The Devil Lives On

[Swifthoof]

Katori bared her teeth in pain and anger as she tried to move or to at least take a chunk out of the roan, but it was useless. Already she felt dizzy from her wounds and lost of blood, but she fought to stay concious.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the grullo step closer to her, hearin his words.A snort escaped her as she watched the stallion rear above her, her green eyes meeting his in defiance. If she was going to die, she was going to die fighting.

But before she could even try to move, Storm was sent crashing to the ground, the impact from his head hitting the ground echoing in the canyon. Katori's eyes widened in shock as she flicked her eyes around for the one responsible for it when they landed on Shetan.Hearing his words, a small frown crossed her face. Was this the spirit of his father that was taking over him?

She was soon brought back to reality as she felt teeth at her neck almost squeezing the life out of her. Baring her teeth in rage, she tried to snap her head around to a bite out of them, but the roan stallion had a good grip. Darcia narrowed his eyes as he stared at the stallion, a small smirk crossing his face. I wouldn't come any closer if I were you..You wouldn't want her to die now would you? he said, sinking his teeth into her neck to cause some blood to flow.

[[R].ebel]

The red stallion spun around to face the roan, ears pinned. Eyes cut through the stallion like daggers, threatening him with only his burning eyes. Eyes were drawn to the grullo as he came up on the other side of Shetan, head low, obviously from the pain on the back of his neck, and mouth agape, gasping for breath, but the urge to fight still hung in his eyes. Eyes flashed to his other side, seeing a black form move closer, Demon. Now he was surrounded.

"Face it, boy... You're in over your head."

Shetan's eyes narrowed, but an evil smile creeped across his face and it was soon joined with a laugh of pure hatred.

"You're wrong... it is you who are in over your head!"

Shetan, the fire boiling inisde of him, bolted for Darcia, his own teeth aimed for the dark hide and targets focused on plowing him over.

[Swifthoof]

Katori watched the three as they surrounded Shetan and she snorted angrily, still trying to wrestle out of Darcia's grip. Hearing Demon's words, she flicked her eyes over to Shetan who was now charging at the roan.

Darcia snorted and quickly threw Katori away from him before dodging to the side of Shetan's attack. Baring his teeth, he charged at Shetan before rearin and aiming his hooves at the fiery stallion's head.

Katori had hit the ground before standing up and looking over at Storm who was injured a bit heavily. Tossing her head, she reared and charged at him, her teeth aimed for his already wounded neck or head.

[[R].ebel]

Shetan’s wild eyes locked onto Darcia’s as he reared to attack. Seeing Katori get thrown only made the burning hatred grow and the fire in his heart to blaze. Shetan quickly dodged the attack from his head, only to have his withers be smashed by the roan’s hooves. The red stallion gritted his teeth but did not fall. Shetan snapped his head up and reared, hooves striking out for his opponent.

“You’ll regret not heading my warning!”

Storm’s head snapped to the side, just able to focus enough to see the mare. He quickly, as quickly as he could, side-stepped away, only barely able to dodge her attack. He was just prepared to launch his own when a large black form rammed into his side, slamming him against the rocky canyon wall and sending him to the ground. He opened his eyes, gasping for breath to see Demon standing above him, facing the mare.

“No… this is my fight, now.”

The black stallion snorted and reared, hooves slamming for the mare.

[Swifthoof]

Darcia snorted as his hooves managed to smash into the stallion's withers, but didn't fall. Gritting his teeth, he applied pressure to try to force him down when Shetan reared and struck out at him. The roan quickly dodged to the side, but one of Shetan's hooves still managed to pierce his side. Letting out an angry whinny, the roan leaped at the fiery stallion, teeth aimed for his shoulder.

Katori's eyes narrowed as Storm was pushed out of the way by Demon and she skidded to a stop, facing him. Keeping an eye on Storm, she tossed her head, the fire of battle engulfing her green gaze. A small smirk crossed her maw as she saw Demon rear up and the mare, being smaller and more agile, whirled around and aimed her back hooves for his face.

[[R].ebel]

Shetan tried to dodge the attack but felt teeth sink into his shoulder. The red stallion whipped his head around to do the same to the roan, unless the roan decided to let go.

Demon saw her whirled around and, being skilled to fight, risked falling backwards on his back than to be kicked in the head. He quickly rolled to his feet, eyes narrowed. The black stallion snorted and leaped for the mare, teeth aimed for her neck Darcia had already gotten ahold of earlier.

[Swifthoof]

The roan smirked in triumph as he managed to get ahold of Shetan's shoulder and he sank his teeth in deeper, his mismatched eyes narrowed in glee. Then he felt the stallion's teeth sink into his shoulder and he squealed in anger. Snorting, he quickly let go and reared, striking out at Shetan's head with his hooves.

Katori's eyes narrowed as Demon managed to dodged her kick and she quickly leaped back. As soon as her hooves hit the ground, she charged at the black stallion then at the last minute, she skidded to a stop before lunging at his own neck.

I'm tired

Hooves clicked against the stony floor of the canyon. The walls served as a funnel for the wind, blowing around the mane and tail of an appaloosa mare.

Agonized whinnies and squeals of pain reached her dappled ears, the smell of blood clogging her nostrils. The mare moved into a trot.

She approached the fray, several coats blurring together so that she could not distinguish who all was participating in the fight. The mare stood back, watching the other equines battle with apathy in her eyes.

I'm wired

[[R].ebel]

Shetan's eyes blazed when the taste of blood filled his mouth, it seeming to satisfy a hunger his body had longed for. Suddenly, teeth were ripped away from flesh as the roan reared, striking for the red stallion. Shetan snorted side stepping away as hooves scraped his neck. He ignored the pain, the fire to fight hotter than he could stand. With a fierce whinny that echoed through the canyons, he reared up, head arched defiantly and slammed his hooves as hard as he could for the roan, hatred pouring from his glare.

As the mare lunged for his neck, Demon reared up slightly, backing up on his hind legs, just out of reach of the mare. He snorted, ears pricking to the sound of hoofbeats. From the sound of them, for he had heard them before, it sounded of Jagura, but he wasn't going to concentrate on her now. It was the fight he wanted. Still upon his hind legs, Demon lunged for Katori with brute strength, aiming to knock her down.

[Swifthoof]

The roan snorted as he managed to strike at the stallion. Seeing him rear up, the roan did as well taking the fiery stallion's hit in his chest. Gritting his teeth, he planted his hooves into the ground before lunging at him, his teeth aiming for his neck.

Katori's eyes narrowed in frustration as Demon had managed to dodger her attack and she leaped away, her black tipped ears pricking at the sound of hoofbeats. Flicking her eyes toward the source, she spotted an appaloosa mare watching the battle. Then hearing another set of hooves, she whirled around in time to see Demon charging at her. Snorting, she tried to move, but the stallion still managed to push her in the dirt. Squealing in anger, she snapped her head up and aimed her teeth for his throat.

[[R].ebel]

At the sound of Katori's angry squeal, Shetan spun around, the fire in his eyes dissappearing as worry and concern filled them.

"Katori?!"

He grunted in pain as he suddenly felt sharpteeth latch on his throat and the flames of battle returned to his gaze, eyes burning to kill. Shetan tossed his head and reared back, trying to break the hold of the roan.

Demon's red tinted eyes seemed to intensify with thier color as he managed to pin her down. He stayed on top of her, knees pushed in her shoulder and head arched above the reach of her gaping mouth.

"Call the stallion off... or both of you will die..."

His voice was emotionless but still held a dark sinister feel to it.

I'm walking through the fire

As the fray continued, Jagura managed to distinguish the different horses involved. Two of them she didn't recognize--a chestnut stallion and a bay mare. Then there was him, the roan--she shot a cold glare at him, and Demon.

"What'd I miss?", she asked. By the tone of her voice, anyone would've guessed that she was bored out of her mind, and that wasn't fare from the truth.

It's so hard to see

[Swifthoof]

The roan grinned in triumph as he managed to latch onto the fiery stallions throat. Snorting, he stood his ground as Shetan reared, not letting go. His eyes flicked to Jagura and he raised an eyebrow, but stayed silent.

Katori bared her teeth in anger as she was pinned down, but she made no move to attack back. Her green eyes flamed in anger, but she nodded. Looking over at Shetan, she said. Shetan! Stop! That's enough! she called, laying her head on the ground.

Another figure soon entered the area, his cold brown eyes surveying the scene before him. He snorted and looked over at Jagura, hearing her words. Apparently not much said Itachi, looking over at the bay mare pinned by Demon. A small smirk crossed his face as he came up to the pair. Hey Demon, you wouldn't mind if I took her off your hands would you? It's been awhile since I've had some good company he said, grinning as he lowered his head to pull a strand of Katori's mane painfully. Katori bared her teeth at the chestnut, fighting hard to not take a chunk out of him.

[[R].ebel]

Shetan tossed his head back, trying to losen the grip of the stallion from his neck, hooves lashing out dangerously at the roan, the fire unwilling to die. Ears pricked to words he couldn't believe... had he been told to stop? The desire to fight kept pulling him to kill this one called Darcia, but as he glanced back, his eyes returned to normal and shear concern filled them, seeing Katori pinned. He made a last effort to pull his neck from the roan by aiming his front hooves for the roans chest, hoping to knock him back.

Demon's ears pricked to Jagura's words but he said nothing. He heard another voice answer her, Itachi. The voice was then directed to the ebony stallion. With a toss of his head, Demon leaped back off of her, stepping back a few feet so that she couldn't easily get to him if she stood.

"I have no use for her... do with her what you wish."

He looked back to the red stallion and the roan and gave a rough snort for Darcia. Head turned for Jagura and he nodded his head to the red stallion.

"Go and help Darcia. Make sure the stallion doesn't escape."

When you are blinding me

Eyes narrowed, she opened her mouth to say something in protest, but she caught herself. She could force herself to get along with him, but it wouldn't be pretty...

The appaloosa mare lowered her head. "Yes, m'lord," she said politely to Demon, flicking her tail as she waited to follow Darcia.

You say you love me[/color]
