[b]S3 Hate the past, and the past hates you
Near midnight[/b]
[i]Rafael walked throughout the streets of Dojoville. It is very calm. He'd shop, but he has no money as of current. He had Derix stay home, the kid deserved a rest after all.
Suddenly, something caught Rafael's eye. A moving shadow... But that's not possible, right? Rafael shakes his head, it can't be who he thinks. They couldn't have crossed into this dimension. To himself, he asks if it is really possible.
His thoughts are answered when a cloaked man jumps from the building above, landing on Rafael, though his reflexes were fast enough to barely bring his blades out to protect himself from the attacker.
Soon, they force each other up, locking blades. To the dismay of those around them, quickly spells are thrown around. Lighting strikes, fire scorches, and ice freezes the area. Neither of the two speak a word until the other one catches Rafael off guard and stabs him in the chest[/i]
"Ah.. Zach. It's been a long time. Or do you not go by that anymore? No matter.. Youll never be who you used to be."
[i]The figure kicks Rafael down, chuckling before disappearing into the night[/i]

[i]a small child with blonde and bright green eyes had been watching in hushed silence from the roof above she had jumped down without a sound of her landing. She walked over to him to see if was okay. The tiny pitter patter of feet walking towards him was all that could be heard.[/i] "You okay mister?"says the girl
-
[b]Royal was out on patrol, when he saw Rafael stabbed through the chest. Without hesitation, he rushed over to help him [/b]
-
Edited by Seven: 2/1/2017 3:23:11 AM[i]The area is covered in various marks from all the spells casted all over the place, causing fires. Rafael is in the middle, kneeling now, as he had gotten back up. As Royal approaches, Rafael pulls the sword from his chest, letting out an angry groan, as he mumbles something.[/i]
-
"Rafael!" [b]Royal dropped to his knees, skidding across the ground to a halt next to Raf. His armor set steamed slightly at what he had done [/b]
-
[i]Continuing to mumble, Rafael continues to mumble something, as the wiring pierced seemingly works to repair itself and reseal the skin, causing great pain[/i] "That -blam!-er... He's here too. Of course now of all times.."
-
"Who was he?!" [b]Royal inspected the wound to insure that it would entirely heal [/b]
-
"The Quiet One... That's all he's known as. You could say he's the literal shadow of my former self. He manifested when I took pure energies into my system after I killed Malren.." [i]Rafael loses a bit of his strength, almost falling over completely[/i] "That's why I'm not what I used to be.."
-
[b]Royal grabbed him, helping him stay up and steady [/b] "I see. So we gotta kill the S.O.B. right?"
-
"Not now.. Even with my strongest will, he cannot be killed. He is literal pure darkness. To get rid of the bastard, I need to be stronger." [i]Rafael groans in pain again. And then the same shadowy figure appears behind Royal, exclaiming[/i] "That's right!" [i]The figure then disappears, as quickly as it came[/i]
-
"Good thing you got me then... Here's what we'll do. We're pretty similar in power, I'll provide you with power and energy. Completely give everything to you. Then you kill the BASTARD."
-
"Even with yours, it's unlikely we can even scratch him. He's essentially me.. Well, is the incarnation of my lost power.. but even more durable... Besides.. When the time comes, I want to be the one who ends him. On my own.." [spoiler]As you can likely tell, defeating the other one is what will bring Rafael's powers back to their original state.[/spoiler]
-
"Fine... Then I'll just help you along the way. Get Lord Kross in here, the time Traveller. Hell we'll get a few guardians for extra measure, maybe a Tenno..."
-
"Perhaps.. But if we do. I know of those who have aided me in the past who match those titles. Hold on a moment" [i]Rafael presses an area of his head, a hologram of sorts appears[/i] [i]"Za- I mean Rafael, You're alive?! By the god's where are you?" the hologram states, it's a communication method. One he stole during his travels[/i] "Yes, Centrax. I am indeed alive, don't worry brother, I am fine. Besides, I have more important things. Contact Varren. Send him to my location. That's all for now." [i]Rafael ends the communication, before looking back to Royal[/i]
-
"Certax and Veraan? What do those two do? Surely he can't be a Lord of Cinder such as Kross. There are only three..."
-
"Centrax is my brother. He is essentially my opposite, imbued with pure, more light energies. Varren is a Tenno I used to know whom I ran into throughout my escapades as a teenager." [i]Rafael chuckles, but then groans in pain again[/i]
-
"A Tenno? Haha... Stealing my ideas now are you. Classy." [b]Royal looked at the wound again [/b]
-
"To be fair I knew this guy personally. It was either that, the ex-wife vampire. Or, god forbid, my parents."
-
"Parents? Don't get me started on mine... Or my Ex Time travelling wife... Or my ex Undead girlfriend... Or my own any my family."
-
"Either of the others would be fine on my end.. But I'd rather not danger them. Especially after the fact my home was attacked while they were around."
-
"See I'd be scared of my family getting attacked but they reside in a pocket dimension."
-
"Seeing as it was the sane guy who just stabbed me who attacked, it really wouldn't have mattered"
-
"Yeah apparently not..." [spoiler]>MFW When Rafael and Royal are practically identical [/spoiler]
-
"Hm.. Now if only Al was here. Too bad I left him with Centrax. He couldve assessed the damage more efficiently." [spoiler]To be fair Royal isn't what's basically a shadowy freak of the night due to being mixed with dark magic and bring turned into a cyborg.[/spoiler]
-
"Al?" [b]Royal looked up towards the sky [/b] "So many names." [spoiler]Well I'm halfway there.... Time for some augmentations. [/spoiler]
-
"I know, I get around a lot. Al was a friend of my wife. Poor guy was nearly killed, his body was literally broken. We had to transfer his conscience into a data chip. He essentially is artifical intelligence." [spoiler]And thinking of it, Rafael and Royal both have seen and done some crazy shit[/spoiler]
