Dance of Gold: Slogra & Gaibon
Alucard entered a large stone room with designs of five pointed stars all over the room, when all of a sudden, he heard a rumbling behind him, he turned around to see large stone doors closing off the entrance in which he came, and he started realizing what it was... Alucard was begining to turn around, when he was knocked to the floor by a small but powerful series of fireballs. As he clutched his burn, he looked up to see the demons Slogra, a green spear- wielding birdlike demon, and Gaibon, the blue fire-breathing demon. He had battled them before, killing them with ease. But Death having robbed him of his weapons nearly rendered him powerless. Luckily, he had collected a short sword, a leather shieled, and a pack of throwing knives, but nothing more. Alucrd was apauled a the primitive makings of them, but it was all he had. Then he noticed that over him Slogra & Gaibon were in there usual formation Gaibon was flying upward, carrying Slogra in his feet. Slogra, while being carried was holing his spear blade down, trying to target the burned dhampire. His timing in his escape had to be perfect. If he rolled away to soon, the demons would catch up to him once he got tired, and Gaibon would drop Slogra on top of him, impaling him, crushing him or worse. If he moved to slowly, he would be crushed right where he was. So he let Slogra target him,, and just as soon as Gaibon dropped Slogra, he rolled out of the way to avoid the attack. That moment, he noticed that Gaibon was prepared to spit another stream of fireballs rushing towards him. so he, almost by instinct, his weak leather shield, his only defense. He stood up, hoping that he wouldn't need that shield again after it was burned to ashes, and strafed towards Slogra while the blade of it's spear was still stuck in the ground, block Gaibon's series of fireballs. After reaching the birdlike demon, he pulled out two throwing knives. The first one, he threw at Gaibon's wing, which easily punched a large hole in it. With the second one, he nailed Slogra's right foot to the hard marble-like (the demon castle uses no known material in it's walls, as it is a creature of chaos. It merely uses pure evil in the form of stone-like walls) floor. Then, the wounded Gaibon flew over and desperately tried to lift Slogra off, the ground, until it ripped Slogra right off it's own foot (which was still nailed to the ground). While the deoms were still within reach, Alucard jumped up and sliced Slogra's claws cleanly off with his sword. The demon's claws, along with the spear that they were holdind, clanged to the ground, as everything that goes up, must come down. He grabbed the spear, and plunged it into Slogra's chest. The demon screammed in agony as it burst into a mix of blue & green flames. All that was left was Gaibon. He lunged at Gaibon with Slogra's spear, but Gaibon dodged quickly enough only to be stabbed in the shoulder. Gaibon lokked down at Alucard with fury and shot a cone of searing flames at him him. From that point forth, the demn and the dhampire continued their dance of death, Alucard slicing and stabbing at Gaibon, and Gaibon, flying around and spitting flames. Then, a few minutes later, he noticed something he never saw in his past battles with Slogra & Gaibon. Every time he he wound Gaibon, he became more and more purplish, then more magenta... Alucard finally jumped and slased Gaibon's left wing off. Gaibon fell to the ground, seemingly in defeat, and burst into flames. Then, moments later, the demon shot out of the inferno, it's scales blood red, and all of it's wound completely healed, including the lost wing. It dashed toward Alucard and knocked him off his feet. He got up and tried to jump, but was stopped by an unusually large fireball. Although bruised, sraped, and burned, Alucard stood up without hesitation, and unseathed his sword. He charged toward the demon with all of his remaining power, and slashed at the demon ruthlessly, cutting open areas in it's arms and legs, when finally Alucard sliced open the demon's stomach area. But instead of blood, a ray of total blackness launced it self of of the gash. Alucard, prepared to finish the job, grabbed Slogra's spear off the ground, and threw it strait into Gaibon's neck. It screeched in pain and exploded in a pitch back fire. When the flames died away, a bottle with a stange liqiud in it materialized in the air. Not ready to trust, let alone drink, any mysterious liquid cooming from his father's castle, he decided to test it, he cut a small slit in he wrist, letting a single drop of blood fall to the floor, and opened the bottle and let a single drop of the liquid fall to the floor. The strange liquid darted towards the blood until they touched, and the blood started glowing. A few seconds later, the drop of blood shot back into Alucard's wrist, sealing the slit. Every wound on his arm instantly healed, and a great power surge through his fingers, hand, wrist, and forearm. "Elixer," he said to himself, and gulped down the liquid in the bottle. After that, all of the dhampires wounds healed, and he felt even more powerful than before he fought the demons. Alucard dropped the spear, not willing to use any weapons of demonic origin in his quest unless absolutly necessary, and started back on the road to fight and destroy his father, Lord Dracula.
