Journey To DarkSpire Part 8: Black Fire

Cell-3 stared intently at the flying menace. Its blue eyes seemed to be wispy, its scales were darker than night, its claws and teeth were shinier than metal, and four huge twisted horns emerged out of its head. Sharp spikes were present on its elbows and shoulders. Its wings were bony structures, with no scales or flesh; just pure bone that had erupted out of its back. Instead, the flaps consisted of blue fire, burning between the sharp struts of bones that had come out of the main bone erupting from the shoulder. Cell-3 could count at least five “fingers” on each wing, with blue fire burning brightly in between them. Its tail was black, and at the end of it were two spikes twisting around each other. It roared, filling the air with a menacing war cry that was unimaginable to the mortal mind. It was sort of a screech... but it was loud. Its clawed feet buried into the town’s walls at its arms stood at its side. Its mouth lit up with a blue essence at it positioned its head downwards, facing a nearby guard barrack. As its hands opened up to reveal a scaly palm, it screeched and a colorless Fire was thrown out of its mouth. Its eyes were blazing blue as it kept its mouth open. The barrack suddenly dissolved into colorless embers, and then evaporated. Cell-3 watched in horror as it screeched once more and closed its mouth... “What the hell... is that?” A voice behind Cell-3 speaks in a horrified tone. Cell-3 turns around to see Hammerfist staring at the creature with horror in his eyes. The rest of the team was behind him, all cowering in fear except for ImmaDrizzit, Who held a brave and determined expression on his face, and deatheater and Phoenix, Who were both slightly smiling... “That is Alphos. Dragon of Despair, known for its signature ability to cloak itself and its fire. It bears what we call Black Fire as a weapon. Be careful: Alphos is one of the more powerful great dragons. I wish you luck. Meet me at the gates of Valkyr, and for goodness sake, please stay alive...” Says Cell-3 with a very serious tone. His eyes suddenly turned red as rockets from beneath his feet started to turn on. He was lifted into the sky and in a few seconds he maneuvered through the air towards the front of the city. He disappeared from sight as he flew behind a building. ImmaDrizzit was the first to follow him. TotallyNotThor and ManofLight both chased him as they made their way down the stairs towards the gates of Valkyr. The rest of the team started to follow, but Deatheater grabbed Artemis by the shoulder as she began to run with the team... “Be careful out there. This foe seems pretty powerful. Don’t worry about me, but be sure to keep yourself safe.” Artemis rolled her eyes as she nodded... “I’ll be fine. You worry too much for a Reaper. Besides, I want to have some fun with this prey.” She added as the duo began to make their way to the gates. • Chaos erupted at the gates as Alphos landed in front of the wooden barrier. The guards in the tower shot crossbows at the beast, but they seemed to bounce off. A guard near the entrance held a rifle of some sort, and he wore a fur cap. Alphos started to laugh. The laugh was deep, and very spine-tingling, stopping the guards in their tracks. Cell-3 looked around frantically for the team as guards evaporated into thin air in front of him. He stopped the guard with the fur cap as he ran in front of him... “You! Whats your name?” Cell-3 asks. “TheSovietAdidas. General of Valkyr.” He responded in a Russian accent. Cell-3 grabbed him by the arm and dragged him to nearby cover as the wooden gate behind two exploded into pieces. They hid behind a wooden wall positioned next to the gate... “I want you to tell me: How much damage can those crossbows do with some modifications?” Says Cell-3, looking over the small wall to keep his sights on Alphos. “Ay, how would I know that?” TheSovietAdidas responds. “Just give me your opinion damnit!” Says Cell-3 as rocks showered him. “Alright, alright. Don’t be such a bear. We’ve been able to repel some dragons with our weapons of war. Never actually killed one.” Responds TheSovietAdidas. Cell-3 nods. Suddenly he looks towards where the gate once was to see Alphos trying to squeeze into the city. Cell-3 ran out of the wall’s cover and he latched onto the dragon’s tail. TheSovietAdidas followed him, unloading a shot from his rifle at the beast’s leg. A gold bullet buried deep into the dragon’s foot as it started to turn around. Cell-3 shot a few rounds from his arm into the dragon’s scaly tail. As the dragon began to back out of the city, it turns its head around to see SovietAdidas. The dragon smiles, its gleaming silver teeth showing in its mouth. It cloaks, disappearing form view as SovietAdidas watches in horror, holding on to his rifle and his fur hat. Cell-3 Activates his rockets and grabs him by his arm as he flies just above him. Right as Cell-3 lifts him up, Alphos bites the air where SovietAdidas once was. Its eyes burn with anger as it looks up. Its jaws are held in place, its silver teeth like daggers, as it starts to cloak again. Cell-3 lands on top of a building, and drops SovietAdidas on top of the building... “Assist us from up here...” Says Cell-3 as he begins to fly down onto the street. The team had made their way in front of the gates, and they were looking for the dragon. MagicSpaceKitty started to step outside of the town. Cell-3 started to warn her as he tried to fly for her, but he was too late. Suddenly, she was sent flying by an invisible force. Her purple dress was in tatters and blood spurted out of her stomach as she slams into a nearby building. Scott, her Wyvern, started for her as he whined... “Oh.... shit...” Says Foofer as the dragon uncloaks in front of his eyes. Its blue eyes were locked onto the dragon bender, unwavering and burning with anger. It showed its teeth. Its mouth began to light up as it lifts its bony wings and begins to stand up on two legs. It lifts its arms off the ground as it stand up, staring at the team. “That... doesn’t look too good...” Says Diana as she stands next to ImmaDrizzit. “Run!” Says a robotic voice behind the team. Suddenly the team disperses into an unorganized mess in all directions as the dragon fires a beam of colorless fire, rippling the air with flame-like illusions. The beam could barely be seen, but it made the air around it fly in a flame-like effect. A shot was heard from a building above. A gold bullet flies through the air and into the dragon’s mouth. The dragon shrugs it off as the bullet buries deep into its mouth. But then, an The bullet explodes inside of the dragon’s mouth, forcing the dragon on the ground. It gets up on all fours, its mouth now blackened in gunpowder. Cell-3 could be seen pushing a crossbow in front of the dragon, with Robo Owl providing cover fire. Death eater had tried to get close to the dragon, but he was met with a whack from its tail, knocking the air out of him and sending him flying next to Cell. Diana was carrying MagicSpaceKitty next to ImmaDrizzit, Who was holding up his shield. He stared at the dragon with wide eyes as it effortlessly strikes TotallyNotThor with its claws. The Druid’s arm was covered in blood as he was sent flying onto the dirt street. Cell-3 had the crossbow in front of the bestial menace, and he beckoned Robo Owl to stand next to him...

  • “Robo Owl, I need you to modify this Crossbow to fire one of Artemis’ explosive arrows. And make this thing shoot it with more momentum.” Says Cell-3. He then looked at Deatheater, lying on the ground next to him, and he saw Phoenix stand above him, looking at the fallen reaper with what seemed to be worry. “I need you two to distract that Invisible piece of shit while we get this damned thing modified.” Cell-3 adds in a very furious tone. Phoenix helps Deatheater up, and the two slowly make their way to the dragon. Robo Owl got to work on the crossbow. “I guess I could say that this thing is bound to make the dragon cross!” Says Robo Owl as he begins to pull out tools. Onyxia, TotallyNotThor’s Wolf, drags the Druid towards ImmaDrizzit’s temporary haven. Diana had popped up a Golden bubble around the small group. Artemis started to run on the side of the building as she shot an explosive arrow at the beast. The arrow digs deep into Alphos’ shoulder, but it barely penetrates the layer of scales. The arrow explodes shortly afterwards, but all it does is just destroy a few scales. Alphos laughs as guards begin to pour in from behind Cell-3 towards the broken gate. Cell-3 tries to stop them, but he curses as the flood of guards rush right past him, chanting war cries. Cormick is at the heel, holding a small flintlock pistol. Alphos opens its mouth and out comes another colorless beam. All the guards evaporate into thin air in front of it. Cormick watches in fear as his army of guards disappear in front of him, burning away into colorless embers. Alphos lets out a screech as it feels pain on both of its legs. Death eater and Phoenix have both stabbed the sides of the dragon. A beam of moonlight hits the dragon in the eye as Deatheater’s scythe glows purple. It bounces off of Alphos, hitting Hammerfist as he unphases. The beam grazes Hammerfist’s shoulder, burning it and sending him falling to the ground. Deatheater looks up at the beast at worry... “That...wasn’t supposed to happen...” he says in a grim tone as he buckles to his knees. A flash of black appears in front of him and he looks down to see blood coming out of his robes. He begins to fall. Artemis swiftly rushes towards him to pick him up. He drags him towards the Golden bubble made by Diana. Phoenix tried dodging a tail swipe, but he is knocked into a wall. The dragon heads for the crossbow... “-blam!-! Don’t let it get near this damned thing!” Says Cell-3 as he thrusts himself towards the beast. Robo Owl is still working on the giant crossbow. He seems to have made some progress on the thing. ManofLight joins Cell-3 as they maneuver themselves in front of the beast, dodging black flames and claw swipes. ManofLight manages to throw some kunai at the dragon. The red-tipped kunai explode into a hive of embers, searing the dragon’s scales. Hammerfist could be seen crawling next to Robo Owl, helping him with minor things. After a few seconds, Robo Owl flashes Cell a thumbs up. Cell quickly jumps out of the fight as ManofLight dodges the dragon’s attacks. Cell-3 looks up at SovietAdidas, nodding. SovietAdidas lets out a few shots at the beast, distracting it. The beast looks up, its blue eyes flaring with anger. Cell-3 beckons Artemis towards the Crossbow. Artemis gets up from ImmaDrizzit’s cover and begins to make her way towards Cell-3, dodging a tail swipe. Alphos begins to open its mouth, its teeth glowing with a blue light. SovietAdidas jumps off the side of the building, carefully climbing to the street where Cell stands. Cell Grabs one of Artemis’ explosive arrows and loads it into the crossbow. Alphos unleashed another colorless beam, evaporating the building. Suddenly an arrow digs into the roof of its mouth. Alphos falls to the ground, staggered and confused. It hears beeping. An explosion is heard within the mouth as one of the dragon’s teeth goes flying out of its mouth. Blood could be seen dripping from its mouth. It shrieks as it starts for the sky, slowly lifting itself up... “We’ve repelled the damn thing...” Says SovietAdidas, standing next to Cell-3. “Yes we have...but at what cost?” Says Cell-3, looking at the building next to him which is nothing but a pile of ashes now.
