*Ark and the man were in a duel, they both had the same strength, but the man had an advantage, he could phase through Ark's attacks and then counter them. The duel went on for awhile, but Ark turned to smoke and did a sneak attack behind the man, then Ark picked the man up, "who are you and what is your connection with Deity!!" Ark demmanded, Ark was getting angry, but before the man could speak, Ark's hands started to glow black, and the black aura surrounded the man, the man yelled in pain, then he collapesed to the ground, then teh man's soul came out of his body, and Ark absorbed it unwillingly. (Ark just killed and stole the man's power, like Deity did to Ark and Eddie)
The soul had gave Ark a power boost, he went to go lean on a tree but fell right through it, "did i just steal his power?" Ark asked himself.*
~boy, he sures teleports home and comes back alot. anyways...~
~to deity: sorry about that...lol~
Once the gargoyles head had been severed and rolled to the ground, Zanther quickly surveyed the battle grounds and noticed that these creatures were slowly seperating the group from each other. In ways to gang up on one single member and take them down, while the others wouldn't be as close be to be of much aide.
Ark still confused about walking through a tree, and this new power to drain, desided to go back to the group and see what happened while he was gone, Ark flew towards the direction of Zanther, because his mind seemed to be clear and not cluttered with confusion, Ark phased through some trees on the way there to try and controll his power, he finnaly reached the group, and he saw they were in battle, Ark flew down next to Zanther, "what are these thing?" Ark asked
Since his recent pair of tojos were heavily drenched in blood and individual blades were beginning to break off or bend in strange directions, Zanther tossed them aside and drew out two twin samurai swords from sheeths near his hips. He held them like a lance and charged at two large gargoyles and blunged the tip of the blade deep into their necks until it reached the other side, "Gargoyles are known to be stubborn fighters and their skin is quite leathery, so it would take a few preciece stabs in the sensitive joint areas in order to take them down. If you want to kill one, just stab them through the head, neck, or chest, where the heart is!" yelled back the vampire between launches and blunges. "They haven't shown any signs of mutengenic powers yet...but it seems like they're holding back on us!" With that said, and using his left arm, he took one smooth level swiping motion, and decaptitated another beast. Immortal strength made it easy to cut off one's head with only one arm or swipe.
Ark put one daggar away, then another gargoyle dived at him, Ark put his hand infront of him, and phased throgh the gargoyle, in the hand Ark held up was the gargoyle's heart, Ark had grabbed it as he phased through the beast, Ark threw down the heart and took out his other daggar again and started slicing away
There were a few quadrumped gargoyles in the heard, a selected few came charging at Ark and Zanther. Their claws and many rows of razor sharp teeth began to grow, much like a vampires in manner. The vampire held his twin swords at the ready, when the one aiming for him got too close, he ramed the tip of his sword between the gapping jaws and right up through the roof of it's mouth so that it punctured the brain and on through the soft skull.
Ark put away both his daggars, as one charged at him, Ark jumped onto its back, Ark's hands glowed black, Ark put his hands onto the beast, and it soon was surrounded by a black aura, the beast fell over screaming, then died, Ark stod up, his teeth started to grow, like the beast's did, sharp claws ripped through the tips of Ark's gloves, "time to fight fire with fire" Ark said, as he charged towards a gargoyle and slashed it with his claws
The gargoyles with the huge wingspans had a different sort of aura surrounding them, from what Zanther would sense upon the aire. He began to make his way near one that was close by, to test it's strength and powers. As soon as the vampire was in range, the slender head of one turned on him and spewed a fine icy mist from it's mouth. Zanther dodged to the side from the blast, so that that the frost caused a layer of ice to appear upon the forest floor from which it landed.
Ark saw what the gargoyle did and yelled to Zanther, "i freeze, you smash" Ark tryed to spew the mist but it wouldn't come out, and that gave time for a gargoyle to tackle Ark to the ground and bite him, on the shoulder, Ark yelled in pain, the he phased through the beast and sliced through its insides, then the pain was stronger, and Ark collapsed
Zanther ran over to Ark's side and got into a defensive position, to protect him from oncoming attacks until the man was ready to fight again. "How are you holding up?" he asked over his shoulder as another icy blast whipped by them, clearing missing them. Seeing as this situation was getting serious, with the gargoyles having different powers according to their body structure, Zanther decided that he must resort to his more powerful attacks than just using metallic weapons to defend himself with.
Ark was getting angry, he stood up, "im fine" he replied to Zanther, Ark's eyes turned completely black, his claws grew longer, and he created a black plasma blast, that shot three gargoyles, then he started walking towards any beast he could find, phasing through all their attack, and stabbing their heart with his claws
While Ark blew his fair share of gargoyles with his dark plasma attacks, Zanther removed his arm length gloves and took off his trench coat and tossing it aside for now. Now, revealing bare arms and wearing a dark tank top, it would be deadly for anyone to make contact with this vampire's poisionious skin. The daywalker charged up the side of a trunk and leaped off over to the back of a flying gargoyle. Zanther placed his hands over the creature's skull and began to drain the life force and energy out of it. The gargoyle began to wobble and whine with agony during the process, allowing the vampire access into it's mind and energy. Soon, the creature collapesed, out cold, dead upon it's belly. Zanther slid along it's spine until his feet touched the ground. Anyone from the group, could easily see that his eye's had begun to glow moltenin silver like the gargoyles eyes, from absorbing it's energy, life force.
~could we plz hurry up and end this battle~
Ark was still on a killing spree, when his whole body glowed black, the ground where he stood, begun to collapes, a big blast of plasma came from Ark into the direction of where he was facing, it was destroying anything in its path, he slowly moved the blast around trying to kill every beast in his path
