As Takin didn't have a weapon to fight the dolls with, he did his best and dodged all their attacks, but he knew that he wouldn't be able to escape forever... He decided to attack a few times with bare hands, which seemed to do some effect, but not very much. he was already on the 12th ring, after struggling with the spears that come out, (There are 15.), but it seemed that every ring he goes through it just gets harder....

Statue: "Well! You are much more tougher than what I expected... Go my dolls! Blow yourself if you have to!"
Takin: *sweats* {Blow themselves?... Not good...}
Statue: "What's wrong? Getting tired?..."
Takin: "Not yet! I will get through!!......."
Statue: "You've just sealed your fate..."
Takin: "You intend to kill me?"
Statue: ".... To keep you from what I must have!!"
Takin: *gets curious* "Hmm? There's something at the end of this thing?"
Statue: "...."
Takin: "Let's find out!" *jumps over the 14th ring, whose spears had scratched his leg...* "Oh no... N..."
Statue: *grin*
*Takin drops on the floor and holds his wound..* {What now?... I can't jump this final ring....} *suddenly, the same mysterious person appears* "You can do it! This should help you."
Statue: "What in hell are you doing!?"
Person: "Just because you have potential to control Jinkarize doesn't mean you're the only one that has the ability!"
Takin: "?.... M..My leg?... I it's feeling better!!!! Thanks!"
Person: "You are the chosen one I'm sure... Take this ability too." *casts a unknown support magic and disappears*
Statue: "... It's too late... you win... Here.." *makes the final ring disappear* "Maybe I shouldn't have been so greedy... Jinkarize is powerful... But only the Chosen one has the power to unleash it's ultimate power."
Takin: "Uhh... What is Jinkarize...?"
Statue: "......"
True Form
*STatue reveals a door....* "Go here..."
Takin: ?? *walks inside*
...................
*door closes behind Takin* You have finally come
Takin: "Who said that?! What the...!?" *light closes in on Takin and encloses him .... The light carries Takin and warps through the air... Takin blacksout, due to dizziness....*

.................................................. .................................
?: "It will be fulfilled..." *a orb comes down on Takin's body... by the time it happens... He stands up unconscious still, and his former little body becomes bigger... He still looks weak.. But has grown incredible strength... The final... step.... sparks fly.....*
?: "It's been finished.... You may go...."
*back to the real world*
Takin: "?? Err what.... just happened?.... !! Gharol!?.."
Gharol: "Ergh.... Your alter ego has come back..." *faints and drops on the floor*
Takin: *touches Gharol's back and green colored lightning comes out!* "Whoa!?" *the hole in Gharol is getting slowly smaller...*
Takin: *looks at his hands in horror* "What's going on!?..." *notices the letter and picks it up, reads it, and packs a few things and stuffs the letter in his pocket* "I'll be back... There's something I must do.. You will be ok..." *places the last bottle of rum on the table, with a written note* "goodbye my friend..."
*sets on a journey that would forevermore change him.*

[ooc]there ya have it. He's now on his way towards the city where everyone else is, because the person who sent the letter lives there. Actually, he was an old time friend... Troubled by dreams he doesn't understand. But then again, I forgot the name of the city, but I know he's headed there.[/ooc]

The glistening lights of the night were very special to see after having run through a desert for so long. Normally, after going through the desert, passions and emotions would stir around aspiring couples that were on a journey to become the most well-known people for something. Each passing night and day allowed for more of those couples to appear all around the city, all in different forms, shapes, and sizes. In fact, people were still stirring within allyways in conquest to fulfill those activated passions that they so wanted to nurture for further feeling.

It was this that made Rawk just a little uncomfortable as he sat next to the sleeping Akiko. He looked at her, and noticed that she barely moved, even in breathing. Her body never moved too much, never disturbing so much as a fly. He tried to trace any and all movements from her stomach and her arms, all the way down to the curve of her hip, before decency and embarressment stopped him. Now that he had a chance to think about it, Akiko was kind of cute when she was asleep. That small expression on her face, the shimmer of her vibrant hair, and smoothness of all of her curves and skin became an image of adorability to Rawk.

He suddenly swallowed hard, as he lay down near Akiko to try and get some rest as well. He closed his eyes, and waited in anticipation of sleep and rest. However, he opened his eyes again, and closed them again, and continued this cycle every five minutes between each. The image of Akiko tackling him was starting to be seen with each shutting of the eyes, and it was becoming both infectious and annoying.
He liked reliving the past, but this was becoming ridiculous.
He sat up again, and looked at the lamp nearest to them. Perhaps there was something in that light that he could look at and apply his attention to until he went to sleep. He closed his eyes after seeing the image of the fire, and kept that image of the warm, dancing glow in his mind. He watched as it moved all around in little circles, and then out of his sight. When it came back, it was a little larger, and it wasn't dancing anymore. It was also very circular, and was leaving behind small trails of light.
It moved left... to right... to the top of his view... then the bottom... and then into the middle again. Then, it began to expand, and the light began to engulf his entire sight with Pinkish delight, before sending him into a world with a balcony that held within it three notes of a song that sung themselves and ended quickly.

Quietly, Akiko looked at Rawk as he slept. Assured that he was asleep, she quietly sung a small tune to the fox as well, and though he was very perky, he also fell into a soft sleep. With both of the people who were with her being asleep, Akiko was able to smile upon herself once more. She quietly lay herself down between them, and, feeling remotely safe and happy again, fell asleep.

[ooc]Whatever you guys are gonna do, do it soon. Please. [/ooc]

The figure Raised his head a little and noticed some creature looking at it.

?:{Dang, he saw me, sure i already saw him before. Before i get caugh i must act}

The figure started to whispered a name and called out for the darkness asking for something. A small storm brewed inside the walls of the village. the sand rised and came out of the cemetary. following the path and passed by the shadowy creature.

In the cemetary. one of the tomb was seen with a hand rising thru the ground until it uncovered the dead who was lying there before. soon many other skeletons came out of their graves. Walking toward the city !

After the sands passed by the shadow creatures had vanished. but those skeletons from the cemetary were there.

They walked toward the houses and the central lane.

TO BE CONTINUED...

UDES:"What the..."
Udes turned around and came back to the window he had just looked thru. when he looked thru it he saw the gargoyle he had sawbefore, it was arthus. he was fleeing the scene and looked in a hurry, when suddently a sand storm passed by. Udes couldn't do anything else then just step a few feets away fromt he window. wondering what it was all about. When he looke dthru the window again, the gargoyle was nowhere to be seen and from the look of it. nothing else was. UDES looked down into the alley. only to see something he didn't wanna see in this village !

UDES:"WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE THINGS !"

He leaped thru the room toward his bed and started to equip all he could, putting on his armor, then hi pads, then taking out his sword. He ran thru the doorway at running speed and ran down the stairs like he was followed by a dragon. he stepped thru the door to see what was going on. As he looked around, all he could see was skeletons swarming the place, scaring people, entering houses and inns. It was a massacre !

UDES:"No, not here as well. why is this nightmare haunting me like that."

Udes looked around and saw some of them walking toward him

UDES:"ah please tell me this isn't real !"

Udes took out his sword and ran thru the approaching skeletons who tryed to get him, but he jumped and tackled them to get thru. He ran toward the gate where the others were. Cutting and splatting bones on houses and on the floor while still going forward.

UDES:"Please tell me you know how to defend yourselves until i get there !"

TO BE CONTINUED...

[OOC]Sorry kalem, but my character will bring the blame on you as he saw you before seeing the skeletons ! too bad, if he had looked down int he street he would have seen the truth ! lol :colgate: [/OOC]

"Mmmph ... buh."
Rawk awoke to the sound of screaming and clashing.
"Gyah!" He shrieked as he jumped to his feet.
There were skeletons ... everywhere! The were all over the streets and buildings, swarming like ants. Rawk looked down at Akiko in amazement at the fact that she was still sleeping. He reached down to wake her up.
"Akiko! GET UP!" Rawk shouted.
She too jumped to her feet with a shriek. Akiko gave Rawk a puzzled look as he stood, gazing down on her. The Loach moved out of Akiko's view. In horror, she gasped. She was about to scream, but Rawk quickly covered her mouth.
"Nuh-uh. Don't make any noise ... maybe they won't notice us." Rawk looked back, "Let's try to get this gate open."
As he walked toward the winch, his foot got caught under a rock and he tripped with a loud grunt.
"Rawk! Rawk!" Akiko shouted, "They're coming this way!"
Two skeletons were running toward Akiko, with their arms flailing and jaws gnashing in a fury of mindless chaos. Rawk quickly got up and dashed toward them in return. His arm was streched behind him and as he encountered one of the skeletons, he flung it over his shoulder and smashed its head into the ground. but by the time Rawk could lift his head, the second skeleton was there, clawing at his face. The Loach roared and fell on his back, and Mr.Bones wasn't too shy to follow. It leaped onto Rawk, reaching for his throat, but Rawk rolled out of the way, lifted his foot in the air, and brought it down like a ton of bricks on the skeleton's spine.
By that time, there were a dozen more undead running Rawk's way. Without looking back, he shouted, "Akiko, hide!"
She obeyed without hesitation and ran behind a thick tree, not too far from where she was standing. She climbed it carefully, as not to be seen, so she could keep an eye on Rawk.
Rawk bent down and picked up one of the skulls. Sharply, he hurled it at one of the mindless beings and nocked its head off. The skeletonswere getting more and more unorganized as they ran toward Rawk; so much that they were tripping over eachother. Rawk saw this as an advantage and began to run toward them as well. When he reached them, he threw his arms in front of him, plowing over a few, trampling them onto the ground. He looked around, in his fighting stance, and found that there were about three more than before. He flung his body, spinning, into the air with is leg streched outward. To of the undead were hit to the ground - one didn't get up. As Rawk landed, he pushed farward, punching and kicking. Soon, he found himself in the middle of a big clufuffle. He ducked, punched, jumped, kicked, ducked, moved to the left, jumped to the right, punched, kicked, kicked ... he was losing energy, and he was doing so very quickly. It wasn't long until he was overwhelmed and Akiko lost sight of him among those fifteen skeletons who were pounding away at something within them.

Udes ran toward the gate, the skeletons started to get less and less trying to get him as he passed with great speed. until he arrived there seeing only a lot of skeletons bashing at something, it was funny tho, as they seemed to hit each other. but the fact was, if they were that many it could only means that there was someone under them.

UDES:"Maybe they're dead already... Nah jump in for damn sake !"

Udes started to run on four legs, running to his maximum speed, reaching full velocity, the skeletons didn't noticed him they were too happy bashing and clawing at the poor thing. when he was about to ram them all like a dog in a bowling alley.

UDES:"CHARGEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!"

Ude jumped in, ramming all he could. around 8 to 10 of them were knocked off the pile getting throwed at the ground and Udes Rolled as soon as he landed, then rolled back on his feet. looking at what he had just made. 2 or 3 were still bashing at the poor rawk. but all UDES could see was that he could bare it enough to fight back now ! looking around seeing the girl who was supposed to be here as well. but without seeing her. he was surprised by a skeleton who jumped in and grabbed onto him almost by the wings. Udes started to spin around trying to shake him off, but 2 others came in and tryed claw him int he face.

UDES:"You little..."
Udes throwed himself on the ground he fell on his back, it hurted when he landed as the bones on his back were hard. but the skeleton was no more then he saw the other two following him jumping on him. he grabed one by the head with his arms and throwed him sideways. the other one hitted the target and goes for the neck. putting his hands back on the hands of the skeleton, who actually was trying to break UDES neck, he grabbed the skeletons chest with his legs and rolled backward with him, switching position witht he skeleton who now was getting smashed into pieces by the hands ofudes.

He leaped back on his feets and looked behind him to see how rawk was doing. The least Udes could say was that , just like him, they both had their hands full now. more help was needed... truly needed !

"<span style='font-family:Lucida Handwriting'>Taenarushirabe..</span>!"
A small, but strong voice went through the air, and found its way to Udes' ears. Mind you, it wasn't the only thing that found its way to him. Only a mere moment after he heard the voice, something struck him on his back. However, after that split second of shock, he started to feel less pain all over. Was the pink light that he saw coming from behind part of this? For that thought, Udes decided to turn very quickly to see where the light was coming from.
Wasn't it a surprise when he saw little Akiko floating down from the tree engulfed in light pink colors. He watched her float down to the ground, and as she gently stepped onto the ground, he could have sworn that she looked a just little too content. In fact, she seemed to be perfectly calm, as she stepped quietly and peacefully to Rawks body. Remembering at this time that there were skeletons everywhere, Udes looked around to see where the other skeletons were.

Akiko, kneeling down to touch Rawk's face, kept her look of contentment. She moved slowly to Rawks ear, and her lips moved ever so close to them. When Udes turned to warn her of the upcoming skeletons, he saw her closeness to his face and blushed. Akiko, not hearing or noticing Udes, continued to do what she was going to do.
Her lips were almost touching his ear, when she finally whispered something into it. As she whispered, something white and whispy came out of her lips and encircled his body; how sanitary that really was something that escaped Udes' thoughts at this moment. However, Akiko was soon enveloped in a similar whispy white, and something was happening. Udes, though captivated by the sight, turned and decided to forget what was happening and just prepare to defend against the upcoming skeletons.

but before anyone (literally) knew it, Rawk was waking up. Rawk woke up to see Akiko enveloped in a white light and really close to his face. He dared not move to disturb this, but at the same time, memory of the past battle came to mind. He got up, surprisingly not hitting Akiko's head in the process, and noticed that he, too, had a white glow. but his glow was fading away, and with it, he noticed his wounds were fading too. He looked at Akiko, to see if hers would fade the same way too, but was surprised to see that the light just combined with her instead. Barely a minute later, he found himself looking at a girl that looked like she had been cut slightly on the face.

"Are you feeling better now, Rawk?"
Rawk felt his face after looking at Akiko's. That scratch on her face was about in the same spot where he was scratched. He was surprised to find that his scratch was gone.
"Yeah, I think I'm alright." said Rawk unsuredly. This really was a puzzling moment, when one couldn't even find a wound that they were sure was there.
"Well, Rawk, I need you to open the gate, ok?" said Akiko with a calm, but determined voice. "While you're doing that, I'm going to help fend off the bad guys, ok?"
"No!" objected Rawk. "You go open the gate, and I'll fight! I'm more suited to fighting!"
'but you can open the gate faster than I can because you're stronger. You have to do it, ok?" begged Akiko now. He had to admit that she was right, and that escaping as fast as possible was key. He nodded in agreement, but grabbed her arm before she could run to fight.
"As soon as the gate is open, run out and wait for me if I am not there already, ok?" asked Rawk. Akiko nodded her agreement, and waited for him to release her arm. She cleared her throat, and he finally realized what he was doing. With a blush, he let go of her arm, and they both went in opposite directions.

[Meanwhile, somewhere....]
"My, this place really is a battlefield now... I wonder who would waste their energy on such a town like this. It's not even worth my servants time..."
A woman, shrouded in black, stood on a light pole not too far away from where Akiko was. In fact, she turned her head to see little Akiko running her arm through the body of one of the skeletons. She smiled, amused, and watched Akiko fight.
"Perhaps this little 'starlet' is worth the trouble after all... kudos to whoever knew the last one was here."
A small giggle afterward, the woman disappeared into nowhere, only leaving behind one small pouch that glistened. It sparkled with the word "Hikaru" on it...

Destabilized by the little storm, Arthus came crashing into the roof of a house which collapsed under his weight. When he came back to himself, he was in an old barn where they stored spices. What had just happened? It was probably the fault of that man he saw just a minute ago. but what kind of magic was it? He stood up and looked around him to see if anyone had seen him crash. Suddenly, a shout came from outside not far from where he was. Maybe it was the shout of the merchant, who came to see what had happened to his depot, but a second shout was heard and this time it was that of a woman. He climbed the wall and exited by the same hole he created. The show that was going in the streets was horrible; there was a horde of skeletons which roamed the streets and attacked everyone they were seeing. Near him, a young girl was pursued by 3 skeletons. He jumped behind the young girl and faced his opponents. One of them jumped at him and tried to unbalanced him, only arthus was faster and hit the skeleton on his chest. The pile of bone flew everywhere. And arthus leaped on the other two. He tried to crush them like the first one, but another skeleton attacked him from behind. He grabbed that one by the arm and used him as an hammer against the other two.

Arthus:"They're to many, I can't hold them by myself! I gotta find the others... Akiko, Rawk, Udes where are you now??? I hope they are at the gate..."

Arthus run at the front gate to find the other...

TO BE CONTINUED...

JARETH:"Damn, they planned to flee the place. can't let them leave without me."

He ran thru the shadows of the night until he reached the hut which held the system to open the gate. As the girl and the loachs were speaking about it, Jareth jumped n the hut and cutted the rope who was attached to the system. He stepped outside again and just a few seconds before the loachs arrived at the hut, Jareth flee in the shadows of the alley's near by.

He came out from the alley and cutted two skeletons in half with his sword. The skeletons soon turned back and started to attack Jareth as well as the others. He jumped in it and tryed and kill the more he could.

[OOC]By the way guys... the cemetary wasn't so full ! i was more thining of around 25 to 35 skeletons not an army that strong. by what we all killed, there must not be more then around 15-18 left ! shouldn't be too hard to kill if we all pitch in. not including the civilians who can defend themselves up to some points. i doubt this army to actually be that tought to defeat. anyway just telling.[/OOC]

Seeing how AKIKO was going into battle instead of opening the gate. Udes was mad at the loach, it was clear that this girl wasn't suited for combat. Thou that was only Udes attitude toward girls. he couldn't let her be in trouble like that.

Udes jumped ont he first skeleton who came in close to him, he cutted him in half then cutted the head of it. then came close to AKIKO which prepared herself for battle.

UDES:"The battlefield isn't suited for a girl. Leave it to the professionnals. open the gate with him i can hold them off alone !"
AKIKO:"Why wouldn't i be able to fight too ?"
UDES:"Don't question me just go with him !"
UDES:{What am i saying, am i that crazy tro try and fend off for my life alone, i will be killed if i don't do it.}
AKIKO:"No way, i'll fight them and there is nothing you can say that will change my mind !"

Udes ran in and jumped slashed a skeleton which started to swing around trying to catch anything coming into contact with it. only he catched another skeleton.

UDES:"Don't be stupid, you can't take one's wounds and try to fight with his burden on yourself !"
AKIKO:"Why wouldn't i be able to ?"
UDES:"Think i don't know what kind of magic you used ? yes i do, i have seen things very similar in my village ! you can't heal someone and fight for him. you'll be in bad shape and won't be able to hold on."
UDES:{Its true that i seen things similar but its the first time i ever see it done this way, its so weird}

The fight resumed and as they were still fending off the hordes, it seemed like they needed a boost. something udes could do. so he jumped backward and while the horde was trying to get past akiko which surprisingly was able to hold them off on her own. he placed his sword in front of him and started to speak...

UDES:"Oh Holy Nature, Hear my call and give me strenght !"
*Udes ROARED as loud as he could.*
A small gust of wind appreared out of nowhere. The sands started to lift itself and and the wind surrounded UDES which started to glow a faint green. When he openned his eyes again, His eyes were glowing green as well ! He jumped in combat again. He was now twice as resistent, not to mention twice stronger.

TO BE CONTINUED...

Akiko took a quick glance at the roaring spectacle, as more skeletons decided to deter their attentions to him instead. Akiko, who was more than happy for this litle effect to take place, took the opportunity to run past all of the skeletons, and into the town. Running by buildings and patches of weeds, Akiko sped as fast as she could in search of anything, and everything that could be found at all. Yet, no matter where she turned, or how high or low she looked, it was very much lifeless. Akiko was sure that there were many people in the town, and a few skeletons could not have caused so much distress or death as to destroy everyone. Yet, after circling a few streets once, she decided that no one was outside anymore.

Thinking on that, Akiko went up to the nearest house, and placed her hand on the knob and turned. However, this door was locked, and it showed no signs of budging. She ran across the street, and placed her hand on that knob and turned it.
This one was unlocked.
She pulled the door open, and walked inside. Closing the door behind her, Akiko looked at all the furnishings that this house had to offer. There were flower-styled carpets all over the floors, and the shelves and stairs and wooden objects were all made of Mahogony. Yet, there was nothing strange about all of this: nothing seemed to be moved, destroyed, marked, or even harshly used. Akiko tried calling out inside the house for someone to answer her. Her voice, however, soon echoed into nothingness, and she suddenly felt really cold. She moved further into the house, and tried her call again. There was no other noise in the house that she could hear, except for her footsteps and her slowbreathing.
However, that did not mean that there was no other noises.

--

"Father, what are you doing?!" asked a small boy. He had very dark brown hair, green eyes, and was a little tan in the skin. He was wearing his pajamas, and was frightened out of his bed by a man with similar features who knocked down the door to his room. The man walked very slowly towards the boy without bothering to answer the question, or make any noises at all. The man came in front of the boy, and raised his arms above his head. Afraid of being hit by his father, the boy ran away like he always did. Suddenly, the boy tripped as the floor shifted upwards very suddenly. Looking back, the boy saw that his father had smashed his bed through the floor, which was now very much broken, yet still sturdy enough to walk on. The boy knew he had to escape somehow: this was not normal at all.

However, a floor below the bedroom, Akiko was breathing heavily. She had just been hit by some wood that fell from above her, and was now just recovering her composure. Standing up again, Akiko took a moment to look over her wounds. Since none of them were too serious, she looked up at the ceiling to see the hole. She walked over to and up the stairs without making much noise: whatever happened, if anything caused that to happen, perhaps it would be best if it did not hear her. She had made it to the top of the stairs, when something ran into her really hard and she fell to her side. Looking back to see what had hit her, she saw a little boy with brown hair. He quickly got up, however, and started running down the stairs while making funny noises in fear of something. Was she scary? She got up, and with a small wince, hopped off the passageway and onto the ground below. She landed just as the boy made it to the last step, and she ran after him as he moved to the door. She had just caught up to and grabbed him, when he had opened the door.

The boy screamed, and Akiko looked forward in confusion. Many people were starting to walk down towards where Udes and Rawk were, and somehow, they did not seem to be behaving normally. They all moved at random paces, and a lot of them turned and made their way towards the house. Akiko took notice that they all bore tools of some sort that were either very sharp, or very heavy. Akiko, in instinct, turned around to head to safety, but stopped when she saw a large man walking down the stairs very slowly. She looked in front of her at the man, and then behind her at the crowd. No matter where she went, there was bound to be danger now. She quickly turned to the boy and crouched down to look him in the eyes.
"Listen, we need to get out of here." said Akiko to the boy. "We need to run to the gates, but I guess we're going to have to go another way, if everyone is here."
"but..." objected the boy. Whatever the problem was, Akiko never heard about it.
"Listen, we really need to go. If we don't, I think we're more then likely to get hurt; so just stay with me, and we'll get out of here, ok?" said Akiko with more seriousness. The boy nodded, and Akiko grabbed his left hand and literally pulled him out the door and into the streets as fast as she could. She headed into the direction opposite of the gate. Whatever was happening, it did not seem like this was getting any better for them at all. Akiko just really hoped, for some odd reason, that Rawk was doing alright...

Meanwhile, on top of another building somewhere far off, a small figure could be seen moving erratically. It swayed and swerved, and even bobbed in the movement of some sort of dance. Whatever they were doing, it did not seem likely they would stop any time soon..

Rawk ran toward the booth with the winch. He got and side and almost leaped for the wheel. As he began turning, he noticed that it was turning a little too easly. Rawk then took a peak at the rope and, to his horror, saw that it was cut. He ran outside and frantically looked around, but all he could see was Udes fending the skeletons off. Rawk focused his attention on the gate itself.
"I could lift it," He thought, though he knew he really wouldn't be able to. "I have to try!"
The Loach ran over to the six hundred-pound gate, bent down, and grasped the bottum tightly.
"Here goes ..."
He pushed all the air out of his lungs and began to lift. The gate rose a bit, but not much as pain began to swell throough Rawk's arms and back. He knew he couldn't keep this up for long, but he continued to lift. The gate was lifted to about his shin now, then suddenly, it became lighter. Rawk wondered at this, but didn't stop lifting. Soon, it was above his head, and locked in place. He whiped his forehad and looked infront of him.
"Woah!" He was startled a bit by the figure of a man standing before him.
"My name's Takin. What's going on here?"

[OOC]I don't really know what'll happen after this. It's basically in the hands of Miles and/or Roll, I guess.[/OOC]

Jareth was fighting off the skeletons slashing 2 or 3 in front of him. There was starting to have less and less. After slashing the skeleton in front of him, he noticed some villagers coming toward the gang. they were weird, he feeled out an evil magic at use on the villagers.

JARETH:"It is impossible, i didn't do that."

Two other skeletons jumped on JARETH's back and started to hit him. Jareth enraged by that and his eyes could be seen turning red. His cape lifted a little and something that looked like wings came out under the cape and it threwboth skeletons away. then Jareth's state came back to normal. He looked at the crowd again, and said...

JARETH:"In the end, It's good. it will give me an opportunity to put it all on someone else !"

He peeked around with his eyes and saw that the rest of the gang was coming out nicely. the small group of remaining skeletons were easily fended off.

JARETH:"For mortals they sure fight well."

Then he jumped on a few skeletons with a battle cry that could be heard easily by anyone near by !

TO BE CONTIUED...

They were now walking, the little boy and Akiko, as they had literally no company now. As they walked, they began to talk to each other, and they introduced each other as well. As it turned out, the little boys name was Chris, and he was eight years old. The day after tomorrow would mark his first day of training, as he would begin to try and become a great Priro (a strength-bound sword master) like his father. However, something has happened to his father, just like the rest of the town, and right now, the boy was fearing for his mother and sister. Akiko reminded him, however, that they needed to escape first; then, and only then, would she return to see if his family was well.

Without any objections, the boy took off at his top speed again, to try and quicken the process of being able to find out about his family. Akiko, who was directly behind the boy, suddenly remembered that everyone was still at the gates. Immediately rushing past the boy at a much faster speed, Akiko ran as fast as she possibly could while she held onto the yelling Chris. Moments later, as she passed by a hair dressers shop, Akiko came to a screeching halt. Something had hit the ground as she was running, and it was now just a little bit behind her. Turning to walk in the other direction to see what hit the ground, Akiko hardly notice the sparkle that shined. However, Chris did notice, and running off without warning to investigate the sparkle, Chris disappeared into the streets without leaving so much as a trace for Akiko to follow.

Meanwhile, Akiko had found what had hit the ground. It had been a little ball, that just looked like an ordinary ball of crystal. There was nothing too suspicious about it, except about from where it came. It had to have come from above; from the rooftops of the buildings. Akiko turned around.

"Hey, Chris, I found what hit the ground! It was a..."
She stopped. She just noticed that Chris was gone, and that she was literally all alone. She wondered, for that small moment, how foolish she looked speaking to thin air. More importantly, she began calling out to Chris, to see if he would answer. There was no answer from him, though, and she just stared into the distance. She hoped that he was at least heading to the gates. Suddenly, Akiko stopped breathing and moving. Something behind her was moving around quite frantically, and she was afraid that it could be a villager. Turning quickly around, she saw nothing. Looking down, Akiko saw that the ball was moving back and forth continuously. Just at that moment, the ball released a grand light that engulfed the entire area within twenty feet of the ball.

After the light cleared, which was only a mere minute later, Akiko looked up at a particularly tall beast that looked like a Falcon with a human-like body. The only particular difference, was the fact that it was standing upstraight just like a human would, and the eyes had no pupils. Akiko backed up a little bit, and the Falcon turned his head toward Akiko. Leaping a long stride forward, Akiko fell into a roll to dodge a heavy claw that fell deep into the ground. Lifting himself slowly, the Falcon turned around again to face Akiko. It did not seem like Akiko was safe here anymore.

Arthus:"Don't touch her ,you bastard!!!"

Arthus bumped into the beast at fool speed. The falcon creature went crush into a wall. After he regained his strength, Arthus pushed Akiko into the direction of the gate.

Akiko:"What are you doing?"
Arthus:"It's too dangerous to stay here, go find the others and escape from this mess."
Akiko:"but I can't, there's a boy somewhere who needs help. I can't..."
Arthus:"Ok ok it's seem that you made of your mind, go find him and quick. I'll try to slow him down."

Arthus turn to face the creature who was already on his feet.

" Damn, he's tougher than I taught. This creep gave me a headache.

The falcon jump on Arthus and hit him with his claw. Surprise by the attack, Arthus fell on the ground with a scar on his chest. Before he can even move, the falcon was on him trying to kill him with his powerfull claws. Arthus immobilized the claws and try to destabilized the creature without success. The falcon was trying to hit him with his nozzle. He had to found something quick before he became bird feed. Seeing a possibility, he hit the creature with his feet in his stomach. The falcon went crush into a cart and seems to be unconscious.

Arthus:"That should be enough for the moment, now I gotta go help the others. I hope they're alright..."

Arthus put himself together and ran in direction of the gates. The scar that the falcon left him was hurting a lot but it wasn't the bigger problem right now. When he arrives at the gates he saw all the people of the town reunited around his friends."First the skeletons and now this... what's next?" Udes was fighting a bunch of skeleton with the stange guy he saw earlier and Rawk was holding the gates. He jumped over the croud and helped Rawk to maintain the gates.

Arthus:"Did I missed something?"
Takin:"Please, can you finally tell me what's going on here?"
Rawk:"Where's Akiko?"
Arthus:"Damn she haven't return yet!!!"

TO BE CONTINUED...

[ooc]What, so you guys left? Alright then...[/ooc]

Akiko turned into an alleyway by the ice cream shoppe to see if the little boy would be there. but when she only saw a little bit of broken wood and some clothes, she turned around and headed back to whence she came from. The boy was not there, and just a moment ago, she had promised herself that if he wasn't in that alleyway, she'd go back to see about the Falcon-man. After all, leaving anyone alone with him so upset like that would be suicide, for either being.

Dashing back to the area, Akiko came to a screeching halt. She went a little further, towards a pile of broken pottery and wood. This was apparantly the scene of where a cart was, and the pottery it sold was possible of the most exquisite china. However, the broken pieces that shattered everywhere made it difficult to tell anymore. However, Akiko was sure that the Falcon-man was around this area; after all, she still remembered the the way the Falcon made such a hole in the ground with its claw. It would have been very fatal if it had hit her anywhere. This thought brought on another thought, which was interrupted by a rock falling from the roof above. Barely missing Akiko, the rock bounced away into the broken cart, and Akiko looked up at the roof with narrowing eyes. There had to be something up there.
Gathering her strength, she crouched down for a moment as another rock came down. This one struck Akiko; however, it just bounced off of Akiko, and she did not move. However strange it was, Akiko did not seem to notice, and neither could anyone else. Opening her eyes, Akiko quickly pushed off of the ground as hard as she could with glowing pink hands. As the sound of a singing voice sang a single note, Akiko landed on the rooftop with much surprise.

"You're a little late; I almost started to sleep!"
A voice that rang with the essence of a child's tone filled the void of silence for just a little moment. Looking forward, Akiko found herself staring at a young boys face. His eyes, though very hidden under the bangs which hid them, sent off a little essential glow that scared Akiko a little bit. As for the rest of the boy, he wore a large turban-like hat, with a jewel where the plume should be. He wore a cloak, which covered his whole up to his ankles, which proved him to be wearing very poofy black pants. His shoes, which curled at the tips, were white and looked very similar to Akiko's; however, the boys had large, round crystal orbs stuck onto the part that was just before the curls start. Also, much to Akiko's surprise, the boy had a jeweled glove, just like hers! The only difference, was that it was a dark green jewel. Seeing this, however, tore into her memories.
"Where did you get that glove?!" asked Akiko abrubtly. The little boy, however, moved his finger and clicked his toungue in a superior manner.
"That isn't anyway to greet your entertainer. Besides; I only talk to my friends about personal things.." replied the little boy.
"but then, why could we not be friends?" asked Akiko as she went on her guard.
The little boy chuckled. "Because I, Asfahrn, don't make friends with weaklings. I don't like weaklings.. and if you're friends with that other weakling who didn't even take down my monster.."
"Monster?" repeated Akiko.
"Yes, a monster. You know.." the little boy spun and hopped from foot to foot "a being who is so abnormal, whether by looks or by ability, that they can't really be natural. Therefore, he's a monster."
"..."

Akiko looked at the roof for a moment, as the child danced on. Suddenly stopping to look at Akiko once more, Asfahrn gained a sort of devilish smirk. Thrusting his hand out, jewel first, he stopped twenty meters short of actually being able to reach Akiko. She looked at him, utterly confused.
"<span style='font-size:9pt;line-height:100%'>summon monsters</span>"

Immediately after he had whispered such words, a large circle with a rose implimentation appeared in front of the boy, and many monsters jumped out of the circle. Akiko, who was now surrounded by monsters up to twice her size, was trapped. However, when a monster struck out wildly and punched a hole through the roof they stood on, Akiko took the opportunity to run up the arm and jump off of it's shoulder. Landing heavily onto the ground below, Akiko rolled into a run. but before she knew it, a monster came crashing down, and her shoulder had a large slash running across it. Bleeding, and alone in a group of monsters, Akiko was growing a bit impatient.

"You really are weak! Lance must have been really out of it if he couldn't kill a little goober like you!" yelled a dancing little boy, as monsters suddenly swarmed around something, and started beating on something that was larger than some of the monsters. Akiko, looking at all of the monsters, suddenly started concentrating harder; if anything, she could charge up enough of her power to do something to get away..

[ooc]...so....... yeah. That's just great. She's about to get discombobulated, while you guys have left the world of dancing, freaky old-man children. Lovely. Well, send Akiko a postcard, 'cause she's definitely busy in this town.

...Should mention: the boy isn't what he seems, he has something that could help Akiko learn more about herself, he has a glove jewel just like she does, and he's not weak. Btw, the Falcon is not gone, and he is roaming around, somewhere. Like he would actually be beaten with a kick to the stomach, when he can make a small crater in the ground with one punch...
Oh yeah, these monsters aren't weak, either. ^_^; They're probably not as strong as the Falcon guy, but they're probably only two steps below.[/ooc]

[OOC]well... been offline for 3 days and when i come back akiko is about to get discombobulated. well my character can easily come in as you will see, but he's far so its gonna be a long way down till i get there !

thing is... if you don't like how i will put it on, you just pm me roll and i will change what i can, for now i won't be speaking about how you escaped the beasts, but when my characters will be there, yours won't be so much surrounded, but will be wounded. ok ?[/OOC]

Udes fended off the last skeleton, there so such a pile in front of him. he took back his breath and turned around. yelling at the others that he'll be going in the city find the girl and get back with her !

The others surprised to hear that couldn't help understanding how he could have listened to the conversation while still fighting off, he was a beast with great senses after all.

Udes held his sword ready and ran thru the central lane. trying to hear what was hapenning around. but he couldn't hear anything suspisious except for that little music that kinda was echoing thru the wind. it seemed like she was not there anymore.

UDES:"DAMN girls, why can't they stay out of troubles ?"
Udes started to smell around, trying to pick up the scent of AKIKO. the one scent he was glad to smell while chatting with her at the gate !
UDES:"Ok it was kinda of a flower blooming on a sunny day of spring int he wood. i wouldn't forget that kind of smell"
UDES:"There you are !"

Picking up her scent UDES backtracked thru the central lane till he comes near an a small alley. the smell wasn't so recent so she must have passed by a while ago. he ran thru the alley when suddently a falcon like creature dove on him. barely dodging the thing with a roll, udes rolled back to his feet and standed against the nearest wall.

The beast was no where to be seen. until a bit of wood was heard being crushed right behind him. he ducked just in time before a big claw came thru the wall behind him. he rolled out of the way and back to his feet and continued to run thru the alley not even looking behind.

UDES:{What kind of thing is that ? where was it coming from ? }

The thing landed right in front ofudes which stopped right in his tracks. The bird man screeched and jumped on udes, but he dodged and jumped ont he wall then jumped above the bird just to land behind it. then he grabed on the wings, btu the bird creature was too strong and it didn't take long for it to get rid ofudes. Udes was sent flying thru a wall and crashed landed in a stable. coming back on his feet udes took back his breath.

UDES:"dang it. its strong. gotta run for it. if only i knew where that girl was i could get her and run as far as i could."
Udes picked up the scent of the girl, surprising as it was, it was coming from the rooftops.

Udes:"how as she got up there ? something is fishy here !"

The bird man came thru too, it was coming for udes and strike with his beak. dodging the blow udes ran toward the wall jumped on it and then jumped again which sent him thru a hole in the roof. looking down, the beast didn't followed. which was surprising enough for udes. instead it seemed to have picked up another victim, one probably easier to get.

UDES:"good ridance !" [ooc]maybe not for you takin ! :colgate: [/ooc]

Udes looked at the horinzon fromt he roof trying to understand why he picked her scent up there. suddently his eyes stopped a small boy far away looking at the bunch of monsters dropping off the roofs. Udes had a weird sensation that the boy must have been the responsible for all of this. even more troubling, the scent of akiko was coming from there as well, so the boy must have summonned those to kill her and they probably were dropping down on her. something had to be done.

Udes ran from top to top jumping here and there. the boy had dropped off too and no more monsters where there. they had all jumped down. as he was coming close to where the action was he was hearing someone speaking, it was the voice of a boy. and some kind of noise was coming out, something hapenned and a flash of light flashed thru the sky. udes stopped right there looking at the edges without seeing anything really there, he would have to go down to know what hapenned. Udes juped off the edge of the roof and smelled akiko near. she was just ahead a simple turn to take. udes walked slowly and turned the corner. to his surprised the situation was smoother then originally thought, he was sure that she would be dead with that kind of population around her.

AKIKO was holding her shoulder, it was bleeding badly. she was wounded as hell and it was evident that she needed help or else she would end up being dismantled.

Udes drawed his sword and trusted it in front of him.

UDES:"DARKNESS SHALL BE DEFEATED BY THE LIGHT ! SWORN ENNEMIES, YOU SHALL BE DEFEATED !"

And udes ran in combat as some of the monsters came to welcome him.

BOY:"not another weakling !"

After the first hit was countered by udes and he was fighting off to his last breath.

BOY:"Looks interesting..."

Udes couldn't have imagined a fight harder then that... except perhaps with that bird man himself. maybe they were stronger then anything he ever encountered before. the real fight had just begun !

TO BE CONTINUED...

While udes slashed his last skeletons, Jareth was fighting the last 3 and felt the magic made by the little creature. Jareth told to himself:"i gotta see for myself" and he slashed the last skeletons.

Jareth:"Now time to see who's behind those evil magics."
And he ran away and while he ran away he was thinking:"I thought i would be the only one with dark magics." still running, he tryed to see from where it came from. To his suprise, it was coming from the rooftops. He jumped from wall to wall until he had climbed to the top.

He landed on the roof and he looked around to see where it was coming from. After a few minute, he noticed a small creature jumping down the roof to the floor below. Jareth ran from top to top until he reached the position of the small creature. He jumped down belowbehind the small creature that looked like a small human with weird clothings.

BOY:"Not a third one, how many are you anyway ?"
The boy turning around. Jareth looked at the boy and spoke to him...

Jareth:"So you are the one who is making all these magics ! To coward to fight your own battles"
And he turned to look at udes who was fighting off some monsters while akiko tryed to survive the rest.
Boy(chuckling):"like the rest, you must be a weakling who tries to look like something else. Not even worth my time."
Jareth:"let's see !"
Boy:"so you wanna play huh ? then play with this little one !"

The boy whisled. after a few seconds. nothing had hapenned and jareth was wondering what he was doing, when suddently the bird man himself came. jareth didn't had time to dodge and he got grabed and transported farther.

Boy:"See ya !"

after behind thrown on the floor. Jareth standed back on his feet. he looked at the creature above him and he thought:{Dang, this creature is stronger and faster then i am.} Jareth threw his cloak of of him and said:"Will never defeat it on my normal form !"

Jareth started to concentrate and change into something that seemed a tad bgger then he normally was. His eyes turned red, two wings started to grow on his back. then it was followed with a lot of scales who appeared on his skin. Jareth was now twice the size he used to be. his legs grew claws and scales as well. Even a scaled tail appeared. His head changed as well. it changed into one of a dragon.

*JARETH GROWLED*
Then he jumped in the air and attacked the falcon head on.
The falcon prepared himself for assault and placed his legs in front grabbing Jareth as he came in. jareth tryed to get free while the falcon tryed to make his claws got hru jareth's scales and into his flesh. Jareth grabbed the falcons legs and tryed to remove them but the falcon tryed to hit jarethc's head with his hands. Jareth turned his head here and there trying to dodge a few hits. since both weren't paying attention to the fact that both had problems staying in the air. they both crashed thru a building near by.

Jareth standed back again, but the falcon was already back on his feet. and the bird man tackled jareths out of the building and into the alley.the bird followed outside and landed onto jareth's trying to pass thru jareth's scales while it was hitting with its hands. Jareth tryed to counter the moves with his hands. while his tail came from behind the bird man which was slaped by a 4 bladed tail. the falcon was throwed forward. jareth standed up, first thing he knew the falcon was rushing at him again trusting his claws onto jareths grabbing him again.

Jareth, enraged by this, openned his mouth and breath fire toward the bird man, getting torched for a few seconds, the bird man released jareth and flown away for a few seconds. The falcon looked at jareth's while jareth still enraged flown toward the falcon. The falcon flown away toward a small alley which was barely large enough for him to pass thru while jareth, still following, passed thru the alley but it destroyed the walls instead since jareth was a tad bigger then the falcon. The falcon came out of the alley and turned around. Jareth came out only to see the bird coming for him before he had time to completely come out.

The falcon slahsed toward jareth, which landed perfectly on jareth's left side of this face. this hit made 3 slash in jareth's face. one of them was in the middle of the eye. which made jareth 1 eye blinded ! that threw jareth back into the alley right thru the ground. the buildngs on both side collapsed.

The bird man dove back onto jareth, grabed him, but as the falcon grabbed jareth rage grew to its extreme and he landed a blow in the face that sent the falcon flying thruthe nearest building and then passed thru a second wall. while the bird was a tad confused. jareth standed up again.

TO BE CONTINUED...

[OOC]If there is something you dislike, just PM me or PM My cousin, SSJKarma and we'll change it.[/OOC]

[ooc]I forgot to mention, and I just noticed, that Akiko was using her "limit Break". ^_^; She was safe from attack for a few moments. And now, back to our show.
This begins from the moment that Akiko escapes from the monsters... so you know how she'd have gotten away.[/ooc]

Holding up her bit of protection against the perpetual pounding of the beasts, Akiko forced much of herself into the shield. The beings attacks, which became stronger and more widespread, began to wear down on poor Akiko. However, they were not able to notice that something was building up near the edges of the barrier they beat upon. Akiko was planning something... Asfahrn knew she would be. He didn't care, however: whatever she would do, she wouldn't be a threat to him.
However, he couldn't have expected the energy build up to burst underneath Akiko, and send her into safety. Especially not with the look on that face.

Landing inside the alley next to the nearest building, Akiko stood in her slightly crouched position for a moment before standing up again, and running out of the alley. In the street again, Akiko noticed that the beings were now attacking each other in their confusion, and that she appeared to be safe for the moment. Grabbing her shoulder and looking on, she noticed a figure dashing toward her in the distance. As her blood continued its flow, the figure continued its constant reach toward her. Coming close enough, Akiko knew it was Udes, the mysterious Tiger-man. She watched him closely, and gazed at his figure, as he stopped to look at her with a small hit of hesitation. Then, watching as he leapt swiftly into the large group of beings, Akiko found herself staring at a very gallant being.
[ooc]And we're back on track..[/ooc]
This, however, became highly ridiculous. Not only was she staring at someone she had just met, but she was doing that while in the midst of a dangerous battle. Standing up straight once more, Akiko looked at the monsters and at Udes. She began to think now: if she were to help Udes fight the evil, creepy beings, and if they were to be destroyed, Asfahrn might be able to summon even more of them. If that were to happen, they'd be fighting forever.
No... she would have to attack them in a different approach. She would have to go after Asfahrn himself.

Gathering her strength into another little burst of energy, Akiko bounced up to the roof once more. Landing on both legs and immediately walking closer to the hopping boy, her looks became somewhat intimidating. Lifting her chin upward and looking down at Asfahrn, the look of her eye began to strike something within him. He didn't know exactly what was going on, but he did know that he hated the way it felt. Thrusting his hand out once more, and summoning his magic once more, he began to call out for a greater beast to fight Akiko. However, nothing happened. As Akiko drew nearer and nearer, nothing was happening. He suddenly began to panic: no monsters were being summoned. Something was cutting off his power over them.

Drawing from beneath his clothes a rod, Asfahrn stood in a strange stance. Glaring at Akiko, as if he were daring her to just move one more step further to himself, he started to let droplets of sweat run down his forehead. When she finally took that one step, he leapt forward wildly, aiming to strike her down with one attack. However, it turned out that his aiming and hand-eye coordination was a little off, and he missed Akiko very badly. Ending up in the second story of the building, he watched as Akiko hopped down to look at him with a sense of pity. The child stepped back a little bit, and brushed his bangs with his fingers once. Jumping this time with more accuracy, Akiko actually had to move to avoid the strike. The strike itself, she noticed, seemed to be using magic behind its power. After all, finding herself newly scratched all across her arms and legs when nothing touched her was just a bit too much of a coincidence at this time.

[ooc] Just to say... this battle is all Akiko's for the moment...kill the monsters... then after I say its ok, go after Asfahrn. but you won't know if you'd want to kill him anymore...[/ooc]

[OOC] Hmm. I guess my character was somewhat ruined in my absence. He woulda been the first to go after Akiko. I'll try to redeem him here.[OOC]

As Udes was fending off two of the monsters - blocking their blows with his sword, and attacking them back - he heard another monster coming up behind him and knew he wouldn't be able to defend himself against that. The tiger-like man braced for a blow to the back as he continued to swing at the creatures in front of him. Udes heard a loud growl, followed by a loud smash and wondered what happened. He quickly glanced back and, to his surprise, saw Rawk standing on top of the beast, whos head was smashed into the building near it.
The large creature stood back up and Rawk leapt off its chest, onto the ground infront of it, landing crouched, with one hand on the ground and one in the air. He dashed toward the monster, which appeared to be made of stone, and punched it in the stomach, causing a few cracks. but, the Loach didn't see the large stone arm swinging around, and was sent skidding across the ground. Just then, a squid-like monster began to approach Rawk from behind.
"Oh, man. This is gonna suck."
Rawk reached into the hilts on his back and grabbed his claws.
[OOC] Just because we're not posting a lot doesn't mean the RP's dead ... [/OOC]

"DAGGERT!!!! WHERE IS THIS JERK!!! DAGGERT!!!!!!!!!"

Walking around in his room, Cyrus was throwing everything he could put his hand on it. Suddenly, a tiny demon with wings appeared in front of him producing a cloud of gas.

Daggert:"You called me boss?"
Cyrus:"How many time I'll have to tell you not to do this!!! And stop calling me BOSS!!!"
Daggert:"Yeah yeah what's the problem???"
Cyrus:"HOW CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS?" (Cyrus was pointing at a mirror who was reflecting the image of a gargoyle of flesh) WHAT HAVE YOU DONE THIS TIME?"
Daggert:"Who is this??? A friend of yours?"
Cyrus:"You know exactly who he is and what I want to know is WHY HE IS ALIVE???"
Daggert:"OK OK now I remember!!! That's your big brother isn't he?"

In a second, Cyrus raises his finger and fired a lithning toward Daggert who dodged the attack. The small demon land on the mirror with a loud laugh.

Daggert:"Well well well, I'm sorry but it seems that the curse is gone."
Cyrus:"but how, the spell was perfect. He should be asleep for eternity!!!"
Daggert:"To bad it didn't work!!! You're not as good as you were before."
Cyrus:"WHY YOU!!! (He raised his finger again but Daggert was already gone) I know that you have something to do with this so you better fixe that problem. Remember, you're my slave for again ten centuries."
Daggert:"Calm down, I'll do what you want master"

*Back at Kirtsnechiez*

Arthus:"Damn... this city is big!!! Well, all I have to do is follow the sound of battle and the smoke. (jumping from top to top, Arthus arrived quickly at the fight) Here I come!!!!!!!

Jumping into the horde of monsters, Arthus tried to make his best to help his friends........... but not to far from here, a little demon appeared and came closer to watch the fight.

Daggert:"Where's the fun in putting him into stone again??? Cyrus you big jerk, you don't have any sense of humour. Don't be afraid Arthus, I got something far more amusing than what Cyrus have plan for you...

[OOC]Sorry for the delay, had around 5 virues for unknown reason syesterday, so i couldn't do anything else then reset the computer !

iu just deleted your post and mine razz, that's because they didn't have any purpose and besides there was another post to delete... anyway here is my part ![/OOC]

As Udes took a peek behind him, RAWK was there fighting and holding his ground, just like udes was trying to keep the monsters from reaching akiko ! Which seemed to have disappeared from sight !

UDES:{Dang, where is she, oh well gotta keep this up or else we're...}
At this time some other fighters joined the ranks. the strange man that was fighting the skeletons back then was sent flying by the bird like creature.
UDES:{Dang, well at least we won't have that bird brain in our claws for a while.}

Udes fended off a few monsters but they kept coming at em, seemed like the only way to make sure they wouldn't get back up would be to dismentle them limb by limb ! Udes swung his blade around, hitting a few of them but mostly just keeping em at bay, there was too much and they weren't your average demons, they seemed well trained. well, as trained as demon creatures can be !

Another face suddently showed up. coming from above the gargoyle seen before took out 2 monsters and held his ground as well. seemed like they were all there. with those 2 joining the fight, udes crowd was diminishing fast, now he had room to breath and maybe slice a few arms off, maybe a few heads if he was lucky !

UDES:{Time for some more strenght}
Udes jumped on a wall then on another and then reaching the top of the houses. he placed his sword up int he air and was about to yell something, but he saw a known face up there. AKIKO was there, she was going for the little bastard. by the look of the creature, akiko had everything under control. udes decided that the monsters under him were probably more of a treath.
UDES:"HOLY NATURE, HEAR MY CALL AND GIVE ME STRENGHT !"
Calling upon mother nature for help, Udes started to glowbright green just like the first time with the skeletons. his eyes had totally changed and he looked even more powerfull. Udes jumped down on a few monsters and resumed his fight with renewed strenght !

TO BE CONTINUED...

[ooc] It's about time I posted in here again. ^_^;;; [/ooc]

Watching Asfahrns arm movements as he danced around continuously was starting to become a teensy bit difficult now. The rod itself was starting to eliminate all focused sight, and the fast movements all around the room added to the illusion that he was in several places at once. Feeling her eyelids becoming heavier, Akiko began to feel more tired with each and every movement the dance gave. She sawblurs of brown in several areas, and could not establish which one could possibly have been the correct rod. Chancing on the blur that was smallest, Akiko lashed her arm out at the right-most blur of brown.
The sound of something thudding suddenly zoomed through the air and into Rawk's ears.

"Get away from me!!!" screamed Chris, as he pushed a derranged little child into a pile of garbage to avoid his ravenous scratching and biting. It had been just like this the entire run to the pole: random people jumping from random places, just to do random attack patterns at random moments, and aimed at random body parts. The adults were very easy to get away from, since they had to practically dive to actually get at him. It's just the children who posed so many problems: since they couldn't really carry weapons, they had more movement. That, coupled with them being shorter, made them much harder to get away from. Luckily for Chris, his aspiration of being a Priro had kept him training even before his father considered letting him train, so he was very strong for his age.

but, upon this last thought, Chris had noticed that he had not only ran past several dormant adults, but that he had just ran into the pole that he was trying to reach. Rubbing his nose, he looked up with watery eyes to see the extra large sparkles in the sky. Wrapping his arms around the pole, he tightened his grip, and began climbing. When he reached the sparkle in the sky, he found it to just be a small pouch; but it was a pretty sparkle, and it still even sparkled in his hands. It was at this point, when he noticed that both of his hands were on the bag, that he was upside-down, and that he was slowly sliding down the pole in an awkward position..

--Meanwhile, back with Akiko--
Akiko was holding her wrist, as her eyes watered. She had hit her mark alright: all 6-inch thick, 200 pounds of it, and with the spot just above her wrist. The only good that came from her hurting herself, was that the dancing stopped, and that Asfahrn was now only one boy again. Smiling an ever triumphant smile at Akiko, Asfahrn waved his hands in circles just to spite her. He hopped forward and back, side to side, and onto his hands; all for the fun of this battle of his. Meanwhile, Akiko was shaking her wrist while hopping out of his way. Noticing that the little boy was literally beginning to dance at this time, Akiko finally gained a new thought.

"It takes two to tango!" said Akiko unexpectedly. Asfahrn, who was just as confused as ever, continued his dance.

"What in the hell are you talking about?" exclaimed Asfahrn.
but there was no answer. Instead, Asfahrn began to gawk at Akiko as she mimicked his every step and movement. Stepping into spins, and turning into handstands did little to affect this: Akiko somehow knew just what he was going to do, and she did it as well. Finally, Asfahrn stopped.
"How dare you spoil my fun!" he screamed, becoming red around the ears.
Akiko only looked on. This, however, angered poor Asfahrn into spin-kicking the wall behind him, which not only broke into many pieces, but also brought the entire roof down upon his side, and all over. In fact, before either of them knew it, the entire house had fallen into pieces, and they both fell into someplace very dark. Summoning her Sweet Tone, Akiko looked around in the darkness to try and find Asfahrn. but there were noises and echoes all about..
"Why are you fighting me?" came one echo. "Do you hate me?" came another. "Must I kill everyone to get the one I love to be accepted among you?" came a stronger echo. While Akiko didn't quite understand the meaning of all of this, she was starting to get a bit of a hunch as to where Asfahrn was. She kneeled down gently, and closed her eyes in mental focus.

"All I wanted was to have fun, and to get my friends accepted among humans."
The echoes were circling in from the right..
"Nobody ever wanted to even get to know them.."
Moving from behind her..
"Just because everyone says they're monsters!"
Suddenly jumping in front of her...
"It's not their fault they're large and have dangerous body parts!"
It moved to her left now, though Akiko suddenly felt a tiny bit disorientated with the last echo..
"I just want to have a place for us, and us alone!"
It was behind her again.
"Which means.."
To her right.
"That if you want to get in our way.."
In front of her.
"I will kill you!"
Behind her! That's where the echoes were coming from! She dimmed her Sweet Tones light just a smidge, before moving. Making the Tone stay where it was, Akiko moved on alone. She decided to go to her right first, then attack from behind: however, the echoes were still going..

"Why is it that only HUMANS aren't considered monsters!? Why should they be the only ones immune to the ridicule, when not even a child can't even escape that!"
Akiko finally came up behind the source of the voice, the small child, Asfahrn. She grabbed him from behind, and held him as tight as possible to herself so that he could not get free, or try to attack her. As Asfahrn struggled to get free, Akiko only tightened her grips.
"What are you getting at? Weren't you the one who just called them 'Monsters'?" inquired Akiko, as Asfahrn pushed his elbows into her sides.
"It's none of your business, you freak!" Screamed Asfahrn. "You're the one who left! You're the one who got away from everything! You don't deserve to know!!"
"What are you talking about?! I didn't do anything of the sort!"
"LIAR!!!" Screamed Asfahrn, as he suddenly burst out of Akiko's grasp with enough force to send her far backward. Suddenly, the Sweet Tone flickered and died out. Akiko's sight was finally out of it again, if not for the complete darkness, then for the fact that she had just lost a bit more blood everywhere.
"You liar... you know what you did. Mother and Father told us.. they told me everything. You ran away.."
More echoes. If Akiko heard more echoing, she was sure she'd lose her temper. However, more than anything, she needed to keep her conciousness. Getting up to her feet again, Akiko looked forward into the darkness, and stared for a while. She waited for the echoes again.
"You ran away. You left us all to DIE!!"
"but I didn't! I swear; I---"
"Liar! <span style='font-size:17pt;line-height:100%'>Leave us alone</span>!!!"
Light from underneath the house seemed to have burst through the caved-in building. While the pieces of the house were still piled above the cellar, the light seemed to show through anyway. but it was anyones guess above the ground, as to who the light was coming from....

[ooc] Ok.. Meanwhile, Chris has gotten the pouch from the pole, and is probably rushing back to Akiko with it. Oh, and you guys can feel free to try to get to Asfahrn; Just don't kill him. Trust me, you'll find out why later.
..and sorry for being gone for so long. I really am trying my best to fit everything in.[/ooc]

........................................

*Takin stares from a rooftop at the mysterious strangers he saw earlier... They we're putting up a fight against that boy he glimpsed. He couldn't get a thought out of his mind though.... Why'd that bird suddenly release him?.... While he was thinking this, he thought he saw something flying over his head, and a cry that came afterwards. He was thinking of going to the direction of the cry, but then decided of staying. That might have been the person who killed the birdbrain...*

Takin: {Hmm... I wonder...} "Huh?? Aahhhh!" *doged a falling stone from the house that was destroyed.* "Whew that was close. Huh!?" *he saw something moving in that rubble of destruction... someone was still alive and seemed like trying to hide... but then, the person was being followed by someone...*
Takin: "What should I do...? That person might be in trouble, but that boy following her didn't look anywhere near frantic... Should I follow them?..." *looks from the corner of his eye the two men who were hiding behind a pillar. seemed they both knew those two in the house... Then a dragon suddenly went towards the house and (burned?) the young boy. The girl stood up and went towards the two men, one of which was probably unconscious. another man went to the boy and picked him up, then, strangely enough, gave him to a strange looking person. he motioned for both of them to hold on, (couldn't hear his words), and moved toward the dragon. before he made it to the building where the dragon was though, a light suddenly appeared before the man... he was sucked into that light, and Takin and the others were left alone with the dragon, who looked at the others, who were badly injured. maybe now is the time to try and help them...*

[ooc]Hmm. someone PM me on what I should do now... Ima the only one who hasn't been injured and what not... Well, except for a few scratches from that bird...[/ooc][/color:post_uid3][/color:post_uid3]

The heat was intense and Arthus wasn't able to move because of the lava that was running around him. The mountains were too high for him to see anything beyond and his wings were like cotton. Suddenly, the air became colder and Arthus was able to breath a little bit.

?:"Sorry about that, I forgot that the people of the lands weren't accustomed to deep of hell. BRRRRR... I don't know how you can survive in your world with all these ... anyway this is not why I brought you here."
Arthus:"Who are you and what have you done with my friends?"
?:"Don't worry your friends are all ok but you... that's another thing... Do you know a man called Cyrus???"
Arthus:"YOU BASTARD!!! It is him who sent you??? Answer me!!!"

The heat became so intense that he wasn't able to breath. After a short time it come back normal.

?:"JUST ANSWER MY QUESTION YOU BONEHEAD!!! Another intervention like this and I'll kill you in a seconde understand? (Arthus answered by a move of the head) That's more I like it!!! Now answer me."
Arthus:"Yeah I know him, he's a bastard and my brother."
?:"Well we're not so different... He's a total jerk so listen and do what I say. You'll stay with the guys that you meet in the village and you'll follow them anywhere they'll go."
Arthus:"Why should I, I must find Cyrus and..."
?:"Perhaps you want me to emprisonned the tiger guy in a cage for my personnal amusement... or toast the little fox on a fork like a roastbeef? Do what I said and all will be perfect!!!

From the deep of his conscience, the little demon received a telepatic message:" DAGGERT WHERE ARE YOU STUPID WORM??"

?:{The day where this freak will leave me alone hasn't come yet} Sorry but I gotta go... Oh and take this (a pendant in form of a quarter moon appeared in front of Arthus) it will be usefull."
Arthus:"How is it suppose to work?"
?:"Don't worry, you'll know soon... just always keep it on your skin and it will be perfect..."

{DAGGERT!!!}

?:{jUST CUT IT OUT STUPID. I hope that the oracle was right about that Arthus}

TO BE CONTINUED...
