BTFD Rangers (Main Thread)

Tsubasa watched as Weiss arrived and did the text book royal greeting. He too kneels and gestured her to stand up. During the time that they were getting up Tsubasa changed into Sollisferrum. Glowing red eyes and a slight pressure force down on to the area. Sollisferrum unlike Ryagon seem to be alittle gentler and very mature. This wasn’t saying that Ryagon was immature, but Sollis is alittie more civilize in a way he goes about thing. Perhaps in life he was a noble and kind soul, but in death he is evil by circumstances.

“Thank you for coming Weiss, I hope you like your new quarters here in this place. It is as close to a home as I can provide you†Sollis said as he turned his back against her. This was to test her loyalty to see if she was trust worthy. If she had ill intentions it would be easy for her to strike him down, Sollisferrum doesn’t like to display his powers another difference between him and his master. “ Weiss I need you to go to the southern woods in the deeper regions to the forest ruins†Sollisferrum was talking and looking at his left hand. “ Weiss please go and retrieve my left hand from those ruins†Sollisferrum said as he turned around facing Weiss.
 
Weiss blinked some at this request. "Retrieve your hand...I will do this...however, if I may, what are your reasons for wanting it back? Aside from completing your body, that is..." It was probably a needless question, but Weiss was still curious. She had never dealt with a Lich before, and her curiosity was getting the better of her. As for the mission itself, she looked forward to going to the forest again, but at the same time dreaded it.

To be among nature once more would make her feel at home...yet it would be so quiet...not being able to hear any of the voices would seem like the forest was dead to her, which she had seen enough of with her eyes, thanks to industry and so called progress. Stupid mortals... Her temper started to flare up again, but the look on her face still seemed to be calm, as she waited for Sollis to answer her question.
 
Once again, Drake's instincts kicked in and before stepping into the castle he casts a spell that disguised his form. No doubt the royale family wouldn't be too happy to see an ancient war criminal rise up from the grave. Still he had his hood up just for good measure. In the olden times, the King and Queen wouldn't dare to allow anyone inside the palace...not in this day and age as it seemed that this royal family allowed an open door policy.

Drake walked through the hallways, they were filled with paintings and artifacts some looked old, and began to fall apart. The paintings told the story of the wars, yet nothing of his former life. Standing in front of him was an enormous painting of a woman, Misaki Hashimoto The First. Drake's eyes widened and he lets out gasp, he steps back and images began to flood back in his head "URagh...aaaargh!" Drake says his hood flying off. One of the guards sees Drake in pain and approaches him "Hey Mate! Something the matter?" He asks.

The spell around Drake fades and he returns to his normal face. The guard lets out a gasp, he looks at Drake then at the painting behind him: describing Drake the Terrible. "I-It's the Dark Dragon!!! It's Drake the Terrible! He's returned! He's returned!" The guard shouts in a panic Drake hears the pancing man and delivers a swift and powerful punch into his gut, but it was too late the alarm was sounded and his presence in the castle was known "Damnit!" Drake cries as the hallway becomes flooded with guards, each of them pointing spears or swords at him.
 
Arslan continued to watch the festival go on, "Fools" He murmured, "They think all is well, when in fact, they are all in doom." He smiled, "Gomen, Ryagon, but I am deciding to start the party a little early." Arslan looked into the sky, as his eyes turned black, the clouds turned dark and all of the Windorians looked up in the sky, and wondered what was going on.

Arslan lifted his hand in the air as lightning struck in the sky, he pointed his hand at the main group of Windorians, as a bolt of lightning came striking down onto them. They all started to run, as Arslan sent more another bolt to different positions. Arslan stayed hidden, because he knew it was too soon to reveal himself. His eyes then became there normal color and started to walk away, as he put up his hood and smirked.

"Ryagon has helped me to master my powers. And with that, I thank her." He then gripped his hands, "BUt she still has not answered my questions." He then became angry, "I will take her down, unless my questions are answered. I want to know why I am DragonRiser. No I NEED to know. Or all this is just for fun." Then, Arslan smirked, "Hmph, this is quite the thrill."

Arslan saw a little boy staring at him, "What are you looking at?" "MOMMY!" As the boy started to run Arslan grabbed his head, and sent a small bolt of lightning to the boys body, knocking him unconcious. Arslan walked away, as he did not want anyone to see him, as he was the one for this massacre.
 
The momentary shift allowing Tsubasa’s presence to resurface as Ryagon’s champion stood back moved into circulation causing the two host bodies even more pain. All was done in the name to strengthen her powers more by feeding off them like a symbiotic parasite. In order to deliver another painful reminder by shadowing Misaki’s gentle demeanour reverting back to the girl’s more regal attire. Looking around assessing where she was ‘Misaki’ glance down as the prince’s hand grabbed her by the wrist. Drawing her close Misaki place a hand on his chest staring back into his eyes. “Misaki you have to snap out of it, don’t let her over take youâ€Tsubasa cried.

“Y-You’re hurting me…†Misaki replied trying to pull her hand free from his tightening grip. The prince’s eyes widen not realizing that his act to defy Ryagon and Sollisferrum reaching out to his princess only to take out his own frustration by crushing her wrist in the process. Frozen over his action Tsubasa glance down removing his hand immediately staring back into her eyes remorsefully. As their eyes met once more only to find Misaki looking back smiling mischievously chuckling. He had been fooled! Laughing softly Ryagon struck her hand across his face without even a word savoring the delightful taste of his pain.

Ryagon heard Sollisferrum’s after forcing the young man back into its prison as her champion took full control once more kneeling down on one knee. “I apologize for this boy’s rudeness, I promise you my master I shall punish him for his insolence†Sollisferrum rested one hand upon his bent knee. “I will begin preparations immediately, I will also be staying in this palace till after the ceremonies there is no need for me to travel back west†Ryagon knew her champion quite well as they are linked he would be true to his word.

After their lunch Ryagon granted Miaski control over her body once more in order to maintain the princess’s demeanour in both the girl’s father eyes and that of the people. As she walked down along the guarded corridor a figure stood within its shadow awaiting for her to draw near. A presence that Miaski recognize to be another of Ryagon’s forces inventor, Robotaclese. “I will make this very brief my dear lady and not take up such precious time. Ryagon, my dear lady you will like to know that Arslan has arrived within the city and….is rather impatient. What would you like me to do?†The blue-hair young man question.

Ryagon force herself back so that she could address the inventor directly “Find him. When you do inform that he is to do nothing drawing unwanted attention at the time being. There is much work that must be done and will not permit him to destroy all the years of preparations. He may find a means to let out his frustration, but he is NOT to get carried away or his powers and life will be forfeited onto me.†The inventor nodded before slipping back into the pillar. Ryagon shudder blissfully that soon her only mistake would soon be wipe out from history long they could execute it before the hen shin devices stored in the sacred chamber find their masters.

It was not long till Misaki granted control of her body as the princess sat on a sea of cushions surrounding by small children. As the palace had been open more to the public Misaki would tend tell stories of the mystical creatures also believed to have dwelled. As they included on the tale of how the planet became so enriched with life froze feeling a nearly long forgotten telepath connection. The surge of the connection plunge Misaki back into time where she sat…at least her past life sat within the throne room before a gathered session appearing to await their ruler’s announcement. To her left side stood a rather and on her right a humanoid girl with dragon wings, but their faces hidden from her mind’s eye. “….He has returned…†she spoke softly.

((OOC: Great job everyone. I am impress on everyone's posts. Let us not try to advance too much for we do not want to leave two more behind. I will make a post in regards of Lorelei and the mentor once we've heard from them too))
 
Arslan continued to walk from the festival, when he was met with a punch to the face, that sent him to the groud. But he was then picked up by his cloak, "What do you think your doing?!" "Robotaclese, I wish I could say this is a pleasure, but, my mother told me not to lie." Robotaclese pushed Arslan away, "You are so naive! Do you know what you have done?! Eh?! Look at this, Ryagon has worked on this plan for years, and you want to ruin it because your impatient?!"

Arslan smirked, "Last time I checked I did not henshin and kept my cover pretty well so I don't know what you are all worried about." Robotaclese became frustrated, "I can take that brace off your hands so fa-" Arslan looked at Robotaclese with his eyes now black, "Hmph you don't scare me." Arslan had a lightning bolt sent right next to Robotaclese, making him jump. As he smiled, "Ryagon has truly helped master your powers."

Arslan eyes turned back to normal, "Ah, so it seems." He continued to walk, "Where are you going?!" Arslan looked back, "Waiting for my revenge to truly start. Tell Ryagon I won't do anything stupid, but also, tell her not to make me wait."
 
Drake kept his compsure despite his current circumstance of begin surrounded by armed Knights "Stay where you are! D-Don't move!" The Knight said. Drake could feel the fear in his voice as he spoke "Easy...I'm not going to hurt you...I just want to speak to your leader" Drake says "The royal family? We won't let you near them!" And with that the man lunged foreword with his spear, but his attack was slow, giving Drake the opening he needed, he grabbed the man's spear and yanked it out of his hand, the momentum caused the man to go forewared giving Drake the chance he needed to knee the man in the face the man falls down onto the floor with a grunt.

Seeing their comrade down, the other Knights lunged foreword, Drake leaps into the air and over the knights like a game of leapfrog. Now that he was over the knights, he began to run down the hallways as fast as his legs would carry him "After him men!" The knights cry. Having lost the knights for a second, Drake knew it wouldn't be long till they found him again, he sees a door to his right and opens it closing the door quickly behind him panting slowly, out of breath from all the running.

One of the children lets out a shriek seeing Drake enter the room, instinctively Drake sees Misaki and quickly moves to pin her to the ground, the spear pointing dangerously close to her throat "One more sound and I'll...I'll..." Drake's eyes widened, the familiar throbbing retruns to his head. He stands up slowly from Misaki, dropping the spear in his hand and began to cry out in agony.
 
All throughout the capital city of Silver Sapphire, a festive mood filled the streets. Bards and street entertainers were out in full force, entertaining the masses wearing costumes that reflect the spirit of the Obsidian Festival, which represented a legend most people barely remember. Walking about the city on this festive day is a buxom young woman with long, blonde hair, known to those who are acquainted with her as Helena Myst. Looking about in the city, Helena couldn't help but notice the smiling faces of the people that went about to celebrate. Yet at the same time, Helena felt an oppressive aura she could not explain or pinpoint the source, prompting her to frown slightly. I just know that somehow, this festive mood isn't going to last. For now though...Sis and Master Hyouun said they were going to be here soon... the buxom young woman told herself inwardly, proceeding to one of the food stalls to buy Cheese potatoes -- a Silver Sapphire specialty.
 
Oh the festival was bringing such a great smell in the air. With the great musicians performing in the streets, and with the smell of local cuisines and delicacies giving off great smelling aromas. This was not something anyone would want to miss, and it was even great for Cassandra's family because there wasn't much out in the country. Cassandra's family though sat to eat lunch but the country girl was not ready to eat so she went to go play some games. There was a strongman game in which if you could beat the man who was the "Strongman" you would win all of the money that many people have bet, and have lost. So Cassandra went up and sat down in front of the big buff man and said," Here this is all my money lets see if I can beat you!" There wasn't much but still it was a pretty good amount, but the strongman just laughed and said," Women aren't strong."

Cassandra took that as a harsh remark, and so she put her arm down and grasped the strongman's bulky arm. Soon though she began to just use her normal strength and was beginning to lose. It was ashame though because the young women had figured out how they had won so much cash. Cassandra then began to push through and was beating the man, and soon she was the victor but the competition didn't end. Cassandra then began to pull on the man's arm and he kept pulling with all of her strength until she removed it from the man's shoulder. Soon the robotic arm was removed and Cassandra tossed it to the ground and said," Even if you cheat eventually you get caught." The Strongman soon came at Cassandra and she side stepped him, grabbed him by the waist, and soon lifted him over her head and suplexed him. The large pile of cash was now all Cassandras and she was so glad for what she had done.

Soon after Cassandra hurried to the bank which wasn't so far away, and deposited all of the money. Heading back to the festival the hyperactive farm girl just sat with her family thinking," Of this day has to be the best and most perfect day of my life!"
 
Sollisferrum looked the prince’s hand; his feel of it was getting dull from time to time. Without his original body he isn’t as powerful and without his original body, he’ll have to keep drawing power from Ryagon which would burden her. If all the pieces of his skeleton can be found, then he will gain back the powers which cannot be rivaled, only Ryagon would be above him. But this wasn’t really the whole reason that Sollisferrum would want his body back, perhaps even in the back of his mind. He doesn’t want Tsubasa to perish, or it’s because his lost of powers and the boy’s determination to break free and rescue his lover is taking over and turning him. Good, there is no doubt that he would serve Ryagon forever, therefore he needs to restore himself. “Weiss, you’ll understand when you bring it back to me. I have another mission for you. But I need that first†Sollisferrum said as firmly as he could, Sollis looked down towards the area and saw that they were some people looking for him. They ran fast the sounds of the footsteps coming in closer and closer “ Weiss someone is coming, please don’t forget†Sollisferrum said as he waved farewell to Weiss and walked away towards the mass of Royal Guards. Unlike the display pieces of the guards placed for show these were the real deal. They armed with rifles and bayonet, because Misaki forbids modern tactical weapons in her palace. They were the inner palace’s guards. They are knights, but they are modern ready to give their lives to protect the Royale family. The Uniformed officer came up to Tsubasa “My lord there has been an intruder, we came here to take you into protective custodyâ€

At this point Sollisferrum let Tusbasa take control, this is what he was best at protecting his princess. And if the princess lives, so does Ryagon. “How did this happen officer, I will not go with you until I know the princess is safe, where is she?†Tsubasa said with a concern, but not an upset tone. He is prince so he must keep his cool down and demeanor at all cost. “My Lord, The princess is in the east wings with the children, we have already dispatch guards to her†Tsubasa gave a concern look at the guard captain, he knew about this a little bit before hand as Sollisferrum has told him. “I need a rifle, and a saber†Tsubasa said as he was handed a rifle and a saber from the guard captain. “We’re going to the princess†Tsubasa said as he headed towards the east wing with his four guards and the captain escorting as lead. Within moments Tsubasa started to dash, he was very athletic, so he easily out paces his own escorts.

The other guards headed toward the princess’s east chamber, but as they headed there they saw a shadow. A person run by and they began their chase “After him Men!†the guard said ignoring their original orders from the captain. Before they knew it they made the crucial mistake as a child screamed at the top of her lungs, afraid of the intruder. The Screaming child immediately tossed herself towards the maid that was in the room along with the other children, Misaki was left wide open to the intruder, she was stunned as the intruder took her and pinned her to the wall. Threatening words that made the children not utter a sound, and a spear that almost ended her life. Suddenly the shock stopped with the intruder loosening his grip on the weapon and on his hold. He began to cry in agony, the cry was painful, and loud.

As the event unfold Tsubasa arrived, he quietly looked towards the wall, then trace his eyes over to Misaki. With the two having eye contact, Misaki knew right away, what she must do to take advantage of the situation. Tsubasa had no idea who this person was, but he could felt the presence that Sollisfferrum knew, but that wasn’t the point right now. He must get Misaki to a safer place even if it’s a different corner inside the room. He places his rifle down against the door, and carefully removed his pistol from his holster. He didn’t utter a word, not even a thought as he pointed his pistol towards the intruder and reached out his hand, for Misaki to take. Stepping in slowly the children watched, some still cried, some are shocked, others watched with glimmer eyes. The prince was in the room, it was like a fairy tale. Once Tsubasa got a firm grip on Misaki’s hand he tugged her into his arms, and slowly stepped away from the intruder, who seems like he was going to become unstable and go psychotic at any moment. At last the Captian and his guards arrived, everything that just had occurred happened in less than 5 minutes. The guards slowly moved in with their rifles “Who are you and what did you want? You are under arrest†The captain questioned the crying man. Meanwhile, Tsubasa took a quick look at his princess; her dress was torn from the suddenly being thrown into a wall. But that wasn’t his concern, the princess did not shiver. She felt cold and almost life less, the only thing Tsubasa could notice was her mischievous smile. And this could only mean one thing Ryagon knew well that this person was coming. Sollisferrum took the opportunity to connect with Ryagon, “So e is here, what would you like me to do with him?†he asked, looking at the situation from Tsubasa’s eyes.
