*Mays stands silently, having errected a Snactuary spell for the moment, Castus by her side. As he looks down at the small Vial that he wears upon a chain, it begins to glow and shake, the powerdery substance inside swirling around. Castus stares at it for a moment, takes the chain off his neck, and hands it to his mother, it glows brighter as he does.*
Castus: I know not the meaning of this, but i suspect you have at least some idea. Until you can unravel the mysteries of this Vial, keep it, and guard it. Now, I must avenge my capture and rip these puny humans to bits.
May: Stop, it is unwise to fight an unknown enemy. These are no humans, they are the Apocalypse Walkers, a superior form of undead created by a terrible necromancer, a one Toricas. These undead are able to cast extremely high level spells and they posses superhuman speed, strength, and intelligence. When threatened they can phase out of sinc with this plane to avoid damage. If all their tricks do not work, then they can transform, ripping out from their skin, revealing their true form. In this transformed state they seem to be as the Tarrasque, but slightly different, they reek of death and brimstone and have cold lifeless eyes.
Castus: How can you know all this?
May (putting the chain around her neck): I know only because it has been revealed to me by Trias and his Shard of Knowledge, which only exists within his soul now...
Castus: What? You mean he's HERE! *his chains burst forth in a flury of flames*
May: He is wherever I am, he is always with me now.
Castus: I'm not getting any of this...
May: It matters not, we must defeat this foe, for if we do not, they will noly return, in greater numbers, now, follow my lead.
*As she prepares to attack, a great light errupts forth from within, the Shard of Light that Ryu carries responding to contact with the Ashes of the Soul. A great armor of pure light srrounds that of which she was already wearing and time slowls before her. A hands rests upon her shoulder, but it is too small to be Castus's, she turns to face the owner of the hand, it is none other that Trias, in the flesh, literally. Castus sees this and is in disbelief, he then turns to anger*
Castus: YOU DARE SHOW YOU FACE TO ME?!?!
Trias: I am with you, always, I was already here.
Castus: I have no time for word games, just answer me, WHY DID YOU LEAVE US?
Trias: There is no time for such questions, you will have all your answers at a later time. Now, onto the battle. I took the liberty of bringing along a few friends. Devenar and Kane will be here shortly, and Vesquire is down below.
*a portal opens behind them and Kane strides out. His teeth look extremely clean for a deathclaw.*
Kane: I am at your ssservice old friend. *hissing*
Trias: It's good to see you Kane, even death cannot steal the memories of the trust i hold in you. The reason I've summoned you here is to make sure these abominations to do leave, and that they do not phase themselves, can you do that?
Kane: Yessss, asss long asss I have sssome cover. I will need much concccentration to tie them here, I will be unable to defend myssself.
Trias: Castus! Watch Kane! Don't let anybody get close.
Castus: Fine...
May: Then the battle begins, now...
~~meanwhile~~
*The 8 Apocalypse Walkers wait patiently to destroy their foes, seeing two newcomers, they think for a moment that they could be outmatched, seeing as they do not know the newcomers and their tactics, but quickly dismiss it. Each has prepared at least two spells and they begin to get restless.*
~~Back to May~~
*She closes her eyes for a moment as her longsword, the Holy Avenger [that'll get cinfusing...] and Animus Caritas appear in her hands, flaming with a holy fire. The Sanctuary spell begins to end and the Apocalypse Walkers surround the group.*
May: They know what you are and what you are capable of! We are prepared.
Apocalypse Walker 1: So, you know do you? Well then, I guess we'll step it up a notch.
*With a wave of his hand the entire island seems to grow ten fold, the skies darknening to near pitch black, both above and below the island. When the darkness begins to fade, 8 huge, monsterous creatures stand before the group, all looking quite small in comparison. The ground begins to shake and the skies begin to rage with severe storms. Behind the group another portal opens and Devenar crawls out.*
Trias: Devenar! Defend yourself!
*Devenar sleepily looks at the huge creatures and nearly has a heart attack, he mumbles something about "I'm getting too old for this." With a wave of his "hand" and each of the group grows in size, nowhere near that of the AW's, but it will even it a bit.*
May: CHARGE!!!!
*With a gust of wind she rises into air and rushes at the AW's with such a speed that she cannot be seen, she's just a blur.*
