It was him. The dark manipulator. The one and only Riser.
But this time around, his visage had changed; as had his power. He was noticeably more powerful, invoking a sense deep within Ialo that this was the seem being he waged war with five years prior. The meaning of his new appearance however, was entirely unknown.
His hair was chopped much shorter, and his trademark cloak had disappeared. In its place, a blood red vest with a massive silver mane around the neck. This shaggy collar gave the odd effect of making Riser's face appear larger than it really was, a most chilling image. He wore a loose slung belt with a large buckle over a pair of slim-fit jeans with a massive patch on the right thigh.
Most noticeable however, were the strange armaments he bore. Around his right forearm, his left shoulder, and his left shin were massive chitinous structures.
What shocked Ialo, was that he sensed what he thought was an aura from each of these.
"Bow down, you sniveling snake."

Ialo snorted as he stood up. "No," he said belligerently. "Don't you get it?" He crossed his arms, staring across the lake. the multiple auras unnerved him, but...
"I'm not scared of you, you'll have to do better than that." Normally, Ialo would not have said anything, but he was insulted - a snake!

"I've regained what was taken from me snake, you'll not best me again."
That eye on the mask, that sobbing eye contrasted so eerily to the harsh words spewing from his mouth.
He shot forwards, right arm primed back.

"I've taken nothing from you!" Ialo spat. He did not charge at Riser, but he jumped in the air ((taking a LOT of self-control not to sing Ultimate Destiny here)) and transformed into his dragon self. Ialo's scales were darker than when Riser had last seen him, and they had a gloss that was rather reminiscent of glass.
"" the dragon growled from the air.

"I never said you specifically. After all, you're still but a pawn in my army, remember?"
Defying the laws of physics as he often did, his left leg swung back and his body followed, sending him flying straight up at the dragon upside down.
The massive claws on the left foot were ready to tear through the scales, and from the looks of them, they just might have a shot.

The dragon sighed. As usual, he had jumped the gun, and assumed Riser was talking about him. Damn ego.
A powerful stroke of the wings, and Ialo had once again removed himself from Riser's aim, giving the dragon enough time to bring his spiked tail down on the foe.

He flipped yet again, his left shoulder moving into place to block the blow. As the tail struck, a blood-engorged eyeball snapped open on the shoulder, darting around in all directions in a terrifying fashion.
So Ialo's senses had been correct. These bits of armor, they were alive. As to what the hell they were, he hadn't the slightest clue.
"Reject." One command, and the shoulder creature emitted a painful radiation of energy that knocked the dragon away.

"" Ialo's growl was cut short in favor of a loud roar as he was knocked back. So, Riser had a few new toys. Fine. Ialo could match that, he felt. The roar turned into a scream, a sonic attack from afar that caused the trees to bow in the blast, and the waves of the lake to churn. Now, Ialo was over the lake, and he had every intention of drawing as much power from the water and the air as he could.

He dropped. Plummeted like a stone straight into the depths of the northern lake.
As the dragon began to wonder what had happened, innumerable mouthed tentacles began to shoot from the water and burrow between the dragon's scales, seeking out the soft flesh beneath.

Ialo screamed again. The heat he had created within his body was too much, and the tentacles were scorched, blue and white fire licking from the dragon's body and traveling down the victim till the flames hit the surface of the water.
