Part 2

[Inkshade]

"You know I will." Caedmon says. he grabs the back of Brann's shirt and pulls him away from Azrael. wind swirls around them and they disappear with it.

Vito curses "Damn it Caedmon..." he turns to check on Elias, only to see a dark demon literally inches from his face "GAH!" he jumps, but keeps a hold of Vanora. "LUCA!" he snaps "I thought that was you! Damned kid..."

"....hello." the demon says. he cocks his head and looks at Vanora "Oh..." he smiles "she's pretty....does...this mean it's true? What Brother said?"

"Yes...are the others here?"

"Mmmhmm...but I don't think Paitus and Daito will come....Loruel might....maybe Paitus....not Daito." Luca says quietly, still looking at Vanora "So pretty...."

Vito sighs "Loruel...well, he's a good one to be here if any. He's diplomatic enough...Unless...Luca, does he still want her?"

Luca shrugs "Do you want help?....I'll fight....or hold someone down...."

"Just stay close to me and don't let anyone attack us." Vito says

"Why did uncle leave?......was it me?"

"No, he's just trying to stay neutral. It wasn't you."

----------

"Don't think me one to underestimate anyone." Claire says "Let's see how fast you are." she smirks and moves even faster, determined to outdo him.

Airou smirks "Leave it to you milady...Even though it is magic." he looks for Goshin

--------

"Yes, that it is." Estelle smiles

----

Rhis nods "Yes sir." he looks back at Rowena and smiles, happy things had gone well.

Vaughn smiles as well "Dragons...traveling in my cousin's style I see." he chuckles.

Cazo rises and nods to Jast to follow him.

[Dynamax]

"I'll thank you not to fawn over the Princess in that state thank you." Elias says as he retrieves his weapon and backs down. "Who are you anyways?"

"MORE LAMBS TO THE SLAUGHTER!!" Vadris flies up into the air. "I won't tolerate any more interference from ANYONE!!"

"Is it time Cousin?" A man in a blue robe ask his companion.

"Let Vadris have his fun while I assess this new arrival. If he has back up it could be a problem." A man with Green hair says, gazing into the orb.

"Father, are you sure my siblings and I should just sit back?" A younger man says.

"Sabrel, if I know anything it's when to strike." The man smiles. "Besides i didn't invite Ildor here for nothing." The green haired man says. "Jolden?"

"Yes Dagren?" The man in blue says.

"Summon the others, we should prepare if nothing else." Dagren says with a laugh. "Is that not the wisest move my Dear?"

"It is most wise Lord Dagren." Sira says, standing there. "Shall I get my Sister and The Master?"

"They will not be needed my old friend." Dagren smiles. "I have all i need with me when the time comes."

-------------

Crytax smiles as he switches out a sword for a shield. "Fast on my feet and in thought toots." He uses it to block her attack.

"You'll find me right here." Goshin says into Airou's mind. "You were able to thwart my scan but not my control. Now I'll have you carve out your own tongue and then bleed to death in revenge." Goshin says as he reaches into Airou's mind. "Know that there is nothing you can do t..." Goshin then goes silent and falls to the ground. His hold breaks.

"Stupid waste of life forgot about ME." Aikia says.

Sticking into the back of Goshin's skull was a bone spike. He was dead.

"What did you do?" Victoria asks before letting out a shriek.

Standing behind her was a zombified Chimera.

"My new friend here simply removes and spat a fang right at Goshin's head." Aikia smirks.

"YOU...YOU KILLED GOSHIN!!! BOSSSSSSSSSS!!" Ronka yells.

Kaizo and the others hear the cry and converge. "No...this can't be. They....they....they ruined our wonderful team dynamic!!! THAT BITCH!!!" Kaizo yells.

"Boss, take it easy, we were planning on replacing him anyways right?" Honzai says.

"But I don't want us to be the Hell's Force Four, it lacks the right feel to it." Kaizo says. "Plus it will hurt our reputation."

"Feeb had his number coming. He was rather useless." Ginza says.

"Too soon." Honzai says.

Jagi stops his attack. "Damn, they don't seem to care about the poor sap."

"Sucks, don't it?" Trophis says.

"Yeah...." Jagi then lashes out again.

"AAAHHHH!! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" Trophis yells.

"Still my enemy." Jagi says.

------------

"So then how is your offensive power?" Adona asks.

-----------

"Animals fit for kings after all." Ildor says. "NOW FLY GARZUL!!"

The dragon lets out a loud cry as it spreads it's wings and takes flight.

The other dragons begin to follow once mounted.

[Inkshade]

"But...mother wants us to be here...." Luca says almost sounding sad. his belts start stretching out a bit "Brother...brother said Mother wanted us to....protect sister." he smiles lightly "She's so pretty....just like mother...it's hard to say...but her soul is even prettier than mother's..."

"Silence Luca. Loruel would not like such talk." Vito says "Ehh...Elias this is Luca....he's trustworthy enough."

-------------

"Wouldn't be worth fighting if you weren't I supose." Claire says, and does a flip over him "you're friend isn't too bright though...." she comments as she trusts forward with a dagger.

Airou looks at Aikia "Thanks..." he smiles and then it fades "Gah no good I'm suposed to be protecting you..."

Ammon stands up and sighs "That could have been unfortunate...don't want to force him into anything after all. Now where's that grub...." he mutters

-----------

"I can pull and and push things towards myself. Rather effective, especially with the use of traps and the like." Estelle says

--

Rhis smiles from the dragon, enjoying the view. He holds Iggy closely so the smaller dragon would not try to fly off.

Vaughn clings to the dragon, hesitating to look down. he coughs a few times.

Osiron watches Rhis enjoying himself and smiles. He realizes that he had been so foolish all that time to think Ildor would have judged him harshly.

---------

Gaz and Caed appear in the manor of House Cromwell, directly in front of Freya "Hey, all nobles to the royal castle, we got a war going on. Get there lickity-split!" he says and teleports away with a hardly recovered Caed.

[Dynamax]

"If you say so. he just is coming off rather...disturbing there." Elias says.

"What the Hell? You killed Goshin Aikia? HOW DARE YOU?" He turns and aims for her. "Stupid witch, I'll blast you into atoms!!"

A blast of fire strike Vadris.

"Don't forget about me." Rondar says. "You attack my men and you attack me."

"You insignificant gnats are beginning to annoy me." Vadris snarls.

-------------

"Yeah, but he's tough enough to take it." Crytax snorts as he avoids the blade. "What kind of tactics is that?"

"This kind." Octavia punches him in the arm with her punching knife, stabbing his forearm and forcing him to drop his knife.

"AAAAUUUUGGGHHHHH!" Crytax bellows. "THAT HURT!!"

"Now Claire." Octavia yells.

"I'm not a damsel in distress, but i appreciate you caring." Aikia then steps aside as a blast from Kaizo blows apart the Chimera.

"I MISSED!!" Kaizo yells. "GRRR...whoever can get to her first can do as they wish to her. Make her suffer for angering me."

"And for Goshin." Honzai says.

"Yeah...him too." Kaizo says halfheartedly.

-------------

"Well i am able to activate some of Roylan's traps that he has dormant here." Adona smiles. "Could be good for that."

-------------

Rowena, who was riding with Rhis, puts her arms around him.

Ildor catches this and thinks on things. He was trapped between his friendship and his wish to cement ties with the elves.

[Inkshade]

"Yeah...his father is in simple terms a grim reaper....disturbing comes naturally to him." Vito sighs.

"Brother, can I hold her?" Luca asks

"No Luca, I don't think Elias would be comfortable with that." Vito sighs

Luca gets very close to vito's face "Why?"

"Because you sound like a psychotic freak you creepy little welp." another demon says, arriving.

"Didn't know you were back in the area Daito." Vito says "Hows your dad?"

"fine." the new demons says and looks at Vanora "Can't even keep her concious can you Vito? How dissappointing..."

"This isn't my fault!"

Daito looks at Elias "I see. so she is going to throw herself into the same shoes as mother and live a life of needless sorrow how charming."

----------

Claire moves in slashing and stabbing at Crytax.

Airou clenches his fists "That's not gunna' happen scumbag!" he shouts at Kaizo and takes a protective stance in front of Aikia

----------

"Yes, I could pull any forces into the traps." Estelle nods

--------

Rhis smiles and places a hand on Rowena's "It...went so well, don't you think?" he asks softly "I was expecting to be sent back but...." he chuckles.

Osiron gets close enough to Ildor to have a conversation "Ildor...thank you. I don't know why I ever thought this would have been different." he says with a light smile "It's...not all either, coming out about Rhis...it has...persuaded me to do something I should have long ago...." he chuckles "This one...you're the first to find out. Not like it balances anything out but....." he glances at the others to be sure they were out of earshot. "I'm turning around.quite a bit...getting passed the past and so on. I...have asked Lady Mirael to marry me, and she has accepted...the great bachelor is soon to be no more...heh."

[Dynamax]

"You shut up about her." Elias snaps at Daito. "i know what happened to her mother...and I'll die before I allow it to happen to her."

"Great, the new help is as charming as the guy that just abandoned us." Anastasia says as she catches up, Gregor following.

"Why are you all standing around like this? Those four are regrouping and with their comrade dead, they're pissed." Gregor snaps.

"I won't leave Vanora's side, not with Vadris going wild." Elias says. "But why is Mr. Bluestone able to fight like that?"

"He's from this side, that's about all i can tell you." Gregor says.

"Who are you people who dare to interfere? Tell me so I have something to carve on your graves!!" Vadris says.

"Do try not to piss him off too much. He's been holding back for Vanora's sake but he's walking a rather thin line." Mr. Bluestone says to Luca and Daito. "I'd rather not have to go all out because he's having a fit now."

---------------

Crytax gets cut a few time. "You annoying little bitch. I was TRYING to fight you fair and square but you just made me MAD!!" Crytax bgins to cover his body with a thick layer of ice. "Try and cut me now."

Trophis matches him by lighting himself on fire.

"This is not good." Jagi says.

"Heh...heh heh heh HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" Kaizo laughs. "Seriously? Do...do you know we are?" He looks at the others. "Alright boys, this one wants a fight and since he's a human we know we'll be fine. However to be fair we should send only on to kill him. Time for the game." He then hold up four straws. "Red tip gets the kill."

The trio each grab a straw.

"Bollocks." Honzai cursed.

"Crap." Ronka didn't get it.

"YESSSS!!" Ginza cackled as he held the red tipped straw. "THE BOY IS MINE!!"

"Very good Ginza. Be sure to kill him painfully." Kaizo says.

----------

"Or push, Roylan does love his wall traps." Adona says.

----------

"Dad and Osiron are very close. You know what happened with Uncle Dagren, Aunt Misentia and of course your late aunts and uncles. They're tied by a blood stained past." Rowena puts her arms around him. "Dad wept openly when he your Dad told him what he did. He felt so guilty that he has never forgiven himself."

"So that explains her chipper mood. Adona approached you in private huh?" Ildor sighs. "Anything i need know of?"

[Inkshade]

Daito laughs "Boy you don't even know the begining of the story behind her mother so shut your mouth."

"Daito...you're rude...mother would be angry..." Luca says

"Oh shut up you freak." Daito sighs

"Stop yelling at him." Vito snaps.

"All three of you be silent!" a third, commanding voice says. Behind Vadris was another red-haired demon. "I apologize for my brothers Vadris, Luca is young, Daito does not know when to hold his tounge and Vito well, he has a bigger heart than is good for him." the demon smirks "I am Loruel. We are not here to stop you from obeying your King, only to protect our dear sister. Play your cards right, and we're on your side, which is higly beneficial to you, trust me." he chuckles.

Vito growls "You step outside your bounds Loruel!"

"Shut up. You didn't really think we were here to fight him did you?" Daito asks "We just want to make sure she doesn't get hurt in this battle. We'll fight whoever harms her."

-----------

Claire sighs "I get the upperhand and you throw a fit? It was never fair." she leaps back next to Jagi "Any ideas?"

Airou glares "Don't be happy, you just drew your demise." he says

Ammon looks at him You can't beat him without magic Airou...but can you accept that? Can you be what I think you are? he smiles, feeling the ground shake below him. "Excellent!"

------------

"Of course." Estelle nods

-------

"My aunts and uncles? I...don't know the whole story." Rhis says "I've put two and two together though...the empty mansion...this massacre everyone mentions..."

"No, not really. Adona found out somehow and wanted to talk to me about it." Osiron says

[Dynamax]

"What?" Mr. Bluestone says. "You'd actually consider siding with the man responsible for so much devastation in this world Loruel?" He glares at him. "That boy in the end, no matter how he feels, would just end up using her and throwing her aside like so many others. If he is allowed to free his Father...then it's all over. Not even I, nor you mother, nor the Devil King could beat him, that is why he was sealed away where none could touch him. Vanora, her mother...all would be lost."

"You...you met my Father? Tell me 'Butler', who ARE you?" Vadris demands.

"It doesn't matter who I am. The only relevance is you. If you harm that boy, Elias, you will break Vanora's heart, any of you. If that happens, I will not care who you are, you will answer to ME." Mr. Bluestone's eyes turn bright green. "Tell me, is protecting her heart and soul in your plan of action or not?"

"Are you three...related to the Queen?" Elias asks. "If so then why would you consider attacking us, her comrades?"

-----------

"Well I didn't go two on one with YOU...until now." Crytax yells.

"Hard to say. They're stronger and harder to hurt now but still...dumbasses." Jagi says. "Umm...Vicky?"

"Call me that again and I will flash fry you." Victoria says.

"Ok...well...Miss Victoria....care to magic them?" Jagi says.

"Magic them? Wow, very specific of you. WHAT KIND OF MAGIC DO YOU WANT DUNDERHEAD?" Victoria yells.

Crytax looks over to Trophis. "It's like watching us fight."

---------------

"My, my, quite the mouth you got there kiddo." Ginza says, spreading his talons. "You don't realize I was the worst choice to fight. My speed is legend. Blink and you'll miss your entrails being freed into the open air."

--------------

As they turn into the main area they could spy Rothion and Makarr approaching.

"Good. They came back." Adona smiles.

-------------

"I will let Osiron tell you. It's not my place." Rowena says.

"Good then." Ildor says. "I am glad she played matchmaker."

[Inkshade]

"We are demons 'Mr.Bluestone', devistation is our oxygen. Vadris wants the same thing we do, so we'll arrange something. After all, we must do what is best for mother." Loruel says

Daito shakes his head "Comrades? Short lived creatures like yourselves are more like pets. Mother would only concern herself with that woman, and that's because she's Vito's blood."

"Ignore them Elias, and I will explain later, but to put it basically the Queen and I aren't what we seem..." Vito says. He glares at Daito "Let any of her friends die and Vanora will hate you forever."

Luca whimpers at that "No..."

"He get's it." Vito says "Tell me Daito how a child like him can understand and you can't? Does it not penatrate you thick skull?" he smirks.

Vanora stirs slightly in his arms.

Luca sees this and once again get's very close to Vito to look at her.

"Vito, you believe that she is safest with these rebels? With a man wanted by this Kingdom, outlaws and traitors? Such poor influences. I thought you were one of the smart brothers." Loruel says.

---------

"I don't think 'magic them' is the term Jagi..." Claire sighs.

---

"Then I just won't blink." Airou says "And the only entrails we'll be viewing are yours. I don't take too kindly to those who threaten my friends. Fast or not, legends are just stories, and stories have ends."

---

out of the ground bursts a giant worm like monster. Ammon jumps on it and looks at Honzai and Ronka "Gentlemen, shall I take you both on now, or do we want to do this one at a time?" he asks.

-----------

Estelle nods "horray..." she thinks

------

Rhis nods "Ok. Hey...stay close to me during this...I don't want you getting hurt."

"Heh, yes I supose she did." Osiron chuckles.

--------

Gaz and Caed appear next to Melgath. Caed doubles over, his ears ringing so he couldn't hear and he felt like nails had just been driven into his skull.

"EH?" Melgath looks at them "CRASHING A PARTY ARE YOU GAZ? WHO'S THE KID?"

"Not party crashing, news bringing! Where's Dahak?" Gaz asks

"DANCING WITH HIS FIANCE."

"Really? Eh, I'll tell Gamu first then. Come on Caed, you can meet your mentor after he's done."

Caed just groans.

"Or do that. Shake it off." Gaz sighs and runs over to Gamu "Heeey buddy. Fancy shindig you got going here."

------

Dred pats his horse "I know buddy...all this dumb mud makes walking hard. Because you're a horse..."

Lakyri was on the horse, Dred having insisted on it, saying if she were a stealth soldier, mud would slow her down. she looked sad, as she could hear fighting.

----

Caedmon sighs. Since he had returned with Brann to the castle, Brann had not stopped cursing him and screaming about how the brothers didn't constitute as 'help' and that they should not have left.

"You think she would be content with that?! 'Oh well, they won't let anything happen to her daughter so, we could leave.' YOU ARE THE MOST COWARDLY POOR EXCUSE FOR A DEMON I HAVE EVER SEEN! Why on EARTH I'm letting myself be mentored by YOU is FAR beyond me!"

[Dynamax]

"THEN TEST ME!!" Elias' runes glow brightly. "COME AT ME IF YOU DARE." A blue aura begins to surround him. "I LIVE AND DIE FOR VANORA, I WILL NOT HAVE SOME STUCK UP BASTARD DARE TO QUESTION THAT!!! I AM HER SWORD AND SHIELD!! IF MY FATHER, OR YOU, OR ANYONE EVER THREATENS HER THEN I WILL BRING THEM DOWN!!" The area around him begins to burn as the aura literally become blue flame. "NO ONE WILL HARM HER EVER AGAIN!!" He then takes up a fighting position. "Now get your demonic ass down here if you object to my statement."

Rondar takes a step forward but Mr. Bluestone raises his hand. "It is time Rondar. His power has come to bear it's fruit. Stand down and let the boy fight if it comes to it."

-----------

Victoria sighs. "I'll blast them with lightning then." Victoria points and a wild bolt flies out, nearly hitting Cassius by mistake. "I...forgot to practice that one."

-----------

"True but they tend to end in a great final showing. You're nothing" Ginza suddenly appears beside Airou and kicks at his head. "to me."

-----------

"Please don't disrupt this system now. You unfairly teamed up on and murdered poor, pathetic Goshin. Let's play fair this time around and keep it one on one like gentlemen. Besides, you might want to try your luck at avenging your soon to be dead friend there." Kaizo says, speaking for his subordinates.

--------------

"My Queen, you recalled us?" Rothion asks.

"We might be facing another threat. It seems Dagren still lvies and is baiting the King. We have to assume he's planning an attack here."

"Dagren? I...I see." Rothion was shocked.

"What do you wish me to do?" Makarr asks.

"Stand by your master as always Makarr and rend any who stand in your way." Adona says.

----------

"You might find things reversed my Love. In a real fight I can be quite the threat." Rowena says.

"And you are ok with this? Mirael is a good woman but...are you doing what is best for you?" Ildor asks.

------------

"What are you doing here?" Gamu asks. "Tell me you're not part of tomorrow's trap."

------------

"They're fine." Phillipe says, glancing at Lakyri. "You need to have faith in them."

[Inkshade]

Loruel frowns "What right do you have to speak to me like that? What claim do you have on her, do tell." he laughs "A lover? Hardly, if she is eyeing other men as well as yourself. You have no right to threaten me, no matter your passion. You have not proven to me you are worthy of even showing her passion. My brothers and I, we have that right; the right to make such passionate declarations. It is our blood right. To ever protect our only sister, from anything that might harm her. Even little boys like you with their flaming bodies and naive outlooks on life."

Luca shifts "Brother...." he mutters with worry.

Vito frowns "I'd back off Loruel, you do not know this boy."

---------

"Might I suggest using a spell you know well milady?" Claire asks

---

Airou is hit and spins. he thinks fast and extends his blades so the recoil became a spinning slash.

------

Ammon seems oddly happy "Who Airou? Naw, he's fine. In fact, for your friend's sake I hope he doesn't get him too angry. Or beat him up too bad, because then I'll have to do something I don't want to, but if it makes him live, alas I must. There's a lady involved you see. A charming and firey little blonde. I'm lucky."

----------

Mirael walks over to them "I sent word to my uncle, and am cousin is on her way."

----------

"Is that so? Well good. I'd rather you be capable of defending yourself than to rely on me." Rhis says

"Yes...I...it's about time I did this. I need to move on, and Rhis needs a mother. He's grown up most of his life without one. Mirael is willing to help me and, with any luck they will get along. There won't be interfearence with Rhis having claims to my House either, with Mirael being from a house of equal stature, any children we have can inherit her house....It's honestly a good match....a bit odd that she watched both you and I grow up...but...who knows, that could bring us closer...It certainly has with Vaughn and the woman he has his sights on."

----------

"Trap? No. This is something else. We're going to war, Dagren is alive and Ildor wants everyone getting back to the castle to defend for an attack because he's off helping Vadris." Gaz says.

-------

"I do...it's just things don't sound great...." Lakyri says.

[Dynamax]

Elias drops his weapon and raises his hands and speaks in a tongue not his own. A bright flash fills the area. When the light subsides Elias is standing on what was part of the ground, which was now a humanoid mass of rock and dirt, right in front of Loruel. He pulls his weapon out of his shoulder and points it right at him and speak in a tongue Loruel wouldn't know.

"The boy just created and Earth Elemental from nothing and is now saying 'Is this a good start in showing you my right?'. Do step off Loruel, I am orders by Vanora's mother to bring these people home at any cost. I will not destroy you...but I will leave you wishing I did. If he does not do it first." Mr. Bluestone says.

"What...what is going on?" Anastasia asks.

"Our runes...are of the race of beings we call the Ancients. My son and I...we are now receptacles of their power." Rondar explains. "The power, it is what causes the problems with our emotions. We are adjusting to great power."

----------

"That'd be fire but the ugly horse freak uses it." Victoria says.

"I AM NOT UGLY!!" Trophis yells.

"Oh shut up, no one is talking to you. We don;t want to risk brain damage." Victoria yells at him.

Crytax begins to laugh as Trophis snorts flame. "WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON?"

"Mine, which is to say the bosses." Crytax says.

Victoria smiles. "Sucks to be you then ugly Horse Face. Fatso there seems to be the more valued one."

---------

"Oh that'd work, if you were not swiping at an afterimage." Standing a few feet to his right was Ginza. "Not bad sped for a human I must admit, decent reaction time too. I can't get cocky with you." He spreads his wings. "Good news, I have to try."

-----------

"I wouldn't interfere. This is a duel after all. Do you not know of proper duel etiquette? We can't interfere, neither can you. It's not proper." Kaizo says. "I wouldn't want to have to go all out and kill you. This is nothing personal, it is a fight between two men not reflecting on either side."

-------------

"Good. That will be of use." Adona says.

-------------

"People underestimate me, and i let them. It works to my advantage...provided I don't freeze up..." Rowena says.

"And who would that be?" Ildor asks.

-------------

"Are you sure he meant us? This is a military operation and I can't leave Melgeth hanging. Roylan and I are key to it's implementation." Gamu says.

--------------

Phillipe turns around,s eeing the Elemental from there. He pulls out a telescope from his travel bag and looks. "Ummm...you see the blue flame on that giant thing. It's....Elias. I think they're fine." He gulps. "When could he do THAT though?"

[Inkshade]

Loruel looks at Elias "Funny, you do that, and you lose her. Because mother would never let her daughter be with anyone who hurt one of her children." he chuckles.

"Oh stuff it Loruel!" Vito shouts "Mom like Elias, she kept an eye on him while he was over on the other side and if you keep this up she'll treat his beating your ass like any of us fighting!"

Loruel sighs and rolls his eyes. he looks over Elias "I don't have time for you today. You aren't why I'm here."

----------

"Seems so." Claire nods.

----

Airou whips around to look at him. he holds one blade in front of himself and the other backhanded so it protected his back to an extent "You're damn right you will." he says. he doesn't show it but Ginza's speed had put him off a bit.

--------

Ammon looks away a moment, seeing the earth elemental "Ahhh, so they are! Small world...funny how such things happen." he looks back to Kaizo "Oh yes, we must abide by the rules however, would that not also mean that neither parties should have a handicap? Both should be fighting at full strength, and alas, my hopeful brother in law there has a handicap, that is putting your friend at an unfair advantage. I think it well within the rules for me to remove said handicap." he says

----------

"Yes, and she is known for being prompt." Mirael says.

----

"And that's what I'm here for, in case you do freeze, I can be there to protect you." Rhis says "You're the most important thing in my life...I'm not letting anything hurt you."

Osiron chuckles "Believe it or not, your older daughter." he says

-----

"Well, probably not, but I figured you should know. I'm pretty sure they want Dahak though." Gaz says. "Ildor's off to help the five with Rondar. That strapping young man over there found his men and reported them. We've got them right where we want them! And it's all because of that kid!" he says and points to Caed wh was still hunched over. "He's never teleported before today."

-----

Lakyri looks "I don't know but I bet he's kickn' butt..."

"that's the spirit!" Dred says

[Dynamax]

Elias does not even flinch. "Then let me put this in a language you can understand because I am going to say this only once. You and I have the same goal, keeping Vanora safe. If you wish to help her, then you're going to do one of two things. The option that suits us all quite well is drive off Vadris here as I promised Vanora he would not be harmed, because her happiness comes first to me, and make sure no one dies. If you're not, then you're going to step aside and let me do what must be done."

He then lets out an annoyed sigh. "I'd be glad to have you as allies, but given my mood and how people seem to be trying their hardest to piss me off today, I'm in the mood to wreck something." He then leans in. "By the way, people working for Vadris and my Uncle kidnapped her and Vadris tried to mind control and seduce her. You still want to work with them? Is she safe with slavers and scum"

Vadris glares at him. "Why you impertinent little bastard."

"Deny it Vadris...I DARE you." Elias says. "This is your last chance to leave intact. I'll even be willing to go as far as to stand between you and Thimos to ensure your safety, but know that offer is a limited time deal."

-------------

"Grrr...I am SICK OF YOU!!" Trophis turns and punches Crytax. "I'm the older one, I have more experience. I should lead us."

"You can't tell your head from your ASS!!" Crytax yells. "They're trying to get us to fight half wit."

"THEY SUCCEEDED!!" Trophis tackles him and the two begin to trade blows.

"And they're done with." Victoria says.

--------------

"Tell me, why is her safety so important? Did you fall for her sad little eyes and heaving bosom?" Ginza says.

--------------

"Why do you get all the fun?" Karn had gotten back up. Helping him up was Thimos.

"Hmm? Interesting fact. Fine. He's fighting for the lady's honor so she gets to pick his helper." Kaizo says.

"Then I choose myself." Aikia says.

"SISTER?" Thimos was surprised.

"He's fighting my fight, I should be there, besides, that makes this a three on three here." Aikia smiles.

"Yeah....YEAH..." Karn grins.

"Fine, dibs on Honzai." Thimos relents.

"Oh bloody Hell, you always pick me." Honzai yells. "I don't even hate your family like Vadris does."

--------------

"That I know." Adona smiles.

-------------

"And i am here to keep you from being reckless. Much like I do for Glory." Rowena says. "And you're just as important to me as she is...if not a percent or two more."

"Hmmm?" Ildor turns and looks at Vaughn. "So then you'd technically be my daughter's brother and another's father in law." He sighs. "That would make most parties happy..." He gets to thinking.

--------------

"Hmm, well sure. Just tell Adona she'll have to marry them." Gamu says. "Don't forget about Kibek or Lady Naprista...though she'll be loving all this chaos."

"There's the Lakyri we know and love." Phillipe says.

Loruel looks at him "I won't be fighting Vadris, because from the looks of things, she cares for him too. And along with that, he and I have something to discuss. And consider this; had she not been taken, would you have even met your father? Would you have found young Rhisiart? And what of you're foster father? Why, he'd still be in a cell. So many good things have come from a small, evil act, in which she was never in danger."

Luca looks at Vanora, and smiles seeing her eyes open slightly.

Vanora's eyes open slowly, and she looks around "U-uncle Vito?"

Vito looks down at her "Vanora, you're awake."

"Ohhh....her eyes are pretty too..." Luca mutters. "But brother..."

"Shhh, Luca. Later." Vito says

"Who?" Vanora asks as Vito sets her down, she was a bit put off by Luca's staring. she looks around and frowns "No...you...you're all fighting..." she tears up a bit. she spots Elias and Vadris and steps back a bit in shock. "E-Elias?...V-Vadris?"

Claire watches "Hmm. Well alright then."

-----

Airou glares at Ginza "You know what? YES! And that being said, any of you who threaten her is a dead man."

------

Ammon looks at Karn "Soooo...which do you want because I don't care regardless."

-----

Rhis chuckles "Really? Is that so? Well don't you worry, I won't go doing needlessly risky things. I've got a lovely reason to keep living." he smiles.

"Yes...hmm, I supose I would be wouldn't I?" Osiron says "That would cover the two marraiges we promised the elves..."

Vaughn holds onto his dragon, breathing deeply. The elevation was teetering on the edge of bothering him, he would have to descend slowly.

"Oh yeah! those two!" Gaz nods. "I'll be sure to tell the Queen."

Cecilia smiles at Dahak.

------

"Yeah..." Lakyri smiles

Dred plays with his necklace as they walk "They must be keeping them all pretty busy. I was expecting one of 'em to come after us." he comments.
