The young dragon assulted the hideous beast with barrages of icy shards
aiming for all of its soft weak spots.
"Son of a b-"
Tatsu!! Stun him mentally and make yourself a barrier! Quickly!
Do it! NOW!
I can't, it'll wipe me out!
Do it or DIE!! Your death is mine dragon! Do it!
Tatsu threw out a powerful surge of energy, trying to keep
enough to make the barrier Fayne spoke of.
Suddenly Fayne unlocked his mind to Tatsu and he saw what he was
planning.
YOU CRAZY BASTARD!
Fayne laughed, Get your barrier up, dragon!
Tatsu cast the spell for the barrier and it shone into place.
Tatsu was breathing heavily, the magic wearing him out.
Fayne glanced over to see Tatsu trimbling, 'Just a bit longer.' he
thought.
Fayne was balancing large orbs of flames in both of his palms.
A deadly twinkling danced in his eyes as he launched into his firy
attack.
He took off running towards his target, letting it ease into a levitation
spell, and hovered just in front of the ugly lower demon.
Fayne grinned at the stunned thingand bending over to its ear he whispered,
"You hurt Tatsu...you shouldn't have touched him..."
His right hand became a tight fist, shrinking the ball of flames evenly
into each of his fingertips, and striking the huge beast in its rib cage
and through it, shattering all bones and the fleshy tendons wrapped
around them.
Then, wrenching his fingers open, he drew the orb back to size and
set it loose inside of its chest, melting all organs and whatever else his bodily his bodily makeup consisted of.
"because now I have no mercy...."
Fayne felt Tatsu's power draining quickly now...
'FUCK! Damn your amulet Tatsu...There's gotta be a way around it!'
Fayne tried releasing his full power, he was blocked.
A memory of a one sided arguement between him and Tatsu came suddenly rushing back to him:
"Your intentions
must be true," said
the perfectly sirene
dragon. "You let
hatred and anger
bar your way, it's not the amulet,
it doesn't
hold the poweryou think.
It's your
hate....your anger.
You must relieve
yourself of that."
The sun had hit
Tatsu's eyes marvelously
and he was beautiful
with his softly
gleaminig eyes
and his placid
expression.
Fayne's scowl
deepened, "I don't
understand...."
Tatsu had smiled
at him.
"It's fine, you'll
understand it
perfectly when
you truely need it,
let's eat, huh?"
Fayne's eyes widened feeling his power grow, ingulfing him and everything in its perimeter.
Tatsu let out a sharp howl, screaming in pain as he fell to his knees, shaking madly, fighting to keep his barrier up.
"Tatsuuuuuu!!!"
roared Fayne in responce to the dragon's screams.
His darkness concentrated around his left fist and the fire in it. Fayne's pulse raced, anger boiling but focused, he tapped into Tatsu's weakening power to draw upon wind, and absorbed the link into his right hand so he could sever the ties of his power and the dragon's, as not to kill Tatsu.
Fayne laced his bloodied right hand behind his left, adding to the size of his powerful orb and starting the dark "evil" that was his true power swirling around the fire in a crazy dance of royal purple and a smoldering black, adding to the deep oranges and brilliant reds.
His eyes gleamed crimson silver before slamming it down in the being's face.
He never saw it coming.
Tatsu's sheild gave way just as the sorry bastard exploded.
Fayne raced over to Tatsu, landing softly on the ground before him and pulling the dragon up off his knees. He crushed the now unconscious Tatsu close to his firm body, walking slowly and steadily as the alien explosions and chemical reactions took place behind him.
Any other time he would have stayed and admired his work; seeing blood boil to then become vapor was a lovely sight indeed, but not this time.
Tatsu was injured and needed him.
The only sorry ass that had managed to come out alive in a fight with him.
He looked down at the lithe figure in his arms,
'...and I hate you for it somehow...
even if it is just a little bit.'
