The fight before the storm

Reaper fell on his hands and knees. Blood has dripping from the tatters of Reaper’s shirt. Reaper looked around. He was in a dense forest. A scream rang out from the forest. ‘Angela’ Reaper thought desperately. He staggered to his feet then ran in the direction of the scream. He found the others laying in pools of water. Reaper moved a shook Aron. He grunted then looked at Reaper. "Where is Angela?" Reaper asked looking around. "Marik took her. Said he was going to meet you in the water village main street." Aron said slowly sitting up. "Keep watch over the others. I’ll be back. When they all wake up get to Zaid’s!" Reaper yelled running towards the water village.

The streets where empty. Reaper looked left and right trying to see anyone. He looked forward to see Marik standing in the middle of the street. "I’m glad you came! We have some unfinished business. Your path was too easy to learn where your friend was too much to pass up." Marik taunted. "What do you want from me Marik?" Yelled Reaper. "Your blood! You killed my wife and kids! They were at Atlantis the day you blew it up!" Marik yelled. "I never meant to do that! It was a accident!" Reaper yelled back unsheathing his sword. "I will tell you what happened that day!"

Reaper woke up. He was in a small room with white walls. "Tina?" He asked quietly. "Don’t worry." A nurse said with a sad smile. "Where is Tina?" Asked Reaper panic rising. "Settle down." The nurse told him sternly. Reaper tried to raise his body up but found he was tied down. His hands started to glow red. "Where is Tina?" He screamed thrashing about. The Demonic energy slowly started to work its way up. It crossed his chest lighting the room in a red glow. "Doctor!" Screamed the nurse into the hall. Several men in white coats entered the room. One was wearing a eye patch. Reaper looked at him in horror remembering the man who raped Tina. The Demonic energy was now consuming his legs and going up his neck. "What the fuck!" One of the doctors exclaimed taking a step back. The bonds tying him down broke. Reaper stood up his whole body consumed by demonic energy. "WHERE IS TINA?" He yelled clapping his hands together. The demonic energy came together and exploded. Reaper was consumed in the blast. He woke up in a pile of rubble. The sky was filled with nothing but smoke. ‘What have I done?’ Reaper asked himself turning his head side by side seeing the doctor’s dead bodies. Most of them were nothing but a slab of flesh.

"That is what happened! I could not control it so do not blame me!" Reaper yelled at Marik. "I don’t care! You killed them!" Marik yelled rushing forward swinging his sword in a downward arc. Reaper blocked the attack. "If you will not listen to reason then I will put it into you!" Reaper pushed Marik back. He then lunged forward moving his sword in a stabbing motion. Marik side stepped and jumped back. He placed his palm on the ground. "When I was little a Sprit entered my body. He was Katoge the wonderer, and I call him out!" A large pentagram made of spiritual energy appeared. Marik’s body was in the middle. After a blinding light another was with him. He had a stern face drawn with lines of care. "Before I was born Azakku demon lord and last holder of the tears of god entered my body." Reaper slammed his palm on the ground. After a blinding light Azakku stood with them. "Never though to see you again wonderer." Azakku said stretching. "Azakku. Last time I saw you were thrown from the heavens." Katoge said. The two foes jumped into the air and disappeared.

Azakku and Katoge landed on a roof nearby. "You have trained Marik well." Azakku complemented. "So did you. Shall we watch and see how are young apprentices do." Katoge said. Azakku nodded his head.

Marik and Reaper raised their palms. They both glowed then shot out a pure white beam. The two beams collided in the middle of the street throwing rubble into the air. "Where is Angela?" Asked Reaper. "Down the street" Marik replied. He then ran forward slashing his sword at Reaper. The blade dragged across Reaper’s chest. Reaper moved his sword in a upward arc catching Marik on the chin. The two took a couple of steps back then stared at each other. Reaper rushed forward jumping into the air, bringing his sword down into Marik’s shoulder. Marik pointed his sword upward as Reaper did this. Reaper landed on the sword. He could feel it sticking out of his back. The two look at each other. "Move!" Yelled Reaper. "DIE" Yelled Marik. His hands glowed. Reaper felt a electricity move up the blade and into Reaper. He yelled in pain as the sword shocked him. Reaper forced into his own spiritual energy into the sword. The katana burst into blue flames. The smell of cooking flesh entered the air. The two pulled their swords out then started to circle each other. The two were breathing hard. "I can do anything you can do!" Shouted Marik. "No you can’t." Reaper focused the pain of Tina into his katana. It started to glow brighter and brighter. Reaper then brought the sword into a downward arc. A large arc of spiritual energy shot out of the sword. Marik quickly dove to the side running into a building. The street turned to ruble. A large crack was running straight down what was left of the street. "You can not do what I can do." Reaper told Marik. He stared at the large crack. He stood up and moved to the center of the street. "Anything else?" He asked with a smirk on his face. Reaper rammed his sword into the ground. He felt the demonic energy flow through him and into the tattoos on his palms. The energy went up to Reaper’s shoulders then stopped. "Take this you mother Fucker!" As Reaper said that he clapped his hands together causing a large explosion. Marik slowly pulled himself of the ground. Their was a large cut above his right eye, and he might have broken a rib. Reapers arms were cut up and his trench coat has in tatters. He shrugged it off then picked up his sword. "How was that?" Reaper asked as Marik walked back holding his ribs.

Marik sheathed his sword then put both palms on the ground. "My sprit I call for you to come to this plain. I need your help to defeat my foe. Azarku the younger brother of the two soul dragons I call on you to aid me in my time of need!" Yelled Marik. A large dragon pulled itself out of his palms. It was made of spiritual energy. Reaper stared at the snarling dragon. "Beat that you bitch!" Marik yelled jumping on the back of the dragon. Reaper sheathed his sword and put his palms on the ground. "My sprit I call for you to come to this plain. I need your help to defeat my foe. Mazurka the older brother of the two soul dragons I call on you to aid me in my time of need!" Reaper yelled. A dragon similar to Marik’s but larger came into the battle. Reaper jumped on his dragons back. The two dragons beat their wings rising them into the air. They slowly climbed circling each other. Once they were high enough that the village spread out below them. Reaper and Marik pointed their swords at each other. "KILL MY FOE!" They both shouted. The dragons took a deep breath then shot a flame of spiritual energy at each other. The flames collided in the middle of the circle. A large explosion caused by the flames blew the two off their dragons. They plummeted back to earth. Reaper’s back was towards the ground. He looked up to see the two dragons continue their fight. He looked over to see Marik putting his hands in front of him as he plummeted

Reaper hit the ground hard. He felt ribs crack and blood flow down his head. After a little bit he slowly pulled himself up to his feet. Marik was already up, but his arms dangled in front of him. They were bruised and had lumps coming out of them. Reaper relished they were bones. "Move Marik." Reaper told him. "No." Marik said defiantly. The two dragons returned into their owners bodies. Reaper moved one of his hands and grasped his right wrist. The left hand glowed red then the demonic energy moved into his arm. Reaper put it all into his right arm. He watched in amazement as his arm turned black. It only was his hand and up stopping at his elbow. "I mobbed my demonic energy into my hand. Now I can use my demonic energy in other ways." Reaper looked at his hand and realized that the tattoo was white and appeared on both sides. ‘One side for spiritual energy the other with demonic’ Reaper thought. He raised the Black Hand and shot a red beam into Marik. A perfect hole appeared in his chest. Reaper shoat another and another into Marik. A scaly hand grabbed hold and pushed Reaper’s arm down. "You won." Azakku said. Reaper nodded. Azakku then disappeared into Reaper’s arm. Reaper watched as the wonderer picked up Marik’s body then walk away.

Reaper was at the end of the street. A large domed building was in front of him. He pushed open the double doors and stepped inside. Angela was tied to a chair blindfolded. "Reaper?" She asked. "Yea it’s me." Reaper said pushing the blindfold off her eyes. He quickly cut the cords that held her. "What happened to you and the trench coat?" She asked. "Marik. Let’s get out of here." Reaper said putting his arm around her shoulder. "What happened to your arm!!?" She screamed. "Want to be my girlfriend?" Reaper asked suddenly. "Sure." Angela said kissing Reaper. "Please do not push on the wounds." Reaper told her laughing. Angela joined in. The two walked down the ruined street laughing all the way.
