The soldier entered the dining hall.  It was a complete mess, broken dishes, half eaten food spralled across the long table.  There was only one man sitting at the end.  He was rather plump and gruffy, with a scraggly beard and dingy clothes, gnawing on a chicken leg like a dog.

The soldier saluted.

"Sir Wallace!"

"Idiot!"

The soldier was promptly smacked with a chicken bone.

"I'm the KING of Redvik now!"

"Ermh... yeah..."

Wallace, the former overseer of the weapons development facility deep within the fortress, had taken over the entire establishment, naming himself king when the Dark Empire fell.

"What'd ya want?!"

"Some people want to be let into the city.  They say the bring gifts..."

"People?  What people?"

"A man in a black cloak, a sliver haired man, and two weird knights in blue armor..."

"Huh?  Yeah right!  Tell 'em to get lost!  That's the oldest trick in the book!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Dolt!  That's sire!  Or majesty!  Or something..."

"Ermh... yeah..."

----

The door creaked open again, the soldier peering out.

"No.  Go away!"

"That's a shame..."

Lars grabbed the soldier by the collar and ripped him from the doorway, throwing him on the ground behind him.  With the other hand, Lars reached into his cloak and produced his broadsword, which he proceeded to ram through the soldier's flimsy armor.  The shrouded Lars then propped the massive door open, motioning a polite bow to his mercenaries as he extended his arm to the open doorway.

"Coming?"

Armic smiled. "I'm Armic a'Kahrr, by the by..."
He admired Lars quick desposal of the incompitant infidel, and followed, making sure to stomp on the dead soldier.

Armic walks into the room, grabs an uncooked (yet half-eaten) chicken leg from the table, guzzles the small amount of blood leaking from it, and then stands by for Lars' orders.

We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment,
We are choosing to be here right now. Hold on, stay inside
This holy reality, this holy experience.
Choosing to be here in

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Alive, I

In this holy reality, in this holy experience. Choosing to be here in

This body. This body holding me. Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal
All this pain is an illusion.

Twirling round with this familiar parable.
Spinning, weaving round each new experience.
Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing.

This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.
Embrace this moment. Remember. we are eternal.
all this pain is an illusion.

"Yes sir." Frost replied to Lars
"Sure thing boss." Bite replied

They entered the building.
"So we gonna get to iceing people?" Bite asked, raiseing his Ice Thrower. Frost placed his hand on the handle of his Ice Sword, prepareing to swipe it out on Lars' comand.

Duilin looked at Cheetah as he entered. He then looked back at the picture.

"Yes, very interesting. I say we should probally find the weapon." He subjested

//If someone grabs the next weapon, make sure there is something standing in the way. It would only be fair. The only reason I didn't put anything up for the first weapon was to set the story going. Looks like it works.\\

Zeros' smirked and entered the building.

Inside, is a giant shrine. The length is a massive 500 feet in length, shined to perfection. If one could, the would be able to eat off the floor. The heigth is around 200 feet, which extended with a dome shape. On the roof, there is another depiction of the battle one month ago. On the left walls were pictures of past Dark Empire rulers, while on the right were the rulers of Romme. Momuments for the other three countries can be seen, but they are not as spertacular.

Every 10 or so feet, a giant pillar reaches up to the dome to support the huge shrine. The room is lighted in an eerie way, with no visible light sources.

From the door to the back, a red carpet is laid out, streching the entire 500 feet. At the end of the path, there is a gaint altar decorated with gems, golds and silvers that are shined to perfection.

Floating slowly ontop of the altar is an ornate covered staff made of pure gold with an outcroping that elongates into a C shape with a circular sapphire floating in the middle for the head of the staff. From there down, the staff is perfectly cindrical slowly thinning into a point that floats above the altar about 3 inches.

"There it is. That's the legendary staff. We already have the sword and spear. I fear they won't be easy to get a hold of, especially because of Lars and his group, not to mention the others." Zeros' said while slowly walking forwards, his six feathered wings pointed outwards.

"These are the Dark Empire's rulers." Zeros' gestures to the left side of the room. "As you can see, some one keeps track of all this. The Romme rulers are on the right side." He said while gesturing to the right. Kami-ryu took this all in shock and awe as he slowly followed his master.

"I fear that the ones that are on neither side could determine who wins the power struggle. And also who has the weapons, but those alone are not enough." He said as he looked towards his companions.

"I should also mention that this space lives inside a pocket deminsion. A place that exceeds the boundries of our world and the laws of time and space." He said with a smirk.

//I thought Retan founded DE...//

Haraldur turned to Cheetah and said: "Yes, he probably was. He also created the weapons, if you must know, at the same time. He was my father, the god Melkoth. He used to control the whole world, and before he was defeated by his enemies he forged six weapons to help continue his legacy..."

He ignored the shocked faces of some around him.

"Are you taking it Zeros', or do you think another should?"

(Yeah, Retan technically founded the "Dark Empire", heh...)

----

"Right now."

The foursome found themselves in the guard room inside the outer wall surrounding the fortress.  Some ten guards burst through the door before them.

"Looks like the quiet way is out the window..."

Lars began a mad dash at the enemies, the sword out to his side glowing a faint red.

"Follow me!  We haven't the time for these insects!"

He proceeded to perform a huge leaping horizontal slash, sending four of the guards airborne, colliding into the wall behind them.  Lars then broke through the door, which lead to the inner town, and took off down the path, heading straight for the main fortress at a full run.

//Well even if Retan technically "founded" the Dark Empire, that doesn't mean he hadn't passed the throne time to time...Heh.\\

Zeros' shook his head. "No. I already have two of them. One of you guys should take them. Iduran's sword is already bonded with my flesh." Zeros' looked towards the staff and shook his head back and forth.

"I had a feeling there was more to you then meets the eye Haraldur. Heh..."

//Hey, can I decied were the next weapon is? I got an idea!//

Duilin pondered for a moment, weather or not he should take the staff.
No...not this one...

"I think Haradular should." Duilin subjests

-----

Frost took out his sword and pick axe, incase anymore soilders attack. He ran following Lars' on the guards swung his sword at him, but he block the attack, he stabed the guard with his sword and then swung his pickaxe behind the guards shoulder and then pulled him foward with it, he then pushed the dead guard back and started following Lars. Bite followed Frost, and started running backwards and shooting away at 2 of the guards chaseing him. The two were frozen soilded, they'd die withen a few minutes. He turned around and continued following his brother, following Lars.

3 guards left

"God... Melkoth?" - Cheetah said. - "Yeah, I fit pretty well in this team. Two demons and a son of god."

"And you'd better be careful with these weapons... I have evil feelings about this place." - he added.

Armic was a tad angered by the sudden change in plan, but he liked the chaotic method better than the peaceful way. He looked around him, and as the soldiers began to close in on him, he resonated a black glow. His shadow had disapeared from the ground and engulfed him, forming a black tint all around him.
It was merely an amusing trick, but the soldiers were of a supersticious type, and they backed up from him in fear. He motioned for a soldier to move out of his way, but the soldier was fear-stricken. Armic drew his Cursed long sword and decapitated the man, holding the head in his hand, and beckoned the men off as he followed Lars out of the room, in a slow walking pace, quite over confident in himself.

"Well...lets see...I'm the son of a demon and an angel, Haraldur's the son of an ancient god, Duilin's a daemon, Cheetah's a shapeshifter that, with enough power, can copy any form and Kami-ryu is a ninja with metal limbs and a cloak that can change shape..." He counted off.

"But I agree with Duilin on who should pull the staff. Haraldur seems the best choice, considered his usually means." He said nonchalantly. "If were lucky, we'll be able to get all the weapons before anyone else can and dispose of them."

"OK, then. I will take it. However, be ready for something to happen: in the majority of cases, my father liked to have guardians for his treasures."

Haraldur walked up towards the alter, and pulled the staff away, backing away quickly.

Where the staff was there was a flash of flame, revealing itself to be a Balrog, a spirit of fire, a servant of Melkoth.

"Of all the chances we have to have this now..."

//When in doubt, plug in Tolkien. As well as the Balrog, there is Melkoth (Melkor + Morgoth). I love being cheap.//

Zeros' stepped forwards and vanished with his emense speed and reappeared by Haraldur's side. Kami-ryu was back by Cheetah and Duilin.

"So...a Balrog? Interesting..." Zeros' commented as he pulled out his sword, willing it to transform. Zeros' held the sword forward in his right hand, pointing at the chains at the fire spirits neck. His sword slowly took on a bluish haze as he gathered his ki, using his sword as a catalyst. The aura slowly conensed around the sword as tendrils of blue flowed around it, lashing wildly in the air.

"Let's get it on." Zeros' swiped his sword at the creature. The blue aura left his sword as a crecent shape flew outwards and struck towards the Balrog. It roared its flames and the crescent lessened before dissolving.

Meanwhile, Kami-ryu calmly flipped his wrist towards the creature as five kunai flew outwards from his hand towards the creature, surrounded by the same bluish glow. The balrog extended its hand and clenched the kunai beneith its huge hands.
