LEGACY OF KMAS CHAPTER 27
A QUESTION OF LOYALTY

I came at last to the ninth floor. Inside was an ebony floor, decorated with a white marble-like design. In this room laid six chambers, three on each side. From where I stood, on the north of the room, I saw each of the chambers. On my right were chambers of crimson, gold and pristine color. And on my left were the colors of gray, brown and azure. I peeked into every one of these chambers and realized that within each, contained a certain element of it's respective color. Fire, Lightning and Ice and the right. Wind, Earth and Water on the left. In front of each chamber laid a small actuator. I was unsure but perhaps upon activation, the contents of these containers would be unleashed. So this must be how the elemental properties were imbued upon the Big Seven. But how could such a body endure such harsh treatment? I wondered.

SLAM!

I heard a stairwell door slam shut and I turned quickly towards the noise. I was rather disinterested with who now occupied this chamber with me.

"Oh it's you…" I said. "Shouldn't you be surveying the lower floors?"

"Shouldn't you be on our side?" Said a cold Russian accented voice.

"What do you mean?"

"I think you know precisely what I mean!"

"You dare to question my loyalty, you of all people? The one who has no respect to Kazuya?"

"You judge me wrong, DevilKaz, I have enough respect for Kazuya to not have an insignificant pest like you get him killed!"

"Well then tell me, Vincent Wolf, what makes you question my loyalty?"

"You have the very key to Heihachi's victory, one that I know, you will willingly hand to him!"

"What proof do you have!"

"Come now! What do you have to gain from any of this? What could Kazuya possibly give you that you can't already obtain?"

This was a good question. I was here now, mainly to destroy General Beng. I really had nothing to say in my defense!

"That's what I thought! Now DevilKaz, you will pay for your treachery!" Vincent Wolf said as he brandished his claws.

"I will not defend or explain my actions to you! I will fight you, but I will not kill you! Your heart is in the right place! HAVE AT YOU!"

EVENT: DEVILKAZ VS. VINCENT WOLF
TRACK: MELANCHOLY JOACHIM (Castlevania: Lament of Innocence)

He wasted little time in attack as he lunged forward and slashed. This mortal was quite fast indeed, for he was able to slash at my coat as I dodged. I unsheathed the Sparda sword and assumed a stance.

"You sure it's wise to use such a large weapon against such a rapid foe?" my assailant spoke.

"I'll manage, besides you don't want me to use my other one, trust me!"

He lunged forward again and I deflected his claws to the side and brought the broad side of the sword down upon him. But the slippery bastard leapt away and kicked me in the back of my head. Honestly, for me it was really hard to fight someone and not kill them. But Vincent didn't have to worry as he brought his claws down upon me again and was able to scratch the side of my face.

"That's guaranteed to leave a mark!" Vincent spoke.

"I've had worse!"

"Not as bad as this!" he spoke as he thrust his claws into my side.

I was struck with pain instantly. This was indeed getting annoying. How I managed to keep my cool after even that attack I will never know. But I smacked Vincent away with side of Sparda. I ran towards him and brought the blade this time trying to hit his arm. I succeeded in making contact but unfortunately no damage was done. For his entire arm was encased in the same metal that his claws were made of. He again kicked me in my head and then in my chest. Then with a punch from his steel hands he knocked me right in front of one of the chambers. I was shaken terribly by his punch and could not take too much more.

"Giving up all ready?" Vincent Wolf asked.

"I've only just begun!" I said as I slammed my fist down on the actuator of the Earth chamber. I opened the door and boulders flew from the chamber. Three were sent straight towards my opponent who slashed them to pieces. However he did not notice the forth one which now assaulted him straight in the gut. He was knocked to the floor.

He rose, turned around and met my fist. The Wind Godfist certainly had it's pros, especially when you needed a quick and powerful move. Using the opportunity I struck him again with Kazuya's trademark Devastator. Which sent him flying into another chamber. As I walked over to deliver another blow he leapt behind me and smiled.

"Hope it's hot enough for you" He laughed.

For I had unknowingly walked right in front of the activated Fire chamber. Flames engulfed me as Vincent Wolf laughed through the entire process.

"So sad that you were cremated so soon and didn't get to enjoy the flames! But you'll get all you want in Hell!"

"Confident, aren't we?" I spoke

"What?!"

I emerged from the flames untouched and turned the chamber off.

"I hoped you were smarter then that" I said. "Do you know what happens when a demon and fire meet? The demon gets stronger!" I said. For I now had a supply of fire at my tips! After using some of it to heal me I commenced with an offensive.

"Now burn" I yelled as the fire cascaded down my arms and out of my hands. As if running from a flamethrower, Vincent Wolf ran for his life around the chambers until I was out of ammo and he was in front of me.

"Now I have you!" he said ready to bring his claws across my neck.

"Ever read Gone with the Wind? It's an interesting book, let me give you a preview!" I said revealing the activated Wind chamber.

Tremendous Gale Force was unleashed which set Vincent Wolf straight into and nearly through a wall. He rose again and walked towards me.

"This is not over!" he said.

"You can not defeat me, and your reasons are false! I am no traitor!" I spoke.

"You lie and you know it! I will finish you now!" He said as he began slashing his claws downward.

I was quite curious as to why, but soon I released that he was slashing more and more rapidly until he created an entire vortex of swiping claws. Without hindrance he moved towards me! I could not hope to try and block because I would be taken out by the other swiping claws.

"THIS IS MY BERSERKER BARRAGE! NOW DIE DEVILKAZ!"

I ran and leapt for my life but he near closed in on every defensive dodge I made. I had to find a way to stop him! I suddenly had a risky but clever idea. I leapt in front of another chamber as he closed in again. I asked.

"Vincent! What are your claws made of?"

"The strongest steel known to man!"

"Steel?"

"Yes, you have no intention of destroying them" he said.

"Just checking, not much of a SHOCK to me as it is for YOU!" I unleashed the Lightning chamber and well, the results of Lightning striking a man with metal are not very positive. He was fried on the spot. He was still alive, alive enough to still fight. But this had to end. So I picked him up by the neck and threw him in front of the Water chamber. After drenching him with the wave that emerged I threw him in front of one last chamber.

"I have to go and face Heihachi! You have wasted enough of that time. So chill out here til I return" and with that the ice door was opened and from it shot frozen mist. The water was instantly frozen and my opponent was encased in solid ice. He was still alive thankfully. But as stated I had to continue. Heihachi and Beng were now six floors away from my ands and nothing would stand in my way. NOTHING!
