Evil

"Now go, let's master this new technique before we can do anything else Morgana." the man said. A slim, sleek shape moved through the water, then snaped up a target, and went back into the water before it was noticed. As the target left the bank, the man threw daggers right past the animal crocodile coming out of the water, striking the two targets sneaking up behind them each in the heart. "There, now, break time." he said collapsing. "That wassss marveloussss." the croc hissed. "No one will sssstand in our way now.". The man looked nevervous, but quickly started laughing at the thought of power.

Mica walked slowly through the swamplands. She felt something, someone dark nearby. She would not call on Kyra yet. The threat would have to be found and assessed. She walked cautiously, her hand gripping one of the daggers within her waistband. She saw the man near the water’s edge as she slowed her pace. She looked him over closely. Slowly she crept upon him closer, stalking him as her feet moved upon the slick marsh grass. Her foot slipped causing her to loose her balance. She fell, hitting her head upon a rotting log. She lay unconscious as her connection to Kyra severed.

"What wasss that?" Morgana asked. "I don't know, let's check it out." the man said. He jumped into the swamp waters, searching for his prey. "This should be fun." the thought

Mica rose to her feet. “Kyra now! Before he is on us.” Kyra leapt toward Mica as she seemed to disappear within her chest. Mica transformed into the large panther-woman almost instantaneously. Her fingernails turned to razor sharp claws, her reflexes quick and lithe as a cat. Her face rounded as her nose slightly elongated. Midnight black fur melded with human flesh producing a frightening but beautiful looking adversary. Her eyes green and cat-like watched as the man approached. Mica moved with grace throughout the swamp, moving around behind the man. Her hand gripped the dagger in her waist band as she watched him.

The man saw wat was going on, "Morgana, let's try that move now." he said. Both dove under the water, the man circling around and Morgana going straight ahead to attack from ahead.

Mica watched as the man and the crocodile dove under the water. She saw the crocodile heading for her and new the man would be circling around. After all, it is what she would do, divide and conquer. She ran and leapt at a nearby tree, running between two close together, she made her way up high into the branches where she sat, looking down upon them. Her eyes scanned the water for the man. He was the bigger threat at the moment. Had she stayed within the water, the crocodile would have had the advantage.

"You have got to be kidding me." Archer stared in shock as he stared at himself in the bathroom mirror. "This isn't real..." He drew back and ran out of the bathroom to change; to get out.
"You can't run from this Archer, not for long...I will be here, waiting, until you are fully ready." Hermes told him as Archer bolted from his apartment and onto his motorcycle.

"This is crazy!" He mumbled as he placed his helmet on, revved the engine and headed towards his normal routine of going to the local coffee shop.

Sitting down after grabbing his cup of coffee, he relaxed a bit for Hermes... Geez...I'm naming my voice now...that's not good... no longer spoke to him and so he attributed the whole thing to sleepiness and hallucinations.

"This is all so confusing", Doug said as he finished up his last class for the day. "I know tIhat something is going on, and that I need to find this Salgou of which I am bonded to now through this scar, but I don't know what exactly is going on." "When will he show himself again to me and help me figure out what I am supposed to do?". He walked on for a bit and at last sighed in a light whisper and said "Salgou", as if he had known him forever and was missing him all ready. At that very moment he felt a tingling sensation in his bond scar and a bright light flashed before him. There in front of him stood his "Spirit beast". Salgou said in a humurous voice "I was beginning to wonder when you would call for me". "This is the first stage of our development, I cannot come to you unless you call for me". "I am so glad to see you, Salgou." Doug said "I am so confused on what I am supposed to do, I need you to help me figure this all out". Salgou laughed and said "All spirit warriors are confused at first, don't worry, it will come to you in due time." Doug sighed and said "Ok, what do we do first". Salgou said "I can only be with you for a short time at first, we need to start with the basics and work from their." "The first step is to choose your weapons". "Your weapons will advance as you grow stronger and understand more". Doug chose the short sword and axe. Salgou said "great choices Doug, I don't think I could have picked a better combination myself." "Great!" Salgou said "Now that w have gotten that out of the way we can begin practice". "What we must first practice is synconozing our attacks down to the last half second". All of a sudden the woods that had once vanished reapearred and there before them was a large field full of obstacles that looked beyond impossible. Doug said "there is no way that I can do any of these!!" Salgou laughed loudly and roared "Apart we cannot do any of these, but together there is nothing in the world we can't achieve!!!" "Now! Lets begin our training shall we!" Doug yelled "All right! Lets do this!!". The first attack they learned together was the cougar leap. This technique required great agility and jumping skills. Doug would begin to run as fas as he could toward the attacker with axe in hand while salgou would simultaneously (remember, these techniques had to be precise) leap in the air, at the right moment this would create an intense pocket of air pressure of which no normal fighter could withstand. Salgou and Doug would hit the opponent at the exact same time sending him or her swirling through the air in that pressurized air pocket. After a few seconds Doug would send his axe spiraling through the air to release the built up pressure that continued to increase over time. The opponent would be sucked through the tiny air pocket at an enormous rate of speed reducing him or her to a useless pile of bone and flesh. "Wow!" Doug said with great enthusiasm, "That is a very intense technique we just learned." Salgou replied breathlessly "It sure is, unfortunately I have to leave you now to recuporate. I will be back as soon as you call for me". In a fading voice as he dissapeared he said "Remember, Stay strong, I'm always with you in your heart". And like that he was gone and Doug was back at his apartment. "That was awomse!"Doug thought vigorously. "Well, it is time for me to catch some shut eye for my big day tomorrow, boy what a day!"

"Morgana, do you see her?" the man asked. "No, but she wen't upwards into the trees, that's our one weakness." she replied. The man knew this was true and started thinking. "Morgana, come, let us become one and vanquish our foe in the open." "All right, but what about her being in trees, that's a cat's home." Morgana said. "No worries, I"m sure everything will work out in due time." he said, smiling evily. Morgana swam as fast as she could towards the man and went straight into his heart. An evil laugh erupted from him as he came out of the water, scaley skin, sharp teeth in an elongated mouth, and super sharp claws. "Here kitty kitty kitty, come out to play." he taunted.

The next day Doug was walking home when all of a sudden Salgou appeared out of nowhere and threw Doug on his back. Doug shouted confusingly "What is going on Salgou?". Salgou roared in a loud voice "We have been summoned, Kyra needs our help". "What who is Kyra and what does she need help with?!" doug replied. "Talk later Doug, right now we have to get to the swamplands as quick as possible, it's time for us to learn a new technique, it requires you and I to merge as one, do you think you can handle it?" Salgou asked. "Lets do this, I'm ready!" This technique required Doug to concentrate very hard on what he wanted to do, there was a bright light and Salgou and Doug had turned into one being, running uprigt at 20 times the speed of any normal cougar. There was fur all over his body, he had golden eyes as bright as the sun, muscle mass had expanded tremendously with fangs extended out of his mouth. "Theres the swamp!" they said, and finally they reemerged as Salgou and Doug again. "Theres Kyra" Salgou said in a soft voice, "Hurry we must get up there to her".

[Caleb]

"Be careful, there's another." Moragana told him. "I see him. Another cat to, this isn't excatly what I'd call fair. What do you want to do?" he asked. "Let's take them on, they're no where near our level yet." Morgana replied

[douglas9465]

Salgou heard all that this crocidile man was saying...."I am not a cat! Cats are puny, I am a daring Cougar!". "Doug this will be our first test as partners, I don't know what will happen, all I know is that it is a pleasure to be by your side, and together I feel that we can accomplish anything!!". "Your Right!" Doug replied and with a great speed and agility that he had never experienced before he and Salgou jumped to the point in the tree where this Kyra and her parter were fused togethr as well. Salgou immediately went to them and asked "Is everything all right?" "Are you hurt?". Doug said to them "Hi, my names Doug, can we be of assistance to you today?"

After grabbing his cup of coffee and sitting a chair before work started, Archer breathed a sigh of relief. "It was all a dream." He chuckled softly to himself.

Once done with his morning coffee, he got back on his bike and headed into work, but he still couldn't shake off his dream; it was so vivid.

Getting on his mechanic jumpsuit, Archer helped his friend's dad open the auto shop.

"You all right, Arch?"
"Yeah, just didn't get a decent night sleep."
"That's not good. You up for work today?" His boss looked at him with concern.
"Yeah. I'm good. I think the caffeine is kicking in soon." He gave him a smile.
"Okay...let me know if you don't feel up to it, all right? I don't want any accidents happening."
"No prob, Chuck. I'll be all right." Archer reassured him and began to check under the hood of one of the cars stationed over night.
