The lands of WAR, neopets style.

[Chaos]

Chaos looked at the creature for a moment before crushing the crystal in his hand. "I believe that such a beast deserves an honorable fight." He said as he began removing his armor. After all of his armor was removed Chaos stood before the beast, wearing only his leggings and his tattered sash that wrapped around his waist. He bent down and touched his armor, starting a reaction that liquified it, as well as his sword, the newly formed liquid slithering up his right arm before stopped at his right shoulder, creating a single pauldron.

[Izah]

The leopard continued to eye him, tilting her head slightly, wondering what he was doing. She rolled over onto her belly and wriggled on the ground, scratching her back before hoping up and getting ready to pounce.

[Chaos]

The man looked up at the beast and smiled to himself, it had been a long time since he fought unarmed. After pondering for a moment if this was a wise move he reminded himself that nothing he ever did was considered wise. In an instant he was off, charging towards leopard at top speed, each step forward causing the earth beneath his feet to crack slightly. When he was close enough to her chaos pushed off the earth with a quick spring, bringing his leg down towards the beasts lower spine.

[Izah]

The leopard waited until Chaos was mere meters from him before pouncing off to the right and as she landed, she spun around and charged at him, mouth open wide in a hiss.

[Chaos]

As the man touched down onto the earth he dropped down into a crouch, pushing off the ground once more towards the charging leopard, as he neared his target he held out his arm to his side, flattening his fingers as his arm became surrounded in a red aura, the bandages on his forearm burning up as his nails grew to their natural length, sharpening into points. "Beast versus beast, a truly wild battle if I do say so myself." as he eyed the beasts throat.

[Garrett]

He stepped back. "Now that it's dead, what's the point?" The body hit the ground and bounced. "It's like you sucked all the flavor out of the popsicle and handed the leftovers to me." There was slight hatred in his eyes, hatred that could consume his entire being. He tried to think of some music he liked and calmed down.

[Chaos]

Chaos shook his head, looking at the sky for a moment before speaking out loud. "One who cannot master their emotions cannot hope to master the true essence of balance. Chaos and order, sanity and insanity, light and darkness. Many will fight using the power of one side over the other, however those who understand this balance can use both sides to their advantage. Accept your hatred, tap into that darkness."

[Izah]

The creature snarled and jumped up and over Chaos at the last moment. She leapt over him and sprinted to Izah,getting put a rather loud roar before laying herself down at his feet. Izah chuckled, "She never did like to get her fur dirty." He rose to his feet and drew his greatsword from his back keeping an eye on the shadows. "Hello, Garrett." he said before shorting a small burst of left over energy towards the unarmed Chaos.

[Chaos]

Chaos stood up and looked directly at the incoming blast, raising his blacked arm at it instinctively. In moments his forearm became surrounded by a dark energy, spiraling upwards towards his palm. The ball of energy that formed instantaneously was enormous, it's radius large enough to block chaos from sight entirely, and then in an instant it shrunk to the size of a child's marble toy. Chaos released the small pearl of energy, firing it directly at the blast from Izah, the resulting collision causing a devastating explosion. As the two forces met the earth around them shattered, and while the dust rose a faint outline could be seen of a tall unarmed man walking towards his attacker.

[Lance]

Nathan took a seat next to a tree watching the events unfold.

[Izah]

Izah let out a bellowing laugh and doubled over, using his greatsword to keep him from toppling over. After a few momenta, he collected himself and was still grinning as he merely watched the man move towards him.

A shadow silently wrapped itself around Nathan and dragged him back into the darkness.

[Garrett]

"Hey," he replied. He leaned on the tree Nathan sat by. His hatred wasn't toward Chaos. It was Speed. But now it was nobody. There was no hatred. Speed doesn't exist anymore.

[Chaos]

Chaos appeared behind Izah, the dust from the blast still settling in that instance. "Cute" He said, shaking his head but grinning approvingly. He looked around for a moment before speaking again. "Now to find myself an opponent."
He watched Garrett for a moment before thinking to himself. "Garrett when's the last time you've had a serious fight."

[Lance]

"Hi Garrett." Nathan said smiling as he was being dragged into the darkness. "...Well this is gloomy." A massive amount of light shot out around Nathans body seeming to take the form of a beast for only a second.

[Garrett]

"Serious? I don't remember having any."

[Chaos]

"Time to change that"

[Garrett]

"Oh, really?"

[Chaos]

"Actually I do believe that Izah wanted to fight you."

[Garrett]

"Why did you say actually?"

[Izah]

As the light from Nathan's body eradicated any darkness nearby, a small, lone creature stood around 5 meters in front of Nathan. It seemed to be made up of wispy cloth and black smoke and stood only half the height of Nathan. It's faceless form merely stood there as if observing Nathan.
