Fenris Fang

[Ultrawolf]

Janitor. That's basically what I am in this world. Clean up the mistakes the old man missed. Already killed the one who's been masquerading as me in this world. Fenris.

It was easy. I knew everything. Where Fenris hid. Where Fenris would be at his weakest. And Fenris was weak. I knew everything he would do from the moment he reached for the hilt on his blades, our blades. Fenris isn't me. Not really. He was a blend of alternate versions of myself. All of them in fact. I don't know too many details, but there was a war. Universes clashed and the ones who fought in that war were punished. They were to be shackled together in one body. Only that body didn't want anything to do with those souls. Dusk. That's the name of the Host body. Heh. Now there was a fighter. We tangoed once. I didn't kill him. Didn't know who he was. If I did. I would have.

Instead I knocked him out and stole his revolvers. I was on a crusade of sorts. I didn't know how to stop the Fenris thing. I would have just killed the desperado but the old man wants him alive. So I did what I had to. I killed each of my others. No alternate selves for Dusk to become Fenris. The old man was right. Mostly right anyway. Fenris still existed but so did Dusk. It's all too complicated. Once I'm done cleaning up this mess, I'm quitting. There's enough blood on my hands.

Alexander Grey continued onward towards his base of operations in this world. No doubt Azurel was waiting for him. Azurel didn't know about this mission the old man had given him. Azurel didn't ask questions. Better that way. Although when he had met the demon the first time he raised some eyebrows. Apparently Fenris knew the demon, if only briefly. He hated that. Ultrawolf had gone to war in many worlds on behalf of the old man. In his place some imposter had run amuck. No more.

[Azurel]

Azurel sat on the rooftop of the tavern that he, Rayne, and Ultrawolf had called their base of operations, silhouetted in the sun's absense next to the other winged creature that eternally rested upon this rooftop; a stone gargoyle. At one point, Azurel got tired of dealing with demon-hating humans around his place of work and, flying to the base of ops one night, he noticed 4 gargoyles on the roof of the tavern. The gargoyles were about Azurel's size, so he knocked one over and took its place for any night that Rayne didn't feel like sitting in the bar and listening to the moronic chats of drunken humans.

Upon seeing Ultra walk towards the bar, Azurel jumped off of the roof, muscles only aching slightly even after hours of sitting in the same position. It was a short drop, but even still, his wings helped carry him to the ground silently. He walked forward, meeting up with Ultra, then turned and walked at his pace. Azurel wouldn't ask questions, he knew that if Ultra had something, he would mention it in the tavern. Though Azurel was anxious for a new assignment. The demon would enjoy the slight walk, even if in silence, for once they got to the tavern doors, it would be Rayne's turn to make an appearance.

[Ultrawolf]

"Varia"
That was all. The name of Zzyxx's wolf friend.
He had one too. Dawn. She wasn't like Varia. Dawn wasn't enhanced or manipulated with. She was a pure wolf. Loyal and Faithful to Ultrawolf and Azurel. Ultrawolf whistled loudly. A signal to Dawn. Her time to prove herself was near.

Ultrawolf proceeded inside towards their operations room. He opened a cage and placed the green bundle he had been carrying inside. Locked the cage. Nobody was taking that boy away from him. He'd come too far to fail now. This was the last one. First he had business with Varia, then he would finish this once and for all.

Alexander Grey began to arm himself for the coming battle.

[Zzyxx]

Zzyxx new he was disadvantaged. Hell, Zzyxx knew he didn't stand a chance. He just had to try; he couldn't let whoever the hell killed Fenris to Harm Iguana. As a samurai, no, as a former father, he couldn't allow a child to be yeilded unfaught for. Varia, Zzyxx wolf of the shadows, was pitch black in color, able to blend into the shadow like Zzyxx used to be able to. Zzyxx lost that abbility after Reverend held teh excercism. Zzyxx was a changed man, he wasn't an assassin anymore. He still had instincts, but for the most part, his skills had diminshed as he tried to relearn how to live. His wolf stalked, she probably knew she was comprimised, but she would be too stuborn to admit it. She had been on silent running for a while as Zzyxx followed her trial. Zzyxx knew he was walking into an ambush, the problem was... he didn't care.

[Ultrawolf]

Ultrawolf held a voice amplification device to his mouth.
"Varia. I warned you and your master to back away. I warned you not to follow me. Don't think you can fool me for a second wolf. You can't hide from me."

Ultrawolf pauses for a moment before pressing a button on a handheld device of some kind. A spotlight flashs directly upon the wolf, Varia.

"You had your chance. There's no escape now."
Ultrawolf lowered the voice amplifier and fired a tracer at Varia with his rifle.
"Now you're on our turf."

[Diablo]

Kain was hovering by, above the woods when he saw two men and a dog and they seemed to be arguing about something. He normally would of stayed out and mind his own business but this time it just seemed odd, an elf and a strange man or maybe he was looking for some blood to shed. Diablo stoped flying and began to decend to the ground, above them.

[Zzyxx]

Variah frozen deerin the headlights style. She was too stuburn to admit to herself what her primal guts had been telling her.
Umm... Boss?
Way ahead of you

Zzyxx watched as the frozen dart he deployed blew the bulb out of the spot light that was shining down his wolf. Zzyxx also deployed a few Ice dopplegangers to try and confuse Ultra for a few seconds. He know the ruse wouldn't last long, but hey, it was worth a shot right? As his copies moved about, so did he. Zzyxx knew Ultra was fond of fire arms, and hot anything much less hot lead put a serious cramp in Zzyxx style, so he was trying to get close enough to make the firearms more of a bane than a blessing. Would his plan work? that was yet to be seen...

meanwhile:

AS soon as the light was out Variah was gone, nothing like to stick around when a laser sight is pointed at them. Variah moved with shadows, know ing now that she was seen and no longer unestimating her foe.
Think he can treat me that way does he? We'll see about that...

[Ultrawolf]

Ultrawolf clicked another button as explosives began to detonate around the Icy duplicates. The fakes melted away instantly. Ultrawolf knew where the real Zzyxx was before the explosives went off. Of course he should know. He was the Chosen of Darkness afterall. Ultrawolf flicked the switch on his rifle to semi-automatic and began firing at the real Zzyxx.

Rookie. It's not a matter of bravado. It's stupidity at it's finest. Attacking both of us...on our own territory...when we knew he was coming. He's sacrificed himself and his friend. Varia's going to get what's coming to her as well.

Ultrawolf knew exactly where the wolf was. He had been able to predict their every move. He knew the foolish warrior would take out the spotlight and send Varia in. Zzyxx had made another rookie mistake. Ultrawolf was the Chosen of Darkness. That meant he knew damn well where the wolf was. There was no way she could fool him or hide from him. He had spoken the truth before. There was no escape. Everything was playing exactly as he had planned. Varia was still a wolf underneath all those enhancements. Still carried a scent. Even an acute one that could be detected by Dawn.

Dawn, who had been in position from the start. Dawn, who had been waiting patiently for her chance to prove herself. And here it was. Dawn lunged at Varia's jugular with the determination of one who had been waiting almost a lifetime for this moment.

[Dantrel Rayne]

Rayne watched as his shadows were sent back with flashes from explosives and muzzle blasts. He watched Varia, being able to see her at all times, especially when in the shadows. He watched Dawn spring its attack. He watched as everything they had planned for go perfectly.

Rayne walked up beside Ultra, making sure to not hinder his shots. He leaned in close to his ear so he wouldn't have to yell.

"I will be outside, not that you need me. And I am not paying for the mess you have made in this room."

He didn't point at the charred ground from the explosives and the splintered gunshot holes in the wood, though he might as well have with how obvious they had become once he noted to Ultra that there was a mess.

Rayne only had one thing against Variah; a wolf running around in his shadows was disgusting. He had spent a century gaining his untangable magics, shadow and gravity, and now this wolf appears with an innate ability for it. He decided that he would let Ultra have his way with it, during the preperations, he told Rayne of how much Dawn wanted to prove itself. Rayne didn't care. Ultra and Dawn could handle the job alone and if not, Rayne would take care of Variah with a single attack.

Walking, as he usually did, Rayne made it to the roof. He sat in Azurel's perching spot. He watched the horizon, filled with shadow from the night, and let himself drift into thought.

[Zzyxx]

Zzyxx took cover from the flood of hot lead. Zzyxx tried to calm himself and think while he was safly undercover.
SHIT!! he knew what i was going to do?! CAlm down Z, no time to panic, panic gets you killed... or messing with one of the chosen... but we'll live to regret this decision. I can't make myself believe otherwise! How can we do this? He obviously planned out the whole thing. I saw Rayne, that must be how he knows about me, Damn. I'm pinned down, who knows what's happening to Variah, and my moves have been predicted...wait, one option, somthing Rayne wouldn't see comming
Zzyxx look around the box to make sure Ultra wasn't moving. Zzyxx knew there was no escape, victory or death, those were the escapes. He closed his eyes for a second, steeling himself for what he was about to do. He exhaled heavily, but it was nearly inaudable under the gun fire.
Xanximarix, up for some rabble rousing?
What'sss thisss? Zzyxx offering me control? Thessse mussst be desssperate timesss indeed!
I just know that if i die, we both die, are you in or not?
Who do you think you are talking to, elf? Of courssse i'm in.
Then let's do this thing.
Zzyxx body began a rapid and frightening change. Suddenly purple balck scales began to appear all over his body, his maw legnthened itself, wings sprouted from his back, his nails became claws, his feet became talons, and his eyes turned purple.
Ah yesss... Time for a new game!!
Meanwhile...
Dawn also had a scent Variah picked up on it a moment before the lunge of Dawn. That moment saved her life. SHe jerked back and Dawn recieved a mouthful of hair. Variah, though startled was still a wolf. She barred her fangs, growled and launched her own lunge.
