DragonFire: Xastra? Who's is that? And Maya, please don't underestimate me, okay? I did, and look where it got me? I... Nevermind, anyways look. We will get free, trust me *smiles at Maya*

DragonFire: Hm? *follows her* So, can you gimme a summary on this guy before I kick his butt? I wanna know everything about my enemy before I face it.... *looks at Maya* So, what do you know about him?

(OOC: I know you're excited to be in the RPG again, Juno, but my dinner still takes precedence over my characters. And Juno, the barrier was around the tower only, not the entire island.)

R.D. didn't even look at Vagabond when he appeared. He did, however, get struck by the wave of dark energy, but it didn't do much damage. He took the opportunity and sent his foot upwards at Kalmar, roaring angrily.

===Within Xobelisk===

"The master of shadows has arrived. Deal with any and all minions he sends out," Ziatoch ordered. He then stood up.

"I will deal with Donovan myself."

And within the blink of an eye, He disappeared.

===On Shayol Ghul===

Ziatoch appeared on Donovan's shoulder, leaning up against the Beast's head.

He had the form of a tall, powerfully-built man, with large muscles and dark tanned skin. A light tan fur covered His arms and upper torso. He wore baggy black trousers, which were wrapped to His ankles by dark gold cloth. A gold sash was wrapped around His waist, and he wore a dark teal vest with flaring red hems and shoulders. His wrists were adorned by two dark red wristbands, and He wore soft black shoes on His feet. His face held the expression of a carefree, relaxed man, but His white hair was long and wild, and His eyes glowed yellow.

"Why should I?" he said to Donovan in a confident voice.

"I think you'd be hard-pressed to accomplish that, Donovan," Ziatoch said, "You had no guards around it and no visible claim. It was free game, and had I not had to retrieved, one of your enemies would've taken it."

Ziatoch suddenly laughed and stood up straight, pushing himself off of Donovan's head. "But I guess you consider Me to be one of your enemies, don't you?" He asked mockingly. "No, I think not, Donovan. I would suggest you leave. You may try to bring down My fortress, but even if you somehow succeed, I could just as easily sacrifice another continent to remake one. Perhaps I'd even use Europe."

The Destroyer floated off of Donovan's shoulder and glided backwards, allowing Donovan to see His current form finally.

"You may leave now. Our business has concluded."

Kalmar was struck by RD's foot, which sent him into a backflip. He landed on the ground, hard. He stood up slowly, favoring his left knee slightly with a grim set to his face.

"I crave freedom," he yelled loudly, lifting the greatsword over his head to hurl it at RD, jumping backwards to avoid being sliced by his own blade, "And I just want to go home!"

----Xobelisk----

Daemonus turned sharply as Ziatoch disappeared from the throne room, "Diablo, Re-Tuul, send your troops in a thorough search of Xobelisk. Send them in squads of no less then twenty, and do not forget," he growled threateningly, his deep voice booming off of the throne room walls, "if anything is missed, it will be either of your heads."

With that Daemonus turned and strode between them down the hall to stand on a balcony, watching his master and Donovan.

DragonFire: Sorry Maya, I don't know. As for fearing him, I do not... I fear no being.... I will face him, and I swear I will beat him and free us both.... I promise you, you will be free soon. *smiles*

R.D. shot forward again, appearing in front of Kalmar and launching an uppercut at Kalmar using the Godhand. It had enough force to send him flying upwards into the air.

===At Shayol Ghul===

Ziatoch looked at the approaching beams calmly. As they neared Him, the started to dissolve, particles of shadow breaking off only to be absorbed into His body. He absorbed the entire attack, then looked back at Donovan.

"Was that your best?" he asked, not unkindly. "If it was, I pity you. You would need much more than that if you wanted to even harm me."

A smirk grew on his face.

"But no, I will not die, Donovan. You can't kill that which is Eternal."

DragonFire: Most powerful race huh? Sorry, not true.. I know that for a fact.... *he decides to return to his human-looking form* I know for a fact that the Saiyans are the most powerful, they are a warrior race that are virtually unstoppable, though I do know two of my Saiyan friends were killed, but by their own stupidity, how do I know the Saiyans are stronger? *he looks at Maya* I'm one of them.... I'll use my Saiyan powers to defeat this demon... If that doesn't work, I'll combine it with my Dragon powers... But you can be sure we will get free. I promise

Kalmar was launched into the air as the wind was knocked out of his lungs from RD's Godhand attack.

----Xobelisk----

Daemonus watched Ziatoch easily absorb Donovan's attacks.

Fool, he thought, watching Donovan attempt to attack his master again, he has no idea.

R.D. blasted off the ground, striking at Kalmar as he passed. He disappeared, then reappeared on top of a building and shot at Kalmar again, striking once more as he passed. He repeated the attack once more, then appeared in the air and descended rapidly at Kalmar, interlocking his hands together into fists and striking at Kalmar with a hammerblow that'd send him hurtling down to the street.

===At Xobelisk===

Re-Tuul grimaced, but complied with the order, and disappeared in a flash of orange light. Diablo scowled underneath his cloak. "Nothing can get past the Master's barrier. I do not see the need for patrols within Xobelisk. It is outside we should be worrying about."

Nevertheless, Diablo left the Throneroom and began giving minions orders to patrol, then went to his own chambers, in case any of Donovan's would-be champions paid him a visit.

===At Shayol Ghul===

Ziatoch raised a hand and snapped His fingers. A tiny pinpoint of light formed, then lashed out with a beam that traveled from side to side, slicing the shadow orb in half. The two halves collapsed on themselves, then sizzled away in a flash of light.

"It is not just the darkness that I hold mastery over, Donovan," Ziatoch said calmly. The Destroyer crossed His arms and looked at Donovan, cocking His head to the side. "You really have no idea who I am, do you?" He asked.

DragonFire: Up there huh? *looks up* Alright.. *grabs Maya and flies up to the top and sets her down gently* Okay, so, how to get in... A sneak attack would be perfect...

DragonFire: He can hear us huh? *looks up* THEN HEAR THIS YA FREAK!!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU AND SET US FREE!!! I WILL SAVE THE WORLD YET AGAIN!!! YOU CAN'T STOP ME!!!! *looks at Maya* Ready to go inside? I promise I'll keep you safe.

DragonFire: I won't let him destroy you, besides, I don't plan on climbing, I prefer flying... So what do you say? I can't just leave you here... Heroes like myself don't do that... *says under his breath: Then again heroes don't sell their souls to evil beings just to get more power....*

DragonFire: Maya, one thing I wanna tell you... This is your body, he can't control it, you can, don't let him push you around, you can do anything if you set your mind to it... Don't let him control you any longer.... Trust me... You can fight this....

DragonFire: But it's still your body, whether or not we are in his soul does not matter, you can still fight back... Trust me on this...I've had experience... You've got to try... Inside your body, you are the ruler, this freak can't take that away from you...In your body, you are stronger than anything because you can do what you wish.....

"Now why would I want to do that?" Ziatoch said, "After all, should I win the bet with your master, then you will belong to Me. Besides, I doubt very seriously you would want Me to use the Lance against you."

Ziatoch grinned slightly. "But if you'd like a measure, I can show you something rather familiar."

The Destroyer looked up at the sky and floated up until He was above Shayol Ghul and Donovan. He raised His left hand above Himself, and extended His index finger. A small ball of Gouka formed just above the finger, then shot upwards into space. It expanded rapidly, growing immensely. Quite soon, a Gouka-Taiyou had formed.

"Recognize the attack?" Ziatoch asked Donovan. "At any time, I can make it so that no kingdoms can survive, that everything you and your brethren have worked for the Child of the Dark amounts to nothing."

Ziatoch folded His legs Indian-style and sat in the air, His arms still crossed and His head cocked to the side. "So, what is it going to be, Donovan?"

"Well, well, well!"

In the improvised doorway of the smashed barrier, Matt now stood, his arms folded. "It's about time. Thanks for the assist, Vagabond."

"Can we kill him now?" Hugo asked, waving his pickaxe.

"Yep!"

Hugo laughed. "I love my job."

DragonFire: Hmph. Alright whatever you are, I demand you leave Maya's body this insant!! you have no business being here!!! Come out from your little hiding place!!! SHOW YOURSELF!!! *he powers up and transforms into a Super Saiyan*

SSJDragonFire: SHOW YOURSELF NOW!!!!
