"wait, that's..... Damon's eyes widen in disbelief and understanding all at once.
A black beam of light with a blue core suddenly appeared behind him.
woosh!
Damon jumped back while twisting his body barely dodging the attack and nearly fell off the roof at the same time.
"see, I told you we were being watched." a male voice said to another by his side.
Damon looked at the two figures coming out of the darkness into the moonlight that had the roof dimly lit. he then looked back down in the alley where he had last seen them.
The only thing he could think of at that moment of seeing them so suddenly was their speed.
His face was still covered as he still wore his hooded cloak mask of the blood orange snake. he had never taken it off and wasn't planning to until he had got back near the guild inn.
"hmmm, and what is your business following us. are you with that filth down there. the male with a red face covering asked
"no, I was just nearby and heard a little commotion that's all. I don't care about the man you two killed. he's a sick individual and I probably would have done the same. " Damon responded.
"so you admit to knowing him I see. that's not a good thing for you my friend."
Damon took in a deep breath as he felt this would be a misunderstanding and would probably get out of hand if he didn't tell them more.
"look, I was there at the underground market place. I witnessed her fight with that guy and I know what he was doing to you and for that I'm sorry you dealt with such a person."
hearing this the girl looked at Damon with questionable eyes.
"come on. let him go, besides we only paid the guards in this area to turn their heads for one dead body not two of them the girl said to the male next to her.
True, but you've been having fun the entire night and I have yet to enjoy myself. that man was yours to kill. so how about I don't kill this one and just beat him to a pulp instead."
hearing this Damon's eyes became intense as electricity sparked and crackled in them making them both take a step back at the sudden change.
"ha,well it looks like you're not afraid of a challenge. let's have a little fun shall we, just me and you I promise. the boy said as a dark energy with a blue core inside it covered his arms.
"these two, I'm sure they are the same two that I saw with the purple puppets. Abot said they were brother and sister. I've seen how the girl's power works a little but not her brothers which seems to be similar but yet much different.
Damons ki had returned a while ago and so he was fully charged and waiting for him to make the first move.
"if you must fight him, don't take all night. I'm ready for a nap before we move out. the girl says while walking away taking a seat on a metal block piece of machinery that was attached to the roof.
"it seems you have a serious knack for getting yourself into trouble." shield says to Damon not getting a response because Damon was focused on one thing.
They both moved to the middle of the roof allowing space between them. Damon's arms sparked as electricity covered his fists and forearm.
[Ding!
you have been challenged to a fight. defeat your opponent.
rewards: a special recipe. ]
Damon ignored the message.
"don't take this personal. I just wanna have a little fuuuuuuuuuuun." the boy shouted running in with a raised fist. Damon twisted his foot in a pivot manner while bracing himself. raising his arm for a block.
Their energies flashed sending out sparks.
With Damon's pivot foot he broke their melee connection briefly letting the boy's momentum carry him forward while twisting his body slightly to the side and around connecting a powerful elbow to his back sending the boy tumbling a few feet.
The girl's eyebrows raised and a light smirk could be seen across her face.
Damon then sent out a web of lightning from his palm but the boy had gathered himself in time to turn around.
waving his hands a circular dark hole was created vibrating with a blue pulsing power that blocked Damons attack. that same power shot forward after diminishing Damons lightning while shaping into a ball.
it happened quickly and Damon had no time to move as he was not expecting it and so he took the hit straight on.
the power collided with his hands as they were covered with his own power. his feet struggled as he was pushed back. he then held on to the ball with one hand while raising the other slapping it upwards spiking it like a volleyball.
Hearing a whistling sound Damon looked back down seeing a fist coming right at him. he moved his head to the side as the boys fist scratched the side of his cheek. cutting him deep enough to draw blood.
Damon gritted his teeth while grabbing onto the boys shoulder and pulling his head back headbutting him.
Crack !
Damons head bashed into his nose which made a cracking sound. he then connected a knee to his stomach then a strong right hook to his face sending him to the ground.
Damon stepped back but was now falling on his back as the boy twirled his body and legs while on the ground sweeping Damon's feet away while getting up at the same time.
in a few seconds the boy turned the tables and positions, as it was Damon on the ground instead.
Damon jumped back up and was met with kick to his chest sending him flying and crashing down on another roof top.
Ahhhhh!
Bang!
the young man came crashing down out the sky with a punch meant for Damon but instead his fist smashed a hole and small crater in the roof throwing metal and stone everywhere. Damon had rolled out the way while getting back up to his feet.
rahhh!
they both yelled after locking eyes and speeding back in for combat.
Bang !
Bang !
Bang!
their fists and legs clashed back and forth as their powers ignited the night sky around them.
a dark icy blue and high blue ripples of energy burst with every hit.
"ya know, you're not that bad. unfortunately I have yet to get serious. the boy says connecting an open palm strike to Damons stomach pushing him back sliding on his knees.
Damon looked up in anger while activating static jump. A burst of electricity thrusted from his feet slinging him forward rocking the boy with a strong left overhand strike that rattled his skull.
Grabbing him by the head Damon pushed it into the roof cracking the ground. the boy gritted his teeth pushing his head against Damon's arm.
shoooooooo!
Boom !
Damon jumped out the way as a black beam of energy with a blue core zipped past his face. by the time he got back focused he felt a beyond cold sensation hit his stomach.
Damon yelled in pain as he was hit again in the chest sending him to the floor a few feet away. his chest and stomach was strangely in pain as it felt like his organs were freezing.
arrrrrg!
huff!
huff!
"ha, I guess I gave you too much credit. I hit you twice with my power and your done for already. hahahaha! what a joke." the boy said as he walked towards Damon.
"is this, some type of ice. my torso feels so numb and it's burning at the same time. what is this. I feel so cold to the point it burns." Damon thought as he moved around trying to crawl.
"it's no use, once my black ice makes contact it puts your body in a type of frostbitten state. it'll spread like a disease unless I stop it. you're done." the boy said confidently walking up.
"hmph, thanks for the explanation, but it wasn't necessary.
Bang !
Damon came catapulting upwards connecting a thunderous uppercut filled with demonic ki. the extreme cold frostbitten feeling left gradually as his demonic powers charged within his body destroying the black ice that was stuck on his chest and stomach area.
Damon raised his hand to the sky as dark clouds and heavy rain appeared out of thin air.
The girl stood up in confusion and bewilderment. her brother was hit so hard he lost consciousness as his body went up in the air. his eyes were completely white and had rolled backwards.
4yopHe did however see dark clouds and felt heavy rain pouring down on him before he was completely out.
Damon raised arm and slammed down as his eyes cracked purple with power and his dreadlocks floated upwards. his hood had flown up and to the back side of his head revealing his features.
a purple lightening bolt jetted out the sky and the next thing was seen was a purple engulfing light. as the light disappeared a hole could be seen going straight through the roof of the building and burnt pieces of stone.
standing a few meters away was the girl called Cali holding her brother in her arms. She had intervened swooping in getting her brother to safety.
Damon eyes settled down and the cloud and rain dispersed.
"if it's one thing I hate, is liars. he said it would be just me and him. your interference means you'll meet the same fate. Damons hands began to crackle as two whips creating by electricity was forged in his hands.
"wait, the fight is over. you've won. stand down. I only acted because I felt your last attack would hurt him greatly."
"oh, but didn't his attack bring pain to me earlier. you didn't think that way when it was I, someone who you both considered an enemy in your mercy." Damon responded with a hard stare.
"you're right. look I'm sorry but he's my brother. I couldn't just let you hurt him to that extent. if you won't let this be then I'll fight you in his place." the girl said as she placed her brother who was still unconscious down on the roof.
just then guards were heard shouting and running below them on the streets.
"I would consider leaving this matter alone Damon. you and your guild will be in great trouble if you are found out." Shield spoke snapping Damon out of his anger.
Damon deactivated the whips. "oculus flash." he thought as a bright light stretched out across to the girl and with that Damon was gone within a blink of an eye.
Cali stood there for a while as her sight was taken away from her so suddenly. she almost began attacking blindly but felt the attack was not meant to harm them in any way and so she remained calm.
after her sight returned she picked up her brother who was slowly regaining his head and jumped from roof top to roof top off into the distance.
A short brown curly haired girl watched closely with a smile on her face standing on a hovering thin needle like object as it floated in the air high above the buildings moving away from the show that had just ended.
"it seems you are full of surprises." my rival. she whispered to herself.
Damon was now a great distance away and only a few roof tops away from the guild inn.
once closer he jumped down in an alley and walked normally. upon entry he was met with six guards.
"please state your name reservation and where you are returning from." one of them asked. Damon could tell something was up and played the part well.
After giving them the info that was needed. he was asked a few questions concerning a lot of commotion that had taken place twelve to fifteen minutes ago which Damon acknowledged he too had heard fighting going on with a few explosions while on his way back to the inn.
"I didn't want to get hurt, I saw it from a great distance away and so I hurried back here to safety, not knowing exactly what was going on out there."
"you look like you've been in a scuffle kid. if you were up to something it's best you tell us now." another guard said seeing the gash on Damon's cheek.
"oh, this beauty mark. I got this from being a little wild tongue with my mom earlier. she sure has a good left hook." He told the guards in which they believed and let him pass while making side comments about the left hook his so-called mother gave him.
he was a few turns away from his room when he felt a familiar presence around the corner he was just about to turn.
"Are you serious right now. How did she know." he thought to himself before turning the corner seeing Vora waiting at his room door.
"someone has been busy. I've been here for the last thirty minutes waiting for your return. you take a nightly stroll or something." she asked.
" ahhh, well yea. I just got some fresh air. it seems that fresh air costed you blood and ruffled up clothing." she said eyeing the cut on his face and his leather coated cloaked armor.
Damon looked at her for a few seconds and decided to come clean. he knew it was no way she would believe any bull crap he tried to come up with.
while telling her his little adventure he was distracted here and there by what vora had on.
she was wearing a long white shirt that went down mid ways at her thighs with wolf fur bedroom shoes that were grey and purple. it was more like a short gown that hugged her curves nicely. Damon's wandering eyes didn't go unnoticed.
"keep your perverted thoughts to yourself. I'm in my night attire. you can still get your ass beat with me dressed like this." she said as she turned from his door and walked away.
"you have three hours to get some rest. meet us in the lobby at 9 am sharp." she added while walking down the hall.
"she sure made it difficult to focus. I wonder if all girls wear such things as night clothing like that." he thought while closing the door and stripping to his underwear flopping on the bed.
