"C'mon Doku, my feet are starting hurt! Just where did boss say this thing was anyways?"
"Quiet Gopher-boy. When we find it, you'll be the first to know." Doku was an average sized man, with a firm build. He wore a face mask that covered the top half of his face. He wore a casula looking jerkin with a strap that held his sword to his back. He wore a belt that had a large jewel encrested in it.
"Dont call me Goper-boy you... you... Half face guy!!" Doku chuckled.
"Dont make yourself look like an idiot. Jus-" Doku stopped walking, and silenced.
"Hey, c'mon, we dont have all day!" Tremor said, as Doku grabbed him by the collar. Just where Tremor had been walking, darts shot from the walls. Tremor stared in amazement.

"How about we be a little more careful next time." The man released Tremor, and continued onward. "Yeah, no joke... (gulp)" Tremor continued silently, this time behind Doku. Pressing onward a bit longer, Doku stopped, and Tremor walked right into his back. "There it is! The next stone! Boss will be pleased." Tremor walked over to the treasure chest that sat in the middle of the room. Reaching into the small pack that he carried at his waist, he removed a lock picking kit. Listening carefully, he heard the tumblers activate, and chest popped open. "Exelent work Tremor. Now lets get this thing back to Head Quarters." The two turned around to head back to the entrance.

OOC: What are you waiting for? Stop them! Yes, I've decided to make this interactive. If you do find this, post in it, and PM me. You'll learn to hate the little organization. And for now, this will be an RP battle (because they're so much more fun).

Sovelis steped from behind a pillar. "HALT!" he shouted as he held his staff ready, prepared to do battle agianst this strage duo. "Give me that stone, and no one gets fried." Sovelis said, readying a fire spell from his scroll.

Doku turned, and faced the man. "Why do you oppose us? Have you any idea what we're doing here?" Tremor held the stone close, and eyed Sovelis. "Do you know what this stone even is?" Tremor hissed, looking at the stone he was holding. Holding it up in the air, he answered his own question, "Of course you dont know what it is! You wouldnt dare oppose us if you had a clue!" Although Doku's eyes were not visible, it was obviouse that he was glaring at the Tempest. "He seems confident." Doku said with a smirk. "This should be fun." Tremor nervously glanced at Doku. "Boss wants this delivered A.S.A.P. He wont wait forever you know..." Doku pointed to the exit. "You take the stone back to boss. I'll deal with this twerp." Tremor nodded, and headed for the door. Just before he dissapeared through the door, he called out, "Dont leave a corpse here Doku, Boss wants us to keep a low profile." Doku waved a hand in reassurance. "There wont be a corspe to find. His body will quickly rot away, just go!" Tremor dissapeared through the door. "Alright. Lets make this quick, that is, unless you want me to drag it out..." The man smiled, awaiting the Tempest to make a move.

OOC: You're screwed man

OoC: Is this stat or RP?

Sovelis leaned slightly on his staff. "I don't know what your here for, but that stone must be some artifact of power, am I correct?" he saide as he ran at his foe, staff in one hand, fire spell blazing in the other, " Burning in the depths of the pits of darkness, let the fires of hell take you, let the fires of hell become my sword and strike you down, SHA'HAL!!!" The fire spell was increasing in power as Sovelis launched it upon his foe.

OOC: Its RP. Did you read the first post?

IC:Doku snickered. "Alright, have it your way!" Doku took a few steppes back, and raised his hands to the charging tempest. Suddenly, small needles shoot from the tips of his fingers straight for the tempest.

Sovelis was taken back, his fire should have ingilfed the man and burned him alive, yet he had only steped back and atacked?!? "What on Earth are you?!?" Sovelis shouted as he tried to dodge the needles. One of them pierced his right shoulder, knocking him back and pinning him to the far wall. "Aaahhh!" he gasped in pain a he gripped the needle and tried to pull it out with his left hand. He snapped it off just above the skin and pulled himself off the wall, wincing as his shoulder bleed freely. Sovelis strugled to raise his right hand to throw a blast of power at his foe. "Wh-who the hell are you?" he aksed as he got his hand shoulder level and let a small volley loose on Doku.

Doku sneered. One needle was more than enough, and it had hit a nice little vein in Sovelis's shoulder. As he stood up, he dodged Sovelis's attacks with grace. "Heh. You think that needle was only to make you bleed?" The man crossed his arms, holding needles between every finger. "Each of these needles is filled with a poisonous toxin. It will take about ten minutes before you feel excruciating pain. And about 15 minutes before your limbs rot and fall off. After you're dead, I'll use another highly toxic venom to disolve your body where it rests." The man licked his lips in sheer malicious attempt. "For now, try all you might to inflict pain on me. You'll find that your movements are a bit impared." Doku began laughing maniacly, as he danced around the room.

OOC: I wouldnt worry Sovelis. These guys were designed to be powerful. I doubt that even the strongest of RPers could have overcome Doku alone.

"My body...then I won't use my body..." Sovelis said as he ripped his upper-robes off, showing exactly where he had been hit, right next to Sovel's seal. "An inch more, and we'd both be dead. Do yo know what this tatoo holds back? t holds a demon at bay, Let me show you, you say 10 minutes at least, this will be over in 5." Sovelis said as he began to open the seal, drawing deeply of the Demon's power. It rushed him like an avalance, threatening to crush him, yet filling him with a sweet feeling, but its darkness was a putrid feeling and taste everywhere. Sovelis's body was begining to change into a demon's. his automail fell out and a new demon arm grw in its place, its three huge clawed fingers flexed. (Think Nightmare from Soul Calibur 2&3) "I will make sure that if I die, so will you..." The demon-possesed Tempst said, smiling as his skin slowly became black as night, and his eyes filled with malicious hate that threatened to consume the mind and soul of him if he wasn't carefull....

Doku sensed the incredibly powerful aura emanting from the man, and yet still continued to smile maliciously. "Perhaps you dont understand. This is one of my weaker attacks. I could desolve your body in a fraction of a second with the poweful toxins within me." Suddenly, the man appeared to sweat violently. He looked as if he had just been dumped in a tank of water. The liquid ran down his face, and dripped off the tip of his nose. "If you attack me... you certainly will die." The man explained leaping up into the air, and landing on a protruding statue of a knight. "Now even in this new form... I dare you.

COME AT ME!!"

As the demoni skin finished covering Sovelis, he looked up at the man with his third new eye, a slit in his forehead that burned with malicious fire. I WILL DESTROY YOU, SO PRAY TO YOUR GODESSES AS YOU DIE!!! The now demonic Tempest roared as he lept at the man, fire pouring out of the demonic skin, enveloping Sovelis in a caprice of fire and demonic aura. He lashed out with a fist full of this potent mixture and let loose the full fury that had mad emporers tremble...

Doku's smile vanished, as his leapt into the air to avoid the oncomming fit of fury. It was too late to react, for the man was too fast. Doku was slammed, and he shot backwards, the stone wall cushioning his fall. Doku was all but happy. He hadn't been struck in a long time, and he was furious at having a blemish on his record. Doku suddenly knelt down, and something began to protrude out of his back! It cracked, and snapped, and made disgusting sounds until finally a long metal rod was sticking straight out of his back! It then seperated into six long thin rods , that housed a needle at the tip of each rod. "Heh... You made a small mistake about me... I DON'T HAVE ANY GODDESSES!!" He cried out, crawling up the wall, and launching out at Sovelis, needles extended in each direction...

Rasing his hand, fire lept from the gound to engulf Sovelis and burn the needles with their un-holy heat. YOU'll NEED BIGGER NEEDLES TO GET THROUGH THE FIRES OF THE VOID!he said as he threw more fire at Doku, the heat was stifling, and Sovelis was slowly weakening from the poison. Even in a half-demon body, the Tempest was slowly sucomming to the effects of Doku's first needle.

Doku was hit head on by the blast of fire, and he was flung backwards into the same wall he had just recovered from. Only this time, he caught himself with the help of the rods that jutted from his back. Using the rods to climb backwards up the wall, he shot many needles from his fingers, until he had reached the ceiling. Doku finally decided that he could not win this fight on senses alone, and the metal mask over his eyes made a few metalic sounds, before it opened up to reveal his blood-red eyes. "Everyone who has seen my eyes, has not lived to tell about it..." He hissed, as he opened his mouth, and shot a putrid yellow-green liquid straight for Sovelis. If this hits... Its all over for this warrior... Doku thought in satisfaction.

Seeing the spray of yellow liquid spew from Doku's mouth, Sovelis puled a stupid move. " SHO'PENG DO NARU!!!" he shouted as he made a sign with his hands, completing his Tempest spell. Several demonic Sovelis copies materialized. One jumped in the way of the spray, dieing as it did, and the other 6 all rushed up the walls towards Doku, flames oozing out of their skin like sweat.

Doku only smiled, as the spray instantly dissolved the copies, and headed straight for the Tempest himself. Meanwhile, he was able to fend off the clones with his horde of poisonous rods, the clones, dropping like flys. "You can do better than that can you not?" Doku spoke, this time a harsher tone. He was obviously not planning on dragging the fight on this long. He used the rods to manuver his way across the ceiling, until he was right overtop of Sovelis. At this very moment, while the man was still distracted by the oncomming toxin, the man hurled more from above his opponent. He was so sure of the man's capabilities, that he shot off the ceiling, bounced off the statue, and headed straight for the Tempest's back, making escape nearly impossible...
