The power of five — Open RP

((OoC:Now..this is the first RP i'm making here.I've just recently become really active in RP's so..i kinda thought this one up..like few days ago.Also,please no more than about..4 or 5 peoples))

"In the old world,five bracelets were created,each holding the emmence power of the five gods.The people of the old world believed strongly of these gods,since they thought they created everything.There were the gods of fire,wind and the stars and the goddess's of water and earth.
Each bracelet was had a different color and depending on what color you have will depend on what power you could summon.
The fire bracelet summoned a great dragon,it's eyes burning,and only one who summoned it can touch it without a burn.The water bracelet summond an elegant serpant from the depths of the great blue.The earth bracelet summoned a great emerald green bird that could fly quicker than any living creature on the planet.The wind bracelet would bring forth a horse with large feathered wings mounted onto it's back.
Each of these creatures would do the bidding of whoever summoned them.."

"Wait..wait..what about the star's summon..?"Neko interupted with a smirk on her face.
The other children began to agree with her,but soon focused their attention back to the old sailor.

"Ay..well, that bracelet was never found.The people of the old world kept it secret because it's power is supposed to be so great that it could destroy the world in half a blink of me eye here" The one eyed sailor said as he pointed to his left eye.

The story soon ended and everyone returned back to work at the docks.The people mostly working here were strong sailors that travelled through sea,but a few orphans helped out as well,and Neko was one of them.She wasn't much of a fairytail person,she only listened to point out mistakes or because she had nothing else to do.
As Neko was helping with some crates,the old sailor from before stopped by her.She tried to ignore him at first,too busy to hear some more of his stories.

"I see that you aren't much of a ..fantasy believer,are ye?"He asked her,holding something in his hand as he limped next to her with his one wooden leg.

"Fantasy tales are for the youngins here that don't know any better.."She said to him as she dropped the box onto some large bags of flour.

"Well..Here ye go..maybe this'll make a believer outta ye"The old man said as he handed her a blue marble bracelet.

Neko gently took the bracelet.It was kind of heavy,made out of some blue marble.She observed it carefully,attempting to read the strange markings on it.They were oddly carved characters that she's never seen before.

"..The..water bracelet?"Neko said in somewhat disbelief.
As Neko looked up,she noticed the old man gone..vanished.
"Well..i guess this is mine.."Neko said as she slipped the marble bracelet around her wrist to show her friends.

Most of the other teens there were either orphans or their parents were sailors,although there were very few kids there anyways,so Neko knew most of the few that were there..

Sage quickly ran through the woods, his heart pounding.

Gotta....get back......go go GO!!!!! he yelled to himself as he leaped over a rock and tripped. He was sent into some nearby shrubs and he got up, shaking his head. There were some crimsion spots on his face, blood from the small thorns. He continued running, his legs wanting to give up.

Hell.....I'm not gonna make it! he shouted mentally as he came upon the hill that led to town. He stopped for about 5 seconds and ran down the hill, jumping over rabbit holes and houses to other animals. His pant leg got snagged on a turn and he was thrown off balance, his face heading right for the ground. He thrust out his wings and took flight, literally gliding down to the town.

He landed right at the docks and spotted the only face he knew....

"Neko-sama!~" he called out to his close friend, who was working with some boxes. He was covered in mud,cuts, and sweat, his arms limp at his sides.

"Neko-sama.....they're.....coming....." he said as he looked into her eyes. His blue eyes held a look of concern.

Hazel sat on a stack of netting, binding ropes together for the ships in port.  It was something she always liked to do.  Such mindless activity could take her mind away from more painful things, like memories...

She shut her eyes hard, pushing the thoughts away.  She didn't live that life anymore.  She was happy here.  Nothing else matters.  Just over, through, under and in, binding and weaving and threading is what to do.

...Which is what she was thinking when Sage came flying into town, shouting about pursuers.

Sage..? she thought.  What is...I didn't even know he had been here before...

She looked over to her one-time compatriot, then down at her half-finished rope, back to Sage, to the rope.  She gripped the harsh material roughly, angry at herself.  You selfish wench, she thought.  You would leave your old friends in potential danger just to protect your new life?  For shame!!

With a growl, Hazel threw the rope away into the waters nearby and ran over to the area Sage seemed to be heading towards.  She needn't draw his attention yet, she'd just wait to see what was wrong.

Delita sat in a small cafe when he saw a man running his life away when he tripped. Delita took out his bow ready for something to come out of the woods. He edged toward the docks, still aiming towards the woods.

Delita: Sage, are you alright?
Sage: Ughnn...
Delita: Damnit. I'll go check out the woods.. whatever may lie there.

Delita ran towards to woods, up the hill and into the darkness. It was quite calm, but Delita sensed something wrong amidst.

Heh... some fairy tail that was. Bracelets? HAH! How could such a femenine relic have such power! Said a skinny 15 year old boy.
"Yeah, here's a fairy tale for ya! You doing your work!" Replied his friend as he dropped a casket into a pile.
Work? Hah! I don't know the meaning of the word! The only work I know of is hunting and fighting with these metal knuckles of mine. Razz laughed as he tugged and adjusted the angle of his headband.
Just then, Razz saw a winged man fly towards the dock. As stubborn as he was, Razz tookl off to see what he was and what he was here for.
[OOC] Hope ya have room for one more...[/OOC]

The first face Neko saw was Razz,so she immediately walked towards him,looking down towards the terqouise bracelet.The wait didnt bother her that much now,and as she was udjusting it while walking,she noticed the inscriptions gave a strange glow as she neared Razz.

"Woah..Razz,look at this.."Neko said to him as she held her wrist out towards him.

As she did so,Neko pulled it back insuprised to hear the call of Sage running towards the two in pain.Showered over him were cuts and blood.Neko ran towards him and helped him over to some crates to sit on.

"Sage-kun..whats wrong?Who's they?Who's coming?"She asked him remembering what he yelled as he ran towards her.

Neko gave him a comforting hug and looked at the cuts and small thorns still attached to him clothes and wings.She removed as many thorns as possible as sage caught his breath so he could asnwer her..

Sage looked at Neko, a very weak smile on his face. He'd known her for about 5 months, and they were the best of friends. Ever since they met they'ed been really close. He snapped back to reality as she pulled out another thorn. He took a deep breath......

"I was out hunting.....and noticed something strange at Mount Rual......" he stumbled around a bit and took off his shirt. Three horizontal claw marks were on his lower back, one of them still bleeding. He sat back a bit and continued.

"There was something strange going on....." he trailed off. It happened so quickly. He recollected his thoughts and looked at Neko and Razz. He worried about them. He looked over them and others, and well, bad things were gonna happen.

"I entered the Cave of Phantoms and..........the seal was broken! A few demons were outside the cave!" he got a bit worked up, and began talking faster." I tried to fight but they were too strong! I wish I could of done more.....its not my fault, but if we don't tell the elders, then this town could be in danger!" he hopped off of the crates and fell over, a bit dizzy due to loss of blood. The ancient seal was broken, and the town in danger.....what more could happen?

"Wha!?"Neko said ,her eyes wide open.
"But how?No one goes near the Cave of Phantoms.."

Sage removed his torn and bloody shirt to reveal the deep wounds cut deep into his flesh.His black drenched in his own blood caused Neko give a loud gasp.She grabbed Sage's shirt,balled up into a ball and placed it on a rather deep wound,still bleeding.

"Come..we'll tell the elders..They'll help you with you're wounds while we're there.."Neko said to Razz and Sage as she looked over at a young lady who seemed to be looking at them.

Soon the three at the entrance of where the Elders met.It was a large structure,white with wooden doors.engraved on the doors were symbols althoug Neko hadn't any time to look at them better.She pushed open the door and helped Sage inside.

"Help!"She yelled out and left Sage with Razz.

Neko ran down to the largest of all the doors and turned the knob.Pushing it open she could see the Elders all sitting around a table,Some standing and a few sitting.

"Help please..the village may be in danger and my companion..friend is hurt badly.."She explained to them breathing hard..

Sage felt out of it. His loss of blood made him weak, and he just let Razz carry him. Something about getting the elders or something. For the time being, he would rest.

Three elders looked at the young girl and nodded, listening to her story. When she was done they spoke as if nothing was going on.

"It may be time......" the youngest one said and the other two nodded. He turned towards Neko and stood up, reaching for his worn out cane.

"It seems an evil presence has returned to this land.......we will send someone out right away." he gave her a warm smile and continued. "Until then, please bring your friend to the side room, the healer will be with you in a moment." he sat back down and closed his eyes. So it was coming.

((OoC: Sorry its so bad, I just didn't know what to write ^.^'')

Razz, limping under Sage's weight, carried Sage to a room in the back. While Razz was carrying him, he was very cautious not to touch any of sages wounds. In the room, there was a small bed in the corner. Razz layed Sage down on the bed as carefully as possible.
Oh, look what you did, Sage! Now my clothes are full of blood!They're all red now... well, they were red before, but now they're wet-red. Jeez, no respect.
Sage gave a faint and weak smile. His eyes slowly closed, and his head rolled off to the side.
Well, he's out."Appearently so." A man said as he walked into the room.
This man, was tall, his head almost bumped into the door frame as he entered teh room. His long white clothing shone brightly as the flowed with his footsteps like running water.
"Let me see what I can do."

[OOC]sorry, it was so bad... I didn't know what to write, either. =][/OOC]

((OoC:Razz,no Signatures please^^"))


A sigh clipped out of Neko's mouth,slowly changing to a bit of a smile and a nod towards the elders.She followed Razz into the room with Sage and sat on the other side,near his wounded head.She adjusted the pillow so his head would be more comfortable,and as she was doing so a tall man startled her.
Both and Razz and Neko watched as he entered the room and looked down at them humbly,and asked them to exit the room for the time being.Neko stood up and looked down at Sage..she knew he would be okay.Outisde the door was one of the Elders,the eldest of them.

"Your companion..Has seen something that We have tried to avoid for quite some time.."He began,his low gentle voice made Neko more calm.
"I fear that the seal wasn't broken though..it was opened..and must be locked once again..or even greater trgedy will be bestowed upon everyone across the lands and sea.." He finished and stopped,turning towards both Razz and Neko.

Neko stood there,not saying a word,suddenly she was nervous again for she knew what he was going to say next.

"The bracelet you wear..i noticed it as soon as you entered,and recgonize it.."He said,a smile now on his face.
"It is the bracelet of Amelia,the goddes of the water..may i please see it?"Now holding out his hand towards Neko.

She slid the marble bracelet off of her wrist and gently laid it in the Elder's hand.He observed it and read the markings written all across and around the bracelet in gold ink.

" 'From the depths of the ocean rests the liquid serpant only to be summoned by this sealing key in the time of need, nearing the apocolyps; joining of the elements will be the only way to life '.."The Elder translated,his fingers tracing the elgant writing.
"This Bracelet is not only a tool used to summon the great serpant,Daemorn, but also a sealing key..When all keys are brought together,then will the seal be once again closed..Neko,you seem to be one of the chosen.Having the bracelet in this time of need..you must seek the remaining four bracelets,with the help of you companions if they wish to accompany you.."

Neko stood shocked,her mouth as dry as ever.All she could do was look over at Razz,and when she opened her mouth to reply to what the Elder said but all that came out was a loud sigh.She looke dover at the closed door that Sage and the healer mage man were in.Her eyes narrowed and she looked up at the Elder and nodded her head in ageement to do the quest.

((Oo: Ack >< Bad post..My apologies everyone =\)

[OOC]Sorry aboot the sigs... man, I'm just absent minded.???[/OOC]

Woah, dude.... That's pretty... cha.
Razz was cluless as what to say...
But, I'm with ya all the way, Neko. You know... I've always wanted to do something with my life. I've always wanted to go someplace and do something of even the SLIGHTEST importance. But this... this is just... woah. But still, no matter what, my fists will aid you 'till it's over.
Razz got off in his train of thought.
Finally.... finaly these babies are gonna bleed!
Neko,"Uhhhh, Razz?"
huh? Oh, yeah, sorry...
Neko,"Elder... what must I do?"

[!] I don't have mush to post, so this one will be short [!]

After scouting the borders of the forest, Delita went to where everyone else would have went, the elder's.

Delita: I heard about the demons. I will be glad to accompany you if you would let me.

Razz: Who are you?

Delita: Well uh, Razz that is a good question..

Razz: How do you know me? none of us knows you!

Delita: Well, I am, or was one the the keepers of the seal. I don't know what happened to the new keeper, though.

Razz: That does't explain how you know my name..

Delita: We keepers know lots of things, Razz. We aren't all knowing, but we do know a lot. It's a part of us until we die, after we choose to be a keeper.

"N-neko-sama!!!" Sage shot out of bed, knocking over the healer by his side. Unknow to him his companion was on the others side of the door. He got up and fell over, his vision a bit blury. His back wound had finally closed up, now just a bad scar. He still had his cuts and bruises on his front side, and his legs were like rubber.

"Neko-sama....I'm sorry...." he said as a frustrated tear of sorrow rolled down his striped cheek. The healer tried to comfort him as he stumbled out of the room and saw Neko. He smiled a bit and fell forward, slipping into darkness. He knew it was only a dream, and now that he knew she was safe, he could sleep peacefully.

"He'll be alright, just about 2 more hours of healing and he should be done...." the healer said as Razz assissted Sage back to bed. Unknow that he would soon be fighting to protect....

At the Caverns....

A loud grumble was heard from the cave as all the demons (about 10) had gathered together. They jumped and rolled around as a massive claw emerged from the depths of the cave. Another limb emerged as a huge hand with spikes on the back of it came forth, pulling out a massive dragon/humanoid creature about two stories tall. It let out a loud shriek and soon the monsters were off towards the town, tearing down trees and killing anything in the way.

(The 10 monsters bounding around are not the super strong ones that fucked up Sage! XD Those ones went back into the cave. Lol Oh and dun like make it a one post kill for the boss. I'm hoping for a huge battle that will span a good 3 pages maybe XD I dunno if thats too much tho.

Razz jumped from his seat at the sound that he heard.
He looked around the room and saw the facial expressions of the people inside. The scilence was deadly, then finaly Razz spoke up.
W... what was that?
Elder,"It could have only been the demons."
Neko,"Well, that doesn't help. Sage hasn't even recovered yet!"
Hey you, Razz pointed at Delita, Come with me. Prove to me that you're on our side and see if we can find them and see if we can hopefully delay them... somehow.
Delita," Alright... Let's get going."
The two headed straight out of the door.

Delita and Razz headed out the door to see 6 Demons wrecking havoc on buildings. Delita got out his bow, and Razz got his great long sword out. Delita shot the arrow as Razz has never seen before.

Razz: !?

Razz's attention on Delita did not last for long, as the Demons were drawn by Delita's arrow.

Razz: Uh.. Delita. I don't think we can kill them.

Delita: Oh no? How about if we add a few more members to our party?

Delita conjured up some wierd looking magic and summoned some monsters and some elemental minions.

Razz: (What!? He can summon too?)

Delita handed a crossbow and some bolts to Razz.

Delita: Here. My minions will fight them and we can draw some of them to us so that they do not get overwhelmed. Razz nodded. Delita shot multiple arrows in a small amount of time, and Razz did the same. Half of the Demons came running after them. Razz and Delita kept using the same tactic; shooting and running. Delita headed towards Razz to see how he was doing.

[OOC]Delita, Razz uses metal fists, not a sword. [/OOC]

Man... this is boring, I'm not getting enough action like this!
Delita ran up to Razz.
Delita,"Razz, you doing fine?"
Yeah, but I'm not gonne use this thing anymore... long ranged just isn't my style.
Razz handed Delita the crossbow, but not the arrows.
Alright... I've been waiting for this moment all my life...
RAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!
Razz charged at one of the demons. The demon jumped at Razz. Razz quickly jumped over it, landed behind it, then kicked it into the air. Running after it, he took on of the arrows out. He threw the arrow at the demon in mid-air. The arrow just bounced off and barely put a scratch on the demon.
Ah, crap. I guess the arrow throwing thing ain't gonna work. Awell, I never expected it to anyway.
The demon landed with a big FLOP. He immediately got up and began to charge at Razz. With his arm in the air, he began a punching motion. Raz was cought off guard and quickly put his fist in the way, to block it. If Razz's fist wasn't there, the demon would've plunged his three claws deep into Razz's skull. The force of the demons blow was incredible. But since it couldn't pierce through the metal on Razz's hand, it's claws were pushed all the way back, right into the hand. The demon cried out in pain. Razz looked at his weapon. When he looked, he found three dents. the dents were about the same width as the arrow heads, that he had on his arrows. Razz got an idea. He ran behind a tree, so he was out of sight, and took out three arrows. He ripped off the arrow heads, and stuck them in the dents in his metal knuckles. They were hard to get in, so they wouldn't fall out if Razz's life depended on it. Razz got out of hiding and took a look at the demon. The demon was still standing there, crying in pain. Razz dashed towards it in incredible speed. From there, he began to pummel the beast like there was no tomorrow. But, he made sure that all of his blows with his right fist(the one with the arrow heads) hit the demon in the head. Eventually, the demon died. Razz stood back, and watched it's sould rip out of it's body. The soul was really a beautiful sight, but it struck horror into Razz's eyes. The demons soul then burst into flame, then disappeared.
Razz whiped the sweat off of his forhead.
Now, that was a work out.
Razz looked behind him at the other demons.
Oh yeah... I don't think me and Delita are gonna last too much longer. His summoned monsters are already beginning to weaken. I must find Delita and see if Sage is back to normal. Maybe then, we can get everybody and get ridda these punk-azz-bishes!
[OOC]my apologies for the inapropriate language... that's just Razz's style. =] Woah, that was long post for me! =][/OOC]

[!] Ah, sorry. Not paying attention eh? Oh yeah and crossbows use bolts, not arrows. [!]

Delita laughed at Razz's unexpected resourcefulness. Delita himself was starting to feel his minions weakening, so he ran over there to see 3 Demons pummeling down the summons. They showed incredible resilliance to the blows, however. Delita shot 3 simultanious arrows into the unsuspecting Demon's back and it screamed as it charged at Delita. Delita jumped out of the way just in time and got back up.

Delita: Shazbot! I got to get him somehow. Dang Razz.

Delita shot more arrows by the second. After only 3 minutes, the body of the Demon was pelted with more than 50 arrows. Delita had run dry. The Demon was dripping mass amounts of blood. Delita grabbed the part of his bow that was overlapping the bowline and pulled out a very thin, curved blade and thrust it right into the Demon's face. the Demon gave a pathetic screech and feel forward, thrusting the arrows even more into it's body, then it blew up into a soul and disappeared.

Delita: I need a bigger quiver..

Another Demon fighting the summons came at Delita with a big, ground breaking walk. The Demon put his fists up into the air waiting to bash at Delita. Delita rolled under the Demon's legs and stabbed the Demon multiple times in the back. Afterwards, Delita ran towards Razz. Razz got the message and jumped from his position to the behind of the Demon. The Demon turned from Delita and Delita stabbed it some more. Razz kept thorwing all of his power into a jab up the Demon's stomach, and after a long round of that, he finally uppercutted the Demon's chin, which split the Demon's face into to pieces. The Demon died.

Razz: One of your minions has died. Let's hurry over there!

Delita nodded and they both ran the the 2 summon taking the 1 Demon left fighting them. The summons came victorious and were unsummoned by Delita.

Delita: Two more to go; they're over there. Go together, or split up, Razz?

Hmm.. that's a tough o-
Before Razz could finish the sentence, the felt a rumbling in the ground. Razz looked up and saw all of the birds fly away, out of the forest. Then he looked down and saw random animals begin to run away. The rumble came again, but this time it was bigger.
That... doesn't sound very good.
Delita,"Nope. Not at all."
We should go back and get the others.
Delita,"But what about the two other demons?"
Razz sighed.
There was another, even more extreme rumble.
Forget'em! We gotta hurry!
The two took off into the direction of the elders house. To Razz's suprise, Sage and Neko were waiting for them, right there.
Neko,"You heard the rumble too?"
Yeah... and felt it.
Razz looked over at Sage.
Ah! I see you're doing better. You think you're strong enough to fight?

Sage smiled and nodded. He stretched his blue wings and drew his Katana.

"I'm sorry about before. I was careless.....now I..." he paused, shaking his head, and went on. He looked at Neko and smiled looking back to the two young men. His smile soon faded as a building litterally feel in on itself, revealing 3 more demons and the huge Dragonoide. He grimaced at the sight of its extream size and build and shook his head over to them.

"I've lived here for 3 years. No way I'm letting this happen. The Elders Guardians will protect the people, I'm fighting!" he said as he ran out towards the battle feild. When he got there, he was in awe of the nassive creature. Way bigger than the three that jumped him.

"I'll protect my friends no matter what....." he muttered as his companions joined him.

(Now you guys are going way too fast and thats not bad, but give Neko and Shajde a chance to post XD!))

[OOC] Oops... my apologies. But it's so addictive! XD[/OOC]

Razz saw Sage run up to where the enormous beast was. Razz quickly looked around then began to run up to Sage. When he got there, he was shocked at the size of the thing.
You're not doing this alone, man.
Sage,"Razz... you might get hurt."
No, you're wrong. I am gonna get hurt!... then I'll blame it on you afterwords, but that's besides the point.
Razz looked up at the huge creature.
Okay, I'll get the third toenail on the left foot, you get the third toenail on the right.
Sage cracked a slight smile, but what there was faded as quick as it came.
Sage,"Razz, this is no time to be cracking jokes!"
Sorry... it was jsut so tempting.

Delita had his arms crossed over his cheast while everyone was setting a battle plan.

Delita: Hahaha! That's a good one Razz! Oh, and does anyone know what kind of dragon it is? Every monster has a type right? find it's weakness and strike!

Razz: I've no clue what kind of dragon it is. I guess we'll find out! Let's go!

Razz chased after the battle-eager Sage to assist. Delita went to the weapon shop to find the shopkeeper away. Delita just took some arrows and left some gold on the counter and followed after Razz.

Delita: (Holy Mother of earth.. how are we going to kill that thing?)

Razz: Hurry up Delita!

Both looked up to see how Sage was doing.

[!] Crappy post huh? [!]

((I know it is, but Shajde is like dead, but this is going so good with you two here! ^.^))

Sage rushed forward towards the beast, his eyes narrowed and sword drawn. The sleek katana seemingly came to life in a series of slashes as the blade danced along the dragonoide's leg and arm. It gave him this pissy look and swung at him, but he quickly dodged. He kicked off its nose and towards the others chanting. He thrust up his arm and a wave of crystals surrounded him, Razz, and Neko.

"This guy is no joke. As a demon of his class, he has no weakness. So we boost our defense, and don't work to heavily on magic...." he said breathing a bit too hard for starting off such a short time ago. Razz looked at him funny.

"When did you become a strategiest?" he asked laughing to ease of the tension. Sage smiled and looked him right in the eyes.

"When did you become such a smart ass? Wait...you've always been one! Huh? Where is Delita?" he shot back as a demon lunged off a building at the three warriors intent to kill. Sage was completly off guard as this took place but he stood his ground, sword held tight. The demons eyes were fixed right on Neko as it let out a blood currdling scream.

((There! I gave Romi an opening! lol XD Give her a change, I'll presuade her to post :3))\n\n

((OoC: =X Sorry everyone..i'ma posting,lol^^"My apologies for being inactive..=) ))

Neko unsheathed her short blade and took her fighting stance.She watched as everyone began to attack it at once,each seemed to leave enough time for a joke or so inbetween attacks.She rolled her eyes with a slight grin,and glared at the huge beast,preparing to attack.It returned the glare and gave out a loud scream as it spread it large wings and charged towards her. A bit nervous,Neko stood her ground and waited for the appropriate moment to attack.
But a few feet distance from her now,Neko began to charge as well,letting her battle instincts take over now.
The huge dragonoid swung at her,jumping back,Neko quickly jumped onto the scaley arm of the beast.began to attempt to shake her off,twisting and turning in it's place as it did so.
Neko began to lose her balance and fell back off of the dragonoids arm.As she gasped,Neko struck her blade into the arm of the beast,holding on for dear life now.The beast gave another scream like roar,and  began to try and pick her of it's arm with it's loose hand.She clawed desperately at it's skin,and climbed up before it had the chance.Now more aware of the slippery scales,she quickly and carefully climbed up it's arm towards it's back.
The only thought that ran through her head was to get off this creature alive.She looked down at her companions and friends,they all looked back up at her,they seemed ready for anything.
With a quick breath,Neko pierced the back of the beasts neck as hard as she could.blood dripped from the wound,and under her leather boots,making it difficult to stand.Before too long,Neko slipped and jumped of the back of the beast,removing her blade from it's flesh.She quickly ran over to Sage and Razz,blood dripping from her sword and deep breaths coming from her mouth.
The huge beast,tried desperatley to reach back towards the deep wound Neko's blade had created,still thinking she was there.it had little luck though,his claws only reaching to right above his head.

"..Whats that thing doing in this part of the lands?"Neko finally said standing upright now.
The dragon finally realized Neko was already on ground now,and turned towards the group.

((OoC:Sorry for the kinda bad post..i didn't really know what to write^^"))

((Glad to see ya posting :3 ))

Sage looked at Neko a bit in awe. She must of been in practice while he wasn't aware of it. Maybe after this is all over he could get some practice in with her. He grinned and looked up at another demon coming from the side, two more in back.

"Ummm....guys, we seem to be surrounded....I'll take the two in the back you guys-"

"Sage...." Neko cut him off. "Don't work to hard, let us help you...." she said, looking him dead in the eyes. He shook his head and laughed.

"I'm alright I told you! You two stick it together and take on the other demon. After these little shits are gone, We can take out big and ugly..." he laughed and turned his backs to them, stumbling a bit.

Dang....almost lost my footing.... he was glad they didn't notice. He stood tall, sheathing his sword. His wings formed an aura blue set over his pyhsical set, and he hovered a foot of the ground. He clenched his teeth at a searing pain in his back, and then tensed his arms.

"Ahhhh.....Pheonix!!!!!" He shouted out as he turned into a mere blue blurr, rushing right inbetween the two and spinning, rolling past the two creatures with a wave of flames washing over them. He landed into a skid and rushed in a half circle, now on his feet. He charged the agonizing demons and leaped at one, bringing down his katana and brandishing it into the helpless monsters skull. The other had already seen him coming, and leaped into him, bringing his shoulder into Sage's side.

The young man let out a gasp of suprise and was thrown off, his sword still lodged in the demons brain. He tried to get up but it was too late, the demon had pounced. He brought his feet up and pushed up just as the demon was about to bury its teeth in him, yet he knocked his jaw out of place. They both laid on the ground, trying to get up. Sage was the first to get up.

"Son of a bitch.......crap...." he looked at his arms. His vision was in two. He tried to estimate how far the monster was and got into a defensive stance, chanting.

"VitalIZE!" he shouted, thrusting his hands forward. Lil drops of angels tears rained down on him, and he regained his senses and balance. He blinked twice and grinned.

"Now you little cheap shot......Get up you pathetic bitch." he walked over to him and heard something stir from left of him. Too late. Another demon hand just blind sided him and he was sent packing into a pile of crates.

"Not my day I tell you....." he mumbled as he stood up and wobbled around for a bit, then got into fighting stance. Two to one. Not good. He powered up a typhoon spell and sent it out, but only one creature leaped through it. The fight continued!\n\n

[!] You're posting just fine, Romi. It's ME that's the problem. Ha ha ha... Oh yeah, and how big is this dragon? Like Redwood tree big or just normal forest tree big? [!]

Razz and Delita took the Demons that were facing Sage. Delita winked at Razz and they both rolled to the side of each Demon and threw everything at it. The Demons Delita was taking care of had lost more than half of it's torso from the near paper-thin blade from his bow, while Razz's Demon had fallen down from the suprisingly quick attack. The both of them ran behind the recovering Demons and attacked some more.

Razz: How much can these things take!?

Razz bashed simultaniously with his speech and the Demon had finally recovered enough to counter Razz. Razz dodged the big bulky Demon with relative ease, then striked once more. Delita, on the other hand just kept slashing at the Demon without any knowledge of weather he was doing anything at all, or if he was really killing it. Delita wasn't very well trained in melee combat. By the time the Demon had fallen to the ground, the Demon looked like something that came out of a very large meat grinder, still with bones. Both Razz's and Delita's Demon had burst into flames and died as the other ones did.

Sage: Thanks, you guys. I was getting a bit---

Sage was cut off by a loud roar from the monster Sage desribed as "big and ugly". All of the had to agree that it was quite big and ugly.

Razz: Oh crap, here he comes!!

Razz quickly ran up to Big Ol' Harry. He leaped into the air, getting ready to attack. As soon as he was close enough to the beast, it kicked him, sending him flying back. Razz landed near the group, on his back.
He looked up and said, This'll be fun... We're gonna need to stratigize for this.

[!] Pretty short, but still good I guess [!]

Delita: Hey Razz, catch!

Delita threw a books titled "Mixed Units and Tactics" and Razz caught it. Razz threw it at the dragon and hit it in the face. the dragon roared with fire out of it's nostrils.

Delita: !? Razz!! That was my only copy!!! RAWRR!!

Razz: Ha ha h-- gahh!

Razz got knocked out off his feet by the dragon who was already spitting fire at Sage. Sage flew away to the back of the dragon and slashed at it. Delita got out of his rage at Razz and attacked the dragon with arrows. Delita carried some extra back from the shop. Razz recovered from his fall and took the dragon's side.

Razz: (I guess Delita has the front.) Be careful Delita!

Razz punched and jabbed at the hard, scaley skin, barely able to do any damage at all. Delita had picked out some good arrows and was doing fairly better. Delita turned to Razz and Sage to see how they were doing.

Well, I've been practicing this move for a while... let's see how it fairs.
Razz lifted his hand into the air. Motioning it towards the beast, Razz shot a blast of fire at the beasts face. The dragon's face twitched, then carried on.
Hmmm... not strong enough... Well, time to be creative!
Razz ran up to the giant figure. With the momentum he gained, he ran right op the beasts side, then landed on it's shoulder. He then put his fists ablaze, then stuck his fists in each of the Dragonoids eyes. The gigantic beastscreamed out in pain, causeing Razz to fall.
Gah! My back... Grrr, I'll have to deal with it.
Razz stood up.
GRAAH!
He yelled out in a bit of pain.
This is some of the worst pain I;ve had in my life... no matter, I must fight. But the scales are too hard! I can't hurt it by punching... hmmmm...
Razz took a glance at the foot of a near tree. A blacksmith had been there earlier, and he must've forgot his hammer. Razz smirked, then ran to get it. As he lifted teh heavy tool, his back was put in more pain. But Razz jsut tried to ignore it and ran on to the dragonoid.
Take this you punk-azz-bich!

[!] Razz and I are rally active huh? [!]

Delita kept shooting arrows until he wasted half of all the arrows. The dragon belly and part of it's arms were full of arrows. The dragon was hardly bleed because of the dragonscale hide.

Delita: ( Crap! Not doing enough damage. Think! ) Hey Sage! Give me an ice spell and draw it into my blade!

Sage: Sure thing, Delita.

Sage conjured up an ice spell and drew it ice-cold into Delita's blade. Delita thrust it into the dragon body and left it there for it to freeze the dragon.

Razz: It's starting to get numb I think! Keep attacking everyone!

Sage danced around the huge dragon, slashing here, stabbing (to no avail) there. He was doing alright when he realized the town was being destroyed.

"This is bad!" he yelled as he motioned to the right of himself. A clearing sat right outside the town and Sage flew infront of the monster, shooting balls of wind into its eyes.

"C'mon ugly!~" he sang out, flying backwards until he knew they were out of the town. He landed and heard a huge rumbling from behind. Was there another one coming?

"Oh S***!!!!" he yelled out as three boulders came crashing down from the sealed cave. No doubt thanks to the monsters. He sidestepped one as it rolled on by, taking out about five buildings in town. The second had came right at him, and he flew up a bit, easily avoiding that one. He turned back to see it ram into the dragonoide and knock it over.

"You stupid monster!!" he laughed, not knowing there was a third, smaller boulder coming straight for him. It hit a slope and was shot into the air. Sage turned around just as it hit him and a loud thunk and a gasp of air could be heard as he was sent downward. He landed in a huge muddy area and just lied there. He had a broken arm most likely, from the way the rock hit. He looked up and saw the dragon glaring right at him.

"Ughhhhh.......F***" he said, just letting his body fall in the mud. He had only been fighting a bit but he was completly spent. It was all up to Neko, Razz, and Delita.\n\n

The dragon had just about been paralyzed, only flinching at Razz's and Delita's attacks. Delita kept stabbing with some arrows and Razz pounded with a hammer and fist. Sage crawled back and lean against the crates Razz had fallen onto earlier and cast some healing spells.

Eventually the dragon cracked from all the hits and fell into the dirt road.

Delita: Thanks for the Ice, Sage! You helped out a lot.

Razz: Yeah! We beat it!

Delita: And now i have to beat you for ruining my book!

Razz and Delita brawled on the ground with hand-to-hand combat and both just exhausted each other out and ended up not talking to each other for the rest of the day.

When all woke up from sleep, it was about first light the next day.

Sage: What do we do now? We still have that cave to take care of.

Neko watched as Sage fell to the puddle of thick mud.Cautiously she ran over and aided him back to three large crates which were out of site and way of the beast.She left him,sure that he would be safe there for the time being.
As Neko turned and looked around at the village,half destroyed,he bit her lip knowing that the Elder's would not be very proud of the destruction caused.For now,she would forget about the elders and ran over to Delita and Razz.
After a time of battling,the beast became exausted and collapsed to the ground,blood dripped from all the wounds that Sage,Razz and Delita had left all over it's scaley hide.
Sunset was now upon them,and villagers left their houses observing the damage done to their houses.They began to talk to one another,knowing who had caused the damage.Neko sighed and walked over to Sage knowing that they were all in quite a bit of trouble.Yet,to her suprise,they began to applaud.Neko stood shocked and quite relieved.The villagers were grateful that the beast was destroyed,and with the money they make working on

The night was silent,only the midnight sound of crickets filled the room.Neko sat in her bed gazing out the window.The marble bracelet still rested on her wrist,she had hardly noticed it since she was used to the weight by now.

"I suppose tomorrow our journey begins.."She thought toherself letting out a relaxing sigh as she looked over at Sage,asleep on a wooden chair across the room.

He was brought up well,and always gave Neko her space.Probably more than she would ever need.His wings were wrapped around himself and the chair for warmth and he seemed to be sleeping peacefully.Neko smiled and slipped under the warmth of her own blankets,and after a while of thinking,she soon fell into a most calming sleep.
Morning came much to soon for her,and everyone seemed to be awake already,so she too jumped out of bed and made herway downstairs towards the lobby.Delita,Razz and Sage were all waiting for her.She didn't suspect for too long though,since they all still looked tired and yawns crept from a few of their mouths.Neko said nothing of it as she stretched her arms and smiled at everyone.
Outside,the noise of hammers and saws came through the walls of the inn.As Neko looked out the window,she was amazed to see how quickly the village was being repaired.Most of the houses were already fixed to the way they were before and families and shop keepers aided the ones who had yet to finish.Neko quickly returned her attention back towards Sages question.

"Well..the cave seems to be sealed by the collapsed boulders from within itself.I will be sure to tell the elders about setting up troops,just in case a few more break through."Neko said as she scratched her arm.
"Well,i guess we should meet with the elders once more..i'm sure they'll thell us where the other bracelets can be located.."

Delita: I don't know what I'm going to do... I'm just a retired keeper and I don't know where any of the bracelets are. I guess I will just a get another copy of my ruined book..

Delita exchanged a firey look with Razz and went back to talking.

Delita: ..and go back to my home. It is proabably destroyed, but I can rebuild it.

Razz: (I guess we can all trust him now..) But wait! You have great fighting skills. Why don't you ome with us to find these bracelets. We will have a better chance with more numbers eh?

Sage: Yeah. You and Razz sure saved my hide back there.. although I could have taken it on all by myself! Hah!

Delita was silent for a moment.

Delita: Well, I guess I DO need to save Sage every time we get in a battle...

Sage: What did you say!?

Sage tried to get up from the bed but flew back down into the mattress in pain. Delita and Razz snickered.

Razz: So that's it huh? Welcome to the party, Delita.

Neko: We had better resupply. We won't stand a chance in the wilderness without and potions and cures.

All: Agreed.

(Bravo on your post Romi! Can we get an encore? :D ))

The group of young warriors set out to the elders place, all talking about the previous day&

(Bravo on your post Romi! Can we get an encore? :D ))

The group of young warriors set out to the elders place, all talking about the previous day's battle.

"Always in trouble, huh Sage?" Delita laughed as he mocked Sage, using his bow as a walking stick. Sage shot him an angry look and grinned, supporting himself with his Katana.

"Well at least I get up close and personal with the monsters, ya lil wuss." he laughed. "Besides....I was only half recovered from my wounds when I was fighting." he continued grinning, leaving a bit awe struck Delita behind. He quickly caught up with the group just as they arrived at the gathering place of the head elders. They entered and were imedatly lead to the main chambers. 3 old men and one old woman sat upon a raised altar, looking down on the young band of fighters.

"Our town almost witnessed destruction. But you four banded together, and fought for its protection. Even men twice your age cowered in fear, as you were at deaths clutches the whole time. We thank you for that." the female elder spoke. The other 3 nodded. The youngest continued.

"We already know of what your goals plan to be, and we would like to help but.....we have no information on these bracelets." he looked down and Sage knew it was all the truth.

"But, where shall we start?" Sage asked, standing up straight, admist the pains in his back. The elders shook their heads. A guard to their left cleared his throat and spoke up.

"Pardon me for sticking my nose in your buisness but I heard Avrik had a huge Trade center and Bazaar. Perhapes you may find what you are looking for there?" he took a single step back to his post and said not another word. Neko shook her head and sighed. Sage nodded his head and spoke up.

"Avrik is over the ocean. We have no ship. Its way too far to swim. We need a way over there." he looked over to Razz and Delita, who both nodded in agreement.

"I'm sorry young ones, but, we do not have enough funds to lend you your own ship. You need to find someone who will lend you theirs." they said and with a wave of their hands, they left. Outside Neko and the others began to think of ways to get a ship.

"Well,thank you anyways.You have done more than enough for us already and we're grateful for that much."Neko said as she bowed.

After everyone had left the council of elders,they stopped upon the steps.Neko plopped down onto one of the steps and rested her chin in the palm of her hand.She began to think of some way of transportation to Avrik.Closing her eyes,she gave a sigh and began to brainstorm for a possible good idea.

Avrik,a great trading town mostly famous because of that.It was a tropical place,but the people there were just as ordinary as the people here.The docks were better built,more sturdy and able to dock more cargo ships than the one here since they traded more often there than here.Neko knew a bit about it,either through books or just young sailors willing to boast a bit.
They told of how pearly white the beaches were and children often played there,building sand castles or catching sand crabs,but Neko didn't normally listen for too long since the young sailors would talk about the flawless women there.

"..ship..ship..docks....hey.."She said under her breath as she looked up at her companions.She grabbed onto the pearl railing and helped herself up.
"At the Docks..maybe there's a cargo ship readying to leave to Avrik,to trade supplies.Maybe we could exchange helping them load cargo for a ride over there.."She said to everyone.
"Well..it's the best i could think of at least"

(OoC: Sorry i'm leaving right now so didn't have too much time to post something good))

Sage nodded in aggrement, wincing at the occuring pain in his back. Why was he the only one to get torn up in battle?

No time to be a little wuss about it.......we have work to do! he looked out towards the docks. Miraculously, they had survived the battle with the fierce dragonoide. They stood upright in the water, a good 20 feet above the glistening waves. It was early morning, so they most likely had alot of work to give. He began to walk with the rest of the group, as they made their way towards the docks.

They had arrived at the docks and immedatly spotted a ship that could use some help packing up. Sage hastily walked over and began talking with the lead foreman, and soon found work for him and the others.

"Great news you guys! All we have to do is move those crates onto the ship and we have it made!" he said pointing over to a very small pile of crates. They got to work and were done very quickly. Razz gave Sage an awkward look.

"You sure thats all?" Razz asked him, eyeing him cautiously. Sage grinned and waved his hand in the air.

"Not really, but its nothing big. I'll tell ya later!" he said as they boarded. Soon they were in the middle of the ocean, sailing gently on the seas calming waves. Sage was watching the horizion, waiting for land to come into view. Suddenly a scream was heard from the back of the ship.

"Pirates!!!!" A young voice wailed as Sage and the others rushed to the back of the ship. Razz shrugged it off.

"Not our problem...." he said turning back around. Sage jerked him by the shoulder.

"Actually, my friend, I bought our way on saying we will protect the ship. It goes down, we go down. But since I made the deal, I'll fight alone if I must..." he backfliped and spun 180 degrees, diving down inbetween the ships. Right before he hit the water he pulled upwards, suddenly coming into a pirate's line of vision. He spun and knocked one out, then made his way along the ship, taking out a few here and there. He knew there were alot more below deck. So he needed to sink the ship rather than fight.

((Sorry so lame, my meds are kicking in... >.<))\n\n

Delita: That Sage...

Sage a bashed the rest of the pirates into submission and they went fleeing.

Sage: Hah! Scum eating lowlifes!

Razz: Good show, Sage.

Delita: Yes.

Shipmaster: Another night and we are in Avrik, fellas.

Razz and Sage went drinking some ale in the back cabin. Neko sat out in the starboard side of the deck, staring at the stars.

Delita: Boo!

Neko: !! You scared me, Delita! Don't do that again.

Delita: Hahaha I couldn't resist! But sorry anyway. So what are you looking at?

Neko: Oh nothing, just the sky.

Delita: Yeah, it's beautiful. Oh hey, I have something for ya, Neko.

Neko looked at Delita questioningly. Delita reached in his pouch and took out a red bottled potion.

Neko: I can't take this..

Delita: Just take it! You have more use for it than me. Besides, your life is worth more than mine.

Neko: You can't say that!!

Delita: Just take it.

Delita walked off leaving Neko angry, and in disposition.

Neko: (Why am I worth more than him in his mind? I don't understand...)

Delita walked into the cabin and saw Razz and Sage drunk out of their heads.

Razz: Hey -hick- Deliter -hick-...

Razz passed out on the floor.

Delita: Hahaha! He is going to sleep well tonight. I can tell.

Sage: -hick- -hick- -hick- *plop*

Sage passed out on the floor.

Delita backed out of the room and found Neko behind him.

Neko: Delita, I --

Delita cut her short with a finger on her lips. He walked off again.

Neko: Come back here this instant!

Delita: What do you want with me?

Neko: Tell me, why is my life worth more than yours?

Delita: Just because. I am a keeper remember? And we know many things. I can't explain this one, and I can't tell you the answer to your question. But I know for some reason that you are worth giving this potion to. Got it? Now keep it for your life. I fear for you. I have no value in this lifetime. But I sense that you do.

Neko: ....

Delita went to his cabin to retire.

Delita: That Sage...

Sage a bashed the rest of the pirates into submission and they went fleeing.

Sage: Hah! Scum eating lowlifes!

Razz: Good show, Sage.

Delita: Yes.

Neko: ....

Delita went to his cabin to retire.

Delita walked off leaving Neko standing near her two passed out compatriots.She looked down at the red potion in her hand.She couldn't get the baffled expression off of her face.

"..Hmm..I can heal myself just fine.."She thought to herself. She smiled and walked over at the two drunken bodies on the floor.

Around them,soaked in the ships wooden floor was the biru that the two had been drinking that evening.Where it spilled was now a more vibrant color,taking the color of the biru.
Neko sighed and picked up the epmty bottles lying next to Razz and Sage,placing them by a window.
Neko finally got the two into the cabins down below,dumping them into two seperate bunks.

"Heh..goodnight guys,"She said to them,knowing how too much alcohol and ocean was a bit of a bad mix.

She closed the door behind her and headed bqack upstairs to clean up as much as the stained floor as she could before the captain would see it.
As Neko was thinking about the bracelet,she was suddenly shoved off of balance.After gaining it back,she turned to see the ship from before riding close to the cargo ship.Some men in worn out clothes began to board the cargo ship.Neko yelled for everyone to wake up but had difficulty.
One scawny looking pirate came towards her,gripped tightly a gun in one hand and his blade in the other.Neko unsheathed her blade and did her best to avoid his sword to get any closer to her.After a few minutes of battling,some of the crew from the ship came up and a battle between pirate and sailor commenced.Through the large crowd,Neko began looking for her companions but had hardly any luck.Only getting quick glimpses here and there but never being able to get very close.
As she was defending herself from yet another thin looking pirate,a large sailor battling nother backed up,knocking her over the edge.His attempt to grab her failed and she tumbled over,into the black ocean.
She struggled to the surface,but the two ships above her made it difficult to reach the surface.She could feel her breath running out as she scratched at the bottom of the ships,they shifts back and forth from the weight of the sailors.Neko had little energy left,sucked away by the ice cold ocean,and she began to sink towards the depths of the darkness.

Neko felt very sleepy and everything seemed bl

Neko felt very sleepy and everything seemed blurry,but a flash of light in fron tof her appeared,and suddenly her lungs were filled once again with air as well as some of her energy returned.As if this wasn't a big enough shock,in front of her was a large bluish green serpant,staring at her with blinding white eyes.
it made the first move,and moved under Neko.She gripped on tightly around the neck of the serpant as it swam towards the surface of the ocean.It shot out of the water and dropped Neko of the deck of the cargo ship.Shivering she looked around at all the still bodies lying on the ground and the wounded still fighting.
Everyone stopped and looked at the blue serpant.It glared at everyone on the deck,the set it's eye on the pirate ship.Without a sound it submerged back into the ocean ,Neko could feel as it swam under the ship.Within an instant,the pirate ship was destroyed into a thousand pieces.Pirates within it flew into the air and their flag burnt before it was able to fall onto the ocean surface.
Neko sat in shock,as she watched only the tail fo the serpant return under water.She looked down at her bracelet and noticed the markings had been gone,but just as quickly as she noticed,they returned..

((OoC:lol..kinda bad but erm..yeah^^" sorry for any typos,had to type this quick because i have chores to do.))

[OOC]Sage, I'm disapointed. The way you made Razz seem, he'd never do that! He would never ditch an oportunity to save someone's life. And Delita... Razz wouldn't drink, and defenatly not get drunk. But meh, it's all good 8D. Well, anyhoo...[/OOC]

When Razz awoke from his unconcious sleep, it was already light out. He looked over to his right, and there was Sage on the floor beside him. Razz pushed his arms, and tried to get up.
GAH!
Razz let out a small shout at the pain in his back and fell back tot he ground.
Oh yeah... I fell off of the freak'n dragon thing.
Razz quickly shot up from the floor beneath him. The pain was decently bad, but Razz tried to ignore it. He knew that it would go away eventually. He looked down at Sage to see him slowly awake. The noise Razz made must have woke Sage up.
Sage,"AH... my back still hurts."
Your back still hurting ya?
Sage," Just a little."
Well... have you ever heard of the theory of re-located pain?
Sage," Uh... I don't think so."
Well, it goes like this...
Razz pounded his foot on Sage's right hand... but just hard enoguh to hurt, but not do any damage.
Sage," OW! What was that for!!"
Sage got up and punched Razz.
Heheheh... see? It worked!
Sage," Huh?"
Hah, you forgot all about your back!
Sage just stood there and kinda ponered the statement.
Razz did a little dance and quietly sang to himself I was right... I was riiiight.

[OOC]Sorry it was so bad... but meh. It's all good.[/OOC]

((Okies, Delita, Sage would never drink, so yeah! ^.^ And Razz, sorry, I got this image bout you like a hardcore mofo kinda guy, so I apologize. ^.^ ))

Sage tackled Razz through a door and looked up to see Neko looking at the two, a smile crept up on her face.

"You two...." she said as she headed for the deck. Sage pulled up Razz and followed, and saw the huge mess.

"Holy crap......what on earth happened?" he said in awe as the waves gently answered with a light sploshing sound. He looked back at Razz who had given him look just as lost as his. Neko began to explain and Sage shook his head.

"Well no wonder I didn't hear anything! Razz's snoring was waaaaay too loud!" the Windian said with a grin. Razz punched him on the arm and then a sailour called out.

"Land ho!!!!!" he cried out as everyone sprung up from their spots to see the mainland coming up. The noon sun hit the decks just right, giving them a breath taking view.

"Amazing....." Sage sputtered out as they neared the docks.\n\n

[!] Yeah right, you guys get drunk in EVERY RP! Lol j/k. Sorry then. [!]

Delita was the first to step onto the wooden docks. Someone snatched the money pouch from his sash.

Delita: Theif..

Delita shot a blunt arrow at the man's head and he almost fell into the sea. Delita grabbed the pouch back.

Delita: Scum. Go back to that rathole you crawled out of!

The man took off running without saying a word.

Sage and Razz came off second.

Razz: So this is Avrik eh? Where should we go first from the docks?

Sage: First we go see the Elder of this city and find some direction so that we are not entirely lost.

Neko: Yes.

Delita: Yeah, and watch out for muggers and theifs, like the one i just sent off running.

The company walked off from the docks and went to the large bulding with a fountain in front.

Razz: Pretty flashy, eh guys?

Delita: Yeah. I didn't know Elders could get so rich.

From the front wall came a group of scum-bag looking people.

Scum-Bag 1: What do you want? The Elder isn't expecting you.

Razz: Yeah he is. Why don't you go ask him?

Scum-Bag 2: Oh yeah? Then why din't he tell us 'bout you?

Razz: Top secret things, you know how he works don't ya?

Scum-Bag 3: Fine, we will go ask him. But if he says he don't know you, we'll cut your head open and take out yur insides!

The men went into the large mansion.

Delita: Razz, Neko, go and find another entrance. If you find one, go and get in quickly! We will meet you inside. Go!

Just as Delita finished his snetence the men were back.

Scum-Bag 1: He says he ain't expecting ya, but he wants to see you anyway.

Delita and Sage went through the large front double doors.

[OOC]I have never even drank any substance with alcohol in it in any RP or in real life either... so, hah.[/OOC]

Razz and Neko snuck around to the back of the building. Razz looked to his left and saw a man running towards them.
Ugh, not a thief...
The thief dashed at Razz. Razz jumped in the air and kicked the mugger right in his chin.
Thief,"Ow! you new guys are trouble... I'm tell' the man."
Neko,"The man?"
By the time Neko said that, the thief already ran off into the distance.
Don't worry... he was just trying to scare us. So, where do we begin?

[OOC]Sorry it was so short, but I have ta go right away.[/OOC]

[!] I'll make up for Razz [!]

Neko: (The man..?)

Razz had found a back entrance hidden in the dirt. He pulled the chain fround out of the ground and opened up a secret passageway.

Neko: Are you sure it's safe, Razz?

Razz: Well, it's here for a reason. Let's get at it.

They both walked down the staircase leading down. Razz closed the trapdoor behind them. Neko emitted fire into her hands for light. The place had been used recently, because there wasn't any dust on the tables and chairs. They led themselves down a corridor with doors at each side.

Neko: We have no time for these rooms yet. We must meet up with Delita and Sage.

Razz nodded. The both of them continued through twists and turns of tunnels and finnally came upon a staircase leading up. Razz creaked open the trapdoor just a bit so that he could make sure no one was around. He saw two pairs of feet, which seemed to be armored and mechanical. Neko went out first. When they saw the feet, it led up to a android looking object with a bowl shaped head and a large physique. It did not move.

Neko: It must be a prototype. I wonder what it does?

Razz: I do'nt think we want to see! Let's go.

((OoC:Lol..silly Delita..I could have added something instead you controlling our characters..oh wells. And..um..Neko doesn't have any Fire spells Oo" ))

"This is crazy..what's wrong with this elder?" Neko thought to herself as the android's eyes turned a neon yellow and swung at the troup,each succesfully avoided the attack.

Neko turned and watched the elder of the Avrik leave his throne and exit through a door,two of his guards towed behind him.She quickly chased after them,having figured it would be easier to battle guards than a droid twice her own height.

"..I'll be right back!"She yelled back at the others as she left the team.

Her steps echoed as she ran past the throne and up the steps towards the wooden door.The last guard caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye,immediately slamming the door behind him.With a twist of the lock,Neko ran into the door with no success of opening it.She shook at the knob vigerously,with no avail.

"Open this door immidiately! I was sent by Elders from my village with the water bracelet in need of information!"She called out to the elder on the other side of the locked door. She thought perhaps explaining would change his mind.

Her effort seemed to pay off as she took a step back to the sound of the unlocking of the knob.One of the guards opened the door,noticing the bracelet on her wrist,moved from the way of the elder who came forward.She sighed as she looked up at the slim man.
"..crazed man.."She thought to herself,not able to forgive him for the harsh move he made of herself and her companions. He gave her a strange look as if able to understand what she thought.She stood stright,grasping to the hilt of her blade just in case he pulled another strange stunt.The

((Romi is right Ram-ram, I prefer to use my character only. A few words here and there are okies tho =) ))

Sage watched on as everything was being turned on or going crazy. Everyone else was so busy that only he heard the comotion outside. It was the men from before.

"Yeah yeah boss, the winged freak and his companions are in there! The elder is gonna squeal!" they yelled as Sage turned towards the others.

"I'm going outside. It seems we have a few dirty rags that may cause us trouble." he looked over at his friends and smiled. Razz stepped forward, about to help but Sage shook his head.

"You stay with Neko, Delita and the elder. I don't trust this machine." he pointed to the motionless doll. He ran off and stopped infront of the group outs

"You stay with Neko, Delita and the elder. I don't trust this machine." he pointed to the motionless doll. He ran off and stopped infront of the group outside.

"Hey its him!" One of the thugs yelled as two more joined him and surrounded Sage. He grinned and put up one hand, then swung around and blasted a spell. He knocked out one then the other two leaped at him. He jumped back then knocked them out. The boss high tailed it inside.

"Hey you! Get back here!" Sage yelled as the man tore right into the Meeting area the others were in and eyed the elder.

"You betrayed us! Now DIE!" he shouted out as he waved his hand and the machine came to life, leaping into the air and slicing the elders arm off. It turned its attention towards the others but suddenly left.

Sage ran into the room and saw the elder die in Neko's arms. How pathetic. It seemed someone was outside.

"Yeah yeah! They are in here officer!!!!!" the thug said as the doors to the elder's house was knocked down and three guards entered the room. The next thing they knew was they were sentanced for killing the town's elder.

*****

A young man walked into the room and saw the four sitting on one bench. He smiled and cleared his throat.

"May I ask, who wishes to do something for us??" he said, smiling. Sage's hand crept up. The man nodded and called him over, whispering something in his ear. Sage said a simple yes and was out the door. The man turned back to the remaining three and shook his head, then left. A day passed with people coming in and asking questions. Soon it was dawn, and still no sign of Sage. The same man came in early in the morning.

"We have some bad news. A monster has been terrorizing our fair town, and we sent your friend to slay it. We figured he had potentiol, but we may of been wrong." They looked at him in anger. He put his hands up like he didn't mean to do it.

"But wait! He is on Raul mountain, and if you hurry, you may still find him." He said stepping aside and letting them go.

At the mountain...

Sage was resting in a hut at the halfway point in the dark. If someone were to come in, they wouldn't know he was there.

"I hope the others are ok........" he said to himself as he waited for nightfall to come.


((Ok, edited it!!!! ))\n\n

How far is this Rual mountain from here!?
Man,"It is about an hours walk of here."
Razz looked at the other two. He gave a nod, and the three bolted out of the door. They all immediately ran in the direction of the mountain. About an hour later, they came up to the foot of the mountain.
Okay... now, just how do we find Sage...
They trio heard a rumbling up the mountain.
Ah, must be up there.
The three ran up the mountain, but to no avail. They still couldn't find Sage. It was too dark, and too massive. Eventually, it became pitch black. Razz lit a small flame inside his hand to light the way. They kept searching for a while, and then they found a little hut. They decided to go inside for a little while, just to discuss how they could possibly find Sage in this darkness. The three of them came up to the hut and walked through the doorway.

[OOC]Again, I apologize for the bad post... Heh, I've been having to say that a lot lately.[/OOC]

(( Its ok Razz, we all have writer's block sometime or another. ))

The door opened slowly, and Sage watched three figures enter the building. He waited a bit then cleared his throat.

"Why did you come?" he said, looking at the three with stern eyes. He lit a lamp and the others saw an annoyed look on his face.

"What do you mean? Bro we came to help!" Razz said punching his fist into his open hand. Sage sighed.

"Now I can't let lose my special......er nevermind." he stopped and smiled. At least he had backup now. He looked at the three and nodded his head. They all made some little area theres and soon fell asleep.

Soon dawn creeped in through the windows, the sunlight hitting Sage right in the face. He got up and stretched his Celestial Wings and smiled.

"All rught you lil punks, wake up!" He yelled, stirring the others from their light sleep. In five minutes they we ready to go. As they finished packing their supplies, a loud Screach was heard.

"Its him! The Nyph!" Razz shouted as they all high tailed it ouside. Sure enough the big baddie was tossing around some trees in search for its meal.

"Lets teach him to clean up his mess!" Sage smirked as he drew his Katana, his dragon tear shining a crimsion color.

(( Ooc: Now THATS bad. :3))

Sage had been gone for days now,which seemed like weeks to Neko.The trio left behind remained in the one room,talking with people who came and left most of the time.Everyone had many questions,about the murdered Elder of Avrik.it became very pestering for Neko,and soon she was becoming frustrated.She thought that Sage had left them there for good until a carefree man,perhaps a representative of the village,came in and explained the quest they had sent him on.

"That's a suicide mission..you should have sent one of us to accompany him at the very least,"She said to him,although his attention was elsewhere.

They soon left,free from the one room that they had stayed in.They were told where Sage could be found,and now were heading up the steep mountain trail.The group had began to get tired and suprisingly enough,ahead of them was a small wooden hut.
It looked kind of cozy, maybe for a traveler or a family of three.Some of the windows were broken,probably from cold animals or robbers.Cob webs lined the edges of the roof and door way.Neko was too exausted to continue without even an hour of rest,so she decided to head over there to relax a bit.
As Neko reclined in an poorly built wooden chair, a voice crept from the shadows and with it a figure.Leaning too far back with suprise,she fell onto the floor of the hut.Dust spread everywhere,and as Neko looked up through it,she could see the annoyed expression that Sage gave to her as he glared down at her.Neko helped herself up,and looked at him straight in the eye as she dusted her back off.

"Well..we're your companions..and,we can't let you go out and do this kind of stuff..leaving us, your friends, behind in a village that we're are not very familiar with anyways.." She said to him,returning the glare.

Night had swept over the land,and the group fell asleep.It wasn't the best sleep that Neko had every had,but being able to finally relax at least for one night was good enough for her at the moment.Waking up to a horrible shriek, brought her back to reality and she jumped up suprised.Razz was already heading out the door,Neko followed behind him.

((OoC:I don't know what a Nyph is..so i'm just gonna wing it =X))

Outside was a creature,it avoided the hut but was heading down the mountain in the direction of the village.Neko pulled out her blade and followed Razz towards it.They called out at it,hoping to gain it's attention but no matter how loud they called,it continued downward.Neko picked up a large rock,fitting snuggly into the palm of her hand, and tossed it at the creature.It bounced off the back of the creature's head,engraving a deep wound through the flesh.

((OoC:Lol, and you guys thought yours was bad..it's the battle of the posters!..j/k XP))\n\n

(( OoC: That is nice Romi! ^.^ Lol mine is gonna suck. I'm not sure if it really is spelt Nyph, but if you played BoF 3, there was this lion like creature that had snake like tails, It kept getting stronger as you fought it so yeah :3 ))

Thunk!

A few drops of blood leaked from the monsters head. It let out a bone shaking shriek, then continued onward.

"What the hell!? Why won't it stop!?" Razz yelled but suddenly the creature did just that. It was being attacked by Sage from the front. He brought down his Katana with skill and simply dodged the monsters attacks. He mocked it as it shouted out in frustration, floating right infront of its face.

"C'mon! You mean to tell me that no one in that town could take you down?" he put his hands on his hips and saw Neko smiling at him. He blew her a kiss and suddenly was knocked down from the sky. He crashed into some chrubery. He got up holding his head, and met the monster face to face. The creature's hot steamy breath was right on his face, creating beads of sweat on Sage's brow. The Nyph leaped back and was ready for the next attack from anyone.

"Son of a......how did he move so fast?" he asked, getting up and standing next to Neko. This may be a little bit harder than planned.

The beast, still angry at Sage, glanced at him again. Sage was still in wonder of how it could be that fast. The Nyph leaped forward, pouncing at Sage once more, but this time, before it was an arms length away from Sage, Razz came flying by. Razz tackled the Nyph in mid-air and the two went rolling down a small distance. Razz jumped up and did a flip in the air. The beast was still laying on the ground. It appearently hurt it's jaw on a rock or something. It was laying there... seemingly lifeless. Razz walked over to the lion-like creature and set his foot on it.
Hmph... those townsmen must be incredibly weak!
Razz's eyes suddenly widenned and the smirk on his face became blank.
GAH!!

Neko watched as the two bodies tumbled down the hill,hitting small brush and stones.The creature gave a loud cry as Neko watched it hit it's head on a large boulder decorating the mountain side. loose rocks and dirt followed behind them as they rolled down the steep edge.Neko looked over the edge,her eyes shifted quickly looking for Razz and the Nyph. Spotting them almost immediately,she cheered Razz on as he stood up and placed his foot upon the lifeless body of the Nyph. His proudness showed as he stood tall and grinned up at Neko,but it was over too soon as he looked down at the creature.It's three tails whipped around rapidly,and the large creature slowly regained conciousness and raised itself to it's feet.scratches showed through it's raven black fur,and blood showered it's badly wounded head.it looked a bit dazed,but as soon as it spotted Razz,all seemed to be clear once more.A growl sang from it's lips and it limply walked over to Razz.

Neko began down the edge of the hill to help Razz with this battle.The loose dirt was something she forgot about and slipped when she reached but only a few feet.A gasp jumped from her mouth as she slid all the way down to where Razz was,doing her best to slow herself down with her arms. The large boulder stopped her from going down any further, Neko could see the blood from the Nyph's wounded head on it, and immediately stood up reaching for the hilt of her sword.
With one swipe of her blade, the three tails of the creature fell to the ground.They didn't move,but were lifeless as soon as they were detached from the body of the Nyph. The Nyph turned focusing it's attention to Neko now, and snapped at her with it's large jaw.Neko fell onto the ground, the creature face to face with her. She hesitated at first,but shutting her eyes tightly, Neko thrusted her sword upwards through the neck of the Nyph, piearcing through it entirely. A bit Shakey,she crawled back and watched as the creature began to choke,yet still remained standing..

((OoC: Blah..i'm bored and um..yeah had nothing else to do,sorry everyone ><" ))

The creature let out a howl of pain and suddenly bounded up the mountain, a trail of blood being made as it tore up the mountain path.

"Alright Neko-sama!" Sage cheered as he flew on over to Razz and helped him up. He gave her a light hug and grinned.

"You've gotten better since I've seen you practice. Good work!" he gave her a warm smile that soon faded when he heard the blood curdling scream of a group of Nyphs. He couldn't believe it. There was more!?

"You guys.....this may be bad. We may be in over our heads. Neko can I talk to you?" he took her over to the back of the hut, and smiled once more.

"Listen Neko, if things get heated, you, Razz, and Delita get out of here. I have something to give these creatures that will make them think twice." he grinned but saw the doubt in her eyes. She wouldn't leave, he knew it. He had known her for a year now, ever since he settled down for a week in her town.

"Tell me...." he said, looking directly in her eyes. "Will you leave if I tell you to?" his eyes suddenly turned to a deep and vivid blue, his lips parted into a small smile.

((Thats bad bad bad >.<  I don't really wanna control Romi's character, so ill wait for her to reply.))

Neko's stubborn expression quickly took her her face as she looked up at him. She turned and her arms crossed as she quickly made her decision.

"..Fine..but you better take care of yourself..and don't do anything crazy.."She said to him as she turning towards him once more and poking him in his chest.

A rumble disturbed the moment as a Nyph pounced from the side of the mountain above them,to just a few feet down the road from the group. He growled and roared at the trio as it walked towards them. It was aware of how the other Nyph had gotten it's fatale injuries, so it was very cautious as it approached them.

((OoC: Sorry i really didn't know what to write))

Delita: Damnit! Another one?

Delita got out his bow and started firing arrows uncontrollably. Only 2 of the 10 hit it when it get to them and starting flailing attacks furiously. Delita blocked mosted of the hits with his short blade. Razz assisted with some swings of his fists.

Razz: You alright, Delita?

Delita: Yeah, but watch out!

The nymph pounceed again despite the signifcant injuries, which showed that it has great resilliance against normal hits. Delita slashed again and again, and waited for the others to fight back, too.

(( Ok Ram-ram! Lol, well since you will be busy, we'll make sure to keep Delita nice and warm if its ok with you, even tho this is going to be the power of Three and a half now XD!!!!!! ))

Sage smiled as Neko poked him playfully. Thats what he liked about her. The sweetest person in the world. He turned at the sound of a deep rumble and another Nyph bounded down the mountain. Delita approached in a fury of slashes but was worn down by the creatures amazing resistance to physical attacks. Sage looked at Neko and nodded as they ran to the battlefield.

"Can't keep out of trouble while I talk to Neko huh?" Sage laughed out, his sword rested on his shoulder. Another one, time for some more skilled fighting. Razz lossened his stance and grinned.

"Yeah well its about time you two came, you little love birds!" he laughed as Sage blushed at the comment, but the winged warrior toned it down, hoping Neko wouldn't notice. Sure they were friends, but of course he had some feelings for her. Why wouldn't he?

"Enough of this. You. Die. NOW!" Sage said as suddenly his aura blue wings sprouted over his own, giving him a mystical look. His eyes turned a deep green and he suddenly rushed forward, a fury of slashes bringing him right past the monster. He landed and launched a pillar of flames under the creature and flew straight up as he concentrated his energies and released a typhoon spell. He landed and turned back, throwing his sword like a boomerang into the massive roaring winds. The sword lashed out, mixed with the wind, causing the creature to howl out in pain. It fell to its knees as the sword landed infront of Sage and he picked it up.

"Don't piss me off...." he said walking up to it. He eyed it and it shot open its eyes. He quickly drew out his Katana and brought it down, ending the creatures life. He turned back to the others, breathing a bit heavily.

"What? This requires strategy!" he said laughing. They shruged their shoulders and they conti

Romku sat on the rocks of the mountain, working on his meditation, so he could gather his spirits for an upcoming battle.  He suddenly got up, hearing footsteps hitting the grounds of the mountain.  He jumped up, ready to power up, until he saw some warriors traveling the path on the mountain.  Romku put his hand out and said:

"I saw your battle with the Nyph.  You guys are strong, but the area up here is way dangerous.  you better take me along."

Sage "Who are you kid, you shouldn't be here.  And for another thing, why should we trust you?"

Romku "Listen, this might seem weird, but there is a team of four beasts up ahead, their like shadows.  Their part human, and part.......demon.  I don't know why they gathered up here, but I can't pass them alone.  Take me along, I know you have to go this way anyway."

..Demons.."Neko said looking over at her companions.
"..The demons got this far out? You think they're looking for the bracelets too?"She asked them, only getting confused expressions, just as herself.
"Okay..I suppose it wouldn't be a problem if you came along.. a lending hand is always welcome"She said to the young man blocking the path.

The team began up the trail once again, sounds of the demon creatures got louder as they walked higher up the mountain. As Neko turned a corner on the trail, she immediately jumped back seeing the demons feasting on a Nyph. She peeked around the corner cautiously to see the number of them. She counted only three, and on the ground, a half eaten Nyph.

"..I only see three..there could be more though.."She whispered to her companions.

Neko looked over again, but only to see the dead Nyph's meatless body and nothing else. Her heart nearly skipped a beat as a claw swiped at her face. Ducking, it missed only penetrating the cliff wall, leaving a mark into it. The other two demon creatures followed behind it..

((OoC: once again bad, but..i have to eat =X just wanted to post this real quick because i started writing it in the morning))

Woah, cha! Those things are freaky!
Razz was a bit frightenned at teh moment, but he quickly pushed the fear aside.
Well,... this'll be a work out.
Razz loosenned up, and grinned.
*insert hard rock music here*
Razz ran straight up at one of the beasts. He jumped, leaping into the air, he was swiped down by one of the demons.
*Hard rock music ends here*
uhhh... ow?
Razz ran back to the group.
Okay, so,... who's got a plan?

Romku was thinking of a good plan.  The others were hard at work too.

"Wait, I knew I forgot to do something.  I haven't turned into holy yet.  Angelo, the holy spirit, grant me your power!"

Romku's hair and clothes started to turn color.  His hair turned from brown to spikey gold.  His red suit became light blue and gold, and now he was surrounded with a golden aura.  Romku cried out again.

"Holy Sword Farewell, come to me!"

A golden sword flew out of the air.  It was made of angelite, a strong medal made from the heavens, amking it an unbreakable sword.  Romku dashed at one of the beasts, but the beast was too fast and dodged his attack, then countering with a hard blow to the stomach, causing the warrior to plummit to the ground, causing an explicit amount of pain.

"I'm fine guys, but Razz is right.  Even with holy, I can't touch them.  Any plans for sneaking up on them or something?"

Sage took the oppertunity he had when his new friend began to emit a strong holy radiance. He left the scene and dissapperead for a few moments. Romku had a punch delivered to his stomach and he stepped back a bit, giving Delita time to launch a barage of arrows in the demons face. It shouted out of pain but was cut off as a loud yell was heard.

Out of nowhere Sage came down from the sky (a la trunks) and brought his sword down into the tough muscle of the demon, blood splashing on his shirt and sword. He forced it all the way down the brought it back, stabbing another demon in the arm. He leaped back over the demon he attack and sprung off its face, landing right infront of Neko with a grin.

"Got him......" he said but his expression soon faded as the third demon sprung off a cliff top and brought his claws down on Sage, just grazing his back. His breath literally jumped from his mouth, hitting Neko in the face as he fell forward into her arms. His wings were already drenched in blood, the crimsion color giving them a horrid purple look. He closed his eyes tight and tried to move but couldn't. He needed to heal himself, but now the three demons were already advancing. The fourth still nowhere to be found.

"Just drop me. I'll catch up...." he spoke softly as he looked into her eyes, a slight smile crossing his face. He could make it. He just needed time. He just hoped she would listen.

Romku looked on as Sage was being attacked.  Romku yelled:

"Sorry Sage, I can't leave you behind like this!  Hyaa!"

Romku charged on towards the beasts.  Romku got his sword and swung for one of the beasts, but he missed and was kicked in the back, sending him down.  Romku got back up and slashed one of the beast's head off, leaving two very angry demons.  They stopped attacking for a minute.  One started to speak:

"You fools!  We can't let you cross these mountains, we are going to be the ones who get the bracelets!  You shall die!"

Both demons dissapeared into the air, reappearing in front and in back of Romku.  Both demons slashed Romku with their right claw, leaving two deep wounds in Romku, they they kicked him to the ground, leaving him there to bleed to death, but as they were about to attack Sage, Romku got back up slowly, using his Curest Light to healed his wounds, but still leaving the pain.  Romku extended his hands forward and dropping the sword to the ground.  Roumk started to speak again.

"Sage...Neko...You two can go on without me, after this next move, I'll run of energy and be left helpless.  You can leave me here if you want, but I can't let these things get you two.  Warrior's Last Cannon!!"

A golden beam of energy bursted out of Romku hands and started to flow towards the beasts.  The beasts dissapeared in the light.  A big explosion occured, leaving the good guys unharmed because of the holy power, but the beasts were gone.  Romku spoke:

"There, you're safe now.  Don't worry about me, I'll get my energy back in an hour.  Until then, take care."

Romku fainted to the ground, and his holy aura dissapeared, and Romku was back to normal.  One of the beasts reappeared with a wild smirk on his face, and started to laugh.

Sage "No!  Romku just sacrificed his energy for nothing!"

The shadowly figure "You guys killed my comrades, but theey are nothing compared to me.  My name is Garoun, the lord of evil!  I'll be watching you close, but I'll think I'll be a sport and let you go, after killing one more of my beasts.  Don't die on me now!  Hahaha!"

((Garoun was around 7'4, 250 pounds, pure muscle.  Weird symbols were tattoed on his chest and back.  His hair, spikey and dark blue, and his eyes were as red as a raging flame.  All he wore was a pair of black judo pants, with fire designs on the sides.))

Garoun dissapeared into the air, and one of the beasts took its place.  But there was a problem, Sage couldn't move and Romku fainted and won't be back up for an hour.  The beast got ready to attack th

Sage fell into Neko's arms, blood dripping from his wings onto her hands. She nearly lost her balance, but sustained it and slowly lowered Sage onto the ground. She knew he was capable of healing himself, but leaving him here would be too dangerous. In a matter of minutes, those creatures would be swarming this area, just for a piece of him.
Just as neko had looked up, Romku let out an amazing attack, but to little avail, his stomach was easily attacked with a punch. She watched as he immediately healed himself, and let out more energy towards the monsters. Shooting a powerful light attack, the creatures dissolved in it instantly, only leaving the echoe of their screaches.

His exausted face dripped with persperation. She walked over to him,leaving Sage with Razz who was still unharmed, luckily. Delita stood silently, prepared for almost anything. She helped over to the wall, as soon as another larger figure appeared in front of the group. he laughed insanely, a grin planted above his chin, it drove Neko nuts. She held the hilt of her blade tightly, knowing that he was going to add more pain than what already been caused.
He dissapeared,leaving behind a warning to them, in it's place a winged demon. It's structure as nasty as the rest, but the wings made it more lethal. It flapped it's torn tattered wings and flew above the group. A sharp screech sang from it's bloody lips as it shot down towards them. Neko unseathed her blade and brought it up quickly, everything seemed so quick to her, most of the time not even knowing what she was doing. Two swipes in the air brought the creature down. it's shoulder gushed with blood as it crawled towards her. Two limbs missing, it still tried to attack her.Neko looked down at it shaking, but ended it's suffering with a quick stab. Her hands were covered in sun dried blood, and her sword dripped with fresh. She helped Sage up, with the aid Razz. Delita helped up the tired Romku.

" We have to get out of here now.. if those few were here there has to be more.. let's get as far as we can tonight."She said to everyone..

((OoC: Sorry kinda bad, have to do homework ))

The demon charged at Sage. It was gaining momentum and it was gaining fast. Out of the blue, Razz jumped into the picture and gave the beast an uprising foot to the chin. The force of the blow helped Razz do a flip backwards. He landed with one foot to the back and one in front. His stance was strong and bold.
Forget about me? Shouldn't have.
Razz dashed towards the shadowed monster. The monster gave a screech and swiped it's incredibly sharp claws at Razz. Razz swiftly dodged the attack, spun around the demon, and kicked it in the back. As the monster was sent forward, Razz was right on it's tail. He tackled it to the ground, and started to pund on it's face.
Take! That! You! Unholy! Retard!! RAAAAGH!
Razz put both open hands on the demons bloody and bashed-up face and with a scream, he let out a burst of flame. The demon's head was no longer exsistant.
Hmph... punk.
Razz ran back to the group.
Sage.... you alright, man?

[OOC]Awwww, we posted at the same time. o.O [/OOC]

((Um well next time cxhange it a wee bit, you could just say the fourth demon attacked on the way down lol ))

Sage was in a semi-dazed state. He traced his hand along his wing until it reached where it merged with his back. A light chant and two heal spells later he was still suffering but the blood stopped. He looked at Neko and shook his head.

"They know its up here. I'll go alone then. Please. We need to retrieve the bracelet!" he tried to pull away but Razz held him back. It was no use fighting.

"If you won't do it then......" he turned and smiled. Suddenly he shot out his arm and knocked Razz over, then leaped into the air, scaling up the mountian. This was his way to repay his little debt to the cheapshoting demons.

"I'll retrive it myself!" he called back, and soon he was out of sight. He stopped on a ledge before a cave and fell to one knee. He wasn't gonna be able to do this.

"I'm sorry Neko-sama..." he said as he got up, a tear of sweat running down his face. Time to kick some ass. He boosted his defense and entered the cave. It would take them a good 20 minutes to catch up. Five minutes of rest and then he would finish this up. He sat down and began to breath slowly.

(( Now thats bad! ))

SAGE!! GET BACK HERE!
Razz got very.... "angry".
Grrrr, and I thought *I* was stubborn.
Razz began to run up teh mountain to see if he could find Sage and help him out. He looked back at Neko and Delita. He motioned his head, calling for them to follow. Razz instantly looked back up ahead and didn't look back. He didn't know if The two were going to follow or not, but he had a feeling that they would. It's just the matter of how they would catch up to Razz, and how Razz would catch up to Sage. Continueously Razz kept running his fastest. His legs were burning, but he enjoyed the pain. He only enjoyed it because it was the pain of straining himself and going beyond his own limits.
Sage!, Razz called out, Sage, where are you!
Razz tripped on a log that was laying there in the middle of the pathway. He fell, getting his clothes full of mud and grass.
GRAAAGH!
Razz punched the ground in anger.
Sage! Why did you leave!
A single tear rolled down Razz's cheeck. Razz was experienceing the most pain he had in his life. He had cramps in every possible spot, and his legs were burning and they gave out long before he whiped out. Despite the pain, Razz got back up to his feet. With a determinned look on his face, he began to pick up his pace once more. He knew how strong Sage was, but he just couldn't let him do this alone. No matter what...

Romku looked downward towards Razz.

"Razz, do not be troubled.  Sage is risking a lot here, he is showing how truly powerful he is not only in strength, but in honor.  He wanted to deal with this task himself.  He is honorable, I give him that.  I think we should respect his wishes, and wait for him here."

((long, emotional speech, I'm going to cry))

Razz "I still think we should go after him!"

Romku "We can wait."

While the warriors were waiting for Sage to get back, a familiar face was hidden in the trees, watching the action from the air.  

Garoun "Wow.  The Sage brat has honor, but too bad he left his comrades behind here.  These guys don't stand a chance.  I guess I just have to greet the others yet again."

Garoun jumped out of the trees in front of the warriors.

Garoun "You fools.  Your buddy wanted to play hero and left you behind!  The lord of evil likes that.  Now you all must die!!"

Garoun powered up so fast, the warriors were left in shock.  Romku spoke.

Romku "Guys, Neko, I know Garoun.  He has vast power beyond compare.  He is way stronger than we are.  This might sound crazy, but we have to team up on this one and try to hold off Garoun until Sage can come back and help us.  Please fight with me, we need to give Sage time."

Romku looked downward towards Razz.

"Razz, do not be troubled.  Sage is risking a lot here, he is showing how truly powerful he is not only in strength, but in honor.  He wanted to deal with this task himself.  He is honorable, I give him that.  I think we should respect his wishes, and wait for him here."

Neko could feel her legs give in as she, with the aid of Razz, helped Sage up the steep road towards the top of the mountain, hopefully to find the bracelet. A hard nudge from Sage and he flew off on his own. Neko watched as he took off, following behind him on foot, Razz and herself.

"Sage! Are you nuts? What are you trying to prove!?"She called out to him,hoping he would stop.

She watched as his large steel blue wings soon become but a speckle decorating the hot afternoon sky. Towing right behind Razz, she saw him trip and fall. Almost tripping over him herself, she jumped over the log and Razz before she too would fall. Neko turned, razz helped himself up, wiping the thick mud from his eyes. Romku began to speak of honor and such but it had yet to make sense to her.

" Sage.. I don't think he's doing it for honor..perhaps to protect us..No matter, he may be a skilled fighter, but you saw what those creatures did to everyone back there!" She emphasized as she pointed back to the trail.

A swift sound, and a silent crackle gave Garoun Neko's attention. She turned and faced him, a bit suprised to see him,it, there. He knew the group was weaker now that they were one less than before. Romku seemed to have known him somehow, explaining how the group must work as one to rid him. Neko nodded, if the demons were hard enough to beat, this was truly a test..

Garoun got into his fighting stance, he was ready to fight.  Romku and the others had fear in their eyes, but they were also ready to fight.  Roumk stepped forward.

"Garoun, I'm not going to let you harm my friends.  These people have tooken me in for this quest, and I will not let them get harmed.  Take this, Holy Spirit, grant me your power!"

Romku reverted back to his holy power.  Romuk flew in without any weapons on him this time.  Garoun and the holy warrior were trading punches off left and right.  A strong aura of energy was surrounding the two fighters as they were combating.  Garoun then kicked Romku in the gut, giving him two more punches to the head, and blasting him in the gut with an energy blast.  Romku flew through the air, with blood going through his uniform, and hit a tree twenty feet back.  Romku fell to the ground, then he lifted his upper part of the uniform.

"Just a scrape.  It stings, but I can still fight!"

Garoun flew to Romku and grabed him by his head and started to beat him in the stomach with hard punches, Romku couldn't get out of the grip, and was becoming overwhelmed by the pain in his stomach.  Romku was coughing up blood and the scrape on his stomach started to bleed more, leaving blood on Garoun's fists.  As Romku was being punched he yelled in pain and said:

"HYAA!!  GUYS, RUN AWAY FROM HERE!  LET ME DIE!  WE CAN'T WIN!!  GO UP TO SAGE, HELP HIM OUT, I KNOW I'LL DIE, THE PAIN IS TOO MUCH FOR ME TO BARE!!  DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME!!  THANKS FOR BEING THERE FOR ME, EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T ON THE TEAM THAT LONG!!  ROMI, SAGE NEEDS YOU, GO TO HIM!  THE REST OF YOU, PROTECT ROMI!!  GO!!"

Garoun threw Romku back to the tree hard.  Romku slid down the tree, his back against the tree and his legs sitting down.  Garoun started to laugh:

"HA HA HA!  You couldn't beat me, too bad for you, Romku.  Now, if you don't mind, it's time for you to die!"

Garoun started to build up the energy in his hands, ready to deliver a ki blast that would end Romku's life.  What would happen to him now, and what would the rest of the warriors do?

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Razz didn't care if he couldn't win against Garoun. But, he couldn't let Romku die.
Garoun flew into the air to gain more energy for the blast.
Razz noticed his altitude compared to the hight of the tree beside him, and Razz bolted off. He was running his fastest, even faster than his legs could go. Razz ran up the incredibly tall tree, jumped off, and grabbed onto Garouns ankles. This caught Garoun by suprise, and he was soon falling from the sky. The fall seemed to last forever. But as they were dropping, Razz was slowly making Garoun face the ground. With a smack and a snap, the two landed. Both laying there, as if dead. All of this happened so fast to Delita and Neko. A moan was heard from the direction of the fallen couple. Razz got up and sat on his knees. He looked over at Garouns body and pounded his back with both fists clenched so tight. Razz's heavy breathing could be heard by everyone... even the seemingly lifeless Garoun.

Garoun was a little scaped, but he wanted to surprise his enemy.  Garoun grabbed Razz by his ankles and said:

"Poor fool, so you're the one named Razz.  Pity.  Trying to save Romku when you can't save yourself.  Romku is great, and so are you, but you don't stand a chance against me."

Garoun kicked Razz in the stomach five times, and punched him in the face.  Razz started to fly through the air, then crashing through the remainders of the tree.  He slid down next to Romku.

Razz "He is tough man.  I tried man.  Sorry Romku."

Romku "Razz, there is still hope, we can work together guys, we can beat him.  We just need time to plan our strategy.  I got an idea.  Guys, prepare to run into that cave.  Heavenly Light!"

Romku got up, even though he was wounded, and a light from the sky went next to Romku.  Romku held it in his hand, and fired it at the dark lord.  The light exploded with light, around 2x better that Goku's Solar Flare.  Garoun became blind, but just for a moment.  All of the warriors headed for a nearby cave.  When they got in, they sat down, and Romku and Razz fell to the ground, with all of the pain that Garoun dished out at them.  Romku slowly sat up:

"Guys, He is very strong, but I know we can beat him.  We need a good developed plan, if we try to face him one on one, he'll beat us down, like he did to me and Razz.  We need a plan you guys.

((Razz man, if I accidentally controlled your character, I'm sorry man.))

[!] Doh! Romku took my place. I understand. And to have this post not deleted... This is kind of like a side story, since Delita is not residing with the party anymore. Read on, and hopefully this thing won't be deleted.[!]


*     *     *
Delita trailed off into the woods by himself.

Delita: (I wonder.... Neko...)

Lost in thought, Delita trailed off until the end of the woods without realizing it. After a whole night of hiking, Delita was exhausted.

Delita: I hope the others are alright without me. I'm sure...

Delita woke up at first light and started walking towards his hometown of Paranor, where his fellow keepers wait.

[OOC]Romku, you did a good job with Razz, so iss aww gud.
Ramza, Romku didn't take your place!  There were 4 of us before, and the title says "Power of five"! Five, boy, FIVE! [/OOC]

We need a plan, before he gets to us!
Razz looked at both sides of the entrance to the little cave. He motioned Romku to go on the left side and that Razz would go to the right. They did just that. And as Garoun entered the cave, Razz and Romku jumped from both sides and kicked Garoun in the face. It hurt him quite a bit, but it didn't do much damage.
Garoun gave a smirk,"Smart..."
Garoun whiped the blood from his mouth. He kicked at Razz, but Razz ducked just in time. The kick broke a chunk out of the wall. While Garoun was still on one leg, Romku bent down and tripped him. Razz and Romku, then, both kicked him in his sides. They could see the anger build up inside of Garoun. And believe me... it wasn't pretty.

Whilst all of this was taking place in front of Neko, she took the distraction of Garoun to her advantage. With hardly any energy loss, she began to chant a spell. As Garoun fell to the ground, Neko thrusted her open hand forward towards the fallen fiend.

Blades of blue wind emmited from her hand, shooting towards Garoun. He grinned as he looked up,blood dripping from his grin curled lips. As the wind blades neared him, Garoun vanished. The wind spell, hit the ground he once lay on instead, leaving deep gashing in the ground.

Neko stood stunned and dissapointed that she missed. She could hear herself breathing hard, and refrained from continuing. she lowered her head and walked towards her two companions who looked at tired as ever.

" Come, we have to catch up with Sage. While Sage is alone, he's an open target for Garoun to dispose of!" She said to them, as began her way out of the entrance of the cave.

((OoC: not very good, i have to study soon =\)

The warriors started to run out of the cave, happy that they distracted Garoun, but saddened because he dissapeared andwas probrably going after Sage.  Romku and Razz ran forward, and Neko and Delita were following behind.  As they reached the entrance to the cave that Sage was in, Garoun reappeared:

"Fools, you think you're going to get past me huh?  There is no way you can beat me, you might have strategy, but you don't have the power of evil.  Get this through your head.  Sage will die, you will die, and the world will die!"

Romku stood up in anger.  Tears started to fall from his face:

"You might have us outpowered, but you lack one thing, comrades that are by your side and willing to stand by you for anything.  Teamwork works well for this world, and that is why evil will be stopped."

Romku started to glow weird, emitting a bright golden light.  Suddenly, colorful sparks started to surround Romku.  The sparks turned into visions of the spirits that were inside of Romku's body: fire, water/ice, lightning, earth, wind, holy, and darkness.  The holy spirit, Angelo, started to speak:

"Romku, we have witnessed this battle and we realized that you need more power from the spirits.  We have discovered a new technique.  I hope you can use it.  Just power up and say 'Ultima Spirit Fuse'!"

Romku "Alright, ULTIMA SPIRIT FUSE!!"

The spirits that were surrounding Romku body started to join together.  The colors fused together, and the spirits became one, like an ultimate spirit.  The ultimate spirit went into Romku's body.  Romku's power began to rise like no other.  His uniform became different colors, and turned out that each part of the uniform was in different colors.  Romku's hair turne golden and now he was 'Ultima Romku'!  Romku stood with his new found power:

"Wow!  This is great, but I know of one way to enhance it.  SACRED POWER!"

Romku's holy spirit in the ultima spirit began to power up with holy power, but then now that the spirits were fused, each of the seven spirit also got to use sacred power, making an ultima power up.  Romku suddenly became golden, at least his uniform emitted a bright, golden color, his clothes turned golden, with traces of light blue, his hair turned golden, and he was now surrounded with a bright golden aura.  Now he looked like a golden fighter.

Romku "Thank you everyone.  You have let me se my true power.  I know you have hidden power too.  Just bring it out!  I know we can beat Garoun now!"

Garoun started to power-up himself:

"I can do that too fool,  POWERS OF HELL AND EVIL, COME TO ME!!"

Garoun startd to emit a dark red aura.  His eyes began to slowly drip blood, He became hundreds of times stronger.  He was truly evil now.

Garoun "NOW, PREPARE TO DIE!!!"

Garoun got into his fighting stance, ready to attack at anytime.

Romku "Guys, reveal your hidden power now!"

The warriors started to run out of the cave, happy that they distracted Garoun, but saddened because he dissapeared andwas probrably going after Sage.  Romku and Razz ran forward, and Neko and Delita were following behind.  As they reached the entrance to the cave that Sage was in, Garoun reappeared:

"Fools, you think you're going to get past me huh?  There is no way you can beat me, you might have strategy, but you don't have the power of evil.  Get this through your head.  Sage will die, you will die, and the world will die!"

Romku started to glow weird, emitting a bright golden light.  Suddenly, colorful sparks started to surround Romku.  The sparks turned into visions of the spirits that were inside of Romku's body: fire, water/ice, lightning, earth, wind, holy, and darkness.  The holy spirit, Angelo, started to speak:

"Romku, we have witnessed this battle and we realized that you need more power from the spirits.  We have discovered a new technique.  I hope you can use it.  Just power up and say 'Ultima Spirit Fuse'!"

Romku "Alright, ULTIMA SPIRIT FUSE!!"

The spirits that were surrounding Romku body started to join together.  The colors fused togethe

Garoun had brought the warriors outside the cave and were litterally driving them back. Neko and Razz had tried to keep up but it was too much. The were standing side by side, determined not to give up.

Romku had shown exquisite power, but it was impossible to face off against Garoun once he called upon his hellish powers. Garoun laughed out, blood running down his body. Some was his, some was the others.

"I think your friend is dead. His screams ring clear in my mind. Too bad for you guys!" he lashed out once more at Romku, knocking him back. The young fighter showed determination but that wasn't enough. Was Sage truely lost?

*******
Sage stumbled through the damp cave, trying to find the bracelet. He came to a dead end and gave out a frustrated yell. He was deep in the cave, no one would find him for another 15 minutes. He was about to leave but a creature swooped down from above. He gritted his teeth and drew his sword, his hand shaking.

"Leave me alone goddamnit!" he screamed and swung his sword out, blinded by his frustration. Tears fell from his eyes and four more creatures appeared. They screached and howled, playing with their winged toy. It was over.

Suddenly he screamed out in pain. An eminse power filled the room.  Everything was filled with a light and he heard a voice.

"I am the wind beneath your wings....." the voice said gently.

Outside....

The others only saw a huge light. A huge rumbling occoured and ther others stopped fighting. Sage was still in there!

The top of the mountin suddenly blew apart throwing huge chunks of rock everywhere. From the distance you could see a great chunk missing where the cave had led to. Garoun let out a satisfied howl and turned his attention towards his opponents.

"He has failed you! He is gone! And you have lost!" he laughed once more waiting for the wave of horror to wash over his enemies.

((Ooc: Sorta gay, sorry for the controling. Please don't like make Sage come back okies? :3 I'm aware of what I've done.))

Neko squinted her eyes at the light that Romku's powers seemed to give off. She hadn't whittnessed anything like that before and was astonished by it, almost frightened. Using her arm to shield the bright light from her eyes, although it just made things more difficult to see. As she watched on, her blade clenched tightly in her fist, a startling rumble run under her feet.

A gasp lept out of Neko's mouth as she caught her balance from the emmence rumble, and looked up towards the mountain top. As she gazed up at it, a horrified expression ran down her face. Boulders and bits of pieces of the mountain side flew through the air, caused by an explosion inside a cave.. the cave that Sage had entered. She looked on, watching almost half the mountain tumble to the foot of it all.

Her eyes swelled with tears, at the sight of it all, and she turned to the laughing Garoun. The emotionless creature returned the glare with a grin and continued his insane chuckling at the group, speaking of how Sage's life was ended in that one explosion.

"..Liar!"Neko yelled out at him, as she took a step towards Garoun.
" ...he's not gone.." She said, little hope seemed to be given off in her voice.

There was a good chance that Garoun was correct. It was improbable for someone to survive such a massive explosion, leaving  the mountain side crumbled. Although, she felt that there was still a little hope, even if it wasn't enough, there was still that much..

((OoC: Not that good, dunno what to right =P ))

Razz watched as the mountain crumbled. Razz's mind was blank... he didn't know what to think at the moment. He suddenly realized that Sage was in teh building.
S-Sage... Sage! SAAGE!!!
Razz collapsed tot he ground. The thought of Sage being dead was, to say the least, overwhelming. As if the death of Sage wasn't enough for Razz, he looked up at Garoun. When he saw and heard the insane laughter his body shook with anger, hatred, and sadness. The hight of these emotions put together was almost unbearable. It almost resulted on some sort of pain consuming Razz's body. Razz slowly arose from the ground he was crouched over on. His eye was twitching with emotion. He whispered to himself, Help me... I can't let this evil overcome. I am more than a conquerer. Oh, holy spirit, help me.
Razz's body began to float into the air. His clothes began to wave, as if there was a powerful wind coming from the earth beneath him. Razz started to slowly spin whilst floating in mid-air, While spinning, he began to pick up speed. Soon, Razz became nothing but a mere blur. A reddish-orange light flashed. The same light flashed again. Then again. Soon, the blur named Razz was consumed in teh light. A flame started underneath his body. He caught on the fire also. The blaze dimmed, but rose up again. The flame grew bigger than ever, but it did no damage to Razz. It jsut made him stronger. His pupils turned to flames, his armbands also. The energy inside of him was incredible.
Garoun... You shall never be forgiven.
Garoun,"Oh no! I little man that's on fire won't forgive me!"
Garoun laughed once more.
Razz's eyes narrowed.
You will never be forgiven... because you will never leave this place alive.

Delita finally made it to the Outer Keep of Paranor. The Keeper Guard Captain acknowledged him and let him pass through to large steel and wooden gates. Delita continued on into the Inner Keep and made his way up to the tallest tower. More that 3 dozen guards were in the same room, guarding the same door at the top.

Delita: @$%*^(@(#$

Delita said a strange thing in a different language that seemed to be the password, as the guards moved out of the path of Delita.

Delita: Ah, finally. It is there. Undisturbed for decades, guards?

Guard 23 (Bremen): Yes, Delita. No one has touched it for 49 years, until now that is.

[!] Don't worry. Nothing super powerful. Or even that powerful.

Garoun battled on with the friends of the Winard kid, dodging and returning their blows with equally powerful hits. He continued to dwindle their efforts like nothing and suddenly leaped back a good 10 feet and blasted them with a holding spell of some sorts.

"Now I shall dismember you one by one." he smiled and turned his attention towards Neko. He grinned and took a step forward. The sky was pitch black, and soon small droplets of water rained down from above.

"The girl shall go first, her screams will be exquisit to my ears." he laughed and suddenly a huge demonic sword formed in his left hand. He took another step forward and the sky suddenly came to life. He looked up at the now clear skies and frowned. Such a nice day. He hated such.

But then something white appeared. A huge Pegasus appeared and shot a look down towards Garoun. The creature dived down from the sky and stopped 30 feet above Garoun, sending huge crashing gusts of wind down on him. He took the hit and fell back to the edge of the cliff. He looked forward at the crater the blast had caused and a human was standing there. It was him.

***
Sages eyes slowly opened up as he faced Garoun, his sword drawn and a green bracelet on his right wrist. His right arm was covered in elaborate green mystic runes, his adornments now a sleevless vest-like shirt and gray matching pants with black boots. His eyes calmly remained on Garoun, the hideous creature suprised that another foe would enter so harshly. Supprised that the foe would be Sage.

"You dare to face me!?" Garoun yelled, slashing his sword towards Sage. Sage just stood there, simply breathing and watching the monster talk big. His hand then clenched around his sword and before Gauron saw it coming Pegasus was next to Sage's side in a gust of wind. He gave the beautiful creatures nose a pat and shot an empty look towards Garoun. He turned away from the creature and closed his emrald green eyes.

"Pegasus, holy goddess of the wind, strengthen my wings and give me speed!" he souted and opened his eyes once more. The creature dissappeared and left a faint, warm green light. The light flew into the bracelet and Sage's runes began to give off a stronger light. He drew his sword and bekoned for Garoun to step forth. And so he did.

Faint winds came to Sage from all sides and he rushed forward waiting until the last minute to dodge Garoun's thrust at his face. He came up from underneath him and spun arround, planting his boot in the hellish being's face. He fliped off of him and simply stood their, waiting for him to continue.

Garoun rushed forward, angered and just before he brought down his sword he shot out a huge wave of darkness from his body. Sage simply let it hit, and rushed in once more, doing the same kick and flip. He stood his ground, not moving an inch. Garoun's anger was building. He let out a horrid scream and enveloped Sage in a fury and fists and swings. He just stood there, blocking and countering, and suddenly shot upwards, almost breaking Garoun's chin.

"I can't hit you! How can this be!?" he shouted out as Sage's face remaind calm as ever. He blinked once, his first sign of being of the same world and spoke up.

"You can't stand to have someone my age fight and win. Begon with you, you foul creature." he waved his hand and Garoun spit up some blood.

"Very well. I shall kill you next time myself."

"And I shall be waiting...." Sage replied and summoning up his dark powers, Garoun vanished. Sage continued looking to where Garoun once stood as his friends recollected themselves. He blinked once more and closed his eyes. He let out a sudden breath for air and the runes on his right arm dissappeared. He opened his eyes and turned towards the others, who thought they were dreaming. He turned his peaceful gaze on Neko and smiled.

"Hiya! Miss me?" he said in a playfull tone.

Neko struggled to release herself of Garouns spell, refraining the group from moving. She looked up at the large demon, in his fist appeared a luminant blade, larger than any she's ever seen. Neko could feel herself fall apart and began frantically trying to remove herself of his hellish grip. He lifted his large blade, the clouds above seem to gather as if to gaze down upon this evil deed he was about to commit. Neko turned her head and shut her eyes tightly, knowing that her life was to end as horribly as Sage's.

A swift sound blew her bangs lightly across her forehead and Neko slowly opened her eyes. As she turned to look ahead of her, in front of her was a large crater planted into the soft fertile ground. Neko nearly lost her balance, now able to move once again. In as quickly as a blink of an eye, there stood Sage, next to him a large horse and mounted on it's back two wings as elegant and beautiful as Sage's.

Garoun lept out of the crater, dirt and grass covered his dark colored attire. Once again summoning his blade, he charged at Sage, who stood calmly assured with his summon by his side. A battle commenced, and ended just as quickly at it began. the soaring horse returned to Sage's bracelet, and Neko knew then that he had found the wind bracelet.

He turned twards the group, and gave Neko a cheerful greeting. She turned away, wiping the tears from her eyes before taking a step closer to Sage. After doing so Neko walked up to him, amazingly, he didn't look injured at all.

"..You had us all worried. We saw the explosion..Well, glad to see you alive.. and dressed well She said to him as she pulled at his vest, observing the nicely woven fabric..

Romku looked on towards the bright light.  He was so relieved to see Sage again.  

"Hey man!!  You're b

Romku looked on towards the bright light.

Awww, man! I dind't even... I didn't even get ta use m...... ah, meh. Good to see ya back Sage!
The new found power that Razz obtained simply vanished. Razz didn't know how he got that power... maybe it was because there was an active bracelet near-by. Whatever it was, Razz didn't know how he could summon that power again.
The group was amazed and astonished at Sage's appearence.
So, dude! WHat was with that flying horse thing?
Sage simply showed the abcent minded Razz his bracelet.
Oh, oh yeah. Sweet.
Razz nodded, and the rest chuckled.
So, where we off to now?
Sage,"The village. Remember?"
Oh yeah, I forgot.

Romku stood in the shadows of the tree next to where they were.

"Well Sage, you got rid of Garoun, for now.  My job here is done, but I don't know what to do from here.  May I join for for a little longer Sage?"

Sage glanced over at Romku, a smile on his face.

"Well you saved the lives of my close friends. I cannot possibly begin to repay what you have done for me." he went on, looking over at Neko. He continued.

"But, Neko was the first one to bare a bracelet. So she shall decide where we go from here." he gave her a gentle hug and looked into her eyes.

"Are you up to leading this band of adventures? We need to get back to town and find Delita." he spoke in an ever so softly tone.

((Grah badness to the extreme XD ))

While Romi was thinking of what to do from there, Romku heard what Sage said and was touched.

"Parodn me for a minute, I'll be right back."

Romku jumped up into a high tree, not far from where they were.  A tear fell from Romku's eye.

"I can't believe I'm useful to them.  I thought I'd never become a good ally for them.  A spiriter is a type of warrior that isn't seen much anymore, and yet, they still accept me as one of them.  These guys are filled with pure energy.  What Sage said to me was kinda touching.  Not in a romantic way, I don't do that.  But what he said was cool.  I think I owe myself to them by staying with them."

Romku wiped up his tear and jumped back to the ground with the others.

"So, what's the plan?"

The warm hug from Sage turned Neko's a cheeks a rosey color red. She cleared her throught and looked up at Sage, his smile made her shift her eyes into another direction, but  straightening her back she covered it all up with her toughness.

" Um.. me? lead.. bah, that's not as difficult as it seems.. at least that's how it seems so far. " She said, taking a step back and crossing her arms in front of her.
" .. Sage's right.. we left Delita back there, we should go back to get him before anything else."

Neko smiled at Romku, it was great to see someone so eager like him on the team. His strength was amazing, perhaps he's stronger than he thinks, judging by the unsure expression on his face. He seemed to be zoned out, thinking about something so she turned towards the rest of the group.

" So.. Shall we get Going?" Neko asked as she picked a small leaf off hof her jacket..

((OoC: =X have to get to school, sorry guys!))

Sage glanced around at the others. He was glad to be back, even if he was only away for a bit. He looked towards Neko, and smiled.

God, if it wasn't for her, I'd never would have been able to protect the ones I love. he stretched out his deep blue wings and smiled. He looked around, it was dawn.

"Wow.....its early. Come on, lets go back to town!" he said and he suddenly closed his eyes. His hair began to blow in an unseen wind and he shot up his right arm.

"Pegasus! I call upon thee!" he shouted and this time, the horse came from a breeze that rushed up the side of the mountain. The horse landed and he smiled. He pet the little horsey (Horsey! XD) and grinned.

"May my comrades get a ride down the mountain? Or is this abuse of your powers?" the horse took a step back and shook her head. A female voice came from it. (No it doesn't talk)

"Sage, do not use this for personal gain, but you do wish to seek out your other friend. Yes you may....." the voice trailed off and Sage smiled.

"You heard the lady, you three hop on, I'll fly by your side. Once they were all on he grinned. He got into a pre running stance and laughed at them.

"Lets race!" he said and Pegasus clicked her hooves. She suddenly bolted forward and Razz almost fell off. Sage flew just as easily next to her, but his wing design made it harder to not wear down. Soon they were halfway to the town. When they landed they were outside of town.

"Whoo boy. I need to get faster!" Sage said excitedly as Pegasus dissappeared. Now to find Delita.

Neko jumped, surpised that the pegasus was so swift as to keep up with a small breeze. She patted the back of the horse gently and watched as Sage began to talk to the horse.
After he had his private conversation with the winged horse, the group was told to climb onto the back of Pegasus. Neko was unsure of this, but listened to the horse and climbed on.

"..I think we've gotten mixed up somewhere here Sage.." Neko said, already mounted on the horse and helping Romku up behind her.
" I've heard of owners listening to their horses.. but this is just ridiculous.." She said as she gave a playfully strange look towards Sage.

He grinned and spread his large steel blue wings as he took a running stance. Neko gripped tightly to the thick mane of the steed. Sage began to talk to Pegasus once again, Neko just stared at the two. She was almost jolted off of the winged horse as Pegasus took off quickly into the sky, racing Sage towards the village down below where Delita was.
Soon Pegasus landed, Neko was now hugging tightly around the horses neck. Her eyes were shut tightly and didn't open them until she was sure that Pegasus had landed. She opened one eye lid and realized that they were in the village. She sighed and lifted one leg over to climb off of Pegasus, but her attempt failed as she landed face first onto the dirt still dizzy from the quick ride down.

"...Yuck..pew" Neko said disgusted as she wiped the dirt from her face.

The group began towards the inn. Dawn was still upon them, so it would be the b3est place to look for him at the moment. A small bell placed above the inn door range gently as Neko pushed it open, following behind her her companions. Pegasus had returned to Sage's bracelet just before they had entered the inn, so no commotion would be caused amongst the villagers.
They headed upstairs and Neko pushed open Delita's door. It was unlocked, which wasn't suprising since this town seemed like q quiet small community, nothing like robberies and attacks were common here most likely. She walked over to the Edge of Delita's bed and began poking him gently.

" ...Delita.. time to wake up sleepy head.." She whispered loudly.

The group landed just outside of the quaint little town. Razz's eyes had dried up from all of the wind, so he just sat there on the horse rubbing his eyes. He didn't think to get off the horse. Sage called the horse back into his bracelet, and with a gust of wind, Razz fell to the ground.
Ow...
The four people headed to the town. The sky was dark, and the stars were out. Razz looked up at the million lights, shining and burning too far away to grasp. The group entered a small inn. It was a cute little palce. They found their way to Delita's room and quietly snuck in. Razz watched as Neko crept up and tried to awake Delita. Still asleep, Delita groaned and turned around.
Razz gently pushed Neko aside. Razz sat on the corner of delita's bed.
WAAAKE UP!!!!!!!
Razz pulled the pillow from underneath Delita and started beating him with it playfully.
Delita,"Who? Wha? Huh?! Ow!"

(Since Delita isn't here right now =3......)

Delita sat up straight and rubbed his eyes. Sage watched his comrade get up and stretch out his body.

"I'm glad we found you Delita." The windian stated and gave him a warm smile. Delita returned it.

"I'm glad you found the Wind Bracelet, I heard you fought long and hard up there." he said and picked up his stuff. Sage paused for a bit.

"Delita ho-"

"Lets go and get out of here, this place is boring. I found info on the third bracelet." he said happily cutting Sage off. The five friends left the inn and headed out of town. Right before they made it out of the towns gate Delita stopped Sage and pulled him to the side.

"Hey man, I have something for you." he said taking a few more steps back so the rest of the group wasn't in their line of vision. Sage looked around.

"You do? A relic perhapes?" he said looking down and adjusting his glove. When he looked up Delita had a set of black wings. He blasted Sage right in the chest and sent the windian back through a wall. He turned into a shadow-like creature and grew twice the size of Garoun.

The others saw Sage get hit and looked on. It wasn't Delita. Sage got up a bit stunned, really pissed, and ready to fight.

"Oh no, its a Doppleganger!" Romku shouted taking back Neko and Razz. The Doppleganger stepped forward and suddenly lunged at Sage at an amazing speed. As if like water, the shadow was flat on the ground still coming. Sage took a step back and blasted a fire spell at it but it slid to the side and kept coming. At the last moment, perhapes five feet infront of Sage, it bounded up in the air straight for his open mouth and they next thing that happened, the strong warrior of the wind bracelet fell to his knees. He lay motionless infront of everyone, some townspeople stopped to watch as well. His blue eyes had a dead look in them, and they thought it was over.

Suddenly the Windian twitched and his hand clasped against the dirt ground. He got up on his knees, his eyes closed. His legs trembeled as he got up, and then he stood tall. He turned his attention towards Neko, who had ran up to him. He smiled with icey blue eyes and suddenly shot out his hand, backhanding her across her gentle face. The others ran to her aid as he drew his sword, intent to kill his comrades.

Silent but his goals set, Sage turned his attention on.......Razz.

((=D Okies! Um Dopplegangers, I know, are really mere copys of someone or they can do that. But this is a special one! *makes it up* Where he only copies to get into another persons body. Now don't instantly free Sage okies? We need to kill some time before the third bracelet and so yeah. I'm sorry! I sound so bossy!))\n\n

No sooner than the words rolled off of Romku's tounge, Razz immediately turned around in Sage's direction. He saw Sage backhand Neko. Razz watched as Sage turned his attention on him. Razz could look into his eyes, Sage was there, but was trapped inside. This, of course, pissed Razz right off.
The two stared each other straight in the eyes for a while and then Sage practically vanished.
Whut thuh!
BANG!! The doppleganger kicked Razz in the back oh his head causing Razz to fall painfully to the ground. Razz got up and gave Sage a fed-up look.
Punk...
Razz shot up into the air and came down with legs stretched behind him, waiting to be shot forward. Razz kicked, but he kicked nothing. The doppleganger dodged the blow with no efort. Razz's eyes narrowed. He punched the creature in the stomach, but then hesitated to do it again. He realized that this was Sage's body and he didn't want to kill his own friend. Razz backed off towards the group.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO! We can't kill Sage!
Razz and the group looked quite a bit stressed about this.
And what if it learns how to use the bracelet? Could it call the Pegasus? Would the Pegasus go against us if It did?!

Romku was stunned with what he saw.

"Razz is right, Sage is still alive, we have to do something!!

DoppleSage continued to wreak havock on the two members that were fighting him. He blocked a kick from Razz and grabbed onto his leg, swinging the young fighter in a circular motion. His hands let go and he flung Razz into the second floor of a nearby shop, creating a nice sized hole in the wall.

He began a slow walk towards Neko, swinging his deadly blade nonchalantly, an evil grin plastered on his face. Suddenly Romku came out of nowhere and flying kicked him in the chest, sending him back a good 10 feet. He landed standing up and took a step forward, only to find himself being dropkicked from behind by Razz.

DoppleSage gave them all a frustrated look and as they regrouped infront of Neko, their old friend gave them a sly grin.

"Pheonix...." he simply said but somehow, this was a different version. Instead of him flying past them with the flames of the legendary bird on his heels, a copy of him came up. It looked like a shillouet oh him, and suddenly it commenced the move and zoomed past Romku and Razz, washing them over with searing flames. Once they were blasted back, DoppleSage began his short walk to victory. He would kill Neko, take the bracelet, then destroy the body, or perhapes he would keep it. But the bracelets would first seek out Garoun. He took another step forward.....

Neko ran up to the stunned Sage, lifting himself from the ground. He looked over at her, each stared at eachother silently. As Neko looked into the the calming eyes of Sage, she noticed something strange about the way he looked at her, but before she had the chance to back away from him, The possessed warrior lifted his hand and struck Neko across the face.
Her heart skipped a beat as she collapsed onto her knees, shocked. Tears swelled in her eyes, her nose turned a red color and she gently felt her cheek. Everything seemed to pass so quickly around her as she sat there, the throbbing pain of the slap spread across her face, and she knew that Sage wasn't himself. This wasn't the friend she once had.
Her eyes shifted at her wounded and tired companions as flames engulfed there bodies, although they did their best to defend themselves with their magic, leaving only minor burns on their skin.
A shadow shaped over the area that Neko sat upon and as she looked up above her, there stood Dopplganger in Sage's body. In his hand was Sage's blade, he lifted it and broguht it down towards the almost defenseless Neko. Quickly Neko unsheathed her own and the two mighty blades clashed, Neko pushed the mighty warrior away.

" You're not Sage, you Coward! Hiding behind anothers body shows nothing but your fear! Why don't come out!" She yelled out, a tear escaped her eyes in frustration and ran down her pale cheek.


((OoC: Oo"))\n\n

DoppleSage stumbled back a bit from Neko's block, but he wouldn't be stopped. He raised his sword above his head and tightened his grip. Just as he brought it down he cried out.

"No!" he shouted out, standing upright. He began to strugle with himself, and soon their were two voices yelling out. One was Sage's innocent, loving voice. The other was a deep voice filled with hatred.

"Get the f*** out you bastard!!!" Sage cried out, trying to stop the sword from going down on his closest friend. He strugled a bit more and suddenly let out a frustrated scream, throwing the sword away. He clenched his head and fell to his knees, trying to gain control over his body. He couldn't lose.

"Goddamnit leave me alone!!!!" He cried out, his body feeling like it was going to be torn to shreds. Suddenly the wind bracelet shined a holy light and he arched his back, screaming as loud as he could. A white flash emitted from the bracelet and once it died down, he saw Neko looking at him.

"N-neko....samaaaah..." he trailed off and landed on his knees, then, face first in the soft ground. His body ached, but he was finally free. He slipped away from this world and fell fast asleep, glad that he at least saved a loved one.

[OOC] Lmao, "One was Sage's innocent, loving voice" "Get the f*** out you bastard!!!" lmao, sorry, I just found that a bit funny. o.O[/OOC]

Razz gazed upon the body of Sage. He layed there on the ground, confused. He watched Sage battle himself and fall to his knees. He could see the change in Sage by his eyes, he could see the pain by his face. Razz could do nothing but stay where he lay and remain motionless. Not a single expression on his face, he just stared in Sage's direction. Soon, his vision trailed off, not to what he could see, but what he could think. It was strange, however, because Razz didn't know what to think. Soon after, he heard Sage's voice trail off to nothing. Razz quickly got up and rushed to Sage's passed out body.
phew...
Razz didn't know what to say at that time... but a smile crept onto his face. He patted Sage on his shoulder and stood up.
That was... funky.

((Oye this will be very short))

Romku looked down at Sage.  He could tell that the Doppelganger left him.  Romku was happy, and relieved.

"Sage, are you alright?!  I know you're not bad anymore!  Talk to me man!"
