To End it All *join if you've rp'd with Maureth*

[yemet]

((okay, maureth still doesn't have internet and he currently isn't even in state, so he sent me a huge text about what he wants to happen. So, I WILL be posting for Maureth/Zaleth for the time being under my Yemet account. This post is just a huge one describing what would have happened even if we had seperate accounts. I hope everyone understands!))

Yemet glanced over at the warriors beside him. Zaleth had recovered thanks to the efforts of Dante and Rheo and was up to the task of fighting. He glanced to his right and spotted Rheo in the most serious stance he had ever seen him in. Maureth stood ahead of them all at the shore line. Yemet furrowed his brow, knowing this battle was going to get vicious very quickly.

"My brother must be stopped. He has ruined my life and has ruined many others, just for the sake of power. I do apologize for all my insanity... But this... He must die." Maureth announced. Yemet, Rheo, and Zaleth all said something in agreement. Hopefully the four of them would be enough to take him on.

As if on cue, a black orb started to materialize in midair. Yemet drew his blade and activated his seals for drawing power from nature as well as steel skin and increased power and speed. Rheo drew his blade and got a few Rau spells ready. Zaleth drew his blade and his spear, preparing to use his amazing skills to try and end this quickly. Out of the group, Rheo was the only one who hadn't fought against Maureth's brother. But if Maureth was no match for him, then he knew that his help would be needed for this battle. Maureth just stood with his arms crossed, his eyes fully activated. They were now a full 'asterisk' shape, giving him a large amount of power.

The orb slowly solidified, and after it became complete it started to tear itself apart. Inside, wrapped in a ball, was Maureth's brother. Slowly, he uncurled himself and floated in midair. His eyes were closed. "Time to settle this, 'brother'." He said. Maureth visibly shook with anger, summoning a sword in his right hand.

"Today is the day you draw your last breath brother!" Maureth screamed. Then he charged. Maureth's brother smiled faintly, then teleported out of the way of Maureth's blade. Maureth followed immediately, appearing near where his brother reappeared. Which happened to be directly in front of Yemet. Yemet responded immediately, and soon he and Maureth were both slicing and dicing with his brother. It was frustrating, watching him dodge every blow effortlessly. Zaleth joined in, and still the same thing happened. Rheo hung back, reluctant to join in such a crowded fight. Yemet clenched his teeth and backed away at Zaleth's signal. Zaleth and Maureth backed up, then Zaleth activated his full power. In a flurry of magic and physical attacks, Zaleth unleashed an onslaught of attacks on Maureth's brother. Yemet watched in awe as the man still dodged every single blow... Then landed one of his own. Zaleth curled over, clenching his stomach as the man's elbow found his solar plexes. Then Zaleth's chin caught a massive knee, sending him flying into the air. Maureth teleported up and stopped his flight, then lowered him to the earth. He was woozy and out of it, and out of the fight for a bit. Yemet started to say something. Then he felt the hand around his throat. Coughing, he looked down at Maureth's brother.

"This technique is banned in my lands... One loses their mind, the other loses their eyesight. The eternal Regega." Without uttering a word, Yemet immediately lost consciousness.

*as Rheo now.*

Rheo struck at the opportune time, and was satisfied with the sound of a sword cutting flesh. Maureth's brother dropped the limp Yemet to the ground and turned on Rheo. His left eye was as white as a cloud, but his right one was still normal. Was he blind in one eye? Rheo focused on the man, and after a few seconds of blocking vicious blows Maureth joined in. His brother laughed, then sent them both flying back with a burst of energy. Rheo landed hard, creating a canal in the earth with the force of his body hitting the ground and sliding.

He glanced up at the man. "And now, the other forbidden technique. The one that causes infinite destruction and immediate sorrow, the technique used one-thousand years ago that has still rendered the land unusable in the Ganra Desert. People die when they go in there, they die of a terrible illness. And now, Avaleur will share the same fate. Herata." He said.

"NO!!!" Maureth screamed in anguish. A glow started to appear around the man, and then it expanded outwards. Everywhere it touched, plants died and water turned foul. Rheo bit his lip in frustration. Then, Zaleth appeared directly in front of him.

'That is where you are wrong. I will not let you do this!" He said. With a grunt, Zaleth sucked all of the poison into a ball of diamond he had managed to summon. After a few seconds, it was all gone and sealed, and Zaleth was exhausted. Rheo was about to celebrate when he saw the hand erupt through Zaleth's chest. Blood spattered the ground below him, and his face started to go pale like the very life was getting sucked out of him. The man dropped Zaleth to the ground in a lifeless heap. He laughed and opened his eyes, both of which were back to normal.

"And a soul forcefully taken to restore the broken eyes of a weary warrior." He said, looking down at the two remaining warriors. "Let's see if you can still win!" He said. Then, he summoned ten-thousand claymores, and sent them all hurtling towards the two warriors on the ground.

Kamieo watched in silence from a distance. This chance that his pupil Maureth had did not come often. He had an opportunity to show him how good he really was. This was one of the times that he was trying to prepare his student for, now only to see if he had been worth his time.

[rheo]

Rheo swore as the claymores descended upon him and Maureth. In a hurry, Rheo threw up a large shield of Rau to protect them both. The swords bounced harmlessly off of the front of the shield for what seemed like an eternity. Maureth stayed silent, concentrating.

"He's only used two of the five... Gods, let us hope he uses no more." He said. He looked at Rheo, a scowl on his face. "Think you can hold him off for a bit? If you can, I may be able to hit him with a Dauphon attack." He said. Rheo laughed at this.

"Hold him off? Are you nuts? He just killed Zaleth without trying and put Yemet out like a light by looking at him. What do you expect me to do to hold him off?" He asked. Maureth looked down in concentration, then sighed.

"Whatever this shit is-" he said, referring to the Rau, "-it can withstand a barrage of claymores for a long period of time. You're telling me that you can't hold him off with this shit for thirty seconds?" He asked. Rheo furrowed his brow and swore.

"I suppose, but if I die so do you. You know that, right?" Maureth laughed at this.

"Then don't die." He said. At that moment, the swords stopped pelting the shield. Rheo took a deep breath and lowered it, immediately casting some earth and wind Rau at the warrior who was whipping their ass. He lept into the air, sword drawn, and attacked him while using Rau to hit him from all sides. The man blocked every sword blow with a dagger of his own while simultaneously blocking the Rau with his other arm and small bursts of energy. His skill was phenomenal! Rheo lasted about twenty seconds before he started to realize he was doomed to fail. The man caught his arm and twisted around behind Rheo. Rheo felt the dagger drive into his back, right below the ribcage on his left side. Rheo coughed up some blood and threw an elbow back at the man, who teleported out of the way. Then, four pillars of a black substance drove through the man, and he exploded soon afterwards. Gore spattered Rheo, who was smiling.

"Did we do it?!" He screamed. Maureth stood, smiling. Then his brother kicked him in the side of the head, sending him careening off to the side and into the water. Maureth started sinking under the water. Rheo clenched his teeth and took off into the ocean. The dagger was still in his back, but as long as it stayed there he wouldn't bleed out. Rheo grabbed Maureth, who was unconscious, and lifted him out of the ocean and into the air. He looked up, furious, at the warrior who stood with his arms crossed and his back turned to them. He wasn't even trying! Rheo wiped the blood away from his mouth and set Maureth on the sand, then stood with his sword at the ready. "I'm not through with you." He said calmly.

"I believe you are, Rheo. He is unconscious and you're wounded badly. There is only one here right now worth fighting." With that, he teleported away and reappeared directly above the old man hiding and watching the battle. "Fight me, old man." He said calmly.

Roe had felt the disturbance a mile away at the shoreline, and had immediately headed over to see what was going on. There were rotted plants and foul water everywhere, but what really caught his attention was the body of a warrior and the body of Yemet lying on the sand, and a couple more warriors near the shoreline. One had a dagger in his back, and then there was another man who was picking on an old man! Albeit, a well disguised old man, but an old man nonetheless. Roe sprinted up and stood in front of the man. "Fight me, coward!" He screamed. Roe lunged out and started fighting the man. He dodged and blocked every one of Roe's blows, something that never happened. But Roe was old, very old, and knew certain things about combat. Within thirty seconds, he had the dodge and block patterns down on this warrior.

Roe changed his style of attack slightly to outdo him, and managed to land a single blow right under the man's right armpit. His arm most likely had gone numb, but he was still using it. Roe smiled, keeping up the assault for three minutes. He didn't land another blow, but the man had his brow furrowed in concentration. Roe pushed harder, then felt three ribs on his left side break from the force of a strong kick. Roe hit the sand hard, coughing up blood as on of the shattered ribs punctured a lung. There were two of the men floating above him! The one he managed to hit disappeared, and the other one smiled.

"Nobody knows my clones from me except me. Don't think you can win because you have more experience, for I have more reasons." He said.

[Deleted]

Kamieo shook his head judmentally. He walked past Reo with a disgusted look. "If you are going to be so eager to jump in a battle for me I would appreciate it if you didn't spit on my honor like that."

All these fighters frustrated him! Even his student who obviously should have listened more and been less egotistical, then there was this crazy elf just trying to take his invite to a fight and that is how he fills in for him? It was clear none of these people had real exposure to killing someone power, or even fighting one for that matter.

[Deleted]

Roe stood and spit out some blood. "Shut it old man." He said harshly. Then he drew his blade, indicating his seriousness. "I have drawn my blade two hundred and forty seven times my entire life. Two hundred and forty seven times in twenty thousand years. Feel honored." He said. With that, Roe delved deep inside himself and wrenched the inner warrior inside of him to the surface. Immediately, his hair disintegrated into a short buzz cut version of it, he got more muscle mass and he grew three inches. His body healed itself completely in this new form, because it was essentially a new body. His combat suit was revealed after he took off his coat, and there were twenty two blades underneath that hadn't been there before, each with a different power and function. Roe had his eyes closed this entire time, but opened them now. They had been a blood red color, but now they constantly swirled between blood red and a black darker than the night sky.

Roe attacked again, this time it took him less than fifteen seconds to overpower the clone the man had summoned again. Roe then turned his attention on the real one. He attacked ferociously, attacking with motions so fluid that it appeared as if each separate move was just one continuous motion. The man dodged all of the blade strikes but a few of the kicks landed giving him some injuries. Roe, in the middle of a combination attack, drew a second blade that had slight control over wind.

Without even coming close to the man, each sword slash was extended another foot in length with a high amount of air pressure that made the air itself as sharp as a blade. The man backed away with a few cuts. "Well well well, it looks like there is another worth fighting..." He said. Then, he closed his eyes and focused. When he opened them three seconds later, they had a second circle in them and the back of his clothing blew away. On his back were two wings, both gray but a bit on the dark side. "The third of five, a way to even the odds in physical combat: Kothra." The man renewed his attack and soon put Roe on the defensive. After another few minutes he grabbed Roe by the throat and slammed him into the ground. Immediately after that he teleported faster than anybody Roe had seen and appeared in front of the old man, cutting the tendon in his right forearm. Then he teleported away.

"Even with a new four on one, you cannot defeat me. This isn't worth it anymore, so I believe it is time to end this." He said. ((yes, i know exactly what he is planing to do. Yemet told me to do this and that so I did, and here we are!))

[Deleted]

Kamieo didn't feel the wound at all and simply smirked, the attack had propelled him further into an adaptive state than he would have thought would have taken careful planning and time. "Hmmm, all brawn no brains a see.... He can't even count." he chuckled at the idea of him ever bein on a team with those people. Even his student he no longer considered on the same side.

[rheo]

Rheo had healed both him and Maureth back to full health as Reo fought the man that now had wings. Rheo could feel the vibrations from his body as power surged outwards. This wasn't good. He looked over at Maureth as he staggered to his feet.

"Kothra... Shit. Stay out of the shadows for number four." He said. Then, he powered his eyes back up and nodded his head at Rheo. Both charged at once and started swinging and slashing at Maureth's brother. He dodged easily, his physical capabilities increased from Kothra to a point of near godliness. With a surge of power, he pushed them both back to where Roe was.

"Fuck! Hey, you two hold him off. I'm going to try and even the odds here." Rheo looked at Maureth as he said that.

"Can you use his techniques?" He asked, skeptical.

"Yes, but it is much easier for him because his eyes are a full four steps ahead of mine. In fact, that is really their only purpose. After my stage, it just makes it much, much easier to use those techniques. The fact he went blind in one eye after using that technique on Yemet means that Yemet won't be awaking anytime soon without help." he replied. "I need thirty seconds." He said. Both Reo and Rheo nodded, then renewed their attack on the man.

[Deleted]

Kamieo also join the battle, but instead attacked Rheo. With incredible speed he lunged for the mans throat.

[rheo]

Surprised, Rheo managed to get a shield of Rau up in time to block the mans blow. Alerted now, Rheo tackled the old man to the ground and rolled off of him in a defensive position. Almost unconsciously, he put a small shield of Rau up over his skin. It'd protect from all but the most destructive attacks. "What the hell is wrong with you?! Why're you attacking ME?!"

[Deleted]

The man quickly overpowered Roe, who was fighting alone now. Roe hit the ground, hard, and found his feet after staggering a bit. The old man had attacked and distracted Rheo, leaving Roe alone against this warrior.

"And now, you die." He said. Without so much as a clue, the man was gone and then reappeared directly in front of Roe. Roe drew one of his many blades and jumped back. This sword gave him twice as much speed as usual, which is exactly what he needed just to survive. There was no way he would be able to land one of his one hit blows on him. "I think not." He said. He managed to dodge around for a few more seconds, and then Maureth jumped in and drove his brother back.

"Here we go." He said, with grey wings sprouting out of his back. Roe joined in and the two matched his brother. Barely.

[Deleted]

This simple minded fool would understand that he was using him as a tool. Instead he just laughed and began to attack the man again, kicking and punching with what seemed to be horrible form and just random swings. Each hit got stronger and faster as the shield protected the man.

[rheo]

The man was faking. Rheo could tell immediately. Nobody who can catch him off guard like that, and fast to boot, was this bad of a fighter. Rheo waited for one of the man's punches, then sucked it into the Rau and surrounded his arm in it. No escaping the unbreakable substance, and Rheo took advantage of this.

"Why attack me?" He asked, watching as Maureth and Roe duked it out with Maureth's brother.

[Deleted]

Kamieo smiled. This was perfect! He pulled his arm and slowly the pull got stronger and stronger. If he kept this up he would be have enough strength and speed to destroy all three. "Why not? You are practice and preparation for the harder opponents." his body kept adapting to the strength of the Rau, his arm began to slide out as he became too strong for its hold. "If this substance is important to you I suggest you release me before I damage it." he smirked.

[Deleted]

Roe looked at Maureth. "When he's dead, we need to get outta here fast." He said. Maureth nodded. "I got it handled." He said. Roe looked up and grabbed Maureth's brother's arm and wrenched it around. He had managed to get behind him!

"Run him through!" Roe ordered. Maureth did so and ran his brother through the heart, running Roe through on the left side where his heart would be if he was human, but it is on his right as he is a blood elf. He winced from the pain, and uttered a sound of surprise when the man disintigrated into light without a word and was absorbed by Maureth. Maureth ignored this and grabbed Roe then teleported down and grabbed Yemet as well as Rheo, then teleported away to the outskirts of Avaleur.

"Rheo, if you would." Maureth said. His voice was deeper now

[rheo]

Rheo had seen Maureth coming and had withdrawn the Rau just before the teleportation. That old man was weird. He nodded to Maureth and healed everybody, including Roe in his normal form. Yemet was still out cold.

"So Maureth, what happened back there?"

[Deleted]

Roe thanked Rheo for healing him, then sat and listened to what Maureth had to say.

"There is much that happened back there, but it is safe to say he is no more. I now know what I have to do, however. I will need your assistance, Roe." Maureth said, looking up at Roe as he said this. His eyes had the exact same design as his brother's eyes.

"And what can I do to help?" He asked, skeptical. Maureth smiled and stood.

"You can take me to your imprisoner and help me free your people." He said.

[Deleted]

Kamieo frowned as the others vanished, "Well that is no fun, oh well, time to go do other things I guess." he smirked letting his adaptions leave him slowly.

[Deleted]

Maureth had departed soon afterwards, saying something about going back home. But he left with Roe a cylindrical stone that had a curious marking on it. He had said something about using it when he felt the urge to when he confronted the god. Rheo had healed them all and was carrying Yemet on a shield of Rau, and as they walked back towards the city he agreed to assist Roe in his battle. A storm was coming, and it will be destructive.
