Adam could hardly stand, when he finished he fell to his knees. he looked up, and saw the evil inside Tyler
"I hate my life" was all he could mutter before trying to stand up to defend himself...
Ty'lak the Eliminator took only a minute to get his bearings in this world, strutting forwards on his two legs he stard and grinned at Adam,who was only an inch away from his own demonic face.
"What was it you said,Mr Hastoria? this part of the lesson pits you against your worst fears? well....I hate to keep you waiting..so here I am!"
He lapt in the air and hovered, levitating a ball of fire in his right palm,which had become a huge talon.
Adam lowered his head and prayed. he started to rapidly get his energy back but it didn't seem to be enough, or was it?
Ty'laks growing need for bloodshed overcame his reason and he threw the fire ball at where Adam sat,praying.
"Mr Hastoria,we tire of your faith it'll all turn out alright....let us put you out of your misery."
a microsecond before the flamming talon hit him, it was pushed out the way by a red lightning bolt... thats right, a red one. the bolt was sent from none other than Alice, aka Arneca
"you know, i really think my future boyfriend needs to be alive if I am going to be with him. you need to calm down!" she fired a bolt of powerfull lightning at Ty'lak before super-speeding to Adam's aid
"long enough?" Alice asked
"yeah, just about. but one thing bothers me... why are you helping me instead of killing me?" Adam asked, getting beck up
"I'll explain later"
Ty'lak tried to dodge,but it hit him squarely on the shoulder wihch souldered briefly...he looked annoyed now.
"Need reiinforcements Adam? can't fight by yourself?"
He shot another bolt at the girl who had spoilt his fun,
"lesson one,don't [censored] off a demon"
Adam drew his weapons from the air and used the mirror shield to reflect the bolt
"Explain in three words and then we need to get my brother to exorcise the evil in Tyler, got it?"
"uh, I like you" was all Alice said
"well, I like you to. now can you do me a favour and speed on down to Steel canyon and grab John? he's done this kind of thing before" Adam explained. Alice gave a nod and sped off out of the building
"hey Ty'lak, remmember me telling you Shaventos was a great arch mage? I lied, HE'S A GOD!!!" Adam put away his weapons and flew headlong at Ty'lak, both hands covered in sacred light
Ty'lak just smiled,and dissappeared into a huge ball of flame,making Adams attack in vain,
"idiot boy" he remarked,appearing behind Adam "You really think thats enough?"
Once again he girnned and shot a huge bolt of fire at Adam...but it didn't explode,instead,mid-ar, it burst into tohusands of tiny sparks which grew into hellish beats of flame,each about 5 feet tall,
"It will NEVER be enough!"
"Good fight this aint it?" Pious asked, spectating from his impenetrable force field.
"Indeed. I had no idea Tyler could be this dangerous, I'm rooting for the great Acenra" Myrtyl replied.
"Pfft. if you love him that much, why dont you go kiss him?" Myrtyl was not impressed.
"You're jealous arent you?" she was hidden, invisible so as not to be caught in the fight. "Pious, you're pathetic." She shot him a sharp look and left the training room.
Pious sighed. Great! Good going you fool, now what? Suddenly, a thunderous line of fire came hurtling past him, deflected only by his spherical shield. Jesu! E pa ripa "This fight is going berserk"
Adam now felt like he had lost his friend for good. there was no way he could hurt him either way. so he did the noble thing. he leant down on one knee an bowed his head
"Fine. but I just want you to know that I'm sorry. it was wrong of me to unleash Ty'lak. but if you feel like I deserve this, go ahead, strike me down" he said, awaiting the fire balls to bring his final demise, but it seemed one dark warrior was not happy about Adam's descision...
Ty'lak did a very unexpected thing,he burst out laughing,
"You think I'm going to kill you? now wheres the fun in that?"
Gliding to where Adam knelt,he borught his foot back and kicked hard,straight to Adams face,
"Oh no,what I'll do is MUCH worse,I'm gonna torture you,break every bone in yuor body,and watch the look on your face as you see everyone you love die."
"Now THAT'S where I draw the line!" Shadow appeared, firing a kick ten times as hard as Ty'lak's "I see you never learnt what I taught you. you see, if you do manage to kill him, the whole fabric of reality will tear, and there will be no world for you to rule. And, what you were going to do is my job" he used his tendrils to shock Ty'lak, trying to seperate Ty'lak from Tyler
"you are abusing my power child" Shadow stated "I'm going to halve it and give the other half to Tyler, that only seems fair, then I'll put you in the body of something more... suiting, a pig perhaps, or maybe a rat. and what you were going to do to Adam, I'll do to you"
Adam healed his jaw and looked up, seeing Shadow... help him?
~hey, he was going to kill you, he cant do my job!~
Ty'lak rolled out of the way of the kick and shot a firebolt at the tendrils,diminishing any effect they would have had on him.
"OOO,your powerful....this is gonna be so fun....I just wish you two had of been gift wrapped."
"Ah, one of my sons must of taught you well. however, no one beats the best" as fast as lightning, Shadow had a grip around Ty'lak's throat, before wrapping his entire body with darkened tendrils, no airways "as you've just seen, now, where was I?"
"Shadow, don't hurt him"
"Ah, no worries, I'll just take Ty'lak's spirit away from Tyler's body and give him a shadow form, then i'll kick the [censored] out of him while Tyler is in a coma for an hour, Tyler will still have his power and even get to stay here, happy?"
"Confused and disturbed"
"close enough" Shadow dismissed as he set to work
"Now you see,I really don't like that plan,in fact,mine works better for me"
His body exploding in an erutpion of white hot flame,Ty'lak broke free of the bonds and flew to the top of the building,shouting down,
"Don't quit yet,this is getting fun!"
Shadow took in a deep breath and shrieked at an eardrum bursting tone. then by using a spell to keep the noise going, he flew light a dark comet at Ty'lak
"Never abuse my power again!"
Throwing his hands forward,Ty'lak thrust hisentire body towards Shadow,but amazingly swooped away at the last minute.
Concentrating and chatning he shot a firebolt to the ceiling,seding rubble to the ground,heading for the exit, he noted,
"This isn't over,don't think this is the last time you'll see me,next time U'll make sure your grovelling for mercy"
"Un fortunatley, there will not be a next time" Shadow growled. with a click of his fingers, a portal opened, and tendrils started to grab Ty'lak and restrain him. Shadow walked up to him and whispered in his ear
"One evil demon to another, follow me in here and I'll make you a deal you can't refuse, trust me, for people like us, it's iresistable. and there's kind of no option, you break free, and you have us to deal with" he clicked his fingers again and an animated army of minions appeared behind him, with half of them blocking the freshly made exit.
Ty'lak grinned,enjoying himself,
"How come I don't trust you?"
"because your brain has been damaged. I'm honest, and I know that there's a part of you that wants this deal, and another that knows what it is. you should trust me because I can give you anything you want. and I mean anything, all you have to do is listen to my offer" he grinned evilly and gestured towards Adam, who was clueless to the whole thing
"and I wouldn't think of a plan to escape. among my hundreds of abilities, i read minds, I even know what your first memory was and how I can torment you for all eternity."
"oh,you make such a good offer...could tempt the devil back to Heaven..."
Ty'lak glided forwards and held out his hand
"Its a deal"
"Excelent! this way please!" Shadow was rather chiper with this remark. He stepped into the portal after gesturing to Ty'lak to follow him in. inside was a massive city ruin. people screaming in pain and fear, Shadow daemons running rampant, corpses lined the streets. A bad guy's dream world.
"Now, I'm going to tell you what I want and how I can give us an advantage for years to come, agreed?"
"ha!"
Ty'lak just grinned,
"You think I'm off into your dimension with no solid proof I won't get vapourised? Dont thin so,your gonna draw blood on this...make a soul pact,you break this deal and you die,same goes for me,kapiche?"
"you wont get vapourised. this is where all dark magic originated, much like yours. now get in here! you'll like it! the only people the miasma harms are those who managed to control light magic" he shook ty'lak's hand from the other side of the portal
"Kapiche. now, can you come in here? I'm getting bored and i want this over and done with before John get's here with something that might kill you"
Tyler coughed and hacked on the floor,his body intensely hot even though hid clothes had being burnt off his body and the floor was near on freezing.
His eyes shot open when Adam used his magic on him,his body bolting up, he shouted at the top of his voice
"AARON!"
Falling onto the floor, it became noticeable his eyes were an intense black colour, and his body was roaring with flame now,crouching down on all fours he stared at adams eyes and painfully grabbed his back,ripping off skin and pulling out a pair of leathery black wings,which beat hurriedly,adjusting to the atmosphere.
Growling at Adam,he approached the boy who was so tried from healing him,grinning wickedly.
