Ryu is standing in a field of shadow and light. Bahamut and Avian stand before him. Ryu rolls his eyes and sighs as he walks up to both. A golden/silver/blue glow begins to arise from him, and he looks to the Gem Shard of Light given by Trias so long ago.
Bahamut: I believe it's time.
Avian: Your friends are in danger.
Ryu: Excalibur is
nothing! Why use it?!
Bahamut: It is necessary.
Avian: You will see.
Ryu: You live in the multi-plane! Dragon of Light and Dragon of Shadow, Bahamut and Avian, you have...
Bahamut: You're wrong.
Avian: We gave you our power.
Bahamut/Avian: For a reason!

Excalibur is laughing about what he has just accomplished, on the verge of defeat he's about to be victorious. But, as he begins to decide who to start on, he is surprised by a sudden and intense light. He sees a flash and barely is able to block an attack from Ryu. What surprises him most is that there are three fan-shaped blades in front of him, and he holds an oddly shaped sword.
Ryu: Anger clouded me before!
Excalibur: What's this?! No sword should be able to push Excalibur back!
Ryu: Light! Shadow!
The three blades in front of Ryu shoot like lightning onto the blade Ryu is holding, forming a sword with four lightning bolts on it's hilt, but the blade disappears as Ryu jumps back.
Excalibur: I've broken it!
Ryu: *looking at it* You want me to use that?! *looking up* What are you thinking?
As Excalibur looks puzzled at Ryu, he finally takes time to realize that Ryu has a new armor on, a helm for the first time, and a shield. Those three items disappear as lightning bolts shoot from them to Ryu's sword. Now his sword has six "wings" and a blade.
Ryu: This blade! I haven't used this in a while!
Excalibur: What?! What is that sword?!
Ryu: It is a sword composed of the seven Shadowhawk Wings!
Zypher: *to self* Shadowhawk Wings? I've heard legend...
Ryu charges at Excalibur faster than before, and he is thrown off. Ryu slices down hard, but Excalibur manages another block. He, however, is pushed back by the strike and left offguard.[/color]
