CRASH!"Ice! Aren, it looks like Fasily's up against the Mad Player." Zero claimed as he remembered the description of their foe given to them."Ok I'll take th-""No! Stay back! Every time any of us try work as a team, we burden each other with our differences, let me fight him first, if I feel tired, then it's your turn." Zero interrupted, commandingly."But you never get tired!" Aren answered back as Zero disappeared, leaving behind a black smoke where he had been standing.The rogue Onkai charged towards the helpless, frozen Fasily, with the intention of turning him into frozen, red crystals.SHADOW CLONESAs Onkai was about to obliterate Fasily, about a hundred, if not more, black creatures came from nowhere and started to encircle him. All in the shape of men, but no flesh and no features, just made of darkness.Onkai was now confused, clearly outnumbered, he couldn't think straight in the first place, but now he didn't know who to fight or whether to fight them all.Behind the dark cage, Aren carried away the frozen Fasily and started to melt him with gentle flames that scorched from his hands.SNOW BLIZZARDInside the cage, Onkai tried to freeze his many opponents simultaneously, but as he did so, all fell to the ground and disappeared, but when his attack was over, they all rose back up.As he charged up another attack, one of the figures rose from the ground and kicked Onkai in his head.Onkai fell backwards and then another kicked him forwards.The figures then stopped moving, and all jumped onto Onkai, beating him from every single angle possible. It was all to fast for him, some continued their beating whilst some disappeared and ambushed him from another angle to beat him further.But then they all just disappeared...Zero showed himself before the battered Onkai."Now I do have orders to execute you, but every player in Highmaria is gifted the right of a second chance, I'll take you to the King and we'll see-"WATER TITANSMACK!A large figure made of water sent Onkai flying into the walls.Of course it was Fasily."I found him first Zero! He's mine!" He declared"You idiot, I had him!" Zero responded in a monotone frustration."I had him until you two came along!" Fasily countered.Zero turned and marched his way towards Fasily.He grasped onto his cloak's collar with a painfully tight grip."You don't seem to understand just how much your arrogance pisses me off! Until the day comes you realize you're not stronger than everybody, you'll be weaker than everybody." He scolded him. "This is one of the reasons why we can't work together, somehow you just always find a reason to argue, a reason to disrupt the flow of a fight."FREEZE!Onkai from the ground up and shot a blue beam towards the two, freezing them in their argumentative state."Morons!" Aren chuckled, as he watched from a distance. "Looks like I really will have to step in."He leapt in front of Onkai and upholstered his sword.Aren aimed it at Onkai's direction and tightened his grip on it, causing a flame to roar up from the blade.Onkai sent blue balls of ice flying towards his direction, but Aren slashed, smashed and dodged each one with ease."That all you got Mad Player." Aren taunted him.HELL'S ROADAren pierced his sword into the ground and a flame followed itself to Onai's path, burning high, bright and mighty.Onkai summoned an ice barrier to shield himself, but Aren's fire was stronger than Onkai's ice.The fire ruptured through and set onto Onkai.ONKAI-10HP/S IN FIRE{~88/100}Onkai yelled in pain and grunted in fury as he set ablaze. Like a mindless zombie he swung his arms towards Aren, but none landed on his target."Poor thing you! Looks like your fate is sealed. Ha! Would you believe the other guys were making such a big deal out of you, talking about how strong you were and so on. Perhaps they were mistaken?" Aren continued to taunt Onkai in his pain.He pointed his sword towards Onkai's face with the intent to kill, but as he set forth, Zero grasped onto his flaming sword, stopping him from completing his move."Wait!" Zero shouted."Why?!" Aren looked back in confusion."Every player has the chance to redeem himself, if they choose to pledge their lives and powers to the military, and to the military only. No matter how much of a bastard he is, everyone gets a second chance. Plus, we need more men desperately, the way our numbers are falling, we have no other choice." Zero reminded Aren.Aren sighed and nodded his head. Disappointed, he holstered his sword and walked away.As Onkai continued to storm around in a fire, almost dead, Zero lifted him with a dark cloud and started swinging him around in the wind, until almost immediately the fire ceased."I'm gonna have to put you to sleep for a bit." Zero told Onkai as he dropped from the sky."What are you doing!? Let me kill him! We were ordered to kill him!" Fasily shouted from a distance.Zero didn't respond, not with his words anyway. He pointed his hands towards Fasily and a black gush of wind pushed him back.He summoned a stick, not made of anything solid, but instead the same dark substance as all the other creations he had made.As he was about to smash the stick onto Onkai's skull...ICICLE STORMOnkai managed to somehow pounce back up and sent icicles flying down at Zero, forcing him to lose distance from him."More?!" Zero questioned him.Onkai, still furious, summoned two daggers in his hand, but as he did so..."ARGHHH!"His rage-filled frown had collapsed.An inhumane growl was coming from behind the walls."Looks like they're back again." Fasily informed Aren and Zero."You two take them down, I'll take on the Mad Player." Zero commanded them."AHHHHHH!" Onkai was having a headache and horrible migraines, this sound was doing something to him.Suddenly, the visual of someone who felt very familiar transforming into a monstrous creature appeared in his head, and then the image of this person eating him alive.He collapsed to the ground and shrunk back to his normal state, now appearing human once again.His white eyes had regained their blue colour, and with them tears dripped.His anger had transformed to a horrible, melancholic ache."What's happening with him?" Aren questioned as the three comrades all looked at his breakdown."I'm... not sure." Zero responed, just as confused as the others.Onkai started screaming in agony at the pain he felt in his head and heart, trying to cancel out the growls from beyond the wall and the too familiar visuals that surfaced to his mind."Stop! Stop!" He pleaded, screaming in horror as he wept."He started doing that when the zombies came. Maybe it's that?" Fasily questioned.Onkai's voice had faded away, he had used up all his screams and everything appeared to be rotating rapidly.THUD!He fell to the ground, now unconscious.
