Robin: *turns on the TV*

Newscaster: Breaking news! There have been two murders in the city. One near the library, and the other one was near the hospital. We will be showing the pictures of the victims now. Thirty-five year old Thomas Smith, and twenty-two year old Richard Jenkins, both of them were criminals. However, someone got a picture of the suspect fleeing the scene. We will be showing the picture now. *a picture of a man in a red mask with no features and grey hoodie flashes onto the screen*

Featherwind: *has an idea of who it is* Who is that? And don't say a mass murderer, because A: he's not a mass murderer, and B: it's obvious that he's a murderer.

Mint-chip: *walks down the stairs* Woah, who is that?

Featherwind: *looks at Mint-chip* How should I know?

Mint-chip: I don't know. I don't know who it is either.

Featherwind: Suuureee…

Mint-chip: What are you implying?

Featherwind: Nothing… *You're hanging out with EJ again, aren't you?*

Mint-chip: *Maybe, maybe not.*

Featherwind: *MINTY! HOW COULD YOU?!*

Mint-chip: *Just don't tell anyone.*

Featherwind: *I won't. Just try not to kill a lot, okay?*

Mint-chip: *You're no fun. Fine.*

Featherwind: *You can kill bad guys, just not innocents, okay?*

Mint-chip: *Fine, but I'm still going to talk with EJ.*

Featherwind: *Fine* I'm getting some strawberries. Anyone else want anything?

Mint-chip: I'm good.

Featherwind: Okay. Ice? You want anything?

Ice-sun: Unless you have human meat, I can't eat anything in there.

Featherwind: Lucky for you, we keep kidneys for when EJ comes over.

Ice-sun: Awesome!

Featherwind: *gets strawberries and kidneys* Here. *gives kidneys* We also have some heart for when I'm in a 'mood'. *noms strawberries*

Ice-sun: Nah. *noms kidneys*

Featherwind: Okay.

Eyeless Jack: *in the distance* IS SOMEONE EATING MY KIDNEYS?!

Featherwind: GET OVER IT EJ!

Mint-chip: *hears a car and looks out the window* They're here.

Featherwind: SQUEE! Nah. I'm kidding. I don't squee. That's my friend.

Mint-chip: Ice, go into the backyard to finish that kidney.

Featherwind: *deadpans* Really, Minty? It's not that weird. Miku hangs out around me. She's seen people eat human organs.

Mint-chip: It's not just her.

Featherwind: He'll be growing up around bizarre people. He's going to have to deal with it. Better he learn how sooner rather than later.

Ice-sun: Who?

Mint-chip: My son, Hiro.

Featherwind: He looks like a cross between Minty and Mikuo-kun. Mikuo-kun's really sweet. So is Hiro. Hiro's like a mini Mikuo! It's so cute! *inner fangirling over "mini Mikuo"*

Mint-chip: It's been so long since I've seen him, I wonder if he even remembers me.

Featherwind: I'm sure he will. *sees Hiro, Miku, and Mikuo walk to the door*

Mint-chip: *opens the door* Hi!

Featherwind: Hi Miku-chan. Hi Mikuo-kun. Hiro! HI! *hugs them*

Ice-sun: *finishes kidney* Hi.

Featherwind: Ice, you haven't met Hiro or Mikuo-kun yet. So, Ice-sun, Mikuo-kun and Hiro. Mikuo-kun and Hiro, Ice-sun. Ice, obviously, has to get along with Hiro. Not so sure about you and Mikuo-kun, though… Oh well!

Ice-sun: *shakes Mikuo's hand* It's nice to meet you.

Mint-chip: Hey there Hiro.

Hiro: Hi dad!

Mint-chip: You're eight now right?

Hiro: Yup. My birthday was two weeks ago.

Mint-chip: Sorry I couldn't be there, I was working.

Hiro: It's fine. At least I can see you now.

Mint-chip: Yeah, I agree.

Martha: *walks through the door* I hate to ruin the touching moment, but I have a score to settle.

Mint-chip: Hiro, take your mother and go upstairs.

Hiro: Yes sir! *grabs Miku and runs upstairs*

Ice-sun: Who do you want to settle a score with?

Martha: Minty of course.

Mint-chip: Why?

Martha: Quit playing dumb, I know that it was you who killed those criminals, and I also know that you're the one who dragged me to that freak in the woods. He took out my goddamned kidney!

Featherwind: *snickers*

Martha: What's so funny? Those criminals were two of my best men.

Featherwind: One: serves you right. Two: you spoke about the kidney you lost as there only being one in your whole body. You have two kidneys.

Martha: Enough talk. *forearms turn into spears* You're all dying.

Featherwind: *arm turns into a chainsaw* Try me.

Martha: *spearheads come out all over her back, arms and legs*

Featherwind: *spinning blades come out of her back, arms, and legs*

Mint-chip: Damn, they look pretty evenly matched.

Martha: *stabs at Featherwind with spear arms*

Featherwind: *blocks with chainsaw arm and slashes at Martha's stomach*

Martha: *dodges Featherwind's attack* Do you really think that you're going to kill me that quickly?

Featherwind: I know you won't go down without a fight. And I would never kill anyone. I would harm, but never kill. What good ever comes of it? Is anything worth someone's life?

Martha: Many things are. Revenge, money, power, I can list two-hundred things. *stabs at Featherwind*

Ice-sun: You are so greedy.

Featherwind: *takes hit on purpose* You're wrong, Martha. That's why alchemists live by the law of equivalent exchange. That's why human transmutation is forbidden. Because what could equal the value of a human soul?

Martha: *smirks* The reason why I kill people… Is that I want power, I kill humans… And I take their souls.

Featherwind: So you're a Kishin egg? No wonder you're so heartless.

Martha: *chuckles*

Featherwind: What? *slashes at Martha*

Martha: *blocks attack* I'm laughing because… I will be the next Kishin. I'm already one step away from it.

Featherwind: *stops attacking, dodging, and blocking* You're willing to kill so many innocent people just for power? Where has the human in you gone? I don't know you well, but I know this isn't the real you.

Martha: It died a long time ago. *stabs Featherwind*

Featherwind: *falls to the ground in pain*

Ice-sun: FEATHERWIND! *grows Bikaku*

Featherwind: I-I'm fine. *gets up*

Martha: I'm sure that you are. *stabs Featherwind again*

Featherwind: *falls back down* I-I'm… *fully collapses*

Ice-sun: I'LL KILL YOU! *stabs at Martha with the tail*

Martha: *dodges attack*

Featherwind: I-Ice… S-she's not worth it.

Ice-sun: What do you mean?! She'll become the next Kishin soon enough!

Featherwind: I mean, don't stoop to her level. If you kill her, then you're just as bad as her.

Martha: You heard her. I'd best be off now, you know, people to kill, Kishin to become, stuff like that. *starts to walk away*

Featherwind: *gets up and runs Martha through her stomach with chainsaw arm* I said that he shouldn't kill you. I never said that I couldn't.

Martha: Clever. I see what you did there. *falls to the ground*

Featherwind: *passes out from blood loss*

Martha: *coughing up blood* I'll be… Back… once I'm a Kishin. *gets up and starts walking to the door*

Ice-sun: YOU'RE NOT LEAVING HERE ALIVE YOU BITCH!

Mint-chip: Ice, it's not worth it. She'll die of blood loss anyways.

Martha: *walks out*

Ice-sun: *runs over to Featherwind* We're going to get you to the hospital.

Featherwind: *can't hear or respond because she's passed out*

-at the hospital-

Ice-sun: Will she be okay?

Doctor: Yes, she probably will be. Just, keep an eye on her and keep her out of fights for a while.

Ice-sun: Thanks doc.

Doctor: I will leave you two be for now. *leaves the room*

Ice-sun: *starts crying* I should have killed her when I had the chance. She's still out there somewhere.

-meanwhile-

Mint-chip: I swear to god, I'll kill her. *puts on mask and starts running*

Martha: Hey there Minty.

Mint-chip: *turns around and stabs at Martha*

Martha: *dodges* Whoa there buddy, I don't want to fight.

Mint-chip: Why are you here?

Martha: I've always liked you the most. Please, join me, we can lead the world to a better tomorrow... together.

Mint-chip: You disgust me. You already know that I have a son that I need to be there for, yet you still want me to go with you. You're sick.

Martha: You think about it. *walks away*

Mint-chip: *walks back home*

-later-

Ice-sun: What?!

Mint-chip: She wants me to help her.

Ice-sun: You refused right?

Mint-chip: Of course I refused! I have a kid to look after for Christ's sake!

Ice-sun: Good. I just don't want you to slip under her control.

Mint-chip: I will never do that.

Featherwind: *groans*

Ice-sun: Don't worry, you're going to be fine.

Mint-chip: I hope so.

Ice-sun: Of course she's going to be fine.

Mint-chip: *chuckles* Whatever you say.

Ice-sun: Prick.

Mint-chip: You wanna go!?

Ice-sun: Maybe I do!

Mint-chip: *punches Ice-sun in the face*

Ice-sun: *kicks Mint-chip in the leg*

Mint-chip: *punches Ice-sun in the stomach so hard that he falls down*

Ice-sun: *coughs up blood*

Mint-chip: I think that settles it.

Featherwind: W-what did I say? No fighting.

Mint-chip: He provoked me.

Ice-sun: Did not!

Featherwind: Don't care. You were fighting.

Mint-chip: *growls* I'm going for a walk. *walks out*

Ice-sun: Good riddance.

Featherwind: *passes out again*

-meanwhile-

Martha: Trust me Jeff, he'll join us.

Jeff the killer: Are you sure?

Martha: One-hundred percent.

Jeff the killer: Okay.

-later-

Mint-chip: *walks back in*

Ice-sun: Where did you go?

Mint-chip: Turn on the news.

Ice-sun: *turns on the TV*

Newscaster: There have been two more murders in the city today. *two pictures of people flash onto the screen* These are the victims, Peter Lark, and Otis Peterson. Both of them were criminals, so the police think that these murders are connected to the murders that happened yesterday. Whoever is killing these criminals must have a sick sense of justice, and they need to be stopped.

Ice-sun: Let me guess, they were Martha's henchmen?

Mint-chip: Yes.

Ice-sun: You must have quite the grudge against her.

Mint-chip: I guess you could say that.

Featherwind: *limps into the room* Hey guys.

Mint-chip: Hi.

Ice-sun: Hi. I guess that the fight with Martha really left you banged up.

Featherwind: Oh, you have no idea. *winces*

Hiro: *walks down the stairs*

Featherwind: Hi Hiro. *sits on the couch and feels stomach* Dang it.

Ice-sun: What's wrong?

Featherwind: The stitches tore. I don't know how, but look. *lifts shirt to show the growing blood stain on her bandage*

Ice-sun: Damn.

Featherwind: And since Dawnleg isn't here, and I can't stitch myself up, one of you needs to. I don't trust EJ enough either.

Mint-chip: I picked up a couple things from Dawnleg, so I'll do it.

Featherwind: Okay. I trust you. *walks into the bathroom and starts to unwrap the bandages*

Ice-sun: Are you sure that you can do it?

Mint-chip: Yes. I'm sure.

Featherwind: I'm really starting to bleed again. Can we get this over with so I don't have to go back to the hospital?

Mint-chip: *does the stitches carefully*

Featherwind: Ow! You should have used anesthetic first.

Mint-chip: Sorry. *finishes stitches*

Featherwind: *puts on fresh bandages* Thanks. *goes back and sits on the couch* I'm good.

Ice-sun: Thank god.

Featherwind: Were you… worried? That's not like you.

Ice-sun: Well, yeah… I was worried.

Featherwind: *giggles* Thanks. It feels better to know that you finally have people that care about you.

Ice-sun: No problem.

Featherwind: *hugs Ice-sun* You guys are awesome. You know that, right?

Ice-sun: Yup.

Mint-chip: Thanks.

Featherwind: Wow, Ice. So modest. *deep fried sarcasm*

Ice-sun: Thank you very much. *also deep fried sarcasm*

Featherwind: Watch it. *Russia aura*

Ice-sun: Sorry.

Featherwind: You are forgiven. *starts quietly singing the Nightcore version of Crawl Carry Me Through* How long will this take? How much can I go through? My heart, my soul aches. I don't know what to do. I bend, but don't break, and somehow I'll get through. Cause I have you. And if I had to crawl, well you'd crawl too. I stumble and I fall, carry me through. The wonder of it all is you. See me through. Oh lord, where are you? Do not forget me here. I cry in silence. Can you not see my tears? When all have left me, and hope has disappeared, you'll find me here. And when I had to crawl, well you'd crawl too. I stumble and I fall, carry me through. The wonder of it all is you. See me through. When everything I was is lost, I have forgot, but you have not. When I am lost, you have not lost everything I was is lost, I have forgot, but you have not. When I am lost, you have not lost me. You have not lost if I had to crawl, well you'd crawl too. I stumble and I fall, carry me through. The wonder of it all is you. See me through. *end of song*

Mint-chip: I'm tired. I'm going to take a nap. *walks to his room and goes to sleep*

-twenty minutes later-

Mint-chip: *after having horrible nightmares he wakes up panting* What the fuck was that?!

Ice-sun: *runs in* What happened?

Mint-chip: It was just a dream.

Featherwind: *from the other room* It can't hurt you. Ever. Dreams are just that. Dreams. Nothing more.

Mint-chip: I know.

Featherwind: Then it shouldn't matter. *limps into the room* As long as you know that, there's nothing to be afraid of.

Dark-moon: Hello everyone!

Mint-chip: What's with the gas-mask?

Featherwind: *hides behind Ice-sun*

Dark-moon: First off, I stopped stalking people a while ago. Secondly, I wear this because I felt like wearing my mask today.

Featherwind: JUST BECAUSE YOU STOPPED STALKING PEOPLE DOESN'T MAKE YOU ANY LESS OF A PERV!

Dark-moon: Whatever.

Ice-sun: I see that you went back to the old look… With the mohawk and stuff.

Featherwind: *steps out from behind Ice-sun* Actually, the mohawk looks pretty cool.

Dark-moon: Thanks. Anyways, onto the reason why I'm here. I've been sent, by Lord Death himself, to kill the one they call Martha, but I need you to do it Ice.

Featherwind: Why Ice? I mean, I obviously can't, but why Ice?

Dark-moon: He's my partner, and apparently, my soul isn't compatible with anyone elses, and Stein doesn't want to work with me.

Featherwind: *mutters to Ice-sun* I can see why. *stops mumbling* Fair reasons.

Ice-sun: I'll help you. I wanted to kill her anyways.

Featherwind: So she's not dead even after I ran her through with my working chainsaw for an arm? How can someone survive a chainsaw through their stomach?!

Dark-moon: What you didn't know is that she took many poisons, and drank a lot of blended plants. Also, she's about twenty human souls away from being the next Kishin.

Featherwind: It was a chainsaw through her abdomen. NO ONE CAN SURVIVE THAT! NOT EVEN A KISHIN EGG!

Dark-moon: I don't know.

Featherwind: I'm going to go change my bandages. No one go into my room. *walks away*

Ice-sun: I know how she survived.

Dark-moon: How?

Ice-sun: She was a mad scientist's daughter. This man was a very cruel person. He was always thinking of new ways to try to make an immortal being. Martha was the only successful experiment. There are ways to kill her though, such as blood loss.

Featherwind: *yells from her room* DANG IT!

Ice-sun: WHAT?!

Featherwind: THE STITCHES TORE AGAIN! AND I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH ANY OF YOU COMING IN HERE! I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING TO RIP THEM!

Mint-chip: Well then…

Ice-sun: I'M COMING UP!

Featherwind: DID YOU NOT HEAR ME SAY THAT I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH ANY OF YOU COMING IN?!

Ice-sun: WELL IF I CAN'T COME IN YOU HAVE TO DO THEM YOURSELF!

Featherwind: I CAN'T! TO DO SO, I WOULD HAVE TO BEND OVER, MAKING THE BLEEDING WORSE THAN IT ALREADY IS!

Mint-chip: WELL THEN YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR DAWNLEG!

Featherwind: I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH HER COMING IN EITHER!

Ice-sun: WHAT DO YOU HAVE UP THERE THAT YOU'RE BEING SO SECRETIVE ABOUT?!

Featherwind: NOTHING! I'M JUST NOT WEARING ANYTHING ON THE UPPER HALF OF MY BODY! I HAVE TO DO THAT TO CHANGE THE BANDAGES!

Ice-sun: WELL THERE'S NOTHING THAT WE CAN DO THEN!

Featherwind: WHO'S LEAST LIKELY TO BE A PERV?!

Ice-sun: PROBABLY ME!

Featherwind: FINE! ICE AND ONLY ICE CAN COME UP!

Ice-sun: *walks up the stairs into Featherwind's room*

Mint-chip: GOOD LUCK ICE!

Featherwind: Now help me then get out.

Ice-sun: Okay geez. *stitches up the wound*

Featherwind: Sorry. No one's seen me shirtless before. Ow! You forgot the anesthetic.

Ice-sun: Sorry.

Featherwind: It's fine. *winces*

Ice-sun: *finishes stitching* Okay, see ya. *walks out*

Featherwind: At least he wasn't a perv. *puts on bandages and fresh shirt and walks out* Thanks Ice.

Ice-sun: Dark and I are leaving now. Bye!

Featherwind: Good luck. *hugs Ice-sun* I still don't trust that Dark isn't a perv. *glares at Dark-moon*

Dark-moon: Trust me, I'm not.

Featherwind: Hm… Nope! Still don't trust you! Bye. *lets go of Ice-sun*

Dark-moon and Ice-sun: *leaves*

Dark-moon: Do you know my real name?

Ice-sun: I didn't even know that you had a different name.

Dark-moon: You and Minty do as well. Mine is Dennis.

Ice-sun: What's mine?

Dark-moon: Luke, and Minty's is Joe.

Ice-sun: Luke, I like it.

Dark-moon: That's what I thought you would say. *calls Mint-chip*

Mint-chip: Hello?

Dark-moon: Did you know that you had a real name?

Mint-chip: No.

Featherwind: *in the background* What'cha talkin' about?

Dark-moon: Your real name is Joe, and Ice's is Luke.

Mint-chip: Cool.

Dark-moon: Bye. *hangs up*

Featherwind: What's cool? I wanna know!

Mint-chip: My real name is Joe.

Featherwind: That is cool. I have a real name. I just don't like it.

Mint-chip: What is it?

Featherwind: It's Kat. I know, it's a stupid name. I've been told that before.

Mint-chip: I think that it's cool. God, I sound like Soul.

Featherwind: Thanks. And yes. Yes you do.

Mint-chip: Hate that guy. He's such a slacker.

Featherwind: While that may be true, he's a nice guy once you get to know him.

Mint-chip: He hates me too.

Featherwind: Oh…

-with Ice-sun and Dark-moon-

Ice-sun: *sees Martha* There she is.

Dark-moon: Okay. *transforms*

Ice-sun: *grabs Dark-moon* Let's do this. *sneaks up behind Martha and swings Dark-moon at her*

Martha: *dodges and starts to run* You'll never take me alive suckas!
