sorry i havent written in so long, I had writer's block.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Raphiel excelled well in classes. He took tailoring a bit hard since it made him feel a little girly. But Justin was there with him all the way. He wore black robes over his body suit, looking more gothic and necromatic by the week. His spells however improved with time, controling the conjurations proved more difficult when he had to fully pull them from one world into his just for an attack. Normally he did things with inanimate objects, but living vessels proved more difficult. The dean however was impressed moreso with his combat abilities aimed towards weapons and strategy. Things where looking up until he was finally put into a tag team match.

Obviously he was teamed with Justin, however once the school found out who his opponents where, they were all a buzz. It turns out that the two he had to fight was another match made couple known as Emmit and Zanna. As Justin explained Emmit was a vampire from a rough housing clan of vampires, while his partner Zanna was a living human and a pyromancer. What ade them, effective is Emmit's speed and strength and Zanna's need to make everything burn and explode for a vast ane ffective mission finish.

Raphiel walked out onto the field. Justin looking like a commando as usual and enjoying the attention his gargantuan body gave him. Raphiel however preffered to stay under his black robes. The idea was to divide them up, Justin would take Emmit and Raphiel would take Zanna. However, when they seen the others they had the idea they were over dressed. Emmit was a buff pale young man about 6'2 probably 220 lbs of lean muscle, army cut hair with preppy A&F clothing. Obviously the clothing came from his girlfriend Zanna. She was equally pale with long red hair and red eyes, dressed in a pink blouse and white kacki shorts that seem painted on. Both were barefoot but both looked hungry for blood.

Raphiel gulped, keeping his hood down so they cant see his fear, but they could smell it any way. The plan againw as to divide them up, but who knows what they where planning. The bell wrung, and time seemed to go by almost too fast. Emmit made a charge right for Raphiel, a common move seen by Justin since the vamp likes to go after weaker opponents. To counter Emiit, Justin swung his mighty arm and forced the vampire back. With that phase two came in when Zanna tried to combust the air around Justin. In a defensive tactic Raphiel brought up a black vapor that hardened into a shell and protected Justin from the fire.

Now it was their turn to lay the offensive. Justin began to hulk out, his suit becoming tighter like spandex but adjusting to his size and expanding with him for protection. He crouched down in a kneeling position so he could act as a shield for Raphiel. Raphiel parts his hands, sending black smoke into the arena, pulling life from the aether and conjuring up strange cat like beasts. They hiss and prowl, solid black like tar with glowing red eyes. They charge emmit, sweeping past him as they make a leap for Zanna. She made a thrust with both hands, causing the air around the cats to combust and destory them. She wa staken by suprise as a third cat came leaping through the flames, only to be bashed to the side by Emmit. Raphiel decided they are evenly matched for reactions but their powers are sorely different.

Raphiel decided to change tact. He hid behind Justin's meaty pillars and
used the barricade of his arms for cover. He knew Emmit was zipping around the two waiting for an opening. Then it hit him, grinning he got the perfect idea. He dropped his shields, letting justin get bonbarde with combustions and fire balls. Justin crossed his arms over his head, not knowing what Raphiel was doing. Soon all Zanna and Emmit seen was a black robed figure brandishing a chinese fencing sword running right for zanna. They both swarmed him, deciding to finish off the weakling before he can win with a goof job.

However things were a little off. He kept on running, as soon as Emmit got to him, he thrust out his palm, combusting the air around emmit with black fire and sending him backwards. He made swipes with his sword, missing as Zanna dodged them. He got a good fix on him and forced a blast right through Raphiel. Justin looked up in shock, as well as every one else when they seen a concentrated blast come through Raph's backside. The body lurches, then arches backwards. No face is seen but black smoke belloing out of the robes, the sword being dropped and the tattered robe fluttering to the ground.

Zanna coughs from the smoke, and tries to keep her guard up as she expects an ambush. They both look around, no sign of him. Justin even wonders whats going on. The dean herself looks from her box seat. This was a very good vanishing act but he had to come back at some point to finish for his grade. That soon would be made clear Emmit looked at Zanna and seen a traced of a face hiding in her hair on the right side of her neck. Zanna felt something odd, but then began to scream as a left arm lurched from her hair on the left side of her neck and covered her eyes. Raphiel hid in the shadows and used the shadows made by the drape of her hair as a window to appear.

Justin began to grin, keeping hsi defences up. Raphiel began to chant, causing smoke to come from her eyes and a light from his hands. Zanna screamed, and Emmit could only watch. Raphiel sunk back into the shadows of Zanna's hair, leaving a horror behind. Her eyes were burnt black, rendering her ability to see useless. Raphiel comes out from under Justin's shadow, his arms folded as he is revealed with his hair down and in his tight body suit. Emmit looked pissed, not only did his girl and team mate get outdone by a freshman, but a warlock class at that. He spit on the floor, every one knows warlocks were vain powerhouses but they lacked the physicality for a real fight which is why they relied on minions.

Then the idea hit Emmit. Raphiel had no real permanent demons on the field for him to draw power from. He has been syphoning energy from his victims and creating shadow spirits that only last for a few moments then vanish into nothing. He grinned, he could outrun the giant since hes small enough to slip around, all he needs is one good punch on the magician and its all over for the new guy. He zipped around in a blur so that he could not be tracked, however...Raphiel had a different plan in mind. He focused his eyes up at the lights and sent a surge through the wiring to knock them out. All went black and no one could see. Zanna got cocky, he didnt need lights to see his targets and so he went faster and tried for a sneak attack.

People heard a loud thud, thinking Raphiel got hit by Emmit. The lights come on only to see Emmit run smack into Justin's arm. What people didnt see is Raphiel channeling his body heat during the darkness so that all Emmit would sence is his heat and not the body heat of Justin. So when he went in for the kill, he ran smack into a muscle wall. The crowd sees the vampire slump to his knees and fall over, bursting into a throng of cheers. Even the dean began to clap her hands, that is until some one came into the arena.

---------------------------

Raphiel and Justin look to the opponents end of the ring and sees a new figure enter. Justin stiffened up, scared as hell and frightened. Raphiel senced this in every one, as if the devil himself walked into the arena. The dean stands up from her seat and looks a bit pale with worry. Every one knew who the figure was except him. The figure stood about 6'2, long black hair, a black shit with black pants and matching boots. He wore a white trench coat with a big collar like count dracula. The inside of his coat was burgandy red but his face was almost as white as his coat which made the impression of him being vampiric.

His eyes however, were dead eyes with red tints in them. His eyes met Raphiel's and sent a feeling through him. He felt as if a bullet passed through his brain, like death ripped out his heart, as if everything became lifeless and empty all at once. He wanted to run, but this feeling told him that running was pointless and nothing could save him if this figure even went on the offensive. The figure walks forward, the clacking of his boots in the silence became unnerving as he walked passed Zanna. His body is more visible now, showins his hands still in the pants pockets, and his hair is not bound, simply tucked behind his pointy ears.

"You think your the shit don't you?......BOY!" His voice was deep and commanding, but the shout made Raphiel wince with some pain. The man then looks at Justin. "You have been here for years and yet your still no match for me...." The words stabbed into the giant and made the big man wince as well. He then fixes his death gaze back on Raphiel. "You think your a warlock....yet you never had a demon at your side....pathetic...." He takes one hand from his pocket and lets it hang lifelessly at his side. "Fine then...time to show you just how inferior you are at this school....BOY!"

It all happened so fast. Raphiel seen it happen too fast. He heard a loud smack and seen Justin fall over backwards. The giant was out cold as he fell, with the weird man balancing on the giant's forehead. Justin lands with a loud crash, shacking the room with the man standing erect on his head. Raphiel tries to make a run for it, only to be stopped 20 ft further by the man who appeared out of thin air. He turns around, seeing the man again. He peaks around him, only to see Justin shrinking back to his origional size. The hell is this guy who can take Justin down in a single hit?!

The man walks away to give Raphiel some space and smiles. "You like spirits....fine...."He bits off his own finger and lets the blood gush into a pool on the floor. His finger soon grows back, no scars or marks. He points at the pool and looks into his reflection. "Enter this world.....with my sacrafice become whole, come forth and kill....CHILDREN OF AZMODEUS!" The blood churns and bubbles coming to life before every one. Raphiel throws up his arms conjuring the shadows around him from all sides. Then he sees the demons. They like devil men from the hips up, from the hip down they looked like snakes. They clawed their way and slitheed after Raphiel. The poor boy tried to run and clear distance, his shadow cats did little good against these spawns of hell.

The only thing to save him was a combination of shadow swords and fire spells, only to find himself battered, bruised, and clawed in many spots. The man does not smile, and dismisses his minions with a calm cool gesture of his hand. He wares his poker face still, and raises both hands. "Time to end this charade....." he begins to chant causing a ball of fire to form between his palms. "Come forth...from the endless void....come forth and take shape and form....destory my enemies and strike down the rightous and the just alike....I CALL ON THE ARROW OF......"

The spell was cut short as a bull whip strikes out and binds his wrists together. The interruption made the ball of fire vanish and for him to draw his attention elsewhere. Raphiel breaths hard seeing the whip drawn taut as the dean walks out from behind the man. "Now now.....we wont have that Lord Azreus." She uses her other hand to get a better pull on the whip, keep ing a good 8ft of space between her and the warlock.


He looks at her and smiles. "Good to see you again....shadow mistress Catriana....."
