Dark Age Legends

[Xorlak]

Draven continued the mad spiral towards Zion, raising the blade just before impact...

----

(Yes, Iduran can do a few spells, but he needs a sword to channel them...  Feel free to make up your own countries, just don't overdo it.)

Iduran assumed a psudo-martial arts stance, for the poor old knight had no weapon and was totally defenseless.  This man did save him from Draven, but for what reason?  He didn't exactly look like he was on the good side...

("Blast it!  Where did Zeros' hide my blade?")

"For what purpose?" he replied after Cheetah asked his question.

[Trent]

"Think fast, Zion!" Zion thought to himself as Draven approached. There it was. That was the time to strike, as Draven raised his sword up. He was so open right there.

Draven seemed to use fire a lot. So ice would be most appropriate for this. Within the short window of time, he mixed some ice magic with the remaining light in his Eternity Weapon. The blade now overflowed with a swirl of gold and ice blue.

"Haaaa!!!" came the battle cry as Zion thrusted the sword forward toward Draven's chest with all of his might, and the light energy inside his body put behind it.

Xenai only watched from where he was.

[Zeros']

"The emperor wishes to speak to you about your blade, Iduran."

Genma didn't move from his position. He was more then enough for these two. He seemed to disappear as he sped towards Cheetah.

He stood behind Cheetah with a smirk on his face. He tapped a spot on the back of Cheetah's neck and made him drop to the ground, paralyzed.

"Now if you don't want that to happen to you Iduran, come with me. I promise no harm will come to you."

[Cesque]

He stood behind Cheetah with a smirk on his face. He tapped a spot on the back of Cheetah's neck and made him drop to the ground, paralyzed.

Against rules, but let say you succesfuly done it Razz

[Cyber Wolf]

Tsar felt like stabbing himself with his own psi to end his life on this plane, but the hold the Dark Empire had on him prevented him from such an action.

"I have to be set free..."

Tsar flew to where Draven was.

"Draven! I demand you release me at once!.. I can't continue this.. I hate you. I hate the Empire, I hate the Master! I refuse to continue the assault on Romme." Tsar demanded.

Seth smiled. "Lead the way!" He said, as he swished his Moon Sabre-ed Falchion.

Nevina waited for Shin to react, as she reached her arms around his body.

[Cesque]

As Seth, Nevina, Duilin and Shin were gathered and Seth agreed to follow Duilin to go to Veronika's camp, a tired, wounded, wet wizard headed toward them, mumbling some words under nose.

"Damn it... Dark Empire fleet... Someone messing up with the tides... All the pleasure of being waken up washed away into the middle of ocean - which then begins to burn suddenly... Wandering in shadows trying not to be detected by the new-arrived bastards searching for someone known..."

He headed closer to the group.

"...but I am NOT DEAD YET!"

Obviously, in the mentally and physicaly exhausted mage still something from Scorchy could be seen. He gathered all his strength, made a solemn looking posture, as if nothing happen to him and looked around, noticing that - to his strange dissappointment - Duilin was still alive.

"Going somewhere, you guys? A hunt for some Dark Empire freaks? Need some help?"

[Dude Man]

"Oh hey Scorch, were have you been? Ah nevermind, were goign over to a camp ground were I was taken. Want to come along?" Duilin says. He's a bit pleased he is here, but he is pleased that he has Scorchs magic on his side, not him.

"HEAY, DERE dood! Howz it goin?" Slurs a Drunk soilder at Pophin how was tied up.

Pophin then looks at him, noticeing the man is indeed drunk. "I don't supose you could help me out friend?" He says

"Shure! Eye CAN! I'll jist, tak owt me nife and cut dem ropes off ove ya!" The drunk then started to cut the rope at the position of his arm, he cut the rope off and he cut Pophin's arm.

"OOOOWWW!" He yelled in pain, grabing his arm, it was bleeding. "You idiot!" He swung his Scitmar right at the drunk's face, killing him. He then looked around, nobody was there. He then went into a near by room (Duilin's) he then removed the drunk's armor and put it on himself. He then, smacked some dirt on his face, and dabed some blood, from his hand onto his face, he tore abit off of his cape and wraped it around the cut on his arm, he removed his cape, and stuffed it in his shirt, makeing him look abit fat. It would take a smart eye, and somebody who has know him for awile to tell that he was Pophin. He draged the dead body and put it over by a different one.

"Well, Pophin, I say you ARE a smart one." He then cracked his knuckles, and then wander over to near out side of the cave. He spoted Nevina and Shin.

"Hmmm....I best not go to far or they might find me out...I'll just make small talk with the other soilders..." He walks around over to wear a few of the other soilders are.

"Hey what was all that yellin' about?" One soilder asked him.

"Ooo, that was me, I got a bad cut on my arm cause I feal on a broken sword. I'm okay now..." Pophin then walked away from them, he was abit worried about being caught. He went back into the room he was in before and started thinking for awile.

[Zeros']

//I can always change it, but oh well\\

Zeros' looked up at Tsar and saw him, he smiled. He phased in and then back out.

"Looks like you've made your choice."

Zeros' grasped his katana in his hand then then stabbed it to where Tsar's heart would be.

[Haraldur]

The ship was going at a moderate speed: they did not want to appear threatening to anyone. The wind was in their favour.

Then suddenly a long large blue scaly lizard thing burst out from the water. (Posidon, anyone?  Razz ).

Immediately some one hundred Berserkers who had been sailing/rowing the ship cast spells almost simultaneously.

A very localised storm cloud appeared directly over the beast, and it was hit by several lightning strikes. A tornado appeared above it, creating a waterspout which it was trapped in. Large lumps of rock appeared to the sides of the waterspout, and rushed inwards from all sides. The initial impact would be bad, and then there would be secondary damage because of the rocks spinning around in the water spout. The same was done again but with sharp bits of metal, which were then often hit by lightning, causing the whole waterspout to glow, increase it temperature, and electrocute a few passing birds. Then the water inside then started to burn, causing the beast to writhe in agony once again, while still being cut and bruised by electrified metal and rock.

Blood could be seen mixing with some of the burning water, and quite a lot of it.

The two Haraldurs created a large rocky spike which stuck out of the water from the sea bed, and then the elder one shouted an order to his men. The beast was propelled very fast and at angle upwards by the waterspout, and then was impaled on the spike. It was dead.

Another order was made, and waves of blue surrounded the spike. More colour went into it: it was now permanent.

The elder Haraldur said, "May that serve as a warning for Tjed not to try to attack us again while we are in its territory." He then cast a spell of a green colour on the bloody corpse of the beast, making it so it would last forever until the spell was uncast, so the gruesome sight could be seen forever.

The ship then started to come in to land, and there were troops on the beach.

[Cesque]

"Sure, I'll go along." - answered Scorch. - "Pleased to see you're still alive, Duilin, hehe... Someone tried to take you hostage or what? Anyway, let's teach these imperial fools some respect... Show us the way."

-----

Noticing how Zeros suddenly phased to attack Tsar, Gelu launched both cones of cold at the winged demon.

[Xorlak]

Draven saw the blade swing at his vulnerable side, but it was too late to move his crimson blade to block it, and he took the full force of the stab.  His aura of flame was built up enough so as to absorb much of the ice energy, but the attack also served to weaken the aura as he flew to Zion's right, out of control.

He stopped some twenty feet from Zion, clutching his chest with his left hand and losely holding his blade with his right.  Although his skin was not pierced, his aura was, and he still fealt the shock of it.

He looked at Tsar, then to Zeros' who had just returned to attack, then back at Zion.

"Another traitor...  Insects...  All of you... I will destroy you all!"

"ALL!!!!"

He threw his arms back, his aura of flame regenerating and increasing as he yelled.  His crimson blade increased in length as well... the end he was holding onto as the handle began to grow outward from his hand until it was the same length as and shape as the blade on the opposite side.  He had forged a new weapon, like two swords with their handles stuck together, except his was made of condensed flame.

He spun his new weapon around wildly.

"Die... DIE!  You will ALL DIE!!!"

He had lost it completely...

----

(Rule:  The result of one character's attack is determined by the recipient of the attack.  But if that's okay with you, Cesque...)

Iduran turned around, gasping as Cheetah fell unconsious, his only line of defense...

"Emperor...?"

His heart sunk...

"My blade... what are you talking about?"

Okay, bad lie, but it was worth a shot.

"And... how do you know my name?"

[Zeros']

"Don't worry about how I know it. I need you so we can figure out how it works and the emperor wishes to see you. No harm will come to you if you come with me....unforcably."

Genma looked up at the sky and sighed, waiting for Iduran's response.

----

Zeros' looked at Gelu. He glared at him and held out one of his hands and formed a gun with his pointer finger and thumb and shot out ki energy, just enough to ver it off course.

[Cesque]

"This general seems to have problems with controlling his emotions." - Gelu said to himself, noticing Draven's spontanous reaction.

Noticing Zeros' move, he instantly focused and tried to counter the energy... but he suddenly got knocked on the ground with it's force.

"Of course..." - he said, standing up, almost unharmed. - "Ki is energy of body. It cannot be countered so easily with counterspell magic... I will not make such mistakes again."

Instead of wasting his efforts on some other spell, frost mage decided to wait for his opoonent's move this time.

[Cyber Wolf]

Tsar Grabbed Zeros' sword as it was thrust at him, putting deep cuts in his palm.

He winced a bit, (as there are lots of nerves in your palm) and said, "No Zeros'.. I can't die yet.. Justice must be served. The only way I'll allow myself to die is at the hands of the Empire, after slaughtering many.. Just have to break this hold.."

As he finished his sentence, a wild swing from Draven pierced his skin.

".... The blood of the summoned drawn from the summoner...." He whispered.

He ascended up, a flash of black, white and gray appeared, ingulfing Tsars body. The Black started as dominant, It was then eaten by the white, which was then engulfed by the gray.

The blob of gray light decended, and disapated, leaving only Tsar there.

He smiled, "Thank you, you pitiful little mortal..".

Tsar then rebuilt his aura, and his eyes shined like oil.

"Uhmm.. Hi Scorch.." Seth said kind of awkwardly, trying to hold back his snickering as he looked at him.

"Well Duilin... Scorch pffttt...  urmm.. let's go!"

Nevina waits on Shins response

[Haraldur]

Ragnar thought: hopefully there will be some fun here. He was slowly flying towards Romme.
