Since Syrants arrival to Anhelo Manor, two weeks have passed. Nicholi rises from his chair to walk out onto the balcony. Once the door opens he is greeted by the sounds of roughly one hundred men and women standing at the front door to the manor. Syrant meets Nicholi on the balcony.
"Seems that my ad attracted a lot of attention. *He looks to a trio of people. One is clad in totaly pink, one in samurai garb, and the final in a black outfit. "It would seem I even attracted the circus. *snicker*.* What a pitty that so many of them will just go to waste. Oh well. I suppose I should do the opening cerimonies but I think I'll let them wait for awhile. In the meantime entertain our guests while I make the final preparations to the manor."
Nicholi heads off back into the manor leaving Syrant to deal with the mass amout of people at Nicholi's doorstep.

*Thanatos stands in the center of the crowd with his two new-found comrades, his face expressionless as he surveys the odd crowd about the Manor. His arm is constantly pulled on as Electra excitedly points out features of the massive building, but the visored man is content to silently examine at his own leisure. His head turns to the main doors as there is a definite flutter of activity*

*After seeing the man who probably made the ad leave* "well if thats all" sits down and meditates repenting for all he killed hopes they live better lives in their next life**with his eyes still closed he tells the person wearing the pink outfit “there is you bike please don’t chain it to my horse again.” *then falls silent in a state of harmony.*

*Syrant looks out into the crowd and raises his hand to signal everyone to quiet down. Once everyone got quiet he begins to speak out loudly* Greetings and welcome all. Of course you know that you are here to join in a dangerous, but well rewarding quest. The problem here is that we can only take so many. In order to be one of those people you must survive our three challenges and the first one will begin right here. When I fire my gun you will all have to fight your way in. The last twenty left standing will gain entry inside the manor. *Syrant turns and walks to the door of the manor. The crowd, looking confused, begin to get louder and louder. Syrant turns and fire in the Air* BEGIN!! *As the fighting begins Syrant opens the door and walks inside.*

*Thanatos sighes and frowns slightly as Syrant delivers his short speech, some members of the crowd quickly backing out, others raising in their make-shift weapons with nasty glints in their eyes. Thanatos half-mumbles to himself, gloved hand moving to touch a long dagger hidden in his overcoat* "Commendable logic...but I have not yet been hired, thus it is wasteful to join in the proceedings as more than an observer." *His fingers close around the hilt of the fairly long weapon, the blunt hilt instantly growing to encompass the entire blade of the weapon--turning it into nothing more than a particularly long nightstick* "Strictly business..."
*As the sound of Syrant's bullet reaches his ears, Thanatos spins the blunt weapon into his hand, easily twirling into the slowly reacting crowd, his long club unerringly striking the necks of countless guns-for-hire, striking them unconcious before they even reach the ground. And so Thanatos cuts a wide circle in the crowd with his incredible expertise in weaponry, before they even have a chance to raise their guns to fire on each other...*

“I just finished a fight now I am in another one I am starting to think I will never save my home.”*while saying this three people fall over large indents in their head form a hilt.* I will not kill any of the gold diggers” * then three people flew towards me as I blocked a dagger sliced my hand leaving a trail of blood across it. * “you will pay!” the man falls with a huge gash on his stomach* ok maybe a few” *draws sword* *man draws a crud machine gun* oh @$#@”the man fires just as I rolled out of the way Thanatos than hits the man on the head at the same time kicking another from behind.* “thank you but I had him” then crowd ingulfed Thanatos once again.*well I am going to the door now” * slicing though the endless crowd as one of the men fall over with a huge bump on his head the beautiful crafted wood door then three more people run towards the door they both fall over as a foot hits the side of their heads*I walk in seeing three badly injured men already there.

*After saving Argis, Thanatos re-entered the pulsing crowd, most of them unable to access their firearms due to the mad melee all about them. Despite being in the midst of it, he seemed somehow removed from the crowd, somehow removed from time, moving to a different speed than all of the others. Every time he moved the whirring stick, another combatant fell to the ground--yet most of the fighters seemed unable to notice a blur of a black overcoat in the midst of their own personal, often deadly duels*
*...the crowd began to thin as more and more of the unfortunate warriors fell to the ground in varying states of existence. Eventually, Thanatos had moved his way through the main group, to where only a few grim-set individuals fought each other, completely ignoring the assassin. Thanatos sighed, seeing that over half the fighters were down within the first ten seconds--many due to his own efforts* "No skill." *Thanatos spent a relaxful second or two examining the fighters, a frown still on his face. His expression did not change in the slightest as another man walked unnoticed up to him, and pressed a colt pistol to the side of his head, speaking in a rasping, barely human tone* "Thanatos..."

Nicholi begins his asscent back to the balcony to see how the fight is going when he runs into Syrant along the way.
"How goes part one of our test."
Syrant tells Nicholi that everything has gone okay so far but it would appear that the *circus folk* are dominating the compation.
"Very well then. I suppose I'll go view the remaining carnage. I'll meet you in the control room after the end of the first test."
Syrant nods and walks off. Nicholi goes out onto the balcony again and sees that a large amount of people are laying ,presumable dead, on the ground.
"I may just get more ammusment out this than I first thought."

*Electra stands back worriedly watching people kill each other.Her eyes widen in fear as Argis is almost killed right before her very eyes. She waits about watching for a few minutes protecting herself against attackers as well as she can.*
"Thanatos, don't you think that it is wrong to just kill all these innocent people?? Besides aren't you supposed to kill Argis? Not protect him? Killing is not right"
*Attackers surround her very rapidly and she starts to panic.*
" HOLY CRAP!!! This is like, SERIOUS!!! These people want to kill me!!What did I ever do to them?"
*She Cries.*

*Thanatos does not notice as Electra calls to him in the midst of the combat, and he is in no position to save her. Instead, he continues to stare stonily forward, listening detatchedly to what the man says in his more metallic than human voice* "Thanatos...made a name for yourself. But not everyone's happy--the Remainder's hunting you...you should never have ventured Outside. This is the end, Thanatos...now I've got you, now...you are shut down." *At this, Thanatos smiles for the first time in a long while, turning his head slightly to see the man that holds him. The man's face is a sickly pale, but the most drawing feature of him are his eyes. His eyes are not human--but instead two metal orbs set in a human skull...Thanatos speaks softly, chuckling as he does so* "You are very unfortunately mistaken. Your choice of weaponry, your physical appearance, and of course the fact that you have delayed me in speech instead of killing me immediately all accent very clearly one fact which you cannot deny...
I was the best of all of you."
*With that Thanatos spins just as the gun fires, the bullet thudding into the wall an inch away from him as one hand easily hits the weapon out of his assailant's hand, Thanatos' free hand flipping out a long dagger which he stabs upwards into the other man's neck before the man can even react*
*...Thanatos idly strolls back into the carnage after retrieving his dagger, on his way to save Electra, whom he has found far too interesting to let die. Behind him leaves a bloodless corpse, a look of surprise frozen on its barely-human features...*

* Electra stares in horror at what just happened. Her eyes continue to widen in fear as people continue walking and closing in on her.*
" No thanks Thanatos. I can take care of myself. "
*She pulls another bead off her necklace and grabs her remote and enters in another interesting combination on the button pad. The love bead then releases a pink laughing gas. She walks up to Thanatos and reaches into his overcoat to take his pistol.*
"It isn't nice to Kill."

*As the gas is released, other fighting has stopped entirely--other combatants all dead, knocked out, or laughing their heads off. Thanatos is very oddly unaffected by the laughing gas, and so stops, grabbing her arm as she tries to steal his weapon, speaking softly into her ear, his face once again expressionless* "There is a history here you do not understand...think before you act." *At that moment, Nicoli walks back out on to the balcony to make an announcement...*

Nicholi walks back into the manor and Syrant then opens the doors to the manor.

*After the announcement of the man in charge of the entire event, Thanatos purposefully moves away from Electra, leisurely walking in the direction of the open doors to the Manor. As he walks, he surveys the scene of destruction about him. Combatants lie everywhere, some dead, some injured, and many simply unconcious. He notes with satisfaction that both Argis and Electra have survived the trial, for he has begun to take a distinct liking to both of them. He speaks half to himself as he nears the entrance to the Manor...* "This is by far one of the most inefficient wastings of human potential I have ever had the distinct displeasure of being a part of--the creator of which seems just blundering enough to make it work." *He stops in the small crowd gathered in front of Syrant, as the gunman surveys them*

“Who put booby traps in a manor”*asking only to himself*”well I guess I have to do this but I am wondering if I have joined the wrong side*looks at the men he had caused so much pain and others not moving* “why am I join a man who thinks people are just greedy people!” ”Is the world that bad that money worth peoples life. I don’t think this can be true why must there only be death why must the weak die!” “Why!” “How many people here died with families starving?” “I will never forgive these men!” “When will humanity learn that death brings only more death?” “this is not the world I want to save“ *a flash of death of his village stop his fighting* “if humans can do that to a peaceful village then I wish not to save this final chapter” if this man show me humans that human lives are worth money then I will not take money for peoples death. “there is no good people but evil people who fight on different sides for you can’t have war with out peace.” why!” I am going to do this mission this man wants us to do but if it makes me kill innocent people then I will leave it and if some one else kills innocents than they will die by my sword…”*reaches the door*”this will no longer be for the people of the world but for the few good people in the world I promise that!”
