"Yeah." she agreed. "For now."

He shook his head. "From what I heard, they will be gone for a while."

"?"

"It seems Salomon has left the castle. And now they're on a search for him."

"Well, shouldn't we go after him?" she asked. "I mean - afterall that's what you're here for, right?"

He shook his head once again. "My main reason in coming here was for you, Sarah."

"But your second reason is to kill Salomon."

He nodded his head. "Yes, only because that man must be purged for the sake of all the people of this world."

"Is he truly that evil?"

"Yes. What he intends to do with the God's Blood Elixir is unacceptable."

Sarah grabs Janak's left arm. "Then let's go!" she tries running, but Janak stops her. She glances at him. "What's the matter? I'm safe so we should go after Salomon!"

His facial expression was intense - like he knew something that nobody else did. "He's not out there." he stated.

Sarah grew a confused look on her face. "What...do you mean?" she asked.

"I'll explain on the way there, but we must go to Salomon's room." The two start running there. "That's where Abaddon and...Raven will be."

Marcello exits the prison cells with his brother Ba'al. Marcello's brother's White Longsword was caped in blood and his Venetian red shirt was ripped in several different places like a sword had gone across it - revealing patches of his pale skin. Some of these rips had cuts that oozed out blood, others were simple scars. He no longer had his scarf.

Marcello had his Saradomin Sword firmly gripped in his hand, ready for anybody. His brother glanced at the west hallway. "They are coming." he warned.

Marcello readied his blade and got into a stance. His sword was in both hands and pointing out in front of him, his feet were apart and dug into the ground. "I'm ready for anybody." he replied.

A lighting strike ripped the sky, creating a blind light to affect everybody. A heavy boom quaked the ground as if a bomb had gone off. When the lighting's blinding flash finally disappeared, before the two was the Angel of Death.

His scythe ready in his left hand, and his right hand dangled down clenched together. Marcello's eyes widened when he saw the Angel of Death before him. "A-Abaddon!?" he said in his head.

Marcello's brother made quick haste after Abaddon. His feet stomped down on the red carpet, his face wore an emotionless mask. He strikes his sword at Abaddon, but when his sword makes contact with Abaddon's flesh, he just disappears.

He didn't seem to panic, he shuffled his head left and right. Marcello did the same thing, only Abaddon appeared behind Marcello. The Angel of Death grabbed the back of Marcello's head and lifted him off of his feet. Marcello was surprised, and he yelped as a result.

The Crimson Reaper turns around and faces Abaddon. Marcello loses grip of his sword and it falls to the ground. In a silent thud, it kisses the ground. Marcello struggled to break Abaddon's grip, but his attempts were in vain - the Angel of Death's grip was too strong.

A smirk and a soft giggle whispered from Abaddon. "I wonder if you share the same information like your brother." he said. "Perhaps I should absorb your mind to find out."

Marcello's brother grits his teeth. "Stop!" he shouted. "It is me you are after. Do not kill my brother."

"And why so self sacrificing?"

"Because he is my ally.." he replied. "..and my brother." Abaddon laughed. His satanic laughter echoed across the kingdom. Lighting strikes the ground outside and rips the darkening sky apart. Despite the dark laughter - Ba'al does not change facial expression, still remaining emotionless.

Abaddon's laughter comes to a halt. He glances upon Ba'al with his cold lifeless pitch black eyes that reveal his soul. "You mortals are so amusing." he commented. "All so foolish, so pathetic, so inferior."

The Crimson Reaper closes his eyes and clenches his hands into a tight fist. "What you are doing is satanism, Abaddon." he replied. "Do you truly believe that you can destroy all living creatures?"

"It is not power or purity I seek Ba'al. It is the inevitable end of all living things that is which I can stop."

"Do you even realize the imbalance that will occur if such event were to take place?"

"Balance is merely an illusion created by your false gods so that you may not be tempted to take their powers or even go beyond them." he closed his eyes. "With the power of the Stone of Jas, I can rid this world of the end. With the Stone of Jas, I can create true immortality."

"So why kill all those innocent people!?" his eyes shot open. "What did THEY die for!?!"

Abaddon opened his eyes. "Humans are merely wasting themselves away. They do not deserve what I will achieve."

A quiet pause froze over the two. After about two minutes, the Crimson Reaper readies his sword. "I'm done talking with you. The only way to save us all is to extinguish you."

"Silly mortal. You must have forgotten that your brother's inferior life is in my hands. You cannot possibly win."

"I have not forgotten." He grabs the cuff of his right sleeve. "Behold - your flaws!" He rips his right sleeve off, revealing the mark 'Kusur' upon the back of his forearm. His glowing crimson red eyes glare upon Abaddon. "I am the taint, the imperfection, the failure."

"Ahh..so you are the failure."

"I will surrender myself to destroy you if that is what it must take."

"Your ability would prove most inconvenient." Abaddon loses his grip upon Marcello's head. He drops to the ground faster than a bag of rocks. Abaddon's pitch black eyes bleed through Ba'al. "But there is a flaw to you, failure. And it will shine when we meet again. But in the meantime, farewell." Abaddon disappears.

Marcello quickly grabbed his Saradomin Sword and jumped to his feet. "Abaddon!" he shouted.

"He is gone, Marcello."

Marcello glanced upon Ba'al. "Are you okay?" he asked.

He glanced upon his brother. "Yes." he replied.

Marcello gazed upon Ba'al 's right arm, and saw the mark of the failure. "So, you're the failure? The last of the children of Abaddon."

"..Yes.."

"Well, it doesn't matter. What does matter is that we're alive and ready to confront Salomon." Marcello walks over to Ba'al and extended his left hand. "So, are you ready?"

"I have been ready for this moment."

Marcello smirked. "Good." Marcello and Ba'al start running towards Salomon's room. "Let's go!!"

Vezyfher was with Arabella. They were outside in the middle of the raging thunderstorm. Rain whipped their faces and lighting hammered the land around them. Flashes of fireworks light up the dark gray sky - making them almost blinding.

The elf sighed. "Why must it rain?" he sighed. The rain fell from the heavens above as if the gods were crying an anthem of sorrow. Anger rushed across the sky as Saradomin's fury painted a picture of pure rage across the landscape.

The two continue their way to the castle. Their location was forsaken after the attack on the city a year ago. Building were still burned down, with only ashes to remember their history. The two's feet hammer into puddles of fallen rain. Arabella walks over to one of the forsaken buildings and knells down.

Vezyfher sighed. "This isn't time to be distracted Arabella. I could be easily struck by lighting by us just standing here!" he stated.

She grabbed onto a teddy bear that was partly burned. Her eyes went down like she was filled with a flood of sadness. "These people were forsaken, desolated, weren't they?" she mumbled.

"Why does it matter? This is just a bitter memory now."

"These people have been forgotten. They had no hope."

"I suppose.."

"Lord Salomon really is an evil man, isn't he?"

"It's why I opposed him to begin with."

She stood up to her feet and sighed. "And I thought that the Human Country was a country of justice and freedom."

"You're in the wrong world then Arabella." he crossed his arms. "Humans and other beings don't care about that type of stuff. All they care about is themselves and how much power they can get."

Arabella looks back at Vezyfher. "I suppose you're right.."

"C'mon. We've got to get to the castle."

"Okay.." The two began to start running. Their footsteps thunder down upon the dirt and slaps into puddles of mud and water. Several steps took them further than where they were before. But something made Vezyfher feel strange. He gazed up at the roofs and grabbed Arabella's hand to stop her. "Stop!" he shouted.

She looked back at him. "Why?" she replied. He pointed up at the roofs and she glanced up at them. Many black feathered ravens with these glowing crimson eyes glared down at them, crowding the rooftops.

Arabella's eyes widened. "Ravens!?" she yelped.

"Not just ravens, Raven Reaper assassins." he replied.

"There are way too many!"

"Not much we can do about that."

All the ravens take off into the air. It was like a swarm of black that flooded the skies, cloaking it in a sea of darkness. The dark gray sky was unseen through this shroud of darkness, and the world under this cover of black was turned into a dark paradise, unable to see the world around one. It was like a dome of black.

"Damn..this is not going to turn out well.." the elf mumbled to himself. When all the ravens landed, the two humans in the center were surrounded by a large field of black. It was like a large bulls eye, they were in the center of a endless darkness that saw through them with glowing crimson red eyes.

A pitch black smoke choked out the air surrounding the two. From the darkness, bodies appeared silhouette. You were able to see their shadow but unable to see them. All you saw from them were their eyes. Hundreds of them rose from the ground and grew much taller.

Daggers and swords took their hand, they were ready to kill anything in sight. Finally, the smothering fog disappeared. This revealed an army of Raven Reaper assassins. Tens of hundreds. Vezyfher fearlessly drew his Chrysanthemum blade and readied himself. "There is not much we can do but fight, Arabella." he whispered to her.

She looks back while drawing her Leaf-bladed two-handed blade. "This is insane. We cannot possibly kill every single one of them without dying ourselves." she replied.

Vezyfher shrugs his shoulders. "Then I suppose that's how it's going to be." he rushes into the crowd of Raven Reapers after his words. When he hit enough speed, he jumps into the air and pointed his blade down at the crowd. With the pull of his Chrysanthemum's trigger, he shoots a dart at whichever assassin in front of him.

He then moves his arm to his left and pulls the trigger on them. A dart is hurled out of his dartgun's chamber and hits one of the assassins in front of the blast. He then turns to his right and pulls the trigger. Another dart spits out from his dartgun and hits another assassin. All three darts hit non-vital areas so they remain alive.

Yellow energy shoots out from his boots. This energy pushes him back over to Arabella. He quickly grabs her hand and jumps on top of the nearest roof, taking her along with him. Arabella looks at him confused. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"You'll find out soon - just run!" he replied, running away from her. She sighed and hasted after him. They run away fron the assassins on the rooftops. All the Raven Reapers jump on top of these roofs and chase after them.

Vezyfher glanced behind him to make sure they were following them. A smirk grew to the corner of his left cheek. "Heh, they fell for it." he mumbled to himself. Arabella was running right beside him. From any eagle's eye view, it was like two ants running from a large line of black. "You mind telling me what you're doing?!" her voice raised.

"You're about to find out! Jump off!" he shouted. As soon as she heard what he said, she jumped down off the roof along with Vezyfher. Suddenly, three large explosions boomed across the rooftops. A rage of wind hits the two down below and bits of burnt roof are sent flying into the air.

A cover of smoke blinds the rooftops, but the buildings in which the whole entire Raven Reapers were on top of collapses as the three detonations were so greatly powerful that the slightest weight made the fragile buildings collapse into bits. All the assassins fell under the rubble and were snared in this place, trapped with broken bones.

Dead bodies drop down to the streets, charred and lifeless. Only some lived, and their cries of agony and pain flooded the air. Arabella covered her mouth with her hands as if one were shocked. Her eyes widened. "Dear Armadyl.." she mumbled.

"Well, I suppose we are assassin free, eh Arabella?" he said. He winks. "So how about a job well done kiss, hmm?"

"We need to help them."

Vezyfher's eyes widened. "Why!? They tried to kill us!" the elf then thought about something. "Well, they tried. But failed - thanks to my amazing thinking, heh heh."

Arabella rushed over to one of the assassins. The elf sighed and ran after her.

Marcello and Ba'al approached Salomon's room. They both hid behind a gray stone wall, shadowing the two assassins guarding the door. "Salomon's room is before us." mumbled Ba'al. Marcello sighed. "Yeah - but with those guards, how do we get in?" he replied.

Suddenly, something growled under the assassin's feet. Two spikes of rock cannonball from the ground under the black robed assassins and impale them. Their soft cries out in pain quick silenced. Marcello's eyes widened. "Well.." he mumbled. "..that was convenient.."

Something softly tugged Marcello's shirt, then a light tap. Marcello turned around and punched whoever it was behind him right in the face. It was Janak that was behind him. Square in the face, Marcello's fist smacked against Janak's nose.

Janak fell to the ground, holding onto his nose. He looked up at Marcello with a confused look. "What did I ever do!?" he yelped.

Marcello's eyes widened, like an exclamation mark lit up above his head. "Joshua!" he shouted.

Sarah knelled down next to Janak. "Are you okay?" she asked, concerned.

He shook his head. "Yeah, just remind me again to never sneak behind Marcello." Sarah stood up to her feet and extended her hand out to him to pull him to his feet. He smiled and grabbed her hand. She pulled him up to his feet. With a smile and a wink, he greeted her. "Thanks."

She smiled. "You're welcome." She glanced at Ba'al, who glanced upon her with his cold crimson eyes. "I suppose I owe you an apology."

He shook his head. "It is unneeded." he replied. "You were unable to understand. But as long as you learned the truth at the moment where it is most needed, that is all that matters."

Marcello glances at Janak. "Listen, Joshua-"

Janak shook his head. "Like Ba'al said, it is unneeded." he replied. "And you can stop calling me Joshua."

Marcello raised an eyebrow. "Huh?"

Janak smiled. "It's Janak."

Marcello's eyes widened, and his jaw hit the floor. "Wha-what!?"

Sarah giggled. "Yeah, I had the same reaction."

The Crimson Reaper looked upon his comrades. "We will have to save this for later. Right now we must enter Salomon's room." Everybody agreed, shaking their heads. The four rushed over to Salomon's room's door. Marcello was in lead of the group, so he was first to the door. He stood before the door with the others behind him. He looks back at them. "Is everyone ready?" he questioned.

Everyone shook their heasds, confirming their preparation. Marcello shook his head up and down. "Okay," he mumbled. "get ready." He looks back at the door and reaches his hand to the glided door handle. But then the door opens by itself. The four looks into the room, unaware of what's before them.

Abaddon was sitting on a throne chair. His right hand clenched into a fist and pressed against his cheek. His right elbow on the right arm of the chair. His legs crossed, and a emotionless expression of his face. Lev was to his left, his arms crossed with an arrogant smirk on his face. Raven, the masked headmaster, was to Abaddon's right.

"Ahh, so you made it." said Abaddon. "I was beginning to wonder if you had died or not."

The four walked into the room. "Enough, Abaddon." said Ba'al. "It is the end."

"Is it? But how could it possibly be the end when I have all the cards?"

"Because Abaddon, I am the failure. And I can put an end to you right now." A soft laughter whispered from Lev. The Crimson Reaper glared at the boy. "What is it you find so amusing?"

His laughter halted in place. "The failure is Abaddon's flaw, his shadow." he stated. "You could not possibly win with your inferior ability."

"Is that so? How about you come prove it?"

Raven turns to the right of the room. "This is pointless. We need to search for Salomon." he growled, beginning to walk away.

Abaddon moved his vision over to Raven. "Why in such a haste, Raven?"

Raven's feet froze colder than a block of ice. He slowly glanced behind his back and looked upon Abaddon. "My lord, it would be in our best interest to find Salomon before he escapes." he returned to walking forward.

"Did I give you orders to leave?"

Once again, Raven's feet froze. He turned his head back to Abaddon, only much slower than the last time. "Why go against me, my lord?"

Lev closed his eyes. "Because it's over, Raven."

"What do you mean?.." his voice collapses into silence.

Abaddon disappears from sitting on the throne chair and appears right in front of the looking back Raven. Raven turned around, facing Abaddon and took three steps back. "My-my lord..!"

Abaddon followed. "Like my son has said, it is over for you."

Raven continued to back away, and Abaddon followed. "Wha-wha-what do you mean!?"

"Raven, Headmaster, Emperor Salomon. It's over."

Marcello's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief. "S-Salomon!?"

Raven gulped. "What are you talking about, my lord!?.."

Abaddon threw his hand upon Raven's mask and ripped it off of his face. The mask seemed to move in slow motion as Marcello's eyes followed it. The mask smacks against the glided carpet softly, and Raven's true face was revealed. Marcello's eyes sluggishly returned to Raven and he saw his face.

It was indeed Salomon. Marcello could not believe his eyes, he had a look on sheer disbelief upon his face. "Lord Salomon..?" he mumbled.

Salomon's head gazed down upon the floor. "It seems my fate has finally found me.." he mumbled.

Abaddon took hold upon Salomon's head and lifted him up off of his feet. Salomon did not struggle, he closed his eyes and looked calm, perhaps accepting his end.

Abaddon's grip upon Salomon's forehead grew. These strange veins appear from Abaddon's eyes. These veins traveled from Abaddon's eyes to his hand. There, the black veins became visible upon Salomon's body. Once they got to Salomon's neck, they retracted back into Abaddon's eyes.
