Sane
Sane wiped the tears away. He gritted his teeth. "Raysomi, let's see that ship of yours." Sane himself sent a message to Soma, Soma, I gave up Algo because it wasn't me. Like that isn't you. I'm coming to Rykross to kill Sha-Vare. And if you get in my way. I will Sane paused. I will kill you Sane then sent a powerful wave after his message to disable her mind from sending any other messages. It even gave her a headache and a sense of how much more powerful Sane has gotten.
Sane then clenched his fist. In a demonic sounding voice Sane said, "Let's go."
Typhus
"Why do I always get myself into these situations?" He said as he began to pull himself up. He made it to the top and looked around. The room had darkened itself. "Damn. Sani? Where are you?"
Sani
"Come on Typhus! I need help here." She yelled out as she kept her grip on the blade. The ghostly figure continued to punch Sani in the head. Her vision was beginning to fade.
(Dorn and Nara)
The two charged forward, soon entering the large chamber of Ikuto Tower. Immediately, Dorn raised an eyebrow when he saw a blue-haired man grappling with Sani. Gritting his teeth, he drew his bow and nocked an arrow.
"Nara," he said. "Go help Sani grab that sword. I'll swap some arrows upside that blue-haired man's head."
"But... Dorn, if I don't have any program access, then I won't be at full-"
"It's all right, Nara." He pulled his bowstring back, aiming dead-center for the man's head. "As soon as I launch this, go."
"I..." Nara thought for a second, then nodded. "All right."
Dorn tensed, then released the arrow, watching its course carefully. Immediately, Nara ran towards Sani, slashing the man as soon as she got close enough to him.
(Kyle/Sara)
"There we go..."
Kyle jumped off his penguin, then helped Sara down off of hers. "Ikuto Tower. Let's go make sure Typhus is all right."
"I hope he is," Sara replied.
"Me too- he's pretty good to have around in a fight." As soon as they reached the tower doors, Kyle stopped. He drew his blades. "Hear that, Sara? Someone's fighting up ahead..."
"That could be Typhus! We have to help him!"
Drawing her sword, Sara took in a deep breath, then she and Kyle entered Ikuto Tower.
(Soma)
"How cute... Sane just threatened to kill me," Soma cooed to Sha-Vare. "Isn't that funny, Sha-Vare?"
"He will not," Sha-Vare replied, stroking Soma's cheek gently. "He thinks you can still be saved. Sane Terrace is a coward."
"That he is, my love... not like you. His parents would be ashamed of his cowardice and weakness. Someone should remind him of that."
Laughing cruelly, Sha-Vare smiled at Soma. "That I must, if he wants to pay us a visit. However, I think I can come up with something that will anger him even more." He leaned close to Soma's ear and whispered a few sentences. She reacted with a surprised gasp, her surprise clear on her face as Sha-Vare leaned back to gauge her reaction.
"An interesting plan, is it not, Soma?" Sha-Vare asked. "It will help guarantee our securing of the New Moon of Alis, as well."
Soma looked at Sha-Vare, then her expression softened considerably as her lips formed a crimson crescent of a smile. "Yes," she purred. "Oh, Sha-Vare, you always did have the best of plans."
Sha-Vare's response was to passionately kiss Soma. As he and Soma started to go through their motions, Sha-Vare transmitted to Sane, Sane Terrace, I make you a proposal: We switch places, just as you and Kyle Majsio have. Everything you have will be mine, and all that I have shall be yours: Motavia, Dezolis, Rykross, Edagura... and Soma.
Typhus
He still couldn't see anything. He looked around frantially as he heard familliar voices in the room but they were clurred. What was going on? He felt something on his head. They were hands. Dropping his sword he felt the hands. They were soft and kind of cold. There was a familliar warmth to them. Sniffing through the air, he still smelled death but there was something else. Perfume.
He ducked in a fast jerking motion hich got rid of the hands and turned. He saw a figure smiling at him. "Remember me?" the voice said. Typhus shook his head", Ï'm afraid I do not." She looked at him, her smile faded. "You can't even remember your own girlfriend?" Ï wish I could but, there is much about my past I do remember."Typhus sighed, Ï wish you were one of the things I could remember."He heard a slicing noise in the dim lit room. "Damn! Sani!" He ran towards where Sani had called out before him and saw Nara slashing at the ghost. He joined in now relizing he dropped his sword. He used his nails to help fight.
Sane
Sane recieved Sha-Vares message. He replied, Sha-Vare. You can take that offer and shove it up your *. You were able to trick me last time that way by manipulating my heart. This time it will not work. We both know even if you and I were to switch places you'd still remain a being of hate. Besides. I've come to realize that the only way to truly save Soma is by... Sane stopped as he thought of his last resort. killing her. SAne disallowed anymore messages after that. He followed Raysomi.
Sani
Nara had just slashed the ghostly figure. Catching him off guard Sani, as well as the sword were thrown across the room. "Nei! Return to me." The figured yelled out. Continually dodging the attacks made by Nara and Typhus he continued calling out to the sword. "No Nei!" Sani yelled out. It seemed strange that the two were calling out to a sword as if it was alive. "You're rightful place is as a protection against the darkness. The one who wields you now is no more. His purpose for you has been served. You are needed once again to fight against the darkness. And I am the one who shall destroy that darkness with your strength." SHe yelled out. With the Nei-Slasher in one hand she extended it high in the air, concentrating on only the sword.
"BECOME ONE! NEI!!!!" She yelled out. Her voice echoed throughout the room as the sword vanished. Reappearing in her hand the dark aura that surrounded the blade had become a bright color. "This isn't over. Each and everyone one of you are going to die here!" The ghostly figured yelled out. THe ground quaked, the dark aura he was emitting from his body was extremely powerful. More powerful than the group might be able to face. Gripping both hands on the Nei-Sword Sani braved the darkness, ready for whatever outcome might come.
(Soma)
"'Save' me?" Soma asked Sha-Vare, before laughing derisively. "He thinks he's going to be my knight in shining armor... so childish. He's had his chance, Sha-Vare."
"He's a coward. Rest assured, Soma," Sha-Vare replied, smiling at Soma. "Algo is nearly ours. That, my love, is merely a matter of time..."
Sha-Vare kissed Soma once again, and as he stroked her cheek lovingly, he continued, "It is only a matter of time before my ruby-lipped queen gets to rule an entire solar system."
"All thanks to my knight in moonlight armor," was Soma's reply as she sat up to kiss Sha-Vare. "Now, where were we...?"
"Preparing for the New Moon of Alis, I believe. Our future."
(Dorn/Nara/Kyle/Sara)
With a shriek, Nara punched the shadowy figure in the stomach, feeling a small twinge of satisfaction as her claws disappeared into the figure's body. She raised a surprised eyebrow as she didn't see any effect. "I think this might be a little out of our league!" she shouted as she slashed with her free hand.
"And I don't think running's an option," Dorn replied as he raised his hand. An orb of water appeared in it, then flew towards the shadow as he shouted, "Na Wat!"
Again, there didn't seem to be any real effect on the shadow, who only glared at the group. Footsteps started to echo behind Dorn as he started to charge another Na Wat.
As Nara punched and slashed again, she smiled. Kyle and Sara entered the large chamber, blades drawn. Kyle raised an eyebrow and asked, "What the hell is that?!"
Dorn/Nara/Kyle/Sara, together at last!)
Nara continued to punch, kick, claw, and slash the dark figure, but still couldn't find any wounds or scars to show her efforts. If only I could get my scanners out, she thought as she lunged. I could find out why this monster isn't injured...
The demon's foot suddenly impacted Nara's stomach, and she wheezed involuntarily with the attack. What!? she thought. I wasn't programmed to do that! Her surprise continued as the monster withdrew its foot, its warped and gnarled claws leaving bloodied wounds.
...Blood?! I KNOW I wasn't constructed with any blood- or blood substitute!
Uneasily, Nara backed off, her gloved hands clutching her bleeding torso. Kyle rushed forward, interposing himself between Nara and the demon. "Come on, now!" He waved his blades threateningly. "Pick on someone else, damn it!"
With a roar, the monster punched Kyle in the face, sending him flying backwards. His monosword and monoblade flew off in two different directions as he smashed against the wall.
"Urgh... good shot," he groaned.
Sara watched Typhus continuing his attack, Kyle running to retrieve one of his blades, and Nara trying to unsuccessfully heal her wound. Stepping away from Dorn, she reached towards the red-haired woman. "Here... Medice!"
Nara's wounds healed, to both Sara and Dorn's surprise. Barely acknowledging Nara's thanks, Sara turned to look at the monster. As she did, an image of a small deck of cards being shuffled appeared in her mind. As she raised her sword, a card was drawn.
The image was a grassy field with an archway of white stone rising from it. She charged towards the monster, her blonde hair flying back behind her, as she shouted, "Special Sword Technique- THE WHITE GATE!"
Holy energy radiated through the laconia blade as Sara swung at the monster.
As he nocked an arrow, Dorn raised an eyebrow. The White Gate... what kind of sword skill is that? he wondered. He launched the arrow, then continued, And how could she heal Nara? She's a robot...
