Chapter Two: A Promised Meeting
The demon quickly raised his sword as Byron struck at his head. The swords sparked from the impact but had no time to cool off as the demon whirled it through the air to strike back. Byron spun and deflected the blade. "What's wrong? You're getting sloppy Demon!" Jet kicked off Byron's back before bringing his scythe down with massive strength. The demon quuckly leapt away but before he could take a breath he was quickly avoiding Vira's punches and kicks. He was soon backed into a wall when Crush came in with a massive punch. The demon moved his head and the punch shattered the wall behind him. [i]Crush isn't as big of a threat as I first thought, however he is enough to turn the tables against me. The demon was thinking, trying to figure a way out without having to kill them. He leapt back and smiled. "You all work so hard at trying to catch me but I have to ask, is the trouble I give you really worth the money?" Byron ran forward and clashed with the demon. "Probably not, but we have a personal grudge against you as well." The demon frowned, "You three are still angry about that?" The two broke away from each other and Jet came in slamming his spear where the demon was a moment ago. "We'll never forgive you for the humiliation we've gone through because of you." The demon ran up and gave a swift punch to Jet's head. He fell unconcious immediately. "You need to learn how to move on." Vira came up from behind and threw the demon into the air. "Just shut up and die Demon!" Crush positioned himself below the demon, ready to kill him when he landed. The demon however muttered a few words. Suddenly wings of blood red energy sprouted from his back and he stopped falling. "I have no intention of dying."
"So you think you can just open your wings and fly away?" Byron stepped forward and looked straight at him. "I think it may help. Why?" Byron looked down and muttered some words. Suddenly his body glowed gold. "I don't think flight will help." Byron leapt up and began slashing at the demon. Instead of fighting back he simply flew higher. But instead of falling down, Byron stayed floating. "So you've learned how to fly?" Byron smirked, "We know more than that." Without warning Vira appeared in front of the demon and was about to kick him. However she was slammed to the ground. "Three on one isn't very fair don't you think?" The demon's eyes widened before he began to laugh. "I was wondering when I'd see you again, if at all. So you want help me? Do you think you're strong enough? Kyle." The teen simply drew his sword and aimed his hoverboard down at Byron. "Just try to keep up Demon!" Kyle leapt off his hoverboard and used the momentum of his fall speed to slash at Byron. Byron raised his sword to block but couldn't stop the power behind the hit. His golden sword was sliced through and Byron took a slash from his left shoulder to his right hip. Blood gushed from the wound as Byron stumbled back. Crush ran up to kill Kyle but was quuckly surrounded by red light. Suddenly attacks came from the light smacking Crush around until the light formed itself into the demon and he kicked Crush down. Kyle looked around and then sheathed his sword. "Well the sword guy can't fight back, spear dude is out cold, and muscle head just dropped. It seems like you're the only one left girl." Vira scowled but knew she was beat. She went over to Byron and he muttered a few words. The four of them then vanished in a golden light.
The demon stopped the spell he used to form his wings and sword. The two simply vanished into thin air. Kyle went over and picked up his board. "Have some sword skill and a way to fly, then come find me. I'll test you and if you pass my test, I promise I'll train you." The demon laughed, "Have you been living by the words I told you that day?" Kyle laughed, "No but they did give me a goal. Now I have some skill, which you saw. A way to fly via my hoverboard. And I must've found you. Or am I speaking to some other legendary Death Demon?"
"You still have to pass my test."
"Considering all the training I've been doing, I don't think some test will be hard." The demon smirked as he walked towards Kyle. "Then you've never taken a demon's test." Kyle scoffed, "Can't be too hard no can it? Anyways shouldn't we get out of here? More people will come to get your bounty. And unless the test is gonna be to protect you, I don't want to fight them." The demon closed his eyes and thought for a moment. "Do you have some place to go?" The demon shook his head. "Well I've got a place. With a large training area to. Its just outside Capital City." The demon opened his eyes. "Then what do you say, I post-pone your test until we get there?" Kyle jumped on hus hoverboard and activated it. "Follow me."
