Chapter 1: From skin to scales,fur and feathers...Where the Fuck are We!

Disclaimer: don't own anything but the ocs

Extra: hey FellowZombie here to tell you before I start that from now on i'll be doing the dialogue differently.

The story begins with a room surrounded by blue flames, in the center of the room is a boy kneeling in a pool of blood between two bodies as a third figure is standing in front of him pointing a gun at the boy.

Man: "this isn't what I wanted-but nothing must stand in my way."

The boy stares back at the man with an expression of fear and shock unable to move from that spot.

Man: "I can't allow you to live either, none of you can live...i'm sorry" the man pulls the trigger and everything goes black as the boys screams of pain is heard. The scene changes to a boy looking to be about sixteen years old waking up in a cold sweat in a large room, while the boy sits on his bed he tries to go over what happend in his dream. Suddenly a womens voice is heard in the room alerting the boy and bringing him out of his deep thought.

Women: "sir are you alright?"

boy: "yes friday i'm fine"

friday: "forgive me adrian but while I was doing my usual observation of all family members to check for any anomalies I notice that both you brain waves and heart rate were increasing rapidly, this tells me that you were having one of your stress dreams again."

adrian: "well i'm fine, there was no problem this time"

friday: "sir I would like to point out your arm" hearing this adrian look over to find his right arm has turned into a giant blade. As he changes it back to normal friday goes on with the conversation "I would also like to point out that it has cost you yet another nightstand" looking over to the side he finds the nightstand sliced in half.

adrian:(groans) "how many does that make this month?"

friday: "I believe that makes eight sir, this has been more frequently then usual. Do you not think we should see some help for this? perhaps blink could be of assistance?"

adrian: "no way last time I did that she just used it as an excuse to try and find access to my vault. Besides once you let a telepath into your mind its almost impossible to get them out, anyway is there anything going on with the others?" getting out of bed he looks out the window to see its still dark. A screen appears out of nowhere showing the vitals of the family.

friday: "according to my readings there is no change to the families conditions, except that both inferno and hydro have wet their beds again also breeze appears to be causing small gust of wind as well as wet her bed."

adrian: (chuckle) "after they awaken have their sheets sent to the laundry room i'll wash them later, anything else for today?"

friday: "yes your grandfather will be visiting later today, somewhere around breakfast"

adrian: "right why was that again?"

friday: "I believe it was to discuss business with you before he must depart to inspect how the other families are doing"

adrian: "right thats what he says anyway but if you read between the lines he just wants to see his grandkids one last time before he has to go on this trip"

Heading over to a door he opens it revealing a large walk-in closet, in there he takes out a nightstand placing it where the broken one was then throws the other out a window. Walking out the window into the balcony looking out into the dark forest, he is suddenly brought out of it by a whisper.

unknown: (whispers)

adrian: "I know tox but we'll deal with it later, for now I feel like getting a little training in before I have to get breakfast ready what do you say?"

tox:(whispers)

adrian: "I knew you say that lets get started then"

friday: "sir it would seem that tox also agrees with me about your condition"

adrian: "its kinda hard to keep anything a secret from someone who lives in my head, now if theres nothing else i'm off" with that adrian jumps off the balcony landing on the ground then makes a dash for the forest disappearing in the darkness. Rushing through the forest he leaps onto the base of a tree, planting both feet on the surface sticks to it then runs up the tree before back flipping off. While in midair he extends his arm shooting out a web like subtance from it onto a branch then swings through the air "being able to shoot webbing from my body and using it like a rope kickass"

tox:(whispers)

adrian: "I suppose your right, we have been out long enough so now lets head back and get ready for the others" letting go of the web he changes his hand into a hook then stretches his arm like a rope clinging to another tree using it to turn around and slingshot back to the house "also having the ability to change my body into weapons and stretching any part long distances really comes in handy, in more ways then one"

tox:(whispers)

adrian: "its not perverted thats like most guy thoughts so don't judge" landing back on the balcony he enters the room "well first thing first we'll take a shower then get breakfast started" saying that he begins to remove his clothes showing off his well toned body also showing off the strange tribal markings in the form of a ferocious creature's head covering his shoulder. Shaking his spikey black hair with red highlights looking like fire as he enters his private bathroom. Finishing his shower he goes over to the mirror to check his eyes that consist of the right one having a red pupil, but his left eye was black as night with a red pupil making it look very frightning. Walking out of the bathroom he goes over to the dresser and grabs a black bandana with a large red skull and cross bone design and ties it over his left eye, he then puts on his clothes which consist of a large pair of black cargo pants and a red shirt with a black tribal skull. Once the shirt was on he grabs a black jacket wearing it over the shirt then heads out the room upon doing so friday begins talking with him.

friday: "sir how was your training?"

adrian: "it went well friday anything come up while I was out?"

friday: "no new things have come up but I would like to go back to our earlier discussion pending your stress dream"

adrian: "like I said before that can wait til later for now I have things to do before the others awaken"

friday: "sir you made me to be the most advance AI in the world and then you never listen to me, how odd."

adrian: "don't take it personal friday I don't listen to anybody, I mean I hear what people are saying but most of the time I just do what I want. Thats not to say I won't take what they say into consideration if it suits me but I just like doing things my way." Making his way into the kitchen he begins to take things out to start cooking "now was there anything they wanted to eat?"

friday: "blink requested oatmeal waffles with a side of sauage while breeze wishes for blueberry muffins to be served. Other than that it is anything goes as usual, but now I insist on talking more about your dreams sir"

adrian: "friday calm down or I will uninstall you again, I will discuss this but I would like to have everyone present when I do. That way I would only have this conversation once rather than multiple times how does that sound to you?"

friday: "I suppose that is the best I can hope for with you so it will do"

adrian: "ha ha I win again, now lets get this over with and move on with the day" while he was cooking the breakfast something large enters the kitchen looking over he finds a white tiger walking in "oh nyla your awake if thats the case then the others must be as well. I'm guessing your hungry as well? friday have you prepared their meals this morning?"

friday: "yes sir I prepared it before they awoke as I always do and like always they devour it and begin their day" upon hearing that the sound of multiple animals is heard around the house.

adrian: "so it is well then lets get on with our day shall we" adrian finishes the cooking then proceeds to set the table once done he goes back to the kitchen and cleans up. Just as he is finishing cleaning both he and tox become aware of a presence.

tox:(whispers)

adrian: "yeah I feel it too"

friday: "sir you should know that..."

adrian: "no need friday i'm already aware" making his way to the table he notice someone sitting at the table "I knew you were here thats why I had your usual ready, gramps"

Sitting at the table is a tall, muscular man with long black hair pulled back and upon his face are three pale scars. The man referred to as gramps by adrian looks up from his newspaper giving him a smug look as he does it.

gramps: "now is that anyway to speak to your grandfather, all the other families show me a little more respect"

adrian: "true but considering I know you better then they do and given the fact that I don't fear you as much as they do i'm free to talk to you however way I want"

gramps: "the least you could do is call me by my name then"

adrian: "I could but I feel that calling you vandal savage is something more fitting of those not related to you. Besides you are my gramps so it only makes sense to call you that."

vandal: "I can't help but think how much you kids take after your parents, so I blame them for how you all came out"

adrian: "are you disappointed?"

vandal: "no considering how I raised them it only makes sense how you would come out" suddenly a loud crash is heard then the sound of something tumbling into the living room follows, hearing this they both immediately know what it is.

adrian: "sounds like the kids are awake"

vandal: "I was wondering when they would get up, such loud children" walking into the living room adrian finds the place a mess with burns and puddles of water all over, in the center of it center of it are three kids in a pile hitting eachother. Having seen enough adrian forms three tendrils from his back then uses them to seperate the kids and hold them in the air, after doing that he gets a good look at then and see that it is two boys and a girl. One of the boys has black unkept hair going down to his neck with a red streak in the middle the other boy has shorter hair that spikes out with a blue streak in it he also has on a pair of large round glasses they appear to be twins looking to be about ten years old, the girl looks to be a year younger with long red hair covering her back all three try to struggle out of adrian's grip to no avail. After a minute of struggle the kids finally stop, seeing this adrian uses this as a sign to talk.

adrian: "so do you guys care to tell me what this fight was about?" upon saying that all three begin talking at the same time, talking over eachother he can't understand whats being said. Having enough of this he uses his tendrils to cover their mouths then points to the red streak boy "one at a time, inferno you go first" removing the tendril from inferno's mouth he lets him speak.

inferno: "i'm fighting cause water spout over there came into my room and pissed on my bed while I was sleeping" hearing this adrian has a neutral expression while vandal has a raised eyebrow having heard the reason.

adrian: "what?"

inferno: "you heard me this guy wet my bed"

adrian: "hydro you want to add to this?" he then removes the tendril from hydro's mouth.

hydro: "what he said is a lie, he came into my room and urinated on my bed while I was sleeping" upon hearing that adrian uncovers the girl's mouth allowing her to speak.

adrian: "ok? so why were you fighting with them breeze?"

breeze: "cause one of them wet my bed!"

inferno/hydro: "it wasn't me it had to be him!" at this point they all go back to arguing, having enough of this adrian uses his tendrils to smash their heads together then drops them. As they sit on the floor rubbing their heads adrian looks at them with a blank expression.

adrian: "ok so what you guys are telling me is that you each think that the other came into your room just to piss on your beds?"

inferno/hydro/breeze: "thats cause one of them did!"

adrian: "even if I did believe that all this tells me that you three have wet the beds again"

breeze: "but big bro-"

adrian: "enough for now clean this mess then get clean and get your elemental asses to the table" after saying that they grumble all the way back upstairs leaving adrian in the living room.

vandal: "I see that they have improved in their training"

adrian: "don't start with me you walking fossil" walking over to the couch on fire he holds his hand over it causing the fire to be absorbed into it. After putting out the fire he repeats it on all the other fires then makes his way back to the table refilling vandal his cup with coffee.

vandal: "I see the kids where are the others?"

adrian: "knowing blink she still in the bathroom, havok and berzerker are probably trying to get ed out of bed like I had friday tell them to do"

vandal: "I would have thought ed would be one of the first to awake once the food was done?"

adrian: "thats cause I haven't taken the cover off his food yet" as soon as he removes the lid on one of the plates something crashes through the ceiling. When the dust clears there stands a tall man looking to be the same age as adrian who appears to have metal for skin, clinging to his body appears to be two guys who look like twins. Both have spikey black hair but one has orange highlights in his while the other has white highlights both guys fall off the metal man as he starts to shrink and his skin turns normal, standing there now is a guy wearing a red and white t-shirt with a dark green jacket he has short brown hair in a buzz cut. Adrian looks at the guys with an irritated expression "ed you idiot what have I told you about crashing through my walls, i'm the one who has to fix that you know" his words are ignored as the one called ed runs past him towards the table then begins to eat away. Seeing no point in talking to him anymore he turns to the other guys laying on the floor "you two what the hell man? letting ed smash my ceiling?"

orange/black hair guy: "don't be blaming us you know how ed gets when theres food"

adrian: "yes havok i'm aware of that but i'd assume that you and berzerker could handle that"

havok: "yeah well we were trying to wake him but the lump wouldn't budge. I guess all that junk food we had last night really tired him out?"

berzerker: "well he did eat more than most of us so when the sugar rush kicked in he didn't slow down til around three"

adrian: "whatever seeing as you two failed to do what I asked I now have to waste part of my day fixing that hole, with that said just go eat." he watches as they make their way over to the table and eat then looks back at the hole giving it a good look something pops in his head "what the hell is taking blink and the kids so long?" as if on que a portal of some sorts appears to his side. Stepping out of the portal is inferno and the others along with a older girls the same age as adrian. The girl has long white hair tied in a ponytail with purple highlights and gothic eye makeup wearing clothing that makes her look like a gothic witch she makes her way towards adrian. "What the hell took you so long? you take any longer and the day will be over"

blink: "excuse me I thought i'd make myself presentable for today"

adrian: "who you trying to impress? its just gramps or is this for someone else? probably someone with feathers?" after saying that a portal opens above him dropping a vase on his head "careful what you break there are some things here that can't be replaced"

blink: "whatever if you need me i'll be at the table" adrian watches as she makes her way over to the others then notice the kids standing next to him.

inferno: "hey bro whats going on for today?"

hydro: "are we going to continue our training?"

breeze: "your not still mad about earlier are you?"

adrian: "no i'm not mad at you guys anymore thanks to your cousins my anger has been redirected, anyway go get some breakfast before ed eats your share" with that said he leads them to the table then takes his seat "don't worry about training for today I have other things to do so feel free to take it easy just don't wreak my house"

vandal: "its so nice to see how well you can handle your family"

adrian: "so you say but we're still the ones all the other branches come to when they need help"

havok: "thats right cause we're the best and they all know it"

berzerker: "we're also one of the most successful among the families"

blink: "while most of the others are busy dealing with rival factions we have taken full control of this city"

inferno: "with that said all the other gangs in this city don't try anything without our approval"

hydro: "otherwise they get wiped out by us"

ed: "we get all the fun when others play with us"

adrian: "we may be the smallest family but we've proved that we have what it takes to be where we are now"

breeze: "thats why your one of the heads of the main branch right big bro"

adrian: "thats right baby girl I earned my place as one of the top heads of the main branch and everyone in the families knows that. Anyone who disagrees is more than welcome to try and take my throne i'll do to them what I do to those who get in my way"

blink: "after what you did to all the rival gangs its no wonder everyone calls you the demon. Your methods are cruel and destructive you destroy everything and everyone in your path and revel in the panic"

adrian: "yeah its fun when people panic over the things I do like that time I destroyed a hell fire weapons plant by blowing up a dam flooding that whole town."

havok: "yeah that really set them back a couple of millions and cost them control of that whole area not to mention the amount of manpower they lost. But in the process you ended up helping a bunch of people take back their home despite all the water damage they actually seemed to like the whole flooded town thing."

berzerker: "yeah so they didn't get mad at us or make us pay for damages so it worked out for us"

vandal: "even though you all are one of the most notorious branches in the family you are also the most problematic when it comes to property damage. I get more complaints about you lot then any other family not to mention the cost for all the things you destroy."

adrian: "hey we may not do things by the book but we get it done, sure someone might get hurt in the process mainly havok"

havok: "hey!"

adrian: "shut up, my point is that despite how things may turn out we still accomplish our objective better then anyone of the other families. So you can take that with you on your trip and ram it down all the nay sayers throats cause no matter what they say i'll still do things my way."

Everyone applauds at his statment only to stop when vandal raises his hand. Shorty after he reaches into his coat pocket pulling out a small case then opens it taking out a cigar, placing the cigar in his mouth a hand extends over to him with a lighter. Following the arm back to its source he finds it belongs to adrian who has stretched it from the other end of the table, lighthing his cigar vandal blows out some smoke then looks at everyone.

vandal: "upon hearing that I suppose it would be a waste of time and effort to try and say otherwise so I shall leave you to handle things. With that said I will need the reports before I leave as well as what you are doing thats so important."

adrian: "I have the files you want and i'll give them to you after breakfast as for what i'm doing later its simple, who knows what today is?"

havok: "tuesday?"

berzerker: "someone's birthday?"

blink: "some sort of holiday?"

ed: "the year of the clown?"

inferno: "i'm going with what ed said"

hydro: "me too"

breeze: "I am too cause it sounds interesting"

adrian: "no to all of that but I agree the clown thing is interesting today marks the last day of school and the begining of summer and I suggest to start off this day by throwing a massive party and inviting all the members of our crew to get wrecked with us, who with me?"

vandal: "thats what you are planning?"

adrian: "thats right I feel that this to signal the start to a summer of destruction. With school no longer an issue we can focus more on expanding our reach and dealing with the other gangs."

blink: "you do realize that no one here actually goes to school?"

berzerker: "not officially but that hasn't stopped us from sneaking into a school to hang out with our friends. We do it so often that there are actually files on us, since that happend they give us homework and I pretty sure they expect us to attend prom?"

havok: "one of us has already attended a prom and that was back in middle school" everyone then turns facing adrian who is wearing a smug look on his face.

adrian: "what can I say it must be my demon like charm. Besides ed also got invited to that prom so rail on him too."

blink: "ed is an idiot so we can't but back to what I said earlier"

adrian: "what you say is true but if you recall some of our crew still go to school so this party is more for them than us"

havok: "ok that makes more sense and I have to agree with school over we would have more time to hang out with angle and the others."

berzerker: "it would be outside of a classroom with no teacher asking us questions or yelling at us for not paying attention. Also a party is the perfect way to start it off so i'm in."

ed: "all our friends coming to play! ed is happy!"

havok: "thats right big guy we're going to tear this place apart just so we can watch adrian put it all back together" everyone laughs hearing that while adrian has on a blank expression.

inferno: "so bro who is coming? do you know?"

adrian: "so far i've only heard back from zatanna, deadpool and angel they all say their in. I have yet to hear from anyone else who I sent an invite to so we'll just have to wait and see."

blink: "besides those in our crew who else did you invite?"

adrian: "I also sent an invite to blight"

havok: "blight? isn't he still mad at us for what we did?"

adrian: "true but to be fair he did blow up one of our cargo ship destroying millions of dollars worth of weapons and tech. So us flooding that town was basicly an eye for an eye, but he already said he was coming"

blink: "anyone else?"

adrian: "I also invited victor" everyone is shocked to hear that.

blink: "you invited victor? are you crazy?"

adrian: "what do you mean?"

berzerker: "she means why would you invite him if zatanna is coming?"

havok: "thats right, you know how they get when there in the same room together"

adrian: "I know thats why I did it"

havok: "what are you talking about?"

adrian: "I know that zatanna wouldn't come if she knew victor was coming, she even asked me if I invited him. So I lied to her, I told her that I did but he declined then I did the same when victor asked me."

blink: "for what reason would you want those two here?"

adrian: "besides the fact that those two are some of my oldest friends? it also because I love watching how those two interact with eachother, its just so nice to see how much they love eachother."

havok: "are you still on that whole they love eachother but won't admit it thing? cause you know they don't?"

adrian: "you guys just don't see things like I do, if you did you'd be able to see what isn't on the surface"

blink: "it wouldn't hurt to have a little extra up there either"

adrian: "i'll admit that tox helps me quite alot but I like to think that my exprience over the years had some part in it"

blink: "speaking of your life I think now is a good time to bring up what happend this morning. It would appear you had another of your famous stress dreams again care to talk about it?"

adrian: "what gave it away?"

breeze: "we saw the nightstand"

hydro: "also friday told us"

adrian: (groans) "really friday?"

friday: "forgive me sir but I knew you would hold this off til later"

adrian: "you know me too well"

inferno: "so big bro what was it this time? the memory or the vision?"

adrian: "it was the memory this time"

havok: "you seem to be having them more recently any reason why?"

adrian: "none I can think of, all I know is that they are getting more intense by the day"

berzerker: "yeah we noticed, anyone want to go over the list?"

blink: "there was the destruction of a few walls"

havok: "three couches sliced in half, two tables smashed"

berzerker: "four televisions wrecked, several beds tossed out windows"

inferno: "one hallway covered in red webbing along with all our pets cocooned"

hydro: "three sleep rampages through town and five times waking up in the wilderness"

ed: "two times you try to eat someone and three cars tossed into trees"

breeze: "three nights of death howls and roars plus all the windows shattered, four act of arson, three million in property damage and five dirty sex calls to different people" everything is silent as adrian looks over them.

adrian: "ok I get it but I want to make something clear. First off only half of those were because of the dreams and secondly i'm not apologising for any of it and thirdly despite all of that no here is that angry about it"

unknown voice: "don't be so sure about that"

second unknown voice: "yeah I can think of a lot of people who aren't too happy about any of that, with us being some of them" everyone turns to the entrance way where a pair of twins are standing. Both are wearing form fitting clothes showing off their great figures, they look to be about the same age as adrian and his cousins. One is wearing a pair of white sunglasses while the other has on pink sunglasses, almost immediatly they all recognize them with adrian calling out their names starting with the one with white sunglasses.

adrian: "ah viola and kiki so good to see you, what brings you here in the morning?"

viola: "don't joke adrian you know why we're here, we came to hand your grandfather the reports over this months activities"

kiki: "also to talk to you about certain things"

adrian: "yeah yeah but before all that did you two get my invite?"

viola: "yes we got it and thats also what we wanted to talk about. Seriously with all due respect what the fuck are you thinking?"

adrian: "what do you mean?"

kiki: "she means with some of the people on your invite as well as the purchase of large quantity of booze and ammunition for this party"

adrian: "what? I invited everyone I knew who one: needs to have a good time and two: could make this party a fun one"

kiki: "no what you did was basically call over everyone who wants you dead for one reason or another and don't even get us started with the cost for this party"

viola: "nor the cost for all the activities this month"

adrian: "ok I won't besides I think you guys are overreacting. All this is me wanting to party with all my friends"

kiki: "friends?! are you fucking kidding me? you invited uriel who hates you so much that everytime she see you she stabs you with that light sword"

viola: "not to mention inviting victor and blight two of our biggest rivals as well others who want your head on a pike"

adrian: "ok how about acquaintances then?"

kiki: "I can't...you can not...how can you" as kiki trys to make sense of this viola slowly pulls out a gun aiming it at adrian while everyone else laughs. Before she can pull the trigger vandal cough getting everyone's attention as he rises out of his seat.

vandal: "I can see that things are well taken care of here and I would love to watch how all this plays out but I must be on my way if i'm going to be done with this task." Walking out of the room everyone soon follows while adrian stays behind to put away the dishes, once done he makes his way outside where the others are waiting. Once outside we get a good look of his home it is a large gothic mansion surrounded by miles of forest the house looks to be four floors high with two towers on opposite ends and gargoyles one each corner of the roof, on top of the towers are two flags with an image on it. On one flag is a red tribal image of a creature's head wearing a gothic jester hat with three bells dangling off it and a clubs under it, a diamond to the left, a heart on the right and a spade above it. On the other flag is a skull on top of a strange symbol (think the guild seal from fable) this flag is old and faded and looks to have been damaged in a fire. Adrian steps through the door leading outside and finds a small group of armed guards standing in attention next to three cars while his family and friends are talking, he makes his way over to vandal just as viola hands him the files.

adrian: "so much security for a simple buisness trip, getting paranoid with your age are we?"

vandal: "hardly this is the work of the other families trying to gain my favor by sending protection for me"

adrian: "right? cause the immortal vandal savage needs protection, if anyone needs protection its us from having to deal with your prehistoric ass"

vandal: "such arrogance I expect nothing less from ryan's kids"

adrian: "well he is your son and you did raise him so it only make sense how he would raise his"

vandal: "true out of all the kids i've had over the years ryan and arno were the most pompous of them all and mira as some would put it is a female version of me."

adrian: "strong, mighty with a serious obsession with that whole survival of the fittest crap, while you are a heartless bastard she is a cold bitch" vandal lets out a short chuckle before making his way towards the cars.

vandal: "I will miss these rousing conversation adrian, its like talking with ryan when he was your age but I have to be off. Try not to cause an international incident while i'm away."

adrian: "that was one time and its was the prime minister's fault he blew up that building I just handed him the explosives. You all never let me hear the end of it but whatever i'll miss you too, besides i'm not leaving this city for a while so you don't have to worry."

viola/kiki: "have a pleasent trip lord savage"

adrian: "you two don't need to do that with this guy, he just an old fart thats way past his experation date."

viola: "you maybe comfortable to speak that way towards your grandfather but not all of us can survive having a train thrown at us and just walk it off"

inferno: "bye gramps hope you drop by sometime"

hydro: "say hi to cousin dave and his family for us"

havok: "tell him to return our plasma cutter, I know he has it"

blink: "be careful gramps you know how some of our relatives like to opperate"

adrian: "yeah be careful we don't want another incident like in argentina now do we?" a portal opens above his head and another vase lands on his head but he remains unfazed "what did I say about that?"

berzerker: "bye gramps hope you don't get drag down by uncle tork like last time"

adrian: "oh sweet maker I forgot about that, and you guys rail on me over an international incident compare to what you and tork use to do"

breeze: "bye grampa I love you, hope you contact us I want to hear about your trip"

inferno/hydro: "kiss up" they then laugh until a tendril smacks them in the back of their heads causing them to look up at adrian who is giving off a menacing pressure causing them to grow silent.

adrian: "what they meant to say was they feel the same way, right you two?" they only nod in response, soon everyone waves as the cars drive off. Once the cars disappeared from sight adrian turns towards the others "alright guys with that done lets get on with the rest of the day before the party. Since I have some errands to do you guys can do whatever, just don't let it involve an angry mob got it?"

everyone: "got it!" with that said everyone makes their leave except viola, kiki and the kids who remain.

inferno: "big bro is it ok if we go and hang with our friends at school? they said theres going to be last day of school party"

adrian: "I don't see why not, just don't do anything too crazy that I get a call from them, last time the principle was very verbal and then physical when she asked to see me"

breeze: "it was funny when she slapped you like she did"

adrian: "says you it was painful for me, all because of one lousy remark"

hydro: "or maybe it had something to do with her finding out about you and her daughter?"

adrian: "I told it was a misunderstanding, nothing happend despite how it may have looked"

kiki: "thats not what she said?"

adrian: "well she is lying and anyway I don't want to talk about that anymore I got things to do today"

hydro: "ok then but is it ok if we invite them over for the party?"

adrian: "I did say this was for our friends so yeah, but you guys will have to stay on the top two floors. That way if things get out of control you won't get caught in it."

viola: "you mean when things get out of control, considering what is being supplied for this party and who is coming."

adrian: "I stand by what I say and do no matter what you say so there" he then sticks his tongue at them as they point two pistols at his forehead.

viola: "keep that up and well see just how good that healing factor of yours is"

adrian: "anyway if you guys are going to meet your friends you better get ready and have one of the others drive you" after saying that they rush back into the house leaving him with viola and kiki.

kiki: "now then lets get back to our previous talk shall we"

adrian: "walk and talk then cause I got things to do in the house before I go into town" making their way into the house adrian heads over to where the hole is, upon arriving he finds the material to repair it waiting for him.

friday: "sir I took the liberty of gathering what you would need to repair the hole while you all were outside"

adrian: "thank you friday you know me too well"

friday: "its what I do sir, i'll leave you to it then while I go on with the other things for today"

viola: "ok with that out of the way can we talk now?"

adrian: "sure sure lets have it" he then begins to fix the hole as they speak.

viola: "first off what possible reason would you have for inviting most of these people? have you forgoten that most of them want you dead and allowing them into your home would be a perfect chance for them to kill you?"

adrian: "oh i'm well aware of that, thats why I did it"

kiki: "excuse me but what the fuck does that mean?"

adrian: "I mean is that during the time these assholes will be here I will be completely protected from them"

viola: "what the hell are you talking about being protected? who is going to protect you? our guys? i'm pretty sure most of them will be pretty out of it during the party"

adrian: "no what I mean is the very people who want me dead are going to keep me safe at the party" both girls are completely stunned over what he just said for a good minute until viola speaks.

viola: "ok what the fuck are you talking about? why the hell would they protect you when they want to kill you?"

adrian: "simple its true they'll try to kill me but none of them will get the chance cause they'll be stopped by the others who want me dead"

kiki: "what the fuck makes you think that?"

adrian: "a little something called pride, that will make them keep me safe by preventing the others from succeeding"

viola: "what makes you think they won't just team up?"

adrian: "that goes over to pride's friend ego which will prevent them from actually working together"

kiki: "what makes you think that'll work or if they will even come?"

adrian: "that is all thanks to there long distanst friends paranoia and stubbornness. Paranoia will make them think that if they don't come someone else will take that sweet prize from right under them and stubbornness will make them come no matter how much they don't want to like a nagging wife." Upon hearing all the reasons both are quiet for awhile as adrian finishes the repairs, soon after they both speak.

kiki/viola: "you are a fucking mad man"

adrian: "thank you I know but you can't say that wouldn't work given who they are?"

viola: "no we can't but only you would think of something as crazy as that"

kiki: "that is why everyone calls him joker, cause he is a fucking lunatic"

adrian: "you two flatter me but I have other things to do so lets get done with this shall we, but first will I be expecting you two at the party?"

viola: "sure why not we could use the break"

kiki: "also to see if you plan works or not"

adrian: "great" soon they continue discussing other things with adrian lasting over an hour, they then make their way outside where they are able to catch the kids being taken to school by ed in a large hot rod "man I hope ed doesn't do what he did last time he dropped the kids off at school"

viola: "what happend last time?"

adrian: "he some how got the car into a classroom but there was no hole, to this day no one knows how he did it"

kiki: "how is that a bad thing?"

adrian: "it gave a eighty year old women a heart attack, scared the kids seeing an old women die right in front of them"

viola: "we're not going to ask any futher cause i'm scared to know what happend next, see ya later"

kiki: "see you at the party, for now we have to care of some other things with the crew before the day is done"

adrian: "let me know if you need some help or whatever, i'm going to deal with some personal things before I head into town"

viola: "would one of those things include that teleporter project you've been working on for years? why do you still work on that when there are people who can do that thanks to mutation and magic including blink?"

adrian: "the reason is that I can't expect blink to be there all the time and that people have limits or restrictions when doing it. For one thing there is range and they need a clear vision of where there going not to mention it takes concentration and they can only carry a certain amount of people. With magic users theres similar problems as well as the need for certain conditions in order to do it, with this we can screw all that get to farther areas no problem."

kiki: "I thought you already completed this four years ago?"

adrian: "not quite, i've only been able to get to a certain distance like around town but getting it to go farther is the real challenge. The further the distance the more spread out the energy gets in some cases only parts actually make it...and don't explode"

viola: "well good luck hope you get it down"

kiki: "yeah just don't go overboard, I want to see if you plan works or not" they then make their way over to their car then drive off leaving adrian alone, once sure they were gone he makes his way back into the house.

tox: "(whispers)"

adrian: "I know tox but we have to do this, completeing this will move us one step closer to a new world and that is a goal worth all the explosions"

tox: "(whispers)"

adrian: "yes and all the lawsuits riots and mobs of rival crews, it only makes it all the more exciting"

tox: "(whispers)"

adrian: "can't argue with that so lets get this project under way" heading over to a door he opens it leading to a flight of stairs going down, reaching the bottom he enters a large underground cavern. The layout of the area is multiple sections connected by tunnels and bridges all appear to be decorated with different furniture the top of the cavern appears to house a large colony of bats while small drones hover around the caverns looking to be maintaining everything. Nearby is a large glowing object that appears to be emitting some sort of energy, adrian looks at it then speaks to friday "friday anything change with the arc reactor?"

friday: "no sir it is functioning at peak efficiency as are all other equipment"

adrian: "well I guess I don't have to worry about it nor anything else, then lets move on to the project"

friday: "sir you don't seem to take interest in your last great project as you use to"

adrian: "not true friday i'm very proud of the arc reactor, this thing powers all the buildings in town owned by us while being better for the enviroment by not polluting. It may have taken many trials and plenty of setbacks but three years of work and millions of dollars later it was worth it, plus it makes working on my other projects easier by getting rid of the whole energy problem this thing can power everything no problem."

friday: "that is good to hear, shall we continue with the experiment then?"

adrian: "yes lets do this" adrian then makes his way to a section of the cavern that has be outfitted to work as a lab. Over to the side is a platform moving over to a consol next to the platform he takes a seat "friday begin recording" one of the screens infront of him turns on showing his image "experiment 885, teleportation enhancement is now underway. This will be trial number 54 we will be attempting to teleport an object from here to the base in europe, friday bring up the board" two holographic screens pop up infront of adrian one is blank while the other appears to have some kind of formula written on it. "We will now attempt to rework the formula from previous trials and hope to find the right solution. In trial 53 we attempted to use zeta waves with a large concentration of kentic energy the results not only were not what I was expected it also cost us half a base. This time we will attempt to use a new equation and hope for results begin the trial."

Upon saying that he begins to rework the formula on the blank screen while a drone comes over and places a container with a plant inside on the platform.

adrian: "we will be attempting to do this with both a living and non-living sample to see which will make it to the destination, from there we will see what needs work begin the experiment." he then press some buttons on the consol activating the platform making it light up until the samples disappear from sight. Turning back to the monitors an image of another platform lighting up, a short time later something appears on the platform however what arrives is only half of the plant while the container is missing. Adrian lets out a groan then faces the monitor "trial 54 results in only half of the plant getting to the destination while the container has not, this shows that the formula is still in need of work but at least something made it this time and it was the organic sample, to me this shows we're on the right track" as he goes on behind him the platform begins to spark up, he is unaware of it until both friday and tox alert him.

tox: "(whispers)"

friday: "sir I thought you should know that there appears to be some sort of interference coming from the platform"

turning towards the platform he see a large surge of energy burst out of it knocking him through the monitors and a few lab equipment before skidding to a stop on the floor. Recovering from the blast his body is covered in scars that are healing fast, looking up at the celing adrian is deep in thought until friday brings him out.

friday: "are you alright adrian?"

adrian: "i'm not dead but what about the lab?"

friday: "the blast destroyed the platform and caused a short blackout in parts of the house, I am already restoring the power however upon you being launched through the air has caused several pieces of equipment to be destroyed."

Getting up from the ground he wipes off dust and a piece of metal stuck in his shoulder then looks over the damages.

adrian: "the blast wasn't as bad as last time only a few things got wrecked thats a good sign. Still I bet circuit isn't going to like this" just as he said that a red beam strikes him knocking him into a desk, getting up he looks over to where the blast came from and finds a small black blob with red lines on its body looking like a circuit board with a small circle for a face. Back on his feet the blob is about ready to fire another blast only to stop when adrian raises both his hands in surrender "ok ok I get it your upset I would be too if some jackass kept destroying equipment and I have to repair it everytime. so how about I add a little extra to your treats for putting up with me?" hearing that circuit stops glowing then makes his way over to the damaged gear expanding his body to cover it all up. Seperating himself from the gear it appears to fully repaired, once done he makes his way back to adrian jumping onto his shoulder changing into a pair of headphones "well now thats over with lets head back upstairs, i've got other things to do before the party later."

circuit: "(series of musical frequencies)"

adrian: "no thats enough work on the teleporter for one day, we'll try again tomorrow for now lets handle the errands" once back to the top adrian places his hand on a wall causing a small screen to appear "hey assholes i'm heading into town be back later, friday have the mutt ready for me out front please" he then makes his way to the front door. Walking outside there is a large black muscle car waiting there, making his way to the front door he enters the car before starting it friday speaks to him from a screen.

friday: "sir would you be needing anything else today"

adrian: "no just keep me updated if anyone from the crew calls in"

friday: "very well sir have a pleasent trip"

adrian: "ha! if only that would happen" he then drives off from the house. Entering the town he parks the car then makes his way to a store, inside he goes over to the counter ringing the bell. Once the bell rings a man wearing a man with horns comes from the back comes to the counter, seeing adrian he grins before shakes his hand "how it goin flint?"

flint: "ah joker good to see, things are good what about you?"

adrian: "oh you know my gramps came for a visit and I ended up destroying more of my stuff, so the usual anyway you got what I ordered?"

flint: "yep got it in the back i'll have it sent to your home before the end of the day. So how are things with running this city?"

adrian: "according to the dewynter sisters things are going great, all the gangs are still going about there buisness while making sure to follow my rules, so long as they do that there won't be a problem."

flint: "thats good to hear, ever since you took over this city things have been better for honest folks like me, sure I still the usual troublemaker of hear of some of the gangs getting into fights but thats nothing compared to what this town use to be before you came along."

adrian: "yeah ever since I took out the three largest gangs in town the smaller ones only had two choices get on board or get out of town otherwise they end up just like the others. Anyway I have things to do just makes sure my order gets to my house got it?"

flint: "don't worry it'll be there later today, see ya around joker"

Leaving the store he walks down the street along the way people greet him as he walks by. Following the same thing he enters more stores talking with the owners then moves on to the next, on his way he stops by when he see someone sitting outside with a tv, on it is a news report. Looking closer he is able to make out what their saying.

female reporter: " rise in activity involving mutant gangs is seen throughout the world, most recently those involving members of the worst generation."

male reporter: "thats right for those who are just joining us it been almost four years since these individuals refered to as the worst generation have truly made themselves known far and wide. From explosions to floods there seems to be any sign of stop for the gangs or the worst generation."

female reporter: "right you are, in other news recent activity caused by the purifiers have been seen in several areas, all of which have been against mutant kind. Though the activities of this group were limited to graffiti all the way to destruction of property owned by mutants there have been signs of violence towards mutants themselves, sure enough the mutant community has not let this gone unnoticed with retaliation things could esculate to a full blown war."

Having heard all that adrian gives a scoff then walks along giving this some thought. Entering a park he strolls through the woods thinking about everything that is happening today.

tox: "(whispers)"

adrian: "I know what you mean, it wasn't long ago these purifier were nothing more then a bunch of bigots who feared and hated mutants for simply being different, now theres looking to be a war in the air if something isn't done."

tox: "(whispers)"

adrian: "no theres no need for us to do anything at the moment, so far theres only been small distrubances nothing that would involve the gangs so for now we wait and see." Walking through the woods he stops when something catches his attention, jumping into the air landing on a branch using it to find the source. His attention is brought towards what appears to be a couple of shady looking guys surrounding a women in strange clothing. Moving closer he recognizes those men "aren't those nicky's boys? what are they doing muscling on my turf?" moving through the trees he plants himself right above them making sure not to be noticed, shooting a strand of webbing from his hand then uses it to hang upside down from the branch, this allows him to better hear what there saying.

arfur: "i'm only gonna say this once lady this here is nicky the nicknames turf anyone who passes through here has to pay up to him, so hand over all your valuables."

women: "his turf? is your boss so afraid that he hides in the woods hoping that the monster doesn't find him?"

thug: "what did you say no one talks about our boss that way"

arfur: "easy there listen lady i'm trying to be nice here all we want is your stuff, you give us that and we'll let you on your way" as he talks right behind him one by one the thugs are quietly grabbed and dragged up into the trees without the others noticing until only he is left. "Your trying my paitences now so if you don't do as I say my friends here will have to play rough"

women: "what friends would that be?"

arfur: "what are you blind? don't you see these gu-" he stops when he finds all the thugs missing "hey where did you idiots go?" before he could react red webbing wraps around him lifting him into the trees disappearing as adrian jumps down in front of the women.

adrian: "well looks like this spider has caught some stink bugs"

women: "thank you for your assistance in this situation"

adrian: "no problem I was just passing by and saw something that looked interesting saving you was just my good deed for the day"

women: "perhaps? but I find it difficult to believe someone like was just passing by in the trees" walking a bit closer adrian finds the women to be blind underneath her hood.

adrian: "wait how did you know I was in the trees?

women: "I had a feeling that there was another presense among us, one who is different from the rest"

adrian: "ok now i'm the one who is having a hard time believing that, I can tell from your eyes that there was no way you could have saw me so how you do it? are you some kind of mutant or a mage?"

women: "I suppose you could call me a mage I have ways of seeing without the need of eyes but enough about that lets get back to how I should repay you for your help."

adrian: "as much as I like the thought miss you don't have to do that, I was just taking care of something on my to do list thats all"

women: "you may call me theresa and I insist that your actions be rewarded" rummaging through her clothes she pulls out a small box with a key on the side of it then hands it to adrian, upon closer inspection it is revealed to be a music box.

adrian: "a music box? look theresa as much as I like interesting trinkets its as I said you don't have to pay me for this"

theresa: "you will need that music box if you are to face the challenges ahead, turn the key three times and wait for the box to open."

adrian: "what challenges are you talking about and what happens when this opens?" theresa walks past him then turns her head looking at him one last time.

theresa: "it will grant you that which you need, trust me adrian only then will the dreams make sense and be over for you."

Looking down at the music box adrian takes in what he is told but comes out of it when something strikes him.

adrian: "wait hold on how did you know my name? and how do you know about the dreams?" looking up he finds she has disappeared without a trace. "Where did she go? do you guys see her?"

tox: "(whispers)"

circuit: "(musical frequencies)"

adrian: "(sighs) yeah it was worth a shot anyway, mages they can be so weird but who am I to talk? what do you guys think she meant by challenges?"

tox: "(whispers)"

adrian: "yeah I don't know either" he looks down at the music box "you don't think this is bomb do you?" circuit extends its head shining a green light on the box, once done he retracts his head.

circuit: "(frequencies)"

adrian: "ok so its not a bomb as far as you can tell we'll just have to deal with it later for now what should we do with them?" putting the music box in his coat adrian walks over to a tree giving it a light tap causing arfur and his goons to drop down all covered in webbing. Removing the webbing covering arfur's mouth he lets him speak "so what brings you guys into my city?"

arfur: "piss off you little bugger we got nothing to say to you!"

adrian: "now thats not nice, you guys are in my city making trouble the least you can do is tell me why your here?"

thug: "what makes you think that a little shit like you can call this your city?" as the thug said that a large black claw stabs right through him killing him instantly. As his body hangs there lifeless adrian pulls his claw out letting it drip with blood before shaking it off.

adrian: "thats what makes me think I can call this my city so if your boss wants to do anything in my city he knows he has to follow my rules otherwise this happens. So you make sure you tell him that as you run carrying your friend before I lose my smile." letting them out of the webs he watches as they make there way out.

arfur: "this ain't over you won't be sitting on that throne forever joker"

adrian: "I know but I highly doubt that'll be anytime soon or by bugs like you now fuck off." Once they were gone from sight his hand returns to normal he then makes his way out of the park and back to the car driving home. Returning home he enters the house where a commotion is heard coming from the living room, walking into the living room he finds his cousins and siblings there arguing "what the hell is going on here?"

breeze: "big bro blink is being a jerk again"

adrian: "again? I didn't know she could be anything else besides a bitch?" a portal opens and a book falls on his head once again he doesn't feel it "your learning thats good so what this about now?"

blink: "this is about an unfair ruling on a game. These little monsters cheated by not following the rules."

adrian: "oh is that all and here I thought it was something serious"

havok: "it is we're down fifty grand cause of these three"

inferno: "no your down fifty grand cause you ain't got no skills" suddenly everyone is powering up ready to attack, but before they can a large blade slams between them. The blade being adrian's arm changes back once everyone is calm.

adrian: "ok thats enough save some of that energy for the party later, for now I want to know if my stuff came or not?"

berzerker: "yeah it got here awhile ago, we took it down to your lab for you."

adrian: "thanks if thats done what should I do now?"

blink: "how about telling us how your latest trial went? from the sound of that explosion i'd say it didn't go so well?"

adrian: "well your only half right it didn't go as expected but thats not to say it didn't show results. I may have not succeeded as I hoped but i'm on the right trail."

inferno: "thats great bro so how long til you get it to work?"

adrian: "hard to say could be awhile but i'll just have to keep trying til I get there"

hydro: "oh yeah bro we heard from one of our guys that you had a run in with some of nicky's goons in the park today how'd that go?"

adrian: "i'd say it went well, I sent them off with a warning then came home"

havok: "yeah you gave them a warning, is that what those people call when they found that huge blood stain in the woods?"

everyone looks over to adrian as he rummages through his coat. Seeing the eyes on him he gives a shrug before finding what he was looking for.

adrian: "what? I only killed one of them i'd say thats plenty good of warning"

havok: "you want us to send somebody after them? maybe teach nicky a lesson about who's in charge in this town?"

adrian: "no thats alright if they come back and cause trouble then send deadpool i'm sure he would love to play with them" he then takes out the music box placing it on the table for everyone to see.

breeze: "big bro whats that?"

adrian: "its a music box, I got it from this odd lady in the park today"

havok: "someone else was there with you?"

adrian: "there was a women there that nicky's boys were trying to shake down until I came along. She said her name was theresa before handing me this music box.

blink: "we didn't hear anything about a women being there?"

adrian: "i'm pretty sure she was a mage so that could explain it?"

berzerker: "that would make sense considering that magic users are hard to keep track of. So this women gave you a music box and you accepted it?"

adrian: "not at first but she said something about how I would need this for some kind of challenge then she disappeared before I could ask futher."

havok: "magic users are so cryptic how is a music box gonna help you?"

adrian: "not sure but she somehow knew my name and she knew about the dreams"

blink: "wait she knew about the dreams? how the hell could that be? no one outside the our family knows about it"

adrian: "i'm not sure but from the way she said it she may know more then we think"

berzerker: "you want us to bring her in?"

adrian: "waste of time, no doubt she long gone without a trace theres no point"

blink: "so that brings us back to the music box, how do we know it ain't a bomb or something?"

adrian: "I had circuit check it out and as far as he went it doesn't appear to be a bomb"

havok: "yeah but it could be a magic bomb, remember circuit can't detect things of magic"

?: "thats right for that you need someone with a preference for magic like me" this new voice causes everyone to look over to the entrance way to find a girl looking to be the same age as adrian and his cousins standing there. The girl has long black hair and dressed like a stage magician, seeing her everyone rushes over to greet her.

havok: "zatanna man is it great to see you"

zatanna: "good to see you too havok and everyone else included"

berzerker: "we didn't hear you come in, thats just like you always trying to surprise us"

friday: "apologies everyone I was unable to detect her presence"

zatanna: "sorry about that friday I didn't mean to do that to you, I just love surprising people its kinda my thing"

friday: "apologies accepted"

breeze, inferno and hydro run up giving her a group hug.

breeze: "its so great to see you this means we can play together"

inferno: "are you gonna show us some new tricks while your here?"

hydro: "are you gonna tell us about your travels?"

zatanna: "thats right but later for now I came for the party" as they let go ed scoops her up giving her a big bear hug.

ed: "ed is happy to see his friend again"

zatanna: "its great to see you too ed but you think you can loosen your grip getting kind of hard to breath here" when ed didn't hear her she disappears in a puff of colorful smoke reappearing on the sofa.

adrian: "not that it isn't great to see you and all why are you here so early? the party isn't for another couple of hours" getting off the sofa she gives him a hug then breaks away.

zatanna: "I know that but I wanted to see one of my oldest childhood friends hoping to surprise him, but like always you knew I was there way before I made presense known"

adrian: "what can I say I have a high sense of awareness, but it was a nice try though"

zatanna: "besides I was hoping to spend some time with you guys before the party starts, knowing how chaotic your parties get especially considering who you invited."

adrian: "yeah things sure get fun after awhile and if your here to give me your two cents about that you forget it I already got enough from kiki and viola today."

zatanna: "fine i'll leave it at that so long as you haven't invited certain people i'm fine with whatever"

adrian: "despite knowing who your talking about he declined so don't worry about it"

zatanna: "I suppose thats all I can hope to get from you about that, but I doubt he would not come if he believed someone else would take a chance at killing you"

adrian: "you would be right he almost said yes but refused when he heard you were coming, I guess he didn't want another confrontation like last time."

zatanna: "yeah I suppose that would be a good enough reason for him to decline" her voice is shakey sounding almost like she is disappointed, only adrian notice this as she covers it up. "But enough about that I want to hear about this lady and music box now" adrian then shows her the music box while telling her about the event. "It is possible that she may have been a mage but as for this music box" she takes it in her hands giving it an inspection "I can't sense any magic in it at all this just a regular music box"

adrian: "well if our sorercess supreme says its fine then I guess its fine" taking back the music box he puts it back on the table.

zatanna: "first off don't call me that you know I hate that title and second there something else about that box. Its those markings all over it I swear i've seen those markings somewhere before but I can't remember where."

adrian: "i'm sure it will return to you but for now if theres nothing to worry about the music box then I say we move on."

blink: "did this theresa say anything else about the box before she left?"

adrian: "all she said was turn the key three times then wait for the box to open, when that happens it will grant me that which I need"

breeze: "maybe its a magic music box that grants wishes!"

havok: "grant wishes what the hell would he need a wish for? this guys got everything a man could want. Money, power, a giant panther statue made completely out of vibranium." everyone looks over to the otherside of the living room where the statue is facing the tv.

adrian: "have to say that thing makes for a great lounging spot when watching tv"

berzerker: "oh yeah despite what our families suggesting selling it considering how much that thing would go in the market what a great use of it."

adrian: "i'm fully aware of that but this thing was a gift so I won't be selling it and also just as I told everyone who suggested that...fuck off I ain't selling"

zatanna: "moving on with all things considered I don't see how this thing could grant anything if theres no magic at all"

hydro: "maybe its one of those trinkets that absorb magic when activated?"

zatanna: "could be? but if that was the case its not gonna do anygood here since none of you are magic users, your all mutants."

everyone: "and proud of it!"

zatanna: "my point is that we don't know much about this box or that women to try anything so lets leave it alone until I can do some research on it."

friday: "sir I think you should know that your dogs have captured someone on the front yard."

adrian: "really must be another salesman, thought they got the message last time to stay away." Once outside they see three large dogs surrounding a tree while barking at something, while everyone is watching this adrian notice a large white wing sticking out. Letting out loud whistle he calls over the dogs, rushing over to him he gets a good look at them, one has brown fur, the other has a lightish gray color and the last has black fur.

inferno: "looks like dizzy and the others caught something again"

hydro: "wonder what it is this time?"

adrian: "I already have a good idea who, angel you can come down now its safe." upon saying that someone falls out of the tree it is a guy with dirty blonde hair with a ski cap and two large white feathered wings.

angel: "dude you need to give your dogs something to chill, cause they do this everytime I visit."

adrian: "its only cause they love to play with you man thats all. Besides you can't stay mad at them just look at their faces." he begins petting them starting with black one "besides you know that mabari war hounds are highly intelligent they could have found a way up to you if they wanted to attack"

angel: "no dude I don't cause mabari hounds are extinct except those three, well anyway forgetting that I came for the party"

havok: "party isn't for another hour dude so come hang with us til then"

while everyone enters the house talking among themselves adrian and the kids hang back with the dogs. He then names them of in the order of brown, black and grey.

adrian: "dizzy, ace, sophie you three did a good job guarding the home like always"

breeze: "espically sophie she did a great job even though she blind" a closer observation shows that sophie is completely blind.

adrian: "thats true dispite being blind she proved that she is far from helpless, now then lets all head inside something tells me were going to have company soon."

hydro: "why do you say that?"

adrian gesture over to the horizon where the sound of multiple vehicles approaching.

inferno: "wow sounds like alot of people are coming"

adrian: "I knew they couldn't pass up an opportunities like this, ah pride you and your friends never fail me. Come on kids things are about to get fun." heading inside they await for the arrival of the other party guest.

Time skip: middle of the night:

Time passes and the party comes to a close the results of it being wild is a half destroyed mansion and yard. Adrian steps out of the building completely unscathed with a smug grin on his face as he watches the last of his guest leave, with a huge sigh he looks up at the night sky lost in thought until tox brings him back.

tox: "(whispers)"

adrian: "I know tox but we got to enjoy these moments while they last, eventually these will be just memories."

tox: "(whispers)"

adrian: "I know right? I told you all that my plan would work and it did not a scratch on me" just then he is slapped across the face by zatanna who appears out of nowhere.

zatanna: "you were saying?" she has an angry expression while adrian rubs his face.

adrian: "ok I know what that was about and I deserved that but techically the partys over so that don't count"

zatanna: "I should do far worse to you for lying to me and making me stay along with him" her hands are glowing with magic ready to fire at adrian.

adrian: "oh come on its me this is totally something I would do, I knew neither of you would come if the other did thats why I lied and no matter what you or victor tried to do to me at the party will make me regret seeing the looks on your faces when you saw eachother."

zatanna: "I guess I should've seen that coming, i'll let you off the hook but if you ever do something like this again i'll kill you myself. Don't forget I know you can't handle magic as well you can with other energies."

adrian: "I have no doubt you could but I promise not to do anything like this to you again. Victor on the other hand I think i'll do this at least three more times."

zatanna: "I guess I can allow that if you promise to send me photos"

adrian: "don't I always?" they share a hearty laugh for a bit.

zatanna: "listen joker before I go I want to know what you plan to do with that box"

adrian: "I was planning on opening it to see whats up with it"

zatanna: "thats what I thought, listen joker I don't want you doing anything with that box until I find something on it"

adrian: "oh come on i'm curious, ever since I got that box i've been wanting to open it and see what she meant.

Zatanna reaches over and grabs one of adrian's ears causing him pain forcing him on one knee as she pulls him close.

zatanna: "listen joker under no circumstance are you to open that box until I say so, do you hear me?"

adrian: "ahhh come on zee-"

zatanna: "I mean it joker no matter what got it?"

adrian: "ok ok I adrian savage will under no circumstances attempt to open that music box, now will you please let go of my ear? I need it to hear." Upon hearing that she lets go then turns away to leave. Taking one last look at adrian she disappears in a puff of smoke, waiting a few seconds before confirming she is gone he lets out a huge sigh. Once the coast was clear a large black claw appears from behind adrian, the claw appears to have it's fingers crossed. Seeing this adrian lets out a sarcastic gasp "tox you had your fingers crossed" they then make it back into the house. Once inside he returns to what remains of his living room to find his family battered and bruised sitting around the music box.

havok: "everything hurts why did barda have to punch me through a wall?"

berzerker: "probably had to do with you playing grab ass"

havok: "I regret nothing, I at least got hit in before she used me like a club to beat people with.

blink: "how in the hell were you not hurt joker?"

adrian: "its like I told you all my plan worked, I was protected by the very people who wanted me dead and as a bonus they I got to see the looks on their faces when they realized it."

inferno: "so now that the party is over what are we going to do with this?" everyone looks at the music box as friday appears.

friday: "sir may I remind you that you promised zatanna that you wouldn't open the box until she reports back."

adrian: "oh I know friday and I won't, but I won't be the one opening it"

hydro: "then who is?"

adrian: "I promise I wouldn't open it, she said nothing about tox"

breeze: "what do you mean?"

adrian: "I mean is if tox were to say take control of my arms I wouldn't be able to stop him and you guys can barely move, so who can stop him?" as he said that his arms start to change, the upper part of his arms turn red while the forearms turn black with large claws. Reaching over to the music box tox is ready to begin "ok before tox opens this does anybody want to get something off their chest?"

ed: "I was the one who ate blinks make up kit"

blink: "I knew it"

inferno: "I just want everyone here to know that it wasn't hydro that destroyed the east wing bathroom it was me."

hydro: "thanks inferno"

inferno: "I thought i'd say that incase evil spirits come out of the box and kill us all"

adrian: "ok tox open it up"

Tox begins to slowly turn the key as everyone watches with anticipation, once the key turns a third time the box opens everyone sighs in relief that nothing happend.

havok: "oh thank the maker, was anyone else waiting for their face to melt off?" they look over to the box as music plays out of it.

berzerker: "thats it?, I was expecting something more"

blink: "perhaps she was just some senile women?"

adrian: "no, she knew more then she let on I could tell from how she acted and the way she spoke."

ed: "pretty music"

breeze: "ed right, I like it"

inferno: "so what now?"

adrian: "for now we go to bed and no here tells zee about this, so help me if any of you rat me out i'll will bring you down with me like a zombie on its way to hell, got it?" everyone agrees to this before something comes to mind.

hydro: "uhh bro there might be a problem with that, if memory serves most of rooms were destroyed during the party."

adrian: "I see your point, well looks like we're sleeping in the living room again. Everyone find a spot while I get the sheets, friday until I can get the house fixed up set up defense level four."

friday: "yes sir"

inferno: "big bro who gets the foldout bed?"

adrian: "you kids and blink can have it, the rest of us can sleep in web hammocks."

havok: "oh come on those things suck"

adrian: "how about a web pinata?"

havok: "hammocks are the best, espically when there made of webbing"

hydro: "big bro why don't we take out the murphy beds?"

adrian: "with the house the way it is I don't know how stable the walls are or if any of the beds are still intact, i'm pretty sure I saw a few being used in the brawl." with that said and done they begin to set up for sleep with adrian shooting large amounts of webbing creating hammocks for him and the others while blink and kids take the bed. Hours after setting up the beds everyone is fast asleep, during this adrian appears to be tossing in his sleep as if having a strange dream. Deep inside adrian's dream we find him standing on a hill overlooking a barren land, right behind him is a strange looking tree devoid of leaves. "Great this again, first the memory and now the vision. I've never had both on the same day something is up." As adrian thinks this over he looks up at the tree, the figure of the tree is both mystical and frightening, suddenly the tree lights up when many will-o-wisps appear all over the tree acting as leaves. Letting out a sigh adrian stares at the lights "this has append before, that means next will be" suddenly he feels a presence behind him "right on time" turning around he comes face to face with a giant shadow in the form of a dragon. The dragon speaks with a echo with each word he speaks.

dragon: "the time is here, be ready for they will need you"

adrian: "what time? who needs me? and be ready for what?" just as he ask that the dragon spreads his wings then breaths fire onto the tree causing all the wisp to change into different colors. Once that happens voice begin to fill the air, none of them adrian recognizes "I don't know these voices, who are they?" his question goes unanswered as the dragon takes to the air breaking the sky turning into space while the rest of the world breaks around adrian leaving him with just the tree. As he stands in an empty void something rings through the air, he recognizes it a the song from the music box "ok this is new, why am I hear that song now?" suddenly he senses an energy surge "what the hell? this feeling its energy but I don't know this, its different and its not coming from the dream its coming from the real world!" waking up he looks around the room before noticing a light coming from the music box. Both the light and the music intensifies as it starts to spin, while this goes on adrian's begin to emit a strange black aura. "Tox are you ok?"

tox: "(echos of screams)"

While this is going on the rest of the family wakes up to see a strange light and adrian holding his head as his hands glow.

breeze: "big bro whats going on?"

havok: "what hell is up with that light?"

berzerker: "wheres it coming from?"

hydro: "whats wrong with bro?"

blink: "i'm not sure, but why is his hands glowing?"

ed: "ed scared make music stop!"

inferno: "bro whats happening?"

adrian: (in pain) "its the music box its doing this!" everyone looks over towards the music box as it picks up speed "everyone we need to get out of he-" before he could finish the light envelop the whole room.

all: "ahhhhhhhh crap baskets!" they all scream as the light envelops them before they vanish from sight.

friday: "sir are you there?...sir?"

Unknown Location:

Deep in an unknown forest ontop of a mountain we find adrian on the ground unconscious, as he lies there he begins to stir when a light shines in his face. Trying to open his eyes he finds his vision is off and his body feels different while trying to get up.

adrian: "tox I can't see and my body, i'm having a hard time moving it, what about you?"

tox: "(whispers)"

adrian: "yeah I thought as much, worth a shot though. I don't know what happend but I do know it had something to do with that damn music box, we'll deal with that later for now we need to figure out where we are and where the others"

tox: "(whispers)"

adrian: "I don't know where we are but based on what i'm feeling which i'm pretty sure is that we're on a mountain somewhere. Which mountain I can't be sure of since our senses are shot right now, so we'll just have to keep moving and see what we find." As they make their way through the mountain something begins to ring in their head.

blink: "hello joker is that you?"

adrian: "blink? blink is that you?"

blink: "yes its me where are you?"

adrian: "i'm not sure all I know is i'm on a mountain, what about you? do you know where the others are?"

blink: "yes i've found them through psychic link, but theres something wrong. Our senses are off as well as our bodies, none of us can find the others, what do we do?"

adrian: "keep everyone on psychic link, we'll use it like a tether. Have everyone convene on my location, from there we'll figure this out one step at a time."

After talking with blink adrian is leaning on a rock trying to regain his vision while waiting for the others to find him. He is alerted to something approaching, a familiar voice tells him who it is.

breeze: "big bro?"

adrian: "breeze? is that you?"

breeze: "big bro it is you, somethings wrong I can't see"

inferno: "welcome to the club wind chimes, that makes all of us"

hydo: "bro are you there?"

adrian: "hydro, inferno where are the others?"

havok: "right here, cept I don't know where that is"

berzerker: "someone want to tell me what the hell happend?"

blink: "if we knew that i'm sure we wouldn't be in this predicament"

ed: "ed is itchy!" hearing all these voice adrian is certain that its his family, taking a breath he stands up then address the others.

adrian: "everyone take a breath then shut the fuck up, this isn't the time to panic"

havok: "then when do we panic?"

adrian: "after we get a feel as to what happend then you guys can go ape shit. Think back what is the last thing you guys we remember before waking up?"

hydro: "the last thing I remember was the party then going to bed...wait! I remember seeing a light then waking up here"

havok: "I don't know what that light was but it messed us up, when I woke up all I could see was darkness, now everything is all blurry I can't even see my hand in front of my face and for some reason my hand feels funny!"

inferno: "your hand feels funny? I can't feel my fingers, it almost like there not there!"

berzerker: "my body feels strange its like i'm in someone else skin"

ed: "ed is itchy!"

breeze: "big bro whats going on?"

adrian: "based on what i've heard something happend to us last night and I think its had something to do with that music box"

havok: "I thought you said it was just a regular music box?"

adrian: "thats what I thought but then that light came out of it. I don't want to jump the gun yet but i'm pretty sure it was magic."

berzerker: "I thought zatanna didn't sense magic in the box?"

adrian: "so did I but when I woke up I felt an energy source and I know that same feeling from all the times i've been hit with magic, but this felt off some how."

havok: "so this the work of magic? great just what we need to start off the summer getting fucked up with some hocus pocus bullshit"

adrian: "has anyone here try to contact friday since they woke?"

inferno: "I tried but I didn't get a response, also I think my id card is gone" everyone then checks themselves for anything but find nothing but a strange feeling with their bodies.

havok: "great not only are we blind but now we don't have anyway of calling for help and I can't be certain but i'm pretty sure i'm naked"

adrian: "now that you mention it it does feel like we're not wearing anything at all and for some reason i'm ok with that"

blink: "but thats normal for you, that still doesn't explain what is wrong with us?"

breeze: "hey! I think my eyes are getting better?" suddenly everyone begins to notice the blurr in their vision start to fade. Once it returns they look over to where the others are, but are shocked to find in place of their family they find strange creatures. The first thing they do upon seeing this is run around screaming in panic, bumping into eachother and things.

havok: "ahhhhh! what the hell is going on? where the hell is my family?"

berzerker: "wait! havok?"

havok: "berzerker? is that you?"

adrian: "wait don't tell me" they all stop running then look at eachother as something comes to mind "oh you got to be kidding me! not only are we somewhere else we've been turned into animals"

inferno: "so wait you mean that you guys are my family?"

hydro: "it would seem so, but what are we?"

adrian: "well if i'm seeing this right I think I know what we are, i'll start with havok and berzerker" looking over to where they are he see two large creature with bodies of lions and heads of eagles, both have black fur and grey feathers but one has white lightnings on the side of his head while the other has an orange blast mark on the side of his head. "I'm guessing you two are gryphons, so then the one with lightning on his head is berzerker and the one with the blast mark is havok."

berzerker: "so thats what we are? then what about the others?"

adrian: "lets see we'll do ed next" looking over at ed they see a large creature on two hooves, its covered in brown fur with two horns on its head that looks like a bulls head "it would appear that ed is a minotuar, which is why he is itchy" seeing ed still scratching himself he lets out a groan "hey you two put your claws to use and help ed with his itch"

havok: "ugh fine but what about blink and the kids" while havok and berzerker are helping ed adrian inspect blink and the kids. Upon seeing them he finds they have been turned into horses, a closer look show a large slender horse with light purple fur and a long white mane with purple highlights he quickly figures this was blink. Turning to the kids he see they are smaller then blink with two of them look about the same with grey fur and long unkept black manes, the difference between them is on has a red streak in its mane while the other has a blue streak this told him that they were inferno and hydro. Finally he looks over to the smallest of them which he assumes is breeze, she appears to have pink fur with a dark red mane that covers her back.

adrian: "it looks like blink and the kids have been turned into...horses"

inferno: "we're horses? thats not fair you guys got turned into cool things."

adrian: "looks like it but theres something odd about you guys"

hydro: "whats that bro?"

adrian: "i'm not certain but I think you guys are actually smaller then an average horse also your faces appear to be shorter. Also I don't think thats the only thing."

breeze: "what do you mean big bro?"

adrian: "well if you haven't notice yet some of you appear to have a extra on you. For starters it looks like blink and hydro appear to have horns on thier heads and breeze you seem to have a pair of wings on you."

hydro: "so me and blink are unicorns and breeze is a pegasus, but what about inferno?" breeze is checking inferno's body trying to find any wings or a horn but turn up empty.

breeze: "I don't see any wings and theres no horn"

inferno: "wait does that mean i'm just a regular short horse?"

blink: "it would appear so"

inferno: "so wait out of everyone here i'm the only one that got turned into a normal animal? thats so unfair! havok and berzerker are gryphons, eds a minotaur and you guys are unicorns and pegasus while i'm just a stupid horse" while he rants his body begins to emits small flames, seeing this adrian lets out a short whistle towards hydro who begins to gather water in the air then hurls it at inferno causing steam to fly off his body.

adrian: "keep it at room temperature inferno, we don't need to be cooked right now"

inferno: "thats easy for you to say, have you seen what you are?"

adrian: "no, what am I?"

hydro: "if I had to guess, i'd say your a dragon bro"

adrian: "a dragon? blink care to help me get a good look?" hearing this blink opens a portal in front of him giving him a reflection, upon seeing himself he is indeed a dragon. He had a maw filled with razor sharp teeth, he had two small bat like ears underneath two large black horns on each side of his head. His body was well built while long with a long neck, his body was covered in scales with the upper body red while the lower part was black the underbelly was also black, he had two large bat like wings on his back and small black spikes going down his back to his tail which was long like a whip. His eyes remained the same except with black slits in the middle, he had black four clawed hands with thumbs in the front and four claw feet. After getting a good look at himself adrian then speaks "holy shit...I look awesome!"

inferno: "see my point exactly, why am I the only one who got screwed!" out of frustration inferno kicks a nearby rock smashing it to pieces, this surprises everyone "whoa! did you see that? I couldn't do that before" hydro and breeze attempt to do the same but are unable to break them.

adrian: "looks like your not just a normal horse after all, now then lets see where we are" walking over to the edge he see a forest down below but see no sign of civilization.

havok: "well what do you see?"

adrian: "I see a forest but no town or road of any kind, we may be far from any civilization but that doesn't explain why we've been turned into animals. So that leaves on question all together, WHERE THE FUCK ARE WE?!"

?: "I could tell you where are lad"

everyone is startled to hear a new voice, when they turn around they are shocked to see who is behind them.
