So if things take a while to update, im sorry, im doing my best, but im currently in a state of mass chaos and depression.
On a lighter note a good friend of mine made an awesome pic of Jet and Masky for me! Have a look favourites/?offset=24#/d5cv17h
Chapter 44
High above the planet Earth strands of multicolored energy began to gather, quickly they wound round and around themselves shooting across space. Then with a loud crackle they began to draw apart from each other, forming a vague circular shape of dark empty space with only the multicolored strands of space and technology bordering it and demonstrating it was any different from the emptiness of space.
Then out from the portal, a sleek black space craft slipped through. It had a few lights sparkling near its cockpit, and its engines produced a blue hue from the energy burn.
The ship's rockets ignited and it shot away from the portal it had emerged from, and headed towards Earth.
Onboard, Vanessa sat in the captain's chair, one leg crossed over her knee, her eyes seemed to narrow slightly as she locked onto the blue and green planet that loomed into view.
"Earth." She said rising from her seat and walking towards the console that was in-between the two control panels that Victor and Trent were seated at. The two boys swiveled in their chairs to regard their mistress as she stalked towards the console.
"It is here we will finish the hunt." She announced to the two as she tapped the console a map appearing on the viewing window in front of them. "There are only 6 possible land masses to look into, and we've already narrowed it down to-" There was a pause as she tapped some more at the console, and then looked up. On screen Africa, and Australia faded away leaving South America, North America, Europe and Asia highlighted. "Four land masses."
"And we've ruled out a few specific locations." Trent offered shifting backwards a little when Vanessa turned to focus on him. Swallowing he said, "He has to be somewhere out of the way, no populated cities, or crowded areas." He said fidgeting with his hands a little
Vanessa smiled and gave him a nod of approval before turning back to the console to input this data. Once he was freed of her piercing gaze, Trent sank into his seat letting out the breath he'd been holding, rubbing his hands together.
There was a soft ping as the large city areas and largely populous areas faded away on screen.
"Well. That narrows it down some." Victor mused folding his arms across his chest. "Though South America is noticeably less populated."
Vanessa nodded. "Yes, but I don't think he's hiding out there Victor," Victor turned away from the screen to look up at Vanessa who was tapping her chin lightly as she thought. "I just have a feeling he's hiding somewhere in the other three." She said manipulating the console to highlight America, Europe and Asia.
Trent nodded. "your instincts concerning the hunt have never been wrong my mistress." He said bowing his head. Vanessa chuckled and then glanced to Victor who was considering the map. He fidgeted in his seat for a bit before looking up to meet her eyes, and then quickly avert them.
Vanessa narrowed her eyes. "Do you have something you wish to say, Victor? You might as well spit it out, you've proven yourself too useful to kill for a slip of the tongue." She said. "So speak boy."
Victor didn't look up but said in a small quiet voice. "W-with all due respect milady, this Masquerade fellow is a trickster, and I do not think we should rule out… Any potential places just yet." Victor said haltingly.
Vanessa frowned as Trent rose from his seat and glared daggers at Victor his eyes holding a glint of fear as he glanced towards his mistress. "How dare you doubt the mistress in such a way! She is the wisest of all the hunters her instincts are never-" Vanessa stamped her foot and the two boys jumped snapping their gazes to Vanessa.
"Victor, I do not have time to search every nook and cranny of the Earth for him, if that is what it comes down to LATER so be it, I will search in the deepest pits, and the highest peaks to find my prey. But time is short, but, if you wish to be foolish, you may go on ahead." Vanessa said as she began typing into the console a tube emerging from the floor behind Vanessa, a glass door popping open. "We will dump you on Earth, in this 'South America' and you will search for information, or whatever advantage you can get us, before Trent and I find a place to land the craft." She said as she punched in the coordinates. "You will start here." A pointer mark appeared on the main screen in the middle of a large forested area. "From there, head towards population or anyone who might know anything." Vanessa said tapping the console to enlarge the image. "There are two villages and one city near that forest, and for a hunter with your experience locating them should be no problem."
Victor nodded once rising from his seat and heading towards the tube. He ascended the stairs up to where Vanessa stood. He bowed his head to her before walking past, licking his lips slightly.
Just as he was about to pass her by, Vanessa shot out her hand and grasped Victor's shoulder tightly. The boy let out a cry that turned into a screech of agony as Vanessa's claws unsheathed the metal digging deep into his flesh. He grabbed at his arm and Vanessa released him allowing him to drop to the floor, blood oozing from the cut.
Vanessa examined her claw blood dripping from the razor sharp points. "Should you fail to bring me anything useful, your insolence will be punished, you do not question my wisdom." She snarled her baring her teeth her sharp canines glinting like fangs. "Understood?" She said stepping back from the shaking boy sheathing her claw.
The boy vigorously jerked his head up and down as he rose to his feet, smoothing out the wrinkles in his clothes before pulling out a pocket knife. He flipped up the blade, placing the sharp edge at the end of his green shirt that was peeking out under his black jacket, tearing off a bit. "Yes ma'am, I'll start right away ma'am." He mumbled as he slid off his jacket, rolled up his sleeve and wrapped the green fabric around his wound securing it tightly. Then he slid his jacket back on, turning to look at Vanessa in case she had further instructions.
"You will have approximately 24 hours to produce results," Vanessa ordered deactivating the console and waving away the screen that had appeared in the middle of the window, empty space replacing the computer screen.
Victor nodded slightly gritting his teeth, forcing his lips up into a grin he said. "Plenty of time." He forced out. "I'll have info on Masquerade before you can say "Docorrus!" He said before he walked into the tube, he turned around to look at his mistress and Trent once more as the glass door automatically closed, locking him into the tube.
Vanessa nodded to Trent who turned back to his computer and began entering the data into it, the tube began to emit a soft whirring sound. Victor looked up to see multicolor energy gather above his head.
"Transfer sequence initiated," Trent announced. "Transferring Victor right… Now!" He said turning in his chair to look back at Victor as the multicolored energy filled the tube, the tube lighting up with the energy transfer until it died down, with Victor no longer present inside.
Vanessa smirked. "Alright, now that that's done, plot a course to Earth, find my ship a good resting spot Trent, and take all the time that you need."
"Yes milady." Was the reply as the ship's main thrusters came online blue flames erupting from them and the ship took off across the sky. When the ship circled the planet once a thin blue beam of light erupting from the underside of the craft scanning the planet for a suitable and hidden place to land.

The first thing Mike picked up on upon stirring from his slumber; was the heavy weight that was pressing down on his right shoulder. Mike gave a soft groan as he opened his eyes, his vision bleary from sleep. He blinked a few times glancing around wondering where he was. It was dark outside, and every so often a beam of light from the street lamps above the expressway they were on would bathe the inside of the car with amber light.
The weight however still existed on his shoulder. Mike glanced to the side and cringed back when he saw Tyler's face inches from his own. The messy blond haired boy was asleep, and using his shoulder as a pillow.
"Tyler! Get off me!" Mike hissed furiously shifting and shrugging his shoulder to try and dislodge him. When that didn't work Mike turned to the side Tyler's head dropping from his shoulder as Mike pushed the other boys torso onto the other side of the car.
"Snrk preetttyyy, fire, dancing, so preeetttyyy." Tyler droned in his seat his head banging against the window on his side slightly his body shifting towards the right, and away from Mike. A bit of drool dribbled out of Tyler's mouth as he said. "Oh more… More pretty, oranges, blues, red,"
Mike rolled his eyes as he shook his head, setting his elbow against the edge of his window and resting his head in his hand, watching the cars on the other side of the expressway go by.
"Oh well, at least the lights mean we're getting close." Mike mused to himself, as his eyes slide closed and he drifted off once more.

A/N not my best ending but i was in the middle of homework when i cranked out this update and my brain was like "okay out to lunch now!" And then i was off to play Fusionfall.
Anyways, im sorry this chapter wasnt my best, just working to get bakc into it however.
I have an interesting idea.
In the spirit of halloween and in celebration of me being here for 3 years now, i am going to write a fanfic staring my six OC's (Jet, Aidan, Mike, Tyler, Alica and Viki) as well as the BBB. However, they are horror/scary stories.
So i have three ideas planned out: And ill allow you guys to decide which one i write first:
A dark love story starring Jet and Masky
The ultimate betrayal starring Aidan and Marucho and also features Shun.
Or
'Friendship" starring Mike, Julie, and Billy and potentially a few others.
So vote for which one you guys want first or submit your idea for a good scary story.
Thanks guys and i hope to see ya soon!
