The Second Strike

[Cody]

Legions of demons surrounded the gate's of the kingdom, many of them were already banging at the gates with their many weapons and magic's, other's were trying to pick away at the many archers that were firing down on them.

In the far distance Blacklore, a large man with long white hair, and mage's robe stood and watched with a grim expression "Interesting, this gate might need more the brute strength to penetrate its many walls... no matter..." Blacklore held up one of his hands and sighed "Such a bother... but it must be done" Suddenly from the sky's above a large meteorite plummeted from above, "It should take about one hour for this space rock to get here, but when it dose" he smiled and looked at the gates once more. "Their will be nothing left of that gate"

[Zuki Tamaro]

Zuki glared down at the enemies. He then looked up at the skies and then widened his eyes. "What in blazing hell?" He then looked around, wondering what kind of force that brought forth the meteor. He then spotted him from a far distance. He gave a dark glare and then teleported towards him from his side. Without hesitation, he dashed right up to him and brought out his daggers in attempt to slash at his head.

[Ryhe]

Ryhe looked up from the shrieking and panicking from the army outside. He came out of the bar and looked around, frantic to know what was going on. Suddenly, a soldier noticed he was an able-bodied warrior and grabbed him by the arm, dragging him to the men getting ready to fight.

[Zuki Tamaro]

A royal paladin, one of the rare and selected noble ones walked up to the solider. "Stop! I'll take this guy." He eyed him. He then smiled. "I am Vesil Chanrage, A Silverknight Paladin. I'm the only one with this rank. You look like you have some use for me. Come and I'll get you prepared. We got to get to the armory quickly in oder to suit you up in the bests of armor. I hope you don't mind, but you have to wear one of the paladin's archerer armorer. It's more cheap, yet more manuverable and defensive than regular archer armor. I need you, because I need a partner in order to aid you in combat. Also, you will be battling along side with me and King Zuki... Wherever he is." He took hold of his arm. "So what weapon do you perfer? Fists is your last choice of weapon if you get disarmed. I'll let you have the jagged gauntlets, which are meant for fist battle in case you loose your weapon. But I know you wouldn't. And don't worry. All these things I'm getting you, I'm buying. I just need you to get prepared. I fear that the meteor is going to take out the wall soon. Thank god there are holy preists and enchanters that are going to be enchanting for a long time and cast it right when the wall is broken, creating the greatest silver barrier, another impenetrable wall. Heh heh... We are an ass to get breached, arn't we?" He smirked and looked at Ryhe. He was treating him like he knew him.

[Ryhe]

Ryhe blinked rapidly, "Uh... I lost you at the first Paladin...." He was utterly confused at the speech, "What's attacking?"

[Zuki Tamaro]

"I don't know. Some dark and demonic force that no ordinary knight can slaughter. Only us paladins are able to, because our weapons are blessed in holy light. Heh, kind of ironic that I'm a vampire and I would kill myself with those weapons. But it's a sacrifice you got to take." He smirked. "But, what I heard is Zuki rushed out on his own to slay the monster on his own. Knowing him, he doesn't have his weapons blessed like we do. That's why we have to come prepared. As I was saying. I need you to be suit up and ready, so we can go together and aid King Zuki, like it or not, in order to battle the Dark lord of whatever."

[Ryhe]

"Well, alright then. Just make sure what you put me in fits." Ryhe smirked. At long last, as war. He's been dying to fight in one for a while now. He was worried he was getting rusty, but he was still confident he'll kick ass.

[Zuki Tamaro]

Versil chuckled. "Alright." As they entered the blacksmith, he began ordering the armors. After a few minutes, he got all that he wanted and handed the heavy load to Ryhe. *alright, get suited up! Then we'll find a weapon you like."

[Ryhe]

"Oh, I doona need a new one." He patted his hip on Jnmucw, a large, silver claymore hooked to his belt. He leaned Jnmucw on a wall and started suiting up, "How much are we looking at?"

[Cody]

As Zuki's daggers where about to make contact with Darklore's head, he placed his hand up and stopped both of the blades with a barrier "It is futile" the dark man muttered with a grin "You don't stand no chance, we have already gotten the first tear, and now we will have the second"

With his other hand Blacklore drew out his own blade, it looked to be forged of coral, its twisted and jagged shape, but it was black like it had been scorched by a strong flame.

With this blade Blacklore made one quick motion and tried to slash the side of the King Zuki.

[Zuki Tamaro]

Zuki seemed to dissapear and reappear right from behind. His quickness was up on high gear. Zuki was in beserk mode, attempting to score a hit. He jumped up and attempted to kick him across the face. Zuki stayed quiet in full concentration.

The paladin counted, "Around seven thousand, only because it's custom made for fitting the user. It's also great if you are a shifter too. And the armor is enchanted to deflect magical attacks back to the enemy." He told him.

[Ryhe]

Ryhe flinched at 'shifter' and closed his eyes, then finished strapping in. After he tried it out a little, moving around in it, he chuckled, "I like the color." He smirked at the Paladin, "Where to now?" He asked as he strapped on his claymore.

[Cody]

With a loud crack the foot made contact with Darklores face, he slowly retracted his head around and faced Zuki with a smile "Strong, good I need to warm up a bit before we invade the dragon territory!"

Darklore suddenly swept his blade into the mid air and slashed the space between them causing a sonic boom to emit from the air.

[Zuki Tamaro]

Zuki got blasted back and he cursed, as he got a cut across his face. He landed and held his face, waiting for it to heal. "Quick on the blade." He said with a smirk. He then frowned and then attacked him. He was near inches from hitting him, but dissapeared and then reappeared behind and striked him from behind.

The paladin grabbed hold of his hand. "Now you may feel a little pull on your body. It helps if you hold your breath." He then closed his eyes and then teleported to where King Zuki was at, about twenty yards away.

[Ryhe]

"What are you-" Ryhe's head reared back a little an he gasped, gritting his teeth at the tug. As soon as they got there, he tripped on his own feet and feel.

[Cody]

Darklore growled as his back was slashed by Zuki's daggers, "Petty fool... you don't know what you are up against!" he swept around and looked Zuki in the eye, the pits of his pupil was empty as his magic was dark. The ground rumbled suddenly and a pillar of earth shot at Zuki with great force.

Meanwhile Darklore made his way backward away from Zuki to gain some casting distance.

Also down at the gates more and more demons appeared out of the dark pools of nothingness, the meteor began to enter the planets atmosphere with a loud roar. The demons seeing this intensified their attacks, putting more magic and strength in pushing down the walls.

[Zuki Tamaro]

Zuki with quick reflexes, positioned his feet just right that he got pushed up real quickly. It twisted his ankle a little, but he ignored the pain. He jumped off and ran down it and quickly rushed towards the monster. "Why are you attacking us!?" Zuki barked out finally.

Vasil helped Ryhe up. "I told you to hold your breath." He said with a chuckle. He looked and noticed Zuki and Darklore fighting. "Man, that's a big brute... Alright. Let's get him!" He wispered magic into Ryhe's weapon, making it shine brilliantly with holy magic, making it enchanted. He then did the same to his sword. "Alright! Go!" He then rushed up, roaring, "For Crysos!" He then attempted to slash at Darklore.

Zuki blinked and then smirked as one of his best warriors he personally trainned was with him. He then charged in to help out.

[Ryhe]

Ryhe looked into the sky, the meteor coming at them. His knees shook, then he snapped out of it and looked back, snarling. He raised his claymore and charged as well, leaping into the air and striking at Darklore.

[Cody]

Darklore grumbled as the two new warriors charged "Impudence!" suddenly his form twisted and became a blur, two other forms emerged from Darklores body, both of them exact copy's of himself with the same power to match "INFIDELS!" cried out all three at once.

The 1st copy that was attacking Zuki braced his blade upward to stop any attacks that Zuki threw and returned the attacks with some of his own, but stayed on defense.

The one that was being attacked by Vasil also braced his blade against the slash with a wince "Fools!" this Darklore made a slash of his own, forcing the two apart.

The third Darklore didn't anticipate Ryhe's attack and was slashed across the shoulder, but he didn't cry out in pain, only winced as the claymore bit into his skin, "Petty fool!" and returned Ryhe's attack with many slashes of his own trying to catch him off balance.

[Zuki Tamaro]

Zuki jumped back. He closed his fists together and then closed his eyes. Zuki split in two and formed two more, then two became four. They stood ready. "Come on and attack me." They all said. It's more of a guessing game than a attack. Though, there was a trick. None of them were real, Zuki was somewhere else.

Vasil stopped the attack and glared. He stood from afar as he made his hand like holding a bow, and his sword aiming at him, making it seem like the arrow. Magic formed as the sword became a holy arrow and the magical bow strung back. He then shot a powerful arrow at him.

[Ryhe]

Ryhe gasped and roared out as all his blocks failed. With every slash, the armor grunted and creaked, denting into his ribs till several broke. He yelled and flung back at the last impact.

Ryhe quickly got to his knees, then hummed, molten rock coming out of the ground and forming around Darklore's clone's legs.
