Ch. 5 The First Night and the Fight
I had been a couple of hours since the group had left Noma. They had started heading for the entrance to hell, though it would take a while to reach it. Danny had been talking to Demetra for the majority of the time, while Paul led the way, Zaku behind him. Jacob walked on in silence in-between the two groups. He eventually joined in the talk with Danny and Demetra. As night approached the found a clearing in the woods. Setting up camp with some of the supplies that the Amazons had supplied they soon had food and drink for all. Paul continually rubbed his right arm. After a while Danny looked over and said, "What are you doing?" "What does it look like Chambers? My arm is continually having shots of pain," Paul snapped. Night finally set in full force and the group laid down to sleep. The entire group laid around the camp fire. The flames sent shadows flying in strange forms around to the trees. Meanwhile Danny was tossing and turning. His dream was less than pleasant.
As Danny awoke a strong odor filled his nostrils. He had smelt this before. His eyes flashed open and he sprang up. The camp was completely destroyed. The worst sight was the canvases soaked red…with blood! Paul's remains were scattered around the camp. Jacob's body had holes in it, sword stabs and burnt flesh. Zaku was missing his head. There was a moan. As Danny's head swiveled over to it's sorce he saw. Demetra was on the ground, bloodyed, bruised, and near death. Danny ran to her. Lifting her head he was sighlent. She looked up at him and stuttered, "Why Danny? Why…?" and she was gone. "Hello Danny Chambers," said a chilling voice. As Danny looked to the scorce he saw a dark figure with it's head down! Whatever it was, it had wings. Worst of all it was holding the Eslydion! "Finally," it muttered and charged Danny with such speed that Danny lost it. Just before it slashed danny got a look at it's face but only saw himself…
A figure landed next to Danny, it's dark wings folding in. It studied the camp and saw the people. Evil thoughts filtered through it's mind. It then looked down at Danny's tense face. Reaching to it's sheath it pulls out a sword. It raised the sword and was about to stab Danny when it grabbed it's head. Taking flight again it was out of sight instantly. Meanwhile a stray shadow returned to it's group as Zaku watched out of the corner of his eye to make sure that whatever it was, was gone. The one thing that puzzled him was the fact that it had looked like the Paladin. "It must have been a Shaper Demon," Zaku muttered to himself. As he pondered the question Danny shot straight up. He frantically looked around the camp. Everything was in order. No figure. Everyone was alive. He checked the Eslydion but it was there. Zaku watched all of this. As Danny was getting back into his bed a roar was heard a short distance away. Zaku was up in a moment. Paul's eye's were open. Demetra and Jacob were getting up. Danny was up again. "What was it," he asked Paul.
"I can't tell" Paul responded. "I do know one thing. Whatever it is, it's coming this way"
Another roar, much closer this time. Paul's eyes widened. "DUCK!" He yelled and dropped. Zaku was down as well. Demetra and Jacob hadn't gotten up yet. As Danny was going down a blast ripped through the tree's and the camp. A black creature flew over them. Danny recognized the blast, the attack of the Chaos Emperor Dragon!
"What's the Chaos Emperor Dragon doing here!" Danny yelled at Paul.
"Are you that stupid Chambers," Paul said. "That's just a Chaos Dragon, a much lesser form of the Bringer of Armagedon," Paul said standing up. "Zaku get ready here it comes," Paul said. Zaku had his sword drawn but no one heard the other enemy approach, and the Strike Ninja, Raiden, had a perfect shot at Zaku. He appeared behind him and nailed him with a bomb. It hit Zaku square in the back and bounced, luckily, though when it exploded it was close enough to do it's job. Zaku was out of the battle as he fell forward, unconscious.
"Zaku!" Paul yelled but had no time to do anything as the dragon cam around again and shot another blast at Paul and Danny. Both dodged and the dragon flew past again. Jacob was up and had his war hammer out. He sent a blow at the Ninja but missed as he jumped up and flipped over Jacob. A blast of holy energy fired at the Ninja as Demetra shot a blast at him. He dodged it again
"Get rid of that Ninja Daniel," Paul said. "I'll take care of the dragon"
"You can't fight, you said so yourself," Danny said.
"Take care of the ninja," He said again and disappeared.
In the branches above the camp Paul appeared again. He raised his left hand and fired a fireball at the dragon. It had no effect, though now the dragon was focused on him. It charged another blast and fired…
Danny had joined the fight with the ninja. This proved a lot harder than he had expected, because the damn guy wouldn't stop moving. Suddenly he jumped and flung shurikens at the group. These missed but the job was done, the ninja was gone. As the group looked up a blast of dark energy hit a nearby tree and a figure fell, hitting the ground. The dragon landed a few feet away from the crash zone. Paul had been right, it was smaller in power and size than it's legendary brother. It began to move towards the figure when the figure moved again, this time the right hand doing so. Paul's face was lit up by a red light that shown on his right arm. The tri-symbol curse had been released and Paul's face was contorted in pain. But he didn't stop. He grasped the Masamune and as the dragon opened it's mouth to fire another blast unsheathed it and let loose a wave of dark energy, which hit the thing full in the mouth. The dragon yelled and took flight yet again. Danny would not let it get away. Using the Eslydion he let loose a wave of holy energy which hit the thing full on. As Danny swung again Paul did as well and the two energy's hit midway and glowed a bright gold, the two waves forming a cross, which sliced through the weakened dragon. Danny looked over at Paul's right arm. It was covered in an uncountable number of seals. Paul was sweating and gasping for breath. "Told you I could fight," He said before passing out. The three, Danny, Jacob, and Demetra stood guard, taking turns, but the rest of the night passed without event.
