Ketran...The Final Fight...

[Cross Card]

Cross stood and waited in Ketran. His short blue hair hang down from his head. He looked around and saw only stars and house tops also some neon lights. They were gonna face on a house roof. It were almost 50ft to the ground and it would hurt pretty much if someone landed there. He wore a white/light blue jacket with a green serpent on the back. He also wears a black sleeve shirt with a white cross over the front side. His pants were black baggy pants and had ciggarettes in the right pocket and a lollipop in the left. He picked up a ciggarette then held up his hand and lighted it with his finger. "Ketran come out now...I don't bite...I just punch" He laughed as he still waited for his "freind" to arrive. His knuckles waited for Ketran to arrive so they could punch him hard and defeat him fast. He used the his own fighting style. "Kajinogu Style" A Style which uses Martial arts and fire arts to fight with. A cold breeze dragged in over their arena which could be someones death or just defeat this day.

[Ketran Asimeth]

The cool air pleased him, for the shill always increased his awareness, and keened his senses as a blade on the stone. The man had once been a friend, the very man who stood there now and offered this challenge to him. Such a friend he would have trusted with his life, and yet now they had become such bitter enemies. Cross's penchant for betrayal incited the rage that he thought had subsided, yet the wounds of the past flared forth from the scars of battle.

His dark cloak billowed behind him, as if he was wreathed in the very shadow of night, a liquid darkness that had not yet been reproduced by mortal hands. His dark blue eyes gazed past the raven black hair that fell in strands across his face, his mind focused on the task at hand. His breathing was steady, and his heartbeat slow and ready. His body was charged, powered by the eternal force of temperal energies that writhed and mixed with the pure magic of his birthright. This combined to make quite a deadly archmage indeed.

"You would fight me? Yet only so many days ago you proclaimed me five times your better. Confusing, do you think such an increase in skill can be gained in such a short time? I guess we shall see..." Ketran spoke, his deep voice echoeing through the cold air as he spoke to Cross.

With a clear ringing that announced the freedom of his deeply blue blade, he smiled to himself, savoring the tone of it as it faded into the night. His half smile turned to a deadly serious face, and no emotion played in the raptor gaze he held on Cross.

"You may or may not remember, but I offer first move to my challenger. Use it well..." The finality of his tone showed his intent on finishing this age old fued, and avenging the honor which was stripped him when someone so close became the enemy.

[Cross Card]

"Well i thank you..." His hands which were free from any material thing got into a crimson colored burning blaze. He opened his hand slowly showing the flame. "This flame...Isn't it beautiful? It will be your defeat Ketran my freind..." His knuckles which were reflecting every little movement of the fire. His jacket blew with the wind...This were the final shodown for either Ketran or Cross.

With a cold smile he dashed at Ketran, his boots were echoing in the cold lifeless air. This man had an outstanding power and an old clan partner...Now just a enemy as everyone else...His cold smile turned into a cold grin as forced power into his hand and his knuckle were heading against Ketran's chin just for a taste of his fires. He also prepared a kick so if his punch missed the kick would do the work.

The air got even colder and colder. His fire within him held him warm...for the moment. The neon lights began to take fires and a total chaos dragged into the city. A powerful storm was heading at the direction they were fighting at. His rage against Ketran was big, so arrogant...so...freindly sometimes...Such a good partner...Still just another enemy. His thoughts could stop this fight but still...He were here to fight not to bring peace. Suddenly the rain began to soak down and Cross blue eyes began to reflect the rain drops but more making waves in his eyes than rain drops...

[Ketran Asimeth]

His mind was bolted from it serenity to the precious moments of the here and now. The fire of his enemy burned hard, despite the cold in the air. The chill served to highten him only further, allowing his reflexes to be hightened giving him more time to react to whatever Cross would throw at him. Seeing the blazing hand pushing forth at him, a dodge rather then a block would serve him better in such a position.

The punch was heading for his face, to connect with his chin would cause great damage, and the fire served only to sear his flesh from his body. His neck cracked as he jolted his head to the side, the fist of flame hissing as it passed very close to him. His skin warmed, and then became painfully hot due to the proximity, and Ketran now looked to see a kick coming for him. His mind was not so feeble to think the punch would be his only attack, and Ketran was prepared for such a manouvre.

Using the practiced moves of his acrobatic training, his legs moved out, and they held balance on the roof in front and behind him, and his frame ducked under the kick, now placing Ketran in a very good position. Pushing his open hand forth, the blue energy inside his poured into the slightly crooked fingers, creating an orb of destructive power. Centering his vision, his eyes focused on the chest of Cross, illuminating it with a small dot of blue light. Holding his eyes, and now hurling the orb from such a short distance, his teeth bared as he pushed it forth.

The orb would seek the target even if it missed upon the first pass, and with Cross being so close, it would be a difficult thing to dodge. This orb would not kill, but explode outward, taking off flesh and rupturing bone tissue. It was not a pretty sight.

Ketran now put effort into his foreward leg, raising himself up into a position of defense, his blade held at the ready as he waited for the reaction of Cross to his attack. Cross now showed he had abilities, of that Ketran was certain. The man commanded the fires, and his martial arts were more then Ketran might have anticipated. It was true, he had underestimate him, but that did not mean he would fight scared, he would fight as he always did, with pride and honor. Something, it seemed, Cross did not know of.

Cross was alone now, no clan, seemingly no friends, and a part of Ketran almost felt sorry for him. Such feelings were wiped clean when he remembered what this man had done, not once but twice, to friends of his. It mattered no longer, for this fight would finish this, once and for all.

"We could have been allies, I would have fought with you to the end, yet you chose the easy path, the path of betrayal. Where are they now? Those you sold us out to, where is NERV when you need them the most? Your lack of allies is your own doing, know that and blame no one else for it." Ketran yelled to the man, despite the pouring rain, his cloak remained dry and still moved in it's haunting dance.

[Cross Card]

"I know we've could been allies...But right now i feel...Like you felt for a while ago...You wanted to stand alone for a while...And so you did...And also so do i..." He watched the orb crash into his chest. The ball caused some kind of force that hurled him into the edge of the roof. He heard the sound...The sound of pain swirling in his head. Now he just had one thing in his mind...Fires of Hell. His hand were fast surrounded by flames when he standed up. The fires were almost crimson colored but more dark colored than light colored. His hands which now were engulfed in flames began to spread over the roof top and slowly width it's area causing a large image of fire in the sky to appear. The image were the same as his back of his jacket...A serpent. The serpent suddenly took life and blasted fire, or more like magma infront of Ketran's feet. Cross grinned as he raised his hands up in the air and making the fires to rise 5ft up in the air "Phoneix...Destroy him"

His hands suddenly turned bloodred and he waved with his hand infront of him as the fires were shot at Ketran. The fires took the form as a phoneix...The bird of life. It were heading at a strait direction at Ketran aiming for his chest. This could lead to fires on his cloak and maybe melt his armor. The fires were more than 100 degrees maybe even more than 300 degrees. It were about 250 degees so it had it's might to burn up stuff. "I hope you like fires...Cause here it comes" His left hand which still were in fires waved once and maked a "Déja vu" which means the same thing happens twice or more. 2 phoneix were heading at Ketran in a speed no man could match.

[Ketran Asimeth]

"I stand alone? Heh, yes you might think that." Ketran chuckled slightly, and then regained his composure and his face took on a look of deadly seriousness. His mind was focused, and he watched as Cross unleashed his next attack.

The fires burned on Cross's hands, the man controlled his power quite well. The fire rose forth, and the man issued a command, he called upon the legendary pheonix, a creation of fire that was very destructive, and quite deadly when controlled by the right people. Then, a serpent of fire poured magma at Ketrans feet, but quick thinking could save him this time. Launching himself into the air, he back flipped and landed back a few feet, giving himself more time to react to any other attack.

Seeing the pheonix coming toward him with great speed, he was almost surprised as he saw not one, but two of the great beasts. The fire reflected in his deep blue eyes, and he now held his blue bladed weapon ready, knowing full well of it's enchantments. The deep hue of the blade reflected it's powers, not only the enchantment of Temperal energy, but also the blue fire that burned inside Ketran as well. Knowing that blue fire and red fire could not co exists, and cancel each other, he now readied his body for his next move.

Launching himself upward, his blade whirled and cut the air quickly, showing his skill and speed with the blade. The pheonix came upward, following him, and he spun the blade around, bringing it down on top of the pheonix. He cleaved it once, and then brought the blade around again, taking off sections and watched the fire dissapate into nothingness. Keeping his minds eye also upon the second one, his blade was too far out to enact the same manouvre. He held out his palm, and brought forth the blue fire inside of him, creating a large orb about five feet in diameter. With teeth clenched, he grunted with effort and hurled it toward the pheonix, and watched as it carried straight through, the beast becoming startled. The orb passed straight through, leaving only wisps of heat to show of the pheonix's existance.

Holding control over the still moving orb, he landed on his feet, and looked at cross with the blue fire blazing in his eyes.

"You create beasts of fire, now how would you deal with one when it becomes your adversary." Ketran yelled, and weaved his hands in a blur of speed.

The blue orb shifted, and warped into the form of a large Kria beast. It was a large lizard, that walked on two legs, and held talons that were two feet long. It now streaked with deadly intent toward Cross, and screamed something even the sirens would cringe at hearing. The scream was one of the fire beasts attributes, for it caused paralasis in most all who heard it, save the one who commanded it, who would be unaffected. If one did manage to escape the screaming grasp, it would be all but too late for them to dodge the beast, who held speed greater then any man could ever command.

[Cross Card]

"Heheh...If i can't use flames on...I'll just stand here...I'm 95% immune against fires so i can take his blows pretty easily" He yelled as his Serpent to fight it. Suddenly he heard the scream...He fell down to his screaming in pain. Suddenly he were tired of the screaming so he opened his hand and a huge green fireball appeared in his hand...It was a Explosion Orb. He hurled the ball at the Kria beast and watched it's head explode but when the head exploded his Serpent turned into a small flame and a stone. "Let's do it this way...No Summonings...The Phoneix were a attack.." He said as he maked a copy of Ketran's sword...Just done in flames "Let's go...I hope my sword skills still is with me."

He held the sword with his right hand soon the left hand soon held the hilt too. He forced powers into his right leg and leaped against Ketran. He landed atleast 3ft from him and with the blade at his back. He jumped up in the air and with a swift cleave he well cleaved towards Ketran's head. Ketran could easily block this attack but still Cross could enchant the sword with magical fire.

[Ketran Asimeth]

"Fine, if you want a clash of blades then you shall have it." Ketran said, and held his blade ready as Cross leaped forth toward him. Ketran held his feet shoulder width apart, and held his dark gaze upon the warrior who now landed a few feet from him and launched himself in the air.

The blade of fire his opponent wielded held no worry for him, having a blade that could stand even the worst heat was very useful. Moving the keen edge upward, toward the fiery sword that came for his neck, a clash of sparks flew wildy, covering the area in a bright light for but a moment. His muscles strained as he brought his blade back for a strike. Cross was still in the air, making any sort of block relatively impossible. Knowing that this put him and the advantage, Ketran poured his strength outward and forced his blade in a one eighty spin that brought it to Cross' back. Knowing his strength would carry the blade through the man's body if he did not block, this may just end the fight. Any attempt to dodge would also be hampered by the fact that Cross remained in the air.

[K´ Dash]

Kosiguru stood, his body leaned against the wall, watching the fight with many keen precision glances. he watches as this man Cross, who he heard had helped in aid NERV in finding ketran and others defended his Honor. Then there was Ketran, the one time most trusted ally, his one time greatest freind, who deneid Kosiguru's offer to join him the the bringing down of the Advocates betrayed him. Kosiguru could no longer listen to Ketran babble about "Betrayel".

He stood off of the wall, and dropped the ripe juicey red apple he had been eating, wiping his hands off onto his jacket... My dear old freind Ketran, you seem to have alot of words to speak, and yet not enough braines to relise to what you speak of...

He said as he stepped out from the shadow, revealing the face behind the voice. The look upon his face was frightening, yet calming to his kind, and he walked with a slow cocky stride towards the two.

You speak of betrayel to this young boy, and tell him the ones that he so called "Sold you out" to, arent here for his support, well you had better re-think your words clearly, cause we at NERV take care of our informents...

[ShadowSoldier]

Striding in out of the opposite wall, Serge dropped the cigarette he had been puffing on and stamped it out with his cold black boots. He had been watching the fight with interest, and when Kosiguru had interfered, he decided it was enough. Even if NERV was dying, Kosiguru represented the Arrogance the clan had once shown all to well, and he couldn't let that continue. Ketran was his ally, his friend. They had stood together while others flocked away. They had faced the Sleepers on the side of the Advocates while the recruits fled in terror, and they had survived.

The hilt of his sword gleamed in the light as he raised a gloved finger and pointed it at Kosiguru. "Now, now Kosiguru. You really shouldn't be sticking your nose in other people's business. NERV may watch its members closely, but the former Advocates of Fire reign supreme in the honor division." He said, his voice soft but firm. If it came to mroe bloodshed, he would not fear it. Ketran had stood by his side as the Advocates crumbled, and he had taken an oath of fellowship with the man. No one would make him back down now.

[Cross Card]

The appearance of Kosiguru caused a shock for Cross also a deep pain within his back. Ketran's sword totaly stabbed him through the back to his stomach. Cross's sword began to vanish in some particles that it turned into in seconds. He growled as he landed on the roof with Ketran's sword through him. Blood spilled the roof and Cross turned around and took out the sword and threw it at Ketran's feet. Now Cross were insane...His hands got into a Burning green colored flame and he began to levitate. His legs began to shake with some kind of psychic power. His shirt began to vanish with a flame and some kind of runes were drawed on his chest. His hair turned burning red, also his pants turned into black and then turned into black silk pants.

He held out his hand and a purple ball which had a outstanding aura an outstanding strong aura....The ball suddenly loosed it's grip from his hand and the ball were free to move around. The ball instantly dived at Kosiguru and it would create a giant explosion after the ball...Also if Kosiguru did survive the strike he would proably just send a larger one and break the whole house into pieces.

[Ketran Asimeth]

"Truly, Kosiguru, there was a time when I would have taken your words as truth. Sadly, there remains none but you here to back NERV's informants. Besides, betrayal is merely a bonus now, I seek Cross for different reasons. If you knew more about the situation, you might not have barged in thinking of defending this traitor, but sadly your emotions still rule you. Fear, as we know, was once most predominant in your mind. Else, why would you have left us at our most desperate time? You have become skilled in the ways of arrogance, Arata has taught you well..." Ketran said to Kosiguru, who had appeared in the area. There was a time that Ketran would have died for the man, followed him into any battle and fought against all odds. Fate, it seemed was a harsh mistress, for Ketran fought against all odds with no Kosiguru at his side. It was Shadow who stayed, so far the only Advocate who did not just leave or betray them.

Then, as of that moment, Shadow arrived upon the scene. He truly had a good friend, for even Ketran would find it difficult to take down two opponents. Difficult, but not impossible. With Shadow here, the threat of Kosiguru was gone, Shadow was skilled enough to handle most anyone, and Ketran trusted that watching his back should not be too difficult.

"My friend, I appreciate your arrival. Honor, it seems, resides only within a select few." Ketran said, knowing that their friendship was one of the few things to survive the Advocate conflict, besides themselves. His mind was taken from thoughts of the past, when his blade hit home and sliced into Cross. The man landed with his sword inside of him, and hastily removed and hurled it toward Ketran.

The weapon was tuned to him, and it took some effort to slow the blade, and bring it to his awaiting hands. It was covered in blood, and Cross's eyes became wild, his power changed and he looked almost...insane. The power the man now gathered looked to be quite deadly, and Ketran resumed his stance, but as the energy was thrown, he saw that it's intended target was not him, but Kosiguru. Sensing that this ball of power held inside of it the combined rage of both injury and hate, Ketran decided it would be best to get off the roof.

"Shadow, jump!" Ketran yelled, and launched himself off the roof and almost flew toward the ground below. His dark cloak blew behind him, and he picked up more speed in his descent then he would have liked. The temperal archmage landed hard, and he grunted in pain and fell to the ground. His ankle, it had always given him trouble. Twisting it with his hands, he stood up and tested it. It pained him, but it was nothing he couldn't block out should the need arise. Ketran looked to see not only how Kosiguru would fare, but if Shadow had gotten away in time.

[K´ Dash]

Kosiguru merely laughed at the sight of Shadow soldier, and he was overjoyed to see that he would have the honor of killing his tow most hated of freinds...However, his joy was cut down when Ketran's word's just a few moments ago. Cross Card betrayed Kosiguru as he came to his sim...and suddenly...and energy ball erupted into Kosiguru's Direction and Kosiguru had to flee, as well as leave, for his place was not hear any longer...maybe he really didnt know his place after all

[Cross Card]

His eyes turned to Shadow "Just jump!" He yelled as his head slowly turned to Kosiguru...Once a mate...Now a enemy...He surely didn't know what to do. "Kosiguru...It is suprising to see you here...We will finish this right here...Or are you too afraid?" He said as a large clown grin appeared on his face. His hand slowly was raised and a large yellow looking ball appeared in his hand. Was this his destiny? To die like a hero or a traitor? He had to do something for Ketran...He saved him once a time ago...He would kill this NERV member once it for all...The ball just grew larger and larger. The purple ball returned to his hand and created the ball even bigger. Some small yellow crystals began to appear from the clouds and the sun was glowing through some holes in the clouds. The crstals were heard giggling and laughing then they slowly gathered around the ball. The ball appeared to become bigger but it was just a illusion, the crystals were dancing around it in a dance that maked the power of the ball even bigger.

His hand began to glow with a white substance and suddenly he jumped up in the air fast as the lighting. He used psychic powers to knock Shadow off the roof...He would survive. But himself he was not sure if he would survive. He held down his hand as he crashed into the roof. A large explosion were spreading over the house. The explosion became bigger and bigger and soon were engulfed totaly. The house began to lift from the ground and he looked up then a giant purple ball appeared in his hand. The ball were dancing at Kosiguru...Kosiguru would just have one choice to flee...And that was to jump from 100ft height which could lead to instant death. The ball were now dashing at Kosiguru and in a second would be exploded in Kosiguru's chest.

[K´ Dash]

OoC: Cross Card, how do we know each other...Different Character you have, or had?

~{ Kosiguru Witnessed this happening, seeming to have all happend within' the blink of an eye. He had to Jump and Jump he did, the hieght was great...and he would have been dead, if it had not been for his cybernetic Implants...and as he fell and landed, he rolled of into the shadow and ran off, in search of something, or someone...}~

[ShadowSoldier]

Having been knocked off the roof, Shadow turned to see the ground rushing up at him as he righted himself from the mysterious force that had knocked him off the roof to begin with. The fall took mere seconds and he crumpled his legs under as he hit the ground rolling to soften the deadly impact. He survived, though he felt a small deal of pain in his left leg as he stood to brush himself off and look for Kosiguru. He easily spotted Ketran, but Cross was nowhere to be seen...

[Cross Card]

OOC- Counting on Account name..We were mates when i were Koji...

He slowly moved down to the roof again feeling that the house were starting to loose power and fall down. Now just some minutes to kill Kosiguru or Retreat. He didn't actually see Kosiguru so he walked to the edge of the roof and saw that they were near the ground so he jumped off the roof. He saw the house that were speeding at Ketran and Shadow. He wanted them to survive instead of him so he had one choice to make them survive, to use psychic powers to move them on another houseroof and take his place were they were and so he did. A small dust cloud appeared and moved Shadow and Ketran to a houseroof one mile away. Himself he were standing in the place instead of Shadow and Ketran as the house fell upon him...He was buried under the house also quite dead too.
