Chapter 11: Raikov V3
Ryuu looked around the forest as he walked along, the sounds of birds chirping filled the air and the sun shone down through the canopy of trees. Ryuu thought this place was very peaceful, 'Why does the beauty of this place always get harassed by evil?' Ryuu thought. "This place is so peaceful, i can imagine why people want to destory it" Ryuu muttered. "Yeah, that was what me and your dad, along with everyone else tried to protect during the wars" DL Mark said. "You know, i didn't notice this but its actually good being out of the Palace and Warfang, now i know the reason why my dad tells me to protect our homes in case of evil" Wagner said.
"i think i know what you mean, when i was younger, my dad would take me to Zonith to fish, he always told me that he had to fight to keep the lands safe, since then i wanted to be like him" Ryuu said. "You must really look up to your father" Darla said. Ryuu put his hands behind his head, "Yeah well, ya know" Ryuu said simply. They soon passed the border into the Shadow-controlled area. Soon the forest ended and they saw a large stone-bowl-like structure, the water was pitch black and moving. "Uhh, last i checked, water didn't do that" Ryuu said when he saw part of the water jump out and shape itself like a wyvern and took off.
"never judge things by appearence" DL Mark said. "Like Darla?" Wagner asked, before getting a slap by Darla. "Ow!" he said, rubbing the spot were Darla slapped him. Ryuu laughed at his friend's comment before getting hit in the back of the head by Darla. "Ow! What was that for?!" Ryuu asked Darla. "For being an idiot" Darla said simply. Ryuu placed his hand on the mark on his cheek and rubbed it. "she told you" DL Mark chuckled. "Don't make me slap you too" Darla warned. "Lady, you really don't want to piss me off" DL Mark wanred. "Hey focus here, we have a ground to get, you can kill each other afterwards" Ryuu said.
Darla lowered her hand and they all went to the bowel-like structure. They soon found a small village with a waterwheel and church near the bowl-like structure. "Reminds me of Zonith a little, but i'm guessing the people are taken to the mountain" Ryuu said. "Yeah, and we gotta free them, but i think we should head inside the Pit first" DL Mark said. 'how do you know thats the pit?" Wagner asked. DL Mark pointed to a billboard that said "THE PIT" in large black letters. "Oh" he said. "Seems like this place was used to stage battles and fights, except it was changed to a waterway and used for gardens" DL mark said as he read the print below the title. "And now Raikov is using it for his sick plans" Darla said.
"Exactly, and i think he sent us the welcoming party" DL Mark said and pulled out his blade as three shadowy figures appeared. The small fogs took the form of men, all weilding large, sharp, erraded swords; their skin however looked like it was made of muscle but the muscle was black instead of red and had white eyes with no pupils. "I was wondering when we'd actually fight these guys" Ryuu said pulling out his sword and taking his stance. The three shadow creatures charged at them, Ryuu dodged the sword attack and attacked the shadow creature, spilling black tar-like substance that looked like the creature's blood, onto the ground.
The scar from the attack was instantly healed but the shadow minion was still panting from the loss of energy. ryuu pulled out Dawn & Dusk and fired it at the creature, blood spewed onto the ground and soon the creature disappeared in black vapor. Darla used her acrobatic attacks along with her powers and somehow the shadow creature she was fighting was greatly weakened by the combos until it hit the side of a building and disappeared. Wagner shot a bunchof fire blasts while DL mark sliced it, soon it too was gone like its allies. "What the heck where those things?" Wagner asked. "Those where shadow beasts, corrupted souls of people who were in the Shadowlands, they're only shells of their former selves" DL mark said.
"Ouch, feel sorry for them" Ryuu said. "Come on, we need to get to the ground before more of those things get here" Darla said as a loud screech could be heard. "Lead the way princess" Ryuu sad. Darla arched an eyebrow, "what, doesn't see look like a princess?" ryuu asked them. "i agree, the clothes kinda remind me of one" Wagner said. "Let's just get to the ground" Darla said, annoyed. "Fine" Ryuu said as they went to the Pit. They soon reached the entrance and found it was opened. "This seems to easy, lets try a different approach" Ryuu said. They soon noticed some trenches in the wall that someone could use to travel by the side of the wall.
"Seems like a stretch, Ryuu, you go first" Wagner said, pushing him forward. Ryuu grumbled and took some steps back, he then ran toward the wall and started running along the side to the trench, he grabbed the edge of the trench and hung by it. "Easy! come on guys!" ryuu called. Wagner and DL Mark stepped back, "'We'll take the entrance, Darla, you can join him if you want" DL Mark said. Darla sighed and ran to the edge, she jumped and used her powers to easily get to Ryuu and placed her arms around his neck. "Gak! not so tight" Ryuu's voice strained. "Sorry" Darla said as she lossened her hold on ryuu's neck.
Ryuu climbed the trench and found another trench above them, Ryuu thusted himself back and launched himself upward, he grabbed the trench and soon noticed some vines near them. Ryuu tilted to the left and let go of the trench, the two passed the vines but Ryuu grabbed them and held them firmly in his hands. He began climbing the vines and found another trench above him, he launched upward and grabbed it, then tilted right and ran along the wall and onto a platform in front of them.
Darla let go of his neck and looked beyond the platform, she saw the fertile ground and DL Mark and Wagner already waiting for them. Ryuu turned to his dragon form as Darla climbed onto his back and glided towards them. "There you are, looks like Raikov ain't here to stop us now" Wagner said proudly. Just tthen a black smoke screen appeared in front of them. "Spoke to soon" ryuu muttered as Raikov came out of the smoke screen, only he looked way different than last time. His entire body was made of lightning and his chest was made of metal, even his hair was lightning and he had black eyes. The kunai knife he was holding had lightning extending from the point of the knife, like a lightsaber. "Whoa" Ryuu said in surprise.
"So this was the power i sensed before" DL mark muttered. "You know...i haven't used this form in years...you should be honored to fight me in this form" Raikov said, his voice sounded metallic with a mix of demonic and animalistic voices mixed in. "i heard a Fallen One has different forms they take, each form gets more powerful depending on the person...i never thought it was true" DL mark said in disbelief. "Now, i'll show you my third stage: Lightning Knight!" Raikov yelled and soon disappeared, a bun ch of lightning appeared and started zooming around the place, the bolts caused parts of the Pit to be destroyied before Raikov appeared in front of therm and charged at them.
