... I wont comment on anything said, but you guys are getting the picture. ;D Anyways, new chapter, sorry for the hiatus. Chapter 11: Four Shadows One day before the Diamond Town Purge Lord Fate was standing in a throne room with a dark and haunting vibe shadowing the entire room. The candle lit walls and chandlers were dimmed as the structure of the room looked like stone with hundreds of carvings, forming designs and symbols of many kind. The fires giving light were also a gold and blue color as they danced above the candle sticks and not on them. Clearly this room was covered, bathed, and bleeding out some form of magic. He was facing a glass stained window that he could see out of but no one could see into. It overlooked the courtyard and the rest of the large city-like town before them. A knocking came from the door, and soon a guard spoke up as the door opened. "My Lord, Blaire is here to see you." Before the guard could finish his sentence she was halfway down the room, eyes fixed and enraged as the lights brightened the closer she got to him. Finally the entire room was glowing as the lights revealed the walls to be gold and silver with hints of light blues and dark greens, mainly the symbols and carvings. "I will NOT have another town purged! Diamond Town is one of the safest towns and the most respected one of this colony! We CAN NOT continue to slaughter and treat our people like-" "They are not my people." He interrupted her calmly, raising his voice a little to beat down her shouting. She paused in her frustration, knowing his words were true. "My people haven't risen yet. Although I'm merely a copy of the one you call Fate, my blood is his blood, and his blood belongs to the Fated Kingdom." His words started to frighten her. She knew this day would come, when their creation would turn its back on them and seek to continue this endless cycle. Her heart started to race more as she felt her life was now in danger. She mentally prepared herself for battle as silence settled in. "I have no attachment to these people, so if I see that more of your people need to die in order to complete our mission, then I'll gladly take as many lives as needed... Unless you have a better way of stopping this kingdom from rising again." She calmed down a bit, still cautious of course but a bit more at ease that he still seems to be fixed on completing their mission. "How many more must die, Fate? How many more must suffer?" "We'll wipe out the entire world if need be. If that is what it takes to kill the Source, then it'll be done." She paused for a moment as she looked at the ground. She didn't agree with this. She tried telling herself this was the right thing to do, that this insane plan would work and she'll save more lives than she ruined and stole. "Are we done here?" He asked her, to which all she could do was think for a few more seconds, then slowly nod her head. He didn't need to see her to know she agreed, seeing as his back was still facing her. "Send the String Mage to purge Diamond Town." "Ajkunai? He'll never agree to this. He wont slaughter innocent lives because I simply commanded him to." "The Royals are planning an attack on Diamond Town. He'll have plenty of evil monsters to slay. He'll then realize that the only way to stop the infection from spreading is to kill them all." Blaire's eyes widen with pure fear as she heard his words. She nearly shouted at the stop of her lungs when she spoke again. "We have to stop them! If you know there're attacking the town then why aren't we doing anything about it! We can't let Diamond Town become another massacre! We have to-" "All YOU have to do is follow my damn instructions!" Fate boomed as the brightness of the room shrunk into darkness as he spun around and glared upon her. She felt a cold chill sweep the room as her heart skipped a beat. Once a few seconds of silenced passed Fate slowly turned his back to her which brightened the room again little by little. "Order and execute the Purge... Now leave, I have a Royal Master to hunt." Even though she heard his words she refused to leave. She remained standing where she was until she partly turned around but paused to speak. "The Royals... They're hunting for the Source as well I take it. It seems like they have the same notion as us. They believe its somewhere in Diamond Town. I find that odd... I wonder how they know exactly how much we know." With that said she rested her distrusting eyes upon Fate for a moment before turning around completely and heading out. The door closed and the lights dimmed once more. A pair of yellow glowing eyes peered behind Fate as he spoke. "Make sure Aurorae survives the Purge." Upon hearing his command the haunting eyes blinked once to confirm his task, then vanished in the darkness while Fate continued to stare out the window... Present Time Lord Fate stood in the same room Tactic stood in several years ago when he addressed his plan to Rabid, Konos, and Ludi. Within one of the large containment tubes was Red, wearing a black and silver color motorcycle suite with green trimming and liquid-like designs coursing through it. His hair was a bit longer and spiked upward and forward. Fate's Dark-Heart was staring at Red, watching his body be consumed by this black substance that was forming the suit he was wearing. It was slowly creating a helmet over his face and head, the visor looking like a large mirror that reached towards the back of the spiked-back helmet. Soon the helmet was complete. Red's body shook a few times, and then suddenly the glass shattered as a small EMP was released form his body. All electronics stopped and shorted out as the newly formed Red dropped to his hands and knees. He rested there in a crouched position for a moment, then slowly rose to his feet and looked at the all white being's evil smile. "So... What do we call ya, Mirror Face?" He comments, to which Red computed a response as the liquids coursing through his suit changed colors as if he was thinking. "No Data." A female voice interrupted. They looked towards the ceiling to find Virus standing there with her arms crossed. "A mother has a right to name her offspring, so No Data is what he'll be called." She adds, and suddenly appeared next to enemy faster than anyone could blink. "Teh... I'd ask why but, not like I care." He tells her, to which she cleared her throat to explain anyways. "His mind is blank, his purpose is gone, all motives, desires, feelings, knowledge, experience, names, faces, people, places, all information and data is completely wiped out. He has no data available to access expect whatever he takes in now, and whatever I feed into him." The Dark-Heart raised his eye brow a bit at her explanation. He shrugged and shook his head, as if reminding her he didn't care. "Whatever... Tell Mirror Face to complete his first task so we can collect the fourth member of this little prophecy squad of yours." With that said Virus simply nods her head then looked at Lord Fate. A few seconds later No Data also fixed his eyes on the man. He slowly lifted his hand up and digitally formed one of the Eclipse Blades, however, this blade had different markings on it and was a shade of red. Within seconds the robotic black figure appeared behind Fate and plunged the sword within his back. He screamed in pain as it burst out of his chest and started to spread a black smoky substance that began to transform Fate into another being. It wasn't long before Fate became an evil looking knight with bright red eyes glowing through his helmet. His long hair became silver as armor pieces covered his entire body. He stopped his screaming as his voice changed to a deeper and muffled one due to his helmet covering his entire head. He spun around and swung a mighty punch towards Data as he pulled out the sword with his other hand. Data caught the punch, not with his hands however, but with a digital hive-shaped transparent wall that quickly appeared in front of him to block the attack. Seeing his attacked was blocked the Dark Knight roared in anger, which launched Data backwards and caused the barrier to explode into digital particles. "Ha! I like this guy." The Dark-Heart comments as he crossed his arms. He sidestepped to avoid Data's moving path as he approached the evil knight. "Dark Lord is my name before you ask. Created me you have, but for what purpose or task?" The knight spoke, to which The Dark-Heart smiled evilly as he stopped in front of him. "Follow me and find out, my poetic friend." "Well now, everyone seems to have a decent name that fits this legend of the Four Shadows, everyone expect you... So, what do we call you?" Virus asked, to which the all white being looked over his shoulder and deepened his wicked smile. "Enemy... Just call me Enemy." Camp Site, night fall, several miles from Hex's crashed ship A dragon with red hide and gargoyle-like wings roars to intimidate Ludi. Aaron's last strum of his guitar still sung through the night sky as he focused his attention on the dragon he just summoned. Ludi was unimpressed of course, noting that he just summoned a beast twenty times bigger than this unholy looking reptile of a beast. "Stand down, Ludi-" "Ajkunai-1991... I bit Diamond Town was a big boost for you on reaching your goal to become a full fledged String Mage." Ajkunai was a bit taken back by this. However, his shocked expression dimmed as he thought about it more. Ludi is also a Mage, of course he'd know about his String Mage goal point. One thousand nine hundred and ninety one enemies Ajkunai must defeat in order to fully become a String Mage. Not everyone is aware of this, and Ajkunai tends to not toss it around much. Regardless, Ludi was seeking vengeance, and it seemed like Ajkunai wouldn't be able to talk his way out of this fight. "I wasn't just following orders, Ludi. Those people were infected, corrupted and tainted by an evil-" "An evil what!" The mage cut him of. His anger was oozing out, despite the fact that you couldn't see Ludi's emotions. His body language, however, was a dead give away. "You and your damn Empire created this 'evil.' You're all blind or extremely stupid to not know that the Royals are the Imperials, and they're the damn Guardians as well!" Ludi's hands started to glow. Soon, two orbs started to form something within them, but it was hard to tell what it was. "I can explain if you just-" "You slaughtered innocent lives! You tortured and tormented people who did NOTHING wrong! How can you even think that any explanation would sooth the hundreds of suffering voices echoing through time. You, the Royals, the Guardians, the Empire, all of you will burn in hell. And if I have to summon hell fire and demons to make you scream until your vocal cords bleed while you weep and wail until blood floods out of your eyes, best believe I'll rip off your flesh and watch your soul flail in agony... I'm hoping you even have one so I break it." Ajkunai could see the rage gushing from this mysterious mage. It didn't take the human long to put the pieces together. Ludi must of been one of the survivors of Purge he carried out. To this mage, Ajkunai must look like a monster. "I know you wont accept it, but my apologizes still goes out to you. I'm not a monster, Ludi." "No... You're just a mindless puppet. I can break puppets, and use your remains as toothpicks." It was at this moment that the two orbs in Ludi's hands finally took shape and presented two double bladed swords that were pure silver. They shimmered as the moonlight hit them, giving them a glowing effect. Ajkunai sighs as he knew there was no point in talking the mage down. He gripped his guitar firmly and positioned his other hand near the strings. "Once again, I'm sorry for what I've done... But I can't let you stop us from completing our goal." He strummed a few cords and suddenly the gothic dragon roared and lunged forward. Ludi burst forward in a full sprint towards the beast. Suddenly he split into two as the dragon dove to attack him. He parted himself in half like a water droplet breaking apart. The dragon skids to a halt as it whirled around. It roared and charged behind Ludi as the magi created two more water-based copies. Ajkunai tried to figure out which of the four water clones was not a fake as he took two steps back and prepared to play another riff. He jumps back a bit further as he plays a hardcore metal jam. His hands move rapidly to summon a thunderstorm to hover above him and Ludi as the magi closes the gap between them. Pillars of lighting burst forward from the cloud and strikes nearly everything within their paths. Trees explode as rocks and dirt kick up every time a lighting strike touches down. He sacrificed his dragon-like beast as it too was struck and moaned loudly in pain before bursting into musical-energy particles. Finally the four copies of Ludi were struck with an overwhelming force. However, instead of destroying the copies it only strengthened them, turning them into electrified water copies that were rushing towards the String Magi. It then came to Ajkunai's mind what Ludi was planning. These copies are like suicide bombers, only now instead of just exploding with water-element force, they'll be dishing out a powerful electric surge as well. Ajkunai slid his feet back and prepared himself to run forward instead of leaping back. He was changing his game plan up and decided to go on the offense as he twirled his guitar a few times before grabbing it like a hammer and charging it up. He rushed forward and steadied his hand as the four copies zoned in and suddenly leaped. With a powerful swing of his instrument, Ajkunai lashed out his Leviathan swing attack, sending a blazing force of fire as the attack collided with three of the copies. They were all knocked away and explode in muffled booms. The fourth one slipped through as the String Mage managed to miss it. It collides with Ajkunai and explodes with great force, sending a surge of lighting through his body while flinging him back several feet. His back smacked into a large rock as his guitar slid across the ground next to him. He dropped to his knees and caught himself before he completely hit the ground. He pants a bit from the pain, wincing slightly as he tried to regain himself. Suddenly Ludi's foot shoves Ajkunai onto his rear. The magi looked menacing as the human looked up at him. The String Mage wasn't about to give up just yet. He motioned to reach for his guitar when suddenly black clouds loomed overhead. A loud thunderous boom that shook the entire area caught both mage's attention. Ajkunai quickly grabbed his guitar and leaped to his feet, joining Ludi as the mage glared with hate at a figure several feet above them. "I'll teach you a lesson or two later, Ludi. Right now, we got a bigger problem." Ajkunai comments, to which Ludi slightly shook his head as he spoke. "That thing in the sky is his Dark-Heart, also called Threat according to the Four Shadows legend. Our biggest problem is what Konos plans on doing with such a high powered dark creature. Worse yet, can he even control it..." Ludi and Ajkunai continued to watch as the Dark-Heart know as Threat descended and touched down next to Konos. Faith and Cross were at their side as everyone seemed to wait and watch for something to happen. Suddenly thunderous booms echo through the sky as flashes of lighting struck the ground. Enemy, Virus, Dark Lord, and Data appeared along side Threat and Konos. From the way it looked, there was about to be a fight between those standing with Virus, and everyone else not standing along side her. Enemy's eyes fixed on TC who let his guard and started to approach the Four Shadows, very slowly and with great caution. The white being also took stead strides to meet up with the fox, then paused as the two of them stood before each other. A moment of silent chilled the air, until the white being spoke. "So... Who wants 'story time' from a shinigami who hides on a ship? Or better yet," His eyes looked pass TC and fixed on Rabid as he continued to speak. "How about a little light reading from some letters from a dead guy?" Rabid didn't reply, nor did he give into this being's taunts. He simply remained silent as he gently patted his coat pocket where he placed the letters in. "Forget the latter, we need to pirate." Virus interjects. "We still need to summon the Red Wolf King... And I believe that pirate knows how to do so." With that said, Enemy slowly nods as he smiled evilly. "Remember now, just cause we're sharing the same air, doesn't make any of us friends. I suggest everyone keeps that in mind." The being's comment only reminded everyone who their enemies were, and why none of them could be trusted. Yet oddly enough, they all want the same thing, they all need the same thing, and they all will have the same fate if they don't do something to change it. With distrusting hearts and bodies ready to spring at the person next them, they each slowly and calmly followed Enemy and TC back towards Captain Hex's ship. The only person not with them was Otogi, which no one seemed to recall her presence ever being there. The only person to take note of this was Data, who was the last to leave the camp site as he stared upon the last spot Otogi was, as if he retraced her stepped by examining the battlefield, knowing who was where, and who was fighting who. The entire scene was display in his helmet like holograms moving around his visor. He finally reached the moment where Otogi was removed from the battle-site. He looked towards the leaving group, then looked back at the hologram within his visor of Otogi and another figure attacking. He turned back to the group and started to follow, speaking his final thoughts with a slightly robotic tone. "Data collected... Resuming mission... Awaken the Fated Dragon..."
