Zerro smiled "My name is Zerro. And whoever is here is responsible for my mother dying." Zerro looked up as he heard an giant set of footsteps comming from the other side of the entrance.

"Damn. somebody's comming." Zerro took Krysta's hand and pulled her right into a space between the door and the corner. As the giant door opened, four huge Golems walked out, most likely on gaurd duty. "This must be a major point in their operations." Zerro carefully pulled out a set of shurikens, and tossed them in between the door and ground, sticking them. "That should keep the door open for a bit.'

Zerro was about to go in just before he stopped and looked at The at his side. "Hey, I never did catch your name."

 

[DarkThoughts01]

Lucian
Lucian sighed and mastered his patience.They were already at his doors,a few more minutes couldn't hurt.
He stood and paced behind a large desk,hand pulling on the hilt of his sword,sheathing and unsheathing the first inch of the blade again and again in impatience.

At his other arm his shifter dragon curled around his arm,becoming a gauntlet.

His head lifted and a grin spread over his features.

Whoever was here had not been sighted by the last golems in his home,who he had sent away.He chuckled to himself as he waited more calmly now,the rain spattering against the windows gently as it picks up again.

He gestured,and the sound of doors slamming open fileld the castle,the large front doors creaking more slwoly apart to Thud against the wall,wide open.

Ivellias
Ivellias was bored.

He gestured toward a few of his pets and waved his hands ina shooing motion.

"i think you should go provide some entertainment for the city.now go,hmm....destroy something,kill people,whatever"He said distractedly as a small growth from his side,shaped as a knife at the end,carved and mutilated the beheaded dragon wihtout a thought,its body marked and pitted with designs and scrawls,disgusting graaffiti rambling amid the bite and scratch marks his pet had done to the body before it died

 

[hybirdx]

The rainstorm soaked Rock to the core, yet it unfazed the fox, infact, he was somewhat enjoying it. Actualy, if it wasn't for the unstable pain in his healing back, and now fully healed, (except for the throbing pain) throat. "Damn that wolf, I had him, I had him right there! And he still pounded me to the ground! Geez!"

Rock used his sword inside his scabber as an balancer as he walked through the empty streets, until they so empty any more. Screams filled the empty streets that caused Rock's fur to stiffen even though the rain soaked them. Rock placed the scabber back under his belt and ran torwards the screem, he turned a corner and slid to a muddy stop.

There laid an elderly woman and a elderly man, both bleeding to death, and two children, one boy that looked to be somewhere near 10-12, and an olkder girl around 14-16. Around them stood a set of Bi-peddler (They walk on two legs DT...) lizard like demons, most likely originating from Greece or parts of Europe.

"Lackys of that Vampire I presume..."

'No... They don't exactly have the same scent of that freak... these guys smell familar, but not that vampire...'

"Okay, now I'm interested." Rock pulled out his blade and glared at the demons. "Picking on young ones, disgraceful, even for your kind!" Rock lifted the sword and swung down, wind picking up and slicing all of the demons in one lazy swing. "Pathetic at that..."

 

[LadyRozes]

Krysta let Zerro yank her out of the way. Her eyes lad lost some of the hard edge in them when she heard about his mother.

She waited until the golems left and then said " My name is Krysta and I have hear your name before, at Jc's tavern.. I was there with a couple of peopel.. when they rescued me from this monster's clutches the first time. .. THe second time not so lucky, but that is neither here nor there , since we are both comming for the same thing.. perhaps we should work together.. ."

Just as she finshed that last statement a small buzzing thing flew and smacked into kysta causing her to lose her balance.. and almost fall into Zerro, " UMPH"

A strongly lilted voice exclaims, "I told ne'er to go alon aniwhar and wot do ye lassi do, ya up ahn leave... I am not blind ye ken? I can see da weader change.. I know yer a might bit upset.. but ya kanna go unprotected.. yer fader you'd kill me, and lets not even being to speak 'bout yer moder..."

"Hold it right there Kristoff.. thats enough really.. you see Zero here is going to head in with me.. so .. dont worry, I am covered .. but its nice ya cared enough for it."

She looked over to Zerro, "Srry about that.. ugh .. I didnt mean to fall into you.. I have zealous friends .. so lets go okay?"

 

[hybirdx]

Zerro's ears twitched as he heard frantic buzzing comming near them. Carefully, he set hisw right hand on his swords hilt just in case. But quickly let go as Krysta started to lose her balance and caught her."

"Are you okay?"

'I told ne'er to go alon aniwhar and wot do ye lassi do, ya up ahn leave... I am not blind ye ken? I can see da weader change.. I know yer a might bit upset.. but ya kanna go unprotected.. yer fader you'd kill me, and lets not even being to speak 'bout yer moder...'

Zerro's eye raised in slight shock. 'A fae? In these parts?' Zerro let Krysta regain her balance and turn to the little fae

'Hold it right there Kristoff.. thats enough really.. you see Zero here is going to head in with me.. so .. dont worry, I am covered .. but its nice ya cared enough for it.' She looked over to Zerro, 'Srry about that.. ugh .. I didnt mean to fall into you.. I have zealous friends .. so lets go okay?'

Zerro nodded and turned around looking at the door. "If you were at Jc's tavern, I'm guessing that you must have met up with my little brother Rock," Zerro said while they past the door. As soon as they were through though, the door slammed shut.

The wolf shot around with slight surprized, then bore his fangs in an sneer. "They were expecting us..."

 

[RoneLith]

OOC: I am terribly sorry for my long absence, I shall soon, hopefully be back in the thick of it having fun once again. Sorry for being gone.

 

[LadyRozes]

Krysta jumped slightly when the door slammed behind them. SHe didnt know what to expect from the monster, but she never expected him to want them to come and great him. She looked over to Zerro. "we should probably stick together."

 

[DarkThoughts01]

ooc-its ok Rone,ive set up some fun for your character when you get back)

Lucian

The sound of slow clapping echoed through the entrance hall,a dark form stepping lazily out of the shadows.

"ahhh good,you got past my servants,though of course I sent them away anyway,so I could play with you.I see your not alone my prey"
He gestured towards Zerro as he hungrily eyed Krysta,chuckling darkly.

"ohh I have so! much planned for you dear,think of it not.Oh?and what have we here?a dog and a fae.hmm hmm hmmm.I thought my brother had taken care of you a while agh well"He sighed."though i will tell you i had nothing to do wiht your mother's death,that happens to be my brother.Who in fact somewhere in the city,still killing."

He waved a hand and the pressure in the room rose,pressing hsi guests against the floor,preventing them from moving,as he kept talking.

"I have nothing against you"he spoke to Zerro."you may leave if you wish,my brother should be across town somewhere,don't worry hes very easy to find,just follow the blood and violence"He chuckled as the shifter dragon lowered from teh roof,coiling about his arm.

He turned back to Krysta."Ah and now to you my dear.You have changed,i can tell,it will be...****....to play with you"He laughed softly.

"But don't think because you've changed means i have not.Oh i am Much mroe powerful then before".

He reached a hand down to the black hilt and drew slowly,the sound of metal leaving the sheath hanging in the air,the blade coming into view.

It was just longer then average,straight with a pointed end,the metal of the blade a dark obsidian black that seemed to pulse.The sword uttered a shriek of pure agony and pain that knocked them down to their knees before it trailed off.

"Do you know what sword this is?and who used to use it?I'll give you three guesses"He grinned widely suddenly,baring fangs.

"that is...if you live long enough for that many"

He laughed and threw himself off the balcony,tilting along the floor a foot or two up,heading straight for Krysta.

As Zerro moved to attack him the shifter dragon shot part of itself out,knocking him away with a slam in the chest,faster then expected.

Krystoff moved to stnad between teh two,but a hard glance fileld wiht power sent the fae tumbling back an over Krysta's shouder.He moved forward impossibly fast,the dakr blade poised to stab through her heart again.

 

[hybirdx]

Zerro gave an lound grunt as he flew into a wall. But before he was even hit he flung his sword right out of his scabber causing an a small spark, which turned into a fire-ball that slamed right upside the shifter-dragon's head with an relentless impact.

The half-hell-hound stood up and brushed himself off. He then snatched the part of the shifters that was on him, and basicly crushed it under the pressure of his hand. "What better way toi anger your brother than slicing your throat? Besides, I wouldn't want to leave the ladie and her friend to have all the fun now would I..."

 

[LadyRozes]

Kyrsta yelped as she hit the door, and felt herself cringing with pain when the monster unleashed his sword. She shook her head and then realized her was heading straight for her heart ... again. WHy She never understood whyu he wanted to kill her in the first place, he did it once, but now... well now it just wasnt going to be fun anymore.


Deciding she needed to change tactic and hoped her companion ceaught on, she closed her eyes and conentrated and slowly peeled herself off the door and looked at him in a lazy sort of way.. " I have no idea why you wish to kill me ... there certainly are better things to do with this.."gesturing to her body posing suductively.. then putting the sugestive power into her words she purred at him, " Surely you can think of a few.. " Her eyes flashed seductively and hoped that she coudl get him to think in another direction before she got herself killed again.. using the same voice she continued .." I know you have more power than I .. and that is quite an alluring trait.. how can I .. some ... half mortal girl.. with nothing speacial to speak of really .. have that you need, sure we can barter... isnt there something you want besides ... my life.. "

[hybirdx]

Rock gripped his sword tightly and sighed. "I was too late..." The fox looked at the two frightened children with seemingly souless eyes. 'Its far too late for the old people to be revived... And I don't have that damn sword of Zerro's.'

He trudged forward torwards the two sobbing and scared half-to-death children. He slowly approached them and stopped just a few inches away from them. He glared down at them and risen his blade. "Don't move, this won't hurt as much if you don't..." Rock didn't care to hear the screems of the two youngsters as he swung the green blade down right in between them,, sending a wave violent wave of greenish-white wind that covered all of the narrow twist and turns of the small housing areas. un-humainly moans and screems filled the area as hordes of demons who mysteriously appeared disentegrated just as fast.

'How many of them did this ass-hole unleashed? Its like he doesn't even care for other peoples safety!' Rock sneered and placed the sowrd back in its holder, then looked down at the children. "Find somewhere safe, its not safe in these streets anymore." With that Rock just left, not looking backm he had other things on his mind, like the total destruction of whoever was behind this atteptive massacure. And his sharp nose was leading him directly to the pier.

 

[DarkThoughts01]

Lucian

Lucians blade slowed,ending wiht the point just touching Krysta's chest,drawing a small prick of blood.

"you are right....excpet that i know your no longermerely a half mortal.i know you are...something more.But,i am willing to negotiate"He said calmly,his senses fileld with teh scent of her blood anf her closeness.

The two's eyes locked,and an invisible contest of wills was fought silently,fighting to an exact draw."very good,i see you have gotten better."

Without turning he spoke to Zerro."Leave now,The lady and i have things to discuss.You will find my brother on top of a large building directly south of here.It wont be hard to miss,you'll see dragons flying around the top most likely."

He smiled as the shifter dragon writhed and its liquid form bent and coiled,becoming more liquid,slipping out of Zerro's crushing grip,a few flakes of useless stone dropping to th ground as it drew itself back,covering its Master's arm.

 

[LadyRozes]

Krysta kept herself in check. She had no idea how she was going to be able to do what she thought she had to do, but she figured she would feel her way out.

Gesturing with her hand and nodding slightly hoping htat Zerro understood that she would handle things.. there were hundered of innocnet peopel in the city that need his help.. she was only one person, and she would be able to handle things... as much as she could.

She gave her most winsome smile and teased him .. to try and get his mind away from .. killing her, "I dont know about the something more part, but I definately know I am no longer iimpaled with that sword of yours"

 

[hybirdx]

Zerro silently grunted in disaproval. He really didn't want to leave Krysta, nor Kristoff here with that swave lunatic, nor did he want to leave the chance of causing him any kind of suffering with his own two hands, the vampire pissed him off just that much.

He was about to regretfully leave when three things came to his, holding him back:

1: He caught wiff of an all too familar scent of powerful wind and metal. He travled way too long with the sword that created such a scent not to identify it.

2: The shifter-dragon seemed unaffected by Krysta's.... Gestures, and looked just-about ready to move in for a kill. Torwards who, he had no clue. But since it was looking right at him, making Zerro guess it was waiting for him to make a false move and move in to kill him with one bite. And since the pressure in the room was greatly slowing him down, he was an easy target in the corner.

3: He REALLY hated Lucian. With a passion.

'I really can't make a move... If I do, that shifter is really gonna have its way with me! What can I do...'

 

[DarkThoughts01]

Lucian

Lucians grin spread as he stepped back,the sword leaving its threatening place on Krysta,holding it loosely to his side."oh...this isn't the sword I killed you with last time,that was my pet here.This sword.....this sword is much,Much different"
He murmered,a hand stroking the hilt.

He stepped back a pace and smiled,completly unnafected by the pressure,or if he was,he didn't show it.

"If you will come with me"he said calmly to Krysta."we have much to discuss."
He turned and waved his hand,and Krysta was suddenly free from the affects of the pressure weighing the other two down.

He stopped after a few steps towards the doors leading deeper itno his home."oh..and Zerro?I would leave now,my brother is by now killing as many poeple in the city as he can catch,which with is shifter dragons is alot.I would go help,unless you want hundreds of more deaths."
He laughed and continued towards the doors,not even looking back to see if Krysta was following,the doors all slammed shut and locked except for the one he was walking too.

The front door suddenly swung open with a Bang,the pressure throwing Kristoff and Zerro off their feet past teh front door,the huge doors slamming closed behind them.

 

[LadyRozes]

Kristoff banged against the door, "NOOOO Kryasta ,... ye dunna know wot yer dealin wuit... dat sword... its...............well you'll find out soon anough." He looked over to Zerro, "what are ye wantin ta doo nah?"



Krysta jumped slightly as the door closed, she knew then that there was no turning back now.. she slowly followed him into the door that was left open. Hoping that Zeroo and Kristoof would the people in the city, she .... would just have to take care of herself..."

 

[hybirdx]

Zerro half stood on one knee, adjusting to the pressure release. "I really want that vampire shit-bag dead..." Zerro stood up and streatched. "But we really don't have any kind of way back in there..."

'What can we do? I'm betting If I just cut that door down, he'll have another, most likely stronger and harder to cut... I hope Rock is having better luck than we are...'

--------------------
Rock
--------------------

"Outa my way!" Rock swung the green sword again, sending another wave of chaotic mixture of air and metal slicing every voluntary lacky of the army. Rock showed absolutely no mercy as he hacked down anything that came close to him. He was officialy in a bad mood.

"Damn minions, Its not you're going to stop me!"

 

[LadyRozes]

Kristoff flew over Zerro and then said, "well if a canna save that lass I migh' as well save the one she wonted us too."


"Come lad, I hear the cries of many innocents, Im sure Krysta .. will manage, until.. we.. can get bak 'ere"

 

[hybirdx]

Zerro looked at Kristoff and Smiled. "Why don't we just go back to the tavern?" The wolf just chuckled upon seeing the small fae's look of shock. "Those 'innocent' crys? They are from dieing demons lackys who ironicly are comming from the port. I'm sure that Rock doesn't want to bother while he is on a killing spree. So we might as well just rest for now..."

 

[LadyRozes]

Kristoff looked increduosly at Zeero, "well in that case I want ta find anoder way in.. IM not.. lettin that creature .. kill er' again.."

 

[hybirdx]

Zerro nodded. "Okay, but just going through the front door won't cut it. Literally." Zerro stood there in deep thought, trying to figure out what they could do. "Castles like these always has a dungeon that leads to a bigger room, and I'm guessing that that's exactly where he taken her, a large room to do his.. Bidding." For some odd reason that flared Zerro even more. "Alright, lets go around back, thats most likely where it is."

 

[DarkThoughts01]

Shifter Dragons

The Shifter dragons cirled lazily then spun through the streets,ten of them following teh twisting corridors of buildings.A few buildings away teh sound of fighting could be heard.The surviving evil minions had pushed forward,though Rock cut down every one,he now stood in a slim street with destroyed and damaged buildings all around,the strange colored blood and bodies of dead minions,humans,and other debris layering the street.A few buildings had swordcuts or chunks missing,some with whole chunks ripped out by the fight.

Rock had a few scratches,but otherwise was fine,if a bit less zealous from fighitng for a while.

He stood there,a temporary lull in the fighting giving him a breather.As he turned to look at one side of the street the wall behind him exploded,a gray,stone colored shifter slamming into his back,lifting him off his feet and slamming him through the building opposite,his body finally reacting and cutting the dragon's foreclaws,making it shriek and drop him,the claws still clutching and biting through his skin as it rised,its claws regrowing instantly.From the ground under him another shifter dragon rose,biting into his leg,making him cry out as it lashed,falling back with a cut across its head,shaking it like a dog would before it regrew.Yet another came between two buildings,wrapping around him,to be cut in half and made into smaller forms of itself,which slide back into eachother to become one again.

The three shfiter dragons pressed their attack,darting in and out,harrying him,the cuts only slowing them as another grew out of the stone of the road,triping him as he flipped away,managing to stay afoot before another burst out of the ground,making him tumble before landing on the side of a building,only to have it to explode outward with a roar,yet another dragon joining the fray.

Rock cut one in half again,which flopped around a bit as it fixed itself,Yet another three shifter dragons shrieked down from the air,Lancing at rock,cutting him as they try to bite and scratch at the dodging Rock.

The eight shifter dragons puleld back a bit,roaring and snapping at him,though wary of the cutting blade that slowed and hurt them,though did not kill them.

Rock couldnt not tell where they were if they camouflouged,for they had no scent,though they were not completly intelligent yet,so they did not think to.

Two behind him materialized form teh background,their skins shifting to becoming their normale greyish white,and witha roar the two clamp huge jaws into rocks shoudlers,biting deep enough to draw blood as he was thrown forward by their attack,the shifter dragons curling to strike like snakes above him......

 

[hybirdx]

Rock grunted is pain as the two shifters bit down into his shoulders. "Bastards!" The fox quickly got up and tunged forward, he jumped into the air and kicked one right in the nose. Using the force of his attack, Rock fliped backwards and landed onto top of another shifter. Grabbing the upper jaw he pulled back causing the creature to groan in pain.

Another shifter took noticed and lunged at Rock. Yet when he came too close to dodge, Rock jumped away from the shifter and allowed them to crush each other by them selfs. Rock Then relized that he could out smart them, even in one shot!

Rock looked up at the remaing shifted and yelled at them "Hey you ungle sons of bitches! My grand father can fight better than you!" All of the remaining shifters growled and charged at Rock, yet he didn't move a muscle, until at the last second where he rolled out of the way causing the dragons to not only ram violently into each other, but the ground at the same time as well crushing them into dust. "Of course, MJy grand father is the ever so strong Cerberus..." Rock looked down at the pile of mess and spat on them "And you call yourselfs dragons..."

Rock turned away, place his sword back into its holder, and calmly walked away. He suddenly heard growling sounds behind him. At first he only turned his head enough to see what was going on, but then he swung into a full 180. All of the shifter dragons grolwed and began circling around Rock. "You gotta be shiting me..."

 

[DarkThoughts01]

Shifter Dragons
The Shifter Dragons growled and snapped at eachother,but quickly reorganized themselves,their forms rebuilding themselves,shaking heads and limbs free of a stress from the reconstruction.

With a will they all flew toward Rock,and at the last second split each into two more,circling in the air around Rock,a dome of shifters around him.

The noose suddenly tightened,and the shifter dragons curled around him.There was a few muffled shouts then a howl as the shifter dragons flew apart,impacting into the street and surrounding buildings,dust from destroyed wood and rock providing a light mist over the ground.

Yet again and the shifters rose,but this time their forms shifted again.

half of the shifters planted a portion of themselves over a portion of collapsed rubble,and the attachment seemed to pulse and move as if the new limb was swallowing the stone.A moment later they roared and opened their maws,shards of rock from the rubble ejecting out with high pierced whines as they cut the air,the first few cutting across arms,legs,chest,all over rock.
The other five floated aroun in the air,growing scythe's along their bodies and divebombing Rock,their bodies forming holes to accept the rock shard fire through them into rock,even as they cut at him.
