Akiana "Well, I have great respect for beings such as angels, I apologize if I upset you."

Terian leans slightly on his staff as he heads towards the stands. His staff clicks on the stairs as he climbs them, he turns back after finding a seat, his golden eyes flashing as memories of the place entered his mind.

Ezekiel shakes his head. "I do not deserve your respect. I am not the angel you think I am, we are not all good."

Akiana became a bit scared after Ezekiel's comment.

Terian hears Ezekiel's words, smiling slightly as the memory of another 'Angel' comes into his thoughts.

Akiana "Ar-Are you good?" She was scared to know to the answer to that

Ezekiel shakes his head again. "Some of us are just like humans with wings. I'm not like the guy who goes out and saves everyone I can, I'm just trying to live my life. I have done some good, and some bad, but I try to be nice." he's so modest it's sickening.

Akiana nodded, "Ok then."

Terian listens to the two with some interest, nodding politely to flash as he enters. He looks up at the moon in silence.

Flash_Guardian strides towards the arena casually ... indeed it is one of his favorite places to visit, especially when he finds a respectable combatant to test himself against. He stretches his arms as he goes, trying to loosen himself up as he walks through one of the entrances into the stands above the central pit, looking down on the action below with curiousity.

Ezekiel raises a brow. "I am a warrior of god, sometimes I am required to kill, even though I do not wish to."

Akiana nodded again, "That's good enough for me." She blinked again and her eyesight was working perfectly. "Oh...."

Akiana blushed

Ezekiel stares at her. "Um, are you okay?" he doesn't understand why she's suddenly nervous. "Why are you blushing."

Flash_Guardian notices as one of the men below nods at him, his brow furrowing in unfamiliarity.

Akiana "My eyesight is now perfect and I can see you clearly now.....You....." She was a bit embarassed to say this, "You are a beautiful angel......You're just what I thought an angel would be, well, not exactly, but you fit the image"

Terian looks back at the Arena, his golden eyes flashing as if he is waiting for something, or someone. His staff rests in his left hand like an old friend, the diamond glowing ominously.

Ezekiel smiles slightly, not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing. "Um, thankyou? you to are beautiful, not just your name." he smiles and looks to the sky. "well, I must be going." he leans foward and whispers into her ear.

Flash_Guardian continues through the stands, walking to a rear, unoccupied corner of the arena where he will have room to do the remainder of his stretches. Shaking himself out, he quickly spreads his legs and puts his hands to the ground, his muscles eagerly loosening in preparation for a fight.

Akiana quirked a brow

Ezekiel kisses her cheek gently and jumps into the air, flying away quickly.

Akiana 's eyes widened and her mouth fell open. When he flew away, she touched the spot where he kissed her....

Akiana looked around and blushed a bit. She turned and walked out the door.

Flash_Guardian arches his back to one side, his arm over his head, chuckling to himself. "Methinks those two were in the wrong room," he comments to no one in particular, arching his back in the opposite direction.

Terian smiles at Flash's comment."Aye, that they were," he replies quietly.

Flash_Guardian stands and kicks his leg up, holding his knee to his chest with both arms and looking at the other man curiously. "Sorry ... have we met?"

Terian shakes his head,"nay, we have never met, however . . . we have both been around a long time it seems."

Flash_Guardian comes quickly out of his stretch to shoot a perplexed look at Terian, still halfway in the splits. "Speak for yourself, I've only been here for a few weeks now ..." A thought crosses his face. "Unless you mean ..." He looks at Terian suspiciously.

Terian smiles slightly,"you know of what I speak. I can tell you are not like the rest of those here. You are far older than you seem."

Flash_Guardian is startled, his suspicion increasing. "I suppose the same is true for you ... elven as you are," he comments, standing and slowly walking towards Terian to get a better look at him.

Terian looks down at the Arena,"few Elves have seen the years I have seen. I am blessed by my god, as you are."

Flash_Guardian approaches Terian, stopping a few feet away and looking him over. The ring on his right hand draws his attention for a moment, following which he seems completely unsure how to react to Terian. "I see. So you are a godservant as well. I should have known. Then whom is it that you serve, exactly?"

Terian looks up at the man above him,"I server the God of Magic, in Elven his name is Sonice. Not the God of any specific magic, but all magics, some call him the God of Chaos."

Flash_Guardian politely tries and fails to hide his concern, tensing up slightly. "I hope Sonice's title of Chaos is just a title ...?" he questions, not wanting to pre-judge.

Terian laughs, a warm sound."Chaos, not what you are thinking. There is magic yes? Elemental, spiritual, everything. These different magics spring from one substance which is called Chaos. From Chaos all things can be made, it is not that I am a Chaotic person, it is only a sort of well that I draw my power from. It is because Chaos has no pattern, which allows it to be formed into anything I wish, that ives it its' name."

Flash_Guardian breathes a sigh of relief, seeming to relax at last. "I'm glad to hear it ... I'm already having some trouble with another agent of chaos in this realm ... I'd hate to have to deal with two." He looks at the man, an inquisitive look on his face, a subtle smile lurking at the corner of his lips and a sparkle in his eyes. "Now I'm afraid I must apologize."

Terian looks back down at the Arena,"do not worry, you won't have to deal with me. None have ever dealt with me and lived, however, all of their deaths were a blessing to those who serve the God's of Light. I have been a blight to many sorcerers, but the great wars of old have passed. I am simply another mage who wishes to find peace. And you good sir, what have you to apologize for?"

Flash_Guardian clearly reveals his grin ... a friendly grin of curiousity. "For this," he says casually, tilting his head to one side. Mere moments later, he whirls on the spot, springing out of his spin with a whirling backfist aimed (poorly) at Terian's head and landing deftly in a fighting stance just in front of him.

Terian tilts his head in a bare movement, the fist passing harmlessly by. "Have you quite finished yet?"

Flash_Guardian doesn't bother with Terian's response, continuing in his momentum, launcing a side kick at Terian's gut, then revolving in midair to send a kick at him with his other leg in an almost dancing maneuver, following it with a solid punch to the shoulder as he lands again.

Terian swings his staff in front of him where it would most likely connect with the kick aimed for his stomach. If that hit lands Flash would be thrown a little of balance to say the least in which he would be able to duck under the second kick, then attempting to block the punch to the shoulder with his free right hand.

Flash_Guardian rebounds from the block, rolling backwards over the ground and quickly springing up to his feet some distance away. Upon standing, he claps his hands together loudly; the impact creates a bright flash of white light. He slowly separates his palms as the same light encircles his hands, curling his fingers around the gathering energy before steadying his hands. "Flash Bolt!" he calls, punching five times in rapid succession. Each punch ends in a loud Crack! and a burst of energy, sending five globes of concussive energy toward Terian. (Nonlethal.)

Terian sighs in slight annoyance as he stands, his staff glows with a white light much like Flash's attack. zFrom his staff comes one wall of concussive energy of equal magnititude as the five globes, but of opposite energy. The wall is large enough to encompass all five globes, as they meet they would negate each other. He walks quietly down the steps into the Arena itself, leaning slightly on his staff as he moves. He turns to where flash stands.

Flash_Guardian seems to at last relax his pose, smiling in approval. He follows after Terian at a walk, hopping up onto the wall that surrounds the central arena and seating himself upon it, wrapping an arm or two about his knee and letting the other dangle. "Alright. Thank you," he says, adding a respectful nod.

Terian arches a brow,"first you apologize and attack me in the stands of the Arena, which I might add is normally frowned upon. Then thank me just as I finally stand up. You are an odd one to be sure."

Flash_Guardian grins sheepishly. "Heh ... yeah. Sorry to confuse you and all. One of my mentors once told me that you can tell a man by the way he fights. You had me curious is all," he says, shrugging from his seat on the arena wall. "I'm quite satisfied, though. Unless you wanted to continue?" he offers, arching a brow at Terian. ((And I had assumed that Flash was down below. Misunderstandings.))

Terian smiles,"your mentor was wise. And tell me good sir, what have you learned from the way I fight?" ((it happens, especially when you can't really see the other person))

Flash_Guardian lifts his chin, pondering for a moment. "Probably just about as much as I'd learned in conversation with you ... your control over the forces of magic is quite impressive, yet you are also capable of some decent hand to hand, as the staff and sword would seem to indicate. I would almost say that you fight like the typical archmage, preferring to defend yourself magically ... though I wouldn't want to underestimate you in a melee."

Flash_Guardian frowns and corrects himself. "No ... more like stay on the defensive while your magics take the offensive."

Terian smiles,"very perceptive. Hand to hand I am formidable to be sure, but my strength is in my magic. However I normally choose to fight in such a way that expends little energy and creates the least harm to anyone, unless if I must hurt the other person."

Flash_Guardian nods understandingly. "Your defense was a bit passive. I suppose most others would at least have countered with a few attacks of their own. Very noble," he says, smiling appreciatively. "We both have a different outlook on combat, it would seem. I take a bit more pride in my fighting abilities. I do share your respect for not wanting to hurt others, but ... unavoidable sometimes, I guess," he says, shrugging.

Terian smiles,"as I mentioned before, those I have dealt with have never left alive. I have become one of those legends that few know. I once was much like you, fighting often in the Arena, it called to me, I spilled blood many times, some of it mine, usually someone elses. But now, now I fight very little."

Flash_Guardian grins. "Well then ... I shall count myself one of the priveleged few to have heard of the legend himself. Does this legend have a name?" he asks, his face quirking in amusement.

Terian bows gracefully,"I am Terian Starseeker of the Order of the Ivory Fist. And you would be good sir?"

Dante_Sparda *Appears in the arena wearing a red jacket and pants, and a white under shirt. His platinum hair hangs down slightly over his blood red eyes. His father's dragon sword is strapped to his back, and a pair of Desert Eagle .50 cal rest in hip holsters. He glances around the arena, and spots a familar face. Slowly, he walks up to Flash*

Flash_Guardian hops down off the wall, standing with just enough rigidness to appear formal. "Flash, Guardian of Fate and Time, avatar to lord Chen." He bows also, hands held at his sides in the traditional martial arts way. "Was nice meeting you. The Keep needs more avatars with good hearts, in my opinion."

Terian smiles,"aye, that is so. Perhaps we can finish that battle someday, but not this eve."

Flash_Guardian sees the half demon approach him. It takes him only a moment to recognize him, upon which he narrows his eyes slightly. "We meet again." He then turns once more to Terian. "Perhaps ... but only if you wish. You're welcome to have a spar with me on any terms you wish. Either way, perhaps I'll be seeing you around."

Dante_Sparda *Puts his hands up in the air, showing he does not want to fight* I just came here to apologise to you for what I did. I feel really bad about it. I was truly only trying to help, but seeing that no one was going to let me I had to take things into my own hands. I truly am sorry, and to show it you and the other two may stop by my club, Club Hell, at any time for a drink.

MoonWolf would phase into the Arean looking around woundering who he would see and who he would meet..He was feeling the Aura in the air he would softly say "Humm intrasting"..

Flash_Guardian gives Dante a sidelong glance, considering his words a moment before nodding. "I realized somewhat after the fact that your intentions were noble ... your methods were a bit unorthodox, to say the least," he explains, grinning in amusement, "but they certainly got the point across." He chuckles and shakes his head. "Apology accepted, though I wouldn't have required one. And I'll let the two sisters know about your offer."

Dante_Sparda *Laughs* Yeah, I realized that too. Thank you. Though I doubt the sisters will ever want to see me again.

Flash_Guardian shrugs. "What's a few course words and exchanges of blows in the face of eternity?" He looks startled suddenly. "Oh. I guess I should apologize, too. I used some rather harsh language myself back there. Guess I had the wrong impression of you." He grins meekly.

Flash_Guardian glances over at the newcomer ... a wolf. He glances at it curiously, then looks back to Dante for a moment. "Well, I'm still warmed up from that last little bout ..." He quickly springs up off the ground in a forward flip, somersaulting his way to the center of the arena and bouncing once before coming to rest in a martial arts pose. "Any takers?"

Dante_Sparda *Shakes his head* I didn't take anything you said, or what the sisters said personally. You were only trying to defend those that meant something to you, and THAT is noble. Apology accepted. *Smiles* Now that we've got that squared away, I think I'm going to go have a drink.

Flash_Guardian nods at Dante appreciatively. "See you around, then."

MoonWolf would look at the person in Martial arts stance.."Think you could take me on"?

Dante_Sparda *Nods in return* Yes I will. *Disappears*

Flash_Guardian lets a cocky smirk spread over his mouth. "Try me," he says, lifting his front hand and beckoning the wolf to approach him.

MoonWolf would smile then starts to head toward the man saying "Come and get me then"

Flash_Guardian nods once, grunting in approval, then springs into motion. He runs forward at MoonWolf, quickly picking up speed until moving at a superhuman rate ... about eight feet or so away from the wolf, he leaps up slightly, kicking a leg forward as he lands on the ground on his side, using his momentum to slide across the ground, arms held up defensively, foot aimed up at whatever it can connect with.

MoonWolf would grinn then laugh..he would phase through Flash then as he was behind Flash He would quickly go to bite his back of his neck very fast...

Flash_Guardian is surprised as the form of the wolf phases out of being, but does not cease his attack. He is about to spring up to his feet when he feels the wolf's jaws clamp onto his shirt and cape, the weight of the wolf pulling him roughly back down onto his back. "Umph!" Reacting quickly, Flash reaches back with his arms to grab the wolf around the back of the neck and pull, swinging his legs upward and over his head in an attempt to land a clumsy blow on the wolf's head.

MoonWolf would phase through his hand's and then come from under the ground atteapting to bite his legs hard and fast...

Flash_Guardian is released from the wolf's bite as it phases out again, quickly turning his backward roll into a backward flip ... and then the wolf seems to spring up from out of the ground, quickly latching onto Flash's leather split-toed boot whilst he is still in midair. "Yah!" he cries out, kicking forward with the foot that has MoonWolf's teeth on it, attempting to throw the wolf off and ruin its landing. Meanwhile, he quickly lands on his other foot, waiting to see the results of his flailing leg.

MoonWolf would be kicked in the head his phaseing seemed to fail this time for some odd reason..He would quickly open his mouth and shot out a eltic stitic Ball that would parlazi him from head to toe..if hit..Oh yeah its homeing.."Eat this"..

Flash_Guardian tries to shift out of the way of the shot quickly, but the ball corrects its flight nonetheless. Just before the ball strikes him, a flickering barrier field erects itself autonomically, summoned into existance as though it were some automated defense, intercepting the harmful magic. As the ball collides with Maso's shield, it uses its own ample powers to negate the effect of the harmful magic, breaking it down into the otherwordly substances that constitute its elements; shredding and dissipating it harmlessly. The barrier then flickers away, leaving sight and mind. Flash glares at the wolf, rather annoyed. Obviously it would take more than melee tactics to best this beast. He claps his right hand to his chest for a moment, then brushes his face with his fingers and whispers, "Show me." His eyes begin to glow a light blue color. All magic in his field of vision is revealed to his sight.

MoonWolf would vanis into the fin air and start to move so fast that there would be more of himself that was real.."I am One with the MOONs Good sir"he would say and then they all 6 opren up there mouthes and shot the ball once more..he would say "I shall try this once again only with 6 balls this time"..

MoonWolf they would target Flash like befor

Flash_Guardian decides that perhaps it isn't a good thing to test Maso's shield too much. No time to spellcast, he quickly rolls to one side, causing the balls to veer in one direction, then rebounds leaping with superhuman speed and agility in a different direction at just the last moment, causing three of the spheres to miss him completely. The other three are once again intercepted by Maso's magical shielding, each striking a reddish barrier at his shin, knee, and hip before being nullified as before. Flash quickly rolls to a crouch some distance away, training his eyes on the wolf ... his magic sight wasn't detecting anything unusual about the multiple wolf images ... therefore this was more likely some form of physical trick, moving faster than perhaps the eye can percieve. He chuckles to himself, bringing his right fist to his chest. A burst of reddish energy surges forth from Flash's hand, and he traces a circular pattern clockwise in a circle in the air before him. "Haste!" Flash is suddenly moving

[Flash_Guardian] at twice his normal speed, as the rest of the world seems to slow down for him.

MoonWolf would smile as he see's that flash Aura is riseing much higher then befor...He would show him self then says these words "Atncke Neowan Kolap"He woudl transform into a guy that had a half moon on his forhead and hands..he would rance to drow the MoonSword of the Elders it was a very scared and powerfull sword created by the Moon Elders..

Flash_Guardian winces, recoiling with his arm in front of his eyes to shield his eyes from the glaring magic of the wolf's transformation, and the sword he now wielded. Blinking, he seems quite startled. "Now now, let's not get carried away ..." Suddenly he remembers something, quickly turning to look behind him ... but not fast enough. The other three balls from earlier had turned about to strike Flash from behind. Curiously, only two of the balls were stopped by Maso's shield ... the third finds home on his hand, effectively locking Flash in place for a moment. There is a purplish glare for a few seconds somewhere at Flash's front, accompanied by a sound similar to shattering glass as Flash again resumes moving, continuing to look around on alert.

MoonWolf Would look at him and smile saying "Oh Sorry I did get carryed away didnt I"he woudl drop the sword and get into the Moon Martials arts stand moveing his hand in frount of him telling him to bring it on.."Martials Arts shall we"..?

Flash_Guardian shakes his head quickly, having to slightly readjust to his surroundings after being paralyzed. He quickly sees MoonWolf take an offensive stance, and does likewise. "If you wish. I'd be tempted to call it good as it stands. I clocked you over the head once, you tagged me with one of your spells. I'd say that's about even."

MoonWolf nod's and darts forward and does a flying round house kick to his hard sice he is paralzed it would mostly hit his head..

Flash_Guardian crouches low and sidesteps under the kick, launching his left hand upward to try and yank MoonWolf's leg up, possibly causing him to take a hard landing on his back, arm, or head.

MoonWolf since he was in human Moon form he could not phase meaning that he would land on his back very hard "OWCH"he would yell.He would flip upward kicking a tonado type deal kick..

Flash_Guardian wasn't quite ready for that one. He starts to move away, but in the wrong direction, taking the spinning kick to the chest, knocking him backward. "Oomf!" After he regains his footing, he wastes no time, quickly moving forward and leting forth a battle cry; his hands and feet become a rapid blur of attacks as he jabs at MoonWolf with his right fist, following with a left and right hook, then rocks back on his hind foot and snap-kicks with his front one, striking at MoonWolf's shin, stomach, chest, and head. Then, with his little bit of extra speed from the haste, he brings a hand up behind his head. It begins to glow with a subtle white aura. Flash quickly stomps his foot downward at MoonWolf's foot, bringing his glowing white fist downward in a hammmer strike. ((Stunning fist, stuns the opponent for only a moment.))

MoonWolf would try to gaurd that but fails and was knocked down to the ground..His transformation gave out and caused him to transform back...he was now a normal wolf becuase his transformation had given..

MoonWolf most of his powers where gone (C)

MoonWolf would lean up and open his mouth unleaseing a Ultra Sonic attack wave ball at Flash "Here Try this attack"..

Flash_Guardian waits for the stunning effect to wear off, looking slightly concerned at his downed opponent ... then watches as a ball of intense sound hurtles towards him at supersonic speeds ... again Maso's shielding comes up to protect Flash, but something different happens this time. There is an extremely loud clanging sound and a burst of red energy where the spell wave hits Flash, sending him reeling back a couple steps from the impact, but he otherwise seems to be okay. Shaking his head and wincing at the loud noise, he glances back to MoonWolf, half amused and half concerned. "You don't give up easy, do you?" He gets back into a ready stance, waiting for the next assault.

Kumiko would be simply there. Yup- she entered really, but you wouldn't really notice such a normal entrance would you? None of that flashy, mysterious bullshit whatsoever. And- yeah, she came to watch- or maybe fight or something if there's someone who'll come and blah-blah. Anyway, she's there- sitting up front from the seats parted from the Pit. Oh yeah.
