Hey Top what did you think of the music or didn't you try it? The first one is probably not the type that'll show up much, I just used it because in another place I have it cited as Matt's theme song. And he's the one that was fighting. So yeah. The second one was supposed to be there for the sake of plain techno, stumbled on it earlier that day and I was like eh what the heck. The last one, however, sounds like the kind I'll use most often: it has that video game feel but doesn't sound quite the same as the songs other people might use.

Part 3-3: Them’s Fightin’ Words!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PMJdDZMhoQ&feature=related
Suddenly, the group with Matt and Lynn and such people like that heard a strange noise. I mean, it was strange to those of them who hadn’t heard of an explosion. Wait this is a magic world, everybody knows about explosions. So they heard an explosion.
Matt raced towards it and stopped in shock–the culprit resembled him greatly. Down to the royal clothes, which were admittedly of much finer quality than Matt’s.
“Father,” growled the boy. “Did you not die?”
Matt took a step back. “Whoa, what are you talking about?”
Oops. I forgot to somehow tell them that 20 years passed. Ikra! Come help!
And so the wizard did it.
“Perhaps in these 20 years,” Matt said, “Something has happened to that effect...”
The boy sighed. “My name is–“ Wait, I didn’t come up with a name for the prince. I should use a name that I already used for a really different character, just as a joke. Like Frob. Nah, that’s not a very good name for the prince of the ultimate empire! Time to break out the generator then.
Klfj;s lsakdjf;as eouirypwea powureuerwpo roipweu ewrpiouqr eoriuwqpiu rioulkfjadn,m.zn riouwejha.vnm, ohfpdup hxczkjlh oirulkvcjz.l/kje,.rmnwropi xcizou ;lxkzcj vzxuiocj;lvcknm,.
Admittedly, I went a little overboard with my options. Now to start fine-tuning. I’ll take you through my process. Eouir. Has too many vowels and sort of sounds like Eroa. Wureuer. That sounds too much like warrior and also has too many vowels in one spot. Roipweu? It could use a bit of improvement, but it’s an option. Rioulk. No, it sounds too much like a certain Pokemon’s name. Irulk. Sounds messed up. Cizou? Sounds too French.
So from Roipweu, we cut down some letters. Ripwu? No, sounds really funny. Ropu? No. Too close to rope. Rupe? No. Terrible sound. Ripu? It separates to Rip u. As in I’ll Rip u apart. Wait. Not bad. No. Not going to happen. Scrap the P, then. Rowu? A little odd to pronounce. Rowe? Hard to tell how I should pronounce it at all. Riwu? Nah. Riwe. Nah. Time to slap random other letters in there. Starting from Z as usual. Rizu Riyu Rixu Riwu HEY THAT’S THE Rivu Riuu Ritu I’M NOT GOING THROUGH ALL THAT let’s go with Rotu.
Sorry that took so long. I needed more word count fast plus I actually thought through it. It took longer to decide, mind you, but now you know. This happens with a lot of the names that I use and it normally doesn’t take so long, because something snaps into thought when I don’t have to put it all in there. So that’s my process.
So, what he said was, “My name is Rotu,” although it’s stupid for him to introduce himself to his own father. Ikra! Poof. “And I’ve defeated you once, father. So I’ll do it again.”
“Why?” Matt asked. I almost called him Tig for a second there. :O yeah you read that right. Anyway so Matt continued, “What could have brought, apparently, my son to...?”
“You betrayed everyone, even yourself. Rather than fight for a cause in this conflict, you took a completely different path. And now we’re all suffering for it. But I refuse to let that be the legacy of the Tigarn family line! Have at thee!”

BATTLES IN TWO LOCATIONS! BATTLE THEME:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LShnlDfam84

The librarian girl pulled out the power source, and with a shimmering glow, transformed into a girl with a vaguely familiar face and assassin’s garb. “You will all die at the hands of the great Jupiter!” She moved with speed beyond reason, giving me only the slightest instant to save my hide though she still slashed up my arm, the suit abandoned for uselessness.
“That’s quite impressive,” I rasped, clutching my arm. “What do you even need the suit for?” I was just wondering, really.
“It’s not for me, it’s for a friend of mine. After all, this power source works best to boost a person’s abilities directly! Observe!” She blurred into action, striking me several times before I could even think.

Meanwhile, Matt fenced Rotu with a flurry of attacks, the prince much quicker than Ein had ever been. Matt tried his lightning, but Rotu countered it, creating a huge explosion that launched both of them back.
Mark ran towards Rotu at full speed, but was struck down with ease. Seth, then Anna, Emily as well failed to make any progress. Lynn hesitated, knowing her power would be even weaker against lightning. Matt suddenly jumped at Rotu, but the prince exploded with a power stemming from his deepest core, apparently bolstered by the generations.
His mom must be really powerful too, Matt thought as he fell back on the ground.

Noctus grabbed Jupiter by her neck, kicked off and backflipped away, slamming her down to the ground. She sank into the ground and forced it up at me.
“Fool! You can’t use the power of Earth against me!” I cried. Focusing, I pushed the rock floor back down. Much to my surprise, my intense concentration left it in stalemate, even with my energy rapidly starting to fade.
Soon, I couldn’t hold it any longer, and all of the rocks came at me, absorbing into my being and forcing me to mess with my form. The stones became a rock golem with me at its heart, a big monster that charged forward.
Noctus shook his head. “That’s madness!”
“Madness?” bellowed the golem. “This is SPARTA ROCK!” Okay, it sounded a lot cooler before I said it. Nonetheless, it was a loud enough battle cry to warrant recklessly charging at Jupiter despite the way it actually went against my gut feeling. And I told you, my gut feeling is never wrong. But hey, Sparta Rock is fun. And I had to do it.
As my fist came smashing down, she too was able to absorb the bits, but they remained in her without any sort of unleashing. She passed through my guise to find me inside.
“Wow, that power source is quite something,” I said.
What could I possibly do against it?

Rotu noticed that one of Matt’s companions was still standing, a blue-haired woman. He shot a stream of powerful lightning at her.
Time seemed to slow as she saw it coming.
Is this the end? she thought.
“Hellpyre!” shouted a familiar voice. A large orb of mysterious energy slapped into Rotu, sending him flying back. “Sorry I’m late,” the voice said, coming from a cloaked figure.
Lynn peered closely at him. He reminded her of Seth’s revelation of his true form. Only he looked a lot more like...
It couldn’t be him...
...could it?

The golem crumbled. “Ha!” Jupiter yelled. “You’re getting beat by a girl!”
Mouse jumped in. “Then let’s see what girls can beat!” Several tiny blades whooshed through the air at Jupiter, some cutting her clothes and others whizzing by. She waved her hand, and the blades all lifted away from where they’d been, dancing in the air in front of her.
Mouse clawed at her with the nimblest of moves, but always the tiny knife things were a shield to this pesky girl. Noctus circled around and wrenched her arm nearly out of its socket. The other hand made an explosion that sent Noctus’ mighty weight through the wall.
“Ha! All three of you are... huh?” Jupiter stopped. “Um, listen, I... I gotta go!” she screamed, bolting out of the door. “But I’ll be back to kill you Ein!”
I blinked. “What happened? And how did she know my name?”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTT5TowXd74
Lynn rubbed her eyes in disbelief. “Eibmoz?”
“Yes, Lynn?” he said, turning to her.
“Where have you been?” she asked.
“Dead,” he replied. “But do not worry. Escape this fight. Bring your friends with you.” he started to charge an attack.
She helped some of her friends up and let Matt help the rest. It wasn’t long before the whole group was out. Except that Matt turned back to fight Rotu.
He heard Eibmoz’s voice, but it was much darker now, perhaps even demonic. “You are the one who’s been trying to destroy the very people your cause is sworn to protect. Your folly will be your doom, as well as that of your royal line!”
Matt suddenly remembered something–the part where his bloodline was able to die without an heir, and if it did...
The world... no, the universe...
Matt turned to Eibmoz. “You can’t cut that off! I won’t let you! Rotu, help your father and he will destroy your enemy! I promise!”
Eibmoz cackled. “You fool–you can’t kill me. I’m already dead! Volpit, come out!” I always thought that was another name too much resembling a Pokemon name, but Eibmoz wasn’t my idea, let alone his demon servant. In fact, Eibmoz’s name is zombie backwards.
Rotu walked up to Matt. “If you allow me to, I can wield both your power and mine. It may be enough to destroy this enemy and his servant. If... you do that for me, father, I’ll leave you alone. So, please, allow me to...”
Matt felt himself not only using lightning, but becoming it as well. Rotu focused him into a sword in his left hand. He knew that lefthandedness came from him. In his right hand was a smaller blade, which had the presence of a woman that Matt didn’t recognize.
“Hello,” she said. “Long time no see.”
Matt sighed. He made much the same excuse I had done so long ago. “Sorry, I’ve lost my memory. Who might you be?”
She sighed. “Why, I’m the boy’s mother. I was killed a long time ago, and I’ve been at his side ever since. It is all due to the power of a summoner named Nyroc.”
Eibmoz gasped and stopped the spell he was charging. “Nyroc?! That’s impossible... it’s... 20... has all that really happened in 20 years?!”
The others looked at him quizzically. “Never mind! I have to focus on destroying all of you now! It’ll be so easy now that you’re all in one place!”
Eibmoz drew all of that power into a scythe. He unfolded a pair of wings, even more evil than those worn by some of the angrier sorts of Sils. Floating up into the air, in his cloak, he looked a lot like the Grim Reaper for just an instant.
Rotu then added most of his own power, and that of two Guardian Spirits, into the swords, and unfolded his own wings. The combatants clashed.

ROTU SOUNDS TOO MUCH LIKE ROTOM

anyway I have a more sophisticated name generator, which is getting an old english translator and sticking vowels on it.

As far as I can tell most of the time it's the species of the character with a few letters off.

Anyway I forgot to mention about how great Eibmoz' return was: it was. Also that's interesting that it's zombie backwards because the z had me thinking he was initially from some kind of steampunk MMO where a z would make sense or something.

Rak, Tops, Swal, uh... that's all I can think of off the top of my head. Topper resulted directly from my name so he doesn't count.

Okay, you guys have been going on about names, so in tonight's part... I guess you'll tell me how you go about solving equations?

Also, I need to get a general opinion on the music. Mind you, it won't have any effect on tonight's part music or anything, but for future parts anyway.

Part 3-4: Revival of the Tech Core

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM9zA83fu5w
Noctus stood up. “I’ve got it. Ein, is it true that you can reverse engineer a Tech Core from this?” He pulled out Jupiter’s power source.
I nodded. “Yeah, all I need is the pants of some monster with gigantic horns, claws and teeth, five eyes, three noses, and an irrational number of arms.”
He looked at me like I was a madman, then set to looking up this fabled monster.
Meanwhile, I worked out the equation into one with variables and began working continuously to solve it.
q = the new tech core
d = lunch
g = garbage
n = insanity
z = Jupiter’s power source
a = nonexistant meaninglessness that has absolutely no value
m = the square root of the pants of some monster with gigantic horns, claws and teeth, five eyes, three noses, and an irrational number of arms

(q^2) - d*g^n + (z*a)/ln(90 + q^2 - d*g^n) = m
q^2 = m + d*g^n - (z*a)/ln(90 + q^2 - d*g^n)
e^(q^2)(90 + q^2 - d*g^n)/e^(m + d*g^n - (z*a)) = e
e^(q^2)(90 + q^2 - d*g^n) = e^(m + d*g^n - (z*a) + 1)
x = d*g^n
q^2 = r
r^2 - rx + 90r = m + d*g^n - (z*a) + 1
r^2 + r(90 - x) = m + d*g^n - (z*a) + 1
q^4 + q^2 = (m + d*g^n - (z*a) + 1)/(90 - d*g^n)

The fourth power of the new tech core plus the square of the new tech core is equal to (the square root of the pants of some monster with gigantic horns, claws and teeth, five eyes, three noses, and an irrational number of arms plus lunch times garbage to the power of insanity minus (Jupiter’s power source times nonexistant meaninglessness that has absolutely no value) plus one) divided by (90 minus lunch times garbage to the power of insanity).
With that formula solved, the new tech core poofed into existence.
Everything in the vicinity clicked into life.

Eibmoz spun with his scythe, a razor whirlwind. Rotu blocked with his two swords at once. They both launched back and downward, into the buildings, just as the gears started to turn.
Rotu jumped up on top of a conveyor belt and rode it to the outside of the building. Eibmoz climbed a mass of gears. He found himself on the surface next to Rotu, exchanging a few blows. Rotu jumped onto another gear next to him and kept fighting. They fought again each time the gears came around.
Rotu moved onto another conveyor belt, a winding pathway of them to be exact. Eibmoz’s attempts to kill him were slowed by irregularity. Rotu flew off the network of conveyor belts and into one of the tech circuits. Eibmoz darted after him. The door slammed shut between them, then opened a fraction of a second later. These passages were full of metal plates darting through, as well as zaps of electric shock power.
“Don’t lose your balance!” Eibmoz shouted. He shot a blast of evil energy, but Rotu blocked it with the energy of the circuit.
“How do you know about that?” Rotu shouted, focusing the electricity into a power, using it immediately. “I don’t think you’re from around here. Or, should I say, around now?”
Eibmoz’s eyes widened. “So, you know about that, do you? Alright. It’s time to stop playing around here. You don’t have the personal expertise to manipulate this core. But my demons do.”
He spoke several words in a dark language. The shadows coalesced into forms that wormed into the systems. The circuit increased its power and shifted the metal slabs erratically and at insane pace, faster than lightning itself.
Eibmoz appeared right next to Rotu and began attacking directly, the two confined to the small space, going at each other with both magic and blade.
Both were starting to get tired, but Rotu kept charging himself up with energy from what was surrounding him, the electricity of the tech circuit.
Eibmoz knew that was a mistake. This was his intention.

“He actually did it... the legend was true. He really did reverse-engineer the Tech Core. And maybe it’s also true that he went back in time and introduced it to Derriga.” Jupiter shook her head in wonderment. “Well, I’ll come back for it later.”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDoBcqdPx-Y&feature=related
Rotu’s mother could no longer take the power. She faded away, along with some of his own strength coming from her blood being cut off. Matt felt Rotu focus him once again, turning into a shield around the boy’s body and emanating a huge voltage.
Eibmoz realized his problem. Every electron in his body felt pulled towards it. Each time one did, a spark of energy appeared, adding to the power. “My servants,” he croaked, “Come here to protect me!” As the demons gathered around his body, he felt their power enclose him.
The edge of the circuit broke, revealing it to the masses outside, who saw a combatant made of lighting and using a sword, and another made of demonic energies and using a scythe.
They fought continuously, on and on, dancing through the streets with the precision of two Jedi in a light saber duel. We’ll come back to the subject of Star Wars in a time when our pace isn’t so incredibly rapid.
And a time when my word count isn’t so low.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven strikes, spinning and leaping through the air, eight nine ten eleven, twelve, thirteen strikes at dizzying strength and speed, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 before both fell back. Twenty attacks. Twenty insane attacks, each with their own bursts of immense power and each carrying the heart of a year that had passed.
Yet these two had never met.
Eibmoz sighed and disappeared. But it wasn’t over yet–the older Noctus came in, quicker and stronger than ever. He battled Rotu up and down the area. But of course, there is a limit to how much plot there can be in just one fight. It’s been more fun than I’ve had writing a fight scene in a while, but here, it’s time for me to spend the last ten minutes of my night completely crapping my way to the end of my word count. Which actually has a decent plot in the end, eh?
Eventually Noctus turned around and left Rotu there. Because he knew that the boy was still losing power. And with nothing left to draw it from, his shifted balance already having gone too far, he collapsed, his body starting to flicker in and out of existence. Matt felt much the same thing.
How could this happen?

* * *
Jupiter stared in wonderment at the tech core. It was several times more powerful than the original, and in all actuality based on its equation, existed in eighteen different dimensions. But it was being slowly eaten away by something.
“I don’t understand,” I said, staring at it. “I did everything perfectly.”
“No,” Noctus said. “You made a mistake when converting the natural logarithm to the exponential form of the equation. I’m not sure how to fix it, and you came damn close, but this is not the tech core that was meant to be made. Also, it rightfully is meant to exist in dimensions beyond what we can possibly know. And it is not eighteen dimensions–you do not add the powers. It simply has twice the existence in the first six of its twelve dimensions.”
I shook my head. “Noctus. If you understood all of that, why didn’t you solve it yourself? I could have used the help, you know.”
He shrugged. “You seemed to be getting it well enough. Besides, you didn’t ask.”
Mouse sighed. “Does that mean that in order to truly replenish the tech core, we will have to start over? And how come we made it without any of the ingredients?”
I nodded. “Yes, there are those loopholes. I guess a wizard did it.”
Yes, I’m aware that my word count is low tonight.
