[h3] [center] [color=ed1c24][b][u][i]Sir Lancelot Kilgarrah Du Lac, The Dragon Knight[/i][/u][/b] [/color] [/center][/h3] The peaceful meadows of a European sacred grove was Lancelot's favorite places to rest. Or at least it was until someone had destroyed it, burning it to the ground and leaving it as a desolate, firey crater. [color=ed1c24]"Bloody Hell Kilgarrah, I know I already scolded you for burning this meadow..."[/color] The knight started as he was training with a burnt stuffed dummy, landing various physical blows across its body with armored jolts of legs, elbows, and punches. In between attacking the dummy, he continued. [color=ed1c24]"But if were going to be 'heroes' we need to cut back on the destruction. I thought Nagoya had taught us to be [i][u]careful[/u][/i] when we use our abilities. And you wonder why I don't let you have your freedom." [/color] There was a silence between beating the dummy. Lancelot was holding back strength, so as to not ruin the dummy so quickly so he could focus on more so the skill and technique of his blows rather then its raw power. This was a necessary shift in play, as he needed to learn how to control his strength. The nature of his laid back attacks seemed to shift away though as he began arguing with himself. [color=ed1c24]"Like were the only ones that caused trouble. Cosmic boy over there did a plenty on em to you know"[/color] With each change in stance of his argument towards himself, his method of attacking changed against the training dummy. [color=ed1c24]"That isn't the point, Kilgarrah. I made a contract with you to reclaim my honor and redeem my sin, yet here I am again destroying something else as well!"[/color] A solid punch cleaved the head off of the test dummy. [color=ed1c24]"[i][u]You?![/u][/i] The correct terminology is we, fool, we are one now. And I gave you that contract so I can be [i][b]FREE[/b][/i]." [/color]His voice shook the earth beneath him at that point. [color=ed1c24]"My strength has not only been diluted by merging with you, a cost I expected of course, but what I didn't expect is the oh so famous knight of betrayal have a heart. Don't you remember what you did to your [i]"Best Friend?"[/i]"[/color] Lancelot stressed the last words as if tauntingly, shifting from utter rage into cruel mockery in a single sentence. The expression quickly changed to a different mood of anger and regret. [color=ed1c24]"What I did was inexcusable, but that doesn't make me a-" His voice was cut off as he stopped his attacks against the dummy, his tail showing itself before him. "Monster..." He paused, with a defeated tone. "Were supposed to be one, we cannot be if we are on different stances." "Kilgarrah, as much as I would love to agree with you, we are not villains, we need to control ourselves. Not just for our reputation, but for the champions." "You humans are always so 'honorable' it amuses me. I could care less about the race entirely, let their idiocy and fake morales kill them in the end. Why don't we end it faster by burning it[i] all?[/i]" "You had a heart once too Kilgarrah." "That was before your kind imprisoned me, just like how the world will imprison us for our power." "But if you listen to me then that won't happen. Kilgarrah you are typically the smarter and more wise half but your stubborn lust for this 'freedom' you speak of is a detriment to everyone else. If I let you take control again I doubt we will be spared again." "The only reason we lost is because you managed to hold me back." "Your pride blinds you Kilgarrah, I only stopped you for several moments, and those moments were brief. Admittedly, your stubborn desire for destruction keeps me at bay once I let you go." "If you worked with me, then nothing would have stopped us." [/color][color=ed1c24]"Even if that is true, we are here to save them." "Exactly, were doing them a favor by putting them out of there misery. Look at the world Lancelot, almost everyone is corrupt or too foolish to deserve life." [/color]At this point, there was no dummy, just a smoldering crate with stuffing remains of a broken one. [color=ed1c24]"We can't betray them, nor can we betray humanity. So I'm keeping you on a leash from now on, Dragon."[/color] Now Lancelot punched the ground with great force, sending a small tremor and a pillar of fire around him in a fit of temporary rage. [color=ed1c24]"I thought we agreed we won't be doing this."[/color] Lancelot struggled to raise his fist off the ground and lower his temper. That was when he got the call. His out-loud thoughts were broken as they were informed of a criminal in Australia.[color=ed1c24] "Right away, I will be heading there soon."[/color] He contacted back the call before having his wings spread apart and take off into the sky, soaring into the air and heading south east. Next destination, Australia.
