[b]"Phew! Good thing we sneaked out before that crap began, right folks?"[/b] A Rogue, one of the Ebony Strykers that slipped off of the Black City before it began to burn into yet another conflict, this time by the Stryker's own hands, said to his two allies, a Warrior and a Healer as they finished felling a group of Dissolutions they found on the Faded City's outskirts, looting some precious EXP.

[b]"Hey! Don't say that, some of our friends didn't escaped, you remember? I wonder if we will even have a home to go back to..."[/b] The Warrior, their group's lone female, said in a wistful tone as she counted the EXP crystals they had jus earned, dividing them as best as she could.

[b]"But, that was kind of their own fault. Who the hell told them to try and join the fight? We're all noobs, the better we do is stay out of the way while we scrape whatever EXP we can."[/b] The Mage added to their discussion, being a realist, down to earth guy that could see that the Ebony Strykers were full of broken people, but none of them know a bit about team work. Meanwhile, the underdogs knew that the best they could do to survive is stick close to one another and hunt in the darkness, where they were saf-safe?

The groups chatter was cut short by the sounds of heavily armored footfalls as a figure, clad in [url=http://i.imgur.com/lpBJZem.jpg]full black armor[/url] walked to them, slowly. It didn't made a sound aside from its steps, in a very ominous way. [b]"He-hey, who are you? If you're an Outlaw looking to get your kicks from, well... kicking the puppies, know that we will defeat you in the name of the Sweepers and the Ebony Stry-"[/b] The Mage, who seemed to be the group's leader, didn't even finished his face as the mysterious avatar closed the distance between them in the blink of an eye, punching a whole through the Mage's chest with her clawed gauntlets. [b]"Who even are y-yo-you monster?"[/b] The mage said as he tied to grab to his silent killer, just before fading into a shower of colored polygons.

The other two would follow suit, no matter how much they tried to run, hide, or worse yet fight, their pursuer would always catch up to them. In the end, only the Warrior lasted, dying slowly as the black knight pinned her down against a wall, crushing her throat bit by bit. [b]"Y-you don...t think this will be s-so easy, tr-trash."[/b] The girl kicked, trying to at least be defiant to the end. As her last act she tried to send a message to the few allies they still had on the Black City, but was never able to do so, as she die just as she was about to click the [b][Send][/b] button. She stared blankly at the text hanging on her nterface, as she faded from DGO, just like her allies:
