Chapter 2
The destroyer of the destined
-Rei's Cabin
All Ryu could hear was the sound of rain clashing opon a roof. His wounds were treated, yet the ones in his soul could never be until he found the one who did this. His body felt like a hundered swords passed thru him. He was also tossing and turning in a his bed. More images were in his mind, but not ones of Nina.....
Oh Ryu......hehehehe....
Ryu woke up in his mind. It looked similar to the world Teepo showed him when he was under Myria's control. Under one of the lights a man could be seen.
One with long, silver hair that looked like a white waterfall. Full clad in black armor, a large shield that look like a menacing, horned daemon. A huge, black broadsword was on his back.
The man approached Ryu. Ryu slowly got out his blade, the Dragon Sword. The pearl-white blade shined in radince.
"Hmph. Don't think you can beat me brood." The man said, unsheathing his broadsword, purple bolts of lighting swirled around it
"Who are you?"
The man simply sneered and pointed his sword at Ryu.
"WHO ARE YOU?!" Ryu could take no more. His girlfriend died, he nearly joined her had it not been for Momo, now this foe has the nerve to make him the new guy at Purgatory. He leapt up at the man. His sword ready to impale.
"I am Karnak. Son of Myria, destroyer of the Destined Heroes. I am beyond the western checkpoint. Come if you dare." Then he dissapeared, and all went black.
Meanwhile, downstairs......
Rei & the others were silent. Teepo decided to break it. "How did she die? What happened Momo?"
Momo sighed, then started. "I have no idea. The best guards in Wyndia were guarding her door. There were no screams, no nothing. All I know Is that she was stabbed all over her body. It was odd, only I could hear her voice. It was horrendous."
"Well, we should help Ryu. No chance in hell he can fight this guy alone. After all, he did get into the castle unnoticed. Did you see what the guy looked like?" Rei was curious. How could this guy get into the castle, kill Nina, and get out unnoticed? He pushed the thought away for a moment......
Teepo spoke up yet again, "Maybe this guy is an avenger?"
"Hm?" Momo looked at Teepo, her ears twiching constantly, as if searching for something. She then heard a sword unsheathe itself, so silent that only she could hear it. "DAMN! TEEPO DUCK!!!"
Teepo did as he was told as a long sword was flung into the room, imbedding itself into the wall, inches from Rei's head.
"This day gets weirder and weirder." Rei said with some relief that he wasn't impaled. He noticed a note tied onto the hilt. "Two notes in one day?" It read....
Rei,
Surprised I know your name? Don't be. You, lavender boy, and the rabbit are my next victims. I think Ryu beat himself up enough, don't you think? I killed Nina, as her soul is merely a part of my ritual. You have five minutes to live cat man, I suggest you use them to get Ryu and get out.
Karnak, destroyer of the destined
"Son of a bitch." Rei looked over the note again. "Teepo."
"I know." Teepo went upstairs to retrive Ryu. Being Rei's partner for so long, Teepo could amost read his mind.
"Momo."
"What Rei?"Momo's ears were still twiching.
"Point your launcher at the window."
Momo took aim at the window.
"Fire it."
"What?"
"Just do it. We need to buy some time."
Momo fired the launcher at the window. A faint scream could be heard in the explosion.
"Good. My turn." Rei cast the spell of slow on the person. "Let's run!" They both ran upstairs. Teepo was awaiting them, Ryu was slung over his shoulder, "This is an omen Rei." Teepo pointed to the sky. "The clouds are moving faster and are getting darker."
"I have no idea what the hell you just said, but I think you're right." Rei looked up to the sky. It started pouring and great bolts of lighting lit up the sky.
"YOU WON'T ESCAPE WOREN!!!!!" Karnan yelled. "RYU KNOWS WHO I AM AS YOU WILL TOO! I AM KARNAK, SON OF MYRIA AND DESTROYER OF THE DESTINED!!!"
Everyone was silent.....
"M-Myria?" Teepo said. "Did he say Myria?!"
"Oh, shit." Rei thought for a minute. "Make a death run for Mt. Zublo guys!"
"Why?" Momo said, launcher pointed at the stair case.
"I remember Ryu talking about a guardian there. It's not Garr, but it might help us!"
"Alright Rei." Teepo was headed for the window, "I have an idea."
"Alright. What?"
"I'll turn into a dragon, then we can fly to Mt. Zublo."
"Got it."
"Throw me out the window Rei."
"What?" Rei was strongly against this.
"Fine." Teepo jumped out the window and turned into his Dragon Lord form.
"HOP ON GUYS!" Teepo said, his red wing making a bridge to the window.
Rei and Momo dragged Ryu onto Teepo. They soared towards Mt. Zublo as quick as Teepo could fly.
"They won the battle. Yet they have not won the war mother." Karnak then dissapeared in a gold flame.
Meanwhile.....
Rei and the others quickly sped off in the direction of Mt. Zublo. Rei was in deep thought at this point.
A ritual?
