air flickered. A familiar, black-eyed archmage reappeared behind his desk in a lavishly appointed room, walls lined with bookshelves, and thick carpets covering the floor. Sitting back in his comfortable chair, Dragonsbane laughed...even as he drew the Calvinball from his pocket.

"No one can keep you for long, my troublesome little friend...so I might as well end this on my terms." he smiled, opening a portal to some random plane...and tossing it through. Looking down at a crystal orb on his desk, suspended in a runesilver frame, the archwizard watched the writhing, ghostly form trapped within, "BobII...you and I have much to discuss..." he grinned, the look on his face as cruel as an Archdevil, "very much to discuss..."

((OOC: My rather long ending.))

Between CTs jamming, and the attacks of the amazons, BobII was properly distracted.

Meanwhile, Toastburner and the other calvinballers were holding off the final charge of the trolls, coming to aid their master. While powerful, they were nothing to calvinballers. Toastburner hadn't realized how far he had come until he used the sycthe to cut them down like wheat. Jadarendir fought with a revengence. DoD used his powers to raise the trolls as they were slain, adding to the numbers of the calvinballer armies even as BobII's armies went down. The minirendir, at the return of their master, fought like dragons.

Still, they were an endless tide. Only the best warriors of each of the armies were left, and they formed a protective inner barrier around Dragonsbane. Any troll that got past the calvinballers had to deal with the best the minirendir, dragoons, undead, robots, and dragons had to offer.

Finally, Dragonsbane chanting came to a climax. Shouting the final words of the spell, Dragonsbane unleashed his blast, a soul-scourging blaze that burned away spirit as well as flesh. Toastburner watched as the azure beam shot towards BobII, turning away only long enough to decapiate a troll charged him.

BobII reached out his hand, and the attack struck it.

The flash was blinding, even to Toastburner and his optic filter. The world became white. Toastburner heard the trolls cry out in pain, their eyes not used to such brilliance.

The light faded...to reveal BobII still standing, his arm slowly regenerating.

Dragonsbane fell to his knees, both from exhaustion and shock. "It didn't work..." he mummered in awe.

Toastburner didn't have time to think about it. The trolls, seeing their master still standing, redoubled their attack. BobII began an attack of his own, killing amazons by the dozen. Despite the best efforts of the calvinballers, trolls slowly began to pass them. Too many. The battered warriors of the armies couldn't hold them all off. They sped towards Dragonsbane.

Suddenly, the armies of the allies expanded. Through the power of the Plot Device, all the warriors who had plegded themselves to the fall of BobII appeared. Argent Lord and his silver dragon riders. SAAM and his army of SAAMs. Saiyaman and his dragons. Highonpawns and his forces. All suddenly appeared, and increased the power of the allied army tenfold. The trolls, suddenly overwhelmed, tried to fall back, but ran into the calvinballers. They were dispatched quickly.

The minor battle in hand, the calvinballers gathered. Toastburner called over all his FLB drones to by time by distracting BobII...who must be getting really tired of being distracted by now.

"The soul burn didn't work." Dragonsbane stated. "BobII's body is to strong, I couldn't reach his soul."

Toastburner thought about the problem for a second.

"Could you cast another?" Toastburner asked softly.

Dragonsbane noddedly slowly. "Yes. I won't have anything left after, however."

Toastburner nodded slightly, as if processing the information. "Would the Soul Burn work if it hit his soul directly?"

The others looked surprised. Toastburner held up the reaper. "With this, I can create a rift to anywhere. Using the Plot Device, we should be able to make it work."

Jadarendir nodded. "It could work. If we can enter BobII soul, deliver the blast, we could end this once for all."

Dragonsbane nodded. "Right. Jadarendir, Toastburner, Thaumaturge, ChesireThief, and myself will go. The rest of you will rally the armies and keep BobII occupied."

They all agreed, as the others left, CT attached the Plot Device to the reaper. "Okay, that should do it."

Toastburner swung the reaper, and the rift appeared.

They entered.

Oddly enough, BobII soul looked like a city. Populated with BobII clones. The calvinballers had appeared in the middle of Arhra's battle. The Bobs attacked. Again, the others formed a line around Dragonsbane to protect him as he prepared the Soul Burn.

"We'll need to leave before the spell is cast." Dragonsbane said. "If we stay to long, we'll die when his soul ceases to exist. So, I'll have to make it a Delayed Soul Burn. Hopefully, it should work."

"If it doesn't?" ChesireThief asked.

"Then we'll have fused the calvinball with BobII...making him even more powerful. God-like." Dragonsbane said.

"Then it better work." Jadarendir said.

Dragonsbane began to chant. The Bobs, seemingly to sense the purpose of this invasion, began to attack more fiercely. Still, they couldn't break past the calvinballers. Toastburner sliced them with the reaver. Jada maimed them with his sword. Thaumaturge destroyed them with magic. ChesireThief blew them away with powerful wails on his guitar. Arhra continued his kung-fu moves.

Finally, Dragonsbane yelled. "It's done! We have to get out now."

With that, he teleported. Those who could teleport themselves followed. Toastburner created a rift for those who couldn't. All escaped.

Suddenly with foes, the Bob clones walked over to the ball. They had seen the ball before, threads and threads ago, but...it was changed somewho.

They didn't remember a countdown reflecting inside the ball.

3...2...1...


To those outside, it seemed as though BobII froze. Mid swing, he stopped, his mouth hanging open in shock. Then, he groaned in pain, unimagable pain, as the blast burned away his soul from the inside out. Be began to contort. His torso sunk inward, followed by the rest of his body, as if being sucked down a hole. With a finally roar of fury and pain, BobII disappeared.

The calvinball fell to the ground, shining blue in the darkness.

Cheers erupted from the surviving alliance troops. With the defeat of BobII, his forces fled.

The party went into the night. Minirendir shared tales of battle with Drow. Dragoons attempted to flirt with amazons, but failed miserably. Spiders did a conga line with robots.

Outside the camp, the calvinballers stood around the ball.

"So...what now?" Toastburner asked.

"You ask that alot, you know." ChesireThief said.

"The Soul Burn left BobII empty, creating a vaccuum effect. The calvinball amplied that effect, sucking in BobII body and whatever was left of his soul." Dragonsbane said.

"So...is he gone for good?" Druid of the Dead asked.

"I don't know." Dragonsbane said. "What was left of him is sealed inside the ball. As long as calvinball exists...BobII should not be a threat."

Toastburner looked around the gathering. He sighed as he realized when next they met, they would be foes battling for the ball.

"So...who wants to win?" Toastburner asked.

"I think we'll call this one a draw." Jadarendir said. He stuck his hand out, over the ball. One by one, the other calvinballers added their hands, and, as one, they claimed the ball, which vanished.

Dragonsbane sighed. "If anyone claims I ever did something that cheesey, I'll deny it."

"Me, too." Thaumaturge said. "Can't be an evil overlord and be cheesey at the same time."

Jadarendir rolled his eyes. Toastburner laughed.

"Well, we still have a while until the next game." ChesireThief said. "Might as well enjoy the party until then, right?"

Everyone nodded, and began to walk back to party, until the next game begun.

The End

OOC: My ending. Here goes.

IC:

Jada had re-emerged and with the mighty Masamune in hand, nobody could stop them. BobII grinned and stared at the challenge. The leaders, Jada, TD, DB, CT, TB, Thaumaturge and Athra stood at the front on the line, staring at BobII. BobII rose into the air and dark energy swiftly gathered into him, expanding his size, into the clouds. His army, slowly dissipated into him, feeding his ever growing power.
The TD army was about to unleash their Thunder-doken, but quickly recoiled.
"I'll pose as a distraction as the rest of you purge the world of this being!" TD yelled. The other nodded.
TD rose up and summoned all his strength and the rest of the TD's rose as well. TD grew with the others power and towered up into the clouds to match BobII.
Using TB different machines, he quickly constructed a sword to match BobII. And then the fight began.
TD lashed against BobII, giving the rest time to act. Jada, DB and Thaumaturge rose into the air, flying towards BobII's abdomen. CT quickly pulled out his plot device and got potions and materials to feed the others the power they needed.
TB and Athra assembled their armies and took on the armies below, to help get rid of BobII's power supply.
DB quickly analyzed BobII and found several weaknesses they could exploit.
"HURRY!" TD boomed.
BobII was not going down easily.
Jada and Thaumaturge quickly used Masamune's power to it's fullest extent. While Thaaymaturge summoned it's inert power, Jada struck repeatedly at BobII, draining power of the evil power.
"NOOOOOO!!!!" was all that BobII could cry.
BobII reversed back to his normal size, awaiting the calvinballers back down below.
They lashed upon his already torn body, and winced with every strike.
TD lumbered over BobII.
"Good-bye, BobII." TD boomed.
TD stepped on BobII and Jada and DB quickly erradicated the remains into mere nothingness.
The battle had finally ended.
The grungy land they were in reverted back into a grassy green field, with a gentle breeze.
An omninous ball floated in the center of the field.
"Race ya for it!" the reverted TD said to Jada.
The game was now on.

End!

Okay, here's mine.

BobII was obliterating the calvinballer's armies. As his mace swung, amazons and zombies flew. The attacks from the calvinballer's were having no visible effect.

Jadarendir charged forward with the masamune. He lept at BobII only to be swatted aside against a nearby rock wall. Jad slumped down as BobII turned to him. BobII raised his mace to strike, but Jadarendir came to at the last second and swung with the masamune severing BobII's wang.

Lines of light began dissecting BobII's massive body and then he exploded. The shockwave knocked everyone off their feet and the army of BobII fell. As the calvinballer's recovered they saw Jadarendir slowly get up.

"He's gone......"

No one was positive as to whether or not BobII was gone for good but they knew he may still pose a threat in the future, and if he did return.......they would be waiting.

OOC: I don't have the patience to read TB's, but I'm sure it's just super.

OOC: Shall we start up the next one?
