The sound they made was like whispers in the wind. Some were too fast to see, some were too strong to fight head on, and some fired projectiles from every angle of the battlefield. All was calm now, they no longer knew where Aleister was. This was what he wanted. The Wyyvern of War was not within his site yet, but he could hear its breath and heartbeat far off in the distance. “Can any of you give me eyes on our mark?”
“First off, Target… Not mark, and I am afraid not,” Magnus replied. “Until I am Wyvern again I cannot grant you my heads-up display.”
“Do you not mark your prey for death?” Aleister inquired.
“Yes,” Magnus replied. “but above all else, one must always be on target.”
“Honestly I do not care what term we use so long as we kill it,” said Aleister.
“Use us,” said Sun.
“Yes,” said Tzu, “we are drawn to the Wyyvern.”
“Still, you are not getting through these armies without our siblings,” Sun added. “Remember, the Wyyvern is of War. Only Tzu and I can defeat it.”
“Thanks for the update,” Aleister replied followed by a sarcastic, “and for the vote of confidence,” as he swung Chastity around the wall he had his back to, through the doorway that was next to him, and into the chest of a faceless horror with one swift motion. He ripped Chastity’s blade from the horror and the wall he had pinned it to. Hubris had made the bottom half of his body like a fog that phased through obstacles in his way as he moved casually towards his prey. His ear twitched and with Magnus, who was mounted comfortably on his shoulders, he shot, dead, the horror about to pounce from behind. His ear twitched again and he dodged left, right, then left avoiding attacks from three angles. He cut one attacker in half with Chastity before ramming the other end of her shaft into the gut of another. Then he spun himself and Chastity around, slicing in every direction before filling the room with gas and moving to another position closer to his target.

A Fennec Zombie stepped on a tightened string. In a fiery explosion, knives and other sharp objects flew in all directions killing several of them. The rev of a chainsaw could be heard as an orange man stepped out from the smoke, “Hi, I am Q. It is wonderful to meet you,” he said as he stabbed his chainsaw into one zombie and shot another with a high powered handgun he had built himself. It shot knives, very small knives he also crafted himself.

A purple blur and three more zombies fell dead before they could catch Q off guard. With skill and finesse, the purple woman wielded a pair of single-edged swords with odd glowing purple designs on them, “Having trouble, Orange?” Terial asked her new acquaintance as still more fennec zombies surrounded them.

Q chuckled, “trouble is what I was looking for, Purple.”

“The horrors between us and the Wyyvern of War are countless, Master,” said Chastity. “We aren’t getting in close without making some noise.”
Aleister smiled, “Then let us make some noise.” He put his feet back on the ground unleashing Hubris’s famine and the Wyyvern of War’s armies choked on pestilence. He sheathed Chastity and holstered Magnus. Then he took a deep breath, “WAR!!!” The Wyyvern of War turned its attention and gaze to Aleister quickly and rushed towards him leaving devastation in its wake. Aleister reached behind his back and unsheathed the twin swords of War slowly. His eyes shut, he took his stance and unsheathed the retractable claws on his feet.
“How useful,” Tzu commented.
“Here, let us show you ours,” said Sun before she unsheathed her chained blades around her core blade. They were like trapezoids with sharpened edges for clashing with other weapons without locking her chain.
“I like this one’s confidence,” said Tzu as he unsheathed his chained blades from his core blade. They were curved forward for ripping and rending anything from armor to flesh.
Aleister sighed. “Alright then, 3” the Wyyvern was getting closer. “2” Aleister prepared himself, “1” then he launched himself forward using the claws on his feet for traction and his tail for balance. The Wyyvern of War came at Aleister, crashing into the ground, but Aleister was already behind it, having used his swords spinning chain blades to turn himself around. He spun Sun and Tzu in his hands and bolted up the tail of the Wyyvern of War. “How’s your aim?” he asked Sun and Tzu.
“Aim?” asked Sun.
“It is not our job to aim,” replied Tzu.
“Fair enough,” said Aleister as he jumped up into the air and threw Sun and Tzu each at their opposite of the Wyyvern of War’s twin heads. The Wyyvern of War caught the twin swords of War in its mouths and threw them down to the ground. As it did this it also wrapped its tail around Aleister and threw him down to the ground.
“That is enough Aleister,” said the righteous head of the Wyyvern of War.
“Yes yes, I agree,” said the wicked head of the Wyyvern of War.
“Aleister,” the two heads of the Wyyvern of War said in unison. “We surrender, though you should realize your ignorance towards our trials will bring conflict to your future. Now strike us down and continue your campaign.” The Wyyvern of War bowed its heads before Aleister’s feet.
Aleister held out his hands and Sun and Tzu came to him. “Why’d you have to take the fun out of it?” he asked as he put an end to the two-headed Wyyvern of War.
“We are Wyyvern!” The twin Wyyvern swords of War cried out in unison as a mark like a two-headed Wyyvern slowly burned itself onto Aleister’s back with the raw element War. Aleister fell to his knees as the mark synchronized the bond between the three of them. Just as Chastity, the Wyyvern Scythe of Death, had done over his right arm and heart. Hubris, the Wyyvern Incense Burners of Famine, had done his mark coiled around Aleister’s neck.
Aleister slowly got back to his feet, “Strife,” he said as he drew and examined Magnus who had taken his classic bolt-action rifle form. “Your turn.” Suddenly Aleister found himself loaded in Magnus’s chamber, “Wait, what the?”
“Brace for impact,” said Magnus as he shot Aleister to the realm where the Wyyvern of Strife waited.
