Malice walked through the dark forest. He did not look over his shoulder in fear. Neither did he move quickly to get through. Yet, neither, did he draw any weapon, to attack or defend himself against the demons.
He was not one of them, but could very well have been. Where his burning gaze went, demons, from the weakest, to the most mighty, shrank away. There were few which could meet his awful gaze, and none dared challenge him.
And so it had been, for night on five hundred years. Few had dared challenge him, since the middle ages.
'And I have grown stronger,' he said, his voice a low, quiet hiss.
'Stronger than ever. Perhaps,' Malice mused.
He turned down an unmarked path, the plants dyeing before him, allowing him to make his own way.
He moved deeper into the forest of evil, his powers unimpeded. This area used death as its weapon.
He was death incarnate.

Adam saw something moving in the darkness. He wasn't sure what it was. He'd been in her once already and knew the types of beast that roamed this area. He jumped into the tree and tracked it following the path of death and the feeling of great power that it had left behind. Eventually his wish to kill overwhelmed him and he sprinted forward silently jumping from tree branch to tree branch. He threw three daggers at the being as he ran past it. He jumped out of the tree skidding to a halt blades drawn. He looked at being in front of him curiously.
"Are you another student" Adam asked never having seen this person before. However, he was ready to attack blades poised for a quick strike.

Malice had heard the child coming, and grinned a leering grin. Who was this, to come after such as he?
The daggers came, and he barley moved. The first glanced off the armour of his shoulder. The second buried itself within the folds of the worn, decaying cloak he wore.
The third, though, he caught in one bony, gauntleted hand.
In moments, the blade froye, cold as the being which heald it.
With little effort, the Death Knight snapped the blade, the shatteredf fragments raining down onto the ground.
'A student?' he asked. Then, he laughed. A terrible, low, gurgling laugh, like a plauge bubbling up from the creature's lungs.
'Nay,' he said at last, 'Your little academy is built apon where I fell, so many centuries ago.'
Malice drew forth no weapon. Instead, he mearly began to advance on the students. His eyes, twin balls of fire, growing in siye and intensity, a leering grin on his skull.

Adam merely stared at the being and yawned. This being was stronger than he was and he knew it if he fought there was a high probability of death. However, he stared death in the face day after day and that didn't frighten him and neither did this creature. Adam had no emotions so he never felt fear, rage, remorse, love, nothing at all. He smiled he knew if the creature managed to touch him he was most likely going to be a rotting corpse the next time anyone from the school saw him. He drew his two swords and started the creature straight in the eyes taking a defensive stance and ready to defend himself.

"What ever you are, I will not run nor do I plan on dying in this God foresaken forest. I feel no fear so your intimidation techniques do nothing to phase me. If you wish to turn tail and run because that is your only defence then do so otherwise prepair to fight." Adam could'nt use his powers in this wood so would have to rely on his training which suited him fine after all that was the reason he trained in these woods.

'You do not run,' the Death Knight hissed, 'Yet, you plan not to die. One is foolish, the other, wishful thinking. It is death to face me, boy. You have not even two decades on this our Earth. Hardly enough time to become anything resembling skilled.'
He stopped some three or four yards from him.
'I, though, have centuries. My sword is stained with the blood of those I have killed. Four centuries and more...is a long, long time to hone your skills.'
He grinned, a ghastly grin.
'However, your courage is honorable.'
Reaching down with his right hand, he drew forth a longsword, black and silver.
'The Sword of the Damned,' Malice told him. 'This sword has taken the lives of countless. A demons sword, origonally. One of Lucifer's own leutenents wielded it. Now, it is in my hand. And four hundred years...has given me tim...to learn its powers...'
Taking his eyes from the blade, Malice looked back to the boy.
The sword, in an instant, released a red glow, an aura surrounding it, and the hand which wielded it.
'I salute you for your courage,' Malice told the boy, 'But, today, you shall know fear.'

"Fear is a mere eletrical release in the mind promting the release of adrenaline which can cloud the jugdement of a combatant. I have never had such an eletrical release and I doubt I ever will. My hands too are stand with blood of those I have killed, admittedly I have not had as long a time on this here earth but, that doesn't mean I haven't developed skills. Of course attacking you first we be stupid. For one I haven't seen your skills or style so wouldn't know what to suspect, two although you appear to have limited mobility I can not be certain until you attack. So hurry up and strike so I can say I defeated the spector that roams these words which are a kin to my soul."

'Not all can be explained by science. Look at myself.'
He chuckled his gurgling chuckle again.
'I have been here since these trees were but saplings, boy. They were my grounds, long before the lord decided to create you and your line. And here I end it.'
Malice did not attack with his sword. Rather, he raised one hand, one finger on that hand.
His eyes glowed darker.
'These woods hold no sway over me, nor my powers. The inhabitants fear me, as men of yore feared the plauge and the whip. This is my ground, you fight on.'
Those words he spoke, before a wave of energy surged forth, an extension of Malice's being.
'And your remains, shall feed the worms of this forest, once I have drained it of life.'

Adam's merely smiled the prospect of death had never frightened him, in fact he drew strength from the fear of others seeing it in there eyes merely made him stronger. He looked at the being quizzically and dodged the energy with ease yawning as if it was nothing. The darkness around him gave him an idea. He jumped into a tree and danced from branch to branch tree to tree dodging around the being. The best way to face a stronger opponent was to evade, dodge and counter and that was what Adam was doing waiting for it to strike again.

Malice watched passivley as the boy dodged his attack.
'You mearly prolong the inevitable,' he told the youngster, watching as he leapt into the trees.
'Make this easy on yourself, and give in. Or run, for those are your only options.'
He waited a few moments, until the boy was where he wanted him.
Then, extending all five fingers, he brought them down in a diagonal slash. It was the same attack, but five times larger, coming from in front of and above the boy.

'Got you' Adam thought as the attack was launched he dropped straight down avoidin the strikes in front and above him. He dashed towards the creature and slashed at it three times, knowing before he did so each slash would only do minimal damage but, man small injuries can be more devastating than one big one. He jumped into the trees and continued to dodge aroung waiting for his next strike.

Below, Malice grinned slightly. Coming within range of the Death Knight was a bad, bad idea.
Expertly, he raised his sword, blocking the first attack. The second was deflected by the armour on his shoulder.
The third, though, was the worst.
Malice caught the blade in his hand, preventing the boy from leaping away. Now, he would either lose the blade to go to the trees, or he would risk being cut down by Malice's sword, which he stabbed forward with.

Adam drew one of his two remaining blades deflecting the creatures strike and swiped at it's leg before sending a crushing blow to it's stomach. It could either let go of his blade and aviod the strikes or get hit forcing him to let go either way. Adam wasn't going to let this being have one of his weapons even if he did have several others to defend himself with. It was the principle of the thing. If he let go the creature would have a minor victory over him and Adam wasn't going to allow that.

Malice drew his blade away, and backed up several paces, out of the reach of the sword, blocking the two to his legs with one sweep of his blade, and sidestepping the blow to his torso..
The one he had grasped, now had cracks all along it, from where his cold touch had warped it beyond its bounds.
"Your petty struggles...begin to annoy me," he told the lad, the tip of his blade in the ground.
"Sooner or later, you shall tire. You mortals need rest...I do not, am allowed none."

ooc- hey there, slow down with your attacks. if you have one sword to use, go with one attack with it.

OOC: For a technique to hit you have to throw a combination because the first strikes probabilty of actually hitting in this case is probably between 0 and 1%. But if you insist.

IC: Adam stared as his blade was broken. "Interesting that's quite an ability you have there friend. The cold grip of death itself." Adam jumped back and kicked the blade breaking it. He the stuck the hilt in its sheath. He looked at the creature and then jumped forward slashing at it's head before rolling away standing and launching a second attack at the beings mid drift because he could see his first had failed. Skidding to a halt out of it reach Adam turned and surveyed the damae he'd done if any.

ooc- I'd be surprised if you've ever actually heald a real sword. The bastards are more than a little heavy. The sheer weight kinda keeps you from doing a combo.

Malice easily ducked below the blow aimed for his head.
He did not, though, even bother to get away from the blow to his armoured middle.
The blow simple bounced off, leaving not even a scratch.
"Foolish boy," he hissed. "Your simple weapons cannot penetrate my armour. Forged in the bowels of hell, and colled by the tears of the suffering. No man made weapon can hope to harm me."
He just stood there.
"Last chance, boy. I've been playing. You continue this foolishness, and I shall give no mercy."

She had just awoken from her nap."what's all that racket she said rubbing her eyes watching to what seemed to be a gruesome event ready to unfold.Turning into a wolf she steadily sat up digging her claws into the tree bark.Her sensitive hearing and sight came in handy in the dark forest afterall. Her ears twitch as some one says no manmade weapon can harm him. hm. Show offy jerk she muttered abit to loudly.

OOC: Actually I have and what you've got to bear in mind that different swords have different weights and that my characters been training his whole life in the use of such weapons.

IC: Adam stared and smiled. He knew when he was beat. He sheathed his blade and bowed to knight. "You are a worthy opponent and I look forward to fighting with you in the future. It's been ahes since I've found someone that can best me." He walked up to the death knight and held out his left hand to shake the knights. "Hopefully next time we meet I will be a more worthy opponent for you. I am sure your true skills are quite impressive."

Huh?....So there was a battle going on and I missed it. Jumps off the tree landing on all fours. Snarling growling and barking were heard from me As I spoke in wolf tounge:Don't worry kid everything has a weakness you'll find it.!
But it sounded like man angry creature ready to attack or kill.

Adam heard the beast turning to look at it. "Well, well what do we have here." He turned from the knight and looked at the creature. "Well it looks like I'll be spilling some blood today after all." He sprinted off towards the wolf flicking his wrist a knife sliding into his palm. Gripping it tightly he made a swift slash at the creatures neck hoping to see the blood leak from a cut. "I'll be having fun with this one. It won't just die, it'll bleed to death if I have my way." He slashed at the beast twice more staying on his toes sprinting towards it and passed it with each strike staying out of range of it's claws and fangs.

Malice looked to the young man.
"Yes," he agreed. He did not shake hands. Such a thing would be...unhealthy for the lad.
"It has been long since I have battled. For such a fight, I spare your life, today."
That grace, showed that Malice still had some humanity in him.
"Now, get you gone, before I decide to change my mind."
Malice's eyes widened, or rather, intensified, when he heard the growling.
He turned, his grisley gaze turning to the wolf.
He grinned, and gave a gurgling growl of his own.

Adam looked down at the girl and a smile crossed his face. He could kill her here and no one would know. The dagger came down dangerously close to the girls throat. Then he shook his head. "You'rre lucky you're a student otherwise I would have killed you. It has been too long since I've killed and you were easy prey. However, considering you're what I may refer to as a class mate I can't kill you because if what I done was discovered I'd get kicked out and more than likely thrown in jail. However, don't delude yourself. If the orders to sanction you come through your days will be limited." He bent down and picked her up. Where his left hand connected she would have felt a sudden cold where as his right a sudden warmth though now where near as much a change as his left hand. He hoisted her over his shoulders and headed out of the dark forest. "I look forward to meeting you again." He shouted back at knight.

Adam thought for a moment as he placed the girl on the floor. "If you weren't a student you'd be dead already it's rare that I let anything I strike once live, it's only the fact that you're a student at the school that I permitted you to live. as for my name, that is something I am not willing to divuldge to a potential target. I didn't use any technique back there in the Dark Forest. I just used the combat style I have created from all the ones I have been taught. If you are referring to the fact that my right hand has a higher than normal body temp or the fact that the temperature of the flesh I touched with my left hand dropped by about two degrees celcius that's because each arm controls a different element. Right is fire and left is ice. Before youe ask why I didn't use my powers against hte Death Knight, that is because the powers of students are stripped from themin th Dark Forest. Does that sufficently answer your questions." Adam's face remained grim and emotionless throughout the time he said this the Yang part of his birthmark on his forehead was prominent. He turned and continued to walk out of the forest.

"That is understandable." she said.
"You ARE a powerful fighter by the way.but for what ever it's worth to you.....everything has a weakness...EVERYTHIN.For fire there is Ice and Yin is Yang or vice versa." "his armor has ONE flaw I noticed it when you two battled.And as for what you said earlier.It does strip you of your powers.But what I have is not a power that is learned.It is what I was born with.so my power as you like to call it is not affected by this forest...Which is why I can still change into a wolf at whim..." walks with him as a wolf.

"I have no weakness. The biggest weakness in the humans, metas, etc, s their emotions. I have no emotions hence have no weakness. As for Yin and Yang theory, I was designed to have power over all the elements where as one part of me may be weakened by an element another will be strengthened. I have been trained my entire life to kill and I can do so quick and efficiently. I feel no remorse, regret, anger, nothing. The only reason I did not kill you like I said it would have inconvienanced me. Now unless you can think of anything else may I suggest you remain keep your thoughts to yourself otherwise I may decide to skin you alive, whether as a wolf or a human I don't care." Adam continued walking as he said this no emotions registering in his voice or facial expressions. It was as if he had a heart of steel and as cold as ice.

She just chuckled it was all she could do.
"Well your lucky to have that type of

"I never underestimate an opponenet. If I had he would have killed me. I was gauging his skills when I struck. I knew when I first saw him he was going to be a strong opponent and I was most definately the underdog. As for who he was, I'm guessing a Death Knight or something similar. A Dead Knight cursed to roam the place of his death for all eternity." Adam continued on, he had known the Knight could have killed him easily but, why hadn't he. In the legends he had heard about such beings the more they killed the closer they came to moving on but, then again, that may be why it was called a legend.

"House, I'm in Suzaku too. Not that I spend a lot of time in my room. It's just a place to sleep and store my equipment I prefer being out here. I have to train to get better and become the best. Only the fittest survive in this world and I don't plan on being one of the small fish that gets killed by everything and anything. I will be strong and defeat all who stand in my path." Adam's ears remainded pricked and his eyes constantly scanned the forest around them for danger and another battle.

"And I know you will succeed because just by looking at you I can tell you are that determined and when you do get stronder you are going to challenge Mr.Legend again and hopefully defeat him?am I right?"

"You can not defeat someone that is already dead. You can only fight to survive because eventually he will defeat you. He doesn't tire and can not be killed. The best I could do would issue him a challange like an hour long duel. If I survive the hour then he lets me live. Although I look forward to sparring with him again." Adam nimble lept into the trees and walked along the low branches. His sense of balance was excellent but, nothing inhuman. He yawned as he walked.

A demon ran across their path. The poor thing was harmless but, he didn't care. He jumped down sending two knives out that embedded in its feet making it almost impossible to move. Drawing his good blade he made four quick slashes and it's limbs fell to the ground the poor thing was squealing in pain. He smiled and slashed it some more before walking off leaving it alive, however, it would most certainly bleed to death. A small grim was on his face now slightly spattered with the demons blood.

Adam looked at the demon and yawned. It faultered, this was the first time something had shown no sign of fear, anger, a battle instinct nothing towards it. Adam simple pulled a 9mm pistol out of one of his shoulder holsters and shot it in it's massive eye, the black talon ammo piecing the eye with ease. Adam then drew his one of his two remaining good blades and slashed at its legs so that it came tumbling down.

"I believe we should leave, these may merely be small fry but, I'd rather not get stuck in a position where we can't escape and can't win."

"Weak they may be, but, the more we killer the more we attract the stronger Demons, and I don't think if we get surrounded at that point that we'd survive. You stay if you like, I'm not in the business of preserving lives. I'm in the business of depriving people of their breathing rights." He sheathed his blade and continued to walk on. He didn't care if the girl followed or not. If she did and they got in trouble, he could always sacrafice her.

Adam turned and looked at the wolf. "Let me guess, you're another of Death's pets right. I said I'm in the business of depriving people of their breathing rights. In other words I kill them then your Master collects their souls. Oh and how many minions of death are there. I've met a cat, a vulture and for some strange reason a goldfish." Adam looked at the beast unafraid. After all he had seen Death himself many a time so why should he worry.

"I wasn't directing anything at your friend. I merely state the truth. I kill for a living and I can't get hung up saving some girl who gets herself caught up in a battle with demons." Adam just stared at Massecre and yawned. "I have no emotions so, if you try to intimidate me it won't work. Oh and strictly speaking considering I was created in a lab, I'm outside of all but Death himself's duristicion. Hence, that means you couldn't kill me."
