COI battle. Mario V Kyrian

Well Wychwood was really beautiful indeed, so relaxing and beautiful which it had held Mario stuck inside of itself for weeks after entering it. Through the green forest Mario marched, with a cart in his hands, pulling behind himself, filled with weapons, armors and monsters parts such as Stinnox, Giga yokais and so on, with his giant figure he would keep pulling the cart here and there, time to time stop to catch his breath again, rest eat and drink then keep on walking in his route towards the north. It was indeed time for him to leave the forests, and so far he was closed to the northest part of the forests as well.

Over his body he was wearing a white cape over his shoulder, a fancy and expensive outfit over his body, a scarf around his neck which had a beautiful yellow flower attached to it. A black headband over his head, keeping his hair towards up, and making him look cool . . . .

His face and giant body was a mark of experience for itself, and a sign of danger for close by animals, to avoid him and let him have his peaceful walk towards the north. In such a beautiful forest, what could go wrong?

(Mario the Merchant)
"What are you doing here?" Kyrian would say in his broken accent as he came out of the surroundings and faced the stranger garbed in white.

"I will say it again. Why are you here?" he said demandingly as he stood his ground with his claws extended.

He knew that there was an 'Outsider' in these parts due to the fact that his scent was stank with their essence
(Kyrian Hayes)
Well seems forest finally decided to put someone in front of him now, not those weak yokais which would die simply by glaring at them . . . though this one, looked a little more aggressive than those kids he met at entrance of forests, well maybe that would be something good as well, to remove some of his boredom after all.

Placing the cart downwards, Mario would take few steps forward, placing his hands over his waist and doing some flexing movements, extending arms and such to remove tiredness from his body, then taking few deep breaths and even one long yawn before even deciding to look at the young kid shouting at him.

" Why does a little puppet shouting at me now? . . . " was the first thing running through his mind as he would cross his arms together over his chest and stare at the Kyrian standing in front of him.

"Well, what am I doing, or what I am going to do, got no slightest business towards you honestly. . . . by what right a wolf would judge a lion? Or better say a puppet barking . . . . buzz off little kid . . . " His tone and way of speaking was way more harsh and brutal than his normal self. But what self? He was Mario! And when someone tried to order him around, he would get pissed off, specially if they be someone young and impolite indeed. . . .

(Mario the Merchant)
Standing there and trying his best to intimidate the Outsider was such a harder job than what it used to be. He was alot older than the rest and he looked alot stronger than the bunch that he had fought before. He was much broader and more built. It had shown through his clothing and armor.

"A puppet?" Kyrian would say as he looked at him in confusion. He never heard that word before but it certainly was brought about in a meanful manner. Which pissed him off even more.

"How about you leave before I put a bunny in your butt!" he growled towards the much older man. The blue haired man was now annoying him with just his presence. Had he not known that he was in Ookami territory? and if he didn't, he will. And Kyrian would make sure of that.

Baring his fangs and crouching down low. He increased the volume on his growl. Making it sound more fierce and profound. " Why don't you leave before you hurt your self." he said lowly as he kept his ground.

Then suddenly the Outsider had compared himself to a lion and him to a wolf. Then a puppet again. What was this puppet? But it didn't matter as soon as the blue haired man had told him to buzz off. Telling an Ookami to buzz off. On his own ground?!

Kyrian would stare at this person with hate burning passionately in his eyes. 'Outsiders always think that they are ontop of the food chain. But I'm going to end this creature. I will worship by destroying him. I will end each one of these Outsiders. They will pay for how they act. As if they are better. As if they are stronger. As if they are wiser. I will make sure that they will all pay. . .' Kyrian would say loudly in his mind, and with each word he would grow more in anger. Soon to the point where a blue-like energetic flame would viciously surround his body as it blazed around his body. It was connecting to his anger and only controlled through his emotions.

Growling louder than before. He would for the first time use the axe that he "borrowed" from a bandit who foolfully tried to steal one of the many Ookami treasures from within the den.


(Kyrian Hayes)
Well Mario and before that Balder, never liked the Ookamis, as al of them which he met so far turned to be selfish people which only care about few little things, specially having some of his friends already dead and hurt by these creatures, he didn't liked them so much personality, not all of them but those who act like this . . . should all just get lost indeed!

Hearing the kid threating him he would extend his neck backwards a little and take a deep sigh once more, "You seriously expect me to leave? While you don't doing anything to scare me?" His tone was mocking and challenging yet a little tired, as he would then bring back his neck to its last position and then lower his gaze to the ground as he would take yet another deep sigh, he didn't liked stupid fights but if it was to teach these Ookamis some lessons? It would be good . . .

And with that, he would reach his right hand for his right lap, grab the hilt of his leather bull big whip and pull it away from his lap, make it open and by sending a wild strike towards the direction of the boy, which wouldn't hit him but yet its sound echoing in the woods, would clearly be a sign of how hard it could hit indeed! He would then lower his right hand downwards, as for himself, would start floating in the air, starring down at the Kyrian with his emotionless gaze.

(Mario the Merchant)
Mario wasn't type to go all out over a small kid and beat them up, but when the kid became so impolite towards elder people and gone far enough to threaten him to stick a bunny in his bum . . . well he could show some of his powers to the kid and use it as a chance to teach the kid few things about harsh nature out there, always someone stronger it is.

And with that, in one blink of eye, he would fly towards the kid and send a wild strike by his whip towards them, the tip of whip would touch the puppet arm but, soon he would face a semi big orb of energy and mana shooting towards them, blocking it with left hand, he would be forced backwards few meters by it.

Shaking his left hand few times, to clean the remaining mana out of his face, Mario would put up an annoyed expression over his face once more, take a deep breath and then forcing his eyebrows into eachother, soon dashing towards the wolf puppet and soon throw few hard and heavy strikes by his whip, he aimed in the way so the tip of whip would hit the kid over the body so it would feel much more sharper than a simple piece of leather!

Sending a front kick with his left leg, he would throw the kid backwards which was trying and struggling to lesser their distance, then throw some more attacks towards them, and it wouldn't be so late for him to be nearly done. But oho that wasn't enough! He pissed off the wrong man! Seeing the kid guards opened up, he would rush towards them and grab them by head, bring them close to a tree nearby, and start smashing, Kyrian's head into the tree, with not all of his strength clearly, or else the head would explode but strong enough to make a bleeding to happen after fourth impact, and after doing it for few times he would release the head and take a deep sigh, flying towards his cart again, clearly this kid wouldn't stand back up, unless they get some miracle to happen or be stupid enough to actually stand up . . .

(Mario the Merchant)
As Kyrian lashed out towards the blue-haired fool. He came after him with his axe by his side. Gripped in both hands as he watched the man charge at him. But. . . levitating off the ground. Which made his eye brows raise . But it didn't stop his assualt. But as the two had gotten closer to the other. Mario had threw out his whip, which looked like a brownish leatherly snake to Kyrian.

As Mario sent out his whip to attack, Kyrian would try to evade it. But he just wasn't simply fast enough to change his direction of speed to continue his attack. So instead, he prepared himself to take the attack so he could dish out his own. But as the whip made impact with his skin. Kyrian would fall hard to the ground as it caught him off balance as he hadn't experianced such a attack before in his life. It came at him hard and stung at the touch. Causing him to fumble towards the ground, then suddenly the man would be above him preparing for another strike. In which Kyrian reached out with his right arm to stop him but that wouldn't be enough. But his emotions held deep inside was and he managed to send out a blast of mana which seemed to have halted the movements of his attacker. But it also seemed like it hadn't done much but push him back a bit.

Only then he saw confusion on the mans face as Mario shook his left arm. Then his experssion would change into a more violent one as he charged at him again, and this time. He wasn't playing around.

Trying his best to defense himself from the oncoming assualts from the Outsider. Kyrian was utterly overwhelmed as the leatherly snake had hit him in every direction. Giving him no change at all to repel his attacks. Only seconds would go by before he dropped his weapon and held his arms up to defend himself before the almighty whip. But it didn't take very long afterwards for his arms to be sore and useless to his aid as the attacks would become more vicious and more deadly. Before he knew it, he was just being smacked around like a ragdoll. As he gritted his teeth as hard as he could to prevent himself from screaming. But not even that helped as Mario had sent a kick towards his left leg, catching him off balance with the sudden movement. Only later would he be thrown back and assualted some more with rapid movements that he couldn't even begin to comprehend.

Later on Kyrian would finally be left alone as he tried to focus on blue-haired outsider. He became dizzy from being smacked around to much. Which made it harder for him to see what he was doing next. But as he finally thought the man would give him mercy. It turned out that he was wrong. As he saw a sudden movement occur before him. Then it was black as he was now staring into the palm of the man. Then his vision switched to a tree. Then pain. . .

Massive amounts of pain exploded within the young teens skull as he couldn't defend himself at all. He was being smashed against a tree with no means of defending himself. Soon he felt blood trickling down the side of his head. At first it had felt like water. But he knew that it wasn't. It was his own blood. He was at the mercy of this demon but the demon had no intentions of letting him go easy. . . Or alive.

Kyrian was bashed against a tree a couple of times before he felt his body fly into the air and land on something flat. At this point he couldn't tell where he was or who he even is. He just felt light. As if he was floating, but in actually he wasn't. He felt himself fading away as his soul was moving on.

' Lucas. . . Krosious. . . ." Kyrian would call out as his life flashed before his eyes.

But as Kyrian felt himself moving on. He felt a dark and wicked grasp on his shoulder. Pulling him back into his body hard. Before he knew it. He was staring at the blue-haired demon who was now by a cart of things, and he saw clearly. But then suddenly a silhouette figure would appear before him. It was hazzy and vauge and all he saw within it was a wicked smile and him mouthing as Kyrian heard a sinster voice booming in his head.

"I see that you need some help. I'll lend you some power this time. Don't disappoint me. . . "

Suddenly something new grew inside of Kyrian as he stood once more. Walking over to the axe that he had dropped moments ago and picking it up with a new sense of meaning.

His eyes would grow feral as he bared his fangs and yelled out loud, piercing the air as of a mad man. " DIE!" he yelled out wildly as he charged Mario once more with his axe swinging

Better yet. He knew who he was, and where he was! He was on the ground! and bleeding? No, he wasn't even bleeding any more.
(Kyrian Hayes)
 Slowly walking towards his cart, Mario would break his neck joints few times by moving around his neck, trying to relax his muscles and such, after all it was a good warm up, and now he was ready for a long march towards the north. But as he slowly started to bend over towards the handle of cart, trying to grab them, he would pause, as he would feel a great amount of mana blast in direction of his back at once. . . .

Soon the man would raise, and turned around to just have his eyes widen open now . . . the kid was being surrounded by a bright aura of mana, this thing, simply wasn't a normal mana aura which he himself have mastered for such a long period of time, yet it was bright just as it was the kid was having the power of someone behind him . . . but strangely, his eyes didn't widen open because of seeing the boy having an aura like that, but it was widen open from anger, an unknown anger. It was strange, soon he would grip handle of his whip and force his teeths together.

And then a blast of mana happen at the man, sending waves of mana towards surrounding area, moving the dirt and leafs over the ground and shoving it backwards, and then soon a bright aura would start to form around Mario, as there would be some kind of blue figure standing behind him, having a palm over his back.

This kid, is getting a help from his ancestor. Balder, don't let him to grow strong in this fight, finish it quickly!

His father warning was strange yet, Mario now mostly lived to show his great strength to his ancestors alongside his father, nodding towards the spirit, he would take a deep breath and then starting to run towards the kid as well, and then jumping and flying towards the kid with a great speed.

Just as he got in a closer range of battle between himself and the puppet, he would bring his left hand upwards, bravely defend against the strike of puppet axe, the impact would be done and the axe would be thrown backwards somehow, strange? Just how could that happen? Simple . . . . there would be a small layer of mana covering his left hand, working as a shield and boosting strength of his hand, Mario would create a big opening in the kid guard, but he didn't used the whip this time, not the way you have to use a whip . . .

As he was holding the hilt, he would punch the kid so hard in the face, which he would be thrown backwards, alongside his axe, but clearly this kid wasn't type to back down, specially by an ancestor. Mario already knew what would happen when an ancestor tries to make a connection with you, that feeling, that boost of strength and no fear of wounds . . . . those weren't things simply passing by.

Thus as the kid stood up, Mario would just charge at him once again, this time take a longer range attacks, throwing some wild strikes by whip, this time using it as a 'whip' indeed, swinging it around and then hitting the kid with the whip all over the body, avoid his attacks and keep on. The fight was brutal, as well for Mario attacks, though down deep in his heart, he gave the boy credit for standing back up each time it would goes down, clearly was someone strong enough for Ancestral Wrath! But not from personality side . . . the fact that this ancestor may be an evil as well would just charge at his mind, but for now, he needed to get this machine shut down!

Seeing the boy movements gets a little sloppy, Mario would appear behind him, and send a low kick towards the kid's laps, making it hard for him to move, then appear in front of him, and grab him by the head once more, and soon by a flip of great strength, smash the kid's head into the ground. Seeing a little shaking from him again, he would smash it once more. And by that, the kid would be already out of his senses. . . .

And then he would stand back up as he would start to take few deep breaths and then unrhytmed breathings afterwards, "I probably should just kill him . . . but . . . still he is a kid . . . and I enjoyed seeing his motivation so maybe in future when he grown up and put up a good challenge to me, I would destroy him!" Thought Mario to himself as he would close his eyes and imagine his father in front of him.

Well son, I am not gonna argue with you over that but, about his ancestor, something feel evil so that may be not a smart idea but yes he is but a kid so lets hope to see him in future

Hearing his father's words in his mind, Mario would start to write down a note over his notebook, and then tear the piece of paper and place it next to the kid which over it was a simple note.

My name is Balder Rosenberg, I live in the north. When you grew stronger, come and seek me for the revenge! "

And with that, the man would walk back towards his cart and then grab its handle, starting to pull it and return to his journey towards the north.

(Mario the Merchant)
 As Kyrian came baring down upon the blue-haired demon. He would seem different as his energy shroud grew in brilliance. It bloomed brighter than before and grew significantly in size as he charged forth. His appearanced seemed to change. His muscles were slowly growing in size as his facials would once again become feral. Roaring aloud as he jumped wildly in the air to come down hard with a downward swing motion with the axe.

The blue-haired demon surely seemed shocked by his new found power, and so was he. But that wasn't on his mind at the moment. What was on his mind was tearing this Outsider limb from limb. Then devour his being to worship Saekanis!

But Kyrian wasn't acting normally as he was now fueled by pure rage and the power that the mysterious figure had given him. Which pushed his body to its limits. Making his body grow in size with greater strengths than before. Increasing his muscle mass. Causing his claws to grow out longer and thicker than before. His fangs grown in mass as they became sharper and more wicked to the touch. His appearance was growing before Mario's very eyes even the surrounding area was shaking slightly as he bounded towards him. The power that was pulsating through him was to great as his control for magic was at bare minimun as he was only able to access his powers to use magic through emotions. But purely through rage in battle as he went berserk. Which was exactly what was happening as of now.

"Die Die Die Die Die!" he yelled out as he came down upon the flying Mario, connecting the blade of his axe down upon his left hand. The impact was great as it released immersive energy into the surrounding area as it happened.Kyrian lips would form a wicked wide smile as he expected his attackers hand to be split right open. But only seconds later, Kyrian's weapon would be repeled. Causing him to raise both of his hands towards the air. Giving Mario the perfect shot to do whatever he pleased. But how?! How could this have happened. His facial expression had changed from a wicked smile to utter confusion. Then anger. Only then did Kyrian would be evulating the situtation as everything had seemed to move in slow motion as he saw the blue-haired demon prepare to strike once more. He saw it. There on Mario's left hand. A blue-like shield had seemed to give him the strength and protection that he needed to counter his attack and give him a change to strike on his own. Just seeing all of this made Kyrian growl angerily as he watched Mario deliever one of his own blows. He stared him down as he saw him throw a punch towards his face. Cuasing him to fly backwards in a spiral to only hit the ground hard as he sprawled in the ground for a few meters.

But that wouldn't stop him. No. . . . That wasn't enough to cry out. Not even to wince. Kyrian would once more get up and brush off his check as he spat out blood to the side. Glowering his eyes towards Mario's direction. Giving him a death defying stare.

At this time in the moment.Kyrian had lost himself to pure rage and uncontrolable power. Causing him to fall into his inner sub-conscious. Which seemed to be in a stone walled castle's hallway which lead up to a figure sitting down on a throne which was mounted up on a set of stairs leading upwards. Torches lit the hallway, as there was no source of sunlight. There would be a torch lined up on the wall, going all the way behind him which seemed to be endless. To line up infront of him where it would stop at the start of the steps. Kyrian's inner self would be looking down towards the ground as felt weak and vulnerable. As he needed help to win this fight. Kyrian had never lost a fight. Not once yet! and now. He was going to die. . . . He needed something. Someone. . Someone to give him the power to win this battle! But who?

" How about me?"

A deep bassed voice would call out in the distance. Kyrian would then look up to see two great elegant golden firepits sit beside the throne. That a undescrible figure was sitting on. But only a shape of his lips would be formed.

" I can give you the power you seek. But the risk is great. Are you willing to take it? the embodiment of the voice would say again.

To which Kyrian's inner self would clench his fist and nod silently. Which apparently seemed to be all it took as the a deep maniacally laugh boomed within the hall. Causing him he back up in fear. Only then did the torches from down the hall burn out, and so did the ones infront of him with the exception of the two which burned brightly by the silhouette figure. Quickly the flames would extingush itself one by one. Coming closer and faster to him. At this point he grew wide eyed as he saw this happening.

"What are you doing! Whats happening!? I'm just a kid!" he cried out towards the figure on the throne as he started to shake violently in place.

But he never got an answer. All he got in return was a continous laughter of insanity.

Before he knew it. The darkness was upon him. As only four torches stayed aflame. The two on the wall that alined with his body, and the two that stayed by the dark being.

Kyrian's inner self would now watch the being as he was completely terrified of what was about to occur. In something did. The figure on the throne had risen from his chair. And with one last smile. The torches burned out. . .

Returning to the visualization of the present, Kyrian was now growing more feral as he was get toner and more powerful as the aura wrapped around him grew more fierce and dangerous. But it had seemed as Mario had noticed this as he would give Kyrian no time to get stronger. Mario had charged towards the growing-in-power Kyrian, but took his approach more cautiously as he would begin to attack from afar. While Kyrian stood there in rage as he screamed outloud. His body couldn't take all the power that it was being given. But he couldn't control it. He didn't know how to. It was just exploding out of him as it began to leak out of his body. The raw power was simply to much since he didn't have a complete understanding of magic. Much or less how to control it. So his body couldn't contain it as it leaked out the power to keep his body barely intact. But Kyrian's rage was more. It now controlled him as if he couldn't tell his body was slowly ripping itself to pieces.

Soon the fully enraged Kyrian would come barreling down after Mario as he seemed to not be able to produce anymore energy. His movements would become as fast as Mario's his attacks even grew in comparision to Mario's. Even though Mario had the help of his ancestor. Kyrian's new-found power competed against his. As if they were set on equal bars. It was now Mario's ancestor against Kyrian and his "helper"

But as Kyrian ran through and all to get to Mario to land one good punch. Mario would run away as fast as he could to prevent on getting some serious blows while he whiped away on Kyrian. Swinging harder than ever before. Slowing Kyrian down with each hit. But that didn't stop Kyrian as he kept on coming at him with evergrowing power.

The battle would then continue on as Kyrian kept at Mario. Clawing and slashing his armor and clothes. But never getting a solid hit as the battle continued. The two just kept on going at it with Kyrian falling down everytime Mario had tried to finish him. But he kept on getting back up to fight again. The battle was now at the point to see which one would tire out first. Which just so happened had to be Kyrian.

His body just simply couldn't keep on pushing itself to keep up in battle as it was on its last stand. It just couldn't keep up for such a long time as Kyrian's skin was burning with energy. He was basically now smoking as his skin was hissing at touch. But it didn't stop him as he tried to continuously try and get a clean hit on Mario. But Mario had taken advantage of the situation as he seemed to catch sight of Kyrian's sudden slow mobility. In which he would dart behind Kyrian and send a low kick against his legs. Causing him to become caught off balance. Before Kyrian knew it. Mario had appeared infront of him and grab him by the face. To only then slam him hard against the ground. Causing the earth below him to take the sudden impact and crack underneath. With one smash like that caused Kyrian to bleed from the head. Making him still for a moment. Only then did Kyrian attempt to lash out again before being slammed once again into the earth. Causing him to fade into darkness. . . .

Making him once again. Return to the stone walls
