A Sorta Fairytale (Plot Thread 3.3)

[Vash, the Angel's Moon]

"No problem!" he called back, before running up towards the Shade and swinging the cross.

[Kurai Horo]

Kurai nodded as Vash launched into action and double-checked his seal before walking forwards toward Volkmar and spreading his arms out wide, trying to gain the beserkers complete attention "Hey! Beserker!" he yelled continuing forwards, with his seal in hand "I've got a present for ya'!" he tightened his grip on the piece of paper and took a defensive stance "Come and get it..."

[Volkmar Gamlxltoe]

Volkmar looked over at the annoying soldier, and he shouted, " YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SAVE YOUR KING!" He ran over towards him, while his blade covered by his violent aura. The Snow was being blown away from his path.
Sayara stared from the barrier, and started to panic. "Something isn't right with Volky..." she said to herself.

[Juno Runè]

Juno had finally finished the counter-spell, she placed her hands on her seal and the magic broke apart instantly. However something else happened that she didn't count on...the magical presence of multiple people was soon felt, people were headed their way.

[Everto Ferox: the Shade]

The Shade burst out with laughter.


"Thank you SO much my dear you have been VERY helpful!" he laughed, leaping from the attacks over to the high point in the Glacier as Amadues, Cyrus -pretending to have just arrived-, Aku -restrained by a form of magic-, and a woman they have never seen before.

[Aku]

Cyrus had restrained Aku, a magic that wrapped his arms around him tightly, just to make sure he wouldn't attack Eli again.

"Cyyyrrruuussss," Aku whined, "I can't walk like this, and my back is itchy and I can't ITCH IT!"

Aku slipped and fell at the feet of Cyrus, "This isn't fair! I said I'm sorry already, why won't you forgive me!?"

[Amadeus DiZagin]

"Shut up AKU!" Amadeus said to Aku whining. "There are more important things afoot, Aku." He just looked at Juno as she was surrounded by those savagery people. "What is going on there?" He asked Cyrus.

[Vash, the Angel's Moon]

As the Shade leaped away, and he felt Volk's rage awaken to boiling, Vash closed his eyes and took a long, deep breath. "Sayara," he muttered. "You're going to have to do something about that Knight." Then he turned towards the newly-arrived Ketulunans, ready for battle.

[Kouichi - Yami No Kuro Raion]

As the spell dropped, Kouichi stepped forward, ready to rush out and join the fight, when Kouji's hand pulled im back. That's when he saw the strange figures approaching.

He balled his fists. "Who are you?" he shouted. "And what do you want?"

[Aku]

"I'm being yelled at, I CAN'T HANDLE THAT!" He yelled, flopping around on the cold ground like a fish, finally calming down for a moment while he scanned the crowd, seeing Juno, Eli... and another Eli!?

"Ah! There are two Eli's! I want to kill them both!" He whined, "But which one do I want to kill more!? I CAN'T DECIDE, I CAN'T HANDLE MAKING THE DECISION!!!!"

Aku didn't seem like normal self (if you call that normal), in fact, he seemed more out of it, dazed, and somehow different than before.

[King Roxa Hiaten]

A dark chuckling burst from the inside of the cavern before Roxa's two swords were thrown out of the darkness and landed on the ground with a clatter "Oh kids..." a voice called from the cave as Ave stepped into view, all of the leather armor covered in tribal shapes with his head hung low. He waited for a moment before looking up. His eyes were a yellow shade with slitted feline pupils "Daddy's home..." he growled as he lifted his arms and suddenly there was a drastic change in the air pressure around him.

The two swords that lay on the ground were jerked upwards as if by invisible hands and hovered behind Ave. His now free hands glowed in a dull grey shade that was obviously some sort of magic. Looking across at the binded Aku, he grinned "It's like Christmas, you're all trussed and tied for me like a lamb to the slaughter" he looked across at The Shade, completely ignoring Aku's companions as well as the Heroes and Lunar Knights "But you can come later, I have unfinished business with him" he hissed

[Aku]

"Ahhhh! I think the other Eli wants to eat me! WELL I WANT TO EAT HIM!" Aku yelled, trying to break out of the magic, "But for some reason I want to fight THAT Eli more!" He motioned towards the actual Eli, "Please let me free, I promise I'll be good and only almost kill them!"

[Kouichi - Yami No Kuro Raion]

Kouichi shuddered; the power of Darkness was strong here, and most of it wasn't the controlled, purified version that he used.

THe corruption of evil filled the air.

[King Roxa Hiaten]

Ave shrugged at Aku "You're quite the animal aren't you?" he said with a shake of his head as he continued walking past the heroes towards The Shade's new little peak "Excuse me" he said casually as if interacting with an old friend "I just came to give you a little hint here..." his eyes suddenly gave a flash of insanity "I like to rip the arms off people who hide their entire faces behind a mask!" he pointed a magic coated hand at The Shade "So why don't you get down here, hold your arms out wide, so I can rip 'em off?!" he roared as magic suddenly burst from his hand, it was black in it's nature, but would deal a burning light magic effect on contact.

Inside of Ave's mind, a figure that looked near identical was chained up by dark spiked chains. Roxa was utterly defeated in body and mind yet his spirit remained here, bound away by his inner demons. The chains covered his entire lower body and he was naked from the waist-up, completely humiliated by Ave, as his evil self launched the magic beam at The Shade, Roxa roared in pain as Ave stole more of his energy to power the spell from the deep reservoir of magic that Roxa had always had sealed away deep within him, he could feel his anger welling up.

[Kurai Horo]

Whilst Eli's identical copy attacked the Shade, albeit it didn't look like Roxa doing it considering his drastic new appearance and attitude, Kurai prepared himself for Volk's attack. As his fellow Lunar Knight charged towards him, Kurai simply held the piece of paper a bit higher then let go of it so it fluttered in place in the wind temporarily whilst he jumped to the side, away from Volk's attack.

Just like he hoped, the piece of paper stuck to the beserkers forehead.
