“Perfect, I won’t need to waste any of my weapons now that they’ve attacked first.” He promptly started running towards the arrows, sliding under them, and getting back up while running towards, and through the archers. They didn’t know what he was doing, but after he used Dark Sight they knew. It was to late though, thousands of barraging arrows had hit the archers, as Zard stood safely with Dark Sight on. He heard two falling carcasses, and than a ghost like whisper as they vanished in a smoke. Zard walked to the end of the room, picked up his bags of money and headed to the next door but he looked at his armor. The leather jacket he was wearing was torn to shreads, and his sunglass were long gone, in one of the gargoyles stomach. He ripped off the leather jacket, revealing his Dark China Suit, picked up his money bags, and walked on…..

He hastily walked through the next door, to see the old man that had thrown the ciggarette at his eye, but he was much….younger….

“I’m glad you could have made it, and judging by that pink glowing jewel in your pocket I’d say you brought the Luck crystal, which I need to return to my youth…” he said in a familiar raspy voice. Zard mentally made the somewhat young man younger, and he recognized it at once.

“Hello….Captain….” he said stunned, yet somewhat cautious. The man Zard was facing, was his Captain in the Bandit VS Assasin war a long time ago. (Chapter 1 or 2 i think O_o). He was the only man that could actually beat Zard in a face to face fight.

“Ahh, I’m glad you realized, now hand over that crystal!” he shouted as veins popped out of his forehead. Zard was still stunned that he was alive. He though about how he first met the old man in the room where he was tortued to near death. The face might have been in recognizible (spelling? O_o) because of age, but Zard just couldn’t believe this. Here was his end he thought.

Trying to keep his cool he said, “Your going to have to fight for it.” he said still trying to collect his shocked brain from it’s daze. “Have it your way!” said the somewhat young man as he ran over with blinding speed, hit Zard with his knuckle, and Zard flew backwards into the wall. He sputtered blood as he tried to get up, but before he could get off the ground the man came up to him, and picked him up by the neck, and through to him the other side of the wall.

“You honestly think you can beat me! I killed your old friend, who was by far stronger than you.” he said laughing hysterically.” (The friend will be mentioned in the lost chapter i will make after this, its about Lazard’s history)

Anger was penting up Zard, “SHUT THE HELL UP TOBY!” he shouted as he threw millions and millions of daggers, knives, throwing stars, anything that would pierce flesh. He didn’t bother to use money, because he needed it for later use…if he was still alive.

“You despicable bug, DON’T EVER USE MY FIRST NAME!!.” he said as he pulled out a single dagger, deflecting every weapon that came near him. He picked up one of Zard’s daggers as he threw it as it pinned Zard’s left wrist to the wall, making it useless, and making it very painful for him.

“Hand over the crystal you useless despicable worm! I need to absorb its energy to return back to my youth; when I was your captain…” he shouted as he spit on Zard’s hair. That last sentence was being processed through Zards mind processed the words, “…absorb…energy….”. That was it, it was a gamble but he had to do it. He pried out the pink Luck Crystal from his pocket, and as he held it in his hand he closed his eyes, and tried focusing on the crystal..

“There’s the beauty…..” Toby said as he walked over slowly to pick up the crystal. When he had picked out the crystal from Zard’s hand, there was something different…it was grey and it didn’t glow anymore….

He quickly turned around to see a dark fire-like aura over Zard. His body features were changing. Two black dark horns were sprouting from his shoulder blades, and his bisceps were becoming bigger and stronger. Slowly, Zard’s dark hazul eyes turned blood red, with a black pupil in each eye. His armor now engulfed in the dark fire, slowly started to change into something that looked similar to a warrior’s equipment. There were gold zigzags all over his chest plate and in the middle was a big “Z” with a slash across it. His lower armor area was turning into black metal, with golden zigzags everywhere. His now makeshift bandaged hand and his right hand were dark gauntlets with red etchings everywhere, with two massive dagger blades jutting out of gauntlet. His head was covered up with a new iron bandana, which looked similar to an Identity but this one was black and red with a skull and crossbones in the center with spikes on the plate. The pilfer around his neck, had changed into a dark cover that covered most of his face, while the bandana covered his left eye. The only part of his face, which was visible was his right eye which was bloodshot red with a dark pupil in it. He was no longer Zard anymore, he was someone else…..

“What the helll….!” Toby shouted as he tried throwing a dagger, but it bounced harmlessly off his armor. “What happened!” he stood their scared out of his wits.

Zard pried the dagger out of his wrist which left no cut, and got up slowly adjusting to his new body.

“Hehehe, I like it…” he said…”Still feeling almighty Toby?” he asked in a dark tone. He was answered by the sight of a trembling man.

It was like his body moved on its own, he summoned 6 other faceless bandits, which took the face of him, and they all used an attack which he called “Assaulter” which was basically moving at blinding speed, and slicing through anything in your way. He called off the 6 bandits, and left Toby to rot, just like he had done to Zard when they though he was a traitor. He picked up his bags of money and dropped one bag in two corners. With that he walked out of the building and sent the money exploding, destroying the entire hidden base, and with that he was never seen again…..
