Dexter fall on his knees. His mind becoming entrapped in his worst fears. He was alone in nothingness, he had no body and he wasn't breathing. He was just alone in darkness. Dexter may have been fast talking confident man. But his greatest fear was being alone completely. No hum of the city, no friends to drink with, no TV to watch, Just an endless pain and loneliness. Dexter just sat there in shock not fighting. Felix took over the body and boosted himself to his feet. But he suddenly found himself surrounded by blades.
Juvlar saw several people fighting. He effortlessly recognized the Seekers, and hurled himself onto one of the attackers. He put his hands together and rubbed them fast to create friction. Sparks appeared out of his hands and he threw a lightning bolt at the man. Juvlar fires Lightning Bolt (Nero Medium) at Ds
Jaharra screamed as the blades slashed into Koth, the sound coming out more like a pained roar as the reverse half of her swelled and grew even more powerful with her rage. Koth stumbled back, a deep bloody "X" in his torso that spattered the ground with crimson. His eyes were shadowed as he dropped the scythe, one hand going to the wound. "You will die!" Jaharra yowled at the top of her lungs at Ou, the beast within her enshrouding her thoughts, and her pupils completely dissapeared in the sea of red that was her eyes. Her body hunched over, black fur growing as her fingers changed to razor claws, the blades in her wrists shortening into small daggers. Snapping her fangs and throwing her head back in a wild howl, she launched herself at the Ceriels, shadows leaping up from the gorund and covering everyone in a black fog as she used Hunter's Prime instinctively. Koth drops his scythe and Jaharra goes Beserk, using Hunter's Prime (Strong Nero that boosts attack and speed and blinds everyone) she also attacks anyone who gets too close to her -namely the Ceriels.
Ou dashed against Jaharra to strike her with the same tactic, only to be countered by a fierce attack of her... still Ou considered this posibility and it was inside her calcs, as Ds readied a barrier for Ou.... But something went wrong in their calcks as Ds was suddenly striked by a bolt coming from behind that distracted their strategy "Who it is!!!" exclaimed Ds as he noticed someone that shouldn't be there according to their calcs.... As a consequence Ou was severely injured by Jaharra's attack, yet it managed to avoid a fatal blow, still now it had trouble to maintain its own composture. "Hs!... healing!!" screamed... yet that wasn't possible now As Nadeem covered in fire surrounded Hs with a circle of fire.... "I cannot focus... my visibility had been lowered by this curtain!!" screamed the Ceriel inside the fire. "This is so goood!!!!" screamed the reversed Nadeem.... "Hey Gerad go for the defender now that is distracted!!!" Yet Gerad didn't move at all..... "This is bad... " he said... "Everyone!!!" forgot about the battle, focus on your existence... the wormhole is being disrupted.... It will break sucking us all if we let our thoughts wave!!!!"

When Koth heard Gerad's shout her gritted his teeth and pounced on Jaharra, pinning her down. She thrashed and screamed, clawing him, but he grabbed her by her hair and threw it back against the ground, stunning her. "Sis, you are not gonna end up like i did! Now snap out of it before i have to zap you!" he growled, and Jaharra blinked, coming back to awareness. She buried her face in his chest and shook violently, both of them being coated by the blood flowing from his wounds in the process. "It's okay -you won't lose me yet, Jahri." he murmured, and they both focused on nothing but each other, of both being alive. Wherever one would go, the other would follow.
Felix jump on Ou's back while he was distracted with Jaharra. His body was covered in blood various blades had tore into him a couple of minutes ago. Felix sucked in a breathe and blew on Ou's head. Ice spread over Ou's head. Felix then sent a hard elbow at his frozen face, hoping to shatter his enemy. Felix flipped away from Ou and began to focus. He focused on nothing but himself and Dexter. He focused on their reality.
Juvlar looked at DS smirking. He understood the look of surprise on his face. "Not on your calcs, eh?" he said, drawing his gun. He took a few steps forward and pointed it at DS's head. He then asked: "Where is he... Tell me where he is! Quick! Before I blow out your brains on the wall!"
Smith was to slow even with his enhanced speed his only resolution was to cover his head with his arms crossing them in front of him. His body became surrounded by the wave of energy, then in an instant it vanished dumbfounded he quickly jumps back to distance himself from the battle trying to figure out what has happened. Then he hears Gerads words shouted out, he stands tall and tilts his head back slowly closing his eyes as he loses himself in his thoughts. He tries to focus his thoughts about himself but he finds it not being able to answer that question. "What the hell am I? Why am I even here?" he says under his breath in a trance like speech.
"Your attempts are useless!!" screamed Ou with an smile without worrying for being attacked. After all the dimension was shattering and this practically destroyed their attacks. Suddenly the wormhole itself started to twist, and if we compare it as a tunnel then picture the people inside shaking because the tunnel is bending itself!!! Gerad and Nadeem, both focused their thoughts into themselves... not aknowledging the fact that they will be destroyed by the wormhole... The figure of the Ceriels distorted with the wormhole, shattering into pieces!!! And then all shattered!!! the dimesion stopped existing at last!! the last balance that connected it, the wormhole was now nothingness... -------------- The cold made the bodies of the group to shiver... Once they noticed it, they landed into pure snow... and accompanied by a fierce storm... the image of winter itself!!. Nadeem who whore light clothes barely was able to withstood this cold... yet it generated flames on her body to resist it.... And then in front of them, the three figures.. the Ceriels stood ready to attack.. they also made out of the wormhole safely. Ou walked slowly to the group while saying "Hs... Ds... we're going for the C5-strategy..!!" Both Ceriels nodded and then Hs aimed her hands at Ou, while Ds aimed them at the group. A light shone over Ou... and another one over the group "You're now to be executed fragments!!!" Screamed Ou Gerad readied his blade for the incoming attack.... yet in less than a blink he was impaled by Ou's blade... "Huh?... what's this... how I didn't see her coming" said while spatting blood from his mouth. For the reader the law of Hs raised the speed of Ou.. while Ds's law lowered the speed of all the group. Thus the effect was that the speed of Ou in front of the group was proportional to the speed of a bullet train about to run a person!!!!
Jaharra snarled and crouched in front of her brother, and the man brought up his scythe threateningly, the silver blade gleaming in the snow. "J-judicator . . ." he mouthed, and suddenly the ground heaved as several hundreds of souls erupted from the earth, grabbing and restraining everyone so that they could not fight while the spell was yet to be cast. "You call upon the jury of the dead, Kothian, son of Wroth Switchblade. What crime do you state this being of beholding?" a hollow voice boomed, and a shadowy spirit drifted towards Ou, pointing a bony finger at him. "Attempt at murder." Koth said briskly, shaking as his power was quickly drained, and Jaharra screeched as he collapsed onto the ground. The spirit nodded and waved at the others, and they converged upon Ou, sending him into an iron cage and teleporting it away into limbo. It could neither attack nor be attacked for the next turn. "Everyone! Kill them now!" Jaharra screamed and used Hunter's Prime, boosting her speed back up to what it would normally be had she not been affected by any spells of her own or of an enemies'. Launching herself at Ds, she aimed to kill it before it could lower their speed any further.
"Mmmm they vanished Ou brother..." said Hs with a calm tone. "Fragments who think that without Ou we cannot face them.... foolish fragments.." replied Ds while being attacked by Jaharra... so in a curious fashion he was now spitting blood right after speaking. "Do not do a complete heal sister!!!... let's use that..." screamed Ds toward Hs... who nodded and raised her hand over him Then the wounds of Ds started to heal... but not completely, still Ds grabbed Jaharra's free hand and forced it to pierce his own abdomen.... blood spourted from it. Yet the wounds closed.... but not at all, trapping Jaharra's hand into Ds's wound in a bizarre way. Then several black needles formed around them... all aiming against Jaharra.... and then all fired against her... On the meanwhile the others prepared to fight too... but a sudden gust of winds distracted them... as they saw over them... several masses crossed the sky.... Gerad looked at them dumbfounded.... then he said... "Dragons.... besides Namila they shouldn't exist in this world..... " This means only one thing...But where are they heading.... is there a war?....Had this world changed to this degree on the short span of twenty years? Several flying creatures that could be called dragons passed over them... enough to be called an army. And over each dragon between four-five men were riding it. They wearing militar uniforms and carrying weapons that resembled rifles. In other words... Snipers riding dragons!!!... such thing could not be seen in this world before...!!! Ds traps Jaharra's arm and then fire black needles (Nero Medium) at her.
Felix growled as Ds attacked Jaharra. Dexter was still out of it, but slowly recovering from the mental attacked he had experienced. He wasn't to shocked by the dragons. Nothing ever really shocked Felix. But was calculating away to defeat his enemies or at least escape. His brain continued to work. But knew he had to act fast. Felix fired four fire balls. Two had Ds who was busy with Jaharra and other two at Hs. But he wasn't finished he waited for their reaction.
Jaharra roared in pain as each needle lanced into her, and when she heard the thundering of wings above she made a wild decision, shifted into Reverse mode, threw hear head back and roared to the sky as if she were a young fledgling in trouble. Ripping her arm out of Ds's stomach and stumbling back, Jaharra's vision blurred and faded dangerously as she lost a lot of blood from the wounds. Koth swung his scythe from above, aiming to cleave Ds in two as he yanked Jaharra away. Jaharra calls for the dragons by roaring and Koth swipes at Ds before pulling Jaharra away.
Prison "Ds!!" exclaimed Hs once her brother was given a fatal blow by Koth, inmediatly raised her hands to heal him... but two fireballs of Dexter distracted her. The body of Ds fell badly wounded, his body split into two, revealing part of the guts, and the snow under him covered in red.. Hs wasn't fast enough to heal him, as the fireballs distracted him... so for her it was a shocking revelation to see the dead body of her brother. Then suddenly five of the dragon riders descended surrounding the group.... apparently their attention was called by Jaharra's scream. One of the riders who carried an sniper rifle looked at the group and then said... "Identify yourself!! are you part of the Scion's army???!!!" Nadeem confused looked at the man then she said... "Scion..... but....that city doesn't exists.." "Don't play fool with me miss!!" screamed the man while pointing the rifle at her in a menacing way.... a person like that won't doubt before firing his gun. Suddenly a very part of the space broke and from a rip in the middle of the land Ou came.... apparently it managed to escape from the Judicator skill. Quickly it observed the situation, and the body of his/her brother split into two... then observed the dragon riders and realized what's going on. "We're allies of the prophet!!! " exclaimed Ou, then from inside his/her clothes it produced a letter and then showed it to the dragon rider. "The others are servants of the Ever Distant King.... thus part of the Scion's army" continued Ou... The man examinated the letter carefully, then he smiled and said. "That makes things easy for me" and he aimed again his gun at Nadeem, this time ready to fire, but it was stopped by the sudden scream of Ou "STOP!.... These people carry valuable information.... I suggest to send them to jail, after that we execute them" said with a composed tone. The man showed a smile of disgust, apparently through the letter it was indicated that this person,.... Ou, had a very important rank. "We'll arrest them and then lead them to Breudghan." "Hey... what's this?... who is the Ever Distant King?.. What's going on?" exclaimed Nadeem ready to counter attack... yet she fell to the ground. Her body felt weak and then she lost her consciousness. At the same moment, Ou and Hs covered their mouth and noses, the dragon riders threw some kind of sleeping gas over the group... ---------------------------------- Once Nadeem woke up.... the first scene she found were bars in front of her.... She looked around only to realize that she and her companions were trapped into a cell.... All of them were there, except one.... Gerad D. Poe, the hunter.... Still dizzy she stood up, and then she asked... "Hey.... where are we?.... where is Gerad?" She expected an answer from her companions... but a different voice replied to her. "You're in the city of Breudghan miss. A city once prosperous in the past, but now morphed for the war. As you could recognize, this is the northwest continent, hence the cold weather, totally different of your beloved Scion no?...." A man with an appearance that really didn't fit a prison was outside their cell. The man was tall and dressed with a business light brown suit. His hair was short and blue, and he also wore a pair of glasses... Also he smoked as the cigarrette in his hand pointed.
Dexter woke up in a daze. Felix had been in control when the gas hit. Dexter grinned he was happy to be out of that hell he was trapped in. But his face quickly turned sour once he realized he was in a prison. He stood up and grabbed the bar. He noticed Nadeem was the only one of companions awake. "Hey nut job, mind explaining why were in prison?" He asked in a very confused tone. Dexter's face seem to be twisted into a scowl. How the hell did they end up prison. Dexter finally noticed the smoking man. "Hey hair dye! What's the deal?" Dexter asked. Felix was currently in a state of rest.
The man expelled smoke in front of the cell then he continued "I already said it. You're in the city of Breudghan, currently in war against Scion... As you know, twenty years ago there was that big explosion that destroyed an island in mid ocean, then the one that we call the Ever Distant King, emerged from the island and build an empire in one single year.... something that cannot be done by a mortal." The man put the cigarette on his mouth again then looked at Dexter and said.. "This is an event that shaked the whole world in one single year.... Since that day a lot of strange and unexplainable stuff happened... like the appearance of dragons and other creatures... but more fearsome are the ones that guard Scion..... But this is as I said an event that affected the whole world.... so is normal for you to know it.... At least that you weren't when the event happened.... but that's ridiculous isn't it?" The last words were emphasized and then the man threw smoke to Dexter's face
Dexter flipped. "You fucking bastard!" He shouted. "Let me out of this damn spell!" Dexter stopped attacking the bars and face palmed, he smirked arrogantly. "Look hair dye, I don't know who you think we are or what we did. But let me tell you something, we are not ordinary people." He said pointing at himself. Dexter knew he was about to show this moron up. He clearly didn't know he was playing with fire. Dexter started thinking about what hair dye said. Island? king? "Hey is the king's name Athalia? because if so we were on the island about 1000 times." He stated flatly. "I'd be happy to tell you stuff, if you let me out or I could just blow your ass sky. Which ever?" Dexter asked smiling
The man composed looked at Dexter's eyes then he said... "The society doesn't know the true name of the Ever Distant King..... Do you expect me to know it?... " he did a gesture as if he were saying what a fool. He then looked at a wristwatch and then said... "Ok, you can play, try me... assuming that you can do something from inside the cell" said the smoking man with confidence... a clear challenge at the jailed man
Dexter shrugged "Fine hair dye you asked for it." Dexter's hands started to heat up and he grabbed the bars. Blazing inferno shot up the bars, he was attempting to burn through the cell. He was smirking as he did. This guy was a dick and Dexter hated dicks. His heat was far about metal's melting point.
The man calmed watched Dexter's attempt, he exhaled smoke from his mouth and smiled as if he were laughing at the poor attempts of the man... "You know?.... the bars are designed to be resistant to the <special people> that had appeared on this 20 years....... So using those tricks won't work at all..." He then pulled a gun from inside his suit then it threw it to Dexter... "C'mon I dare you to try something different... how about shooting me, that would be ideal no?... these are bars after all, there are spaces between." He then opened both arms as if he were offering himself as an easy target.... No, he was offering himself as an easy target, only to mock Dexter.
Dexter raised an eyebrow and picked up the gun. "Dumbass." Dexter stated with confident smile. Dexter aimed the gun at him. Dexter wasn't genius, but he was smart enough not to fire a gun given to him by whoever this was. Dexter acted like he was going to shoot but then did something unexpected he threw the gun at full speed at hair dye's head. The gun went clean through the bars and SMACK! While hair dye was distracted with taking the hit or dodging. Dexter hadn't really noticed if his attacked worked, because he was already moving. Dexter ran close to the bars and reached is arm out and grabbed hair dye by the shirt and pulled him face to face. Dexter's hand lit with flames and pointed it at hair dye's face. Dexter held him tightly. "Alright buddy, listen here unlock the cell or have a very bright day." He said seriously. Dexter knew this guy probably couldn't survive fire to the face, bars or not at such close range.
The man easily avoided the gun, but then he was quickly grabbed by Dexter who threatened him.. The tables were turned, the man was about to be scorched by Dexter... yet with confidence he continued to smile and said only two words... "First stance....." At this point whatever Dexter did had no longer importance... the man easily removed the hand of Dexter from his body.... Dexter could do nothing, as he wasn't able to act.... It wasn't as if his movement, or the flow of time were to be stopped.... still Dexter simply was unnable to act even if he wanted to. ".... Is a law move.... the law is simple, until I execute an action against you, you cannot execute any action..." Slowly the man step back, then he crouched and grab the gun that Dexter threw... this time he was at a fair distance to be safe from the man's hands. He carefully aimed, not to do a fatal blow, and then he shot... right at Dexter's shoulder... "Surprise... it was a normal pistol without any trick on it" Even if Dexter could now "act", as the man acted.... he wasn't able to reach the target.
Dexter managed to evade the bullet but it grazed his shoulder. Dexter glared at the man he called hair dye. He had hated a lot of people in the last few months but this guy took the cake. Probably because he reminded Dexter of himself in a way. "Hey hair dye listen well. I've met a lot of people who I don't like in these past couple of years. Crazy bitches, a family off ass clowns called the spawns, a guy named Gerad who is a hunter of sorts and of course fiction itself. I hated them all." Dexter stated locking eyes with hair dye. Dexter grinned. "But guess what I'm coming for you, understand that? Before whatever is happening is all said and done, you and me are gonna settle things. I'm going to kill you." He stated coldly. Dexter was about to send a fire ball, but was stopped by Felix. (Don't engage him here. He has an advantage that's obvious. Don't be an idiot) Dexter grinned and let the fire go away. He was happy Felix, had warned him of the impending danger. "Remember hair dye, me and you." He stated glaring at his new arch enemy.
The man fixed his glasses then he said... "Whatever... let's go on interrogation time..... To put it simple.... I don't wanna know about your adventures or whatever you faced.... What I want you all to tell me is all that you know about the man called Gerad" He then exhaled smoke again Nadeem then asked... "Gerad?... the hunter.... Why him?.... and where he is?" The man interrupted her... "We're giving an special treatment to him on his own private cell..... if that can be called a cell..... But is simple, Gerad is pretty much the only obstacle we have...."
