Chapter Thirteen

Fate of the dammed

October 7, 2009

I don't know what's going on now, I haven't heard from Dractaros in a week, and the same goes for Draconair since I saw her at the Grunty Ranch. Grunty and Omnipotent have been gone for weeks now, and lately I haven't been able to find Hiro, as far as things are, I feel like I'm being left out, I just hope that no one's just been on lately is the case. I'm logging in today to see if anyone's on right now.

When I logged into the Delta server, I was surprised to find it empty, this is odd, there should be at least one person here. I walked down the steps and saw a shop keeper standing next to the save window, he turned to me and said, "We're sorry, but the Delta server is under maintenances, we ask you to gate to another server right now, we're sorry for the inconvenience".

"So, that's it, well, hope they don't mind if I stick around for a minute"

I turned around and before I could even move, someone came right up to me, I recognized his red trench coat, "Skain, what are you doing here" I said in a cold voice.

"Looking for you, today we settle it" he said in a harsh tone.

"Settle what, your bad breath?"

"No you smart ass, I'm going to kill you today"

"Why even bother, you know that I'll just come back, and then we can start another fight again, and again, and again"

"Well, I don't care, you're my top offender, and I need to kill someone right now"

"Lucky me" I said sarcastically, "ok, name the field, and I'll be there"

"Delta Closed Oblivious Twin Hills, came and prepare to die" He turned around and used the Chaos Gate to warp to the field.

"Don't count on it Skain", I moved towards the gate and prepared to warp to the field. I haven't lost to you yet, and I don't plan on it, today, or any day.

When the field loaded in, I saw an open green field with dark storm clouds overhead, I looked for the dungeon entrance on my map and went towards it. When I found the entrance, Skain was waiting there for me.

"What, where not going to fight in the dungeon?" I yelled to him.

"No, I'll take you down here, on the field"

"Fine with me, doesn't mater where I put you down"

"Quit yakking and fight already"

"Alright, in a hurry to die are you, fine then" I drew my weapon and was ready to fight.

"I've been waiting too long for this moment" he pulled his weapon off his back and readied himself for my first strike.

I Charged him with my weapon pointed to my side, I'll hit him with Vak Maxima, I have to be ready for him to counter. Just before I got up to him, he took a swing at me, but I jumped over it and shouted "Vak Maxima!"

He saw it coming and shouted back at me "Juk Divider"

Our attacks slammed together and created a small explosion pushing us apart, he got to his feet quickly and charged me, I slipped on the grass had took longer to get up, when I got to my feet, he shouted "Calamity", I used the wet grass and slid under his attack and get behind him, I'll use this time to cast a regen spell.

I shouted "Rig Saem" and casted the spell on myself, he turned around looking very psychotic.

"Why even bother casting that," He charged me and brought his sword down for a cleave, I blocked with my blade, "you'll die before it truly helps"

"We'll see about that" I pushed him away and charged him.

"What a fool" he said, he readied his blade for a veridical slash, I stopped right away and shouted "MeVak Kruz" Several fire balls shot off my sword and struck him.

"Got ya"

"Phal Repth" he muttered, a green aura surrounded him and healed him to full.

"Dam, spoke to soon"

"Something tells me we could go at this all day" Skain said.

"A flash of lightning bolted across the sky, and a down pour started, "Something tells me, you're right, however, don't think I'll just give up.

"And what made you think I would, I will not stop until your dead"

Another bolt flashed as I said, "Anyone ever tell you to get a healthier hobby, cuse if not, I'll tell you to, with my great sword"

We readied ourselves for another bout waiting for the lighting to strike, since it's raining, I should use a thunder attack, but I must us caution as I'm sure he will to. The next bolt flashed and we charged each other, just as we where next to each other we both shouted at the same time "Ralo Maxima!"

Both of our attacks clashed and a bolt of lightning stuck our attacks, pushing us a good distance apart, "Dammit,PhaRai Don" A bolt of lightning emerged from my sword and bolted towards Skain. Just before my attack hit him he shouted back "Girai Rom!" a twister of electricity appeared around me and shocked me, just as the bolt of lightning hit skain, both of us hit the ground with a loud thud.

"Ouch, the hurt like hell" I said, I got to my feet slowly and saw Skain was in the same boat, he was having a hard time getting up.

"Uhh, why you" He got to his feet and looked very pissed, "You'll regret that you worm"

"Oh look, big bad Skain is mad, come on, I'll only getting started" I slipped a little but got up quickly.

"Ha, looks like your running low, maybe you should get a drink from your bottle baby"

"What did you say! I'll make you eat those word!"

I charged in a blind rage at him, he did the same, all I though about was defeating him at the moment. We clashed our weapons together trying to hit each other and block each other.

"Oh, now who's mad little shortly" he said as we clashed our weapons together again and got in to a deadlock.

"Why not look in a mirror, you'll see an ugly ass with the name Skain" we both pushed harder, but neither of us where giving in.

"Why you, Ralo Maxima!"

"Ralo Divider" Both of our attacks clashed and another bolt struck our blades, both of us where blown away several feet, and we took damage from the clash, it was safe to say that my character was just able to get up.

"Uhh, you little maggot, I'll squash you if it's the last think I do" Skain said with clenched teeth.

"Bring it" I picked my weapon up and ready myself for one final attack when something happened. At first it was just a flicker on the screen, but then, a quake shook us, both of us fell to the ground.

"What the hell" I said puzzled.

I portal materialized before us, and started to open. "What's going on?" Skain shouted.

"You're asking me"

The portal opened, and a big black dragon emerged, however, the Dragon was covered with green spots, "Oh shit," I cussed, "It's a data bug, Skain, we'll have to settle this some other time we have to gate, NOW!"

"No way, I'm not letting some monster stop me from killing you"

"Skain! That monster is bugged, we can't destroy it, even if we worked together, not that we would"

He didn't listen, and charged the dragon.

"No stupid monster will stop me from killing Drako" He jumped in the air and readied to do a deathblow, however, the dragon swatted him away with it's tail he hit the ground hard.

"Skain!"

The dragon turned around and then stabbed him with it's tall, Skain let out a bloody scream of pain and disappeared.

"Shit, I can't take down a data bug, especially in my current state"

The dragon turned around and stared at me, I could tell it was going to attack me, gate out, gate out, why aren't the controls working. The dragon started to crawl towards me, I panicked as the as the dragon got closer and the gate out command wasn't working, if that thing defeats me, I'll end up like Draco, shit.

I started to run, however, the dragon was just as quick as me, I can't fall, I made a promise, not just to Drac, but also to my love. I tripped on a root and hurried to get up however, it was staring me in the face when I got up.

I can't get out, Dractaros, Angel, I'm sorry, but it looks like I'm finished, "You may beat me, But I'm not going down without a fight! Ralo Maxima!" Lightning exploded out of my sword as I struck the monster, however, it struck me with its claws, I let out a scream of pain, it throw me on the ground, my body a bloody mess.

"Drac, I'm s-sorr.."
