Dragon World: Souls of Destiny

(Sorry for not posting, been busy.)

Ken just stood there watching the events happening around him. What should I do, there’s nothing I can do… he thought as he squeezed his fists. Then he looked at Nanee and Jessica with a bit of sadness in his face but, that quickly went away as a big grin grew across it. “Heh.. I guess I’m only good for a distraction.” He chuckled. Ken bent forward in a dash position and started to run towards one of the wolfs. Ken was picking up a lot of speed like the ground beneath him allowed him to glide across the terrain.
When he arrived to the beast’s front paws, Ken jumped into the air as high as he could. Something inside of him called out to the earth, causing the ground to shoot up making stepping stones for him. What is this feeling?...Doing this feels so natural to me but, I don’t get it, I should be freaking out.. He thought to himself. When he got to the last step, he flipped forward and kicked the back of the wolf’s head downward, causing it to kneel down.
Ken started to fall with his back facing the ground; he closed his eyes and enjoyed this feeling. His body twirled around and he opened his eyes again to see himself plummeting down to the ground, his eyes widen and all of that good feeling went away to 'I am going to die' feeling so quickly, that he got backlash from it. “Ooh Shii..” He yelled. When he was about to hit the ground he closed his eyes, thinking that he is going to die but, luckily for him the ground partly turned into sand; softening some of the impact. He didn’t die nor broke any bones but he did get knocked out…again.

Kilik looked around, wondering where his help was most needed. After a second he decided that his immediate abilities were best used at close-range, rather than fighting giant wolves.

"Tai! I'm coming to help you, " Kilik shouted as he charged at Aoryu with ice-katana ready. Once he reached him, he thrusted his katana quickly at Aoryu, hopefully taking him by surprise.
 
sorry i was gone for so long.... I had absolutely no computer access while in New Orleans so there was no way i could post. But im back now so....

Hanabi watched the fight unfold before her, deciding whether or not to take part and risk getting killed her first day in.....where ever she was. She leaned against the tree behind her, watching everyone as they struggled to use their new weapons and abilities. Everyone seemed to be getting along fairly well with their abilities, well, all except for Ken, who had been knocked out while Hanabi wasn't paying attention. She tried to hide her worried expression as she ran to his side and dragged him away from all of the commotion. Closing her eyes, she focused what energy she possessed into the palm of her hand and placed it on Ken's forehead. She watched as his eyelids flickered open slowly. "Welcome back hun." She smiled brightly. "You okay?"
 
Rika looked around as the fight began around her. She quietly readied an arrow and pointed it at Aoryu but just when she thought she could get a shot in, Kilik got in the way, attempting to take Aoryu by surprise. Turning to see that a fight with the wolves had also begun she watched as Ken was knocked down in a clever attempt to knock one of the wolves out. 'I'm closer to that battle anyway, might as well help them out instead.'. Watching closely, she saw that as Ken was knocked out, Hanabi went to him and got him out of the way.
'That's good, now I can get a clear shot.' She thought as she took several steps over to where Hanabi and Ken sat.
"Is he okay?" she asked as she looked back at Ken as he woke up again. Turning back around she saw that the wolf Ken had attacked was now back on the prowl and it didn't look happy. "Hanabi make sure that Ken doesn't get up for right now, That wolf is looking for him..." she said letting her voice trail off as she raised her bow and arrow again, this time the tip lit on fire the instant she pulled back. It was so.......natural. The blue flame flickered on and off on the arrow until finally, when the aim was right, she shot at the wolf, bringing it down to its side in one shot.
'Wow, I have good aim.' she thought, 'I just hope I don't have to shoot at all these wolves, I'll surely run out of arrows by then.

((( god so many posts, I leave for a day and I come back to a new page XD you people post wayyyy toooooo fasssttt! haha but thats okay. )))
 
“…I can really go for a soda, right about now..” He said as he slowly got up. He stared at her and spoke, “Where’d the hell you came from, anyhow?” he grinned and rubbed his head. Owe that one hurt, but strangely I’m ready to try that again.. He thought to himself while he kept on staring at her. “I don’t suppose that wolf went down by my kick, did it? Well I’m sure I gave it a headache” Ken chuckled, then he glanced over at the group; to see how’d they are doing but, he quickly turned back at Hanabi.
 
"He won't go anywhere just yet." Hanabi replied. "Just get rid of all those bastards." SHe looked over at ken again. "I was watching the entire time. Why do you keep staring at me?"
 
She whispered a quiet thank you to Hanabi as she continued to shoot off arrow after arrow at the wolves, all of which caught fire just as they began to fly. She shot at least two more wolves and the other was already being taken care of so there was no way she could have possibly hit that one. Turning back to Ken and Hanabi she had to laugh. All Ken seemed to want was a soda.
"How's your head Ken, two knock outs in one day, that has to hurt." she said quietly as she loosened her grip on her bow a little, just now realizing how tight it had been.
 
Tai continued his assault on Aoryu, thankful that someone had rushed to help him. But Aoryu posessed immense physical and magical strength, and would have no trouble dispatching Tai and Kilik at the same time. Sagoda, however, was a different story. He was busy keeping the wolves at bay with various spells, but every once in a while, he'd fire over a Firaga spell to keep Aoryu from doing too much damage.

Meanwhile, Tai's body was full of adrenaline. He steadily strated to move faster and faster, his punches more fierce. Aoryu had noticed this slight change in his movements and tried to avoid them, but they were becoming closer to connecting each time. At the same time, there was Kilik attacking him as well. It was getting too dangerous to try and complete the mission like this. He had to do something, and fast.

"Don't even think about it!" Tai shouted, his fist connecting with Aoryu's cheek, sending him back a couple of feet. This time, Tai's fist didn't hurt at all. When he looked down to see if he had damaged his hand to the point of no return, he was shocked. His hand was covered in silver scales that glistened in the sun.

"What the hell...?"
 
Ken just moved forward and kissed Hanabi for no reason. He quickly backed away blushing, “uuh.. Don’t ask me why I did that.. Hey you know I’m ready to fight again..” He said as he quickly got up to his feet and ran towards the wolfs again. He looked at Rika and said, "oh yea, my head is fine..Hard as a rock..hehe.." He turned back and got ready for round 2.

"I can see that." she said as she watched Ken kiss Hanabi and then dash back off to fight the wolves that were, as of a few seconds ago, knocked down for the count. "I don't think you'll have much trouble with them now, but when you do beat them to a pulp bring back my arrows would you?" she said semi-seriously.
'Rock hard head is right, that boys going to get himself in trouble that way.'

Hanabi blinked, trying to comprehend what just happened. Did he just.....kiss me...? She shook her head, trying to shake off the blush creeping up her cheeks. Trying to ignore the butterflies in her stomach, she continued to watch the fight until it had ended, leaving everyone breathless. She walked over to Ken, the blush crawling up her face again. "W-why did you...?"
 
He looked over at her and spoke, “I don’t know. It seemed like a good idea at the time..” he smirked. “see ya.” He said as he picked up speed again, but this time he’s mostly running away from Hanabi. “come on earth let me control you once again..” he mumbled as he arrived at the front legs again. But this time the beast got smart and was trying to stomp him.
 
A wave of relief seemed to have passed over the group as Ken returned carrying an armful of arrows. However, the heated battle between Aoryu, Kilik, and Tai raged on.

Aoryu ducked back then suddenly disappeared in a flash of red just as the Tai's silvery fist shot where his face had been. He stepped back gracefully and called, "My apologies for the rest of you. Those of you that are destined to join my side will have to wait until another time...you have another problem on your hands."

He smirked, noticing Cisele, the girl he had bitten, rising slowly from the ground, swaying left to right. A strange red aura had begun to surround her, crackling and popping with untamed energy. Aoryu smirked smugly, showing off his white fangs, "I'll be back after my puppet has done her damage." With that said, he disappeared in a whirl of black and red.

Tai was caught off guard by Aoryu's disappearance, but was even more shocked when Cisele suddenly went all berserk.

"Hey, Cisele? You alright, you look a little...strange," he said, trying to piece together everything that was happening in the short time that it had happened.

Puppet? Damage? That coward can't fight his own battles...
 
The surrounding area was eerily silent not even a breeze blowing through the trees. A look of horror crossed Sagoda's face as he noticed Tai walking over to Cisele, "Oi--wait!"

Tai put his hand on Cisele's shoulder and her head snapped up, taking a fraction of a second to stare at him. Her eyes were crimson red, and each eye contained a tiny black cross.

Slowly, Cisele opened her mouth to reveal a pair of glistening white fangs, "Give me..."

Suddenly, she let out an earsplitting howl and tackled Tai, pinning him to the ground and sniffing at his neck like an animal, "I can smell it...dragon blood...give it to me!"
 
He left...Wonder what that was all about.Guess I should follow him. Hanabi smiled and turned to the rest of the group, "I'm gonna go and see where Ken ran off too. I'll be back later." She ran off after him, catching up with him sometime later. "Ran off pretty quick didn't you?" She smiled again.
 
Trying to dodge the beasts claws, Darn why can’t I get the earth to make those stepping stones again.. he thought. His eyes widen as he saw Hanabi there, “This isn’t a good place for you, why’d you follow me anyways?” he said as he slid to his right.
Two stepping stones appeared and Ken used them but he was only able to kick the lower part of the leg of the Wolf. This time he could land on his feet, without hurting himself. “How do we destroy these things?”
Thinking out loud, while still running around.
 
Kilik was startled by that red-haired girl's tackle. Hmm... must be some kind of new-vampire thing...

Kilik tried to help Tai by wrestling her off of him with his vampire muscles. "Listen, you need to learn some control, okay? I don't know if you noticed, but I'm a vampire, too. This kind of thing will wear off, but just try to stay calm," Kilik said to her in a mentor-ish kind of way.
 
Jessica finally woke up and sat up, groaning and looking around. "What happened?" she asked. She saw the one wolf she had been fighting laying on the ground, and wondered if she had done that. Then she saw Nanee nearby, and tried to talk with her, wondering what she saw. "I don't remember much... but it was scary... not as much the wolf, but I could feel something else trying to take control... I don't know what... I ... couldn't handle it, physically or mentally..."
 
“Why do you think I followed you?” Hanabi asked, dodging one of the wolves that had decided that she was a threat since she followed Ken. “Don’t worry about that now though. We can talk after we kill the wolves.” She hissed in pain as the wolf currently attacking her, bit her, leaving several deep (and severely bleeding) cuts on her right forearm. Hanabi closed her eyes, gathering more energy, different from the energy she used to heal Ken, into the palm of her hand.
The energy seemed different; it pulsated a dark purple-black color and formed a small ball in her palm. Hanabi opened her eyes once again, focused on her target, and threw the ball at the wolf, who responded with a howl of pain and fell to the ground, its eyes misted with death. That takes care of one wolf, Hanabi thought, watching as Ken finished off the last wolf among them. She looked down at the bite marks on her arm, and grimaced as the blood pooled at her feet. “Heh, it looks like I need to improve my fighting skills.” She smiled and looked up at Ken, just as a flicker of true concern crossed his face.
