Ambushed!

Just as I was looking at my stats, I heard a whooshing sound behind me. I quickly spun around and grabbed an arrow that almost pierced my skull. I looked around and saw Claire staring at the dense brush.

" It's an ambush," she yelled leaping backwards, narrowly dodging an arrow.

" What the hell?" I asked puzzled.

Then a horde of around 10 monsters surround us, all of them, except one, were called [Goblin Elites] and were all Level 10. The other goblin has a name tag that said [Rare Goblin Marauder] [ Level 15 ]. This one was two times my height and carried a huge hammer.

" Shit, I read about this thing, it's a boss type monster!" I exclaimed.

" You can handle a little fight can't you" Claire said readying her dagger.

" Hmph, always" I replied.

" Then let's do this!" She cried out while charging the goblins.

I extend my claws and remember that I can make my own skills, so I hope this works. I place my claws on top of each other and started rubbing them together until I could feel the heat. ' Come on, come on' I think as I rub them faster. Then suddenly it worked, my claws were flaming but weren't burning. I test it by slashing air then I run into battle.

" FLAME SLASH!" I yelled.

I rapidly slashed through an goblin who immediately burned to a crisp.

This was going to be fun. I thought, a grin on my face.

" Whistle I'm really starting to love this game" I said.

As for Claire, she took on 3 Elites and leaps into the air.

" CLONE FORMATION!" she shouted.

POOF!POOF! Two clones appeared out of smoke beside Claire and they all attack the Elites. Since they were all exact copies of Claire, they knew what move to make and were very powerful. The Claires then jump back and said the same phrase.

" SUPER CLONE SONIC SLASH" They yelled.

Boom!Boom!BOOM! A wave of never-ending slash waves crashed into all of the goblins in sight. Then after two very long minutes, it was done. All the Elites were down, but the Marauder was barely scratched.

" What?" I shouted in disbelief.

" Impossible.." Claire panted.

RRAAAAAWWWRRR!!! The Marauder roars and a cloak of darkness surrounds him. His eyes turn from red to glowing purple and his agro mode aura turns purple as well. RRAAAAAWWWRRR!! it roars again and tremors rip through the ground.

WARNING EVOLVED BOSS! DO YOU WANT TO ENGAGE?

[YES] [NO]

" What do you say Claire?" I asked her.

" I say we form a party and kick its sorry ass to tomorrow" she said.

"Ok, ENGAGE"

I clicked the yes button and the popup faded. The Dark Marauder now charges with incredible speed and knocks me back with his hand. He then catches me midair and slams me onto the ground. Claire then sent her clones to attack him, but he just hammered the ground causing them to fall. While he was distracted, I quickly run away from him and fire up my claws.

" APOLLO'S CURTAIN!" I said dragging my claws on the ground.

As I drag my claws, a wall of fire springs up and I use it to surround the Dark Marauder. It is puzzled by the wall for a few seconds then it just inhaled a deep breath, and takes in all the fire.

" Uh-Oh" I gulped.

When it sucked up all the fire, it blew it at Claire, and seeing that I wouldn't reach her in time, I activate my special skill.

" RIPPER MODE: ACTIVATE!" I shout.

My claws glow a cool blue and I start to spin. As I spin faster, some of the flames come towards me but not enough.

" Come on more power" I grunt. " PROPELLER SPIN"

When I use Propeller Spin, I start to spin faster and the flames all rushed to me. When they get to me they wrap around me and I get more energy.

" Alright let's finish this" I said still spinning. " Fire Vortex!"

I start to pull in the Dark Marauder but he throws his hammer which conks me in my head and causes me to stop spinning. I fell on the ground and the Marauder starts to pound me mercilessly. Ever hit takes one fifth of my HP and now I'm at two fifths. I look to the side and see Claire unconscious on the ground and that made something inside me stir. I never felt like this before, and it made me feel angry. Angry that I couldn't protect Claire, angry that I was gonna die, angry that I made a two bit monster defeat me well I ain't gonna take it lying down.

"AURA STEAL!!" I snarl angrily.

I stab it with my claws and all of its agro plus dark power surged into me. The power felt overwhelming but I didn't stop till I had it all.

Once the marauder was drained I unequipped my claws to fight with my bare hands.

" DARK PUNCH BARRAGE!" I snap.

My fists are coated in darkness and I run up to the Marauder and use my knee to knock him flat on the ground. Then I use my fists to pummel him, each punch I gave caused the ground to shake. I punch it in the face and I hear its neck break. When I was satisfied that it died I created a dark ball that disintegrates him when it makes contact.

After the goblins were defeated, I wait for the power to go but it doesn't vanish like it's supposed to. I try to shake it off ( haha Taylor Swift) but it doesn't move. Then a pop-up shows up and I realize why it isn't leaving.

Congratulations! You have gained a dark affinity. You will now be able to use dark magic and abilities but in order to fully utilize all the bonuses of this affinity, you must develop the affinity through practice and increasing intelligence.

" Awesome, now I have Dark Skills" I exclaim.

Then suddenly I feel a prickling sensation in my neck and my instincts told me to move. I dive to the side as a spear stabs into the ground where I was standing.

" What the -" I begin to say but I'm cut of by a shout from an approaching man dressed in white armor,with long white hair.

" Don't move heathen, you are under arrest for using dark magic to attack this poor woman" he bellows.

" What!" I yell. " That's preposterous! We were fighting a monster that had dark powers but I took them from it"

" It is true milord, I was being attacked and he saved me" Claire said.

" Really? Then I apologize," the knight said.

" If it's no trouble sire, who are you?" I ask.

" What! You mean you haven't heard of The Order of Justice, the most powerful guild in DCO?" he asked. " Well, I am Sir Lucian Hunterfeld, Leader of the White Knights in Justice City"

" Wow, you must be pretty awesome then" I said in awe.

" A true knight doesn't brag about his strength, but accepts praise when he gets it" he replies. " But yes, I guess I am pretty awesome"

I talk to the knight a bit longer and I find out that he was a player too and he was even in the set of the 11 strongest people in DCO, who were referred to as the Epic Eleven.

He then goes on to talk about the Order of Justice which was a guild in Justice City. they were considered as the most powerful guild with their leader being the strongest of the Epic Eleven. His name was Corvus, a knight who along with his light affinity had an affinity for earth and fire, which is what makes him so powerful. Corvus was, as Lucian said, a very kind by strict man. He helped anyone in need and protects that which is close to him.

Lucian goes on to ask if I would like to join their guild, causing me to get flabbergasted.

" What? You want me in your guild?" I ask.

" Because you are gifted and have a good heart from what I can see, the makings of a true knight" he said.

" But I'm a Brawler and I love being a Brawler" I said.

" Well you can't join unless you are a knight, sorry" he replies.

" That's okay, I enjoy my current life, because I always meet friends" I said happily.

" That's good. Well my friends, I shall be going" he said.

" Have a good day" I shout as he gallops away on his steed.

As Lucien vanishes around a corner I look at Claire who was staring silently. I walk over to her and scratch my head.

" Well, that was cool. I mean I just met a knight and a powerful one too" I said trying to strike up conversation.

" Yeah, I guess" Claire said. " Um... I can't believe I'm doing this but, could we make a party"

" I never thought you'd ask" I reply much to her surprise.

" What? You mean you would?" she said happily.

Alpha's Caged Mate

"Didn't forget me, Ava?" He pinned me to wall.

I bit my lip, resisting his Alpha scent...

"How did you get out?" finger traced my face.

"Do you think " I don't see why not" I smile.

" Thank you add me now, just press the button that said [ADD PARTY MEMBER]" she said.

I do as instructed and soon a popup came up.
