*Steps in* Wow, it's been a while. (Nekoryuuha)

[Daphnes]

OoC: I decided to try BAing again. An old friend returned to ZU, so I thought I might come back here too. Link to character.

BiC: The war between Dragomancers and Dragonslayers was raging on in the continent where Wildfire lived. He had just been in a fierce battle in a village that harbored dragonslayers the day before, and the survivers had spent the night in the now empty town before going home.

Wildfire was the last to leave, and the only one left when an unfamiliar figure came into the town. The person stared in disbelief at the burned buildings and bodies of the fallen.

"Did you do this?" The person asked Wildfire.

"Yes." Wildfire answered.

OoC: I figure that's a good enough reason to start a fight. Whoever you decide to use, Nekoryuuha, will attack Wildfire for massacreing the town of slayers and their supporters. Zoshonel the dragon will be around, but I won't have him attack unless your character summons something or whatever.

[nekoryuuha]

OoC: Alright, good to go, then. I think you'll find him... to be quite the challenge...

Ic:

The figure told a deep breath as the flames slowly consumed the village. He seemed far more surprised the village was wiped out then angry. Guess that means no fun...Then again, maybe I could still practice even if it's just him, he thought as cracked his clawed, scaled hands and presented his lazy, arrogant smile to the Dragomancer as he stepped closer and they both got a better look at each other. "A Dragomancer huh? And here I thought you just another Demon of a moment."

"And I thought The Kiwadoi Species was extinct by now," Wildfire counted.

"Not this Kiwadoi." He crossed his arms now, slightly frowning. "You know, you ruined my fun today. I'd sent a villager to instill fear that I was coming and here I come to find out you destroyed the place and Killed or run off everyone before I could get here."

"So then you must be what some of the ones here were talking. 'The Terror of Death' or something."

"Yes, that's me." As Nekatsuki looked the Dragomancer over, he nodded approvingly. "So now, I'd say you owe me for a ruined day." Before Wildfire could reply, Nekatsuki was already dashing across the small clearing at him, a fist cocked back and ready to strike. Within seconds, Wildfire had taken to the air as the place when he stood was cratered by Nekatsuki's punch and formed a cloud of dust.

"Such strength. I never knew Kiwadoi could be so powerful," remarked the Dragomancer as a rock the size of a volleyball shot past his head from the dust cloud, nearly hitting him in the face. A Lightning bolt soon followed that came so close to hitting him, the electricity made his skin tingle. The following Thunder was deafening and cleared some of the cloud to show Nekatsuki still smiling his lazy, arrogant smile. "Here, old man! Is this too much or should I tone it down a bit?" The Terror of Death called to him.


OoC:I hope that was a good enough beginning for ya!

[Daphnes]

OoC: Looks like Nakatsuki has more powers than Wildfire. This could be really interesting.

BiC: "Demi-Dragon against Demi-Dragon. Nice." Wildfire said to himself.

He aimed downward with a firey claw, and Naka matched him with a flamming claw himself. They grappled with each other for a few seconds, then Naka readied an ice breath attack. Wildfire responded with a fire breath, and the resulting shock blew them apart from each other. A massive steamcloud filled the road, and they began to search for each other.

"Dragomancers are pathetic, almost as much as Humans are!"

"At least we are not shunned by both our kinds."

Wildfire flew high and used his wings to lift the steam. He readied an explosive ball and hurled it at Neka when he found the half Neko-demon.

[nekoryuuha]

As Nekatsuki saw the blast towards him, his teeth parted in a devilish smile as white light and energy began to shine through. Do you think you have any hope of beating someone capable of putting a hole in the MOON!?!" the Kiwadoi yelled, finishing with his mouth wide and glowing. Time seemed to slow for the two as the beam unleashed from Nekatsuki's mouth and struck the Explosion ball dead center. The resulting explosion shook the area as the beam shot through the explosion toward the recoiling Wildfire and grazed over the scales of his chest of a moment. Pain burst through his chest as the barely touched scales were already smoking and sizzling from the power of the attack that had just as quickly ended.

Even as he held a hand over his cooked and still cooking scales the sound of movement behind him made him look back to see Nekatsuki slowly rising past him from a jump. The Terror of Death shot out a claw to grab Wildfire to soon be pushed back by a strong wave of heat from the Dragomancer. His scales covered his chest and neck as his arms shielded his face from the heat. As moment he covered himself, Wildfire dove feet first into the Kiwadoi's chest, turning the kick into a earth shaking stomp that rocked the area, cratered the ground, and kicked up a dust cloud. "That's for the old man comment from earlier, Terror of Nothing." He began to move only to find his feet struck.

"And this is for thinking a weak thing like yourself hopes to even match the Terror of Death," Nekatsuki replied before breathing his Dark Breath up at Wildfire. It began to cling to him as it quickly and easily engulfed him in it's thirsting, smothering embrace. As it leeched his strength, his powerful wings beat at the air until even Nekatsuki himself couldn't help but become airborne as well. Pulling down, Nekatsuki yanked himself up onto the Dragomancer's back and grabbed the base of his wings where there attached to his back. "I don't think you'll be needing these anymore!" He yelled as began to squeeze and start pulling.

[Daphnes]

Nekatsuki pulled on Wildfire's wings, and pushed on his back with his feet. If I don't get this guy off me, he'll rip my wings off! He's so powerful that the only advantage I have against him is flight, so I need my wings now more than any other fight I've been in.

The Dragomancer set off another explosion, hurling Nekatsuki upward. The demon used draconic armor to help cushion the inevitable fall, but he saw his opponent race towards him instead of away. Wildfire used his superior mid-air maneuverability to ram him further upwards, then grabbed him to land vicious kicks and punches.

He pulled his demonic enemy to him, and rammed into him repeatedly, keeping him air born and virtually helpless. Nekatsuki tried to launch a breath attack, but got punched in the face hard. Finally, before Wildfire's energy gave out, he threw Nekastuki downward and rode him a hundred feet to the ground. All those blows, and the impact, shattered most of the Demon's armor leaving him shattered at the bottom of a hole.

Wildfire's body had begun overheating because of the explosion magic, and the battle itself. He landed outside of the small crater and breathed heavily.

"If I was a master Dragomancer, I'd finish you off in plenty of time for breakfast. I'm running out of options here." Wildfire said to himself. He thought about finding Zoshonel, his dragon partner, and getting out of there before anything else showed up, but he was too afraid of turning his back to that hole.

[nekoryuuha]

A pained coughing could be heard at the bottom of the crater that soon became pained laughter. The Dust cleared as Nekatsuki lay at the bottom of the crater, his created scales broken and scattered around his body and much of the exposed skin covered in cuts and abrasions. A line of blood ran from one corner of his mouth and he paused his laugh only to cough up a bit of blood. He'd broken a rib or two likely though it mattered little to him. "You? Finish me off?" Nekatsuki opened her eyes to glare at the Dragomancer. His hearing picked up the murmur easily. "You can't seriously believe this battle is over yet," He continued as slowly pulled himself from the indent in the rock he'd created and pulled himself to his feet.

"And what can you still do, Kiwadoi? You look as though you can barely move now," Wildfire countered, still watching his foe warily.

Would you let a Half-Dragon beat you?

Nekatsuki smiled as he began to outline in black and crimson light. The powerful, male voice sounded familiar to him. But where had he heard it before? "You should know this! Nekatsuki, The Terror of Death will never be out of options!" The air became heavy with powerful feelings of Death and Malice stemming from Nekatsuki as the light became stronger. Something flickered briefly before Nekatsuki's Violent black and crimson aura erupted around him like flames. At the Top, Black wings flared out as a four-eyed dragon's head glared at Wildfire with growing red eyes.

Of all Dragon kind, there are four Mortal Dragons that stand above the rest as 'Blessed Ones'. Bahamut, a dragon of many forms and King of the Dragon known for his legendary Breath Weapon. Tiamat, The 'sister' dragon to Bahamut and Queen of the Dragons, known for her power. Dva, a Powerful dragon said to be able to easily kill any of dragon kind that fights against her and is known as the 'Anti-Dragon'. Lastly, there was Odjn, a dragon of such ancient strength he was dubbed the '1000-year Destroyer and was said to have the ability to become stronger through the Dominance of Dragonic souls. Few people knew of Odjn and Dva, however due to The mutual destruction of Dva and Odjn several millennia ago in a fierce battle that killed many dragons and humans. Even Bahamut and Tiamat were injured in the release of power that caused their bodily death.

Even as the Dragon faded back into Nekatsuki's aura, there was no mistaking that four-eyed gaze, characteristic to Odjn alone. "I'd heard the Kiwadoi can embody a reincarnated Dragon soul within their own but..." Wildfire didn't finish as a blast of Fear hit him like a hammer to the face. He looked to Nekatsuki only to realize what was happening. First was that it was Nekatsuki radiating it. He was giving off waves of Dragonfear just as full dragons could. The second was that Nekatsuki's hair had spiked out wildly now and he seemed in no pain. It was the Specialty of the Kiwadoi the Dragonmancer was witnessing, The Killing Edge. Seeing this nearly Demonic-seeming Kiwadoi standing before him, her was beginning to see why this...Nekatsuki called himself by the ancient title of, 'The Terror of Death'. And why humans called him by nothing else.

[Daphnes]

Wildfire had only heard tales of the four great Dragons, and never thought he may catch a glimpse of one in his life. This creature was out of his league. His mind was screaming at him to call Zoshonel and run, but he feared this demon may kill his beloved partner in front of his eyes.

What could he do to match this creature? For the first time in the battle, his mind began giving in to panic. The Human half, that does everything through thought as intelligence is the main things that species survives on, was becoming erradic and fearful. But then, the other half of his mind began taking control.

This half lived more on instinct than intelligence. The only thing it considered at this point was that it had yet to be fed. The dragon half of his brain was more irritated that this half demon was keeping it from feeding than it was afraid of its power.

Wildfire's eyes glazed over a bit in what Negatsuki thought was complete terror, as he had seen in many Humans before he killed them. But the demon was only half right. Cognitive thought was overcome by instincts. The dragon within was unhindered by pain, and was much more in tune with his senses.

Negatsuki rushed forward with blinding speed to take Wildfire's head off, but the Dragomancer dodged just barely enough to avoid damage while countering with a right hook. A fierce battle took place then. Wildfire targeted weak points like the neck and joints, not actually thinking about what he was doing but simply fighting.

The dragon part of Wildfire was feuled by territorial rage, and his movements were so much faster with the human brain that wanted to think things through out of the way.

OoC:Hey, I went to another site where they RP, but they do things differently. Over there they take Godmodding further, and say you're not allowed to control another character in any way. The posts are much shorter because of that.

Oh, and I read that Duke of Clubs is dead. Apparently he was a very good RPer, and had many friends.

[nekoryuuha]

OoC: I've RP'ed in sites like that. I must admit I kinda like that style as well.

Bic:

Blood, red and white, splatted across the bare ground as the two Demi-Dragon drew blood in their vicious dance of claws. Flames scorched a building wall, lightning blows a chunk from the earth as its thunder rocked the area. A taloned kick to the chest throws one away, only for him to leap back with a punch to the face. Wildfire and Nekatsuki's twin roar rocked the area as they rushed back in and met fists.

Nekatsuki felt as though he watched from another's body as the two fought furiously, cognitive thought very much absent from the battle. Nekatsuki noticed while his scales seemed harder then Wildfire's, the Dragomancer had more scales protecting him.

The two Move back and forth now in their exchange of punches, claw swipes, and kicks that covered more and more of the ground in Wildfire's red blood and Nekatsuki's white blood. Their claws were covered in each other's blood while their body were halfway painted with their own. Their deadly dance was only broken as one launched a breath attack at his foe to miss or just barely score. The ground shook as Nekatsuki's strength once more cratered the ground as Wildfire took flight. High and Higher he winged as he formed a great ball of Explosive magic in his claws. Heh...here. Borrow this, but just this once. Next time you earn it...

A heartbeat.

As the smoke cleared around him, Nekatsuki could be seen facing his skyward foe. His glowing mouth went gold as a large, golden eye formed in front of his mouth. A ball of violet energy began to form between the eye and his mouth, growing stronger and stronger. Wildfire launched his ball of power just as Nekatsuki launched his own. The two met in the air, but instead of an explosion, the two stopped. Nekatsuki's ball hung there with Wildfire's inside it, frozen in a half explosion. The violet ball hung there a moment longer before streams of energy raced back to Nekatsuki, seeming to be absorbed into him through the golden eye he created. More and more, the ball fed Nekatsuki energy until the ball itself raced back and was absorbed through the eye. A golden outline covered Nekatsuki's body a moment before fading away with the gold eye. What didn't fade away was the glow of Nekatsuki's mouth as it returned to white before launching a powerful lightning bolt at the Dragomancer.

[Daphnes]

Wildfire saw the eye appear in front of Nekatsuki's mouth, and he remembered the glimpse of the other Dragon. The demon was tapping into its power. Whne the two energies collided, and were sucked towards Negatsuki, Wildfire began using the heat wave move. He shifted all of the energy from that wave to in front of him as a shield, and fed it with flame claw.

The blast hit his shield and propelled him backwards as it began to disentegrate his shield. He was thrown behind a building in a corner of the town that the Dragomancers had left more or less untouched. This was the place they used to sleep the night.

The Nekodemon began running towards the building, and rounded the corner in the hopes of catching Wildfire before he recovered. He came around the corner, but dodged quickly as an adolescent Dragon tried to bite his face off. This was actually the first time Negatsuki had seen Zoshonel, and was a bit surprised. The young Dragon flared his wings and growled menacingly at the wounded enemy.

Suddenly, a fireblast blew a hole in the wall of the building from the inside, and Wilfire flew through the hole to grab his opponent's neck and drag him forward. He used his wings to push the demon across the ground, and held his neck with his claws. Grinding him against the dirt.

"Your strength is your breath attacks, but your weakness is that you have to breath to use them," Wildfire said, with a maniacal expression of mixed emotions. "Now die!!"

[nekoryuuha]

Nekatsuki's surprise quickly turned to shock as he opened wide to release another bolt of lightning only to discover the Dragomancer was right. Nekatsuki had never thought his breath attacks required him to breathe. All the times in the past he'd just used them, whether inhaling or exhaling. He didn't think his breath weaponry required him to be breathing to work.

The glow quickly died away as Nekatsuki fought to dislodge Wildfire's hands from his throat. Though he could hold his breath for a long time, he also knew it would only be a matter of time before it would kill even him. And he, the Self proclaimed and widely accepted Terror of Death refused to die. Even as Nekatsuki pulled at the Dragomancer's clawed hands, Wildfire was squeezing harder and bearing down more and more, giving Nekatsuki less leverage to pull his hands off the Kiwadoi's throat.

Nekatsuki couldn't help but think back to that time nearly six months ago now as he did much the same to the human woman...Maria was her name if he remembered correctly.

Bringing his knees to his chest, the Kiwadoi kicked up with both feet into Wildfire's chest, winding the Dragomancer as well as taking him off his feet for a moment as the Kiwadoi push away with his feet and pulled out on the choking hands with his own clawed hands. It seemed like hours were passing for Nekatsuki even though the choking had started but a few minutes ago. His lungs were beginning to burn and at the sight of the enraged Nekatsuki's glowing it mouth, Wildfire redoubled his slowly failing efforts to keep his death grip on Nekatsuki's throat.

Little by little, his hands slipped from his throat, fresh blood welling to the surface of Nekatsuki's skin as the Dragomancer's rough scales and claws cut and scrapped off. It was too much. With one final push and pull, Nekatsuki freed himself from the death hold. "DIE!!!" he roared with his first breath as his glowing mouth opened wider then one believed possible directly at Wildfire's neck. The position he was in sealed his fate. Wildfire wouldn't dodge this in time.

A loud growl from the side was heard just before flames washed over Nekatsuki's head and face. The smell of burning hair was thick as Nekatsuki's scales covered his face to protect his skin. "You Pest!" he yelled as he turned his head and unleashed his lightning bolt into the streaming flames. The bolt glanced off the adolescent Dragon's skull, the electricity stunning it rather than out right killing it as a direct hit may have done. The flames stopped as Zoshonel cried out in pain. Nekatsuki turned back to the held Wildfire only to receive another gout of flames from the angered Wildfire's flame breath. "To hell with you both!"

The yell was punctuated by Nekatsuki kicking upward and letting go of the Demi-dragon to throw him into the air. In one smooth motion, he rolled to his feet and leapt up behind Wildfire, putting him in a low bear-hug from behind. His arms were pinned to his side, as his wings were partly caught in between the two's bodies. Nekatsuki's face was at Wildfire's shoulder's, exactly where he wanted for this move. It was an attack he'd seen his mother use on a few occasions to very effective outcomes as she was shorter then her adversaries. She'd told him that it would really only work if you're opponent at least half a foot taller then you or could be placed as such. Never really used it before. Might as well if it works as well as mother showed it did! He smiled as the two slowly began to fall and Nekatsuki's weigh tipped them head first. "I hope you enjoy this!" With a powerful twist from Nekatsuki, the two were soon spiraling rapidly as they descended head first to the ground. "Just for you, The Neko Bomber." If Nekatsuki set this right, Wildfire's hitting should stop him from hitting with anything near full force if at all. Hopefully anyway. If not...well...Nekatsuki would have a very bad head and neck ache for a while.

[Daphnes]

Wildfire mentally kicked himself for losing his grip on Negatsuki's neck. Just a minute longer...well, it didn't matter now. The guy bounces back like a spring. Wilfire thought as he was grabbed from behind, and sent into a downward spiral. His wings were caught, and he didn't have enough energy for an explosion attack.

He let his body go limp. For a few seconds, it actually felt good to have some semblance of rest. Juts before he hit the ground, he positioned his head at just the right angle so the thick plating of horn on his head would be the first thing to hit. Then the impact came, and he was pile driven into the ground past his neck. The strike stunned him to the point that he actually passed out.

A loud roar brought him back to consciousness. When he pulled his head out of the ground, he could see Negatsuki facing Zoshonel. The roar was from Zoshonel, screamed in anger and warning. Wildfire spoke up to get his opponent's attention.

"Trying to piledrive me is like trying to hit a ram in the head. It's just going to make the ram mad!" Wildfire said. He told Zoshonel to fly off, and the dragon took to the air to find shelter. While Zoshonel hid himself, the two opponents stared at each other. They were both worn out, and conventional means of combat had proved futile.

Wildfire wanted to rest, but he knew he'd be dead if he let his guard down. He had to watch his opponent closely, and act on a hair trigger if the demon made the slightest movement. He was obviously very quick, and had excellent jumping ability. The Dragomancer was running out of ideas, but had to think of a way to end this. He just prayed that dragon spirit didn't feel like doing Negatsuki any more favors for a while, and give him a new power.

Even so, midday was coming soon. Wildfire could feel a bit of his power returning as the sun crept higher into the sky. If only he could think of a plan, he may find a way to win.

[nekoryuuha]

As the shadows grew short, so too did Nekatsuki's plans. What he'd thought would have been a half hour or hour fight had extended over several hours and was still going though neither fighter moved. Both were tired and battered. Nekatsuki cracked his neck to relieve it from the minor impact. The attack would have worked well, had Wildfire's head not been harder than Nekatsuki's, a feat the Kiwadoi didn't think possible.

Silence stretched for the first time since Dawn and Nekatsuki, who earlier claimed never to be out of options, was having to eat his words as he was running out of things to do. His Scar was beginning to burn, something odd in itself to add to this odd day, and part of him wanted to find that Kid dragon and finish what his earlier lightning bolt had not. What he didn't realize was that the wish to kill Zoshonel stemmed only a little from himself. The rest was coming from Odjn's wish for a new Soul.

Nekatsuki did, however, have one ace he knew would finish the battle. D-Awaken, the secret power of a Kiwadoi even more feared then the Killing Edge and less known because of its high success rate for finishing an foe before they could reveal the secret or wounding them in such a way they can't reveal it. His only real problem was that in his current state, he wasn't sure if it would last long enough to kill both Wildfire and Zoshonel and the condition it would leave him in. The first time, he wasn't able to move for a day or two and wasn't back to full for a week or two. After than, it lessened but he still would be unable to fight for a while. Now, well, he was sure the fight would be over soon, but finding Zoshonel...that was the challenge afterward.

Higher still, rose the sun into the sky now. Nekatsuki and Wildfire continued waiting for the other, neither willing to make the first move at this point. Nekatsuki watched with interest with his Dragon sight. He could now see a dark grey, almost blurry sphere within the Dragomancer's life aura, something he hadn't seen before on others up until now. He also noticed that the Dragomancer was strengthening visibly now, even faster then earlier. That lessened his options even more. Even still, Nekatsuki felt he could win without it, the small strength boost equal to his own Demon-fueled, Dragonic recover, or at least what he felt was equal. If I don't win this soon, then D-awakening will be it... If not, then my inner Dragon will have to get some exercise. "Hey, Dragomancer. Ever heard of the 'Kiwadoi's Secret?" Nekatsuki asked suddenly to the slight surprise of Wildfire.

"Your Killing Edge, if I remember. Yes, for you used it just earlier agai-"

"No, Not the Killing Edge," Nekatsuki spoke, cutting off his foe. "I mean our true secret. The reason though all Dragon-kind would gladly see us returned to the Darkness, only the greatest and most powerful Dragon-kind ever try to kill one of us." Nekatsuki smiled menacingly at Wildfire. "The one that succeed are abnormally maimed and injured if they return at all. Even Bahamut only has three or four Kiwadoi killed and he's the King of Dragons!" Nekatsuki was nearly laughing at Wildfire's face. It must have been new information to him. Not surprising as Dragons rarely speak of the Kiwadoi, because of their impure power. "I'm talking about a power that can even touch the moon."

"That's the third time you've said that!" Wildfire snapped. "You speak as if -"

"I've done it?" Nekatsuki raised one fist. "Oh, but where do you thing that black circle came from 6 months ago?" Before Wildfire could respond, Nekatsuki held up a hand to stop him. "10 Minutes. You have until the sun is directly overhead before I show you the power that harmed even the moon. Better get fighting. Or running. Either is fine by me."

[Daphnes]

I can no longer do this alone. Wildfire thought. He called Zoshonel back two him, and took flight. With Zoshonel on the gound, and Wildfire in the air, they had to beat this guy in ten minutes. They couldn't risk leading him back home, because he might then unleash his attack on the clan. Zoshonel moved swiftly, as he was stronger and faster than Wildfire, and more or less uninjured.

Nekatsuki unleashed a lightning attack at the Dragon, but he met it with a fire blast that canceled it out. They grappled with each other for a few seconds before Nekatsuki threw him aside. Just then, Wildfire was behind him, and held his arms back. He lifted off just enough so the demon's feet would be off the ground, and Zoshonel hit him with another fireblast.

"You think you can last ten minutes against both of us? You won't unleash your attack at such a close range, unless you'd destroy yourself just to win."

[nekoryuuha]

Nekatsuki laughed as he pulled his feet up and kicked back with them, hitting Wildfire with enough force to make him drop Nekatsuki and use his wings to keep from hitting a wall. "Do you honestly think It would harm me? This is my power! Saying that is like warning a Green not to poison itself with its own breath!" As Zoshonel leapt forward to attack Nekatsuki with more flames as Nekatsuki faced his glowing mouth toward the Kid dragon. Zoshonel's flames blasted back into it's own face while the he was blown back through a wall by what appeared to be a blast of force. "Like it? It's a breath I created from learning about little known dragon breaths. The Concussive Breath," Nekatsuki stated as turned back to Wildfire with a rising kick to the chest that was followed back another to throw the flyer even higher.

"Is that the Weapon you spoke of? No, you have something worse, don't you, Nekatsuki?" Wildfire replied as Zoshonel hit Nekatsuki from behind with a flying head-butt. The Kiwadoi went through a near-by wall, turned and twisting to land on his feet and slide to a stop near the next wall as Zoshonel flew in at him. The back wall collapsed as the Dragon flew through it, followed by Nekatsuki at a more leisurely pace.

"Five minutes till you're deaths," Nekatsuki yelled out as her watched Zoshonel recover and ready itself even as glanced around for the Dragomancer. Much like with Wildfire, Nekatsuki could see an odd sphere within the dragon's life aura but unlike Wildfire's, Zoshonel's wasn't blurry in the least. "What is that. Shi-!!" Nekatsuki snapped back from his thoughts as he felt Wildfire's hands beginning to grab him by the neck, but from behind. Nekatsuki's hands grabbed onto Wildfire's and stopped them as the Kiwadoi swung his caught foe into the conveniently near-by wall, letting go as the wall shattered. By then, Zoshonel was already back on him, a claw swipe tearing across the Kiwadoi's back and leaving thick lines of blood down his back from left shoulder to nearly his right hip. The wound visibly smoked for a reason Nekatsuki couldn't answer and burned like his old scar did earlier. The next was blocked by Nekatsuki's clawed hand and diverted aside. Note to self; Dragon claws seem to have an unnatural effect on Kiwadoi flesh. The third strike was evaded entirely as he leapt above the Dragon's strike and its head. "Take a nap!" Nekatsuki yelled as he hammered both of his fists into the dragon's head which in turn hammered Zoshonel's head to the ground, a bit stunned.

Wildfire seemed nowhere to be found as Nekatsuki moved into the clearing again. Not in the sky, maybe in a building or fled. If it was the latter, this was the perfect time to finish off Zoshonel. If he was waiting nearby, then the moment Nekatsuki tried to kill that kid Dragon, Wildfire would have him. Either way, something was going to happen soon. He could already hear Zoshonel moving again and was only just turning to look as a shadow loomed over him. Claws flashed and both Demi-Dragons were locked. Wildfire planted both feet in the Kiwadoi's chest and kicked off to put him in the dirt. Before Nekatsuki could roll to his feet, the Dragomancer was back on him in a replay of their choking match. "Like that? I figured if it works for you, it should work for me," Wildfire said smiling as he choked Nekatsuki harder then before, determined not to be pried off again.

Nekatsuki struggled to pull off his foe from his throat, before closing his eyes and smiling. As the now confused Wildfire looked on, Nekatsuki counted down from five with his fingers. The moment he hit one, He intended to show Wildfire the true meaning of The Terror of Death.

[Daphnes]

Out of time! Wildfire thought, and took flight straight for Zoshonel. He grabbed onto his partner's back, and yelled for the Dragon to fly. He used the last of his energy to launch and explosive blast that propelled them away at high speed for a few seconds, though how could he get out of range of an attack that could hit the moon?

Nekatsuki fired, and Zoshonel broke to the right as he put up a flame shield with all his might. The shot glanced off the shield, keeping them from taking a direct hit, but the shot destroyed it, and the wake of the shot was powerful enough to send them flying hundreds of yards.

They crashed through trees outside of the destroyed village, and remained where they landed for some time. Finally, Wildifre and Zoshonel recovered enough to get up, and the Dragomancer suggested they leave for home.

The Dragon walked with Wildfire on his back, as both were beaten, and they traveled north to the clan. For some unexplained reason, they came across a large dead dragon. It had battle wounds, and the most obvious was a large hole in its chest that was likely the killing blow.

"It's not from our clan, but who or what did this? It doesn't look like the work of Dragonslayers." Wildfire said. Zoshonel sniffed the corpse and growled in wary uncertainty.

They then made their way home. The battle was over, but those two would meet again.

OoC: It's over! That was fun. Next up will be a quest Wildfire will take to help make him stronger. Thanks for reading, anyone who did.

[nekoryuuha]

OoC:Alrighty then. And now for this thread's epilogue! I apologize that it's so short.

Bic:

To the east of the beaten, dead Dragon, a wounded and limping Nekatsuki slowly made his way. A smile adorned his face and the words of the dead Dragon echoed through his mind...

"What?! But how could a Kiwadoi ever bear the strength of the 1000 year Destroyer!?" Those were the words that he last spoke as Nekatsuki's D-breath; Wyrm pierced its body and finished the kill. The Crimson sphere Nekatsuki saw within its life aura flared brightly as it flew from the deceased Dragon and was absorbed by Nekatsuki. Power as fierce as a Dragon flooded Nekatsuki, goating a laugh from him while he returned to normal from his D-Awakened state for the second time that day. The first was used to blow away Wildfire and Zoshonel, the only two knowing his secret.

"So, I bear the 1000 year Destroyer as my inner Dragon. Meaning that sphere could only have been one thing."
