Waiting on top was none other than Noru, who had his back turned, looking out into the distance. He chuckled, and turned around to face the party.
"Ahh, so you've indeed made it through my Castle. With all of you alive and well, might I add. I feel I must congratulate you!" Noru smirked, clapping.
"Save your congrats for when we kill you," Sly glared at the Evil Lord. He only laughs.
"Why would I save them for something that will never happen?" The purple haired man grinned.
Sly's glare strengthened as she pulled back Demonic for a throw. Sessu held his arm infront of her, making her stop.
"I already know you're here to try and stop me. But why not kill the elf girl as well? After all, she caused me to be like this." Noru spoke. Reiko crossed her arms.
"Heartbreak isn't a good reason to become evil, Noru! Reiko isn't to blame for it!" Sessu yelled.
"Any other person would've let it go and continued on with their life," The Dark Wolf spoke.
"But YOU clung to it," Soul glared.
Reiko smiled as she looked to the three who were defending her. Noru huffed, bringing everyone to look at him.
"I've had enough with talking," Noru unhooked his cloak, letting it drop to the ground. He wore a light chest plate, which covered all of his torso. He wore baggy slacks on his legs, which were tucked into his boots. Everything he wore was colored purple, the same color as his hair and eyes.
"Fight." the Evil Lord spoke the single word, drawing his sword. Much like his clothes, his sword was colored purple-- Though a much deeper color of purple.
Noru charged towards the group. As he did, Sly threw Demonic. He knocked the boomerang blade aside, and continued his charge. Sirra ran forward as he hit Sly's weapon, and swung the large Fire Sword. Due to it's size, the weapon easily allowed her to force Noru's sword down, allowing everyone else to attack.
Demonic flew back towards its owner, who caught it with great timing. Ammo aimed Steel Shot at Noru, shooting three arrows at once. Noru managed to dodge two of them, but one knicked him on the shoulder. Ammo grinned, aiming the metal-like bow at the evil lord again.
Noru pulled his sword from under Sirra's Fire Sword, jumping backwards and ruining Ammo's shot. Shin and Sentinus ran up, swinging their blades at the same time. Noru managed to evade both strikes, causing the swords to cling together. He swung his blade at Sentinus as he evaded, lightly cutting him across the shoulder.
Aidan ran towards the man, who was currently unexpecting. He plunged his sword forward, and as he suspected, Noru managed to dodge it. Just as the elf planned.
The male elf pushed his shield up, smacking Noru right in the face with it. The man grunted in pain. Aidan lifted his shield, and smacked it over Noru's head. He then ran away, for fear of Noru hitting him back.
Dark Wolf rushed past Aidan, sword drawn. He crashed it down at the target, only to find Noru rolling out of the way.
Soul charged up a spell, aiming for Noru as he was clashed blades with the Dark Wolf. As soon as he fired the dark blast, the evil lord noticed Soul's actions from the sound of the spell, and managed to move out of the way of the blast.
The Wolf, however, was not so lucky since he did not notice his teammate in time. He attempted to use his wings to propel himself above the spell, but still got hit in the leg. This caused his wings to twitch, which in turn sent him crashing to the ground.
Courtney ran over to the injured man, with Aidan guarding her with Courage. She healed the wound a a small amount, so she could save her power if she truly needed it. This was enough, however, to rid the winged man of the pain and to stop the bleeding.
"There. You should be able to fight without too much trouble," the female elf grunted, helping Dark Wolf to his feet.
"Much obliged." Dark Wolf nodded, thanking the elf girl.
In the time that the elf healed the injured teammate, Soul had continued casting his dark magic spells. He didn't manage to hit Noru, but managed to distract him enough where Sentinus, Shin, Sly, Ammo and Sirra could get hits on him, even if some of their strikes missed.
Noru managed to get one hit in on Sly when she missed, cutting her across her left thigh. It didn't hurt Sly enough for her to need treatment, but was still enough to make her hiss in pain.
Reiko and Sessu were simply waiting. Not for their friends to deal with their enemy, but for a chance to attack. A chance to unleash their powers. At first, it didn't look like the two would be able to fight the hideous-hearted man that they hated if they waited; The entire team, aside from Aidan and Courtney (who were standing by, Courtney to heal, and Aidan to protect Courtney and whoever was wounded) was getting in multiple hits at a time, while Noru only got a few hits on anyone throughout the entire battle so far.
But one single question ached at Reiko and Sessu's minds: Why did Noru seem so weak, compared to when he tore everyones lives apart?
Was it because they had surpassed him in strength? Was it because he was outnumbered? Was it because this castle spelled doom for him, because of the weapons and abilities they were given? Was it because he no longer had the Great Sword of Sha? Neither of them knew why. But they knew if it meant Noru's defeat and death, they were grateful for it.
Soul threw his arm into the air as the purple-clad man dodged an attack from the Dark Wolf. A black bolt erupted from the ground beneath the man, throwing him into the air. Finally, the lovers saw their chance.
"WE ARE LEGENDS!!" They yelled. The sparkling magic wings spread from their backs, colored of blue and red. Two curved lines appeared under Reiko's eyes, and two staight black marking appeared under Sessu's.
Finallyyyyy. I managed to finish this. Sorry if it isn't too good, but I like how it turned out personally.
I figured this would be a good place to leave off. I'm still writing the next part, which will hopefully be done within the next few days.
