The Black Dragon

Creation

"Oh, two new playthings have joined the fray. Wonder how long you two will last?" Freed asks as he licks his blade. Kiba ignores this action but Felix cringes at it.

"It's like you're asking for tetanus," Felix says with disgust in his tone. "Anyway, Kiba do what you gotta do. I'll handle Freaky Friday over there." Felix says as he aims his guns at Freed, who merely chuckles at Felix's challenge.

"You honestly think you can take me?" Freed asks while laughing historically. However, his laughter is cut short when a concentrated blast of magic hits his shoulder. Freed glares at Felix who rests his gun over his shoulder, the barrel of the gun smoking.

"I wouldn't have started shooting if I didn't think I could take you," Felix smirks as he keeps firing with the gun not resting on his shoulder. Swinging his blade Freed blocks the attack and rushes toward him. As this happens Felix slowly backs away while continuing to fire. However, Freed continues his approach and soon he finds himself close enough to swing his blade. With one swift motion Freed swings his blade and Felix just barely manages to duck under the blade. Then Felix aims the gun in his left hand at Freed's right leg and pulls the trigger. The bast of magic hits and disperses once it makes contact. Freed's eyes widen as he takes a knee and grits his teeth.

"The hell, just one point-blank felt like I just got my leg smashed by a sledgehammer," Freed tells himself as he looks at his injured leg. "Why is there no hole? Don't tell me this guy is some pussy who can't bring himself to take a life." Thinking this Freed internally smirks, the fact Felix came into this fight unwilling to kill gives him the upper hand.

"Gonna be hard to use Excalibur Rapidly speed if your body can't handle it," Felix says as he points both his guns at Freed. "I'd say give up and face your punishment but let's be real, you aren't gonna do that. So let's settle this with a good old fashion beatdown." Felix tells the mad priest.

Suddenly Freed swings his blade upward but Felix had already dodged it. The Blade doesn't so much as come close. Freed brings himself to his feet and his sword changes form yet again. This time to a long sword. As the two ex-church goers prepare for their fight Xenovia looks at them and gulps. "Freed, you best not take Felix Wakatsuki lightly. Counting all our battles Felix has been me seventeen times, I've won only six times, and we've had one draw" Xenovia tells herself. As Xenvoia watches so does Valper.

"Valper Galilei!" Kiba shouts. Hearing his name Valper looks toward the knight completely uninterested and almost annoyed at the fact his attention is being taken away from the fight about the unfold. "I am a survivor of the Holy Sword Project, no that's not right, I am the survivor of your pointless massacre, reborn as a devil. Now I have only one question for you, why?" Kiba asks as the sounds of combat fill the background. However, Both Kiba and Valper pay the sounds little mind.

"Pointless?" Valper says in an emotionless tone. "I guess a survivor wouldn't understand. The holy swords, I've always been fascinated by them, even from a young age. The mere thought of using them caused my heart to skip beats, but then I was told I don't have the aptitude to use them and I fell into despair." Valper explains. "So with no way to use them, I became entranced by those who could and the artificial creation of holy sword users. And thanks to all of you I was able to complete my work." Valper tells all who are lessening.

Kiba fist tightens as he glares at the priest. "Complete? Complete!? All you did was decide we were failures and killed and if not you left us for dead!" Kiba shouts with nothing but pure rage filling his voice.

"I realized that none of you had enough of the gene needed to wield a holy sword. However, I was then blessed with an idea. Why don't I just extract the portion of the gene you all had and then fuse them together to create what I need." Valper says as Felix falls on his back and Freed plunges his sword down in an attempt to stab the ex-exorcist, but Felix blocks the blade with his guns before kicking Freed off him. However, despite this fight still going on Valper and Kiba pay it no mind and even Xenovia is nearly focusing on it, paying more attention to the conversation at hand.
