"TEMPEST
BREAKER!!!" Skye sent a massive dark cloud filled with thunder and lightning
spinning into the enemies path. What lightning didn't hit, the razor sharp ends
of the cloud did.
-----
Dark Messenger broke away from the attack
and charged towards the statue.
Might swung his sword in a wide arc,carving himself some elbow room before being rushed off his feet.
Rini put her bow away, to keep arrows on hand. She unshealthed her sword once more, and charged toward the on coming enemies. Three came to meet her on the way and she made a big swing at the one in the center. "Triple Darkness Sword Strike!!" she said and two dark swords came on each side of her to take the attacks on the side. But they didn't last for long and as soon as she took care of the one in the center, she jumped back in time to watch the two swords fade away and the monsters stike each other. "Whew, that was too close." "Don't relax yet." Came a voice from behind then above. A black furry body came down in front of her and stiked a shadow coming at her. "Nice timing." "Ain't no guardian if I don't watch out for ya." "Next we just need to work on your grammer."
ProtoX and T.A.X stood back to back as they faced off against a circle of dark shadows. ProtoX, unsure if this was going to work, activated his Dark Hold attack, putting everything but those of pure heart on suspended animation for a short period of time.
The creatures froze completely all except the strongest which still moved but slower.Might cleaved through his frozen opponents and let out a deep breath,before turning to face the stone,Darkbring,it was the size of a car and its very presence burnt into his soul.He ran towards it,his mind focussed on only it,and he suffered for that,a massive shade brought its full strength down on him,shattering his frail bones into powder,the dark hold slowing down his reformation.
T.A.X: I think it's
working!
ProtoX: Yeah...but how long will it last!? This Dark Hold runs
on conserved energy you know and I've just obtained this ability last month so
we've got about another three hours before it wears off!
T.A.X: That's
about more than I need.
Although seeming slow, T.A.X was still the
fastest reploid in the world, he rushed at the frozen shadows around the two,
his streak slowly visable. Each shadow the streak ran across were trapped in
electricity.
ProtoX could've helped, but because Dark Hold was at Level
one, the only thing he could do was talk. The slightest movement from his joints
would automatically cancel the move and free those trapped in its still
power.
Dark Messenger dashed towards the crystal and went to slam her full weight into it.
Cremo ran over to Medley, who had also been stopped by the Dark Hold. "Well, there's a downside, eh? Explains why he was attacking with such ferocity." He managed to slip the still-warm scimitar out of Medley's hand and turned to join the attack, "Not a bad idea and thanks for the short reprieve, but I'll probably get more use out of this for the moment." With that, he also rushed forward, jumping above the massive army and running along the top, carefully avoiding those shadows that were still active.
Darkbring seemed to dull in colour as the stone felt itself frightened but it could do nothing to prevent the impact which formed a long thin crack in it,but it was still whole.
DM then started slashing and striking at the stone as hard and as fast as she could. Skye joined her and both of them pummeled the stone.
As the marks on it increased it pulsed like a heart and sent Skye and DM back onto the ground forcing them back a good distance.
Just as DM and Skye were sent back, Cremo reached Darkbring, and jammed the scimitar as well into the crack as he could, channelling his energy through it until it was bright red.
The stone exploded into nothing sending a shockwave that knocked everyone off their feet,the shades faded and died within moments of its destruction.
Skye rubbed her
head. "Ohh....ow...."
DM winced and pulled herself up. "We're NOT
fighting on rocks next time."
Skye sighed and sat up, taking off her
helmet and rubbing the back of her head. "Is this it...? It seems to easy to be
over..."
Might finally
reformed and he stood motionless for a few moments before spinning on his heel
and looking back towards his home.
"no it is not over,Darkbring had to
have been summoned and the person who did it...is on
Arianna..."
---
Pang tried to punch a thin pale human carrying a
large book.But as he tried to,time seemed to slow down and he moved like a slug
letting the man easily dodge.He was then flung back like a ragdoll from a single
punch by the man.San took aim with his rolling cutter and threw the blade,the
man caught it and threw it back causing San to duck before being beheaded by his
own weapon.
"people of Arianna,my name is Satoshi,your new
ruler!"
T.A.X and ProtoX
fell to the ground, the Dark Hold fading and what originally was a funky colored
backround was now back to normal.
T.A.X: I hope those shadows don't come
back for a while.
Plushie-Liger Zero looked at the strange person
that bested Rogo and Pang and just sat there, wagging his tail, cocking his head
like a curious cat.
Cremo picked
himself up and pulled down the mask he wore over his mouth during battle. "First
time that's happened with a rock." There was a small whining sound and the
scimitar landed half a foot away with a dull thud. He picked it up and walked
back over to Medley, who was now released. "I think I may have softened it too
much, so it might have lost it's edge."
"Um... thanks, that's fine. What just
happened?"
"I think I killed it, but according to Might there's some
mastermind back in Arianna we need to stop." He sighed, "I hate subterfuge,
there's less fighting it always gives me a headache."
India jumped on top
of Satoshi from above.
"Not on my time!!"
----------
Skye
rubbed her head once more and smiled at Cremo. "I never have seen you in action
before."
Satoshi fell to the
ground,but India was sent flying by a shockwavefrom his body.
"you
fool,how dare you touch me,ME THE GREAT SATOSHI,MASTER OF DARKBRING!"
San
sheathed the rolling cutter and jumped down,grabbing Liger Zero and ran after
India to see how she was.
---
Might : "there is no time for
this,we must get back"
India shook off and charged at him again, uppercutting him one good time.
Cremo grinned,
"what a bleak existance that must have been."
Medley tapped him on the
shoulder. "C'mon, Might's right." Cremo also felt the point of the scimitar
against the small of his back. "And if you touch my medallion again, I promise
you that we shall see just how organic biodroids are inside." Then he turned and
walked back to the boat, holding his head as though he had a headache.
Cremo
glanced at Skye as they followed, somewhat confused, "Well, that was
dissettling."
Satoshis neck gave
a crack and his head was flung back,but he was still living.
"you dare
touch me again,stupid woman"
His hand reached out to her and flung her
across the street with a wall of force.
India moaned gently
and pulled herself up once again.
"If i had stopped getting up after gettin
smashed into walls long long ago I would have been dead by now." she threw an
antimatter orb at him.
-------
Skye swallowed.
"Eeesh...you're
telling me."
Satoshi's neck was
suddenly bound by a neon whip. Rock was standing about a foot away from him,
straining the handle of his X-Whip, hoping this would stall him in enough time
for the orb to strike.
Plushie-Liger Zero wiggled out of San's arms and
turned into his real form, bringing his giant, clawed forefoot down on
Satoshi.
Before the orb or Ligers foot connected Satoshi swapped places with Rock.
India waved her
hand and the orb formed a shield over rock before the foot hit him, causing
little damage. She ran over to him and helped him up.
"Are you
alright!?"
San was about to
ask that but something caught his eye,that was Satoshi teleporting
away.
"dammit"
Liger Zero almost
freaked, falling over and turning back into a plushie the minute he hit the
ground.
Rock: I'll be fine when the room stops spinning... @_@
Rini and Fu Fu got up and dusted themselves of in time to hear Might call everyone back to the boat. At the quicktime, the two walked back onto the boat and awaited departure.
ProtoX and T.A.X looked at each other, shrugged and headed to the boat.
India steadied Rock
and looked at him. "I'm really sorry...I'm just glad you didn't get seriously
hurt."
---------
Dark Messenger sat in the darkest corner of the
boat, looking at nothing in particular as she sat there, seemingly frozen in
place.
Skye shook her head and put a hand on Medleys shoulder. "Are you
okay...?"
Medley looked up. "I'm fine. It's just that this medallion is my only posession, and it's important to me. And he just grabbed it and ran. But now we understand eachother, so he won't do it again. I'm fine."
She sat down beside him. "Well...don't you worry about it..if anything happens to your medallion you have friends who will do anything to get it back for you."
Not having much to
do after the short ambush, White-Jet sat on a boulder and watched Zero and Rock
spare off just to kill time.
She went into her bag of plotholes and
pulled out a green orb. She had bought a weeks supply of it just incase she
needed to use it somehow.
He nodded, "Yup,"
and leaned back against the boat.
Across the boat, Cremo was watching them
and trying to think of something to say to Medley, but he couldn't even tell
exactly what was going on.
Might slowly walked
back to the boat,he lifted his head slowly to see the others but his vision was
distracted.
"...my god.."
A large black stormcloud was forming
above Arianna,the rest of the sky was clear and a lightning bolt struck down
from the heavens,part of the stadium collasping in on itself.
"we must
make haste"
India jumped back
as the bright flash of light emitted by the lightning bolt struck the whole
island. She covered her eyes and shook off.
"Holy shit..." she looked around
to Sanjuro, Liger, and Rock and blinked. "Well...looks like we're in for it
now...come on."
Satoshi fell to his
knees panting for breath some distance from the strike.
"damn the
power...its fading...but darkbring can`t be beaten..grah"
The sparing stopped
as Zero noticed Rock's hands trembling again, which was a bad sign. They had
seen the lightning crash and since that triggered Rock's sixth sence, it meant
that something evil had caused it.
They were nervous at first, but
decided to follow India and see what was going on.
San twisted the
leather strap that kept his rolling cutter to his shoulder and followed after
them.
"wonder where that freak is"
