Journey to the Cave of Neverending Void

OOC: Once again, PLOT SUMMARY! (I'm lazy deal with it)

OOC: For god sakes man, your attention span is worse than mine: at chipmunk level! Hell, even I don't know!

OOC: Until I get my computer completely fixed from vai-res-ies, I'm not going to be online often.

It's been hours since the group hiked in the dark caves. The slanted pathway got steeper as they progressed. It was also getting colder from the looks of Ferzain shivering and huddling his arms to himself. Sentrii seemed just fine about it. The whole group has not encountered any enemies since Ferzain kept ordering everyone to flee from battle. Their journey to reach the cave is finally over now that they reached a huge dead-end with the wall covered in snow.

"AWW FRICK!" the boy exclaimed. "This will take even more hours to cut through this snow! Too bad we can't use fire, or everyone besides Ankokuren would die in the frozen avalanche."

He grabbed out his sword and started digging as if he was using a shovel.

"This will take a while, so heal up guys," said Ferzain. "My father Dexter made the Shooting Star, but he had to hide it away in the mountains to lock away the armor from Yen. Yen became too desperate that he even risked his life from the outside world. If those two are in there, I'm sure they're still breathing air. Plenty of food grow from the vines with the snow as water. Good thing too."

He stopped shoveling and sat down from exhaustion.

"This armor has been nothing but trouble... I wish my dad never forged it. I'm even afraid I'll never see him again. I want to go back to the old days when we drank soup together. I want to help him with business. I want to see his smile one more time.""

OOC:
SUMMARY: Hours went by until they reached a snowy road-block. Ferzain started digging with his sword after telling the group to heal themselves. He stopped, being homesick and wishing he'd see his dad again.

DREAM SEQUENCE:

Na'e was in a field of lilies so yellow that they hurt his eyes. As he stood, a gentle breeze swayed the flowers like a caressing hand. What was he doing here? He thought. More importantly, HOW did he get here? Before he had time to think, he spotted something massive in the distance. It was big, and it was PINK. Instantly, Na'e knew what it was: his mortal enemy, the cupcake.

"ここで何してるの?!??!" Na'e screamed. Na'e stood there for a moment, waiting for the words to sink in. Then he realized that he didn't know what he was saying. Maybe it was some sort of ancient tongue? Before he even had time to think any more, something flaky and sweet flicked into his face. Na'e looked up to see the beast towering over him, blotting out the sun with a great shadow. He shifted backward, surprised at the cupcake's abrupt appearance. A wide grin spread across the monster's face. He wouldn't have time to run. In fact, Na'e wouldn't have time to do anything, except react to whatever the beast was planning.

"最低の!!! ほっといてよ!!!" Na'e screamed again, the frustration finally bursting from him. He didn't care if he was speaking in an ancient, unfamiliar language. He'd had enough of this ANNOYING FIEND. Every single time he dreamed, this THING was always there with him. Na'e summoned the peculiar tingling to surge throughout his arms and body. Instantly, his arms burst into flame.

"私は十分あなたのあったんだ!!!" He roared, charging at the beast. He'd conquered this beast once. He could do it again.

END DREAM SEQUENCE

"AAAGHGHH!!!!!" Na'e screamed, smacking his head against a protruding piece of stone as he abruptly righted himself upward. He yelled in pain as he threw himself backward, then felt an explosion of pain as he smashed his head against the hard stone floor.

"GAHHHH!!!" Na'e roared, pain blasting his mind. He finally stopped himself from moving, and placed a cautious hand on the back of his head. He felt something warm and gooey, and when he took it off, it came off sticky with blood. He placed another hand on his forehead, and it came away with similar results. Na'e sighed, droplets of blood trickling from his forehead. He managed to injure himself, yet again. Harenuah, it would take such a long time to heal.

Na'e gingerly got to his feet, his legs shaking a little. He put a blood-stained hand on the ground and gave himself a light push, just enough to propel him upward. He stood upright for a moment, stumbled a bit, before finally regaining his balance. A pounding headache had replaced the stabbing pain in his head, making Na'e shudder in a mix of annoyance and pain. He looked around, but all the greeted him was the darkness of the cave. He couldn't even see the walls of the sprawling cave. Quickly, Na'e's eyes adjusted to the dim light. The first thing that caught his eye was a massive block of ice blocking the passage in the middle of the hall. As he examined it closer, Na'e found that it was much thicker than anything he or anyone else could manage to make through normal means. This was the work of powerful magic, someone along the lines of the Ninjitsu Lord's power. Worse, it showed no sign of melting anytime soon, and it apparently the others couldn't find a way to remove it.

"Speaking of the others," Na'e thought. Ferzain was busy trying to chip away at the ice with his sword, Kiarraa was muttering something about matches, and Mako, Raikou, and Vincent were busy examining the wall of ice. Then a thought ran through Na'e's mind like a speeding hawk. The idea made total sense.

Ice < Fire

Na'e flicked his hand, and in response, it burst into flames. So the deity wasn't muting him anymore. A tiny grin spread across Na'e's face. The flames crackled and danced around his fingers, wrapping the sides of the cave in a warm, orange light. If this wall of ice was just a wall of ice, it wouldn't be able to withstand a fiery assault. Na'e brought his hand back and snapped it forward, hurling a blazing ball of fire straight at the wall with a little grunt.

The fireball exploded on the wall's surface, as the sound of hissing water filled the cave. Some smoke billowed from the remains of the blow, but it quickly cleared, revealing the wall of ice still glistening against the light of Na'e's fire. There was a small crater indicating where the fireball had hit, but it failed to deal any substantial damage to it. Na'e cursed silently. This wall of ice was the work of a master. Na'e thought it would probably be best to inform the others of this fact.

"This wall is impenetrable. It's sealed by both magical and physical energies: we won't be able to penetrate it anytime soon." Na'e declared.

OOC: Now you guys are TL;DRing too. Cram! You're not alone! :3

Ferzain watched Na'e freak out of nowhere. "Dude, were you stoned or something? NOW I'm sure Ankokuren did something to you."

This was silly because his powers were muted throughout the mountains. Ferzain watched Na'e try to melt the wall.

"WAIT-" he exclaimed before Na'e pressed the wall with his blazing hand. Nothing happened.

"This wall is impenetrable. It's sealed by both magical and physical energies: we won't be able to penetrate it anytime soon," was Na'e's response to the snowy wall.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?" Kiarraa freaked out.

Ferzain shook his hands, "Hey hey! What makes you think this wall is impenetrable?"

He started to dig through the hard snow again, "I don't think it's magic, because this place snowed like crazy throughout the past five years. There's about ten feet of snow in front of us. Besides, if we just melt the snow, we'll all either drown or die from an avalanche."

The sky-haired Mage started helping Ferzain by covering her hands with claws of ice and started slashing at the wall next to him. "You guys want to help? We just put aside two feet of snow."

OOC: I know it's a pain in the ass .sickling., but leave a summary to Cram starting now, k? Everyone wait a couple of more posts until we get to the final battle / ending.

OOC: Metgaming? I don't know what that means, so I guess I am. Sorry, I totally forgot that Raikou lived in the mountain. Besides, most of you have a tendency to just break the wall without time for our characters to chat. I'm just building dramatic pauses, don't mind me.

OOC: We haven't even made a sizable dent in the wall of ice yet. Don't go accusing us of breaking (lol, get it?) your precious plot devices.

Besides, you're the one that wanted to speed this RP up, anyway.

"Lemme try something!"

Mako took a red pendant and slammed it against the wall.



But only a little bit of the ice melted.

"Whats this stuff made of?!"

As Mako got pissed at the wall, Vincent was looking at everyone with unsatisfactory. Ferzain knew it's a bad idea to talk to him since he knew he's a burden to some people. Come to think of it, no one had to come along with him. Everyone had a motive to be with him: Na'e wanted to make it up to him, Mako and Ankokuren just wants the armor, Vincent just wanted Raikou to cooperate, Raikou, Adelle and Kiarraa is just there, and Sentrii was offered help from Ferzain himself.

Enough about that, Ferzain started jabbing the wall before slumping.

"It's no use," he whispered. The echoes made his voice loud enough for everyone to hear. "This wall is too strong."

He sat down in lost hope. Sentrii walked right next to him and pulled him back to his feel.

"So you're saying that we should all turn back and pretend none of this even happened?" she assumed.

Ferzain glared at Ankokuren, knowing his consequence if he stopped his journey here. Hell, ending this journey could also end his life.

"I'm going to try one more time, guys."

He walked over to the wall while everyone backed away. Ferzain then checked his bag and put on some leather gloves. The water-bender looked at him as Ferzain started smearing his hands onto the wall. The whole place was silent as he kept going. Realizing that everyone who contributed helping Ferzain all together created a huge crack on the wall that was covered in snow.

"So there was a wall after all..."

Sentrii saw Raikou wincing in pain. She knew all she could do was to heal her knuckles. She walked over to Raikou and grabbed her hands. She focused on applying mana from her hands into the fighter's hands.

"There," she said. She didn't want to bother about the "other" bleeding area, so she walked towards the backed group and left it at that.

He then stabbed his blade into the cracks and shoved his blade further in. The cracks began to spread at rapid. The snapping stopped once they hit the edges of the side of the room. The entire wall shattered into tiny fragments of crystal ice, covering snow on whoever was close to the wall. Ferzain was seen as a snowman.

"Wow that's cold..."

Beyond the huge exit was a blazing blizzard with another cave at the highest peak of the mountain. However, the entrance was covered by blue energy with unique patterns on it. The boy shook off the snow.

"Guys," he reminded, "I know a way out of the Cave of Neverending Void. However, I can only do it once." He held out his blade, "This is actually a key to temporary unlock the exit of the Void. It'll only stay opened for a few minutes. You better have one million gold to bail out any of us stuck in there, because making a key to withhold powerful barriers takes decades."

He started walking, "Turn back now if you still have a life or existence."

OOC: In other words, anyone who wants to stop or can't RPing can just spectate. This is not going to be a "beat-em-up" battle. It's more like a loosing battle. However, I can make it a fighting battle if you wish. (Though I'm not holding a poll.)

OOC: sorry i haven't been able to post recently, things have been kinda hectic lately and i have my robotics competition going on this week from thursday-saturday

Adelle and Kaoru watched as Ferzain opened up the wall of ice that had been blocking the path. Kaoru was finally able to dissipate the armor he had made because apparently Ankokuren had stopped being an annoying piece of you know what. He finally stopped sweating from the enchanted armor.

"Hey Adelle," Kaoru said.

"Yah?"

"I'm kinda cold now..."

The two started laughing and Adelle gave him a little nudge.

"You know if you wanna leave, you can go now."

Kaoru replied, "Where would I go? Everyone we know is dead. I'm the only one who survived from our village..."

"Yah..."

Adelle got up and helped up Kaoru. He was still hurt from being stabbed by the icicles and he put his arm around her shoulder. He limped over to the opening with Adelle's help and said enthusiastically, "I'm not goin anywhere! Well, the cave place I guess but...uh ...you know what I mean..."

Kaoru decided to stop talking while he was ahead.

Summary: Adelle and Kaoru have a "Family Moment" and decide to stay with the group.

Ankokuren took a few steps toward the passage in the wall and shoved a hand into Ferzain's side, pushing the human into the wall of the cave with a meaty thump. After hearing the Ferzain's previous comment, Ankokuren knew that pretty much everyone in the cave was pretty much blinded by the mortal myths that confused even those who had great knowledge of the cave. He laughed a little inside, the fake snow crunching under his feet as he walked.

First of all, snow did not exist in the mountains. It was a byproduct of the star shard's energy, otherwise known as salt. At least the girl who was smearing it all over herself was doing a good thing.

Secondly, the wall of "ice" was not even salt or anything remotely related to ice. The Na'e human, was correct at one point. It was, in fact, a barrier of very powerful magic. When Ferzain jammed his sword into the crack of the wall, nobody noticed Ankokuren give a small flick of his wrist in the corner. Ankokuren really could have just crushed the barrier himself, as with Baihukourei, but he found it so much more INTERESTING to see the humans struggle against it. But, alas, eventually, it got boring.

Thirdly, there would be no need to possess 1,000,000 million pieces of gold (what pitiful currency, anyway) just to free them. Ankokuren knew that his power greatly outmatched whatever barrier in the caves could withstand.

And lastly, the deity had much more devious plans up his sleeve. The humans probably suspected it by now, but what could they do? Chip away at him with their swords and magic? Ankokuren was beginning to enjoy the power that the human form gave him. Ankokuren walked through the giant crack in the wall and found a massive cavern on the other side, a howling blizzard encased within in it like a snowglobe. When the deity looked up, instead of the sky, was a ceiling coated with a teal layer of the "snow". The deity continued walking. Suddenly, an abrupt outburst of power caught the deity's senses. Ankokuren instantly stopped his stride, the flecks of "snow" pelting his face. Ankokuren, with his human eyes, could make out a faded silhouette in the distance, but the blizzard ultimately obstructed his vision. Then a sudden whiplash of energy knocked the deity off his feet. His body crashed into the salt.

"YOU THERE!!!!" A voice boomed, filling the entire cavern.

SUMMARY: Anko doesn't care, so he walks through. Yes, I know this post sucks.

BOSS BATTLE

OOC:

ATTENTION!!!

Void has been put temporarily on hold. It will not continue until Drag3ndz continues the story (it's his final boss).

OOC: .sickling. stop power-modding! I liked the fact that the armor made that fake snow, but you had to ruin my achievement at the wall thing, huh? Not cool. |=(

Once the group entered through the barrier, Ferzain looked as there was a small entrance while the area they are now is only protected by a roof. The edges of the ceiling had the barrier cover like a see-through wall. Wow, it still gives you the feeling that they're still outside.

"YOU THERE!!!!" a voice burst out. The boy checked in front of him. Some random guy was lying onto the ground, looking as if he was about to be nothing but a pile of snow. He was freezing to death. Ferzain rushed over to him, grabbing out any clothing he has and gave it to the stranger.

"T-thank y-you k-k-kindlllly, s-sirrr," he studdered.

Ferzain held onto him to try to keep him warm, "Hey! Don't die on me man!"

The stranger slipped from the boy's grasp, "I'll b-be fine..."

"Have you seen anyone in here?" Ferzain questioned.

"I saw something glimmer in that room," he said after pointing the hole in the wall. "I don't want to get near there. I looked, but there's still no exit! I've been stranded in here for five days. I just wanted the armor, is all!"

Sentrii ran near the guy, "I'll stay here and help him live. You guys can go ahead."

Ferzain nodded. He stood up and started walking into the room. "I can get you out of here," he told the traveler," but I can only do it once. I'm not leaving until I finish my business here."

And with that, he went in along with his fearless allies.



It was cold and dark. The entire place felt like it haven't aged. In the center lies the cold dark armor with horns on its helmet. The jagged spikes on the gauntlets and boots made Ferzain flinch. The torso looked so powerful that it even made Ferzain thought it lived up to its name. The lower layer of the torso were in chain mail that reflects the starry skies. What's really awkward was that this armor was in ice, locked in a crystal for eight years. Right in the center was a skeleton with a sword impaled in the rib cage. The innocent child felt cold waters on his face.

"Oh father... FATHER!"

He ran towards the aged bones and kneel down to his legs.

"Dad... I thought you'd be still alive... Why did you leave me?!"

He pounded his fist to the ground with hell overwhelming his emotions.

"...Daddy..."

The entire room regained the presence of flow. Time in that room was finally moving again. Red lights beamed out of the armor's eyes as the frozen cage surrounding the being started cracking. Ferzain looked above with fright once the glass shattered before the mighty knight.

"You must be Ferzain Jik," the distorted voice echoed throughout the battlefield. Ferzain brought out his sword with preperation to attack.

"HOW COULD YOU KILL MY DAD! YOU GOT YOUR DAMN ARMOR!" His tears has stopped once Ferzain showed no fear.

"Your... father?" the darkness knight responded. Your "father" is not the slayed man before you."

The boy looked back at the skeleton. "He's not my dad? Then..." He returned his face to the invincible man, "Where is my dad?!"

The suit of armor started walking towards him as he unsheathes his blade. "He came and did what has to be done. But of his current presence is of no matter. I have found a worthy battle after eight years of waiting."

As the man in armor came closer, Ferzain backed away to his group. The dark armor raised his hands to cover the gate with another one-way barrier. Ferzain didn't panic since this barrier is small enough to be broken just by using the most powerful blows within his group. The big barrier outside the battleground is a different story.

"You're not going to win, Yen!" he taunted.

"Yen?" the monster repeated from Ferzain's words. "That nobody was dead when I existed. He may be powerful, but my armor thrives on. I am Zenex the Invincible Darkness Knight! You WILL battle me!"

OOC:

Mako drew his blade and grinned with a nigh insane look in his eyes.

"The power that this guy gives off...It's ridiculous!"

"Finally! I've been waiting for someone to battle...Someone who's power opposes mine..."

He turned his piercing gaze at the dark knight.

"I hope you can USE that sword Zenex"

Mako said the name with a tone of both disgust and joy.


OOC: Hooray! Now we shall see who is better!

OOC: While I'm in OOC, I'm going to point out a couple of things:
- I could have thrown in a joke about the guy being stuck in the cave as a shop owner to prepare for the final battle. Seeing as I don't want to have any similarity with Shakespeare's humor-after-tragedy, I scrapped it.
- I made a typo on the knight's name in the summary. His name is spelled Zenex. I guess I rushed the summary too fast that even I didn't notice.
- VVO-obsessor: My RP is not FAIL! (; ^ ;) I got hacked by a virus mind you! Plus, I just got rusty from not RPing for a long time.
- .sickling. (Yes I'm blaming him.) is technically the Lore creator of Isiya if any of you haven't noticed. Outside of this RP is out of my world, or control.
- Some users have a tendency to overrule me. Example: someone wants to put off the main quest into a side quest. Normally, I recommend others to take this outside of this RP, but I just don't have the guts to do so.
- Which reminds me about .sickling.'s post after this one: Ferzain took a vacation here and actually went with his dad beyond terrain. It's like when you'd ditch your class in a museum and explore elsewhere. That is a similar case. I thought I clarified that Ferzain went there when he was young. And Cram would say, "Stop TS;DRing me!

OOC: Metagaming is when the character knows something he/she shouldn't know, normally or imbuing them with out-of-character-like powers.

OOC: Don't quote a big post btw. I edited my OOC.
But still, not cool. |=[

Ankokuren grinned, as he climbed to his feet. Zenex, the Invincible Darkness Knight? Oh, the names mortals gave to themselves these days. They really were quite entertaining. He had never heard of this person before, or had even felt his power until now. Utter power simply leaked from the armor's pores, and Ankokuren could drink it all in. The armor itself, appeared quite threatening. Countless spikes and spines lined the entire armor, which itself was pitch-black. A gruesome heart was implanted straight in the middle of the man's chest, and it made a disgusting noise as it throbbed sickeningly, pulsing energy through the arteries streaming across Zenex's body. But there was something else about the man that troubled Ankokuren, a deity. A curious aura surrounded the man, one that managed to send a shiver down the deity's spine. Surely, it wasn't fear, was it? Ankokuren despised the idea.

"Human or not, I accept your challenge, you pathetic imbecile." Ankokuren spat, stepping forward. The "snow" crunched under his footsteps. The blizzard continued to howl through the cavern eerily. The deity flexed his fingers, and in response, a massive, vicious blade protruded from his right wrist, leaking darkness as it heeded its call.

"Tell me where my dad is!" he cried to the knight.

However, his words bounced off like plastic toy balls hitting the wall. The knight started running. Normally you'd expect this guy to be slow, but that's your opinion. He made it to Ferzain from across the room withing a quick second. Ferzain brought his sword in front and started fending off the powerful knight. Only deflecting a few blows, one strike sent him flying to the ground and slamming onto the edge of a room.

He got up slowly, "DAMN that's fas-"

Zenex sliced him from his left and slammed him down to the ground. "Pitful weakling! You disgrace the meaning of strength and skill!"

"That was a cheap shot first of all," Ferzain complained. "Second, I want to know what happened to my dad! Tell me where Dexter went!"

Losing hope on the boy, Zenex switched targets to the most powerful looking warrior, Mako. He lunged across the room, readily prepared to impale him with his large blade.

Ferzain, at one hand, raised his arms. "Hey! Need a little help getting up!"

"If you can talk you can fight!" Mako rushed to the knight as fast as he could. As his blade swung out , the knight blocked it as if it were not steel, but a large feather. Zenex brought his blade down on Mako, and Mako, reacting as quick as he could, bareley blocked it, the shockwave forcing him on the ground. "Damn! He IS fast!" Mako thrust his fist at the knight's chest plate and fired an short, but intense blast of energy. The knight stumbled back. "You're not the only one who's fast Zenex!"

Adelle formed some armor for herself that would protect her without restricting movement and made some swords. She stood along the side trying to find how they would even hurt this... thing. Was it even human? Or alive for that matter? She tried to stay away from the others, running nimbly around the cave, trying to identify a weak spot in the foe's armor.

**************************************

Kaoru, on the other hand, ran over to Ferzain who had been slashed by the being and couldn't get up.

"Don't move." He said. He formed a sword and placed it over Ferzain's chest. He infused it with healing magic and slahed the sword along Ferzain's wound. Instead of cutting him, it healed the wound. Not completely, but enough to seal up the wound, prevent blood loss, and stop his BP from dropping. He replaced the healing spell in his weapon with fire magic. He formed himself armor and a strong shield.

He advanced toward where Mako and the Dark Knight were and held his sword up.

"I don't want to be stuck in here forever and if I had to guess, you're stopping us from getting out." He fell back into a universal stance which would al;low him to head in any direction to either attack or dodge. He adjusted the grip on his sword as it crackled with blue white flames.

The downed fighter pushed himself off the floor, his blade ready for self-defense. The battle rages on with Zenex swiping his shell where Mako shot his energy at him.

"Bah," he responded, "You are indeed better than your injured ally, but you are no different for all the warriors that dares strike me down!"

He placed his armored hand with mana flowing into the ground. Three ice shockwaves slithered from his hands and chased Mako like cheetahs. If Mako dared jumped, they would bounce off the ground and wrapped Mako from his foot to his legs. This gave the opportunity for Zenex to spot both Adelle and Kaoru covered in mana of armor and shield.

"Mana wielders? This should provide my satisfaction."

He brought over his buster blade and aimed at them. When he got close, he would slide past them and attack both of them from behind.

Ferzain, finally standing, tried to have the others heed his orders, "Raikou! Vncent! Na'e! Kiarraa! Do something! At least Ankokuren is prepared to strike back!"

OOC: Oh yeah, I am allowing you to control Zenex the Invincible Darkness Knight. However, I will forbid getting him killed, having any of his armor taken off, or have him speak under your control. Don't make him looks stupid please and thank you. Happy smashing!

OOC: Uh... Adelle and Kaoru are on seperate sides of the cave and also you wrote "Ferzain, finally standing, tried to have the others head his orders" it's actually heed not head

Kaoru watched as the lumbering knight slid past him and nearly got his back. It was a good thing he used this exact stance or else he would be dead. He decided to do something drastic. He actually lunged backward toward the Dark Knight so that the sword wouldn't hit him and attempted to follow up with a quick, strong strike with his flaming-blue sword.

The knight instead also lunged, but he lunged toward Kaoru and the spikes from his armor went straight through the armor Kaoru made. The knight then smacked him away with the side of his sword and Kaoru flew across the room, crashing into a wall. He coughed up blood and stood up again. He quickly sealed the wound with a bit of magic and tried something else he had tried to perfect.

FLASHBACK

Kaoru stood about 10 feet away from the dummy he had made from straw and other materials. He shaped the mana around the dummy into a spike that protruded through it and threw his sword at the base of the mana. He had infused the sword with raw energy from himself and when it flew through the mana, it solidified ionto a wicked spike that impaled the dummy.

"Kaoru! When will you help me do that!" Adelle yelled in frustration. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't manacraft as well as Kaoru could.

"Ha! Just give up big sis! This is my move!" he laughed.

END FLASHBACK

Kaoru shaped the mana around the knight into a spike that stuck through him and infused his sword with pure energy. He threw the sword with all his might and when it flew through, the mana solidified into a wicked spike that impaled the knight... or so he thought.

The knight's armor stopped the spike right in front of it without doing so much as scratching it. The knight smashed the spike with a gauntleted hand and the spike flew back at Kaoru.

Kaoru tried to jump out of the way but it flew too fast and he couldn't dissipate it in time. The mana-spike stabbed through his shoulder and stuck there. Kaoru knew that if he dissipated it, he would bleed out too fast and no amount of healing magic could keep him from dying once pulled out. He dropped to his knees and winced in pain, unable to do a damn thing about it.

Adelle was on the opposite side of the cave when this happened and she started running straight across, even though she would have to pass the knight. She didn't care. She just kept on running to her brother.

OOC: Sorry abut the "heed" typo. All we need is .sickling., VVO-obsessor, and Tigga to post. GOD YOU GUYS! here's a battle talking place here ya know! I'm warning you, I'm not ending this battle until everyone gets their fair share of fighting.

"...Tell me that was not your best attack," was his questioning of pity.

However, Ferzain marked his run with his blade straight forward. "Tell me where my dad went!"

CLASH! His and Zenex's blade collided. They both stared at each other, trying to push one another. However, this all felt familiar. Zenex broke the competition by swinging his blade upwards to fling Ferzain off balance. The boy stumbled backwards before getting attacked by the knight's shockwave he sent to the ground with his sword. The entire room shook, making everyone standing loose balance and falling over.

Mako Looked up from the ground and sprang forward at the dark knight.

Mako charged the blade and slashed as hard as he could.

A crescent of energy zoomed towards the knight.

"Gotcha now!"

The knight put up his blade and slashed downwards. Mako's slash was cancelled out immediately.

He used the smoke to his advantage and ran forward at full velocity, he took a heavy slash at the knight who promptly blocked it as if Mako was moving in slow motion.

The two pushed at eachother relentlessly, unable to overpower the other.

"SOMEONE DO SOMETHING! I CAN'T DO THIS MUCH LONGER!!!

OOC: Zenex's SPD has decreased!

OOC: HEY! YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO- Ahh fine. It was unfair enough that he was too fast. But you guys still didn't dealt a blow, got it? I will repeat: He's invincible. He won't go down until I say so and I'll say so when VVO, .sickling., and Tigga freakin post! WHY ARE THEY NOT POSTING?!

Ferzain hesitated and took his time to collect their situation. The battle rages on as the knight got slower each time Kiarraa attacked him with dark spheres. Come to think of it, when did she got that power and why did she not use it earlier? Zenex indeed slowed down, but getting hit in the ankle was no problem for him. However, he's only pissed about having his speed reduced dramatically. Now, he's just as fast as everyone else, mostly Ferzain's though.

"IMPUDENT WENCH!" Zenex exclaimed, swinging his heavy wrist towards Kiarraa and knocking her towards Ferzain.

The two crashed into each other. Kiarraa was lucky for Ferzain to be her fall-breaker. Ferzain, on the other hand, was feeling worse. "Owwww...."

Mako slid in front of the two and once again rushed the knight. With Zenex's speed slowed down significantly, he might be able to land a blow or two. He sent a white, hot, ball of energy at the knight and ran behind it ready to attack his weakened defenses.

Kaoru was unable to do anything as of now. For one, he was pretty weak to begin with. And number two, HE HAD A FREAKIN 2 FOOT SPIKE STICKIN OUT OF HIS ARM! And surpise surprise! It hurt. He decided to cast a couble spells he practiced but never used because he would use them to infuse his weapons with normally but as of now, he wouldn't be doing any physical fighting anytime soon.

Kaoru stood up and pulled mana into his body as fuel for his spell. When the Invincible Dark Knight had his back turned, he let loose his spell straight at him. He held his hands out in front of him and a shockwave went blasting right at the Knight in blackened armor.

******************************************

Adelle had gone up to Kaoru and tried to help him but was promptly turned away. Instead he began to use an offensive spell to attack. She stayed near him to guard him or pull him away if the knight tried to strike back which he most likely would.

Adelle said, "Kaoru! watch yourself for a bit!" and she dashed toward the knight. She dissipated one of her swords and formed a shield because she would definetely need it. She was faster, stronger, and smarter than Kaoru but not as skilled in magic but she used her physical benefits whenever possible. She lunged forward with a burst of power and brought her sword down onto the knight's armored back hoping to at least scratch it but not even that happened. In fact, nothing happened. The knight did turn around for a second though in an attempt to strike back but Adelle had already lunged backward and was throwing shuriken at him just to piss him off. Maybe while that tiger thing and she was distracting the knight, someone stronger/more skilled could step in.

Kaoru limped away from the fight into a recess in the cave where it would be hard to spot him so that he could take the spike out of his shoulder. he enchanted his armor with healing magic so that it would continually heal him as he pulled out the spike. Everything was going well so far. He had gotten the spike halfway out but now was the dangerous part. He would be almost completely vulnerable to attacks unless he let go of the spike, stopped healing, and formed some sort of defense but if he did that, his wound would open and he would spill a huge amount of his blood on the floor. He prayed that the knight wasn't a noob that would kick him while he was down.

SUMMARY FOR LAZY PEEPS: Adelle attacks zenex, jumps away, and is attempting to piss him off by throwing shuriken at him. Kaoru hides in a recessed part of the cave and tries to heal his wound. He is vulnerable to attack now. Very vulnerable.

OOC: Yayz! Now that leaves .sickling. and Tigga! If I have to, I will skip Tigga. ;_;

Holding his blade, the sword fighter backed up Kaoru by attempting to block the knight from him. The knight grunted.

"You honestly think I'd attack an injured dog?" he questioned Ferzain and Kaoru, "Preposterous."

His attention went to Baihukourei. "You honestly think you can distract me? I am invincible. I don't have to pay attention to animals that bite and run away."

He noticed Ankokuren had a blade made of shadow. "I'm hoping you will bring your best." he notified him before he makes his slow run towards him. While he's at it, he spread his hand and aimed at the lightning deity and shot at with his frozen magic, causing crystallized lightning to wrap the tiger. Now lightning can beat ice and water, but this was different. Can his magic even be considered real? Zenex's blade went high above its wielder and fall before the deity of darkness himself.

Ankokuren dashed forward at a godlike speed and met Zenex's blow with equal force. The clang of crashing metal filled the cavern. The blade of shadow crackled and fizzed against Zenex's vicious blade, as both blades were repelled. Ankokuren flipped backward and came to a skidding halt. This Zenex was quite powerful indeed, strong enough to parry one of his blows. Now, at least he had a challenge other than quarreling with Baihukourei. Ankokuren grinned, standing up straight. Zenex appeared motionless, as both combatants eyed the other's next move. The blizzard in the cave began to intensify, filling the air with thick whiteness.

"If you're not going to come, then I will." Ankokuren muttered, flying forward. He spun around to maximize his leverage and smashed his blade against Zenex. Something exploded, and a brilliant shockwave emanated from the blow, knocking the deity straight off his feet and several feet backward. And Zenex had not even moved an inch.

"I see that even gods have no brains," Zenex cackled softly, his ethereal voice seeming to emanate from nowhere. Ankokuren grumbled, shaking his head as he climbed to his feet. Zenex had the means to repel all of his attacks. If certainly, a deity could not even make a mark on the wielder of the legendary armor, surely, no one will. Before he had time to think any further, Zenex abruptly lashed his hand forward, something shooting from his hand. Ankokuren focused, and promptly summoned up a wall of his own energy in response. Zenex's bluish-white bolt crashed into the wall momentarily, before smashing right through and hitting Ankokuren straight on.

Ankokuren's eyes widened in shock. He could feel that he was in the air, as mortal pain erupted throughout his body. The deity finally came to a painful landing with a sickening thump, before realizing that he could not move. He looked down, and saw that nothing seemed to be holding him. Ankokuren struggled with all of his strength against the invisible binds, and quickly gave up. He was defeated.

OOC: Na'e will come later >.>

OOC: What "Not have him speak under your control" does that imply to you?

OOC: That means he's going after Ankokuren. Sorry for not making that straight.

More OOC: Do I sound like a jackass right now? I'm really trying not to.

OOC: It would be odd if he didn't talk. Plus, I tried to make him sound as badass as possible. ):

OOC: Well... You're lucky because welll- I'll let it slide. Just don't do that again, it's not right to control other people without permission in the RP world outside this forum. =\ Now Tigga posts or I'm gonna pretend he's idle or not in the cave at all.
