Anne let out a sigh of relief after the shadows released her.
"Look, I am not wanting to stay here for long, our little trip to this island was a cheap detour to get me a worthwhile weapon. Our real goal is to follow the legendary path on my ancient map." the princess looked Bishop in the eyes.
"Unless you have something beneficial for me in the meantime, I gotta run and fight this Dark Messenger guy. I don't like it when people stand in my way..." Anne growled as she stomped past Bishop, then took off running all of a sudden and did a long jump over another trap within the tunnel, which was a hidden ditch filled with spikes.
"You guys comin'?" Anne looked back at them all firmly.

Dante quickly woke up when he heard some noise in the tunnel. He jumped up and pulled out a sword then he stood up and looked down the hole. When he looked down the hole he could see people. He got another rope and attached it to something in the room so he could climb back up. Then he dropped down into the tunnel. He looked and saw 3 girls, and 3 guys. Although to of the guys looked freakishly huge. He stood there with his sword in a battle ready position.
"Halts who goes there?" Dante yelled.

Fearn bounded after Anne, not wanting to be stopped by the two new men. "Stop calling me 'girl'! I'm a cursed teenager!" she barked to Bishop. She leapt across the pit full of spikes, barely making it to the other side. She scrambled up, glaring back at Bishop and Kai. "You can stop stalking us, now!"
Sprinting forward, Fearn threw her bow back over her shoulder, and tried to light another match so that she wouldn't run into a wall (or a booby trap, for that matter, seeing as this was booby trap heaven). She stopped only a few feet away from Dante, seeing light reflecting off his sword. If she had been a little less careful, she probably would have be shish-kabobed.
"Dante?" she asked cautiously. "Why are you wearing that outlandish armour? And why aren't you letting s through? It's just us, Knife, Yelena, Elka and Pere. And a couple of weird people."

Pere face was set firm against the newcomers. What they were, or who they claimed alliance to remained unknown. However, he already didn't like them. To make things worse the shadows seemed to be controlled by them and had now grabbed Pere (thanks to Anne's escapade). The ranger remained silent as the situation commenced. However, he would jump in if he needed to.

Elka leapt after Fearn, barely missing the spikes. "Hey, Dante!" she called, looking confused. "What's with the costume? And why are you here?"
Meanwhile, the two newcomers were beginning to scare Elka a little. Rolf growled at them in a voice so low that he could hardly be heard. They didn't look or act quite human. The closest thing she could compare them to was the bear that she's met once on her running route. It'd almost eaten her, and chased her for several miles before losing interest. She could only hope that these two would lose interest as well.

As the shadows began to surround them more and close in on them all, Anne backed up into Dante, in his knight attire.
"Dante! Hey, you're alright!! What's with the armor.. don't tell me you joined the army!?" Anne joked around a bit to try to make the moment more happy, despite all the tormented spirits floating around them. Anne grew rather annoyed and snatched a small sword from Dante's side. She clutched her Dragon's eye and held it out directly at the shadows. The dragons' eye began to glow brightly.
"I THOUGHT I SAID NO ONE'S GONNA STAND IN MY PATH!!" Anne yelled as the dragon's eye bursted with a large flash of light, causing an opening to appear in the shadows for them to escape. Anne held her sword tightly, charging at the opening with her blade pointing forwards. Oddly, the energy emitting from the dragon's eye seemed to bond with the sword she wielded.

Dante got closer to Anne and put his sword in her face once he was free. " I Don't know who this Dante is you people are talking about but i suggest that if you value your lives you will turn away now...." He took a step back away from Anne then got back into his battle ready postition. He looked at each of them and saw they were all armed and he was extremely outnumbered. One of the Girls looked like she was around 18 or 19 and so did the ranger. He looked at the two girls who looked like there were around 13 or 14 and one of the younger girls only had a small knife. Then there were still the two huge guys...He knew he couldn't take all of them but he could at least kill one and injure a couple of them.

"I don't understand what's gotten into you. You look just like Dante, so unless you're his evil twin, you must be him. Now move out of the way," Fearn snapped. She pulled off her bow and nocked an arrow to it.
"Dante, get out of the way or I swear, I'll shoot you," she repeated. "And I'm sure I'm not the only one who will attack you."
Fearn started scooting around Dante, trying to get around him without actually having to shoot him down. She didn't like the idea of killing a guy she had been comrades with for a while, no matter how insane he was acting.

Bishop moved his head a little when the dragon’s eye flashed and thought "What is that weapon and what are its capabilities?"
Bishop quickly noticed this one guy who seems to be also against the others and got the thinking.......
Bishop looked at the man named Dante and said "Hey, me and my friend here are good and we want to help you because I think you maybe able to help us later so do you want help or do you think you can survive alone. I mean I am controlling the shadows right now.

Anne was abruptly forced to stop as Dante stepped in front of her, pointing his blade right at her. She was already frustrated at the fact that she could not proceed to her desired destination. Her sword still glowed brilliantly in her grasp.
"Dante, what are you doing!? We are your friends! Why are you acting like this!? We're allies!! I know you remember us!!" Anne put her hand on the blade of Dante's weapon, slowly lowering it. "I don't know what the heck happened to you while I was in this ditch, but hopefully everything will go back to normal soon."
Anne turned to Bishop and Kai, with flames in her eyes. She got into a sword fighting stance. "Looks like you're not willing to give up, are you? You're taking up my time... and now you're trying to take away my friend!? No way!" the princess glared, ready to fight them.

((A'right, I've decided to jump in.))
Knight had been walking through the forest, expecting to bump into the others when he heard a loud commotion happening a few yards away. Knight ran to where the scene was and saw two large guys, who looked similiar to the shadow warriors he had ran into except more human. Then he noticed Dante, who appeared to be blocking the entrance to a tunnel. Knight hurried over to Anne and everyone else. "Who are these freaks? They seem different than the others on this God-forsaken island." Knight said, as he drew his sword. "What's happened to Dante? He seems... different."

Dante looked at the two who were controlling the shadows. He figured he needed as much help as he could get.
"Sure Assistance would be great." Dante said then he made a quick move and slashed Fearns bow in two then kicked her in the chest sending her flying back. He ran up to Fearn and was about to land a finishing blow but....Something inside restrained him from doing so. Then he ran up to Anne and started swinging his blade at her next. While is was fighting with Anne he noticed someone new had dropped down into the tunnel....This could prove to make things a little harder. He hoped the two huge guys were good fighters.

Kai started to laugh and his fangs began to show more as he seen the events unroll before his eyes. He looked at bishop and said "I know we weren’t going to fight but this is just making me to happy" and then he reached for his sword and showed tremendous speed when he moved to a closer distance to Peregrinus. His sword was out and at the neck of the young man and said "you ready? By the way my name is Kai!"
Bishop had a small grin on his face and nodded as Kai went on his merry on way. He then looked at Dante and said my name is bishop and that man over there is Kai. Bishop then put his brass knuckles on and looked at the man who just came downstairs and said do you know what I am. He then let a strong growl escape his lips. He moved closer to the guy and the girl he was by. Bishop began stretching his muscles as he moved close you can hear the noise as he cracked his neck and fingers. He raised his eyes and said what you plan on doing with that sword and with that he swung at the man in a way that if he missed he would hit the girl but he truly hoped that the man would block because he didn’t seem like the guy that would run from a fight.

Pere instintively drew his sword as the man approached. The blade attended for his neck met the steel of his sword as the collision ignited a spark.
"That's nice to know. Now, I can put a name on your headstone." The ranger said with a smirk. With a push of his sword, Pere moved back getting some separation between Kai and him. Setting his sword, the ranger studied Kai watching him intentally, prepared for his next move.

Elka edged nervously past Dante, staying as much out of the way as she could for a moment. Seeing her former friend so insane scared her. Especially how he was now trying to kill them.
After Dante'd broken Fearn's bow, she yanked a very pointy stalagmite out of the ground. "Gonna see if this works," she said to her friend, creeping up behind Dante. Winding up like a softball player, she threw the spike at Dante's back. Unfortunately, she'd never been a good aim. The spike angled oddly, more towards Kai and Bishop.

Dante saw the Stalagmite fly past him and he did a round house kick and kicked Elka across the face. He looked as Elka went flying sideways. Then he realized he now had his back turned to Anne to he rolled away from her then got back into his battle ready stance. He looked and saw that Kai was fighiting the Ranger, and Bishop was taking care of the person that had just dropped in.

Fearn yelped as Dante kicked her. She slammed into the wall, knocked dust off the ceiling. "That's gonna hurt in the morning," she groaned. Then she caught sight of her bow, which was in multiple pieces.
"I'm gonna KILL YOU!!! That took me A MONTH to make!" she shouted. Shaking her head to try to make herself less dizzy, she jumped up, looking around wildly for something to use as a weapon. She didn't want to use her dagger yet. For one, it would be ineffective, and she would get her head lopped off trying to attack with it. Second, if she lost it, that would leave her with nothing to defend herself.
Fearn's eyes stopped on the rows of spikes that came up from the ground. She took advantage of the fact that everyone was busy attacking each other and not paying any attention to her, and darted over to try and get a spike out of the ground. As they shot up again, Fearn grabbed onto one of the longer ones, and yanked it out.
All in all, it looked like it would do. The spike was 2 feet in length, and light enough so that Fearn wouldn't be weighed down by it. However, only the last foot was sharp on the sides, which annoyed Fearn. It wasn't much compared to the swords everyone else seemed to have, but Fearn was flaming mad at having he bow broken and didn't much care.
"RAAAAAAAAR!!!" Fearn growled, jumping up and stabbing at Dante with the spike from behind. She ripped the spike around to slam into the armor that covered his back. "YOU IDIOT!"

Anne noticed how everyone began fighting and retrieved one of the sharp spears that were coming out of the walls in an earlier booby trap. She noticed how Fearn, Elka, and Pere were already being attacked and ran back to aid them, now wielding two weapons.
The princess ran over to Dante quickly, then propelled herself from the ground using the spear as sort of a catapult and dropkicked Dante to the ground as Fearn attacked him also. Once he was down she went over to him, stomped her foot onto his spine, and grabbed his left arm, pulling it in an odd angle to dislocate it.
"So it ended up like this, huh!? You traitor!!" Anne yelled to him. Anne yanked him up from the ground, still with his arm in that weird position, and put her sword to his throat.
"Traitors shall be be-headed!" Anne noticed that all of a sudden, she sounded exactly like her father did, when he was alive. She had a troubled and frustrated look on her face, almost to the point of crying. "Dante, please, we're your friends, I don't want to fight you, I don't want to kill you!!!"
Anne looked over to find Pere dueling with one of the shadow controllers and desperately hoped that Dante would go back to his senses and fight on the right side again. To Anne, Bishop and Kai seemed like a way more serious problem at the moment and she would rather be fighting them than her friend.

Elka crashed into the floor, the wind knocked out of her. Her nose hurt like nobody's buisness from where Dante had kicked it. She gasped for air on the floor, yanking out her dagger again. Her aim had much to be desired, she decided. Now she was running out of ideas, and she really did not want to be killed by a murderous madman.
Seeing Fearn attacking Dante, she grinned. "Mind if I join?" she said evilly, not waiting for a response. She jumped at Dante, this time only with her dagger, stabbing at him wherever she could. Rolf joined in, having only just come around the spikes. They were rather hard for a dog to leap over.
"Nobody kicks me!" she said, feeling a little stupid. She'd have to ignore the stupidity for now though. She was having too much fun attacking Dante with Fearn and the dog.
