The Misadventures of Seth and Drey: Part Two

I did what Seth said and prepared, but I couldn't keep my guard up. Who is Aiionwatha?

OOC: Ooh, I have a kinda cool idea but it'll happen during the fight.

OOC: Pm it to me so we don't spoil it for viewers.

I just blinked in surprise, and staggered a little. "No... It's not possible. How could a demon and deity be mixed...?"
Sevukon stared at me for a moment, then asked, "Would you like to know?"
I nodded.
"Alright fine. This is how you're a deity/demon hybrid. About 100 years before you were born, and 10,000 years after the battle between me and Aiionwatha, I decided to create a demon that would help me defeat your mother. That demon was Kalos, the black, silver-winged wolf you turn into when you go demonic.
"I had almost completed the soon-to-be Lord of Destruction when Aiionwatha found out and destroyed him, leaving only his dark soul behind. And this is where you come in, Sethstone. A few years later, I'd heard that Aiionwatha was having a child, and I saw that as my chance to exact revenge. One day, when your mother had business in the mortal realm, she had left her petty deity friends to protect you, but they were no match for my power.
"And so I took you back here, and inserted Kalos's soul into you while sending your deity soul into a stone carving of your mortal father who's name I can't remember."
I stood there, taking in this whole story, all the while shivering in anger and fear. "So, let me guess. Aiionwatha trapped you in this portal in revenge for what you did to me?"
Sevukon nodded. "Yes, but I made a deal with her. She would have to trap herself in a portal as well, that way Light would not rule over Darkness."
"An equal balance..."
"That won't be equal anymore, now that I'm free."
At this, I began growling. "That's why I always had kindness inside. I'm the son of the Lady of Life, Aiionwatha!" I looked up at Sevukon. "You want me to help? Sorry to say, I'm not. There's no way I'll kill my own mother!"
The demon flinched. "How in the world...?! Why did you accept that story so fast?!"
I smiled. "I know it's true, because slowly but surely, my deity soul is returning to me. Not to mention I've been having glimpses of that story in my dreams. Sevukon, in the name of my mother, I'm going to stuff you back inside that portal, permanentley!"
The Lord of Death let out a roar that shook the platform, and he gave me his death glare. "I should've just killed you when I had the chance. Sethstone... No, Tenshi! You're the one who will be gone permanentley!"

OOC: Actually, I don't want to spoil it for you. Just when something happens that makes you go "HOLY CRAP WHAT JUST HAPPENED", roll with it. And don't worry, if won't effect your story.

I stared at Sevukon, then at Seth. What? Seth is...the son of a diety? Then I covered my ears from his roar. "Seth, get out of there!" I yelled.

OOC: Okay. His roar doesn't do anything except for scare people... It shook the platform just because he's so big. Anyway, the big gun's yours, now. And we'll have to figure out a way that Surrokumon dies, too.

I was about to snap at Drey, but he was right in a way. If I were to even have a chance against Sevukon, I'd have to get my heart back first. Drey, try and distract him while I go get my heart back. And don't die, please. I added as Sevukon prepared to attack.

Gotcha. I'll pull a Kain. I ran out front and center. "Hey, you big...wolf thing!"
Sevukon turned his gaze to me, and I froze. Oh crap, not smart.
He took a step and I still couldn't move. "You annoying little dragonfly...I would have never given Darcore his powers if I had known he'd use them on you."
I somehow managed to step back. "What?"
Sevukon grinned. "You didn't know? It was I who corrupted the elves at the begining of time."
So...there was the connection between him and Darcore...between Seth and me. I clenched my fist and gritted my teeth, my old fire for revenge kicking back up.
"So you're just as responsible for what happened to me as he was," I growled.

OOC: By the way, that's not it. I hope that's alright, though.

I sighed as I raced behind Sevukon. That's the Lord of Death for ya. When I reached the back, all the keys were scattered. My heart, still beating of course, was in the middle, Cyrus's dagger right next to it. I took them both and plummeted the dagger into my chest reopening the scar and allowing me to replace my heart. I stood and tried to shake the blood off of my hands.
"Dang, I'll never get used to that."

OOC: "Hey, you big...wolf thing!" lol, that might be my new favorite.

Sevukon just narrowed his eyes. "I might be, yet. Perhaps this will make it up to you." He liffted a huge paw and brought it down on me.
I broke whatever spell he had on me just in time to jump out of the way. My eyes grew darker and I was begining to transform. Dang it, his dark energy is getting to me...
He roared again and this time leapt at me fangs bared and claws extended.

At this point, I transformed into demon form and leaped onto Sevukon's back, biting him on the back of the neck while Surrokumon grabbed one of his tails.

Sevukon roared and reared back, flicking his tails against Surrokumon tried to fling Seth off. The destraction was just enough for me dash and roll out of there. I watched them struggled briefly, when I heard a voice behind me.
"Well, hello again."
I spun around. "You!"
The Howling leader that had been after Kragis and I. He smirked, his arms crossed.
"I see you've met my father; charming guy, isn't he?"
I stood up and stepped back. "What do you want now? We're here already, aren't we?"
He looked over at the fight between Sevukon, Seth, and Surrokumon. "Well, you see, the Dark Lord hadn't anticpating this small little change, so we no longer need you alive anymore."

Sevukon finally managed to throw Seth off and pin him under a paw. "You cannot defeat me! I created you!"

OOC:I'm not very good controling a titan I've found out...

OOC: Just pretend he's twice the size as Seth now. He can do that, after all.

"You mean you created half of me!" I snarled while bringing my hind paws up and into Sevukon's stomach, throwing him off. I got to my paws as Surrokumon landed on one side of me and Kuroi appeared on the other.
"You will pay for what you did to my eye, Sevukon!" my 'brother' roared. Surrokumon just glared at the Dark Lord.

Sevukon snarled. "As will YOU for betraying me!" and he lunged to take on all of them at once, lashing his tails out like nine viscious whips.

I jumped out of the way as the Howling Leader's claws came down on me, but not fast enough. I flinched and held my arm where he just barely grazed it.
He smiled. "You know, we never properly introduced ourselves, did we?" He straightened up, and suddenly looked like a different version of a Fury...no, he looked like what Darcore would turn into.
"I am Kronos, leader of the Howling and hunter of the Dark Ones." He took an offensive pose and grinned darkly at me. "And you, Dreyden Istalri, are my prey. Now show me what Darcore has accomplished!

OOC: not the original name I had for him, but finally a name!

OOC: It might actually work. I know that Sevukon actually does have a son named Kronos, we just don't know what happened to him... Anyway, i'm gonna go, 'cause i'm really tired for some reason. See you tomorrow!

We all leaped out of the way at once, Kuroi getting whipped in the side where his eye was missing. As I dodged the lashing tails, I mindspoke to both of them. We need to find a weak point, but how?
Kuroi looked at me from across the platform. His weakness is Light, but your deity form isn't fully complete yet, is it?
There was a pause before I answered, No. I looked over to see Drey fighting off the Howling leader for Sevukon's pack, but I knew he could handle himself. I couldn't completely kill Sevukon, but there had to be a way to get him back in the portal...
The keys, Seth! We have to get Sevukon in the middle of all the keys! Well, excluding you, thankfully.
I smirked. Thanks Roku. And while we dodged Sevukon's attacks, I began devising a plan that would probably cost my life.

I stared at Kronos like he was crazy for a moment, then narrowed my eyes. "Very well then." I let the Fury take over, and grinned. "Not that I'm trying prove anything for that bastard, but what the hell, right?"
Kronos smiled. "At last." And lunged in for a swipe.

Sevukon snarled at them. "Don't even think about putting me back in there. I'll destoy all the keys before you have the chance!"

"Oh, just shut up alreayd." Kuroi snarled, and he leaped and latched onto Sevukon's muzzle with his fangs. Surrokumon leaped onto his back and started biting at the demon's ear. I, on the other hand, began collecting the keys while shooting ice spears at Sevukon. I had to get them around the demon before any of us got severly injured, or even killed. Not to mention so much for my plan: I forgot Sevukon can read minds at will.

Sevukon roared and flung the two off, and, seeing what Seth was doing, smacked Seth with his tails, forcing a few of the keys to fly from his grip, one sliding over where Kronos was fighting. Then he made a dash for the ones fallen.

I hissed and dodged his attack, ducking low and raking my claws across his mid-section. Kronos flinched and rammed his elbow down on my back, making me go temporarily numb. Neither of us noticed the key that stopped just a few feet away.

I went flying straight into the portal, but luckily one of the pillars stopped me from going in. I immediatley scrambled to my paws and intercepted Sevukon, grabbing two of the five keys I'd lost. Surrokumon turned shadow and grabbed the one near Kronos and Drey with his two tails, then brought it back to me.
"Seth, I'll hold onto the keys. You try and grab the others."
I nodded, then flew around to the other side of the portal to grab the others there. Kuroi ran after Sevukon to get the other key I'd lost.

I snapped at Kronos's side, but missed as he jumped into the air and hovered there.
"Heh, you're still fun to play with. Let's take it up a notch." He held out a hand and made a sword appeared in a swirl of black mist. I tapped into my DragonLord powers, and metalic scale-like armor stretched across my body and sharpened my claws. I thrust off the ground at him as he swung the blade down, claws meeting metal.
Kronos looked excited. "Ooh, that's a new one!"

"Oh no you don't!" Sevukon lunged after Surrokumon, shooting out a laser-like blast of dark energy from his mouth.

Surrokumon attempted to move, but wasn't fast enough. He got hit with the blast and the keys fell over the edge. I halted where I was and saw the Disturbia lying on the ground, a large wound where Sevukon hit him. "Surrokumon!" I yelled. Damn, this wasn't good. I had to do something...
With a howl, I spread my silver, bird-like wings and dove off the platform, grabbing the keys before they could disappear.

I flew into a flurry of swipes, giving him no time to attempt a counterattack. My attacks were landing, but none of them were close to fatal. But they were enough; I was gathering all the information I needed.
Then Kronos let out a blast of dark energy that smothered my own and knocked me to the groung. He landed next to me, laughing. "Your attacks can't harm me! I am made of stronger darkness than you could ever hope to be!"
"That's why I'm using this," I said, and plunged a claw right through his chest. Just before I did, though, the DragonLord markings appeard around my eyes and the black tips of my claws turned pure white.
Kronos stared into nothing with a look of utter shock as black blood splattered my arm and face.
Sevukon turned his head. "Kronos!"
Kronos's eyes half closed. "I'm sorry...my Lord Sevukon..." he rasped before shattering into dark mist.
Sevukon stared as Kronos's dark aura returned to to him. "You destroyed my son...YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT WITH YOUR LIFE!"
I turned in startlement and froze under his gaze. Sevukon's hour-glass pupils began to spin, and once again that animal-like terror shot through all my nerves. But I was in his full gaze...there was no way I was going to make it out in time!
Sevukon roared and the huge wave of energy hit me full on. In the blink of an eye my back hit the floor, and then everything went dark.

I flew up just in time to see Sevukon unleash his Death Fury on Drey. "NO!" I roared, but I was too late. I flew over to Drey's side, dropping the keys. "Drey!" Tears were beginning to escape, but not tears of sadness. They were tears of anger. I slowly turned to face Sevukon as fury overcame me. I could feel tails beginning to sprout, and I could feel myself growing. I was the same size as Sevukon when I had transformed into a half black, half white nine-tailed wolf, with the black side having a red eye and the white side having a purple one. I had gone into my ultimate form, and I was VERY pissed off.
"You'll pay for killing my best friend, you BASTARD!" I snarled, and lunged.

OOC: Yes, he's transformed into the epic wolf in my signature. Only just invert the marking colors.

OOC: Awesome. By the way, that was the WHAT THE CRAP moment. But you probably figured that out.

Sevukon howled in triumph and met Seth in mid-air, snapping for his throat.

OOC: I know. I'm just like, "The hell? Isn't he supposed to disappear? Oh well, whatever."

I lashed out at Sevukon with my tails and then slashed him across the face with the light paw.

OOC: Well, one of the things Drey hasn't realized yet as a DragonLord is that he can choose when to die. That's why his body didn't disappear.

Sevukon recoiled from the blow and countered with a tail whip of all his tails combined, his dark elemental energy radiating from them like thorns.

OOC: Oh yeah, I remember that! I was reading Shadow Maker recently, so... yeah. And Sevukon doesn't affect that anyway because Drey's not from that universe.

Some of his dark energy pierced me, making scars on my light side. I landed on my paws and countered with a large blast of dark and light energy that was actually mostly light.

OOC: lol, me too! I've just recently finished reading both the Shadow maker and all of the Misadventures up to this point. I'm rereading the adventures of kain now. We were really good! I cried again a little.

Sevukon hissed in pain; the light burned. But that wasn't going to stop him. He's waited too long for the moment he could escape. No way some brat of Aiionwatha's was going to stop him!
He smiled. His demon side, however, will work against his diety. Sevukon roared again, dodging the blasts, and bit his neck once more. He began pumping him with more dark energy, feeding his demon, making that side of him more stronger.
