[Tacitus]

*A laughing is heard as Toricas seems to step through some sort of door. There seems to be no trace of him until Castus is heard yelling something and his weapon hitting the Chaos wall. Ryu turns to see Toricas standing next to Yemeth, Abaden and Castus.*

Toricas: Witness a fraction of my power. I sense a bond with these two, it's almost destiny...

*He reaches down and seemingly puts his hands inside Yemeth and Abaden's heads. They scream out as Castus is thrown off and slams into May. They bulk up to twice their size as huge wings burst from their back. They look almost exactly like D.T., save for a few facial features and D.Y. is covered in horrible scars that glow with a deep red light. Yemeth, Abaden and Toricas stare at Aphra for a moment, then with a burst of light the Sanctuary fades in several points, the sanctuary field around Castus and May fades away. D.Y. and D.A. rush forward and lift the two of the ground. Castus is too weak to fight back, and May can barely see through the pain. Overhead the battle between Ryu and D.T. continues. Castus and May are carried off and soon, D.Y. and D.A. return. They lift off from the ground with lightning speed and smash into Ryu. D.Y. turns a bright blue as a great axehead forms in the air below him. D.T. and D.A. both rush Ryu and eventually pin him to the ground just long enough for D.T. to get off his attack. All eight of the cirlces upon the axehead burst with pure black light of non-elemental energy and slam into Ryu. Ryu is able to withstand much of the attack, but it weakens him severely. At the end he is able to squirm free and get away from the three. Toricas meanwhile, is having a bit of fun with Castus and May. Through the immense pain May can see she and Castus are in a huge laboratory. Disfigured humans, obviously dead, arein tubes and other containers around the room. At the rear of the lab eight men lie in some sort of stasis. Near the front about a dozen huge men stand lifeless, their cold eyes staring at May. By this time Castus has regained full consciousness, and is trying to break free from his chains. No matter how hard he tried, he cannot. Toricas walks around the room carrying potions and other things back and forth. After some time he walks over to the tables where May and Castus are bound. He inspects their wings and does some ethnically questionable things to May, but such is the way of all maniacal bastards. Castus is helpless to naught but watch. May tries to resist, but she eventually gives in. After Toricas is finsihed he walks over to the dozen creatures and places his hand on each one's forehead in turn. Each spring to life and stand at the ready, half watching the door, half watching May and Castus. The pain May is feeling seems to be gradulally increasing as she begins to pass out from the pain. Toricas walks over and slaps her around a bit.*

Toricas: Can't have you taking a nap now, can we? I have much planned for you two.

Castus: You touch her of us once more and i'll rip you limb from limb. If you even think it I'll rip you limb from limb.

Toricas (laughing): Really!?!? And how exactly do you plan on doing that?

Castus: Like this!

*With a flash of green light he slips from his bonds as per a Freedom of Movement spell. He rushes at Toricas and pins him to the ground. With unrivaled speed he picks up Toricas, and slams him into the ground. The ground around where he landed is punched in. The 6 creatures that were watching advance with blinding speed and all tackle Castus at once. Four hold him still while the other two rips the wings from his back. They then bind him back up.*

Castus (coughing up blood): You [baleeted] [del taco], I swear I'll be the last one you see, you heart in my hands.

Toricas: I highly doubt it.

*On the other table May screams out in pain as she begins to glow with a dull red light. Toricas walks over and inspects what is happening*

Toricas: An odd turn of events...

~~meanwhile~~

*Rebirth is fighting a stalemate. Vesquire is taking out any remainign undead. The fragments in his arm are making it difficult to fire, but he endures. Jans continually stands up, attempts to fight, and is thrown to the ground once more. Burn's leg opens up and begins minor repairs.*

Hero: I think we had better get inside before this guy kills all of us.
