Avalon: The world of no return

Vin blocked Romeo's attacks and hit his shoulder with the flat of his blade. "I told you not to play this game with me. The military doesn't rank me first sergent for slacking off." His eyes slid to Ash, no flaws in his dark circle anymore...so he had gotten better since the last time he'd seen him. "Ash, don't do this. Don't sacrifice a boy's life for your own benefit."

Ash ignored him. The thought of the thread almost in grasp. Reaching his hand into the dark circle, he imagined the thread and so, he would grab it.

 

Kyoko slashed her way through the wolves, getting closer to the orange tiger cub in a circle of them. "Come here, come to me." She grabbed the tiger and ran up the hill, seeing that Sakura had followed her. "Sakura!" She shouted, dissapating in the wind.

Sakura looked up, and saw that Kyo had disapeared. She nodded and turned into a soft pink mist, scaring the nearest wolves. Seconds later, she and Kyoko were checking the tiger's wounds, who squirmed a little. "Okay, she's all good."

 

Romeo swung his reverse held sword at Vin's chest.

 

Kyoko jumped, feeling that another thing was going on. "Stay here!" She commanded Sakura, teleporting. She appeared in another clearing and felt something swipe in front of her. "Gahh!" She caught it, her hands holding the flat of a sword. Looking up, she saw that Romeo had the hilt in his hands. "Are you trying to kill sombody?!"

 

Jumping back to avoid his sword, Vin wrapped the long chain around the blade and pulled it from Romeo's grasp. "Hmph, oldest trick in the book. You'll have to try harder than that to hit me." Vin's face remained impassive as he fought. No frustration, no anger, or even amusment with this fight. Vin felt the same way he always did while fighting...normal.

 

"Man!"(I wanted to say **** i remembered the rules though >>)

 

OOC: Just dont go overboard, terra.

 

Vin shrugged and slapped the flat of his sword against Romeo's shoulder again. With such a heavy blade, it moved Romeo a few inches. Dropping his foot on the other blade he'd pulled from Romeo's grip he tisked, "Don't even think about it. Listen, kid, you can still refuse to help Ash. Rule number one: Never help a Deathchanter!" Turning his blade slightly, he sliced at Romeo's shoulder.

Ash grabbed ahold of the thread desired. Pulling on it, it weighed a lot more than he would've figured. "C'mon! Leggo of it!" Ash's grammar changing as he struggled to pull the thread through the dark circle.

 

Kyoko looked around, then down at her own body. Whoops, she hadn't materialized yet. Stepping to the side, she watched as her body became its old self again. "Hey, Romeo, what are you doing?" She asked, looking at him with a serious expression.

 

Romeo smiled "Nothing of your interest."he grabbed his swords,then ran to ash."I'm through working for you!"

 

Ash gave a final yank on the thread and grabbed at Romeo's life thread. His slender fingers wrapping around it, sending icy chills to Romeo's heart. "You sure you want to stop now?" Glancing upward, he smirked and wrapped Romeo's thread around his fist.

A large, unshappen creature lumbered out of a larger dark circle, chains wrapping around Vin and lifting him from the ground. "Huh, what the..?! Ash! What've you done!" Vin knew exactly what he'd done. Bypassing the laws of nature and taking something that hadn't been alive for years and melding it together with Deathchanter magic.

"Three Cries for one!" The creature grabbed Vin and squeezed. Pure black eyes shone dully out of a sickly white skin of a rat-like face.

 

He looked around holding his chest,"N-No!"He slashed at both his legs then his stomach."Let Vin go!"

 

Kyoko looked in shock at Ash, then at Vin. "Vin!" She cried, tugging on the monster. "Let him go!"

 

A wall of undead flesh rose up as Romeo tried to attack him, "Disappointing. Mazipa kill Vincent!" The creature squeezed harder and he watched Vin's face contort from impassive to in severe pain.

Darkness threatened to cover his vision and he swung his sword up to his hand and flung it at the creature's eye. It howled in sheer pain and dropped Vin. Thudding onto his back, his breath was knocked out of him. The creature backed away and Vin yanked the sword out of his eye. Swinging it around by the chain, he let the momentum lob off the creature's arm and slice a line across it's neck. "Enough...Ash!" he wheezed.

 

He slashed three undead and more rose."It never ends!"

 

Looking around, Kyoko screamed. "You guys, you're teammates! Why are you fighting like this?!" She sliced her sword through an undead warrior.

 

Ash frowned at Vin's seriousness and let all the undead drop where they were. "Fine, spoil sport. You're no fun, Vin. C'mon, I was just having a little fun. I can't have fun anymore?"

Vin laughed from his spot on the ground, the creature disolving into dust and sparks of black magic. "If that's fun to you. I'd hate to see what you're like when you're serious. Ash, you could've hurt Romeo or someone else." Standing and replacing his sword on his back, Vin brushed himself off, "Don't make that face." Ash's face was frowning like a child whose favorite toy had been taken away for no reason.

 

Romeo fell.He was breathing heavily.

 

Vin laughed and finally the impassive look on his face broke into a brotherly love for Ash, "See what you did? You tuckered out Romeo already. Some training exersise." Throwing his arms behind his head, he leaned back on a tree and smirked over at his small friend.

Ash pouted like a child, "You always have to put the blame on me. As if I'd really pick this thick of a thing apart. Look at it, Vin! It's bulky. Too much life to pick at and by the time I was halfway through it, he'd already be dead from shock. No self control, this one." Ash rubbed with the thread instead of against it and sent a warm wave to Romeo's heart. "Haven't got the heart really to kill him though. He's fun to play with. Anyways, Vincent, you are going to help me find what I'm looking for aren't you?" He watched Vin nod. "I promised didn't I?" "Yeah...you did."

 

Romeo sat up."What are you guys looking for?"
