Julius sighed and approached Shenorai who was slightly wounded. Though she appeared to care for others more than herself, Julius knew that there had to be some other reasons. Noticing the bottle left by Shenorai, Julius picked the bottle and opened it. Then, after sitting besides Shenorai, Julius extended his arm and offered the bottle to Shenorai.

Julius: "Here, you need it more than I do. I'll leave it for you. Also you need to heal those wounds....perhaps I could do something.....let's see...."

Julius left the bottle beside Shenorai and began to stand up. Then he backed and extended his arms towards Shenorai with his palms wide open.

Julius: "Here's an old magical spell that I learned from an old friend. Recuperatio!!!" (Recover)

Suddenly, a healing light emanated from Julius hands and began to enveloped Shenorai. The wounds that Shenorai had began to glow and slowly started to heal one by one. Though this was a powerful spell, the healing process was slow and it would take some time to fully heal Shenorai.


Julius was left exhausted, he used most of his magical energy in the previous battle and by using this spell, he really went beyond his limit. He fell on his knees, staring at the ground expressionless.

Julius: "I guess I over did it a little.....hehe..he....he....I just need.....s..o...me...re...s.....t....."

Julius closed his eyes, his hair falling before his forehead an covering his eyes. He was trying to recover some of his strength after such an exhausting battle.
 
FFGuy readies his weapons slowly and carefully and aims his SAA at the three strangers and fires his gun repeatedly at them hoping they werent skilled enough to block or dodge the bullets.
 
Before Shen could catch Julius, someone had opened fire upon them. Quickly, she tackled Julius to the ground again. The horse reared back in panic and galloped back towards town, whether Arthvader was still on its back or not.

She cursed as she pulled out her shotgun, aiming it towards the source of the gunshots and fired a spread shot. She cocked the barrel and fired another shot before reloading.

"Goddammit...first Gilgamesh, now this...it never ends!"
 
on the edge the forest darkswordprince can see the town. he decides too stop and jump up in a tree to find shelter for the night.

darkswordprince: um... I'll be safe here for now.(I'll rest for about 3 hours)
 
When he came to, Arthvader realized that he was on the horse, which went in a panic. wondering why the horse panicked, Arthvader tries to tame the horse, which he managed to do so. he then heard a couple of gunshots from a distance. looking around, he didn't see any sign of Shen or Julius. thinking of the worst that could happen, Arthvader rushed towards the group.

Arthvader : "Hey are you guys alright?"

not knowing what's going on, Arthvader quickly picked up his shield, which he picked up earlier during the fight against Gilgamesh, and blocked an oncoming bullet that was aimed at him.

Arthvader : "I don't who you are, but you don't want to be messing around with me, or my crew, because doing that will lead you to an early grave. Now, I suggest that you surrender, or else."
 
Julius was still unconscious, the amount of magical energy he used really pushed his resitance way beyond his limit. While being unconscious, Julius's past flashed through his mind all of the sudden.

A couple of years ago....Castle Silverwing


A young man wearing full body silrver armor was standing next to a Lake while holding a letter with his right hand. The young man read the letter and was consumed by a deep sorrow.

In anger he went towards a nearby tree and punched it with all his might with his right fist. He was confused, there was no explaination that could convince him of what was written in the letter was true.

He quickly turned to ask an old man wearing a golden crown, a silver armor and a royal red cape.

"Why did she leave? Father....why is this happening to me? Was it because of me?"

Suddenly a deepening hatred began to turn the young man mad, he was losing his sanity and a strange malevolent purple glow began to surround him. The old man who was next to him backed off in terror witnessing how his son was transforming into a monster with an endless thirst for revenge.

The young man screamed in agony and then fainted.....


Presen day....

Julius suddenly awoke and was caught in the middle of a battle. He was lying on the ground confused and a bit tired. he then noticed Shenorai's battle against a strange warrior and how Arthvader arrived to help Shen.

Without losing more time, Julius rushed to stand up, grabbing the handle of his sword and unsheathing it quickly. Julius then stood before the warrior aiming his sword at the mysterious warrior's neck.

Julius: "You devil...how dare you to attack us?"

Julius quickly reached his jacket to draw his silver handgun with his left hand and aimed it to the warrior's head. His cold sight was fixed on the strange warrior who had the guts to attack them.
 
hmph you dare challenge me!

*FFGuy warps himself and julius into a dark area lit only by the floor and readies his weapons*

so you think you are strong then come now.....face me
 
Julius felt drawn to an unknown dark realm and then he fell on his knees. Quickly he stood before the mysterious warrior who attacked them a few moments ago. Julius smiled and nodded from left to right shortly after laughing for an instant. He then opened his eyes and stared at the mysterious warrior. Julius reached the hilt of his blade and aimed it to the mysterious warrior.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Julius: "You made two mistakes; one was challenging me and the second was bringing me to a place filled with dark elemental energy. I am a Spell Knight which allows me to use both White and Black Magic. Though I don't feel like attacking you head on without first asking you some question."<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Julius began to walk around the mysterious warrior while still aiming his sword at his opponent. Julius grinned while walking; something about this warrior was slightly familiar.<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Julius: "Tell me, even among enemies it is considered as rude to challenge someone without first presenting yourself. I am Julius Argexis Silverwing, and who might you be?"<o:p></o:p>
 
i am FFGuy and i am a red mage do not think i will take it easy on you

*FFGuy points his gun at julius and starts spinning it ready to fire it madly if necessary*

so julius it is time for you to die....unless you wish to quit and leave with your bothersome friends they have been an annoyance especially since they have been taking a few hard hits from this baby, what? did you not see the wounds in that womans stomach and the idiots legs?.....ah i see they were hiding it...how futile they will die soon so the choice is yours....leave now and save them or fight me and let them die it is your choice
 
((It's a general rule of common courtesy that the victim of the attack is the one who decides whether or not the blow/shot is taken. The victim is expected to use his/her brain and takes the attack realistically, either dodging, parrying, blocking, or taking the blow accordingly. Not only is this true for role-playing battles, but also for the general role-playing game. Please keep this in mind.))


Shenorai's gun is aimed at the acclaimed mage, but her trigger finger freezes. Julius is too close to the newfound enemy and is likely to be caught in her shot's spread if she opened fire. With gritted teeth and a defeated growl, her finger relaxes.

...just who the hell does this guy think he is? Leondra asked, rather annoyed. He says we're being annoying, but he opened fire on us first.
"Seriously, what gives?" Shen responded through a mumble.

The bounty hunter crawled to a crouched position and winced, her hand flying to her stomach. Well what do you know, the mage spoke the truth. Although it didn't seem as bad as she thought it was going to be. There was no bullet in her body and the wound looked more like she was trying to play limbo with a revolver instead of a stick. It was still enough to bleed, though.

((this is just to psyche out julius you can choose whether it hits or not though @arthvader i am in a dark room fighting julius 1 on 1 no-one else is fighting there you have to wait til i have left the dark room))

*FFGuy started charging at julius parrying everything he could but before he could lay the blow his sword was knocked back by julius so he retreated with his gun to retrieve his sword*

you are good i will give you that.....now i guess i had better take this battle seriously.
 
Seeing as his opponent was pushed back by his power, Julius smirks faintly showing slight disgust towards this pointless battle. Though a powerful foe, Julius disliked useless fighting and only cared to battle against those who challenge him in an honorable manner, like we could see in his battle against Lady Shenorai Eterna at the Cathedral.

Julius swung his sword diagonally from left to right, aiming the tip of his blade to the ground. He then placed his left hand on the left side of his faced showing a more aggressive expression with his eyes. Shortly after that, he closed his eyes and sighed as if he were tired of fighting for nothing. Quickly, Julius turned to face FFGuy, looking him directly to his eyes.


"There's nothing more dishonorable than fighting without a good reason. I once thought on convincing you with words but it seems that it will fail after all. Anyway, actions speak louder than words so...."

Julius raised his sword and aimed it to FFGuy and remained standing there waiting for his opponent to make the first move, a typical behavior that Julius shows during one on one battles.

"I pity you, I wouldn't imagine you fighting against my twin brother who is stronger than me, though he is quite emotionless, selfish, eccentric and cold blooded tyrant, main reason why he was banished to the realm of shadows for trying to conquer the world. What an idiot..."
 
*FFGuy points his SAA at julius and started to fire whilst performing a spinning jump while spinning his sword in julius's direction*

dodge this! i will release your anger!

*while FFGuy kept his face overconfident it was clear he was getting desperate as he had never challenged a vampire and had heard tales of weak vampires slaying gladiators but FFGuy was no mere gladiator*

so you think your vampiric heritage will save you? you will find i am more of a match for you

*after saying this it was clear FFGuy had boosted his confidence and was prepared to slay this vampire and rip his heart out*
 
After seeing the incoming barrage of bullets, Julius smirked and raised his left arm with his hand wide open. He then smirked faintly and raised his left eyebrow. Suddenly a magical barrier appeared out nowhere and enveloped Julius, blocking all the bullets. As soon as the shield faded, Julius sensed his opponent's presence from above. Quickly he grabbed tightly the hilt of his sword and unleashed an arc slash from left to right, parrying his opponent's sword. Julius then back stepped and kept starring coldly at his opponent.

"Who said that I was a vampire? Perhaps you are confusing me with my twin brother, Lucius. He is the one you should really fear...luckily for all of use he has been sealed away."

Julius behavior was quite defensive since he didn't wanted to his opponent any harm, though patience is a virtue that this mysterious warrior is killing and Julius was really running out of patience.
 
hm a brother you say.....i must face him in the future

*FFGuy uses draconic end and bullet barrage on julius*

but first you must die!

*once finished with bullet barrage FFGuy uses a mix of scourge and firaga*
 
Julius dodges the desperate attack intended to kill him with little difficulty and in the end, he was forced to use his defensive spell "Scutum de Energia" once again to shield himself against the barrage of bullets. His opponent's attack where reckless and had little strategic influence opposite to Julius who has taken a defensive behavior to device an effective strategy against his opponent.

Noticing his opponent's aggressive and reckless behavior Julius knew that his opponent would eventually make himself vulnerable for direct hit. Suddenly he saw how his opponent chained two powerful spells into a single attack, forcing Julius to use some advanced magic. Quickly, Julius raised his left arm and punched the ground. Out of nowhere, magical barrier called "Reflexus Scutum" was summoned. The shield absorbed the magical spells and redirected a portion of their power back to Julius' opponent. The other portion inflicted light damage on Julius as a penalty from using that spell.

[FONT=&quot]((Description of "Reflexus Scutum": An advanced non-elemental spell that allows its caster to summon a reflective wall to shield itself against enemy attacks. The magical shield will redirect 75% of the energy absorbed by the spell of one magical based attack back to an opponent. The other 25% of the magical energy that was absorbed by the Reflect Shield will deal light damage as a penalty to the one who summoned the shield.)) [/FONT]

After that, Julius sheathed his main sword and performed yet another spell chaining it to the first one he used. Julius began to cast the arcane spell "Sphata de Lux" which allowed him to summon a four feet long one eight inches wide cross shaped sword made of pure holy energy. The hilt of the blade was 6 inches long and was surrounded with purifying powers. Also this magical blade created an electric force field which caused most mechanical objects to malfunction.

"I am tired, would you just give up and go away? I had a hard day and I don't think I am not in mood for fighting this pointless battle"
 
hmph, do i look like a coward to you? unless you feign defeat i will not allow you to leave.

FLARE!

draconic heal!

*FFGuy healed his wounds from the spell and used a flare spell and while this held julius's attention he ran at julius with nearly lightning speed and attempted to slice julius in two*
 
Julius lost the little patience he had left. As soon as he noticed the ferocious fireball coming directly at him and quickly sensed FFGuy's sword coming straightly trying to split him in two halves. Julius fixed his eyes on FFGuy, looking straightly to his eyes and grinned, Julius expression was more confident and with savage desire to end this battle quickly though he kept controlling his own emotions and remained calmed.

Soon both of his opponent's attacks were close enough to him bent his knees and did a somersault spinning in the air away from both attacks and left him high above his opponent. With this tactic, not only Julius dodged both attacks with one move, but he also placed FFGuy in the way of the fireball who was threatening to destroy the one who cast the spell.
While in mid air Julius quickly reached with his left hand the handle of his gun that was in a case underneath his long trench coat and aimed his silver handgun to FFGuy.

Julius then summoned his powers and infused the gun with fire energy and, as he pulled the trigger, a powerful bullet which seemed a like a raging fireball was released from the gun's cannon heading straightly to the ground between the flare attack and FFGuy.

"Back off or face your inevitable death!!!"
 
the bullet hit FFGuy in the back of his skull and he fell immediately to the ground and faded away and julius was teleported back with FFGuy before him

FFGuy: you didnt think i would die in my own battlefield did you?, til the next battle

*at this FFGuy teleported away leaving shenorai, arthvader and julius argexis alone*
 
darkswordprince wakes up and jumps out of the tree and heads for town. He went to the pawn shop to sell the stuff that he took off Chris. then he went to the pub/inn to wait for the rest of the group.
