(CLOSED)Relic hunting, eh?

[Trucido Damnedblood]

Trucido was sitting on a stump that he cut down and let part of his energy loose the keep the public away from them. He then felt some people running into the area. He smiled and said "Night, I have a gift for you. The heroes are here, so you can go fight them."

[Quaytvol]

"Finally!" He said as he pull out his blade. He started to run into the direction of the Heroes
"I hope they won't die on me as fast." he said to himself.

[Miri, EarthGuard]

Miri was hit with the presence of evil as soon as she stepped near the river, She looked around, tying to tell where the darkness had come from. She noticed that several of her companions looked uneasy, and realized they could feel what she could.

Just who and what are they? Even the ones from Earth notice it...

[Kouichi - Yami No Kuro Raion]

"Hey, Lana," Kouichi replied, smiling. Kouji just hung back, watching them.

What does he see in her that I can't? he wondered to himself, observing his older twin beaming at the ex-Captain. She was a Sumata, a villain. She serves darkness of all the elements. She even betrayed her...

Suddenly, as he listed it all out in his thoughts, he stopped cold. Memories of five years ago rushed into his mind.

{Flashback}

"Who are you? Why does your name mean so much to me?"

The black-armored form of Dusk shouted at him as the red sword swung down. He raised his own just in time to block the swing, the Dark Warrior's strike jarring through him as he did so.

"You're human!" he replied. "Just like me! I don't know who you are, but you look exactly like me... please, tell me who you are!"

He struck back, blocked, struck back.

"I am darkness itself! I need no memories, no emotions... you are a weakness! Die, Kouji!"

That day was still clear in his mind. Could it be that Kouichi saw something of himself in Lana?

[Alex of Santo-Luce]

Meanwhile, far away, Alex looked up as he felt darkness on the edge of his mind - not the kind of darkness Trucido carried with him, or Elexa, but something different, indeed. It was almost familiar, and yet so strange he knew he'd never felt it before in his life.

"You feel that, Milord?" he asked Alexander, suddenly straightening up like a hunting dog who'd just caught a scent.

[Yeligar Maelstrom]

Yeligar looked at the heroes. He felt the pressure too, but he was used to situations like this.
"Come on, He is trying to slow us down, but we have to keep going!"

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

Volkmar kept running, but the reason was because he could not feel the strand on his body, like hte others did.
What is going on? He thought

[Mark Angelus Fri]

*Mark stayed silent tracing the power waves to their source, then he felt something else, this power was different from Trucido's it was powerful... but that's the thing it was all power, no magic in it as far as he could trace that is.*

A Sumata... a Sumata that can't control his or hers power...

Mark:... They're coming... *Mark said his blades appearing in his hands, he watched closely waiting to site their enemy.*

[Seigmand Dezmar]

Seigmand bolted up upon hearing Trucido's order. He had been concentrating on the area around them in case anyone would chance upon their location. He had felt the faintest of sensations from far away, but it was drawing nearer and the fact that he sensed it at all meant there was a good number of them.

"M'lord, I'd advise against this. Night, wait!" He shouted out at the direction that Night had bolted off. Yet he knew it was in vain to try to reason with the battle euphoric warrior. "Sir, if it is indeed the Heroes that are coming we should make haste away from here. They are in great numbers, and bloodshed at this point is unnecessary. Making Night go up against that many will surely leave him dead. Do you not agree?" Seigmand looked gravely concerned.

No, this is the worst possible case. If all of us meet at once then all that will happen is most of us will die and Trucido will make off with the relic with less opposing him. I need more time, and a better situation then this.

[Quaytvol]

"They? Only one is require to defeat all of you!" Night said as he walked out of the woods, pulling out his sword. "So, are all of you going to strike me at once, or will I kill all of you, one by one?"

[Mark Angelus Fri]

*Mark stepped in front of the group holding his blade out he wasn't about to make a move unless ordered by Yeligar.*

Mark:... Yeligar... orders? *He said not taking his eyes off the Sumata.*

With no magic I can assume he can't increase his speed for a short time like some of us can... so no worries about being surprised with magic... not that it matters with these limiters on us.

[Trucido Damnedblood]

"Seigmend, Night is strongest with the blade. and since he has never used a spell, he will not be crippled by the magic restriction here. Hopefully, Lilith will wake up soon. Then I can pull us out of here, then quickly return to get Night, leaving the heroes here, and lost. If Night is truly in trouble, then I will get him." Trucido said " And to make sure the heroes don't try to sneak up on us, I will increase the energy." He focus a bit harder, "It is hard to not crush all of you..." He muttered to himself.

[Yeligar Maelstrom]

"Mark, Andy, take him on. The rest of us will find the other Sumata." He said then he felt the energy increasing. "Damn... This is going to be hard." He had a hard time running. So he starts to walking slowly.

[Miri, EarthGuard]

Miri felt Trucido's dark energy increase and grimaced. "Great... he's here."

[Andy Jammer]

"Gladly!" Andy drew his massive sword and faced Night, his senses flaring and ready for a fight. "So, tell me something. You got a name?"
