"I sense great danger. The dark creature approaches." Said Vylor so quietly that only Dnate and Longtail could hear.

Dante stepped out from behid the bush as well, grinning at his brother...
"Well, Virgil? I'm Here. Release Cera!"

Virgil smirked as he looked at the glowing wings, and he replied...
"And if I don't? What then?"

Dante smiled wider, revealing his teeth, which had elongated and sharpened, and stated...
"Then you'll die. Simple as that."

Virgil's eyes hardened as he looked at the now glowing weapons held in his brother's claws and he laughed...
"So... You still use those weak things? In that case, let me show you my weapon..."

With a swing of his arm, Virgil formed a black blade, and a cloud of darkness fromed around him. The brothers faced off, circling warily...

Dark-Eye ran right into the scene.
"You two are the ones I am after. I shall rip the magic out of you!" he said to Argaya and Vylor.

"Bring it then. I don't need magic to defeat you." Said Vylor

Nor do I. said Argaya.

Then Dark-Eye leaped at Vylor, his claws thrashing wildly.

"Your time is up. Die, Virgil!" Dante yelled as he rushed his brother with both swords, only to have them parried by Virgil's dark blade.
"Poor brother. You still are not yet strong enough to beat me..."
Virgil said, focing Dante back before responding with a flurry of strikes. Dante cried out in pain as one of the swings hit home, striking his left arm, forcing him to drop his sword...

Vylor drew out four throwing staves and hurled them at Dark-Eye. Dark-Eye dodged the projectiles and pierced Argaya's left wing, leaving three long gashes.

Vylor felt a searing pain shoot through his left arm. He drew his hook swords, dismounted Argaya, and charged.

Dante, still clutching his wounded arm, came around with a powerful kick that struck Virgil reeling, then lunged, aiming to deliver a cripping strike to Virgil's arm, but was stopped by the dark aura around him. Then a shadow arm formed and struck him, flinging him backwards into a wall.
"Surprised, brother? The darkness serves me, and I can use it to my will. Face it. You can't win..."
Dante staggered to his feet, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and retorted...
"Can't I? I did before, and I will again. Now bring it!"

Vylor hooked the ends of his swords around Dark-Eye's legs and pulled his legs out from under the raptor. Vylor then let go of the swords, jumped five feet into the air, and came down right on top of Dark-Eye's chest.

Then Dark-Eye began thrashing at Vylor's legs. The claws left painful wounds all over Vylor's legs.

Longtail and Korr didn't say anything to one another...they just stared each other down for a moment longer then Korr charged at Longtail. And at that moment Longtail began his little glowing trick...and used his tail to whip the wind and knocked Korr off his feet. He skidded to a stop and charged again, only to be knocked off his feet once more...and Longtail hadn't moved yet!

Longtail smiled and said "What's wrong Korr...can't find your feet?" "You FREAK!!" this time however Korr managed to reach Longtail, and stepped on his tail forcing the young flyer to scream in pain....but that came with a price, as a bolt of sky fire came out of the sky and struck Korr on his horn forcibly blowing the two combatants apart from each other...both landing with a thud on the ground.

While Longtail was stunned Korr however was unconscious on the ground....And Longtail sighed, but the glow around his body continued to get stronger and brighter, and he was becoming worried, as he walked over and prepared to bite into Korr's belly ready to feast on his insides.

Vylor picked up hhis hook swords, and began to climb to the tallest branches. When he reached the highest branch, he began to take a metal wire and wrap a stave at one end, and tied the other end around one of the blades.

"Longtail! I need sky-fire!" he shouted with all of his might.

At that moment, Argaya opened her mouth and shot a ball of lightning at the blade.

Vylor noticed Argaya's actions and threw the stave at Dark-Eye.

Dante spun around his brother, his right hand glowing with energy, then he jumped into the air, crying out...
"Take this, Brother! Valsyar Flames Apocalypse!"
Before releasing a torrent of fire at Virgil. The flames dissapated before they could hit him, and Virgil grinned evilly as he said...
"Didn't I tell you, Dante? It won't work... What!!!"
Dante had dropped through the cloud of smoke from the last attack, and swung again at Virgil, this time nicking his tail as Virgil dodged...
"Not bad. Now I'm really starting to get ANGRY!!!!"
Virgil yelled as he formed the shadow into one huge mass behind him, which took the form of a giant raptor with a sword. He stared at his brother and laughed...

This stave hit Dark-Eye's claw just as the ball of lightning struck Vylor's sword. The electricity cascaded down the wire and knocked Dark-Eye out. Vylor then pulled the wire back.

Argaya, I will need you to do that again. Vylor told Argaya as his eyes fell on Dante and Virgil.

Okay.

Vylor then threw the stave right at Virgil. This time, I'll add some magic to it. "Brisingr!"

The stave began to glow with a fiery gleam as a cone of silver fire erupted around the stave.

The ball of lightning hit the sword again, and the fire was enhanced with an electric halo.

Longtail was excited he was finally going to taste Korrs blood on hi tongue, and just as he was about to complete his darkest dream....something stopped him....a voice, a childlike voice..."No...not...now!" he cried "We can have our revenge together! Isn't that what you've always wanted little flyer?" 'Yes...but not like this.' said Longtails child self "But you know he would kill both of us if he ever got the chance!" 'Yes...I know...but...this is...just wrong....please don't.'

"Sorry little one...can't be done!" Longtail then bit into Korr's leg ripping out a chunk of flesh, and began to chew on the fresh meat.

Just before the attack would have hit him, Virgil leapt out of the way, and nimbly landed next to Korr and Longtail. He delivered a savage kick to Longtail, pushing him back, and then grabbed Korr's limp form. He then grabbed Dark-Eye as well, and vanished in a blur again.
Dante was stunned. How... How could I have lost to him? Why? was all that was coursing through his mind as he sat there, dazed...

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #273 on:** December 10, 2007, 01:00:30 AM

After the savage and forceful kick from Virgil Longtail regained control of his mind, and body but the glowing didn't stop...he was too confused at what just happened...and he instantly spat out the flesh in his mouth as he replied...."W-What....what happened....to me? I don't remember...anything." Longtail was shedding tears at the thought of what he had done...

StarfallRaptor · **Reply #274 on:** December 10, 2007, 01:13:49 AM

Seeing his friend hurt, and weeping, Dante managed to rouse himself to go to him and place one arm around his shoulders, comforting him gently...

lbt/cty_lover · **Reply #275 on:** December 10, 2007, 03:49:44 PM

Vylor began jumping down to the ground. When he reached the ground, his body began to change back into the gold/silver longneck. Argaya's body was changing likewise.

Vylor and Argaya instantly began to comfort Longtail with Dante.

"Take comfort. You at least did not take a life. You are also still alive, so you can learn from past mistakes. Through mistakes, we grow stronger." Said Vylor.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #276 on:** December 10, 2007, 07:37:30 PM

Longtail was still shaking, but he nonetheless closed his eyes, took a deep breath and after hearing what Vylor said to him, he exhaled the breath and the glowing around his body finally stopped and the storm over head began to disappear as well. His right eye changed back to normal as well, and again he closed his eyes as he said "I think I'm gonna be sick!" he then proceeded to throw up...to which he said soon afterwards "Ewww...that's gross." As Longtail then fell into a deep dreamless sleep while still shedding several tears.

lbt/cty_lover · **Reply #277 on:** December 10, 2007, 07:43:52 PM

"We should get him to his uncle," said Vylor to Dante, "And explain what happened."

"Can you lift him onto my back?" asked Argaya to Dante.

Mim arrived near Cera's nest jogging into the area.

Chomper, Littlefoot and Ruby arrived near Cera's nest as well. "Quite a mess the blowy wind made." Chomper said, as they walked along and right before they arrived in the area.

Petrie found a grownup to tell what he had seen concerning the red horns and what they had said.

"Letta!" exclaimed Vylor. The bubble shielding Cera vanished. "Coming?" asked Vylor.
