"So, you want us to had over the kid?" Seth raised an eyebrow, "Izanagi give'em over!"
"Seth!" His fellow Guild Mates shouted.
"Just saying..."
"I like this guy! Can we keep him!" Suna laughed.
"No Suna...we just came for the kid..." Chen sighed and shook his head.
"Fine."
"Look I don't know why you guys want the kid, but you can't have him. He's kind of our job." Axton told them.
"Well then that sucks! Guess we get left with no choice huh Suna?" Chen scratched the back of his head.
"Yeah...no choice." Suna nodded as raised one hand and the sandstorm picked up.
"Sand Magic!" Seth got ready to fight. Chen stood face to face with Axton as two long silver chains extended out from the palms of his hands
"Chain Magic..." Axton noticed, "Izanagi, you're going to have to get out of here. Take Maximus and go we'll cover you."
"Hmph, you really think I'm going to miss this just so you guys can have all the fun."
"It's not about having fun right now!" Axton told her.
"What?!" Seth looked back, "Why not?!"
"Damn it guys we are on a mission so just do as I say and we can get Maximus home as soon as possible!"
"Fine." the two pouted.
"Wait! I get to fight! Ha!" Seth mocked Izanagi.
"Next time you watch the kid." She told him.
"Yeah yeah whatever." Seth rolled his eyes. Izanagi then left the two mages to fight.
"Alright...Seth you ready?" Axton asked.
"Yeah, I'm itching to burn something up!" Seth cheered as his fist were consumed by black flames.
"Hmph, you guys are just prolonging our mission!" Chen scoffed as he started twirling his chains.
"We'll we're just doing ours, and we won't fail!"
"Ya sure about that?" Suna asked.
"Oh yeah..." Seth snickered, "We're sure."
Chapter 6: The Desert!
"Seth, remember we're not here to have fun. We have to handle them as quickly as possible so we can catch up with Izanagi." Axton told his partner.
"Man...you're no fun on missions. I hate it when you get all serious." Seth pouted, "I can just please be free to do what I want?"
"No, just handle it as quick as you can." Axton told him.
"Eh, fine." Seth groaned.
"Sand Buster!" Suna stuck one hand out sending out a blast of sand.
"Fist of the Flame God!" Seth punched the sand with his black flamed fist and had a big grin on his face. Suna had vanished though. Seth darted his eyes around in search for Suna.
"Desert Flower!" Suna appeared behind Seth and snapped his fingers. The sand began to swirl around Seth and seemed to have transformed into quick sand.
"Fist of the Flame God!" Seth punched the sand, but only got his fist stuck, "Crap!" He shouted.
"Seth you're screwed already?!" Axton barked.
"Don't judge me!" Seth barked back, "Just worry about your fight!"
"He's got a point!" Chen spoke as he whipped his chain towards Axton. Axton quickly moved out of the way, but soon felt a chain lash across his back. Axton looked over his shoulder to his back and saw the chain. He then felt another chain smash right into his ribs.
"Augh!" Axton held his ribs in pain from the attacks.
"Steel Punishment!" Chen shouted as he began lashing his chains at Axton. Axton avoided them as best as he could.
"Silver Snake!" Chen sent his chains flying, but Axton simply smiled.
"Re-quip: Lions Claw!" He stuck both of his hands out and two magic circles had appeared. After retrieving his hand from both magic circles he now had sixteen inch blades on each of his fingers, acting as claws. Quickly He ducked the "Silver Snake" attack and rushed forth. He charged his "claws" with Lightning Magic and swung towards Chen.
"Whoa!" Chen jumped back avoiding the oncoming strike. He called back his chains in an instant.
"Steel Punishment!" Chen shouted lashing his chains once more. Axton avoided them much easier this time, his speed seemed to have increased thanks to his Re-quip spell.
"I'm too fast for you now huh?!" Axton smiled avoiding the chains then appearing in front of Chen and slashing his chest.
"Crap!" Chen stumbled, but made sure his chains lacerated the back of Axton. Axton took the attacks with a smile on his face, and then kicked Chen in the chest.
"Gr..." Chen growled.
"Lions Lightning Strike!" After charging one of his claws with lightning Axton leaped in the air, and then came down slashing Chen.
"Gaaah!" Chen stumbled back and gritted his teeth. Chen placed his hand over his wound and looked over at Axton, "Pretty good...but try this on! Silver Trap!" Chen clapped his hands together and his two chains flew from his sleeves and right into the sand.
"Hmm?" Axton didn't know if they would attack, but he kind of assumed where they'd come from. He jumped up in the air expecting them to come from below him, only to feel the chains catch him in air.
"What the-?!" He looked behind him to see that the chains shot up from the ground behind him, and extended long enough to catch him in the air.
"Yeah! I knew you'd do something like that!" Chen held one hand out and a chain began to appear around his arm, "Chain Dragon!" With that the chain launched itself from Chen's armor transforming into a large chain made dragon and opened it's jaw.
"We should be done here..." Chen smirked expecting this move to end their little confrontation.
"Don't count me out just yet!" Axton informed as his claws had vanished. Chen then just waited as his Chain Dragon ended the fight. Or so he thought. It seemed to have stopped right in front of Axton with it's mouth left agape.
"Hmm?" Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Shell Shield!" Axton grunted fighting off the spell. Axton is now holding, what appeared to be a large shell shaped shield.
"Ha!" Axton pushed the Chain Dragon away and then freed himself from the chains. Axton took the shield and reeled his body to one side, "Shell Bash!" Axton shouted throwing his shield down towards Chen while it was coated in water. Chen quickly jumped back and stuck both hands out to stop the shield. It only slowed down the attack, the shield continued to push through and drove it's way straight into Chen's stomach.
"Gah!" Chen fell to the ground. Axton landed on the sand and his shield returned to him. Axton walked over and saw Chen's eyes rolled in the back of his eyes.
"Hey! Seth you done yet?!" Axton shouted at his partner.
"Give me a second!" Seth barked back as he was now missing his lower body. Yes, he was now waist deep in the quick sand Suna had placed him in.
"This was rather easier than thought...it kind of saddens me..." Suna sweat dropped.
"Well hurry up! We need to catch up with Izanagi and Maximus!" Axton told him.
"Uh! Fine!" Seth took a deep breath, "Fist of the Flame God!" He roared and his fist exploded beneath the sand. the flames caused the sand to explode up, much to Seth's dismay.
"Stupid sand..." He muttered as his fist was now freed.
"What about your legs?!" Axton shouted.
"Eh, I'll handle that in a second..." Once again Seth took a deep breath, "Bellow of the Flame God!" With that Seth released a black blast of flames. He was still stuck.
"Well...guess I should just leave you here." Suna shrugged.
"No! Fight me!" Seth barked, "Exploding Fist of the Flame God!" Seth sent a black fireball towards Suna. Suna side stepped the attack. Suna simply shook his head.
"Really?"
"Bellow of the Flame God!" Seth used his Bellow once again, but this time actually aimed it at Suna. Suna quickly leaped in the air to avoid the attack.
"Want help?" Axton asked.
"No!" Seth shouted, "Flame God's Cloud!" With a wave of his hand a cloud of black flames reached up towards Suna.
"Sand Barrier!" Suna coated himself in a sphere of sand blocking the flames, but the flames consumed the sand shield with ease.
"Exploding Fist of the Flame God!" Seth sent another fire ball towards Suna.
"Sand Barrier!" Once again Suan created the ball of sand to conceal himself in. The fire ball Seth and sent out blasted right through.
"Whoa!" Suna barely avoided the fire ball, "I'm going to need to make my attacks a little more dense aren't I?"
"Bellow of the Flame God!" Suna knew Seth would try something like that, and already planned for it. Suna landed on the ground and watched the flames come towards him.
"Desert Tower!" Suna clapped his hands together creating a large tower of sand that blocked the attack. The flames seemed to have continued to burn through the sand, no matter how much sand Suna used up.
"Damn it..." Suna muttered.
"Exploding Fist of the Flame God!" Seth roared as he continued to sink, he was now shoulder deep in the sand.
"Seth you better do something..." Axton informed, "You sure you don't want help?"
"No leave me alone!" Seth demanded, "I got this! I think I'm winning!"
"Oh really now?" Axton just shook his head.
"I'm kind of bored of this fight." Suna landed on the ground and looked to see that Seth was neck deep, and was struggling to keep his head up.
"Come on! What'chu got next?!" Seth shouted at Suna.
"Nothing much, just the finisher!" Suna placed his hand on the ground, "Desert Geyser!" With that a sudden explosion erupted from beneath the sand that Seth was buried in. The explosion caused the sand to roar up high and into the sky.
"Seth!" Axton shouted seeing as his friend was no longer in the sand trap.
"Now...you next?" Suna asked.
"Damn it..." Axton gritted his teeth, "You really lost huh?" Suna got in a fighting stance, "Let's do this!"
"HEY! We're not done yet!" Seth shouted as he came flying down from the sky with his fist cocked back, "Fist of the Flame God!" He roared.
"W-wait what?!" Suna then felt the black flamed fist smash across his face knocking him down and out. Once Seth landed he dusted himself off.
"You lost..." Axton said with a grin.
"No you thought I lost. That explosion freed me..." Seth told him, "There's no way I was going to lose to that guy...next time though...let's just give the brat up."
"Can't do that, our objective is to keep him safe."
"Eh...from them...but when I see him..."
"Izanagi will stop you." Axton said as he started walking off in the direction he saw Izanagi go.
"I'll just kick her butt too! Stupid brat getting me drowned in sand and crap..." Seth groaned.
"Oh shut up..." Axton rolled his eyes.
"Wait so...where'd they go?" Seth asked.
"Don't worry I know which way they went." Axton confirmed.
"And your sure they went the right way?" Axton stopped and hung his head, "I sure as hell hope that ran the right way..." He muttered before he continued walking.
"Wait what?! You didn't give her the map or anything?!" Seth barked, "We just kicked those guys butt's for nothing?!" And from there Axton had to deal with a complaining Seth.
Hey guys :D just thought I'd give you all a heads up on something real quick! Let's say you guys came up with a real Character recently and want to submit them to the story but feel like you can't! Well I'm here to put that idea down! You can still submit Characters :D I just thought I'd let you guys know, because I know you might want more than one Character in the story or something. One good guy, one bad guy or a couple something like that. But here are the only Guilds that are open and available in case you decide to do so :D
-Titan Heart
-Wyvern Wing
-Hydra Fang
-Red Asura
So if you guys want to submit another go right on ahead :D
Next Time: Seth and Axton have quickly and easily defeated their opponents with ease, at least for now that is. But the question is, who were they? Why were they after Maximus? Who did they work for? Also...DID Izanagi go in the right direction? Or is she bound to get lost with little Maximus on her back? Will Axton and Seth find her in time before the sky darkens over the desert wasteland? Who knows?! I know!
