Tsubasa Chronicle ~ Another Journey ~

All this time and all he found was a top? Aloud he said, "Well I have a general direction of my target. We will have to wait for Gerrik to return before we rule anything out. I've had to track targets before so I may be able to find him on scant information only." Kane was good at emotionless killing. If you didn't act as if the one you were hunting was a person it was that much easier. Kane doubted Dune could do it.

 

>Denki I am skipping you until you get back.<

"That would sound like Darmeth. He was always big on choosing his confrontations. We won't be able to attack him until he wants us to. That's a big disadvantage to our selves since he will always be able to choose the ground we meet him on. However he may not be aware that you guys are with me so we might be able to take him off guard. Maybe." Kane looked around at the other patrons as he said this, senses alert for anyone suspicious.

 

"So in other words you make yourselves look pathetically weak so he won't view you as a threat. Then when he comes at you guys I take him out and if I lose you have a good chance of beating him." This one is pretty smart. I don't know about Dune but Gerrik has some tactical finesse. "Well I guess that's the plan then. A good one to, I'll drink to it." Kane raised his drink then knocked it back.

 

"My acting skills leave something to be desired. Besides Aura users can read intent, and unless we are discharging some killing intent he won't buy the ruse. Fighting some local idiots would be the best option in that sense because we wouldn't be held back by any feelings of comradery against the ones we are fighting." He smiled to himself. "And I know just the place we can find some fresh meat to. That is, if you all agree with the plan."

 

>Ok someone found a way to kill my rp. Now we need to discuss how to continue.<

 

>YAY IT LIVES. Maybe next world Des. I plan on throwing darmeth out here, or at least make him vanish till way later. Kane will get his gf back but they wont get home for quite some time.<

What will I do? Kane asked himself, aware of everyone's eyes on him. Will I actually kill in cold blood just to flush this creep out? He toyed with the idea in his mind, but threw it out eventually. "I won't kill until I have to. The next person to die by my blade will be Darmeth himself." And our fight will at least attract him to us. He stood up saying, "Let's go to it. I got a good idea on were to start."

With that he walked back outside into the rain, not really caring if no one followed him. It was a good day for someone to die most certainly. The rain would keep blades from getting to bloody, and it would also increase Darmeths abilities. Regardless Kane was going to kill him, even if it took his own life to finish the job off. He began running back towards the inner rings, jumping onto roof tops in order to go over the gates. Darmeth, I'm coming for you.

Meanwhile Darmeth was preparing himself for combat, stretching his limbs to make them more limber. "Your beloved is coming to his death, and all for you. Tell me does that not make your heart swell with joy for his devotion to you?"

Kana, who had several cuts and bruises on her body as a testament to her recapture, just stared at him with hate in her eyes. Her tattered clothing swayed slightly in the breeze as Darmeth opened the door and took a step outside the warehouse. "Beautiful. The rain fills me with inner power. I think you will enjoy this fight Kana, for once Kane is dead you will be mine forever."

"I won't ever love you."

Darmeth's cheerful looked was suddenly replaced by a look of contempt. He warp stepped over to her side and punched her in the side of her head. "Remember this you will be mine regardless. If you can't keep a kind tongue in your head I will rip it out. Now be silent and come watch your beloved Kane die." With that he took off her chains, then dragged her out the door.

 

Kane didn't get much farther than the 7th ring when he suddenly felt a crushing amount of energy. Without thinking he jumped extra high to evade a blast of water energy. "What the hell?" When he landed he looked over to an adjacent roof. There stood Darmeth with his sword out, smiling. The weapon looked like a rapier with thorns decorating the hilt. "Darmeth!"

"What did you actually think I didn't consider your little plan to lure me out? That would only be necessary if I didn't feel like fighting you. I really do actually want to fight you so you should be thankful I've shown up."

Kane shook his head, then assumed his stance. Holding out his right hand he said, "Dance Rai!" a small whirl wind extended from his open hand and his sword appeared. Kane didn't hesitate, but charged right in jumping the gap over to Darmeth and unleashing a series of power strikes to knock him off guard. Darmeth blocked all of them flawlessly.

"Come on Kane I know you can do better. Fight me like you did in that alley way. I know, maybe you just need a little motivation." He jumps back, then back flips even further then cuts a tarp down that was erected around the houses chimney. Inside is Kana tied to the roof with a gag in her mouth. Darmeth draws his sword slowly across her shoulder, then cuts a strap holding her shirt up. "Pretty isn't she?"

Kane bellows with rage and lunges forward into another series of high speed power blows actually forcing Darmeth back. "THAT'S MORE LIKE IT!" Darmeth cackles as he lunges into his own attack pattern driving Kane back step by step. A constant ringing rises from their swords as they attack and defend faster than most people could even see. Each weapon is a complete blur as each man tries to get an advantage over the other. Finally they seperate.

"Burst forth and consume, Shin Rio!"

"Dance on silent wings, Rai Den!"

Both swords exploded with energy as they transformed into their released forms. Kane held his daggers pointed out away from his body, and Darmeth held his newly formed long epi pointed out at Kane. With a bellow the two of them rushed forward to clash their weapons together.

>Putting a pause in my fight so your characters can have some input.<

 

>Skipping Dune cause it's been two days.<

Tossing one knife to his other hand, he assumes a stance with one blade behind his back and his dominant one in front of him. "Looks like i don't have to worry."

"Oh? And Why is that?"

"Because Gerik managed to free Kana."

Darmeth started, then turned around to see Gerik taking off with Kana. "THAT BASTARD! TAKING MY PROPERTY!"

Darmeth start to go after him but kane suddenly blocks his path. "We aren't done yet."

"Fine then you will die, then that man will die, then I will retake Kana for my own."

Kane and Darmeth start fighting again, Kane becoming a whirl wind of movement while Darmeth dodges and blocks his attacks. Both are hard pressed to get an advantage over the other. Kane realizes this first and unleashes a air disc at his opponent, which catches Darmeth off guard. He recieves a large cut on his left arm, and jumps back clutching it. "Screw this. Now, I will show you the difference in our powers! Final Release!"

Instantly a wave of energy surrounds Darmeth, and his weapon begins to glow. It thickens into a rod like shape that also seems to bend. When the energy disipatates he is holding a rose vine covered in thorns. The vine is actualy a chain blade, but moves more like a whip. "Shin Rio Dikeno." Darmeth smiles widely. "Now do you see the difference? I have achieved the final release. I doubt you could have done so."

"That's were your wrong Darmeth." Darmeth looks surprised at Kane's icily calm tone. "That's how it is with people like you. So conceited and self cenetered. Thinking you are some kind of god who can use his powers any way he wants." Kane shifts his blades into his right hand holding them together. "So pathetically self centered it makes me sick. You want a god? Let me show you the next best thing. Final Release." The wind around Kane whips around into a Tornado, crushing the house beneath them. Thankfully no one is in it, but Darmeth has to jump off in order to avoid certain destruction.

"What the?"

The tornado suddenly bursts apart to reveal Kane holding a white Katana about as long as his arm. The blade is snow white and pure up to the hilt. The hilt is wrapped in black cloth that ends in a short ribbon fluttering in the breeze. "Shinkirou Odorite Rai Den."

"What is that thing your holding!?"

"I told you. This is my final release. Bow before a true god, Darmeth." Suddenly Kane vanishes only to appear on either side of Darmeth.

Darmeth whirls around bringing his blade around in a circle to drive the clones away, but Kane only changes position now appearing as three. "What's the matter?" the clones say at the same time. "I thought you were going to kill me? Could it be that you can't keep up? A pity." Suddenly Kane is right in front of Darmeth, running through a series of impossibly fast strikes. Darmeth leaps away, sending his whip crashing down on Kane's head but Kane isn't there when the weapon comes down.

Now Kane has split into seven attacking figures, each vanishing after each strike until the last one slams his weapon into Darmeths open side, and sending him flying back into the ground. Kane holds his sword over his head, summoning his energy to create a arc of wind in the weapon. With a roar he brings it down sending a blade of pure wind down at his opponent. Darmeth dodges aside narrowly, and begins whipping his weapon through the air to encase Kane.

Kane jumps out of the arc, and lands down next to Darmeth who is now desperately trying to get his weapon back. "To late for you." Kane seperates into thirteen forms, his maximum, and each slices into Darmeth. Darmeth gasps, and drops his weapon as he falls to his knees. "No. How could this happen? I was promised the powers of a god!"

"You are no god Darmeth, nor am I. We are simply gifted humans. The only difference is that you decided to abuse your gift. What a pity." Kane drops his sword down to Darmeths neck.

"Please, have mercy! I will change! I promise!"

"Darmeth, the only mercy you are being granted is a swift death. Good bye." Darmeth's head falls before he can utter a scream. "That is the beauty of Rai Den. A weapon that drives from the shadows and strikes with the speed of the wind killing all it attacks silently." Kane turns and walks away as Darmeths body and sword begin to fade away. "Such a merciful end to such a disgusting being. You will not be remembered." Kane's sword returns to normal, then vanishes.
