|Lugere, near the town of Nouvelle|

Korrigan was not happy. First he had been called to Blackened SkyHold, an Umbraisis Fort that was made in case their was ever a need to evacuate local towns, to deal with the local bandits that were kidnapping travelers off the roads, then he had to deal with the immense disrespect of his so called 'family' as they called him a 'morph-lover' and a 'traitor to the family'. He shut them up real quick by asking them if they want to duel over it, if they cared so much. Since he was one of the best swordsmen in Lugere, they quickly backed off, resorting to talking about him behind his back. And finally, he had to track these bandits through rocky mountains, dark, damp tunnels, and now this stupid forest. Compared to the other places, it wasn't that bad, but after all of the walking he had to do to get here, he was thoroughly pissed off at the moment. 

He had found the bandits hideout, a camp in the middle of the forest, and he wondered how come the guards hadn't caught thee guys already. They didn't cover their tracks and only seemed to eat rum and mead if the litter form their last camps was anything to go on. It was ridiculous, and he was beginning to think the only reason they didn't catch the bandits themselves was they knew they could get him to do it. Probably on the orders of the shit-nosed brat of a family heir, Nathaniel.

Quickly turning away from that line of thinking, he took a deep breath and surveyed his surroundings. He was currently in a tree over looking the drunken festivities as the bandits ate, drank, and leered at the women they had taken hostage from the roads. It didn't take much imagination to figure out what they had planned, and it disgusted him. Getting tired of waiting, he called out to Shade with his mind.

[i]'Are you ready, because I'm about 5 seconds from starting this with out you'[/i]

[i][b]Calm down Korrigan, I'm in position, though if you give me a couple more minutes, I'll be completely ready. Could you do that for me?[/b][/i]

[i]'Are you preening yourself down there?'[/i] Korrigan asked in a flat, unamused tone, followed by a growl of annoyance when he received no reply. [i]'We're doing this now, so you better be ready now!'[/i] His command was met with grumbling acceptance, causing him to sigh. You would think a supposed God of Death wouldn't be so goddamn worried about his appearance all the damn time.

Korrigan silently slid down the tree to the ground, and then began stalking through brush to the camp, his eyes open and his hands on his two blades. As he moved towards the camp, the shadows of the surrounding area began to slightly flicker and shift, as if something was moving on the other side. As one of the bandits walked towards the edge of the camp, probably to throw up or relieve himself, he was suddenly dragged into the shadows of a nearby brush, to fast for him to even let out a sound. This began happening all around the camp, with the brigands being dragged to their doom. It went on for a lot longer than it should have, due to the fact that most of them were drunk, and those that weren't were asleep. 

But that couldn't hold forever.

A scream tore through the air as one man had managed to get away, only to be stabbed through the leg by a long black claw and dragged back into the shadows. It was at this moment that Korrigan struck, his red eyes taking a menacing glow as demonic apparitions began to form around him to the eyes of his enemies, giving him a look of a demon to all who witnessed him. The bandits, having their reactions dulled by drink and fear, were slow to react as he killed two of the ten still alive, decapitating them in a flash, before turning to the rest.

"Who's next."

|Ayero, Road to Hiden|

John cursed as he felt the dryness of the air envelope him, he had faced other pokemon with similar abilities, but not quite to this level. His cursing only increasing as he saw the Pokemon's attack, backing up so he didn't get caught in the blast. Axia wouldn't be able to take a direct hit from that, even with her resistance. He drew in a breath, before yelling out to Axia, hoping that she could hear him over the roaring flames.

"Axia, dual dragon claw into the ground, NOW."

Axia upopn hearing her masters orders, quickly charged up her dragonic energy over her horns, before slamming them at angle into the ground in front of her. Boosted by her dragon dance, it caused a small shield of earth to rise up, protecting her from a good portion of the attack. She stayed their until he attack ended, then quickly jumped over the charred hill, her entire body becoming covered with dragonic energy as she went in to a rampage, charging the Groudon at extreme speeds with an all-out Outrage attack.
