Chapter 2: Darkness stirs

Tira had finally woken up from her hard pounding, Siegfried had gave her. She groaned and walked towards the other room where she saw Sophitia on the floor badly wounded.

"Get up! Nightmare will be displeased with us!" Tira said stomping the ground with her foot to wake up Sophitia.

Sophitia groaned and got up slowly. She grabbed her head and didn't know what was going on.

"What, were you saying?" Sophitia said, as she struggled with the light sword's power.

"Guuh, its like talking to a baby. He must of had fun with you." Tira said looking annoyed.

"Watch that temper of yours." Sophitia said coldly.

Tira glared at her. "You're not the boss of me!"

Astaroth, the big golem tyrant walked by the two girls. "Report to his chamber now!" He ordered in his big voice that made Tira cringed.

Astaroth carried Siegfried's body out the door while he continued with his task Nightmare had ordered to dispose of the body.

"Aww, I wanted to cut him up so badly!" Tira whined as she stared at Siegfried's body dangling from Astaroth's grip.

Astaroth just ignored her little rant and grabbed her by her waist and carried her to Nightmare's chamber while he tossed Siegfried's body out of the main gate, where the gargoyles can enjoy a meal.

As the huge door closed behind them, Tira was continuing to rant and whine for Astaroth to put her down.

Siegfried's body was lying on the ground. Siegfried's fingers twitched a tiny bit.

A huge jolt of lighting from soul calibur blasted his body to get his mind awaken and weakened soul.

Kilik saw the lighting flash of soul calibur's light and ran towards it, Maxi followed behind him, leaving Xianghua at the near by village where she shopped for more supplies.

OSTRHEINSBURG CHAPLE ENTERANCE:

Maxi was catching his breath while Kilik stopped and saw Siegfried's body lying on the ground, while the wind blow his body with dust.

Kilik ran towards Siegfried's body and checked his neck for any pulse. There was, but it was very faintly.

"we better rush him to the nearest hospital, and quick." Kilik said, looking at Maxi.

Maxi sighed and helped out his friend to pick up the unconscious body. "Man…why must these warriors wear such heavy armor?" Maxi asked.

Kilik frowned. Maxi sighed and said he was sorry for making that comment.

-0-

Siegfried opened up his eyes slowly and saw that he was in a tent lying on a bed, with a bandage on his arm and head.

"You were kind of heavy with all that armor on." Maxi said.

Siegfried just stared at Maxi.

"Your lucky to be alive, Siegfried…" Kilik said. "Soul Edge didn't get you, be thankful your recovering."

Siegfried groaned and griped the blanket tight.

"At what cause…Nightmare has probably taken her soul…or-"

"Who's she?" Kilik asked.

"Marisa, she was a female warrior in azure armor, I helped her out of soul edge's grasp...but I don't know if she made it out okay." Siegfried explained.

"She has to be pretty lucky to survive Nightmare's attacks, I'm sure she's okay, as long as she can defend herself."

Siegfried shook his head. "Sophitia had wounded her badly…and I want to put an end to this nightmare and see if she's alright."

Maxi laughed a little, that caught Siegfried's attendtion by surprise.

"Well, seems to like to me Siegfried, you like her." Maxi said with a grin.

Siegfried blinked in confusion and growled. "What makes you say that!" He said, keeping a firm face.

"Well…You seem to be so worried about her safety and hoping that Nightmare didn't kill her…soooo! You DO like her!"

Siegfried had a sign of blush appear across his face and got angry and stormed out of the tent.

Kilik looked at maxi and shook his head, not believing on what he just did to make Siegfried angry.

Kilik walked after Siegfried, leaving maxi in the tent.

"Siegfried!" Kilik called running to catch up with him.

Siegfried stopped in place and remained silent.

"Look, on what Maxi said back there…he was just messing with you-"

"He might be right…" Siegfried said, coldly and unsure.

"But if your planning to go back to save her…your going to get hurt even more, you need time to recover." Kilik told Siegfried.

Siegfried didn't even notice his condition, until he saw his own reflection, showing his bandaged up arm and forehead in the lake, he lowered his head.

"Now come back to the tent, Xianghua has food for us." Kilik said.

Siegfried looked up at him and then stared to the sky as he saw birds flying towards the dark cloudy skies.

Night had struck and a loud rumble of thunder had made its way towards the village where Siegfried and the others camped.

Siegfried stood by the front door of the tent, hearing the running rain drops hit the tent.

Xianghua stretched with a yawn. "Ohh…its boring staying here in this tent, when there nothing to do."

"Well, if you hate it, then why not you go outside?" Maxi said.

Xianghua sticked her tongue out at maxi and got up to go outside to feel the rain run off her skin.

Kilik drank his tea and saw that Siegfried had something on his mind.

Siegfried stared at rain drops falling down making a muddy puddle filled with mud and rocks. He stepped outside and could hear the thunder's loud bang. Thinking of his friend who he had met, could he have feelings for her? That left his mind shrouded in darkness.

He then walked towards Xianghua, to ask her something, but something caught his attendtion before he could tell Xianghua.

"Xianghua…go back to the tent and get Kilik and Maxi…" Siegfried said, while he pulled out soul calibur.

She nodded and ran towards the tent.

Siegfried waited in the rain holding his sword.

Maxi wonder what was Siegfried thinking, until he heard someone coming.

Siegfried could hear the wailing souls cry out while a huge army had appeared.

The army had ran past Siegfried and the others. "What the heck was that…" Maxi asked.

"They might have encounter Nightmare!" Kilik said.

Siegfried ran towards the direction where all the armies had went.

-0-

Each army soldier seemed to be falling down by each slash.

Nightmare was enjoying the fresh kills he had for his sword to feast on.

Siegfried, Kilik, Xianghua, and Maxi saw from the hill top, the azure knight striking down each swordsman.

"They need our, help!" Xianghua said pulling out her sword. Kilik and Maxi had joined in.

Nightmare grabbed a man off his horse and punched the soldier down hard with his deformed hand breaking the man's ribcage and slashing the Horse's neck.

Siegfried ran towards Nightmare but was blocked off by Astaroth's giant axe.

He glared at Astaroth and clashed his weapon with the golem.

-0-

Kilik slammed his staff into Nightmare's shoulder, and Nightmare growled in anger and threw Kilik to the side.

Kilik landed hard on his stomach and quickly got up to block nightmare's stab attack.

Xianghua and Maxi both assisted Kilik in attacking Nightmare.

Then Xianghua got kicked aside by, Tira. Tira let out a laugh and jumped towards Xianghua.

Maxi and Kilik both dodged nightmare's low swing and both stabbed Nightmare in the chest.

But their weapons seemed to go through him. Nightmare laughed a sinter laugh once more and blasted the two warriors aside with soul edge's blazing energy.

The last of the surviving army soldiers, didn't make it back to safety from the knight's wrath, because Sophitia was killing the rest of the soldiers off.

Siegfried knocked Astaroth back and ran towards Nightmare, but Astaroth grabbed him by the leg and dragged him to the ground.

Siegfried was dangling from Astaroth's grip and slashed Astaroth's legs to break himself free.

Astaroth released Siegfried and fell to the ground yelling in pain.

Siegfried turned around and ran towards nightmare. Nightmare was charging up his power so he could finish off Kilik and Maxi.

Nightmare then howled in pain and saw that Siegfried was back and he growled.

"I thought…I destroyed you! But looks like I missed your soul, Siegfried." Nightmare said with a snarl.

Siegfried leered. "Where is she, Nightmare?"

Nightmare just swung his sword breaking a dead soldier's body in two, as Siegfried moved out of the way.

Nightmare didn't respond, but kept on slashing at Siegfried.

Siegfried braced himself from soul edge's hard impact. And struggled. But he kept on asking the azure knight.

Nightmare then sneered and punched Siegfried in the stomach. Siegfried gasped and yelled in pain.

Nightmare kicked Siegfried down and got his sword ready for another stab, but then it was blocked off by a scythe.

Nightmare looked surprised and got held down by dead soldier's souls.

Tira and Sophitia were in the same state as well.

Siegfried looked up and saw that Zasalamel had appeared.

"There's no time for questions…" Zasalamel said and used his dark magic to warp Siegfried and the others to safety.

Nightmare got up and roared in fury, seeing that his prey had escaped, from the man with the scythe who he remembered bringing Nightmare to life. But he soon clam down, once he felt, that he can become stronger. He called forth his servants and bodyguard and they vanished from the area where all the dead armies lay.

Siegfried was frustrated to see that Nightmare didn't answer his question, he grabbed his face to take off the bandage off of his forehead.

"Thanks for saving us." Kilik said with a smile.

"Consider this as a helping of my gratitude…but I only want the sword of light to stop the evil, sword…but next time we meet, will be enemies." Zasalamel told Kilik.

"So, after all these years, you need both swords?" Maxi asked.

"Yes…I need them both. I need them for my own reasons, which I shall not tell."

Siegfried stared at Zasalamel with wonder, knowing that he could turn his back against everyone.

He walked towards the doorway and waited for someone to stop him from going.

"Siegfried, Nightmare is going to destroy you, we need a plan to think through first before going to his lair." Kilik said.

"Since when do you guys worry about me or any of the others who have been slain by Nightmare's blade?" Siegfried said turning around to face everyone.

Kilik never thought of that.

"Man…your really streamed up aren't you?" Maxi said, scratching his head.

Siegfried knew that maxi was right and laid his head against his arm while he leaned against the door, sighing.

OSTRHEINSBURG CHAPLE TOWER:

Marisa sat inside a dungeon, behind bars, very little light was lighting up the cold damp room. She looked like she hadn't eaten in awhile, her hands were cuffed as were her legs.

She then heard someone coming her way, she looked only to see someone being dragged by the shirt collar and tossed into the cell room across from Marisa's cell.

Astaroth walked towards the door and closed it. Marisa looked to the other cell, where a boy with a green bandana around his head. It was Yun-Seong.

Yun-Seong groaned and rubbed his ankles from the chains.

"What are you in here for?" Marisa asked, Yun-Seong.

Yun-Seong looked across from his cell and asked Marisa the same question.

"I was going to grab Soul Edge, but I was caught." Yun-Seong said. "What about you?"

"I really have no idea why I'm down here…I haven't done anything wrong." Marisa said.

"Well, that's no fun." Yun-Seong said. "You shouldn't be down here."

Marisa thought that he was right. "Marisa is my name." She said.

"Yun-Seong." he said in reply.

Then the door opened up, and they could hear Nightmare's footsteps and deep growls, while he walked towards the cells.

Marisa looked up and saw nightmare close to her cell and Yun-Seong's.

"I hope you two enjoy your stay." He said looking at his two prisoners with a demonic chuckle.

He then leaned in towards Marisa's cell and touched her face with his normal hand. Marisa had a chill go down her spine as she heard Nightmare's breath draw close while she closed her eyes tight with fear, and feeling his sharp fingers tips stroke her whole lower jaw. She trembled with fear. Nightmare continued to stroke her face to hear her fear towards him. He then took her long hair and somehow absorbed her scent and let in sink into his soul before continuing.

She then opened her eyes slowly and looked straight at his face and he held her hair in his grasp feeling it, before releasing it and turned around to leave.

He glared at Yun-Seong and left the room. The door across the room made a huge clang while it closed shut.

Yun-Seong looked towards Marisa with a confusing look.

"What was that all about?" He asked.

Marisa shook her head slowly. "I don't know…"

Yun-Seong thought it was awkward and weird to see that Nightmare was sort of flirting with her, in a strange way.

"I hope we can get out of here." Marisa said, lowering her head, still feeling Nightmare's grip around her lower jaw.

"Yeah…me too." Yun-Seong said.

-End of chapter 2-
