As the old woman ran she suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground, in the blink of an eye Ombra stood above her with his Katanas pointed down. "Give me my soul,” hissed Ombra as the flames coming from his eyes burned brighter. She slowly reached into her pouch and pulled out a ball of the darkest jade, she then set it on the floor and rolled it away. Ombra stepped away from the old woman and sheathed one of the Katanas; she quickly got up and ran. Keep his eye on the jade ball; Ombra threw the Katana at the old woman. It imbedded itself into her back, she then fell to the floor. The flame from the blade quickly consumed her, in a matter of minutes she was nothing but ashes; yet somehow the Katana still stood upright. Ombra slowly reached for the ball, when he touched it he felt something within it. He had finally had his soul back; he opened a pack at his side and set the ball in it. He then walked over to his Katana, picked it up and sheathed it. He then stepped out of Scuro as the flames coming from his eyes lessoned but did not disappear. As he walked away a large crack appeared in the ground behind him, Ombra noticed it yet he still kept walking. A large demonic shape crawled from the crack. "Stop human" it hissed. "What" replied the dark ninja as he stopped but did not turn around. "You slew my servant, yet you have your soul so why do you not restore it?" the demon lord hissed. "Because those with souls can be killed once and not come back, but I prefer to come back. And I said that I wanted my soul back, I never said that I wanted it restored" shot back Ombra as he began to walk away. "How dare you not face me, you will pay for such dishonor" roared the demon lord. "No, how dare you anger me" shouted Ombra back as he turned and faced the demon, now the blue-black flame that came from his eyes looked like horns. Though Ombra didn't realize it, the flames that came from his eyes were like an anger meter. Ombra growled as he pulled out the two Katanas, the blue-black flame burst from the hilts and quickly covered the blades. "I will slay all those that anger me,” hissed Ombra as he shot toward the Demon lord. Before the demon lord could return to his lair and escape the dark ninja it was to late, he had been slain. The demon lord's head slowly fell onto the ground with a sickening plop, the body then teetered then fell making the same plop. Ombra looked at the dead demon lord, then at the ashes. "How can a soul be worth so much?" asked Ombra as he sheathed the Katanas. He then began to make his way out of the cave, as he walked he began to remember all those that he killed to get back something that belong to him. "So what, they were in my way,” hissed Ombra as he made it outside. He then took a running leap and leapt off the ledge into mid air, he had always wondered what flying had felt like and now he knew. As the ground loomed up to him, he prepared himself for impact. His feet hit the ground first, and the bones in his legs shattered and those in his upped body were jabbed upward killing him instantly. He then appeared in a tree near his dead body, he looked at the body as it faded away. "You know, suicide is not a good habit to get into,” said a voice from behind him, Ombra turned and leapt from the tree branch with both Katanas blazing. "You dare to disturb me,” hissed Ombra as the flames around his eyes grew. "Yes, but I have a good reason too; and it might be a good idea for you to know my name which is Kisah" replied a human female. "Like I care, you will pay with your life for speaking to me" replied Ombra as he lunged at the human, but he never got close for a blue blur ended his life. He was in the shadows of the trees when he saw what had just killed him; it was a blue dragon that had black leopard spots. "Well there went a possible candidate,” said Kisah as she turned and began to make her way to her dragon Icix. "The human's not dead" Icix as Kisah slipped into her real form. "He is in the shadows of the trees,” added the dragon. Seeing the girl change Ombra sheathed his Katanas and stepped out of the shadows. "You mentioned something about a candidate, what were you talking about?" asked Ombra. Kisah turned toward him and smiled, "There is a place called Cy Dragonstake where you can impress a dragon. And by dragons I mean ones that are as evil as Icix here" replied Kisah. "From that time that you stalled him, I was able to search him and he will be accepted at the Nero Sands,” said Icix to Kisah. She nodded before she mounted the Icix. "Come with us, and you can kill more,” said Kisah as Ombra nodded and mounted behind her. Though Ombra didn't really want to go he no longer had any purpose here, so he decided to go with her and see this Cy Dragonstake place that she mentioned. Though the dragon had no wings it seemed to have a strange power for instead of being near a mountain they now stood in front a large arena filled with eggs. "Now I leave you to do what you wish,” said Kisah as Ombra leapt onto the ground, he looked at the eggs then back for the two were gone. He crossed his arms and closed his eyes, his cape slowly fluttered behind them then quickened. His mind now traveled in Scuro for it was a faster way to scout a new area, he found that the top half of the tower was closed but through Scuro he could enter but he decided not to. His mind then left Scuro; he then leapt into the stands and crossed his arms. Since he was stuck here he would wait till someone would tell him what they do in Cy Dragonstake. |
