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…

OoC: Hm... I'm thinking whether to call off the dragons or not. Blitz did good... sooooo... I guess ya'll fight the dragons. Of course remember... three dragons aren't as bad as they look...

BiC: Drago roared in pain as another slice from the Hinotama wounded him. He turned around and grabbed Tokumaru around the throat. Right before he crushed his opponents throat another sword drove into his tail.

"Gotcha!" Blitz yelled at Drago's tail as it whipped around in pain.

"DAMN YOU!" Drago yelled as he turned and punched Blitz into a tree.

The two flame swordsmen regrouped and circled Drago. He was stronger then usual. They were fighting on his turf, he was more powerful then ever.

Tokumaru and Blitz ran for Drago. They engaged him in a fight of swords. Of course, Drago grabbed his whip so he could match weapons.

Blitz felt anger and fustration come over him as the Whip of Chaos spun around and caught every one of his moves. He doged it once again and thrusted his sword towards Drago. The Overlord's whip wrapped around the sword and made a deathlock.

Tokumaru and Drago didn't blink as their two blades smashed against each other. Tokumaru dodged a downward slash and hit Drago in the face, so that he let go of his sword.

Blitz grunted and ripped the whip out of Drago's hands. They both grinned. Drago was defenceless. He watched them both. They might have sword, but he had claws.

Tokumaru ran forward with astonishing speed and tried to cut Drago's middle, but Drago was faster and he ducked then bit into Tokumaru's leg. Tokumaru screamed out in pain and fell backward.

Blitz ran for the bent over Drago and raised his sword, but when he brought it down drago moved and hit him the the gut. Blitz lost all of his air and fell over as Drago's clawed feet stabbed into his back.

Blitz and Tokumaru met eyes then jumped up. No pain could hold them back now. They both snatched their swords and were about to finally kill the Overlord when black flames barely missed them.

Tokumaru and blitz turned in surprise to see eight dragons running towards them. They turned and saw the other three coming from the opposite direction.

They were too late. It was all over. Drago had won. Apocalypse led the eight dragons and reared his head back. Black flames flew towards them, but right before contact white flames soared from overhead and neutrilized the dark fire.

"What?" Drago, Tokumaru and Blitz said at the same time.

Lighnel, the dragon of Light stood behind them with smoke comign from his nostrils. Behind him stood, Diablos the dragon of Fire, and Lifineck the dragon og Life.

"Im-Impossible!" Drago managed to say in surprise.

Even in Bloodlust he was surprised. Three of his dragons had turned against him!

"How...?" Tokumaru whispered.

Because, Tokumaru Kyo, Drago has become corrupt. He is not the old Drago he was. When he raised us and began his path for power he made us promise that if he was ever changed or turned, to wait until the flame sword wieders appered to slay him. He is wise, he new that his greastest friend would do the right thing and come to dispose of him. Also his greatest enemy, Blitz. He said to tell you that he is deeply sorry for his dark actions and that he shall perish for them. Then we were to kill him. The other eight didn't follow these rules and listened to Apocalypse. A voice said in his head.

Blitz and Tokumaru turned in surprise. Yes. We can speak as well. Though talking like this is much easier for us. Now, you two must dispose of Apocalypse and Aquamere. Those two are powerful beyond reason. Let us join forces once again my friends and defeat my brethen. Lighnel whispered to them.

Tokumaru and Blitz grinned, "Yes, let us do this!" Tokumaru whispered to the three dragons.

Their wounds quickly healed. They looked to see the source and Lifineck grinned broadly. Then all of the dragons turned and faced each other as Drago stood infront of his dragons with his weapons.

The true battle... had begun.

OoC: Note that "Flare blade" is an alternate name for the Blazing sword. I meant to change it to Flare blade permanently, but we all know I have a problem with procrastination.

Bic: One of Blitz’ strongest points was his training as a soldier, which yielded him an ability unique to soldiers. This ability is known by a large number of names; among them are “the will to survive”, bloodfire, and—by those with a more moral outlook—even bloodlust. Yet this ability’s uses are all invaluable when it comes to combat. Not only does it allow the user to focus entirely on a single target, it can also block out pain and unnecessary distractions. Yet for all of its positives, there is but one singular flaw in this ability: Its complete spontaneity.

Following Lighnel’s advice, Blitz let his eyes target Apocalypse with a sinister pair of crosshairs. All else around the black dragon was cut off by a cloudy gray tunnel that focused his vision entirely on the enemy. Dodging distractions became a secondary objective, but also an instinct. The sword in his hand hummed with a righteous rage, sensing nearly enough emotion from its master to transform.

With a furious burst of adrenaline, Blitz let his feet leave the ground. He was soaring blindly toward the hovering menace, sword glowing with fiery heat. A single hate-filled word echoed from his mouth, though he himself was hardly aware of it. “Burn.”

A blinding white flash emanated from the Supernova, and though Apocalypse took a defensive posture, the sword sliced through one of the black’s limbs as easily as it would through air. With a whimper of pure shock, the black observed its falling front-right leg in mild confusion. Then, suddenly, shock and confusion turned to anger and vengefulness. Its eyes turned to the human who had injured its pride; it planted its face directly in Blitz’, and let out a vicious roar. Spittle leapt past Blitz, but he was not intimidated in the slightest; yet another of bloodfire’s invaluable uses. A small but controlled burst of flame was emitted from each of Blitz’ feet with hissing sounds, only strong enough to keep him afloat without sending him into the sky.

Blitz put on a demented grin which he was certain would have made his beloved cringe with fear. Or rather, he would have been certain if the bloodfire had not overtaken him. Apocalypse swiped at the floating human with its remaining front claw, but Blitz let a blast erupt beneath him and quickly escaped the attack. In passing, he slashed at the dragon’s head, but it merely whipped its massive neck aside. Blitz caused another eruption in front of him, reversing his direction and landing on Apocalypse’s back.

The dragon bucked wildly, trying to dislodge its undesired mount, but Blitz dug his feet into its sides as if to ride a horse. “Darkness cannot coexist with light, foul beast!” he cried, and drove the Flare blade into its neck with as much physical force as he could muster.

Shocked and confused beyond measure at how this mortal human could have bested it in battle, the black thrashed around wildly in pain and fury. Suddenly feeling very weary, it could not continue to beat its wings. Slowly, the massive leathery extensions ceased their movement and Apocalypse began to fall. Without remorse, Blitz caused an explosion beneath him that sent him flying from the dragon and sent the black hurtling toward the ground. Flipping gracefully at the peak of his ascent, Blitz allowed controlled excretions of fire energy to slow his fall until he landed on the ground gently, almost floating.

He turned and saw that the black was still breathing. That will not do, he thought, the bloodfire only now beginning to recede. One step; he took only one step, and then the dragon’s head came up with startling suddenness. It gave the human a look that clearly indicated rage beyond even what Blitz had experienced in Celestial form. But he was not worried. He remembered most of what had happened that day, and knew that Apocalypse would be awkward, especially given his lack for a front-right limb.

But despite its impairments, it once again leaned its face so close to his own that Blitz could smell its breath—it smelled quite foul. Then, an evil so great passed through its eyes that Blitz nearly shuddered. It opened its mouth, took a deep breath, and roared with as much force as its lungs could muster. The swordsman nearly went deaf, his clothes whipping wildly in the wind, and was almost unprepared for what happened next. Apocalypse’ snout twisted horizontally and it lunged, teeth snapped shut.

Blitz had very nearly been severed in two by the dragon’s serrated jowls, but had leapt up and out of the way in the nick of time. As he landed on one knee, he knew that it would take more than raw power to defeat this dragon. It appeared that he would actually have to try this time.

Taking advantage of the moment he had before the dragon could pick itself up, he looked above to see Lighnel, Diablos and Lifineck desperately holding back five of the other dragons. Tokumaru was fighting against Aquamere on the ground, now, but was slightly less successful than Blitz was against the debilitated Apocalypse; such was to be expected, seeing as how Aquamere was a water elemental, and Tokumaru of the fire element. Looks like I got off easy, he thought to himself. But where’s Drago? He answered his own question when he noticed a haughty-looking black outline standing on the small rise some distance away. Feeling bitter resentment for such a display of cowardice, Blitz’ strength was renewed.

After he dispatched Apocalypse once and for all, he decided, then he would help Tokumaru. The three traitors could handle themselves for now; survival of the swordsmen was more important.

Heh, heh! laughed Blitz internally. I’m a dragon slayer. Never saw that one coming. Done with humor, he turned to see that Apocalypse was on its feet, or lack thereof. If it could read Blitz’ thoughts, it certainly did not appear amused by the jest. All I have to do now is break its wings, and it will not be able to hinder us, he thought. Though the tactic of ripping a butterfly’s wing was terribly morbid, it was called for in such a situation. Brandishing his Flare blade with firm determination, and pouring a considerable amount of heat energy into it, Blitz rushed the dragon at full-throttle.

“Eat this!”

OOC: Mkay, well, horrible news. I am leaving for awhile. GOOD NEWS: My mom may have a laptop at her house that i can use, or she might've already bought our new computer. Btw, I wouldn't know what you would call the Blazing Ether, because you've changed the Blazing Sword to Flare Blade, so, it might be Fiery Ether, but I'm going to stick with Blazing Ether, and when WOTS clarifies, I'll edit accordingly. Ah, yes, let me brief you on this: 100X Flames of Annihilation is like the10X Flames of Extermination, except it is used in Raging Inferno, at the peak of an emotional spaz.

BiC: Blitz aimed carefully at the dragon of chaos, a myriad amount of Pyro-mana forming at the end of his blade. Apocalypse waddled towards the Wielder of the Sword subtly, and it was only a matter of time until the blast fired unto the beast's wings. Tokumaru was also fighting valiantly against his former friend a few feet away, shooting flames every which way at the horrid, bloodridden Drago. Tokumaru looked over to his companion, of which Apocalypse was drawing nearer and nearer. Quickly, the samurai evaded a blow from Drago, and reverted his gaze back to Blitz.

"Eat this!" yelled the swordsman. Just as the end of the Flare Blade began to fire off its concentrated energies, a searing pain bit into Blitz' shoulder, and blood splattered everywhere. Both Blitz and Tokumaru turned to find the Dragon of Kings, Dragis, biting into Blitz flesh. Blitz screamed out in pain as the flesh was torn from his shoulder, revealing a small point of bone and a huge sea of blood. Tokumaru was also shocked beyond belief.

"Dammit!" The samurai yelled. Using his omnipotent speed, he jolted behind Dragis and impaled him in the back numerous times, ending it with a fiery slash to the Dragon's head. Blitz was grasping his shoulder in utter pain, and Apocalypse was only drawing nearer. Thusly, Tokumaru abandoned his efforts with Dragis and surged after the Dragon of Darkness, slicing off its wings in a blinding spew of flames and blood. With a last glint of light, Apocalypse closed its eyes, and was sucked into the void of Universi, once and for all.

It was then that Tokumaru twirled around to impale Dragis through the head, but just as he did, his Hinotama and body was doused with a huge spray of water, and before long, a large stream of chaotic energies shot over him, then a beam that drained all of the mana within him, then a blast of wind which took the air from his lungs, then a plume of spiritual Energy which doused his final morale, and finally, a large case of earth sealed him away.

In that instant, all of the remaining Dragon's at Drago's side had fired their respective elements at Tokumaru, and Blitz then lost sight of the samurai's life Energy. His hopes were dashed then, and his morale began to fail. He had lost his only companion, and he was now doomed to be a wholesome meal for Drago's minions. A few tears welled up in his eyes, and he looked down to the ground, wondering how quickly Drago would make him die.

"I'm sorry..." he said to the air, obviously talking about Amy, "I couldn't kill this man... This demon who mocked you so evilly... I only wish that I could've done something to make him pay... He deserves it."

Drago cackled maniacally and swung the Dragonic Edge around in his hand. "Ha!" he yelled, "How does it feel, mortal? How does it feel to loose your only companion, and have to die at the hands of my Dragons? PAthetic. I guess you'll be rotting in Hell for the rest of your days!"

"No. He will NOT. We will make sure of your demise!!!"

At that moment, the casket of Earth broke open, and the Archangel Samurai hovered over it, eyes imbumed with Rage. He was still in Raging Inferno, but it was only a matter of time before he snapped, and entered Eternal Inferno. But the rage that fueled him now gave him the strength of his most powerful form, but only for a few moments. Holding out his hands, a gargantuan amount of mana appeared before him, larger than all 13 chaos Dragons combined, including Drago in Overlord form.

Tokumaru's Demon and Ronin pasts met right then, and, using the ball of mana, which was hotter than the surface of the sun, he screamed out in rage,

"100X FLAMES OF ANNIHILATION!!!"

It then became to bright to see, and the last thing that Blitz felt before the blast subsided was a familiar aura at his side, tending to his wounds; Tokumaru had summoned his Sôryûsen once again.

OOC: Ok, so, Drago needs to be hurt. BADLY.

OoC: OOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!! SECOND F-ING TIME IN A ROW! lol

BiC: Drago let out a groan. He was flat on his back and his flesh sizzled and steamed. His mouth was dry and he felt as though someone had killed him painfully then brought him back and did it again.

"There..." Tokumaru managed to say.

That blast had took a lot of mana. The other dragons turned towards each other.

Tokumaru we will try our best to hold them back. Death and Aquamere will cause a struggle beyond your imagination. Lighnel's thoughts whispered into Tokumaru's mind.

Drago jumped to his feet. Aquamere hosed him down so his flesh cooled down. The dragons all rushed towards the flames swordsmen and their new allies.

Tokumaru and Blitz jumped around as the elemental forces soared at each other. Lighnel roared as he took on Groundock and Torando. Diablos charged towards Ghastise and Treneber with his flaming sword. Lifineck ran towards Death and Aquamere with rage in his eyes.

Tokumaru and Blitz turned to see Drago hunched over and laughing quietly. "Is... that all you got?" Drago whispered with his shaky voice.

The blast had shook his body, but not his spirit. Drago looked up with his face twisted in rage and pain. "Are you holding back on me?!" Drago yelled at the samurai.

Drago then put his hands together and mumbled words of death and destruction. He aimed his hands at the samurai. There was a breath-taking silence as the air seemed to be sucked into his hands.

"DOUBLE HAND OF CHAOS!" Drago yelled in pure rage.

A huge black beam, followed by thousands of tiny ones, flew forward faster then any force on earth. The beams twisted the air around them and the temperture dropped from the chaotic energies.

Tokumaru was too slow to dodge as the attack slammed into him with its full force. Blitz was smashed by all the smaller beams. The ground shook from the powerful energies. The entire area went black as night. Nothing could be seen.

Then a blinding light shot forth from the side. Tokumaru and Blitz were shielded by this strange light. Suddenly everything jumped back to normal. Blitz and Tokumaru had just tasted the true begining of Drago's dark power. Just his dark power at this small form had almost purged the world into darkness.

They turned to see Torando, Ghastise, Groundock, and Treneber burn in their elements flames. They all were selaed back into Universi.

"Yeah!" Blitz cheered on the dragons on their side as they surrounded Aquamere and Death.

"We have the upper hand!" Tokumaru whispered to himself in surprise.

Things were going well, but not for long. Soon they heard the fires of Universi consume another of its people. They were heavyhearted to see Lifineck banished back to his realm.

Soon after, Diablos was defeated shortly after and consumed by red flames. That left Lighnel by himself.

"Damnit!" Tokumaru whispered.

He looked around for the Overlord, but he was nowhere to be seen. He motioned for Blitz to help him, but soon they heard a familiar voice in their heads.

I'm... sorry. Death is too powerful, and Aquamere can protect him from your flames. you must defeat them. You stand no chance other wise....... Lighnel whispered into their minds as he flew back into his home.

"So this is what's left..." Tokumaru whispered as he watched the two dragons walk towards them.

"Is this the end?" Blitz asked himself.

There is much pain and suffering before it, you damned mortals! Death's voice ringed in thier heads.

"You... will not finsih this... I WILL FINISH YOU!" Drago yelled from behind them.

"Drago... prepare yourself..." Tokumaru replied.

You have to go though us first! Aquamere yelled inside them, as he and Death moved infront of Drago.

OoC: Ok. These guys are like semi-bosses. They are the strongest combination possible. So they will last for a little while longer than the others. Death is very strong and Aquamere can inflict powerful wounds and protect him and Death from your magic. So let's play!

Blitz' gaze landed on Aquamere, the dragon of his adverse element. Until he dispatched the blue, this battle would become increasingly more difficult. However, if he allowed the dragon to live for a bit longer, perhaps it would consume more of the cold energy floating around in the atmosphere? If that happens, thought Blitz, summoning heat energy will be easier. But then again, the blue might perhaps possess a degree of intelligence and would overpower the human with its physical strength alone.

Either way, Blitz still had nearly enough energy to vaporize it. Through some miraculous fluke, he had managed to contain all of the energy that he had almost launched at Apocalypse, just before the Dragon of Kings had ripped out his shoulder. If only that cursed beast had remained behind… I shall have my chance at revenge later, he told himself. For now, this blue dragon is my foremost prey.

Graciously, slowly, he raised a hand in the direction of Aquamere. It snorted in curiosity, leaning its head close to the human’s. What do you plan to do, child? it said mockingly, the words echoing in Blitz’ mind as though they were thought rather than said. Pet me to death? Its reptilian lips parted in a condescending grin, revealing interlocking daggerlike teeth stained with blood and flesh.

Blitz’ grin matched that of his opponent; inwardly, he laughed at the enemy’s disgraceful folly. “You’ll regret that, dragon!” He poured extra venom into the word dragon, striking at Aquamere’s pride with all the brutality he could muster.

KRACK-A-BOOM!

A concussive burst was unleashed directly in the dragon’s mouth, thrusting open its jaws and shattering teeth. Were the beast’s skull any less durable, its head would have burst apart from the blast. Rearing its neck back in shock and agony, it tried to roar; but its tongue had been vaporized, and all that came out was a high-pitched whine. Though Aquamere flailed in pain, it still possessed the consciousness to lash out at Blitz with both claws.

His fiery attack had been almost strong and well-aimed enough to finish it. Therefore, he had not seen the blue’s retaliation coming, and did not have time to raise his guard before its front-right foot slammed into him. Blitz careened into a nearby tree, splintering the bark and dropping to the ground, almost losing consciousness. Lifineck quickly perched next to him and tended to his headwound. Blitz offered the dragon silent thanks, but the white dragon was too busy focusing on his wound.

Meanwhile, Tokumaru unleashed a deadly series of slashes at Death’s head. Blitz had not realized it before, but the samurai had been holding off Death while the swordsman unleashed his wrath upon Aquamere. Without cover, though, Tokumaru was subject to the furious, blind slashing of the blue dragon’s claws. Blitz watched, his vision slightly hazy, as his ally jumped to avoid Aquamere’s razor-sharp talons, then countered a quick snap of Death’s jaws with a mid-air vertical slash. He landed, then leapt aside as a blast of water slammed into the ground. That kind of power would have flattened him, thought Blitz, vaguely reminded of the strength a fire hydrant was capable of.

Go, your wound is healed! commanded Lifineck. Blitz began to utter his thanks, but the white bounded into the air without another word. It perched atop a mighty oak nearby, watching the samurai desperately defend against the unrelenting attacks of Death and Aquamere.

Summoning a small amount of heat energy as he ran, Blitz played out his attack in his mind. Satisfied with the course of action he planned to take, he put on an extra burst of speed; the wind leapt past him, but was unable to hold the swordsman back. Dashing past Tokumaru, who was trying to hold back Death’s open-mouthed fangs, he unleashed the fire he had accumulated into the blue’s face again. As it reared back in surprise, its neck straightening out vertically, Blitz leapt up and hurtled through the air. With stunning precision, he slashed his blade at Aquamere’s neck as he sailed past, landing on one knee. It had all taken but one second.

For an instant, the blue stared up at the sky, its neck unmoving. Then, the studded aquamarine growth slid from the point of impact and crashed to the ground. A moment later, the headless body followed suit, fountaining blood in a growing pool.

Death relented its assault on Tokumaru to glance in shock at the human’s swift dispatch of the blue, and was quickly rewarded for its complacency with a swift flaming slash to the knees. Even more surprised, and without the support of its legs, it collapsed to the ground, eyes wide in fear. Tokumaru leapt into the air, and with a throaty battlecry, slammed the Hinotama into its skull. Crimson fluids spurted from the wound as the dragon promptly died.

Both of the corpses began to burn with blue and black flames, respectively, and eventually were consumed by the roaring fires.

Now, Blitz and Tokumaru stood before Drago with no obstacles in their path. Even Drago was surprised at their quick and efficient dispatch of his reptilian servants. The elite forces of Universi… gone, in the blink of an eye. Scowling at the two humans, the Dragon Overlord felt his blood boil more hotly.

His cry of fury held no words, but the message it carried was received with crystal clarity. Flames of all hues and shades smoldered at his feet, slowly growing to encompass the Overlord, merging until they were a single blazing white flame. Then, within that fiercely burning furnace, Drago began to change and to grow…

OOC: God mode time! (If I'm not mistaken, Lifinek was dead... ) Pardon the continuity errors, if any, in here WOTS, because i mention Drake and Amy. You ARE still looking for Drake, correct? Well, let's just pretend you are, it fits in with the post's chronology.

BiC: Tokumaru looked down at the cold, desolate ground and sighed, knowing what was beginning to happen. Drago's body began to enlarge extremely fast, and his blood-red eyes transformed into a gleaming, lust-ridden shine. Many large spikes grew high on his back, whilst thousands upon thousands of tiny spikes lined beneath and beside them. His scales transformed into a black armor of pure chaos, and the Dragonic Edge increased in magnitude; the Whip of Chaos was so long anyway, that it was a perfect fit for the huge Overlord.

Tokumaru looked up at Drago and smiled, the flames around the Hinotama licking all the way up his magic arm. Slowly, he began to laugh. Soon, his laughs evolved into a chuckle, and then into an insane laguh after that. The samurai held his blazing Hinotama out towards the mighty Dragon, and spoke.

"This is how it is, eh?" he said angrily, "A final standstill between the Heavenflame Samurai, the Dragonic Overlord, and the Wielder of the Sword. Well, Drago-dono, I do hope you're proud of yourself. You've banished everything about your human form -- the only form that cared about anything other than your ends and Eyliden -- from you now. And you know what? I couldn't be happier. I met you when you were human, Drago, and I intend to kill you as a Dragon, lest my spirit be crushed and my hopes be dashed."

The Hinotama's flames then enveloped his whole body, and before the samurai disappeared from sight, he said, "Are you ready? Die at the hands of the humans you so hate!"

It was then that a flurry of flames exploded around Tokumaru, setting everything ablaze. Even the quaint snow that lightly fell from the sky evaporated under this heat, and soon, a downpour of cold rain began to fall. This doused neither the Heavenflame Samurai's hopes or flames, and as the fire subsided, he was revealed. Both Blitz and Drago had seen this before; the wild Eternal Inferno had returned, making The Hinotama become a raging flame on midnight hilt, and causing flames to circle around the samurai constantly.

It was then that Tokumaru turned to Blitz, and spoke again.

"Wielder of the Sword," he said, "enter the phase you call 'Celestial'. It is the only possible way to defeat this monster, once and for all."

Blitz looked deep into Tokumaru's eyes, and was struck with a jolt of guilt and nervousness. Could he really become a Celestial again? It was definitely possible, but... could he regain control? He might just go out and kill both Tokumaru and Drago, and then go on to ravage the land, and would most likely die of insanity.

"No." he said bluntly to Tokumaru, "I cannot. I will most likely loose control again, and we can't take that risk, now can we? I will get as close to Celestial as I can, but I cannot, and WILL not become one."

The samurai nodded at his friend, and looked to the Dragonic Overlord. "Well then, Drago." he said, "It is time for the End of Your Reign."

OOC: Ok, Drago's up.

OoC: Yeah Lifineck was already gone by your post WOTS, but we'll pretend he died thereafter.

BiC: Drago watched the humans in plain anguish. He had befriended one and his wife slightly befriended the other. Then Drago's dark heart felt a slight jolt. She was coming... Eyliden was coming. He would have to hurry this one up.

"So this is were you two shall fall. You shall hit the ground hard and I'll feed your flesh, blood, and spirit to my dragons! SUFFER!" Drago cried out as he ran towards the two.

Blitz was on fire, like Ascension with a bonus. He dodged to the side and leapt for Drago as Tokumaru engaged the dragon.

Drago jumped up and landed on Blitz. He stomped his foot down and grinded it into the mortals back. Tokumaru sliced his sword at him, but Drago blocked and sent a fury of stabs at the samurai.

Blitz threw off Drago and regained his foothold. He ran at Drago and spun his sword around so that he couldn't miss. Drago only laughed a cracked the whip at Blitz, causing him to stumble slightly.

Tokumatu let out a war cry as he sliced at Drago's back, but Drago rolled to the side. He turned around to confront the samurai. They both stared at each other for a moment before blocking and attacking each other again.

There were no words as the two met in a deadlock. Drago pushed as hard as he could, but he couldn't completely overpower the flame swordsman. Drago chuckled as he ducked under the lock and slide under Tokumaru. The Overlord turned and sliced the back of Tokumaru's knee caps.

Tokumaru let out a small cry of surprise and fell to the ground. That was a dirty move, it had been very cheap too. Blitz then jumped in to Tokumaru's aid.

They both stood up and fought againsst Drago in a sword fight. Energies of powerful measure were unleashed when the swords met. Drago began to sweat from the intense flames and using the strength he had to to fight them off.

Tokumaru tried to jump for a strong vertical slash, but Drago whip caught him around the ankle and flung him on Blitz.

Drago laughed a stabbed his sword into Blitz left arm. Luckily not his sword arm, but it still hurt. He let out a small yelp of pain and jumped to his feet. They would have to think of something fast if they wanted to defeat this beast.

Tokumaru slid under the Overlord and stood up. He dodged Drago tail and stabbed it so that it quit moving. Drago roared in pain. He turned to hit the Heavenflame warrior, but was sent back a few steps when Tokumaru drove his sword through the Overlord's thick chest armor.

"AUGH!" Drago yelled out in pain as he fell on one knee.

Blitz raised his sword to finish off the Overlord, but Drago moved quickly out of the way and rammed Blitz in this stomach with his horns. Sure it wasn't very strong, but it knocked the wind out of Blitz.

"YOU... SHALL NOT WIN!!!!" Drago yelled in pure rage.

He felt her presence. Eyliden was only five minutes away from sight. It was time for his true power to crush these two inferior mortals.

OoC: In case you're wondering where the idea for this came from, I've been playing RE4. Regenerators creep me out. *Cringes* They're the only enemy that I still peek around corners for, even though I've beaten the game three times.

BiC: Now Blitz was met with a very pressing problem. Tokumaru seemed to believe that the swordsman could simply ascend at will, which was not at all the case. In fact, ascending by one’s own will was impossible; at the very least, it was impossible to achieve the degree of power required for such a feat. Why, even the great Celestials above had achieved their might through the Godmaker. The process was completely spontaneous; Blitz had no control over it whatsoever. Yet at the same time, the swordsman could not see himself surviving this battle with the Dragon Overlord without achieving something dangerously close to Celestiality. He was not sure he could come so close without fully achieving the greatest possible physical form; and that frightened him. After seeing what he was capable of while having such incredible power, he had sworn never to allow himself to ascend to that level again. But, contradictory to what he had promised himself, it was now necessary. And so began yet another of these oh-so-common inner battles that he was so sick of.

But it could only get worse from there. Suddenly, an unholy black aura appeared around the Overlord. Even Blitz, who was not capable of perceiving such auras, could see it clearly with his own two eyes. As if very weary, the dragon fell down on his haunches and began to pant; Blitz knew better than to be deceived by this act. Something was happening to the Overlord, and it would not bode well for either he or Tokumaru. Yet Blitz could not help but feel mild amusement as he beheld the twenty-foot Drago keeling over.

There was a sickening ripping sound, and a thin stream of blood seeped from a tear that had appeared in Drago’s scaly skin. He gripped his arm, grunting in mild discomfort. Then, his eyes widened in what could only be described as morbid dread. Suddenly, the dragon’s body began to convulse wildly, and dents burst from his scaly torso.

“GRAAAAAAAAAAH!!” cried Drago in excruciating pain, rising to his feet and flailing as something burst through the tough scaly flesh, puncturing through his chest and sending a seemingly unending fountain of blood from the wound. The protrusion that had caused him so much suffering was a stretch of skin—an inverted, very dangerous-looking spike with a sharp claw-like tip. Following it were a large number of more identical spikes which sheared apart the scales on his arms and legs with bubbly sounds. Blood erupted from the Overlord’s body in waves, some small bits of flesh spattering the two fighters who stood before the writhing dragon. By the time the blood had run dry and the pain had stopped, the Dragon Overlord was covered in lethal spikes; his very body itself was a weapon. From above each eye, an additional horn ripped through flesh, making Drago cry out in agony again. But it was not over yet—more deadly protrusions tore through the flesh down his spine, threshing out even more crimson body fluids.

The Overlord was on the ground, panting in excruciating pain; but it appeared that the transformation was over. Slowly, Drago used his arms to bring himself to his feet. Now, as if he were not already ridiculously tall, he stood a good three or four feet higher. In addition, his muscles now bulged beneath the battalion of spikes that covered his arms, legs, abdomen and torso. He was standing in a pool of his own blood, but the Overlord did not seem to care. As the pain began to subside, Drago’s agonized expression vanished, replaced now with a grin of malice and thirst for blood.

Blitz could hardly stand the sight himself; he had seen blood on countless occasions, but this was grotesque! Inside, his stomach churned, and he had to work to keep down its contents. Gripping the hilt of his Supernova, he focused entirely on the dragon standing tall and proud before him. Understandably, Tokumaru took less offense to the gore piled around Drago. After all, the samurai had likely seen more gruesome things in his life, given the nature of his past.

The situation was looking rather grim for the two heroes. Unless Drago did something particularly awful, Blitz could not see himself ascending soon. Adversely, he wished that the Overlord would utter some foul insult to Amy to force the anger out of him. But this dragon was not so foolish any longer; with this new, disturbing form undoubtedly came a boost of intelligence.

But now was not the time for such thoughts. Though he did not expect to fare well, he could not allow himself to be complacent. No more haughty remarks or declarations of superiority, whether they be of power or morality, could help him now. This was a serious matter; there was no longer any room for words.

Determination flowed through Blitz just as his blood, filling every nerve and every blood vessel. If he could not ascend, then at least he would give his all for the sake of victory. He gripped the hilt of his sword even more tightly, watching as the Dragon Overlord’s eyes narrowed to slits. Drago responded by clenching his fists. Blitz was hardly aware of the samurai next to him. He had fought with his brother on numerous occasions; synchronous in combat was second-nature.

Then, without warning, one of the spikes on Drago’s chest lurched toward the swordsman. He leapt aside, but the sharp talon on its tip nicked his leg. Just as he hit the ground, another three of the spikes hurtled through the air at him. It was too late to dodge!

SHING!

Drago roared a deep guttural roar of pain as his flesh was severed. Tokumaru was standing in front of the swordsman, sword still in attacking stance. Three of the grotesque protrusions were on the ground in front of Blitz, writhing as though the nerves were still connected to their owner’s nervous system. Recovering from the pain of having his spikes slashed in twine, Drago centered his eyes on the two fighters. They narrowed to slits again, turning from a haunting green to a sinister red…

OoC: Hmm... A post with absolutely no dialogue... How unusual for me. ^_^

OOC: I bet you. I just bet you. I bet you there will be more than 5 continuity errors in here. No money of course. Let it be known that the realm of Universi and the Dragonic Edge all came from my head, not Drago's.

BiC: Drago's body surged with a twisted formation of Dragon-mana and Necro-mana, sending dark plumes of chaotic Energy into the air. If Drago did not act soon, his whole body would be transfused into Universi, where it would wander the Dragonic Realm forever as a collection of Chaotic energy, or Omni-mana. But the Dragonic Overlord was indeed ready to annihilate the sadistic mortals which plagued him so. If he didn't, his only love, Eyliden, would undoubtedly become caught in the crossfire.

Tokumaru, who had healed Drago's wounds alongside Eyliden on numerous occasions, also felt her tender aura approaching slowly. It was only a matter of time before she arrived, and he wanted to be well and gone before she saw her husband dead. But it would take more than a godlike man and a swordsman to defeat the Overlord. He needed Blitz to become as close to Celestiality as possible, but he couldn't do it unless Blitz was angered beyond belief. His well of thoughts ran dry, however, and he could think of no way to set Blitz off without having the near-Celestial attack him.

It was then that he took a drastic move, and placed his sword to his face; a light green glow radiated around his whole body, and the Sôryûsen Ryû appeared once again as his aide. Tokumaru looked to the doppelganger, and nodded. It was a very desperate plan, and, being Tokumaru's mana, the Sôryûsen knew exactly what to do and when to do it. But it would be very difficult, and Tokumaru had no idea if it would work.

"Let it enter your body!" said Tokumaru to Blitz, who had just began to see the Sôryûsen flying towards him. Blitz had run out of ideas to defeat Drago as well, and stood taut as the mana of the Heavenflame Samurai entered his body, and got inside his subconscious. The Sôryûsen then saw millions of images; some were of war, and some were of peaceful times, and then there were ones that were larger in scale, such as a traumatic scene with a woman dead, and covered and blood, and a man in meticulous dark armor standing near.

Was that woman on the ground the "Amy" that Blitz had always spoken of? The Sôryûsen did not toil on these thoughts, however, and moved over to other images. At last, he found the one that he believed would solve the problem. A rather tall man stood with Blitz, chatting on a normal setting. Of course, it was viewed from first person from Blitz' eyes, but it gave off the same feeling nonetheless. Blitz seemed to befriend this man, and once the Sôryûsen heard the man say, "Well then, brother", he instantly knew what he had to do. The face and body of the man were locked inside the Sôryûsen and Tokumaru's memories, and the more difficult phase of the plan was going to begin.

As the Sôryûsen left Blitz' body and reentered Tokumaru's body, who was fighting Drago, mind you, the samurai lied through his teeth.

"Sorry about that," he said, dodging a swipe by Drago, "I... I just wanted to see if you had any plans in your head."

Blitz put on a queer face and slashed upwards towards Drago. "Couldn't you have just asked?"

Tokumaru thought of an excuse on the dot. "Well, I wouldn't be able to get the reckless ones out of you, for fear that you might hold them back out of the danger that they possessed."

As Blitz rolled back to dodge another one of Drago's blows, Tokumaru quickly evacuated the Sôryûsen from his body, and sent it into the trees. It then took on the form of Drake, the Harbinger of Darkness. As it came from the Trees, Tokumaru got Drago's attention, hence, Blitz focused entirely on the Sôryûsen, which he believed to actually be his twin brother.

"Drake? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be back at Base 17 with Amy?"

The Sôryûsen laughed, for it was quite a good actor, and could change its voice to someone it has seen or met. "Please." he said, "Do you honestly believe that Amy is still alive? Sure, you resurrected her and all with that Golden Power, but you know what? All of the energy within that Power was transferred to Amy the moment she was brought back."

Blitz put on a worried face. "What the hell are you saying, Drake?"

The Sôryûsen glared at Blitz. "Oh, come on. You really think that I would let that up? She is, or... heh, was a powerhouse of energy. By killing her, I was able to-"

Blitz then began to scream. "What the hell, Drake?! You would never do something like that! If you would open your eyes, you could see I'm in the middle of a very important battle. This is no time for your stupid jokes!"

It was then that the Sôryûsen called upon a small amount of its mana and, using the image of Amy he saw, made a bloody version of her head, holding it out to Blitz. "Really, now? Pathetic! Now that she's dead, the Golden Power is all mine! The Alliance, the Dark Horizon... Stupid excuses for people! I am now even more strong than Kyros, Blitz!"

It was then that something snapped in the back of his head. His brother would never do something so evil... ever. But then how did he have Amy's head? It didn't make any sense at all. His love, the one he had worked so hard to bring back, was dead again. In a flurry of emotions, the Wielder of the Sword was cast into Celestiality, but somehow, in Blitz mind, he managed to hold back.

Don't loose control! Get right under Celestial, and don't go further!

And his wishes were granted, as he stepped up not even two energites (OOC: the measurement of mana BiC: ) away from Celestiality. But as he opened his eyes, Drake had disappeared, and in his place was a winged, transparent-green Tokumaru. Blitz' mind was sent into a path of relief, and he turned around to the samurai. In truth, Amy and Drake were still at base 17, and Blitz now knew this. But at least now, he had the power to defeat Drago.

Angered at the samurai for toying around with his emotions, he punched Tokumaru across the face and screamed:

"YOU ASS!"

OOC: I was hoping that even though Blitz knew that it was fake, he could still remain Ascended. If not, I have an Alternate route in which I can take. I told you. More than 5 continuity errors, right?

OoC: It's time to kick you guys @$$! Lol.

BiC: Drago watched the two with little care. Time was just about as close to out as it gets. If Eyliden were looking for him, she would truly find him no problem in this form. He swore he saw her for a moment before some bushes, but he hoped he was imagining things.

"Sorry to cut the fun short, but I got something more important that you two to attend!" Drago yelled at the two warriors as he dodged another of Tokumaru slashes and parried Blitz.

The three fought like demons from Hell. They tried their hardest to overcome each other. Drago fought with more energy and purpose then he ever had, but Blitz and Tokumaru fought knowing they would die if they failed.

Drago dodged under Blitz' sword, but was caught off guard as the HeavenFlame samurai thrust his sword down into Drago's back. The Overlord let out a roar of pain and turned to rip the sword off.

Drago engaged both warriors at the same time. He spun around to dodge and hacked at them with all his strength.

Tokumaru and Blitz had no hope of blocking Drago. His strength overpowered theirs by tenfold. Luckily they both used their great speed to dodge Drago's might.

"Drago, you can't win just fall over and accept death!" Tokumaru shouted as he brought his down on clear air.

"Ha. Don't even talk mortal. Your words are so worthless and annoying that they’re worse than your sword!" Drago replied with an evil sneer.

Tokumaru's faced slightly twisted in anger and hatred for the Overlord. He ducked under Drago's tail, revived, and drove his sword into one of Drago's knees.

"AUGH! YOU SHALL NOT LIVE TO SEE TOMARROW!" Drago yelled in pure rage. She could see them. Eyliden was at the edge of the clearing and she could see them fighting.

Drago roared in anger and frustration as he brought his claws down in a wrath upon Tokumaru. Drago completely demolished the samurai's chest armor and shirt. Drago's claws reached for his bare flesh before Blitz tackled Tokumaru out of the way.

Blitz saved Tokumaru, yes, but he also had done a little more damage for the little thing a few minutes ago.

"We even yet?" Tokumaru asked in slight pain.

"Not even close." Blitz replied with a smirk as he helped Tokumaru up, "but we'll take care of that after we take down this bastard."

OoC: OK. Guys I'm running short on ideas so let's start finishing this up.
