RP:The Rescue of Satoru
Fountain of Corruption
As you walks into the area, the fountain seems distant, black shadows and a thick fog surround you quickly, the old fountain is still seen but its different, the old mermaid holding a shell appears to be headless, and the offering seems to be a severed head of dwarven descendent. Above the fountain is thick purple and red clouds, the angry clouds roll with thunder and fill the skys with lightning over head, at times a Large Glowing dragon can be seen over head. The marble fountain is cracked in some areas and leaks with the new blood from the town well; The marble fountain has a few more letters etched into it base, fog thickens so the letters are hard to make out all that can be seen is its original ‘D’ and an emblem of chaos, another Chaos shard is found upon the ground, seeming to be the source of the destruction upon Xalious.
Alphonz stood in the middle of a massive runic display. Five different spots had been marked out. One for each of the travelers making this trip. In one he would direct Myth to place the slave. In the other was where the gate would open if everything was correct. Al merely stood there naked from the waist up. The runes paintss onto his body gave a sadistic glow to the unnatural place. Looking more closely at the spots each peraon would stand in would reveal several items. Ranging from daggers to specific herbs that would need to be burned at the proper moment. With one final look around the fox gave a sigh of...accomplishment. Now it was merely time to wait and prepare himself for the hell he was moments away from inflicting upon himself.
Misaki has arrived! Her wings were missing though... she looked almost human. Then you notice the small birthmark on her back, that was the exactly shape of her wings... just two shades darker than the surrounding skin. Misaki had her wings hidden for a reason, it seems. The first thing she noticed was Al, surrounded by odd items. "...is this all to create the portal?" she asked as she approached. Attached to her hip was a foot-long blade of shiny white metal. Or so it seemed. You look closer and you realize it was bone. With tiny engravings up and down the blade.
Chakor walked towards his fellow travelers at the fountain. His eyes squinted and focused on the illusionist behind all of his recent problems. Alphonz would pay for what he did but now was not the time for revenge. Right now the elf had to be ready to deal with the tormented sight of the Nightmare Realm. Tucked inside his vest was a small black dagger with strange markings on it. The gladiator had hoped there would never be a day when he would have to use this item again. As the elf grew closer he offered a friendly nod to Misaki and Mythayus.
Mythayus took the chain leash and walked the minotaur to it's spot. He offered a smile to Misaki and Chakor. He looked to Al waiting for the next instruction. He was dawned in his dawn black armor, Complete with helmet. His tattered shield on his right arm, he was ready for what ever was going to happen.
Alphonz slowly turned to stare at the now comers."Welcome Misaki, Myth, murderer. And yes its all needed. " Quickly striding across the display the kitsune would first take the leash.Next he'd tie it to the geound forcing the beast onto the ground.Turning his eyes swept over the group again."Does any one have heavily enchanted items? " Dumb question he knew but he had to know. " Any one afraid to spill there own blood? And last but not least once the gate opens proceed directly through do not gawk do not stare just go through I don't know how long I can sustain it for."
Misaki nods one. The only enchantment I have is my wings," he said, "which I can use to boost the power if needed." She patted her balde. "And this. Though the enchantment is only to make sure the bone doesn't break." She then nodded to Chakor and Myth. "I'm glad you could both make it," she said with a smile.
Chakor’s fist clenched as the kitsune spoke. Oh how he wanted to rip the atrocious wizard’s throat out but alas, that’s not why he was here. With a deadpan tone the elf answered the question “Nope, left my enchanted rings at home today.” Truth was that the dagger he had stashed away was far beyond enchanted but there was no need to let this deceiver know that. “As for the blood, Are you sure you haven’t spilt enough of it over the past few days?” the elf answered with venom in his words.
Mythayus shook his head, "Not that i'm aware of. As far as blood goes take as much as you need." Trying to ignore the clear tention that was building.
Alphonz gave a small chuckle at the words everyone spoke. " Alright But be warned I have to compensate for the magical surges they will cause...If I don't well we can say it won't be pretty.And murderer if it was my call I'd bleed you dry for amusements sake. " Turning the kitsune grabbed a bowl from the ground it was a mixture of blood and ink. " Alright misaki first. Then Myth and since wolf boy didn't bring anything I'll let the magical gate blow him to pieces... .Quickly now." As theys come forward the kitsune would etch a couple runes along the items just to suppress them for a moment.
Misaki stepped into the circle, drawing her dagger to gently cut her palm. Blood flowed, trickling onto the ground. "...do we need to keep the wounds open?" she asked as she watch Al place runes on her weapon, "or should I heal everyone's before we go through?" Though she wouldn't be able to heal her own. Because her magic is stupid like that.
Chakor clenched his fist tight and broke the skin. With a rude smile he remarks “I don’t need a knife. You need my blood, here it is wretch.” The elf extended his hand and let the blood drip into the bowl. He had a few ideas in mind as to how he was going to deal with the nightmare realm but was still unsure as to which one he should go with.
Mythayus unsheathed his sword and cut his right hand. He left his blood flow. He let out a sigh, and looked around to his companions. He waited for next collection of events to happen.
Alphonz quickly went through the start of the ritual with all the blood gathered onto the rune scheme he stood beside the beast starting to chant lowly under his breath. Quickly the runes drank the blood pulling more and more from them. Was it just a trap? No with a flourish of his hands the kitsune shredded the beasts neck letting the blood rush from its dying body. Stepping forward the kitsune slashed his wrist adding his own blood to the rune work. "Misaki boost me" The ground starts to shake as the kitsune summoned far to much magic.
Misaki clapped her hands together, not even thinking. Her wings exploded from her back in a torrent of feathers. Misaki all at once, started to glow with an otherworldly light. All of the feathers were sucked into Al's body as she added her strength to his. Misaki's irises and pupil were gone... and her hair had escaped the braid it was in, giving her a wild, untamed looks. ....it was kind of sexy.
Chakor’s eyes opens wide as Misaki began to glow. It was a terrifying and yet awe-inspiring sight. The elf braced himself for when the portal was opened. Once that happened, all hell would likely break loose.
Mythayus prepared himself for whatever was about to happen. He had never seen anything to with 'nightmare realm.'
Alphonz gave a primevil scream of pain and rage as the magi centered around his hands. aA shimmer of light appeared at the empty spot. Quickly he sink his hands into the light with a mighty ripping motion a hole appeared through the hole was just blackness.With another pain filled scream he forced the hole wider and wider.The smell of burning flesh wafted off the fox as the magic burned through him. Blood started to pour from his nose then his ears finally from his eyes.But he had todn the hole open." In in in hurry." The kitsune was already shaking the strain was almost too much for his body.
The Nightmare Realm
As you step through the portal, you notice how horribly off this realm is. There was... no life. No grass. The trees were glittering granite. And there was no sun. A you walked across the shining diamond desert you come across the first sign of life – a small village of thirty or so buildings, some bigger, some smaller. As you walk through this village, eyes of starving young children follow you. The adults scurry around the buildings, as if frightened by your presence. That's when you realize... it's not you they're scared of. They're scared of their own shadow. As if something will pop out of it. But then again... something just might.
Misaki dove into the portal without a second thought. At firt, everything was blak... there was no sun in Akumukokudo. As her eyes adjuted to the darkness, she could see Al and Chakor would have a bit of a problem. Al had opened the protal in the sky, with a 10000 foot drop. The land below wasn't very pretty, either... it was a glittering desert dotted with a ew trees as white as tone. Shadows enveloped everything, giving off an evil looked. Directly below where Misaki was falling, was a village. For lack of a better term. A few fires dotted the landscape of maybe thirty, forty homes with tiny pinpricks of flesh that were people walking around. Misaki narrowed her eyes, diving like a bird of prey as she dropped from the sky. About 500 feet above the ground, she spread her wings, gliding the rest of the way down, landing by the largest fire, where several people had gathered... at the head of them, Satoru. Satoru had changed... his hair was short, his eyes were back and gray now instead of blue. And he wore a plain leather tunic with white leggings. "Misaki," Satoru enveloped the avian in a hug, "It's good to see you." Misaki smirked a little. "...so," she aid, "what did I miss?"
Chakor plummeted toward the barren landscape. As he fell the elf focused his rage and was able to induce a lycan shift. He hit the ground on all fours with a loud thwomp. Shaking his head violently for a moment he was able to phase back into his normal elf form. Good to know that he had that under control. His lessons with the Leader of The Great Pack had paid off. The gladiator dusts himself off and walks over to Satoru, giving him a hug. “Sorry that I forgot the whiskey and women old friend.”
Mythayus closed eyes and let himself fall in to the portal. He let himself half warp so his wings were out. He held them out slowing his decent. He landed gracefully and joined misaki and chakor.
Alphonz wasn't nearly as lucky due to chakors sagger the gate was thrown off hurtling Al higher into the air. Al spent a totalt of five minutes dropping from the sky by the time he came back into view he was cursing and promising very...colorful ways to murder chakor or myrhayus which ever had the item. AL's landing wasn't pretty nor was it fancy he hit back first slamming into the ground with a dull womp. Looking up the kitsune turned his gaze to the small group. His body was twisted at odd angles from the impact and he seemed mere moments from blacking out." I'm going to kill you. " And with that the kitsune passed out from pain.
Misaki frowned, pulling out of Satoru's embrace to kneel next to Al to heal him. Satoru accepted the hug from the lycan. "Eh, I'll live," he replied, then extended his hand to Mythayus. "I am Satoru," he said, "Misaki's weapon partner... and her father."
Chakor stifled a big laugh. He had seen Satoru drunkenly hit on Misaki before so this made those moments even more hysterical. “Well... That’s an interesting development.” The elf looked around him at the vast desert stretching out in all directions. “So whats the damage that’s been done?” The warrior was itching for a fight.
Mythayus paused in shock. He had thought everything completely wrong. He shook his hand out of reflex. He was processing the information. "Mythayus" He looks around at the area
Alphonz gave a choking sound as he came back around. Audible pops and groans escaped his body as it righted itself. The moment his eyes snapped open he looked at misaki. " i'm going to kill one of them. " he leaned to the side spitting blood onto the ground. Then let his eyes take in the others of the group." See I wasn't to far off in finding the mysterious crossbow." It was a small attempt at a joke. Everything hurt so badly that the thought of killing either chakor or myth seemed to be the only driving force at the moment for the kitsune.
Misaki was frozen in shock. She didn't even respond to what Al said about killing them... just... "What." That was the only word that came out of her mouth. Satoru supressed a smile. "...Misaki," he said, "you don't remember anything, do you?" Misaki turned and glared at him. "...what the HELL?! she roared, jumping to her feet, "You... you..." Her face was as red as a tomato. "...I'll deal with this later," he said, though she still looked flaming mad, "what is it exactly that requires us to fight?" Satoru looked off into the distance. "That," he said, pointing. At first, it would seem like nothing was off in the horizon, past all the houses. But if you looked closly, rapidly approaching was a large, swirling cloud of demonic creatures. That was when Misaki remembered something Satoru mentioned before. "Creatures that even your worst nightmares wouldn't begin to describe," both of them aid at the same time. "They're pretty slow," Satoru said, "it'll take about an hour for them to get here... all hell will break loose when they do, though. So we're hoping to bring the battle away from the village so the children will be safe." Misaki looked around. The adults who were now gathering around them all had serious expressions. "...I see," she said, "let's get to it, then." She extended her hand, "Satoru." The adult was already dissolving into shadows, becoming the black metal crossbow that was his weapon form.
Chakor smiled as he saw the Kitsune bleeding. ‘Serves him right’ the elf though to himself. He turned his attention to the on-coming cloud of demons, squinting his eyes he saw the one he had came for. Ammit, the soul eater, his nemesis from eons ago. The elf reached into his vest and drew his black dagger. “Let’s do this. The quicker we get the village cleared, the better.”
Mythayus drew his sword and was ready. Tongues of electricity dance off the sword. "I agree, Chakor." As he watched the horizon.
Alphonz was up the moment his legs had healed enough. The dagger spun into his hand as he raced across the portal. " It was you." With a deft flick of his wrist the blade soared from his hand straight towards the broad back of the elf. " I'll kill you." The rage rolled from the kitsune in waves. Almost palpably due to the excess magic he was still storing from the ritual. He stopped dead in his tracks seeing the oncoming waves of demons a snarl spreading over his face." Fine they die first then you and me elf." Turning to the man he'd seen with the rituals." An hour you say? Sure... How much collateral damage can I do? As in how much of this place do you care if I destroy?"
Misaki fornwed a little at Al. "...and you wonder why I don't trust you," she muttered to herself. Satoru's voice echoed from the crossbow. "Don't blow the main building over there." Misaki looked over. The biggest building had maybe thirty men and women guarding it. "That's where Yachiru and the children and the people who can't fight are." Misaki nodded once. "...alright," she said, "let's do this." She pulled one of the bolts out of her quiver and loaded Satoru. "...Myth," she said, turning to the dragon, "we're gonna need you in the air, with me. Taking care of any of those... things, those nightmares, who can fly." She nodded once to Al. "...do what you can to protect the people here. And Chakor," she turned to the lycan, "lead the people on the ground. I'm counting on you." She nodded to all of them. "...do what you have to to get ready. You have forty-five minutes before the battle begins."
Chakor smiled at the Kitsune’s rage. “I will happily rip you limb from limb but we have more pressing matters.” The elf nodded in acknowledgement of the avians words and turned to the villagers that had gathered. “Okay, all of you on me. If you fall behind, please call out. I’ll come back for you. Stay bunched together!” The gladiator headed out away from the cloud of demons.
Mythayus nods. He sheathes his sword. His bones started to crack and pop. His body warped and distorted, blue scales appeared as his black armor disappeared. He let out a mighty roar one the transformation was complete.
Alphonz gave a wide grin as he was allowed free reign to do what ever he felt like. Quickly he set to work the inky black substance staying behind as he painted runes on the ground. On buildings. hell he even painted a few on the trees. For the entirety of his free time the kitsune could be seen bent over sketching more and more runes upon the ground. Slowly the Matrix expanded as more and more runes. Anyone with knowledge of runes would tell that it was all one massive detonation. The ones on the trees were oddly enough animation runes. It would be an amusing sight to see the trees coming to life and fighting as well. At the end of the 45 minutes the kitsune would stand in the middle of matrix ideally waiting for the proper moment to set the runes off. With his remainder of his time the kitsune merely started to gather ambient magical energy this nightmare realm had some interesting magic.
Misaki wandered over to the main building where the children were. The moment she touched the door, it wung open. At first, one would wonder if behind the door was a mirror. Because standing on the other side of the door was Misaki's twin. They looked excatly. the same. "Yachiru," Satoru said from Misaki's hand, "meet your twin sister, Misaki." Yachiru looked Misaki up and down with glowing red eyes. "...bitch," seh said, "why the hell did ya have to leave?" Misaki blinked. "Uhh..." she said. Too shocked. Way too shocked. She actually had a twin! "Yachiru," Satoru aid, "you know why she left. C'mon now, let us in." "Shut up, -dad-," Yachiru snapped, her eyes narrowing, "why do ya'll get yersel prepared for the battle an' let me do my damn job." And the door was slammed again. "...'cause I pretty much am ready," Misaki muttered. She sighed, turning away from the door. Well... might as well go do some warm ups. "C'mon Myth," she said, jumping onto the dragon's back.
Chakor walked for twenty minutes before he came upon another village, this one a slightly more fortified. The elf took to the city making sure residents were safe and had escape plans. “I’ll come back for you once the worst of the fighting is done.” With that the warrior shifted into a lycan and ran back to the fray.
Mythayus nods to misaki and with a single flap he's air born and awaiting her command.
Alphonz continued to gather the ambient magic from the area. Soon he was shining like a star in the bleak landscape. No longer could the Kitsune keep up his illusion. it shattered revealing hundreads upon hundreads of serpents cirlcing around his body Bella was curled around the runic circle Waiting to leap into the fray to protect her master. With a loud hiss the sky erupted as the flying vipers took to the air. Circling around there master as another defensive shield.
Misaki took a deep breath, adrenaline pumping. "Myth," she said, "promise me something." She rested her hand on his back. "...no matter what happens," she said, "even if I die or become incapacitated, keep fighting. And make sure everyone gets back in one piece." She then stood up, looking down at the tiny army of weapons and weilders waiting for commands. "Weapons, get ready!" she yelled. She then felled, preading her wings as she headed for the cloud of demons, "CHARGE!!"
Chakor bounded into view of the village as Misaki issued the attack order. Figuring he would do the most damage in his current lycan form, he chose to forgoe a shift. The fierce beast strode headling onto the battlefield, biting and clawing all the demons in his path.
Mythayus gave a fierce roar. He used his massive wing to pick up speed. He charged forward into the waves of demons. His eyes started to glow light blue and lightning strikes started at random missing all allies.
Alphonz gave a low snarl as he screamed his incantation to the heavens. The snakes around him burst into activity striking at the nightmares surrounding him trying to buy the Kitsune just a bit more time. The magic he'd been storing he forced into the runes around his feet. The matrix lit up with an unholy red energy." By the gates of hell I command your power." As the nightmares closed around the fox a massive explosion would shake the land. It took a few minutes for the smoke to clear to only reveal a massive crater spanning every area the runes touched. The trees came to life snatching the monsters from the sky ripping tearing and stabbing. From the crater a mass of snakes appeared slithering along the ground. Al appeared a moment later riding atop Bella his body still trailing smoke.
Misaki tore through the nightmares, bolts flying and knife stabbing. Blood coated her body, of many different colors. She got to the center of the cloud, where she was aiming for. The boss of nightmares... a furry minotaur-vampire-demon lookin thing, roaring and cursing in the nightmares' language. "Son of a bitch," Misaki said, "let's go!" She cast Satoru off to the side, grabbing her bone sword to dash for the thing. Satoru changed human, sliding on the sand. "Misaki!" he yelled, "be careful!"
Chakor slashed and clawed his way through the numerous nightmares before him, making his way towards Ammit. He had an old score to settle with the Devourer of The Dead. As he approached the horrific montrosity the lycan shifted back into an elf. Raising the blackened dagger, the gladiator took a swipe at the beasts lion like body.
Mythayus using his tail he spins and send several nightmares plummeting to the ground. His claws felt this flesh of the nightmare taring them limb from limb. He let out a raor that boomed for miles.
Alphonz cleared the crater seeing the torn corpses littering the ground. A massive roar escaped the Basilisk as she turned her stare to more then one nightmare. They started to drop dead. The snakes around him swirled more and more biting and strangling the nightmares around him. Al never had to raise a hand unless it was for his own amusement. With a few flicks of his wrist more then one dagger found themselves in the heads of more then one nightmare. The kitsune was the center of a swirling mass of snakes nightmares were dieing left and right around the kitsune. Looking around he noticed that the weapons were making a good charge the nightmares breaking around them.
Misaki was locked in fierce combat. Stab, lunge, backoff, stab again. The king of nightmares was putting up a damn good fight. Both Misaki and him were covered in cuts and bleeding profusely. The giant thing's hammer came down towards Misaki just as she dodged, landing it in the diamond sand. Using the new opening, Misaki thrust her dagger forward, embedding it in the thing's skull. IT howled, exploding into a large mass of shadows... Misaki relaxed, thinking the battle was over. Then suddenly she started screaming, shadows amassing around her body. "Misaki!" Satoru yelled, running for hiss daughter. But one of the shadows shot for him, making him back off. "Get.... away....!" Misaki struggled, writhing in pain, "Get away from me!"
Chakor remained locked in battle with his eternal nemisis. He had dealt with Ammit before, when he met him a few decades into being a lycan. An old ogre shaman claimed that Ammit could free the elf from the lycan inside him. It had been a con. When Chakor entered the nightmare realm he was attacked immediately by the ancient evil. He was able fight it off and escape with his life. Now here they were again fighting, this time there was more than just the gladiators life on the line.
Mythayus continued his on slot on the nightmares. He had taken a beating cuts and buise all over body. Lightning continued to fall from the skies. He gave a raor hoping to intimadate the remaining nightmare
Alphonz turned hearing the screams. A small snarl spread across the kitsunes face. Bella dropped the kitsune to the ground as waved his right arm in front of him. The ink dripped from his arm wrapping around the area as runes appeared in the area. " Ohh god..." The runes floated around the Kitsune before he started to chant." From the gates of hell I demand your power. From the gates of heaven I demand your power." Clasping his hands together the runes lit up around him. The ground gave a rumble before shining red and blue chains burst from the ground. Hundreds of chains twisted and soared aiming right for misaki.The chains burned brightly causing smoke to rise when ever they touched the shadows. On the ground Al started to shake, then fall to one knee. The magic pouring from him into the runes was taking a tole on the body.
Misaki || The shadows cascaded out of Misaki's body into the chains, heading for Alphonz. "Al!" she yelled, "Don't!" She landed on the ground as another nightmare attacked her. When the leader fell, many of the nightmares were fleeing, running away from the battle. Satoru punched the nightmare attacking Misaki in the face, holding her to him. "You're okay, Misaki," he said to her. She was shaking hard. "...but Al..." she said quietly.
Chakor heard Misaki's screams and decided he would settle this battle another time. The elf slashed the beasts face hard leaving a massive gash on the crododile's skin. Turning and dashing towards the avian the warrior sees the nightmares let go of her as the jump towards Al. Though he would rather see the Kitsune die, the elf knows that he is the only way out of this hell. With great force he leaps into the path of the rampaging nightmares,being enveloped by them in the process.
Mythayus had made a promise and he was gonna keep it. He made a b-line towards Al. His wings tucked into his sides to reduce friction.
Alphonz fell to his knees his vision was getting spotty. The sound of massive wings caused him to look up. Chakor and myth trying to save him? The kitsune shook his head lightly his resolve forming once again.No one touched his weapon. With a snarl the fox forced himself to his feet. The snakes around him grew quite. " Kitsune special move number 129. " He gathered the last scraps of magic into his body right as the shadows slammed into him. " Ritual binding circle. " From inside the mass of shadows a demonic light sprang up as runes peeled off the foxs body forming a triangle of energy. If he was to die like hell he'd let tthem take his friend and weapon. Chakor's selflisness earned him a spot of gratitude. And with that the fox passed out as the runes activated. The magic forcing a scream from the fox's body as it forced the king of shadows into the already possessed right arm.
Misaki covered her ears as the kitsune screamed. She watched in horror and bones black spikes erupted on the fox's arm. "Al!" she screamed, trying to run towards him but Satoru held her back. "Wait," he said, "you can't do anything to help him now. It's all on him now." Misaki glared at Satoru. "Shut your face!" she snarled, elbowing the crossbow as hard as she could in his stomach. He doubled over, gasping and Misaki charged how her friend as a bolt of purple light sprang from in front of her face. "Don't you dare move," Yachiru had emerged from the main building and was now standing near Al. Outside the triangle of light, her hand raised towards Misaki.
Chakor clawed at the buring sands as he struggled to break free the nightmare's grasp. As the shadows began to consume him the efl let out a fierce cry and shifted into his lycan form. He threw off the mass of shadowy beings and fought them with renewed vigor. The massive lycan saw that some of the beings had redirected themselves after Misaki again. Gathering what strength and air he could, the beast let out an ear-shattering howl of the damned. The nightmare's quickly turned and dove towards Chakor. A tastier meal they had not seen for a long time.
Mythayus continued his b-line. Only spreading his wings at the last moment. He scanned his surrounding trying to figure out who and where was in need of his help most. He watched in aw at the shadowy mass that was going into his friend. He was stunned for the moment
Alphonz :: The light show ended with a bang of colors and screams coming from the fox. Then just as suddenly as it began the sceeaming stopped. Slowly the kitsune seemed to be looking at the new tranformation of his arm. Almost without noticing the kitsune felt the addition of another tail. Damn. Slowly the fox turned to look at the drama unfold between someone and misaki. Al just shook his head. Everything felt like a dream at the moment. Infinite power boiled in his veins. This realm of nightmares was his plaything. Lifting the arm up he gave the signal to halt. Most of the nightmares stopped scared of the new king. Finally he lifted his head to take in the battle field. His eyes had changed once more. The left a burning orange. But the right was a mass of darkness. Upon the kitsunesl's brow his fur had changed colors. Dark black fur in the shape of a crown encircled his head. The voices ib his head were arguing something about killing these people. Letting the nightmares loose to finish the job. Gis eyes turned to chakor almost as if contemplating something. But after a few moments he nodded as if to himself. The shadows wouldnt try to eat the lycan merely convert such a strong warrior. " Well misaki..." The voice was Al's normal charming tone. " What do I do with an army of nightmares?"
Misaki was frozen in shock. Her face paler than normal. Even Satoru was silent. All at once, the last of the nightmares vanished. Yachiru eyed the kitsune with her ruby red eyes. "...impressive," her cold voice mused. Misaki's twin bowed at the waist. "Yachiru...?" Satoru said, in shock. "Perhaps I shall accompany you wherever you go," Yachiru said, "for better or for worse." Satoru's face drained of what little color he had left. Yachiru had just declared herself Al's weapon.
Chakor thrashed from side to side as the nightmare's ravaged his body. The warrior spirit inside the lycan burned with an intensity that rivaled the sun. After having slayed several of the shadowy creatures, the lycan changed back to an elf. Turning quickly to the group ahead he yelled "Go on, get the hell out of here! Nows your chance!"
Mythayus gave a roar. "We need to get those we can and are willing and go." His voice boomed. "Were not leaving with out you!" He powerfully pushed his wings against the ground lifting himself back off the ground. "Let's Move out!"
Alphonz gave a slow nod at chakors words. They did need to leave. Turning to yachiru he eyed the woman up and down. " Your cute enough. Gather the people that want to leave. " The kitsune quickly made his way to a clear spot starting to sketch runes upon the ground. "This will take a bit of time... Plenty of time to gather the civilians. " And with that tbe fox turned hastily trying to finish.
Misaki || Yachiru nodded, running for the main building. Misaki was fozen, all colord drained from her face. She was scared. Legitimatly scared. Everything was happening so fast... it was when Satoru picked her up in his arms that she snapped back to reality. "Time to go," Satoru said, heading for where Alphonz was standing. "...but, Chakor..." she said. Satoru shook his head. "We can return later for him," he said, "he's got his own battle to fight now." Yachiru returned to Al's side with a trail of fifteen or so kids following her, all different ages. "None of the adults want to leave," she declared, "so it's jut these guys."
Chakor was pinned to the ground by the disgusting nightmares, writhing in agony. The elf was sure they would consume him but he still fought on so his friends could escape. He killed as many as he could and had finally managed to free himself when he saw Ammit bearing down on him. Looking up he could no longer see his companions. At least they wouldn't die in this horrid wasteland.
Mythayus seeing that everything was being taken care started to help Chakor by ripping and taring at the flesh of the nightmares. He called forth Lightning to strike down the foes. He was determined to keep his promise.
Alphonz didn't look up at the woman as he finished the rune matrix. Stepping into the center cluster he started to chant. Everything hurt already this was going to be worse. The magic gathered around his clawed hands and with a snarl of rage he ripped a hole through dimensions. On the other side he could see the fountain of corruption. Oh glorious day " Go. " Blood atarted to leak from the kitsunes weak and battered body. He had to be last since he had akipped the key ritual. he'd have to manually close the gate.
Misaki || Yachiru jumped through first. Misaki got tossed in after, landing face-first in the dirt. "tupid bird," Yachiru said, kicking the avian in the ribs. "Be nice to your sister," Satoru ended up next to Misaki with the children trailing into the world of Hollow after him, looking around with bright, eager faces.
Chakor heard the crackle of lightning as it hit the creatures around him. Looking up he saw his love. "What the HELL are you doing? Get out while you can fool." The last thing he wanted was the man he cared so much for to be lost because of him. "If you love me, then you will save yourself." With teary eyes the elf solemnly said "I love you Mythayus."
Mythayus looked back in between the portal and Chakor. He gave a sad roar and turns to go through the portal.
Alphonz followed through after everyone was through. Giving one last glance at Chakor he simply closed the gate behind him. An audible popping noise as the gate shut. Al slowly stepped forward resting against the fountain. He was right everything hurt more then ever before . "Bella dont eat the children." The basilisk seemed to look sad for a moment but merely curled around her master protectively. He looked around at the gathered people. " Where are the children going?"
Misaki was pulled to her feet by Satoru. "...Satoru and I can take them," she said, leaning on him, "we've got enough money to rent enough rooms to houe them all... until we get something a little more permanent."
Chakor 's filled with tears as he witnessed his friends and loved ones leave from this hellish place he let out a lonesome cry of agony for the Nightmares engulfed his body. The elf fought and struggled as he trudged forward to an abandoned house. Once he was inside the elf broke down in tears. He was alone, forever.
Mythayus quickly morphed back into his human form, so as not to scare the children. He stared at the portal. It took everything he had to keep himself from jumping back through. He lowered his head and knelt before Misaki. "I'm sorry i broke my promise. I failed you, in all ways that i could have, as your mount, friend, and ...." He looked at Satoru. "My word is no longer, trustworthy and i am sorry. My order demands, that this be rectified. How this is done is sololy in your hands, Misaki." His eyes watered but not tears fell.
Fountain of Corruption
Alphonz gave a small nod to misaki for her words. At least the kids would be taken care of. Staggering to his feet once more the kitsune wiped blood from his face for the umptenth time. " Myth... We will get chakor back if nothing else then to mend your heart." An oddly touching sentiment from the newly crowned king of nightmares. Once more Al looked Misaki's sister up and down. A small smirk playing across his face. "Well if your coming with me lets go... I'm...exhausted. " It was true even now the kitsune staggered on his feet. Between Bella and Yachiru though he figured he could make it to his current home. He let the woman say her goodbyes if only to her father. As this was going on the fox took a moment to truly look at his new arm....grotesque was his only thought. When the farewells were completed . The duo plus Bella started to walk away. Snippets of a rather colorful conversation could be heard. " What...? well I do have a whip... and more then a few chains. " Small bouts of laughter followed. And ever so slowly they faded from sight.
