Arkrius continued to climb the demon via bladed weapons but realized something was off. Bullets emerged from all directions and flew back towards Starkiller. It took Arkrius by surprise as some of the bullets pierced through his body. It was like he was shot by a shotgun. He retracted the blades on his boots and was barely hanging onto the knives. The demon tried fling Arkrius off of the edge. It had almost succeeded. Arkrius landed on the edge and slowly stood up.

The demon saw Arkrius and started to charge towards him. It was moving noticeably slower compared to before. He dove out of the way and pulled out his USP.45 and shot four shots into the ground. An ice field was placed. It covered half of the roof, where the demon was standing, to the middle. He reloaded the USP.45.

"...frozen...death." [Skill: Frozen Death]

It crossed through the icy path. The traps were triggered one after another. Spikes stabbed through the demon as it carelessly ran through the field. The entire body was covered in blood. It had stood still for a few moments. It was gathering dark energy into a ball and it fired it at Arkrius.

"...shit!" yelled Arkrius. He quickly got off his feet and dove again. It had almost hit Arkrius, a completely destroyed section of the roof was in it's place.

Jiro and Volt watched as the warden was turned into what seemed like a monster, Jiro was shocked as the demon reminded him of something from one of his nightmares. "Jiro." He was brought back to his senses when Volt called his name. "Volt, lets go help the rest." He said as Volt nodded.

Volt jumped out of the room and Jiro could feel his mana coming back, "Volt, you know that witch hunters have certain abilities right?" Jiro asked "Yes, and now that we are out of that place you should be able to use yours." Volt said without looking back and concentrating where he was going. Jiro then looked at the monster "I can duplicate things." he said to Volt "Thanks for the information, it may help in this battle." Volt replied.

Volt jumped on the demons back and ran up it while slashing at it with his scimitars, he ran all the way up it's back slashing until he came to the end. The demon then tried to grab Volt but before it did, Volt did one more slash with the scimitars and jumped off.

"Volt, we're not alone here." Jiro said, Volt then looked at Arkrius and nodded at Jiro. Volt then jumped and quickly made his way behind the demon and once he got behind it he stopped and put most of his scimitars away and gave one to Jiro. Volt raised his hands and duplicated scimitars appeared in them, he then quickly threw the scimitars while Jiro duplicated more in his hands. The scimitars stuck in the demons back and made a path leading up to its head. The demon then turned around with its back towards Arkrius to face Jiro and Volt, Volt got ready to dodge the attack.

Jiro duplicated the gun in his bag and pulled out two duplicated gun and started shooting at the demon. While he was shooting the demon, Volt concentrated on dodging the incoming attacks for the thing.

Arkrius placed his hand over the gunshot wounds at his stomach. He placed the magnum back and held the desert eagle in his free hand.

...why does this happen to me!? I've been getting my ass kicked and been near death at least three times...in succession! I curse my horrible luck!

He carefully pointed the gun at the demon's back, where the knives were left in place. His gun let off a blue glow it received mana bullets. "...hail." [Skill: Hail] He changed four bullets out of seven into mana bullets. The shots were fired in rapid succession. Each heading towards their target. The knives, neck and head. Two of the intended targets were hit. The knives, they were buried deep within the demon. The other two hit the shoulders instead. The bullets exploded after they pierced through the demon's flesh. Pieces of ice were seen flying out of the demon, the bleeding was more apparent.

Arkrius grinned. ...target hit. That should do a lot of damage.

[Mana - 84]

by **Hawkeman92** Sat Dec 12, 2009 4:50 pm

Volt was avoiding the demons attacks while Jiro was rapidly shooting at it, then the demon stopped attacking. It was obvious that it was in pain, it then turned back towards Arkrius "Volt, throw me to its head." Jiro said "But you could-" "Don't worry about me." Jiro interrupted Volt. Volt nodded and picked Jiro up. He threw Jiro toward its head but Jiro landed a bit lower, Jiro then grabbed the scimitars in its back.

Jiro started climbing but the demon felt it as Jiro used the scimitars to pull himself up and started to reach for him. Volt then threw one of his own original scimitars which impaled the demons hand, the demon then attacked Volt but he dodged and started to slash the demons hand with his other scimitars. The demon then swiped and scratched Volt sending him flying.

After climbing a bit Jiro reached the his destination and then duplicated a sword from his bag. He then raised the sword "Rain of swords." [Rain of Swords] swords then rained on the demon while, the demon tried to shake Jiro off and for some time Jiro maintained his balance but then he was thrown off.

Before he hit the ground, Jiro duplicated his bag to make a lot of empty bags to slow himself down, he landed and then looked at the demon. Before Jiro could react the demon swung its arm and hit Jiro away, the demon was heavily damage from all the attacks and fell to one knee.

( - 20 mana and - 30 health)

by **Muzak** Sat Dec 12, 2009 5:06 pm

Arkrius noticed the demon falling to one knee. He wore a wide grin and took out his desert eagle as well. The fight was going to end soon, with a large bang. He charged the guns with mana and pointed them at the demon.

"Overdrive." [Skill: Overdrive]

He fired at the demon at the demon's head and chest. It's head exploded and left brain matter everywhere. The chest had a huge gaping hole and blood was scattered everywhere on the roof. It's corpse fell onto the ground, creating a small shockwave on the roof. The guns were sent flying out of his hands. He quietly grunted in pain from the recoil, it contained a lot of energy and almost broke his hands.

"...that's the end of that. Damned bitch." said Arkrius was he walked over towards the corpse. He contacted Charles.

"Assassination complete."
"...you idiot! Valfred you im - " Charles was cut off and there was someone else on the line. "Well done. The payment will be transferred to your account." It was a female voice and Arkrius stopped to think for a brief moment. There was fighting heard between Charles and the female voice in the background. He immediately cut connection off and placed a cigarette in his mouth.

...who was that?

"Fine Starkiller it is. I dont wanna make this a big fight so..." Tracey was cut off when Draco luanched all these things at him in midair. How the hell is this happening. Talk about some real good telekineses.

Tracey stepped back "Reys Escudo." His red energy sheild appeared infront of him and blocked the attacks. But the impact had pushed him back. The sheild broke and Tracey flew back soe distance. He landed on the floor and was sliding off the roof. He got to the very egde and stopped. "Whew that was a close one." He stood up. "Oscuras Sever." Tracey swung his sword and released a black energy slash that was moving a really fast towards Draco. Tracey then started to run towards him with amazing speed. "Lets bring this fight close up." Tracey smirked.

by **Starkiller** Sun Dec 13, 2009 12:42 am

"Close up? Very well, lets see what you got" Draco replied

Draco brought up his blade and slashed at the blade of energy, he used some psychic energy to increase his ability to block the attack. He then noticed Tracey running at him in amazing speeds. He took out his extra blades and had them levitate in the air, he held two in his hand, while the other four floated in the air. The floating blades began to circle around Draco and attack Tracey as he came close. Draco began to pick up smaller pieces of the ceiling that were cracked and destroyed from his previous attacks and flung them at Tracey.

by **Muzak** Sun Dec 13, 2009 1:47 am

Arkrius ejected the rounds from his guns, holstered his desert eagle and drew out his knife. He inserted the rounds into the cylinder of the magnum and fired two shots at Draco, then he rushed towards the battle, knife poised to strike at the neck. He jumped up into the air and slashed downward at Draco.

"Looks like your having quite the trouble there Tracey. Need a helping hand?" said Arkrius as he grinned. "You owe me."

by **Artist** Sun Dec 13, 2009 3:45 am

Tracey was taken back by the way he knocked down oscuras sever like that. When he got in close there was four lightblades in the air and Draco was holding two in his hand. "Hey this seems unfair." Tracey chuckled. He swayed to the side real quick to dodge the pieces of the ceiling that was hurled at him. Tracey was coming in real close to cut him with his sword but stopped in movement.

In a flash Tracey blocked the bullets Arkrius had shot. "Oi stop." Tracey stood infront of Arkrius. "I dont need the help Arkrius. I gotta fight on my own. Trust me." Tracey turned back to Draco "You seem like a respectfull fighter. A man of honor. I want to fight with some honor as well. We shall continue."

Tracey started to run at Draco again. He threw his sword at him aiming for the neck. Tracey dissapeared in instant. He was behind Draco. "Estrella."

by **Muzak** Sun Dec 13, 2009 4:05 am

Arkrius slashed away from Draco as Tracey stood in front of him. "Oi stop. I dont need the help Arkrius. I gotta fight on my own. Trust me." He quietly sighed and walked away from the fight. "...fine." The mention of honor brought a quiet growl from Arkrius.

Honor...what's the point of it? It's kill or be killed. Whatever, I fail to see the point of it.

"Don't die. You do, I lose my pay." said Arkrius. He walked a good distance away and lit a cigarette. The word honor echoed in Arkrius's mind. It was just a bother and pain ...what good is "honor"... He stood there, trying to figure out the point of it and why some warriors held it so high in regard. It was something an assassin like himself wouldn't understand.

by **Starkiller** Sun Dec 13, 2009 10:22 am

Draco saw the blade flying towards his neck and predicted that Tracey would attack him. Surely enough, Tracey was right behind him, ready to attack with a high energy beam. Draco increased his speed [Speed] and blocked the sword with his floating blades. He then turned and used a small rock to knock away Tracey's hand, he then proceeded to attack with a blast of psychic energy [Push].

(Push -5, Speed -5, Combat -10 from my last post)

by **Artist** Sun Dec 13, 2009 10:10 pm

Tracey's hand was knocked away by a rock just as estrella was about to be shot. "Damn." Tracey figured cause of the distance between them Draco was gonna use another push move. He jumped in the air awaiting the psychic push. He felt the impact of the push send him higher in to the air. "Fuck that hurt. Now lets try again. Estrella!"

Tracey reached out his right hand and fired the estrella blast. It was a dark blue colored beam of energy. Its size was tremendous and power was troublesome.

"There we go." Tracey said still in the air.

(-100 mana for Estrella for this and last post) (-50 health)

by **Starkiller** Mon Dec 14, 2009 12:12 am

Draco saw the beam of light and thought out what he had to do. The only thing he could was to block the attack with another one. He used a stronger blast of psychic energy [Wave] That was strong enough to send a house flying, the two attacks blasted each other in a wonderful explosion. Draco increased his leg power and jumped into the air above Tracey and unleashed another powerful blast down at the young warrior. [Jump] [Push] He then dropped with a blade in each hand in a divebomb stab.

(Push -5, Jump -5, Wave -15)

by **Artist** Mon Dec 14, 2009 12:27 am

Tracey saw Draco jump higher in the air. Tracey used his left hand and fires off another estrella to block the push attack. "Damn it!" Tracey was able to black well against it. As Draco was landing to the gorund with a dive bomb. Tracey kept himselg on the air focusing his left hand Estrella down towards Draco.

"Cross frame give me the 3rd angel." Tracey's bracelet glowed and his Gunsword appeared in his right hand. "Sky Sever!" Tracey yelled." Sending a large white slash of energy at Draco along with another Estrella attack. Tracey landed on the floor and grabbed his other sword from ealier. Holding both swords in his hand.

(-75 mana)

by **Starkiller** Mon Dec 14, 2009 1:07 am

Draco blocked Estrella with another blast of psychic energy and blocked the large white blade of energy with his swords. [Push] But the blade's size caught him off guard, and sent him sprawling back on the floor. The impact of the blow had broken his helmet over his right eye, revealing part of his face, covered in healed burns and with bloodshot, yellow pupil eyes. Draco took a pause at his opponent.

"Very good boy, however it is time I end this fight" Draco said as he grabbed Tracey's throat with psychic energy, and created a whirlwind around the young warrior. [Choke][Whirlwind] "Stop now, boy, you have proven yourself strong, no need continue any longer"

Draco began to walk away towards the edge of the roof.

(Health -20, Mana=Choke -5, Whirlwind -15 Push -5 +30)

by **Artist** Mon Dec 14, 2009 1:41 am

Tracey felt the force around his throat. It was gripping it hard. Draco the made a whirlwind around Tracey and he felt his eyelids getting heavier. "Damn it Im not loosing again." Tracey was in pain and was falling asleep despite his will to continue fighting. Tracey was loosing the grip on his swords.

"I cant lose again. I barely touched the fucker. Damn it! I will not LOSE AGAIN!" Tracey awoke fully. Holding his swords in his hand rather tightly. The spirit from ealier started to rise again. Koten no Zaruun. Tracey's eyes were glowing a bright gold. The spirit startes to take form of a hooded figure. You could see its glowing white eyes under its hood. The spirit was covered in a red deep like fire. It had a clear see through body. It made no sound. With the rising of Koten No Zaruun the whirlwind had stopped and Tracey was no longer in a choke hold.

"What the hell is this?" Tracey looked up at Zaruun. "Well no matter now. We got someone to fight." Tracey looked back at Draco. Koten no Zaruun was very big his head reached up into the clouds. "Lets try this one more time." Tracey raised his sword in to the air and red mana energy was starting to cover his back. Zaruun reached up into its hood and pulled out a clear red flaming katana. It held in the sky along with Tracey. "Sky Sever!" Tracey yelled at the top of his lungs. He swund down his sword and a large white and red slash of energy shot out from Tracey's sword and Zaruun's sword. The sky sever nearly destoyed the entire roof along with part of the prison. The only part of the roof left was the part that Tracey was standing on. Which was a small little circle.

Tracey felt his head banging. He fell to his knees. "Damn what a freaking headache." Koten No Zaruun was gone as if it was never there.

(-75 mana)

by **Muzak** Mon Dec 14, 2009 1:59 am

Arkrius stared at the energy that appeared from Tracey's sword and whistled in amazement. Before long, the roof was crumbling. He looked around but before long, the ground underneath Arkrius deteriorated. ...you can't be fucking kidding me! thought Arkrius as he fell. He reached into his pocket and grabbed a grappling hook. It was thrown and it latched on towards the ground that Tracey was standing on. Arkrius let out a sigh of relief and looked down. The sea was underneath him and it wasn't going to enjoy the fall.

A few seconds later, the grappling hook slid off the roof and Arkrius was back to falling. "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" screamed Arkrius. He tried throwing the grappling hook again hoping that it would catch onto something but it didn't. Arkrius was rather displeased at the situation and even more displeased that he was falling into the sea.

...damn it. Tracey...I fucking hate you.

He hit the water with a loud splash.

by **Starkiller** Mon Dec 14, 2009 2:19 am

Dracp attempted to block the attack again, but with no avail. The attack broke past Draco's defences and sent him flying away. Draco levitated in the air, the attack that Tracey had hit him with made a massive gash across his body, blood was pouring out of him. Draco looked at his wounds, noticing that his helmet was gone, revealing his face. His face was burned in several places, his skin showed signs of decomposition being green-like in color, other places had no skin and teeth were showing from an opening in his cheeks. [Levitate]

"Impressive, you have gained unimaginable power, you will eventually learn to control it, and you will most likely prove a great match against me" Draco said "However, now you will taste the power of the Force Tribe, survive this young man, and you and your friends will be recorded as powerful warriors for all time"

Draco unleashed a massive blast of psychic energy, the force of this could destroy a castle.[Repulse]

(Repulse -60 mana Levitate -5 Health- 50)

by **Artist** Mon Dec 14, 2009 3:07 am

A loud splash was hear from the ocean near by under Tracey. "Wonder what that was."

Tracey stared in amazement as Draco was able to survive the attack. His whole face was revealed. "Damn this guy is not normal." Tracey listened to his words but his head was still banging in pain. "Damn gotta help everyone out if they get hit by this they will not survive."

Tracey jumped into the air. He saw the massive pulse of energy coming forward. "Haaaa if I survive this then I want my rematch. Rey's Escudo!!" Tracey created a large red energy sheild shield that covered the front of Balgon prison. The repulse shattered it with ease as if it wasnt there. The impact of it was devastating. Tracey went flying back as he was hit by the impact of the blast. The repulse nearly destryed most of Balgon Prison. It was still standing but it was broken and shattered. The shield of Reys Escudo was able to lessen the damage a bit but it was not nearly enouph. Tracey was on top of some broken parts of the prison.Right arm and left leg broken, he was hurt bad and he needed help quickly or he could die. His back was probally broken aswell. He couldnt reach for the tubes from his master cause his body was in so much pain.

"Damn I lost again." Tracey said with a smirk as he passed out. He was smirking cause he wanted his rematch. Also his new found power Koten No Zaruun.

(-280 health)

by **Muzak** Mon Dec 14, 2009 3:28 am

The impact from the water caused Arkrius to lose most of the air he saved up in his lungs before the impact. He frantically flailed his arms in the water, attempting to push himself towards the surface of the water. It was a vain attempt. He wasn't getting anywhere. It was only a matter of minutes before he would lose consciousness. He still continued to flail his arms everywhere and realized that he was still sinking.

He tried one last time to attempt to get himself to the surface as fear took over. He screamed while trying to get back to the surface, despair soon followed suite.

...is this...my end...? This...watery grave?

Everything faded to black. Arkrius had lost consciousness and was slowly sinking towards the bottom of the sea like a rag doll.

by **Starkiller** Mon Dec 14, 2009 3:43 am

Draco floated down to Tracey. Draco smiled, the boy was strong, not only in terms of power, but in terms of heart as well. The boy faced against an opponent far stronger than himself but still continued to fight and found new power because of it. He looked at Tracey, his body was broken and he was attempting to reach a couple of tubes before passing out. Draco picked up the tubes and used them on Tracey, carefully repairing his wounds and placing his limbs in the right place. Draco pulled out an empty hilt he had made for later to make another blade. He placed the hilt on Tracey's body and left a psychic message on it.

"If you want to use this, go ahead, I have plenty more where this came from" Draco implanted "It requires a magical crystal in order to be used, open the hilt and there will be a place to put your crystal"

Draco began to walk away, awaiting a flying desert ship that landed on the rubble. Draco boarded his ship and sat on his captains chair. He looked around to see his demonic minions managing the ship. They looked at their master with hopeful eyes. Draco waved his hand and his demons set to work, they began to pick up pieces of the demonic Warden that had been killed earlier. The pieces were set down and Draco began to work his magic. He repaired and reshaped the body of the dead Warden and soon the new demon was formed, at the sacrifice of several of them. The new demon was the form of a beautiful young girl, with angel wings.

"Welcome to the world my child, your name is Sora, do you understand?" Draco asked

"Yes Master..." The Sora replied

"Good, you will eventually learn how to things, say hello to your brothers and sisters" Draco said pointing to the ghouls and monsters

"Hello..." Sora said but soon hid behind Draco's chair, who began to laugh.

"Hahahahahaha!, don't worry everyone, our new sister is a little shy is all" Draco said, patting Sora on the head. "There, there, no need to be scared, we are all family, get it family"

"Fa mi ly?" Sora worded the sounds out "Family"

"Yes that is right"

"Family!" Sora said, smiling and flying towards the other demons. They began to play and bounce around, a welcome party for their new sister.

Draco smiled, he thought that even though these demons were considered monsters all over the world, they were still his family, and they would stay by his side forever. He looked back at Balgon, thinking about all of the things that had transpired. He thought about the interesting things that might come due to his interference.

His smile grew bigger.

by **Artist** Mon Dec 14, 2009 4:25 am

Tracey was knocked out from the attack. But his body was fine being healed by Draco. He awoke confused on what was going on. He didnt know that Draco healed him. "What...what happened." Tracey streched his back till there was loud crack. He got up on his feet and heard a metal drop on the floor or wat was left of Balgon prison. It looked like a hilt to Draco's swords. Tracey picked it up.

"If you want to use this, go ahead, I have plenty more where this came from. It requires a magical crystal in order to be used, open the hilt and there will be a place to put your crystal." Tracey heard in his head. "Ahh must be from Starkiller...I knew he was a good guy. Makes me wonder did he help me. Pshhhh what ever I still want my rematch." Tracey said looking up into the sky as he saw a ship fly by. He placed the hilt on his belt.

"Now where are the others at?" Tracey began to roam around the ruble and destruction.

Sirix looked around. She stood at the portion of the roof that was still intact. "Well, that was interesting." Hey Castro, stop the Mana cannon. There's no need for it anymore.
Understood.

Outside...
Castro stopped the flow of mana, and relaxed his body. He returned to normal and looked to see the prison in ruin. He hoped that his master was alright. He had heard a big splash nearby and went to check it out. When he got there, he could see Arkrius drowning in the sea. He's the one who went in the prison. He jumped in the sea, knowing that he was an ally and that there was no harm in saving him. He grabbed Arkrius by the collar and dragged him up to shore.

by **Crimson Moon** Mon Dec 14, 2009 10:07 am

"HEY GEEZER HOW'S THE SEAL COMING ALONG"Lycan stood ontop of the higest point of the fortress
"It should work just need a start up flow of mana, could you do the hounors" Desmond bowed and pointed at the seal
"Alrighty"With a flip she kept falling down, letting the impact thrpiugh her springs and was completly fine. "So i just put mana in here?"
"Yeah but it has to be enough or else it won't work"
"Lets give it a try then" Lycan kneeled before it and straind her musscles, with one surge she activated the seal, A pillar of stored up mana came out of the seal "Well at least now they can find it"
"When you enter the other side will open"
"Where excactly does it go?"
"Let's keep that a suprise shall we" Desmond smiled

"Mister arkrius? mister arkrius~" Lycan talked loudly enough that people around the walkie-talkie should hear "Seal ish active"

by **Muzak** Mon Dec 14, 2009 6:00 pm

Arkrius lay on the shoreline for a while. A few seconds later, he opened his eyes and was coughing out water in his lungs. ...ugh...I feel like crap... He spent at least fifteen minutes getting rid of the water before lying on the shoreline. Arkrius saw a cape on the shoreline and blankly stared at it for a few moment before shaking his head.

Lycan's voice was heard in his head and he wiped his hand on his lips to wipe the saliva and water. He tapped a small button and started to speak. "...yeah, I 'ear ya...we'll be t'ere in a...minute."

He switched frequencies to talk to Kaluoshen. "Oi, Kal! W'ere the 'ell are ya!? Regroup ASAP. We got Tracey." Arkrius looked around the area. "Outside of the prison..."

The frequency was switched again to Jiro's. "Oi!, y't'ere!? Jiro!? Answer me! Answer me god damn it!"

He quietly sighed and loosened his tie. His clothing was dripping wet and placed the contents of his pockets on the ground. All I got if my knife, my magnum, lighter, arcane cigarette...and... Arkrius blankly stared at the soaked packet of cigarettes and looked rather displeased. ...they're ruined...I'm out of fucking cigarettes...
