Ryo ran through the ally ways, His heavy armored
foot steps thundered down the narrow ways between he buildings.
"Guys?" Ryo yelled out "Where's they go?" He kept running,
the sound of soldiers closing in behind him.
* * *
"What is it?" sage's eyes darted back and forth, a lock of his hair
falling down in his eyes.
"I'm more worried about WHERE it is!!" Rowen turned about, his
bow gripped tightly in hand. Sages eyes caught sight of movement.
"THERE!!" Sage thrashed
his hand forward pointing at the creature fixed to the side of the building.
Rowen's eyes followed the trail made by the pointing finger, his right
hand reaching back, and arrow protruding up to his finger tips, he pulled
it forward in all one fluent motion, fletching it, drawing back and releasing
it in a blink of an eye. Speeding forward, the gold arrow flew true,
striking the now moving creature in the shoulder, the Massive beast, twice
the size of White Blaze, pulled a deafen roar followed by a low gurgling
growl. The lizard type eyes dazedly looked at the two, then to the archer,
it's snake like tongue slithering out, hissing and tasting the air.
Blood seeped out, the arrow remaining in the thick slick skin. The beast's
claws released it's grip from the side of the building, it's spine twisting,
flipping it like a cat, landing on it's feet, hind haunches taking up the
impact. Rowen's right foot slid back, his arm reaching back ready
to draw an arrow, bow held in front, index finger straighten toward the
run of the weapon. Sage's feet remained planted where they were,
no-datchi gripped with both hands, point to the ground, the sharp edge
of the blade to the sky.
"Get Ready" Rowen eyed the beast,
the creature building up strength to attack, eyes fixed on Sage, hind quarters
gathered together, ready to throw itself forward, like a cat getting ready
to pounce, A simple Silent nod came from sage, weight on the balls of his
feet ready to move...

Kento spun around on his
heel as a Dynasty Soldier came running by him. Cye was chuckling
hearing Kento's comments, while fighting his own tin cans. Kento,
parading around like a bull fighter, taunting the soldiers.
"Uh Kento...I know your having fun and all, but we need to go find
Ryo."
" Ah....Okay.." Kento sighted, quickly putting down the soldier he
was taunting and started on the rest.
"I hope Rowen and Sage are okay with that thing.." Cye shuddered
remembering the creature. The four of them had regrouped in the square,
Ryo the only one missing. Rowen had made a clear plan that if they
were separated they would meet in the town square. They were about
to go look for Ryo when a creature appeared from a gateway. Rowen
and Sage staying in the square to fight it, while Kento and Cye ran off
to find Ryo.
"I'm sure they're both fine, Cye." his friend tried to convince him.
The two glanced around, empty armor lying around at their feet.
"Let's get a move on..." the clad of their armor faded as they went
to go find Ryo.
* * *
Ryo stopped at the end of the street.
"Which way?!?" He looked confused down both ways of the street, then
to the street sign.
"6th street" he ran down a block "5th street" he remembered
Cye telling him the lower the street numbers are, the closer you are to
the square. His armor cladding as he ran down toward 1st street,
someone else's armor cladding followed not all that far behind, probably
Dynasty Soldiers.
* * *
The stare down seemed to last forever,
silence had filled the square, breathing from the beast and the two Ronins
could be hear clearly. The heart beast, pulsing quickly in the vibrant
ears of the devil creature.
"Rowen!! SAGE!!" A voice called out to them. Rowen's head
looked about, his eyes leaving the enemy, turning about as if following
a fly.
"Ryo you made it!" he saw Ryo running toward them, Ryo's eyes
having already seen the creature, his mind already focused to fight.
"ROWEN! LOOK OUT!!"
But it was already to late, by
the time sage's warning pasted his lips the massive beast threw itself
forward toward Rowen, plowing into him, the force massive, pushing the
air from his lungs, his head lashed forward as his body was pushed back,
his blue helmet flying off, no longer protecting his head. Discharged
from his features every present of absolute fear. Rowen and the creatures
trip ended quickly, as Rowen's back met the cold stone of the historical
statue, place in the middle of the square. The creatures weight only
helping to add more of a crushing blow, to the already killer impact.
His neck couldn't take the pressure of the sudden stop, Rowen's unprotected
head lashed backwards, slamming into the corner stone rock. The pain
shot through his body, his skull feeling as if it had been crushed, his
eyes glazed and indulged in a prolonged and vacant stare.
Sage jetting forward, knowing
the only way he could help Rowen, was through the beast. Ryo froze,
seeing Rowen taken down like a mere rabbit, his mind swirled with emotion,
till Halo's battle cry brought him back to focus on what's on hand, he
darted forward as well. Sage already ahead of him, his no no-datchi
ready to strike, he neared, the beast preoccupied with it's catch pinned
underneath.
Throwing his left shoulder
forward the thrust his sword with his right, using the added swing in his
hips. Sage's no-datchi bit into the beast side, the sharp blade sliding
into it's flesh, it's deep red blood splattering out, dripping down the
sword. The beast let out a whine of pain, but refused to move, his
massive claws that were wrapped around Rowen released, thrashing out, back
handing Sage, swatting him away like a fly, his hands never leaving his
weapon, pulling it from the beast ripping the wound a bit more. Ryo
was closing in when Sage was thrown to his feet. Ryo stopped, kneeling
down to him
"Sage are you okay?"
Sage groaned as he got up to his feet, out of breath and aching.
"I'll live, but Rowen needs our help now!" he regained his bearing.
This time they would attack together, t hey both readied themselves, when
a deep thunders, demonic voice spoke from the creature.
"Foolish mortals...." his forked tongue hissed, devilishly. The
two blinked, completely taken by surprise that the animal just spoke.
"Let Rowen GO!!" Sage started forward, his fear for his friend present
in his voice and eyes. Ryo started forward as well, they rushed the
beast, hoping to at least move him away from Rowen, but luck was not with
them. The beast lowered his head, his capping jaw clamping
down on Rowen's right arm, picking him up like a dog with a chew toy, the
sound of his armor crushing, starting to break under the pressure of the
beast's jaws. Sage noticed his eyes were now closed, and feared the
worse, but no way was he about to let that monster take his friend.
"MONSTER!" Ryo yelled out as he swung at him, the creature, with Rowen
in his jaws, jumped up onto the statue, his muffles laughter changing from
high pitched to low pitched, like a true monster of hell. An Almost
to silent groan found it's way into their ears, they looked to Rowen, dangling
from the creatures mouth.
"Good, he's still alive" the creatures voice came muffled from
still having his prey's arm locked in his jaws.
