*Scars, Ezekiel, Sapphire, Raurua, Fafnir and Cleo are sitting together around a table.
Ezekiel and Fafnir squabbling and butting heads with each other as usually.
Cleo trying her best to rein in Fafnir while enjoying her Cold Frappuccino while Sapphire tells them story's of him and Raurua.
Scars holds on to each word, each action, each smile that his friends share. He has to hold on to beautiful moment's like these where he can just be a kid.*
*Where he can be in the light with his friends and not suffocate in the darkness that is his prison as chains warp around both Scars and Ezekiels arms and legs. They were then slowly dragged from the light, from the friends. They both try digging their hands in the ground, try to crawl their back to them! But no matter how much they tried the chain always pull them back in the dark.*
Black knights, you know what to do. Maintain our balance. Spare no one.
*Suddenly Solomon steps out of the shadows behind the two with a smile.*
Oh, hush now shade of the past. Time to get up, My Lord.
*He snaps his fingers and Scarlet wakes up in a nervous sweat. It took him a minute of wiping his tears and sweat on his forehead away to notice Solomon sitting besides him with his legs crossed. Scarlet grits his teeth as he remembered all to well what he did to them, he sees his weapons, rolls out the bed to grab them and hold them close to Solomons throat.*
You killed me!!!
Just As planned! Congratulations, the three of you are now free as I promised. Do take a look of your lower body, My lord.
*He looked down to see that he's standing on his bare feet. No cybernetics or anything, they're his real legs!*
The FUCK is going on!?
I did blow your legs off but after the battle I did a little tweaking with the laws of time to give them back to you. Although Ezekiel took quite a bit more work. That Mythos of his seems to defy the laws of time and space but I managed to put him in a new and far far superior mechanical body. Ezekiel?
*Ezekiel barges in the room punches Solomon so hard that he crashed out the ship! He lets out a chuckle as he cracks his knuckles. Scars look up at him in amazement. Solomon was kidding, the body he's in now makes his old one look like and old rusted toaster. Hell his eyes now blink and make expressions just like real eyes. Ezekiel surprises him by then bringing him in for a big bear hug!*
God you have no idea how glad I am to see your awake bud! Kivaara, get the fuck over here sis!
*Kivaara runs in to join in and the bear hug making Scarlet smile in relief.*
I heard what happened we should get out of here, now!
Lady Kivaara, I keep telling you, The three of you are much better off here. *Solomon as he standing inside the room with them, the several dozen holes his body made through out the ship repaired like nothing happened.*
Well, you're all welcome to leave at your own leisure at any time. I won't stop you but this ship is your new home.
You killed us.
Yes, my Lord and no amount of apologies we'll give me absolution to make amends. What I did, was horrific I understand.
What the fuck can you understand what it's like to get hurt much less die, Fucker!? *Ezekiel snarls at him.*
All to well, oh all to well. I understand what it's like to be betrayed by those close you. To be used for there ends and nothing else. I even perished by there hands eons ago but thanks to my immortality my essence was restored.
*Suddenly Solomon collapses on his knees and vomited out green blood from his mouth. He lets out chuckle wipes the blood from his lips*
Ah, outstanding! Rhongomyiad, still lives up to its reputation amount god killer weapons! Well done my Friend… *He spook those last words in his own.*
Even if it were one my avatars that died at my place there it was more then enough to reduce me to such a state. I won't be back to full in a year.
You hear that!? We can finish him, Scars! *Ezekiel stated as moves Kivaara to get behind them and he revs up his weapon.*
Hehe, Indeed you can! If wasn't for the fact that I'm still immortal. Those two and there god killers can kill me, Raven boy. But please your more then welcomed to savage me. I deserve it after all.
*Scarlet looked down at Solomon with eyes of pity and… Exhaustion. A part of him believes that Solomons show of remorse is just another trick. The other part feels sorry for the old man. Another feels tired, absolutely exhausted from all the blood and death. So he moves in front Ezekiel and gestures to stand down.*
Aren't you as tired as me, man? Form fighting? Form killing?
*It took a second but those resonated with Ezekiel's heart that you can hear very faint sobbing. Even in this suit, even if he doesn't have a body he feels, so tired. Still angry, but tired nonetheless.*
Fuck yeah I am. Sorry, I'm gonna take a nap.
*Ezekiel walks out of the room leaving the two with Solomon. The children look down at him.*
Your gonna be ok, Old Man?
*Scarlet asked taking Solomon by surprise but he smiled at the boy.*
Yes, Thank you, My Lord. You two go on now, rest your weary souls.
*As he said the two left him in the room. Solomon leans on a wall as he sits on the floor he looks up.*
My King, your youngest son inherited your better traits. Unlike, Lord… Alaric. I must hide them from him, no matter what it cost me…
*Present day.*
We gotta head back to the ship. Quickly! Come on! *Scarlet ordered as he pulls Kivaara with him much to her dismay.*
It's just one fucked up thing after another! Fuck! *Ezekiel curses out as he followed.*
*Sapphire, couldn't but feel that someone was staring at him from afar. As he looked to who there was nothing but an empty ally.*
Sapphire? Something amiss?
Couldn't help but feel someone was staring at me. Probably just my head playing tricks with me, I really am rusty.
Your being far to hard on yourself, Darling.
But it's true I gotta get back to training after this.
Hey, Pal! Can you get this to clinic 45? New patients just came in.
*A Military medic asked*
No problem! Come on, Raurua.
*Meanwhile in clinic 45 one of the patients happened to be that Blonde bounty Hunter from the stadium. She's got black, serval dozen scratches, a twisted leg now and 5 or so still bleeding slash marks form the Zodiacs. She would have been dead if it weren't for her last Bounty, Yin. She was absolutely dumbstruck of how he came to her rescue. Also she's kinda of scared him not gonna lie.*
Don't get me wrong I appreciate the help, Doc but much will cost me again?
*She asked as the Chief Medical doctor and her team performed on her.*
Nothing at all, during disastrous like this all Medical services are free of charge for all citizens. Just relax, Mrs?
Thats freaking awesome, Oh and Names, Yo. Thanks a bunch!
Your welcome, Mrs Yo, just relax, grab some shut eye and you we'll be back on your feet in no time.
Huh, what do you know? Hey, uh, Yin!!! Over here! Ow, fuck my arm!
*Yo, saw Yin walk over to the clinic as he chaperones his little brother and Raurua along with her father. Yin, walked over to her. Mildly curious of her*
You might not remember but you saved my life back there. Thank you.
I did? Sorry, I was just so focused on killing every single one of them I didn't notice. You're welcome, uh?
Names, Yo. Hey, Blue you good? Like I know I'm kinda hard to look at now but you shouldn't stare at a girl like that. You'll make 'em nervous.
S-Sorry you kinda reminded of a good friend of mine.
O-Oh, in that case water under the bridge! Is she alright?
Yeah she is. Lives real far away from here actually. Oh, almost forgot here's your supplies, Officer.
Thanks a million, kids.
How far away exactly? Like in another planet?
Ha, you can say that. *As Sapphire unpacks the supplies he reaches to Yin telepathically.*
(Yin, she doesn't look exactly like her her Exousia completely identical!)
(Really? You sure?)
(Absolutely positive! The hue even the wave length is exactly identical!)
(Maybe she's some sort of shapeshifter? No, she's not. The exact same Exousia… That shouldn't even be virtually possible. Huh, Neat.)
That's everything, get well soon, Yo!
Thanks, Blue. Hey I didn't get your name.
It's Sapphire. Sapphire Selestine.
Sapphire. Nice ring to it, see yeah around!
*Sapphire waves good bye to her with a smile as he, Ruarua and her father walk back to Medical command.*
Make sure to stay close ok, Lil Bro!?
Lil Bro? That your brother?
Yeah, bless his heart, kid could never stand seeing people in pain. I worry for him.
I can relate got a little sister of my own. Always puts her study's first before herself.
Like math and stuff?
Nah, magic! She's real prodigy too, not even 14 years old and she's already schooling her teachers!
My bros the same. He is a genius in a fight but he's gotten rusty.
Why's that, Yin?
There was a huge accident. His best friend got real hurt in it and he's never forgiven himself since.
Man, I'm sorry to hear that. This friend of his wasn't my doppelgänger right?
Nah, but her little sister.
Man that's even more fucked up! How bad was it?
Bad enough that he locked himself away for a month.
Fucking hell… Is she ok?
I have no idea to be honest, what's worst is that he can't even see her anymore. Or can't bring himself to.
I don't what else to say… I heard some fucked up story's but this takes the cake.
Ok, Mrs Yo, you're all healed up. How do you feel.
Good but… Hey you don't mind if I come with you guys, Yin? To help you keep an eye your bro?
*Yin eyes open wide in shock.*
Your sure? What about your sister?
Shes back home over seas, besides she's a Zodiac, sure those zealots are crazy crazy but they would never harm on of their own.
Zodiac? You're definitely not one yourself. Is she like your adopted family?
Yeah, but I still love her and she loves me. Same?
Oh absolutely, Yo. We're gonna get along just fine!
*High up in the skies Ina is laying on cloud, her chest pressing down on it and her legs dangling back and forth as she watches them. She's disgusted of the sight of the mortal mingling with Yin.*
Mortal humans mingling with the affairs of the divine never cease to piss me the hell off! Calm yourself, Inanna. Or Mistress Scathach will spot you! Now who's this red one with my Lover? Shes divine definitely, but absolutely not up to a divinity superior vintage divinity like myself. Inferior competition it seems. Yes, I will allow it! Now when shall I make my next move?
Ah, yes I must ask permission first. But only when they move on to some where more fitting for us divine. I fear I might add to the kill count of my faithful if I had to reduce my self to these "humans" level. That would not be ideal for fathers or my own image. Until then, I will look foreword to our Union, Lover.
*In a realm above creation, where the endless Void is the landscape and light shines beyond the the horizon. Nero, manifest, his footsteps causing water like ripples in the void. Scathach, manifest after followed to other Heirs. The Heir of Time and The Hier of Mind.*
*The Heir of Time, Christiaan, his figure pulses and flows like the stream of time. Uncertained and forever changing. The Hier of The Mind, Psia, her body slimmer than the rest yet her eyes and the gem on her forehead flow with unimaginable Psionic power. They all gather until they all stand above Fable.*
Brother, Sisters, the time is come.
Nero, are we certain that this is our only course of action?
Christiaan, ye who is a singularity of all timelines, thou knows that there is no other way. Civilization on the other side of the Source Barrier must start anew. Memories of the Shooting Star of Hope, valiant battle against HIS madness and our presence must be undone and sealed. For if they keep us close to there hearts, he shall use that irreplaceable bond to take them.
*They looked to the east to see a foreboding orb of Purple and gold, pulsing like a heart, oozing with blood and shifting with the figures of same horrid creatures that Micheal excised.*
Assimilated. Lost to us, for all his Eternal Life.
*Meanwhile back at the doors of Nero's realm, of the inside of his castle, 5 alien warrior's, Ditee Gears, a powerful race of robotic humanoid life forms power by the emotion of Love a wait his summons.*
Lord Nero, shall speak to you all soon. We apologize for the inconvenience.
*The Sera Clad knight apologized. One of of Ditee Gears walks back and forth impatiently, she's is no more then 15 years old recruit unlike her early 30's senior warriors, her hair styled with four pig tails, white and blue and soft as silk.*
Savant Valiant, whats taking so long? I'm dying to get on this mission.
Savant, the ships here for her.
Perfect timing, sorry, Initiate Aria. But you're being sent home.
What!? Why!?
Initiate, this mission is dangerous, extremely so. We aren't here to punish some measly villains. The threat we have uncovered is ancient, almost as ancient as the Hier's themselves.
*A figure walks through a dimly lit hallway looking at a tablet in his hands. All around him are the sounds of painful moans yet he doesn't bat an eye to them. The shape is similar to Solomon except he is color white, black and purple.*
Subject 540, failure in delivery, deceased. Subject 541, failure in delivery, deceased. Subject 542, bludgeoned herself to death mid delivery, deceased. Note to self, remember to restrain subjects.
*His voice voice cold and uncaring, he stops at a door guarded by soldiers wearing bio organic armor salute to him. They step aside as the door opens for him, he begins to chuckle to himself before the sight in front. A man who seconds earlier was cover in horrid growths all over his body, he begins to convulse as those same growth merge as one!*
Yes!!! Finally another success after the last 20! Bare the pain my kindred! Discard that worthless stifling flesh that was ounce your previous life and be reborn!
*The growth began to grow 6 ft tall until he sees hands trying break to break free from it! Those same hands break through and rip themselves out selves free! What emerged from it wasn't human in slightest, but a reborn entity!*
Happy Re-Birthday, my Soldier. This settles it this planet is rich with my peoples Essence. Or what's left of it. How ironic, to think that the prize Jewel of those treacherous Heirs would be my peoples salvation. Poetically so.
My, Lord Alaric, we have a slight inconvenience. Word has gotten out of our station.
Not ideal, began evacuation to base gamma 601 in the Thalion nebula.
At ounce, Sir. Will you be joining us?
After I greeted what ever guess that will arrive. To there deaths that is.
