Life of a Reaper Ch5: Learning the ropes
4 months ago
Eulalie (6 months) " I told you wildfire wasn't that bad " Darkfire" I know you aren't that bothered by his help but he said he would send some help when it comes to supplies and he hasn't really shown much subtly " Eulalie" well we're getting down to the wire, I think all the help is warranted" Darkfire" wildfire has been alittle quiet, too quiet about the kids, and maybe he was alright by letting us have some space to handle things are our own but lets jsut say I've felt little worried about it , you know him being so quiet about it "
Kitsuna" you should not have to worry wildfire has done nothing but show great support when it comes to baby supplies and clothing, we have plenty organization and help wildfire wouldn't over do it " Darkfire" and your really so sure?"
( Knock knock knock!)
Kitsuna" ! finally that must be my metal armor kit ^^ as she opened the door (BLAM!!) suddenly an avalanche of boxes buried her at the door all of babies supplies following diapers, clothing, baby food and restock of diapers Darkfire" tell him straight up sky says, he'll lay off if your just honest he said = =" Eulalie" okay so he was a little eager to help it wasn't so bad " Darkfire" a little? we have enough diapers to give to a day care, baby food for a preschool DX " Eulalie" well, wildfire always has us on a budget , but , since hes so willing to pay thats more money for us~ crossing her arms " Darkfire" eulalie = =" Eulalie" fine, fine I'll give him a cal l myself and say, lets dial it back, he only want s to make sure we have anything we need for the girl ^^ " Darkfire" well yeah" Eulalie" and um...eheh >///> .. can you tell wildfire to give us a bit a space " Darkfire" why so?" Eulalie" well... sigh* well one thing, I got a doctor's appointment tomorrow and its just routine visit, and well my doctor said there is a very small chance she.. might come early" Darkfire" !?! Eulalie" l-like I said its small , I don't want you or wild worrying, okay? " Darkfire" hearing that idea it may be out of my hands " Eulalie" or maybe your just always worried wild will over rule you, your the father your the man of the house so be the big boy and stand your ground. okay?" Darkfire" -w-.. yeah okay " Eulalie" good brushing hie hair you've been on a roll all this time, don't stop now~ kissing him passionately as she smiled
Darkfire " still a month early thata pretty big" Eulalie" the doctor said its a small chance " walking upt the boxes kitsuna was buried under trying to help remove some of them* push come to shove Ishe needs some more time in the oven or shes just ready to meet her new dad x3 " Darkfire" well which ever comes first xD" upon saying that eulalie started to clenching herself as if her body was cramping Eulalie" eheh...ahh...ahhhh.. ><; " Darkfire" eulalie!?" Eulalie" panting softly... I- I'm fine...I'm alright , whenever I would eat light, I would.. get these cramps.. but I wanted us to enjoy lunch with alicia and I didn't want to over eat , but I keep thinking it would have been too much" Darkfire" ... are you sure we shouldn't go to the doctor today? " Eulalie" we're already set for tomorrow and I promise its okay as wildfire takes her hand Darkfire"...well maybe being at the hospital won't be a bad idea " Eulalie" I told you I'm gonna go nuts if I have to wait in bed all day for the baby to arrive in case she comes I can get kathy to teleport me, simple~ " Darkfire" its amazing re depend so much on kathy " Eulalie" yes, but shes the best thing ever to rely on, "
* digging out of the boxes "
Kitsuna" and I am sure wildfire would not mind having his men over seeing your protection for the baby, so leaving kathy in your hands may also keep him back" Darkfire" -w- will see, but its like you said its almost time and I'll try to relax, as long your okay " Eulalie" promise, and on the bright side~ out of all this, I finally can measure up to kathy's league pushing her chest up X'D " Wildfire" not sure if that's something to be proud of it? >////> Eulalie" if I'm gonna be in the mother's club shouldn't I look like I am? instead of a early teens pregnancy " Darkfire" I think you still are a mother that shouldn't be a factor " Eulalie" I'm just saying, now lets get something to eat before marigold starts getting fussy again" "
Kitsuna" if I may request some help with these.. boxes... he ears lowered still seeing all the boxes wildfire ordered ...grrr..* throwing the box at the pile only for it to topple again burying her* ><!!
wildfire's manor
(Ping!) Alicia" looks like the latest shipment made it ot there house this morning " Wildfire" good to know" Alicia" its really sweet you acting so protective over the new baby even though shes not here yet " Wildfire" well nothing wrong wiht giving alittle help " Alicia" but even the fact you jsut sent enough supplies fora daycare center in the middle of a snowstorm maybe you could dial it back a bit " Wildfire" tsk, you act like I'm going overboard, " Alicia" well, honestly it depends but there is nothing wrong with taking baby steps and you know darkfire has been trying to take more strides in being independent, I mean you haven't exactly needed to babysit eulalie overh er money transactions have you "
Wildfire" no but she hasn't been in the position to do anything might I add. and besides maybe I'm jsut trying ot send the message if dark needs me or if the girl is ever in trouble she know who to call" Alicia" oh I'm sure she will, when the moment some kid kicks sand in her face on the playground that kid will disappear the next day " Wildfire" I'm not that bad " Alicia" but would you?" Wildfire"......... no" Alicia" you hesitated you would your gonna be that type of God father xD she laughed Wildfire" groans look I'm not going to be kathy 2.0 okay? nor will I have the time, so I'm leaving some men in charge to play watch owl over them while I'm not here " Alicia" again I ask "what could happen" Wildfire" a city like this, you never know, and given darkfire is a kind of a big shot whither he wants to admit it or not is irrelevant. " Alicia" but hes not a crime boss like you" Wildfire" you have any kind of money or notoriety it makes you a target, and last I checked" he won a tournament with a grand total of 30 mill " Alicia" 10 of which went to various orphanages across mobius, and another 5 went to kathy's bakery investment, and another five into eulalie's family business " Wildfire" which kathy gave back at the 5 cause she didn't need it shes already rich " Alicia" but does he know she did, I know he doesn't really look at the numbers" Wildfire" of course not, that's why I'm here , but we can talk numbers all day, right now I have a lesson plan with a bag of bones" Alicia" careful she might hear you " Wildfire" I was born careful " tossing open a warp ring quickly leaving
sol kingdom
with in the training ground both crystal and aqua were exchanging blows in the air whiel the rest of the guards simply watched, hearing there energy clashing the air repeatedly until aqua finally pulled back returning to her normal form
Aqua" panting .ho=...how was that " Crystal" miles better, your power is evenly balanced through your form instead of all into your blade " Aqua" a shame it doesn't make it stronger " Crystal" yes but it leaves your soul weaker by contrast and that is not good, but I suppose its god to have options " suddenly the warp ring opened up as wildfire made his appearance Wildfire" looks like the party was already starting without me " Crystal" no, I'd say your right on the money " Aqua" no pun in tended " Wildfire" > >.... < < so where's candlelight and snowball " Crystal" nova is busy with other tasks with niyako = = , and snowball is having a bath " Wildfire" you think training was already top priority with nova" Aqua" its not like there goofing off, we're gonan probably hear alot of noise soon from the new fighter mech niyako has been doing back flips to test thing out and nova has been jsut as eager to drive it " Wildfire" your really gonna let a teenage drive a war machine ? as both of them look at one another Crystal&Aqua" No, sky, is letting a teenager drive a war machine " Wildfire" why am I not surprised" ( BOOM!!) suddenly the entire castle rattled briefly as everyone looked out into the sky and saw was looked like a giant mech wit ha Winged gundam like appearance its main wings a dark pink hue while the other was chrome white its visor was a bright yellow while at the center having a energy red core like glow , as the mech did a tornado spin in the air and flew off leaving a streak of clouds behind it
Aqua" well I bet she having fun while the adults work " Aqua" heh don't be jealous " Crystal" but whos to say you won't have fun either , after all during our sparring patches you get don't do practice healing aqua ^w^ " Aqua"..?...!? wait wha!? is that what we're doing?? " Crystal" no dear thats what "hes" doing and now I can stop pulling punches " changign ot her reaper form* Aqua" ;w; Wait wait wait WAIT WAIT WAIT!! as crystal leaving no room to thought charged for her Wildfire" ( I'm really starting to like her more and more ) "
a few minutes before
nova was in the changing room suiting up in a jump suit before she departed along the center frame were highlighted energy lines that traced from her heart down her heels and ot he the palms of her hands , still with it feeling as fitted as it was it wasn't short of comfort but some things still bothered her*
Nova" * as much as I think the suit is cool I can't say I like the fact it makes me look like I have two coconuts for a butt" Worker" nvoa everything is ready for your departure" Nova" I'm coming! "
walking into the hanger seeing the mech waiting as it stood in place she walked wiht the worker to her launch pit, still somewhat nervous after stopping so far inside a gate way door nova walked inside on to a platform inside the mech as the systems were turning on the lights around her started to boot up, and the platform had a holo ring around her that reflected off of the suit
Nanobyte" vitals reading normal , sensory attachments activated" Nova" nanobyte is that you??" Nanobyte" yes, I suggested uploading my conscious to your mech to act as your AI, I thought it would give you a sense a familiarity" Nova" well it does ease the tension a bit " Niyako" *bing* suddenly though a holo video screen alright nova you ready?" Nova" ready as I'll ever be " Niyako" the platform your standing on is going to serve as a guide for the robot, in other words anything you do it will mimic you , well once the systems are switched on" Nova" maybe thats why you let nanobyte in as my assistant, because he would know be best" Niyako" well yeah in away xD so let finally see our dream fulfilled~ good luck princess (Ping!)
in that moment a digital field started to form and visually it formed a bubble allowing nova to see everything though the eyes of the mech , as the systems were running its check and balances the mech was pushed to the gate way leading outside Nova" maybe a seated cockpit would have been better > >;;" Nanobyte" niyako" assumed the same but he remembered your heavy foot from last time " Nova" it was one time DX " Nanobyte" twice actually" Nova" grrr... "
( All systems go Sol Spirit prepared to depart, in five, four, three, two, one....) as the mech leaped out of the base dropping from a rock wall of the island under neath the castle nanobyte took the lead as the mech hovered in the air above the ocean holding steady *
Nanobyte" how are you feeling nova?" Nova" looking around ... well ... I feel like a giant for one thing turning her head she looked down seeing the island itself and the village below Niyako" taking the sights love?" Nova" I'm doing okay so whats next " Niyako" lets try your fire for a start, your suit it absorb your flames as raw energy and transfer it to the boosts and weapon system as long as you don't go crazy and over heat the system , give it a try~ " doing as he said she raised her hand as her fire left her hand the energy was transform to her mech and outside the mech unleashed a burst of fire Nova" whooaa... this is amazing what about... doing the same with her feet as fire elevater her higher into the air
the higher she felt herself flying with ease, she did a small ballerina spin in the air before unleashing her fire blasting herself off like a rocket ( BOOM!) flying through the skys across the ocean , she soared like a seagull leaving streaks of waves in thewater until she pulled up higher and higher then any dragon would go on there own
Nova" -w- ( I dare anyone to attack us with this in our deck of cards ) ...( want to steal the sol emeralds? HA yeah thats a funny joke! ) hm? as nova was looked at the islands suddenly she noticed something that looked like a energy line tracing from one island to the next
Nova" hey,..niyako are you seeing this?... ( Kasshhhhhh) ... we're out of range?" Nanobyte" what do you see nova?" Nova" you don't see what I'm seeing, it looks like a energy line going from on island to the next, like its tracing " Nanobyte" I'm not picking up any energy reading to your description " Nova" I want to see if I can get a higher view" Nanobyte" nova we aren't built for high altitudes jsut yet" Nova" just enough for a clearer image"
as nova made the sol spirit fly higher to the point she was above the clouds reaching sky babylons level of height Nova" what the.... " looking down it looks like imprint of an design of a eye sitting around all the islands wiht the sol kingdom sitting at the center of it" ... quickly nova tried to take a video snap shot of it*
Nanobyte" Nova we are too high, we have to descend immediately! " following nanobytes words they quickly dropped back down to ocean level, eventually radio signal came back
Nova" niyako?" Niyako" CAN YOU FUCKING WARN ME BEFORE YOU TRY TO GO INTO SPACE!!" Nova" sorry sorry, I got alittle over excited and I.." Niyako " groans yes I know its a dream event for you but please just be mindful this isn't a videogame!" Nova" > >;....* shaking her head* besides that you have to see something, can you see the video footage from the camera?" as niyako and the others checked out the data
Niyako" 50,000 ft? I didn't thin it was be possible on this model but I'm better then I thought he laughed Nova" but... the" Niyako" I am seeing the power is strained a bit but at least we know what needsto be reinforced, over all this is a good first test nova " Nova" r-right... "
as she made way back to the hanger nanobyte was transferred back to his canine body, while nova took the time the change and ran into blaze in the grand hall*
Nova" mom! " Blaze" welcome back nova how was your first flight in the sol spirit" Nova" it was amazing to say the bare minimum but before I get into that, there was something I saw" Blaze" something you saw?" Nova" after flying so high I saw something looked like a energy line across the ocean and it was like it was tracing across the sea, we had to fly up to sky bablylon's height just for be to get a clear picture, I tried to pull it up on video but it just looked likea normal snap shot to everyone else , and I'm not crazy!" Blaze" okay calm down, firstly what exactly did it look like to you" Nova" calming herself ...it looked like the out light of an eye and our island was sitting in the center of it " Blaze" ....* mumbles* the phoenix's gaze " Nova" the what?" Blaze" come with me" as blaze took nova to the library, inside one of the history book she placed it on the desk . Blaze" is this what you saw? as she pointed to a picture of a bird's eye Nova" pretty close yes " Blaze" that was the Phoenix's Gaze, its an imprint on our world expressing the Goddess watching over the sol zone and everyone in it , some imagine her whole body lays imprinted over the whole planet, but only those who are first born have the ability to see it with the naked eye " Nova" so the guardians... have you see it ?" Blaze" sadly no, nor has my mother, my grandmother said shes seen it in her dreams but you being able to see it first hand its truly a blessing for us all " Nova" >///> but why suddenly I see it " Blaze" who knows, but it would be wonderful to have such a sight" Nova" well we could always fly up and see it" Blaze" oh, no no no no I have trouble embracing roller coaster heights and sky babylon was my limit clenching her chest but some things are meant for your eyes only, cherish it and know the Goddess is watching over you she smiled softly Nova" hmm.. okay blaze hugged her tightly <3 Blaze" my burning star~ I stil l remember you when you were baby, and look at you now~
Nova" well we all grow up eventually" Blaze" true but you will always be my baby <3 nuzzles her cheek ( No va... No va nova! ) Blaze&Nova" o o!? " Blaze" did he get out of basket again DX " Nova" oh no he's learning as nova picks him up maybe the goddess wil lbe kind and give you fire as well or even your scythe abilities, at least the former then you can start learning from your sister~ " Snowfall" owo ahah XD " Nova" I better help niyako with the report , otherwise he won't be happy how I ran off cause what I saw" Blaze" its fine, your father is busy with wildfire and the others teaching him the ways of your clan " Nova" yeah " I just hope they won't start fighting like two hamsters in a cage match " Blaze" no promises I bet ~ she chuckled
back in the training field
( Ahh Haaghh!... !!) aqua went tumbling like a ball as she hit the ground dragging leaving a brushing of dirt behind her
Aqua"......... " Guard1" I know this is suppose to be training but isn't this little much," Guard2" its only much cause its women fighting , no one wants to see a girl get tossed around like a rag doll" Guard1" never mind that.. it s her own mother thats doing it.. " while they chattered aqua picked herself up Aqua" CAN THE PEANUT GALLERY KEEP IT DOWN! " as the guards jumped from the spike in her voice, when wildfire casually walked over to her Wildfire" need your medic dear? " Aqua" don't you pity me..." Wildfire" hey this is your mothers orders not mine* putting his hands up* Aqua" getting her feet you could see scratches on her arms and head as she panted softly I said I'm fine.. T T" Wildfire" stubborn as a bull you are truly his sister" Crystal" yes and the fastest way to humble the soul , is hitting dirt beneath there feet" in a quick second she quickly impaled her with her energy scythe as it went through her leaving no physical damage but you can tell it nearly killed her by her expressions " Wildfire" O O;;; " Crystal" alright wildfire your turn" Wildfire" seeing aqua fall flat on her fact to the ground* ...o-oh okay..sure! " Aqua" ><.....lll"
as wildfire got on his knees he rolled aqua on her back in a second he summoned his sickles to his hands as he was looking where to even start
Crystal" you won't find any bleeding spot use your soul and sense where the wound ends and begins " Wildfire" ,,( no fucking pressure... women) ... closing his eyes suddenly it was ask crystal said he saw what looked like a burning sensation on her upper torso, slowly he took his blade and hovered over it, his energy was starting to fire a beam towards it and slowly it was sealing up, but in the mean time feeling the sensation aqua panted passively as if the pain was throbbing for her
Crystal" your doing it , it won't be long aqua" Aqua" uahhh.. >< panting..." in the mean time sky had just arrived outside hearing and seeing his sister in pain Sky" how many times are you gonna kill my sister! T T " Wildfire" ASK YOUR MOM! I'm just doing what she says! don't blame me! " Crystal" she'll be alright sky, wildfire, is actually doing pretty well on the first go even " Sky" having actual injuries was this necessary?" Crystal" well his healing will only work on souls that have taken some level of damage so its either I spar with aqua and rough her up a bit or we take wildlife and use them for our practice, and I'm very sure a certain echidna would not be fond of that " Aqua" sure! let me die twenty times, just grab a stupid weasel or something "
suddenly kathy appears
Kathy" your all gonna have me beating you with a stick in a second! " Wildfire" trying to concentrate here! " soon enough the damage energy within her soul was restored Aqua" sitting up ... " Sky" how do you feel?" Aqua" the pain is gone.. but I'm still pretty weak.. " Crystal" next is the secondary skill you have , which i soul sharing , you can share your energy with others to restore them " Wildfire" cool what do I have to do? stab them? " Crystal" >w>......hmmm sorta of " Wildfire" your kidding me" Crystal" its not physical, you've done it before with your sickles, only let the manifestation pierce there body not the blade itself" Kathy".....ORrrrrr how about I jsut do it and save fucking everyone~ ^w^ " Crystal" kathy no thisis wildfire's lessons he needs to learn if hes going to be a medic " Sky " can we get him a nurse uniform he laughed to himself Wildfire" dude, don't you start with me T T " Sky" I'm just saying eheh nurse Wild~ he chuckled Crystal" but this is what makes his ability to slow down time around him so extremely important, someone can be near death but with that power he has all the time in the world to restore them" Wildfire" is it common for my class to have that ability " Crystal" abilities do tend to vary and I haven't met many so I can not tell you " Wildfire" looks like I'm a rare breed your highness so I think I deserve som respect " Sky" goody goody gum drops T T " Wildfire" doing as crystal instructed using the energy from his blade he stabbed her in the arm while no isibile mark was left aqua did flinch, but as wildfire started to share his energy with hers he even began to feel the drain from his own body, as aqua started ot look more and more restored
Aqua" -w-.... " Wildfire" h-hows that...pant* " Aqua" actually miles better jumping to her feet Wildfire" great... cause now I feel like I ran a mile..* Crystal" it does take from you so you have to be mindful of what you can use " Wildfire" or build up stamina " Kathy" clapping that's still amazing wildfire so your a healer now although is there any other way he can do this?" Crystal" unless the person in question is hurt his power won't do anything - - " Wildfire" well I got the basic idea so not really much else is needed is there? getting back to his feet Crystal" well as you noticed your worn out just from healing aqua, you have to preform this task more to build up strength. " Sky" just like how I had to practice using my reaper form separate from my body " Kathy" OwO....l3.. slowly turns to wildfire with a gleeful grin " Wildfire" kathy..no, whatever it is no! I got plans and I'm busy- suddenly kathy grabbed him by his wrist " Kathy" welcome to your day in Kathy's medical class~ " Wildfire" KATH-(Vosh!) *both of them vanished in a second* Aqua" give that girl an inch she'll take a mile... " Sky" can wild even learn that way? its really only for our people any isn't isn't it?" Crystal" well yes and no, yes Rifvola's can repair and restored damaged scythes and users but we can also heal others in smaller ways, but you have to build up your own strength to do so, otherwise you'll be no help, worse case you can kill yourself trying to heal someone else , so healing a few animals from kathy will get wild into the mindset and rhythm to help us on bigger cases if need be " Sky" he's going to be spending alot of time with her I can imagine " Aqua" it would be better if we knew other healers he could learn from " Sky" well maybe I can get in contact with vincia and see if shes met anyone who "is" a rifvola like wild " Crystal" that sounds good after all reconnecting is also part of the plan ^^ " Sky" nods and one more thing if your going to train please don't half kill us DX , I don't like sensing aqua in pain like shes about to passout" Crystal" I admit I got little carried away but surely I wouldn't done too bad of a job o n you " Aqua" yeah mom I felt you holding back so much on me T T" Crystal" " Sky" I think that's enough for today" Aqua" so~ after kissing the dirt for the last hour I believe I can get myself a certain upgrade? >w> " Crystal" yes aqua = = " Aqua" yes!! " Sky" what up grade? Crystal" I said I would get her a new cyberlink phone if she let me rough her up a bit for wildfire's sake , Aqua" and now I get a early years end present XD " Sky" rolling his eyes have fun phone shopping, it looks like nova just got back from her test run of the sol spirit~ as he noticed the mech flying back to the hanger on the other side of the island
Castle dinning hall
everyone gathered around for dinner , nova and niyako were first at the table while following later was dash and blaze and crystal while since sky was helping in the kitchen he was the latest
Dash" so aqua , I see you got yourself the latest phone model" Aqua" being mom's punching bag paid off literally <3 " Crystal" dear, don't make me sound so terribly please " Dash" ahaha at least you can put up a fight, remember the days back in the village where you tried to help me?" Crystal" I remember -w-; Blaze" was dash not really a fighter?" Crystal" not at all, if anything he was more of the studious one out of both of us, he didn't want to be a complete wimp so he asked for my help; his words not mine." Dash" I was alittle hard on myself because I couldn't fight , even though I was not alone in the clan like this, for some reason I took it so personal. crystal was one of the few who sort of supported me and made me feel like I made a difference " Crystal" ^^ mhm~ and you did chuckles softly although I still remember the last day I was allowed the train with you, you really looked like you were getting better but we both fooled ourselves " Dash " she gave a kick that was a little too good, I tried to block it, I did but she cracked my shoulder bone in the process " Blaze" ohhh.. " Niyako" I did the same thing during my early collage years in training camp Dash" our mentor was so angry I had to beg him not to punish her " Blaze" why was it so harsh?" Dash" for those that have the blood to fight and those that don't lets just say, we are treated more delicately, male or female it doesn't matter, if you carry the blood you are important sometimes more then the ones that possess a scythe" Nova" but it can be passed on all the same can't it? dad had one and I have one so why?" Dash" but there is the chance it skips, and losing a chance to spread our kind is something the elders didn't want to lose , its like keeping a type of flower alive when only some of the petals produce saplings " Crystal" I know, how heritage words in odd ways , sometimes I prefer your system dear, it passes down from the first born simple " Blaze" it may be simple but its "very" easy to breed favoritism if you have more then one child , even if you have twins only one bares the power of flames " Nova" so if me and snowfall came together " Blaze" it would be all up to the Goddess to pick who would be given her gift " Niyako" wow... I can already see how that would foster... rubbing his muzzle nervously Blaze" mhm... but luckily my mother and myself were single children " Nova" >w> ( heaven forbid you want twins or more ) hmmm... fidgeting with her tail
Maid" if I may add in, I am familiar with families where the first son is the most important and often the second child is less of the latter be it male or female, I have to at least say it is nice to hear whither the child is male or female they are still treated fairly " Crystal" its very easy to group everyone into groups of "haves" and "have-nots" but that is the strict code we follow that our role is to serve and keep balance, and given the fact the rest of the world hated our existence it kept us all in line to look our for each other " Niyako" that's so awful though.. its not like it was your choice" Dash" just like many things , all we can do we is follow the stars that shine in our skies even if they lead us in circles, we have to trust in the creator " Crystal" ( looking away for a moment as memories were starting to crop up again, she clinched her hand and le tout a heavy sigh calming herself but enough about that so nova how was your test flight in a giant robot XD"
Nova" I wanna wait for dad before I tell that story but its not hard to tell niyako isn't really happy with me " Niyako" you just need to warn me before you decide to go into space! the mech doesn't have oxygen tanks or ways to give you air " Blaze" what if the mech hell in the ocean?" Niyako" that is going ot be the next upgrade now that we have the flying basics down, I'm still not sure about underwater travel that might have to be saved for another model altogether but that will be for a later time "
Sky" lets talk about another mech at another time , I'm not going to go over the budget again with the sol spirit and neither will jack" as sky arrived with the other waiters helping place the dinner plates around Nova" .w. seeing a plate of sliced fruit <3 " Blaze" is jack happy with th results of the sol spirit " Sky" taking his seat its funny I asked him that, he told me "its your money you spent, shouldn't you be happy?" he always sounds so bitter with me " Dash" well you are his boss aren't you " Sky" having second opinion isn't bad plus what I "don't" talk about is the investors that keep calling " Blaze" are they still making there own beast units?" Sky" yes adn thanks to nova's little sky performance ( Nova" blushes heavily ) all I get is " hey I can help fund your project / tell me more about these machines/ that was amazing / blah blah blah... an d every single one I. say. no " Dash" why not? wouldn't be good for funding" Sky"....* sigh* this might sound selfish but its for us and us alone, the so l spirit is going to a symbol for the royal family, and the kingdom at large. and if others started building there own or started trying to mass produce them, at least the way we do... " Niyako" it would be the JuJinki conflict all over again..."
Nova "the what??" Niyako" it was small civil war between two kingdoms using mecha it was fight for the right of the resources that helped construct them, eventually they ruined a large part of the sea terrain harming wildlife, until the magister stepped in forcing the conflict to stop and outlawing the production altogether , Crystal" so barbaric " Niyako" more like a bunch of children " Sky" right so... if I slow down or stop that path I will, and if they do build something out of spite, we will have the superior model always, " Niyako " feeling validated X3" Crystal" oh its always all business and drama -w- lets try to have some lighter topics for dinner everyone and nova try to save some water melon for everyone else " Nova" > > sorry as she tacked her plate Sky" theres another half in the kitchen the maids and workers are free to take from if she wants seconds she can " Nova" l3 " Crystal" still you don't want her to be a chucky kitty " Nova" I'm not fat DX besides it fruit anyway... >3> " Sky" eheh shes mindful don't worry and I'm sure niyako wants his looking fine as always" Nova" dad! DX Niyako" well her wedding dress is elastic~ " Nova" o///w///o YOU! bites his arm as she hissed Niyako" Ow! okay okay okay I take it back! DX " Nova" Grrrrrrrrr... " Aqua" such an animal " Blaze" xD " Sky" Ahahahah " Crystal" smiles softly looking around at everyone* ( now this is a family dinner) ^w^ ...!? under the table dash grabbed her hand firmly crossing his fingers with hers Dash" those rough days are behind us , lets keep on full speed ahead my bright knight~ " Crystal" bright knight.. you haven't called me that since we were kids " Dash" doesn't mean I don't think about it~ " Crystal" kisses him on the cheek ^w^ "
Nova" anyway as for what happened during the flight, I saw this energy outlight high in the sky and it connected to the islands forming some kind of image and before I knew it it looked likea giant eye, mom called it the guardian's gaze " Blaze" the "Phoenix Gaze" nova " Nova" right! Phoenix sorry it really was an amazing sight. and only a few actually saw it , I asked mom if she wanted to chance to fly up and" Blaze" I have my height limits thank you dear but I trust you 100% " Sky" well something for the history books~ " Aqua" speaking of books , a blaze a new lack-a-daisy novel arrived at the book store" Blaze" I'm still waiting for my signed pre-order copy damn it!! ...*ahem*... I am aware and I'm looking forward to it > >; Sky" maybe will look into it , make sure its not lost in the mail " Blaze" I hope not =w= " Sky" hmm~ I wonder how nurse wildfire is doing" Aqua" your not going to let that go are you " Sky" no I am not , its something I can tease him with finally " Nova" mom is right you both do act like siblings" Sky" well he starts it T T " Crystal" I rest my case~" a shared laughter filled the room
nearing the end of the day
back at wildfire's home
living room
a warp ring opens up as wildfire walked through dragging his feet as he fell face first on the couch
Alicla" what happened to you, did crystal work you that much??" Wildfire"...no... kathy... I hate.. that women ..so much" Alicia" what did she do" Kathy" teleports hes been taking some lessons when it comes to healing and I always have alot of critters or sometimes folks that need help~ so this will be his work out session with me for a while but honestly he did really good for a first day~ so see you in a week (Vosh!) " Alicia" oh thats right, your scythe power was healing wasn't it, and on that note was it similar to kathy so she was able to help teach you? not crystal" Wildfire" need people to heal in order to practice....which kathy... has no shortage of... " Alicia" I see.. well I'll try to have the meal plans be your favorites if that will ease the pain " Wildfire" groans ... just being away from kathy is enough... turning over on his bad any word from darkfire" Alicia" well,, your latest supply drop was delivered and I think hes had enough for now " Wildfire" it can never be too much" Alicia" still , he asked me to tell yo uto relax a bit, kitsuna isn't fond of being turned into a mobian forklift " Wildfire" and only he would care about what a drone would have to say "
Alicia" but jokes aside its nice seeing you get along so well with sky's family like its given you something else to think about rather then work all the time ^w^ Wildfire" I suppose , but I'm not one to just lay around as she finally sat up Alicia" at least not without someone underneath anyway l3 " Wildfire" hmph, any news on the delivery? " Alicia" everything quiet for now and given the day you've had why not just take it easy, you know your allowed to right?" Wildfire" you don't have to tell me that" Alicia" then why am I?" Wildfire" .... maybe over doing it " Alicia" see? you already know brushing her hand against his chest as she nuzzled his cheek so just try to take it easy~ doctor wild~ l3 " Wildfire" ( I'll take that over blue boy calling me nurse )... "
back home for kathy as the day was coming to a close she was honestly worn out herself letting herself fall on the bed
Kathy" groans.... ..finally..just..be..fine... everyone" Knuckles" seeing kathy on the bed did everyone ware you down again?" Kathy" well...no I just.. it was just too many things at once, plus I bit off more then I could chew today giving wildfire a healing lesson cause I just wanted to, I've been watching darkfire and eulalie like a hawk cause the baby will be here soon ;w; and I want to be there, and THEN the stuff for sky and his family , its just been alittle bit scattered and I don't like it, but things are at least calming down" Knuckles" well that's good to hear but I thought we said we'd take it easier from now?" Kathy" we did, but this was just one of "those" times picking herself up she started to change slowly into her sleep wear Knuckles" you know you don't have to be there for every turning point in someones life right?" Kathy" I know.. but you know how important darkfire is. hes my doppo and will always be ;w; and if I have to strain just little more I'll do so for him. letting he hair down, she threw her night gown on, before sitting back on the edge of the bed and seeing his and eulalie's baby is going to be something big not just because its a new baby but, I've notice darkfire is finally growing stronger and more confident and in a lot of ways, he won't need me anymore " Knuckles" ahhh... so like a baby bird leaving the nest sort of thing" Kathy" in a way yes, plus with him being a reaper sky will also be looking out for him too so again less for me to do ^^ " Knuckles" who isn't a reaper at this point it feels like everyone is as he lied down behind her Kathy" ahaha its a shame I can't pinpoint them out xD" Knuckles" naw we don't need that, cause then you'd be helping sky way more then you should, I think the master emerald guardian is plenty for us" Kathy" don't you mean the emerald kingdom l3 " Knuckles" I thought it was gonna be the chaos kingdom" Kathy" Chaos doesn't really have positive vibe > > so I think emerald sounds better" Knuckles" or we just settle on the kathy kingdom" Kathy" I don't want to validate everyone who says I have a big head T T she pouted Knuckles" ha ha ha you have big things but a head isn't one " Kathy" hmph"
Knuckles" we've come a long way haven't we" Kathy" hm?" Knuckles" feels like only yesterday this island was just us and the animals next thing I know I'm sitting here with 5 kids and 12 house pets " Kathy" ^///^ well you know life can be like that~ as she lied down on her side facing him I know I can push my luck too much when it comes to the others and even those I still have bad blood with like breezie or mongel but I think little adversity is what makes things interesting, no?" Knuckles" I could bring up the chapter with your "sister" being the web conflict but I don't want this is go on forever" Kathy" well you wouldn't be wrong she laughed but even shes busy being an empress now and out of our hair - - " Knuckles" sighing softly... mhm... even the twins are growing too fast for me " Kathy" I know right, kathelyn is starting to follow khalon around more and more shes even started to punch the pillows like khalon does ;w; Knuckles" meanwhile one of the puppies has volunteered to be kyle's familiar" Kathy" I wondered why he was always around him most of the time :/ " Knuckles" gives him rides , sleeps near him, even waits by the door when I have to give him a bath" Kathy" thats ones getting a golden collar no question <3 " Knuckles" tsk, speaking of golden collars your birthday is right around the corner" Kathy"still working on the play for everyone <3 " Knuckles" I still can't believe you really want to direct a musical for your birthday " Kathy" a musical "I" star in? a musical with parts from sky's book that has alot of high drama moments which I love in stories? and a sound track thats hand picked by me so everyone's song will be to my liking <3 mumbles....that is if sky can stop being a little bitch about the genre's of music-but! thats here nor there -w- " Knuckles" some times I wonder if you were both siblings in another life given the bond you both share" Kathy" shrugs who knows maybe, maybe at point sky was even an echidna "
Knuckles" ahah yeah right " Kathy" don't be mean he tries his best" Knuckles" speaking of the best, how about an early gift?" Kathy" you know how I feel about presents too early > >" Knuckles" I think you'll make an exception this time as she brought a small box in front of her you might also need your glasses for this one " Kathy" taking her glasses allowing her to see, she opened the box and it was a new tribal necklace but stead of a green stone it was white with fragments inside it that looked cracked Kathy" a new necklace ;w; its beautiful.. but why does it look like its on the verge of cracking?" Knuckles" call that khalon' s touch, when I was sparring with him underground he punched into some rock so hard these gems revealed themselves and he wasn't sure about them but butI saw what they are, I wanted to give it a shot at making a new necklace because watch this * taking the crystal he placed it in a glass of water and held it by the light and suddenly the fragments inside it were reflecting many different colors
Kathy" oh my gosh that's beautiful ;w; " Knuckles" I couldn't tell you why this gem reacts this way but there fragile but hard to find , and given special pink boy was able to unearth it, I had to take a chance to make it , so happy early birthday kathy" Kathy" ... pulling him close to her wrapping her arms around him kissing him on the cheek please you've done enough for me no more ;w; " Knuckles" I guess neither of us know when to stop he laughed " Kathy" and then it was also thanks to khalon ;w; does he know?" Knuckles" I didn't want to tell him unless I knew it would have worked" Kathy" well he will definitely know tomorrow , thank you love! a million times over..." Knuckles" your welcome cherry , you've always been worth it" Kathy" so have you <3 "
Kitsuna" you should not have to worry wildfire has done nothing but show great support when it comes to baby supplies and clothing, we have plenty organization and help wildfire wouldn't over do it " Darkfire" and your really so sure?"
( Knock knock knock!)
Kitsuna" ! finally that must be my metal armor kit ^^ as she opened the door (BLAM!!) suddenly an avalanche of boxes buried her at the door all of babies supplies following diapers, clothing, baby food and restock of diapers Darkfire" tell him straight up sky says, he'll lay off if your just honest he said = =" Eulalie" okay so he was a little eager to help it wasn't so bad " Darkfire" a little? we have enough diapers to give to a day care, baby food for a preschool DX " Eulalie" well, wildfire always has us on a budget , but , since hes so willing to pay thats more money for us~ crossing her arms " Darkfire" eulalie = =" Eulalie" fine, fine I'll give him a cal l myself and say, lets dial it back, he only want s to make sure we have anything we need for the girl ^^ " Darkfire" well yeah" Eulalie" and um...eheh >///> .. can you tell wildfire to give us a bit a space " Darkfire" why so?" Eulalie" well... sigh* well one thing, I got a doctor's appointment tomorrow and its just routine visit, and well my doctor said there is a very small chance she.. might come early" Darkfire" !?! Eulalie" l-like I said its small , I don't want you or wild worrying, okay? " Darkfire" hearing that idea it may be out of my hands " Eulalie" or maybe your just always worried wild will over rule you, your the father your the man of the house so be the big boy and stand your ground. okay?" Darkfire" -w-.. yeah okay " Eulalie" good brushing hie hair you've been on a roll all this time, don't stop now~ kissing him passionately as she smiled
Darkfire " still a month early thata pretty big" Eulalie" the doctor said its a small chance " walking upt the boxes kitsuna was buried under trying to help remove some of them* push come to shove Ishe needs some more time in the oven or shes just ready to meet her new dad x3 " Darkfire" well which ever comes first xD" upon saying that eulalie started to clenching herself as if her body was cramping Eulalie" eheh...ahh...ahhhh.. ><; " Darkfire" eulalie!?" Eulalie" panting softly... I- I'm fine...I'm alright , whenever I would eat light, I would.. get these cramps.. but I wanted us to enjoy lunch with alicia and I didn't want to over eat , but I keep thinking it would have been too much" Darkfire" ... are you sure we shouldn't go to the doctor today? " Eulalie" we're already set for tomorrow and I promise its okay as wildfire takes her hand Darkfire"...well maybe being at the hospital won't be a bad idea " Eulalie" I told you I'm gonna go nuts if I have to wait in bed all day for the baby to arrive in case she comes I can get kathy to teleport me, simple~ " Darkfire" its amazing re depend so much on kathy " Eulalie" yes, but shes the best thing ever to rely on, "
* digging out of the boxes "
Kitsuna" and I am sure wildfire would not mind having his men over seeing your protection for the baby, so leaving kathy in your hands may also keep him back" Darkfire" -w- will see, but its like you said its almost time and I'll try to relax, as long your okay " Eulalie" promise, and on the bright side~ out of all this, I finally can measure up to kathy's league pushing her chest up X'D " Wildfire" not sure if that's something to be proud of it? >////> Eulalie" if I'm gonna be in the mother's club shouldn't I look like I am? instead of a early teens pregnancy " Darkfire" I think you still are a mother that shouldn't be a factor " Eulalie" I'm just saying, now lets get something to eat before marigold starts getting fussy again" "
Kitsuna" if I may request some help with these.. boxes... he ears lowered still seeing all the boxes wildfire ordered ...grrr..* throwing the box at the pile only for it to topple again burying her* ><!!
wildfire's manor
(Ping!) Alicia" looks like the latest shipment made it ot there house this morning " Wildfire" good to know" Alicia" its really sweet you acting so protective over the new baby even though shes not here yet " Wildfire" well nothing wrong wiht giving alittle help " Alicia" but even the fact you jsut sent enough supplies fora daycare center in the middle of a snowstorm maybe you could dial it back a bit " Wildfire" tsk, you act like I'm going overboard, " Alicia" well, honestly it depends but there is nothing wrong with taking baby steps and you know darkfire has been trying to take more strides in being independent, I mean you haven't exactly needed to babysit eulalie overh er money transactions have you "
Wildfire" no but she hasn't been in the position to do anything might I add. and besides maybe I'm jsut trying ot send the message if dark needs me or if the girl is ever in trouble she know who to call" Alicia" oh I'm sure she will, when the moment some kid kicks sand in her face on the playground that kid will disappear the next day " Wildfire" I'm not that bad " Alicia" but would you?" Wildfire"......... no" Alicia" you hesitated you would your gonna be that type of God father xD she laughed Wildfire" groans look I'm not going to be kathy 2.0 okay? nor will I have the time, so I'm leaving some men in charge to play watch owl over them while I'm not here " Alicia" again I ask "what could happen" Wildfire" a city like this, you never know, and given darkfire is a kind of a big shot whither he wants to admit it or not is irrelevant. " Alicia" but hes not a crime boss like you" Wildfire" you have any kind of money or notoriety it makes you a target, and last I checked" he won a tournament with a grand total of 30 mill " Alicia" 10 of which went to various orphanages across mobius, and another 5 went to kathy's bakery investment, and another five into eulalie's family business " Wildfire" which kathy gave back at the 5 cause she didn't need it shes already rich " Alicia" but does he know she did, I know he doesn't really look at the numbers" Wildfire" of course not, that's why I'm here , but we can talk numbers all day, right now I have a lesson plan with a bag of bones" Alicia" careful she might hear you " Wildfire" I was born careful " tossing open a warp ring quickly leaving
sol kingdom
with in the training ground both crystal and aqua were exchanging blows in the air whiel the rest of the guards simply watched, hearing there energy clashing the air repeatedly until aqua finally pulled back returning to her normal form
Aqua" panting .ho=...how was that " Crystal" miles better, your power is evenly balanced through your form instead of all into your blade " Aqua" a shame it doesn't make it stronger " Crystal" yes but it leaves your soul weaker by contrast and that is not good, but I suppose its god to have options " suddenly the warp ring opened up as wildfire made his appearance Wildfire" looks like the party was already starting without me " Crystal" no, I'd say your right on the money " Aqua" no pun in tended " Wildfire" > >.... < < so where's candlelight and snowball " Crystal" nova is busy with other tasks with niyako = = , and snowball is having a bath " Wildfire" you think training was already top priority with nova" Aqua" its not like there goofing off, we're gonan probably hear alot of noise soon from the new fighter mech niyako has been doing back flips to test thing out and nova has been jsut as eager to drive it " Wildfire" your really gonna let a teenage drive a war machine ? as both of them look at one another Crystal&Aqua" No, sky, is letting a teenager drive a war machine " Wildfire" why am I not surprised" ( BOOM!!) suddenly the entire castle rattled briefly as everyone looked out into the sky and saw was looked like a giant mech wit ha Winged gundam like appearance its main wings a dark pink hue while the other was chrome white its visor was a bright yellow while at the center having a energy red core like glow , as the mech did a tornado spin in the air and flew off leaving a streak of clouds behind it
Aqua" well I bet she having fun while the adults work " Aqua" heh don't be jealous " Crystal" but whos to say you won't have fun either , after all during our sparring patches you get don't do practice healing aqua ^w^ " Aqua"..?...!? wait wha!? is that what we're doing?? " Crystal" no dear thats what "hes" doing and now I can stop pulling punches " changign ot her reaper form* Aqua" ;w; Wait wait wait WAIT WAIT WAIT!! as crystal leaving no room to thought charged for her Wildfire" ( I'm really starting to like her more and more ) "
a few minutes before
nova was in the changing room suiting up in a jump suit before she departed along the center frame were highlighted energy lines that traced from her heart down her heels and ot he the palms of her hands , still with it feeling as fitted as it was it wasn't short of comfort but some things still bothered her*
Nova" * as much as I think the suit is cool I can't say I like the fact it makes me look like I have two coconuts for a butt" Worker" nvoa everything is ready for your departure" Nova" I'm coming! "
walking into the hanger seeing the mech waiting as it stood in place she walked wiht the worker to her launch pit, still somewhat nervous after stopping so far inside a gate way door nova walked inside on to a platform inside the mech as the systems were turning on the lights around her started to boot up, and the platform had a holo ring around her that reflected off of the suit
Nanobyte" vitals reading normal , sensory attachments activated" Nova" nanobyte is that you??" Nanobyte" yes, I suggested uploading my conscious to your mech to act as your AI, I thought it would give you a sense a familiarity" Nova" well it does ease the tension a bit " Niyako" *bing* suddenly though a holo video screen alright nova you ready?" Nova" ready as I'll ever be " Niyako" the platform your standing on is going to serve as a guide for the robot, in other words anything you do it will mimic you , well once the systems are switched on" Nova" maybe thats why you let nanobyte in as my assistant, because he would know be best" Niyako" well yeah in away xD so let finally see our dream fulfilled~ good luck princess (Ping!)
in that moment a digital field started to form and visually it formed a bubble allowing nova to see everything though the eyes of the mech , as the systems were running its check and balances the mech was pushed to the gate way leading outside Nova" maybe a seated cockpit would have been better > >;;" Nanobyte" niyako" assumed the same but he remembered your heavy foot from last time " Nova" it was one time DX " Nanobyte" twice actually" Nova" grrr... "
( All systems go Sol Spirit prepared to depart, in five, four, three, two, one....) as the mech leaped out of the base dropping from a rock wall of the island under neath the castle nanobyte took the lead as the mech hovered in the air above the ocean holding steady *
Nanobyte" how are you feeling nova?" Nova" looking around ... well ... I feel like a giant for one thing turning her head she looked down seeing the island itself and the village below Niyako" taking the sights love?" Nova" I'm doing okay so whats next " Niyako" lets try your fire for a start, your suit it absorb your flames as raw energy and transfer it to the boosts and weapon system as long as you don't go crazy and over heat the system , give it a try~ " doing as he said she raised her hand as her fire left her hand the energy was transform to her mech and outside the mech unleashed a burst of fire Nova" whooaa... this is amazing what about... doing the same with her feet as fire elevater her higher into the air
the higher she felt herself flying with ease, she did a small ballerina spin in the air before unleashing her fire blasting herself off like a rocket ( BOOM!) flying through the skys across the ocean , she soared like a seagull leaving streaks of waves in thewater until she pulled up higher and higher then any dragon would go on there own
Nova" -w- ( I dare anyone to attack us with this in our deck of cards ) ...( want to steal the sol emeralds? HA yeah thats a funny joke! ) hm? as nova was looked at the islands suddenly she noticed something that looked like a energy line tracing from one island to the next
Nova" hey,..niyako are you seeing this?... ( Kasshhhhhh) ... we're out of range?" Nanobyte" what do you see nova?" Nova" you don't see what I'm seeing, it looks like a energy line going from on island to the next, like its tracing " Nanobyte" I'm not picking up any energy reading to your description " Nova" I want to see if I can get a higher view" Nanobyte" nova we aren't built for high altitudes jsut yet" Nova" just enough for a clearer image"
as nova made the sol spirit fly higher to the point she was above the clouds reaching sky babylons level of height Nova" what the.... " looking down it looks like imprint of an design of a eye sitting around all the islands wiht the sol kingdom sitting at the center of it" ... quickly nova tried to take a video snap shot of it*
Nanobyte" Nova we are too high, we have to descend immediately! " following nanobytes words they quickly dropped back down to ocean level, eventually radio signal came back
Nova" niyako?" Niyako" CAN YOU FUCKING WARN ME BEFORE YOU TRY TO GO INTO SPACE!!" Nova" sorry sorry, I got alittle over excited and I.." Niyako " groans yes I know its a dream event for you but please just be mindful this isn't a videogame!" Nova" > >;....* shaking her head* besides that you have to see something, can you see the video footage from the camera?" as niyako and the others checked out the data
Niyako" 50,000 ft? I didn't thin it was be possible on this model but I'm better then I thought he laughed Nova" but... the" Niyako" I am seeing the power is strained a bit but at least we know what needsto be reinforced, over all this is a good first test nova " Nova" r-right... "
as she made way back to the hanger nanobyte was transferred back to his canine body, while nova took the time the change and ran into blaze in the grand hall*
Nova" mom! " Blaze" welcome back nova how was your first flight in the sol spirit" Nova" it was amazing to say the bare minimum but before I get into that, there was something I saw" Blaze" something you saw?" Nova" after flying so high I saw something looked like a energy line across the ocean and it was like it was tracing across the sea, we had to fly up to sky bablylon's height just for be to get a clear picture, I tried to pull it up on video but it just looked likea normal snap shot to everyone else , and I'm not crazy!" Blaze" okay calm down, firstly what exactly did it look like to you" Nova" calming herself ...it looked like the out light of an eye and our island was sitting in the center of it " Blaze" ....* mumbles* the phoenix's gaze " Nova" the what?" Blaze" come with me" as blaze took nova to the library, inside one of the history book she placed it on the desk . Blaze" is this what you saw? as she pointed to a picture of a bird's eye Nova" pretty close yes " Blaze" that was the Phoenix's Gaze, its an imprint on our world expressing the Goddess watching over the sol zone and everyone in it , some imagine her whole body lays imprinted over the whole planet, but only those who are first born have the ability to see it with the naked eye " Nova" so the guardians... have you see it ?" Blaze" sadly no, nor has my mother, my grandmother said shes seen it in her dreams but you being able to see it first hand its truly a blessing for us all " Nova" >///> but why suddenly I see it " Blaze" who knows, but it would be wonderful to have such a sight" Nova" well we could always fly up and see it" Blaze" oh, no no no no I have trouble embracing roller coaster heights and sky babylon was my limit clenching her chest but some things are meant for your eyes only, cherish it and know the Goddess is watching over you she smiled softly Nova" hmm.. okay blaze hugged her tightly <3 Blaze" my burning star~ I stil l remember you when you were baby, and look at you now~
Nova" well we all grow up eventually" Blaze" true but you will always be my baby <3 nuzzles her cheek ( No va... No va nova! ) Blaze&Nova" o o!? " Blaze" did he get out of basket again DX " Nova" oh no he's learning as nova picks him up maybe the goddess wil lbe kind and give you fire as well or even your scythe abilities, at least the former then you can start learning from your sister~ " Snowfall" owo ahah XD " Nova" I better help niyako with the report , otherwise he won't be happy how I ran off cause what I saw" Blaze" its fine, your father is busy with wildfire and the others teaching him the ways of your clan " Nova" yeah " I just hope they won't start fighting like two hamsters in a cage match " Blaze" no promises I bet ~ she chuckled
back in the training field
( Ahh Haaghh!... !!) aqua went tumbling like a ball as she hit the ground dragging leaving a brushing of dirt behind her
Aqua"......... " Guard1" I know this is suppose to be training but isn't this little much," Guard2" its only much cause its women fighting , no one wants to see a girl get tossed around like a rag doll" Guard1" never mind that.. it s her own mother thats doing it.. " while they chattered aqua picked herself up Aqua" CAN THE PEANUT GALLERY KEEP IT DOWN! " as the guards jumped from the spike in her voice, when wildfire casually walked over to her Wildfire" need your medic dear? " Aqua" don't you pity me..." Wildfire" hey this is your mothers orders not mine* putting his hands up* Aqua" getting her feet you could see scratches on her arms and head as she panted softly I said I'm fine.. T T" Wildfire" stubborn as a bull you are truly his sister" Crystal" yes and the fastest way to humble the soul , is hitting dirt beneath there feet" in a quick second she quickly impaled her with her energy scythe as it went through her leaving no physical damage but you can tell it nearly killed her by her expressions " Wildfire" O O;;; " Crystal" alright wildfire your turn" Wildfire" seeing aqua fall flat on her fact to the ground* ...o-oh okay..sure! " Aqua" ><.....lll"
as wildfire got on his knees he rolled aqua on her back in a second he summoned his sickles to his hands as he was looking where to even start
Crystal" you won't find any bleeding spot use your soul and sense where the wound ends and begins " Wildfire" ,,( no fucking pressure... women) ... closing his eyes suddenly it was ask crystal said he saw what looked like a burning sensation on her upper torso, slowly he took his blade and hovered over it, his energy was starting to fire a beam towards it and slowly it was sealing up, but in the mean time feeling the sensation aqua panted passively as if the pain was throbbing for her
Crystal" your doing it , it won't be long aqua" Aqua" uahhh.. >< panting..." in the mean time sky had just arrived outside hearing and seeing his sister in pain Sky" how many times are you gonna kill my sister! T T " Wildfire" ASK YOUR MOM! I'm just doing what she says! don't blame me! " Crystal" she'll be alright sky, wildfire, is actually doing pretty well on the first go even " Sky" having actual injuries was this necessary?" Crystal" well his healing will only work on souls that have taken some level of damage so its either I spar with aqua and rough her up a bit or we take wildlife and use them for our practice, and I'm very sure a certain echidna would not be fond of that " Aqua" sure! let me die twenty times, just grab a stupid weasel or something "
suddenly kathy appears
Kathy" your all gonna have me beating you with a stick in a second! " Wildfire" trying to concentrate here! " soon enough the damage energy within her soul was restored Aqua" sitting up ... " Sky" how do you feel?" Aqua" the pain is gone.. but I'm still pretty weak.. " Crystal" next is the secondary skill you have , which i soul sharing , you can share your energy with others to restore them " Wildfire" cool what do I have to do? stab them? " Crystal" >w>......hmmm sorta of " Wildfire" your kidding me" Crystal" its not physical, you've done it before with your sickles, only let the manifestation pierce there body not the blade itself" Kathy".....ORrrrrr how about I jsut do it and save fucking everyone~ ^w^ " Crystal" kathy no thisis wildfire's lessons he needs to learn if hes going to be a medic " Sky " can we get him a nurse uniform he laughed to himself Wildfire" dude, don't you start with me T T " Sky" I'm just saying eheh nurse Wild~ he chuckled Crystal" but this is what makes his ability to slow down time around him so extremely important, someone can be near death but with that power he has all the time in the world to restore them" Wildfire" is it common for my class to have that ability " Crystal" abilities do tend to vary and I haven't met many so I can not tell you " Wildfire" looks like I'm a rare breed your highness so I think I deserve som respect " Sky" goody goody gum drops T T " Wildfire" doing as crystal instructed using the energy from his blade he stabbed her in the arm while no isibile mark was left aqua did flinch, but as wildfire started to share his energy with hers he even began to feel the drain from his own body, as aqua started ot look more and more restored
Aqua" -w-.... " Wildfire" h-hows that...pant* " Aqua" actually miles better jumping to her feet Wildfire" great... cause now I feel like I ran a mile..* Crystal" it does take from you so you have to be mindful of what you can use " Wildfire" or build up stamina " Kathy" clapping that's still amazing wildfire so your a healer now although is there any other way he can do this?" Crystal" unless the person in question is hurt his power won't do anything - - " Wildfire" well I got the basic idea so not really much else is needed is there? getting back to his feet Crystal" well as you noticed your worn out just from healing aqua, you have to preform this task more to build up strength. " Sky" just like how I had to practice using my reaper form separate from my body " Kathy" OwO....l3.. slowly turns to wildfire with a gleeful grin " Wildfire" kathy..no, whatever it is no! I got plans and I'm busy- suddenly kathy grabbed him by his wrist " Kathy" welcome to your day in Kathy's medical class~ " Wildfire" KATH-(Vosh!) *both of them vanished in a second* Aqua" give that girl an inch she'll take a mile... " Sky" can wild even learn that way? its really only for our people any isn't isn't it?" Crystal" well yes and no, yes Rifvola's can repair and restored damaged scythes and users but we can also heal others in smaller ways, but you have to build up your own strength to do so, otherwise you'll be no help, worse case you can kill yourself trying to heal someone else , so healing a few animals from kathy will get wild into the mindset and rhythm to help us on bigger cases if need be " Sky" he's going to be spending alot of time with her I can imagine " Aqua" it would be better if we knew other healers he could learn from " Sky" well maybe I can get in contact with vincia and see if shes met anyone who "is" a rifvola like wild " Crystal" that sounds good after all reconnecting is also part of the plan ^^ " Sky" nods and one more thing if your going to train please don't half kill us DX , I don't like sensing aqua in pain like shes about to passout" Crystal" I admit I got little carried away but surely I wouldn't done too bad of a job o n you " Aqua" yeah mom I felt you holding back so much on me T T" Crystal" " Sky" I think that's enough for today" Aqua" so~ after kissing the dirt for the last hour I believe I can get myself a certain upgrade? >w> " Crystal" yes aqua = = " Aqua" yes!! " Sky" what up grade? Crystal" I said I would get her a new cyberlink phone if she let me rough her up a bit for wildfire's sake , Aqua" and now I get a early years end present XD " Sky" rolling his eyes have fun phone shopping, it looks like nova just got back from her test run of the sol spirit~ as he noticed the mech flying back to the hanger on the other side of the island
Castle dinning hall
everyone gathered around for dinner , nova and niyako were first at the table while following later was dash and blaze and crystal while since sky was helping in the kitchen he was the latest
Dash" so aqua , I see you got yourself the latest phone model" Aqua" being mom's punching bag paid off literally <3 " Crystal" dear, don't make me sound so terribly please " Dash" ahaha at least you can put up a fight, remember the days back in the village where you tried to help me?" Crystal" I remember -w-; Blaze" was dash not really a fighter?" Crystal" not at all, if anything he was more of the studious one out of both of us, he didn't want to be a complete wimp so he asked for my help; his words not mine." Dash" I was alittle hard on myself because I couldn't fight , even though I was not alone in the clan like this, for some reason I took it so personal. crystal was one of the few who sort of supported me and made me feel like I made a difference " Crystal" ^^ mhm~ and you did chuckles softly although I still remember the last day I was allowed the train with you, you really looked like you were getting better but we both fooled ourselves " Dash " she gave a kick that was a little too good, I tried to block it, I did but she cracked my shoulder bone in the process " Blaze" ohhh.. " Niyako" I did the same thing during my early collage years in training camp Dash" our mentor was so angry I had to beg him not to punish her " Blaze" why was it so harsh?" Dash" for those that have the blood to fight and those that don't lets just say, we are treated more delicately, male or female it doesn't matter, if you carry the blood you are important sometimes more then the ones that possess a scythe" Nova" but it can be passed on all the same can't it? dad had one and I have one so why?" Dash" but there is the chance it skips, and losing a chance to spread our kind is something the elders didn't want to lose , its like keeping a type of flower alive when only some of the petals produce saplings " Crystal" I know, how heritage words in odd ways , sometimes I prefer your system dear, it passes down from the first born simple " Blaze" it may be simple but its "very" easy to breed favoritism if you have more then one child , even if you have twins only one bares the power of flames " Nova" so if me and snowfall came together " Blaze" it would be all up to the Goddess to pick who would be given her gift " Niyako" wow... I can already see how that would foster... rubbing his muzzle nervously Blaze" mhm... but luckily my mother and myself were single children " Nova" >w> ( heaven forbid you want twins or more ) hmmm... fidgeting with her tail
Maid" if I may add in, I am familiar with families where the first son is the most important and often the second child is less of the latter be it male or female, I have to at least say it is nice to hear whither the child is male or female they are still treated fairly " Crystal" its very easy to group everyone into groups of "haves" and "have-nots" but that is the strict code we follow that our role is to serve and keep balance, and given the fact the rest of the world hated our existence it kept us all in line to look our for each other " Niyako" that's so awful though.. its not like it was your choice" Dash" just like many things , all we can do we is follow the stars that shine in our skies even if they lead us in circles, we have to trust in the creator " Crystal" ( looking away for a moment as memories were starting to crop up again, she clinched her hand and le tout a heavy sigh calming herself but enough about that so nova how was your test flight in a giant robot XD"
Nova" I wanna wait for dad before I tell that story but its not hard to tell niyako isn't really happy with me " Niyako" you just need to warn me before you decide to go into space! the mech doesn't have oxygen tanks or ways to give you air " Blaze" what if the mech hell in the ocean?" Niyako" that is going ot be the next upgrade now that we have the flying basics down, I'm still not sure about underwater travel that might have to be saved for another model altogether but that will be for a later time "
Sky" lets talk about another mech at another time , I'm not going to go over the budget again with the sol spirit and neither will jack" as sky arrived with the other waiters helping place the dinner plates around Nova" .w. seeing a plate of sliced fruit <3 " Blaze" is jack happy with th results of the sol spirit " Sky" taking his seat its funny I asked him that, he told me "its your money you spent, shouldn't you be happy?" he always sounds so bitter with me " Dash" well you are his boss aren't you " Sky" having second opinion isn't bad plus what I "don't" talk about is the investors that keep calling " Blaze" are they still making there own beast units?" Sky" yes adn thanks to nova's little sky performance ( Nova" blushes heavily ) all I get is " hey I can help fund your project / tell me more about these machines/ that was amazing / blah blah blah... an d every single one I. say. no " Dash" why not? wouldn't be good for funding" Sky"....* sigh* this might sound selfish but its for us and us alone, the so l spirit is going to a symbol for the royal family, and the kingdom at large. and if others started building there own or started trying to mass produce them, at least the way we do... " Niyako" it would be the JuJinki conflict all over again..."
Nova "the what??" Niyako" it was small civil war between two kingdoms using mecha it was fight for the right of the resources that helped construct them, eventually they ruined a large part of the sea terrain harming wildlife, until the magister stepped in forcing the conflict to stop and outlawing the production altogether , Crystal" so barbaric " Niyako" more like a bunch of children " Sky" right so... if I slow down or stop that path I will, and if they do build something out of spite, we will have the superior model always, " Niyako " feeling validated X3" Crystal" oh its always all business and drama -w- lets try to have some lighter topics for dinner everyone and nova try to save some water melon for everyone else " Nova" > > sorry as she tacked her plate Sky" theres another half in the kitchen the maids and workers are free to take from if she wants seconds she can " Nova" l3 " Crystal" still you don't want her to be a chucky kitty " Nova" I'm not fat DX besides it fruit anyway... >3> " Sky" eheh shes mindful don't worry and I'm sure niyako wants his looking fine as always" Nova" dad! DX Niyako" well her wedding dress is elastic~ " Nova" o///w///o YOU! bites his arm as she hissed Niyako" Ow! okay okay okay I take it back! DX " Nova" Grrrrrrrrr... " Aqua" such an animal " Blaze" xD " Sky" Ahahahah " Crystal" smiles softly looking around at everyone* ( now this is a family dinner) ^w^ ...!? under the table dash grabbed her hand firmly crossing his fingers with hers Dash" those rough days are behind us , lets keep on full speed ahead my bright knight~ " Crystal" bright knight.. you haven't called me that since we were kids " Dash" doesn't mean I don't think about it~ " Crystal" kisses him on the cheek ^w^ "
Nova" anyway as for what happened during the flight, I saw this energy outlight high in the sky and it connected to the islands forming some kind of image and before I knew it it looked likea giant eye, mom called it the guardian's gaze " Blaze" the "Phoenix Gaze" nova " Nova" right! Phoenix sorry it really was an amazing sight. and only a few actually saw it , I asked mom if she wanted to chance to fly up and" Blaze" I have my height limits thank you dear but I trust you 100% " Sky" well something for the history books~ " Aqua" speaking of books , a blaze a new lack-a-daisy novel arrived at the book store" Blaze" I'm still waiting for my signed pre-order copy damn it!! ...*ahem*... I am aware and I'm looking forward to it > >; Sky" maybe will look into it , make sure its not lost in the mail " Blaze" I hope not =w= " Sky" hmm~ I wonder how nurse wildfire is doing" Aqua" your not going to let that go are you " Sky" no I am not , its something I can tease him with finally " Nova" mom is right you both do act like siblings" Sky" well he starts it T T " Crystal" I rest my case~" a shared laughter filled the room
nearing the end of the day
back at wildfire's home
living room
a warp ring opens up as wildfire walked through dragging his feet as he fell face first on the couch
Alicla" what happened to you, did crystal work you that much??" Wildfire"...no... kathy... I hate.. that women ..so much" Alicia" what did she do" Kathy" teleports hes been taking some lessons when it comes to healing and I always have alot of critters or sometimes folks that need help~ so this will be his work out session with me for a while but honestly he did really good for a first day~ so see you in a week (Vosh!) " Alicia" oh thats right, your scythe power was healing wasn't it, and on that note was it similar to kathy so she was able to help teach you? not crystal" Wildfire" need people to heal in order to practice....which kathy... has no shortage of... " Alicia" I see.. well I'll try to have the meal plans be your favorites if that will ease the pain " Wildfire" groans ... just being away from kathy is enough... turning over on his bad any word from darkfire" Alicia" well,, your latest supply drop was delivered and I think hes had enough for now " Wildfire" it can never be too much" Alicia" still , he asked me to tell yo uto relax a bit, kitsuna isn't fond of being turned into a mobian forklift " Wildfire" and only he would care about what a drone would have to say "
Alicia" but jokes aside its nice seeing you get along so well with sky's family like its given you something else to think about rather then work all the time ^w^ Wildfire" I suppose , but I'm not one to just lay around as she finally sat up Alicia" at least not without someone underneath anyway l3 " Wildfire" hmph, any news on the delivery? " Alicia" everything quiet for now and given the day you've had why not just take it easy, you know your allowed to right?" Wildfire" you don't have to tell me that" Alicia" then why am I?" Wildfire" .... maybe over doing it " Alicia" see? you already know brushing her hand against his chest as she nuzzled his cheek so just try to take it easy~ doctor wild~ l3 " Wildfire" ( I'll take that over blue boy calling me nurse )... "
back home for kathy as the day was coming to a close she was honestly worn out herself letting herself fall on the bed
Kathy" groans.... ..finally..just..be..fine... everyone" Knuckles" seeing kathy on the bed did everyone ware you down again?" Kathy" well...no I just.. it was just too many things at once, plus I bit off more then I could chew today giving wildfire a healing lesson cause I just wanted to, I've been watching darkfire and eulalie like a hawk cause the baby will be here soon ;w; and I want to be there, and THEN the stuff for sky and his family , its just been alittle bit scattered and I don't like it, but things are at least calming down" Knuckles" well that's good to hear but I thought we said we'd take it easier from now?" Kathy" we did, but this was just one of "those" times picking herself up she started to change slowly into her sleep wear Knuckles" you know you don't have to be there for every turning point in someones life right?" Kathy" I know.. but you know how important darkfire is. hes my doppo and will always be ;w; and if I have to strain just little more I'll do so for him. letting he hair down, she threw her night gown on, before sitting back on the edge of the bed and seeing his and eulalie's baby is going to be something big not just because its a new baby but, I've notice darkfire is finally growing stronger and more confident and in a lot of ways, he won't need me anymore " Knuckles" ahhh... so like a baby bird leaving the nest sort of thing" Kathy" in a way yes, plus with him being a reaper sky will also be looking out for him too so again less for me to do ^^ " Knuckles" who isn't a reaper at this point it feels like everyone is as he lied down behind her Kathy" ahaha its a shame I can't pinpoint them out xD" Knuckles" naw we don't need that, cause then you'd be helping sky way more then you should, I think the master emerald guardian is plenty for us" Kathy" don't you mean the emerald kingdom l3 " Knuckles" I thought it was gonna be the chaos kingdom" Kathy" Chaos doesn't really have positive vibe > > so I think emerald sounds better" Knuckles" or we just settle on the kathy kingdom" Kathy" I don't want to validate everyone who says I have a big head T T she pouted Knuckles" ha ha ha you have big things but a head isn't one " Kathy" hmph"
Knuckles" we've come a long way haven't we" Kathy" hm?" Knuckles" feels like only yesterday this island was just us and the animals next thing I know I'm sitting here with 5 kids and 12 house pets " Kathy" ^///^ well you know life can be like that~ as she lied down on her side facing him I know I can push my luck too much when it comes to the others and even those I still have bad blood with like breezie or mongel but I think little adversity is what makes things interesting, no?" Knuckles" I could bring up the chapter with your "sister" being the web conflict but I don't want this is go on forever" Kathy" well you wouldn't be wrong she laughed but even shes busy being an empress now and out of our hair - - " Knuckles" sighing softly... mhm... even the twins are growing too fast for me " Kathy" I know right, kathelyn is starting to follow khalon around more and more shes even started to punch the pillows like khalon does ;w; Knuckles" meanwhile one of the puppies has volunteered to be kyle's familiar" Kathy" I wondered why he was always around him most of the time :/ " Knuckles" gives him rides , sleeps near him, even waits by the door when I have to give him a bath" Kathy" thats ones getting a golden collar no question <3 " Knuckles" tsk, speaking of golden collars your birthday is right around the corner" Kathy"still working on the play for everyone <3 " Knuckles" I still can't believe you really want to direct a musical for your birthday " Kathy" a musical "I" star in? a musical with parts from sky's book that has alot of high drama moments which I love in stories? and a sound track thats hand picked by me so everyone's song will be to my liking <3 mumbles....that is if sky can stop being a little bitch about the genre's of music-but! thats here nor there -w- " Knuckles" some times I wonder if you were both siblings in another life given the bond you both share" Kathy" shrugs who knows maybe, maybe at point sky was even an echidna "
Knuckles" ahah yeah right " Kathy" don't be mean he tries his best" Knuckles" speaking of the best, how about an early gift?" Kathy" you know how I feel about presents too early > >" Knuckles" I think you'll make an exception this time as she brought a small box in front of her you might also need your glasses for this one " Kathy" taking her glasses allowing her to see, she opened the box and it was a new tribal necklace but stead of a green stone it was white with fragments inside it that looked cracked Kathy" a new necklace ;w; its beautiful.. but why does it look like its on the verge of cracking?" Knuckles" call that khalon' s touch, when I was sparring with him underground he punched into some rock so hard these gems revealed themselves and he wasn't sure about them but butI saw what they are, I wanted to give it a shot at making a new necklace because watch this * taking the crystal he placed it in a glass of water and held it by the light and suddenly the fragments inside it were reflecting many different colors
Kathy" oh my gosh that's beautiful ;w; " Knuckles" I couldn't tell you why this gem reacts this way but there fragile but hard to find , and given special pink boy was able to unearth it, I had to take a chance to make it , so happy early birthday kathy" Kathy" ... pulling him close to her wrapping her arms around him kissing him on the cheek please you've done enough for me no more ;w; " Knuckles" I guess neither of us know when to stop he laughed " Kathy" and then it was also thanks to khalon ;w; does he know?" Knuckles" I didn't want to tell him unless I knew it would have worked" Kathy" well he will definitely know tomorrow , thank you love! a million times over..." Knuckles" your welcome cherry , you've always been worth it" Kathy" so have you <3 "
