RPG A New Era, A New Destiny.

[Boo]

Tyron: Oh well... Im not planning on following them anyways.

Shin: Who?

Tyron: The others of course! By now they must have the I.K allready.

Shin: What is that anyways?

Visor: Havent payed attention during lessons? hehe. The I.K is Valen's strongest weapon. He captured Tristam in it also.....

Tyron: Hasnt Tristam waked up by now then?

Shin: I dont get it...

Visor: Oh well. Let them handle it. He aint THAT strong. I mean, Wolf did beat him easily.

Tyron: But now the weapons arent under the chant of the justice blade anymore remember?

Shin: Im lost....

Tyron: Ok. We beated Tristam. He was an evil uy, who was fighting sides of Lacroix and his little bro Indrid. Wolf beated him and Valen putted him in this little crystal or something like that.

Shin: aha.... so you think they are now fighting Tristam?

Visor: Or one of them was beaten or Tristam was, but at least one power is gone.

Tyron: I still sence Valen, Wolf and Karina. And I dont think Tristam'll killthe little ones.

Shin: ok. Then its okay.

Visor: But....

[I]Before he could even talk, a huge explosion shook the earth. Shin allmost lost his balance and Tyron quickly dodged a falling tree. The sky was coloured.[/I]

Visor: Lets go check out what happend!

Tyron: Aerow!

Visor: Allready?! We just kicked his butt and hes back allready?!

Shin: Sounds like hes asking for more!

[I]They run towards the direction where the explosion was. There Stands Aerow. Calmly with his palm of his hand at chest height, towards the city.[/I]

Tyron: Aerow!

Aerow: So you've came huh?

Tyron: I couldnt stay and wait for you to attack me, could i?

Aerow: You [I]could[/I]... But now you're here, lets say: Fight!

[I]Suddenly Aerow charges forward, jumps over Tyron and slams Visor against a building letting a lot of rocks and rubble fall on Visor, in the same jump. Aerow turns around and kicks at Tyron, but this one dodged. Shin came at Aerow from behind, but Aerow noticed him so he kicked backwards. Shin, who could hardly dodge it, grabbed his Samaria and slashed at Aerow. He blocked it with the twin Viper and emmidiatelly jumped on a destroyed building and shoots an arrow at Tyron. This one dived, but it still schratched him at his cheek. Shin charged towards Aerow, but Aerow jumped over him and cutted him in the back with the Pain Dagger. Tyron and Shin both stood up while Visor tries to get away from under the rubble.[/I]

Visor: Lucky shot! I didnt expect him.

[Shinobi]

[i]Visor who is crawling out at a diagonal now poiting straight to Aerow's head.Visor clencheshis fists and launches himself out firing out at an alarming rate he looks as if he is going to headbutt Arow right on the nose, but he spins in mid-air pulls out the SoJ andslas it down. Aerow blocks, but snaps his Pain Dagger in the process. He fly kicks Visor to the ground and turns to see Shin's Machette and Samuria glowing with a bright orange aura. He shouts at the top of his lungs "Amera MORIA!" he points his to weapons at Aerow and from the tips explode with molten lava. The strain on Shin'sface is unbelievable the lava turns into a huge waterfall in mid-air and chases AErow. He has to flee as it is coming at him about 50 mph. He runs away curssing on our souls.[/i]

Tyron: Wow......

Shin: *huffing and puffing* Heh, he'll be running for about 30 miles before that burns up and evaporates.

Visor: LMAO! well done man, you can easily see he is a decndant of me.

[Boo]

OOC: Nobody gets in this battle okay? >.<

Aerow: And now to show them what ive made off!

[I] Aerow turns around and with humangous power, he jumps up while holding his hands up into the waterfall. The lava forming a ball and the waterfall stopped streaming.[/I]

Aerow: They can have it back.

[I]He again runs back to the three warriors but this time he runs arpund them so they cant see him coming. Before they know it, Aerow stands behind them and he throws the ball at Shin. You can hear Visor warn him, but it was too late. The damage has been done. And not a little damage. No. Shin was too exausted to block or even dodge it so it came fully at him.[/I]

Tyron: How on earth?!

Aerow: You cannot beat me! My powers lie far beyond yours! So give up!

Tyron: Visor! Get Shin!

Visor: What?! You're?!....

Tyron: Yes im going to fight him!

Aerow: Allright! This could be fun! One on one! You two stay out of this or you'll be sorry!

Visor: Didnt you see what he did to shin's attack?!

Tyron: Of course I did!

Aerow: Just leave.

Tyron: Do it Visor!

Visor: Okay.... Good luck!

Tyron: Thanks!

[Valen]

[i]Inside the dustcloud, Valen was still looking for Karina. There was no sign of her or anything for that matter. He couldn't use his magic of Four Winds to blow the dust away, for if Karina was still in the dustcloud, she'd be caught in the blast as well.[/i]

[i]He searched for what seemed to be hours, but was only mere seconds. He gave up for now and went to find a way out of the dustcloud. There was a small shady figure of a group of people to the left of him. He went to see what it was.

He walked out of the dustcloud and saw Karina tied up with her own whip being held by Wolf and the little ones looking around. He arched an eyebrow and walked on.[/i]

[starlight]

[i]meanwhile...

Karina had given up struggling, so she wouldn't damage her own weapon. She went and leaned against the trunk of the tree, plotting evily about what she would do to Ari later, to get back at her for tieing her up in the first place. She tryed to move her arms, but they were so tightly bound to the tree that it almost hurt to move them.[/i]

Karina: Hey Wolf! You can let me go now!

Wolf: No I can't!

Karina: Fine then... Rajaah! please? can you let me go?

Rajaah: ...I'm sorry... I can't

Karina: You guys are evil!!!

[i]Ari suddenly ran up to wolf, panting for breath. She couldn't speak, for she was so out of breath that she couldn't. So she pointed towards the ruins instead.[/i]

Rajaah: calm down!

[i]Ari nooded and fell to her knees panting. They waited until Ari had caught her breath. She pointed at the ruins again.[/i]

Ari: I saw someone coming out of the dustcloud! I didn't see who it was, but I think it might be Valen!

Karina: Ok cool! So now that he's out... you can let me go now right?!... right?!...

[i]The group had been ignoring Karina and didnt hear what she had said. They all took up their weaponry, and Ari, still holding onto Karina's throwing stars, and headed off to see who it was, leaving Karina tied to the tree, unarmed, and helpless to attack. Karina sighed, and swore at the world under her breath.[/i]

Karina: HEY STOP IGNORING ME!!!

[i]Like they would listen to her in her current mood! Karina pulled on her restaints again, only to have the whip cut into her skin.[/i]

Karina: This sucks! *sigh* yeah thats right! Lets leave me alone, and without any means of defense!

[Valen]

[i]He looked around and noticed something was different... nobody was around anymore. Had he gotten turned around? He was now back in the dustcloud. There was a slight rumble where the temple once stood that knocked Valen off his feet. He sat there, Isis Katana on the ground next to him, he just stared at where the temple was. It was gone...[/i]

[b]Valen[/b]: ... ... No...

[i]He dropped his head and just sat there as some of the dust settled around him. He tried his best to stay calm and not break down. There was another rumble, but he payed this one no mind, he had too much going through his mind. The rumbles grew louder and greater as the rubble started to collapse on itself. Something was going on underground.[/i]

[b]Valen[/b]: ([i]sigh[/i])... Well... it's in the past now... it's over...

[i]He got up and brushed himself off. He looked around and picked up his Isis Katana and started walking aimlessly through the dust. Moments later there was an explosion that threw Valen back passed the group. He landed with a thud and the sound of something cracking as he slid passed Karina. The creature Karina and Valen had just got away from was back and ready for a fight. He was the true gaurdian of the Isis Katana and won't let it go without a fight.[/i]

[starlight]

[i]Karina witnessed something strange happen just moments after the group had started heading off. The ground started to rumble and shake.[/i]

Karina: Ok [b]NOT[/b] good, um guys? The ground is shaking! Shaking ground is not good... shouldn't you be?... you know... UNTIEING ME SO WE CAN RUN!?

Ari: Ok this isnt funny anymore, I dunno about you Wolf, but I'm going to go free her now, we need to get outta here!

[i]Ari turned to run back, but just then right where the temple had been there was an explosion, and who should be thrown by the force of the explosion from the midst of the dustcloud, but Valen himself! Karina could only watch in shock as he crash landed with a sickening thud and slid right past her. Karina couldn't turn to see where he was, or if he was ok.[/i]

Karina: ...Holy crap! What the hell was that all about!?

[i]Ari shook her head and shrugged, but just then she noticed the guardian, and her eyes went wide. The rest of the group now noticed the creature.[/i]

Karina: Ok now would be a perfect time to free me!!

Ari: ...yeah I agree!! You guys take on the monster and i'll untie Karina.

[i]Before anyone could reply Ari had taken off. Karina had no clue what Ari was doing bahind the tree but she felt her bonds loosen. A few moments later she felt the whip drop off. Ari from behind the tree suddenly gave a startled cry. Karina ran over and gave a startled cry of her own, when she saw what Ari was yelping at. Karina went over and knelt down next to him, she waved her hand in front of his face.[/i]

Karina: Ohhhh crap... Ok Valen?... yo? How many fingers am I holding up?

Ari: Oh... please say I'm seeing things!

Karina: Ari just go back over to the fight, use my throwing stars if you want, I know you still have them.

Ari: But how do I?!--

[i]Karina glared at the girl, and made a throwing motion with her hand.[/i]

Karina: --Throw them like a frizbee!! Geez!

[i]Ari tore off before she could get Karina any angrier with her.[/i]

[Valen]

[b]Valen[/b]: ..... ouch..... This lifestyle takes a lot out of you...

[b]Karina[/b]: So you're okay, right?

[i]He barely managed to get up with Karina's help, but had a sharp pain in his rib.[/i]

[b]Valen[/b]: Yea-- ow....

[b]Karina[/b]: Are you sure you're alright? You don't at all look alright...

[b]Valen[/b]: I'm fine.... Do you think Ari and Vahn can take on that thing eventhough they have Wolf and Rajaah's help?

[b]Karina[/b]: Probably not...

[i]They both had a good laugh at this as they ran towards the battle to help the others. Valen drew his katana and got ready for battle as Karina grabbed her whip. This was going to be a long battle, for the gaurdian had the Isis Katana's powers and more.[/i]

[b]"Which one of you went into my temple and wrecked it?!"[/b] [i]The gaurdian growled as the others pointed to Valen and Karina in fear. They both gave the others the 'You-all-are-going-to-get-it-later' look. The gaurdian glared at them as the others looked on. It walked up to Valen and Karina, who were both ready to attack at any given moment.[/i]

[b]"You really think that weak blade is going to help you?! Hahahahahaha! That is quite funny![/b] [i]He snarled as Valen held the hilt even tighter.[/i]

[b]Valen[/b]: I will show you the true power of this blade! .... Ow....

[b]Karina[/b]: Are you sure you can take him?

[b]"Better listen to the lady, you're in no shape to fight me! For I will easily wipe you all out! Mwuhaha![/b]

[i]The gaurdian had yet another good laugh at this one. A mere five-foot-eight guy against a twelve-foot-nine demonic gaurdian. They both prepared to battle anyway.[/i]

[Charles]

The street crawled with shady-looking characters, hustlers and derelicts. The white in their eyes glowed in the darkness, glowed with the juices of insanity. They were withdrawn and removed. But, they were rats, not cats. They were low on the vermin food chain, measly drug pushers, petty crooks and panicky murderers--maggots that Axle and Jaudiar could readily grind under their heels at any given time.

They would need to go [I]higher[/I], catch the big fish. Now wasn't the time to bait for minnows--they were after a shark, a silver bullet with razor blade teeth. Rajaah immediately came to mind. Obviously, Axle's plan to bait a shark with the aforementioned minnows didn't work. Then again, [I]was it Rajaah?[/I] He would have probably addressed the letter to Jaudiar. Axle was nothing to him.

"Let's go," Jaudiar said flatly, "we're wasting our time here."

"Right," Axle replied, "but where? I'm not exactly the most popular guy on the planet, but I am one of the most famous. Any two-bit ghost chaser or sorcerer could have my number."

Jaudiar removed a piece of gum, rested it on her tongue delicately, and pulled it into her mouth.

"Yes, but this one seems to be intimately familiar with you," she replied approaching the car, "or did you forget that?"

Jaudiar's heels clicked against the slick pavement, echoing in the night. Axle motioned as if he was going to open the door for her, but she shrugged him off and melted through the steel and fiber glass as if it were liquid.

"[I]Right[/I]," he said, his cheeks burning with a slight tinge of red.

That's when Axle caught a different kind of predator's smoldering eyes. Carmela Jones, 27, was young but already infamous on the streets, a human drug. She never made promises, but had broken more marriages than the Vietnam War.

Not noticing Jaudiar, she stalked Axle, switching wildly, moving in all the right places. Axle tried to brush by her, tried to escape her tender touch, but he quickly found her arms around his body, digging into the lithe, muscular form.

"What are you afraid of," she asked grinding against him, "I've never met a rock star who's afraid of a pretty, young woman." Her voice was thick and sweet like honey. Carmelle kissed his nose, a strap slid off her shoulder, halfway down her arm. She smelled of cheap liquor and heavy perfume.

Axle's tension increased.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]The next thing she heard was the click of a blade against her earings. Carmela stiffened, cold steel against her neck. The voice she heard next seemed to be oil flowing over ice...thin and cold.[/i]

Jaudiar: Take your slut hands off my man bîtch.

Carmela: ....who are you?

Jaudiar: None of your buisness. Do it. Or I'll give you another peircing. On your neck.

[i]The female in question complied, and slowly turned around to face the furious female in front of her. Jaudiar quietly thanked her sister that she was still not visibly pregnant, even after a few months. Eyes glinted silver against the cold metallic sheen of her slingblade, and she showed feral teeth. Carmela stepped back, the person in front her was clearly pissed....and willing to do something about it. Jaudiar quietly laced her fingers into Axle's hand and sheathed her blade.[/i]

Jaudiar: Get lost.

Carmela: .....

[i]Instantly, the eyes of Jaudiar hardened into marble slits, and the energy around her flickered to life.....twisting viciously around her body.[/i][/COLOR]

[Wolf Maximas13]

as the beast laughed he felt a sharp pain hit his back. as the beast turned to see Wolf. the creature smiled and laughed again.

YOU REALLY THINK YOU CAN BEAT ME LITTLE PUPPY?

Wolf smiled and threw off his cloak. his sword shethed and his camma in his left hand.

Wolf: i'm not as powerful as Karina and Valen, but i do have my own suprises. some that the others haven't seen yet.

the creature smiled and walked towards Wolf.

Karina: Wolf, have you lost it? you can't take that thing on.

Wolf: i know, but until Valen gets better, hint hint, this thing probally can't be stopped. for i have this feeling that only he can cast this thing away.

with that Wolf lept back as the beast swung at him. Karina took the hint, and began attending to Valen. the creature chast Wolf for awhile until he lost site of him.

WERE ARE YOU HIDEING LITTLE PUPPY? ARE YOU TO SCARED TO COME OUT, OR DID YOU JUST RELIZE YOUR NO MATCH FOR ME?

then Wolf lept over the beast and began to chant.

Wolf: try this, you big ox! LUNAR CANNON!!

with that a bright light left Wolf's hands and struck the beast in the back. the creature slumped forward and then turned. the blast angered the guardian who in turn blasted at Wolf. Wolf lept up and away from the creatures site. Wolf may not be the strongest, but he's not dumb either. Wolf thinks if he can keep up this blast and move thing long enough it should give Valen time to do what ever, and it gets the beast away from everyone else. Wolf landed and began to charge another move. as the beast came into site Wolf smiled.

Wolf: here you go big boy, i never really got to test this one out, so you should feel honored.

with that Wolf lept into the air, crossed his arms, and began to glow. then he thrusted his arms open and yelled.

Wolf: LOVE CANNON!!

the beam shot out in a bright red and struck the beast hard. the beam exploded with trumindas force. sending the creature to the ground with a hard thud.

Karina: what on earth..? that was from were Wolf is. oh, come on Valen, Wolf needs us.

as the smoke cleared Wolf stood panting and waiting. then he saw the guardian stand. it had a huge burn mark on it's chest and blood coming from it's mouth. it walked slowly on brused legs towards Wolf.

Wolf: well, at least it did something, but i'm out that was all i had. i hope the others hurry up.

[Carren Heart]

[I]Rajaah looked over at the creature could this be what he was informed about it appeared powerful enough.[/I]

Rajaah: < To himself > this creature must be the one that will open the gate!

[I]The creature puased for a moment as an unimaginable power flared up sharply.[/I]

Guardian: << Sharply looks over at Rajaah >> Impressive but not enough!?

Rajaah: << Grins >> You fool! Me greatest power is not a weapon but a gift!

[I]The guardian looked confused for moment as a brillant gray light engufted Valen, Wolf, and Karina.[/I]

Rajaah: << Screaming in pain >> Guardian you will fall before the chosen.!

[I]In a swift fading light Rajaah?s screams became vilently intest as Ari also began to glow a dim gray, within a moment a power like none other they felt involved them wounds mended themselves into with the last scream was heard Rajaah was no where to be seen.[/I]

Wolf and Valen: << Looking at themselves >> My lord! Yes!

Ari and Karina: << Also looking at themselves >> I feel ?.

[I]With the power granted to them the Guardian steps backward in shock.[/I]

Guardian: << trying to make himself believe >> that still won?t be enough!

[Boo]

"let us begin"

"Yes"

"then may the best fighter win!" Aerow shouted while charging at Tyron with such a speed that if Tyron didnt suspected it, he would've surely been knocked fifteen meters away.

[I]Tyron dodged it by a side roll to the left and he quickly handled his Phantom blade, so he could emmidiately counter with a slash at Aerow. It just scratched him though, because he saved himself with jumping on a pile of rubble. He grabbed his left arm, where the cut was, and he looked at the wound. It was just a little scratch so he looked at Tyron again. Aerow closed his eyes a bit and threw his Pain dagger with humangous speed at Tyron who was just able to dodge it, but emmidiatelly after that the dagger hitted a tree, Aerow shot an arrow at Tyron which landed in this one's right shoulder. He pulled out the arrow and covered the wound with a piece of his cape laying right next to him.[/I]

"Just get it over with."

[Valen]

[i]Valen looked around for Rajaah, but he was nowhere to be found.[/i]

[b]Valen[/b]: Is he....

[b]Karina[/b]: ...NO!

[b]"HAHAHAHA! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO NOW? YOU MAY BE SLIGHTLY MORE POWERFUL, BUT THAT WILL NOT SAVE YOU!"[/b]

[i]With that said, the gaurdian started to glow an ice blue as he glared at Karina. His hands rose above his head as if he was charging and channeling his energy into a single move.

A small rip in the air appeared and all you could see in it was a part of space? The rip started to grow as it began sucking in the dustcloud and a few other random objects as well. Out of the rip came small orbs of energy that started to form a bigger orb around the gaurdian's hand. The rip closed after all the dust had been sucked into space. The orb had now grown into a massive, moltent, ball of plasma. It was aimed straight at Karina, Valen, and Wolf.

Ari and Vahn had alredy run behind them. The plasma orb shot at them. [/i]

[starlight]

[i]Karina braced herself for the blast that was surely going to destroy them all. She could only stand and watch, as what she belived to be their doom grew in the creatures grasp. Ari watched in horror as well. She was not going to let her family and friends be hurt by this... thing! but how? She was just a kid... But she had to do something! Something deep within her snapped suddenly, and she felt an energy she had never felt before rush through her being, it was the trademark power of the ice element of her familys long forgotten clan, though she was too young, and too inexperianced at the time with it to know that. She looked at the old staff in her hand for a brief moment. Before holding it out as she was taught by Valen and ran as fast as she could all the while concentrating this newfound energy.[/i]

Karina: Well it's been great knowing you guys!

[i]Ariadne started glowing a faint icy blue as she ran, she didnt notice it. She ran up behind Karina and shoved past her and stopped a few feet in front of her, just as the guardian released his plasma blast. Ari closed her eyes for a moment when she opened them they glowed a bright blue. She raised the staff above her head and brought it down hard upon the ground. [/i]

Ari: WINTERS CHARM!!

[i]The very moment the orb atop the staff met the earth a wall of ice and snow formed around the group encaseing them all within a bubble-like shield... the question was... would it withstand the force of the guardians attack?[/i]

[Charles]

Carmela's eyes flashed with hatred and humiliation, she ground her heels into the dirt. Her limbs twitched with fury and her cheeks were flushed a rosy pink and vermilion. But, her mouth twisted into a smile, emitting deceptive warmth. She assured Jaudiar that she and Axle were "old friends" and that they were merely "catching up." Her large lips pursed into a mock pout, she batted her long eyelashes tauntingly at chaos incarnate, completely oblivious of the danger standing before her.

Axle coaxed Jaudiar into the sleek vehicle, assuring her that there were more important matters to attend to, such as world domination and fulfilling several vendettas. Plus, Axle wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes--he needed to calm his own nerves. Her hands disappeared into his large fists as he held her close and lowered her excitement.
She finally seized her emotions by the reins and allowed Axle to whisk her away.

As their car whooshed off into the night, Carmela remembered one distinctive morsel of information. Her chest heaved up and down in excitement. Her fingers could literally [I]feel[/I] the life draining out of Jaudiar's body, under her firm grasp.

"This won't be good for the kid," Axle had whispered in her ear.

They didn't know she had heard it, they thought their whispers had fallen dead in the wind. Tossing her hair behind her head, she peered over into the darkness. Her eyes met that of her John's and a small mob of street punks and junkies.

Little did Axle and Jaudiar know, that Carmela was more than what she seemed. [I]She had written the letter[/I] and now it was time to collect her ransom. Bearing a wide grin, like a ravenous dog, Ms. Jones' began to taste Axle's pain; she knew how to hurt a man. Flinging herself into the night, she prepared to strip away what he held most dearly.

[Raiha]

[COLOR=royalblue][i]Jaudiar folded her fingers gracefully over her stomach....halfway instinct, halfway anger. She closed her eyes and sifted down through everything she had noticed about Carmela. From her body came not only the obvious scents, but blood. And there was something in her eyes that was not kind. She had seen canibals before, and murderers that drank the blood of her victems. They had been like her. Unless she was one of the undead, which was impossible, there was no reason for her to smell like that. She opened her eyes once more and looked at Axle.[/i]

Axle: ...what is it?

Jaudiar: She's a man eater. Not in the figurative language we know to be true.

Axle: ....did she write the letter?

Jaudiar: It's possible. She sounds like she could've written it, but I don't have the energy to find out for sure.[/COLOR]

[Valen]

[i]The sheild held for about three-fourths of the blast. The other one forth was destroyed by the icy air which surrounded the group. Valen stepped in front of Ari as if he knew what he was doing for once.[/i]

[b]"STEP DOWN, VALEN!"[/b]

[b]Valen[/b]: What is it you want with us? You protected the Isis Katana, now it is mine again. Now leave.

[b]"IT IS NOT YOU WHO I AM AFTER. IT IS THE GIRL."[/b]

[i]The gaurdian pointed at Karina.[/i]

[b]Valen[/b]: What do you want with her?

[b]"THAT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. NOW, I WILL ASK NICELY. HAND OVER THE GIRL. NOW!"[/b]

[b]Valen[/b]: No. I'm not going to lose her again. Especially to you!

[b]"DAMMIT VALEN! YOU CALL YOURSELF A CERNUNNOS WITH THAT ATTITUDE?! YOU COULDN'T EVEN CATCH A CANARY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! REMEMBER OUR MOTTO? '[i]A CERNUNNOS ALWAYS GETS WHAT HE SETS HIS EYE ON[/i]'"[/b]

[b]Valen[/b]: It is you who made me like this. You made the mistake when you allowed Lacroix and his damn gang to destroy the city. I was going to go and help them, but then you ordered them leave only me alive? I had family, something I have never had before. Then you come and take that away.... You will not live long enough to take Karina away too.

[b]"FOOLISH CHILD! YOU WERE SENT HERE TO CAUSE HAVOC. WARS HAVE BEEN STOPPED BEFORE THEY HAD A CHANCE TO BEGIN BECAUSE OF YOU."[/b]

[b]Valen[/b]: Brother, why do you insist on going on like this? You alone have the power to end all this.

[b]"STOP! I DO NOT WANT TO REMEMBER YOU THIS WEAK!"[/b]

[b]Valen[/b]: IT IS NOT WEAK, TO VALUE LIFE!

[b]Ari[/B]: Yeah! You'd better listen to him! Or you'll have us to deal with!

[b]"STOP THIS AT ONCE! FITHOS! LUSEC! WECOS! VENOSEC!"[/b]

[i]A purple light started to spiral around Valen as he felt his energy decrease with ever passing second.[/i]

[b]"I WILL KILL YOU NOW IF YOU DO NOT DO AS I SAY!"[/b]

[b]Valen[/b]: Go ahead and kill me! Or are you too weak to kill your own brother?

[b]Karina[/b]: ([i]To herself[/i]) ... Brother?

[b]"HA! YOU ARE AS STUPID AS THE OTHER PATHETIC AND IMPUDENT HUMANS THAT HAVE TRIED TO TAKE OVER THIS LAND. I WILL NOW CRUSH YOU WITH THE AWESOME POWER OF A NACROMANCER SPELL!"[/b]

[i]The purple light turned red as it constricted Valen, making him do as his brother told him to.[/i]

[Carren Heart]

[I]The creature stood confident of his power and unaware of the growing power behind him. There was Rajaah he hadn't given his life he gifted the others with a potion of his power and teleported away that's all.[/I]

[B]" Valen you die Now!"[/B]

Rajaah: << From behind jumps on the creature >> HELL ROT!

[I]The guardian quickly arcs it back to the air screaming in pain as the decay spread through the being carcass. With the pain and surpise the guardian's powerful spell weakened faintly.[/I]

Rajaah: Valen! NOW!

[Shinobi]

[i]Visor and Shin walked away, itching to run back and pound into Aerow's face! They controlled themselves and tried to force a conversation to blnk out the noises of scuffling and blasts. As they walked further and further into the woods Visor and Shin noticed a HUGE....Rip In The Sky?!?[/i]

Shin: W....W.....W...What The Hell!?

Visor: Oh no, here we go again!

[i]Visor leaps pushing himself higher and higher into the air as he pushes with his feet, from tree to tree. Shin swiftly follows, although he is slower for he doesn't have as much ninja skills in him, but has enough to easily over power any other being with comparisiont. As they stretch higher and higher, they see the full scale picture, and it aint pretty.....[/i]

[Valen]

[i]Valen tried to get up, but the spell constricted him even more if he did anything of his own will. He tried once again, but the spell constricted again. The gaurdian knocked Rajaah passed the rubble and into a tree.[/i]

[b]"Now, Valen. Bring Karina to me!"[/b]

[b]Valen[/b]: No.

[i]The gaurdian raised his arm and Valen floated into the air. There was a green light now encircling him as well. The light shot into Valen as he yelled out in pain. The gaurdian then threw Valen back to the ground.[/i]

[b]"Now, I ask you again. Bring Karina to me!"[/b]

[b]Valen[/b]: ... Fine...

[b]"Good boy."[/b]

[b]Valen[/b]: ...

[i]He walked over to Karina. She saw what had happened and knew that it wasn't Valen doing this.[/i]

[b]Karina[/b]: Valen...? What are you doing?! Put me down!

[b]Valen[/b]: ([i]Whispers to Karina[/i]) Just be ready...

[b]"You did nicely, Valen. Thank you. I will now take Karina and leave you to live your pathetic life."[/b]

[i]The gaurdian lifted the spell on Valen just as he was about to take Karina.[/i]

[b]Valen[/b]: Just a question...?

[b]"I don't have time for this! What is it!?"[/b]

[b]Valen[/b]: Where will you be taking her?

[b]"You do not need to know. Goodbye."[/b]

[b]Valen[/b]: Wait! Now!

[b]"What!"[/b]

[i]But it was too late. Karina had heard the signal and she ran just as Valen drew his Isis Katana and slashed the gaurdian's left knee, making him fall to the ground where everyone has a good chance to win.[/i]

[b]Valen[/b]: You should have killed me when you had the chance, Brother.

[b]"I cannot lose."[/b]

[b]Valen[/b]: But see, you have already lost.

[b]"What do you mean!?"[/b]

[i]Valen points to Wolf, Ari, Vahn, Rajaah, and Karina. They had all encircled him and got ready to fire their attacks. The gaurdian looked at Valen.[/i]

[b]Valen[/b]: We win, Brother. Guys...

[i]He hesitated to tell them to go ahead and attack. It was his brother, after all. He knew it had to be done. He tried to hold himself back from calling everyone off.[/i]

[b]Valen[/b]: ... whenever you're ready.

[starlight]

[i]Karina summoned up a Hail Storm and aimed it to fire. But then she heard Valen hesitate in giving the order to attack. This thing was a threat, but she would not go about thinking of herself as the murderer of her best friends brother for the rest of eternity. So just a mere second before everyone fired at the guardian creature, she waved her hands in an X sign and the ice disinigrated into thin air again, and turned away as the other attacks hit. She assumed that none of them had seen what she had done.[/i]

Karina: ...that was weird

[i]She went away from the rising dust and sat down near the edge of the clearing, acting as if all was well and she [b]had not[/b] just called off an attack.[/i]

[Carren Heart]

[I]Rajaah gathering dark energies grinned wickedly at the fallen guardian, crackling energies formed encircling Rajaah as the energies crackled around him like screams about the damned they formed into a still gathering ball around Rajaah's hand, he aimed at the creature.[/I]

Rajaah: Farewell pitiable creature!

[I]Rajaah' dark energies sharpen his newest attack even stronger then Hell Rot this projectile attack would aid him greatly it's name Death Bolt.[/I]

[starlight]

[i]Karina wondered about what Valen was talking about when he was fighting with the guardian. A dark possibility loomed overhead, and she didn't like it... but... Could it be true? It was nagging her and, as usual she was going to get to the bottom of it. She got up and went to find Valen, who was standing off to the side, watching the effects of the magic attacks. He didnt seem to notice her, he seemed off in his own little world. She grabbed him by the hood, and dragged him off a little ways from the fight. When she finally stopped she let go of Valen, turned around to face him and crossed her arms.[/i]

Karina: OK. Explain! You have alot of it to do! What in the name of creation was that all about?!

[i]She didn't mean to sound harsh but she couldnt help it, questions echoed in her ears and it was driving her up the wall.[/i]

[Valen]

[b]Valen[/b]: Well... erm...

[b]Karina[/b]: Spill it!

[b]Valen[/b]: ([i]Sigh[/i]) Alright, here's what has been going on. Way back before we started fighting the demons, my brother (the gaurdian) stole the blade and gave it to Lacroix to drop off to me in hopes I would join them. They killed the person that took me in and left only me alive in the town. I was going to join them, but after they had stormed out of town thinking I was dead, Visor and Tyron came into town. Then we met up with you and well, you know the rest.

[i]Valen sat down near the tree and glared at the gaurdian.[/i]
