The Demons Reunite
It had only been a week since the rag tag mission attempt to save Rage and Jac-Jac's brother. But now it was spring break and for two whole weeks the school had off to do whatever they may please. These two weeks for Rage, Jac-Jac, and the Sonic crew were going to be far from relaxing. Rage and Jac-Jac had come up with a master plan on how to break Inyu out of Eggman's base and only that. Yet they didn't have everything they needed for the mission they were still missing one very important bunny. They needed Kim back to complete the rescue plan, without her, it would be very difficult to near impossible to execute the mission.
That Friday afternoon Shadow sent a text around to everyone's phone saying to meet at his and Rage's house right after school. Be there as soon as possible and Tails needed to finish those inventions Rage asked for before dark. The message got out to everyone it needed too, Sonic, Amy, Jac-Jac, Rage, and Tails. When the final bell rang everyone within half an hour was at Rage's house except Tails. While they all sat around and waited, they started to talk as to why they were asked to come here.
Rage: All right, everyone I know you people would like to know why you are here. Well the answer is I need your help. This spring break is the only chance I have to save my brother before he is possibly killed, and from what Jac-Jac powers can tell from Eggman's future after school is out if we do not change then events that are to come he will die. I know this is something very big to ask of you, but please for me I need everyone's help to pull this off. If no one wants in please feel free to leave the house.
No one moved, not a blink, not even a breath was heard. At this Rage smiled and decided it was time to get down to business.
Rage: Great thank you all so much, this means the world to me. Now to let you in on what is happening, everyone knows we have two weeks off for our spring break. Well within these two weeks we have to mission to pull off. First, we need to get Kim the bunny back into the group. Next, we have out final mission, a rescue plan that will hopefully free my brother and Tails can create an antidote to cure him. Lastly, there is one thing that will try to stop us. His name is Kutan, now for those of you who do not know Kutan is a demon kind of like me except he is a full demon; therefore, he has much more power than you could believe. He is just as dangerous and Sonic or Shadow in the super forms.
Now onto Intel about your fist mission, Jac-Jac has kept in contact with Kim over the years. Her last know e-mail was about two weeks ago, and her parents are super rich and never pay attention to her really. However, if they notice that she is gone they will stop at nothing to find her. Therefore, I believe I have come up with an idea to keep them out of this. Her parents are two rich bunnies that met each other. The girl Mona is a high-class society woman who has no job. Her father is the founder, owner, and racer for Rex Raceway. There is what we are up against now family wise, but our journey to get there will not be easy.
Kutan saw Shadow, Jac-Jac, and I in the video cameras in Eggman's base. Jac-Jac and I have already decided who is to go on this part of the mission. Which is Sonic, Shadow and myself, Sonic and Shadow are the only ones that can get there and back in the time needed and I must go because of Japan itself and what is in it. Also something else Kutan has his demon followers all over the world waiting for us to come out so he can catch us. Well with us traveling at night, it will be much safer than if it were in the day. We have two stops before we cross the sea that we can cross during the day though. Then we move onto Japan find Kim and bring her back safely here.
I will explain further to you, Shadow and Sonic, where it is we are going to stop once we start. That's everything we have so far on our first mission and now that everyone is caught up we need to get ready we are leaving tonight and there are a few things that need to be taken care of before we go.
Shadow: Yes, we need to take care of some things before we leave. Like Sonic for example.
Sonic: What, what about me?
Shadow: Well Sonic since we are traveling at night and your fur is a bright blue your very easy to notice, so we need to fix that.
Sonic: What do you mean fix that, and Rage is just a light colored as I am.
Rage: Hello, yeah I'm like a ninja here I got my own methods of blending in with the dark, thank you very much.
Shadow: Yes so Sonic you have two choices and each one will take a few hours to do. We can either paint you fur black or we can dye your fur black your choice, but you only have a minute to decide.
Sonic: What is that's not unfair. Why dose Rage get a costume thing and I just can't get one.
Rage: Because these are one of a kind, I only have one, and they take a few weeks to get we don't have that kind of time.
Shadow: So choose faker, paint or dye better hurry. No resisting either, you run I will catch you. If you try to stall and not choose Jac-Jac will control your mind and we will decide and you could already think of my decision.
Shadow glared at Sonic with an evil smile placed on his face.
Sonic: Umm…
Shadow: Too much time, Jac-Jac.
Sonic: Hey whoa wait a minute; you didn't even give me five seconds.
Shadow: Each one you choose will take a while so Amy what do you think we should do.
As Shadow held Sonic down to keep him from running away, he watched Sonics face go up in horror as he asked that question. He even felt him gulp form fear of the answer.
Amy: Let's dye his fur.
Sonic: No, No, No!
Shadow: Too late now Faker, Jac-Jac if you please.
Jac-Jac nodded at the command and focused no one had seen her head up while she had done this before. When she started her eyes were trained on Sonic then Rage started walking in front of her. When Rage stopped Jac-Jac's eyes turned completely white, her iris and pupil were gone, and then she nodded her head at Rage to speak.
Rage: Sonic go to the bathroom and pick up the box of black dye, read the instructions on the box, then perform them correctly, and be ready to go in four hours.
Sonic robotically walked to the bathroom picked up the box and closed the door. Jac-Jac only waited a few more minutes until she heard the shower turn on. Then she let go of her control. She let go because if Rage had given the animal a task that would require more than a few minutes then Jac-Jac could let go and the animal would still finish out the task.
Rage: Now that he is taken care of we need to start getting everything ready dark is coming soon and we must leave tonight.
Shadow: Rage you talked about some inventions that you have asked Tails to make.
Rage: Oh right, I almost forgot about those. Umm… Amy I have a favor to ask of you.
Amy: Yeah Rage?
Rage: Could you run to Tails house by any chance and ask him to come over a bring those inventions I asked him if he could make.
Amy: Sure thing, give me half an hour and I will have him at your doorstep.
Rage: Thanks Amy, see you in a little bit.
Rage watched as Amy waved bye and headed out the front door to Tails house. She was looking out the window in a daze until she spoke out to her sister. Shadow felt some emotion boiling up inside Rage. He focused fiercely on Rage's emotion it was coming off stronger by the second.
Rage: Jac-Jac, I don't know if I can face it yet, it brings back those hurtful memoires and that horrid day just keeps playing in my head over and over. Jac-Jac I can't stop seeing that day please make it stop.
A few tears had escaped Rage's eyes; Shadow again was blown away by the emotion she felt towards these memoires and that awful day. Her feeling was loss of someone was intense; it almost made Shadow start to tear up. He felt the same way Rage did, whomever she had lost felt as if her heart had been ripped out of place and her soul had been swallowed completely by fear.
Jac-Jac: Rage may I see what you are seeing; I would like to see him again knowing who he is now.
Rage: Go ahead.
Jac-Jac touched her forehead to Rage's and placed one hand on her temple. They were only there for a few minutes until the broke apart.
Jac-Jac: Thank you Rage, I know it hurts so bad and I know no one could ever fully understand what you went thru not even Inyu. But Rage your loss is now my loss, we don't need any more of those. Right now the Sonic Team needs you to be here, I need you, Shadow needs you, Rage, Inyu needs you now more than ever before. If you focus on saving him it will help with the hurt a little bit no much but some.
Rage: Ok thank you Jac-Jac.
Rage gave her sister an embracing hug and then slowly climbed the stairs to her room searching for a golden bag. When she found she walked quickly into Shadow's room and closed the door. The two last hedgehogs sat there in silence Shadow staring at Jac-Jac.
Jac-Jac: You want to know what happened don't you.
Shadow: I thought you couldn't read people's minds.
Jac-Jac: I don't have to be, I just have to see their memoires and know their personalities, besides it basically written all over your face.
Shadow just glared at she started back not wanting to make him upset. He soon gave in and gave a sigh and put his head in his hands.
Shadow: I'm sorry for acting like this, but I do want to know what happened the loss she felt was almost unbearable. I don't see how she could hold all of that inside her.
Jac-Jac: Shadow I have seen your past and I must say it is very saddening and hurtful Rage felt the exact same way when she watched as her Father died right in front of her.
Shadow: What do you mean she never told me that?
Jac-Jac: It's too hard for her to explain… However, I may be able to show you, Rage and I have been on working on one of my powers that I don't use very often. It is showing one animal's memories to another. It is very hard but this memory is very clear I think I will be able to do it.
Shadow: I'm up for it, what do I do?
Jac-Jac: Just sit on the floor, close your eyes, relax, and concentrate on what I am trying to show you nothing else.
Shadow: All right lets go for it.
They both sat on the floor Shadow did as he was told and he was clam. He felt Jac-Jac's hands on his temples and he tensed up a little but soon let it go. He focused on the image that was coming into his head it was blurry at first, but then in a sudden gust it all became clear. It was as if he and Jac-Jac were ghost seeing into the past.
In this little world he saw Rage and Jac-Jac and what he thought was Kim the bunny. They were all in a little building and there was an older hedgehog there as well. He had on an odd outfit and a black belt. Shadow thought he must be the Sensei, he went to ask Jac-Jac but he couldn't speak.
Jac-Jac: Only I am permitted to talk in this world whoever comes with may not… and in this world I am able to read you mind so if you have a question just think it and I will answer.
Shadow only nodded and Jac-Jac smiled back at him and then she nudged her head over to the girls. They sat there and watched patiently. The three girls we receiving the same small outfit as the Sensei.
Jac-Jac: It's called a Gi and you get them on your second day of joining and to us this was very special. You know you're much more attentive than you let people believe.
Shadow just looked at Jac-Jac and gave her an honest smirk. Then he place his attention back on the girls. Class was over and a white and black familiar demon show up in a red top and odd looking black bottoms. Shadow gave no expression on his face but he did ask a question.
Jac-Jac: Yes, that is Inyu, he came to pick up Rage every day after class and say hi to us.
Shadow nodded and listened in on the conversation that Inyu and the girls were having.
Younger Rage: Inyu you're here!
Younger Inyu: Yes I am hey Half-pint, hey Hunter.
Younger Kim and Jac-Jac: Inyu!
Younger Inyu: Hi girls how was class for you today?
Younger Kim: I moved up a stance!
Younger Jac-Jac: So did !
Younger Rage: Me too Inyu!
Younger Inyu: That's great girls.
Inyu smiled and he had canine teeth just like he did but it did not seem to scare the girls.
Jac-Jac: Demons are common in Japan having fangs was a normal thing.
Shadow nodded his head still looking at the girls and Inyu.
Younger Inyu: Well good-bye girls Father wants Rage back as soon as possible
Younger Kim and Jac-Jac: Aww…
Younger Jac-Jac: Can't you stay longer Inyu?
Younger Inyu: Nope sorry girls we need to go bye.
Younger Jac-Jac: Bye.
Younger Kim: Bye.
Inyu picked up Rage and sat her on his back and she took a hold of his neck and smiled really big and you could see her canine teeth too. They walked out the door together and Inyu took one breath until he did the same jumping power Rage had. They soared thru the sky and landed and then they were up again.
Jac-Jac: Shadow take ahold of my hand we need to keep up with them.
Shadow obeyed took hold of Jac-Jac's hand and suddenly they were being lifted up into the air. Shadow only freaked out for a second and then was clam they were just flying thru the air that's all. Shadow looked at Jac-Jac curiously, she had a very stern face on, but in her eyes, and Shadow could tell that something was bothering her. He didn't have to be psychic or be able to read minds to tell something was wrong. He spoke one simple statement and her response was a tear and a look at the ground.
Jac-Jac: Everyday Shadow, I missed him every day, he was the only boy I ever trusted completely in my entire life. To have finally figured out that he is my brother, it is a happiness that brings back everything to me. Inyu was always there for me and took care of me like I really was his younger sister. He treated us all like that he was never mean to anyone and was always protective of us. I loved Inyu from the moment he gave me his nickname for me. That's why this mission is so important to me and Rage we need him back.
Shadow only nodded with somewhat of a reassuring smile, he didn't like smiling to anyone rather than Rage. Jac-Jac wiped the tear away, laughed a little, and smiled back. Then they both directed their attention back to the siblings. They were still jumping and Rage was laughing as if she was having the time of her life. Inyu jumped one last time until his face was full of surprise and shock and when he landed on the hill he didn't move again. He tried to speak but he was frozen, Rage nudged him and tugged on one of his quills to keep going. She finally slid off an was going to pull on his arm to see what was wrong until she saw what he was staring at.
Rage stood there bewildered as she watched as her Father battle in the fight of his life. Shadow was surprised he asked who the two fighters were.
Jac-Jac: The one with the white and black marbled looking for, that's our Father.
She gestured to herself, Inyu, and Rage down below us. Shadow nodded and then looked at their Father's opponent. He racked thru his memories and then remembered the name, and asked another question. Jac-Jac snarled before she answered the question.
Jac-Jac: That was the last member of the Kutan family or so we thought.
Shadow just blinked and looked upon the fight and was baffled by the skill each one carried. They were both martial artist, they fought with swords, and they had some of their own special powers with or without the swords. Both opponents were severely injured and were running low on energy. But at the last second when Rage's Father went to strike Kutan jumped up and struck him in the heart.
Rage let out a ear busting scream that made Shadow and Jac-Jac wince and cover their ears. It hurt Shadow so much to have to hear that from the girl he loved. He watched as Kutan looked at them drew his sword out of the dying body and started to run. The fire in Inyu's eyes compared to nothing but rage itself, Rage started to run down the hill to her dying Father. Inyu drew his sword and to Shadow surprise it looked like a piece of junk old sword that couldn't cut threw paper. Shadow raised his suspicion and looked at Jac-Jac.
Jac-Jac: Just watch its more than what you think.
The second after that Inyu sword transform, it was as tall as him and just as thick with not a scratch on it, and looked sharp enough to cut thru a hedgehog easily. At the base where he held the sword was white fur and a golden handle with blacked material wrapped around it. Shadow only thought one word; Wow.
Jac-Jac: Told you so.
Shadow just gave a glare and then watched as Inyu chased after him.
Jac-Jac: We need to go to Rage we cannot see what happens to Inyu and Kutan that is not in Rage's memory. Only this next part.
Shadow and Jac-Jac flew over to Rage and land a few yards away from her and her Father. He watched in agony remembering Maria and how her death was similar, when Rage reached her Father she fell to her knees sobbing and fear in her eyes. Shadow started to walk toward her when he couldn't take it any longer. Jac-Jac only put an arm in front of him to stop him. Shadow looked at her in protest and she only shook her head no.
Jac-Jac: Shadow the past cannot be changed this has already happened, you can't help her.
Shadow just nodded and stepped back and watched the memory play out before him.
Rage: Father, Father! Father please don't die, please I don't want you to leave me!
Father: Please child don't fret I am still here aren't I and I am also with you.
Rage: Yes Father you are right.
Rage's father was trying to calm her and give her his last few minutes of his life to be a father to her. Yet, through all of this he never cried he was clam and as peaceful with the earth as possible. Rage on the other hand was crying as if the world had ended and staining her new gi with the scent of salt watered tears.
Father: Now child I am going to ask you a few things and then i need you to make a promise, nod if you understand.
Rage nodded and tried to slow her tears in a feeble attempt.
Father: Alas child I understand you received you gis today.
Rage: Yes Father, it fits quite well and I have mine on.
Father: Well child stand up and let me look upon you.
Rage stood and dripped a few more tears down and turned around slowly for him to see.
Father: Very well child it suits you well in the way of the warrior and it shows that you have the fear of a true demon.
Shadow looked at Jac-Jac with no expression on his face but with as much confusion in his mind as Rage did.
Jac-Jac: Just listen any question you may have will probably be answered.
Shadow nodded and turned back towards Rage and her Father.
Rage: Father I do not understand, I thought demons were supposed to be fearless.
Father: Child alas everyone has fears, may it me mental or just a fear or something such as the dark. Just as Inyu fears many things too.
Rage: Inyu has fears!
Father: But of course child, he will be very fearful of what he will see when he returns. I need you to be strong for him. Yes, as my fear dawns upon me i will be very fearful.
Rage: Your fear is dying Father?
Father: No, no child my fear is not to die, but to die before I see you grow up nor your brother, not to be able to give you guidance. To help you when you need a father's love. I know you think Inyu could never replace me, but he is stronger than you think child you must trust him with all your heart a soul, protect him when he needs it save him when he is drowning do you understand child?
Rage: Yes, but father I am only a child, I will never save Inyu he will be the one to save me.
Father: Ah yes, but there will come a day when he needs you I promise, and a dog demon never breaks a promise. Now how was your second day at karate?
Rage: Well we learned many new stances and the basics of the karate foundation. Oh and I talked to my friends again today Kim and Jac-Jac.
Rage's father's eyes lit up as soon as he said those names.
Father: Rage this is the promise I was speaking of earlier, with so little time left, I need you to listen very carefully Rage.
Jac-Jac: Rage had told me that rarely did our father ever call her by her first name only on special occasions.
Shadow just kept staring but he did let her know that he heard her by thinking "ok" in his mind. Rage began to tear up again and she bent down to her knees and hugged her father
Rage: Anything Father anything at all.
Father: Very well Rage I promise to you that Inyu will turn you into a half-demon as you were meant to be but earlier than what was planned. Now it will be the age of 12. Next, keep your brother, Kim, and Jac-Jac as close to you as possible, they will be the ones to guide you in life and help you find your destiny. Protect them with all your heart and soul. Lastly, you will inherit you mother's bladed fans and her blue fire rat kimono and black hakama when you are a half demon and you will be a very special half demon indeed.
When you are transformed, you must find your Yang he is the key to your destiny.
Remember child that a dog demon never breaks a promise at all costs.
Rage: I promise Farther, I will tell him everything and I wish you much happiness in the other world. May you find peace with mother. I love you father don't ever forget Inyu or me please.
Father: Child, I will never forget about you or Inyu, just promise me you will share my last heartbeat with me. Ah!
Rage: Father! Please I love you.
Rage grabbed her father tightly and he using what little spirit he had left wrapped his arm around her and cuddled her lovingly and joined their heartbeats. As he beat slowed, he drew her closer and her eyes were shot with pain and tears the loss of her only real love for the world was slipping away from her grasp.
Father: As…I...l...love you...to...Rage my…little Yin...Uh.
Rage: Father! FATHER! No, No no this can't happen. INYU!
*To hear Rage scream out of pain and seeing what had just happened tore him up so bad. He could no longer look at her he had to turn or her would begin to cry. To see that something this horrible had happened to the one girl he cared for, he understood everything now. Why her brother was so important to her, he was all she had left after he died. Why she despised the Kutan clan so much was because she witnessed her own Father being murdered by him. He could also see why her Father meant so much to her. Just in the few minutes Shadow had seen Rage with her Father, he knew that it was someone Rage loved more than anyone she looked up to him and he was everything and child could want their Father to be like. She had it and then she watched as it was taken away from her. Shadow thought about all these things as he tried to keep himself from crying. Then he heard a voice.
Jac-Jac: Shadow now you understand, but the memory is not yet finished, you need to see the final moments as well.
Shadow turned back around and nodded. He directed his attention to the woods were Inyu was running quicker than Shadow had expected. Rage was running back up the hill crying the whole time. Shadow and Jac-Jac followed them back up to the hill.
Inyu's ears flatten hearing the cries of her sister, it was the most horrific thing he had and will have ever heard and see. He ran as fast as her could to his sister struggling to up the hill. When he reached the hill Rage latched onto him and he looked below, shock spread across his face.
Inyu: Rage is he…
She cried and cried till Inyu could no longer listen to it, he could never understand what she had just went through, and she was in his arms looking for comfort which he could never give her as their Father did. When she finally stopped a little and the crying had settled into whimpers she began to speak.
Rage: Yes, Inyu he is dead, he is gone he was so kind he used his last minutes to be a Father. It was a noble thing he said he wasn't afraid of dying, he was scared of dying without seeing us grow up with no guidance from him as a father. He…he wanted me to keep him a promise and tell you some things.
First, he wanted me to tell you that he loved us and that we needed to keep Kim Jac-Jac and their families to us as close as possible. That they will be the ones who will help guide us in life. Next, he said that you must change me into a half demon by the age of 12 now...
(Inyu's thoughts: So he did know about the newest member of the kutan family)
Instead of what was planned. Lastly, was that I was to inherit Mother's blue fire rat kimono and her black hakama, and father said that I was to be a very special half demon indeed. He asked us to promise that Inyu and… and a dog demon never breaks a promise no matter what.
Inyu seeing his sister cry new why this meant so much to her, as he wrapped his arms around her and he lowered his head to try to hold back his tears. a single tear ran down his muzzle and landed on Rage.
Inyu: Rage I know how much this hurts you for me to say this, but I need you to promise me something. I need you to keep your promise and follow through with it no matter what the cost of what is to come...
(Inyu thoughts: She is too little to understand the way she now must take to become a half demon. Out father would never be wrong but he may have doubts on how strong she is to take this road.)
And I promise Father that the Kutan family will no longer harm our family and any ones else. This I swear to the day I die Rage, I will end the Kutan family, I promise Father no one else will suffer the pain that he has caused Rage; never again will she feel this. I promise Father a dog demon never breaks his promise.
Inyu looked into the sky and smiled the sun now shining on him and Rage. It felt so warm so gentle. As if the farther was now all around them, a wind blew against them fast, leaves rustled, the sun even warmer and a small smile reached each of the siblings faces. A bright green dust from around their Father, dissolved him, and formed his spirit. He looked upon his children smiled nodded his head and disappeared along with the wind, as the wind soared past them in each of their minds their Father spoke their last found memory of him.
Father's Spirit: I am always with you.
As the wind passed if felt as if it was doing more than just passing by. It was like it was hugging them and with that Rage's last tear fell as the last jester of her Father passed she and her brother in both of their minds spoke
Both: We promise.
Rage looked down right at Shadow and thinking it was real Shadow smiled back and she returned the smile and looked up at Inyu wanting a hug for comfort. Shadow looked at Jac-Jac then and she nodded her head. Shadow closed his eyes and then Jac-Jac put her hands to his temples and they came back to reality.
I hoped you all enjoyed this first chapter of TDR! I can honestly say I cried while I was writing the part about Rage and her Father, but it had to happen.
