Syrus felt a hot stinging sensation on his back and before Mike could implant the explosive kunai into his spine he kicked Mike in the face. He teleported back on top of the hill, badly injured at this point. "Well I am afraid our time is up, it seems young Maximus here has been able to control that demon of mine. Oh well, it's not too soon to get it back," he said smiling menacingly. "Well it was fun fighting with you all but it really is time for me to get going. I have much important planning to do." And he disappeared again.
As Maximus cried on the shoulder of his dead master he noticed something shining off the moonlight in Argoth's right hand. He suddenly stopped his sobbing and reached over to pry it from his hands. It was the Timepiece. Maximus's eyes widened as the same thing that happened to his deceased mentor happened to him. The vary same tattoo imprinted itself on him and Maximus stared at it in wonder. He quickly shook his head, breaking the concentration. A sudden violent, white hot anger boiled up inside of him. This was all Syrus's fault, and if it was the last thing he did on this planet he would kill him for what he did to Argoth.

"His spine shall be ripped out...I want to see that man suffer.." That was the last thing Zanza-Torak said before Torak regained control over his mind and body.
Torak walked over to Maximus and placed his left hand on the boy's right shoulder.
"I know what you are feeling, young one. But...you cannot charge in at Syrus when you are fully hellbent on revenge. We return to the hideout and we make a plan...he is like a snake...and to get rid of a snake..you must strike it in it's nest.."Torak said, squeezing a bit on the young assassin's shoulder.

"How dare you die on us, you son of a bitch." Blade muttered to himself, as his demon aura faded away. "We were so damn close."

"Wrap Argoth's body up...we will take it to our sacrad burial grounds." Torak said to Blade. "I'll tell Marisa of this...Maximus...go find Azrael...we need to him to lead your master's spirit to the afterlife."

"I'll have to take him back to the hideout, I don't have anything sufficient on me." Blade lifted Argoth's body over both shoulders. Gold energy welled up up around him again. Blade crouched and jumped over the entire lake in a single bound. With the others unable to see him, he switched to carrying Argoth on one shoulder out of convenience.

Maximus clenched his fists so tight his knuckles were as white as the moon. He swallowed his emotions and spoke very softly, "Yeah, I'll find Azreal. I just need to be alone for a while," he walked away from Torak and slowly trekked up the hill and out of sight.
(Okay, next thread will be in the hideout right? Where is this sacred burial ground?)

Eldrin sat in the grass, staring at the spot where Argoth had died. He hadn't even sustained a single injury... Yet, Argoth had been killed. He slowly raised Avarice to his face. The razor sharp claw blades slid easily through his cheek. Blood gushed out of the three claw marks running diagonally across his cheek and ran down his chin. The thief ran his right hand across the bloody cheek. "Damn it, you idiot... Don't you know?" He growled, staring down at his crimson palm. "You're not allowed to die..." He watched Torak dish out orders, ever the leader. And Blade responding... Taking his dead friend off to their hideout. Assassins, always so at ease with death... Then his eyes moved to Maximus as the boy walked away. Anger... Vengeance...
Eldrin hopped to his feet and followed Maximus up the hill, smiling as if nothing had happened.

Torak whirled around as he heard a roar. He had forgotten all about the dragon, he looked and saw the white dragon to which he yelled "I now view you as a friend, ice dragon! I ask of you to carry me in your claws and get me as close to the dragon of Fire Temple as you can!" He grabbed his crossbow...he knew the dragon was under some sort of spell that Syrus put it under. He cursed at that evil man...he would pay for killing Argoth, disturbing Maxe's parents graves and for brainwashing the protector of the Fire Temple.

Sappho, snorted at him, lifting his wings above his had to show to Azrael that he doesn't have any claws to pick in up with. "You may climb on my back, but do not touch the tip of my spines of my frills, they carry a paralyzing venom that will prevent you from moving for a good amount of time." He echoed inside his mind, lowering his head for him to get on.

Torak nodded and leapt upon Sappho's back, careful not to land on any of the tips of the spines on his back. "That dragon is brainwashed like Maximus was...I've dealt with this thing before...and I believe I can return it to normal." Torak said, arming the crossbow.

WIth two flaps of his powerful wings, Sappho shot up into the air, avoiding a blast of fire from the dragon. The fire temple dragon thrashed about, struggling to break the ice encasing him, but spotted Sappho trying to fly in with Torak, so he blasted them again with a beam of fire, making the sea dragon dodge again.
"Where do you think his control device is coming from? I'll try to get you close to it before he strikes out again." Sappho asked, swooping over him and blasting another ice beam at him to keep the fire dragon pinned to the ground as the original ice spell started to break off in huge chunks.

As Maximus walked down the other side of the hill he noticed Eldrin following him and stopped. "Eldrin..I just..not now, okay?" he mumbled.

"Volcano dragons tend to have very durable and hard scales on their bodies...it's tougher than strongest armor that the Mountain Smithy of Termina can make...it does have a soft spot behind the large bit on it's head. Since it's plating can block all telepathic waves...I believe Syrus used a magical item and placed it behind the plate." Torak explaind to Sappho, being able to keep his balance despite not being able to hold on to anything.

Sappho thought for a while, blasting another spell of ice at the Fire dragon. It would be risky, but at least he'll be able to get him in.
"I have a plan, but you must move fast. I'll charge straight on at the beast and hold him down as much as I can while you jump on him and do what you can. I promise you I won't let nothing happen to you to get hurt."
