The Dragonic Overlord--End of his Reign (Drago, Wielder of the Sword, Keiji Maeda)

OOC: For the sake of the readers, don't give away the secret, WOTS and Drago. You both know what I'm talking about. (Thread rated PG-13 for intense violence and moderate language) Just for the record, WOTS, let's just say that Blitz and Tokumaru have become allies, even though we haven't started the battle yet, k?

BiC: He didn't like cold days. Hell, if any a day could be worse or colder than this, he hadn't been there to see it, and this man had traveled virtually across the land itself. This man was the Heavenflame Samurai, Tokumaru Kyô. During his adventures across the land, he had met with many powerful foes, such as the war monger, Hanshin Daimyou, and the Elven swordsman, Terrin, and even more powerful than them, the Demon Lord, Naoru Aurashino.

I'm actually glad I opened up that subject, for this tale will circle greatly around how this demon was sealed. You see, it happened about a decade ago, when the young Tokumaru met Drago Universi, the terribly powerful Dragon Overlord. The two swordsmen befriended eachother, and before long, fought side-by-side quite a lot. So much in fact, that Tokumaru decided that he wanted Drago to help him defeat Naoru, the demon who had murdered his mother, and inadvertently given him the power over fire. Drago eagerly accepted, and the two warriors made their way towards the dark aura of Naoru, which resonated from an icy wasteland.

The two warriors fought a gallant battle, and in the end, Naoru was sealed in the very thing that gave him power: The sacred Aliyuras Stone. Drago had been wounded deeply in the battle, so Tokumaru flew him all the way back to Drago's den, where he and Drago's wife scudded to heal his wounds. A few weeks passed, and Drago was feeling good as new. It was then that The Heavenflame Samurai and Dragonic Overlord parted ways, never to meet again for ten years.

And what a meeting it was. The two warriors found themselves face to face in the very wasteland they had killed Naoru, but this time, Drago was different. He didn't share the same aura as the Drago of old, and apparently now had a lust to kill Tokumaru. They fought gravely in their battle, and soon, both of them loathed eachother with all of their passion. Tokumaru, at first anyway, did not want to fight Drago, but knew it was inevitable: One of them had to die there.

At a final standstill, Tokumaru let forth the omnipotent Tenfold-Flames of Extermination, and failed to kill Drago with it. This angered Hephaestus, god of the Fire and Forge, and also the source of Tokumaru's power. In his rage, Hephaestus struck Tokumaru with his Fire of Obliteration, and Tokumaru died. But Hephaestus had made a mistake, as the samurai was reborn minutes later, armed with a greater power that he would use against Drago, and then once more a few months later, which you will find out soon enough.

But as Tokumaru attacked the Dragonic Overlord with his powers, a beautiful song was heard, and Drago disappeared into the mist, leaving both him and Tokumaru with a seething hatred for eachother.

It was before the great battle against Drago that Tokumaru met a man named Blitz Keir. Apparently, this man had fought Drago as well, and knew exactly what he was capable of. Blitz was fueled by the anger of Tokumaru's past, when the samurai was a murderous lord, and decided to take the Tokumaru's life in retribution. Tokumaru indeed knew that he had once done horrible things, although he didn't do them anymore. But he did not deny Blitz his challenge, and fought greatly.

As the battle wore on, both of the combatants entered their most powerful, and new, phases, "Celestial" for Blitz, and "Eternal Inferno" for Tokumaru. They fought for a long while in these forms, and eventually exhausted all of the Elemental Energy, or mana, in the area, causing the fight to end abruptly; their super-forms required an abhorrent amount of mana. Blitz left the fight wearily, and Tokumaru continued his Journey across the lands as a wandering samurai.

But Blitz and Tokumaru fought again, and that time, left the battle as good friends.

So there it stood, Blitz and Tokumaru both had an eager obsession to kill Drago, and Drago had the same feelings towards both of them. The cold wind suddenly came to an abrupt halt, as did Tokumaru, and he looked to the top of the mountain he was standing near. A ominous creature with two leathery wings was there, and kicked off into the air towards Tokumaru's location; his hunch was correct, the aura he had sensed was Drago's.

But then, he sensed another aura, one of that he admired with great respect. The aura came closer, and stepped into the lowlands in which he stood. It was Blitz, who had most likely sensed Drago's aura as well. It was at that moment that the Dragonic Overlord landed in between the two of them.

A long pause followed.

OOC: So, don’t make them go straight into the fight, let's see a little dialog! Ah, and the posting order is as follows: Keiji, Drago, WOTS, Keiji, Drago, WOTS, and so on.

OoC: Let the beginging of the end start! Remember how this ends guys! By the way, WOTS, I think I wan't Keiji to finish this one, you okay with that?

BiC: moments before...

Mortals. Nothing but flilthy, lowdown mortals. That was Drago's point of view on two of the race known as man. Drago loathed and despised them. He hated and cursed them. Tokumaru and Blitz had but one thing left to do with Drago... die.

Drago watched as the samurai walk towards the mountain. Drago spread his large wings and glided down softly behind Tokumaru. Right after, Drago sensed a familiar aura.

Blitz Keir strode in. He looked well refreshed and in a healthy mood. When he laid eyes on Drago his smile dissappeared. He got into his battle stance and rested his hand on his sword.

Drago stood up to his full height and looked left to right. "So my two worst enemies have come before me... Tokumaru Kyo and Blitz Keir. I had rather hoped you two would show up." Drago stated has he laughed softly.

"Drago, you have been againstm e since the fight in the North. What has happened to you?" Tokumaru asked out of spite. Although him and Drago hated each other, Tokumaru would still have called him a friend.

"I didn't think you would be here." Blitz said flatly to the samurai. He shifted his weight to the other leg and watched Drago carefully. If anyone was to move first it would be him.

"Foolsih mortals. Your lucky you both came here at the same time. I would have slaughtered you otherwise." Drago informed them as his green eyes changed from Tokumaru to Blitz in a quick fansion.

"Drago, you have gone past the word evil. You do not deserve to live." Tokumaru whispered harshly. Blitz nodded in agreement.

"It wasn't me who invited a demon into my body and slaughter countless numbers of women and children." Drago replied with a sharp tone.

"Don't you dare say that again Drago!" Tokumaru barked as he grabbed the hilt of his sword.

"Stay calm!" Blitz yelled over the Overlord at Tokumaru. "Don't listen to him! What does he know?"

"More than you ever will, because I'm going to shorten your life considerably. You will fall on the ground with blood pouring out of you wishing you were back with your hore for a wife!" Drago growled at Blitz with a smile.

"You bastard... how dare you say that!" Blitz yelled as he shook with frustration. He pulled out his sword with amazing speed.

"Now come on... don't tell me that your insulted that easily. You both know that if you don't remain calm you cannot succede. I am invincible, yet you come here to kill me." Drago murmured as he spun the Dragonic Edge up in to his hands.

Tokumaru slid the Hinotama out with great ease. There was a beautiful ringing sound from the three swords being drawn at once.

"Drago Universi... this battle shall be your last!" Tokumaru said coolly as he eyed Blitz.

The two warriors circled Drago very slowly. These were his lands. There was no telling what tricks he had up his sleeve.

"It is so sad that you mortals believe you stand a chance against me! I shall feed you to creatures of your kind, maggots!" Drago yelled. The Whip of Chaos was snatched from his waist.

Tokumaru realized what Drago would be able to do if he destroyed his only two challenges. The Apocalypse would come to pass.

Blitz walked slowly towards Drago. Very slowly. He didn't want to have any fast ones pulled on him. He watched in confusion when Drago closed his eyes and pointed his sword in one direction and his whip in the other.

The two flame swordsmen ran forward. The both raised their swords to strike, but when they got in range Drago spun, therefore slapping Blitz with the whip and cutting Tokumaru with the Dragonic Edge.

The two wepaons hissed in excitment. They both would be able to taste blood soon. Drago's green eyes opened. It was time for them to die. It was time for the warriors of flame to burn in the magic they used.

"Let the Chaos begin..." Drago whispered as he ran for Tokumaru at atonishing speed.

OoC: Alrighty. Yeah WOTS start from when Blitz is on his way in then skip ta fighting. I'm giving ya the green light.

“Not so fast!” Blitz shouted. His feet slammed against the ground only once, and then he was sailing toward the Dragon Overlord, his Supernova flashing a brilliant array of vibrant and dull colors, and through it one could have seen the deepest depths of the endless stream of eternity…

***

Damn, it’s cold! Blitz thought to himself as he scaled the side of a small hill, hugging himself fervently for warmth. Evergreens rose up on either side of him, forming a small forest. Tiny flakes of soft white fluttered down from the sky, but melted the instant they reached the ground. Still, the grass was nearly frozen over and crunched gently under his feet with every step. Were it not for the biting cold, Blitz might have enjoyed the picturesque scene. But the hill on which he trekked was rather steep, and the fact that the swordsman could practically feel his blood cells freezing over did not make the going any easier. Being a fire elemental, he was unaccustomed to low temperatures, and this was a particularly chilly day. It had been a long time since it had been this cool. In fact, Blitz could hardly remember the last time it was so cold at this time of year. August was usually warmer.

From where he was now, he could see the peak of the hill. At this distance, his vision was a tad distorted; for a moment, he could have sworn that the hill ended in a sharp drop. But as he drew closer, he realized that his vision was fine. The hill ended in a sheer drop of approximately… ten feet at the most. He was about to drop down the hillside when he noticed the two people were standing not far from the base of the small rise. A mere moment’s glance later, he was shocked to see who they were.

Blitz and Tokumaru had fought alongside not too long ago; hardly two months in fact. It had been almost no time since that fiasco back at base fourteen during which he and the Heavenflame Samurai had settled their differences. Kyo just kept popping up wherever the swordsman went… How ironic that, this time, Drago Universi would be with him. The two were facing off, it appeared, but Tokumaru’s eyes quickly darted over to Blitz. The swordsman saw a hint of anxiety behind those eyes, an anxiousness that he himself had felt a few times before. Blitz knew all too well what that expression meant: His former enemy was about to fight an old friend.

I don’t like the looks of this… the swordsman thought to himself. A cold and disturbing silence hung in the cold autumn air, a prelude to disaster. Something told him that this day would be fateful…

***

SHING! The Supernova ripped through the Dragon Overlord’s heavy armor, shearing off a section of it and throwing off his rush. Drago stumbled face-down into the ground bearing an understandably furious snarl. Blitz leapt over the fallen dragon and stood beside the Heavenflame Samurai.

“Are you alright?” he asked rhetorically.

“Fine, thanks,” Tokumaru returned without looking. His eyes were now locked onto Drago unwaveringly; Blitz imagined crosshairs before the samurai’s face and smirked.

Now was no time for humor, though, and so he readied his sword for the certain onslaught as Drago rose from the dirt. His snarl had escalated into a fury so intense that his snout quivered. Blitz tensed himself; last time he saw that expression on the Overlord, no good had come of it. “Get ready,” he said to Tokumaru.

Drago threw back his head and let out a ferocious roar so great that it shook the ground, and then he was upon them…

OOC: Time to rock and roll over dead! *Don't enter bloodlust yet.

BiC: BiC: Tokumaru was glad to see that his new ally had arrive, taking the time in his mind to thank the gods. Maybe now he could truly end Drago's reign of suffering, for the people of Earth, and more importantly, for Drago himself. Blitz seemingly read the samurais thoughts, and darted towards Drago again, who was on the verge of yet another bloodlust. Although, the Dragon knew he could hold back till *much later.

Twisting around, the Dragon caught Blitz by the leg and tossed him high into the air, where he was caught by the mana-created being, The Sôryûsen Ryû. When Blitz reached the ground, however, he saw that Tokumaru and Drago were in a destructive deadlock, Tokumaru had already entered Inferno, his sword searing with heat. Blitz wanted to do something, but the awing force given off by the two warriors as their swords clashed stopped him. He almost wanted to see what would happen, and stood idly, sweat trickling down his neck.

Tokumaru slammed with an Uppercut towards Drago, who countered with the defensive Kai-Kan, (High-held Drop stance) whizzing around in a Light-Spear-like attack, cutting Tokumaru in numerous places. The samurai quickly retaliated by swinging the Hinotama downwards upon his opponent; the Drago pushed upwards, and a fiery Deadlock began. Pushing hard against the Dragonic Edge, Tokumaru spoke,

"Dammit Drago!" he said, gritting his teeth together in rage. "Why do you have to do this?! You're being so selfish, cruel, and utterly disgraceful to the art of Sword! I can't even call you my friend!"

Drago pushed equally as hard, laughing insidiously as he went. "I do believe it is YOU who are being selfish, young mortal. This world was never meant for you. You even angered the gods themselves by failing to defeat me! And now I will make you perish!"

Suddenly, Blitz sensed a small crystalline formation in Tokumaru's eye. It was a... no, it couldn't be... It was a tear!

"Why Drago?!" yelled the samurai, pushing as hard as he ever could against the chaotic sword. "What did I do? If it weren't for me and Eyliden, you would be dead right now, and you know it! You helped me defeat Naoru... I just... I just don't get it!"

Drago laughed extremely hard, and forcefully pushed against the Hinotama, on the verge of breaking the deadlock. "You just don't get it, do you?" he said evilly, "I am here to defeat all whose powers rival mine, or..." he stopped, and looked over to Blitz, "...or those that harm my family! So you will die, samurai! I will make sure of it, and I will feast on your flesh!"

That did it. Tokumaru snapped. "I don't get it!!!" he yelled crazily, breaking the deadlock instantly. "WHY DO YOU WANT ME DEAD?!"

Drago was taken aback at the new, but temporary, rage fueled increase in his rival's power. At that moment, Tokumaru flew in on Drago and started pummeling Drago with blasts of fire, slashing him with the Hinotama as well. Tokumaru pinned Drago to the ground by the Dragon's neck. What Drago saw in Tokumaru's eyes was not the caring Heavenflame Samurai. Nay, that side of Tokumaru could never truly defeat the Dragonic Overlord. The only side that could do THAT was....

"DIE!!!" yelled Tokumaru, holding his arm up above Drago's skull, ready to crush it in.

"So." said Drago cockily. "You've finally let that Demon within you come back to life, eh? And I never thought you could stood so low. But I am surprised you got me pinned like this without even ascending into Raging Inferno."

Tokumaru began to laugh slightly, then a little louder, and a little louder, until eventually, he was cracking up in insane laughter.

"Nay, Drago!" he said in a different voice. "I am not the Demon, Tokumaru, nor am I the Heavenflame Samurai, Tokumaru. I have fused my past with my present for this one battle, so that you can finally die. I am............ The Archangel Samurai!"

OOC: Just for the record, Tokumaru is not in anything above Inferno yet. He will just be the Archangel Samurai for this battle, and this one alone.

OoC: Sadly there was so many spelling mistakes in that I was afraid, but anyways let's get to it, shall we?

BiC:"You cannot defeat me, fools." Drago laughed at Tokumaru as he threw him off.

Blitz moved forward at amazing speeds. He leapt into the air and brought his sword down, but to his surprise Drago ducked over to the left and punched him.

Tokumaru quickly snatched Blitz from the air and put him next to him. "You should be more careful." Tokumaru said to Blitz without looking at him.

"I can take care of myself, Tokumaru!" Blitz growled at the Archangel Samurai.

Drago chuckled softly when his eyes rested upon the two arguing. "If you are that hateful of each other then why do you fight me?" Drago asked as he raised a eyebrow.

The two flameswordsmen turned and glared at the Overlord. They spiltup and circled the Overlord once again. They both ran for him, but neither made it. Drago turned and his tail swept Tokumaru off his feet. While that happened he ran the Dragonic Edge across Blitz chest.

"Ugh..." Blitz whispered as blood pured from the wound. It wasn't deep, but bled none the less.

Tokumaru jumped to his feet and tried to slice at Drago's tail, but Drago spun and kicked Tokumaru right in the face. The samurai hit the ground hard.

"Damned mortals. You think you stand a chance!" Drago yelled in anger.

He turned to Blitz and gave a toothy grin. He held his hand towards the boy. Blitz tried to leap out of the way, but Drago's black beam exploded right where he was heading.

Tokumaru grunted as he lifted himself off the ground. He was just about to stand up before Blitz was thrown into him.

"Hahahaha! You two are the most pathetic pair I've ever fought. No wonder you both don't have wives! Your too pathetic to keep them alive!" Drago said mockedly.

"How... dare... you!" Blitz managed to say as he leapt off of Tokumaru and landed behind Drago.

A bright sphere appeared in Blitz' hand. Tokumaru aimed his fingers at Drago. Drago opened both hands in their directions.

"Sun Bomb!" Blitz yelled as he hurled the glowing circle at Drago's feet.

"Flames of Destruction!" Tokumaru replied as hot flames shot forth from his hand.

"Hands of Chaos!" Drago roared as a black beam from each hand flew and made contact with the flames.

There was a massive explosion when Chaos met Fire. All of the warriors held the ground. A thick, black smoke clouded where Drago stood. His green eyes glowed through the mist.

Tokumaru and Blitz moved so that they were infront of the dragon. His eyes locked on them and for some reason the smoke thickened.

"MOVE!" Tokumaru yelled, but it was too late. Black flames shot out and consumed the two swordsmen.

Drago walked out of the smoke, but he seemed a little different. A dragonic symbol had appeared on his forehead.

"I don't need to be the Overlord to defeat you. I'll use my true form. I am the Black Dragon of Chaos!" Drago yelled as his eneimies rose off the ground.

OoC: Since Tokumaru changed his title I'll change mine till Overlord form. (Big ass form) EDIT: Oh, realized that Tokumaru wasn't in Raging Inferno, so I changed the Flames of Annihilation to Flames of Destruction.

Blitz let out a startled yelp as he involuntarily took flight, and the sky suddenly grew very close. As he flew upward, body flailing like a ragdoll, he took a moment to gather his thoughts. What the Hells am I doing? he demanded of himself. A stunning display of incompetence, that was what; Viscen would have been ridiculing him for a number of reasons right now. I’m capable of more than this! So why… The atmosphere was so cold today that using fire elemental energy would be difficult. Amy would have been helpful here due to the abundance of cold air, but… Stay focused, Keir, he told himself carefully, taking several deep breaths to calm his nerves.

Now he had hit the peak of his ascent, and he was beginning to fall. The Blitzkrieg technique would be nigh impossible right now; even using his Sun Bomb had been taxing. However, one viable option remained. Blitz called out to the core of the Earth, feeling the great multitudes of elemental energy within its depths. They responded quickly, and began to rush toward him. Now it was only a matter of aiming his landing…

Drago came into view on the ground, looking up at the falling swordsman with amusement. His green eyes pierced into Blitz’ mind, and he lost focus for a moment. Chiding himself, he held out his arms and angled his descent so that he was falling towards the Dragon Overlord. Despite the necessity for a poker face, Blitz could not prevent the smirk from crossing his lips. The ground was dangerously close now, and the swordsman was only seconds away from splattering over the semi-frozen tundra. But just before he collided with Drago, a pillar of flames erupted from the Earth’s crust and enveloped both he and the dragon instantly.

Blitz rode the heat wave and sailed out of his Heart of Fire, landing gracefully on one knee. Tokumaru had sprouted wings and landed some distance away atop the small rise behind Blitz. The swordsman turned and leapt up next to his ally. It was then that, as he considered the flaming shaft that was the Hinotama, an idea occurred to Blitz.

“Hey Tokumaru,” he said, “Mind if I use your sword for a second?”

The samurai gave him a dubious look that possibly carried with it the answer ‘no’. But Blitz decided to ignore his ally’s response. Without the Hinotama, it would be difficult to summon up the proper elemental energy to execute any half-decent attacks. Besides, the Heart of Fire would relent its assault any moment now and Drago would be freed from the flaming prison. Focusing his will on Tokumaru’s burning weapon, and holding out an open-palmed hand for emphasis, the swordsman grunted. Channeling energy through non-runic weaponry was always a challenge. Gradually, he was able to force some of the energy from his Heart of Fire into the blade. It glowed more brightly now and the flames increased in volume.

“Now don’t move,” Blitz said to the samurai, focusing more intently on the weapon. Tokumaru watched in wonder as the flames on his sword began to dissolve, and a dull red glow surrounded the swordsman. Now filled with a fresh batch of fire energy, Blitz stretched his arms; small spherical flames appeared at the end of each hand, and he ‘humphed’ in satisfaction as they disappeared. “Thanks,” he said, tossing the samurai an appreciative glance.

“Er… you’re welcome,” said Tokumaru for lack of anything better to say.

Blitz returned his eyes to the Heart of Fire as it suddenly began to recede. The energy he had called from the Earth’s core had maxed out, and now the stream of flames was reduced to a thin laser. Then, it was gone altogether. Drago knelt in the center of a smoldering crater, looking royally ticked. Smoke rose from his charred flesh, but the dragon was otherwise unharmed. His armor, however, had melted away; all that was left of the protective coating was a distorted chunk of sizzling metal on the ground which was quickly cooling.

Drago snarled, lips quivering in hatred again. Threatening words of loathing filtered from his mouth, but from where the two swordsmen stood on the rise, they could not make out what he was saying. Rising to his feet, he retrieved the Dragonic Edge from its resting place on the cold dirt, still muttering unheard threats. With a start, Blitz realized a blatant fact which had somehow evaded his notice this whole time—Drago was completely insane. He had been completely consumed by his own lust for power, and now he was subject to that lust. No longer was this being his own master; wrath had taken hold of him. Now Viscen’s words came Blitz' mind once more…

A calculating and sane mind may hold many tricks, but crazy people are damn hard to kill!

Yes, how appropriate that such a statement would come to mind now. Taking a defensive posture as Drago took one thunderous step toward him, Blitz twirled his Supernova around on two fingers. The dragon took another step, this one even more forceful than the last. More such steps brought him to the bottom of the small rise, and Blitz felt a surge of hatred for this wretched being well up in his heart.

“Hey Drago,” he called to the dragon. “Call my wife a whore one more time, and I’ll send you straight to Hell, you spawn of fools and cowards.”

Drago’s eyes grew wide as dinner plates in fury. The words came all in one breath, “Your wife is a pitiful pile of flesh that fails even to warrant the title ‘whore’! Were she here now, I would slaughter the b*tch, spit upon her remains, and partake of her blood with unparalleled joy!”

In his vision, the world turned red. Not even uttering a response, Blitz hurtled down the slope without touching the ground once. This dragon had to die.

OoC: I've made you screw yourself. Prepare to burn.

OOC: K.... Now? Nah.... I'll wait till my next post to go further than Inferno. Just you wait. This post is more for Blitz anyways. Why is it that no one can get Tokumaru's sword's forms correct? Heated Sword w/ no flames--> Inferno. Flaming sword--> Raging Inferno. Flames on a stick--> Eternal Inferno!

BiC: Blitz rushed down the slope, face inbumed with anger. He only had one objective on his mind: To kill Drago. He had felt similar pressure before, when Tokumaru had made fun of his wife, sending Blitz into Celestial form. But Blitz would rather die than enter Celestial form again and go out of control, so he maintained the normal, unascended formation. But still, his swings were blinded by rage, and the Dragonic Overlord easily dodged them, despite his normally slow lag.

Tokumaru chased after his ally, trying his best to get to him before Drago ripped him apart. This was a side of Drago that Tokumaru had only seen once before, and he had never really taken to it. It wasn't all that powerful, and didn't even come close to even Raging Inferno, which Tokumaru was planning to unleash soon enough. The samurai knew, however, that if Blitz continued the recklessness, he would most likely loose his, life. But as he approched the Wielder of the Sword, he was dumbfounded.

Blitz, even in rage such as this, was easily dodging Drago's blows, and apparently, hadn't unleashed any true force of power. He dodged another one of Drago's blows, and another, and another, and soon the Dragonic Overlord began to become annoyed. Twisting the whip of chaos around his own arm, the Dragon spat a dark substance upon it, and grinned, lashing it at both Tokumaru and Blitz' eyes, which blinded them for a few moments.

By the time Tokumaru opened his eyes. Blitz and Drago were fighting again, and this time, Blitz had the upperhand. He swung the Supernova in a dazzling assortment of moves, flames seemingly flowing from the blade itself. It was then that Tokumaru spotted something; a familiar aura pressed through the trees, and instantly Tokumaru became aware of why Drago had blinded him. As if on cue to this relevation, Drago purposley fell on to the ground, and the Wielder of the Sword, thinking that the fall was an accident, raised his blade high above Drago, ready to end the Overlord's life.

Tokumaru's eyes widened, and he then saw the aura's emitter, and rushed down to the battle scene quickly. "Blitz! Get do-" said Tokumaru, being cut off by the loud roar of a Dragon. At that moment, Freezer, the coldhearted Dragon of Ice, rose from the trees, having a large mana and power boost from the chilly air, and shot a beam of cold Aurora-mana at Blitz. Being a fire elemental, Blitz was deeply affected by the cold mana.

"Dammit, Drago!" yelled tokumaru as he rushed towards his presumtous foe. "You blinded us so you could bring about Freezer! You slime!"

But as Tokumaru approached Drago, he was stopped by Blitz, who grabbed his arm. "No," said the Wielder of the Sword, "he made a mockery of my wife, I must kill him!"

Tokumaru shooked his head, and held out his hand to Blitz, who was, now in a weakened state, cast to the trees, encased in a warm mana-recovery cage that the samurai had spawned. Being hit with your opposite Element whilst in the Element's climate can take a toll on one's mana.

"Now, Drago!" said Tokumaru, "Why don't we have a little fun, eh? You remember the Hinotama, no?"

Drago gave the samurai a perplexed look, gazing down on the sword of Firestorm. "What?" he asked, "Your sword?"

Tokumaru snickered, and entered a puzzling stance. "Oh, no. Not the sword. The technique!" At that, Tokumaru rammed Drago into the air, and beat him feircly in the skies. Hitting Drago into the distance, he took advantage of his own speeds and zoomed all the way behind Drago, the cyclone of flames appearing on his sword for a moment, and hit him down to earth in a dazzling array of flames. The cyclone subsided, and before Tokumaru could even get back to the ground, Blitz was up an at'em, full of mana, and a lust to kill Drago.

OOC: Sorry about the bolding, I'm just trying to get the attributes of Inferno through you guys' thick skulls. Lol.

OoC: K guys I'm going to let a new kick in. We'll say that what Tokumaru and Blitz doesn't know is that all of Drago's dragons roam free here, and Drago calls him to his side. That'll be a hoot.

BiC: Drago swore loudly as he flew towards the ground. Blitz leapt up for him, but a large sheet of ice flew infront of him.

Blitz grunted as he smashed through the ice, nothing was going to stop him. When he reached Drago he aimed one large swing. He swung as hard as he could at Drago head, but Drago's wings shot out.

They held him so that Blitz missed and Drago drove his claws through Blitz chest. The sharp weapons sliced through easily. Drago twitched from missing Blitz heart, but then regreted not let go when Blitz drove his sword into the Overlord's stomach.

Drago roared in pain and threw Blitz off of him. The black dragon turned with an mad look own his twisted face. "Freezer! KILL HIM!" Drago yelled at the ice dragon.

Freezer replyed with a loud roar and charged Blitz. Drago ripped out the Supernova and flung it in the opposite direction.

Blitz sighed grunted as he felt warm blood drip down his clothes. Here he was freezing and bleeding to death and an ice dragon was coming for him.

Drago breathed heavily. This was getting annoying. Drago reared his head back with a laugh. "COME TO ME! CHILDREN OF CHAOS!" Drago yelled with a loud roar after that.

Tokumaru tensed when he heard eleven other roars reply from a distance. The Dragons of Chaos were coming. All thriteen of the dragons would come here to this place.

"Drago how are they out of Universi?" Tokumaru asked sensibly.

"It is because I made this place exactly like Universi. I changed the climate and changed the feeling." Drago answered with a smirk.

"You..." okumaru whispered quietly. He finally was in the home of all dragons, Universi.

Freezer began to battle with the weaponless Blitz. Tokumaru made a shot to help him, but Drago infront of him with the Dragonic Edge glowing green.

"Now, Tokumaru, I will feel the satisfaction of your blood on my sword."

OoC: K guys I'm going to let a new kick in. We'll say that what Tokumaru and Blitz doesn't know is that all of Drago's dragons roam free here, and Drago calls him to his side. That'll be a hoot.

BiC: Drago swore loudly as he flew towards the ground. Blitz leapt up for him, but a large sheet of ice flew infront of him.

Blitz grunted as he smashed through the ice, nothing was going to stop him. When he reached Drago he aimed one large swing. He swung as hard as he could at Drago head, but Drago's wings shot out.

They held him so that Blitz missed and Drago drove his claws through Blitz chest. The sharp weapons sliced through easily. Drago twitched from missing Blitz heart, but then regreted not let go when Blitz drove his sword into the Overlord's stomach.

Drago roared in pain and threw Blitz off of him. The black dragon turned with an mad look own his twisted face. "Freezer! KILL HIM!" Drago yelled at the ice dragon.

Freezer replyed with a loud roar and charged Blitz. Drago ripped out the Supernova and flung it in the opposite direction.

Blitz sighed grunted as he felt warm blood drip down his clothes. Here he was freezing and bleeding to death and an ice dragon was coming for him.

Drago breathed heavily. This was getting annoying. Drago reared his head back with a laugh. "COME TO ME! CHILDREN OF CHAOS!" Drago yelled with a loud roar after that.

"Drago how are they out of Universi?" Tokumaru asked sensibly.

"It is because I made this place exactly like Universi. I changed the climate and changed the feeling." Drago answered with a smirk.

"You..." okumaru whispered quietly. He finally was in the home of all dragons, Universi.

Freezer began to battle with the weaponless Blitz. Tokumaru made a shot to help him, but Drago infront of him with the Dragonic Edge glowing green.

"Now, Tokumaru, I will feel the satisfaction of your blood on my sword."

OoC: Blitz you go ahead and battle with Freezer. Now in this fight the dragons will be cursed back to the real Universi if you defeat them. Make it dramatic and cool (lol). The rest of the dragons will show up very soon.

Freezer took flight suddenly, whipping its wings and soaring into the sky. In moments, it was out of sight. Having seen this strategy used before, Blitz knew that the dragon had picked a random direction, and would approach from behind a hedge of some sort for a sneak attack. That, coupled with the fact that he had spent months with his comrades hunting a vicious dragon back on Y'Vakka Prime, would lend him somewhat of an advantage. But Freezer would gain a significant boost in elemental energy, given the atmospheric conditions in this semi-tundra. He cursed the foul beast silently, annoyed that Drago had played this particularly dirty card. The swordsman would have to wait to tear the head from his foe. Nevertheless, his anger still blazed hotly; even more so, since she was alive somewhere on homebase 7. (OoC: Wait for the story on this—it’ll be a good one. ) The merest memory of Drago insulting her so ruthlessly was more than enough to make his blood boil; that dragon was dead, and he did not even know it!

Now the swordsman’s back was to the fighting pair as he waited for his foe’s pet to make its move. Snow was beginning to stick to the ground and in the trees which rose up in a thick line before him. A strong wind leapt past him; Freezer was coming again. The two combatants behind Blitz were generating quite a bit of heat energy, he noticed. Drawing forth a portion of that energy, he concentrated it into his sword. The Supernova glowed a dull red as if it were fresh from the forge. With a little more emotion, Blitz knew it would be able to transform, but such would have to come naturally.

With a roar, Freezer bolted up above the tree line and came down on the swordsman with all of its strength. Blitz somersaulted aside just as it skidded through dirt and snow; as he rolled, he plunged the heated Supernova into the dragon’s side and ripped a hole through it as he rolled. Freezer roared in pain and fury, blindly swiping at the miniscule human. Blitz had only just recovered from his dodge, and could not avoid the massive claw in time. It swept him up and hurled him across the ground, causing him to lose focus; the heat energy he had so carefully poured into his sword dissipated. Fortunately, there was now a new source of power from which he could easily draw on.

Blitz landed with an ‘Oof!’ knowing that he was completely open to attack. Hasty to avoid further damage, he flipped himself backward off of the ground, handspringing away from the attacking dragon. Its talons drove into the ground where he had been only an instant before, plowing through the dirt as though it were butter. There it was—the new power source! The enemy’s blood was pouring out of the wound that ran the entire length of its torso, carrying with it an incredible heat. Crimson steam rose from the dragon’s wound now, mixing with the cold air. Even if Blitz did not kill the dragon directly, it’s immune system would fail before long under these conditions. Even for a creature with such immunity to cold temperatures, the freezing of its blood would kill it instantly.

Blitz drew upon the heat energy pouring from Freezer’s wound. He could see a definite change in the dragon’s expression; it was feeling the effects of the temperature, even more so now that Blitz was sapping away its body heat. The swordsman grinned meticulously. “You’re not so tough!”

Furious, Freezer threw him a vicious swipe. This time, though, Blitz was prepared; he dodged the attack easily and continued to sap away Freezer’s energy. The dragon followed by letting loose a blast of freezing air, but the swordsman leapt up and onto Freezer’s head. Soon, he would have enough energy to finish it off…

Suddenly, a thunderous sound came from relatively nearby. Blitz’ grin dropped from his face. The other dragons were on their way, and they were very close. I’ll have to finish this quickly, he thought to himself. With an extra burst of gusto, he drained a considerable chunk out of the dragon’s heat energy. Maybe that was too much? he thought in bemusement as Freezer suddenly stumbled.

The dragon swayed back and forth, it’s vision blurring and its thoughts hazy. Still, it knew that it had to kill this human. That thought in mind, it poured every ounce of its remaining strength into a furious slash in the general direction of its target. There was a cry of pain, and then it collapsed to the ground with a great thunderous crash.

Blitz landed from his lightning-quick leapt and felt a surge of pain in his left leg. He knelt, nursing the wound in his leg with one hand, trying to shield it from the cold air. Freezer’s claws had plunged into its own head, tearing through hard bone and precious brain tissue. Blitz had gotten off with only a scrape, but from such a massive creature a mere scratch would be debilitating. Thanks to his race’s inherent strength, though, Blitz was able to force away the thought of pain. Ripping off a small bit of cloth from the Supernova’s hilt, he tied off the wound and stood to make sure the dragon was dead. Freezer was unmoving, and its eyes were sealed shut. Blood drained from the two grotesque wounds and pooled beneath it, an ever growing puddle of crimson that stood out brilliantly against the pure white snow. Good, he thought. I can use that heat energy when the others arrive.

Then, to Blitz’ surprise, blue flames leapt into existence around the dragon’s carcass. Within moments, they had completely consumed the bleeding body, and all that remained was a pool of blood that had already begun to coagulate. “Crap!” shouted Blitz aloud. But there was no time to fret over it. He still possessed every amount of heat energy that he had gathered from Freezer’s wounds, and Tokumaru doubtlessly needed his help. Turning, he raced in the direction of his ally and his enemy.

Meanwhile, another roar ripped through the icy field. The dragons were coming…

OOC: Mkay, looks like fun. Since Drago knows his own Dragons best, I'll do a rewrite of WOTS' post, except from Tokumaru's point of view. Pissed off at Martel Mithos Quote! Yay!

BiC: Tokumaru stared deep into Drago's eyes, wondering what he could do next. His enemy was a powerful one, and soon, he would be surrounded by all 13 Dragons of Chaos which helped him seal the demon Naoru.

"You..." Tokumaru said angrily; he was truly in the home of all Dragons, Universi.

Drago whipped his sword around expertly, staring Tokumaru down with his disturbingly green eyes. "Now, Tokumaru, I will feel the satisfaction of your blood on my sword." Those words echoed throughout the samurai's mind, and soon, he was truly fed up. He didn't want to try anymore. Bringing back the Drago of old was now impossible, and there was only one thing to do: End this Dragon's life. At that moment, snow began to fall, and was whipped up around Tokumaru as the Pyro-mana within him gathered, spreading throughout his body, and even to the tip of his sword. Flames then spread in a cyclone around his blade, and the Pyro-mana within him was released; he had once again entered Raging Inferno.

At once, he rushed in at Drago and slammed his sword down upon him. The Dragon countered with a drop from Kai-kan, and two blades that should never have clashed slammed together, sending a fiery shot of chaotic sparks into the air. The samurai pushed hard against his foe, nearly breaking both swords in two. The snow around them began to melt in their intense heat, and suddenly, both combatants felt a slight piece of their Pyro-mana being stripped from them. Tokumaru looked up to Blitz, who shot him a nod, and smiled. The Heavenflame samurai then pulled off a daring maneuver.

Letting go of the hilt of his sword, Tokumaru took advantage of his extreme speeds and ran behind Drago before he could even trip at the loss of resistance, and nailed him in the back, calling the Hinotama back to him as he went. Drago lay motionless on the ground for a few moments; Tokumaru approached him cautiously.

"Please tell me you're not down for the count, Drago." he said coolly, "Otherwise killing you would be all too easy, you pathetic excuse for a Dragon. I'll kill you this day, Drago. Letting you live is not permitted. I WILL NOT ALLOW THAT, DO YOU HEAR ME?!" At that moment, the samurai slammed his sword down upon his foe, only to have it caught by the bare hands of the Dragon. Crimson flowed down the blade as Drago stood up, eyes red and furious.

He cast the blade back to his opponent, and screamed:

"Blood."

"Blood."

"Blood!!!"

The Dragon then roared an insane battle cry as he rushed at Tokumaru, who dodged the blood lusted Drago. He slammed back with a slash to Drago's head, who easily dodged and countered. It was then that Drago felt two things: Freezer's life-force failing, and the auras of his other Dragons heading quickly towards the snowy clearing. He dodged a number more of Tokumaru's strikes, and swamped the samurai with a number of his own. This pattern went on for quite some time, until soon, Freezer's life-force went dead, and the Dragon disappeared back into Universi.

It was then that the Wielder of the Sword came to aid his partner, and the mighty roar of the 11 remaining Dragons of chaos was heard.

OOC: Ok, not as Dramatic as I had hoped, heh…
