"Hello, Felicia, Do you mind if I ask you some questions about your boyfriend?" The giant panther suddenly spoke, surprising her.
"Ur, sure, fire away." Felicia said to the giant panther in front of her, still a little shocked at what was happening and it clearly showed in her voice.
"Thank you. I wanted to ask just what exactly he is? When I was on his person, oh sorry, if you haven't realised already, I'm the entity residing in the panther amulet you recently put on." The panther explained, her voice that of a mature older woman, smooth and silky.
"You can call me Bast." Bast said to Felicia, the edges of her lips raising up into a somewhat feral smile, what with her huge white fangs showing.
"As I was saying, when I was on his person, spiritual entity's, just like me, drew me into his mental space where they lived, just like how I drew you into my mental space." She explained, looking around herself.
Felicia nodded her head to show she understood, "I've never seen Nick with any amulets though, so how could they be beings inside his mental space?" Felicia asked her.
"That's what confused me as well until they explained some of it to me, let me tell you what happened exactly..."
...
"The Kit made another one Huh?" Kurama said from where he was laying, "It's not a tailed beast so it must be one of your types." He said to Phoenix behind him, before he closed his eyes to sleep again once he lost interest.
"This little kitten is not a cosmic entity like me you orange rabbit, I thought that would have been easy to tell from how strong she is or are you going blind now? Hahahaha!" Phoenix taunted Kurama, laughing to himself afterwards.
Kurama just huffed grumpily, not bothering to argue back at the red chicken that had recently been trying to get a reaction out of him.
Bast sat there in front of them, stunned by the two beasts size and power that they seemed to naturally emit.
"Don't worry about them little sister, they are always like that." Came a voice from behind her, with a hint of excitement in it.
Bast turned and came face to face with what she could only describe as a tanuki made of sand, just as big as the other two beasts but it's only tail was just as big as it's body, "Little sister?" She questioned Shukaku, a bit calmer now but still shaken by the recent events.
"Hmm? Did Father not make you? I thought for sure he did, well regardless father seems to like adding spirit beasts to his collection so that must be why your here. Welcome to the family!" Shukaku smiled down at her.
Bast sat there confused as she looked up at Shukaku, "Wait you're saying your father made all you powerful beings?! How could one individual do that?!" Bast shouted at Shukaku, frustrated and angry.
"Father's just that great, hahaha!" Shukaku laughed.
Bast could only stand there stunned with her mouth hanging open.
"She's here because we wanted to give her as a gift to Felicia." Venom spat at them after he formed up from a black puddle in the middle of the creator.
"I told you to stop refering to you and father as we! You are not on his level!" Shukaku shouted at Venom.
"We are one and the same now, there is no separating us, so, yes it is we." Venom grinned widely before he splashed back down into the the black puddle and then growled away.
Shukaku was left there growling at Venoms retreating formless body, that was until Bast asked him, "What was that thing and why did he say your father was giving me as a gift?!" She was especially angry about the last bit.
"From Venoms words I would have to assume father intends to give you to his first wife as a power up, so to speak, I don't know why really because he could easily make a spirit beast at your level with the natural energy he constantly absorbs in just a day... maybe father thought you would be a good fit with Felicia, she is known as Black Cat after all." Shukaku smiled at the last bit.
Bast was left to take it all in.
...
"Were those other spirit beasts really that strong?" Felicia asked.
"Yes, just the nine tailed fox alone has enough power to easily destroy this world and if you add the others and Nick ... I don't even want to think about the destruction he could cause... you are very lucky to be such a powerful beings mate." Bast told Felicia straightforwardly.
"We ... we might not even be together anymore... " Felicia said quietly as she looked down at the ground.
"Well why not?" Bast asked curiously.
"He fell in love with another woman... and she's literally Death! The powerful being that governs the afterlife! ... How could I compete with that... especially if Nick I truly as strong as you say he is ... they were practically made for each other... " Felicia started shouting but her energy quickly wore down until she was actually crying on her knees, curled up into herself.
Bast watch Felicia break down until she was on her knees and crying, when Felicia grew quite she let out a loud sigh and leaned down to her and put her forehead against Felicia's body to give her some comfort, "Well why don't you fight to prove that you deserve to stand by your mate... I can give you more power just like he wanted but the rest would have to be left up to you to fight for... so what do you say? Will you fight for the man you love?" Bast asked Felicia, they were now looking into each others eyes.
"Why would you help me? I don't see what you would gain." Felicia asked her tears temporarily forgotten.
"I've taken a liking to you and it will be fun to see where this goes." Bast smiled.
Felicia thought to herself silently before she looked back up at Bast with renewed determination, "Deal."
...
"I'm so glad, I thought you wouldn't like the idea and say no." Death said as she hugged Nick, resting her head on his chest as they laid back on her giant sized bed. Literally, it was as big as five Hulk's.
"Of course I want you to have my child, even if we haven't known each other for very long, I knew straight away that I wanted to always be with you." Nick almost whispered to her before he turned her head towards him and started to kiss her passionately.
Trailing kisses down her neck as he striped her clothes off her slowly, it was almost painfully slow for her, "Nick~ Don't torture me." She moaned as she squirmed under his touch, he was using all his hands to their full extent.
"Haha fine, you asked for it." Nick grinned.
...
"This is amazing! I feel like I can do anything!" Felicia cheered as she felt the new power residing in her body, totally consuming her.
"Mom?! Is that you?!" A deep gravely voice called from just outside the room, making her confused, 'Mom? Is Nick back? Doesn't sound like him.' She only became even more confused when she saw what had to bend down to get though the door and into the room.
"Ghost?! Is that you?! What happened? You're so human-like now." Felicia shouted once she saw Ghost enter the room.
"I got bitten by a werewolf from another universe but it seems that I have full control of the transformation unlike the werewolves there." Ghost told her like it was the most natural thing in the world, "So what have you been up to Mom?" Ghost asked.
"Mom?!" Felicia screamed surprised.
...
"I hate to ruin this blissful moment but I didn't just come to see you to get started on the family." Nick started talking to Death who was resting weakly on his chest, his arms holding her, she was exhausted from Nicks boundless stamina it didn't even matter that she was a cosmic entity.
"I came to ask you how to become a ghost rider, my new suit is a living being as you have surely noticed and one of its only weaknesses are fire, so I thought If I became a rider then that weakness would be sorted since the suits completely bonded to my DNA." Nick explained while he rubbed one of his hands along Death's pale back.
"You have to be filled with spirits of the damned and keep your sanity or make a deal with a demon strong enough to make riders them self but then you get bound by a contract and possessed so I wouldn't recommend it, even if I hold the contract, if someone gets ahold of it then they could possibly control you." Death advised him.
"We go with the hard way then, but first, round twenty one." Nick grinned as he started kissing Death again.
Even though she was exhausted Death couldn't help but giggle at Nick antic's.
...
"Woe! Sounds like we both had a big day." Felicia smiled as Ghost finished telling her of his adventure.
"What do you mean mom?" Ghost asked.
"Nick gave me this panther amulet that contains the black panther god Bast, she said that she could help me get stronger." Felicia said while she looked down at the amulet around her neck, the panthers eyes flashing purple for a second.
"Oh dad got me something like that as well." Ghost said as he pointed to the jade tiger amulet on his collar, "It's what gave me the power to make portals to other universe's and I can also do this!" Ghost exclaimed before he hopped up from where he was sitting on the floor in front of his mother. He then summoned the jade armour, making him glow a jade green briefly before the light settled down and showed his armour, but it looked a bit different then before now, instead of just a jade tiger covering him it was now a traditional samurai warriors suit with armour plating. It included a helmet, sleeve shields, lower armour and a fierce tiger mask that covered Ghosts face, all but his eyes that shined a bright neon green.
On his hip, he now had two katana's, like the ancient samurai warriors following the concept of daisho, literally meaning big and small, it was more practical to have a short katana alongside a normal sized katana.
"Well this is new." Ghost said as he drew the katana from its scabbard, it looked to be completely made out of jade, but with a razor sharp edge, "It must be because of my recent transformation, the jade armour changed along with me to fit my needs." Ghost reasoned aloud so Felicia could understand his thinking and his new armour upgrade.
"What do you mean? Was it not like this before?" Felicia asked as she looked closer at her adopted sons jade plated armour.
"Yes, before it was like a second skin, exactly the same up green instead of white and black stripes." Ghost smiled as he released the jade armour making it disappear.
"The swords are especially new and I get the feeling that they can cut more then just my enemies, I think they might me an extension of my dimension traveling abilities, I should be careful with them in the future I don't want to suddenly send an enemy to another dimension where they can get stronger and come back and harm me... but that does give me an idea, if I could send them to a dimension that's completely covered in lava or to a space where they could be contained... I should tell dad about my idea when he gets back, I'm sure he has more ideas about this since he can teleport." Ghost thought aloud.
"Yes, and about Nick... what do you think about our current relationship?" She asked cautiously, afraid of when her new found son would think of her.
"I don't actually see why it's a problem that dad has more mate's, I know that he loves you and that's something that would never change so why should it matter if someone else also received that same love, seems pretty greedy to if you wanted it all to yourself." Ghost spoke calmly.
"Is it really greedy for me to want Nick all to myself thou?" Felicia asked quietly.
"No, but you are forgetting just who my dad is, he's not your everyday guy that you would see walking down the street, he is more then capable of shaping this world the way he wants it, that includes people and what he they think, I might have mentioned to you that he can read minds?" Ghost asked Felicia for confirmation.
"He did... " She responded not sure where Ghost was talking this.
"Well it's not limited to just mind reading, he could easily manipulate memory's and even make up entire new memories to suit his needs but he does, and it's the simple reason that he doesn't want to mess with a persons free will because without that then they aren't the same person anymore, and its the same with you and him, he hopes that you will choose to stay with him regardless of his other partner and he leaves all this up to fate because he loves and trusts you just as much as he does Mistress Death." Ghost tried to explain.
"... You've given me a lot to think about, thanks Ghost... " She thanked him quitely.
'Ive done all I can dad, now it's all up to her and you.' Ghost thought to himself as he left his mother to think things over and just what her next step should be.
...
"Alright are you ready? Then I'll begin." Death stated before she let the spirits that she had gathered together out on to Nick who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, ready to receive the spirits.
Once the ghostly figures of the spirits started getting closer to Nick the Eternal Flame resting on top of his seemed to react to their presence, the flames rising up out in front of Nick, catching all the spirits together and consuming them without wasting a single spirit.
Death looked on confused as she saw the flame eat up all the spirits that she had sent Nick's way, Nick was still clueless to what was happening and just thought that Death was still getting ready.
Not one to turn down a challenge she summon all spirits in the area and sent them straight at the Eternal Flame, forgetting about Nick.
But even when the flame had been fed a small country's worth of spirits it still didn't seem to be full and seemed to be actually excited when Death sent even more spirits its way.
The spirit count had now past the millions and the flame actually started to change and so Death stopped and dispersed the spirits that she had just gathered, watching to see what changes would come of the flame.
