“So Finale thinks that he can channel the Rasoul that Vice absorbed out of him…?” Kyle questioned, which received a few eyebrow raises from the Rasoul Embodiments and Trenton. “…I know Finale already detto he could but I was just trying to ask and make sure if he really thinks he can do that o if we really think he can do that…”

“Yes, I really think I can do that as I already detto before,” Finale replied. “But also like I already said, someone is either going to need to fight him down o hold him down o something such as that as I can’t focus while he’s trying to attack me. Now, as we just discussed, I think Mancer should try to hit Vice first as he’s physically the strongest one of us here and should be able to at least physically go toe-to-toe with Vice. After that, I think the rest of us should try to cover Mancer with either physical support o support with Rasoul. Because of that, I think we need to discuss quickly who thinks they can do what and who thinks they can offer the different kinds of support. Who thinks they can do what without absolutely getting smashed da Vice and the wild attacks that are going to be flying in probably every direction around the room?”

“I can lend both physical and Rasoul support if needed,” Trenton said. “I do best with my Rasoul Blade up close in close combat, anyway. That could support both with Rasoul and with physical combat.”

“Wait a minute. If Vice absorbed that Rasoulin Seeker’s Rasoul powers wouldn’t he just be able to absorb whatever kind of Rasoul we threw at him?” Kyle questioned, wearing a look of confusion on his face. “If that’s true, what good will the Rasoul support do if it actually just makes him stronger o più power hungry?”

“Finale has the ability to block a lot of Rasoul powers using his own abilities and high control over Rasoul,” Mancer said. “He could most likely block Vice’s ability to absorb Rasoul energy so we could use those attacks against him. I think the physical attacks are going to be what staggers him the most and what slows him down the most but the Rasoul energy could possibly prove to be a good distraction to use again him.”

“So will the Rasoul only be able to distract him o could we actually do a bit of support damage and a cover fire-like thing da using our powers?” Kyle questioned, tilting his head slightly to the side. “Wouldn’t it be kind of like a long range sniper-type thing o something like that?”

“It could be. That’s why I think whoever thinks that they can’t do the physical attacks should work with their Rasoul and do più of a support thing instead,” Mancer said. “Now are we going to sposta on a bit and ask who’s going to do what? We need to come up with who’s going to attack Vice from which directions and which attacks will be used.”

“We already know who’s going to do the physical attacking unless Kurayami and Kyle decide that they both want to,” Finale detto as he turned his head to look at both Kurayami and Kyle; the former simply shook his head while the latter looked a bit confused.

“What should I do? I don’t know what te need for me to do…” Kyle detto as his ears drooped just slightly. “Do te want me to try to attack physically o do te want me to try to attack with my Rasoul from a distance? All I know I can for-sure do is the Rasoul Projectile thing…”

“Rasoul support would probably be best for you, Kyle,” Mancer detto as he turned his head to look at the yellow and black hedgehog. “Plus, I don’t want te to get hurt, o at least I don’t want te to get hurt any più than te have to. I think te would agree that standing back and using your Rasoul would be the best idea to avoid te getting harmed. Plus, stop and think about it for a moment; te haven’t even recovered from what happened against Vice earlier. te certainly don’t need to be getting hurt più than te already are.”

“Well, I know that I shouldn’t be getting any più hurt than I already am, but… I want to help, te know. I want to help te against Vice and not just leave o not just stand around and do absolutely nothing,” Kyle said.

“What do te want me to do, Mancer?” Trenton asked. “Like I already said, I can do anything but the Rasoul Blade is most likely what I can use better than my other powers.”

“Just go with the Rasoul Blade and the physical attacks. If te need to, stand back and go with the Rasoul attacks from a distance,” Mancer detto with a slight frown. “We don’t need to sit here and drag this conversation in circles with repeating what was already said.” Trenton apologized after Mancer spoke. “Perhaps we can start with-“ Mancer started to speak and say where he thought they could begin to look for Vice, but a sharp knock on the front door stopped him in mid-sentence and caused him and the others to look over towards the door and see who about to come inside. The door opened quite quickly after the knock, revealing that Azarika and the other former Dark cavalli were the ones who had been knocking on the door; Vice was not with them, however.

“Have te figured out what te are going to do yet?” Azarika asked as he walked over to Mancer and the others with his arms behind his back; the people who were in the room before the others walked in responded with quite a bit of surprise, though Kyle also found himself feeling quite nervous when he saw that it was the former Dark cavalli members who walked in.

“Of all the people, I didn’t expect te to be here,” Mancer detto as he raised an eye brow slightly at the Dark Horses.

“Apologies, Echilon sir,” Azarika detto with a slight bow and smirk. “We overheard it all, including te revealing your identities to Kyle. We are here to unisciti against Vice.”

“Are te so sure it’s a good idea to pull them into this?” Mancer asked as he crossed his arms. “I doubt they want to be attacked da Vice again.”

“We already agreed to it,” Astra said, stepping inoltrare, avanti slightly to stand successivo to Azarika. “After Azarika filled us in, well, we agreed to come here and help.”

“I think they should help, Mancer,” Finale detto as he turned his head to look at Mancer, who seemed to be chewing on the corner of his lip. “I certainly think they could do at least a little something. If they can’t physically help out, they could at the very least help with the Rasoul support and the restraining, don’t te think? Plus più people would just be helpful in general as there would be più people to cover each other.”

“But wouldn’t più people just make it easier for Vice to hit us…?” Kyle questioned as he wore a confused look on his face.

“That would apply if we were trying to do a stealth mission,” Mancer said. “More people would risk being exposed, but since we’re not trying to prevent ourselves from being exposed, the extra power would definitely help.”

“Oh… I see…” Kyle detto as he looked down slightly, feeling just a bit embarrassed. “…But… Are… Are te sure that te want to let Azarika and the other Dark cavalli help us…? I mean… I don’t… I don’t mean anything bad against anyone, but are we can trust them, Mancer…?”

“I can tell the mind control over them has broken,” Finale detto as he turned his head to look at Kyle. “Plus, much like Mancer, I know them very well as well so I know how they normally act and I saw briefly how they acted while they were under control. It’s definitely not the same.”

“Do te need to discuss what the others here and I shall be doing o are te going to speak più of which moves and tactics are going to be used against Vice?” Azarika inquired. “I know that I personally can do both physical and Rasoul support much like I heard Trenton say that he can do,” Azarika glanced back at the other former Dark cavalli members. “Now what do te all think that te can do to assist? Rasoul, physical, o both?” Devin replied with saying that he could handle a physical fight, Sniper and Willow both detto that they could cover Rasoul support, and Astra replied saying that she could do both physical support and Rasoul support.

“Alright then, that decides what we’re going to do,” Mancer said. “Now, considering that I don’t want to waste any più time while Vice could be out attacking people right now, I think that we need to go ahead and get moving. Is everyone alright with that?”

“I agree with that. Vice isn’t going to calm down o get back to normal without us doing something. o at least I highly doubt he’s going to come down off of that without us,” Finale said. “Let’s get ready and go s-“

The sound of a group of footsteps interrupted him. Everyone in the room including him quickly turned their heads to see where the sounds were coming from; everyone except Kyle, who seemed confused, seemed to be quite surprised to see that it was a group of Nighless Royal Guards who were approaching very quickly with slightly worried looks on their faces.

“Sirs,” The front Guard, a male, started as he approached Mancer and his two brothers along with the other Royal Guards. “Someone is heading towards the castello as we speak. Whoever they are, they’re wearing a big mantello and they’re bringing what looks like a small army of Rasoulin Seekers towards the castle. We’ve also gotten reports that that same person and that little army have attacked a few people in the city before they headed here.” Mancer turned towards his brothers; Finale appeared to look rather serious and Kurayami looked rather nervous as they both knew who the approaching person most likely was.

“Zyle, organize the Guards and prepare for a battle,” Mancer detto as he turned back to the front Guard, who gave his superior a slight salute. “If needed, try to push back the Seekers and the rest of us here will take on the cloaked figure.”

“Yes, sir,” The Guard named Zyle replied with a nod of his head. He started to turn, but seeing Kyle out of the corner of his eyes caused the Guard to pause slightly and glance back at Kyle, who reacted with confusion. Zyle looked at Kyle for a moment longer before quickly turning towards the other Royal Guards. “You heard what Echilon said, head to the front of the castello and form a defensive wall!” The other Royal Guards all nodded their heads before quickly turning and running off back towards the entrance of a castle; Zyle quickly followed them.

Kyle started to say something about how the Guard turned and looked at him, but he prevented himself from speaking about it. There were much più important things to be thinking about and talking about. “…Is that cloaked figure Vice…?” He asked instead, turning his head to look at Mancer and his brothers.

“I’m più than sure,” Mancer replied with a rather serious tone as he quickly began walking towards the entrance of the castle. “We need to be ready along with the Royal Guards. If any of the Seekers get past them and if Vice gets past them, we need to be ready to fight.” The rest of the group quickly began following Mancer as he moved towards the entrance; just about every single one of them was feeling a bit nervous down inside as they thought about what trying to fight Vice was going to be like. They could also only hope that the Royal Guards would be able to stop at least some of the Rasoulin Seekers; if not, they knew they were in for an extremely tough battle and possibly great injury if they had to take on all of the Rasoulin Seekers and the powered-up Vice at the same time; Kyle in particular was fearing this più than the rest of the group was, though he wasn’t the only one that was worried about how the battle was going to go.


“Hurry! Form a bacheca before we run out of time!” Zyle shouted as he watched other Royal Guards as they quickly dashed around near the entrance of the Rasoulin Castle. He quickly watched as all of the Royal Guards dashed around and began to form a very large crowd in front of the entrance to the castle. He could only hope that they would be enough to stop the force that was approaching.

“Do te think they’ll actually be able to stop him?” Kyle asked Mancer as he slowly turned his head to look at his mentor, who seemed to be getting agitated rather quickly.

“I would say that his body language and facial expression seems to suggest a no,” Azarika noted as he observed Mancer, who quickly changed his emotions to a slightly angered frown.

“I would rather not have to answer domande like that right now and I would prefer to keep my focus on what’s currently happening,” Mancer detto before turning to look at Kurayami and Finale. “Are te two going to be ready for this?”

“I would say that we’re going to try our best,” Finale detto with a nod of his head. Kurayami also nodded his head.

“Alright then, are the rest of te going to be ready?” The red and black Nighless questioned as he turned to look at the rest of the group. They all nodded their heads in response, though Kyle and Sniper seemed rather nervous as well. “Then let’s get ready to fight. I’m not sure how many people that the Royal Guards can hold off.”

The group simply nodded their heads in silence before focusing all over their attention on the entrance of the castello and the Royal Guards. The Royal Guards quickly took defensive stances and began forming Rasoul moves of various kinds once they saw a large amount of people coming towards the castello from the streets. They weren’t going to start attacking just yet in case these weren’t the attackers but they were certainly prepared.

The small army quickly coming towards the castello was indeed revealed to be a group of Rasoulin Seekers who were moving at very quick speeds. One thing Zyle noticed, however, was that the cloaked figure seemed to not be with them, o at least the figure was no longer at the front of the group like he o she was when they had first been spotted approaching the area and the castle.

“Don’t let them into the castle!” Zyle quickly told the other Royal Guards as the Seekers moved closer and closer to the castle. It was only a few small secondi before the Seekers were at the front of the castello and clashing with the Guards.

“Are te sure that they can handle all of those Rasoulin Seekers?” Kyle asked as his ears quickly drooped down before being pulled back da Mancer, who was backing up with the rest of the group.

“I’m going to hope that they can,” Mancer detto before quickly letting go of Kyle. “Get your Rasoul ready.”

“How can te sound so calm about it?!” Kyle asked as his ears drooped down. The black and red Nighless simply shook his head at what the hedgehog had said.

“It’s just part of staying serious and focused,” Mancer replied quickly before turning his attention back to the entrance.

“Did anyone see Vice mostra up with that group of Seekers?” Finale asked as he slowly began to form a golden-colored Rasoul energy around his entire body.

“Wouldn’t he have been somewhere in the group with all of the Seekers if not leading them?” Kurayami questioned, seeming confused da Finale’s question.

“I am assuming that he could have slipped back into the crowd of Rasoulin Seekers to specifically attempt to hide his presence,” Azarika detto as he studied the battling Rasoulin Seekers and Royal Guards. He was attempting to keep his eyes focused on what was happening, alert to any sudden attacks.

Mancer’s ears stood up as he turned his head back towards the crowd, as did Finale and Kurayami. Kyle started to ask what was wrong, but he had little to no time to speak before a cloaked figure moving at a rapid pace suddenly blasted through the crowds of Rasoulin Seekers and Royal Guards.

Everyone quickly jumped backwards out of reflex, scattering around the room as the cloaked figure quickly made his way towards the three Embodiment brothers with a Rasoul Blade quickly forming around his arm. The three Embodiments quickly launched themselves backwards using their Rasoul due to reflex, but the cloaked figure also launched himself towards the three and began swinging his Rasoul Blade at them in an attempt to hit them.

“Watch out!” Kyle yelled the words out without even stopping to think about the fact that the figure had already blasted his way into the building.

“Pay attention! Don’t let him attack the ones playing defense! For the ones who are helping with physical attacks, be careful!” Mancer shouted quickly as he quickly threw up both of his arms in the form of two Rasoul Blades and blocked the swing from the cloaked figure, sending him backwards slightly, though he landed on his feet without falling.

“Is this even Vice?!” Kyle quickly questioned as he moved back a bit, yet still remaining in fighting range.

“If he was right up in your face you’d be able to see his face easily through the hood!” Kurayami replied quickly as he jumped to the side as Vice quickly charged inoltrare, avanti and attempted to swing one of his Rasoul Blades at his stomach.

“Vice, listen to us for a moment!” Mancer quickly detto as he brought his foot up and fired a Rasoul Kick towards Vice, which knocked the former Dark cavalli leader over to the side with a loud hiss. “Can te even pay attention to what’s going on around you?”

“Of course I can. What, did te think I’ve turned into some kind of rabid beast?” Vice asked through clenched teeth, releasing a very loud hiss. “Obviously not. I would be attacking te without hesitation right now if that were the case. I prefer to maintain a healthy amount of strategy in my plans to prevent them from failing like all of the plains that te see failing in the most stereotypical of situations in Film and literature.”

“Then why in the world did te just charge into here without any backup-“ Kurayami started to speak but Vice quickly releasing a loud hiss towards him caused him to stop himself in his sentence.

“…Okay, I can see what was meant when it was detto that Vice went crazy from that Seeker Rasoul!” Finale detto before firing a small blast of Rasoul at Vice in an attempt to shift his attention away from Kurayami who was currently being charged at da Vice.

“How much of that Seeker Rasoul did te even absorb? And where in the world did te get that army of Seekers from?” Finale asked as he quickly bent his body over backwards, narrowly dodging a horizontal swing from Vice’s Rasoul Blade. “It’s become much, much più unstable.”

“Do te honestly think I would tell te that?” Vice asked as he started to swing the Rasoul Blade down towards Finale, but a blast from behind him sent him flying into Finale and sent them both crashing down onto the floor.

“Who did that?!” Azarika detto with a hiss as he glanced back at the former Dark cavalli and Kyle, who all seemed to look around at each other to try to figure out who shot the blast into Vice and knocked him into Finale. “Do not stand around and just look at each other! We have to assist the Embodiments!”

“Stop worrying about who did what and just attack him already!” Trenton detto as he joined the brawl.

“I thought we already discussed how this was going to go!” Finale detto to both of his brothers in a slightly loud tone of voice as he quickly brought his knee up into the former Dark cavalli leader’s stomach almost as soon as he landed on him. The impact sent Vice flying backwards off of Finale, and it also left a wisp of black unstable Rasoul energy on the silver and oro Nighless’ knee where it had struck the former Dark cavalli leader.

Vice quickly flew backwards and landed roughly on the floor, releasing a loud hiss as he immediately returned to his feet. He started to charge towards Finale once again, but Azarika quickly launched himself over Vice using his Rasoul and landed in front of the former Dark cavalli leader. “Out of the way, experiment hybrid,” Vice hissed under his teeth, which caused Azarika to cringe.

"I will not step aside and allow te to attack them,” Azarika swung his foot at the former Dark cavalli leader.

Vice quickly ducked under Azarika’s leg and glanced behind him just in enough time to see a Rasoul blast from Kyle coming straight for him. The Dark cavalli leader quickly yanked his head to the side before the blast could hit and let it fly into Azarika instead, which sent the Nighless volpe stumbling backwards while off-balance. Vice quickly used the small amount of time that he had gained to quickly sposta towards Kyle in a blast of silver Rasoul energy, preparing to bring his silver Rasoul Blade down on the yellow and black hedgehog before he even had much time to react to the former Dark cavalli leader getting over to him so quickly.

However, before Vice was able to bring his Rasoul Blade down and strike Kyle, Mancer quickly moved towards Kyle and the former Dark cavalli leader before sending a blast of red Rasoul energy towards the two. The red Rasoul quickly went underneath Vice’s Rasoul Blade and hardened in mid-air, which caused the former Dark cavalli leader’s arm and Rasoul Blade to collide with the hardened Rasoul and bounce backwards, sending the former leader into a backwards stumble.

“Vice! te keep your fight with us and leave the others alone!” Mancer called out through a slight hiss as he quickly manipulated the Frozen red Rasoul energy to jump back towards Vice to strike him. Vice stumbled back, allowing Mancer to sposta in front of the fomer Dark cavalli leader before raising his foot and sending a blast of Rasoul into his stomach, knocking Vice backwards at a rather fast speed.

Everyone in the room quickly prepared to try and attack Vice again, but Vice seemed to have other plans as he started to shift his focus to the entrance of the castle. Trenton tried to take advantage of this, but the former Dark cavalli leader paid close enough attention to quickly raise his Rasoul Blade arm up and diviso, spalato the Rasoul blast into pieces, sending the pieces flying towards everyone in the room, which caused everyone to have to either anatra o jump out of the way to avoid being hit.

“What is he even looking at-“ Kyle, but the sound of loud hissing combined with a very large group of Rasoul Projectiles shooting into the room quickly stopped him in his sentence as he was forced to drop flat on the floor to avoid the blasts.

“What in the world is that?!” Astra questioned as she also dropped onto the floor to dodge the blasts that quickly came flying over her and flying where she would have just been standing if she hadn’t dropped onto the floor. “That was too many Projectiles for it to be one person’s attack!”

“I don’t think it was one person!” Willow informed. At the entrance, whatever guards had not fallen were being overtaken da the Seeker army. “Echilon! The Seekers are already getting into the castle!”

“Already?! What are the Guards doing?!” Mancer questioned as he quickly turned his attention to the entrance in just enough time to see più and più Seekers quickly pouring into the castello and heading in their direction. He barely had enough time to see Vice quickly taking off into the crowd of invading Seekers, quickly becoming Lost in the crowd.

“Forget about that for a few moments!” Finale detto as he quickly began forming Rasoul. “Did anyone see where Vice went in the crowd?! Can te anyone see him now?!”

No one could spot Vice, and before anyone was able to look around for the former Dark cavalli leader, the Rasoulin Seekers quickly flooded the area where everyone else was standing. Some of the Seekers quickly dashed around the room and fired a few attacks towards the group while other Seekers formed Rasoul Blades and other attacks before charging towards different members in the group in a form of a frontal assault.

“What did Vice do to all of these Seekers to make them want to attack like rabid beasts?!” Devin asked as he shot a few blasts of Rasoul towards Seekers who were trying to charge towards him and attack with Rasoul Blades. This proved unsuccessful for Devin, however, when the Seekers simply absorbed the Rasoul that they were hit with and continued towards the former Dark cavalli bat. Devin was forced to fall back.

“All I know is they’re attacking!” Mancer tossed back as he released a hiss and sent a large Rasoul Kick sweep of red towards a large group of approaching Rasoulin Seekers. The Seekers didn’t have enough time to react to the fast moving kick and were hit da the Rasoul, sending them flying back. They braced their fall with their wings, and fell to the ground gently.

“Why are some of them running around?! Are they looking for something here?!” Kyle questioned as his ears drooped down at the sight of some Seekers running about the place o attempting to strike and run away.

“To me it seems as if they are trying to provide a distraction!” Azarika quickly detto as he swung his own Rasoul Blade backwards and struck a Rasoulin Seeker who was attempting to sneak up behind him, sending the vampire Nighless flying backwards and into another Seeker who was attempting to dash towards one of the other former Dark cavalli members.

“To cover where Vice went, perhaps?” Astra suggested.

“Hey, guys?! I can’t take them all on da myself!” Kurayami quickly called out, wearing a quite stressed look on his face as he spun around in a cerchio with his blue Rasoul Blades. The blades struck a few surrounding Seekers, but they simply swung around and charged after him again.

Finale dashed over towards his brother, but before he could get to Kurayami Vice emerged from the flurry of Seekers moving about in the room and quickly slammed a silver Rasoul Blade into Finale’s stomach, sending him flying back across the room with a yell and slamming into the wall.

“Finale, are te okay?!” Mancer quickly called, looking over at Finale, who had already dropped onto his feet, though he looked rather dizzy.

Finale grunted a nod while being forced to lean back against a bacheca to avoid falling due to the dizzy feeling he had obtained da his head hitting the bacheca when he had been knocked into it. “Don’t let those Seekers overrun Kurayami and don’t let Vice get to him! I’ll try to watch out for everyone else!” He added quickly as he began swinging his Rasoul Blades at some Seekers.

“Kurayami, don’t let them overpower you!” Mancer detto as he quickly began trying to make his way over Kurayami.

“Do te think I’m trying to let them?!” Kurayami yelled back to Mancer as he fired a pulse of his blue Rasoul, blasting a nearby Seeker skyward. This proved useless as Seekers just kept swarming towards him to replace the ones that were getting knocked away. “I can’t fuoco my attacks fast enough to deal with all of them! HELP!”

Kyle tried to sposta inoltrare, avanti towards Kurayami, but a few Seekers interrupted him, swinging madly at him with their blades. The yellow and black hedgehog jumped back, releasing a yell while firing back at them. The Seekers were hit da the Rasoul but only stumbled back from the slightly weak power and proceeded to charge at Kyle again, but Trenton quickly moved away and hit them with a Rasoul Blade to send them backwards. “You can’t get to him, Kyle! We’re going to have to leave it to Mancer!” Kyle didn’t want to just give up on trying to help Kurayami, but he saw no way through the barricade of Vampire-Nighless.

“Get out of my way!” Mancer hissed loudly through his teeth as he swung his Rasoul Blades in front of him as he ran, slamming Seekers to the sides left and right.

Kurayami stressfully pulled together enough Rasoul to blast the Seekers further away with the same precedente results. He had just enough time to notice Mancer flying towards him. “Echilon! te can’t use that without using up all of your Rasoul-“ Before Kurayami could finish, a familiar silver Rasoul Blade quickly slammed into his head from behind and knocked him to the ground.

“Vice! te leave him alone!” Mancer yelled with a hiss as he quickly flew towards his two brothers. The black and red Nighless continued blasting his way through the Seekers until he quickly came to where his two brothers were and tried to transfer what red Rasoul was left to his arm to form a Rasoul Blade. He cringed slightly as he noticed that the Rasoul Blade wasn’t able to take full shape because of all of the Rasoul that he had used up in the flight but he still had enough of a Blade left to swing it downward at Vice as he came falling down towards his two brothers.

Vice quickly noticed Mancer as he was coming down and quickly swung his own silver Rasoul Blade upward, which clashed with Mancer’s half-finished Blade and sent him flying to the side slightly from the impact. Kurayami quickly recovered from his head-bashing, but the former Dark cavalli leader quickly stopped his foot down on his black and blue brother’s back, pressing him to the floor.

“That was an awful move, Echilon!” Vice taunted. “You may have gotten over to Kurayami but now you’ve used up most if not all your Rasoul!” He began forming silver Rasoul around his non-Bladed hand, which quickly began to look like a kind of silver web that was wrapped around fingers.

“I don’t need my Rasoul to be able to fight!” Mancer detto through a hiss as he quickly punched his arms backwards, knocking two approaching Seekers away. Mancer charged inoltrare, avanti at Vice as he pulled his fist back, determined to get the former Dark cavalli leader away from Kurayami. This plan, however, quickly failed as Vice moved his web-covered hand towards Mancer and fired a large web-like blast of his silver Rasoul, which quickly slammed into Mancer and wrapped around his entire body, causing the black and red Nighless to fall inoltrare, avanti and crash down onto the floor, unable to sposta other than squirming. “Vice!”

“See, I told te that te used up too much of your Rasoul,” Vice taunted with a smirk, ignoring Mancer’s screaming. “Now te don’t even have enough to cut this trap of mine.” Vice moved away from Kurayami and picked up Mancer. He quickly pulled his arms back and threw the web-covered Mancer as hard as he could, sending him flying towards the bacheca at the back of the room where Finale was with the rest of the group before turning back to Kurayami, firing a web at him as well.

While the Dark Horses, Kyle, Trenton, and Finale, continued their battle with the Seekers, Kyle and Trenton looked up upon seeing a glimpse of silver at the superiore, in alto of their eyes, and quickly widened their eyes upon noticing that it was Mancer trapped in that web.

“Finale! Look up!” Trenton yelled with a wide-eyed expression. Finale quickly looked upward and noticed Mancer before widening his eyes as well.

“Echilon, what happened?!” Finale quickly asked as he blasted himself upwards and into Mancer’s path. Mancer quickly slammed into Finale as he braced himself to catch his brother, which caused a loud yell from both brothers as the impact speed sent Finale flying backwards into the wall.

“Are te both okay?!” Kyle questioned with wide eyes as he looked up in enough time to see the two colliding with the bacheca and then falling back down towards the ground. Finale nodded his head with a slightly pained facial expression as he let himself fall and land on his feet with the web-covered Mancer in his hands. “What happened to Mancer?!”

“Don’t freak out, I’m fine,” Mancer quickly responded as he squirmed once more, trying his best to break out of the silver web, but to no avail. “Those Seekers AND Vice are all attacking Kurayami!”

“Echilon, I can’t cut te out of this while we’re right in the middle of this mess,” Finale informed.

“Echilon, Finale, what do te suggest we do? We cannot hold the Rasoulin Seekers off forever and we may all wind up being overtaken da them just like Kurayami at this rate,” Azarika detto as he took a deep breath and continued firing his Rasoul at the waves of Seekers. “We cannot hope to help Kurayami if we all get captured.”

“But we can’t just leave him, Azarika! That’s Mancer and Finale’s brother!” Kyle detto as his tone of voice began to go to a higher pitch as he began to become più upset.

“But he has a good point, Kyle,” Finale replied. “Even if I don’t want to think about leaving Kurayami, we can’t take on all of these Seekers. We’ve being completely outnumbered and I don’t want to drag te especially into something like this,” He looked over towards the entrance of the castle. “The entrance can be reached if a path is made.”

Mancer was quite disapproving of this idea, but at the same time he could not risk anyone else being captured da Vice. He slowly frowned while releasing a hiss through his teeth as this realization came to his head. “Fine, let’s just get out of here. I only hope that Kurayami will understand.”

Kyle would have normally protested further against the idea of leaving Kurayami, but he knew their minds were made up. The former Dark cavalli members all realized this as well and quickly turned their attention towards the Seekers near the entrance and began shooting Rasoul towards them, slowly beginning to clear out a path.

Once the path was cleared, Finale quickly began charging inoltrare, avanti with Mancer still in his arms, quickly dashing through the gap. The two brothers glanced behind them towards where Kurayami was as they made their way towards the entrance; the black and blue Nighless was able to notice them… but they were out before any acknowledgement could be made.

“Sirs! Where are te going?!” Zyle quickly called out to Finale and Mancer as he saw the group come out of the entrance. The Nighless Royal Guard captain was currently sitting against the wall, holding his side tightly where he had rather large claw marks from the fight with the Seekers.

“Zyle, the castello is being overrun and we’re being forced to leave to be able to regroup and plan,” Finale answered quickly as he turned his head to look at Zyle. “We can’t stay here if we want to die. Get medical attention as quickly as te possibly can and gather up the wounded Royal Guards to get them medical attention as well. Do the best that te can, and try not to get killed.” Zyle simply nodded and responded before quickly pulling himself up to his feet.

“How are we supposed to get to a sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza area with all of this going on?!” Kyle questioned. “Won’t the Seekers just follow us?!”

“That is exactly why I’m getting us out of here QUICKLY,” Finale responded before forming a Rasoul Cloud, raising them all off of the ground. “Everybody hang on,” He ordered before the group sped off.
