ZetsumeiRyu: Well? Can I join or not? *he looks at the group* Please?

Meta raised her brow. "What? Are you scared? Pissing your little panties, are you?" She looked at the large shadow creature. "And you too, big boy." She looked around at the armies. "If you think yourself a weakling, fine, I challenge all of those in charge here all at once. But where are my manners, I must first introduce myself." She smirked. "Hi, I am Impending Doom, nice to meet you, what are your names?"

Blazen looked to see their foe dissapear. He sighed and slid down the side of the building. He slowly went back to his base form. His head was hung as his knees were bent. He was relieved to be alive, but defeating one of the seven would have been great.

Kalmar glanced back also, sighing with relief at seeing one of the seven disappear, leaving them alive.

He slowly knelt, bowing his head in weariness.

What's a guy gotta do to catch a break, he thought tiredly. The fire surrounding him was gone now, his arm slowly shrinking yet still retaining an almost awkward bulkiness.

He turned his head to look at Blazen, slumped against a wall, "So, what brings you to Italy?"

Kalmar shook his head slightly, turning to rest his back against the building a short distance from Blazen.

"From the look of you, your not here on vacation.."

Blazen laughed. He then looked over to Kalmar. "I swam here because I mesteriously woke up in the water near by." He shrugged.

Kalmar chuckled, "That seems like an interesting start to a very interesting story." He looked into the sky, watching clouds pass lazyily overhead.

He sighed aloud, moving his head to pop his neck.

"I'll trade you your story for mine," he chuckled, looking over at Blazen briefly before returning his gaze to the sky.

"Sold." Blazen responded looking forward at the ruble left from the fight. He assumed Kalmar would want to know more of Blazen after he spoke, so he was ready to tell as much of himself as he felt needed.

A faint smile touched Kalmar's lips as his mind wandered back through the haunted halls of his memories.

"Well, I used to live in Southern America, in a moderately sized Temple. I was young, and married a red-headed necromancer, only to discover she was.. insane."

He chuckled darkly, "She's the reason i'm like this.. ya know? She poisoned me one night at dinner.. concoted a potion that would bring the soul of a powerful demon inside of me."

I think it was a Za-Fuzen.. he thought absently.

"So, after that I escaped, and began wandering North through some heavy swamps.. I was out Demon Hunting, to keep my mind off of her. When suddenly, this floating figure appears in an orange puff of smoke, and tells me that the cure lies with this boy."

"Problem is, I would have to kill him.. and that didn't work out so well. So, I teleported here, trying to find another way, but now it seems that trouble is everywhere."

He finished the abridged version of his story, sighing as he glanced down at his arm.

"The only way I can fully manifest my power is if I let my 'inner demon' come out.. so to speak."

He looked over to Blazen, "That's about it for me.."

Blazen nodded. "My story is no fairy tale with a happy ending either. No..." He paused for a moment then started. "As you know, I am Blazen, the God of Fire. I used to live in heaven. I had siblings...several. Gaia, God of Earth, Eva, my twin, Goddess of Water, Kyo God of Lightning, Sakura Goddess of Wind, Solomb God of the Dead, Frost God of Ice, Zelda Goddess of Light, and lastly...Kaizer God of Darkness. He was the black sheep one could say. My father God and my 'mother' Mary." He looked up into the sky.

"I lived in Heaven my entire life. Though on the darkest of all days...it happened. My 'mother' Mary was found, killed. I was enraged to learn of this and well...went a little crazy. I destroyed half of heaven's population in a single night. My Father, God, cast me to a lifetime on Earth."

"While I was here I had foughten in many of battles, some great...others tragic. Edventually I had found out that my real mother was Lucifer, wife of Satan. I had two more siblings along with it. My brother Hades, and my sister Pyra. Where they are now, I do not know. I hope safe with my former guardians, Black and White."

"I do not remember much before I released them to protect my family in hell. Not much at all. Infact...if I didn't know any better. The sequence would go from me releasing them to me waking up in the water, to now." Blazen shrugged. "That's all on my part."

Kalmar looked at the boy as he retold his story, running his left hand through his platinum streaked hair.

"That's quite a story, Blazen. Certainly you have seen and done things I could only dream of." He shook his head in wonder, "So, I am in the presence of one of great power."

"I too hope your family is safe," he spoke quietly, changing the subject, "for you, and for my safety."

He laughed weakly at his bad joke, "So, what is your plan now?"

"I haven't one to be honest. Even if I did have one, I doubt it would be a grand one. I'm not one with plans." Blazen admitted. He sighed and looked back down to the ground. He did wonder where his family could be, only god knows. He took some time to think on any plans.

"Hmm.. yeah, me either. My plans always seemed to have holes in them anyways."

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully, staring hard at the ground before letting his gaze roam to the sky again.

(OOC: Uhm, excuse me, Juno? Isn't there something you're forgetting?)

ZetsumeiuRyu: Hmmm... *he looks over and notices a few evil beings approach, he then fires a blast of Gouka at them, incinerating them completely* You guys need to watch your backs... I will do anything to get my old self back... I will kill that freak myself if I must... If you truly do not trust me, then I will fight alone.... *he heads for the castle* Good bye....

----China----

A cloaked figure slowly made her way through the dark halls of Maya's castle. So, this is what it feels like to have everything, she thought with a mix of bitterness and envy.

She opened a door and saw a girl. She calmly walked up to her, and did a very peculiar thing. She kneeled.

"I have come long and far to seek power, I require it to kill a man." She spoke quickly, never taking her eyes off of the floor.

"If you could grant me such powers, I will swear fealty to you for the rest of my days."

With that she looked up, her red hair spilling from beneath her cloak's hood.

*ZetsumeiRyu looks back at Juno*

ZetsumeiRyu: Juno, please trust me... If you trust me then follow me... *continues walking*

The woman looked up, and smiled. The hood fell back from her face, revealing her piercing green eyes.

"My name is Quinlynn, and I am an alchemist, and a Necromancer. The man I wish to kill is my husb.. my ex-husband."

Her smile grew colder, "My pet seems to escape my grasp, and I wish to.. retrieve him. Alive or dead, I do not care."

*ZetsumeiRyu sees the being*

ZetsumeiRyu: Uh.. Hi... I'm a bit busy.. I need to get my old self back and it seems I have to do it alone.. So if you'll excuse me... *bows and walks away*

*ZetsumeiRyu looks back and walks to Juno*

ZetsumeiRyu: Yes? what is it Juno? Have to decided to help me? Please tell me you will... I seriously wish to return to normal as DragonFire....

(OOC: I was talking about the PM, actually.)

Quinlynn quickly grabbed the goblet and held it in front of her. "Wine of Gods.. never age? Sold."

With that, she drank it quickly, bowing her head slightly to wipe her mouth as she extended the goblet back to.. her master.

"Who needs a soul anyways," she chuckled aloud, "when i'm going to be deadly and beautiful forever?"

Her smile was as cold as ice, her piercing green eyes staring straight ahead, as though through Xastra.

(OOC: DragonFire, could you please answer the PM I send to you?)

Meta glared at Cora. "Why should I? Just because a slutty low-life like you tells me to do so?" She looked at the large shadow creature. "Just because a macho half-man who tries to overcompensate something by commanding armies?"
When Xastra reached out to her via dark-linking, she was a bit shocked, she hadn't known of this. She ignored it, not really knowing what to do with it.

(OOC: Alasea would totally agree with Meta right there. XD)

(OOC: Yeah, huh? XD I hope for RD and Juno that Alasea doesn't feel too agreeable with Meta. XP)

ZetsumeiRyu: What is it Juno? *stands before Juno* Hm? Are you letting me join you?
