Dark Age Legends

[Zeros']

"You do not need my name." Zeros' mentally recorded the direction Jayce was flying at him, he still had some time. He turned his attention back to the orb, glowing with a dark black light, slowly growing by the second.

His own holy aura got even stronger, reached upwards into the sky and towards the heavens, now reaching over 50 feet. Zeros' slashed directly downwards, coming straight down towards Retan.

He quickly split it swords right before the attack hit Retan, splitting the aura into thousands of holy energy balls. Some going towards Retan and some towards the wraiths. Even a few directed themselves towards Jayce, who till wasn't in view.

The sky was now abright with the holy energy, the balls covered the entire area of the battle, flying towards opponents at remarkable speeds.

----

Genma released one last surge of energy, pushing back the beam. His beam now took on a red fire color. He threw his arms outwards and quickly came back down, his palms forwards. He burst agian with energy, sending even more ki into this attack and combining with his other attack, widening and increasing the energy even more.

Genma was now physically sweating. All this exsertion of ki was readily exhausting him and his reserves.

----

(I still have Zev though!)

Zev looked into the orbs and snarled. Qeni stood over him, steadily petting him. Zev shrugged off Qeni's hand and threw his head back, letting out a howl. He disappeared and Qeni looked into the orb. Zeros' was still the same, but Zev was behind Genma.

----

Genma noticed the sudden surge of power behind him, but he noticed it did not have evil intentions.

Zev let out another howl and merged with Genma. A bright light enveloped Genma, swirling energy's colliding, sending a loud boom, rippling the water.

Genma felt a sudden power increase in his ki reserves and pushed harder, infusing more ki energy into his attack, pushing back Neptra's beam even more, coming feet from hitting her.

Genma also didn't notice he had grown fangs in the top corner in his mouth. Genma's hair glowed a white light and extending, reaching down his back and to his waist. It was a bright white color, spiked, like Zev's own fur. He also now had two glowing wolf ear on the top of his head.

[Trent]

Zion phased in directly next to Genma, pointing his hands at Neptra and unleashing his strongest energy wave upon her, merging his with Genma's.
--- --- ---
Tsu had to act fast. That white outline came again. He stopped the scythe with his sword, grabbing the wraith's head and flinging it to the ground. He jumped down toward the Wraith with his sword pointed down. Kuon Yaiba could cut again, and if he succeeded, there would be a sword through the wraith's chest.

[Dude Man]

Nex arived at The Romme Castle. He looked around and saw a bunch of dead bodies.

"Hmmm...all ripe for the picking, but I only need one....one strong one...." Nex spoted a huge body of a dead giant. He walked over to it

"Darion, Darion, Darion....You always were a loser..." Nex then blasted a huge beam of electricity at the body, Darion then started to come to life.

"Good, now come with me!" Nex order and walked away

//Oh, and if you want to know what Nex's voice should sound like, if you have no idea, I might aswell share this, he should sound something like the Joker from the Batman cartoon, or The Hob Goblin from the Spider Man cartoon, [same voice]//

[Cesque]

"Duilin..." - Cheetah said slowly. - "I do not want to chill your burning desire to fight for what is right, but... come on, it's Dark Emperor. Prepparing a powerful thing which would propably leave nothing here after he finishes. I can understand you have some unfinished business here, but I'd personaly prefer to live a bit longer rather than die a hero."

---

Gelu covered himself as suddenly the sky began to shine with holy light.

Standing on the rised wave, he turned toward Zeros - the one which causes this whole unfamiliar situation. He pointed his both hands at him, closed eyes, and fired a glacial ray from each, directed at the demon.

"A demon... using holy aura?"

[Haraldur]

Haraldur regained control of the energy ball which went hurtling towards the emporer again.

He then lifted his arm towards the sky, and clouds formed very fast. They swirled around, and their friction caused lightning. 20 lightning bolts hit his arm, went through him and he aimed his other hand towards the wraith, which was the closest object towards him, and it would hit the Emporer afterwards if it succeeded in hitting the wraith, and then hit the ground.

___________________________________________________________

Ragnar caused a blast of green energy, which pushed the balls of shade straight towards the spectre, and the Emporer, with the energy causing the air go faster than the speed of sound, and so have great impact on things it hit.

He then conjured up a magical detonator, which he threw at the the orb of the Emporer, and which would home in on it. The detonator would cause the unfinished spell to detonate immediately, and carry out its diminished affect.

[Cyber Wolf]

//Sorry about screwing you guys over like that.. Just.. fell behind.. lost interest.. etc.//

Seth was knocked unconcious, and caught into a rip tide, which drifted him out to sea.

He did not die, but instead started drifting to a remote island.. Miles from Romme.
______________________

Nevina chased after Nex, unsheathing her Holy Dirk, and Praying over it..
_______________________

//How many DA's has Tsar killed? Wanna just be quick about it say 500? He has to kill 2,000...//

The assault continued, as the Mage's kicked it up a notch, and casted Death spells onto the Archers arrows.

The Monks healed a few Warriors, while both Monks and Warriors assualted the enemies with new fiericity, as Tsar Charged Psi from the Dying bodies of the the Dark Empirians.

[Dude Man]

"Listen Cheetah, with Iduran and Seth gone, your my best friend, and with Iduran and Scorch gone, I supose I'd have to be your best friend. But, to be honest, we can't just leave them now! If Retan gets the sword, we're all deep up shit creek! So, we have to do something!" Duilin says

----

Nex and Darion march toward back to the sea shore.

"Hold it..." Nex raises his hand signaling Darion to stop "I sence something, stay here and protect yourself if need, better yet, hide in that big hole in the moutain over there...I'll be back, I promise...No matter...What!"

Nex runs out to were Nevina is he charges up a fireball.

"Okay, toots, I'm Nex! Your doom! Eat FLAME!" Nex tosses the fire ball at Nevina

Darion dose as he his told...

----

Veronika continues to shoot away at the Dark Shouls.

----

Pophin continues to swim toward shore, still being his sneaky self.

//Please don't notice him Sad //

[Xorlak]

Impossible!!  Where did that power come from?!

The combined force of Zion and the fused Genma/Zev was overwhelming, pushing the mighty blue Dragon's ice beam back and back.  She put all her might into a final thrust, but this only served to slow the energy which was she now struggled to hold inches in front of her face with all her might...

----

Suddenly there was a massive black explosion in front of Retan, destroying the surge of light elemental balls in front of him.  The black dragon Jayce, who had fired the beam, arrived next to his father, several other holy spheres striking his aura as he protected himself with his wings.

"Father!  What are you doing?!  I have the situation under control!  This is MY BATTLE!!"

Retan didn't look at his son.

"Silence.  Keep this gnat away from me."

"But that much power will--"

"You disobey?"

The dragon caught his tongue, then snarled at Zeros'...

----

Wraith #1 was quickly impaled by Tsu's blade.  After squealing in pain, it became translucent for a second and floated straight through Tsu and emerged directly behind him, before becoming solid again and slashing its scythe at his back in a huge arc....

Wraith #2 was slammed from the front by the tremendous surge of electricity.  At the same time a stray holy sphere from Zeros' attack stuck it from the other side.  A huge explosion rocked the skies and the wraith was no more...

Wraith #3 blocked the its repelled spell with its weapon, zipping in closer to Ragnar to attempt a strike to his left side...


Haraldur's blue ball sped closer and closer to Retan, but at the last second it angled up to the black orb, where it disappeared into the void, the black orb absorbing the spell... (+ 2%!)  The same happened to the half of the shade spell sent Retan's way (+ 1%), and Ragnar's detonator spell... (+ 2%, told you folks you couldn't attack him while you were fighting one of his guards... heh.)

Retan returned his right hand to the sky, fully concentrating on the spell.  A flash of lightning, the sphere quickly swelled to 10 feet in diameter...

(MDAA: 45%

Retan's guardians:

Wraith #1: Occupied (50% HP)
Wraith #3: Occupied (50% HP)
Jayce: Occupied
Neptra: Occupied (and far away))

----

The aerial battle swung completely for the tsi army in the past half hour... The dozen or so remaining Dark Wyverns scattered, fleeing for their lives...

(I'll give you your 2,000 deaths.  Or you can say 1,988 and hunt down the remaining ones like animals, heh...)

----

(Dude Man:  Ha!  Classic shows.  That's one of the top ten coolest voices of all time. (Heh...))

[Zeros']

Zeros' noticed the power surge. He wasn't sure what those mages were doing, but they sure weren't helping any. Zeros' could transform and gain power beyond anything imaginable, but he lost control of himself and would attack anything on site, he wanted to save that unless he needed it. //Actually, its more like go into a berserk state.\\

Zeros' could match the power of Retan's dark orb within seconds, but that would leave him totally open to attacks, he'd rather not do that.

Zeros' got in a qucik stance, right sword on his right shoulder and left sword pointed towards Jayce, holding it right below his shoulders. His right sword slowly charged with holy aura as he waited to use it at the right time...

----

Genma held steady and slowly pumped more and more ki into his attack while Zion's power fused with his. He hoped they could at least take her out. She would either die, be knocked unconcious, or couldn't use her powers for the next couple months.

He would also be exhausted after this attack, but something kept him going, barely sweating. //Still hasn't noticed Zev murged with him.\\

[Trent]

"HAAAA!!!!" One last surge of will would pump up the ki wave, hopefully enough to make it hit Neptra.
--- --- ---
Tsu quickly dropped Kuon Yaiba beside him. He ducked, dodging the attack, and brought his legs up, then over and down, pinning the wyvern down to the ground hard, so that he would be sitting on him. He grabbed Kuon Yaiba and thrusted it down through the wyvern's head.

[Cesque]

"Duilin. I don't want to share fate of Iduran or Seth." - as he finished talking, he turned into a wyvern form and began to slowly get up higher...

Remaining on the island was sure doom. Duilin should understand it. He is simply too blindly heroic to understand that life is the only true value and with it's loss, everything else ceases to matter for you.

---

Noticing that Tsu temporarily left the combat with wraith, without much thinking Gelu launched a powerful cone of ice straight at Emperor's dark orb, hoping for it to absorb spell's energy.

"Fighting with enemies is futile. The only way it will end is by finishing Emperor's spell... and this moment should come sooner."

[Haraldur]

Haraldur shot shards of light magic at the wraith attacking Tsu, hoping it would annihilate it.

He also caused many rocks to appear in a sphere around Jayce and Retan, which then rushed in towards the centre, in which was Retan.

____________________________________________________

Ragnar noticed what effect his attacks were having, and smiled a strange smile to himself.

He dodged the wraith, conjured up his dark blade and slashed at it, with red energy enveloping the blade.

He then pointed his left arm downwards, and his right arm towards the black orb. Huge amounts of energy left the earth below him, making the magma itself below the island cool and harden, causing great cracks on the surface. This energy he aimed as a very wide stream of hugely hot and burning light, turning the air itself to plasma, towards the orb of the Emporer, and the Emporer himself.

[Xorlak]

The blue dragon slid backwards faster and faster until it was too much?

?NOOOOOO!!!!?

The combined energy wave finally made contact.  A blinding flash of red and white engulfed the seas, followed seconds later by a deafening explosion.  The blast sent a 100 foot tall tidal wave in all directions-- to Genma and Zion, and raging towards the shore, as a mushroom cloud rose to the sky?

----

?NYAAAHHHH!!!?

The black dragon exploded with energy as he defended several large stones from an earth attack.

?INSECT!!  YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!!?

Jayce took off towards Zeros? like a jet, thrusting a mighty right claw outward to catch his chest as he rocketed past?

----

(EoN: You meant 'wraith', right?)

Tsu?s blade bore deep into the darkness of the open cowl of the wraith.  Bright light burst from its body disintegrating it within a few seconds.

Ragnar?s blade pierced his wraith, enveloping it in a crimson aura.  It exploded with a loud bang, pieces of its tattered robe floating down afterwards?


Gelu?s ice spell slammed into the black orb with a flash of blue light (+ 4%).  Ragnar?s beam the same, it bending in the air and narrowing a bit before disappearing into the darkness (+ 4%).

Seeing the impending rocks from the earth spell, Retan lowered his right hand to his front, clenching his fist then opening it.  A translucent black spherical shockwave emitted from his palm, expanding and colliding with the stones, destroying them.

A flash of lighting.  The orb above his left hand swelled further, now a gargantuan 25 feet in diameter?  Black bolts of electricity danced around the surface while a fait crimson aura surrounded the dark sphere?

(MDAA: 63%

Retan's guardians:

Jayce: Occupied)

[Zeros']

Zeros' lashed out with his left sword, deflecting the large claw. He kept his right sword holstered on his shoulder, slowly gathering aura. Zeros' combined his swords agian, keeping his right hand on the huge sword as it holstered across his shoulder.

Zeros' charged his ki energy and fired multiple blasts of blue, yellow, green, all representing a different emotion. To one trained, Zeros' sword would look like a huge threat. Jayce was blinded by rage to even pay attention to this.

----

Genma cut through the wave with a swipe of his hand, using ki to project a blade of energy and cut through the waves, passing over both Genma and Zion.

Genma concentrated and extended his ki senses. He sensed a barely alive Neptra, on the vurge of dying. He may have fought as hard as he could, but he held honor over his 1000 or more years of living; he would never let a woman die, no matter how wicked.

Genma located the barely surviving Neptra and sped forwards, straight into the area where she was fighting them. He dived in, his wolf hair bobbing in the water when he saw Neptra bobbing to and fro under the water.

He projected his ki and reached Neptra in seconds. He quickly created a barrier with his ki and covered both him and Neptra, who was serverally hurt. He put his hand over her right breast (near where her heart was) and transfered his ki into her, hoping to keep her alive.

Genma slowly surfaced, cradling Neptra in his arms. He knew Zion would be pissed at him, but he silently floated next to Zion and looked down at the water, not showing his face to him.

[Trent]

//Yeah, wraith. Heh.

The tidal wave was refreshing to his tired body. He could feel Retan's power growing in the distance. "Now, what should we do about him?" He looked in Retan's direction. "Not like we can do much." He checked all over himself for any spare elixirs... He didn't seem to have any at all. But he could see something coming... Oh no.

Tsu sprung to his feet and looked at Retan. "Now it's your...- AAAH!!!" Tsu had seen the same thing Zion had. Xenai was floating toward Retan, with the Zero Weapon walking along behind him.

"Emperor, I have a gift for you." Xenai pointed to Retan, and looked to the Zero Weapon. "You now belong to him." The Zero Weapon obediantly walked over to Retan. "Emperor, I'm sure this will be a much better guardian than those wraiths."

//This will be fun. Xorlak, the Zero Weapon is now your NPC.
