back home at the acorn castle



sally was just about to sit down when suddenly she heard the door as sonic just made his arrival



Sally" almost a second too late " Sonic" hey I know how to make it on time xD " Sally" well in that case " lets not waist another second as everyone too ka seat at the dinner table , as everyone was slowly taking there potions for there plate, shadow's words started to play in sonic's head



Sonic" sigh hey um.. kids?" Sonia&Manic" ?? " Sonic" listen I think.. I feel I have to apologize for my recent behavior this week, I guess I've gotten a bit of a wake up call from trying to be a old man trying to act cool, my one golden rule, so with that being said I'll try to ease up on the antics if you know what I mean, and if you ever need some trips and tricks you know I'm here " Sonia" well you weren't as cringe as you think you were, the only time I thought you were overdoing it was the time you were showing off when you got me from school , that was alittle overkill " Sonic" the kids had some music playing and they signaled me to join in I couldn't leave them hanging, maybe they didn't notice who I was at the moment " Sonia" yeah but I did from far away luckily people liked it so I guess it was fine but you know " Manic" I never thought dad was cringe what do you mean" Sonia" come on manic there has been a few times" Manic" all I can say is the thing wih the shoes, what was it? street sleeks " Sonic" you guys act like I came up with there on my own it was from a recent commercial " Sonia&Manic" that no nobody watches " Sonic" come on there has to be someone even I thought they were pretty cool " Sally" careful sonic your showing your age again she smirked" Sonic" groans a-anyway, my point is I won't go overboard again unless I can really get away with it fair" Manic" alright fair " Sonia" but if you start break dancing in public again " Sonic" hey I got to be me sorry xD"



Sally" hmhmh x3 well right now lets enjoy the privacy of our own home everyone~ Manic" I don't know I like street sleeks xD sounds funny " Sonia" of course you would" Sonic " chuckled a bit ot himself as he smiled softly ( maybe I was over thinking it, I got nothing to worry about , as long as there the best they can be that's all that should matter ) ^^ "



meanwhile



later the night at rouge's club

rouge was face planted on the desk wit ha drink in hand



Kathy" girl don't let him get to you too much I thought he is how he is" Rouge" mimics ohh careful her teeth don't tear the bags ha ha ha~ he does not know "bags" is a ugly word for a women! for someone who claims to be a player a, womanizer, a playboy this...this is what he does whimpers Kathy" brushing her back its alright its alright " look at you your vastly in your prime ou even havea casino named after you xD" Rouge" I know but still it hurts just a little bit" Kathy" well lets talk about some newer subjects like say what do you think of my new dress as kathy was eager to express her new dress made from a thick polished vibrant jungle leaf trimmed to be a shoulder-less top with fish net sleeves and a violet stockings that went up to her hips*

Rouge" a little daring darling, feeling little showy tonight" Kathy" well normally I wouldn't have but seeing hearing you vent and whine kind of made me want to show off as your superior l3 swinging her ponytail Rouge" superior? sweetie you hurt me..." Kathy" I'm just kidding! XD shaking her lightly by the shoulder hey waiter lets get another round over please~ just relax shake him off and have some fun, no matter what your still batting a thousand compared to him " Rouge" yeah with my test tube son and a daughter thats a bat by day and alien horror show by night oh yeah I'm battin alright ... " Kathy" oh don't talk that way, sure it might not have been the was you expected, but, at the time you claimed midnight as your own you embraced it fully and he loves you, your his mother maybe not since a baby but he t least accepts you and thats the important thing, and ruby, okay shes a creature by night but she learns to respects the rules set but you and by me to a lesser extent. so long as that side of her understands that, thats all that matters" Rouge" I suppose your right, but you seem to carry alot more weight with your motherly ways then I do" Kathy" oh everyone says that I don't know why, XP... Waiter!! using her energizer she grabbed him pulling him from the opposite end of the counter I asked if we could have are fresher please ^^ Waiter" y-yes ma'am! coming right up! DX Rouge" gee I could never imagine why.. "



at the same time , from afar you saw jet wave and storm sitting on the far side

Jet" this girl is everywhere I swear >< Storm" she won't be a problem boss this is a shoo in " Wave" plus we head to the temple temple follow the route as planned and boom straight to the twilight zone" Storm" and we're set for life XD " Jet" I know" Wave" then why don't you seem happy? we have been having a hot streak " Jet" .... guys sure you call me crazy" Storm" never! " Wave" I won't insult you but I will criticize" Jet" well remember the coordinates I figured out? ever since I did, I've been getting these nightmares, like I'm standing on his ridge and beneath me are there spirits that are angry hateful I try to run but they chase me down and before they catch me I wake up, I've had 3 dreams like that in the past mouth " Storm" sounds ominous " Wave" ( poor baby ;w; ) well luckily dream can't hurt you, we are on the brink of becoming the best of the best , which whatever we find, and besides its not we have to take everything, just a few little things and they can have everything else, I'm willing to be fair if it means avoiding a curse " Storm" but you admit theres a curse owo " Wave" o o; shaking her head look the point is we aren't getting shaky feathers now we're on the brink of something big and will burns our team in the stages of history sticking her knife into her food Jet"......." Storm" .... well boss ?" Jet" - - your right , we're the babylon rogue we fly fast and strong and no one will soar higher then us & putting his fist out* Storm" hell yeah! " Wave" all or nothing! "





without wasting alot of time the babylon rogues followed the routes to the ancient temples, leading to the outside temples walls of the ruins not being too far from the master emerald grounds, the temple footing was actually underneath a old water passage route somewhere unexpected from everyone else



Wave" this seems a far far from anywhere important, it jsut looks like a old water canal Jet" yeah I thought the same thing grabbing his flashlight but check this out as he brushed away the vines and leaves and dried dirt there was engravings on the wall like symbols and markings" Wave" !? engravings? way out here? Jet" right on the nose " Storm" okay? so what are we looking for? " Jet" the short answer, something thats points to the location of a valve thats in the river " Wave" in the river? the river current is strong enough to wash any of us away , we would need some equipment if we were to find it " Jet" we don't have time will just have to try out luck..?! approaching a spot with a arrow on it he lined up the arrow with the spot on the ground as it was pointing to a specific location marking it with a laxer pointer I think I found it " Wave" now how do we get to it? " Jet" only one way, I need to be fast, taking a rope he tied it around his waist and handed the rest to storm and wave, while throwing the slack around a spike, putting his goggles on he took a bee breathe* I hope I'm right! as he dived into the rushing current with ina second he was thrown along with it and both storm and wave locked down to hold him from getting carried off, while in the river jet clawed his way to the spot the light was on digging into tthe location ina haste only to finally hit something like a lever and as he pulled it o nthe top us a passageway opened up

Storm" HE GOT IT! " Wave" GOOD NOW PULL HIM UP! jet made his way toeh edge climbing himself out of the river as storm pulled him out as he panting heavily JEt" coughing ..' Wave" you did it! " Jet" barely..*coughing* a inch shorter and I would have been searching blindly >< "



waking there way inside the passage way the texture on the walls completely changed looking foreign to even babylon text

Storm" yo wave can you make any of this out?" Wave"....sadly no, and I have a master in hieroglyphics Jet" in that case, looks like we're flying blind here boys " suddenly coming across a panel that had a picture of multiple hovering platforms with a circle a the base with a line of text above it Wave" fins something?" Jet" this matches the code of text I've been racking my brain over the past month" Wave" let me see if I can read it " Jet" I can barely understand it let alone read it " Wave" well thats why I'm here~ asshe brushed her hands across each symbol" ....Eo.....Ni.....Pa....Xqe.....Zqu? Jet" G-que? " Wave" not G-que its like... Gi-qu but with a z at the end" Storm" ahhh maybe we can get close to it, like achoo " Wave" thats not gonan work achoo isn't even gonna respond to- suddenly there was a high pitch vibration going on as the stone started to glow respond?



* without any hesitation a rip in the air opened up on top of both jet and wave int oa another dimension and storm without thinking rushed in in fear of getting left behind ( Wait for me!!) ZZziippptt!)



and just like that they were in the twilight zone but only a different part of it



Jet" ugh is everyone alright?!" Storm" I'm good! " Wave" I'm... alright..." as they took in there surroundings the place was alarmingly silent no wind or sound was heard on the horizon looks like a wasteland of a town or a valley above in the sky was a moon a ruby red just hovering still" Jet"..is this...really the right place?" Wave" going by the descriptions I would say yes but... this place feels so... dead" Jet" pulling a digital graphic of the map he made* and we're on ly part way there, now the map I have matches the environment so come on we still have some ground to cover, get your gear and stay close"



pulling out there boards they hovered through the wasteland seeing hovering energy runics , books and remains of begins that used to live there

Wave" you know we entered dead burials before, bones and brittle , halfdead but why does this feel so.. so bad like... hugging her self* Storm" no joke my feathers been shaking ever since we ended up in this weird place I say we beat it DX " Jet" look I don't liek it any more then you guys, but we're this close, there it is! " as jet pointed ahead it was a temple grounds that appeared ot a library of sorts , jet not to waste time he boosted towards the door way ramming it to knock the doors open ( Wham!) a doubt cloud filled the air as the sound was only thing that echoed through the land



Jet" waving his team to follow he was the frist to walk inside*, storm followed behind while wave was the last as they looked across the city seeing nothing but what looked like a empty horror scene ( Whoosh!) Wave" !? suddenly behind hr something sounded like it moved ...."

Storm" ( Wave don't get left behind! ) " Wave" I'm not! "

inside the building was something of a library with shelves of books and tablets even trinkets with texts written on them Jet" look at all this stuff I remember reading about some ancient runics in story books but some of this stuff looks like the stuff from fairy tales" Storm" picking upa book as he opened it up suddenly the text inside inside it started moving as it glowed until suddenly the text started melting off the pages itself on the floor as it turning to acid as it touched (Sizzzzz!) Storm" Ahhhh! throwing the book away* I'll take a magic carpet any day DX " Wave" ahahah too advanced for you l3 " Storm" its not like a I'm dumb! >< " Wave" nah its fine some of us aren't able to handle the move advanced of technology thats why you have me on board l3 ...storm? " as she turned around seeing he was gone without a trace* storm thats not funny! come on out......storm?...... jet..Jet! from the main center jet had pulledout a main central unit as he tried to activate it Jet! " Jet" wave whats wrong?" Wave" have you seen that oof!? he was with me for a second adn and he- O O.... h-hh e he....he"



suddenly as she became stunned with fear, as above his head there was what looked like a centipede like creature made of energy and rotten bones as it hovered above them along the walls as its eyes were glowing vividly with energy a cyan blue, as it looks down as the same color dropped from its tusks like saliva mean while on its back it was like storm was magnetized to its body hanging limp, meanwhile all she could do was cub her mouth keeping herself from screaming as she pointed hoping for jet to see



Wave" Hmm!! hmmm!! ;w; " Jet" taking the chance to look up and the beast responded looking down at him stunned for the split second its legs all clattered away like on keyboard before it twisted its head, curiously, as jet grabbed a broken rod adn in the second it it rushed towards him he threw it hitting it in the face as he bolted off adn grabbing wave with him as they ducked around a aisle



Wave" that.- that thing its it storm he-!" Jet" Shhhh I know.. I know ...maybe there is a way we can save him" " wave" (Whispers) How!? we don't even know what this thing is!? or what any of this stuff is here..." Jet" well we proved we can hurt it, thats for one thing as he checked behind over his shoulder looking for it okay I saw some weapons on display in another room, I'll draw it attention and you run and grab something okay?"

Wave" .. tears were welling in her eyes asshe was silently panicking... Jet" grabbing her hand.. hey come on we've been in worse spots then this will get out of this too and will get storm okay" Wave" mhm nods ;w; Jet" great now lets do this" suddenly jet took another look and saw the beast looking around two aisles down okay Isee it now your chance* as he jumped up* " Wave" shaking her head okay pull yourself together I can do this, I'm not gonan get shown up like this as she jumped to her feet but within that second she turned the other way the creature was standing in front of her as it hovered as its body was moving in various wave she could see it was bones were adjusting and readjusting constantly as it was in her face* Wave" its...body...is...rotted...corpses? suddenly its body lunged towards her

Suddenly Wave woke up standing outside a building that lookd likea school South island engineering she was dressed in a more younger casul outfit something for school*



???" Wave you coming?! the exam is today remember you don't want to be late!" Wave" !? -right wait up! "



in the real world jet approached the beast only for it to fade away

Jet" huh?! " checking behind him the real beast was behind him with only wave and storm on its back Wave..storm... no... no this can't be happening!! " suddenly the beast rushed him but just before it touched him suddenly a bolt of energy struck between them scaring the monster back



Jet" ?!!" suddenly from above valissa dropped down charging a energy sphere in her hand begone you Beast! ( Shaaakkkkk!!) suddenly the energy she gave up scared it off into the hall so of the building Jet" who are you?!" Valissa" valissa nice to see some poor souls finally made there way here, only took about two decades " Jet" what was that thing!?" Valissa" its a creature that feasts off of high levels of emotion joy, sadness, guilt whatever if you have a lot of it it will make you experience it until it sucks you dry and it wears your corpse like a trophy" Jet" I need to save my team" Valissa" that will be easy at least, but I just need to have it held down " Jet" just tell me what you need"





with in the dream state



we are at the school for technology and machines wave was sitting at her desk tapping her pencil at her desk when looking up around her she saw her class mates and the teacher, when a test sheet was handed to her she quickly started filling down the answers rather quickly but one of the questions she was hesitant on

Wave" .....( I remember this one... it cost me the exam... I can't fall short again... I get the work but why is the map work so difficult >< )



( not too late)

Wave" !?" suddenly a dark shadow of herself was over her shoulder leaning over her ???" its not too late, no one will notice and you'll impress him" as she looked over and across the way Jet was also taking the exam himself ???" you know the work who cares if you fudge the work alittle, all in the name of being the best right?" Wave" y-yeah...



having the work sheet of another student she swapped named with the papers before handing the papers over



continuing passed we change scenes to the results and finding wave's name was one of the top scoring papers, looking proud of herself then suddenly to her side tw of her friends were talking, as she approached them to say hi they looked at her with disdain and walked away Wave" wh- wha? whats wrong?" ???" we know what you did, luckily the teacher caught it but its too late now, , we thought you were better then that ... and I thought we were friends " Wave" !? lookign at at the names on the paper she switched out her friends test for her own No! viper it not like I-* in that second they were gone" Jet" great work passing the bar xD " Wave" h-huh oh yeah it was easy " Jet" you know there is some old relics I was studying that may lead to something big but I need a good tech expert on my team want to share the profits if it works out " Wave" o///o yeah totally! wait, but isn't your uncle going to put you in charge of the armada ffirst division" Jet" bunk my uncle! I'm not a conquer I'd rather race and once I get my hands on his old blimp he'll get that message loud and clear"

Wave" g-great.. glad to be here ( only cause I cheated) ( wil lmy name get taken down cause of her?) ( they thought I was better but I didn't earn it "



( Instructor wave can I see you for moment ) as the instructor approached her calling her ot the office her shadow behind her gripped her shoulder tightly

???" just do what you have to, get by, these losers mean nothing to you" Waves" they..mean nothing to me.. but..) ???" what but? you feel bad, whats done is done, you have your cause as the shadow started to dig into her back

/

Vioer" well!? scene change as the was being asked about the results Wave" ..I...I.. its hard to save, she copies from me all the time," Viper" no I don't! " Wave" sadly one time I did it from her, it waso nly one question Iwas unsure on but the rest was down, don't punish ehr please she can do the work just let her have a redo please " Viper" you swapped my papers! we al lknow you didn't know the second tier work! Wave" " Instructor" I am a little disappointed you both say you copy off each other but I'm willing to let you both retact it so there is no confusion" Viper" you.... " Insctructro" viper enough, be glad you have this chance to redo it and fix a mistake rather then having no option at all" Viper" ><!!" Wave" > >;;;



changing the scene again we were viper pinning wave to the wall



Viper" you have any idea what you did to me!! I most out of a apprenticeship because of you!! al lforyou adn stupid need to be better then everyone else " Wave" viper I.. " Viper" you have such great skills but your too scared to admit when your wrong and would rather put up a front, ..* as tears filled her eyes* I thought we were friends dropping her if I see your face again I'm tearing your beak off, you and jet belong together.. your both cheats at the end of the day"

Wave" ... ;w; ...* hugging herself asshe softly cried as s the shadows around her enclosed taking her energy away*



meanwhile on the outside



Jet" so what exactly do I need to do ?" Valissa" just grabs it attention and lead it int oa corner because the moment I bet my hands on it it will try to run away" as the creature was standing by the entrance from a next it had formed, Jet" here goes nothing! HEY FREAK OVER HERE! (SHirrkkk!!) the monster quickly snapped towards him and gave chase as jet tried to make his way through the aisles he was busy knocking things over until eventually jet was cornered by it



Jet" ...?! suddenly as it lifted up its torso opened up realinga wall of teeth along its torso but just before it coudl do anything valissa came fro mbehind wit ha giant sphere of energy leaving it stunned

Valissa" get out of the way!! * aas jet moved quickly suddenly it was as if the energy from the sphere was beind sucked away as the energy that was visible from its mouth and eyes were being drained away as it tried to get away but soon it was too late as its body begamea dried up husk. with in moments the bones and corpes al lfell to the ground into a broken pile ( Crasshhh!) with valissa catching the other two before they hit the ground placing them gently beside one another



Jet" Wave! Storm! Guys! come on wake up say something!" shaking her wave enetually opened her eyes to him

Wave" j-jet?? Jet" oh thank chaos your okay " Wave" what.. happened" Storm" I was having a good sleep you you promoted me to right hand and Igot to lead our first mission! xD " Jet" sure storm" Wave" how nice you get the nice dreams TT ....!? but where that thing!?" Valissa" dead don't worry" Storm" ?!! Wait! I know you your uhh uhhh.. you worked with kathy that one time, and tails I think.. it was uhh it starts with a Z " Valissa" actually a V but close enough TwT; " Jet" she helped kill that ..whatever it was" Valissa" it was a spirit stalker they catch you and force you relieve your best or worst moments or it will make up something to make you feel a strong emotion to feed itself, eventually your body will go old and brittle then it wearing your bones like its own body " Storm" talk about a nightmare come true" Valissa" now with that said I'll happily get you out of here, that was probably just one of many that are out there "



Jet" we came here looking for a ancient treasure " Valissa" which one there are many" Storm" it was from the hawk eye diamond! Valissa" the hawk eye... oh that piece of junk >< fine but you need to stay close as hell to me got it!" Wave" why are you so willing to help us " Storm" yeah usually the one who saves us don't like us stealing there stuff " Valissa" well thats a bit of a story for that and- suddenly there was creaking coming from the otherside of the building oh no, we need to go! Now! "



with in the distand ou could see zombie like people walking towards them all with the same cyan blue eyes like the creature Jet" wha are those thing!? " Valissa" husks! now move!!



wasting no time they rushed out an open window on there gear when the husk caught a glimpse of them they all immediately went into feral attack mode and started rushing like insects rushing across a field but on there way out valissa formed an black energy ball and fired it towards the mall



(Vrrrrmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!) it expanded until hit created a giant black hole sucking in anything inside it once it vaporized half the central hall was gone along with some of the husks



Storm" whoa! " Jet" just who are you and how did you even find us here" Valissa" this place use to be my home, and I'm the last of its people, well that and my siblings" Wave" the shape shifters" Valissa" bingo now lets talk somewhere else where the beasts won't hunt us! as they flew off







after gathering some distance between the locations the four of the mstopped by a ridge far from town and what appeared to be a oasis with fresh water. around the water these butterfly's would hover around that were made of water themselves



Jet" alright so let me get this straight, your name is valissa and your a shapeshifter one of the people that use to live here. these powerful mages that existed beyond the zones" Storm" and your saying they were incredibly egoistical and you jsut wipped them out by yourself?" Wave" I find that hard to believe"



Valissa" well not directly... " Jet" but if your magic is so powerful you don't really seem that keen on protecting it " Valissa" because I don't care, this isn't like the story books you come across a powerful being that wants to protect there stuff, this only reason I'm here is because I don't want the things "here" to get out " Wave" hugging herself nervously,,,," Jet alright then, any help I suppose we can use , this was the map I was able to get from the diamond hawk as he showed the map to valissa you actually called it a piece of junk" Valissa" because it is but anything here would be treasure to you folk... alright we can take the central trench to get to the Star balcony.,"

Jet" nods*...



Wave"...* holding her head down* " Storm" yo wave you okay, you've been alittle shaken up since well-" Wave" oh stuff it! you get a dream while I'm stuck in a nightmare from a monster that wants to use your life force dry! like you care" Storm" s-sorry I just... you know...was worried" Wave"... I'm sorry... it was just..it was scary and I'm fine just still shaken up" Storm" hey I was shaken up too this place is crazy , but will only get out of here and rich together " Wave" sure... " Storm" you know I never asked, what your dream was" Wave" what?" Storm" what your dream was, I think this will be our big time, what are you looking forward to after this , me? I'm going to enter the Dodonpa league" Wave" the dodonpa league?" Storm "yeah the high class racing league, they won't even let you enter unless you got some super high class gear, which well... I don't have, but once we make it big I can get any gear I want and have you fix it up and pay you for the work" Wave" you would want me to fix it up for you" Storm" yeah! only the best, you might be a wet patch of feathers but I trust your gear you always worked good for me and who else would I go to " Wave" ...* blushing lightly as she quickly turned away* w-well yeah of course you'd want my help and given our status I'm sure I can throw in some fine work for you -w- ..... but... thanks.. " Storm" birds of a feather " Wave" flock together" Strom" looks like there ready to set off" Wave" yeah... just give me a second"



as storm rejoined the others wave cuppedh er beak trying to muzzle her crying as tears ran down her cheeks



Wave" I never deserved any of you " quickly shaking off her tears she jumped on her board as the lot of them made there way to the star balcony like she mentioned, which looked likea museum like building on the ridge of a hill inside the building was a collection of books encased in energy and items that looked like magic staff's to weapons, armor and spheres with a mulit rings around it like a small planet



Storm" whoaaa what are these things?! " Valissa" energy cores colors represent its primary usage , red is for elemental , green is for nature, yellow is for machinery stuff like that" Storm" out this be use for extreme gear!?" Valissa" you could try it crossing her arms but I warn you its like hooking up a blender to a car engine " Storm" sounds like the power I'd need he smirked Valissa" don't blame me if you blow yourself up" walking throug hthe main room suddenly jet spotted what looked likea diamond hawk sleeping inside an energy sphere, it looked jsut like the statue back home only it was alive" Jet" oh my gosh... Valissa! is this..!? as she dashed towards him* Valissa" wow its still here and thriving the energy hasn't eroded" Wave" should it have?" Valissa" I wasn't expecting much to last here but I guess I can even be surprised as she walked up to it , a panel appeared with a display of various symbols appeared oh damn it...what was the passcode again..."

Jet" !? suddenly jet looked up and above him he saw something hanging from the ceiling VALISSA! tackling her he helped her dodge a creature that fell from the ceiling



the creature suddenly reformed itself from a mass of black substance int oa more humanoid figured taking the shake of a chaos being only courrpted



???" ahh.....aghh.....* as its face forced itself opento form a mouth* ..valissa ...*pant* valissa! .... you... traitor ....* suddenly its body became solid and more form fitting* Traitor! " Valissa" your still alive here?" ???" of course I am! you think I would let our work be rotted away beause of you! how could! " Valissa" > >" ???" don't don't..*inhale* don't faint ignorance you stole... you stone the dark arts from this location!! and unleashed all the worst markers on our home! so many of us died only a handful escaped to other zones, you..monster!" Valissa" oh stuff it! I dont' wantt hear this from you lot, every. single. one of you! on your high horse egotistical monsters you would invade other realms, wipe out hundreds of people and make it your own anyone that wasn't a shapeshifter or as powerful as us you saw as weak and worthless you had no love or compassion for anything but yourselves! " ???" thats right...I had love and compassion for you.. your siblings....Noixa ( nox-see-ah) Valissa" ?!....dad? " Wave&Storm" dad!? " suddenly as he suddenly changed his from to match hers which was a mercat ???" its been a long time my prime star user" Valissa" don't call me that, you all would have killed millions don't try to act like I'm a monster" ???" your not a monster for killing millions other species murder countless on the daily be it for food or labor , your a monster for turning against your own people , your a monster for turning on your family, your a monster for running away and destroying your home" Valissa"............" ???" I don't know what wasin your head at the time but I'm only sad I did not see it sooner, I could have put restraints on you untill you came to your save and saved our family... " Valissa" SHUT UP would a family force me to work day in and day out trying to be the damn best, would a family punish me for not preforming 100% all the time, would a FAMILY plan to invade and enslave the outer zones and kill anyone who didn't submit!? " ???" only a family who cares about its own tribe, that is the whole reason we stand together , why we are the strongest, why our power extends beyond anything imaginable , and now you have to nerve to bring outsiders here I'm sorry to called you my favorite to your mother" Valissa" yeah well... I HAVE NEW FAMILY NOW! suddenly she fired a laser towards him but he blocked it



???" you won't be able to beat me not without the serpents fang. you'd best just leave before the other husks arrive to eat you all alive, they should be on there way now" Valissa" oh? reaching into a portal you mean THIS thing?" as she pulled out a snake fang that was shining with radiant energy ???" how?!" Valisssa" outside this realm I'm known as th e collector I collector many things even items from our home, our history adn legacy still remains with me , only without the ugly history that you drag along with us, now why don't you join your false Gods and DIE! as she rushed him stabbing him with the fang ???" ahh... as the energy started to infect his boddy making it light up as he desperately grabbed her wrist ...what...of your brother and sister...did...they deserve this fate..?" Valissa" don't worry...there safe with me... " ???" Noixa... I... in that moment he collpased for the floor and disintegrated into particles, following right after the sphere that held the diamond hawk was free



Jet" ..yo valissa? are you " Valissa" I'm fine... suddenly the hawk walked over to her looking up at her curiously, valissa only picked up with both hands well its what you wanted right?" Jet" well...yeah but- ( OooOOOoooooohhhhhhaaaaa) Everyone" !?



suddenly outside the building multiple husks were ravaging the building



Valissa" we need to leave now " Wave" how!? we have to get all the way back to the entrance " Valissa" not really jsut keep the door blocked for a minute as she started forming energy circles around her Jet" you heard her storm block the door" Storm" Got it! Jet" Wave grab what you can " Wave" don't have to say that twice! " Valissa" $#@$^&#$% #$%# ^ #%$% ^#$ #$..! " suddenly the hawk responded to her and it flew over to wave as suddenly it broke apart into a dozen pieces and reformed itself around her like armor Wave" what the!?" Storm" These things are pusher then I expected ><! ( Wham!) o o suddenly with one hand wave wasable to hold the door back Wave" you got the bigger hands you can carry the most stuff! I got the door she smirked as storm nodded Jet" any time now valissa? " Valissa" almost..... suddenly the rings for created formed a blue warp ring that led back to angel island its Ready lets go!! Jet" Lets fly!!



with in seconds they rushed for the portal al lof them leaping through it one after the other while in the same span of time the husk flooded the room like a wave but luckily the portal shut before they made it in and on the other side the 4 of them landed by the river where they started



Storm" I don't think we cut it that close since the rock slide of death wall peak DX " ( Shooommm!) suddenly the hawk separated itself from her as it flew around them Jet" are they stuck back there or should we- " Valissa" the portal I made keeps them from following we shoudl be safe I hope you got what you needed cause there no going back there " Jet" heh well thank I- (Vosh!) ....guess... o o "

Pyro" visit with your dad then he trys to put the blame on you how horrible DX* holding her tightly* Valissa" .....its not like hes not wrong, but I don't regret it " Pyro" still " Terra" he should have been happy to see you, usually in stories parents are happy to see there kids when they ran away" Valissa" eheh you think so right?" Talon" what about the rest of the place did you see anyone else?" Valissa" shaking her head no its wasteland like I knew it would be, the only reason I even went was because of those treasure hunters, and I wasn't going ot risk something getting out taking a deep breathe as she relaxed on the couch

Note" kathy, I need some help, please, its regarding a possible family meeting ;w; "





a bit later



Far in kathy's future

the four of them gathered around the coffee table in the living room as valisssa talked about a possible meeting



Elisa" a meeting with your adopted parents? that should be no problem dear~ " Leo" I... did not expect ohear you were adopted personally crossing his arms slightly Valissa" personally I was expecting to come off to you all as an orphan but God had other plans it seems " Kathy" don't say that nudging her plus you still have your brother and sister ;w; " Valissa" hmm" Elisa" oh my how hold are they?" Valissa" there like between 10 and 11 " Leo" oh there around keen's age, Elisa" then he would have some friends to play with ^w^ " Valissa" mhm.. " Leo " you've been rather hush about your history this might be the first time you brought up anything personal " Valissa" well , you l ready can guess I'm not very open about that stuff and history, well what is there to talk about when your kind are egotists that feel everyone is beneath you " Elisa" a race of shapeshifters from the twilight zone it would exaplin a lot > > Valissa" ....( and me being the reason there all dead, because A) I hated them, and B) I didn't want them to invade here and enslave everyone they didn't see as worthy ) suddenly tears well in her eyes as she held her head..." Leo" walking up to her as he placed her hand on her shoulder what's done is done, and you did what you had to do " Valissa" as she tried not to get emotional again taking deep breathe... "



Elisa" have you asked genesis about the meeting yet?" Valissa" not yet things happened so far bring int it your attention ended up happening first Elisa" oh, well I was thinking maybe we would take the time to visit them?" Leo' what instead of them coming here?" Elisa" if there willing of course. I thought its been a while since we've been out of the house leo and we could finally be like kathy and travel the realms a bit"



Valissa" your know your daughter is felon for all the dimensional hopping she does" Kathy" Coughing a-anyway my crisscrossing to help my friends and family aside i t could be an idea though >w> " Leo" what about the house? I don't want to leave kay in charge on his own" Elisa" hes a big boy he can handle a few houses on his own " Kathy" plus I could stay ^^ " Leo' you do plenty on your own kathy " Kathy" hmmm... " Genesis" personally father some change of scenery might do you well"

as genesis entered the room



Valissa" oh genesis I didn't hear you come in " Genesis" I only just returned from the gosssamer trials I was one of the judges of the lieutenants" Kathy" wait a minutes is that for the legion stuff " Genesis" yes a stand in was needed and I was requested to fill in seeing my skills are on pair with fathers" Leo" ( such a model son of mine proud tears ) Valissa" well I see you over heard a lot" Genesis" yes and meeting families is part of the discussion so maybe letting leo and elisa go beyond the realms fora bit might not be such a out there idea " Leo" well still my main concern would be kay on his own " Elisa" me and kathy can give hi ma task list and I trust he will be okay ^^ and genesis does have a point love, you spend much of your time in your study, training or having that purple feline in your face when no ones looking " Leo" Ahem > >;; " Kathy" busted X'D " Elisa" plus it will be fun for keen as well , Leo" sigh alright I suppose I'm out number in terms of votes and it is only for a few hours anyway " Kathy" yay~ maybe you can slice and give tips and tricks XD " Leo" we shall see , but fact remains will they be alright with hosting" Valissa" they were fine with either or so dinner plans will be on the horizon " Elisa" oh this will be so much fun I can finally take out that islander dress I've had collecting dust " Elisa" and seeing will be in the base I suppose collecting some fine "relics" wouldn't be out if the question > >"



Kathy" yay~ and in the mean time I can go talk to kay and explain that he'll be the man of the house X3 ohh a rights of passage for our water boy ~ " Valissa" hmmm.. " suddenly genesis sat down besides her " Genesis" are you feeling well " Valissa" jsut trying to swallow and leave some stuff behind me is all " Genesis" holds her hand you know I am here if you wish to talk " Valissa" I know but I hate getting emotional " Genesis" I like seeing you emotional, sometimes I feel like I not emotional enough" Valissa" don't say that, your my stoic angel and I wouldn't want to see you break, the whole world might crack under your weight kisses him lovingly <3 Genesis" - - holding her close to him thank you~ " Valissa" hehe well time to play plans~ "
