The Price of Revenge: A Bloodstained History {closed temp}

[ganondorf2]

"Much appreciated," Aeon said, "Weapon and tool."

I stayed out of it mostly, but asked, "Where's Nova going?"

"I asked him to do me a favor," he said, "Hes the only one for this and the fastest to move on from tragedy."

"Wait...don't tell me..."

[Shadow Dragon]

"Bad?" asked Brian, blinking.

"Hmm," Brandon began to ponder.

[ganondorf2]

"Theres an old foe of ours that takes advantage over things like death...Goes by the name Zemus," the time keeper said, "The death of your ally is the trigger. Now a death of an enemy is going to be the next step to cause rage and confusion."

[Shadow Dragon]

"Like the death of the one that murdered Shawn?" questioned Ed, "Or a more important foe?"

[ganondorf2]

"More important...one of the three leaders," he said.

--------------

Ganondorf lands out in the open and alone, saying to himself, "I know he isn't stupid, but he should know about this threat or his little vengeance will be for nothing if everything is dead."

[Shadow Dragon]

"So if one of the leaders die, Zemus will raise hell?" asked Tristan, "Then what do you expect us to do? Wait around and be killed by one or the other foe?!"

"So we're screwed no matter what we do," Ed sighed, "great!"

"Hold on, you two," Zali tried to calm them.

[ganondorf2]

"Something like that," Aeon said, "Nova is going out there to warn them of a 'human' that will make them think before attacking again. Just to watch out for anything out of the ordinary."

"That's crazy, but I should know better then thinking this..." I said.

[Shadow Dragon]

"Ordinary compared to what so far?" asked Luke, blinking.

[ganondorf2]

"Its hard to explain in simple terms," he said, "He and his team said handle of lot of different events."

-------------

Nova stood out in the open now, before taking out his blades to train and to try and see what will happen.

[Shadow Dragon]

"I'll take your word for it," Luke replied.

"All you can do, Luke," Zali smirked.

"So what do we do now?" I ask everyone.

[ganondorf2]

"Besides wait for big guy to come back," I said, then to Aeon, "He better not get killed doing your job."

"You know him."

"Not an answer..."

[Shadow Dragon]

"Hate for that to happen," said Brian, shoving a hand in one jean pocket, "one is enough."

"You mean one too many," said Kyle.

"All right," Zali tries to keep the peace, "let's try and keep focus on what's ahead of us for now. We'll wait for Ganondorf to come back and then we'll figure out our next plan from there."

"Good enough for me," shrugged Zelos.

Haku nods to this.

[ganondorf2]

"He'll be fine," Aeon said, "He's made to be tough. Can heal from injuries, even those that would be impossible for all living beings."

[Shadow Dragon]

"I've noticed," Zali said, "and that's quite impressive."

[ganondorf2]

"By the way, aren't you forgetting something?" he asked.

"Oh yeah..." I said.

[Shadow Dragon]

"Excuse me?" asked Zali.

[ganondorf2]

"We didn't tell Samantha yet about..." I said

[Shadow Dragon]

"Yeah," said Zali, "we're going to have to tell her."

"I would," Brian agreed, "she has every right to know what's been going on anyway."

The leader nods, "Even more so. I think once we get back to where she is, we should use the time to rest up anyway."

"Yeah," said Haku, "since the clan gave us a break after that, we should take advantage of it while we can."

"Surprised they didn't take advantage and try and kill us next," said Tristan, "least it shows they have some class."

"Or took pity on us," said Ed.

"Do we even have the moral to fight after that living hell anyway?" asked Brian.

None of the gang members replied to their fellow dragon member, nor did Zelos, Brandon, Haku, Vincet, and myself, giving Brian his answer.

"Then it's settled," said Zali with a nod, "and after we rest, we'll figure out our next move."

[ganondorf2]

"I hope your right about the pity part," I said.

"You better use your cameras on Nova right right now," Aeon said

-----------

Ganondorf sensed something and turned to see a shadow, that spoke to him, "Well, I see you're here to warn that clan...the vampire one from me..."

"That I am, Zemus. I know you..."

"And your little group...how are they fairing?"

"You know the answer, so are just going to stand there mocking or do you have another plan of yours I can stop, again?"

[Shadow Dragon]

"Hm?" Zali turns to Aeon.

"Something wrong?" Brandon asks the time keeper.

[ganondorf2]

I walk over to an outdoor computer and it turns on, before it shows Ganondorf was talking to someone, clearly not happy to see the person.

------------------------

"You know I never give up until all life is nothing but dust," Zemus said

"So you're making sure when one group is killed off, namely mine, to get out of your way... The other clan won't be too happy to be played like fiddle."

"More so, when they will make you break...with her gone."

[Shadow Dragon]

The rest of us watch without a word, at least until we hear Zemus's last sentence.

"With who gone?" asked Ed.

That made my teeth clinch, but I didn't say anything.

[ganondorf2]

"Me," I said, "Zemus knows he goes crazy if I'm hurt."

------------------

"Makes me wonder about you still," Ganondorf said, "Are you that hateful with life?"

"Anything that even remotely has happiness in it makes my stomach turn..."

"You need help."

"Not me, you!" He said and fired a blast at the clone to see him side step it, "I see you improved."

[The Melee Master]

"Does Zemus really believe we'll actually allow this?!" Melee questioned as she became irritated of the spirit now.

[ganondorf2]

"Don't you mean, 'sped up?' I've been training since last time. I still wonder how you get out of that medallion. This feels like a chore," Nova said with a sigh.

"Does it matter to you?" Zemus asked, now floating into the light, "Seems nine times out of ten you have fun with me."

"Got to stay positive when things get rough you know."

[Shadow Dragon]

"At least someone tries to be," sighed Zali as he watches the computer.

[ganondorf2]

"I wasted enough time with you," Zemus said, "Just be aware, that clan will target you from here on out when I'm done. What a shame I won't witness it."

"You won't," Maxwell's voice was heard, getting Nova's attention.

"Wait what?!" I said in surprise as he flew in before landing beside the clone in dragon form.

"You think I don't remember what you tried to do to me, spirit?" the very dragon said taking a few steps forward to him, "My rage on you...I'm not even going to place a number of how high."

Ganondorf was about to do a smart alack move to that, but this time he kept his mouth shut.

[Shadow Dragon]

"Wait, what's he talking about again?" asked Brian as he watches.

I shook my head, "Long story."

[ganondorf2]

"Oh yeah, Zemus tried to use the dragon to destroy the world too, and good thing we stopped that," I said, "The dragon was mind controlled at the time."

------------------------------------------------

"You know you can't harm me by normal means," Zemus taunts the dragon.

"Really? You forgot something. It came from your world too."

"Excuse me?"

"Ganon...do me a favor would you?"

He winced at the name but said, "What is it?"

"It's simple, just put up a barrier over yourself and make sure it's tinted, but not too much."

He wondered what it is, but puts it up anyway.

[Shadow Dragon]

"Whoa," said Brian.

"Sounds like this Zemus guy is more trouble than he's worth," said Tristan.
