Martin and Brad's teams spotted each other. "Oh, the sly fox, Martin." Brad took out his Katanas and rushed at Martin. Martin chanted a spell and his wind glowed, "Wind cyclone." Brad was then thrown into a tree. "Heh, how do I forget about your ring?" Brad stood up and smirked, ready to fight. He rushed and before Martin could counter Brad threw a fireball into Martin. "Don't worry master, I'll help you!" Ryota grabbed his Charkram but before he could hit Brad, something hit him.
"Don't even try to harm Brad, you lowlife scum!" Leo's claws were prepared to fight, Ryota of course wasn't impressed. Ryota threw his charkrams, now infused with electricity, at Leo who slashed the away. "Geez Leo, I thought you were a fun guy, why'd you have to go and turn into a stubborn old man." Ryota was taunting Leo, and it was working way too well. "OLD MAN!? I'LL SHOW YOU WHO'S AN OLD MAN!" Leo rushed at Ryota only to get hit with an electrical attack and flung into the woods far away from the battle. "Oh Leo, if you'll allow Rage to control you, you'll lose and become just like Plague." Ryota rushed back into battle, hoping to help somewhere.
Meanwhile, a girl and man are walking in the woods. "Abigail, look there's a person on the ground." The two people walked over. "Aye, you're right Yoshiro, tis Leo of Brad's gang dontchaknow." Abigail was Irish with blue eyes, her dad was British and her mom was Irish. Yoshiro who was with her was Japanese; he had black hair and amber eyes. They both worked for Plague and were doing their midnight rounds. Abigail poked Leo with her spear, using the flat end as to not hurt him, he didn't stir. "Heh, hey he's still unconscious, maybe this will work for Master Plague." Yoshiro pulled out a mask and Abigail took it away. "If we do this, Plague could get mad, geez you're stupid." Yoshiro took the mask back and put it on Leo's face, it sunk in. "Yes, it worked Abigail. When rage grows, this warrior will change, Leo of light will turn into the murderous Fang of dark. Serve Lord Plague with your light and at midnight, turn into Fang and join us, at sunrise, you will return to Leo and wake up in your bed with no memory of what happened." Abigail slowly backed away; Yoshiro was best left alone when he did his cursing. She looked up at the sky, "Let's go Yoshiro, the sun's starting to rise." She and Yoshiro headed back to Plague's castle. 5:30 AM, the sun was rising and signaling the end of a fight.
"The sun is beginning to rise Milord!" Joshua hit some of Martin's archers away. The two teams retreated from their clashes in battles and stood 3 meters apart from each other. "Alright guys, this was very good timing, next time Martin, we will end this." Brad's team rushed off toward their camp. Martin gathered his team and headed back as well. "How long is this going to last, Brad?" Anabel was huffing and tired from the battle. "Not sure, where did Leo run off to?" Brad looked around and found him on the ground. "Leo, wake up, hey Leo…WAKE UP SLEEPING BEAUTY!" Brad kicked Leo awake with a jolt. "Ah Milord, I am sorry, I tried to protect you from Ryota and let my anger get the better of me." Leo got on one knee in apology and Brad sighed. "Get up, it was a tie and neither group won, so we're heading back." Brad pulled Leo up and rejoined his group and got to camp.
"I am sorry sir; I did not know the sun would rise so soon." Seth was trying to apologize to Martin, who wouldn't listen. "Sorry doesn't kill Plague, Seth! Plague will keep attacking towns until we defeat him!" Martin walked away leaving Seth in the hall. "Well, seems like our master is mad, am I right?" Ryota walked over, he was sweating, and 1000 pushups did that to a person. "Yeah, but we've tied, beaten, and lost to Brad a lot of times before. Why is today any different?" Seth looked at Ryota, who just shrugged. "Let's go drink some Jack Daniels and forget about this k?" Ryota and Seth walked toward the camp's bar.
The moon rose high IN THE SKY AS THE FOG AND MIST APPEARED. Plague's castle appeared in the distance as a silhouette in the fog. Plague descended the stairs and smirked, tonight a new warrior arose.
