Brothers in Arms "Fool! If you hadn't waited so long to heal me, we would have been done with the fight far eariler!" Darc's sneer showed a high level of annoyance, even by his standards. "Now I'll be late returning home, and all because you don't know how to fight!" "Why you...." Kharg raised his sword in anger, and pointed it at Darc. "You wish to settle things here and now, Deimos scum?" Darc raised his sword to match Kharg's, and pointed it at him. "Human fool! We will finally settle our differences, and I will prove the Deimos to be the superior race!" As both brothers began to charge forward, a loud cry of "Enough!" echoed above them. The brothers looked up, and saw an imposing blonde haired man staring at both of them. "Tisk, tisk. Haven't you two heard of brotherly love?" Edgar shook his head, and sighed. "Reminds me of the way Sabin and I used to quarrel." Seeing that the king had finished talking, the two brothers went back to glaring at each other. At the sight of this, Edgar sighed, and motioned to the large man standing in the back. "Sabin, if you would." "Yaaah!" Sabin yelled as he jumped towards Darc, and launched into his infamous Bum Rush attack. The punishing attack floored the weakened Darc, leaving Kharg alone. "How dare you!" Kharg yelled, and charged at Sabin. Much to his dismay, he felt a heavy anchor hit him. Strangely, though it left a very minor wound on his back, he felt heavy and weak. "I suggest you stop moving Kharg." Edgar's words had an icy undertone, which, sadly, fell on deaf ears. Kharg charged at Sabin, but passed out as soon as he swung his blade. The last thing Kharg heard was "..Throw these two in with the other two sets. Foolish brothers, the lot of them." When the pair woke up, they noticed they were at the south wall of what looked to be a slightly smaller arena than what the DL used. And they also noticed they weren't alone. Edgar and Sabin were up on a raised platform above the maze. Not only that, there were two other pairs of fighters, and none of them looked happy to be here. When Edgar spoke up, his voice carried the weight of royal authority. "I've gathered you three pairs here for a very specific purpose. All three pairs of you are brothers, by blood or by marriage. It's time for you to put aside your petty differences, and begin to act like you're family and not mortal enemies." Motioning to the first team, Edgar continued talking. "Melfice and Ryudo: Mortal enemies and bitter rivals. Today you'll put aside what happened in the past, and learn to work together like brothers." Edgar finished abruptly and motioned to his brother. Sabin began to speak up. "Luca and Jowy Blight: You betrayed each other, and look at where you both ended up. You both have something in common in Jillia. Don't let your fighting ruin you lives." Sabin stopped speaking, and waited for Edgar to begind talking. "Kharg and Darc: You are both leaders of the Humans and the Demios respectively. It's past time for you two to forget about the physical differences that seperate your races, and focus on the fact that you're related by blood." Sabin opened his mouth to speak again. "You see, we found all three pairs of you fighting throughout the arena today, and frankly, people are sick of all of your fighting. This maze will be a test of your loyality to each other. There's only one way out, and that's through the northern exit. All you need to do is work together and find the exit. Good luck." Sabin finished speaking, and Edgar began talking. "In case you're wondering, Sephiroth was generous enough to volunteer his own private arena for this. Supposedly, all six of you managed to somehow get on his bad side, either through mocking him after his loss to Fou-Lu, or disrupting him with your fighting while he was watching DL matches. He'll be flying over the maze, to make sure you don't turn on each other. Attacking the other team is perfectly fine and encouraged, though. Gentlemen, I suggest you don't test Sephiroth. As well, this is all being filmed, so the entire DL can see what happens while you're down there Edgar quickly turned to leave, but spun back around just as fast. "Oh, one last thing: Sephiroth was given free reign to do what he wants with the two teams that don't make it out of the arena first." With that unplesant commment, Edgar turned away. "I suggest you begin." Sephiroth's arena is filled with traps, dead ends, and random monsters. Who will escape it, and prove to the whole DL that the bonds that tie them are really? |

superaielman "Sephiroth..." Melfice's breath grew jagged. "That was the fool who dared stand in my way. He'll pay for his crimes!" "Brother, no! You can't stand against Sephiroth. None of us can!" Ryudo's tone was a mix of worry and frustration. He knew that Sephiroth had disposed of Melfice in season 3 godlike's finals, and it was very unlikely that he'd be able to stop him now. Though...Turning his head towards the other teams, Ryudo used his trademark smirk. "You know, Sephiroth can't stand against all of us at once. If we unite, we can crush these fools for daring to do this to us."The six fighters stood eyeballing each other in distrust, until an unlikely voice spoke up. "Those pigs need to be dealt with. All that matters is soaking the earth with their blood, and filling the air with their useless cries for mercy." Luca's surprising words of wisdom had Jowy, Ryudo, and Kharg nodding along. Darc was having no part of it. "Hmmph. No need for me to work with human scum like yourselves. I'm out of here." Darc began to walk away, when Kharg grabbed his arm. "Darc, don't be so damn dense, we can work together and wi-" Kharg's words were broken up by Darc's fist flooring him. "Human scum. You're no longer needed." Darc's words were barely out of his mouth before Kharg sprung to his feet, and drew his sword. "We settle this now, Darc!" The two brothers began a breathtaking swordfight... that was interupted by the sounds of a certain silver haired man approaching. Drawing Masamune, Sephiroth pulled his mighty sword to it's full height, and cut Kharg in half. Lowering his sword, Sephiroth smiled. "Did you forget that we were watching? You know that attacking your teammates is against the rules. I'm afraid I have to show you what happens if you decide to disobey me." Whirling around to face Kharg, Sephiroth summoned his innate magical powers, and struck Darc down with Bolt 3. A graceful slice from Masamune ended any resistance from the Deimos warrior. Noticing the dirty look Melfice shot him, Sephiroth's smile turned into a grin. "Ah, Melfice. How's your fiancee doing? Not well? You look angry with me. Care to continue where we left off during season three?" "Bwahahaha. A pig with a sense of humor!" Luca's mad laugher was an unsettling sound at any time, but to the angry Melfice, it sounded like a call to arms. With a wordless shriek for what was lost, Melfice charged the SOLIDER, Maken Valenborg shining in his hand. Melfice's furious strikes quickly overwhelmed Sephiroth's casual defenses, forcing him to his knees. "Heh.. I see that you can best me when I'm not trying. You're not bad...but still out of my league!" With a flash of light, Sephiroth jumped into the air, and called to Jenova. It became obvious to the fighters that if they wanted to strike Sephiroth down, this would be the time. "NOW!" Before Sephiroth could raise his defenes, a wave of black energy hit him, courtesy of Jowy's Black Sword Rune. The blow knocked the One Winged Angel back on his heels. Just as he was recovering... "Sworn enemies, take this!" Ryudo's Sky Dragon Slash knocked Sephiroth to the ground. A furry of spells, stabs, and curses quickly followed the opening strikes. Although Sephiroth is a powerful fighter, not even he can handle four hardened fighters at once. He dropped to the arena floor, a beaten man. Luca, Jowy, Melfice, and Ryudo had all taken hits during the battle, but they had won. All that was needed was to walk out of the maze.. "You all disappoint me. Given a simple task to work together, you instead chose to strike down your gracious host, and disobey the rules." Edgar shook his head, and reached for one of his tools. "I'm afraid that your actions won't be tolerated." Edgar aimed his Noiseblaster, and used it. A dischordant harmony filled the arena. Melfice and Luca looked puzzled as the attack had no effect on them. For Jowy, on the other hand.. With a jerking motion, Jowy lifted his hand, and fired off his last charge of Hungry Friend at Ryudo and Luca. Luca took the blow well enough, but Ryudo.. The magical energy ripped through the Geohound, knocking him into a wall, and blasting the life from his body. Luca, annoyed, walked up to Jowy, and slapped him. "What was that for, PIG?" Jowy's blank stare turned to normal. "Wha.. what happened?" He looked towards Melfice, and turned pale. The Horn of Valmar's sword was shaking in his hand, and he had a look of rage on his face. "You'll pay for that.." Melfice's Demon Horde Slash opened a gaping hole in the earth near Luca and Jowy. Before they could react, Melfice followed this up with Quake, knocking the pair into the new abyss in the ground. Dropping his sword onto the ground, Melfice walked over to Ryudo, and shook his head. "How could this have happened?" "Did you not hear me before? You broke the rules, and now you pay the price. Sabin?" "YAAAAAAAAAH!" Sabin's Bum Rush attacked hit the weakened Melfice, knocking him to his knees. "Tisk, tisk. I wish this had turned out better for you. You and Ryudo have come so far..." Edgar's shining blade was the last thing Melfice saw. Melfice and Ryudo: 10 Luca and Jowy: 9 Kharg and Darc: 1 Death: 15 Revenge: 11 MepMep
