RPG The Dark

[Box Hoy]

A horizon rose in the west. it was just creeping over the hill. Light flashed in Toshi and Riv's eyes. "Asunan said yet another army is coming. I don't understand. What do they want with Krii," toshi said. Riv did not turn his head. "Something drives them to keep coming here. Maybe they heard about our mission to get hapl from the other kingdoms," Riv said. "Or maybe their coming this way to get to Arrav."
Veil climbed up the archers tower. "they're coming," she said.,

[Skitto]

Toshi turned back to Riv to speak to him about the army approaching them but he wasn't there. Riv was already on the frontlines with Lemaria drawn and readied with the now familiar blue light. "You will not destroy the kingdom that I have fought so long to protect!" he yelled at the coming onslaught and Lemaria grew in length and began snaking around at the army, picking off many of the strongest and annihilating their catapults with a single strike.

[Imp]

[color=purple]Asunan prepared her arrows and shot one of them at a nearby soldier to test it out. The arrow exploded with electricity on contact, paralyzing the soldier. Asunan smiled and fired another one; it burst into flame and singed another soldier from inside. Then, Asunan took out her sword, which she hadn't used in a long time. She swung it around over her head, then dashed into the crowd and spun around, swinging the sword at soldiers in every direction. The soldiers took a lot of damage even with their steel armor. Riv was slashing his legendary blade at soldiers with ease, and the others did the same. But then, more soldiers came and threw javelins at them, scoring almost direct hits. Riv and the others were taken by surprise and fell to the ground.

* * *

"We need you, Celestia. We need you..." Images from the war flashed through Celestia's mind, causing her to have a mini nightmare. Suddenly, when she saw the group being attacked, she instantly woke up, waking up Mereduin and Amarest with her. "You must wake up, you two!" Celestia shouted. "Asunan needs our help!" Mereduin and Amarest got up sleepily, then rubbed their eyes and panicked. All three of them ran out the castle and towards the battlesite. There were several screams heard, most of them coming from Asunan. Riv was falling down and getting up angrily, Toshi was swinging his sword helplessly while laying on the ground, and Line shot arrows in a random direction blindly. (She had stolen a nearby archer's bow and arrows.) But then, Celestia and the others finally arrived. There were some large rocks floating in the air around them. Celestia sent the rocks flying towards the group of soldiers, knocking a few of them out. Mereduin jumped up and shot fireballs at some other soldiers, whose metal armor made them weak against fire. Amarest dashed into the crowd, her sword glowing and ready.

Within a few minutes, the group of soldiers completely forgot about Riv and the others and focused on Celestia's group. A perfect opportunity. Riv's group got up and started to attack with their swords again. Who will win?[/color]

[Box Hoy]

Toshi looked wearily at the soldiers. They just kept coming and coming. Veil was arching from the archers tower. She looked down at him. Toshi did some sort of signal telling her to cover him while he retreated back into the kingdom. Riv noticed this. He grabbed Toshi's trench coat collar just as Toshi was getting up.
"No matter how wounded you are you will never give up," Riv yelled. Toshi nodded. Veil shot an arrow at an attacking soldier on them. Riv stood up. "They will not pass," he said.
___

Meanwhile in a plains about thirty miles from Krii. A scout returned to his leader. "Sir the kingdom is going to fall soon," the scout said.
The leader growled and saliva dripped from his lip. He had sharp teeth and wore a helmet that was half broken. He had had strong armor. Indeed this was a demon. But not any demon. This was Morak.

[Cyriel]

Another familiar scent reached her on the archer's tower, as she dispatched the enemy with her deadly arrows. Veil closed her eyes briefly, looking for the familiar orbs of energy. Tapping one, she focused, looking for a clue that would tell her who this familiar thing was...

She rushed to the Gate, and then...her eyes widened. The familiar profile of...Morak. Suddenly, he seemed to turn, and then his eyes glowed. Her body convulsed, pain running through in waves. Her spirit returned to her body, and she fainted, her bow falling from her grasp. She too, followed it, falling... She tried to regain consciousness, but Morak's power was too strong, and she fainted again.

Toshi looked up, and saw her figure fall off the tower. "Veil!"

[Box Hoy]

Morak noticed the boy running towards him. Rivs eye twitched at the sight of Morak. "No. It can't be him. It can't. Not this early," Riv said. Asunan gasped. Line and tr'shiel stood frozen. Toku fell over.
Morak walked inside the kingdom. He started yelling. Toshi fell over in weariness.
"Come out you cowards," Morak said. Riv grabbed his sword. "I can not let him destroy this kingdom," he said. He stood up and started running at Morak. Morak turned around and grabbed Riv. Compared to Riv's large size he was punny to Morak.
"Do you think that you, with all your pathetic power, can defeat me," Morak said.
A drop of blood dripped from Riv's mouth. Toshi was trying to get through the ground with his weary body. Veil was limp and dead like. Toku stared at Morak. The black crow wing. It was the same as the general that had attacked. Was Morak really a leader or a minion.
__________________________________
OCC- Don't do anything about the crow wing. That'll be in a different story.

[Skitto]

Riv was on the verge of losing consciousness in Morak's grip, he was weaker than Rimnil but stronger than Riv so he was still a great threat. But Morak only held Riv for a short while, in this time a fleeting second passed that Riv actually passed out then immediately woke up in anger and pain. Lemaria flared a blinding white, Riv's white hair grew longer and burned a pure light. "AAAAHHHH! YOU WILL NOT DESTROY ALL I HAVE WORKED TO SAVE!," Riv screamed at Morak, Lemaria went ballistic, grew to a giant length and snaked out again at all the underling demons while Riv slashed with the physical yet glowing physical section of the sword. Morak's gigantic figure lurched backwards and almost tripped over a catapult which was inconveniently stuck directly behind him, "Rein has granted you the gift I see, the great warrior of Krii is immortal," said Morak to Riv, "I see that if I must kill you it should be now," Morak sighed and reached to his back and drew out an immense sword and gripped it with both hands. Morak then came at Riv with an attack that would have shattered mountains if directed at them, but instead it was directed at Lemaria who took in it's light at that moment to fend off Morak with half strength while still attacking the minions. Toshi was at that time glad that Morak was going to be killed and mad at Riv for not letting him fight, he ran up to the raging battle on the plains of Krii, he was not going to see Morak die without himself having a part in killing him.

OCC: we need to get out of Krii

[Imp]

OOC: What, and let the army take over Krii?
IC:

[color=purple]Asunan prepared her arrows. Celestia wandered over to her, grinning. "You're getting good at this," she said to Asunan. "Here, use my arrows too," she continued. Asunan continued infusing spells into the arrows, Celestia helping her out all the way. "Here, you go help out Riv with taking on Morak. I'll go defeat the rest of his army. Don't worry, the rest of my group will help me.
"But Celestia..."
"Are you saying we can't do this alone?"
"There are too many of them..."
"...Pain happens as a sacrifice, Asunan. We'll take a lot of damage in the batle, I predict, but we'll make it in the end, I know it. Even if we have to make a sacrifice."
"...OK, but be careful..."
And with that, Celestia ran off with Amarest and Mereduin and started fighting the rest of the soldiers.

"You won't win," Morak sneered. "I doubt it," Riv said in a cocky tone. The two were fighting when an arrow shot into Morak from the side, right into his left ear. He soon started to become deaf. "Sorry, Morak, looks like you won't be hearing from us anymore," Asunan shouted from on top of the tower, jumping off it and landing on the main wall of the castle. She prepared another arrow, trying to aim at Morak's eye, hoping to blind him. Her plan was to weaken him, sense by sense.

Meanwhile, Celestia's group fought the soldiers. Amarest swung her sword violently at them, and Meredion shot flames at them, burning the soldiers with their own armor. Celestia threw soldiers all over the place with her mind and also helped out Amarest and Mereduin when they needed it. The battle raged on.[/color]

[Kieko]

O.C.C: Sorry! I've been swamped with school work! Ugh! I have six essays to do tonight, but I just couldn't stand going another day knowing I'm slacking on this thread!
_____________________________
[i][color=darkblue]Amarest and Mederuin had their hands full, and Celestia was too busy to help for the time being. Finally a soldier got the best of Amarest while she was killing another and raised his sword above his head; ready to strike. Amarest turned around just in time to see it coming down... and stop. She looked at the soldier's face; it looked shocked and the soldier soon slumped to the ground, revealing Linë (bloody daggers at her side as she was the one who stabbed the soldier) and Tr'shiel.
"Sorry we're late, got lost on the way..." Linë said, and Amarest, Tr'shiel and her resumed fighting the soldiers.[/i]
Darn. If I had known there were so many soldiers, I [i]would've[/i]asked that one guy for directions. [i]Linë thought to herself. But that couldn't be helped now. With a free moment, Linë looked around for Riv and the others. She spotted them fighting a huge moster, but had to quickly resume fighting, so she couldn't get a good view of it. She turned to Tr'shiel.
"I don't know where I'd rather be; here fighting endless-" Linë had to stop speaking to kill some soldiers. "-hords of soldiers, or over there fighting that giant monster." She said, indiating to where the monster was standing. Tr'shiel looked and smiled a bit.
"Me neither!" She said, and they continued fighting.
"We'll be at this all day..." Linë said to herself in a bored, exasperated tone, she didn't like haveing to chip dried blood off her daggers, which was exactly what was going to happen after this battle.[/color][/i]

[Box Hoy]

OCC- That's okay Kieko. i got a lot of homework also so I can't blame you. Anyway just don't fall seriously behind or it'll get shut down.
IC-
Morak hacked away at Riv. Toshi ran up from behind Morak and slashed him. Morak did nothing. He turned around after a moment. "Do you think you hurt me," Morak said. He hit Toshi in the stomach. Toshi's eyes widened as he fell over and grabbed his stomach. Morak suddenly was weilding a large gruesome sword. "I want you to remember this swords name for it will be the last thing you remember," Morak said. "This sword is named Carnage." Riv smirked. "You think that sword is all powerful yet you know not the extent of its great power," Riv said. Toshi opened one eye. The sword carnage was next to his head. Riv charged Morak only to be closelined by his opponent. Morak turned around. "You are truly foollish to beleive that you have a chance against my power," Morak said. "Now I will take my leave of you all. Let it be known that this has only been a small testament of my evil. I will see you in the Kingdom of Arrav soon," Morak said. And with that Morak and his armies disappeared.

[Kieko]

O.C.C: Posting one more time because I really don't feel like doing homework ^_^.
___________________________
[i][color=darkblue]Linë, who had been in the middle of cutting an opponent in two, fell in the dirt as the soldier disappeared. She quickly got up, covered in soil.
"What's the big idea?" She said, rather annoyed. Then she glanced around; not only had the soldier she was fighting disappeared, so had all the other soldiers, and the monster, too.
"Linë! Tr'shiel! Come on! We gotta see if Toshi, Riv, and Asunan are ok!" Celestia shouted over to them, and they all sprinted in the direction of the others.
"Riv, Toshi! Are you alright?" Mereduin shouted as soon as they came into earshot.
"Yeah!" Riv shouted back.
"What happened? Where'd all the soldiers go?" Tr'shiel asked once they caught up with them.
"Probably with Morak." Toshi said, slowly getting up.
"You mean the big guy?" Linë asked.
"Yeah." Asunan said.
"Darn! We gotta go! Now! Morak said he was going to Arrav!" Toshi said, suddenly alarmed. The others looked worried, but only nodded.
Only Riv seemed to be recalling Morak saying that. "Right. Lets go!"[/color][/i]

[Cyriel]

Suddenly, they looked around again.
"Are we all here?" Line asked, counting the group. "Wait, who's missing?"

Toshi looked around at the bodies lying in the field. So much death... "Veil! Where's Veil??" He just noticed that his guardian was not with them. They all spread out, yelling for Veil. Inside, they wondered if she was still alive. Toshi ignored the smell of the blood, turning over bodies in his frantic search.

"Veil! Veil, are you still alive? Come on, answer us!" They kept shouting, praying that her voice would reach their ears...

Suddenly, Asunan yelled to them, "I found her! She's over here!" They ran to the base of the archer's tower, where Veil lay where she had fallen.

When the others saw her, they almost threw up. Toshi gasped, "Is she alive? Tell me if she's alive!" Veil was covered in blood, her clothes soaked through. Her skin was paper-white, and her eyes were open, reflecting the sky. She had scratches all over her face, and her legs and arms were at odd angles, crushed and broken. The bruises and deep gashes on her body made dark red spots everywhere on the paleness of her skin. In every right, she looked dead. Slashes in her throat and wrists were still seeping blood.

Riv turned Toshi away, who was too shocked to protest. The others looked silently down on Veil's body.

Suddenly, Tr'shiel knelt down, excitement in her voice, "Wait, she can't be dead. She's not dead! If she was dead, then the blood wouldn't still be pumping out of her wounds! Veil's alive!"

Veil was alive. Barely.

[Skitto]

Tr'shiel placed her hands on Veil's forehead and closed her eyes. A glowing light could be seen traveling from her heart, up to her shoulders, and down her arms where it was taken in by Veil whose wounds started to close and her bruises to fade. Veil blinked once, twice, three times. All the group minus Riv and Tr'shiel gathered around her, hugging her, starting to cry because they were so happy she was alive.
Riv and Tr'shiel were exempt from this as has been stated. After Tr'shiel had finished and Veil had been healed, she became very weak and had fallen backwards into Riv's arms, Riv had been watching the healing and was the only one to notice Tr'shiel becoming fatigued. Riv's pure white hair went over Tr'shiel's face as he lifted her from the ground but Tr'shiel didn't seem to mind. Without noticing it Riv had gotten involved in a kiss, at the other end was Tr'shiel, who with her eyes closed looked so innocent and helpless.
Riv pulled away having noticed this was happening and his white hair which had seemed to develop a slight glow, (not as blindingly bright as it had been when Riv was fighting Morak, just slightly) darkened a bit and stopped glowing. Tr'shiel's eyes were still closed, she had seemed to get involved in it also. "Don't... don't go away... Riv... please stay with me," said Tr'shiel in a weary, tired, voice. She opened her eyes to look at him, "I won't," said Riv quietly.
The others by this time had helped Veil to her feet and were now staring at this whole scene. Riv blushed then felt very foolish and [i]seriously[/i] embarrassed, Toshi started to laugh, then Asunan, then Veil (though a little weakly).
Soon everybody was laughing at Riv's embarrassed-ness. Riv got even more embarrassed at all this giggling.

[Imp]

[color=purple]Tr'shiel, Line, Veil, Toshi, Asunan, and Riv were heading back to Arrav, and Celestia, Amarest, and Mereduin did the same, except in a separate group. All of them were running as fast as they could, as to get to Arrav as soon as possible. They all took their weapons out, ready for battle. Sure enough, a large army of soldiers was at Arrav, and Celestia's group was there too, fighting off the soldiers. Some of them were being forced by Celestia to attack Morak. Asunan giggled at this sight, still preparing a few enchanted arrows. She shot one at the sky, which immediately caused a thunderstorm to come. Celestia saw this and did the same, causing a mini-tornado to appear nearby. The tornado sucked up a huge amount of soldiers, and the rest were struck by lightning. Soon, only a few were left, and they were easily defeated by Riv's group. Now only one was left: Morak.[/color]

OOC: Sorry that post was so short...

[Skitto]

Toshi and Riv stepped forward, this is what they had all come to do, but now only Toshi and Riv had stepped out of the line to confront Morak. Lemaria glowed a blue that fluctuated between red and back, Riv's hair did the same. Toshi's blue hair flowed in the wind, his black sword drawn and ready.
All was quiet for an eternity it seemed, but Riv then yelled at Morak, "You will not kill any more people!," Toshi then said also to Morak, "My task that was given to me to become a knight is to kill you and to save Arrav. I will kill you, even if I get some help, I will kill you," Morak once more drew his sword, "Not yet!" yelled Morak, and then held his sword in front of him and Morak disappeared, leaving nothing but a night black feather that drifted slowly towards the ground.

[Box Hoy]

Toshi hit the ground. How could he have just let Morak get away. He was probably inside the kingdom now. Toshi looked up and let wind ride through him. Morak was going to use the portal soon. He was going to kill the Death Lord and become all powerful.
Riv pulled Toshi up from his feet. "You must not give up. I didn't give up when Rimnil was at his hardest," Riv told Toshi. Toshi nodded.
Toshi started walking towards the kingdom. He entered like he had before. It seemed so peaceful but within a few minutes it would all be destroyed if he did not do something.
Suddenly there wasa blinding flash of light that covered the entire kingdom in a sphere type shape.
Toshi squinted. His eyes adjusted. He could see the faint outline of the buildings. The others were not with him.
Morak was floating in front of him. He did not look the same however. His eyes burned with such great hatred. His armor was gone and so was his face plate. He had long red hair that stretched down to the back of his knees. He still had the black wing though.
He spoke in a dark voice that pained Toshi to hear it. This is what Toshi heard.
"You know not me. The one you saw and thought was Morak was me. He was a simple decoy who could ahve been defeated easily. I am the true Morak," he said.
Toshi's eyes were wide and his sword was drawn. He held it out behind himself.
"The Bridge to the gateway has been recovered by my armies and soon I will pass through it to become a being that can not be contained in this world," Morak said. "You'll never do it. I wont let you," Toshi said and with that he took a giant step and slashed Morak. Two things happened. Toshi was unsuccfull at harming or even touching Morak and Morak blew Arrav up.

[B]PART 2 DOOMSDAY[/B]

Toshi lay on the ground. Many heavy objects were on top of him. Veil and Riv were digging the rubble. Toku sat staring at the fallen kingdom. Tr'Shiel had been hit by a falling object and knocked out for a while. Line and Asunan along with the other Star Knights were doing a revovery effort.
This had been an eventful day. A truly eventful day indeed.

[Skitto]

Veil and Riv finally dug up the tattered, bruised, and filthy body of Toshi up from the pile of rubble caused to be by Morak. Quite simply Morak had been 20 miles from Arrav and used his mental power to make all the stone inside the kingdom's weight increase to the point that it could not hold itself up.
Five seconds later Morak could be seen flying over Arrav making sure that it had been thoroughly destroyed and that all of its citizens had been killed or trapped so that they would all be dead either instantly or after time had passed. But our heroes had been too busy to notice at the time because they had been trapped, but eventually got themselves loose and freed themselves of the incredibly heavy stone blocks and rubble.
As soon as Toshi had been helped out of the pile, wounds and all, Riv had ran to Tr'shiel's side and would stay there until she woke up. Riv waited until the sun went low and below the treelines of the forest to the west of the westernmost city, Anrelia. Linë walked up to Riv once the night settled in, "You should get her somewhere warm, you don't want her to catch cold or something like that," Riv looked up at her, "I will," he said and lifted Tr'shiel up from the ground that had been littered with rocks and pebbles and went to the giant pile of boulders that had once been the palace.
Riv found a spot where he could put down his lover and so doing, put Tr'shiel down on one of the now scarce patches of grass left in the remains of the courtyard. Riv drew Lemaria once again and let the light go out from the sword once more, the light became the shape of giant tweezers and began picking out the boulders and making a small shack from the unbroken bricks.
Riv had almost finished when Toku came up to him and said, "That sword can do anything can't it?" , "Almost," said Riv in reply, "It cannot enhance my strength, as it lifts up the boulders I am holding them in addition to the sword's considerable weight. It is only making up for what I lack in size to lift these giant boulders and bricks."
Toku looked at him with shock, "Y-you- you mean that you can actually lift that much?" Riv finished the hut, put Lemaria back into it's scabbard, looked back at Toku and said, simply, "Yes, but these are not that heavy."

[Box Hoy]

Toshi sat quiet in a chair later that evening. They were back in the kingdom of Sera. The elder sat in front of Toshi. There was something wrong with him.
Toshi could not use any of his senses so he was basiclly near death. The elder stood up. "There's nothing I can do. The only way I can tell he is still alive is his heartbeat and that he's breathing," she said.
Toshi's eyes were completely black. "What exactly happened to him," the elder asked Veil. She shook her head,
"I couldn't do anything. Toshi disappeared into no where. The next thing I saw was Arrav blow up in smokes. I think we should be more concerned about Morak and that he has the bridge to the gateway," Veil said.
The elder rubbed her chin.

[Imp]

[color=purple]Celestia intended to use her powers to put the kingdom back together, but Asunan stopped her, insisting that she would save her energy for fighting Morak. Then something strange hapened: a portal opened beneath Celestia, who fell through it. Asunan freaked out. "Celestia! What's happening?" "I'm afraid it's time to say goodbye now," she said. She then floated down the portal gracefully. "I don't know if and when I'll return," she continued, "but I'll... I'll be OK, but at a sacrifice..." Her voice then drifted into silence. Asunan gasped and tried to jump in the portal after her, but she failed and fell on the ground. She then burst into tears. "Celestia's my friend, the best friend I ever had..." Then a vision came to her. "Morak. Morak's doing all this," she said out loud to the group. "Morak can choose who he wants to fight him, and he chose Celestia first. Celestia will be destroyed if someone doesn't help her now... unless she's willing to give it all she's got, I'm worried..." Mereduin and Amarest nodded and sobbed, also being good friends of Celestia. Mereduin suddenly broke into a bawl... "Don't worry, sister, you'll be OK! I believe in you! You can do it! Stop Morak!" Riv and Toku were pacing around. "I must stop Morak," they said in unison. They stood there, hoping another portal would appear and take them to Morak too..." Line sighed and looked at the sky, thinking about why Morak could have done such a terrible thing.

Meanwhile, Celestia stood in a temple, facing Morak. "I WILL defeat you," she declared. "My powers never fail. I have seen the fate of this world. You will fall at the hands of fate." And with that, she chanted something underher breath, causing one of her arrows to light up intensely. Its light shone so beight theat Morak had to cover his good eye. (One of them had been blinded thanks to Asunan.) She then threw the arrow at Morak's other eye, successfully blinding him. But that did not stop Morak; he closed his eyes and remained quiet. Celestia did the same. "I hope you know," Morak finally said, "I can still hear you and pinpoint you that way." He listened closely with his exceptional hearing, and when he heard nothing, he dashed in the direction where Celestia originally was.

"Well, it's time I stopped walking and started flying," Celestia said. Suddenly, another portal magically opened... "Morak!" someone shouted. It was Riv! The portal closed behind Riv, who stepped forward, confronting Morak, Lemaria out and ready.[/color]

[Box Hoy]

Toshi was still blanked out. Veil was shaking him but nothing happened. A man walked in and spoke to the elder. She shook her head and truly looked as if there was no more hope. Veil walked over to her. "What's wrong," she asked? The elder turned to her.
"Toshi's younger sister Ora has gone missing. We don't know where," she said. Veil looked up at the top of the hut. "Truly we must stop Morak before Myrith is destroyed," she said.
Meanwhile Riv frowned at Morak. "Death is your destiny Riv the Legendary swordsman," he said. "And lucky you before you die you get to witness my transfer to immortality," Morak said. Riv looked around and it occured to him they were in the gateway.
Celestia stood there gasping at Morak. He smiled. "There is no more need for this form any more," Morak said.
Morak yelled. The blue background of the gateway suddenly turned black. A long dark creature came out from the darkness. This was the Death Lord.
Toshi stood up. Toku, Line, Veil, Asunan, and Tr'shiel looked at him. His eyes cleared up and he smiled. "What happened to you," Veil asked? Toshi said nothing but raised his arm into the air. He brought it down fasy upon the ground and the portal opened. The group stare at him. Veil ran along and as Toshi jumped fell into the portal she did too, with a little scream added.
Riv was now up against the wall attached with a slimy substance called Death Glue. Celestia was on the ground knocked out. Toshi floated in on the seen not noticing either but actually spotting Morak, He had the Death Lord running through his stomach and was transforming.

[Imp]

[color=purple]With all her might, Celestia pointed her wand at the ceiling and drew an imaginary circle, which transformed into a portal. Asunan, Amarest, and Mereduin fell through it. Mereduin flinched at the sight of Morak, but Amarest and Asunan dashed towards him, swords out and ready. Mereduin stayed behind and tried to comfort Celestia.

Riv tried to escape, but the glue prevented him from moving... Meanwhile, Toshi appeared out of nowhere. "Hey ladies, need some help?" he said as he took out his sword and dashed towards Morak. Morak took out a sword of fire and struck back. Meanwhile, Mereduin shot a fireball at Riv, burning the glue around him. Freed, Riv snuck up on Morak from behind, and within seconds, Morak was hit on the head by a swiftly swung Lemaria.

"Celestia! Celestia! Please, say something! Anything!" Mereduin cried. She tried to wake Celestia up, but she would not move nor breathe. "Asunan!"
"Yeah, what? I'm busy," Asunan whispered loudly.
"Please, if you don't mind, Celestia's dying, and..."
"And?"
"Can you help?"
"Ohhh... I don't have time for this, but I can't let anyone fall." And with that, Asunan prepared an arrow, chanting a prayer for Celestia and a curse for Morak as she did so. She shot the good arrow at Celestia's heart, healing her instantly. Celestia slowly got up...
"Gotta... stop... Morak..." Celestia muttered as she got up. Asunan nodded to her, and they tried to think of a plan. Then, a miracle happened...

Time stopped. Riv looked around, dumbfounded. "Did I do that?!" he asked himself out loud, confused. The others looked at him. "No," Toshi finally said. But Asunan and Celestia were talking frantically, trying to come up with a plan to stop Morak.
"We'll only speak to each other telepathically so Morak can't hear us..."
"We'll read his every move."
"We have predicted his fall..."
"There will be great sacrifice... and a miracle..."
"My... uncle..."
"Your what? Oh, you mean..."
"LUCEUS!!" they both shouted. Strangely enough, an angel holding a rainbow sword appeared in the center of the temple. Everyone was astounded.

"I have been sent here," Luceus announced in a loud and echoing voice, "to help you. Riv, Toshi, Asunan, Mereduin, Amarest, Celestia, Line... (Line appeared at that moment) My seven warriors, erm... (he looked at Celestia and shook his head) OK, [i]mostly[/i] warriors... Anyways, I have stopped time for you so that you may come up with a plan. Guys, this world will be saved, but I must face Morak alone. You all must leave."
"No! I'm staying!" Toshi shouted. "There's no way I'm about to quit."
"Yeah," said Riv. "With our combined forces, we'll never fall!"
"You can help," Line added, "but you can't stop us."
"We're on your side," Mereduin delared.
"My sis is right," Celestia said with a smile.
"With all our combined forces..." Amarest started, then looking at Asunan...
"We will triumph!" Asunan announced.
"GO!!!" everyone shouted in unison. Luceus smiled, giving them a "you are brave" look. Everyone looked at Morak, and time started again...[/color]

[Box Hoy]

Morak stood frozen but now the Deathlord was him and he was the deathlord. He could feel the souls flowing throguh his body. Morak threw up his hand. He created a beam of power and let it loose upon the attackers. Everyone was hit. Toshi fell to the ground. Luceus smiled. "You will do it my freinds. This is your destiny," he said. Morak smiled at Leceus. "This is not the time," Morak said. Toshi looked up confused. "What?"
Morak was different something was controlling him. The Death Lord had killed Morak and made his body his.

[Skitto]

"Helios," said Luceus (Helius is pronounced "Hey-lee-ohss").
"I see you remember me, my friend," said Helius.
"We are not friends!"
"Hmmm? I see you have changed also, you were on the path to my fate as a deathlord, but what I see before me is Luceus... an angel."
"I turned from the path to the fate you endure a long time ago Helios! I am not evil!"
"That's funny, that is the same exact thing that I said to the Devil when I was dropped into hell."
"I have been true to my word and will always be Helios!"
"Ummm. Excuse me can we get on with fighting each him instead of talking to him uncle?"
This last comment came from little Celestia, who had gotten up and was floating upwards to Lucius with an innocent face. Lucius and Helios glanced at each other, growled at each other, grunted at each other, then Luceus went back up to the heavens and said from behind the clouds, "You will need me. Not now I see though," so saying, the shadow with wings upon the cloud faded from it.

[color=purple]Asunan, Line, Riv, Mereduin, and Amarest got up soon after. "Be careful, eveyone!" Asunan shouted to everyone. "Helios is our new enemy!" Everyone took out their swords (except Mereduin and Celestia; they don't have swords) and pointed them at Helios. "Luceus is right," Riv declared. "This [i]is[/i] our destiny!" "Right," Toshi continued. "It is our fate to destroy the Death Lord for good!" "Even if it requires a sacrifice," Asunan announced. She looked sadly at the other Star Warriors. Then she looked at the rest of the group. She was worried and determined at the same time.

Helios absorbed a few more souls, then attacked by firing one at the group. Celestia tried to stop the attack but failed for some strange reason. "Celestia!" Mereduin shouted. "You need this I suppose!" She then took what looked like a crystal ball out of her basket and threw it to Celestia. Celestia didn't know what it was until Asunan told her telepathically... "It's an Ectoplasmic Transformer. It will let you use your powers against a ghost." Celestia nodded and held the ball up. The ball grew foggy, and the ghost halted. But then something went wrong. The ghost flew past Celestia and entered Asunan's body...

Asunan transformed at that moment. She looked like a dark angel, dressed all in black, holding a sword of darkness. Ravene.

"I am Ravene," the transformed Asunan declared, "and I rise from the darkness to engulf you in the evil within your heart..." Helios had an "I have no clue what you're talking about" look on his face. Ravene laughed. "I mean, darkness and evil are not the same thing. Darkness, in my case, is still on the good side, and I am still fighting you, you hell-bound pest!" She then closed her eyes and waited for the right time to make her move.[/color]

Toshi looked at the ball. His mind was reeling. Something seemed all too familiar. Suddenly there was a flashback. A boy stood in front of a man with a dark cloke and a pointy hat that pointed into the air and then drooped down . The boy had a weird ring around his rist that didn't touch but just floated around him. The boy attacked the pointy hat man and let the ring turn into a beam of spirits. The attack was unsuccelsful and the pointy hat man attacked the boy. He stole the ring and then the boy was thrown inside of it. The man took the ring and walked off. Toshi flashed back to the scene. He stared at Ravene. His freind through this adventure had been changed for eternity.
Helios snapped his fingers. Suddenly the army of Deathlords appeared behind him. They all laughed and scowled. They had chains and fire and they all were ready to kill them. Toshi withdrew his the sword of Sera, symbol of his country, the one he would not let be destroyed. Knowing this could very well be his last time withdrawing it from its sheath he walked forward to the front of his party.
"It's time for me to be a leader," he said. And with that he charged into battle against the deathlords. They whipped Toshi with their chains of cruelty and burned him with their unholy fire. Toshi just kept on slashing through.
Line and Tr'Shiel looked at Toshi with scared eyes. Each one had the power of Morak multiplied by One Hundred. Riv stood there. "This is his final battle," Riv said. He charged in.
