Dark Age Legends

[Xorlak]

The three orbs changed trajectories, now circling Draven in independent paths as electrons circle an atom.  Moving towards Zeros', Draven extended both arms to his sides.  A wall of flame began to form 100 feet to the left and right of him.  Looking from above, the flames began to rotate in a counter-clockwise fashion, soon completely encircling the three fighters on the sides.  The flame then began to move above and below them.  In a few seconds, Draven, Tsar, and Zeros' would be locked in a hollow sphere of flame 100 feet in radius-- a death cage of sorts...

----

3 minutes...

Jayce lowered himself from the sky, landing on the branch of a large oak in the forest below, still keeping his gaze on the battle above.

"Genma?  Yes.   With all the noise you're making down there, I was wondering if you were trying to distract the fighters above..."

He glanced downward and smirked at the floating face, hoping to get some type of frown at his sarcasm.

"So why are you here.  Business or... entertainment?"

He motioned his head towards the flashes in the sky.

----

Iduran looked up at Haraldur.

"Gah! NO!  Not that again--"

He jumped back, expecting to be thrown up into the air, placing his hand on his head.

"Hah... er... I mean... if they're fighting in the air, perhaps it would be better to observe from the ground, you know..."

He began to fidget with his right gauntlet.

"It's not like I'm... er... afraid of heights or anything... no sir... not me... hah... because I would fly if I could, you know?  But seeing that I don't know any levitation spells, we'll just have to walk... on the ground.   Yes, on the nice solid ground... just like normal people... normal people... uh huh..."

[Haraldur]

"As you wish," said Haraldur, grinning in an almost sardonic fashoin for a moment, before realising his rudeness. "Do you wish us to merely avoid all that happens over there, or do you wish us to interfere?"

Haraldur lowered himself gently to the ground, and walked in the direction that Iduran had indicated earlier.

[Cyber Wolf]

Tsar was simply baffled at Dravens move.

"heh.. and I'm the 'maniac'... Tsar said with spite.

He then consentrated on his new task-seperating Zeros' from his sword.

Tsar consentrated his entire mind on Zeros' sword. Seeing and comprehending every aspect of it. He became one with  the sword. He then began to make the weapon move just as easily as he would his arm.. but Zeros' still had firm grasp of it..

[Dude Man]

Pophin has ran away and Duilin is hurt

Duilin opened his eyes and looked around, he thought he herd people comeing

"I'm hurt! Help...." Duilin groaned

-=-=-=-=-=-

Pophin stoped running. And went back to the camp. The two soilders looked at him and then one opened the tent to wake up Veronika. A slaping sound was herd and then the soilder walked out blushing. A few minutes later Veronika came out of the tent and looked at Pophin.

"I found something...." He said to her

"What!? Were!?" Veronika replied

"Come with me, it would be best you if you brought a weapon."

Veronika went in the tent and picked up her weapons and followed Pophin back to were Duilin was

[Zeros']

Genma had a sort of smirk on his face. "Business my friend. Well at least YOUR smart enough to notice me. Draven is too concedied to notice anyone thats hidden...heh heh." He started to laugh.

----

Zeros' notice that Tsar was trying to remove his sword from his hand. He looked up towards the Outsider, knowing that blow wouldn't do near enough to do anyone in, maybe a small child, but otherwise no.

He turned his back and sheathed his sword, but still keeping his hand on it. He phased out then back in about 10 feet from Tsar, hand still on his sword. He spead towards the bluish outsider. He phased out about 10 feet from Tsar's positon then back in right behind them.

"Stay out of this."  

He held his hand at the back of the outsider and forced a powerful blast of ki energy into his body, knowing he couldn't take much more because he knew sucking in all that Psi energy almost broke him to his limits.

----

Qeni and Zev sensed something off towards the direction of the cave.

We can't help Zeros' now, we might as well help Duilin and the others who are still there. Qeni nodded at her wolf companion. Zev noticed that Lia was flying was about to fly right into the flame wall that Draven just made.

//I hope this is ok...Im not TECHNICALLY controlling her.\\

Zev spead towards Lia, making it just before she hit the barrier and caught her between his teeth. He thrust his head back and threw Lia onto his back with a thump.

Hold on. You don''t want to fall off, also don't worry about your staff, Qeni got it. Qeni appeared infront of Zev, holding Lia's staff. They spead towards the cave where Duilin and the others were.

[Cyber Wolf]

Duilins not in a cave.. He's in the woods, wounded. Seth and Nevina only a few feet away

Zeros' blast hit Tsar easily, and wounded him quite severely, knocking him back several yards. This blast brought Tsar back to logical thinking. Almost as though Tsar had switched personas. He returned to his former state.
Tsar was in critical condition now, though he still didn't show any signs of injury other than shortness of breath.
He could not escape because of Dravens Flame cage, so Tsar decided he'd make do.
He flew up, about 20 feet from the top of flames.
He no longer had enough Psi in his own being, and the flaming barrier greatly slowed his ability to channel Psi from the Earth or Moon, So he decided to draw from Zeros'.
Tsar was not taking much energy at a time, so Zeros' couldnt really tell energy was being taken from him.
Tsar then focused the Psi on his wounds, and little by little, he began to repair himself.
______________________________________________________________

Seth put down his Falchion, figuring he was merely being fooled by his own senses. Nevina did the same. They then ran through the bushes and discovered Duilin, clinging to life.
Nevina kneeled down next to the fallen comrad, and began a healing spell, while Seth tried to comfort him.

[Zeros']

Zeros' noticed Tsar was trying to do something, but what? He didn't give himself time to think, he could deal with Draven later, Tsar was becoming a pest.

"Don't think so!" Zeros' phased out then back in about 30 feet up and started to fly the rest of the way, but when he reached about 10 feet away, he stopped and unsheathed his katana.

"YAMA-SEN-KEN!" He yelled out as he slashed the air and several vaccum blades flew right towards there target, the now severally wounded Tsar.

----

Qeni's sensed jumped. She was about to connect a link, but she noticed Zev had a worried look on his face also. She nearly turned back around and continued flying, they both gained speed, knowing Duilin was barely clinging to life.

[Dude Man]

Pophin and Veronika arived were Duilin was. They looked at Nevina and Seth.

"Who are you to?! Get away from that man, he is comeing with us!" Veronika says, Veronika had her Auto Shotgun ready, but not aimed at them, Pophin was standing about 5 feet away from Veronika stareing at Nevina and Seth, his hand was cluching on his Rapier, and he was trembling.

[Cesque]

(WHO THE HELL hurt Duilin, could someone please explain this to me? someone from Draven/Tsar/Zeros battle?)

"What the...?" - Cheetah suddenly paniced a bit. - "What is happening?! Someone attacking us?"

He readied his spear in case someone is going to attack them.

[Dude Man]

(Cesque, did you not read any of my posts? Okay here is what happened, Pophin was sneaking around, Duilin thought he saw something so he went to go find out what it was so Pophin ran off abit and then threw a spear, He was going to kill him but then he herd more people comeing so he ran away, Nevina and Seth went to Duilin, and now Pophin returned with Veronika and they want to take Duilin with them)

[Cesque]

(all right... I got confused Wink)

[Trent]

"I've got to do something," thought Zion.

He pulled his arms to his side, and started to charge up a spell. An aura of all colors started to appear around his body.
--- --- ---
Xenai looked over at Zion, and started to seriously consider stepping in. "He's not gonna do it. Or is he?"

[Zeros']

They looked down and they say Duilin, Nevina, Seth, Pophin and Veronika. Zev nodded to Qeni as they touched down near the 5 warriors.

Zev went alittle farther and sat Lia down on the ground, while Qeni landed behind everyone. She looked at Duilin and saw Nevina was doing the best she could, he could last out for awhile, as long as Nevina doesn't get distracted.

Zev came and stood by Qeni's side, Qeni started to pet her companion as she read his thoughts.

Don't worry, its ok. Duilin won't die just yet...we have to take care of these two Dark Empire generals.

Zev nodded and started to growl at Veronika, his teeth showing.

"Well, Well...more Dark Empire generals...What do you want here!?" Qeni said to the two generals.

[Cyber Wolf]

Tsar, his senses hieghted further than normal from his injures, grabbed his Quarterstaff and twirled it like a baton, spinning and spinning..
Eventually it formed a small cyclone and it swallowed Zeros' vaccum blades.
He thought a bit, and realized Zeros' wasn't going to let him gather any more Psi.. He must try to defeat Zeros' in melee combat. Tsar was well aware of how poor his strength was, but he figured he had zerod' beat in agility.

Tsar headed downwards, then headed back up at Zeros', traveling at 94 mph, his quarterstaff aimed to hit Zeros' in the gut.
______________________________________________________________
Seth drew his Falchion and jumped upwards, then came down, blade first, aiming for Veronikas head.
_______________________________________________________________
Nevina started to get up to fight the Soldiers, but then saw the two new figures appear and thought it best to continue trying to heal Duilin.

[Cesque]

After understanding the situation, Cheetah (who was still a bit sleepy but the attack on Duilin was one big system shock for him) turned himself into the ice serpent form and with full force breathed freezing cold air toward Veronika.
