Inside the Arena

[Valkyire]

Valkyire looked at his watch again, it was almost ten o'clock. Concentrating, he mentally called to his sister. He knew she wouldn't come if he just went and asked her to come with him. But this way she almost had to answer him. She knew he only communicated telepathically with her when it was an emergency.

//Lucifel, please, I need to see you in the arena. It's important...//

[Lucifel]

Lucifel came into the arena, searching for her brother. She felt uncomfortable being there right now.

What could Valkyire possibly need to talk to her about at this time and why here?

[Vincent Novak]

Novak Quickly jumped from the shadows as his right hand glowed a lightl blu-ish color.

"Binding Jutsu of the 1st!" He yelled as he pressed his hand agianst her back. The Jutsu was designed to hold even the biggest of oppenents and keep them from moving. He quickly put her over his shoulder and jumped up onto a platform and tied her to the chair.

"I am not gonna hurt you, You are just being used to get Desolace to surrender and come with me" He said softly.

[Ovan Whitfield]

Whitfield watched as the young girl was taken prisoner, He wanted to jump in, but he was being paid to keep Desolace in the Arena.

He pulled one of the levers as the edges of the battlegrounds rose revealing a weapons rack every 8 feet.

"Novak, Once we are done you owe..."

He was cut off as his eyes looked at the enterance to the grounds.

[Desolace]

He got into the enterance just as Novak finished tieing her to the chair. He quickly darted into the center of the arena as he gritted his teeth.

"LET HER GO NOW!"

Desolace yelled interupting Whitfield. His eyes focused only on Novak.

"If you harm one hair on her head... I'll rip that case off your arm, and beat you to death with IT!"

He continued to yell.

[Lucifel]

Lucifel's eyes widened first in shock, then she looked away sadly. Her gaze fell on her brother, who was staring at his hand, and refusing to meet her eyes.

"Why... Valkyire...?" she sobbed softly.

She glanced at Desolace, her eyes sparkling with tears. She felt so bad that she'd been used to get him here.

//Valkyire...! If anything happens to him, you're going to regret this!//

[Valkyire]

//I already do...// Valkyire thought to himself so Lucifel couldn't hear him. He looked up to watch Novak.

[Vincent Novak]

He pulled the last knot tight and jumped down into the Arena as he smirked.

"Sorry we had to meet like this "Terror of Death". But it seems this was the only way to get you here. Now here at the terms of..."

[Desolace]

"Take your Terms and shove them!" He yelled as he reached behind him and pulled the massive greatsword off of his back. His eyes turned a deep blood red as the dust on the area floor began to swirl around him. His hair slowly began to sway in the slight breeze swirling him as his eyes focused intensly on Novak.

"Your Death is Assured. YOUR LIFE ENDS HERE! TONIGHT! BY ME, THE TERROR OF DEATH!"

Desolace yelled as he Charged Novak. Once he was with-in 3 feet Desolace Vanished and re-appeared over Novak Swinging the massive sword down towards Novaks head.

[Vincent Novak]

Novak quickly drew his rapier and held it up, Blocking Desolace's sword. Novaks eyes focused on the boy as Desolaces body seemed to hang there forever. Novak Quickly swung the Rapier hard to the left throwing Desolace's Body agianst the Arena Wall.

"Listen, You either Surrender, to me or risk Lucifel being Injured. Because if you fight me, I'll kill you, then harm her. I believe a scar down her face to remember how stuborn you are."

He knew he wasnt going to harm the girl no matter the outcome. She was only bait, and to this point, she was doing her job.

[Desolace]

His body hit the wall hard, He let out a scream in pain as he laid there and heard the terms of the fight. The Massive great sword laid feet from him as he coughed slightly. He began to push himself up off the ground as his eyes switched between Novak and the Lucifel. Tears began to biuld under his eyes as he remembered what she had said a few nights before.

"I don't care what happens to me, as long as I get to know you, just like I didn't care about leaving home as long as I could stay by my brother's side... so if getting closer to you means something might happen to me, I'm willing to accept the consequences of my actions."

"If getting closer to you means something might happen to me, I'm willing to accept the consequences of my actions." He said as he looked at her.

"It looks like we are fighting to the death then Novak." He smirked as blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth. He began to move towards his Greatsword Smirking at Novak.

"Unknown where the Cursed Sound was born. After the stars doth cross the heavens, The sky in the East doth darken and air doth fill with mourning. From the chosen land beyond the forest, a sign of the sound comes.
Riding the sound is Desolace, the Terror of Death, to destroy all that stands."

Desolace said as he stomped on the tip of the blade as the blade stood straight up. He quickly grabbed it and pointed the tip at Novak.

"You Wont win, I'll kill you and Save Lucifel!" He yelled.

[Lucifel]

Lucifel looked down, watching the two below her. This was all her fault, if she hadn't been so insistant on becoming Desolace's friend, he wouldn't have been tricked like this. Though, she knew this would have eventually happened, the two of them fighting, but still...

She wanted to call out and say something, but she could only stare, feeling betrayed by her brother, and feeling the lump of guilt and worry weighing heavily in her heart.

Her eyes widened as she listened to Desolace. Her heart began to pound in her chest as she saw him stand up again. As he looked at her, she smiled softly.

Whatever happened now, she was glad she'd made friend's with Desolace.

[Desolace]

The dirt and Dust began to swirl around his feet once agian as he shoved the tip of the blade into the ground. His body began to emit something that looked like a black mist. His Aura was growing and it was a dark presence. His Eyes began to glow a bright red as he muscles began to tense up and ripple under his skin.

"This is what happens Novak! When you are born to the two most powerful people in your village!" Desolace yelled as His body vanished and reapeared Behind Novak. He shoved his knee into the small of Novak back sending the man air born. His rapier falling to the ground as Desolace kneeled and jumped up into the air after him.

"You think your life will end quickly? Your Sadly Mistaken! I'll make your demise slow and PAINFUL!" Desolace yelled as he reached Novak. He grabbed Novaks Foot and Swung the man hard down towards the ground. Into the same section of wall the Desolace was sent flying into.

[Vincent Novak]

Novaks body hit the wall with a sickening thud as he fell to the ground. His Glasses were broke, and his body didnt feel to good either.

"Damn, what the Hell is that boy! They never said his Chakra was this powerful!" Novak said to himself as he pushed himself back up. His life was in danger now. He didnt want it to get to this point. desolace was pissed, and he was reciting the "epitaph of Kurosaki", His parents poem.

"With every verse, he is going to gain more power. Each Verse opens a Chakra Gate, and if all 8 are opened..."

He quickly ran back to his rapier as he yelled. "You'll Destroy the whole area if you finish that poem Desolace!"

He quickly Reached his rapier and threw it up to block.

[Desolace]

He seemed to Levitate in the air as he watched the man scramble for his life. He smirked wickedly as he quickly preformed a flip and began to rocket towards Novak. The Massive sword in hand and ready to swing.

"Mirage of Deceit, Innis, Betray all with the flawed image, and did aid the Sound."

Desolace yelled as he Reached Novak and swung the massive blade. There was a loud crash as Novaks Block held the blade back as His Aura continued to grow.

"Whats Wrong Novak, You dont like the term I selected? How bout I give you a term and you just agree to it!" Desolace yelled as he Swung his left hand across. Nailing Novak in the side of the face. Sending the man backwards.

Desolaces feet touched the ground as he continued to smirk wickedly. He brought the sword behind him and quickly began to run after Novak.
