In the city of Ionia, there lived a boy named Jiro. He was just an ordinary 19 year old teen in his mind. But his ?normal? was to be change on this day when his city is attacked.
It all began when he was told he had to gather some food with his brother Vo.
VO: Jiro thanks for taking me with you. I know you been working around town?

Jiro stopped and smiled, he was looking at the city?s lake which full of fish.

Jiro: Vo you feel like fishing.

Vo nodded and got out his fishing pole, while Jiro slept on a tree branch. Suddenly something huge flew by and had blocked the sun.

Jiro: what the.. an airship around here.
He then quickly got up and grabbed Vo and ran towards the city, but he was too late. It had seem soldiers were coming out of the airship armed with swords and guns. They started burning the buildings of the city. Jiro rushed toward his house , but seem to be burning. He didn?t care and ran into the burning building.

Jiro: Father! Where are you?
He then heard a voice in the upper level of the house. He ran of stairs to the attic, and saw his father's crush by a book case.

Jiro:what happen here?

Father:they..they tried to take the sword

Jiro: What sword?

Father : the sword that is meant for you to defeat them with...it is over there is that case.

Jiro went and opened the case and saw a sword in it.

Father:USE IT
His father then took his las breath and died.

Jiro then looked out the window and seen Vo being killed by an soldier.

Jiro: NOOOOOO!
He then jumped out the window clucthing the sword

He landed on his feet and ran toward Vo, and picked him up.

Vo: Sorr...Sorry Jiro.
He then became lifeless, and Jiro was full of rage. Suddenly, his sword started to glow and his eyes became blood red. His teeth became fangs and his nails became claws. He charged a one soldiers and he had cut off his head.
The soldiers started to laughed and they became huge demons.
Soldiers: We are demons too. And that sword makes humans into demons.
Jiro wouldn't listen and began to slash people one by one. Until they were all dead, and then he noticed an axe above his head.

Man: Damn I miss

Jiro: Who are you?

Man: Lazkio, your wrost nightmare.

Anthony was in the woods shook up by his encounter with the old woman ( read bio in recruitment) when all of a sudden he saw smoke coming from his village. He rushed to his home to find the kind elderly people who raised him to be nowhere to be seen with the only home he ever knew burned down he was filled with rage.
Anthony then saw heard screaming and yelling he rushed to the area and saw a strange demon slashing through soldiers. He hid behind a tree and watched as another man came into the battle using an ax to try to chop of the demons head, but he missed. Anthony watched as the two readied for battle.

[Guest jro13]

Jiro grinned at the man with the huge axe, but suddenly he got out a 4 barrel shot gun pointed it to Jiro.
Man: You killed my minons you will pay for that you.....

Jiro: So you are in charge why do you use human weapons?

Man: you want to see my demon form oK. And I guess you want to know my real name.
The man dropped his weapons and had let out an howl, suddenly he became a raging wolf demon.

The Wolf Demon: The name is Xeo, and I will kill you

Xeo ran toward him and grabbed him by the neck.

Xeo: you make me sick Jiro Ortega
Suddenly a man with a mask yelled and somehow stop him.

Masked man: lets go Xeo

Xeo: we will meet again and next time I will kill you.

Anthony: get a life.
But Xeo ignored him and went of the airship , and flew out to space. And Jiro dropped the sword and turned human again

Jim was walking in the mall with some friends having a good time just hanging out and shopping, but they had to leave early and Jim still wanted to walk around. So he decided to go to the food court and get some Subs, but to his surprise there was a large crowd ther already. Everyone was in the center of the court looking at the different mometors that they had. All of them were showing different news channels that had minute to minute updates on something. When Jim looked at one there were soldiers coming uot from an airship and wrecking the city apart. He turned to another one and saw a news-woman reporting something, everyone got quiet when she started to speak.

"This just in....More rampage is going on throughout the city of Ionia, the army is launching a full on attack on its own civillian home town. It seems that there is no one safe from the powerfull strike of the army, all we can do now is hide or run away ~~~" The channel went dead as a bullet shot at the T.V and everyone screamed and ran in different directions. Jim ducked down to see that there were some millitary personel in the mall who came in silently, they must be the stealth squade or something like that.

"Everyone freeze or we'll open fire" One of the soldiers said, but no one was paying attention. So they began to open fire upon women, children, and the elderly bunch as well.

"This...this is madness. Why would they do something like this?" Jim asked himself as he watched dead bodies fal to the ground quickly and twitching as they layed their in their own puddle of blood. Jim grabbed a couple of smoke bombs from his jacket and threw them in different directions to the soliers couldn't see a thing. Suddenly, smoke filled the food court up and people were able to get out safely...the ones who survived at least. Jim made a run for it on the other side, but was caught and put over a soldiers sholders.

"Let me go you beast" Jim said as he squirmed and tried to get free, but the man was very strong and and didn't feel a thing when Jim hit him. Before he knew it he was facing a general in a shinny uniform.

"Hello Jim....your father and other military families are to report to the shelters immediatly." The man said, Jim's eyes widen as he saw this man, he was a friend of his fathers.

"No...let me go now!" Jim demanded, but everyone on the soldies started to walk out and head back to the ships. "Let me go" Jim continued to yell.

[0ber0n the Neko]

Blue percieved the conflict in the villiage. He sighed, and stood up. He watched as some demon troops were running away from it. Blue smiled and ran up to meet them. They looked at him quizzically. "Who are you? State your allegiance!" One of the demons yelled. He held up his sword to accent his point.

Blue only smiled. The demon with the sword eyed him warily, shaking. "I belong to no one, and no one wishes for me to belong.", Blue said. he pulled out his longpole. "You, my friend, especially. You are a squadron commander in Rakk't Tosk, am I correct?"

The demon looked at him, astonished. "How did you know!?" He asked, puttting the sword at Blue's neck.

"I know more about you than you might think...brother."

"What?!"

"I have been wandering a long time to see you..." Blue knocked the sword away from his neck, "and kill you."

The demon's bodyguards ran in front of him. Blue stabbed his pole into the sternum of the first, jabbing it in hard. He picked him up with the pole, and raised him above his head. Blue jumped up and stabbed the demon into the ground, and the first bodyguard was dead. Another bodyguard came running at him, followed by two others. Blue used the body at the end of the pole, and flung it at them. A bodyguard came up behind him, and Blue hit her with a slashing motion with his pole. Her neck snapped.

"Fallen Dragon..." Blue said to himself. "Stage one."

He started to spin the pole above his head. It came down on the head of another bodyguard. The skull snapped beneath the pressure. Blue put his pole into his neck's soft area, and fung the body at one of the other bodyguards.

"Flying Dragon... Stage two."

A bodyguard came rushing at him, sword raised. Blue flung his staff at him. When it connected, it went through the bare-skinned demon. It ricocheted off of a rock, and as Blue ran to grab it, two bodyguards came running at him.

"East Dragon" Blue said louder. "Stage three."

He picked it up, on the ground. He climbed up the upright pole, and picked it out under him. He performed an overhead slash on the first, and as the second closed in, Blue broke his legs with a leg sweep attack.

The last one left was Blue's brother.

"NORTHERN DRAGON!" Blue yelled. "Stage six!"

The pole was electro-charged. He ran towards his brother, the end of his pole balanced on his palm. When he reached his brother, he jabbed the pole through his head. The body spasmed on the pole, a hole being made through between its eyes.

Blue threw it off, and sat down again.

"Well, they need to choose their commanders more carefully..." Blue said to himself.

"They most certainly do..." an unfamiliar voice said beind him.

He turned around and saw a human.

[Falkon]

"Well, they need to choose their commanders more carefully..." Blue said to himself.

"They most certainly do..." an unfamiliar voice said beind him.

He turned around and saw a human.

"Hello," Kirohiko said with his left hand on his sword. Kirohiko unsheaths his sword just as Blue strikes with his longpole down at his head. He pulls his sword out just in time to prevent the impact.
"Whoa! Hey, I'm not here to hurt you! I want to ally you. I have seen you fight in battle, and i belive we can help each other..." Kirohiko trails off.

"Hmm...i have been betrayed by many humans. How do i know to trust you?!" Blue says.

"Look, we both hate demons, right?"

"...Yes."

"And we both want to stop them, right?" Kirohiko asks.

"Ok, i see your point." Blue takes back his longpole.

Kirohiko sheaths his sword. "Kirohiko Izumi." he introduces himself and reaches out a hand.

"Blue Myers." He returns Kirohikos handshake.

"ok. I have osme leads on whos leading the demons. Its...hard to tell you this but...Your father is leading them. We must stop him."

"I've got NO problem with that," Blue replies.

[Orcus]

Toro laughed suddenly.

Blue and Kirohiko turn quickly and reach for their weapons.

"Heh.Slow down there"Toro limps out of the shadows"I'm injured, could..you...unh!"

Blue runs forward as Toro collapses."What happened!"Blue askes sullenly.

"N..nothing, justa run in with one of the elite squadrons.I can't believe their allowing demons to be soldiers now..."Toro winces then continues," You two just formed an alliance, no?"

Blue and Kirohiko nod thier heads.

"Well than..."Toro struggles to stand up," You just got yourselves another ally.The names Toro Dasianu. And you guys would be..?"

With a grin Blue replies" The names Blue Myers" Blue nods to Kirohiko" and he's Kirohiko Izumi".

"A pleasure to meet you" Kirohiko announces.

"The pleasures all mine" says Toro broadley" anyone against the demons has my respect." Toro looks around, " You, Blue.You fight with a pole, and Kirohiko over there fights with a sword."

Blue nods, curious" Yes, so?"

"I've seen your weapons", he pulls his trench coat back revealing two katanas,"I figure it's only fair to show you my weapons.Meet the Shiroshimes."

Suddenley he becomes serious" So now that we're all introduced, where do we go from here ?"

[James P. Galvatron]

Jiro and Anthony stood shocked by what they saw around them their whole village, their life, and their loved ones all taken in an instance by someone who they did not even know.
"Who could have done this and why?" said Anthony as he slumped onto the ground.
After seeing what Jiro had become and rescued him from the demon slayer Anthony had ran to look behind the burned buildings ti find survivors.
"There's no one here not one person not even any food,"groaned Anthony,"Jiro have you seen anything, because I sure haven't." Anthony yelled to Jiro who was down farther from him, but it seemed as if Jiro had his mind on something else or someone else.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------PS: I am kinda confused here what century or era does this take place cause Jro13, Yotska,Falkon, Ober0n, and me all are talking about some old rural village so I'm thinking this is taking placing in an old time, yet Mage15 is talking about this civilized Futuristic Society. Are we all on the same base here.

[Kayin Cloud]

"Dammit!" Kayin slashed his katana through a tree. "Why did they have to take them away?" Kayin relaxed and sheathed his sword. He began walking away and the tree fell after he left its reach. [I]I better get back before my new home is destroyed too.[/I] Kayin thought. He ran back to the villiage only to find it competely empty. "What happened? Is anyone here?" Kayin shouted.

"Maybe it's a survivor." A voice said. A man approached Kayin, "Are you from this villiage?"

"Yes I am. Who are you and where is everyone?" Kayin replied.

"I'm from this villiage as well. My name is Anthony and I don't know what happened to everyone. Who are you?" Anthony answered.

"My name is Kayin."

[0ber0n the Neko]

"Well, let's see..." Blue said to himself. "If the person behind all of this is my father... then we should try to find my siblings... you know, wrench some info from them..." Blue pulled out his staff. "By force if necessary."

"I have no problem with that... how about you, Toro?" Kirohiko said plainly, leaning against a tree.

"Sounds good to me..." Toro said. He clutched his wound, using a light healing spell on it.

"Alright. My sister Gress will most likely be somewhere in Altan. You know, the mountain range?"

"Hmmm... Isn't that area treacherous? Like a lot of avalanches?" Toro asked.

"Yeah. I just hope we don't run into any. Luckily for us, I have a favor with someone there in that town." Blue replied. "Should we go?"

[Orcus]

"Should we go?"

"yah, I'm all set", replied Toro,"lets head o....?"He was feircley interuppted by the sound of a wolf howling." Damn! I completely forgot" he turns to the others,"allow me to introduce, Kairo, my Guardian Beast." Then out of the sky leaped a silver wolf with blue eyes. He stared deeply at the Blue, than at Kirohiko,and then nodded back at Toro, as if giving his approval.

"Interesting...."Blue said, confused,"but I thought you didn't like demons?"

Toro grinned widely "He's not a demon.This fox has my fathers spirit in it"Toro drifts over and pets Kairo,"So, waddya think? He okay with you guys?"

"Sure"replied blue.

"Of course, the more the merrier", Kirohiko chipped in.

Kairo turned his head quickly and growled."He senses a dark energy" Toro said sadly, "We must leave at once."

"Heh, too late for that" came a voice from the darkness.A tall tri-horned demon stepped into the light,"Excuse my breach of ettiquette, my name is Hotori Tatzzi. I was ordered to kill you."

Blue reached for his weapon"No,no." Toro taps his shoulder, "I'll take care of this one."Toro unsheathed his blade," This'll take 5 minutes." "heh, heh,heh, you jest fool." The demon licked his claws," I can't wait to taste your blood. Hah, hah, hah!"Toro closed his eyes.

"Shiroshime style:Flaming whirlwind!!" Toro jumped into the air and created a whirlwind of fire around his blade, "your life ends now, DEMON!!" Toro drove his blade straight through the demons skull, and watched as the corpse fell to the ground.

"Too easy..."Toro murmured to himself.

[Guest jro13]

Jiro got up to his feet, but suddenly his sword exploded in his hand." Damnmit" said Jiro, Anthony help him up and he pointed out a road, " Over there we cannot do anything in this place.
Jiro and Anthony continued to walk down the road, until something sped past them and stop in front of Anthony.

There was boy , he was a monster. He had horns and a dragon's wings and tail. Also, had eyes like a blood hungry hound. He stuck out his claws ready to fight.

James stood out " I will fight you with my bare hands",said James angrily. "Ha, mere human cannot defeat Zia",said the boy. "Wacth me!'Jiro yelled.

Anthony climb up a tree to wacth the battle. Zia charged at Jiro grabbed him by the head, and threw him into a tree.

Jiro got up slowly with blood on his face. He then ran toward Zia and disapeared. Next thing that happen was Jiro reappearing, and punching Zia a hundred times in the face.

Then a blue aura surronded Jiro and eyes turned blue. He was about to perform an attack that his father taught him.But Zia then grabbed him by the stomach, and spun him into the air.

[Falkon]

OOC: That was kinda god-modding, wasnt it yotska?

IC:
"Too easy..." Toro murmered to himself.

"Yes, well let us hope there are not any harder monsters along the path to Altan," Kirohiko says flatly. "Well, we best be on our journey to seek Blue's siblings. Let's get going. Oh, by the way, nice wolf ya got there," Kirohiko grins.

Toro says, "Yes, he is quite an interesting beast."

The three start walking along the long trail to the Altan mountains, hoping that they would find Gress there.

"Wait!" Toro says. "Seems like another demon is upon us-"

Just then, a huge 25 foot tall demon jumps in front of them.

"Hmm. I don't think this will be as easy this time," Kirohiko says, drawing his sword from its sheath.

[0ber0n the Neko]

OOC: Well, he wasn't really God-modding. Considering it was ONE demon, Falkon.

IC:

Kirohiko ran at the demon with his sword, and cut its arm off. The demon wailed in agony. Toro stabbed it in it's abdomen.

"Okay guys, I'm gonna try something. Keep him busy!" Blue yelled.

Toro and Kirohiko nodded in consent. They were making good time, and keeping the colossus fairly busy.

"ANCIENT DRAGON!" Blue yelled. "Stage ten!"

He held out his staff, aglow with a frightening and ancient power. Toro cut off the demon's last leg. It was now a demon torso. It was the perfect target. Then, as quickly as the demon could blink, he had at least ten different holes in him. Blue put away his pole.

He sat down and caught his breath.

Blue clapped, almost mockingly. "Wasn't much of a challenge, was he?"

He recieved his answer. All of them began to laugh uncontrollably.

Blue smiled and said. "Well, let's hope we do that well all the time and that wasn't a fluke... Considering we'll be facing my family, among which are the most powerful demons on this world." he smirked. "Too bad they've got US to deal with."

"Oh, certainly." Kirohiko said with a small laugh.

Blue suddenly changed expression. "Damn. We can't let anyone else in the team, alright?"

"Why not?" Kirohiko asked, being the one who had suggested otherwise.

"Because. We need to seem like a small threat. If my family finds out that there are more than three-" he looked at the wolf "maybe four of us, they would send the entire demon hordes. No matter how good you are, the ENTIRE thing. That's too much for anyone. We need to travel light. Maybe if my sister agrees... We can have five."

"Wait, your sister may agree to help us?"

"She's my younger sister. I was exiled when I was three. She doesn't know who I am. Or at least I don't THINK she does." he looked glum. "If she does, we're going to have a BIG problem."

"Well, we'll just deal deal with it!" Toro said boldly.

"She has command of over half of the entire demon army. I don't think that's a risk we want to take, Blue." Kirohiko said.

"She may be the only chance we have." Blue said. "That's a risk worth taking."

Screams and negative energy rose from Ionia.

"Should we help them?" Toro asked.

Blue stood for awhile.He was trying to hide the fact that he was unsure. He was anxious to see how his little sister was doing. She was a good kid. She was probably doing much better than he was doing right now.

[i]All because of my damned power...[/i] Blue thought to himself. [i]My power gives me a responsibility...[/i]

"Let's go." Blue said. He drew his pole and they dove into the city's depths.

OOC: Ok, guys. DO NOT join up with our party. We're going to try and be an opposing force. I hope that's okay... It just makes the story more interesting...

[Falkon]

THe three enter the small town just in time to see Jiro thrown into the air by Zia.

"Should we help him?" Toro asks.

"I think so," Blue replies.

Kirohiko agrees, "As do ."

They run up to Zia and Kirohiko curses loudly at him to put Jiro down.

"Pitiful Mortals!" Zia laughs at them.

"Yeah, you keep saying that. We'll see whats down in a minute!"Kirohiko challenges. He quickly pulls his sword out of its sheath and slashes at the demon. The demon jumps back quickly, laughing. "HAHAHA! you will never defeat me!"
Blue jumps in and attacks with his pole from Zias side. Again, the monster effortlessly dodges this attack.

"Blue! Do a special on him!" Toro says, as he rushes at Zia with his katanas drawn. Zia dodges, but this time, catches a small part of Kirohiko's blade.
"GODDAMN YOU!" he yells.
Zia rushes at Kirohiko and slashes at his body. He doesnt moves in time and one of Zia's claws tears easily through Kirohikos side.

"F**K!" Kirohiko says, grasping for breath and holding his side. "We...must...defeat him!"

[0ber0n the Neko]

"Try a special on him!" Kirohiko said.

[i]Specials? Hmmm... Let's try something fast... Southern Dragon might be a good-[/i]

"GODDAMN YOU!!!!" Kirohiko yelled.

The demon slashed through his skin like a hot knife through butter.

Blue barely dodged another attack by the demon. [i]Southern won't be powerful enough... I don't have anything faster... Let's just make something up as I go...[/i]

"NOVA DRAGON" [i]Just a fancy way of saying I have no idea what the HELL I'm doing...[/i] "Phase Eleven!"

Blue shifted his hands to the bottom of his pole. He swung, and the demon dodged. [I]Perfect![/i] Blue thought. He did a ninety degree swing, as the demon dodged, he stabbed. He connected!

Kirohiko ran at the dazed demon. He cut, and the blade went deep into the demon's skin. It didn't slice anything off, but it did significant damage. Toro ran in for a strike, but the demon had already dodged.

Instead, he was launched further forward into a building by the wolf's incredible fist.

[I]An opprotunity![/i] Blue thought.

"DRAGON CAGE!!!" Blue screamed. The wolf turned just in time to see a magical barrier appear around Blue.

The pole was swung, almost too fast for the demon. "Nice try, Kid."

Blue shot his palm into the air. "DRAGON WINGS!"

"What?" The wolf demon said in disbelief as Blue suddenly disappeared.

Kirohiko came out of absolutely nowhere at an insane speed. He cut the wolf four times before it could even react. Toro dislodged himself from the building. He was very pissed.

"DRAGON FLAME!" Blue said, gesturing toward Toro.

Toro suddenly felt his anger reach its limit, and he released his wing. He pulled out his twin Katanas. The wolf was looking to escape Kirohiko's assault, when he found his back being sauteed.

"Wh-What?" The wolf backed off, seeming defeated. "This-this can't be! I won't be killed here!" The wolf jumped high into the air, over the buildings, and off he went.

Jiro watched as the wolf departed.

"You guys... why did you help me?"

"Well, we weren't really planning on it..." Blue said. "I just have a connection here in town. And I figured this guy wasn't going to tell me." He gestured toward the wolf-demon's escape route.

"Well, anyway. We're looking for a one Siroshiama."

Jiro was alarmed. He reached for his sword and didn't find it.

"How do you know him!?" He asked.

"Well, he owes me a favor. I helped him build his house. He was an excellent Blacksmith."

"He- he was my father..."

"Oh? Was? What happened!?"

"He... when the demons came..."

Blue lowered his head in reverence. "Dios bless his soul..."

Jiro looked at him, wild eyed. "DIOS IS A DEMON GOD! YOU DON'T FOOL ME FOR A SECOND!"

Blue looked at the broken child.

"I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY HOME!" The boy outstretched his arm. A sword appeared.

"The Sword! That's your father's!"

The boy was filled with silent rage. He lashed out at Blue with all his might. Blue barely missed the blow.

"Whoa! Stop it, kid." Blue said. It was no use. The kid was going to kill him. "I'll leave. You cool your head, kid."

Blue said some aercane words, and he, Kirohiko and Toro disappeared.

[Orcus]

Blue said some aercane words, and he, Kirohoki and Toro disappeared. They reappered in the outskirts of the village, and Toro was even more pissed."Damn!!", Toro yelled in outrage," That demon was getting the best of us, and when we're finally startin' to kick it's ***, it runs away.Then the kid we save goes ballistic and tries to kill us!! Some repayment that was." Toro kicks the ground in digust."Dios is one of the few Demon gods who favor humans. He must really hold a grudge against demons. But still...argh!!" Toro was practically steaming.

"Keep your cool, Toro. It's over now", Blue replies reassuringly," Lets just hope that the next time we meet that kid he's in a better attitude". Toro grins." If he's not...", Toro slams his fist into his other hand," he's not gonna be to happy."

Kirohiko nodded." I agree, but we don't have time to sit around and sulk. We need to find your sister, Blue",kirohiko glances over at Blue,"let's hurry up and find her. Where is she anyway?"

"Well...," Blue looks over into the distance,"judging from where we are now, we should head in that direction, towards that hut in the distance". He points over to the mountain range.It's the fastest root."

Kairo howls and trots onwards in the direction of the mountains. Toro laughs,"well, I guess if Kairo's ready to go", he turns and begins walking in the same direction,"then so am I."After a short period of walking, they encounter a small clan of demon chiklets.

"This is a waiste of time", Kirohiko says, irrtated."Don't worry, look at those demons", Toro says in between chuckles,"they can barely defend themselves. Let's just leave them."They turn and begin walking away when a giant demon bird hovers down in front of them. "You, humans",the creature says feircley," a while ago a young boy ran wildley into my nest and slaughtered my kin. One of you did it, didn't you!! I know it".It slowly gets larger and larger and soon resembles a dragon more than a bird."I'll roast you alive!!"The dragon rears it's head back and shoots a giantt fireball at them.

Toro gets angry.[I]It must of been that kid who attacked us[/I], he says in his mind."I'm starting to think we'll never make it to your sister!"He begins to draw his blades, then stops and resheathes them.

Blue stares questioningly,"Um...what are you doing?"Toro calms down, walks over to a rock and gets comfortable."I'm tired, and you two must be also",Blue and Kirohiko nod. Toro continues, "Well than, let Kairo take care of things."

Kairo walks over towards the towering dragon. Kirohiko shakes his head,"Kairo's gonna die..."Kirohiko murmurs to Blue."Look at...the...difference in...size..", his eyes become big and he points towards the scene of the fight. Blue turns and is shocked by what is seen. Kairo is now the same size as the dragon and changed physically. It's eyes phased from blue to red, and it developed to wings.

Kirohiko glares at Toro,"I thought you said that thing is your father, or something like that!"Toro grins,"That is my father. Or was. He was born as the great Demon God, Tyranos of the wind. He took a human form for his own,and became mortal."Toro takes a break and then finishes speaking." But he retained his powers. When he died his soul and powers fused and created...well, that."

"He isn't that diferent form me...",Blue murmurs under his voice. Toro looks over and smiles at Blue. Blue is taken aback by the gesture. Toro gances over at the battle taking place and he frowns,"We missed all the action." Toro gets up and starts along the path again.

Blue and Kirohiko look over at Kairo and the bird."What the..."Kirohiko stutters. Kairo walks away from the dragon, who has been ripped apart. Kairo meets with Toro and the two head off. "Are you two coming?",Toro yells back. Kirohiko glances at Blue and the two shrug and begin walking.

After a short peroid of walking Blue spots something. "That hut...that's it! That's my sister's house!" He bolts of in that direction with Toro, Kirohiko, and Kairo not far behind. Smoke is coming from the chimmeny, and there is a welcome mat in front.

"I feel right at home", Toro muses, then turns to Blue."She's your sister, you do the honors." [I]I hope he's right, if he's not...[/I],he trails off in his mind.

Blue begins knocking and a sound is heard from inside the house."Well it's now or never...",Kirohiko adds nervously.

[0ber0n the Neko]

An old woman stepped out of the hut. "How may I help you?"

Blue, almost businesslike, shoved a gold piece into her open palm. "We're here to see the lord of the castle."

"Ah, well come this way." she said.

She led the team into her house. It seemed perfectly normal, except that there was a castle in the back that was previously invisible. The old woman stepped through the barrier seperating the two buildings. She stopped being an old woman, and became a hulking demon. They followed the demon's lead, and soon came to a large hall with a huge pair of doors.

The large demon walked them to the doors and opened them up for the party. "Step inside here, and tell me if there is anything you may need." He left with a small (well, actually quite large, but not very large for him) bow, and then left.

Blue walked through the doors, still in his poker face. He looked as if he was going to play a very high stakes game, which could cost them all their lives.

This was, essentially, the whole of the situation.

"Gress! Are you there?" Blue said. He didn't betray any emotion through his cry.

"I'm here. Give a moment, won't you?"

A pre-teen looking young girl came out from behind the throne. She was actually quite pretty for one of her age. "Yes? What is it you want?"

"I would like to use your army to help us with this task."

Gress, with a poker face similar to Blue's, sat tiredly in her throne. "You came here to ask me for my greatest possession to destroy my father? You certainly are a brave one, considering there was a great chance I would find out your secret, Blue." She said, using a smiling variation on the poker face. You could only guess if she knew.

"And you think I have a secret?" Blue said, not ready to fold just yet.

"I know you have one. I also know what it is, [i]brother[/i]."

Blue's face slipped for a very brief moment, letting a peek of fear into his expression. "So, you have found me out, have you? Well, did you want to kill me yourself? I mean, letting us all the way inside your castle unharmed and without bondage... it doesn't sound like your tactics, Gress."

Gress merely kept smiling. She pulled a rapier from her belt, and held it out over Blue's head.

It was handed to him.

"Go on ahead, General Blue. My army is under your command."
