Hera Ledro smiled with no intention of hiding the dramatic irony he now saw.

"Ah," Hera Ledro said, voice thick with mockery, "But you've made one small mistake. You see, neither my power, nor Jake's (and, make no mistake, you will pay with your life for mocking him), since neither one of us depend on the Dragons for our power, nor do we trace our power back through Dragonic routes."

Hera Ledro rustled his wings slightly, continuing. "These are only a symbol of my power, not the source of it. Neither is Jake's form the source of his power, only an incarnation that resulted from his extreme power." Looking Silverwing in the eyes, he said defiantly and mockingly, "It seems that you've found the weapon you've been searching for, only to discover that it is useless against the one you most seek to destroy. It's too bad you can't find the only weapon that would give one as weak as you any real chance to beat me, the Soul Calibur. Only I and the one who sealed it with me, long since dead, knew its location." Nodding at the Soul Edge-enhanced rapier that Silverwing held, he said, "Not even Night Terror, the creature you hold in your hand, knows where we placed it. And, since then, I have placed it in another spot, encased it in a shell that cannot be broken."

"In other words, only I know where it is. And you do not have the means to extract that knowledge from me." Standing up straight, and pointing his Dragon Blade straight at Silverwing, he cried, "I will no longer allow you to poison this world, good Doctor!" With that, he lunged at Julius A. Silverwing, slashing in a diagonal arc towards the one who held the Sword of Heroes.

He stopped mid lunge, and looked at another man, who had stopped an incoming volley of bullets at Hera Ledro, bellowing, "WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH THE PRESIDENT?"

It seems, thought Hera Ledro, keeping the majority of his fur sensors tuned to Silverwing, but also taking in this new person, that we have a new guest. This character was clearly hostile, as was seen by the power behind his shout, and Hera knew that this was nobody to toy with.

"Are you blind, human? I'm trying to kill the good doctor, here." And with that, keeping a few of his sensors tuned to the newcomer, Hera renewed his assault on Silverwing, this time loosing a golden ball of explosive energy at his opponent.

================================================== ======

Jake landed on the rooftops in a nearby town, not knowing what it was, and sat down, looking off into the distance.

As he did, he saw an incoming truck with a curious apparition on it: a human, standing on its top, and staring towards the town. Squinting a little, Jake saw that it was the same man that he had encountered out near Yucca Mountain.

Jumping from rooftop to rooftop, Jake landed on the side of the road and awaited the stranger, staring at the incoming truck. I hope Grandpa's okay...

Daros tried to ignore the insult but seeing a battle ensuing he tried to assist the more human of the two, as Hera Ledro called him the 'Good Doctor' he guessed at him being Silverwing

Daros: you appear to not know of whom you are dealing with, I am Daros, an elite spellknight, do not tempt me to utilise my abilities, I will not fall to the likes of you!

Daros ran to his foe and swung his Mageblade, Hera had a choice, would he pursue his attack on Dr. Silverwing or would he engage Daros? before Daros gave him much choice he utilised his earth powers and boulders appared out of nowhere, attempting to level the battlefield into a rocky mess, they had to flee the surrounding area in order to avoid grim death.

Daros: though I would love to entertain you, our time seems to be up.

With a quick bow Daros ran up a flight of stairs before they were barricaded by the boulders.

Julius rose his blade swiftly blocking Hera Ledro's attack. He stared directly to Hera Ledro's eyes devilishly. Julius knew that what he had within his hands was nothing less than a fraction of the demonic sword and was eager to see its full power once it becomes complete.

"Hera Ledro, it appears that you underestimate me my good friend. Even if I don't have the means to convince you to cooperate and can make you speak by force. You see, in order to take down a warrior we must attack the heart. Soon I will discover what is it that you cherish the most and use it to my benefit."

Julius stepped further closing the distance between Hera Ledro and himself. he soon thrust his lunged his blade towards Hera Ledro's torso. A malicious glint could be seen within the irises of Julius' eyes. Julius then halted his attack really close to Hera Ledro's torso and then made a surprise attack redirecting his blade towards Hera Ledro's neck. "Watch out if you don't want to lose you head!" He then halted his attack once again and jumped away swinging his blade from left to right putting all his evil intent on an attempt to slash Hera Ledro's chest. "On Guard my good dragon knight. Be on guard and do not allow anything to distract you from your main objective. I've always thought you've learned your lessons well but it seems I'll have to enlighten you the hard way."

Hera Ledro jumped back when Silverwing blocked his blade, and seperated his blade, making two equally-sized weapons.

Taking his left blade, Hera blocked the slash towads his chest as Silverwing lunged for him, and then flipped backwards into the air, his tail raking upwards as he flipped, straight for Julius' chin.

As he flew back in the air, he stopped 10 feet away from Julius, and blasted another ball at his foe, watching it explode on the ground at Silverwing's feet. The result was a huge cloud of dust and smoke around the room.

He doesn't have the same sensors I do, thought Hera. He can't feel the air the same way I can, so let's see what he can do without his shallow senses...

Tuning into his fur sensors, Hera Ledro closed his eyes, allowing his sensors to tell his mind what was around him, almost painting a picture in his mind.

Hera Ledro felt a flux in the cloud, and lunged for it, knowing from the power signature that it was Silverwing. Opening his eyes, he stared Silverwing straight in the face, and brought his left blade down on Silverwing, his right hand blade simultaneously coming at Julius' head horizontally.

"I am in a very bad mood, and your impertinence...-" Appears with a few scratches on his face, his clothes were barely ragged and he was partially covered in dust-"...is making.."- Julius deflects Hera Ledro's tail with the tip of his sword-"things a lot..." Julius dodges Hera Ledro's left hand blade and decides to parry Hera Ledro's right hand blade redirecting it towards the wall-"worse!!!!"-Julius then bent his knees and jumps high above Hera Ledro, landing behind the half man half dragon warrior. -"I'll cut that annoying tail of yours!!!"- Finally, Julius swung his blade horizontally from left to right aiming to Hera Ledro's tail.

Hera Ledro laughed, tugging his tail slightly out fo the blade's range as he sidestepped. "Imperinence? What impertinence? Surely you do not believe youself superior to me? Why don't I give you a glimpse of a fraction of my power, Silverwing..."

Stepping back, and clearing the cloud of dust with a wave of his hand, caling upon his Wind-Elemental power to blow it away. Now, his energy reserves were at less than half, but that was fine. It'll recharge after this, he thought.

"You seem to be harbouring the delusion that I am fighting...not so much at my best, but at a rate that would forego my true power. I'm not even close to my full power yet." Hera Ledro tensed his muscles slightly, and in a split second, a transformation ensued.

His hair, already spiky, stood up further on his head, adopting a golden sheen. His fur, due to the new energy charging it, shone a brilliant silver. His tail blade and nails changed to iridescent copper, blazing in the morning sun. Looking upwards, he noticed several boulders falling to the field, threatening to crush them.

Hera Ledro, with the doubled energy capacity and recharged by 75% of that new capacity (fully charged now), aimed his hand up at two of the boulders in turn, blasting them out of the sky with two well placed Energy Balls. The debris from the contact points caused the nearby boulders to breeak into small pieces, no longer a threat to them.

With Hera's strength and speed doubled, he looked at Silverwing with a humoured look on his face. "Where were we...ah yes." In what seemed to be no time at all, Hera Ledro was beside Silverwing with his blades swinging towards his head, in a pincer-like fashion. One from the left, one from the right...

October 6, 2007, 3:38 PM

Julius jumped away from Hera Ledro's, dodging the blades by mere inches. he landed safely next to a computer and extended his hands to activate something he had stored for Hera Ledro. -"You odious piece of good-for-nothing trash!! I had enough of your insolence!!"-Without removing his sight from Hera Ledro, Julius stroke the keys of the computer entering some sort of code. The computer accepted the password and suddenly a secret door was revealed behind the mad doctor. The doctor backed away from Hera Ledro while aiming his rapier to the dragon warrior. -"It's a shame this conversation had to end so abruptly, but there so many things to kill and so little time for me to do it. It's better to leave now and live to fight another day. This is not over Hera. Mark my words: I will not rest until I bring every single one being of that degenerate race of yours back to the hell where they belong."- Julius laughed as he closed the door before him, sealing the path between Hera Ledro and the mad doctor. The door was made of a nearly indestructible metal alloy that it would require an ferocious amount of strength to bring it down. As soon as the doctor's laughter faded away, the police and the rest of the reinforcements could be heard near Hera Ledro's location.

Daros was running up a large flight of stairs, getting tired rather quickly he breathed a sigh of relief when he reached the roof

Daros: now, where is the President?

A helicopter can be seen rising to Daros

Bush: we will meet back at the white house, just tell the guard that I sent you and show him this

Bush throws a strange metal disk roughly the size of a small dinner plate, completely unflawed and seemed to shine in the light

Daros: alright, do you get this sort of company often?

Bush: all shall be explained when you arrive.

And with that Bush closed the door and the Helicopter sped off

Daros: guess it is time for me to go..... I can't go down because of that.... thing and the doctor having a battle, guess my only option is to take the roof.

Daros ran to the edge of the roof and leapt, he could see some flagpoles which would slow his descent so he grabbed one, ripped the flag and grabbed the corners making a makeshift parachute.

Daros: that takes care of the descent, now how am I going to take care of getting to the white house? I guess I will have to improvise.

Daros flipped out of the makeshift parachute and hit the floor, as it was only a few feet drop it did not harm him, but he had to hurry as it was getting dark.
