The masked man unfortunately saw that he would at least take some damage and attempted to minimize it. He slid backwards slightly so that Rua's hit him, but Alasea's would miss. He grunted as he slid back from the force of the attack and looked up.
"Well, well, you're not bad. Walker, Texas ranger over there could use some target practice and the girl just isn't strong enough, but you seem to keep up. Well, for now that is..."
He had to take one of them out of play for now to make his goals acheivable. The only option was to use any hidden mana on Darklighter and activate the explosion from Hell's Wrath. Even this wouldn't be a guaranteed fatality, but it would sure pack a wallop on top of the slash. He glanced over at Darklighter squinting slightly to see if the slash wounds were still there and hadn't been healed, then decided it was time for action, "You know that slash attack you took earlier...well, I know something you don't..."
He reached his hand out and made a fist as he commanded any mana left from the attack that remained on Darklighter to combust outward in a firey explosive ball that would shoot out of any wounds, causing a high amount of damage. Following this, he turned his attention back to Rua and Alasea.

The masked man dodged Darklighter's stealth attack, and attacked him with some form of magic. Darklighter fell a few feet in front of him, dazed. He looked up at the man, mouth wide open.
"REM 1? They got you to work? I thought it was impossible... Wow. Did they ever fix that defensive problem? You know, REM 2 did a much better job than you. Oh, right, that's why you deleted yourself. Or at least tried. You failed at that too? Oh well. First attempts never work well." Darklighter felt a massive surge of energy exit his right arm, where he was cut. "DAMMIT. So that's what that feels like. So many chances for learning here, right? Oh Hell, there goes some more blood. If Ferus and two others couldn't kill me, what makes you think you can?" Darklighter pulled out his .45 and aimed for Darkseid's heart. Darklighter saw the man's movements and aimed where the man would be, and then where he was. Darklighter felt another bust of energy erupt from his arm.
"REM 1, if you kill me, I go strait to urzu squad. I'll bet they would really like me over at Massive Dynamic. Hahaha. Today is a good day to die. Guess you will get deleted, huh? Once I get to Massive Dynamic, they will hunt you down faster than you can blink." Darklighter squeezed the trigger again, aiming at the man's head. He knew his only shot was to be stealthy. Darklighter rolled away and crawled over to Alasea, hoping she would heal him before Darkseid attacked again.

Immediately, Alasea set to work, using the Healing Palm technique to heal the wounds, which would negate the energies left behind. With her free hand, she handed Darklighter an onset of healing potions to help with the recovery process. "Take it easy, we're gonna get you out of here," she said calmly as she healed Darklighter. "You're pretty tough, you know?"
Meanwhile, Rua lowered his free hand and looked at the masked man, or "REM 1" as Darklighter called him... he must've recognized him. "REM 1, eh?" he said, standing up straight. "Well, let's get this over with. I don't know you, but you sure as hell don't know me. But you're about to learn."
Rua began to grin as he drew his second Phase Blade while deactivating the first. Crossing them over between the crystals, he made a scissoring motion with them as he activated them both at the same time, causing the blade to grow much, much larger. He swung the Phase Scythe around in a circle before letting the flat of its blade come to rest on his shoulder. Rua held up his left hand and made a mocking, "Come on!" gesture at REM 1.
"I'll show you just what it means to rouse the Dragon."

The Masked Man began to chuckle loudly as he heard Darklighter try to piece things together, "Massive Dynamic can't touch me now, i'm not theirs anymore. Your threats are empty boy, they're long gone, and Urzu squad? Bah, that fool Jin couldn't catch a cold, and even if he did get near me, i'd kill him before he got the chance."
He paused for a minute before adding on, "Oh, and by the way, I know you don't know me if all you're reading is that file. Try this one, name's Darkseid."
He turned to Rua and laughed even louder, "You know, i'm a little surprised. The annoying one and the girl are both out of it, but you don't seem to go down as easy. Oh and by the way,I know everything about you. Rua Dragonheart, age 19, of the United Stated. Former Beta Tester who became the host of Lumiya, hated by the staff, even more so now. Amnesiac who recovered his memories and was resistant to return to the game. Often regarded as the most dangerous of the beta testers along with Kite and Kalmar Uvereth. How does it feel to be hunted, or how does it feel to know that you're the reason this world is mine?" \

"Just because you know my data doesn't mean you know just who I am," Rua retorted, readying his weapon for combat, despite hearing the sounds of Knightmare Frames.
Pushing off, Rua charged, attacking rapidly with the giant Phase Scythe, the weapon blurring through the air he swung it at Darkseid.

"Oh so stupid..." Darkseid said as he backstepped to dodge the scythe, then gathered darkness to his hands again, "Demon's blow!"
He yet again clasped the hands in front of his mouth and blew on the energy, with the resulting reaction shooting out rapidly at Rua in such a close range. He then looked up with a slightly cocky grin.
"You going to fight me and get caught by the Knightmares, or run, because right now you're the stupidest man alive for fighting this battle."

The air wavered in front of Rua as Darkseid began his attack, forming something circular and nearly invisible in front of him. The Devil's Blow smashed into the barrier, and the energies of darkness and the raw energy from his special abilities were absorbed into the shield, causing it to change into a reddish-black color. Rua grit his teeth in pain as some of the energy managed to get through the defense and burn him, but he shrugged it off as the Phase Scythe swung up right through the shield.
"Have a taste of your own medicine!" Rua growled as the weapon went up through the shield.
The energy gathered into the shield was absorbed by the giant sword's crystalline blade, coating it. As the sword reached the height of its swing, Rua slashed down with it in the same manner, flinging the energy out in a single blast wave. The Lament Reversal tore through the air at Darkseid in the same close range, the attack gaining the full strength and properties of the Devil's Blow.

Darklighter felt the healing magic surge through his body. "Alasea, your an angel. Not one of those I mean." He leaned up and whispered in her ear. "REM 1 has ego issues. And I can stir up trouble pretty well..." Darklighter rolled over and crawled over to a large pine tree. "REM 1, you know, they fixed up REM 2. He is superior to you in every way." Darklighter crept to another tree. "You are a failure in every way. You couldn't even delete your self right." Darklighter moved to a bush and spoke again. "REM 2 would have so much fun with you. You two would really hit it off. Perhaps meet up in the real world. Oh, that's right. You aren't real. You are just a string of coding, telling my brain that you are standing there. You are an illusion. Nothing more. Darklighter recovered Vulcan's gun and reloaded it. He pulled his silenced .45 out and readied it. Darklighter aimed at Darkseid, and fired again. Darklighter moved over to small trench in the ground. Hmmm, I wonder why this is here. Oh well. He saw that trench went underground, underneath Darksied. Darklighter followed it until he was roughly under The masked man. He started to dig upwards.

Darkseid shuddered as the energy wave hit him causing a decent amount of damage and rather large wound on his right shoulder. He hissed at the burning sensation it left.
I just need to stall him a little longer, then Jin unwittingly plays patsy and everything goes my way, just don't give in to it, if you do, things could go wrong...
He sidestepped the shot and then turned to Darklighter and began to laugh, "You think that it's a good idea to get me angry, boy? If I did that to you with one of my lighter attacks imagine what I could do if I wasn't just stalling you."
He decided to let that last bit slip out as the knightmares could yet again be heard in the distance, "Take a good look at yourselves. You're all exhausted; I could keep this up for hours. You can't run away anymore; you don't have the strength. I on the other hand, do."
Darkseid quickly sprinted off into the woods in the direction of the sound opposite of the knightmares.
That was too close. I almost lost control. Dragonheart's as good as gone now, unless he can escape, which would be a miracle. And even after that, the staff are still hunting him like a rabid dog. One of the admins will catch up with him. Preferrably the Chief or Hiwatari. Once that happens, he's iced, and I win.
The sound of knightmares in the woods grew closer to Rua, Darklighter, and Alasea. From the sound there were multiple frames, which would definitely cause problems for the three trying to escape.

"Damn," Rua swore as Darkseid made a break for it. He deactivated the Phase Scythe and broke it back down to the two original Phase Blades, sheathing them in his hip scabbards for them. Luckily, Darkseid was wrong about their condition: while Darklighter was injured, he and Alasea were still fine and had most of their stamina intact. They had logged off the night before, when the order had happened, after all.
But now there were Knightmares coming along. And they'd be no match for them... unless... well, they'd have to wait and see if that were possible. Rua ran over to Alasea. "We've got to get moving," he said. "We can use Chaos Control to get out of here quickly; I don't think Darkseid realized that I have a fake Chaos Emerald on me."
"Good idea," she said, making her way to Darklighter. "Go get ready to make the jump. I need to finish healing Darklighter."

Darklighter emerged from the tunnel, laughing. "HAHAHAHA. I knew hitting his ego would work. When your opponent is tougher than you, kill his mind. Now, Rua, you are too tired to move. Take this." Darklighter unstrapped the PEHD and handed it to Rua. "I'm sending you to a small town about 95 miles from here. 'Razortooth." Good fighters train there,and you will be able to disguise yourself. And once you get there, take the PEHD off and hide it, but please don't loose it. And Don't blow your arm off please. We will catch up to you. Darklighter entered the teleport code as he passed it to Rua. "Don't argue with me. We can't loose you. Darklighter turned to Alasea and said, "Well, we'd better get moving if we want to catch up with your boyfriend. Let's move." Darklighter pulled out his silenced .45 and started running away from the noises in the trees.

"If you say so," Rua said, taking the PEHD. "You sure, though? I can get us at least out of the forest with a jump from Chaos Control."
"Maybe you should go anyway, R.D.," Alasea said. "I'm not on their wanted list. Just lend me the Thunder King so we can get out of here quickly."
"Alright," he said, fishing the cube out of his inventory. He handed it to Alasea. "Be careful."
Rua activated the teleporter, and he felt himself start to compress down to individual molecules. Oooh, tingly, he thought without much alarm. Hope this is safe. Darkness overtook him, and then light, and then he was gone.
Alasea sighed, then turned towards Darklighter, running after him with long strides--she thanked god she was athletic and a swimmer. "We've got to get to the edge of the forest," she said between breaths as she ran. "We can use Rua's bike once we get out of this mess."

Darklighter watched Rua disappear in a yellow cone of light. He turned over to Alasea. "Don't worry, it's safe. And he won't be able to do anything bad with it once he gets to Razortooth. It will be out of batteries, and have the only cable in the world. Now, what's that about a bike? I see no bike."
Darklighter moved towards an old log in the woods. "Me and a friend of mine built a series of underground trails. All hush-hush stuff. How big is the bike? We can use the trails to get to Razortooth in about 20 hours on foot. And that's if you run the whole way. Come on, into the hole. It's just a bit dark."
Darklighter hit the log three times with the but of his knife, then stuck his smooth coin in the hole that appeared. A large trail opened up in rock near by. "Come. Once your inside I'll close it. The Knightmares will never find us." Darklighter stood looking at Alasea, waiting for a response.

"The cube he just gave me is the bike," Alasea explained when Darklighter asked. "Its an old gift from the Beta Test, the cube turns into the bike and vice versa."
She slowed to a stop as they reached the log, and Alasea took a few deep breaths. "Well, its not very small, but its not all that large, either. It shouldn't have any problems with any trails," she explained, and approached the hole as it opened. She climbed in without much hesitation.

(OOC: RD, please don't do anything to radical to the town of Razortooth, I have plans for it.) Darklighter watched the small cube expand into a full-sized motorcycle. "OK. Cool. Let's go." Darklighter climbed aboard the bike and looked at Alasea. "How fast can this thing go? By now Rua is in Razortooth, and we'd better get there before something happens." Darklighter thought about what would happen if Rua found the weapons lab, or even worse, the person he set to guard it. His thoughts drifted to Vulcan, his old ally. Traitor. I help him, and he tries to shoot me. I gave him a home, and he fights me. I hope this will turn out better. Darklighter stared at the dark tunnel looming ahead. "Want me to drive? It's dark, and the tunnel isn't always straight."
