The trio stood against the Dark Knight who began to draw out his straight edged blade. Kaos was already scared out of his mind.

"I got to tell you though...as a thief, I have a reputation for fleeing at the point where things seem against me.", he warned.

"Theres no turning back now...We either fight or die." responded Issac.

"Who made you fearless leader?"

"um..."

"Excuse me...Evil Knight about to slaughter the last heroes here!", reminded Mia.

"Ah right. Who are you and who do you work for?!", Issac demanded.

"Hmph...you are in no position to be making declarations as of now, mage." He said. "But names are unimportant. I am known as Taisen. Who I work for...well, You'll have to find out.

"God how I hate mysteries...do I?", said Issac, although losing his memories made him forget what he liked and disliked.

"Too bad, fool. You got plenty mysteries coming for you!!! En Garde!!!"

Taisen dashed forward, preparing his sword for a wide strike.

"Mia!! Kaos!! Duck!!!", He yelled. Altogether they managed to dodge roll the horizontal blade slash and prepare themselves for a counterattack. Kaos rushed forward with his dagger drawn, easily bending away from the blade strikes and managed to get close enough to slice at him with his dagger. "That was pitiful, said Taisen. "All that manuvering for nothing?"

"Not quite.", Responded Kaos, holding up a small jingling pouch.

"My money bag!!!", Exclaimed the Dark Knight. Suddenly a whistle soared through the air. Taisen had just jumped back in time, dodging an arrow. He turned to see where Mia had climbed up. She hung on a pole mast, taking out another arrow, aiming at him again. Taisen charged forward at her, readying himself for an aerial uppercut slash that would slice her in half. Suddenly, a wave of fire charged in front of him, saving Mia the trouble of jumping of the pole. Isac stood with hands burning. They joined both blazes to create a large fireball, and launched it into several waves of miniature bombs. Easily he guarded against it, the flames bouncing off and exploding off his armor.

"Your pitiful magic has no effect on me!!", he exclaimed. "Taste some of the cursed magic every Dark knight has mastered!!!"

Suddenly he hand turned pitch black and launched a dark Thunder bolt that sent him hurdling to the edge of the ship. Issac backflipped up and drew out his staff holding it readily. It began pulsating with energy. You don't know all the spells you have, said his inner thoughts. but somewhere inside, Your instincts know it. trust them...let them breathe through you! The staff head ignited in a blue flame. it launched it out and issac caught it, levitating the sphere in his hands. He let go of his staff which hovered around him by himself. Suddenly the outline of an intricate spell circle appeared in front of him, centering around the flame held in front of him, and It exploded in a loud Bang, sending flaming bullets out burning and damaging the knight. Mia aimed two more arrows, and released. The arrows hit their mark, piercing the armor and shoulders pinning the Dark Knight against the Mast behind him. Kaos rolled in, stole his wallet and kept the dagger underneath the knight's chin.

"Is money the only thing you think about?", asked Issac.

"...No.", he replied, grinning.

Suddenly a flash. and lightning struck down in the middle of Kaos and Taisen separating them in a loud bang. The next thing they saw was 11 other cloaked people that stood carrying Taisen. The Ringleader seemed to be the blue haired man cloaked in white that stood in front while the others were cloaked in black.

"Master...", started Taisen. "I have failed."

"Obviously..." said the blue haired man. "I have guessed that a mage would be one of the many people coming after us. I expected someone to be missing of the death list after all."

"Who the hell are you?!" declared Mia.

"What have you done to my people?!" Implored Issac.

"Where do you keep your treasure?!", demanded Kaos. Everyone looked at him in question. "Um...never mind."

"Very well then. I shall tell you since the operation is almost complete.", said the long blue haired man. "I...am Master Albert. these people behind me, are my followers. especially the two besides me." He pointed at the two green haired people beside him as they were the people uncloaked and without a hood obscuring their face. They had red eyes. The one on the right was male in a purple armor that covered the top of his body while the rest was covered with what appeared to be a black undersuit. His legs were guarded by purple armored leggings. He carried a large scythe on his right hand and seemed to be grinning with excitement. His hair was long and was split into 5 large strands, wide like a cloak. The other was a girl, waring a white top armor while wearing a same undersuit, like the other. She wore white armored leggings and had long green hair, tied in a pony tail, but was shorter than the male.

"Your people..." said Albert. "Are in my custody. They won't die...just yet. But they'll outlive their usefulness soon enough."

"You b*****d!!!", screamed Issac as he rushed forward. Instantly, the male rushed forward in front of Albert and slammed his scythe downwards, bringing forward a crescent energy wave that slammed into Issac, knocking him backwards.

"Issac!!!", Mia screamed rushing towards his side, gladdening when she found that he was still alive. Issac struggled to stand up, The Male laughing maliciously towards him. "Gyahahahaha!!!!", he started. "foolish..."

"Anyway, our time here is over...We need to retrieve the fragments..."

The group dissappeared leaving them to ponder on the last word.

fragments?
