Tom Percival has blessed us with another stunning cover for Armageddon Outta Here, and this time it's something extra-special — a wraparound masterpiece...
We're going to release this as a poster for the bookstores, and we're planning on making it available to you guys too — hopefully along with all the other posters. I'll keep you, ahem, posted...
Heheheheheheh.
Oh, and as for who exactly everyone IS on that cover... you'll just have to read the stories to find out.

*Is blown back by Zaffy explosion*
Ow x-x
*mutters to self* Bored bored boredboredbored...
*lays head in hands
You bored people do realise that instead of just sitting around, you could start interacting with each other? :P
You could roleplay, blogfight or just start a conversation. :)
Because it seems to me that there's about three of you on here doing nothing.
#ChaseForBookNine
Fuck it. *walks outside, climbs up to the roof and shoots everyone with lances*
*generally loiters around*
Boreeeeeeeeeeed.
*kicks at a random stone*
Tick tock tock tick tick. Tick tock tock tick tick.
B o r e d. I swear at this point I'd settle for being beat up just to entertain myself.
*kicks a tree gently*
Boooooooored.
*looks up just in time to get nailed in the shoulder by a lance*
ASILHAWJDASIHDAWDASKDHAJB
SNOFABEATCH OW!
*Fires a cannonball of darkness back with his good arm*
*jumps off the roof to avoid it*
*is hit by the lance*
Ow!
*looks at her arm*
*glares at it*
*looks over at Chi on the roof*
*starts running that way*
**by the roof
*A group of five clones rise up around Chio wielding swords and spears. They begin to slash and stab viciously from all angles*
*watches
*joins the clones only a little further away*
*uses her own sword to swim at Chi*
*laughs and grins*
**swing
God my spelling it terrible!
*makes a spike sphere around her and the clones disappear*
*jumps back in time to avoid the spikes*
*advances in reverse to stand beside Blake*
*still has a sword in her hand*
*Appears inside the sphere and punches Chio in the face, knocking her to the ground*
That one's for my arm...
*Darkness grabs her ankles an wrists, holding her to the ground*
((By "appear" I mean I walked out of a shadow inside it of course, I can't just appear where I like sadly))
*look at the spot Blake was stood in before*
*moves closer to the spike sphere*
*stars about a meter away and watches*
**stands. Not stars.
You have a good swing, Husband-to-be.
*wipes the blood off of her face*
*sends spikes inwards, piercing his back, arms and neck and the shadows release*
*coughs up blood and slides off the spikes to his knees*
Chio... careful...
*Eyes flash pure black*
What? you punched me! I think you broke my nose *wiggles it and winces* Yep.
*stands on the outside watching*
Chi remember hurt him and Erebus says hello... its not as simple as it is with me..
*mutters* not that simple with me to some extent but still..
*stands and watches stood a little closer to the ice*
*stands up, covers her fists with ice and punches him in the jaw*
*Shadows swirl around my wounds, they begin to heal rapidly and I swipe the darkness away*
I don't need your help... *Seemingly talking to myself*
*Stands up as a massive explosion of shadows blows the sphere apart*
*is blown backwards from the shadow bomb*
*lands near a tree cut in numerous places from the shattered ice*
*decides sitting and watching is best for a while*
*Stumbles forward to where Chio fell, one eye normal and the other pitch-black*
Shall we continue..? *chuckles slightly hysterically*
*lands painfully on her back and rolls down towards the forest, stopping before a tree with multiple slashes everywhere*
*covers her wounds with a thin layer of ice until they heal*
*Forms a blade of impossible length around his hand and slices the forest apart just above head level*
Come out, come out wherever you are...
So dynamite
*decides she's not safe where she is*
*runs away a bit pass in Chi*
*climbs a tree and watches from there instead*
I-I'm not hiding.
*slowly stands up and comes out of the tree line holding her ribs*
Good, good. That'd be no fun...
*Blurs into a shadow, stopping just in front of Chio and punching her hard in the gut with a hand covered in darkness, sending her flying back the way she came crashing through tree stumps*
Looks like I have too keep chasing after you though eh?
*coughs up blood and ties to get her breath back*
it seems so. But that isn't my fault.
I guess i'll start trying then shall I?
tries**
*watches thinking about interveining*
*wonder how she'd do that without dying*
*shrugs and perches on the balls of her feet ready to jump and die noisily as a distraction*
Eh..?
*Shakes his head*
It doesn't matter...
*Dashes at her once more, coming out of the blur with his hands covered by shadowy blades read to strike*
Duck.
*Slashes from either side*
((Ready*))
((Hey snow))
((Hello Snow, how're you?))
I am... *shrugs*
*does a backflip, kicking his hands above her so they miss*
Thanks for the warning.
*stands perfectly still, closing her eyes and when she opens them again they're pale blue, almost silver, with snowflakes in the centre*
((Hey snow))
*cocks his head to one side*
Going full goddess against little old me? I'm honored.
*The blades extend into grappling hooks which he fires at her legs, latching on tightly and swinging her into the air before bringing her crashing back to the ground*
*sees Chi do the angry/scary/killer eyes*
*settles back down on her branch*
*grins at the view*
Hmm..they better not kill each other..
*goes back to watching the fight*
*cuts off her legs using her own katanas and lays there on the ground, screaming as she creates new ones out of ice*
*grins and runs at him, speed increased and slides under his legs and slashes them as she does then spins and slices his back*
*Falls to the ground, laughing as darkness pours to and from the wounds, healing them at an inhuman pace*
*Shadows mixed with blood shoot from the cuts on his back, impaling her in the stomach*
*jumps from tree to tree getting closer to them*
*stops a bit away and climbs further down the tree*
*watches them from the middle of the tree*
*starts playing let it go on her phone*
*groans* Why always the stomach. *sends an arrow into Silente's phone then glares at her*
*creates an armour of ice and lunges at him again, spraying water from the centre covering him in water then freezing him*
*cuts off his limbs and stands on his stomach before he can heal*
Hey peoples! How are you guys?
((Hey I'm fine you?))
*looks at her dead phone*
Jeez okay was just trying to encourage you.
*slumps back against the trunk*
*whistles let it go instead of using her phone*
*A mixture of blood and darkness creates new limbs as he screams in pain*
*The newly created appendages writher and squirm in the ice, cracking it and threatening to shatter the restraint completely*
*Darkness begins creeping into his other eye*
((I'm doing great Amethyst, just sparring my Fiancé))
I'm good! ...What's going on?
Ah...okay...
((Well I've seen better days, having my limbs cut off is never fun. Other than that I'm quite alright though. How're you?))
((Lovers quarrel))
Hia Amy
*whispers to Silente* Did something happen between them or are they just fighting for fun?
Hey Snow!
*pokes*
*sends water into the air and it comes down as icicles, pinning him down by his clothes and back*
((They were bored. So they started fighting and I started watching. And playing let it go. Then she broke my phone. So I'm having to improvise on playing it))
*continues whistling*
*finished let it go*
*switches to frozen heart*
*carries on watching and whistling*
*pokes Snow*
*Screams again as the shards of ice pierce his back, then sighs as if in relief and rises into the air right off the icicles*
*Turns around slowly to reveal both eyes completely black*
Erebus: Hello weaklings, it's been far too long.
*whistles loudly* *sound of hooves could be heard*
Shit...
*calls quietly*
Onzwa!
*sees him flying towards me*
*runs and jumps off the tree landing on Onzwa's back*
*is lifted into the air near Erebus*
*Lorcan runs his hands through his silver hair. Feeling that angry always takes so much out of him.
He spots something on the ground. A trail of blotchy silver spots. He didn't make them. He kneels down and dips his finger into some of the spots. It's a lot more liquidy than his silver.*
*His image blurs then disappears for a moment, blurring back into focus in front of Silente*
*Swats the shadowy Pegasus across the face, sending it tumbling to the ground hard*
Erebus: Please, I'll deal with you later.
*Turns back to Chio as a wall of solid shadows rises up behind him*
*tunnels down to the ground with Onzwa*
*jumps from him before he hits the ground*
Onzwa!
*runs over to him and checks he's okay*
*turns and glares as Erebus slowly approaching him*
*Zypherain appears next to me* *clicks fingers and feeds it a fireball* *climbs onto her*
Sorry. Dad turned the internet off and I had to wait for him to leave so I could turn it back on.
Hello Emerald!
Welcome back Snow.
((Hey em. Wb snow))
c:
I always seem to have incredible timming in these situations.
Annnnd... I have to go. Damn school. BYE!!
Now now, this isn't fair, keeping me locked in an arena of shadows? That puts me at a disadvantage, my love.
((Bye snow! Enjoy hell! Aka school!))
Bye Snow!
Chione, at this point, I don't know if he cares...
((He really doesn't care if your at a disadvantage right now. He's only bother about violence and pain.))
Erebus: "He" is no longer around. Well, I suppose he is but Blake has taken the back seat for now.
*Becomes a shadow and disappears into the wall*
*Large spikes impale Chio from every direction*
*flies to Silente and gets off Zyph* Are you guys okay?
Me and Onzwa are fine. Its Chi I'm worried about. We can't use our nightmares, their made of shadows and so Erebus can control them however..
*looks at the wall*
*wonders how high she can jump*
You think you can get over that?
hm... I think I can! *uses air to push myself up and lands on wall*
*Silente and Amethyst's shadows silently rise up behind them, becoming three dimensional*
*The shadow clones lunge at their originals, attacking with copied powers*
*the armour protects her but shatters*
As I said, I'm at a disadvantage.
And my Fiancé can still hear me But, don't you love me also, Erebus? we're family!
((Same powers? Does that mean it can change...well that's just dandy))
*spins and meets her shadow head on*
*tackles it to the ground and starts grappling with it*
*pulls one of her daggers free and continues grappling cutting it once or twice*
Erebus: Love? What a useless emotion.
*Seemingly teleports in front of her and grabs her by the neck*
Erebus: I find that rage and bloodlust are far more fun
*kicks clone off wall and jumps off to land on other side*
Well, I think I'll just sit back and watch the three of you kill each other. Though, for the record, I did the black eyes thing before it was cool.
Hey Alastair! *waves*
Oh, Amethyst, are you fighting too? How lovely.
...I think Erebus might head for Alastair...I mean, Blake had always wanted to fight him right?
Actually, I'm not fighting...I'm running
((Seriously I thought you were gone! I though nic had won. Great another problem. *rolls her eyes* msd))
*moves quickly and feints to the right*
*stabs her shadow in the heart*
*smashes its head into the ground*
*turns and leaps at Alastair*
Don't attack Alastair! Don't get him involved! Not yet! Handle Bla...Erebus first!
Erebus: Alastair, how good to see you here.
*Rises out of his shadow*
Erebus: What a perfect chance to kill you.
*Lorcan chanced smelling the silver his fingers were covered in. He recoiled back as the smell hit his nose, it was a very bitter lemon smell. So strong.
He got up and watched as the trail lead into the woods. Who the hell made this?*
((Or I could let them beat each other up..))
*shrugs* I can't say that'd be a good idea on his part- I stole another name just two days ago, and I normally don't take them in quick succession, but Eberus is tempting.
*smirks*
Erebus: By all means try.
((Urg I gotta go my tablets next to death. Amethyst, make sure Blake isn't killed/absorbed/doesnt have his name stolen. And don't get killed yourself!))
*punches Alastair in the face*
*runs off into the woods*
*and out of the coming thread*
*poof and she's gone*
(Bye Silente! But I kinda have to go too... Bye guys! I'll be back though!)
((In that case. Er...well..
BLAKE DO NOT GET YOUR NAME STOLEN MISTER YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED IN JUNE AND YOU CAN NOT DO THAT IF YOU ARE DEAD AND ALSO IF YOU DO THAT TO CHI THEN I WILL MAKE SURE YOU ARE DOUBLE DEAD!
*poofs away again*))
*turns to face him, smirking* Try.
((Oh no, that pathetic excuse for a name could never win anything. I released him for a spell, he got clever and tried to lock me out, and nearly killed himself doing it. But, as ususual, he failed at that as well.))
*eyes turn completely black as he stares directly at the flow if magic inside Eberus* I could suppress you, trap you, shift you- I could change you so that you're infected by your own magic, if I wanted. What should I do first?
Erebus: You should stop talking
*Raises a hand and twists it ever so slightly, Alastair's head begins to turn against his will, almost to the point of breaking*
Looks like now is the wrong time to try and do anything.
I'll be going now.
((Are you doing something physical, or something with my soul? I'll have you know that I can manipulate those as well. And shadows. And quite a few other things, as well. Also, I'm assuming you don't want me to steal your name in the roleplay- in which case, since Aretha is typing for me, and as much as I despise her she has the power to stop, I will have to refrain from doing so. Otherwise, if I steal your name, there will be no way for you to fight it. It'd be over in seconds.))
*She peeks her head in*
*Smirks deviously, then laughs*
*She sets up a camera and begins to record*
*Waves*
(OI)
(NO STEALING NAMES YOU SONOFABITCH)
((It's not as though you can stop me.))
(Would you like to bet?)
((I'm sorry, Em... *hugs*))
#ChaseForBook9
((The magic is manipulating your soul, using it as kind of an anchor for a telekinesis-ish ability. And actually I was counting on you doing the name-stealy thing, It's gonna be a big reveal in Blake's story. Before that does the person who's name is being stolen have to know the name?))
((Perhaps I would. You're welcome to try.))
(I can't right now, sorry.)
((No, knowing the name isn't necessary. But if I do steal your name, you'll die, and there will be no way for you to get your name back. You can be revived, but you'll only have part of your soul left, and only a minuscule fraction of your magic. I'll have the rest. As long as you understand that, I'm more than willing to take it.))
*looks around to see the shadow arena fade*
*watches Erebus and Alastair*
Blake...please don't die...
((Gotta delete that comment cause waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much info. No stealy-namey okay? Thanks.))
Hey! I'm back!
Alastair....go shove it
((*sighs* Fine.))
*hears Chione* Oh, and she's still trying to talk to Blake. How will you respond to that, Eberus? *vanishes, grinning*
*takes out a music system and speakers*
*starts playing dramatic music in background*
*Sighs*
Erebus: I know you're still here Alastair. I will respond to that by ignoring her, Blake is throwing quite the fit though.
*Probes around for Alastair's soul*
Erebus: Zafira I suggest you take your own advice...
*tunes volume up and down to fit with action*
(or no action in some cases)
... *turns off music*
((You won't find me. You've effectively bored me, so I've left.))
...Bye Alastair? Are you going now?
((Bored as his neck was being broken, tough crowd))
*creates wings and flies up beside Erebus*
...Chione... *looks at Erebus and Chione* be careful.
I know Amethyst... *flies in front of him*
*slowly inches toward them*
(Blake? You still there?)
((Bored because you don't think. Honestly.))
*Finds nothing*
Erebus: Seems he ran off. Oh well, back to what I was doing before
*Becomes a shadow and dashes around at unimaginable speeds, rounding up Zaf, Chio, and Amethyst in a massive cage of nigh-invincible darkness*
Erebus: Time for some fun people. You'll all be fighting each other!
*Their shadows rise up and take fighting positiosn, Zaf's copy on Chio, Amethyst's on Zaf, and Chio's on Zaf*
...seriously?
*forms a sphere of water and angles it at sun so light spills over cage*
*shadows disappear*
((Chio's on Amethyst*, my bad))
(Too bad)
*The light simply lessens the dark of the shadows, they remain standing as if made from solid stone*
Erebus: Tut tut Amethyst, that would be too easy. If nobody else has anything to say let's begin.
*The clones attack, using copied abilities and moves*
((Alastair if I didn't think it would be rather difficult to do much of anything now wouldn't it?))
*sends a wave over Zaf's clone then freezes it*
*cuts it into pieces with her katana*
Alastair stop
((Guys, Blake and I decided on the 4th of June for our Wedding Day ^.^))
*scowls*
*mutters* I think Erebus likes seeing others fight but can't seem to be able to fight by himself... funny
*forms an air shield around me*
*The shadow of the clone reforms behind Chio, it touches her arms and the become solid stone*
Erebus: I keep forgetting she has that trick, not the re-forming of course but that stone-touch-thing. Zafira what exactly do you call that?
(Interesting time to announce it!)
*Frowns then passes through the bars of the cage, floating up to Amethyst and staring her down*
Erebus: Do not mistake my joy at seeing you squirm as cowardness, it would be to easy if I were to battle you myself.
*Sinks into his shadow and rises outside the cage once more*
*starts singing* Silente's gonna kill you, Silente's gonna kill you... *pauses* *whistles*
((Just happened so why not, though yeah this is a strange situation xD))
((isn't it just? xD))
*can't move her arms*
*creates water over them and then freezes it so the ice expands and her arms break off*
*creates new ones*
*starts signing Let It Go*
Earth? *touches Erebus*
*singing
*Zaf's clone dashes up to Chio, a deadly blast of flame coming from its hands which begins to Melt Chio*
*Erebus glances at the scene and the clone lowers its hands, the fire stopping*
Erebus: Blake would never let me hear the end of it if you died, so you'll have to settle for extreme pain
*The clone runs up and breaks her half-melted limbs off*
*The other two continue their assault*
((Zaffy you're in a cage which I'm on the other side off o-o))
((of*))
(Isn't Erebus and Blake the same person, essentially? SO that means Erebus should have some kind of feeling for Chione)
((Hence, not letting her die.))
(-_- that's not really what I meant...)
(Wait why am I in a cage?! I dont know why you shoved me in a cage my magic isnt bound
(See, what I was trying to say is that Erebus is not killing Chione because of Blake, yet Blake is essentially not in control so why would he even care what Blake might do? What he is doing to Chione should be for himself, right?)
((Erebus is kinda like Alastair, he just wants to watch the world burn and people squirm. His love of showing off his power is a bit stronger than any of Blake's feelings he has for Chio))
(wait...have you read LSODM yet?)
*screams and tears run down her face*
*sings through the pain* It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do...
*collapses*
Hey baby...I think I wanna marry you.
(ah, never mind.)
((Everyone is in a cage, big 'ol deathmatch sorta thing. Plus if you can get out kudos, it was just there as an arena sort of thing))
*goes rigid as he hears Chio singing*
Erebus: Stop it...
*doubles over*
Erebus: Damnit, stop fighting me... this is what you love to see, everyone at your mercy... Why do you not let me make them afraid?!
*Darkness swirls around Erebus and the clones disappear*
*rushes toward Chione* Chione!
*looks petrified*
Zafira! Can you help heal her?
I...can't heal by myself like the others can...all I can do is cover my wounds with ice until they heal naturally or...if someone with magic heals them...
*cries out and tries to ignore the pain*
*Massive blasts of shadow shoot from Erebus, creating craters where they land*
Erebus: NO! This is MY body now, you're just the old consciousness... you and that name... get... get out...
*collapses in a huge explosion of shadow and blood, Blake lays in the center of the destruction, unconscious and scarred all over*
*touches symbol on my hand and places it on Chione* *helps to shut off her pain*
((Well considering I'm out cold this'd be a good time to go have dinner, be back soon everyone!))
Move I can heal. *goes over to Chi* It'll be okay
*walks over to Blake* *sighs*
*shivers as the pain goes away and just lays there on her back*
*looks over to the place where the explosion went off* B-blake... H-eal him first... I won't die of blood loss because of the ice...he will...
*yells back to Chione* Chione, what do you want me to do with him?
He's only scarred...he'll be fine...
*shakes head* He seriously doesn't deserve someone like you...
G-good... *the tears in her eyes still run down her face even though she isn't in any physical pain*
Amethyst...you know that wasn't him. Erebus is a dick.
Should we bring you guys back to your house? You can rest there?
That would be nice...if you could, I don't want to strain you guys too much if you can't manage just take him.
Chi. Breath. Look it isn't bad, you know Javier was turned to dust in front of me? And I was taken captive by Alastair and Javier was powerless to stop, and twice I was tortured by Niccolò and Javier found me half dead the first time and he watced me die over and over the second time...this isn't that bad
I know that wasn't him...but... he should learn to control Erebus more.
