Land of Dragons

"You know, it's been a long time since I had a battle as good as this one. I think that this is the best battle we could ever have, don't you agree?"

Asked Aiden

"I couldn't agree more. In fact, if I had a dollar for every worthy opponet i've fought, i'd probably be in debt by now."
Macon couldn't help but chuckle at his lown quip.

"The choice to continue is yours. We can go hand to hand if you wish." Instinctively, he tightened his fists and dropped the smile from his face. Fighting someone like Aiden was infinitely refreshing. Macon had come to know more about him by fighting him, then he ever would've come to know by talking. Yet still he wanted more, and more still, he was hoping that Aiden might transform so that he might heat the battle up.

Both were near their limits, yet the fight within them burned on still.
 
"I couldn't agree more. In fact, if I had a dollar for every worthy opponet i've fought, i'd probably be in debt by now."

Aiden laughed in response to Macon's answer. Then he stared at the swords and, using the power of his mind, he was able to make his weapon come back to him. Aiden then graved the hilt of the sword and then he says.

"I see, so you are trying to make me use my transformation....ohh well, it seems it's pointless to make your waiting any longer....."

Aiden closed his eyes and suddenly he began to emanate a powerful aura and the graveyard was filled with gleams of light. Then, Aiden's hair grew longer and it changed to white. A single white angel wing grew on Aiden's back. The lenght of his sword incresed almost until it reached 6 feet long. Then Aiden opened his now green dragon like eyes filled with power. He still looked like a human, but one must never judge a book for its cover.

"Hehehehe...now it's your turn.....if you can transform that is...."

The look on Aiden's eyes could make even the mightiest of dragons to tremble in fear. It was as if Aiden lost all his sense of empathy, leaving an empty soul on his awake.
 
"Hehehehe...now it's your turn.....if you can transform that is...."

"Feh, Whatever..."

Said Macon unintimidated. He himself had faced enemies behemoth in size and countless in number during his previous adventures. No matter what, this would never even phase him remotely. But his eyes were a bit alarming, hell, they didn't even look like Aiden's eyes anymore. The man that he had fought blade to blade was gone, locked up of you will.

"Now normally, I don't do this in any old fight..."

He decided to face Aiden bare-handed with his style, and threw his concealed dagger to the ground, and away from the battlefield as fas as he could ... along with all of his clothes to avoid burning them.

His entire stature drooped into a slump. By the time his posture stopped slouching, he was barely standing.

As he calmed his breathing, and relaxed himself, a singe thought- no!- a single word entered his mind.

"...Unchained..."

And with that, a symbological circle erupted from under Macon's body, and expanded to over fifty feet in diameter. A smaller revolving circle that was about half the size appeared shortly after. The earth began shaking violently, as bone and dirt flew haphazardly through the air.

...And gigantic, green, glowing chains shot from the outer-most circle, piercing the innermost circle. Those chains, split into smaller chains and shot up from the ground, latching themselves all over Macon's body... and yes, even his manhood, much to his agony. They were growing, brighter, and brighter, and brighter still until they ignited, covering his body in green flame. His skin turned pitch black, and his small, curly crop of black hair ignited like a a giant candle wick.

He even breathed flame. Though his body was completely flame, the fires didn't harm him. He had always had that special affinity with fire. Anyways, the flames surrounding him were getting hotter and hotter, and brighter and brighter... Until the the very flames from him lit up like a shining becaon of fire visible to anybody within a twenty mile radius!

And of course, the chains fell into the ground and completely disappeared, not even leaving a trace to be found

And then finally, his transformation was complete. He was completely unchained. Utterly unbound to the chains of destiny, blood, and fate. He was the master of his own future and his own outcomes now.

"Ta-da!"

Said Macon sarcastically.

"Anyways, I hate transforming because it take WAY too damn long... did I mention that it is a bit cliched?"

Macon realized again, that he was barely talking to Aiden. Regardless, he went on, saying

"You should learn to not rely on your sword so much. There may come a time when you can't use it... Ah hell, with that out of the way, let's just get down to buisness."

And when Macon charged at Aiden, the second half of the battle began.
 
"You should learn to not rely on your sword so much. There may come a time when you can't use it... Ah hell, with that out of the way, let's just get down to buisness."

Aiden heard again Macon's words and he laughed. Then he tossed away his sword and he stood there, silent. Then he stared at black sky, and then he looked at Macon's transformation.

"And, who said, that I was going to use my sword? Hahahahahahahaha"

Suddenly, the strange sound of darkness filled the air with the hymn of the One Winged Angel. It was strange to think that this music was coming out of nowhere. As if, the darkness that was starting to fill the sky was responding to the power emanated by Aiden.


"You know, there was once a warrior so strong, that he once threten to destroy the world consuming into a sea of flames. Of course this happened a long time ago and it was forgoten in the pages of history leaving only a letter of his name behind, an 'S'. My power know is only a small remanent of that warrior. What would happen if I find the artifact containing his power? Imagine the things that I could achieve.....Do you know that warrior?"


Aiden's face was filled with a confident grin, as if he were someone different, someone ancient.
 
OOC: Yes I do have premission to use frenzy's character.

IC:
Ku woke up from a good nights rest, with his head still drowsy he went to the bathroom and took a shower. Which was something he really needed considering that in the past few months he hadn’t been anywhere near a shower. The last time he had time to clean himself was about a week ago when he had been camping on an utopia world, being the only sentient being besides a couple of dragons had been a pain though.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ku walked too the window and looked outside, it was a sunny day and Ku was just thinking about taking it easy while searching for allies when he noticed his other self and little sister walking past. Ku had taken this hotel because it was near his home so there really wasn’t much of a surprise, however he still hide himself behind the curtains while peeking outside. Suddenly a familiar sound roared through the street and Ku saw Nova’s dodge viper coming around the corner and stopping some distance away from his other self.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ku wasn’t sure whether Nova would risk exposing the fact there were 2 Ku’s walking around on this world at the moment but it would be better not to take any chances. Ku send a wave of harmless energy towards the car by merely pointing his finger towards it. It seemed like Nova noticed as she drove the car in font of the hotel and stepped out.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ku waited a few moment and eventually heard someone knocking on the door. Even if he hadn’t seen Nova entering he would have known from his sixth sense who was knocking. Ku spoke in his crappy English:
“Come in Nova.”
The opened and Nova stepped inside, charming as usual. Nova looked at Ku for a moment and then spoke:
*Ku, did you have some plans with me or something?*
Ku looked at himself, being only half dressed and just coming from under the shower would probably make a wrong impression on a normal person. Still Nova seemed to joke the situation away, after all the two of them had turned making fake romantic advances at each other into a game.
Ku smiled: *Actually, yes. But unfortunately I doubt you have time. I assume you have plans or something.*
Nova: *Actually I was planning to take a look at my other self. Turns out she’s on a student exchange program in Tokyo. Care to tag along. Or do you want to keep an eye on the little red haired girl out there? Who is she anyways, I didn’t think you would have a sister? *
Ku spoke serious again:
*I don’t, at least not in our world. However things are different here. Not only is she my sister but she also possesses magical powers. Though I don’t think it’s the same as your enlightment. Still thanks to that girl I can’t go around as I please, apparently she’s eager to find out who I am. Which would be a bad thing. *
Nova clapped her hands and said:
*That means your coming with me to Tokyo, I need a tour guide. *
Ku agreed and after getting dressed Ku packed his stuff and together with Nova he went back too the car. At the car Nova said: *Before I forget, I have a present for you. *
Nova walked to the trunk of the car and opened it. Ku looked inside and saw a carbon box. He opened it and inside were two long staves of metal, each about 1 meter in length. Ku felt them with his sixth sense and immediately understood what it was. The two pieces had no magical power in them at all, though the remnants of magic used to create it could still be felt. However each piece had an incredible density and weight. Ku picked them up and for the first time in ages he felt like he was holding an item with any weight at all.
<!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p>
Ku whirled the two around in his hands and then put the ends together, a mechanism locked the together and suddenly Ku was holding a two meter long pole weapon it’s weight was so much that a normal person would probably unable to even roll it over the floor. Still Ku whirled it around his body and over his shoulder as if it was made from wood. Then with a quick movement he disconnected the two pieces and said:
*Thanks, Nova~san. And it isn’t even my birthday…. o wait a second. * Ku thought about what date it was and then said *My birthday is in 6 days. Yay! *
Nova: *Glad you like it, now hop in so we can get on the road. There’s still plenty too be done. * and with that said they left Artogon city and headed for Tokyo.
 
"You know, there was once a warrior so strong, that he once threten to destroy the world consuming into a sea of flames. Of course this happened a long time ago and it was forgoten in the pages of history leaving only a letter of his name behind, an 'S'. My power know is only a small remanent of that warrior. What would happen if I find the artifact containing his power? Imagine the things that I could achieve.....Do you know that warrior?"

Aiden really was imprisoned behind that thing.

But macon stopped in his tracks, leaving the ground behind him aflame.

"Nah, I don't know that warrior, butcha' know what? I don't need to rely on the power of other. In fact... from what you're sayin', i'm gonna' grow to be a hundred times stronger and more!"

It was almost as if there was fire in his eyes. Ignoring the music but fueling his fighting skill off of the rythmn, Macon leapt up into the air. He was going to knock that smug little smile off of his face if it was the last thing he did. He hated overconfidence. With that in mind, the second part of the battle commenced.
 
"Nah, I don't know that warrior, butcha' know what? I don't need to rely on the power of other. In fact... from what you're sayin', i'm gonna' grow to be a hundred times stronger and more!"

Aiden replied Macon's answer with a smile. He laughed at the thought of being facing a man so confident on his own fighting skills.

"You don't know what you are talking about. You know why you don't know him? Simple, if you knew him then you wouldn't probably be here."

Aiden's face changed from an overconfident man to that of a strong warrior.

"Enough talk, we must end this little duel of ours now."

Aiden then dashed towards Macon, he was going to fight him unarmed. Before he could get near to Macon, Aiden disappeared in a cloud of dust, leaving only a trace fire behind. Suddenly he appereared behind Macon, and he stood there.

"I am ready when you are."

"Oh, I garuntee you that i'll becomse stronger... MUCH stronger!"

"I am ready when you are."

Said Aiden assuredly. But Macon wasn't the least bit scared or surprised. Like lightning, he dropped to the ground, once again digging his fingers into the earth. He shifted his weight over his his head, landing a fiery horsekick on Aiden as Macon himself went into a handstand.

"You know, it'd behoove you to stop acting like you know so damn much. Escpecially, when in the big picture, you don't know a damn thing."

Macon knew that above all, Aiden had him beat by a bit in swordsmanship. BUT when it came to hand to hand combat, Macon was in a league of his own.
 
Aiden was pushed back a little by Macon's attack. Aiden then dashed towards his oponent, landing a powerful blow using his fist surrounded in dark flames on Macon's chest. The attack pushed back Macon a little. Thunders and lightings were crashing at the sides of both warriors. The sky was filled with dark clouds surrounding the Dragon Graveyard. It was, as if nature was responding to the battle itself.


"You don't really understand this at all....."

Aiden then stood there, waiting for Macon's next attack, analizing his every move.

"This battle will never end, you know that as much as I do...."

Heh, I know that... But how about this: we finish the battle in one punch, and vow to become stronger than that unkown warrior!"

By now, both Aiden and Macon had completely forgotten combat technique, and had currently been reducing to kicking and punching each other as hard as they could. And although Aiden lacked skill, considerable fighting technique, and experience, he could however take a punch way better than anybody else he knew. Honestly, Macon's kicks in normal form could easily bend steel girters.

However, the fighting did need to come to an end. With that in mind, he concentrated all of his energy into his right fist for a calamitous closing attack, as he stepped back into a defensive stance.

And by all of his energy, I mean enough energy to shatter a mountain into rubble, enough energy to upheave all the earth in the dragon graveyard, and certainly enough energy to remind Aiden that he would in fact make good on his vow.

"I agree, but I have one advantage if we are to become more powerful than that warrior.....the fact is....."-Aiden then steped back, and then he began to concentrat all his might in the power of his fist. Thunders kept crashing down at the sides of both Aiden and Macon. Aiden then prepared to attack Macon and then he says: "The fact is that the cells of that warrior are already...inside of me!" After that Aiden dashed towards Macon, ready to deal the final blow that would end this battle.

OOC: How about ending this battle in a draw?

((Sure, let's))

"The fact is that the cells of that warrior are already...inside of me!"

"Ha"

Yelled Macon.

"All the more reason for me to become stronger!"

...And then they let their punches fly. Two astronomically high-powered punches colliding is definitely not a good idea. The end result was an enormous explosion, big enough to be noticeable from quite a few miles away. The level of destruction was a result of the impact was enormous as well, and any survivng dragon bones were raining down from the sky. The eaarth was charred and tron, with jagged rock and peaks of dirt pouring out of the ground like fangs through skin.

Both warriors were knocked a mile away at the least, hurt badly, and smoking from the chest area. As Macon got up to his feet, the only thing that he could manage to say was

"Damn."
 
OOC: I am sooooo sorry that I've been away guys. I've been doing lots of stuff outside. Especially sorry to you, RPGirl. Your storyline depends on my interaction :(

Serge and Squall have Levelled up :D (I'll edit it in a sec)

IC: Hera Ledro stalked through the mines, slaying the occasional beast that attacked him. He walked through the mines, using his water elemental abilities to dissipate particularly thick areas of fog.

He walked into a room where there was no doubt that the scent of Dracus lingered.

Hera! Jake called. Hera snapped to attention, abandoning his thoughts of vengeance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hera! Jake called. He noticed Tripod in the distance and started towards her, though his power was still fluctuating madly enough that it may startle her. I found tripod. You keep searching for Dracus, I'll watch after her.

Agreed, Hera replied. Just watch her like a hawk, don't let her out of your sight. Jake felt his 70x great-grandfather's mind sever from his and stalk off into the mines.

Jake ran along towards his ally, little clouds of dust puffing up where he stepped. He tripped, and one of his shoes came off, exposing a white-socked foot. Jake slipped his shoe back on and shot after Tripod, coming to a halt by her side.

"Hey," he said. "I'm Jake. You are Tripod right? Hera Ledro sent me to look after you."
 
ooc: Its okay, Hero-sama.

IC: "Oh, Hi Jake." Said Tripod as she giggled at Jake's trip. "The Baby dragon is with a friend of mine in Scotchland. She lives in the Loch, Her name is Nessy." Said Tripod to Jake. Then Tripod looked around, "Um, were is Hera-kun?" Asked Tripod as she looked at Jake.

"Oh and to answer your question from before, I'm aslittle okay, but me being around this dragontie...may...get..me..alittle...weak." Said Tripod as she feel the her knees. "I'm sorry, my legs gave out on me." Said Tripod in a weak voice.

OOC: As do I with Drach's character...
Nova and Ku retreated back to her car where he seemed truly pleased with her gift, and they hopped in and with some minor discussion they found a radio station they both liked. And with that they were on there way to Tokyo. Nova had been there once or twice but never for longer then an hour and never on a mission without any time constraints.


Following the signs in Tokyo was always fun, as the people tended to live in the same “neighborhood” for generations so some streets lacked street signs all together and the ones that were named were in Japanese, but with Ku reading them out loud as they passed them so they found there way to the “Tokyo Metropolitan Kokusai High School”where “the other” Nova was reputed to be studying. Nova realized that with her currant attire they would draw some undo attention and declared a shopping spree, they would get another set of clothing for Ku, that high school uniform was in bad shape and his jacket was outdated last year.


Nova had a lot less problems with finding Shinjuku, they found a few shops easily enough, and got Ku a nice Armani suit that made him look so sharp that she was positive sure she could use the air around him to shave her legs, as well as a few other necessities. She got him a pair of sunglasses to make him look even more like a “somebody who had dealings with Europe” which was far enough from the truth to not raise questions. He was old enough to be fresh out of high school and working his first job anyways, Nova got herself a suit by Hugo Boss with some accessories like a matching purse and some other nicknack's. Ku was stunned bu the change she had mad my putting on a slightly uptight suit, putting her hair in a pony tail and buying a pair of glasses, she went from being a cheerleader type to instant sexy librarian. A quick credit card swipe later she was good to go.


All they had to do now was park her car in a parking garage and call a cab, the story would be that they needed Nova to fill in some papers and that Ku was there as an interpreter, his English sucked but it was a good enough cover story for his English was still a lot better then the torture most Japanese people inflicted on Nova's native language. Nova was however getting sick and tired of his constant jokes about being “Kakutani, Ku Kakutani”. However he did seem to be more serious when the cab pulled over. Some rapid Japanese by Ku later they were n there way, nova took this to mean that she might be passable at listening when people spoke slowly and knew she wasn't ready for full blown Japanese the way people actually spoke the language. Well she had a translator handy... She was so glad she had run into him, as she hadn't known how lonely she had been until she noticed a familiar face, Single serving friends were cool and all but they were not the real deal. Ku and her went a way back and had similar experiences that made returning to there childhood friends impossible. In her case it involved a laser pen blasting a hole the size of a baseball through a geek's chest and in Ku's case well he didn't talk about his past that much but he had always sounded like he understood.


The cab ride ended, Ku took notes from his suits inside pocket and payed the driver, Nova could have payed but all her paper was plastic and that was always kinda hard for stuff like cab rides. Which is one of the reasons she usually arranged a car or something equivalent.
They walked in and Ku told the desk clerk whom they were, apparently this sort of thing happened a lot as they weren't even asked to ID themselves or anything. Before Nova had even adjusted to it being this easy and look around she was seated with the schools guidance councilor and the boss of the student exchange program. Both spoke passable English so Ku wasn't really required but it did help for when they didn't know a word. As it turned out Nova had adjusted herself with good grace to the schools environment and had picked up the local “traditions” with a grace rarely seen in foreign students. There had been some rumors that she had done some “inauspicious things” -one of the words they had a lot of trouble with- but those had all been quenched rather quickly and had probably been the result of somethings that are “proper” in America not being quite so proper here. After the conversation they asked if it would be possible to see Nova in her class room to see how she had adapted and to have Ku present her with a small list of questions, small things regarding some things that had become apparent with the currant problems with her homeland. She had pressed it on Ku that he was to behave himself with the school girls, it would simply not do to have to cover something up, they were doing something the New World Order and the other “powers that be” didn't approve off and only condoned off because they had an expendable scapegoat, namely themselves who cared about a reality deviant and some kind of weird dude that shouldn't even be here by all logic.


He scooted off through the door with slightly more gusto then Nova would have preferred seeing. After he had vanished they went to the class room where the local Nova currently had her “Currant Japanese History” lesson. They saw Ku knocking on the door and entering which indicated that he had gotten side tracked at least once on his way over here, but as far as she could see he didn't have a mark on his cheek that looked surprisingly like a hand nor were his clothing ruffled enough to be cause for alarm. So he seemed to know the proper way to pull someone from class with minimal fuss, Nova thought this was most likely due to being on the receiving end a few times. They vanished into what appeared to be an unused class room while Nova and the Officials retreated to the office for a spot of tea.


A while later Ku entered the room with the note pad under his arm and Nova and Ku left for the car after greeting the officials and thanking them for being so cooperative.
 
Shizuka looked over her shoulder, she was certain she felt something abnormal however her eyes didn't see anything.
Ku:
*What's wrong imouto?*
Shizuka shurged off the event, in the last day she had experienced enough weirdness. Now she just wanted to visit her family again.
*Nothing onii-san. Let's hurry, mom and dad are waiting*
Shizuka and Ku hurried home. Shizuka didn't know why but something told her that the man who had defeated her had left town, however that same thought also told her that she would be meeting him again somewhere in the future.
 
Aiden got up to his feet, he stared at Macon, both fighters had the same injuries in the chest, probably because of the ammount of energy that was released on that explosion.

"Damn"

In response to Macon's replies Aiden could only think in one thing to say was.

"Damn, that was one of the best battle I had. Let's call it a draw. I may have won the swordsmanship match, but you achieved victory on the Hand to hand combat. If we keep fighting like this, we will end up destroying the whole area."

Aiden then searched his pockets for something he was saving for Macon. It was a strange gem, glowing with the power of fire. Aiden tossed the gem at Macon.

"Catch!"

Macon caught the gem, suddenly, the gem began to emanate a powerful aura. It was filled with the elemental atribute of Fire.

"Take it, it is one of the Dragonic Spirit Gems, it will allow you to use the power of the fire dragon. I am sure you will like it! You are now Macon, the Guardian of Fire."



*Macon obtained the Fire Dragon Spirit.
 
"Well that's easy enough to fix," Jake said, blushing a little in embarrasment. Might as well use my anger to power something. Jake closed his eyes and placed the palm of his hand facing Tripod. He extended a tendril of energy towards Tripod, using it to cloak her. The light extended around her body, barely an inch from it's surface, forming a barrier that negated the effects of outside minerals on the body.

He opened his eyes and looked straight at her, grinning. His power was less of an inferno now, only a gentle flame waving around his body. "That should do it," he said. "Hera is going after Dracus." Jake's face hardened instantly. "I wish it were me going after him. After what he's done to my..." Calm Jake, calm, he told himself. Don't get worked up or you'll scare her.
 
Dracus rushes down the hallway and brakes hard to the right, and vanishes into a secert pathway. As Dracus rushes down the hallway he says "Looks like I'll need to block the way in case Hera is on my tail."

Dracus stops, and turns around, and yells "Dragon Typhon." As giant blast of wind cause the hallways to collapse.

Dracus then smirks and rushes out to daylight and takes off vanishing into distance.
 
Tripod looked at the anger on Jake's face. Tripod looked away, "Um, Dracus, is long gone by now. You two should stop trying get him now." Said Tripod as she stood up.

"Hera-kun should come back, I need to tell him about the yoki." Said Tripod with a little worry in her voice. I hope they don't find Dracus they might hurt him.
