Aurora snapped her fingers and small orbs that emitted flames, lit up the dank cave. It rotated around the three of them. "You haven't told me how you're alive. That was a hydrogen bomb and according to reports you were dead center in the explosion." Sjor'kai said as he observed the orbs slightly impressed.Aurora stared straight into his eyes as if expecting something, "If... and only if we told you. Would you join Ragnarök once more?" Her cold green eyes reflected the flames that gave life to the dark cave. Sjor'kai was the first to break eye contact and looked towards the dark wooden entrance littered with fading rustic paint, Too fragile from the touch of time."No... I don't think I could anymore." He said with a tone that's filled with mockery. Whether it's to himself or Ragnarök, maybe even both it didn't matter at that moment. Aurora then looked towards the ground clenching her fist. "Then what are you going to do with that information? For closure? Don't make me fucking laug
Nick coughed loudly and spat the mouthful of dirt in his mouth, "Fuck! This is what I get for even trying to help." Nex chuckled at his predicament. Not noticing the leg sweep the Alpha Para-Necta that was approaching her.The masked man disappeared from his original position. His legs and blade glowed blue as he parried the strike towards the side. Nex saw this and opened her eyes wide. She stared at his back, at Ragnarök's symbol. With conflicting emotions.She sighed and reloaded her guns casually, "Thanks you saved me." She said as she tried to get a read on the masked man, To see if she was right, But the longer she stared something felt wrong. An uncomfortable feeling rose inside her heart. A Strange dissonance from what she's seeing and feeling. She tried to reach for the mask, but her hands just passed through him. He was back in his original position. He dashed once more to sweep on the Para-Necta's leg. It fell with a loud thud.She clicked her tongue as she stared at the ma
Aurora went near the altar and observed it from top to bottom. Nick stared at the three statues as he put his hand on his waist. He scratched his chin as he narrowed his eyes. "Don't you guys get like there is this Temple of Doom-ish kind of vibe? Like from this statues." He said as he poked the sword lodged on the statues. Everyone looked at him as if he was an idiot. Nex raised her eyebrows, "Temple of what?""You know from that movie. Well it's an old-" He stopped Midway noticing that no one here gave a damn. "Nevermind..." He said as he sighed. Nex went near him and patted his shoulders and gave him a smile filled with mockery.Nick however ignored all the mockery and kept fiddling with the swords. After a while he leaned his arm on the large sword handle pushing it down and a large click was heard. A loud rumble was heard from a distance. Nick immediately felt cold sweat start to appear behind his back. He smiled wryly towards the others glaring at him.But soon a door opened. Ni
Nex chuckled to herself weakly, "All I wanted was to become stronger. Was that too much to ask?" She said in a soft voice. Nick smiled wryly, "To be strong huh. Yeah, still a kid." He said as he chuckled. Nex frowned, "Fuck! you look as young as me so don't even try!"But as Nick was about to reply the rumbling sounds stopped. He furrowed his brows he stared at the dark narrow passage they went through earlier. A loud crash was heard as the huge Para-Necta dug around the walls to get to the room. Nick ran as fast as he could while assisting Nex. However his speed was affected by the extra person. He caressed his ring a small vial appeared and he threw it towards the right entrance. He threw Nex after the vial exploded with white mist. She struggled to try and reach out to Nick.>He chanted and a large wall made of the materials of the temple popped up underneath separating her from her partner. "Shit! Nick!"He smiled at her as he dodged the Para-Necta's strikes, "Yo
What came out front the narrow hallway, was Alex and his men seemingly exhausted from the previous battle. They were probably chased by those Para-Nectas. Only 8 of them came out of the hallway. They immediately saw Nex leaning in the corner. They aimed their guns at her direction, However Alex quickly stopped them. He gave an amicable smile towards Nex. She spat on the ground and lowered her guns."Miss Nex, What a coincidence. It seems you and Magitech are really fated." He said as he pulled a chair and sat down. He gestured for Nex to do the same. He looked at one of his men carrying a large bag, he pointed towards the table and said, "Let's rest."Nex was glaring at all of them not letting her guard down. He laid out an entire array of canned goods. It's tempting aroma wafted through the air. "Why don't we have a truce, And join us? What do you say Miss Nex?" She narrowed her eyes as she stared at him directly in the eyes. "What are you playing at Alex?"He shrugged his shoulders,
"You know you're the first to kill me in a really long time." Nick's voice echoed in the room. "Given that I got really complacent since it's been so long." His body was soon covered by a white pale fire. He then stood up, his injuries gone. He smiled at his towering opponent, "Well it was good effort at least."His upper clothes were torched by the flames revealing an extremely well built body and large tattoo on the middle of his chest. A circle,It was an image of a black snake eating its own tail. Inside of the circle was an inverted pentagram crimson in color. In every edge of the pentagram lay a red gem pulsating with power. The Alpha Para-Necta lowered it's stance, backing away slightly, as it screeched.He cracked his knuckles and stretched. Every stretch his bones would give a loud crack. "Damn that feels good!" He said as he bobbed up and down. He punched the air a few times. "Because of you my favorite shirt is ruined. Normally I don't want to kill anyone as much as I can."
Nick scratched his head and stared at the rubble covered pathway. He sighed as He took out a yellow chalk from his ring and started to draw a small magic circle on the ground.>He said, after awhile the circle glowed and opened a portal. Three small humanoid creatures came out of the portal. They had green skin, and yellow eyes. These goblin like creatures took out their pickaxes made out of diamond. They grinned and their fangs showed as they stared at Nick.[Gi Gigi-gigi Gigigi!] It spoke as it tapped it's pot belly. "What do you mean your increasing the service fee!? 30 gold per hour is what we agreed on." He said as his expression darkened. [Gigigiig gigiii] It said as they waved their pick axes around. "Goddamn, what do you mean you haven't paid your 401k this month! Shit! I keep telling you guys just stash the fucking gold. The Circle's getting antsy because of the incident with Magite
They all stepped back, "Shit! Hold your fire! We might hit each other!" Behind the veil of smoke, Alex felt a knife's edge rest against his neck, "My goal is different from you lot. I aim to burn Magitech down to the ground. There is no room for compromise. I am the monster Magitech created." She leaned in closer and spoke in a soft whisper, "And this Monster will tear you all to shreds. I will not stop until you're all dead." She said as she stabbed him on his leg. It was immediately followed by the screaming from two of his men.She ran straight towards the passageway on the other side of the mess hall. The pale blue light grew brighter as she got closer. She entered a hexagonal room. Suddenly torches from each side lit up. It Burned in Bright Blue flames. Shadow like tendrils wrapped on her hand pulling her closer towards the book in the middle of the room. Constant whispers that tempt her towards it echo beside her ears. A step followed by another turning into a full dash. She sto
