The Ruins Are More Than Expected…
In the ruins next to Naples
"Be on your guard" warned Dante "We don't want to be ambushed by the blood spiral." "Remind me why we didn't go to the Bermuda triangle and get Arcadia" asked Sophie, she was worried that Dante was getting reckless because he never accepted this mission, "We didn't go to the Bermuda triangle because it would have wasted time, plus we have many powerful titans we should be able to handle it.". "But Dante" said Lok "Didn't you teach us never to underestimate the enemy and NEVER EVER cut corners!" "I did…but this is no normal circumstance." Lok knew it was just because Dante wanted to get this mission done and over with, and Lok had a bad feeling that that would be the team's downfall… and Lok was right. "Dante Vale" said Rassimov "I've been waiting for you"
"Rassimov?" said Dante "Didn't you die in that trap you set for me?", "Oh Dante Vale is so naïve….Isn't he Wind." Said Rassimov "You really need to learn the art of deception" said Wind "He wanted you to defeat the professor, why do you think he gave you Archwarder." Dante took the Archwarder titan out of his pocket remembering how he'd got it. Sophie interrupted his thoughts "What is that thing" she was pointing at a massive dragon like creature, Lok got out the holotome to scan it, it said Name-Arkania Type-Draco-titan Warbeast Size-Colossal Special Ability-Air Blast. A small hologram appeared that looked identical to the dragon behind Rassimov, "You like my new pet, Dante?" laughed Rassimov "He will rip you apart!" "But Rassimov why do you want to kill us? We haven't done anything to you." "No you haven't" thought Rassimov "But you're not the one I want, Dante.", "well that makes a change" said Dante relieved. "I want the boy." Said Rassimov suddenly serious, "No way" shouted Sophie. "Miss Casterwill, I really don't think you have a choice… unless you wish to die protecting him?" said Rassimov with a smirk on his face.Then they all realised while Rassimov had been chatting that they had been surrounded by his suits, "So what is your decision, Dante?". "We won't let Lok go just because we're out numbered" Said Dante, "Its your funeral" Rassimov, he signalled to Wind who shouted an order "Kill or Capture them all except the boy, under no circumstances do you kill the boy or you will be terminated." All the suits nodded in acknowledgement and Rassimov shouted "Attack!"
A split second after the order many things happened, approximately 20 suits all shouted "Sekhmet" and 20 Sekhmets appeared. Wind ran and jumped to face Zhalia in a one on one battle, Dante, Sophie and Lok all summoned titans' "Caliban, Metagolem, Icarus, Feyone, Baselaird and Freelancer". Each titan took on 2-3 of the enemy Sekhmets as Rassimov just watched. Lok was in the middle of fighting a suit when one came behind him and prepared an augerfrost, just as he was about to fire Sophie jumped in "Lok, No!" she dived in the path of the augerfrost and was slammed against a wall and knocked out. Lok turned after just defeating the suit, just in time to see an unconscious and bleeding Sophie being dragged away by 3 suits. He was furious and felt like going into an immense frenzy on the 3 suits, but he knew it would be no good so he kept fighting. Meanwhile Zhalia was still fighting Wind while Dante was fighting a load of suits behind her; she turned to see Rassimov preparing a dark wave to unleash on a busy Dante, she shouted a warning "Dante look out" this gave Wind the chance he needed. He jumped, spun and kicked Zhalia round the head and nearly knocked her out. Dante finished of the last of the suits he was fighting and flipped to avoid the dark wave, only to see a badly shaken Zhalia being carried by Wind towards Rassimov. He looked at his Russian enemy only too see him smirk and shout a command "Fall Back!" He knew about the relationships in the team and that he could lead Lok to him with Sophie but know he had got double his money with Zhalia, Dante was reckless when angry and Rassimov would take advantage of that.
Rassimov, Wind, Suits, hostages Sophie and Zhalia, Lok and Dante met in the centre of a clearing in the ruins, Lok and Dante were bruised by battle but looked as fierce as ever. "You survived Dante, I'm impressed" laughed Rassimov "I knew you were good but not that good." "Give us back our team" said Dante with fire in his eyes. "If you want them back…come and get them taunting both Lok and Dante by pointing at the limp bodies next to him. Dante and Lok looked into each others eyes and Lok knew, "No Dante" he whispered "There's no point" but Dante had made up his mind he shouted a battle cry and "Hyperstride!" as he jumped towards Zhalia. His cry was returned by a laugh from Rassimov and a shout of augerfrost from his 12 remaining suits, Dante was hit in mid-air and dropped to the ground immediately, Lok went to help him only to be beaten there by suits. "Will you make the same mistakes as your leader, Lok?" asked Rassimov, Lok looked at his two companions and his dream girl and felt an amazing urge to jump in and try to save her. But he knew he must bide his time and save them later, he turned to leave and said "Rassimov…watch your back". He left to the sound of Rassimov's crazy laugh, but he knew he would wipe that smile of his face some time soon.
