Disclaimer: I don't own soul calibur or any of its characters.

ON WITH THE STORY!

!Break!

Talim opened her eyes sleepily and looked around. She was on the other side of Assassin's make-shift lab, and apparently sitting down. Her arms were at her sides and they felt numb. She tried to get up and realized,

"Who in the hell tied me up!" she yelled angrily.

"Assassin got us both." Yunsung said lazily. Talim turned to her side and looked past the huge… whatever-it-was to see Yunsung sat in a chair. He smiled at Talim sleepily but she wasn't looking at his face.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR KNEE!" she shrieked worriedly. It was covered in blood and the gory cut had pieces of glass sticking out of it. Yunsung laughed weakly.

"Well when the stupid git knocked us out I kinda ran up to get him and fell on the bottle of chloroform. Stupid huh?" he smiled. Talim smiled with a sigh and shook her head at him.

"What use are you now huh?" she joked but she couldn't bear to see him like that. He was weak from blood loss, she could tell by how pale he was and if it wasn't for the rope holding his to the chair he would be laying on the floor collapsed. All that blood… Then suddenly, Talim began to grin.

"Well whaddya know? Dating a wuss paid off…" she grinned to herself.

"Huh! You're not talking about me are you?" Yunsung asked. Talim shook her head and looked at Yunsung seriously.

"I've got a plan."

!BREAK!

"Lidi? Where is your mother?" Sanput asked as he walked into the kitchen.

"Um, I think she's out back why?" Lidi said while searching for her washing-up gloves.

"Special service. She needs to be there first she's the village elder."

"Why is it special?"

"It's the first one in 14 years without Talim…" (A/n: I decided she had been prophesized to be a priestess since she was 1)

"Ok I see... But first could you help me find my gloves?"

"They're on your hands…"

Lidi looked down at her hands to see two bright yellow gloves on her hands and chuckled slightly.

"Getting senile in our old age are we?" Sanput grinned. Lidi looked up to give him a piece of her mind but he was gone.

"Ooohhh you little…"

"Kalana? Are you out here?" Sanput asked as he walked out into the garden. There he saw Kalana sat there, cross legged and staring into space.

"I wonder what she's looking at?" Sanput thought to himself

"You'd find out if you asked me." Kalana said, still staring into space.

"Gah! How did you know what I was thinking?"

"I didn't. Congratulations you've just been tricked by a senile old woman."

"Senile is right…"

"I heard that!"

"Sorry! Wait what?"

"Ha-ha did it to you again!"

"I deserve some respect you know."

"And why is that?"

"Excuse me? I'm the Village Shaman!"

"Yeah yeah. So why did you decide to come out here and disturb my peace?"

"You need to be present at the service. First one in 14 years without… you know."

"Oh I see. Ok I'll get ready. I do hope those two are careful out there in the city. Noah isn't a little boy anymore. For all we know, that boy could have the power to control anything. Elements, time, will, even emotions…"

!BREAK!

"You useless girl. I regret ever having a shred of pity for you when I saw you on that dirt road…" Siegfried growled at Seung Mina as she searched for a direction to go.

"Oh stow it! You're the one who suggested a shortcut!" Mina spat back.

"Yes! But you agreed!" Siegfried protested. Mina rolled her eyes and kept searching.

"Stupid girl." Siegfried thought to himself.

"You know what? I'm tired AND Alun doesn't look too good either. We're getting a drink!" Mina said and marched to the nearby pub across the road.

Mina walked in and sat at the bar. Siegfried walked in and sat next to her.

"Beer please." Siegfried grunted to the girl behind the bar.

"And an orange juice for me." Mina added then turned to Siegfried. "It's no wonder I've beat you so many times. You need to be healthy to be a god fighter." She grinned. Siegfried snarled.

"I've beaten you enough times to know who is the better fighter." He said quietly with a look of distaste on his face.

"Bit of an odd couple aren't you?" the girl said with a grin and handed them their drinks. Mina went bright red and said,

"Heck no! We're together on strictly business. Heck I'd ditch him now if I wasn't… lost…" Alun seemed to be laughing on Mina's shoulder.

"Alun! That's not nice!" she tutted but laughed anyway. The girl's face hardened.

"A-Alun? Alun! It's Nicole!" She said and Alun hopped over to her shoulder. Nicole looked straight at Seung Mina. It was Mina's face's turn to harden.

"How the hell do you know Alun?" Mina asked viciously.

"I was going to ask you the same question." Nicole hissed back. Seung Mina stood up and clasped her zanbatou.

"He belongs to my friend Talim and her family." She said.

"How do you know Talim? What have you done to her and where has she gone?"

"I don't know where she is I'm looking for her!"

"Bull! How the hell can you not know where she is if you have Alun!"

"Talim sent Alun to her." A voice came from behind Nicole. "You're Seung Mina aren't you?"

Mina nodded.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"I'm Hugo. I was with Talim when she sent Alun to you. I see you got here alright. Do you know where she is?" Hugo replied and asked.

"She's with Assassin, or Noah whichever she calls him. But we don't know where." Seung Mina replied.

"We do." Nicole said.

!BREAK!

"HE'S AFRAID OF WHAT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AND HE CALLS HIMSELF ASSASSIN!" Yunsung exclaimed.

"Ssshhh!" Talim hissed and Yunsung closed his mouth, trying so hard not to laugh.

"Ok, now he'll be out in a bit so just keep act as if you're in searing pain and keep quiet." Talim instructed

"You think I'm ACTING! Sweet God's above…" Yunsung gasped.

Noah picked up the huge demonic blade in his arms. His face was just as demonic. He clasped the hilt with both his hands and the yellow eye opened and they were staring at each other. Evil to evil, cold and unfeeling to cold and unfeeling. Assassin looked at the blade fondly. He and it were one.

"If only it were the same with me and Talim."

"Are you awake my sweet?" Assassin called as he walked out of the door. Talim stared at him with anger and tears in her eyes.

"I despise you with great intensity." Talim growled. Assassin laughed and kissed. She bit his lip.

"ARGH! Sweet God's above!" Assassin yelled.

"…uuuuhhh…" Yunsung groaned. Assassin looked over to him.

"Assassin… help me, I think I'm dying." Yunsung whimpered.

"What are you talking about you moron." Assassin sighed.

"My…knee." Yunsung just managed. Assassin looked down and was met face to face with the gory mess of raw flesh, blood and glass.

"AAAHH!" Assassin screamed and backed away.

"Please! Help. I don't wanna die like this. In a pool of bright red blood…" Yunsung taunted. Assassin backed further away.

"Stop it stop it I hate blo…" He started then collapsed to the floor in his own pool of blood. There behind him was Siegfried and his zweïhaander covered in Assassin's blood. He'd walked right into the sword.

"O.k. not what we were planning." Yunsung said while looking at Siegfried's contented smile uneasily.

"Well were you expecting us to just leave you here kiddo?" a familiar voice came from behind Siegfried. Seung Mina popped her head out and walked down the stairs along with Nicole and Hugo.

"Hey! Long time no see!" Yunsung grinned at Mina. She walked over and slapped him across the face and shouted,

"How could you just up and leave Talim like that? Why I oughtta…" then she stopped when she saw how pale he looked and saw his knee.

"…whoa, what happened to your knee?" she asked. Yunsung grinned.

"Oh now you care?" he asked. Seung Mina folded her arms, turned around and ignored him..

"Uh, I'll look around for a first aid kit…" Nicole said to break the silence.

"Yeah, you do that…" Seung Mina said sharply.

"The things I have to deal with huh Talim?" Yunsung laughed. But Talim didn't reply. He looked over to her and saw she was staring at Assassin's body with wide eyes.

"Talim?" Yunsung asked quietly.

"He's dead? Wow…" Talim said quietly. Yunsung could see her hands shaking.

"Hugo." Yunsung called. Hugo turned to look at him.

"Yeah?" Hugo asked.

"Go untie her. She needs a cheering up. But I'm watching you."

"Err, ok. I'll be good."

Meanwhile Siegfried knelt down and spat on Assassin.

"You're a thief, a coward and I hope you rot in hell." He growled. Suddenly Assassin opened his eyes and whispered

"…not before you."

Hugo went over to untie Talim but before he could get to her, someone grabbed his ankle. He looked down and saw Assassin smiling up at him.

"No boy. You're staying here.
