Taloni gasped as the long vine-like metal coils wrapped around her and pulled her up against the cold stone wall. Her eyes were filled with hate as she watched the knight who controlled the vines with his staff.
"You...uhh!...you know that once you kill me those precious powers from Medina will vanish as well. You will be powerless like the cowards you are, Ahhhh..." Gasped Taloni, for one of the metal vines hand pressed deep into her bullet wound.
" Now little Siren who ever said we were going to kill you?" Smiled the Elder Knight. He then pulled back his hood, revealing a malicious grin. But it was not the grin the made Taloni gasp, it was the four long deep scars across his face. "Yes, complements of you god forsaken mother, and now you will help me cure the scars she left." And with this he turned to the table next to him. On the table was a long scarlet cloth covering a long object.
Taloni now remembered what the Elder knight had said. Without the proper means...
" What are you going to do..." Taloni now wished she was facing death, for the only other option was a fate worse than death. And her heart nearly stopped when the knight pulled off the cloth. There on the table was a black staff, the when light hit it shined as if drenched in blood. The top was shaped into a 3-ponged pitchfork. It was covered in carvings the glowed red when the knight lifted it from the table.
" How did you get that! I thought it was destroyed. You can't, you mustn't" Cried Taloni, unable to contain her fear.
" Please, don't do this... Just kill me...please..." Taloni's eyes began to fill with tears of fear.
" Now if I killed you then all the power of the sirens would be lost. An that would be a terrible waste. No, you shall help me cure these scars and fulfill the promise Medina made to The Fanari knights centuries ago. You will make me immortal and the most powerful being on the planet, and all I ask is for you to share your soul." The knight grinned as he started towards Taloni.
" You mustn't... I must be allowed to pass on, for if I don't the souls of all sirens will be denied the paradise they deserve, and will remain trapped in your evil heart!" Taloni tried to struggle against the vines but the knight with the staff simple raised it and the vines grew tighter. Taloni cried out in pain as she felt one of her ribs crack.
" So prepare yourself siren for we are going to spend a lot of time together, an eternity." And with this the Elder knight raised the staff and pointed at Taloni's chest. The vines separated, exposing her upper chest. Taloni looked up, her eyes closed and her brow focused.
" Gods I beseech thee please, I have never asked for your help, and I ask not for me, but for my ancestors, my mother, please help me, please send help...please..." Taloni, then open her eyes to see the knight hold the black staff back ready to strike.
" I am sorry my dear, but it seems you are quite alone, for who would ever save a monster like you." The Knight then started to advance toward Taloni but stopped when a strange noise came from outside the wall opposite Taloni. It was if something was charging up. Then there was a sudden blast, and rock and rubble sprayed into the chamber. Taloni turned her head to avoid the rubble. She then strained to see what had caused the blast. Through the smoke and dust she saw five figures, one with a glowing blue arm outstretched.
" Titans GO!"
