Arc 8 pt1 The Return to Traveling

Eva- During her fight with Rook during the Battle at the End, Eva sensed a similarity in their respective powers and madness. Between the combined powers of Jackie Sun, Stealth, and Eva the mad god Rook is badly injured and manages to escape  when his master falls. Eva becomes obsessed with the idea of trying to find him again, and after the battle tracks him relentlessly through the multiverse. Eventually she finds him in a pocket dimension trying to slowly recover.  from his injuries. They battle alone, and after a brutal magical showdown Eva kills him. The dying gods soul collapses in on itself and manifests itself as the godblade, a blade housed in an ornate cane, which doubles as a shortened staff. Eva absorbed the remaining magical power from Rook's body, and has become a magical leviathan, wielding power unobtainable to a normal mortal spellcaster. Killing Rook has also provided her mental stability and cured her of her madness.
-The godblade- When drawn from its sheathe, the blade causes the air to shimmer and crackle with magical power. The sheathe itself releases a torrent of magical shadows which gives Eva even more power to work with. Can use the power of the blade and sheathe together to summon the Fell Storm, a magical conflagration which she  is immune to and can control. Can wipe out entire cities if she so chooses.


Hernan- Seeing his former protegee at the Battle at the End, leaves Hernan with feelings of regret at ever having taken Grendal into his trust. Hernan and his friend Levi set out to find Grendal and give Hernan closure.Levi urges Hernan to seek to put his past behind him and not to seek vengeance for being betrayed. Hernan considers Levi's words and weighs his options as he hunts Grendal. Grendal makes no effort to hide, and fights the two of them in a heavily populated city. After a brutal and long battle, Hernan manages to cripple Grendal physically, but holds back from actually killing him. Grendal is then imprisoned by Levi and Hernan  in a pocket world he can survive in, but can never fully heal or harm others. Levi and Hernan part ways and Hernan spends time searching for inner peace. Through a great deal of mental and spiritual discipline, as well as a litle magic, Hernan can access a state of being called "Atlas".
- Atlas- The Atlas state allows Hernan to maximize his physical strength, durability and seismic abilities, and lets him draw strength from the earth under his feet. Can charge up seismic power to unleash a immensely powerful tackle that destroys nearly anything it hits. Trades his fire powers for being able to generate waves of sheer raw force.


Bud- After the Battle at the End Bud is finally reunited with his love, Angel and the two depart to an idyllic planet to spend time together. They find that despite spending so much time apart they still have strong feelings for each other. All is not well on the planet however, as an ancient being, taking the form of a massive dragon, chooses that time to attack the city where Bud and Angel happen to be in. The two spearhead the cities' resistance against the creature. Eventually Bud manages to land the killing blow in his beast form and is inadvertently bathed in the creatures blood. The dragon's blood infuses Bud with the ability to take on a draconic form with new abilities specific to it.
-Dragon Form- Can take to the skies on draconian wings and generate gale force winds if he so chooses. Has the highest regenerative powers in this form as well as the ability to fire the Dragon Beam, a powerful blast of fire and magic that burns with an unnatural heat. Has incredible range.


Roger- Exhausted after channeling godlike power through his body into a galactic shaping event, Roger goes to a largely uninhabited world. Roger wiles away the time by living primitively and not using any of his powers. His convalescence is broken when he finds himself under attack by a sect of cybernetic soldier from the Six's home planet. After Roger and Cyreen had opened a portal and led everyone with powers out of the world, the Earth fell into a period of strife and war until a group finally came to power calling itself the "Necare Dei" who capitalized on the world's hatred for the Six, and somehow sent soldiers across dimensions to attack the Six wherever they were found. Roger hunts down and kills his pursuers without any of his usual weapons by wielding a technique called the Timespike Drill.
-Timespike Drill- Roger creates a spike of time energy and stabs an opponent, which recharges his own energy reserves. At maximum energy , Roger creates a gigantic spiral drill which he can use to break through nearly anyone or anything. Conversely, can use the energy from the timespikes to channel energy into his guns to temporarily gain infinite ammo.


Cyreen- At the Battle at the End, Cyreen observes both Golgothor and X=otowa, whom she sees as the pinnacle of robotic life and makes her question if maybe she should try and regain a portion of her lost humanity. The idea of a synthesis had not seriously occurred to her before, but now she wondered what the possible potential of synthesis would be. To that end she traversed galaxies filled with advanced AIs and robotic lifeforms searching for a possible answer to her dilemma. Eventually she enlists the help of  occasional Traveler Leumas Nitram who leads her to a world seemingly devoid of life. Nitram leads her to a remote grotto which reveals a hiden path leading to an underground city of synthezoids whom he has had prior run ins with. Cyreen is introduced and after some formality learns and undergoes the synth process.
-Synthesis Processors- When she turns the processors on, has enhanced empathy, hardening if her exterior, and energy reflection powers. Can also move slightly more fluidly in her synth state. Can create a pair of nanolances to use as weapons or to charge up a nano particle beam which at full charge hits with deteriorating force. 


 Randal-Due to their similar powers and laid back attitudes, Randal and the Traveler Lupa both wind up becoming friends, and after the Battle at the End Lupa invites Randal to her home planet. The two enjoy their holiday in the magical world and eventually come across a small isolated village in the north under attack by ice golems. Lupa and Randal help defend the village, and together they destroy all of the creatures. The village holds a celebration in their honor for saving them and the two settle down for a good time. Suddenly a dark cyromancer appears in their midst and declares himself the sender of the golems as punishment for the villages apparent transgressions against himself. Amid his ravings he declares he will slay all inside the village in three days time. Before he can leave Randal challanges him to a one on one fight, which the cyromancer agrees to. They battle the next day and amidst a dazzling display of skill and magic, Randal finally manages to stab the cyromancer through the heart. The cyromancer turns to snow and melts away, leaving only his amulet of power behind, the Iceheart.
-The Iceheart-Magical energy imbues Randal from the amulet, and his frost and freezing abilities are maximized, while losing all other elemental powers. Gains speed similar to what Lupa possesses, partially by absorbing the magic blade he carries ( the blade becomes tattooed on his back while the amulet is active). In this form, can channel cold into his fist to throw the Absolute Zero Punch.
