Regis continues to follow shadow, aware that his secrecy has been made and just keeps on following him hoping that he will land soon so they can talk.

[Echo-279]

I look extremely weak.

"I need to go back to the Dark World... Or I won't be around much longer..."

I nearly faint, but I make a portal to the Dark World.

"Just....gotta...get...through..."

[Axel]

*Shadow lands on the nearby mountain, waiting for Regis to catch up*

[Ristau]

Regis makes it up the mountain and climbs a nearby tree, then drops down behind shadow's dragon and drugs it so that it goes to sleep.

"It's Shadow, right? You seem to have some real potential. Instead of hunting Jet, I was wondering if you'd like to go on a little special mission with me involving Shade." Regis jumps back up into the tree and laughs. "By the way, I knocked your dragon out, so we'll be stuck here for a while if you just want to talk it over and gather your thoughts."

[Echo-279]

I start slowly crawling toward the portal I made.

"Either way, I'll die, by loss of Life Forece from not replenishing in the Dark World, or because of him."

I feel even weaker, alerting me to how much time I had left.

I think to myself "I'm running out of time, Regis used my weakness against me, and my enraged state used my energy much faster than expected."

[Ristau]

Regis senses that Shade is is in some deep shit.

"Sorry Shadow, I need to leave to take care of some unfinished buisness... I'll hopefully be back before that idiot dragon wakes up, but if not, we'll chat some other time." Regis smiles at Shadow and sprints back toward the arena.

He runs in and begins to lifts Shade by the collar.

"Can't let you die yet, Shade, I need you to live, for now. Now tell me how the **** I can help you stay alive."

[Echo-279]

"The...portal...push...me...through it. The Dark World is my home, if I go too long without returning to replenish my life force, I die. The Dragon Manipulator there wants me dead, so even if I replenish, he'll find me, and he's in the same predicament as me."

[Ristau]

Regis breaks a vial and hears a roar can be heard (The breaking of the vial wakes Shadow's dragon) and then Regis speaks through the dragon... "Shadow, this is Regis. Come to the portal in the arena, quick..."

"Alright, Shade. We're going in there and killing that whatever it is. When do you gain your ****ing sight back?"

Regis, holding Shade, jumps into the portal.

[Axel]

"Haha, it would appear that I have no choice in this situation.." Shadow said, as Regis runs away.

*Shadow began to ponder in his thoughts, and slowly drifted asleep.*

[Echo-279]

I instantly feel the effects of returning to the Dark World, quickly revitalising me.

"The Dark World. A place that only us inhabitants can live in, meaning you can't stay long, as the energies here HARM those who weren't born in it. You need to leave Regis, now. The energies are going to kill you, just like the other foolish humans who came here."

I sense the Dragon Manipulator nearby.

"So you want to end this now huh, Ragnaroc? Unlike other times, I've grown stronger."

I push Regis into the portal.

"In the Dark World, we don't need sight to kill. But my sight returns in two days."

[Ristau]

Regis falls through the portal back into reality.

"Well that's not how I envisioned that going down, at ALL! GODDAMN IT!"

he then begins to walk back toward Shadow, taking his time.

[Axel]

*Shadow hears footsteps, opens his eyes, and sees Regis standing over him.*

"Sup?"

[Ristau]

"Well, I was following Shade into the dark world, and I got in. But he pushed me out and closed the portal. God I am pissed right now. Wanna smoke?"

Offer's Shadow a joint and lights up himself.

[Echo-279]

Ragnaroc merely laughs about me getting stronger. I merely ignore him, saying

"Right now your life is at stake too, yet you choose to hunt me. The Queen may pay you well, but she'll kill you after. In the arena, there are a lot of jewels there, I'll take you there on one condition: You stop hunting me."

Ragnaroc is shocked to hear the truth, and then nods. I then open a portal back, having fully recovered. Ragnaroc and I then enter the portal and arrive in the arena.

[Axel]

"Haha, you've never met me, yet you know me oh so well."

*Takes the joint and takes a hit.*

[Ristau]

Sensing the presence of Shade and the what-ever-it-is, Regis says to Shadow

"Shit... First he won't let us help him fight that thing, and I try to take a 5 minute break, and now he brought the fight to US! Shadow, put cut the light part and retie it and save that for later, right now we've got a bigger problem to deal with..."

Regis then takes off back toward the arena.

[Echo-279]

I sense Regis, and I yell,

"You don't get it, do you? Both Ragnaroc and I are in danger, I merely told him the truth. Plus he's taking some of the gems in exchange that he stops hunting me. The Succubus Queen is also Queen of the Dark World, where I am wanted dead for attempting to assassinate her."

I look at Ragnaroc, who was still in shock from the revelations.

[Ristau]

While running, I load up "Invincible" and get my dagger ready. I run behind the behemouth (whatever it is, this "assassin" and slide beneath his legs and shoot him twice in the chest with the Desert Eagle and then pop up next to Shade.

"You miss me, you blind asshole? I could have handled myself in the dark world."

[Echo-279]

"The circumstances had changed, and you have just killed the holder of the only weapon that can bring the Dark World back to the way it was before the Queen took over. However, it is only half of the weapon itself, my katana is the other half, so thanks are in order I guess."


I take Ragnaroc's longsword, which began to glow blue with my katana.

[Axel]

*Shadow.. just getting his stuff together, walks up behind Regis, unaware of the situation.*

"What the **** is going on, Regis..?"

*Shadow slides the joint into his satchel and awaits and explanation.*
