Dark Age Legends

[Haraldur]

Ragnar noticed there was fire in the distance to the north. He flew towards there./

________________________________________________________

The two Haraldur's came up to the castle gate, unimpeded. Except by the gate itself. It was magically shut, and done very powerfully too.

They sttod side by side, raised their hands towards the gate, and the gate smashed into many small pieces, about the side of knives.

[Xorlak]

Draven's blade hit thin air as Zion fell below Draven.  Seeing his opponent free his hands to ready a ki attack, Draven released his right hand from the weapon, charging crimson energy in the fist and aiming downward.  He released a wave of fire that met his enemy's blast halfway.  The two opposing energy beams slammed together, emitting bright flashes of crimson and white light as the winds tried to separate the two warriors.  Zion had the advantage at first, as his attack was released a split second before Draven's, but Draven corrected the momentum imbalance with an increase in power...

"Ha!!"

Further tensing his arm, he sent a bulge of increased energy down the column of the fire wave, slowly forcing Zion's blast back on him...

----

Iduran didn't have time to contemplate that remark; he instantly fell limp as the heavy staff connected with the back of his neck.  He fell face first, unconscious...

(You can grab him and take him wherever you want.)

[Trent]

He's too powerful! Think! Employing a split-second desicion before getting fried by the ki beam, he flew to the side, aborting his own ki wave, Draven's wave barely scorching his arm. He cringed as he flew up to Draven and slashed downward at him directly from the sheath, in Battou Jutsu fashion.

[Haraldur]

Ragnar came up so that he was quite near to the fight, only 100 metres (300 feet) above it.

A, sort of, hollow globe of small rocks (the size of a head) appeared around Zion and Draven, and then all the rocks went inwards, at varying, but fast, speeds.

____________________________________________________

The two Haraldurs walked through to the throne room, unimpeded, smashed the door into the throne room, and entered. Then the elder Haraldur said, to the king who was there, "What the hell do you think you have been doing?!"

[Dude Man]

//Today is an early dissmisal day, so I get to go on comp for a little bit//

"Allright then let's get going....Umm..." Duilin started to try and think back were it was, Pophin lead most of the way back to the cave when he left, and he realizes that he can't fully remember were it was. He dosen't want to look like a fool so he deciedes to "pretend" he knows were it is "...let's get going" he starts leading the way to a decertion he "thinks" the camp is.

[Zeros']

Genma sighed and looked at Iduran.

"Sorry about that..." Genma picked up the limp Iduran and hiked him over his shoulder and started to levatate towards the Dark Empire's ship.

----

Zeros' looked at Gelu with a smile.

"Demon spawn? No. You have it wrong." Zeros' sheathed his sword; now it was time to get serious.

Zeros' spread his feet and made his left hand out infront of him into a karate chop postion and his right hand a fist; he also grew his other wing. (When Jayce pulled them out, he only regenrated one wing)

----

Qeni and Zev weren't any help here, so they decided to float off towards the direction of Duilin's group.

[Dude Man]

Duilin turned his head as spoted something

"What the? Those are those, things, that were scareing Pophin? What are they?" Duilin says pointing to Qeni and Zev.

//Duilin did not witness the trasformation and dose not know that they are them//

[Cesque]

"I have no idea." - Scorch said. - "What do you propose? Kill them just in case they can be dangerous? Altough I doubt a wolf has any chances against us, so we can as well live them alone - this 'Pophin' doesn't sound like some courageous brave warrior to me."

Scorch looked at Queni and Zev strangely...

"They don't look too natural to me either..."

---

"What an idiot..."

Gelu conjured a snowstorm all around himself, filling the surroundings - but not really an especially large area - with snow. His flesh seemed to solidify, and his skin became reflective. He looked now like a creature formed from ice itself...

"...to mess with Dark Empire was a mistake, but to mess with me is suicide."

[Zeros']

"I have no fears. No one can scare me. No matter who faces me...I will prevail. I haven't lived over almost a millennium to be killed by an ice sorcerer."

He looked down to the ground and a tear formed in his eye. It trickled down his face and splashed to the ground.

"I still have great respect for you and for everyone I face" He hesitated for a moment. "...and kill."

He slowly flared up his aura melting all the snow that came near him.

"Now. You shall not stop me for reaching my goal." He released his stance and walked forwards slowly and disappeared; now he was behind Gelu.

He cracked his fingers and quickly jabbed, concentrating his ki energy into heat, punching 500 times at second. Punching his hurt his hands, but he mearly shifted his pain somewhere else; another technique taught to him by Genma.

----

Qeni and Zev saw the cave. They were all still there; thats good. They had much to inform them on.

----

Genma flew higher as he noticed to cave off to the side; he didn't want to get caught pulled Iduran away.

I hope this goes like I want it too...Maybe they can come to a compromise. He thought to himself.

[Xorlak]

(What is with you and interupting my one-on-one duels?  Heh...)

Draven swung the blade in his left hand upward, meeting Zion's in a flash of red.  The force from the impact sent the two warriors in opposite directions for a brief moment.

Before he had the chance to counterattack, Draven saw the earth attack coming in from all sides.  Thinking the attack was from Zion, he outstreatched his arms, blasting his aura outward to his left and right, disintegrating the boulders barreling towards him on impact (and inevitibly destroying many heading towards Zion as well).

[Trent]

Zion watched Draven destroy the part of the Earth attack coming toward him. Zion created an energy shield around him, strong enough to vaporize the stones that got near it. "Thanks for taking care of some of those for me." With that, he flared his aura of light and charged at Draven.

[Cyber Wolf]

Tsar analyzed the situation and came to the conclusion that, there was really nothing he could do about Draven. All these others were attacking him.

Tsar then remembered; "The Armada!". The thought struck Tsar dumb.

Neptra would be coming.. That could pose a problem.

Tsar warped about 20 feet, still carrying his Psi-Lance, then flew towards Neptra's ship.
______________________________________________________________

Seth followed Duilin.

[Zeros']

Qeni and Zev landed near the cave; they hoped they weren't too late and no one did anything foolish.

Qeni looked around and saw everyone that was there the previous day. She simply sighed and then smiled.

[Mark of the Dragon]

Shin continued following Jayce's energy signal, totally oblivious to the fact that Nevina was following him.

[Cesque]

"Respect?" - Gelu made an impression as if he was laughing, but he wasn't actually.

Respect, ethics, morality, emotions, beliefs - all were things which tried to prevent people from achieving real power. The ice mage paid no respect to them - the experiments with cold and water magic and magical jewels permamently influenced his mind and soul. Some part of humanity was replaced with cold energy itself.

He could feel it - same as he could feel Zeros' moves.

"Be the water."

He said to himself, after liquisiding his form again, but this time the water almost instantly evaporised before it could fall on the ground and not too long after that, in place left to where Zeros was trying to use his super-fast attack, a giant blizzard broke and from the falling snowflakes, Gelu was formed.

"Finesse is the key."

He could barely be seen in the whole blizzard area that formed, in the white mist of constantly falling snowflakes only his red eyes glittered.

"Stop you from reaching your goal? What is your goal, demon?"
