Dark Age Legends

[CyberWolf]

Armic had regained his composeur, and had taken back over as the Dominant soul within his body.

Rising up from the ground as well, with his red, feather-bare demon wings, one with a scar from a previous battle with Ryu, Armic withdrew his staff, rested it upon his left forearm, and pointed the bloody red, ruby embedded tip at Zeros' head.

"Hmmph, to hell you say? Where I will be praised for Eternity? Bah, killing me would actually make life Better for me! Heh heh... I'm only hear to cause an armeddaggon. But you've worn on my nerves. I'll have to kill you first..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nevina lept up from the ground to aid her comrads. As she charged towards the Necro Dragon, She focused all of her Holy Energy into her Bastard Sword. She Cried out "God Sabre!!" as her Sword began to gleam with Holy white aura. She Lept from the Ground, her Sword swinging down at the Necro Dragons tail.

[Zeros']

Zeros' wagged his finger in front of his face as he made a 'tsk' sound with his free hand while floating a few feet in front of Armic.

"Ah...young, what was it, Armci?" He questioned as he gazed at him with half lidded eyes. "I said I would kill you, but I didn't say how." He said with an evil gaze at Armic. "I will kill your spirit. Once I defeat you, I will leave you in a bloodied heap, within an inch of your life, but I will not kill you." He said with an evil chuckle.

"Oh no. I will not do that and you can thank your evil deity Qor for that. For after I beat you down within an inch of your life, I will use the god part of my blood to use an anceint, forbidden spell I came across. This 'spell' is the ultimate form of tourture. I will let you live and recover, but the spell I will cast will eat away at your life and magic force as your body will slowly drain of any energies, steadily making you weaker, draining your magic and lifeforce permanetly so they cannot recover." He let out another evil chuckle as he gazed at Armic.

"But that's not the best part. As the spell slowly drains all forces of life, it will allow you to hold onto a sliver of life, just enough to live, but you will not be able to move an inch and no matter how much demonic interferance you have. This spell also anchors YOUR soul and ANY other soul into your body to the sliver of lifeforce, which will never go away. Your body and soul will remain forever on Midgard, never allowed to pass on into the afterlife, then you will WISH I would have sent you into the next-life." Zeros' roared with laughter as he glared at Armic and smiled grimly.

"This is the ultimate tourture. I'm sure if you ask your Deity about it, as I'm sure he's well versed in this tourture method, that is, IF he stays around long enough." He said grimly with an evil glint still evedent in his eyes. As he was saying all this, he was chanting a spell in his head as he used his free hand and waved it in a vauge gesture.

Crackles of magical energy arched around the length of Zeros' and Armic, expanding for about 30 yards then stopping, forming a barrier around them, allowing nothing to get in or out, including souls, magic or bodies.

[Xorlak]

(Hmm, forums weren't working yesterday...)

Draven smirked as Xenai and Zion went off to fight the monster.  He slowly began flying towards Haraldur.

"Well now, it seems its just you and me once more..."

He stopped about fifty feet from his target and extended his left hand, which was glowing brightly with the energy he had collected previously, while he held his crimson blade loosely with his right.  He quickly fired off three large burning spheres, each over three feet in diameter, but his aim was seemingly off... Two headed above and past his target, one to the left and right, and the third below...

----

(15 ft diameter = 7.5 ft radius.  Heh...)

The Bone... err... Necrodragon waved its claw at the crescent energy sent by Ryu, but the energy wave hit its wrist perfectly, severing it.  The undead abomination became furious once more, but this was the perfect distraction as all of the other warriors began their attacks.

The Kuon Suisei created a large gash on the left side of it's skull, which it retorted by lunging at Tsu.  But before it could reach him, it was slammed by the Hyperion.   This combined with the Tetra Beam dislodged over half of it's ribs and its left arm.  At the same time, Nevina's blade severed its tail half way.  As it screamed in rage, Duilin's attack slammed it right in the mouth, which caused its upper body to explode, sending bone fragments in all directions.  The lower half of its body collapsed as the dust rose, shaking the ground...

----

Another roar eminated from the rift, identical to the Necrodragon's...

(You guys might want to do something about this portal.  Heh...)

[Trent]

//Dude Man, get your mind outta the gutter. Boner dragon was intentional, the energy balls weren't! Sicko. Razz

Tsu could do nothing to avoid getting hit. It took a whole lot outta his vital force. Zion and Xenai watched the dragon crumble. "At least that one's gone, said Zion."

"Here comes more," says Xenai, watching the rift.

"Drat."

[Zeros']

Ryu's magical eye immeaditely swirved towards the portal as he sheathed both his sword in two hidden sheaths that weren't visible on his body. He reached the edge of the portal and started forming a series of extremely complexe hand seals as chakra, ki and chi started to radiate of him in waves as it started to focus around him. As he stopped the complexe hand seals, chakra, ki and chi exploded outwards from him as he slammed his fists into the ground, palms opened.

"YOUKAI MENURI MONMYAKU NO JUTSU! (This roughly translates into "Demon Sealing Portal Skill/Technique")" He cried as line of chakra, ki and chi slowly wandered over the portal, first lining up in the middle and spreading out like a spider web, gradually growing in size and shape as they weeved around till the portal was complete covered in lines of body energies as a circle of twelve Chinese runes appeared, which were slowly circling out in clock-like form, turning clock-wise.

(These are the symbols are going clock-wise from 12, 1, 2, ect, starting from 12 and going towards 11. Mind you, these are if they are stopped.)

12 o'clock: Nezumi (Rat)
1 o'clock: O-ushi(Ox)
2 o'clock: Tora (Tiger)
3 o'clock: Usagi (Hare)
4 o'clock: Ryu (Dragon)
5 o'clock: Hebi (Serpent)
6 o'clock: Uma (Horse)
7 o'clock: O-hitsuji (Ram)
8 o'clock: Saru (Monkey)
9 o'clock: Tori (Bird)
10 o'clock: Inu (Dog)
11 o'clock: Ousu-buta (Boar)

The symbols glowed blue, white, red, yellow, orange, violet and slowly shifted to many other colors before slowly circling again and flattened out and stopped as they took up the original position as they landed on the barrier so they were flat as an intense light covered the feild.

Soon as the light lifted, Ryu collapsed from exhaustion on all fours, breathing heavily with a smile on his face as the 12 symbols of the Chinese Zodiac were etched on the ground, in their original position, in front of him on a circle of dirt, a presence of emmense evil coming from it.

"It's....done...." He breathed as he looked up, managing to struggle to his feet.

[Haraldur]

Haraldur rushed backwards, and caught two of the fireballs in his hands, and kicked the other. In an amazing display of soccer/football skill, it went through the portal. The stress of so much energy going through the wrong way, made it explode into nonexistance. The two fireballs he chucked at the fortress, further disturbing the rubble.

"You really must get some variety into your life Draven, otherwise killing is no fun," he said, as one of the descending fireballs burnt a soldier to a crisp. "You are capable of things other than fire, you are wasting yourself, and your enjoyment. What is the satisfaction in killing people if you are going to do the same things every time?"

With a mad, disturbing laugh he brought his hands out to his side, and lifted them up. The ground below cracked, and a mass of water rose up quickly, forming a high cuboid shape mass of water with the battle field as its cross sectional area, engulfing him and Draven, before running away and causing severe flooding and landslides for days.

[Dude Man]

//Hah, I guess you got a point there Eon. It's me who has the warped mind! Razz  :wacko: //

"Yes, Kami-Ryu....it is done....or is it?" Duilin sighed...he floated down to the ground and stood between Ryu and Nevina. Rink then walked next to Duilin, he looked down at his little Imp friend. "Nice work you did with the castle..."

He then turned around and spoted Haraldur causeing the huge blast of water. "What the devil is he doing!?" He then ran abit closer to the two.

"Duilin!" Rink cried as his friend ran...

[CyberWolf]

Armic was stricken with fear, but Qor reassured him...

"You know as well as I do, Zeros', a spell only lasts as long as the Caster's life... And for you... I predict a very short life..." Qor said, as he feinted a frontal attack at Zeros' stomach, he phased, but left an image of himself charging at his opponent, the real Armic had gone behind him, spat upon his tainted blade, and thrust it into Zeros' back, or at least, where Zeros should be, if he chose not to be ran through by the "ghost".
//Have both of my Demon Flesh golems been killed? I know Duilin killed one of them...//
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nevina smiled in Satisfaction as the Necrodragon exploded into dust, but jumped as she heard the roar of another one approaching.

Nevina knew she coul close the portal, and possibly damage the Underworld... but she would have to do it from within...

She rushed INto the rift, and began her journey through Hell itself...

[Xorlak]

"Ah, yes, we wouldn't want you to get board now, would we?"

The two fireballs Haraldur threw at the fortress changed direction, after the encounter with one of the soldiers.

As the water rushed at him from below, Draven thrust his left hand straight down.  A violent shock of superheated air met the water before it could come close to the madman, instantly evaporating the majority of it.  A thick white steam engulfed the battlefield and surrounding sky, reducing visibility to a mere few feet, especially around Haraldur and Draven.

"Variety...  Jack of all trades, yet master of none?"

Draven snapped his fingers and the two surviving fireballs, now one on each side of Haraldur, exploded into twelve long sphere shaped flames each, which blasted upon the bitter one from the left and right.  At the same time, Draven lifted his crimson blade and made a mad dash through the thick steam at his opponent...

----

The remains of the fallen Necrodragon began to stir...  Suddenly, the lower half sat up and began to clumsily make its way towards Duilin and the others.  As spray from the water attack began to rain down, bits of severed bone began to float in air, moving toward the lower half and reuniting with it...

----

The tear in space began to shrink behind Ryu's seal, but the second Necrodragon appeared behind it.  Neglecting to notice Nevina, the massive abomination roared and clawed at the seal like a caged animal...

[Zeros']

//Both golems are dead Cyberwolf.\\

"Ah yes, I know that, but it matters not as I can survive for several hundred centuries because of both elements of my being. Also, I had toyed with the spell and found I can anchor it to other being's if I desire..." He replied calmly as Armic sped at him.

Zeros' sensed the attack and flared his right hand with demonic and god ki, making his hand become enveloped in a swirl of midnight black and glowing pure white ki and caught the sword behind his back as he parried the attack of the 'ghost' Armic. He held on fast as he reared his hand back and threw Armic with all his might towards the edge of he barrier, which reached down towards and into the ground.

----

Ryu sighed as the seal held the barrier together. He also noticed the lower half of the other Necrodragon glowing faintly. Ryu stood shakily, both hands on his knees and pointed towards the Necrodragon.

"Look!" He yelled as he pointed towards the lower half. "It's still alive, if barely."

[Dude Man]

//Cyber Wolf, Ryu allready closed the barrier. Sheesh, read posts :rolleyes: //

Duilin eye's widened as the Necrodragon rose back up "Now you have got to be shitting me!"

Duilin then charged a fire ball in one hand and an energy ball in the other. He trusted both hands toward the Necrodragon and the balls flew at the monster. Hitting it front legs (It's on all fours right?) causeing it to slump slighty down on the ground, to buy them some time...

Rink slowly backed up, he blasted a few fire blasts at the Necrodragon, but it had basically no effect on it. "Dang, I won't be much help here..." He flew up 6.5 feet into the air "But, I'll do what I can..."

[Zeros']

//Actually I meant the portal that the other Necrodragon was coming out of.\\

[Haraldur]

Haraldur said: "Not necessarily."

He teleported to be a few mtres behind draven, and then moved further away in that direction.

//Short range ones are OK, I understand.//

Haraldur told Zeros', Ryu and Duilin: We must go! This battle is unimportant and only wastes time. We have the fifth weapon, there is nothing else here of interest. As I said, we can find the sixth when we have all five. We must go! Zeros', your petty squabble is unimportant at this time, we must go, and take the weapons with us! The weapons are currently the most important. We must go! I repeat: we must go! We must go! NOW!

Haraldur started slowly accelerating southwards. All the weapons glowed with urgency.

[CyberWolf]

//They should all be coming out the same rift... And anyways, the Necrodragon was still squeezing through at this point. Which in turn, gives Nevina just enough space to squeeze through the rift and into Hell. I'm reading. Razz//

Sliding back, but not falling into the barrier, Armic said grimly,"You sir, need a new hobby."

He blasted a red beam of light at his barrier, forming a small hole. The barrier began to rebuild, closing the hole, but it was still just big enough of a breach...

Qor knew Nevina had treaded into his terratory, and it all worked into his plan of Armeddaggon...

"Either way, good luck binding me to a plane of existance that, soon, will cease to exist..." Qor said delightfully, as he warped from the Building, through the Barrier Breach, back into his Underworld home, awaiting Nevina...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nevina flew through the 9th level of hell, severing suprised Deamons from their limbs as she went along.

She had to get to Limbo, the very first level of hell, and sever the ties between Midgard and the Underworld. This would force Qor out of Armic, and send all rightfully bound demons back into Hell, permenantly, and make it impossible for Mortals to journey to Hell, in life or the afterlife. This would make Nevina a saviour...

But little did she know, Qor was right behind her, with a completely different scheme in mind...

[Zeros']

I'm coming He replied as he pazed out of the dispelling barrier and appeared next to Ryu, picking him up in a fireman's carry and forming a barrier around himself to protect him from wind resistance and followed Haraldur southward.
