Clash of Forces: Xanos Laike vs Rekcil Sisemen Etamitlu

[DarkScorpion]

Standing upon a desolate plain ravaged with chaotic destuction, Rekcil stands upon a once vibrant world full of life now filled completely with death. It would be obvious to any that came upon this world that it did not stand a chance against the force that just swept through it like a destructive wind.

Rekcil stands motionless and silent as though it were waiting in the cold silence of the realm. It has been a long time waiting, and now the wait is over. With a brief thought in its dark mind, Rekcil makes a call across the infinate realms of all existence, a call that could not be ignored, a call to Xanos Laike.

Xanos, no matter where he was within existence, would hear the call of an old foe. Rekcil knew very well that Xanos would come, knowing it was their usual Danse Macabre. Xanos would never run, always showing a driven determination to destroy this very beast whom seems to have become a living nightmare to all of existence, and its unholy child whom threatens the very being of all existence.

To Xanos, Rekcil would be very different and in a way he would not know how, but would know that it would be far from a good thing. Xanos knows this creature all to well. It has also been ages sinces he last felt its presence as though it had completely vanished from all that was, is, and will ever be. Xanos would know that the creature vanishing once and for all without a fuss would be deadly wrong, knowing full well it would be back once again.

In truth, Rekcil was present the entire time, continuing its rampaging carnage upon countless realms, but keeping its energies low enough as it grew to something more sinister then had been known before. Now was the time to call forth and bring upon a battle that has been long waiting in the shadows of time.

 

[Xanos Laike]

And so it begins...

Having been relaxing near the quaint serenity of the forest river upon a falling tree, reading a small book that he had carried with him wherever he went he had flicked through a couple of pages before looking up from the book to the trees as he smiled lightly. his emerald green eyes looking lazily through the tree tops for a few moments

*Hmm...its been a while since I have relaxed in such a way, no?*

He chuckled lightly to himself and nodded once more before returning to the book, shifting his weight around from time to time as he drew in a deep breath and let it out slowly, fixing his cloak about his being before returning to his book. A few moments later he had found himself slumbering in between consciousness and phantasia as he snored lightly, his mind trying to discern wether the dreams he was having were real or not. having heard the call of the dark daemon known as Rekcil as his eyes shot open quickly and found himself in a cold sweat, gasping heavily as he looked around with heightened senses as he regained where he was at and closed his emerald green eyes tightly. sliding a hand to his head as he let his head rest in his hand.

*Oh man...was that a dream? or was it real?*

Speaking quietly to himself as he sniffled slightly and wiped his brow of sweat with the hem of his cloak before moving and taking the book that he had in his lap back into his hand and went to place it back into his sack at his side underneath his cloak when he heard the call of Rekcil once more, freezing place as he went wide eyed. every cell on his body literally came to a stand still as his color had faded from his complexion.

*Oh no...this....this cant be, No way!*

He dragged in a deep yet ragged breath as he looked around quickly and stood slowly, his emerald green eyes darting around frantically as he tried to figure out where the call was coming from before standing straight and closing his emerald green eyes slowly. concentrating for a moment before catching the source of the call and opening his eyes as he looked straight into the sky.

*There you are! I found you!*

And with that said he crouched slightly and leapt into the air a good few hundred feet before starting to hover in place, the air about his being beginning to crackle and spark with streaks of black electricity. whispers of pale white begin circulate his being erratically, increasing with each passing moment until it began to envelope his being completely. the aura radiating upwards as the air around him continued to spark and crackle with the threads of black electricity but having increased in volume and tenacity as it began to lash out a few feet from his being, his emerald green eyes narrowed as his jetblack cloak and long silver hair whipped lightly in the breeze that began to pick up with force as dirt and dust began to swirl into the air below him. reaching up to him before spreading out and falling back to the ground only to start the cycle over again. the dirt funnel then came to a slow halt as did the rustling of the trees and the movement of the clouds and rivers, all life came to a sudden halt as he smirked somewhat and literally blasted off into the heavens at such a speed that would make light speed a laughing joke as he literally crossed into a different realm all completely. Time as he had left in a stand still returned to normal as the effects of his travel had caused a rift in time and space, almost like that of a black hole as the wind was now rushing to fill the space he had tore. dust, debris, whole trees, various animals, water, clouds and anything else within a five mile radius of his exit was sucked into the rift to try and fill the void. a mass of destruction literally left his wake. A moment later he had appeared in a knelt position in the desolate wasteland that the Demonic prescence Rekcil had ravaged and stood slowly, his silver hair and jetblack cloak whipping about his being violently due to the winds sweeping the desolate plains. narrowing his emerald green eyes to look towards the dark being in the distance as he stood straight and let out a slight growl, a smirk coming to his lips as he stared towards Rekcil.

*I thought I had rid the realms of your essence...but it would seem my job goes unfinished...*

He spoke with a loud enough tone that he knew Rekcil would hear him amongst the penetrating wind

*But this is going to be it foul demon...I should have finished you when I had chance back in Racoon City, I wont make that mistake here...I know that you have gotten stronger...well, your not the only one...I just hope that I didnt disappoint an old aquaintence...*

He chuckled loudly as he crossed his arms over his chest as he continued to hold the smirk upon his lips, confident that his abilities had grown and matured to the desired level that would be needed to even survive this conflict between him and Rekcil. he had spent the time, that Rekcil lay dormant, training and honing his blade and sharpening its edge...now it was the time to wield it and pray that his blade was sharp enough to face the wrath of Rekcil, praying that he was strong enough this time to eradicate the essence once and for all.

*It makes me wonder though...why are you here all by yourself? Where is Letum?*

 

[DarkScorpion]

Rekcil’s eyes were closed the entire duration when Xanos arrived in the realm, the nightmarish beast sensing the familiar presence of its long-time old foe. The hideous creature stood there motionless with no visible reaction to the presence of Xanos, remaining disturbingly calm as its eyes remained closed. Its arms hung loosely by its side, the edges of its talons gleaming in the faint light revealing their deadly sharpness. Rekcil did not make a single audible sound, any snicker, sneer, not even its usual smirk upon its gruesome face. Visually to Xanos this was something different about the beast he had fought so many times before.

Stories of their encounters together whispered among the winds within the realms of existence, the realms in which both forces collided against each other in brutal combat. Their battles rang throughout all existence loudly with each encounter, leaving the very boundaries vibrating from each powerful blow that each struck upon one another. Each battle had left so much destruction behind, the very wounds within each realm visited barely healed from the chaos that had birched their boundaries.

To every part of Xanos’s senses, it would seem as though the beast did not get any stronger since their last encounter ages ago, and Xanos growing much stronger during that time. Could the beast known as Rekcil finally peaked at full power and not get any stronger? Could there be a good chance that Xanos will finally be able to destroy this monstrosity that has been plaguing all existence? This coming battle will tell if all that seemed to be is true.

Rekcil listened to Xanos’s question about Letum, answering him with a visual image sent telepathically so Xanos could grasp the full picture of what was transpiring across other realms, a nightmare that could possibly be far worse than what Xanos had anticipated. The vision could be extremely disturbing to any that could see it, yet it was truthfully a hellish nightmare to any that has, is, and will be experiencing it. The vision was of the creature’s loathsome child leading a vast army throughout the infinite realms of existence, swathing a path of chaotic, unmerciful destruction in their wake. The army itself comprised of an unfathomable number of creatures, many that were unrecognizable within all existence as though they were from a completely existence altogether. The creatures themselves varied in sizes, shapes, and types, each with their own deadly destructiveness. The size of the army seemed as though every creature from an entire existence had spilled forth and sweeping across all that is as though it were a deadly plague. There were only a very tiny percentage of the creatures that were recognizable from being from this existence, creatures that had sided with Letum and the Dark Army. The army itself seemed to be flowing through a massive tear upon the very border of existence, pouring forth from the void of Oblivion and into all creation. The army spanned across countless realms, destroying all in its path as it marched the march of death, destruction, and chaos. Their destination obvious to Xanos, throughout the remaining realms within all existence to find the one realm that remained hidden from them for the time being, the same realm which stood Nikolai’s Library and the gaping wound that lead to the very beating heart of all existence. Xanos would know all too well why the army’s and particularly Letum’s direction would be forth this very realm, to bring the end of all existence and banishing it forevermore to the void of all Oblivion. The vision now ending would possibly replay in Xanos’s mind hauntingly if he so thought about it.

With the vision, it would be apparent that standing between Xanos and this army and Letum was Rekcil itself, meaning that Rekcil would have to be finally destroyed before Xanos could attempt to stop Letum and the vicious army. Could Xanos handle the pressure of the weight that was just now placed upon his shoulders, adding to that which was already there for a time so long already?

After the vision ceased, Rekcil started to walk toward its adversary with a chilling calm demeanor. The nightmarish beast’s eyes remained closed and would remain so till it decided it would be time to open them, its arms still loosely by its side. Its talons slowly moving as though it were working the muscles within its deadly clawed hands, warming them up for the coming battle. The hideous creature made its way across the devastated landscape till it finally reached the distance of twenty yards where it finally stopped, casually moving its right arm forward slightly, and motioning with its talon’ed hand for Xanos to make the first move and starting once again their all to familiar Danse Macabre once again.

 

[Xanos Laike]

His smirk fading from his lips as his expression was now one of dire seriousness as he could feel that something was not right about his long time foe, narrowing his emerald green eyes slightly as his mind was then filled with the images of the one known as Letum. then going wide eyed as he gasped loudly upon seeing the vast army of darkness that had gathered and was marching towards the realm of Nikolais library, shaking his head as he unknowingly took a saddle stance as his hands were clenched loosely into fists.

*No...it cannot be...*

Blinking quickly as he shook the mental image of the dark army and letum from his mind and gritted his teeth tightly

*...I should have felt such a prescense, such a massive collection of dark forces...*

His words strained as he stressed to calm himself down, his fists now clenched tightly and were shaking slightly from the sheer angst of his own ignorance and obliviousness, then drawing in a deep breath and letting out slowly as he quickly relaxed his hands and stood straight. his emerald green eyes staring towards Rekcil*

*Hmm...it would seem that I have more at stake than I thought...*

Shaking his head slightly as he closed his emerald green eyes slowly

*...The time for words has come to an end, I know now what I must do and what must been done...Rekcil, you are going down for good this time...*

Opening his emerald green eyes as they showed a new tenacity and resolve, staring towards his advancing opponent as he slid his hands to the nape of his cloak and undid the very ties that held it about his being. ripping it from him quickly as he tossed the cloak to the side, his body clad in a large pair of clean, black Tripp jeans, jetblack airspeed sneakers and a silk, silver long sleeved shirt but something was odd this time as he wasnt going into the battle with the usual gunblade that he carried as he opted not to carry it upon his being this time. then watching the foul daemon come to a halt no less than twenty yards from him as he remained in his saddle stance as he began to bring his arms from his side to a cross pattern in front of his face, hunching over slightly as he clenched his hands tightly into fists before dragging them quickly to his sides as a massive shockwave shoot into the air about his being. Yelling loudly for a moment as his hair began to weave and sway lightly into the air as a light breeze began to spill forth from his being, slight whisps of pale white energy begin to flow across his being slightly.

*I should have you know...the last time we fought at my strongest, that is my base...*

He smirked evilly before grimacing and throwing himself into slight arc as he yelled loudly, the ground caving in slightly underneath his being as a series of chockwaves were sent rippling through the air. the whisps of pale white energy burst forth into a fierce aura of radiating energy. his clothes and hair rippling about in the air as he hovered a foot or two off of the ground as he stood yelling and looked back to Rekcil, leaning forward slightly as he then launched himself towards Rekcil with an amazing blur of speed. stretching his leg out towards the dark daemon as he hoped to catch the being in the chest with the side kick, his power at the time was something new for the daemon due to their time apart but he also knew himself that the daemon had to have something up its sleeve as it always did during their many encounters.

 

[DarkScorpion]

Rekcil’s calm demeanor as it stood there did not change as it “watched” with its senses as the creature’s eyes still remained closed. It felt and saw the building energies within its long time foe, seeing how much Xanos had grown in strength since their last encounter. Would it truly be enough to finally dispose of the vile beast since it does not seem itself has not grown in power during the time that had passed, or was there something that Xanos himself could not feel about the malicious creature?

The beast’s body did not waver nor budge from the charging energies released forth by its own powerful nemesis, nor did it show any reaction as Xanos launched himself into the air toward the hideous being. Rekcil’s chest was struck true by the kicked sent forth, causing to send it flying through the air and smashing into a nearby mountain, its body sinking deeply into the compact mound. When struck, its eyes remained closed and silence still flowed from the creature as though this did not hurt a single bit. A moment later upon impact into the mountain, the mountain itself collapses with Rekcil standing in the center of the pile. The middle of its chest where it was struck revealed the damaged received by the kick, damage that was slowly being fixed by the creature’s own regenerative nature. Rocks and debris being pushed out from tiny wounds upon its bio-metallic armor known as its exoskeleton, that for some strange reason seems weaker then their last encounter. What could all this mean to Xanos? Could it truly be weaker then what it was before? What had happened to the beast during the time since they last fought?

The nightmarish beast calmly walked out of the rubble that was once a massive mountain, once again making its approach toward Xanos, eyes still closed upon its calm face. Rekcil stopped once more this time the distance of thirty feet, and once again motioning with its slightly outstretched arm for Xanos to make his move once again. What is this nightmarish creature doing? This is far different from how it behaved previously, always on the non-merciful attack, ready to rip its foe to shreds even in a malicious playful manner. Could it truly be delaying Xanos from what was happening in the other realms? Could Letum truly be closer to Nikolai’s realm and the library that what was shown? The only thing that would be certain to Xanos was that he could not leave here until he finally destroyed Rekcil once and for all.

 

[Xanos Laike]

*Letting out a loud grunt of exhertion as he slammed his foot into Rekcils chest with not even a sliver of his true strength, watching Rekcil soar into a nearby mountain and smirked as he watched it crumble upon the daemon as he slowly brought himself to the spot where Rekcil had been standing and continued to watch the mountain crumble*

Hmm...

*he narrowed his emerald green eyes out of curiousity as he thought that this was seeming to be way to easy as he flexed his hands into tight fists for a few moments before letting them relax as he watched the dust settle, a moment later his his assumption was correct as he could make out the being Rekcil standing in the midst of the now cumbled mountain. Letting out a soft growl as he dropped into another stance to ready himself for the daemons attack as he had a feeling thats what were to happen but he could have found himself further from the truth than ever. Seeing the daemon as he watched its chest push out the fragments of rock and debris due to its regenrative nature, gritting his teeth tightly as he watched Rekcil begin to make his way towards his being and clenched his hands tightly into fists as whisps of pale white aura began to waver about his being from time to time*

What is this damned daemon up to now? Its never acted this way before...

*speaking silently to himself as he watched rekcil come to a slow halt no more than thirty feet from his being, watching the daemon motion for him to come for it once more as he blinked and wondered for a moment. almost hesitating as he found himself dumb founded for a moment before closing his eyes for a few seconds before opening them slowly and looking back towards the daemon, slipping out of his stance as he stood to his full height of six feet two inches. his hands hanging at his sides in a relaxed manner as his long silver hair whipped about somewhat in the breeze*

I know what your trying to do...your trying to wear me down...

*speaking with a loud clear tone as his hands clenched slowly into tight fists and his legs slid apart somewhat to take a stance of balance*

But its not going to work...I am going to show you the extent of my training, and I promise...it wont even take half of my true strength to take care of this...

*he gritted his teeth tightly as he hunched over slightly, letting out a groaning grunt of exhertion as the air about them suddenly lifted and settled down. a deathly calm sweeping over the desolate land as nothing moved. his body tremoring slightly as he continued to grunt and groan out of exhertion as veins began to pop up on his hands, arms, neck and forehead*

This...will...eyah...be the end, of your existance!!

*speaking with a strained tone before drawing in a deep breath and letting out a yell that echoed out loudly over the land, his fists slowly opening into slightly opened palms as his fingers were tensed. the whisps of white aura now becoming more frequent and visible, his hair and clothing whipping about his being lightly as a light breeze began to emenate from his being as his power was being pushed to a new height due to his training over the years. his body then relaxing as streaks and ribbons of magenta hued electricity began to dance over the aura as he still remained in the same posture*

Lets party...

*he said with a malicious smile as he then drew in another deep breath and let it out in an outraged yell as the air let out a loud crackle of thunder followed by several shockwaves as the aura about his being reacted with an ferocious outburst as the ground beneath him suddenly sunk in a few feet as he hovered in the air. then arching immediatly out of his stance as he let out a sigh of relief, the air still hung in suspense as the slight sound of his aura whispering into the air was the only thing that could be heard. smirking slightly as the realm came back into action as the wind picked up, a few moments later the wind had died and left the land silent once more only to be disturbed with a low quake that soon began to grow in intensity. the ground splitting and spreading apart as juts of rock and stone began to slip out of the ground rapidly, geysers of dirt and ash being shot into the air only to be followed by geysers of magma and pyroclastic ash. the result of him pushing his powers to somewhere near half way as it seemed to literally rip apart the plane they were on*

Ahh...thats much better...now, where were we? Oh yes...

*he then launched himself with an amazing burst of speed that was definately new to rekcil, having literally slipped in and out of realms as he appeared to the side of Rekcil and moved to send a knee towards Rekcils gut only to be followed by a quick round house kick within the same motion towards rekcils back, moving with his newfound speed as everything seemed to move in extremely slow motion. His attacks hoping to literally deform Rekcil as he wished to send the being flying into a nearby column of rock and then some*

 

[DarkScorpion]

Rekcil watched its foe and his increasing energies. Yes, thought the beast, it did see the huge increase in power from across the realms during their time apart, and now it's foe was much stronger since their last encounter. Seeing and feeling this dramatic growth and release of energies from Xanos, the ghoulish nightmare suprisingly still remained deathly calm and eyes still lightly shut.

It waited as Xanos continued to charge up before lauching himself toward the vile creature with his attacks. Xanos's first knee was suprisingly halted by a soft, yet firm block of Rekcil's left talon'ed hand. Another suprise for Xanos was with his follow through of the round house knee aimed for the beast's back. For some reason in a movement too fast for even Xanos to see, the hideous daemon as already facing the oncoming knee with another block of its right hand. The movement was so fast it was though it's body just appeared as though it were facing one direction and immediately the opposite. Not even a whisp of air moved from the movement. What could this mean to Xanos?

The next suprise for Xanos would be that right after the second block of the knee, the creature was no longer standing where it was for it was now in another spot fifteen feet away, still standing with its calm demeanor. Not even a change upon the expression upon its lips, even Xanos at this point would be happy with a little snicker, sinister smile, or sneer, yet the beast's face still showed no form of emotion that its foe is so used to seeing upon the vile damnation.

Rekcil motioned once again for Xanos to come forth once more, eyes still gently closed, awaiting for something that only it knew at this point in time.

What is this creature hiding? Why is its actions so different that what was known about it before? Is the beast really weaker then before but knowing some new tricks, still the same strength as before yet not known to Xanos during the past that it was stronger then what he had assumed, or was it truly much stronger then what could be told? What is the true intentions of what the creature is planning? Is Letum truly waiting in the background for the death of her father before stepping forth and laying waste to Xanos after expelling his energies upon the nightmarish monstrosity?

These next few moments will reveal all that has been hidden, and all that has been waiting.

 

[Xanos Laike]

*Letting out a slight gasp upon feeling the soft yet firm block of his knee only to go wide eyed upon feeling his round house stopped with the same kind of force, blinking somewhat as Reckil was no longer in front of him but fifteen feet away from his being. his morale having dropped substantialy as he remained hovering in the air, his body never moving as he just looked into the empty air. his mind having been found at a stand still as his thoughts were just of the same thing over and over again*

How.....how....how is that possible!? I didnt even see him move!!

*moving to stand straight in the air as he looked towards Rekcil, his expression a calm yet terribly frightened one. he was close to 50% of his power and he wasnt able to even see yet alone land a single blow with the exception of the single one he had landed before hand, knowing know that Rekcil had allowed such a thing to happen so he could get a slight glimpse of his true power. growling to himself as he clenched his left hand tightly into a fist, strands of blueish white electricity coursed along the length of his arm. motes of blue and white energy radiating from his arm and hand as well.*

What....what is this!? This is the daemon I have fought before....its...its something different, it has to be...IT HAS TO BE!!

*he yelled furiously only to open his left hand quickly as the motes of blue and white energy quickly shifted to his left hand, forming a sphere the size of a basketball. the electricity coursing from his arms onto the sphere itself as it hummed loudly, then throwing his entire body into the motion of tossing the sphere towards Rekcil. The sphere only having to cross the distance of fifteen feet seemed move in an instant towards Rekcil, attempting to slam into Rekcils being and carry it a few hundred yards with its immense energies. only to explode with such force that would be equal to a supernova, giving a slight demonstration of his energy manipulation and collection abilites as he has substantially improved over the vast years. even his mightiest blast back then....Heavens Final Flare...pales in comparison to the power this single sphere held within its tiny shell*

 

[DarkScorpion]

Rekcil watched with its senses as Xanos charged up the energy within his body and hand, forming the powerful sphere of energy. Within the creature's calculative brain in a moment of stillness, it could see everything that was happening as though it were in extremely slow motion. It studied the construction and flow of energies within Xanos and the energy sphere, looking deeply and closely at every single thread of energy within their creation.

It 'watched' as Xanos, whom seemed to be moving at an extremely slow speed to the creature's perception, sent forth the energy sphere toward its location. Rekcil with its eyes still lightly closed and demeanor remaining calm, it raised its right arm with palm facing forward aimed toward the oncoming sphere. Rekcil's senses found what they were searching for within the energy blast which within Rekcil's perception was also moving at a rate of one foot per minute. To Xanos time was indeed moving normally and unable to see the swift movement of the creature as it executed its next move.

With its palm facing toward the oncoming blast, a marble sized black sphere formed an inch away from its hand. The tiny sphere itself contained a strength just 10% less then Xanos's energy sphere. Upon the creation of the tiny sphere, it was released to meet the oncoming blast, its own speed matching that of the other sphere. When both spheres meet, they would meet at the center point between both the beast and Xanos. The black sphere aimed directly for the frontal nexus of the oncoming blast, the very point where the energies of the enemy blast converge and diverge upon the surface.

Rekcil 'watched' as both spheres collided and the effect would be completely surprising for Xanos to see. As both sphere's collided, the black sphere hitting its target perfectly upon the frontal energy nexus. This impact in turn causes the black sphere to actually overcome the much larger and powerful sphere sent by Xanos, and the point of impact caused an inversional implosion of the combined energies. Suddenly with the inversional implosion, a powerful suction is created that lasts briefly for a couple seconds. The suction was very similar to the gravity pull of a black hole.

What happened next should be of greater surprise and shock for Xanos; immediately after the tiny powerful suction stopped a powerful explosion as though two supernovas happened. Where the explosion happened would be the biggest shocking surprise of all to Rekcil's foe, happening not physically where they battled but just within the subversive realm that lay underneath the current realm. The explosion did no damage at all to this realm, but everything that existed within the other where the release did go was all obliterated from the onslaught of power.

Even though the devastating explosion could not be seen, it could be felt as it shook the current realm. The aftershock of the explosions created tornadoes of energy similar to a known Backlash Wave erupted forth, shredding and crushing everything within their path for the brief seconds they lasted. The ground now which Xanos and the nightmarish daemon stood was even more broken and tattered due to the energy tornadoes.

Rekcil stood calmly, still facing Xanos as its eyes remained closed. Once more it slightly motioned with its right taloned hand for its foe to come forth before lowering its arm once more by its side, waiting for the next move.

 

[Xanos Laike]

*Letting out a light yet dark growl from his throat as he watched the daemon move to counter his attack, narrowing his emerald green eyes slightly as he watched the creation of a small black sphere. his expression shifting to one of curiousity as he could not sense anything from the energy that Rekcil is manipulating, blinking slowly as he watches the sphere collide as he almost allowed a smirk to creep across his lips before halting the motion. his eyes going wide as he watched the small black sphere envelope his own blast, finding it hard to catch a breath as he let out a small grunt of fear*

H....H....How....How?

*he then gritted his teeth tightly as he watched the sphere implode upon itself and felt the extreme gravitational pull of the implosion, arching slightly in the air as his hands were clenched into tight fists. feeling the pull subside as he relaxed slightly, then shifting his emerald green eyes from Rekcil to the sky as he felt the aftershock of the two energies rumble throughout the realm. looking slowly back to Rekcil as his eyes were unblinking, his body not moving with the exception of the occasional breath*

.....Your not Rekcil, your not him....

*he closed his eyes tightly as he slowly allowed himself to slip into a hunched over stance, his body trembling not out of exhertion but out of fear and angst*

You are him...but....how? How!?

*he yelled loudly as streaks of white electricity coursed over his being, his body still trembling as the faint whisps of white aura appeared about his being once more. breathing heavily yet raggedly as he struggled to regain his composure, finding himself at wits end for the time being as fear had grabbed hold of both his mind and his body. his long silver hair whipping about slightly as well as his clothing as he let out a grunt/whimper of anger, fury and fear*

This seems impossible....how? How are you able to stay one step ahead of me...how!?

*he opened his eyes slightly and looked to Rekcil with an expression of a fearing anger, the streaks of electricity surging about his lashed out to the air about him. his body still trembling with fear, exhertion, power. he closed his eyes tightly once more as he let out another whimper*

This...this cannot be....it...it cant be!! I will not allow this!!

*the whisps of aura faded away as the air about his being erupted with a fury of dark black aura, the ground beneath his being depressed violently due to the sudden upsurge of his energies. jagged formations of rock pushing up out of the ground around the depression as he yelled loudly and angrily, the streaks of electricity having turned a bright magenta in color as they continued to stream across his being. thrusting himself into a arched stance as he allowed his energies to come flowing forth from his being, his emotions getting the better of him as they had allowed him to reach new threshold of power. his eyes opening as his eyes were now a dark blue in color as three slashes ran in a circle about his cornea as they glowed a light red in color, his teeth gritted tightly as he then brought his legs and arms to his chest before throwing them off to the side quickly. launching himself towards Rekcil as his anger, rage and fear had caused him to momentarily lose his rationality*

I WONT LET YOU!!! YOU WILL DIE!!

*he yelled loudly as he closed the space between him and Rekcil within series of nanoseconds, unleashing a fury filled round house kick towards Rekcils side but at the same time in a second motion he spun around and sent a back hand towards Rekcil's face. both attacks attempting to connect with devestating ferocity and power as the power behind his blows were equal to that of being able to cause planets to shake apart violently*

 

[DarkScorpion]

Reckil stood and watched its old nemesis's reactions to what was transpiring. The creature was amused by all this even it did not show upon its reaction less face still holding its calm demeanor. The beast stood there and listened to the brief comments spoken by Xanos, and "watched" through closed eyes the rising energies within its adversary, sensing the sudden increase as well when Xanos reached a new level of power. Through all this, still no reaction from the creature that its foe is so used to seeing from this monstrosity.

When Xanos launched himself toward Reckil in an enraged frenzy, the nightmarish creature only stood waiting for Xanos to approach, waiting to give another surprise. As Xanos released forth his attacks upon the beast, Rekcil used one taloned hand to brush and push the roundhouse kick toward the side as though pushing it away, and used its other taloned hand to block the oncoming backhanded strike aimed for its face. It was at this moment when Xanos could look directly into the creature's face up close and personal, Rekcil slowly opened its eyes to stare directly into Xanos's own eyes deeply.

What Xanos would see was not the normal black orbs that were Rekcil's eyes, but now he would see what would look like a thick, black, flowing liquid similar to heated tar. A very miniscule rise within the left corner of Rekcil's lip, moving to a simple smirk before it returned to the emotionless demeanor. Suddenly after this brief moment, the creature seemed to vanish right from before Xanos's eyes as it moved still with speed that Xanos would not be able to see nor sense only to be standing ten feet away from Xanos now. Rekcil now stood at a slight sideways stance with its left arm gently behind its back, right arm slightly extended toward Xanos, and right taloned hand slightly open. To Xanos this would seem similar to a martial arts pose generally used between foes except the beast's left arm behind it.

Rekcil calmly waited with its eyes remaining open, still in its calm stature, waiting for Xanos's next reaction and action.
