A.S.E. Act II: Twilight Division

[Musashi]

OOC: Testing Errors

[Ultrawolf]

The wolves closed in on Azurel, Surrounding him from all sides.
Azurel stared at the wolves menacingly ready to take on any hero who dare attack him.
The lead wolf leaped at him but before he could reach Azurel, he fell to the ground.
There was a red arrow lodged in the wolf's skull.
Azurel looked up. All the wolves were dead. Each with a red arrow in their skulls.
Azurel looked around but found no archer.

Suddenly a Blue arrow struck Azurel in the back.
He fell to the ground and extreme drowziness overcame him.
"I've been drugged...." Azurel passed out.
As if from nowhere a being appeared next to him.
The mysterious figure carried a silver bow and a pack of arrows on it's back.
The figure was covered with a dark red cloak.
"Sorry to do that Azurel. It was for your own good"
The figure pulled back the hood of the cloak to reveal a female figure.
The Mysterious archer was a woman.
She picked up Azurel and carried him on her back.

She stepped sideways and was at the scene of the battle between the Heros and the shadowy adversary. Her left eye glowed and it was as if time had frozen.
She shot blue arrows at all the heros.
"You have all done your task well. Your mission is complete for now and your services will no longer be required...I'm sorry."
She pulled a portal for each hero and sent them back to the moment before they entered the portal in the back of Raven's workshop. She stepped sideways once more and vanished.

Raven's Workshop:

Raven approachs a huddled mass of heros.
"What are you youngins doing slacking off on the job?! You're supposed to be fixing up this mess! Back in my day youngsters used to do as they're told..."
Raven rambled on and on and started wandering around continuing to ramble.

The heros looked around and at each other. None remembering what had happened
or what they had been doing there asleep. All they remember was a fantastic dream about a Hero's vow to never rest until he could avenge his family's death at the hands of the deepest darkness within himself.

"The End"
"Wow grandpa. What happened to Ultrawolf? Did he ever make it out of that maze? What about the shadow wolf? Did he win? Grandpa?!"
"Well honey...that's a story for another time, but I tell you what. Why don't you look underneath my bed?"
"You mean Ultrawolf's scimitar? I've seen it a billion times grandpa and you still haven't told me where you got it."
"Have you now? Why don't you take a harder look at it this time..."

The young girl opened the case again and looked at the shining scimitar with the white wolf and black wolf etched onto it's surface. This time however she noticed something else. Between the two images, there seemed to be an invisible image only seen when the light directly shone on it.

A Raven...

Epilogue:
The archer reappeared in an empty room save for a chair
and the man known as Ultrawolf chained to it.

"Who.....Rosy?"
"Yes..."
"What? But how? You can't be the Rosy I know....the Rosy I know is..."
"Dead. I'm from another reality."
"oh..."
"In my reality our roles were reversed. In my reality I have all of the powers you have here in this reality. Everything...even those that you have yet to discover. You died so that I may live and not the other way around. Anyway let me untie you."
Rosy frees Ultrawolf from the chair.
"Did...this happen in your reality too?"
"Yes....We didn't make it. In my reality Azurel died by the hand of the wolves. Tobias was struck down by the Darkwolf. Diablo died so that Twilight Division and myself could escape from Darkwolf. Darkwolf slaughtered Twilight Division shortly after. We weren't strong enough. "
"Darkwolf..the true Ultrawolf. I'm not the real version. I'm from the splintered reality"
"....If it were not for Darkwolf I would have never met you"
"He has the completed artifact. I was tricked into making the horrible weapon for him. What can we do?"
"We will fight him."
"You just said you didn't defeat him in your reality."
"I didn't have you by my side."
