Warriors Of Old

Disclaimer: what is the point of this if I owned the game I wouldn't write these fanfictions for recognition I would have released Dungeon Keeper 3.

I want to thank Mistress Pyra for her review that gave me an ingenious idea.

Chapter 6: fire and water

He ran, the person did not know where he was running to but he ran, the fear causing his body to shake making his steps erratic. Shouts echoed behind him as minions of darkness pursued him. He ran along the green tiles heat emanating from all of them causing him to sweat as exhaustion caught up with him. Dropping to his knees he looked down the corridor staring at the face of a woman engulfed in flames who was laughing of him. "Foolish mortal." She laughed.

"You will die tonight keeper! My masters are on their way here as we speak." The man laughed before being blasted across the room with a fireball. The body flew through the air landing in a heap at the end of the corridor as several imps carried it off to the graveyard.

Meanwhile

"It has begun." A voice echoed through the combined dungeon of Piccard and Azrael.

"What?" The keepers both said in surprise.

"Kessler, locate the voice and where it is coming from." Piccard ordered and Kessler headed out the room.

"You will find that quite impossible. Piccard." The voice echoed. "I have just come to warn you that the spell to transform keepers is a success and they are going to try it on an elemental turned keeper. I believe you know her quite well Azrael. Her name is Keeper..."

"Yes I know Keeper Pyra." Azrael explained. "And I know that if they do succeed in converting Pyra then we are in for a world of hurt...

"What do you mean the humans managed to get a base camp set up near here?" Pyra shouted in anger firing a ball of fire at a passing imp causing it to explode

"It seems that a keeper has been converted by the humans and that is why we missed them." A warlock explained.

"HOW THE FUCK DID WE MISS THE KEEPER THEN?" She screamed in anger as she held the warlock by the throat as his feet dangled in the air.

"The Rouges detected them but before they could report the keeper had defeated them and taken them prisoner." The warlock gasped and Pyra sighed as she dropped the Warlock who gasped for air as he sat on the floor before composing himself and standing up again.

"I always knew they were useless." Pyra sighed as she teleported to the end of her dungeon looking across the white tiles. "So what keeper do they have?" Pyra asked.

"Me!" A voice shouted from her left as she was hit with a blast of water. Now normally a water jet would not really hurt a keeper but with the speed it hit and the fact she is a fire elemental.

"Sponge I should have guessed it was you that had the weak mental ability to avoid conversion!" Pyra snapped.

"Say what you will but you are needed alive unfortunately." Sponge replied firing another jet of water. Pyra rolled out of the way firing a fireball catching Sponge in the shoulder but it barely effected him. Muttering a spell of unknown tongue a ball of white light fired at Pyra. Pyra cursed as the ball collided with her, her body not responding as she felt energy rush through her body causing immense pain. The pain echoed round her dungeon as creatures stopped what they were doing and keeled over in pin it being too much for even the mistresses to handle. The imps exploded leaving fires burning all around her dungeon the creatures that were near the imps set on fire increasing the torment they felt. Pyra screamed in pain as she could feel the magic of the human's rush through her body.

"I must help her." Azrael shouted as he paced his dungeon.

"You cannot it is exactly what they expect you too." Almeric explained.

"I never normally agree with another Keeper's creature but Almeric is right." A voice said from the other side of the room called and Azrael turned to look at Kessler.

"I know I know normally I would not give a damn about the other keepers but when it involves people who I killed and are out to kill me it just pisses me off!" Azrael snapped as the ground shook underneath the three.

"And this is the problem of staying in this dimension for too long Azrael or should I say Peter." Piccard explained from the doorway. "Your emotionless facade starts to drain how long has it been since you were last in your human body?" Piccard asked.

"That life of mine is over. It has been over since my last friend there died. I have nothing there the only thing I have is this kingdom. Only with this is the peace I get truly lasting." Azrael replied.

"The reason is that your human life is what keeps the keepers strong the dungeon heart is linked with the human body in essence it is your human body. Kessler has been doing research into this for years it turns out that when the keepers essence is destroyed their human body dies with it that is why the keepers spend time in their real bodies." Piccard explained and Azrael looked at him in shock.

"You really have been doing your research." Azrael smirked. "But I cannot return when I die here it will be the end of my life and I for one accept it even if the rest of you don't." Azrael sighed and vanished from their sights.

"When he does that it is best to leave the room cause normally something is about to go BOOM!" Almeric informed with extra emphasises on the word boom. The 3 quickly departed and Azrael reappeared laughing.

"I love doing that it always scares the hell out of him!" Azrael laughed before turning serious and looking over the maps of the dungeon realms.

"The spell was tiring Pyra out she did not have long and she knew it. Concentrating on her power she channelled the fire of her fire elemental abilities into a sword and lashed forwards. Sponge who was not expecting any kind of resistance looked in shock as he was impaled through the gut. He then looked at Pyra and smirked as a water stream extinguished the sword. Summoning a sword of ice he took up an attack pose as Pyra slowly did the same except holding a sword of fire. "One shall stand while the other shall fall!" Sponge shouted.

"The one that stands will be ME!" Pyra shouted as she swung at Sponge. Sponge bought his sword up to parry sparks and shards of ice shooting off of it. Sponge twisted the sword and swung it in a circle quickly disarming Pyra. "I never did like using swords anyway." She laughs as she kicks him where it counts.

(Piccard: ouch that has too hurt!)

(Azrael: trust me it does.)

(Magnus: you saying you were kicked in the nuts?)

(Azrael: Lets not go there!)

Pyra limped back into her dungeon the secret door slamming shut behind her sealing out Sponge. Sponge shouted in anger as he limped over to where the door was. "Well if you wont fight me voluntarily I guess I just have to flood you out" as several warlocks appeared near him and all started chanting a spell that caused water to pour out and shoot into the dungeon. None of it leaving the dungeon not even a single drop. She would have to come out or risk drowning. The door opened again and Pyra walked out weary and hurt she was slightly limping her expression was that of exhaustion as her head was dropped.

"You want me to convert like this weak minded fool?" Pyra shouted. "It is not going to happen. I will die today!" Pyra called as she summoned a sword and plunged it through her heart.

"NO!" Azrael shouted as he felt Pyra's life force draining rapidly.

"Sponge I will kill you for this even if it is the last thing I ever do!" Piccard cursed as he paused in his sparring match with Kaleb.

Pyra dropped to the floor a small grin tugging at her mouth as she collapsed to the floor her body slowly disintegrating as she fell.

TBC

Azrael: Ok there it is a long wait for that one and the next chapter will not be started for 2 weeks as I will be in Portugal!

Piccard: so where did you come up with the thing that I said?

Azrael: ask me 2 weeks from now when I have thought of the idea but it revolves around the chapter you included me in you ECU fanfiction.

Magnus: BOOBIES

Azrael: ok time to end this so my loyal readers don't see me massacre Magnus.
