(OOC: Uhm...Morphy... Are you feeling okay? 0_o)

"Go!" Draco ordered, and the other 229 shadow-creatures charged at Matthew and the others, seeking to kill all but R.D. "If they do somehow manage to kill my soldiers...perhaps we have underestimated them." He said as he watched his soldiers enter into battle.

~USA~

Carnax did nothing to avoid the attack, nor to block it. He let the attack hit, though it seemed to do little to no damage. "Five moves left, little one." He stated, and waited for the next attacks.

(OOC: Uhm...yes... They turned into shadows. Also, I thought he blasted the 70)

The 229 creatures charged in, and started attacking the group. Most of them went for Matthew, then Alasea, and lastly Hsien-Ko & Hugo. Their plan was simple--kill the allies, and take R.D.

~USA~

"Four moves remaining." Carnax said plainly as he looked down at the two Dragoons.

~With Ryan~

"Uhm... I think he beat you to it." Dokuro said with a grin.

Ryan Thresh had already flown up to the top of the temple, and saw a hatch that lead inside. "Morphman, Dokuro, I found a way in!" He shouted to them from up top the temple.

"Right." Ryan said with a nod. He waited for Dokuro to get to the top, which didn't take long, and took him aside. They walked far enough away to where Morphman could not hear them whisper. "What are you up to, Dokuro?" Ryan asked.
"I think we are plotting the same thing, Reckoning. Aren't we?" Dokuro replied.
"Just answer me straight. What's your plot?" Thresh urdged.
"We cannot speak here. Not now." Said Dokuro.
"Very well. Later, than." Ryan said, and then walked inside the temple.
Dokuro soon followed, and the 2 men waited for Morph to lead.

~USA~

The attacks had no effect, and Carnax actually had to search for them just to see if they had hit him. "Three moves left...use them wisely." He said with apathy.

~With Draco~

Draco watched as a fair number of shadow-creatures were defeated. He didn't seem to mind much, and just watched. So, this is the power of the Rising Dragon? Unimpressive. He thought to himself.

(OOC: No. I edited it Sometimes my hands can't move fast enough to keep up with my mind)

Dokuro went to shine some light, though it would be pure necromancer energy it would work. Ryan quickly stopped him, believing Morphman would think them villains if he saw the energy. Instead, Ryan summoned a large green flame to his left hand, shining some light throughout the temple.

Ryan and Dokuro followed Morphman closely, and glanced around the temple. Wanting to see more, Ryan changed the flame from a green fire, to a regular flame. He looked about, and then to the compus Morph held. Hm. Wonder if we're getting closer. He thought.

"Something's not right. I can tell." Said Ryan. "You're uneasy about it." He added. "Why is that?" He asked plainly.
Dokuro payed little attention, and just smiled at a wall.

Ryan stared intensely down the stairs, and then said: "Something's down there."
Dokuro turned to his comrade, and then looked down the stairs. "I feel it, too." He added. "It feels...somewhat familiar."
"Hm." Ryan let out while nodding.

Ryan placed his non-flame bearing hand on Morphman, stopping him. "Hold on."
Dokuro looked to Ryan, wondering what he was doing.
"Maybe I should go down to check it out first." He paused for no more than 2-seconds. "Y'Know, just to make sure it's safe. Or at least make it safe."

Ryan didn't like the idea of Dokuro having to use his powers, but whatever. Ryan ignited himself with green flames, and flew down the stairs. He glanced around once reaching the end, but saw nothing. "Hm..." He changed the fire from green, to a regular flame. He could now see dozens of shadow demons all throughout the rather large room.

Dokuro made a small, green sphere of necromancer energy in his palm once Ryan had left. He sat down, and just waited to hear something, anything from Ryan.

"Holy..." Ryan said with widened eyes as he looked around him.
The demons snarled, and growled at Ryan, not welcoming his presence.
"Well, this'll be interesting." Ryan said and then shot the fire off of him at various shadow demons. He landed on the floor, and then shot 2 large infernoes in opposite directions from his palms at the fiends. He killed a few with ease, but more took their place. "Shoot." He said quietly.
Shadow demons charged at Thresh, and tried to gut him like a fish. Luckily, Ryan was quicker, and managed to kick and/or punch them into the walls. "Dokuro!" He called.

Dokuro pirked up at the sound of Ryan's voice. He set the sphere on the floor, and then ran off down the stairs. When he reached the end, he saw Ryan fighting dozens of shadow demons. However, the next thing he saw were bones scattered about. "Sweet." He said slyly, and then shot a green colored beam at some bones. He orgonized the bones to make 2 skeletons, and then brought them to life. "Go my pets! Destroy the fiends!" Dokuro ordered with an insane joy.
The skeletons charged into battle, and Dokuro swiftly joined Ryan in combat.

A green, glowing mist started to emenate from the sphere Dokuro had left behind when Morphman neared it. The mist was like a form of defence. It would quickly eat away at Morph's mand until there was nothing but bone, unless he moved away from it, of course.

Dokuro & Ryan slaughtered any demons that came near them, and really any that they could see. The area had been dimly lit by multiple fires that had been cause by Ryan's attacks.

After a couple minutes, Mr. Thresh & Dokuro were back to back, and at Dokuro's feet was a pile of bones. "What're ya gonna do with that?" Ryan asked as he glanced at the pile for a second.
"You shall find out, my friend." Dokuro replied as he shined a couple thin beams of green light upon some of the bones.
"Okay." Ryan said, and then fired off a few more fireballs at his foes.

Dokuro lifted some of the bones to his hand, and made a type of boomarang charged with necromancer energy. "Boomarang Bone!" he shouted as he threw the boomarang at the demons. the weapon worked rather well, and killed 3 demons going and coming back.
Ryan continued to shoot the fiends with his fireballs, but they kept on coming.

Meanwhile, Dokuro's skeletons were fighting the shadow demons as well, and doing a rather good job.

Ryan was getting annoyed, and when one of the demons rushed at him, he'd had it. "Feel the power of a true dark warrior!" He exclaimed and then shot an inferno of Gouka at the oncoming demon, and redirected it to kill many others.
Dokuro rapidly fired Boomarang Bones 2 at a time, and all of them hit each other on the way back. "And the head." He said as he threw a skull at the boomarangs, which landed firmly on the shoulders that had been made. It seemed that Dokuro had created yet another 'pet', and equipped it with a pair of tamahawk made of necromancer energy. The skeleton came to life, and quickly finished off the rest of the shadow demons with the help of the other 2 skeletons.

Ryan & Dokuro turned to face each other, and smiled. "Well done, comrade." Ryan said with glee.
"Same to you." Dokuro replied, and then allowed his skeletons to die.
Ryan walked to the stairs, and shouted for Morph to come down. "Morphman, you can come on down!"

"Good idea." Ryan said.
"A grand idea." Dokuro said with his mad-man smile, as if correcting Ryan.
Ryan looked at Dokuro, lifted a brow, and blinked twice. "Rriight." He said and then turned to Morphman. "So, where to?"

Ryan moved his head back a bit when Morph's finger nearly went up it when he pointed.
"Interesting path." Dokuro said, rubbing his chin. "But, how will we fit?" He asked while making a puzzled gesture with his hands.
"You had to make a joke, didn't ya?" Ryan asked as he turned his gaze to Dokuro.
"Absolutely." Dokuro replied with an impish grin.

Ryan moved aside to let Morphman lead the way, thus standing just a few inches away from Dokuro. "Think it's close?" Ryan asked.
