Dark Age Legends

[Trent]

Zion came up fast upon Xenai, watching Draven's aura ignite. He was going to kill Iduran if someone didn't do something. It was obvious to him that Iduran was the good guy in this conflict.

Zion tightly gripped his Eternity Weapon, letting some of its light flow into his body, and giving him enough energy to attack Xenai. "Eat steel, Omega!" came the battle cry as Zion came up on him.

"Wha...?" Xenai turned around just in time to feel the force of an upward slash cut into the body armor on his torso, underneath his clothes, and sending him back for far distances, crashing through the ice as he flies over it, but not going into the ocean, like Sonic the Hedgehog running on water at high speed. When he runs out of momentum, he finds himself laying down on the ice.

"Gotta do something...!" Zion thought to himself as he absorbed all the light from his Eternity Weapon, dropped it beside him, and gripped the Zero Weapon shoved into the ground. He tried his best to absorb the energy, and sure enough, as light swallows darkness in real life, the darkness converts to light and starts to flow into Zion's body.

Xenai gets to his feet. "You're dead, bastard!" He flew toward Zion at high speed, with intense rage flowing through him.

Zion freaked out. "Crap, crap...!" His eyes then narrowed as he picked his Eternity Weapon back up, and forced all the light he absorbed into it. The Eternity Weapon was now gold, overflowing with that much light. He slashed downwards at Xenai as he came up to him, and sent him into the icy water.

"Your turn," said Zion quietly to himself as he turned around to face the distant Draven, tightly gripping his Eternity Weapon. He was ready for one more go at him.

[Zeros']

"Now now Draven...you really should control that temper." Genma floated towards Draven a few more feet then phased out then back in behind Draven.

He grapped the hand that held his fireball and held it towards his own head. Genma also held his other hand right under the small of his back.

"Unless you want to be forever scolded by even the smallest heat source, release Iduran." He then looked over Draven's shoulder and yelled out something to Jayce.

"Oh come on now Jayce...you know I won't die that easily...heh." Genma started to do his trademarked laugh.

Zeros' looked at the water and sighed.

"Go ahead and try. Ive broken every bone in my body more then 3 times over my hundreds of years as a warrior."

Zeros' lowered his sword down about an inch and reached the base of his spine. He charged his sword with ki energy //Ki is the opposite of Psi, Ki is from the body, Psi is from the spirits\\ and thrust it as hard as he could into the man's body.

Qeni and Zev were watching Gelu summon the ice spirit and decided they should do something. They both hovered over and intercepted the spirit.

"Leave now." Spoke Qeni, she didn't like fighting one bit.

[Cyber Wolf]

//Actually from what I understand Ki and Psi are the same. Psi comes from bodies too, as Tsar was summoned energy from himself before. Everything has psi in it. the Moon does not have a spirit, yet Tsar draws psi from it. ah well. A Stabs a stab//

Zeros' jab hit Tsar in the base of the neck, severing his spine.

Tsar had lost all control over everything from his neck down.

But this was no concern to Tsar. He could kill Zeros' without his body..

The Psi around Zeros' tightened, with enough force to burst Zeros' heart. Tsar then took the ki energy that was thrust into him, along with psi left from the flame barrier, and used it to create a new being.

It had no face, and lacked detail, looked like a blue puppet, and thus is exactly what it was.

Tsar had full control of the Psi figure, and had it form a rapier sword, 3 feet in length.

It then slashed wildly at Zeros'.

[Mark of the Dragon]

Shin dispatched his sword and his ice aura, then looked around. He sensed Jayce's aura on the island...

"Nevina, tell me, have you seen any generals of the Dark Empire around here?"

Jayce...Shin would never forgive him for killing his family, and for leaving a permanent scar on his back in the shape of a crescent moon. But more importantly...his family's treasured spear was taken. It was time for revenge...

Revenge is a dish best served cold

[Cesque]

Cheetah turned into cheetah formed and hurried with all his speed toward the source of fire in the sky...

-----

"Children should not teach master mages how to deal with magic." - Gelu looked in direction of Queni and Zev. They must have surely been of some aid to that demon. - "Do not try to come in my way!"

He moved few stepped toward the children, prepparing an orb of frost with his hands, then released it to fly like a fireball at extreme speed, leaving trail of cold fog.

[Xorlak]

(Eh? Genma has the fireball pointed at his own head?)

"What do you think you're doing, you senile old fool?!"

Draven flashed the ancient warrior a cold look of irritated rage.  If looks could kill... he was about to...

Jayce had seen it all now...  Sword supported on his shoulder, he began to slowly float towards Draven, Genma, and Iduran.  Now why would Genma try to save that worthless old man...?

Draven held Iduran up tightly with his remaining arm.

"Unhand me, you worthless scum!"

Draven let loose the crimson orb into Genma's face.  It was enough force to blow a normal man's head clean off...

----

(Hmmm... set the water around the entire island on fire... lame...

Heh, I suppose Draven, who is an actual fire mage, can snap his fingers and incinerate the island itself in an instant?  Let's tone done the catastrophic spells a bit.  If you want to do an attack of that magnitude, at least have your character take a few posts to gather the energy.  And be descriptive!)

Neptra stopped.  There appeared to be a burning wall of flame directly above her.  She raised both hands to the water's surface, causing a spout of water to shoot up, breaking through the flames.  As the water rained back down, the rest of the flame disappeared.  She rose to the surface.  As her feet were even with the top of the water, a perfect circle of water froze underneath her, giving her a spot to stand on in the middle of the ocean.

Two black specs were flying away northward.  The assault on the ship had apparently stopped.  Had they simply given up or had her presence scared them off?  Jayce or Draven would probably pursue them, but Neptra was different...  She had accomplished what she had been ordered to do.  Nothing more was necessary.  She folded her arms and the disc of ice began to float back towards the great black ship...

[Haraldur]

//The two Haraldurs have now passed away from the northern point of Romme.//

[Zeros']

Zev stepped infront of Qeni and grabbed the orb in his teeth. He burst the cold orb with his white fangs; the cold air disappatied...

"We warned you..." Qeni pointed a finger forwards and Zev charged at Gelu's head, teeth glaring. Qeni also charged a ball of something...it had no definate shape or color.

She also threw this at Gelu.

----

Zeros' was amused at Tsar assult. Some of his ribs were crushed, but not enough to disable him. The puppet slashed at his back, but Zeros' was able to grab the blade before it hit him.

Zeros' charged his sword with ki energy and broke Tsar's chain with his sword. He phased out then back in behind the puppet and thrust the sword through his chest.

----

Genma was an old martial arts master, a fireball, even aimed at his head, did almost nothing.

"Draven, Draven...You still understand nothing." Genma reached around Draven's chest and thrust a finger at a point about 2 inches blow his neck on the right side of his chest.

"This is the full body cat-tounge. It effectively weak VS heat. Even luke warm water will scold you."

Genma started to laugh. "If you want it to be released, give me Iduran. Or you will forever be scalded by heat, your forte."

[Cyber Wolf]

The Puppets sword melted in Zeros' hand, then turned into a spear in a milisecond, with the point in the space that middle of Zeros' skull is/was occupying.

As for the thrust, the puppet was uneffected. Its body hardened around the sword, making it difficult, if not impossible to pull it out.

//The Psi puppet is invinsible in a way. You cannot kill it through normal means, as it is not a living thing. Shooting a puppet  will not stop it, you must go for the puppet master. Tsar must be weakened to the point he has to draw the psi from the puppet into his body to survive for the puppet to die, or you must destroy the psi itself by some means//
______________________________________________________________

Nevina said, "No.. not a high ranking general anyways. Some woman with a.. projectile weapon of some sort.. came by and took Duilin and wounded Seth, but their both fine now.. Why do you ask?"
______________________________________________________________

Seth swung his Falchion a bit, then decided to test a new move..

He kneeled down on the ground, one hand pointed to his left, the other, the  one with the sword in it, pointed forward. He muttered an incantation and the sword began to glow with a warming, yellow aura. "Moon Sabre..." Seth muttered in awe.

[Zeros']

"You under estimate my abilities, Outsider." Zeros' cracked his fingers on his left hand for a second then thrust his hand where he saw his sword stuck, in a literal 0.1 seconds, he had jabbed over 100 times, effectively releasing his sword.

"I will not lose this sword...It is my only rememberance of my mother and father.

Zeros' phased out then back in right behind Tsar.

"Puppet master...what does your future hold?" Zeros' sheathed his sword and slowly flew away.

"Try to find another purpose. Your soul is hurting, you don't even want to be here, or even under Draven's command. Find me agian when you find a purpose." He said as he looked at Tsar.

He flew down and floated to Qeni's height.

"Hey there girl..." He patted her on her head then hugged her. She looked up at him and smiled.

FLASHBACK
-----------------------
Several hundred years ago...a small village near the future Romme.

A village was burning. The thached rooms and wooden walls were turning to embers. Many villagers slay slain in cold blood as steel connected to flesh.

A father viciously faught with a sword longer then his own body, he was a very tall man, reaching heights of 6'3. The bandits surrounded the man, but one by one they were slain till only there leader was left.

The leader was a very tall man, but his eyes held a sad look. He deftly slain the fighting father. This child looked on as his father was slain in cold blood.

The leader walked to the child and patted him on the head.

"Sorry 'bout this kid..." He handed him his fathers katana. The bandit leader walked away and then collapsed on the ground; dead. Everyone involved in the raid was slain. His father, mother, sister and brother.

An old man (Genma) appeared to the child. "You have much untapped power..." Genma took the crying child and the sword away from the village, even more so, his sister and brothers bodies disappeared from his sight and seemed to be dragged to heaven.

END FLASHBACK
---------------------

"Brother..." She hugged his as well and started to cry on his shoulder.

[Cesque]

Gelu closed his eyes, rised his hand, and stopped the spell flying toward him in mid-air few meters before it reached it's target, causing it to explode instantly, missing target.

"Magic... magic is no match for me."

He opened his eyes and looking at Zev running toward him, he pointed a thinger and began to shoot small icicles, solid as steel, at the kid, one after another, like a machine gun.

-----

Cheetah finaly reached the area. Many folks were there - but in the air, he noticed Draven holding someone... Iduran. Around him, some woman was phasing around, looking a bit weird.

Cheetah didn't even bother trying to speak in this situation, he turned himself into a wyvern, flew to Draven's high (but kept distance, it was hard to resist the heat at close range), then spat a bolt of acid at him. Not really sure if it would work, but at least he might be distracted. Altough this was also not too possible. Oh well.

[Haraldur]

//The two Haraldur's are nearing Víkingagarđ.//

[Xorlak]

(Haraldur, perhaps you should describe their travels rather than mention them as side comments.  Heh...)

----

Draven stared Genma straight in the face.

"Heh heh heh..."

He smirked, and then bellowed out in uncontrollable laughter.

"AH HA HA HA HAAAH!!"

He tossed Iduran towards the ground like a rag doll, and the now unconscious old knight began to plumet hundreds of yards, spiraling towards the ground.

"Are you serious?  I suppose being hundreds of years old does make one senile.  Never have I heard of such a ridiculous claim!"

His smile instantly disappeared, and he assumed a cold posture of hate.  His right hand moved like lightning, grabbing the old master by the throat.  His fire aura blew his hair as he spoke.

"You must understand your place, old man.  Your pathetic little spells, kung fu magic, or whatnot will not work on a High General of the Dark Empire, your superior.  I don't care if you are a personal arm of the Emperor, you just attacked a superior officer.  That, my friend, is treachery.  And that, you will die for."

At that point he exploded, quite literally.  The dim aura he had a second ago burst forth ten fold, emitting intense crimson light.  The gray sky (just recovering from the blizzard) turned blood red.  The snow below disappeared layer by layer...

----

Jayce watched the scene, half confused, half amused.  Genma a traitor?  Unlikely.  He probably just has some beef with Draven.  Who doesn't hate him?  Jayce smirked at a thought that occurred to him an hour ago...

Bah, whatever.  Genma would probably make a better general, anyway.  Better than a miserable human...

He turned his gaze to the south, ignoring the multiple battles, the onlookers...  Something was there... a cold presence... something vaguely familiar...

An evil grin overcame the dark man's face.

"... Aritan..."

[Haraldur]

//Describe? OK.//

The sea and air were still, and that is because that is how the two Haraldur's wanted it.

[Cesque]

Wyvern-form Cheetah hurried toward Iduran, grabbed with him with claws, and with some effort managed to land several feet away on the ground, under the burning sky, further from the fight or it's spectators.

-----

Gelu wondered what made Draven lose control over hostage, but he didn't really have much time - suddenly, a light burst out from Draven.  A bit panicaly, Gelu tried to cover his whole face with the scar, then with a sign of hand, surrounded himself with a shield of ice, separating him from the rest of world like a window. The ice was dark and didn't let too much light in.

(as an albino, light was naturally dangerous to Gelu)
