Legacy of Travas

Chapter 7: Wrath of the Sun Demon, Adrian

In the city of Meridian, many people roam around town to continue on with their daily lives, ranging from work, shopping, and so forth. The Sarafan continued to watch over the people and protect them from whatever dangers may await them. The people, on the other hand, continued to do the best they could to help improve society in Meridian, and perhaps that of Nosgoth itself. But all of the sudden, all of this was interrupted when something started attacking the docks in the Wharves. The being responsible was none other than Adrian, the demonic anthro kitsune who began to set the Wharves into flames.

"EVERYONE GET OUT OF HERE! THE SUN DEMON HAS JUST STRUCK UPON THE DOCKS! RUN", one man screamed as he ran for his life, trying to avoid the chaos happening within the city.

"Someone, call the Sarafan, the sun demon is raging hell upon us all!" yelled a woman not too far from the Wharves shopping district.

Flying in the skies above, Adrian the demonic kitsune continues to wreak havoc among the townspeople of Meridian. He continues to fly around the city slowly as he took his time wiping out one section at a time thoroughly. Soon enough, he begins to see the results of his rampage pleasing.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Excellent, these people are dying a lot faster than I have anticipated. I was expecting the Sarafan to throw down a gauntlet against me, but apparently, they're dying by my fiery hands. Soon enough, the Sarafan will be no more but a pile of ashes blown away by the winds of Nosgoth", Adrian thought to himself as he continued his fiery rampage upon the citizens of Meridian.

*On the Road to Meridian*

While driving upon the road leading to Meridian, Travas begins to see smoke form within Meridian City, knowing damn well that the demon has arrived and is striking upon the city as he drove there.

"Damnit…! I gotta get there fast before everyone in Meridian gets killed by the demon", Travas thought to himself as he began speeding up on the motorcycle and drove onto Meridian. "Please, maker… help me get there on time so I can save the people of Meridian from the fate that is about to fall upon them", he thought to himself once more, hoping that faith could help him get there sooner before it was too late.

*Within the Vampire Citadel*

Janos was sitting on a meditation bench with his legs crossed, meditating peacefully upon the cool breeze outside. However, he sensed trouble among Meridian as he broke from his meditation session to go look upon the balcony in which the city could be seen. As he saw the smoke within that direction, Janos became worried about the civilians within Meridian and Travas himself. Then suddenly, one of the female vampire servants appears before him with devastating news.

"Sire, Meridian is under attack, and it appears to be that the rumors about the kitsune demon have been confirmed", the female vampire servant explained urgently and slightly frightened.

"Aramantha, how long ago has this fiery rampage been going on", Janos asked urgently as he grabbed her shoulders.

"It was just about ten minutes ago, Sire. I'm unsure about the demons motives of attacking Meridian, but it may have a connection with the attack on Coorhagen", Aramantha answered while freaked out over the attack in Meridian City.

"We must find the other vampires in the vampire resistance and send them towards Meridian at once", Janos said, still urgent to send help. Aramantha nods in agreement and begins to make preparations for getting the others.

*In Meridian*

Within the flaming city of Meridian, the Sarafan continue to evacuate as many people out of the city as they could. However, many of the escape routes were becoming blocked off by the raging demon in the skies as he continued to set them ablaze. Adrian simply smirked from all of the damage he did as he heard the woes and cries of the people down below.

"HA! HA! HA! You can try and stop the fire, but your efforts will be in vain as all of Nosgoth will become nothing more than a flaming abyss in the depths of hell", Adrian screamed upon the people of Meridian as he began to form a fiery energy ball within the palm of his hands. Within about a minute of charging the attack and making it close to the size of the Sarafan Stronghold, the demon casts the fiery ball down upon the city of Meridian. Adrian simply smirked as he watched the people of Meridian run for their lives, knowing that their efforts of escape are in vain.

As the demon began laughing hysterically, the fiery energy ball almost makes its impact upon Meridian city, ready to kill the inhabitants of Meridian… until suddenly Travas appeared onto the scene. He manages to park the motorcycle within a far distance with his jacket inside the pouch and ran into the blazing attack, using his hands to deflect it towards a different direction and exploding in mid-air. Adrian looks at this in rage as he looked upon the vulpine man that deflected his attack. But then, he simply smirked upon Travas.

"Well now… I see we have a man that was strong enough to deflect my attack. I have to admit that I was impressed and slightly angered about you being able to deflect such an attack. *Chuckles* and telling by your abilities, I can assume that you must be a vampire. Now I must ask who you might be", Adrian, the demon, asked him curiously and in calm rage while smirking.

"I'm simply a vampuric vulpin who is here to save the people of Meridian from demons like you. And I assume that you must be Adrian, the demon that terrorized and wiped out half of the Coorhagen and of its people", Travas replied.

"Ah, so I am right. You are in fact a vampire… how interesting", Adrian said as his rage increased, but remained calm. "But I must ask you this… what is your name", he asked.

"My name is Travas Starfox, and I'm here to stop you from killing these innocent people. I've foreseen this event happen not too long ago and expected you to come here", Travas replied in a serious, raged tone.

"So you've seen me coming here in your visions? How ironic… you foresaw me coming here as you came to save these people, but upon the moment of your arrival, a large number of civilians have been murdered by the same hand-paw who wrought the deed to the horrific events of Coorhagen", Adrian said while smirking and chuckling to himself. "And to put the top the icing on the cake… you're the next one to die by my fiery wrath", he continued.

"I want to see you try and kill me", Travas declared as he smirked to himself and got into his fighting position. "That is... if you even can", he continued.

"So do you wish to throw down the gauntlet, huh?" Adrian asked while smirking evilly. "Very well then, I accept your challenge", he continued as he flew towards the vulpin below, but abruptly stopped when Travas placed his right hand-paw diagonally in front of his head.

"But first, we must move to a more suitable location since this place is somewhat crowded… and it would be better if we were in open space", Travas spoke as Adrian, though reluctant, nodded in agreement. Then, the vulpin began to head to his motorcycle parked not too far from where they were.

"Very well then… just lead the way", Adrian replied as he followed Travas to the location by flying in the air. Travas began to drive the motorcycle until he got it to where it wouldn't get in the way during the match. He parks it nearby and flies towards the mountains close to their location. Once he found the spot he needed to be, he lands upon a cliff as Adrian lands near the other cliff.

"You can challenge me all you like, but I must warn you that this won't be easy for you. Why…? Well let's just say that your fragile body is going to be extra crispy within the hour… and that I promise you", Adrian said calmly, yet angered.

The only thing Travas was able to do was simply smirk at him as the both got into their battle positions. Then when the time came right for Adrian, he begins to fire the first attack towards Travas, but he merely dodged the demon's attack like it was nothing. As Adrian saw this, he merely growled at him at first, but then smirked as he began to use his melee attacks upon Travas. Immediately, the two clashing warriors began throwing fast punches and fierce kicks at one another, cancelling each other out instantly.

"Wow! I have to hand it to this guy, he's a kenal of a lot stronger than I anticipated… but nonetheless, I'll do my best to defeat this demon… or at least buy the others some time to escape", Travas thought to himself while blocking and throwing punches upon the demon kitsune.

"Who does this man think he is? Does he honestly think he has a chance to defeat me?! Though I admit that he's stronger than I had anticipated, there's no possibility that this man will stand a chance against my power. Soon enough, I'll have Nosgoth's people begging at the mercy upon my wrath", Adrian thought to himself while blocking and throwing punches upon Travas as the vulpin did to him, cancelling each other out.

"Simple, I'm just a vampire whose going to kick your sorry ass and make sure that you get a taste of your own medicine", Travas replied to Adrian's thoughts. "And not to mention that I'll make sure that I save Nosgoth's people from your reign of terror", he continued while Adrian looked upon Travas with a surprised look when he read his mind. But nonetheless, the kitsune continued to strike upon the vulpin with magnificent force. Thus throwing Travas back slightly until he made an aerial recovery and began to strike upon Adrian once again.

What had seemed to be a mere minute had felt like an hour to the clashing warriors. But soon, Adrian began to have the upper hand as he managed to successfully throw a fiery punch at Travas' face, causing him to go crashing down upon the face of the earth. But before the impact ever occurred, Travas managed to make an aerial recovery and shot back up upon the demon. Before he was able to get him, however, Adrian disappeared before his eyes. But before Travas was able to react, Adrian managed to strike a fierce punch upon his back and send him crashing into the earth for sure. But just like before, Travas was able to make a recovery shortly after his sudden impact.

"Usually my opponents do not last this long, but I have to commend you for surviving up to this point. Not to mention that you have this burning desire to keep fighting, upon which I am intrigued by your ambition to save all of Nosgoth", Adrian said while smirking to himself, somewhat impressed with Travas' strength. "However, I do not think that you will stand a chance against me much longer", he claimed as the vulpin cocked a brow at him at first, but then smirked upon him while getting into fighting position again.

"Well, I guess there's only one way to find out", Travas replied as he flew back up into the air and began to clash against Adrian once again.

*Near Uschtenheim*

With the Vampire Resistance conducting their search for answers around the town of Uschtenheim, Vorador and Umah began to speak to whoever was willing to talk to them about the rumors of the demon raging havoc upon Nosgoth. Though few were willing to speak up, both Umah and Vorador began to sense the energy that Travas and the demon were giving off. Thus, they looked upon the direction where the fight was currently taking place in the south.

"Umah, did you just sense the intensity of the two energy signals just now", Vorador asked, shocked upon the rate each energy level is getting.

"Yes, I did…! I could guess that this is the destructive power of the demon we are hunting down. Though I can tell the energy is coming from the direction where Meridian lies, I cannot tell where the exact location is at this moment", Umah replied, still trying to find out the location of the energy readings

"I believe that the energy levels are coming from the canyons just slightly north of Meridian", Vorador answered as Umah instantly shot her head up as a response to remembering something.

"Wait a second… wasn't it possible that Travas was sent to Meridian", Umah replied while finally figuring out who the other energy level is. "Wait… is that Travas' energy reading or has my senses gone to shackles", she asked.

"There's no mistake about that now…" Vorador replied. "But how is it possible that he's gotten this strong within a short amount of time", he thought to himself.

"But the stronger energy reading belongs to the kitsune demon, Adrian. And from the intensity of the energy signals and that of the battle itself, it seems that Travas is beginning to lose against the demon", Umah replied, worried about Travas' life. "What are we going to do", she asked urgently.

"It looks like we may have to go and save Travas before something happens to him", Vorador answered quickly as they began to make their way towards the Canyons near Meridian city.

*Within the Canyons near Meridian*

As the battle raged on within the Canyons near Meridian city, Travas continued to fight against Adrian with all that he's got. So far, however, things are not going well as Travas' energy reading is beginning to dissipate from the amount he's used against the demon. Adrian on the other hand, is grinning evilly with each attack he makes upon Travas as they cause a great amount of damage he's taken.

"Well now… I can tell that your body is close to its own breaking point. It doesn't surprise me that much… however it surprises me that you're still trying to keep on going. How stubborn vampires are these days, I may never know. After all, they are an abomination and a plague that had been laid upon Nosgoth and nothing more", Adrian said coldly as he began to power up a massive amount of energy in his left hand-paw.

"Damnit all…! He's a kenal of a lot stronger than I thought. If I don't do something about this, I'm gonna end up dead by the hands of this nine-tailed fucker", Travas thought within his own mind. "I have to think of something quickly or I'm done for", he thought once more as he breathing heavily.

While Travas continues to breathe heavily from the damage he took from the kitsune, Adrian continues to power up his attack while taking a few steps toward his direction. Because of the demons actions, Travas began to think that it was the end of the road for him for the second time since his murder on Alopex about five weeks prior to this battle.

"Well, Travas, it looks like it's the end of the road for you. It was fun fighting you… while it lasted, but now you're beginning to bore the shit out of me. Now then, it's time that I disposed of you at this time upon where you stand", Adrian replied as he fired his fire blast upon Travas. However, before the impact happened, Travas felt a sharp pain inside his head once more.

"Damnit… why does these things happen to me at times like this?!" Travas thought in his mind as the vision begins to play within his head.

*Vision*

Inside the bathroom mirror within the Girl's Locker room of the Solarfox Strikeforce Academy, a fifteen year old vixen named Erica was washing her face after a lot of events had occurred upon her. This process had taken about a minute before she wipes her face off with a towel hanging on her right side. The only thing she did was hold onto the sink with her arms spread out and stares down at its emptiness, wondering what was going on with herself.

"I don't understand… what is going on and why am I having dreams about them", Erica asked herself, showing signs that she's scared and worried.

*Vision Pause*

"Dreams…?" Travas asked in his mind as the fiery attack comes upon him. Before the attack struck him, he managed to place his paws in front of him as the moment of impact struck upon him. "I have to try and deflect this out of the way… so no more innocent lives will be killed", he continued to think in his mind as he struggled to block the upcoming attack.

"Surviving til the very end, I see. You can try as much as you like, but soon enough, the fire will engulf your entire body as you shall become nothing more than a pile of ashes destined to be blown away by Nosgoth's vast winds", Adrian laughed as Travas continued to block the attack as long as he could. But slowly, the fire began to consume his hands, burning off the motorcycle gloves he had. At the same time, however, Travas has managed to push back the attack a little. And yet, the fiery attack continues to engulf him as he pushes it back, creating a back and forth motion as a result of Travas' struggle.

"I have to keep going… otherwise the people of Meridian and perhaps all of Nosgoth will die by this nine-tailed demon. I won't quit… I WON'T GIVE UP!" Travas thought loudly to himself as he continued to push the attack into a different direction. And with a leap of hope, he managed to push the attack into the sky as it exploded before their eyes, ensuring the safety of Nosgoth's people beyond the Canyons.

"What…?! He managed to deflect my attack without being engulfed into the flames?" Adrian thought to himself while his eyes were in somewhat shock, but shortly after, he smirked and narrowed his eyes upon Travas. "But nevertheless, I'll find something with a bit more of a punch than this one", he continued as Travas looked upon his own paws, shocked to see that they hardly suffered any physical damage whatsoever.

"Holy shit… I never expected to have my hand-paws to remain intact", Travas thought within his mind, surprised to see his paws almost undamaged. But he still felt the burns upon the blast struck upon his hand-paws. "Looks like I'm gonna have to find another way to stop him…and fast", he continued to think within his mind, looking upon Adrian closely.

While Adrian was smirking to himself, he began to fly higher within the air and power up energy within his paws. Soon enough, the energy began to form around his hand-paws and prepared to strike upon the vulpin once more. As for Travas, he prepared for the worst to come while eying the kitsune closely and cautiously.

"As I have said before, it's a surprise that you've made it this far, but the sand within your hourglass has run its course. Now then, it's time to die, Travas!" Adrian yelled as he began to fire multiple shots upon Travas, causing him to dodge them as much as he possibly could. But the more Travas dodged them, the more fire blasts were fired upon him by the raging demon kitsune above.

"Fuck… it's like Adrian's gone completely nuclear. I have to keep dodging as many of these as I can until he tires down", Travas thought in his mind as he continued to dodge Adrian's attacks as much as possible. But shortly after, Travas feels that same sharp pain within his head again, knowing well that another vision is under way. "Damnit… Not again…!" he thought within his mind once more as the vision began to play before his eyes.

*Vision Continuation*

Back inside the restroom, Erica clenched her fists while they lay upon the sink as she is at the point of breaking down into tears.

"Why are these things happening to me? It doesn't make any sense" Erica said to herself as she shut her eyes and a few drops of tears stream down her face and land upon her paws. But then, she heard someone close by laughing to herself, sounding identical at the same time.

"It actually makes complete sense if you look within the mirror…" the voice said while she laughed upon Erica saddened state. Erica then shot up upon the mirror and noticed herself. But unlike her physical self, her reflection contains an evil looking grin, blood red eyes with green slit irises, slightly sharper fangs, claws, and black markings going down from her eyes to her cheeks."…and see for yourself", she continued while laughing hysterically, causing Erica to drop to her ass and crawl away from her reflection.

*Vision Pause*

"Huh…!" Travas yelled to himself as Adrian's fiery wrath strikes upon him like wildfire. Soon enough, Travas had crashed upon the ground as the demon continued to strike upon him endlessly, making him scream out in pain. In the skies above, Adrian continues firing his fire blasts upon his opponent as he began to laugh hysterically upon Travas' cries of pain, unaware that the vulpin has had a vision play in his mind.

"There's no chance of escape for you now, Travas for the spider has caught the fly upon his own web", Adrian yelled as he continued his reign of fiery terror and laughing hysterically. Travas continued to struggle to get back on his own feet, but his efforts so far have been flawed as he kept crashing onto the ground.

*Upon the road to Meridian*

With the battle intensifying at a massive level, Vorador and Umah continue to make haste towards the Canyons near Meridian City. However, Umah began to notice something wrong as she quickly moved to Vorador's side.

"Vorador, I can sense that Travas' energy levels are dropping faster than I had anticipated! We must get to him at once before he gets killed by this demon", Umah said urgently as they made their way to the Canyons near Meridian.

"I agree… but we must hurry at once before something tragic comes upon him", Vorador replied as they continued to make their way towards the Canyons near Meridian.

*The Canyons near Meridian*

The battle continued to rage on as Travas was being attacked by the demon's raging fire blasts, putting him down upon the mercy of Adrian. But within a few seconds, Travas managed to break free from the demon's ravenous rampage, though covered in blood on some areas of his body. Shortly afterwards, Adrian flew to Travas' direction and began punching him with his fiery fists mercilessly and swiftly.

"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! Your body is covered in your own blood and is about to give up on you as well. As I've said to the people of Meridian in the past, your efforts will be in vain as I plunge you into the depths of hell in which you will suffer for all of eternity", Adrian yelled as he continued on punching Travas mercilessly and swiftly. Soon enough, the demon finds a rhythm suitable for his ambitions of killing his opponent.

"Damnit… he's too fast for me to do anything to stop him. What am I going to do" Travas wondered in his mind as he was being beaten mercilessly from Adrian's wrath. But just like earlier, he felt that same sharp pain in his head. And yet again, the same vision concerning Erica and her "Other" side from earlier comes into play.

*Vision Continuation*

As Erica saw her "Other" self in the mirror, she began to run out of the bathroom in the Girl's Gym and into the hallways. But just like before, she can see her "Other" self within the reflections of the windows she passes by. Soon enough, she was within both Scarlet's and her dorm, making her way to their bathroom and locking the door.

"I don't understand… what is going on and who the kenal was she anyways", Erica wondered in her mind as she was slightly sweating from fear from her "Other" self and running from the gym into the dorms. But suddenly, she heard some hysterical laughing coming from inside the dorm bathroom.

"It's quite simple really… I'm a demon that lies within your own body, but you could just call me your 'Other' side, if you must", the "Other" Erica said as she gave her a slight chuckle. "As for what's going on… well, I'm just here to torment you just for the thrill of it" she continued as Erica got up to her feet, still frightened of what she's seeing in the mirror.

"Why are you doing this to me…? I don't understand", Erica asked her "Other" side as her own eyes slightly began to water while she began clenching her fists.

"As I said, I'm here to torment you for the thrill of it. At the same time, your suffering is the source that makes me stronger. And soon enough, I will awaken from you once again just like I have when your body was unconscious from all of those violent encounters you have been in during your teenage lifetime so far. And soon… you will know what it means to have sheer pleasure in killing your victims as you watch them suffer in the palms of your paws… just like I did when I had control over of your body", the 'Other' Erica said as she began to laugh hysterically and loudly upon Erica. At the same time, Erica began to succumb to pure rage as she bursts into angered tears.

"URGH… SHUT UP!" Erica screamed as she slams her fists into the bathroom mirror, shattering it while some of the broken glass struck upon Erica's forearms, causing them to bleed badly. While Erica growls in pain, her 'Other' side began to laugh hysterically for about ten brief seconds before fading from what was left of the mirror the vixen had suddenly shattered. Just outside the dorm, Scarlet catches the sound of shattering glass within her dorm and runs inside to see what happened. Inside she could hear the painful cries of her sister within the bathroom.

"Erica!" Scarlet yelled as she broke down the door by striking it with her feet-paws in a mid-air kick. She then gasps in horrifying shock as she saw her sister's forearms bleeding from the shattered mirror. "Oh maker…! Erica, what happened to your arms?!" she asked in a horrified tone. The only response she was able to get from Erica was merely uncontrolled sobbing. But all of the sudden, Travas was once again shot back into reality.

*Vision End*

"Erica's 'Other' side… Why is this stuff happening to my youngest sister? I don't understand…" Travas asked himself in his thoughts as he's being beaten brutally by Adrian's fists.

"There's no chance of escape for you now, Travas! Your days are near its end", Adrian yelled while brutally punching Travas with his rage-filled fists.

"AAARRRGGGHHHHH…!" Travas screamed loudly while his cries of pain simply echo among Nosgoth's horizon. "I have to find a way to stop this… but I'm powerless to do anything about it at all", he thought within his mind while being brutally beaten by Adrian's fiery fists and energy blasts.

"This is absolutely exciting… my enemy's cries of pain are merely the tip of the iceberg. C'mon, Travas, I want to hear your cries of agony as you suffer from my wrath", Adrian thought within his mind as he grinned evilly from every attack he lays upon his opponent.

The battle continued to rage on as Travas continues to be beaten mercilessly by Adrian himself. After the vulpin shut his eyes, the only thing that comes into Travas' mind is his fond memories of his family, helpless to do anything about the brutal attacks he is suffering from.

"Scarlet… I wish I could be there to watch you grow up and become successful like I wanted you to be… but I can't since I died on Alopex and been resurrected as a living vampire", Travas thought within his mind as memories of Scarlet appear before his eyes. "Mom… Dad… I hope you guys are doing well without me… and found a way to cope over what happened to me at the Academy… and I hope you guys could find a way to get rid of Scarlet's hatred for felins", he continued as memories of his parents appear in his mind. But the one thing that saddened Travas and nearly caused him to burst into tears was the memories of his youngest sister, Erica. "Erica… I'm sorry… I'm so sorry… that I cannot be there to comfort you in times of need… I wish I could be there for you when those events happen in the future", he continued, feeling guilty and sorrow as one of Adrian's final punches pinned him to the canyon wall.

"How pathetic… I was expecting more of a challenge from you", Adrian said as Travas looked down and began breathing heavily, bloodied, bruised, and his shirt torn into shreds. "But no matter, it's not like you would have survived anyways. And how ironic, you said that you wanted me to try and bring you down, thinking you're stronger than me. But in the end, you proved to be no challenge at all, nor have you proven to be stronger than I have become", he continued as the kitsune demon began to chuckle upon Travas' failure to defeat him.

Upon this moment, the demon summons up a massive amount of fiery energy within his fist and begins to throw it upon Travas' weakened body. But before the moment of impact, Travas catches the punch effortlessly as his body begins to smoke up once again. And just like his match with Zepherus on Alopex, his body was engulfed in the same red-purple like flame of energy. Thus Adrian became shocked upon levels he had never experienced before as he looked upon Travas' now pupil-less eyes.

"What… what the hell is going on? He's supposed to be out of energy already…! But I don't understand… where the hell is he getting this kind of power", Adrian wondered within his mind, showing nothing but shock as he looked upon Travas' newfound power. The only thing Travas was able to do in response was growl upon Adrian's shocked state. Travas then begins powering up once more as he began to strike upon the demon fiercely, causing severe damage to him with each attack.

*On the road to the Canyons near Meridian*

As both Vorador and Umah continued their way to the Canyons where Travas and the demon were fighting, Umah suddenly felt a massive shockwave of energy within her senses. Vorador caught this and began to get closer to Umah and begin talking to her about it.

"It's about Travas' sudden increase of his energy, isn't it?" Vorador asked. "I can feel it just as well as you can", he continued while Umah looked upon him.

"Yes, and this kind of energy I've never felt before until the moment it happened. Nor have I felt so much of it summoned within a short period of time", Umah replied while slightly shaking her head. "And this is beginning to concern me deeply about this", she continued.

"I can relate with you upon this situation… which is why we need to make haste to the Canyons at once before Travas dies. If that happens, then our hopes of salvation will die with him", Vorador said as they continued to make their way towards the Canyons near Meridian. "Travas, all I can hope is that you survive just long enough for us to get there… for you are our last hope", he thought within his mind while he and Umah made haste towards the Canyons at once.

*The Canyons near Meridian*

With the Canyons of Nosgoth, Travas continues his merciless rampage upon Adrian as he continues to strike him fiercely. With each attack Travas made upon the Sun Demon, he's managed to cause a substantial amount of damage on his body. Though Adrian tried his best to stop Travas' raging attacks, his efforts were in vein as his opponent dodged them effortlessly due to his heightened speed.

"Damnit it all… it's like his speed has increased dramatically from the sudden burst of energy he's summoned. What the hell has this vampire become", Adrian calmly, yet shockingly and angrily thought within his mind as he continued to suffer from taking a substantial amount of damage. "I'm going to have to do something fast about this before I lay dead by the hands of this young fool", he continued thinking within his mind as he looked around the Canyons for ideas for a counter attack. But suddenly he found a suitable location within the sky near a higher Canyon cliff upon his left side and smirked.

"Excellent, it looks as if I found a possible escape upon this hellish tortures I currently face this by my opponent's attacks. All I have to do is create a blinding distraction suitable enough for me to rid myself of these tortures I currently face", the kitsune thought to himself as he grinned upon his opportunity of escape. He powers up a fire blast attack as he teleports from a certain distance from Travas and readies himself to attack his opponent. "I'm afraid that I'm going to have to cut our fight short, Travas. It's been fun, but the tides have changed upon me… and recently upon you…! Now take this and DIE", he screamed as he fired his fire blast upon Travas' face, blinding him long enough to attempt his escape. However, his efforts were in vain as Travas teleported from behind and used his arms to lock his opponent's shoulders in place.

"What the hell is going on…? WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BECOME", the kitsune screamed ragingly upon his opponent as he attempted to strike him fiercely, but Travas simply blocked the attack using his right paw.

"I guess you could say that I'm your worst fucking nightmare", Travas answered coldly upon the demon. "But in the worst case scenario, you are not going to be alive for much longer", he continued while placing his paw upon his neck. But before Travas was able to snap his neck, Adrian attacked him with all he had just to escape once more to create distance between them.

"I'm running out of energy faster than I had anticipated. I didn't want to use this move so soon, but looks like I may not have a choice", Adrian thought within his mind as he began to power up energy from his hands and places them together upward. "Travas, you're not going to get out of this alive. I will kill you where you stand even if it means killing me in the process…" he continued as he manages to finalize his ultimate attack. "NOW DIE!" he screamed as he used his ultimate fire blast attack upon Travas.

The impact upon which the attack has made had been substantially extreme. Though Adrian continued his powerful attack, he began to feel the first ounce of fear as he saw Travas phase right through it as he came upon him with vengeful, pupil-less eyes.

"It looks like your time has run out, you bastard!" Travas screamed as he began to power up his own energy while it engulfed his arm in a fire-like attack. "Feel the power of my FURY!" he screamed once more as he used his attack to plow his arm right through Adrian's chest and onto another part of the canyons. The demon lied there choking to death on his own blood as Travas walked upon him with a satisfied smirk upon his face.

"It looks like I've defeated you in battle. But before you die, I must ask you this… why did you attack the people of Coorhagen and Meridian", Travas calmly asked as he licked his lips, eager to drink the blood of the demon he's about to kill.

"Revenge… revenge upon the Sarafan as well as the vampire race…" Adrian answered as he coughed up some blood. "However… I never expected… to be killed by a creature such as you", as he choked upon his own blood and gave Travas the finger.

"Revenge… for what", Travas asked in an angered, yet calm tone.

"For the near annihilation of my once fine kitsune race, caused by both the Sarafan and your wretched vampire race. The Sarafan… had captured most of my race… and executed them by reason of them… killing off a vast amount of the population… of their beloved human and anthro inhabitants. The vampires began killing some of my race off merely to meet their blood thirsty supply, though many… have claimed the reason to be merely due… to siding with their Hylden adversaries. But mark my words… the Hylden race will one day rise up once more and when they do… they will claim all of Nosgoth as their own and the annihilation of all of Nosgoth's people shall continue as it once has before Kain's victory over the Sarafan Lord", he claimed as he began to hoarsely, yet hysterically laugh upon his own words and cough some blood in the process.

"I see, but at least I know that Nosgoth's people are safe from threats from such demons like you. Now, it's time that you've died by my own hand-paws", Travas replied as he used his claws to slit the demons throat and drink his blood to finish off his life.

Once Travas finished, the demon's body turned into nothing but ashes as the wind blew them away into the horizon. But suddenly, he felt a shockwave among his body as he was forcefully pushed back upon the canyons by a surge of power within him. His body was suddenly covered by an electrical surge of energy as his arms were raised and legs were spread somewhat from each other.

After the sudden surge of power abated, he ripped off his destroyed sleeveless shirt and tank top as he made his path towards the motorcycle parked not far from his location. The vulpin had also reverted back to his normal, vampuric self, making his emerald green pupils return to his eyes once more. However, his eyesight began to become dazed and slightly blurry as the vulpin made his way towards the motorcycle nearby. Once he got to the motorcycle, Travas put on his leather jacket w/ denim vest over his dry, bloodstained torso.

Though he managed to get on the motorcycle and began to drive, Travas' sight became more blurry as he was about to crash into a nearby canyon. In response, he placed his foot upon the brakes quickly in hopes of finding a way to stop the motorcycle from crashing instantly. Although he was lucky to avoid the crash from happening, he began to lose consciousness from the energy he's lost during the match.

"This isn't good. I must've used… too much energy trying to defeat Adrian. And finally… it's beginning to take its toll on me", Travas thought to himself as he finally began to lose consciousness. But suddenly, the canyon cliff nearby the vulpin's stopping point began to crumble and thus caused him and the motorcycle to fall into the dark depths of the Canyons. But before the impact had occurred, another winged being had grabbed Travas' falling unconscious body and used its telekinetic powers to stop the motorcycle from being destroyed by the crash that would have originally occurred.

*Close by the Canyons near Meridian*

Shortly after Travas' fall into the canyon depths, Umah and Vorador arrived to what was some time ago a battlefield where he and the demon had fought. Upon their arrival, they had discovered that Travas was nowhere to be found, despite the faint motorcycle tracks they had uncovered.

"Why can't I sense Travas' energy anymore? Had something drastic happened to him or was he killed along with whatever secrets he may have had", Vorador asked while trying to locate Travas.

"I don't know, Vorador… but we must find him at once before other dark forces find him", Umah replied while she also tried to find Travas' energy signal… but nothing could be found other than the faint motorcycle tracks.

"We must find the other vampires and meet back at the Citadel at once. From there, we will conduct a search team around Meridian and possibly all of Nosgoth to find Travas. All we can hope is that he had survived", Vorador said as Umah nodded in response and made their way to the Citadel in hopes of organizing a search team needed. All they can hope is that Travas may have survived the match; otherwise his secrets may die along with whatever hopes the Vampire Resistance may have had upon him.
