Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I am ready" Said Markus, sitting on a tree-branch in the clearing. He wore A long sleeved black shirt, which hid thick chainmail. He had a double layered shoulder pad on each shoulder, made of leather, and rough plate was put over it. He also wore thick, black leather boots with a small silver spike on the tip of each. He had two loose belts on his waist, each containing fifteen finely-moulded throwing knives. He held in his left-hand a fine silver Magnum Pistol, and in his right a long curving short-sword. He had a thin bandage around his eyes, hiding them when they flashed crimson, but his accute sense of sight allowed him to see through them. His final weapons were a bundle of poisonous throwing darts, disguised as white roses, to mock Siyo. But the most noticeable addition was an occult symbol on the center of his forehead, written in his own blood, it glowed faintly in the darkness. Markus took no time to waist, he jumped from the tree, and immediately threw a throwing knife in Siyo's direction, guiding it with his mind.

"Straight to the point eh?" Markus said with a grin, he waved his hand at the incoming roses, bullets and arrow, they slowed to a halt. He Let them hover in mid-air for a second, he then crushed them with his mind. He threw one of his White Roses at Siyo, and sent a powerful mental blast, strong enough to disorientate Siyo for a second. He then sent another throwing knife at him, and shot a bullet at Siyo's stomach.

Markus ducked out of the way, tripping Siyo up as he went. "It takes a lot more than a mad-dash, Hunter!" He laughed, and pulled out another throwing knife. He threw it right inbetween Siyo's legs, "I won't miss a second time." He said jovially.

Markus grinned, coily. "I do not know how to fix this, but I know someone who can..." He dropped to his knees, groaning, his hair starting to blow in the breeze, it slowly began to turn grey, as did his eyes. His facial features morphed slowly, until he resembled Cailfis...
"I remember you." He said mellowly, "I remember slaughtering your family like little piggies." He pulled out the rose, and sniffed it. "It's evil refreshes my soul.." He said softly, as it turned to ash. He held out his arms, and lightning crackled in the distance.. His clothes changed to a long trenchcoat, black pants, and black hobnail shoes. He smiled. "Hello little hunter, your family were my dinner you know, no better than pigs, they died squeeling, I spared you for a cruel joke, and it's worked, your family will never return and I took them away..." He kept muttering other such things in Siyo's head as he slowly began to regenerate from the poison, it had infected Markus' body, not his... "The Poison has finished it's effect, without inflicting any harm on Markus' body, for it doesn't exist whilst I am here..." He smiled crookedly, revealing a pair of silver fangs, his eyes widened. "Dinner Time." He said with a thin smile.

Cailfis looked at the looming scythe, and instinctly fell to the floor, the blade just missed him, but when it swung back it managed to make a long cut down his torso. He moaned in pain, and stood up, his smirk gone. "Enough of this damned competing!" He Yelled, his eyes flashing red so brightly that they dissolved small eye holes in the Bandages. He looked at Siyo, and ran forwards quickly, and sent a mental blast towards him.

Siyo cut stragiht down the mental blast his eyes now glowing red. "My parents where more that pigs you peice of garbage and now i shall show you my true power"...."100%" Siyos sycthe turned black and the lighting turned into a holy light. "Die feeble monter". He lifted his weapon into the air and took another swing

"All your efforts are futile you cannot win" Siyo put his hand out and whispered "Good bye Makus"
he got rid of his sycthe and lighting surged through his hand. Siyo charged at markus smashing the roses as he went for markus's neck with one final punch

Siyo was hit by the rose in the stomach. The pain surged through his veins becuase he was in his final form the pain wat too intense. Siyo fell to the ground
