[h1][u][color=00aeef]Sage Ruzuzaki[/color][/u][/h1] He was into it, after a while: the mute boy as started getting with the crowd, light flashed everywhere as the bodies around him got closer to him. To be honest it was nice to have so much people dance around him...and he didn't think he would be a person to like it. "Hey!" His head turned around to meet the voice amongst the masses. [img]http://i.imgur.com/M61pmay.png[/img] An ice white haired girl wearing a green night club outfit was making her way towards him with a smirk on her face. "You dance good, for someone whose face i haven't seen!" -Ahhh...thanks- Sage wrote to her 'Dammit, i must have got carried away' he cursed himself before the girl came close to him. in further inspection: her White hair went well with her green eyes, but he couldn't help to notice that her wore horn accessories on her head. "Writing to me huh, that's a new thing for me!" she yelled with a smile on her face as her body started dance with the beat "What: cat got your tongue?!" -Yeah: since i was born, I have no vocal chords!- "Well that sucks doesn’t it?!" she shrugged her shoulders “Come on well dance as my compensation!" Grabbing his hand without his say in it, the girl in green dragged him deeper into the mosh pit, as if it was any denser, the air was thick with sweat the got together. "Come on, get closer to me!" -Ahhh...- The boy watched as the girl in green closed her eyes has started swaying her waist to the music, soon her whole body followed her as began her dance, meanwhile Sage bobbed to the beat of the music. All the while as everyone of dancing for kissing. She always had a smile of her face as her moves become of advanced and soon exotic. It was enough to entrance Sage by her. "hehehe...did I turn you on mute?" she opened her eyes and gave a cute wink, without his response in paper, the girl took his hand and twirled herself into his body, the space between them thinned out as she started swaying again "Come on, I’ll teach you how to 'dance'" Mild not safe for work incoming: [Hider]Sage was helpless against as he instantly wrapped his arm around her waist, getting a chuckle from her "Gooodd" With a lick of her lips, her pressed her rear into his groin and started rocking soften against him, Sage would have had his eye popped out. But for the interest: he didn't. The beat in the club soon turned slow as the two slowly got into rhythm, she moaned as he responded in pushing into her in turn, she knew he was hard, it was evident by the way a 'lump' behind her move between her ass. As a reward, she snaked her left arm around his neck while her right took his and moved it up to her breast. "Touch me all you want~" she cooed "I won't mind~" Sage remained stoic as he followed her order, teasing a squeeze from her she moaned lightly. 'This girl...she's tipsy...but she wants someone tonight...I could use this to my advantage.' 'Don't forget: you have Yang' He froze for a moment, before shaking his head 'She'll be pissed, but she'll understand...I hope' Sage resumed groping her as they rocked together. He knew she felt him getting hard. He soon decided to turn it up a notch, he pinched her nipple underneath her clothes, getting her to moan in pleasure. "Please, give me more!" she cried out breathlessly "Your hands feel so good!" 'Whore....not even 5 minutes in, and she loving my touch- Sage smirked darkly as continued to sensual onslaught. She soon opened her eyes, their faces close to each other. “More…..” The green soon guided his hand south of her body their hands disappearing underneath the fabric of her short skirt. Then he kissed her. Causing her to moan in absolute pleasure. All the while they were dancing. He drove his tongue inside her, setting off another shattering moan that was music to his ears. She was quite an instrument to play, so finely tuned, and if he touched her right, she made the most glorious sounds — raw, intense, absolutely delicious noises of pleasure as he plundered her with his tongue. She grabbed his hair, yanked and pulled him closer as he’d told her to do. He thrust one finger inside her, crooking it and hitting her in the spot that turned her moans into one long, high-pitched orgasm. She shuddered against him, her legs quaking, and when he finally slowed to look up at her, he saw her hair was a wild tumble, and her face was glowing. “You….you know how to work you magic mute boy~” she finally said after they pulled away, but sooner after she started rubbing his pants and licked her lips… Come one…let’ go somewhere quite…My have I room upstairs, away from the public.” She kissed him passionately before taking his hand again. “I’m Hannah Lilac, A mage of Avatar” Hannah Winked “Now let’s see what you’re made of.” -Just Call me Sage, trust me: I’ve had experience-[/hider] He lied hard. …………………………… [h2] 3 hours passed after a little ‘encounter’ [/h2] Sage yawned as he slipped out of bed and grabbed his clothes ‘she was truly a ‘demon’’ he looked over to see Hannah sleeping peacefully with her bed sheet over her naked body. He could hear the party still going hard. ‘Man…how hard do they want to party?’ [u][b][color=ed1c24]‘Excuse me if I intrude…but you do have a mission you know, and you just had sex.’ [/color][/b][/u]Bakuko spoke. Chucking on the last article of clothing Sage headed outside of Hannah’s room, giving one last look to her. He headed of. …….. ‘Man it’s really chilly!’ Sage shivered as he rubbed his shoulder for warmth, he looked around. ‘It’s snowing…” [u][b][color=ed1c24]“What do you expect? This is the region of Ice!” [/color][/b][/u]the voided beast grunt at his ignorance “[u][b][color=ed1c24]Come on then let’s go.” Nodded with the beast the Boy settled out “Now if I were to keep something important and valuable…I would easily place in the room.”[/color][/b][/u] ‘The guild masters room.’ Sage conclude as he walked quietly, keeping his sense sharp at the same time. ‘If only I knew where it was…’ [u][b][color=f26522]“You could have asked Hannah while you were pounding her”[/color][/b][/u] ‘Or course, hand her a piece of note while I’m doing her….’ Rolling his eyes he looked one before he crouched low near a wall. On cue a guard walked by with lacrima light in hand. ‘Guards. Of course they would be some.’ Instead to letting them walk by, he grabbed his collar and smashed his face in rendering him unconscious. He dragged his body near a shadow, well away from anyone’s attention before the patted him down ‘Damn…nothing’ he sighed ‘Couldn’t he have a map or something?’ He got up again and moved, repeating the same process as the guards came walking by, on occasions some would be ready a fend him off, they would soon met their fates via an Elbow to the face. “Man this is getting boring, I think I’ve covered most of this area already!” He let his guard down for a second. A sudden rattle of something rusty caught his attention before a jumped out of harms away, quickly facing his attacker he got into position. [img] http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_1rsz_1rsz_v2_11_00043_5972.png[/img] “Well this id interesting…who would have though in all this month, another weasel would try to get into the 60th floor.” The mind with the White mask snickered “Doesn’t matter, they all die in the end.” Sage braced himself as he got into his fighting stance. [img]http://www.aryan-nation.org/zog/books/FM%2021-150%20Hand-to-Hand%20Combat,%20US%20Army/combatives_chapter_2_files/Fig2-16.gif[/img] “Allow me to name myself as you die: Glen Harp, Right hand Command of Avatar and its guild master.” ‘Right hand? Then you would know all about this place’ Sage smirked has be grasped his fist tighter into balls. ‘Show me what you got.’ …….. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-l6I9RRKrE&list=PL11BF5B201F310E61&index=34] DO OR DIE [/url] The sound of stone tiles cracking was heard and the boy looked to where Glen had been standing, a pile of completely crushed Rubble and stone began to shiver and shake before it was sent rocketing every which way as Glen stood back up. He cracked his neck and back before chuckling and his chainsaw revving. "You've got speed, Kid. It's been years since that kind of movement that intense." "………" The Blue eyes of the figure the electrified look with the determination to make the mage before them, fall. Glen chuckled once more. "Brat, I've lived longer than you..." The voided black beast gave a loud bark of laugher in amusement ‘I’ve lived longer than you fool’. He was ancient compared to the late adult before him as said man continued to speak, "In almost every fight I've had, I have never had the need to go all out. The fact that that you were moving around makes in frustrating to me. So here's the thing...give up and let me kill you" Glen Stuck his chain saw into the ground before he punched his right fist into his left palm, "As I smash your face in for the acts of committed." Sage remained static as he the man waited for an answer, sighing the boy took of his coat before closing his eyes. Glen's eyes narrowed as he looked at the Black haired boy. Sage Exhaled before becoming serious. His blue eyes turned Yellow and Red.

The mage replied in though ‘I have a mission to complete, so don't you dare get in my way!’ Sage clenched his fists and fell back into his fighting stance ‘My resolve will keep me strong!’ "Not much of a talker huh? Doesn't matter to me if your talk or don't: you will die." Glen walked towards him bare handed. “I won’t use my chainsaw on you, I’ll make you suffer with my Magic!” ‘If I recall, you said no one was able to win against you. Very well. I'll accept you’re so called challenge and beat you down!’ The Voided beast host suddenly vanished with strands of Darkness in his previous place, Glen smirked as he raised his hand and blocked the punch to the side of his skull. "You're fast." Glen commented. ‘Years of experience huh? Let’ see you turn in up a notch.’ The Mute mage though as he suddenly vanished once more, appearing above Glen and sent a Leg drop towards his opponent. Glen crashed the air and nullified the blade only for the god's axe kick to drive itself towards him. The Buzz-cut haired mage raised his arms, crossing them so as to block the kick while he crashed the earth, a small crater forming as the powerful kick had enough force to make Glen's arms feel slightly sore. 'Crash Magic!? The same as Glidarts Clive?' Sage thought as his leg was grabbed. Glen pulled the boy down and slammed him into the hard Concrete before throwing him away. The boy back flipped as he was thrown, easily stabilizing himself before skidding backwards as friction came into play. He came to a stop before staring at his masked opponent. The Right hand man of Avatar glared back at Sage before making a flicking motion with his hand. The black haired boy merely smirked and vanished. [color=a0410d][b]"Akuma-Ju no Mosu! (Devilled Beast’s burn)" [/b][/color] He vanished into the area around him and Glen's eyes widened as he frantically began to look around for the boy. The wind shifted to his left and he turned, quickly leaning back, but his feet remained planted in their original spot as he avoided the flying kick. As the Mute mage blitz past, he quickly ricocheted back from the ground towards his foe. However, as Glen was about to counter with his own attack, the boy vanished before his eyes in mid-air. "Mid-air movement? What’s up this power? Is he a one of the rare Devil Slayers I’ve been hearing about?" Glen asked himself “I thought Fullbuster was the only one…” he was impressed at the feat. However, he didn't have time to remain surprised as the black haired boy suddenly reappeared in front of him. Glen raised his arms and blocked the double kick to his chest. Glen crashed the ground once more so that the impact wouldn't move him. His pride was on the line: for his guild, Master and Friends. If Sage managed to move him, things may worsen...for him. Glen gritted his teeth as he felt Devil slayer suddenly push off before charging power to his arms. A blood-red aura appeared both on the boy’s arms; he cocked both his arms and swung forward. “Take this!” He then took a step forward and vanished from view once more. However, Glen suddenly felt himself being attacked from all sides by an invisible force. He gritted his teeth as he used his years of skill and magic sensory abilities to do his best to avoid the strikes, however his eyes widened as he suddenly felt something warm against his cheek. He raised his hand and looked at the smear of crimson that appeared on his fingers, it was impossible! He had a Mask! He was hit...and he was bleeding. The boy appeared behind the mage panting ‘this….this would so much easier if I had Death Knocking here! But at least I’m tuning up my hand to hand combat skills.” The Demon gritted his teeth “But still I need to finish this and keep going!” Glen broke from his trance and faced the boy once more. 'Screw it, if I keep fighting him on his terms, I'm really going to get hurt.' He thought before jumping back from the quick roundhouse, though he did manage to slice his pants. However, It let him open as Sage placed his hand on his chest.[color=a0410d] “Akuma-jū parusu (Deviled beast’s Pulse!)” [/color]the blast of pressurized air that followed after the slash sent him rocketing backwards. The man gaped in shock as he felt the pressure against his chest. He flipped in the air to recover only for Sage to appear next to him. Smirking. “Eat this!” A crushing kick slammed itself into Glen's side. The Chainsaw man gritted his teeth as he felt like his ribs were about to snap in two before inertia kicked in and sent him flying into the walls, the speed at which Sage moved his leg finally registering. With that, Glen rocketed through the air in the direction the kick had sent him, going through numerous Pillars and other forms of stone. Sage sighed, He wanted to fight some more, "Now….should I retreat now or finish him?” the boy wondered, the god made his decision “I just need to check one thing….” He then took off after the mage. A stone pillar supporting the castle like guild was suddenly shattered as Glen flew through it. The masked mage stuck out one arm and skidded backwards, using the friction to stop his movement before leaping out of the way as Tried to Curb stomp him in his previous position. Glen gritted his teeth, clutching his ribs where his opponent had struck him. "Kuso...that boy hits hard. That kick...that was fatal. I’m pretty sure that my ribs nearly snapped." Glen said as he stood back up. A whistle was heard and Glen looked up to see the black figure zooming towards him. The near bald haired mage quickly stood back up and performed a backflip to avoid the punch to his face, a small crater forming from the force of the impact. "But I've got experience on my side, boy." Glen mumbled (Whiled that boy sighed in frustration) before rearing back his fist. A silvery-White aura surrounded it as his Crash Magic came into effect. Sage looked up, his eye showed curiosity. He grinned as he watched Glen bring his fist down and a large force rocked the landscape. A gigantic crater formed as Glen struck the floor, a large smoke cloud forming as well. He looked around, knowing full well the small mage had avoided his strike. “Get up, this ain’t over!” Cried Glen. He was Hurting…and pain, but raring to fight. From the Smokes Sage appeared with a smirk on his face. ‘You right…the night is young.’ ‘Please show me what you’ve still got!’ The two clashed again, while the party still raged on. ……..2 hours later………. Sage panted before he wiped the blood of his face. Glen was the same as him, but a little damaged as well. [color=a0410d]"Akuma-jū parusu (Deviled beast’s Pulse!)"[/color] Another powerful Pulse, taking the form of a black beast’s figure, swirled around Sage’s open palm before he shot it forwards. The attack roared as it spiralled towards Glen. The physically older man held out his hand and stopped the attack with a crash pulse before rocketing forward with a straight kick. The attack nailed Sage in the forearm as the Black haired mage had raised it to block the attack. He then grabbed the assaulting limb, causing Glen's eyes to widen, and slammed the him into the ground with enough force to crack the floor again. He repeated the action twice more before throwing him upwards. Sage flew upwards after his opponent and hovered above him before performing a series of front flips. Glen opened his eyes, having closed them from the pain he felt, and saw Sage's rotating form growing closer to him. [b]"Crash Magic: Break!"[/b] Sage's powerful axe kick made contact with Glen's fist and Sage hissed in pain as he felt the tibia bone break. Glen then grabbed Sage's broken leg, making the Black haired yelp in pain once more. He then held Sage's leg, gripping it so that it was straight as a board before slamming his rather sturdy skull against the knee cap. A loud crack echoed through the air as Sage's leg was broken at the knee. Gripping both legs by the ankles now, Glen began to do a series of front flips to build momentum as gravity took a hold of them. He slammed Sage into the earth making an imprint of the Black haired boy. A shock wave formed from the impact, but the different coloured eyed Nior recovered quicker than Glen expected, lashing out with his good leg and nailing the man in the chin. He rolled away as Sage pulled himself to his feet and sent a Demonic pulse his opponent's way. As the Raging attack distracted his opponent, Sage watched as a red glow surrounded his leg. The seal his Host gave him, due to its healing factor granting abilities, made things easier for the Black haired as he felt the bone snap back into place and the fractures heal within a matter of seconds. However, due to Glen mixing physical moves with his magic, the automatic defensive shield that often formed during his times when Bakuko tried to kill him, would not be able to form as a result. Sage looked up and saw Glen had already dealt with the Demonic pulse and was now charging forwards. Climbing to his feet, Sage feigned weakness in his previously broken leg, making Glen smirk. However, said smirk was suddenly replaced with open jaws. ‘Deception is something I'm rather good at, when you’re a mute’ He said with a toothy grin, similar to that of his sensei. The powerful kick from Sage's now healed leg suddenly found its way into Glen's chest causing spittle to fly from his mouth. The kick sent Avatar’s best through a wall and a few more rock pillars, it was amazing how the place wasn't crumbling. Or that anyone noticed. The Masked mage quickly got back up and saw Sage heading towards him at a fast pace. Glen ducked beneath the stab to his throat from Sage's jab before rising upwards and going into an uppercut. However, his eyes widened when he saw the image of Sage suddenly flicker and vanish as his hand passed through it. 'Thought Projection?! No...It’s an...' His eyes widened as Sage appeared in front of him once again, two spiralling spheres of magic forming in his palms. "An After Image...Don’t be fooled, as long as there’s shadows around me: [u][b]I'm the fastest on the ground![/b][/u]" Sage gave a dark toothy grin that sent chills down his foe's spine. Sage thrust his arms backwards and then forwards with great speed and strength. ‘Time to show you my Move, I Move I picked up a long time ago in the underworld!’ [color=a0410d]"DARK MATTER MAKE: DOUBLE RASENGAN!"[/color] Sage roared as he planted the two spheres into his enemy's stomach. The mage spiralled through the air, through even more Towers as well as another wall. It appeared that the battle between these two would move on throughout the castle with the way things were going. Both of them didn’t know which floor they were on! Glen caught the arm Sage aimed for his chest, a slight humming sound indicating that the demonic aura were surrounding his hand, hoping to impale his heart. The near bald haired man noticed the current blowing against his chest and noticed Sage was extending the length of the invisible blade. [b]"Crash Magic: Force!"[/b] A powerful force disrupted Sage's attack and slammed into him sending his head reeling backwards from it. He grabbed Sage and kicked off of him, sending Sage crashing into a pillar before slamming a kick into Sage's chest. A cough exited the mute’s mouth as the impact was devastating, sending him through another Pillar he had crashed into. Sage coughed up a glob of blood as the impact had ruptured his body. Sage quickly climbed to his feet and spit out what little blood was left in his mouth. Glen kicked away the broken chucks of stone with surprising strength, both surveying the damage they dealt one another. Glen had a numerous amounts of cuts from where the Pulse attacks Sage sent at him had managed to graze him as well as two large circular burise marks that Glen was currently clutching from when Sage hit him with the Double Rasengan strike. Sage, due to his healing factor, was not damaged whatsoever but the coughing fit he was currently undergoing showed that Glen's punch had done its work. The Black haired growled as he wiped away the blood that had accumulated in his palm, blowing it away with a gust of wind. "Tell me" Glen panted, "why...are you here?" Sage gingerly pulled out his notepad and wrote down is response. -That is none of your business. I was sent here for a mission. I will compete this mission, and I will crush anyone standing in my way." "Then if you are like this...why us? " Glen questioned once more. Sage silently growled as he pictured he remember Lily and Nya. -You have something I need, I doubt you would hand it over like that.- He said with a hard glare. Glen's eyes narrowed as Sage stepped towards him. -Enough talk, Avatar mage...it is time I crush you.-Sage wrote before vanishing in a blur of speed. Glen's eyes widened as the sonic boom reached his ears. 'How did he break the sound barrier? Is he really that fast?' He thought. His answer given to him in the form of a bone crunching kick to the spine causing his body to nearly fold in half from the force. The Black haired man rocketed forward, Sage running alongside his flying form before grabbing him out of the air and slamming him into the ground. The heavy man was surprised as Sage lifted him back up into the air with only one arm, his surprise replaced with the feeling of pain as he was punched in the stomach. A blow to the chin snapped his open mouth closed before an elbow greeted his chest. He was about to yell out in pain when a snap kick met his diaphragm, but a quick jab to the larynx silenced his cry. Sage then stepped forward, raising his elbow high and bringing it down on his red haired opponent's forehead, disorienting him before stepping forward, positioning his right leg between Glen's legs while placing his left leg ahead of him, placing it down behind the Ace of Avatar's right leg. Sage reached over, a vice-like grip wrapping itself around the Crash Magic user's throat. Using the momentum from his forward reach, Sage twisted his body and moved his gripping arm downwards. With his left leg having been placed behind Glen's right, the red haired mage's balance was thrown off allowing Sage to smash him into the ground. The impact was great enough to crack the earth. [color=a0410d]"Dark Matter Make: Rasengan!"[/color] Glen stared at the black and red orb of grinding magic energy as it hovered above him. His body seemed to freeze as Sage aimed to tear apart his face with it, time seeming to slow down for the Ace of Avatar. [b]“I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!”[/b] Glen screamed. Magic energy exploded out of him and shattered Sage's attack like it was glass and sent the young man flying back. Glen gripped the fist aimed for his throat before redirecting it and punching Sage in his face. Another punch followed sending Sage stumbling backwards. Glen followed up with a punch to the diaphragm, knocking the air out of Sage's lungs before twisting and crashing his elbow into the same spot. Sage's eyes widened as his lungs were deprived of air. A knee aimed to hit his chin, but the Mute Devil Slayer leaned backwards, avoiding the blow. Jumping back a few feet. Seeing his chance, Glen punched Sage in the ribs before spinning and sent a straight kick to the same area. The bones cracked and creaked from the follow up double kick he performed, but Sage raised his Defenses, making Glen halt his next kick and draw back his leg as Sage went to cut it off. Once he saved his limb, Sage took the shot to form a series of strikes to Glen, decorating his body with thin, yet numerous, slash marks. A forward kick slammed into the Ace of Avatar’s gut, but the dressed man refused to go flying, stamping his foot into the earth to hold his ground. Glen charged Crash Magic into his fists and spun on his heel and positioned his left arm above his right before letting both fists fly. The two strikes hit Sage in his stomach sending Sage skidding backwards as the black haired boy also refused to be lifted off of his feet again. Extending his Dark Matter spikes into the ground, Sage broke open the earth in an effort to stop his movement. After succeeding in doing so, he sped forth, but Glen jumped back, his eyes now used to Sage's high speed movement, as Sage went with the momentum of his movement and slammed an axe kick against Glen's shoulder. The ground suddenly burst apart, turning into a crater. Sage's eyes widened as he saw Glen's eye flash dangerously. 'He used his Crash Magic to break apart the earth and cushion my blow. A smart move, but not smart enough.' Sage backflipped as Glen reached to grab his limb before rocketing towards his foe. Said foe ducked out of reflex as he saw Sage reappear above him, but Sage suddenly moved downwards, showing Glen his demonic Aura were gone, now replaced with a Rasengan hovering over his right palm. [b][color=f26522]"Dark Matter Make: Big Ball Rasengan!"[/color][/b] "KUSO!" Glen cursed as he channelled Crash Magic into his raised arms and the attack met his limbs. However, the attack had so much power in it that it didn't even completely disperse upon contact causing the crater Glen had formed to expand in size as magic energy rocketed outwards from the spherical attack in a dome shape, and earth flew through the air as the Rasengan's blast radius scattered the pieces of debris. Glen skidded backwards, his clothes and skin covered with smoke, small burns and dust from Sage's attack, but the momentum from his movement caused his body to bend backwards and that coupled with the blast wave from the attack resulted in Glen becoming airborne, but he managed to stretch out his hands, digging his fingers into the ground and tore small trenches in the earth with them. When he finally came to a stop, he saw Sage was already heading towards him. Glen charged magic into his fist and punched the ground, crashing it causing a large slab of rock to rise up. Glen then spun and kicked the large piece of rock at Sage. However, before it even made contact with him, said mute had used raw physical strength to shatter the rock with a punch, but he was caught off guard as Glen had used the rock as a distraction and managed to score two punches to the face. The Voided Devil Slayer grunted in pain before Glen clasped his hands above his head, bringing them down on Sage's skull. The fact that he had loaded the blow with Crash Magic along with his own high level of physical strength caused a large crater to form from the attack as Sage met the ground, hard. A large shockwave resulted causing the cracked floor to become even more damaged, Giving way to both of them. And causing more towers collapsed. This was turning out to be a kill zone in a makeshift war zone. They Fell for a while before both hit another concreate floor with a thud. Sage grunted as he forced himself to his knees and then onto his legs. He continued to rise, albeit slowly, however a hard knee strike crashed into his chin, snapping his head upwards before Glen bent low. Pushing up through his knees, the momentum travelled upwards and a powerful uppercut slammed into Sage's body. The force caused his body to shake for a moment before he rocketed straight into the air, a pillar of White and silver indicating Glen had used his Crash Magic to enhance the power of his uppercut. Glen covered his eyes with his hand as he looked up at where Sage was going. His form getting smaller and smaller, however his eyes widened as Sage fell straight back down. It appeared as if Sage was dive bombing Glen Clive. The Masked mage quickly jumped back as he stared at the falling black haired boy's form. Sage's form slammed into the ground. However, the impact the mute made caused a large earthquake in the building to the result. The floor once again cracked and tore open; the area itself changed as pillars of stone and rose upwards, some areas forcing themselves downwards. The side walls were gone, doors bent back before snapping in two, scattering alongside the other fallen members of debris and to top it all off, a dome of dense black and red coloured magic energy rocketed outwards from the point of contact Sage made with the earth. All was silent for a seemingly endless period of time. There was still sound of clubbing in the far distance, but beside that, the sound of silence and the dread of the hollow feeling seep in. Then the silence was broken. The wind gently howled as Glen rose up, having nearly been flung back from the force of the earthquake and the dense magic dome. The giant plume of smoke rose into the air and Glen's eyes narrowed in an effort to see beyond the barrier that obscured the view of his opponent. Suddenly, as he was looking at the brown smoke, a pair of shining Yellow orbs stared back at him. Red and black wisps of magic stabbed through the thick cloud of smoke and dust before it dispersed to reveal Sage in all his glory. His Black hair was wilder than before with shades of Red colouring his hair, his Demonic Yellow eyes shining with the ferocity given to him by his Host. His fangs were bared, His hand were now black claws ready to tear flesh from bone. The aura of the Voided Devil slayer surrounded the S-class man of Lamia scale giving the feeling that Hell itself had arrived. [b][color=ed1c24]‘Unplug me now…..’[/color][/b] "...you are a Devil Slayer." Glen said, panting. Sage snarled at his opponent before taking off. Glen's eyes widened as Sage seemed to be moving faster than he had ever moved before. "What the...he's faster now?!" He gaped as he raised his arm, blocking the heavy blow to his skull. However, the ground cracked apart once more, causing his boot covered feet to sink into the earth. "So...heavy." He grunted as he tried to hold off his opponent's strike. Sage gave a roar and a pulse of black and red magic energy rushed out of his body, sending Glen flying backwards. The masked man managed to right himself, but a kick to the stomach met him just as quickly. Once more he was sent back, through the destroyed land, blood escaping his lips. He skidded backwards before slamming headfirst into a thick boulder. Clutching his painting nogging, the pained mage stood back up, a stream of blood moving from his skull and down his face. He looked back up to hear a large earth shattering sound. He cursed as Sage stood before him in a crater caused by his own landing. The mute Devil Slayer growled before holding up his left hand. The powerful magic of the Black beast coated the hand and took the shape of a clawed fist. Sage took off towards Glen who quickly charged Crash Magic into his own fist. He charged through the small space that separated himself from Sage and both limbs flew forth towards each other. A large, deafening boom followed by a devastating shockwave left the point of collision between the two powerful mages. The two struggled for dominance, but Sage snarled before channelling the magic of his host throughout his body in much larger quantities. Glen tried to match it, crashing the pure magic energy into mere particles of eternano, but the rate at which Sage was increasing his magic was becoming impossible to keep up with. In the end, Glen felt his arm being pushed back before the clawed fist of the Deviled beast's vessal plowed its away through to the man's body. “This feeling…where have I’ve felt it before!?” Time slowed down for Glen as he registered the act of being struck with the force that rivalled Avatar’s master's power, if not: Less. To make things simple, it was a very painful blow. Taking advantage of his lack of defensive capabilities, Sage lashed out. He punched Glen in the side, his ribs cracking. Another punch followed up to the stomach. Sage twisted and drove a straight kick into the same spot, blood continuously flew from Glen's mouth from the brutal strikes. A slash tore through his cloak, getting rid of it as the string tying it around his neck was torn through with ease. Along with the cloak being torn off, five slash marks appeared on the Ace of Avatar's chest leaving five deep gashes of crimson on his body. Blow after blow rained down upon the Ace of Avatar who barely managed to infuse his body with Crash Magic to lower the force of the blows and survive them. Sage punched Glen multiple times across the face before twisting and crashing an elbow into the black haired man's chest. Glen was about to fly back, but Sage had quickly reached out, thus denying the man the chance to get away by being sent flying. Sage then slammed his knee into Glen's gut before spinning around rapidly and crashing Glen into the ground. Glen grunted before lashing out with his legs and kicked Sage off of him. However, the Black tumbled through the air, slamming his feet against a Pillar before kicking off. Sage slammed into Glen, performing a Clothesline that sent both fighters to the ground. Glen snarled as he flipped their positions that he was now on top of Sage. He sent a flurry of punches down on Sage's face before slamming a hammer strike to the face. Sage roared in pain before releasing a pulse of magic power. Glen flipped as he landed and crossed his arms to block the axe kick that Sage tried to attack him with. Right Punch, Left Punch, Spin Kick, Roundhouse Kick, Uppercut, Headbutt, Left Hook, Right Hook, Left Elbow Strike, Spin Kick. The attacks clashed against one another one after the other. The attacks nullified each other as Glen's Crash Magic and Sage's Devil Slayer Magic collided. Shockwave formed after each collision, however Sage reversed his rotation and jumped up and spun in mid air sending out multiple kicks. Glen raised his arms to block the kicks, but the kicks were so numerous that they eventually broke through his guard. A spin kick landed against Glen's shoulder nearly causing his bone to break, but his body refused to break and so he merely flew through the air and through the edge of the castle. Sage roared as he broke through the side walls of the castle with a magic pulse revealing that the two opponents had indeed cleared the castles and were now free falling, now at the coastline of the Ice. Both Men stood crashed into the sea. Glen rose up from the salty seawater and coughed, His blood disappearing into the black lilted sea. A shroud of black and red magic coated Sage's leg. Glen coughed before stamping his leg on the ground. He crashed the water, sending a large pillar of the salty liquid at Sage. However, Sage's kick sliced through the waters before landing in Glen's previous position causing a large crater and a large amount of sea spray to sniffed the air as his foe was no longer in his field of vision. His eyes widened as Glen suddenly appeared behind him. Sage's arms became coated with the Devil Slayer magic, taking the shape of Large Claws. He quickly spun and Glen's eyes widened as his head was separated from his body. The body fell to the ground and Sage snarled in anger as he watched the body flicker out of existence. His speed coming into play again. [b]"Crash Magic: Force!" [/b]Sage's back was suddenly hit with a large amount of force causing his back to bend, nearly folding his body completely in half before he was sent flying through the air and skipping over the water. Sage righted himself only for Glen to send a grid shaped magic attack at him. [b]"Crash Magic: Dispersion!"[/b] Sage watched as cubes of water and sand were sent through the air. Sage cartwheeled out of the way of the dispersion attack only to see Glen fall towards him. The Crash Magic infused kick went towards him, but Sage's arms became similar to that the Scale of the black beast. The Defensive scale of pure devil magic energy extended towards Glen as Sage took on a defensive stance, but Glen's attack tore through the guard, crashing the magic into mere eternano particles. Sage's yellow eyes narrowed as he growled in bestial manner. He jumped and a loud shockwave occurred within the air and Glen's eyes widened as he saw Sage, his hand coated in magic, had caught his kick. Glen twisted, freeing his captured leg due to the rotation and slammed a powerful axe kick to Sage's skull. The Black rocketed downwards, but he twisted and inhaled deeply as Glen fell after him. Magic energy, black and red in colour, swirled within his jaws, his eyes shining brighter than before. He then inhaled deeply and condensed the magic energy within his lungs before rearing his head back. [color=a0410d]"Akuma-Ju no GEKIKO! (Devilled Beast’s rage)"[/color] The attack rocketed forth, the powerful roar of the Voided slayer screamed through the air, rising towards the Ace of Avatar. [b]"CRASH MAGIC: DISINTEGRATION!"[/b] Glen clasped both hands above his head and a powerful sphere of silver-Yellow magic energy coated his hands. He then brought them down against the attack and Glen grunted in effort as he felt resistance. Never had he met an attack so strong that he had to use one of his strongest spells. He gave a loud yell as he pushed forth, tearing through the Voided Devil Slayer's attack and towards Sage. Sage's eyes narrowed as he saw his attack being literally disintegrated. 'A powerful mage to have been found in Avatar of all places, if only the trio could see me now. They may have some promise after all...but you are dragging this on for far too long. I pledged to end you earlier Glen Harp broke...and I will carry out the task.' Sage growled before charging more magic into his rage. The attack grew larger and Glen was now slowing in his descent as his plowed through the attack. 'Kuso...just what kind of power does this brat have?!' Glen pushed more power into his fists and the demon's rage met with the disintegrating spell. Sage's eyes widened as he saw his attack was completely dispersed as he saw Glen began to punch away at it. Sage quickly jumped back as Glen slammed into the sands of Ice's coastline, causing a large crater. The mask wearing mage leaped out of his crater and twisted, driving a kick into Sage's chest sending him backwards, but Sage smirked as he went with the momentum, going into a backhand spring before planting his feet against the surface of a boulder, shattering said rock and causing a hole fall as he pushed off of it. His left fist became coated in magic energy that took the image of a demon’s head. The masked mage jumped backwards, landing within the surf as Sage's attack caused a giant pillar of sand to rise. The particles of silt and weathered rock fell back down, only for Sage to burst though. Glen's reflexes acted on autopilot as he avoided the wild, but strong and fast, slashes of his opponent. The hand strike landed against Glen's ribs, cracking three of them as he tumbled through the waters. He got back up only to counter with a crash infused punch to counter Sage's next attack. [color=a0410d]‘Dark Matter Make: Devilled Spears!’[/color] Twin spears of Devil Slayer magic formed in his hand, similar to that of sensei’s head, lashed out at Glen. His punch having dispersed the tails upon contact causing a large shockwave. He went into a backhand spring to avoid the kick Sage aimed at him only for Sage to take off as soon as he met the sea covered sands. He ducked and weaved through the slashes only for Sage to slam a knee to the stomach. The wind exited his lungs before Sage spun and crashed a powerful elbow strike to the skull sending him rolling backwards. Sage then coated his body with his demonic magic, the image of Bakuko: the Black beast of the Voided Heaven forming behind him, looming over the mute mage in a menacing fashion. ‘I will destroy you...Ace of Avatar.’ Sage snarled as he fell to all fours, as if he were an animal. He then took off towards his foe and raised his arm, coating it in Devil Slayer Magic. "DIE!" Glen cursed as he raised his arm in a desperate attempt to block the strike. 'The attack is like something familiar, but what!?, it just hits with great force and doesn't cut.' Glen reassured himself, but his hypothesis was proven false as he felt his arm suddenly feel lighter and red splashed across his vision. Sage had cut through Glen's forearm. The dark eyed Ace of Avatar stepped backwards as Sage held the piece of his arm in his blacked hand before crushing it with his magic. The Blood splattering everywhere. [img]http://images5.fanpop.com/image/answers/2888000/2888678_1342667390447.38res_300_400.jpg[/img] Glen screamed in pain as blood gushed from the limb, turning the clear waters crimson. The fact that some of the waves managed to touch the wounded limb didn't help due to the fact that the salt in the water made it burn. Glen's continued to cry out in pain before Sage grinned widely. ‘Allow me to help you with that.’ Sage chuckled darkly before speeding towards the masked man and sliced off the remaining piece of the arm at the shoulder. The entire left arm began to burn from the intensity of Sage's magic. Glen continued to yell out in pain, though it was unfortunate that no one would be able to hear him as Sage went for the final blow. The claws of the Devil slayer stabbed forth towards Glen's heart, but the physically older man reacted just in time. He punched Sage's hand with his right fist and diverted the strike, but the spear-like motion swerved, aiming downwards and to the left once more, impaling itself through the thigh muscle of Glen's left leg. He howled in pain as Sage roared with the ferocity of a beast and in a powerful horizontal motion, Sage withdrew the limb cutting through Glen's leg and made it useless as it hung by nothing more than a few hundred strands of muscle fibre. Glen coughed up a glob of blood, and the mass of red blood cells had struck Sage in the face. The Apocalypse Devil Slayer roared as he cupped water and doused his face, trying to cleanse it of the blood that blinded him. Glen saw his chance. 'I might not get a chance like this again and I may not kill him, but at least I'll live to tell the tale.' Glen thought as he charged his magic into his fist. He gave a loud shout just as Sage's head snapped up, cleansed of blood. Sage twisted to avoid the strike, but Glen still managed to make contact. [b]"CRASH MAGIC: SHATTER!"[/b] Sage roared in pain as Glen's crash magic infused fist met his shoulder. The sound of bone cracking and splintering met his enhanced hearing. If one could look inside Sage's body, they would see the entire shoulder joint had been crushed and lengthy, jagged cracks formed on his humerus, extending all the way to his radius and ulna. The left arm of Sage Ruzuzaki had been broken to the point that it would take at least more than week to heal even with his enhanced healing factor. [b]"CRASH MAGIC: FORCE!"[/b] Glen's magic was nearly running on empty so it was the best attack he could manage. He punched Sage in the chest and the Black haired boy's Yellow eyes widened as he felt the force enter his body and even going so far as to extend past his body and resulted in a shockwave that sent water everywhere. Sage snarled as he felt his body flying through the air, but before he went down he managed a final strike. Despite taking Glen's limbs, Sage wanted to leave another mark. He lashed out with his claws, extending them and raking them across Glen's chest. The five claw marks going from his left pectoral to his bottom right abdominal muscle. Glen released another cry of pain before the adrenalin and the blood loss caught up with him. He fell into the waters and red surrounded him. Sage crashed into the rocks near the shoreline, leaving an imprint of his body in the stone. He coughed up a large amount of blood before falling to his knees as he fell away from the rock. He coughed a few more times, more blood expelling from his body before clutching his chest with his right hand. He looked down at his chest to see a neat hole in the shirt as well as a large red spot that would surely remain on his body till the end of time. Sage released one final roar before the Devil Slayer magic left his system, his blue irises and pupils returning as the pure Yellow glow of his eyes left him. “ha….ha….ha” The young Ruzuzaki stared at the fallen form of Glen as he drifted out on sea. ‘That……was so cool….Hana, Jeanne…..How to fuck do you like me now!?’ despite not been able to kill him, the damage was done…for a Mage of Avatar to be this powerful, the mute mage could only think how strong the guild master was. [u][b][color=ed1c24]“Excellent Fight kid, you used my magic like the way I trained you.”[/color][/b][/u] Bakuko smiled ‘Relax for awhile…[u][b][color=ed1c24]I’ll use my magic to heal anything, but it’ll take awhile…he did shatter your shoulder-“[/color][/b][/u] “Yeah…..please do.” Using little energy he had left, sage dragged his beating body to a nearby rock, leaning back he closed his eye, letting the snow cover his body as the devil started repairing this body. ‘You're useless to me Ruzuzaki….don't come near me anymore Weakling.’ ‘Heh…you couldn't do half the shit I just did, Erina.’ He smirked to himself as he entered into a short powernap. The Endoline was approaching: there was the guild master to take care of. But anything with half the destruction of Avatar’s building… The fight would bring the house down. ………. 2 hours later……. 3 ½ hours till morning (Sage has entered the beginning of the one week timeskip) Sage Groaned as he slowly opened his eyes, the pain of the last fight still linger, it wasn’t as much. ‘Sensei…’ [u][b][color=f7976a]“I've got good news and bad news”[/color][/b][/u] the beast spoke [u][b][color=ed1c24]“The good news that Your body is 85% healed…aside from your left arm…that needs more time.”[/color][/b][/u] Sighing he took a deep breath [color=ed1c24][u][b]“the bad news it: The Party is over…that Hannah chick you fucked? She’s put the whole guild on alert and the guild master is looking for you. You and the masked dude did put on quite a show.”[/b][/u][/color] ‘Right…’ Sage face palmed himself slowly as he wiped the snow of him, gingerly he stood up, grunt thought the pain he looked around…Glen was nowhere do be seen. ‘Speaking of missing, where the heck is Lily?’ Sage started walking through the snow, it was coming down heavily. At the edge of the coastline he looked back to see part of the castle destroyed, on further inspection: he could see men and Women run past, mostly trying to catch him. ‘I still need to retrieve that item…’ Sage winched at the coldness nipped at his wounds, the beast promised it would heal, the pain still lingered. Not to mention that is left arm was nowhere near in working condition. ‘There only one way to go….’ Looking at a shadow the forest Sage Amberley walked into it, initiating his [u][color=92278f]Shadow jump[/color][/u]. ………….. Back in Avatar guild. Taking a step back, Sage's eyes widened as he stood on a rafter, down below he could see the destruction he made: Holes were everyone and not on pillar of standing. But the strangest thing was: not a single guard was here. Nodding, Sage turned his gaze to his shoulders. Looking over again to see anyone was coming he jumped down and crouched low, ‘Alright, time to finish this once and for all.’ [color=ed1c24][u][b]"Agreed."[/b][/u][/color] Not waiting for anything more, Sage quickly channelled some magic to his feet and rapidly ascended the wall, grabbing on the objects as he scaled the outside building, not wanting to fight anyone, he opted for a riskier move. Reaching the top, he peeked over the edge and looked around. His eyes widened as he saw a single door in the middle of the large roof. Checking to see that there were no other people, Sage slipped over onto the slanted wood and ran over to the door. It was attached to a box no taller than the door was, but only the depth of a single person. Seeing no handle, Sage reached for his pocket and fished for something, he knew this would come in handy one day. ‘Bingo!' He pulled out a bit of wire and slipped it into the crack opposite of the hinges. Running it up and down, he found the resistance of the latch. Pulling it out, he bent the wire around in the shape of a 'U' and threaded it back in and around the latch. When it poked back out at him, Sage grabbed it and began rubbing the wire back and forth against the metal. Once that was done, Sage pocketed the wire and gently pried open the door with a clawed hand. There was a handle on the inside of the door so Sage guessed this was some form of an escape route. Opening it wider, Sage looked in to see a ladder descending down into the bowels of the building. Making sure everything was secure; he gripped the first bar and began lowering himself down head first, anchoring himself to the ladder with chakra as he descended. The exit route wasn't very long, but it was quite dark. For most of the way, Sage had to rely on his sense of touch to climb down until his hands touched on what felt like a trap door. This was also made of wood and had a rusted latched to the right hand side. Grasping it, Sage gently pulled and was relieved to find it opened inward. Shifting his head over to the side, he peered through the crack that had appeared and checked everything in sight. So far, it looked like a simple wooden room, completely empty of any ornaments. No people were in there either so he gently pulled the door open further. Resting it on the side wall, Sage carefully lowered his head through the hole and checked around. The sound of some much muffled voices reached his ears, but from the monotone rumble, Sage could tell they were several thick walls away at least. Like he had first seen, there was absolutely nothing in the room. The only defining thing of it was the old door that hid in the shadows of the corner. Checking once more for any surveillance material, Sage let himself drop silently to the floor and instantly ran to the darkest corner of the room. Counting to one hundred, Sage started edging for the door, now fairly confident that no one was going to come rushing in. Grasping the handle, Sage pulled it open but froze when the hinges creaked. The door was already halfway open however and as such, Sage squeezed through the gap and into the hall beyond. Sticking close to the ground, Sage ran down the featureless corridor, eyes and ears wide open for the tiniest of movements or sounds. Nearing a door towards the end of the hall, Sage slowed up and frowned. There sounded like some faint footsteps disappearing as whoever owned them seemed to run away. Peeking under the door, Sage saw that the room was dimly lit and what looked like the legs of a table and some ratty chairs were close to the centre of it. Pushing the door open, Sage looked around and crawled in. There was some abandoned food scraps and a couple of empty mugs on the badly stained table top, the food half chewed and still reasonably warm. Looking to the open door on the opposite side of the room, Sage quickly moved to it and looked in. Yet another hallway led away, the dust all having been disturbed by the recent flurry of activity. A muffled shout from somewhere deep down the hall reached Sage's ears and he frowned. It sounded aggressive and challenging, so Sage could only guess they were out to attack someone. Hearing a boom follow up fairly soon after, the blond widened his eyes. It had to be someone they had found. ‘Could be Lily?’ Giving up most forms of stealth, Sage slipped past the door and started running towards the noise. Several open doors lined the hallway, all looking like they had just been abandoned for the attack. Sliding into a right hand, ninety degree corner, Sage stopped and was confronted by a strange looking man. "Oi, how did you get in here?" Not quite sure if he was friend or foe, Sage readied himself. He only shrugged. The Cons of being a Mute. The man then rolled his yellow eyes and grabbed Sage's jacket. "Well don't just stand there you moron! We've got to go catch this guy!" Completely bewildered, Sage let himself be dragged along as the man fumed to himself. Looking around as they passed the last abandoned room, Sage turned his gaze back to his guide. Writing a Note he passed it him. –So, what is going on?- Casting Sage an incredulous look, the man growled. "Where the hell have you been? The alarm was sounded over an hour ago! It seems like Intruders from god know where is running amok in our home!" Stumbling as the man wrenched him around another corner, Sage heard another boom, much closer than the last. Coming to a set of stairs, they rapidly descended them and came into what looked like the storehouse on the first floor. Looking over to the noise, Sage saw Lily surrounded by what looked like one hundred to one hundred and fifty mages, all trying to coordinate an attack on the Blonde woman. Finally bringing up the rear, the fellow dropped his hand from Sage's chest and tapped a powerful looking man on the shoulder. "Sir, sorry for making you wait. I found a straggler and brought him down." "Hmmph?" Turning, the massive man looked over his shoulder, first at the guide, then at Sage. His eye widened and he turned fully to the guide and pointed an accusing finger at Sage. "WHO THE HELL IS HE? HE'S NOT APART OF THE GUILD!" -lol.- Near deafened by the roar, the comparatively small man turned to look at Sage. "You're not?" Sage shrugged. –This is the Avatar guild, right?- The man started sweating as the mountain behind him began to bear down on him. "C-correct?" A mighty kick then caught the man in the seat of his pants and he was sent rocketing through the roof high above with an almighty scream. Looking up, Sage whistled at his rapid departure. -Nice kick you got there~- The huge man grunted and cracked his knuckles. "Sorry, he was new so obviously didn't know to kick your ass when he saw you." -Say what?- Sage then cried out as the man jumped forward, his surprising speed not at all hampered by his size. Diving into a side roll, Sage avoided the strike and looked up. The man had already turned and was charging in again. Thinking on his feet, Sage raised both hands and caught the incoming haymaker. Using his own strength against him, Sage let himself be sent into a long backflip, his feet coming through and catching the man twice in the jaw. The first foot snapped his jaw shut with a painful snap and the second sent him sprawling away and into the group he had just broken formation from. Landing in a crouch, Sage looked over to see now a good dozen eyes trained on him. "..." A cry sounded out and suddenly Sage had to contend with over ten men trying to incapacitate him. Weaving to the side, Sage grunted unhappily as an unsuspected blow caught him in the middle of his shoulders, luckily his good one. Dodging the various magical and physical attacks wasn't really an option when they were raining down on him from all directions. Dropping to the ground as a blade of something sailed over his head, Sage growled and then rolled to the side as a spear smashed down where his stomach used to be. Seeing a foot within reach, Sage lashed out a hand and grasped the limb. Rolling again onto his back, Sage brought his arm around in a wide arc, the man screaming as the mute’s superior strength sent him flying through his comrades. Flipping to his feet, Sage backed up against a wall and checked out his opponents. The group that had just been knocked down were getting back up as well as more coming to join in on the attack. Hearing a boom, Sage looked up and saw a massive plume of dust along with several screaming men being sent spiralling into the air. Deciding to step things up, Sage levelled his gaze at his attackers and grinned. -Come on then! Bring it!- The group suddenly paused in their slow approach and all the men and women widened their eyes as Sage got into combat. Sage laughed. ‘What happened? Where did all your steam go?’ No one moved, so Sage shrugged and grinned a little more evilly at them. ‘No takers? Fine then, I'll go first. Try keep up.’ Exploding into action, the S-class mage blurred into the mages. The actual attack lasted less than three seconds as the Sage's ploughed through them. Bodies went flying in all directions as near invisible kicks and punches broke through hastily constructed guards. Sliding a fist into the face of the last man, Sage paused and looked around as his target was sent careening across the massive room. His clones had all fanned out and were now in a perfect semicircle around him in various attack poses as men rained down around them. Seeing the group all turn their gaze to him, Sage nodded appraisingly and basked in the moment of his awesomeness. Damn he looked cool. He was broken from his moment of glory when what looked like a paper star was thrown at his head, causing it to explode. Doing little damage he turned around with a dark expression on his face. A weedy little thing that threw that instantly started sweating bullets when he was locked on. Not even trying to attack, he turned tail and fled. ‘No you don’t!’ a strong hand clasped his shoulder, the tiny man looked around with fear in his eye as Sage grinned darkly as he handed him a piece of paper. -Come, now: Let’s be ‘Friendly~’- ……………. Somewhere in Avatar’s ruined building. [img]http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120513113946/elderscrolls/images/a/a3/TESV_Ragged_Flagon_Cistern.png[/img] The door opened as Sage walked into the room with new vigour, the tiny man was nice enough to show him the way to the guild masters room. ‘To think that he would have this type of room.’ The black haired boy mused before he saw someone standing in the middle. [img] http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/011/8/9/persona_4_arena__akihiko_sanada_by_shiroufox-d5r7e4e.png[/img] “SO you're the one who's been causing havoc for me and my guild members.” he spoke lightly as his red cape swished. “not to mention that Glen was defeated by you, I am seriously impressed.” He turned around as glared hard at Sage “But as the Guild master of Avatar: I will have you take responsibility, you will forfeit your life here before the sun rises!” “I am Akashi Toradoor, The guild master of Avatar and one of the 3rd seat of Ice region’s Black Knights!” [img] http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120726014110/megamitensei/images/8/87/Akihiko_Idle_P4Ugif.gif[/img] “Your loss will come! As well as your life!” Sage cracked his neck and Knuckles, he was more than ready to fight. He was lucky that none of his Lamia friends where there, He was keeping his true skills away for a reason. [img] http://img-cache.cdn.gaiaonline.com/aaa01a3031bab98422be4b62fb0f33ee/http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h230/Ninja-Inu_Uchiha/ragna-stance.gif[/img] ‘Just bring it.’ “I WILL KILL YOU!" Akashi roared as he charged forwards 'They Say a dragon is lethal when awoken rudely…I’d say: Never mess with a Legendary Demon Slayer!' The image of Bakuko sprung up behind Sage as his magic power was released to its highest capacity in Sage's initial DeS state. A burst of killing intent and magic power crashed against the one that Akashi Toradoor was releasing. The Guild master stared at the Slayer with clenched fists raised, his veins bulging. His eyes closed as he recalled a passage from a scripture book he read many years ago. Akashi's eyes snapped open and his large finger pointed itself at the Voided Demon slayer. "You are Bug that need to die! I will crush your head!" ‘You can try, Guild master, but you will never hold victory over me! I have never lost and I do not plan to anytime soon!’ ‘Titles are Meanness to me! Power is the only badge I need!' Sage dropped down on all fours and his yellow eyes shone brightly. ‘SO COME AKASHI! LET ME SHOW YOU THE POWER OF A DEMON ON A MISSION!’ With a roar, both combatants charged towards one another. What was the result of this fight. Left the entire Castle of Avatar: it’s city. [img] http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs46/f/2009/218/8/a/Another_destroyed_city_by_noahbradley.jpg[/img] In Rubbles. ……………………1 hour till sunrise……………. The gargantuan fist of the guild master clashed against the magic made claws of the Voided Devil Slayer. The shock wave that occurred was enough to cause the earth to shake and nearby windows shattered and/or cracked. The ground caved inward from the force of the collision between the two cataclysmic forces and massive crater formed beneath both Devil Slayer and Guild master. The two held their own, trying to overpower the other, but Akashi proved to be the physically stronger of the two as his larger form and muscle mass allowed him the ability to force his adversary into the ground. Sage gritted his teeth as he pushed against Akashi's fist, the flesh of the Titan leaking blood as the knuckles of the Titan were impaled by the magic claws, but Akashi ignored the pain and powered through. ‘So he has Titan magic huh…..’ Sage though ‘Where have I seen that….’ "FALL YOU DEMON!" Akashi roared. Sage's Yellow eyes widened as he felt the resisting forces vanish and he was pushed back. Sage glanced back and watched the ground as he neared it. The ground shook once more and a small dust cloud erupted from the impact Akashi's fist made with the grounds. Akashi's eyes glowed as he held his fist on the ground, but his eyes widened as he felt resistance. Hidden by his massive fist, Sage's feet were planted firmly on the ground and had his arms, glowing with the magic of his teacher, pushing back against the gargantuan limb. The ground beneath him was nothing but a crater and it was only through pure strength that he was able to keep himself from being smashed. His arms were trembling as he used a great amount of strength to keep himself from being flattened. Akashi Toradoor really was powerful and worthy of his title as a Black Knight. ‘I've come too far to fall here, Avatar’s Black knight! DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE ME!’ With a roar, Sage pushed the fist aside where the ground caved in once more. He then crouched down on all fours and his Devil Slayer magic erupted from his body in the form of a Red-black, shadow-like aura. His Yellow eyes shone brilliantly. He knew Akashi Toradoor was indeed a mighty opponent. The wind rushed past his ears and through his wild Black hair as he neared his target with ferocious speed. He began to front flip to build up momentum, but Akashi's glowing eyes saw the rapidly approaching object. The guild master bent his head low and met Sage's powerful kick with a head-butt. Sage grunted as the large skull countered the force of his blow and pushed him back. A giant shadow formed over his body and Sage found a terrific force impact with his body. Akashi had used his hand that wasn't in contact with the ground beneath him and slammed it down on Sage as if he were an insignificant fly. The Attack sent to boy flying out of Avatar's main building, Akashi followed him. Sage tumbled through the air towards the ground, but managed to right himself and flew out of the way of the punch that had followed after him. He then flew towards the arm and raised his arms high into the air as they became coated in magic in the shape of claws. He dragged them along Akashi's arm and six lines of blood were formed as Sage ran along Akashi's arm and carved the Titan's flesh like a freshly cooked turkey. Akashi released a cry of pain and shook his arm to get Sage off. The Black mage stumbled from being shaken and instead of falling, he leaped into the air and stretched out his arms while spinning. [color=a0410d]‘Dark Matter Make: Devilled Spears!’ [/color]A spear-like tail made of dark energy sprouted out of Sage's Hand and sliced through the air, aiming to slash into Akashi's flesh. The Black Knight then decided to duck beneath the attack and with a loud battle cry, he let his fist fly. Sage's eyes widened and crossed his arms in front of his body. Magic fuelled his muscles and reinforced his bones, but the pain was still present. The cry that elicited from his throat was music to Akashi's ears and time seemed to slow down as the impact registered with Sage's body. And then he flew. Right to the next building. Sage was sent rocketing through the air from the force of the punch. He bounced across buildings, crashed through multitudes of chimneys and skidded along the tiles of roofs and sent them every which way as his momentum removed them from their original positions. As he rolled along a roof, he twisted his body to right himself and dug his claws into the concrete of the top of the building he was currently atop of. His claws carved ten straight lines into the thick stone and a pair of trenches marked the path of his feet as he dug his boots into the roof as well. The Black Devil Slayer gritted his teeth as he focused on stopping and finally friction came through for him. He slowed down and then came to a stop. He panted as he felt his entire body throb from the pain it was experiencing and he rose to his feet. He looked down at himself and snarled as he saw his cloak had been torn in many places from ripping through the roof tiles and breaking through buildings. A line of blood escaped his burst lip and another escaped from his skull. With a growl he wiped away the red liquid of life and felt his teacher's seal beginning to heal his wounds. However, as he glanced up, his glowing eyes widened when he noticed something. He was extremely far away from his original location. The Main building had stood in the centre of the massive town of Valdosta and Akashi's punch had struck him with a great amount of force, but to think it was that powerful to bring him all the way to the edge of the town was practically astounding. The gargantuan form of Akashi turned to face him and with an audible grunt of disapproval at seeing his adversary still standing, Akashi turned his entire body and began to walk. The ground trembled with each step, but then the steps quickened. Akashi was now beginning to break out into a jog, but the steps continued to increase in amount until finally, the Titan of Avatar broke out into a run. Sage growled as he stamped his feet into the roof that stood at the edge of the town and glared at Akashi's rapidly approaching form. ‘YOU WANT TO FIGHT?!’ Sage motioned him, calling out to the glowing eyed giant before hovering in the air. 'LET'S GO!' "I WILL END YOU" Akashi declared before swiping his hand across the roof of the building and the roof was completely obliterated. Akashi's eyes narrowed as he saw no sign of the Devil slayer flying through the air from his strike. He quickly diverted his attention to the building below him and released a mental sigh of relief when he saw the building was empty and abandoned. "No one got hurt." He muttered as he placed his hand on his chest. "Devilled beast’s Claws!" Akashi's eyes widened as he heard the voice of the Apocalypse Devil Slayer. He glanced over his shoulder and cursed when he saw the attack was already in motion. He managed to twist enough of his body to avoid the strike to his spinal column, but the claws still crashed into the muscle beside it. Sage slammed the claws down and they cut deeply into Akashi's flesh, or at least as deep as one would be able to cut a massive giant whose body was composed of hard muscle and then a massive force rippled through Akashi's body. The Titan's body stumbled forward from the force of the strike and his bare foot caught itself on the boundary that marked the town's limits. Akashi tripped over the wall and fell atop the grass covered ground that lay beyond Valdosta, but Akashi went forward with the fall and rolled on the ground before rising back up to his feet and then clapped his hands together and a mighty shockwave raced through the air. Sage vanished into the wind before the shockwave managed to reach him and then reappeared behind Akashi for another claw strike, but Akashi expected that. "The same trick will not work twice, boy." Akashi snarled before striking with a devastating backhand blow. Sage flew through the air and crashed into the stone walls and three of the pillars toppled to the ground. Sage growled as he looked to see Akashi leap into the air, his massive form bearing down on him. Sage quickly reacted and flew out of the way of the original point of impact, but the force of the Titan's impact was enough to generate a gargantuan shockwave that sent the Black haired mage tumbling through the air and an equally large crater formed beneath the Toradoor's feet. Sage jumped above the trees and then raised his arms, coating them with magic energy.He reared back his arms before bringing them forward with a massive amount of force. [color=a0410d]"Devilled Beast’s Pulse!" [/color]He pushed the air as a harsh and a massive force of magic flew forth at Akashi. The Titan of Avatar raised his arms and took the attack head on. Akashi's massive frame kept him in place, but the speed of the winds that ran past his body left thin lines on his muscular arms and one formed beneath his right eye. Akashi clapped his hands together once more and a massive shockwave tore the landscape asunder, but Sage flew above the shockwave. When the multitude of trees were uprooted and fell to the ground, Akashi reached down and picked up a number of them and held them as if they were darts. With a battle cry, Akashi threw the giant stones at Sage in rapid succession. Sage quickly barrel rolled to avoid the first one before going into a loop-de-loop as two more followed after. Another was directly in his face, but Sage spun his body around like a drill and reduced the rock into pebbles by released of brute strenght. Sage then continued to fly forth as he saw three more pillars rocket towards him. Sage held out his hands and the magic responded to his will. Sage thrust his hands back and the demonic energy were forced through the air as a large pressurized blast of speeding air currents flew forth. [color=a0410d]"Pulse!"[/color] Sage called out and a large hand made of wind crashed into the trees and obliterated them. The final Stone was then pelted through the air and Sage's eyes narrowed at Akashi's massive form. He would not be bested by this human. By any human. Not now...not ever! The Black Knights went into a front flip as he flew towards the tree and then lashed out with a straight kick. Red and black magic energy coated his entire leg and a large shockwave rocketed out from the point of impact as the limb made contact with the piece of a inorganic object. ‘Fine then, that’s it!’ Sage cocked his right arm back before a massive amount of Red and black aura whirled around his arm. [img] http://38.media.tumblr.com/cb5041f161422df5763a21368569204e/tumblr_mz92n2M4Mm1rw3pzao2_500.gif[/img] [u][b][color=ed1c24]‘PULSE: REJECTION!’[/color][/b][/u] Sage used an impressive amount of strength and the Giant Boulder reversed direction and Akashi's eyes widened as he saw his weapon was sent straight back at him. Akashi punched the tree and shattered it apart before racing towards his opponent again. The giant raced across the landscape out of Valdosta and aimed a kick at Sage, but the smaller combatant spiralled around the assaulting limb only to suddenly find himself caught up in the large gust of wind that was generated when Akashi spun around on his heel to drop a massive axe kick down on him. Luckily for Sage, the gust of wind from Akashi's rotation served to aid him as the winds pulled him out of the way of the attack and another crater marred the earth below when the Titan of Avatar’s heel met ground zero. Taking advantage of the missed blow, Sage flew up and reared back his fists before striking Akashi's face, more specifically his nose. A loud CRACK echoed through the air as the cartilage snapped in two. The bridge of Akashi's nose had been broken from the relatively powerful blow and blood leaked from the man's nostrils. Akashi grunted as he grabbed his nose and snapped it back into place with an equally large CRACK sound before swatting around at Sage as if he were fly. Sage manoeuvre around the strikes and kicked Akashi's nose once more and this time, the nose was broken with no chance of forcibly fixing it back into place as more blood gushed from his nostrils and required the Black Knight to breathe through his mouth lest he suffocate due to inhaling his own blood. However, as Sage circled around Akashi's body to strike once more, the man attacked much faster than one would expect for a fighter. Sage rocketed down towards the ground as he was struck down by the downward palm strike from Akashi's other hand. A crater formed from the impact Sage made with ground and he grunted as began to rise to his feet. His Yellow eyes widened however when he was forced back down to the ground by the massive fist that fell atop his body. A second punch followed. Then a third, a fourth and the number kept increased. Sage released cry after cry of pain as the punches of the giant impacted with his body and it was only the durability of XXXXXXXXXXXXX of training with a Demon like Bakuko that kept him from being broken apart like a piece of glass. Sage then raised his hands and unleashed large claws dipped in blood from them both and stabbed them into Akashi's knuckles once more. Akashi grunted in pain as he felt the claws cut into the metacarpal bones of his massive hands. Sage saw his chance when Akashi halted his attack due to the pain of his counterattack. He quickly got up and popped his dislocated right shoulder back into place and hissed in pain as he felt his bones mending back together. The Mute mage leaped into the air before vanishing into the wind. Akashi quickly raised his arms to cover his face and upper body. Akashi grunted in pain as he felt the Demonised claws slash into his body, cutting into the muscle, but due to them being tensed, they didn't get very deep to cause any significant damage. It still hurt like hell though. Sage then reappeared as if out of nowhere, accompanied by a gust of wind, atop a tree in kneeling position with his arms crossed. Akashi raised his arms high above his head and clenched his hands into fists and with a mighty roar, he threw them down. The ground shook as if an earthquake had hit and the earth was torn asunder. Sage was caught off-guard by the sudden attack and he feel from his perch only to be caught within the tight grip of Akashi Toradoor. The Black Knight of Avatar began to squeeze and Sage huffed and wheezed as he felt his lungs being constructed by the guild master's grip. "You have brought fear into my family's hearts and you shed their blood without any form of remorse!" Akashi bellowed. "Why must you only bring such misery to my guild?!" Sage's eyes widened at Akashi's words and his glowing Yellow orbs seemed to dim as they were processed in his mind. But that surprise was soon replaced by rage. ‘It was one person!’ Sage roared silently. Akashi's glowing eyes gained a perplexed look, but the Gray orbs soon became filled with surprise when Sage's magic exploded out of his body as the Black ahired boy roared in anger. "I met your so-called Strongest mage and gave them the opportunity to flee, he did not take it!" Sage's magic burst freed him from Akashi's grip and the Titan of Avatar soon found his adversary missing from his hands. His head then snapped upwards from the force of the kick that impacted with his chin. A punch crashed against his cheek with enough force to send his head facing to the directly to the right. Akashi snarled and made a chopping motion with his hand, but Sage flew up to avoid the blow. "ENOUGH!" Akashi yelled. ‘I met your so-called Ace!’ Sage bombarded Akashi's body with blows to the face that sent the giant stumbling back from the force. He slashed Akashi's chest with a fury of Swipes and left an X-shaped wound that stretched from the pectorals to the lower obliques before jumping forth and crashing a devastating magic infused blow to the diaphragm. 'It was His own damned fault for your Ace, Glen Harp Brok, to meet his end by my hands!' Akashi raised his arms and slammed them down on the ground as his attack missed his primary target and a crater was formed once more and the landscape was beginning to change from the titanic battle that was taking place. Akashi released a roar of anguish as he slammed his fists against Sage's body. Sage held out his arms and pushed against the massive limbs, but then he felt the momentum slow when he saw Akashi's face stained with tears and his focus on the fight decreased a bit. Sage quickly dove beneath the horizontal chop that his adversary aimed at him. He coated his right arm with black and red magic energy and the magic energy fashioned itself into the image of the Black Beast of the Voided Heaven’s head, fangs bared. The Black haired mage then ran at high speeds and the sound barrier broke behind him as he neared his target. Akashi lashed out at Sage with a kick, but Sage flew around the massive leg and manipulated the coming shadows to give him an even larger boost in speed. He vanished into the wind and another boom was heard. Sage reappeared beneath Akashi's head and with a roar, crashed a powerful uppercut to the chin. "Take This!" Akashi's head snapped upwards from the blow before it was slapped to the side as Sage attacked with again and slammed both fists against the master of Avatar's right cheek. The muscular man roared and swatted at Sage, but the Black Devil Slayer avoided the Titan's attack and circled around before dive bombing the gray haired guild master. As he fell towards his opponent, he flipped rapidly to build up even more momentum. When he found he built up enough momentum, the Devil Slayer of Bakuko struck and slammed a dual axe kick to the skull. And with that blow, Akashi stumbled backwards before his body began to tilt. With a resounding crash that shook the very earth, the Titan of Avatar, the immovable fortress of a mage had been moved and collided with the earth beneath him. Akashi grunted from the force of the blow and raised himself up from his grounded position. His glowing eyes narrowed with rage as he looked at Sage who was hovering above him. The Devil Slayer panted as he had put a lot of effort and force into the attack. 'A blow like that would normally destroy a person's skull and even if it were something more durable it still would have cracked their skull open!' Sage clenched his fists in annoyance. 'So why are you unharmed...why do you rise once more, Akashi Toradoor?!' Deciding to vent his frustrations, Sage sped towards his downed opponent and Sage crashed down on Akashi's abdominal area and Akashi grunted as he felt the impact. The blow was felt by Akashi and the man countered by slapping Sage aside with a massive hand. Sage tumbled through the air and slammed into a tree. Akashi ran towards Sage's location as he saw the tree shudder from the impact the Grey eyed mage made with it. The tree was kicked through the air and Sage flew through the air with the piece of vegetation and suddenly a massive shadow encompassed his form and he was then forced to the ground by Akashi's gargantuan foot. Sage coughed up a large glob of blood as he felt his body being compressed by the force of the strike. Akashi then drove his foot further down into the ground and began to drag it along, carving a large trench with his foot as he carried Sage's smaller body along. When he felt he was good and ready, Akashi raised his foot as if he were kicking a football and Sage's bleeding visage tumbled through the air once more and he released a stifled cry of pain when he slammed into the side of a mountain, trapped within the deep imprint he left in it. The impact was great enough to send a crack that descended from his point of impact to the ground below and then some. Akashi then reared back his fist as he charged forwards. Sage raised his head and watched as Akashi's form neared him, speeding towards the mountain with an intent to smash him into a bloody smear against the side of the mountain. But Sage would have none of it. His eyes shone brilliantly as Akashi was literally right about to smash him and then the Black released a massive amount of magic energy in a single, epic burst that made the earth below and the mountain shake. The earth split apart and a nearby mountain shuddered before its side began to crack apart. A large landslide formed as the mountain's damaged form began to crumble. Akashi released a cry of pain as the large boulders fell atop his body. One nailed him in the head and cracked his skull a bit so that a stream of blood flowed down from his scalp and over his right eye. The Titan of Avatar raised his arms as the rest of the former mountainside began to collapse atop of him and Sage. Sage fell from his imprint in the mountain as his magic energy expulsion made him fall to the ground below alongside the rocks that once made up the mountainside. The black cloaked mage twisted his body and managed to flip so he could land without breaking anything. He coughed as he quickly, but shakily, rose to his feet and the shadows of the boulders covered his body. His Yellow eyes widened before the boulders collided with everything that lay below them. The landslide lasted no longer than a minute, give or take a few seconds. The dust and earth scattered throughout the air as it took a while to settle. Akashi was easily able to defend against it due to his massive body, but the speed at which they rolled down the former mountainside was enough to leave a bruise on his forearm and the blow to his skull was still covered with fresh blood. The Titan of Avatar looked around with his glowing gray eyes. He spied The remains of his Guild/Castle and noticed that he and the Devil slayer had put quite a bit of distance between the town and themselves, a blessing in his opinion as the destruction they had just caused would have no doubt reduced the populated area to rubble. The once white, snowy and lush forests were split apart in many areas due to the fissures and once tall trees lay flat on the ground as they were uprooted due to the force of the blows both combatants dealt. The area where Akashi was standing had been reduced to a collection of craters and fissures and now the mountain range outside of the town was missing approximately half of a mountainside. Maps would have need to be redrawn when this was over. The Black Knights member continued looking around the battlefield and watched the small hill of cracked boulders, looking for any sign of the Black mage. He closed his eyes and reached out with his senses, focusing on finding the magic signature of the Mute mage. His eyes then snapped open as he felt the magic signature pop up. The Titan walked over to the hill and raised his mighty fist to smash the boulders into rubble and with no form of hesitation he struck forth, aiming to finish the job of avenging his guild...his family. However, his eyes widened when he felt the magic energy signature spike significantly. Black and red magic energy streams poked through the spaces in the hill of stone before a massive pillar of energy tore the ground asunder and expanded outwards as a dome of magical might. The rocks from the landslide were literally reduced to nothing as they were obliterated from view and Akashi was surprised when he felt his massive frame actually shift backwards from the force of the magic energy pulses and the winds. The magic energy then fashioned itself into the shape of the black beast and Akashi's Gray eyes widened as he stared at the image of the Black Beast. 'Wh-What is this feeling?' Akashi thought as a bead of sweat traced his jaw line. The image of Bakuko's roaring form then vanished as it receeded back towards its point of origin and Akashi's large eyes widened greatly as he saw Sage standing before him. His skin was covered in black and red magic energy that flickered like a flame before it spread across his body and he gained cracked scale-like patterns across it. His Yellow eyes shone brighter, his Black, red highlighted hair now had a few streaks of white mixed into it. His fangs and claws looked longer and sharper and his cloak and t-shirt were torn apart from the magic energy leaving him only in his pants and boots. Sage growled out before his head snapped up to look into Akashi's Gray eyes. [color=ed1c24][u][b]‘Unplug me….’ [/b][/u][/color] 'He...He really is one of them...like Gray…..he is a Devil Slayer!' Akashi flinched at the sight of those Yellow eyes as they seemed to stare into his soul. His eyes widened as he saw the son of Bakuko take a step forward and to his surprise, he had raised his foot and had taken a step backwards out of the fear he was currently feeling. The Voided Devil Slayer growled like a wild animal. The ground broke down and craters about a foot in a diameter formed beneath his feet when he began to walk. It was as if his very presence was causing the ground to cave inwards. "Now let me show you true power, Akashi Toradoor." Sage snarled before taking another step. This time, the cracks beneath his feet were much larger and in a flicker of movement, he was gone from view. Akashi didn't even have time to blink as a streak of dust adn snow and scattered earth marked Sage's path before he appeared in front of Akashi's body by his chest, fist reared back. The arm then shot forth with great speed and power and the attack nailed Akashi against his pectoral. The blow may have been small in size, but the effect was devastatingly large as Akashi was actually sent stumbling one or two steps backwards from the force of the strike. A small dot of purple marked the internal bleeding that was occurring. Another punch was sent flying towards Akashi's form and the Titan decided to counter this time with his own fist. The two powerful blows crashed against one another and a massive shockwave burst forth from the point of contact and the ground beneath them trembled as a result. Akashi stepped forward and used his heavier form to overpower the puny Devil Slayer and Sage gritted his teeth as he held his own before converting his fist into a flat palm. His claws dug into Akashi's skin and drew blood. Now that he was firmly anchored to the master of Avatar's body, he moved his body and tore the skin and some muscle tissue away from Akashi's knuckles. The Titan gritted his teeth in pain and then was sent skidding backwards when Sage flew towards him and kicked him in the chest. A punch was found crashing into his sternum and the bone creaked. His mouth was agape as Sage's powerful form slammed into his diaphragm and the wind was drawn out of his lungs. Flying upwards, Sage twisted his body to build up momentum before lashing out with a devastating kick that slammed down on the man's skull with enough force to generate blunt trauma, as shown by the small amount of redness in Akashi's glowing eyes, and send the giant of a man to his knees. Akashi quickly recovered however and lashed out with a punch to Sage's body and Sage grunted as he felt his ribs crack from the force, but his healing factor made his recovery that much quicker. Akashi and Sage exchanged blows as giant fists and feet clashed against Sage's sharp claws and ferocious kicks. Shockwaves resulted from the force of each blow as they clashed against one another or against the body of their intended target. The Titan and the Dragon didn't even notice that they began to move though the lands, leaving destruction in their wake. The forests behind them were reduced to crater and crack filled zones that made it seem as if Acnowloiga had come and destroyed everything. And this time, the entirety of the mountain Sage had broken earlier had come crashing down as Akashi and Sage had continued to batter it with blows as they tried to hit one another. The two leaped away from the collapsing tectonic creation. When the dust settled, both Sage and Akashi were covered in blood. Sage didn't have wounds due to his healing factor, but the blood that covered his body showed that he had taken quite a bit of damage and the bruises and thin slashes that covered Akashi's body showed that Sage had managed to hold his own quite well, but Akashi's heaving chest wasn't even moving that quickly showing that his stamina was quite amazing for an eighty year old man. "……………..” Sage panted as he began to regain his breath. –As expected of a guild master- "Flattery will not sway me, boy! I don't care if I have to face Murder charges, I will kill you!" Akashi charged forth Sage's Yellow eyes narrowed at the man. He flew forth and flew around Akashi's massive form and decided that it was time he put the Titan of Avatar out of commission. He flew at the large man's neck and his claws twitched as they became a blur of black and blue. "Devilled Bes-!? -" Sage's eyes widened as he was halted in his strike to sever the man's carotid artery and spill his blood. He glanced at his body and found it was caught by the Toradoor's rough hands. The Mute mage tensed his muscles to reduce the constriction and succeeded in doing, but he failed to stop the motion of the man's massive arm. Sage was slammed repeatedly into the ground and he growled, keeping his mouth tightly shut so that he wouldn't unleash the cries of pain his body wished to release. Sage was then tossed lightly upwards as if he were a ball and the Black suddenly found himself careening through the air when Akashi struck him from the side with a powerful chop. He crashed into the ground and rolled along it before he slammed into a boulder and said rock shattered as a result. Sage growled as he got back up and watched as Akashi's massive fists slammed down on the ground. A straight line of pure force rocketed from towards his body and Sage quickly dropped onto all fours, digging his claws and boots into the dirt so that he remained in his original position. When the shockwave ended, he pushed off and left a trail of sharp wind behind him that sliced the earth before leaping into the air and Akashi's eyes widened from the speed at which Sage appeared in front of him. The small Devil Slayer hGot near by Akashi's chest and with a raging roar. Sage struck. Akashi's Gray eyes widened as the force spread throughout his body, the muscle beneath his skin rippling as if it were made of jelly. And with that, the mighty Titan coughed up a glob of blood before he was sent skidding backwards. The Titan of Avatar continued to skid backwards and only came to a stop when he slammed into the side of the mountain that Sage had nearly destroyed earlier. The mountain cracked and shook and more rocks fell from above. Akashi raised his hands and blocked Sage's strike, glancing upwards a bit as he felt the rumbling of the rolling boulders. He grabbed Sage and slammed the voided Devil Slayer into the side of the mountain before tossing him against the landslide. Akashi clapped his hands together and a thunderous shockwave tore through the air. Sage was given an increase in speed and he tore through numerous boulders because of it while the ones he didn't slam into were reduced to rubble due to Akashi's thunderous clap. Sage flipped and dug his hands and feet into the mountainside. His motion halted as he bent his legs and with a roar, he pushed off the rocky surface which resulted in it caving inwards from the force at which he rocketed off of it. Akashi picked up a few trees and threw them at Sage, but the Black mage slashed at them with his claws and tore through them like they were made of tissue paper before flipping and crashing his feet against Akashi's chest. The Titan released a gasp as the Black's feet dug into his flesh and Akashi was sent toppling to the ground, flattening everything beneath his body. He rolled with the blow as the momentum of the Devil Slayer's blow was enough to carry Akashi through the ground. The Titan quickly raised his body and tilted his head when he felt the Devil Slayer approach him. A massive explosion occurred behind him and he glanced back to see Sage's magic encased claws and feet had torn open a hole in the earth. The Black skidded backwards due to the momentum of his crash before leaping into the air and opened his jaws. Magic energy swirled into his open maw and the black and blue magic energy condensed into a sphere within his jaws. Sage swallowed the sphere and steam flowed out between the gap in his jaws, his body bloating slightly. Akashi's eyes widened as he recognized the body motions. He took off at a rapid pace, his massive legs closing the distance between himself and Sage in a matter of seconds. Akashi lashed out with a devastating elbow strike and Sage grunted, and coughed out a massive amount of blood as he slammed through trees before losing his momentum and crashed into the ground. However, steam still flowed from Sage's mouth and the Apocalypse Devil Slayer rose back to his feet. Akashi couldn't stop the attack even as he tried to charge at the boy once more. [b][color=a0410d]"Akuma-JU no Gekikō!”[/color][/b] Sage roared and a massive blast of energy tore the land asunder. Akashi raised his arms to protect his body, but it did him little good as he the blast tore through his left forearm, left pectoral and then out of his back and continued through the air before crashing into the mountain range behind them. A flash of black and blue blinked into existence and vanished as quickly as it came, but once it did, there was massive explosion of magic energy. A dome of black and blue magic energy formed and it began to expand at an extremely fast rate. The winds generated by the blast wave were enough to rip into the surrounding lands and blow against Akashi and Sage's own bodies. In the end, there was a massive clearing as one mountain and half of the mountain next to it had been completely destroyed. Reduced to dust, possibly even worse than that. Akashi gasped as he looked at the large hole in his arm and chest. The attack had gone through and through and the blood didn't flow in copious amounts since the heat given off by the energy partially cauterized his wounds. The pain however... "FUCK! GOD DAMN IT, AAGH!" Akashi roared as he held his arm tightly against his chest, covering up both holes. Akashi's screams of agony pierced the air and his sensory nerves felt as if they were on fire. The roar of the Apocalypse Dragon was truly a fearsome attack and a painful one at that. Once he had vented his pain to the world, Akashi's directed his glowing, Gray eyes at Sage was now on his knees, the pain from Akashi's previous elbow strike finally catching up with his body. 'No time to waste!' Akashi rose to his feet and stamped the ground to steady himself and rise to his full height. The Titan of Avatar clapped his hands together and he closed his eyes. His thoughts were reduced to just the thought of focusing his magic. The black Avatar symbol that completely covered his bare chest began to glow as it was outlined with Gray light. An aura of Gray magical energy encased his body. Massive amounts of magic energy was drawn from the eternano in the air and mixed with the magic energy that was supplied by the third master of Avatar. Sage glanced up from his kneeling position. His Yellow eyes widened and suddenly he felt the massive amount of magic energy being concentrated between Akashi's hands. "NO, I will not fall here!" Sage held up his hands and magic energy swirled to life as the spiralling sphere of eternano appeared. He poured whatever magic energy he had remaining into the attack, which was possibly equal to what Akashi was pooling between his hands. The winds and Devil Slayer magic accumulated into the Rasengan and soon it became a shining, rotating shuriken energy. [u][b][color=ed1c24]"AKUMA-KU NO RASENSHURIKEN![/color][/b][/u]" Sage reared his arm back and then with a roar of effort, he hurled the spiralling shuriken through the air. The loud screeching of the Rasenshuriken blocked out every sound to the two combatants. Akashi's magic continued to condense between his hands when he began to part them. A massive spheroid of Gray light appeared between his open palms. The magic energy orb appeared like a miniature as prominences of magic energy rose and fell from its surface. [color=fdc68a]"FIST BREAKER!" [/color] [Img] http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/9491/336827-daimoa_damage_anime_super.jpg[/img] The explosion could be seen from anywhere, the mushroom cloud rose into the ozone layer, colouring the black sky with Red and Gray. The two fighter were left motionless on the ground, The city was laid to waste and the surrounding area were changed. It was only a few minutes later that a Lily had arrived on the scene, carrying a large black scale object she assessed the damage. [color=6ecff6]“Thanks to…you were the distraction we needed. But you paid the price for that.”[/color] Lily mumbled. Sage was bleeding everyone, and he wasn't wearing anymore clothes. Shaking her head She knelt down to Sage and rubbed his back. [color=6ecff6]“Well done.”[/color] She closed her eyes. [color=6ecff6]“Nya, take us back: we got it.”[/color] On cue a Dark shadow appeared underneath them as the suck into the ground. With the Sun rising, it had completed it role. And so did the Mute Mage of Lamia scale. [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeRtB3606iw]Insert Music: Wangan Midnight: Result[/url]
