*gasps and coughs* well you got rid of my magic...*drops my shield, and my sword hangs loosely in my right hand*

[quote]Oh shit. That was all magic...?[/quote] [b]Cursing silently, he takes off his helmet and begins observing the wounds. Oliver's fire wasn't that deadly when it knew it didn't have to be, but it burned on a different level. There were no scorches or black segments of flesh, but it was just as painful. He looked at Zane with his own eyes. The light brown irises went along with the rest of his Filipino complexion: spiky black hair, tanned skin tone. For once in a very long time, he looked concerned.[/b]

*a pained look overtakes my eyes* *whispers* I'm sorry brother, but I can't fight it any longer*with lightning fast speed, a shadow claw rakes over your right eye and your left cheek and I jump back, darkness emitting from me*

[b]A guttural scream comes from Phoenix's throat as his eye is scratched. His tongueless screeches interfere with his neural messaging system, but they still manage to get across.[/b] [quote]OH COME------10101010101----ON -blam!-ING---1010010101--REALLY--1101010[/quote] [b]The minigun revs up and releases a storm of tungsten carbide rounds to punch through any armour the "Dark Zane" may have. Spinning around whilst the minigun still follows the creature, he brings out several ceramic kunai knives and superheats them with his hand. As they glow a bluish white-hot colour, he throws them all in a horizontal line at the deadly adversary held before him. His thrusters flare to life four times. A warning. Air around him gets very hot all of a sudden, and steam curls off the ground. He places a single hand on the grip of his katana, putting the off hand on the gun trigger attached to the mechanical scabbard.[/b] [quote]Zane. Wake up. I don't wanna do this...[/quote]

[i][b]Zane is gone....and thanks by the way, I haven't been out in a long time[/b][/i]*jumps out behind you and delivers a strong combo of kicks and punches to your armor, denting it* *kicks you up Into the air and unleashes a wave of pure darkness*

[quote]Oh now you're just-[/quote] [b][i]-being mean.[/i] His silent text messages evolve into the deep voice of a man. The eye that was scarred by Dark Zane'a claw becomes an orb of pure blackness... Forever staring out into an unending Abyss. Feeding off of each shadowy attack that graced him, Phoenix- No. this was not Phoenix. Whatever or whoever it was devoured the attacks that his opponent inflicted on him, darkness rolling off in wispy nodes as each dent in his armour unfolds into a billowing patch of shadow. That voice from before wasn't his own either. He opened his mouth-- that was clear enough to see. But somehow, that thing from before bypassed everything and just spoke. It didn't seem malevolent towards him... More like amused. [i]You ready, Luis?[/i][/b] [quote]I am, but this is totally unfair. It seems to me that you just got a massive boost of power.[/quote] [b][i]Haven't felt this good in forever.[/i] Taking out an ornate black bow, chains of darkness forms along his right hand, which is drawing the bowstring back. It connects to multiple pools of shadow that form behind him; gateways to an always hungry Abyss. Drawing power, drawing hunger. Phoenix lets loose the black arrow. It sails towards the beast instantaneously, leaving no room to teleport. The wisps of darkness that escape it turn into other arrows that stream towards his former friend, eventually creating a storm of black arrows. For a second, his form flickers. It changes into the black-hooded form of Jams, his face always hidden by the shadows. But then it melts outwards back into Phoenix's armour, hovering mid-air with one eye a literal ball of darkness. And then Phoenix targets the minigun on the shadowy form of Zane. It's tracking capability has been proved to locate targets going at Mach 2, so keeping him on target wouldn't be a problem. [i]They ready?[/i][/b] [quote]Firing UV rounds.[/quote] [b]Another direct line of bullets tear into Dark Zane, each impact sending a flash of ultraviolet light into the dark figure. It burns away the shadows, acting like much deadlier bullets to the shadows. [/b]

*screams as the arrows and bullets tear through the shadow armor and shreds my insides* *falls over, but not before burning you with one last mark, a shadow dragon tattoo, going across your face and body* *as the last of my life leaves me, your hear my whisper* [i]Thank you brother....[/i]
