Dark Age Legends

[Dude Man]

Duilin, saw the explotion come and Haraldur, practiclly aborb most of it. Yet some flame still flue by...

"That guy is freakishly powerfull...." Duilin said

Rink, had a tight death grip onto Duilin's arm, as he was scared from the shockingly huge explotion.

"Umm...uhhh...Ma-ma-maybe we should go..." Rink squeeked

[Xorlak]

(Let's end this, say, this Sunday.)

Outward and outward the expanding wall of flame raged, pulverizing the arctic north.  A tidal wave appeared in front of the wall as if the ocean were trying to escape the blast.  Draven flew madly just before it, a tiny spec compared to the destruction he had caused.

After expanding in all directions for several miles, Zeros' barrier began to take effect, weakening it substantially, but not entirely.  The flame broke past the protected region in a weakened state, now just skimming the surface of the planet rather than uprooting it...

[Zeros']

Zeros' faltered in his flying substantially and began to fall. He fell for about 100 meters before finally regaining his footing and flying back up towards the others level, breathing heavily.

"D-D-Damnit..." he gasped. "T-T-That spell was powerful...." he sighed audiably and began to slow down, falling behind the group while still carrying Ellenna.

"D-Damn Draven..." he looked down an spotted a small island with lots of tree cover. Let's rest down there.... I need to recover.... that barrier spell almost used all my magical energy.... the only thing I can do is wait for it to regenrate, considering only Duilin has demonic magical energy, but he wouldn't have even half my full capacity.... no Offense Duilin, but you have more alot more ki then magic. he said telepathically to his copanions, pointed down towards the small island.

He slowly guided himself and Ryu towards the island. Once he was right above it, he folded his wings inwards and began to drop at tremendous speeds. When he hit the small island in the middle of a clearing, the ground cracked and a crater about 10 feet deep formed, a spider-web of cracks forming outwards as he landed.

He jumped out of the crater and put Ellenna down, leaning on a tree. He sighed in relief and fell onto his back while Ryu landed next to him, sitting in a mediative position.

[Dude Man]

Duilin, swooped down on the island, letting go of Rink, letting the imp fly down and sat in a tree. Duilin stat down next to Zeros' on the opisate side of Kami-Ryu.

"I wonder if the girl will wake up, she's been asleep more then she has been awake." Rink laughed. He created a small fireball, and balanced on his pointer finger, and the flame began to spin around, and he looked deep into the fire, as if it was showing something...

"You going to be allright Zeros'?" Duilin asked

[Trent]

The trio flew onto the island, but Zion and Xenai remained merged. Was there anything to remain merged for? The end was nigh. There wasn't any need to keep the weapons out, let alone merged.

...Or was there?

...Most likely not...

...But one can never be too careful...

Mugen Seijin floated a very safe distance above the destruction. "Is that it? That can't be it."

[Xorlak]

The flame carried on for a while longer before it fizzled out.  The explosion at the pole had caused the planet to become unstable, and earthquakes spread across the globe.  Masses of land began to rise from the sea while parts of the ones that remained began to sink...

Realizing he was totally exhausted, Draven landed on one of these newly sprouted islands-- just a slab of rock and seaweed, leaning heavily on a boulder as he tried to catch his breath...

That other fiend... is he still alive?  Draven was too tired to scan the horizon for Haraldur...

[Zeros']

"I'll be fine..." he said, shaking his head. "I need to recover my magic power though.... I'll be fine in awhile...." he murmured. "If I didn't use that spell, the world wouldn't be here, more then likely. Midgard is already unstable do to the emense magical power Draven used in his attack. Another attack of that magnitude will completely destroy the world.... maybe even this galaxy...." he said mostly to himself.

(When Zeros' is at full power, he can open portal's and jump to other multiverses. It's like this: there would be this world where Retan used the MDAA, but there would be another universe where Retan never used the MDAA and Romme was still standing; or there would be another where Iduran's still alive and the Dark Empire never existed.)

"Is Haraldur still alive?" asked Ryu questonabily. Zeros' sighed and nodded.

"He's alot harder to take out then we thought.... I need to be at my full power and I can take him down by myself.... but right know, I'm weak.... ki will only do so much damage to Haraldur.... I might have to call on some of my more extreme spells to banish him.... Haraldur will never truely be killed.... he's not human enough...." he said.

[Haraldur]

Haraldur reached the centre of the Dark continent, there was an eruption taking place nearby where the ground cracked because of earthquakes.

"Come out..." he whispered. There was a great sighing noise, and a dark blonde haired figure lowered down to the ground.

"My son..." said the entity. He then drew his sword, and Haraldur did likewise. Haraldur slashed towards the figure, but his blow was parried. Melkoth might take a while.

//Anyone can control Melkoth, he is just a normal NPC.//

[Trent]

"The planet..." said Zion. "...It's dying..."

"Ain't there anythin' we can do?" asked Xenai.

"Is New Forever strong enough?" asked Tsu. "To stabilize the planet?"

Seijin had appeared near them. "Depends. How much energy you got? How much can you take?" He had a grim, serious look on his face.

[Xorlak]

(Heh, I wanted to end this by tomorrow...   Okay, but just a few more days!)

Draven struggled to look up.  Another battle was ensuing far away...

"Blast it..."

He was too exhausted to even stand up, let alone fly.  He could do nothing but sit there and try to recover...

----

Melkoth leapt back and extended his blade horizontally before him, holding the tip with the other hand.  Black clouds engulfed the ravaged surroundings and great bolts of lightning began to strike Haraldur's vicinity like droplets of rain, tearing the ground to shreds...

[Zeros']

"Gaia..." he murmured. "Give me enough magical energy and I can summon the spirit of the planet.... she may be able to help us...." Zeros' stuggled to his feet, still feeling magical exhasution. Ryu ran quickly to his side and supported him with an arm of his shoulders. Zeros' flashed him a smile and grimced. Zeros' focused all his ki and magic outwards. Ryu helped by doing the same thing.

Soon, all around groups area, green and blue pinpricks of light that looked like fireflies started to swirl around them.

"Focus your energy outwards from your body...." Zeros' said. "I-If you can, we might be able to call the spirit of Midgard and Gaia to help stabilize the planet.... N-Normally I'd have enough eergy to do this, but the barrier...." Zeros' flattered for a moment, but Ryu quickly held him upright.

Off into the distance, more green and blue pinpricks of light started to appear, swirling and dancing in the nonexistant breeze. Both of Zeros' hands started to carve runes into the air, the runes glowing with an ethernal power.

D-Draven.... focus what's left of your magical energy outwards.... I-I'm tying to summon the spirit of the planet.... s-s-she might be the only one able to stop Haraldur and Melkoth.... he said through telepathy.

[Dude Man]

//Can the others see Seijin, or is he some spirt?//
It's true, Nevina really did do it... Rink thought to himself as he stared into the flame I better wait, to tell Duilin... He grabed the flame, and smothered it. And then hopped down.

"Spirt Of The Planet eh." Duilin said "Allright..."

Focus, my energy...okay... Duilin, then focused his energy out of his body...

Rink nodded and did the same.

[Haraldur]

//I can do it quickly if you like, Xorlak.//

Just as the bolts of lightning were about to hit him, one of Haraldur's parts split off, becoming a long metal staff. The lightning bolts were earthed through this, then the staff reattached.

Haraldur swung his sword towards Melkoth, despite the fact he was out of reach. As it swung, the sword lengthened, and was going to slice through Melkoth's abdomen...

[Trent]

//Seijin's real, but he can't give any energy. He's just an NPC.

"Do it," said Seijin.

Zion gave a heavy breath, and looked at himself. "Are these guys staying out because this is their last stand?"

"It'd make sense," said Xenai, looking Omega Zero over. "Looks like it's time for these guys to go."

Tsu started charging up energy, preparing for New Forever.

Zion held his hands straight up, and his body glowed pure white. Eternity Weapon had withdrawn, and its entire being was compressed into a small white ball above Zion's hands.

Xenai did the same thing, except turning pure black and withdrawing a ball of black energy.

"Tsu, get ready! Hold nothing back! Zeros' needs EVERY BIT we can give!" said Zion.

"Put everything you've got into this one!" said Xenai.

[Xorlak]

(No problem.  It's over when it's over.)

Draven's brow twitched as the horizon began to glow with points of blue and green.

"Spirit of the planet?  Ridiculous!  I refuse to waste my energy on such fairy tales!"

His teeth clenched as he struggled to stand up.

----

Melkoth swung his sword diagonally downwards and his blade lengthened as well.  The two blades met at the midpoint with a ferocious clang and he pulled his back in the opposite direction, using the momentum to spin around 360 degrees.  As he came around, he aimed the gigantic sword well under Haraldur's feet and it split the ground like paper.  

The opposite patches of ground the father and son were standing on began to separate and, as Melkoth brought his left hand to the sky, the crack billowed with lava, forming a wall between them.  He thrust his hand forward and the 100 foot tall wall of molten rock began to fall upon Haraldur...
