The Damascus drifts above the snow, thick black smoke pouring out of the stern. It soon crashes. Within minutes, the members of Locke's team have poured out of it's burning hull.

Locke: What happened?
Wayne: Th fuel tanks burst.

A man in a cloak who looks like Satir approaches the group.

Cloaked Man: Hello.

Locke: Call me crazy, but aren't you dead.
Persiphone: I think he is...
Wayne: I'll go grab mani...
Within seconds he is back with the young mage.

The cloaked man removes his cloak and takes out his two giant sabers.

Nhakul: That fool is in the southeast currently. I will let only a few of you to have this information and live... I am his Grandfather. I've hidden myself for a long time and found a secret to youth. But enough about myself, How about you all? It wouldn't help to know that information right now as you will perish in flames.

Nhakul stands with his weapons drawn.

Locke draws Petalchaser, as does Fube.
FUbe: We nuber above you. To us, surrender.
Locke: No human can outfight me!
Wayne: I'll go start the repairs...
Locke: GET BACK HERE!
Wayne: *glup*
Mani: I will settle you!

Nhakul: Come, I invite you to dance with death.

Nhakul begins to taunt the members of Clan Dynamo into attacking.

Wayne: I have a bad feeling about this...
Locke: Save it.

Locke rushes forward, Katana held high.

Nhakul slashes at Locke with both sabers with deadly speed.

Locke leaps over Nhakul
Locke: You call that fast! LAst Breath!"

The glimmering steel streaks towards the attackers neck.

Nhakul backflips and slashes Locke again.

He leaps back, but the sabers find perchase, one sinking deep into Locke's leg, the other cuting his left wrist. He drops his katana as he collapses into the ground.

Locke: Persiphone... Help.

Nhakul slashes once more to finish off Locke.

Locke rolls pitifully...

and the blades of the saber are blocked by Fube's Petalchaser.

Nhakul slashes upwards attempting to make Fube drop her weapon and slashes with the other saber.

Fube drops as her jugular bursts.

Locke: You... killed...

Mani casts curaga on Locke, who springs to his feet, drawing Murasame.

Locke: my sister you son of a *bleeprdjbleep*

Nhakul: Boo hoo! What do you expect me to do? Cry? I'd rather eat a pie!

Nhakul runs towards Wayne and slashes at him.

Wayne, who was cowering behind a cannon that had fell off of the Damascus's hull, is slain easily.

PErsiphone clings to Locke.

PErsiphone: Locke, I'm so scared! I don't want to die again.
Locke: I won't let this nut kill you.
PErsiphone: But, he already injured you so badly.

Mani tugged on Persiphone's skirt.
Mani: Ma'am, I think I might be able to slow him down.

She turns to face the attacker.

Mani: In the name of all that is good on the world, I demand you desist! Devine Hold!

Nhakul plants his sword in the ground and balances on it with one hand to dodge the spell. He got down and took his saber out of the ground and threw it at Mani.

Mani sidestepped, the blade barely hitting her arm. Persiphone ran over to stand in front of her.

Locke(thinking): I wonder if anyone will ever find out our fate...
Locke: Nhakul, was it? Prepare for your demise.

Locke rushes at his strange opponent.

PErsiphone: Nos Habalaos Ifriti! (ifrit)

Nhakul rolls to the side to dodge both attacks, and rushes to grab his other saber.

Locke: No you don't!

He hurls Murasame.

Persiphone: Well done, idiot, you just threw away your last weapon!

Mani began to walk towards Nhakul slowly.
Mani: Why do you want us dead?

Nhakul turns around and slashes at the blade knocking it into the ground and grabs his other saber, then responded to Mani.

Nhakul: My Master killed a member of this clan, when he kills one then he plans to kill them all. He's dead now, So I'll finish this for him.

Nhakul rushed at Locke.

Locke handsprings over him, the sprints for his Katana
Locke: And who was he?

Persiphone bigins to edge towards the cover of a peice of metal sheeting.

A small airship flys over head of the battle as a figure jumps out and lands behind the Damascus's ruined state. "Geeze what happened" Raze said as he walks around the Damascus's hull in his white cloak hideing him in the snow. He saw saw clan Dynamo being slaughterd one after another. He drew his sword walked to Locke. "whats going on....oh by the way I'm here to help" he asked.

Locke, having just reache Murasame, dropped his sword again.

Locke: Jeez, man. What you sneaking around for.

He stoops down for the blade.

Persiphone: Raze!

Raze knods to Persiphone then looks at Locke. "What happned after the mission...we just suddenly got seperated somehow.....and wheres the rest of Clan Dynamo....I thought they were all with you on the Damascus's?" he asked looking at Nhakul. "And who is this guy he looks like Satir" he asked again.

Nhakul: Whats Nhakul backwards?

Raze looked at Nhakul. "Lukahn...why does that matter" he said

Nhakul: Lukahn killed the one called Babel. So I get the rest.

Raze got angery with Nhakul. " Enough of this foolishness you have no right to kill of this clan.....and as for Lukahn killing Babel...I get revenge for him...BY KILLING YOU" he yelled and ran at Nhakul, but before he did he droped a x-potion in the snow by Locke's feet. He jumped high into the air and came down with a slash at Nhakul and brought his sword up to a blocking stance afterwards to block a counter attack from Nhakul

Nhakul backflipped and threw one of his Sabers at Raze and then swung at Raze with the other.

Nhakul: Who said anything about rights? And Babel has already been avenged you idiotic fool.

"I really don't care for people who hurt my friends....to me your all the same" The saber bounced off of Raze's sword, he then moved it to black the other saber. He pushed hard off the saber and countered with a slash of his own.

Nhakul dodged by ducking and then grabbed his other Saber and Disappeared.

Raze looked at where Nhakul was a second before. "Huh...where did he go" he said to himself. He closed his eyes and concentrated "Alright I need to calm down...or I won't be able to help anyone....now....where did you go" he thought to himself trying to figure out where could he have gone. Raze opened his eyes and started to walk backwards very slowly placeing his steps in sespific parts on the ground.

Locke threw Murasame to the ground so hard it slid in to the hilt.

Locke: He's gone!

He started pacing back and forth.

Persiphone: Locke, honey, calm down. we can worry about him after we get out of here.

Locke stopped pacing.
Locke: He killed them all! The whole crew!
Persiphone: I know, but we have to move on.

Locke looked at his airship.
Locke: I don't think we'll be going anywere. Let's go see if there's anything left in the galley.

Raze placed his sword back into it's sheath and looked at Locke. "I know how you feel Locke but we need to regroup and try to figure out what to do next....and searching tha galley is a good idea...you may find useful things....I'll climb to the top of the Damascus's and signal my ride here back to get us alright" Raze said

Locke: *sigh*... you're right, raze.

Locke starts climbing through the wreckage.

PErsiphone: What's the nearest town from here, anyway?

Mani: Ma'am, is it alright if I go follow Locke?

Persiphone: No, miss Mani. He's to angry right now.

~within the wreck~
Locke: No, none of this food will do... it's all spoiled. Maybe there's something we can use in the barraks.

LAter...

axel: Well, isn't this just kupopo! Cap'n Locke!
Locke: axel! You made it! I thought...
axel: I was sleeping when the tanks burst.
Locke: alright. Let's go topside and see whats up.

Raze climbed slowly to the highest point of the wrechage and looked around. He took out a flare and light it holding it high into the Air. He then drew his sword and threw the flare up and batted it higher into the air. After a few minutes a small airship flew over head and landed a few meteres away from the wrechage. Raze hopped down and walked into the old ship. He came out a few minutes later and walked over to Persiphone and Mani. "Old Tom said he would give us a ride to where ever we wanted to...pretty much thats his job actually" he said.

Locke and Axel came runnig out of the wreckage.

Locke: Geez, Raze, that was fast.
Persiphone: You found Axel!
Axel removed his hat.
Axel: Kupo.
Locke: Now what?

(Occ: Hey Locke can you stamp Tom's description I just made please)

Raze looked at Axel. "Good to see you Axel" he said and looked at Locke. "My Friend Tom says he can fly us anywhere we ask all we have to do is give the word and go" he said
