following killer back home



(Vosshh)



Killer" O h oh ohoh yes Yes~! finally! ohI cannot wait for this my Christmas is coming early~ rubbing his hand gleefully , as she walked from her basement I can finally have alittle back hand revenge against those stupid know-it-alls, or the ones too stupid to understand my basic concepts of morality , or- " Mandarin ' you seem happier then normal" as he walked by Killer" ohh I guess I couldn't hide it like I normally do, just little school event thats going to take place soon " Mandarin" ahh right adn your the teacher , but wasn't your class replaced this year?" Killer" switch out, not replaced, get it straight anyway, regardless its going to be like a scary candy hunt, for the kids, I'm sure too sure for all the details yet, but I know what I'm going to have for them , and I'll make sure to have all the best candy " Mandarin" careful if your too scary they won't bother going for it T T " Killer" ohh the kids love to be scared I doubt I won't have any takers " Mandarin" if you showed up as your real self I'm sure you get one taker then everyone else will scatter " Killer" well I never said I was" Mandarin" well who exactly are you going to go as , if your handicapping yourself with a costume " Killer" I -.... > > too be fair what should I go as?* crossing her arms* I was thinking the evil spirit angle but my appearance is the picture. at first I thought of my OG outfit back when I was still young sprawling snapping her fingers she changed into what looked like a a cloth strap about her top and a skirt like matching , her chains chains hanging out of her arms and her scythe in hand , with her scars looking more messier then they do now



Killer" alittle additions can't hurt putting veil over her head hiding hr face with some added mist effects as she had purple fire hover around her oh yes Ican go with this , this makes me look so much younger~ " Mandarin" keep in mind your keket and last I check keket can't fly" Keket" I can fake it with some air gear be creative XP " Mandarin" and on top of that, I don't think your volley balls are exactly kid friendly enough for the get up, " Killer" well luckily I'm aiming for the older kids and second at least I know what I can do if I want to scare the parents flashing mandarin for a moment Mandarin" Gak! ..." Killer" ahaha ha tll me how many of them would consider if I really went all out with my toys out as well she laughed Mandarin" I don't think the e that damn desperate " Killer" oh you'd be surprised if you wave a sweet enough carrot in there faces "



Hexvail" if your sharing your magic I'd like some please! " Killer" (Snap) returning to her normal attire nothing I'm sharing hexvail and you got your little gift not long ago" Hexvail" I mean in the other departments, if mandarin is getting snaps of you I need to catch up" Mandarin" !? She. Flashed,. Me! okay I'm not looking for it!" Hexvail" doesn't mean you wouldn't like it >lP " Mandarin" I ...*groans* I could care less okay" Hexvail" then why so emotional huh? if it means nothing " Mandarin" women I swear to gaia... " Killer" if you both are going to have a couple spat do it when I'm not around, and speaking off shouldn't you be off with the others searching for the gate post like I asked" Hexvail" its not exactly easy, we took a break cause turned up empty all week DX we only have one more place we can check but we had to wait for the squads to leave first " Killer" that is? "



Melantha" the abandoned garden "* melantha came in with a small backpack as she packing a few things" Killer" abandoned?" Melantha" since the landscape has been warped over the centeries , we have some idea hat maybe it ended up intone of the old chao gardens " Rabbi" so we're jsut packing a few supplies and will be on our way " Killer" why?" Rabbi" cause you can never know if you'll need something for survival " Killer" T T no, I mean why are you bringing a backpack? purge can easily carry anything you need' Melantha" yeah hes getting tired to holding all my extra stuff " Purge" if I can't eat it, I don't want it " Killer" hmm T T " Hexvail" I swear finding a stupid goal post shouldn't be this hard " Mandarin" find it is the easy part getting it will be the challenge" Rabbi" what it that we just have to take it out the ground?" Mandarin" according to history , red rng posts aren't just in the ground at random they are magnetized to the zone itself , prying it from the surface will be like un lodging a cinder block crossing his arms Rabbi" I'll get the jackhammer~ " Killer" ( a jack hammer for a jack rabbit , how poetic ) just remember I want this done swiftly, if you need help at any point just call me Hexvail" I'm sure will be fine~ no worries and will be back before dinner time l3 " Rabbi" and away we go~ as rabbi came back quickly with a small jack hammer in hand , melantha quickly opened a portal as the four of them all went through it



Killer' ( I know its a tad late to be concerned about the light hunters but they really should bother them, nor should I have any concerns about oletta but.. sigh* I guess the motherly concerns are taking over) >< they will be fine, itjssut sicking I have to concern myself with this self proclaimed angels,,, !? maybe I could dress up ans angel that would be a nice juxtapose for the others "



moving along we return to angel island on the inner areas of the zones , it looks like a mess of mushroom hill cross with the open rocky terrain of the hidden caves, dried up lakes were only seen ad the four of the arrived the place looked deserted

Hexvail" geez abandoned is right :/ " Rabbi" so if was a gol post where would I put it " Melantha" on a dislodged piece of rock hanging over a tried up lake? Mandarin' that' s specific " Melantha" yeah cause look "



in the distance it was just as she described the red ring post was in the ground of the patch of land that seems to have came from some where else

Hexvail" no wonder no one would find it , it was a goal post from another zone that got taken to a different zone itself , Mandarin" and if the post here was already found, no one would bother checking it a second time " Rabbi" and to think we have been looking all week for this thing DX " Melantha" I know right.. * as melantha warped to the goal ring , she grabbed it by the rod itself then using her crystals embedding them underneath to break it from the ground itself it wasn't budging* sigh ... suddenly she kicked it then it suddenly reacted to her energy and as the ring started to vibrate it repelled her off the platform back to the others* ( Thug!) Hexvail" o o maybe we should just take the whole piece of land" Melantha" Grrrrr!! snapping her fingers as her shadow soldiers appeared North! East! South! pointing to the post commanding them to get it out but the more they were forcing it out the more something was off with the area around them Mandarin" is anyone else getting a weird feeling all of a sudden? " Rabbi" maybe too much negative energy i s keeping it lodged in its place or the fact its not in its correct location is making it stay in place" Melantha" we're gonna be moving it anyway so it shouldn't make a difference T T " Hexvail" alright kids let the adults have a swing at it as hexvail leap up to the post as she showed the soldiers off , she rubbed her hands together , cracking her knuckles, then letting her demon form take over don't force it out let it come out on its on, let it be instinctual like riding a bike! as she grabbed on to the post suddenly with enough force she was able to tilt it out of the ground Ah! I got it! ( VurrrrrrRRRrrRRRRRR) o o;; suddenly dark energy was reacting to it and a burst of power was let out blasting hexvail away , mandarin quickly responded and caught her asshe flew through the air



Mandarin" well congrats we got it out of the ground somewhat " as purple energy was sprouting from it like jolts of electricity Rabbi" my turn! grabbing his jack hammer as she made his way to the post but as he looked in the ground uhhh do goal posts usually have crystals stuck to them underground " ( oooohhhhhhh Errrrrrrrrr rooaohhhhhhhh ) suddenly from under ground zombie chao were climbing up Hexvail" what in the seven circles of hell is this!? " Purge" I knew I wasn't wrong I smelled rotting flesh when hexvail at her swing at it " Melantha" zombies?? " Mandarin" think of your mother but without a brain' Melantha" oh..hey! my mom is not a zombie! " Mandarin" she can't be killed, she had open a patch on her skin for her chains and she eats people" Melantha" >w> well.. " Rabbi" well the proof is in the pudding" Melantha" hush rabbi if shes a zombie what does that make me! I'm not a zombie!" Rabbi" well a corpse , a hollow, a husk, undead " Hexvail" you know everyone this is very engaging and all but can we keep in mind we have dead animals upon us ! DX Melantha" summons more soldiers Attack!







the longer things progressed the more of the undead started to be called forth, to the point evne mandarin had to help fight them off



Hexvail" hey Rabbi hows it looking?? things are getting little busy down here! " Rabbi" yeah um.. funny story about that, I un lodged it minutes ago but this black crystal refuses to let go " as the post was laying on the ground there was dark purple crystal that was attached to the bottom of the pole as energy was emitting from it the closer rabbi tried to touch it he would repel him with a jolt of energy



Melantha" can you find a way to get it off? Rabbi" I really only have one idea but I doubt it will work as planned" Hexvail" at this point try anything every time we kill 5 down here 15 take there place! Rabbi" .. well summoning his guns to his hand as he smiled killer, take the wheel! with that said rabbi quickly open fired on the crystal as his shots simply bounced off it but eventually the crystal began to crack



( Bite) Hexvail" Aghhh...! Get! OFF ME! prying of the dead chao off her arm before blasting it with an energy burst Melantha" everyone duck down! as melantha rush in teleported into the crowd itself as they all turned towards her, she brought out her chain mace and with the burst to start she start spinning around letting the mace hit any and all with in its reach and with each hit her crystals infected the area scattering her presence all over the place then with her dark crystals everywhere she transformed into abyss and dropping on one hand



Abyss" Fall into the abyss!! suddenly his power spread out and all the zombies caught in it were sucked in like quick sand

Abyss" pant = = Hexvail" talk about a clean sweep she smirked Mandarin" lets hope that the last of them rabbi how its looking?.... rabbi?" abyss leaped onto the platform to check on him Melantha" r-rabbi?" ( BASH!) suddenly melantha was sent flying off the platform (Thug!) catching everyone attention, rabbi came hovering off the platform as the same energy was emitting from his body as his eyes were glowing from a light purple energy* Hexvail" rabbi??!" as rabbi looked out of his own control he turned towards hexvail and raising his hand he unleashed a energy blast

Rabbi" #@#$...%%#%#@$ @$@# %$%! suddenly he had energy emitting form his hands as he attacked everyone " Mandarin" come on rabbi snap out of it! using one of his chains to grab on to his leg and slam him to the ground , as he struggled he kept speaking in a ancient tongue

Rabbi" Grrr!! " Hexvail" come on rabbi snap out of it , did that crystal do something to him??" Mandarin" might have but what are we suppose to do " Abyss" give him to us! suddenly multiple tendrils came from abyss as she grabbed onto rabbi and in a wave engulfing him completely Hexvail" I THOUGHT YOU GONNA HELP HIM! NOT EAT HIM! DX "



Abyss" ................." Hexvail" melantha..! Mandarin putting his hand up* lets let melantha cook obivously theres something here we don't know " Hexvail" "



with in there body a black void was only seen as rabbi was hovering in a dark void with purges presence swarming around him , as continued to struggle but in that moment melantha appeared in front of him as she placed her head against his AS she entered his mind there the real threat was found a energy spirit looking around wondering why it was losing control as a manifestation of melantha appeared in front of it*

Dark Gaia Spirit" growls " Melantha" always remember there are bigger fish in the sea at the moment her entire spirit turned into a giant face and ate the spirit whole ( Chomp)



zooming back out to the outside, abyss let go of rabbi as she placed him down he seemed to be back to normal

Hexvail" rabbi, mobius to rabbi, you with me as she lifted him up Rabbi" ,, h- huh,, what happened... I.. I shattered the control then suddenly everything went blank DX " Mandarin" you were speaking in some ancient tongue and you attacked us " hail the dark one , none shall escape or some junk like that " Mandarin" more from dark and light gaia dualitys, melantha how you holding up what did you do" Melantha" ...something I am immediately regretting... as she dropped to her knees in her true appearance suddenly heavily started to vomit a black mass ( Ugaghhhh Oogghhhhaaaa!)! coughing Wheeez Panting heavily (GAAaghhh!!) suddenly in the mass she vomited up this black chunk all at once



after a few seconds suddenly the black mass opened up showing a green eyeball with tendrils like some kind of creature Hexvail" what did you give birth or something?!" in second the creature trys to scurry off but quickly rabbi took his gun and shot it killing it in a second Rabbi" no child of ours that's for sure " Melantha" that wasn't fun...* as mandarin helped her back on her feet* Mandarin" let me guess it was dark gaia spirit? Melantha" uh huh.... he took control of rabbi so I took it over making it a part of me , but my body rejected it and decided to get rid of it " Hexvail" and it couldn't have done it in any other way?" Melantha" I wish it would have " Rabbi" hugs melantha tightly my heroine~! kisses her Melantha" = =;; " Hexvail" what about the post?" as both mandarin and hex check it out and it was all intact and separate from the ground

Mandarin " looks like we scored" Hexvail" and no more zombies so how about we get home before anything else happens " Melantha" yes please, I need to lie down " Mandarin" luckily two of us can open a portal as eh just did as they all took there leave



meanwhile in the distance beyond the ridge the watcher saw them leave with the goal post



back home



castle lobby

Rabbi" we're back" Starline" and judging from post I trust it was successful? " Hexvail"yeah we jsut had to fight up a horde of zombie chao , rabbi got possessed, and melantha had to puke out a dark gaia spirit but yeah it all worked out~ " Starline" well I suppose I shouldn't make your efforts go to waste as she took the red ring post Grr.. this is ..heavier then it looks ><" Rabbi' how about a warm heart that will get the bad taste out your mouth~" Mandarin" heheh..*chucking to himself*" Melantha" I know what your thinking, I'm not a zombie, shut up! she said in a sickly tone Rabbi" I see you more as a spirit that feasts on the living a uhhh... there was word for it ,,, a Yorkshire?" Hexvail" thats a dog breed rabbi " Starline" your talking about a Yokai you don't hear much of that around these times, your not as uncultured as I believed " Rabbi" hey give me some credit " Starline" believe me , I try " Mandarin" I'll give the good word to your mother, for now everyone try to take it easy as he headed off Melantha" I'll tell take up that offer though " Rabbi" my little yokai~ " Melantha" don't call me that please = =; "





A bit later in starline's lab*



Jinx" so killer wants you to modify the special gate to access all of the other portals for each chaos emerald? " Starline" that is the idea yes " Jinx" is that even possible?" Starline" well love, I'm hard pressed to deny the possibility of anything at this point, now the difficulty of completing said task is another story, however if what killer says is correct and mogul can assist in this process then maybe we can make a gate that serves as a one size fits all as they say" Jinx" well the best of luck to you. as for me mephlies seems to has assigned me as the families appointment setter " Starline" you mean his secretory " Jinx" don't you jsut love playing on words don't you love it " Starline" don't get me started during the first few months I've dealt with killer... "

flashback

Killer" oh needs not a prisoner hes jsut a pet that can never leave his room" / Killer" hes fine, as long as he don't make me angry " / what? as long as I'm entertained he gets to live , what can I use a mutated duck for"

end



Starline"........" Jinx" she refused to call you a platypus doesn't she?" Starline" groans adn to think when she had a child I expected nothing but a spawn of satin itself but instead.. I become an adopted uncle.." Jinx" what was the first thing she ever said to you" Starline" &chuckles a bit to himself* "how do ducks have teeth" ...ehhe that is what stuck out to her x'D Jinx" eheheh well shes not wrong XD " Starline" speaking of how is she recovering" Jinx" two hearts and bowl of cereal later shes relaxing right now but over all shes seems to be just fine , meanwhile killer is debuting what costume she will wear for the academy candy hunt" Starline" she should go as herself, shes already scary enough " Jinx" you shouldn't say such things, even if it is true > >; " Starline" my point still- (Kasshh!) Thwang!) suddenly a piece of the metal came off the post showing a bit of the inner core as it began to radiate energy* ...I see now thats makes sense rubbing his chin

Jinx" what is it?"



Starline" the 7 zones, 7 emeralds, 7 posts it all adds together, each post literally runs on the energy given to it by that specific emerald thats how its able to teleport you to the special zone for that emerald, so inorder to make it a one size fits all I need a energy core that consists of all the eemralds '" Jinx" wouldn't that count as the master emerald?" Starline" yes or the chaos proclaimed God himself mogul " Jinx" I'll go let killer know ^^ ( Vosh!) ..!? h-huh!? without even realizing it she teleported herself to the dinning room Jinx" wha?! how!? " running into hexvail Hexvail" how'd you get up here I think you in the lab" Jinx" I was! and then I said oh I'm going to tell killer what you found out and then I'm here!? maybe killer heard me and she just helped me come the short way > >;; " Killer" actually isalittle different that kitty "



as killer walked into the room dressed in a highly custom designed witched gown with markings and laced spell chants across the torso and sleeves with a third eye on the hat that moves



Hexvail" what? she can teleport herself now xD Killer" actually yes" Hexvail&Jinx" Ehh!?" Killer" remember that upgrade I got from mogul, and this lovely new staff~ my power increased and spread out among everyone including you since I have your heart, so the little I gave you increased by default so now you should be able to warp yourself a good distance if you choose to " Jinx" huh...owo,, okay.. the fish mark it would be good- ( Vosh!) " Hexvail" you should did that on purpose didn't you " Killer" and you could tell~ gold star l3 & teleports her back* Jinx" oh my goes I can oh this will cut down on so much walking XD " Killer" careful dear you'll need to practice so you don't wind up somewhere unexpected " Jinx" eheh well I'm sure you'll have some tips I can follow " Killer" hex can teach you" jinx" huh?" Hexvail" me??" Killer" I'm going to be little busy plus I need to find a good costume so should do the witch or maybe the she devil" Hexveil" ....why not something unexpected... everyone knows our a the queen of darkness, why not become the embodiment of everything sweet and then switch up fooling everyone like a fail sense of security kind of thing~ " Killer"....owo... you know what you actually gave me a brilliant idea, here's a gift~ snapping her fingers then suddenly hex flashed with energy Hexvail" what... what do you do o o " Killer" call it mothers gift when you transform Hexvail" okay~ changes forms and straight after killer gave her a mirror and hexvail was given he same demonic set of teeth as her* " Killer" our gonna represent me, you need to look a part from me" Hexvail" ;w; " Killer" don't forget to floss now " Jinx" ^w^ ( what the hell is this family !!?) "





* meanwhile back at the academy, the idea was announced and thats kids were all immediately onboard even teachers even go in the mix of how to make it truly a game for the kids to encourage cooperation and team work "



teachers hall

Darkfire" so your saying each class room will be its own level in a way and the teacher will be dressed up as a wondering monster for that room" Kathy" yes, so for example kaspian will have the training field outside since his classes mainly are outside plus a demonic beast hovering the air will be amazing" Kaspian" great I can be vulture and swoop down and take up the children as my prey " Jackson" that totally didn't sound wrong in the slightest " Majestica " well my chemistry class I think I could spice up with some mixtures I have crossing her arms " Kathy" will give you the freedom to hide the candy however you like , just don't be too hard, " Keket" next horror level will be enacted by there grade level obviously the youngest ones are going to have a bit of s mystery mansion sort of vibe " Jackson" don't want the young ones freaking out putting on a ghost blanket me and the other staff will act as a giant herd of ghosts that rush the halls and they only can avoid us through entering the rooms XD " Cleva" forcing them in our domains l3 "



Staff" and what if someone gets hurt during a raid?" Kathy" well then my squads will run in as kathy introduced a group of black cats from her cat village on angel island if someone is too stunned or unable to go on or cries for help, they will rush in grab them and send them out the door safely ^w^ " Cleva" bathrooms will be considered "safe zones" even though I know some wanted to do haunted stalls " ( or the monster in the mirror ) "



Keket" now then , once al lthe babies have had there fun, then the real nightmare begins~ the older kids will be split in two groups of 4, you'll have to work together to stay alive together, anyone caught alone wil lbe picked off obviously " Darkfire" ( you say that so happily) " Keket" and security camera's will be used like a TV viewing for everyone outside to watch the even live. if you get caught your loot you end up dropping when your tossed out but, that was the first idea but this school is rather big, so to avoid kids speed running to there last location to get there stuff before someone else... > >" Kathy" I thought of a three live system if your last location was safe zone and if your caught you''ll be tossed back in that room and you'll have to wait 3 minutes before going back in , Hurricane" you know some kids will try to bend the rules what about them?" Keket" any thing malicious being done my babies will sniff them out as she ground out the kathy's hell hounds " Jackson" you thought of everything, what about you keket whats your room going to be? casue your class was replaced by the dragon history course" Keket" my room will be the basement which will bea surprise everyone when its open~ X3 except the youngest ones are not allowed crossing her arms* Flare" so with the majority if the rules and systems in place each of you will explain this ot your classes and if some wish to help with he decorations and events have to sign a form to be put down as voluntary staff goblins and with that being said lets make this hunting hunt something to remember~ "



wiht that explanation down soon the kids were all given the same run down



back at the sastle

Aqua" I honestly am terrified of what keket will do" Sky" your always on edge abut killer more then even nova is which I find little funny " Aqua" maybe I have a stronger aura sense then you but every time shes in the same room I feel like I have sandbags on my shoulders , the second I look away she'll do something > > " Sky" she can smell fear and that gets her gears going" Aqua" given the fact shes keeping her room which will be the basement a secret from everyone even the staff , does not help DX " Nova" well she'll have good candy hordes for everyone then~ Aqua" I'll buy the candy first XP " Nova" killer won't hurt the kids kathy wouldn't allow it " Aqua " she didn't say anything about being hurt emotionally " Sky" heh but in all fairness I heard one of kathy's rooms will be a forest toy room with living toys to me thats scary " Nova" dad anything with haunting vengeful spirits bothers you " Aqua" ironic because we technically would qualify as such since we take over peoples bodies if need be " Sky" 9 9; look instead of battering whos scared of what, does anyone know what there dress up as ?" Aqua" twilight is helping make a costume , something that will go with my scythe~ " Nova" <w< I wanted to do a couple costume with niyako so we decided on a knight and princess. I know the kids are gonna tease me for it " Aqua" its only kiara your worried about teasing you " Nova" < < " Aqua" look stop reacting so strongly and they will leave you alone about it, Nova" I'm jsut tired of being called a horn ball... " Aqua" well you are and honestly niyako indulging you too much" Nova" ;w; " Aqua" but thats between you two and as long as your happy who cares , at least you found your mate early I'm sitting here still in search " Sky" don't swear it aqua you won't find them they will find you and in the most expected places , remember i told you about me and blaze" Aqua" yeah you both fought and she put your ass in the ground and you got a hard on" Nova" Pfffttt! " as nova and some of the maids that over heard laughed at the idea



Sky" ...* deep breathe your lucky your my sister T T " Aqua" well I better go before the vengeful spirit decided to haunt me she chuckled as she left Sky" * groans " Nova" what you going to dress up as , I mean if you wanted?" Sky" hmmm I haven't given it much thought , I'm sure I'll think of something , maybe > >" Nova" well no pressure , I wonder what the others will be" Sky" well will see soon enough I'm sure xD "





some time after



nova and niyako were going over there costumes



nova was dressed up in a classic princess dress draped to hrw floor long sleeves and a pointed hat with a vale on the end, mean while niyako was in a classic silver armored knight



Niyako" shall I accompany you tonight to my-lady " Nova" eheh yes thy may XD" Niyako" taking the helmet off seriously though all this getup is a bit clunky " Nova" thats how it was back in old times , I can't really say I'm all for the the standard formal appraisal myself, " Niyako" maybe we could ask kathy to help modernize it a little mt to make more comfortable " Nova" I'm sure she'll have some idea > > , and if not we can always do something else like... " Niyako" no you were really set on this idea we can just make it more unique in our own way, I even had outfits that match something back from my home even , you don't have to give up on it :/ " Nova" hehe your right , sorry & her ears lowered as she turned back towards the mirror*

Niyako" you know nova, I've noticed this for a while now but why are you so bothered by your image, at least from your friends " Nova" sigh I know... I know I'm always little uptight when it comes to kiara or sometimes.. the others * as she sat down on the edge of her bed" Niyako" but why? you weren't like this when I met " Nova" ... personally I think it was when my dad started easing me into joining meetings and discussions just helping me get more involved in the work side of things, not that I had to do anything but just so I'm comfortible in that environment, my biggest moment was when I made a suggestion to the general of what we could do for the dragon core pirates, I think and i felt proud of myself but still its alot of pressure... "



niyako sat down beside her holding her hand



Niyako"well that was good right?" Nova" yeah but suddenly the more i went the more I started taking in our others in my work space saw me, how I carried myself, like I needed to appear as well a noble in a way, and one day I suddenly got it, why mom always looked serious all the time, its not cause shes stoic from her work its so she appears professional in front of her guards and the others, being the highest in rank its a image we up hold and looking at me.. well I dont' think I've been that " Niyako" fi-fi... brushing her cheek I know the feeling its stressful but I think your parents have made it clear you only have ot be you, your not trying to come off as anything else, and everyone around here knows who you are, how powerful you are and when you get serious, no one fucks around with you. you have made that message abundantly clear. Nova" well for the workers yes but then there kiara, rubbing hr head again this is one thing I will give her, she is younger then me and yet I act like the youngest, shes more mature, I shouldn't be such a baby , I j should just drop it and get serious jumping to her feet as she balled her fist trying to keep a stern expression" Niyako".......... " Nova" the coldness quickly melted away as she she signed* Niyako" you shouldn't have to be like that 24/7 but I think your missing a important factor here" Nova" that is " Niyako" when you saw your dad getting handled by that demon, a few minutes before you were this soft love-able and jsut exploring the means of the demon castle then after , you switched gears so fast, I was looking at two different people, when you have to preform nova you can do it you should worry less about the fluff, because when the chips are down you show up and that's why no matter what you do, how you act, people see the softness and now that softness isn't to be messed with, her or her family holding her hands tightly



Nova" hmm thanks niyako she smiled softly nuzzling his cheek Niyako" wrapping his arms round her tightly so lets make sure our costume is the best it can be for us ^^ " Nova" heh alright xD "



while everyone was preparing there costumes for the event things were going on else where thanks to melantha



back in killers castle melantha was sitting in her room as she had a energy sphere herself that was a portal and through it she was watching zavok from sugar's mobius



Purge" are you sure you want to do this now? you still have to get your costume ready " Melantha" it wont' be that hard making a dark mage costume I'm sure everyone from the T&V group will love it " Purge" sometimes I sense lenard doesn't approve our methods " Melantha" hes just mad I get good rolls most of the time , but lets not lose focus I said I would give zavok a task and its been long enough he should have gotten adjusted to the new power at this point"



through the portal zavok was sitting to himself in his main chamber trying to meditate,



Melantha" zavok, zavok!" suddenly with in his mind her heard melantha's voice* Zavok" Princess melantha?" Melantha" hey you remember how to address me yay gold star~ so how have you been adjusting?" Zavok" it has been... interesting to say the least , this voice I have in my head is this par for the course " Melantha" that voice you hear, its a part of purge think of it as a piece of him wiht my energy that gives it a voice " Zavok" that much I think I noticed, but overall things have not been too bad, I've had suddenly changes and my power had gone up in small ways , my senses are- Melantha" yes yes~ your improving and I'm happy to hear that, sorry I'm jsut ona tight schedule right now, but I am hear to give you your first task and you'll be one step closer to growing to the dark king you wish to be" Zavok" -w- ... alright what do I need to do " Melantha" find yourself a strong opponent be it known or unknown and one you defeat them, eat his heart " Zavok" !? eat there heart? Melantha" yes , is there a problem?" Zavok" well... sigh no I will just have to play my cards right now ot draw attention" Melantha" you have plenty of disposable bastards just pick one~ once you had your first meal the next step will begin~ good luck"



Zavok" she makes it sound so easy " ???" of course it will be easy for us, I'll help you sniff out a nice piece of meat! " Zavok" I don't need your help" ???" apparently you do~ "



as melantha watched

Melantha" .... I'm turning more into my mom if I'm actually seeing here monitoring other dimensions like this " ( knock knock!) come in " rabbi came in carried some make shift garments melantha could use to her costume " Rabbi" I wasn't sure if you want the pointed hat or not " Melantha" this will work" Rabbi" so what show is this we're watching?" Melantha" heh, its called my minions first meal " Rabbi" oh I hope I didn't miss the good stuff , " Melantha" no its just started as she grabbed the witches hat as he let purge engulf it as his tail spread around it like a spire* now thats scary l3 "



meanwhile back with zavok he was inside a terminal looking over a map of mobius



Zavok" ( sugar's reputation is growing vastly I know I am not part of the ewuation publicly but I do keep things quiet on my head at least for now, but stirring up trouble in someoen would die and a high profile person at that would be an issue... unless- suddenly a a new region appeared on the map for him over the ocean, Ocean Surf Zone Zavok" computer define the Ocean surf zone" Computer" Ocean surf zone is far north of the planets continent, a underwater city reaching 1200 meters deep , it is control by the leadership of general Quake and his daughter Echo dolphins resident of the city, as for public relations there appears to be very little seeing they keep to themselves however due to forms of pollution effecting the sea , Quake often has made statements of starting war with the land dwellers, however Echo trys to petition more of a peaceful solution , this information has been dated 5 years ago, no new info has been recorded "

Zavok" looks like I found my lamb he smirked prepared the Zeti diver time for a trip under the sea "





with zavok still making his plans the others zeti were feeling alittle outside the circle , too much this time.

Zazz" what?! what do you mean hes just outright leaving for a personalized mission " Zeena " thats all he says, first hes been silent the last couple of days saying stuff like he hasn't been feeling like himself and now all of a suddenly hes going off " Zazz" I say hes hiding something " Zor" even if hes hiding something, what difference does it make, we still are enacting the persona of work working with sugar anyway, so our hands are tied.. " Zeena" um yeah , thats my biggest question we've been playing pretend for the longest time now , and when do we make our move, sure, a quiet take over is in order but right now it still feels like sugar is holding all the cards and we listen to her " Zazz" crossing his arms... ( but the whole idea was for us to have a nicer image and quietly take over in a way no one would notice, that "was" the idea and to slowly take the power from sugar or at least kill her off, but zuzu even feels thats a bit of a stretch... we both know how powerful sugar is, could she really end us at any time, and even if red got the hots for her the situation doesn't change... ) - - " Zeena" I think that settles it, either we finally make our move with or with out him" Zazz" hang on now green, zavok took alot to time to get in good graces with sugar , you don't want to rock that boat too easily" Zeena" I know that, but we are better then all of them we don't take orders we give them , sure the people may have a lighter image of us but lets be real whither they liked us or not we were still going to make them all lick our boots "



Zazz" heheheh... I love the fact you want to all of a sudden be fucking independent when you've kept your mouth shut all through out the election cycle and you were her nice little HR manager " Zor" I heard she exploded for zom zom using up most of the financial budget " Zeena" look, it was for the campaign wasn't it? not like the kids didn't take advantage, and yes I know I was quiet I wanted to see where things would go, how they played out , and right now unless zavok can really convince me or even the rest of us to keep up this circus , I think its time we showed everyone why we are to be feared " Zazz" ha ha! yeah hey you remember zash? that one who tried to lead attack on us and take over, hmmm oh! thats right Sugar sliced him in halve without a second thought! what do you think she can do to us in that regard?" Zeena" eheh well thats why you work smart not hard, having a smirk on her face as she walked off



Zor" whatever she has in mind color me morbidly curious " Zazz" shes gonna end up a living pin cushion if she isn't careful, and all I'm gonna to is sit back and laugh my ass off " Zir" correct me if I'm wrong zazz but, you've been little un faithful yourself in some way or another " Zazz" the fuck you mean old man!? I'm the only one who speaks true to the damn cause! meanwhile zeena only cares about herself, zor only cares about not caring , and you tried to get a replacement for zavok that ended up being a fucking bust , your all idiots as far as I'm concerned, me? I jsut want to tear shit up, nice and fucking simple isn't it!" Zir" you gravitate towards Zuzu who is said to be seen as a adopted daughter to sugar, I'm sure if you could walk away easily you would wouldn't you " Zazz" ,,,,.." Zir" I wonder, was it the kinship she shares with your wild unruly antics or maybe you like the fact she considers you a brother mean while everyone else considers you very low on the totem pole"



zazz balled his fist as he gave him a sideeye

Zazz" don't act like you know me old men , I could kill any one of you in a second is I REALLY wanted to! and as for zuzu yeah shes fun but shes nothing to me get it , all I want is to see the world burn either by my hands or by its own from the looks of it as he stormed off " Zir" the feeling is mutual my dear boy now the real question is, who has the nerve to carry it out? "



approaching one fo the docking days zavok was on the desk about to leave as one of the robots approached him



Zavok" alert zeena and give the order all operations are to remain on hold until I return, Sugar is the only on going operation we keep in place " Robot" affirmative" Zeena" ( he IS putting sugar in charge over us! not just as a face but as in for real!? ) balling her fist ( sugar as stepping stone for us to get the chaos emeralds I know he wanted to gather them all first but thats been nothing but a joke besides 3 our of 7 is good, but is sugar has 3 and one more remains... I think we can work wiht that ) (Vurrrrmmmmmmm!) suddenly the transport vessel took off leaving the base, jsut as he was gone zeena approached the eggbot



Zeena" where was zavok going" Eggbot" zavok hada mission in ocean surf zone he should be returning with in the day if all goes as planned" Zeena" adn what plan is that?" Eggbot" that is classified " Zeena" override " Eggbot" negative" Zeena" who has clearance to override this command? Eggbot" Mayor Sugar" Zeena" O O... (SLASH!) in a question outburst as she slashed his head clean off as she stormed off ( I do not care what that zombie echidna can do she its not immortal ! and shes not stronger then us! ) but fine, fine then you want to play this game zavok whatever I honestly could not care less, because unlike zir unlike zazz or even zash God rest his dumb soul rolling her eyes I have things in motion just for the right time~ * we find zeena in a containment chamber as she opened up a window to a capsule and inside it was a stable amount of the Metal virus" all we have to do is play our cards well, at the right time~ "



meanwhile



Zavok" ....* looking at the camera footage of the docking bay as he left seeing zeena full on reaction* .... zeena , don't do something you will regret T T"





back zavok he had just reached the main city of ocean surf, the buildings were crafted with stone and reef, the buildings looked well modeled after a simplified version of housing on the surface, the truly intricate designs were in the upper levels resembling a castle at most



Zavok" ( this is going to be interesting, i don't believe I've ever set foot in this place, and if I'm going to get close to the head of this city I may have to play politics a bit )



( Dink Dink Dink Dink!) suddenly a knocking on the front of the dome was a dolphin holding a spear in hand , with a few pieces of gem stones and tribal garments

Zavok" ( no doubt this ship caught a few eyes, lets see how well I can play this ) as he made a speaker come on hello, I switch to speak an audience with your ruler Quake, is it not? the dolphin shook his head and started to communicate in sign language Zavok" ( sign language)... computer scan his moments and translate"



Computer" scanning, " no quake is not the ruler, who are you? why are you here " Zavok" the last known party to communicate with surface was quake, this was 4 years ago I am hoping to rekindle a partnership with the surface" Computer".... then follow me "



doing jsut that the dolphin lead him to the grand hall like building just square beneath the central plaza as zavok parked the vessel he dawned a suit to swim under water as he exited it and followed the dolphin inside and inside he had to dive and then come back up and inside the hall the water wasn't gone



Zavok" what??" taking his helmet off as he was able to breathe and take in the environment

??? you seem surprised " Zavok" I was not expecting to be without my helmet in this place" ???" all the buildings that are used to conduct relations with the surface are made this way, its more for business and transactional meetings such as what you were suggesting, but returning to your first question, no quake is not ruler , his daughter echo recently became in charge while he is still guiding her down the right back" Zavok" and how has that been working out " ??? " the people love echo but quake is very clingy to the act of power and in way it feel s as though he wishes to continue through her but over wall things have been well " Zavok" well I think this will benefit the both of us then as he explained



meanwhile

finding melantha and rabbit sitting on her bed watching the events playing out like a show



Rabbi" it is cool hes getting close to the sea life but the build up is a gonna be a while , this is boring DX " Melantha" its can't always be just rushing in and starting fire fight rabbi, sometimes you have to be patient , and considering he was talking to killing quake and but seeing the daughter is in charge , I wonder what will do " Rabbi" well will find out once he meets them, what about the green one I think shes gonna fuck everything up eventually, " Melantha" mom told me about that metal virus stuff , it can turn anything in to a robot or a machine, " Rabbi" eheh and thats a good thing?" Melantha" for her I guess it is, but mom said it just make everyone savage animals" Rabbi" savage animals zeena can control " Melantha" yeah will see how that works out ,



as she created a second bubble going back to zeena for rabbi to watch



returning back to the base

zeena had prepared what looked like a injection pistol with the virus compound inside it , as she got herself fulled prepped to get back to working with mayor sugar she kept it close under her work attire



Zeena" ( I know I said I wanted to make plans and working smarter not harder, but the one thing that blow hard idiot said was right, I can't just be sloppy with this, if I tried to go after anyone she would know, but if I went after someone she doesn't care about that would make it slightly easier ) * sitting at her desk tapping away* suddenly a picture of the freedom fighters on the wall caught her eye, as she zoned out looking at sonic , then a small smirk came ot her face as she picked up the phone



Zeena" ( Ringing!) ...." Tails" hello?" Zeena" hello this a zina from the mayors office, I was calling to see i f I coulc get in touch with sonic?" Tails" oh? well sonic isn't exactly hear right now, and he doesn't have a phone so its not like i could catch him , but I know where yo ucan find him mostly" umm thank you.. u huh... right .. alright thank you for your time (Click) . maybe someone else "



Amy" oh sonic has been off to who knows where, if only I could get a eye on him, why do you want to talk to him anyway..?"

Rouge" blue boy? heaven knows where he is he could be a spagoina for all I know

Vector" sonic yeah he'll turn up at some point just be on the look out you kind jsut have to work around his time"

Espio" sonic he never sit anywhere long "

several phone calls later



she slams her head on the desk

Zeena" how hard it is to find one fucking guy! I feel like I'm trying to track down a hobo! thats friends with everyone! raising her head defeated she saw the last contact on the list was whisper or lanolin Zeena" ....* groans* it be too obvious... I can't do anything DX running her fingers through her hair in frustration (Beep beep beep) * and its already lunch break... "

dragging herself to the cafe next door ordering herself a hot mocha coffee



Zeena" the only thing that calms my nerves... as she took a tip but right at that moment there was hotdog cart outside and sonic was there standing in line... Pffffttttt!! jumping from her table she rushed outside



Sonix" I'll take 2 deluxe dogs please xD " Owner" always a pleasure " Zeena" Sonic! finally I found you" Sonix" oh zina or should I say Zee-na " Zina" ha ha ha.. funny joke, listen I've been trying to get in contact with you for the last hour and such all I need is a few minutes of your time?" Sonix" listen if its about you know who I'm not interest anymore I just want to relax " Zeena" I don't like her either " Sonix"??" Zeena" just give me 5 minutes of you time there was some issues I want to to talk with you about when it comes to sugar , who knows maybe some elements to swing public perception in your favor" Sonix" let m e think about it - " Zeena" holding her credit cards chili dogs all year free! " Sonix" thats a hard bargain to pass up " Zeena" thank you, you have no idea how much this means to me~ she smirked





after grabbing themselves a outside cafe table , with sonic having a plate of chili dogs before him and zeena sitting across from him



Sonix" alright green bean, what was it you wanted to talk about " Zeena" well I wanted to give you that bomb shell earlier now instead of using it like a pleading offer to get to talk to you, but I have no positive feelings for sugar either " Sonix" uh-huh and why exactly would that be, seeing shes trying to paint all of you in a positive light " Zeena" not all of us , as you can see I'm disguised as one of you, its really herself which shes still pretends and zuzu claiming that not al l zeti are evil. which to an extent is true and I wouldn't lie even I hate my enemies I like spreading gossip that is rather juicey and "real", not tall tales taking out a pocket mirror as she reapplied her lipstick I only do that when I'm bored " Sonix" how do I know your not board now T T" Zeena" I'm give you part of my pay check from sugar to have this conversation - -; , so seeing your such a busy hedgehog I'll cut to the chase " Zeena" work with me to bring her down?" Sonix" not interested " Zeena" not even willing to consider it?" Sonix" listen I get the idea sugar isn't what most people like and its pretty funny hearing even her own circle has some objections but if something is going to be done about her , it has to be someone else . I've given it my all and pushing any further will result in things I'd rather avoid " Zeena" then let me be that front, I just need your help " Sonix" with what?" Zeena" sugar has influence thanks to her personality and her bratty kids , you have a reputation just by existing , your the only one that can match that, what we need to do is tear down her image, and you've had many conflicts with her image the headlines, the stories that could be posted" Sonix" unless I give proof who would believe them even if it was true " Zeena" true or not allegations would be plenty enough to make me question her validity , its the seeds of doubt I want to plant it doesn't matter if they grow or not , and once the hesitation sets in, you use that for the freedom fighters ti win back public opinion " Sonix"......."



flashback

Surge" oh really..heheh oh really ahaha.. then tell me this hero! a couple of days ago I was out , I heard some women talking one of them possibly looked like my mother I just had a feelings, shes was talking and laughing with a group of other women who talked about selling there children off for money , she possibly sold me off to starline ^^ to a lab rat, through a system that kept it under wraps! you talk about finding my real mother? MY MOTHER GAVE ME UP FOR A BIT OF CASH! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY TO THAT MISTER HERO!? WHAT SPEECH CAN YOU SHIT OUT FOR ME?! as tears welled in her eyes as she grit her teeth

end



Sonix" as great of an idea it sounds zeena I think it would just be more back and forth , and if she really means she can help others and the freedom fighters can i really have a place to complain at this point? Zeena" normally you would be on board, did she whip you that much? " Sonix" giving a tired glare as he turned his head Zeena" alright listen , I'm not asking for anything outlandish, jsut little help here and there and you can pretend nothing is really going on , hell it would be as if you didn't have to do anything at all xD your support alone would be plenty ^^ " Sonix" sigh alright zeena I'll give it a shot if only it would stir the waters too much" Zeena" r-really!* jumping out of her seat* I- Mean yes ^^ thank you , and its wonderful having the hero of mobius behind me , as they say, alittle support can do along way " Sonix" heh well there is some truth to that at least "



as she held out her hand to shake his , having a symbol of there agreement, as the y shook hands she grabbed him tightly pulling him towards her as she locked him intoa hug and infecting him with the syringe

Sonix" Grrr... what!?- Zeena" you really are a hero sonic, and your help will be needed <3 and I promise it would be anything too much not that you'll remember anyway Sonix" Grr.. Raahh...rahhh... as his body started to stiffen up the color in his eyes started to fade and his pupils turned black as his eyes became red as his speak became incoherent* ARghh..Grrr"



Zeena" relax act causal~ snapping her fingers, the now zombie like zombiw acting more calmly oh it is pretty sunny out you should have these on putting a pair of sun glasses on keeping his eyes out of sight of others so finish up your food and meet me at the home base at seaside " Sonix"......* sitting down as he started to eat* Zeena" oh and if anyone asks jsut say your busy with some errands for amy " patting him on the shoulder Sonic" busy errands for amy..." Zeena" perfect chef's kiss mmmwah~ your days are number sugar-dear "



returning back to melantha and rabbi



Rabbi" holy hell she actually got him DX now hes s walking bio hazard! " Melantha" things are getting spicy fro zavok can't say its any better > >;; Purge having his face in a popcorn bucket extending from melantha's neck Rabbi " can you not be a hog with the popcorn * pulling the bucket away from purge " Purge" you weren't eating any" Melantha" both of you Shh! "



returning back to zavok we appear to be in the middle of a table talk introduction between quake , echo and zavok and tension was rising gradually



Quake" so your saying sugar would be willing to negotiate on our grounds " Zavok" that is if you make it worth her while" Quake" given how much the ocean gives back I really don't see much else we should have to offer " Zavok" well I for one won't speak on her behalf, after all she has bene very prone to see things far beyond anyone around her, but I will say this, your kingdom having a chaos emerald in your possession was an unexpected surprise " Echo" it has been treated like a heirloom since we found it not long ago, Quake" now if only we could put it actual us instead of just as for show" Echo" you know there too dangerous to use or at least by the way you wish to do it " Zavok" dangerous yes but if placed in proper hands " Quake " yes proper hands indeed , but given your information you've shared maybe we can show some support if you were to allow access to your horde " Echo" dad please... " Quake" hmmm.." Zavok" I will agree its tempting but perhaps your daughter has a point the emeralds are extremely powerful and in the wrong hands your ocean can be turned upside down " Quake" I'll heard the stories even how the God chaos flooded a region from invoking his wraith " Zavok" * nodes* suddenly one of the soldiers came by to quake and whispers to him Quake" ...!? ... excuse me for a moment something needs my attention"



as h e quickly left the room echo suddenly have a sight of worry on her face



Zavok" it is personal matters?" Echo" I' m sure I know the issue, my mother came down with a sickness last month, shes been bedridden since, our doctors say its curable but what is needed, just doesn't exist, like the plant needed hasn't been seen in a very long time, if we don't find a solution soon I fear the worst..." Zavok" I'm sure with the right resources we could find a solution " Echo" I would love that , but my dad is too prideful and which to use the chaos emerald to restore her, the only problem is he doesn't even know how to use it, he wants to combine it with- Soldier" your highness, not to interject but... " Echo" right > > sorry sometimes I get on a tangent and I bring up things that should he only spoken behind closed doors " Zavok" I understand, " Echo" ......." Zavok" perhaps as a sign of good faith if we al can agree to work under the same roof I will gather to means to have your mother treated by our surface doctors " Echo" ;w; you mean that?" Zavok" you have my word putting his hand on his chest Echo" sigh now i just hope i can convince my father of your good will " Zavok" why so, I thought you were the one in charge , " Echo "yes but surface politics is under his guidence and I can't over rule that even with my ruling position " Zavok" I see " Echo" please excuse me for a moment*



echo quickly did a fast pace out of the room leaving zavok to himself



Zavok" ( shes probably going to try and convince him herself..." ???" you think she will?" Zavok" if he is anything like I've seen now... ???" we were suppose to kill him anyway " Zavok" I know... but I got too caught up in the discussion , I'll figure something out " ???" Grahh.. your too slow " Zavok" wait what are you!? ) suddenly it was as if a living shadow appeared on the floor and trailed the fall looking for the both of them



until eventually in one of the master bedrooms the shoulder slithered in the room and you could see both of them arguing as an eye emerged from the ground watching them, suddenly through one of zavok's eyes he could see them as well, just from the body language alone the father wasn't understand in compromising , shoving her to the floor pushing her aside he stormed out of the room, leaving echo alone with the mother



Zavok"....* his claws dug into the table a bit as he tried to remain composed, shortly not long after quake returned*

Quake" my apologies but i had to tend to my wife she has been ill of late" Zavok" I heard from your daughter she was rather concerned " Quake " yes we've tried many methods but things are looking rather troubling but its nothing we can't handle" Zavok" ....hmm, standing up you know I have thought over your conversation earlier, perhaps this "is something we can agree on , I only wish to discuss them in a more private setting " Quake" oh of course let me take you to my study "

as they walked the halls the shadow returned to zavok



( ??? the words were not kind , will just say that . but I'm sensing alot of venom from you whats gotten you to tightly wound up" Zavok" seeing echo I could only see zuzu when she hatched again when I found her, even though we are born differently hearing all out for killer over and over , the influence she had on her to the point her rebirth'ed form would still gravitate towards her that is something powerful " ???" well they say mothers are special " Zavok" indeed "



as they centered quakes study a small room surrounded by shelves of booked designed for the sea, the casing was that of a shell and inner was pages Zavok" your books are clams?" Quake" clames are the best protection for the paper to avoid the water" Zavok" good to know~ Quake" now then , regarding the other chaos emeralds ( Grab!) (Wham!) zavok wasted no time slamming him to the wall with his hand gripping his entire face



Zavok" let me tell you alittle something more about me , everyone around me is a pawn, everyone is a chess piece, I am a conqueror at heart , I havea warrior's spirit but even with all of that my drive is not enough, that is when I met someone worse then me, a women , with a gaze that can cut steel , teeth that will make you bleed jsut from being too close, and a aura that will kill you if you look her wrong "



Rabbi" ha! simp " Melantha" rabbi XP "



Zavok" and yet a version of her I am working with as convinced me she has a grip of power something that is hard to mimic , and its all driven by connection ,bonds , and love, something ego, control , and aggression lacks! you want to be in control of it all, you'll lose everything that way because of your short sighted antics towards your daughter and wife, "



Quake" Grrr... short sighted... women are not rulers, they never were, they are not like us they lock any drive, and manufacturing that drive only results in some twisted version of it! I do what I can for my family because I know what is best I know what is needed , and I know what she needs to do! you can not show weakness to outsiders that is the moment you lose your hand! Zavok" lets be real your greed is center stage from with me and even in the room where your wife was sick! I think I know where your priorities lie " Quake" GRr you act like you know me but you don't! , everything is for the good of our home!, you can't fret over every soul, it s just the bitter truth " Zvok" and yet your unwilling to work surface dwellers " Quake" would you ? seeing the damage done ot the ocean with your machines and toxic waste! " Zavok" those who damage the planet are our enemy as well, we work together to save it after all we all need it to survive" Quake" eheh... but we need rulers to command those to do the right thing, people won't do what the right thing is on there own" Zavok" and your more prove of that, " Quake" so what you'll kill me , think that will help my family? sounds you talk of short slightness but your no different " Zavok" i have thought of it but you are right, killing you would not help her or your wife" Quake" then what then ( Gashh!) suddenly zavok stabbed him with his claws into his chest causing him to bleed out

what.. are you ..doing... " Zavok" call it giving you the power of suggestion suddenly the dark energy given my melantha started to enter his body through his wounds



zavok then drops him as as he did the wounds slowly healed

Quake" what... what did you do to me! " Zavok" never mind the details, maybe now you should apoligize to you r daughter and then we can talk about arranging getting your wife the medical treatment she needs, and will go from there" Quake" Grrr...* suddenly energy flashed over his eyes* as his rage was stilled*...y-yes I will talk to my daughter about my reaction it was over blown" Zavok" we all make mistakes the point is we learn and grow from them "

Melantha" ahahah Yes! Yes xDD I was hoping he would have killed him but no this is even better, A+! as she clapped Rabbi" well thats one conflict over now one more to go~ "



to be con.

the following weekend evening we return to wildfire's vacation homes on one of his islands in the sol kingdom , in the living room we have alicia making popcorn and nachos with dip in the kitchen while sky was sitting on the couch with blaze watching a cooking program



TV" so with the potato flakes it felt a more solid crispy covering for the chicken while still retaining like the juices inside so this one will defiantly be a keeper " Blaze" are you seriously engaged with this?" Sky ' I know you would find it dumb but the different batters for chicken can make all the difference plus if I find the one that doesn't make the chicken soggy or less messy that will be great" Blaze" stretching and yet, we have cooks and professionals that do this for us but you are determined to do it your self XP Sky" fine is it safe to call it a hobby" Blaze" a fattening hobby " Sky" ohhhh ehhh " Alicia" no hate if he loves chunky kitty just be careful not to be chunky yourself~ " Sky" alicia please DX I'm self conscious already" Alicia" hmm~ anyway the party favors are all set for you boys and I hope you enjoy your movie night l3" Blaze" all that's left is for kathy to arrive and will be on our way. but in all seriousness I'm surprised you so casually accepted his little gathering"



Sky" well you know wildfire is being semi nicer to me so why not take advantage " Blaze" well afte the incident , I at least can give him my respects fo r being considerate" Sky" mhm... " Alicia" speaking of , are you feeling better since then her ears folded back... " Sky"yeah I'm alright you don't have to worry I've gotten better since, hes gone" Alicia" I know your big boy but still that was not good massaging his shoulders if you need anything at all just let us know Sky" alittle harder maybe -w- being the cramps coming out of his neck* Alicia" sure~ I can even go- Ow! yanking away her hand getting pricked by his quills deeper ;w;... * Sky" sorry , loose quills that can happen " Blaze" you should see our bed when starts shedding" Sky" I've gotten better at cleaning them all out " Blaze" thanks to kathys spa treatment suggestions" Alicia" (Clap) you got to the spa ;w;!? why didn't you tell us! you could come with the girls and me " Sky" I'd rather" Alicia" no I want you I know a great place good food excellent treatment and its fun for all of us "

Sky" great you got her started.. " Blaze" "



suddenly the front door opened and it was both wildfire and poison

Wildfire" I can see the stage is set for us " Sky" mhm" Alicia" and that means we're all set " Poison" kathy should be here in am minute she need to go grab cleva " Sky" cleva's going with you lot? Poison" yes, I pressed it T T" Blaze" you sound alittle annoyed " Poison" somewhat yes, because its jsut spider this spider that, all day long, my mother only encourages it and she only ever hangs out with muffet if shes not at work , I need her to have normal damn friends and get off this spider kick or I'm going to lose my shit eventually! " (.............) Wildfire" hes having a moment*smirks* " Poison" fuck you T T" Sky" well shes just happy to have someone to share her interests, I'm sure once she gets her fill she'll calm down " Poison " I hope so , I really do he sighed " Kathy' oh don't worry she will, kathy appeared at the door Poison" I don't want her to think hey I hate her interests its just" Kathy" no it perfectly fine -w-, we can all get alittle obsessive when it comes to thinks we like, I'm guilty of this when it comes to my animals " Wildfire" or babies in general " Blaze" or baking, " Sky" or gems- " Kathy" ANYWAY ^w^ before I get three new house pets , why don't we get going <3 Alicia" alright boys have fun you know where to find us kisses wildfire and poison on the cheek Blaze" nuzzles sky



and the ladies took there leave for there evening out

Sky" so what was the move this time" Wildfire " blood cursed iron " Poison" how many movies of this series did they make so far" Sky" well its an animation so if the team is passionately probably as many as they want " Wildfire" I think there reaching the 15th at this point" Sky" wow you could marathon them if you wanted " Wildfire" tsk I know right , sugarbyte keep watch outside will you"

Sugarbyte" stretches then goes out the front door Sky" so glad to see you grown to like sugarbyte"" Wildfire" well I guess its true they grow on you after a while "

as sugarbyte went outside and started ot sleep on the roof

Sugarbyte" ZZzzzz -w- "

Poison" oh by the way, this trip for kathy might be alittle more interesting , blight asked is she could go too so cleva couldn't really say no " Sky" has she gone tot he mortal realm before" Poison" no so this will be her first here and since shes gotten hers I know darkheart is going to be next to ask - - " Wildfire" I'm sure they wouldn't mind having some family bonding nothing wrong with that, and maybe coming here your brother will find some interesting business" opportunities

Poison" will you stop!" Wildfire" ahaha XD" Sky" alright you love birds , movie now please TwT "



as the movie night started





without going too far cleva suggested the blue coral restaurant with his variety of food selection

* as we arrive, it was kathy, rouge, cleva, blaze, and Blight sitting as a round table together ~ "



Rouge" you know we still could have gone to my club, I own the place I get a free admission and drinks " Blaze" we came out to relax not to party it up all night with drinks " Alicia" heh speak for yourself , some of the cocktails here are to die for~ "as she thumbed through the menu* Kathy" well I don't want to order wildly , are not going dutch?" Alicia" nahh no worries wild is paying for all of this~ " Blight" is that really okay " Alicia" if I say its okay, its okay " Blight" well in that case, I'm gonna take a look around ^w^ Blaze" well d- don't go too far , sigh she would at least order first " Alicia" she stabbed her knife and fork in what she wanted to eat " Kathy" thats one way to say I guess :/ " Blaze' -w- .. " Blaze" so cleva how is the role of becoming queen?" Cleva" its been...interesting the last couple of days > > I'm really glad soul doesn't press me on the formalities alot cause I really don't know anything, poison and I will be attending meeting that consist of angels that help keep order and everything and I'm just simplifying it I feel like I'm in a fantasy story " Rouge" more like a eldritch horror if we're dealing with angels and demons sweetie, kathy showed me the photos she took , this may use gems as its currency but I think I have my limits of where I will go " Blaze" you have limits? thats bizarre ?" Rouge" I have self respect okay, and honestly whos to say whats down there" Kathy" oh don't worry there is plenty that will leave you scarred for life ^w^ " Cleva" I hope your not talking about muffet she really wants to be friendly with you " Kathy" I'm personally talking about you trying to turn yourself into a spider and giving me a heart attack " Cleva" well... ok you "had" to come in at that exact moment I was going to take the photo I would have changed back it was just for the photo opt and funny enough I went for a very hybrid form not a full bred full breds have the facial structure and everything putting her hands to her mouth like there pincers Kathy" Mmhmmmmm please stop I can picture it already " Alicia " spiders may not be my best on my list but there are spider mobians kathy, " Kathy" yes I know, but the only real spider-like thing about them is the extra arms " Alicia" do you have moth people?" Cleva" ehhh blight knows more then me its best o ask her" Alicia" moths scare me > > " Rouge" and we drop the bug topic we're here to eat and I don't want to lose my apatite " Blaze" I think I just saw blight go into the rest room" Kathy " if shes going to do what I think she is, then I might have to get her "



inside the restroom blight was messing with the air dryer for your hands



Blight" mortal technology is amazing , even if it loud as hell having her face under it until she she shook her head heheh xD ( Ching Ching~) a sudden tapping of the glass from outof where where until she turned towards the mirror and on the other side of it a white colored demon with harns similar to xander's stood with in

???" nice to see you having so much fun in the waste disposal sort of where you belong " Blight" the heck?! Zimmer!? how you should have be able to cross over " Zimmer " I've had help I just wanted to give alittle scare because since my parents don't want to hurt your family so much that doesn't mean I can't go after others hes connected two especially the ones who killed my brother! Blight" xander sexually assaulted one of our prime guests your lucky your family got off as well as they did " Zimmer" no luck has nothing to do with it, your family ranks higher then ours and I don't care, one by one your doing to suffer and when I want what I want I. Will. get it!! ( CRAshhhh!! ) suddenly the glass shattered as the lights flickered



Blight" ( this is impossible there is no way hes here me and poison would sense it! he must have used something to communicate but how would he be able to?? ) slowly back up from the broken glass she put up a danger sign as she left but quickly running into kathy !?!? Kathy" is everything okay?" Blight" as she looked around >< puling kathy to the side



Kathy" I'm sorry what!?" Blight" the fact he contacted me showed he could do something but he knows it will hell to pay if he goes after any of us so hes probably going to try and target your friends " Kathy" do you know if hes here??" Blight" I don't think hes here it was just a message, believe it or not demons have a odor if there was one here I would know it, but... I want to keep this quiet at least for now I wanted to enjoy this evening with everyone, they don't deserve to have there evening ruined " Kathy" but I don't want to leave everything in danger" Blight" please, please ;w; if I sense something I will warn you " Kathy"....- -....* as kathy looked back seeing everyone laughing and talking " well if he know s he can't hurt your family then poison should at least know " Blight" nods "



back at the house as they were watching the movie



Poison"......( Kathy" poison its kathy, I'm really sorry to disturb your movie night but I just have message, blight said xanders brother, zimmer is looking to target sky and wildfire possible , he used the bathroom mirror to send her a message ) .... startled by the news her tried to remain calm .... ( alright , we're half way through the movie and nothing has happened , mirrors can work like echo crystals if done right , my guess that's how he reached blight but he can't do anything beyond that , I know that much " Kathy" should we call this off?" even if he wanted to, you need a gate on both sides, no matter what thats the rule, if he doesn't have that he can't get here " Kathy" and your sure?" Poison" yes " Kathy" okay" )



* as poison sunk into his seat"

Wildfire" something wrong?" Poison" I..just need to take a piss " Sky" oh we can pause its good~ " Wildfire " I still like to you slice a thread in half " Sky" I'm good but not that good thats pure fiction as far as I'm concerned"

as poison went into the bathroom balling his fist*

Poison" God help me... as poison pulled out a echo crystal he had ....Zimmer! " as the crystal vibrated, slowly there was no response, until a voice was heard " Zimmer" ahh prince I wasn't expecting a call so soon- " Poison" shut up, I'm only going to say this once, what happened to xander was his own fault, suck it up, and if you do Anything stupid.. I won't kill you I will kill your whole family myself, you have been warned. ( Crackk.. Crush!!) as the crystal shattered in his grip* .... as he leaned against the wall taking a deep breathe ... as poison came out wildfire was standing there and he handed poison a smoke



Poison" how long were standing there?" Wildfire" long enough, you think I don't know you when your livid? I can blindfolded and I would know " Poison" ....* taking the smoke*... sky might have gotten over it but I haven't " Wildfire" .... we won't have any repeats, I promise that I they seem to don't know there messing with reapers a step below angels " Poison" I know right, ' Wildfire" if they have a death wish by all means come , just don't cry to me when you lose holding his fist out to wild as he responded with a fist bump Poison " why cant you be like this all the time" Wildfire" is that a request? Poison" I'm just sayin > > Wildfire" so am I resting his arm over his head against the wall certain are only best in spades and that includes- ( BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP...! ) O O "



Wildfire" sky! what the fuck!? *rushing to the kitchen*" Sky" I just wanted to use your broiler! you had brisket I thought it would great " ( you don't set the thing to high! it will torch it ! ) Sky" this is the same one we have at home why does it to this! Wildfire" I don't know! ask alicia! )



Poison"...* blushing softly* ....* face palm* >///< "





back with the girls, kathy and blight tried to rest there nerves as the night continued on, even though blight still felt little restless



Blaze" so now that he's around niyako more often I actually got him biting his own tail, I know it was going to happen eventually " Kathy" Ehehheh cuuuuute <3 " Kathy" actually it has been a while kathy, when are the twins going to start attending kindergarten? Kathy" < <;; " Blaze" there going to start attending school right?" " Alicia" unless shes home teaching herself" Rouge" and given your schedule I can see you having the time" Blight" maybe she feeds the knowledge into there mind passively so they do learn" Alicia" I think that as easier and they learn that way XD"

Kathy" < <;;; laughter nervously yeah I'm signing them up fiddling with her spoon Cleva" you feed them knowledge passive while you have them sit in your pouch don't you " Kathy" Grrrrrr am I fucking obvious! DX I just... ugh I'm on the fence about it for now , and especially for kyle and kathelyn is learning just fine with khalon and ginger " Rouge" well it would be well for them to be around other kids there age" Kathelyn maybe but again kyle I... sigh ... " Blight" whats wrong with kyle?" Kathy" he got my blindness like me when I was born " Blight" wait you were born blind?? I thought something had happened DX but you act so casually I never thought-" Kathy" same reaction every time she chuckled a bit but no, I see using chaos energy, and I've been teaching kyle the same, hes even learned how to identify me and others via there scent or tone of voice " Cleva" what if one went to school and the other stayed home?" Kathy" I don't want to wedge them like that, there always a pair, I'd rather have them be at home and learn from home , who better to teach them the basics then family " Blaze' well I can't say I disagree, snowfall will reach that age soon " Cleva" you can have personal tutors "

Alicia" its the social part of there development your both worried about it, and take it from me who was taught at home , what our doing is fine they will all grow up fine, when I turned 10 my dad signed me up for private school away from mobius away from the war thinking it would be great for me " Blaze" where was it?" Alicia" some ritzy school on the south islands, needless to say after about a month I started getting teased for my fur , my so called friends even joked about it but I went along with it, it only after I got pranked with paint balloons my I couldn't take it, after a week of washing my hair and leaving claw marks one some jerks face I begged my dad to bring me home , things changed a bit more when I got older though, education was becoming somewhat safer when the war was at a stand still, I tried school again and people actually liked me , I got into music and the rest is history , " Blight" its odd people teased you for being blue when your worlds hero was a blue hedgehog" Alicia" I know right XP" Blaze" then again tails did casually mention was he was called a freak for having two tails back n the day, even during his confrontations with the bird armada he was called a freak for being able to fly and not being a bird" Rouge" the bird armada are a bunch of supremacists anyway I wouldn't expect any kind of tolerance from them :/ " Blight" oh wow such a skill to have an ego about being able to fly fish can swim better you don't see them asking to be called Gods" Cleva" thats because we continuously eat them l3 she laghed bad joke I know"



Rouge" speaking of~ * suddenly eh waiter came with there appetizer platter of lobster, variety of fried fish and a bowl of clam chowder for cleva and mussels and fries for kathy



Kathy" X3 " Blaze" well given alicia's response I hope I didn't sour your teaching methods kathy I was only curious > > " Kathy" no its understandable, I just worry a hella of a lot more then I thought and kyle, my absolute precious.. I worry every day and I know we have ways to help with blindness now, hell, my own condition has softly healed thanks to years of constantly chaos use , I've gone from blind to extremely blurry " Rouge" with your glasses right?" Kathy" yeah" so I'll see, but the doctor's are saying it may be temporary so its best not make any rash decisions at least right now" Blight" so blaze is sky enjoying the sword" Blaze" turned half the beach into a ice rink" Blight" ahahah nice XD "





as the evening progressed further wildfire and the others had finished there movie , sky offered to clean the dishes leaving poison and wildfire to themselves in the living room



Poison" you think the girls will be back soon its been 3 hours already" Wildfire" there is no telling sometimes alicia comes come back till midnight during her DJ nights " Poison" well some of her friends are mothers so I'm sure she can't keep them forever" Wildfire" there all mothers actually and are you as well " Poison" biting his lip yeah I know we're a bit on the late train but... we're looking to have them , but maybe once we get situated with the royal stuff you know?" Wildfire" well makes sense shrugging his shoulders no pressure " Poison" what about, you ever thinking about kids?" Wildfire" nope " Poison" you run a crime family quote un quote who are you gonna pass your lineage to " Wildfire"..... " Poison" your gonna want someone you can trust " Wildfire"......* thinking about it* ....marigold " Poison" marigold.. darkfire's daughter? " Wildfire" yep problem solved, she'll be right " Poison" come on dude why not ginger the kid wants to follow in your shoes" Wildfire" sigh ...look ginger is a good kid, hes great, he would be fine addition but.. that's just it... he's... he has too much of a honest heart and this work 10 levels down it would change him, and I don't want to see that happen, hes too naive to see it from my view nor do I think he will, at worst he'll work for me on the surface but nothing beyond that... " Poison" oh but marigold its okay to corrupt? T T" Wildfire" you have ro live this life style you can't start late shes try at the beginning,and you can see she'll love her family ad her friends , she'll know what she needs to do " Poison" well if you say so , how will you convince darkfire,I think hes going to be against it " Wildfire" well I'll cross the bridge when it happens, right now let the kids be kids "



suddenly message appeared on darkfires's phone

Alicia" on our way back <3 "



Sky" alright dishes are done I also was able to clean out the oven sorry about that accident though " Wildfire" dude I have maids to take care of most things why do this " Sky" looks I've always been a "if you broke you, you fix it" sort of person at least the best I can " Poison" sure its

not just guilt? " Sky" partially maybe , but does it matter?" Wildfire" course it matters, you told me once you wanted to respect from others around you but you have to demand it , be the orchestra-tor not the clean up crew," Sky"..... yeah your right " Wildfire" why do you feel like you always have to clean up the mess left behind " Sky" taking a seat... you deal with sonic for 6 years and you would be the same, and over all even the freedom fighter as a whole was a hot mess for a multitude of reasons " Poison" yeah we learned alot from your musical , you micro managed reports and meetings for sally, you helped on missions from sonic that went south, you bitched at sonic for not wanting to kill eggman, and the cycle repeated almost every few months" Sky" more like weeks , and he wouldn't let me , the council would let me cause it would cause too much of a ripple effect, even sally believe keeping him around would be more of a symbol to our success then killing him meanwhile in my mind, all I hear is excuses, excuses, excuses I was going insane at point " Wildfire" then you met your future wife? Sky" mhm...honestly I think the whole reason I fell in love with her was because she was such a opposite to everything around me, "we have to kill eggman nega" " lets do it!" " these pirates need to be taken out " whats your plan" Jsut!,,,, no resistance! Ohhhhhh it was such a breath of fresh air " Wildfire" don't climax on us now he smirked Sky" you just don't understand what I've dealt with, with that damn fool and his band of followers even if some saw my side they still wouldn't go further.... "



Wildfire" hmm if you don't mind me asking one little question " Sky" sure" Wildfire" you said to sonic during your little spat few days ago, "other realities" what did you mean by that?" Sky" oh you over heard that, your the first who actually asked. well keeping it brief, something happens where our lives got reset as well as our memories to a certain point, I couldn't tell you how or what t causes it, I remember naugus called the genesis wave where history is either rewritten or reset if a key person is dead or is killed prematurely " Poison" so what, if God didn't mean for someone to die then he just rewinds reality and us with it?" Sky" in a sense >w> " Wildfire" thats alittle fucked don't you think" Sky" yes it is but most don't remember for us its normal, but me and sonic have visions, cloudy memories of those times , hell even kathy doesn't know this much. its faded at this point but all hang on to it the fact that in the past reality , I was borderline, depressed be cause of him I looked liked darkfire from his early days, ' Wildfire" what of kathy?" Sky" I didn't know her. and you guys weren't there either, I know I had a friend named kaira I think she helped me learn my scythe powers sort of but I'm guessing at this point" Poison" I actually met a girl with that name was shes a rabbit? " Sky" no, she was a green furred wolf" Poison" wow... your good dealing with that >> " Sky" yeah and in the past life sally was killed, or robotized and eggman even weaponized her changing out her innards " Poison" oh gawd" Sky" and whenever sonic truly gets on my nerves I throw this in his face cause it makes him listen "



Wildfire" ha ha ha ha! yeah let me remind you your girlfriend got butchered in your past life that would shut anybody up! ha ha ha" Sky" I know right " Poison" you ever think it will happen again" Sky" I use to worry about that but over time I think this time we're here for the long haul so we can live our lives normally, so congrats we have the good timeline xD... I guess?" Wildfire" well before we all have an extensional crisis , the girls should be here soon getting up from his seat



Kathy" correction, the girls are here now~ as kathy opened the door

Blaze" we're back " Sky" welcome back you all have fun?" Alicia" hell yeah turns out the blue reef resort had a dance hall and we had to check out did you know rouge had a few good moves herself l3 " Sky" that would have nice to see, did you get the dance?" Blaze" >///> only because of kathy forcing me" Kathy" you don't need to be a wall flower x3" Alicia" you should shake what your mama gave ya xD" Blaze" ( more like what I cheated and gave myself but anyway ) >w> Alicia" goes up to wildfire and so how was the movie night did we miss any special bonding l3 " Wildfire" sky set off the smoke alarm trying to use the broiler T T " Alicia "say wha?? o o " Sky" dude really? it was a accident DX "



Wildfire" next time just run it on lower burner not high when using someone elses " Blaze" chuckles a bit well nice to see you had some fun , I bought you some garlic bread to go~ she smiled Sky' <3 thank you kitty nuzzled her cheek by the way how did blight enjoy it "



as everyone said thee good byes and headed for home leaving the place quiet alicia collapsed on the couch



Wildfire" a little worn out are we?" Alicia" I won't lie rouge kind of burnt me out on her stories of her love affairs on her treasure heists, shes more of a gem fiend then my mom was Wildfire" well we all have our quirks I guess doesn't mean you can't work off the stress if you need to" Alicia" let me change first right now I smell like sea water and I know I have fish breathe cause we forced each other to try mussels and sea slugs " Wildfire "wait sea slugs?" Alicia" yes! apparently for blaze its a delicacy she said I got the fully cooked one , there is a type you take for medical reasons and its still alive hugging her tail and she made sky eat it! *as she cringed* I almost vomited in my mouth, she thought it was funny tho! X( . I swear everyone is weird in one way or another , rouge with her gems, cleva with her spiders , blaze with her weird tribal cultural methods or- " Wildfire" or us with our open sex relationship I don't think we have room to talk" Alicia" still XP " Wildfire" tsk love you too " Alicia" hmph* pulls him close to her and kisses him passionately* Wildfire" oh gosh you can taste it DX " Alicia" ha ha~ payback " Wildfire" oh don't worry you'll get yours soon enough~"





late that night



both wildfire and alicia were sound asleep after a full evening in both ways



( Growling...) ><... unfortunately alicia ended up getting disturbed by an upset stomach in the middle of her sleep as she got up prematurely *



Alicia" ( sea slug delicacy my ass...) after some time passing relieving herself suddenly she went heard a knock at the door ... ( hm? its freaken 3 in the morning who would knocking at this hour? ) as she went down stairs at the same time tying her robe on , while also seeing sugar byte fast asleep at the foot of the couch, looking through the eye hole she saw someone was hovering close to the door no one familiar to her even )



Alicia" ( okay either someone is there or I'm seeing things.. ) ( play it safe and believe the sea slugs are making me see things xD ) heading back upstairs (Thrash!!) O O;; checking back behind her a pair of claws tore through the door then after they pulled themselves out the door was then ripped open Alicia" .....!? " walking inside Zimmer just let himself in



Zimmer" you know I thought it was a courtesy to open the door for guests" Alicia" her ears folded back heh..hehe..hehe ehhh Sugar! SUGARBYTE intruder!? " as she called to her there was no reaction" Zimmer" so you were effected by the time spell and not him" Alicia" the time what? " Zimmer" showing his hand there was hourglass image in his hand and a blue aura that hovered around him and her * itsa time spell anything effected by us won't be effected until the spell is over, so for example the door or you called for that thing, won't be effective until its over "

Alicia" thats very fucking specific" Zimmer" I personally wanted it for wildfire and I didn't want ot make too much of a scene yet but I'll take what I can get and you'll be a nice prelude to whats to come anyway " Alicia" I'm sorry I don't know you! " Zimmer" but you know my brother , xander " Alicia" wait that demon that...ohh... I see what this about..." Zimmer" perfect now that we're all on the same page we can get to the point "



at the moment he rushed towards her but she ducked to the ground dodging it as his claws duck into the wall , rushing to get away alicia ran to her DJ hall, locking the door behind her , she ran to her DJ table hiding underneath it



Alicia" ;w; Chaos why are you testing me , I didn't do anything wrong, is this for all the sex parties , I'm faithful I just like having a good time , I like wildfire...I- o o oh yeah I had this suddenly looking to her side she had a shotgun hooked under the table for emergencies hmm and if things don't have an effect until it wears off.. then as she turned on her light system and set the effects to a blinding setting ( Crashh!) zimmer broke open the door as he walked inside



Zimmer" don't take this personal mortal its only you were only caught up in a feud, if you want to blame anyone blame the prince xander was only having fun and yet they all had to cry about one mortals feelings " Alicia"... ( click) Suddenly the lights came on blinding him

Zimmer" AGhhhhh! >< " suddenly rushing towards him alicia rushed out while he had his eyes shut and blasted him in the face with the shot gun, no noise was heard because of the spell still in effect but zimmer was blown back to the ground*



Alicia" wearing sunglasses your stupid brother sexually assaulted one of our friends! we kind of take that shit seriously whither you care about it or not! nothing personal * as she walked back

to the table dimming the light as she let out a sigh of relief* .. I forgot about this thing.. thank chaos it still fired" suddenly as as she glanced at the dance floor the body was gone as her senses spiked as she looked around then suddenly before she could react zimmer grabbed her by the neck



Zimmer" I hope it was worth it for your friend slamming her against the table then throwing her completely across the room into a shelf of her record collection as she hit the ground the shelf collapsed on top of her, trapped under neath the stuff she tried to move but her head was bleeding as she lifted her head barely opening one eye



Zimmer" you know when your "friend" tried to tell me I was warned if I did anything stupid, I couldn't help but laugh , after that like he was suppose to scare me , or something? I told him I take what I want whither others have a problem or not , how do you think greed climbs to power, is the desire for power strength, wealth notoriety, no matter who you hurt kill or betray its for a means to an end , adn fun fact mortal the greedier you are, the more powerful we are as his body started to heal from her shotgun attack " Alicia" .. cough*.... good for you..."



suddenly in a second all the sound effects from the commotion they had caused all happened one after the other, expressing the spell had worn off



Zimmer" !? the spell is used up already?" Alicia" eheh.. doesn't pay to monologue " suddenly behind them both , you saw a yellow aura glowing from wildfire, his fist balled his teeth grit tightly as his eyes were glowing



Wildfire"............" (S-Shing!) suddenly two a two headed chain scythe appeared around him Zimmer" well then I guess I can't have what I want when I wanted to make this quiet... " Wildfire" this only thing quiet is going to be your grave in that second he rushed him but zimmer tanked wildfire's charge as the force of there clash shattered the windows in the room



Zimmer" you had fun with my brother who was part lust you don't know what a pure breed greed can do!! " Wildfire" that wasn't even a fight, it was a execution " Zimmer" suddenly as he started ot get angered by his comment he quickly headbutted wildfire shoving him back shut like this mortal you "care" about so much will have!! as he suddenly grabbed one of the vinyls coating it in energy then throwing it like a disc towards alicia's head Wildfire' !?! * suddenly activating his power he rushed in grabbing alicia puling her out of the way of the attack and as it hit the ground

it was embedded into the floor.."



Wildfire" are you alright? " Alicia" define alright? * as they looked around he was gone* suddenly sugarbyte Danger Danger! High levels of energy detected! "



suddenly outside zimmer was outside hovering in the sky, as he hovered in the air he cupped his hands together as he was charging up a sphere of orange energy making the mass bigger and bigger untill he held it over his head as it started to grow



Zimmer" just as you said mortal this was not a fight it was execution! it just took longer! This ocean will be your grave!! suddenly he launched the energy ball towards the island itself AHahahah DIE! - (WHAM!) > < in that second he was kicked straight in the face making him loose focus as the energy ball started to slow down as purple streak came by and sliced the sphere in half destroying it as it exploded in the night sky* ( BOOM!!) making waves in the ocean luckily no damage was made



Zimmer" Grr what the hell is it now!? "

as he got to look before him it was sky in the super form and next to him was nova as well

Zimmer" you!! " Sky" yeah.. ." Zimmer" I'm surprised you would come to your friends aid I guess your trauma wasn't that bad " Nova" how about you don't launch your attack somewhere we can see from our home! as nova pointed out the castle in the horizon Zimmer" tsk! " so what you think this is suppose to scare me , I could care less, like I told prince poison, if there is something I want! I will get it whither anyone likes it or NOT!! suddenly as his body started ot morph and transform as he grew in size resembling a minotaur as he eclipsed the moon as his eyes glowed with green energy as he roared out



Nova" cheese and rice... " Sky" I guess we've gone from reapers to demon hunters now " ( YOU GUYS STAY OUT OF THIS ) " as both of them noticed wildfire in his reaper form as his chain scythe hovered around him Sky" wildfire?" Wildfire" I appreciate the save back there but this bitch broke into my house and hurt alicia, I'm handling this " Spirit Nova" Alicia! DX as nova rushed to go check on her Shinning Sky" you sure?" Wildfire" positive, I am beyond angry right now " Shinning Sky" heh.. alright don't be afraid to tag out " as sky backed off



Zimmer" such pride, thinking you can take me on in this state, even pride demon's cower beyond our transformations" Wildfire" well then I guess its good I'm not one of them , so do me a favor and try not to die quickly " Zimmer " Grrrrr RROoooaaaaoooorrrr!! summoning a battle ax to his hand



there battle was about to begin





back at the house nova had gone to check on alicia seeing she was trying to patch her wounds with one hand, saying that she thought her wrist was broken, so nova tried her best attempt to heal it *



Nova" sandwiching it between her hands she started to feed some of her energy to alicia >< after a few seconds alicia could feel the sol energy flowing through her and as she did slowly but surely her wrist began to feel like normal again" hows that?" Alicia" making a fist* its actually good as new " Nova" yes I did it I'm so glad for that " Alicia" same but how did you get to us so fast?" Nova" me and my dad were already outside with a morning sparring , then next thing, we saw this giant orb in the sky, and dad felt something off in the air, so we assumed the worst, grabbed the sol emeralds and rushed here in time before your island became a parking lot"



Alicia" do you guys ever go to sleep.. " Nova" we do sleep we just start our days early " Alicia" as grateful as I am for your help you both need to get a better sleep system " Nova" to be fair your probably right, sometimes dad admits he falls asleep in meetings ( BOOM!) OwO;;; looking outside you saw a light show of green and yellow clashing in the sky and skimming across the ocean even towards other smaller islands



as wildfire was being chased by zimmer he was closing behind him with his battle ax slicing and cutting down everything in his path, even the point of cutting a whole hill from the ground Wildfire" no respect for the landscape I can tell " Zimmer" when will you stop running and start fighting you rodent! " Wildfire" who said I wasn't? suddenly wildfire wrapped his chain around a rock pillar then using it like a rope he swing himself around full circle back towards zimmer as he was coming towards him and kicked him in the cheek sending him face first in the dirt (CRasshhhhh!_ )

Wildfire" all that damn power. when in reality your nothing but a bullet train with no driver" as zimmer picked himself up Zimmer" and your just a aimless firefly, asshe start charging towards him like a bull but wildfire dodged his charge easily but as he passed him wildfire noticed a smirk on his face, but before he could respond suddenly zimmer teleported and was charging in the opposite direction back towards wildfire slamming into him Wildfire" ><...!! following up he grabbed wildfire by the leg and start slamming him on the ground repeatedly ( Wham!!) Zimmer" This is for my brother! ( Vooom!!) suddenly he leaped far into the sky , as wild still pulling his self together when zimmer was looking to come crashing down like a anvil foot first *

Wildfire" motherfucker DX using his slow ability he was able to get out of rhe way and as zimmer hit the impact of his crashing was so strong an earthquake was felt through the small island as it shattered into down the middle splintering it into four pieces, ocean quickly started to fill in the gaps made in the island



Shinning Sky" ( they destroy one more small island, I'm stepping in there only lucky the islands are vacant ) "



Zimmer" your time step saved you more times then anything " Wildfire" ( hes not wrong, I'm just amazed at the fact hes not really effected by it, if he was I would have diced him up alright, maybe I can try something - - ) its honestly baffling your doing all this because of your brother, you seem more hurt we went against your family, it was your stupid pride and ego that was hurt " Zimmer" perhaps , but the Greed royals have there share of bonds with one another and though love an affection may not be high on the list we still know protecting one another is important and the mutual trust is something we must hold dear otherwise " Wildfire" your nothing but a much of mindless beasts " Zimmer" no, the law of order would turn quickly to anarchy, only the strongest is at the top , and guess where xander was" Wildfire" top 10 " Zimmer" he was actually next in line for a seat at the house" Wildfire" ... o o" Zimmer" if I was truly selfish I wouldn't have anything to do with you because thanks to you killing him I was given his position " Wildfire" !? but if your benefiting then why all this?" Zimmer" well I suppose in the end you could call it an act of payback for his soul , and being killing by a mortal don't look good suddenly he threw his battle ax towards wildfire, just as he was about to dodge it , zimmer teleported to the Ax in a second already in position to wildfire fire in half. Wildfire" !! but responding in time he unleashed a burst of his soul energy as everything around him paused o o the world became silent nothing was heard or felt but the pressure on wildfire's body for the power he was using*



Wildfire" heh.. chaos control eat your heart out , well zimmer as much you believe in keeping up appearances we mortals do love our kin and thisis the result of your family attacking mine and half killing my wife, so as we also say, its nothing personal, its just business as he eyes glowed brightly and in a second multiple light streaks rushed across his body jsut as wildfire started moving again at normal speed



Zimmer" ..?!..y...y...you.... ( Splattterr!!) in a second zimmers limbs completely fell apart following up his head dropped showing wildfire had completely carved him into pieces as blood and body parts dropped into the ocean ShinningSky" you did it , I didn't catch it at all o o " Wildfire" I had to build up power to make time stop around him and myself , it was exactly easily , but it was simpleot keep him talking" Sky" I noticed so that- " Wildfire" Grahhh! suddenly wildfire vomited up blood as sky quickly caught him from falling* Ahh coughing >< " Sky"!! " Wildfire"...so.. thats what it feels like... " Sky" straining your soul energy goes back to your body, looks like your pushed yourself little too hard " Wildfire" heh.. looks like we're even " Sky" put his arm over his shoulder we're jsut destined to be neck and neck it seems he chuckled



sky carried wildfire back to there house taking in the damage that was done



Sky" gosh I'm really sorry about your vacation house" Wildfire" don't worry about it, I'm sure the greed family will happily reimburse us " Alicia" fuck that I lost a whole classic record set because of him! ;w; I demand compensation " stopping her foot* Nova" your DJ table got wrecked so I'm kind of on her side here " Sky" I'm sure poison is going ot happy hearing about this too " Wildfire" * nods* coughing... ahh.. we-- suddenly wildfire started to stumble over as alicia caught him setting him down Alicia" your not hurt are you" Sky" using his soul energy as strongly as he did, his body isn't use to that strain so hes gonna be winded for a bit and best give yourself a day's break from it too , I speak from experience " Wildfire" yeah I get it, I get it " Nova" wish there was more we can do" Alicia" you saved our house from getting destroyed will be fine and I'm sure kathy will be more then happy to help out tomorrow but for now I think we both need to just rest" Sky" alright, well you know where to find us as both nova and sky headed off looking like two bright lights in the sky *



Wildfire"...*sigh* ...I'm sorry , I should have saw this coming and- " Alicia" shhh shh.. never mind all that we survived like we always have as she wrapped her arms around him tightly leaning her head against his we came out on top as it should be " suddenly sugarbyte nudges there head against his leg Sugarbyte" ;w; " Wildfire" I think this is the weirdest nights we've ever head " Alicia" and now foreplay involved " nuzzling his cheek



meanwhile



Slayer" watching ohohoh oh wow that went from zero to sixty real fast, but I will admit it they handle it all in a fairly reasonable about of time" Mayhem" .....@#$@$%^ ? " Slayer" no I'm not going to recruit zimmer, I just feel like it will be a shade situation again, and I'm not interested in that, but my top ranks are looking a bit dry so i will have to do something about that crossing his arms Mayhem" ....#$@$$ #$%#$% #% #$%# $ " Slayer" the zone cop prisons exaction line?

ehhh its another avenue but worth looking into , but I will have to be careful, the zone police are like messing with a hornets nest at times "





the next morning



dinning room table



Aqua" so you both had an eventful morning " Nova" yawnn....uh-huh I didn't exactly go back to sleep cause I was bit paranoid some more would happen so I made myself stay up" Blaze" given the little sleep you already get that is the last thing you should be doing T T" Sky" well with zimmer attacking wildfires home what else could we do, Blaze" well I'm sure poison's family is taking over the situation as we speak " Sky" I can imagine it now. Crystal" you both did well to handle the situation and even props to wildfire getting that far in his training , even if he did push himself little too hard" Sky" but hey he did it xD" Blaze" I will admit I feel little bad sleeping through everything, it almost feels as though I should set my alarm as well" Sky" don't be, these were special cases and everyone else needed to sleep on this account , not everyone is going ot be up at 3 in the morning " Blaze" nor should you and yet here we are :/ " Sky" ahahah well I guess it just works out that way xD " Blaze" sigh " Niyako" hmmm maybe having a special alarm that can go off if one of our friends is attacked? Sky" we already have that its called the kathy alarm taking another fork full of his waffles Blaze" well I'm certain wildfire will be on mandatory vacation for now " Sky " pay one at that , which I know jack won't like, but you know ' suddenly from with in the middle of the table a dark reddish cloud of smoke appeared and it was one of the little demons that belied to poison" Nova" its the dust bunnies..! the demon was carrying a letter in its mouth as it walked it over to sky* Sky" thank you the creature jumped off the table as before it could vanish , fur oodle already was trying to chase after it



Blaze" what does it say?" Sky" says it from soul , dear sky and nova, on behand of the lust demon family we greatly thank you for your help in dealing with zimmer the high rank family member of the greed realm" we didn't really do much it was more wild then anything " Blaze" but you did stop his house from being destroyed " Nova" and that took the sol emeralds so.. " Sky" alright fine- " thi letter if just alittle update for you all to know the situation, firstly Obsidian is already taking measures against them for this crime, I really don't think I need ot explain the fate that befell the rest of them " " Aqua" killed them all I'm guessing " Sky"..." as for conditions wildfire is being compensated, we will repair his home personally "



* cutting to wildfire and alicia t as they sat in bed tons of the small demons were running around repairing and tending there needs "

Alicia" I love this XD " Wildfire " I Don't! T T " as two of them came on ot his bed with a tooth brush and tooth paste as they were trying to prepare it form him, but he quickly snatched it from them I can brush my own teeth thank you! " Alicia" aww don't be mean there only trying to help" Wildfire" they cna "help" by not looking like a rat infestation! as he got out of bed "



hearing his words suddenly a good chuck of them started o compile themselves together into this huge mass as they transformed into a black mouse like demon with clear white eyes and no specific features besides looking likea filled in silhouette he only came no higher the hinote

Demon" I only wish to assist you in your needs , and alicia's bath has been made" I and actually bigger then this but the rest if me is still fixing the damaged DJ room" Alicia" baby ,w, " Wildfire" ( God give me strength ) facepalm Demon" is there anything specfic you would like for your morning meal " Alicia" what are the options " Wildfire" I have cooks for that thank you, just work on the damages you don't have to be our servants, Demon" but prince poison is extremely upset about what happened in fact he would be here now if he wasn't busy " Wildfire" busy with what" Demon" killing the rest of the Greed family. the parents well just publicly executed a few minutes ago " Wildfire" o o " Alicia" o o;; well that didn't take long " executions are always a sight to be hold this time it was done with wild beasts from the out lands a Jorgoda" Alicia" whats a jorgoda? " Demon" >w> hmm think if a giant worm had what you call a blender for a mouth, what makes it painful is that sometimes he can't break up things he eats to is spits up whatever is left, sometimes the victims are still alive and left to slowly death in pain an angoy " Alicia" Thank you sweetie! I needed that burned into my mind forever , now I'm going to down a whole body of which cause I want to forget what you just said ^w^ * as alicia took hr leave" Demon" usually everyone likes to hear how there enemies died horribly " Wildfire" everyone is different T T; "

Blaze" is it me or does soul comes off as kathy in some ways" Niyako" to be a goth girl its a tad surprising usually there not so welcoming at least where I'm from " Nova" I know I've seen them, but for what its worth all's well that ends well suppose" suddenly flare arrived in the room



Flare" I can see things have been running smoothly while I have been away " Crystal" flare its been a while since we've seen your face " Flare" yes, I've spent a lot of my time in the east with crimson and I have to say we've been doing a lot of travel on our own and we arrived back jsut a month ago" Blaze" that lovely to hear ^^ " Flare" nods and now I think my time as headmaster will be coming to a close this year, Aqua" aww your finally letting it go and giving it to the bakery queen?" Flare" if shes willing that is, " Sky" I don't think you'll have to worry about that" Flare" I didn't want to leave on a quiet note so I wanted to hold a festival of sorts for the students then when me and crimson visited pumpkin hill something sparked in my mind , and well as she placed a poster down on the table

Niyako" was that kathy??" Nova" oh! > > I never told you about killer its a bit of a long story >w> ; "





to be con.

Returning back to the vincia kingdom



Diamond Fang house



**shing!!* we arrive with scourge and kaspian already in a heated session , as sparks were flying across the air , with a bit of a crowd watching like a show both of them were giving it there all



* jsut as scourge was sending flying back he quickly rolled into a ball covering his ground then revved back towards kaspian leaping in the air as he pulled his new whip like blade that could bend and curve along with him when he goes into a spin dash, as he launched himself towards kaspian the sword would extend and break up so his spin dash would have a metallic shine from his blade almost like a second layer to the attack itself.



Kaspian" pushing his hands up with his sword trying to block it as sparks were flying he was getting pushed back until he eventually his tail would slam on the ground harshly with a crash as he put in all his energy in his arms and forced scourge off of him** GRaahhh! panting ...fuck" Scourge" panting passively himself had enough yet lizard boy" Kaspian" heh you kidding this is actually fun, no more kid gloves for you as he spread his wings out rushed him as there blades clashed scourge was forced back but kaspian was eager to push him to the edge of the training ring but he barely shifted his weight to get kaspian off of him but as kaspian made a U turn back towards him scourge already when into a spin dash and and they clashed once more



Cello" it only took a month and now hes going toe to toe with kaspian " Reia" alittle direction and focus can go a long way ( CLASH!) Alex" now lets just hope they don't destroy the place in the process Snow" watching my fantasy man have some fun i don't mind l//3 Reia" fantasy man? mom your married DX" Snow" come on now its like what you kids call it a wafiu or husbondo isn't that what there called " Reia" that only applies to fictional characters" Snow" I can dream" Reia" rolling her eyes hey where brass?" Gunthem" lass was having stomach problems again " Reia" again??"



reia left the training field to go find brass, when suddenly she stopped as she looked at herself in the mirror she noticed a small budge in her shirt

Reia" sigh... I still have to sit down with dad and tell him > >; I won't be able to hide it anymore as she took a deep breathe no, it will all be fine - - it will all be fine eventually reia ran into brass in the hall as she looked liked she had emptied her whole tank* Reia" brass you look exhausted " Brass" heh.. yeah well I'll be fine but I think it was something I ate again" Reia" all you've been eating is pineapples and scrambled eggs" Brass" its all I had a taste for DX that and some chocolate > > " Reia" .....um, brass you think you might be?" Brass" might be what?" Reia" upset stomach, food changes I finally adjusted to my habits long ago, and suddenly I'm seeing point for point the same ones in you , do you think your expecting??" Brass".......* suddenly a stunned by her answer but she quickly shook it off* hehe no not hardly, I don't exactly look it now do I? and on top of that keith and I haven't really had any sessions " Reia" didn't you have some personal time with them after our wedding " Brass" maybe" Reia" the time it takes fo the sign to show are long , I think its finally started ot show. your-" suddenly covered her mouth Brass" Shhh! listen we don't know for sure and I'm still not convinced, but even if it this isn't really somethign keith need to hear now " Reia" I've noticed you both have been rather busy " Brass" I'm running him through my personal training program in order for him to deal with slayer" Reia" I see has he threaten him or something Brass" in a way. and keith wants to be strong enough to fight him, I told him he is, he just needs to dust off his skills first. and learning about something like this will only stress him out " Reia" like you are now" suddenly brass started to pant softly as she kept trying to compose herself Brass" only because I don't want to think about being a parent right now . this isn't me, I 'm just.. I don't think I 'm not really for al lt hat, just because everyone else is a baby maker doesn't mean I have ot fucking be! not every women wants the same thing! slamming her fish against the wall cheese and rice " Reia" mood swings are a sign as well ...* suddenly brass's fist pressed until she busted a hole in the wall* Reia" Sorry! Sorry! I take it back! ( don't kill me! ) " Brass" .....slayer said

he wanted to make keith a part of him and not the other way around like before, and when slayer wants something its usually pretty serious, so I need to make sure hes ready"



Reia" then maybe we can both help him together " Brass" you can't exactly fight either " Reia" no, but I can show him what my father used to train me, a phantom crystal " Brass" a phantom crystal" Reia" they can project a copy of anything is sees, he can use to have a mirror match with himself you would be surprised what you can learn from fighting yourself " Brass" well I suppose we can try it , but promise me you'll keep the other junk on the low end" Reia" promise, where is keith anyway " Brass" doing some shopping for snow and buying some personable for me > >;; "



Reia" ( scourge was right, he is a house husband )





shortly after



keith arrived home greeting both brass and reia , taking there chance reai took both of them to a basement the basement was home to a large dojo like area wit ha wodden floor and in the center of the room was a staff like podium with a white crystal embedded inside of it



Reia" there it is " Brass " how much you never told us about this place? " Reia" for one thing is only accessible through my fathers permission and second not everyone is allowed here " Keith" so your saying this phantom crystal can make a copy of me and I fight my copy in order to improve " Reia" in the simplest of ways yes " Brass" you really make it sound so simple T T " Keith" well simple and effective is still a positive wouldn't you agree? crossing his arms as she smirked Reia" so the best way to understand the training is that you have to beat it in a fight, but its going to lock you in a illusion until its defeated, only you will able to free yourself from its grasp, either that or you pass out " Brass" and there is nothing we can do if he can't beat himself" Reia " nope , thats why my father only had access to this place " Keith" stretching as he cracked his knuckles well there is no time like the present , lets get this started " Reia" stepping within the ring will being the training " Keith" alittle kill for good luck~ l3 Brass" blushes you are a mess rolling her eyes as she looked away but never the less she pecked him on the forehead giving a soft chuckle after



keith took a step forward with in the fighting ring, and instantly, nothing happened at least from his view



Keith" soo uhh... was something suppose to happen?...reia? as he looked back suddenly the room was empty, looking back towards the crystal staff it was gone as well as he noticed the atmosphere was different the area was centered in the middle of a forest , with no end in side trees covering the sky and sun like piercing through like a morning sun



Keith" wait a second... I remember this place! this was the green fairy zone I would come here all the time when I was little looking down his feet was submerged in thick grass and leaves as he picked up the vines that were loosely blanketing the ground ahhh the fragrance is almost like I remembered it, but why this place, I wouldn't exactly call this place a fitting place to fight... " * as keith looked before him there a green energy clone of him standing with a brought glowing eyes as suddenly he pulled forth a staff from the ground completely made of vines and flowers , the staff held it tightly like a security blanket "



Keith " .....wait,, as keith did the same thign as the clone did pulling forth a vine and flower staff the Chaos Fragrance my very first staff, the one I used to become a guardian and how I learned to see everything the way I do now , after I left this place I didn't want to taint my first love so I had it buried here and I left for angel island with brass.... so what? your telling me I need to go and get this to make myself stronger against slayer " Clone" ................" Keith" eheh sorry but this staff has a lot of baggage tied to it I'd rather not go back to " Clone" ............ you need to forgive yourself for those's events keith after all it was her own fault" Keith" no it wasn't I did it cause I was angry I knew I shouldn't have" Clone" shouldn't have defended yourself?" Keith" I hurt hurt>< Clone" you were hurt" Keith" still.." Clone" he comforted you, thats wht you want him back" Keith" zip it! " Clone ( Slayer) " the only family you had was me the one who showed you compassion " Keith" STOP IT! * grabbing the staff he unleashed energy slash but the clone copied him one to one as the energy collided "



Keith"...fine get me worked up I know the spill and I'm not interested, I'll finish this now! as he started firing chaos shards but so did the clone one to one , eventually keith tried fighting in various other ways and the clone was only copying and matching him in attack and in power



on the outside

the area was covered by a glaring white dome

Brass" now what?" Reia" now all we can do is wait its all up to him now " Brass" and you seriously went through this too?" Reia "yes" Brass" and how long did it take you?" Reia" well for me it felt like hours, but dad said it was only 5 hours " Brass" that;s still a long time Reia" dad said cello took all day to over come himself -w- " Brass" so its different for everyone" Reia" mhm I've heard is designed to be a mental battle for your body and mind the stronger the mind the shorter it will be the weaker the mind the long er it will take , I trust in keith hes not weak" Brass" its not that I'm worried about... keith may act like kathy to an extent but hes not her he had his own past his own baggage , things he doesn't talk about and things he doesn't even bring up with me... and if this thing.. forces him to face them.. then I don't know what that will do to him* as she started to look worried*



Reia" dad always said the only way to become stronger and better is to face the things we hate the most " Brass" ....* clenching her arm tightly* keith... ( if you can hear me I'm here for you, I'm always here.. no matter what )



back inside in the illusion it was jsut as reia said it appears alot of time had gone by as we found keith sitting in a tree catching his breathe looking tired as he healed himself



Keith" you not gonna make me use it, I can get better without it leaning his head back ..I can do this...*pant* I can do this "





meanwhile



kaspian and scourge's fight had reached its end with both of them laying out on the floor



Cello" its quite a shame the only way you both will stop is if your both passed out on the floor, " Scourge" ask mister " I'm having fun" hes was the one who won't quit" Kaspian" only because you keep going your suppose ot be learning from me , pant " Cello" your both stubborn how about that " Scourge" forcing himself on his feet again but for its worth I'm still the one standing in the end- taking a step forward he immediately collapsed clenching his leg Aghhhh..fuckkkk me!! " Snow" thats sounds like a pulled muscle to me my dear, looks like no more fighting today~ as she helped kaspian back on his feet <3 " Scourge" where's my fucking help? ><;; " Scourge" your a big boy remember " Scourge" fuck offff..aghhh" Snow" I'm sure reia will get the stretcher or brass even" Cello" speaking of where are they? they never really came back > > " Guntham" I think they were going to use victor's phantom crystal in the old dojo " Snow" ?!!... the..phantom crystal... the same one that became corrupted after it was shown to have cracked? the same

phantom crystal I told him to get RID of because one his men get killed trying to use it?!,,, THAT crystal!? Guntham" o o... >w>....possibly..? " Snow" VICTOOOOOORR!!!! "

back in the dojo it has been over 30minutes so far and no response the point reia and brass were playing a game of cards while they were waiting



Reia" ...*sigh* perhaps I should go see if mother needs help with dinner , " Brass" you can go ahead I can't exactly focus on anything else right now... " Reia" I'm sure he's okay keith is strong as kathy xD" Brass" he is ! but theres... sometimes there are things I'm worried about for him " Reia" brass? " Brass" sighing as she held her head I'm sorry I'm just getting overly worked up, I'm sure he is okay but.. no knowing or being able to speak to him it actually leaves me with a weir d feeling" Reia" your worried about him? " Brass" normally I... sigh... yes I don't often get this worked up cause I know he checks in with me... and don't know, is this what it feels like to be outside the loop" Reia" eheh sometimes xD its called having faith " suddenly as energy spark started to emit across the sphere Brass" some of us would rather had assurance then being stuck with faith... "



with in the sphere Keith and the clone were still going at it as keith had knots of vines around his fingers and each finger was connected to a tree and moving his fingers he moved the trees like puppets grabbing on to the clone



Keith" its funny you stopped being a copy cat a while ago I guess you got tired to copying me, I will admit it was getting old " Clone... I don't copy weakness brother... _ C-Co Copy(Bizzzt!) Strength! as suddenly the clone started to break away from the branches breaking them apart strength your t-too weak to admit you needed, ( Bizzztt!) strength you knew I gave you, as the clone started to transform again as it looked like a female version of leo Leona strength I helped you forge and you ran from" Keith"...mom... * as he suddenly got cold feet as he stood still"

(Grab!) suddenly the clone grabbed him by the neck holding him in the air Leona" I loved you dearly and this is how you repaid me, what you did to me! , all I ever wanted was to Lov-hurt you "

as tears welled in keith's eyes he grit his teeth as he forced her away

Keith" love..hehe.. was love locking me in my room! for days on end?! was love forcing me to eat table scraps , was love trying to making me stronger through bitter training till I was in tears was that all your love?! " Leona" of course it was.. I loved you-( Bruzzt!) you meant nothing to me Berttzzz!!) I loved you keith,, " ( Berrttz) your a disappointment " Keith" Grrr just shut up! holding his head as he backed away I don't need this! I don't want this! * as he turned away ( its because you don't know whats real anymore, ) ?!!? o o "



Slayer" ... youve ran away, leaving yourself unsure about everything, whats real, whats fake, what was love , what was hate, what was her honest feelings, and what was the puppet strings that demon placed to break you as slayer paced around him and all the power inthe world...but your still too weak to face the possibly you may be right or wrong so you sit here in flux until you block it out completely, which is why i say you need to let me take over, become a part of me, I'll make the choice for you they were bad, you can kill them and this nonsense in your head will be finished"

Keith" ................." Slayer" so let your big brother finally take your hand and truly help you~ * he smirked* keith looking like his mind had finally gone as he chuckled quietly Keith" help me...me...help me.. help me... non of you helpedm e , you didn't help me you were there you laughed at me you hurt me you hurt her you did it too you were not my brother suddenly as the image tried to touch him mass of power coated him as his fur became coated wiht dark chaos

Keith" I SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU FIRST!! as he grabbed on to the clone thrusting it to the ground YOU WERE THE PROBLEM THE CORRUPTION!! I KNEW IT I KNEW YOU HELPED YOU PLAY INNOCENT!! OF EVERYTHING! suddenly as the energy around him started to form claws and spikes on his body as he started beating away at the clone viciously ( WHAM) You only Hate me-(Buzztt!) because you know its the ( Buzzttt!) ( Grasshh!) suddenly the clone changed into himself YOU ONLY DO THIS CAUSE YOU HATE YOURSELF! " Keith" YES!! ( GASshhh1!) suddenly his claws towre into the clones chest tearing at its core as it started to completely corrupt and transforming into many different faces EVERYTHING IS MY FAULT MY FAMILY MY FRIENDS GETTING HURT ALL OF IT AND EVEN SLAYER!! ITS MY FAULT WHY I NEVER FACED MY MOTHER WHY I NEVER SEE MY PARENTS THINGS I DON'T DESERVE I HATE MY SELF!( Wham) I HATE MYSELF...(Sob!) I HATE...MYSELF as his eyes filled with tears as his punching started ot slow up as the world around him started to become a blank void I... hate..myself because it was all my fault.. as he completely broke down to tears UA HHHggggAHHHH! "

???" ... the truth will always... set you free.... you monster

Keith" GRAAHHH!! as he was about to slam his fist down on the corrupted version of himself ( GRab)!! o o suddenly brass hugged him from behind



suddenly the space became a blank white void with only brass and keith present



Keith"........." Brass" its okay... its okay " Keith" .. brass... what.. how are you" Brass" just shut up ... promise me you'll never talk a like that again as she hugged him tightly pressing her face against his chest as she smothered him as she also had tears in her eyes Never...sat you hate yourself.. your wonderful your loving your caring your important to me...(sniff) keith..." Keith"..... I'm..sorry suddenly as he started to calm down, the energy started to fade from around him as his fur changed back to his normal shade as he felt brass was shaking herself he took her hand tightly

still I hurt her I was ... I know I did wrong because I lost myself in my own anger" I hurt my parents I hurt my mother I was...,," Brass" keith a lot happened you know it yourself, you can't put everything on you thats not fair "



Keith" then , the stuff with slayer, kathy getting on my case about him, what happened with nova, I was only making the same mistakes but.. I just kept running away blocking it out never being honest, I hate I could never be honest with myself as he cried softly I don't deserve..." Brass" just.. relax okay, we make mistakes and we keep making mistakes and eventually it take s something really bad where we finally snap back and decide to make the hard step forward... like... me and my mother " Keith "at least you didn't cripple her , it wasn't her fault..." Brass" ... how about we stop shifting blame, and work on healing the pain " Keith" ...y-yeah" suddenly the void started to vanish as they were back in the real world as the crystal wason the floor broken into pieces



Keith" how did you even reach me anyway ? Brass" well

a few minutes before the energy dome became violent with energy as reia ended up stepping away from it but brass stayed close as suddenly her over head something a very faint whisper ( its all my fault... I hate myself.. I hate..myself ) hearing his name she rushed towards the energy

Reia" brass don't! as brass s force her way through it going inside of it

Brass" and that's sort of what happened " Keith" wow adn everything else is here" Snow" well I'm just glad no one was killed because a certain someone was suppose ot get rid of this thing! " Victor" I was going to replace it when I found another but I never got my hands on one and I forgot about the old one > >" Scourge" not gonna lie seeing you like this is really... uhh different putting hi hands in her pockets > >; Keith" ehe I can imagine as keith looked exhausted from the fighting and his face looked a mess from the crying and stress " " Reia" so did it help?" Keith" yeah.. I finally know what I truly need to do to face slayer and be strong for everyone as a whole,* sighing heavily* I need to stop running from myself and face what I blocked out for the last few years " Brass" hmhm.. but right now lets get you some rest okay as she picked him up Keith"...

..." I-I can walk you know- " Brass "shut up, its opposite day so take it " Keith" >///>; * leaning his head against her as brass carried him out of the room passed everyone " Scourge" what did he mean face things he as been running from?" Reia " brass saidthere were things that he never even meant to her, perhaps he means those things "



as brass carried her upstairs to one of the bed rooms she sat him down*



Keith" um.. this might be a bad time to bring it up.. but I felt something " Brass" felt something where? are you hurt what do you need, I'm here for you " Keith" n- no I mean.. I felt something "in" you I sensed something " Brass" o o... holding her head down...." Keith" maybe its just my head too much of everything" Brass" no there is something to it... reia told me today and yeah.. I guess will be expecting a egg eventually >///> I guess I.... we had too much fun one night " Keith" ....* feeling to tired to be excited all he could do was show her a warm smile* ^w^ so were officially a family eheh" Brass" ... - - yeah.. I guess so as she kissed him passionately" Keith" looks like I'll be speed running my bucket list starting tomorrow " Brass" will deal with slayer when the time is right okay " Keith" shaking his head no not even him , I mean getting my fragrance back and facing my past" Brass" fragrance?" Keith" the name of my first chaos Staff back home" Brass" so thats why you never used a staff?" Keith" well not one like kathy's anyway, because I didn't want to hurt someone then lie to myself and help others with it... " Brass" oh boy its gonna heavy week isn't it?" Keith" hmhm.. pretty much brass sat down next to him leaning his on her shoulder - - so got any ideas for names?" Brass" not off the top of my head " Keith" I think I got a few ideas~ " Brass" later , just rest please " Keith" i already home* as he rested his eyes as he had his fingers crossed with hers, until eventually his grip relaxed as he feel asleep* Brass" your too much "



she smiled softly as she kissed him on the forehead

Brass" get some rest, my pink busy bee~ "





after a day of recovering from the fighting, keith and brass took a solo trip to keiths dimension / future , as they walked throug ha damp forest brass only followed keith until they reached what looked like a stump with vines around it and a pole in the ground with it covered in moss and foliage



Keith" ....20 years its been so long since I've touched this spot" * as he grabbed the staff pulling it out of the stump. using his energy he brushed off the excessive dirt and grass that grew on it completely restoring it , as along its roots it started to look healthy again"

Brass" so this was another staff?" Keith" my very first.. the one that I had when I learned to see the way I do, and where my power really felt.. at its core, whole " Brass" what does that even mean?" Keith" I don't know I'm just saying stuff right now" Brass" slaps him in the back of the head aren't we suppose to be seeing a certain someone? T T" Keith" I know I know but.. I just need to grabbed this first cause well sigh " Brass" listen what you did was out of rage and emotional, you changed and you've grown, and dont' forget I'm here okay? as she held his hand tightly Keith" mhm...



wasting no time they went home to his house which looked like it had some additions added, as he walked up to the door, he lightly knocked on the on the door



Keith" oh well maybe there not home anymore lets go~ ^w^ turning around only to bump into brass ;w; " Brass" I think you need to be a little louder " after givingthe door another good knock they waited after backing slightly from the doorway, eventually the door opened as you saw Elise first Elise " maybe we help you?" Keith" umm..yeah I..um.." Elise " !? keith... keith is that really you??" Keith" yeah...its me" as elise walked up to him haha..haha.. my boy you returned* as he hugged him tightly*... Leona! LEONA HES BACK! " Keith" your honestly happy to see me after what I did" Elise".... it was never truly something we could blame you for, you only lashed out towardsa monster that infected her.. I'm only sorry there wasn't anything more I could have done.."



( thud, thud, thud, thud..) walking into view was leona who hada hand wrapped with a cane helping herself balance and so she wouldn't drop it , as she walked up to him raising her hand towards him keith only flinched as he looked away but leona only placed her hand on his head

Leona" you've grown alot since I last saw you... " Keith"...* as tears welled his eyes they ran down his cheeks* I'm so sorry... I'm so so sorry for what I did " Leona" I could never blame you , I was only sad that I was not stronger ti fight against it and I hurt you so much.. my special pink boy as her eyes filled with tears as she dropped to her knees your home... your really.. really home and now I can finally tell you what I wanted to say to you... I always loved you, you were always precious to me, and I'm deeply sorry I was not strong enough to change what hapepned... " as keith jsut embrased her as he cried softly



Brass" ( "sometimes you have to face your fears in order to become stronger" hmmm )... " Keith" so I guess we can start over " Leona" I wouldn't mind that at all " Keith" but your limp I know I.. well maybe I could- she quickly shook her head Leona" no, you don't know need to do anything, this is my punishment for what I did to you, Keith" sigh ... I don't know " Leona" its alright now , your here and we can start truly healing if you want to help lets start from there okay brushing his cheek as she smiled softly I missed you" Keith" I missed you all too " Leona" I see you got the staff " Keith" yeah cause maybe in the back of my mind I was hoping this would work out and now with a clearer heart and mind as keith had his energy fuel the staff it looked l almost like new with the flowers blooming across the head and upper part of the staff I can let th e fragrance grow again" Elise" well I hope you won't midn but we have someone else here who took up space in your room " Keith" huh?"



Elise" its alright kea you can come out and say hello " suddenly from the door way a water enchidna showed herself similar to kay only one of her eyes was covered by the hair she formed for herself the body wasn't solid say as she was still looking to keep herself solid

Keith" kea?

meanwhile

dragon core strong hold

Mayhem"........................" Slayer" yes I know hes gotten the staff, hes finally facing his pace , the boy is growing up " Mayhem" ...........?" Slayer" no, I'm not worried it will still be a couple of weeks before he gets his barrings again however that does not mean we can't speed things along. everyone is looking to have there hands ready for when I drop the bomb shell on all of them as he walked towards a table with plushies of everyone



Slayer" we have the mother of all things in the corner, then the sol family in the other, sonic and the acorn kingdom a there misfits , but then far off hiding away is my spiritual sister prepping her army in the future , so many interesting pieces at work. I want the climax to be something big"

Mayhem"............" Slayer" if I had inferno on my side it would great cause I would able to give him the dragon core pirates and I do more back ground antics but my hands are tied... so...* groans*.... I'm jsut making do, Mayhem"........ ?" Slayer" the demon realm? as much fun as that would be getting the m involved would be like destroying a bee farm and watching them swarm , I don't' think anyone would win in that scenario. but given recent events with sky and wildfire, it doesn't mean I can't leave the door unlocked for one or two individuals as heplaced red spikes around sky

Mayhem"................" Slayer" worried about him hardly, these demons are like nothing but rodents to the reapers, the moment they walk on there door step there will be eaten alive just like xander, I'm only looking to have the best seat in the house using the sky plushie to knock over the spikes while suddenly mayhem placed a wildfire plushie next to him Slayer 'brothers in arms what could be better~ " Mayhem" ............<3' Slayer" T T okay lets not make this weird okay! why is everyone a sexual deviant I swear" Mayhem" suddenly her water form came from the staff as she clenched his shoulders from behind with a devious look in her eyes Slayer" don't call a me that"

suddenly she laid herself out on the table with a seductive pose while turning her liquid body into a milky white ..!@#$#@$@#%%@ <3 <3 <3 "



Slayer" ENOUGH! >///< " Mayhem".... laughing hysterically ...!@#1!! !@#!$! !@#$@%@ " Slayer" easy? I'll show you easy? lets se how easy is it in the timeout corner! suddenly tapped the staff on the ground as the gem started to glow as mayhem started to get sucked in into by force Mayhem" !! O O...* as she held on to the table but to no hope she was sucked back into the emerald" Slayer" not so easy now is it " Mayhem" your mean! ;w; " Slayer" now then I remember I had a meeting with a retired king I needed to meet as he transformed formed back into ragnorak

one day



Castral nation

Sky and wildfire were in a meeting with the president of the kingdom

president " I'm sorry but don't you think your asking a little too much"



Sky" I think we're being fairly reasonable" Wildfire" lets go over the check list again, will do it as many time as we need to. soliciting with pirate terrorists and threatened to kidnap the sol king and or hold the kingdom at ransom if demands weren't met. refusing trade to appease demands for Dragon core pirates , disrupting food and medical trade for the citizens, lying to your public about current events creating a false narrative that the royal family was holding you at gun point for daring to go against the king, and these are jsut the big ones " Sky" even if you want to claim the dragon core held you hostage during these events you still were willing to go to war with us jsut ot keep some sense of power, and your people suffered for it. for months we've had this song and dance, I've with held services and billed you for your actions hoping you would submit and we can turn things around, but no you've tried to stay quiet like your playing chicken, and thinking pass press towards me will make me listen to you " President " I refuse to give to bowing to another king this is the reason we became a nation in the first place " Sky" your people are "Leaving" your nation! services are at a stand still, products are over priced , I'm doing this to stress a point to you , relinquish your association with the D.C accept responsibility and we can finally move things back in working order" President" the sol kingdom will have a grant total of 75% of the global economy if we submit under your rule, the Dragil kingdom is 45% while Vinca and Minatol are 25% combines Sky" things have been broken up the last couple of years yes we're the biggest holdings but thats because much of is organized through the royal family. I'm not reall y fond of having everything under one roof I would prefer independence for the others, Minatol still has independence and so does Vinca, and the sea kingdom but your doing has proven many still have ill contentment for us " President" well when it comes down to hold ing a sense of power, even if your kingdom isn't really known for its military strength one thing remains clear as day , the sol emeralds play a large part in your dominance the dragon pirates hold almost equal to your power, and are iwlling to give just as much as you if not more for less " Wildfire" the dragon core are doing illegal trading across the zones giving you products from mobius and such for a cheaper price for complete dominance , while you sit here believing your sticking it to us your peopel are running around with second rate beast units and terrible health care because.... you don't want to admit you were stupid for working with them, or is it that your fear them? if its the latter we can provide protection that was never off the table" President " it may be a mixture of people however what you ask is just not that simple, The dragon core are growing more and more and soon they will be more then what you can provide so while you stand here on prinicple and paper work they were hold more and more power over you and all of us and even the emeralds won't be able to be enough "



Sky"........ as his hands were clenching tightly " Wildfire" sensing skys frustrations building heavily I'm terrible sorry but perhaps we should take this up another time, again we don't want to strong arm you, but if we an not reach an agreement we wil lbe forced to , "



unpon leaving sky and wildfire were on the ship heading back to the sol kingdom

Sky " punching the wall Ahhhhhh WHY... I hate this so damn much! WHY?! .." Wildfire " easy now easy " Wildfire" taking a smoke himself just let me deal with him from now on" Sky" we have the alliance for areason, we work with other kingdoms for a reason, the fact that some actively see it the sol kingdom as a empire tryign ot collect all the pieces is insane, Wildfire" but thats what he wants. he wants to force you to take measures to force your will onto the kingdom because he knows it will justify his actions even if it woudl be better for the people in the end, but to others " Sky" it would make us look like the villains in the situation, flare already had that with the sea kingdom because of there king refusing to send aid during the war " Wildfire" as sky just rubbed his eyes tiresomely listen.. I'll deal with him , I know his type and I'll get him to come our side " Sky" do I need to give you a raise?" Wildfire" ha ha ha~ only if you insist " Sky" T T - - but in al seriousness, the dragon core are building up there ranks even drako is getting worried , hence whys hes clapping down on them gaining territory " Wildfire" its all a strategy and right now you worry about the dragon core and I'll handle the idiots like him " sky sighed fora moment before walking towards the edge of the rail looking out to sea



Sky" hey wildfire.... I know you've had it rough in the past but,, have you ever been on the front line of war" Wildfire" maybe not by a nation scale but I've had my battles " Sky" its not pretty, things start off small and they build and builds its not pretty, I've see it with the black guard, with eggman nega, with robotnik , and now I think the dragon core is going be coming soon... " Wildfire" are you worried ?" Sky" you know why I let drasgons teach at the school, or good ones to come live with in the kingdom" Wildfire" you didn't want segregation to breed among the peoples view because of the dragon core pirates" Sky" there are good ones and the good ones shouldn't have to be black listed thats not fair" Wildfire" and they won't, however you need to relax, I'll repeat something your mother said, don't pull problems from the future, aall you have right now is today use it wisely instead of worrying it away " Sky" sigh I know "



Wildfire" by the way how are you feeling about... the other thing" Sky" better, I'm better saying with a sigh blaze felt more bad then I did " Wildfire" I'm not surprised, it wasn't something light " Sky" ....one day at a time - - " Wildfire" wild took out a small metal case and put out his smoke hey you know that animation serious got another movie " Sky" what the one about the thief?" Wild" yeah , this weekend I was going to grab poison and we could have a movie night " Sky" tsk, you don't know if I'll be busy " Wildfire" well too bad your gonna be making time for it, the girls get a night out , guys get a night in " Sky" alright fine looks like I don't get a say in the matter" Wildfire" exactly * punching his shoulder, so I'll keep you updated on the president so until then take it easy in ways only you can" Sky" believe me i will, I'm gonna trying out my new gift very soon~ "







arriving back home , sky quickly took his new ice sword to the outer fields for some use while nova was with him as well for some training herself



Nova" do we really have to move our sparring session all way out here now?" Sky" unfortunately, yes and yes you can blame m e for it , causing ever since my out burst with sonic, jack since if I completely ruin the training field one more time hes cutting my paycheck by 75%" Nova" but he works for you, he can do that?" Sky" thanks to certain laws put in place , yes he can and if he cuts back on my pay that cut s down on yours allowance as well , and what I can do also " Nova"

groans so much for being in charge XP" Sky" I know its frustrating nova but in the end I get why, he was upset and why hes pulling rank this one time, you saw what happened Sky" outer wall was broken and the grass got scorched and this and that > > but mom does that same thing " Sky" yes but she keeps it contained to a single area, verses I go alittle overboard " Nova" XP " Sky" besides at least out in the fields, we don't have to worry too much about going overboard , and if we do I can just ask kathy to restore it " Nova" doesn't she ask for alot" Sky" all she wants is to babysit snowfall when we need it " Nova" now I know why you haven't asked me to watch over him " Sky" yessss... cause kathy has been stealing him, but this week you might get your chance to be the big sister again , its gonan be a bit of a girls night out for her and the mothers and a guy s night in for me and wildfire " Nova" oh nice , niyako said hes willing to offer up his tail as a sacrifice so mine can grow back " showing the end of her tail was a bit thin " Sky" well as long as hes not looking fur too " Nova" he said his family does it all the time " Sky" his tail is as big as a rolled up carpet so I'm not surprised " Nova" hehe~ anyway enough chit chat lets get started as she walked back getting some distance between them



sky equipped the glove that was made for the sword jsut as he changed to his wolf form as he grabbed it adding the power to his own



Sky" ,,,* panting heavily he felt a chill even i own breathe aas it gripped it with both hands ..." Nova" you okay?" Sky" you can feel it immediately...! " as nova watched hist body was trembling as the frost was traveling down the glove to his wrist but sky kept the frost at bay not letting go past his arms but as he redirected it the ground around him was getting layered in frost ( if I fount sonic at the time with this, I would have turned him into a ice statue ) ... alright nova stand clear..! winding his arms back as he prepared for a down ward strike, he threw his sword down as such and the force of the swing unleashed a wind of ice that turned into a icy trail that went from the edge of where the sword pointed at the ground all the way down to the beach like a snowy pathway



Nova" o o;; just from swinging it by itself!? maybe jack at a point telling us to leave the castle " Sky" heh.. I know right... okay so are ou ready yourself" Nova " planting her feet firmly on the ground she cracked her knuckles tightening her fists* okay, hit me!" again sky sent a strike down again only this time towards nova with intent, ice immediately filled the air as spiked crystals rushed towards her, but nova starting up immediately as her fire coated her body as he eyes lit up she blasted her fire against the ice that rushed her way ( Fwoooosssshhhhhhh!!!)) (Psssshhhhhhaaaaaaa!!) the moment the elements collided it was like hot ice touching boiling water as a massive steam cloud emerged filling the field, from the distance it looked a massive fog had rolled in from the sea*



Niyako" its both amazing and horrifying how you can just alter the elements the way you guys do" Blaze" and yes as much as you've seen and experienced with us nothing has made you turn away from us , even after that time you wanted me to be serious having her hand on her hip Niyako"

its really amazing yes but I've never been someone to run away, some called me a fool cause of it but I'd rather be a fool who tried then a coward who missed his chance" Blaze" you really are like sky in some ways, are you sure your not related? " Niyako" ahah positive XD for one thing I've never been good with swords hell I get paper cuts easily " Blaze" you poor thing, and here you are becoming part of a clan of reapers how ironic " Niyako" and a fire princess on top of everything" Blaze" don't forget practice is tomorrow as well , I noticed you've been getting little lax " Niyako" well I've been caught up in my work > > and well machines that are extremely heat resistance take time to design" Blaze" relax I'm only testing you, however we might do something alittle different , so don't let your guard down " Niyako" I heard the stuff about your black phoenix form have mercy please he chuckled nervously Blaze" are you making demands are your superior? " Niyako" n-no I just... > >" Blaze" you will learn to be a lion and take the heat is that clear? Niyako as his tears lowered as his tail tucked a bit ;w; ..." blaze" dear I'm only kidding I'm sorry " Niyako" you might want to keep in mind you have a very commanding voice" Blaze" sigh I get it from my mother it seems" = = " Niyako" shaking the tension off >< but I do get you sorry if I can't take a joke " Blaze" I don't blame you I don't exactly look like the joking type now do I?" Niyako" well.. no your alot of things but joking I wouldn't say " Blaze" and yet I like making puns and sky hates it " Niyako" like what " if you can't take the hit , get out the kitchen" " Blaze" more like " this kitten as claws" and a temper to cut you down to size "~ " Niyako" oof " Blaze" eheheh improve was never my strong suit however " Niyako " eheh still its fun" Blaze" I'm sure there having fun right now lets just hope they can - " Niyako&Blaze" keep it chill ayyyyy! XD"

* meanwhile snowfall was latched on to niyakos tail Snowfall " -w- purrrrgg~ "

meanwhile at the mist finally began to clear up there was fork in the ground due ot the fire nova had withstanding the ice as a cold trail of water rushed down to the ocean the pathway was damp and the trail of water was seen on the sand



Sky" holy shit.. and i didn't' even touch anything , just from the sheer force alone" Nova" ( heaven forbid he uses the thing seriously ) ...* looking at her hands even with her fire force her gloves still had a cold sensation over them* well what ever would you expect from a demon blade " Sky" no less as sky quickly placed the sword back in its casing , after letting it go he was able to relax, and as he took the glove off his hand looked as if it had frostbite Nova" Ahh DX you didn't feel that?!" Sky" I felt a little something but I still took my chance trying one attack" nova quickly grabbed his hand trying to warm it up as he slowly started to move his hand normally Nova" maybe you can use the sword power for your own wolf form without touching it it that possible?" Sky" yeah sure I jsut turn in into a back pack and give myself unlimited ice energy" Nova" no different then slayer having the master emerald on his walking stick " suddenly a blade struck the ground near them with a note tied to it * Note" its called a cane , candlelight know the difference "



Sky" I don't need to think about him right now " Nova" so you want to try some normal practice or you want to risk losing your arms :/ " Sky" will do alittle normal practice for now, the sword will have to be done bit by bit, however it will be fun trying it on your mothers new form" Nova" promise me you'll have kathy around just in case > > " Sky" dont' worry wil l pick safe zone for that test run " Nova" great, now with that being said as she summoned her scythe lets have some real practice " Aqua" mind if I join?" Sky" aqua?" Aqua" mom says i need to start improving and well shes making me fight against you more so is it alright if we make it a free for all ?" Sky/Nova " > > / < < Sky" sure lets it if you get knocked to the ground 3 times your out " Aqua" sounds good summoning her scythe to her hand remember no kid gloves " Sky" don't worry I know what I'm dealing with~ "





after a bit niyako went back to the labs to continue working, but he kept thinking about his conversation with blaze



Niyako" ...I'm no good with swords, I easily get paper cuts what the hell was I thinking saying that?! always the worst option I seem to pick... sitting hunched over at his desk ( why the hell me...I can't.. I can't be what they believe I can be... but... turned everything away to do this.. back home I would be nothing, there is nothing left for me there, here I feel like the bar is somewhere I could never reach even if I wanted it, everyone handles me with kid gloves I'm not even..." ( tick!) suddenly a pinch he felt on his tail as he looked behind him as she snowfall was still curled up and kneading his claws against him ( I almost forget you were there, shows how responsible I am...) pulling up his tail and picked up snowfall sitting him on his lap some say you may or may not have a scythe of your own, its a given the fire powers won't pass down.. I wonder will you feel like the way I am right now, or maybe I'm just being a whiner and you'll make the most of it " Snowfall" Yawnn ><..... owo " snowfall picked up a empty bottle as if he was inspecting it , before dropping it. he grabbed a pencil" Niyako" c-care now don't hurt yourself" Snowfall" no-va no-va " as he started swinging the pencil like it was a sword " Niyako" already looking to be like your big sister aren't you ^^ " after one too much swings the pencil went flying out his hand and fell on the floor Snowfall" o o " Niyako" but your still just a little too early maybe stick more with your claws, you know like this started swiping in front of him ha nnyah! " Snowfall* starting swinging his arms* " Niyako "there you go, just like that xD he chuckled softly ....* sighing* if you can just simply pick up a pencil and start trying , there is no reason why I couldn't.. or shouldn't " Nanobyte" perhaps at suggestion"



suddenly behind him nanobyte walked into the room sitting upright with his tail curled

Niyako" nanobyte I didn't hear you at all " Nanobyte" my programming has a feature nova does not utilize often enough, more possibly for a lack of need, however it may serve more a purpose for you" down in the lower basement for the testing grounds niyako and nanobyte were in the practice range while snowfall was in a basket watching

Nanobyte" do you remember the combination feature this model had? " Niyako" something like that yes?" Nanobyte" then this should feel familiar as nanobyte stood firm as his back opened up revealing a motorcycle like seat and where his hind legs and shoulders would open he niyako stepped inside each slot as it closed up as he transformed into a mech suit standing on two Nanoybyte" all system seem to be function perfectly " Niyako" I'm surprised I fit like a glove" Nanobyte" I can adjust manually to the users frame your only slightly bigger then nova" Niyako" heh.. this feels really great what are the weapon checks" Nanobyte" energy claws, boosters, and tail blade " Sky" Niyako" your tail is a sword?" taking control nanobyte detached his tail gripping it as so far above the grip became energized with heat NanoByte" lets test this out " as some practice robots stood in front of him Nanobyte" now attack" * as he ran forward he slashed the targets swiftly if not a bit armature like " Nanobyte" passable" Niyako" just a nice way to saying I sucked "



Nanobyte" once you grow more accustom there is a Xyberlink feature we could test out " Niyako" cyberlink feature?" Nanobyte" connecting the-" Nova" Nanobyte!?" as nova came in finding them both Niyako" nova I though you were with sky and aqua?" Nova" I was the first to get downed DX so I just decided to have a break , then I find you both down here , nanobyte I honestly forgot you had this mecha suit transformation!" Nanobyte" you felt no use for it so I felt no need to suggest it , your powers naturally you were more focused on per-fecting " Nova" > >" Nanobyte" however niyako still feels inferior to you and your family so I offered assistance " Nova" ohh snowy ;w; " Niyako" you didn't have to word it like that I'm not that pathetic! " Nanobyte" then prove yourself " suddenly more practice robots appeared as they charged towards him" feeling pressured at the moment he gripped the sword and started to attacking one robot at a time mixing between slashing away and using his claws in a brawling ling fashion throwing the ones he stunned to the ground Niyako" panting*... " Nanobyte" all targets eliminated " Niyako" talk about a rush - - looking back at nova with stars in her eyes " Nova" you were great XD I'm sorry I let your feature collect dust nanobyte ;w; " Nanobyte" it is illogical to use something you have no use for , however niyako seems to find use in it " Niyako" well... >w> yeah, maybe sort of, kind of " Nova "admit it you felt the rush and you like it" Niyako" blushes lightly " Nanobyte" he has the power" Niyako" shut up D///X Nova" ahahah XD who knows maybe you can even sparr with me like this, ohhhh that will be interesting! :3 I can teach you how to fight and you won't have to worry about getting burnt alive by me or my mom even" Niyako" your tone is very conflicting " Nova" oh you know what I mean XD Nanobyte" I do require more battle data so perhaps it would prove beneficial for all parties involved , I fear I have become more of a house cat then a guard unit " Nova" then its settled were gonna start having sparring practice love as she picked up snowfall in her arms welcome to the family l3 " Snowfall" nuzzles nova " Niyako " heh welcome to the family.. my family as he smiled softly plus I'm sure you'll want to take your toy out for a spin again soon " Nova" well you said another test will be prepared this time the fire artillery will be finished x3" Nanobyte" hmhm nods "





else where



we drop by the vinca kingdom to find pyro and her family getting ready



Pyro" cleaning up terra and talon's clothes and hair okay nice neat and clean, presentable clothes , not exactly matching but well enough > > and will be all set to go" Talon" mom don't you think your taking this a little too far?" Pyro" we're going to meet valissa's boyfriend's parents and I want them to see we are a well mannered family " Slice" I'm sure they know what to expect when it comes to us pyro, there is no reason to be so up tight " Pyro" I don't want them to take one look at us and go " ugh this girl has a band of low life pirates as her family, break up with her now!" I don't want that on my soul ;w; " Terra " we have a crystal spirit, something that is beyond rare, dad is a well retired pirate with enough gold for yours and our retirement I think we have alot going for us for someone to act so shallow towards us :/ " Slice" see even the kids know, plus I've just been hired as a negotiator for the sol king i think we are covered"



Pyro" her ears folded back as she fiddled wiht her hands a bit, slice wrapped his hand around her waist pulling her close hmm..." Slice" slice, will stop back have a short little dinner talk , get acquainted and will be out the door nice, quick and easy" Pyro" just like our sex life l3 - !? shaking her head no bad DX " Terra" well valissa will be here any minute to pick us up I'm sure she had faith in us XD "



meanwhile valissa was with kathy prepping with her family but only she was outside with a paperback hyper ventilating

Valissa" o o..... panting quickly Kathy" coming out and seeing her she snatched the back from her* valissa seriously I do not understand why you stressing. they are your adopted parents and they love you, and you loved them, thats all my parents care about " Valissa" possibly its just that-" Kathy" there is no "possibly" I know they will because there "MY" parents TwT now your going to relax, go get your family, and will have a lovely dinner cause my mom is making a pot roast for the occasion " Valissa" groans.... sigh I'm sorry its kind of a thing from my actual family " Kathy" well that was them this is us now lets go, chin up, chest out, and be proud patting her on the back Valissa" fine fine teleports away Kathy" such a baby I swear" ( kathy can you come help for moment?)



as kathy made her way to the kitchen Elisabeth was busy tryingto slice up a slabo f meat she had on the counter cutting board



Elisa" can you help cut this while I do the greens? I usually get pre-cut lava hogs but I tried to get fresh for the occasion " Kathy" no problem but.. lava hogs?" Elisa" yes from the base of the mountain island wiht the active volcano there are warthogs that hunt on those grounds there bodie s have grown extremely tough due to the conditions, but there meat is great for soups and roasts especially the sulfur lilies " Kathy" sulfur lilies ?? o o as she showed kathy a lily like flower that was black like charcoal but wit ha reddish inner bud Elisa" you should share them with your friend darkfire if you like spicy these were he best things to use" Kathy" okay, I think I'm gonna need a new book to keep track of all this >w> " Elisa" so how was valissa is she excited?" Kathy" more worried you'll hate them "



Elisa" sigh~ family meeting were always never fun especially for me and your father, I remember that day like it was yesterday, he had to bend over backwards just to impress them only because of the echidna branch he was from, they did not approve " Kathy" but it was different for you" Elisa" me? I loved him the moment we met adn even after the horror that was with demon.. changing him hurting you, sigh I was tempted many time to just ....." Kathy" leave?" Elisa" yes.. but . one thing made me stay and have hope, it was only becsue I know it wasn't really him, I.. I knew he was fighting I knew he wanted to love you but that monster wanted to do everything to ruin you, when you ran away I was partly happy you had some spirit but.. it half killed me " Kathy" and dad?" Elisa" well the part of him that wasn't him wasn't as intense anymore then must later when you came back all grown up , with your no power you friends him form that curse with your friend silver xD ... but there was something I never told you " Kathy" that was?" putting the knife down for a moment she sighed as she turned towards kathy

Elisa" all those's memories of him mistreating you , hurting you, it.. destroyed him, he barely could face you, he barely could face me , I was.. he was so dead to the world but I told him it wasn't his fault he was still the man I married and loved , the healing was slow but eventually after we had keen and kay he slowly started to heal and you both were able to make up " Kathy" mhm ^^ Elisa hugs her tightly so I think we can overcome all of that a simple pirate family should be a absolute cake walk " Kathy" I know right >w>



suddenly a chime went off echoing through the house



Elisa" that must b them~ quickly taking the meat and placing it in the oven as she let the vegetables cook on the stove, both her and kathy quickly answered the door hello its nice to see- owo "



* seeing the lot of them huddled together pyro having her hands on each shoulder of the twins trying to look picturesque while slice looked off to the sice slight embarrassed as wel las valisssa just going along with it(



Pyro" hello miss Tivona thank you having us at your home we do hope it was not to ouch trouble" Terra&Talon" Hello thank you for you hospitialty / hospitality " Elisa".......* shut the door* " Kathy" mom?!" Elisa" havinga crooked smirk I didn't think someone could give me PTSD of my uptight prefection-poisoned parents gritting her teeth as she face palmed this is why they never hear from me for the love of enerjak DX " as she was trying to gather herself kathy opened the door again

Terra" its hospitality not hospitial-ty " Talon" they both sound like hospital what's the difference "

Terra" everything T T"

Kathy" hi sorry about that, but mind toning it down just a little bit?" Slice" too much" Kathy" yes* she hissed* Slice" I told her it would be but she insisted" Pyro" first impression's lasting impression" Valissa" heaven help me... "



after elisa gathered herself they were invited inside and a proper introduction was had



Elisa" sorry for that rude display " Slice" its no trouble pyro jsut wanted to makea good impression and she took no chances " Elisa" reminds me of someone else, heh.. but wiht that being said , its nice to meet you both my husband and genesis were in the yard doing little sparring practice themselves and will be inside shortly ^^ in mean time the kids can get antiquated , keen! kay come meet our guests" as keen came from upstairs, and as kay himself was running behind him



Pyro" did you just come from a shower " Elisa" kay your dripping " Kay" ah sorry she raised his hand as the water he left he retracted back to his body I was inside the bathtub " Keen" hello " Pyro" nice to meet you both" Keen " my name is keen and this is kay, hes made of water " Talon" wait like actual water o o " Kay" yes, it is.. a long story but I was made from God of chaos.. and I slowly am learning the ways of living from leo and elisabeth " Elisa" clapping softly but quickly beautiful! your speech has vastly improved " Kay" thank you keen has been showing me alot of audio books and I copy how they speak and it has worked in little ways " Keen" learning though listening worked for me so why not " Terra" now if only you could use it on talon" Talon" hey" Elisa" hehe so keen key why don't you go get your father and let him know our guests are here, and in the mean while why not give tthem a bit fa tour while the adult s talk" Keen" okay~" Talon" wait I forgot we're in the future right? lets see what things exist beyond our existence xD " Keen" well hows a futuristic TV?" Terra" nice! " Valissa" groans... as the kids left the room and ot think there suppose to be a as strong as me one day... " Elisa" we all started somewhere valissa don't be too hard on them, by the way I have to say you both look oddly familiar :/ " Pyro" well if you've met sky and blaze then we should xD " Elisa" are you both related?" Pyro" I'm her twin! XD" Elisa" long lost twin?" Slice" tugs her ear pay n o mind to lassie she just loves to claim that, we're actually that anti counterparts " Pyro" Hmm! XP but yes we're there opposites , blaze is clam respectful and composed and I'm crazy " Slice" sky is mostly guilt stricken and hesitant when it comes to certain acts however I possess no hesitation when it comes to dealing with others " Elisa" oh my so to put it simply there lawful good and your chaotic good xD " Slice" given how far we've come I'll take that " Pyro" how is a pyro maniac good DX I was put in prison " Slice" and you were scared kitten all through out hence why I got you out " Elisa" why were you there?" Slice" ironically I was framed betrayed by own crew - -"



Kathy" he was taken to the zone cop prison " Slice" I've been through alot you could say, but over the years I've made a new crew we gathered some good memories and loot and eventually we went our separate ways, living lavishly I might add he laughed Elisa" well I do wish to hear more but I can already smell the roast so I'll be in the kitchen for the time being~ " Slice" no worries we have all the time in the world " Kathy" see pyro you had nothing to worry about " Pyro" I guess not "





outside in the backyard



genesis and leo were having sparring practice using bladed staffs, as both of them clash one after the other dacing across the field the clinging with each hit upon there final strike an aura of chaos energy explodes around them as if a gust of wind blew the trees and grass back, after a moment leo smiled softly



Leo" your weaponry skills have improved, any more and you'll be able to register as a blade master " Genesis " I wouldn't exactly call using a blade of a staff, sword, sickle, and varies knifes a form of mastery, there still much that exist out side of my knowledge " Leo" that may be true but it doesn't not excuse the fact you qualify for the title, the mastery exam will be coming next season and I believe you'll pass with flying colors this year " Genesis" I won't fail you looking down for a moment " Leo" ??... is there something matter genesis you seem a little... tense " Genesis" ....... I only hope I- ( Dad!) !? as keen and kay came out for them *



Keen" valissa is here with her parents" Leo" we're coming, come on will discuss this further later " genensis nodes as they headed inside greeting everyone



Slice" so your genesis , your a little bulkier then I imagined " Genesis" that may be due o training I've been involved with the last couple of months " Leo" endurance training is something I've helped him acquire and hes some what enjoyed it " Pyro" I hope its nothing too intense " Leo" I've sure you've seen deceptions of many sitting under a water fall , that can do more then you know, imagine having 50 pounds pressing you down while you hold firm for an hour or longer" Kathy" so intense >w> " Genesis" its been great ways for me to clear my mind as well " Valissa" hmmm~ maybe I should have been around more and not away so much " Genesis" you had your duties it is fine * as he sat down, it is nice to finally have the chance to meet you both" Slice" so I know this is gonna be a story session so who wants to go first~ "



Pyro" let the kids go first <3 we already had our song and dances XD " Genesis" I am not sure I would like to-" Pyro" come on genesis its okay we're all family here no small parts~ " Genesis" well if you insist... but I warn its not really... "normal" originally I was created to be a perfect replacement for knuckles as the guardian of the master emerald being infused wiht the power of chaos itself " Slice" in that case why are you yellow instead of green?" Genesis" colorization seems to differ from the individual , mine seems to reflect more on the hero of mobius sonic the hedgehog, but if I wanted to take a guess the form of the energy can play a poart such as posittive or negative energy for example " Leo" that is true I've seen emotions play a part when it comes to aspects of chaos control so that could be a thing "



Genesis " so from finitevus trying to turn me into his tool I wended up fighting with kathy " Kathy" wow that was so long ago >w>... wait um... I know- I fought..yes first it was you and I didn't fight fight you but I freed you from his manipulation and in a way cleansed your mind then doctor fin had a go at me then I put him 50ft in the ground, " Leo" next thing I know I'm busy in my study then elisa yells out " I have a new son " making me spit up my coffee " Kathy" ahahaha XD "



Elisa" it was like the stork came with a new born at our door step, somewhat, yes you were already in your preteens but you were so innocent in the being you were almost like kay only you did develop a bit faster though " Leo" when you first woke up , you said you had no name or no real identity of yourself , all you knew what your name was genesis " Elisa" so we took that and ran with it, we adopted you as our son, making you Genesis Tivona and leo took you under his tutelage " Leo" I was stunned to say the least of his natural skills. even those at the institute were impressed and he wasn't even registered" Genesis" it was no surprise I became a favorite among my peers however I didn't feel right in the public " Leo" yes I think it was too quick , so I personally taught and trained you myself then over the years you changed, you became more confident in yourself and who you are" Valissa" then I came along and well heheh I just tail sways Genesis" oddly enough thanks to valissa my social skills improved > > " Valissa " mhm~ " Genesis " .... clenching his hands a bit Pyro" well it sounds like you came pretty far genesis and I'm happy valissa and even kathy made a big change for you " ( kathy can I help in the kitchen)

Kathy" coming~ " Leo" what about you slice whats you story " Slice" eheh well its as happy for one thing but I'll spare you the harsh details, I grew up with y mmother on a island , we struggled but we had each other for what it was worth... "



in the kitchen



Elisa" this pot roast is taking everything of me can you finish out the cup cake batter? " Kathy" okay sure! as kathy quickly got to stirring and pouring into the baking pan plus I get to lick the spoon l3 " Elisa" kathy do you sense anything off with genesis?" Kathy" sigh ... I do its hard for me not to read his mind but he feels somewhat distance from everyone else , even thought we love him al lthe same " Elisa" even when you freed him , being born a tool and never having a real form of growing up, its like a child that never got to be one. and we're seeing the effects " Kathy" has he ever said anything before" Elisa" no hes always kept up a good front hes polite helpful he loves leo, he loves mom, keen sometimes.. feels alittle intimated but he got over it luckily and he helped kay on occasion , honestly I think him and kay got along more then what we know " Kathy" yeah I can see that" Elisa" but I don't want him to feel like he doesn't belong " Kathy" maybe.. he feel pressure trying to be something great for all of us " Elisa".... maybe pulling him aside will be good, I don't want this to ruin dinner for him, I'm making all of this for the both of them, I want him to feel at peace " Kathy" okay "





Pyro" and then the jail break happened and he rescued me ;w; " Slice" such a innocent soul she was, like a scared cat hiding away in a den of dogs I couldn't leave her " Pyro" XP...* hugs him* then years later we became a family, I'm too chicken to give birth to my own kids so we adopted "

Leo" child birth is no small task you shouldn't belittle yourself" Pyro" I know but... its like you want to ride a bike but your too scared to get on so I just sick with the alternative > > a scooter " Valissa" interesting analogy "



Leo" ( Kathy" dad, quick talk ) ??" Genesis" how did your other crew turn out ?" Pyro" well I can say thing kepf as my favorite even if she always smelled like whisky , actually i think kathy would hate her , she was always drunk , and if she wasn't drunk she was drawing charts for us to follow XP"

Leo" hold that thought , genesis there something I for to dress with you , please give us a moment " with no hesitation leo and genesis walked towards the back book den SLice" you know the twins have been awfully quiet > > "



inside the den



Leo" sorry for that bit ofa lie but I needed an excuse to pull you away " Genesis" was there nothing the matter " Leo" yes this is regarding earlier , kathy has been sensing alot of mixed feelings from you and I believe you have something thats worrying you, Genesis".... its nothing of any great concern.. " Leo" if its enough for kathy to bring it up then it is, you can tell me , I won't be upset" Genesis" .... I'm.. I don't want to disappoint you and I feel the mastary exam coming soon will Ibe enough, I have so much potential you speak of but all Iknow that I'm doing is wanting to protect what important to me and..you all are important to me but everyone outside is..its overwhelming but I pushed forward for your sake I don't want to sound like I'm complaining its been- " suddenly leo just hugs him tightly*



Leo" its hard ot keep much from me, I read your mind and.. maybe I was little excited about the exams but there were things I tended to forget, you are like kay in a way, your still young in heart in mind, and you may mature faster but your still coming into your own, and I'm sorry if I was being alittle pushy with things, I'm jsut.. your a mult-tool of talents and I wanted to be sure you have them all sharpened. but in the end your free to do things at your pace, at your choice, all I want is for you to be prepared is all, nd as for the mastery exam it will be there next year if you want to wait. you have nothing to prove to me , this is your home" Genesis".... as tears well ed inhis eyes, he took a deep breathe as he composed himself... th-thank you I... I think I feel alot better now as he smiled softly " Leo" thats most important"



( KIDS!!)

suddenly hearing pyro yell out , they rushed outside only to see kay was tall as the house



Terra" yeah remember when I said I wanted to try out water magic , I'm still learning how to turn it off " Talon" I told her to let me do it, we wanted to see if kay had a limit " Keen" he didn't want the garden to be flooded > >" Pyro" You...Youuu!! " Genesis" heh..hehe..ah ah ah..! xD" Valissa" well at least genesis getting a laugh out of this " Kay" don't be mad at them they just wanted ot have some fun " Leo" yes kay but now your a giant Slice" so now what, can't jsut empty himself of the extra?" Talon" maybe he can water the forest " " Terra " and scare the animals like its a rain storm in the day time? Kathy" how about I handle this here kay as kathy made a portal that looks liked a ocean on the other side key would put his hand through it and let out the extra water until he shrunk down to his normal size* Talon" thats cool " suddenly valissa hit them both in the head Valissa" as much as I want to praise you for using water spells please don't fill up our guests like a water tank T T " Talon&Terra" sorry " Kathy" sigh so with that being said maybe w e should all come in and enjoy a nice dinner hows that?" Terra&Talon" Food form the future! " Valissa" facepalm... groans " Slice" don't you love family "



crisis averted everyone gathered inside for the roast



* as everyone came inside , kathy helping set out the table with the main dishes being front and center and the table ware being decorative with flower based plates , as everyone each got a nice helping of the soup *



Slice" so what are we having for this evening ~ " Elisa" Lava hog pot roast , with cinnamon bread sticks " Terra" wouldn't cinnamon bread work better with sweet stuff?" Elisa" normally yes, but lava roast tend to be alittle spicy, but I made a more mild version since your new, and the cinnamon goes well with the toned down flavor its almost like a sweet and sour sort of mix or rather a sweet and spicy " Slice" well interest I'm sure pyro already loves it xD" Pyro" hm! this is amazing ;w; " Leo" ( ususally big meals like this we say grace first but everyone seems to have started) " Kathy" ( it will be fine, will let it slide this once ) Leo" -w- " Genesis " I think saving grace before our food would be appropriate before indulging? " Pyro" o o... heh your actually right I'm very sorry.. "



Genesis" its nothing too bad, "Bound by life, body and soul, we thank the chaos for the bounty we are given before our home blessed the work and beasts used to prepare, and in this night we we fully thank and share " thank the chaos " ( thank the chaos )



Valissa" ^w^ there we go * as everyone was taking there helping as they all enjoyed there meals

Elisa" so valissa kathy told me you were rather worried about our reaction to your family , we were already well antiquated with you I'm not sure why you were so worried?" Valissa" sigh call it old habits from my past parents -w- " Elisa" seems to be a running theme tonight doesn't it... "

Valissa" I've told terra and talong about them from this far so this is nothing new " Terra" basically if you want to date someone doesn't matter who" Talon" you have to earn that right too xP from your parents " Leo" you have to earn the right to date someone? isn't that rather..normal" Valisss" for you guys its when it come to marriage parents have more say so... somewhat with us even dating was strict. I remember a boy I liked it he was takign the same casting lessons as me, he was interested I sort of went along with it " Slice" did you even like him " Valissa" I was too buried in my lessons to see if I liked anyone but, helped me learn some stuff I was having trouble with so I went with it, I asked my dad for us to have a gathering and he said no " Elisa" why?" Valissa" heh get this, his parents were from the east islands which were made to be the top 5 in spell casters so pretty high on the tier list, since they were the 5th he said no, they had to be top 3" Slice" tsk, wow... perhaps it was good you weren't that emotionally invested " Valissa" we could still be friends but nothing more but seeing things couldn't go further he felt like I hurt him and needed some distance " Elisa" but that wasn't your fault" Valissa" no, but shapeshifters took everything to heart nothing was low key and everyone just thought os highly of themselves... I wish I saw it sooner " Leo" what happened with your people, I remember kathy said you unleashed something on your home" Valissa" sigh I don't like covering it so I'll keep it short. I was arguing with my dad about going to mobius that the council as well as others wanted to expand and they would out right kill everyone who didn't meet there standards , saying they were worthless... I couldn't take there god complex nature anymore, thats when I took terra and talon wiped there memory and sent away to a orphanage in the sol kingdom they were still much less babies so I knew they were saved, then since I was such a well known caster among my peers I went to the locked vault found every forbidden summoning spell I could and unleashed everything and left, letting the armageddon destroy them all " Genesis" so pure genocide" Valissa" basically -w- Pyro" that's hardcore honestly " Valissa" hmmm.. eventually I took the form of a mercat and created my own pocket space where I collected things from different realms I liked or creatures I saved, eventually I got a name for myself, called "the collector " and the rest is history "



Leo" thats quite the burden you hold seeing you , holding such a heavy how did ou keep yourself together " Valissa" .... I had... days I would break down killing everyone I knew sending my siblings to Chaos knows where hoping they will have better life eventally I started using speels to block my own memories , which turned me to into rther not nice person > > I became what I wanted to get rid of , days the spell would ware off I noticed things about myself that changed and I promised to face my demons and deal with it , at the end of the day I know hell is all thats left for me " Kathy" don't say that ;w; I know its not fun what you did , and thinking of everyone that got killed but if they were going ot come here and kill everyone you might have saved many more then you think" Terra" kathy is right, if they did come and kill everyone , we would have met slice or pyro, " Talon" or even nova or the other kids at the school , we'd be jsut bullies like them XP " Terra" and I wouldn't have have azul ;w; " Valissa" thank you that does help " Leo" sorry for my curiousity but have you ever gone back to that zone?" Valissa" I was forced to, cause some treasure hunters went in looking for something, and nearly got killed by one of the summons , the world looked exactly how imagined lifeless, devoid of life itself , husks walking around like zombies and no way for them to get out -w- eventually there energies wil lfade completely and there be nothing left " but a empty void " Leo" its a shame you all must have had such a vast array of knowledge on-" Valissa" I got my own library I can let you see some of the books if you wish, but you'd spend more time translating then reading it " Leo" I'll take that as a challenge "



Valissa" okay sure clapping her hands together she opened a portal that looked likea blue cyan sphere then reaching inside it like a pocket she pulled out a standard sized book with different symbols over it this is one of our basic spell books have fun sleeping it across the table to him Leo" o o....* even as leo tried to touch it the foreign energy coating the book reacted to his chaos energy like static, as he opened the book suddenly he noticed the pages were blank* Leo" the pages are blank"

Valissa" oh! sorry thats a fail safe I have if anyone tries to steal from me snapping her fingers then suddenly like a faded test the working and diagrams reappeared Elisa" wonderful I know I'm going to have to lonely nights for the next week " Kathy" mom >< " Pyro" eheheh always when they get a new toy or trinket " Talon" you sure your not stronger then kathy?" Valissa" oh I know I'm stronger shes just able to keep up with me " Kathy" cough! I'm sorry you wanna to run that back?" Valissa" I'm just little more humble thats all she can take the crown cause I don't want it " Kathy" as her eyes just beamed in on her Elisa" girls please not during dinner time Slice" ahahah come on who doesn't love a good cat fight " Pyro&Leo" not when it involves my daughter DX " Pyro" ha! jinx " ( Ding!)



Elisa" Ohhh~ would you look at that the cupcakes are done! valissa why not help me decorate them~ I did make these for you and genesis specifically ^^ " Valissa" are you sure- elisa teleported valissa out of her seat holding her by the collar of her top Elisa " I insist~! dragging her away

Pyro" well despite everything I feel I can say it was fun coming here and seeing all of you your home is lovely, this place is very nice, I didn't think I would miss the ocean air " Leo" some of the ocean here are fairly beautiful perhaps maybe one day we can take a trip to the surface " Pyro" yeah could be fun X3 " Slice" but um before we close off this little visit kathy told me you were a weapons specialist and you would be interested in little sword play " Leo" well if you have something to show I wouldn't mind " Terra" yeah sword fighting XD"



in the kitchen they cupcakes were just about finished one set with yellow icing and another with blue Elisa" for the life of me you both fight like siblings yourselves >< " Genesis" but it only shows how close you both are as genesis came it into the kitchen " Valissa" sorry for that display, my roots were coming out > > " Genesis" I'm sure you'll be able to make up to kathy eventually" Valissa" hey I was being nice" Genesis" your doing it again" Valissa" aghhh DX " Genesis " eheh handing her hand tightly* thank you for everything valissa " Valissa" o///o as he leaned his head against hers as she started ot purr softly heh.. y-your welcome~ Elisa" precious~ <3



to be con.

back in the sol kingdom as the day finally came to a close



sky and blaze were in own quarters , as sky was sitting on the edge of the bed waiting for blaze, as she returned looking like she was mentally drained *



Sky" hey, you alright" Blaze" I have... certainly been better" Sky" was the food too much" Blaze" ?! it wasn't hard to spot was it* whipping her mouth* Sky" nova wanted to take a bath and you spent alot of time in there so I had a feeling " Blaze" heh.. .I'm eating eye balls I have my limits I couldn't take it it it just.. was too much she chuckled softly as she held her head you can't blame me can you?" Sky" no no I can't we all have our limits" Blaze" hmm.. leaning her head on his shoulder as she sighed heavily* Sky" you sure your okay, or is it him... " Blaze" I think...it wasn't even his remarks against you that stuck with me but... he called me nothing but a vessel for the goddess , as an insult something I never would have considered I didn't feel just insulted I felt..hurt " Sky" holding her hand tightly* I can understand why though... " Blaze" I've had comments thrown around... people were fearful for me for my power but.. the idea of belittling me that I was nothing , that was something new and.. Ididn't know how to take it. on top of him acting like our relationship was nothing I- Sky" hey maybe its best we finally let him go, I don't want him staying in your head all the time as he pulled her down on top of him he was a piece of shit the fact that wildfire came to me so sincerely and caring no jokes no side car comments and even he hugged me when I broke down that was something I never would have expected from him " Blaze" color me surprised too >w> " Sky" I sort of have a whole new respect for him after that Blaze" even alicia was still a bit livid nuzzling his cheek I wouldn't wish that on anyone... " Sky" mhm... I love you " Blaze" I love you too my king always" Sky" and forever stroking her tail softly as it curled around his wrist " Blaze" so are you both going to be drinking buddies now she laughed* Sky" don't be funny" although I will be going to the castral nation with him in another day so our dynamic might be a bit more in sync after all this " Blaze" aww look at you both growing closer every day" Sky" pinches her butt Blaze" ah~! you know I'm right " Sky" still "

in that moment the both of them started messing around as they tossed adn turned in the bed for a bit before sky threw the covers over both of them as sky wrapped his arms around her waist tightly



Sky" hmm~... ?! suddenly sky noticed tears welling him her eyes again as he softly wiped them away kitty...whats wrong.. what is it that is eating at you? I never saw you so bothered like this* Blaze" gritting her teeth she buried her face in his chest I was furious. I was beside myself, I wanted ot bury him to nothing I tried to kill him make him disappear... and fro him to just walk it all off and say my anger, my love for you my passion for you was nothing, compared to his lust for you it just made me felt guilty about how... how I took your feelings for granite the stuff with sonic, the fact I dragged my feet with giving you an answer, I was questioning everything I felt like.. was everything just out of guilt? as she cried softly please..forgive me , I'm sorry..(sniff) I'm so sorry " Sky" hugging her tightly... blaze... you never needed to apologize you were still young as was I , we were all still growing and learning and didn't know how to handle certain feelings adding on everything else in between " Blaze" but is that really an excuse?" Sky" just being near you was enough, working with you was enough, I was happy jsut being at your side, people call me a lap dog but in reality I was sometimes I hated it because I wanted ot be more but at least the times you were nice, you gave me a smile , you were there for me I ... it was enough" Blaze" climbed on top of him don't lie, tell that to a girl and she'll fall apart no one wants to be just enough, if you truly wanted to be selfish you wanted me, you wanted me and I made you sit here and wait and I was over thinking sonic's actions towards me , sre things are better now but I think of time wasted "



Sky" but look at us now, look at what the kingdom has become look at what we've become, sure we spent alot of time on nonsense but thats just life isn't it? we can't help it, I have you, I have nova, I have snowfall, I have my parents, I'm slowly rebuilding my clan the reaper clan is honestly coming back together , I've reclaimed something that honestly would have been lost forever.. brushing her cheek I...I don't think this would have happened with anyone else, not kathy, not sally it.. it had to be you from what I've seen " Blaze" laying her head on his chest your idolize me too much, I was just a princess with a temper fighting a war at a front liner " Sky" maybe it was that temper I liked, again sonic was always so chill so relaxed, sally was encouraged by him to be the same as was everyone else, no one shared my passion then there was you. sonic tried to infect you with his stupid philosophy but you stayed true and thats why I loved you, you even saw my outbursts towards him and you understood why, I was just happy someone saw him for what he was, "finally I'm not crazy!" I thought " Blaze" chuckles "



Sky" everything you are I love, everything you do I loved it was refreshing in this world and in reality sometimes I always believed I wasn't suppose to live this long " Blaze" you always thought you were going to die in battle am I right" sky" mhm... just another body on the pile, my only desire was that... I made a difference in some way.. " Blaze" well I promise you, you have you saved me from a horrible arranged marriage with Vice, rekindled my relationship with my mother , the sol kingdom is thriving and jointed with the others , we even have a iconic school teaching adn training future warriors for the kingdom, heck we even have robot beasts that protect the people and help us , something I would scoff at you if you told me years ago, " Sky" lets not forget your more lighthearted you joke you laugh you have fun~ " Blaze" at the expense of you being more hardened which I did not like " Sky" still xD we fixed it " Blaze" heheh yeah we did ^^ "



as he crossed his fingers with hers, laying on there side he nuzzled into her himself this time burrying his face in her chest as he sighed softly



Sky" if I had to do it all over again as long your there it would be worth it " Blaze" enough with the idolizing there is a reason everyone teases you " Sky" XP hmmm! bites her chest Blaze" hey! you know I'm right " Sky" hmph " Blaze" but in the end.... I wouldn't want anyone else but you too.. thank you sky, for everything, " Sky" thank you too, letting out a long yawn....ugh " Blaze" looks like someone is getting tired " Sky" no I'm just old " Blaze" you are not- groan if your old what am I? Sky" ,,,,matured " Blaze" hits him with he pillow your such a child* Sky" heheh ah ha ha ha ha x'D Blaze" ha ha ha ha ha~ haa.. by the way do you really plan to use that ice sword darkheart gave us?" Sky" I hope so~ " Blaze" just try not to turn the sol kingdom into the ice kingdom" Sky" will get alot more polar bear residents though" Blaze" that's not the point " Sky" eheheh I'll be careful " Blaze" hmhm laying her head beside him lets go to bed" Sky" hmm yeah.. good night my fire flower~ " Blaze" night my blue Reaper " Sky" tsk blue reaper has ring too it l3 " Blaze" well how else can you make a reaper sound like a pet name, " Sky" ehhh its all good its the principle of the matter kisses her passionately Blaze" <3 your too much... " Sky" good night <3

" Tails" you know I think I can make a translator if that will save you " Velvet" don't bother I can charge rouge more ha ha ha~ XD " seeing her chuckle a bit left tails and fiona little worried as tails quickly whispered to fiona



Fiona" you know fiona when was the last time you can midnight actually went on a date? " Fiona"... well there was the go-karting we did with the others" Copy" that was month ago, we still need to do that again >w> " Fiona" I mean like just you and him alone " Fiona"..........well its not like we don't hang out I help him with yubi and.. " Tails" apart from baby sitting his sister " Velvet" well..we.. um ..I guess ...." Fiona" I think you need to give this so called self made job you have a break, its turning you into a 9 to 5-er and it s showing" Velvet" I'm not a kid anymore I can handle it " Fiona" velvet your 15 you don't have to grow up fast " Velvet" I'm fine mom " Fiona" you don't sound fine, you sound overworked but I don't think your doing anything for yourself, " Cody" mom is kind of right, you barely come online anymore " Velvet" ...* suddenly her ears followed back as she has noticed a lot she overall stopped* alright fine..maybe babysitting has taking all my free time , after I got over the scares of watching this alien I turned it into learning all I could to make the work easier, I kind of dropped off with playing games since nova would only piss me off anyway, everyone else has there issue trying to better there powers and stuff , I'm not exactly working on anything special at least I can help about the house in some ways, why not be the money maker for everyone " Tails" velvet you shouldn't feel like you have to take on that responsibility, sure everyone has something on there plate but thats them not you , what do you want?" Velvet" well its not like I don't know what I want , I like-...I like midnight and the stuff he does, I want to be part of his world more helping him is well something I enjoy " Velvet" why don't you sound happy then?" Velvet" guess I guess the babysitting thing has become our only time to hanging out and never bothered asking him on anything else..." Tails" I see, so all time with him as become work related and its probably soured your relationship a bit, I wonder if hes feeling the same way" Velvet" I don't know he never says anything" Fiona" have you asked?" Velvet"........." Tails" maybe you should " Velvet" ...I guess, I can" Fiona" and maybe give this money making gig a break its turning you into something I don't like I know your good at managing like me but that shouldn't your whole life, otherwise you'll grow up a secretary " Velvet" I hear that make good money~ " Fiona" velvet T T" Velvet" okay okay >< I'll try so ease up on my work load "



online

Velvet" midnight? you here" Midnight"...." Velvet" ......" Midnight" sorry I was away ," Velvet" no no its okay~ hey you got a second" Velvet" sure " going into a video call Velvet" look um.. I don't beat about the busy , do you think our relationship has grown kind of...stale? " Midnight" h-how? I mean I know we are busy and stuff but my feelings haven't changed " Velvet" well, thats a positive thing to hear at least XD eheh but my parents thing I'm letting work over take me, my life is becoming " how to handle and alien baby" and I think we need to ease up on it and start having a relationship again" Midnight" to be fare my mother was always joking calling us teen parents with ruby , at first I wasn't sure how to think about that but later on I thought about it more and more and how maybe she had a point, it was... weird, " Velvet" how?" Midnight" you had such a badgirl personality to you but the more we finally figured out how to handle yubi you were starting to become more business like, more focused and suddenly ifyou were tired ,from our little gig you were busy with school to other stuff with the money you were making off my mom , you seemed like you were enjoying it so what could I say > > " Velvet" sinking her chair ... ( I suck as a fucking girlfriend I go from a bad girl l to my mom to leeching off my boyfriends parents , I'm surprised kathy hasn't struck me dead dead yet DX )... groans I don't want to be boring secretary! I want to be a bad bitch like my mom was" Midnight" careful saying that out loud " Velvet" look its... I just your cool midnight I want to learn more stuff about you , do things with you I wanted to maybe..." Midnight" ??" Velvet" maybe at some point I wanted to be an agent like you, no lie your mom's work is kind of cool > > " Midnight" you want to be a government agent? " Velvet" yeah why not " Midnight " well I'm kind of in this cause I'm an experiment > > I don't know if I would choose this life willingly " Velvet" your not exactly fighting against it to leave it " Midnight" yeah but..." Velvet" is it the overlanders?" Midnight" no no >< there not bad, we've been getting alot of new blood in the solenna recruitment and mobians alike the ranks are welcoming towards both and they treat everyone with respect " Velvet" well thats good to know at least " Midnight" but going back on the agent thing I kind of did want to do "some" things with you like for one thing if you want I could take you to the shooting range and maybe we could go for a drink after, an- and by drink I mean a slushie or something! not alcohol " Velvet" eheh I get it XD " Midnight" -w- " Velvet" sure I wouldn't mind it will be fun I'm sure I'll learn alot~ as her tail swayed Midnight" smiles softly um heh great so I'll see you maybe around lunch " Velvet" sounds like a plan~ love you" Midnight" I love you too" as both of them closed the call both of them sighed heavily in relief Velvet&Midnight" ( Yay so we're actually still a couple DX ) "



following later on



we cut to velvet and midnight at the G.U.N shooting range a hand full of people were around, so it wasn't completely vacant*



Velvet" kind of busy isn't it " Midnight" you should see this place on the weekend alot of the men come here to practice and take up like half the staffs before going drinking 2 hours later " Velvet" I see :/ ... Midnight" but enough about that you said you wanted to learn ot use a gun " Velvet" y-yeah but >w> is there a like a level one I can start with? cause everything I'm seeing around... is looking alittle advance for me " Midnight" well" Omega" if you are looking for level one then you are in the wrong location. as omega approached them from behind everyone weapon grade here is scaled to be shoot to kill or higher just as it should be, there is no duck hunt here T T" Midnight" omega everyone starts off with the handgun class or classic revolvers , you know that " Omega" relics " Midnight" you literally tried to get ruby to learn how to use a hand gun " Omega" because it is a relic relics are simple to understand interns of functionality " Midnight "not for a baby! " Omega" you have to learn to dash before you can crawl " Midnight" its run before you can walk " Velvet" as entertaining as this is, maybe omega is right , its not like I'm not unfamiliar with certain weapons , I mean my dad used a buster cannon, Omega" even the fox understands basic knowledge " Midnight" I don't know velvet" Velvet" alright omega what should I start with "

as they got velvet set up at a booth



Omega" if you are looking for something to start off, using the Auto M-1 would be a adequate introduction" * giving velvet a hand gun with a auto fire rate, as she held it tightly with both hands on the target Midnight" sorry but my senses are screaming right now if I don't do this as he walked behind her enclosing her around him as he took the gun from her hands showing her , this is the safety lock, (Click).. this is how you unload taking the ammo out. lock it back in click push it until it snaps (Snaps!) , you pull back until you hear it click ( Click), the turn the safety off on the side , , grip it like you did before and your ready "



all while during that show she blushed lightly feeling him around her

Velvet" heh got it >////> bracing herself as she took aim towards the target it as he planted her feet firmly and fired ( Tatatatatat!!) only for her arms to fly back from the recoil Midnight" ><! " Velvet" ooowww... >< " Omega" simple to wield is it not " Velvet" you could have warned me about the recoil you rust bucket! " rubbing her shoulders Midnight" alright lets start another type*

standard 6 round revolver, to a hand gun, , the heavier the ammo the harder it was for her to have a steady hand but her aim was was still good regardless Omega" you r understand seems to be improving perhaps we can advance to more other classes , may I suggest a shot guns next" Velvet" so Ican dislocate my shoulder , in case you didn't notice omega my arms are noodles right now I think I should build up first?" Omega" fair enough , but do not expect me to wait for you t o finally reach the level of skill that will make you a worthy adversary as he walked away Velvet'......" Midnight" don't mind omega he has no patience for anyone" Velvet" I noticed but excluding the complaints from the robot I feel this was really fun xD" Midnight" hehe..sort of yeah , say since you have good handle on the base model want to see if you beat me ina gallery test? best top score wins~ " Velvet" hey your on XD"



a few short games later midnight won most of there games but velvet did comes close nearing the end

Velvet" its way harder then the games like to make it appear to be ><;; " Midnight" its night and day different, but once you build up some muscle he will start feeling no different " Velvet" yeah well will see, or I could just be like my brother and control a robot and call it a day" Midnight" thats the lazy way " Velvet" lazy but effective, work smarter not harder " Midnight" hmph~ " rubbing hi s arm a bit* well it has been over 2 hours , maybe we can finally go and get those slushies I mentioned before?" Velvet" yes xD "



continuing on wiht there plans velvet adn midnight stopped b y a smoothie shop offered slushies, each of of them wiht there respective flavor of choice they say down at one of the tables



Velvet" you know my mom was right, I was focusing so hard on the money part of our gig I think w e jsut turning into a boring working couple > >" Midnight" you seemed content so I didn't want to disturb the waters" Velvet" hey don't be afraid to speak up, I can make mistakes you know, I like us being.. this . not not what I think we became the last couple of weeks " Midnight" a 9 to 5 relationship?" Velvet" basically . " Midnight" mom didn't like it cause she thought we were turning into what her and dad use to be at one point " Velvet" I thought your did always loved your mom" Midnight" yes but more in a "your my partner" king of way then a "lover" my dad was very.. hardcore I think after I came into the picture , and mom sort of got accustom to taking care of me and learning to be a parental figure it changed him in some ways , at least that's the vibe I get " Velvet" how do you think it would have been if you hadn't come along?" Midnight" I don't think ruby would have made it " Velvet" ohh... " Midnight" i don't know is it wrong to think they don't come off as the loving type, I mean I know otherwise because I " know them" but on the surface level it doesn't look like it holding his head Velvet" people said the same thing about lein-da and jack but there pretty into each other from what I heard, and even knuckles and julie-su , Lara-su is plenty happy with them "



Midnight" I suppose that makes sense - - " Velvet" does your mom still treasure hunt ? " Midnight" when she can make the time for it yes, thanks to us watching ruby she had even thought she was going to take over more" Velvet" hey I had no complaints I've been more of a bread winner at home thanks to her XD" Midnight" meanwhile our relationship suffered " Velvet" well I don't want ot say that, I know we got sidetracked but we're course correcting so I think we can already salvage lost time , unless you want to turn back time she chuckled Midnight" I'm good thanks "





after the shop velvet and midnight stopped by the park, taking a moment to relax and enjoy the scenery something wasn't feeling right at least for velvet



Velvet" why am I not enjoying this as much as I should be? DX " Midnight" why is something wrong?" Velvet" I guess I feel like I should be doing something " Midnight" !? my mother had a name for that , she calls it work-isum " Velvet" workisum?" Midnight" yeah, where everything you do is related to some kind of task or job your preforming, and when you have a moment to relax or your hands aren't busy with something you feel weird about it " Velvet" alright but how do you get rid of it " Midnight" you sort of have to ignore it and recognize when you've worked hard enough , thats the only way to get rid of it " Velvet" I never thought I worked myself that badly, I thought I was just doing the normal thing" Midnight" after a while sure but eventually too much can start taking its effect" Velvet" but cody is always in his room working on something XP he doesn't have it " Midnight" I'm pretty sure kiara forces him to stop eventually, Velvet" yeah, forces him.. meanwhile I encouraged it with us fumbling with her hands as she looked down with a tinge of guilt Midnight" you didn't no, and I just followed along assuming you were happy with the situation, plus I can't deny the help with yubi at times was.. appreciated. remember when she nearly flooded the bathtub? Velvet" and the only reason I heard it was because she was singing and the bath soap filled the air meanwhile you were still out like a light " Midnight" yeah you saved us greatly that day rubbing his head " Velvet" how about the oven bomb?" Midnight" we wanted to make a pizza from scratch she somehow got around us both, dumbed a shit ton of yeast into the batter and we didn't noticed " Velvet" it took two days to clean the oven out " Midnight" yeah so we had some fun moments and no so fun moments, I tried to take them with some sort of stride " Velvet" meanwhile I think I was just trying to figure out how to make it easier for us, hell I was even learned her stupid alien speak " Midnight" heheh" Velvet" I know ick means yes , Nabi mean no , She Chuchu mami is... uhhh.. where is food I think... ehh " " Midnight" don't try so hard, I don't want this to be a skill set for you Velvet" hell why the fuck not if black arms ever come to mobius I can be the first official translator I'll make bank off that alone XD" Midnight " pressing his hand on her head* you don't have to worry so much about money, why are you so hooked?" Velvet" money gets things moving, its not like I want to be a spoiled rich kid, its just , stuff my dad does, and cody it.. well I know he could do more if he had more so if I can help it I will, my dad is a genius and so is cody, I'm just well... sigh never mind* I sound like a stupid special needs brat putting her feet up as she crossed her arms Midnight" are you trying to make yourself stand out?" Velvet" ........." Midnight" I think you already do " Velvet" ....* having her arms crossed still sitting in silence" Midnight" I think your doing fine velvet , with well a bunch ot things, your great at organizing, you helped me with yubi, your manage money to the point your helping your parents and your brother, personally I think you should take a step back and give yourself time to breathe, " Velvet" .....*sighing heavily* I know maybe I felt so .. small compared to everyone else.. " Midnight" comparison is the thief of joy" just do what your good at and focus on those that matter to you only.. my dad tries to be a protector of the world cause hes the ultimate life form, and I was created from him and rouge's DNA to ape him but personally I don't care about any of that, I just want to live, I fight to protect you guys , my family is important where I live is important, and .. your important and I think keeping it in perspective can help holding her hand tightly " Velvet" hmm.." Midnight" never mind the world and its pedestals people want to be on, there all nothing in the end its all a means to an end, but at least when I look at you nova and the others, I feel like I'm apart of something thats ever landing, and thats enough for me " Velvet".... hmm closing her eyes as she took in his words, she sat up yeah..maybe your right but we all still have goals and dreams, you might be complete, but I still want to be a agent and thats gonna take some amount of effort" Midnight" as long as your not trying to be an alien translator and a book keeper at the same time I'm all for it " Velvet" well in my off time I might sticking her tongue at him just to spite his concern Midnight" puts on a smile as he laughed softly Velvet" so whats next on the list since we're just goofing off at this point" Midnight" the goth store got some new stuff in I wanted check out " Velvet" the witches den? I've been meaning to go there! " Midnight" then lets not waste time" Velvet" cool~ " Midnight" also is alright if I try something" Velvet" like what?" suddenly midnight picks her up in his arms, causing her to blush lightly Midnight" I don't fly as often as I should, so maybe I should make more of an effort"

Velvet" and you wanted to carry me??" Midnight" why not?" Velvet" look wing away wit ha bashful expression careful I don't get use to it ~ pressing her hand on his chest Midnight" if I make you air sick enough you won't ask flapping his wings as he took off Velvet" your an ass you know that..! as she held on to him tightly while having a hint of laughter in her voice , as they made there way to the shop







moving right along, we cut away to killer's castle in silvers future the backyard party was already underway, a large amass of people had showed there faces , the decor was more halloween i like and less garish like killer would like, wit ha lively batch of music on the DJ thanks to rabbi the masquerade party was going swimmingly



Mephlies" I must say , we have a bigger lot then I was expecting" Killer" yeah..no shit I was betting at least 30 heads but I see a max of 50 " Mephlies" I suppose we're more popular then we realized " Killer" or killa-su and maverick are, what exactly do you do when I'm not looking? Mephlies" apart from showing face for certain economic endeavors, I have shown interest in landscaping and preservation for angel island, Killer" that would explain all the echidnas here "



killers mask was that of a black winged angel with red highlights on the wings , while mephlies was a crystal laced design only silver and red with in the crowd melantha had a rabbit like mask , wit ha red pigment round the eyes* meanwhile rabbi working the DJ had a scaly looking mask, as both of them were doing there party intermingling hexvail wasn't sitting on the porch watching from aware with a cup of punch in her hand, with her ears drooping*



Mandarin" your the last person I was expect to look mopey during a fancy gather such as this " Hexvail" I know right, I was hoping to get into this sorta, but our bosses upgrade was starting to get to me a bit, me and rabbi need to best her to prove ourselves but if she gets more and more powerful I'm starting to feel like the goal post just keeps getting moved " Mandarin" normally I would say she wouldn't change how she would fight you and rabbi but in her case there is no telling what she will do" Hexvail" see? even you get it, shes too strong, will never best her in a actual test. you can't even beat her and we both know your stronger then me and rabbi " Mandarin " in the beginning I thought that myself , and I was somewhat irritated thinking " I'll never get away from this bitch" but over time the more I thought about it, the more I was starting to understand, this method she has is by design, Hexvail" huh?" Mandarin" think about it if you could best her easily and shes your boss what would that tell you about her power?" Hexvail" .... that I could match her? Mandarin" and why would that be a problem?" Hexvail".....cause then she couldn't boss us around?" Mandarin" well... yes and no, killer sells herself on being powerful, stronger then anyone we know, or have met, if we could beat her well why should any one of us listen to her what makes her so special, and more importantly she granted us her power a part of it and if we can use it agaisnt her and win?" Hexvail" yeah that would look kind of bad > >; "



Mandarin" the more I challanged her the better I became at understanding the way she fought, the more of an understand I gathered the next time she changed and improved , shes a moving goal post because she was trying to make sure I didn't stagnate freedom was just a goal for me to work towards , not that she would grant it anyway, " Hexvail" so basically to win her over its not a matter of beating her in a fight but showing offf how much we've developed using her powers " Mandarin" yes drinking down his punch, killer understands she won't be here forever , and we are suppose to keep her legacy going or at least melantha anyway, and I think she wants us at a level she would believe no one can match, and besting her? should always remain out of reach " Hexvail" hmmm...* tapping her foot* okay so what can me and rabbi do to impress her even together can can't really hold our own and that was before her upgrade DX " Mandarin" maybe you should look for something to upgrade yourself " Hexvail" sure why not will just go grab a chaos emerald XP " Mandarin" its not impossible and who knows maybe she would be pleased if you did" Hexvail" those special gates are locked up tight, no one will ever get them" Mandarin" sounds like a challenge if you ask me " Hexvail" hmm... maybe looking at her had hand as she had her energy coat it transforming into parto f her more beastly form taking insupration from killer ,,,maybe "



back with the guest



Jinx" I believe she wanted to take it a step further with the decor but she didn't want to over do it too much " " ???" I think she could have taken it further honestly, the suits are really liking this " Jinx" well she aims to please" ???" do you know if shes currently looking for the last emerald gates" Jinx" the gates?" ???" yes the angel island battalion is currently on the hunt for the remaining special zone gates I believe they have 5 so far so there are only two left" Melantha" passing by !? owo "



Killer" us personally we enjoy the simpler things and I've always been a fan of horror elements be it from mythos, yearly festivals, even history and spiritual events, there is just so much to learn ^w^ ( Mom! you need to hear this ) o o... please excuse me a moment~ pulling out a phone pretending to listen, as she was sharing thoughts with melantha



???" the special gates have been a high priority for the echidna council but after the war with domino alot of the island was mangled and the gates caught caught up in the cross fire leaving them either buried under terrain, shifted or just out right somewhere no one knows shrugs " Jinx" would you say one of those officials would be here?" ???" I can't say for sure but I do know killa-su would be a huge benefactor if she could donate to the cause to find them it would be great to protect the relics of angel island " Jinx" well for them to only be 2 left you have been doing very well " ???" nearly at the finish line as they say " Melantha" ( what do you think? ) Killer" ( it is interesting , the gates are ways to search for the chaos emeralds in the special zones, only problem is its gate isa for a specific emerald ) - - " Melantha" ( what if we modded one to work for all of them ) Killer" chuckles ( wishful thinking sweetie , the special gates are beyond elements of this world and can't be modified easily ) Mogul" ( perhaps by mere mortals yes, ) & as both melantha and killer were surprised to hear mogul, as he was enjoying the samples sitting somewhere in the garden*



Mogul" however "we" are no mere mortals of this world " " Killer" ( this is a private call thank you! ) Mogul" ( please forgive me meddling in your family affairs but I couldn;t help myself given the subject matter and I do take interest )" Killer " ( well good for you but I won't draw attention by hunting down a lamp post) " Mogul" ( if you were to find it, we modify it, who is to say it would resemble one of the 7 if could be one of your own unique special gates as long as it remains lost they will never know " Killer" ...*thinking about it* . " Mogul" ( its a golden opportunity I would say) " Killer" groans ( can it really be done?" Mogul" I have my ways and I'm sure with a little help from your scientist , I say we have a very good chance " Killer" ( alright fine, but I get to hold onto it ) Mogul" ( of course no need for hostilities , we're all on the same team, are we not? ) Killer" ( sure trunky.. sure ) Mogul" ( also your daughter makes wonderful peanut brittle ) " Melantha" heh um thank you , it was hexvail's idea " Killer" ( my all in one special zone entrance , well fingers crossed ) crossing her arms "





else where



we stop by the northern market place where a flower shop had recently opened,



Time skip florist, inside magnika was still arranging the flowers along the shelves and window shelves, while silver was still unpacking furnishings from the past



Silver" I'm still jaw dropped over this , we still are spending time setting up and we've already gotten orders or specific flowers, some orders we have don't even exist anymore" Magnika" you think they ordered them as a joke?" Silver" probably but seeing that we were true to our name and we gave them the flowers suddenly more and and more started coming in" Magnika" heheh I love it when you can prove idiots wrong l3 on top of that mom's already making space for the new flowers in her shop and shes already getting eyes looking in , sure its a bunch of lookie-lu's but she can write them down as potential customers ^w^ " Silver" either way its all coming together "

(knock knock Knock!)



Magnika" I swear people, flowers need time to grow before you-* as she opened the door it was a older female hedgehog silver fur quills tied back wit ha sky blue dress carrying a box of flower seeds* oh hello?" ???" I hope this is the right place, does silver work here" Magnika" silver! theres someone here for you??" " as silver finally took a break from the packaging turning towards the lady in surprise Mom! I didn't expect you to come here" ???" I was on my way through the city and I remember you mentioned your flower shop you would open so I brought what I could to help" Magnika" so your silvers mother? Venus" yes my name is venus and your magnika , he talks much about you his audio letters" MAgnika" oh w-well its nice to meet you " I just.. uhh.. excuse us a minute! " grabbing silver as they went inro the other room Venus" ?? " Magnika" why didn't you tell me you still had your parents here in the future . I'm having move to my time and you still have your folks here?" Silver" look I can explain I told you my world was devastated before I was born when I finally was able to restore the timeline and save the future things changed butI was still separated from my mother and even when I found her all my memories were still of what it was before I... sigh I didn't feel the connection I should have , she lives in another city and I didn't want to sound like I didn't care, I'm sorry, " Magnika" I think I get it, its like you grew up an orphan for 13 years and you just find out but that sense of connection is pasted and you just thrive on your own? Silver" not to mention my master raised me much as well - - but as time alters , so does relationships and people, since I was the cause, I'm stuck with two sets of memories the present adn th e former " tho the former is fading " Magnika" ahh I see , well at least you still love and take care of her if needed right?" Silver" yes I do at least whe n Ican' she looks in gold city which is far from here I never expected her to show up here "



( is everything alright you two? )

Magnika" well I guess speed running introductions is in order as she headed back outside the greet her yes everything is fine sorry about that suddenly break away xD; it was just silver was always so busy he rarely talked of you but it is nice to finally get to meet you miss venus" Venus" its nice to meet you as well and congratulations on your hoverball game ^w^ and I do know silver shoulder much of the worlds burdens to the point of absurdity but hes at least a good boy"

Magnika" yah I call him alittle boy scout " Silver" TwT Venus" she chuckles softly well hearing about your florist ship I did have my own small collection of flower seeds I've wanted to plant but I've had no good place to plant them " Magnika" well you won't have to worry about that~ " Silver" well I guess its somewhat true I'm always busy, I have to get this flowers to hearthe , I'll be back in a sec, as he teleported away Magnika" soooo... what else did he tell you?" Venus " something about promising you a child if you won the tournament, I wasn't sure if he was joke or not? :/ " MAgnika" ha ha ha joking...uhhhh what would you say if it wasn't joke >//w//> "



back in the past



Silver" hearthe I'm here with the fresh order xD" Bails" and I'm just finished with the extra flower patches * Silver" oh wow I hope this isn't too much work for you both" Basil" are you kidding? ever since your little idea hearthe has been non stop since. I haven't seen her this energetic since we dated, having a vast a ray of flowers and planets from the future has just opened up a whole new world for her , shes loving every bit of this and being the only shop in echidnoplies where you can buy them, to be frank shes a monopoly " Silver" yeah... it seems to run in the family > >

*thinking about kathy, knuckles, and there businesses * at the moment a hover truck pulled up near the home and it was hearthe wit ha back bed filled with a bags of soil for the gardens, as she got out of the dressed in a more active farmer attire Hearthe" finally that should be the last of it -w- " Basil" its been a while since we had to do so much landscaping work " Hearthe" well the flowers I could grow inside were always enough and I never had to do anything more but now thanks to silver its like a whole new interest has sprouted , heh no pun tended ^^ " Silver" speaking of here is the last set you asked for" Hearthe" thank you dear I think this will keep us busy for a while~ now you and magnika and focus on your side of the busniess as well as other things soon to be brewing " Silver" > >;; yeah.. " Basil" something wrong, you sound little uneasy "

Silver" maybe I'm not use to things happening so fast, I know I promised magnika what I did but I don't know am I even ready " Heartha " dear you protect an entire city, you've gone up against terrors no one would dare to fight, and you havea heart of gold to top it off, if there is anything at all you fall short of, we will be here to help , don't feel like you have to be everything at once & placing a hand on her hip*

Silver" yeah I suppose your right brushing his quills back well back to the future I go ( Vosh!) Heartha" be honest, does this outfit make me old as she spun around Basil" nothing wrong with vintage " Heartha " well I still got it ^^ "



just as silver came back

Venus" your going to be a father!?! " Silver" o o " Magnika" yeah I kind of told her ^^: "







* back at the party, some of the guests were in groups as it was obvious by the way they conversed ,one of them having a mask on with a built in camera as from afar they were watching maverick and killa-su "



Guest1" anything?" Guest2" nothing if she is "her" shes not making it obvious " Guest3" why would she , and as far I know she already knows what we're doing and trying to keep everything hidden " Guest1" we don't even need a slip up from her we can get it from one her cronies once we have the proof we can finally storm this place " Guest2" not so loud, you never know who's listening " meanwhile from afar killer giving them a side eye as she sipped her wine Killer" (these freedom fools think I don't know what goes on in my own house, and with this new upgrade I could walk around as my real self but no one would see it unless I wanted them too ) * taking a wide glance around mephlies was entertaining some investors, jinx an d starline were to themselves rabbi was arguing with melantha what song to put on next, so she took the moment ot walk inside giving herself some quiet "



Killer" deep breathe ...ahh..- - " ( Grrrrrrr.... ahhh! ) o o?" ( Ahhhhhhhhh! AGhh! panting) what in the world? * hearing the faint yelling it hexvail in the cnter of the library alone trying to practice her transformations"



Hexvail" panting..jsut...one.. try >< I can do this .. there all the same.. .there all the same thats why I wantot be like her , make the mall die make them all suffer ... as dark aura started to flow around her The white wrabbit will kill them all! as in a quick succession her body started to morph spikes along her back and ears, her teeth growing sharper with her buck teeth more visible and more of a pick her claws grew her eyes bright red



Killer" owo " but as she built up so much energy her body was trembling when suddenly she collapsed to the floor as the energy faded she returned to her base from just as quickly as she changed Hexvail" damn it! .*panting* " Killer" should I ask what it is your doing" Hexvail" killa-su DX I was uhh it uhh" Killer" no need for code names, guests aren't allowed inside crossing her arms Hexvail" sighing as seh sat up holding her head down I know your way stronger now with your new staff if me and my brother hope to impress you we need to keep up, some kind of way, I know dark chaos energy used mostly negative energy I think I have enough negative emotions to push me further " Killer " chuckling softly ohhh you silly rabbit, yes chaos energy using positive and negative, but dark doesn't always mean negative as she started to pace around her

I was created using dark chaos but that doesn't mean my thoughts and actions are all born of hatred, sometimes I'm happy , sad, or just plain moody, mostly because of your brother " Hexvail" > >... be honest am I just better off barking at the sky? " Killer" hmmm yes, but that doesn't mean you can't follow the direction of the clouds* summoning her staff to her hand* hatred is great for burst of power but you can't hold onto that forever what you want is your base to be powerful, if your strong at your base, everything else will follow, try to strike me now as you are" Hexvail" so you can turn me into cheese?" Killer" Iwould have done that already if I wanted to "



tapping her staff again this time a bubble appeared aroudn them teleporting them to different space



Killer" now hit me" Hexvail" >w>....><.. grrr.. running towards her she started swiping away but killer simply hovered back or dodged it casually, still one strike she quickly grabbed hex's hand and spin her around ( Whoooaha!) " Killer" I know your enamored by me, but don't let your idolization hold you back " Hexvail" Grahhh! leaping towards her killer stopped her with her chest her hand along* Killer" take many of the situations power is great when its simply everyday for you I'm not even trying, but think of how strong I would be if I was?" Hexvail" thats my point! how can we best you if we can't even beat you" Killer" because that is my point, you don't need to beat me, you just need to impress me and prove me my faith isn't ill placed* flicking her between the eyes sending her flying back (Thug!) Killer" this house has a hierarchy, me and mephlies at the top, melantha is next , mandarin 3rd and you and rabbi, and lastly starline and jinx" Hexvail" come on I thought I a little better then mandarin " Killer" he has seniority " Hexvail" XP " Killer" but I'm getting off topic your power grows because of me and it sharpens because of you, keep it sharpened keep it strong and you have my blessing" Hexvail" okay then... dark chaos.. what would be the best way to use it then?" Killer" simple , don't make it emotional, make it instinctual, my chains are not ability I use at random wrapping her up in her chain Hexvail" !?!" Killer" its as simple as taking a few steps forward~ as she she walked towards her* every step you take without thinking, every breathe you take without thought is your goal the power isn't apart of you, it "is" you if you train with your mindset like this, you'll make entertaining sparring partners " as the chain slowly unraveled and returned to her



Killer" ......" Hexvail" ( is is bad I just want praise from you , I don't know I'm being stupid again ...) Killer" I'm sure your already aware of keeping this to yourself" Hexvail" yeah why " Killer" puts her hand on her head Killer" I know you've gone through alot, but I am no substitute , but that does not mean I can't show I value you " Hexvail" ;w; .... as tears started to well in her eyes " Killer" please don't start with the water works I- suddenly she hugged her tightly o o...*groans*" Hexvail" no one has to know right?" Killer" ( yes but "I" know and thats too much ) TwT hugs her back



with a snap of her fingers they returned the library



Killer" now if I were you I would get started on the dishes before they start to pile up" Hexvail" ehhh = = " Killer" and on top of that I think I'll have a bit of a job for you and melantha, Hexvail" what is ti this time a another hitman or search and destroy killer" more like a retrieval of a goal post" Hexvail" ?? " Killer" I'll explain "



as killer walked her through the explanation regarding the special zone gates





one explanation later



Rabbi" so you want us to go find and dig up a goal post somewhere on angel island? " Killer" by the long and short of it yes " Melantha" but there are 7 zones it could be anywhere DX" Killer" well luckily for us mogul is going to help pinpoint where one is , the gates are normally on the border of each zone, and if you can find the border you'll be home free " Hexvail" even with the council searching high and low as well ? " Killer" thats why I said you'll have to be fast ,and quiet " Melantha" maybe starline could help since he can use warp rings?" Killer" shaking her head no , lately I've been seeing them track warp ring energy , it would be safer for you melantha to make a portal back home " Hexvail" shit there starting to get smart >w>" Killer" I know right... anyway the party is going to come to close in another 2 hours once the guests all head home you four will head out, sounds like a plan?" Rabbi" whoooa~ lets do this XD" Mandarin" its been a while since I've been put on a field mission " Killer" mhm~ relish it do whatever you had to, just make sure you aren't caught with our pants down " Rabbi" well luckily I don't wear pants " Mandarin " get back on the DJ you gremlin ,* pulling him away* I swear your more insane then my boss " Purge" perhaps you should selective a few of your shadows to bring with you" Melantha" why cherry pick when I can all upon all of them? Purge" it takes less energy, energy we will need to teleport home" Melantha" right.. makes sense > > * as she walked away* as the lock of them went back there work



Mephlies" I'm surprised your not seeing to this yourself personally given how important is it " Killer" I trust they can handle it , then I can let starline do his little work on it and if he manages to mod it to access other zones?... who knows I might give him more free range as a reward " Mephlies" oh my, you actually sound like your being dear I say? generous? " Killer" look I said "if" if he can't nothing will happen XP " Mephlies" hmhmhm sorry I jsut still find your sense of mercy kindness amusing to see, it shows to me someone has done something that truly impacted your entire being placing his hands behind his back

Killer" well specking of someones entire being , there is something I might have to ask of you that wil lbe quiet heavy ,because I know of its history that you have with it -w- " Mephlies" curious.. what is that you ask of me?"



Killer" taking a deep breathe as she looked him in the eyes would it be possible to get that device again that the overlanders tried to seal you in" Mephlies".............." Killer" or if at most the material needed to craft it " Mephlies" ...why? as he turned away killer" remember when I said eventually I will have to deal with slayer because I've been keeping an eye on him , he wants to start a full scale dimensional war at some point, it would jsut be my way ot kneecapping him to get him out of the picture in a hurry, Mephlies" do you fear his power would be greater then yours" Mephlies "- -.. no but we're neck and neck which is just as bad, but given our current problem for now is oletta I don't want to poke any bears that aren't on the verge of waking, all I'm looking to do is be prepared " Mephlies" .....* turning away as he walked towards the window* Killer" walking up to him as she lightly took his hand as mephlies remains silent killer got the hint adn was about to drop the subject - - " Mephlies" there method would be considered outdated at the point, however i you which ot use it on slayer your going to need light gaia material which can only be found at the temple underground much deeper then the chaos temple " Killer" close to the planets core my guess " Mephlies" once you have the shards of rock crafting the scepter is the easy part using it however I doubt either of us will be able to " Killer" obviously XP I'm well aware its going to have ot be either kathy, or keith or even sky " Mephlies" ...." Killer" I'm still sorry this was sore point fo you but=" Mephlies" its not even that " Killer" then what is it ?" Mephlies" your asking to make something that can possible be used against you as well , and I fear if the wrong people get wind of such a tool " Killer" which is why I feel confident saythign now, no one will hear or know of this but us okay brushing his cheeks* you know I take ever precaution and I don't let anyone get the drop on me or us~ kisses him passionately, mephlies wrapped his arms around her tightly pulling her close hmm.." Mephlies" alright, I trust you my love " Killer" nods but for now lets focus on his special gate it will be fun having easy access to the chaos emeralds* she grinned* Mephlies" your not worried about the trials needed to gain the emerald " Killer" deity's games don't concern me , I'm a walking cheat sheet " Mephlies" well true , but you do have one more important task ahead of you " Killer" what is it now?" the chrismas period is upon us and i arranged a dinner event that will be held by the corespondents " Killer"...Youuuuu.... WHAT!! " Mephlies" it is a matter of saving face, and they would adore having us on the front cover of chaos angel monthly " Killer" I will not, turn my sanctuary into a winter wonderland! I don't give a damn about- " Mephlies" charity drives are the best cover ups no one will ever know or suspect, in the mean time will work on modding the gate and the staff " " Killer" but but!!...* covering her face* MGgghhhhhGHHHHH!!* as she muffled her scream her body started ot rip open as teeth and energy start to seep out across her body like open zippers until l eventully she took a deep breathe



Killer" fine! fine... its okay I'm alright~ it makes sense plus no one would dare ruin a christmas party - - I'm just alittle tired of having my calendar always being full, plus it will be fun for the kids* as hellfire walked up to her and she put a santa hat on him " Mephlies" a nice excuse for you to wear red?" killer" I'll think about it crossing her arms "



to be con.

soon after we arrive on angel island, walking from the portal was soul herself dressed in something more casual and loose while jalinx himself was is normal work attire



Soul" you know I could have handle this myself jalinks you didn't have to come along" Jalinx" crossing dimensions is something your required to have an escort for madam you know you that as well as I do" Soul yes but its only cause cid pushed it, the preparations need your attention more Jalinx" you were just concerned a moment ago if this was the front realm, time can not we wasted at the moment especially when we looking for guests " Kathy" don't worry I would have found her eventually as kathy made her appearance" Soul" kathy! Kathy" hello soul its nice to see you" Soul" well don't just sit there give your big girl a hug <3 " Kathy" eheh embracing the bear hug she gave her still got it I see xD" Soul so do you x3 as much as I've lvoe to shoot the breeze I have to keep it short " Kathy" I know , I know you want to give your invite to the coronation " Soul " yesh and" Kathy" no " Soul" ...... wow not even a moments thought" Kathy" I mean my kids want to goof course but mean I'm just... " Soul" I know the whole spider thing but it won't be as bad as you think" Kathy" I know its not really there fault and its more me but I dealt with dimitir's antics enough and I'm finally over it enough where I can see him regularly when I see about lein-da I can barely stomach anything more" Soul" her ears folded back* you know cleva really wants you to meet this girl, I can understand you don't want to stay, I mean things in the demon realm takes some time to swallow but if you could come just for alittle bit for a meet and greet and then you can take your leave , it would be the world to the girl, please? just a tiny bit of your time? "



Kathy" sigh...>< if I say anything other then yes I'm going to feel like a asshole" Soul well I'm just makin it clear you don't have to stay long, meet the girls friend, have a few laughs and you can hop skip and jump back to safety " Kathy" fine, fine so when is it going to be?" Soul" I'm guessing another day or so~ but no promises, you'll know when its time ^^ and thank you again kisses her on the cheek



as kathy walked back to the house kiara and khalon got to meet her as jalinx handled the m there personal invites*



Khalon" a hell invitation XD " Jalinx" its not hell T T; Kiara" then why do you look like goat n the pentagram" Kathy" kids be nice " Jalinx" would this appease your nerves T T* as he transformed himself to look more like a mobian ram " Khalon" I like you as your demon form" Soul " hehe... " Kathy" pay no attention to te kids and thank you for the invites " Jalinx" - - with that being said, just make sure ot have seal imprint on your hand " Khalon "* taking the seal* wait could I do this it was like something I saw on TV once as khalon put its on his forehead " Soul" thats not really- " as it started to mark itself on his head* Khalon" oh Ididn'tthinkitwasgonnaburn! Ididn'tthinkitwasgonnaburn!! Ahhhhh1 " Kathy" faceplam these seals aren't permeate right? Jalink" no they vanish after the event they were assigned for" Kathy" well good, so I will see you soon then" Soul " mhm~ now I'll be paying alicia and wildfire a visit " Kathy" careful, you know alicia won't let you leave easily " Soul" why do you think I'm visiting her personally xD "





the day or coronation



we start off at wildfire 's manor



alicia was busy putting on the finishing touches on herself, as she jsut finished braiding her hair putting on her a pair of sleeve stockings with open cut for the helbows and pair of a see through dress heel shoes, giving them a glass slipper look and topping it off with a dark blue dress that complimented her fur*



Alicia" I hope this pleases you, my queen <3 " Wildfire" alicia are you finished" Alicia" you say that like I've been taking all day" Wildfire" you've been in the dress room for the last hour and a 1/2 " Alicia" you know who this is for so I have to look my best its shame I couldn't face her when she came to give the invites ;w; " Wildfire" well you had your excuse you were in the shower" Alicia " I don't need to look like wet dog in front of her DX " Wildfire" listen you'll be fine and I'm sure when you finally meet face to face you'll get all the candy in the store " Alicia" just give me the candy applies and I'm good l///3 " Wildfire" do you do the invite stamp ?" Alicia" yes" showing the symbol just above her cleavage" Wildfire" nice looks like w e should be getting picked up any second now " Alicla" grabbing her purse* okay sugarbyte your in charge while we're gone, be good now " Sugarbyte" affirmative "



( without delay a portal opened up in the room with them as jalinx arrived escorting them through, and with in a few steps they were in the castle court yard of the lust demon king and to his surprised meeting everyone else at the same time, sky and kathy's groups as well*



Kathy" hey alicia I see my braiding lessons paid off ^^ " Alicia" yeah only took about half an hour but I got it Wildfire" he actually had it in less then that but she wanted to get it perfectly " Jalinx" I'd like to welcome you all , the coronation will be taking place in another hour in time, so please enjoy the festivities, the complementary food and be mind full of the time if some choose to be too friendly " Alicia" :3 ( well thats my green light!)



Khalon" this place looks so weird , way more then I was expecting as he took pictures Nova" personally I love the idea of a crystal phone" Niyako" I know right! an echo crystal it could be our own secret contact " Blaze" you already hun you look a little nervous? " Sky" I guess my sixth senses are going crazy cause its like you think you expect something but its not what you expect" Blaze" is the whole demonic thing? " Sky" kind of but thats the weird part I'm not really giving the vibe I do from being my clan needs to run a check box through" Blaze" well that should be a good thing right?" we should not judge a book by its ...cover o o



upon entering the lounge area many of the attendants turned there eyes towards them like they were the prime event " Maid" those re the new guests" ??? " a colorful bunch aren't they "

???2" its so weird not seeing any horns but not bad " Maid" well thank you attending would you like for us to take your coat" Knuckles" uhh no thanks" Guest" can you really preform fire without using a seal? " Blaze" ummmm... " ???" dark arts and light arts at the same time its really something of master y skill you have to show off can you " Kathy" well I wouldn't call my master a master but Kiara" she does" Kathy" kiara! " Guest3 " I think some of us can tell whos very.. active you could say they laughed Sky" I don't know if thats good or bad" Guest3" its neither its a choice if your open perhaps some of you would be"



Darkheart" ALRIGHT EVERYONE BREAK IT UP! * as darkheart came flying in above pushing some distance between them and the other demon guests give them some breathing room, this is there first time here, let them have some time to take in everything! shooing them off Sheesh! T T I'm terribly sorry about them, any time they see someone from your realm they get super excited " Sky" is that why we have the symbols" Darkheart" yes, basically there " I'm under the kings protection so hands off" Blaze" I could imagine the attention becoming alittle over whelming >w> for some" Nova" yeah I'll say ;w; hiding behind niyako" they liked how my quills felt and were playing with my hair" Darkheart" my name is darkheart I'm the second oldest in the family cleva and poison should be here soon to greet you all ^^ " Sky" well its nice to meet you, I'm sure many introductions aren't needed? " Darkheart" poison has talked alot about most of you, especially you looking at wildfire" Wildfire" hmm I wonder why crossing his arms Darkheart" lets just say some are feeling experimental they will match your speed" Blaze" >< clapping her hands for moment I am... well aware of where we are.. but keeping the.. "fun" talk to a minimum while the kids are around would be nice " Kiara" there so no hope here its all sex talk everywhere" Darkheart" not all the time , we know how to be civil , blight could show you the library section we have spells books that might tickle your fancy " Kiara' spell books curious >w> " Niyako" do you have anything else like your crystal phone" Darkheart" sure what are oyu looking for" Niyako" thrill me " Darkheart" in what way~ " Niyako" the PG way thank you ! >< " Darkheart" Ahahahah I'm just messing with you! come on I think you'll like this, oh! one more thing! your highness if don't mind I know your husband is a swordsmen we have a collection in the library he might also like to see for himself too " Sky" demonic blades? I can't lie I want to see but > >" Blaze" I'll be fine, I think > > " ( Dark!) Blight rushing in this is a coronation gathering its going to be taking place soon this isn't a tour! you can't have guests all over the place! " Darkheart" but its soooo boring having everyone huddled in one room until poison and cleva are ready, alittle show casing won't hurt XP " Blight" mom said so " Darkheart" sigh also this is our youngest of the family, blight" Kathy" aww nice to meet all of you its been such a lively bunch so far " Blight" and if you want to show off you can take them to the garden since the coronation will take place outside " Knuckles" > > nudges kathy's shoulder Kathy" ><...*sigh* well um cleva did say she wanted me to meet one of her friends i think muffet was her name?" Blight" oh she actually catered some of her goods to the event XD Silk butter cookies " Knuckles " baked goods from a demon realm? this I have to see " Darkheart " while my sister wastes your time with food lets stop by the display case and have some real fun" Blight" dark T T " Darkheart" just 20minutes will keep it brief an meet you guys outside" Sky" well I guess its decided " Blaze" don't get lost now " Kiara" say that to alicia and wildfire as she noticed they already vanished from the group Kathy" that didn't take long "



as the lot took there time spreading out , in the distance a another demon was standing by the window black hair, light purple with white underbelly, he wore a black uniform as his hear covering one of his eyes that were black with red pupils, as he gave off a small smirk as his tail swayed back and forth as he watched the others head off



meanwhile wildfire was at the beverage counter Wildfire" I wonder if they serve any alcohol here " ???" yes but I'm not sure if your kind would be able to digest it " Wildfire" turning behind him a female demon approached him her hair was a dirty silver , she was dressed in a red ruby dress with a zipper down the middle her face had no mouth but one single eye that was black with a black purple Wildfire" well your certainly someone who fits among the locals I was expecting" ???" and poison complains about someone being there favorite play thing " Wildfire" hey I never say a word I'm the one rent free in his head " ???" taking her smoking stick, sticking down her top as she suddenly let out a puff of smoke there must bea good reason for that " Wildfire" well I could show you if you want " ???" I prefer taking my time, I was never fond of quickies as you mortals call them, but I wouldn't mind a sample if that would be alright " Wildfire" tsk! a sample and how would you do that? " ??? " well let me show you , firstly I'm known as a slender " Wildfire" a figure like that I can see why " ???" but you can call me smoke" as she took his hand pulling him close to her as if they were about to dance, as wildfire took both her hands Wildfire" shall we dance? " Smoke" oh the music is just starting~"



suddenly wildfire felt something slithering up his sleeves into his shirt like a set of tongues wrapped around his waist from inside his shirt like a rope rubbing against him



Wildfire" l=lady?! what is this what you doing? o o;; suddenly a the look of pleasure and satiation in her eye as if she tasted something good Smoke" just a small sample nothing more and my you are very very rich in flavor I could tell I can see why he likes you as she let go of his hands wildfire saw her retract what looked like tongues from with in her hand palms as they closed back up" Wildfire" what are you fly trap?" Smoke" ehehe like I said its just a sample I wanted now if you wanted that quickie as you mentioned this would be waht you get as she unzipped her dress showing a row of teeth down her torso like a zipper opening it up and a mass of tentacles serving as her tongues* Wildfire" o o............." Smoke" zipping her dress back up judging from your reaction I think the sample was enough , but if your ever interested in a night out , just use the echo crystal , you'd make sweet piece of candy~ as she waved causally Wildfire".... shakes violently getting his senses back grahhhoooo! wiping his head fucking hell... well if I ever get board I know where to fucking go DX Obsidian " I see you met my staff manager " Wildfire" wha?" Obsidian" I apologize for her behavior she gets alittle restless sometimes and finds her fun where she can " Wildfire" I see... and you are" Obsidian" my name is obsidian I'm poisons father " Wildfire" well I at least I know what to expect from you " Obsidian" maybe a run down of our kind would be in order to keep you prepared?" Wildfire" naw, I think I like being surprised " "





elsewhere



within the castle's library, the kids were having fun exploring while sky was getting a small tour of the weapons display case



Darkheart" a black dragon that turns into a sword?! " Sky" I know right, we still have it too " Darkheart" I'll trade you for it " Sky" well you have to talk to my about it shes the one she owns it xD* he laughed* Darkheart" but with that being said anything here you might like to trade for it "

Sky" scanning the shelves ... hmmm.. suddenly one with a black hilt and a green edge while it looked like it was clean the blade was dripping a green substance onto its casing whats the deal with this one?" Darkheart" this is one is $%^&$#$ $# %$.. or in your tongue the closet it would be is a toxic blood, the blade itself is like acid you cut someone once, it infects there body and slowly kills them from the inside " Sky" I see does it effect the user if they get hit" Darkheart" if you are the one using you have immunity , the moment you drop it your at risk of its toxic substance " Sky" so always keep it in hand" Darkheart" basically " Sky" hm!? suddenly across the shelf to itself and having a seal around it , wasa blade with a wide blade , as much as sky's torso, and there was an eye within the center of the blade it appeared as if it was sleeping but veins coated the blade all around



Sky" what in the world??" Darkheart" ahah sorry bu that one isn't for sale or trade XD that one is my fathers sword, Sky" your king was a swordsmen" Darkheart" during the Beast wars yes, it was that blade that won him the title of king, its a powerful blade that contains the demons spirit and not anyone can use it " Sky" what if someone who couldn't handle ut used it " Darkheart" it would devour your soul , corny as it sounds that what it does you think lust demons are all about you know sex and passion but lust can boil down to anything, and that is what the sword feeds off of, the absolute lust for battle , for killing, for the burning desire to win , the more you have the stronger you are" Sky"...........* stares* " Darkheart" light punches his shoulder don't get tempted now, even my father had issues with this blade xD " Sky" I get the hint he chuckled say you wouldn't haven't have elemental swords would you? say... like a ice sword?" Darkheart" uhhh >w> I think we have something "



as darkheart lead him over to a display with elemental swords one where the blade was a fusing of ice and steel with diamond holes with in the blade itself as it gave off a cold mist from the blades edge , as sky felt drawn to id " Darkheart" hey easy, unless you can control ice this blade will freeze you, or you got to have special gloves for it " Sky" changes to his wolf form as she grabs it* suddenly ice started to freeze up his hand but using his ice he tried to with stand it pushing it back on to he blade itself as it looked like he was fighting with it Grr....Grrrr! >< as much as he forced it ice was started to form around his feet on the floor but eventually he had to put it down* Agh (panting* ... " Darkheart" owo well that was surprise , good attempt though " Sky" well if I ever wanted to practice my focus that's the best way to do it " Darkheart" you know what I'll ask my dad if he'll let you have it, cause honestly he wants to get rid of this thing , he can't even use it" Sky" thats very nice but you don't have to " Darkheart" you just need to gloves and your set XD, so maybe after the coronation will talk " Sky" any maybe will talk about a trade or possibly buying" Darkheart" yeah about 3 lust gems" Sky" lust gems?" Darkheart" think of it as a duel currency for your world but its little winded to explain right now , go and get your kids while I go and get the gloves " as he quickly flew off Sky" eheh.. lust gems as a duel currency, in all my years did I think I'd be in a demon world "



???" and in all my years would I see you again my love~ " Sky" !? as sky turned around it was the purple demon from before having his hands behind his back as he walked up to him I'm sorry have we met?" ???" hmm yes and no~ my name is Xander its lovely to see you again" Sky"... um sure nice to see you too I guess? " Xander" hows the wife and kids? you still very much a young sapling when we last had fun he smirked Sky" ...um there both fine and okay cut the act I don't know you and this is getting alittle " Xander" uncomfortable? thats the fun part about you" Sky" thts it I'm gone dude I'm not interested in what you - Agghhh! * suddenly he grabbed sky by the collar adn threw him against one of the book shelves, jsut before he could react he pinned him agasitn the shelf and started to kisses him aggressively Sky" Hhmm!! hmmm!!! sky tried to change to another form but xander quickly yanked the crystal off his neck tossing as he continued his make out session Xander" Ahahah Ahah ahhhh~ just like I remember " Sky" coughing.. what...the hell is your deal?!" Xander" we met before but in another dimension I adored you then as much as I do now but sadly you or your wife didn't like it so much so she went to great lengths to keep you safe from me , I.E wiping my memory of you completely and blocked me from that dimension" Sky" well I can see why , but how did you recall-" Xander" the effects wear off after so many centuries all I had to do was find you again , or at least a you that made me feel the same way, as that version of you did " as sky struggled to push him off quickly tried ot knee him in the stomach but he took it without a care with some added features I noticed grabbing his tail Sky" AHhh Stop it!! asshe tried to force him off but he slammed hi mback agasitn the shelf Xander" thats it fight me, you got my fight the othe r version, its alot more fun this way, your not so much of a cry baby, but you still squeal jsut as sweet~ "



at that moemtn nova and niyake came rushing looking around until lthey saw them both



Nova" DAD!! jumping right into a rage her fire and her energy coated her body as she rushed him GET AWAY FROM HIM!! as she lunged at him with her energy claws but just as she got close he slapped her away with his tail ( WHIP!) slamming her into the other shelf ( CRashhh!) causing the books to fall on top of her* Sky" I'll break you in two! as his eyes started to glow from his reaper form as he forced him off but Xander started to give off energy of his own as his own form started to change only as she laughed* Darkheart" XANDER! as he appeared behind him in his own fully transformed state stand down , you are on thin ice , before I have every guard in this castle storm this room and rip you apart and scatter you across the valley! your prestige be damned Xander" T T..... lets go of him fine I don't want to turn this lovely day into a brawl, besides I got what I wanted, at least enough to rests my nerves as he walked away see you soon love, having a taste of your blood will be the climax <3 " Niyako" digging nova out of the pile of books Darkheart" are you alright ? ashe helped sky up I m so sorry about him this won't go unpunished I promise >< " Sky" who.. the hell was that" Darkheart" xander, hes a bit of a spoiled child hes a hybrid of a lust and greed demon his parents are wealth and they love throwing there weight around " Sky" and so does he apparently* as he picked up his crystal on the ground least he didn't break it putting it back on* - - "



nova" dad! are you okay ;w; tripping over the books " Sky" I'm fine nova I'm nova and I'm sorry he- " Nova" YOUR SORRY!? you were just assaulted " Niyako" nova is right thats a nasty thing"

Darkhert" looking gulity ... I leave for two minutes " Nova" Ithought the seal was suppose to let everyone know not to mess with us ;w; " Darkheart" xander thinks he can get away with anything, after today hes gonna have another thing coming.. " Sky" lets save it for after I'm not gonna ruin cleva big day and I think he knows that too " Darkheart" gritting his teeth... Sky" I'll be fine don't worry I've dealt with worse " nova" dad don't down play this please.." Sky" believe me I'm not I'm more angry he slapped you across the room* hugging her tightly* " Nova" ;w;.... hugs him tightly



after much of that commotion everyone gathered outside taking there seats before the alter as cleva and poison were on there way, sky sat next to blaze holding his head



Sky" so how was it on your end" Blaze" well kathy fainted seeing cleva in her spider form that is a bit of a long story " Sky" ( no wonder she didn't show up ) Blaze" but what happened to you you look a mess as she tried to kiss him but he put his hand up ?! o o " Sky" sorry, just.. not till I can wash my mouth up " Blaze" why.. Sky" the library was fun and even an ice sword I might get from darkheart.. everything was fun till I get sexually assaulted by a demon " Blaze" ....I hope your.. joking...? " Sky" ....." Nova" we're not.. I saw it he had him pinned to a book case like he wanted to rape him she hissed



suddenly as those words traveled through the air both alicia and wildfire heard it , as both of them were stunned by what they heard

Alicia&Wildfire" o o !!...... "





poison and cleva were on the stage the appointed minister gave there speech as formal crown was given to cleva as everyone gave there applause poison noticed one of the guard went to obsidian and whispered something to him leaving him very distrait once it was said and finished everyone was still enjoying the remainder of the after party



Muffet" well I am happy kathy got to enjoy the remaining of the party even if our meeting wasn't exactly the best " Cleva" I know right but she stayed I'm happy ;w; I'm really just happy she was able to meet you "



a hour before



as kathy went to the dressing room to meet with cleva



Poison" I still can't believe you want this as our first picture " Cleva" oh just one" Soul" make your wife happy dear it won't kill ya ~ " Poison" out of everything you want this is it?" Muffet" close the forehead, it makes the others look more glossy and they come out better....... perfect annnnd ( click) " Cleva" yay XD "



Knuckles" hey poison! Cleva" !? k-knuckles kathy! I didn't hear you guys come in" Kathy" yeah we wanted to rush to come and see- " as cleva turned around she was in her spider transformed state along with seeing her and muffet beside her Cleva" AHHH Kathy DX! I didn't expect you you to just walk in " Soul" kathy dear its nice to see you ^w^ this is muffet the one cleva mentioned before " Muffet" um hello I hope this appearence isn't little too much cleva did warm me you had a small thing for spiders " Kathy" .................." Poison"um...kathy? " suddenly in a complete state of shock she collapsed to the floor Cleva" Ahhh kathy DX! Knuckles" some one get some hot water! " Khalon" that's so cool though! XD Muffet" not everone seems to think so "



after carrying kathy ot the couch lying her down soul placed a warm rag on her for head while knuckles fanned her eventually she started to come around Cleva" kathy?.... kathy ;w; " as she came to herself she saw cleva looked like her normal self Kathy" cleva?" Kathy" yes its me , normal me " kathy" what in the world was that.. I just.. you were" Poison" spiders for brains over here could transform into one so she wanted one wedding picture with her in that form T T" Cleva" let me have my fantasy" Poison" most people want wings or have powers as there fantasy not to be an insect " Muffet" something wrong with insects? TwT crossing her arms Poison" you know what I mean " Muffet" careful or my babies will have a word or two with you "

Soul" okay okay ya'll lets not fight~ we got ourselves alot on our hands and we're only just starting , as she helped kathy up right sorry about the scary there sweetie it was only a small little treat for my daughter in law <3 " Knuckles" thought it was weird you guys called this your coronation and not your wedding" Soul " cause we're actualyl doing them apart , today is her formality of the event and the next one will be inviting the families and really letting everyone let loose X3 " Kathy" well I suppose that makes sense getting the business side of things out the way > >" Cleva" sighing of relief yes, and just to make it formal this is muffet the girl I wanted to introduce to you" as kathys mind still went into flight mode as she hide behind knuckles Muffet" I wont' bite if thats what your scared of " Kathy" no no its jsut I... hmmmm ( looking like a scared cat* Muffet" will this help? closing her extra eyes leaving her main two open Kathy" I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable DX " Muffet" I have been fine, and cleva warned me about your little phobia, I was willing to approach you in a soft way but then you kind of walked in on us and I think that plan fell apart >w> " Kathy" sort of .. " Knuckles" but for what it s worth your doing pretty good " Kathy" I.. I still have ot be polite or at least try, but its nice to meet you muffet "



still feeling rather shaky kathy extended her hand to shake hers still alittle frightened feeling her rough claw like hands, but on the flip side muffet had a soft smile as she chuckled



Muffet" shes right you are a true baker~ XD " Kathy" how can you tell?" muffet showed off her second set of hands as they had residuals of flour and sugar Muffet" after baking we try to clean off the flour and sugar but something always remains doesn't it , little tattle tale signs " kathy" !? I thought that was only me , how my fur would just come out white all the time cause of the flour " Muffet" or when you forget to wear a cloth cap casue the powder gets in your hair then you have wash it out " Kathy" girl YEeeessss " Muffet" Ahahah xD " Kathy" soemoen understands meanwhile my husband whos a pizza chief thinks I'm just crazy " Knuckles" your just careless thats all" Kathy" Grrrr.. T T " Muffet" I'll show you careless, try baking 50 cookies a days and watch you turn into a albino " Knuckles" XP " Kathy "eheheh " Poison" well looks like cleva was right you both would bond immediately " Cleva" yes but maybe we can chit chat more under less pressed circumstances " Knuckles" and without her clenching me like a pet at the vet " Kathy" I'm not hugging his arm tightly,,, mostly > > " suddenly in the distance a bright light went off as khalon used the amulet himself turning himself into a spider



Khalon" so this is what it feels like to have four arms! also I can see everything! " Kathy" ... faints Knuckles" Khalon! " Kathy" uahh ahhaaa... ahh thats the sound of my soul leaving my body...my special pink baby is gone... " Muffet" your right she is dramatic " Poison" sigh = = " Soul " be nice ya'll we're suppose to be easing he r into the idea of spider kind not worsening it " Muffet" like I said it could have gone a tiny bit better :/ " I could have introduced her with a picture and a spider bakery basket maybe hat would have helped" Knuckles ' hey she does the same thing only as a gift basket " Muffet" ;w; oh the little ones love gift baskets XD I remember Jr loved fruit baskets " Kathy" ( God make her as lovely and sweet as you want I will not accept spiders in my life at all ever so some tryign to make me like her !! ) still ina passed out state



Maid" cleva poison the stage is ready for you" Cleva" will pick this up after words ^^ I am glad you you both got to meet even if it wasn't the way I wanted it " Soul " well maybe next time we can have a do over " khalon turns back to normal Knuckles" alright uppsy daisy picks up kathy in his arms* see you both afte the after party*



end



suddenly darkheart ended the room



Poison" darkheart? I'm surprised your not wiht the guests" Darkheart" I would have .. but we have a problem... "



meanwhile sky was alone ot himself sitting on a bench trying ot calm himself down

Sky" ... as the event started to play over and over in he head his foot started tapping heavily as he started ot breathe heavily... . gRrr..*panting*.ah.. Wildfire" Sky?" Sky" !? snapping it out his almost panic attack wildfire,," Wildfire" are you okay.. " Sky" what... I'm fine , why do you ask" Wildfire" I know your not fine, me and alicia both overheard the even that took place, if theres anything you need , something anything at all " Sky" eheh.. wildfire I'm fine I'm more angry at the fact he pistol whiped my baby stupid little -" Wildfire" Dude! don't place this down this isn't somethig you can jsut walk off" Sky" I'll be fine! I jsut need to walk it off and-(BAM!) o o...... looking nextot him wildfire punched the wall leaving a crack as a dark haze covered his eyes*



Wildfire" sky,,, please... what happened isnt' something like you getting stabbed or nearly getting shot and killed.. its different for you and the people around you what makes it worse and nvoa saw it I heard from her talk ign to your wife she went into a pure rage mode. as he sat down next to him look i know you care about your family and friends more then your self , but if you don't care for yourself... you end up hurting them , if you truly wantot help the myou have to remember to help yourself " Sky" ...* hearing his words thinking back on all his other near death instants and this still feels different as he suddenly started ot pant softly holding his head dow nas he softly started to cry*.... ( sob).... fucking.. hell I couldn't I shouldn't have- (hug!) o o.. suddenly wildfire hugged him tightly ..... " Wildfire" again if you need anything just say the word okay... " Sky" I've... never seen you like this before" Wildfire" jsut because you never seen it doesn't mean I can't be " Sky" .. just..*sigh*.. thank you wildfire passed him a small bottle



Sky" this is?" Wildfire" a cleanser ' Sky" rinsing his mouth out and spitting out in the grass" sigh* - - xander" Wildfire" xander? " Sky" the bastards name , says he always was fixated on me or at least a previous version of me Wildfire" oh a stalker. I see.. thats even better " Sky" I'm surprised to hear you so straight foward no side comments, no jokes or even at my expense, lets be real I'm sight" Wildfire" Assault is nothing to sneeze it , me and alicia are always about consent and being on equal footing , this piece of shit broke our one rule I've come across a few in my time like that , you don't want to know what I had done to them and even alicia is livid " Sky" ooof alicia pissed? that would be a sight " Wildfire" dude we all are, and I'm sure your wife is going to have another kitten when nova's done telling her what happened " Sky" I don't think that will be a good thing > > " Wildfire" why not?" Sky" if you say I can get easily riled up I get emotional how do you think blaze will react " Wildfire" like any ones wife would?" ( BOOOM!!!) suddenly what sounded like an explosion went off shaking the area around them Sky&Wildfire"

O o;;; " Sky" times 50x "



on theo therside of the court yard xander was left standing in a trench that was pressed up agaisnt a scorched rock dusting himself off, meanwhile oppsite ot him blaze wasi n her proto-form only it was appearing somewhat different the blue flames were becoming more feather like as she walked she appeared as a walking silloutte with only her eyes showing



Xander" jsut as impulsive as the other one, I see my baby sky never changed " Proto-Blaze" Keep his name out of your mouth! " Xander" and what are you doing to do kitty? so what you burn like a candle I you won't keep me from him you couldn't back then, and you can't now, and I enant wait to see him cry in my arms every single night when I suck him dry~ <3 " Blaze" ... GRAAAHHHHH!!! ( BOOOM!!) suddenly her flames exploded engulfing her completely as it blew away everyone around her but as they calmed down her form changed to a phoenix only black Blight" t- the black phoenix?! o o " as blaze spread her arms out she took off like a missile spinning into flying kick towards xander kicking him into the rock smashing him through it, as they flew through the sky she looked like a mas of black and blue flames in the sky but xander grabbed her leg and throwing her off. she quickly recovered hovering in the air just as xander was aalso transformed inorder to with stand her attack *



it wasn't long befor suddenl you saw them clashing in the sky repeatedly



Sky" what going on " Alicia" your wife has gone nuclear against this demon that hurt you " Nova" blight, you called her the black phoenix? " Blight" it was a story I heard, it was something with one of the Gods creatures a phoenix , when the phoenix would be completely filled with rage and seek to destroy any cosmic threat threatening her nest her feathers would turn black and burn anything in its sight to ashes , at least what I've heard" Nova" black phoenix "



( BLAM!!) suddenly in the wild distance you saw a rock formation collapse come on on them xander was still standing with a a few burns and scratches , meanwhile blaze was starting to look worn down



Xander ' getting tired? is the wax finally melted off " Blaze" why.. why won't you die! everything thing around you turns to ashes even the rock! but you still stand why?! " Xander" have you ever wondered how strong one's desire can be?" Blaze" ?!!" Xander" be side money, food, love, the need for family, the want for the death of a enemy that in itself can fuel your spirit.. your heart your soul, for my kind lust demons, greed demons our desires fuel us our wants heal us our wants keep us alive, and do you know what I always wanted? " Blaze" if you say my husband I- " Xander" he was never yours!" Blaze" o o ...." Xander" you were merely a placeholder until I came back, you were never anything and I think this game of playing house needs to end " Blaze" HOWS THIS FOR PLAYING HOUSE!! clamping her hands together she started to build up a ball of blue fire SEE YOU IN HELL!! suddenly she unleashed a massive beam of cyan fire that engulfed him completely turning the entire horizon into a sunset view *



eventually as the smoke started to clear , blaze returned to her base form completely drained dropping to her knees while xander continued to walk forwards towards her looking up at him he looked like a zombie most of the skin burned off , bones and flesh exposed whiel stil lsmirking towards her



Xander" since you both love to play house so much~ grabbing her by the neck Lets play divorce

I wanted him for centuries, I waited for so long to find him I loved him forever I won't let some vessel of a god keep me from my favorite toys " suddenly he warpped back towards everyone



Sky" BLAZE! " Xander" nice to see your fulling present love, I think its dime to announce your new single statues~ at least till our big day~ as he rabbed her by her arms but first lets clip these birds wings* as he started ot pull her arms off Nova" MOM!! Xander" heheh suddenly a shadow appeared behind him o o?!

as it was suddenly obsidian with a dark aura around as a shadow covering his eyes , in asecond he clamppedhis hands together int oa single fist and slammed it down on xanders head smashing his skull between his shoulders while sending him straight to the ground likea missile forcing him to drop blaze as he quickly caught heri n his arms, bringign her back to the others



Sky" Blaze! Blaze! " Obsidian" she is in one piece don't worry, as sky held her tightly as nova was hugging her tightly as well in tears Blaze" I'm ...I'm sorry I couldn't " Sky" don't be its okay... its okay, as long your here.. we're all here together * as he softly cried "



Wildfire"....... " Poison"........." Wildfire" poison you mind helping me with job for me" Poison" sure..* fulling changing to his demon form* " Wildfire" how much do I owe you" Poison" this ones on the house " Wildfire" * summoning his daggers. I like the sound of that "



suddenly xander started to heal again only taking more energy to do us since his skeleton was mangled

Xander" panting first the stupid cat now the king? anyone else want to join in " suddenly wildfire appeared in front of him with his hands in his pockets Wildfire" yeah I always loved a good poly especially when one takes the brunt of it all " Xander" !? suddenly he coughed up blood as blood and slash marks quickly appeared all across his body, his wings cut his ankles slashes and his neck sliced you... what did you- " wildfire casually walked aside as poison already had his sniper aimed at his head and in one shot he blasted her head clean off ( BLAM!!) as his body fell to the ground suddenly energy was scrambling to heal himself even though he was still exhausted

Wildfire" funny thing about lust and greed , it will only get you so far and eventually you'll end up on your back alone and half dead " Xander" you.. can't kill me pant this is nothing ! you are nothing to me, I want what I want and nothing you lot can do! " Wildfire" well maybe there's something he can do " as sky appeared in his reaper form Xander" ?!! o o " Sky" consider yourself dumped, baby~ * suddenly in a single swing sky cut him in half as his soul was being sucked away into the sphere on the head of his blade and once it was finished the body started to dry up and crumbled to ash "

Darkheart" I'm again sorry... today was suppose to be... not this... " Soul " its no ones fault xanders family was always well... alot " Obsidian" yes well there truly going to know what alot is after today T T as for all of you again I'm sorry for this if there is anything you need at all please do not hesitate to ask" Sky" I just want some rest and care for my family as he hugged everyone* thats all I want " Nova" ;w;...." Blaze" ....* nuzzles him * " Darkheart" well I think I can throw something else in the mix at least~ "





as the height of emotions began to calm down, just as sky asked obsidian gave them all blessed comfort treating them like the royals that they were, while he was busy with contacted xanders parents concerning the current events, two hours later some of the guests were taking there leave meanwhile a massive banquet was being made for the family alone as everyone was gathering at the dinner table but before hand wildfire personally had himself a small smoke break near the lobby



Wildfire".... " you were never his...you were just a place holder " a motherfucker says that to my alicia I'd have them hooked up to a pacemaker just to keep them breathing while I skin them alive... " Smoke" well are you a scary little bat " Wildfire" ?? wait.. um...smoke right?" Smoke" yes , most of the guest had taken there leave, if not sooner given they were a bit frightened by the massive battle in the skys " Wildfire" I couldn't blame them, so why haven't you taken off?" Smoke" because for your friend sky, he is a part of your group is he not, I just wished for you to give my condolences as her eye gave off a sad expression Wildfire" you heard a bit of his nonsense? " Smoke" yes, some of my people were taken advantage of by green demons I'm sure to you we look very menacing however we can be very frail " Wildfire" ........ " Smoke" our skin ois but a covering for the many tendrils inside and crossing her arms greed demons love to have fun with us because we know how to pleasure if you catch my drift " Wildfire" yeah I picking up what your selling , but why tell me, I get it with sky, you feel bad but it feels like your pouring your self out to me? why? Smoke" honestly I could not tell you why, something about you stuck out to me , and thats why I wanted that taste, a sample, we learn about each other more through touch, the sensation, the scents, the odors , the vibrations its..* unable to hide her blush*.. ///O/// ahem! .. it is our way of communicating and you were something nice is the best way I can put it " Wildfire" so you can say se x is your way to learning about each other " Smoke" hmmmm... maybe she laughed I'm also good at being lie detector l3 " Wildfire" nice XD maybe you should meet my wife some time I sure she wouldn't mind you " Smoke" ahh yes , alicia , but um fair warning for her > >; if she is looking for the pleasure warn her not to wear perfume " Wildfire" why?" Smoke" perfume masks your natural scents and it is very powerful and it can make me sick XP " Wildfire" interesting to know but sure I will keep it in mind " Smoke" i can give you my name is you have an echo crystal" Wildfire" by any a stroke of chance I do" Smoke" -- after giving her name well I must be on my way, take care all of you" Wildfire" wait a second, your people are they still hurt by greed demons today?" Smoke" luckily not as much as it was in the past things are better these days, but still just like your rule of consent its is rule of law for us but it has to be when your literally one massive nerve system as she waved taking her leave "



Wildfire" .....perfume makes her sick ahah thats interesting, I wonder how she handles folks who layer on deodorant "



at the dinner table



Cleva" well today was more eventful then I was imagining... I'm almost glad I didn't bring my folks" Soul" well we were going ot plan a dinner with them at home anyway, you were scared of scaryin the kids and folks weren't you?" Cleva" yes but you know its gonan be a trip breaking ot them"

Soul" once they meet me I'm sure they'll be jsut fine and they wil lget the fine welcome the family deserves " XD



meanwhile blaze was still in a bit of a tired frame of mind holding her head down as sk y took hr hand

Sky" hey you okay?" Blaze" just... the things he said, I know I should not let them get to me but the worst part was after all fo that raw power he walked it off like it was nothing" Nova" I wouldn't say that you left him looking like a zombie, not your fault he was cheating" Darkheart" it is a bit of a treak we have our lust ful desires can fuel and heal us its not really "alot" per say but I really believe xander did some oher junk os please don't down play what you put on display , that was something you would only see from a wraith demon, hence why you scared off all the other guest XD " Blaze" ..... ignoring his subtle joke she still looked defeated Sky" listen whatever he said it doesn't matter hes dead now gone, and nothing will take you way from me or me away from you.. also now that I clensed myself kissed her passionately I owed you that kiss from earlier" Blaze" ** tears welled in her eyes* ..." Sky" excuse us for a moment... *



as sky and blaze got up from the table for a moment alone



Kathy" aghhhh I hate it I hate it so much, I want to kill him a million times over! Alicia" you do? I want to do it forever, the shit he said DX " Blight" yeah greed demons are like that, not everyone is as asshole like but they can be very "me me me" , "I want I want I want" sort of person, at least from what I read " Niyako " I feel so bad for blaze and I think back on the years brevorn was in power, is she put on display that power in front of him, he would be wiped out with in a day Kathy " hmph... merely vessel for a God.. I just... some people " Poison" h=hey now everyone I don't want his aura to bring everyone down, he was someone that I'm sure you all had to encounter and deal with but the problem had been dealt with and again this was day of celebration and I won't let it spoil it for my family or my wife " Cleve" ^w^ " Poison" os thank you everyone for coming, and as for your family nova I want this extra dinner to serve as a apology for the events that took place" Nova" its okay poison how did you know one of your guests was going to be a completely maniac and go after my dad > >; Niyako" I'm sure your dad had a few words for his family though" Poison" you should have heard him , I thought the crystal was going to crack I haven't seen him that angry " Soul " sweetie I have , he's not someone you want to piss off, he is a gentle boy with all of you and me obviously but others he had bad blood with >w> you better pray you talk to him on a good day she laughed " Knuckles" so basically kathy " Kathy" hey! but then again your not wrong > > "



suddenly at the moment waiters arrived with push carts as they slowly started to fill up the table with freshly prepared dishes layering with extra plates and small samplers for some as sky adn blaze just returned to see the display being put in front of them Nova" feeling better?" Blaze" yes, better - - " Nova" hugs her tightly you amazing, blight said you were something from legend something call the black phoenix relating to the Goddess m I hope I can live u p to your power xD" Blaze" smiles softly I'm sure you will nova in your own way nuzzling her close as she purred softly Sky" also I see we just arrived in time seeing all...the... interesting dishes > >;; " Wildfire" well don't knock it till you try it~ " Soul" to be fair ya'll I was in the same boat as you, but luckily I thought of every thang so each dish as a little pinned note above it letting you know whats its like to give you a more home feeling idea " Obsidian " ahah I see everyone is finally digging in " Soul" and I see your a tad late to dinner you know how I feel about late table guests she chuckled Obsidian" sorry, I just really had to stress a point some skulls are thicker then others" Sky" I feel your pain TwT thinking of sonic ...." Nova" reading off a note Kogra mulch gavogo ( Soul" think potato soup with a sour after taste) interesting"



Kiara" nice to know cause I see things moving in some of them " Niyako" lets you know its fresh XD" Khalon" well I'll be daring! as khalon took a few random items he thought looked good

Khalon" I like this one Javaolnora susu... I think " Soul " its a java-norah susu think fried chicken stripes " Sky" trying to find something to pick " Blaze" finding something heard to pick love?" Sky" its jsut I want to but... I don't know it looks so alien... I don't know " Darkheart" first timers re always fun to watch, if you want some recommed plates try the first three on the left "

Blaze" well I do try to be respectful and take part oin the food that was prepared- adn different does not always mean bad, as seh forked piece od fried meet for her plate this almost reminds me of fried cat fish fish back home ^^ ( Squirmmmm) suddenly with in the piece she had on her fork in between the meat there a eye that opened up as it was looking around frantically until in shock blaze put it down as her fur stood up O O!!!! "

Soul" oh right, in a way it is like cat fish well itsa creature from the sea , only the eyes will survive the cooking process and there still moving around a bit , but its safe to eat no worries " Blaze" having eaten a few pieces, she turned away cupping her mouth trying not to vomit keeping her food down l-lovely..soul.. thank you" Sky " hey if you can push me to eat a sea slug with I'm sick I'm sure this isn't that bad xD" Blaze" O O... A sea slug is different verses eating eyes balls! do not start with me " Sky" you eat them alive" Blaze" buts its not looking at me! ><;;" Blight" ahahahaha XD ohh this is hilarious "



Niyako" grabing a simple sandwich. as he opened it up as the creature still looked whole with a glossy look in its eyes*... okay my sandwich is crying, is that normal?" Nova" mine winked at me"



Cleva" come on embrace foreign culture and the enjoy the food~ as she roped what looked likea marinated rope of meat l on her knife and fork like a wide piece of pasta Alicia" whats that per say" Soul" never mind what it is jsut think of it like if pork chops were like noodles thats all you need to know ( and I'll spar you the horror if what is really is ) ... >w>; " Knuckles" honestly I'm alittle curious of your spices and vegetables you use for your meals maybe I could take some back and create new kinds of pizza" Darkheart" sure maybe we an do alittle cultural exchange while we're at it " Knuckles" maybe share some baking tips with your new friend nudges kathys shoulder heheh " Kathy" ha ha ha ha XP hmmm! but in all seriousness I'm sorry I wasn't much help this time I know when it comes to all you I'm the first to jump in and well this time wasn't one of them"



Wildfire" kathy we can handle thing without , sure you might get involved but your allowed to tag out we can't have you the forefront all the time " Kathy" I know but still > > " Sky" its alright kathy, and if anyone is concerned I am feeling better honestly, and I really have all of you to thank for that, your support and care, and even from the most unexpected of places as she smiles at wildfire I'm glad to have you all in my clan I'd called " Alicia" well we do what we can and seriously shit like that was not gonna fly with any of us xD " Niyako" you wouldn't happen to have ways to take the food up with us would you? I'd hate to leave so much of this behind" Darkheart" uhhhh let me see i think we have something you guys can use "



with in no time darkheart came back with what looked like, over sized marbles that were crackled open



Darkheart" these are keke crab shells there very durable , they always shed them once a year and finding them and cleaning them polishing them they make good carry ons xD " Sky" learning something new every day =w= " Darkheart" so take what you like~ " Khalon" :3 I got my eye on a few things~ " Niyako" yeah but whats got its eyes on you > >"



finally bringing everything to a close everyone said there goodbyes and headed for home



to be con

returning back with surge and the others



back in the air ship sonic awoken in the med bay after having passed out, looking ot his side hewas able to greet tails



Sonix" t-tails?" Tails" sonic your finally awake, I was starting to get a little worried" Sonix" forcing himself to sit up right he head his head heavily like what happened?" Tails" well making a long story short, you havea short spar with sugar and you passed out, eventually silver arrive and found you and brought you back here, " Sonix " heh that's the story she wants to run with? " Tails" was there something more to it?" Sonic" stretching and twisting not really, but she always makes things seem lighter then what they truly are XP" Tails" well whatever the case silver came back with great news turns out zavok did fine the zeti that was trying to flagship the planet into ours and with him gone, it should return to is normal state , although it might take a few days for it to do so > > " Sonix" so will just see a giant rainbow ball in the sky for a while that cool " Zuzu" better then the alternative I promise you XP "

* as silver zuzu and sugar entered greeting sonix "



Sonic" sugar wasn't expecting to see you again after our little tug of war " Sugar" neither was I but you know I just wanted to make sure everything was wrapped up nicely, if tails had any questions " Tails" well surge's condition is stable. and the hidden world will take time to head back into its own orbit again, so unless something is missing I would say the checks are marks >w> " Silver" tails is right , however lanolin and the others are getting anything further from surge, it was still worrisome what state sonic was in whisper said you guys had a fight then sugar appeared and ended it what was that about?" Sonix" well I'm surge and I had a bit of a mix up and sugar got involved " Sugar" sure your not doing the same thing " Sonix" surge just had a tantrum with me and I played merry go round with her then you have to turn into mother goose and things escalated " Sugar" chuckles a bit you make it sound like it my fault?" Sonix" seeing whos standing and whos not I think I'm the one whos hurt " Sugar" you bodied my child. how else am I suppose to react?" Sonix" well- " Sugar" Choose. your words, carefully* having a tired expressing as her eyes gave off a soft red glow* Sonix"..........well you didn't have to go so hard core, I only responded to her aggression " Sugar" and its not my fault your so slow when its comes to fighting" Silver" oh your calling him slow!?" Sugar" you might be fast on your feet sonic, faster then anyone on this planet, but your way of fighting and actions , you treat them as a one size fits all solution you are slow to adapt, your slow to learn and your slow, to change. and that is why when it comes to me? you will ALWAYS lose. so stop trying unless you come at me with something different. having her arms cross as she turned away have a good day everyone. as she left the room zuzu followed along with her sticking her tongue out towards everyone as she left mockingly



Silver" was she like an ex of yours cause she really seemed to like getting personal with you?" Sonix" in someways you could say that.... "

Zuzu" I'm surprised you were that nice to him~ " Sugar" I got all my frustration out and he can stew on every 47 ways I mangled him in the last hour before trying to talk shit to me " Zuzu" 47?" Sguar" yes, I counted " Zuzu" so what happens next?"

meanwhile

at the deadly six's home base

(Ugaahhhhhh!! ....URrkkkaaahhh!!) zavok was in the bathroom constantly vomiting struggling t o holding himself up as he kept coughing eventually he held his head up after the third session



Zavok" that...child... *cough* walking over to the sink to wip the sweat from his head that child... did something to me " is this really the price for power? no the price to become what I strive to be" ( Hyping yourself up I see thats good~ ) !? who!? as he looked around seeing no one in the room but as he looked back in the mirror he saw himself only with the same eyes as Melantha

Who!? ???" I'm merely your new assistant the connection between you and melantha and what you need to lets just say get your upgrades if you meet the requirements " Zavok" !? so what am I going lose my self you and turn on my team " ???" if you want me to~ or you can remain in control and over come this challenge " Zavok" hmph so what is the challenge?" ???" right now your body still needs to adjust so take it easy and your first mission will come soon " Zavok" well i nthat case can you not use my face, because you certainly are not me nor will yuo ever be" ???" woudl you prefer the alternative?... Suddenly a black mass over took his reflection leaving him blank as white eyes appeared as his mouth became identical to purge Zavok"......." suddenly he reached out of the reflection grabbing him by the neck ???" you have os much egoism in those horns of yours like everything is in control in your grips when right now you are jsut a soft little red lamb and I'm your wolf.. I do hope we can come together let us stand together as a leader as strong as PRIDE! ( SMASH!!!) Zavok" GRRRrr!! smashing the mirror breaking the illusion as he panted heavily .. as he calmed himself* .... with a tired look in his eyes he saw his normal reflection in the broken fragments of the mirror looks like those meditation techniques will be useful after all "







we return back to the sol kingdom



in the castle training yard sky was helping sonia with her sword fighting

(Clash) ha!(Clash) Ah!(shing!) (Shing! Chang!) Thang!!) ahh! after one last strike sky ended up knocking the blade out of sonia's hands breaking her guard *



Sky" (click!) 3 minutes as he stopped a timer your guarding has improved I remember you couldn't last a whole minute XD as sonia had a show over her eyes as she went to pick her sword up I know it feel repetitive but thats the whole point of the- ( CLangLing!) ?! " Sonia" I hate this! " Sky" ........" Sonia" look at me, day in day out I'm here trying to make an effect its been over 3 weeks of this I feel like I'm just wasting my time and yours! " Sky" sonia come on you have to give yourself time I never said it would be something quick " Sonia" its not even you thats the problem, I don't want to do this at all, why would the sword choose me I'm in no way a fighter like manic wants to be, he wants to be like my dad , he wants to be a protector he wants to be all of that why not give it him! I actually want to get into chaos-ology! Study of chaos and science but instead I'm doing this! " Sky" ..... there is always a reason for everything sonia even for things we may not understand , we all have a role to fit in the world " Sonia" if we all have a role to fit can't I do it my way instead of trying to fitint oa pre made socket!? Sky"........" Sonic" I'm sorry.... I don't mean to take this out on you. you have nothing to do with this* as she started to tear up*



sky wanted up to her



Sky" have you talk to your mom about this?" Sonia" shes been busy keeping the stupid council off my back, they wantot send me to a class for knightship where I'll be doing all of this but twice as strict, shes hoping to save me by having me learn from you (sniff) " Sky" ?! learning knightship, I heard of that it was a academy for the soldiers of the kingdom, they want to send you- sigh... alright maybe we can do this-" Sonia" I don't want a solution I don't want to do this DX I'm not a fighter! , I'm not a soldier! ;w; " Sky" as sorrow filled look at her saw the distress in her eyes, he rubbedh is muzzle as he thought to himself..... okay tell your mother your off this week, cause I have business keep up the practice swings I've taught you and in the mean time I'l ltalk to your mom about what we can do" Sonia" but your the sol king its not like they would listen to you, " Sky" what about sonic have to talk to him about this?" Sonia" ......" Sky" silence is not good " Sonia" heh...my dad never had a good relationship with the council he barely even handles any o the political stuff, and even when he does they kind of nods and go along and stuff, mom takes care of that mostly but shes likes it that way, its just frustrating trying to get some of these old fossiles out of the council there so old fashion is hateful, Sky" how bad? Sonia" they wanted to have nicole removed from the main system's scared shes going to turn evil or something stupid like that " Sky" oh the iron queen debate all over again we already covered this," Sonia" I know right! it gets shot down every time but hamlet keeps tryign to push forward a new program or whatever I don't... I don't know " Sky" alright but as for your dad does he know how your feeling?"



Sonia" sometimes I want to say, but other times I kind of feel like I know what he'll say... so I just tough it out " Sky" >< ( this is why its never good to always be goofy ) Sonia" but I don't want you to think you need to come in and save the day, I have learned alot from you and you try to make it fun and not a pain but I think in the end I fee llike wasting your time casue this isn't something I would choose to do myself " Sky" I understand sonia and I'm at least happy I could soften the stress of this, even by a little... go take it easy till sally gets here to pick you up " Sonia" can you promise not to mention any of this? I don't want to add too; you know?" Sky" promise " as sonia took a small walk towards the castle, sky just kicked his foot as he letout a heavy sigh



Blaze" I couldn't help but over hear some of that, so just like kathy are you going to be everyones father having her arms crossed slightly Sky" don't even joke like that I'm not jack of all trades when it comes to raising kids, and on top of that sonic should be seeing this not me! sigh... the worst part is sonia does have talent, shes brushes it off lightly but the fack she can hold her own against me even in a casual session is impressive, but something like this is painful if your heart isn't into it, and it doesn't matter how skilled you are..." Blaze" the hard part is that shes a teenager now shes already made up her mind what she wants , to do and be for herself, dedicating your life for a craft like fighting is somethign that done when we're very young, if anythings its too late for her " Sky" you, me even nova we all started t what? 5? " Blaze" nods starting that early it becomes apart of your life not a simple craft or job its hard to make a part of your life"



Sky" .....* rubbing his eyes tiresomely* Blaze" what will you do?" Sky" .. firstly I need to- ( Binggg!) ?! suddenly a warp ring opened up behind them as sonic came through

Sky"... I thought sally was gonna.. " Blaze" maybe she told him t some point " Sonic" hey you two love birds hows it going" Blaze" nice to see you sonic pleasant as always it seems~" Sonia" adn your still as hot as ever" Sky" having a hateful glare as blue aura appeared in his eyes Sonic" okay okay bad joke, bad joke! I'm only joking XD I'm just here to pick up brownie " Blaze" brownie?" Sonic its some old nick names we use to have for the kids" bluey and brownie XD Blaze" heh cute " Sky" >w>; " Sonic" so how has the practice been coming , she a master like you yet? xD" Sky" ..... > >" Blaze" listen um..sonic about sonia- suddenly sky walked up behind blaze casually grabbing her tail as he pointed the end towards the castle making it act like a turn signal > > um she should be with nova I'll go and get her for you ^w^ * as blaze quickly made her exit Sonic" so hows it been holding out?" Sky" sonia does well , shes improving and everything thanks to gardon lessons and my sparring sessions shes made alot of good progress over the last couple of days " Sonic" thats great to hear, ^^ " Sky" yeah but.. does she talk to you about any of it? Sonic " a few mentions here and there , but nothing in too much detail " Sky" does she ever come off a little... not her self?" Sonic" some days I do see she's over worked , she told me gardon was alittle hard on her, but nothing much" Sky" ( I remember the times he was rough on me when I was pushing to be part of the royal guard ).... I don't know sometimes I feel shes bottling something " Sonic" like what?" Sky" ( don't make me spell it out ...) I think shes like manic and pushing herself putting his hands in his pockets " Sonic" she probably has that from sally, she would always push herself and over think alot, but she never really came to me about anything" Sky" well maybe you should ask her just to be sure shes okay" Sonic" heheh.. its funny dude you always come off like I'm a bad parent " Sky" well I don't want to say that, I'm just very perspective, I pick up on little things, I'm the same with nova and snowfall, any tiny little thing that's off you notice even when it comes down to there eating habits " Sonic" your starting to sound like kathy right now "



Sky" kathy's not bad is she?" Sonic" lets just say she fits amy's role nicely he laughed " Sky" as sonic laughed at his own comment sky just facepalmed trying not to respond Sonic" but in all seriousness the kids are going to have ups and down and rough patches I'm glad manic's making his own way up the hills be it through the training with lein-da or even sonia getting help from you guys, I'm kind of sorry I was coming off a bit possessive " Sky" ( thats good! but you need to have more! do something for the kids that only you can do! can you be more then just the fun one!? ) "



Sonic" but answer me this, are you keeping anything from me that I should know about?" Sky" your her father dude you should know... " Sonic" I'm not trying to be accusatory I'm just putting it out there " Sky" maybe being a knight of acorn was a bit much for her , even she doesn't get why she was chosen, some times we don't get an answer either , but we understand them as we grow older " Sonic" I'm sure sally did, and she dropped that like a rock , personally I think she will as well, if shes really like her mother maybe she'll reject the whole royal junk altogether " Sky" then why don't you help with the- ><- " Sonic" help with the what?" Sky" nothing holding his head Sonic" so you are hiding something " Sky" I'm not...*sigh* sonic just talk with sonia okay? I don't know what it is but I feel something is pressing her, maybe it the council or maybe its external pressures from the role who knows? my only thing is just be her father :/ " Sonic" again your making it sound like I'm a bad parent sonia knows I'm here for her , I'm trying not to be over protective and I'm trying to let them have there space I'm open always for them , jsut like sally is " Sky" No one want to talk to a clown about serious issues!! "



from a distance blaze over heard sky yell out asshe cupped her mouth in worry



Blaze" (oh not again) ><;; "



Sky" Sky" pacing the ground Father of Chaos, mother of Sol you cant even read the signs of your own daughter or son for that matter, I will give you credit sonic your not a bad parent, you've been doing great, even being there for manic training him sometimes it can feel bad that you can't handle everything but you have friends who can with that stuff " Sonic" well I've gone to you guys haven't I ? so whats the problem?" Sky" I go my mom if I feel like I'm not doing enough emotionally, and I would talk to my master if I felt like my skills aren't at the level I believe or maybe I'm being too hard on myself, you have certain parents for certain things, maybe sonia wants you for some emotional support given the junk with the royal sword and stuff but if your always going to be a clown maybe shes not confident in your approach " Sonic" well not every kid is like nova maybe she needs help in other ways, I can pick up on the fact shes a little stressed about the royal sword and even the council isn't helping" Sky" so you know !? Sonic" how do you know?" Sky"... o o... are you... are you honestly playing games with me ". Sonic" I think you are firstly , I told you I know my kids, but you don't trust me, I know sonia may have unloaded on you once or twice but she can do it, I know she can, " Sky" so you were playing dumb with me , just so you could find out if she vented about the sword lessons and stuff, " Sonic" well I had a feeling she would talk to you before me, I only learned about it from sally and I don't like it either but they won't listen to me and they barely listen sally" Sky" then why don't you fire your council ^^" Sonic" its not that easy " Sky" its easy for me ^w^ you do what I say or your out the door"



Sonic" yeah thats called a dictatorship " Sky" its called a monarchy BE a monarch! " Sonic" I'm not really the type to tell others what to you, we have rules in place we all follow " Sky" Ahhhhhhh you make my head hurt! your a damn king get it through your skull! even if shes chosen you are in a position where you can make the call, whither she takes the role or not! the fact you want to go through the legal system for checks and balance sake instead of just saying " hey shes my daughter and she doesn't want to then she doesn't have to" puts stress on her and the idiots in chairs still believe they have some semblance of power ! "



Sonic"and you think waving your dick around like a big shot is just as good?" Sky" lesser of two evils?" Sonic" more like one extreme or the other " maybe you should try to work with some of the folks you have grips with instead of always getting emotional, cause its not exactly healthy " Sky" I look back on the last 13 years of us fighting to defeat eggman , and you would fight me ever step of the way when I wanted to end his stupid life, "working" with you gave me borderline depression , at least in the previous timelines " Sonic" then why bring up things that doesn't exist anymore" Sky" because its the only thing that snaps you back to reality! "



Sonic" sorry the world can't be a fantasy like you want it," Sky" I want a fantasy? I just want the kids to be happy and healthy " Sonic" yeah by your code of conduct" Sky" I think I more lenient then others " Sonic" here a real parenting tip for you , every kid learns in different ways, some need it soft some need it rough, some learn better on there own and some learn better being held by the hand , not everyone is a mama's boy like you " Sky"..........." Sonic" maybe those were the reasons blaze and even sally didn't grow attached to your right away, they saw a child that needed nurturing not a warrior that needed a damsel to save "



sky turned away as her looking up towards the sky with a dark haze over his eyes as he let out a heavy sigh in a whip shot of a second he changed to his wolf form swinging his arm towards sonic unleashing a trail of ice spike towards him, sonic quickly dodged out the way

Sonic" always the emotional reaction isn't it " Sky" since you want hit sore spots, lets not forget sally had to die twice, marry shadow , threaten you with divorce and date a monkey before you finally woke the fuck up~ " Sonic" ..........." Sky" hell maybe your right I'lI be a mama's boy and join the kingdoms, I get two wives and nova and snowfall get another brother and sister~ hows that for spreading the love~ XD "



sonic charges towards sky



Blaze" grrrr ><.... kathy I really hate to bother you but- " ( Vosh) Note" Don't worry I see it and I'm watching it, just let them get it out of there systems for a minute then I'll jump in " Blaze" why DX" Vosh" men will always be men " Blaze" - -;; "





inside one of the offices

wildfire was busy with paper work having some written assignments to work on



Wildfire" mocking you have to show up for work at least 3 days out the week~ bitch! you don't need me here everyday, I got my own work to sort out XP in the interesting stuff only happens when your having meetings, anything else I can handle over the terminals , its not that hard... unless working for him has some level of attendance required " Rain-su" master wildfire given your highly granted position by the king does not mean you should not show respect, yes regulations and work have a se t level of attendance required even by the royals themselves, do I so please ask you should respect to your employer T T" Wildfire" yes of course, what is he going to do? reprehend me? I'm here to help him when it come to business meetings and negotiations, I'm already paying taxes what more could he do " ( CRASHHH!!) Rain-su"Good heavens! DX Wildfire" o o;; suddenly the loud noise shook the castle a bit given they were on the second level of the castle the both of them headed to the balcony to see what was happening



in the training field sonic was smashed against the outer walls of the castle with a cluster of ice surrounding him as sky was walking towards him in his wolf form



Sky" I'm finally gonna show you the difference between you and me , mister speed of sound, " Sonic" heh.. what your finally bring out your garden scythe on me , something I knew you always reframed from doing cause you were scared of hurting someone , or me even" Sky" yeah I was I wanted to use that only against enemies that truly deserved it but right now your not worth that courtesy, I have something better putting his hands together as clusters of ice formed around him it as he crafted a sword then weliding it in his hand I'm gonna go a little classic on you with one swing of the sword he let out a streak of ice towards sonic buth e dashed adn dodged it making another with each swing (Shinggg!)



Sky" ( you always think your hot shit! ( Shing!) always thinking you can best everyone (Shign!) even after the thing you had to give up to come back I thought you would be humbled! you would have changed but now I guess that only lasted so long! nothing ever changes with you! suddenly sonic zigzagged between the ice closing on on sky tackling him with a spindash Sonic" are you someone who always talks about being consistent , I'm following your rule book I thought you were happy I'm finally doing just that! slamming into sky but he blocked it with his sword as he pushed back heavily Sky" yes I was! I remember the days we went out with the guys, the conversation were fun! I felt like it was like old times! I felt like we could be friends again! lifting sonic up over his head throwing his weight away dodging his spindash altogether, but sonic recovered landing on his feet comig ot a sliding stop Sonic" okay so what changed why couldn't we keep that going?" Sky" I don't know, you tell me! my ideals seem to be such a hindrance to you we cant just disagree agreeably " Sonic" lets be real dude you are soft on alot of things you should be soft on" Sky" and your hard on things you shouldn't , you never strck me asa got who would be hooked on legalities considering the fact you make sally hold up the torch all alone" Sonic" and I taught her that she didn't have to, tell me this dude , why did she consitantly come running back to me if I'm so bad, when; if she dated everyone else including you, what is the key piece " Sky" stock home?" familiarity" Sonic" I treat her like a equal , everyone else including you baby her , you act like shes a child that needs help, I told her straight shes going over board, shes being dumb over thinking it, she needs to take it easy and relax yeah she would hate it but in the end look where we sit , I think that shows how strong my methods were , if you want you could say, I treated he equally adn didn't look down on her he smirked



Sky" @w@ you...motherfucker you wil lnot play this card, well when she was gonna leave you you treated her fairly adn you refused to budge on your value you wouldn't kill for her she didn't want your so called equality then why was that? ! " Sonic" I'll be fair I screwed up then I had to show a bit of favoritism and be there for her instead of leaving her on her own" Sky" pacing...do you know what amy always chased you, why mina loved you? hell I'll let you in on a little secret" Sonic" what you dated lein-da? " Sky" Grrr... taking the sword in his hand NO throwing the sword towards him suddenly it splintered into many shards feeling unpressed sonic dashed dodging the ice shards getting close to sky punching him straight in the stomach taking it ( Cough!) Sky" Grr...something.. my master told me about women... they tend to the garden, and the men watch over that garden, and make sure no one gets in as sky gripped on his wrist as he changed to his fox form* , you watched over everyone garden so carefully , you loved the praise from you but the the one garden you left unprotected because you felt she could handle it! women want assurance and protection not solider watch tower (Fwwooosshhhh!!) suddenly sky unleashed a blast of fire ingulfing them both in it as suddenly it turned into a fire tornado as sonic tried to turn the flames on him burning away all the ice clearing away the stage



as the flames vanished and the ice melted away soaking up the field turnign the field into a humid sauna both of them were still locked in the same stance afterwords starring each other down

Sky" face it sally felt un safe with you while you were busy with other gardens, hell even helping others liek tails, everyone had protection but some more then others" Sonic" whatabout you then.. should I have left you to struggle then. I remember you said I was our hero , don't think I never heard your complaints your need for revenge your desire to avenage everyone who suffered, but maybe I didn't want you to ruin yourself for that cause , you were meanr for so much more " Sky" I didn't ask fro your help! , always helping everyone instead of those that needed it kicking off him everyone hero instead of the ones who need it, then has the nerve to get jealous when she got new protector " Sonic" T T " Sky" smirks khan was more attentive, antoine was attentive, hell even I was ^^ it doesn't matter if that's what she really needs or not its what she wants "



Sonic" being really kind of sexist right now if I wanted to be real" Sky" I'm sorry what?" Sonic" women want this, men want that, dude no one talks like this your so stuck up on roles I think thats all you see, I see everyone as people not pieces, maybe age has finally made you see everything as the chess board you always did " Sky" ... I don't- " Sonic" maybe thats why you said you would get two wives? because you never loved blaze like you thought she was just a good piece that suited your needs and so did sally I think there was a reason I was the first*crossing his arms* Sky" then why were you so late to the party when it came to having a family " Sonic" I got ay my own pace " Sky" oryou were so eager to please her because you left her dry for chaos knows how long God forbid she had to finish out cause you were so quick " Sonic" and you had alot of lonly nights having to wait so long " Sky" gritting his teeth dude JUST- ( FOOWWSSHHH!!) O O!? suddenly out of nowhere a flame tornado appeared between them as blaze appearedi n her proto form as the flames cleared



ProtoBlaze" Since you want to call my husband sexist for fulfilling his role let me get alittle real on your ass. we all have jobs sonic, but we all fullfill them in our own ways , I watch over my kingdom my kingdom is my garden, angel island is kathy's garden, Mobotropolies is nicole's garden , and the acorn kingdom was sally's but you were so focused on one you forgot something important, checking on the gardener. the garder still needs personal care, something you never perused! everyone was a check box like you managed store, wome nwantot know there loved and cherished for just as much as the garden they tend to, as she looked towards sky which is everything every one of our husbands give us , but you left that slip with sally. you learned your lesson and your relationship is improving and you've grown but it seems liek you still have some thign that remain unchanged "



Sonic" to think all this cause because I just wondered was sonia alright" Sky" Amazing how Shit gets out of hand huh!? as flames suddenly calmed down reutrning to her base form takinga deep breathe Blaze" I'm sorry for the scare but your comments were striking a nerve " Sonic" ehe no hard feelings, we all have our moments " Blaze" sure, and if sky is just as dedicated as he always is, I wouldn't mind sharing as she left him on that comment " Sky" well Ithink that speaks for itself Sonia" come on blaze gonna leave me like that " Blaze" no sonia is ready for you, and jsut make sure shes alright ~ " looking at the training field seeing it was a complete wreck* ....jack is gonna have kittens over this... "



as sky walked off to cool off, he dropped by the kitchen grabbing a glass bottle of root beer



Sky" ahh.. comfort food " Wildfire" you know I've love to see you with two wives " Sky" * cough!* turning behind him and wildfire was standing with his arms crossed with a smirk Wildfire" I saw your little tussle with sonic , he was right about one thing though, it doesn't make much to get you riled up " Sky" hmph... " Wildfire" I know you really try to hold a poker face but its hard, and even if you hold good cards in your hand, even a good hand is worthless if your opponents know your holding something important " Sky" maybe thats why I got you and slice " Wildfire" can't depend on us forever, you need to take notes watch our steps and pick up where we lead " Sky" thank you master Campfire I will take your wisdom to the grave" Wildfire" call me campfire again and I'll "meet you at the foot of that grave " Sky" now whos emotional lP " Wildfire" T T....*sigh* fine you can have that one, but jsut keep in mind what I said casue will be having that so called meeting wiht the castral nation remember, cause they want to patch things up" Sky" hmmm I'll look forward to that finishing his soda ahh~ " Wildfire" also you talk like a cartoon character " Sky" what do you mean?" Wildfire" "I'll show you the difference between you and me" what do you get your quotes fro ma comic book?" Sky" piss off you Godfather at least I don't talk like I'm a TV crime drama " listen you want my help?, you listen to me, you respect me, or you'll be done in by me , do you follow me? fucking mafia shit.. " Wildfire" well at least you can tell who's the adult " Sky" campfire "



meanwhile

Sonia" well that was eventful > >.... " Sonic" well you know how sky can be" Sonia" yeah kind of, anyway I think I'm gonna take a shower " Sonic" oh brownie one more thing" Sonia" hm? " Sonic" maybe its high time I put my foot down, I 'm glad your improving with the sword stuff, but I'm gonna stress to the council its gonna be on your terms and you do things at your pace, whither they like it or not okay ^^ " Sonia" suddenly a smile appeared on her face okay... thanks dad" Sonic" it what I'm here for ~ Sonia" hugs him tightly love you" Sonic" love you too brownie~ "

Sonia" heh I said don't call me that anymore xD" Sonic" well you'll always be a brownie to me xD " Sonia" eheh "



zooming out you saw kathy watching everything from a portal



Kathy" Hala-fucking-luya!! they could handle there own shit lying out on the couch Knuckles" there getting better~ Kathy" does it have to take so much = = " Knuckles" well every house hold is different" Kathy" alittle too different " Knuckles" hey what was that secret sky was going to mention? " Kathy" >w>... hey isn't' the pizza burning?" Knuckles" DAMN IT! running to the kitchen

*back at the castle*



Sky" sorry about the comment about the twice wives I just-" Blaze" I know you said it to piss him off, as did I " Sky" did you mean it though? " Blaze" I'm not sharing you with anyone" Sky" so we're on the same page , sol queen " Blaze" my sol king~<3

Nova" only during my classes with darkfire hell one of them even tried ot help me cheat on a test until I shooed him away XP Niyako "heh" Nova" so anyway , open it you still have to imprint yourself " Niyako" wha?" Nova" you'll get it when you open it "



Niyako" opening the letter suddenly the text went from a completely foreign language to reflecting text her could read

Niyako" Ahh Ahhh what the?!

Nova" no idea, letting my dad handle that part >w> " Niyako" ahahah xD "



switching scenes



we arrive at the castle of Obsidian as the maids and the workers were steadily gettign everything ready, cleva was starring at a invite in her hands with a worried face



Soul" oh sweetie what wrong ;w; you shouldn't look so down, given the big event around the corner~ " Cleva" I know but...*sigh* I want kathy to come, and I want her to meet muffet but shes terrified of spiders ;w; and its not like I don't understand but shes so sweet and I know she would love her " Soul" ahhh fear of spiders, I been down that road when I started living here. when I learned there were creatures in the wild that were jsut living slime I sort of ... never left the castle sometimes > >" Cleva" huh?" Soul " sigh yes I have a thing with slime XP " Cleva" miss gothic queen herself allows everything under the sun but you draw the line at slime? Soul" hey I said I was weird ah didn't say I ah perfect TwT crossing her arms Cleva" so what did you do " Soul" the only thing I could do~ exposure therapy, Cid would taking me to what would consider eda "park" and allowed me to become familiar with the creatures here some of the slime that I was terrified of slowly started to warm up to me, hell I even fed one like at ah petting zoo XD " Cleva" cute ^^ " Soul" then Cid forgot this slice can expend itself three times its size and decided ot bear hug me as a form of affection, after pulling me out of it like a mass of giant jello I was petrified for the rest of the day " DarkHeart" I remember that day, she cried all night too " Soul " BUT I think it helped me get of it somewhat > > " Cleva" but I don't want to scar kathy I jsut want her to say hi " Soul " listen I had to convince poison to let wildfire and alicia come, adn I'll go give there invites personally when I'm on my trip I'll kathy a visit too and maybe I can help give her a bit of confidence to come by for a bit ^w^ " Cleva" yeah I know they will love it here ""



Maid1" more mortals coming" Miad2" I wonder what they will look like?" Maid3" what will they smell like it " Cleva =w= " Soul" so with that out the way I for a surprise for yooooooou ~~ <3 * grabbing her hand and pulling her along to one of her rooms of the castle, reaching into a chest on the night stand she grabbed a crystal necklace ta-da its a transformation amulet it can change your appearance~ Cleva" why would I want to change ?" Soul" c this is a spider amulet your appearance will be similar to the native spider breeds that live here " Cleva" so Ican be like muffet XD" Soul "yeah give it a go~ " as cleva put the amulet on in second a light took over her as her body changed her clothes even changed to match her new body well how do I look" Soul" the real question is how do you see XD " Cleva" looked at her self in the mirror and saw she had 5 eyes another two sets of arms oh my gosh.. " Soul " well ? too much maybe " Cleva" do you have a wedding dress I can wear with this ;w; I know poison will hate it but I don't care " Soul" girl we are going to get along just fine~ , the skunk spider queen is on her way <3 as both of them high fived



with in obsidian's study

Obsidian" something wrong poison you look alittle unnerved " Poison" I sense a disturbance in the air specifically with cleva "



to be con.

Elsewhere

back in Sugar's, mobius

at there home in the forest



Zuzu" grinding in rivals of aether * ( Gremling...!) ( HEY Gremling!) ... suddenly surge rushed into the room Surge" zuzu! " Zuzu" trying to grind everyone on very hard here its not exactly a easy task DX " Surge" nuts to that , listen, you said you came from another world right?" Zuzu" yeah zeti's tend to be " Surge" and you said this world looked like a hexagon ball right?" Zuzu" > > yes..? (pause) " Surge" would it be any chance look like that ? as surge pointing to the window, beyond the horizon of the clouds in the sky you could see a small planet looking about the size of a moon if it was with a hexagon pattern leering over mobius



Zuzu" the hidden world... " Surge" not exactly hidden now is it " Zuzu" but why would it appear? " Surge" does it normally do this?" Zuzu" well um... I'm not entirely sure* rubbing her head nervously* Surge" are we gonna have mor gremlins running around " Zuzu" I hope not- I MEAN I'm not really sure ehehe Surge" T T" Zuzu" Look! why are you interrogating me?! I don't know DX Surge" its your planet! " Zuzu" to be real it has a mind of its own! its just as alive as we are! " Surge" I swear to chaos... " suddenly kit knocks on the door Kit" guys, mom wants us down stairs "



down stairs sugar was on the phone with zavok

Zavok" I assure this is not my doing , the planet itself must have other means or perhaps someone has go through the means of summoning more zeti" Sugar" well I sure hope you "didn't" have anything to do with this otherwise your gonna find this chain where it shouldn't be ( Ch-Ling!) popping the chain link a whip* Zavok" o o;;; w-we will get to the bottom of this right away! ( Click!) >< " sugar tried her best to compose herself as the kids arrived Zuzu" don't burn zavok too soon the hidden world.." Sugar" has a mind of it own, I know he told me that as well, another possibility is that someone could have tried to bring forth more zeti too " Surge" but why? Sugar" zavok believes it to force you 7 out and bring on a new group , Zuzu" I don't think that would be good many of us don't' get along in one place xD " Kit" what are we going to do?" Sugar" well amy already contacted zavok and said they want to dispatch a team to go investigate and they want zuzu to go with them as a guide " Zuzu" eheheh.... Like hell!, I still remember being locked in that cage while they blew that damn whistle to the point of tears trying to get me to answer something I didn't know " Sugar" don't remind me... but as much as I don't' want it , zavok is having some investigate possible links of who might be trying to summon forth more zeti, and more zeti would be a bad thing so that means I want you lot to go and see what all this is about" Surge" all of us !?" Sugar" well me being the mayor I have to hold down the fort but you know you can call me if you need me " Zuzu" who can we get there we can't exactly fly?



Restoration base



Zuzu" of course....." Tails" taking the Freedom airship we should be able to get there in no time " Surge" so glad will be working together " Sonix" hey we're not exactly any happier about then you but you know the saying the enemy of my enemy is my friend" Zuzu" no, the enemy of my enemy is my meat shield grins Amy" alright everyone lets not fight were all here on the same page adn I hope we can work together to figure out whats going on, zuzu your more knowledgeable on what we can expect, and honestly the most trusting out of your circle seeing sugar looks after you, Zuzu" hmm" Amy" meanwhile sonix and the diamond cutters wil lbe your forces to fight off any threats " Surge" wheres silver? I thought he'd be here" Amy" silver is with zavok and hes our ground defense , so the sooner we head off the sooner can we can get ahead of the threat...! " Tangle" yeah, lets do it! " as zuzu looked at them she quietly hid behind surge turning her head while whisper still havea hint of guilt on her face ... without wasting time they departed for the hidden world



while on there way, surge and kit were sitting ina lobby area while zuzu turned int o snake wrapped around surges neck



Zuzu"........." Surge" ...*sigh* come on zuzu you can't stay mad forever , and wasn't it the sheep that did all that shit anyway not whisper or tangle" Zuzu" I heard they made peace and trying to patch things up with her, so your spitting me in my face my pain because your want your precious diamond cutters back together! ... kiss my ass" Surge" when the hell was this?" Kit" I heard a few days ago, tangle and whisper went to talk to lanolin and finally convinced her that all of the zeti aren't evil lanolin is trying to rebuild bridges and she was going to wait before trying to make amends with zuzu if at all" Surge" well apologizes will happen eventually, she can't exactly do much, but right now shes not even the one I'm worried about > >"

(Groaaaaans) Surge" takes zuzu off her next* alright if your stomach grows in my ear one more time" Zuzu" I can't help it I just haven't eaten anything since this morning" Surge" why T T Zuzu" like I said grinding take hours" Surge" well get something from the freaken vending machine rolling her up in a ball and throwing her towards the hall I swear your always hungry" as zuzu changed back to her normal form as she landed on the ground Zuzu" XP fine "



Kit" are you sure we shouldn't go with her?" Surge" she'll be fine, its down the hall what can happen "



upon saying that zuzu went to the vending machine ordering a fruity granola bar that got stuck

Zuzu" ohh for pete sake come on DX banging on the side before just leaning her head on the door I knew I should have eaten that leftover pizza before we left... suddenly she felt something bumping against her shoulder and it was one of the wisps with the bar in hand holding it out for her, while behind them whisper was standing



Whisper" h-hi " Zuzu " oh library girl nice to see you " Whisper" I've been called alot of things but library girl is new " Zuzu" taking the bar from the wisp thank you" Whisper" I over heard your talk with surge and well..*sigh* I wanted to say I'm sorry " Zuzu" didn't you have more grips with surge then me? its her you should say sorry to :/ Whisper" still we are all at fault in one way or another , even after I heard of the death of mimic I've had the chance to do a little reflecting and I owe you both an apology, I don't think I can make it up right away but I at least want to show I acknowledge I was wrong " Zuzu" well I can at least let surge know your sorry, " Whisper" and lanolin wish to apologize hersel- (Skirrrr!!) ><;; zuzu quickly clawed her nails against the machine cutting whisper off um.." Zuzu" ... as she stayed quiet you could see her teeth growing sharper you know like that saying you creatures have, if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all, well I'm trying not not to say anything, because what she did to me just because I was zeti was not fun! and she wants to be sorry, she can say it in my face * digging her claws into the machine(Crack!) "



Whisper".........." Zuzu" I have nothing against you, but that lamb... I pull this nicely as she form started to change into a feral wolf I'm in the mood for a lamb chops! or a greek gyro... those are always good walking passed whispers who was still left a bit shaken I will give surge a good word for you "



whisper took a deep breathe as she leaned against the wall

Whisper" I don't think I mind being a library girl... leaning against the vending machine suddenly all of the food spilled out of it o o;;; ( Crashhhh!)







time was short as they arrived at the hidden world, arriving on a designated location that looked similar to green hill zone, touching down the lot o them walked out seeing the landscape for the first time



Sonix" oh wow sure looks alot like home almost " Zuzu" that the thing about our planet it literally copy's environments and ecosystems like on your planet and makes sections look just like it, temperature , plants sometimes the fruits that grow too" Kit" what about the animals?" Zuzu" the one thing it can't copy, however the creature native to our world will try to copy your animals " Surge" ahahahah! so what the hell are we gonna see? a flying hexagon with a mouth trying to act like a bird or something"



Zuzu" points to the very thing surge jsut described, it was a furred looking hexagon with black dots for eyes on opposing sides , its feet were non existent as it appeared it levitated in the air but just as surge said it was acting like a normal bird would along with others doing the same Surge" o o...... okay, shut me up > >" Tangle" this place deserve a nature documentary just for the environment itself " Tails" well I got the next best thing, robo pup can record anything he finds while we're on this investigation ~ " Lanolin" well zuzu your the guide from here on our so if someone were to try and summon this place where would it be from?" Zuzu" well like I said I'm no expert, but if you want my best guess we have floating cities Lanolin" floating city" Sonix" if thats the case we could have just came flying to trying these cities " Zuzu" not really, cause take a look as zuzu pointed everyone attention to the edge of the platform and below them they saw are in the distance the planet had a gaping void that looks like it traveled inside the planet but quickly the void was filled out with hexagon surfaces that were silver and metallic looking like a city Kit" a it just appeared" Whisper" it just appeared all on its own " Zuzu" yeah " Sonix" well in that case he might might cover more ground if we split up " Tails" I can setup the base came here with lanolin, surge , sonic since your both the fastest you can search the perimeter setting up search beacons just so I can get a firm idea of where we are on the planet " Surge" ( I had a feeling...) Sonix" eheh hope I won't be too quick for you" Surge" I'll I'll be just fine bleachy try and fucking keep up ( Kssiiiittt!) without a second thought surge bolted off before sonic Sonic" well thats a little rude isn't it " sonic chased after her*



Zuzu" this whole trip is gonna go ass up isn't it... " Tails" why would you say that??" Zuzu" the writing on the wall " Kit" I should have gone with her " Tails" um actually kit, whisper I'll need your help on site " Kit" having a bit of a side eye towards tails as he sighed to himself



meanwhile

back on the surface at the zavok's home base



Zazz" s oyou gonna come clean and tell her you brought planet here?" Zavok" thats jsut it! I didn't, and even if I did you really want to test her patience?" Zazz" its obvious you want to test something else ahahah! " Zavok" enough zazz the sensors did locate someone using our energy to contact our home world the only question I have now is who" Zor" tsk! zor thinks it was a inside job, a way to frame up make up look bad T T Zavok" zor things that, huh, rubbing his chin



flashback



Zavok" what do you mean?! ( Whak! ) Aghh! Zir hit him on the head with his cane Zir" look at yourself! you've grown soft! passive, listening to that echidna " Zavok" sugar has power that can benefit our cause I jsut need ot persuade her to our side, it will take some time but she wil lcome around" Zir" from what I'm seeing opposite is happening, she might be helping us gain some level of ground wiht these creatures but it feel more under a leveled playing field and NOT as the conquerors" Zavok" playing the long game is never fun old man , you think I like this either " Zir" .....hmph I see it in your eyes zavok affection has clouded your mind, and that emotion has turned into admiration and that has turned into idolization and now you enjoy being the very thing I trained you not to be, a slave" hearing this zavok immedately went feral with rage as he punched the wall denting it ( WHAM!!) ( ROOOAARRR!)



Zavok" HOW DARE YOU!! after everything I've established! once eggman was taken down I helped us take control of his empire! landing us a solid foot hold on the planet! reformatting his machines and technology to follow our commands, establishing bases across the continent turning the eggman empire into the Seven Sin Dynasty , my image my rule all soon to be made a reality and the best part, the people will welcome it! I work smarter not harder and I will not throw that chance away because your impatient ! Sir" and what of Sugar? are you going to wait to pull her to your side or will you get close enough to finally find her weakness and dispose of her? " Zavok" she is not so simple to handle.. and even after I've gather the chaos emeralds she will be a problem, Zir" then seek to control her" Zavok" you don't understand how she is, you make one wrong move with her and its all over! " Zir" ... I had such high hopes for you zavok, you were my prime student but I can see even you still have weakness I could not iron out of that hardened body of yours, but then again all swords rust eventually as he took his leave



* zavok glanced at himself in the mirror as he thought about all the times sugar showed him hints of her real self and remembering the images of mephlies she showed him, as he grit his teeth he punched the wall (Bam)

Zavok" ... .." find a weakness"... shes on a completely different then us! even when shes just playing around she's too much! >< suddenly images of killer came to mind ...in order ot defeat such an enemy I have to become them its the only way... "



end



Zavok" have you seen zir?" Zir" nope" Zavok" contact zeena shes in charge until I return " Zazz" where are you going" Zavok" I'm going ot make a request " oh and by the off chance zir plans to betray us , he is marked kill on sight is that understood?" Zazz" Ohhhh Mutiny ! now things are getting interesting! " Zavok" and one more thing" Zazz" ??" Zavok" if I don't return, I relinquish control over to sugar " Zazz" huh?! whoa whoa where are you going what the hell are doing?" suddenly he opened upa warp ring Zazz" Zavok! ignoring zazz completely he out right left Zazz" .......what the hell is with everyone?! can't just make shit simple and be cartoon villains! "



???

Zir" so what do you think " ???" first I need to give zavok a reality check, second that echidna isn't going to be a issue seeing her chicks are easy picking, and given the tension among the flocks it won't be too hard~" Zir" well then I'm leaving the plans to you Zash * as he talking

to black dragon looking zeti slim and body type but muscled, yellow stripped horns but one of them was broken, his eyes were blue, matching the pigment on his claws adn the spikes on his tail* Zash" this will be simple cracking his knuckles "





back with surge and sonic

a random location that looked close to a factory

Surge" "this will be simple" they all say as she kicked a can we've been scooping for almost 2 hours and not one sign of anyone. I was hoping to find someone " Sonic" hey maybe you should learn to relax a bit take a minutes to stop and free the breeze and who knows maybe your missing something" Surge" oh my Chaos! can you shut up for more a second! I don't know whats worse? your condescending cheer? or your forced positivity " Sonix" well I wouldn't say I'm condescending or that I'm forcing anything for a start " Surge" why not just being fucking real, I know you hate me and you hate my mother just like whisper stop. fucking. pretending. " Sonix" well eheh if you want to stop pretending maybe you should first " Surge" what do you mean?" Sonix" maybe for a fresh start if you come clean we have a fresh start adn possibly try to find your real parents " Surge"...... what....do you say....? Sonix" surge is just a monster shes not your real mother if you want to about pretending I think you and brother have been pretending for the lest first putting his hand on his hip



during there conversation Zash arrived hidden using a camouflage as he suddenly over heard there conversation



Surge" take that back..." Sonix" what I thought you wanted me to stop pretending, stopping with the forced cheer I'm only doing what you asked " Surge"...I said take that back!..* suddenly her body started to vibrate" Sonix" hey I'm trying to help I'm not trying to make you upset " Surge" ( VOOM!!) suddenly surge burst out a explosion of energy as she rushed sonix in less then a second tears welled in her eyes as she thrust her fist towards him but he caught her first until they other started exchanging blows over and over again as energy surged through the landscape*



Zash" o o;; fucking hell, I didn't have to do anything there already at each others throats*

each blow unleashed shockwave that left its mark on the terrain until eventually surge was sent flying back to the ground

Surge" coughing...blagghhh! ( damn it.. getting dizzy... not... not now >< ) Sonix" standing as he had a few marks and scratches himself done having your little temper tantrum? " Surge" standing to her feet why.. the hell are you like this you calm to be hero but your nothing but a monster yourself your just ..heartless. towards everyone's pain! Sonix" I'm not heartless I just look at things with a clear lens, I'm not emotional, I'm not bias and I don't hold grudges, I see things and people for who and what they are and I just handle it as it should be " Surge" oh really..heheh oh really ahaha.. then tell me this hero! a couple of days ago I was out , I heard some women talking one of them possibly looked like my mother I just had a feelings, shes was talking and laughing wihta group of other women who talked about selling there children off for money , she possibly sold me off to starline ^^ to a lab rat, through a system that kept it under wraps! you talk about finding my real mother? MY MOTHER GAVE ME UP FOR A BIT OF CASH! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY TO THAT MISTER HERO!? WHAT SPEECH CAN YOU SHIT OUT FOR ME?! as tear s welled in her eyes as she grit her teeth



Sonix"........ you made it this far haven't yuo? Surge"......." Sonix" life maybe dealt you a bad hand but you came pretty far didn't you? , don't let your past define you, you can still shape your future, without the shackles of people from your past , you can make yourself whatever you want be it on your own or with your brother " " Surge"..............* having a shocked look on her face asshe held her head down* ...hhehe....heheh... holding hr head ahahahah Aahhahah AHAHAHAHAHAH!...ahah.. ha ha.. hah.. ha h ughhaha ..*sob*....*pant*... you said a bunch of words that meant nothing... you just proven that you don't have an answer for anyone... your a monster that smiles in peoples faces, thats all you are ... killer might eat people but she gave me and kit a mother, a roof over our heads and she treats us like her own, she says she loves us hugs us, asks if we're okay shes .. shes our mother and you don't want to accept that she-" Sonix" cause shes not " Surge" why?! why go at her but starline you don't say a thing!? he brainwashed me and kit into being your carbon copies " Sonix" he was no good either I'm not excusing him " Surge" then what do we have!? " Sonix" make your own way " Surge" how!? just live on the land? aimlessly" Sonix" go where the road takes you if it took you to killer then I guess it works out for you" Surge" if thats the case why are you so against her? " Sonix" she kills and eats people I still have to up hold my stance whither shes you know a mother figure for you guys or not I'm just trying to be consistent" Surge" PFFFTTT Consistent!? " Sonix" I didn't show any mercy when you guys were causing havoc for others when starline was still around, and I'm not treating you any different even when your with killer " Surge" but you had mercy for eggman even when the metal virus was at its peak , do you know what that caused people? I still know folks who are still

traumatized by those days" Sonix" I try not to focus on the small stuff, and focus on the bigger picture" Surge" the omelet mentality you can't cry over every egg is that it? " Sonix" it doesn't mean I don't understand , and I believe everyone can pull through in there own way just like how I do in life , everyone can "



Surge" ... twisting the cramps out of her neck before spitting out a bit of blood you know what, I don't care, if killing you will make me a villain? I'll wear that badge with honor because I know I killed a monster that pretends to care for others " Sonix" you want to go another round sure, I got all the time in the world~ "



( ZOOM, WHOOOSHH!!)

back at the base



suddenly kit was started waking up from a short sleep, being near tails was working steadily on the computer , whisper was keeping look out



Kit" ( haven't heard much from sonic or surge in a bit I hope there getting along ) as he stood up have I missed anything?" Tails" oh kit your awake, nothing much zuzu and lanolin are about to set up the last beacon and then we should have a full scoop of the area from here" Kit" are you sure it was good letting go on there own , tension is little strong right now " Tails" I trust lanolin besides tangle is with them so if they start beefing I'm sure she'll break them up " Kit" well I suppose that's alright > > "



as whispered remained focused as she was using her scope to keep an eye on them from there location, zuzu had just set up the beacon with



Tangle" whoo last one! now we can head back xD" Zuzu" mhm" Tangle" also I wonder if anyone had anyone had anything they wanted to get off there chest cause you know its been bothering them for a while >w> ?" Lanolin" subtle tangle...*she sighed* " Zuzu" its not like it wasn't going to happen "



Lanolin" listen... zuzu I.. I'm sorry" Zuzu" ....sorry for what? accusing me of withholding information that I didn't have, or making my ears bleed ?" Lanolin" I know its not much and it will take time to patch things, but I was wrong because I was letting my past rule my actions " Zuzu" take a number lamb chops that's everyone," Lanolin" well what would you expect when your whole village gets torn down, I didn't want that to happen again and I've dealt with liars before, and the one time I choose to withhold my mercy I was wrong go figure... " Zuzu" like they say, assuming makes and ass out of you and me~ XD Lanolin" ....." Zuzu" look whisper tried to warn me that you wanted to apologize and try to make up for that whole event, and honestly.. I ran out over and over in my head, I could tear your limbs off, break arms, eat your eyes , crush your breasts like tomato , break your pelvis in half , or pull your horns out shove them in your eyes and watch you bleed out grinning as her eyes glowed a soft red



Tangle" uhh but? I hope there's a but at the end of all that ; " Zuzu" heh.. but you feel guilty enough and you want to make the effort to say your sorry and make it up to me, so how about this, never make that whistle thing again and will call it a start " Lanolin" I'll do you one better reaching in her pocket she brought out the device that could emit the high frequency. turning away she held it up in her hands over her head and in a second ( BAM!) a sniper shot came in and destroyed out immediately*



Zuzu" OwO " Lanolin" there no more bleeding from the ears she smiled softly Tangle she could have took your head off DX " Lanolin" well I took that risk and if she missed well , I think that would have been fair given my attitude towards not just zuzu but you girls as well so I'm sorry for everything" " Zuzu" wow that was pretty ballsz well , like I said its a start and I'm still little spiteful but I'm willing to give you a chance fora fresh start " Tangle" Yay we can all learn fro mour mistakes wrapping them both up in her tail XD " Zuzu" doesn't mean I want to be huggy wuggy care bares! struggling to get away Lanolin" it how she is you'l have to deal with it = = "



back with whispers you could see through her scope you saw them making up asshe smiled to herself

(Beep Beep Beep!!) tails computer was going off

Kity" something wrong!? Tails" what are these energy spikes I'm getting it almost reads liek its coming from- ( Kraack- BOOooommmm!) suddenly in the distance it looked likea lightening strike had touched down in the distance Kit" surge.... "





after the initial strike of the lightening shock touching the ground, as the smoke settled , surge was laying on the ground dirty from the impact barely breathing



Surge" pant....*pant*.. taking everything for herself to move, right after sonic walked up upon her just as battered with dirt and scratches " Sonix" are we done now? or are you gonna give it your second wind" Surge" ... why why go so far... " Sonix" hey you pushed me I responded, maybe next time you shouldn't bit e more then you can chew " ( Sonic?!) in that moment whisper actually arrived on her gear dropping down



Whisper" oh my God, what happened!? did...did you do this to her??" Sonix" we had a bit of a argument and she decided to fight me she was taking it alittle too extreme xD " Whisper" sonic shes barely moving how can you laugh at this...?! " Sonic" I know shes okay shes just winded because she tried to beat me " Whisper" kit is going to lose his head if he sees her like this Sonix" which is why she'll be heading back to the base to rest up I'll head on solo and she can recover back at the ship " Whisper"........ surge can you stand?" Surge" I'm cough*...fine.. I'll be.. fine but..he..*panting softly as whisper held her up, the wisp did there part to help her up just as sonic was about to head off suddenly there wasa another jolt of energy that struck sonic (Ahhh!)



Whisper" !? " appearing from a cloaked position Zash was hovering in the air Zash" I have to say I'm alittle taken back by what I witnessed " Whisper" who are you?" Zash" I'm suppose the villain of your mission but currently I'm calling that role into question given the drama between these tow that took place , but I won't bore you with my opinion the long and short of it he situation, taking you out will be easy now that your winded , no hard feelings- (Whoosshhh!!)....o o...huh... suddenly everyone felt a stillness in the air as whisper also noticed something harsh had chanced where her wisp quickly huddled in her tarp



Zash" what... happened suddenly his vision became split as his body separated down in the middle as his body fell and all ( Splaaaat!) ( Poofff!) as his body hit the ground the remainder of him vanished in cloud of smoke leaving nothing behind *



Whisper" zuzu was right they do vanish into smoke..." suddenly appearing is sugar with a dark shadow over her eyes asshe walked towards them, and at the same time kit arrived seeing surge Kit" Surge! DX " Whispers" shes okay just.. extremely exhausted" Kit" who did this.. " Sonix" we jsut havea bit of a sparring match that got out of hand I know she would be okay " Whisper"...sonic... this... this is horrible" Sonix" hey well it could have been worse" Sugar" oh its going to be, whisper, get them back to the ship can you do that? Whisper" yes" Sugar" kit go with whisper and surge okay" Kit" but what about the mission and sonix I don't want him to get away wiht this-" suddenly she turned her head towards him as her eyes were a blood red Sugar" kit, do as mother says, and go with your sister is that understood?" kit".........okay , lets go whisper* suddenly he created a blanket of water for surge carrying the both of them away from the scene " Whisper" what about sonic. what is she goign ot do" Kit" I don't think sonic will be around after this , " Whisper" .....but sonic must have had- " hit" shaking his head you saw that look in her eyes, you know what that means... " Whisper" going quiet asshe couldnt 'deny how felt and how her wisps were shaking .... "

Sonix" you can't blame me she attacked me first, I was only responding to her , I never put her life in danger " Sugar" if you are hoping ot argue out of this on a technicality I'm sorry I'll have to disappoint you Sonix" so what you want to be a karen because I hurt your kid or so you want to claim anyway " Sugar" this isn't even about this time, or the last time, its for all the times you pushed me, when you killed zuzu, you interfered with starline, refusing to leave me alone , goign after my family , time after time after time again and again, and the worst part you gained nothing from it, why , why go so far to get on my bad side... out of everyone you are the only one who does this..." Sonix" maybe i just got to be me , jsut liek how you just have ot be you, if your a monster that has to kill and manipulate people I have ot be the one that stops you, I don't care you adopt surge or kit there just as guilty as you are, same thing as starline . I was willing to forgive surge and kit cause they were victims of you but I guess there too far gone from the looks of it "



Sugar"...*heavily sigh*....you relaly want to go there way? I want to just kill you right here and now but I know it wouldn't change anything, it wouldn't make you suffer like I want to make you so I have to do the only thing I know that will make you react..." Sonix" like what breaking my legs you always threatened me with that face it your just as much a one trick like me , you have nothing else " Sugar" ...you know what? your right I don't I know amy cares about your stupid butt, I know you have those that are fond of you so maybe I'll just get this out of my system to make myself feel better suddenly she made a heart appear in her hand encased in a bubble of energy still beating " Sonix" whos heart is that? another past victim to piss me off " Sugar "heheh oh you wish..you wish... as she grinned* I'll be nice and give you the first hit "



Sonix" your too nice* as he immediately printed towards her throwing his fist towards her but in that second his hand broke apart into a blood mess* o o...." Sugar" sorry you were too slow~ ( BOOM!) suddenly sonic was launched back fro ma shockwave as he tried to regain himself sugar was already hovering on a platform using her power grabbing him by the head and slamming his face on the ground having him grind against the ground from the dirt to rock and stone



Sugar" I tried to be nice! I tried to be merciful! chance after chance after chance for you to leave me and my family ALONE! but no you kept pushing over and over eventually she lifted his head up after grinding him down to his skull but you never... listened * throwing him off the edge as he fell down to another bio sphere a snow region, in no time sonic body regenerated as he felt himself restored "



Sonx" wha? what the? feeling his face again what did she? suddenly serpents made of ice appeared before him as he tried to run getting away from them ( she must have put me in a dream like state thats why I don't have any damage*

suddenly she appeared above him

Sugar" oh no, that would be me being kin~ I'm beyond that suddenly the ground underneath k his feet became spike coated as he leaped in the air to dodged it Sonix" so what your gonna torture me until I break is that it? part of your sick little game! " (Snatch)* sugars chain grabbed him from the base of the snow slamming him back to the ground into the spikes* Sugar" no I'm going to torture you until I get bored , I know you'll never break and I'll keep healing you so your friends don't get traumatized , its all for the sake of others that borderline worship you as the chain kept repeatedly slamming against the spikes * and the reason I have your heart here in my hands? because I'm keeping you shielded from the stress your body is feeling right now, your heart would have given out by now. the pain and stress won't effect your heart, but everything else eheh well you'll suffer every bit of it hugging it because just like killer you can't have sugar without the bitter aftertaste ( KAsushhhh!!) ?! suddenly a streak of blue lightening started ot form as sonix launched up breaking through her chains and scorching her body leaving her burned by his spin dash



Sonix" at least I got one good hit on you, maybe that shows your getting old " Sugar" restored herself well, this would have been boring anyway if you just caved in* so how about little payback~ Sonix" like what?" ( Slice Slice ) suddenly she cut his legs off Sugar" remember when you completely destroyed my basement? and half my house? (Wham!) as she kicked him in the face sending him flying back do you remember when you killed zuzu? when she took that hit for me? ( Vosh!) suddenly she teleported in the air and launched a energy black towards him taking out the whole platform. eventually sonic was given a chance to catch his breathe as his body was already starting to regenerate and sugar already appeared behind him Sugar" do you remember when you bodied my other daughter surge? and said that I wasn't her mother? ... ahahah who am I kidding of course not because nothing matters to you just keep moving forward right (SMASH!) smashing his head into the ground with a energy block ( SMASH!) just keep moving forward (SMash) just keep moving forward! ( SMash!) Come on Sonic or are you too slow ( SMASH) your too slow! Your Too SLOW ( SMASH!!) with each slam blood splattered across the ground



back on the air ship



Surge" ><.... surge eventually opened her eyes " Kit" surge!" Surge"...drippy?" Whisper" your okay! " Surge" wha...sonic.. where's that bastard! Whisper" take it easy, your mother is having...a long talk with him... > >" Surge" oh...( sigh* I couldn't...hold my own, I'm really getting sick of having to be saved" Kit" its alright, your still strong, in many ways, don't comapre yourself ot him holding her hand Surge" still I've been having a damn losing streak, at the tournament , agaisnt the others I've been..I'm falling short, I'm not ..weak I don't want to be... ( Khalon" I don't wantot hear that out of your mouth again!) o o!?" * suddenly lifting her head suddenly khalon was there"

Surge" what the!? khalon?! what are you doing here!? " Khalon" kiara is teaching to how to sense others using chaos energy and I coudl feel your distress, yesh I know its little corny I focused on you first but thats becasue I care, we both won that tournament no joke, you bodied so many strong fighter s that day, don't let what rough did to you make oyu feel like you fell short, your awesome in so many ways always remember that! " Surge" blushes lightly asshe looked away



Khalon" also keep in mind, nova has reaper powers, and can use fire and has a mech dog to help her, and my dad considered her a wet blanket and thinks your stronger then her , so let that sink in" Surge" .w. ......." Khalon" so.. see you soon, love you adn take care >///< opens a portal and leaves Zuzu" awww how precious~ "



Surge" ...* as her face lit up she feel back down on her pillow*... is it possibly to hate and love someone at the same time...> Kit" I think so >w> Whisper " um if its alright for me say, surge I .. I wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I acted towards you, " Surge" < <... - - forget it " Whisper" !?" Surge" , I was an asshole and if I was you I would have been bitter too, I just would have took out the cause not the victim just saying " Whisper" ears lowered " Surge" I just got one condition for a while to patch things up " Whisper" oh, sure anything at all " Surge" your new name is library girl she snickered Whisper"..........." Zuzu" told you it would catch on! AHahah" Surge" library girl ahahah " Whisper" I'm getting bulled aren't I = = " Zuzu" yes you are but we love you anyway library girl smacking her butt Whisper" ><;;; Tangle" hey I'm only allowed to do that ! Whisper" Tangle ! " Tangle" oh..shit sorry that came out wrong DX " kit" well I guess she could up the volume a bit that time "



Tails" I hope sonic is alright he hasn't responded " Whisper" I'm sure he'll respond...soon > >;; "



some time had passed Sugar had sonic hanging by a thorny vine with half his body shredded from the waist down



Sugar" alright, this is gotten dull faster then I was expecting, don't get the wrong idea sonic I'm not a fan of Schadenfreude, but I do need to stress a point with you as she stood up walking towards his body as she grabbed the vine she started swinging him around like a ball on a rope and I'm tired of wasting my energy trying to keep you in one piece ( Thwang!) throwing him to the ground so please I hope this gets through your head, stay away from my kids " Sonix" ..ahh....ahhh... " Sugar" putting his heart back as she healed his body one more time*



Sonix" wh-why not just kill me and be done with it " Sugar" my daughter wants to wear that badge of honor remember ^w^ so I won't take that from her~ but know this and I'm only going ot say this once, discredit me as there mother again or piss me off in ANY way like this again, no more fan fare, no more theatrics I just rip your heart in half and feed your body to my dog, and anyone on your side, will join you. so if you can't keep your trap and ego in check for your own sake; do it for your stupid friends, because I don't want to make a two tailed scarf. are we cool? "

Sonix " c-cool... " Sugar" great now, as you use to say, I'm up over and gone *as she vanished*

Sonix"...no good deed goes unpunished.. "





meanwhile



in silver future, killer's castle , zavok went to have a request for her



we start off with melantha and rabbi walking down the hall



Melantha" and thats why different blood types have different tastes to them " Rabbi" now we just need to start labeling which would be well for making sauces and then we can finally make a pizza XD" Melantha" higher grades being sweeter lower grades hve more of a dull form to giving more change to spice with seasoning that should give a great way to make it- ( YOU INSULT ME! ) ?!! " Rabbi" !?!" suddenly hearing killer stomp her foot down from in the lobby as the two of them saw her fro mthe door way along with mephlies and zavok



Killer" this is nothing but a sick joke, I love it so much, the moment- the "very" moment I start showing a little bit of humility nutjobs start having feelings for me and "you" are not the first, I've dealt with a cult leader my friend dated some years back and now my lesser half as a big red elf trying to impress her , so you believe you can come over here and get help from me then what? go back impress her only to pull a one eighty and double cross? " Zavok" I truely meant no disrespect, if at all I did expect a reaction such as this, overtaking you isa fools errand I understood that much, but another thing I understood was there was much I was lacking I want to be the monster that everyone fears and conquer but everyone around me falls short, even my own mentor. I needed more I needed the true essense of evil and you were only thing close to that vision " Killer" ...hehe hmhm I'm flattered~ suddenly her chains appeared rapping around his neck asshe held him up in the air



Zavok" Agckkk! >< " Killer" firstly you address me as empress, second why not just ask sugar to teach you? or was she not good enough, seeing you cam straight to me and I have less mercy towards you then shes does " Zavok" please .. your empress! > < I meant no disrespect I know trying to over take you or even sugar to a lesser extent would be impossible (Cough) Let me learn your ways! " Mephlies" why not humor him my love? I always find those who come to you willingly curious, those who see you as a deity " Killer" I am no deity, and you are the by product of a God so of course you have the complex to go with it, I however am not T T " Mephlies" that may be but you are collecting the means to create the persona of a empress and pretty soon the army and castle wil lbe complete and did you not please to turn this city into your kingdom? Killer" >w>; " Mephlies" any means to gaining a army is needed and even those who would be willing shows a layer of acceptance and means-" Killer" less power I have to dish out, I know " Zavok" I would expand your reach to my mobius would that be something to your liking?" Killer" no I like having my own piece of pie and taking others will eventually lead to conquest, slayer is still building up that boat and I'll have to cross that damn bridge eventually , having a dragon war on our hands.. she sighed as for you zavok, your wanting to be more? desire to be something I would admire here is something you should understand, me and killer are not the same, she is a product of me and kathy but more of me; luckily if you wish to become more learn it from her not from me because the only thing you will get from me is a swift end and decorative jar " Zavok" Grr...perhaps there was much I still did not understand when it came to you.. this is my final lesson it seems "



Killer" I will give your credit though, your learning aiming her staff at his torso Melantha" MOM WAIT! " Killer" what?" M elantha" don't kill him maybe there is something I can do with him " Killer" * her snout scrunched up from disgust as she shook her head don't tell me you actually wantto teach this creature anything? " Zavok" ( "mom"? this must be her daughter zuzu mentioned before ) >wo " " Melantha" maybe not teach but having a new minion under my wing we can use him for things that would throw the freedom fighters off our case and even possible go after the hunters " Killer" a minion? you have a minion at home already , hes over there! * pointing to rabbi across the way" Rabbi" hi~ " Melantha" you just refuse to accept him as my boyfriend" Killer" please do not use that word in front of me, I have beautiful high hopes for ou and he is just-" Melantha" he cares, he loves me, he makes me happy, he a killer, and even helps me slaughter mane and kill our enemies and proves his commitment to you and me as does his sister, "willingly" I might add you can't complain T T " Mephlies" she does have a point" Killer" hush! my castle, my rules! what would you even have him do? he's not exactly someone who blends in "

Melantha" just give it a chance if it doesn't work out we can always serve him to hellfire no love lost" Killer" groaning for a moment she loosened her grip dropping him to the floor fine, thrill me " crossing her arms

Zavok" taking he chance to see hellfire sleeping in the corner of the room Melantha" ahem...so zavok was your name? " Zavok" y-yes " Melantha" firstly you are to address me princess melantha , you had quite the nerve wish for training fro mmy mother she is very picky and often unforgiving you should be grateful I'm showing such grace" Mephlies " chuckles ( those DnD sessions are showing up ) " Killer" ( Shut. up. before I strap you to the bed! ) " Melantha" she might be willing to share her time with you but me on the other hand I like having new followers and having one I did not resurrect will be interesting~ " Zavok" resurrect?" Melantha" s her eyes gave of a dark purple aura suddenly two of her random soldiers appeared beside her these are my soldiers, they challenged me they died by my hand and now they live only to serve me , do you believe you can match this level of power?" Zavok" I'm sure with evne time I may have results to impress you princess ( the fact I have to impress a child now, what am I honestly doing >< )



Melantha" T T.....* suddenly one of the soldiers walked up to zavok grabbing him by the head kicking his shins forcing him on his knees and slams his head to the ground ( Gawww!) second rule of mine, your mind is not safe from me , any form os disrespect will be met immediately and swiftly! and thirdly you bring me what I ask not what you'd "think" Iike! is that understood! " Zavok" y-yes Princess Melantha! " suddenly the solider slammed his head against the floor again (Wham@) YES Princess melantha forgive me! " Melantha" good, perhaps if you impress me you can get a request from my mother, but you are far from that state, as the soldiers moved away allowing him to stand up* for now I will have tasks for you to complete orders froo me when you completely them you will gain more grace fro mme , whe nyou completely certain tasks, you will gain new powers from me, " Zavok" what kind of tasks?" Melantha" trust me you'll know the ones ^^ now then hold still~ * as she jumped on to his chest holding her self up using his horns as she opened her mouth looking down upon him she vomited some of surges's essence into his mouth as it traveled down his mouth causing him to gag adn vomit as melantha jumped off him , he fel lto his knees again coughing and wheezing Zavok" wh-... what the hell...did you do!? " Melantha" just think of it like an internal reminder " suddenly as he looked as his hand with in the palm a black patch appeared with a mouth with teeth appeared " Zavok" ..... " Melantha" your first ask wil lbe to bring me a strong fighter you have to kill them and bring them to me, the voice will give you specifcs of what I'm looking for~, I won't stress about a time frame "



Xavok" I...I see... and the aspects of gaining power?" Melantha" that will come in time, but you have to prove your commencement , you can back out whenever you want ~ " Zavok" ( some how that doesn't sound like the free exit I believe ) " Melantha" so any questions?" Zavok" sigh at least not at the moment thank you for this opportunity princess melantha " Melantha" your welcome " Melantha" now be gone* opening a portal and shoving him through it*



Killer" ...okay..firstly ... AHAHAHAHAH!! what the actual hell!? what that you fucking did!?! " Mephlies" honestly I'm little disturbed myself from that display from you " sudenly purge appeared from her neck Purge" while she was having her role dialog I wanted todo something fun to make ot appear more monstrous, sure she could have give him alittle crystal bracelet and called it a day, but we thought no lets give him something memorable and something with her precious smile " Killer" well leaving an impression you certainly did "



Melantha" X3 " Rabbi" can you do me next!? " Melantha" .........* created a rolled up newspaper and swats him in the head* no. " Rabbi" come on lets get nasty! I'm already use to purge so Im families with him l3 (Swat!) Melantha" the fact you want it defeats the purpose " Rabbi" not my fault it was bit of a very captivating performance " Melantha" yessss...we heard your thoughts from the hallway " Rabbi" it wasn't that bad" Melantha" > >; seeing killer growling yesh sure lets go before my mom reached her limit pushing him out the room also mom, bloody pizza tonight what toppings to you want ?" Killer" - -... eyeballs T T " Melantha" I figured " Rabbi" ohh I need practice eye gouging anyway X'D " Melantha" okay rabbi enough ><; as he left the room



Mephlies" he certainly is different " Killer" mhm... certainly "



back in the base



Zir" I can't believe that monster dealt with him like he was nothing and now zavok has vanished now what can be done- suddenly zavok was thrust out of a portal Zir" zavok!? " Zavok" groans" Zir" where have you pin and why...so I sense something different from you? Zavok" because... I have something different a part of me as one of his eyes turned black



to be con.

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 "



Wave" jet" Jet" hm? I.. I have confession to make do you remember back at the south island school the final exam that I passed, I know you only took me on your team becasue you saw promise in my skills but..the truth is.. I never passed it honestly I cheated using my friends test passing it off as my own... I..I'm sorry.I never honest I'm sorry I didn't preform the best liek you deserved... I jsut" Jet" wave... I never cared about that exam, I jsut wanted you on my team because you scared the same drive to go beyond the islands , every one else there was dead set on being part of the stupid herd I wanted to break away and you shared that , thats why I wanted you to join " Wave" really...? Jet" personally I always thought you should have more faith in yourself your craftier then you give yourself credit and even now , we al lpulled through together like always , thats why we're a team, and well ... I won't lie you had your moments and armor set was pretty... killer looking* looking a bit bashful* Wave" ...I really don't deserve you guys...* as tears filled her eyes* Jet" hey this is our nest and we made it with our own wings you should be proud of it " Wave" ;w;....* as she leaned closer to him hoping for a kiss then suddenly storm comes in and gives them both a bear hug*

Storm" A team forever and all always I love you guys XD" Wave" You idiot! Timing! Argghhhh! DX" Jet" AHahahahah XD I think this is cause for celebration "



meanwhile*

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...

to be con.

Keith was with reia helping with her wedding dress



Keith" ohh I couldn't have picked a more perfect time to come back onto the team " Reia" you seem to have been enjoying this more then anything else " Keith " well after hearing the whole ceremony event how can I not!? everything is so carefully coordinated " Reia" yeah it is > >" Keith" yeah it is.. " Keith" dear whats the matter, I remember you use to sound so excited and now you sound so dismal ;w; " Reia" remember when we said we could keep the " kids" thing hidden until after the affair ?" Keith" right, to please your father or at least soften the blow at least" Reia" I thought it would be easy to kind of hid it but I suppose I didn't take certain things into account, food craving, mood swings, excessive shedding, I've been having small panics at night over thinking if he knows or night and ,,its left me with a sleepless night or two. I think I've grown tired and " Keith" is there anything scourge could do" Reia" hes been keeping him busy and attention away from me luckily so I could have time to gather myself and even now looking at her self in the mirror in her dress, this looked beautiful on me before but seeing myself with this bulge I really feels like it ruins it. and now I'm wondering did I just ruin my own wedding with the way I decided to do this... tears started to well in her eyes*



Keith" whoa whoa whoa... lets not have any of that kind of talk my dear, you look absolutely beautiful no matter what, sure things may not have gone the way you might have expected , but you have the backing of your family your crew and your mother behind you and if your father really loves you he'll accept this as is " placing his hands on her cheeks leaning his head against hers Reia" I know that keith but certain things carry a tongue in cheek stigma and those stigmas have the tendency to stay with you, and I've always had such a solid persona and image with in the ranks " Keith" sweetie your mortal we all are, you make mistakes and no one is perfect, honestly if everything was truly perfect I would think something would be wrong, crossing his arms Reia" heh..." Keith" so please, you've come this far your about to enter a whole new chapter in your life, one for the new ones in the family and there gonna look to you for that that guidance, and in order for you to do that, you need to have confidence in yourself" Reia" taking a deep breathe y-yeah your right quickly wiping her tears away sorry for the emotional break down" Keith" no need to be sorry, better to let it out and we push forward " Reia" nice choice of words* she smirked* Keith" >///> y-you know what I mean " Reia" ahaahaha! at the moment snow peeked her head from the doorway Snow" everyone ready head out~ , and I got word from victor the decorations and the temple are on the verge of complete as far goes decoration~ " Reia" wonderful I suppose no time like the present " Keith" exactly~ X3 "





off to the island where the wedding would be taking place, you could see a collection of men sorting and setting up the gathering tables and catering and all, at the same time scourge was sitting in the chapel starring up at the stain glass with the mural of the Sol Goddess



Kaspian" walking in fighting him seating to himself doing a bit of self reflecting or just praying?" Scourge" I don't know, maybe a little of both" Kaspian" whats gotten you feeling so down~ your bride is on hr way the party is going off without a problem your in the good grace of the family I think your doing pretty damn well " Scourge"..... you ever feel like life has handed you such a shit hand for years the moment you get something good you almost don't believe it , to the point your question it " Kaspian"... hmm once or twice, but here's a another question for you as he pulled out a cigarette holding it between his teeth he gave out a short breathe of fire lighting it (fowossh!) who is truly innocent of any sin in this world, that aren't babies, you say anything else besides everyone your lying to yourself" letting a puff of smoke before handing it over to scourge*



Scourge" I don't smoke " Kaspian" just try it this a little different, then the drug laced trash you mammals use " Scourge" ...* taking it he inhaled it* ...!? it has a fruit like aroma to it " Kaspian" exactly, its a plant that grows in dragon territory grounded up roots and the burning sensation calms the scenes " Scourge" ahhhh... leaning back in the chair you know I spent a good chunk of my life trying to prove I was better then someone else , in fact looking back on the last 20 years I've had one constant jealousy, hate and sonic " Kaspian" and now?" Scourge" I can at least see beyond the three, I don't have be fucking bitter or take shit from others day in and day out , between lets see, forming a team or for them to dessert me , my second lead by my girlfriend fell apart because she decided to abandon me and go back to that two tailed shorty, after saving me from nearly being completely broken from being locked in prison . only for me to make my way here and now suddenly things go... differently... take a few odd jobs, meet up with reia and then suddenly something weird happens Kaspian" that is ? Scourge" forming connections with people who don't know shit about me and it feels honest and it works and...I feel like I can make it work I can gain the title I know I deserve! and I can rub i in the blue bitches face who believes I was nothing but a shadow of his a shadow, worthless runt well who's fucking laughing now bitch Ahahaha....ahah.. ahhh... leaning over with his head down then this is part where I wake up "



Kaspian " I think this is far from dream green bean " at her looked down you could see his tears hitting the floor by his feet Scourge" the stupidest part is... is that someone actually believes in me... " Kaspian" when you gotten the negative for so long, the positive has to turn around at some time, otherwise balance can't exist " Scourge" hmph when has balance ever been in my life" Kaspian "well never two late to start~ suddenly kaspian placed a sheathed sword next to him with a curved pirate blade with a crown light hilt Scourge" what's this " Kaspian" wedding gift , your welcome as he walked away

the sheath even had two red scars on it matching the marks on his chest



meanwhile

in the open sky over the open seas*

Slayer was standing with majestica



Majestica" so your going to catch up with your lighter half is that correct?" Slayer" mhm~ Magjestica" will you need me to back you up in case things turn into a fight? Slayer" to really I thought since will be attending a wedding it would nice to attend as a pair, after all I'm such a fan of social affairs ^ ^ now then lets go indulge ourselves my dear~ "





it wasn't long before the rest of the party goers started to arrive as the music from the bands started to fill the air and so forth

Snow" well I must say things are hitting it off pretty well " Victor" believe it or not your right I was expecting a lot of dry air to fill up everyone's ears but the folks are really getting into it " Snow" I told you to let me handle the eatery and things would go smoothly <3 if people have something addictive to stuff there faces with thing s will fall into place shortly after " Victor" well, sorry I doubted you" Snow" heh heh " Victor" as for scourge" Snow" there he is right now she pointed ot him afar leaving the temple with kaspian " Victor"instead of hiding away he should be leading the charge, this is his big day . or better yet they're big day " Snow" easy now, no pressure~ just let the festivities play out as they should and we should have a day to remember my love hugging his arm* Victor" I suppose your right " Snow" of course I am kissing him on the cheek as she laughed softly



Brass " wearing a gown like dress* ( can not come off like I don't wear this often DX" ( Vosh!) suddenly keith appeared in front of her helped adjust her sleeves and her corset and waist pants Keith" a just the sizes a bit, straighten out the alignment, and "Let" your girls breathe a bit more pulling her top down letting her chest out a bit more giving them room to breathe and your absolutely perfect <3 " Brass" o///o; >< this is why I just wear my normal shit and not this party garbage " Keith" this "party garbage your killing it, and why you should wear it more , and your fine don't worry patting her cheeks and squeezing her face.... "your" " boutiful" mmmmwah! kissing her sweetly as he smiled Brass" alright alright geez you treat me like a child >///<; Keith" I'm just giving you what I think you need~" Brass" what I need is-! sigh ..* suddenly the music changes to something more easy going* > >" Keith" how about a dance partner taking her by the hands asn he pulled her closer to him" Brass" you know I don't dance" Keith" wel ljsut let me lead oyu along and you'll be just fine <3 l3 as brass not having much comment only blushed and followed along*



as the crowd was getting spacious but livly majestica hovered by the food table staying out of sight



Majestica" "oh just relax and have fun" oh its kind of hard when your the only dragon and you stand out like a swollen tail taking a small plate of the meat variety available I never once considered myself a wall flower but here I am, trying not to make a scene because my boss wanted me to- (bump!) oh I'm terribly sorry I didn't see you- * suddenly noticing it was kaspian she ran into "

Kaspian" well the Goddess has a sense of humor it seems" Majestica" as her scales shot up a bright pink as her blush immediately became visible haaaa hahaha.... ( IM GOING TO KILL HIM I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!! I DON'T CARE IF I END UP IN A FISH TANK EATING SNAKE FLAKES! I'M GOING TO RIP HIM APART!! ) taking a napkin she cupped her mouth as she turned away trying to calm herself



Kaspian" are you alright majestcia? or should go by our previous titles, Seven and Six " Majestica" ...* suddenly her emotions settled as she became a dark purple as she turned her head giving him a bit of a side side* to be fair I almost forgot the number I was... given how badly I botched my last mission with that damn bat " Kaspian" ha ha ha wildfire is a bit of a handful but I've heard from a friend you gave him quiet a run for his money, to the point he wouldn't mind taking you for a ride" did you happen to enjoy it " Majestica" suddenly as he came to mind the purple in her scales turned to a light orange going on red I'd like to if only to eat him later, but sadly my schedule has been having me rather busy especially with my new "employer" " Kaspian" oh interesting~ well seeing the parties you get to attend I'm sure hes paying you well " Majestica" ( you could say that again... ) .. but what about you? what brings you here? Kaspian" well I will be working a bit of a double shift , I was hired as a teacher for the groom teaching him how to swordplay, and if he bested me I would join his crew" Majestica" ohhh interesting, is your pride not alittle dampened by the ordeal? " Kaspian" hmm not really the guy is a yapping dog with a ego complex but hes fun to watch, reminds me a bit of a another of my students, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if they were related " Majestica" your talking about that girl surge right" Kaspian" hmm "



Majestica" lets not beat around the bush. we both work as teachers at the sol king's academy, your a combat specialist? correct" Kaspian" hey, easy now I like to play treasure hunter sometimes , don't give away everything as the tip of his tail hung over the root of her's close to her butt Majestica " >///w///> w-well you know I like calling a spade a spade and getting to the..fun...part of the.. con...ver...sssssation as kaspian softly moving closer to her closing to space around them the soft orange jumped back to a reddish pink Kaspian" I recall you being more dominate then this back in the day" Majestica" things can change in the last 30 years you should be more flexable quickly grabbing her a shot of alcohol chugging it down, expecting some kind of jolt but nothing happened and suddenly her expression changed to a sour look of disappointment as her original color returned I almost forgot for a second how weak there alcohol is compared to ours " Kaspian" I know right, why else does drako chug a whole damn barrel " Majestica " I know right, I need two full bottles before I feel something XD " Kaspian " meanwhile there already on the floor half dead" Kaspian&Majestica" Aha ha ha ha! "



Majestica" sigh... I was a fool rubbing her snout..." Kaspian" hm?" Majestica" o-oh its nothing I um.. just some things I'd rather not get into ... " Kaspian" hmph...* leaning closer to her* I know your new employer is that red devil~ he whispered Majestica" O O....." Kaspian" you'd be surprised what I learn here and there l3 " Majestica" .......well the chips fell where they did and I tossed up my cards and left the table with a bad hand... as she turned away but suddenly kaspian grabbed her hand pulling her back towards him !?! " Kaspian" not a bad hand, just a different hand, the game is only over when the dealer says so, so as far as I know your still in there , don't miss out on something unexpected " Majestica" suddenly her scales turned to a hot pink as her tail swayed a bit ( hurk!) burping up a bit a smoke she covered her mouth slightly embarrassed Kaspian " looks like that liquor had some kick in it after all he smirked Majestica" ..shut up..." Kaspian" I agree now lets dance before we all have to sit and hear the minister give his speech"



as they hit the dance floor with everyone else you could even see, scourge even dancing with reia, as keith was giddy seeing them smiling and having fun as was everyone,



Brass"I can't tell whos having more fun you or everyone else" Keith" I just feel all the happy pairings in the air and I'm loving every bit it~ including the one I 'm starring at <3 " Brass" given how close you are I'm sure your starring at something else > > Keith" oh my angel I'm not crass but I can't help and indulge sometimes , but if I may in one little bit" Brass" fine " Keith" I don't like kathy getting so far ahead.. so.. I was thinking about us having kids :3 " Brass" O/////O...." Keith" its been a while love I can't keep us young forever, well I could but we don't want to wait forever do we?" Brass" w-e welll... um.. uhhh..- oh look time to switch off partners! turning him into a spin then pushing him away as keith was caught by someone else



Keith" she can't get away forever" Slayer" apparently neither can I " Keith" ......* suddenly smile vanished as slayers only grew wider crossing his fingers with his Slayer" hello~ brother its been a while , I know you enjoyed your vacation from me, I know I did " Keith" *becoming more stern and serious I heard you've been busy" Slayer" hmm here and there hmhmh~ oh don't give me that sour old face , remember to always smile, your never fully dressed without one~ " Keith" kathy wanted me to ring you in given the stories I've been hearing" Slayer" ohhh that women wants a lot of things, doesn't mean she'll get it~ l3 " Keith" what are you planning " Slayer" why spoil , I like to plan as I go , even I don't know where its gonna go ^w^ all I do know is stroking keith's muzzle as his eyes glowed softly blood shed will be for certain. just like kathy I love a good performance~ "





Keith" a good performance, you really think kathy will let you have your way with everyone and especially if you hurt the kids " Slayer" well if the kids don't get in the way then she'll have nothing to worry about now will she " Keith" she just had a good at me for what you did to nova" Slayer" its calls getting her prepared, shes not a kitten anymore and besides her mother went through worse before she even gotten the age she is now Keith " that's not the point, you and I both know why I'm here bringing this up now " Slayer" because you miss me, because you want us to go back to being the same body once again, trying to hold me back well I'm terribly sorry to disappoint you but I'm. not. interested. as they danced among the crowd



suddenly from a distance even scourge noticed keith and slayer



Scourge" aww shit. Keith" you think you have a choice in this" Slayer" clean the sleep out of your eyes darling, its "you" who did not have a choice and you knew that from the start , I'm going to reign hellfire across all the zones and reap the harvest that is to follow and the best part it won't even be under my accord it will be because they all want it " Keith" what do you mean they'll want it ? Slayer " you should pay closer attention to the voice among the councils and the dragons whispers from the cracks in the rocks, Miles is eager to start war with the acorn kingdom but he lacks the fire power to do anything but since I gave him my help he'll have just that tiny bit of confidence he needed to pull the trigger , inferno wants revenge on drako but sadly he wants to do it his own way so I'm left here sitting on my hands " Keith" I thought it was void walker that defeated him " Slayer" I honestly forgot cause I didn't care anymore but probably, then lets see oh right, king blue blur himself~ Keith "what? sonic has no beef with sky or the sol kingdom" Slayer" all raging voices are not silent, sonic feels feels hes getting old and his son isn't leaving the mark he should given the fact hes getting help from lein-da its hurting his eago whither he admits it or not but that fool loves playing denial , then we have a new piece on the board sonia~ shes going to be taking sword lessons from sky, why? because shes inherited the sword of acorn, truly a honor in deed* tilting his had down* now tell me darling how will sonic react to this little fact or even manic knowing his sister ig getting blessed and she doesn't even have to try" Keith" Grrr..." Slayer" hey I'm not doing anything my hands are clean, -w- this is all merely what I'm observing "



Keith" well if I reel you back in thats at least a good junk of this nonsense stopped isn't it " Slayer" while you sit at home knitting a new bra for that boxer you call a women, I've been gathering followers, recruiting minions of my own and adding to my power, and even now the whole reason I've come here now was for you" Keith" you serious... " Slayer" you thought you would come in and just leash me up and the day would go on as number.. ha ha ha.. no no no no~ I think its time we changed the rules, flipped the script and stead of you me being a part of you, your apart of me

as slayers eyes turned red he took his hand up sharpening his claws as he thrust his hand towards keith's heart but in that second scourge stepped in grabbed his hand stopping it



Scourge" easy ring master this one is under my watch T T" Slayer" oh well look at you, is that a threat I'm hearing ? Scourge" nah bitch its a promise " as slayer tried tp push back scourge pushed him back equally has hard as suddenly scourges eyes changes the white of his eyes became black as his pupils became red your not the only one whos been making improvements"

Slayer" ..... > > Mayhem" .........." Slayer" I see so you've learned to tap into your super form's energy, nicely done " Keith" you know what this means right" Slayer" certainly. but I will admit its been nice seeing you again , will see how events play out , " Scourge" what not interested in a fight" Slayer" I didn't come here to crash a wedding, I only came to announce my presence, snatching up keith would have been an added bonus but I can see someone cares , but careful next time you might not be so lucky intermissions are relatively short. he smirked oh and I'm not a horrid guest to leave my hosts empty handed snapping his fingers then dropped a gift box in his hands a gift for the lovely couple to be~ " opening up the box it was a black two headed rose with a blue rim along its petals my own personal batch, Mayhem calls them Hydra roses" Scourge" cute T T turning his attention back to him in that split second he was gone"



Keith"....... holding his head down " Scourge" look don't worry about him alright, " Keith" well maybe I have gotten little lax" Scourge" your house husband not a fighter, thats your wife's job, you just got stuck with the ring master " Keith kathy is gonna have a field day with me for this " Scourge" listen, your on my crew now , if he wants you or even if kathy has complaints she can come to me so in the end don't worry about it, you let me worry , about it okay " Keith" oh look at you trying to be the captain?" Scourge" I'm not the captain, I'm the king and a king demands respect where ever he is and I won't let those under me be bullied as he walked off he tossed the rose to keith give it kathy, roses were never my favorite anyway " " Keith" smiles softly aye aye captain ~ "



*as the sun was setting it was time for everyone to head inside as the ceremony for the wedding was about to begin*





standing at the podium



scourge took a deep breathe as he waited , the music began to play as reia walked down the hall as she took her step beside him



Minister" we are gather here today, under the eyes of the Goddess rejoicing in the holy bonding of two under the flames of the Goddess herself.. "



Reia" whispering I noticed you looked a little nervous for a bit earlier " Scourge" it just felt a little too good to be true honestly " Reia" okay, a little pre marriage jitters was all? I thought my dad might have said something to you" Scourge" no everyone has been singing songs all day metaphorically " Reia" good to know <3 "



meanwhile in the crowds



Majestica" so um maybe I'm shooting my cards a bit here but... >w> you open to- " Kaspian " relationships on the job are never really healthy" Majestica" well depends on who you ask I'm sure we can keep it professional , besides I have to considering I'm well, "quote", "unquote" dead" Kaspian" well just by the dragon core records, and you don't think that devil is keeping an eye on things" Majestica" I know he is but he said I can do whatever I want , I just have to follow his orders, so in a way its a no different then listening to ragnorak > > hunching over Kaspian" what would you rather have" Majestica"... I'll be real with you I feel like I'm walking in fog and right now the only thing keeping me steady is "hey" your gonna be a teacher now , I can't go back to my friend and I in a way dead so...I guess I'm on my own out side of well.. "him"



Kaspian" sigh... you know I raised two boys back in the day that were in the same position... lost, sold off but they knew only thing thing they were brothers and all they had was each other, I couldn't have offered much but I at least gave them a mentor in a way gave them confidence is living " Majestica" how sweet " Kaspian" eventually they forged there own path, proud of them both, as for me well all I can do is see where the wind blows, sorry I can't provide something solid your looking for " Majestica" you say what I want but what do you want " Kaspian" at the end of the day, maybe a good pact would be good and right now I've part pirate group " Majestica" but?" Kaspian"........... " Majestica" want to see what happens? no promises, no commitments seeing I could be dead to rights the next day" putting her hand over his Kaspian" taking another glance at her her scales turned into a light purple hue " Kaspian" your eyes there ruby red .. its ironic how red can go with everything" Majestica" always depends on the mood, just roll with it ~ " at that moment he leaned over her as there heads crossed leaning against one another in loving way * Kaspian" what have I got to lose " Majestica" nothing but to gain in my book ( especially for me <3 ) "

also with in the seats keith was sitting next to brass his eyes looking lost in thought



Brass" hey, you've been quiet since we sat down thats not really normal for you " Keith" h-huh...wha? oh ! eheh sorry xD jsut thinking about the ..uhh recipes for the after party kathy wanted and its little hard keeping to gther in-" Brass" keith, I know you lying " Keith" I'm not .. lying its true I'm.. I...* holding his head as he rubbed his head* alright.. I can't lie to you with a straight face*... Brass" what happened?" Keith" slayer decided to say hi" Brass" !? " Keith " he had a few words for me , talking about how hes going to cause a bit of chaos for everyone and I was told by kathy to put a leash on him puta stop to him etc , but then he swings it back around to me. saying its not time for him to be a part of me but for me to be a part of him... the thought of him overpowering me and jsut taking me or worse erasing me it would leave you all at hi s mercy, and... I haven't been im proving myself I know you say I'm strong scourge tried to give me some comfort saying I'm a house husband not a fighter" Brass" tsk its not like its not true she chuckled a bit "



Keith" but thats no good if slayer jsut comes in and wipes me away I.. I was lazy.. I let him get stronger then me ,, I let this happen and now others are gonna pay for it ,, I sorry.. I.." Brass" whoa whoa whoa easy.. wrapping hr arms around him tightly deep breathes... " Keith" but- " Brass" but-" Brass" deep breathes... you can match me if you can pressing his head against the roof of her chest as keith could feel her heart beat, he closed his eyes as he started to calm down. brass took his hand crossing her fingers with his as she held him close



Brass" look maybe you have gotten a little lazy but then again I never said a word cause well,, I'm glad slayer was out of your head, you seened so much more at ease and I could tell I know I share some of the blame on that front but green bean is right, your a house husband your a pink hippie that loves to cook and take care of the garden adn the chao and I wouldn't change anything about you , " Keith" why couldn't I have been like kathy and have a nice relationship with him like how shes does with killer " Brass " alternate versions don't equate to life experiences besides wouldn't it be boring if you were all the same?" Keith" maybe.. " Brass" and no your not a fighter but who says that can't change, your still powerful, you just have to dust off our old skills and start building up new ones, and who better to do that then me~ she smirked



Keith" well I suppose but.. " Brass" every day you impress me enough you cna use me as a pillow for the night " Keith" w alright lets to it >w< " Brass" starting tomorrow brass boot camp begins and I woke be nice cracking her knuckles but I'm sure you don't mind l3 Keith" :3 can we at least start from level one?" Brass "no~ , sometimes you gonna run before you can walk love~ " Keith" thought so "



Minister" now by the will of the Goddess herself I pronounce you both husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride

as reia and scourge shared a passionate kiss, reia tossed the flowers into the air and majestica ending up catching it

Majestica" ( fate don't play with my heart please ;w; )



on that signal everyone stood giving there applause and as the ceremony came to a close everyone enjoyed the after party under the night sky





* as the number of party guest slowly dwindled down to the family members , everyone was sitting at the beach taking in the open air as the sun set on the horizon"



Scourge" taking in a bite of the grilled fish Reia" I'm honestly surprised things went so smoothly" Guntham" what what you were expecting them to go wrong?" Reia" maybe not wrong but something , not as smooth I suppose" Snow" oh sweetie your being paranoid everything couldn't help but worked out hugging her from behind and pretty soon your gonna have your name up on a podium just like ours as you take over the family one day " Reia" heh do not forget scourge as well " Snow" well there is still much to running a crime family" Scourge" you know, can I be real? it was hard seeing you lot as a crime family, seeing you work hand and hand with king drako , it felt more like a underground secret service then a crime lot " Victor" ha ha well you'd be forgiven for thinking that. before; my family was heavily into supporting the pirates that would raid the islands supplying islands and others with weapons an such, but then that day came when Riverjaw approached my father and said "you work for us and king drako will support whatever you need " then slowly we turned into a service for the king, and honestly taking down some pirates was almost jsut as hard if not harder " Scourge" hmm riverjaw haven't heard that name before as he lied down on the beach Alex" he was a famous pirate after the dragons left during the height of the war, he helped dragon rebuild the kingdom turning it into his own, I've heard they were close friends at one point" Reia" but eventually riverjaw turned back to being a ruthless pirate even fighting again drako, once his best friend and during the last known pirate festival RJ met his end - -" Scourge " hmm " Kaspian" sounds like you folks were pretty busy before I came along " Brass" more ways then one having keith laying on her lap with her hands around his neck <3 Alex" well it does appear we're the last one here, maybe it s time we returned " Reia" upon hearing that, I did want one more thing, or better yet, my mother wanted one more thing" Scourge" that is" Snow" a family photo for everyone~ "



during this time cello was setting up the camera and just then everyone took the time to get huddled together with the temple behind them in the shot



Victor" you got the shot cello" Cello" its hard getting everyone in frame but think I got it*setting the timer* alright everyone say diamond on 3 * as he rushed in next to reia

( Diamond! ) ( Click!)



as the picture came out perfectly we cut to see it framed on the wall in the living room back home, as scourged looked up at it . suddenly reia walked up behind him as she leaned her head against him

Reia" look how far you've come, you were always worried about solidifying your place and now, now look at you I don't think you have to worry about that now my king~" Scourge" smirks softly no, I guess not " Cello " so how do you plan on telling father the "other" big news " Scourge&Reia" we're working on it "



meanwhile back in the guess rooms



on the bed keith was laying on top of brass

Brass " feeling better?" Keith" mhm " Brass" you don' really sound like it , Igive you a freebee and this how you sound? " Keith" because I'm thinking about it, the question dodged earlier" Brass" >///> " Keith" its been a while don't you think, everyone has there family even scourge is expecting, do we really want to be last place? Brass" this isn't a race you fool, its just..* turning her head away as she looked out the window* Keith" something your worried about?" Brass "......." Keith" lifting his head he sat up over her rubbing her cheek softly ..." Brass" why not just remind my mind to find out.." Keith" cause that's not how I do things, I want you to be honest, confidently thats now relationships work" Brass" biting her lip asshe took a deep breathe you've always the heart of the island and I've been the brawn we worked together always and I sometimes I fear if I've forced to sit on the sideline what if something happens and well I'm not able to help , I know your great at what you do keith I trust you on that much, but even after seeing your break down over slayer , I just feel like I got to be that backbone for us " Keith" which is why we're doing the training or the brass bootcamp as you called it as he sat up I know I showed a bit of weakness at that moment but it was only because slayer ...*sigh* scares me a bit esspecally now seeing how confident he's become"



Brass" he was out of your hair so I can't say I cared " Keith" but I do, and so does others. and I know I need to pull double for us if that time came and that time is now or at least when I get back in shape XD and I promise it won't take long , give me a week and you'll remember why you put so much faith in me he smiled Brass" ... in that second she pushed him down on the bed as she sat on top of him it was alot more then just that a whole lot more.. kisses him passionately" Keith" <3 hmm~" Brass" also slowly taking her sports top off that week time limit I'll hold you to it " Keith" !! no pressure ~ " Brass" sometimes pressure is a good thing , heres your intro lesson...* dropping herself on top of him as there session slowly began* <3





some time later

Sky was helping sonia with some sword practice in the training field*



Sonia" ( woosh! woosh! woossh!) panting softly as sonia lowered the sword* I can't do this DX" Sky" don't push yourself too hard just baby steps and build up strength " Sonia" never did I think I'd be someone who would using a sword DX" Sky" ahah well surprise surprise, so take a few more practice rounds and ill call it a day" Sonia" okay as she continued to do practice swings , at the same time sally and blaze watched from the patio from afar



Blaze" its quite the sight seing sky giving sword lessons to sonia normally he was always practicing with nova ^^ " Sally" mhm... " Blaze" something troubling you?" Sally" I suppose sonic having slight isues with sky, seeing there always butting heads, hence why I never mentioned this to him, I'm..alittle worried if he would find out " Blaze" why so? sonic and sky have been getting along a lot better recently :/ sipping her tea Sally" I know, but lately sonic has been alittle off kilter and seeing he's been focused on training manic I guess I'm alittle worried he would get alittle annoyed like... " Blaze" like? " Sally" like he can't train his own kids " Blaze" but sonic helped teach both of them how to use there speed didn't he?" Sally" yes but the majority has been self taught , manic has been making improvements and sonia has well.. shes been focusing on other aspects like her studies and technology with data " Blaze" maybe you should be upfront with him and say the truth, there is nothing wrong with letting others handle things you can't " Sally" I suppose .. " Blaze" everything will be fine sally " Sally" sipping her tea but the thing is sonic does get jealous, its not heavy but you can see it in his body language " in that moment blaze suddenly hada crocked smile asshe held her tea up ot her face





Sally" oh what re oyu sniveling at? I see it all on your face T T" Blaze" hmhm, I apologize its just I can already imagine sky taking pride in having sonic jeslous to one degree or another, I understand this isn't the right time for it but, I can't help but finding it funny I can call it " Sally" sigh my problem is that I "can" call it " Sonic" how as the training been going with lara-su " Sally" well we learned knuckles lied and said it was her not lein-da training him " Blaze" oh my " Sally" but manic seems to be getting a lot out of it and maybe even likes her hardcore nature" Blaze" the irony is too strong" placing her cup down as she stood up Sally" what do you mean " Blaze" sky left the freedom fighter for the same reason, he was too exhausted with sonic easy going way of doing things which is why he was so attracted to me. I can't help but see a similar connected with lein-da " Sally" I see what you mean, but I dont' think manic is really going to go far to the other side is he?" Blaze" onyl time will tell but for now do not fret "



* as both of the m arrived at the training field sonia was exhausted on the ground dropping the sword as it faded away in a glitter of light "



Sky" that should be enough for today , next time I think I'll have gardon run some training exercises that should be less of a strain " Blaze" plus, I'm sure he is more of a teacher then you " Sky" well we're doing a knight's swordsmenship not a eastern style there is a difference " Sonia" I can't feel my arms... " Sally" alright sonia lets go home so you can rest picking sonia up on her feet thank you for your hospitality* Blaze" your welcome back any time ^^ " as sally brought out a warp ring quickly taking it travel home



Blaze" now be honest, can you really see her wielding a sword " Sky" ehh it takes time and practice I trained when I was 5 to 13 before I was considered pro level " Blaze" countering on her fingers 5..6.. so about 8 years " Sky" and still learning Blaze" meanwhile your just naturally good at a scythe? " Sky" well me and nova it just genetics l3 " Blaze" don't start punching his shoulder Sky" ahahah don't be mad XD and actually we can throw snowfall in there too " Blaze" but how can you be sure?" Sky" even if he doesn't I had a plan for him, even ifs an artificial blade, I want him to share the same path we do "



acorn castle

Sally" so how would you rate sky as a teacher" Sonic" well hes okay, je just tells me to build up strength right now so I'm just swinging away, thats why my arms feel like wreck DX " Sally" well I'll see when we can arrange another session so forn ow just try to relax " Sonia" okay , I'm gonna take a shower is what I need T T" as sonia slugged down the all getting the cramps out of her shoulders



Sally" hmhm~ " Sonic" went for some outside help I see " Sally" ah! s-sonic DX Sally" heh no need to be jumping sal, I sort of over heard Sally" -o-oh so you know about ... Sally" sonia inherited the sword of acorn , I have to admit I wasn't really expecting it or if anything it would have been manic shurgs Sally" well it could have gone either way, perhaps even both, Sonic" both would have been better , so you got antoine to give her the 101 or is someone equally boring xD" Sally" thinking back to blaze;s words ( Blaze" just be upfront with him" ) actually I thought sky would have been a better fit seeing his background and the way of the sword, he was my first choice " Sonic" oh but sky exactly a knight hes more of a samurai I would say, at least when it came to the sword the grim reaper routine I think thats another story "



Sally" ahh..well maybe > > but for now we're taking baby steps and even now he's suggested having gardon take up the spot showing her the ropes " Sonic" well makes more sense honestly he chuckled Sally" hmhm ^^ well with that being said I'm going to see what we can have made for dinner tonight , so who knows maybe will make a special and go to chunks diner I heard they have an evening special~ she chuckled his cheek ^w^" Sonic" sure xD



as sally left his field of view suddenly his smile left hi s face as he walked towards the balcony staring out over the city

Flashback

Kathy" What has crawled up your butt! lein-da tries all the time to be a good mother for vanolo shes not only the hardcore dome you see all the time, and as for manic, let him breathe! hes not going to be a sonic 2.0

end



Sonic" its not like I don't mind folks helping out with the kids, but why does it feel like I'm getting replaced as if I can't do my job crossing his arms sonic and sword thing I can understand but manic learning from lein-da, its almost ironic everyone needed me for help outside of life but in life no one needs me , but even so I can raise and reach my kids I'm not a bad parent, why does ti feel like everyone treats me like one tapping his foot he brushed his head... maybe I need to talk to a real expert "



shortly after, sonic actually went ot go see tails



Tails" ?! sonic " Sonic" hey genius~ its been a while since I stopped bye Tails" what bring you over? " Sonic" I uhhh came for some advice " Fiona" over hearing you need advice , is the space colony crashing to the planet should I stock up on food DX" Tails" Fiona button it! Fiona" lP " Tails" don't mind her , you can come in you know"



coming in in the dinning room tails and sonic sat at the table



Tails" so what did you want to talk about?" Sonic" ... am a bad parent? at least from your perspective " Tails" ...okay that's a weighted question , bad how?" Sonic" I guess overall" Tails" well would I say bad?...no but your alittle... umm its kind of complicated. what even brought this on?" Sonic" well manic is being trained by lein-da and sonia jsut inherited to sword of acorn so sally decided to go to sky for help, so my question is am I not reliable? ( Pffttff!) fiona muffled her laugh from the counter Sonic" something you'd like you share fiona " Fiona" I jsut, I just find it funny you went to tails, why not me? or kathy. or nicole? but then again you want a neutral response not a bias one " Sonic" I'm sure by your laughter you know you would be against me, I need someone who isn't gonna be hard against me " Fiona" you always ask "what" the problem is but never the "why" if you could look at yourself and figure out would be a good or bad what would it be?" Fiona" I'm not exactly training physicist so do what I think is right for me and if its good for me, its good for others, doesn't that make sense?" Tails&Fiona" looking t one another nervously Fiona" ehhhhhhhh..... " Tails" debatable sonic, one may be good for one but not the other " Sonic" I figured rubbing his temples look I just don't want to look like I fail as a parent, I get giving the kids space, that's fine, but if they don't feel a need to even come to me then I feel like I'm doing something wrong" Fiona" pushing them away by getting in there face won't help either :/ sally told me about your fellow kids moment " Sonic" what do you mean?"



Tails&Fiona" Street sleeks! who the hell says street sleeks?!" Sonic" still cool though " Fiona" groans listen just let yourself be open and here for them , if they need you they will come , as long as your a space of safety they can trust you should have anything to worry about " Sonic" yeah I thought that too, but things aren't gelling as they should, the training is almost done with lein-da and sonia is starting up with sky, its like okay sure I miss out on the best years of my kids lives and I don't get to share any of those moments, sky gets to have it, shadow gets to have it, hell even knuckles gets to have it, and hes not even a fatherly type"



Tails&Fiona" ( the fact you call knuckles "not the fatherly type"? shows how out of fucking touch you are" )



Sonic" maybe I'm just over thinking it... " suddenly one of the robot bunnies came in pushing the laundary basket for fiona Fiona" thank you, I got it xD" Sonic" heh got your dwarf bunnies running around" Tails" cody's creation he makes them for kiara but he uses us as field tests" Sonic" hmmm " Tails" if you want some kind of advice sonic maybe taking it fro mme, after they stop following you around, they eventually grow into there own, some leave our sights sooner then others and as long you show them, " hey I'm here whenever you need me" I think you've done enough ^^" Fiona" ^^ unless your kathy's child where your forever bound to her though chaos she guarded against her newspaper on her head I know your tricks try something new~ ahahah OOFff suddenly pusheen tackled her in the stomach before vanishing Tails" I don't know why you challenge her.? " Fiona" hunched over shes get my son I have a right to say what I want ><; "



Tails"so I hope this sort of helpful sonic " Sonic" nah it was all good ~ maybe hearing others will help me see things a bit better, thanks for your time " Tails" no problem ^ ^ " & as they sadi there good byres sonic took his leave racing off*



Fiona" he just want an unbias opinion, I don't know where hes going to get it " Tails" I think I know at least one "



following straight after, sonic raced off to see shadow



knocking heavily on there penthouse door



Rouge" !? owo well color me surprised, wasn't expecting to see you big boy~ " Sonic" but then again who doesn't love surprises happy to see your as young as ever " Rouge" ears flicks ^w^ ( I wasn't even that old but your trying I guess ) trying to be a charmer~ so what brings you here. nothing dangerous I hope" Sonic" nah, I thought I come to shoot the breeze with shadow a bit, is he home?" Rouge" well lucky for you he is as are the kids " as rouge invited him inside shadow was sitting at the table with ruby in a basket next to him while suddenly midnight appeared on the the scene



Midnight" mom where's the tool kit? Rouge" it should be in the closet by the front door " Midnight" thank you, oh and hello sonic this is unexpected" Sonic" yeah just dropping by xD you and velvet still getting along ~ " Midnight" yeah were getting along really well > > Sonic" heh don't be a stranger xD" shadow's eyes shifted from his work to sonic* Shadow" is there a reason for your visit sonic?" Sonic" hey I can at least come and say hi can't I? by the way I was expecting to see omega " Rouge" the big red tank spends more time at the base then our house, its little too peaceful for him " Sonic" I can imagine < and here's the golden child of the hour as he peaked in the basket with ruby

Ruby" owo..... " as sonic picked her up in his arms cradling her Sonic" heh reminds me of the twins not too long ago brushing her hair when ruby reached grabbing on to her wrist got a strong grip ahah~ " shadow" counting down on his fingers ...3...2...1 " Ruby" ...(Bite!) " Sonic" YAahhhh! DX * ruby bit doow no his wrist like a bear trap Shadow" chuckling to himself ..." Sonic" alittle help pleassseee, before she draws blood..! " Shadow" sorry that tends to be her intent if shes hungry " Sonic didn't know your kid was vampire but given your wife and your lineage I shouldn't be surprised gritting his teeth through the pain Shadow" don't sound so surpsirsed he chuckled as she slowly prided ruby away from him* rouge I think its time " Rouge" I have her~ luckily I made a extra bottle~ taking ruby in her arms you think thats bad? imagine when I was breast feeding~ XD taking her to the kitchen Sonic" rubbing his arm asshe sighed you knew that would happen didn't you T T" Shadow" who's to say~ now what do you want " Sonic" well I came for some advice " Shadow" regarding?" Sonic" am I a bad parent?"



Shadow" anything can make a bad parent, in what way? " Sonic" well maybe I feel like the kids don't really trust me, I mean sonia is gonna be taking sword lessons from sky, and lein-da is giving training lessons for manic , like come on I'm the dad, I'm here why doesn't anyone come to me??" Shadow" because your very easy going, if someone wants someone serious your not exactly the go-to guy" Sonic" but I am serious, I'm not like "super serious" but I can at least tell when work needs to be done~ crossing his arms Shadow" right, your good for that moment and you go right back to what you were before " Sonic" come on shadow give me something here , I know I'm goo d father for the kids, I'm even helping manic even now" Shadow" okay, you suck as a friend , your horrible as a husband your only saving grace is your good with the kids I'm sure they trust you with there lives" Sonic" looking not too pleased with the answer okay, I get one out 3 thanks " Shadow" your welcome " Sonic" I want to improve okay, thts my reason for coming you and midnight have it good don't you " Shadow" well we don't exactly have fishing trips if thats what your imagining midnight is his own but he needs help learning more about his powers or something along those's lines I'm here I'm more of a support figure type of parent" Sonic" that doesn't bode well given the fact you got ruby coming up, what about her learning her powers, school boys sure your kind of concerned when prom hits XD " Shadow" * clinching his paper in annoyance "

( if I may add in my 3 rings boys ) as rouge walked out with ruby with a bottle in herh and



Ruby" -w- ..." Rouge" sonic shadow is a bit to a puzzle and he wont' crack for anyone, shadow does things that well I may fall short on, he helps midnight and he helps with ruby, it not be something you'd expect out of say.. sky or knuckles but maybe for us I see his love and I see his compassion and it feels real, and guess what not everyone wears there emotions on there sleeves and I should know " Sonic" he must be doing something right if you had ruby " Shadow" I could say the same for you given the fact you have sonia and manic " Sonic" we went straight for the goal you could say XD he laughed Rouge"...* mumbles* yeah in record time too... " Sonic" I know the kids can rely on me , I get that but maybe I'm sorried about not being there , that I wouldn't be there first choice, Shadow" ask yourself this sonic , are you good with a sword?" Sonic" I used one before" Shadow" when?" Sonic" in...a ...story....book" Rouge" oh boy here we go" Sonic" look I swear it happened no one wants to believe me but it did!" Shadow" alright can you handle sky in a sword fight then without your speed and swing the sword with some level of grace" Sonic" that thing takes grace? I thought you just swing it till you hit something"



meanwhile

Sky" his fur frizzled a bit Niyako" something wrong sky? Sky" I just felt... something off for a moment.. "

end



Shadow" how about manic new abilities , hes improving and reaching a level I'm not sure you even reached? its new territory for you, Im' sure he wants help on a level that he knows someone will understand it " Sonic" who else knows speed better then me?" Shadow" well sure, but are you able to teach it?" Sonic" well he learned the homing attack and how to run in place building up power~ " Shadow" great, and beyond that?" Sonic" he hasn't really come to me for more " Shadow" if your saying he didn't approach you maybe you should come to him? " Sonic" tails and fiona say I'm getting too much in there face, so I'm trying to ease up alittle " Shadow" well thats good, but you need to remember sometimes they will and sometimes they won't but don't feel guilty if they don't we all learn skills and traits from different things and people, nova learned how to traverse terrain not from sky, but from kathy when she was little" Sonic" like what the running on four thing?" Shadow" well no but nova adopted that herself and shes made it her own she believes it improves her speed , just like how kiara learned from kathys parents and so on " Sonic" so basically everyone learns from everyone and I shouldn't worry too much about it?" Shadow" exactly " Sonic" lookin down fora moment ..... " Shadow" your kids love you sonic, don't worry too much, let them grow into there own, but make sure you let them know your there and thats all you need to do "



Sonic" taking a deep breathe yeah, yeah your right thanks shadow I think this really eased my mind a bit green hill ringer and shaking the time its time for dinner back home " Shadow" well I'd suggest you make haste " Sonic" hey remember who your talking to xD"



Rouge" well thanks for coming~ l3 " SOnic" thanks for having me . oh adn rouge make sure ruby doesn't tear the bags with those teeth XD " Rouge" OwO.... " * wit hthose final words sonic took his leave , leaving rouge alittle disgruntled



Rouge" Ah.. Git..it! tskk.1 Ahh... HMMMM!! ><! " Shadow" deep breathes, as I said sucks at everything else but he can be a father at least and I don't' know what to call that " Rouge" but but! I ....HMPH! fine! if you need me I'll be on the phone! * as she storms off towards her room she calls kathy(



Kathy" Hel-loo~ <3 Rouge" kathy you got a minute?! " Kathy" ohh rouge whats wrong? you sounds angry ;w; " Rouge" because I am! I just .. maybe we can have duos late night girls outing or something I'm just.. I'm sorry I'm just.. I need to vent >< " Kathy" sigh I'm here girl what happened, what did he say? I know it was sonic TwT " Rouge" how someone nail so many girls but doesn't get a single thing about them... as she explained



to be con.

Later that day after school



Manic was busy picking up his leftover school work as he jsut remembered his meeting with lein-da where suddenly sonia grabbed his attention



Sonia" you know I can take your backpack home for you, since you'll be making a heavy detour :/ crossing her arms a bit Manic" you think I'll be needing anything for my training session with le-lara?" Sonia" I don't know did she tell you what you'll be doing? " Manic" not..really but then again it cant be anything too serious considering I'll still be back home for dinner at the very least xD" Sonia" well in that case you'll want all the time you need, so I'll take your stuff home, its not a problem" Manic" acting someone hesitant as he looked down for a moment I don't know I don't know why I'm so..hesitant with others doing things for me" Sonia" it doesn't make you a spoiled kid if your worried, sometimes your just get help, look I think your taking this "trying to keep up with the rest of the pact" thing too seriously finger quotes just forget everything, get some lectures and some workouts and be home so we can help me with chaos history, cause you somehow book mark all the right chapters " Manic" somehow xD and yet I remember jack squat " Sonia" see we all bring something she chuckled as she grabbed the backpack later! " ( Whooosh!)



continuing along as planned manic did met up with lein-da acting as vigor as ever she already had him perlexed



Lein-da" glad to see your hear on time" Manic" it would be bad if I was late and being so fast " Lein-da" true now put this one,* handing him a blindfold Manic" wha? a blindfold for what?" Lein-da" remember my 3 rules? " Manic" ...right no whining , questioning, or complaining. ma'am* as he put the blindfold on" with that being said lein-da guided him onto the transport with her as they flew off leaving the station



Manic" listening in, lein-da was quiet while manic was strapped into the seat as he thought to himself* ( she knows I've did jogs across the mobius and angel island with dad lots of times, I know alot of the places my heart by now, but shes probably doing a trust exercise, no one else is here so I'm at her mercy, its almost like in Redwind learning the trust others or do you trust yourself )... "

Lein-da" > > .... ( I'm rather impressed this far alone , I remember when my brother gave me the rounds like this, only for me I'm not going to be a ass-hat like him actually try to train him ) eventually reaching angel island the carrier slowly descended and touched down . lein-da had him walk outside the plane ( watch your step ) immediately manic's hear flicked as he heard rushing water near him



for us we could see we were in mushroom hill zone by a large river that was leading down stream into the forest, while they stood a top a water fall



Manic" shaking his head " Lein-da" can you guess where we are?" Manic" alots of pollen in the air and I hear rushing water, would be probably seaside if I didn't smell the heavy plants so I'm gonna go with mushroom hill?" Lein-da" gold star , right now we're standing by the main river that least down ot the beach through the thick part of the woods until you touch sand your not allowed to take that blind fold off. Manic" oh that will be easy from here no less " Lein-da" well I'm sure it will I'll be guiding you, you'll have to choose either by taking my word or trusting your senses of the environment " Manic" but I don't have my phone or a radio with me " Lein-da" no need, I have something for you (Ka-click) suddenly then lein-da snapped a restriction collar on his neck as he quickly stumbled Manic" Aghhh... hey what the!? why do I feel so much weaker DX" Lein-da" sorry manic no speed for this part of my trials, its either me or your instincts* with that she casually pushed him off the waterfall*



( Ahh AHHHHHHHHHH!! ( SPLASSHHHHHhhhh!) ( Cough! Gouch!!) lein-da......!!!) quickly enough the current carried him down stream where his whales were coming quieter



Lein-da" hmhmhm l3 your big boy now manic you either sink or- O O s-swim.. feeling proud of herself for a moment but as she turned around suddenly there a full family of wolves gathered around her growling heavily, until one from the back approached her as the others moved aside and it was snowy giving her just as equally of a angered expression barring her teeth



Lein-da" ( this fucking women... I swear to chaos ) listen he'll be fine, this is trial run I had to do myself when I was younger when I asked for my brothers help, only I actually care . I'm going to use the egg pod to follow him from above the beach should be a good hour walk if he knows his stuff well, I swear he will be fine! " a few a moment or two the wolves began to calm down as snow sat up right, as the wolves slowly began to leave al lthat remained was snowy, but just as lein-da was about to resume her time with manic, snowy walked away leaving a ice figure of lein-da from her tail, then turning towards it she gave one more cold glare towards lein-da then pushing her paw on the ice figures head knocking it over and breaking it into pieces



Lein-da" I...I guess the message... feeling the cold sweat down her head as her fur started crawling, snowy quickly took her leave as well



Meanwhile from the river bed. manic finally reached a point where he pull himself out of the water crawling out *

Manic" well that's one way to wake you up... as he walked to try and lift the fold up for a moment( Kasshhh!) Lein-da" no peaking! " Manic" Gahh DX! Radio" I see you finally decided to ditch the theme park ride " Manic" yeah and I want my refund... " Radio" sorry no refunds beyond this point , no you have two routes you can take, if you follow the river its straight shot of the beach or you can take the forest path, following the trees with the thick trunks of bark but you can get lost easily and turned around, or carefully make your way down river being mindful of the rocks



Manic" ( if her own thing is to trust her word or my knowledge and instincts...) ..hmmm... ( the hills only have one huge river, and a waterfall like the one I know I fell down and if I wanted to guess right... where the grass stops is where the rocks start )... I'll take my odds on the river as he started running



Lein-da" o o... hmm *even after that bath he was still willing* she smirked, as she hovered down the river path from the sky



Manic" Ahh Achooo! naghhh... leaving drenched like this I swear if I get a cold... ) ..Ahhh! (thud!) he ended up tripping falling on the ground* Lein-da" you've been quiet for a while, I hope your not feeling of throwing in the towel " Manic" ...never...NEVER! as he got up dusting himself off he continued his stride through the forest eventually the smell of salt water brushed his face ( beach air I'm getting close finally!) .... as he tried to so a small run but he quickly stopped Radio" alright manic this you'll have to really trust me on,, the beach is crawling with crabs , they return to the sea at this hour, you push forward and risk aggravating them? or you can take the detour ot the west and and pass them all together, its your choice*



Manic" but you said I can take this off when I reach the sand" Lein-da" you want to end this so badly you'll risk getting jumped by crabs. seaside crabs are easily violent" Manic".... sigh your right* ( wack!!) gahh!... running straight int oa palm tree as he pushed against it was very loose as he pushed it a tree... manic suddenly started lining where he was verses the rushing water from the river and going back to the tree he drew a line in the dirt then immediately he started tackling the tree ( Gah!) Lein-da" what are you doing??" Manic" Guh! making a short cut of my own , like you said.. follow my instincts as he started tackling the tree man times until he missed it ait where he only scratched against it cutting his arm Grrr...>< " Lein-da"..... hes either determined or stupid" after lining up one more tackle he rammed the tree as it finally caved knock it over and as it fell you coudl hear it plowed straight on the beach, scaring off a chuck of the crabs, manic hustles walking along the tree and as he reached down her grabbed the sand of the beach in his hand



Manic" does this count?" Lein-da" yes it counts, looks like you made it " as manic took the blindfold off he was greeted by a lovely sunset of the beach (Click) the collar became unlocked and he had his full strength back Manic" ahaha I did it! " Lein-da" congrats manic I was worried at first but you pulled through " Manic" so whats next" Lein-da" well that will be for tomorrow but no more collars , which I'm sure you'll be thankful for " Manic" yes DX " Lein-da" hmhm, well now that you have your full strength back I'm sure you'll have no trouble making it back to the ship" Manic" I can't hitch a ride?!" Lein-da" its only a one seat" Manic" Grrr.......* suddenly looking down, he saw a sharp rock* heh just enough.. as she suddenly went into a spin dash and with enough speed he jumped out throwing the rock towards her and at the rock hit the pod (DING!) it made her spin like a pinball nearly making her fall out but she held on tightly, tryign not to fall

Lein-da" DX!!! " Manic" ( that's my payback for the day xD )



back home at the castle

bedroom, sonia was at her desk revviewing some notes when she looked at the clock

Sonia" .....he borderline missed dinner I hope hes alright"



( Sally" MANIC Sweet chaos your a mess what happened!! " Manic" I'm alright mom really-) Sonia" !?!" ( your fur is a matted your covered in dirt and sand you r arm is scratched, are these palm tree shaving? and you have a crab on your quill! ) Manic" long day"



Sonia" you look like hell " Manic" I feel like hell... and this was only day one... " Sonia" sure you don't want to wash up " Manic" just let me rest my eyes for a minute..or two.. " Sonia" writting a message in chat and he returns "



Nova" not broken I hope, Kiara" my mom can heal him if he needs it " Surge" puts some grit on his teeth " Khalon" mom had snowy keep an eye on him so it can't be that bad " Kiara" I'm sensing moms aura right now, if it was that bad it sure as well pushed her luck my guess "



with that being said manic had falling completely asleep





the next day



manic was completely snoring away on his bed untill eventually he woke from his sleep



Manic" yawn....ahh.. wha..* suddenly turning his head as his eyes began to focus suddenly he looked at the clock seeing it was 10:00 huh...AHHH! I'M LATE FOR SCHOOL! (Thud!) Ahhh! tripping over his own feet falling out of bed he turned the room into a tornado gabbing his clothes and packing his backpack until coming to a halt when the door was locked from the outside what the heck why is the door locked!?...( Bang Bang) MOM! the door is-...locked? suddenly noticing a posted note on his head *



Note" Manic I had a feeling you would be exhausted I called in a sick day for you at school, given your training I proposed you have the week off any assignments you will do from home, please rest as long as you need to, I only locked the door to keep you from flying down the hall in panic. Love: mom"



Manic"... well at least I won't have to worry about miss mayflower scolding me xD " suddenly the door opened up and it was sonic " Sonic" hey sport good to see you r wide awake " Manic" yeah after a short heart attack " Sonic" your mom had a council hall meeting to attend , I said I'd go but she thought maybe I should take this time to help you warm up for whatever lara is gonna put you though > >" Manic" ... . . hehe yeah well I'm sure he won't be as bad as yesterday " Sonic" well I hope not Manic" hehe" Sonic" so how about some breakfast to get you started " Manic" yes please he smiled*



meanwhile



sol kingdom

blaze was on a video call with kathy

Blaze" she blind folded him and had him treed through the forest to the beach with a restriction collar??" Kathy" yes... " Blaze" I'm surprised you didn't jump her after she pushed him down the waterfall" Kathy" believe me I wanted to! but snowy got my message across , but sweet mercy shes skating on thin ice right now!" Blaze" easy kathy, shes still only trying to get him ready for the bigger tasks ahead and if this is training; well it was never going to be easy" Kathy" still does he have to risk dying?" Blaze" don't tell sky this but, my mentor had me survive on the vikings island during a harsh snowstorm alone for 3 days " Kathy" .....why...?" Blaze" it was to teach me to maintain and control my flames, so that no matter the condition I will always have a fire lit" Kathy" dare I ask how old you were? she sighed... " Blaze" looking away nervously rubbing her fingers through her head ..maybe...7 or 8 " Kathy" mother of mercy God all mighty! I don't know who to yell at! you? your mother or your mentor!?" Blaze" well I was a child I didn't know any better, my mother was too busy with the war efforts to even tend to me, and my mentor was well.. he was strict , the only real attention I got was from gardon and, crystal surprisingly" Kathy" wait sky's mother?" Blaze" yes, she worked here as a material researcher our paths would cross on occasion and she would play with me so I wasn't so alone > >" Kathy" ohhh ba-by ;w; well at least you don't put nova through the same hell you did" Blaze" well no but then again nova had a stonger sense of control then I did , maybe some traits from sky?" Kathy" oh? so she did get something from him other then a guilt complex " Blaze" ha ha ha ha ha! your so harsh xD "



Kathy" only because I care " suddenly sky came in the room Blaze" oh I will call you back kathy ( Click) so how was reaper training" Sky" good, it went well, nova is even throwing some different methods I should try using to fight, and even getting me to use my crystal more often now. and even something I never really pushed myself to do " Blaze" that being?" Sky" you noticed I never use my scythe if I'm in another form be it the fox or wolf, nova believes if our scythes are connected to the soul then no matter what form I'm in should have access to it, I jut have to focus and concentrate on it. " Blaze" then you'll be using your two favorite elements with your scythe" Sky" nods we're gonna have a sparring match this evening before dinner but until then she needed to having a tutoring session with kiara " Blaze" what did she need help with" Sky" charting and map scaling" blaze" I see - - she could have asked muzzy or gardon " Sky" =w= kiara's good with math and geometry so she would rather just get the help from her shes grateful she only has like two assignments with this stuff " Blaze" well I'm glad she had wonderful friends she can see for help if need be she smiled softly



Sky" mhm.. stretching as she walked toward s the garden window also another thing I wanted to bring up with you. you were right, you kathy, even wildfire you were all right about me " Blaze" regarding what?" Sky" me wanting to have that respect and to be recognized as king, I have the strength I have the conviction but I always just came off as a errand lad, having to do this, do that, meetings here there everywhere, I was doing everything no instructing or leading. I've bene so hard on myself expecting praise from a superior that I forgot I'm the highest in reality, and I need to stand tall take the role and lead by example not look for someone else to validate my tasks I preform as he paced the floor



Blaze" and what brought you to this conclusion?" Sky" if anything listening to nova giving me ideas, things I can work on train or help myself or ways we help each other I felt like...she was guiding me not the other way around" Blaze" was that a bad thing?" Sky" no, but it gave me a bit of self reflection. I've been doing too much and it was only after being forced not to work that I finally see it " Blaze" mphm~ your welcome~ she smirked but in all seriousness , when we go out in town you may not have seen or noticed but, when people see us they smile, when we enter a restaurant some want to get a picture or two , heck I sometimes have to convince my favorite baker to stop giving me my lemon tart for free as a gift Sky" hmm~ " Blaze" but I will tell you this, and I hope you hold this close to your heart. one day when I went to pick up nova from the school, the younger students were running experiences fighting practice dummies , or doing workouts, but I saw one child he had taken a practice staff and turned it into a scythe and used it practicing his swing "



Sky" o o...... " Blaze" the praise may not be loud like you would imagine , but I believe your inspiration reaches where it matters ^w^ " Sky" oh... oh wow ... smiled softly ^////^ " Blaze" I don't see you blush often" Sky" shut up! Neghhh >< " Blaze" ehehehe XD always and forever be a child " Sky" tsk crossing his arms " Blaze" but lets not forever someone else here will be having scythe lessons one day~ " turning her attention to a basket rocking it as snowfall was sleep curled up in a ball Sky" yeah, one day soon probably sooner then we think " Blaze" hmm X3 "

Blaze" don't mention to wild I said any of this stuff , any leg he can get over me he will take it with a smile " Blaze" I'm sure literally and figuratively " Sky" don't. start. alicia does that enough" Blaze" sure my lips are sealed~ if you give snowfall his bath tonight " Sky" fine" Blaze" and do lock the bathroom door I don't want a wet ball of fur running around " Sky" hit happened only one time" Blaze" once is too much" Sky" or could let kathy do it " Blaze" then will never get him back , " Sky" yeah xD "



moving on t the rest of the day, lein-da was waiting at teh downtown district of albion cit casually checking her clock seeing when manic would arrive until eventually he did leaving a trail of dust behind him



Lein-da" so you finally arrived" Manic" yeah sorry for cutting it so close, so what are we doing today" Lein-da" well as I've said before this is more a "mission" task as she put a radar on his wrist ( click) I want to see how precise you can pay attention to to your environment, and how fast you can preform under pressure, I remember hearing from knuckles sonic likes being under the gun but I doubt you are the same " Manic" nah push me! I can take it! " Lein-da" TwT alright then~ snapping her fingers* suddenly the device on his wrist unfolded into a clamp with a timer on it" Lein-da" around the casino district there was 3 chests, each one has a key card that unlocks the other you have 2 minutes to find them ,the last one has the key to take the lock off your wrist if the timer reaches zero you'll get a bit of a shock, " Mani" whaa?! " Lein-da" clock is ticking " as manic races off*



Lein-da" reaching in her pocket she pulled out the key for his wrist I wonder when he'll notice* sshe casually pulled out her phone to call jack suddenly manic was already back* !?! your back already??" Manic" lara-su always gave us tours around this part of the city, plus I found your little trick after the first box, each one had a theme and you choose wine beverages, after the second, I know it was only the location of the shop, process of elimination " Lein-da" o o my my I'm honestly impressed, you figured it out so quickly " Manic" but the key card didn't work and I can't get this off" Lein-da" not everything is as it seems , maybe you missed something" Manic" maybe.. ugh I-..* just as he was about to rush off again suddenly he turned towards her again* you have it don't you " Lein-da" why would I" Manic" you said it yourself your theme is wines, and you had a discount card in your chest for a bottle of whisker wines " Lein-da" !? I thought I siad not to stare! pushing the card down Manic" its kind of hard, not gonna lie" Lein-da" huffing out of discomfort fine, I'll let you have that, however figuring it out was only half the task now comes your real test as energy started to charge in her hands



Manic" a whole minute left I can do this! charging at her with full force



meanwhile

Nova took a strike towards sky with her scythe as sky blocked it shoving her back* Sky" you really learned how to put your weight into the swing " Nova" well after doing it enough , you get it eventually, how about your wolf form, feel like giving it a go now?" Sky" well better late the never > > " Nova" come on you can do it I know you can, " Sky" taking a deep breathe alright , and remember no holding back" " Nova" I'll try "





* nova started first by hauling back her blade then then swinging forward into a tornado spin towards sky , sky jumped back dodging her attack then with a uppercut swing of his own he disrupted her spin but nova recovered quickly using her fire as a cover and blasted him with it, engulfing him completely in her flame( Fwooosshhhhhh!)



Nova" ??.....(Shinkk!) with in a second all the fire was frozen looking like as sculpture then extending forward from the vase was a trail of ice making it way towards nova as she jumped back and started running from it as it chased her down until she used her fire to stop it then from above sky jumped down back in his base form with his scythe slamming down with his scythe (Shing!) ( Whooshhh!) missing her head by inches she formed wings from her energy and flew backwards dodging it *



Nova" ( hes still switching back and forth, but if he wasn't I swear this would be alot harder) panting softly.. > >; .... Sky" ( it still doesn't want to react I need to stop taking the easy option... ) ..( come on focus),,, focus" as sky stood still trying to concentrate his power making the ice generate in his base form" Nova" ( he must be doing it backwards I thought he would try to get the scythe to sommon in his wolf form not the ice in his base ) either way a fights a fight twisting her waist around like a spring she swing around throwing her scythe towards him then on top of that she engulfed it in her flames creating a flame tornado towards him Sky" !?! causing sky quickly jump out of his the way with his reaper form but at that moment nova chased him down flying wards him as she rocketed it towards him punching him straight in the stomach sending him flying back* ( Cough!) sky fell tumbling through the air hitting the ground



Sky" coughing... pulling himself towards her got back on his feet ..* changing back to his wolf form*... ( come on what am I not doing.. I can feel it I can sense it but it not wanting to cross why is it forcing itself to stay apart its sol energy I've used it before! )... " Nova" in that moment she rushed him down with fire engulfing her fists Sky" as sky stood there focusing on only his weapon in his wolf form he eventually something was starting to form but in that second nova on in close and thrusting her fist towards him she engulfed him in fire (WHooosshhhhhh!!) as she jumped back watching the fire completely take over*



Nova" dad? .....(...........) Dad.?? oh Goddess.. DAD! DX ( Woosshhh!) suddenly in a icy wind the flames slowly faded out as sky walked from the cloud and in his hand was his scythe with a icy coating along the hilt and the blade itself still maintaining the ice on his scythe while still having burns from her flames Nova" whoa... o o you did it, you actually did it! " in that second sky swung his arm back as the blade began to glow he quickly unleased a energy strike towards her that flew through the air

Nova" OH GOD !! ( BASSSHHHH!!) the energy from from the strike itself left the grass frozen but as it hit the ground itself suddenly the ground around it was completely stricken with ice and crystal that even started to grow as if it worked like kathys vines over taking the field, nova hovered in the air just barely dodging it holy hell this is amazing, suddenly her ears flickered as she heard was sounded like faint foot steps sky as dashed from the spikes flying higher and higher in the air until he reached her with his scythe pulled back behind her



Nova" o o....." Sky" no holding back remember " * as sky hooked her where the blade and hilt meet, in one full swing he launched her back down to the ground smashing into the ice) (BASSHHHH!)



as sky was in reaper form his elevated in the air waiting for nova to respond and with in moments suddenly you saw the ice starting to melt until a Geyser of flames erupted melting all the ice as nothing was left but the hot muggy mist that clouding her as you only saw a red glow from her eyes

Sky" hmhm that's my girl~ as he stepped on the ground ice was starting to form just from his energy alone, as the ice was slowing reach nova it was being to melt turning to to steam only when it reached so far



meanwhile from the castle blaze was watching them from the balcony while holding snowfall

Blaze" literally my burning star~ " Snowfall" o o... " Blaze" your gonna be just like us snowfall you have alot to look forward too in time* bouncing him softly in her arms* Snowfall" nova... owo "



Niyako" .. watching as well i.. really didn't expect her to be a Goddess of fire.. I knew she was good but... " Blaze" and she can do this , imagine what I can do she chuckled Niyako" ears lowered as he tail tucked ... ( m-maybe I don't belong in this family.. I'm just an engineer for God's sake DX ) " Blaze" oh I'm just joking niyako no need to go into a cold sweat xD " Niyako" says my future mother in law who can turn me to ashes in a second " Blaze"...??" Niyako" AHhh I'm so so sorry that just came out that way I didn't impose a- suddenly she put her hand on his head Blaze" I think that shows who close you've become part of this family, and I know my future son in law has alot to live up to ^^ " Niyako" ... chibi, looking down at the ground as blaze walked away you fail your mech exam and your substitute marry into a family of demi-gods sure why not..." ( Blaze" were not demi-gods niyako for goddess sake. there are some that make us look like children " ) Niyako" that does not make me feel better DX " Snowfall" DX " Blaze" imagine what kathy can do compared to us "



meanwhiel back on the field



as nova was building up fire in her hands asshe was aboutot sprint towards sky as he was about to to the same *



( (Th-Thump!) Sky" O O .... ( G-Aackk!) in a second he coughed up blood Nova" ?!! " in a second sky dropped his scythe as he was force back into his normal form spitting up blood Sky" panting...*coughing Ahhh... ahhh " Nova" rushing towards him* Dad! dad!! " Sky" wow ..okay.. I learned something new" Nova" what happened should I call the doctor?! ;w; Sky" no.. noI I should be fine just.. I pushed myself too hard too soon" Nova" how..?" Sky" its its like my reaper from before, separating from my body it was taxing and if I remained in that state too long, this would happen so I suppose using my reaper abilities in my alternate forms has the same side effect" Nova" but your not dying right " Sky" no, but I think this will be enough for today " Nova "* helping him on his feet* well at least we proved you can do it " Sky" y-yeah, and you really showed your stuff too " Nova" I won't lie I got scared for a moment xD" Sky" you think I wasn't it? they both laughed over it Sky" lets havea rest for now~ " Nova" ^w^"



Sky" although I think we should have kathy come to fix the grass valley, cause I think we ruined the climate just a bit, Nova" summer on one side and winter on the other " Sky" best of both worlds xD" ( hahahahah) kathy hits them both with a newspaper Kathy" like father like daughter it seems also. XP "



evening

Castle acorn



the family was having dinner minus one noticing one chai t being empty *



Sonia" so I suppose having manic late is going to be a the going thing this week" Sonic" I can't say for sure but right now it appears that way" Sally" I know this is a training process but after yesterday I fear I may have cause for concern" Sonic" eheh.. I'm sure it will be alright" Sally" well I hope so" Sonia" you know.. can I ask this honestly? I get why, nova wants to train to protect the sol emeralds thats her goal , lara-su is the new guardian, what exactly is manic's end goal?" Sonic" wanting to follow in your old mans foot steps, sort of like how khalon and prime knuckles seem to be , thats the closet I would make it" Sonia " but, I remember him going on about living up to your legacy and instead of just inheriting it he wanted to kind of earn it in way, that was another reason why he was going out of his way doing all that hes doing " Sally" manic has been feeling alittle left behind comparing to your friends and I think he doesn't want to be left behind anymore " Sonic" someone with speed like mine being left behind doesn't really fit us I would say he chuckled softly but uhh.... I will be honest and seeing him crash the way he did, had me alittle worried so we can jsut avoid those events I would be happy " Sally" agreed "



that being said manic eventually made his way home, sonia seeing him by the corner of her eye in the hall not looking as bad as he did the other way but bandages were present on his person from around his waist and head



Sonia" another rough day?" Manic" not as rough as yesterday but better , and I feel like I came out better for it so uhh.. yeah I'm good! so yeah I'm gonna turn in early night everyone" Sally" at least grab something and have a bath? are you sure manic " Manic" I'm sure mom I'm okay, love you he called out heading off down the hall having tired tone Sonic" I really starting to question wither or not I should stick my nose in this or not, I don't want to be a helicopter parent" Sally" but at the same time, how long before manic comes home completely in a coma DX " Sonia" I doubt that will happen , plus remember kathy is always hovering somewhere in the distance if shes not responding then things must be fine" Sonic" yeah but what she thinks is a concern verses what I think is a concern is two completely different things crossing his arms maybe I can have a chat with lara-su before hand and learn what exactly is going to happen next so we can be alittle prepared for it " Sally" I thought knuckles already told you" Sonic" he just told me

it was going to be some varying training exercises and sparring sessions that would push manic to his limit and besides that it was really anything too detailed , I'm starting to wonder if there just playing it all by ear, I might as well just have asked kathy " Sonia" you loovvvve~ just name dropping her don't you T T" Sonic" we all have our sour spots, I do find it ironic for me is has anything to do with knuckles to some degree be it from here or another version " " Sally" but kathy is unrelated" Sonic" but she is a guardian at the end of the day and what is knuckles? coincidence? I think not " Sonia" good grief "



as manic collapsed on the bed laying on his back



Manic"......( what am I even doing... am I trying to prove something?... showing I'm just as good as everyone else?... I don't know anymore )



hours earlier

Manic" getting the key from lein-da* " Lein-da" I'm goign ot be honest manic I wasn't expecting you to get passed my first trial at all and I didn't think you would try to fight me, period" Manic" yay I guess, I'm not exactly happy with the fact I have to keep this secret from my dad and say I'm training with lara-su coming home like I came from a war, eventually hes going to learn I'm lying , at this point I don't even know why I'm even doing this anymore! " Lein-da" I thought you goal was to get better at control your speed " Manic" I thought that too, but I think my ego just tells me I don't want to fall behind everyone else, nova lara, are guardians my dad left behind a legacy and I want to fit that and I just....." Lein-da" you just...? " Manic" I don't know...I don't know what I want, all I know is I feel like I'm being left behind by my friends and I don't want to hate them cause I know its just me... " Lein-da" sighing softly no training tomorrow, it wil l be a rest period, however I do want you to come see me , I think maybe alittle retrospect might help you, Manic" how " Lein-da" I do felt there was hole in my chest, believing I needed to be something achieve X in order to become Y, and I hated others around me who didn't reflect those goals and in the end I was only ruining myself " Manic" why go out of your way to help me" Lein-da" because someone went out of there way to help me "

end



Manic" so I guess tomorrow will be history lesson" Sonic" hey manic you doing alright sport?" Manic" tired, " Sonic" you know if you think you had enough you can call it quits just saying" Manic" no I'm alright, I'm half way after tomorrow might as well finish it out plus this was a means to paying back for slicing knuckles's car so I have to bite the bullet, its only fair " Sonic".... well I'm.. I'm proud to hear your steed fast conviction , I wonder if you got it from your mother chuckles Manic" eheh maybe.. um sorry if I've been sour puss at all its been weird but in some way I do like this is a bit" Sonic" you know what I'd like? , I'd like you having training by your dad and not someone else leaving you half dead in the dirt, thats what I'd like m but it is what it is. shrugging but you said you want to keep going didn't you" Manic" yeah then I can throw it in everyone else's faces xD " Sonic" smirks well just don't push too hard and you know I'm here for you ^^ " Manic" thanks sonic hugs him tightly Sonic" get some rest champ see you in the morning~ " Manic" good night "





the next morning



Manic was already taking a ride with lein-da to her home office , as they exited the car and entered the legion's station , manic noticed all of the old relics of the eggman war from different machines to uniforms to even plates summarizing events*



Manic" what is this, like a museum? ' Lein-da" you would be half right, this is the dark legion's hall of history and a bit of a reminder for myself of certain... mistakes I've made " Manic" doesn't look so much like mistakes to me " Lein-da" that is because you don't know the history behind it as lein-da took a stroll over to a display case, taking a necklace in her handthis belonged to my mother Merin-da her and my father served as the grand master something I desperately wanted to the point I became a monster for it" Manic"...... lara always went on about the grand masters and how ppower upsessed they were, why did you want to be one of them anyway?" Lein-da" the very same reason you are trying so hard to keep up with your friends. I wanted to be grand master to lead my people, and I felt I knew better then my mother at the time, and I was looking for praise fro mmy father, but seeing there priorities were elsewhere, I wanted there position for myself. looking back I couldn't tell you if I was right or wrong. let me ask you something manic if you achieve anything right now what would it be? I know this may bea loaded question but try and humor me for a moment "



Manic" anything > > hmm... well if I wanted something meaningful I guess I would say I fall short, cause I'm already happy with my friends and family, but I guess what makes me so unsure is seeing all the things there doing, and I wonder am I doing something wrong..? " Lein-da" I wouldn't say its wrong, your just satisfied, your a have a loving family , good friends , and a legacy you can make what you a want of it. crossing her arms I suppose the reason I brought you here was to show you people who took advantage of me because I was so busy trying to force myself to take on something that might not have been for me " activating a profile viewer one of which was her brother* this was my brother kargok , he was like me only worse, " Manic" is it fair to say you look less like a villain then he does?" Lein-da" I think your completely fair in saying so, after our mother was....deceased we both were striving for th e title , the grandmaster holds much political and military power and statues over the clan , I always felt my mother squandered her posittion, and my father was too busy trying get on eggmans good side only to use him later but that didn't end well for him either, but sadly I followed in his wake and I ended up under his damn thumb anyway, only in some cases to be left in a body cast or worse "



Manic" worse DX " Lein-da" I will spare you the details," Manic" but then if you say you did this that and the other and you turned over a new leaf , what made you change, you said someone went out of there way to help you, I assumed it was going to be knuckles?" Lein-da" tsk... knuckles hated me as did my half-sister but I can't say I didn't give her good reason but at the time I didn't care, the n came my partnership with Dr finitevus someone I never should have trusted and caused me to make everything a living hell for myself and kathy "



Manic" you mean thats when killer became a thing?" Lein-da" yes... switching to her profile Manic" I'll never get use to seeing that face" Lein-da" I still have nightmares , but there all I deserve. but before I go off topic again, at one point it was sky that tried to get me to let everything go" Manic" why?" Lein-da" he for someones say me ruining myself try to achieve my goal and told me just to let it go, he truly wanted to office m an escape from all of this. to this day I don't get why? everyone else would have me dead-to-rights but he tried to extend a hand " Manic" maybe he liked you" Lein-da"....* biting her lip* and I was so starved for compassion I forgot whati t felt like which almost made me.. crush on him in return, not that he knows that"



Manic" you went though all this lein-da and thinking about it, maybe.. maybe in a way I feel like I have it easy and its cool being someone like my dad I can run at top speeds, and I'm hero to some for the little things I try to do XD, but.... looking at nova or kiara or even lara-su I feel like I'm carrying cup of water while there holding buckets, comparing our selves to others is never good, be it me with my friends or you with your relatives, we should just be ourselves, at least that's what my dad would say" Lein-da" the problem with that coming from your father is that he's never had empathy for someone else, knuckles and I never got along but our goals lined up and well, lets just say sometimes I tried to make moves but well it didn't go my way crossing her arms

Manic" but in the end what did you want? " Lein-da"........I wanted what I knew was best for my people ,I wanted to make sure of that, and I told myself I was willing to do whatever it takes to achieve that, even if it I destroyed myself in the process and in come cases I did... holding her head as she recalled her moments being shot by snively or close calls with killer or the most recent krogak from another mobius I .. told myself I would be a monster to protect everyone else but maybe I didn't want that or I wasn't as willing as I thought " Manic" grandma always said we never stop learning about ourselves and the world around us and you shouldn't be too hard on yourself as long your willing to learn those lessons to be better " Lein-da" heh... this was suppose to be a talk for you not me " Manic" I can be wise when I want to~ but I do get what you wanted to do. you wanted me to get the idea I don't have to rush behind my friends or beat myself up for lagging behind, maybe... maybe my path is a different one. an I shouldn't hurt myself because I'm not becoming like them " Lein-da" exactly, carve your own way, we take lessons and examples from our friends and family around us not to copy them but to help us down on our paths whatever it might be - - " Manic" and I could end up like my dad or not who knows but no matter what I'm still me at that end of it all " Lein-da" nods you know I worried about vanolo when he would hang out with you sometimes nice to know my worries were misguided " Manic" hey! I'm not that bad XP "



Lein-da" well you never know she laughed so with that being said I think I knew good mission for you in the training simulator that might work out good for you" Manic" cool so it wouldn't just be a day of nothing but talking " Lein-da" there is nothing wrong with having little patience"



as they were taking there leave at the entrance they were quickly stopped by sonic



Manic" dad? " Sonic" so I was right you were with lein-da this whole time not lara " Lein-da" sigh fine its been an ill kept secret knuckles asked me to give some guidance and training for him and honestly I think its been doing great for the boy" Sonic" hes been coming home half battered you call that great?? " Lein-da" training was never suppose to be easy " Sonic" you don't have o drill him either " Manic" dad I'm fine really, I don't mind it at all" Sonic" maybe you don't manic but me and your mother do" Lein-da" manic is trying to find is place in the grand scheme of things and I think my ways have helped him see those things , you need to fall a few times in order to learn " Sonic" I think I can get the same point across without your help " Lein-da" sonic don't you think your being a little over protective? what is the worse hes had to encounter? even I don't coddle vanolo " Sonic" from all of your track records doesn't inspire alot of hope , and no offense lien-da your not really the motherly type Lein-da" excuse me!? " Sonic" I tries lara cause she babysat the twins all the time shes familiar the the kids, I wanted someone like a big to train manic not a drill commander " Lein-da" some of us work better without kid gloves sonic, maybe manic is tried of your constant babying , I know you feel like you fallen short being a husband and father, but don't have the kids "suffer" for it she hissed " Sonic" given between you and jack its hard to tell who's the mother " Manic" Dad enough! okay! the lessons lein-da gave me were good I like the training I'm getting, I know your only worried but I don't want to belittle what shes done for me , so just leave her alone! " Sonic" ?!!.... " Manic" shes going to take me to the police center to test out a VR mission thing right?" Lein-da" y-yes right > > " Sonic" manic are you really-" Manic" yes! I'm sure lets go as he walked passed him as lein-da followed after him Lein-da" I promise he'll be home in one piece... "



as they left, leaving sonic there on his own



Sonic"....... ( Vosh) suddenly kathy just appeared in front of him what the " Kathy" you know I don't like getting too involved and I'm trying to ease up and let you guys handle your own drama only in extreme cases but this time... (SLAP!) giving him a backhand slap what. the hell. has crawled up your butt, lein-da tries all the time to be a good mother for vanolo shes not only the hardcore dome you see all the time, and as for manic, let him breathe! hes not going to be a sonic 2.0! (Vosh!)



as kathy teleported back home

Kathy" ><.....* grabbing one of the cats* HMMMMMM!!! screaming into there fur they squirmed and jumped out her arms ... at least I kept it brief"





with manic off with lein-da , leaving sonic alone with his thoughts especially after kathy's interaction all he was left with was his own actions , but back with manic and lein-da she had gone silent for a bit untill they arrived at the base



Manic" hey.. I'm I'm sorry for the stuff my dad said " Lein-da" your not responsible for him, but thank you for defending me, you didn't have two " Manic" your..your welcome " trying his best to put on a small smile " as lein-da had the training program set up for him she immediately left him to his own devices at that point leaving her on her own



Lein-da" ..* rubbing her head tiresomely* stupid... lousy son of a... suddenly you could see she had her phone out as she called jack Jack" lein-da its not often I call from you at this time" Lein-da" yes well.. consider it a special occasion.. as explained what took place Jack" he really went there..." Lein-da" yes and .. after everything I'm doing for vanolo he has the nerve to-" Jack" its alright he doesn't know, not many do, but still that gives him no right and the fact his son spoke up also adds on to your case " Lein-da" yes.. so I'm sur e he'll be finished with this last task I have for him in no time, but can you drop manic off home for me , I feel if I see him right now I will do something I shouldn't.. Jack" thats fine I will be there shortly" Lein-da" thank you... and I'm.. I'm not bad for the kids am I.. I know I have a history but I'm really trying to-" Jack" its alright lein-da.. I promise your doing just fine don't let what he said get to you" Lein-da" wiping her tears away trying to keep a straight face... "



at the same time



Sonic" hey sally " Sally" hm?" Sonic" be honest, am I am I a bad father?" Sally" !? well I wouldn't say by no means "bad" but you do try to be what I consider to be the standard and your involved, but what would make you question this?" Sonic" explaining to sally what happened " Sally" oh I see... well your not bad but your comments sometimes come out very unfiltered , you say what you think too much without considering how others might take it, and nor do ooyu think about how others might look hearing something like that towards her from manic's end he probably feels guilty regardless of how you feel about lein-da manic doesn't share those same feelings " Sonic" I jsut feel like everyone wants to turn my kids against me " Sally" sonic, I think that fear alone is going ot turn them against you, you have to relax and allow them to grow into there own, you have to grow just as much as they do, and well we all make mistakes alone the way " Sonic" hmm Sally" personally for manic's sake I would say you need ot apologize to lein-da for the parenting comment cause really sonic for a women who is a mother , a real mother trying her best, regardless of who they are we take that very seriously and what you said was really a kick to the nuts " Sonic" okay I admit I was a bit over the top, again I felt like folks want to turn me against my own kid " Sally" or maybe you were expecting him to be just like you?" Sonic" maybe, another miscount on my part " Sally" mhm but at least an easily fixable one , once they arrive or if you pick him up, apologize with manic there and you can salvage the situation, okay? Sonic" I'll try, now I only hope shes willing to hear me out



at that moment there was a visitor at the door

Sonic" it must be them -w- " ( Beep beep!) as sonic left to answer the door nicole contacted sally Nicole" yeaaahhh... can I be hones?t " Sally" that depends, can you be unbiased? " Nicole" even unbiased telling a mother shes no different from the father thats... thats really kind of hurtful, I understand not everyone can be a kathy, but those who try > >.... " Sally" hes unfiltered and always believes his own hype and he struggles when he gets push back, but I think hes genuinely sorry" Nicole" some things are hard to forgive sally, you think your being little too nice on him" Sally" before I wouldn't be so nice but seeing him actively trying to improve for the better I'm trying to be little less harsh and given how lein-da is I'm sure she will make her feelings known - - "



menwhile in the lobby



Sonic" honestly I wasn't expecting to see you hear jack" Jack" yeah well lein-da had to call it in early so she asked me to bring manic home " Sonic" that's alittle unfortunate I sort of want to apologize for somethings that were said before > >" Jack" shes told me the story I will make she sure she hears it" Sonic" heh thanks, so how did the training go manic?" Manic" at least I'm not dragged through the dirt again he chuckled Sonic" only two more days to go" Manic" yeah xD " Jack" mind leaving me with your dad for a moment manic, jsut have some other issues to over " Sonic" its alright, take it easy inside xD " as manic headed inside, without showing it , he know jack was going to talk about how lein-da was feeling Manic" > >;; .... " Sonic" alright whats the real thoughts about me" Jack "no one wants to hear there wife in distress over the phone, you know that right?" Sonic" she really took it that hard?" " Jack" yeah. she did (Twack!!) in a second jack kneed sonic in the stomach causing him to spit up as he hunched over* Sonic" cough!! Ahhh..><" forcing sonic on his knees, jack grabbed him by the chin lifting his head up ><;; Jack" I'm only here because she was scared of what she would do to you if she saw you again, so I'm sure this is a light version, you say some dogshit like this again, and I'll break your ankles " Sonic" cough noted... " on that note jack took his leave, as sonic slowly got back on his feet I can't say I didn't deserve it sigh... but didn't sal say he was skys advisor? I can see why "

it wasn't long before jack arrived back home only to find lein-da sitting with vanolo by the fireplace



Vanolo" I'm surprised he took the mission so lightly , I think I struggled when you had me do it" Lein-da" well you are younger vanolo keep that in mind, but you fared just as well* Vanolo" well I always have help > > " Lein-da" and in time you'll be soloing just like your mother with no issue" Vanolo" > > " Lein-da" but no pressure... wrapping her arm around him tightly " Jack" well don't you both look cozy" Lein-da" how did it go?" Jack" sonic wished to apologize what his comments and I added on to his apology so this won't happen again" Lein-da" I see I'm happy yo u drove a point home, I worried if I was being too soft" Jack" no sometimes folks need to be reminded that the husband plays a part as well putting his hand on her shoulder* Lein-da " mhm... * suddenly a portal opened up* and walking through it glacion walked towards them Jack" isn't that one of kathy's? " Lein-da" !! yes she comes by sometimes " Vanolo " glacion XD as she jumped on the couch with them Jack" fire and ice how ironic " Lein-da" oh hush she laughed softly " Jack" feeling better? as he sat down beside her Lein-da " just a bit leaning her head on his shoulder just a bit - - "





Back in the sol kingdom



medical office

Doctor" well your highness the results are in and so far your health is in overall in good order, you may want to add more water to your diet and lessen your salt intake " Sky" well I know little changes I know I can make = = " Doctor" but I understand you had concerns regarding your heart?" Sky" well yes, during a training session the other day I preformed certain tasks and when I do them too long it causing me to cough up blood, hearing this my wife got scared and she wanted me ot have this check up, just to calm her nerves " Doctor" walking to the shelf looking up the previous records * I remember you use to take heart medication some years ago, and then only recently you were able to stop completely? " Sky" yes > > lets just say it was due to a transplant I had " Doctor" well that would explain alot, why you would no longer need the medication, but it is odd your body just accepted it so seamlessly " Sky" it was done using a form of magic " Doctor" now I see -w- " Sky" you seem little annoyed " Doctor" its more I've been around folks who treat magic as a substitute for real medical science and treat it like a cure all when it isn't, but some have rose tinted glasses for the arts " Sky" well everything has its ways of helping I never thought one over shadowed the other > > " Doctor" at least you are more leveled about it then many I've met in my time " Sky" heh Doctor" but as for your heart regarding the bleeding, if it happened using the same training methods as before right?" Sky" well in a way , if your willing to humor me if I explain it? " Doctor" sure I have time "



sky explains what happens in his reaper form if he was separate from his body for too long in the past then explain his new technique with nova the other day



Doctor" I see.. well I would have to monitor you over time but I can give you a theory, when your soul leaves your body, it leaves it dormant like between life and death but your body still is active and functioning but its turn cold with no soul , and our hearts are always functioning even when we are asleep, and I believe you leaving your body is..similar to boat engine running at full speed then all of a sudden the fuel tank is gone but the engine is still going on what use to be there and it starts to disrupt the floor and that disruption sends your heart into shock I can explain how your soul returning fixes the functions but at least that my idea as for you coughing up blood" Sky" I won't have to start taking the pills again will I DX " Doctor" well no everything seems to be normal but if you keep pushing it like you did this time there might be a possibility " Sky" I see " Doctor" well for now you have nothing to worry about but I will keep a close eye on your condition, "



after a few rounds up sky left the medical bay a little dishearten



Sky"I get a brand new heart by way of the angel of death , and in order to improve my skills I could end up back on these stupid meds rubbing his head there has to be a way I can do this.. ( it boils down to my sou l leaving the body so if there a way I can jsut have part of it stay in the body so my heart will remain stable? ) Niyako" your highness I finished those updates you wanted for nanobyte and I'm having the code sent to the main frame for the firmware update" Sky" oh? wonderful thank you niyako,,, as he continued on Niyako" is something wrong?" Sky" just some roadblocks I've hit if I want to train with my soul a certain way, its a little hard to summarize " Niyako" is is when your soul leaves into your new form bia your crystal and it hurts your main body because your separated?" Sky" ?!!" Niyako" nova tells me alot when we're alone " Sky" I hope you cherish that trust like gold T T" Niyako" eheh.." Sky" but to answer your questions yes, if I plain to pracitice this new form of attack I have it have the potential to damage my heart and if I tell my wife she might even forbid me from doing it" Niyako" you know I'm not a spiritualist but I've always heard our souls are spread out across many different lives across the realm of creation, in some ways our souls are already in pieces so maybe there isa way you could leave more of your self behind in your main body to keep yourself sustained when you trains form? " Sky" easier said then done niyako " Niyako" I know I'm just trying ot help, too bad there is nothing I would develop to help " Sky" you do plenty, the best option I have is either I heavily limit my time using that power or reduce it ot one time attack or not at all or..." Niyako" no jsut wait can see what happens you only just started using this new thing right? Sky" yes Niyako " maybe the answer will show up on its own later" Sky" why not now " Niyako" wouldn't we al lwantt hat " Guard" Niyako! cleva is expecting you! Niyako" right! okay I have to go!"



Sky" ( he isn't wrong though ).. I'll just keeping testing and see what I can and can't do and go from there "



as sky made his way back to the dinning hall , he was surprised to see blaze talking with sally and sonia was there as well sitting with her



Sky" hm? sonia , sally this is a surprise and no sonic? " Sally" yes well I wanted to keep this a little secret for now , I came asking for your help " Sky" did something happen is anything wrong?" Sally" no, no this isn't an emergency situation more along the lines of an unexpected development" Sky" ohhh okay " Sally" go ahead and show him" Sonia" no pressure > >;; she stood up form the table Sally" sky I know you were never fond of the council back during our years fighting the war, but there were little tidbits about my family history I'm sure your aware of?" Sky" uhhhh... look all I remember is your familiy heriteda magic sword that was used to defeat naugus at some point down the line, the sword of acorn was it? I remember you rejected the calling because of your father shoehorning you into a boxed destiny " Sally" thats one way to put it, eventually we had the sword away in the family chambers since naugus was gone and there was no need for it to be used again, unless a great time for its retur nwoudl be needed, and by who that remained to be seen, untill...today"



Sonia" holding her hand out as a force of wind surrounded her as energy started to manifest and with in a second a medieval blade with a golden hilt was summoned to her hand (Boom!) *



Sky" Ehh!? " Sally" it shouldn't be a shock but it is sonia has been chosen to wield the sword of acorn " Sonia" and I know jack squat about sword fighting I never even picked up a sword ;w; " Sally" I was hoping you could possibly teahc her the ways of sword fighting" Sky" well...uhhh... I mean " Blaze" you still have your old blade from your master, I'm sure its no different " Sky" actually it is, eastern style sword play verses knightship sword fighting are very different, I am familiar with both, I wonder if darkfire could help.. " Sally" I want these ot be private lessons " Sky" why so keen on that?"



Sally" because, given manics drive to make himself catch up to the rest of his friends in terms of skill and feeling involved I don't want this suddenly development with sonia to damper his confidence and even the fact the sword chose sonia and not him? would not help at all... " Sky" ohhh I see, your trying to avoid a wedge between them " Sally" yes, " Sonic" does sonic know?" Sally" not yet but I fear he might find out soon enough but for now would you be willing to help, " Sky" firstly , wouldn't you ask antoine? hes captain of your acorn guard isn't he?" Sally" yes but hes terrible at secrets " Sky" true > > " Blaze" has darkfire actually ever used a kings sword before?" Sky" not that I know it , common swords I've seen him with are eastern style blades , evne pirate blades carry there own form of fighting" Sonia" this is all nice and fun but I'm not really a fighter DX , mom is right though , why me? not manic he wants to be everything my dad was meanwhile I'm just coasting on by, I was actually going ot start computer science with data this year, I'm not... sigh this isn't for me... " Sky" walks up to sonia all things in life happen for a reason, we may not understand the reasoning now but maybe in time we will, putting his hand on her head well sally I can run her though the basics just get her started as for anything more serious will play it by ear, how does that sound?" Sally" thats just fine thank you" Sonia" so does that mean I have to join the sword users club " Sky" well if kathy can have ponytail club I can have sword club~ crossing his arms " Blaze" shouldn't be a weapons club instead?" Sky" or it could be a blade club but that doesn't roll off the tongue as good "

to be con.

Elsewhere*



in the alternate mobius we arrive at a market plaza with surge zuzu and kit and sugar



Zuzu" a hunting we will go~ a hunting we will go~ hi ho the dairy-oh a hunting we will go~ " Surge" its not even hunting, we're just going to the meat market for mom, plus she wanted us to go out as a family " Zuzu" yeah plus I had to practice my disguises annnd,,, maybe we can causing some appearances along the way l3 " Sugar" don't get too happy dear even if I am the mayor it doesn't mean you can just get away with anything, even though I know it was be extremely easy with this new power boost, as she looked into the pale of her hand as charged force of chaos energy started to form , ( I swear killer forever wants to make sure we're on easy mode aren't we ) > >" Surge" I just wish you would have went with a possum it suits you better" Zuzu" sorry I want to a line with mom more" Surge" yeah but your more of a gremlin and possum would have been a easy way to upgrade you to trash can she smirked Zuzu" your a trash can! bites her arm " Surge" that;s what the arm padding is for you trash gremlin! shaking her off Kit" guys please , we're gonna cause a scene... you know people are watching " Sugar" luckily not many look, because what else would you expect from a mother a 3 " Zuzu" a hot ass milf?" Sugar" o o...." turning to zuzu with the spray bottle T T Zuzu" Ahhh Stop it " Sugar" spraying her still Zuzu" I'm sorry I'm sorry ;w;! " Sugar" now then both of you settle down while I get the meat I'm looking for, this market was specifically known for some crispy pork and anything that can satisfy the meat grinder that is you and your sister is a good thing"



Surge" hey, I think I am easily pleased " Sugar" "sometimes"

as the lot continued along they arrived at vendors selling fresh meet and eventually ready made food as well as the aromas filled the air the seasonings of pork beef fish and duck was something triggering zuzu greatly Zuzu" grrr..* growling softly* " Sugar" kit~?" Kit" I got it her using his water he attached a chest strap leash to her keeping her with in arms length Surge" face palming a bit feeling slightly embarrassed from her being on leash and I have to call you a sister"



while they were waiting there turn sugar noticed someone in the corner of her eye a group of women talking and walking together hearing sugar's name getting thrown around in there gossip, she decided to trail them



( I for one believe sugar makes some nice points in cleaning up the citys the restoration was always an independent cause so many some true leadership may help bring things in line/ that might be true but the gossip going around her being a zeti herself the tales of them eating people is not a good look good cause or not I'd rather not / well to defeat your enemy you have to become your enemy, zavok has been trouble for months , once hes dealt with when we can worry about sugar )



Surge" *having a sour face hearing so much disdain for sugar" ???" at least the number of child abductions have decreased since eggman was killed " ???2" wasn't that starlines doing" ???3" he worked for him didn't he?" ???5 " a rumor was put put that to keep himself hidden he didn't steal the children he bought them off " ???2" so what your saying the mothers just sold there children off to him?" ???5" how much would you give your child up for" ???" nothing! that's what" ???3" everyone has a price just saying "



the last women that spoke closely resembled surges color scheme and being a tenrec herself only with short hair instead of long she had a alot of jewelry around her wrists and neck



??? " I like to out price them if that was the case" ???2" a billion hows that T T" 3???" at least try to be reasonable " 5???" your point is sell them not keep them plus you can always have more" ???" oh don't be so horrible! "



surge tightened her lip as she turned away heading back to the others



Kit" a creme frappuccino would be nice" Sugar" once we get the dragon spice I need we ca ngo, heaven knows they sell out quickly " (bump!) unaware of where she was, surge ended up running into sugar Sugar" there you are I was wondering where you wondered off " Sugar" huh?!..oh..yeah right I just was looking around .... " Zuzu" for what another amplifier? cause you caused a power surge with the other one " Kit" I gave her a peppermint to calm her down I think it just made her weird... " Surge" no, but I think I got inspired for a new song... Sugar".....* sensing the bitterness in her voice and her expressing as her eyes were glossy as if she wanted to cry* well things are getting crowded so lets try to stay together alright? as she continued she grabbed surges hand tightly Kit" !? ( did something happen ??)... "



later that day arriving home



Zuzu" never did I guess, peppermint can make us drunk. you learn something new every day... " Kit" zuzu" thats the TV" Zuzu" huh, turning towards kit the TV has big ears :/ " Kit" I think you need to lay down" with out much of a word surge went straight to her room. closing the door behind her she slid to the floor as she grit her teeth energy was starting to build up around her



Surge" pant..*pant*...!?!? No! No calm down calm down..calm down...calm down holding her head as she tried to relax.... sigh...fuck me... what are the damn odds? and I could be wrong but... its still scary to think about..... picking up her phone,,, she calls khalon



Khalon"....... hello? " Surge" h-*ahem* hey pinky, you busy?" Khalon" well I was in the middle of a writers block for a scene causing fight scenes are harder to draw the more people are involved surprisingly" Surge" just stick to one v ones " Khalon" but hey you got a new song or whats up , you sound little off or maybe its the connection" Surge" no um... can I throw a "what if" at you?" khalon" okay sure?" Surge" what if, you were adopted your foster parents are kind loving all that jazz, but one day, while you out you come across someone in a crowd, they look similar to you , it could possibly be your mom or dad or in case kathy or knuckles,, and you learn that there might be the chance they sold you off as a child, and hearing the fact they did gleefully how would that make you feel? " Khalon"........ give a minute ( Click) " Surge" khalon?...Khalon! did he just hang up on me I-....GRRr...*sigh* who am I kidding he is just a child at heart he wouldn't be able to handle shit like this... >< I just want- suddenly a portal opened up as khalon came through standing front of her ;__; " Khalon" why don't we go for a walk holding his hand out to her

Surge" y-you don't have to baby me..." khalon" nothing wrong with being cuddled by people that "care" about you so lets go, we can talk it on the way " Surge" sighing softly as she took his hand and they walked through the portal together



angel island



surge gave a rough idea of what happened



Khalon" I can see why you would be messed up after that, but... seeing someone who could have been my mom not bothered or even willing it just, thats scary and hurtful" Surge" uhuh... " Khalon" but at the same time maybe being taken away was a good thing, because if the parents I have no, or in your case sugar got you, and she loves you and kit a whole lot doesn't she? so you got a awesome parent in the end, I think dad called it a blessing in disguise?" Surge" kicking a rock as much as I want to wrap it up and say thats true and move on, these feelings in my chest are still eating up at me like I'm just angry and hurt , and the scary part is I could have been like that if things were different... " Khalon" sometimes punching something can help get the extra stress out " Surge" I'm not exactly indestructible like you pinky" Khalon" no but your lightening makes you pretty dang fast when you want, try lapping the island, I'll wait" Surge" stretching alright I'll try something but if things catch fire you take the fall for me " khalon" you'll be fine" Surge" taing a sprinters position as her energy started to emit across her body >< .... ( BRRiizzzztttt!!) in a second surge sprinted off rushing through the fields and valley of the zones crossing mushroom hill to the murky waters and desserts , before she realized it she reached the ice cap zone, surrounded by snow and immediately rushing off a cliff with nothing to land on she ended up falling and rolling down the hill into a snowball. ending off a cliff surge burst fro mthe snow flying through the air traching familiar grounds like khalon rocky training grounds in the canyon area she quickly reached the pizzaria *



Knuckles" well it took give attempts but I did it! a chocolate cookie pizza <3 with strawberry icing " Kathy" <3 <3 <3 5 attempts it was worth it " Knuckles" ^^ " ( WHOOOSHH! ( Splat!) O O as surge rushed passed them her friction pulled the cookie up and hit kathy in the face



Kathy" peeling it off her face and taking her sunglasses off that were now covered in cream and cookie pieces ...... " Knuckles" well cherry sixth time's the charm " Kathy" whimpers Pusheen" ..* flys up to her and starts licking her face* Kathy" pusheen go away! DX "



eventually surge circled back to khalon feeling exhausted and drained from her run



Khalon" wow pretty good time you almost beat manic's record " Surge" well..*pant* it did do something* ...* pant* ..* falling on her knees* ... but still I feel frustrated maybe... maybe it just twists me that people like that exist... maybe thats what ticking me off so much, I was thinking of making a song about it but I couldn't concentrate with all these emotions in my head" Khalon" well at least you have a way to let them all out " Surge" maybe, sorry to dump this shit on you I know its stupid... " Khalon" hey don't say that, its okay, if anything I'm happy you could come to me about it and I was able to make you feel better a bit sitting next to her I know I'm not the brightest but if you need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on I can at least promise you I'll be there for that and I won't let anyone hurt you like what starline or those other people did nor will my mother for that matter XD" Surge".... mhm.. smiles softly Khalon" you want a hug?" Surge" yeah.. " khalon pulls her close to him and hugs her tightly as she leaned her head on his chest Surge" I love you " Khalon" I love you too , maybe we can grab a slice at my dad's pizza shop before you go? " Surge" I think we should avoid your dad pizza shop for the moment > >" Khalon" why's that?" Surge" call it a feeling "



returning back with sugar and the others



sugar was cheerfully in the kitchen preparing early dinner for everyone



Sugar" <3 * humming "there are no strings on me" * meanwhile kit grabbed some lemon tea from the fridge Sugar" everything alright kit?" Kit" zuzu seems to be recovering shes not seeing me as the TV anymore" Sugar" alright, well dinner will be ready shortly "

living room

Zuzu" ughhh my head is spinning why DX" Kit" I'm sorry zuzu I didn't think peppermint was that bad for you" Zuzu" neither did I chugging down the lemon tea my head is so jumbled I can't even kept my disguises up , where is surge anyway I'm surprised she not laughing at me like she always wants to..." Kit" surge wasn't feeling the best I think she went to go see khalon, I feel little bad she didn't come to me about it > >" Zuzu" she always leans on you water boy. maybe she didn't want to ware out her help, " Kit" but thats why I'm here isn't it" Zuzu" your "here" as her brother, not her emotional support , remember you got yourself a coyote girlfriend now too , she should be your priority now not that green battery " Kit" its not like I mind it " Zuzu" ....hey, whats it like?"



Kit" hm?" Zuzu" a mate, Kit" don't you guys know whats its like to have families and stuff " Zuzu" not...< < its weird with us, our kind sort of manifests themselves and we;re blanket creatures and we mimic things from other worlds thats why our species comes off like one note archetypes, " kit" so like a mom and dad? you don't have that? but stuck to mom like glue when she adopted you" Zuzu" because I know what parents are, I know what they mean to kids or other kin but experiencing that sensation first hand was foreign to me, and when gave my life protecting sugar from sonic, ahah he ripped me apart she laughed but zavok said when hatched again all I did was cry for mom, mom, mom wheres mom" over and over again thats a rare thing for us and if anything I adopted her as a mother xD " Kit" wow... is all of your kind like that " Zuzu" ehhh I can't really say we;re all a mixed bag, and its hard to hurt our feelings as well, wh y do yu think I get away with calling zomzom the worst and saying I hate him or zor just...* groans* I can't be asked"



Kit" but zazz you like alot " Zuzu" zazz comes from the same family as me, like how..uhhh... think birds and we;re both robins that kind of thing " Kit" I see you both as more pigeons but thats besides the point.. rolling his eyes " Zuzu" ha ha and your a para-social crybaby that needs his lightening bug to stay emotional stable! " Kit" glaring intensively as dark haze covered his face " Zuzu"..s-sorry I'm still working on my filter " Kit" anyway, what do you suppose happens now, if mom is working as the city mayor, and behind the scenes shes helping zavok it doesn't look like there are many threats that can go against us " Zuzu" ha! I doubt that, I've been keeping up with the blog posts no one likes mom being a defense for the zeti but then again many don't like what the freedom fighters did to me trying to get information out of me. "torturing a child how horrible DX" worse comes to worse its gonna be a civil war type of out come its gonna be glorious*she laughed* " Kit" I wouldn't say that so positively"



( kids the pork is ready~)

Zuzu" wooo! " Kit" aren't you ever full?" Zuzu" believe me learning how to impersonate takes alot more then you think "

as everyone gather to the table surge was the last one to arrive

Sugar" ahh surge welcome back " Surge" yeah , sorry I disappeared on you Sugar" thats alright, I had a feeling to went to se khalon, did everything work out?" Surge" yeah , yeah everything's cool " Sugar" thats all that matters rubbing her head ^^ ( Knocking!) o o sigh now of all times "



Surge" soooo... peppermint shit makes you drunk?" Zuzu" more or less " Surge" christmas is gonna be a fun month for you " (shut) Sugar" well looks like you kids will have a night to yourselves soon" Surge" whys that?" Sugar"killer has invited me for a masquerade party " Surge" but if shes you, isn;t that just inviting yourself" Sugar' well... kind of but not... its complicated " but never the less it will give you give you kids the chance to work without me and hopefully you can entertain yourselves while I 'm away xD " Surge" I wonder if kathy will get invited too" Sugar" I have a strong feeling she will~ "





some days later

back in mobius

as actually stop in metal city, west side of future city



Nova" come on dad you can do it " Sky" look don't rush me its jsut.. been a while since I got on this, as sky did a heel click and activated the gear boots Whooaa...ahhh.. geee! struggling to keep his balance eventually he was able to stand up right thanks to nova holding his hands Sky" I swear this is horrible , I should be teaching you not the other way around ><" Nova" well you wanted to use skates now instead of the board, so you just have to adjust get your balance " Sky" groans or maybe I'll just get my old gear and we can have a nice cruise around the city" Nova" its old. outdated. you need to upgrade and stop putting it off. and you wouldn't even be doing this if mom didn't force you out of the kingdom to relax" Sky" I'm just doign my job as a king why is that such a bad thing! " Nova" dad, you winch at the idea of others spending money, money thats not ourselves and mom is scared your gonna turn into jack , given what she threatened you with also proves her point "



flashback

Blaze" I've had it. I'm pulling rank now, your taking this next month off away from work " Sky" I have meetings set with the other kingdoms DX " Blaze" thats what we have wild and slice for, including jack, you don't need to be present for absolutely everything, your going to take it easy whither you like it or not , I don't even care if you decide to focus on your training more " Sky" I don't know why you want me to be so lax if I have things to do I have things to do its all that it is! why don't you just tend to snowfall or something " Blaze" and sit back and watch you turn into a workoholic? absolutely not. if your a king its high time you started acting like one and giving out orders rather then filling them. " Sky" but I have " Blaze" yeah one or two, when yo uhavea booked fill day none the less, this is why your never relax anymore its work work work constantly, your out of balance , something you use to tell me back in the day " Sky" well sometimes things just change... itsn ot like like it either ' Blaze" and thats why I'm forcing you to stop, give it a month to break away from this stoic life style you made for yourself, spend time with nova, go hang out with the guys or even visit your master , or maybe we can mess around , i jsut don't want to see a side of you gone because of this forced work load you put on yourself, your not a dog on a leash anymore rubbing his cheek



Sky" .............* face palming*,,,,I'm 35 years old you shouldn't, have to talk to me like a child" Blaze" there is nothing wrong with a alittle reminder of who we are, you want respect like wildfire, you don't see him here and there , hes at home, he takes a few calls, meetings and he goes about his day, you need to adopt the same structure a king and queen orchestrates. not participates " Sky" well don't expect me to be lazy " Blaze" you get my point " Sky" fine fine but I'm not giving it a limit I don't know about a month ..." Blaze" at least enough time to break this work cycle and if I catch you falling back into the same routine, I'm going ot take 10% the treasury and fund the Dinosaur wildlife preservation center you were against, as well as the sea life one " Sky" you can't DX kathy is already doing that " Blaze" yes with kathys help its due to be done in 4 years, at most, what if I turned that 4 into a year? she crossed her arms firmly Sky" ears drop..... " Blaze" I'm the queen I do what I like ~ "



end



Nova" woudl it really be that much?" Sky" just to give you an idea, I the sol spirit mech project cost 20 mil over the span of a few months and its already seeing the fruit of that projects, the school funding took 10 and the scholarships are already footing the bills , even though I wanted ito be free flare fought me on that > > , the wildlife preservation centers both of them getting done in less a year? would cost 60 million" Nova" why!?" Sky" preserving certain species from going extinct, finding and catching wildlife , landscaping, getting help from scale-ra to gather the fish, defenses against the dinosaurs on dinosaur island. time money and people to pay and your mother just s wants to ... " Nova" maybe shes right. you do need to relax, you do so much, when was the last time we hung out like this? Sky" well we did go on that snowboarding trip at blizzard peaks " Nova" that was 2 years ago" Sky" wha!?" that felt so recent. well we ...um.. you helped me showcase the beast untis at the military presentation " Nova" I wouldn't call that bonding that just felt like work and training and me tryign to look likea princess to the others > >;;

Sky" we attending board meetings" Nova" work" Sky" you traveled to mobius with me when I saw sally " Nova" also work" Sky" we took the family vacation to see lilac in avalice " Nova" one shopping trip and stuff happened with lilac >w> I spend most time with niyako, and you jumped on the idea to bring him here " Sky" but I wanted to cause he was a nice fit for you, also yeah I remember , you got mistaken for another princess, that was funny >w> " Nova" the point is, mom is right you are always on work mode, I don't mind training any time we can learn about our reaper heritage I'm all for it but, you need to learn to live again not be a busy bee the guards joke when they find you in the kitchen with he chefs " Sky" i like to cook okay" Nova" well maybe not at home, " sky" sigh alright you made your point I have been trying too hard and maybe in the wrong way... "



Nova" I use to tell hinote when she would beat herself up if a song sucked and she'd have to start again, "be kind to yourself" and honestly I wouldn't mind us spending some time together and its good we put a stop to this now cause I'm sure snowfall is gonna want to be taught by his dad, I dont' think hes gonna be a mama's girl like me Sky" to be fair I'm hoping.. "



*nova walked up to him taking his hands forcing him to start moving*

Nova" now consider this a start to getting back in the rhythm of things" Sky" whoaa.. eheh..* after a few moments muscle memory was starting to kick in as he was slowly cruising along with nova* hey I think I'm getting back into it xD " Nova see there you go XD " Sky "eheh... but to be fair I'm sure you'd rather be doing other things then spending time with your old dad xD"



Nova" ..... "

thinking about what she could be doing

Nova" niyako~ " Niyako" hm?" Nova" now that my mom isn't using you as a punching bag, I was wondering..." Niyako" getting alittle hooked are we?" Nova" just 5 minutes <3 next scene niyako was spending time pleasuring her ahhh ahhh <3 <3 *

end

Nova" shaking her head ... I'm sure niyako is getting tired me being around all the time anyway

Sky" he better not be. if he expects to be with you in future* he laughed* " Nova" don't be mean" Sky" ahahah can't help it l3 " Nova" come on the trial period for those shakes are nearly up, lets too ka lap around the block and see if there good fit for you , try and keep up "old man" hahaha " as she raced on ahead* Sky" you'll regret that just saying as he picked up his pace chasing her down*



in passing sonic and shadow saw them race by



Sonic" aww how adorable alittle father and daughter time, maybe you can ruby can start making play dates " Shadow" play dates like you with your kids?" Sonic" come on we're hanging out right now, I can step away for a millisecond or two " Shadow" but whos counting those miliseconds" Sonic" hey kathy ain't the only one who can be at two places at once okay she can lazy and teleport I can put in the extra work and keep track of time " Shadow" really... I never seen someone try so hard to piss off people needlessly" Sonic" its call taking a joke, if I can stomach an entire play putting my dirty laundry on display, I'm sure she can handle a few pot shots at her every once in a while, " Shadow" is it wrong to call you a narcissist? " Sonic" is it wrong to call you an egoist? " Shadow" I at least can admit when I have an ego but I don't belittle others close to me " Sonic" sure buddy you had your moments lets not deny , but rouge and omega seem to be helping you improve and even sally to a lesser extent shrugs , but in all seriousness I think

you-know-who would be proud of you ^w* " Shadow" ....* sighs softly taking a swig of a soda* I only do what I know would right for the world, for her , and I know there are still plenty who don't see eye to eye with me, , but being the ultimate life form isn't without its trials "



Sonic" true *Bing!* suddenly sonic heard who phone go off Text(Sally)" where are you?" Sonic" looks like duty calls , also one more comment on kathy, I'm sure if sky wasn't such a milf hunter he would roast her alot more himself xD " Shadow" PFffffthhhh!! > <" Sonic" later! Shadow" coughing ...I swear to chaos.... calls rouge " Rouge" hey big boy~ <3 thought you were having that meet up with vector?" Shadow" I am, hes running late, so I was greeted b y sonic's holy presence..." Rouge" oh? you don't sound too happy about it either " Shadow" I think I need my ears bleached "





inside the shopping district



Sally" where is he? why didn't he-" (Voosh!) Sonic" hey kids just did little window shopping myself xD" Sally" you could at least warn us before you disappear like that" Sonic" hey I'm like kathy just a simple call away xD" Sally" your amazing* rolling her eyes* Sonic" hmm I know I am but your more wrapping his arm around her waist Sally" nuzzles his cheek Sonia" hey mom look * sonia pointed out a new bakery coming soon the sign wasn't present but judging from th e design and fixtures it was a bakery" Sally" another bakery? but we have 3 scattered across the district already " Sonic" tsk, whats one more, you think it belongs to kathy?" Sally" I doubt it, shes very reserve with her locations, " Sonia" not really, every city has at least two, two in mobius, two in albion , two in bingo highway " Sonic" shes closed those down, after she learned breezie was stealing her recipes, Sally" well be it breezie or not I wasn't fond of excessive product placement

crossing her arms " Sonic" pastry talk aside, sonia didn't you say you were looking for something?" Sonia" yes, data was looking for some specialized circuit boards that was hard to find, so I thought I would check the computer stories here in metal city but then you vanished. and manic got sidetracked by nova and now I don't know where he is XP "



Sonic" heh well that's problem but hey manic never goes too far, Sally" if we find the toy store will find him "



else where manic was indeed near the toy store but squarely for there video game section and as he was getting excited for a new gaming pad, suddenly his training methods started dawning on him, picking up his feet and seeing how scuffed his shoes were



Manic" aghhh...I need to stay focused! I'm here for new shoes DX not gaming stuff walking away

( maybe mom and dad were right I'm letting the titles eat at me alittle too much, I need to just be myself, I'm me, not my dad even if we do share the same level of speed , but then again sonia does too, but shes not like me I'm the only trying to be a hero , if anything khalon would be a better sparring partner but I had my fits with nova, ugh ) can I not just let this garbage go! >< suddenly in the corner of his eye he spotted a poster on a wall hm? whats this? Poster" he will return" turning the poster over it had eggman's logo on it Sally" there you are" Manic" !? " Sonia" we were looking for you , luckily your not hard to predict " Manic" ha ha very funny" Sonic" what are you holding?" Manic" this was a poser I saw , first time I've seen it " Sonia" ...he will return" Sally" oh not these again... Sonic" oookay first time I'm out of the loop :/ " Sally" there nothing but conspiracy junkies , believing that eggman will come back one day, in some shape or form and we have best be ready for it " Sonia" what makes them say this" Sally" T T nothing, no sightings, no evidence, no proof. nothing but sheer tinfoil hat nonsense balling up the poster before throwing it away and it makes my fur crawl because I feel it insults all of the hard work we did to get rid of him, I'll be damned before we go through that again, especially for you kids "



Sonic" hey take it easy, sometimes folks just want to have there tall tales and ghost stories, mysteries they want to solve and sometimes there not based on anything but pure fantasy" Sally" more like nightmare fuel if you ask me" Manic" well thats why I work hard to be there nightmare" Sonia" aren't you still going through your training arc " Manic" mmmm XP I still need a new pair of shoes " Sonic" ?!* snapping his fingers* thats what I was doing before I sidetracked by shadow , I was scanning the shops for show sales for you " Sally" like father like son " Sonic" and I think I deliver well on my word- so come on lets get you a new pair of street sleeks " as sonic raced off and manic followed straight after leaving sally and sonia



Sonia" street sleeks? what does that even mean?!" Sally" I fear your father may be turning into

those men that still try to appear young hip and trendy " Sonia" he doesn't really have to but I think hes trying too hard Dx Sally" I pray he doesn't have a midlife crisis " Sonia" you had to grow up fast , all you did but dad never really seemed bothered, like he always got to do what he wanted meanwhile for you it always felt the opposite , if anyone has a right to have one its you T T " Sally" I get your point sonia but its not really the compliment that you think it is. passing by a glass window sally took a glance at her reflection seeing the bags under her eyes however you aren't wrong, " Sonia" just like sky, nova complains he acts like hes in his retirement years when hes not , and neither are you, if there was something you wanted to do what would it be?" Sally" heheh.. as sweet as that is to say sonia I have what I wanted finally, my kingdom is safe and I have you and your brother, I couldn't want for anything else brushing sonia's head " Sonia" hmm okay >w> but are you sure there's not one thing? Sally"... brushing her muzzle as she looking away in thought. suddenly in the corner of her eye there was a hover cycle lot selling new bikes >w>,,,, well I suppose if there was one thing I never got in indulge in during a field mission a hover cycle I use to ride got destroyed and I was never able to have to replaced, but now, maybe now I might have that chance , so while don't we take some test runs while the guys are busy~ she smirked

Sonia" now that sounds like something good~ "





at one of the shoe stores ,



manic was already looking through different show styles and kinds , from regular sneakers to full on athletic shoes nothing was setting right for him , even some that were insprised by sonic's own shoes*



Manic" come on there has to be something here that fits me " Sonic" hey if something speaks to you we can always try another store " Manic" but that would have made it 3 already I don't like just running it trying 10 different pairs then up and leaving " Sonic" alright sport well what kind of foot wear were you looking for?" Manic " hmmm holding up another fresh pair in front of him I guess something that says "hey that looks like something he'd wear" I know its dumb but thats all I got" Sonic" nothing is ever dumb when it comes to setting a style , will keep looking ^^ giving him a peace sign with a smirk Manic " ehe okay , let s try them, pointing to a aisle that said strong and sturdy* * that should be good for what I'm doing right now "



while inside the shop, nova and sky were steadily racing by but sky halted and backed up as he noticed sky and manic from outside the door window with even the store clerk helping in there search, nova quickly rushed back as well



Nova" why'd you stop?" Sky" I thought I saw things but now its sonic and manic, they must be show shopping " Nova" huh, couldn't they have ordered a custom pair like you did for me?" Sky" maybe they didn't want to come of f as the rich man type and try to support the locals " Nova" rolling her eyes you can do the same just by ordering from the local providers, remember you were wanted to get a caterer for my birthday?" Sky" yes I shouldn't have said anything I had to turn down like 10 different offers and they were all good DX " Nova" but lets leave them be, you know what happens when you and sonic get in the same room > > plus we're still looking ourselves " Sky" alright as nova raced on waiting for ky to catch up, he took one last look before catching up to nova*



* eventually manic did settle on a pair a three color pair, white being the main, blue laces, with a ting of red around the base. as manic put them on running a job around the store they felt convertible enough and fitting a style he was searching for " Sonic" do we have a winner?" Manic" I'd think so xD but there is still one more test " Sonic" !? oh yeah, um lets pay for them first before you well give that a try ^^: " Clerk' well e do have extra padding and pairs that were resistant to weather conditions" Sonic" well my son is on a different beat xD, so will buy it "



sonic not wanting to be rude purchased the pair first then as manic headed outside he already locked int oa sprinting stance and started running in place starting himself up for a spin dash as he kept going and going until his fur turned red then in a second he raced off leavinga scorched streak of fir eon the ground Clerk" ahh.. I see why you wanted a short pair but there not indestructible DX " Sonic" see why I paid first " Clerk " may I recommend show brands they may be more... up your ally TwT "

meanwhiel as manic was rushing through the streets tryign to make a circle back to the shop

( we cut to might and knuckles( julie-su's knuckles) talking with mighty while parked near him was a new car with bow on it *

Mighty" so she always wanted it? I always through she was a cyclist?" Knuckles" you think so right? but no shes been leaning more into a stylish car lately, lara-su is one the who wants a bike easily maneuverable while julie-su just wants to show off " Mighty" kids and there toys am I right? " Knuckles" the kids toys you can manage and say "oh I'll get it for you r birthday" or "will see " but your wife? its hard to say no to " Mighty" plenty do it , otherwise they call you hen pecked " Knuckles" maybe but we all deserve a reward at some point in our lives especially those thats always there for you -w- " Mighty" your just to o nice" Knuckles" yeah I know I am, I'm too good even for me "



(Foowwwshhhh!!) Mighty" you hear something fly by? Knuckles" I know I heard something,,, ( CLANK!) suddenly the car was sliced in half as both sides fell apart with along the edges that was cut



Knuckles" MY CAR!!! DX " Mighty" sooo... uhhh legion car insurance am I right? >w> " Knuckles" play back pass footage"



knuckles robotic eye could play back pass footage of images it had just seen , playing and back and slowing it down he saw it was manic, as he grit his teeth slamming his fist down so hard he crack ed the cafe table they were standing at

Knuckles" MANNNNNIC!!! Mighty" o o;;; well um this is was great, but I think the kitty cat is calling so I'll catch you later (Whooosh) making himself ghost



* after makinga full round trip manic game back surprised to see the shoes with stood his test run"



Manic" holy crap they actually held up XD " Sonic" can;t way the same for the street though seeing the scorch mark Manic" well eheh comes with speed a I right Sonic" heh sort of but next time we should run tests where city damage is reduced " Manic" right ears lowered ....?? is that ca flying or falling? as he looked up in the air and saw a car falling towards them*



Sonic" definitely falling! sonic grabbed manic as he dodged the car as it hit the ground like a case of bricks ( SMASH!!) what the heck1? " then knuckles walked onto the scene sonic noticed the car that was thrown was a legion police car* Sonic" yo knuckle head what the heck was that??" Knuckles" you owe me a new car!" Sonic" hey its not my problem you start throwing cars for no reason" Knuckles" not that one! your son: while running a speed test, Sliced through julie-su's new car like butter! Manic" ohhh...I knew I hit something ><;; Knuckles" yeah you did, so I'm expecting some compensation and MAY-BE I wont write up your son causing property damage" Sonic" you mean like you just now? I thught you finally learned to control your emotions, Knuckles" still same old same old, shaking his head" Sonic" love you too knucklehead, and besides why should I pay you back when you launched a car at my kid? not really feeling like I owe you much when I can report you for police brutality crossing his arms Knuckles" first off I wasn't aiming for him , I was aiming for you second this conflict started from him leaving a charcoal lane in the streets! " Manic" I'm sorry knuckles it won't happen again ;w; " Knuckles"* sighing as he looked away*... knowing he can't hold a grudge against a kid " Sonic" look redhead a car isn't going to break the bank but tossing them like toys where someone can get hurt isn't exactly something I can let go T T , considering you could have hit manic!" Knuckles" gritting his teeth you know sonic? I am a VERY patient man, this hasn't been the first time, remember the badnik robbery? him and tails tried to stop them manic used a first hydrant to floor the road and stop them yes it worked but flooded the streets and water wasted... " Manic" to be fair it was a hot day "

Knuckles" robian street gang incidents, one time some how a gas station got blown up " Manic" why would you rob a fuel tanker and crash it into a gas station to run me down :/ Knuckles" your kid is reckless , he has your talent but hes lacking grace hes a good kid but needs more structure" something you never had " Sonic" wel lat least I'm you know encouraging instead of forcing my daughter to prove herself time and time again to be the guardian " Knuckles" I just want her to be ready" Sonic" sounds more like someone doesn't want to let go l3" Knuckles" you are one to talk he hissed " Sonic" os how about this, I'll get your car replaced if you apologize for your outburst, I think that's fair " Knuckles" my action is a response to your son destroying my wife's anniversary gift!! I'm the victim here! " Sonic" eheheh well then he said sorry , not more can be said " Knuckles" .....You are completely- (Vosshhh!) suddenly a note appeared in his hand...?! reading it ....* suddenly he took a deep breathe* look manic I know it was an accident just next time be more careful when in the city, promise? " Manic" promise! ' as knuckles picked up the car with one hand and walked away Manic" I wonder what was the note" Sonic" I got one good guess " (Vosh!) suddenly another note appeared for him in his hand



Kathy" your ass is grass later " Sonic" ( come on kathy this was a old spat I was just egging him on like we use to do , I would have got the car replaced ) ( Vosh) Kathy" IT DOESN'T CHANGE THE FACT YOU MADE A BAD EXAMPLE IN FRONT OF MANIC YOU JUST GRAAHHHH! (Foowshshh!) suddenly the note itself burned up in flames Sonic" o o; " ( Vosh) Kathy" look, I don't want to be nasty, I don't want to be a banshee, and I won't cause grief for sally, will just have a nice calming talk about parenting...okay? thats all I want ^^ with the last few letters becoming scorched into the paper as well as you having your midlife crisis " Sonic" who said I'm having a crisis " Kathy" I did XP "



Manic" well at least I got the shoes, I wonder how mom and sonia are doing"



meanwhile testing out another hover cycle testing it out on main road she di da akira sliding stop, before taking her helmet off



Sally" ahah I still got it XD " Sonia" I never knew you just as extreme as sonic " Sally" well when I'm given the chance xD " Seller" well your highness I trust you found the right pick" Sally" hmmm... if you have this in emerald green its a sale " Seller" I think that won't be a problem ^w^ " Sonia" wonder if manic found his shoes " suddenly saw saw knuckles carrying the car cut in half Sally" knuckles?" Knuckles "hey sally, um its better you don't know " Sonia" o o; "









moving along, the family met back up together and to end off there day they stopped by a restaurant to grab some food , however sally quickly noticed manics enthusiasm was completely zapped



as the waiter arrived with a small appetizer, a platter chilidogs for everyone share



Sonic" and the pleasantries have arrived xD" Sonia" ever thing the chili might be little too much dad?" Sonic" hey I'm keeping them as a treat lately I don't have them as often " Sonia" just saying > >, but anything left over manic will finish" Manic"....... huh.. oh yeah... " Sally" are you alright manic you've been quiet since we arrived " Manic" I.. I just messed up and did something bad but,," Sonic" come on manic its no biggie , knuckles always make a mountain out of a mole hill, it was only a accident so don't let it get to you patting him on the back Manic" its not even knuckles its you! knocking his hand away Sonic" !? " Manic" !! I'm sorry , I'm sorry I need some air >< as he had tears welling in his eyes as he left Sonic" manic!.... sigh " Sally" sonic.. " Sonic" I don't get it we mess with knuckles on more then one occasion, manic said he was sorry and kathy: even though she didn't have to made him calm down why does manic feel so guilty " Sonia" maybe its because- " Sally" let me sonia, sonic you've always took things very lightheartedly this was a very consistent trait for you, and I believe manic might not share that same nature, I've started to notice hes more grounded like me in some areas. and with him wanting to apologize for what he did, your antagonism toward s knuckles; even if it was for fun might have left him a bit embarrassed. " Sonic" well if it was anyone else I would have knuckled down and apologized greatly for the problem , and I let manic know it was bad what happened and he apologized " Sally" yes but you always throwing shade at knuckles I think he felt it was undermined, and even know, he loves you but its things like this that make him conflicted, I'm sure he really doesn't want to dislike the things you do, but he doesn't want to be known as a hero that laughs at every conflict " Sonic"....... sighing softly, he get up from the table in search for him Sonia" I hope this doesn't go wrong..." Sally" sonic was never one for drama and family matters are no different, so I think it makes him uncomfortable but a the very least he tries to be a good father "



turning outside manic was sitting by the window with some people walking by him he over heard some dismissive voices

( isn't that the prince? he looks little upset/ maybe he got stood up by a date, but plenty fish in the sea right? / he has plenty to pick from / yeah him and his father/ ahahahahah~!



Sonic" hey sport. you feeling alright?" Manic".... I'm just.. I hate the fact I messed up badly, I don' want knuckles to be mad at me" Sonic" knuckles isn't mad at you, you didn't mean for what happened to happen, sitting down next to him Manic" fro mhow he sounded it didn't feel that way... " Sonic" look if anything I should be sorry, I was so bus y trying to egg him on for a fight, I was being a dirt bag because I would always have fun messing with him and I used your accident an excuse to get on his nerves. I'm sorry I really did a bad thing back there , something you shouldn't do , I know I may not be the best example to follow but I should at least admit by faults when I do... "



Manic" < <... you know I think a lot of people are expecting me to be like you, I mean I don't mind the hero part thats why I'm training to keep up with others, but the jerk side of you they also believe I'm going to be, or even player, heck I 've never even had a girlfriend yet, its not fair as tears filled his eyes everyone looks like I want to be a playboy.. Sonic" ahaha I doubt you'll be a playboy XD but sure you'll have some bad takes but don't let them stop you from choosing your own path " Manic" choosing my own path.. then I want to.. I want to make it up to knuckle s for what I did, to honestly show I'm sorry.. and not just hiding behind you " Sonic"... look manic thats all good an all but, lets not forget the "one" thing I wasn't joking about... he threw a police car towards us , he could have hurt you and I couldn't take that lightly" Manic" he was upset he had his reasons " Sonic" just because you have a reason doesn't make it right, some folks take there frustrations out on there friends or loved ones, yeah they have a reason but that doesn't make it right does it? " Manic" no... "



Sonic" exactly " Manic" but still " Sonic"... > > * biting his lip as she ran his fingers through his quills* sigh alright.. alright will go talk to knuckles and maybe he'll have a solution and he'll have something you can do to pay back for the car" Manic" okay wiping his eyes Sonic" but, are you embarrassed by me in any way?" Manic" not really but right now with knuckles I felt like I was getting shielded from you know..something I really did wrong , and then I thought to stuff some kids use to say about me and then it was like " oh crap there right , I'm a spoil prince who hides hind his parents" >< Sonic" ohhh...I get it now" Manic" .... if I'm not a spoiled prince I'm the class clown , if I'm not that I'm falling behind everyone else , am I not allowed to just be a hero on my own? Sonic".... grabbing his hand you are a hero manic and the only one that can effect that is you, never mind what others say, and as for your friends, you go at your own pace , its not a race , you have to show the path you want this isn't a competition an d you got your friends, you got your sister and you have me and sally you can go at your own pace and whatever you need we're here he smiled softly Manic" okay sighing a bit of relief, sonic gave him a quick hug Sonic" so come on lets enjoy some good food and will talk to knucklehead tomorrow when he's cooled off " Manic" okay * he smiled softly* as manic headed back inside

Sonic" I hope this was to your satisfaction kathy, I can parent too you know" ( vosh) a note appeared with a thumbs up and a check mark I'm good father l3 " (vosh) another note dropped by your decent but at least your learning"

back inside the restaurant

looking at one of the other table s we found lein-dand jack with vanolo having there own family outing

Lein-da" ....* checking messages on her phone* hmm " Jack" something up" Lein-da" just a message from my sister, she said knuckles came home a bit out of sorts but he seems to be fine, a but of conflict with manic , says he sliced a car he was going gift my sister in half " Jack" my thats a certainly...something" Vanolo " was it an accident?" Lein-da" she says it was however this was something he was looking forward to doing" Jack" well I'm sure sonic can make it up to him some kind of way" Lein-da" > > speaking off as she noticed them across the way Vanolo" what are the odds " Lein-da" in my case very high, but then again fate seems to be cheat when you have kathy in your pocket" Jack" what she would expect you to be here at the same time as him ?" Lein-da" shes not that good but sometimes I question, never the less the last couple of weeks I've noticed manic showing signs of potential without sonic's heavy handed hippie influence he could be something great, he just needs the right hand on his shoulder she smiled softly Vanolo" are you gonna do the same training you gave me > >" Lein-da" if he'll allow me , maybe" Vanolo" .... > >" Lein-da" but don't take it negatively vanolo I'm just offering some services if he wants it, I'm still proud of the efforts you've been making especially with khalon behind your back "



Vanolo " heh thank and love you " Lein-da" I love you too sweetie always " Jack" drinking his coffee ( I wonder what made her so fearful of pushing vanolo away? Kathy" it wasn't her being afraid of pushing him away, she didn't want her son to be scared of women because of her dominatrix persona " ) o o... ( Kathy" something I'm sure your enjoying every night ) .... slightly irritated but trying to keep a same face ( I get it kathy I get it.. ) "





surprisingly everyone outing went by without further problems as everyone was taking there leave



Sonia" so then I got a call from ashley the other day, talking about the musical shes interested in then suddenly kiara comes at me mentioning the same thing, sometimes I wondered if our tastes are starting to get to be too..samey " Manic" I think you should only worry if your tastes are starting to be come like the masses, and lets be honest ashleys taste in music is more bland then kathys taste in romance " Sally" careful manic she did direct the musical after all" Manic" I know but if oyu want my opinion she should have used more instrumental from Zettermen instead of the orchestral from Dill dolphin , just saying"

( for example its like saying the instrumentals from beauty and the beast were better then using the timeless classic of Mozart as her foundation for some of the scenes ) "



Sonia" to be far block head your not exactly a music expert TwT " Manic" its just a personal taste "



Sonic" XD maybe jsut stick to old fashion rock how about that~ " Sally" your both terrible thats "my" opinion she chuckled playing along " catching them as they were leaving

Jack" are you feeling willing?" Lein-da" in some ways kathy has rubbed off and I take my chance when potential is visible" as she approached them from behind



Lein-da" sonic, sonic! " Sonic"?! huh lein-da what a surprise I'd catch you here? and with the family n o less " Lein-da" yes well, we had such perfect timing , we had a dinning session nearly perfect to yours " Manic" hey vanolo xD" Vanolo" hi waves " Sonic" so what can I do you for?" Lein-da" well I couldn't help but over here your conversation a little with manic when it came to his abilities and I recently heard to the mishap with knuckles. so I was thinking, maybe you wouldn't mind giving me a chance to train the boy myself she gave a soft smirk I am a combat specialist after all and maybe I can help give your son the structure he needs" " Sonic" hehe, thanks but no thanks lein-da I've heard the stories from knuckles how you brow beat the cabets, I got enough trough with two red echidna's already, and I don't need to complete the holy trinity and adding you to the mix " Jack" ( thats... kind of racist ).... :/ " Lein-da" the boy has potential to be something powerful, possibly even more then you surely you want him in the right hands? " Sonic" yeah "my" hands everyone wants to write me off like a bad father but I can handle my own sun, besides how many of you know how to handle high speed like me, I can only think of one and thats me" Jack" you aren't the only one with high speed abilities sonic " Sonic" mina is the only other I know who has what I do, and even shes not that great "



Lein-da" it all boils down to time and practice, and your relatively busy aren't you? and this new red form of his is something new even for you isn't it? but I'm familiar with other forms of energy. I even was a proctor for lara-su during her exam I know my stuff " Sonic" yes miss whiplash I'm sure you do, but again thanks for the offer but I can handle it " Manic" training with lein-da how would that be?" Vanolo" shes not bad, she helped me get control and learn how to fight pretty quickly >w> " Sonia" everyone says shes scary vanolo and you even sound little timid yourself " Vanolo" well believe me I am better then before but.. to be honest my mom just has this tone . and way of speech when she directs, its very commanding and when shes pleased you know it, and when shes disappointed you "really" know it his ears folded back ;w;... asshe quickly shaking off past thoughts thats why she had me learn under khalon, until she learned to soften up a bit which she did he smiled softly Manic" hmmm shes still scary though" Sonia" manic! "



Lein-da" would you at least see if he would be interested in the idea , and from the things I've seen and heard, its a matter of control hes having trouble with and that I can help " Sonic" thanks lein-da but I can handle it myself " Jack" is it me sonic or do you sound worried that everyone does everything better then you, even raising your own children, " Sonic" I'd say thats you" Jack" no one can cover all the bases , sky even himself even admits some levels of sword hes not good at, and I think he could improve on but he lets his swordsmanship slip to focus on his reaper talents which to be fair may be the front move given his lineage , I don't want to sound critical but- " Sonic" if I want your opinion I will ask for it but manic doesn't need help that he can simply get from me, okay? ^^ trying to keep a smile present as his fist was balled up

Lein-da" ( looks like bringing sky up touched a nerve )....-w- alright but my offer remains open if manic chooses to do so , come vanolo we're leaving" Vanolo bye guys " Sonia" try to come to the chat room we don't see you enough " Vanolo" I'll try as they walked away lein-da wrapped her arm around vanolo



Jack" you weren't too ruffled be his comments were you?" Lein-da" Id be lying if I said no, but that's how he is, seeing how you came into the picture I would think you were bothered " Jack" of course , he called you miss whiplash "



Sally" are you alright sonic? you seemed like you were getting alittle heated " Sonic" haw I'm all good xD its just people should you know give me a shot, no one knows speed like me and I'm pretty sure I can help manic get control of it , hes already made enough progress with what he has now accidents aside I think hes doing leaps and bounds ^^" Sally" but the incident with knuckles how will you handle that? " Sonic" > >; if I had to take my best guess, knucklehead will have lara-su be a trainer for manic, so I'll humor him let lara have him for a week and we go back how we ran things" Sally" you sound so sure" Sonic" I know him, thats what he'll do I'm sure of it "



Sally" if you say so holding his hand tightly oh by the way I finally bought myself a new hover cycle ^^ Sonic" huh!? "



meanwhile



Knuckles home*

Julie-su" he sliced the car in half?? " Knuckles" yes, I feel guilty kathy is willing to fit the bill and have it replaced cause chaos knows sonic isn't going to*crossing his arms*" Julie=su" well I'm sur e insurance can cover it but you know I'm still not sure about putting manic through the wringer" Knuckles" if anything manic is a good kid, he has alot going for him, and sonic will spoil it , but the right guidance and help he'll be the best of the best and maybe he'll outclass his own dad " Lara-su" what are you gonna do?. I'm busy with my own job as guardian, your don't' have patience for him so whats left shrugs" Knuckles" I'm sure your auntie, will have some ideas to give him what he needs" Julie-su"?! your going to give that boy to the mercy of my half-sister I'd rather you go ask kathy" Knuckles" kathy has done more then enough - - I don't want to bother her besides she deals with the other kids already" Lara-su" whats one more she wouldn't mind" Knuckles" one week with lein-da will be plenty " Julie-su" and if sonic refuses?" Knuckles" he won't know, it will be our little secret, at least once I convince manic the benefits he'll get from her training, I mean look at vanolo " Julie-su" you sure this isn't just a form a payback towards sonic and not help for manic?" Knuckles" can't it be both?" Julie-su/Lara-su" Dad!/Honey! " Knuckles" alright! alright! I'm not going to force the boy into anything, but the truth remains, he wants to improve and hes wants to come into his own, personally I don't think sonic understands that mindset, even though he'll deny it, but that what happens when you are given everything with no struggle " Lara-su" feels like yesterday I was baby sitting the little acorns and now look >w>" Julie-su" time flys doesn't it " Knuckles" now if you'll excuse me I have to go car shopping again " as knuckles walked outside suddenly he was greeted wiht the same car that was sliced in half fully restored with a bow on it



Knuckles" what the!? o o Julie-su" what is it- Ohh! OwO " Knuckles" umm well happy anniversary! " Julie-su" as she walked up the car seeing the note "for my wife, <3 knuckles" I'm gonna take a wild guess and say this was the car he sliced in half?" Knuckles" sigh yes, and kathy also helped fully restored out of the kindness of her heart " Julie-su" well one thing is for sure, shes too much of a giver and your too much as she kisses him passionately <3 " looking down on the license plate it read Knux-su*

to be con

as sora was replaced a bench member everyone resumed there positions waiting for the green light



Nova" you really think they can make this win?" Niyako" looks pretty even both ways right now, I'm not sure , even from here magnika looks little nervous " Nova" no shes not nervous shes antsy, and I think after getting her teammate benched from that strike I'm sure she not really happy " Kiara" course not now shes look for revenge " Surge" eheh her and the bird look like they wantot kill each other looks like today this really will become a blood sport XD " Khalon" surge" no thats my aunt your talking about DX "



else where

high albion office

fro mthe main office Shade-ix was watching the game as well

Shade-ix" so how do you have your money on? " Lein-da" I never was one for sports, let alone hoverball " Shade-ix" entertainment brings people together and see the twilight guardians rise through the ranks this past month has made alot of ways on the cyberlinks, if this goes well we might be on the verge of having a home brewed sports team XD " Lein-da" well we will see which way the hands of faith lead, ( and especially after kathy's mass investment a day before) > > "



returning to the field, magnika and tempest took there places as the ball was centered tempest's feathers ruffled as the sound off came ( HOOOKKK) within less then a second she boosted to nab the ball first but magnika had the same idea and she was just a second sooner she grabbed it rushing down the field but quickly tempest made a U turn using her talons to drift across the dirt then rushed chasing her down

Magnika" ( I'm wide open I'm surprised the others haven't made there move yet to steal ) ... suddenly she checked behind her and the shadow of a falcon with its wings spread out aped her as she went into a corkscrew spin rushing her creating this whirlwind of force completely knocking magnika away and the ball free and clear for her to take. wsting no time , tempest took the ball and quickly rushed back towards the other goal, jsut as magnika recovered in the air and making up for lost ground



as tempest was making her way down field , Jewel was rushing to cut her off Jewel" ya think we just sit by and shoot the breezie you got some brains missing~ as she rushed into steal but luna cut hero ff getting in between cutting her off Jewel " pillow girl!? Luna" when she runs solo we apply resistance so she can make her shot " Jewel" aha ha ha thats cute we can do that too, as she rushed towards magnika Luna" ?!!" Jewel" MAGNIKA TIME FOR SOME TARGET PRACTICE" Magnika" huh!? * suddenly using her tail she grabbed magnika then as she went into a spin using her boosters for speed she launched mangika across the field passing everyone



Magnika" Alittle warning next TIMMMMMEEEEEEE!!! " as everyone was stunned by the acts being preformed by the teams, magnika regained her self as she boosted herself towards tempest and was able to dive towards her kicking the ball away from her but not having any of that she boosted herself ahead fanning her wings trying to hinder her vision, but magnika inacting a break dancing round house she hooked the ball back and sent it back the other way leaving another team member free to grab it a dark red echidna that quickly sprinted towards the enemy goal , while luna tried her hardest to catch up to them but suddenly she kicked the ball on in the air and jumped into the air with it, as it was in the air she started juggling the ball on her head bouncing it as she kept it going, Luna rushed him to steal the ball but then she le the ball drop suddenly then spinning and with a heel kick keeping the ball bouncing while in that second morgana rushed in herself to steal it but she kicked the ball up high at a moments notice forcing her to miss her tail as well *



( ladies and gentlemen I don't know what to call this but whatever it is it is working, they jsut can't get the ball away from her XD )



Qween-li " sometimes goofy plays are the most unexpected " Jewel" aHahahah Nice work lassy! as qween-li passed the ball towards jewel she rushed the goal to go in for a shot but in a second tempest was already behind her like a ghost Jewel" !?!? taking her shot prematurely the goalie stopped it , the, as they kicked it back tempest grabbed the ball midair but magnika was right there napping the ball from here then dripping the tossing adn turning kicking it higher adn higher the y were both fighing for control of the ball



Tempest" you have my respects magnika your team aas been the best match I've played through out this entire tourney you have my respects, however there can only be one at the top, and the falon always flies highest! * as she reached the field high limit hovering above magnika gripping the ball between her feet*



Magnika" And nothing is beyond the TWILIGHT!!! using her boosts she wentinto a spin and slammed her head against the ball with her head knocking it straight out her grip towards the goal leaning the finishing Goal jsut as the timer hit 0:00



( GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLL!!!!!!!!) everyone yelled in excitement



Kathy" YES!!!" Khalon" Yeaahhh YAHHHHHH!! " Silver" Way ta good Magika!!! "



hearing the cheers echoed through the stadium as a dark shadow covered her eyes a small smirked appeared on her face , as she suddenly started to fall out of the sky with blood dripping from her head



Magnika" ><.... = =...* suddenly as she regained her conscious she saw silver had caught her in the air before she hit the ground* silver..?" Silver" hey blueberry~ good work out there " Magnika" did we win?" Silver" what do you think? having her see there team name in lights across the field Magnika" ......* as tears quickly filled her eyes as she smiled* we did it...heh we did it as she cried softly ;w; Silver" you did great magnika you all did " Magnika" yeah..yeah... passes out " Silver" leans his head against her get some rest you earned it "



Luna" she headbutted a metal ball for the winning shot " Morgana" that was hardcore" Tempest" hmm -w- I guess it is true, you can't win them all, and someone new is always hatching crossing her arms





suddenly magnika wakes up



looking around, she found herself in a medical bed , no was was around. crawling out, she walked to the hallway



Magnika" hello?, anyone? hellloooo walking to what appeared to be a lobby, again it was empty, then at her feet was a news post Jet blazers remain undefeated* wha? but... but I thought we won!? silver? , kathy? we won right? turning around she ran back to the door way then suddenly she was at her house , looking around it looks like decorations were partly put up and festivites that were stopped halfway, magnika went inside mom?"

Hearthe" oh your home, how are you feeling" Magnika" we won't the game didn't we? there is nay we lost" Heartha" it was a near miss dear , but you can't way you didn't try we;re all still poud of you" Magnika" no.. no no this a joke!

Mhmm..hmmm!! cupping her mouth ><!!; still quickly grabbed her trash can as she immediately vomited ,coughing and wheezing which quickly turning to whaling crys



Silver"..........* sitting beside her he wrapped his arms around her burying her face in his chest* ( its okay.. you earned this... you r greatest achievement , your name will go down in history )

I'm nothing special" Silver" blueberry don't think that way your amazing you always were" Magnika" hugging the pillow as she looked down Silver" everyone looks at me and says I come up short all the time , but I fight for everyone else, lets be real if I didn't' have these abilities, I would be just a nobody, probably even a loser " Magnika" ;w; ?! no your such a good boy when you stop being a naive little twit you can be a badass when you want to " Silver" well I try " Magnika" I know you can, you just need alittle focus and your golden pokes his nose, and look at you , you watched all my games, you were there for me, you kept your promise you were always great silver and..

some time after



the party was getting underway as more and more guest showed up as well as magnika's team, teams were setup outside the house as food was being served to guest by kiara and khalon and tumble, mean while inside magnika jsut came down stairs dressed and ready, still with a banadge wrapped on her head



Silver" you feel okay to stand?" Magnika" yeah, yeah I'll be alright I can't stay bed ridden forever - -, plus if my team is here to see me they want to see me suddenly the scents of the dishes prepare d started to grab her attention did mom make fruit custard tarts o o " Kathy" only my my request cause I knew you loved them huggles her tightly Magnika" hey kathy xD" Kathy" congragulations on your big win ^w^ " Magnika" thank you sorry I wasn't awake for your first photo" Kathy" oh don't worry abut it there will be plenty more come on everyone is waiting including the rival team " Magnika" huh??" as they walked outside, tempest was talking with sora and tumble , it was scene sora was talking with crutches as her foot was in a cast

Sora" well I can a least move it but the doctor said I should keep pressure off it , for a while , it should be healed in like 2 weeks I'll be back to normal " Magnika" well maybe kathy could heal for you, you shouldn't have to go at long ;w; " Kathy" well uhhh...

Tempest" also alittle request from your sister* tossingher a hoverball with her name signed on it Magnika" .. a signed hoverball ;w; " Tempest" something to tell the kids one day, take it easy , you earned it as she walked off Magnika" thank you ;A; !

Magnika" thanks khalon I kind of thought I lost for a moment I'm glad to know it was only my own fears" Khalon" aww but why you were doing so good " Magnika " I don't know maybe this only experience I realized I'm not good at handling pressure like kathy can" Kathy" who said I can :/ " Magnika" kathy you take care of more animals then there are people in the village, you soft look after all the kids, you help in times crisis , you cook meals, you make sure many are safe , I heard your gonna be headmaster at a school, Kathy" okay that last one its still up in the air, it was just a rumor >w> trying to play it down " Magnika" your just built differently and maybe I'm softer then I thought " Silver" that doesn't mean you still don't have your thorns " Magnika" x3 " Sora" now speaking of, come on the other girls want to get a good picture with you and the trophy <3 " Khalon" by the way sora can you do the thing I wanted you to do XD" Sora" ughhh your not going to leave me me alone until l do it will you shorty " Khalon" I just want it done once " Sora "fine but after the group picture" Khalon" yay!

Heartha" everyone sure is having a good time X3 " Silver" oh um heartha could I speak to you for a moment?"" Heartha" of course dear , come in side it will be alittle less commotion " as kathy saw heartha and silver walk back inside Kathy" what could he want to talk to her about it?"

Heartha" expanding the the business in your time o o ?? " Silver" yeah, basically I can't help but having to return to my own time eventually, but if I have two and if me and magnika ever moved in together I wondered about where and well I still have my work there she has you all here and the nit hit me, lets having a bridging flower shop, with your help we could create a flower shot across time, and you have access to different plants from the future to have here, and we can tell rare types there, its a winning formula, and the flower shop will be me and magnika's to run ^^ " Heartha" >w> well I can't lie it is a tempting idea, plus all the different flowers from your era I'll never get to see in my life time at my finger tips -w- Silver" I haven't asked her about this yet , but I knew I would sort of need help " heartha" that is for sure, you may know your way around a garden shed but you still have no green thumb, but I can help you with that ^^ " Silver" -thank you" Heartha" no, thank you, silver I will be honest I had my doubts about you in the beginning but after seeing all that I have this past month, I think you'll be just fine for magnika she smiled softly Silver" thank you that means alot Heartha" but first things first, we have a wedding to start planning for you both~ as she looked out the window seeing everyone



out side you saw sora was holding a watermelon between her thighs squezzing it until it cracked khalon" cheering and laughing XDD " Tumble" hiding his face >///////< " Sora"

>///>; " heartha" there all a lovely bunch aren't they~" Silver" I'd say so, Heartha" now come on , kathy didn't have me slave in the kitchen for that food to go uneaten " Silver" sure "







now returning to the future

we rejoin melantha and rabbi



Melantha" I don't know rabbi it still feels weird > >" Rabbi" trust me you already know it by heart you got this ~ " Melantha" >< sighing softly alright as she walked up to the counter let me have a queen fish deluxe leading the school, a singing oyster cow on the meadow 6 stars in the garage, light oil touch up by the camp fire and let it dry. " Cashier" so thats a double fish and chips platter, extra sauce, grilled fish no sauce, one double burger extra cheese no onions light sauce" Melantha" o o yes! Cashier" is there for here or two go" Rabbi" baby basket and two large drinks" Cashier " $33.50 " Melantha" I can't believe I got it right ;w; " Rabbi" pays see I told you you could do it XD, and you got everything down perfectly* hug her tightly* Melantha" XD " Rabi" plus purage would have been our cheat sheet anyway " Melantha" still I try to make an effort"



zooming out we see killer watching both of them through a portal in the castle living room



Killer" sigh you know... I try to be lenient , I consider myself very patient easy going by today's standards but seeing so much joy in my girls eyes from behind able to memorize fast food lingo from her pudding brained boyfriend, makes me feel like I went wrong somewhere... " Mephlies" don't be so harsh, its all in good fun, Killer" "fun" would be if she pretend to open an arcade and have some kids come in and test out the games only for the arcade machines to turn into purage and eat the kids , "that" would be fun this...is pure nonsense sinking into her seat as she rubbed her eyes tiresomely Mephlies" melantha has been working hard training rabbi and perfecting her skill using the shadows, I think she deserves alittle nonsense here and there wouldn't you say? it gives the days where she takes after you more meaning and the days shes more like the mortals some sense purpose, its a form of a balance I believe " Killer" balance... sure" Mephlies" and besides rabbi still wants to best you along with his sister I look forwards to the day they challenge you for real " Killer" same here, I'll be returning to the chaos stream by the time there ready she sighed



Starline" your so critical sometimes I wonder if your like this on purpose or are you simply antagonistic for the sake of it " Killer" if you don't like my commentary your free to go back in

your cage, duck " Starline" I have plans with jinx thank ou very much, and specking of plans I know I keep quiet but I may be on the verse of a solution to your little light gaia problem " Killer" ??" Starline" and its only thanks to your daughter helping me with testing " Mephlies" the watcher did not have anything to do with it has he?" Starline" no but he has played his part I will have to admit, Killer" I'd rather not speak of them at all..." Starline" I will admit as fascinated as I am with there research when it comes to elements of light and dark, they appear to be more calculus and cold when it comes to development , I remember when I was of that nature " Killer" mhm~ I remember the days you thought you would be able to one up me and get away, you were so adorable~ " Starline" groans...then ironically it was your own daughter treating me like a uncle that softened me up" Killer"... turning her head " Starline" but my main point is, the girl doesn't have to be the spitting image of you, let the girl be a bit silly if she wants, if gives hr her own flare, instead of being a carbon copy of you taking his leave



Killer" ......... sigh" Mephlies" I'm surprised you let him have the last word because he is not wrong, even when I saved melantha that one time from that stupid ninja cat,, before she snapped out of it she was blank.. like starline said a carbon copy of me , that was one of the only times I felt scared I lost her " Mephlies" mhm as the mortals say, the mind is everything" Killer" hehe I guess you could say I put my heart and soul into her and I would hate to lose all that effort" Mephlies" we have no need to fear my love the more we learn the more our short comings will be non existent * having his hand on her shoulder"



suddenly hexvail entered the room looking little nervous

Hexvail" uhhh killer, there's someone here to see you?" Killer" I'm not expecting anyone just kill them an call it a day " Hexvail" I would have but I can't, he uses a chaos energy and hes a fucking mammoth, he said he wants ot talk to you" Killer" a mammoth....!?! jumping to her feet no way.."



entering the castle lobby was mogul dressed in his standard ware looking partly aged but still fairly youthful



Mogul" ahh empress it is lovely to be grassed by your presence " Killer" spare me your fluff elephant, why are you here" Mogul " for one wished to have an audience with you to discuss our current places on the game board so to speak " Killer" go on.. " Mogul" I've been watching you for a while now, seeing you mature and grow, the power and presence you've made for yourself, and from one Godly figure to another I believe we may be able to assist each other in our goals " Mephlies" I remember you mogul, what could you possibly do for us , considering your back and forth with the freedom fighters proves you fall short , even with your power " Mogul" well the freedom fighters are not present in this time now are they? I understand I use to be very ambitious tyrannical at worst omnipotent at best , I am a patient man I've waited for that blasted hedgehog to lose to the passage of time while I still remain in my prime, however other factors began to play in ways I had not expected, hence I decided to teach and train that boy you forever are butting heads with" Hexvail" wait a minute! you taught silver?! "



Mogul" how else would he be so powerful? and yet there is not a single soul like him else where " Killer" powerful and yet he keeps losing to cannon fodder' Mogul" the only thing stopping him from becoming an unstoppable force of nature is his own immaturity , but he is not of my concern right now, and I believe our interests may a line " Killer" and why would you say that " Mogul" the light gaia hunters pose a threat to me as well no matter what oletta tells you she is not someone to be trusted, Killer" like your any better ? " Mogul" well unlike her hoping you win you over with kind words and peaceful semantics, I think it would be better putting my money where my mouth is, or in your face my heart suddenly as he extended his hand out he genereated a chaos sphere and with in a chaos staff was formed a golden rod with a black diamond crystal at the head and a clear sphere at the bottom



Hexvail" ohhhh" Killer" what is this?" Mogul" a chaos staff of my design, much more powerful then that staff you got from that old wizard, with this you could easily extend your reach beyond the zones, have a stronger method to hide your presence, and more importantly you would have a stronger immunity to light energy and it would carry over to your offspring or whoever you choose " Killer" ?!... - - and whats the catch " Mogul" you provide me with services and I will do the same on your behalf," Killer" - -,,,,, I've had my fill being someones lap dog, or being bothered with vermin who think they own me, and you would be no different. dark chaos and light chaos go hand an hand, the controller is the one who either unifies or controls the chaos , I've reached a stage where I'd rather be on my own she glared



Mogul" fair but given the players on the board can you afford to keep your facade of a all powerful killer, an empress if you will, when you nearly lost your daughter to a sickness you really had no means to cure her of it. " Killer"............" Mogul" I came here not as a means of control, I've done that party trick before, but mutual alliances seems to work better in the long term, you grant me services when need be and I will grant you mine , you have my word " Mephlies" and how can we trust you on that " Mogul" - - sometimes taking a risk is all you can do" in that moment the sphere with he staff vanished as it hovered towards killer Mogul" take it a sign of my trust, your free to use it for the day, the power will returned to be by down rise or it could be permanently yours " Killer" how about I just use it to kill you then what? " Mogul" would that benefit you in the short or long term in anyway" Mogul" the enemy of my enemy miss killer , although my favorite is, the friend I pretend to be enemies with, " Killer" touch'e



as killer grabbed the staff suddenly she immediately felt the massive jump in her power, as her eyes glowed fora moment her dress became more vibrant, her chains dissolved into energy and reformed into a makeshift jewelry around her next and shoulders , even her serpents appeared only this time they were free and flew around hr like like flying snakes



meanwhile

Kathy" so then I told him he had to convince hi m to try the snails to ( Voosshhh!!) O O suddenly kathy's body lit up for a moment with chaos energy whaa.. what the.. holding her head knuckles" you okay cherry?! what was that??" Kathy" I.. don't know.. I feel like I got injected with a jolt of energy ><; Knuckles" from where though?" Kathy" I think I got a idea , now the only question is why"

back



Killer" holy.. hell... this power... I haven't felt this good in years" Mogul" its to your liking I can see" Killer" ..?!..* ahem* its... certainly a boost for sure > > " Mogul" consider this a trial run , you can give your answer tomorrow , I'm pretty sure the watcher wouldn't be able to talk the way he did if you had what you have now back then " Killer"...." Mogul" good day to you all as he took his leave

(Hisss! Hiiisssss) as the serpents hissed at one another as the y hovered around killer

Hexvail"....so if me and brother fight you are you gonna just one shot us or will you give us a fighting chance " Killer" I ... need some time to think "





right after kathy sat to herself outside in the garden with her "new" staff in hand as her thoughts were running away with her and trying to compose her



Killer" alright , who the hell "wouldn't want this" never mind the design, I'm everything I normally do with maybe a 10th of the effort , but mogul, why would he show up now, what does he thing he can do, win me over because he knows I would be a threat to him? I've always been a you leave me alone I'll leave you alone kind of monster , but his.. this will definitely throw me back in the circle instead of the sidelines& she smirked to herself* but look who I'm working with,, a chaos deity, obviously he wants me to- "



Kathy" ( Killer!) Killer" !? " Kathy what did you do!? what are you doing" Killer" ( what do you mean pinky ) " Kathy" out of no where I get a power boost to the point everything I'm doing feels like I'm doing nothing, what the hell is happening on your end ??" Killer " sorry sugarbutt I'm weighting some pros and cons right now I'll explain later " Kathy" killer-) ........." Killer" sigh... ( wait.. normally we're all guilty of listening on each others thoughts but with this new upgrade we can block out our sisters o o we can have private thoughts again?? as she cupped her muzzle tapping her foot passively this is really good it really is... but sigh why would he want of me , the only reason I could consider this is because one hes not like the echidnas whos main motivation was absolute control an dominance mogul always saw himself as a god wanting to rule asa god of chaos creating the realm in his own image , but sonic and them manage to stop him at every turn. So he waited until they all died out, and even if the power of chaos is endless the mortal body is not and it shows, his body is aging and he in waning and he knows that, ...?! he could use my power to keep himself young to keep up his plans, that would be a good reason, he serves to protect me from the like of the light gaia and those demon hunters while for him he gets his youth in return, it really is a win win.



suddenly her serpents hovered around her as he looked at her curiously



Killer" its been a while since I've given two any time of day, holding her hand out they nuzzled her hand as one did the other pushed him away and hissed as it hissed back as if they were fighting for her affection too bad my extra power doesn't help your idiocy as she brushed both of them as she chuckled softly ( on top of that I was long over due for a new staff and I could get the castle done in half the time, maybe hold a party? ha! not hardly thats kathy's thing ) so lets weight our options, on one side, huge power boost, more defenses against those light demon hunters, and I kept my title as the baddest bitch on the totem pole. but on the other hand, I do give services to mogul and if anything I would at his beck and call and he could use this as a threat if I go against him, turning me into his lap dog, but more or less our goals a line equally at points, and hes trained silver he does have some form of a limit I'm sure hers not eternal like he wants to believe. but then there is that finally line... " oletta is not to be trusted".... shes my opposite... she believe we work to keep the balance of light and dark, I keep balance to the light while she balance to the dark, but what equates to balance? when is it too much, when it is enough or too little ( Mogul" I would prefer friends I pretend to be enemies with" ) Killer" it has to be her and the hunters hes worried about, and working with me would give him a better chance..."



standing to her feet



Killer" alright mogul I'll bite but you have to play my way <3 * as she suddenly created a new jar with chaos them design with his name on it "



Mephlies" finished collecting your thoughts my love" Killer" well I believe I have a firm idea of his goals and when I visit him tomorrow I will have a lovely discussion about our future partnership~ I must say I am entertained by the new wardrobe" Killer" ^w^ beautiful isn't it I feel 20 years younger~ and all thanks to that upgrade and I could give give you the taste as well " as she let a mist emit from her hands around him as mephlies inhaled it as he exhaled in a satisfying form of relief Mephlies" oh this... I remember this feeling" Mephlies" what does it remind you of?" Mephlies" the first day we met, as he walked up to her the day scourge caused that prison break and my first thought was to see you again locked away in that prison cell, , you thought I was a fool freeing you from your cage holding her hands he started to slow dance with her you laughed and you danced you song and mocked, knowing nothing about me just as I knew nothing of you, and you slit me head thinking you had sniffed out my life " Killer" mhm , and then this appeared in front of me, a monster with no form or heart like me thirsty for dark energy" Mephlies" and your tasted as sweet as it could be, better then any nectar stronger then any wine, a taste I wanted all to myself brushing his hands on her cheeks" Killer" blushing lightly as she traced a smile on his muzzle why not give me a smile dear ~ as her traced line suddenly opened up a mouth on his face



Mephlies" as you wish my love as he moved in kissing her passionately wrapping his arms around her waist



(ba-da-da-dum click click ba-da-da-dum click click! ) as of them turned there heads seeing rabbi at the doorway



Rabbi" sorry to interrupt this lovely scene but the food has arrived~" Killer" thank you rabbi why don't you introduce ripe and tear to the others, " Rabbi" rip and tear?" suddenly the serpents appeared hovering in front him to two eels in the water Killer" my serpent babies are now fully sentient why don't you get antiquated with the babies <3 Rabbi" oh ^w^ " as they hissed and growled towards him ohhhhh ^w^;;;; (RAahhhh!) AHHHHHHHhhh! as they chanced him down you could hear him fighting them in the halls ohhh Geewww Ow Stop Ahhh No biting OW! STOP! ( Bang! Bang!) Get off!! AHhhh! "



Killer" lovely music to add to the air doesn't it~ X3 " Mephlies" you melantha won't be happy" Killer" oh he'll live now where were we? as she kissed him passionately <3





the following day



* killer found herself traveling to a sky rise building on the south side of the city, far from the usual places shes visits, it looked closed down on the outside but upon inside there was much commotion and activity, keeping her mobian appearance like normal one of the robots quickly approached her "



Worker" miss is there something we can help you with? " Killer" yes, I'm here for an appointment with your boss?" as he opened up a tablet scanning for a names even thought he never gave her a name Killer"?? " Worker" right this way, " Killer" okay, interesting.."



killer was immediately taken to al elevator and was told to head to the top floor and there she would be seen

Killer" having a beautiful view of the city from the glass view everyone seems to be so business orientated these days, there is nothing wrong with keeping things alittle old school you know"



reaching the top office the room was vast like a entire living quarters on one floor fine carpet, 5 star kitchen with a robot servant waiting on call, living room and and bad room off to the side while in front of her was a the main desk and there sat the man in question*



Mogul" your earlier then I expected" Killer" I thought everyone enjoyed morning appointments " Mogul" it varies from person to person, so how have you been enjoying your new power , has it made a difference for you?" Killer" I would be lying if I said no, I've nearly completed the final touches on my castle, I've given myself a new outfit I can block my annoying sister out of my head and I feel fresh as a daisy " Mogul" and the elephant in the room? " Killer" ....* turning her head* the jury is still out on that, however I cannot deny the strength in protection and resistance , is something even I can feel, but my question comes as this, why is it through you I feel this stronger immunity rather then on my own " Mogul" because miss killer, you are dark chaos incarnate , I use chaos in its purest form, I have more options. more advantages a creature of fire can not feel bad for losing against its natural element however it can have defenses against it "



Killer" yes well... metaphors aside before we talk about the main reason I'm here I had a question I wanted to ask. briefly you mentioned oletta could not be trusted what do you know about her?" as mogul turned away from the window facing her instead Mogul " firstly what was the things she told you? " Killer" oletta said she was a figure that seeks balance between the light and dark, she could envelop alot of dark energy, even something that could overwhelm even me, she said she didn't understand the power herself , personally I think she was scared of it , scared of what she is , but fear and the unknown breeds many things. being married to aura-sno she seeks to keep his mission alive by keeping the world of light in check and darkness in check as well, given the fact she married a reaper thats no surprise, she only warned me that if anyone of her side came after me it would be of there own accord and not under her name so I would be free to kill them as such " Mogul" did you ever dare to think to challenge her? Killer" ....* balling her fist*..*sigh* no I didn't I felt it was a fight I wouldn't win "



Mogul" you were wise not to, she would have wiped you in a second, the truth about oletta is that she is like you only on the opposite side " Killer" a soul infused to light chaos energy?" Mogul" yes, although it was not perfect, seeing she still had attachments to dark chaos elements, was there anything odd about her when she expressed her power to you?" Killer well her eyes could change colors from yellow to green to black, and changing to black she got this third eye on her back that was the biggest scare for me. her power jumped to something I could only match in my super form" Mogul" as I feared, the only thing saving us from her wraith is the fact she does not know her origins and her husband showing the ways of keeping balance to all things may be saving us in the end , a blessing in disguise as they would say" Killer" coming from a self proclaimed God of chaos you sound worried, its almost laughable " Mogul" every force has its own realm killer , even the realm of chaos, jsut as the forces of Dark gaia and light gaia, * as energy started to fill the room he suddenly put on displayed a visual representation to the powers that be"



Mogul" just like the food chain we all stand somewhere on it showing a pyramid graph speaking from bottom to top starting from the lowest you have the mortal realm, second you have elemental's beings able to use the natural forces and bend them to there will, then you have chaos wielders beings such as you and I, using the power of chaos we can manifest changing the world on dime if we choose then , you have Reapers servants to the higher tiers with in the realms of light that seem to protect those on the lower graph, then demons, realms some may not even touch or even dream of getting close to, " Killer" that's just a theory" Mogul" of course it is not finite, however it does get messy when you have being intermingling with everyone on the graph, for example your friend poison, who is a son of a demon himself, Killer" !? how did you-" Mogul" you can not hide from me my dear, all things chaos I know ashe eyes glowed a brought green with energy showing off around him



Killer" alright with all that being said who should we be most concerned about, and who should we start killing off " Mogul" in sighting a conflict among the higher grades is fruitless, believe me I've ran through plan after plan myself - - the graphic works not as a food chain but a check list, the angels at the top with the reapers= " Killer" alright alright look enough! I don't need a point for point idea of where we stand on the grand scheme of things, and on top of that elements of other deities and God exist not just you or even me for that matter. point is everyone has a boss I get it. " Mogul" then you understand the threat oletta poses to me " Killer " tsk,, poses to you? , the only threat here is yourself. chaos energy is powerful, but it comes at a cost , it drains your life force , you've tried staving it off for as long as you could and time is catching up to you, eventually the power will turn you to dust, I will say your a master of the art but you are not immune to the side effects , and thats why you came to me, you want me to restore your youth to keep up this game"



Mogul"..........." staying quiet he stood from his seat as he walked towards the window looking out to the city your more perceptive then I imagined* Killer" time comes for all of us , even I have a expiration date, why do you think I want my daughter to take over when I'm gone~ " Mogul" what do you think my purpose was with silver?" killer" what you wanted him to bea junior version of you? Ha! I doubt he'll ever..." Mogul" true silver is far from match t he ideals I share, however his growth in power and control is almost prodigy level the only thing stopping him from becoming a master at this level is his overestimation of his abilities , he willingly holds himself back believing he will hurt others " Killer" yeah, I can see that " Mogul" but believe we've lost sight of the real reason for our meeting" Killer" right, so I'll give you my offer, for the staff, and my energy to keep you from becoming a display case at a museum, immunity to light energy and I get your heart" Mogul" .... to add to your collection I assume T T" Killer" exactly, and on top of that its only so you don't try to pull a fast one on me, because for all its worth, I believe your points and why your concerned, but that does not mean I trust you, Mogul" and why should I trust you not to kill me and take my power for yourself " Killer" one thing your silver's teacher if you ended up dead , he would be on my ass again and I'm sick of him at my doorstep as it is. second killing you might set off some alarms for oletta herself so I suppose I have to play smart, I'm only covering my bases, plus this will benefit you as well, unless your heart is damaged you cannot be killed, think of me as your second life in a way~ Mogul" hmmm... " Killer" grins <3 Mogul" alright you have a deal " Killer" wonderful* dropping a cloak over the jar she had for him then waving her hand like a magician and in that second she had it * Mogul" ?! " Killer" don't worry I know how operate painlessly , I usually just don't~ and i suppose you want your end "



as suddenly chaos energy started ot coat him completely as the signs of age began to diminish it was not obvious to the naked eye but to himself he felt stronger then ever as he stood out from his desk, in that moment he started to preform acts of tai chi and slamming his fist down n the ground a wave of energy burst through out room



Killer" how do you feel old man~ " Mogul" good, it feels good he nodded " Killer" so where do we go from here?" Mogul " well I suppose as I've said before the hunters are still out there, and with our new untold partnership I believe a task of head hunting of our own is in order, Killer" going after that owl?" Mogul" patience we don't want to be too obvious lets watch for them to search for us, then we start picking them off like flys " Killer" to be fair I'm not 100% working like this" Mogul" there is no shame in taking what you need to hold your position and sometimes we have to swallow our pride in order to do so - -" Killer" hmm true I suppose" Mogul" and one more thing, suddenly he created an chain mace handing to killer



Mogul" a little something for your daughter " Killer" swinging it suddenly it extended like a paddle ball as it quickly retracted I'm sure she'll love it~ "









After the meeting killer gathered her thoughts on her way back home taking in the arrangement she just made with mogul*



Killer " ( am I really nervous about this? at the end of the say I have more of the head at play not him, its more in my favor? ....or is is really as he said my own pride of needing help from others instead of obtaining it on my own... have I really just had it easy for so long? cause I don't think so, I've have plenty of times I fought tooth and nail. Well... probably more then I should have had to. never the less whats done is done, now I can finish the castle, and establish myself as the empress of this city ) "



feeling more confident in her stride walking pass the living room suddenly her head snapped back as she quickly saw her serpents inside a cage made out of crystal, specifically melantha's after words she went to the dinning room finding the rest o f the family enjoying lunch, as everyone was gathered it was noticeable rabbi was bandaged up and patched up from scratches and bites



Killer" why are my babies in a cage? " Melantha" because they wanted to use rabbi as a chew toy and I wasn't going to let them, anytime they have a go at him its time out in the cage " Killer" melantha I let them, there mine " Melantha" and rabbi is mine, I won't let everyone have there way with him anymore , I know you don't like him but I don't want him bloody anymore for laughs " Rabbi" you know I told her it was okay but she was still pissed > >" Killer" ...( the teenage years are finally setting in ) sigh fine fair enough I figured eventually you would put your put foot down against my antics " Starline" your more chill then I imagined you'd be" Killer" I've had a busy morning with mogul and given my new boost in power because of it , I'm feeling a little generous and forgiving. suddenly she gave melantha the mace" also a gift from that elephant " Melantha" a new mace? o o " Killer" forged with chaos energy, I'm sure you'll be able to be alittle creative with it " Jinx" a boost in power is that the cause for the new dress?" Killer" you could say that, on top of that, since the castle is going to be finished in a shorter amount of time now, I had a bit of an idea looking towards mephlies* seeing our " image" hinges on being wealth investors for this city and putting fund into the freedom fighter organization, I thought maybe we could hold a gathering for the top dogs, a bit of a masquerade party something a bit old school, and classic, it would be an easy way to hide things in plan sight and possibly even get some dirt on some of the hounds in town she chuckled, cutting up napkin to make it look like a mask Rabbi" ohhh a party I've seen those on two it usually only five minutes before someone gets murdered " Starline" I would admit seeing you dressed up would be a sight my love " Jinx" well it could be something fun maybe" Hexvail " I've never been for fancy parties but if its killer I'm for it " Killer" because I do things differently, now the only question is should we install a ballroom or have a backyard garden party? >w> " Rabbi" I vote garden, you can control plants right? you can freely convert the landscape to whatever you need on a dime instead of one big circle " Killer " might be the smartest thing you've ever said ~ Rabbi" grins " Melantha" rolling her eyes !? mom! what if.. "they" try to sneak in?" Killer" well thanks to my little agreement we have stronger defenses and power against them, and if anything it would be a fine test, and I promise you as she suddenly engulfed melantha in her energy (Voosshshhhh!) as the energy was quickly absorbed into her* Killer" I'm not letting certain events happen twice " Mandarin" oh she gets an upgrade but not us?" Killer " T T zaps both mandarin and hexvail happy?" Hexvail" I would hug you but I know you don't like hugs ;w; " Killer" = = " Starline" so how soon can we expect to hold this event" Killer" it won't be too long now love can you assist me in the decorations, you always hada more keen eye for it then me " Mephlies" of course "



as they walked in tthe backyard

Mephlies" was everything alright with mogul you seemed little bothered in your voice" Killer" sigh I know its only true what mogul said, its my own pride of needed helping, even if I did get the better end of the deal its the idea of needing help, when I was riding high for so long " Mephlies" nothing ever stays the same, even if we wish for it " Killer" true - - now let me know what you think?

(thud!) suddenly she stomped her staff into the ground and as the ground started to shake and turn the roots of the trees and began to rip up the landscape, along with other foliage, they were walking on there roots to different places as if the forest itself was playing musical chairs, creating a centralized location where you have bushes dividing up the area from an eatery to a dancing square and possibly one for musical entertainment the trees also served as blockage from "other" parts of the castle hiding elements not to be seen



Killer" ?? " Mephlies" hmmm now we just need alittle dress up as mephlies placed his hand against the tree a dark decay started to over take it as if it was poisoned as spikes began to emerge from its bark then adding on killer created a chain that went from one tree branch to the other to start hanging lights, as mephlies had his bats start hovering giving a dark decor to the trees Killer" oh its beautiful already ;w; "



Starline" Ahem! " Mephlies&Killer" !? Starline" I think you are forgetting something very important this is a Maverick's and Killa-su's masquerade party! not killer and mephlies T T

and neither of you are being very subtle " Mephlies" ....." Killer" >///> okay will tone it down a bit " Mephlies" I'm sure a few color changes here and there and no one will know the difference" Starline" yeah, like from purple to red... "



Killer" well will have plenty of time to make it perfect after all we have all the time at our finger tips~ "



to be con.

as dinner time approached everyone was gathered in the dinning room which was fairly larger then expected , certain individuals had dedicated seats , one for guests and one for family members the table had a red cloth, and several plate s on display with candles stationed to be lit if needed Kaspian" my oh my this decor seems rather extra, I hope this isn't because of me "



Victor" not at all, we always have the dinning room dressed to a standard, " Snow" we normal had it kind of averge but ever since we started having surprise visits from other "families" we decided we would not be caught off guard again ^^ " Reia" whispers to kaspian some rivaling clans tried to use our lazy like home decor as a way to make us look bad and my father wasn't having none of that, even the men had a dressed up table for themselves " Kaspian" I see, having his hand close to his chin" Snow" now then I'll just get the food ready and we can start to chow down~" Johnny" shouldn't the lackies be bringing us the food not your wife?" Brass" why are you even here you don't even need to eat?" Johnny" its called a formality darling, we have to keep up perfect profile for the family " Brass" calling me darling again, and I'll turn you into a water gun set for the chao back home she growled* " Cello" lets not not to get violent Victor" of course today is very special day for one thing we are here to welcome you joining scourge pirates, that is already making waves the Royal Diamonds " Kaspian" I thought it was the royal pirates?" Victor" Scourge likes to add pirates to the title so he tends to shorten it , I can not say I'm a fan though T T" Scourge" no offense victor but its just for the seas , cause everywhere else with that name we sound like a sports team " Victor" signing as he face palms for the last time its not the name that matters its the meaning T T " Guntham" well at least he can still fit in his famous phrase " bow to your king" so at least it makes sense with the theme " Scourge" I swear you lot make it sound so childish this is a big thing " Kaspian " riiiiight....sure your not compensating?" Cello" coughing up his drink as he muffled his laugh ...truly debatable,,,x'DD Scourge" you guys are all fucking assholes T T " Reia" pats his head "



Snow" now now no language like that at the dinner table as she came back holding a total of 6 plates at once, one in each hand and two on her tail and two on her arms now I don't like to show off but how about I start giving little intro~ First we have a Egg ,beef and cheese casserole , second my personal creation fire toasted honey glazed dinner rolls, third Fried catfish with lemon chowder sauce, forth vegetable stir-fry,* fifth* and for our lovely new member to the family ~ Broiled brisket with blood flavoring " Kaspian" so tempting I can't lie XD I haven't had it since .. hell..50 years " Scourge " I forgot y'all age like snails o o" Snow" and lastly, shrimp rice rolls wrapped in thin stripes of chicken" Brass" good grief you really went out your day today o o"



Snow" well I don't thin the boys are complaining l3 seeing alex, guntham and even scourge filling there plates " Johnny" I have to say that really a good balancing act, have you done this before" Snow" well I don't like to bring it up often, but I use ot be a waitress at one of the local restaurants here in town ^^ " Brass" heh you gonna share that brisket kaspian or is that al lot your self " Kaspian" I don't think your stomach could handle it " Brass" try me- Cello" blocking her hand* actually you may not want to, blood red brisket is a literally made with fresh blood > >; its a dragon dish meaning..." Brass" o o ahhhh.. "local meat " I get you " Snow" why do you think I said it was something special" Kaspian " and why you think I said its been 50 years since I had this" Johnny" dude this feel like a cat eating at a table of mice if thats the case" Victor " ha ha ha thats one way to describe it , but as my snowy was saying and possibly leading into , she was a waitress before we got married and she worked a restaurant before hand"



flashback

Snow" my sister's husband owned the restaurant and he was kind enough to give me a job, lot of places were running skeleton crews cause of the war, so things were rather tight so I was lucky enough to grab a job -w- " even the pirates were scarying people to the point they didn't go out often, so I did what I had to , as she took a sign and hung it outside the door



"No Pirates allowed* Owner" Snow you can't do this , it will put a target on her heads " Snow" if we don't do something people won't feel safe and we won't make money to stay open I'll be the guard dog if anyone starts trouble " Owner" and you think your sister will allow it " Snow" tell her its not her choice its mine "



( Kaspian" my well didn't you pull up your boot straps* Snow" I won't lie back then I was still a little bit selling wolf tickets > >;; but I grabbed myself a nice revolver kept it hidden and I was ready if the time called for it , even thought deep down I was sweating bullets. a couple days in we had no trouble, but the day finally came some lowlifes that belonged to the black guard came in trying to make themselves comfortable, I was nice and said they had to leave then the biggest one decided to escalate shit. )



as the biggest one as she mentioned stood up towering her a great white, shark with robotic teeth looking straight like a meat grinder when he grinned , and metal arms to match



Shark"hoy what, you mean that sign outside aussie? " Snow" yes I wouldn't apppracite if you would be considerate and leave" Shark and I said no " Snow" pulling out the revolver pressing it against his nose then I'll make you" Shark" slowly he bit oo the barrel of the gun and his teeth started to spin like a saw as it grinded away the end like nothing as he spit it out beside her and how exactly are you gonna do that snakey? hm? " Snow" ........" Shark" now why don't you be a good little garden snake and fetch us some drinks "



( Snow" I was shitting bricks at the moment but.. the terrible thing about me was I am very combative even when I have nothing to show for it )



Snow" sure ^^ I'll some to go cups ready and I'll see you at the door consider it a courtesy ( Chomp) Snow" AHHHHHH!! her scream lit up the place as he bit into her arm as blood dripped on the floor Shark" I was trying to be nice dear now how about you do what your told unless ya want to lose an arm* Snow" lucky for me limbs grow back what you.. WHAT ABOUT YOU* as she took the sawed off gun and tried to stabb him in the eye but she missed only tearing his skin underneath it ( Gawwww!!, in one swing of his jaw he threw her across the way slamming into a table (Crashhh!) Snow" .....* looking at her arm the skin was shredded down to the muscle all across her hand* Shark" you want to be a hero snakey? let me show you what happens to heros in this world! starting with you! then this stupid diner ( Gusshhh!) O O;.. ..* suddenly looking down, he saw a blade through his chest, then almost in a instead his skin change d color nad his eyes changes to a blood red*



Shark"..whaa.. what the hell..." Victor" you know I like this diner I prefer it stays quiet with no pirates " in that moment he dragged him outside throwing him on the ground and as the shark tried to regain himself victor took a gun and shot him in the head killing him instantly



as snow tried to regain herself she took cloth tying up her arm

Snow"ahhh.. >< back inside victor came in and helped her up while behind them* Pirate" y-you you just killed Grinder?! do you what will happen now? " Victor" perhaps I should leave no witnesses * as he glared* jsut one look fro mhis side eye the pirates ran off are you alright" Snow"...I can't feel my arm.. but I'm fine... thank you for the help.. I.. you shouldn't have to-" Victor" heres a bit of a tip" Victor" never show them kindness pirates only see it as weakness " Snow"... holding her head down thank you "



( Snow" I felt so bad at the moment , victor then took the time to help me clean up even thought he didn't have to" Johnny" aww he liked you" Victor" of course, the egg casserole was my favor and I wasn't going to lose out on that " Scourge" so after all that why don't you have a hatred for pirates " Snow" I'll judge you individually not at a whole and well you see what happens when you cross me ^w^ " Victor" but here comes the best part of the story )



some days later

( Victor" every time I would come by, I kept an eye on her seeing her struggle using one arm to serve, so specifically I would ask for her to be my waitress just to give her an easy time " Snow" so ever day I saw him I know it would be a break day XD " Victor" but on top of that I want to show her how to handle her targets even with one hand she could be lethal and blades were better the n guns " Snow " I can even do this ~ dances a butter knife between her fingers then tosses it to her tail and back l3 " Victor" then came that special day.... "



one day as victor was at the table drinking a cup suddenly he glanced at the sea and saw a ship parked in direct view of them as a puff of smoke emerged then in that moment Victor" EVERYONE GET AWAY FROM WINDOW!! ( CRASH!!!!!!!)) the cannon fire completely destoryed half the restaurant as the smoke started to clear another shark walked in where a captains uniform as he glanced around untill he saw victor on the floor



???" Victor diamond I had a feeling it was you that killed my brother " Victor" Koika?! (core-row-ka) " Koika" I heard the news, so I had to come and greet you but first, I wanted to send a bit of a message but to my surprise you just happened to be here so I get two birds with one stone"

Victor" why here they have nothing to do with this " Koika" the waitress here gave my brother a scar so now I will scar her by burning this place down , and eye for an eye as they say , as for you its a life for a life " Victor" you damn wretch! as he tried to draw hi s sword but it was quickly kicked out of his hand " Koika" your whole crime family is wretched good to know this will be the last of you family line ( Crashh!!) suddenly rock came flying through the glass near them as glass came flying* as t he shielded himself from the flying shards of glass in that second snow tackled him to the ground *



(Victor" that moment I saw your mother flying between the shards of glass she truly looked like a angel in the snow " Scourge" an angel isn't the words I would use " Snow" sadly I didn't feel like one , I hadn't started my shift yet but when I arrived seeing place destroyed I completely lost it, ")



( Get off me! you animal! I Said Ahhh Aghhughh choking while you heard him gettign stabbed repeatedly in that moment victo rgot othis feet lookingoutside all theo ther pirates were on the ground whizzing in pain while she was busy ripping his flesh apart with a butter knife , when it was clear he was long dead victor grabbed her wrist to make her stop )



Victor" its alright..its done,," Snow " .....* tears in her eyes* .. this is my fault, if I jsut listen ed to my sister stayed quiet this never would have happened... nwo look at me... Victor" pulling her to her feet no, this was not your fault it was mine, you were jsut caught in the cross fire... you saved me by the way " Snow" sheer luck.." Victor" no, it was that fang inside you, you have something powerful, I have a propitiation for you " Snow" ...that is? Victor" will you be my wife " Snow" ....p p " Victor" the diamonds need strong women and strong women who will fight for there families and seeing you butchered him with a butter knife I say that checks out" Snow".... he kisses her passionately as she just gave in kissing hm back*



end

Snow" so after that day, I was know as part of the diamond fang family and as a wedding gifr the resturant was completely fixed up and with hidden security~ and now wiht my new position I can keep this town safe from those types of people~ " Brass" you killed a guy with a butter knife thats really... brutal " Scourge" how the fuck you kill someone wiht a butter knife " Snow" anything can be a weapon, " Johnny" I find ith ard to believe you took out all his men by yourself" Snow" my knifes are laced with toxic poison a fast acting one as well all you have to do is be knicked once and your dead " " Cello" and the res is history " Kaspian " wow thats some story " Victor " mhm and we've been together ever since -w- Brass" waht about your sister? Snwo" oh she hates it that I married into a crime family , but given the fact I killed people Idoubt anyone would look at me the same so it is what it is " Victor " and now the family continues to grow with reia and scourge" Snow" yep were already making wedding plans <3 " (Vrrrrrb) suddenly kaspian checked his phone , it was a message from darkfire ending a picture himself with marigold



Kaspian" looks like everyone as a high ho time building families , I'm starting ot feel left out xD " Snow" oh don't worry everyone has someone destined them at least thats what I like ot believe " Kaspian " last I checked Ex-dragon elites aren't big on the market, but its all good "



meanwhile



Majestica " *doodling in her teachers book writing kaspians name with hearts around it* sigh....<3



as dinner continued, everyone was having a pleasant time



Brass" I have to admit miss diamond alot of these dishes are really home hitters, its kind of upsetting keith isn't here to enjoy it " Snow" well I guess I can't take all the credit -w- some of these were his idea that sparked mine. for example lemon chowder sauce originally was a soup idea from him , but tasting it I felt it may have been too rich in spice to have on its own, so.. I took the recipe and made it thicker with some flour turning it into a sauce for the catfish ^^ " Brass" no wonder you both got along she smirked Alex" I am rather curious, where has he been? its been weeks since he stopped by" Brass" well since I decided to be the muscle to your crew, keith is filling in for me by protecting the master emerald and watching the island, eventually I will be heading back but for now things are rather quiet " Scourge" so you really are an opposite to knuckles, cause he never leaves that floating hunk of rock" Brass" well when your boyfriend can handle everything with there power of chaos, its a bit redundant to have me sitting there bench pressing rocks while he watches salivating.. "

flashback

Brass" ..110, ,111, 112, 113, 114, 115 " Keith" sitting on a picnic blanket waiting for her to finish <3w<3 " )

end

Brass" I know he loves me and its all our of innocence but please, your making me self conscious

Snow" well at least he wasn't watching you in the shower like "Some" people Victor" I told you I lost my watch in the laundry basket which was in the bathroom at the time...! -w- " Snow" sure it was XP " Reia & Cello" =w=;; " Johnny" heres a better question , what with your kids names, cello is after the instrument I get that , but what is reia suppose to mean " Victor" that was my doing Reia is short mean for Renaissance the era of musical and art culture, and adding on to that is her older brother Cello which you guessed its the musical instrument " Snow" believe it or not I am a fan of some classical music and my favorite is the Cello which carries a lot of weight in certain musical theatrics " Johnny" yeah as background aviance haha " Snow" exactly~ suddenly actually she threw a knife to her left it bounced off a display on the shelf hitting the lamp on the ceiling, aiming straight for cello who casually knocked it away with his fork as it hit another bowl aiming straight down the center of johnny's chair as it he dodged it only to watch it embed itself in the cushion head (Thawg!!) Snow" where do you think he got his aura from l3 Johnny" O o; " Cello" in the background doesn't mean I'm not involved " Johnny" ( your all crazy! )" Everyone else quick clapping* " Kaspian" I think I'm going to enjoy my new work space, XD however I do hope its no trouble I'm still a teacher at the warrior academy" Victor" oh that is no trouble, it gives us eyes everywhere, and I wouldn't want to hinder sharpening the young ones "

Kaspian" yeah and some of them do need it, I won't give any names he chuckled thinking of surge " Scourge" but why don't we dig into the meat adn potatos of this whole dinner we're having, since I love to put my best hand forwards first getting rid of captain blubber , and recruiting kaspian to my team , I say a nice icing on the cake, would be " Reia" showing her ring to victor* he proposed to me ;w; " Victor" ?!! hah well now , I knew I sensed something was going on but I couldn't put my finger on it, thats what you've been hiding from me " Reia" yes, he wanted to show his worth to you adn the family before dropping such a large bit of news " Victor" ha ha well you achieved your goal I promise that " Snow" so that means wedding plans <3 we get more of the family from the neighboring islands and- O O.....* suddenly her cheerful aura stopped on a dime* Victor" something wrong love?" Snow" n- no i just thought my sister and sigh it would be nice to see her sometimes but shes completely distance now " Victor" you cannot say you don't try its not your fault " Snow" okay I'm the wife of a crime boss , its not the worst thing in the world at least he loves me DX and I have two lovely children , shes so..ugh traditional she said bitterly



Reia" what would she have preferred" Snow" she wanted me to go school in the minatol kingdom it was to be a mineralogist , reptiles have a keen eye for identifying rocks, elements but, she refused to look at the fact, hey our house hold needed money , and I didn't have the funds to travel to another kingdom and second the fairs were astronomical because no one wants to travel with war robot shops patrolling the waters along with the pirates DX slamming her fist Victor" take it easy, deep breathes putting his hand on her shoulder Snow" sigh..plus if it was not obvious by my children's names, I have a love of art and music , don't ask me to play the piano but I enjoy it all the same - - " Kaspian" you talk of your sister being traditional but here you happy as a house wife" Snow" well, on the surface thats it looks like, but you'd be surprised what I do on my own time, I keep rather busy, I'd be more then happy to show you <3 " Victor" eating quietly Kaspian" I appreciate it but I don't want to be a home wrecker "



Snow" patting victor's shoulder next to her ohhh hes fine, don't mind his threatening aura he's happy your here with us XD" Kaspian" ( women, read the room ) > >;; I'll think about it" Scourge" nghhh... yeah thats all fun and dandy but uhh hello? getting married? wedding plans I thought this suppose to be about us " holding up reia's hand with the ring* Reia" >w>;;; " Snow" is it scourge don't be so impatient~ reaching into her pocket we already had a set of plans for the event, firstly we have a temple grounds on an island not far from the mainland, its a old Goddess shrine that was converted into a chapel a few decades ago, eggman nega wanted to destroy the island and turn it into a robot production zone but thanks to drakos forces we were able to keep it protected, on the outside will be a small music party with family and friends, to celebrate the event and then by sun down with the twilight shining on the stain glass of the temple you both will be walking the to the alter to announce your vows to the goddess " Reia" ^w^ " Kaspian" what happens to those who breake there vows "



Snow" well normal wedding don't have this , but if you announce your vows to one another undr the eyes of the Goddess, its suppose ot mean something, and if you break it, the one who breaks it is plagued by a curse, I don't know anyone who has but its all hear say" Alex" I heard someone who did, he wasa sea diver , one bad trip he got his legs bitten off by a shark " Guntham " aye thats nothing one lass was soo eager to be a revolving door one day she was caught in a house fire, half her body was scorched her fur never grew back, the husband was no better I'm afraid dropped her after the fire, died of a stroke a year later " Kaspian" for fuck sake o o;; and you guys are eager to get married under the goddess's eye if this is backlash for not being committed " Victor" well if both parties wish to renounce your vows you can, but there is a process for it to be done, and some are too ignorant to follow through on it " Johnny" I heard you have to cut your ring finger off and give it as a offering" Scourge" ?!! " Alex" I thought it was clipping your with a hole " Scourge" okay okay! look how about we change the subject! I want to be with reia and nothing will change that, I've been fucked over to many times in my life and I'm not going to screw up the one time I feel like I have something solid!... taking a deep breathe of relief Kaspian " easy there captain, no one has you on death's row "



Reia" * holding her hand as she crossed fingers with hers <3 " suddenly cello reached for the last dinner rolls but alex grabbed it first Cello " alex come on thats the last one you already had 4 " Alex" growls " Snow" no worries there still plenty in the kitchen XD "





as the dinner came to a closure everyone parted to there own tasks for the evening, scourge himself even finally picked out a sword for himself that he was admiring in the captains den. giving himself a red holster around he hip with his iconic logo see on the side



Scourge" smirks as he admired himself in the mirror hmph heh bow to the king, bitch ha ha ha ha ha~ " (knock knock) turning his head towards the door



Reia" permission to enter captain" Scourge"permission granted , so did you get that dragon his pay? " Reia" yes, due amount and not 4 times the asking price " Scourge" heh ..ehhh to be fair it was pretty stupid in the end, I'm just glad thing s worked out as it did " Reia" there wasn't a doubt in my mind, I knew once your mind was claer of your past transgressions you would pick things up quickly, all you needed was a little help getting over them " Scourge" and low and behold you were right , so what brings you here " Reia" I don't know~ do I need a reason? strolling closer to him pressing her hand against his chest johnny is swabbing the deck, brass is having a call with keith and the others were turning in for the day which leaves us" Scourge" alone wrapping his arm around her waist leaning against his desk as he pulled her against him



not much left to said reia started to take her vest off as she wrapped her arms around his neck

Reia" you know... I don't do this often but want to see a trick?" Scourge" thrill me~ " Reia" letting her tongue out she wrapped it around his neck as the very tip would tap against his lips before she would retract it like a party whistle* Scourge" hahah..I thought snakes could only do that " Reia" my grandfather on victor's side was a snake so I got it from him , as well as the high level o control with my tail without taking her eyes off him she grabbed his sword twirled it then put it back as it was" Scourge" I'm sure you were quick at pick pocketing" Reia" I have more class then that, if you have something I want , I will just be up front and take it ~" Scourge" well damn" Reia" and I want something right now~ showing her teeth* Scourge" careful not to bit it off " Reia" no promises <3 but just as she was going for his waist



( Wham!) Keith" your getting married!? Scourge&Reia" ?!!!" Scourge" Keith?!" Reia jumping back to her feet trying not look dignified with her hands in her pockets Keith what a surprise literally" Keith" I heard the news congratulations! <3 hugging them both also I heard you got yourself a new ship mate and you passed your sword exam so good for you~, adn reia darling you have to tell me what your having for a wedding garments because I have a list of outfits we could try I have something good for the season, something for the time of day, and even one used per species if you like as she thumped through his own person catalog Reia" that is all well and fine keith but my family already has plans put in motion ...> >.. did you per species " Keith" yes, mice, porcupine, gators, frog, fish, birds you'd be surprised how tailored wedding outfits are per species have you see the one for owls? . there feathers are so much a part of there person the dress is made just to show off there natural beauty " Reia" getting lost in his banter she couldn't help but look in his book o o "



Scourge" how the hell did you even find out , " Keith" brass told me, I miss my wife you know and shes been gone for days its been over 2 months now, being your ship mate and I'm... lonely ;w; I need my queen " Scourge" for fuck sake... " Keith" well I do have my own person reasons for showing up again too " Scourge" what? a sale at the beauty salon T T " Keith" no. well yes=but no, it has to do with slayer , I'm sure you noticed he's been having pretty much free range of late and I've given him some space but he completely ghosted me and I'm worried what hes planning on doing, especially after I got a very hefty ear full for kathy



(Flashback)

Keith" " Kathy" CAN YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT DAMN MONSTER HE NEARLY KILLED NOVA UNDER THE GUISE OF TRAINING AND I CANT BE THERE ALL THE TIME PLEASE DO SOMETHING BEFORE I RING HIS STUPID NECK MYSELF-"

end



Keith" so yeah , slayer is going back on the leash " crossing his arms* " Scourge" so you'll be back on the crew?" Keith "at least for the time being~, I called in a favor or two to help keep watch over the island and emerald " Scourge" but slayers staff has the emerald on it does it?" Keith" sigh he "likes" to say that but its really not its a copy of the emerald but its kind of a mobile home for mayhem he keeps her in , he just likes to sell wolf tickets " Keith" well he can sell them pretty good given his track record " Keith" mhm - - I also have to take partial blame for some of the events going on and I need to get him under control " Scourge" well sadly thats low on my to do list right now, firstly wedding is coming up and then I'll have to break another batch of new to victor after " Keith"hmmmm~ yes the babies on the way X3 " Reia" ...i-if it would be kind of you keith to keep the children a secret > > " Keith "but why? its a wonderful thing isn't it? " Reia" yes but, given the ceremonial tides we do for our life mates its truly a special thing, and I was premature with scourge, but luckily signs of a litter don't show very soon so planning the plans for the wedding having the plan ,date, and ceremony, then we break ot him the news and it will look like it wasn't outside of wed lock" Keith" ohhh hes one of "those" types T T crossing his arms true love is all that matters and as long as that is present nothing else should matter "



Reia" well family rules you know, the only one who knows is my brother and mother and us of course " Keith" alright sure, I don't kiss and tell,,,sometimes~ anyway I'm glad to be back on the the crew captain tiara~ " Scourge" its not a motherfucking tiara!! " Keith" your still sore on that aren't you he chuckled well no matter, so~ I'll leave you kids be while I go entertain my own red bouquet of joy~ <3 kindly showing himself out the door



Scourge " I will be honest, I did not miss him..." Reia" you can non deny he does have an eye for fashion, and interior design " keith" comes back* if you have a favorite just bookmark it and we can start the dress shopping right away <3 " Scourge" Go away! " Reia" easy now , deep breathes , you just got your smile back , I don't want to lose it " Scourge" I just need an aspirin holding his head Reia" how about a stress reliever <3 "





the next day



kathy appeared at her adopted families flower shop



Kathy" ( knock knock! Knock!) hearthe answered the door Heartha " oh kathy its lovely to see you" Kathy" hi mom , I know this is a bit suddenly but you know tomorrow is the big day " Heartha" yes I'm well aware , the final game for the championship " Kathy' yes , and since magnika has been on vacation with silver and such I came ot see how shes been doing ^w^ " Heartha" well...



in the next room

Silver" just deep breathe magnika it will be fine" Magnika" with a paperbag she was hyper ventilating >< "



Heartha" shes been doing alot better then before, at the very least hshes not huddled in a ball in her room, and shes able to think clearly -w- " Kathy" I'm still sensing a bit a trouble" Heartha" well she is leaving with her team today for the stadium I think she is allowed some level of anxiety, at the very least she can get it out of her system now and join up with er team later ready and sharp" Kathy" well that is true I suppose > > "



as they walked inside in the next room magnika was laying on the couch with a ice pack on her head

Kathy" maggy aren't you feeling better about the game? ;w; " Magnika" hey kathy... and yes I'm.."fine" I'm just a little post-game-stress is all at least shes is a bit on the normal side verses my previous behavior " Heartha" ( I second that emotion )... " Kathy" still you got this, I know you do holding her hand whats got you so nervous though?" Magnika"... > >.... you know how you call lupe wolf your senpai?" Kathy" yes?" Magnika" imagine you were put in a contest against her and it came down to you and her " Kathy" ....>w> " Magnika" and the choose was taking down your idol or caving to her greatness " Kathy" okay I can somewhat understand that... but- well... hmmmgh " Silver" I agree with her kathy letting it out of her system now might work for her rather then just trying to bury it " Kathy" who are your opponents anyway" Magnika" give kathy a poster with there name and logo, hoverball engulfed in a black and red streak with the Letters JB under neath Magnika" Jet Blazers is there team name " Kathy" how original " Magnika" there name carries alot of weight, 4 grand tourneys won in a row , highest scoring game was 50 to 5 , and to end it off they recently got sponsorship from Breezie's co. Kathy" (Crunch) ....Breezie....^w^ ehehe...eheh...heh heh eh gritting her teeth as she growled beneath her chuckling " Silver" something wrong kathy?" Kathy" No no I'm just-... I have a little bit of a history with that women is all -w- " meanwhile in the background heartha was watering her plants when suddenly they started to grab on to her violently ( Heartha" my word! Ahh! basil!)



Silver" well history or not her team has spirit the twilight guardians will be the one taking home to gold and I promise that " Magnika" sitting up as she sighed I know I just need to have faith in myself and my team and just play but, I just know everyone else is probably feeling the same as me, we worked so hard to get here and I don't want us to lose after coming so far , think abut it I can tell my kid they were victory baby she chuckled a bit Kathy" hm? say what now?" Silver" eheh we kind of have this goofy little bet if she would win, we'd have a baby right after it was all said and done xD; " Kathy" .w.... I'll be right back (Vosh!) a few minutes passed ( Vosh) back~ " Magnika" what did you" Kathy" oh nothing just had to tie up some things " Silver" and besides win or lose we're still going through with it she was giving this all tournament her all, I even have separate tapes of all her matches XD" Magnika" holding his hand tightly



(knockknock) Tumble" magnika its time to go! you ready?" Sora" the final preparations await us" Magnika" yeah I'm as ready as I'll ever be Sora" so just a recap once we arrive with the rest of the team the coach is going to run over our game plan for the first half, if they by any chance out play us we go hard defense when we get a lead, and people will know why we call ourselves guardians " Silver" so stall out the time when you get a head?" Sora" yeah but thats only a plan B, our offensive measures will be talked about once we arrive , and coach didn't want me to say this unless it would be needed but I felt maggy needed to be mentally prepared if it happens " Magnika" that is?" Sora" you have the bed reaction time out of anyone on the team, if we have to play hard defense he wants to make you goalie" Magnika" .w. .....EH?! I never played goalie before! put all that pressure on me!? , I'll die just from the anxiety! " Sora" easy maggy this is just a "what if" we might not need it " Magnika" grabbing the bag as she started panting heavily Sora" Magnika snap out of this! snatching the bag from her you are a hard core player, when I talk ot the other team mates everyone asks how are you holding up, everyone has faith in you , you may not be a star player but you are part of the team and they believe in you , everyone was impressed by our little tag team during our first game lets not disappoint, so shake off this boggy man you have and lets win this thing!" Magnika".... going quiet for a moment she sighed as she stood other feet your right, if I can sit here and sweat buckets over a loss I might as well be dribbling a ball~" Sora" thats my girl! punches her shoulder XD Magnika" heh let me just grab my bags and we can head off " Sora" sure" Tumble" and I think this went without saying but good luck and tomorrow will all be in the stands cheering you on " Sora" of course my big old one skunk cheering squad as she grabbed his shoulder pulling him down to her level kissing him on the cheek " Kathy" sooo,,, is it safe to say you two area thing?" Tumble" >///> well we haven't really gone "out" out cause shes been busy with practice and the games and stuff " Sora" but hes been keeping up with me and I'm hoping we can make something over it ~ <3 Tumble" I never had a girl friend before so all this is new ot me " Kathy" awww~ " Sora" jsut let me steer and follow my lead and you'll be fine~ " Kathy" aww xD ( kathy~ can you come here? )



as kathy walked into the green house part of the garden the potted plants were surrounding her parents as one of them as there vines around them

Heartha" alittle help please! the more we fight back the angrier they become DX " Kathy" Ahhh I'm so sorry ;w; as she made all of them return to normal and fixed the room as it was before

Basil" good heavens what was all of that about" Kathy" my emotions must have triggered a reaction from the plant life around me that was my fault DX " Heartha" I did hear you mention something about breezie but I had no idea your dislike of her was so ..... harsh " Kathy" well shes given me plenty reason > > Heartha" well I hope your hatred don't eat at you too much your too sweet for something so violent" Kathy" hehe...hehe yeah I'm such a ball of sugar*



a bit ago

team advertisements missionary

Darkfire" I heard shes back stage with the team and she'll rejoin everyone once its pre-game time which will be in about...10 minutes " Niyako" and knowing the line at concessions is gonna be a mother... will probably need all of it " ( Khalon" No need! ) as khalon, surge, knuckles and kit came from the eatery Kiara" khalon made a list of what oyu like to order and got you covered * asshe handed the carry bag to nova"

"



meanwhile

Locker room *



magnika was splashing cold water on her face in the bathroom

Magnika" ... no more stress, no over thinking, just the game, your instincts, and focus.. thats all there is no more..no less trying her hair up in a ponytail



as she walked out of the rest room she headed towards the field joinning he rest of her teammates Sora" giving her a casual smile does washing off the unneeded stress " Magnika" its no or never no turning back putting her helmet on Sora" fistbump lets make history~" fistbump



as the lot of them entered the field the crowded roaored echoing through the stadium



( Welcome the Twilight Guardians! ) while apposing them were ( The Jet Blazers!) as magnika was the main to start the kick off, she was standing eye to eye with the star player , a falcon as they both stood ready for the sound off* Magnika" ( 1001..1002...1003..! ) (HOOOONK!)



magnika dashed hard to steal the ball first , as she rushed down field

( And magnika! makes the first steal!!) Magnika" ( Ha I did it ! I got it first before her-)" Tempest" that was pretty good , with reaction like that I can see how you got here " * stunned for a moment sensing tempest already up her rear )



Teammate" MAGNIKA IM OPEN! " kicking the ball towards her teammate, tempest dashed and stole the pass midair kicking towards her own Magnika" ( your kidding me! midpass!? ) Tempest immedately started zigzagging through the field as if she was covering openings from the other players as they made there way towards the goal "



TB Goalie" ( there not the best for no reason) * standing ready as she watched there moment* the enemy player with the ball was rushing the goal sora tried to follow in to make a steal , even boosting towards her, ( Sora" not in the first minute you don't!!) the owl saw her out of the corner of her eyes then then clenching he ball with her feet she jumped in the air dodging sora's steal then while in the air she make a kick towards the goal but luckily the goalie caught it* ( SAFE!) as the goalie looked around the field, they quickly kick the ball high in the air , it was anyone's catch , one fo the TG's made a break for the ball catching then quickly shooting it towards sora then as sora was ready to catch it tempest made the steal for the ball running it back towards there goal Sora" I heard tempest was fast but what the hell DX " the nwasting no time with a curved spin kick she landed the first goal of the game

Silver" you got this blueberry...I know you can do this... "



at the field players reset with magnika with the ball

Magnika" ( I'm surprised while at the same time I'm not, tempest is known for her speed and making a plays before everyone can see it themselves, I jsut have to try unorthodox plays if I want to shake her up..." Kathy" magnika!" huh kathy?! Kathy" trust your instincts " shes right I'm doing it again),,, - -" ( HOOOONK!) in that moment of having her eyes closed feeling the field around her tempest madea grab for the ball but she kicked it backwards Tempest"!? sora grabbed the ball then immediately boosted getting away from the others but tempest was already rushing her down

Sora" ( thats right birdy follow the leader ) sora took the back as she boosted into the air then kicked toward the holofield ( Kasshhhaa) causing the ball to bounce off into the air then just tempest saw the opening to steal magnika was already in her face



Tempest" ( is she serious?! shes not going to make a shot from this far? ) Magnika" * using her boost midkick she used the extra force to sending the ball flying like a rocket making the bal lturn intoa comet as it shot across the air straight into the goat! ( HOOOOKK!)



(Crowd ROOAAARR) Khalon" Hell fucking Yeah!! XD" ( Like a shooting star across the field Magnika makes the equalizer there still in this game!)



Sora" high fives magnika what a kick maggy! holy shit" Magnika" I know right XD " Tempest".......... shaking her feathers as she twisted her neck well alright then, you have my full attention*

the second sound off began , tempest having her foot first on the ball immediately kicked towards one of her teammates a ferret, having similar hair cut to rosalina. tempest smirked



Tempest" ..try not to show off to much luna " as luna caught the ball Luna" your asking alot I'm afraid as she darted making her way to TG's goal, two were already on ther e way behind her but she dribbled the ball kicking in the air as she jumped towards it she went into a spin dash like sonic smothering the ball in her coat through the air as one of the teammates tried ot steal it but they missed it completely as if her coat made them misread the distance, still dribbliing the ball with a ball form she pinball'ed through the air ( Flooof Flooof Looof!) & asshe came out of it she reached the goal on her own takinga solo shot



Surge" what the hell is this team bro.. whats next someones gonna use chaos control like shadow?!" Kiara" at this point I would be surprised"



taking the shot but quickly it was caught in a millisecond by a friendly by there tail, a lemur, with a blue eye patch on her right eye and a Scottish pitch Jewel" hoy your pretty a fasst for a walkin fly pillow~ but ya need to be a bit faster then my grip~ she smirked as she smirked catching the ball tossing it towards the ground" Luna" I'll take that challenge monkey as the ball bounced from hitting the ground, both of them boosted trying to reach the ground first , jewel was faster hooking it with her tail again tossing it towards her feet as she started kicking it back to the opposite goal , but closing in behind her was luna who was rushing on all four, asshe madeher way to steal the ball from under her she kicked the ball further away adn immedately started air skating backwards *



Luna" ?!!" using her tail she kept her pace with the tail keeping the ball going Luna" No hands pillow! and I'm fast'a can ya beat that! Ha ha ha ! " Eulalie" I love her I fucking love her XD " Darkfire" ( it would be nice if your kind have at least all of you in one piece )



rushing to the goal jewel did a quick turn around after lobbing the ball herself she boosted towards it ending it with a spin kick towards the ball Jewel" say goodbye to the lead bit- ( (Woooshh! ) O O within a second a dark flash rushed by her stealing the ball , catching her completely off casuhgin her to fall and hit the grass what the!?



midair dripping a bat took the bat from her a royal black furred back wearing goggles covering her eyes and white fur, she stole the ball and immediately rushing back, Morgana



Knuckles" I swear this is getting intense, I can see why your sister was sweating bullets for this game " Kathy " yeah... biting her nail "



Morgana dribbled the ball higher and higher above the ground until she was reaching the high limit of the field while everyoen was chasing after her Magnika noticed tempest was already at the goal



Magnika" ( she's trying to get her up! ), Shes trying to set tempest up for a long shot!! " Sora" not if I have anything to say about it * as she boosted across the field trying to get ahead of everyone , as morgana eventually got to her position she quickly drop kicked the ball towards tempest , then following up she rushed towards the ball mid rish and qith a round house she slammed the ball straight toward s the ball letting out a burst of wind behind her blowing everyone away ( WHooshhhh!)



Sora" Not on my watch!! with her final boost in her gear she go in the way of the ball with a defense kick while unable to full stop the shot she redirected it away from the goal but at the same time( SMASH!) Sora" AGhhhhhh!! >< Magnika" SORA DX " the gear on her foot was completely smashed by the force of the ball causing it to shut down leaving her to fall straight the ground hard ( FUUUUTT!!) a medic team came came out in a rush Magnika" Sora SORA! DX



Sora" ....fuck that hurt..." Magnika" we should have just taken that lose sora.. you didn't have to-" Sora" no!,,*cough* we're call the guardians, we give no freebees and especially not like that , looks like you'll have to handle the final push without me Magnika" ;w;... " Sora" don't give me that face, you got this maggy you know you do, holding her fist out to her remember who we are," Magnika" nodding her head as she head her hand tightly twilight guardians " Sora" exactly "



Jewel" damn girl really took one for the team, we only have one 2 minutes left on the clock unless we pull a goal will hit an overtime and then well, >> tempest goes into hardcore mode and I'd rather not see that > >" Magnika" shadow covered her eyes there won't be a overtime, we're walking away with a clean win tightening her fist



as sora was taken ot the medical bay

( Rumbling) ( Sir Sir you can't comeback here this is secuirty personal only!! GAahhh!)

suddenly tumble came bulldozing through everyone to reach her

Tumble" SORA DX are you okay! when I saw you crash I really thought ou got seriously hurt it was great save but still you- " Sora" tumble! tumble! calm down! you big doofus I'm not dying xD ,

Luna" at least as we play smart we can out pace them easily" Teammate" now that there tank is gone we can easily over power there runners so- " Tempest" no, you lease the strike to me only, those two have shown me up with my best shots, win or lose, this has been the most fun I've had and I'm going to enjoy ever bit of it " twilight guardians, lets see what the horizon will bring & as she looked towards magnika as they both eyed each other down*

to be con.

Later that day

Sky and his family returned home



Sky" well.. that was a interesting event, more then I hoping for " Blaze" the musical was something of a treat but I will not lie, poison's announcement might have stolen the attention bit" Sky" ehh not really it was a bit of a head turner but I won't say it was that over whelming " Nova" I'll tell you what was over whelming the idea that our origins might have come from both a pride demon and an angel ! Sky" I'm somewhat still questioning that my self" Blaze" poison said he heard it straight from his father, and I doubt he would have any reason to lie :/ " Sky" hmm.." Blaze" and do you want to hear my theory? " Sky" what?" Blaze" call me crazy but your more wanting to heal and protect others, because that is a seekers nature right?" Sky" it can depend but yes, nova is the same , but hers is a transformia since she uses fire too " Blaze" meanwhile wildfire is a healer.. but he is very prideful in his work and his way of life deep down he does care about those around him , is it wrong to safe you both carry the spirits of both a angel and pride demon, and to add to that you both seem to act like oil and water every time you interact but in the end you both work together " Sky" so your saying our natures is a small hint of the fact an angel and demon came together to form our clan " Blaze" just a small theory crossing her arms* "



Sky" stroking his muzzle as he thought to himself ..........." Blaze" I could always be wrong, don't think too hard about it " Sky" the sad part is that its not so far out that that its outside the realm of possibility, pride demons working closely with angels, me working with wildfire because of his methods, we don't like each other but we work well together. its its alittle too well " Nova" scary almost, just keep it between us. I don't want alicia making fanfics around you and wild , " Sky" please no , I'm surprised your not more protective and vocal about her antics" Blaze" .. mhm... bit a little lost in her own thoughts " Sky" blaze?" Blaze" yeah, yeah alicia makes fanfics its something that can't be helped" Sky" your in her basket aren't you! " Blaze"n-no I'm not DX" Sky"yes you are, I thought you'd be better then that " Blaze" I am your being overly sensitive again T T " Sky" am I? kathy has just rubbed off on you too much "



as there back and forth was going on nova made her way to her room



Nova" sigh...* leaning against the door she slid down to the floor, fur noodle crawled from under the bed to greet her* hope you haven't been chasing the dust bunnies away again - - rubbing his face softly as he nuzzled into her hands demons, another world we might be visiting, I really think I'm gonna be out of my league again DX.. maybe I'll start training again tonight, suddenly she saw messages appear online of the others talking, having the urge to engage but she decided to head to bed instead I need to be ready for anything at any point.. I'll just...*sigh* rest my eyes a for a bit first before realizing it she had drifted off to sleep. having left the door cracked open noodle made his way out the door to greet sky and blaze on his own terms ^w^ "





Blaze" I think your just over reacting, yes I have my "ideas" but kathy has nothing to do with it " Sky" but shes the driving force for a lot though " Blaze" your not wrong on that idea but just try to be less emotional. there is nothing wrong with alittle indulgence, I think you would know all about that crossing her arms Sky" > > sigh fine I'll let it go suddenly the tapping of foot steps filled the hall as fur noodle came running towards them



( Squeeek )* running up to blaze jumping on her chest* Blaze" f-fur noodle... climbing on her and curling its body around her shoulders looking like a scarf FurNoodle" = =" Blaze" sigh I still do not understand why he likes to do this now " Sky" eheh maybe hes just fond of you more now XD Blaze" hmmm* rubbing his head softly* speaking of becoming fond of; I've noticed wildfire and crystal getting along, nicely she told me hes learning quickly on how to use his reaper abilities " Sky" well I suppose having a focal point does help " Blaze" but it always feels like it rub s you the wrong way " Sky" I don't know, wild is just.. I don't know " as they walked to the kitchen blaze peeled furnoodle off of her shoulders and gave him treats in his food bowl your mother told me you both act sort of like siblings, like you see him as an older brother you have to best, I was told not to mentioned this f obvious reasons but then again I remembered you told you saw sonic like that as well at an early point. do you think wildfire fills a void sonic left you , in your early years?" Sky"..... I mean its possible, I grew up only child, and 5 years in I lose my parents to a raid and was adopted by a mentor and nothing to focus on but my hatred for eggman, crimson was a father yes but maybe there was other things I was lacking and the freedom fighters started to fill voids I didn't have and loved it, and maybe your right, sonic was that brother for me at the time, but the more I got ot see his behavior it frustrated me and I grew distance "



Blaze" nodding her head nothing last forever " Sky" a double edge sword I'd call it , some thing we want to stay the ame forever while others we prefer are short lived " Blaze" jsut like this event , Sky" eheh" Blaze" well I have my own matters to attend to, try to take it easy * kissing him on the cheek* as blaze walked off " Sky" ( well maybe I'll get started on another book, well I'll think about it shaking his head no there is always something I know I love to do and I've bene falling a bit short*



sky made his way to the training area as he was having the field to himself, starting out with a few stretches on top fo cracking his knuckles, holding his hands out he summoned his scythe

Sky" theirs has to be something more I can learn... more I can improve... as sky closed his eyes as his energy was started to transfer to the blade. as he slowly stepped back from the blade it remained in the air. as he took a fighting stance as if he was holding the blade itself his movements were mimicked by the blade only without him touching it. after preforming a full combo ending it with a final strike in the air he opened his eyes seeing the scythe still in the air but as he became short of breathe the scythe fell to the ground



Sky" so..*pant* .. its just when I switch to my reaper form only in spades... yeah this wil lbe something I can learn he smirked



from far two of the guards were passing by



Guard1" I wish I had his drive to keep practicing or ways of fighting " Guard2 " the drills we run are more then enough for me, and plus why work so hard we have beast units now that handle the front line " Guard1" but have you seen what the prices doe s with her unit and thats just a prototype, think of all the greazy stuff we could learn and do " Guard2" what they do is scary and I doubt will be able to start leaping twenty feet in the air or making tidal waves with a single sword swing " Guard1" there are ways to everything you know about the trinity crystals " Guard1" good luck getting one there, banned in the sol kingdom " Guard1" if the appeal goes through, that could all change. I heard one guy could manipulate gravity with them " Guard2" I'd prefer a small number of super villains, the dragon core pirates are more then enough, you remember what happened with midus " Guard1" yeah and he melted into a pile of jello, I think will be fine " Guard2" I swear dude.. I'll take the quiet over anything else , easy money and all I have to do is sight see all day " Guard1" yeah and oogle at the maids all day T T" Guard2" you can't prove anything" Guard1" I've seen you some even you keep a note book for " Guard2" I. have it to ask for there number if there interested no more no less. don't make it sound weird! " Guard1" hmph you'll see one day I'll be one of the top dogs I jsut need that spark to make it happen " Guard2" good luck with that "



as they passed by sky's study garden was the desk at the moment over hearing there conversation



Gardon" blaze a word?" Blaze" yes gardon? " Gardon" the beast units have been growing very popular with in the armies ranks even sparking some push to improve themselves, if you don't mind I've like to make a suggestion, a special forces exam where guards or others can apply and strike to be part of the front line and really show there strengthens if they can keep up" Blaze" special forces " Gardon" to be fair we do need more men to combat the dragon core pirates they are no joke, and even if the academy is prone to training young lads with abilities that does not mean our military men should fall short " Blaze" hmm you make good point, I will bring it to jack's attention tomorrow during the meeting I'm sure he'll be interested in the idea she smiled softly Gardon" ^^ thank you "





later that evening

nova ending up waking up making herself turn over only to see the moon shinning down from her baloney



Nova"....* sitting up she checked her clock and it was 10am* ( are you kidding me) having her head drop back down n the pillow wanting to sleep assh e tried to shut her eyes her mind was restless and unwilling as much as she fought she pulled herself out of bed grabbing herself a fesh set of training w ear she splashed some warm water on her face, letting out a small sigh as she thought ot herself ( early bird catches the worm , what does the all nighter catch? a cold?) nova made her way to the castle open field having the while landscape to herself as wel las the ocean horizon



taking in the moons presence and the somber of the night sky and air and the soft breeize against her fur, she felt herself becoming energized summoning her scythe to her hands she quickly started practicing a few basic moments until eventually she tried to allow the power to flow and take over completely, as it looks like she was changing to a reaper form , as her whole body became coded in her energy but the moment she tried to hold it she already reverted back



Nova" >< panting..... ( its always like this,,, the moment I become aware of what I'm doing I lose it, why?? maybe I'm trying too hard.. ) as she thought to herself trying to imagine something in front of her, a target , suddenly she dropped on all four as as she started running but then as her body was again turninto a pure silhouette form of energy she started running in the air as she was running on air then making a U turn coming from point to point she struck the ground whiel at the moment of impact the energy faded



(Clap clap clap~) a slow clap was heard behind her as she turned around it was Slayer



Slayer" bravo dear your getting better ever time I see, which isn't very often she smirked Nova" s-slayer what are you doing here!?" Slayer" just here to check on my favorite protagonist of this story , you seem to be having some trouble unlock your true potential " Noa" having a deal with you I'm not interested! I learned my lesson from last time " Slayer " ha ha ha ha oh no no no, that time you need help with the power you sought out, however this time its much different, what you require is.. motivation as she casually walked around her Nova" whatwanting to keep my family safe isn't enough" Slayer" short answer, no, long answer , are you really that scared of learnign your precious mommy and daddy? how strong as they are, you could not knocked out for a week and aliens would invade and it would be clean up duty by the time you woke up, face dear there fine, and you know it " Nova"....... I'm still the princess I'm in charge of-" Slayer" duty this, duty that blah blah blah same old story, I'm talking about something you your person dear, threats to your own life" Nova"...?" Slayer" every single threat you've faced it was against someone who had other plans in mind you were a throat in there side~ not the main prize, the goal, the target "



Nova" well there was mimic that one time " Slayer" shaking his head your mother was his target not you, you have always been a participate in these events not the main attraction, that is something you are missing" Nova" I don't understanding " Slayer" well a picture is always worth a thousand words snapping his fingers then suddenly dark energy started to form in front of him until it became a straight up dark copy of her only with glowing blue eyes giving her an alien like look as it stood likea zombie



Nova" what..." Slayer" meet your new friend who whats nothing more then to end your life l3 " Nova" ?!!" Slayer" if you want to reach higher, you have to be forced , and your never backed into a corner or mommy and daddy or at worst kathy comes and saves the day, but what if those options were closed off? could you hold your ground against someone who wanted to kill you?" Nova" why are you doing this " Slayer" do I need a reason? I'm helping you improve in your skills and I get some late night entertainment ^ ^ " Nova" putting a child through hell what a form of entertainment " Slayer" sweetie, what do you think bootcamp is? think of this as.. uncle slayers bootcamp and remember , how can you protect anyone if you can't protect yourself with that he vanished



as the shadow nova lifted there head in a second it charged towards her tackling her to the ground Nova" ?!!" the shadow thrust its hand towards her and in a second engulfed her in a blast of flames but nova unleashed a burst of fire of her own knocking the shadow back but as it had its claws dig into the dirt slowing its descent nova tried to follow up with a spin kick but it countered with a somersault kick sending nova into cartwheel spin backwards onto the ground ( Wham!) pulling herself off the ground spitting up blood she hastily got back to her feet as she summoned her scythe to her hand ( Graaa( Gashh!) O O...* suddenly without warning the shadow made a energy needle extend impaling her in her stomach ( GAhhh!) causing he rto throw up blood,, in that moment the shadow held her up and pulled her within arms length grabbing her by the neck then flying off into the sky while she cough having a clear shot hse used her energy claws and impaled them in the shadow's face, it appeared unfazed by her attack , and it quickly followed up by grabbing her by the face, then aiming towards the forest below and with a single fire blast launching her straight to the ground ( CRASH!!!) al lthat could be heard was the branches snapping that nova broke as she landed hitting one final tree before falling to the ground



Nova"............ having a dazed look in her eyes as blood dripped from her mouth and head ... ( " how can you protect others if you can't protect yourself" " ) as she tried dto move but all she could was ball her fist as tears welled in her eyes from the pain ..mom..dad...snowfall...kiara...kathy ..I I always talk of protecting everyone...but less then a minute and I'm half dead... from stupid energy clone... ( Slayer" if you want to reach higher, you have to be forced , and your never backed into a corner or mommy and daddy or at worst kathy comes and saves the day, but what if those options were closed off? ) as she slowly started to get on her knees as she coughed up blood* hes right... ( there were many time I was backed into a corner, one were no one could hrlp me only they weren't fights I could simply cut my way out of, or at least I thought.....be it either the assassins, that time I was going to be forced to marry jaguar nothing was stopping me from killing him then and there my parents would have been fine... at the end of the day I over think everything... to the point it hinders me like nature is a game and I have to play by the rules or be punished for it... " as she rose her head she saw the shadow walking towards her every time the game was going against me I would cry for help like I had no other means.. like I had to play by the rules of some stupid game )... suddenly the shadow summoned a scythe of its own and started to rush towards her



Nova" ( but.. this isn't a game this is survival suddenly the shadow sliced the tree she was standing by in half but nova dropped to dodge it and survival has no rules ) as nova circled around her getting behind her then in a second blasting her with fire engulfing the shadow along wiht the tree itself (Fowwwsshhhhh1!) then in a second she formed her claws on her hands* sorry kathy I'll planet a fresh tree in return! as she sliced the base of the burning tree then as she got behind it she tacked the tree getting to fall on top of the shadow ( CRASSSHHHH!!) after a few second suddenly a spear of energy sliced through the tree breaking it apart as the shadow rose up in the air as it quickly started to shooting fire towards nova but she dodged it using the trees as some form of cover while making there way out of the forest the shadow seemed to lost sight her as they came out to the open again *



suddenly the shadow looked up in the air and in the light f the moon was nova in her reaper form as her energy was illuminated by the rays of the moon

Nova" they say the soul shines brighter under a full moon as she charged down ina flash she sliced the clone in half



the shadow immediately started to deteriorate and fade away suddenly the world around her started to become watery until the whole scene changed and she was standing back where she was with Slayer



Slayer" ahaha wonderful that was such a great scene of character development " Nova" so.. all that was just a illusion? " Slayer" hmm yes and no, you would have died , I should have had to revive you and the burning trees well, I'm only restoring them as a courtesy since you passed~ " Nova" hmph " Slayer" soooo~ what did learn? Nova" I.. I was playing it too safe and I need to let myself be more wild when the situation calls for it, I would over think a situation " Slayer" exactly , when your in danger and some nonsense is standing between you and your parents, they won't give a shit , because your important, if someone is trying to kill you; your father he will fight tooth and nail not because he wants to live but because he knows you still need him and same for your mother " Nova" changes back to her normal form Slayer" your over analytical nature is what held you from achieving your goal so with that out of the way all its going to take is some normal old training so in short stop thinking so much , I'm sure your Ex khalon could help you on that front" Nova" gives middle finger Slayer" mhmhm~ ahh so vulgar , but that will conclude our little encounter, and heres a small little gift ~ suddenly he blasted her with a bit of energy Nova" !>< ....!? o o what did you do?" Slayer" I healed your wounds l though the trams your body felt will have its effects but I'm sure you can sleep it off* Nova" how nice T T" Slayer" see you soon, I'll look forward to level two~ (Vosh!)



Nova" level two-...aghh...* in that moment nova suddenly became dizzy as she collapsed to the ground * ><.... "



* ???"



Mayhem" #@#@$%$#%@@#$" Slayer" oh kathy wil lbe fine, its all in the name of helping them grow I'm a good parent <3 " Mayhem" ......#$@#$%" Slayer" okay friend of a parent~ *smirks* "





with in a dream state, nova was looking beyond the fields to a forest on fire, assshe tried to put the fire out or to stop it, at one moment she was turned around by kathy who grabbedh er by the hair as she yelled out crying

( I'm sorry , I'm sorry I didn't mean to.. I didn't mean to! )



until eventually the shot made her wake up

* GAspp!!* nova woke up in her bed still ina slight panic from her dream, pullingherself out of bed she went out to her balcony and from her window she saw the forest jsut shy of the village was still as it always was, letting out a sigh of relief



Nova"... pant...?! who..? " suddenly niyako opened the door ot her bed room Niyako" nova oh thank the starts your alright " Nova" niyako..? as he walked to her hugging her tightly what happened? still a bit absent minded Niyako" one of the royal guards found you passed out on the field and carried you back home, you didn't have any visible injuries on your body so they assumed you were just tired, but you were really responding so they gave you to me and I had you put to bed, you were sleep for the last 3 hours passed breakfast time Nova" oh... oh her ears lowered



wasting no more time she changed into her normal daily ware and headed to the dining room wheere blaze hada cup of tea for herself



Blaze" well I see someone is finally awake " Nova" hi, good morning, um wheres dad? Blaze" he with jack at the moment, I'm curious to know what left you so exhausted to sleep so late, normally your on par with sky " Nova" > >.... < <..I was....I sitting down I was training and I got a bit of a realization " Blaze" in what way? " Nova" I just don't want you upset cause I know this will" Blaze" well nova it depends on what it has to do with " Nova" bitting her lips .. slayer decided to mess with me" Blaze" !?!" Nova" I wanted to figured out why I wasn't able to change to a reaper form like dad and he basically helped me figure it out. by having a doppelganger try to kill me. " Blaze" go on. " Nova" he showed me I was always playing it safe, I for some reason felt I had to play by this rulebook in way... as nova continued to express her feelings, one of the maids brought her a small meal plate for her as she continued to finish her story



Nova" so in the end I have to practice letting my overthinking stop taking over " Blaze" sigh .. pinching snout Nova" I hope this won't worry you" Blaze" its hard not to nova but don't misunderstand my frustrations its not with you its with slayer, hes been quiet for weeks and now his moment of surprising us is messing with you straight off the bat , we all know hes messing with the dragon core pirates in someway as well or at least your father has a theory and who knows what else hes doing " Nova" mhm.. " Blaze" butm going back to you nova I understand why ouy may be been over thought situations like the forced wedding , and yes I have no doubt you could have fought your way out of it but the threats of us being in danger was something that shackled you to making the more reasonable decision which wasn' hr most favorable " Nova" leaving me to cry like a baby a the document table and khalon saved me , honestly its not one of my proudest moments... I never wanted to be a princess who talks big but need s to saved so shamelessly. I wanto be liek you and dad you work together its amazing to watch , I've seen your sparring sessions from the video records its amazing xD" Blaze" >///> well I'm happy you think so ( I hope it wasn't the footage where we named our attacks ) ..- ahem so as for slayer don't let him get to you too much however for my peace of mind if you must go out in the dead of night ot train take nanobyte with you, promise?" Nova" promise she smiled softly also blazeing pinball was my favorite XD" Blaze" feelinga arrow through her chest ... ( IT WAS DX) ..* facepalming*...t-thank you nova " Nova" but there was something I thought we could practice with my fire?" Blaze" and that is?" Nova" I noticed for myself when I'm not focusing on what I see my senses doo take over so I want ot try and practice some fire catch blindfolded " Blaze" so a way of letting your over senses take the wheel " Nova" yes, and even for my reaper form I feel I can do it at least that way " Blaze" well I don't know about your reaper form but your flames that Ican asist with , once I finish the sparring match with niyako we can begin she smirked



Nova" promost you won't burn him alive T T" Blaze" I promise, now finish your breakfast, and don't forget darkfire's written assignment" Nova" argh... fine* sinking her seat* Blaze" T T its due tomorrow " Nova" XP " Blaze" you have a good memory and eye for combat it shouldn't hard" Nova" Ican eye ball it just fine its just , keeping up with the names and styles , wh y can fighting just be fighting" Blaze" careful your khalon is showing " Nova" Mom! Blaze" just saying~ leaving the table as her tail swayed a bit with a smirk on her face Nova" nah nay yay nn hmph.. bet no one else has this issue.."



speaking off we change scenes to scourge jsut endina morning session with kaspian with him sending it getting tossed around like a ragdoll



Kaspian" you are such an anomaly , you got the strength but lack the grace, you got the speed but lack the style , you have the power but no patience " Scourge" zip it scales! I already gotten use ot how you fight I can get it down perfectly and you'll be cleaning the deck for a month!" Kaspian" Kaspian" you know what I think your problem is, whither you realize this but every time you open your mouth it is nothing but anger, spite , and hate " Scourge" wel lits a bit hard whe neveryone seeks to makea fool of me like now! as she rushed him swinging the blade rapidly but kaspian blocked and countered dodging his attacks, while scourge returned a few , while from the benches Reia and cello were watching



Cello" I will not lie he has gotten better, he looks like he has actual form to his movements" Reia" now if he can just stop raging like a child" (Clash!) Kaspian" I'm no stranger to anger scourge, we all have it from one point in our lives, regardless from who or where it came from. but at some point * twisting his blade forcing scourge int oa different stance and in a second he disarmed him of the blade then sent him flying with a kick to the chest (Gaahhh!) you have to let it go, let your past go and embrace yourself now " Scourge".........." kaspian" now if you'll excuse me I have a class to teach, but I'll be back in the evening for another ground if you wish, alright the miss'es promised some blood red brisket and I couldn't say no to that spreading his wings he took off * *



Cello" its amazing dad is overlooking the fact shes buttering him up jsut because having him in ou r graps would be a great addition " Reia" mother was never shy of collecting her favorites if not for eye candy or fro meat candy later which ever comes first as she walked over ot scourge



Reia" you alright?" Scourge" ..do I look alright.. every where I turn I'm just joke, I might as well pait myself asa fucking clown " Reia" love, maybe kaspian is right, everything you say is seeped in hate, I understand your history with sonic, your passed girlfriend, thoses were harsh but, look at you now? your havea pirate team , you have the respect of my father, the diamond fang name and w'ere getting married and ending it all off your gonna have kids , your a king and I'm your queen , , but your past is still holding on to you and I think is time we finally left it dead and buried"



as scourge sat up he held his head heavily



Cello" maybe you should take him to "that" place it might be the on thing to help him" Scourge" what place, a spa? forget it XP " Reia" not...specifically its a meditation cove for reptiles , its likea underground spring but the material embedded in the walls creates a fragrance that allows you to clear your spirit and mind , its very therapeutic" Scourge" then why is it lizards only?" Cello" the fragrance can be overwhelming for mammals to the point it will make yuu pass out" Reia" and no offense love, but I think you need something strong" Scourge" .....*sigh* its not like I have much of a choice " Reia" lets hope this bitterness i nyour heart wil lfinally be able to melt away" wrapping her arms around him from behind pressing her hand agaisnt his chest asshe leaned her head against his



Scourge" ....* as scourge felt her around him he suddenly even noticed himself for a moment he loved her embrace but he wasn't enjoying it as much as he wanted to, clenching her hand tightly with a bit of a sorrow in his eyes* yeah lets give this ho t spring thing a shot* asshe tooto his feet* Reia" great ~ its on the other side of the city near the Saberclaw mountain *





* being able to make the trip quick and simple, reia and scourge made there way to saberclaw mountain where the terrain was heavily rocky and hard to navigate ,quickly enough it was soon noticeable that diverse mobians was appearing less and less and soon it was nothing but dragons or reptiles in these parts , some were even taking double takes as they looked at scourge "



Scourge" apparently I'm truly a foreigner in this neck of the woods T T" Reia" just ignore them and don't make eye contact " Scourge" why would I be such a catch to them or does my reputation still perceives me " Reia" some dragons mobians are still on the menu and there looking at you like a free meal ticket, but as long as you stick with me you will be fine" Scourge"!? and you..took that chance dragging me here this far into there territory? " Reia" my father it a big time investor in dragon territory, I've helped make deals along with him, they know my face and they would be smart to back off " Scourge" hmm... Reia" don't worry, once our big day is over everyone wil lknow your name and once that happens the diamond fang will have you to carry the flag also she smirked and I can't wait <3



as eager as reia sounded in her voice scourge wasn't really taking it with as much pride as she was, eventually they reached the cove , eventually a Drakaina approached them not the slim type that was usually scene she was rivaling drako's size by half, her scales were cream colored, her eyes were emerald green and claws like daggers and spikes down the back of her head like a mohawk



Dragon" no mobians allowed " Reia" its alright hes with me , this a therapeutic trip " the dragon rolled her eyes and sighed heavily Scourge" is there a problem?" ???" tsk yeah this is a sauna for our kind not a buffet I had to keep reminding folks because of fools like you as she handed him a clipboard to sign his name Scourge" signs it Reia" less then 30 minutes should be enough " Dragon" eheheh they all say that, I'll give you an hour since it your first and its on the house if you pass out she smirked letting out a soft laughter as they headed inside



Scourge" the fuck was all that about" Reia" mobians would come here t either to get the experience or were dared by others to enter these grounds, its sort of popular but just like someone who has never drank before , they get a taste and can't stop , and end up passing out, and what do you think happens to a sheep that passes out too far into a den of wolves" Scourge" I.. get the picture " quickly they approached a booth to remove any clothing they might have one them and are given a towel if needed of them changed. Reia feel no need to cover as she waked for scourge, walking out with his towerl around his waist



Reia" you don't really wear pants anyway so why bother :/ " Scourge" its for when my fur is wet thank you" Reia" trying to avoid putting on a show l3 " Scourge" growls Reia "eheheh I'm jsut messing with you, but have ou noticed anything?"



Scourge" noticed what? " Reia" brushing her hand agaisnt the walls the green vaporrs in the air the aroma the sensation as the fumes r your senses you'll start feeling more relaxed " Scourge" ...... well.. "

Reia" come on "

as they arrived at the main location where the well were, the room was massive with several tubes where dragons were scattered around either chattering with there own or just clan relaxing, reia clamed a single spot for them both as she the first to step in



Reia" let me know if your really feeling it?" Scourge" trying to brush off reias comment but quickly something was happening, he was startng feel dizzy as he quickly shhook it off as he decided to sit down with his feet in the water that hada greenish tint to it



Scourge" tsk surprisingly it ain't that hot " Reia" ones underneath steam vents are the hottest but were on the easier side cause I don't want to boil like eggs she chuckled a bit as she sat with in the water shoulder deep as she growled softly Scourge" so what was suppose to happen" Reia" search with in yourself find out where this constant anger is coming from and urge yourself to let it go, remember what you want now is different then back then " Scourge" all I'm feeling is slightly air headed from these vapors" Reia" give it time " Scourge" I don't want to spend forever here I need to get over this now as he got in the water with reia" Reia" No wait not in the water- (Splloosh!) as scourge droppdit getting dunked for a moment as he raised his head* Scourge" relax I'm fine reia..XD....reia?



suddenly scourge was i nthe same space as he was before as he looked around he was in the forest



Scourge" wait... I know this place... this was when "

at the moment he saw himself walking away looking hurt and frustrated while looking where his memory was walking from it was when sky convinced fiona to walk away from him Scourge" right... sword boy got her to turn her back on me " Fiona" was it really him or you"

suddenly looking behind him and it was fiona herself



Scourge" babe" Fiona" don't babe me, you abandoned me and you abandoned all of us ! you have any idea what I went though to bring the team back together to convince them to still follow you but you just fell apart you always want to blame others but maybe jsut maybe its you! you adn fragile ego ! " Scourge" fiona we said we were team! and you let sky jsut convince you others running backto that fox who was really left out to dry!? " Fiona" no you got yourself whipped too many times and you just lost a part of yourself , ever since you spent type in prison you changed no fight no spark you lost what make you who you were ! and I wanted to bring that back and I did.. and what did I get fori t?" nothing just like everywhere else... " Scourge" everyone else?! remember you came crying to me first cryign that your mommy and daddy never loved you when you just gave up looking, betraying your own damn friends because you felt everyone would betray you in the end walking towards her you dug yourself a grave everywhere you went until you ended up in my lap!! and I was kind enough to give you that spot all to yourself , and one day... you just decided you had enough leaving me; something you needed you. out to dry. becaise of you everything started ot fall apart! holding her by her collar



Fiona " don't don't try to make it sound liek my fault- " Scourge" you were MY bitch from the beginning! don't get it fucking twisted! eventually I became comfortable with you , your voice, your touch, your... presence it made me comfortable , I was vulnerable because I thought I could trust you and you did the very fucking this to me you were scared of everyone doing to you!! throwing her to the ground you abandoned me , and yourself not the to her way around, sky just actually convinced you to make a choice and stick with it as tears ran down his cheeks I jsut finally needed to admit that to myself... instead chasing a stupid dream "



Fiona" you think your innocent in all this, you conquered your world, you killed the king, you wrecked lives , many all for your stupid attempt to your dad to see you as someone worth remembering, now look you a lap dog for a pirate yakuza you will forever be a failure,! after everything you went through for nothing how the fell will you sleep at night! Scourge" ....next to my wife "



as hewalked away suddenly the scene changed to his main office back in mobeius



Scourge" wow.. I'm surprised I stil remember this place... ( SLAM!) suddenly seing himself from the past upset and throwing everything on the floor as he sat down on his desk olding his head

Memory" fucking old man! " as tears ran donw his cheeks as held his head*



Scourge"........" ???" next to your wife huh? something I never thought I'd hear you say? as scourge turned around it was the mobeius version of chuck Scourge" gramps??" Chuck" hey there sonny, nice to see your still trying to be he bully in life " Scourge" bully?, your one to talk you never really scared what I did, " Chuck" I did care, but it wasn't my job to raise my son's son, and whenever I told you the harsh truth of the matter you spat it back i nmy face, so I figure I would just let the life experience beat the hell out of you " Scourge" ........." Chuck" Isee you've gotten beat pretty bad " Scourge" you couldn't just give me one sliver of praise one kind word nothing, it was always some kind of criticism and you just- " Chuck" I jsut want scourge, why would give you any kind of help when you won't take it "



Scourge" BECAUSE I WAS SICK AND TIRED OF ALWAYS HEARING WHAT I'M NOT DOING! I busted my ass to make things for my own! my own team my own achievements conquering mobius! I've done it all! and at the end of the day it was all for nothing!! neither you nor dad gave me any credit for everything, I was always a fucking failure , I hate you and I hate him! the only good thing about one of you is in the grave... " Chuck" I probably saw more in you then your father did, for a start and maybe I somethings could have been different but fro what its worth scourge, I never hated you, and you were a failure, you jsut needea tighter grip and one I didn't give , but don't expect an apology " Scourge" like it would matter , your jsut a ghost now anyway " Chuck" .... as scourge was turned away chuck walked towards him putting his hand on his shoulder treat her well boy " as scourge put his hand over where chuck placed his hand it was nothing but a mist, as a shadow overed his eyes , as he held his head down



* as the scene changed once again as it showed the destrix his team with everyone around him, and slowly one by one everyone faded away going there own ways after he was taken down, suddenly water was at his feet as he turned his head adn a wave of water engulfed him, washing him away as he started to sink"



Scourge" everyone is right, I just sell wolf tickets , I'm always looking for some kind of praise from someone , anyone and when I don't get it I throw a damn tantrum, jeslous of others, that damn sonic only to fall short and for him to pit in my face all the time.. in the end wasn't really his fault or mine... after all I'm still him and I'll never... be anything else but his shadow ... " ( Reia" scourge....scourge... scourge! ) reia's voice echoed in his mind as he started to struggle and swim up when suddenly someone grabbed his hand and pulled him above water



Scourge" ...reia..? " Reia" the past is the past for a reason, it shapes us, but it does not define us " Scourge" looking down at his feet the reflect in the water was his old self when he still looked like sonic with a biker jacket Reia" giving him a soft smile in the end , you are not a kind because of others you were always a king because of you, a fighter, a conqueror let that guide you and we wil lbe there not to follow but to guide you , together that is a true king" as scourge looked around seeing reia's family, even guntham, brass, keith" Scourge" suddenly a true smile appeared on his face as he chuckled* thanks ...everyone "



back in the wakinging world



scourge finally woke up



Reia" do you raalize who your messing with!? " as reia was being pressed agaisnt a wall by oneof the other dragons" DRagon" I know of your diamon fangs but your in dragon grounds right now , and your father might supply funds but newer factions of moving in , haven't you heard the news?" Reia" what?" Dragon" the dragon core is looking to buy this territory and that measn bying this place off your hands " Reia" what?! we didn't agree to anything of the sort!" Dragon" you don't have to, dragon law permits buy outs as long as the amount is 5 times the asking price and they were willing, I color that fairly generous wouldn't you?" Reia " grrr! " Scourge" hey! , meat head! the parties still need to enact negotiations first " Reua" your awake ! " Dragon" I knew I should takea bite first " Scourge" also two things, " Scourge" one " Dragon" eheh one wh-a- huh!? in a second scourge grabbed reia wrapping his arm around her tightly Scourge" don't touch my wife" Reia" ( who wha, when did he-!? ) " Scourge" and second in less then a second scourge wall jumped off the wall he was near and round house kicked the dragon straight in the head knocking him out as he hit the floor Scourge" don't touch my fucking wife " Reia" o//w//o "..* sjaking herhead* so how are you feeling? Scourge" suddenly things re finally more clear its amazing how different it feels, liberating he smirked "



meanwhile the guard outside was talking with anotherdragon as they were laughing about reia letting him inside



when suddenly they were both stunned seeing them walk out so causally Scourge" hey beef cake, thanks for the free spa I'll be back one day~ Dragon" wha?! but but!? " Dragon2" damn it Devai you owe me 50 gold! " Devai" T T "



Reia" hugging tightly see I knew you'd be okay " Scourge" thanktsto you and the others, sorry for being a bitch for so long" Reia" at least your maturing and growing up " Scourge" heh "







back at the DF's house

johnny was busy painting his face on most fo hos bombs and missiles



Brass" do you literally paint your face on everything?" Johnny" its a branding thing , even if I'm partnered with you lot now , they need ot know whos still marking them for dead " Brass" looking at some of the torpedo that were finished" at least draw your name or something, drawing your face its it look so... clownish" Johnny" its not clownish I've always done this, this is nothing new" Brass" well that explains alot " Johnny" I could say the same about you pirates, I know that scourge was a hot head but I had no idea he was anger box every second of the day, heh no wonder he can't get anything done " Brass" well thats what today was about he went to go see if he can get his issues sorted out " Johnny" yeah by going to dragon spa and getting high off of there fumes that sounds like a super smart idea and totally won't backfire " Cello" your very positive towards your captain, I'm sure he would love ot hear your words of encouragement in person Johnny" hah he'll be back on a stretcher I promise you that, Guntham" I didn't know stretchers let the victims walk "



turning his head he wa stunned to see scourge and reia arrive looking refreshed



Johnny" what? how? are you serious!" Scourge" you were expecting someone else " Johnny" noI was expecting "something" else " Reia" well surprise surprise " Brass" so did it work?" Scourge" taking a deep breathe sighing with relief I would say it did, but I think the real tes t will be if I can best kaspian today " Johnny" well a whole week of him mopping the floor with you, you ought to take something away from it right?" Reia" johnny if your trying to be supportive its not working " Johnny" I'm just telling it like it is " Scourge" tsk sure... * crossing his arms"



Brass" speak of the devil " looking out in the distance in the sky, kaspian was making his way back as he slowly descended to the ground in front of everyone Kaspian " well looks like everyone was waiting for me, I hope I wasn't too long " Cello" ( our mother has been waiting ) T T..* looking back to the door entrance only for snow to dash out of sight* Kaspian" so are you ready to cal lit quits or give it one more go " Scourge" never, I think I'm finally ready, now that I let go of some unnecessary shit " Kaspian" ( hes demeanor does appear different since this morning, I wonder ) well then lets see those skills pay off~ pulling out his sword

Scourge" * taking a standard blade himself * wasting no time scourge charged in first while kaspian took a parry stance but scourge slowed his attack adn stuck fro man off angle forcing him to readjust his pose and defend against it , then already attacking heavily forcing kaspian to go on defence as he backed up



Kaspian" ( he actually caught my parry? so he has been paying attention ) (Slash ching!!) there sword kept crossing over and over again ( but its going to take alot more then this ) kaspian planted his feet and started to strike back pushing scourge back, After one heavy hit breaking scourge guard , kaspian let out a small smirk as he tried to sending him flying wit ha roundhouse kick but in that second scourge just dashed behind him in a second Kaspian" ?!! O O getting caught off guard scourge was about to slash him from behind but jsut in that second kaspian dropped his sword tossing it behind him letting his tail pick it up and used his tail ot guard against his strike (Clash!) * Nice try~ "



Cello" I didn't see scourge get behind him but kaspian was able to still react??" Reia" no wonder hes so good " meanwhile snowwasstill inthe door way Snow" ( oh daddy <3 ) giggling to herself



scourge was phased and kept attacking with kaspian fighting with his tail



Kaspian" ha ha ha ha ha! now we're talking, your fighting has changed like night and day! " as scourge carefully watching kaspian harden his claws and he took the sign and jumped back in time just as he turned around swinging his claws out Scourge" you thought you had me didn't you?" Kaspian" tossing his sword from his tail back to his hand I did, what gave it away?" Scourge" your hands behind free you clenched your hand even thought you weren't holding anything " Kaspian" very good ( Clap clap clap ) I don't what held all this back , but its great seeing it all come to the surface~ Scourge" tsk I'm honored " Kaspian" now then , if you can disarm me I'll admit defeat~ Scourge" alright deal he smirked ( Whooshh!) in that second scourge attacked him once from the front then again from the back then the left ,right and repeat kaspian was able to keep up but his attacks were coming too fast to he point he was deflecting the blade with both his claws and his tail at the same time Kaspian" hyper focused ( hes trying to trip me up by attacking me multiple times, I've fought 5 poplr at once before this is nothing ) with each strike kaspian watched the direction he was going for untill eventually counting the seconds the strike from the right he blocked he immediately changed his stance to attack and slashed his on coming attack from the front (CLash!!) but all he did was knock a sword to the ground Kaspian" huh!? " Scourge" whats wrong never seen an after image before?" as scourge kept moving around him he quickly picked up the sword again adn jsut as kaspian tried to counter scourge knocked the blade out of hand quickl y holding the blade his neck



Kaspian" O O,,,,, " Scourge" looks like I win" Cello" that was-" Reia" HOLY SHIT! YES that was amazing! " Brass" someones gotten a bit loud" Reia" !? ahem.... well... hmm > >;; " Kaspian" falling on his hid just stunned suddenly a gritted teeth started to show when suddenly Kaspian" AHahhahahah.. Damn it! ...ahahahahah X'DD ..you actually got me " Cello" my question is how " Scourge" "quick repetition" I just kept pelting you with baby attacks until you were looked in my rhythm then I waited for you to attack and hid the fact I dropped the sword underneath the images, you took the bait, adn while you were freaked out , boom ~ snapping his fingers Kaspian" damn it... I haven't gotten that serious since my fight with darkfire .. color me humbled " Scourge" and welcome to the Royal pirates " Brass" royal pirates? thats our new name" Reia" I can already see the flag, I'm going to get the designs ready l3 "



Snow" I'm happy for scourge, but sad its over ;w; " Victor " passing behind her grabbing her by the tail alright dear thats enough, too much candy will make you sick" Snow" just a bit longer as he claws nicked the door way as she pulled away >w<; " Victor" your still cooking the brisket " Snow" groans "



Kaspian" so what comes next?" Reia" well of scourge your welcome dinner mother is preparing and planning the wedding for us ^^ " Scourge" and how long before we let your dad know about the "other" surprise " Reia" > >... -w- will keep it under wraps as long as we can. but given your achievements today I'm sure he is welcoming you with open arms ^w^ " Kaspian" oh right blood red brisket, how could I forget he smirked

I'm just an outsider her , looking at man whos love is forever beside her , something I truly want....... but can never have wanting a love without the pain, and laughter without the tears...

after a long day at the theater , on top of giving kathy the surprise everyone was quickly worn out and tired, sky and blaze immediately heading for home and changing for bed, skipping dinner with the rest of the family they headed on to bed



Blaze" I almost feel bad for missing dinner" Sky" sighing softly why so?" " Blaze" your sister made egg rolls she was proud of , and my mother is a big fan of eggrolls, it would have been nice seeing what her opinion on them would be" Sky" well if there are none left tomorrow I'm sure they will be proof they were good he chuckled softly as he kicked his shoes off ...

Blaze" I think its time you went you to sleep that is what I think.. pulling the blanket over his shoulder" Sky" sorry about the mix up that was probably reel-la I was talking too.. the priestess" Blaze" okay I get it, now rest please wrapped her arms around him tightly* tightly nuzzling close to him* good night~ ( its going to be a big event when the show is put on display for everyone to see, normally I've never been one for Broadway productions but... this was a lot of fun, evne if there is still much to do, never was this something I imagined myself doing she chuckled to herself xD " Sky" Zzz....zzz.....zzzz " Blaze" he is out cold that fast o o "

meanwhile back home with kathy



kathy placed the remainder of her cake on the table with a cake covering

Knuckles" looks like our birthday surprised worked out as planned" Kathy" yes, yes it did~ and I honestly cannot thank you all enough. as she hugged knuckles tightly I know it was quite the hassle putting together " Knuckles" ehhh not that much xD " Kathy" still >w< " Knuckles" the only thing I was worried for was what kind of cake he would have had made for you, he either could have gotten a vanilla or chocolate or lemon or just played it safe with a strawberry ice cream cake , or tiramasu at worse " Kathy" but I like tiramasu how would that be worse?? Knuckles" birthday cakes are suppose ot be something you rarely have not something you get all the time " Kathy" should it matter as long as its your favorite?" Knuckles" hmm.. maybe" Kathy" I mean for your birthday ou actually like chocolate cake with chucks of chocolate inside it , its alittle too much for my taste but you like it , now if I were anyone else like sonic for example I could get you a fruit flavored vanilla cake " Knuckles" for a second I thought you were gonna make it grape flavored " Kathy" uhhh... I don't think that would be as good as we think nor would I test it = = I'll make you a smoothie first " Ginger" cutting himself another slice of the cake you think thats bad? I heard one guy made a pizza flavored cake " " Kathy" a pizza flavored- how!?" Ginger" its as I said, its a standard white layer cake, you layer it with pizza sauce..* chuckles* then mozzarella then another white layer then on top you put cheese and pepperoni its sort of a cold like like your tiramasu so the sauce doesn't melt the cake part of the cake he laughed worst frankinstein creation I've seen " khalon" I don't know I'd try it still" Kiara" you'd try anything" Kathy" I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that abomination at all and enjoy the lovely day it has been <3 and I'm truly looking forward to the part two that is darkfire and eulalie's gathering X3 "



Knuckles" maybe give your self a break, now that the play is borderline finished all thats left is the final touches and it will be a bit a screening for everyone to see" Kathy" hmhm ^^ and don't worry I'll be fine" Knuckles" still , this production has been on you r mind and shoulders for weeks and now its finally done - - give your still some time off please? " Kathy* sighs softly* alright alright I'll take it easy she laughed, also don't over do it on the cake, I will want some left overs and second ginger you already had 3 slices XP " Ginger" >w>; " cakes from scratch are always good okay " Kathy" wel lif you want a cake I'll be more then happy to make one for you " Kiara" he can't control himself that why he never asked" Ginger" shut up DX " Kathy" ohh speaking off I'll be paying my parents a visit as ell owo and they can see the video too Xd eheh x3 " Knuckles" okay okay your mind has been turning for weeks give your gears a break XD wrapping his arms around her tightly alright I know~ one thing at a time, I think first I'm gonan get into something more comfortable "



as kathy and knuckles headed upstairs, at the same time kyle climbed up on the table and smalling the leftover cupcakes he already started eatting one

Kiara" hm!? kyle! ..No~ No! no sugar this late DX Kyle" ahh! DX " Ginger" he already started it might as well let him finish it " Kiara" are you gonna be up and watching him? Ginger" they aren't that sugary Ithink he'll be fine" Kiara" I'm jsut careful for pete sake- the echoing of the kids voices got softer as knuckled closed the door to the hall behind him*



Knuckles" I'm really looking forward to moving the castle honestly, will have alot more space between us and them giving us more..peace and quiet " Kathy" and to think you were against it in the beginning sticking her tongue out at him Knuckles" okay fine maybe I thought it was a bit big headed but I warmed up to the idea > >" Kathy" well maybe you should listen to me more often nuzzling his cheek Knuckles" anything to stroke your ego I see" Kathy" I can stroke more then that l3" Knuckles" I know you can squeezing her cheeks kathy >w< " Knuckles" give me a minute , you know that soda can run through you xD Kathy" hmm~ I'll be here "



( Pusheen get off the table! , where's kathelyn? , buried under the cats on the couch, Kiara" khalon its your turn to do the dishes " Khalon" come on you can just magically make them all clean " Kiara" you still need to put them away! )



Knuckles" kids try to keep it down please! " ( sorry! ) as knuckles walked back to the bedroom alright ready for a small roleplay of our- o o seeing kathy was completely knocked out on the bed . as he walked up to her snapping his fingers there was no reaction shes out like a candle , then again I knew she would be, get some rest miss cherry diva~ "





future city

Darkfire and Eulalie's manor



Eulalie" final...touches and... there! there you go all touched up and ready to go~ holding up marigold in her arms having her in a little yellow outfit for the gathering ( knock knock knock) come in"



Darkfire" * coming in quickly closing the door behind him* sigh maybe combing the baby shower and kathy's gathering was a bad idea DX" Eulalie" I think it worked out perfectly " Darkfire" there so many people " Eulalie" sweetie, you have big houses for big gatherings, its just part for the course" Darkfire" even if it was adjusting I'm still not use to it nor will I ever " Eulalie" remember what I said , deep breathes, take it in bit by bit and focus on what you want not everything at once, like her pushing marigold in his face Darkfire" he quickly took a deep breathe as he picked up marigold cradling her in his arms well that does help a bit " Eulalie" see?? taking it slow - - , plus you still have that ASMR playlist I gave you" Darkfire" I know but I still so pathetic needing that " Eulalie" there is nothing wrong with needing some calming music everyone does it, some have ocean melodies, others have clocks and machines clicking and snapping into place " Darkfire" lets just hope she won't be like either of us " Eulalie" I just pushed her out. don't jinx her XP, now I need to get myself ready, you tent to the guest cause right now I smell like baby powder and soap, now do me a favor and show off my creation * pushing him out the door (shut!)



Darkfire" > > shouldn't it be our creation? " Marigold " scratching her head >w<" Darkfire" well come on lets go say hi to everyone~ * darkfire walked out to the living room and a few faces were already present wildfire and alicia being one of the first, with rouge and ruby "



Alicia" what to you mean shadow didn't want to show up " Rouge" you know the man is always business and besides I think we have enough sour faces here already wouldn't you agree wildfire " Wildfire" I don't know what your implying, I think I find myself rather charming when I want to be" Rouge" keyword phrase "when you want to be" any other time your spitting fire at everyone even your own wife, Wildfire" I show a little animosity one time and suddenly I'm branded for life. second that was more because of you then her and given our past relationships I'm sure you understand" Rouge" please enlightening me darling , my memory isn't as sharp as it use to be crossing her arms Wildfire" when I found you in that ally way years ago, you bit my hand like an animal " Rouge" o o AH ah ah ah ?? really? you held on to that? no offense but maybe you should take the children's movies advice and "let it go" she laughed Alicia" oof come on rouge you know he had his reasons just like you " Wildfire" the fallen princess from her home from getting spoiled to stealing spoils we all had a long way to go , I hope the apply won't fall far from the tree " Rouge" she won't be overly spoiled like I was and another thing , I wasn't spoiled I just had my hobbies >w> " Wildfire" sure expensive gem collecting is such a classic hobby " Rouge" T T "

Darkfire" well I see your both getting along nicely, and welcome by the way " Rouge" the guest of honor~ I see <3 and there's our little golden goose l3 " Alicia" mhm ^^ its going to be even more busy once kathy gets here with he rk ids and then they can all gather around " Wildfire" which shouldn't be long, kathy loves to give me statues updates* showing his phone seeing all the messages from kathy* Alicia" shes through, nothing wrong with that <3 " Rouge" still color me alittle thrown back by the security , to get in here " Wildfire" jsut a few extra measures it all nothing too special " Rouge" never did I have to show ID for a baby gathering plus its rather pointless if you sound the VIP on the list " Alicia" why say that?"



suddenly kathy, knuckles ,sky, blaze, snowfall, and nova teleported into the room

Kathy" Hiiiii~ <3 " Rouge" because the girl can just invite herself by passing everyone" Wildfire" T T" Kathy" there is my doppo being a good father wrapping arms around him tightly kissing him on the cheek and our little marigold X3 bu bu bu buu~ * rubbing her cheeks ohh she looks so cute~ " Blaze" don't smother her too much kathy " Kathy" hey I've been holding back alot let me have just this little bit ~ " Wildfire" your amazing kathy Sky" its good to see holding up well darkfire , how is it being a parent? " Darkfire" well the last couple of days hasn't been easy but itsn ot hard either, but over all I'm taking it with stride* he smiled softly* Sky" hope your not worrying about too many things right?" Darkfire" if you mean the reaper stuff , no, I'm trusting your word on what you told me " Sky" good ^^



on the other side of the room kathy brought out kyle, kathlyen and placed them in aplay pin with ruby and marigold and snowfall



Kathy" squee oh look at everyone all here together, I'm getting flashbacks when nova and kiara were still babies ;w; " Nova" who would have thought it wasn't that long ago though" Blaze" it still feels like yesterday for me nova rubbing her head Nova" mhm...?! suddenly snowfall walked towards nova and blaze no-va no-va DX Blaze" we won't be far away snowfall play with the others and have some fun okay ^^ brushing him with her tail Snowfall" noms her tail for a moment... as they left the pin to sit by the couch that was a few feet away* Alicia" aww snowfall didn't wantto leave your side" Nova" snowfall has been getting too clingy at times > > we're hoping its jsut casue hes with me and mom 24/7 but being with others will curb that Alicia" well he is a baby and hes still growing nothing wrong with that, besides kathy carries her kids everywhere she goes xD" Kathy" not everywhere " Knuckles" just mostly" Kathy" XP hmmm " Wildfire" so who else should we be expecting" Kathy" well nicole, sonic and sally with there kids , to finally get a early viewing of our lovely handy work " Wildfire" oh yeah the musical thing, you guys actually went and did it " Sky" well it was gift for kathy it be sad if we didn't > >" Wildfire" wasn't it based on real events , I'm not sure make a theatrical play about it, is very respectful to those involved " kathy" its a story "about" everyone involved by one hedgehog's perspective " Knuckles" with come hijacked screen time " Kathy" shut up T T" Blaze" personally I think it came out fairly well , and who knows maybe we can create a part two at some point " Sky" well that would be something plus mos t of it would be in the soul kingdom" Kathy" should we get drako in on it l3 " Sky" yeah that will be in book three that I doubt will happen " Wildfire" so much drama to work with why write it you can record yourselves right now and makea piece about it "



( What are you doing /what are you doing here!! )



the doubt pitch in tone as you saw at the front tood as kathy mentioned sally, sonic nicole and the kids arrived while at the same time unfortunately neo and breeize showed up as well



Wildfire" see what I mean?" Breezie" of all places to see you this was last on the list " Sonic" not exactly thrilled either, faker " Metal" stuck in the past like always, I have moved beyond your feeble identity I am my own now " Kathy" teleports between them okay okay! I'm nipping this ina bud now, we're here to enjoy some relaxing time watch a movie we all worked on , and let the babies have some fun quality time together, O-K? I don't want to hear no fusing no musing , no bitching, no fighting got it? T T " Sonic" hey I'm here for all of the above I don't know about the robot duo" Metal" unlike you I pay respects to my new mother and my new flesh sibling "



Nova" (chibi) did he really have to say "flesh" sibling? " Nicole" I suppose this is why everyone talks of family reunions " Sonic" oh please " Sally" come no sonic lets not cause a commotion if metal man no harm he doesn't, hes not the same your use to you know, eulalie changed him completely " Sonic" sigh I'll take your word on it - - " Breezie" mhm, so nice to know your finally giving my man some respect , sadly I'm still little on the hot side with my own mother in law but maybe with the little ones around she'll be a bit softer XD suddenly in the distance you saw eulalie just glaring her down with daggers in her eyes seeing her holding metals hand tightly



Knuckles" yeah.. softer > > " Darkfire" h-hey! why don't I check on kitsuna in the kitchen and see if the parties favors are ready ^^ " Nova" I'm surprised to see you lot here " Sonia" manic is actually a fan of your dad's book but hes only really read the cliff notes online, so seeing on full display was something he was interested in " Manic" plus seeing dad act would be funny as hell XD " Nova" well I can hardly wait, !? by the way where the TV? or is it in a different room" Eulalie" oh thats, easy its right here~ clicking a button on the couch suddenly a panel in the ceiling opened up and a giant screen lowered down suspended in the air



Blaze".........I see you spared no expense " Eulalie" its amazing what you can buy with 30 million in the bank~ l3 " Wildfire" 20million right now, you invested 10 into medical robotics and children care donations " Eulalie" I have to give back to the people " ;w; " Kathy" also helping the children nothing wrong with that, Breezie" and if she needs funds I'm able to asist if needed , even if she doesn't want it " Eulalie" Hisssss" Breezie" love you too, mother " Sonic" heh and I thought you having an alien family was weird enough xD " Rouge" don't start with me, big boy crossing her arms ( could be worse if shadow was here ) rolling her eyes







moving on



outside the house, there was a security check like rouge mentioned earlier , with wildfire's men, the latest set of people that were left in was eulalie's family



Guard" go on ahead.. as she checked off another group off the list that arrived ... ( excuse me sir~ ) putting the clipboard down he saw keket in front of him hm?... wait a second I remember you you tried to pull a fast one of me at wildfire's estate! Keket" oh my I'm flattered you remember you you did such a good job she smiled Guard" listen what whatever you did last time it won't work! " Keket" alright fine I was a little cheeky last time, but I still was honest darkfire was expecting me to show up " Guard" well that case you can sit here until I get confirmation " pulling out his phone as he attemped to contact wildfire Keket" thats all fine and good~ in the mean time I'l lbe inside" Guard" fat chance your not getting through unless I say -* as he looked back up seeing keket was already gone* so!? WHAT where did she!?! * looking around" Damnit!!



on the couch



Sally" it was a problem early on but as they started to grew older it happened less and less, however when your in public and it happens its best to have padding even if can be annoying " Eulalie" there not even that big but I have to be on high alert because-* groans* its a pain = = Sally" chuckles its not forever don't worry xD " Eugene" theres my girl of the hour~ " Eulie" you guys made it XD " Julie" we didn't expect your gathering to be such a hot spot" Eulalie" well you know thanks tou the movie night we're having one thing lead to another " Jenny " your making me jealous not gonna lie" Eulalie" hugs jenny its good to see you again " Jenny" yeah same to you on my question is how did you get all this over night putting her in a arm lock Eulalie" hey it wasn't over night, and if anything give credit to darkfire XD " Eulalie" by the way I suppose I can introduce to everyone, starting off with have sally " julie&Jenny" sally!? Queen Sally?! " Julie" y-your highness its an honor to meet you >< " Sally" no need to be so formal I'm a guest here like everyone else " Jenny" what magic did you do , how are you getting royal gathers DX " Eulalie" hey I'm not trying for this okay m things jsut happen" jenny" sure, "just happen" Sally" life works in mysterious ways ,I've been at the head and at the tail end of it , I tell ya -w- " Julie " speaking of darkfire?" Eulalie" in the kitchen he should be back in a second"



meanwhile in the kitchen



darkfire was at the counter holding a cold wet cloth on his face



Darkfire"............" Kitsuna" you can not stay like that forever it is not healthy" Darkfire" I'm just trying to calm my nerves, I'm not good with crowds , I'm not a host, and I don't host parties this big, and somehow I'm in charge of all three DX Kitsuna" well things are going fairly well from my scans, everyone is at a 76% satisfaction rate " Darkfire" 76? what's the other 34% ?" Kitsuna" the other negative emotions are coming from-... >< wildfire I do not believe it is healthy to focus on the micro aspects of the parts, you should focus on what you were expect to do , which is present food and the movie when it is ready which should be very soon , since the last guests have jsut arrived" DArkfire" Ahhh right eulalies parents were last to show up and I haven't greeted them, wait! what about cleva and poison!? weren't they on the list?" Kitsuna" oh.. yes I seem to have made a error forgive me sir ;w; Darkfire" no I shoudl be keeping track, look set the party favors out for everyone and I'll get ready to- jsut as he was rushing back to the outside he immediately ran into keket ahh s-sorry ><" Keket" even at home you need me she smiled casully crossing her arms Wildfire" keket your here too?? " Keket" mhm, my baby girl senses were going off and I felt you needed some help~ patting his head " Wildfire"..babygirl... oh your talking about marigold right " Keket" mhm~ ( not really but I'll let him believe that ) ^w^ " Darkfire" luckily she has been alright most of the day, and so far getting along well with the others " Keket" see ou have nothing to worry about, don't worry my husband is a business investor and holds gatherings like this all the time~ wrapping her arm around him heres is the main thing you have to be concerned with, appear calm and in control , because at the end of the day, this is your home, you have full power, Wildfire" okay " Keket" second, no one has any need's for food and drinks, which you already have covered, Wildfire" heh.. yeah that is true" Keket" and lastly , the main event always has everyone attention which is easy because sugar butt has that covered~ " Wildfire" heh.. yeah.. yeah you right" Keket" clapping his cheeks see? your doing just fine~ so deep breathes and have fun and go showoff your daughter other wise kathy will start doing it for you" Wildfire" eheh... thats true xD thanks keket and thanks for coming too " Keket" its no trouble at all~ havinga soft smirk "



Kitsuna" taking the appetizer plates out for everyone TwT ( I believe shes getting "too" close to the master ) hmph "

with the kids



Manic" and I'm standing there holding a red cup; you see in movies and I'm standing there and I'm starting to black out " Nova" manic your not even old enough to drink " Manic" just roll with it, I was dead ass tired for mall the training, not drinking, so I'm standing there and I'm starting to black out and then suddenly someone said "something something legion" and in a brilliant moment of word association I yell out fuck the dark legion! and everyone else joined in" about 20 high schoolers yelling fuck the dark legion " Sonia" face palming it was suppose to be a simple after school party, I blame velvet if she hasn't pushed the organizers to make it a adult part bringing some beer some of the older kids wouldn't have gotten things crazy " Nova" well nova wants be more adult" Kaira" no she wants to "believe" shes an adult T T" Manic " so by then I got a bit daring and I decided you know what why don't I show off my dominance and I used my red form to make a skit in the gym room floor xD in the shape of an acorn first try I might add " Nova" interesting" Sonia" yeah then you slammed into the party table knocking the punch bowl on your head knocking you out " Manic" and then I woke up at home " Nova" anyone get in trouble?" Sonia" just the ones who brought the beer obviously" Khalon" and you say its never a dull moment with us :/ at least mom doesn't have the police showing up " Nova" what do you mean, kathy is the police laughs" Kiara" ha ha "



Knuckles" so how goes training with your son? " Sonic" been holding up pretty well, hows the progress for khalon?" Knuckles" going good , honestly isn't kind of weird talking to me when you got another knuckles here your friends with?" Sonic" nah not really I've met many different versions of my friends, its all good some friendlier then others " Knuckles" does aht include sally?" Sonic" other then the evil version sadly not much - - tell me have you had to deal with a robot version of me?" Knuckles" actually yeah, before kathy showed up in my life there was a metal version of you, cause d bit of havoc but nothing we wouldn't handle then the days kathy showed up, I don't know peave jsut sort of sweep the land not that I'm complaining " Kathy" ( yeah lets not question the fact your world was taken over but after I nuked it with the master emerald restoring everything as it should things became peaceful ^w^ and sky of that world was sacrificed ) havinga dark look in her eyes Knuckles " cherry?....cherry* nudges her* Kathy" huh wha?" Knuckles" you zoned out fora second" Kathy" o hyeah eheh sorry xD; he y look its kitsuna and my doppo <3 "



as kitsuna carefully placed the dishes down from meats, to pasta's to finger foods and desserts, alittle something for everyone to take what they like,, as everyone admiring the display nicole was busy wit ha holo screen in front of her



Nicole" good news everyone! the formatting is finally complete so the video is ready to be viewed whenever you are ready ^^ " Wildfire" thats great but poison and cleva aren't here yet " Eulalie" well no rush it wil lgive everyone time to enjoy the selections~ " Rouge" as much as I worked to lose weight I don't need to ruin my efforts > > " Kathy" oh don't be that way let your self have a night to indulge yourself" Rouge" all it takes is one day dear " Blaze" be glad you don't have a husband who loves to cook " Rouge" well its going all the right places isn't it " Blaze" not, all the time , its frustrating...



meanwhile from afar the play pin , snowfall was watching them from afar as he clenched on to the net expressing he wanted out, when suddenly as he turned around marigold had crawled towards him

Marigold" o o ... " Snowfall" looking back .. Marigold" nghhhh >< " suddenly marigold was flapping her wings harshly trying to fly , eventually she slowly starting to get airborne and at the same time she grabbed snowfall and while handing on to her he climbed up the net of the playpen and climbed over and quickly made there way down , with marigold almost softly crying from the strain Snowfall" presses his tail against her to make her feel better Marigold" -w- " Snowfall" purrs softly expressing some form of thanks , as the others kathlyen ruby and kyle were playing with a ball all noticed them outside of the pin* owo "



taking in there environment snowfall and marigold looked around , but she soon only focused on his tail grabbing it, for herself, while snowfall locked on where blaze was standing with rouge, he quickly started walking towards her but quickly enough stumbling and falling to the floor due to being weighted down by marigold holding on to his tail like a rope. he struggled pulling her dragging her a moment but visibly became frustrated hissing crying as he tried dragging her with him



Snowfall" no va... nova! " Metal" whats all this now, you two shouldn't out here as metal picked u marigold but her collar as well as snowfall shortly after . not even paying mind to metal as he arms reached out for her Snowfall" ;w; .....ahhh Ahhhh! " Blaze" ?!"



Metal" I believe he wants your attention, giving snowfall to blaze Blaze" snowfall? how in the world did you get out?? " Kathy" I saw it all, I wanted to stop the mbu t seeing them jsut it was too precious ;w; Rouge" precious or not kathy its not like -" Kathy" showing both of them images of what happened tell me this is not previous! tell me! showing them working together as they got out of the pin" Blaze"....sigh* alright to be fair.. > >" Rouge" thats adorable but still" Eulalie" My baby already knows how to fly <3 picking her up from metal's hands baby~ look at you already making waves kissing her lots and nuzzling her nice to see you keeping an eye on your sister l3 " Metal" they were quite obvious" Eulalie" well I say its a sigh I raised you well" Metal" hmmm " Marigold" ><...!!. ...=w= hmmm" Eulalie" ...* suddenly her snout scrunched up and looking at marigold* speaking of raising... I'll be right back doing a fast walk grabbing one of the spare diapers with her Blaze" the main phase sky was happen to get passed -w- " Rouge" what he always passed on changing nova?" Blaze" no no, he did it, but didn't stop him from disliking it however, and most of the time the maids were attentive so it saved him but , he answered the need if it was necessary " Metal" perhaps one of the advantages of being iron and steel " Rouge" still having to change your batteries though, mister iron and steel " Metal" hmph " Blaze" but now I believe someone needs to go back with the others as blaze took snowfall backto the pin and this time no more trying to get out ~ scratching his cheek love you,~ "



Snowfall" ;w; at that moment the other babies just rolled the ball towards him getting his attention to roll it back which worked as he started to play with the others



suddenly the last arrival showed up with was poison and cleva Darkfire" you guys made it! " Cleva" hello everyone I'm really sorry we're late we kind of had a few hiccups to deal with but we made it " Kathy" well better late then never ~ so now that everyone is here we can finally see my master piece l3 " Nova" didn't you say you had something you wanted to announce to everyone?" Poison" yeah we did but will save that till after the movie we don't want to take the gathering about us " Kathy" well its alright, if you wanted to say now so you don't forget " Cleva" no no believe us it won't be something that easily forgotten >w> " Poison" trust me it wil lbe worth the wait " Knuckles" it can't be a weeding proposal cause your already married " Cleva" it falls in that category but with alittle bit extra " Blaze" nudges kathy as she whispers you can read minds, what exactly re they hiding " Kathy" well I know it.. but I think its better to let them explain it but heres a hint poison is also royalty " Blaze" royal- o o so poison is prince" Kathy" yeah but l ike I siad thats only part of it , I won't spoil the rest" Blaze" o o ( he comes from a royal family and is working as a bounty hunter, but why?? )



Darkfire" still can't believe you had this thing in stalled * lookin at the TV" Eulalie" we are entertainers so its only natural " Darkfire" no were not DX" Wildfire" if it wasn't for your wife you'd probably still be in that small two story with the work ship" Darkfire" and is that so wrong? should we have to life large just for the sake of it " Alicia" dpeends on how you ask darkie" Jenny" hey I don't mind, it "



as everyone gathering around to watch the video sky was in the back wiht his arms crossed slightly Keket" and whats wrong mister reaper you've been the most quiet fro mmy perspective~ " Sky" oh hush I don't think many watch the media they ar e staring in I'm not that much of a narcissist that I like to look at myself " Keket" you put your heart into that biography didn't you and kathy brought it to life for the lot of you , think of this as something more for her then for you, you should enjoy it~ " Sky" your jsut happy cause you got toe terrorize everyone in a tongue in cheek way " Keket" and? you say that like its a bad thing ^^ " Sky" its amazing how far we've come hasn't it, one day we were trying to kill each other or you trying to kill us all and now were aboutot watch a musical starring our greatest moments " Keket" it goes to show you you never know what life will throw at you, you either bend like grass or snap like a twig, " Sky" mhm..." Keket" and I think you finally did what you always wanted, pushing her fingers on his chest you made a different for many people, your legacy is set in stone sh smirked before pushing off o him as she took her seat Sky" ( I could say the same thing about you killer but I guess we al lplayed our role real in this journey and looking back I think we all did pretty damn well given our starting cards~ ) as he sat down next to blaze as she placed snowfall in his lap ( its always funny imagining where life will go when you have no idea, but at the end of the day, we shoudl take it one day at a time and enjoy the moment for what its worth ) - -



shifting scenes

we cut to sky holdinga photot of everyone at the gathering with em movie



Sky(50s) " always only seems like yesterday " Snowfall" dad you said youwere ready to show me how to use that new technique " Sky" its funny your quick to nag me but you won't nag your sister! " Snowfall" she sucks at it , thats why! I need someone who can preform it well " Sky" so harsh, your just like your mother clothing the book alright alright I'm coming , you better have been keeping up the maintenance like I told you pushing his glasses up as he closed the photo book it had a pictures of sky, blaze and kathy on the front

Kathy" sooo... what did everything think~ " Rouge" I'll be honest dear, I was expecting it to be alittle off the cuff considering this was a musically based on real events, but some how you managed o make something worthwhile in the end" Nova " I enjoyed alot of the songs , more then I thought I would " Khalon" same something I'll be adding to my playlist xD" Sonic" for what it was worth it was a lot of fun , " Wildfire" not as cringe as I thought it was going to be " Poison" that means a lot coming from you " Kathy" relieved well . the dialog was a challange to work with, I know sky is probably happy knowing much of it remained intact " Sky" well yes but like you said it was hard working with some things, Alicia" I'll tell you what was hard, getting you lot to agree on the genre of music sicking in her seat both of you are SO damn picky, " oh I don't like type, " oh I thing this would work better" "why can you jsut go with what I feel works" , " this is too soft sounding" "this is too hard core" Ugghhhh! you ought to be happy I did this for free! " Kathy" okay, sorry you make it sound like I was a pain " Alicia" no offense kathy, I love you, but ..." Kathy" well I said you could do what was needed " Alicia" I did but your disapproval was always obvious "



flashback

Alicia" tapping her finger to a beat taken to the court, looking for support. I need ot know the best way we don't fall below... below... sigh its not flowing" Sky" taken to the court~ looking for support, we need to find the might to hold the fight or we die on the frontlines making a wish that just ends up sleeping with the fishes..! " Alicia" nghhh.... it works but just barely..." Kathy"... I guess.. " Sky" look its a transition we have to jump to the next segment we can cover it with the song if it flows " Alicia " fine, but I hate coverups, I'm just glad lupe was willing to work so well with her influence " Kathy" I know but I feel it could be better" Sky" kathy we have to move forward" Kathy" it needs to be perfect for senpia" Sky" "senpai" is not picky, we're short on time " Kathy" still half the hard hitters are some more of hip-hop and I'm not feeling it " Sky" its NOT hip-hop for the last..*Groans*! you are making this hard not everyone is gonna have orchestra "



as sky and kathy kept going back and forth as alicia just held her head

Alicia" ...@##$!!! Enough!! I'm artist here! I'm the genius! I make the music the lyrics, and the beat drop! its gonna be what I think fits wither you like it or not GOT IT! " Sky&Kathy"............."



end



Wildfire" the fact you got alicia to actually rage, is am achievement in itself he laughed Alicia" I'm not proud of it okay, I'm usually better then that but.." Kathy" its fine alicia we did act a bit hung up on what we fully wanted; looking back, but like you said it worked out in the end~ " Sky" hmhm, didn't stop you from yelling at me miss director " Kathy" look we both want the best and it has to be correct, perfect does not always mean being nice " Nova" ( sadly...) = =; "



Nicole" well I don't know about all of that but it was a joy from start to finish ^w^ the love, the passion the drama, even during the editing I couldn't help well up in tears over segments I had to listen to for clarity making sure they were perfect ;w; Poison" hearing sky sing was definitely something I never imagined xD " Sky " >///> " Poison" its not bad just you know, different " Sky" well some are better then others, why not have kathy edittion and we can have wildfire on stage" Wildfire" sure I'll do it" Sky" wait what?" Alicia" believe it or not wildfire can sing XD " Sky" bull-shit" Alicia" no lie " Sky" is there anything you can't do! " Blaze" your sounding little jealous "



Sky" I'm not jealous I'm jsut amazed that nothing... seems to bea road block for you..sorta of " Wildfire" I would say something but we have kids in the room, but I'm pretty sure you can imagine* he smirked* Alicia" I know I can l3 " Sonia" O-K I think thats our que to leave the room for the adults to talk * as sonia was the first to make her way to the kitchen" Manic" they didn't say anything weird whats your problem" Sonia" I read between the lies manic " Manic" jsut read what you see if what you should do" Sally" good grief - -" Sky" before the subject matter gets too far gone, poison, cleva you had something you want to announce?



Poison" oh right! um... > >; so umm we can have everyone attention as they stood up having everyone take notice to them in the room Poison" so with me and cleva being married I recently came to find m y parents and my family. I'm going to spare you alot of the details... but scratching his head I guess a roundabout way of saying it is.. I'm a demon " Sonic" so is keket but we still accept her" Kathy" ahahaha! XD oh your so "MeAn" as kathy put sonic in a head lock keket just likes to be vert dark with her themes and such and persona! gritting her teeth Sonic" DX!! " Keket" rolling her eyes < <;; "



Cleva" anyway, he is right, poison is a demon, specifically a lust demon Kiara" wait a minute a lust demon?! so that means hell really exists?! " Khalon" what about the other 7 cycles!? " Shard" what are the rules to get into heaven? " Alicia" have you met charlie? XD" Rouge" have you met God?" Poison" OKAY OKAY everyone stop! one thing at a time, first the demon realms are completely different to heaven and hell, we can't get there unless you actually die, second there are other realms for you know... the 7 sins; just to keep it simple, but each type is assigned there own realm, for example wraith demons and envy demons belong in there own circle and we're not allowed to crisscross unless its under extreme conditions" Cleva" we have a butler named Jalinx who is a wrath demon who helps his father and stuff " Sally" taking a deep breathe okay, I'll humor you, so does this make you a lust demon prince? " Poison" yes, and the reason I''m bringing all of to your attention is because my family may come visit more often or I will be away on business" Wildfire&Alicia" What kind of business~ appearing to be very interested" Poison" the fact that you both are in sync scares me " Wildfire" so maybe this would explain why I've been so enamored by you , so why not show us your true for m" Poison" ( can you not make it sound like I'm putting on a fucking show, for the sake of light gaia can you keep it in! ) Alicia" tail wagging " Poison " >///> " cleva" come on you've been practicing so you've gotten better so be proud and show off your royalty " Wildfire" yes your highness lets see those royal jewels l3 " Poison" Groans....* coming his face* cleva, wildfire your not helping at all " Khalon " can we not make this weird DX I wanna his demon form my brain is already writing stories to the point I can't think straight, bring me the inspiration! " Poison"......." Kathy" my boy's a comic book writer/ artist " Poison " and the only pure one in the room... anyway " after taking a deep breathe poison changed ot his demon appearance Everyone" !?" Sky" oh wow , so demons are true thing" Rouge" well I'm married to a half breed alien so nothing of off the table for me " Alicia" you have horns! XD Sky" its interesting that your demon but I don't really sense darkness from you" Poison" well again, demons and evil aren't synonymous we're jsut another race of people with specfic perks when it comes to life and death, but it don't go as far as well most would believe , if I were to explain it all would be here for hours " Wildfire" I can clear my calendar~ he smirked Alicia" I'll clear the bed ~ " Knuckles" keep it PG please " Kiara" its alright dad there no helping it at this point = = " Knuckles" still at least you r mother as been keeping it tame " Kathy" =///=;; " Knuckles" cherry? nudges her



Kathy" huh wha?... sorry alicia's and wildfire's thoughts are kind of making me a little dizzy I can't think straight" Eulalie" I'll be honest if I didn't see it I wouldn't believe it >w> Darkfire" and even my hooks I was born with I always thought I was the abnormal one, but I suppose everyone had something to deal with " Sonic" so what does this mean for the rest of us " Cleva" well we just wanted to let you know, and that we have little "watchers" that act as bodyguards for poison that tend to follow us here and there , but you can't see them unless your willing to sign a TOS " Rouge" demon contracts, now I've heard it all " Blaze" this is alittle unnerving knowing this, , tht its possible we are being watched all the time" Cleva" not all the time, jsut if we're close by is all " Manic" what do they look like, we don't have eye balls hovering everywhere do we ?! DX" Poison" no no nothing freaky like that " Keket" ( that's copyrighted by the way ) " Cleva" if jalinx find it okay they can appear to you all for jsut a moment " suddenly a slip of paper appeared Poison" he says only for this moment " as everyone looked around Breezie " and?" sky" ?! blaze? " Blaze" suddenly saw on her shoulder was this little black creature with two white eyes , they appeared to be the size of a feral mouse as it sat on blaze shoulder Blaze" what the!? brushing it off from sheer shock as it fell and hit the floor running away !?!"



suddenly for everyone they looked around them room and all the little black mice appeared randomly from on the furniture the tables the ceiling lights to some of there heads and shoulders



Nova" Demon dust bunnies they exist DX " Cleva" kind of cute name I won't lie" Blaze" they are everywhere! " Poison" they are harmless " Sonic" you sure, I see two of them fighting over a soda " Cleva" its fine taking one of them in her hand, clapping it between her hand (Boomf! ) suddenly its transformed int oa soft mist and reformed on t he top of her hands they can't hurt you nor an you hurt them unless they choose it, and they also like to interact with the world around them" Nova" I can contest to that fur noodle would be chasing them around my room sometimes " Poison" they hide from us but the feral world there more relaxed "



suddenly another note appeared times up* and suddenly all of them vanished from everyone's sight Alicia" aww there cute ;w; I want to see them " Wildfire" but why sign contract?" Poison" its just protocol " Darkfire" so um.. if your a prince then , how is the king?" Poison" changes back my father is surprising very chill the ones who work for him tend to keep things running in a orderly fashion and since I take the jbo seriously they are growing to like me more and more " Cleva" also kathy , I made a friend shes a baker like you and as her own shop I really think you would loveh er x3 " Kathy" awww yay X3 " Cleva" the only thing is shesa spider and spider help her bake" Kathy" X3 not yay. " Cleva" but " Kathy" no I will not be assaulted with my fear to that level DX " Cleva" but she has a pink and purple pastel and her own cups and dishes" Kathy" biting her lip Keket" oh someone as passionate as you when i comes to baking and loves your realm of colors, such a harsh dilemma l3 " Kathy" Shut. up. you are not helping! " Blaze" well poison I can honestly say I'm glad to see you taking your role as a ..."lust demon" with stride and there is no real dangers in our hands, I jsut hope you won't judge us for being too standoffish regardingthe nature and concept we've grown up with" Posion" its completely understandable, all of this was more of an FYI for everyone " Cleva" and I'm gonan be a lust demon queen and now Ican invite you al lto the demon realm when we have our coronation ceremony XD " Kathy" welp, congrats love you both for it , send me pictures " Cleva" but kathy I was hoping-" kathy" well kids we better get going I have to get food ready for the animals and the twins need to put down for a nap- " Cleva" but~ " Kathy" byeee~ <3 ( Vosh!) as she teleported everyone out Blaze" I never sen e kathy dash from a gather that fast" Cleva" but I want her to come ;w; " Poison" she'll come around " Poison" well in the mean time giving sky and blaze an invite I think it s obvious your welcomed " Sky" thank you but how will we even know when or how to get there" Poison" when the day draws close will give you a heads up "



Knuckles" but kathy" No No no no, no, no, no, no, no I know she wants to invite but I refuse I'm sorry " Khalon" but mom the demon realm I wanna go see " Kathy" you are more then welcome I'll stay here and watch the house in a "bug free" environment " Kiara" you didn't seem to mind the demon dust bunnies as nova called them" Kathy" there cute I don't mind, its just... sigh out of everything why spiders " Knuckles" would you prefer centipedes " Kathy" one more word and your sharing a bed with snowy! as she stormed upstairs Khalon " I wonder what the other demon realms are like .w. " Kiara" it sorta of makes our world so much smaller when you think about it " Knuckles" the more you know " "



to be con.

as we give them a bit of a break let return back to magnika and silver



at the dinning table



it was breakfast time and magnika was starting look more relaxed as her old self again

Silver" sooo.... since you spent some days sleeping and nothing else > > how are you feeling?" Magnika" well at least I can think straight again, I'm just a little sad kathy had to put me in a coma for me to really rest " Heartha " I think it was necessary dear, you could hardly function.. it was nothing but hover ball this and hover ball that I'm almost glad your retiring after this game " Magnika" eheh... yeah um...yeah" Heartha" don't get me wrong you on your last game and one away from the championship win , I understand much is riding on it but please your not the team captain, let her handle that and converse with the coach , you and sora have a great synergy and as long and you both on on the field and have your own game plan you should be just fine" Silver" see heartha makes a good point ^^ " Magnika" hmhm~ yeah your right she chuckled softly so what happened while I was out of it " Silver" well your mother taught me how to weed a flower garden without hurting the flowers " Heartha" he kept trying to use his powers and I told him some thing can only be done by hand TwT " Basil " even though it would be faster he laughed Heartha" its about efficiency not being fast " Magnika" well it does take patience I will say that xD " Silver" so with that being said , kathy gave me a suggestion of where to take you to really give you the time you need to relax and revitalize yourself before the big game " Magnika" and that is?" Silver" handing her a pamphlet its some kind o fa resort in the sol kingdom its half way in the ocean so half the building is underwater, you get a complete view of the ocean , seeing the sea life, in the restaurant, great food, and even the the salon has much to see , kathy told me you were a big fan of thi s stuff and if you ever needed some time to get away this was the best way" Magnika" ahaha~ well she does know me well and your right , looking at the pictured wide eyed with joy so when do we leave?" Silver" today the sooner you get to rest up the better ^^" Magnika" I feel kinda of bad getting this on my own what about sora would she want to go?" Silver" I asked her and she said hard pass, shes aqua-phobic " Magnika "wha? but I remember she said she loves to swim" Silver" yeah , but surrounded by ocean and under water like this places is she said no it would be too much " Magnika" aww ;w; " Heartha" well more time for you and silver, and besides I'm sure tumble can keep her busy ^^ " Magnika" hard to believe she would see something in him > >" Heartha" well its not official yet but I see them gelling nicely Basil" and you'd be surprised some relationships start off rough but iron out over time " Magnika" how often does that even happen" Basil" well you and silver were on the verge of breaking off but you managed to come together didn't you " Heartha" not really a good example love.. " Basil" I'm just saying is all " Silver" well it was more on me then her, I'm only glad I was able to salvage it quickly " Magnika" mhm and after the winning game, will be walking down the aisle " Silver" blushes lightly maybe treat this light the honeymoon before the wedding xD" Magnika" so what we're being little premature" Silver" I think thats your whole motto at this point" Magnika" ohhh your one to talk xP you jump the gun more times then I care to count" Heartha" come now kids don't fight, xD, now magnika you should get your things packed if your gonna be off for your little relaxing trip " Magnika" totally * as she got up from the table" lets make this a good one x3 "



that following day



Blue Coral resort*



outside the main entrance the place was busy with tourism, silvering wearing a hawaiian shirt while magnika was colorful pink crop top with vine sleeves and a shirt that looked like giant leafs sown together that extended to passed her knees, walked up to the front



Silver" hello we're here to check in for a two night stay? Clerk" whats the name?" Silver" silver" Clerk" silver,,,,?" Silver" just silver " Clerk" sir there are many with that name Silver hawthorn, Silver Crablon , Silver crystal..... " Silver" groans come on my name cannot be that common DX " Magnika" lets try a different way, do you have dates when appointments were made?" Clerk" yes" Magnika "when did you make the appointment?" Silver" it was yesterday morning " Magnika" can we check al lthe appointments from yesterday morning?" Clerk" lucky for you there was only two, and the former was just checked in, which only leaves one" Silver" yes DX thank you thats probably us " Clerk" perhaps next always leave a last name " Silver" thank you = =; as they were given there room key " Magnika" you amaze me you know that " Silver" how was I suppose to know that would happen " ( Silver?? ) suddenly hearing a voice vall out and looking across the lobby it was nova and niyako "



Nova" magnika " Magnika" nova I haven't seen you in while , you've really grown up since I last saw you XD" Nova" come on it hasn't ben e that long she chuckled so what brings you here? I thought you had your last game to be preparing for " Magnika " > >"

Silver" well she was but the stress was leaving her in a not good state of mind so hshes here to relax as much as she can " Niyako" basically me before a presentation" Magnika " believe me I know I can do it I'm just.. over thinking " Nova" no we understand, there is still much of the sol kingdom niyako hasn't seen and my mom suggested us coming here for a weekend ^^ " Niyako" plus I've been a big fan of your interior designs and this place is beautiful" Nova" hes like a kid at a theme park~ " Niyako" hoy! >///< " Nova" ahah xD " Silver" well we've love to stay and chat but we have to get unpacked" Nova" no worries, don' t forget to check out the gift shop~ * waving them on "



Magnika" they look cute together don't they"

moving along they make a quick stop at there room dropping there suit cases when suddenly

Magnika" they have fish tanks built into the walls! <3 ;w; Silver" they even had water beds but that was more money, and I didn't think you'd go that far " Magnika" as much as I liek the idea I was always scared of it bursting she laughed* this really is a sea fanatic's dream vacation spot as she walked out the balcony, and looking out across the sea they hada clear view of the castle ion the horizon. silver walked up behind her taking her hand softly Magnika" I almost feel like I'm celebrating prematurely being here , like I haven't really earned it in a way > > " Silver" magnika its was 5 weeks of game after game after game and your team pulled through each one, hell your last one was ended on a tie breaker, " Magnika" heh don't remind me I think I passed out at the victory party " Silver" you did, sora and I took you home, your mom first though you got drunk "

Magnika" ahaha nope just incredibly tired xD" Silver" hmm... you've been doing great maggy . just hold strong , and don't forget wither you win or lose , we're stil lgetting married, and it wil ljsut be the icing on the cake when you said what you wanted as you r victory gift " Magnika" blushes heavily as she leaved her head on his shoulder mhm..." Silver" so we will still have plenty planned for the day~ so lets not miss out on anything ^w^ " Magnika" clenching his hand tightly y-yeah, and silver one last thing, I know when I made my little conditions at the beginning of all of this, looking back I feel like I was too harsh and I wasn't being fair, you work hard to protect your timeline and such your..well you always are hard at work meanwhile I jsut have my family and my flower shop " Silver" I like it like this" Magnika" hm? " Silver "everything I've done in my time was out of obligation and protecting people from the threats that loomed, even killer being one them, even if she wasn't doing anything, its all I knew and it became me in a way. you know that saying keeping your work life and home life apart? well I had only one and knew nothing else, but here I was finally able ot make a home life. and I'm sure you wouldn't want someone in your life that doesn't know how to relax rubbing his head



Magnika" well..a bit but it wasn't really your fault you know? and you made the effort you made the change and now look at you ^^ " Silver" I'm surprised nova didn't take a crack at me trying to find out who caused the future's ruin like everyone else usually does" Magnika" you know nova doesn't feel that way towards you, blaze > >....maybe I still remember kathy don't me you shot her through a store window years ago" Silver" she won't let that go?!" Magnika" you threw her through a window , how do you let that go? :/ " Silver" I apologized didn't I? " Magnika" you naive child I swear kisses him lovingly anyway we have a market place to see , mom said she wanted tropical flowers and she'll get them xD " Silver" heh~ "



suddenly in the sky a robot bird was hovering over head as it was eyeing both silver and magnika,, quickly the bird flew back down to its owner on a ship docked at the harbor a pirate captain, withs a small group of shipmates



Captain" is that her " Shipmate" shes the only echidna around it has to be her, " Captain" points for trying to remain in disguise but we see beyond the vale , now remember , this place is busy no hustle and commotion we keep it simple and quiet, no unessaery tactics and will have a bounty for a life time " ( yes captain)





moving along



with in the towns market place of light coral , silver and magnika were already busy enjoying themselves in the market, stopping by the produce markets haing flowers and seeds magnigka had already purchased a few assortments of seeds for flowers native to the land



Silver" you know I thought this was suppose to be a vacation for you, not a shopping trip for your mom" Magnika" I know , I know but the sooner I get these flower seeds for her and for the ship the freer my time will feel. plus I don't want to forget and come home empty handed" as she just paid for another back of flower seedlings Silver" I can't imagine she would throw a fuss if you did" Magnika" she wouldn't openly but growing up if you did something she didn't like, she would igive you the worst side-eyes imaginable she will make you feel guilty if you didn't , I hated it so much she shivered ;e; " Silver" > > I suppose I'll take your word on that" Magnika" good, also I'm sorry but I have to say it feels amazing paying everything with gold coins, I know its the common currency here but I can't help but feel rich with it XD" Silver" heh then how do you think your sister feels dropping gem stones everywhere " Magnika" sigh shes a rich bitch what can I say, plus her castle is nearly finished " Silver" oh yeah.. forgot about that, you know is is fair to say all her wealth and such came from knuckles? " Magnika" by that you mean?" Silver" well hes the guardian of the master emerald most of the gems she gets comes from the island self she either finds or gets from the caves right? so they belonged to knuckles if he owns the island " Magnika " well > >... maybe on a technically? but whats your point? and don't forget there treasure hunters" Silver" I'm just saying credit where credit is due , unless she wants to admit knuckles is her sugar daddy as she would say " Magnika" >w> " Silver" all the animals he lets her keep the renovations hell even the castle, knuckles could be fitting the bill more then her but since she does so much for him, he lets her have whatever she wants "



Magnika" stops and what are you implying that shes does for him T T " Silver" having a big family that's something I'm sure he would want right? I don't mean this as shade towards kathy" Magnika " its just how your saying it that makes it sounds like it is, keep in mind my sister is also the guardian of the city, in some ways she has had a joint partnership with him since day one before they even got together. and as for the treasures on the island its free gain since they are the ones in charge.... " as magnika continued silver noticed a robotic seagull standing by the stand starring at them Magnika" my sister worked like a dog for everything she has so please just mindful how you words things... silver? " Silver" has they seagull always been staring at us?"



Magnika" seagulls are weird maybe you should pay no attention cause they think you have food " Silver" no seriously I feel like we're being watched, by the robot ones anyway" MAgnika" its fun fluffy plus robots are more common now there called beast units, I'm getting alittle jealous myself, I want one my self, maybe a cheetah or a snake, or ahaha I could get a robot spider XD kathy would hate me forever " while magnika was imagining different robot pets silver noticed the number of birds was increasing as they walked Silver" I think we need to go! Magnika" wha? wha- whoaaoaa! silver picked up magnika using his esp as they flew through the air as an air gear level dashing through the crowds of people ( silver put me down DX )



as silver tried to get some distance looking back the cluster of seagulls were following them from a higher distance eventually stipp stopped at a cross road where he decided to fly up in the sky pulling of a windmill blade from a nearby windmill and as he started to spin it like a fan blade faster and faster her launched it towards the cluster of birds Destroying them one by one Silver" that wasn't too hard" ( SILVER!!) from the sound of her voice silver looked down adn magnika was trapped inside what looked like a giant bubble that was carrying her away as much as she tried to break it was it wasn't happening* eventually magnika was being carried off over the ocean to sea while silver tried to follow suit but the seagulls were busy trying to hold him back until another cluster engulfed him GET OUT OF MY WAY! catching them all in his power he dunked them under the water*



eventually they reach a pirate ship a island away from coral light island, magnika was gentally hovered down



Magnika" I'm warning you my sister isn't gonna be happy about this! " Captain" you can drop your facade kathy " Magnika" what? " Captain" that energy bubble cuts off any connections to the outside, with it your my prisoner, but if you play nice we both can get what we want "* says the seagull captain standing before his crew* Magnika" wha... who did you call me?" did you call me kathy " Captain" I thought I said I'm not playing your game, you think changing your fur to blue would fool everyone else but it hasn't fooled everyone " Magnika" ha hah... Ahah I'm not my sister! we don't even look the same! Shipmate" to be fair she is sort of right wasn't kathy a bit chunkier then her? " Captain" chaos energy can fool you in many ways, but perhaps she went the extra mile and wore a corset" Magnika" @w@....... I'm wearing a mid rift top and a leaf skirt you dumbasses! also shes blind, I can see you just fine T T " Captain" you can get colored contacts where" Magnika" why would she feel the need to play dress up this badly to have a vacation anyone who messes with her has a deathwish " ( Rummbbbllling!) Everyone" !?!" suddenly the entire ship was lifted out of the water and looking into the sky was silver



Silver" if not a death wish from kathy, its gonna be one from me if you don't give my wife back! " suddenly the captain opened up his coat realing a cluster of cybernetic birds flying out that surrounded the ship and silver alike



Captain" your little bodyguard hasn't seemed to catch on to the hitn that little acting is over! and just to make my point clear this bubble cuts off her power from the rest of the world, and I know shes helping many too many to have that happen, os what will you do force yourself a fight and risk the danger of many or stand down ! "

Magnika" I'm not...*oh for fuck sake... " Silver" wait you think shes kathy?" Captain" who else would I got out of my way for!! contact the king give my demands and she will be eturned safely with no harm done" " Silver" ........* looks at magnika confused as to what to do* Magnika" ..* shrugs* alright what are your demands" Captain" I wan the blueprints to the beast unit designs and 4 million gold that shouldn't be too hard" ( Voshh!!)

suddenly a letter appeared in front of the captains face as he grabbed it



Kathy" yeah I would come can rip your ship apart but I'm busy, so you'll have my husband to deal with also hes not happy with you calling me fat, so have fun, Kathy" Captain" why put your husband at risk as well bringing him here won't make that much of a difference and I'm going to show you why right now snapping his fingers suddenly the birds flying in a cluster all came together in front of silver forming a giant blanket of spikes as it tried to eat him in way but silver had to avoid it while at the same time trying to keep the ship in the air Silver" dam nit this is not how I wanted to spend my day " Captain" its your choice surrender and I'll call them off or you'll become bird food! " ( tap tap tap~!) suddenly the captain looked behind him and in a second he was punched square in the cheek sending him flying off the ship through the sky into the ocean ( WHAM!!) as the other shipmates watch in shock seeing knuckles standing there*



Knuckles " that was for my wife calling her fat! and "this" is for trying to kidnap my sister in law in one punch knuckles slammed down on the deck of the ship as his strength broke the ship in half while at the same time the bubble burst as well the robots fell off the captains control saving silver as he quickly caught her in that air



Silver" thanks for the help " Knuckles" its no trouble give me regards to nova and the others" Magnika" can do ^^ wrapping her arms around silver tightly also can we get back down I have my limits with heights and I think we're at that level shaking a bit Silver" what about the pirates are we just gonna leave them?" Knuckles" seeing in the distance soldier ships were coming towards them* I think the law enforcement got it handled " Magnika" <///< it was pretty hard core how you just lifted the whole ship out the water not gonna lie >w> " Silver" well I have my moments *smirks* " Magnika" *nuzzles him having a soft smile * <3





a bit later



magnika and silver a sat down at the resort's buffet inside the resort taking in the pleasantries , as magnika sat down a variety of sushi and fish, but still having her hand over her head rubbing her temple tiresomely



Silver "* something wrong? love I thought you be showing down by now? taking his seat as well Magnika " I know, I'm just still dumbfounded by the fact he really thought I was kathy, I mean no offense to my sister but we're not the same we aren't even blood related, I really want to say its specieist to a degree " Silver" I do kind of agree with you there but he did say you could have did a bit of a make up act and colored your fur differently " Magnika" still she has red highlights I have green I'm alittle taller then her DX and well.. slimier > > " Silver" we could discuss it from the mom and back and never know " Magnika" I guess using her hand as a head rest as she forked a piece of catfish with a small sigh Silver" the important thing is your safe I whither he thought you were her or not I wouldn't let him hurt you or use you for... what did he want again? Magnika" blueprints for the beast units " Nova" silver magnika! are you guys okay DX * suddenly nova came running towards them " Magnika" hey nova are you okay?" Nova" I'm okay? re "you both okay, I jsut got the message really late about what was going on I'm sorry we couldn't be there sooner to help" Silver" how would you have known?" Niyako" nova's phone as a bit of a alert when the local beast units go off if pirates attack the city so if we're near by we can help out if possible " Nova" yeah and you guys are at the thick of it and I couldn't do anything ;w; Magnika" its okay nova don't feel too bad about it at least silver and knuckles were able to handle it in time and on top of the fact they weren't they a bright" Nova" still they were they were a class 3 threat , plus wanted for trafficking during the black guard pirates reign , at least from what the royal station told us " Magnika" you guys can't be every where at once . you were here to relax "



Niyako" still but in any case glad to know your okay ^^ " Nova" by the way, we're looking forward to your game this weekend will be there cheering you on hugs her tightly good luck and dad said tell you your trip is on us as waved her hand as both of them headed off to there own table Magnika" but...but! - oh for goodness sake I haven't even won yet and I'm getting showered" Silver" well it shows everyone has faith in your team winning" Magnika" yes, no pressure at all DX Silver" eheh you can't help but feel the support can you he chuckled "



Silver" but that knuckles said kathy but busy , what was she busy with" Magnika" probably the musical that right around the corner for her birthday, its gonna be huge I can promise that -w- Silver" I've never seen a musical before, I've heard alot about them in the past so I guess this would be a my first " Magnika" they don't have any in the future? Silver" well there called holo-theater data projections that enact stories from the past or from history " Magnika" what about actors and actresses? Silver" the art is very niche right now, given the state of the world or at least when I grew up but now that things are better I'm hoping the craft can soon be restored ^w^ but since well I'm here with you in your time I can enjoy it in all its glory as it was meant to be " Magnika"....* fidgeting with her foot a bit* you know silver sometimes I kind of take for granite all the thing were weren't able to experience, musicals , movies, games, events , everything here is probably so foreign to you its almost magical in a way "

Silver"why do you think I felt so bad when I dropped the ball so much for you and others, I never grew up with any of those things, I never got to know what it was like , but now I do and I want to love them just as much as you do ^^ and all I can do is thank you and kathy for showing the mall to me, hell I don't even know what a wedding really is like , only from stories I feel kind of embarrassed talking about it like this xD " Magnika" ....... ;w;... asa shadow covered her eyes she reached over grabbing his hands well I promise you it will be jsut as good as the stories possibly even more in person and some " Silver" wh- why are you crying though o o " Magnika" rubbing her eyes I'm sorry its just.. me wiping her eyes thank you silver for everything really" Silver" thank you too maggy for everything hehe now lets enjoy ourselves okay no more tears wiping her eyes with a napkin himself " Magnika" sure ^^ at that moment one of the serves was refilling one of the bins at the tables that looks like something rather unusual *



Magnika" OwO are those jellyfish cakes?! " Silver" .w. I didn't even know you could eat jellyfish" Magnika" certain ones yes , I'm going to get some~ you'll love it! " Silver" !? I don't want to eat a jellyfish DX " Magnika" you'll love it I promise! Silver" m-amaggy! ughhhh sinking down in his chair I don't want to eat a jellyfish " " Magnika" just think of a chewy pastry~ <3" Silver" nghhh >< his ears lowered "



returning to nova and niyako's table



Niyako" hey don't beat yourself up too much , they said it was alright right? " Nova" still it was crazy just straight up out of no where" Niyako" well they were kind of stupid to try and pull a stunt like that to be fair" Nova" & sigh* I'm just glad no one really got hurt but... I don't know maybe I am expecting too much out of me" Niyako" you are, you and your mom said it yourself, what kathy does is kind of special where she appears on a dime, you guys can't do that but you shouldn't expected too, and if you could, I think people find you more scary then anything else " Nova" a little too good at your job kind of thing?" Niyako" uh-huh reminds me of the police in shang-tu, the message system was so instant due to there magic said there was a robbery like in the arcane city on the other side no one new about it but you , you told one of the guardsmen they would contact them in a second and forces would already be tracking them " Nova" yeah that is a little.. too on the noise " Niyako" most people loved it, others felt like they were being watched 24/7 I think there is a small gap between protection and being monitored " Nova" * drinking her soda I think so too, I think thats why dad made the beast units individual bots and not interconnected because having them as a universal security system would have been easy Niyako" nodding* ..." Nova" you know I remember my dad thought at one point maybe conquering and being in control would keep everyone safe and solve some isssues we had wit the pirates , but king drako changed his mind , if he hadn't the kingdom your in might have been turned into the sol empire " Niyako" his ears folded back now that sounds alittle scary xD; could you see your dad as a warlord? " Nova" my dad no, my mom?...maybe.. but then again I see how they both keep each other from going over the edge into something neither of them was suppose to be - -. I know I go overboard myself but, I just want my family safe I don't think thats asking for alot is it?" Niyako" no but I remember something my uncle told me when I was in one of my moods when I missed my mom. " sometimes bad things happen, and you can do anything about it, you have to prepare yourself when they happen, instead of running from them , running will only make it more painful when it happens" Nova" thats nice..." Niyako" his..basic point was, love and cherish the people around you while you can, because eventually they will end up leaving could be today could be tomorrow but it will happen , " Nova" well I know that, but I don't want any premature situations"



Niyako" fair, sorry to get alittle dark on you " Nova" no its fine I think I go far myself but not everyone fully is open to the idea of killing even if it is for everyone's sake " Niyako" ............." Nova"..........." both of them were caught in a awkward silence for a moment given the tone shut

Niyako " shifting gears for a moment cleva and poison were talking about embracing more of poison's family customs and tell him if I'm wrong on this but poison is a lust demon right? Nova" I've heard tidbits about it but he never talks about his family side more , so hes gonna bring in more of his demon stuff into her life" Niyako" well high chance of cleva being a lust demon queen and given her thing with spiders and her exosuit becoming more and more advance I'm almost scary to say its rather fitting XD" Nova" I don't think she wants to be known for her spiders " Niyako" she has a friend whos a baker and is a spider, her spiders help her cook" Nova" interesting > > " Niyako" the reason I'm saying this is because there butler; yes they have a butler now is going to slowly having waves of keeping an eye on them while they are here, and especially if the family is going to cross back and forth more and more "



Nova" in what ways? " Niyako" hmm well little demons running around > >" Nova" eh?!" Niyako" there harmless! there harmless! just you know something to keep watch here and there, you can't see them unless you agree to a TOS " Nova" so they would be around us right now and I wouldn't know it ?? , that bad enough knowing I can't sense dark energy! " Niyako" well demon and darkness are two different things there not evil " Niyako" well what else do you expect when you hear demon XP " Niyako" so yeah, since me and cleva work on projects and shes relatively a mentor of mine I felt it was only right I kind of signed it cause you know I trust her and everything and I was going to ask if you want to, cause there kind of cute in a weird way " Nova" ..hmmmm shaking her head please don't make curious, please don't make me cur- o o



at that moment nova had a some calls backs to weird behavior from comet and fur noodle, while he was on the computer she would see them stalking and running round the room as if they were chasing something ( Nova" noodle, has the zoomies again xD " Kiara" has ther alot doesn't he?" Nova" I know right lol ) *



Niyako" you okay?" Nova" I'm.. truly tempted to say I'll sign but if I hate it I can't complain can I" Niyako" if poison or cleva are anywhere near by they are around, if there not around you won't really see them" Nova" cleva" welll... cleva works at the castle so of course there going to be around they could be in my bath for all I know DX niyako was softly chuckling why are you laughing?" Niyako" I eheh kind of have one of them with me and he feels bad your venting about them XD" Nova " great now I have to feel bad " Niyako" listen don't mind them they stay out of your fur most of the time anyway , " Nova" hmmm its still odd though , being connected to a demon realm " Niyako" hey I had to accept the fact my girl friend can transform into a fire god just like her mother on top of being part of a family line of reapers , I think nothing is off the table at that point" Nova" fair point scratching her head ... alright, but I want to talk to cleva about these "demons" first T T" Niyako" your gonna be blown away from how they actually look I promise you that, poison says it was his mothers idea " Nova" okay, how would you describe them" Niyako"........demon dust bunnies " Nova" dust bunnies?" Niyako" thats what I think of when I see them " Nova" rolling her eyes I'll take your word for it. ?! so cleva is gonna be a lust demon queen "

Niyako" spider queen " Nova" sure why not okay maybe lets try to have nice topics so I can eat soundly" Niyako" looking towards the TV looks like the wave bike races are starting"





back in mobius



we cut to rouge sitting at the dinning room table with ruby looking a bit solemn with ruby just sitting there with her , as rouge had the tip of her wings out as ruby was tugging on it playfully



Ruby" ahhh xD" Rouge" hmm..( at least your having fun dear.. ) Midnight" mom are you alright? I thought you would be a bit more cheerful since you got ruby back from kathy " Rouge" yes, and I am, but it doesn't not ignore the had I feel like I'm falling a bit short in some places, and even if I have more confidence in dealing with yube , maybe I feel like its a black mark on my reputation" Midnight" do you think, maybe... you looked up to kathy as an ideal mother type and how your handled yube might make you feel a bit bad in her eyes, even if she never really held it against you that harshly?" Rouge" sigh maybe.. or I'm being too hard on myself, I never said I was perfect" Midnight" no one said you had to be either, I mean you care about us, you love us, and you try to raise us like your own and at least in my book that enough leaning his head against hers as he wrapped his arm around her Rouge" thank you midnight that certainly means a lot from you to hear she smiled softly " Midnight" pulled up a chair sitting beside her so how did the acting lessons go? " Rouge" acting..*she chuckled* .. well a little reenacting here and there and I think I can play the part well, although after reading the scenes I've notice kathy was taking a bit of a liberates like any director does " Midnight" everyone tends to talk about artist types, Rouge" more like a visionary, I'd hate to ask for you to baby sit again but kathy asked for some of us to do a bit of a practice run tomorrow " Midnight" to be fair I'm somewhat looking forwards to this, I want to see how everyone is going to be reenacting there past selves " Rouge" T T you say that like its going to be a comedy fest T T " Midnight" think about it, sonic acting like his younger self , hes more playboy persona behavior, shadow his edgier times , and possibly nova's dad being the same only twice as bad, I only know cause I've read the book " Rouge" its not going to be a one to one " Midnight" I think that's a good thing, because I don't think cody and velvet want to see sonic making out with fiona in front of tails he laughed as he walked to the fridge Rouge" = = nice to see you adopted father's sarcasm, but jokes aside I have faith in her vision and I think its going to go smoothly, shes even gotten honey to work on the outfits which I was blessed with a preview of and honestly I'm in love ^w^ " Midnight" well it will certainly be something for the ages "





acorn castle



auditorium



Chuck" in all my years never did I think I would be a stage manager for a children's play" Shard" what your wording gramps you don't want kathy on your hide " Chuck" what what else am I suppose to call it, showtime theater? everyone here has as much experience in theater as a chicken knowing how how to roller skate, I don't care how well you try to teach it before hand " Shard" well this is for her birthday, and its suppose to be fun for everyone " Chuck" fun, all I'm gettin are flashback from that play for the kids we did back in the day - -" Shard" you said the kids loves it " Chuck" yea the young'ins loved it but the cast not so much, the difference here is that we got a women who loves to sing trying to direct a bunch misfits to preform " Shard" hey if anything it will make a good holiday home movie for the kids xD " Chuck" if anything I love her energy , and youth. it be great to have half of that again - - " Shard laughing softly to himself as he finished prepping the sandbags sometimes there nothing wrong with taking it slow old man"

(Vosh)



Kathy" *with a mega phone and directors hat" OKAY EVERYONE A FEW MORE SCENES WE WILL PRACTICE BEFORE THE BIG DAY SO LETS GET OUR KEY PLAYERS ON SET! KEY WORD ON "PLAYERS" "



Knuckles" who's idea was it to make that women director " Julie-su" the same one who's idea it was to get everyone to preform like this " Sky" don't be mean guys , it her for her birthday" Julie-su" why are you dressed like metal sonic?" Sky" since kathy couldn't get her hands on metal to be part of the play without getting breezie involved I'll be doubling at him for this part, Knuckles" imposter syndrome at its peak " Sky" don't remind me T T, but its better then giving it to shadow I think that would have been more insulting , plus its just for fight sequences anyway " Knuckles" sooo.. should we call you metal sonic sky, or sky metal sonic " Sky" don't! push me knucklehead! " Julie-su" XD"



Lein-da " so what else can we add to your belt guardian, mage, baker, business tycoon now what theater director?" Kathy" and soon to be queen l3 " Sally" to be fair its alittle scary how many bases your covering, its almost alittle= " Kathy" scary? " Sally" I I was going to say, unrealistic but that works to " Bunnie" hey, sugar-vine manages to strike lighting in a bottle I say run with it, besides I haven't had this much fun since antoine decided to be the schools caterer last summer XD " Sally" wasn't that the time he nearly lit up the whole night sky with firework? " Bunnie" nah sally-girl that was two summers ago when he turned a campfire into a bonfire, the school summer fest he made iconic fruit smoothies for everyone, I got be a little festive ~ handing out drinks for the kids, hamlet didn't exactly ,approve wanting me to change >w> " Kathy" ahhh yeah I remember that , and I was about to turn him into porkchops cause it called my summer outfit for you slut wear ^^ " Bunnie" then antoine comes in and curses him out so badly in french saying things I dare not repeat he backed off she burst out laughing Sally" sigh if I could get that old pig off the board I would = = crossing her arms as she sighed " Kathy" some people just like to be road blocks I guess = = "



Kathy" tsk.. I know right.. mega phone OKAY BATTLE SCENE 8 SCENE ONE ANNNNNN ACTION!



sonic and sky were on set with sky as metal sonic, as th e music began to play



Sonic" looking for a rematch~ heh can't said I'm surprised, egghead never knew when to quit sky rushed him as sonic started to circle around a cheap fake , something that's easy to make, factory supply might as well be an easy-bake keep'em com'in, no sweat no shake'n'bake cause the rotten egg can only make cheap fakes (Cheap fake, cheap fake) I'll be looking for some cake once I get back in less time it takes to bake one "



Sky" ( oh please... ) "

as the fight scene finished, sky turned towards sonic form the i the air firinga laser gazing his arm Sonic" ><!! "

Kathy" CUT! Perfect! I swear sonic you almost scared for a moment you were off key with the music but you kept it going, , and sky and you stop showing your visual disdain for the scene itself T T " Sky" I told you a helmet would have been good but you siad no it would look too fake " Sonic" plus I think he likes giving me the evil eye anyway " Sky" T T " Kathy" sigh whatever okay time for the ladies to get on stage~ <3 Sally" nicole try not to over play certain things please " Nicole" I promise X3 "





a bit later blaze and killer arrived on the scene, only killer was as her disguised self, keket , blaze , nova and niyako spotted kathy sitting in the directors chair while, while keket took a front row seat in the audience seating , while in the mean time sally and sky were on stage preforming the next segment a small duet, following after sonic and sally's break up



Sally" y-you know I appreciate you being here, but it just doesn't feel like it should.. "



Sky" don't force yourself, given hes still fresh in your mind.. " * both of them sitting opposite one each other sally closed the book in her hands* music starts



Sally" " you've been such a good friend ~ on a scale of scale one to ten I give you a nine but am I really being truthful or telling a lie?"

Sky" you need to stop , you have to rest this war has been nothing but your ultimate test for nothing but stress for both of us taking her hands tightly "

Sally" us... eheh only to be friends? " Sky" its doesn't matter... as long as I'm here "as he stepped closer to her only for sally to step away*

Sally" but it does matter , I'm craving a spark that can't be met~"

Sky" he left you dry for so long please let yourself submit~"

Sally" to what? a rebound? how can I let that fill the hole I feel "

Sky" it will only take time, time I'm willing to fill~

Sally" it will be too obvious she turned away he'll know "

Sky" then let him... let him see the jewel he left to rot away, let him the princess he failed to save, let him see the love he wasted away as he walked around her cupping her cheeks let him wallow in the guilt of the love he let fade~"

Sally" clenching his hands pushing him softly away* I love this sensation but it can only be friends "

Sky" I'm willing to wait.. you need to heal there is no need to make waste "

Sally" but what of you , I would be no different "

Sky" I've come from nothing, and I can leave with it but I can't handle the pain of a friend -

Sally" your so sappy and giving it reminds me of antoine I want to fight I'm not a damsel! I wish he was just be here to say-.... *

Sky" "I love you"?

sally clenched her fist gritting her teeth as sky again tried to approach her



Sky" I know its hard to let go,,, I know its hard to heal. I knows it hard to have to turn away and run away from what was familiar~ for your own sake, but the pain stay~ if you can not turn away... but you have to bare the scar of pain so time can seal the wound, and in that time I'll be here... I'll be here~

Sally" ;w;....><



Kathy" CUT!! " ( Sally/Sky" O o;; ) Sky" I tried to let you get it together I did but can you PLEASE SPEAK UP why are you so quiet during the high notes!? " Sky" I sound like a crab when I peak! I'm trying to make it sound good enough I thought it came out-" Kathy" it doesn't matter if I got to blast the damn volume for folks to hear you!! Augghhh! " Alicia" you know that's what editors are for kathy I can fix any draw backs we have " Kathy" still I know you can do it you just have to give it your all please don't second guess yourself and just try , if I think your sucking I'll tell you , don't think! just do! " Sky" ;w; "



Nova" I don't know if kathy is just being dramatic or is she serious " Blaze" I think its a little of both " Kathy" okay time for the real star to show herself~ nicole are you ready?" Nicole" yes your intro in all ready, I just feel a bit bad I had to do "him" Kathy" hes only for this one scene anyway , besides you wanted to be partially the villain anyway"

as the scene was changing over



sky was sitting off to the side a little bothered from kathy's comments*

Alicia" don't take it too personal shes just under a lot of stress " Sky" oh yeah am I'm not , she didn't have much to say about sally though " Sally" if it makes you feel any better sky I thought you did amazingly , I won't lie I did get some flashback moments when we did have our conflict at that time , though less dramatized " Sky" heh I know right - - but thank you" Blaze" and to think I'm going to here on stage myself soon enough - - " Sky" but your only as a backup right?" Blaze" for kathy yes, but who knows she could have something planned I'm not sure of , also I did think your last display was rather convincing, and I think thats the important thing" Sky" noticing her tail was spiked as she had her arms crossed firmly < < "

kathy suddenly arrived again

Kathy" so how do I look~ * as she was wearing her original attire from back when they first met "



Sky" oh wow just like glove" Kathy" I know right~ I had honey make it to fight me now verses myself from 20 years ago... God that sounds like a long time... anyway! time for my big entrance~" Niyako" what "is" her big scene ? Sky" its when we first met, the dark legion kidnapped her and tried bring out something...bad for a lack of a better word, and it was thanks to dr finitevus and lein-da that were the ones that caused it " Keket" and THATS when I will show up ^w^ Blaze"

jumps !?!" Sky" ahh keket right on time I see" Keket" I wouldn't miss this for the world nor would that sugar-butt let me anyway "



turning back to the stage, nicole took her set as she transform into Dr fin, and beside her lein-da stood ready to taking places as well as other people acting as legion soldiers, and kathy being inside a giant capsule



Blaze" but I think the place was going to take events from your perspective " Sky" like I said kathy took some liberties "





break room



sky was to himself enjoying some of the freebies that were offered ot the staff



Sky" sigh...." Sonic" you seemed a little broken after kathy's little shouting bit at you xD hope your not drowning misery in junk food " Sky" ?!... your whole diet is junk food leave me alone. having a small helping of fried rice besides I'm surprised your not spitting nails at me for wooing your wife like I did in the past" Sonic" well you know I won't brush it off and say its all good, I did feel...something " Sky" would you rather have me or khan?" Sonic" do I have to pick when I'd rather have neither? besides sally never liked khan to start with it was rebound situation, even if he did change" Sky" theres your key word, "change" verses you know staying the same " Sonic T T" Sky" the funny thing was it never happened that way in the past , kathy just played it up for fun, " Sonic" really no kissing? no romanticism, no trying to play me down , cause whats hilarious is that if you actually did, me taking your wife's first kiss would be fair game if you did " Sky" cough dude your really going to say that to me?" Sonic" hey hey hey , no rivalry just little bit of fun okay I just thought it was a fun little thought is all" Sky"........ alright fine you want to take it to that extreme*



at that moment blaze walked by the break room looking for sky

Sky" if the chance me and sally actually did get together there would be the chance you would have blaze all to yourself and maybe we would be in opposite places right now, but I'll be real even the amount of time I've had sally. she was always handling you with kid gloves, that slap she gave you was probably the harshest she had ever been with you, and now if I see you with blaze.. you wouldn't last " Sonic" I think I would, I could at least soften her up a bit verses always being super serious all the time like a certain someone I know" Sky" heres the ironic thing, because I was so serious, taking her role helping the kingdom being the high rank in the royal guard I actually made things easier for her and she was able to relax but in turn I became what she used to be , stoic hard, and losing myself, and she felt bad about that " Sonic " well thats what your get when you rub too rocks together one will break while the other smooths out " Sky" ehhh depends "



Sonic" eheh so anyway.. is the demon going to be in the play too?" Sky" if you mean keket I guess so , why else would she be here" Sonic" to mess with us why else..... you know sometimes I wish I could see what you see " Sky" in terms of? " Sonic" what makes you look at killer and not see all the things shes done " Sky" because its called setting boundaries and getting a understanding, I'll tell you something, back when blaze was still carrying nova me and killer had a fight to prove who would kill who , if we really had a one v one, blaze and mephlies watched , in the end we ended in a tie , we came to the understanding that we were on the same level , and in a way we bonded " Sonic" even thought your a reaper and you fight to destroy the darkness so to speak? "



Sky" its complicated sonic , killer has had her perks, she always has" Sonic" would you fall for her " Sky" what?" Blaze" ( what!?) Sonic" lets just have some fun with this, would get with killer " Sky" why?! in the nine hell's do think I would get with her?" Sonic" you seem to have so much mercy for those that kill if they take out people that threaten your position, you love being final with your executions, your both on the same level , and you said it yourself, its complicated, it sounds like a blooming love story to me "



Sky" sitting down as he held his head as she sighed heavily.... I would rather spend a weekend alone with wildfire then a day with you , and as far as killer considered , she would have no interest in me, and third, it would be kathy if anything. plus she already had her heart set on some one "

meanwhile outside the door alicia and keket started to listen in



Sonic" yeah knuckle head, I know but taking the idea anyway you and killer why not XD" Sky" I'm not a monster I know you like to think of me as such but I'm not T T" Sonic" ahh your no fun"



Blaze" no hes just makes fucking sense...unlike you... " Alicia" wildfire while may like to hear that he'll spend a weekend alone with him then a day with sonic, totally not gonna have ideas for days because of that XD" Keket" I'm not exactly into mama's boys unfortunately" Blaze" !?!? where did you two come from ?! being startled by them both



Sky" you want fun, why not bunnie, or rouge, or maybe even breezie, " Sonic" why them?" Sky" instead of going after the young dames can you get yourself a wine mom " Sonic" I think I like em young, your the only one who likes someone you can "feed" off of if you know what I mean" Sky" what the fuck to do you base that on " Sonic" sally, blaze, lein-da, kathy, what do they all have in common, there all older then you. plus you go for the more developed girls " Sky" fucking chaos... what is wrong with you.. .and for the record, blaze an I are same age! we only differ by a few months " Sonic" still the more mature one he laughed Sky" and the only young one you got was amy that you left out to dry a number of times, and you got a princess with stock home, only because you grew up together , no wonder antoine was frustrated with you, and-....actually you wanting them young is kind of scary you say that, sally, fiona, mina, amy... dude that not a good look I won't lie laughing Sonic" hey it not like they worked out " Sky" STILL oh my gosh be glad I'm not a chatter box kathy would love this , no shot " Sonic" T T hmmm " Sky" 20 some years later and I'm still learning new things about you" Sonic" here's another note for you, your calling your wife old since you didn't add her to my list XD" Sky" I'm still better then you " Sonic" heh sure mama's boy" suddenly the girls scattered as he came to the door



Alicia" wow.. and hes right sky isn't a chatter box buuuuuut l3 some of us are little thirsty for gossip XD as she ran off laughing to herself" Keket" I'd best check on kathy I'm sure she'll be calling for me soon, I look forward to scaring lein-da for the 100th time as she strolled on her way"



blaze made her way into the break room

Blaze" sky?" Sky" hey love.. I hope you didn't hear much of his conversation " Blaze" I'd be lying if said I didn't anything" Sky" hmm.. opening a can of soda " Blaze" originally I was going ot vent a bit about you know seeing you acting o s close ot sally but after that display" Sky" we're all faithful here to our partners at least some of us... I hope" Blaze" hmm walking up to him she nuzzles hi s cheek softly as she purred Sky" hmhm love you too, an whats this for" Blaze" jsut reestablishing my property l3 " Sky" pulling her close to him wrapping his arms around her waist we have to sit down for the paperwork first " Blaze" shouldn't we do that at home l3 " Sky" I wouldn't mind taking our time " Blaze" ^w^ " Sky" > > hmm " Blaze" he mentioned lein-da did you still have a crush on her?" Sky" I finally got over it but I wonder once that part comes up with us arguing I wonder if that will rekindle anything- not that I'm hoping > >" Blaze" I don't think you would like her now anyway shes already taken " Sky" hmhm.. and there both happy together even if there both wet blankets " Blaze" mhm , also sonic better what his conversation, because alicia heard everything > > and you know shes going to talk " Sky" thats "his red wagon" " Blaze" > > "



( Worker" Sky! (Hmm!!) kathy wants you on set for the next scene in 5! ) Sky" coming right now" blaze actually jumped clinching on to him tightly Sky" you a little jumpy today aren't you?" Blaze" I don't know why D///X I'm not so easily caught off guard " Sky" well we can have off days" Blaze" still >w>; " Sky" nuzzles her cheek <3 "







back on stage mid way through the scene playing out as kathy was being hit with chaos energy suddenly the, process the capsule exploded releasing a cloud of green smoke that over the scourge of a few seconds began to turn dark to a purpleish dark



Lein-da" doctor what is this?" Dr. Finitevus" according to my research it was correct a people infused with dark chaos, " as keket stumbled from the smoke landing on her knees now then rise my dear, welcome to the new world , I welcome you my child " Keket" ..child...? ha haha ha suddenly a spike echoed through the air as finitievus was impaled and hung in the air as the smuic started to become dark and damper you are no father of of mine throwing him down aside as smashing into the debris of the room (SMash!) Lein-da" gesturening her soldiers to restain her *

Lein-da" ohhh... what this? something new? something odd? something I never seen , teleports (vosh) something weird( vosh), something shiny (vosh) Something hi tech (vosh) clenching the neck of one of the soldiers (Vosh) and yet something so familiar , something so close, something so somber and gross, hmhmh not for me though, I love it~ ( in that second she impaled her hand through the chest ripping out the heart tearing it out ) Lein-da " monster... this wasn't part of the deal! this wasn't what you promised doctor!" Keket" please you thought it was going ot anything else teleporting to her cupping her muzzle in her hand the girl cried and begged and warned and you kindly ignored I think you should suffer the results isn't that fair"



displaying the scene as blaster fire littered the scene towards keket as she danced around the scene before dropping lein-da to the ground she one by one she murdered the soldiers leaving bodies everyone where



something bright adn new, to make dark and damper, bloody and horrid~ I love to grant you your wish dear master because that what you were expecting, its what you wanted? what you wished what you begged dragging lein-da by her leg hanging her upside down by her chain as she smiled*



Sky" Let her go! " Keket" ohhh a shinny new toy~ tossing lein-da away like a ragdoll throwing her off set ( Crash) ( Owww!!) Keket" lets play~ " as sky summoned his scythe both of the mputon display ofa battle between them, meanwhile kathy helped lein-da out of the pile she was buried under*



Kathy" sorry I told her to be easy " Lein-da" I guess shes getting to into it " Nicole" how did I do, I don't have much info on doctor fintuevus? " kathy" don't worry you did perfect~



Keket" something new a fight a battle a threat a playground, show me a world that isn't simply black and white, show me the world where light and dark claw at our throats" as she teleported away from him grabbing the two soldiers in the distance flying to the air ripping them apart making it rain blood upon them both she slowly descended seeing the look of horror on skys fast as she only gave a wide smile, but sky only gripped his blade frim in front of her



Keket" I'm going to enjoy our time together, all of you but for now maybe time to let this sink in is needed no need to show my whole hand as she cloud engulfed her asshe changed form into kathy collapsing on stage



Sky" picking kathy up " Lein-da" ...it... it wasn't suppose to be this as she turned away " Sky" lein-da! " Lein-da" you don't have to keep going this, you can leave all this behind " Lein-da"...* walks away*



Alicia" ANNNND CUT ABSOLUTE CINEMA ! MMMwah! horrific... but still cinema! XD" Kathy" a shame I had to be passed out at the end of it = = but hey nice to know you can carry me l3 " Sky" ha ha " Kathy" so you gonna put me down or d oyou want to make your wife more jealous sky drops her



Nova" you okay? niyako?" Niyako" you know even thought I read your dad's book, I remember this perfectly but seeing it acted out.. I really couldn't imagine seeing something like this first hand, I don't know how he has the stomach for all of this > >; " Nova" yeah my ad a has scene some stuff and so did I, I nearly killed and assassin when I was 5 because I was so fed up of everyone going after my parents , until kathy stopped me " Niyako" hugging his tail >~< " Nova" its okay don't worry"



Kathy" okay everyone its been full day we just one more scene and that the celebratory gathering as the final scene and now all my girls get dressed up and I get to lead the song x3 and will call it a wrap~ Lein-da" great, my back is killing me " Keket" slapping her on the shoulder sorry for being a little rough, I only wanted to make it look convincing~" Lein-da" it-its fine >w> " Keket" as they say we want to knock em dead~ " Kathy" (smash) alright enough* hitting her with the newspaper* Keket" TwT " Kathy" now! scene change everyone we're on the clock! "



Knuckles" you know sky, you talk hell of alot of smack towards sonic for being a player but you were at the center of alot of girls attention I'm not gonna lie " Sky" not really why say that?" Knuckles" well you know , you were there for sally, you were trying ot best being protective of kathy, and hell you were even going out of your way to bing lein-da from the darkside she was in" Sky" well I saw alot of myself in lein-da, I felt bad for sally, and kathy well.. she got a raw deal with killer lets be real " Knuckles" jsut keep in mind if you didn't have blaze you did have options" Sky" not really, everyone heart belonged to someone else I was just the passing spirit that tried to protect my new home and family or at least that's what I believed in the beginning , nothing really solidified until I settled in the sol kingdom and even kathy herself , remember she was hella into you but you had julie-su, " Knuckles" nods then she left finding the version of me from prime mobius " Sky" mhm so its really kind of amazing how things kind of worked out for all of us in the end " Sky" and SINCE i won't be needed in the next scene , I can get some stuff prepped for myself as he heads off " Knuckles" so overly dramatic " Keket" runs in the boys blood~ l3



to be con.

Frappe Delight*



Hexvail was sitting at one of the tables on her own. sitting using her head as a head rest as she stared out the window



Hexvail" trying to push out any thoughts of her ex and the events that too place days ago ..."

Tikal" is this seat taken?" Hexvail" hm?!" quickly lifting her head she saw it was tikal standing before her o-oh.. your um..um... the one... Tikka " Tikal " " Hexvail" right sorry sorry , hehe I was able to panic a bit " Tikal" why so?" Hexvail" I've been on high alert, ever since the commosion with more of those hunters, me and brother wantto be up ot snuff but ...kill- < <... our "teahcer ' won't grant more power unless we can beat her in a fight, " Tikal" you sound as tho your under alof of pressure " Hexvail" how would you feel if some 6ft owl charges in and makes your mentor and everyone else look like children , shes suppose to be top tier, we are the head honchos not some hoot hoot who calls himself the watcher " Tikal" hmm... yes you r "teacher 'has aired her grievances with me from time to time however after making a plan with her "sisters" she has grown more confident in her ability to use her position" Hexvail" but she shouldn't have to have those worries we can take care of our selves, we're all fine, but no one simple weakness and suddenly everything goes up in smoke, I hate it! I just...* holding her head as she groaned in frustration* Tikal" take it easy child, deep breathes " Hexvail" I'm no child thats for sure.."



Tikal" please if you don't mind my reason for showing up was, well I sensed your spirit was troubled and another thing I was very curious about what your relationship with your teacher mainly is like, " Hexvail" heh you just don't like it I'm willing to follow a monster grins I'm not exactly sane in the head you know, just look at my brother " Tikal" and yet you are sane enough to have this conversation, your sane enough to keep him close to your heart above all else, I believe there is more to your story then you let on, and maybe voicing some of it may help give you some clarity " Hexvail"..........* turning away*...I don't want a therapist, I can handle myself " Tikal" are you sure" Hexvail" I've been doing well this long why would I need it now? plus I got a good job, I'm living in a castle and I got my brother and my boyfriend I can't complain l3 , well I could but I try not to kiss a gifted horse on the mouth~ crossing her legs and her arms as she leaned back in the chair Tikal" and yet your so eager to throw away your mortality which your teacher seems to keep denying you" suddenly a dark shadow hid her face, as she stood up taking her drink with her as she left tikal at the table without a word

walking the streets suddenly she heard a mix of voices as her hears perked up, looking to her left it was a group cornering someone, the situation looked gang related as the aggressive one a gator was holding the single individual by the neck

???" look..I-I said I get you the money I just needed alittle more time I promise " ???2" time is something you don't have any more!, as the saving goes time is money and you have wasted both!"



Hexvail" 4 against one thats not fun~ listen why don't you let the fee slid just this once " ???2" run along girly this doesn't concern you " Hexvail" no it doesn't but I don't like people who gang up on one person , now if it was just you that would be another story so let it slide and we cn all go home in one piece" ???3" how about you come home with me pretty thing~ as one of others there's smirked as he walked towards her Hexvail" oh such a charmer but believe me you don't want me, x3 " ???3" what got a bo friend already I'm sure I can show you a much better time as he walked towards her Hexvail" not really, but I doubt you want a monster"



???3" ahaha I had plenty og girls who said they were monster but after one day thy all turned out to be chicks in the end and didn't last even a week as he walked up to her brushing his hand against her head but she moved and grabbing his hand crossing her fingers with his eheh thats the spirit suddenly hexvail gripped his hand tighter to the point he tried to pull away he hey! come on let go! suddenly as he tried to pull away but pulled him in closer to heras her eyes changes to red



Hexvail" always remember there is always that "one" that holds true to there word ( CRaaccckkk!)

???3 AHHHHHHhAgghhhh** hearing the cracking of her breaking bones in his hand* you bitch I- suddenly she was gone and in the second moment she launched herself off the side of the building like a spring board pinning him to the wall with her claws in his chest and slowly she twisted her hand s around as if she was carving out a hole and just before she was about to tear his heart out the others pulled out there blasted and opened fired, but she held up the body like a shield *



(Ahahahaha. not so much fun is it when your on the end of the victim now isn't !) throwing the body as one of the other thugs then tackling the last one next to the gator taking her dagger and slicing his throat, then gator looking scared for his life decided to turn tail and run



Gator" we aren't paid to deal with killer! this wasn't in the contract! (Wham!) AGhhh* hexvail tackled him to the ground* Hey come on! whatever you want! I'll get it for you! Hexvail" I want you ....to sleep as she brushes her hand on his snout as she grinned clenching her claws about to digi not his chest. but as she starred him down she genuinely saw fear in his eyes and it made her hesitate in that small second he kicked her off as he ran off*



Hexvail" Grrr.... Ghhh! slamming her fist on the ground .." the one who was been cornered saw her still ???5 " u-um.... thank you " Hexvail" you saw nothing here got it! this never happened " ???5 " y-yeah sure, thank you runs off " Hexvail" texts killer I have some fresh meat for you.." Killer" thank you <3. in that second killers shadow soldiers appeared around hexvail as they all picked up the remains and vanished along with them

hexvail only sighed as she looked at her hands covered in blood a bit later she stopped by the harbor and cleaned her self



Tikal" washing the evidence I see " Hexvail" ?? how did you find me so fast?" Tikal" chaos energy is sort of my thing ^^ " Hexvail" oh yeah , plus you being buddy with killer " Tikal" you never did answer my question from the cafe" Hexvail" what is there to answer in case it wasn't obvious, I'm a monster, killer is a demon , demons accept monsters I have no place here the person I was is dead and all thats left is this remnant of a shell why not just go full speed ahead. does that answer your question? " Tikal" so that why you want to throw away the remains of your mortal self... but honestly hexvail your not a monster " Hexvail" ..please don't sugar coat the things I've done.. me and rabbi both know what we are, we don't belong with others we're just..broken souls at the end of the day "



tikal walked up to her Tikal" but it was your heart that made you save that man, it was your mercy that made you spare that gators life, its that level of mercy and compassion killer doesn't want to erase, believe it or not its the fact all of you being so different from her is something she likes " Hexvail" ....glad someone does " Tikal" you have struggled much hexvail but the love you have for your brother, the love you have for killer, as misguided as it is, is something special and please don't throw away that part of yourself " Hexvail".... holding her head down seeing her reflection in the water suddenly drops fell rupturing the reflection as tears welled from her eyes



Hexvail" ...eheh I haven't cried this much in such a long time I must be losing my touch* Tikal" we all must show vulnerability at some point , its not good otherwise " Hexvail" still I can't ignore the lives I've taken.. I can't run from that.. " Tikal" your reasoning is what separates you in my book, you fight and kill to protect, if you killed those men unprovoked that would have been another story but you showed empathy for that man being boxed in a corner which is why you acted was it not?" Hexvail" ...mhm " Tikal" you still have a kind heart and soul and please don't let the world steal that from you no matter what " Hexvail"....I'll..I'll try~ on one condition " Tikal" that is? " Hexvail" put in a good word for me and my brother when we kick the bucket? she smirked Tikal" I will do my best she smiled " Hexvail" ^^ " Tikal" just be mindful of your body count" Hexvail" noted~ "





after gathering herself once again, hexvail made her way back home. after reaching the castle she was greeted by seeing melantha and rabbi in the castle lobby along with jinx and mephlies



Hexvail" nice to see your back, you were ogone for longer then we thought" Melantha" well it was because I got wrapped up in a table top game session at school " Hexvail" how did it go?" Melantha" it was.. actually fun ^w^ we make characters go on quests and build full on stories around it, I didn't think I would get as involved as I did " Rabbi ' yep congratulations your a full on nerd now XD gives her a propeller hat they grow up so fast ;w; " Purge" oh brother... " Rabbi" what about you, it took a while for a simple frappe break" Hexvail" well uhh ran into t some trouble and I got caught up with carrot top" Jinx" carrot top?" Hexvail" the orange echidna?" Jinx" oh! tikal how was she?" Hexvail" doing jsut fine , we had a bit of a talk and well shrugs I got to air out some inner thoughts " Jinx" aww well glad she was able to help you " Hexvail" yeah , " Rabbi" speaking of helping, I walked to melantha about our little plan and shes willing to help" Hexvail" wait the fighting her and then mephlies thing?" Melantha" yeah it will be goof practice for us too, on top of that I can give the soldiers a bit of a run as well, I'm sure they don't like just being living statues for the castle :/ " looking outside seeing some of them chasing hellfire Hexvail" I know what I said but at the end of the day..." Mephlies" in some cases this might work better for you in the long run " Hexvail" how so" Mephlies" mandarin , jinx and even starline are accustom to dark chaos energy however you and rabbi are still very new, I will admit you hold up pretty well against killer even shes just playing with you" Rabbi" still burns me..." Mephlies" if you which to take on more of her blessings and attain higher ranks in the house, then you will have to work your way up and mephlies would be a perfect starting point " Melantha" and you don't have to worry about mom killing you on accident , because unlike her I'm actually careful " Rabbi" the walls have ears don't you know..! shakes her* > >;;; " Hexvail" chuckles softly well you do make a point , so how soon should we start" Melantha" why not tomorrow, I don't have much planned " Mephlies" well there is something we have to do mephlies " Mephlies" that is?" Mephlies" your mothers birthday will be coming up shortly and we're going to arrange a gift for her " Mephlies" oh o o but year s have always went by adn we never celebrated before?" Mephlies" well this is going to particularly special given something kathy also has planned and I thought why not throw my hat in the ring as well " Jinx" what coudl you possibly get killer that she wouldn't just toss aside later? "



Mephlies" I know she comes off a bit cold towards the world but, I know what makes her tick and that's why its going to be a bit of a special item we have to put together " Melantha" ohhh okay~ ^w^ " Rabbi" gasp is it gonna be a family portrait she can hand on the wall ;w; " Mephlies" no " Rabbi" aww " Mephlies" as I said it will be in the making, " Melantha" yay I can't wait, but wait whats kathy planning?" Mephlies" a musical event celebrating our history , and I have a feeling she will ask her to be in it " Rabbi" killer can sing!? is there anything she can't do!? XD " Mephlies" hmph " Jinx" I must say I am curious seeing the folks killer knew before I came along, I'm actually surprised she had others she knew " Mephlies" story of her life for sure or better yet kathy's , they always shared special connection two sides of the same coin, two halves of the same whole even if one predated the other "



changing scenes



we return to the Vincia kingdom as we find kaspian arriving at the diamond household, as he held up a letter that was addressed to him



Kaspian " heh first I'm teacher now I'm home tutor this will be interesting " xD





inside the main courtyard scourge had already decided to get a head start when it came ot learning how to use a sword by way of jsut swinging it around in various ways



Cello" so how did dad take the news?" Reia" about the wedding? he was pretty soft about it , bu after scourge explained taking down captain black was sort of a gift in that regard, he humbly accepted and is happily making plans for our wedding ~ taking a sip of her lemonade Cello" and about the "other" surprise?" Reia" we haven't said anything yet " Cello" you shoudl take advantage while hes in a good mood" Reia" I don't want to damper this event with that, besides I still have plenty of time before signs start to show and if push comes to shove mother can some what cover for me if need be" Cello" just let me know when your clothes stop fitting " Reia" sigh not funny, my worst troubles have yet to arrive when I started excessively shedding " Cello" ahh right > >

(Shinnng!) ( Thwack!!) suddenly the sword ending up breaking against the post because scourge was putting too much force behind it



Reia" >< for heavens sake scourge! its a SWORD not a cricket bat! " Cello" not to mention you combine it with your spinning attack so I don't think your really "learning" but just making it an add on " Scourge" look I need to get use to having this thing apart of me first , sorry if I don't learn the "ways of the butter knife" like you want but I'm making an effort here " Reia" ways of the...*groans* you are such a child "



Kaspian" I suppose that's why you called me" Snow" I see everyone was having fun, I came to see you the teacher has arrived~ Kaspian" I hope I'm too early I alway s hate tope my clients waking" Snow oh not at all ^w^ in fact your student was trying ot give himself some warms up in the mean time" Scourge" so the previous champion arrives I'm surprised you took the offer " Kaspian " well I had no reason not to, Scourge" I really thought I was going to get the schools sword expert whats-he-name blackfire? " Kaspian" darkfire crossing his arms and yes even thought hes the sword expert, hes been tied down at the moment given hes got a hatchling on the way , so you'll have to settle for me" Snow" ( hell if your what I get for settling then please humble me ) <3 " Reia" okay mom leave us be your getting that look again TwT " Snow" o o heh sorry couldn't help it~ xD anyway if you need anythign jsut give me a call have fun everyone~ as she left swingign her hips happily



Scourge" alright mister -" Snow" oh by the way there looking for new member for there crew and you know positions are open and we're looking for a dragon~ " Reia" mom! " Snow" just saying okay goodbye <3 " Cello" shes looking for every way o t get a celerity in this house = =" Reia" if her values allowed it shes try to bed him ... "



Kaspian" so that being said show me what you can do and will start our lesson plan from there "

Scourge" okay so hands on sounds good to me~ grabbing another sword replacing the previous one he quickly charged towards kaspian clenching the sword with one hand kaspian quickly side stepped his charge then scourge slowed himself down making a I turn the n rushed him again kaspian was dodging his swings left and right eventually scourge woudl get close to striking him but kaspian simply let the blade brush off his claw as he redirect it away from him



Cello" its almost amazing how hes just playing with him " Reia" biting her own tail mhm... " eventually scourge was starting to get tired

Scourge" panting well pant is that enough of evaluation for you ?" Kaspian" well you have the force behind your attacks I will give you that, you just lack the form, and you swing it like a bat" ( that's what I said! ) Scourge" T T" Kaspian" so the good news is your not a total shipwreck, a few days of teaching proper form and style and you'll be brandishing your own style in no time " Scourge" sounds easy enough " Kaspian" now about what snow mentioned about you looking for a new crew member " Reia" we were going to make a offer but mother has to spoil it " Kaspian" color me little interested, especially since I've heard stories of your crew going against the dragon core pirates so you'll need all the help you can get " Scourge" hey! " Kaspian" but I have my conditions " Cello" such as?" Kaspian" if your captain can beat me in a fight using the sword I'll join, he'll have 2 weeks to do it " Scourge" two weeks?!" Kaspian" if you follow my lessons perfectly you should be able to take me on he crossed his arms casually Scourge" and by the off chance I can't " Kaspian" I increase my lesson fee by 4 " Reia" Ahhh DX" Scourge" how much are you paying this guy?" Reia" his lessons is already 300 gold... if you lose... hes asking for 1200 gold DX" Scourge" !?! " Kaspian " nice incentive I would say~ Scourge".... fine! and when I win you'll be buffering our ship for a month! " Kaspian" we'll see so kaspians lessons begins now~





back with sky and blaze



study

Blaze" have you and kathy finally reached a middle ground regarding the music?" Sky 'huh?.. oh yeah we did , kathy is just focusing on the costumes right now and frankly pretty soon shes going to have practice runs, didn't she say something for you the next ponytail meeting she wanted to practice scene just to see how everything works together" Blaze" nothing was mentioned to me about it :/ " Sky" I suppose time hasn't been on her side , shes been juggling alot and darkfire didn't help" Blaze" how so?" Sky" the new baby is expected any day down so he took off from the school , and kathy obviously to be there but you know trying to not to smother his big moment , she knows this special for him" Blaze" I think kathy puts a little too much on herself to be there for every special event" Sky" well I think once the big day is over that will give her a chance to relax and focus on the other things " Blaze" "other things" she should really keep her twins in mind as her house hold. ?! wasn't she still trying to turn her hose into a castle?" Sky" heh she still is check the calendar lately? pointing to the dates one of the up coming weekends was marked for a castle tour " Blaze 'oh right.. the tour I've been so focused on the musical it slipped my mind " Sky" heh you? I finally got a few knots tied up so jack would be happy and some parties will finally leave me be as well "



Blaze" such as?" Sky" sighing softly in order, I finally reached a stable setting for the castle nation's president so I'm no longer spitting venom at him, and we can resume business as usually I'm made a supplier contract with someone your cousin recommended, so thanks to sonia no more worrisome butt-holes trying to get in on the mecha project I have, and lastly the cloud breezer Vincia kingdom has a dragon architect who will start crafting designs this is a also under wraps with drako " Blaze" in terms of interior? or the exterior " Sky" interior , our text run had alot of mechanical problems due to being high in the air so we needed equipment that's air travel friendly " Blaze" but didn't you said you wanted it all the sol kingdom only?" Sky" I did.. but it was becoming too costly and I had to open up some help, at least I'm still able to keep the sol spirit within the family thanks to sonia and kyle " Blaze" its been a while since we've heard from them how is she?" Sky" doing well , she misses you, and wants to visit and see nova after such a long time " Blaze" we have the means perhaps we should just go and see her" Sky" shes wants to come here not the other way around, I'm just surprised they haven't had kids of there own " Blaze" not me , remember sonia was in charge of the military division of the kingdom she was too much of a career women for kids, but it didn't stop her from falling in love though " Sky" yeah just with someone half way around the world " Blaze" and what your excuse, you crossed dissensions for me " Sky" no hate, love can take us to many places, some we never expected" (Buzzz) ??" *

getting a message on his phone he quickly responded



Sky" ..hmm.. its a message from darkfire" Blaze " and?" Sky" !? its finally happening, currently hes at the hospital " Blaze" !! has she gone into labor?" Sky" he says not yet but shes already in the beginning stages an d they prepped and ready, hes inside the room with her right now (Ping!) suddenly he sent a message showing himself and eulalie Blaze" did he really send a photo of them for us?" Sky" looks like this was mulit-message so changes are pinky go this too and I'm also sure that was eulalie's idea " Blaze" I give her my best wishes " Sky" I'm sure will see her soon enough , but I just hope wild won't turn the scene into a lock down zone " Blaze" I think wildfire will give him space, this is a special time, " Sky " you want to go get the baby a gift " Blaze" I will wait till the bbaby arrives and the heat dyes down , no need to smother them , because I promise kathy and wildfire for that matter will have everything covered "



on darkfire's side

Sky responds welcome to fatherhood :3 family emote (ping!) also if Eulalie is worried about the pain , make sure they do.. (click) Darkfire" hmmm= =" Eulalie" whatis it?" Darkfire" I think sky and blaze tried to give some help when you start the process " Eulalie" well points for them being helpful xD but we had this planned since day one and now we're handling it jsut fine* she smiled softly* Darkfire" I won't lie it was a bit scary when they moved you to the operating room , I didn't think you'd be this relaxed" Eulalie" seen breathe I'll be honest neither did I , the doctor kind of explained what will come in stages , I think the hardest part was my pelvis making space > >" Darkfire" eheh yeah > >" Eulalie"......*holding his hand tightly she pressed his hand against her cheek*....* darkfire felt her hand shaking a bit he clenched on to her with both hands* y-you you don't have to be in here when it starts if it too much " Darkfire" I've been here every stop of the way why would I skip out now? I'll be alright eulalie " Eulalie" yeah I know you will

but I'm not I'm just.. ahhh DX" Darkfire" huggles her tightly* you'll be fine I'm right here" Eulalie" hmm~ <3 ( Did she put a cup holder in the heart monitor yet? ) Eulalie" dad!

with a cheerful done as he entered the room



Darkfire" h-how did you did back here? they barely alet me come in here " Father" who said they let me, but I wasn't going ot not give my girl all the luck in the world before her big moment no pun in tended " Eulalie" sigh dad you really got pass secuirty for that " Father" I can say I got lost looking for the bathroom " Eulalie" yeah sure! as both of them started laughed Father" anyway way come on just like when we worked in the shop" Eulalie" oh your soo...*sigh* fine "



being able to lift her tail up somewhat , her and her father crisscrossed there tails



Eulalie&Father" Rings of luck, Rings of faith, let this job be great, with no retakes~" Darkfire" whaa??" Eulalie" its just a dumb little thing we use to do when I worked with dad in the shop " Father" hey it always worked didn't it " Eulalie" yeah always > >; looking at her robotic leg propped by the wall Father" and how our big red feeling " Darkfire" just fine as he was patted on the back by her father giving a soft smile Father" hey hey don't sweat the small things, you'll be just fine, always remember a 89% is still an A always remember that " Darkfire" heh thank you" Father" your mother and I will be waiting out front" Nurse" sir I'm afraid this room was limited to one visitor " Father" ahhh right sorry I got lost on my way back "



Nurse" T T " Eulalie" hasn't changed one bit " Darkfire" neither have you~ nuzzles her <3





* time was starting to scoot by , darkfire was tumbling through one o the catologs untill he found a picture a metal "



Darkfire" what the-" Eulalie" what? putting her phone aside " Darkfire" since when did metal do modeling" Eulalie" modeling?? let me see that..! grabbing the magazine from darkfire it was true a corporate catolog advertising a metal polish , on the cover was neo metal but his out armor plates were converted to look more like a metallic suit while his cuffs and head piece remained the same



Cut the wind, shine like Neo, New Neo polish Eulalie" shes using my baby to push some robot polish DX" Darkfire" well to be fair it sort of makes sense " Eulalie" doesn't mean I have to like it" Darkfire" you just don't like breezie, you and kathy have a hate boner for her = =; " Eulalie" kathy hasa good reason to have a hate boner for her ever since she tried to copy her recipes, sell them under the table, me? shes stealing my son away and I think I got a whole new level of hate on that front, there are so many better options he could have had DX " Darkfire" like?" Eulalie" kitsuna is nice " Darkfire" but kitsuna is a AI shes not a robian " Eulalie" shes evolved into her own personality and such, shes a learning AI and second, metal was the same and now look at him, hes is own person" Darkfire" still not many would see him as his own , most see him and think metal sonic" Eulalie" I was going to give him a new frame but he refused... just takes his brain pop it into a new body and bam fresh new life". it would have been made with the same material as his old body so it would be just as powerful if that would be a concern for him , I would not give him anything second rate" Darkfire" same parts?... you mean equipment from eggman's scraps when would you get the time to gather that junk? " Eulalie" >w>;; ...ohh you know.. you would be surprised what you find at whole sales and swap meets ( and totally not me going to scrap yard zone dumpster diving during your school days ) hehe~ "



Darkfire" looking her suspiciously mmm" Nurse" walking in the room Miss Ringer its time, shes showing signs shes about to begin " Nurse" you will, don't worry mister rowtag are you going to wait in the hall or did you wish to stay" Darkfire" I'll stay, " Doctor" very well first lets see if we can soften the process a bit propping her bed up as he gave her a quick injection in her spine Darkfire" do you always do it in the spine" Doctor" yes its to soften the pain from the muscles for less resistance as the baby passes through " Eulalie" ;w;.... still didn't like that DX" eulalie lied back down as suddenly she started to feel the pains coming back heh...heh y- yeah.. I'm starting to feel something... she chuckled softly, looking slightly nervous as she held on top darkfire's hand ... ?!!!? Yeah! THATS SOMETHING AGHhhhh! >< GRRRRrrr... as the process had begin Darkfire" clenched onto her tightly as she started to twist and turn his hand panting heavily eventually she started ot bite down on his hand ahhh take it easy "

Eulalie" Grrr... Fuck meee!!! as tears welled in her eyes for a moment



Doctor" despite her actions, shes actually doing fine, we're almost there" Darkfire" her? or the baby!? ( Kasshhh~) aahhh! DX * eulalie was starting to bite down so hard she was started to chip into his robotic attachments causing damage* Darkfire" eulalie its okay you can handle this you- ( Ksshhh! ) !? from her feral twisting and biting she ended up snapping part of his metal hand off from the wrist Darkfire" ><!! " ( Crying!!) as it was finally over eulalie collapsed on the bed looking completely beside herself while darkfire was on his knees from the pain of his hand being partially detached*



Doctor" ( these deliveries get more and more dramatic every year... ) "



a half an hour later , eulalie started to wake up coming to her self starring up at the light Eulalie" what...happened... darkfire?" barely able to turn her head she saw darkfire on the chair with some temporary fixes for his hand Darkfire" hey... love.. good to see your awake " Eulalie" what... happened?....!? what happened to your hand?? " Darkfire" eheh.. you um... went a bit feral at the last few bits and you kind of... " Eulalie" oh my gosh! I'm sorry sorry ;w; " Darkfire" its fine. luckily there was a robian doctor here that fixed it , at least well enough for me to use it for now" Eulalie" I'll fix it up I promise.. ohh..I.. I can't feel anything, " Darkfire" the doctor said it was successive and shes nice and healthy , there jsut cleaning her up " Eulalie" ok... still I'm .... " Darkfire" its okay I'll be-" Eulalie" no.. no its not , you always think I act dismissive of lot , whe n I mess with your arms or the cup holders o even where I buy you any spice you want.. evven if I don't like it.. cause.. I know.. I know you've gone through so much meanwhile I'm just a stupid monkey that cut her own leg off by accident as she started to cry ...I just want to make you happy... you came off as a emo when we first met but you were sucha boy scout..and I just loved you for it, you were just adorable and wild just batters you so many do, only kathy was lovingly and.. I'm glad she introduced me to you, I love you.. I want... I don't want to cause you any pain but look at me now- as tears ran down her face



Darkfire" sitting next to her on the bed eulalie.. you the best thing that happened to me besides kathy, if not for either of you, I probably would have just given up... I don't so many terrible things, my own hooks were the cause of that pain, I was terrified this curse would plague anyone I was near just like my parents , and my family, in the end I never blamed wildfire for hating me , I probably would hate me too... but kathy kept me from that dark path and then you came along, and your ..well everything was something that always became a light in my day and life even xD even if the cup holders were annoying, but now every time I see one I think of you, and since cup holders are everywhere that means I think about you all the time he smiled softly "



Eulalie" darkie... " Darkfire" I could never thank you enough for everything you gave me" Eulalie" eheh I think you did more then me ..you..made us rich after all " Darkfire" and you were there when was I nothing but a broken scarred mess leaning his head against hers Eulalie" now your my patched up spicy mess <3 "



** after a small pause*



Darkfire" you know I forget your species is a type of monkey" Eulalie" back in my mom's day they called us tree cats "

at that moment the doctor came back with the baby

Doctor" shes all ready to meet her new mother as she brought her to eulalie, wrapped up in a cloth looking like a lighter color of darkfire Eulalie" shes gorgeous she smiled softly hi~ my little marigold <3 pressing her against her face Marigold" - - ehh...ehhhh " Darkfire" as tears welled in his eyes as he saw her ( tap tap) as darkfire turned and saw kathy standing by him Kathy" I- I'm sorry I tried to stay away but I just- I couldn't I ... - " Darkfire" its okay kathy I was waiting " Kathy "eheh... as kathy got a look at marigold in eulalies arms oh..my god shes so precious ;w; can I hold her~ please let me hold her~ " Darkfire" um kathy"

Kathy" ?! " DArkfire" is it alright if I be the second to hold her" Kathy" o o....* smiles softly* well the father should always have second dibs <3 * as she stepped side* eulalie handed her to darkfire as he cradled her in his arms Nurse" not o ruin the moment but we can have it official Marigold Ringer Rowtag " Darkfire" yes ^^ " Kathy" hasa nice ring to it XD I'm sorry it just happened that way " Eulalie" mhm...I don't mind puns.. - - * falling completely out of it"



Doctor" mister rowtag can I talk to you for moment " Kathy" okay I'll keep her company <3 * taking marigold"

as the doctor talked to darkfire out of the space space Doctor" the delivery was success but I just wanted to keep in mind it was very taxing on her body so if she has any trouble walking or basic moment for the next few days it might come as a shock for her but her body needs only to heal and she should be fine, I will also have some medicine prescribed to help get her back on her feet or foot better say" Darkfire" I see and thank you very much" Doctor" its no problem , as a father myself its hard not to get attached " Darkfire" yeah its something special isn't it " Doctor" take care of yourselves ^^ also I love the name, marigold " Darkfire" thank you shes our new little marigold ^^ "





3 days later

inside the work shop eulalie was just finished repairing darkfire's arm



Darkfire" you know you didn't have to do this so soon you could have waited " Eulalie" every time I see you I saw the damage I did and I refuse to have you like that at least when I can help it " Darkfire" hmm < < , so hows your back feeling?" Eulalie" better, I can talk on my own again, I got my feeling back in my lower body, I swear day one felt like I was disabled " Darkfire" yeah.. what was it like, " finishing up the touches on his hand " Eulalie "that should do it give it a test" Darkfire" twisting and turning his hand as he made a fist, and even testing his hooks everything functioned as it should good as new ^^ " Eulalie" ^w^ good~ leanign back in her chair now to answer your question, it is kind of true for one thing my memory of the pain is sort of fading I guess ot leave me prepped for the next time around" Darkfire" yeah it might fade for you but I don't think it ill fade for me any time soon Eulalie" imagine your-... > >; how can I say this imagine your body is a tube thats a fixed shape, and you have something inside that stretches it outward as it inches itself through you trying to get out, and even though it wasn't that long of a travel by chaos it was painful " Darkfire" even with the numbing?" Eulalie" even with the numbing DX sighing heavily, I swear if I have another one I'm gonna build it " it will be my first android son or daughter " Darkfire" yeah lets save that talk for another day " (Ahhhhhh) ( Ahhhhhh!)



Eulalie" and there's my alarm calling as she started running okay okay dear mommies coming!"

Darkfire" (ping) darkfire checking his phone and seeing a latest message from alicia "can I see the baby? pleaseeee taking note of the last threes of her non stop spam messages" sigh*.. ye s fine you can come over T T (Ding dong!) ?!



with in a few seconds of him sending the message the door bell rang with alicia front and center



Alicia" hiii~ so where is she, wheres the new member of the family" Kitsuna" eulalie is breast feeding right now " Alicia" what timing -w- but thats fine , what about the new father ~ " DArkfire" hey alicia Alicia" congratulations <3 as she hugged him tightly picking him up look at you growing up adn being a big man now XD " Darkfire" yeah I suppose you could say that he chuckled um wildfire isn't with you is he?" Alicia" he said he would wait a bit longer before coming by, but you know I'm too eager to see her, he knows shes safe and your safe so thats all that matters her tail wagged as kathy tried to steal her away yet?" Darkfire" surprisingly , no, this is the tamest shes ever been around children and especially a new born > > " Alicia" well maybe shes just giving you the space you need ^^. but she will have plenty of time at the baby shower " Darkfire" wha?" Alicia" wildfire wants to hold for you a baby shower just welcoming marigold into the world , its nothing big just a few friends who want to see her and maybe some light party favors , like a brunch gathering you could call it " Darkfire" well I hope no more figts hes done plenty = = " Alicia" I always preferred too much then not enough ^^ Darkfire" depending on who your asking "



Alicia" but in all seriousness this really is something special darkie and its really special seeing how far you've come, and I'm glad the light at the end of the tunnel was finally reached she smiled softly as she hugged him tightly Darkfire"... taking in her words as he hugged her back me too actually "



suddenly from down the hall eulalie made her way to greet them



Eulalie" I thought I heard your voice" Alicia" eulalie congrats and I see the star of the hour is here <3 Marigold" o o...* using her wings to hide her face* Alicia" aww baby its okay you don't have to hide ;w; she has your eyes XD " Eulalie" and my pigment " Alicia "ehehe everyone is going to love her~" Darkfire" so when is the shower suppose to be?" Alicia" at the end of the week~ will have plenty of time to get antiquated then ^^ Eulalie" oh right! and if sky and blaze come maybe we can learn if she had scythe powers XD" Darkfire" @w@... do I have to deal with that now DX she was just born plus he said they don't show up until later in years" Eulalie" well she could be a early bird >3> your part of the clan after all xD" Darkfire" eulalie... T T" Eulalie" okay okay I'll stop xD " Alicia" well you got all the time in the world so no need to rush things~ now lets talk music for your party~ <3

the next day



starting off the scene we have snowy sleeping in her bed

( like I said its not like I wanted to , how am I suppose to discipline a infant) Kathy" well thats why yu have me here~ " ( Ka ka be be No ka! Nahhh! hearing the effects ofa spray bottle go off snowy quickly responded to the commotion lifting her head up, seeing rouge kathy , and evven knuckles centered in the hallway and kitchen



Kathy" I know you don't want to hurt ruby because of yube's behavior but that doesn't mean you have to let her use that as blackmail" Knuckles" I'm still getting over the fact a baby has leverage over the mother :/ crossing his arms Rouge" you can't say it was my faught for this outcome " Kathy" well at least right now its fairly easy to handle her and I do hope; no seriously by chaos's mercy I hope, this will only be a phase and yube and ruby will be well... one in the same and managable and not mirror someone else > >; " Knuckles" coughs " Rouge" no need to beat around the bush sweetie we're all thinking of the certain cannibal that lives rent free in our minds " Kathy" well at least shes better shes not the same as before " Rouge" is there such a thing asa "better version of a cannibal ?" " Kathy" well...nghhh.. moving on >< now yube your going to start behaving and listening to rouge and mo more being a riotous little monster towards velvet , and I can't believe I'm aruging with a baby that's not even a year old = = Yube" Grrrr...Ka! Ahh* kathy pecks her on the nose with a her fingers like a chicken would peck a hen* Kathy" no! " Yube" Kaha ba ba- (peck) Naha! (peck) Grrr...! bites kathy's arm " Kathy" okay time out bubble it is..! puts her in the bubble, yube was clawing away at the bubble to get out while still hissing at kathy



Kathy" you want out you will behave and listen" Yube" Grrr... kathy held the bottle to her face ...." Kathy" finally... " Rouge" she would often change back to ruby if I woudl start becoming cross with her" Kathy" well that won't work with me " Knuckles" actually come to think of it kathy I've rarely had to see you be strict with a child at least this early in age" Kathy" because babies are just that, babies and not aliens that are already aware of there enviorment or want to use there mother to steal XP " Khalon" its almost like she know who she was before she was born" Rouge" please don't start with that, I still remember nightmares during my pregnancy = = I fear that might have been the case" Khalon" well its good comic material. not that I'd write that kind of stuff > >; " Kathy" khalon please" Knuckles" come on khalon lets leave kathy to her parenting lessons knuckles and khalo nheaded outside meanwhile pusheen made his way inside jumping on the couch

Pusheen" -w- ...." Rouge" for what its worth kathy I am.. sorry for the events last night, I had faith in my own abilities things would go smoothly and not turn into the commotion it did " Kathy" look I know you didn't mean any real harm and you wanted to help velvet and midnight too, but getting blackmailed by the baby is ..in all honesty something I never could imagine thats like the twins threatening to kill the pets unless I stop feeding them there veggies xD " Rouge" don't give them ideas she chuckled Kathy" ahhh they know better~ anyway yawning Rouge" you seem like you could use some rest yourself" Kathy" I won't lie I have been a little busy for many reasons and I wanted to bring something to your attention before the baby situation took over" Rouge" that is?" Kathy" I'm going ot havea bit ofa musical preformed for everyone its sort of a birthday gift to myself and I'm workign on casting and the music and I wanted you to in the play" Rouge" ....*chuckles softly* daring thats.. that incredibly sweet of you but I know you have a soft spot for me but I don't think I have that voice of a singer nor have I ever tried " Kathy" I know ,you have that smokers voice which to me is under appreciated but I have moments that would fit and you will be doing some practice sessions wiht me and alicia " Rouge" there no getting out of this is there " Kathy" nope~ ^w^ " Rouge" sigh well I'll give it my best that s all I can promise" kathy" and that's all you need my dear"



( kathy! Kathy!) suddenly from outside to the door way silver came running into the door

Silver" Kathy! I'm so glad your here I need your help DX" Rouge" darling take a number TwT having her hand on her hip dismissively Silver" this is serious! its magnika" Kathy" something happened!? and I didn't know about it!? " Silver" this might be something only you can do after all you know her better then me , at least for this > >" Rouge" I thought you were her boy friend" Silver" I know! but this is something special" Kathy" alright alright just explain on the way, teleports note to rouge , can you fee d the cats fro me love I'll be back in a minute ~ if you need help ask snowy assh teleported away with silver



Rouge" scanning the note with all the names and dishes for each cat with pusheen and purrgly at the top and the food labeled for each one ask snowy , I can't read minds like you- can o o;; asshe lowered the note suddenly all the cats in the room were staring at her at the same time with snowly just watching from the back

Snowy" ( yeah they can get a little antsy when there not fed on time) " Rouge" um... alright everyone who wants to be fed first um.. coco? ( RWeeoowwww!) suddenly like a symphony they all started meowing at her feet as some where climbing up her legs Ahhh hey hey stop it ow ow ow ! watch the merchandise! as she was getting backed into the corner in the kitchen, eaching into the cabinet she grabbed a bag of pre-made food with names on them but asshe reached for them suddenly in the cabinet itself was pusheen



Rouge" what the!? you were jsut on the couch ( Glomp!) Hmhmhhmmm! pusheen glomps her face Pusheen" Pffbbhhh!" Rouge " Mhhmphm hmhphmhm Mhmmaaa! ( Get off get offf! Ahhhh) she ended up falling on the floor with the food as all the cats swarmed her as she reached up help...me..."



at that moment kiara came from upstairs

Kiara" why does it smell like catfood? ..WHAT THE?! seeing the scene in front of her (Whistles!!) ALL OF YOU STOP! GET OFF! NOW! BACK BACK! clapping her hands making all of the cats run away while pusheen was still on rouges face she picked him of and tossed him on the couch* you little ring leader! (Whoosh) rouge?!" Rouge" her hair, fur and clothes were all matted and covered in cat hair ...this is why.. I'm not a pet person... Pifft! " Kiara" mom is a special case don't condemn them all cause she likes to have 20 , and thats not counting the ones outside "



meanwhile



turningto magnika's home in mobius

Kathy" so shes stressing out because of the finals?" Silver" yes, we're one week away from the finals , the team has been playing great , she wanted to surprise you with the news but her last teams opponents are.. well no joke, the Limit breakers " Kathy" nice name, can you break it down for someone who doesn't keep up with hover ball? Silver" there a major league team, one of magnika's favorites she likes to watch as well , so not only is she going against her idols there a step between her team and the championship , I've told her not to swear it, there team decided to do some individual training and will work on team strates later in the week, she was fine a few days ago then all of a suddenly the stress just started ot eat her alive she hasn't eaten in two days DX "

entering the house heartha was the first to greet them Hearthe" oh kathy its nice to see you, Kathy" how is magnika ;w; " Hearthe" > >... shes shes had better days " Silver" I know oyour probably upset I can't help but but I've done everything I know, but maybe there is something you know will help her get out of this anxiety spiral she jsut needs stop worrying about the game she can do this I know she can" Kathy" ....*sigh* maybe she needs a break from everything at least a day , how often did she practice" Hearthe" if she wasn't playing for her team she was practicing or sleeping not much else" Kathy" ...*sigh* burnout ...I knew it would happen DX she did this to herself once before " Herthe" o o! your right that was your schools hover ball game she kind of wanted to show off and went alittle over board even though it was just a charity game"



as kathy went up to her room



Kathy" maggie?....magnika its me kathy~.. as she walked into her room she ended up stepping on crossed out papers on the floor, each paper had crossed out game plans she discarded while on the bed magnika was hugging a pillow rocking back and forth mumbling



Magnika" they know what I'm going to do, every plan I make they wil lseei t coming how wil lI know the move to make, the right play. verses the wrong play. one thing changes everything... if I make a mistake it will cause the team but I can't sit this out I have ot watch.. watchign watching there forever watching I'm not good enough for this..(Magnika!) where can the plans maybe if I combine two into one but which one..( magnika! ).. two game plans but 5 ,, yes 5 five should work you can't win if I use everything! (MAGNIKA!) !?!? turning her head towards kathy with tired eyes ...aunt elisa! you can came to give your support , kathy told you about the game XD its been a while since I've seen you and leo " Kathy"... elisa.... magnika its me! kathy! DX and I'm not that old! " Magnika" kathy... ohh kathy hi, nice to see you I wasn't expecting to see you so late in the day" Kathy" its a 9 o clock in the morning" Magnika" huh... thats something anyway I need get back to finding a good game plan for the team" grabbing one of the random sheets on the bed Kathy" I think...! you need to give you self a break... taking the papers Magnika" kathy were one game away from making history for the team for our city ;w; this is big! super big! Kathy" yes I understand but right now look at you, you haven't slept or eaten and you need to refresh yourself if you want to play at your best " Magnika" I know but the plan which plan wil lmake the play" Kathy" okay how about this I have a great idea ^w^ its as simple as one ,two .. three ( snap) snapping her fingers kathy cast chaos energy over her making her fall asleep



Kathy" sigh... I can't believe she said I looked like my mom.. " Silver" how is she?" Kathy" for now sleeping, and I know how to deal with her like this, but shes need to be taken away from everything to get her mind to relax, so when she wakes up I'll be taking her on a little getaway " Silver" or I could take her, you've always helped her out kathy " Kathy" well ... okay it will be a bit of a trio trip for all of us, but for now let her sleep and I'll be back soon okay" Silver" nods and thanks again " Kathy" no problem~ (Vosh) Heartha " can I finally clean this room now before it comes a health hazard? " Silver" at least moving her to the guest bed will be easier "





back at kathy's house kiara helped clean up the messes and the cats were all fed as instructed with each one at there own dish mean while rouge was sitting on the couch with ruby inside the bubble still, as if it was a hamster ball, yube was not present however it was only ruby this time as rouge held her in her lap



Kiara" hey um sorry about the cats they can be a little overbearing sometimes" Rouge" that's okay dear, I've just been having other things on my mind , and your mother has been trying to be helpful " Kiara" I tried doing some research on black arms myself , I got alittle curious hearing all the stories from velvet and well, it turns out ruby isn't a special case, even though its all speculation but BA- newborns have a sepreate consciousness that functions when the main one is either asleep or too tired to remain present, its as if the bodies nervous system has a defense mode of its own as the child grows eventually the two will become one " Rouge" fascinating... but can it develop personalities? Kiara" that I'm not sure there wasn't alot of data to go off of, shadow it probably the best example and most recent you can get " Rouge" lovely.. she sighed "



( Vosh!) suddenly kathy teleported back into the room



Kathy" sigh okay she'll be out for a bit, now I can- ahh! rouge what happened to you! your look a mess" Rouge" your cats decided to ambush me and dog pile on me like a zombie movie scene

T T" Kiara" I helped her clean up and get them all taken care of don't worry " Kathy" thank you kiara I'll handle things from here as kathy used her energy and cleaned rouge up fixing her hair and makeup and dusting off the loose pieces of cat hair I see yube has finally decided to take a nap " Rouge" mhm.. your daughter says its not split personality but a defense system the arms race seem to have " Kathy" oh well that s interesting* as she sat down next to her* are you okay?" Rouge " I failed a easy heist, put my child at risk, getting my friend to save my hide and my own baby makes a mockery of me, what do you think? " Kathy" well look the heist thing was unpredictable you couldn't have foreseen all that nonsense, second yube is something special, and a bit of a unknown but at least look at ruby right now you can tell she loves you, its just getting that other side to learn little respect that's all ^^ " Rouge" respect... given my history, thats the last word you would associate with me " Kathy" rouge, come on don't say that.. " Rouge" be honest kathy.. I'm..I'm not a mother... I shouldn't be a parent " Kathy" don't say that, you've raised midnight fairly well yuo " Rouge" midnight was already a teen whe nwe found him , I sort of became his adopted mother only because they used my DNA and shadows when that women created him, the hard part was done, I was there late in the game , I can't claim anything and here I am with a new born of my own and I just..* holding her hands over face as tears ran down her cheek* .... now I'm put on some kind of punishment because I can't be trusted... my own baby, mine, she cried softly I'm sorry ruby,, I'm so sorry , " Kathy".........* removing the bubble* letting ruby sit on her lap, ruby climbed up to rouge putting he hand on her face* o o" Rouge" o o " Ruby" nuzzles into her ahhh xD" Kathy" you know rouge, for all the spills I give , for all the joke made about me , taking kids, cause I love them so much, worrying about them. even offering to be a second mother, at the end of the day, I would never try to keep a child apart from there parent especially if the child themselves want there mother. sometimes we all need alittle help and I only step in if there is danger but there are times we make mistakes we do it all the time we're not perfect. I'm far from it " Rouge" are you sure about that"



Kathy" look I've had my screw ups knuckles has chewed my ass out more then once, I would over work myself can nearly get myself killed, leaving him alone with only kiara how could he tell that to her when she hatched, " oh your mother was too much of a giver and she killed herself giving too much" " Rouge" heh... that is if he was tell her the truth" Kathy" she would find our eventually xD but my point is that was a horrible move on my part trying to be everything for everyone, thats why I have the collar , and why I'm limiting my help to close friends , or if I pass by someone in need > >" Rouge" hmph lucky me then I suppose " Kathy" so please don't think of yourself as a baby mother, your just learning and be glad your with friends that will help you learn and be the best I know you can be ^w^ " Rouge" ..* wiping her tears away* thank you kathy that.. that means alot and even how I spat in my parents face for all they've done" Kathy " you were a dumb child but you got better " Rouge" hey!" Kathy" I'm just calling it like it is~ rouge punches her shoulder letting out a small laugh



suddenly purrgy walked up to rouge Purrgly : T^T Rouge" a cat with eye liner that's new for you" Kathy" actually shes just like that~ suddenly she jumps on rouges lap quickly moving ruby out of the way of her leap (ooof!) suddenly it looked like a beanbag was sitting on her lap



Kathy" I kind of heard you weren't a pet person" Rouge" I had a feeling you'd hear that, " Kathy" everyone has a certain one for them ^w^ " Rouge" sure Ruby" ahh sitting on top of purrgly rube started to pull on her ears " Rouge" alright alright both of you off I'm not the couch cushion DX pushing the cat off her lap * Kathy "Eheh x3 I could a make joke but I won't xD " Rouge" ha ha so about this play you mentioned? Kathy" ahh yes well you'll be a back up singer for some sections and I got a few key story moments we can sort out f oyour feeling confident enough your performance " Rouge" one step at a time dear , I kno you like to go full throttle " Kathy" mmm sometimes~ " ( knock knock)

Ginger" I got it ashe opened the door hello? " answering the door it was honey Honey" oh.. sorry is this the wrong house?" Kathy" honey! XD" Honey" oh good I got worry for a second xD; I don't travel cross dimensions often " Kathy" oh no thats totally fine I'm glad your here hugs her tightly Honey" I heard you were in need of some outfits~ " Kathy" yes~ and I hope breezie has been treating you well?" Honey" >w>; it pays for my profession and I'll just leave it at that" Kathy" well guess what, you work for me now sweetie <3 " Honey" ehh o o I can't just quit she has me under contract DX " Kathy" yes well they have one loophole the " kathy says so" clause , making her contract appear and writing something on it and teleports it away as if right now your my costume designer ~ " Honey" owo Nyan! XD I always wanted to make stage play costumes! "



meanwhile

breezie got her hands o nthe contact

" Shes mine now bitch, Kathy <3 " Breezie" that little bitch... "







a bit later on



Rouge" so magnika has been having burn out regarding her hoverball game " Kathy" yes, and she is about to run herself into the dirt literally, so I used alittle trick to make her fall asleep for a while, then once she wakes up . I'll take her out for some food and away for a little relaxation. " Rouge" you sure she won't fall back into her old mindset?" Kathy" I know magnika, and I know where to take her so she won't have that dilemma" Rouge" well if you say so~ but shouldn't silver her future husband be able to handle this?" Kathy" yes, but this is the one time I'll give him a pass, magnika has been doing well and hes been at her beck and call ever since, she never addressed him about having burnout , so its not really something hes familiar with, it would be similar if I was burnout with taking care of the kids, what could knuckles do for me at that point? something I rarely if ever show?" Rouge" well I suppose that is true >w> " Kathy" so with that in mind - - maggie has always been a fan of sea life~ aquariums and such" Rouge" really? " Kathy" mhm, I remember games when we were little, or at least when I was little her school games would leave her exhausted, she would go to the emerald lake and just take a noise dive in the water and do nothing, but drift for like an hour. say it was therapeutic in some ways. she chuckled it almost reminded me of the times my mother; my birth mother took me to these small gardens i the forest " Rouge" how sweet ^^ " Kathy" mhm, so taking her to the sol kingdom for a bit will be just the thing to get her away perfectly~"



Rouge" well speaking of getting sleep I think I've well overdue for it, I'm ran all night and day nearly at this point, I think I'm over due myself" Kathy" mhm and now that we know what to do with the children we won't have this again " Rouge" I promise, " Yube" grrr kia no baba.. rouge holds up the spray bottle Rouge" TwT ....." Yube" sigh...ick.... " Rouge" thats a good girl ~ Kathy" claps yay w^ so she'll be back home by tomorrow, you can get at least some sleep " Rouge" heh thank you daar and as for your theater event" Kathy" I'll call you wen I need you~ Rouge" notes as kathy teleported her home* now as for you staring at yube I believe its time for someone to take a nap " Yube" turning away from her as she curled up Kathy" you'll leanI can be your friend or your problem , take your pick* softly turning her around* I don't like being mean its not me, but if your force me I will, so can we be friends? please Yube".... slowly she transformed back into rube as the eyes faded away , and ruby opened her natural eyes Kathy" I'll take that as a yes taking ruby from the bubble hi~ your gonna havea day with me okay? ^w^ so why don't we let you get familiar with the twins~ as she placed her down in the playpen " l oh brother... ughh... as sky let out a heavy sigh falling on the couch herself*



Ginger" finally reached your limit?" Kathy" I was fine, with the midnight outing , then the trouble with magnika then honey coming in , and thank you again for giving her the list of costumes cause I couldn't not think straight I was mentally balancing alot already DX" Ginger" its no problem, but uhh seriously have you considering having some help? as ginger made her some tea

Kathy" you and the other kids help out enough , I'll be fine as long I can catch my breathe * she smiled softly* inhaling the aroma of the hot tea ohh the hot lemon raspberry is always nice~ " Ginger " not exactly help from us, I mean maybe... others that can do exactly what you can do just not as strong, or... snaps his fingers junior versions of kiara does that make sense? "



Kathy" like what? other people that think like me I can trust? ot do everything I do?" Ginger" or at least cover some of the basics you need your powers for , hell you could even hire someone, you got the funds for sure " Kathy" scratching her head well... it not like I couldn't but...." Ginger" if were gonna be moving into a castle eventually your gonna want servants and they all cant just be variations of you , otherwise you'll be a old fossil before kyle and kathlyen hit middle school "



Kathy" alright I get your point >< and never say that again or your on litter box duty for a whole week " Ginger" I just don't want to you burn out like your sister is right now , I've even had burnouts myself there not fun " Kathy" I know... and thank you but as for others taking over for me, valissa is probably the closet I would say is someone who knows me well enough to take over certain things, and she would be a big help so perhaps I can hire her as a helper > > " Ginger" perfect that's already one , the kids are always looking for odd jobs for money , maybe some you can pay to watch the animals or the cat village " Kathy" I'll think about it, but right now valissa will be a big help but right now, I can take it easy, then go see magnika later, and then see about honey" Ginger" weren't you gonna see wildfire later?" Kathy" > >... I guess kiara can check on honey's work for me " Ginger" delegation is hard when your use to holding all the cards" Kathy" uhuh .. but then again I do over do it, maybe I should focus on whats important instead of everything at once" Ginger" that's good and right now you said you would relax " Kathy" at last for a minute"



Ginger" I think you need more then a minute ma picking up pusheen and putting him on her lap Kathy" eheh I suppose your right xD ( but maybe given everyone in the mothers club and ponytail club maybe I can start asking around for some assistance , it couldn't hurt )..."drinking her tea ~ -w- as snowy came and lied down at her feet "







online voice chat



Sonia" so nova I heard the mecha test flight went well " Nova" yes it is I love it , its amazing its...

I hope not " Manic" why not it could be cool for everyone to come and see" Nova" its weird, I guess a musical based off of real events that took place ? Sonia" its not that over the top, plus you think kathy wil llet everyone judge it if they dislike it "



Nova" I don't know, maybe > >" Hinote" well one thing I would like comment on is the music, alicia is letting me work with her for the songs in the musical and I "really" really hope there good ;w; if they are I'll use them for my new single and if not well... back to the drawing board " Nova" they will be fine hinote don't worry, " Hinote" also oddly enough, sapphire is a closet history nerd and likes your dad's auto biography so this whole thing is up his ally , so expect us to be there on the day xD" Nova" that's interesting :/ " Manic" well it will be a something big for her birthday which isn't too far away, I think the werid part is the conflict between out parents , and even for sky and sonic, I remember they had alot of spats from what I know" Data" them try sonic and tails, that was the worst one or the three way love triangle XP with them and fiona Nova" I'm sure there not going to over everything, jsut some key points and maybe shouldn't take it too seriously " Data" it always feel kind of quiet when its jsut us doesn't it "



Nova" well the others had class today, but I'm gonna be helping niyako tonight , with combat training xD Manic" lucky I want to fly a giant robot " Nova" niyako has blueprints and plans for more so maybe soon manic you'll get your wish, he still wants to do that dinosaur one for surge , I don't know why hes hooked on that one > > " Ashley" it is a boy with his hobby x3 " ( nova, yeah? ...... okay I'm coming) Nova" sorry guys I have to go, fire practice signs off " Data" now that the pro is gone anyone want to play a few games?" Sonia" she usually carries " Data" we don't always have to play comp " Sonia" lets just try to keep it chill and kiara often makes it seem like money is on the line" Ashley" they are both very competitive, but it can be healthy for some" Manic" and rage inducing for others " Hinote" come on lets just have some fun , alicia is gonna pull me back any second "

changing scenes

we arrive at the school during lunch period , melantha was sitting by herself on bench in the training field , as other kids going by were also having there sparring sessions or outright jsut playing sports, opening her lunch box to the naked eye it looked likea bottle fruit punch, slices pf uncooked meat with small bag of chips



Melantha" hmm" Kiara" looks like I finally caught you alone " Melantha" o o o-oh kiara" Kira" hi "madeline" xD looks like our schedules finally crossed where we could sit and chat " Melantha" yeah lucky me she chuckled softly Kiara" so how is the school going for you?" Melantha" well the class isn't so bad, I've learned alot from hurricane , some of the kids find him disgusting but its par for the course if your going to learning about what makes the body work " Kiara" yeah some need to have a stomach for it, " Melantha" mhm what about for you?" Kiara" I got a exam on trinity crystals this week and its alittle annoying but I just hope I can pass it = =" Melantha" its the variety isn't" Kiara" no its which color, belongs to which region and which element spawns where, the colors also help determine what effects it will have and what its used for, and so on and so on and I'm bloody simplifying it DX Melantha" sounds like your got your hands full" Kiara" maybe, but you know my mom wants to be sure your alright too , she asks me did you see you at all and well its no fun being a loner on the school grounds " Melantha" I'm only here for classes no t much else, its alright if I kind of fade away, its not like others would accpet me anyway she said passive aggressively Kiara" why say that"



Melantha" its not hard to know why kiara, if people took one look at me they would run in terror, and it well.. it bothers me knowing that fact, and when I'm playing pretend your smiling and lying to my face , I know I sound petty but I couldn't tell you why it bothers me... " Kiara" no, no I get it I had some try to be buddy buddy with me only cause they know mom wil lbe the new principle evenetually so its like " hey I wonder if I can get in good graces with the headmaster" Melantha" and how does that turn out " Kiara" since I can read minds I shatter there hopes then there suddenly bitter and leave " Melantha" ahahaha sorry to leave you disappointed XD" Kiara" I know right! " suddenly her left hand started slapping her thigh passively ummm you okay?" Melantha" oh he does this when he wants to say something , so I check to make sure the coast is clear "

as melantha opened up herh and and you saw a mouth on the palm belonging to purge



Purge" she want s to appear as if she has no friends but there are some good people here, shes made friends with a penguin recently, but I sence her bias towards the bad actors may leave her on her own too often" Kiara" ( I completely forgot about purge ) having her fur spike for a moment but she composed herself well its all fair, the only way to learn whos real and whos not is to search them out , that is if you want to" Melantha" I know, but then I go hope after class and I'm always happy to see rabbi <3 someone whos honest and loves my smile my.. real smile > > " Kiara" listen kiara maybe not everyone will see the smiles on your face , but at least there are some who want to see that same smile in your heart, so please don't push away everyone there are good one here too pokes her chest cherish them all okay? for me" Melantha" okay I'll try at least " Kiara" good hugs her ( hey madeline!) Melantha" o o " suddenl a pinguin ran over to them



Cicci (see-see) " madeline glad I found you " Melantha" oh sorry I didn't know you were looking for me is something wrong" Cicci" me and a group are going to play a game of Treasures and Sea ventures and I wondered if you wanted to join us " Melantha" treasures and sea ventures?" Cicci " its sort of a role playing game, one person makes a game and the rest of make characters for the game world and its like building a story with friends , its not really for everyone but I thought maybe you would be interested after class " Melantha" > >;... well um.." Kiara" you could at least see about it , who knows might be fun ^^ Cicci" no hard feelings if its not your thing, " ( Purge" what have you got to lose ") Melantha" well I suppose I can come see about it " Cicci" cool , I when your class is over meet mt at the game room on the 3rd floor room 527 as he headed off Kiara" see you might like it ^w^ " Melantha" I won't lie I was itching to ask if I could bring rabbi ;w; Kiara" rabbi will be waiting for you at home , hes your boyfriend not your security blanket, don't turn into another nova " Melantha" fine fine -w- I will give it a shot " Kiara" cool " by the way I haven't seen you touch your food since we started talking :/ " Melantha" oh no I've enjoyed my food brushing her hand over it you saw purges mouth on her hand basically eating for her



Kiara" slightly disturbed r-right...right dumb question , a-anyway let me know how it all goes and I'll keep in touch ^^ " Melantha" okay, bye~" Kiara" waves " Purge" see you can do things without that rabbit, your a big girl" Melantha" oh hush "





as the rest of melantha's class wrapped up for the day, automatically she was about to make her leave back for home until purge reminded her of her table top game later, quickly make her way to the upper level



Melantha" 525...526....527 here it is standing nervously at the door Purge" I've never seen you so nervous before " Melantha" I'm not nervous I'm just... well you know, we share the same mind after all " Purge" I know, but that is why you have to do this, if your mother can do it and make jinx her friend then you should be able to do it too " Melantha" doesn't mean I want to.. " Purge" and now your introverted side is showing " Melantha" groans fine fine ><"



opening the door the room appeared to be empty , it was 3 separate tables present one table standing out among the others had holo projectors on it a board frame that covered half of the table wit ha graph looking partial sea and land colored for decoration melantha examined the items on the table even a box with a collection of game pieces and tokens and even various multi sided dice



Melantha "ohhhh... these are pretty as she picked up the hexagon set of dice" I want these" Purge" couldn't you make your own " Melantha" well yes but it would take some time to craft it perfectly from my crystals spinning them on the table as she watched it land* I could play some fun games with victims with this~ " Purge" looks like the wheels are turning " ..someones coming! " Melantha" *quickly put the dice back and backed away from the table * at the door way a koala walked in taller then the average koala seen he was wearing a yellow scarf and a dark blue shirt with sandals matching his shirt , immediately his eyes darked for melantha by the table



???" can I help you?" Melantha" ?! oh um.. I was invited to play by cicci I guess I got here early before him" ???" oh a new comer, hes always willing to bring new people, tell me have you played T&V before " Melantha" ...nnn-no " ???" do you know how to roleplay" Melantha" yes " ???" whats your favorite class system" Melantha" uhhhh... @w@ " ???" okay a total hatchling.. I get it rubbing his head look before others get here I'll run you through the basics * pulling up a chair he sat down adn melantha feeling slightly embarrassed at first >///> "



???" my name is russal by by the way " Melantha" melan- Madeline- madeline ^^ Russal" alright madeline" explain everything will take more time then we have to will just go over the most you'll need for a standard session, as she activated the holo projectors that created a 3D version of the board with different cities on display first your going ot make your character . if you've roleplayed before, this shoulder easy " * as melantha was reading through th e descriptions of the cities and what there environments were like " Purge" ( no damn pressure geez!) Melantha"... Wind-chester isles my character will be be a dark mage " Russel " mages have pretty advanced kits are you sure you want to start off that strong?" Melantha" yes " Russal " okay, so whats your bio"

Melantha" hmm... her name is melancholy a self taught dark mage, whis body is infused with the dark arts, she forever keeps together because the dark arts have morphed her appearance she knows the world would fear her for the very thing she is si she rejects it first, while at the table looking for means to reverse the effects , to hopefully have a normal life once more. Russel" okay not bad , so is she going to good evil or neutral ?" Melantha" hmmm " Purge" ( I see you asa chaotic neutral ) Melantha" ( my mom is chaotic neutral XP I think I'm more evil neutral ) Purge" well uhhh..." Russel" don't feel pressured just pick something for the moment you can change it later " Melantha" okay evil neutral "



Russel" okay, Melancholy, dark mage, evil neutral , age?"

Melantha" unknown but on the surface she would appear 30 years "

Russal" okay now the fun part suddenly the boards made a small token representing her character 4 abilities you will have as a mage powerful spells , standard and the powerful ones you need to roll high numbers to pull off " Melantha" hmm... 2 powerful spell and 2 standard, " Russel" you can only have one powerful sorry" Melantha" hmmm...fine " Russel" you'll be able to r upgrade through out the game" Melantha" XP Russel" okay I think that makes you r character, and... save"

(ping) as the board saved her character setup Russel" not going to lie your better then the last person cicci tried to invite, the girl didn't know how to make a character" Melantha" well my boy friend is a bit of a character himself , so that probably helps ( Purge" no shit")



* suddenly 3 others entered the room one of which was cicci"



Cicci " madeline! I went to your class and saw you were gone I thought maybe you changed your mind at first " Russel" no... she got here first and I was stuck showing her the basics T T" Cicci" sorry about that, I see you already met russel, I know hes a bit aggressive but hes really nice " Cicci" there is is a Pokko and Lenard pokko was a toucan she had ocean blue scarf top wit ha matching dress skirt that touched the floor the back of her hair ends were dyed pink making the pink eye shadow she gave herself. lenard was a tiger snake eel he had a collar around his neck covering his gills feeding him sea water while on the outside he had casual vest with a shorts, as he waves softly wards melantha

Melantha" ( wasn't expecting a sea dweller to be here at the school ) Cicci" well I see russel got you started with making a character" Russel" well she wasn't shy of making something quick but it has my interest at least unlike your last recruit " Cicci" look it can get boring with jsut us you know we have to branch out eventually " Pokko" lets jsut get started already, so are we gonna make a new one who continue from the last game " Russel" you know why not add in melantha for the game we have going on , I think her character might be the twist we need to finish it out, plus it will work as a nice preview " Lenard" that's kind of bad just dropping someone in the middle of a game she doesn't know any one " Russel" sometimes you have o run before you can walk " Melantha" I don't mind, Pokko" are you sure? russel just always does this cause he doesn't want to babysit and he's never had to though T T" Melantha" I'm willing to give it a go~ " Cicci" well if you want to but the moment it goes south were starting a new game T T " Melantha" ^^ "





back home in the future in killers castle



Hexvail was pracitcing her throws on a dartboard while laying on her bed, rabbi was sitting at the foot watching her practice*



( thud! ) (thud!)... (Thud) Hexvail" damn it I'm always one off from getting three in a row" Rabbi" sigh be honest, will we ever able to beat killer DX" Hexvail" to me its not a matter of when, but how, rolling over on her stomach I've watched her fights with mandarin and shes right, she plays patty cake with us... I'm...*sigh* I'm not sure how... I'm really night = = and I want us to able to reach our full on status here but given what we're up against, it really doesn't seem possible, hell I think we could beat melantha in a fight before her mom " Rabbi" ha! thatsa laugh " Hecvail" at least I can see it happening XP" Rabbi" hmph but then again the bastards that leave killer shaking are also a problem, like that owl who helped heal her, the watcher he called himself " Hexvail" I know right... as she sat up mabe.. maybe trying to fight killer shouldn't be on our to do list but trying to find ways to give ourselves edges over those hunters :/ " Rabbi" yeah... crossing his arms as he leaned his head back with a heavy sigh Rabbi" its interesting they treach each other like a infection " Hexvail" hm? " Rabbi" think about it, the light energy was infecting melantha turning her into the thing she isn't suppose to be, like how when we get sick it changes us, and the only way to fix it was to over flow our systems its almost like an infection fighting against a invader, so maybe we can find something to give us an immunity " Hexvail" if were gonna go the creepy doctor route we might as well go ask that creepy owl for help T T and after he disrespected my queen, I'm not really fond of him " Rabbi" well uhhh... purge said he worked as some kind of shield for her during her condition" Hexvail" no offense to purge but I already have had plenty of things inside me and I don't want an alien parasite " Rabbi" its not as bad as it sounds grins " Hexvail" "you" have a higher tolerance then me " Rabbi" true" Hexvail" ( sometimes I think you like taking it the other way too, buuuuut,... I'm not going there ) =w= "

Rabbi" using his power summoning hi s guns still we need a game plan " Hexvail" look before we start picking fights with others we cant win, lets slowly build ourselves up, we can't beat killer yet, but her daughter maybe we can, and who knows maybe even mephlies he doesn't seem that rough around the edges " Rabbi" we don't see him serious either who knows what hes hiding , I'm more confident in fighting your boyfriend " Hexvail" what about the soldiers?" Rabbi" the dragon soldiers uhhhh.... maybe the other small fry no question " Hexvail "hmmm... sigh I'll talk to mandarin about it, he knows killer's fighting style more then either of us " Rabbi" he said he lasted over a minute and over time he got better and lasted longer" Hexvail" so beating him and melantha maybe thats where we need to start , building ourselves up ^^ " Rabbi" sounds like we have a strategy " Hexvail" something is better then nothing..but then again.. didn't that owl say what he gave melantha would give her stronger immunity to light energy?" Rabbi" something liek that, but lets be real it would probably kill us if we took it XP " Hexvail" if killer would turn us into beings like her that wouldn't be a problem but she won't DX " Rabbi" maybe it what makes us special she tries to preserve " Hexvail" special.. heh right all I see is nothing but connections to the life we left behind, I'd rather we be rid of it completely "



Rabbi" I heard you ran into your ex... " Hexvail" don't call him that T T he died a long time ago, " Rabbi" right sorry" Hexvail" ughhh.. now I sound stupid like I'm in denial asshe jumped ot her feet ... I need some air , I'm going to frappe delight " Rabbi" bright back the frost cookies if they have them " Hexvail" sure as she left she said with a soft sigh* ( sometimes I wish I shared your ability to put on a smile no matter what ) "



to be con.

** returning back to Sugars mobius after the conflict with the debate, sugar was now sitting as mayor and already acting a present for the people*



as of this morning



we are in the holding cell for mimic

inside he was sitting wrapped up in bandaged state after taking that shocking attack from surge he wasn't in a good state but he wasn't near death either



in the main hallway, whisper was walking down the hall towards his cell



Mimic" ahh, here to give your final words before I am sent to the gallows pup?" Whisper" to some degree perhaps, what I wanted to know is why, things were solid for us as a team, we had good money a base to live in , and even working as a team we trusted if you can agree its hard to find those to trust and form bonds, why would you through away a chance to have those you actually "can" trust. surely even you can agree t here is "some" benefit to keeping those who can full fill that much without the fear of being shafted." Mimic" hmph if you are asking me this question then surely you still miss the whole point as to why I did what I did" Whisper" so it was only out of your own fears... " Mimic" fears? or protection , its the same reason why you did the very same" Whisper" you blasted a child off a high top, I think I had my reason for not trusting anyone for a while, meanwhile you were older you've seen more you had your reason to not trust but you saw something in me , something in our team even if the first plan was to remain distant, something caused you to have second thoughts, you have to admit that much to yourself "



mimic shifted his eyes to the side considering her words for a moment



Whisper" so why ruin what we all had, if anything your own fear and doubt made you destroy your own family , something deep down you know you desired, trying to act like a cool veteran when your nothing more then a broken, selfish, old piece of seaweed " Mimic" don't try to act like your better then me! you've harvested just as much hatred as I have seeing why your here even now, you didn't want to wait for the trial you wanted to see him dead but your own hand didn't you not? at the end of the day your no better then me" Whisper" but you started the whole conflict, you showed me something I lost and helped me and you burned it all in front of me, how is it my fault when you caused the pain in the first place" Mimic" if anything I wanted to save you from the very pain you grew attached too " Whisper" ....* pinching the root of her nose*... warped logic.. the absolute best... fine stay here thinking your right in thinking everyone is your enemy when in reality you want it that way " Mimic" it works better that way, Zuzu " Whisper( Zuzu) what did you say?"



Mimic" please, you think I did not notice? it was a good attempt but I noticed fairly quickly " Zuzu" how!?" Mimic" whisper talks in short intervals , and when you opens your eyes briefly her eyes are yellow not green" Zuzu" damn it... I knew I shouldn't have second second myself changing back to herself whatever I thought I would get some closure for you and her but seems like it didn't matter to you either way " Mimic" should it?" Zuzu" sometimes you mobians are more inhumane then any of us monsters , its just fascinating to see first hand as she walked away Mimic" hmhm you do not know how deep the rabbit hole goes my little zeti shifting his eyes towards the toiletries in his cell



heading to sugar's office



Sugar" ...* singing to herself* ... Can you feel the sunshine, Does it brighten up your day Don't you feel that sometimes, You just need to run away, Reach out for the sunshine, And forget about the rain, Oh, just think about the good times ,And they will come back again....(Knock knock!!) enter"



kit and surge came into her office



Surge" so how has your first week as acting mayor have been " Sugar" trying to my sanity intact things have been... a challenge" Kit" well I'm sure it beats being at home all the time " Sugar" sometimes being at home is nice dear, but once I had everything in order I'm going to leave things on auto-pilot and hand it over the zavok and I'll back home in no time " Surge" eheh plus I'm sure the restoration is glad to have someone at the wheel who knows what there doing " Sugar" well not everyone..." ( Click) Zeena" Miss sugar, your 10:00 is here " Sugar" send her up " Kit" lanolin?" Sugar" no, amy , jsut going over a few formalities and getting something in written nothing big" Sugar" heh well big boss we won't keep you, seeing your sooo busy~ xD " Sugar" don't mock me surge T T" Surge" what? just a bit of fun XD ahaha we won in the end so why- o o..... not as they turned back to the door it was sonix and amy that arrived

Sonic" heh nice to see your integrating well into society surge he smirked Surge" suddenly her whole demeanor changed as she gave him a soft glare" Amy" its good to see mayor sugar thank you for just a quick appointment" Sugar" well you know me I've getting things done quickly and swiftly~ ^w^ but if I must say, I wasn't expecting to see sonic accompany you " Amy" well hes my bodyguard for today " Sonix" yeah you could say that " Surge" you can be off kids , time we talk business " as kit and surge walked passed surge still giving him a side eye as sparks flickered for a second *



Sugar" so what would make you believe amy's life would be in danger " Sonix" well you know , I think your concerns are warranted towards something with cannibal in there title " Amy" =w= sonic has told me things about you and.. well I can't say I believe it or not, but given this is the most engagement hes given me, I had to jump at the chance to have his company" Sugar" - - which speaks more about him then you, sigh and on top of that given everything... from eggman ,to the zeti, to the virus, to my daughters, to silver ... "you" are just determined to make this a problem... as she softly opened her eyes showing a tinted red glow I wanted this meeting to go smoothly with the adults in the room without the children" Sonic" well sometimes the children keep the adults in line , the only question now is whos the adults in the room he smirked



Sugar" AHahahah xD- I WiLL EnD YoU in a fraction of a second she warped towards him having her chains coated in teeth and saliva and blood wrapped around him like a snake as he eyes met wiht his with a darkness hiding her face before with that same second she returned to her normal composed self Well with that being the case why don't I be a good host and order some beverages for us to begin shall we ^w^ "





Amy" you know sonic I understand your worry but maybe your over stepping just a little bit " Sonic"I'm not sure if that's possible with her " Amy" listen I know your worried but right now pushing buttons isn't going to help anyone , I can handle myself and I can handle her, so can you wait outside for me?" Sonic"........" Amy" please? looking back towards sugar as she merely had her arms crossed Sonic" sigh alright but the moment I hear anything off.. " Amy" it will be fine I promise " as sonic took a walk outside sugar closed the door behind him, while quickly letting out a heavy sigh Sugar" I'm honestly surprised he listened " Amy" its okay I know how to handle him" Sugar" do you now.. " Amy" yes~ but to clear up any bad ideas he has told me everything, your name being really killer, and the events with eggman and the killings and all that, honestly I didn't want to believe him at first and he gave me not much but his word- Sugar" its true" Amy" eh?" Sugar" if we're going to transparent to this degree I might as well just air it all out, yes before I became the iteration I am those events did happen, I also killed starline for what he did to surge and kit and I adopted them as my own I love them to bits, Amy" but the eating people? " Sugar"...." Amy" t-this conversation won't let this room if... that's what your worried about " Sugar" I've been more selective , targets that wouldn't be missed " Amy"..*taking a deep breathe* I see, and your not really a zeti? its just another form?" Sugar" mhm" Amy" then... how do you really look?" Sugar" well for now* changes to her echidna self* this is the new appearance I've given myself as you know me now which is "sugar " my "real" real self I don't think you could handle " Amy" given all the stories and instances I'm somewhat morbidly curious now " Sugar" are you sure" Amy" fine, hit me" Sugar" just try not to scream*changes to killer* Amy" ?!!!O O;; cupping hr mouth...." Sugar" changes back* see? " Amy" panting softly ...o-okay... okay... I can see why sonic but be just a little worried " Sugar" ...mhm but honestly I wanted ot keep this under wraps, but he keeps forcing my damn hand " Amy" he means well " Sugar" the road to hell is paved with good intentions. "



Amy" > >; .....well um keeping thins on topic " Sugar" funds for the restoration, requests for equipment and services right?" Amy" yes " as sugar brought a stack of papers to the table Sugar" I won't make you review everything just the sections I highlighted, and all you have to do is sign at the bottom " * as amy did just that taking the time to read over the sections over in the expenses for the freedom fighters and the restoration " Amy" it was challenging to get this much out of mayor owl and here you are just handing it over" Sugar" it was because it would have been a financial strain, applying to every location in each zone, the compromise would have been to make it the main zones your primary bases are located. and the rest you'll have to make due, talking with over with him he felt that would have turning them into big targets which he didn't want, and I understood that but I think its still for the better to have it then not at all "



Amy" so a damn if you do and damned if you don't situation" Sugar" pretty much - - so I don't blame him on that front, bu I prefer to handle problems as they come instead of worrying"



meanwhile outside, sonic was jsut steadily pacing the hall jsut waiting



Sonix" ( the fact she was willing to boot me out just proves killer has some kind of hold on everyone, why else would she. its not like I'm the one being unreasonable, given my past encounters with her as sonix leaned against the wall why does she always believe I'm the one actingin the wrong does she not see herself? am I really being unreasonable ... "



as sonix continued ot have monologues to himself sugar couldn't help but hear his thoughts outside the door



Sugar" sigh... why do you care for him so greatly" " Amy" hm?" Sugar" sonic , given his track record towards you and others why, I'm sure you could pick better" Amy" the bitter irony is you might be right... I could but I've given my heart to him so many times I guess.. I feel like I want to be the one thing in his life he knows remains true, in a sense I want to keep him grounded, even if he always has trouble returning those feelings" Sugar" but thats not fair on you, your not responsible for him , hell the guy mooches off of you when he needs a place to stay T T or food " Amy" during one time time I remember the mayor offered him anything he wanted as a way to say thank you, he could have gotten a house for himself but he turned it down, saying he'd rather stay loose and travel" Sugar" groans we ll need a place to sleep" Amy" I suppose he'd rather sleep in trees then in a bed she laughed " Sugar" ....." Amy" don't get me wrong sonic does have his bone head moments but him saving all of us from eggman really does make him an hero an icon, sure he may not make the most sound choices for himself personally but he always looks out for the best for everyone" Sugar" can you honestly see yourself starting a life with him" " Amy" sigh you know some girls like a project, maybe unfortunately I'm one of those types " Sugar" well coming from someone who has a children and a husband else where, take my advise, don't wait your best years on a loser " Amy" your the first person I've heard call sonic a loser " Sugar" I could say other things, but I'm trying to be nice " Amy" noted signing on the last document okay that should be everything" sugar taking the papers as she scanned through them mhm....mhm... yeah thats everything~ "



Amy" you know for all his worry your honestly kind of reasonable " Sugar" again just don't poke a sleeping bear and everyone will be fine -w- something he does not understand yet" Amy" not my only concern right now is the deadly six where will they fit into all this? " Sugar" i f they start up trouble trust me you will have what you need to deal with them, and on the flip side I will be having talks with zavok myself I've seen him, hes like eggman but more reasonable, " Amy" is there such a thing?" Sugar" well you know there are alternatives with me, but no one wants them l3 " Amy" if it involves having there head on a spike I can understand why" Sugar" hmhm~ just like mimic is going to be very soon" suddenly there was a knock at the door Sugar" who is it?" Worker" Mayor we have a situation! as he rushed in Mimic has escaped the holding cell! " Sugar" how? those rooms don't even have windows or door" Worker" from the security footage it appears he got out through the toilet? " Amy" slightly disgusted...." Sugar" how-... > > wait... hes an octopus right?" Worker" yes" Sugar" makes sense > > Amy" how the pipes for a drain are as small as my arm " Sugar" and your a creature with no skeleton, that really shouldn't be an issue " Amy" @w@... I won't even question it..." Sugar" well can we track his moments at least" Worker" well the pipes lead to the waste compound at the swamp shore lines " Amy" well this was what we were made for, I can get guys down there to find him" Sugar" I will leave it to you, Amy" ^^ "



Amy" come on sonic we have work on our hands " Sonix" so what? everything went well " Amy" yes I told you to trust me " Sonix" you I trust her not so much" Amy" well trust me that trusts her okay?" Sonix" alright alright I'll go with it ( for now )



laving sugar to herself in her office she flopped down on her chair letting out a heavy sigh... poeple just listen to me everything can work our smoothly, thats all it takes - -"







back home



living room



Surge" you alright zuzu you look little worked up?" Zuzu" just that stupid squid is all " Surge" what mimic ? I thought he was locked up" Zuzu" somehow he got out, right now hes in swamp forest zone" Surge"!? " Kit" are they going after him" Zuzu" probably as she sat down on the couch I tried to have my final words wiht him as whisper and somehow he knew it was me pretty easy" Surge" well he grew up with whisper don't be too hard on yourself :/ " Zuzu" still >< grabbing the blanket and wrapping herself up in it " Kit" its funny you wrap yourself up in a blanket whenever your frustrated, little things like that that let us know your upset" Zuzu".........." Surge" honestly I shouldn't have pulled my punches I should have jsut shocked him into nothing, cause seriously why does everyone seem to act like starline, and pretend to love you only to betray you later XP " Kit" hmm... Zuzu"........ fumbling with his hands a bit as he stayed quiet*



Zuzu" yeah... " Surge" well anyway leave it for the "new and improved" restoration to deal him I'm going to practice a bit on my base tossing the remote on to the blanket pile that was zuzu as surge took her leave for her room, kit grabbed the remote while zuzu had no real reaction



Kit" zuzu... did mimic say something that hurt you?" Zuzu" why would you even say that.." Kit" I just.. I never seen you this bothered by anyone's words or actions unless it was mom" Zuzu".....* sighing heavily as she pulled the blanket inward. after which she sat up letting it sit on her lap* ... I take pride in my disguises as in people I change into hiding in the crowds not only in appearance but in powers as well , mom has been helping get better and better and I really felt it was a test to have a QnA with that damn octopus and then hes all just" oh by the way I know your not whispers" I'm just..what! ..* gritting her teeth" Kit" well some can be more perspective then others , you can't know everything about someone to copy them" Zuzu" ...* sighs* I don't know I just... I just want him dead... never had I had a taste for sushi before..." Kit" hes not worth it zuzu and maybe h e wants to get you riled up like this, don't play into it " Zuzu" play into it , he has morea beef with whisper not me I'm suppose to get him riled up not the other way around! kicking the blanket off as she got up storming off



Kit " ( she really is upset.. ) " as she stormed down the hall with her arms crossed and her tail wiping back and forth suddenly she her surge playing but kept repeating as the last note was off key

(Aghhhh! come on I can get it! )

Zuzu" coming to the door she watched surge playing on her base guitar from khalon as she came tuning it" ... " upon playing the notes again it was the same thing" Surge" groans ( its not the tuning its your hand) what? " Zuzu" walking into to the room the tune is fine but its where your fingers are as she moved her hand up a few inches try it now " Surge".....* trys it out and the tone was in scync* o o huh, just that small change?" Zuzu" zeti have a acute hearing to frequencies and stuff so you know I could tell what you were trying to do" Surge" !? you know you I totally forogt your kind had that thing, and here I am trying to practice wiht you in the house > >;; " Zuzu" its alright I don't bring it up that much" Surge" still " Zuzu" it s good at least your getting better so its not so assigning she grinned " Surge" fuck off" Zuzu" you first " ( ahahahaha~) Surge" heh... speaking of good hearing, I heard your talk with drippy, don't let tht bastard get under your skin alright, your still good at what you do and way better then him " Zuzu" thank you for saying scratching her head " Surge" hey since your good at hearing why not help me with my music, I want to get something done for khalon and well, I'm sure you noticed >///> " Zuzu" what? that it sounds like a chicken playing the- o o...>< catching herself ... that you've been having some trouble, and sure why not I can throw in my two cents " Surge" still trying to cover that knife you call a tongue " Zuzu" okay we both need a little work sue me as she threw herself on her beanbag chair (Boof!) Surge" watch the horns remember what happened to the last one Zuzu" relax, I remember as she changed into a purple mobian cat Surge" don't we have enough purple cats around here" Zuzu" >w> changes into an echidna eyyy now I'm a sister to melantha~ " Surge" I thought she scared you shitless? " Zuzu" I like melantha! its her mom; which is the true version of our mom that scares me shitless! DX " Surge" laughs XD " Zuzu" so lets get started on your song before I change my mind X///P Surge" your still a gremlin no matter what" Zuzu" and your still a spark plug , I could have said a different plug but I'm learning to be better " Surge" pissed....looks like we're learning ^w^ gritting her teeth "



eventually sugar made her way home



walking inside, she tosses her coat on the hanger



Sugar" so this is what it means to be a working single mother... I don't like it taking a sit at the kitchen table ( but overall things should be going well , apart from mimic getting out he won't be gone for long, not with out the hounds chasing him, so I'm not really concerned about that.... there are still other parties that want to but head with me and other groups that don't approve of me taking over so I suppose extremist factions are going to be a be a thing?) as he thoughts were starting to clutter her mind the sound of music started ot catch her ears as it filled the room ..?? *



following it up to surges room she found her playing a consistent melody on her guitar, with zuzu in the room with her enjoying her playing

after playing out the final key



Zuzu" looks like you finally got it down! XD " Surge" letting out soft sigh as she smirked yeah looks like I finally got it down" Sugar" I'll say~ " Zuzu" mom!" Surge" we didn't hear you come back" Sugar" I just got in the door, how glad it is to be back - - and I see you've been making some progress~ Surge" who would have thought gremlin would work as a good tone gauge for my music" Zuzu" well at least to tell between ear splitting or a lullaby shouldn't be that hard she laughed Sugar" nods " Surge" so what is the situation with mimic?" Sugar" right now the freedom fighters will deal with him, I'm not that concerned, as for how things will be operating well stream lining was in order and you can already see the effects taking hold, but I don't want to start repeating myself - -, I have dinner to make " Surge&Zuzu" > >...." Surge" actually, kit was going to make dinner tonight " Sugar" wait what?" Surge" we weren't sure when you would have gotten off work , so kit volunteered to make dinner for us " Sugar" his ears touch the counter before he does " " Surge" that's what I said, but he has made some adjustments "



making her way to the kitchen kit was already busy cutting and dicing in the kitchen, using his water to make himself taller and having streams water the size of his fingers gripping the utensils needed to cut or stir he was making plenty progress on his own



Sugar" well I'll be, and here I thought showing you how to cook was going to benefit you both " Surge" well hes has more patience then I do " Sugar" well if thats the case I suppose that leaves me plenty of time to unwind ^^ "



taking opportunity sugar made herself a bath to sit and rest in



Sugar" ( even thought things went by smoothly - - I still can't get over sonix trying to cause a dilemma )



(Sonix" alright fine, you want ot know why I'm always in your face, you kill and eat people you are a danger to myself and everyone, and as long as your still around I wil lbe there to watch over them!)

Sugar" even if your more of a hindrance then a help, but I doubt that will be something he'll understand, this life or the next.. ) as she sunk into the water resting



meanwhile kit had just finished preparing the main course for everyone



Surge "wow drippy this doesn't look half bad XD " Kit" its amazing what you can look with a few internet searches " Zuzu" so we gonna eat or what " Kit" shouldn't we wait for mom?" Surge" she aid we can go ahead when we're ready " Kit" well try not to eat everything , zuzu" Zuzu" hey XP "



back in the bathroom sugar was just drying her quills/hair while in the mists unannounced to her water filling back up in the tub drain suddenly it was mimic as he stepped out of the tub clenching his blade he grabbed sugar from behind covering her mouth



Mimic" sorry to come in like this, but I hate leaving a job unfinished , nothing personal slighting her throat (Thud!) looks like I have a habit of leaving children orphaned, but it is what it is "

as he started to take her appearance as he reached for the door but suddenly the door knob refused to budge ?? " Sugar" you know.. I knew you were slithering through the pipes before you even came Mimic" ?!!" Sugar" getting back on her feet* you really should have just taken the lost instead of tracking me down" Mimic" wh- what the hell are you!? " Sugar" someone you never should have met "



( Rumbling! , Thud!!) Everyone" ?!!"



a few moments later sugar came down to the dinning room

Sugar" well I guess kit has become the new chef in the house xD " kit" >w> " Surge" what was all that noise? " Sugar" I dropped the shampoo bottle and trying to catch it I slipped" Zuzu" ahahah wow maybe let kit catch it next time " Sugar" maybe next time I will~ " Sugar" you got little blood on your mouth " Sugar" heh, by the way I still have to clean up the small mess in there xD "

looking in the bathroom mimic was mauled and ripped apart laying against the wall with blood on the tile floor "





switching scenes

one morning



we see a kitchen tile floor , we find rouge herself making herself making a cup of coffee, asshe walked to the table with her cup, letting out a soft sigh as she blew on the surface , meanwhile shadow dropped a newspaper in front her



Rouge"?? you? having breakfast before off to work, that's not like you, " Shadow" I can take it slow if I want do, I just don't " Rouge" hmph.." Shadow" sadly I cannot say the same for you, " Rouge" whatever do you mean- as she opened up the paper, seeing the headline was about breezie funding a new coliseum ( girls spends burns through money like firewood )..." Shadow" I've see you've been a little different lately" Rouge" I think I've been the same " Shadow" after you so called reached your ideal figure , you stopped joining me on jobs , I haven't see you being as daring for your own private work and you've spend most of your time with ruby, not that I'm complaining but, something keeps telling me not.. yourself " Rouge"......* putting her cup down she sighed*...to be honestly dear your right, I haven't , I've turned into full time employer for Velvet watching ruby at night and as thankful as I am for it I can't deny I started to feel guilty just dumping the heavy work on her " Shadow" you only called her for missions its not like it was every single day " Rouge" still, I've seen the after math, even thought that cake blows it off , last week she turned into a living paper shredder and completely destroyed all the toilet paper in the bathroom, the week before that, she hitched a ride on the pizza delivery car and midnight needed to chase her down rubbing her eyes tiresomely... " Shadow" at least no damages was made and midnight caught her before she got hurt* Rouge" and week before that, she made a vinegar and baking soda bomb in the oven* Shadow " well it needed to clean out anyway "



Rouge" then when its all said and down the side of her I mostly have is the sweet gem she is, but this alien side of her is getting out of hand, and its making it hell for the kids and I have been feeling like I was shift my work onto them" Shadow" its simply a phase she'll out grow it and will be able to control it " Rouge" you sound so sure , you didn't know of your alien half until we meet eclipse " Shadow " responding emotionally about it won't help, I believe if we keep our heads and monitor her behavior she will understand how to handle this part of her at least until she is able to take control of it herself " Rouge" sigh maybe we should have let your brother see about her " Shadow" I hope that's a bad joke" Rouge" I don't want to sound like a bad mother I really don't DX, but I'm dealing with a alien baby and I like being prepped for my needs, seriously. and another thing thats eating at me is I've had no desire to treasure hunt and suddenly I feel like I'm losing a part of myself holding her head as her eyes became welled with tears ready to fall ... am I a bad mother? " Shadow" no one ever said this would be easy, but I think we've been doing good thus far, and your far from a bad mother, " Rouge" tsk,, coming from the "ultimate life form " Shadow" "ultimate" is not the same as perfect I've had my screw ups but I over come them , maybe raising a child wasn't something you never for saw as a challenge for yourself "



Rouge" I can raise a damn child! look at midnight! what I have trouble with is the alien gremlin my ruby turns into at night fall! " Shadow" but her night affairs don't happen with us " Midnight" walking into the kitchen velvet believe the other part of her is conscious of what there doing making trouble for me and velvet but when you and dad are at home shes sound sleep and no fuse what so ever " Rouge" ( I don't want to curse my baby and say its a kathy and killer situation ) ... " Shadow" at least it recognizes who's in charge " Rouge" thankfully but that doesn't mean you two should have the trouble I leave you with every time I want to go solo, I'm sorry to admit this but I'm not a homebody , and yet I'm being forces " Shadow" neither does Yube" Rouge" yube? " Shadow" this night gremlin as you call her , yube since its not quote un quote ruby " Rouge" don't give it a name DX and you just spelt ruby backwards. really? " Midnight " pfffttt...somehow I find it ironic and fitting* while he was pulling out a burrito out of the fridge he noticed the wrapper ha a bite mark in it * o o "



Shadow" maybe shes a night person liek you as well, and being inside and sleep isn't working for her" Rouge" I hope your not suggesting..." Shadow" certain missions we take her with us or maybe on your little treasure hunts, alittle mother and daughter time " Rouge" ...* having a expression of disbelief* yeah, maybe I can also ask her why my milk acts as a sedative as well"" Midnight" maybe it works like a drug heh suddenly rouge's eyes shoot towards him giving him that "be quiet" look making midnight go back to making his breakfast



Shadow" shes is growing fairly fast perhaps moving beyond the house and seeing the world with you will temper her a bit , we do not have much to lose , and on top of that you'll be able to stretch your wings once again " Rouge" ..... " Midnight" on top of that you don't really have to worry about danger for her she can handle herself which is odd to say for a baby" Rouge ' even if all of this make sense kathy will clap my ass faster then sonic goes on a jog around the planet if she gets hurt " Shadow" well maybe a test run how about that? " Midnight" ad looks like you got your test run right here~ "



reading the paper " Breezie unveils Hawk eye Diamond as the center piece of the new

coliseum a diamond shaped bird behind a glass case* Shadow " I'm sure childs play for someone like you no pun intended " Rouge"..... folding up the paper I'll.. consider it... tossing it



shifting scenes again to a kitchen table

we switch to the babylon rogues on here blimp

Storm" you were right boss, she couldn't resist putting that bird on display for the world to see! " Jet" ahahah that women has a ego bigger then her tits, finally the final piece of the puzzle the Hawk Eye Diamond , we snatch this up that treasure is as good as ours and the best part is no one else piece together the clues yet making us the first! Swallow" wasn't that because the clues were in hieroglyphics which had to be translated " Jet" yes and my weeks pieces it together finally paid off , all we needed was the pieces! and the final one is right there out in the open~ "



Storm" whispers I was starting to think the boss had gone crazy " Wave" I think a months worth of a dark chao coffee in two weeks will do that to you, he still hasn't fixed his sleep scheduled " Jet" I can still hear you two, you know! " Storm&Wave" !! ><; " Jet" but regardless will be eaten good after this heist ~ and nothing will get in our way "







returning back with rouge



we find her in a bubble bath with ruby in her lap



Rouge" ( just take you with me on a heist... that's all your suggestions.. sure why not... and even if I wanted to, kathy would have my head... I just ... ) ruby started clapping her hands trying to catch the bubbles hovering around her Rouge" hmhm* unable to hide the smile on her face she poked ruby's noise* my little gem there too fragile to touch~ unlike you though, but they do have a point... I just I just need a hint a clue something, what is this "other" in you that is doing all this what do you need..? holding her up to her chest while ruby grabbed her finger

Rouge" hehe already got a strong grip there baby~ I wonder are you gonna be a get into kick boxing like your mother did -w- but at least under less dire circumstances she sighed come on yube as shadow called you I know you hear us what are you itching for, or are you just embedded emotions with no reason at all, just tell me" Ruby" ...o o....* letting out a small yawn she just waved her hand a happily as any child would* Rouge" tsk, like I will magically get an answer like that - - but I wouldn't mind taking that job the hawk eye diamond its so beautiful it would be a classic center piece for the table l3 or even my glass case and just to spite that business women it would be a small added bonus *



after taking the shower head she quickly both of them off, and got ruby wrapped up in the towel Rouge" look at you~ little bat burrito my little bat burrito X3 <3 boops her nose, rouge wrapped herself up in her wings while at the same time rouge was still drying her off its alright baby you'll be dry in a moment tossing the towel over he head drying her hair ^w^ " (Growling)

hmm? baby are you- okaaaaAHHHHYyyy! lifting the towel off her head her eyes were closed as the third eye makes itself present causing rough to jump Y-yube!? " Yube* wrapping themselves up in the towel* ... Rouge" shaking off the initial shock she grabbed her again in her arms you know you've been a little hell raiser, why T T " Yube" holding her head down for a moment she just lifted her head up again reaching towards rouge" Rouge" why make trouble for velvet, midnight " Yube" ........." Rouge" why make trouble for them but with me your peaceful almost non active , I know you know what I'm saying T T" Yube" pro..tect... you.. no where... " Rouge" no where? protect? you mean you trying to protect ruby since me or shadow aren't at home?" " Yube" (hisss) ruby.... ruby " Rouge" wha- you don't like yube" Yube" hisses again *



Rouge" well heh I never liked it either, but I can't just settle it all like this, will you stop making a mess for velvet and midnight" Yube" ni!" Rouge" ni? what does that mean? no? you want to still be a monster T T" Yube" ni! she crawled on the floor to a stool taking the paper with the picture of the diamond on it and held up to rouge ick! ick! " Rouge" I.. don't understand Yube" Icckkkk! ><! bites down on the paper .." Rouge"... you want me to take you with me on the heist?" Yube" tossing the paper and nuzzles her Rouge" ( this can't be real , I have to be day dreaming or something)... alright if I take you will you promise no more causing problem for velvet when she babysits do you understand that? Yube" ick! " Rouge" I'll take that as a yes"

(knock knock) Sarah" rouge are you alright I heard you shout a bit ago! " Rouge" I'm fine! just ahh...spider that's all looking back towards ruby and she looks like her normal self again with the third eye gone ..." Rouge" ruby?" Ruby" sneezes >< " Rouge" sigh I'm going insane aren't I? but fine. chaos take the wheel , might as well mark this as my retirement~ "





later that evening

in the living room midnight and velvet t was watching TV



Midnight" I think its terrible he keeps leading her along" Velvet" well if simon didn't black mail her ex then maybe he could jsut be up front with her " at that moment shadow came in the room as though he was looking for someone Shadow" kids? is ruby with you? Midnight" mom took ruby with her for a evening walk she said she would be back soon " Shadow" evening walk? ( but I thought she was going ot go on her little heist* crossing his arms* ( and plus omega is normally kept in standby for repairs around this time...) o o... shadow quickly ran to there bedroom and found some carry bags missing along with some gear taken from the wardrobe



Shadow" rouge...you wouldn't.... "



meanwhile at the New Megalo stadium , it was during closing hours but we are given a visual on a tablet of the location of the hawk eye diamond with then lobby, rouge was standing on a rouge top along with omega and on her back was a baby carrier with ruby sitting along with her



Omega" you are either incredibly insane or stupid to do this stunt " Rouge" look I already questioned myself a number of times but ruby's "other" side promises to finally behavior for the kids if we go on this little stunt together " Omega" ruby is too young to give that level of consent, you will not let me even teach her how to use a hand gun" Rouge" there is a stark difference between bringing a baby along for the ride verses giving them a bloody weapon you overgrown blender! " Omega" percentage levels of harm still equal out the same , aren't you suppose to be the parent in this situation! " Rouge" I am! I've gone through everything perfectly, I do heists like this with my eyes closed " Omega" that I believe " Rouge" shes just along fro the ride, once you activate the EMP field it will disable the security for 6 minutes plenty of time for me to go in grab it and get it out easy just like that knucklehead~ l3 " Omega" and yet you can never steal the master emerald even though its in the open " Rouge" o o.... pinching the root of her nose as her ears folded " Omega" just acknowledging the facts. " Rouge" sjut! do what I asked you to do so we can get home before shadow figures out my evening run is more then a walk " Omega" fine, but if shadow or kathy arrives, I am making no promises. as his claws retracted and a beacon came out as he let out a signal that suddenly shut down the security in the building Go! you have 6 minutes! " Rouge" time to see mommy at work dear~ <3 spreading her wings she dives down towards the building making her way inside



meanwhile



Jet" what do you mean the security just went dead?" Wave" its just as I said read the spec for yourself , the security system just went offline, but then again I'm picking up some abnormal signals on our feed so its either two things. 1) there security system is ass cheeks. or 2) someone else is here trying to steal it first. and my guess is on the later cause I've never known breezie to cut corners " Storm" bunk that! there is no way we're letting some loser take our heist first! lets jsut go in and grab it while we can! " Wave" no! you big brute we still have ot play this smart" Jet" actually let him! " Wave" what?" Storm" wha?" Jet" like you said wave if the security system is donw right now chances are the cameras are too, storm can barge his way in grab it first, and they will blame the damage on the thief who cause the security to go dead " Wave" well.. I suppose that could work > > but then-" Storm" hell yeah! I won't let you down boss ! as he grabs his gear and as the shaft door open up he jumped down Here comes the storm!! "



Wave" hes been waiting so long to use that T T...." Jet" you can't deny he has spirit " Wave" I have spirit too you know! mumbles if you let me show you... " Jet" hm?" Wave" nothing nothing >///<, anyway! all these systems have a silent alarm so chances are the legion police will be on there way " Jet" then will make this quick as we can "



inside as rouge was crawling through the vents eventually she reached a gate that lead straight to the lobby



Ruby" -w-.... " " Rouge* ( come on, come on as she tried to feel for any screws or latches to undo they wielded this shut? sigh fine, make it hard I didn't want to use a bomb but if I'm- (kakakaka!) wha ruby? suddenly yube climbed out of her back pack laying a rouge's shoulder

ruby no what are you doing , I said your only along for the ride suddenly yube started to cough and wheeze don't tell me your sick right-( Gulaah haaa!) O O;; ( Siizzzzzzzz) yube had vomited some green substances onto the gate and the fluid had some acid like substance that dissolved the gate like butter Rouge" um...okay... ? ( Hiiah! ) yube jumped down attempting to take the lead but rouge in a panic, rushed and grabbed her

Rouge" ruby no! >< as he whole body left the shaft with only her foot hanging on for balance as her wings kept her afloat



Rouge relieved... its never that simple.. tapping the palm of her glove she opened her hand out as the glove started to spray a mist that revealed laser sensors around the floor and display* now we just gently make our way down as she made herself right side up and slowly hovered down while avoiding the beams swiftly and cleanly before letting out a sigh of relief now then.. can you stick wiht mommy so we can get out here ?" Yube" XP" reaching over her head to drop yube back in her backpack safely , but in doing so. her breast stretched out just enough to touch one of the lasers o o.... that is so damn cheap ><; ( Bam! Bam! SMASH!!) suddenly the front door came flying in from being smashed open



Storm" that diamond bird is mine lady so stepside!" Rouge" does everyone have to steal something on the same day!? DX" Storm" well Wednesday nights is for bowling, but thats besides the point! as storm rushed towards the display rouge quickly cut him off by tackling him herself with a drop kick ( ooff!) Rouge" sorry big boy but mommy needs her spoils for the night~ asshe grabbed the bird first but storm . gettign back into the fight was about to tackle her again, but suddenly ruby tackled him first like an alien face hugger causing him to fumble his charge*



Storm" Ahhhh I can't see! ( Blam!) crashing into one another and completely tearing down the near by curtains it became a tussle all at the same time, while as both of them started to pull the curtain apart each trying to get away (Riipppp) Storm" the diamond belongs to the rogues lady! " Rouge" I was here first! Rouge" I was here first" ( FREEZE your both under arrest! ) as legion officers started flooding the door way Rouge" for pete sake! thisis not my style as she suddenly let out a hand full of smoke bombs that eventually gassed the entire room she quickly grabbed what she thought was ruby and the diamond and made her exit while storm did the same*



rouge made her way to the same roof top as before meeting up with omega



Rouge" panting heavily I swear.. chaos is testing me tonight... " Shadow" I could say the same thing about you T T" Rouge" O O;; // shadow nice to see you ; I was just on my way back~ " Sahdow" sure, after a heist with a baby no less T T" Rouge" look its complicated okay and in some ways ruby helped me she was natural~ as she opened up the ripped curtain revealing she had the diamond hawk but the eyes were gone, and as rouge was searching for ruby she completely searched the whole cloth and she was no where to be found O O;; " Shadow" where is ruby" Rouge" don't tell me that damn bird my baby! DX " Shadow" you don't have her" Rouge" okay don't panic the babloyn rogues have her by chances there blimp has to be near by "



Omega" I think you should worry about yourself for the moment " Rouge" why woudl that be ruby is more in danger then me-... suddenly her whole face went pale as she saw kathy standing there with her arms crossed in her night shirt with her hair braided up with a sharp gaze in her eyes Rouge" Kathy~ darling~ my sweet pink babe, bakery and jewelry queen ^w^;;; wonderful seeing you hear this evening" Kathy" growls as she tapped her foot Rouge" o-okay its not as bad as it seems , I promise >w>" Kathy" oh please do tell, my sweet babe T T" Rouge ears folded it wasn't suppose to be like this ;w; I just wanted to give some exitcement for my daughter and me"



Kathy" oh well you got plenty of that, for sure "



meanwhile back on there ship ruby was sleeping in the ripped curtain storm brought back along with only the eyes of the hawk



Storm " huh I wondered why it felt lighter then before" Wave" You...meat headed, coo coo brained PIGEON!! I as she jumped him YOU HAD ONE JOB, ONE FUCKING JOB AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN DO THAT!...( Smash! Crashh!) while they were tussling in the background jet picked up the the two jewelry eyes of the hawk as he examined them closely... guys... guys.... GUYS ENOUGH!!" as both of them paused I need a few minutes to study something, I'll be in my office, just keep an eye on the baby till I'm done and will deal with it after words"



Storm" but I've never dealt with the baby before" Wave" so typical of a meat head like you T T" Storm" oh yeah! I don't see you taken care of any kids" Wave" well its easy for me obviously -w-, shes sleep right now so at least not much is needed " Storm" was" Wave" wha-? taking another look seeing ruby way awake looking around the room Wave&Storm".........." Ruby" ;w;.... " Wave" No no no its okay, okay, its okay its-" ( WAHHHHHHHHHH!!) as ruby started crying out don't cry..." Storm" >< it wasn't suppose to be this way "





with in jets office after half an hour, having the eyes over a magnifying glass , upon the back o fthe eyes were markings that looked like engravings , examining between the two the engravings wrere both different from one another

(Rumble!) ( come in its okay~! don't cry...! ) (CRasshhh!) ( Nooo No nO put that don't down don't touch that! Ow ow ow ow ! ( Crash!) >< just 5 minutes... to think, that's all I need" I'm reaching a break through I know it" quickly taking a magnified picture he placed the pieces inside a case before going back outside*



going back inside the living quarters, ruby was pulling on waves hair while she was trying to get her to let go while storm was looking up a guide on how to help babies fall asleep , meanwhile the whole room looked like a tornado hit it



Wave" please.. can you please let go ><;;; " Ruby" ahah XD" Storm" a soothing music and a warm blanket can help get them to relax! " Wave" we can't even get her to sit still! let alone anything else! just get hero ff me please " Jet" nice to see you guys are the perfect set of parents " Storm " boss we never dealt with a baby before DX " Jet" well you guys maybe, consider yourselves lucky as he grabbed something to fill in as a toy ... hey~ (Whistles) " Ruby" o o !?" Jet" you want to play with something? come on (Whistles in pockets) suddenly his whistling had her attention long enough for wave to loosen her grip on her hair as jet gave her the toy" Wave" how did you.. know" Jet" mobian babies with acute hearing respond better to high pitch calls then just calling them by name sometimes getting a clean blanket to wrap her in* Wave" oo ( hes good with children?! ;w; ) heh didn't know you were good with baby sitting " Jet" its not like I had a real choice, back when I was stuck on the south islands with Kuku learning the ropes he would force me to baby sit his son or look after the hatchlings, anything to keep me busy T T " Storm".... thats right, but kuku always had a soft spot for you, isn't that way speeds hates you" Jet" kuku sees no value in you unless you give results, I'm the way I am because I hated him and I wanted to get away from him but now he loves me for my skills but hates the fact I don't follow his lead and speeds hates me because his father pays attention to me more then him " Wave" even those hes your uncle" Jet" nghhh.. but thats here nor there rocking ruby in his arms Storm" so speeds hates you for got getting the support of your uncle which is his dad, and you hate him cause he was never supportive until way later after you got older?" Jet" exactly" Storm" got see I can piece things together " Wave" rolling her eyes and yet you still lock the diamond , lets not forget"



Storm" ..." Jet" actually it might not matter because we- ( knock knock knock!) Wave" is that knocking?" Storm" but we're in the air :/ how can someone be at the door" suddenly at that moment kathy teleported herself and rouge into the main room Kathy" sorry I just felt it was considerate to give fair warning before just appearing in someone else's home "

Jet" rouge!?" Rouge" long time no see green bean, I believe you have someone that belongs to me" Storm" you have something that belongs to us! hand over the hawk you won't get your baby back! " Wave" you idiot! do you know who your talking two! kathy had a reputation for being protective of children she can snap our ship in half if she wanted too! " Kathy" I could, but I'm letting someone clean up there own mess , I'm only here as a transport T T stepping aside Rouge" its just as my darling says, hand over ruby and things won't have to turn ugly~ "



Kathy" I'd say this place is already ugly have you ever cleaned up in here DX " Wave" the baby has been having a field day and causing havoc " Rouge" so maybe its your best interest to hand her over " Jet" hand over the hawk then and will call it a trade " Rouge" > > looking towards kathy, who quickly turned her nose up as she turned her head. her ears folded back as she sighed fine* will make a trade but I cant' say she 'll be happy about it " Jet" who?" Rouge" ruby" Jet" your baby is falling asleep why would she care about this" * as she made the trade giving ruby back to rouge as they took the hawk" Wave" wel lthat was a bit more hazarding then it should have been"

( Grrrrowelllll!) Storm" what the!? " suddenly yube came out launching herself towards them attemping to take back the diamond but kathy quickly asted a energy bubble holding her in place

Yube" GRaalllooo!! Kaai naha la nkaha!! " Wave" when she sleeps shes get a third eye!? wha the hell is his child!? " Rouge" see I told you! she would response this way! " Kathy" yes yes I see , shes little misbehaving" Rouge" I wanted her to stop makign things hell for midnight and velvet thats why I brought her I didn't mean to put her in trouble" Kathy" shes a baby she can't make deicions on her own! T T " Yube" Ick! Co co ko no ba ba! does a raspberry towards kathy Kathy" did she just talk back to me? " scratching her claws against the bubble Kathy" bad girl no! sprays her with the water bottle Jet" the hell did you sleep with to get this creature " Rouge" this "creature" is my baby thank you very much! " Wave" ( maybe you should have reconsidered ) " Rouge" it was suppose ot bea simple run no more no less " Kathy" that's called enabling , you don't want to do that to children otherwise they will come our spoiled you have to show discipline meanwhile yube was ramming her head against the bubble trying to break it and see how much shes fighting against me you haven't been very strict with her have you " Rouge" how in the world am I going to be strict with a baby and especially when she is only like this when ruby is asleep DX" Kathy" well like all mothers you adapt and learn, which "you" are going to be doing with me for the next week on top of that ruby will be in my care" for that time" Rouge" what? so I don't get to look over my own child" Kathy" after today? no, T T"



Rouge" I never meant for her to get hurt I truly didn't ;w; it wasn't suppose to be like this a simple get in get out thats all" Kathy" well everything never goes according to plan, I know you didn't mean it but , regardless, if you were more strict towards this "other" side of ruby you wouldn't have put the innocent one at risk keep that in mind " Rouge" ...." suddenly the third eye started to narrow its gaze towards kathy expressing it wasn't happy with her Kathy " you can pout all you want , your in my house now " and rule one no, talk back" Yube" No aka ohki (Hissss!) Ahhh! kathy sprays her again Kathy" anything else?" Yube" baba ki- Ahhh Nahhh Babkaka- Bahhh! eventually she spraying her until she gave up Yube" ..........T T" Kathy" no more back talk towards me or your mother?" Yube" ...ick." Kathy" good~^^ " suddenly as yube sat down the eye s quickly closed up adn vanished as the skin sealed itself as ruby started to wake up



Ruby" ahh...ahh DX " Rouge" my baby ;w; as rouge tried to go to her but kathy held her back what are you!?" Kathy" consider this your reward for learning to be more strict, until you can learn to tame her more wilder side, you can't hold her as kathy cradled ruby in her arms Rouge" buts shes my baby! " Kathy" that you nearly got killed, if you follow my lead you'll have her in time " Rouge" ...I can't believe this... " covering her eyes with her hands* Kathy" its all a learning process and maybe if your good, you'll have her back in your arms sooner then you know as she teleport them all away



Storm" well... that was something " Wave" if I ever talk about having kids slap me... " Storm" depending on who you have them with Jet" I think shadow was part alien wasn't he do it sort of make sense " Wave" still DX " Storm" but hey at least we got the treasure back" Jet" and not only that I think I unlocked the hawk eye's map coordinates " Storm" to what?" Jet" only the greatest discovery on the planet, the Twilight zone, home to many lost technology and knowledge before any of us even lived " Wave" but I thought the twilight zone was a banishment zone last I heard of it " Jets" thats only the outer surface level of it the map will take you on a route that leads deeper into a hidden world home to beings that honestly would make kathy's little magic tricks look like child's play " Storm" and we're gonna be the first to find it?! o o" Jet" exactly! " Storm" hell yeah! we're gonna be legends XD" Jet" and even for you wave you'll have the best tech in any realm from there machinery, there won't be anything that can out class you" Wave" heh I can hardly wait~ "



Jet" but in the mean time and you both clean this place up DX! "

to be con.

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 "
