The lone figure was slowly being pushed back by the assualt, though he didn't shift his stance at all. The flurry of energy waves washed over him, but a large maelstrom of energy was gathering inbetween them. Suddenly the center energy ball exploded, sending huge gouts of dust and lethal energy waves flying outward.
Once the dust from the brutal attack was clearing it was evident that the dark armored figure was gone, along with the four other men. Rubble lay strewn across the street and the skyscraper was heavily damaged, thanks to Rua's attack.
However, a dark figure stepped out from the clearing dust, two demonic shortswords held out to his sides and red eyes glowing brightly through the shroud. The man stepped over some rubble and stopped a few feet short of Rua and stared, glancing at Alasea before glancing about.
"It looks like you beat me here.. but what happened?"

Rua was sprawled across the rubble, cradling an unconscious Alasea in his arms. He coughed violently, trying to get all the dust out. He slowly opened his eyes, and for a cruel moment, he thought he saw Daemonus amongst the clouds of dust. His vision cleared, however, and he saw Kalmar approaching him.
"Ugh," he grunted, sitting up slightly, still holding onto Alasea. "I got attacked by an old friend of ours. I'm sure you remember Daemonus."
And with that statement, he explained what happened.

Kalmar nodded and listened patiently as Rua explained what had happened, keeping quiet any small questions he might have asked.
After Rua was done he nodded grimly once, "I remember him. At least you and your girlfriend are alright." Kalmar's voice was calm and level as he spoke, showing no surprise at the alarming chain of events that had taken place.

"Yeah," Rua nodded, "I don't like that this happened at all. What in the world could've caused them to become so powerful?"
Alasea stirred in his arms. "Mmm... R.D....?"
After a few moments, Alasea was back on her feet. "I can't believe this... I thought Daemonus was destroyed!" she said, "I know I wasn't around Shayol Ghul when it happened, but I remember feeling him die!"
The girl sighed and looked around. Something caught her eye. Walking up to it, she saw that it was a strange sword. It seemed dull and lifeless, but when she picked it up, she could see a spark of green within its depths. "Hey guys, what's this?" she said, bringing the sword over to them.

"Daemonus was destroyed, I am sure of that, but if you say that he was here then I believe you. The only question is.. how?"
When Alasea grabbed the strange sword out in the middle of the battleground, he walked forward to it and examined it.
"I'm not sure.. RD. Have you seen this before?" Kalmar turned to the amnesiac teen and looked at him questioningly.

Rua frowned. "Yeah," he said, "Velken tried to stick me with it. Hold on to that, Alli. Let's get the hell out of here."
Alasea nodded and put the weapon in her inventory.

====The Next Day====
Kalmar swung his greatsword powerfully, cleaving the mutant in half mid-air. He ducked under the two pieces and impaled another, drawing his blade out before decapitating the being.
"Rua!" He shouted over the din of battle, having lost sight of the teen during the fray.

Using the Annihilating Second Bullet, Rua crushed a group of enemies inhabiting an old combat trailer, most likely left by the local military. Only one shot left, he thought decisively as he pushed himself off of the dented side of the vehicle with his fist. He landed and pivoted a couple times, only to get attacked again.
Using his shield to block, Rua quickly dispatched the enemy with a Phase Blade and ignited the thrusters in his boots. He shot forward, rocket-skating into a group of enemies and shredding them apart with his weapons.
The beta tester slid over next to Kalmar. "Numbers are running low," he said shortly, blasting another group of dark soldiers using a Disrupter shot, "Been a fast morning, it seems. Probably an hour or so before we repel this particular force."
===At the Government Building===
Alasea was working on a computer with a number of other personnel, which were mostly volunteers from the survivors. On her back, the Emerald Sword glowed brightly, its health renewed by the positive energy within the Daughter of Light.
"I hope R.D.'ll be okay," she muttered, "Especially with those four hiding out there somewhere."
A beeping on the main computer caught her attention. Walking over to it, she read the data that began appearing on the screen.
"What in the world? Four unknown objects coming in from the sky?" she said in bewilderment. "Wow, that level of power... I haven't seen that level of energy since... the beta."
Alasea went about warning the people. I've got to tell R.D. and Kalmar. They need to know about this.

Kalmar smiled grimly as he gathered an orb of corrupted fire and shot it at a dark soldier, causing the thing to crumple to ash. "This is entertaining, Rising. Don't you remember the Beta?"
The Demon Hunter ducked under a close blow, quickly sending his greatsword through the legs of the offending mutant. It's screams were quickly silenced as the blade split the asphalt beneath it's head. Kalmar's sword vanished as he summoned his scythe moments before hurling it into a group of enemies, which was quickly followed by a few corrupted energy orbs.

"I try not to," Rua replied, his blades flashing through another group of monsters, "And stop calling me that."
The battle continued on through the morning, with Rua and Kalmar slaughtering the monsters that approached, with the various other players and defenders destroying anything that got past them.
When the battle was completed, the defenders retreated inside, ready to receive a much longed-for and desired meal.

Kalmar grabbed his breakfast and stepped out of line, eyeing the mass of survivors for a place to eat in peace. He spotted RD sitting on a wall by himself and walked over casually, avoiding contact with a few rushing NPC's.
"Good Morning, Rising," he said with a smirk as he sat next to the man, still eyeing the crowd. "Where's Alasea?" he asked suddenly, realizing the woman was nowhere near the trainwreck he sat by now.

Alasea wandered darkened halls underneath the city, transfixed. During the battle, something had caught her eye on one of the computers--a person entering a destroyed building--and she went to investigate. Only, she wound up getting trapped, and then lost. As so, she had her Phase Blade and the Emerald Sword drawn, looking around for a way out.
===Outside===
"Don't call me that," Rua said in a conversational tone, casually eating his food, "And I'm not sure. She's been working hard on those computers in there. Probably still there."

Kalmar chuckled, "A smart woman, to stay out of this bloodshed. Not to say she wouldn't join, mind you, but the battlefield is no place for the weak." He gave Rua a sidelong glance and went back to eating his breakfast, pausing occasionally to glance around.

"Kalmar, any of the Daughters of Dawn could've schooled your ass in Epsilon," R.D. said in return, "And from what I heard, one of them did. Besides, she's a Daughter of Light. She'll be stronger than both of us soon."

Kalmar nodded grimly, "True, but I still believe that woman should not witness the horrors of war." The crowd around them seemed more subdued as the majority had been served and were eating their breakfasts. Many of them wore expressions of joy at being alive, while others faces appeared to be made out of stone.
