Dark Age Legends

[Dude Man]

"Seth, we don't have time for that. Ignore them okay, if you want to fight them go ahead but Iduran needs our help!" Duilin says running faster trying to keep up with Cheetah

----------

Nex then rose his brutalized left arm, a serge of electricy emeited around it and then he pointed it at the Ki blast and fired a ball of dark redish matter, the two hit each other and made a small expoltion

"Hah!" Nex laughs "I've learned many new tricks now, Half Breed. Let's see if you learned anything!" He makes another evil laugh. And then blasts a serge of electricity, into the cave. And then a few zombie soilders walked out heading toward Zeros. Nex laughed again.

[Xorlak]

Draven looked at the insignia.  Sure enough, it was the red winged dragon symbol of the Dark Empire.  The same as on the back of his cape.

"Huh?  Who are you and where did you get that?  I am Lord Draven, one of the three elite high generals of the Dark Empire, and supreme commander of the Imperial Western Division Army.  My command is second only to the emperor himself.  If you're one of us, why is it that you don't know me and I don't know you...?"

Could he be another one of the emperor's personal elites like Genma?  Why must he always employ these dogs outside of his generals' command?

----

Jayce crossed his arms in a similar fashion, taking the full force of the blast.  He was knocked backwards three feet, heels digging into the ground, leaving a trail in front of him.  The surrounding blackness began to absorb inward to him...

"Die!  The lot of you!"

Holding his blade with his right hand, he thrust his left forward.  Immediately, a dozen bolts of lightning began to strike the strike the area around the four opposing warriors randomly from an unseen source.  While normal lightning gives off light, these deadly bolts absorbed it, giving each a distorted black appearance...

(Dark Thunder!)

----

"I think not!"

Neptra stood directly behind the Tsar images.

"A renegade outsider?  I thought that was impossible.  It must have been a mistake by the necromancers that summoned you...  worthless reject...  I'll be removing you from this plane now.  Next time we call you, we'll insure the incantations are more precise..."

She pointed to her left.  A wave arose from the sea, speeding towards the ship.  At about half distance Neptra waved her hand to the right as the water broke up in mid air, congealing into hundreds of thousands of fine shards of ice, mostly the size and shape of large needles.  The blast of ice needles engulfed the Tsars from the south, raging in at over a hundred miles per hour.  She was trying to blast him off of the ship...

[Zeros']

Genma looked back and saw Neptra attacking Tsar; he couldn't do anything for him now.

Genma looked around and found the emperors' ship, he projected his ki and quickly hovered off towards the emperors' ship; he might as well get this business with Iduran over with.

----

Zeros' looked at the soldiers, then looked at Nex.

"The ability to command souls of the dead is nothing special. Neither is your ability to come back. I didn't destroy your physical body so you only need to absorb enough life energy to recreate yourself; such is one of the many abilities of daemons, even I can do this."

Zeros' started chanting incohearnt words as his left hand started to glow with an eerie red light. Zeros' threw the ball at one of the soldiers, it connected and made an explosion of blood and bones; decimating one of them.

[Dude Man]

//Yeah, you can kill more then one now//

 Nex frowned and then spoke "You are nothing to special either, Half Breed, there are many things I can do that you can't, I'm PURE deamon! That's all! Nothing more! I'm more powerfull face it, your humen part is just weaking you down." He then smiles "Let's make you total deamon now! I'll just cut you half!" He jumps up 100 feet into the air (basically flys up) at extreme speed and dives down, haveing his sickle ready to slice him in half!

[Haraldur]

Ragnar looked sceptical.

"Western division? I am sure when I left to go on my mission that the Emporer's son, Jayce, was the High General of the western division. Some water mage, or something, was in charge of the south, and some human guy, who liked all things pyrotechnic, had just recently got the command of the Eastern Divisions. I never met him, though. I left before his full initiation.

"As a member of the Dark Empire, you should know that the Emporer himself does command the North himself. But do you think he does that on his own? Just like you, he has leutenants.

"I am not one of them, I am something... else. I answer only to the Emporer. It is probably best you do not enquire further, whomever you may be."

[Zeros']

"Sure you are Nex..." Zeros' said the first part with alot of sarcasm. Zeros' looked up at Nex and waited for him...and waited...and waited...

And...now! Zeros' raised his sword to meet Nex's right before he drove the sicle him in half.

"You were never a full daemon before! Face it! Your not stronger then me! My human half gives me more strenght then a full daemon could realize!"

Zeros' knew which buttons to push to get Nex fighting in an angry rage.

[Dude Man]

//Zeros' he was flying up and diveing down at extreme speed//

"Oh, you peice of shit!" Nex is angry "If you think rage can weaking my moves, your sadly mistakeing half breed! Your just some stupid ass weakling! Your gonna die!"

Nex blasts a huge blast of shock waves, (abit like The Emporer's electricity in Star Wars, but much more extreme) it was the largest blast of electiriciy he had ever done!

[Trent]

Zion locked onto Draven's aura. He was contemplating whether or not to take back off after him. After a few seconds of thinking, he decided not to continue. He turned to Xenai's direction. "Draven can wait. You're my first order of business." Zion had read about Draven before... That's how he knew his name.

Xenai took his hands off of his bleeding face, and looked up at Zion. "I'm tired of you as well."
--- --- ---
Tsu sat down in front of his little log cabin in the forest near the remains of Romme. (Is that near where Jayce is fighting MotD's charries?) He tightly gripped the hilt of his katana, and listened to everything around him that he could hear.

[Cesque]

Cheetah arrived near the Emperor's ship, passing castle from safe distance. He noticed Genma rushing toward the ship.

"Iduran!" - he tried to scream out loud, but only a loud roar came from his cheetah form's mouth as he was running prepparing for his hostage-liberation action.

---

Scorch was a bit overcame by the situation.

"Simply excellent. If Draven and this strange black weirdo will ally, the island, Romme and everything else will be doomed. And I'll be doomed as well."

---

"He's negotiating..." - Gelu thought. - "What is this Vikingard madman fool up to?"

[Dude Man]

Duilin finally caught up with Cheetah. "That's one hell of a ship." He says. He then notices them entering the ship "Iduran!!!" He cries

----

Pophin grew impatient for the angeal and wolf's reponce. "Well I'm going back to my camp now, if you kids want to follow me be my guest, just don't start annoying me!" Pophin started to head off toward the area were the camp was

[Haraldur]

//Oh, Xorlak, just in case, I found this out from the Chapter three sign-ups, just to prevent any confusion:

Here are mine:

Name: Draven
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 25
Job: High General, Eastern Division
Weapon: none
Alliance: Dark Empire
Description:

Standing just under six feet tall, Draven has long black hair tied back at the shoulder and a piercing glance. His armor, black with red trim, is light and flexible. His gloves and boots are dark brown. His cape, dark red on the inside and black on the outside, sports a four-winged dragon insignia shaped out of red lines on the back-- the insignia of the Dark Empire.

Bio:

The overly pompous Draven lead the menacing army that destroyed Romme. He knows basic spells in other elements and some black magic, but his true passion, his obsession rather, is fire magic. He commands the fire element with devastating ease. He does not use a physical weapon, but sometimes likes to form a blade of fire to use as a sword.

In chapter 1:

Draven displays his absolute will to command at several points. He had several battles with the traitor Scorch, who quickly became his rival. In addition to his crimson blade attack, we see a massively destructive gargantuan fireball he conjures when angry, he trademark aura of flame that surrounds him as he gathers more energy, and the ability to levitate himself.

In chapter 2:

Draven receives a message from his emperor and time is running out to find the sword he seeks, but he manages to keep his cool (well, not really?). He has an encounter with a general from the rival nation of Aritan and later meets a new obstacle in his quest for the sword, namely the demi-human Zeros?. After a battle, Draven obtains a fake sword from Zeros? and returns to his ships to await the arrival of the Dark Emperor, totally oblivious to the fact that the real one is still out of his reach.


Name: Iduran
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Age: 58
Job: Knight Captain
Weapon: A normal broadsword.
(Zeros? is now in possession of the mysterious sword Iduran held for the past two chapters.)
Alliance: Romme
Description:

Iduran is a tall man, standing at 6'4". His short, once brown hair is graying with age, although he still has his cold, steely glance. His metalic gray armor is heavy, but he moves in it with ease. His cape is a light blue.

Bio:

The aging Iduran is King Romme's most trusted knight. But he is no longer the invincible warrior he once was. Still, his swordsmanship is unmatched throughout the kingdom. He also has great experience on his side, having credit for successfully ending the war with the nearby Kingdom of Tjed 10 years earlier. He has been put in charge of defending the castle against the impending attack of the Dark Empire. In battle, he relies mostly on his sword, although he does know a few basic spells.

In chapter 1:

We find out that the sword Iduran holds is why Draven attacked. Iduran feels it contains some sort of power, but he does not know how to utilize it. Near the beginning Iduran suffers a wound that plagues him for the rest of the chapter.

In chapter 2:

Poor old Iduran is bedridden for a while and gives his mystic blade to Duilin along with a quest to find out how to unlock its power. By the time he recovers from his wound, he gets transported to Haraldur?s homeland due to a misguided spell. Here, he is poisoned in a venomous carnivorous plant attack and, alas, must rest in bed again?

Note: Due to his poisoning, Iduran will be an inactive character for a while (meaning he can?t do much more than respond to questions). Which gives me room for two more characters?

Name: Jayce
Gender: Male
Race: Human (?)
Age: 28
Job: High General, Western Division
Weapon: An oversized scimitar, worn across the back. The blade is extremely heavy and barely liftable by most, yet he flips it around single handedly as if it were plastic.
Alliance: Dark Empire
Description:

The tall man exudes just one color: black. At 6? 6?, he is completely coved from his neck down in heavy black onix-like armor. His gauntlets are black, his boots are black, his cape is black? His hair (also black) is comparable in length to Draven?s, yet rather than tying it back, it falls wildly across his face and back in spikes. His face is the only contrast to his silhouette of a figure, his skin being somewhat paler than most.

Bio:

Son of the Dark Emperor and heir to the throne, Jayce commands the western division of the empire?s army. Taking after his father, he is master of the black arts, or the shadow element. The violent man loves destruction and hates just about everything else. His voice is somehow refined and brutish at the same time, resembling a British accent.

Name: Neptra
Gender: Female
Race: Human (?)
Age: 27
Job: High General, Southern Division
Weapons: Long thin daggers, usually two at a time, though she keeps several more affixed to her belt and behind her back.
Alliance: Dark Empire
Description:

About five feet tall, her armor is a deep blue, and is lighter than most, leaving her arms and knees bare. Her short cape is a deceptively pleasant cyan and her long flowing hair a dark blue.

Bio:

Leader of the Dark Empire?s southern division, Neptra commands the water element. The flow of any nearby water source can be controlled by her, with devastating results. Probably the most level-headed and least reckless of the three Dark Generals, her diabolical tactical mind is unmatched. She is the only one in the world who can calm the brutish Jayce.


In case you are wondering, the northern forces are commanded by the emperor himself, so there is no northern general.

Note: Any new Dark Empire officers/soldiers should state which of the three generals they follow. Yes it does matter, because they don?t always get along very well (heh?)

Chapter 3 begins in a week or so!

[Xorlak]

(Blast it Haraldur!  You know I meant eastern.  Been really... preoccupied lately... heh...)

(EoN:  Actually that would place Tsu near Draven and co. and probably Zion and Xenai.  Jayce and co. are further south.)

(Zeros': Actually Genma was already on the emperor's ship, the 'great black vessel'.  Neptra and Jayce  came on the same ship has him, which was what I was assuming by "Neptra's ship" referred to earlier.  Heh...)

----

Draven stroked his chin. He knew his stuff... Blast those cocky emperor assistants who thought they were above the law!

"Very well. I am the commander of the east. The fact that you know who is supposed to be in charge of what saves your skin... Do as you are assigned. Do take care to remember my face and name, though, for if you take another pass at me, I will not hesitate to impale you on a pillar of flame, before reporting your insurrection..."

He sped off towards the south, towards the remaining group of wyvern riders.

Forgot to ask his name... Bah, details, details... probably not important...

He approached the captain of the large unit, flying high above the others.

"You! Who is your officer and what is your mission?"

"L... Lord Draven...?

"Answer!"

"We... we are under the orders of General Neptra to purge the flying army..."

"What flying army? The one that man took out?"

He motioned behind him.

"Y... yes..."

"So your objective is no complete?"

"Well... I guess so..."

"Then I'm taking command."

"But... we're General Neptra's--"

"Silence! You are finished with her orders and now you will be given mine! Is that clear?"

"Y, yes sir..."

[Cyber Wolf]

The ice blasts failed to injure Tsar, but effectivly caused him to go over board (and did a nice number on the ship I'd imagine).

Tsar plunged into the ocean depts, then realized he couldn't swim.

Tsar began to panic, then frantically pulled all his copies together, forming the one, powerful Tsar.

He then warped frantically, but each attempt stuck him back in the ocean, until finally one faithful warp brought him about 10 feet above sea level, near the coast.

He then flew over to the shoreside, as he stood there, gathering psi from the calming, yet dangerous ocean that had nearly costed him his chance at
revenge.

Nevina dodged most of the Dark Lightning Strikes, but one finally landed upon her back, her Scimatar acting as a lightning rod.

She screamed as megavolts coursed through her body, and calapsed.

Seth keeps going with Duilin.

[Haraldur]

Ragnar bowed in an almost sarcastic may, and smiled to himself as he watched the High General go.

Hmmm... I wonder what they are here for...

Indeed... there must something here, wouldn't you agree?

Yes, yes... but it would have to be powerful to warrant such use of force...

We shall probably find out more soon...

Yes...

Lets go kill some trolls...

In an almost Haraldur-like manner, he rushed towards the ground, aflame, and disapeared without a trace.

Hahaha... in the underworld... the great caverns...

The trolls do not know it was I who caused the Dark Empire to betray them... hahaha...

[Trent]

Tsu looked up at Zion and Xenai, who had already started fighting. Their swords clashed fiercely, with the rapid strikes of the Eternity Weapon, and the powerful slashes of the Zero Weapon. His attention then went to Draven and those he conflicted with. He looked over to a small isle a mile or so away from the mainland. Darkness seemed to be radiating from the little island.

"Huh?"

Tsu strapped his katana to his waist, and ran through the woods toward the coast. He looked at the darkness in awe. (Is it still all wintery here?)

//Still wintery://
He dropkicked onto the slippery ice, and slid toward the island.

//Not wintery://
He jumped into the water and swam over to the island.

Upon reaching the coast, he examined what the darkness was radiating from. There seemed to be a hole in the ground it was coming from. It looked like it was made by a sword... A sword like Xenai's...

Zion looked over at the island where Tsu was, and gasped, noticing the darkness. Xenai bursted out laughing. "You, my friend, and all of you Romme aligned scum are dead!"

Tsu thought he could hear a roar come from the hole... What was this?
