Kage Ikagaide
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I had run almost to the edge of the city when I was once again surrounded--but this time, there were at least 80 of Garm's soldiers around me. I felt more adrenaline than I'd ever had pumped through my veins begin to flow. My blood boiled with frustration, black lightning raced over my body and a black-gray aura hung about me in the air. The lightning gathered on the blades of my Claws and I let loose my fury. "DARK DRAGON!!!!!!!!!" I yelled. Suddenly, the soldiers hardly moved at all as I raced between each of them, slashing them five times each as I went. As quickly as my rush of incredible speed began, it stopped and I skidded forward thirty feet to a gate in a stance of a finished move. The lightning discharged and I began to shake slightly as my vision blurred. I shook my head and stood for a minute to recover--I heard dead silence. There was no more noise of an army moving about, people were not talking. The wind made the only sounds I could hear. I couldn't quite understand it, but I sensed something and I whirled around, my Claws up to block an attack and at the same time take off someone's head. I found my move blocked my someone dressed in a loose black coat with a black hood. Whoever it was had claws as well. I jumped back. "Assassin!" I said.

"Very good, you noticed," said a rough, but feminine voice. The hood was pulled back, revealing the face of a pretty, red-haired woman.

"No one but a well trained assassin could sneak up on me like that," I said simply, putting a violent edge in my voice. I rushed up, using what was left of my adrenaline rush, and made three quick slashes at her--all of which, she blocked. She then attacked. The woman made two slashes and a deft stab at my side--I blocked them all as well. We were too evenly matched for my liking. I now understood some of my power and used it to my full advantage. I forced the same extreme adrenaline rush as before, and the aura and black lightning returned to my body. I growled angrily and yelled at her. "BLACK COMBINATION!!!!!" (OOC: Not a new move, you'll see what it is here in a second). I bolted around her in an erratic circle, making quick slashes or stabs at her as I went around. She managed to barely block all of them. I rushed in and took one downwarb blow to her head, which she barely blocked by crossing her claws over her head. I used this opportunity to push myself up into the air and I then pulled my arm back as if I were going to use Gravitone. I punched forward and opened my hand at the end. Instead of Gravitone however, the lightning around my body collected into an orb of crackling energy and suddenly, a deluge of black needles of energy. She was taken by surprise and most of them hit her--though only her arms, legs, and shoulders. I landed and shook off the shock of the rush instantly and walked up to her as she started shaking violently herself. I waved my hand quickly and she was blasted back, but the needles dissapeared, along with their magic venom. "You put up a great fight," I said, picking her up and leaning her on a wall. "I look forward to fighting you again," I told her, and walked away, to the gate of the city.

"My name is Cassandra Lashana. I look forward to fighting you again as well, Kage Ikagaide," she said, grinning. I turned my head a bit to grin and nod, as she leapt off into the shadows.

"Amazing woman, that Assassin," I said to myself. I looked up the map in my head and ran through the gate of Termania and towards the Draconian Ruins.
