Renate smiled at Summer "Any clue what he is?" she asked both swords at hand as she deflected Dark's blade. Lunging forward with one sword aiming for his stomach and with the other aimed at his head. "So you're name is Dark? A bit cliqué no?" she laughed as he spoke to Shade, a grin at his last comment. Even Renate knew she was a skilled fighter, otherwise she wouldn't be Ares cabin leader. "Since before killing your opponent it's respectful to do an introduction I suppose knowing im Renate would be useful," her brown eyes shinning at the sound of her name. Pulling back into defensive position.
As Zeke came up she grinned. So most of the best fighters in camp were ready to take down the main evil guy. The mastermind. Or rather the master out of his mind attacking camp.

Tina ran around, dodging monsters and rolling out of the way of attacks. The little girl was an exceptional fighter with great instinct. She just hadn't awakened her potential yet. Being in a real battle terrified her. The monster were horrible. She couldn't find the strength to strike back. She was so scared. So scared. Her little hands shook on her thin bladed sword as she avoided a charging hellhound.
Silene rolled to the side, avoiding his attack. Fast. He was fast. Faster than she had remembered. She still couldnt find a logical reason why the former Hades cabin leader was attacking them. She had just gotten up when the form of Zeke entered the fray to attack their enemy. "Don't waste your powers! Ice won't work!" She shouted the warning to him.

(The more the merrier, Zeke XD.) Shade did so much as glance at Zeke. Only until he attacked, did he fully pay attention to the boy. The daggers glanced off his sword as he raised it in defense. The last one he parried with a swift strike of his own, sending it flying into the air. "My dear, it's not only ice that will not work." Shade mused at Silene's words. The dagger spun, hovering in the air, then came back down. The son of Hades caught it by the blade. His hand lit with such an intense fire that even Dark who was fighting had been momentarily distracted by the heat. The dagger melted, and he dropped it to the ground. "Another one has come to play." Shade held out his hand, the blazing black flames still dancing with heat. Slowly, like the pages in a book, the flame began to flap itself. The flame divided, and intricate black birds burst out from the inferno that played within his palm. The flaming wings of the birds, helped then glide through the air. Suddenly, the five crows picked up speed, weaving in and out in a dangerous pattern. They dove at Zeke and Silene, smooth and deadly in their flight. Shade had extinguished the remaining flames in his hands. He was concentrating on the birds, piloting them in their attack towards the two children of ice gods. His head pounded slightly. He barely used this attack because of the fatigue that would come, but he saw it fit to crush these ants under his foot with all his strength. He payed no heed to anyone else's words. He was intent on destroying the people in front of him. ........... The monster snarled at Renate, rolling back to avoid her attacks. He suddenly reached out his right hand, pointing a single finger at her. It sharpened itself, turning black like a shadow. Some of his true form was revealed. The finger turned into a long claw, shooting out to stab the girl through the shoulder, sharper and harder than any blade. "Then you have the right of knowing my name. Your end will come from me. I'll send you straight down to Lord Hades, bold girl." |

"Probably a monster from the Underworld of some kind."
Summer blinked as Dark's claw shot out to pierce Renate. Since he sounded so confident that he was going to kill her, Summer assumed that his claw wouldn't be that easily deflected by a simple blade. "Dodge, Renate!"
Summer sprang forward and aimed a hard blow at the monster's back, hoping that he would be distracted by Renate.
Skylar Grace rushed out of her cabin, her stormy eyes wide with horror. In her hand was a pretty balanced, thin sword that she had gotten from the armory a few days ago. Skylar had been training the past days, and was okay, but wouldn't stand a chance against large monsters. Skylar just stayed to the side, slowly picking off hellhounds.

Justin was watching the fight from afar. Reaching for his bow and arrows he started shooting at random monsters when he noticed Tina. Then the birds. First aiming to protect the small girl he jumped down from his hiding spot on the cabin roof and towards her his arrows flying with deadly accuracy. The others will have to deal with the birds.

Renate snickered "Good luck sending me to Hades cause babe it's not my time, I'm not going," she ended with a laughing melody from 'it's not my time' 3 Doors Down. Deflecting the claw with the blade she felt the strong vibration from the blade. Was it going it break? Well at least she had her own weapons with her. Which were more useful. Laughing she said "A shadowy claw. What are you the boogeyman here to haunt small kids in their sleep?" her eyes sparkling.
Smiling or rather grinning she suddently dropped the swords as Summer attacked from behind. Aiming a round house kick at Dark's head. She knew he wasn't a ghost now, but he was a shadow human. Whatever that is.

Tina was just about to get intercepted by another snake woman kind of thing when an arrow stuck out of her. The little girl blinked in surprise, spotting Justin jumping down from a cabin roof. Relief washed over her, but only for a moment. A few large looking snakes leapt out of nowhere. Odd, they leapt. Frightened, Tina managed to strike one, batting it away with the flat of her blade. The second one hissed...and spat poison. The little girl managed to stumble away. The stuff skimmed off her left arm. Immediately, her arm was on fire. The liquid was corrosive, and made the skin red and puffy on contact. Tina bit her lip, arm shaking in an effort to hold her sword still. Tears stung at her eyes.
Silene narrowed her winter green eyes in annoyance. She rolled out of the way of a flaming black crow. She formed a thick shield of ice in front of her. Her eyes widened. The bird slammed into the ice, and it melted a hole right through. "No way...?!" She barely managed to dodge as it dove past her, managing to brush against her arm. Cursing, she knew she had to use metal, or something. Something to get to the controller. She had to hit Shade. Her shoulder burned a small bit, and she re formed the shield of ice into daggers that she flung at Shade. She knew it was probably going to be melted, but she took into account that the boy was trying to concentrate on the birds.

Dark let out a low growl "I prefer that you not predict what is to become of your life without consulting the Fates first. They are unpredictable." The teen looking shade ducked her kick, sensing Summer behind him. Well, Shade saw him, so he did as well. He was like an extension of Shade, you could say. More accurately, he was created from the boy's shadow. He let out a low curse, not expecting this. He rolled to the side, but it hadn't been enough. Like liquid, Summer's sword passed through his side. "Not cool man..." Dark muttered, looking worried that she had hit him, even if it had left no scratch. ………… Shade tensed, suddenly a sharp pain attacking his side. He grabbed it, falling to his knees. The birds wavered, just for a moment. They reformed perfectly as he regained his intense concentration. He gasped a few times, removing his hand. Blood. His side had been cut. There was only one explanation... "Dark!" Shade growled, "What are you doing? Pay attention!" It stung a considerable amount, but at least it wasn't too deep. He turned to see Silene's daggers, then rolled out of the way quickly. The crows resumed their deadly weaving pattern, bursting forth at incredible accelerations to attack. |

Zeke sidestepped to dodge a bird who was foolish enough to attack him. He blew it away and shot a couple ice daggers at it. Glancing to his side, he noticed Tina frantically shaking a burning arm. He quickly iced it over, allowing the ice to dissolve almost instantly. He wasn't fond of the girl but he knew she held potential. Judging by how long it was taking to take this guy, whoever he was, down, they would need all the help they could get.
"Remember, Seline, I'm not as limited as you. I'm son of Boreas. Ice isn't the only trick I have up my sleeve!" Pulling up his hood, he blew back a hellhound leaping toward him strait into a rather pointy piece of ice which seemed to appear on the ground for a second before vanishing, along with the beast. Slowly, the ice around his hands grew until he weld two twin ice swords resembling Japanese katana. Quickly, in a blurred motion, he spun around, slicing another hellhound across the flank. It quickly fell into dust and the breeze blew it away. "Who are you?" he asked, glaring back at the boy who was responsible for this attack.

Dark turned at the sound of his master's calling. "Whoops...Looks like you ended up hurting your own brother." He muttered to Summer, only loud enough for her to hear. In a quick flash, he flipped out of the way of the two girls, returning to the side of Shade. He fixed Zeke with a glowing red glare, "Young master has no reason to answer to weaklings." Turning back to the son of Hades, he bent down to check out the wound. "My bad, my bad. My apologies, sir. I got careless. Here, why don't you cut the link?"
Shade glared at the the monster with a teen appearance. "And let you drop in power? I forbid it. You need to stop messing around, or I'm reporting you and getting a new shade." That seemed to both surprise and silence the creature. He scratched his black hair with a sigh before turning back. Shade knew he had to say no more. The boy was going to follow his orders and try harder. Hopefully, he wouldn't have to worry about his only friend. As Dark turned back to jump in front of Renate and Summer to resume the fight, Shade turned back to Zeke, the birds turning in and swooping around him. He stood up, the blood at his side beginning to stem to a stop. They weaved around him in a intricate pattern of an ever changing globe of fire.
"Close combat has always been my thing..." He muttered to himself. He raised his hand, another sword appearing out of the air. It smoked, as if in a mirage before solidifying. He took hold of the hilt, sliding it from its black leather sheathe. The sheathe itself fizzed into a wisp of smoke and was gone. His dual blades now matched each other evenly. The Stygian iron blades lit with a black blaze. Skeletons began to claw their way out of the ground. They ran out, brandishing their blades as if his flames had summoned them. They engaged with the surrounding demigods, one attacking Tina. The others spread, picking off annoying small fries.
Shade sprang forward at Zeke, spinning to his side, slashing with his left short sword in a quick stab, the flames licking off of the blade at the quick movement.

Renate laughed now seeing and knowing what he was. "Dark the Shade, yup definently not cliqué," she teased sarcastically "But that isn't it is it? If we hurt you Shade hurts. I wonder what would happen if I accidentally killed you...would Shade go back down with his Daddy dead or does Hades have a heart and would bring him back alive," her brown eyes shimmering caramel.
Renate kept light on her toes as she sent small daggers at the Shade in all directions, the weapons sharp and lethal. But not awaiting the outcome she sprung forward ready to fight him close combat.

Zeke glared at Dark as he spoke. As consequence for his distraction, when Shade attacked, Zeke barely missed the edge of his sword, his hoodie nearly catching fire from the heat. Turning to face Shade, he grinned, dangerously. "So, you think you have what it takes to fight me, do you?" In the back of his mind, Zeke was a little afraid of this kid but he would never let that show. Lowering the temperature around him, he conjured up a small snowfall. Each snowflake that hit Zeke seemed to be absorbed into him. "Let's play, then," he growled, stabbing in with one sword, the other slicing diagonally.
Julien stepped out of the Cabin to see a huge mass of fighting in the clearing. Slowly, he backed back into the Demeter Cabin, locked the door, and drew a knife. He wasn't taking any chances by fighting. He'd stay in here and hopefully stay safe.

Dark sprang in front of Renate. His left hand suddenly extended, the fingers all growing into long knives the color of the night sky without a moon. He knocked aside the daggers aimed for his master, and leapt forward, left hand returning to normal. He met Renate, intercepting her with a quick stab at the Ares kid. "There is no possible way I'm going to let him die, so you don't even need to ask what shall become of him if he does."…………… Shade didn't show any emotion, his face looking so deadly calm that the unmoving surface of his deadly pale skin seemed to reflect the intensity of the black flame. "I don't think." He replied bluntly to his first comment. "I know." He ducked Zeke's first swing, blocking the other with his left sword, he whirled around, bringing a hard slash down at the boy with his right, the longer blade. The flames seemed to suck og the cold air around him hungrily, evaporating any frost that came within a foot of him. The heat intensified, the temperature of the fields of Punishment. |

Silene scoffed at Zeke's words. Ice or not, if it was cold, Shade was heat. The fact that the child was one of the Big Three meant he was more powerful than the children of minor gods. Silene sprang forward to help Zeke, brandishing a celestial bronze sword she had taken from a fallen demigod. She stabbed at Shade's back while he was fighting. "You need to settle down, boy. As the Hades Cabin Leader, it is your responsibility to protect, not harm the camp! What is the meaning of this, attacking the camp, Aaron Shade?"
Tina let out a squeak, running away from the snake that had spat venom at her. The injured arm throbbed, and the girl made way for the Demeter cabin just to take shelter. Then a skeleton burst out of nowhere, driving a sword straight at her head. The girl ducked franticlly, the blade sliding straight through the wooden door of the cabin. Tina took a timid slash at the thing's legs, feeling plenty afraid. It still connected, though, knocking the boned warrior t the ground. She found the door to the cabin locked, and she tilted her head in confusion.

Zeke jumped aside, careful as to not be hit by Shade's blade. Overhearing Seline, his eyes widened, slightly. "So you're the Shade I've been hearing so much about?" he said, going on the offensive. "What in the name of Zeus is a Hades Cabin Leader doing attacking Camp, then?" Zeke was growing angrier by the minute. Still, at least now he knew what to expect. Hades, God of the Underworld. Typical powers are manipulation of a black flame and good fighting skills, as he'd witnessed with Summer, though, seeing skeletons around the area, Zeke decided to expect anything that would be involved with death, including his own death and the death of others. For the first time since he opened the Minor Gods Cabin door, he took in the fatalities around him. Many were new campers, they arrived after he did. Most were young and innocent. Angrier, Zeke's body shivered, much to his own surprise as he's never shivered, even surrounded by the ice in the Minor Gods Cabin. The air directly around Zeke plummeted and ice crystals began to form above his head. He shot them toward Shade, moving in and slashing at him.
Hearing something at the door and seeing a slash grow on the door, Julien drew his knife and slowly, silently, unlocked it. Swinging the door open, he nearly lunged but stopped himself when he saw who was outside. "Tina? Get in here!" he said, pulling her by the arm and closing the door, relocking it. He'd began to feel more and more like a big brother to the little girl since he'd first met her and now she was in danger. The way he saw it, it was his responsibility to guard and protect her.
