Dark Age Legends

[Trent]

He turned around, catching the spear in his left hand, holding Zero Weapon in his right. Seeing Ven go low, he went once more for the head in a quick horizontal arc that would make his arm sore after the fight. If things went by schedule, their attacks would connect simultaneously.

[D. Ein]

The Elder's grin vanished.
-"Enough of these games!"
Six huge bone spikes fell onto both of the creatures, three on the moon beast, and three onto the razorback. Almost instantly, a large cage of bones fell onto Marshal, with a powerful protective ward around it. It was quite like the one in which Ein was imprisoned.
-"Now then... Shall we get to business?"
The Elder sat down into a large luxurious-looking chair, facing the bone cage.
-"Marshal, you must've noticed this..." He looked down at the gaping hole in his stomach. "...and you must understand, that those who have the power to control life and death are the closest you can get to gods. Soon, the Continent will no longer be in disarray..." The Elder's eyes began to wander. "and all of it will belong to only one monarch. Everything, everyone under the supreme rule of Kronos, the Marshal of Kandarinian Souvereignity... That shall be humanity's golden age."
The Elder got up, and came closer to the bone cage. He looked directly in Marshal's eyes with a piercing stare.
-"But, as all wars, this one will have its losses. You, on the other hand, don't need to be one of them. You can be one of us... Although even if you decline, you will still eventually be with us. Only this way, you can still retain your free will. So, what will it be? Will you join our cause and survive, or will you oppose us and fall, like the rest?"

Steorra glided along with Darak.
-"Bandervil? Never heard of it. Really, though, it matters not. Let's just get there, and I shall see for myself... Then we'll take care of this little... situation..." She glanced at Vincent's limp body.

"An hour or so later, I arrived at my glorious kingdom, and let the platform down. It crumbled into individual bones, then to dust. All from but a thought from me.
Taking my time, I made my way towards my palace in the core island. They'd better have completed the assignment...
I walked into a side room branching off from the main hall. It was a small study, with a wooden table, shelves filled with books, and paintings on the walls. Everything one needs for a good read. However, this was not the whole purpose of the room... I walked over to one of the shelves, and pulled a book with my glorious land's symbol on it.
A bright light filled the room, and I dissipated into thin air."

[Zeros']

Zeros' just silently stood by, his anger slowly ebbing away. He knew he could take on both of the two and probably win, but he decided to let his friends handle them.

---

Allen landed on a roof nearby and silentl observed the fighting from above.

[Haraldur]

Makhno reached Redvik and landed on the fortress. His horse dematerialised as he jumped off, and searched fo an entrance, which he found after a while. He stood outside the entrance, and a new sword materialised in his hand. He shouted into the fortress:

"This is Nestor Ivanovich Makhno! You have 5 minutes to join the Revolution, or die!"

______________________________________________________________________

Though they did not know much about the outside world, the soldiers and the technicians and scientists had heard about the Aspyes, and of Makhno. Most of them were inclined to ditch the Empires. However, all the officers and some loyalist soldiers were against this. Inside the remnants of the fortress, the officers and loyalists fought against the majority of the soldiery, and in a few minutes the revolutionaries were victorious: and taking great pleasure in executing their former officers, repaying them well for past ill treatment.

They opened the door and rushed past Makhno carrying many light, and not so light, weapons, and then gave him the revolutionary salute: the clenched fist. He gave them a revolutionary salute. He saw they were few and some wounded.

"Make your way to Gief. I suggest that you modify your uniforms to make sure they understand you will not attack them."

The soldiers and scientists left, riding to Gief on little floating discs made by a few of the scientists.

A horse rematerialising below him, Makhno rode on the air North, towards Bandervil.

Durruti reached Alterna and rested on the air, using it as a soft cushion. Below him, construction work in Alterna was continuing. To the East, the towers of Laus could be seen.

______________________________________________________________________

Haraldur droppedout of the air, landing close to where Zeros', Duilin, Valos, Pophin, Nex, Ven and Xenai were.

"Missed me?"

[Burton_projects]

"Its time to tell you guys something." Nick looked towards the group. " I never wanted to fight, No one ever does just the ones that wish to kill. I never wanted to go to war, its not about doing something for my life, its for protecting lives from being taken, so they live life. I dont people to go through the pain, and have no home nothing but a brother by my side. living in a life with nothing bt yourself. I can hold it in anymore I do not wish to kill for glory only for the lives of others. When I think something is right i do it, when wrong i stop, but that is only my opion... I cant make things right or wrong only try, i will try untill i am killed and i am no more. If people cant just stop ware then try not to start it. If people just try this will be better a place that is better. Nick started to walk again.

---

Calavous listened to the passion of Nicks voice. " He right lets try to make allies with whom were enimies. If we try we might make things better." Calavous didn't want pointless wars either just peace for the sake of others.

[D. Ein]

Steorra turned towards Nick and Calavous with a disgusted face.
-"If you want to join the Aspyes, be my guest. Or maybe, it would seem, you will be one of those people - the people that change sides more often than I change my hairstyle..."
She turned away, and continued flying.
-"Then again, you might have some truth in your words. If you want, you can go try. We'll continue our way to Bandervil."

[Xorlak]

(Haraldur: Vincent evacuated Redvik when he took the ships.  There's no one left there.  'Course, didn't do them much good in the end.  Heh...)

(Ein: Remember of course, that Steorra originally joined up with Vincent's group at Bandervil.  Heh...)

Vincent began to gurgle incoherent babblings in his unconscious state...

"*Mumble* *mumble*... High General... *mumble* ... lead into gold... *mumble* *mumble* ..."

----

The two could feel the platform moving downwards...  There was no light at all.  They didn't need it...

There was a loud *click* and the downward descent stopped.  There was a tremor as the boulders before them parted, seemingly resisting the effort they had not been forced to do for several years.

The two exited into the dim torchlight.  The air was stagnant-- a repulsive mix of vapors nearly unbreathable to surface dwellers.  Three figures now approached them.  The front most was hunched over and wrapped in robes.  He moved slowly with the help of a cane, as if dragging something heavy behind him.  The golden crown on his head glimmered in the torchlight... but his non-human face was more striking...  He was a lizard.  His toe claws clicked on the stone floor with each step.  The two figures behind him were the same, save for their massive body armor wrapped around their reptilian bodies.

They stopped ten feet from the two and fell to the floor, groveling deeply.  The crowned one spoke:

"Dark Emperor Retan, Prince Jaysse Retan, welcome back to Mizar, my lordsss..."

[Burton_projects]

Nick looked a Steorra. " This is not about sides I could care less on which side im on, this is about inocent lives that are at stake becuase of these fueds. These fueds are for power, but have any of you thought of the people that are in the middle... Probally not." Nick started to run back to were they left to talk to the Aspyes.

---

"Nick wait." Calavous said but his attempt faild. " Its useless to get to him. I know ill see him later.

[D. Ein]

//She did? I thought it was at Redvik. Also, no one told her that the place she joined Vincent at was Bandervil. At least I don't think so... Bah, i'm a noob anyway Razz\\

[TK Game Boy]

(//OI! I've been distracted so much, I forgot about this RP. Well hopefully by June the distractions should come to an end.)

Quadricentennial was left in awe for a while after being approached by the floating madman. He never saw such a man before. He snapped out of the state to realized he was headed to another destination.

"Where is he going?" Quadricentennial ran towards teh beach, jumping over dead corpses that have sadly died once again. He looked around but there was nothing but corpses and bloody sand. He saw a small hut and ran towards it. It was trashed everywhere but he found a small boat.

"This boat survived whatever catastrophe happened here. This boat must be sturdy." He grabbed it and set it on the water and set sailed towards the direction of where the floating man went.

[Dude Man]

"You've never heard of Bandervil?" Darak asked, with a quick laugh. "That's were we came from. You need to pay more attention to things."

He then watched Nick leave. "Newb..."

He listened to Vincent's mumbles and grinned. "Gold eh?" Darak then looked ahead; the large broken fortress could be spotted from a distance. "Ah ha, we are almost there..."

----

"Hey let go of my spear!" Pophin shouted. He tried to pull it back, but he quickly felt a sharp cutting pain in his lower half, and then spotted Xenai slashing his sword right as his head. He then began to walk backwards from the two. A white glowing light appeared were he was slashed.

"No fair! I don't want to go back in!" Pophin cried. The lights from his cuts took over his entire body until he turned into a white laser that shot right back into Valos. The spear however stood in Xenai's hand.

//Since Zeros' is being a noob and ignoring me and I don't have time to wait for him, I'll just have Nex take over the fight now.\\

Nex then flue towards Ven and Xenai, swinging his scythe across the both of them, so they would both be cut.

Rink finally arrived at the scene. "Holy shit, what's goin' on here?"

----

Valos then began to charge some type of glowing cyan energy into his sword.

Duilin slowly got up, and wiped some blood off his face. A golden glow came into his hands, and his eyes began to give off a slight glow...

"You just don't know when to quit do ya!?" Valos laughed. He then pointed his glowing sword at him. "Come on...I dare ya!"

"I've had it with you Valos. You and your stupid 'master' and your bullshit about my father you keep tossing at me, and this crap about my demonic side being good." Duilin said angrily. "I'm not stupid Valos, I'm thirty-six not twelve."

Valos grinned and then started laughing. Duilin continued to charge his demonic energy and Valos still charged his...

//I'll update Marshal later....\\

[Zeros']

// Ah shit. I read the part where Nex attacked Zeros' again. I thought Nex had sent the energy blast and Ven intercepted that one. -.-; \\

Zeros' sighed and uncrossed his arms, clenching his fists, before he fulled calmed down.

"Haraldur," he said, nodding, with a calm voice. He had made a smart move. Haraldur knew that he wouldn't attack him here. He could simply wipe out the whole town with a single spell. "To what do I owe this pleasure?" he said calmly. Plus, it also didn't look like he wanted to fight... Now. He wouldn't want all those innocent peoples deaths on his hands.

---

Allen, from his nearby position, watched the battle. He knew all about Valos, Nex and Phophin. He had seen them before when he still worked regularly inside the Dark Empire's castle in the alchemic division.

He had honestly never knew Nex was a demon. Sure, he came off a little strange, but a demon... He never knew.

But, he continued it observe the battle. He knew he wouldn't be much use. All of the people down there were much too powerful for him to fight alone.

[D. Ein]

-"Don't you tell me to pay more attention! I pay enough as it-- WHAM!!!"
Steorra flew right into a huge rock, knocking herself down to the ground.
-"Uhh...", she groaned. "My head..."
She tried to get up, falling again.
-"Hey guys... someone mind lending a hand?", she said weakly. It is doubtful anyone would've heard her, though.

"I was in a small confined stone area, deep beneath the earth. In fact, it was at least 6 KM down below the sea level. A series of portals on the walls open up above in Kandarin provided ventilation. Other than the portals, there was a stone pedestal in the middle of the room, some robes next to it, and a wooden table with two curious items. They were a book and a staff, but both of them were translucent. It's time for the ceremony to begin...
I took off my armour and put it to the side of the pedestal, and put on the robes. They were black, red, and beige in colour. A very large collar was behind my head, as well as two bands - one around my shoulders and one down at the feet. Everything was ready.
I lay down at the pedestal. The portals closed the minute I touched it. I only had so much air left..."

There was another gap in the entries.

[Trent]

Xenai snickered in celebration of his and Ven's victory. Didn't last long. He looked to see Nex coming in fast. He dropped backwards, landing on his hands (Think Voldo for this position), Zero Weapon between his right hand and the ground. Now that Nex was open as well, he pulled back, and shot forth with a spring-like kick toward the head, Zero Weapon still in hand and ready for any kind of follow-up.

[Burton_projects]

Calavous stuck out his hand to Steorra. " There you go." He helped her up.

---

Nick was near the town he looked up and saw the gaint memorial. He saw a man atop it. He ran to it and called to the man. " Hello sir can I talk to your leader"
Nick stared at the gun ready to run at a split second.
