“Roger slashed you pretty badly with his stars.” explained Mark. “After that you were knocked out cold. Me and Helen tried to help you but Roger had his men with them. Then Dan came with Blitz but he got beat, too.” I took a moment to look at everyone and they were all covered in scars. I was, too.

“So what did the b*stard want?” Dan asked. I told them what happened. They were just as confused as I was.

“So now what?” Dan asked/

“I don’t know. Well first we should get our wounds healed.” I suggested. “Helen even though you don’t have a weapon can’t you heal?”

“Nope sorry. They sealed up all our skills.” She said disappointingly.

“D*mn it!” I swore. Everyone remained silent. I slowly examined the lock. It was pretty simple. A needle could probably get through this. I gave a little laugh. I kept looking at it for a while longer.

I’m such a r*tard(can we say r*tard?). Why use a needle when you got a dagger.

“Dan. You got any daggers on you?” I asked hopefully.

“Umm let me check.” For the next 5minutes Dan searched every secret pocket he had. Eventually he found a Field Dagger. I stretched out my hand and he slid it over.

“Well here goes.” I slowly raised the dagger. I brought it down on the lock. It shattered.

“Come on let’s go.” I shouted as I opened the cell door. We ran through the halls being careful not to attract attention. We ended up at a huge door. At the entrance were a couple assassins.

“I’ll handle this.” Dan said pulling out his Field Dagger. He lunged at the assassins and slashed open their arms so they couldn’t throw stars. He then knocked them out with a couple punches.

Inside the room was a huge weapon vault. Inside were hundreds of different kinds of weapons from all four jobs.

“Wow. A Metus.” I exclaimed. There in a small cage was a Metus. He probably stole it from Athena Pierce.

“Would it be wrong to take some of these weapons?” Dan asked eyeing a Shinkita. Well they did take it form other people. I was about to say no when Helen interrupted.

“Of course yes!” she shouted. “How can you even think of stealing?”

“Helen come on.” I pleaded. “They stole this stuff form other people. So its fair.”

In the end Helen agreed. Dan grabbed the Shinkita and his Korean Fan and a Kandine. I grabbed my Asianac Bow and the Metus, Helen just kept her Cromi. Mark placed his Red Katana at his side and got strapped a Heaven’s Gate across his back with his shield. I slung my Metus across my back. I decided to return it to Athena Pierce.

I slowly looked around the corner. After judging it was clear we moved out. As I rounded a corner there was a group of assassins there. I ran toward them and hit them with my bow since I couldn’t use any skills and didn’t have any arrows. Dan and Mark slashed wildly at the assassins. After each one was immobile.

We kept running around until I saw a light.

“Come on. I see light.” I called to everyone. As we went through the door way I knew I had made a big mistake. We were at the front of the bridge. And across the bridge was Roger. He summoned up an Avenger before I could move. It hit the doorway behind us sealing us in.

“You won’t get away this time.” He snapped his fingers and couple assassins that had been using DarkSight appeared and showered us with stars. We all fell to the ground as they took the weapons and made a little pile.

They dragged us to Roger.

“Now tell me how to activate the Crystal Soul or your friends will die.” He said dangling it in front of my eyes.

“I don’t know.” I spat out a glob of blood.

“Then watch your friends die.” Roger snapped his fingers and one of the assassins kicked Dan hard. Dan fell to the ground stricken with pain. The Assassin continually kicked him. Dan kept moaning as he started to get dangerously close to the edge of the island. The assassin then picked him up by his neck and hung him overt the edge.

“Let go of him you b*stard!” I shouted getting up. But the other assassins held me back.

“So you want me to drop him then?” the assassin asked menacingly.

“I’ll kill you.” I whispered.

“What did you say? You’ll kill me? You mean like how you said you’ll kill my father?” he asked. What the h*ll? Roger has a son?! I looked closely at him and realized he was only about 12 years old.

“Didn’t you know about my son? Or is it that I look too young. I’m 32 you know.” Roger said looking at my stupid expression. 32years old????? He looked like he was20!
“Now, for the last time. Tell me how to activate the Crystal Soul.” He said sounding a little annoyed. “Or I’ll kill this monster.” He held up a cage. Inside was…Blitz!

“Let him go!” I screamed struggling.

“Hey. I’ll even let you choose who to kill from one of your friends. Well except your little girl friend. I needed a slave girl anyway.” He said.

“Now you got me pissed.” I whispered. My whole body started to heat up. A blue aura surrounded me. The assassin restraining me backed off in fright. They started to throw stars at me but I used Thrust to dodge them.

I sped toward the pile of weapons and got the Metus. I found my bag lying next to the pile and dug through it until I found a barrel of arrows.

I notched an arrow and fired at Roger’s son. He dropped Dan as he jumped out of the way.

“DAN!!!” I shouted as I ran toward the edge. I jumped off and grabbed Dan as we fell toward the lava. I pulled Dan over my shoulders and fired an arrow full of energy. The arrow mutated and turned into a Silver Hawk. I grabbed one of his feet and he pulled both me and Dan up.

I fired arrows at Mark’s and Helen’s captors and killed them. Helen and Makr got their weapons. Helen started to heal Dan while Mark pulled out his Red Katana.

“Kill them!” Roger shouted as his hundreds of assassins flooded the island. I notched a couple arrows and burned my energy into them. I fired them into the air where they split apart creating thousands of arrows which rained down on the assassins.

Some of them managed to use Dark Sight so they were saved, others weren’t as lucky. Mark ran through the ranks slashing wildly. I stood in the back and gave him cover fire. As he jumped in the air I notched an arrow and concentrated an enormous amount of power into it. It burst into flames and grew bigger and bigger. I released it as it flew across incinerating any assassins that were in the way.

Roger seemed to get the fact that his men were losing and started to help out by chucking Avenger after Avenger at us. Me and Mark easily dodged them. After we had killed all his men we stood panting. We were both exhausted. WE had used a lot of energy in our attacks.

“Now that you two are completely tired I’ll kill you both.” He clutched an ilbi and made it into a huge star. He hasted and ran toward us still holding the ilbi. I tried to move but fell to the ground. Crap. I over did it a little. But it seemed as if Mark didn’t as he was running at full speed toward Roger. Roger used his other hand and used Shadow Web but Mark dodged it. But his sword got hit so it fell to the ground. He threw away his shield and pulled out his Heaven’s Gate. Its metal blade gleamed bloody red as the light from the lava reflected off it.

Roger threw the star but Mark just slashed through it. Roger jumped in the air as Mark slashed the empty air where Roger had been moments before. In the air Roger threw couple stars at Mark who got hit in the back. The blood splashed on the floor as Roger went behind him and kicked him hard against where he was bleeding.

Mark screamed in agony as he fell to the ground. Roger summoned an Avenger and threw it at Mark. Mark just barely raised his blade blocking the attack. Roger kept throwing stars as Mark got back to his feet. Mark blocked every attack with his blade. But I could tell he was tired. His movements started to get sluggish.

Roger threw another Avenger at Mark. Mark swung his arm back and brought it around in an arc slashing away the Avenger. Just then out of nowhere a second Avenger flew at him. It hit him on the chest. He fell backwards on the floor as blood gushed out his wound.

“Die!” Roger shouted as he stepped on Mark’s throat. Mark tried to grab his foot but Roger threw couple stars at his arms pinning them down. I tried to get up but a star came out of nowhere and knocked me back down. It came from Roger’s son. He laughed and just watched as Mark gasped for air.

I couldn’t do anything as Mark slowly died. I felt as I was the one who had been suffocated.

I slowly got to my feet.

“You b*tch. I’ll kill you!” I screamed as I ran toward Roger.
