Apocalypse was walking into the throne room with a cape of darkness and he laid his blade to the side that disintegrated into the shadows, he turned and sat on his thrown smiling. A middle sized soldier walked into the room and got down on one knee, "My lord... where have you been? We have been worried and-" Apocalypse raised his hand slowly and then looked down at the man, "Worried you say? Of what? Losing me? Are you insane?" And then the soldier was engulfed in black flames. "Turok!" A man appeared before Apocalypse wearing a black cloak with the all Seeing Eye insignia on his left shoulder. "Yes my lord."
Apocalypse smiled then looked down at his assassin, "I want you to go to Kishimaru and end his life. Bye the time you get there he will be weakened and the only defense he has are a few dragons. Do you think you can handle such a task?" Turok looked up his skin was dark and his eyes burned with a gold fire, "I will do as you command my lord." Apocalypse smiled and reached into a pocket and pulled a small female hand and tossed it at Turok's feet, it had angelic properties and glowed even though severed. "Take that to him before you kill him. Let him see it.” Turok leaned down and grabbed it with a hand covered in armor, “I will do as you command my liege.” He turned and placed the hand in his coat and walked out of the throne room quickly though Envy appeared in a cloud of mist in front of the thrown. “What have you done? Where is Sloth?!” Apocalypse only smiled as he snapped his fingers and she appeared in a blinding white light beside his thrown, “She is fine Envy.” Sloth looked normal only she was looking down and that glow that she usually had, was diminished slightly. She wouldn’t look Envy in the eye and that seemed to make him even madder. “Now is there anything else Envy?” “Why send that assassin? I’m more than enough for the job. Kishimaru is my twin he should fall by my hands. And if that wasn’t Sloth’s hand who’s was it? I know you can’t just ” His power was climbing and the temperature was dropping until Apocalypse raised his hand and Envy dropped to his knees, “For one small reason. Your anger towards him clouds your judgment in battle, its why he is able to best you every time you fight. If you had been sent he would probably have killed you and then he would start to kill us all and I will not have that. Just because you have a personal score to settle. Now if you will excuse me, Sloth and I have a few things we must discuss.” She seemed to flinch at the word ‘discuss’ and Envy’s eyes widened and he growled even more but Sloth caught his eyes and she was close to tear, but she nodded him to go anyway. Envy stood slowly and then started to leave but turned back to Apocalypse, “We are not done here you know that don’t you?” There was bitter hatred in his words, and Apocalypse only laughed deeply in his throat and nodded his head, “Yes I know this but I also know that nothing will change when we continue this conversation.” Envy walked out and Gluttony walked thru the wall beside him, “What has you so huffy and puffy?” He was still wearing the same twisted smile as always as those deep indented eyes stared at nothing, “Sloth has to go now. She cant stay here any longer.” Envy’s voice was full of rage and then Gluttony stepped in front of him, “To go against Apocalypse is a death sentence!” Envy growled and grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air, “That may be… but you piss me off I kill you just for spite. Now will you help me?” Gluttony slipped into the shadows then appeared above Envy, “No! But I know who will. He already is going to die so let him help her. I will give her passage but help in other way.” He disappeared into the shadows and Envy growled even more, “I guess there is no other way. Kishimaru…” He ground his teeth together and walked away in the mist off to plan Sloth’s escape. At that moment Kishimaru slowly woke up his head spinning but his senses were under control again. He looked over to Moon and then groaned as he sat up, "How long was I out?" He was trying to get his barings as he hissed when he sat up. He looked around and noticed that the chinese dragon was sitting calmly in a coiled circle and Esrin was still on the ground going thru his transformation. "Im guessing an hour or two?"

Moon nodded her head, "That's about right. I was worried there for a moment, but then you seemed to getting better." she smiled then shrugs as she gets to her feet and heads over to the small fire she had built. "I was able to hunt a deer while you were sleeping. Its not much but it is meat and its something that I know you need in order to regain full strength." she says feeling a bit drained from having given Kishimaru some of her own energy in order to recover faster.
She gestures for him to come and sit with her by the fire as she takes out a knife and begins to slice up the meat into big hunks for everyone. "The air smells different and everything seems out of place for some reason. We need to be at are best in order to be prepared for what seems to be coming." |

Kishimaru nodded as he took a few peices of meat and ate them raw, "Thank you... For everything." He smiled as he looked over to her then looked back at Esrin as his transformation was almost complete and his body had grown around 3 feet and he had gained around 50 lbs of muscle. Kishimaru sighed as he grabbed a leg and tossed it to the other dragon who snapped it up whole and sollowed, "Thank you." The winds shifted slightly bring blood towards them, the blood from the village. Kishimaru ground his teeth as he ate silently thinking of what to do next. "We need to be ready, but if Greed is there... We're all going to die." Kishimaru sighed as he looked at the sky, "Not even Apocalypse can control Greed. We have no chance against him, should he choose to be home when we get there."
"Then what is it you propose we do? Nothing?" Kishimaru shook his head as he thought about what to do if Greed was there, "Well if he is there.. Then Ill have to use the impact. Thats the only thing that would probly hurt him." Kishimaru grabbed his right arm softly and he looked away knowing what that would do to him, "But then the rest would be up to you and Altiar and Brail. But no matter what condition you find her in you have to promise me youll get her out of there!" He looked at Moon his eyes were pleeding and you could see that he knew exactly what she was going thru right now, the dozens of scars all over his body his marred flesh, they were all from that fortress.

Moon nodded as she chewed her meat giving her time to think before she answered, "You need to have more faith in us and our abilities. It takes a lot to hurt a dragon and even more to kill one of us. We will prevail against Apocalypse, trust me." she said with an easy smile her tone confident and more sure then she actually felt.

Kishimaru nodded slowly and pondered this, very few Dragons had died in the eons of fighting with the Juggerenauts. Kishimaru looked up at the sky and thought deeply, "The dragons rule the skies themselves. And no one other but the Angels dare enter their domain." Kishimaru smirked as he thought over things, "Your right... We are going to be more than a match for Greed when and if he shows up. But first we have to survive till we can face his fortress and his minions. There arent going to be many guards but every guard there is there for a reason. They are hand picked by Greed because of their skill in battle nothing more. Race, Gender, none of that matters to Greed. Its your skill with the sword that earns respect from him, and very few have ever earned his complete respect. He doesnt even Respect Apocalypse but this is because his tactics are always twisted and cut throat."
Kishimaru smiled as he looked at Moon, "There might even be a way that we walk in without having to fight." He smirked as he looked down at Baraga in his lap, "Are you really thinking what I think your thinking? Cause if so, you know Im in." Kishimaru smirked as he picked up Baraga and tilted him against his shoulder, "This could be fun. If all goes well." There was a twisted glint in Kishimaru's eyes, the same of all Juggernaut before they go into battle. The thought of fighting brought his body alive and his every nerve was on fire, slowly the air around him started to spark with energy and the air started to cool. Pretty soon the ground he was standing on froze over as he started to pace around the camp site. The more he thought about fighting Greed the more the climate started to change until the very area was nothing but an open snow feild but Kishimaru didnt seem to notice. The fire even started to flicker and fade to nothing slowly the more energy he put out.

Moon nodded getting some of that excitement from but also some of her own a the thought of the coming battle, or no battle at all. Either way it was going to be interesting to see how he intended on getting them into the place and if it came down to actually fighting that was fine too because Moon needed a bit of exercise. She smiled at him, "So tell me of this plan of yours...." her voice full of excitement.

He turned to her and smiled broadly, “Simple really. We go in and kill a lot of gaurds and tell them that we challenge Greed to a fight. You see he never turns down a challenge because he is undefeated for over 2 eons. That is some feet even by his standards.” He looked around and smiled as he could feel the cold rejuvenating him slowly, “And when we challenge him he will fight one of us and the others can go and get her and get out. Its that simple. Though I hope it goes that well. But first things first. We need to get there.” He looked around feeling a change in the winds as it blew towards their group and they could smell the decay and rotting of trees. Standing about a hundred yards was a man around 7 feet tall and around 2 feet thick, his arms folded and his golden eyes focused on them.
“Toruk…” The dragon muttered as he stared at him, Kishimaru looked up in confusion. “How do you know him?” The dragon ignored his question and shot up into the sky roaring as he came down bellowing a collem of fire down on Turok and he disappeared in it. But reappeared on the dragons head and placed a single hand on his head and he then jumped off. But the dragon continued to fall until he crashed down into the ground and when the dust cleared you could see that his body was already decaying. Turok landed on a tree near the camp and it started to wither under his feet. He was wearing a brown leather vest and fur braces on each forearm, he also had withered fur paints and sported two blades on his back that he had yet to unsheathe. “You are Kishimaru are you not?”

Moon hissed as she got to her feet bringing her spear forward, "I don't know who you are, but you will pay for what you have done." she snarls to him, though she made no move to attack. Who or whatever this guy is he was pretty strong if he could take out a dragon with one touch, dragons were nearly indestructible and yet this man so easily killed one. She was not going to look forward to fighting him, but she would be damned if she was going to let him do the same to Kishimaru.

Turok looked to Moon and smiled then looked at the branch he was standing on and sighed as he jumped forward and landed on the fresh snow causing it to crunch under his feet. The tree he was standing on then fell in on itself, rotted out and dead and Kishimaru realized how he killed him. So Kishimaru nodded a confirmation of who he was. Turok looked in his vest then pulled a pearl white hand and tossed it at Kishimaru’s feet, “That would be what’s left of your friend Sloth. It seems that she was trying to get free to be with you to help you, but Apocalypse found out before she could get away and that is what is left of her. Pity how everyone you care for dies.” Kishimaru stared in disbelief as he reached down and touched it and he could feel the coldness of it and knew that it was true… He remembered the last time that he saw her alive and the pain ripped thru him more than any of his tortures those long years.
[It was a calm day, they were sitting on the castles rooftop looking down at the charred lands after Wrath had gotten tired of seeing trees, and hearing birds chirp in the mornings.] “This is wrong…” Sloth’s voice was low and she was considerably younger so she resembled a 12 year old but looked up at Kishimaru as she leaned on him looking at the ground. “Why do they continue to destroy everything? It only causes pain. I don’t like pain.” Kishimaru held her close to him and sighed as his eyes were heavy, he had spent some time away from her because of the assignment he was given to him by Apocalypse earlier. “We do as we are told to. Nothing more. Haven’t you learned that from what I have taught you little one?” Kishimaru looked down at her his eyes soft and a smile on his lips something that was only showed to her in those days. “I know that Kishi… But its still wrong.” Deep inside Kishimaru knew that as well but he had always followed Apocalypse, “Then we must do something to change things shouldn’t we?” Kishimaru stood up determination written all over his body as he looked up to the skies, back then Baraga was always strapped to his back tightly and his power always leaked out. Sloth looked up at him and smiled, “Really? We will save the people who suffer?” Kishimaru nodded as he took her hand and then looked out there, “But I must go alone for now. Your not ready. You will be safe here.” She started to cry as she held onto his waist, “Your leaving me! You cant!! You never leave me! You have to take me with you!!!” Kishimaru looked at her then pushed her away, “I’ll be back for you. I promise.” With that he left, and that was the last time he ever saw Sloth. [Those memories were all he had left of her and he was burning inside as he knew the one reason he would never see her again, was because of Apocalypse.] He stood tears still falling from his face as he faced Turok, “Done crying now? Its about time. I have a schedule to keep you know.” Kishimaru was looking down tears no longer flowing and a subtle wind started to stir around him. Thats when the power exploded forth in a wave of energy and the power baring down on them all was more than thought possible from the small juggernaut. His shirt was ripped apart showing his scared chest and the word ‘EXILE’ burning brightly, “Your all mine…” Turok smiled as he snapped his fingers and a mighty roar came from the forest. The fallen dragon who’s skull was now visible, and a decaying stench was coming from him. “Then this play thing will keep your friend busy.” He smirked as he looked at Moon then the dragon lunged at her roaring as Kishimaru drew Baraga and rushed at Turok. The dragon circled around Moon, its 60 feet surrounding her compeletly as it kept its distance but in its stomach you could see the fire burning brightly. Kishimaru slashed his sword downward at Turok but he side stepped it. Though the speed at which Kishimaru was coming at him at was far greater than anything he couldve thought possible. Again and again he was getting closer and closer to hitting him dead on and Turok started to realize enraging this juggernaut was a fatal mistake he wouldnt live to learn from.
