Wow…I've been updating more than ever! XD know why? Because now I get to type my tragedy-based chapters!!!!!!!!claps happily why am I so evil to the characters? T.T haha – oh well and I miscounted! I haaavvve…let's see…probably 6 chapters left – maybe 7 if one of 'em's short. And I have been typing this bit-by-bit the whole week with the idea of the chapter in mind but it took me this long to update it and type it up XD
Eh…I'm modeling Ruzac's brother after Axel from Kingdom Hearts – just because I love both of them (you'll seeee…I know he sounds like a raging, bloodthirsty lunatic right now)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's been such a long time since I've seen you," the ruby-haired rider sighed.
"It would be hard to forget you, Kile," Ruzac seethed hatefully.
"You still remember me!" Kile said, "What can I say? I'm so FLATTERED!"
He immediately unsheathed his opaque-grey sword, grinning and glaring like a crazy lunatic crossed with a demon at the younger dragon rider all the while. Pale, gloomy-colored flames danced around his hands as he grasped the silver-and-black-stone hilt. Bloodlust flickered in his bright-red eyes along with an emotion Ruzac was barely able to catch since it quickly disappeared. It had been something close to longing and utter misery.
However, seeing he obviously wanted to fight, a glare of amethyst shone as Ruzac held his sword a bit to the side to make sure he didn't cut Jade's neck. His eyes flashed with revenge and a small hint of loneliness.
Let's settle this once and for all, he prodded the shade's mind.
I'm ready whenever you are, Kile replied, kid.
Black eyes narrowed and both dragons took flight simultaneously. Grey clashed with violet as both riders joined blades – their partners were locked in each other's claws, trying to make the other plummet to the ground from so much weight. Jade twisted and got above Slate, raking sharp hind and fore-claws across the other's – to his dismay – armored underside. Foot-and-a-half-long fangs glinted in the light as the smoky-colored dragon snaked his head towards the side of Jades neck where only his scales stood in the way of Slate's dagger-like teeth.
"Adurna!" the opposing rider's older voice commanded and a thick blanket of clouds drifted around Jade and Ruzac – ruining their sense of direction and where Kile was.
"Vindr!" Ruzac attempted to blow away the fog with wind but it just made it harder to see.
The whistling sound of air traveling over a dragon's scales weaved its way past Ruzac's ears.
From above! He directed Jade and he swiftly flew to the right.
A blur of a dull, ashy hue cannonballed past them, but stopped and lashed out with dark, hooked claws towards Jade's eyes. He roared as they were just-able to scratch his muzzle. Crimson blood spurted from the deep wounds and rained down upon the soldiers below.
Ruzac's obsidian eyes widened when they caught sight of a large expanse of pale inferno shooting towards him and Jade. The attack on his companion had been both a diversion and serious assault.
"Vindr brisingr-"Ruzac could barely utter the phrase before he was interrupted.
Ruzac! We need your help – there's a rider from the Empire that Eragon's fighting and our ranks are weakening! I can't keep this up forever, Ane reported through her and Ruzac's mind-link as the older rider watched his lilac flames – aided by the wind to help with accuracy - actually miss their target by barely an inch. He hesitated before replying.
I'll be there as soon as I can; he told her and severed the link.
Your girlfriend? His opponent smirked, having been able to eavesdrop on the brief conversation.
How'd you - NO by the way – ugh, never mind we'll have to finish this later, Ruzac hissed and urged Jade on towards Ane's direction.
It's not that easy to get rid of me, you know, the older brother said evilly, Plus, I'd like to see your friends.
Sensing immediate danger for Ane and Winix, Jade flew faster and harder to try and out-fly Slate so they could get to both girls quicker but to no avail. Slate was just too much stronger and had more stamina than he thought.
Ane, Ruzac said, trying to ward off Kile's slimy, probing mind at the same time, it looks like you'll have to fight a bit more – there's these two other guys following me, but I don't know if they're sided with the empire. He made sure not to tell her who or what the said pursuers were.
We're not, Kile made himself heard in both minds.
Who was that? Ane asked worriedly.
The one who's following me, Ruzac said simply.
A rider?! Ruzac! You can't bring another rider over here! Ane screamed, We have enough trouble as it is!
As if I don't know that! He snapped back, then calmed himself a bit, Look, all you need to know is that he's-
They arrived to where Ane was warding off huge masses of soldiers. Winix's front, neck, and wings were completely drenched in crimson blood. Ane wasn't much different – her sword could have been mistaken as Zar'roc from the red liquid.
I'm only going to kill him, not you my pretty Miss, the older brother's voice sounded...wait a minute…charming?!
Since when did the enemy start sucking up to the ladies? Ane sneered but kept fighting the Empire's soldiers.
Not another one… Ruzac seethed, making sure neither rider could hear him, I can handle Eragon but him?!

First thing for me to say:
Daydreamin' angel…you…are…a…psychic…
I laughed sooo hard when you sent me that review saying what could happen this chapter! Oooh man…that was so great :p haha – you nailed it! But you'll get to see what happens in the rest of the story
And I know I kinda ended it in a comedy-ish way but…I was just thinking about how to end it and the anime One Piece is on the TV (the characters are being lunatics). By the way – how many people actually read this fic? --; plz comment on this chapter if you do (I'm curious)
