Fantasy Dragon's Roar 3: Rise of The Dark Arts ( Finished )

[Light]

[QUOTE="Kai'zen Makaira]Fayde had been keeping tabs on just how much destruction they caused not wanting to do any more than he could clean he struck Altiera upward only to have her recover by bursting into her archdemon form. She sent a blast of hellfire at Fayde who twisted and launched an advancing Kai'zen into the blast impressed when he saw the gilded exoskeleton take the blast with no major damage. Finally he locked blades with Lucien who had moved so fast that by the time Fayde seized his spear between the scythes four cuts were made on each arm and leg. Fayde grinned a exhilarated look on his face he was about to truly cut loose when he notified Dark. "Isa-" Fayde was hit hard as the other two sa switched him between a exoskeleton fist and a wave of demonic energy laced with a bit of hellfire. The resulting blast threw everyone away and leaving Fayde with blood trickling down his forehead and lip. His shirt, tie and vest appeared to have disintegrated revealing Fayde's toned torso exposed. "Hello there Dark, how can I help you." Vramiel was visibly pissed originally from his gnarled up emotions and now from the fact that he was stupid enough to let his guard down for the wrong Isabel. He resolved to figure his all out with Apex after this whole bout with the dark arts was over, maybe before if the opportunity arose. Lucien looked over to Dark his red eyes scanning her his cross pupils evaluating her before turning his attention back to Fayde. "That's our guild leader? Finally decided to hatch for us?" Kai'zen rolled his eyes stepping up his gilded exoskeleton faded as he offered his hand, "Ignore that asshole, I'm Kai'zen. Silver dragon and future emperor."

[/QUOTE]
Dark looked older over the course of the year but still had a young look. Since she looked the youngest out of the personalities. She reaches out and takes his hand. She had a light frown on her face because she was trying to hide her sorrow, which still wasn't working all too well. "Dark... Or Alice. Call me whichever." She took offense to being called that but shrugged it off. Usually she would pick a fight but it just didn't feel like mattered anymore. Her red eyes seemed dull instead of piercing like they should be. She held a sad beauty which would become bright if she would just smile. "Hello Fayde. You all look pretty strong."

Fayde stepped up out of the crater that was made his skin steaming, kai'zen stepped out of the way with his introduction done. Once Fayde was close enough he did something extremely uncharacteristic and pulled Alice into a warm hug his words reverberating in his chest before spilling out into the open air in soothing tones, "It's good to see you again, I can't believe how much you've grown." Fayde disengaged and stepped back looking her eye to eye a warm smile playing on his lips. "I should introduce you to the others, the surly archdemon over there is Altiera, she was originally a possession victim but ended up swallowing her possessed whole. And that young dragon knight is Lucien, he is sadly the last of the old order, and thus his kind. Despite his youth he is beyond extremely powerful. They haven't gotten to do much fighting so the others don't know what they're capable of, but a bit more training like this and we will overwhelm the Dark Arts. Speaking of which, we better get back to training.....will you join us?" Fayde stepped away and a new shirt tie and vest appeared on his body nicely tucked as if he never had it blown off of his chest. This time dark spears formed in his hands as opposed to scythes.

Dark's eyes widened in fear when he gave her a warm hug. "N-no. I'm good, I won't be using my magic right now." Her voice seemed shaky as she rubbed the skin on her arms. As if she were trying to get something off. She was close to full on scratching. "I'll watch though... I don't know much about the Dark Arts since I was out for a while." Her breaths were slowly becoming uneven. "It's really nice to meet all of you though." She noticed Altiera and couldn't help but be reminded of Arcadia. Which only made things worse for her. She didn't even notice the sweat beginning to form on her forehead. Her body was assuming it was stuck in the exoskeleton again in boiling hot temperatures. She was sure it was only a little sweat. Dark didn't even notice that she was starting to scratch at her arms. Since she felt like she had to rip off the exoskeleton to free herself. These actions were mostly happening in her subconscious.

 

[Alterius]

Kai'zen looked at Dark an eyebrow raised he watched her scratch her arms he looked back and forth between Fayde and Dark and saw Fayde take notice. Fayde looked at Dark and just nodded, sensing his discomfort he felt that he should have known not hug Dark. "Dark, do you need anything, your starting to break into a nervous sweat, not to mention your constant scratching of your arms." Fayde looks at her a bit concerned.

Carnage decides to speak up this time around. Since Alice would be unable to form a complete sentence soon. "Well the last time she was conscious she was trapped in scales and a dragon exoskeleton. Radiating an intense heat that was melting objects around her due to a mana overflow unlike any other. The exoskeleton would regenerate faster than she could rip it off. So she ended up burning inside of it.... oohh the way her skin was boiling underneath the scales. That was until she 'blew up' in a fury of raw mana and destroyed everything which mostly ended the war. Yet that's why she ended up in that cocoon. So yes, I think she'd like to steer clear of warmth and using her mana."





Dark casts Carnage a glare. The red snow leopard could only chuckle in response. "I'm fine Fayde. Ignore him." Dark stopped scratching and dabs at the sweat. "You can all just go back to training."

 

[Alterius]

Fayde looked shocked when he heard about Dark's experience during the war he wanted to help but knew that Dark didn't feel as comfortable with him as she would be with the others.Nodding when she suggested they get back to training he turned away glancing back over his shoulder at her amethyst eyes locking on hers, "I'm sorry.....I wasn't there when you all needed me and that never should have happened to you....I'll make up for my mistakes. I promise." There was a clear tone of earnestness in his voice before he turned back to the others, getting the cue the four simultaneously flashed out of view appearing only after colliding in the center of the battleground in an eruption of white light.

Dark swiftly shakes her head since it was her fault the enemy gained so much power in the war. She would have to apologize to everyone for that. "Don't apologize. You're not to blame for anything." Dark kept eyeing Altiera which was something Carnage noticed.


"You kept glancing at the archdemon. Do you find her attractive? Oh.... Or is it because you can't help but think of your dear Arcadia?"





Dark looks away and frowns even more since Carnage completely put her in a tight spot. He even said it loudly. "Can you not bring Arcadia up?"

 

[Cadin shadow lord]

(Aight, see ya.)
"Then I'll just stop talking." Bruce turned himself to Isaac once again, thrusting his hands forward to send two balls of ki at him. He was going to keep in the same spot as long as possible. It really seemed he couldn't get his point to anyone lately no matter what he said.

Isaac used his super speed to run past the ki balls and run straight at Bruce. He began circling Bruce, moving so fast it looked as if he was in multiple place at once, every few seconds he'd hit Bruce, not aiming for one specific spot.

 

[Daimao]

She lightly rolls her eyes but didn't mean anything by it. "Yeah... I guess you could say that. I don't get along with them very well. It's not that big of a deal anyways. They don't need to know me all too well anyways. Felix I'm going to need you to watch over my body. If anything goes wrong, immobilize me immediately and make sure I can't talk."
With that she closes her eyes and her body goes limp. Even though Carnage was in a different area, he was still connected with her mentally. "Alright then Sanctum. Work with me here if you can please. Julius can you deepen the contract? We'll discuss things about it later."


"I assume that's alright."





At that moment Witch could feel connected with several other witches around the world. Carnage helped pinpoint where the most deaths in Europe occurred. From there Julius was able to trace the spell used there back to its origin. Witch felt like she was travelling through the roots of the world. Morgan was searching throughout the base for all witches. If she could find a witch and get Jackie in her line of eyesight then she could possibly get Sanctum to tag her so she could keep tabs on where she is without being in this state. She was suddenly looking through the eyes of the hooded woman. Morgan herself had never encountered her since she was comatose during the encounters. The hooded woman was looking through a book that held information on most members of Dragon's Roar. Morgan was about to jump from from her to another witch but stopped due to the shock of seeing this book. She couldn't stay for long though. She jumps from the hooded woman and sees through another person's eyes. He could see Jackie in a terrible state but her time was growing short. "Sanctum can you do anything?"


"It's the truth!" The old man speaks quickly and hopes for the best.


Raven slowly nods her head. "What we're these two locations?"


On the outside Jackie looked confused but on the inside she just didn't know what to say. She really didn't expect that even if it were a date. Alpha's overall points went up and Jackie asks him what he'd like to do next.


The four of them ended up blowing away the tree Dark hiding behind. Luckily she stepped to the side.

Alpha places the controller down. "Grimm, must I really go through this? I need to go save the actual Jackie."

Alpha places the controller down. "Grimm, must I really go through this? I need to go save the actual Jackie."

The copy of Grimm down in the realm of death seems to look up. "Oh... it seems like we don't have time to waste. Here is the important message. The gods of the deity realm intend to wage war upon mortals. I've been trying to debate with them and hold them back alongside Athena. We can only do so much though. Now that my first granddaughter is awake I need you to get Ashlyn or who you know as Apex. To the deity to get things under control as it's rightful ruler. Morgan or Witch is tracking Jackie as we speak so try not to disturb her just yet." Also you people need to stop dying. The other deities may found I've been helping you all out. Go." With that Alpha's vision begins to blur as he's being released from death's grip. Grimm even supplied him with mana since last time he checked, Alpha was all out. Grimm made sure to to send him where the sword was.

Alpha reappears directly in front of Sierra, who is still holding the sword, mere millimeters away from each other. "I'll be taking this," he said nonchalantly, taking the sword out of Sierra's hand. Turning on his heel, Alpha swished the sword through the air a few times, before placing it in a sheath that appeared at the back of his waist. "Where is Apex?" he asked Hekate.

Sierra was still expecting her money and ways to get to Orthrus. "It's nice to see that you're okay Alpha. You ready to get your girl?"


Hekate points inside the house. "She's in the house."

It took Bruce a couple of seconds but he managed to get adjusted to Isaac's speed, moving his arms around to block his attacks without moving. He stretched his arm out and clotheslined Isaac to the ground using his own momentum to do so.

Isaac coughed for a few seconds, then he got back up and sped off using his super speed. Isaac then reappeared behind Bruce getting him in a choke hold like he had at the guild.

Bruce grabbed Isaac's arm and held it away so he could speak. "Horrible idea against someone twice your size." He then flipped himself forward and smashed him against the ground beneath Bruce.

"It almost worked the first time." Isaac said scurrying to his feet and moving away from Bruce. Isaac then fired some ki blasts at Bruce, then he used his super speed to move behind Bruce and fired more ki blasts. He continued to do this on all sides of Bruce.

Bruce spun all around, firing ki blasts that would meet Isaac's and eliminate both. "You're good, better than last time. I'll actually have to take you seriously to keep up." Eventually he expanded on ball of ki around and away from him.

"Thanks for the compliment." Isaac said, he'd have to slow down on his super speed though. If he didn't he'd be completely exhausted and he wouldn't stand a chance. Isaac backed away and began charging a large ki blast.

 

[Daimao]

Sierra was still expecting her money and ways to get to Orthrus. "It's nice to see that you're okay Alpha. You ready to get your girl?"
Hekate points inside the house. "She's in the house."

Ignoring Sierra's comment, Alpha walked into the house. "Ashlyn!" he called.

Sierra scoffs but sits on her bike. She shrouds herself in nemesis mist and disappears. She would annoy him later.


Witch was in a room with Felix. Her body was limp due to using a connection throughout the world.


Ashlyn could hear somebody calling out to her by her actual name. She takes form outside of the main body looking around for who it was.

Bruce threw out a volley of ki blasts at Isaac while he charged up his attack, some curving behind him.

Bruce threw out a volley of ki blasts at Isaac while he charged up his attack, some curving behind him.

Although it wasn't complete Isaac threw the ki blast, it would still do quite some damage if Bruce didn't do anything to block it. Isaac was able to get the ki blasts that didn't curve with his own, but he didn't have enough time to turn and hit the one's that curved behind him. The ki blasts hit Isaac's back which hurt enough to make Isaac wince, but he tried his best to ignore the pain.

Felix nods, "'Course," When they enter the house, he lays her down on the couch, putting a blanket over her and a pillow under her head to make sure she's comfortable. He sits down on the end of the couch and turns on the TV to entertain himself.


----


Instead of lingering on how angry he was that his host was shackled like an animal - humiliated and demeaned - he felt the essence of the woman, looking for magic he recognized and for a location. He found the location first, and says so, " The Arctic. In the northern islands in Canada," He searches more, trying to feel who the woman is. He recognizes her after he feels necromancy running through her body. He laughs, a sudden burst of sound more similar to a bake than anything. " It seems like your past has come back to haunt you, Isabel. "

"It's the truth!" The old man speaks quickly and hopes for the best.
Raven slowly nods her head. "What we're these two locations?"

Jackie names the first two cities that come to her mind when she thinks of the map, "Shanghai and Berlin. We'd been heading to Shanghai when we heard about Vegas, so we went there to try and save some civilians. Which failed, obviously," Jackie jerks her shackles for emphasis.

Altiera was thrown back in Dark's direction landing painfully on the ground a short distance to her left. Groaning the archdemon picked herself up pebbles and larger stones falling off of her she felt stares and looked to her right making eye contact with Dark she simply nodded before leaping back into the fray deflecting a blast from Fayde she switched her combat style abandoning her demonic abilities and returning to her elementalist power. Flames danced on her blade clashing with Fayde's spears she put more pressure on the godslayer getting collaborative backup from Lucien and Kai'zen they attacked not in unison but close enough to keep Fayde on his toes and constantly defending. "Now you're getting it, but how will you adjust to this?" Fayde was enveloped in his black energy and expanded it rapidly blowing the three attackers away knowing the lot of them back to Dark's feet. Altiera groaned and sat up her hair draping over her left eye her right glared murder at Fayde but glancing over at Dark breathing deeply and managing her temper there was a determined fire in her eyes.
