The Butcher Returns! (Open)

Adam remained hidden under a flipped table. He had entered the bank earlier to take out some cash when this maniac went insane after killing the security guard. He hid and listened to the carnage, too afraid to do anything after being brushed aside with a minor shoulder injury. He told himself mentally as the sounds of screams and bodies hit the floor all around him that he was no hero...This wasn't his fight. Someone else, anyone else would come and save everyone. Maybe the police, anybody, but then as the perpetrator began speaking to himself, seemingly unaware of Adam's whereabouts. The teen realized he had a decision to make. He removed his spellbook from his bag from behind the flipped table he took cover under and took a deep breath. "Hero or not, I'm a coward he whispered to himself..." He knew he was a reincarnated wizard and he knew his job in the previous life was to protect the world, but that wasn't his present life. That's not what he did and it was his choice wasn't it?



"No! How about we not." He said raising up his spellbook in his hand and his palm in a peculiar forgotten position/hand sign. It didn't matter what he did in the past or what he was doing today. All that mattered was what he would do in the future and if he could save lives, save others, he had a duty to do so. "ASHURA!" He yelled out and a sudden spinning archaic symbol or ring would appear under Axle's feet, not permitting him to exit the it's premises as long as he remained strong willed. "You've had quite enough FUN today!"

Axle turns slowly to face Adam. A look of saddnes was in his eyes however one that looked as it was almost reserved for this new apponent.

Alex shouted angrily as he seeped back into Axle's back. Axle however just stared at him with sorrow beaming from his wide pink eyes.

He said twisting the sword at his side and lightly touching the symbol that appeared at his feet.

Axles's eyes watered a bit as he heard Adam say "Whta are you?,". Axle sniffed a little and slowly put the blade up to his neck. As quickly as he could he slit his own throat and black blood went everywhere, but Axle continued to sit there just looking sad as his neck started to stich itself together.

"I- I wish I knew."

He said almost without emotion. He then drove the sword into the shield with all the power a ten year old of his stature could.

"I- I don't so..."

He said solemly as his neck finally was finnished healing, looking as if nothing had ever happened to it.

Axle looked at the ground and kicked his feet a little with a shrug.

'Like I said... I- I wish I knew."

As soon as those words were spoken several large, inky black spikes mannaged to pierce the shield. None went for Adam, but as they started to retract more bodies were now layin on the floor. Every police officer was instantly done for. Axle remained to look at Adam with sorrow as the blades slipped back into his small frail body.

T- Theres no method to the madness... O- Only madness."

Axle said with a more straight face. He then jabbed the sword as hard as he could at the barrier surounding him.
