Anceint vs. Chaos (Drago)

OoC: Let us try this again Drago-sama. You said you'd respond this time, and I hope you do. Here goes... Using Zorlo, link in sig.

BiC: The aura master walked silently as he looked upon the massive mountain range and mountainous path that stood before him. The small camp that fencer was staying at was comfortable, but the fencer wanted to head into the mountains to get to training himself again. The natives, who's camp the aura master was staying at, warned him to not foolishly head in without a guide, mostly because of stories of what lived in the mountains in this area. The fencer sat around a fire with two of the natives who were discussing what exactly it was they had supposedly seen in the mountain range whence last they had been up there; however, they did not speak of it to loudly, to avoid worrying the younger children and older people of the small camp like town.

"I heard that it was some kind of a man with a massive sword that has been killing everything that comes near him with just a touch of his hand," one whispered, not making any real indication of what this man looked like or what he was.

"I heard that whatever it was looked like a dragon and burst whatever it met into a strange colored flame with just a gaze," the second man said, pointing a stick at the first. "Anyway, what would a person be doing in the mountains, a dragon would make much more sense!"

"Like hell it would, dragons don't like the cold. Anyway, they say the man has some kind of odd black, almost fire like, energy running around his body."

"I'm telling you, its a dragon," the second man yelled.

"Human!" The first man declared.

"Both," the fencer told them, taking a bite of his breakfast.

"What do you mean both, boy?!" The first man said as he sat back down upon his stone.

"I mean, he is a dragon that can take a human form odds are. I've heard about it once or twice before from people that have seen things like what you two are describing."

"Really?" the second man said as he sat back down as well.

"Well, if you really want to know, there is only one way to know," the fencer told the two black haired natives. "We have to go up and investigate ourselves," the fencer said, brushing off his jacket and standing up.

"Good idea," the two men said in unison as they got up and the three headed into the pass, just outside of the camp. They did not know what it was they searched for, but they snow that began to fall as the three followed the path was annoying, namely because it limited visibility. They began to head higher and higher until they found themselves lost. The snow began to fall faster and faster, quickly becoming a blizzard, which worried the green haired man. Suddenly, he caught sight of something, a cave, but it looked fresh, so how could that be.

"A cave, lets go hide," he told the two men as the three people headed into the cavern and sat down, drying themselves off from the wet outside. The green haired man examined what he could see of the cave and looked around at the walls of it. He noticed that the walls were strangely smooth cut, and the fencer did not know how this was possible. He ran his hands across the walls, and then came to a startling conclusion. "We've just walked into someone's home," he told them in a worried tone.

OoC: It's ShowTime! Let the fight begin!

BiC: In the deep mountains of the far east, the Forgotten Shore, as it is called...a great history surrounded one area in which a great power now lived.

Many years ago there was a creature by the name of Drago Universi. He was well known as the Dragonic Overlord throughout his disturbingly long life on the earth. He fought many battles and waged many wars, killing thousands in dark years when he was possesed by his own lust for power and the powers of chaos. It wasn't long before a dear friend of his, though his worst rival, and another wielder of flame sought him out in battle, striking the Overlord down in front of his own home.

That was the day that world thought Drago's reign had ended, that the Overlord was forever gone, now to be remembered as a disturbing and confusing hero, yet a great plague to the world. Though it was not so, as the Black Dragon of Chaos broke free of his tomb, a loud explosion ringing throughout the mountains as he swiftly disappeared, no one ever knowing what happened to his supposed corpse.

For many years Drago wandered the earth, in search of a place where he could live undisturbed by challenging warriors and powerful wizards, a place of peace. The Overlord heard of the Forgotten Shore, and immediately set of, dressed as a strange man robed in black.

When Drago arrived at the land, he quickly discovered it was not so peaceful as he would've hoped. A great battle waged between man and beast was taking place, mortals trying to take the land of great, terrible monsters of dark lands.

The Overlord quickly took up arms against the monsters, attacking all of the nesting grounds and most powerful beasts. He ended up driving them out of the area, knowing the humans would be much more easy to live with, but it was not so. The humans saw, and fled in terror of Drago's power, only a tribe remaining in the upper areas of the mountains.

The Overlord took refuge in a cave just above the village, keeping it safe, yet being hidden. Though few found him, Drago sadly had to slaughter them, though he missed a few that spread wild stories, and now, a strange visitor had come to the village, and Drago now smelled a strange scent in his cave...

____________________________

The Overlord's eyes snapped open as he heard the sound of footsteps enter his lonely home. Drago growled quietly in annoyance as he slowly rose from his humble bed of snow, yawning as his bones cracked from being stiff from the cold.

"Wretched mortals! I save they're lives from ruthless beasts, and they repay me by waking me up every time they get the chance," Drago grumbled to himself in disgust as his aura sprang to life around him.

The Overlord walked towards the entrance of his cave, his tail silently swishing side to side, his wings still twitching from being so cold and stiff. The white haired humanoid's fake flesh shook all over until he turned the final corner, seeing two men sitting in front of a fire.

It was over in a flash, the two villagers’ heads rolled off their shoulders onto the freezing ground with the sound of blood spurting from the stumps that were once necks.

The Dragonic Humanoid watched in satisfaction, looking up to feel a sudden stab of surprise. Another human stood against the wall his eyes on Drago.

"So what is the name of the foolish mortal who dare walk into my undisturbed home? I hope you can fight, or I, Drago Universi, will spill your blood upon this very rock!" Drago shouted, flinging the blood of the villagers off his sword.

OoC: I've finally posted! Bring it on!

OoC: YES! Now then, to fight the most powerful warrior I'll be fighting for... Odds are, a good long while. Humanoid form to, just what I wanted to fight against, thanks. En Guarde, Drago-sama.

BiC: The aura master turned to face the strange humanoid that had easily dealt with the two other humans that had accompanied the fencer. The blood that spilled from their necks as the heads of the two rolled about on the ground froze nigh instantaneously as it began to spurt. The temperature was obviously very cold, but within his heavy, triple lined jacket, the fencer felt little more then slightly nippy. The swordsman turned and faced what lived in this cavern; a man, who from all appearances, was human; but something was very different about him. About the body of the strange figure was a foreboding, almost evil, black aura which made the fencer slightly anxious to know who or what this new foe he was faced with is. The aura master smiled as he placed his hand on the hilt of his rapier, getting ready for combat with a person, that albeit the fencer not knowing of him, would prove to be more powerful then anyone the green haired man had faced to date.

"So what is the name of the foolish mortal who dare walk into my undisturbed home? I hope you can fight, or I, Drago Universi, will spill your blood upon this very rock!" The strange warrior shouted, flinging the blood of the villagers off his sword.

Drago Universi?! Cenarius asked the fencer, his voice quivering with great fear simply upon hearing the name of the overlord.

Master Cenarius, who is Drago Universi? I've never heard of him, The aura master admitted.

That is because you are far too young to know of how powerful he is. My mother told me that one million years ago, the new dragonic overlord was born, but I cannot believe that he could still be alive. The word circulating around the Gods was that Drago was slain by two fire innates. Blitz Keir, the Wielder of the Sword; and Tokumaru Kyo, the Heaven Flame Samurai. This bodes ill, for whence last he was vanquished, the overlord was still filled with great evil. Zorlo, you are not ready to even begin to contend with the power he contains. Flee now, before you find yourself dead, his royal dragon lineage makes him more powerful then any foe you've ever met before. The God's obvious fear didn't worry the fencer in the slightest. The green haired man merely smiled as he looked upon the dragonic overlord and drew his rapier.

Do not worry master, I shall not be felled so easily. His power sounds most impressive, and I am not going to pass up a chance to test my own powers against him, Zorlo told the God. Cenarius went silent as the fencer examined Drago. The giant man wore extremely eloquent armor that shined as the fencer looked at it. The armor, both black and gold in color, was surrounded by the same dark aura that covered his whole being; but the fencer wanted to see just how powerful he was and if there was any possibility that he could begin to match blows with this great warrior. Offering another smile, the fencer bowed quickly and stated, "I am Zorlo, fencer of Tasogare and master of the Ancient Aura. It is an honor to meet you Drago." The fencer rose and examined the lordly looking fighter's sword, which was unrealistically long. The green haired man had never seen a sword that was so massive in stature, and also knew it held some awesome power within it that the green haired man couldn't completely grasp.

Zorlo, if you truly wish to fight with Drago, then I leave you with this word of advice. He is both ancient and powerful, do not, at any time, underestimate him. The instant you do, you will find yourself dead. Now, go forth my hero of the human world and show me your power, Cenarius told Zorlo in great confidence. The God feared in his heart that the powerful overlord would destroy the fencer, but he could not let that bother him now, for he needed to believe in the aura master if the swordsman were to overcome this great obstacle.

The fencer pointed his rapier at the dragonic overlord and slid his right foot back. The left handed fencer readied to engage the overlord, and made the foolish mistake of striking first against the massive warrior. The fencer burst forwards at his foe with great speed, swinging his sword down upon the dragon with as great speed as he could.

OoC: That should do for now. This shall be a most awesome battle I think.

OoC: Sorry it took so long, here it is.

BiC: Drago merely grinned as Zorlo foolishly charged, raising his thin sword in an attempt to gain the first blow. The Overlord very easily sidestepped at the last moment, astounding the fencer at how fast the humanoid was in heavy armor. Though that was nothing compared to the surprise Zorlo met when a tail similar to the devils flew up and smashed the fencer in the face. That ended up forcing his body to keep going as his head flew upwards, resulting in the fencer sliding into the rock wall, slightly damaging one of his legs.

"Fool! You actually believe you can even touch me!" Drago yelled as he grabbed Zorlo and threw him across the cave, the fencer causing a large crack in the wall where he had hit it.

As the Overlord was about to advance on Zorlo, he paused, smelling the fencer and growling as he detected much hidden power, not to mention a slight taint of demonic blood in the human's veins.

"So... you're not entirely human? Well, mortal, that would explain why your back didn't just snap in two!" Drago laughed as he jumped at the fencer with immense speed, slamming his blade on what he thought was Zorlo.

Ha...foolish mor-...What?! Drago thought as he suddenly realized he had merely crashed through rock, his large sword lodged into the wall.

Zorlo had a grin on his face as he saw how stunned the Overlord was, though that astonishment was quickly replaced by anger. The fencer wasted no time and quickly struck many powerful strokes, the sword of metal against metal ranged through the cave.

The fencer was stunned when he realized that the armor of Drago, D’lasenhilde, merely had a few dents in it. As Zorlo was thinking about what Drago's armor was made of the Overlord ripped his sword free of the rock, flinging a large chunk at the confused mortal.

As Zorlo made a quick dodge, moving just enough to dodge the large piece of earth, he turned and, for the first time since Drago's death, the Dragonic Edge smashed against another blade, sparks flew and a dark wind stirred at the blade coming to life once again.

"I must admit, mortal, you are perhaps worthy of my blade, but first, you'll have to get past this!" Drago hissed as his black tail stabbed for Zorlo, the fencer just now realizing that not all of Drago was human-looking.

OoC: There ya go, can't wait for your post Zorlo.

The fencer rose to his feet and stared at the powerful warrior before himself. The Aura Master gripped his golden blade tightly and readied himself for round two. This fighter was powerful, swift, and heavily armored, which astonished the green haired man, because the young swordsman was two of these things. The fencer slid his right foot out, gripping his rapier in his left, readying the divine blade for combat; true enough, the warrior ached all over, but he knew that if this creature was truly as evil as the essence that emanated from its sword told, then he could not be allowed to live through this battle, but something worried the fencer, the humanoid had a different aura then his sword, which was utterly unusual.

Let me see what I have learned from my current clashes with this guy. He is strong, fast, and I have yet to damage his armor. At least he isn't as bad as that Sin thing, which could only be hit in its head. But still, something is unnerving about this guy. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm sure I'll learn shortly, the Aura Master told himself as he spun his light blade in the air and pointed it at his foe, slowly preparing for his next string of attacks. The fencer turned his right foot slightly and began his charge.

By the time the youth had struck, the demonic dragon had already made his move, thrusting his armored elbow into the fencer's gut and making the youth slide backwards a good deal, falling to his knees to catch his breath. The Dragonic Overlord didn't wait to long, as he charged, dragging his massive blade along the ground as he moved forwards, making a massive overhead arc as he came upon striking distance to the young warrior.

The green haired man smiled and dodge rolled quickly out of the way, as the dragonic warrior's blade got stuck in the ground, and he turned to face the green haired fencer, who struck at him again, quickly thrusting his sword at the humanoid form, who merely pushed the thin blade out of the way and punched the fencer in the gut, knocking him into the air and throwing him a few feet backwards, where he slammed hard on his back as he landed. "Ow," the fencer groaned as he leapt to his feet and charged, swinging his golden blade wildly at the dragon fighter, who pulled his sword out and guarded the blade, being pushed back a few feet before the fencer leapt back. "You are very powerful. I shall benefit greatly from this battle," the fencer muttered as he side stepped a massive stone piece that was thrown at him by the dragon, the one removed when the Overlord drew his blade from the ground. The fencer's gaze was never broken from the powerful warrior, making sure that the fencer didn't miss anything. A time of silence fell, and suddenly, the fencer charged at the dragonic swordsman.

The dragon side stepped as the fencer swung his sword down and turned himself slightly to guard an oncoming horizontal slash. The massive blade of the dragonic master quickly moved, pushing the youth's sword back, and quickly made its purpose known as it came down towards the fencer, threatening to cleave him in half.

The fencer rolled out of the way of the attack and thrust his sword at the dragonic lord's head, but soon found himself being thrown towards the entrance by a quick snap of the Overlord's tail. As the fencer skidded, he looked into his foe's eyes, holding his side. If not for his armor, and his astounding durability, he would have probably been dead by now, but his determination flared up, he would not fall so easily. "Allow me to ask a question," the fencer stated, standing up to his full height and pointing his blade at the giant dragonic warrior. "What brought you here, Drago?" He asked, not a hint of fear in his voice.

OoC: Sorry for the delay.

BiC: The Overlord frowned in slight annoyance as the fencer threw the question at him, as if he wanted to know Drago's reasons for living before he died.

"If you must know, I am guarding the village down below, for with them I can live at peace!" Drago answered as he charged towards the swordsman with amazing speed.

Zorlo's eyes looked slightly confused, the fencer spinning the words the Drago had said as he prepared for the humanoid's charged. There was only a moment of silence before Drago's blade cut through the air, meeting Zorlo's in another mighty clash, the fencer's arm aching just from Drago's blows.

"If it weren't for you people, I wouldn't have to kill anymore! But no, you have to come and disturb me, trying to make the world hunt me again!" Drago informed Zorlo as he tried to win the sword lock.

Once again the fencer was surprised at the Overlord's true intentions, confused by the auras surrounding him yet. Though that didn't change the situation, the fencer suddenly having a battle plan, dodging to the left, which let Drago only have the option of tumbling forward, right into a stone wall.

"Well, unfortunately I can't die here and now!" Zorlo yelled at the humanoid as he pulled another blade out and let out a loud yell as he swung his swords in an X, a sudden blue mark flying out, crashing into Drago's armored back, sinking him further into the stone.

It was frustrating for Drago, as he soon discovered he was stuck, trying to break the strong stone as he choked slightly, being crushed into the wall by Zorlo's attack.

As the Overlord struggled, the fencer grinned as he saw his chance to damage Drago severely, but his sudden luck slipped away as he saw the bodies of the two natives begin to move, their hands twitching and their skin slowly melting away, all the way down to the bone.

"Rise again, you mortal fools, and serve your new master! Kill the one named Zorlo!" Drago yelled from within the stone, his eyes suddenly starting to turn red.

How dare that mortal trap me with this trickery! It's not even magic! GRAH! Drago thought in complete anger as his eyes suddenly went red, his body going limp.

As the rising dead distracted the fencer, he didn't notice the body of the Overlord going limp, a mere sudden before the loud explosion of him breaking from the stone wall.

Zorlo starred in slight satisfaction as he saw blood coming from the humanoid's nose, but a second later was disturbed by Drago's glowing red eyes. A low growl coming from the Overlord's throat soon followed, not to mention the two body's of then natives that now walked towards Zorlo, wielding their crude axes.

One thought ran through Drago's mind as he looked at Zorlo,

Blood...

Glowing red eyes... that is very worrying, the human told himself as he kept his eyes on the humanoid dragon, who walked towards him. The fencer moved one eye, looking back slight to take note of the skeletons that were coming to try to kill him. And he summoned skeletons... This guy is really powerful. It is hard to believe that one creature could be so powerful. I'd best be careful, the Aura Master whispered to himself, spinning his short sword in the palm of his hand as he watched the red eyed Overlord slowly stand silently as the undead made their move to strike.

It wasn't long, no more then maybe a few seconds, before the skeleton's attacked, and quickly found themselves cut into small pieces, but as the fencer turned to face the dragon, he found himself looking at nothing. Slowly the fencer looked to his side and found his foe, who quickly swung an armored forearm into the fencer's chest, throwing the green haired man out of the cave, and back into the blizzard outside. As the Dragonic Master trudged past, the skeletons rebuilt themselves to serve their new master as best they could. The Overlord spread his wings, his glowing eyes never letting the fencer out of their merciless gaze.

The fencer slowly rose, holding his chest in pain, knowing that the dragon's powers were amazing, but now his strength and speed were something that Zorlo had never seen before. What the hell was that? He was on one side of the cave one second, and then a few instances later, he's next to me, and he hit me hard enough to send me outside of the cave with one arm. This guy is in his own league of power, I'd better be more careful, the fencer told himself, picking up his sword and short sword, readying himself to fight the Overlord again, and knowing that there had to be some way to even the odds.

The Dragonic Overlord emerged from the cavern, and behind him followed his new slaves, the skeletons that he had made from the men that had accompanied Zorlo into the mountain. He let out an angry roar as he stepped foot outside the cave and revealing to the green haired man the dragon's black aura. The demonic presence made the fencer, along with the blizzard raging around them, seem to shiver. The Dragon Lord moved, bursting forwards and bringing his massive blade down, locking it with the fencer's two swords, and putting the two of them in a powerful weapons lock. The humanoid's weapon was locked up to the about the midway point, trapped between the fencer's two weapons, which the fencer gripped tightly as the red eyed dragon quickly pulled his sword back, skidding between the shoulder and neck of the fencer, slicing into the fencer's armor and leaving burn marks in the fencer as the demon pulled back and made a horizontal swing.

The Aura Master fell to the ground holding his wound, his sword laying on the ground as the monstrous being's sword came towards the green haired man's head. I can't... let it end like this! the green haired being said as a green, flame like aura suddenly burst from around the human as he jumped up evading the sword, and moving to kick the Overlord in the face, but was easily repelled by the demonic aura that protected him. The Aura Master fell to the ground, looking at the demon eyed man, who stood over him, about to swing his sword down on the human. The Aura Master quickly placed his hands on his swords, and as the Dragonic Edge came down, the fencer rolled out of the way and wrapped his aura around his swords and then slashed the dragon warrior in an 'X' fashion, releasing two Aura Blades as the fencer did so. "Aura Cross Slash!" the green haired man roared as the green 'X' threw the Dragonic Master back, slamming through the two skeletons, shattering them again, and placing the Overlord back in his cavern.

"This guy is strong, but I cannot lose. He no longer desires to kill, and he doesn't want to be hunted, so I understand him. I, two, know what it is like to be hunted, but I don't think he cares anymore. I have to stop his rampage somehow," the fencer said, breathing hard, but pulling his swords into a defensive stance, getting ready to fight again when his foe emerged next.

OoC: Heh, time for one of my old fashion tricks!

BiC: The Overlord landed with a crash, the side of his armor dented from the strange blow. Drago growled with bloodthirsty rage as he regained his footing, facing the hurt fencer.

Blood... was the only thought that ran through the humanoid's head as he starred at Zorlo hungrily, even drooling slightly.

The fencer nearly panicked, without showing it, trying to think of a way to disable the Overlord's sudden change. He had only heard of something like this once before, but couldn't recall how to reverse it.

"You're a fool! Give me your blood!" Drago yelled as he let out a mighty roar, shaking the whole cavern.

The two undead warriors once again raised themselves, making another attempt to attack Zorlo. This time, the fencer dodged easily and kicked them both, sending the undead warriors crashing down the mountainside.

The young human looked back at Drago, and felt a jolt of feared when he no longer saw the Overlord, who had once again vanished in a mere second. The fencer looked around cautiously, entering the cave with slow, careful steps.

Zorlo walked in, not hearing a sound. It was dead silent, and then, the fencer felt something fall down his shoulder and jumped, looking to see what it was. To his disgust, it was drool, which made him suddenly go stiff, and slowly look up to see the Overlord hanging from the roof with his strangely strong, sharp nails.

The Overlord roared as he dropped down, sinking his teeth in Zorlo's shoulder and clawing his arms, making the fencer cry out as he tried to shake himself of the humanoid. After three, painfully long seconds, Zorlo cut the Overlord’s face, making the rabid creature fall off in an attempt to avoid other wounds.

"Damn," Zorlo whispered as blood ran down his shoulder where the Overlord had bit him.

It was then that the fencer looked at the Overlord in slight anger and pity, realizing that Drago was acting by animal instincts. The young human suddenly had an idea, and charged forward, dodging a cut slash by the humanoid's claws, and barely blocked a slash by the tail, then stabbing his sword in Drago's left wing, trying to make pain wake him up.

It was a dire mistake, as Drago merely roared and became angrier, his eyes bulging. The Overlord spun, backhanding the mortal into a nearby wall, where Drago leapt forward and grabbed the fencer's head, slamming him into the stone twice.

Zorlo managed to kick Drago off of him and charged again, but made a horrible mistake. As he tried to hit Drago's face with his fists, he saw the Overlord grin and snatch him from the air by the neck, holding the fencer up in the air.

"Yes...fool, give me back life! Die!" Drago hissed as a black aura covered Zorlo's aura.

The fencer starred in disbelief as the Overlord's wounds began to heal, but Zorlo also began to panic as he felt himself grow weaker every second, suddenly noticing that his life was being given to Drago.

But that wasn't all that was happening. Drago laughed even harder as his fiery black aura began to burn Zorlo's neck with terrible burns, the fencer's entire body soon being engulfed.

"I hope you've lived a wonderful life, or it's not the suffering of the flesh that'll kill you!" Drago barked as Zorlo felt a horrible feeling beginning to engulf him as the young man soon found himself in the last place he ever wanted to be.

The fencer struggled with everything he had as the Overlord's hand burned his neck. The fencer kicked and grabbed the demonic creatures arm with his hand, trying everything to break his vicious hold. The Aura Master made a gasp for air as the dark aura suddenly flooded in, invading the crevices of his mind. The black energy began to dredge the fencer's long locked away memories, nightmares of days long past. As the dark memories flooded back, the fencer could feel the life exiting his body, making his situation worse then it had previously been.

A scream echoed through the fencer's ears, and one that was all to familiar. His eyes opened wide, empty and drained of any emotion; his eyes were dull and gray, almost like a dead person, but one thing seemed to keep him going, and that was the memory that Drago had unknowingly awakened. Zorlo's auras pulsed, drawing on the strong emotions that began to flood his body. His full power was being awakened again, and he had not seen this much power being born in a long time. "I... watched you die," he told the Overlord, who merely glared at him emptily.

Meanwhile, as the dragon's aura entered the fencer's mind, the green haired man was there again. He was in that forest, watching what transpired in that place again, and he could feel the sadness and anger begin to swell within his body. He watched as the silver blade that had one belonged to his beloved was usurped by that wretched vampire and ran through the fencer's beloved. The Aura Master's eyes filled with rage and sadness as a tear ran down his face as he stared down the red eyes of the Overlord. The wall began to crack as the fencer's powers began to awaken, but much to the dark one's dismay, these powers were not from the fencer himself, but his Ancient Aura crying out in the fencer's pain.

Suddenly, two brilliant golden wings emerged from the fencer's back and a shining golden aura appeared about the green haired man as he raised his right arm to the side of the dragon's forearm and made a quick movement, breaking the Overlord's grip and freeing the fencer, who fell to the ground nonchalantly as the Aura Master brought back his right hand and punched the demonic dragon in the face, driving him into the mountain and cracking the walls. The cracks ran along both sides of the cave, and threatened to make the housing unsound for living, but that didn't matter to either of the warriors, who were merely seeking to destroy each other.

The Aura Master stepped back as the Dragonic Master rose, readying his sword again. "I won't let you take her from ME! Nor will I let you take me from her! Do you understand?" the fencer asked as the dragon swung his massive sword horizontally, but only hit air. Suddenly a powerful punch, along with the hand guard of the fencer's sword, drove powerfully into the lord's face, driving him deep within the cavern wall and causing the whole cave to shake. "Now then, die," the fencer said as he pulled his arm back again and punched the demon one more time, even harder then he had before.

The whole cave shook violently; the fencer looked around and noticed that the battleground was beginning to collapse, and the fencer deactivated his Ancient Aura, now back in control of his mind. The fencer fled as the cavern began to fall apart, and slowly collapsing as the Overlord lay embedded into the rock. As the fencer slid out of the cavern entrance he, slowly turned and rose to his feet, sheathing his rapier and staring at the debris. The whole ordeal after Zorlo's Ancient Aura activated had only taken a minute, which meant the fencer still had time if his foe had somehow survived that attack. With a quick sigh, the fencer turned and started to walk away.

"Good bye, Drago, the Dragonic Overlord," the fencer said as he began to escape. "It is sad that you had to die in such a pathetic way," the fencer muttered.

OoC: Ouch...

BiC: As Zorlo walked away slowly, he felt proud, having killed such a powerful being. Upon that, he felt slightly sad, remembering why the Overlord hid in the cavern, trying just to live alone and at peace.

"You didn't think it be that easy, did you?!" A voice cried out as the rubble of the cave exploded, sending shards everywhere.

The fencer turned to see an extremely wounded Overlord. The humanoid cried out in pure rage, though Zorlo noticed the eyes were no longer glowing red. A deeper, more energetic flame began to engulf Drago, slowly eating up his body in a quick matter of seconds.

"Did you truly believe that you could kill me with such a simple set of attacks?! I am Drago Universi! Now, feel my true wrath!" the flaming creature called out as the flames suddenly extinguished.

Zorlo stood in complete awe upon seeing what arose from the black embers. Drago was covered with black scales, horns stuck out of his head, his claws tapped each other lightly, making a strange sound.

The Overlord grinned, his emerald eyes locking with Zorlo's as a low growl erupted. As he starred at the fencer, Drago reached back and pulled out his disturbing scythe, which quickly caught Zorlo's attention.

"If you thought I was hard with one sword...let's see how you handle me now!" Drago yelled as he flapped his wings, looking down on Zorlo in the blizzard.

As Zorlo prepared for a charge, he saw Drago inhale for a long moment. If any human knows anything about dragons, it's that they breathe some form of fire, so Zorlo jumped just in time as a screaming torrent of fire melted the area where he had been a minute ago.

"Great, now he breathes fire!" Zorlo muttered to himself, barely dodging another breath.

"Oh, I can do so much more then that, mortal!" Drago called out as he aimed his hand at Zorlo, hundreds of beams flying forth at great speeds.

"...Great..." Zorlo whispered as he prepared for the onslaught.

The fencer walked away from the site of the defeated dragon, as he thought it, but knew all to well that the winged humanoid wasn't dead, quite to the contrary, the Aura Master had no question that someone as powerful as Drago could have survived that cavern collapsing on him; but the shape he would be in if they did, on the other hand, would be barely capable of fighting. The fencer rested his right hand on the pommel of his sword and looked back before the young fencer continued to begin heading down the path. The boy stopped and turned back to take one last look at his foe, hoping that the Overlord would not try to fight a second round, especially in the condition he would be in.

There was suddenly a massive quake and the rubble was cast away, revealing the highly damaged Dragonic Overlord, who stepped forwards towards the fencer, ready to fight. Suddenly, something changed and the demonic dragon was covered in black flames, his eyes no longer glowing red. After the black flames vanished, a large dragon arose from the where had once stood the humanoid form of Drago, but the instant the dragon spoke, it was far to obvious that the human figure and this creature were one and the same. The massive clawed hand of the Dragon Lord drew a very evil looking scythe, and a dark, toothy grin overcame the Overlord's face.

"Dammit... I didn't think that would kill you, but I didn't think you'd be able to fight either." The Aura Master laughed, looking up at the massive dragonic figure as the green aura began to radiate around the swordsman's body, still radiating with a good deal of power. "Well now, let us continue then!" the Aura Master cried as he began to charge, but suddenly stopped.

The massive dragon took a deep breath and released black flames from his mouth, which the nimble human dodged as quickly as he could, but still was nearly caught by them. The dragon laughed and held his hand out, launching several hundred beams of energy that were all aimed at the fencer.

Okay, positives: He isn't violently enraged anymore, so he is less powerful and fast. Negatives: He can think and use magic. Overall, I'm in more trouble now then before, the fencer told himself as he suddenly side jumped, evading the pincer attacking beams, that seemed to follow him after he dodged. Homing laser beams... Are you god damn serious? This man has no end to his powers, doesn't he! the boy thought angrily as he jumped back, but suddenly had to skid to a stop as the massive scythe blade of the Overlord came down, landing behind the fencer, revealing a massive chain inside of the weapon. A chain scythe... What's next? Is there anything this man doesn't have?! The fencer mentally complained as he back flipped over the scythe blade and returned to escaping from the beams that scattered in multiple directions and tried to attack the fencer in a semicircle formation.

The green haired man watched as the beams united into one massive beam as the green haired youth was being chased down. As the Overlord began to retract the scythe blade, he took a deep breath and released another black fire behind the fencer, effectively cutting off the green haired man's escaped route.

The emerald eyes of the Aura Master turned to face the beam, now that he was trapped between seemingly unavoidable death. The fencer quickly unsheathed his two blades, his rapier with his left hand and his short sword with his right hand, and gathered up aura into his blade and swung them first in and 'X' and then in a cross, creating a massive green eight pointed star. "Aura Tempest!" He cried as the eight pointed attack shot forwards, clashing with the the beams and creating a massive explosion, nullifying them both. "That worked," the fencer stated blandly as he jumped back, narrowly avoiding the scythe blade. The Aura Master pointed the blades of his sword at the dragon and stated, "I cannot lose, for if I lose, I will not only die, but I will leave people in this world alone. I cannot do that!" His words were filled with power and bravery. The fencer would not be defeated so easily.

OoC: Ok, took me long enough! *Laughs*

BiC: Drago paused as Zorlo aimed his blade at the dragon and bravely said, "I cannot lose, for if I lose, I will not only die, but I will leave people in this world alone. I cannot do that!"

Zorlo leaped at the Overlord, quickly dodging the extendable scythe and narrowly avoiding the giant blade. The fencer tried to plant a punch in Drago's face just like before, but he discovered that the Overlord's defense greatly increased in dragonic form.

Drago laughed as the punch barley knocked him backwards; quickly delivering a powerful head-butt that sent Zorlo crashing to the ground. The dragon roared and breathed flames, which burnt a large hole in Zorlo's jacket.

It's so hard to believe that humans are this strong. This kid may is one tricky mortal, though that aura is rather strange, similar to mine in a fashion. Perhaps I won't deal the final blow... Drago thought to himself as he landed on the ground and charged the mortal.

Drago and Zorlo began a quick battle, blades flashing at lightning speeds; the screeching sound of steel clashing rang through the air. They were almost equal, Zorlo's Aura giving enough power to keep up with the Overlord's sheer power.

The dragon dodged another swift strike and launched a scythe attack at Zorlo, which completely missed and landed with a thud behind Zorlo. The fencer was confused at how badly Drago had missed, and grinned as he thought he was beginning to overpower the Overlord.

"You missed, at this rate you're doomed!" Zorlo said with renewed confidence as he charged the unmoving dragon.

"Is that so?!" Drago barked out as he suddenly jumped at Zorlo at alarming speeds.

It was then that the fencer realized he had been tricked. The Overlord was using the scythe as a medium to gain immense speed in an attack. Drago spun around quickly as he flew at Zorlo, whom wasn't fast enough, or prepared to dodge such a blow.

The Aura Master was sent nearly off the cliff by the brute force of that attack, coughing up blood for the Overlord had struck with his clawed foot on Zorlo's stomach.

Drago quickly flipped through the air and landed in front of Zorlo, grinning. "You shouldn't have thought I was growing tired, a move like that could've killed you if I had gone full force!" Drago lectured as he readied his sword.

Zorlo was immediately confused, noting the Overlord had just said he hadn't charged full force. He shrugged it off and charged, aiming his swords to cut the dragon in half.

Drago spun quickly and brought down his claws, making five tears in the mortals back, whom went stiff and groaned from the pain. He fell on one knee, and turned suddenly, his short sword flying from his hand and stabbing itself deep into the dragon's left arm.

"Damn!" Drago whispered, his scythe arm no longer working at full capacity.

With a grin, Drago aimed his monstrous blade at Zorlo in a challenge like manner. Let's see just how far I can push this human without striking him down, a fool of his kind shouldn't die for such a worthy challenge...

OoC: Woo...I finally posted. *Laughs* Your turn!

The fencer jumped back, recovering his short sword and sheathing it up slowly. The tension was building as the green aura around the fencer began to fade away, and strange, golden energy began to emit from the Aura Master, his energy transforming from his human energy into something greater. The golden energy continued to flow out slowly, and even began to burn out of the fencer's back, slowly becoming angel like wings. I've never had to use my power at its fullest, but I don't think I have a chance. Its dangerous, but I don't have much of a choice, the fencer thought as the massive golden flame erupted around the fencer in a circle, and the green haired man's wings stretched out.

The dragon smiled as he spun his massive sword in a circle quickly and pointed it at the fencer, smiling as he did so. "So, little human, are you ready to begin?" The dragonic swordsman swung his sword back and charged at the fencer, swinging his blade down at the green haired man.

The Aura Master stepped slightly, evading the sword attack and looking the Overlord eye to eye. "Not fast enough," the fencer responded, moving his hand quickly to the side and driving the hand-guard of his rapier into the dragon's face, throwing it back a bit. "You'll need to be faster then that to hit me," Zorlo responded, holding his blade at the dragonic warrior's neck. "Time to die," the green clothed man added as he slashed his sword at his foes neck.

The dragon growled, moving his blade quickly and deflecting the fencer's sword as the winged creature took to the air. "I am not so easily felled, mortal," came the response of the Overlord who showed no signs of fear of the green haired man. The Dragonic Overlord took a deep breath and released dark flames down upon the watching Aura Master.

The fencer positioned his feet sternly and pushed up hard, shooting into the air like a rocket, slowing to a float as he and Drago fell evenly level. "I think it is you that underestimates me. I am no normal human, I am a hero of a god!" the fencer yelled, charging at the dragon and swinging his sword quickly.

Drago wasted no time, responding with great speed and swinging his sword, causing the swords of their masters to clash hard, causing black electricity and golden energy to be scattered through the air. The two warriors were pushed back by the force, but moved again, clashing swords like this several times, but neither fighter gained much, if any, ground. Suddenly, the massive blade of the Overlord knocked the green haired man's sword to the side, and a quick slash fell, aiming to cut the fencer in half.

Not yet... the Aura Master thought, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly. "Not... YET!" the fencer yelled, using his wings to push himself back, feeling the strain of maintaining his Ancient Aura in this realm. I'm tiring out very quickly, but I think I can defeat this guy before I pass out, the fencer thought bravely, pushing himself forwards again and swinging his sword down at the dragon, who quickly responded by raising his own blade, defending himself from the green haired man's attack.

Zorlo pushed his blade hard, trying to overpower Drago, who was much stronger now that he had transformed into a dragon; nonetheless, the fencer was not going to give up, he had to much to lose, and everything to gain in this battle. Defeat was not an option.
