Retane heard the two siblings behind him, try to keep up. It seemed that Dante was actually trailing and Reatus was toying with him, or the other way around. Retane grinned as he leapt up onto a branch and hopped backwards as the namekian siblings passed by. The Emerald Warrior dropped down as they passed him and stood there for a moment, folding his hands and thinking. He wondered how long they would travel forward till they noticed that he was no longer ahead of them.
As they passed the last of Retane's debri cloud they kept up their run for another few moments before the brothers started to slow. The Emerald Fiend let his visage turn into a sly grin as an idea popped into his head. His entire body began to glow for a few moment's before subdsiding into a dark green bodysuit that covered his entire body. The slits where his eyes had been were neon green illuminescent, and glowed in fury. There was litterally no part to tell who he was other then his hieght, so the warrior crounched a bit, almost as if he was in his feral stance, but not fully. It was time to test his two sons.
Retane came crashing through the Greens, at full speed tearing at trees as he passed them, letting out glutteral grunts as he moved. Dante was the first to turn towards the scene and he grabbed Reatus' arm to turn him around as he pointed, "I-It's The Green-Eyed Monster!!! It's Envy!"
Dante pushed his brother out of the way as The Emerald Fiend came crashing through with a heavy fist that slammed where the two brothers had just stood. Dante on one side caught himself on a tree and whipped around as Reatus tucked and rolled with the shove. The namekian grinned beneath the mask and charged Dante, sending a swift kick, with the young namek ducked. Retane expecting the block coiled his leg missing the tree, rounding about and leapt towards his prey, grabbing Dante up by the collar before he could respond.
The Emerald Warrior let out a feral chuckle, attempting to best to hide his voice. Dante struggled grabbing at his father's wrists, trying to pry himself free. The young namekian was determiend and let out his own little growl in defiance as he tried to over come his predicament. Retane let out another chuckle before he felt a hot flash of fire agasint the back of his head. The green warrior turned his head just enough to see that he had been hit by Reatus' first energy blast. It was weak but a good attempt. and the son born from guilt was readying another and bellowed, "You wont hurt my brother!"
As Reatus loosed his second blast, Retane couldn't help but step out the way, making Dante, the enery orb's target. Dante was quick though, seeing the blast coming straight at him, and almost instinctively quickly thrust his own to counter the blast. The two forces collided exploding right in Retane's face, blinding him momentarily, but not long enough to hinder him. He felt pride in his two sons but the namekian wasn't done with them. The Emerald Warrior fired a kick into Dante's abdomen sending him flying backwards into a role. He turned to his other son, who seemed to be recovering from almost hurting his own brother and charged him.
Reatus couldn't gather himself fast enough and also took a swift kick into the woods. Retane gave a little snicker, and glanced both ways before charging in the direction of where Dante had been sent off two. As he found his son, the young namek was already on his feet with two orbs of glowing energy in his hands, ready to be despelled. Retane didn't flinch and charged on. He dodged the first attack and the second ball of glowing ki was met with one stronger, as the Leader of The Horsemen fired his own blast of energy, which consumed the young namek's blast and hit him head onbefore Dante could defend himself.
Before the debri could settle, Retane had his son up in the air. again, this time, his son was nearly limp, "What can you do without your brother around? Do you think he will always be there to save you?"
Dante's vigor fired back in his eyes but, Retane laughed and unmasked himself, revealing who he was. The young newborn tried to utter a protest of confusion, but Retane could only smile and lower his son down with a kneel. "I'm sorry, but I had to test you and your brother's skills. I felt you guys were strong, but I wanted to know how strong."
The child named after the Abyss took a moment and smiled back after understanding, "How did we do?"
"You two impressed me very much." The namekian paused for a few moments before he continued. He felt deep down that Reatus had company. Company that wasn't him and turnedabout waving Dante to follow.
-------------
Reatus rolled through grass and leaves before he came to a stop. He popped up and started to charge back and help his brother, but he heard the words, "HEY! Who's out there?!"
The young namekian paused for a few moments looking at the direction he had come from and then to the voice that called out. the dark grey clad warrior would get himself and his brother some help, he thought. Father would be back to help them if they just held off long enough. He would realize they weren't right behind him anymore and come back to help them agasint the Green-Eyed Monster. TIll then the young boy had to get more recruits. He ran towards the voice, hollering , "Help!"
Before he knew it, he was looking at a strange vehicle, with two long pointed ear humanoids and a orange and light yellow animal as it's occupants. He recognized the blonde haired one from his dreams in the egg. Reatus had called out to him, wanting to make his father proud before he had ever been hatched, and here the figure was, with friends. Retane would be so happy with him.
"What do you need help with? We'll help you and perhaps you can help us with finding someone", the golden haired figure asked as he figetted with the goggles on his head.
"The Green-Eyed Monster, Envy! He's after us. I need help saving my brother before he hurts us, just till Father comes back!" Reatus pointed back in the direction he had been and the stranger revved up his motor, "Hop in, we'll help you out."
One of the other's moved to say something, but a green outfitted warrior dropped from the trees, his mask on, as he looked from Reatus to the trio on the dune buggy. Dante ran up beside his sibling and grabbed at his brother's arm. Retane looked back at the trio, charging both arms with his feral wind and summoning two orbs of energy, "No, ignore what he said. Who are you and who are you hunting?"
"I'm Jak Mar, this is Daxter, and Torn." The elvish creature had elvish ears, but it looked like a mix between Tapion and the elves he had seen.
"And are you hunting" The namekian barked.
"The Leader of the Horsemen. We were called out to come and join him." Jak answered with confidence and a grin.
Retane heard the words and snatched his mask off, "Well you've got him! Who asked you to come join me?"
"I did, Father" Reatus answered. Confusion was in his voice, but he kept going, "RIght before we hatched, I thought I would help you, and called out. He answered and accepted. I hope you don't mind..."
The Leader of the Horsemen took in the words and wanted to grin. His son had made a choice. Retane looked at the three trying to to figure out his next course of action, but the rodent answerd, "That's Retane! He was involved in Dante's Abyss, just as you Jak. He finished in the Top Eight!"
Jak Mar looked back at his companion and turned to the namekian, "Well he got lucky, I suppose. I finished What was it, tenth?"
"You finished twenty first, man", Dax snickered under his breath.
Retane paused for a few moments and looked back to Reatus and stared him in the eyes. After a few moments the warrior decided and with a confirmational nod, "Fine, if that's what my son did then, and if you are wanting to join The Horsemen, then lets put you guys on a trial mission."
"Hah! Bring it! We can handle anything you got 'Green Bean'!" The elvish warrior was cocky.
Retane nodded with a grin and as his energy and the wind subsided, he started summong the shadow mist from the Mark and Sigil of Lythia that was on his arm. Inirtias quickly appeared and looked around at the situation before returning his glance towards the Emerald Warrior., "What's going on?"
"You are going to escort two of them back to the base to assist with operations-"Retane stopped as he was interuptted.
"Oh no! Dax isn't leaving my side!" Jak had to interupt. Torn nudged him in the back but Jak grinned, "He's my commander, he can really help in the base! I promise!"
Retane paused for a a moment and pointed to Inirtias to show Torn the way back.
-----------------
Retane had hopped in the driver's seat, and after a few times of crashing into trees the green warrior got the hang of it and started driving through narrow paths, as the other's held on for dear lives. Jak Mar had pointed things out, sometimes hollering, other times laughing. The three in the back shared the same emotion sometimes, the namekian chidren really having fun for the most part and laughing along the way. However, the forest oppended to where a river flowed almost instanteously.
The Emerald Warrior tried to hit the brakes, but nothing happened. They were charging to fast towards the river , and his instincts kicked in. Just before impact with the flowing water, he leapt upwards into the air, sending a amall barrage of eneregy at the ground of the buggy, propelling it in the air.
The remaining four occupants were sent airbourne, and Retane moved himself into action. He dashed towards his two sons sanpping then both up, both cluching him as he did. He spotted the other two as he did heading straight for the ground, faster then the buggy was going, and would soon to be smashed by their trajectory. The Emerald Warrior gritted his teeth and let out a low growl as he dashed towards their two new companions. No one was going to die on his watch when his son had called out for them.
The Leader of the Horsemen snatched onto the elven one and his orange comrade, not long before they would collide wit the ground. Before they did, he jettisonned himself parralel with the ground dropping all four when he could, before Retane, himself slammed into the ground.
He felt his body dig into the surface of the earth and took the pain.
After a few moments, he looked up and saw a new looking down at him, "Well what do we have here", one asked.
As they passed the last of Retane's debri cloud they kept up their run for another few moments before the brothers started to slow. The Emerald Fiend let his visage turn into a sly grin as an idea popped into his head.
