Deadly Warrior's newly acquired air ship, which he had christened Omnirus, soared gracefully through the skies, leaving the Kanto air space. From the control cabin Deadly grinned slightly with delight at his new ship. Whilst full of pride, Deadly, for almost the 16'th time in that hour, remembered what Azuma told him.

"I better get to Altea quick!" he muttered under his breath.

He sped up, and the ship sailed off..

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Daemon by the name of Azuma bowed before a dark figure in front of him.

"Master," Azuma whispered, "I bow before you to apologize for not destroying the infidel."

"I suppose you should be. I do not want you toying around with enemies. Especially one as strong as Deadly Warrior. I am sending 3 regular demons to go dispatch of him. If they fail, you can destroy him. But, if they don't....well, you will be destroyed."

Azuma gulped.

"Yes master." He whispered.

Azuma got up, and walked out of his master's chamber, and headed down the hall. He stepped through the dark corridors of his Master's chamber, and to another chamber. He stepped through it, and several Demons stood up.

"I am sending you Demons on an attack strike. You will probably sense it, so destroy this airship." Azuma said as he projected a mental image of Deadly Warrior's ship into their minds.

"Right now, he is in the land of Pharae. If you fail, I will destroy him."

~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Deadly Warrior glanced out the window of his airship, and noticed a sign down low. He lowered his ship, and landed. As he stepped off the flying ship, he got a look at the sign.

"Welcome to Pharae." It read.

Deadly Warrior seemed to remember once someone telling him Pharae was the Neighbor country of Altea. Yes, Deadly thought. He got back into the Omnirus, and re-levitated himself. He activated the engines again, and zoomed across Pharae.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Azuma snapped his fingers and teleported to Altea. He sensed his 5 Demons closing in on Deadly Warrior. He grinned with evil delight.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The Omnirus was now on auto-drive, and Deadly Warrior was resting on a bed. As he shifted uncomfortably on his bed, he heard a large explosion. He sprung to attention, and grabbed his Shenlong blade as he headed to the bridge. To his dislike, Deadly Warrior saw a purple Demon standing on the front of his ship. Deadly shifted expressions, and ran back to grab his Broadsword. The Demon was still there, as Deadly stared it down. He walked out to the deck, where the Demon was.

"And you are?" asked Deadly.

"I am Grapodos! I have been sent here by Daemon General Azuma to dispose of you!"

"Pfft, so that asshole has degraded himself to sending minions to dispose of me? What, is he afraid of me?"

"No, Lord Azuma just wants to keep his word by meeting you in Altea. Now, Die!" yelled Grapodos as he charged Deadly.

Deadly Warrior dropped his Shenlong blade and charged Grapodos with his Broadsword. The purple Demon delivered a swift punch to Deadly's gut, but he took the pain. Deadly swung his sword and slashed Grapodos on the arm, but he kicked Deadly in the arm, causing him to drop his sword. Deadly did not react to this well, as he unleashed a storm of punches into the Demon. Grapodos staggered back, and fell down beside Deadly's Shenlong blade. He grabbed it, and slashed Deadly across the chest, sending him backwards.

"You are good Grapodos, but I'm better!" taunted Deadly.

Grapodos charged Deadly, readying his blade. Deadly grabbed his Broadsword quickly, and at just the right moment, cut off Grapodos's hand.

"Gyyyyyaaaaaaa!!!!!" the Demon screamed as his hand fell limp on the deck.

Whilst clutching his wound, Deadly took this time to his advantage, and swung his Broadsword, and proceeded to slicing the Demon into 4 different parts. An X formed across him, and with a scream, disintegrated. Deadly sheathed his Broadsword, and walked over to Grapodos's hand. He picked it up, and it disintegrated too, only leaving Deadly's Shenlong Sword.

Deadly walked back into the ship, shaken up.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Azuma stood the grassy plains of Altea, and stood silently. He mentally contacted his Demon minions.

"My pawns, cancel the order of attacking Deadly Warrior. He has already killed Grapodos with ease. Come and join me in Altea."

Azuma grinned evilly, and laughed maniacally
