DDX- Aha! But that may be true, Ssp47. I could make him stay in there. But
then what would happen, you never know. The next chapter though, I can warn
you, something VERY unexpected and I guess you could say tragic will
happen. Not this chapter though, next one.
Ch.34: Venture Through Evil's Lair
Dart sat down in a tree. It was still raining, but what did he care? His friend was alone in the Dark Realm. He knew what he should have been doing. He should have been going to find the seal. Friends came first in his book, after Rose staked her life for the world, he waited for his friend.
The rain dripped off of his blonde hair like it would on metal. He held out the Dark-Flame Dragoon Spirit in his hand. It glowed slightly, but then he put it back for the Spirit only reminded him of Dragoness' Violet Spirit. He realized Lavitz had made a huge mistake and Dart wasn't going to make another one. No more mess-ups could happen now. Their friend's life was on the line.
Lavitz and Bejong flew out of the somewhat balcony on the Black Tower. The two looked to the side, seeing all of the monsters, ground up, trying to knock it over. There was no chance that they couldn't stop them.
"We have to try" Lavitz guessed
Bejong needed no words, he flew down at the aerial enemies and slashed with his sword out, not even taking the time to look. Black blood hissed out of the open wounds and then stained the side of the tower.
Lavitz summoned up his magic instead of going for the psychical route.
"Cyclone WIND!"
In moments, the wind was summoned to his back and he flew towards the tower, just inches away from scratching the black stone. Many of the leftover aerial enemies were sucked into Lavitz's cyclone and killed later. Now all that was left were the ground monsters.
"Shit! The trick with the forest!" Lavitz remembered
"What are you talking about?" Bejong asked
Lavitz quickly explained to him the importance of not walking in the same spot for more than two minutes. Bejong then realized that they couldn't fight without their Dragoon Spirits and that they couldn't fight and remember when to walk.
"There has to be another way," Bejong thought
Dragoness ventured silently through the shadows of the Dark Realm. He knew Omega knew he was there and Omega did know he was there. Dragoness just wanted to do this swiftly. He didn't need any more stress then what was already put on his shoulders. No more problems.
The Dark Realm was silent. Unusual for such an evil place. He could imagine this place Dart talked about, Mayfil. It was probably very loud there. Demons had inherited that land. The place of Dart's home, Endiness. He wondered what it was like. Maybe he would go there someday, if he survived this.
A noise in the dark suddenly scared Dragoness. He withdrew his staff quickly and stayed alert. The sound that was heard was shifting of the clouds. Then, everything became silent. The world seemed to stay still. His staff still out, Dragoness continued to walk through the realm.
The last group of Dragoons walked through the abandoned Ormaga Prison. Bodies of guards and such lied everywhere. Their blood was still fresh, making the group stay alert. The snow hit the blood of the guards and the white turned to red. The sight was sickening. The sound was worse. All that was heard was the snow and slight wind. The clouds stayed as black and gray as ever, as long as Omega was alive. A rustle in the prison made the Dragoons take up arms. The monsters cover was blown.
Arrows were fired from every direction at the group. Kongol blocked with his axe and Shana dodged around. Meru backflipped onto a guard tower where it just so happened that one of the shooters was hiding out in. She slammed her hammer down at him. She noticed that the enemy she had just disposed of was not man nor beast but a shadow in tangible form. She took up post in this tower and launched some magic at any random place, as she did not know where the shooters were. "Freezing Ring!"
The magic was not effective because nothing happened. The arrows fired harder actually. Shana jumped to a building's walkway/balcony and monsters surrounded her out of nowhere. She slashed her blades around them and got hit a couple of times herself. Nothing a little healing potion couldn't fix.
Kongol was determined to find these shooters. He rammed the wall of a prison building and found some stairs. Kongol climbed them and realized he was going too slowly. He spread his wings and narrowly avoided the tight space. He got up to the balcony and saw an arrowsman or shadow and slashed his axe. The shadow was disposed for a second and then reappeared behind Kongol. The shadow drew a knife and attempted to stab the Giganto. Kongol quickly turned around and jumped back as he saw the metal. He then looked to the shadow and rammed him against the wall, knocking out his bow. He turned around again and positioned his axe toward the shadow. He ran right into the wall and killed the thing.
Jade kept on using her magic and grabbed a nearby sword. It was perfectly good katana blade. It fit perfectly into her hand and she decided to keep it. Since she had joined the group, she had had temporary weapons but now she found the right one. She slashed an oncoming monster and smiled.
"Fall back!" a hissy voice commanded
"It was probably one of the monsters. I didn't know they had a literacy rate," Shana thought aloud
Suddenly, a building burst open from the roof as if a huge creature was inside. The building was demolished with dust and rubble of rocks flying everywhere. The creature was a giant flaming spider. Its legs were made of stone, as was most of its legs and abdomen. The joints of the spider were flames that melted most of the rocks away. It had eight blue eyes that shimmered in the snowy sky. All eyes were averted to it as the spider gave an earsplitting roar.
The Black Tower was slowly moving. The foundation was being attacked and there was no way that anyone could do anything about it. The building slowly stopped being attacked. Someone must have been down there. Lavitz turned back to human form and left Bejong in the air, falling to the forest below.
Nimbulo, not in Dragoon form was slashing away at the attracted monsters. He took no mercy on the forms of evil. Lavitz watched the man's grace as he stepped with ease. The forest couldn't trick him. Lavitz suddenly realized that he had been standing for some time. He had to run up the stairs of the Black Tower or the forest would close him in forever. He wondered what was going on with Dart. He tried to put his guilt aside as he jumped into the Black Tower.
Lavitz ran up the stairs to the balcony. He stopped as he saw Bejong fighting another wave of enemies from the air. He fired Shadow Blasts in all directions.
"The kid has become a warrior.humph" Lavitz chuckled
Bejong let out a grunt as he fired the last Shadow Blast to diminish the enemy. Lavitz smiled from the tower. Bejong gave out a sigh and started to fall to the water. He was transformed out of Dragoon armor and into his regular clothing. Lavitz's eyes grew wide and he turned Dragoon as fast as he could. He heard a sickeningly loud and hard splash as Bejong hit the water. Lavitz flew down and grabbed Bejong's arm just as it was about to sink with him. Lavitz carried him back to the balcony and grabbed a healing fog out of his pocket. It had been in his pocket since he died. A tear rolled down Lavitz's cheek as he remembered the pain of the Dragon Buster piercing him.
Dart ran through the forest like a mad man. He ignored flying, as the magical energy his wings emitted was enough to get the whole Shadow Army on his back. He was out of Dragoon form and in his red armor, a claymore by his side. He needed to find that seal. The White Dagger suddenly stopped him. He looked down at the sheath and noticed the dagger was glowing.
"Must be close" he mumbled to himself
He changed his pace from a run to a walk. He could run right past it. Now the dagger glowed brighter than ever but no seal was in sight. He walked into a clearing in the woods and the dagger floated out of its sheath by itself. It positioned itself so that it was facing Dart and floating two feet away from him at eye level. A bright white light appeared from the ground as an oval shape. The dagger dropped itself gracefully onto the light and a mass of energy rose from the ground. He stepped back slowly to avoid being hit. The energy soon turned to marble and a doorway appeared in front of Dart. He stepped inside and climbed the stairs.
Fortunately, the tower had a roof and balcony so he was safe from the rain. Dart walked slowly over to the ledge and gazed at the White Forest.
"Such a pity that such a beautiful land shall go to waste" a voice behind him said
"So you took a form. We can finally fight for my mind" Dart said
Dart turned around to see himself as a shadow. A monster, one of the enemy.
"So much fun!" Shana joked "Star Slash!"
Shana's blades became a flaming blue color and she jumped onto the spider's back. This place was not guarded so she drove her blades into the open skin. Suddenly, a tail sprouted from the backside of the monster. It hit Shana with ease, knocking her off. She fell into some barrels where she was unprotected. The spider raised its tail and was about to strike when all of the sudden, Kongol stepped in. He turned his axe so the blade part was long and he blocked the tail. The spider was so strong that Kongol had planted his feet but they had been moved to the ground with a trail.
Meru jumped down form the tower and decided to help out. She jumped onto the spider's back without the spider noticing and she bashed the hell out of the weak spot. The spider fell on to the flaming joints and gave out a roar.
Kongol, still holding the tail, was trying his best not to give up. The spider saw the weakness and drove harder. Kongol tightened his grip on his axe.
Jade finished off her shadows that were near. She was by now completely on the other side of the prison. She wondered where her companions were. Th snow kept on falling and she remembered the prophecy. She held back tears as she couldn't help but think of destruction. She ran to the other side of the prison where they were. The sight she saw was enough for her. They needed help.
Jade picked up a bow and arrow and fired, aiming for the eyes. The arrow hit one of the spider's eyes with ease and the spider forgot about everything else. Kongol loosened as the tail flung back. Shana got up and looked at Jade, giving her a smile. The younger woman smiled back until the smile faded. Shana had been struck with the tail. Kongol had been off guard.
Shana flew back and hit a building while rocks flew with the impact. Jade rushed forward with her sword in hand. The spider gave a roar and saw Jade. The tail got ready to strike but Jade was ready.
A/N: Cue slow motion, and cool techno music
The tail struck the ground Jade was on but in seconds, Jade flipped into the air, the tail narrowly missing her head.
A/N: End music and slow motion
Dart stared at himself, a mirror image.just.evil. Dart turned Dragoon, as did the Shadow Dart.
"Let me ask you, if I win, will I lose the Magi power?" Dart asked calmly
"First of all, you won't win. Second, if you were to win then no. You were destined to be a Magi. You cannot change that fate" Shadow Dart explained
"I have changed fate before, not that I want to change this fate, of being a Magi but I warn you, I am capable of doing so" Dart warned
Shadow Dart took a battle position and then leaned on the edge of the balcony. He fell backwards purposefully. Drawing his sword, Dart flew down after him. The battle for his mind was to commence now.
Dragoness wandered. There was no hope of finding the dagger in time. He went along with Dart's plan though. Then, he realized.
"Omega! I cannot come to you so you will come to me! Get here now! I know you are hiding in the darkness! Reveal yourself you big bafoon!" Dragoness demanded
"Big? No, not anymore at least" Omega stated
The shadow of Omega emerged behind Dragoness. The shadow turned to a man form and stayed black as night. Dragoness lit up the sky with lightning.
"You have something I want" Dragoness told him
Omega just smiled and drew the Black Dagger.
"This? I don't think so. You see, as long as this stays in my hand, I have granted myself with eternal life"
"I intend to take away that grant" Dragoness claimed
DDX- Bwhahaha! Again, a cliffhanger. That's kinda my thing. Now up to this point, I want to know what your FAVORITE chapter was. If you can't decide, then wait until we get to the next chapter and so on and so on. So everyone, I wonder what will happen next. Many battles are being fought. Almost too many. Will evil finally prevail?
