Chapter 25: Werewolf of the Fallen

Vice charged at the group after letting out another howl. The group seperated to avoid the charge. Jasmine panted, wishing she had a weapon with her or something to beat Vice with, when he smelled something on her, it felt like someone was breathing down her neck, and the scent was a mix of bad breath and rotting meat and blood. She didn't even turn half-way to see Vice with a hungry look on his face. Jasmine was paralyzed in fear as Vice sniffed her, "You smell...delicious" Vice smarled and pepared to feast on her. Jasmine screamed and braced herself for the end, but she didn't feel the teeth from Vice on her. She opened her eyes and saw Jared kick Vice away from her.

"You okay?" he asked. Jasmine only nodded, she was so surprised by his interventtion that she didn't say anything. "I suggest you find a place to hide, as this will get messy really soon" jared told her as he notched an arrow in his bow. jasmine nodded. "Thanks" she said. "Don't mention it" jared replied. jasmine quickly ran for cover as Vice got up. "aww, looks like you got a girlfriend...to bad i have to kill both of you!" Vice said and ran at Jared.

Reignor appeared between them and slahed his sword, leaving a large scar on Vice's chest. "Grrraaaaah! You son of a bitch!" Vice growled. Reignor only smirked and disappeared in a flash as DL Mark appeared and kicked Vice in the face. Vice was sent flying as Darla did a back flip and bicycle-kicked vice, using her powers to ampilfy her kicks, leaving a hole in the wall where she had kicked Vice. "Amazing powers...i never saw those before" Reignor said to Dalra, who looked away, blushing with embarressment. "grr...you might have been able to beta me here..." Vice said getting up "But i still have a constillation prize, Ryuu" Vice said.

DL Mark realized what happened to Ryuu, how could he have been so stupid? Why the heck didn't he see this before? "where is he?" DL mark asked. "You already know that answer...i'll be waiting at the Imperial tower in the city...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Vice laughed and disappeared. DL Mark yelled and ounched the ground, leaving a small crater where he punched it. "Damn it! How could i have fallen for that trick?" DL Mark asked. "Easy there, we'll get Ryuu. Let's reclaim the ground first" Reignor said calmly to him. DL mark sighed. "Alright, Darla you know what to do" he said. Darla nodded and went to the ground.

She rose in the air and in a few minutes the purification spread, the shadow warriors outside saw the light show and tried to run away, only to be destroyed after the purification went past them, causing them to distentegrate into dust. "good, another area reclaimed" reignor said. "Come on, we're heading to the Imperial City" DL mark said. "Shouldn't we-" Jasmine began. "If we wait any longer, Ryuu might either become one of them, or die, do you want that to happen?" DL mark asked harshly. Jasmine cringed a bit as Jared stood over her as she hugged him. "Smooth" Wagner muttered. "Sorry Jasmine, buit if i lost another relative again i'd-" DL mark paused. "Wait, another?" Darla asked.

DL Mark looked at Reignor, who shook his head, "A story for another time, come on, we have to get tot he city" Reignor said. They all agreed and left the throne room, DL Mark looked at Reignor, "si mi sorry(I am sorry)" DL mark said. "si vucot little isthasy, shar forget zahae svabol happened vur focus shafaer svabol ui yoscam shafaer jaka(I know little brother, but forget about what happened and focus on what is going on now)" Reignor replied. DL Mark nodded and followed them to the last place controled by Vice, and prayed to Ungh-Agor that Ryuu was still alive.
