[OOC] Uh, you don't seem to understand this. Tacq is the fastest. He's the fastest and always will be.[/OOC]

Tacq lunged at Scythe and jumped on it's back. Scythe spun around in frustration, trying to rid of Tacq.
Haha! Free shots!
The rest of the group ganged up and pummeled Scythe until, eventually, his position froze. The group stood there, staring at Scythe, and Tacq remained firmly on it's back. Scythe was in a normal standing position, but he was moving, not at all.
Suddenly, the ground near the area started to shake a little. Scythes eyes blew a neon orange and the group around it was blown back. Tacq was blown back a lot further than the rest of them, since he was on the beast. A grumbline sound came from Scythe's throat.
Scythe,"<span style='font-size:27pt;line-height:100%'> RRRRRAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOORRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!</span>"
In an instant, a huge explosion came from the enraged humanoid and all but Tacq were knocked down and hurt. Tacq was too far away to be affected by the enormous attack.
NO!!
Tacq jumped up and ran toward Scythe with vengeance in his eyes, but his attempt was a failure. With lightenning quick reflexes, Scythe pawed Tacq and pounced at him in mid-air. As Tacq landed, his frail back was injured once more. He couldn't move. Scythe stood over Tacq, glaring at him through it's sinful eyes.
Scythe," You . . . are mine."
Scythe lifted his right paw, and his claws, more sharp than ever, shone bright.
All of the sudden, a blast of magical power flew over Tacq, and hit Scythe in it's jagged face. Scythe roared with confusion and anger. Once more the blast came by. Twice, three times, four times, blasts just kept coming from the same source and eventually, Scythe was knocked to his back. Tacq had a shocked look on his face. He tilted his head back a little so he could see what was causing those "magical bullets".
Z . . . Z . . . Ze-
?," Don't speak now Tacq. Here, take this."
But you're Z-
?," I said shut-up, and drink!"
Tacq drank the potion. The bitterness of it was almost unbearable. But, after He gulped it all down, Tacq's body lit up with a golden sensation for a split second and Tacq was healed.
Zegar!
F-Zegar," I almost forgot about this battle!"

Future Zegar is back! Does he still want to destroy himself? Does he want to help out the group?

[/OOC] I hope it's okay with you, Karma! :D We just seemed to forget all about the future stuff.[/OOC] :)

[OOC] You're right, Tacq can run super fast, that's one of his skills right? but that has nothing to do with weapon speed. [/OOC]

Jopia's eyes start to glow...

Jopia: "I wont let you stop us!!"

Jopia rushes at Scythe. His sword moves so fast Scythe can barely see it.

Jopia: "You must leave now!!"

Jopia cuts Scythes chest, arm, and stomach.

Scythe: "RAHHH!!"

Scythe runs over and grabs Mizuki, and puts his claws up against her throat.

Scythe: "If you move kid, she dies!!"

Jopia: "Let her go!!"

Scythe: "Zegar, give me the sword, or I'll kill her!!"

Zegar turns around to see Mizuki in grave danger...

Tacq: "NO!!"

Zegar: "...."


<Narrator> What will our heroes do? Will Zegar give him the sword? Find out in the next post! </Narrator>

[ooc] Mizuki isn't helpless, you know. She DOES have attacks. [/ooc]

Mizuki: "Foolish child."
Scythe: "WHAT?!"

Mizuki suddenly slammed her hands (which were covered in plasma energy) in Scythe's stomach, freeing herself from his grasp. She immediately ran to a nearby tree, and muttered a few words. Suddenly, the trees began shooting leaves at Scythe, who began trying to avoid them after the first few hits. F-Zegar, and Tacq also joined in the assault, with Tacq throwing daggers, and F-Zegar shooting magical bullets at the beast out of sheer enjoyment. Jumping this way and that, Scythe tried to avoid each and every leaf, bullet, and dagger. To this he failed, and when the assault of leaves, bullets, and daggers ceased, he was covered in cuts, gashes, and scratches from head to toe. Scythe jumped at Mizuki in response to his feeling for revenge, but was stopped by Jopia who knocked him flat with the flat side of his sword. Scythe got up and again attacked Jopia, who, out of reflex, held up his sword and blocked the swipe of claws. Tacq threw a few daggers at Scythe at this time, who dodged, and again began his assault on the party. He moved around the trees with a brand new speed, and stabbed at everyone. Everyone was able to avoid damage, except for Mizuki who placed a barrier over herself. Taking minimal damage, Mizuki began casting Regen (rapid healing spell) Jopia, Zegar, Tacq, F-Zegar, ShinRyu, and ShoRyu. Finally exhausted, she fell on her knees and held her head up with her hand. Suddenly, she felt something grab her, and in her exhaustion, she could not withstand it. Pulled away, into the bushes, Mizuki disappeared from sight...

[ooc] No support magic from Mizuki anymore for this fight. Keep in mind, that the Regen spell should stop working after the fight is over, or after a certain time runs out. According to Mizuki's magic status at this point, you have about 5 minutes into the fight from where she was taken away. Good luck. However, someone besides Mizuki is missing too... [/ooc]

[OOC] I didn't say she was helpless, but Scythe didn't know that... [/OOC]

[OOC]guess i know who that is roll !
well, i have two choice because there is only 2 characters that you didn't mention in your part of the fight ![/OOC]

Zegar:"i'll never give you my blade, it is mine ! you cannot take it from me !"
scythe:"such strong words fool. but our master will own it at the end"
*zegar came in blade in hand, covered by tacq, zegar succesfully reach scythe and slash him horizontally at the chest*
*scythe step backward, barely dodging the blow*
*zegar does an upward slash but scythe sidestep and dodge the blade*
*jopia come in and do a TACKLE at scythe who didn't take long to threw his tentacles at jopia*
JOPIA:"DAAAAH !!!"
*jopia side roll barely dodging the tentacles whipping behind him*
*Tacq throws a dagger at scythe, scythe grab it with great skill and throw it back at TACQ who was took by surprise and barely dodged it*
TACQ:"that was close"
SCYTHE:"SEE, NO ONE CAN BEAT ME !"
Jopia:"damn tentacles !"
*jopia couldn't remember the little training he had with zegar about HOW TO DODGE and COUNTER-ATTACK at the right time. he dodged a few hit by the tentacles but once he has the chance he would have to cut them down !*
*ZEgar still giving scythe a hard time by slashing here and there*
SCYTHE:"now you die !"
*scythe eyes turned PITCH BLACK and some energy came out, trusting its way to zegar*
ZEGAR:"ARRRRGG !"
*zegar barely dodged it but still got half of the damage*
*the energy blast then came all the way to jopia*
JOPIA:"no !!"
*jopia tryed to deflect it with his sword who got thrown at incredible speed into the nearest tree while joipia was throw backward on impact*
*tacq saw it coming and avoided it*
*the blast blowned-up in the trees*
Zegar:"DIE MONSTER !"
*as scythe was still recovering after that attack, zegar blade was coming down at incredible speed !*
*scythe barely dodged the hit, and then was dodging another one, then another one and another. he was too weak now and couldn't counter-attack zegar attacks*
*then zegar throwed scythe on the ground and pointed his blade to the neck of the creature*
ZEGAR:"you are dead"
SCYTHE:"do it, if i don't get killed by you, i will be by my own master, he is way stronger then both my brother and i ! you won't stand a chance against him !"
ZEGAR:"tell your master that we will never give him what he wants."
SCYTHE:"the master knew you would say that, but even if you are stronger then we anticipated, you cannot win this, as the end has started and there is nothing you can do. its like that village that you ordered to destroy, no one has survived, all the people died from horrible death !"
ZEGAR:"ENOUGH !"
*zegar swung his blade and cutted scythe head*
F-ZEGAR:"it all started with that fight, i remember it like it was yesterday, but it was 543 years ago !"
*ZEgar was looking at his future self, then some strange energies was coming out of scythe dead body. it was his soul *
ZEGAR:"the blade of vengeance has the ability to make me stronger, by absorbing the soul of those i hate !"
*zegar holded out the blade, the soul of scythe came swirling around it then it transformed into energy, then it all got sucked into zegar's body !*

TO BE CONTINUED...

Jopia walks off on his own...

Jopia: "Tudeki, please help me... I am even stronger than you, but I am not a skilled warrior, please guide me, my friend."

Tudeki's spirit appears-

Tudeki: "Jopia, you have all the skills inside you. You must awaken the skills you hold in the sword. You'll know it when the time comes. You can do it Jopia... We believe in you."

Tudeki fades away.

Jopia: "I don't understand Tudeki!! How will I know, how will I know!!!" :(

<Narrator> Jopia is frustrated with his lack of skills... can he gather the knowledge the sword carries before they reach Duraga? Find out as the story unfolds! </Narrator>

http://www.boomspeed.com/tantum/Jopia.jpg

ShinRyu and ShoRyu continue bombarding Jackal until Jackal is bloody and tired.ShinRyu then went high into the air,gathering yellow energy from the sun,and divebombed into Jackal.ShoRyu noticed how Mizuki healed them,dropped,and was pulled into the Forest.He gasped and quickly transformed into a Human form again,except only wearing pants and a Pair of Dragon wings.As soon as he reached the ground,he changed into his Ninja form and sunk into the ground.

ShoRyu:>Finish him,Shin,I shall find Lady Mizuki..."

ShinRyu:>Alright.<
Corona suddenly barked right above ShoRyu.ShoRyu pulled the wolf under also,changing it`s density so it would fit.Corona stopped and looked at ShoRyu as if about to attack.

ShoRyu:"Shhhh...I feel something in this forest,thouggh I don`t know what.We shall find Lady Mizuki,for she is weakened and undefended at the moment."

Corona:"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...."

Corona remained quiet as the two traveled the undegrowth trying to follow Mizuki.

ShinRyu gathered energy again and dive bombed Jackal again,leaving the energy on his head and transformed into his tiger form again as the energy exploded.Jackal rose from the mist enraged.

Jackal:"RARRRRR!!!This ends NOW!You shall DIE without your brother`s support!!!"

ShinRyu:"Don`t count on it..."

To count for the two tentacles,two more claws struck from ShinRyu`s back.Then he formed a sheild around the two so they could fight until the other humans could break through it.

ShinRyu:"I shall rip through your heart and devour your soul!"

Jackal:"You shall not rise victorious,you sorry excuse for a kitty!"

The insults that two felines always used before fighting each other seemed to enraged them both and they started to fight,mixing many wrestling and Tiger Kung-Fu techniques and normal "Tooth & claw"Feline fighting.It was apparent ShinRyu was about to die but Mizuki`s Rapid Heal kept reenergizing.But then it stopped working.

Tacq and the two Zegars were repeatedly trying to break throught the Barrier.Zegar slashed on the outside,F-Zegar shot at it with his magic bullets and Tacq repeatedly slashed the Barrier,blurring around different spots.

Zegar:"Alright,use your teleportation!"

Tacq:"This is a Magic barrier,so we need to use a magic attack.Or that Dragon will have to be knocked out...But by that time,Jackal might find enough time to kill him...Can you do it,Jopia?"

Jopia:"...I don`t-"

F-Zegar:"Look!"

His magic bullets started to break through it,but only made holes the size of an inch.Tacq and Zegar started to slash at the holes while Jopia turned and started calling for Tudeki to come back,wanting to learn of his powers instead of wasting his time on the Dragons that Tudeki killed himself for.

[OOC]one question, who made jopia the HERO ? i mean you say he is very strong, actually stronger then anuthing on earth, except that he doesn't know it. who said he was the HERO ?[/OOC]

ZEGAR:"damn it !"
F-ZEGAR:"no worries here !"
GANG:"huh ?"
F-ZEGAR:"shinryu will win it, that's if i recall right !"
TACQ:"hope your right, till then..."
*tacq continues to hit as hard as he can on the damn thing*
ZEGAR:"where's mizuki ?"
JOPIA:"don't know ! she was there a minute ago !"
ZEGAR:"DAMN THAT GIRL !"
*Zegar goes thru the woods, sensing some presence there !*

TO BE CONTINUED...
[OOC]Roll, up to you for the next part ![/OOC]

[OOC] I didn't say anything of the sort... I said he's the strongest warrior, yes. But he's not a skilled warrior, he's just a kid. He isn't the hero of the story. He has the raw power to beat almost anything, but barely knows how to use it. Are you referring to DragonDude's comments? [/OOC]

http://www.boomspeed.com/tantum/Jopia.jpg

[OOC] No, Tacq doesn't just RUN fast, he moves fast in general. A master of Kenetics. [/OOC]

[ooc]Where did I say that? ??? [/ooc]

ShinRyu was still getting beat by Jackal...but then he heard F-Zegar`s words.Well,he only heard win,but he thought hard of it and pieced together what he heard.

"ShinRyu...win...recall..."

He nodded and stood before getting rammed in the back.But he immediately got up and grabbed all of Jackal`s extrimities with his own and with one swift motion,broke his wrists and tore off his tentacles.Jackal yelled with an earshattering scream.

Jackal:"Yeeeeeeaaaaaarrrrghhhhh!You`ll pay!!!!YOU`LL PAAAAAYY!!!"

ShinRyu smiled a toothy grin and licked the blood off his hands.

ShoRyu was still trailing the undergrowth,holding Corona`s jaw shut.Whatever was dragging her was speedy and ShoRyu could only see her feet.

ShoRyu:>Where are you being taken,Lady Mizuki?.........."

[ooc]Not really in the mood for writing a chapter... but I'll try.[/ooc]

Mizuki's eyes opened up. She saw before her eyes a large amount of crystal shards, each one producing a glorious light. Mizuki finally got up and looke at her surroundings. It was all cyrstal, and everything about it sparkled with light except for the small black hole that was on to points of the area. She looked deeper into those area's, but saw only more darkness. She felt herself walking, and only moved into the darkness. As she moved deeper, so did the sprakling lights of the crystal. The strange part about this, was that there was no fire or source of light anywhere. Mizuki didn't stop to think about this, but only continued on into the darkness within. As she moved deeper into the darkness, she looked at the crystal walls...

<<Meanwhile>>

Tacq: *Chewing on pre-packed food from Mizuki* "Look at those dragon people GO!"

<<back with Mizuki>>

Mizuki the walls around her began showing images of other beings, and objects. Tacq showed up, and was cheerfully laughing away with his hair ruffled up and a bandage on his cheek. Mizuki remembered that sight, which was hilarious to think about. Tacq was fighting with a monster along the way, and tripped on a rock while throwing a dagger and crashed into a tree. The monster was struck in the forehead, and was killed, but Tacq was fascinatingly dazed with a few scratches and a nose bleed. After he had realized what had happened, he just laughed away...

Now Zegar's serious, "I don't believe it's not butter" face. So many times has she seen that look on his face. The one time that came to mind was when they were battling the "Lickers". He seemed smarter than he showed himself to be, and also showed his strengths in that battle. Just the thought of how everything worked out with his help made Mizuki smile.

Tudeki's face came in the walls now. It was wierd and blurry, and Mizuki couldn't make out any expressions on it. She looked away from it, and could only think of the fight in which he performed Hara-kiri. Strange as this was, she couldn't lose that sight of his limp and lifeless body. She shook the image away from her mind, as Jopia's face appeared. It was an angered face, and she knew that one well. It was when ShinRyu and ShoRyu were revived from death. He grew upset with Mizuki and abandoned her with Zegar and Tacq...

Now the faces were changing, and she saw ShinRyu and ShoRyu. They both had different expressions - one of sadness, and the other was innocence. She remembered the first time she saw them. They were a bit scary at first, but they were wounded, and her female nurturing instincts would not allow them to continue as they were. So, using her own physical energy, she healed them at the cost of her conciousness.

She looked at the walls again, but saw nothing more. Finally, she saw a light at the end of the tunnel, and she ran into it...
Suddenly, Mizuki opened her eyes to see forest all around her. She looked all around, and saw that she was being dragged by a dark figure. She couldn't make it out, but what ever it was, she didn't like it. Finally, she summoned up more of her magic power, and cast an ice spell on the dark figure. Frozen, the figure stood still in a strange position. Mizuki pulled herself free, and saw ShinRyu. He was panting, and looked exhausted.

Mizuki: "Are you ok?"
ShinRyu: "I'm fine. Now, climb on my back, we're going back to ShoRyu."
Mizuki: "Ok..."

She finally climbed onto ShinRyu's back, and ShinRyu began to run through the forest again. Suddenly, their movement stopped as they heard a roar. The spell Mizuki cast had worn off. The dark figure approached Mizuki and ShinRyu, revealing itself to be very large in size, and covered with a dark aura. Mizuki jumped off of ShinRyu's back, kicked his shin, and yelled at him to run. Then, they began to run as fast as they could through the forest (with ShinRyu leading) heading back to the others with the monster following them. It was roaring very loudly, and it made large crater's where it stepped...

[ooc] Kinda wierd, but hey... I just HAVE to get some important items! This monster will have the following items on it: Star Fragment (x1), Inferno Fang (x1), Life Ring (x1), Red Fang (x2), Dino Bone (x1) and Sharp Spike (x4). Good luck with beating this one though, and it has no emotional portion of the brain. It can't be scared, and we cannot escape from this fight, GOT IT?![/ooc]

[OOC]understood, but like i said before, the parts i will be making will not involves his ITEMS has i don't know them ![/OOC]

*jackal was beaten and bruised to hell, so was shoryu... but jackal was very angry*
JACKAL:"YOU'LL PAY ! HERE AND NOW !"
*jackal was preparing something*
*shoryu was ready for anything but the space they got to fight was very limited and shoryu couldn't be using his DRAGON FORM, he had to fight on ground with what he had*
*suddently, an purple black aura appeared around jackal, the aura started to grow*
SHORYU:"what the ..."
*shoryu stepped backward as far as he could in the energy barrier. but he couldn't avoid that STRANGE ENERGY*
JACKAL:"you die now, even if you survives, i will still be able to kill you with my bare hands !"
*the aura had almost engulfed the energy barrier, shoryu had no place to hide*
*suddently the energy barrier just vanished, the aura was dissipating as well.*
SHORYU:"what happenned ?"
*JACKAL was dead, he had a giant hole in his chest*
ZEGAR:"you defeated him !"
SHORYU:"i... did nothing !"
F-ZEGAR:"what does that mean ? it was not like that. i would have recalled it, damn, the future must have changed some how !"
ZEGAR:"what ? what was supposed to happen ?"
F-ZEGAR:"can't remember anything ! it's like that fight never existed !"
*mizuki camed in, shinryu and corona were following*
MIZUKI:"something is coming in. it is huge !"
SHINRYU:"brother ? you ok ?"
SHORYU:"do i look like it ?"
SHINRYU:"you're in such a bad shape, but you won the fight !"
ZEGAR:"can't do anything, we'll have to run lets' go !"
*suddently, a strange feeling got up on everyone. it's like someone stronger then anything ever sensed was their !*
?:"you cannot get out of this place, the forest of RAMSHED will be your TOMBs"
*the laugh echoed around the forest, but none could see where that voice camed from. as ZEGAR was walking around, he walked in an invisible wall, it was all around the characters limiting them to go too far. but the DOME of ENERGY was very BIg, it was like it was taking the forest borders has the limits. our gang didn't have any choice but to fight the upcoming monster*
ZEGAR:"TRAPPED ! we'll have no choice but to fight it !"
*in a very deep voice*
BRUTE of ASGUARD:"i'm gonna kill you, take the girl and the sword and there is nothing you can do about, but you might make this funnier if you defend yourselves"
*the huge creature was laughing so hard, that the trees were shaking*
F-ZEGAR:"YOU !"
*he was very upset at something, it was about that monster !*
F-ZEGAR:"you shouldn't have been here now ! you shouldn't even be awaken ! as they already oppenned the gate ?"
ZEGAR:"what is happenning to you ?"
*everyone looked at F-ZEGAR, he was disappearing very slowly*

TO BE CONTINUED ...

[OOC]hope you know what that means ! F-ZEGAR has a very hard time to tell what was supposed to happen. and a few questions comes to mind.

why do the EVIL need MIZUKI for ?
why has f-zegar started to disappear ?
why is the sword ZEGAR is wearing, is so important to those monsters

[OOC] Umm, Jopia walked back to his friends after he called for help from Tudeki. Yet no one has mentioned him... And no, he wouldn't help ShoRyu right now. [/OOC]

ShinRyu and ShoRyu healed Sho together with what little magic he had left,and it was obvious to another magician that he had no more Magic Energy.ShinRyu guarded Mizuki from the walking Cataclysm in the Forest approaching ever so closer.Tacq looked from F-Zegar,to the Brute,to the terror from the forest.He pulled as many knives as he could.

Tacq:"Great...just great..."

Then,if out of nowhere,ShoRyu began to groan in a hoarse voice,and the Turban covering his face flew off to reveal a sharp row of many-inch-long teeth and a mouth reaching his ears.ShinRyu looked on as ShoRyu grimaced.

ShinRyu:"Sho...no!You must feed now!The Dragon Fury is growing!It will-"

Before he could finish,ShoRyu noisily shot Dragon Wings from his back.ShoRyu talked sinisterly.

ShoRyu:"I should have ate his heart before he blew it out..."

Jopia shuddered at the transforming ShoRyu.Mizuki looked back at the Forest giant,but then turned back to ShoRyu,wondering what was happening.

Mizuki:"*Hurriedly,as the Forest creature was approaching*What`s wrong with ShoRyu?"

ShinRyu:"A virus of our clan called Dragon Rage.We haven`t mastered it yet,so we can`t control it.Everytime one of us is out of Magic Energy,we automatically change into a Dragon and our vision is dimmed,so we kill everything in site to increase our energy."

Mizuki looked at the approaching enemies.

Mizuki:"It might be put to good use."

ShinRyu:"Forgive my tone,lady Mizuki,but NOTHING has lived it!Mountains have crumbled under someone untrained by it!And even when trained,all targets are...demised."

Mizuki gasped,but secretly hoped that he would build up enough energy by only killing their enemies.Zegar slowly wondered about F-Zegar,but was also diverting his eyes to the Brute and the Creature.He squinted his eyes at them both and got into a battle position.

ShinRyu thought as his enemies reached them,and started to send an SOS signal in Dragonese to the underground Dragons.

Would the Dragons come?Will ShoRyu actually kill everything with his Dragon Rage?And what happened to F-Zegar?

ZEGAR:"only two things made the other me to disappear !"
GANG:"huh ?"
*zegar is holding his sword with a fierce grip, he was angered at something*
ZEGAR:"or the future got better, and there was no need for him to come to the past..."
TACQ:"or you will be killed !"
ZEGAR:"I WON'T ALLOW IT !"
*Zegar jumped onto the BRUTE OF ASGUARD and the fight began !*
ZEGAR:"I... REFUSE ... TO GET KILL THAT EASILY !"
*TACQ joined the fight aside zegar, tacq couldn't believe it would end like this !*
*mizuki and corona were looking at shoryu, she had to do something, or this would turn to a nightmare and no one would survived. that thought haunted her mind, she was trying to find a way to bring shoryu back to his normal self !*
*shinryu was trying to convice his brother to keep his mind to it, but it seemed to get worst after each minute*

TO BE CONTINUED ...

[OOC]i'm waiting for you guys to do the battle as i don't know those ITEMS you mentionned roll ![/OOC]

[ooc] We'll get the items after it is killed. So....KILL IT! O.O;; [/ooc]

Tacq and Zegar fought the Bruce with furry, but with a mighty blow, he knoecked them both back to the group. Tacq looked behind him to see the dissapearing Zegar.
F-Zegar, "What . . . what is going on? HELP ME!"
Suddenly, a flash of golden light broke off in the sky, and a winged, angelic figure swooped down, pick up F-Zegar, and brought him back up to the golden flash in the sky. The golden then dissapeared.
As the winged one came down, however, Tacq could feel words in his mind (yes, FEEL words). The voice boomed inside of him at a frightenning volume and pace, although, it gave Tacq a peace in his heart. Tacq had no clue what the voice said, but he knew what it meant. That being was from the future also, and he brought F-Zegar back.
Zegar," What the! WHAT WAS THAT!"
That . . . that wasTacaeus
Jopia," Huh? Who's Tacaeus?"
Do you think we have time to discuss that right now?!
The ground boomed once more as the monster drew closer.
This is gonna be one hell of a ride . . .

[OOC]Tacaeus is part of my story, don't make up anything for him. He will be important, story-wise.[/OOC]

ShinRyu stopped his call for the Underground Dragons' help.They were obviously too far under(he was sure they heard him with Dragon ears) but it might take them too long to go up.And he couldn`t go under for them,because his brother seemed to get worse with the virus.

ShinRyu:"Everyone stand back!"

He grabbed Mizuki and jumped into the highest tree,leaving her on the shortest branch.

ShinRyu:"Forgive me,Lady Mizuki,but I maybe the only who can stop him."

Mizuki shook her head and landed on his shoulders as he was floating down.

Mizuki:"No way.Maybe I can help."

Zegar and Tacq nodded,facing the Brute.

ShinRyu:>Da** these humans...So stubborn...<

Nonetheless,he summoned a large gale of wind to push them far back by raising his hands.It wasn`t very effective,but it got them out of site,as ShoRyu,deformed,looked around wildly as if looking for prey.

The new ShoRyu looked like part Dragon,part human,with a human build,yet horns,wings,and extended claws.Not to mention reddish scales all around his body,making his Ninja threads shrink.His whole body (even eyes)were a blood red.

To a Dragon,this was the color of pure destruction.

ShoRyu looked wildly at his brother and drew forth a claw from his knuckles,Wolverine style.He slashed it at ShinRyu with immense weapon speed,but moved sluggishly,as if enjoying the deaths possibly coming from his hands.With another slash,ShoRyu quickly squared ShinRyu in his chin with the another hand,about to extend the claw in that one also.But ShinRyu dodged his head to the side right before the claw extended.He drew the Kitanas from the back of his Ninja costume.He connected them with the other Kitanas on his back to make two double-swords.He went into the Ninjitsu position.

ShinRyu:"Forgive me bro-"

Before he finished,ShoRyu grinned a toothy grin,showing blood-red teeth,and slashed at him many times.ShinRyu was immediately trying to direct him to the Brute,but ShinRyu was slashed so much blood began to pool at his feet.ShinRyu aimed a few more swipes at ShoRyu,but was quickly rendered.As he dropped to the ground,he spoke a few words in Dragonese and pointed to the Brute,but it didn`t matter.ShoRyu`s claws were many feet long,so ShoRyu took many steps toward his brother,about to stab him in the heart with one hand and jab one through his neck with the other.But he started shortening his blades to make the moment last.

Zegar & Tacq looked at the Brute,then at the Evil ShoRyu.Which one should they attack?The one about to make a kill or the one who was obviously going to kill them all?Tacq looked at Zegar and nodded.Zegar went towards ShoRyu while Tacq went towards the Brute.Tacq was quickly knocked away after getting a few slashes in,while Zegar got it worse.Although ShoRyu didn`t even seem to turn his head quick enough,another eye opened on his forehead.It turned to Zegar and squinted.Right before Zegar striked,ShoRyu raised his hand so quick that it seemed to take Zegar a few moments to realize he had been stabbed in the shoulder.He staggered before switching into Half-conciousness.ShoRyu licked his teeth menacingly and looked at his two targets.He had to get ShinRyu.As if savoring the moment,he was slowly shrinking his blade until it was the length/width of a pen.Then he slowly aimed for ShinRyu`s chest.

Will ShoRyu actually kill his brother?Will the Brute succeed in taking all of their lives and Zegar`s sword?And will Zegar`s sword react to Zegar`s endangerment?

[OOC] You guys forgot about Jopia? I was gonna have him kill ShoRyu before dragon posted, but I didn't want to get bitched at. Jopia is gonna enjoy kicking ShoRyu's ass right now, so send him that way. [/OOC]

[ooc]I'd post a story...it's just... I'm not in the mood. :( [/ooc]

*ZEGAR didn't care if he was stabbed, he was feeling nothing. he had finally understood the meaning of all this.*
ZEGAR:"ha ha ha, so this is it, i finally pay, for all my past deeds !"
*zegar fell unconscious, in shoryu claws*
TACQ:"uuuhh !"
*tacq was againt a tree, the same that he hurted on his way. he was recovering from a very strong blow from the BRUTE OF ASGUARD*
ShinRyu:"damn it, i can't even stop my own brother, curse him ! i have to find a way to revert him back to normal before anything happen !"
*shinryu was looking at zegar, tacq and his brother, it was clear that ZEGAR was done for, tacq was very busy trying to survive the BRUTE attacks. mizuki was on the trees aay from the fight. but one question remained on his mind !*
SHINRYU:"where's that kid ?"
*shoryu was about to devour ZEGAR, very slowly, meaning very painfully*
*suddently coming out of nowhere...*
*a giant flash of light came in, it stuck in shoryu's back*
JOPIA:"you made TUDEKI kill himself, and yet you have been given a second chance to live, i won't allow you to live any longer !"
*but shoryu was too strong and the sword of jopia didn't slashed far enough, shoryu was injured, but not enough to kill him, while turning around to face the BRAT, he knocked him with his wings !*
*jopia was knocked to the nearest tree. jopia fell on the floor, but he was still willing to fight and tryed to get up*
MIZUKI:"something wrong, i can feel them being in so much trouble, gotta do something. i have to help them. but how ?"
*as mizuki and the gang were busy*
*zegar sword got free, it rushed in mizuki's direction at incredible speed*
TACQ:"what the..."
JOPIA:"huh ?"
SHINRYU:"it's going to lady mizuki !"
*SHORYU was rushing to jopia ready to kill him*
*mizuki saw the sword coming at her and stopped in front of her*
MIZUKI:"the BLADE OF VENGEANCE ! why did youcome to me ?"
*mizuki heard voices in her mind, the sword was talking to her.*
MIZUKI:"i understand !"
*mizuki took the sword in his hand*
*a bright flash of white light came out of the mizuki. an energy outburst came out. the tree were bending cause of the gust of wind coming out of her.yet, she was fine, her eyes were close and she could feel the power flowing inside her. she was changing ! her clothes had changed into somthing even more beatifull, it was like an ANGEL from heaven*
*mizuki openned her eye and FLOATED down of the tree she was in. she couldn't tell if this would help her defend his friends. but she could feel the souls of thousand peoples who got slayed by the blade, they were all willing to give her their strengh*

TO BE CONTINUED ...

[OOC]BLADE OF VENGEANCE:
that blade can suck someone souls before it gets to heaven/hell. the soul remain trap in the blade forever, except if the blade is shaterred into millions of pieces. the blade as of now couldn't be destroyed, as no materials from earth can scratches it.

the one who hold out the blade with a clear EVIL/GOOD heart, has the power to use the souls powers for its own purpose. that's what is happenning to mizuki, wheter she use the sword or not, she will have those powers as long as she is having the sword on her !

zegar isn't GOOD nor EVIL, he is neutral. that's why the blade has so weak powers in his hands ! yet, the blade chosed him, he had became the guardian of the blade ![/OOC]

ShinRyu was dying.That was obvious.But when ShinRyu saw the sword heading to Mizuki he suddenly felt an adrenaline rush and rammed into his brother.His brother of course countered but didn`t move his feet fast enough to dodge it.ShoRyu fell on the ground while ShinRyu fled over to Mizuki but suddenly saw her interactng wth the sword.

ShoRyu stood and faced Jopia pulling the sword out of his back.He started walking toward Jopia slowly savoring the blood on his blades.It seemed to absorb into his skin and he started glowing a red aura.He lost some of his Dragon features.Jopia ignored this and rolled out of his way.But ShoRyu kept walking.Because behind him was the Brute.And ShoRyu was aiming on the hardest foe in his way.

As soon as he reached the Brute,the Brute started laughing.

Brute:"HOOOOOHAAAAAAA!Come little freak!Taste my power!"

The Brute held back his fist as if charging for a blow but instead ShoRyu ran up his arm and jabbed his fist into its chin blade still extended.

ShoRyu(deformed):"Shen-Sho-Ryu-Ken!"

The Brute's eyes nearly popped out of its head.It tried to scream but the blade extended to the top of his head.A red aura surrounded them both and ShoRyu turned back into his human form.He backflipped off the Brute`s head and landed beside Mizuki.

ShoRyu:"Are you alright my lady?"

ShnRyu(weakly):"Brother...the wrath...has passed..."

His brother went into unconciousness.ShoRyu gasped as he wrapped his hand around his head and his turban reappeared.He looked at the damage he had did.Zegar was lying unconcious along wth ShinRyu and Jopia was ready to slaughter him.

ShoRyu:"No...brother!You must forgive me!"

He tried to heal some of his brother`s wounds but he didn`t want to change back into his Rage self.His brother was still bleedng by much so he would have to heal by himself.So he, Mizuki and Tacq looked at the Brute ready to fight.Jopia stood grimacing that he didn`t kill ShoRyu...

Okay,that`s two down,three to go.

[ooc]Hey, you might want to go to the link on my banner. ^.~[/ooc]

Mizuki held the blade of Vengance in her hands, and looked at it. Then, looking at the brute, she braced herself. Eventually, the Brute began to do some strange movements that were almost sequential. Suddenly the Blade began emitting little balls of light which began to surround Mizuki. She tried to look through the light, but could not see anything until they went away. When the lights went away, the Brutehad stopped the movements, but everyone else was attacking either the air or themselves. Mizuki looked at them, and finally figured out what the lights were for, and what the movements were. However, while she was standing there figuring everything out, she was hit into ShoRyu. After apologizing quickly, Mizuki ran away from ShoRyu who made a swipe at Mizuki, and Mizuki began to run around the Brute and everyone else looking for a way to stop everything.

Eventually, the Brute began his movements again, and the light flashed on again. This time, however, Mizuki saw everyone walking towards her with dangerous looks on their faces. Mizuki, a bit confused and scared, jumped high into the air. While in the air, Mizuki muttered a few words (Esuna!) and a bit of blue light began to surround everyone. When the light disappeared, everyone fell backwards in an unconcious state, except for the Brute. Having lost his little, but very effective armada, the Brute started rushing at Mizuki. Out of reflex, Mizuki swung the sword as hard as she could, and it hit the Brute. The Brute was flung backwards, now with a strange golden glow, and growled. He didn't look too damaged, however, Mizuki noticed that the glow began to change to balls of light, and each ball of light went to everyone else. Mizuki began to rush at the Brute, but since she had no experience with swords, she caused very little damage. However, with all of her strikes, she caused a mightier glow, and more light went into every person. Soon, they all began to get up, and they all shook their heads and remember what was going on.

Mizuki finally got some advice from the sword, which she took into mind. "Focus on your best abilities, and let us do the rest..."

[ooc] I can't make good battles, so I want you guys to do this. If you don't know already, Mizuki's best ability is magic... specifically healing and attack. So far, she only has ice, fire, holy (Which can't be unleashed yet), Non-Elemental (Can't be unleashed yet), recovery (life restoring and with the sword, Revival), and Forbidden (Can't be unleashed yet). Just..... remember, that she can cast spells that protect. It's up to you how she uses her magic. [/ooc]

Mizuki:"so i'll use what i know."
*the brute of asguard was coming back for more, he wanted the sword at all cost.*
*mizuki rised the sword over her head and clouds started to appear in the sky, but the brute stopped and throwed an energy ball that hitted mizuki before she could finish.*
*mizuki was sent flying toward the nearest tree at high velocity. then all of a suddent. she backflipped and landed before the tree.*
MIZUKI:"how did i do this ? ah, right the sword ! it gave me the fighter ability i am missing !"
*mizuki realised that the souls inside could fight thru her body. it was like they were there, fighting for her*
*again, she rushed toward the brute, sword in front. when it dodged her, she just continued towars the next tree and cutted it down, as the tree falled between them she putted the sword in front of her and closed her eye. the brute was coming at her but had to step the tree first and that's when she'll attak it*
BRUTE OF ASGUARD:"GIVE ME THAT SWORD WOMEN, and you'll die fast, i promised"
*the brute jumped on the tree*
*mizuki opened her eyes*
MIZUKI:"NOW !!!!"
*the tree lifted from the ground throwing the brute on the floor*
*mizuki then brought the sword at her side and putted an hand in front of her, targetting the brute*
*the brute came up and started running at her*
*a ball of fire appeared in mizuki's hand*
*the brute stopped and looked at her*
BRUTE OF ASGUARD:"fire doesn't hurt me much girl !"
*she whispered something and the ball of fire suddently rushed toward the brute*
BRUTE:"hahhahaah told you it wouldn't do a thing"
*the brute rushed toward her again, the ball of fire hitted the brute but passed thru him like he was a ghost*
*The brute tackled her, sending her flying toward a wall of rock*
*after that blow the brute started to burn form the inside*
*mizuki turned around in mid-air and her feets hitted the wall first, she tryed flipping and landing on her feets, but she couldn't pull it. she landed on the ground on her back*
MIZUKI:"ouch ! guess i'm not doing so good for now."
*she got up and looked at the brute, it was in pain, but it wasn't dead yet and it started to come at her again !*

TO BE CONTINUED ...

Jopia watches as Mizuki fights the monster, seeming not to care one bit who shall win the fight.

The Brute hit Mizuki, and sent her flying back again, this time she went flying through tree trunk.

Tacq: "Mizuki, Noo!!!!"

Tacq swiftly runs over to Mizuki.

Mizuki: "Tacq, run away."

Tacq: "I can't let you get hurt."

Mizuki: "Here it comes!!"

The Brute comes again, swinging at Tacq this time, though Tacq dodged the monsters attacks, and Mizuki attacked the confused monster.

Mizuki: "Yes!!"

The Brute turns around, and hits mizuki again, and she flies into a large rock.

Mizuki: "Ughh." *She tries to retain her balance*

Tacq attacks the monster, although does no real damage, manages to confuse the monster enough to give Mizuki time to regain her bearings.

Mizuki attacks the monster another time. She swings wildly at it, and hits it a few times with some good shots.

The Brute once again knocks Mizuki back, only this time she looks really hurt.

Tacq attacks the monster again, in anger, but the monster has other plans, and runs towards the injured Mizuki.

Tacq: "Jopia!!!"

Jopia: :( "I forgive you, Mizuki." :angryfire: *Runs at the monster with a new look in his eyes* "YOU CAN'T HURT HER!!!"

<Narrator> Jopia has given up his anger towards Mizuki, and her choice to revive the dragons. He now wishes to save her. Can he reach his friend in time? Or will the monster destroy our fine friend? Find out in the next EXCITING post!! </Narrator>


http://www.boomspeed.com/tantum/Jopia.jpg

ShinRyu,concious once more,rushed to Mizuki,slightly facing Jopia and the Brute,unsure of either of them.

ShinRyu:"Lady Mizuki!Are you alright?!You shall pay,you-"

Mizuki:"Urgh...I`m fine..."

ShinRyu raised his hand and a white light enveloped in green went from him to Mizuki.Mizuki`s wounds suddenly had a green mesh and started binding.

ShinRyu:"Don`t scratch it.Reptile skin heals faster than human skin."

Mizuki looked disgustingly at the reptile skin on her own,fading along with her wounds.

ShoRyu,though,was also fighting the Brute.He did another ShoRyuKen to the jaw,knocking a few teeth onto the ground.The Brute screamed and swung at him,but he disappeared.The Brute looked around frantically and found both ShoRyu and Tacq,blades extended,running onto his shoulder and did a combo to his face.The Brute screamed,took them in his hands,and drove them into the ground.Tacq hurriedly pulled ShoRyu out before he was crushed.

ShoRyu:"*Rubbing his jaw*Thank you human...I owe you one."

Tacq:"Don`t count on it."

Jopia looked at ShinRyu who was still eying him suspiciously.Should he form an alliance or not?>They sure do seem evil...But we are all fighting for the same cause...<Jopia smiled.

Jopia:"Let`s get 'im."

ShinRyu looked surprised,and nodded dumbly.He waited to see if Mizuki had recovered.When he figured that she did.He stook by her side and they leaped into battle.Zegar started thinking if he would stand a chance without his sword...

[OOC] Umm, how does it go from Jopia hurrying over to stop the monster, into ShoRyu fighting the monster, and healing Mizuki... before Jopia gets there? And Jopia would NEVER ally with ShoRyu at this point. [/OOC]

[OOC]well, that must mean zegar is back to reality, he was unconsious ![/OOC]

ZEGAR:{so, the BLADE OF VENGEANCE found his true master, ne need for me anymore. still, i have a vengeance to accomplish, sword or not, duraga will pay for his crimes, so will i}
*zegar turned back, and started to walk away silently*
*TACQ noticed him, but decided to let him go, thiking he would surprise the monster*
*Jopia saw him too, but thought the same way*
*zegar took a different road, walking about 100 feets away from the fight, and passing it, continuing the road to find duraga*
*he healed his wounds on the way to that place, passed RAMSHED FOREST in the northern ICELANDS*
BLADE OF VENGEANCE:{lady mizuki, you are now our master, the guardian has left the place, we now give you full control over us. give an order, and we'll obey}
MIZUKI:{thanks, but what doi you mean by the guardian has left ?}
*the blade stayed in silent !*

TO BE CONTINUED ...

[OOC]when the blade talks, it only talks to mizuki's mind, no one can understand it, unless they got telepathically linked with the blade. unless you can do that, no one except mizuki can understand the blade when it talks ![/OOC]

Jopia: "AHHH!!" *falls to the ground with his sword in his hands.*

Electricity runs throughout him, and the sword.

The electricity flies out of the sword, and hits the ground in front of him.

Tudeki appears from the blast.

Tudeki: "Jopia, I can't stay here with you, please send me back."

Jopia: "No! I need you!!"

Tudeki: "Why do you need me? There is nothing left I can do for you."

Jopia: *starts crying* "Please Tudeki, I don't know what to do, I can't do this without you."

Tudeki: "Ok Jopia, I will stay by your side until this is over, but I cant help you guys, I'm not really here."

Jopia: "Just being here is help enough."

Tudeki: *Hugs Jopia* "You're doing good, Jopia... Nothing will stop you, remember that."

Jopia: "I'm glad you're back Tudeki."

Tudeki: "Remember I can't be here long, so don't think I'll be with you forever."

Jopia: "I know!"

Tudeki: "Ok then, it's time to destroy the monster Jopia. You can do it, Jopia."

Jopia: "OK!" *Jopia runs at the monster with the confidence he's been lacking.*


<Narrator> Tudeki's spirit is trapped in this dimension for the time being. Although he can't physically help our heroes, his presence will help Jopia emotionally... Hopefully it will be enough for Jopia to stay sound minded. Will Jopia defeat the Brute? Find out in the next exciting posts! </Narrator>

Tacq glanced back at Zegar once more and noticed that Zegar just kept going.
What the hell . . .
Immediately, Tacq was at Zegar's side.
Yo, dude, you're a little far away from everyone . . . how're ya gunna help with your back turned?
Zegar kept his silence steady and kept walking.
Zegar?
Zegar looked down to the ground, but didn't stop moving.
Zegar! I'm talking to you!
Tacq put his hand on Zegars shoulder and like a reflex, Zegar knocked Tacq down to the ground. Tacq just looked at Zegar, eyes wide open, mouth losely closed, with his hand on his chin.
Zegar," I'm sorry. Go back."
Zegar wait!
Zegar," JUST LEAVE ME ALONE, TACQ! I'M OF NO USE TO YOU GUYS HERE! JUST GO BACK AND HELP MIZUKI AND JOPIA!!!"
But . . .
Tacq slowly stood up, and he nodded.
I don't know where you're going, but good-bye . . . friend.
The two of them clasped wrists and parted. Slowly, anger and despair were building up in Tacq. Not because of what Zegar had done, but because of all the losses that had been made, and the fact that everything is going down the road to death. The emotions were so incredible, Tacq's skin began to even change to a reddish colour. The group heard a large booming sound, but did not recognize it. It was the sound of Tacq comletely deminishing the sound barrier. By the time the group could refocus on the battle before them, Tacq had slammed, full force into the monster and they flew into a crowd of trees. No one could see them, but they had an idea of where they were because of the rustling leaves. They began to run in that direction, but had been drawn back due to an imensely large flash of light where Tacq and the monster faught.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

It has been a few hours now, but there is still no sign of Tacq or the monster. The group had searched the forest over, but found no trace.
Mizuki," Tacq . . ."
Jopia," What could have happened?"
There was a long pause.
Shoryu," Maybe . . . Maybe Tacq gave his life for us."
Mizuki," WHAT!"
Shinryu," Yes, he must have killed the monster by killing himself."
A single tear slid down Jopia's cheek.
Mizuki," DAMMIT, TACQ! DAMN YOU!!!"
Mizuki fell on her knees.
Jopia," Wait . . ."
Mizuki," What?"
Jopia," Wh . . . where's Zegar?"
The group's look tearned to an alarmed state.
Mizuki," What's happening . . ."

[OOC]Guys, I'm sorry for not posting much at all, I really am.


Don't try to put Tacq back into the story, that'll be for me to do.[/OOC]
