"I doubt the Nictucs will be attacking personally, we haven't done anything to antagonize them ourselves," said Ponic shifting his shadow to the back of the tunnel. As they continued to move, the barrage of shadows from the ground would slowly begin to lesson bit by bit. From above them there would be a whizzing sound that shot by and then vanished in the distance. Once the trio of Ponic, Keera, and Rem had made it to the overarching hill they would be able to see into the Velut village. A large shadow like cloud was swarming over the village, with pillars of shadow shooting down onto the ground. "Those are Nictucs," said Ponic, "why are they attacking?"
"Who knows," said Keera, "but we need to hurry down there." One pillar, however shot toward Rem, Ponic, and Keera. When it impacted the ground there was a blast, and from it emerged a fully armed Nictucs. They didn't look much different from Ponic and Keera in terms of their appearance. There was a certain angularity to their faces, however, that a Nictuc possessed which Veluts did not. This Nictuc was armoured and radiating shower, clearly a soldier. "Stand down," called the soldier, "on the floor, immediatly!"

All of this was a lot to take in. But Rem knew that what to do now was help these people, but then this Nictuc appeared, and Rem didn't like him one bit. Rem glared at him. "Excuse me?! Who do you think you are, tough guy? I will not be intimidated." Rem said, drawing his sword and shield. "I suggest you head back up to your little cloud, and call off your attack."

"Last chance," repeated the Nictuc soldier, beginning to radiate with shadow energy. "This village is under suspicion of harbouring Irates, all Veluts are under curfew and that includes you, human. On the floor now!"

Rem narrowed his eyes. "You aren't in charge of me." Rem then took a defensive stance. "Make me, tough guy." Rem said. And based on the fact the Ponic and Keera begame mutes, he assumed they wrent backing down either.

Well they had actually left...
Ponic readied shadows, as did Keera. "You have no right to march into a Velut village and strike at us," warned Ponic, "go back, now! We have no affiliation with the Irates."
The Nictuc continued to burn shadow energy. "You were warned," he said. With that the shadow shot off of him and burst up from the ground like flames made of shadow moving to strike all three of them and quickly numb them up so they'd be easy to collect.

Expecting an attack, Rem was prepared to dodge, as he jumped out of the way of the Nictucs attack. He then swung his sword a few times, sending sword waves of light at him.

The Nictuc dissolved into shadow and vanished in the ground before the sword waves of light struck at him. He then reappeared from the ground between Rem, Keera, and Ponic and shot out shockwaves of shadow energy to separate them. Ponic and Keera were knocked back, but Ponic recovered first and met these blasts with a large burst of shadow that he sent back at the Nictuc to have the two waves meet together and blow each other up.

Rem was knocked away by the waves, as he quickly put his shield up to block more of the waves. Rem then punched the ground as his hand glowed green. A slanted slab of earth shot out of the ground to strike The Nictuc. It was flat so it wouldnt stab, but more like strike.

The Nictuc dissolved into shadow particles, dispersing on the ground. Keera and Ponic both had shadows flowing around them, awaiting the next strike of the Nictuc. "This is what I mean by different Shadow Wielding," said Ponic. "Nictucs manipulate shadow on a deeper level than a Velut can, it's why they are so powerful. Keep your eyes open."
Suddenly, very quickly the shadow converged beneath Rem and the Nictuc reformed behind him, going to grab Rem around the neck. Shadow encased the Nictuc's strong arms, that would leave a freezing feeling against Rem's neck, which would be painful in and of itself. This all happened extremely quickly...

Now Rem's battle reflexes were good, but not that good. He did get grabbed by the neck, but that didn't mean that he was finished. He then grabbed the Nictuc's arms, and sent high voltage electricity through the arms.

The Nictuc's shadow around his arms, however, were blocking the incoming electricity. However, Rem was not fighting alone, and suddenly the shadow around the Nictuc soldier's arms would get slowly ripped away as Ponic stood by pulling the shadow from the Nictucs arms. The Nictuc shouted as a small layer of the shadow was yanked away and he was shocked by the electricity. Keera quickly called on shadow to grab a hold of the Nictuc and hold him down for a brief moment...

Rem was able to break free from the Nictucs grasp. Rem then charged up a large ball of burning ice, as he fired it point blank at him.

The Nictuc was struck by Rem's large ball of burning ice (oxymoron incidentally). He shouted, unable to move or counter while being held by Keera and his powers being downed by Ponic. The Nictuc stepped toward Rem and then fell flat on his face out cold. Keera panted, "fighting Nictucs, this is going to be a challenge," she mentioned.
As if on cue there would be a loud explosion coming from the village. The cloud of Nictucs had dispersed and Nictucs were moving through the Velut village. Ponic's eyes widened for a moment. "That's fire, the Nictuc army is attacking the village. We need to get down there quickly," said Ponic, not even waiting for an answer and running for the village.
I was too young to stop the Ulters, but I won't let this happen again. I won't let the Nictucs do this to us! Ponic thought to himself. Keera looked down at the village, a look of worry and saddness in her eyes and then went after Ponic, gesturing Rem to follow.

Rem, rather then simply run after, started his jet boots, and tried to fly a head. If Rem got there ahead of time, he might be able to help.

As Rem flew over the village before he would begin landing, he'd see something up ahead coming through the clouds. The Nictuc army's cloud arrival appeared natural, and was consistent of Nictucs riding in the energy of shadow that they had flying off the ground. Another cloud was approaching the Velut village, but it was clearly NOT the same as the Nictucs. This probably meant it was not reinforcements. This cloud looked mutated and wrong, with oddly jagged edges and seemed to have shadow dripping from it...

As Rem neared the village, he saw the second cloud coming. Reinforcements? But we've barely done anything yet.....Could it be something else?....When Rem landed, he quickly tried to do what he could to help those there. Rem fired off fire rocket attacks at the streams of shadow to disrupt them, and possibly cause the Nictuc's to fall helplessly to the ground.

The Nictuc soldiers, however, were extremely well trained and met Rem's attack with a large wall of shadow that spun around them as the four Nictucs that were surrounding Rem swept shadow around them. "Enough, human," shouted one of the Nictuc soldiers, "this is none of your affair." The soldier shouted this in an extremely authoritative voice.
Rem would feel a message from Ponic telepathically. Rem, Keera and I are deeling with Nictucs near us, are you all right?

I'll be fine. Just got a small squad to deal with. They should of sent more. "Well when you guys attacked me and my friends, you make me it affair." Rem said. Rem then suddenly changed into the darken form, which this form resisted shadows better then his normal self. Then the moment he changed, tentacles would burst out from his body at all four of them from different directions.

The four Nictucs began to radiate shadow, which seemed to be one of the tell-tale signs that a Nictuc was about to Shadow Wield. The shadow on their bodies suddenly burned and expanded, striking at the tentacles and holding them at bay. The same soldier then spoke to Rem. "This village is under suspicion of harbouring Irates or Irate sympathizers. Our people have been infected by the Irate virus, and all suspects are to be detained until further notice. Stand down, human, final warning!" Despite the Nictucs meaning business, unlike the Irates they were not mindless killers. They were conducting themselves like an occupying army...

"What gives you the right to just assert yourself over whoever the hell you want!? Everyone in the realm hates the Irates, why would these people care about them? This entire realm is nothing but a racist mess." Rem said, pulling his tentacles back, seeing they did nothing. "I wont let you just conquest over these people, and I sure as hell wont let you conquest over me. You want me to back down? Make me!" Rem said, smirking with a jaw full of fangs. Darken Rem was.....hard to reason with.

"The security of our people, that is what," answered the Nictuc soldier. The Nictuc soldiers combined shadow energy and it became a large pillar of shadow that moved like a snake. The large amount of shadow shot towards Rem to strike him right in the middle of his body, with extreme force...

Rem quickly jumped into the air to dodge the oncoming attacks, but then shot his tentacles back at the ground around one of the Nictus', and he then pulled his entire body down at him. He planned to crush him into the ground, and then jump right at the next soldier.

The Nictuc was struck by Rem's tentacles but quickly backed up by his associates that ran around Rem and had shadow grab onto his Darken form. The shadow would then abruptly grab onto Rem and speed to the ground in a different direction to slam Rem onto the floor instead of on the Nictuc soldier.
Meanwhile, the cloud that Rem had seen was coming closer and beginning to approach the village...

Rem was slammed into the ground, but he walked it off pretty easily. Ponic, Keera, do you guys see that second weird cloud thing coming this way? Rem then breathed out masses of chaos darkness at the attacking soliders.

The Nictuc soldiers were struck by the chaos darkness, one was pushed back, striking against the ground with a grunt, while the other brought large waves of shadow upward to cover Rem and leak into his body and attack him from the inside on an molecular level. In response to Rem's question there was a clear pause and then Ponic returned telepathically, and his tone sounded worried. Ponic was rarely ever worried, so this would likely be a trifle bit unnerving. Rem, that is Rickta, and the Irate infection she absorbed. She's going to strike the village! We need to get her away from here, if she infects the village, then it's all over!

Rem covered himself in a dome of the chaos darkness to protect him from the shadow attacks, then he got the message from Ponic. He wasnt sure what to do at the moment, but he knew he didn't have time for these shadow chumps. "Sorry guys, but I gotta run." Rem then slammed both arms into the ground, causing a massive short range earthquake, and shockwaves. After he jumped away from the battle while that kept them busy. He moved somewhat out of the village, onto the highest thing he could get on, then fired off chaos darkness at the cloud.

Once Rem got up and would launch his chaos darkness at the cloud, it would go straight in, but the large cloud appeared to absorb it and despite a slight crackle, kept moving onward at the village. Shadow blasts and would also meet the cloud, and Rem would noticed Ponic, levitating himself and Keera, attacking the large cloud. Ponic was attempting to take control of the shadow within and push the large Irate cloud back. "Keep firing on it, it can't be invulnerable!"

Rem didnt look pleased to see his attack did nothing. So what could he do? Then he got Ponics message. Rem changed back into human form, and fired off beams of light at the cloud. He wasn't sure what power would work best right now though. "Something has to work....."

The cloud continued to advance despite, Ponic, Keera, and Rem's continued attacks on it. There was a throaty laughter that seemed to come from the cloud as it approached the village. It was unmistakably Rickta's voice. "The Irate race shall grow stronger," she called out. The cloud suddenly parted in a specific section and fired down large beams of Irate shadow down into the village, likely at other Shadow Wielders, Nictucs and Veluts alike. Ponic called out, "there strike that opening," he shouted at Rem and Keera. Keera quickly focused her attacks into a single orb that crackled with energy, which she launched at the large cloud. Ponic gathered shadows from around and made a similar attack like Keera, although he seemed to be able to magnify the power a bit to give it that extra kick...

Rem quickly formed a large amount of light stars around him, and fired them off at the opening that appeared. Could they even kill her now? She was simply a mass of spirits. How can you kill whats already dead? These thoughts went through Rem's mind as he attacked.
