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

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. "

"What do you mean? Who is this person? Julius why can't I see any further into her?"


"That would require more training. Doing this much at the very beginning is far enough. Your time is up."





With that Witch ends up back in her usual conscious. She sits up and looks at Felix. "I'm leaving with Sunset and Alexandra since they seem to be the only ones able to go with me. I'll take a small group of guild members ready to go as well." Witch puts a hand on her head since she was slightly dizzy. "Sanctum when will the healing be done? I need Sunset to be at full strength."

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.

"It's the truth!" The old man doesn't hesitate to speak.


Raven slowly nods her head, believing it. "Alright then. Do you think Julie would come running if Emily's life was on the line?"

"Ashlyn, get over here," Alpha said, crossing his arms over his chest.

Apex didn't quite recognize Alpha. So she felt threatened while at the same time confused when some stranger ordered her to walk over to him with crossed arms.

[QUOTE="Kai'zen Makaira]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.

[/QUOTE]
Dark just glances back at Altiera. The sadness in her eyes deepening the longer she stares. "Are you alright?"

[QUOTE="Cadin shadow lord]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.

[/QUOTE]
Bruce's ki ball which had grown around him was able to block some of the blast from Isaac but he still kept his arms up as it fully smashed into him, making him skid back a ways. He could take the pain, this was nothing new to him after all. "Damn..." he said under his breath then launched a ki blast from his mouth at Isaac while still blocking Isaac's.

Isaac dodged the mouth blast and began charging another attack. He didn't charge this one as long as he did the other, he only held it for about thirty seconds before throwing it at Bruce.

Bruce had charged up his own attack as Isaac was, throwing it right at Isaac's and stopping it. "You need to work on charging up your attacks a lot faster. Most enemies won't wait for you to charge up an attack that can harm them, only if they're very cocky or if they're distracted by another opponent can waiting that long work."

"Well if I could use super charge my attacks like I use my super speed I would, but I don't think I can do that. Thanks for the advice too." Isaac responded, wondering if they were gonna take a break since they were casually talking.

"It's not that you need a super charge or anything, you just either need to learn how to charge up in the background and learn to charge up your attacks quicker. I think you've focused too much on that speed of yours. Don't get me wrong, it's a very useful and important skill but you can't forget about all your other attributes." Bruce was merely trying to give Isaac some tips for now.

"Hey I trained on getting my ki attacks stronger too it's just you can only get so far by yourself, and your the only other person I know who can use ki attacks sooo." Isaac responded.

"I told you to seek out my sisters... well you don't have to do that anymore since they're here now. I wonder what they're doing right now..."


The twins had sat down on the floor long ago across from each other with their legs crossed, engaged in training within the mind. They could only do this between themselves since their connection to each other was so strong.

"Well it's not like I knew where to start looking, you didn't tell me where to ho. Or maybe you did and I just forgot, I don't know."

 

[CelticSol]

"What do you mean? Who is this person? Julius why can't I see any further into her?"
"That would require more training. Doing this much at the very beginning is far enough. Your time is up."

I'll take a small group of guild members ready to go as well." Witch puts a hand on her head since she was slightly dizzy. "Sanctum when will the healing be done? I need Sunset to be at full strength."

Felix reaches out to steady her, but nods, his lips tightening into a thin line at the mention of Royal (Alexandra) going with them. He seems hesitant to speak, but says so quietly, "Be careful, Morgan. I don't have a good feeling about what will happen, or what you'll find when you get there. Just... take care of yourself."


Sanctum hisses in insult, sounding angry, " You act like healing you at all is an easy task, meatsack. Had it not been for my help, you would've been in that cocoon for at least another year. If one of your other mana's feeds me their power, it is possible for me to repair all three of you in four hours, but that's if we're lucky, and that's only if there isn't a complication."

"It's the truth!" The old man doesn't hesitate to speak.
Raven slowly nods her head, believing it. "Alright then. Do you think Julie would come running if Emily's life was on the line?"

Jackie shakes her head, "She may be her sister's kid, but, at least to me, Julie is a more of a rational thought kind of person when it comes to decisions like charging into someone else's home base. I don't think she would if it put the entire guild at risk on a split second decision. If she came at all, there'd have to be planning, which takes time. If you're thinking of using the kid as bait, then you're shit out of luck."

"Well now that the twins are here I guess it doesn't matter anymore. When we head back i'll ask for their help on charging ki faster." (Gotta go sorry.)

"It's me, Alpha."

"Alpha.... Alpha..." Apex had a lost look in her eyes along with a hidden sadness. "I think I know an Alpha but I don't recognize you." Even though she's registered him as a stranger in her mind she still didn't make an effort to shoo him off or question why he knows her name. She didn't even seem to try too hard on remembering either. She was barely keeping herself floating above the ground.

Felix reaches out to steady her, but nods, his lips tightening into a thin line at the mention of Royal (Alexandra) going with them. He seems hesitant to speak, but says so quietly, "Be careful, Morgan. I don't have a good feeling about what will happen, or what you'll find when you get there. Just... take care of yourself."

Witch lightly smiles at Felix and nods her head. "I'll be outside ready to leave." With that, Julius slithers by and sets her on his head. Witch decides to leave Felix a princess in his arms as a thank you note. "Don't take too long. We need to go but make sure she's able to handle some things. A lot happened over a year and not one of us are taking it well. I need her angry, not sad."

Sanctum hisses in insult, sounding angry, " You act like healing you at all is an easy task, meatsack. Had it not been for my help, you would've been in that cocoon for at least another year. If one of your other mana's feeds me their power, it is possible for me to repair all three of you in four hours, but that's if we're lucky, and that's only if there isn't a complication."

Witch focuses on her inner voice to respond to Sanctum. "I never realized that. I'm sorry for saying that Sanctum. Thank you for working as hard as you've been." Witch thinks about the whole mana situation. "If you needed mana you could have asked long ago. Dark seems like she doesn't want to use mana anymore so we can take some from her. Don't focus on me since I mostly rely on magic. Direct your healing to Sunset then Alexandra please. Does that sound alright?"

Jackie shakes her head, "She may be her sister's kid, but, at least to me, Julie is a more of a rational thought kind of person when it comes to decisions like charging into someone else's home base. I don't think she would if it put the entire guild at risk on a split second decision. If she came at all, there'd have to be planning, which takes time. If you're thinking of using the kid as bait, then you're shit out of luck."

"Is that the truth?" Raven to turns to the old man whom nods his head swiftly.


"Do you kno-." Raven's sentence was cut short due to the door opening to reveal the hooded woman.


"Change of plans. Directly from the founder herself. They know exactly where we are and we're expecting them to visit. We also know exactly where they are but she refuses to tell me. The founder wishes for us to dive more into her powers immediately. Even if you have to bring it down to the laboratory for our dear ally to investigate it. That is all." The hooded woman leaves once she gave the message.

Altiera simply nodded "Yeah I'm alright." Picking herself up she noticed that Fayde was approaching pushing his spear into one. "You ready for one on one?"

[/QUOTE]
Dark raises an eyebrow at Fayde's actions and words. "You two are doing a one on one?" Dark could still feel the passion for battle within her but was too afraid to try. She was giving it up forever. Fighting used to be like singing which was her best talent. It was also like dancing since she was good at that too due to coordination and footwork being sharpened in battle. "Never mind my question. Enjoy yourselves."

 

[Alterius]

Fayde raised a brow a look of mischief on his face he released his energy spear and dispersed his aura his previously massive energy simply vanishing. "If you'd like we can go back to basics and fight hand to hand, it'll keep your skills sharp and give you something to fall back on since the mana and exoskeleton is not an option. Altiera will have your act if you two want to tag team." Fayde looked at the two Altiera unstrapped her sword and cracked her knuckles, "I'm game, wanna show me what you got Alice?"

"I can't. I'm too weak right now." Dark was sitting down on the back of Carnage because her muscles were too weak. She could barely stand on her own. "Just woke up from a coma.... muscles weren't used for a year. Sorry...."

 

[Alterius]

Fayde nodded, he expected that answer but felt that it wouldn't hurt to ask he looked to Altiera and grinned, "Seems it's just you and me." Altiera looked to Dark and smiled, "Don't apologize, I'll just have to beanie twice as hard for you." Fayde rolled his eyes before whipping his left hand up catching Altiera's fist, it was clear neither of them were using their power but the speed at which they fought made it difficult to track their movements. Altiera turned out to be surprisingly adept at close combat controlling her movements and countering blows she struck Fayde hard in the chest driving him back.

As Dark watched she was slowly being reminded of the war. She could feel a burning sensation flare up on her skin. The guilt of knowing weapons were created through her power for the enemy comes crashing down upon her as well. She could feel slight tears coming to her eyes as she thinks about the destruction she had caused and what it brought upon herself and her own child, Emily's family. All because she wanted to unlock her hidden 'power'. She couldn't think about the destroyed towns and deaths. She wouldn't be able to face most of the guild members again without feeling like a traitor. "Carnage get me out of here." He voice was low because that volume was all she could muster.


"Hmm... If you say so." He turns away with her back and dashes off into the forest. Leaving the fight behind before Dark's condition gets worse. He could tell she was beginning to have a panic attack but sticking by the battle would make her think she's completely in the war again. Since she already had unsettling reminders from the individuals there already.

"Alpha.... Alpha..." Apex had a lost look in her eyes along with a hidden sadness. "I think I know an Alpha but I don't recognize you."

The hooded woman leaves once she gave the message.

The woman processes this a moment, then looks to the old man with furious eyes, realizing the lie in their testimonies. Stalking forward, she takes an axe off the wall, then throws her whole body into the swing of slicing his head clean off his body. Blood sprays Emily, Raven, Jackie's leg, and herself, as she picks up the head and sneers at Jackie. She tosses it into Jackie's lap, who's breath hitches as she tries to kick it off her lap. "I really thought you were smarter than that, girl," She snarls, grabbing Jackie by the hair and yanking her up so Jackie has to look at her, "You will pay dearly for your lies." She drops her, looking to the attendants. "Take her to the lab. Show her true punishment."


----


Felix looks at Witch distastefully, "Witch, she's my girlfriend, not a sex toy," He sets her down on the couch.


----


Sanctum sighs, then starts to heal them all. Royal, Witch, and Origin feel strength begin to steadily return to them, along with their previous stamina and other cognitive functions.

Witch turns around immediately, eyes wide. "What are you talking about? We've all lost a lot over the course of a year while we couldn't do a thing about it. I need Alexandra to be with someone to help her get herself together emotionally before we head out. I wasn't talking about sex!" Witch rubs the bridge of her nose and groans. "Felix... what am I going to do with you?"


Royal was sleeping but it seems like she was beginning to stir.


The Dark Arts members grab Jackie and take her towards the laboratory. They set her inside a room and lock the door. Which seemed to be 8 inches of steel. "I'm going to conduct some tests." A voice comes out of speaker in the ceiling. "Are you ready?" The person speaking seemed to be male.


Witch speaks to Sanctum in her mind again since she felt most of her abilities return to her. "Thank you. For now that will be enough since I think Dark and Apex won't end up in trouble. Is there anything you need from us? It's only fair."
