The Waiting Game (FINISHED)

[xeondarkness95]

Draxor stared at her as she walked out, he sighed. "Vengence is only connected to my powers, he's the living opposite of me." He started to feel weak again, he pulled out his sword and stuck it to the ground to stablize himself. "Vengence is no ordinary power either. he consumes the hatred and anger of others until he becomes a powerful god like being." he sighed again, for this time, Vengence would win and with Draxor's body, he could obtain power no man has ever seen. Draxor turned to Mesa, "Does she ever show compation or kindness to people like me? Mesa, I may be weak, but I have to defeat Vengence here and now. i barely beat him before, but he retreated as we were equally matched. if i defeat him, he will give back the power i need for Black Vengance and i will be able to control it, and he will never harm anyone again."

Vengence watched the girl who came out. she spoke aloud to call the android out, saying his name. "well, i don't know where the android is, but I'll seek him out later. you have made it a easy life so far Amaranth, burning so much anger at Draxor. I have you to thank now, for because of you i can kill him. you were mistaken when you said i am just power, i am a living being of rage and hate." Vengence was creeping in the shadows, he appeared in full body on top of piece of rubble. "you understand that if i kill him and gain his body, it will be the end of all life." he gave her a evil grinn, and laughed. "well Draxor's waiting time is almost up. I'll let you kill him for me if you wish, you hate him." his grinn grew wider.

[aka]

Mesa was unsure of how to react when Amaranth told her that she was not needed to help heal her wound. At first she thought she was just being tough and trying to play the part of the hero. She had quickly brushed that thought a side an knew right away their was meaning behind it. Mesa had no idea what it was but she assumed if she felt it was necessary for her to know it would have been stated. As Amaranth eyes fell upon Draxor so did Mesa's. No words came from her mouth really what had she to say to him.

Yes Mesa was human, and had no darkness in her soul, well at least not equal to the level of Draxor's. Once such as her knew what evil in one's heart could bring dismay. More times than none she had watched people become corrupt with power. Yes this was in a way different from politics but all in all war and politics were the same right? She thought to herself shaking her head and watching Amaranth walk outdoors weaving around puddles of water that formed on the ground.

A feeling of abominable proportion crept up her spine as Draxor started to move on his own again. It was not due to Draxor but the feeling that something was about to happen that no one was expecting. She hoped she was wrong no...she prayed she was wrong. Walking over to Draxor she place her hand over his shoulder. "Listen, My words may not mean too much to you but this is not the time to try anything risky. Amaranth can handle this on her own." Her eyes were locked on Amaranth as she spoke. She then looked at Draxor. "One day you will be standing in that position with you sister at your side. Why rush destiny. Please I ask you to say here and watch try to not let your eyes astray. With those words she walked away from him stopping just before exiting the building she lend back against the wall wait for the action to begin.

[C.haos]

C.haos's eyes widened as he watched most of the three exit the building. The blond girl shouted to him, calling him out, but he was much to wise to attack. He would have his vengence soon enough. But for now, he would stay back, and wait for the perfect moment to strike. He listened to them talk, but their words slipped him mind. It was mindless mumbo-jumbo, which he didn't care to hear.

(Sorry about the shortness... Its hard to write a post about waiting. Haha.)

[ammy]

Without even looking over at the being, Amaranth raised her hand and shot a blast of her red Hua at him.

"You talk to much," she said, her voice colder than ice. Her back burned, a scorching heat that cooled her emotions to a quiet rage. This was not the girl who had watched their fight earlier, nor was this the one who had threatened to rip Draxor's lungs out. She was cold, her eyes holding nothing. No love. No hate. No annoyance. Just a cold, detached stare. In truth, a hatred pure and deep stirred within her. Hatred for dark powers. A hatred for blood magic. A hatred that had been thrust into her little over a year ago. Memories flooded back. Blake's face, splattered with her blood as he knelt over her body, laughing as she bled out onto the ground. His red eyes and manic laugh that followed her everywhere. Dark magic had taken not only her first love, but part of her sanity as well.

She turned to the being Draxor called Vengeance, her eyes that of a killer. She took him in silently, studying him. He was stronger than Draxor, she could tell that. But, he was weaker than her. Much weaker. Her eyes flickered over to where Mesa and Draxor stood. Not only were her eyes cold, they were a deep, dark red. A color found only in blood. Without a word, she gazed back at the being.

"You're annoying," she said, revealing two slim, sharp fangs. Raising her hand again, she fired off three more blasts of her Hua at the being.

[xeondarkness95]

"No Don't!" But Draxor's cry came too late as Vengence disappeared, appearing only a few feet away. Amaranth was now in rage, and Vengence was feeding off it. Draxor now was ready to fight, he charged at Vengence and attempted a helm splitter attack. he completed the move with out the scratch. He spun around and with skill he never had, slammed the flat of the blade against Vengence's head. as Vengence fell Draxor slammed the blade through his chest. he walked away from Vengence and walked over to Amaranth, grabbing her by the shoulders. "Amaranth, listen to me, focus. I need you to calm down, its over. the android is all thats left. Please let us help, Mesa does Amaranth ever tell you anything about this?"

[aka]

Mesa eyes followed everything, like a movie being played back again and again each time slower than the last. It is true she wanted in on the fight but there was nothing she could do at the moment. She had also hoped her word had effected the young boy in a way that he would not jump into action.

Amaranth had changed in the matter of seconds not sure what this would mean for the battle, but she still kept her sanity so Mesa felt she could still be trusted. Before Mesa could move a finger Draxor had rushed out to join the fray, she hated herself for her weakness if she had been strong she could have pulled Draxor back in and let Amaranth fight on her own.

Much like a ninja Mesa fell back into the building disappearing into the shadows, her role at the moment was not to fight, nor was it to just stand by idle and watch the fight. If he had returned the android had a plan mean now it was Mesa turn to place a plan into action. She was now quite a bit older than the last time she had formatted a plan against then creature but this time her plan would be much more concrete.

[C.haos]

C.haos watched as the saiyan boy attacked an someone who looked alot like him. The blond girl attacked as well. This made C.haos's brow rise with confusion. "These kids just keep getting more and more confusing..." he thought to himself, shaking his head.

His confusion faded into seriousness as the pink-haired girl faded into a building. Could this be he chance? He hoped so. With the distraction taking place down below, C.haos slipped out a hole in the back of the building and silently drifted over the the one the girl had entered. He made sure to admit no power, not wanting to ruin his ambush, and slunk up against the wall, his ear close to the window to listen for any sounds.

[ammy]

She watched quietly as Draxor ran out, stabbing the being. So much for it being a hard fight. And what happened to not being able to move much? Amaranth liked that better. As he ran up to her, grabbing her by the shoulders and yelling frantically, she sighed, knocking away his hands.

"Despri," she said venomously, reverting back to her Noran tongue. Her fangs slid back into her mouth, though her eyes remained crimson.

"What makes you think I've told any one of you anything about me. What makes you think I'd want to, you stupid idiot. And do you even know what dark magic can do? What it takes?" she hissed out, glaring daggers. Her back ached, the pain slowly receding. Amaranth closed her eyes, turning away, taking a deep breath.

"You know what...forget it. We have bigger things to worry about..." she muttered, opening her now-blue eyes and walking back into the building where they had been moments before. The android obviously wasn't answering her call, if he was even still around that is. Amaranth leaned against one of the walls, taking another calming breath. Her heart still pounded and the residual pain was still there. Looking up, she glanced over at Mesa.

"You seem to be deep in thought," she stated quietly.

[xeondarkness95]

Amaranth spoke harshly, but Draxor understood. She had lost someone close, a lover, he made no attempt to follow. Draxor turned to Vengence, who was trapped by the sword, he tried to pull out the blade. " You've been beaten, just give up." Draxor spoke. Vengence stopped struggling, he knew he had been beaten, he would never be released again. "fine, if you need me you know where to speeak with me." he turned into a energy and was absorbed into draxor's body. Draxor pulled the sword from the ground, sheathing it. he stood there for a moment, thinking of how he would face Amaranth again, he thought to not bring it up. he walked to the building, as he did a sense of foreboding came to him. " is he here?" he ran in, it may have been a gut feeling but he didn't want to keep them in the dark. the android is hiding in the building somewhere." he said, he could feel it, but he didn't know how or where. he didn't want to ask Vengence but he thought it would be a good idea.

[aka]

Dashing to the openning Mesa quickly cover the mouth of Draxor before he could speak, "Shut your face! You don't think we know what's going on? she said in a hushed tone. If there was one thing that got under Mesa's skin at this age was ignorance. At a time like this all it will do it get use all killed. Removing her hand from his mouth she hoped he would not continue being,well himself. She them pointed outside to the area in which he had just come from "I want you to Draw that sword of yours go outside and STAY there until told other wise." To Draxor this might have come across as mean but Mesa was tired of this run around game that was talking place with the android. It was clear what he was plotting and she wanted to make the first move in toward victory in the chess game of life.

Hoping the boy would listen to her Mesa's blue eyes gazed at Amaranth while walking toward a busted window that had been over looked the whole time they had been there she spoke. "I don't mean to sound over confident, But I have never lose in a game of chess, and chess is a game of war is it not? Placing her hand on the window pane she lifted herself up. Before leaving the room she looked at both of them and said Trust me, all you need is you're skills.''

Jumping down Mesa's floppy shoes smacked the ground in the same way the did when ever she ran. Taking off at a decent pace Mesa stayed in cover quickly making distance between the group, with the occasional tripping over large mounds of rocks and running into walls while turn corners to fast. This was her chance her only chance to do what she had to. If it didn't happen now when would she be able to separate herself from those two. "I can't fight that damn thing she said quietly to herself." Still run toward a distant location.

Breathing heavily after only a minute or so of running she fell down to her knees, she seemed to be out of energy. It's not like most Prime minister run normally everyday. Her soft blue colored eyes opened wide as she noticed where she was. "Oh crap!" she said in a normal tone of voice. She had found herself stuck between a rock and a hard place. Trapped between rubble going three of four ways the fourth being the way in which she had just come from, she now had two options. One she could use her ability to flatten the land, but giving her location to the android or two she could double back and find a new path. Not please with either she started to climb the rocks and debris hoping to get away before the android could locate her.

[C.haos]

C.haos heard little as he listened in. Something about chess... What were they doing, discussing games? Was it a distraction? C.hoas didn't understand. But he heard the window open, and quickly rushed around the building, hiding from sight. The next thing he heard was a quick thump of feet against the pavement. Was one of them on the run? He silently peaked around the corner, and a grin rushed over his face as he watched bright pink hair round a corner.

Quickly and quietly, C.haos followed the girl, staying low to the ground and out of sight. He watched as she ran, trying to comprehend her plan. But this was too random... Too perfect... Was it a trap? Perhaps, but that didn't bother C.haos. He'd been waiting for them to separate, and now was his chance.

Seconds late, even more perfection seemed to fall into place as the girl headed towards a dead end. Though the others would not be far behind, C.haos weighed his options. Either he could attack now, and risk the others coming, or he could wait... But if he waited, there was no telling how long he would be doing so.

He decided to take his shot. Slowly, he rose from the rubble, a few feet from the ground. He'd keep his distance from this girl this time, having come face-to-face with her ability last time. Using a small amount of energy, he formed a black ball in his hand, which he pointed towards the girl, "Say good bye, little one..." He said, before firing the ball towards the girl's back.

The girl would only have a few second to react, by C.hoas had learned that a few seconds was all it took. Between his first action, of creating the ball of Ki, which would let off just enough energy for the girl to sense, and his second, of speaking before firing, he was sure the girl would have enough time to react. But where would the fun be in not allowing the girl any time to fight back? How could C.haos make he suffer for his humiliation hours before that way? He was going to let her try to fight her way out. Like a mouse caught in a trap. He would let her know her time had come when he was ready for it.

[ammy]

Amaranth flew past, grabbing Mesa under her arms from behind, moving her out of the path of the blast. Setting her down on top of the ruins, Amaranth nodded.

"You okay?" Amaranth asked, hovering slightly in the air. It looks like she had gotten there just in time. A second longer and Mesa wouldn't have been able to avoid it from that point. Amaranth turned toward the android, a grin on her face.

"Nice plan by the way," she said. It hadn't taken long for her to figure out. She had watched quietly as Mesa scolded the boy, going on about what she could only guess was an Earthen game. As the girl took off, Amaranth turned her gaze toward Draxor, her voice a bit softer.

"Draxor...no matter what you think, you're hurt too bad to fight again. And don't give me any bullshit about that, I'm not in the mood. When I fight the android, I want you to get Mesa and run. Okay?" she said, blue eyes locked onto his. She then had followed Mesa a good way away, using her advanced hearing to track her. And now here she was, hovering in the air facing the android as last.

"Ready to play?' she said, eyes a deep red. Quick as a snake, Amaranth lashed out her arm and shot a blast of her Hua at he android, making the first move.

[xeondarkness95]

Draxor understood, even with his will to fight, his body was in no condition. "Just stay alive. I want to look at your face again, as my new friend." he said with a smile. it was the smile no one had seen for a few years. he followed Amaranth to be able to grab Mesa and run to a safe distance. he walked to Amaranth before she engaged the Android, he pulled one of his sister's bracelets and put it on her wrist. without a word he grabbed Mesa's arm and ran for a while. " you might wanna hold on." he put her on his back wrapping her arms around his neck. he took a leap and began to fly. " we need to find a place to get away from the battle, any ideas?" he asked. Syrus was flying next to them, Draxor was releived that he didn't leave his greatest friend behind. 'Amaranth, you are my friend, i see you as my friend. your troubles that scar you, tell them to your friends. i see the memories trouble you, so i won't bring them up unless you do. please, keep the bracelet, i hope to meet you again.' he thought. he wished he could have told Amaranth before he left but he had to get away from the android.

[aka]

Sorry Please continue, sorry for the delay.


Being carried to the top of the rock face did not scared nor did the attack coming at her back. Her emotions were calm like a river in the earliest hours of the morning. She was glad she could just the two fighter. It could have been they all so each others as friend or the simple fact they all just wanted the same thing. They all wanted to end this grown-up version of hide and seek. Lucky it seemed Mesa plan had worked and now Amaranth had an open area to fight the beast.

Mesa puckered her lips while she blew air up from her lips. Her pink puffy hair danced above her forehead just before Draxor picked her up and carried her off. She was tempted to fight him off at first put without to much of a struggle she dangled in the air hung in the arms of Draxor. Not the best feeling in the world she thought but the site is amazing.

[C.haos]

C.haos grinned as the pink haired girl was replaced with the blond. Although he had been. Wanting to toy with her, the thought of beating the strongest of the three first amused him. After he finished her off, he would simply track the other two down without a problem, and dispose of them. Simple.

But he wasn't expecting this to be easy. After all, he wanted to have fun while he faught. And he was ready when she shot a blast at him. Crossing his arms over his chest, his tail smashed into it, splitting the blast in two, and making it explode into the buildings behind him. "You'll do, then." He told her, a wicked grin plastered across his face.

Without much effort, his ki exploded outwards, and spiraled around him. He lowered his arms and crouched low into his fighting stance, "I hope you are prepared to bleed, girl, because I am going to kick your ass." And with that, he rushed her, pulling his right fist back for a punch to the face.

In this battle, he would not rely on his blasts. At least, not so soon. He was sure he would need his energy as the fight progressed. And though C.haos was confident in his abilities, he was not stupid. Using all your energy so soon in a battle is a mistake that leads to death. But perhaps he could make her make that fatal mistake...
