Leval followed the Kitsune through the maze until they came upon a lone grave in the middle of the field. The Kitsune held her tails up, obviously a motion to stop. Leval looked around the field, 'Apparently we have reached our destination.' He watched carefully as the Kitsune scratched another message into the earth. 'Kill the embodiment of the Curse huh?' The Kitsune looked from him to the grave, tension clear from her posture. Leval nodded slowly, getting the message. He walked to the grave and stood atop it, placing his staff before him. With one final glance at the Kitsune to ensure he was correct, he plunged the sharpened end of his staff extending it through the grave dirt towards whatever may have resided in its depths.

Irvine's eyes went wide as the creature went to counter his attack reversing his momentum, kicking against the ground to push himself back. He raised his left arm to shield his eyes from to fierce blast. His decision lead to him quickly flinging off his scruffy jacket as the arm caught an am ember and quickly went ablaze. Acting as fast he could he flung an orb, crafted from the burning smoke at the creature.@The One

Ceres looked at Shela who was in a cage, and collard. Ceres didn't knew how the poor girl got there or what happend to her, but she knew one thing. Shela's death could mean the saving of Ceres normal life. She looked at the masked man and back at Shela.

Ceres had only known the girl for barely a day, het death would save Ceres.

She sighed and looked at the masked man giving a small nod before squeezing the gloves she held in her hand. Ceres couldn't believe she was actually going to do this, this would trow away her humanity forever. Slowly she made her way over to the cage.

Shela looked Ceres into the eye's her look begging her not to do it. But Ceres continued her walk tot he cage.

'' don't fear Shela, it will be over in a second. You won't need to feel afraid'' Ceres said with a sad smile on her face as she trew her gloves towards Shela. Just when she was about to touchs Shela's cheek Ceres turned to ash and appeared behind the masked man trowing a punch at his spine.

Ceres had trown away her humanity, she would never be normal again.

@EurmalEye The kitsune watched as he went over to the grave. He extended his staff and as he did a dark being rose up with the writing 'CURSE' in rune writing. Then, the writing on the grave was revealed as 'Isabella.' The monster spoke in a dark evil tone.

"You shall not free Isabella!"

The being shot a wave of powerful magic energy at Leval to hopefully send him back away from her grave.

@The One

The dark being rose up from the grave covered in some sort of writing that he could not understand. It spoke with a dark tone that sent a shiver down his spine, and then sent a wave of powerful magical energy pushing against Leval's body trying to send him flying away from the grave. Only the fact that he had plunged his staff deep into the dirt below prevented him from being pushed back from the grave. He clung to it feeling his legs slip out from underneath him from the sheer wave of power. As soon as the wave had passed over him, he got his feet underneath him and pulled his staff from the ground. He extended the apex of the sharped hook of his staff- pushing it outward forming a somewhat crude, but usable scythe blade. He put the blade behind himself readying for an attack, but leaving himself open, baiting for another attack.

*Argentina Rhosphrus*

Argentina watched the fight go on unable to stand quite yet but she was slowly regaining strength. She watched as the spikes froze then cumbled to the ground along with his armour. It was then a few minutes later when she felt her body move, shocked she remained still while thinking through the situationin her mind. It was clear that the giant bat would use her as a pupet, making her fight so that it could practicly sit in the background watching. The energy the bat used to control her however was flowing into her system and in turn it would help to rapidly negate the toxin. She winked at her pet signaling that she had a plan.

Zephroth watched as his efforts to skewer the bat and crush it failed. He understood that they both controled earth but he also knew that only one of them could win and technically he had the advantage as he had an ally. He smiled at that thought but it was short lived, because suddenly Argentina rose unatrally from the ground and even her face looked surprised at what was happening so when she winked at him he was confused at first. He trusted her with his life so his smile returned.

He looked the beast before him and growled. His duplicates would encircle it first an nip and bite at its wings and tail from behind while the main one spread out his stance a bit and uses the earth to lanch himself into the air, using the technique he would very quickly dart aroud shooting small rocks at it and being unpredictable by biting and scratching every now and then.

@akirashadow

Ra teleported out the way and behind Irvine then shot another fire blast at him while at the same time fire shot up from the ground surrounding him. His attack would miss while Ra attempted to take him down. The fire was so hot he would be able to feel himself sweating.

@Ojo chan 42

The masked man watched her carefully as she slowly walked in, then she disappeared and went to attack him but as she did she froze completely. He laughed softly and clicked his fingers which would create a collar around her neck which immediately began to shock her. He turned around and stared her in the eyes.

"Wrong move Ceres, wrong move."

The collar would continue to shock her until she passed out.

(I know I instant hit hear, but there was literally no way she could of stopped it.)

@EurmalEye

The monster's hands lit up with fire and then placed it's hands together. It then began to send a large flamethrower at him to hopefully burn him. The kitsune looked to her grave for a moment then looked to the monster. She was so close, she just had to destroy this thing so she could be released. As the flamethrower went on spirits surrounded the being. They were obviously crazed, this creature was a creature of death and that much was obvious.

@Maria 127

The large bat watched what was happening then it destroyed the earth the main creature was on to make him fall, it then span around and hit every one of them with it's wings to send them flying back. As it did Argentina would feel herself get bitten by the bat which would drug her some more. After that, it grabbed her in it's claws and attempted to fly off. It watched the pets very carefully, to make sure they could not stop it.

@The One

The being's hand lit with fire and, putting them together, shot a large jet of continuous flames at him. Dark, crazed spirits began to float behind the being making it quite clear that his opponent was a being of death. Leval smiled, 'If it's a spirit of death, I wonder how it fares dealing with spirits of Life?' As the flames rapidly approached, Leval called out to Ash and Cinder still resting underneath his cloak. They fluttered their wings in acknowledgement.

Leval waited for the last possible moment, feeling his face begin to singe, before starting to swing forward. Relying on the flames themselves to help mask his dissappearance, he teleported behind the being swing already underway. Leval was aiming for the creatures upper chest area where human's kept their hearts, the area now exposed as the creature had raised both its arms for its flames. Around him, Ash and Cinder fluttered around spreading their healing magic. Leval hoped that the presence of their Life magic would help ward the dark spirits away from him. He pulse pounded as he prayed that the blow would connect.

@EurmalEye As the blow connected there was an explosion of darkness. The monster was sent flying back before stopping and he spirits were now gone. It seemed that the monster of death was weak to the presence of life as it's chest fell apart slightly. It raised one hand and sent out a large black energy blast back at Leval mostly aiming for Ash and Cinder.

@The One

Leval dodged out of the way of the blast and Ash managed to flutter close to Leval. Cinder was not as fortunate as he took the blast in full, disintegrating into a small pile of ashes onto the ground. Leval winced in sympathy for his friend but knew that Cinder's rejuvenation abilities would ressurect him in due time. Leval eyed the creature- it seemed to have been aiming at the butterflies rather than himself. Leval conjured another Weave and scores of illusory butterflies filled the field all barreling at the creatures right hand side in a swarm. Leval shifted himself and Ash, who had attached herself to his arm to the creatures left launching the sharp pointed end of his staff at the damaged area. Leval hoped the butterflies would distract the being enough to land another solid blow.

@The One
*Argentina Rhosphrus*

Zephroth saw what the bat was going to do and managed to jump just before it was destroyed and attempted to clamp his jaws onto his ear as he flew over him. Meanwhile the bat spun aroud and knocked back the duplicates but they very quickly recoverd and lauched themselves at the bat atempting to bite and tear at its wigs.

Argentina was about to put her plan into action when she she was bitten, surprise quickly turned into rage as the venom was injected into her system. "How dare you! HOW DARE YOU BITE ME, YOU LOWLY PIECE OF SHIT TRASH BAG!" her stong emotion of anger fueling her it begins to rain that rain quickly turns in to sharp pointed hail. It would be very hard to escape as it covered such a large area. If it hit it would begin to tear,rip and scrach at the beast. With in twenty minutes though her eyes fluttered and the last thing she said was "sorry..." as fell tottally unconscious.

@EurmalEye As the butterflies appeared the monster looked around a moment, being distracted just enough for him to be hit again which was knocked back. Part of his metal chest crumbled once more. That is when he would see a large object in the chest that seemed to be fuelling energy throughout the creature. The monster gave a metallic scream before fire burst up destroying all the butterflies, this would also be aimed at Leval and Ash. At the same time the monster teleported behind him and shot a large fire blast at him.

@Maria 127 The bat watched as hail began to come down, knowing it was a good distance from the pet now it covered it's wings in earth and continued to fly. After a while of flying and travelling, it came to the Masked Man. The bat dropped her who now had her in it's mouth. He smiled brightly looking at the girl before snapping his fingers and placing a collar on her.

"Well done, my pet. You shall be rewarded."

He then picked her up and threw her in the cell. He laughed evilly, he now had three students from the academy. If he could break the vampire, maybe he could reverse the effects of what she did to Rika.

Rika

Rika was still fully conscious, and was still working out what this thing could do. The demon flew at him and as he did a huge fire blast approach from behind. He looked around, before realizing, he was still himself, he should be able to use his elemental powers still. He turned towards the fire blast and redirected towards the demon but adding lightning and earth to it as well, making it a lightning fire bomb. As the bomb hit the demon it was knocked back and smashed into the hedge wall. Rika then used his fire to boost himself over there and shot the demon with multiple bone spikes to the chest as he was getting up. The demon was dead, all thanks to the help he had gotten from Argentina. The walls opened up and three new pathways appeared. Rika was still in his demon form, he wasn't sure how to change back. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. After a few minutes he transformed back. He looked around wondering which way to go before deciding to go right. He continued to go right until he came to the exit where he saw Leval. He stood by his side and looked to the monster he was fighting. By this point though the attacked had already happened.

"Leval, are you aright? Have you seen Argentina anywhere? She's here, she helped me."

He looked to Leval and then back to the monster.

Irvine just barely managed to dodge the flung fireball after the creature had teleported away from yet another of his attacks. As he was about to launch another attack a flame spout shot up in front of him. Irvine turned to watch as he got encircled by a cell of flames. As the heat rose the psychotic crack wavered as Irvine turned to look at the creature. "Inconvenient.." he muttered as he sat down in the cell. Whipping sweat from his forehead Irvine looked around through the small breaks in the flames for any changes to his surroundings that he could exploit. "Let's try something different..." Irvine looked back to the creature. "Surely if you wanted me dead, this wouldn't be necessary. So..." Irvine whipped further sweat away from his face as the heat intensified further. "What the hell do you want?"@The One

@akirashadow Ra stared at him before looking to his right, suddenly the masked man appeared before him laughing loudly. He stepped forward and watched him from outside the flaming fire.

"I want you, boy."

He then attempted to grab him, if this worked he would teleport him to his lair where he would see Shela, Argentina and Ceres all caged and collared. He looked to him with a smile under his mask.

"You can't win. I shall give you one and only one chance, do not make the same mistake Ceres did. Join me now, under you're free will and get anything you wish, or be one of them, collared like a dog and forced into a cage. It's your choice."

He stared at him before looking to the three who were caged.

Seninia

Seninia walked into the open field slowly then saw the fox disappear. The walls came up and trapped her, but, after about a minute or so they sunk back down then Kai came in. She looked to him before looking to the ground for a moment. She softly spoke, speaking quite quietly as she did.

"There is something here. Some sort of monster."

She rose up from the ground and then attempted to bind him and trap the monster under ground using vines and roots so they didn't have to fight it. She was a pacifist. She didn't like fighting unless she had no other choice.

Kong

Kong continued to walk and explore when suddenly the walls came up behind him and trapped him. He then saw a huge ape like himself jump down. He stared at him for a moment before swinging his pole staff before slamming it down.

"You want to fight? Then you must have a death wish."

He ran up to the ape as he sung his staff, shooting fire blasts at him while trying to trap him under the earth. The fire blast were merely a distraction, hopefully it would work for him to in case the bastard in earth.

Yoshihiro

Yoshihiro entered the room and suddenly the fox disappeared. The walls came up behind him, trapping him and finally a monster appeared which looked like some weird mutated werewolf thing. He stared at it for some time and decided that it was best not to attack first. This thing was obviously fast, he could tell just from looking at it. In fact, he wasn't sure he could keep but however he would try.

Irvine didn't resist, anything was better than remaining in that hell of a battlefield. Once he was teleported to the new lair, Irvine glanced around at his surroundings. A much more comfortable environment that was for sure. Irvine looked to the three caged students as he tried to recall their abilities from the training room. A proposition of a deal, he 'joined' this creature, supposedly out of free will or became a caged animal. "A difficult situation." Irvine spoke as he rotated the hilt in his hand. "The test?" Surely there was one, how else would the creature assess a persons loyalty unless they were to be treated the same as the prisoners. The question of a test was in much a test itself only the recipient of said test would be the creature, not Irvine. @The One

@DragonKingUk@The One

*Argentina Rhosphrus*

Zephroth howled as the giant bat flew away with his friendand only family. He was loyal to her and only her for that reason so he quickly sniffed the air then the floor and began to track Argentina as she shod still be bleeding.

Zephroth was a little more than angry now, he didn't quite understand what was going on all he knew is that for some reason they didnt want her dead.

As he was walking along following his noese to where ever it guides him he wasn't paying any attention to his surroundings. He was too focused on tracking Argentina so when he turned a few corners and walked stright into something he looked up, slight confusion contorted his face. He sees the werewolf but then spots Yoshihiro his face then contorts from confusion to rage and his pupils become really small.

All his duplicates appeare out of nowhere and charge at it quickly changing directons and avoiding some attacks, he would bite scratch a rip at the beast weather or not his attacks hit it was anotherthing altogether but he tried his best and growled menicingly the whole time.

@akirashadow@Maria 127 The masked man laughed a little and then looked to him. Would he complete the test, or would he be a fool? He was interested to see. Well, he was about to find out.

"The little girl, Shela. Useless, pathetic, defenceless and weak. Kill her, and you shall prove your loyalty."

He smiled, turning to him, watching him closely.

@The One

Leval saw the flames bursting up from the ground underneath him and teleported forward slightly to avoid the geyser of flame. However, another spurt of flame, came from behind him. He dodged to the rift but could not move fast enough to avoid all the damage. Searing pain enveloped his entirely left arm, and Leval let out a howl of pain. He glanced down at the arm, blistered were already forming, several patches of skin had been burnt black. Leval gritted his teeth and placed an illusion of numbness onto his arm. He could no longer use it, but for a brief time he wouldn't have to feel it. Behind him he heard the approach of small footsteps and saw Rika join him by his side.

"Leval, are you alright? Have you seen Argentina? She's here, she helped me."

Leval hid his left arm under his cloak to not upset the child. He shrunk his staff to its normal hook state. He grinned over at him and said "I'm fine, but am slightly busy at the moment. If you have any Life magic at your disposal cast it now!" Leval vanished and appeared atop the being of death attempting to reach into the hole with his staff and wrench out the large object fueling it.

@DragonKingUk

The giant worm burrowed through the ground and destroyed the vines with ease and quickly, and then jumped out of the ground to attack Seninia, shooting ice spikes at her then it quickly burrowed in the ground again. Although it was just a basic attack the worm was all about hit and run. It could see everything above ground very easily.

Kong

The fellow ape broke through the earth with ease and not bothering to dodge the fire as it didn't effect him. Then he smashed his staff down which summoned a magic wall, this magic wall began to shoot a barrage of missiles at him. He placed another wall behind him and did the same thing. Now missiles were coming in from the front and behind.

Yoshihiro

The Monster roared as the pet's attack him, it flung it's tail around and hit some of the duplicates then ran quickly at Yoshihiro, it jumped over and spun around which would slash him with it's tail then went to slash him again with his two claws. It took minor damage from the attacks of the pet but that was none of it's concern right now.
