Return of the Demon Lord

[The Melee Master]

"I was afraid of this," Kouga said. He ran toward the demon lord, claws ready to slash him.

Black metal coating made their way down Ghirahim's arms, and he threw one arm at Kouga, knocking him back. After rolling across the ground, he spat out a bit of blood from his mouth, and watched as the demon lord changed his appearance completely, but the wound in his chest was still apparent, though everyone could see a diamond shape on the edges of the wound, meaning that it was regenerating and attempting to heal over.



"Despite my liberation from the blade, I can still use this form as body armor," his voice sounding slightly hollow as he covered the wound with his arms. He jumped back quickly, proving that, despite metal covering his body, his speed hasn't change a bit.

"D@mn!" Kouga said.

[ganondorf2]

"Interesting..." Ganondorf said, with a smirk, "Maybe I should show you mine?"

[The Melee Master]

A smirk was seen on his face, "Then let's see."

[ganondorf2]

"I have many, here's one," Ganondorf said then focused himself, making blue vains appear on his body.

Link and I stood back.

The vains then spread and started to become armor, and the smell of a toxin fills Ghirahim's nose.

[The Melee Master]

The scent didn't make the demon lord flinch, but it still caught his curiosity, "What is that?"

Thanks to Kouga's sensitive sense of smell, it was even worse for him, enough to cover his mouth and nose and make him gag a little.

"Are you OK?" Ephraim asked him.

((I got cards, money, a ring (which doesn't fit), and a watch for my birthday. Money's been added to my bucket stash, which I'm saving for a WiiU...hopefully, and I'll have my TV paid off probably in June or later, which means more money afterwards. ;D))

[ganondorf2]

"A toxin we know of is on Nova's body," I said, now speaking his real name, not his other, "Phazon."

A flash of blue light, the clone had changed form to show armor of his own.

(Ignore the sword)




(I hope you'll have the money next year then.

[The Melee Master]

((Don't know how much the WiiU is going to cost, but at least I'll get a start, right? *If I don't get it for Christmas*. I have $214 stashed away right now, minus the change. I'm pretty determined to save up, but I also want spending money in case I go shopping and something catches my eye!! I don't know what to do anymore, dang it! ))

"Nova?" then after seeing the clone change, "I admit, this fake beats my ex-master by a mile when it comes to powers, but I still wish to test him."

Now ignoring the smell, he charges directly at Ganondorf with both swords in hand.

[ganondorf2]

(I know what you mean)

[glow=blue,2,300]Ganondorf doesn't get out any weapon, and simply goes into a stance.[/glow]

[The Melee Master]

The weapons just bounce off Ganondorf. Ghirahim pushed himself back away, "An improvement, I admit."

"Now what are you going to do?" Kouga teased, "Give up and flee?"

Ghirahim threw one of his swords at Kouga, impaling his right leg. He lets out a shout and falls to his knees, making the pain worse.

"All talk, I was afraid of that. Thus, fighting you will prove too easy, not that it matters since your life or death has no consequence." That's when he rushed over to Kouga, face to face, and explained, "But to make up for what happened to me in the past, no one will stand in my way." he then kicked Kouga to the ground, and took out the sword from his leg, "I give you and other people mercy, a chance to flee with your life, and you continue to be such obedient canines and do your master's work, expecting a bone and a pat on the head at the very end."

Confusion clouded Kouga's mind, "I don't-ah! I don't know...what the hell your talking about!"

"Then let me give a shorter version for your simple mind to understand: I am usually good at giving mercy if there are things I have to do, but anyone who keeps standing in my way will no longer get such mercy from me!"

[ganondorf2]

[glow=blue,2,300]"Then you're going to have a problem," Ganondorf said, "I will be standing your way if you continue to do this or I'll bring back up if you hurt anyone again, because you're testing my patience."[/glow]
Link and I stood with the clone, ready for anything.

[The Melee Master]

Kouga managed to stand up and say to Ghirahim, "And your testing mine, too! I'd like to see you try to kill me!"

"You don't know when to give up, do you?" the demon lord was getting ticked off by Kouga now.

The two made a direct charge at one another and Ghirahim leaped at Kouga, his two weapons ready to impale him from above. The wolf demon managed to dodge, causing the two swords to impale deep into the ground. The demon lord tried to pull them out, leaving him open for an attack, but before Kouga could make such attempt, he was impaled in the leg, again, by one of the floating knives that were still surrounding and protecting the enemy, despite being coated with the armor, while he tried to free his weapons.

((So, this is the first villain I've ever RP'd with. How am I doing so far?))

[ganondorf2]

(Pretty good so far ;D)

[glow=blue,2,300]Ganondorf charges in now, knowing he might be impaled with Ghirahim's knive's with no fear, but was also ready incase he gets stabbed as well.[/glow]

[The Melee Master]

((Sweet, thank you! Then I'm glad I chose him for an RP character after all!))

Ghirahim manages to free his two swords and the knives close in and shoot at Ganondorf from all directions. He jumped out of the clone's way and turned to his direction, waiting to see what the outcome would be. Kouga thought he could charge in from behind, and he did just that, slashing Ghirahim in the back with his claws. Thanks to the armor, it didn't work. The demon lord slowly turned around toward him, then lashed out his hand, grabbing Kouga's neck and lifting him off the ground.

"Nuisance!" he hissed, throwing him across the ground.

The three swordsmen were getting tired of watching from the sidelines, but they still didn't want to fight, knowing they wouldn't stand a chance against the demon lord right now, especially in his armored form.

[ganondorf2]

[glow=blue,2,300]That's when Ganondorf vanished and reappeared in front of Ghirahim and said, "Sorry, that trick I've seen too many times."[/glow]
Soul Edge becomes excited, now wanting in on the fight.

(gtg, later)

[The Melee Master]

Ganondorf's armor looked too hard to try to attack directly, even with his own armor, so Ghirahim had no choice but to back off at the moment to study him, hoping to find a weak-point. Then again, finding out his weakness could be saved for another day, if they crossed paths again.

"You may be his descendent, but as long as you have the blood of that traitor, I will not rest until you are vanquished," though Ghirahim didn't know Ganondorf had too many rivals as it is, "and anyone else who opposes me will be sought out, and destroyed, too."

It was too soon to give up on the battle, way too soon, but with them fighting in armored forms, there was no contest. It would just be wasting everyone's time. Still, Ghirahim showed no signs of backing out, at least not yet.

[ganondorf2]

"Hey Ganon! You should tell him, you a have a lot of people wanting you dead in the first place," Link said, giving the clone a chuckle, "What number is this now?"

[glow=blue,2,300]He thinks then said, with a shrug, "I think...6?"[/glow]
"About there," I said.

"I thought it was 7?"

[The Melee Master]

"In other words, you want to kill him, you better do it fast," Kouga said with a smirk.

"Kouga," Eliwood said, "Shut up!"

"It's no surprise you have more enemies than you can count," Ghirahim said, "I expected it, really." He started to walk around, "Nova, was it?" he tried to get a grasp at Ganondorf's real name, "Then that's the name I shall indulge you by from now on, since your just a mere copy."

The black armor coating faded from his body, "Our time together has been spent, but I'm not through with you, not yet. The only reason I am allowing you to live today is to see just what kind of guy you are and, apart from what you showed me already, how different you truly are from your ancestor."

He paused briefly before turning his head to Link, his hair hiding one eye as he gave off a small but fearful grin, "And don't think I have forgotten you, heroic clone."

[ganondorf2]

"I'll be having fun with you, no joke," Link said, crossing his arms.

I gave a smirk to that, noticing Ghirahim wasn't even paying attention to me, knowing what I'm like.

[The Melee Master]

"For now, I will let you all go, but as I said, I'm not through yet."

Ghirahim was more into Ganondorf and Link since he was more familiar with them than everyone else, clone or not, but now that the fight was done, he had more time to notice Ganondorf2. Instead of speaking, he gave her a cold stare, showing that he didn't forget her and will be testing her out later, too. A snap of his fingers, and he vanished from the area.

"Talk about creepy with a capital C." Eliwood said.

"Yeah yeah," Kouga rolled his eyes, "I'll be ready for him next time, make no mistake."

Marth and Ephraim didn't speak out.

[ganondorf2]

Ganondorf changes back and said to Kouga, "You better heal first."

"Soul Edge and I will be ready," I said, taking out my sword, "The question is...will he?"

I wink at my weapon and he winks back.

[The Melee Master]

"There's no doubt in my mind that he will be," Ephraim said to Ganondorf2, then to Kouga, "how are you feeling?"

Kouga replied without looking at the prince, "Fine, fine. My cuts and bruises will heal, so don't worry too much about me."

"Your c0ckiness is what I'm worried about at the moment," Eliwood said with his arms crossed.

"What do you mean?"

"You know exactly what I mean!"

Marth stayed out of it, but he agreed with Eliwood that Kouga's stubbornness almost got him killed.

[ganondorf2]

"Time will tell if that fellow will show again," Ganondorf said, "I'll be having fun with him."

"Now there's the King, of c0cky," Link said.

"Shut up," the clone said, while chuckling.

[The Melee Master]

((I've held this off long enough. Nothing's planned out, so...I'm playing it by ear, if that's what you want to call this. I just don't know what else to do with this story, d@mn it! ))

Eliwood smiled at them.

"He claims he wants to see how different Ganondorf is from Demise, but I think he just wants revenge against Demise or anyone related to him." Marth said.

"Those who go after revenge are always prone to fail," Kouga said, "I was one of them when I thought that mutt-face, Inuyasha, slaughtered half my tribe, when it was really the work of another demon."

"Ghirahim knows what we know about his own past, so we're trapped in the middle whether we want to be or not," Ephraim said with slight disappointment, shaking his head, "I honestly have no clue what to do at a time like this."

"But you seem to know more about the Demon Lord than the rest of us, Ephraim," Eliwood said, "well, you and Ganondorf, I think."

"I've only gotten such information by reading and by what he told us earlier, but other than that, I don't know the whole story behind the guy and what he's currently after."

Kouga shook his head, "He wants revenge against Ganondorf, Link, and Zelda. What else?"

"But they're clones of the ones who were really involved."

"Doesn't seem to make a difference for the demon freak, now does it?"

"Oh dear," Marth sighed, agreeing with Kouga.

[ganondorf2]

(I'm sure you'll get something)

"Boy, he'd even be more mad if I showed him this," Ganondorf said and pulls out a sword that looks just like Demise's.

"What the?! Where'd you get that?!" Link asked.

[The Melee Master]

((Hope so.))

The minute Ephiram saw that sword, his heart jumped. He rushed over and looked at the sword, running his fingers on the smooth, middle part.

"Where...where did you find this?" he asked, almost breathlessly, "Please tell me."

"What difference does it make?" Kouga asked.

"I thought it vanished after Demise was sealed away. How in the world..."

"No, if Ganondorf claimed to have met Demise a while back, then the Demon King would've had his sword with him. But I'm with Ephraim on question how you obtained that sword in the first place," Marth said to Ganondorf, "unless you created a carbon copy of the weapon, like what the Galactic Federation did with Samantha's armor for Samuel."

"Huh?" Kouga turned to Marth, confused on the Galactic part.

A shake of his head, "Never mind."

[ganondorf2]

"Nope, this is no copy. You see a while back, I sure you heard, me say about him having his sword and sensed Ghirahim not being in it? He gave this to me, out of trust. Protecting him from-"

"I told them about Zemus trying to use him," I said, "Sorry to cut you off there."

"OK, wasn't sure," Ganondorf said.

(This will be shown in the final battle with Zemus in Shadow's RP)

[The Melee Master]

"What are you talking about?" Kouga asked, "I don't remember ever seeing you guys until just recently."

"Wait, is something else going on that we don't know about?" Eliwood asked.

((Cool on Zemus's battle. And, um, I'm purposely using my characters that aren't involved in Shadow's RP, so they don't know what's going on there. I figured it'd lesson some confusion that way...?))

[ganondorf2]

(I know. That's why Ganondorf's telling them, because they don't know)

"It was best you weren't there," I said, "It was crazy."

"You see, my foe is a fellow by the name of Zemus. He tries to do anything to destroy everything. He thought Demise would do that, by reviving and summoning him. It back fired as he didn't want to do that," Ganondorf explains.

[The Melee Master]

Kouga starts laughing about the drawback of Demise and Zemus.

"Zemus would have a hard time with Ghirahim if they meet," Ephiram said, "I just know it. If he won't allow Demise to control him again, then why would he let anyone else? He said so himself. Not only that, but if he could bring back Moldarach so easily, then..."

"Moldarach wasn't 'all there', remember?" Marth asked, "Whatever power he has to bring back past monsters, it's obviously not enough to help."

"Unless...he decides to use sacrifices to fully restore the monsters to their full natural selves, like he did with Zelda upon reviving Demise."

"D@mn it," Kouga said, "I forgot about that."

Eliwood got nervous at that point, "You think that's what he's planning right now?"

"If he knows where he can find sacrificial victims, then it's not impossible."

[ganondorf2]

"Be thankful I sealed Zemus away. You see, Zemus thrives on anything with hate, so in other words Ghirahim would have made him stronger," the clone said.

"He also has ways of making you part of his army," I then say.
