| 2:30 AM. They all gather at the bottom of the cliff, grouping together getting ready to face probably all hell. "They know we're here," Berkana states. "But only low levels are approaching. A few vampires, and some other demons. Nothing to worry about. Don't use your powers for them conserve your energy for the mages. Let's go." The first attack the mages launched was quite unsuccessful as all the vampires burst into ashes when Matt and Christina's flaming weapons come into contact with them. Mike threw one punch at the first demon and he flew back at such a great speed, he took down every demon behind him, all falling like a row of demons falling upon their own weapons. Suddenly, Skye and Ivy appeared outside. Christina and Matt readied themselves for battle and the rest went on ahead into the caverns. "We've been waiting for this for some time now. Finally we get to kill you!" Skye said as Ivy stared down at Cristina. They both released a maniacal laugh and Skye took flight into the air. Matt followed him. Ivy smiled and raised her arms, many vines came from the ground and tried to restrain Christina, but she dodged all of them shredding them with her staff. She then lunged at Ivy thrusting the staff right into her chest, causing her to fall back into the ground. She scurried to her feet and retalliated with a few punches and raised her right arm as if to hit her once again, but instead a great vine entangled Christina. She could not move a single muscle. Ivy crept closer and closer. She reached out for her face, then gave her a powerful right cross. Any harder and Christina's neck would have broken. She seemed quite helpless, since she had dropped her staff the first time Ivy hit her. Ive summoned another vine that formed itself into a whip with several large and sharp thorns. She lashed her captive once, and she let out a horrible painful scream. She did it once again. Christina just healed herself automatically, though it was painful, she was able to heal quickly. But she still could not free herself from this prison. ***** Matt and Skye took off to the top of the cliff. Skye started the attack sending a powerful burst of wind directly towards Matt, slowing him down just enough to rush at him with a few melee attacks. This attack cut him on the lip, letting out a couple drops of blood. He dodged the last hit and turned around sending quick blow after blow directly to Skye's face. He was way too fast for Skye to see, let alone block his attacks. Skye then created a few small tornadoes attempting to catch Matt and immobilize him. No good. Matt ran up behind him grabbed him by the shoulders and threw him up into the air. He picked up his sword and rushed it right through Skye's chest as he fell to the ground. Skye gasped with a great painful expression on his face. He was defeated. He fell to the ground with the flaming sowrd still in his chest. He then disappeared into the wind. Matt then quicly ran to Christina's aid. He threw down his sword, cutting her free from the vines entangling her. Ran up behind Ivy and knocked her off her feet. |
| Once she freed herself, she took up her staff and hit Ivy right across the face with is. It singed her hair and gave her a slight burn on her cheek. Next attack went so hard across her face that it snapped her neck. She fell to the ground, Christina picked up Matt's sword and ran it through her back. "Just making sure," she stated. Just then, they saw a dark figure run right passed them. In the corner of her eye, Christina noticed a figure dressed in a black hooded robe, covering his face, but she felt the darkness...the evil that emanated from him. All she felt was nothing...a body that stood there with no soul...No aura...It was neither living, nor dead...It was no demon...no vampire...She turned to it...Disappeared. ***** Tom and Angelus encountered a few more powerful demons inside but none that they would have trouble with. Finally, Shock arrived...but before revealling himself, he threw down a bolt of electricity, shocking Tom. Tom threw a couple of energy balls towards him, but he dodged them both...he didn't realize there was a third...Tom rushing right towards him. The sword began to smoke, and it froze anything it came into contact with. Shock quickly transformed into energy, allowing the sword to just go right through him. Just then Aqua appeared entombing Angelus in a pool of water attempting to drown him. Angelus just launched his own energyball exploding as it hit Aqua. "You're dumb...Vampires don't breathe." He sent a couple more energyballs exploding with every contact. The last blew up directly on her head, knocking her out. Shock rematerialized but the sword came once again, and again he phased out. But this time, as he was phased out Tom created an energyball and placed it into the phased out body of Shock. Not knowing it, he rematerialed and destroyed himeslf. Again the dark figure emerged in the shadows. Angelus knew just as Christina did that it was a strange unknown being. As he was about to rush towards the dark figure, Aqua disappeared into a puddle of water. She was still alive... They both ran outside to join Christina and Matt in their victory and awaited for news of the rest of their friends. They all gave accounts of what had happened to each other, stressing the importance and the strangeness of the unknown creature. The dark creature with no soul, no aura. no humanity...just a dark and empty void. They all new that it meant something...they just weren't sure what exactly it meant. Would it soon be over? Or was this just the prelude to some larger adventure? Would they all survive this battle? I the unknown creature would just wait and see. I'll observe...I'll wait...I'll find answers...I would not intervene...Just hint...But I do know this...by the end of this battle...one of the Mystics will perish...How will this loss affect them? Could they survive without this member... |
