Arianna
legacy - the darkness rises
(http://www.labofabyll.com/forum/threadid.php?threadid=787)
She ran towards a
wall and kicked off it, sending herself up, higher and higher till she got to
the roofs. From then she started to jump, getting somewhat of a clear look of
the stadium.
A few buildings away, she climbed the tallest she could see
and sat, crouched, much like the fashion of some agile animal, watching the
stones crumble on themselves.
Cremo pulled Skye to the side as they approached the shore. "I'm worried about Medley... I think this is what he was afraid of, back there."
Satoshi clawed back
as he saw India come near him,he clasped a large book to his chest,his face
covered in burns.
"no you stay away!....GET AWAY!"
He reached out
with his hand and he unleased a fire ball at her.
She moved to the
side, dodging it. With a ravaged hiss she sprung from the rooftops and slammed
into him, slamming her fist into the side of his face, one hand on the
book.
---------
Skye blinked and looked at Cremo. "Well...what are
we supposed to do? If we leave him alone something might attack him."
His face crumpled
around her fist and his body fell lifeless to the floor,as she stood back up the
body started to twitch,rising back to his feet,his head sagging at an awkward
angle.
"you really think you can stop me...ME!?..."
He floated off
the ground and the book he had flew back into his hands,he chanted a few words
and the ground in the arena started to split and break apart,with the spell cast
Satoshi had finished the job Darkbring needed him to do and cut off his
afterlife,the corpse falling to the ground like a puppet.
White-Jet almost
fell over before Zero grabbed her and yanked here away from the cracks. Rock's
hands started trembling a lot from the amount of evil coming from the
spell.
Rock: This isn't good!
"Rock!" India
yelled at him. "Get over the whole hand shaking thing!! We know everytime you
feel evil your hand shakes. It has been shaking for your whole entire
life...things are more important so just get over it!!"
She jumped above
the cracks and growled at the darkness. She formed a beam of energy and shot it
into the cloud.
Rock stuffed his
trembling hands in his pocket.
Rock: S-Sorry...I just can't. It's a habit
I can't get rid of no matter how hard I try.
He takes out his beam saber
and readies himself for whatever happens next. Zero does the same, standing in
front of White-Jet as both a shield and defender.
The ground
continued to break apart until there was enough room for a darkness to seep out
of it,it converged on the center of the arena and it began to swirl like a
tornado,something inside made a gesture and it broke apart immediately,revealing
a figure wearing a ragged brown cloak around 8 foot in height and was carrying a
blood stained rusted sword.It raised its head,blood dripping from its hidden
mouth and turned to the warriors,it lifted its shrouded hand,the clothing fell
back revealing a black skinned beastial hand,when it spoke it sounded like
several people speaking at once.
"I am your death,now who wishs to meet
me first?"
Everyone but Zero gulped and began to take a few steps back. Zero was a bit nervous as he tightened his grip on his Z-Saber, looking at the creature before him.
It took a step
forward and the ground blackened and wasted away under his shrouded
feet.
---
Might shivered violently.
"we must go,we must get
to Arianna NOW!"
Zero: Whoa...talk about freaky. I'm not even sure if I can match him even in maverick-mode.
India jumped down
in front of Rock and Zero, her wings spread out wide, a few strands of her hair
falling dramatically into place. She was so scared she wanted to run away and
never return but she clenched her fist and stood strong
nevertheless.
"I'll meet you first." she giggled. "Hi I'm
India."
The demon tried to contort his dribbling maw into a grin,he raised his blade onto his shoulder,he hurdled forward,each step killing a little more of the area,with one massive straining effort he swung the blade downwards.
She crouched down and instead of the beast slicing into flesh, his sword bounced across large metal scales. He looked up in wonder as a large black dragon screamed an agonizing shriek into his direction.
It stepped back,with its sword back onto its shoulder and raised its hand at the dragon,a dark blue light crackling from his fingers,with a maliscous grin he thrust his hand forward sending a surge of poisenous power into the dragons body.Those not in staring at the combat could see something more disturbing,2 more of those creatures had risen from the ground,one sporting a barbed spear and the other carrying a massive rusted axe,too heavy to hold above his knees.
Ardyn roared and
shook off, slamming his full frontal weight into the monster, roaring again,
painfully, a mourning sound that echoed over the city and the
sea.
-----
Dark Messenger and Skye both turned towards the noises
as they heard them.
"It sounds awful."
ProtoX: Oooh, I
hope White-Jet's okay.
T.A.X: Relax, ProtoX. It's not like we left her
back on the Island unprotected. The other Plushiemon must be protecting her
right now.
ProtoX: I hope you're right.
Might was having to
lean on the boat to keep himself supported,"it.....feels awful.....the island is
in so much pain...."
---
The creature bore the brunt of the
attack,losing little ground.
"you cannot win against us....we are
invincible"
The large dragon
pushed the front of his weight, and the size and sheer matter of him, he easily
matched and could take down all three by a simple headbutt...but something...was
wrong. They seemed to be stuck in place...and it was all very odd
"Come
on Ardyn you can do it!!" India cheered to him and then ran back to make sure
Liger, Rock, and San were alright.
She looked at them. "Get out of
Arianna now...go meet the others on the shoreline..."
Liger Zero turned
into his real form as White-Jet and the other plushies hopped on to his back,
Voulnut getting into the cockpit.
White-Jet: Hey, San, need a ride? Hop
on!
San looked up then looked back at India,"alright thanks White-Jet",he hopped up onto Liger.
She nodded and went back, uppercutting the large monster as her guardian re-coiled to gain, or rather protect, more ground.
Once San was on Liger Zero's back, Voulnut pushed the controls forward, allowing him to move away from the arena and towards the docks.
The demons head barely shifted from its position but it seemed to be weakned somewhat,the dark powers coming from the cracks in the ground losing interest without blood shed it was cutting off the power that kept them invincible.The other two however weren`t being held off and had already left the stadium,heading for town.
She blinked in
surprise and looked at her guardian who had now shrunken to the size of a house
cat. She sighed and scooped him up.
"Might...what am I supposed to
do...?"
The ruler of
Arianna however was stuck helpless looking at his island from afar,not knowing
what was happening but he knew it wasn`t good.
---
Despite Arianna
being a city of peace it still had some strength,the two demons met with
resistence,long range snipers riddled their bodies with bullets,but it wasn`t
enough,the fighting had restored their masters interest in
them.
---
"you are to die"
The demon was going to strike
her down,but didn`t want to be outdone by his breathren and ran off after
them.
The boat came ever
closer to the shoreline, and Dark Messenger spotted them before anyone else
did.
"might everyone else is on the shore...."
Skye was on the edge
of the boat, as it began to dock onto the sand she jumped off, ran a short
distance through the water and practically tackle hugged Sanjuro with a soft
cry.
"I'm so glad you're alright!"
San hugged back,not
holding her too tight,he was probably still skating on thin ice with
her.
"I`m glad your alright as well"
He went to run his hand
through her hair but stopped and took a step back,looking over at Cremo,then
back at Skye.
"but things aren`t settled yet,theres still things to be
done"
Everyone got off Liger Zero and he turned back into a Plushie. He then looked in the direction the battle was taking place and kinda growled morbidly.
The demons tried to
bring their weapons to bear on the people of Arianna,but Setsunas rampage had
taught them how to survive,everywhere they went the people were already
gone.
---
Might looked at the new arrivals,"what is going
on?"
India came up
behind them.
"Three large strong demons..." she answered quietly. "one small
poisoned dragon."
Might :
"poisened?"
---
San smirked at Skye weakly and took a look back at
the buildings of Arianna,"..this is gonna be about an hours work"
"Yes the demons got
to him." she shifted Ardyn in her arms. "He'll be fine...I hope...he's a tough
boy and since hes a ntural dark element he'll probably absorb the
poison."
"Dark element?"
"Yes but he's good...its hard to
explain.
Skye pulled away from Sanjuro and regained her
composure.
Might : "its not
that hard,I`m the death element after all,now...how did the demons get
here?"
---
San...as much as he wanted to decided not to push his
luck and looked over at Cremo,"glad to see your okay bro,keeping the home fires
burning?"
