A black figure sat holding onto his scythe. He could feel him coming. "The Prince returns to his dead kingdom," he said to the various Garo spirits surrounding him. Garnose let out a deep chuckle and gestured for them to spread out and wait. At the bottom of the towers, doors opened once again. Shadows poured over the canyon as hundreds of Garo assassins poured from the tower and spread out, watching the route between Ikana and Termina. Waiting for the Prince to return.
Seric made his way across Termina to the the entrance of the pass. He took a step onto the dead ground and immediately felt the effects of the darkness. It gave his magic power. His sword began to glow deep amber as thousands of Garos came down around him. He looked at them all. The fox, Muri, had followed him and now took a defensive stance next to him. There was a pause. "You will cease to bar my way, or I will cut every one of you down, and you shall feel the fury of the Ikana Family that has been burning for years."
There was a pause that seemed to last forever. Then one launched forward swords drawn and attempted to slash him. He knocked both blades out of its hands and countered, killing it. It disappeared in a puff of smoke. "No? Your choice!" He formed the shadows into the arms of the ancient phoenix knight of Ikana Armour. He and the fox lunged onward, cutting, tackling, and biting their way through the horde, leaving a trail of ashes from fallen Garo in their wake.
They came to the river, on the other side, up the cliffs He could see the edge of his old home. The Garos were closing in. He grabbed the fox in one arm, and used his hook shot to move from tree to tree, climbing to the top of the cliffs. He was greeted by the Garo Master. Muri jumped from his arms to the ground and went into a defensive stance. "Honestly, I'm not surprised that you made it here. Master Garnos will be pleased to finally meet you, Crastonic (O.O.C. This translates into Child of Curse, or Cursed Child) Prince Serinopeth. Sadly, however, I cannot allow you to pass on to him. I shall kill you HERE!"
He lunged at Seric, and Seric blocked and attempted to counter. The Garo disappeared before contact could be made, and reappeared behind him, slashing. Seric dodged, jumping back, emerging with only a scratch on his face. The fox bit onto and grabbed the Garo’s leg, holding him. Seric ran forward, slashing the Garo, immobilizing him then stabbed him. The Garo recovered, kicking the fox off of him. He stood for a second then switched to using a katana. He ran towards Seric, and Seric mirrored him.
They passed each other. The Garo’s blade glanced off the chest piece of the Phoenix armor but Seric's blade hit its mark. The Garo master stopped and fell. Before death he pulled out a bomb, which detonated, reducing him to ash. Seric fell from exhaustion. He removed a red potion from his belt and drank it. He got up and gave some to the fox, and they both walked up to the doors of the tower. He stopped, feeling waves of darkness flowing through him...
He entered.
"So he made it into the tower. Well, looks like it’s time to put an end to the Ikana family once and for all." Garnos began to laugh, and pulled in the energy of the Garo spirits that had passed in the fight with Seric...
Seric and Muri stepped into the tower...

The tower's Interior was huge and hollow. He hadn't expected this. He paused and looked at Muri. "If you want to stay here and recover from the Garo Master, you can. Things are just going to be more dangerous" he said.
"Mr. Seric, I believe I will be alright, but when you pick me up this time, please be more careful." she said softly. He nodded in reply, picked her up, and began to ascend the tower.
They reached the top and stood for a moment before entering the Inner Sanctum. Thousands of eyes were on them, but none attacked as the pair made their way to the large room that Garnos used as his base. They found the door open and the room empty, circular and large. The high ceiling featured a large hole, through which moonlight filtered.
Garnos stood facing the Moon. He turned, wielding his scythe. A large red spot could be seen in his chest. " I expect you are here because you know what and who I am." He jumped into the room, with a large red smile and glowing white eyes. "Now, come to me so that I may Wipe your disgraceful family off the face of Termina,” he said, almost beckoning Seric, who once again drew his sword, its light glowing deep red in the low light.
Before he could attack, Muri ran around behind the target, almost unnoticed. Seric ran forward, shadows gathered in one hand, and his blade in the other, readying himself to attack in a downward slash. At the same time, the fox came from behind, jumping at the exposed section of the red orb on the foes back.
It happened in so quickly, Seric barely had time to react. Garnos deflected his sword and punched him in the chest to knock him back, while simultaneously turning with the scythe in full swing at Muri. It hit her, going through her side and chest. Seric was by the wall, and tried to go forward towards the foe. However, he was knocked back into the wall when Garnos launched the now dying fox at him.
He caught her as he hit the ground. He could see her losing life. His armored gloves had disappeared so he could better grasp her. He felt blood, warm and sticky, on his hands. "S-seric, It... hurts..." she said quietly, looking at him. She closed her eyes. He felt sadness. He felt as if he lost someone he loved, although he barely knew this fox. Her head fell back as she lost what little life she had left. He rose.
Garnos let out a deep and loud laugh. then abruptly stopped when he lunged at Seric. He was stopped by a wall of shadow, which he cut through, only to find that Seric was gone; only the body of the fox was left. He felt an attack coming from behind and blocked it, turning to see a mass of dark red and yellow armor crafted from pure darkness holding the same blade that Seric had. The helmet disappeared to reveal the face of Serinopeth, stained with tears of anger and sadness.
Garnos began to laugh again, and Seric attacked fiercely, aiming at the weak point each time, but only two or three made contact. Garnos quit laughing and grabbed Seric's blade in mid swing. He tossed the scythe aside and grabbed the chest piece of the Armor. “Armor fused from the energy of pure darkness. It is useless here. I grow tired of this game." And with that he diffused the chestpiece back into the shadows. Before seric could react, he stabbed him in the chest with a dagger, which disappeared as he stumbled backwards.
"Come back In a few thousand years, when you can actually fight." Garnos faced the ceiling and chanted something, causing a portal to open. He picked the fallen prince up and threw him into it. He fell into the square of Clock Town, in front of the Clock Tower, severely injured, but not dead.
