"EEEEENNNOOUUGGHHHH!!!" The Dark Lord roared in a voice loud enough for the entire Black City to hear. One of the lower walls of the prison tower blasted out into the street below to reveal The Dark Lord astride his Night Mare. As Venger took to the skies and began to circle over the Adventurers, all of them could hear him say, "THIS WILL BE THE END FOR ALL OF YOU!!! RRRRAUUHHHGGGHHHH!!!"

Suddenly a bright reddish magical light enveloped The Dark Lord and his steed until all were blinded by its brilliance. When the light died down, The Adventurers witnessed a horror of horrors. A reddish-black two-headed abomination of a Dragon with two sets of wings, a forked tail and gird and with that could easily match Tiamat. The Dark Lord cut loose with an ear piercing screech that shattered windows throughout the Black City.

"WHAT IN THE NINE HELLS IS THAT!!" Quake gasped, "I'm gonna need a bigger gun!"

"My Airship has enough fire power to take that sucker down but first we need to get to it, Roberts!" Bruno spat out his rum at the sight of the monstrosity.

Neven, Scribe, Irzen, Serna and Willow covered their ears until Venger was done.

Lysana was able to put Irzen down before dropping him as she and her sister covered their ears.

"What do we do now, Scribe?" The Swordsman asked almost nonchalantly, "We're kind of exposed here."

"I know what we should do," The Chronicler responded eagerly, "RUN!"

"We're doing that NOW," retorted The Swordsman, "Do you have any other bright ideas?"

"Yes!" The Drowling snapped, "RUN FASTER!"

"We have to get off the roof! Must get off the roof!" The elementalist's adrenaline kicked into overdrive and she shot passed the chronicler at a full run with amazing agility. Knowing full well that lingering behind was a bad idea and with no Weapon of Power of her own to use, it was all she had left.

"No kidding we have to get off the roof!" War Scribe shouted, "Or at least get off of this tower, its not going to hold forever."

"Really? Today is just getting better by the minute," Roberts muttered. He held back just long enough to get everyone moving to safety ahead of him, then brought up the rear. He dropped the rifle and drew his sword. It was his best option for dealing with a frikkin dragon. "I am seriously gonna have to develop a remote means of calling for an airship. This running stuff is getting tiresome."

"Roberts!" Willow declared as he looked back at the others and pointed, "Now might not be the time to stand your ground. Now it might be best to flee!"

Both Kana and Lysana morphed into their Dire Wolf form, Kana taking Neven and Serna, while Lysana took Irzen on their back.

Bruno reached in his jacket and pulled out a flint lock pistol and fired it towards the upper tier of the Black City where his ship was docked. Hopefully, his first mate would see it time.

Neven and Serna leapt onto Kana's back while Irzen hobbled over to Lysana and rode her as best he could. War Scribe had nearly reached the ground and had not slowed up one bit.

The Venger/Night Mare Monster began to dive towards the Adventurers and spewed from his mouth a black reddish fire that seemed to wash over the fallen tower and would have consumed them all had not Serna activated her shield.

Quake grounded herself and added her own earth based shield to Serna's magical one, "IT WON'T HOLD FOR LONG! LADY! A LITTLE HELP HERE!"

"Not good! Not good! Not good!" The Drowling looked back and saw the others in peril, "Does anybody have anything that can STOP that thing?!"

"Now you care?!" The elementalist skidded to a halt, "Since when do you care about us? You're the immortal, why don't you do something herioc like,--" She was cut off when she heard Quake yelling for help.
