Welcome to Dra Aht (Speed Event)

[Avice Locke]

"I hate it..." She sighed. "However It helps..." To confirm what she already knew. cursing as she couldn't tell what aurae were real or who they might belong to.

She looked over at the Cleone and back at the room where Father and Daughter faced their own issues. The Voice beckoned her to come to him but she stood her ground. Was she keeping to safety or was she playing some smart move? She couldn't decide. "I'm not moving. Just come on already. Once you appear we can move forward, I am sure of it."

[Lucille "Lucky" O'Donnovan]

While he charged Lucky would go forth and try to slide in for a low blow to Kraken's knees. She wasn't a fighter but she could fend for herself.

[Zack Asiv]

The door opens again and in walks... Evelyn. If anyone looked back the Beast was replaced with Evelyn's sister, struggling, and growling almost as she pulls at her restraints, nashing teeth, whatever she has to. Evelyn walks over holding her knife and behind her approaches the Beast, grabbing the hand with the blade as she begins to sob.

"It's not hard... Anyone can do it."

The Beast then looks at the group.

"It's about survival, right?"

The Beast begins lowering Evelyn's hand to insert the blade into her sisters flesh. Not a killing wound, but there was a sadistic nature to it. This was only the beginning. The Beast stared at Mathew as he did it.

Drake's loud boast got the attention of Leon and Mathew who turned their heads to look at him. They got up with sounds and looks of disappointment.

"How did you get out of there? It's only been a few minutes."

The sounds from the room stop before he can hear his mother howl about how the Dragon brat got away.

"Guess he's got extra power he's been holding back during training."

Mathew doesn't like the sound of that.

Lucky's kick to the Kraken avails nothing as he turns his head to look at her, snapping a hand out and grabbing her by the face. Lifting and squeezing, Lucky can feel the immense pressure of his fingers digging in, threatening to crack facial bones.

"Save her."

The Kraken says waiting for Val to charge up his attack.

"It's all up to you. Your duty... Your responsibility... Don't let her down."


Avice see's a small child with a cocky grin come around the corner. Running a thumb under his nose he places his hands on his hips. Behind him walks Arcenus, who kneels down and places a hand on his shoulder.

"What did you leave for Avice? We had a deal, a good thing going."

[Valerian Blackburn]

"Stop... it...."

Val growls through clenched teeth, the energy in his hands flashing brighter.

"You want to prove how much of a badass you are, right? Then let her go and tank this. I don't want to hit her by accident."

[Avice Locke]

This might be a bit easier than the thought suddenly the words came right out...

"Priorities man..." she shrugged, no beating around the bush. "I have yet to give up on you though freedom is amazing and I can't wait to know the real you..." she looked at the kid with an equally cocky grin... "Both of you, especially if you are as much a lil' hellion as you look."

[Lucille "Lucky" O'Donnovan]

She let out an "Ooomph!" as Kraken came down on her muffling her with his hand. Already feeling he pressure she would wrap her legs around his arm and try for a grable that would attempt to bread his elbow.


She was not a helpless Normie! She couldn't roll over and just accept this.  She squirmed in Kraken's palm to try and speak to Val. "Hit me if you must! I'd rather lose a limb than be dead!"

[Drake]

Drake looked over at the two who stood. Shit. This was problematic to say the very least. He was now staring down two Elder Dragons in their Prime... as pissed as he was at being compared to Raikotsu, he wasn't stupid.

"I look nothing like my father!"

Drake would shout as he punched the rock wall hoping that there might be a possible exit inside the blocked off room.

[Mathew Amtrum]

"A twist on a dark moment created to try and strengthen the emotions that fuel you."

He pulled out the gun and would fire at the ghoul Beast with a click of his tongue.

"Smoke and shadows. Nothing more."

[Evelyn Amtrum]

Evelyn frowned but nodded, turning to look at the figure in the door, blinking at the sight of herself. Her frown deepened, uncertain of what sort of regret this could possibly be, but it was her heart that stopped at the sounds from the table.

Arianna.

The world felt like it was going in slow motion as she looked back at the table and found her sister strapped down, fighting to free herself and keep the threats at bay, no matter the cost. Her stomach knotted at the sight of her clone moving into the room, watching as she was show weak enough to need the aid of her sister's killer to hurt her, to be shown as a puppet. To see the ghoul DARE to wear her sister's face.

It was a what if that never was, something she understood beneath the anger on a gut level.

The bullet went off as her eyes narrowed, focusing on the ghoul that looked like her clone as the beast was shot at. The rolling stomach sensation continued and started to settle.

"Yeah." The emotional play worked, to say the least. Eve inhaled a deep breath and ran her fingers through her hair with a sigh.

[Zack Asiv]

The Kraken makes a small shoving motion with his arm that would throw Lucky away from him, though the Kraken was pleased by her attempts to break his arm. She simply wasn't strong enough, even with all her leverage.

"Do it."

Drake would destroy the rock door keeping from the room, once inside Drake would find he wasn't in the brothel anymore. What he saw before him was Raikotsu Sudeki. He couldn't mistake that look from descriptions of the famous Dragons. Except some things were obviously off... He looked rather feminine. Adjusting with a hand on his hip and running the other through his hair he smiles wide.

"They are finally all dead."

The room is a void and he is alone, by himself.

"It's easy. Just use everyone and do what you have to. No one will care about you, be there for you, love you... But, you will finally be able to tell the world what you did."

Bright lights turn on pointing at Drake who is the spitting image of his father.

"Drake Normans, The Slayer. With accordance with the world peace treaty you will surrender here, or die."

The older Drake covers his eyes with a hand and sighs.

"This is what I wanted..."

He charges at the lights pulling out an earth spear, a lightning blade, flouting over the ground, and growing blood wings before a torrent of elemental attacks fly at him... AND Drake who is standing there!


Arcenus chuckles.

"Well, I guess there is no point to pushing the issue, huh? You'll come back to me, won't you?"

The kid smirks and nods his head at Avice before walking away.

The Beast dodged the bullet, with a show of power unlike the other Ghoul so far and reached for a weapon, before the Eve Ghoul transformed into Bastille spinning around and knocking The Beast off balance with a rapier. She said nothing, did nothing else, except stare at The Beast before looking at Mathew with that stern and serious look.

"Don't miss this time."

Arianna on the table was no longer there and instead behind the Beast, holding him in a Full Nelson was Shion.

"Everyone needs help from time to time."

[Valerian Blackburn]

“Alright... stay right there...”

Val suddenly swings his hands forwards, sending forth a blast of his full power!

Not at the Kraken, but at the floor beneath him, intending on opening a hole to drop him down out of the room.

Should he succeed, Val goes to grab Lucky and yank her to her feet, running for the way the Kraken had broke into the room initially to escape.

[Lucille "Lucky" O'Donnovan]

Kraken shoves her out of the way anyway! She lands against a near by wall and there she would remain form the time being.

Until she reached for Val at the sight of him.

[Avice Locke]

Avice weighed on his words. "To you... Yeah. I'll come back for you. But Prota will never own me or mine again." she swiped the air making it well known she was final on that.

The kid was walking off... She wasn't sure where or if it mattered. It hadn't had anything more to do with her it seemed. This wasn't getting uglier than it need to be... She would actually like to keep it that way

[Drake]

Drake would watch silently. What... what was this he was witnessing? This place seemed adept at showing the past, that much was obvious. But, could this really be the future? Was this just another trick? Drake just watched as this version of himself used the powers of the Dragons to attack the entity that called itself the "World Peace Force."

Several thoughts ran through his head at this time. Who was this Peace Force? Why were they attacking him? Why did he attack them? Why did he look so much like... Was this to be his fate?

Then suddenly attacks were heading for him! Drake would jump out of the way and attempt to keep watching. He wanted to know more...

[Mathew Amtrum]

"And people wonder why I settled down with you."

Even as a pale imitation Bastille was a hell of a woman. He'd re-aim at the restrained beast and fire once more.
