The Quest - Book 1 Ch. 35
By Eliad Sholomovich

Raziel went wide-eyed "K.K..Kain how is it possible?" Kain motioned with his hand and Ryu and Ken were locked in magical chains.

"Did you and that foolish master of yours think you'd defeat me" Kain said and unsheated his Soul reaver.

"B.But the chains should have stopped your powers" Raziel said and walked backwards. Kain approached "Oh but they did negate my power" Its just I always carry this" He said and took out a white bladed dagger "Pure Adamantium cuts threw everything except the soul reaver."

Raziel gathered his courage "I defeated you once and i can do it again" Raziel said and swung his reaver. Kain sidestepped and kicked his back.

Raziel flew forward and crashed into a wall. Raziel slowly rose to his feet. But fell again when a bolt of lightning hit his chest.

Raziel looked at Kain's looming form in fear. "Go ahead finish it" Raziel spat. Kain picked him up with his telekenetic power and threw him across the room.

"Your not worth the energy" He laughed and picked him up by the neck.

Meanwhile Ryu and Ken woke up. "What happened?" Ken asked. Ryu fought with his bounding chains but his efforts were in vain.

They looked at the battle. "Who's that?" Ken asked. Ryu thought "Ken do you remember when we searched for Shadowbane and we found him fighting a huge guy?". Ken nodded

"Thats him" Ryu said.

Kain opened a portal and spoke in Ancient Nosgothian to Raziel "Tell your worthless master to come and face me"

He threw Raziel threw it. It blinked out of excistance and Kain turned to the two Street fighters. "Ahh you've awaken from your little slumber mortals"

Ryu narrowed his eyes "Who are and what do you want?" Kain rubbed his chin

"I am Kain the Lord of darkness king of all vampires. And I want to destroy you and all the other mortals"

Ken asked "Why?". Kain laughed "None of your business you meaningless maggot"

Ryu asked "If thats correct why are we still alive?" Kain crossed his arms."You and your little friends are important in another plan I have."

"What have you done with them you monster" Ryu yelled Kain laughed "They are alive except the blond girl and Foolish ninja. They weren't worth the energy it would of taken to save them.

He laughed while Ryu and Ken sat silently fuming at the remark. Kain sat down in the corner and summoned a green globe. "Where are you little Master of vampires"

Then a portal appeared. And threw it stepped A huge bulk man. He had red skin and glowing yellow eyes. He had horns sprouting from his head. Leathry skin and a long tail.

His fingers brandished long claws. and dozens of spikes came out of his back. "Kain old friend its been a while"

Kain rose to his feet "Well,Well if it isn't Diablo the lord of terror. Why have I been honored with your presence oh mighty one"

"I rule the vampires now Kain so don't cross my plans again" Kain laughed "Are you threatening me? You worthless little bug. I remember quite well the day I beat you into a bloody pulp."

Diablo cracked his knuckles "That was in the past now I can defeat you and anyone I want" Kain chuckled "Is that a fact. Fight me then little demon, I'll teach you a lesson or two"

Diablo nodded "As you wish you fool"

Kain shot a bolt of lightning from his hands. Diablo blocked it with his hand. Diablo raised his hands and fire burst out of the ground under Kain.

Kain was enveloped with flames. His eyes glowed in red and the flames entered his body.

Kain jumped forward in great speed and kicked Diablo's chest. Diablo was sent flying. He crashed into the wall. He tried to free himself. But his spikes were stuck in the rocky wall.

Kain unsheathed the soul reaver "Prepare to return to the limbo Diablo" Diablo raised his hand and a large staff appeared in his hand.

He pointed it at Kain. A green beam hit Kain's chest. He was sent flying backwards into the wall. He rose to his feet. "What is that power?"

Diablo laughed and pointed it at Kain. It shot a beam of fire. Kain raised his hand and summoned a magical shield. Kain strained under the power of the beam and soon his shield collapsed and the beam hit his chest.

Kain rose to his feet. Diablo laughed "Brilliant am I not. This staff triples one's power. No one will be able to stop me not even you Kain"

Then a force hit Diablo's back and the staff flew out of his hands. It was surrounded by a blue aura. It levitated and landed into someone's hand.

Both Kain and Diablo turned to see who it was. "Is this a private battle or can anyone join" the figure spoke with laughter.

It broke the staff. The power disappeared and the staff burned. "NOOOOOO!!!" both Kain and Diablo shouted.
