A large arrow smacked into the stone walls of the courtyard, scarecrow stood, breathing heavily as a great beast slumped lifelessly, a hole straight through its head, blood gushing out all over the ground. or what was left of it.
Scarecrow never let go of his katarna when he fired his bow, breeds of sickly dark thick blood dripped of the blade splashing on the exhausted warriors face, hundreds of corpse's littered the ground, but more demons continued to fall, continued to breach the walls
"i cant, i cant go on."
the screech of an approaching demon snapped him out of his trance, he quickly spun around with his katarna slicing through the demons torso.
Scarecrow saw the entry to the castle across the courtyard. he dashed for it, cutting down demons left and right, he dived through the arch way sliding in the stone floor on his back armour. quickly he returned to his feet, he ran through the halls of the castle, in seach of someone to fight with, somewhere to catch his breath, someone with infomation on what the hell was going on
Anyone Reply (and find scarecrow if ya want)

It was seemingly against his will that Blyclaaf ceased to fight and stood tall, towering over the demons. That shriek, that eery presence...Darkness had broken free. He turned to face the blue that seemed to be wreaking havoc upon the demons only to be thrown by a larger demon. Blyclaaf landed, rolling across the ground. His boots hit the wall and Blyclaaf kicked himself up, towards the demon who threw him. His sword stuck into the Demon, the red goo splashing across his face and through his hair. Kicking the demon off of the sword, Blyclaaf continued towards the light. "Only Steel can save us from Darkness" he said as he continued to slay the blackened enemy.

Azaroth Repeated The battle over and over in his mind, before the cry of battle snapped out of his trance. Azaroth looked around and saw Alana slowly rising, HE sprinted over toward her laying sekuri's limb body in front of her hoping she could do something. The Castle was crumbling Azaroth Dashed toward the castle in hope of finding survivors, He drew his Bardiche and Left few demons in one piece, eventually he was within meters from the castle when he saw someone run past the window above in the castle.
Azaroth didn't know who it was but he had to help, surprising himself he pushed of the ground with all his might and landing just below the window, reaching up with his hand he grasped the sill and climbed into the window, only to see a glimpse of the survivor once again. Azaroth Picked up his pace and sped round the corner only to be meet with a katana, immediately he knew who he thought he was trying to save.
I am no demon Scarecrow Azaroth spoke quickly and suddenly
Scarecrow lowered his katana, Azaroth quickly went into detail regaling what he knew so far of the events and of this wicked beast Yarha naga, after he finished the pair quickly headed for the nearest exit. Upon reaching the outside Scarecrow and Azaroth slayed many demon until they were away from the castle.

Back on the battleground that the castle had become Darkness stood over the dying form of Lance, his midnight boots surrounded by the blood of his fallen foe; he raised a massive clawed hand, and with it Lance was pulled up - He did not stand, it was as though an unseen force was holding him - His feet hung an inch from the ground, his arms were limp at his side and his blood continued to cascade from him.
You will not die here, fool... Though neither will you live another day of your miserable existence![/color]
The muscles in those evil fingers tightened as a dark mist seemed to throw itself around Lance - It wrapped around him, seeping into every space, probing and pushing its way around until it had completely enveloped the once proud warrior. And then it slowed down, it stopped swimming and seemed to harden, like a shell around the body... And that was the end of Lance Gideon; He had died here during this titanic struggle just seconds before the piercing blue blade screamed into Darkness, Steel was a moment beyond saving him, but now Darkness had to pay for his transgressions: The hammer of retribution fell swift and hard, catching the beast in his moment of victory...[/i]

In Azaroth and Scarecrows escape from the castle, they came across an Pain. He was on his knees, hair and eyes red as the deepest crimson. The two ran over to Pain's assistance.
"Can you stand?" Scarecrow asked as a monstrous roar was heard from nearby. Making the warriors a little shaken.
"Where are you going?"Pain scoulded at the two.
"We're getting away from the castle it's too dangerous"Yelled Azaroth
"No, turn back, they need our help"
"But. look at you your hurt!"
"Argh, im better of hurt like this. Let's go"
And it was with those words the three head back for the fight.

Gorge Stood from his gaze, just in time to see the blade of Darkness Pierce the chest of Lance. Afraid of what was to come Gorge leapt from where he stood. As he bounded upward he could sense something wasnt right. Spinning around in mid flight he saw but a glimse of what looked to be Yarah-nage. His sight was quickly blinded by a bolt of fire, Reclaiming his ground Gorge leapt into the air and took sight of his surroundings. The Young Warrior knew he couldnt take Yarah-Nage alone, But that wasnt about to stop him. Gorge perched himself against a semi-crumbled stone wall. As he peered up at Yarah-Nage he could here the screaches of his enemies as they poured into the castle.
Gorge waited for Yarah-Nage to lap around again. As he sat and waited to launch his attack he sources himself out what seemed to be a quick escape route.. Gorge took sight of Yarah-Nage and sent a burst of vine aimed for his throat. Gorge leapt a few feet to the left, to avoid being struck by anything Yarah-nage may throw back at him, as he leapt Gorge shot off several balls of fire and thorns in teh surrounding areas hoping to hit the evil do'er as he dodged.
Gorge leapt into the air and landed owith a thud. As he headed down the path he had planned out, he saw a rather large group of monster lookings abominations. Gorge took aim at one of the monsters directly infront of where he was headed and sent a huge flame belting out .. Teh monster colapsed to the floor landing on several other aboninations. Gorge let out a cry and slide onto his back. he had been struck from behind by shards of stone. The young mage tilted his head back, staring back at him were a rather larger pair of boots and a sword as wide as his head.. Gorge leapt to his feet using some time of ninja leg push. as he swung around he was excited to see a familiar face....

"Ahhh...if it isn't the little man." Blyclaaf said to himself as Gorge lowered his weapon at his sight. "I plead you stay out of Yarha-Nage's path until our leader has returned to our ranks. Seth is unfit to move, let alone fight."
His explanation of Seth's condition was cut short, as a horrid beast jumped from the castle wall and knocked the large man to the ground. Gorge, reacting quickly, pierced the beast's neck with his weapon, leaving the beast to disintergrate, the ashes blowing in the wind.
Moving to his feet, Blyclaaf dusted himself off and retrieved his sword from the ground. "I am heading for the battle with Darkness. The sooner one foe is disposed of, the sooner the other can be dealt with. You can follow, little friend, however I feel your services may be needed with the frog, Jym. The choice is yours, however." After a nod, Blyclaaf left Gorge to his own devices and continued towards the Demon King.

The battle raged all around, demons fell to the blades of the righteous and a bloody sky began to match the ground; Seth stirred a little, he was trying his best to pull together some more energy - He knew what to do, but it was going to be near impossible - A great rumbling shook the entire castle again, and Jym turned to his wounded friend, an expression of anguished terror was set upon the little frog's face as he spoke:
So... This is how it ends?
The little man took a deep, shuddering breath and looked around; Lance was dead, Seth was dying, the castle was crumbling, his friends were fighting a hopeless battle, even Steel seemed to be losing ground as the gigantic black monster that was Darkness hacked away at his defenses without mercy... And then...
N... No...[/color]
Jym almost leapt into the air from both his shock and his joy at the sound of Seth's voice, he turned to see the warlock on one knee, a hand in the bloody dirt to steady himself, the other clutched across his shoulder to cover at least one of his wounds.
It will not end... Not while I live... Not... uhnn...[/color]
Jym winced at Seth's pain, but the warlock went on; seeming to regain himself with each word...
Not... While YOU live... Not while a single fighter remains... Yarha-Nage will not... Will NOT defeat us...[/color]
He barked the final words with a strength that did not seem possible, and slowly Seth raised himself to his feet...
We cannot win this battle... But we can survive it... I... Can save us... At least for now... But I need your help Jym...[/color][/i]
Jym go on, or someone else continue and we'll skip back here soon

* Gorge Nodded Back and stood to decide what to do. Gorge Sprung himself a tree and grew it high above the rest. As he peered upward he could see shadows in the distant. It was the remains of the tower. He peered downward just in time to see the broad sword of Bly go slicing through several chests of the foreign creatures. Gorge may not have been as old or as wise as Seth or Jym or even Bly but one thing he was sure of was that he didnt want to lose what they had on there little pile of dirt in the ocean. He knew that the only way to save this humble little patch of dirt was to help Seth. As much as he hated to admit it he needed Seth, They all did.

Gorge bounded past more demons, racing toward Seth he left Bly to his own devices for now.
Jym... We have to prepare... I have to go to each corner...[/b]
Jym nodded solemnly, understanding what had to be done. The little frog tightened his grip on his blade and prepared to move...
Wait! I want to help!
A cloud of dust announced the arrival of Gorge; the tiny fighter...[/i]
Someone go on after the next post

Chaos was still the order of the day in and around the ruin that was the castle;
Near the gates Scarecrow, Azeroth and Pain were beginning to move back, knowing that somehow they all had to get back to Seth... But their plans were complicated by yet another challenge: The three stood for a moment, from behind the ruined gateway ahead of them came a sound like thunder, and moments later the crumbling stonework exploded out as a gigantic rusty blade hewed it apart, and forth stepped a skeletal giant...
Meanwhile, Steel and Darkness were still locked in mortal combat, but the brilliant figure wreathed in blue light was quickly losing ground; Darkness swung his immense blade to finish the battle, but was cut short by the broad, flat edge of Blyclaaf's claymore...
Finally, Alana had come to once more, she stood among the carnage, seemingly unnoticed by the horde of beasts all around, and then she saw the figure above her, flying around, cackling like a madman at the death he was wreaking upon her friends... And a great anger swelled insider her, clouding her judgment with rage; This was the kind of thing Seth always warned against, he always said it could lead to ones death... But she had had enough - Yarha-Nage was killing her friends, killing Seth and Jym, and all the others, he was ruining all that they had fought to build... And no more!
YARHA-NAGE![/color]
A gout of fire erupted from her hands, striking the insane sorcerer in the small of his back, unabashed he rounded on her with dark malice in his eyes...
The monster landed heavily before her, and rose up, towering above...
You have made a terrible mistake, girl...
He slowly drew his blade; midnight black it seemed to radiate a pure evil...
Seth's faithful little apprentice... Ha! Tell me, how does it feel to know he will die just like the rest of you?
Anger welled up once more...
You monster! You couldn't defeat us before, you won't now! I'll kill you myself!
Sharp, insane laughter pierced the air, the wizard was laughing at her challenge...
Fight me you coward! You killed my entire family! And you won't even give me a chance at revenge?!
I killed them?! That's what Seth has always told you?! Ha! Yes... I did destroy your village... But haven't you ever wondered WHY?! Hasn't he ever told you just what I was there for? I think you would feel very different if you knew... A pity that you have chosen to die here.
The evil wizard lunged forward, missing Alana by a hair, and the battle was on...[/i]
As you can see, a few things have happened, please feel free to continue from these.

Gorge stood tall and looked directly into Seth's pain stricken eyes. He turned to Jym and gave him a slight nod. The frog bowed his head back. There was a common feeling of safety for a split second. It was as if they were back to there first meeting, The only difference was that they weren't all about to die and this time Gorge wasn't thinking up several ways to cook the frog but instead he was thinking up ways to assist him.
[glow=green,2,300]"
Wait! I want to help! There isn't a chance in hell I'm giving up and theres no way I'm about to let either of you die.[/glow]
Gorge took a few shorts steps and placed his hands on Seth's and tilted his head to the sky. As he inhaled a breath of charded smelling air he thought to himself hard.
[glow=green,2,300]"This may not help but at least I can say I tried"[/glow]
[glow=green,2,300]"Altumis Prodje sami-alti flamingus tomarnus altius suprendo"[/glow]
With the last word leaving his mouth and his lungs de-capacitate of all air, The young mage fell on bended knee. A bolt of orange spark shot down from the heavens and broke the clouds. A crackling sound rebounded from anything upright. The platform where the 3 warriors stood; shone bright what looked to be orange and red vines now spiraled downward from the opening in the sky. The vines slowly trickled there way into the robe that Seth wore. He was looking straight into the eyes of Gorge now.
Gorge looked up and gave a smile.. Pain had stricken his whole body he needed for his spell to work, He needed some part of it to heal Seth. Gorge knew that he hadn't the power inside himself to heal Seth. He just hoped that with the help of his ancestors and the power he felt as he stood beside Seth that he had made a difference.
The mage stood to his feet and looked up at Seth..
[glow=green,2,300]"At least I can say I tried....[/glow]
The tiny warrior took a few steps back and gave Jym yet another nod but this time he was smiling. Using his Gnoree he lowed himself down and waited for what was to come...

At first it seemed that the spell had done nothing, but slowly... very slowly it seemed, Seth began to regain some strength... The blood stopped dripping from his shoulders, and he began to catch his breath, the vines started to wither, turning black and receding, their power had rastored a little of Seths, hopefully it would be enough...
Seth slowly got up, breathing heavily and using his little friends for support...
Thank you Gorge... I know we've fought in the past... But now if not the time for rivallry... we have to work together. Each corner of the castle needs to be marked with a rune... And then I can begin the spell, but we have to hurry, there's very little time left.
Seth had already started moving as the finished his explanation, Gorge and Jym tailed after him, and the three of them prepared to enter the battle once again...
Someone please go on, we'll continue Seth's journey after a little bit

Back near the gates Pain, Scarecrow and Azaroth took arms against the demonic skeletal beast that blast its way through a stone wall. The blade it was wielding was a very large and brownish in colour as it was clearly starting to rust, but still seemed to maintain its durability.
The demonic beast was blocking the warriors path forward. Wasting no time, Scarecrow started the assualt with a head on approach, the demon swung his blade powerfully forward but narrowly missed as Scarecrow only just evaded the attack and followed up with a series of slashes with his katana, breaking a several of its bones. Then unexpectingly, a gush of flames rose from beneath Scarecrow knocking him back towards the others. It became clear now this thing has a great power over fire.
It then proceeded to shout out loud in some form of demonic tongue "DARAGA MENTH ORKIGRIS"The meaning of those words eluded the three, but still it has been noted that Pain, Scarecrow and Azaroth must attempt a different approach.
Azaroth quickly launched a heavy swing of his hammer, but didn't aim for the beast but rather its weapon in an attempt to break it. The disarmament failed. Moments after that attack, the demon conjured up flames in its hand and just before a bellowe of flame engulfed Azaroth, Pain cast a Dark Blast upon the fire causing the flames to disperse split seconds from burning Azaroth. Pain cast another blast of darkness this time aimed at the demon, but the skeleton moved into a defensive stance with its blade and the emormous sword absorbed the blast. Meanwhile Scarecrow used this time to move behind the demon and he thrust his katana through its ribcage.
This provoked it to spin around and swing its heavy blade at Scarecrow, but the attack was again narrowly evaded but Scarecrow still fell to the ground. As the warrior fell, the beast felt a mighty blow to the back of its spine. It turned around to see Azaroth bashing its back with his war hammer. As it spun around again with a giant ball of fire in its left hand, Pain teleported right next to Azaroth and pushed Azaroth to the ground, out of the way of the coming attack.
Inevitably, Pain was engulfed in the flame. Azaroth and Scarecrow watched in horror as the inferno torched Pain's body. His hair glowed red so much, it was even more blinding the the fire summoned by the demon until the hair burned away into ash. Pain let out a final scream of agony that was heard throughout the entire battlefield as his skin started to deform and expose parts of his muscles. Peices of inner tissue began floating from Pains body and disintergrating into ash as finally his internal organs became exposed as they to, began roasting away into ash.
Smoke engulfed the area, blinding Scarecow's and Azaroth's view of the flame and the demon, just before the flame died down. The two remaining warriors expected to see an intensely charred corpse before the victorious demon when the smoke cleared, instead they were presented with a different scene. The demonic skeleton lay slain in a pile of bones while the remnants of Pains body were nowhere to be seen.
Also, a different creature seems to have appeared, as if from nowhere, it was standing atop the pile of bones. It had frayed bat like wings, spikey dark hair and its frame was humanoid in appearance. Azaroth and Scarecrow Quickly got up and stood to fight, but the creature didn't appear like it was interested in a fight, it just roared loudly holding its head. It fell to its knees letting out demonic roars as if it was literally going crazy. Finally, it spread its wings and lept up extremely high, jumping over a stone wall. After that, all that could be seen from where Azaroth and Scarecrow were standing were a lot of explosions from beyond the wall, all the while the same demonic roar can be heard. The noise faded out with distance as the two warriors continued to race towards Seth and the others.

It had begun....
The second encounter between Darkness and Blyclaaf...
The King of Demon's sword, knocked from its collision course with Steel's helmet.
Darkness turned and threw Blyclaaf across the battleground with his large fists, by which time Steel had managed to return to his feet and continue on the collosal fight.
Blyclaaf landed heavy and took a moment to return to his feet. Running back towards the beast, Blyclaaf jumped and swung his sword down over Darkness' head. The sword connected, yet had no effect, bouncing off as if hitting a shield. And so the fight continued. Defend, parry, attack...defend, parry, attack.
