Ethral Range

Viper covered up her mouth and began to cough as the amount of power escaped his body... It was making her ill. Due to her coughing, she did not see the small attack come at her, but it did and the Darkness began to drive her mad. The spirits in her head began to whisper the same thing.the cliff, the cliff, take off from the cliff. She did not breath in anything around her as she calculated her very slim chance of survival... BUT it was either, jump, or let the b*****d have his way and kill her... She knew her answer. She was not going to let someone as consumed by power as he Kill her that easily. She backed up to the very edge and Gave Teran a cunning smile. She couldnt speak, as she had yelled so loud it had caused her to lose her voice, but the still spoke out the words with her lips. I'd rather take my own life, then allow you too She then closed her eyes and fell from the cliff, disappearing into the mist.
The air was starting to clear the further she fell... They were really high up there, as she fell, like the water, she began to worry... she needed to slow herself down!... She reached out to the roots. They whipped her hand, and while it stung she managed to slow her fall down, just a tiny bit. About 3/4s of the way down, She found a thick enough root, and grabbed for it. The action, she heard a popping sound, then no longer could feel anything in her arm. She looked down, gritting her teeth and righted herself so she wouldnt be plunging head first. She took her useless arm and crossed her hands over her chest and feet straight, to brace for the impact. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath, suddenly feeling the icy n** of the water consume her body, not moments later....

It seemed nearly hours before Viper opened her eyes, She was not sure where she was at first. Once she remembered that she was surrounded by water she looked around, then tried to swim up, a sudden pain attacking her foot as she tried to move it... She looked down, to see nothing attacking her and was pretty sure the fall had broken something. With her dead arm and throbbing foot, she let the current take her a bit. She made for the surface as soon as she found the current not so strong, which was a good thing, her lunges were screaming from lack of air... she wasnt sure if she were seeing little specks or black dots.

She managed to break to the surface, gasping up as much air as she could get, she looked around, Waterfall was up river... a little ways. she looked around and noticed it had not even become dark out yet. She then remembered her sword and looked around in panic. She brought up her good arm, and found it in her grip, a line of where it had cut her down her arm. Most likely from the impact of the water. She was bleeding. She was near a brink though... and grabbed onto a rock and pulled herself up, to crawl out of the water, the task much harder with one arm and a foot.... with Her corrupted blade in her mouth, she crawled on her knees, and made it onto the sand shore. She laid there a moment, then began coughing up the extra water that had found its way into her lunges... She then gasped and panted. She felt so broken... But she was alive, Though it was not because of her strength, she was sure it was Spirit that saved her...

She looked around, the forest was slightly above her, looking forward, she saw a wall of earth, rising the forest grounds from the river in a small section. She managed to crawl over to it and then struck the black sword into the earthy wall. She was drenched, and shivering and knew in thsi state, she wouldnt last an hour. The first thing she needed to do though... She took in a deep breath, propped her self against the wall, and then quickly relocated her shoulder, back into place. The Popping sound echoing in her head as she wanted so badly to cry out, at how very painful it was. With it done though, she took in deep breaths and steadied herself... Then began to remove what little there was that remained in her sleeves. Most of her supplies gone, carried away. She had managed to save the wraps she had used on her feet, and three of her spike needles... That was it though. She sighed, then took off her Kimono. and placed it on her sword to dry. Underneath her Kimono, a corset the color of Maroon, laid underneath it. Her armor. This corset had been given to her, from then ancient battle had occured, made with three thick pieces of leather, could take the blunt of any blow given, and the most that would occur, a mere bruise... Though right now, it had absorbed enough water to cause her to sufficate. She removed it and was able to place it too on her sword to dry... Underneath her armor she had on a long tunic, the same length as her Kimono, but with no sleeves. It was a tan color, a little lighter then her skin color, but it was thin enough where it would dry quickly. But she needed heat. Her worn, exhausted body was still cold. She took in a deep breath, then blew outwards, an enormous amount of flame exploded and it the ground infront of her. She stopped after a moment and there infront of her, floated a campfire sized flame... Mid air. " Possession of a soul less object..." She smiled weakly. This fire needed no kindleing. It would also produce no smoke, as it was not burning anything. She laid down, near the brink of passing out. Last time I EVER travel with a group of men She joked to herself. It let her ease her mind of fear, so just a moment, as she drifted off into a deep slumber. the fire floating near her, helped warm her up, and dry her dripping clothes.... She would deal with her wounds later.

Incapable of feeling pity or regret by the powerful waves of darkness and destruction at the people he knew, Itazuki stood leaning over, his own form of darkness shrouding and billowing up from his body. It clouded his head then crammed deep in his pours turning his skin black but then suddenly white shined through the black shade of death. Now something was happening, Teran was attacking the people Itazuki once cared for but those feelings slowly drifted away as the red eye formed into the shape of a line then slithered up the blackened blade then embed itself in his skin, shivers jolted through his body then poured out in a black fog of rot. The eye crawled and tore its way below Itazuki chest. He sighed from the relief of stress and pain. He took a step forward and looked in the abyss that was Teran’s hate and misery. He was full of it, the worlds corruption as he so called it was now be revealed. It seemed as though Itazuki was mimicking Teran’s transformation or Teran was coping Itazuki’s, but as Itazuki pones on his jaw pierced his flesh there were some differences. A hiss of black pain collected around the tips of his white bone then fell like black dew drops.

Itazuki took a step forward, his left pupil completely dilating, it was eating his entire eye, engorging on its brightness then overfilling on his flesh. A black and purple aura spiraled around the tip of his blade then he slashed forward, causing a rift in space to open and reveal a world of utter darkness, he hopped inside. The gates of a black mouth closed and Itazuki would soon appear some where else ready to attack.

He waited silent caught in between worlds, stuck in his own, no light existed, the only thing that was, was the absence of matter. Dark matter, it filled his lungs, gave him a boost of physical and mental stamina. He slashed once more, instead of darkness seeping out, light from the sun seeped through and burned his pale face, and Itazuki was a creature of eternal despair, having no reserve for life. As he looked through the crack of space he saw the back of Teran. This ability to transport himself became useful and now he made a grin, teeth like jagged blades of ivory. He lunged forward going through the gap, with his sword rising above his head a ball of black suddenly exploded then solidified into a ball a little bit bigger then a baseball. This meant the beam itself would be smaller but faster then the massive ray of dark matter. Itazuki slashed only inches away from Teran and when he reached the tip of his attack, the sphere started to crack with light shining through then a beam that was ten feet wide cascaded out and pierce the man whole.

Now being this was Teran, Itazuki expected this would have little effect, he could simply let it go straight through and it have no effect on him. With this he shot out sphere forty feet around Teran and Itazuki leaving the others out of the battle, if they were to join they would be destroyed.
 

[Doctor Corn]

Alex sighed at the oncoming darkness that threatened to kill them all. Watched as the woman fled. Watched as Itazuki became wrapped up in the evil of his weapon and began to attack the fallen warrior of light. Alex enlargened Kozuchi Ozuchi and placed it in front of the oncoming black death and forced his hammer to devour as much of it as it could. This blocked enough of it to keep Alex and the rest whom stayed upon the cliff to be safe, but for how long Alex had no idea. Itazuki enclosed himself and Teran inside a barrier of darkness, but Alex knew that this would not last. Somewhat drunk from the influx of power from Kozuchi Ozuchi, Alex channeled the overbearing energy into Judgement and fired exactly twelve shots into the barrier. They would certantly pierce the shield without breaking it, and may cause some damage to the two darkness wielders. Alex hoped that they wouldn't hurt Itazuki, but the light bullets screamed in ainxiety to plunge themeslves into someone corrupted by the darkness. Alex sat down, uncorked a wineskin, and took a drink. He would need to conserve his strength if he hoped to survive an onslaught from Teran and possibly Itazuki. Tossing the wineskin over to Calypso, he spoke to him. "Drink. It will help you keep your strength longer in this fight. Give it to Riki or Orochi when you're done. Were going to need all the help we can get if we all plan on surviving." Alex said casually, watching the barrier for any sign of life.

Kozuchi Ozuchi gave a small wiggle. It wanted to fight. Soon...... soon thought Alex.  

[Hakora vi Britannia]

Riki fell from the tree and crashed on the earth. "Dang trees, they don't make them as they use to. Hiding? Psh, I was watching a fight and you showed up, I took advantage of my position, Teran."

The darkness began to fill the area and it felt like millions of daggers were pricing Riki, the pain was almost unbearable. The light inside Riki spoke while the flesh of Riki battled with the pain and made his body fall to the ground.

"Teran, you are not lost. Remember who you really were. You are a killer now, but when I was a child I remember you. You were a great hero and one I wanted to grow up to be like. No matter if I die here I will keep one thing to my heart, the will that drives me to fight against you. YOU ARE STILL A HERO, YOU ARE SILL MY HERO!!!"

Riki's body could not handle all the darkness around him. He fell to the ground, but still alive."The light, focus on the light! His darkness can't hope to beat the smallest of light!"Riki stayed alive on the ground and used his strength to bring him back to his knees. The pain continued but he never screamed or gave out a plea he just sat on his knees looking at Teran, wondering if he was going to kill him before Riki could see his hero once more.  

[Agent Code Monkey]

The platinum haired warrior's time to be a comedian was cut short when the girl decided to give the false god a piece of her mind. She began to explain how he was a murderer and that a portion of the earth was destroyed because of his destruction. Calypso listened to the girl and realized quick that it was not the voice of the girl from before; something else was in her.

"Now that things are over with you and Teran, maybe we can focus on the future involving you and i? This can be our first date if you want." Calypso told the girl trying to kill the seriouness in most situations like he always does.

However something other than a woman caught his attention; the return of alex. He felt the earth rumble once more which would seem to ruin Calypso's chances of hooking up with the girl a bit more. Why couldn't alex make a more quiet entrance; better yet, why couldn't alex make an entrance that involved striking the false god? Calypso was the mouth of the operation, noone else. Yet similar to the girl, Alex gave Teran a piece of his mind as well but seemed to insulted everybody when he mentioned that Teran had enough power to kill everyone here and that he was some sort of hero.

"If he had enough power to destroy us, don't you think he would have done it by now. Oh wait, he hasn't, because he DOSEN'T have enough power to destroy us. All he has acquired is a new makeover, bad odor, and a deeper voice. To me it seems like puberty just kicked in for out false god here. Next he'll start having funny things happen to him after looking at the girl a bit too much." Calypso joked.

Teran did not seem to let Calypso get into his skin yet and continued to talk more about his immortality and that he will show everyone a taste of his power if they do not believe him.

"WHY DOES EVERYONE PUT THE DARKNESS ELEMENT ON A HIGHER LEVEL THAN THE OTHER ELEMENTS?" Calypso cried out in a agitated tone. "Darkness is overrated; i've seen what darkness can do and i was not impressed. Unless you had a fetish for the boogeyman when you were younger, it's not a cup of tea. At least if you had control of the element of wind, earth, water, or any of the OTHER six elements, then maybe i would consider creating a strategy as on how to beat you down with one hand."

"As for you so-called immortality." The platinum haired said before laughing at Teran. "If you really think that immortality is that hard to obtain and that it involves darkness, i have news for you' it's not. Of course a real demigod would have known that. Looks like you've just lost your credibility on being a false god and gained more credibility on just being a worthless, pathetic, crybaby sack of shi-"

Just as Calypso was going to finish, Teran had enough of the platinum haired warrior's mouth and attempted to shut it by realising a powerful darkness projectile that even gave the false god some recoil. Calypso wanted to show off his new stage of power the second Teran shot a wave of darkness, but instead he resisted temptation and quickly dashed away from the direction of the waterfall until he out of the clear of the darkness attack but caused him to jump when it connected with the earth. Luckily Calypso rolled when he landed, causing only minute pain that lasted seconds.

When Calypso turned around to face Teran, he got front rock seats to see Teran launched multiple beams of darkness towards the only girl in the group. Calypso threw his hand out of instinct, yelling at her to move but it looked like it was the end for the girl. The darkness beams connected with the ground and the next image the platinum haired warrior saw was the girl falling to her death. Though it was unsure if the girl fell on purpose for if anyone was going to end her life, it was going to be her.

"That was the only chick on our entire TEAM! THIS WAS GOING TO BE OUR FIRST DATE!" Calypso yelled out in a joking and anger tone. It seemed difficult to take him serious when he said that. Then again, not concerned for the girl's health, but that it became a boys club, it wasn't hard.

One by one it seemed that their group was being taken out. Just as Calypso was going to make a move, he saw an arrow fly towards the corrupted chest of the false god. Calypso would be lying to himself if he thought that the arrow was going to do actual damage; to make matters worse it was a dark arrow. Calypso looked to see who shot the arrow and it was the apprentice of Itazuki. Calypso only wondered why on EARTH did Riki think that a dark arrow was going to do any damage. If anything that would have corrupted Teran more and made him a bit more stronger. Not to mention clash with the small bit of good that was inside of him. If they escaped this alive, then Riki was going to hear it from Calypso.

Unfortunately, Riki did not seem like he was going to be around to hear Calypso's harsh criticism or to duel the platinum haired warrior because once Teran easily stopped the arrow from connecting to flesh, he launched the same attack from before; the projectiles connected perfectly and Riki's body collapsed onto the floor.

The flames that Orochi launched were mostly targeted towards the tree behind Riki, but the flame that even targeted Teran was blocked without much difficulty. Calypso looked back at teran with a somewhat suprised face as the false god was taking out the group one by one. Anyone who was left was going to be next on Teran's list and it began with a massive explosion of darkness that had a range that seemed to carry over beyond them. An extreme defense was necessary if Calypso was going to make it out alive.

Relinquished Daemon was a technique unable to be copied so when Calypso tried, access was denied. The platinum haired warrior then attempted to mimic the technique that was responsible for bringing them here in the first place; the rift cutter.

Calypso had already saw the technique so all he had to do was summon, channel his blade and all of a sudden, the platinum haired warrior unleashed 3 slices with speed the average eye cannot keep up with and threw up his improved lightning forcefield just in case there was a flaw that prevented the platinum haired warrior from copying the technique.

If successful however, then the 3 slices left the atmosphere with wounds that combined in less than seconds to create the rift from before. The rift was big enough to send more than three people to another place, so when the darkness headed towards Calypso, large portions around Calypso were being sucked in the rift. The electric forcefield was to protect Calypso even more for not all of it was being sucked in. Calypso would have initated TWO strong defenses; not it was Itazuki and alex's turn.

Alex's form of defense was a bit similar to Calypso only it did not involve protecting everyone around him. Kozuchi Ozuchi, the signature weapon belonging to alex began to suck up the darkness like the rift Calypso created. With Calypso and Alex's similar defense techniques, more than likely the two warriors was going to be safe after this. This also meant that Alex, Calypso, and Itazuki were the main guys that looked like they were going to carry this group.

"Aww look as us; you know it ALMOST looked like we planned that out together."

Itazuki however warrior stepped up to the plate and instantly appeared behind the false god known as Teran Ferox. Since Calypso was buzy watching the events take place between the girl and Riki, he was unaware of the transformation that Itazuki took. All Calypso saw was Itazuki appearing behind Teran and unleashing what looked like a sword beam of dark matter and attempted to seperate Teran into two. Lastly, a barrier 40 feet in diameter was conjured keeping the two warriors corrupted with darkness in, and preventing anyone from entering.

The majority of the darkness was gone from the cliff. With that out the way, Alex tried to crack the barrier by sending twelve projectiles with his weapon. They proved effective in creating a crack or two, but nowhere near breaking it.

"Looks like they want us out of this. It's almost like a date between the two; only there is no cheap wine, fake roses, and a unpaid check." Calypso told Alex.

Alex did not seem to find that funny as he took a seat, deciding that it was best to wait for the outcome. In the meantime, he took out a wineskin and enjoyed a portion of the beverage before handing it to the platinum haired warrior.

"Ah, looks like we have the cheap wine after all. Is it strawberry flavored?" Calypso asked in a joking manner.

While Alex did not give him an answer on flavor, he did explain that it would delay the drop of his power, which meant that he would be able to last longer. Calypso looked at the wineskin for a few seconds and thought about passing on the offer; this was a result of his arrogance. However the marital artist part of Calypso kicked in, and that anything that was going to help him become stronger of help him in fights was okay with Calypso.

Even if it was the darkness element.

"Alright fine i'll take a drink; it better be strawberry though because if not.."

Calypso drunk out of the wineskin, managing to get some good gulps out of it. After about five to eight gulps, the platinum haired warrior let out a baby belch and smacked his lips a bit before giving his review on the drink.

"Okay..that was definitely not straberry, but it did have a weird taset to it, like grapeftuit Calypso said towards Alex before attempting to toss the drink towards Riki.

The platinum haired warrior looked towards the position that Riki was in before and hoped that he was still alive. If so, then there was no way he would be able to survive against the platinum haired warrior. Fortunately, Riki looked like he was still in the game; he was just on his knees, looking at the massive dome, trying to predict what was going on. Calypso also managed to see the fire user as well.

"YOU TWO SHUT UP AND DRINK, UNLESS YOU WANT THIS PLACE TO BE YOUR GRAVE." Calypso yelled towards Riki and Orochi.

The platinum haired warrior did not know their name, but hopefully they would look. When they did, Calypso slinged the wineskin with little effort towards the warriors. The speed that the wineskin was traveling was to where in less than a second, it would be inches away from Riki. It was a clever way to show off Calypso's speed. Of course, Calypso was unaware of Agito so the wineskin may have to be fought for depending on Agito's status after the darkness attack.

Calypso turned his attention back to the massive barrier that was designed to keep the warrios out. Calypso got the message and dismissed his weapon before dropping to one knee and began to see who was going to come out alive alongside Alex.

" Just to let you know, when we get out of this, the next destination is MY call."(5)  

[Hakora vi Britannia]

Riki lifted his hand and caught it and looked at Calypso's defense. "Why didn't I think of that?" Riki used what was left in him to stand, as the darkness kept hitting Riki he noticed that it wasn't too bad. He drew his blade and spun it on the ground around him and then slammed his blade into the ground as the plasma around him began to make a bright shield to keep the darkness at bay.

Riki drink from the wineskin and then yelled at Caltpso. "WHAT IS THIS? STRAWBERRY?"

Riki just sat there as the darkness kept coming and decided it was time to pass the time and pulled out some cards. He started building a card tower and then yelled at the false god. "Hey Teran! Got any threes?....No, fine be that way. Hey Calypso, got any cards over there?"

Riki just sat there now wondering what to do while the darkness just kept coming. He remembered the girl fell. "Great, now I'm surrounded by hormones, every guys dream..."

The time just went on and on and finally he yelled out, "So are we just going to sit here and listen to his lecture or are we going to run or even fight? I mean, like Calypso said, its just the dark element. I have plasma and that fire user has...well fire, you have Lightning and the two other dudes have....something."  

[Baksuetai_Tenshi]

After a few good hours of sleep, Viper woke up to a setting sun, a swollen ankle and a bloody arm with sand stuck to it. She frowned, but said nothing as she went to mend herself. She licked up the bloody arm, spitting it out and away, as she really was in no condition to move twords the water.. and she knew no water magic. with her water skin gone too... this trip would be more based on her instinct then anything else.
Once the her wound was cleaned... she grabbed one of he three needles, pushed the tip of it into the fire, and pulled some thread from her tunic. She then took in a deep breath, threaded the needle and sewed the giant gash in her arm up. It hurt like hell... and her eye began to sting a little as she near finishing. Once done, she bite the thread off the needle, too part of the gauze she still had been able to salvage, and wrapped the wound up to protect it from anything that would infect it.. if it wasnt infected already...
She then examined her foot. It was swollen and red, not bruised... and she sighed, She had merely sprained her ankle. Which was far bettwer then breaking her foot, as she had nothing to mend it properly. She sighed.... She needed to get moving soon, her sprain disabled her to walk.... she was reluctant to preform The Cold Touch. She closed her eyes and began to shiver... this was bad. She took a deep breath.. She touched her ankle gently, and then began to channel then energy of all that was around her, and make then energy flow into her body, speeding up the healing process of her sprained ankle, to mere minutes, instead of weeks. Around her, one tree began to wilt... Tears ran down her face, she could not control these tears. she could stand it no longer after 3 minutes and she pulled back both her hands and gasped, her body shuttering uncontrolably. the tears as well. The spirits in her head, began to go into a furry after after she had used it.
she laid back down and held her head, allowing the Spirits to become outraged with her. The tree, who began to wilt, would never be able to gain that life back... it would forever have lost all its leaves, good health and ability to bud if it did so. It looked dry and haunting. She took deep breaths, then drifted into an uneasy slumber, once again.  

[Doctor Corn]

Alex sighed when he realized that Calypso was once again running his mouth to Teran, and what was worse was theat Riki joined in as well. At least they had both managed to get a good drink of the wine, which was definitely not strawberry. Alex looked at the barrier, and was pleased to see that his light bullets had managed to pierce the barrier, which was good. Maybe the bullets would hurt Teran a little, but Alex knew better. After all, Teran had once been a powerful light warrior. Alex settled in, still staring at the barrier.  

[Awesome Sensei]

The destruction was coming to the soon to be dead fighters on the range. The cliff was shaking vigorously, it seemed that the darkness was not only effecting the earth, but the cliff as well, as the tint of the light brown ground began to turn a purple color, the sky no longer grey, but pure black. The clouds were beginning to come towards Teran, like a magnet, as they spun around him, a storm coming from the massive amounts of destruction he was doing the the range. The screaming of the lost souls of the range were showing up, the fighting disrupting their eternal sleep, bringing only the pain that they felt in the horrible lives, brought to its end by children of darkness, and awakened by darkness itself. That was not a problem, because the fighting was soon to end.

Viper, the young woman, was a nuisance, her simple comment ripping apart the insides of the devil, yet it did not matter for her death was here. The way she fell, the elegance of her incoming death, the lack of words, yet the overflowing of emotion as the end came. It was euphoric. That feeling left the monster floating in the air, for the feeling of life in her body dimmed, yet did not leave. The extreme despair that was within her was not enough, it was never enough to satisfy the one who only wanted to hear her screams, like the rest of the souls woken from eternal damnation. While it seemed as though he was glad for this destruction, the pained feelings of them not dieing was tearing the monster apart. It was strange, the fact that he could kill them in an instant, and yet refused to do so, it made him angrier. The berserk beast, if it was still able to be called a beast, because it was so much worse, it was terrorizing its own mind, while it hurt everyone else. Sanity was lost from this creature, after killing one, the cycle began, and because of the failed chance to inflict the wrath of hell on Viper, the berserk and avid devil was more inclined to kill someone, and more in necessitous to destroy them, and rip their souls from their bodies, and devour there lives.

The sadness continued, and the lust for the death of those around him continued, the cold feeling in his heart growing, the coursing difference in his body caused a clashing feeling, so confusing, so powerful, so amazing. Teran did not know what to do, for he was stuck within this hell that he needed to survive, without it, his day would never come, and he would be stuck in the night forever. There was no time to think of such thoughts, as Itazuki made a large amount of dark matter around him. it was not useful at all, except for a trap that Itazuki would regret, for now, no one could help him. It was a cage for the man, and his friends would not be able to assist, Teran could break it in a second, while they could not. the man appeared behind him, slashing at his back, his rock hard skin made a screeching sound as it cut, a loud sharp sound, like metal cutting across rock. Teran was possessed by this power, as the bones in his neck began to snap, he turned his head completely behind, to look at itazuki. "Ah,dark matter, not actually darkness element, yet strong indeed. To bad it consumes you, for only the weak minded are taken...like me, and now you" Teran's head finished turning, completely around. Lifting his left arm, he grabbed the top of his temple, and yanked upward, the sound of his neck fixing itself was grotesque, to loud and terrible to describe.

It was time for Itazuki to be punished, not death, yet something worse. "Come now child, show me what you got...rescue yourself from the mouth of darkness. You have fallen to far into the wicked." Opening his mouth, a large amount of black energy began to wrap around the dome that they were both contained within. The dark energy burnt the skin, and ripped apart the flesh, causing intense burns. Teran was uneffected from his diamond skin, the twisting and rotating energy could cause death to any one, and yet this was only a game for the fiend. The mass of darkness was growing, seeing in front of your face was impossible, and Teran was sure that Itazuki had already left, that or he was dead. The dome around him was still around him, and sticking out his claw, Teran slashed a single time, with his claw, a large crucify flying from each talon, instantly breaking the barrier. After it was broken, Teran felt a slight sting on his stomach, and itched his chest, it was strange, it was like twelve pebbles just hit him in the chest. Unknowing they were bullets, he dismissed it as rocks, as they hurt like nothing.

The barrier that surrounded Itazuki and Teran had broken, and the darkness within it fell around them, it headed towards them, while not as much as relinquished daemon as it was not concentrated in the now open air, they would have trouble if it hit them directly, burning and rotting the flesh was not enjoyable, or at least to normal humans. Turning, it seemed as though they were resting, and laughing with each other. This enraged the god further. "You think that would stop me...and you rest? Die incompetent failures..." Teran rushed forward, his huge claw glowing extremely brightly. He was doing close combat, something that he was far better then most at.

They were all coming, wanting to stop the death that was sure to come, it was something that was inevitable. Riki was trying to convince Teran "You are still a hero right? Does a hero do this?" The anti hero laughed, instantly, without a moments notice, a colossal figure of a devil appeared in Teran's eyes, as he flapped his wings, multiple tiny objects shooting from his wings. They looked like gusts of black wind, within the wind, black solid blades were within, not actual metal, but solid, and painful. They swept up towards Riki, who was only feet away from Teran. The large amount of energy placed into the attack did not seem to effect the monster in the slightest, as he smiled and cackled, high on power.

Calypso was on a single knee, perfect, already bowing to his new ruler. "I am not good at much, but I am good at killing, so lets get this over with alright!" Taking long strides, yet slowly increasing speed in his strides, Teran was beginning to rush towards Calypso. With the complete control of lightning that he possessed, it was a good match for his darkness, yet he did not have enough to stop the gigantic claw that was Teran's former arm. The attraction like a magnet to death was just an illusion to his real feelings, and that was pain. If he did not kill, he would feel pain. The dopamine in his body was being eaten by the darkness, he was a druggy, and death was his drug of choice. He needed it, and his target was Calypso. Stabbing his arm forward, it was close range, just enough to rip through Calypso's entire body, the claw was so large, a simple dodge would still hit, he would need a complete block, or run extremely far, extremely fast.

He could hardly stand looking at them, they were going to live, that was sure if they stayed as optimistic. The feeling of puking was so intense, Teran just wanted to slaughter a city, so he would not have to feel there pride in the thought of survival. He would never forget the disgrace he felt when they went against them, and it was finally time for them to see how little hope they really had.

"You had better be ready... for I am angry... I am almost ready to change again... "  

[Doctor Corn]

Alex's stomach curled itself into a knot of despair as the demonic figure appeared from the shattered remains of Itazuki's barrier. The darkness of the barrier met with a protecting swirl of wind that Alex produced. Though blocking most of it, there was still enough dark matter left to produce a burn on Alex's left arm. Qucikly cooling the burn with chilled air, Alex looked just in thime to see a monstrous form rip past him. Teran was attacking Calypso, whose lightning attacks were mostly useless. A claw hurtled at Calypso, but so did another object. This one was easily twice as big as Teran. The engorged head of Kozuchi Ozuchi barreled down upon Teran, and would meet Teran before Teran would hit the platinum haired warrior. Alex grimaced and awaited the impact that would surely follow the hammer slamming into the side of Teran. This would easily send a normal person flying, but Alex had a feeling that this would do little more than a hard shove to Teran. However, this would probably save Calypso's life.

Viper awoke in mere minutes. The spirits giving thier feeling of Teran's emotions. She suddenly smiled, then began to laugh. which scared her, but brought her such great relief. "Teran, so angery, hes become fearful!" she yelled, twords the waterfall. It seemed that the people she once traveled with, would not be killed. She smiled to herself, for the first time in her life, just smiling.
Though she still felt the sorrow built up inside her from her horrible deed.... She was better, able to walk, able to move on, able to survive. " may their Survival be well worth it" She gave a quiet prayer to them. Then stood up, placed her armor back on, then got dressed and removed Cherry Blossom from the tree, and jumped up and onto the enterance of the forest that loomed above her. she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and useing the black sword for support, headed in. Wondering what this place held, in terms of power and survival

Riki quickly grabbed his blade as Teran approached. He let his blade erupt in plasma and started knocking and burning away the simple attack. He stopped as it stopped and one was in his shoulder. He ripped it out and held it like a throwing knife between two fingers. He hurled the sharp piece of darkness at the back of Teran's head.

He then thought of a plan to keep him from killing his group. He took his blade and sent a large plasma scar horizontally into the forest. Trees began to fall all around but most importantly most of them were falling on the demon. "close, but a hero would do that. Some ultimate power you are."

"JUST DRINK IT!" Calypso replied in a bit of anger towards Riki. Calypso was not on his knees at the brink of death so he was able to make smart alec comments. Riki on the other hand just needed to drink the wine like it was his last drink ever and then give some to Orochi.

Calypso wanted to break the awkward silence that was between himself and Alex, but he seemed to be too focused on what was going on in the barrier. Not to mention he was getting more irritated by Riki when he mentioned the card game go fish. Maybe if it was a texas hold em joke, Calypso would reply, but that did not happen.

Luckily Riki managed to ask a question that would break the silence between the two. It was whether or not we were going to continue watching what was going on.

"From the looks of things, it seems like your teacher wants to have a private chat with Teran. Until we get some sort of wake-up call, all im doing is waiting. You on the other hand can do whatever." Calypso told Riki.

What Calypso did not know was that the barrier was designed by Itazuki to eliminate anyone who tried to intervene. If Riki did try to make it a three-way, all that would happen is death.

"I think your pea shooter did more than just nicked the surface." Calypso told Alex before darkness began to seep out of it like jelly in a pastry.

Only jelly did not attack whoever was in range when it poured out. Calypso's blade began to emanate electricity as he spun his blade at a high velocity unseen by the normal eye, causing any darkness that was heading towards him to deflect with ease. The only problem was that this attack was too easy to avoid.

Calypso's blade stopped spinning as he saw Teran arise from the barrier. Seeing Teran and not Itazuki come out of the barried got Calypso half worried. Of course he did a good job on not letting people show that he was worried.

"Did you two talk everything out or do you not kiss and tell?" Calypso asked Teran.

As usual, Teran ignored the joke and was a bit upset that everyone was waiting for one of them to come out. It looked like they would have attacked already, but even if they did, they would have been killed.

"Well what we were doing is playing rock paper scissors to see who gets next after Itazuki beats your sorry carcass..you know, for entertainment. The teacher's pet lost so it's between me and this guy right here; it's best out of three by the way."

What happened next was a result of Riki's loud mouth. Teran launched dozens of small blades towards the frontal area of Riki, who was close enough to be blank range. If what Alex said was true, Riki would have enough energy to dodge or block this attack.

"So far i'm not seeing anything impressive Teran; you dissapoint me. In fact, seeing your attacks makes me wonder what are you good for besides becoming an ornament for my blade?" Calypso asked Teran.

"I am not good at much, but I am good at killing, so lets get this over with Alright!" Teran replied as he conjured up a claw that was not only taller than calypso, but much wider than the platinum haired warrior.

"I'll play with you for a while." Calypso told Teran as the platinum haired warrior smirked and stood, waiting for the falst god. The platinum haierd warrior planned to create a claw in an instant from his right hand that was the same size and height of Teran's only it was made of lightning. Of course he could have always copied down the dark claw attack and fuse it with lightning. That would have been too much of a gift for everyone though.

With complete control of the element of lightning, Calypso would have enough power to engage with a elemental power struggle with the false god. Calypso picked up speed to where it matched Teran's and was going to strike at the same time Teran was going to strike. What would have happened would have been a beautiful display of power.

Of course, Alex had to ruin the fun when he decided to think with his hammer and gave Teran a hard knock towards his side. With the size of the hammer it would have sent anyone flying, but most likely Teran would stumble a few feet, if any at all.

"Trying to save my life when it didn't need saving, or did you just want to be closer to me? Wait wrong person let me try again. Trying to save my life when it didn't need saving or is this a way of saying that we're friends?" (6)

Tysulir, the bored thief was hiking around the area now to seek a new person he could rip off today. However, he was not even sure anyone would be out this far. However his doubt was soon erased when he thought he heard a large amount of movement a far distance away. "A fight?" He asked with a raised eyebrow, wondering who would be fighting all the way out here so loudly, then again it seemed like more than two people were all the way over there. He was unsure of what was going on but decided that maybe kidnapping one of the people out here would prove interesting if one of their comrades had some sweet gold ready to pay for their friend hostage.

Taking off in the direction of the sounds of battle, Ty decided to soon try out his newest water magic and see if he could make things much more interesting in his possible kidnapping attempts. The sounds grew louder and the thief was almost within range of the fighting as he stopped momentarily and listened and heard a sound he did not think he would be hearing any time soon. "Teran... Nabbing him is any good since that treasure of his is useless to me. So I guess that leaves me the rest of these people to rob." Tysulir said to himself as he randomly changed his idea of kidnapping into just pilfering all he could from these currently engaged people. He silently moved in closer to get a better look at his possible targets. he observed them and tried to figure out if any of them had anything worth ripping off and then either keeping or pawning.

"Come to watch the show?"Riki spoke to the guy who was kneeling in the area he had knocked so trees from. Riki started twirling his sword watching the beautiful display of power that the two were using. He decided to run his mouth again. "What a beautiful piece of art, love the color...wait no too much black, Teran turn it down just a tad."
