"...but I will stop you."
[b]Leech reaches over her shoulder and grips one of the three swords on her back.[/b]
"My name is Alice Long. If I am going to die, I'd at least like to know yours."
English
-
The forms coming out of the fog were finally complete. They were exact copies of Aries, each brandishing a sword. " Earn that knowledge."
-
"In that case, it's your move Coward."
-
" Coward..... That's interesting."
-
"When you hide behind copies of yourself and not fight me yourself, Cowardice. I should know, I once did the same."
-
" There is a difference between cowardice, and strategy. You're a Dark Guardian as well. I can sense it. I'd do myself no good just throwing myself at you. So I'll test your strength first."
-
"Fine then. You get to summon your army, I get to summon mine." [b]She clicks the covers off each of the swords, letting them rest idly in their sheaths. She lowers her hands to her side and cracks her neck.[/b]
-
" The problem with that is...." The clones all disappeared. So did the real one. "... It's already over." Aries was behind her, with a sword drawn directly in front of her neck.

-
" Oh how the tables have turned...." He said with an amused tone. " Well. Attack while you have the advantage."
-
Edited by MegaBeast42: 12/9/2015 4:38:10 AM"No." [b]They all say at once. Then one steps forward and speaks.[/b] "I told you, I am not going to fight you, only stop you." [b]The one with the Sword to it's neck speaks now.[/b] "What I told you was the truth. I hate fighting, I hate unnessessary war. That's what drives me. To stop the split between light and dark." [b]She turns around to face Aries, the blade dragging along tough material.[/b] "By the way, I'm not a Dark Guardian. Neither am I Light." [b]Its now that Aries can clearly see her eyes. One white silver and the other very dark blue.[/b]
-
" You hate unnecessary war? Look around you. All of this is thanks to unnecessary war. It is what causes the Light and the Dark to be split. There is no grey zone. You pick a side. Or you perish. People learned that the day the Great Collapse occurred. The Fallen learned it. The Hive learned it. The Vex learned it. The Cabal learned it. We learned it. Unnecessary war doesn't exist. War is always necessary."
-
"No, I don't believe that. Choices can always be made, no matter what side. It's just people's pride that gets in the way." [b]The decoys disappear, leaving only the real Leech standing right in front of Aries left.[/b] "For example, the entire time I was talking to you about stopping and talking to me, instead of doing whatever it was you were doing. What do you choose to do? You threaten me. You abuse me. You eventually succeed in trapping me. For what? Because I stood up to you? Because I questioned you?" "Being strong enough to kill someone with ease doesn't give you permission to be a jerk and stop over everyone. It means being there to help other people become stronger by being a role model others look up to." [b]She shrugs.[/b] "But hey, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm delusional. If you think I am, kill me." "I mean, as you said, war is nesscesary, right?"
-
" You certainly are delusional. But you remind me of someone long ago. So I'll accept your request from earlier. " The sword in his hand disappeared. Aries took a few steps back. " My name is Aries."
-
[b]Leech raises a pad to look at then shows Aries.[/b] "Look at that, it just hit three minutes." [b]She smiles, then holds out her hand to shake.[/b] "A pleasure to make your acquaintance Aries."
-
He doesn't move. " We're not friends."
-
"That's why I said acquaintance. Anyway, thanks for the talk. I've probably taken up a lot of your time by now, so I'll leave you be." [b]She lowers her hand and takes three steps back.[/b] "Oh, and if you ever want me, just say the word Lokumi three times in a row. Anyway, see ya round." [b]She says, then falls off the edge of the cliff, leaving Aries alone at last. [/b]
-
".... Lokumi, Lokumi, Lokumi...?" Aries didn't expect anything to happen with that. Now that he was alone though, his mind drifted off towards other thoughts, a habit he has taken up several times now.
-
[b]You feel a presence behind you.[/b] "You called Aries?"
-
He was caught off guard, and he snapped back to the present. " I didn't expect that to work to be honest..." As he stood there silently for a few seconds, he remembered something that had caught his attention about the Guardians earlier. " Why did you let yourself be captured by those Guardians?"
-
"Who? Me?" [b]Lokumi says, standing up from its position on the ground.[/b] "Or do you mean my lovely partner Leech who just threw herself off a cliff?" [b]Lokumi stands at 6'5, wearing a long dark robe that seems to emit darkness. The entirety of its skin is covered by material or fabric, with it's face being covered by a round mask with two horns on it curved upwards. There a no eye sockets or holes to see out of.[/b] "Oh, I'm sure you mean Alice, yes? Well, her and I had a plan to get into the tower and do some stuff, but don't worry, she just got herself captured with the help of a Guardian named Mal."

Edited by IXMMISmokey: 12/9/2015 9:14:38 PM" Several entities mashed into one..... Uncommon but not unheard of." [b]You should know what that feels like. Why did you let those Guardians live? The Hive hunger for their Light.[/b] The voice was inside of Aries' head, but he ignored it. It had plagued him for what seemed a century, but he had grown accustomed to it. For now, Aries ignored it, focusing only on the person in front of him.
-
[b]Lokumi is the only one in front of him.[/b] "Yes, well, it's a long story if you do actually want to hear it, but I doubt it since your only her 'acquaintance' right?" "So, you called me. What would you like to know?"
-
" Where does your allegiance lie?"
-
"With myself. Leech is herself, a few others themselves. When I say partners we are actually partners."
-
Edited by IXMMISmokey: 12/9/2015 9:22:50 PM[b]Ignore me if you will, but the Thief, the Soldier, and the Enlightened one are coming after one of your shades at the European Deadzone.[/b] Aries now payed attention to the voice. He spoke out loud, without realising it. " So he's going to try it again? The final battle is about to begin...."
