*The impact of the crash has broken my right arm and i cant use my claymore as it is a 2 handed weapon.. Draws a hunting knife as long as my arm and run up SHantanaros back, stabbing chinks in his armor. i crawl under his neck, stabbing him in the throat while rolling away. Ichor, the blood of the dragons run freely from the wound. nearly blacks out in pain as the bandage has unwrapped from my shoulder, and i'm using almost all of my strength to keep Shantanaro out of my mind. Sees the sontarans coming to heal us and blacks out

OOC: thats unfair how it just ended without everyone participating in the battle D: so time for my promised twist IC: As Shanty falls I stand and watch all still and then with a hiss of pain my right paw where the black spot was is engulfed in black flames that consume my entire body within a few seconds. It burns with great fevor and the grass burns a bronw color around me in a giant ring about 5 feet across. No life can get within the 5 foot radius. In a voice of shanty and mine combined I speak, my eyes a ruby red* You think you could defeat me that easily?! I am too powerful to be defeated by a mere dragonling. *laughs heartily*

*I awaken, dizzy, but with no control over my body, however, i can talk. watches sontarans revive klepter through red tinged sight* klepter, run. i cant control him. I might have enough strenght to fight him off in a few minutes* i turn into full shadow form and lunge. For a second though, he falters and i take control. Shantanaro is dazed from the loss of power which is just enough time for me to take the liquid magic that i stole from silveera and seal off the magic until i can get help from sontarans. i run to help keeper. however, my right arm hangs limp at my side as its broken. gets some branches and builds a splint for my arm. Draws long bow, (not an easy thing to do with a bad arm.) and begins firing arrows. Shantanaro attacks and hits my in the chest. I feel my chain mail shirt give way and though am not killed, the impact breaks a few ribs. I cant feel anything and is in a coma

*laughs even more* Run shadow dragon there is nothing you can do *I slam down my paw and create a giant tremor through the forest the trees dangerously shaking. Dark clouds being to encirlce the sun and creating a red hue on all.*

The treamor knocks me off a cliff.and i land in a lake. the water revives me and i swim to a cave. A sontaran s is down thee and puts a quick healing spell that renders him unconcious but i am fine and ready to fight. i change to a dragon and appears on the ground above. attacks from air , breathing blue fire.* catc, fight him* my sight is tinged red, but i continue on. I land, changing to a human and begin healing silveera, putting her wing in a splint and bandageing other wounds.* hey Shantanaro, if youre so great, then why do you possess others. why dont you get your friends from the forbidden lands and give yourselve some honor as a commander? but wait you have no honor. you just use others to do your dirty work and take their lives. i pity you, for having no real friends.

There is no more catc, she's gone....One as powerful as me needs no friends. There is fear and cowardice in armies, unloyalty throughout. Control the being, control their emotions and get things done right the first time. You escaping from Galifrae was thanks to my armies mistakes. It won't happen again!

fires aa object that appears to be a laser.* that was no laser. it did not harm you but it opened your mind. look at what youve become. are you destined to become a monster worse than this. when you wernt a shadow, you already had this much power. even more. you were the first leader of dragons. i can send you to a planet where you can live in peace. please consider this. i dont like to kill if i dont have to OOC gotta go. btw you have too much time on your hands

OOC: How so lol? I just got home not too long ago tis chillaxing time IC: I do not want to go to some planet when I can have this one after I destroy Sapphira and all those that oppose me.

@catc: I did some upgrades to the gallery at the beginning of January but I don't recall touching the captcha so maybe I tweaked it a bit while I was messing with the gallery code. I will double check to make sure that the code is readable, since I filter out spambots by giving them an additional letter to write.

*wakes up* what the...has all hell broke lose? *looks around. sees catc yelling. looks down at my wound and notices that im mot dead.* how the hell did i survive? *phantomises and flys over behind catc.*im not a weak little dragon, i survived this long didnt i? now its time for you to see my power!!!!!! *flys right inside catc and fights for control over her mind.* let go of her you perp, you'll never live on this planet, if you even live to see the end of this. catc get him out of you, hes going to kill your friends if you dont.*fights for control over catc's mind to liberate her* i havent even began yo bite yet.

*hears keeper and fights a bit struggling against the chains of insanity and control. then with a burst of fury keeper is flung from me getting burned from the black flames, but they flicker a bi into purple and then an even darker black.*

oh so now you want to dance. i didnt know you can burn ghosts.*dissapears and flys around catc's/shanty's head. penatrates again and continues to fight for control.* how do you like me now!?! *starts to lossen the atomic bonds of shanty's mental attatchment* lossen up shanty, dont you like visitors?

Indeed we dance weakling bu it is not I that bows in this dance. It will be you! *fights back again and this time with more ferocity and keeper is flung almost 20 feet and the flames grow stronger and are a deep black, but there is a tint of green in the eyes and a flash of catc is seen, but is lost in teh consuming flames*

oh no you dont.*consume the flames and use them for energy* im takeing my friends back, and im going to avenge every one that you killed. and i dont make threats, i make promises.*enter catc again and goes back to work to lossen the atomic bonds. accidentaly i hit a nerve that sends a message to catc dirrectly.* hows the power shanty? *finds the main link between shanty and catc* 'cause you did pay your bill.

*a roar of pain that is high pitched and could shatter glass erupts and shards of ice taken from catc powers fly and peirce all the surrounding area rupting from my (shanty's) body leaving rips and tears in the skin oozing a mixture of blood and black ooze. The Flames still burn but with a lesser radius and keeper is struck with a rather large shard*

oh wow shanty real kind of you, i've always wanted a ice spear.*desolves it to water* not, i just needed more energy.*enters catc for the third time and goes strait back to the main link.* now this might sting a little. heheh. *wraps my self around the main link and begins to pull.*

*hisses in anger and pain and begins to burn with great fevor once more and it gets to unbearably hot that it is like a hot piece of metal from a fire. The link is hard lke a metal and very hard to sever. Catc hears the stuggle and fearing for her friends' safety, she fights and pushes keeper from shanty and a surge of a bright purple light radiates from the black flames and then in a massive strike of blinding light that burns the surrounding area, I fall still and seemingly normal but I am not breathing and blood oozes from cuts and tears all along my body*

*solidifys, and holds up my hand, palm faceing out.* rise catc. *cats body floats and appears to stand up right* ok who wants to see if shes normal? dont worry now shes suspended in the air and cant move. *starts to walk to catc, with a slight limp* hey guys i guess we won. (not totally convinced)

*is not breathing and my eyes are cold and stare like death*

@ catc: haha, what now the steelers lost. God Bless the Packers. *I see Shantanaro lying beside the unconsious catc. i get my medical kit and begin to heal catc but nothing i do helps. desides the best thing to do is keep her warm, so i wrap her wound in bandages, then i take off my cloak and wrap it around her.* there, now shes in the hands of tempest or whoevers in charge here.* begins to heal my broken arm and i retrieve my hunting knife.* however we are still stuck with whatever is left of him* i say as i point with my hunting knife. I realize that my amulet is broken, probrably when i got knocked into a tree, which is also when i broke my arm* so what do we do.* if he isnt dead, i can get into his head and make sure he cant create any portals, so then we can send him to an uninhabited planet

let me take care of Shanty, i have a little bone to pick with him. *walk up to shanty, and unsheath "The Might Kleptor"* this should end him *regrip the hilt twice and the blade becomes black with flames (its black fire, gives off no light)* this is the end for you. *holds the blade above his body, point down (like you're about to thrust it into the ground). i thrust it strait in to his body, but it doesnt penetrait.* i think we need everybody's help to finnish him. Shadow did you revive catc? because i dont shes dead, if you want i can go in side her and try to find the problem. *phantomises and waits for his responce, forgeting about Shanty for now *

*glimmers and shrinks to the phantom cat form a glowing white and still is not breathing or moving and out from the tree line the tuxedo cat walks in slowly looking over at Shanty and then to everyone else and keeping to the shadows away from the sight of others*

if anyone has a bone to pick with shantanaro, its me. he destroyed my home and my family but ill be content with all of us killing him at once* revives catc*

i'll take that as a yes, *enters catc and looks around for anything that could be out of place*

*begins to look around for silveera so i can give back the liquid magic without her knowing. wonders where ill go now that shantanaros more or less dead. i guess i'll stick around here for a while, then go to earth, or Midnight, a literal planet made of diamonds and other gems* hey guys have you seen silveera?

*shadows reviving does no good. The tuxedo cat comes from the shadows and jumps onto my shoulders even though they are a lot maller in cat form and a green light is emitted the two cats become immobile. Then I fall to the ground once more*

finds a trail of blood and i follow it, and find silveera. takes her to the clearing where Shantanaro is

*looks out through catc's eyes and sees all that has gathered* i better get catc fixed up, fast.

OOC: I'll be back later gotta go do some things IC: *the tuxedo cat pushes keeper away so that he is not hurt and in a flash of green adn purple light I take a deep breath and blink slowly and the tuxedo disapears*

aye, er, yes, whatever. anyways, where is hyo. i havent seen him for a while . okay, to kill that monster, there must be some adjoining of magic, somehting that we all have that were missing,oh im so stupid. the amulets. they dont just block dark magic, they combine the magic, its like an amplifier of shadow magic OOC gotta go, its chuck night and my time is up. see ya tommoorow

*walks over to Shadow* ok, but all of our amulets are broken so how are we supossed to do that? *look over at catc* hey! shes awake! *walks over and starts to help her up* here this will help to regain your energy. *puts the jar that silveera gave me earlier in front of catc*

*blinks and for a moment doesn't recognize anyone or where I am, but slowly I remember and sit down on the ground with an audible thump* wow that was the weirdest dream I have ever had! *looks at my right paw and the black spot is gone and in its place is a scar shaped like a flame* Oh thanks keeper *sips a small amount and feels slightly better*

Your welcome, but it wasn't a dream. This is reality. *sits down next to catc* you do know that all of your friends did some thing to them self so you can live? *looks catc in the eye and points to my bloodied chest then leans to whisper something in her ear* every one here loved you so much that they would risk their lives to save you. You just have to believe it. now back to other business. *stands up*. Shadow, what's say we collect up all the broken amulet pieces and try to fix them back up. They all seemed to be made out of the same material, so maybe we should just put them back in any order that works. ( @catc: what form are you in right now?) * crouches down again and begins to pick up broken amulet pieces*

*having reverted back to my anthro form, after Shathra finished her little temper tantrum. I push my self up, hissing as my wounds pull, and sit back on my knees. Looking around, I notice Shanty's body lying a few metres away* Wow.... when did that happen? *has no memory of the fight seeing as Shathra was controling me. With a chill gust of wind I realise my cloak is missing, and I'm not where I remember collapsing. Notives every one standing around, except keeper who's looking through the snow, everyone looks rather worse for wear*

Ah ha, here's shanty's ring. I saw him drop it when his dragon body collapse. *holds a thin, dark ring that has a green stone attached to it.* this should be destroyed as well as him self. *looks around the gathering, and notice silveera is finally awake. walls over to her, and begins to help her up. *(always favoring my right leg)* hey, how's the shoulder and any other wound you might have? *hands back the energy drink* here's that drink thing back, I think you or I dropped it.

he's been sitting there for about an hour

*looks over at Shadow* Ah the silver dragon speaks at last. What should we do with the amulets?

OOC: I am currently back to by dragoncat form the dark colored one IC: It definately didn't seem real it was very surreal. I thank you all Although i don;t remember most of it.

OOC: over four hundred comments!!!!!!!! IC: well do you want to be filled in, or do you not mind? and what all did you forget?

*Fiddle's with the flask of Nathrak dirge, not really knowing what to do with out my cloak... after a minute I throw it up in the air and it dissapears with a small birst of black fire* well.... all I remember, was running behind Catc, and my bandages caught on a branch and broke my seal. Then Shanty was trying to get into my mind, and Shathra went all agro. Then all I know is I woke up here, with a broken wing... and hand and a sh*t load of wounds.... though at least they aren't bleeding any where near as badly as my shoulder was, though I don't think they'll heal until we're completely rid of Shanty

*digs inside my pocket and pulls out a little bag with a green mixture of herbs* here, spread this on any cuts that are festering you too bad, and in any deep cuts that are bleeding. *pulls out a dark brown cloak from thin air, tosses to Silveera* i know this isnt your old one, but i hope it'll be sufficient until we find your old one. *pats my chest furiously, right where my wound is (which is still bleeding)* hey, has anyone seen a dark red gem? it should be a dark crimson color, like my blood. it seems i have dropped it, or it feel inside my chest. i need that to keep my connection intact.

*peers about and sees if i can sense anything* I don;t sense or see any rubies.... Perhaps you dropped it before you got here. *looks over at Shanty and shivers feeling anger and hatred* We should be rid of him, if not he shall never get back into my forest OOC: awesome almost like the dragnix of old Often we had more than one Rp going at the same time. We kept tempest on his toes or claws n.n @tempest: the codes look better at least for me now

thats the problem, its not a rubie its a rare gem that helps collect and store my extra energy. if i dont have it i loss energy, and any thing longer that ten minutes i black out. we need to find it. right now i can feel my connection fadeing. *beings to fade*

*wearily stands up and begins to search for the gempeering by rocks and under loose leaves.* Perhaps closing your eyes and sensing the connection will help you find it. It works for me when I lose something of power.

ok. *closses my eyes and moves my head back and forth* i think i feel it....its over....*blacks out. falls to the ground in a crumped heap* by Shant'ys body, by Shanty's body, look by Shanty's body

*peers about and sees no ruby* shoot I bet you I know where it is *heaves shanty over and peers underneath his body and sees the faint shimmer of a ruby just out of my reach. With a groan and a good sized heave i tip shanty's body onto its other side and see the little ruby/ gem. i pick it up and put it next to keeper*

*inhales deeply, and flex my body strait* ghaaaa! i never thought air would be so so good! *grabs my gem and shoves it in my chest so fast so i wont die* ahh, oh, oww, that hurts! forgot i was still bleeding.

*morphs back to human form and puts some of the herb stuff on my wounds. Wraps the cloak tightly around me and watches startled as Kletper collapses, then regains conciousness after Catc finds his ruby* Are you ok? *Gives Klepter a hand to get up, then hands back his herb stuff* Thank you, for that and the cloak. It's freezing out here *pulls the cloak tighter and shivers*

Yes, I'm fine now that I have this back *points at my gem* how's the wounds *take the herbs back and puts some on my chest to stop the bleeding* how cold did you say it was? (I don't have a shirt on, since it got ripped off earlier.) I can't tell.

*shrugs, and points to the sky* Well... it's snowing. So pretty damn cold *Looks over at Shantanaro* We'd better get rid of this guy fast... I can still sense his life force, and it's somehow starting to heal itself. He must be leaching the energy off of something

Oh it is snowing! I didn't notice *catches a flake on my tongue* I wonder what he could be healing from.... that is strange perhaps he is like the tuxedo cat and takes his powers from the stars *sees a flash of green eyes in the brush of the cat prancing away*

well what ever hes useing as a power sourse, we better destroy it along with him, or use it aganst him in some way. *looks around at the snow and sences the end of the day comming.* well unless we all want to stay here to night, i think we should go back up to my house. *nezerr comes down and lands on my sholder with sapphira right behind him.* nezerr and sapphira want to get going as well, they dont like the feeling of shanty being so close and not dead.

but what if he revives fully by morning? Perhaps setting up camp here would be best to keep an eye on him

how bout we drag him to my house with us and lock him in this little container i got in the mountain?

gos out into the woods, to look for other amulets, just in case, and realizes, that i dont have all of my strength, plus theres is something poking into my forearm. i pull the thornlike object out to reveal the tip of shantanaros claw, covered in acid green poison. i call out for sitka, my companion i guess you could cal her, and fall over unconsious

*hear Shadow call out in pain* dang, not again, why does he just walk off like that. you two stay here and regain your strength, i'll go and see what happened. *heads off in the derection of the yelp* nezzer fly ahead and see what happened.

i appear in front of Shadow. i am a green minor dragon, specializing in healing. i begin to heal shadow.* damn you for being a loner, always moving on, never looking back because you are trying to run away from your past. you need to stay with the group. * bandages his forearm.* you need to larn to stick with the group. in all the years ive been with you, never once have you ever stuck around. always moving, never staying in one place. why dont you realize that your friends love you and stay awhile?

:/ Why are we the ones who always have to stay and rest? *Paces in boardom, watching Shanatanaro froom the corner of my eye*

*awakens, although i cant feel anything below my waist.* d'varit, i wish i could get back to a clearing* feels something hard behind me and i reach behind me. and i feel a surge of energy. i had found the other amulets

*stumbles upon shadow* dude! waht the hell happened over here? it looks like you got stuck under a tree and found you amulets. *crawls under the fallen tree and changer to full dragon form. throws the tree a few yards then changes back* there, that should help. *grabs Shadow's arm to help him up, nods at sitka*

I know its boring *rolls eyes and grabs a stick and starts drawing symbols and pictures in the snow* We should go do something instead of sitting here doing nothing yet again

dude, i cant feel anything below my waist. and how did that tree get there? i fell unconsious because i got stabbed by Shantanaros poisoned claw. its amazing i survived that long. * whistles and sitka, who is about the size of a half- grown cat, flys to my shoulder*

the tree fell...wait, how did the tree fall? oh well nothing to worry about right now, can you get on my back so i can carry you back to the clearing? *yells up to catc and silveera* HEY, CAN YOU TWO COME DOWN AND HELP WITH SHADOW. HES WOUNDED PRETTY BAD!

is very exausted, but i drag myself over to the amuletss and stuff them in my quiver as my pack is at klepters* i wish this was all over. then i can get back to timetraveling, maybe figure out how to make a tempus machina

your going to have to stay untill you get fixed up.

great. i have to fend off animals with my throwing knife and my saxe knife ( a saxe knife is basically a double-edged hunting knife with a guard. with the throwing knife, i can defend myself from any attacker) *sighs in exaustion. is tired from the passed events.* oh well, at least sitka can help me

no, not here, my cabin, i can carry you in my claws as Greer, if you dont mind a little pain.

*walks over from the bushes unnoticed* Yes I think going to the cabin would be a good idea somethings not right in the woods. The trees whisper of something but i don't know what. I feel it wise to be out of them

thats a very good idea, i wish to be out of here as well.*changes form* hold on Shadow this might hurt a little.*hovers above shadow and picks him up as gently as i can* catc, you need a ride? jump on.

*walks out of the bushes near Catc* You guys go ahead, I'm gonna look for my cloak *Gives Flute a quick command, then dissapears into the forest*

i sense somethings watching us. *suddenly sees a statue that looks like its crying *oh no the weeping angels are here( weeping angels are an alien from the medusa cascade. when your eyes fall upon them,they turn to stone. when you blink, or look away, they arent stone and their touch is deadly they are fast, faster than you can imagine) we have to get out of here

not those again, why does it have to be those...*smashes my tail agenst its chest*

its indestuctable

i know, im just not in the mood...at all...i just want to get back to my house and not have to worry for a little bit about having to save the world again.

lets just get out of here. oh wait i cant move. by the way, although you should look at them, dont look them in the eye or you become them,and any picture they can use to become alive. mabey klepter can hold me in his claws

ok every one on...just keep looking at it while i fly us back to my house. Shadow, hold onto my claw.

*grabs on while sitka grasp my shoulder* lets go. sitka can look at them while we fly

and so can silveera and catc. *flys off twoard my house*

lets hope i dont slip or else im dead. * i faint from the poison, however i have a deathgrip on klepters claw

*lands in the top of the mountain, drops Shanty in this blue gel like substance that keeps him knocked out, and flys into this huge underground cavarn that is conected to the back end of my house* thies tunnels go all though out the mountain, please dont wander off at your leisure or you'll get lost.

I wake up*,um, I cant really go anywhere as my legs are currently paralyzed* watches klepter go away. however, something graps me and i lose conciousness

my eyes open and i start to chant something about magic. but my eyes are red and there is a rasping sound in my voice as if someone was sharpening a knife. Shatnaaro yells at klepter* those imprisoned will be freed and the dead will rise. the Galifraen Shadows shall be again under my command and Tempest himself will fall! * i collapes then wake up back to normal* what happened?and why are you looking at me like that

*Having found my cloak, I rejoin the group. As Shantanaro takes brief possetion of Shadow, pain tears through my wounds inflicted by Shanty* *Shaking in pain I laugh half heartedly* I have a feeling Shantanaro is pissed off

.... ha that was...ahh...i cant describe it but...lets just get inside...now...or faster... and lets settle in.*quickly changes form and walks to the back door. it opens by its self and i walk in.* what are you all waiting for? what rooms do you want? and what do you want to eat? *dissapears through the door*

no really, i have no memory at all. who are you and how the hell did i get here?

we flew here, to my house.

um no, i dont remember anything. like my memories were stolen. now then who are you , and who am I? * realizes that I'm still sitting on the floorand i try to get up. when i try to move my legs, but realize i cant, it just adds to my confusion*

ok then, Shadow, who is that? *points at sitka* 'cause i bet she knows who you are and could tell you a bit about your self as well. * walks away and lets him get aquanted.*

i here a whispering voice in my head telling me things* how could you forget? the burning, and the loss of the other rangers, 5 friends fighting for a better world. you cant have forgotten. however, close your eyes, you may have a feeling of vertigo, but you'll be fine. [/]* i feel like the world is turning upside-down, as the memory pain hurts but after a few seconds im fine.* hey klepter, you got a wheelchair or something like that? i cant drag myself to every place i go to * suddenly has an idea. i turn into a peregrin falcon and fly over to klepters kitchen find a chair, sit in it, and change back to human form

OOC: sorry I kind of disapearred .>

Very clever shadow, but a little crude form of transportation don't you think? *notices catc and silveera haven't said anything for a while*

um yeah, but until we find some cure for this poison, im stuck like this, or would you rather that i drag myself with my lips for the rest of my life?* reaches over and grabs arwen, finds a piece of crystal in my pocket, and begins to sharpen the sword.* i think that it would be easier to kill shantanaro if we threw him into the void of Nothing, or if the almighty Tempest himself wielded the blade that kills that monster.

Does complaining help? I was just saying that it was crude yet effective. *strolls away aimlessly* what are we supposed to do now?

OOC: I lol'ed at the comment of dragging myself with my lips XDDDD IC: *walks through the door quietly and gently shuts it as some blacken smoke hits the door with a slight hiss.*

*wonders at the smoke.* well, we could work on placeing the amulets into shapes to magnify the Darkfire.* places Arwen in the scabbard and puts the crystal whetstone in my pocket.* i hate sitting around (plus ADHD doesnt help). Oh well i guess that actually resting for more than 1 hour might help.

Wait! Where did silveera go? She came in here, right? *walks to the kitchen to get everyone refreshments* hey, what do you all want to drink? I got fresh milk, some fresh OJ, and wine; or you can try my new herb tea that should help with the healing of wounds. So what do you say? And if you find silveera, ask her what she wants...wait, could she of still been outside when that smoke screen came?

*Having not really paid attention to what was going on, I look up. Only to see I am seperated from Keeper's house by the thick black smoke. It twists and coils in the air, and there is a shadowed suggestion of a creature with in the dark tendrils of smoke.The colour drains from my face* How did you find me??*A hissing laugh sounds from with in the smoke, and it seems to lunge at me. I roll sideways opening a portal as I do so, but some of the smoke touches my arm before I can close it behind me* damn*A tear appears inside Keepers house and I tumble through it, slaming against the leg of the table and nocking over a chair* * I groan in pain, clutching my right fore arm. Where the smoke touched, the viens have turned black, as though the smoke has entered my blood stream. I sigh and mutter to myself*Damn thing had to show up now didn't it... * I pull myself up from the floor, righting the fallen chair and plonking myself into it* Right when I'm to weak to fight or flee

*started by silveera's entrance, I whip out the mighty kleptor and point the tip at silveera* how, where, what happened to you? *sheaths my sword* what happened to your arm? it looks like you burnt the blood veins inside, but not your whole arm

*I hiss and glare at teh door where the last tnedrils of smoke disapate into nothingness* Silveera are you alright?

Can that kind of wound be treated? It looks untreatable.
