Chapter 27
Back in Xacron, in the hospital. In the critical patient area. It was under code red. Jayden had acted quickly in bring Aerith back here. Aerith was currently in a medical healing pod in a baby blue hospital gown. She was currently in a deep coma and had so much blood loss. Zach was frowning at her in the medical pod "Oh my sweet granddaughter… I'm sorry…" Julian patted his shoulder "It will be alright…" Zach frowned "and all of the times for Jess to just disappear with Elvira… I had a figure she would go find Oichi… the boys are so worried about her and now Aerith…. How is Jayden doing?" Julian frowns "He's in waiting room with his brothers… he's really shaken up…"
In the waiting room Jayden was on the floor tearing hugging his knees, Ayden and Kaleb were snuggling up to him. Ebony, Klaus and Bella came rushing in and their eyes widen and rushed over "Ayden… any news on how she's doing?" Ebony asked. Ayden frowned "In a coma…." Klaus growled "Damn that witch for doing this to my sister!" Bella frowned and turned to see Ross rush in with Azaya and Kaci. Bella blinked "where's Hannibal and Kalena?" Kaci sighs softly "my mother is watching them… where is Aerith…?" "In the back in a healing pod… she's in a coma…." Kaci's eyes widen and look at Ross who looked pissed off. He then sighs. "Coma or not…she's back home safe…" He looked at Jayden. "You did good in finding her in time. Don't beat yourself over it to much."
Azaya frowned "Aerith… how this happen to her… that dark witch used her for what?" Jayden frowned "some kind of ritual to unseal a blood god…?" Kaci's eyes widen "Blood god… you mean…?" "Yes that blood god" they turn to Zach who walked over Ross bites his lip "How did they find out about him? Didn't your family destroy any evidence of him?" Zach frowns "It seems she somehow found some.. that slipped through out fingers" Jayden stood up and bites his lip "Tell us about this blood god!"
Zach sighs and nodded "the blood god, Luther. Brother of Selena and believe it or not ex lover to her also. They are both mother and father of all whole vampire race…. Luther became dark and twisted, with his divine vampire powers he manipulated Dracula…. Sense he and us kings can turn humans into vampires. He had Dracula made a human vampire army back in ancient times which caused a virus with in the vampire history… has you know from fiction and myth, undead vampires… like zombies it became out of control and we kings end to fix it with Dracula's help. Selena before she was sealed away gave us a job in sealing him away. Meyers and the Ruska family sealed him and by my bloodline unwilling could unseal him… that's why she used Aerith… because she is a Royal Meyers Vampire princess.." Their eyes widen at what he said. Klaus frowned "Where mom…" Ebony looked down Ayden stepped over to her and held her has she teared.
Bella sniffed "Aerith…." Julian steps out "alright… where's rick and Chida?" Zach frowns "I'll go get them for the blood transfusion" he rushes off.
Ross sat down frowning then his eyes widen, Kaci looked at him "Hun what's wrong. Azaya's eyes widen also and looked Ross "papa did you sense that…? A demon being reborn.. why do I sense it?" Kaci eyes widen at this. "A demon was reborn?" Jayden's eyes widen and his head shut up fast 'no…..' his brothers looked at him with a worried look.
In the mountains, Terry was looking around the area. It was fixed from the attack where Dorian had attacked. He sighs not understand what he was looking for when a scent caught his nose. He ran off the mountain path and slide down a side path and came to a stop when he saw bodies. Checking on them he notice they were drained dry of their blood. Frowning he followed the bodies until a sword came out nearly cutting his head off. He ducks and rolls out the way. Sliding on his knees, he turned to see Cassandra walking out of the bushes. She smirked licking the blood off her lips. "We meet again young cub." Terry narrows his eyes. "Last time I stabbed this sword through your chest…this time I take your head." "You can try but I'm different from the kid you faced back then." Cassandra smirked deadly. "Let's find out then."
At Phoenix's hideout, in a Asturias old room. Paimon laid on the bed still in a deep sleep from being rescued. A slight flutter of his eye lids, his eyes snapped open. And sat up with a gasp, he frowned looking around 'where.. aim I?'
Getting off the bed he wobbled slightly hearing the door opened a wolf walked in "of good your up come with me demon" Paimon frowned "how dare you disrespect me, do you have any idea who am I?!" the wolf raised his eyebrow and sighed and lifted up a remote and a shock went through Paimon from a collar around his neck he never noticed. He screamed and fell to the ground "know follow me" Paimon panted has Oliver stepped in and grinned "Oh the great general Paimon, get up" Paimon got up has Oliver pushed him out the door "It's time see Mistress Phoenix" Paimon's eyes widen 'the dark witch…?'
In the mountains, Cassandra was pushed back by Terry's swinging tail. He snarls at her in his hybrid form. Training with his dad he learned he could transform parts of his body into his dragon parts. He currently had dragon scales on his arms and hands. His tail was out and smacked the ground. "You little mutt…" Cassandra growls out. "I told you that this will he different. Now lay down your sword unless you want to get hurt." Cassandra glared at him and smirked. "Are you really going to hurt this body? Your Queens former husband?" Terry narrowed his eyes and smirked. "Yes I am." He rushed her and hit her hard in the stomach knocking the wind out of her. She dropped to her knees holding her stomach. "You think I care about who's body your in? Sakamoto and me sparred a lot so I know just how much his body can take!" He uppercut Cassandra forcing her body up in mid air. Then grabbed his ankle and slammed it in the ground as hard as he could creating a giant crater, knocking her out. He chuckled. "I win this time. Rex quickly, take me to the prison cells." "Understood…" Rex says.
Paimon was pushed into a throne room, there was wolf guards lined up by the wall. Paimon frowned looked at the front of the room. He can see Phoenix in a Black tulle lace long lace dress and black crystal crown on her head. he saw Xavier in a royal extraordinary gothic suit next to Phoenix.
Paimon was pushed closer and then pushed down on his knees, Paimon narrowed at her and Xavier. Phoenix chuckled "Welcome to my home Paimon" Paimon bites his lip "Why did you rescue me and then treat me like this?!" Xavier narrowed "Don't you speak to my beloved into from of with such disrespect…" Phoenix chuckles "It's alright love.. well Paimon the reason why is because your son asked me to help you and I agreed" Paimon's eyes widen "my son…. Rave…? So he did join you… he disrespected our lord…. How dare he" everyone chuckled making him frown looking around confused "Oh you've been out for awhile and I cut your ties to hell before I was taken over and destroyed" Paimon's eyes widen "wait what…?!" Xavier laughed "Lucifer was defeated by his first son, the anti christ. He is know king of hell"
Paimon had a shocked look on his face "Also, it seems we have found out about a certain someone that has been forgotten even by you" Phoenix chuckled making him look at her weirdly "What are you talking about?" Phoenix chuckled "oh come on have you forgotten about your first born? The one that fell in love with Archangel Michael's only daughter, Alexandria?" Paimon's eyes widen at her "No… it can't be…."
the doors open, his body froze feeling a demonic aura he hasn't felt in forever. Turning around slightly he see's Ascelin and Rave walk towards. Ascelin had a grin on his face "Hello father" Paimon gulped "Ascelin…" Ascelin then narrowed at him "I should kill you for what you did…. I saw you that night… you let Michael kill me" Paimon's eyes widen at him "Ascelin…. You don't understand!" Ascelin growled "WHAT?! WHAT DON'T I UNDERSTAND?!" he moved quickly grabbing Paimon's neck making him gasp "S-Son…!" Ascelin growled deeply "you just couldn't stand me being with an angel because you felt like it would disgrace your family so you let Michael kill me that night! I fought for you through three demon and angels wars! I was praise by Lucifer and you let me die because I was in love!" Paimon was gasping.
Phoenix chuckled "enough know" Ascelin growled letting him go, come brother" Rave blinked and nodded following Ascelin out of the room. Phoenix chuckled "Know Paimon, will you serve me or should I hand you over to the king of hell?" Paimon bites his lip rubbing his neck "I'll serve you…. Let me kill that disgrace" Phoenix and Xavier laughed "you wish to face off with Azaya? No, she is the anti Christ's niece and he would kill you if you bother her, I have a mission for you Paimon. Our new lovely blood god needs fresh food. He requests fair maiden's so go and fetch beauty virgins for him to eat" Paimon frowned Fine whatever…." Phoenix chuckled at him.
Mikey was running to the prison cells with guards behind him. He heard that Terry had captured Cassandra. Seth was contacted quickly with his parents. Terra was going to stay behind with Grayson. Opening the doors to the prison chambers, Cassandra was cuffed and tied down. Terry was standing in front of her as the guards changed her clothes to the prison attire. "Ter. You okay!?" Mikey asked. Terry chuckled. "I'm fine. It wasn't that hard. She was already low on power. She had been feeding on some people but I know Sakamoto's body. He rarely drank certain types of blood." Mikey nods. "So his body must have rejected it and it didn't recover." Terry nods. "For once, I'm glad he was a picky person."
Cassandra's eyes snapped opened right as the guards finished dressing her. "I'll kill you!" She snapped standing up. The guards held her down. "Unhand me!" She struggles. "Toss her in the cell and I want security so tight that not even a fly can get through!" Terry says. The guards nodded and dragged Cassandra to her cell. "Let me go! I'll rip your throat out! I'll tear you limb from limb! I'll destroy you!" She yelled. Terry rolled his eyes and turned to Mikey. "Any word on Oichi yet?" Mikey shook his head. Terry sighs. "Alright…what now?" "We let Seth decided what to do for now. Until Oichi gets back all decisions of the council runs through him." Terry nods. "Then I'm going to scout around. If Cassandra got here then who knows what else could have came." Mikey nods. "Be careful out there."
In China up in the monkey kings mountains, Jess was in the hot spring in a sage green bikini. Elvira was in her room fast asleep and when she cries a monkey servant would attend to her. Jess leaned back and hummed softly "This feels nice… it's so relaxing up here"
Sun was walking by with a yawn when he stops. "Oh…your still here…" Jess looks up at him "How is Oichi doing? Is it possible for me to visit her?" Sun hums out. "Well…Lady Oichi's will be out for about a week. She has to bathe in the natural spring healing water." He then sighs and put his arms around his head. "I can't very well have you stay here for a week so I will permit you to see her for a moment while her body is cleansed." A young woman walked up holding a towel. "Dry yourself off and Cee will show you to Oichi's cabin." Cee bows slightly. Jess chuckled "alright" Jess gets out and dry's herself off and put her Maxi Bohemian Style Deep V Neck Backless Long green Dress and put her sandals on "Alright Cee you can show me know"
Cee nods and leads her towards the back. Jess could see monkeys staring at her with caution. Reaching the cabin, she smell of peaches ran passed her nose making her hum out. Cee giggled slightly. "I see you like the aroma here. It helps with the relaxing atmosphere. Master Sun has been very cheerful all day welcoming the little ones. They have to be bathe in the springs as well. They should be with Lady Oichi and Lord Orochi." Jess giggles "I love peaches"
Walking to the door Cee opened it. A strong brush of a sweet scent hit Jess like a gust of wind. Her face became very flushed and her body started to heat up quickly. Cee quickly gasps and covers her body in a thin barrier to keep the smell from being to strong. "I'm so sorry! I should have warned you! The smell here can cause a strong aphrodisiac effect." Jess's eyes widen "really…?"
She then heard crying. Cee smiles. "The twins are awake." Jess followed Cee to a smaller room and saw Orochi wearing nothing but a pair of pants. His hair was in a long ponytail and he had a small on his face looking down at the crib. Jess smiled brightly "Orochi" Jess stepped over sitting down next to him "May I hold one?" Orochi's smile disappear and sighs. "Fine." Jess looked down at the twins. "Did she pick names yet?" "Emma and Jasper." Hearing their names the twins looked at him making him chuckle slightly. Their wolf ears twitched before looking at Jess. Emma's eyed widen slightly and sparkles at her. She looked just about identical to Grace. Jasper blinks at her but then turned back to Orochi. Jess chucked "awww their so cute" she gently reaches down and picked up Emma "hello little Emma"
Emma smiled. Jess then felt a strong presence wrap around her. It felt like someone was hugging her. Emma's eyes light up for a moment. "Thank you…" She heard a soft whisper in her ear before the light in Emma's eyes disappeared. Tears came down Jess's, Orochi rolled his eyes. "Yeah ok…" Cee walks back in. "Lady Jess? Lady Oichi is this way." Jess nods and places Emma back in the crib. She reached down and rubbed Jasper's cheek making his eyes close and his ears flicker. She chuckled before following Cee.
In the room right next to the twins, Cee opened the door and let Jess in. Jess saw Oichi laying on the bed wearing a vintage pale pink dress. Her hair was out and curly it had gotten very long. Her eyes widen slightly to see Deerward also in the room in his adult form. He was sitting in a chair next to the bed with a soft expression on his face. He looked up. Jess stepped over "I know, I'm thinking of returning back to Xacron… I've been feeling something happen and I need to go back…. Please let me know when she wakes up please" "Of course…"
Jess smiled and grabbed Oichi's hand. "Wake up soon sis. I'll be back." Manon came in with Elvira fussing. Jess chuckled and gently took her "Thank you. Manon please take me home" he chuckled "Of course my queen" with a light they teleported away.
Deerward sighs and looked at Oichi. "I wonder how she will react when she learns that her hair will now be a permanent purple color…" Sun walked in holding Jasper. "Is she gone?" Deerward nods. "Great, I'll get the twins ready for their soak." Deerward looked at Jasper. "Don't worry. With hell being taken over the curse could be changed now?" Sun says. "Who knows…fate is tricky, and it has never been in favor for Oichi. Many of Lucifer's deeds have been undone but some remain intact. We can only wait and see."
In the waiting room, everyone was still looming around. Azaya was sitting on the floor with Hannibal on her lap. Kaci was leaning against Ross asleep. Kalena was in still with Delica and Adrian, Luna and Miles were here from Grivida. Rick and Chida sat next to each other worried about Jess and Aerith. Jayden had not moved form his spot, Ayden and Ebony was cuddling and Kaleb was sitting with the twins.
Feeling something they all look up to see Jess with Elvira, their eyes widen at her sudden appearance. Jess blinked at them "Why you all huddled up?" Rick and Chida frown, Rick stood up with an upset look "Where did you go?!" Jess frowned "To China to see Oichi… what's wrong?" Rick frowned "Jess… come with me and Chida to the other room" Jess blinked Klaus stepped over "Mom let me take my little baby sister" Jess nodded handing Elvira over has she dragged away by Rick and Chida.
Seth was walking to the prison with Thalia and Oberon behind him. "My son, please don't do this…" Thalia says. "You are still very weak." She says with a worried voice. Seth said nothing as the guards opened the prison doors. Mikey was still there waiting. Cassandra was in a cell sitting on the floor. She had hit the cell a couple of times and got shocked. "Open the cell." Seth demanded. Mikey sighs. "Rex open cell 9." The door opened. Seth walked in with anger in his eyes. "For once I am glad that you are in my grandson's body. I feel less bad for doing this." Cassandra smirked and was about to say something cheeky when Seth stopped her by punching her in the face. She gasps as she was pushed back into the wall. The cage shocked her making her scream out in pain. She fell down twitching. Seth held his chest and dropped to a knee.
"Seth!" Thalia calls out. Oberon walks to him and helps him up. "You still need rest son…" Seth ignored him. His emotions were a wreak. He hasn't been this way since his wife died. Cassandra sat up with a large bruise on her cheek.
"How could you…" Seth says. Cassandra frowns. "How could you kill your own mother and strip her and my child away from me! Do you hate me that much Cass!" Cassandra glared at him. "I do…but not as much as I hated her. She was weak and ever since you married her you lost focus. We could have killed everything that stood in our way! Wipe out the rest of vampires that stood in our path but no! She made you peaceful SHE destroyed what you had trained us to do! She was a pathetic wife and useless mother! I should have killed sooner!" Seth felt his anger boil. It was a good thing that his powers didn't fully return, or he truly would have killed her.
"That's enough Seth." Oberon says. "We can't change what happened…you have Terra and Grayson to think about now." Cassandra frowned. "Ha, the bitch lived. Lucky. I should have taken her head and put on a platter for you then carve that baby out of her belly." "Enough!" Oberon says with such power and authority in his voice. It made Cassandra shake. Oberon helped Seth out of the cell and Mikey closed the doors. Seth covered his face shaking. "What have I done…I did this…I created this…her…" Thalia frowned and hugged Seth. "No, you trained your sons the same way and after you made peace, they followed suit. She was the only one who couldn't adapt to these times. You are not at fault for her choices. Hilda would agree with me…" Oberon sighs looking at Cassandra. "I will contact Dracula…I don't think we will gain anything from talking to her. She has disrespect Sakamoto's body enough. I shall be back." He says leaving.
Everyone in the waiting looked at the room that Rick and Chida took Jess too. They could feel something powerful from that room. Ross got up waking Kaci "Ross?" "Jess is back and the twins are tell her everything" Kaci's eyes widen then the door burst open and Jess dashed off down the hall. Rick and Chida stepped out "She's not… happy…" Kaci frowned "No one would be happy…" then Zach was dragging Jess back out the waiting room making her scream "Let me back there to see her!"
Zach held her shoulder still "Jessica Lightning Mikcloud Meyers!" her eyes widen "You will stay calm do you understand?" Jess frowned and nodded with tears down her eyes "Now I will take you back to that room and you will be calm…" she nodded. Zach looked at the others "it's alright everyone, why don't you go ahead and head home" Klaus frowned "why? I should.." Naomi took his hands "It's alright Klaus" Klaus frowned but nodded. Ebony looked at Ayden "Why don't we go visit Shamir." "Yeah…"
Ross looked at Kaci who took Hannibal "Lets head home" he opened a portal "Azaya inside the portal now" she frowned and stomped into the portal. Kaci sighs following Azaya with Hannibal.
In Bern, using her magic Valeriea had already rebuilt her manor and was back in it. She sighs. "It seems Lady Phoenix has forgotten our deal." She looked down at her hands and frowned. It was hard to tell but she could feel her magic slowly leaving. She walked into her room to see Marik laying on the bed sleep and naked. She couldn't help but to chuckle seeing his face so relax. 'Hmm…maybe…' She walked over to him and nudged him a bit. Marik opens one eye. "Hello my dear. Are you finished with your tasks for today?" Valeriea shook her head. "No, but…I have thought about your proposal." Marik sat up. "You have?" Valeriea nods. "I will become your beloved…" Marik smiles and pulls her into a hug making her gasps. He embraced her tightly and it made something in her chest tighter. He let her go. "I will make you happy my love." He grabbed her hands. "Your time as a witch is nearly done anyways. You will be completely human, but I can make you into a demon. You can cast that side of you away and be my queen."
Valeriea almost…almost…smiled but shook her head fighting her instincts. "I agree to be your wife but there is something I want you to do for me first before that happens." "Anything. Name it." "I know you plan to make some kind of…alliance…with the wolf pup but before that. I want you to help me collect souls. Enough to lure the reaper here." Marik smirked. "Oh? I can do that for you, my love." "Are you sure…my plans are to use the boy." Marik frowns and sighs. "I see…I rather you not go that far…but if you do, he will be broken…" "I know." Valeriea grabbed Marik's cheeks. "But I also know that you will give him a home after I am gone." Marik looked at her sadly. "Val…" "Against all odds I do see him as my dear son but, I will do what I must to finish my last goal. You do not…you will not…be a part of it. You need to keep your slate clean with the wolf cub…" Marik sighs. "You confuse me, but I love it. Very well…I will help you in this last goal and leave you be. I need to be in hell anyways. It is time to call forth my people and create my new rule." He pulled her down on top of her. "But before that. I will cherish you." He kissed her deeply making her hum out.
The next morning, Dracula and Selena were guided through the prison in Xacron by a guard. Reaching the cell block area, the guard open the door letting Dracula and Selena walk in. Seth and his family turned to see them walk over, they bowed to him and Selena "Lord Dracula, Lady Selena" Dracula smiled softly at them "King Seth, let me see her."
They nodded and the cell door open for him. Dracula stepped inside the cell and started at her "Cassandra" "Worthless bag of vampire trash. What can I do for you this fine morning…" She says rolling her eyes. Dracula's eyes widen and turned bright red has she was flung out of the bed and on knee screaming in pain. Seth, Oberon and Thaila eyes widen. Thaila was about to move when Selena touched her should "it's alright"
"You dare talk back to me Cassandra? Your Emperor?" he darkly hissed out. "Answer me!" he shouted has her body went down on the floor bowing down before him. "You are NO Emperor to me! You should have stayed where you belong!" She yelled at him.
"You have possessed this body long enough, time for you to get out of this body once and for all" Dracula says. "Hahahaha! Letting your bitch do the dirty work! So like you, your pathetic just let everyone else!" Cassandra says laughing.
Dracula stepped back out of the cell has Selena was right in front of her. Selena's nails touched her forehead. Her eyes turned glowing red "I shell take your soul, you have had Sakamoto for long enough" "And I enjoyed every bit of it worthless deity." Cassandra says smirking.
Sakamoto's eyes went wide then empty, Selena pulled her hand back has they see a red vampiric soul being pulled out of Sakamoto's forehead. Selena holding the soul "soul collected" she said has Sakamoto's body went thud on the ground.
Seth sighs as Thalia rubbed his back. "It was for the best my son…now…let's get Sakamoto's body cleaned up and placed where it belongs. When Oichi returns she will surely be glad to know his body is back…" Seth frowns tearing up. It pain him to see his daughter this way. "Oh my dear boy…" She hugs him. Oberon rubbed his back. "It's not an easy thing to see your child so corrupted like that but we are here for you son." Selena breathes softly "I'll let you know once I make a new body for her" she says walking away with Dracula following her.
A week went by and there was still no word from Oichi. The council was in a meeting talking about the events that had passed. So far no one outside of the family knew Oichi was gone, and they kept it that way.
In Mikey's lab he was working through Rex's system's. He had notice that he had been short circuiting out which shouldn't happen. "Hmm…there are strange waves coming from under the sea…but why are they messing with Rex?" Zane walked in with paperwork. "Hey bro…I'm back." He walked up to him. "It seems like there is a blank spot under the island. We were unable to get close with the drone." Mikey sighs. "Alright then we go in personality. Get your wet suit ready and contact Michi. I'm gonna need her with me on this." Zane nods and leaves. "Rex? Can you hear me?" Rex appeared beside him fizzing out. "E-Error…m-m-m-my codes are n-n-ot responding…" "I know. So, I need you to…" Rex started to shake. "G-Going into shut down mode…" His body dispersed into his nano bots, and they fell to the floor. "Oh, good grief…" Mikey says as Rex's system shuts down. "Niko. Back up." "Aye!" Niko says chiming in. "Collect some of Rex's nano bots, we are leaving for an underwater trip." "Understood!" Niko says.
At the Ravenswood cemetery, Ascelin wearing red plaid shirt with black leather jacket over it and men's skinny jeans and converse. It was a chill summer day. He was standing in front of Alexandria grave. He frowned "Alex…" he knelled down placing a red rose down "I will come to see you right know, I promise we will be together again, get the time that was taken from us… both our parents let me die that day and left your to suffer has a human on earth…." he said standing up and walked through the demon portal 'be ready for my Jayden, I will see if you are worthy for her'
In China, on the mountain, Oichi's eyes fluttered open. She blinks and turns her head to see Deerward sitting in the chair beside her. He smiled. "Hello Oichi." "Lord…Deerward? Where am I?" She says softly. "In China. After you were stabbed you were brought here to give birth. Then Orochi's toxins affected your body so you had to be cleansed here." "What? Toxins?" "Don't worry about that. You are okay and so are your children. Orochi has been taking good care of them." Oichi smiles. "I see…I feel really light." He chuckled. "You should. Your skin is really smooth from bathing in the springs. Instead of you smelling like honey you now smell like peaches." Oichi giggled. "How exotic. "Yes as well your hair…it's now permanent purple." Oichi looks at her hair and notice it was nearly down to her thighs. "Oh my…"
She then frowned. "…In my sleep…you told me what was happening to Aerith…" "Yes, she is currently in a coma." Oichi frowned. "Dark witches…why must they cause pain and suffering to others…" She closed her eyes just as the door opens. Orochi walked in with both the twins. Oichi opened her eyes. "Hi…" He smiled lovingly at her. It made her heart skip a bit. "Hi…" Deerward helped her sit up. Orochi sat on the bed and handed her the twins who were awake. Oichi tears. "Oh…my cute babies…our twins honey…" Orochi nods and grabs her cheek. "Oichi…here right now will you listen to a selfish request of mine?" Oichi nods. "Marry me…right now…on this stupid mountain?" Oichi's eyes widen. "Wha…really!?" Orochi nods. "I want you to be my wife now." Tears ran down her cheeks. "Okay! Yes! Let's do it!" She smiles brightly. Orochi smiles back at her and leans in to kiss her. The twins started to wiggle in her arms. Breaking the kiss, they both smiled down at them. "I love you." He says kissing her cheek.
Jess was sitting next Aerith who was still in the healing pod. Jess frowned looking at her 'oh my sweet baby girl….'
Hearing the door open she glanced to see Jayden stepping in, Jess smiled at him "Jay" he looked at her has tears came down his face "auntie…. I'm sorry if I gotten to her sooner" Jess got up and stepped over to him pulling him in a hold "it's okay Jayden, you found her and brought her here…. You saved her life…. She's alive and safe know" Jayden frowns "I don't think she is…" Jess let him go and looked at him "what do you mean?"
Jayden frowned "auntie…. There's something I need to tell you…. I've been tell uncle but…." Jess took his hands "tell me everything Jay"
In Shamir's room, Ayden was changing Scott's diaper. Shamir was in the bathroom washing up after he spit up on her. Ayden chuckled looking at Scott. "You're a bad baby for spitting up on your mama like that." Scott smiled as Ayden lotions him down. He picked him up. "Now, let's find you something to wear.
The door to the bathroom opened and Shamir came out in a robe with a huff. Her belly was already shrinking down. "You good?" Shamir nods. "Yes…I knew this would be hard but…" Ayden chuckle. "That's why I'm here. I've taken care of the quads for a bit. Come here." Shamir went to him. He handed her Scott. She looked nervous as she held him, she felt Scott tense up in her arms. "Sometimes baby's can read your emotions both positive and negative. So the more nervous and scared you feel the more he picks up on it. Take a deep breath." Shamir nods and breaths out softly.
She felt Scott relax and smile up at her. Shamir smiles brightly. "He's smiling at me!" Ayden chuckles. "I'll go find some clothes for him in the closet."
In the outskirts of Xacron, Ascelin stepped out a demon portal. He could see the main city in the distance. He breaths softly and smiles "Alex my love I'm coming" he says and starts to walk towards Xacron.
In Aerith's room, jess looked at Jayden "Jay… why didn't you tell me and your mom about this…? Your having past life memories…. But the way how this past life talked to you….. mhmm it seems you are half reincarnated meaning the soul was split when this demon died…. This demon was the demon that fell in love with Aerith's past life, Michaels daughter Alexandria" Jayden frowned "I figured… he said he was coming for her…." Jess sighs and sat down "it seems he will too"
Michael walked into the room with his baby girl Alexis in his arms. Jess smiled brightly "awwy you brought little Alexis" Michael chuckled with a nod and stepped over to Jess handing her Alexis. Jess giggled at her "aww she's so cute" then she looked at Michael "Michael it seems you have explaining to do about the demon that fell in love with Alexandria" Michael frowned and looked at Jayden who stared up at him with a frown. Michael sighed and sat down "sit Jayden" Jayden frowned but sat down "Who is he?"
Michael breathes "His name is Ascelin… the first son of Paimon" their eyes widen. Jess gasped softly "Paimon had anther son besides Rave?" Michael nodded "Paimon made sure that his death was not record of me for him and Alex falling for each other…. He was there that night you know.. Paimon was there and let me kill his son" Jayden's eyes widen "He was…?" Michael nodded "Paimon and me are much a like back then, he thought his son being mated with an angel would disgrace his bloodline" Jess frowned snuggling Alexis, this was news for her.
Jayden frowned and looked down at his hands "I feel him coming… he wants Aerith" Michael frowned and stood up "Not Aerith, he wants Alexandria and he will do anything to get her to come out too… I could already feel his presence closing in on Xacron, I shell talk to him" he left the room. Jess frowned "It's alright Jayden, if Michael fails I wont let him take Aerith I promise"
Ross was in his domain sitting in front of the orb that projected Marik. Ever since he grounded Azaya he had been keeping the orb with him and talking to Marik. He had a cup of demon fire whiskey in front of them. "So…your looking for new generals?" "Something like that. I'll keep some of the old ones." "How about Adrian? Charlotte is a good pick as well. Even if she's pregnant." "I'll consider it. I'm also thinking about the young demon related to Keily." "Tozrith? His father was a general. He's probably dead no thanks to you." Marik shrugs. "Yea, he is quite powerful but he has yet to unlock his true potential." Ross then frowns. "…Your not thinking of add Azaya are you?" Marik chuckled. "Of course not. I love my niece but even I draw a line somewhere. Maybe when she's older I'll consider it." "Good…something we can agree on…and what about Ebony's father. Your still trying to find a way to get her to trust you right?" Marik nods. "Release her father and I'm sure she will trust you more."
"Hmmm…that may be an issue. I can still feel him but I think he is in father's domain." Ross blinks. "His domain is still active!?" "Oh yes, so long as he is alive it remains but while he is human he can't access it and neither can us…we would need some kind of connection with a being who shares his energy…" Ross eyes narrowed. "Your talking about Ava. Your insane if you think Oichi is gonna let that happen." Marik chuckle. "If I brought her a bargaining chip she may." Ross sighs. "What could you possibly give her?" Marik smirked. "You'll have to wait and see."
Outside of the Hospital, Ascelin stops in front of it. he smirks "Alex I'm here for you…" "Brother" he turns to see Rave running over him "Rave, what are you doing here?" Rave frowned "I wanted to see her and fight her!" Ascelin shook his head "Be careful little brother, this might be the last time you saw me" Rave frowned "What do you mean?" Ascelin looked away from and at the hotel "just a feeling" Rave frowned went through a portal. Ascelin takes a couple steps but stops has the doors open and Michael stepped out. Ascelin's eyes widen and grips his fist "Michael…."
Michael frowns looking at him "Ascelin, I cannot let you pass. I don't Lady Jess would be pleased in you trying to take her comatose daughter" Ascelin narrowed his eyes "you think because your linked to the queen of witches this will stop me? I want to see Alex" Michaels sighs "She isn't Alex, her name is Aerith. Look.. I'm sorry for what I did to you and Alex back then but I have changed and I know it was wrong of me" Ascelin's eyes widen turned black and his purple eyes turned demon like "you apologize….?" His eyes widen in anger "YOU APOLOIZE?!" he shouted has the demonic aura from him got super heavy, Michael's eyes widen and backed up a little. Ascelin's hairs appeared on his head "YOU MUST DIE!" he screamed and charged at him. Michael's eyes widen and with a split second he was in his angelic armor and clashes with Ascelin. Making the ground shake almost like a earth quake.
Deep in the forest of Switzerland Alcaeus was laying down on the forest. He turned on his side and sighs leaking out poison miasma. He watched the ground rot away from it. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep. In his dreams he always saw nothing but bad memories from his childhood to his attacks on Ross to all the destruction and lives he took.
In the back of his mind, he wished he could have been born into a happier family where he didn't suffer. All he wanted was for someone to love him. He questioned what was his purpose. Was he just going to be a killing machine? Sighing he woke from his depressing dream. He rubbed the back of his neck. A black crow circle in the air. "Mother is calling…" He sighs and gets up. "Wonder what she has in store for me now…"
At Kaci's and Ross's, Kaci opened Azaya's door. Azaya was in a black and red snow white tank top and red ripped skinny jeans and heel socks "Azaya" she looked up form her tablet "Yes dad?" "It's time for you to do you chores" she sighed and nodded getting up "Remember no leaving the area. You are to do your chores until your father gets home" he said to her. Azaya nodded to him and right away went to do her chores.
Behind the house on the mountain, Rave sat there watching Azaya, his body shook and moaned slightly, with a grin with his demon teeth appearing "Azaya… I wonder how your neck would feel once I put a demon mark on you"
Back at the hospital Ascelin and Michael where still fighting. Michael's arm was severely hurt on the ground frowning up at him 'he's got powerful… this much?' Ascelin with his demon weapons was doing damage to Michael. Ascelin laughed above him in the sky "Hahaha! Is this this the best you can do archangel Michael?!" he lifted his hand has a demon light sphere appeared. With a blank dead look "Die…" he said has red demonic beams came at Michael making his eyes widen and was hit dead on causing him to scream in pain.
Up in heaven Divus frowns watching. Asherah came walking over with Raphael "Love you alright?" Divus did not respond making Raphael look to see Michael was about to die by Ascelin's hand. Raphael's eyes widen "son go down there and stop this, your more powerful then before from bathing in the celestial baths" Raphael sighs. "Very well."
Down on earth Ascelin landed next to Michael who was on the ground bleeding and wheezing. Ascelin lifted up his demon sword "this is the end of the arch angel Michael!" he shouted has his sword went down. Up in Aerith's room, Jayden was holding Jess who was shaking and wheezing "Auntie what's wrong?" Jess's eyes widen "Michael…. He's about to die…" Jayden's eyes widen but then electronics in the room went haywire and the pod curst open in a light and out of the window. Jayden's eyes widen to see Aerith gone "AERITH!" Jess frowned and looked at him Jayden "Go…!" biting his lip he dashed out of the room.
What felt like slow motion for Michael, the sword was getting closer and closer but then before the sword hit him another sword stopped Ascelin's. Michael's eyes widen, Ascelin's eyes widen looking up "Alex…" Michael looked up to see his daughter right there, with her long blonde hair, green eyes and wearing her angelic armor. Her gorgeous white angel wings where out. Her eyes widen smiled softly at Ascelin "enough my love" Ascelin frowned "But he is the reason why I dead and you were turned into a human!"
Alexandria sighs softly "Yes I know I have forgiven him" Michael's eyes widen 'she… forgives me…' Ascelin growled "How can you!?" Alexandria steps over to him "Enough, lets go somewhere and talk… that's what you want?" Ascelin looked at her and sighed putting away his sword has Jayden came rushing out. His eyes widen "Aerith!" Alexandria stopped and looked at him and smiled "I'll be back Jay" Ascelin narrowed at Jayden and held Alexandria close to him and disappeared through a portal.
Michael groans in pain but felt a warming light, he smiled "Brother, father let you come back?" Raphael shook his head. "Your deeds come back to haunt you as I told you long before…I really hope you have seen the damage your past actions has cause…we both should reflect on the errors of our ways…" Michael's frowns "Shesh giving a lecture and wont heal me?" Raphael smiles down at him and casts a angelic healing bubble on him. Michael looked at Jayden who was looking down at the ground frowning. "Jayden it's alright she will return" Jayden frowned at him. "This is your fault…Had you just let them be we wouldn't be going through with this you useless angel!" Jayden snaps at him and walks back inside to go check on Jess.
At Kaci's and Ross's, Aerith was finishing the dishes "Take out the garage Azaya" Kaci shouted from the living room. Azaya frowned and dried her hands and started to gather up the garbage bags then taking them outside. Walking to the trash bins she opened them and through them in there. She sighed and turned around but gasped backing up into them to see Rave standing there. Azaya growled "What do you want?!" Rave chuckled "You of course" Azaya blinked "This is funny anymore! I've already killed you once don't make do it again!" Rave chuckled more at her and reached out grabbing her arm. Azaya's eyes widen and narrowed has her arm turned into lava but a glove on his hand glowed making her arm turned to normal. Azaya gasped at this, Rave laughed pulled her to him "STOP! DAD!" she shouted, Rave's eyes widen has Kaci ran outside to see what was going on.
Kaci growled deadly at him "You again!" with a his speed Rave was pushed off Azaya. Azaya ran back inside "Call your father!" Kaci shouted has him and Rave started to have a fight right there. Hannibal's eyes widen "Daddy!" Azaya panicked and closed her eyes when a demonic mirror appeared, it rang a few times when Ross picked up "Azaya opened her eyes "papa! Come home know! Rave is here and he fighting with dad!" then she sees her uncle and smiled brightly "Uncle!"
Then they see Kaci was kicked into the window laying on the ground. Hannibal screamed and ran to him. Ross and Marik see's Rave appear nick to Azaya and bite her hard on her neck making her scream in pain.
In Ross's domain, the orb cracked. Ross turned to see that Marik had disappeared. He tried opening his domain but it didn't work. "What the hell? Did you really lock me in my own domain!? You shitty brother!"
At Kaci's. A hand grabbed Rave and tore him away from Azaya. He was thrown into threw the wall outside. Marik in the flesh, placed a barrier over Azaya. "I'll be back in a bit my dear niece." Azaya blinked at him has Marik stepped over to Rave who got up and growled but froze looking at Marik his body was shaking. Marik can see Azaya's blood drip from his chin. Rave didn't know why because he licked his lips and even swallowed some of her blood and hummed 'oh my god its so good… I think I'm turned on now…' Azaya's eyes widen at him holding her neck then feeling Marik's anger. Hannibal standing in front of Kaci has his demonic fire appear "You hurt mama! Sissy!" he shouted as dark purple flames hit Rave making him scream hitting down the ground hard. Azaya gasped at this.
Marik put the flames out with a swipe of his hand. He wasn't in a good mood to react to Hannibal's flames. He walked up to Rave who was breathing hard. "You are nothing but a flea-bitten dog. You need to learn your place." Marik bit his finger and a drop of blood hit the ground. A demon symbol appeared under them. Rave looked around confused. Placing a hand on his hip Marik looks down at Rave. "I've decided little flea. You are going to be my pet." Rave's eyes widen. "W-What!? I will no…" Before he could finish Marik snapped his fingers and blew Rave's body away killing him in a instant. Azaya's eyes widen at this and then gasp when the symbol glowed in front of Marik. Rave was quickly revived. His eyes widen at this. "W-What did you…" "Don't worry about it flea. Now, as I was saying…as punishment for laying your filthy hands on my adorable niece you will be my pet." Rave bit his lip. "I said No! I w-…" Marik snapped his fingers killing him again. The symbol glowed and brought Rave back who was shaking, remembering how twice now he was killed in an instant.
"I can do this all day flea. In the end it's your spirit that will break and my, how it will be a lovely sight." Rave shivered. "I…" Marik snapped his fingers. Azaya watched as Marik killed Rave more than ten times. On the last revive Rave couldn't take anymore and bowed his head tearing and shaking in fear. Marik chuckled. "Good boy." A leash appeared around Rave's neck. "From here on out, your name will be flea understand?" Rave shook and nods his head. "Good boy."
Azaya gets up "Uncle the barrier…." Marik chuckles and takes down the barrier. Hannibal pouted and was shaking Kaci "Mama…!" Upstairs Kalena woke up crying. Azaya blinked "Kalena… is awake… wait where is my dad?" she looked at Marik. He hums out and snaps his fingers making Rave jump. "Ah, in my hast I must have locked him in his domain on accident. Don't worry I just unlocked it."
Azaya sighs and looked at Rave who looks at her but with a blink of an eye her fist connected to Rave's face all heard a crack making Rave gasp "Ahhh she broke my nose!" Hannibal screamed and ran up kicking him in leg "Big Meanie!" Marik chuckled as a portal opened and Ross rushed out steaming. "Damn you! Did you have to lock me in there!?" Marik shrugs. "I got to be Azaya's knight and shining armor and that's all I really care about it." Ross growls and then sighs. He rushed to go check on Kaci. Azaya flushed at her uncle.
Marik looks at Rave and looked at his shoe. He saw a drop of blood on it. "Flea…come lick my shoes clean." Rave frowned at him. "My nose! She just…" Marik snapped his finger killing him quickly and then brings him back. Rave gaps. "I said…lick…" Rave got on his feet. "That's not how a flea walk. All fours. Now." Rave grips his fist and gets on all fours. He crawled over to him and starts to lick his shoes. "Good boy. Don't worry I'll have you trained soon…after I humiliate you a little more haha."
Not far from Ravenswood, in the woods, Alexandria and Ascelin walked hand by hand and stopped at a opening above ground. Ascelin blinked and smiled "Is this…" Alexandria smiled at him and jumped down. Ascelin flowed her, he jumped down after her and landed on the ground. His eyes widen, it was a amethyst crystal cave. This was the very same cave they were once stuck in and fell in love and made love in.
"this is the cave where we first fell in love in" he says softly touching one. Alexandria chuckled "Indeed it is" she said and walked over to a spot and Ascelin followed his eyes widen and there it was, their old blanket. He turned to her and his eyes widen has she was now wearing an elegant purple dress "Wow… you always look good in purple" Alexandria smiles but frowned "Ascelin…. We need to talk… Aerith is my reincarnation… and she is with Jayden. Jayden is your reincarnation… they are soul mates like us" Ascelin frowned "But.. Alex… our time was taken from us… before we had a family…" Alexandria flushed but chuckled and took his hand "this is our future self's time to be together, they still have a long future together… what you need to combine with Jayden… your soul was split Ace" Ascelin flushed at her nickname for him but he sighed "at least one more night with you and I will go with you back" Alexandria turned red and chuckled leaned up and kissed him making him kiss her back.
In China, up in the mountains, Oichi was up. She still felt weak so the servant dressed her in something easy. A beautiful blue floral dress with white shoes. Her hair was cut down to her shoulders. She walked out and sighs at the smell of peaches. Cee had told her about when Jess got hit with the strong smell. 'I should bring her back a bottle of peach wine for her and the twins.' She frowns. 'I'm sure she will need a relaxer after this…' She walked to the middle of the area and looks up at the sky. It was also clear blue here. Nice and peaceful.
"Oichi…" Oichi turns and smiles to Orochi. He was wearing a white shirt with a black kimono jacket and black slacks. His hair was in a low ponytail. He was blushing looking at her. She giggled and walked up to him. "Don't you look handsome?" "Do I have to dress up to marry you?" "No, but it would be nice. As well how do you plan to marry me when you don't even have rings." Orochi rubbed his head. "We don't need rings to prove we are married." Oichi rolled her eyes. "It's a token of our love dear. It lets other men see that I'm taken. That way you don't have to go kill them." Orochi huffs out.
Sun walked out with the twins. They were wearing micky and mini matching set pieces. "Aw, that's so adorable." Sun smiles. "I know! They were smiling at me the whole time. Can I keep them please?" Orochi narrowed his eyes at him. "Just kidding sheesh. So protective. Anyways follow me so we can get this show on the road! I never thought I'd see the day were my good friend gets married and have kids." Orochi groans. "Shut up…stupid monkey…" Sun laughs and walks by them leading the way. Oichi grabbed Orochi's hand. "Shall we?" He smiles at her and squeezes her hand. "Yes, my beloved."
Jayden was rubbing Jess's back, they were in the waiting room. Alexis was sitting next to her chewing on her teething rings. Jess looked up to see Michael walking over. Jess bites her lip and stood up fast and stomped over and smacked him making his eyes widen. "you stupid idiot…!" Michael smiled "Did I worry you?" Jess huffed at him and went back over to the Jayden and sat down.
Alexis see's Michael and giggled, Michael smiled and stepped over picking her up and sat down. Jess sighs "She better come back" Jay nods "yeah…."
Oichi and Orochi walked handed in hand following Sun. They were going higher into the mountain top until they reached a pair of steps. Clouds formed under their feet as they rose over the steps. They soon came to a large pink tree with two bridges connecting to it. "Where are we?" Oichi asked. Sun chuckled. "You are right outside the Jade mountain realm. Or rather the realms of the Gods." Oichi's eyes widen. "What?" They landed in front of the tree.
"Yup, you two are about to get married in front of all of them!" He points up. They looked up to see the clouds circling around the tree and various faces appeared. Oichi gasps. "Sun Wukong! You can't be serious!?" Sun frowned. "I am? Do you not like it?" "No, no! I am fatter, honor to have such grand witness but look!" She points to her outfit. "How could you make me wear something like this to appear in front of them!? I thought it would be something a little more causal not magnificent!" Sun blinks and laughed. "I really like you Oichi. I can see why Orochi fell in love with you."
A sparking light floats down behind Sun Wukong. A very handsome man appeared behind him with a frown. He had short brown hair with light orange tips. Sharp golden eyes and orange print under his eyes. He was wearing a traditional white shirt with a back and gold jacket that went to down to the ground and black pants. He narrowed his eyes at Sun and cleared his throat. Sun jumps and before he could react the man smacked the back of his head.
"Hey! Careful with that! I have the babies." The man sighs. "Annoying chimp…" He walked past him and walked up to Oichi. He smiled. "Hello Lady Oichi, Lord Deerward…welcome back." Deerward appeared behind Oichi and nods. "My lady, I am the jade emperor of this realm. I welcome you and your future husband that you have tamed." Orochi frowned at that. "Hello, um…I'm sorry I fell so undressed…" "Do not worry about your appearance. I blame that on the monkey." Sun frowned. "Hey!" He smiles. "Me and the Gods her are more impressed with your feats despite fate playing hands against you. Being about to tame this demon and give birth to his children is quite amazing." Oichi smiles. "Thank you…but his name is Orochi. Not demon…please will you show him respect?" The jade emperor chuckled. "My apologies. You are correct. Come, stand under the tree hand in hand. I will be honor to wed you."
Oichi and Orochi followed him to the tree. Oichi could feel the eyes of the other God's watching her. It was an intense feeling. Reaching the base of the tree, Oichi and Orochi turned to each other. The Jade emperor cleared his throat. "My loyal subjects, child, and family…it is under my watch that these two shall be wedded. Hand in hand under our most scared eyes. Today Lady Oichi Yamamoto and Yamata Orochi will become one as husband and wife. Is there anyone here today that goes against their wishes?" He looks up to see everyone silent. "Very well. Do you two wish to say a word to each other?"
Oichi blinks and blushes. "Oh, right on the spot…" Orochi chuckles and squeezes her hands. She looks up at him. "Then do not speak. Instead listen…It is because of you that my heart beats so warmly. You have shown me that there is much more to life than being a weapon and a destroyer." He frowned. "I have done terrible things to you. I have kept your soul, it was because my fate that Sakamoto had to leave you, I kidnapped you, I went against you…how you continue to love me confused me and baffled me to no ends, but…I am happy. I'm happy that you love me and that love granted something to me that I thought was not possible." He looked at the twins who were wide awake and looking everywhere. "Oichi…" He looked back at her. "I love you. I love you so much that it painful when I think you could be with anyone else." "You are the light to my darkness. My one true love. Only you will ever have my heart and my devotion. Thank you for loving a monster like me."
Tears rolled down Oichi's cheeks. "Oh…I…" She sniffs quickly being overcome with emotions. "I can't even think right now. I'm so happy…your not a monster Orochi. You are my love. I didn't think I could ever love someone else after Saki and yet here you are. Making my heart swell up. Oh my gosh…I will be the best wife ever to you. Everyday I will make sure that no one would think of you as a monster. They would see a man with his wife and their beautiful children!" Orochi smiles. "Is that so…" Oichi nods sniffing. "I love you so much. Thank you for choosing me to be your bride."
The Jade emperor smiles. Up above some of the Gods were either tearing or chuckling watching. "You can just feel the love…" "How can we view him as monster watching such a cute wedding!" "Aw, I just want to snuggle them both!" The chatter starts. The emperor raises his hands. "Simply beautiful…It has been such a long time since the strong feeling of love braced our presences." He puts his hands together. "As the Jade emperor, I do declare my blessing for you both and pronounce you man and wife." He opened his hands and two rose black and golden rings appeared. "A gift from my wife." The rings floated over to them. They grabbed them and placed them on each other's finger. Oichi giggled looking at it. "You may now kiss your beloved bride." Orochi wrapped his arms around Oichi's waist and kissed her deeply. There was a loud gong sound that made them jump as the God's clapped for them. Their clapped sounded like lightning and thunder. Oichi chuckled. "Wow…getting married in front of them is overwhelming…" Orochi sighs. "Annoying. We should get back and have you lay down to rest before we head home."
Oichi smiles and looks at the emperor. "Thank you for marrying us. I know that you and the other Gods do not interfere with us but please should you ever wish to come to Xacron, my doors are always open for a visit." He smiled at her and laughed slightly. "Thank you. Your kindness is quite amazing. One day I shall take you up on that offer but until then I must take my leave. His body flashes and turns into a light and floats back into the sky. The faces of the Gods disperse and everything turns back to normal. "So…how are you going to explain to Jess that you got married and didn't tell her." Orochi says. Oichi gasps. "Crap…well…I didn't want to drag her back up here…um…I'll just throw a ceremony like a after wedding party. That way everyone can come and what not." Orochi shakes his head. "If you think that will work." He kissed her forehead. "Let's get you back to bed. We can head home tomorrow." She nods.
The next day, Jess was home at Oichi's. Jayden was on the floor still waiting for Aerith to return to her. Ayden and Ebony where not far cuddling on the couch, Ebony was fast a sleep. Dustin was out for the day, Joseph, Rick and Chida where also there helping out with the kids. Draco, Draven and the girls where in the play room. Akalia where watching them along with Rinko. Baby Elvira was in her swing next to couch in Jess's reach. She was fast asleep has the swing moved slowly.
Ross has just showed up and told them on what happen to Azaya. Jess frowned "oh my I hope she is alright… you gonna got to Paxton's to tell them….? Knowing Semyaza he will try and see her" they all nodded to what she said. "He already knows but Semyaza is out elsewhere doing who knows what. Lately he wants to be left alone." Ross says with a sigh.
Hearing the door opened, Jayden's eyes widen and looked up to see Aerith standing there but in that purple dress. She smiled "Hey hun!" everyone's eyes widen at her, Jess smiled "Welcome home hunny" Jayden got up and was about to run up to her when everyone's eyes widen to see Ascelin walk right up next to her. Ross's eyes widen at him, Ascelin looked at him and chuckled "Yo Beelzebub!" "Ugh! No! Don't call me that! It's Ross! R-O-S-S!" Ross says scratching his head. "I wish my name had a curse on it to…" everyone chuckled at him. Ascelin chuckled at him "back then you always killed someone who called you that but I guess that changes" Jayden came right up and hugged Aerith making her giggle has she hugged him back Ascelin frowned. Jess stood up "alright so what's gonna happen know?" Aerith let Jayden go and looked at Ascelin who sighs softly "talking with Alex… maybe me see that… my soul was split and it shouldn't have…. And that Aerith and Jayden are souls mates…" "And?" Aerith chimed, Ascelin breaths with a huff "I will combined with Jayden to make our souls whole like it should have been"
Jess hummed softly "I see sense Jayden is a reincarnation a demon it leaves on the new king of hell to help with your two split souls, who knows maybe Jayden might get some of Ascelin's demonic powers…?" she looked at Ross. "Don't look at me like I have the answer to that. Whatever happens, happens."
Just than a portal opens in the living room. Oichi and Orochi walked out, each holding the twins. Oichi sighs out. "Yay! Back home. Time for a nap." "You slept enough…" Orochi says sighing. Oichi chuckled and stopped to see everyone. "Why is everyone in the living room…" She sees Ascelin and frowned. "What's going on in my house…" Jess smiled brightly "Oichi! Welcome home! Kids welcome home Oichi!" Ayden poked Ebony who woke up "huh…?" Ayden chuckled "my mom is home" Ebony's eyes widen and smiled brightly "Welcome home auntie!" Klaus nodded "Welcome home auntie"
Oichi then noticed Aerith and her eyes widen "Aerith!" Aerith smiled "Welcome home auntie, I'm alright and this is Ascelin" Orochi eyes widen and sighs "first son of Paimon" Oichi gasped "What?!" Ascelin nodded and bowed "It's a pleasure to meet you ma'am. I'm Ascelin, your son Jaydan's past life. He is my reincarnation" Jess nodded "his soul split after death so one part of his soul manage to get reincarnated but it's not whole… Ascelin was reborn by his brother Rave with the help of phoenix?" Ascelin nodded "all though I don't care for dark witches never did, I'm grateful for the Mikcloud witches for saving my Alex. Oichi is it…? uhm… me and Jayden need to combine to become whole."
Oichi growled deeply at him making him blink and instantly take a step back. "That's either Lady or Queen to you Ascelin. Reincarnation or not, don't say my name as a pleasantry. You made quite a scene in front of the hospital, and you came to my land with hostile intrusion." He frowned at her. Oichi huffs out. "None the less…this is a demon problem. Ross speak to your brother see if he can do something about this." Ross frowned. "How do you know I even stay in contact with him." "Because I know you do. Get this issue solved now." Ross sighs. "Fine, fine…" He then noticed her hand. "That ring…did you get married!?" Oichi blinks. "Oh yeah!" Oichi says completely forgetting the situation at hand. "My and Orochi are married now!" Ayden frowned. "WHAT!?" He groans. "I didn't even have time to set you up for blind dates…"
Jess's eyes widen and felt sad "Wait… you got married and I wasn't apart of it!? what the hell?! you… forgot apart me being a maid of honor…?" then suddenly Elvira woke up crying. Oichi's eyes widen "Is that…?" Jess smiled and nodded picking up Elvira and bounced her softly "Shhhh sorry my cute little lady, mama's sorry she woke you up" Aerith gasps "I haven't seen her yet…. She's so cute" Elvira clamed down and her eyes opened and looked around, Aerith and Oichi can see her fuchsia eyes "Wow.. she really does have papa Levis's eyes…." Aerith was surprised.
Oichi chuckled. "Aw, she is adorable." She looked at Jess. "And of course, I didn't forget about you. It was a heated moment. I didn't want to tear you away from Aerith. That would have been selfish of me…I do plan to do a ceremony so we all can gather and have a little fun. The after party you know. Now that everyone is home again, I think it really does call for a celebration and that can be on my birthday! If you want, we can even recreate the wedding just for you!" Oichi says laughing.
A few days past and it was July 22nd, Oichi's 36th birthday. She was sitting at her desk in the castle she was wearing a gray tulle long dress. It was very hot today and she had the window open. Orochi had the twins today. She didn't mind, she wanted him to spend all the time he had with them while the girls were visiting Danni and Frank. The triplets and twins were out and about. Takara had her doctors visit today and Shamir was in the room resting with Scott.
Oichi sighs out finishing a weeks' worth of paperwork. "It's my birthday and no one has even said happy birthday to me." She pouted. "Not even my own kids…" She sighs feeling down. Rex's systems were down, and he was limited at certain things. Mikey and Zane had been going underwater to try to figure out the cause.
Sitting back in her chair she looks down at her wedding ring and smiles. "I can't believe we are married. HeeHee…" Just then a portal opened in her office. She watched Marik walk out with a leash in his hand. She raises her eyebrow at that. "Hello Queen Oichi, and happy birthday." Oichi pouts more than sighs. "Thank you…" "Oh? Was I the first to say it today? Lucky me. May I join you for a talk?" Oichi nods still looking at the leash. Marik smiles and walks to her desk pulling the leash. Out came Rave who was glaring daggers.
"Oh…Ross told me that you had a pet but I didn't think it would be…well…fitting?" Oichi says crossing her arms under her breasts. Marik chuckled and sat down. "This is flea. I have to make sure he is trained you know so he goes were ever I go. Flea…my legs are tired." Rave bit his lip and dropped down to the floor on all fours and crawled over to him. Marik lifted his legs and placed them on his back and sighs out. "Much better."
Normally, Oichi would be upset to see this but after what Rave did to Azaya and the trouble he caused she accepted that punishment. "Now, my lady…I heard you wanted to speak about your son?" Oichi nods. "Yes, can you do something about that?" "I can. It would be easy, but may I ask in you for something in return?" "Sure. What can I do for you?" Marik chuckled. "I would like your daughter Ava." Oichi's eyes lit up blue and the room shook. "Excuse me?" Marik's eyes turned into his demon ones out of excitement from her anger and smiles. "I would like your daughter Ava. How about we negotiate?" Oichi stood up. "You think I would negotiate my daughter!?" "If you listen to me for a moment, I assure you that no harm will come to her. She is the only other person who shares a personal link with my father after all." Oichi's closed her eyes and calmed down. She sat back in her chair and leans back. Crossing her legs, she gave him a blank look. "Fine…talk…and choose your words carefully." Marik's eyes went back to normal. "Of course."
Jess giggles at the kids in the backyard. They where all holding letters that spelled out happy birthday. Ava and her sisters where holding together the cake sign and Jess's twins with Hannibal where holding the balloon sign. Rick and Chida chuckled "You sure she will come home?" Jess nodded "I texted just…" she pushed send "that it was Ava, something is wrong Ava would get here fast" Kaci chuckled at her, he was holding Kalena. Ross on the chair was holding Elvira, she was fast asleep. Ascelin frowned seeing Jayden and Aerith so close without 'I wanna join' Jess claps her hands "Alright everyone remember when Oichi shows up you a will shout happy birthday got it?" her kids chuckled "Yeah got it mom" "Sure thing mom!" the twins giggled "Yes!"
In the castle, Oichi heard her phone but ignored it for a second. She and Marik were staring each other down. "What do you think it will take for me to allow you to use my daughter." Oichi says. "Well for one, I put your son's soul back together, but that's only because I want to. I see you as a major Ally for me and I don't want us to be on bad terms." "…yet you want to use my daughter?" "I only want to use her to get into my father's domain." "No." Oichi says. "Ava hasn't even tapped into that side of her. Not since Lucifer sealed her portals." "Wrong. I saw what power she has already. Those white flames are pure, and she has the ability to change the soul of a demon. That is a troublesome power." "You plan on doing something about her?" Oichi asked deadly.
Marik shivered in delight. "My, my, you are so intense. It's a lovely feeling. How about this…if you allow me to use Ava I will bring back those dragons for you." "Dragons?" "Yes, the father and brother of your most trusted guard? Terrance was it? I can bring them to you, and I can show you a way to control that that will allow you to control them." "That's well and great but those dragons are under your beloved witches command. The moment her magic leaves their bodies they become nothing but bones." "I have a solution for that to. Since you are a wolf…a special kind of wolf. I bet you planned to use your soul to bind them. They wouldn't be your familiars, but they would share a part of you however, if they should die the portion of your soul goes with them." "Yes, I am aware of that." "The solution I have will not only null that option but your will be able to have your dragon back with his family." Oichi bit the back of her nail.
"Will this hurt Ava?" "I will make sure she is comfortable, and I'll even bring along Ross." Oichi sighs and grabs her phone. She read the text and frowned. "Very well…you may use Ava to get into Lucifer's domain but that is it. If she gets hurt, you will make a enemy out of me and anti-Christ or not I will kick your ass back to hell." Marik chuckled. "Lovely. We have a deal then. Flea?" Rave groans and moves from under his legs. "I will be back soon my dear wolf queen. The sooner we do this the better right? I hope one day we can form an alliance together." He opens a portal and walks into it. Rave turned to her. "H-Help me…please…" Oichi turned her head from him. "You should have thought about your actions when you sided with that witch and what you did to Azaya. Accept your punishment and be lucky you aren't dead." Rave bit his lip. "I'd rather be dead…" Oichi narrowed her eyes. "Be careful what you wish for." Rave was then pulled through the portal. It closed making Oichi sighs. She then gets up texting Jess that she was on the way. 'What's wrong with my little girl!?' She says running home.
Jess smirked at the text "She's on her way! Delica you have the cake?" Delica giggled "Yup!" she had the cake on a cake table, it was a blue marble cake. Jess stepped over casting a spell on it so it would not melt. "Alright everyone here she comes!"
Oichi quickly came and ran through the house, and she rushed outside "What is WRONG WITH AVA?!" she scream but her eyes widen has all the kids laughed and screamed "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" She blinks looking around to see Ava giggling. She sighs in relief and smiles. "Can we not give me a heart attack. I thought the girls were with mom." Jayden waves his hand. "We kidnapped them and brought them here. Grandma kinda knows." Oichi chuckles and claps her hands together. "Your all so cute! Thank you!"
Jess giggled "Happy birthday sissy" jess stepped over and hugged Oichi. Rick and Chida stepped over and kissed her cheeks "Happy birthday Oichi" Ava gasped and rush over and latched on Ricks leg "Mine!" Oichi shook her head. "Don't worry sweetie. You can have your uncle Rick all to yourself."
Jess giggled at her, Rick chuckled and picked her up snuggling her "Awww I'm all yours Ava!" Chida laughed "aww cute."
Then hearing flapping wings, they see Frank drop down with a large bowl of Magnolia Bakery Banana pudding "Happy birthday my lovely daughter I brought you this!" the kid's eyes widen at that big bowl of pudding. Oichi chuckled. "Thank you. I'm sure it won't last even a second." Eliana, Leia, and Nicole ran to Frank jumping up and down. "Grandpa!" Frank chuckled picking them up "aww my little grandbabies! Did you surprise your mama?" "Yes!" They answered together.
Frank chuckled "well Danni is resting today so I will cook crab legs, lobster tails, steaks for everyone!" Jess smirked "Mhmm sounds so good!" Oichi nods in agreement. "Yes, that does sound lovely. You can get started on that. Jess, Jay, Aerith, Ross… Ascelin…I need to speak to you all in my office. It will only be a short moment." She walked up to Rick and held her arms out to Ava. She giggled and jumped right into her arms. "Mama!" Oichi chuckled. Rick chuckled and walked off to Chida. Jess motions Aerith, Jayden and Ascelin to follow and they did.
Reaching her office, Oichi sat down with a huff and put Ava on her lap. "What's up?" Ross asked sitting down. The other sat down as well. "I spoke to your brother." Ross frowned. "He is going to help?" Oichi nods. "Yes, but he wanted something in return." "Like?" Oichi frowned. "Ava…" Jayden frowned. "What!? Why!?" Aerith's eyes widen "Little Ava?!" Jess frowns "Use Ava…?" Ascelin looked at Ava 'her..? she does have some of Lucifer's powers'
Ava blinks and looks up at Oichi. "Me mama?" She then smiles. Oichi rubs her head. Then frowns. "He wants to use Ava to enter Lucifer's domain since she is the lasting link to him." Ross snitched his teeth. 'He actually went on and asked her.' He sighs. "Did you agree to it?" "…I did…" Jayden eyes widen and he stood up. "Mom!? No! You can't have him use Ava just to help! We can find another way! We don't know what would happen to her!" Jess frowns "Jayden…" Aerith sighs with a frown "Jay…"
"It isn't all he offered. He said he would bring back Terrance's father and his brother. More then anything I think I owe Terrance that. He's done a lot for me and the family. Sure he has Terry now and the children but he would be able to have his parents back and his brother. He's lost so much already…" Jess breaths out softly. "True…but once Valeriea's magic wears out wouldn't they die?" Oichi nods. "Yes, but he said he had a solution for that. So the deal is…if I let him use Ava to opened Lucifer's domain, not only will he but Jay's and Ascelin's soul together but bring back Terrance's family. He said nothing will happen to Ava and to keep to his word Ross you will be going with him." Ross frowned. "Your joking…" "I'm not…" Ross groans. "I hate going into his domain…everything wants to kill me in there."
Ava blinks and looks down wiggling her feet. "Mhm…?" Oichi looked down at her and smiled. "Your brother said…Ava's flames were pure…and that she has the power to change a demon's soul…or so to speak…" She gets up holding Ava and walks behind Ross. "Pet Ross honey." Ava's eyes sparkled. Ross frowned with a red face. "What!? I don't want to be petted!" "Not even for Ava?" Oichi asked holding her out. Ava eyes grew wide with more sparkles. Ross's eyes twitched and he sighs. "F-Fine…but I do not condone whatever happens next." Ava reached out and pats Ross's head. She giggled and pets him more and more until white flames came out of her hand. Her eyes glowed and so did Ross's.
He stood up for a moment and then looked at Oichi. He then took a knee making her gaps a little. "I apologize for my words a moments ago. Of course, I will join my brother to make sure little Ava is well taken care of. You have my word." Oichi chuckled. "No way…this is not the rude smartass Ross I know." Ava claps her hands laughing. Jess's eyes widen and starts to giggle. Aerith and Jayden gasps at this. Ascelin laughed "wow! This is funny!"
"I suppose that settles that…after we finish eating, contact your brother and tell him to meet us in the castle, in the medical hall." Ross nods. "I will do as you wish." Oichi giggled. "I wonder how long it will take him to go back to normal." Ava blinks and smiles clapping her hand. In tune that snapped Ross out of it. He blinks and stands up. He frowned. "Oichi…." Oichi chuckled. "Don't worry Ross. It was only a test run. I'd never do anything to embarrass you like catch all of that on video and send it to Paxton and Marc." She says Sarcastically. "You wouldn't…" Ross says narrowing his eyes. Oichi hums out and walks to the door. "Come on honey, let's go eat." "Yay! Food!" Ross bit his lip with a red face. "Dammit woman! Don't send that out to anyone!" He yells rushing after her. Jess, Aerith, Jayden and Ascelin laughed at him.
The next day, outside Aerith, Jayden, Ascelin, Ross, Jess and Oichi waited for Marik to show up. Oichi had decided that today would be fine, since she wanted to spend time with the kids on her birthday. A Portal appeared and Marik walked out with a chain and pulling on it, Rave stepped out. Rave's eyes widen at Ascelin "brother…." Ascelin frowned "I told you to be careful, you didn't listen to me… this is your fault little brother…. You should have never went after Princess Azaya. Rave's eyes widen biting his lip he growled "SHE ISNT A PRINCESS!" their eyes widen at him. Oichi and Ross right away picked up Ava and Hannibal covering their eyes.
Marik chuckles and snaps his fingers, quickly killing Rave and brought him back. Rave shook and looked up but Marik killed him once more. When Rave came back, he was in tears shaking. "S-Stop…p-please…" Marik laughs and bends down with a devilish grin and held his fingers down in front of his face. "You are a flea; my pet remember that well. You will not speak, even when you are spoken to. Do I have to pull your tongue out and burn it again?" Rave shook his head. "Good. Now sit." Rave sat down with his face to the ground. Oichi sighs holding Ava. "At least he doesn't leave a mess…" Jess sighs also "really know… you would think he would learn not to bad mouth Azaya" Ascelin frowned 'foolish brother'
Marik looked at them. "Sorry about flea. He is still in training. Isn't that right?" Rave said nothing with his head down. "See, he is slowly learning. Now…" He looked around and saw Ascelin. "You are out of place. It's time to fix that. Shall we?" Ascelin bowed "Thank my lord"
"Rinko?" Oichi called out. Black fire appeared and Rinko stepped out of it. "You called?" "Can you watch Hannibal while we tend to some business?" Rinko nods. "Of course. The girls are with Lulu for today. So, I can watch him." "Thank you." Oichi says. She looked at Marik. "You can follow us to the medical room." Marik nods and pulls on the chain. "All fours flea. Make sure you keep your head down. I know there are many demon guards here who would be so shocked to see the former great Paimon's son looking like a dog. Haha." Rave sniffs as Marik pulled him along. Ross handed Hannibal to Rinko. "I'll be back in a bit." He says poking Hannibal's tummy. He followed everyone else. Rinko sighs and looks down at Hannibal. "Well now…what do you want to do little one? The girls are in the playroom. Would you like to go there?" Hannibal gasp and grinned "play with you!"
"Very well." Rinko says putting him down in the sandlot. "Why don't we continue to build your sandcastle here."
Oichi led the others through the castle to the medical room. As they walked demon guards who were posted along the halls eyes widen to see Rave. Older demons were more shocked to see Ascelin and the younger ones were holding their breath from laughing at Rave. Marik chuckled.
They reached the medical room and the doors opened. The room was empty other then the beds. Marik lifts the chains and they stood in mid air being held by his flames. "Sit flea." Rave sat down without a word. "Young prince, lay down for me." Jayden nods and kisses Aerith on the cheek before picking a bed to lay on. "Ascelin…do you have any final remarks before you go back. Please make it quick." Marik says rubbing his wrist. Ascelin frowns and looks at Aerith "I'm sorry I tired to take you away… it was wrong of me" Aerith flushed and smiled "it's alright Ascelin, I have forgiven you already" he smiled at her, stepping to her he kissed her cheek making Jayden frown at him. Ascelin walked away and pick the other bed.
Marik walked in front of the bed. Lifting his hand, a demon symbol appeared under Ascelin. Ascelin closed his eyes as his body turned into light. The symbol then grew and appeared under Jayden's bed as well. Jayden closed his eyes as the light went into his chest. He gasps out. Marik raises his other hand and holds it over the other. He slowly started to close his hands together. He felt resistant from both souls, but it didn't stop him. Carefully and slowly, he combine Ascelin's soul back with Jayden's. His hands clamped together. Jayden's eyes opened and went white as his body lifted off the bed slightly before falling back down. "There…he will need some rest, but the task is done." Oichi quickly went to him. "Jayden…" She rubbed his head. Aerith held his hand "Jay" Jess held his other hand with a smile.
"Seems like the boy had a lack of sleep thanks to Ascelin. He will be fine tomorrow. Please allow him to rest." Marik says. Oichi nods. One of the guards came in. "Take him to a guest room please." The guard nods and picks him up and takes him out with Aerith following behind. The doors shut behind them. Marik looked at Ava who blinks at him. "Hi!" See says waving. "Hello. What's your name?" "Ava!" "Oh? Such a pretty name? Did you mom name you?" "Mhm! You have name?" She asked. Oichi turned to him. Marik chuckled. "I do but you can't say it." Ava gasps. "Why!" "Because a bad lady put a curse on it." Ava frowned. "Who!? I beat her up!" Marik laughs. "You are quite adorable. When I have a child I hope they will be just as cute as you."
Ross eyes widen slightly. "What do you mean by that?" Marik smirks at him and then looks back at Ava. "You can call me Zi." Ava smiles. "Zi!" "Yup. That's my mama's name." Ava giggles. "Hi Zi!" Oichi sighs. 'She's to cute for her own good…' "Is calling you that okay?" "Yes, you all can call me that. It's only my actual name that is cursed." "…Then…Zi…what now?"
Marik looked at Ava who smiled at him. He lifted his hand Ava started to float up. She gasps. "I fly! Weeee!" She yells with her arms out. Oichi held back a giggle. Marik puts her on the bed. "I will put her to sleep. She won't feel a thing. I will unlock my fathers powers long enough to open his Domain. Slip in and then slip out." Oichi nods. "Okay…"
Marik reaches down and touch Ava's head. Her eyes started to get heavy. "Mmm…sleepy…mama?" Oichi walked to the bed and lay her down. "It's okay sweetie. Go ahead and sleep." Ava closed her eyes going into a deep sleep. Marik sighs out and started to chant and an ancient demon language. Ava's body started to glow as her demon powers surfaced. The room got heavy felling the faint of Lucifer's powers. Ross frowned. "Creepy…" Oichi held Ava's hand. "Ava…" Jess held Ava other hand "it's alright Oichi, Ava will be alright"
Marik kept chanting and chanting as the room got heavier. More power leaked from Ava until finally a portal opened up beside her. They could feel heat coming from it. "Beel…place a protection barrier over the room and Ava." Ross nods and did what he was asked. "Let's go…" He says walking into the portal. Ross walked behind him.
In Lucifer's domain, Ross and Marik were in a room full of ancient items. Some were from where Lucifer picked up through the ages others were prisons that held something inside. It was as hot as Ross thought it would be. "Why is it warm?" He asked. "Father is but a mere human now, sealed away. Ava's body cannot equip his level of heat yet." "Yet?" Ross asked. "Yes, Ava will grow stronger and with her powers many demons will fear her. It's not every day you meant someone who can change your soul…" He placed a hand on his chest. "She could very well rewrite your soul, and have you believed that you were never truly evil to begin with." Ross hums out. "Is that right…" "Don't get any ideas Beel. It doesn't work on me." Ross sighs. "Wasn't thinking that but okay. So, what are we looking for?"
"No clue…I see a bunch of things, but I say let's take them all." He held his hand up and all the items within the room lifted up. They came at him right as he opened another portal to his domain. They flew in one by one. His eyes then caught something. He grabbed a orb shaped object and looked at it. He could feel Cien's demonic energy. "Found it." He tossed it back to Ross who caught it. Once all the items, books, and scrolls were in his domain he looked around. "This is the last part of him that is left…should I destroy it?" Ross shook his head. "No, it's not like he will be coming back." He tossed the orb to him. "Plus, this will affect Ava to. We don't want that while two queens are waiting right outside." Marik chuckled. "Sure…but one day I'll be back to clean up." They both walked out of the room. "So, have you thought about letting me train Azaya?" Ross frowns. "I have and as much as it pains me to…I…will let you do what you want. Just don't drag her into anything. I bet that's why Semyaza has been disappearing as well. Pax gave you the okay to train him?"
"No, I haven't spoken to him yet…" He stopped right before they got to the portal. "Though you have been talking to me for a while, I get the sense that you don't fully trust me yet…so I would like to prove to you that I don't mean harm to you or Azaya. When you can, meet with Paxton within your domain. I would like to show you both something." Ross huffs out. "Alright then." He walks through the portal. Marik smiles and walks through it as well.
They stepped back out into the medical room and the portal snaps shut. Oichi looks at them. "Have you gotten what you need?" Marik nods and held up Cien's prison. "This is Ebony's father, isn't it?" Jess's eyes widen "Cien…?"
Oichi picks up Ava. "You wanted to enter his portal to bring back Cien?" Marik nods. "Like I told Azaya, I only want what's best for the demon children here. They haven't even unlike their greatest possibly yet. Ava and Jayden included." Oichi frowned. Marik looked at Jess. "Tell young Ebony that I will set her father free but in return…" He held up his black orb. It floats over to Jess. "Tell her that if she ever wishes to speak to me, I will be only a call away." He bows to Oichi and Jess. "Now I shall take my leave." "Wait…you won't forget our deal?" "Of course, not my lady, allow me to get things prepared and I shall have your dragons come to you." He glanced at Ross before snapping his fingers. The flames that were holding Rave floated over to him. Rave crawled on all fours with his head down. Marik took the chain. "We will talk soon." He says opening a poral and leaving.
Once he was gone Oichi sighs out. "I don't get him…he is on that dark witch side isn't he? Why is he being so nice and helping us?" Ross crossed his arms. "I don't know myself. I've spoken to him, and we had…nice…conversations…I tried to get him to tell me where Valeriea was but he wont speak a word. He tells me about everything else other then here. The witch is known to give her servants as much freedom as they want." Oichi nods. "Yes, but as Terrance's mother explained. She does that because she can extract the information they gather and use it against us. She can summon them back to her and even prevent them from speaking about her location…but Zi doesn't look like his under any type of spell so what could he be up to…" Ross sighs. "We just have to wait and see." Jess sighs softly 'so Marik is gonna set Cien free? And for what cost'
A week later, Jess and her husband's finally was able to find a house that was untouched by the quake. very bright and cozy, everywhere there are huge windows overlooking the valley, the house has a spacious living room with a fireplace for large companies and many corners for more private relaxation. Some walls are finished with natural stone – an excellent solution that gives solidity and naturalness to the home. A few words about the territory – it is incredible, with a pool, guest houses and its own grape fields. 9 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, personal office room. Large kitchen, large family room. Jess's, Rick and Chida's room was the master bedroom that was green themed. Aerith's bedroom was mermaid themed, which she had the 2nd largest room. Klaus's room was all game themed, Ebony's room was black and white themed she had the 3rd largest room with a shared bathroom with Aerith. The twin's room was a cute and bunked bed themed. Elvira's nursery was still being made.
Aerith was outside with Klaus, Ebony and the twins running out in the back yard. Jess looked out of the back doors that was open for fresh air, Aerith's Lynx was running around with the kids. Jess chuckled at them, Rick and Chida walked up behind her "Michael will have his room?" Jess nodded "He has the basement room and of Luna and Miles?" Chida chuckled their room has been marked for them to use" Jess smiled "WE should have a cook out… before the school starts" Rick and Chida hugged her "we think it's a good idea" Jess giggled "I was thinking with the grape fields we can make our own wine" Rick and Chida looked at her and smirked "our own families brand?" Jess nodded "Yeah"
At the castle, Takara was sleeping soundly in her room. Yairs was putting on his clothes, brushing himself off. He walked over to Takara's side and smiled placing a hand on her 5-month belly. Next week they would be finding out the gender. He was both excited and nervous mainly for Takara's health. Walking over to the crib her saw Andrew sleeping, snoring slightly. He was a hard sleeper." Reaching down he rubbed his cheek. He then walked out the room closing the door behind him. Two wolf guards were guarding the doors. He refused to have any vampires to watch her while he was away.
He walked down the halls to the underground lab. Normally he would be on his way to class, but Mikey had requested his assistant. Showing his key card, the door opened, and he walked downstairs until he reach the lab. The scientist in the room bows to him as he walked to the main screen. He hit a button that showed Mikey, Zane, and Michi near the sea. They were in high tech water gear. "Mike? Can you hear me?" Mikey held his ear. "Yes, thank you for your help with this. We think we found the source of the signal that is messing with Rex. I don't want you to think we are using you but…" Yaris shook his head. "It's no issue. I will help however I can. Even through a screen I can easily control the water." Mikey nods. "You two ready?" Zane and Michi nods. "Then let's go, this time we are making it to the source down there." Putting on a helmet, it had a camera that record and sent the feedback to the lab. Yairs watched as they dove deeper into the sea. His eyes carefully watching for anything out of the ordinally.
Back in Takara's room, the door opened and a light shines in. Poseidon appeared with gifts in his hands. He smiled to see Takara still sleeping. Placing the gifts in the corner he grabbed a chair and sat down and waited for her to wake.
At Kaci and Ross's, Hannibal was screaming chasing Ross around. Kaci chuckled on the couch with his IPad. Ross was dodging out of the way making Hannibal pout "No MOVE!" he shouted and charged at him. Ross chuckled moved out of the way. Hannibal tripped and landed on his face. Kaci's and Ross's eyes widen has he started to cry, Ross rushed over to him picked him up and checked him over. There was a red mark over his nose "daddy… it hurts…" Ross kissed his nose "Better?" Hannibal; sniffed and nodded then hugged him "GOT YOU!" Kaci laughed "Hahaha! He tricked you! How cute!" Ross chuckled. "Good job."
The doorbell rang making Ross sigh and with Hannibal he went to the front door and opened. He blinked to see Divus and Asherah standing there. Divus was wearing white collar shirt, blue light blazer and black pants with dress shoes. Asherah was wearing a white kurta and white palazzo pants with mustard long cape with embroidered with sequins and Zari leaf design and ivory color heels. Divus smiled "Ross sorry to drop in on you like but may we come in?" He frowned. "Sure whatever…" He says flatly turning away from them. "Kaci we have…visitors…" He says putting Hannibal down.
Kaci blinked at him then gasped to see Divus and Asherah walk in. "Grandma, Grandpa… what a surprise" Asherah chuckled "how are you Kaci dear?" Kaci chuckled "good grandmother, why have you visit?" "Well we are visiting family for the past 2 days and you where next. We just got done seeing Mara and Jack with their little girl.. Ross do you mind if Azaya comes down here?" Kaci frowned "Ross, let them see her…." "They can do whatever they want. It's never stopped them before…" Ross says coldly, sitting down on the couch.
Divus frowns at him "I understand why you don't like me and your grandmother…. It's because of what happen to Paxton isn't it?" Asherah frowns but felt a poke on her leg to see Hannibal staring up at her. She chuckled at him "Hello Hannibal" he flushed and ran over to Ross and latched on his legs all shy making her giggle at him.
Ross rolled his eyes trying to ignore them. "Hardly consider you my grandparents at this point in my life…" Divus sighs softly "I understand…" Asherah frowns "is she still grounded?" Kaci nodded and took out his phone and texted her "She should be down in a sec" Ross grabbed the remote and started flipping through channels mindlessly. They heard footsteps and saw Azaya step inside the living room, she blinked at Divus and Asherah, Divus smiles at her "Hello dear" Asherah smiled "Hello Azaya"
Azaya looked surprised to see them "Grandpa… Grandma what you doing here?" Asherah stood up "to see you, come here" Azaya stepped over, Asherah took her hands and looked at her. Azaya flushed has Asherah chuckled "Very beautiful indeed, Azaya dear your always welcome to heaven. You are family and half angel" "Fallen" Kaci says" Divus chuckled "Your mother isn't a fallen anymore Kaci" Kaci's eyes widen "Wait what?" "you remember? When Adrian was controlled? Delica came to me to restore her angel powers and she's no longer a fallen" Kaci looked shocked "She didn't tell me... me this!" Ross chuckles at him "your just too cute" Kaci pouted at him.
Azaya smiled halfly "I'm allowed in heaven…?" then she frowned "even after I lost my humanity and threaten to destroy hell?" Asherah and Divus frowned at her "Oh Azaya… it wasn't your fault and you should know that by know dear" Azaya smiles "Really?" Asherah nodded. then feeling a portal appear Marik stepped out with a big Kutusita Nyanko Plush Cat. Ross frowned "What the hell?" Marik stopped and looks to see Divus and Asherah standing there. Azaya was smiling brightly at him "Uncle!" she rushed to him and hugging him "It's good to see you!" Kaci chuckles with a smile.
Marik smiles at her then looked at Ross. "Sorry Beel, I know she's grounded but since you took her orb away, I couldn't see her and I missed her." Ross sighs. "Don't push it." He chuckled and looked back at Azaya. "My dear niece. As much as I wish to stay, I came to drop off this gift and to speak to Beel…but…it seems like you have unwanted guest that disgust me so I will take my leave before my mood sours." Azaya blinked and gently took the plush cat "You got this for me? Aww it's cute, you gonna stay uncle?" Divus looks like he was about to say something buy Asherah nudged him making him sighs softly.
Marik rubbed Azaya's head. "I won't be seeing you for a bit. I have a lot to do and I'm about to open the portals back to hell as well as reform the generals and noble lords. As soon as everything is fixed and as soon as your punishment is up, your portals will allow you back into hell again. You are more than welcome to stay as long as you want…provided that it's okay with Beel." Azaya eyes widen and looked Ross "papa? Can I?"
"I'll think about it." Ross says. Azaya giggled and then she gasped "Does… that make me a princess of hell now?" Asherah smiles softly "me and your grandfather always thought of you has princess of hell" Azaya's eyes widen "really?" Divus nodded "yes, all though the demons.. never thought of you has a princess, you're still a vampire princess.. by the way… with Rave…" he looks at Marik. "Spare me with whatever pitiful words you have." Marik says with a frown.
"Oh no, Asherah made me not to… she says what your words love?" Asherah huffed out "That low life deserves what he going through now" Azaya gasps at her. "Also… I'm thinking of spending a year on earth… I need a break from the heavens… to much stress up there even my condition" Azaya and Kaci blinked at her, she chuckled rubbing her tummy making them gasp "Your… pregnant…?" Azaya says softly. Kaci looked more shocked "with your age?" Divus's eyes widen and started to chuckle. Asherah pouted "I'm not that old…."
Marik's mood instantly sour hearing that. "Yes…just want this world needs is another angel throwing their weight around…" A portal opens behind him. "I'll be taking my leave. Good bye Azaya. Beel, I'll contact you later." Ross waves his hand around. Azaya waves "bye uncle!" she watches him leave. Asherah sighs softly "I think we should leave…" Azaya frowns "Please don't … I know papa and uncle don't like you.. but I still do… I know it's not your fault on what happen in the past with uncle Pax and Uncle Zi…" Asherah chuckled "You have a pure soul Azaya even on what happen to you, if you ever need anything you can just let me know, I'll be happy to help you with your angelic powers grow, I know your uncle can help with your demonic powers but I can always help you with your angelic" Azaya flushed "Really?" Divus nods "well let go visit Delica and Adrian" Asherah nodded "good bye Azaya, Hannibal, Kaci and Ross" they both said and left the house.
Ross sighs "finally their gone" Azaya frowned "Why must you hate them? I understand on what happen to Pax and uncle but they didn't know…"
"It doesn't matter if they didn't know. What I have an issue with is that they allowed it happen. They allowed Michael to do whatever the hell he please and I absolutely won't forgive them for what happened." Azaya frowns at him and tears "Don't be like him! Hating family! Why can't you forgive!?" she runs off to her room. Kaci frowns and looks at Ross "remember she is a teenager" Hannibal sniffed "papa… can I have juice?" "Sure, thing buddy." Ross says getting up. He looked at Kaci. "Teenager or not. None of you were there when that happened. My hatred for them will never stop. It can't be solved with some half as apology. It can't be solved by them saying 'Oh we were asleep when it happened.' That makes it even worse."
He sighs and picks Hannibal up. "If anything happened to Semyaza then I doubt she would have the same innocent thoughts. If he was killed because of his love for her then she would understand why Paxton and I feel the way we feel. I'm happy that she doesn't have to go through that but this family has been broken for a long time and I doubt it will ever be fix. The damage was done long ago and nothing can change that." He walked into the kitchen with Hannibal. "Now, let's get you some juice." Kaci sighs softly "I understand babe"
At Delica's, she was looking through her laptop for a new house. The penthouse life was getting to much. She wants a big hard for Iris to run around in and play. Adrian was in the kitchen doing the dishes, Iris was on her unicorn bean bag chair watching DC Super Hero Girls. Iris was in a cute blue DC super hero girl shirt and black skirt with her toe nails painted blue.
The door bell rang making Delica get up and walk to the front door. She opened it and her eyes widen "Mom, dad…" Divus chuckles "can we come in dear?" Delica nodded "Of course, come on in" she stepped aside and walked in. Delica guided them to the living room, Iris looked up and smiled brightly "Nana! Grandpa!" Asherah chuckled "Hello Irish, you've gotten big" Irish giggled at her. Adrian in the kitchen frowned but went back at doing the dishes. Delica motion them over to the couch "So this is a surprise" Divus and Asherah sat down "Yes it is, were going around visiting family" Asherah nodded "how are you, Adrian and Iris doing?" Delica chuckles "good, we are trying another baby…" Asherah smiles brightly "Oh how wonderful! You hoping for a boy?" Delica flushed and nodded. Divus chuckles and seeing Adrian step out and sat down next to Delica holding her hand "so Adrian… you gonna join Zi?" Delica's eyes widen slightly and frowns 'I wish they hadn't ask that…' Iris laughed at her show "GO!" she cheered. Adrian signs out slightly. "It's a given since I have retain my demon powers. Those who didn't side are still human which I'm sure your already aware of…" Adrian says flatly. Asherah nodded "yes we are, love I wish you just don't go up and ask people that" Divus sighs "I Apologize but Delica your mother has news for you" Delica looked at her "mother?" Asherah chuckles and takes her hand and puts it on her tummy making Delica's eyes widen "I'm no longer gonna be the baby of the family… you haven't had.. one since me…" Asherah nodded "I miss having a baby… I'm gonna be staying here on earth for a year.. I can feel in my soul its gonna be a boy" Delica giggled "I'm happy for you mom" Asherah giggles at her.
Irish steps over "daddy can I have a snack?" Adrian smiles "Sure pumpkin, what do you want?" Iris blinked and then grinned with her demon fangs "sushi!" Delica giggled "aww, then daddy has to leave and bring it back. Why don't you go with daddy and you two can have a lunch together" Iris's eyes widen "really?! daddy lets go! Chop chop!" she claps her hands. Delica, Divus and Asherah laughed at her. "Let's get you into some different clothing for our lunch date then." Adrian says picking her up and heading to the room.
"Let's get you into some different clothing for our lunch date then." Adrian says picking her up and heading to the room.
Underwater, Zane, Mikey, and Michi were heading deeper down. "The signal is getting closer." Michi says. "It's faint but I can hear it tingling in my ears." Zane looked around and saw something floating. Swinging to it he grabbed it. "Mikey look at this." He held it up. Mikey swims over to him and grabbed it out his hand. It was light blue and green but he could feel some type of energy pouring through it. "Strange…I think it's some kind of metal." He took out a capsule and placed it in there. "We will analyze it when we get back to the lab. Let's keep going."
Swimming further down, they made it to the bottom of the sea. Michi then saw something weird. "Hey…the sea food is smooth here." Zane frowns. "Okay? So what?" Michi rolls her eyes. "Take a good look stupid. Smooth as in there is nothing there." She points to the spot. Zane blinks. She was right. The sea floor was bear. It had no rocks, bedrock, plants or anything on it. Mikey watched the fishes. He notices them swimming around the space. "Hmmm…." Swimming to the spot he reached out his hand and touched something. "A barrier…? Underwater? Yaris are you getting this?"
"Yes, it is in fact a water barrier. I can open it just a little for you. I can't see what's behind it so it's better to be safe." "Understood. Do it." Mikey says.
In the lab, Yaris eyes glowed. Through the screen he opened a small hole allowing them to slip through. Once Zane was through last, the commutation cut off and the screen went blank. His eyes widen as the hole seals back up. "Mikey? Mikey can you hear me!?" He got nothing. Closing his eyes, he searched the seas trying to locate them but he got nothing. "This…might be a problem…" One of the scientists looked at him. "Should we contact Lady Oichi?" "No…not right now. She's visiting Sakamoto's New grave today. I don't want to call her yet. Let's wait and see for now." They nodded waiting nervously.
At the beach Ebony wearing a black sunflower themed bikini, was sitting under a beach umbrella watching Ayden and Shamir in the water with little baby Scott in a new born swimming float. Softly moving him around. Ebony giggled at them. Her mind went into her imagination, daydreaming of her and Ayden one day having a family. What came up first was her having twin boys first. She sighs with a dreamy smile. Then feeling something, she snapped out of her day dream and seeing Marik knelling next to her making her gasp softly. "Looks like you're having a good dream there. Must be nice." He says chuckling.
Ebony flushed and bowed her head "My Lord, what a surprise… what can I do for you?" "I just came to show you something right quick."
Ebony blinked "what do you mean?" then she's sees him taking something that felt her father's demonic aura from. Her eyes widen "papa…." "This is the prison your father is in. I plan to set him free." Ebony's eyes widen "you do? But why?"
"I told you the last time we meet is that all I want is to be your friend and I hope that by freeing your father, you will place more trust in my words." Ebony sniffed and started tearing happily "Oh my lord this means so much to me… I really do miss my father" out in the water, Ayden hears Ebony crying and looked up to see Marik next to her.
"That must be the guy Jayden was talking about…" Shamir looks. "He is quite handsome. Are you going to check on Ebony?" Ayden chuckles and smiles. "No, I don't feel any hostile intention from him and from the way she's crying…she's happy. I wonder what he said that made her so happy." Scott blinks and starts getting fussy. It made Shamir panic a bit. "Don't worry he just wants some attention." Ayden says keeping his eyes on Marik.
Back on the beach Marik stand up and looks out to the water. He chuckles. "Seems like your boyfriend is much cool headed then I gave him credit for. Still very cautious." He looked at Ebony. "I will get to work opening this prison and I hope you would consider being one of the few who will join my court one day. Not as a general but as one of the nobles. I don't need the old ones who can't look into the future. I want new ones who will accept change. Keep that in mind." Ebony's eyes widen "Join your court…? Has a demon noble?" she flushed at the idea.
He opens a portal. "Oh…I'm not sure if she forgot…but talk to your aunt. I gave her an orb that will allow you to contact me if you want to talk. Should you need for anything call me though the orb and I'll come to you right away." He says with a smile. "See you later." He says walking through the Portal.
Ebony got up and walks over to the Ayden and Shamir, Ayden smiles at her "You alright?" Ebony nodded with a smile "he's gonna set my father free… and… he wants me to be apart of his court.. like a demon noble…" she flushes.
Ayden hums out. "Is that so…" Shamir smiles. "Congratulations. That's good right?" Scott did a small baby sound. Shamir smiles at him. Ayden looks at Ebony. "Well, I'm happy for you. You get to spend more time with your dad once he is freed." Ebony giggles "I'm sure he will like you Ayden"
Shamir took some water and gently pours some on Scott's legs. His eyes widen at that and smiles. "Aw! I think he likes it." Ayden chuckled at him. Ebony giggles "awww how cute!"
Deep down under the sea, Mikey opens his eyes and rubbed his head. "That hurt…" He looked to see Michi and Zane waking up as well." "Where are we?" Zane asks. Looking around their eyes widen to see a underwater city." "What the hell is this!?" Zane says loudly. "There is a whole city under here? Right under Xacron!?"
Mikey starts to swim towards it but when he did he got his with a beam that shocked him. He screams out and passes out. Michi gasps. "Mikey!" She and Zane swam to them only to also get shocked. They floated down to Mikey. Right before they closed their eyes they could see figures floating over them.
At the castle, Takara was now up and eating a homemade lunch that Poseidon made." He was sitting beside her sipping on some tea. She hums out eating a waffle with soy sauce on it. Poseidon chuckle. "Soy sauce huh. Yaris loves that." Takara blushes. "yes…he eats it on almost everything and so does mama…" "Ooo a double whammy huh." Takara smiles. "Um…may I ask why you're here?" "To come see you and my grandchild of course." Takara looked down. "You aren't mad because of my human blood…" Poseidon frowns. "No my dear. Of course not. Don't let Tabitha's words get to you. I am proud to call you my daughter and Law and I happy welcome you to my family. I hope you let me show you off to my brothers. I love calling Hades and bragging about how cute you are. I even have pictures of you as a baby." Takara blushed. "You do!?" Poseidon chuckled. "I do and I plan to rub my grandchild in his face to. I bet he will be so adorable." Takara giggled.
Out in the forest, Oichi was visiting Sakamoto. He was placed beside Makoto now. She sighs looking at his body. "Oh Saki…I'm glad your home." She placed a hand on his coffin. He looked so peaceful laying there. She turned to Makoto who still looked the say way the day she passed away. Oichi smiles at them both. "I hope you two are looking out for each other. I miss you both…"
Her beads beeps. She sighs and took a bead off her wrist. Placing it in her ear she tapped it. "Yes?" "Oichi…um… I'm sorry to disturb you but we may have a problem...Can you come to the lab?" Oichi sighs. "I'm on the way…" She took one last look at Sakamoto and walked off to the lab.
Ziana in Mikey's lab was working out a simulation Mikey made for her, to improve her fighting skills. She was in a hi tech suit that read all her vitals in the simulation machine. All sound was blocked from the outside, Yairs in the lab watching over her battle in the simulation and was pretty impressive on how she's defeating simulated hunters.
He sighs and heads back to the main computer and tried to contact Mikey. Oichi soon walked in. "What's going on?" She asked joining him at the screen. "I've lost contact with Mikey, Zane, and Michi…they were exploring the deep sea looking for the sound that was messing with Rex's system." Oichi frowned as she tried to sense the group. When she couldn't she sighs and hit the button on the computer. "I need the underwater search team to head to the beach front immediately." Her voice rings out through the castle. "This is a search and rescue mission." She frowns. "Brother where are you…"
"Simulation complete" they heard from behind them of the computer, they turned to see the simulation machine powered down and Ziana stepped out. She blinked and smiled at Oichi "queen Oichi hello" then she sniffs and frown "What's going on? You all smell tense and worried…"
"We lost contact with Mikey, Michi, and Zane." Oichi says as she starts to type at the computer. "It may have to do with the signal that has been messing with Rex." Ziana's eyes widen 'Mikey…' "My Mikey is missing..?!" then she flushed at what she has said 'my mikey….'
Oichi kept typing, trying to isolate the signal where they last contacted Mikey at. "There. Hopefully they can find some trace of them." She bit the back of her nail. "Mom is gonna be pissed at me if I really lost Zane…and Rose…I don't want to worry her." She sighs. "If we can't find them at the end of the day, I'll have to go over to Rose's and Nate's to tell." Yaris frowns. "May I join the search team. I may be able to find them." Oichi nods. "Go on. Keep me updated." Yaris nods and rushes out of the lab.
A mile where Ebony, Ayden and Shamir was. Gabriel and his family where having a family picnic. The area was a Boho inspired outdoor picnic theme.

Cara giggled "Pop! juice?!" she offered him juice. Zozo chuckled "Aww thank you" he took it. Astaroth walked up "hey everyone" they smile at her and waved saying Hi, Cara gasped and giggled "granny!" Astaroth giggled "Aww so cute" she sat down "Where's Ebony?" Mara asked. "Oh she's with Aydan, Shamir and their godson"
Gabriel sighs softly "so we have homemade sandwiches from Haniel and I brought some sushi rolls" Astaroth and Zozo chuckles "Sounds good!" Jack looks at his father "Father when you gonna get your arm fixed…?" Zozo sighs "I'm in a line for a Bionic arm, Zach will perform the surgery"
Vogrin hummed softly "so Azaya really did that to you?" Lyle frowned slightly. Zozo nodded "Yeah…" Haniel's breathes softly "does anyone know how she is doing?" Mara blinked "I heard form Kaci.. she joined uhm the anti Christ and took over hell" their eyes widen at her. Vogrin looked shocked "she was there….?" Mara nodded. Ashtaroth frowns "me and Zozo left hell before it happened…" Zozo nodded "we lost faith with in our lord in how the way he treated Ross and his family…" Ashtaroth nodded "If the new king of hell asked me to join him I will" Gabriel took a bit of his sandwich "I guess it's for the best brother lost… needs a wake up call…" they all seem to nod in agreement.
In Bern, Valeriea was reading her book in bed. She had Alcaeus out running some errands. There was a knock at the door and Xavier walked in with Walter. Who was wearing a brown jacket and pants with no shoes. He smiled looking at Valeriea. His tail wags with happiness. "Hi!" He yelled. Valeriea closed her book. "I see he is starting to talk." Xavier walked up and placed him on the bed. Walter dropped on all fours looking around the room. "He can say hi, wave bye, and is working on how to say mama. I've been teaching him." Walter crawled up to Valeriea and wiggled his way into her lap and hums out. "He likes your smell. Cute. He loves cuddling up to Phoenix and his sister."
Valeriea chuckled and ruffled Walter's hair and then scratch behind his ear making him squeal in delight. "How have you been?" Xavier asked. Valeriea sighs. "It's starting. My Magic is leaving me. I have enough for maybe a year…" Xavier frowns. "I see…are we still going with the plan?" Valeriea nods. "Let Lady Phoenix know about Crissy. Find her within the year." Xavier nods. "And the boy?" Valeriea frowned. "I am done with him. Once I drain his magic I'll hand him over to Marik." "I see…and about the seal? In the lake?" Valeriea smirked. "I will unlock it soon." She suddenly moved Walter to the side making him blink. She quickly got up and headed to the bathroom. Xavier frowned and went after her. Walter sat on the bed with a confused look until her spotted his feet. He started to kick them in and out. He laughed, playing with his feet.
Xavier went in the bathroom to see Valeriea throwing up. His eyes widen. "Val…are you?" She sighs using magic to bring over a small wash rag. "I am…I found out this morning." "Does he know?" "No, I have a spell over me right now." Xavier frowned. "Why don't you come stay with me and Phoenix? You have no one to help you here anymore…those dragons are worthless, Keily has disappeared and so has Lilith…those vampires you used failed you and those Vermont maggots, well…you took their souls didn't you…" Valeriea sighs. "I am fine Xavier…I've always been alone…ever since that day…I'm accustomed to it by now. In the end…I always end up alone." Xavier sighs and helps her up. "If you say so Val. You witches have gave me a new spark in life. I'd hate to lose you both." "That is why you have plan B for me." She walks over to the sink and cleaned her mouth out. "Would you like me to tell Phoenix?" "Do what you like silly Vampire." Xavier chuckled. "Then, even if you don't want me to, I'll come check on you, and bring you reports you know." Valeriea nods and waves bye to him.
Xavier walks into the room to see Walter playing with his feet. He chuckled. "You are quite the cheer full baby. Let's get you home to your mom." Walter eyes sparkled. "Mmmmm!" Xavier smiled. "Ma!" Walter yelled. "MA! MA! MA!" "Yes. Yes. Good job! Wait til she hears you haha." He picks Walter up. Valeriea walks in and gets back in bed. "Thank you for your service Xavier." Xavier bows to her. "Thank you for allowing me to have the time of my life." He walked out and closed the door behind him.
Later the day, Ebony, Ayden with Shamir and Scott took a small golf cart ride to where her grandparents were. Reaching the area, they headed towards the picnic area. Seeing everyone there, Gabriel was first to notice them. He smiled "Ebony! Ayden! Shamir welcome, please come on sit, have something to eat. Ayden chuckled "I'm hungry" Ebony smiled and pulled him over, Shamir steps over and sat down with Scott who was fast asleep. Ebony had cast a cool spell on him so Scott wouldn't get to hot from the hot weather today.
sitting at the table, Ebony and Ayden right away started to get something to eat. Astaroth chuckles "So how are you Ebony?" Ebony smiles "Good oh… uhm Lord Zi came to see me" they looked at her with a confused look. Ayden chuckles "the anti-Christ" their eyes widen at her. "Really he did?" "what did he want?" Astaroth and Zozo asked. Ebony nodded "Yeah he just wanted to talk.. he wanted me in his court has a demon noble…" Astaroth gasps softly "Well you are my granddaughter…."

In the Castle, Poseidon was helping Takara change into fresh clothes. She was blushing at the fact that she couldn't put her own clothes on anymore without help. "No need to be shy dear. Your 5 months and you shouldn't stress yourself." Takara smiles. "T-Thank you um…d-dad…" Poseidon eyes lit up and he hugged her. "You are so cute! Adorable! Why couldn't you have waited until you were older so I could marry you instead!" Takara laughed. Until another light came through the window. "Father…" Poseidon frowned and let Takara go. "What? You're ruining my time with my daughter in law…" The light turned into a human. Takara saw a very handsome man with long blue hair, pointy ears, and clear blue eyes.
"You are needed. I came to get you." Poseidon got up. "Oh for peaks sake…" "Um Lord Poseidon?" Takara asked a little nervous. "Oh…don't worry dear this is Yaris older brother Triton." Takara looked at him and their eyes locked. Triton eyes widen slightly and his cheeks turned red. He quickly turned away. "H-Hello…Princess Takara…" "Hello." She flashed a cute smile. "It's nice to meet you." Triton felt his chest tighten. "Father we should go. Goodbye Princess…." He says quickly with a flushed face. He turned back to a light and left the room. Poseidon sighs. "Oh my sweet Takara. Your beautiful is very intoxicating." He kisses her forehead. "I will see you later dear. Get lots of rest." He walked to the window and disappeared. Takara looked a bit confused and rubbed her belly. She smiles. "I can't wait for you to get here…"

At the Brittany and Tiffany salon, Kalmin was there. He was getting his hair cut and dyed. Tiffany smiles. "So have you decided what you were going to do yet?" She asked washing his hair. "No…not really. I don't know what I want to do…" "Why don't you be a hair stylist." "I don't know how to do hair…its looks hard." Brittany walked over. "Tiff stop that! Kal needs to figure out what he wants to do. Don't go pushing him towards your ideas." Tiffany pouted. "I'm just trying to help." Brittany sighs. "Kal maybe you should talk to Oichi about enrolling you into collage? Maybe by looking at what they have to offer you can start down some career path?" "Mom seems so busy…" "Trust me, she drops everything for you guys." "W-What if I asked uncle Rick? I feel like I bother her to much…" The twins looked at each other then back down to him. "Sure you can but I don't know what he could help you with. Not bad mouthing him or anything but…" Kalmin smiles. "I don't want to bother mom. Maybe talking to uncle Rick will ease me a little about my future."
The twins shrug. "You do you Kal…let's move on to pressing matters." Tiffany sits him up and starts drying off his hair. "Let's talk about you getting a girlfriend!?" Kalmin's face turned red. "W-What!? N-No I don't know any girls…" "We can introduce you to some! Oh we can set you up on a blind date!" Tiff says with sparkling eyes. Brittany chuckled. "You're a handsome guy Kal. Girls are already drooling all over you. Look." Kalmin glances over and saw nearly all the girls in the shop staring at him with a blushing face. He turned his eyes away from them. "W-W-W-W-Why are they all looking at me…" Tiffany hugged him. "Because you are the cutest and most handsome boy ever! Don't worry Cousin Tiff is going to make you look amazing! You'll be a woman killer in no time!" Brittany laughs at his flustered face. "How cute."

Chida and Jess blinked at what he was doing has he opened the doors and walked in. they followed him to see a large sitting area with four comfy chairs in a circle on a white rug. They can see a coffee and breakfast counter in the back right corner and wooden stairs going up. Rick stepped over to the stairs "Come on" Jess sighs "what is the surprise?

In the forest, at the mini houses, Jayden, Kaleb, Alisha, Naomi, Tozrith, and Marcelles were under the houses in the water cave. Holding hands Alisha and Naomi jumped off the small cliff and cannon ball into the water. Jayden and Kaleb clapped. "Woo! 10 out of 10!" Kaleb says. "I give it a 6 at best." Naomi came back up. "WHAT!? Don't downplay our twin cannon ball!" She swam to him fast making him gasp. He swam away from her. "Help! A shark is after me!" He called out. Kaleb laughed as Alisha pops up and jumps on his back. "Kaleb!" He grins. "You a shark to?" "No I just wanted to jump on you." She hugs him tightly making him chuckle. Tozrith was sitting on the side with his feet in the water watching the siblings play. Marcelles sat beside him. "You and Kaleb huh?" Tozrith chuckled. "Yup." "Mhmm…" He sighs and sinks into the water.
"What's your impression of my brother?" Tozrith blinks. "Which one?" "Don't be stupid…" Tozrith sighs. "Lord Zi came to talk to me the other day…he asked if I wanted to take my father's place as a general." "What you say?" "I said yes, but I told him that I'm still a kid…I already feel intimidated with all those adults there. I worry that I'm not worth that spot…Adrian or one of my other siblings should get it. He then rubbed my head." Tozrith placed a hand on his head. "It was warm…he said that I would grow into the spot and that I would make a fine general." Marcelles hums out. "I see…I guess he isn't so bad after all…Ross talks to him a lot. I don't know if he talked to Maire yet but then again, she and mama are the only ones who made a fuss about dad…" He looked up at the ceiling. "He was a shitty father and even shitter grandfather. He was never the same after being reviled and it took Azaya losing her humanity to make those other fools see that." Tozrith chuckled. "True but he also put Hell first. That is one thing that never changed. The one thing I admired about him. Hopefully Lord Zi will be able to do better."
"Hey you two!" They looked over to the siblings. "Talk later! Come over here!" Alisha held up a ball. "Come on! Come on! Let's play!" She says rocking side to side. Her breast nearly popped out of her bathing suit. Marcelles cheeks turned red getting turned on. "I swear it's like she's teasing me." Tozrith laughs as Naomi tackled Alisha into the water. "Stop rocking like that! Your boobs will pop out!" Alisha laughs. "Like we never swam nude before." Naomi's face turned red. "That not the point clueless sister!" She pulled her cheeks. "Not in front of the boys!" Alisha flailing her hands. "Okay! Okay!" She yells out, tearing a bit. Tozrith jumps in and swims over to them. He grabs the ball. "Stop bullying your sister. Let's play."
At Jess's new house, Michael was inside looking out at the kids. Alexis was with him. She was in her play pen taking a nap, Elvira was in her bassinet also taking a nap. Hearing foot steps behind him he turned to see Yuki there. Michael smiled "Yuki" Yuki frowned "Why haven't you been home…?" Michael frowned "I'm still Jess's familiar and house keeper… I watch the kids when she and the twins aren't around which I don't mind" Yuki sighs "I see that, very loyal… you still want her don't you?" Michael bites his lip "What has that got to do with he way your acting… you said you didn't care about my love of Jess.. if you think I don't love you, your dead wrong because I do" Yuki sits down "But not has much has Jess?" Michael narrowed at him but looked at Alexis and Elvira sleeping "This is not the place to start an argument with me…" Yuki looked at the babies sleeping then sighs softly. He gets up "please come home tonight? I miss waking up next to you" Michael flushes and nods "I'll come home tonight" Yuki stepped over and they both meet half and kissed deeply. Yuki says his goodbyes and leaves, Michael sighs and sits down on the couch.

Michael just shrugged, she sighs again "maybe you should talk to the twins about you liking mother" know he knew it was half Alex and Aerith talking. Michael nods "Go back outside, the twins are attacking on Klaus" Aerith's eyes widen looks outside to see Klaus being ganged up on by Draco and Harley. Aerith giggled and rushed outside to safe Klaus.
At Terrance and Nia's, they were outside having their own family picnic. Maire and Ty were still staying with them since their apartment was damaged in the quake. Rhea was running around with a floral shirt with blue jeans and flats. Jaliyah was half running half flying with her tiny dragon wings out. She was wearing a white and pink rose dress and white flats. "Gonna get you!" She yelled with Rhea screaming and laughing. Nia and Maire were sitting on a blanket giggling at them. "So cute." Terrance and Ty were in the house getting the food ready. "Are the others coming?" Maire asked. Nia nods. "Yes, but I told Terry that if River wasn't feeling up for it, he didn't have to come. She has to be careful you know." Maire nods and sighs. "I wish me, and Ty could have another baby…" Nia smiles and snuggles her. "Aw Maire. Don't worry you will pregnant before you know it. Promise you." She pokes Maire in her belly. "I wouldn't be surprised you have a tiny bun in your oven right now." Maire blinks. Nia points to her nose. Maire gasps. "R-Really!?" She yelled loudly. Rhea and Jaliyah stopped running. "Mama?"
Maire looked at them. "It's nothing honey. Go on and play honey." The girls smiled and started to run around. Nia started to laugh, making her pout. "That was very mean…" Nia smiles brightly. "I'm sorry dear. You are just so cute when you got all excited!" She hugged Maire. "It will happen soon. Just be patience." Maire smiles and nods." "Grandma!" Nia heard screaming. She looked up to see Amy and Malcom running to her. Eric and Jack were walking up with bags of food. "Hi my cute grands!" Amy and Malcom jumped on her hugging. She smiled kissing their cheeks. "Go on and play, okay?" They nodded and joined Rhea and Jaliyah. "Hi boys!" Maire says waving. "Hey maire." Jack says. "Sup." Eric says looking around. "Where is dad and Ty?" "Kitchen, make yourself useful and go help. We moms are watching the kids." The boys grown but walks inside.
A demon portal opened, and Kayla walked out with a car seat and Clark walked out with the other. "Yay! The twins are here!" Nia got up and went to them. Kayla smiles. "Hi mom." Clark smiled to. "Hello Ms. Nia." "Hi dears! Let me see those cute twins of yours!" Clark blushed hearing that and turned the car seats around. Charity and Ryker were both awake. Charity was wearing a white dress with a poke-a-dot bottom. The top said 'I love my twin brother.' Ryker was wearing a blue one piece that said, 'I love my twin sisters.' They smiled at Nia. "Nana!" They both yelled. Nia giggled as Clark and Kayla took them out. They both ran over to Nia and hugged her legs. "Aww! I can't believe you both just turned one a few weeks ago!" She picks them up and cuddles them. "I love all my grandbabies!"
Another demon portal opened, and Marco walked out with Kim, holding hands. Marie frowns but then smiles. "Hi Marco…" Marco frowned. "…Hi Maire…" Kim leans on him more. "Can we not make this awkward? I really want to have a fun day with the family." Marie sighs. "I know. I'm sorry. Don't worry I'm happy that Marco found someone. Take care of him." Kim nods. "I plan to." Marco blushed rubbing his head. Nia smiles. "I can't wait for you to pop out some grands for me to." It was Kim's turn to blush. "Mom! Please!" They laughed at her. "Boys got help Terrance and the others in the kitchen. The moms are watching the kids. Clark and Marco nods and head inside the house. Kim started to play with the kids while Kayla sat beside Nia. The twins ran over to the group ready to play. "So cute!" Nia says taking pictures. "Getting into picture taking?" Kayla asked. "Yes, it's for Terrance's mother. We had a talk yesterday and she wanted to get to know our family more. After all if Terrance consider all of you his kids so does she. So, I'm making a picture book for her!" She snaps more pictures of the kids.
Hearing some kind of humming noise's they turn to see a Hummer that was hovering off the ground. Nia raised her eyebrow as the hummer stopped and parked in midair.. The door's open and Terry got out, and moved to the side the passenger's side open it up and helping River out, she was 6 months pregnant. The back doors open and the twins came out both holding Jareth and Xena. Valora and Esme where wearing matching tank tops that there different colors and same color denim shorts with sandals. Xena was wearing a cute floral top, shorts and shoes. River wearing maternity skinny jeans and tan tank top with a blue kimono cardigan.
Valora put down Xena who looked around and sees Nia. she grins and ran towards her screaming "Nanna!" River sighs "Xena careful hunny!" Valora and Esme chuckles at her. Jareth in Esme's arms kicked "Down!" Esme chuckles and put down Jareth who ran towards Nia "Nana!"
Nia smiles as she gets up and scoops them in her arms. "Hi my little dragons." She cuddled them making them laugh. Terry looked over at Kim and the kids. "Seems like Eric and Jack actually came." "Of course. When is the last time we spent a day as a family." Nia says putting the kids down. "Go on and play dears." They giggled and ran off to Kim and the other kids.
"Ter, go get the comfy seat from inside for River. I don't want her sitting on the ground. "Sure thing mom." He kissed River cheek and went inside. Nia smiled at the twins. "Hi dearies. Did your grandfather tell you the news?" They blinked at her. "No?" They said together. Nia chuckled. "So cute. Your great grandmother Anastasia is allowed to come visit us now. Though she can only come here and she has to wear a special neck collar to prevent her from transforming. But she was more then happy to accept those terms. She really missed you two." They gasped "Really?!" they both gasped at the same time.
Terry came out with a brown maternity sofa chair. He placed it beside the picnic blanket. "I remember this. You got it when you were pregnant with Jaliyah. It's really comfortable. River come sit." He says patting the chair. River smiles and sat down "thank you hunny"
"Dad said the food is almost done." Nia smiles wonderful. Looking at River she smiled. "So River. How are your parents and your niece doing? They are always welcome to come to our little functions when they aren't busy." River chuckles "Oh they are doing good, there busy with mission and stuff. My niece is out searching for her father…" River frowned "He went missing…" "Oh. That's a shame" Nia said.
"Oh Terry! The reveal thing the twins made" Terry chuckles and rushes off to the car "We found out the twin's genders so the girls made something to show the whole family" Valora and Esme giggles "Yeah!" "How cute." Nia says sitting back down on the blanket. "How exciting." Marie says with a giggle. Kayla nods looking out at the kids. Terry came back with two homemade boxes that where connected together, that A and B on it. Valora and Esme went over to him and helped him put it on a tree branch.
River smiles at them and then breathes softly, the girls looked at her "Their moving" River says with a smile. The girls smiled and chuckled at her.
River smiles "the girls having been getting along with Luke and Aaron, the twin sons for Errier. There gonna transfer to Xacron academy" "That's good. Terrance was worried about it. Then again he worries about all the kids. He's like a big teddy bear with claws."
Suddenly, Anastasia appeared near them with a guard. She was wearing a cute champagne summer dress with a hat. Nia got up and walked over to them. "Ana. Hello!" Anastasia smiled. "Hello Nia." Nia looked at the guard. "How long can she stay?" "The rest of the day. I will come back for her tonight." Nia nods as the guards teleports away.
Nia looked at the collar on her neck. "I wish you didn't have to wear that." Anastasia smiles softly. "It is fine. It's a small price to pay. I just want to spend time with my family." Nia nods and leads her to everyone. The kids stopped and their eyes widen at Anastasia. Rhea smiles with flushed cheeks. "Ooo! She pretty!" Jaliyah smiles. "Nana's here!" She flew over to Anastasia faster then she wanted to. Nia gasps. "Jaliyah!"
Anastasia chuckled and opened her arms catching Jaliyah, but the force knocked her down and she fell on her butt. She laughed. "Quite powerful." Nia frowned. "Jaliyah! I told you about flying that fast. You could have hurt yourself!" Jaliyah looks down. "Sorry mama…Sorry nana…" Anastasia giggled and cuddled her. "It's okay." Rhea and the other kids ran to her. "You okay lady?" Rhea asked. Marie chuckled. "That's your great grandmother honey." "Oooo…Hi granny!" Valora and Esme smiled brightly "Nanna Ana!" they rushed over hugging her "WE missed you!" Xena gasped "Nanna!" she rushed over to her, Jareth rushed over too "Nanna guess, what guess what!"
"What is it little one?" "Today we are gonna find out babies!" he shouted. River chuckled "the gender of the twins" she rubs her pregnant tummy. Anastasia chuckled. "So, I'm right on time. How exciting." She gets up and brushes her dress off. She let go of Jaliyah who floats back down. "I see a lot of new faces here. All of your grandchildren?" She asked Nia. "Yours to. We have a big family now. That's Amy and Malcom. Jack and Eric's kids." "Hi!" Malcom says. "Hello!" Amy says smiling. "The twins are Charity and Ryker. Kayla's twins." The twins were holding hands. "Hi…" They said shyly. "They just turned 1 on the 10th and the cutie staring up at you is Rhea. Marie's daughter." Rhea smiled brightly. "That's me! I Rhea!" She says waving. Anastasia laughs. "They are all adorable."
The door to the house opened, Jack and Eric came out holding tables and chairs. Clark walked out with a platter of sandwiches and a big bowl of fruit salad. Marco walked out with three large pitchers of lemonade along with cups. Finally, Terrance came out with desserts. He smiled seeing his mother. "Mother, you made it." Anastasia picked up Rhea who giggled. "Yes. I'll be staying all day." "How wonderful. Terry help your brothers set up."
Terry nods and the boys quickly get the tables and chairs set up. Ty ran back and grabbed another table to put all the food on. Nia looked at the spread of food that was still coming out. "Wow honey. You made a lot!" Terrance chuckled. "Of course, I did and there is more in the kitchen should I need to refill everything." He looked at River. "River. How are you feeling today?" River smiled at him "I'm doing good, after food we are gonna reveal the gender of the twins" "Alright. Can't wait to see the genders." Terrance says chuckling.
Valora and Esme chuckles and picked up Xena and Jareth sitting them down "Behave you two" they said, Xena pouted "Me Dragon warrior me no behave!" River raised her eyebrow at her, Terry finishing helping looked at Xena "Xena" her eyes widen at him "You wont behave huh? Then I guess no desert for you later" Xena gasped and looked down "Me behave…" Nia chuckled. "So adorable."
Once everything was set up everyone got a plate to eat. Anastasia was looking at her plate with a bit of confusion. In her holding room she got to request what she wanted to eat so some of the food was still strange to her. Terrance looked at her. "Mother are you alright?" "Yes…these…sandwiches…what is the white stuff on it?" She asks lifting the bread. "Mayo. Try it." Anastasia hums out and takes a bite out of it. "hmm…" Nia chuckled. "Not to your liking?" "Its…strange…" Kayla handed her some without mayonnaise." Anastasia smiled. "Thank you. Do you have those things um…they are green and really long?" Terry tilts his head. "A pickle?" "No, it's something else…" "Celery?" Ty asked. "No…kinda? It goes in those yummy salads." "A zucchini?" Marie asked. "I don't know what that is but no…um…" She blushed. "I'm sorry…the food here is very different. I have a hard time remembering things."
Terrance chuckled. "Don't worry about its mother. Can you describe it another way?" "I think so…when I first got it, Lady Oichi cut it up for me and she put salt and this white dressing on it." River quickly snaps her finger. "A cucumber!? Oichi loves thoses." Anastasia smiles brightly. "Yes, I believe that was it. Do you have some of that? May I place it on my sandwich?" Terrance got up. "I'll go check for you. I'll be right back." "Thank you dear." Eric looked at her. "You know if you use a learning pod you would be up to date on everything in this time." Anastasia smiles sadly. "I know…but maybe in a year or so…I'll be gone. So there is no need to waste that on me." They frowned at what she said. Giving her worried looks.
"What do you mean by that?" Terry asked. Anastasia shook her head. "I'd rather not go into details. It's a fun and happy time. I don't won't to be a downer." Nia sighs. "We can talk about it later but Ana…you are family. You don't have to carry everything by yourself. We are here to help, okay?" Anastasia smiles and nods. "Thank you for that." River was right away eating two big sandwiches "Oh Terry! My fruit!" Terry's eyes widen and quick rushed to the car then back with a container of dragon fruit was cute up in cubes, placing them on the table he opened it and River with chops stick right away took one and eat it "Mhmmm so yummy, the twins sure do love it when I eat dragon fruit" they all chuckle at her.
After food, everyone standing around. River and Terry where under the reveal boxes the girls made. Xena was clapping her hands "Pull! Pull!" Jareth giggles "hurry!" Valora and Esme chuckles at them.
River looks at Terry who grinned at her and with a hard pull both boxes open and both reveal blue balloon's and glitter. Xena gasped, Jareth screamed clapping his hands "brothers!" Valora and Esme giggled "Twin boys wow"
Nia claps her hands together. "More boys in the family. How lovely." Anastasia smiled holding the twins. "Congratulations you two." She sighs. "These gender reveals are so cute. I wonder if your father would agree to have another child so we can do one." Terrance choked on his drink. Nia laughed patting his back. Valora and Esme giggled at him. River smiled and walks over to her chair and sat down.
As the day went on, it was soon night fall. In the lab, Oichi was still at Mikey's computer. She rubbed her eyes. Yaris and the search teams couldn't find anything. She was video calling both Rose and Frank to tell them the news. She didn't want them to worry but she didn't want to keep then out of the loop. The chat rings twice for Frank. He picked up quickly. "Oichi. Hello. Your calling late." Rose also picked up a second later. "Oichi. Hi! You look a little tired."
Oichi smiles softly and then frowned. Frank knew something was wrong. "Is everything okay?" Oichi links her fingers together. "Um…no not exactly…its about my brothers and Michi…" Rose frowns holding Athena "Oichi is going on?" Frank frowns "Oichi…"
"Earlier today, they were searching for a signal that had been messing with Rex's systems. They dived underwater with Yaris guiding them. They reached a spot and then…we lost all contact with them…" Rose and Frank's eyes widen "What?" Rose shouted making Athena cry. Rose bounced her. Frank shook "pleas tell me your gonna go find them…"
"I have teams searching for them and even Yaris is helping but we can't sense them. We tried to pinpoint their locations but we found nothing so at this time I've declared Mikey, Zane, and Michi missing…" Rose bites her lip "Zane….. I can feel he's still alive…. Oichi he's still alive!" "Yeah…but we don't know for how long…we don't know what danger they could be in…I don't want to upset you both. All I am saying is prepare yourself. I'm not gonna stop until I find them. I promise." Ziana tears "Mikey…."
At phoenix' hideout, Xavier was staring out the window lost in thought. He had Walter over his shoulder sleeping, nibbling slightly on him. One of his spies dropped down behind him. "Lord Xavier…I have brought news." "Speak." "We have gather information on the woman Crissy. However, it will take a lot of resources…" " I don't care how much it takes. Find her and bring her to me." "But my lord…we…" Xavier eyes glowed and turned to his spy. The spy shook. "A-As you command my lord…" He disappeared. Xavier frowned and looked back out the window. Then hearing a sudden boom, like a magic bomb had went off, luckily Walter did not stir. He frowned and stepped over to the door and looked out it, dark witch coven leader was down on the ground on her knells and dark circle under her glowing. Phoenix in her high neck beaded black gothic gown and black heels. Her hand was out in a clawing motion with dark evil look her in eyes "How dare you just now tell me!?" Xavier shivers "Ooo what's going on here?" Phoenix not looking she narrows at the dark coven leader "apparently she took her time in telling me Darcaniea no longer follows me…" the dark witch coven leader groans in pain "Forgive me my lady… but there is a reason….." Phoenix narrowed "Oh really… Oliver take her to Luther. He must still be hungry" the witch's eyes widen "NO please!" Oliver pulled her up has she was pulled away.
Phoenix sighs and sat down, Aubrie in her gothic like bassinet was fast a sleep. She reached down and picked her up and cuddled her. "How dare she turn against me…" "Mhmm…so are you going to let her be? I doubt she has many trusted allies." Xavier asked as Walter woke up slightly. Phoenix sighs "I don't know… I have no idea where she and that wolf went too… after all I did for her she goes and double crosses me?"
Xavier holds up Walter cradling him in one arm. "Then I suppose this will be a bad time to talk? On a very serious note?" Phoenix looks at him "bad time to talk? What is love?" she frowns "Your not leaving me are you….?" Xavier chuckles. "My darling. Nothing will ever cause me to leave your side. I am yours forever, if you'll have me." Phoenix flushes then frowns "SO what is this bad news?"
Xavier then frowns. "It is about Valeriea…she is currently pregnant with the anti-Christ child. Though he has no idea yet…I wanted her to come here since all of her captured allies are either worthless or gone but she insisted on staying by herself." Phoenix was shocked by this "Really know?"
"…She is also…losing her magic. She knew it would be a side affect at the cost of the Immortality potion she used. She has about a year before its fully depleted. Before that happens she is going to use Alcaeus to drain his magic. She thought you would be a little busy with unsealing Luther so she had a plan B. This will drain a lot of her magic but she plans to go through it regardless. Lastly…there is a favor she wanted to ask you…for if…for when…she gets captured. Its my final order from her." Phoenix frowns "your last order from her….?"
"I don't know how much you know about Crissy, but right before you got there, Valeriea injected her with the very last bit of Alcaeus seed mixed with hers." Phoenix eyes widen slightly. "You mean…" Xavier nods. "Crissy is carrying or rather has already had the child of Val and Alcaeus. He doesn't know and she doesn't want the child to know about her yet. She wanted you to raise the child as your own and train her until it was time to set her free from what ever prison she was placed in. But of course…if you do not want to she also understands. Then the child will remain hidden unless I take her in myself. She doesn't wish to burden you with to much."
Phoenix gets up with Aubrie in her arms "I what her here know, she isn't safe where is at.. she needs to be here safe with me and you"
"I tried to tell her that but you know how she is. She's stubborn." Walter rubbed his eyes. "Mmmm…mama…?" Xavier smiles. "That woman…she says she is use to being alone. I also don't think she is safe by herself. You may have to go yourself, darling." Phoenix breathes softly "Noah!" she shouted slightly, Aubrie cried slightly but Phoenix rubbed her back making her clam down and fall back asleep. Walter giggled a bit half sleep.
Noah walks in and bowed "Yes Mistress?" "get the exam room ready for Valeriea to give her an ultra sound" Noah blinked and nodded walking away. Phoenix turned to Xavier "Love do you mind watching her also?" she asks rubbing Aubrie's back slightly. Xavier smiles "Of course. I love watching both my daughter and son. Just be careful over there. With her magic fading those dragons may start to realize it and turn on her as well." Phoenix chuckles putting Aubrie down "I shell return" she said waving her hand and a magical portal opened in front of her and she walked right through it.
Oichi sighs out, now back in her office she was getting ready to go home. She was packing up her pants until she heard a commotion outside her door. She frowned and walked behind her desk just as her door slammed open. She jumped to see Nate had punched one of the soldiers who was blocking him. He looked pissed. "Nate? What are you…" Nate rushed to her and grabbed her arms, pushing her up against her desk. "What the hell is wrong with you!?" He snapped. Oichi's eyes flashed blue. She tore away from him and backhanded him through the die wall, the wall next to that and the following one." Nate coughs out landing on the floor from the third broken wall.
Oichi steps through them with a angry look on her face. She stopped in front of Nate, stomping her foot down, cracking the floor. "What the hell were you trying to do to me…" She said in a threatening tone. Nate shook looking up at her. His own anger calmed down and he quickly lowers his head. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Oichi! I was blinded by my anger. I didn't mean to grab you like that!" Oichi sighs and calms down. "I understand your worried about Michi but don't get angry at me because she choose to go on this mission. We will find them." Nate looked up tearing. "You don't understand though…I have to find her now!" "Nate…I told you…" "She's pregnant Oichi!" Oichi's eyes widen in shock. "What!?" Nate sniffed. "We found out a week ago. She's 8 weeks but she's been hiding it…and even so she agreed to go on this mission. Please…I have to find her!" Oichi bit her lip and sighs. "Okay Nate. Okay…just calm down. We are going to find them. I swear we are."
A portal opened in Valeriea's room making her look as Phoenix steps out "Val, you are coming to my place before those dragons find out and I mean now" "My lady, I will be fine. I assure you…"
Phoenix sighs "You are so stubborn" she says snapping her fingers, a 5 piece black leather luxury set appears and they open with her magic and Val's stuff started to float around the room and packed into the luggage's "You are coming home with me and that is final.. you are with child and its not safe, do I make myself clear?" Valeriea frowned and sighs as she felt sick. She closed the book she was reading. "I doubt I will win this…so…I will comply. " Phoenix nodded "Good, you have anyone you wanna come with you?"
"Alcaeus. I still have him running errands for me…the dragon boys…well they know my Magic is wearing off, I wouldn't be surprised if they are heading to Xacron." She looked at her hand. "As for Marik…he will come the moment he learns I left this place. He placed a demon curse on me forbidden me to leave until I was pregnant." She sighs putting on a simple black lacey dress and flats. "It makes me wonder who is controlling who…" Phoenix sighs softly "oh Val… what have you gotten yourself into….?" Soon has her stuff was all packed, Phoenix opened the portal again "I will send the boy a message saying you are with me, send him a portal item that will teleport him to my hideout" "Alright…" Val says grabbing the book she was reading.
"Come on lets get going" she said waving her hand as the bags floated into the portal. Valeriea nods and follows her into the Portal.
In hell, Marik was sitting in his new throne room. He was twisting Cien's prison cube. It was like a puzzle. He chuckled slightly. "In a few more days I'll have you out of here." He then paused. His eyes lit up as he no longer felt Valeriea in her room. He grins widely. "My black rose…I hope you aren't trying to hide from me." He chuckles darkly. "I'd hate to have to snap that pretty little neck of yours if you were to do anything to my child…" He sinks back on his throne. "I doubt it though. Worry not my love. I'll come for you at the right moment. One thing at a time."
A Small demon appeared beside him. "My Lord Zi…is it time to open the portals yet?" "No. But soon, I want you to call the generals together." "But Sir…you abolished all rankings….who shall I tell?" "Hmmm…good question. I'll let you know once this prison is just about open." The demon nods. "Yes sire…" It disappeared. Marik twisted the cube. He felt a jolt of Cien's energy. "Nice…I hope you realize that I'm not doing this for you. I just want sweet Ebony to trust me more." He says chuckling.
Back at Phoenix's hide out, Phoenix opened a door and stepped inside. Her wolves brought in the bags she backed and Xavier walked in Valeriea into her new room. The Room had soft neutral tones design elements such as black and white abstract acrylic floor and swinging chair with luxury bedroom furniture including luxury designer beds and bedside tables. And nice modern stone fireplace, the window by the sitting area give a great view from the mountain side. "This is your room, how do you like it?" "It's nice." Valeriea says looking around.
Phoenix chuckled "good, come.. Noah is waiting for us, he shall give you an exam, no buts here" Valeriea pondered for a moment but nodded. "Alright." Xavier held in a chuckle. It was interesting to see Valeriea so keen on listening to Phoenix. Valeriea shot him a quick blank look and he laughed a bit. "I wasn't thinking of anything rude." "Mhmm…" She says following Phoenix to Noah's.
Reaching Noah's lab, Phoenix guided Valeriea to another room, stepping in it. It was nice ultrasound room, Noah looks up and smiles "Lady Valeria welcome please lay down" Phoenix nodded to her to lay down. Valeriea stepped over and laid down. Phoenix and Xavier stood next to her has Noah gently lifts up Valeria's shirt. They did see a same bump. Noah squeezed some warm gel on her tummy and placed the wand on her belly. They walked on the screen, has Noah moves the wand around "I'm surprise he doesn't use the hi tech one.." Xavier mutters. Phoenix sighs "It's broken…" Xavier chuckled. "Typical."
Looking at the screen they could see a clear picture of the baby in Valeriea's belly. "Oh, look at that." Xavier say. "Can we find out the gender now?" Valeriea's eyes widen slightly looking at the screen. 'My baby huh…' She felt a little warmth in her chest. She hasn't felt this way since the time she found out about Lorelei. "Val you okay?" Xavier asked. "Yea…just a little tired." Looking at Noah. "I should be around 12 week…so can you see the gender or not?" Noah looks at her "your baby is part demon so yeah… let me see…" he moves around the wand and taps on his laptop "AH! There" he points. Phoenix looked and her eyes widen "A girl…" "Congrats Lady Valeriea, your having a girl"
Valeriea frowns. "The last time I had a girl it didn't go so well…" Xavier smiles. "Well your lover is more than some general now. You got the new king of hell. I doubt he will want to take your child and hide her from you." Valeriea sighs. "I suppose…" "He is smitten with you Val. Isn't that why he gave you that curse in the first place?" She shrugs. "I don't know anymore." She rubbed her head feeling a bit sickly and tired. "If we are done, I'd like to lay down now…" Phoenix nodded she looked at Xavier "Go on and take her to her room while I go to the kitchen and make something that will be gentle on her tummy she walks away. "Come Val. Let's get you to bed." He held out his hand. She took it and he led her back to her room.
Three days passed and there was still no sign of Mikey and the others. Oichi was at her desk sighing. "Three days and nothing…where could they be…" The door to her office opened she looked up and smiled to see Liam walk in. "Liam. Hi!" Liam bows slightly. "Hello lady Oichi. Did I catch you at a bad time?" "Kinda but what do I owe this sudden visit?" "Ah, well I wanted to see um…your daughter?" Oichi chuckled and nods. "Yes, her name is Emma. From what Jess told me, Grace thanked her." She got and walked with him to the nursery room.
Reaching the room, she opened it and saw Orochi at the changing table, cleaning Jasper. "Orochi honey?" "Yes beloved?" He answered putting Jasper in a cleaning diaper. "Liam is here to see Emma." Orochi glanced over his shoulder. "I see…she is awake in the crib." Oichi guilds Liam to the crib. Looking in it they saw Emma awake. She was holding a cute mini mouse bear. Liam eyes widen felling his mother inside her. "Mother…" Emma looked at him and yawns. "Can I hold her?" He asked. "Of course." Liam smiles and picks Emma up. She tenses up in his arms but soon relax. "Those cute wolf ears of hers…but she looks just like mother…Lady Oichi, how can I ever thank you. I know this was a hard choice to allow this to happen." Oichi chuckled. "You do not have to thank me. Just promise that you will look out for her and teach her about her powers." "Yes, of course. I plan to training my own magic again. I want to be at my best for when she comes of age." He grabs Emma's hand. She squeezed his finger with her tiny hand.
Her eyes flashed and Liam could feel a gentle wind wrapping around him. He smiles as the feeling. "Mother…" He held Emma and cuddle her. Orochi sighs. "Don't go looking at my daughter like that." Oichi giggled. "Don't worry hunny. Reincarnation or not she is still our daughter and will love you as her father. I bet she'll be a daddy's girl. Curled up all over you." Orochi let out a soft chuckle. "We will see." Liam smiles as Emma yawns and falls asleep in his arms.
At Jess's, one of the room what was magically connected to her personal office in the magical council. It was easier for her to use this connection then traveling to Ravenswood. Jess wearing an elegant green skirt suit and black heels was sitting there with Ebony who was wearing black tank top, denim waist line shorts and Yellow floral embroidery kimono cardigan with black boots.
"So, you ready to call him?" Jess asked her. Ebony nodded "I'm ready Auntie" Jess smiled taking out the orb and channeled magic through it. The orb did not light up or jolt. Jess frowns. "It's not working…" Ebony thinks to herself. "May I see it?" She asked. Jess handed the orb to Ebony. She poured some of her demonic energy into the orb. It glows and Marik appeared in front of her. "Ah, I see you finally used the orb. That warms my heart. Hello sweet Ebony. How are you today." He asks with a smile. Ebony blushed, Jess chuckled "go on dear" Ebony nodded "I shall take your offer lord Zi. I will follow you and be apart the demon court."
He chuckled. "Very well. I shall make the necessary arrangements once I finish establishing the order here." His eyes light up slightly and Ebony blinks seeing a black thread that connected from her chest to Marik's. "Since you have accepted me, our connection is now completed." He placed a hand on his chest. "You among the very few are now allowed to say my name when speaking to me." Ebony blinked "Lord… Marik…" her eyes widen "I said…." Jess smiles "you happy dear?" Ebony nodded "Uhm Lord Marik… what of my father….?" Jess looks at where Ebony is staring at and reaches out touching the orb and she sees him, she bows her head "Hello Lord Zi, yes… she mention you found his prison orb?"
Marik holds hand up and they saw the prison orb. It was turning by itself. "I am currently in hell unlocking it right now. It is like a puzzle, so it took some time to figure out the pattern. In a few hours, your father will be free. Since no one can enter or leave Hell at the moment I will send him to you as I promised." Ebony smiled brightly "Thank you my Lord!" Jess chuckled at her "Thank you Lord Zi, this means so much to her to have her father back" Ebony flushed "Can I have a hug my lord?" Jess giggled "aww"
"Of course. I do enjoy hugs every now and then." He says chuckling. Ebony smiles and hugs him. He hugs her back and rubs the back of her head. Just then the orb that Cien was in started to crack. Marik turns to it. "Ah…seems like he will be here sooner than I thought." Releasing Ebony, he grabbed the orb. "I must go sweet Ebony. I guess being near his daughter has awoken him inside the prison. If not contain he may destroy himself and the prison and we can't have that, can we." Ebony's eyes widen "Oh no! dad calm down!" Jess chuckles "Thank you Lord Zi, please send him here to the council. I will be here and ebony will be with me. WE are both gonna be going through some spell books, she will be my little helper today" Ebony flushed a pout "Auntie…." "Hmm…that sounds cute…I would like you to be my helper to one day Ebony." Marik says poking her cheek. Ebony gasped with a red face, Jess chuckled loudly.
Marik soon took his leave, in hell his eyes opened to see the orb shaking. He started to quickly twist and turn the orb. Using his demonic energy, he held back Cien who was trying to push himself out. "Be mindful boy. If you try to break out, you will kill yourself. I promise Ebony I will bring you back, let's not make this hard." He says. Cien's energy started to calm down. "Good now hold still I almost have it."
Mikey was laying down on a bed when his eyes opened. He sat up with a slight gasp. Looking around he notice he was in a white room. He noticed he was sitting on a hover bed. The room had some advance futurist touches to it. He slips out of bed and saw he was wearing only his wet suit that went under his diving equipment. "Where am I…"
He walked to the couch that was in the room. On the table he some weird food along with a Rex's nano bot ball. Walking to Rex's ball he grabbed it and it activated. Rex appeared. "Greetings Mikey." "Rex. What is going on?" Rex eyes lit up. "We have found the source of the signal. It is a foreign signal not one with this dimension. When we went through the barrier, we fell down into a underwater city that had been hiding for a very long time. They brought you to the room to recover since the fall did some damage to your body. The bed over there is a highly upgrading healing pod that looks like a normal bed." "I see…how long was I out?" "Three days."
Mikey frowned. "Oichi must be freaking out by now. Can you call her?" "No, the signal is blocking me from connecting to my other systems. We will have to wait for the leader of the city to come back." Mikey sighs and sits down on the couch. "Where are Zane and Michi?" "Separate rooms. They are still asleep." Mikey rubs his head with a sigh. "Just great…"
In hell, Marik was one step away to unlocking the orb. "Twist this here and then turn this…slide this down…and…" He heard a click. Smirking he tossed the orb up. It lit up and shook before breaking apart. Cien came falling out of it, landing in front of Marik's throne. Marik chuckled and leans back. "Welcome back…" Cien looks up and his eyes widen at him "What…? Where am I….? wait… you're not…" Cien frowns 'What happen while I was in there… did hell get a new king….?'
"You have a lot of questions but it is not surprising. Your prison had you sleeping so you missed a lot. I am King Marik Zi Morningstar, the first son of Lucifer, the anti-Christ. I ask that you only referred me to Lord Zi. My birth name is cursed and unless I give you permission you will die a horrible, painful, yet enjoyable death." Cien's eyes widen at him "the anti-Christ… first son of lucifer…..?"
"I took Hell over from my father. He wasn't fit to rule in his state. Abandoning my siblings and my darling niece in her time of need crossed a line for me. For too long my father allowed those fools to walk over him but no more. Under my rule I will bring respect and fear back into my families name. I destroyed hell and rebuilt in my image. You are the first one to see my throne room." He stood up and walked to him. "Luckily, you were within my fathers domain so you weren't killed in the restart, but I will make myself clear. I only freed you because of Ebony. Now that she has decided to join me the only question left to ask is…where does your loyalty stand…" Cien shook under his gaze 'ebony… joined him…?' "What of my mother….?"
"Nothing is fully set in stone yet, but I assume she follows me as well. She wouldn't have her demon powers if she didn't." Marik says, placing one hand in his pocket. Cien relaxes softly "alright…my loyalty lies to you my lord" he gets on his knee and bows before him. Marik smirked. "Good. Then let's make something clear." Cien gasps as his body was pushed down to the floor. Marik's aura washed over him holding him still. "I am not my father…should you betray me, like you did him, at any point you will not be getting a comfy prison. I will strip you of your demon powers and feast on your soul and condemn you to the lowest level of hells. Do I make myself clear?" Come gasps in pain "yes… my lord…"
Marik releases him. "Good." Grabbing Cien by his arm he forced him up and stood him up straight. "Now, you may go see your daughter. Make sure you thank her. Without her word you would be stuck in your prison." He opened a portal. "That should lead you to her and her aunt." Cien's eyes widen but smiled and bowed to him "thank you my lord"
In the Underwater city, Mikey was sitting in the room waiting. He didn't touch the food. Instead, he was poking around it trying to figure out what it was. The door to his room opened and two guards where weird armor that he had never seen before, walked in. They stood on each side of the door and a beautiful woman with light blue skin, white and pink almost glowing hair, and blue eyes. She was wearing a beautiful blue armor dress with golden lining. She smiled softly looking at Mikey. "Hello, welcome to our underwater city Extrona. How are you feeling?" Mikey stood up. "I am fine…my name is Mikey…" "Prince Mikey Yamamoto, son of Dante Yamamoto, older brother to Queen Oichi Yamamoto Ruska. Yes, we know of you."
"How did you know all of that?" Mikey asked. She chuckled. "My name is Star. My mother is leader of this city. She is out for a moment to make sure our barrier is still holding up. I will be taking care of you until she gets back." Mikey frowned. "So…we aren't your prisoners?" "No, we understand that our signals had been crossing yours. It was only a matter of time before someone came. Would you like a tour while we wait?" Mikey hums out. "I am very fascinated with this technology here, but I need to check on Zane and Michi. Are they okay?" Star nods. "Yes, they both are awake, but we request that the girl Michi get some rest until it is time to leave." "Was she hurt bad? Is she alright? I need to see her." Mikey says walking to her quickly.
The guards quickly stood in front of her. Mikey stopped walking. "Fear not. Your sister is fine but, in her condition, it is better for her to rest for now." "What condition!?" Star blinks. "Ah…well…she is pregnant." Mikey eyes widen in shock. "What!?" "It looks like you didn't know but yes, she is carrying, and she hit our grounds hard when she protected you and Zane from the fall." "Take me to her now! Please!" Star nods. "Yes of course, follow me."
Jess and Ebony were going through the more books. Jess sighs "why is it so hard to find this spell?" Ebony frowns "so many grimoires…" flipping pages, they felt a portal open in front of them and they looked up to se Cien. Ebony's eyes widen and stood up fast rushing to your father "dad!" He smiled and caught her into a hug. Jess smiles getting up "come back Cien"
Cien hugs ebony tightly "oh ebony ….!" Ebony starts to tear but happily hugging her father back more. Cien looked at Jess and flushed with a smile "Queen Jess thank you for taking care of my daughter" Jess chucked "you are welcome Cien"
Then his stomach started to growl, Ebony pulled back and chucked "hungry dad?" Cien nodded with a flush "yeah been asleep for so long…" Jess chucked at him and summoned a servant who stepped inside "yes my lady" Jess smiles at her "please get us some sushi and a fresh plate of raw teriyaki meat" the servant bowed and left the room.
"So cien please set we have much to talk about" she said sitting down. Ebony pulled him over and they sat down has Jess because to tell him everything he missed.
Mikey and Star were walking through the halls of the building they were in. The windows were clear, so he got a full view of the city. He was intrigued by how advance Star and her people were. They soon stopped at a pair of doors. It opened to the same room Mikey had woken up in. Zane was sitting on the couch and Michi was laying in bed half sleep. Mikey rushed to Michi. "Michi!?" Her eyes snapped awake, and she sat up. "Mikey! Your awake!" He hugged her and then pulled away. "Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant!?" He yelled. Zane's eyes widen. "What what!?" He stood up and went to the bed. Michi frowned. "…If I told you then you wouldn't have let me come with you…you would have brought that cat…" Mikey sat on the bed. "Michi…I told you…" "I know what you told me. I don't care that you don't have feelings for me like I did for you. You only see me as a sister and I accept that. Nate…talked me through that but, still…you spend all the time with her in the lab and you don't rely on me anymore. You don't ever ask me to run errands anymore or anything…" She tears. "I didn't want you to leave me behind…"
Mikey sighs and grabs her hand. "Michi, you are just as important to me as Oichi. Your both my little sisters. I don't see you as a clone Dorian made. You have your own life, you choice what to do with it. You are your own person now. I didn't ask anything from you not because I was leaving you behind. I hurt you when I couldn't answer you clearly about my own feelings. I apologize for that. I'm sorry I couldn't return those feelings, but you found Nate, right? He makes you happy?" Michi nods. "I figured. So, I didn't want you to bother with me anymore…I shouldn't be the reason why you shouldn't find love with someone else." Michi rubs her eyes. "Don't abandon me please…" She says sniffing. "I will never do that. Me, Oichi, Nate…none of us will ever do that okay?" Michi nods again. Zane took her hand to. "Me to. Technically you're my sister to." He smiles at her. "We never abandon a family member, okay?" Michi smiles. "Thank you…"
Star smiled watching. 'It must be nice having a family like that…' She closed her eyes. 'My daughter.' She heard in her head. 'I have returned. Bring them to me.' 'Yes mother…' Star opened her eyes. "Mikey? My mother is back. She wishes to speak to you. Zane can stay with Michi." Mikey nods. Getting up he kisses Michi's head. "Get some rest." He placed a hand on her belly. "Nate should be losing his mind right now. I'll make sure you and your baby get home safe." He walked over to Star. "I'm ready." "Follow me please." She says smiling and led him out the door.
In Xacron at the arcade, Valora and Esme where on a double date with Luke and Aaron. Valora was wearing a black tank top, bandeau galaxy top under her tank top and black sneakers. Esme was wearing a blue glitter skull 'we rock' crop top, dark denim shorts and black converse with wings panted on them.
Luke next to Valora was wearing a grey plaid shirt, men's skinny jeans and black converse. Aaron next to Esme was wearing blue plaid shirt, men's skinny jeans and black converse with a black beanie over his head. They where watching some teenagers playing on Dance Revolution EXTREME. Watching the teens fail at it. Valora and Esme chuckled and looked at the boys "can we try?" they both asked. Luke and Aaron chuckled at them "Sure!" they both said with smile. Some other teens where about to get on but Valora and Esme were faster. The two girl teens frowns at them has Valora and Esme got ready and picked a song. Valora and Esme grinned has the song started and both he girls moved quickly on the movements. Eyes widen at them has they aren't missing a points. Aaron and Luke were grinning at them has they where doing a perfect game "They might break the recorded" Aaron says. Luke nodded "Yeah, very exciting brother"
A portal opened up behind Paxton's house. Semyaza walks out with a sigh. "Done for the day." "Semyaza!" He jumped at his name being yelled. He saw Sonya marching up to him angry. "Mom…?" "Where have you been?" "E-Exploring…" His eyes shifted to the left. "You are lying and you never lie! That's why your so bad at it. Now where have you been? I would understand exploring every now and then but you disappear when you're supposed to be watching your brother and sisters! You don't speak to me or your father nor your grandparents! We barely even see you!? So what have you been doing!?"
Semyaza bit his lip. "It…Its none of your business!" He snaps at her. "I don't have to explain what I'm doing to you! Stop being so damn nosey!" Sonya's eyes widen at his sudden outburst. "I don't need you to be worried over me! I can take care of myself just fine! So just leave me alone!" Sonya was hurt by his words and he could see it. He gasps slightly at what he just did. "Mom…I didn't mean…" "In your room now. You will not come out until your father gets home." She said with a hurtful tone. Semyaza drops his head. "Yes ma'am…" He heads to his room. Sonya frowns as she wipes a tear from her eye. 'What's happening to little boy…he'd never talk to me that way…'
Now at pizzeria, Valora, Esme, Luke and Aaron sat in a circle booth. They had ordered a large meat's lover pizza and large order of mozzarella sticks. "So how are you like Xacron?" Valora asked the boys. Esme smiled and looks at them. They both smile at the girls "It's nice here" Aaron says "Yeah better then home to be honest, it's good to get out of red kingdom" Luke says also. Aaron nodded.
Valora and Esme hummed and took a sip of their drinks at the same time "So you two are excited to join school here" the boys nodded to them "Yes, even better because" "you two will be there" they finished their sentences. Valora and Esme blushed at them "so… where you two gonna stay?" "Oh mother got us a dorm apartment" Aaron says, Luke nodded "You two gonna be apart of the dorms?" the girls nodded "Yeah, we always have a room together" Valora says.
Esme chuckled "yeah! Plus, the dormitory commons are large and have so much games everyone plays together" the boys chuckle at them as the waiter comes over with their pizza "Here you are a large meats lover pizza" he says putting it down "enjoy" he says and walks off. The girls and boys right away started to gather their pieces.
In Bern, Vernon was sitting down eating some red meat he had hunted down from a animal. He missed his wife. He heard flapping and saw his son Rue drop down beside him. "Father…can you feel it?" Vernon nods. "Yes, the witches magic over us is weakling." Rue smirked. "Then we should we go kill her!?" "No, if her magic fades we die once more." "So long as I get to kill her I don't mind that…" Rue says. "Don't be so hasty. I know you are mad at her using you to attack our fellow dragons but there is nothing we can do about that. We should live our days out in some kind of peace…but first…we go free Anastasia." Rue frowns. "Mother cares about Terrance and his family. She won't doesn't want to leave them." "I know…but we will soon burn out and she knows this…either way she will come back with us even if I have to force her myself." Rue sighs and then smirks. "Then I get to fight with Terrance?" "I'd rather you not…but I know how you are. Just don't kill him." Rune chuckled. "I make No promises."
At Kaci and Ross's, Kaci was in Azaya's room helping her redoing her whole room. All the furniture was gone form the room. The carpet was torn out and replaced with hard wooden floor. That had painted the walls white and now putting a wallpaper on the walls, it was white vintage wallpaper. Ross picked in with Kalena in his arms. He raised his eyebrow "White?" Azaya chuckled fishing her piece perfectly "white is a nice color"
Kaci chuckled "There's nothing wrong with White, before you born your aunt and uncles said your aura was pure white because your soul was pure and innocent." Azaya flushed at him "Really?" Kaci nodded "Yup! Right hunny?" Ross chuckles "Yup" Azaya smiles shyly but went back at putting some wallpaper down. Hannibal peaked in "sissy fixing room?" Ross looked down at him "Yup" Hannibal giggled "Sissy can I help?!" Kaci looked back at him "No hun, not with the wallpaper but maybe with the small stuff "Okay?" Hannibal pouted but nodded.
In the underwater city, Mikey was standing in front a large glowing door. Star placed her hand on it and it lights up. With a loud creak it slides opened. Mikey eyes widen to see a beautiful clear glass room showing all of the sea and fishes. There were four blue pillars and in between the last two was a throne. On the throne was a woman. Her hair was the same as Stars but she has golden eyes. She was sitting with her legs crossed. "Greetings young wolf…my name is Queen Eve Longstrom. I welcome you to my city." Mikey nods. "Hm…you do not bend a knee to me?" "The only one I bow to is my sister…you will have to overlook that part of me." Eve chuckled. "So be it. I understand that our signals got crossed up?"
"Yes, and it has been messing with our defenses. Who are you people and why are you here." Eve hums out and stands up. She lifts a inch of the ground and levitates to him. "Are you a witch? A demon?" Eve chuckled. "No…I am a blue sentient being." Mikey frowned. "Your joking…" Eve floats around him. "I am not. You should not be surprised since you live in a world were one can truly meet divine beings. Your sister is a vessel of one yes?" Mikey sighs. "She is…so what are you here?" "Hiding…" She says with a frown. "From who?" Eve turns her head. "From a very evil being. One who destroyed and effected our world…come I will show you." She takes his hand and transported from the room.
Rick and Chida at the new house were in the living room. Klaus was in his room playing an Skyrim. Aurora was getting ready to meet Jayden. The twins where in front of Rick and Chida playing on the floor. Elvira was snuggling into rick's shoulder fast asleep. Hearing giggling, they looked to see Ebony walk in the room with Cien which made there eyes widen. Chida was the first stand up fast with a narrowing look. Cien stopped dead in a his tracks with widen eyes. He see's rick and gasps softly, Ebony went in front of her father "Uncle Chida please don't…!"
Chida growled "Why shouldn't I?" "Because he is part of this family Chida, you all knew he was getting freed by Zi so please sit back down" Jess says walking in the room. Cien flushed at her "Thank you Jess" Jess smiles at him "you can have the guest room down in the basement." Cien blinked "Oh thank you" Jess smiled again and walked over to her husbands and sat down pulling Chida with her "Sit down already Shesh, Ebony why don't you show your father the basement" Ebony nodded "Come on dad this way! The basement was just refurbished! With magic of course" Cien chuckles "alright lead the way" Ebony pulled him along to where the basement was.
In her prison room, Anastasia was looking through the photo book that Nia had given her at the picnic. She smiled brightly looking at all of her great grandchildren. Closing the photo book she looked at a easel that she had asked for. In the corner there were many paintings of the twins and the others. Now that she saw all of the children faces she could paint a family portrait.
She had gotten into painting a month ago and Terrance taught her the basics. She learned everything else from books that Oichi allowed her to have. She giggled and started to mix her colors. 'My love…' She heard Vernon speak telepathically. 'Yes? Are you well?' 'I miss you terribly…' She giggled. 'I miss you to dear, but they are taking very good care of me here.' 'Are they? Or are you saying this to keep me away from them?' Anastasia frowned. 'Vernon. I have never lied to you…why would I do it now.' 'Me and Rue are coming for you. With the witch Magic disappearing it is only a matter of time before we return to bones.' Anastasia looks down. 'Do not come here.' 'What!?' 'If you are coming to start trouble then stay away from here! Our great grandchild live here! If you come and try to take me Lady Oichi will not respond so kindly. I will not forgive you if you place our family in harms way!'
She didn't hear his voice. She sighs. 'My love I…' 'We are coming for you and nothing will stop us. I don't care if you hate me forever. We no longer belong in this life.' Anastasia eyes widen in fear as she dropped her paint brushes. "NO!" She cut contact with him. Rushing to the door. She bangs on it. "Hello! Someone please! I need my son immediately!" She yelled.
Deep in the earth in underground cavern covered in matter red crystals. Sound of a impact and red crystal falling to the ground. Asturias stood there not happy "Damn it… I never thought it would be this hard to take earth.. damn that Manon and Deerward! Althaia should have died already!"
Something dropping next to him making him look "Haru, what do you have to report?" a dragon next to him covered in his red matter crystals "It seems the barrier around is Xacron is down… and some weird signals coming from the ocean" Asturias sighs "I see, keep an eye out for more activity" Haru nodded and flew off. Asturias walks off and steps to a red matter crystal that had a human being floating int it. It was a boy, Asturias smiles at him and puts his hand on the stasis crystal "Soon my son you shell be by myside, Adonis"
Mikey's eyes were widen as he floated through the air with Star and Eve. They had various rooms of scientific discoveries. The mad scientist in him was tingling. He wanted to take apart and experiment on everything he could see but he kept himself calm. Eve breathes out softly. "The things you see here are the last remaining items of our world." "So did you come from space?" Mikey asked. "No…we are from a different dimension all together. Your higher being, your creator of this dimension. His name is Manon? Correct?" Mikey nods. "Ours was lady Xemos. She was our saving grace for surviving. She sacrifice her life to keep us here…I'm sure she had been here before since this is where she sent us. Maybe she and your creator knew each other?" Mikey frowned. "That I wouldn't know. I'm not a close follower of his." Eve chuckled. "Before our world was destroyed. Lady Xemos powered our machine to make a large jump through time and space." "Wait, wait, wait…if you don't use magic then does that mean you…" Star giggled as she pointed to a window. Mikey floats down to the ground and walks quickly and saw a large advance machine. "Is that…" "Yes, a time traveling machine. Unlike many races we were not gifted with mana. We had to use out own minds to develop and advance quicker and fast. Soon some of us didn't not did need things such as sleep and food and the basic needs or regular humans."
Mikey was in full interest now. "You actually time traveled here…how long have you been here?" Eve chuckled. "Its has been a long time but according to your earth years I myself would be around 25 millions years old Give or take?" Mikey eyes widen. "Fascinating…" He looked at Eve who blushed. "Oh n-no. I'm no where near that old. My chronic stage started 20 years ago." "Chronic stage?" "We can discuss that later come." Eve says floating away. Mikey followed on foot this time before they entered another room. This room looked like his intelligence office in his lab. It had a large screen that was showing different parts of the world. 'I wonder if that's how they got all the information…'
Eve circled around the middle. A globe pops up. It looked like it was covered in nothing but metal. "This was once our world…" "What happened to it?" "It was infected…Xemos did her best to try and stop it but our defenses were shut down. We noticed the damage to late and thus there was nothing we can do. In her last effort she gave us enough power and sent us through time. I decided that we would go into hiding should that being comes to finish the job…we have been here ever since." Mikey rubbed his chin. "Is there any way you can come with me to see my sister? Maybe there is a way you can coexist here with us?" Eve frowned. "No, once you leave we will have to depart elsewhere. If you could locate us then that means he could find us. I cannot risk my people…" Mikey sighs. "Very well…but still you should speak with her. You never know…I think their may be a Xemos here in our time…" Eve eyes widen a bit. "I doubt that but I am intrigued…"
Mikey smiles. "My sister is close friends with the vessel of Manon. Maybe you can speak more about the being? We could protect you…" Star looks at her mother. "Maybe we should try…soon hiding will not be enough to keep us safe." Eve closed her eyes. "I will think on it…until then. We will prepare to send you on your way. As an apology for out little mix up with signals. We offer to give your nano bot, Rex, and upgrade so that he may be more of use to you." "You mean Rex can become like you?" Eve nods. "Yes but that means he will gain more freedom. He would have more emotions mentally. You will not have full control over him anymore." Mikey chuckled. "I don't mind that. Please. Will you do the upgrade." Eve nods. "Very well…"
At River's and Terry's, River was on the hammock taking a nap. Jareth and Xena where out there with her, Jareth was doing his own thing near River. Xena however was out far off by the edge of the of the yard. She didn't go into the woods because she was always told not too. Her being one, she looked more like two- or three-year-old. She was wearing a cute Butterfly Flutter Top and Bow Shorts with Braided Strap Sandals. Her hair was in a very light blue that almost looked white. She squatted down watching a blue butterfly "Pretty…. Like mama…" then it fluttered off a daisy and Xena watched it has it fluttered into the woods. Xena frowned "No don't leave…" she sat up and started to pout but looked back at her mother who was sleeping and Jareth who was playing with his toy cars then looked back at the woods "will bring pretty butterfly to mama…." She rushed into the woods after it.
Over the sea, Rue and Vernon were in their dragons forms getting close to Xacron. They were coming from the opposite way, to appear behind the city. "I want Terrance!" Rue growls out. "I said no…I will get Terrance and force him to take me to Ana. I don't need a battle between you two. You will handle Terry." "The little half pint? Are you joking!?" "Do not question me Rue. Do as I say." Rue breaths out steam and breaks off from Vernon.
Vernon flaps his dragon wings moving faster until he saw Xacron. "Ana…even if you hate me forever. I refuse to let this place keep you away from me." He dips down, seeing Xacron mountains in view. It took a matter of seconds to reach it. He flew over them and flew down into the woods. His body started to shrink back down to his human form leaving on his wings. Flying through the trees he came to a sudden stopped to see Terrance's house. Nia was outside with Jaliyah, Rhea, Amy, Malcom, and the twins. She was sitting on the ground watching them play. Vernon looked at the children. 'Those must be our great grandchildren…' He looked at Jaliyah. "I can feel her dragon blood from here…she will be strong one day." He frowned looked at Nia. "Terrance's mate…he will surely come if it's for her…" He drops down and walks out of the forest.
Nia's eyes quickly went to him. Standing up she called for the children. They gasped and ran to her. They hid behind her legs. "Who are you!?" She called out getting into a fighting stance. Vernon chuckled. "You are a fisty one. No wonder Terrance has you for a mate." Nia lets out a threating growl. "Don't come any closer or I'll make you regret it!" "Ho? A mere wolf taking me on. How amusing. My son has made a good choice making you, his mate." "Your son…" Nia frowns. "So, your Vernon. Ana spoke a lot about you…" Vernon frowns. "I'm sure she did…now listen close. If you don't wish to be harm you will call Terrance here. Now." "And if I don't…" Vernon closed his eyes as he changed back into his dragon form. Nia backs up slowly with the kids trembling behind her. "Then I shall burn this entire place down with you and those children." Vernon says as fire started to rise from his throat. "Choose now…" Nia grips her fist.
On the other side of the forest, Xena was chasing the butterfly. She giggled and watched it land on someone's hand. She stops to see a man with black and purple hair, two large side horns on his head, and dark purple eyes. He chuckled darkly at her. Xena's eyes widen and froze "who you?"
"Looks like you are a little far from home." Xena backs up and turns around to run when she was grabbed by his dragon tail. "Now, now, don't run away from your uncle Rue. Me and you are going to have a lot of fun until your dad gets here." Xena cried "NO! down! down!"
Rue chuckled. "Come now. Call out for him. Bring him to me." He says showing his dragon fangs. Xena's eyes widen tearing and she let out a dragon call "DAADDDYYYY!" her dragon call echoed for miles and miles reaching Xacron.
At the castle, Terrance and Terry were with Oichi explain what was going on. "That…is troubling. We aren't fully prepared to deal with your father and brother…" She rubs her cheek. "Yes, mother is scared, and she doesn't want you to go after him…" Terrance says. "I'm not letting your father and brother destroy my kingdom, Terrance. I want to save your family, but I can't risk everyone's lives…" "I know and I understand…" Oichi sighs and opens the bottom of her desk. "I made a deal with Zi so I figured these would come in handy." She took out two prison cubes. The same one that Anastasia was caught in. "These are a stronger version I had Mikey made just for them. If you can't beat them, at least try to capture them. We can figure the rest out later. Terrance and Terry both took one when suddenly Terrance's beads blinked turning red. His eyes narrowed and he touched it. "Nia?" "Terrance! Come quick please!" "Nia!? What's wrong!?" "H-He's burning the house! The forest! You have to come now! He said he will hurt the children!" "Who Nia!?" "Your father!" Nia says before they heard her scream out. Oichi sits up. "Auntie!?" Terrance bit his lip and flew out the window behind Oichi.
A second later, Terry's eyes widen as he heard Xena's call. "Xena!?" Oichi frowns as Terry also jumped from the window and flew home. Oichi went to the window with a sigh. "I wish I could say be careful, but this isn't going to be a safe battle…There might be one person who can stop this though." She frowns and rushes out of her office.
At Nia's the kids were hiding behind a picnic table that Nia had placed in front of them. Nia was holding her arm. It was burned from Vernon's fire. Her house was set on fire by him after she refused to call for Terrance. "It pains me to harm a woman and children but if you had only done as I would have asked then you wouldn't have gotten hurt." Nia glared at him. "Screw you. Why would I ever willingly bring my husband here for you to kill him!" Vernon sighs. "I do not want it to get to the point where it comes to that. He is still my son after all…" He felt Terrance rushing to them. "It seems he is here. Now, let's see how strong he actually became." As soon as he said that Terrance appeared in his full dragon form. "Get away from her!" He yelled breathing fire. Vernon smirked as the flames circled around him, blocking him from Nia.
Terrance towered over Nia and the kids. "How dare you harm my wife!" He roars out. The flames around Vernon grew as he also turned into his dragon from. "How dare YOU take mine!" He roars back. Terrance takes flight and he and his father start to fight in their massive forms. Nia got up and moved behind the table. The kids cuddle with her tearing. Nia hit her beads and separated one from her wrist. Tossing it up it became a barrier to protect them from the debris.
On the other side of the forest, Rue was still holding Xena with his tail. He was looking at as she tears. 'Hmm…I can see why mother has become fascinated with these children. Even at a young age I can sense great power in her.' His tail slowly tighten around her. 'Hmm…she's kinda soft to…I believe mother said something like this before with the twins…' His eyes snapped up felling Terry come close. "Now, how about this one…"
Terry soon landed in front of Rue. "You…! Your…" Rue chuckled. "Hello nephew. I'm your father's older brother." "Let go of my daughter! Now!" Terry yelled as his tail appeared. Rue chuckled. "For being half dragon, it seems like you might put up a fight." His tail lifted and dropped Xena next to a tree. He then slammed it down in front of her making her scream and cling to the tree. His tail created a deep crack in front of her. Getting up he cracked his neck. "Now nephew…let's see how strong you really are?"
At the house, River was staring at the forest with widen eyes. Jareth was holding on her leg "No mama!" "Mom!" they heard, she turned her head to see Valora and Esme with Luke and Aaron run over to her "girls! Boys! take Jareth inside I must go save Xena and Terry!" the girls frown "No mom you can't… you still at risk!" River frown "but Xena… Terry…" Luke and Aaron looked at each other and nodded, taking out a dragon orb they right away called for their mother.
In the forest, Terry was thrown through a tree. Rue chuckled as he charged at him. Terry growls and they traded blows. "Not bad but your still too weak! You rely more on that weak wolf side of your and not your dragons!" Rue ducked under Terry's kick and tackled him into the ground. Using his tail he grabbed Terry by the neck, picked him, and slammed him into the ground. Xena watched as Terry was greatly overpowered by Rue.
Rue laughed as he hit Terry in the stomach. Terry gasps out and glares at him. Using his own dragon power, he knocked Rue away from him. He spins around, using his tail he smacked Rue in the face as hard as he could, knocking him back. Rue rubbed his bruised cheek. Terry huffs out as smoke came from his mouth. He then let out a loud roar that shook the grounds. Rue's eyes widen as the ground broke apart under him. A claw made out of bones grabbed him. "What the hell!?" Terry breathes out holding his side. "I guess you don't know…I got a nice ability from dad…my dragon calls can bring the bones of dragons back to life for a bit to help me. How do you think you and my grandparents came back? To bad for you, there are many dragon bones buried here on Xacron." Rue chuckles as he struggled against the tightly close claw around his body. "Not bad…"
Terry chuckled and ran to Xena. He already knew that he wasn't as strong as Rue. He need to get her to safely. Rue sighs out. 'I think I underestimate him. This is quite some power.' Suddenly, something snapped in his mind. His eyes widen. 'No…Not now…' Terry turns to him feeling the sudden change in his energy. Rue shook his head. "No…back off! I don't want to…! Damn you!" "Uncle?" Rue's snapped open. "Run! Run now!" He yelled shocking Terry. "I…I'm losing control over my body! Get your daughter and leave now!" Rue yelled as black magic started to leak out of his body.
Terry bit his lip and tried to grab Xena however, it was much too late. Rue let out a frightening roar. His eyes darken and he spreads his wings. His tail smashed the bone claw. Baring his fangs, he rushed to Terry right as he reached Xena. Terry turns around and shield Xena right as Rue clawed his chest. It wasn't deep but it still hurt. Terry hissed out until Rue grabbed his head and smashed it into the ground. Grabbing his hair and picked him up and tossed him away from Xena. He then marched to Terry who was holding his bleeding chest. "Kill you…" He mumbles.
Terry starts to back up. Rue had become unrecognizable as Valeriea's dark magic started to pour out of him, taking over his body, forcing him to slip into darkness. His eyes went jet black. "Forget taking you to father…I'll kill you now…" He mumbles out as his arm turned halfway in his dragon arm. His claws sharpen.
Xena's eyes widen "No….no.. daddy…." Tears came out her eyes something in her pulsed and this made Rue stop in his tracks, this sudden dragon power behind made his body shook. Xena's eyes widen and turned into a yellow dragon color, her face was red in anger as blue dragon aura surrounded her. Terry's eyes widen at this.
"LEAVE MY DADDY ALONE!" she screamed as the dragon aura around her turned into a dragon and rushed so fast at Rue he had no time to react, and he was hit down on the ground.
Terry sat up watching this. "Xena!?" Xena looked at him and smiled "Daddy…" then she collapsed and her dragon aura disappeared.
Terry ignored his wound for a moment and rushed to her, picking her up. "Xena…" He sighs and smiles softly at her. "Good job my little warrior…"
Rue sat up, his body still in control of Valeriea's magic. They started to fade in and out. "Terry…leave…now…" He says as he fought to stay in control. Terry turns to him. "What? But you…" "I didn't come here…to kill you…only to bring…mother back…" He groans out getting on his knees. "This witches magic…controls my body…I can only hold it at bay for so long. Leave, quickly!" Terry gets up. "If you come after us…" "I'm going…to Terrance…now go!" He yelled loud enough to push Terry back. Terry frowns and runs off back to the house.
Rue growls out as his eyes turned back black. 'Witch…I WILL kill you!' He yells as his body stood up. He head snapped to the direction of Terrance and Vernon. His wings appeared and he flew off at a high speed. He chuckled darkly. "Kill…Kill them all…!"
Jess was frowning looking out the window, her husbands hadn't heard but through Manon she did "what is going on out there….? "Lady Jess" she turned to see Michael walking over to her "Due tell why is Cien here?" Jess frowns at him and looks back out the window "for Ebony Michael" Michael sighs softly "What's a matter?" "I heard a dragon call… it sounded like Xena…" Jess says softly.
Michael blinked at her and looked outside "you wanna go to Oichi?" Jess thought for a moment and nodded "yeah, take me to her first let me change real quick" he looked at her has she snapped her fingers and her clothes changes into her royal military outfit. Michael blinked "Oh you haven't worn this to much" Jess chuckles "I should wear it a lot, Rick Chida!" she shouted with in seconds they both stepped into the room to see Jess in her outfit "Why are you wearing that?" "You not going to war are you?"
Jess chuckles at them "I don't know yet but I need go see Oichi.. something is wrong I can fell it watch the kids" they frown but nodded has Michael's outfit changed also in his angelic knight outfit waved his hand and his angelic portal opened. Him and her walked through it. Rick and Chida sighed "I hope she will be okay" Rick patted his shoulder "she'll be alright"
Terry rushed out the forest holding Xena, making it back to his yard. He didn't hold her to close since he was still bleeding on his chest. He saw River standing there with the girls and boys. "River!" River gasped "Terry!" Valora and Esme moved quickly "Dad!"
Terry hands Xena to her. "I need you to go back inside. I have to go back and help my dad. If Rue came here then that mean grandfather went to mother and she has the kids for today. Dad won't be able to protect them if they go all out." River held her "But your injured..! Terry please don't go your hurt!" "I have to. I can't just leave him to fight by himself." Terry says frowning.
Luke and Aaron frowned but felt, they turned to see their mother landing down and turning into her human form in her famous armor dress "River, Terry my sons have contacted me what's wrong?" "My grandfather and uncle are here. They are going after my dad."
Errier breathes softly "stay here with your family, you are in no condition to fight your grandfather and your uncle, stay" she says turning back into her dragon form and flew off. River took Terry's hand "Please you need to go see Julian or even Jess! You need to get healed…." She tears "please…." The girls held onto him "Dad… please?" Terry frowns at them and then sighs. "…Fine…"
At Terrance's Nia and the kids were still behind the barrier as Terrance fault Vernon. Terrance bit down on Vernon's neck and pushed him down on the burning house. He then blasted him with purple fire. Vernon roars our and used his wings to push the fire back. He stands up slowly shaking his body off. "Not bad my son…you have gotten stronger." "Father…stop this…you are willingly to hurt me and my family just to get to mother." "I am…Ana is more important to me then anything. Would you not go through anything for your mate?" "I would but not like this. Your putting my child, our grand's lives in danger. You hurt Nia! Mother would not approve of your actions!" Vernon snarls as he opened his mouth but instead of red flames they came out black.. Terrance was hit in the chest with it.. Nia, looking over the table gasp. "Terrance!"
Terrance shakes his body. "Black flames…" Vernon slowly walked to him. "Have you forgotten my son. I led the black dragon clan. One of the most vile tempered and cruel of all dragons. Our legend had passed down for being associated with powers of darkness and destruction." Black smoke huffed out of his nose. "It was your mother from white dragon clan who taught me that not everything needed to be destroyed. She is my everything and I would gladly go back to my cruel ways to get her back."
Terrance huffs out felling the sting on his chest from his father's fire. Nia frowned. "Terrance…" "I'll be fine Nia. I'll protect you no matter what." Terrance says breathing his purple flames out. Vernon fired a black fire ball that absorbed Terrance's flames and hit in neck. It knocked Terrance back and he fell to the ground. His body shook the ground almost like a earthquake making Nia and the kids scream out. Vernon watched as Terrance then shrinks down to his human form. His chest and neck were smoking and bleeding. Vernon hums out. "Bring your mother here or I will kill you."
Terrance frowned. "No." Vernon sighs. "Very well then. Have it your way." Just then Rue drops down pins Terrance to the ground. He placed a foot on his head and knee into his wounded chest. "Rue…what are you doing?" Vernon asked. Rue looked up at him with black eyes. "Killing of course." Vernon narrowed his eyes. "Your body has been taken over by her magic…release him." "Why? You were going to kill him anyways!? Let me make it easy on you!" Her held up his claw.
Nia bit her lip and leaps out the barrier. Jaliyah gasps. "Mama no!" Using her wolf speed she rushed Rue and take him away from Terrance. She grabbed his wings and with her full strength picked him up and slammed him into the ground damaging his wing. Vernon held in a chuckles as Nia stood in front of Terrance. "You will not touch him!" "…Very feisty indeed…for a wolf." Vernon says. Terrance held his chest and sat up. "Nia…get back." "And watch them beat up on you!? Don't be stupid!" She says snapping at him. "Your my husband! We fight together to protect our children!" She glared at Rue who brushed himself off. "So you want to die to? Very well. You both can die together!"
Then in front of her something landed, Rue and Vernon back away. There stood Errier, her red dragon's glowed and narrowed at him "Rue, Vernon its been far to long I see you arm has healed after I took a bite out of it when you attacked my kingdom Rue" Rue smirked and chuckled. "Play tough all you want. Your defenses were so easy to get by that even a pup could break through."
"Enough, you really wanna fight me? I'm more ancient than you" she said as her red dragon fire aura wrapped around Nia and Terrance "I'm quite not happy, after learning on what happen. Rue you are just a beast as always getting your little niece into harm's way, little Xena the poor dear" Nia's and Terrance's eyes widen.
"…and yet this beast was able to enter and attack your kingdom. Just because your ancient doesn't mean you can't be beaten." Turning into his dragon from their eyes widen to see Valeriea's crystal slowly starting to poke out of his chest. Terrance got up. "Brother stop! The more your body feed off her magic the deeper you get corrupted!" Vernon breathes out his black flames covering the ground in it. "Our bodies are long taken over by her. Even if we wanted to, once her magic activates our body is hers to command." Rue roars out as the crystal grew larger. He starts blasting fire everywhere, burning everything uncontrollably. Terrance grabbed Nia shielding her. Errier sighed "really know" left up her arm a fire blast that towards her hit her dragon aura shield.
Suddenly a large shadow covered them. White flames were shot down putting fire at ease. "Enough!" They heard a loud cry. Rue and Vernon started to back away as Anastasia drops down in her pure white form. On the back Oichi was riding her. She jumps down and runs to Nia and Terrance. "Ana…" Vernon says. "Stop this now. I told you that I would never forgive you if hurt our family." Rue glared at her and was about to blast her with fire but she was to quick for him. She breathed out her white flames covering his body. He roars out in pain falling to the ground. The crystal in his chest started to shrink as well as his body.
Anastasia looked at Vernon. "Are you going to fight me my love?" Vernon shook his head. "I could never…we would cancel each other out like we did the first time we battled…" He shrinks down to his human form. Looking up at her he smiled. "I yield…"
"Auntie!?" Oichi went to Nia who smiled. "Oichi! What are you doing here!?" "I thought removing Anastasia's collar would be the best for this situation. Are the kids, okay?" Nia nods. "Yes, in the barrier behind the table." She rushes to go get them. Oichi turns to Rue who was being held down by his mother's flames. Terrance walked past her. "Terrance?" "He is a danger to himself and others…the brother I knew was hot headed. Stubborn, and arrogant…but he loved his family more than anything…" He took out the prison cube Oichi gave him. He threw it at Rue and it trapped him inside. Rue frowned from inside. "Release me!" He yelled. He tried to transform but the cube prevents it. "Damn you brother! Damn you!" Terrance looked at him with sad eyes. "What has she done to you…" Errier sighs softly "oh shush Rue"
Anastasia goes back into her human form. Vernon walks up to her. "Ana…" Anastasia slaps him making his eyes widen. "You fool. Even when I said don't come, you came anyway. You almost took our family away!" "I'm sorry…" He says frowning. He held his cheek. It was stinging from the slap. He looked at Oichi. "…I will become your prisoner…all I wanted was my wife…" Oichi frowned. "Yes, but you still placed my aunt and the kids in harm's way. You will be placed in a different cell until I cut you from her connection. As for your son…" They looked at Rue who was banging on the orb. "He will be in solitary confinement until we figure out how to remove that crystal…" Vernon nods. "Yes, of course…" Anastasia holds her hands together. "Rue…"
A loud and hard impact hit the ground making them Look to See Jess and Michael. Jess blinked and groaned "Man.. I wanted to fight a dragon" she pouted Michael chuckled shaking his head. Errier chuckled "Queen Jess" Jess stepped over "Is everyone alright?" Oichi looked her up and down and raised her eyebrow. "Seriously? You got battle ready…"
Jess turned and looked at Vernon who backed up slightly "Oichi, put him a cell" Errier's eyebrow raised at her. Oichi shook her head. "Jess we already dealt with this. You a little to late to be telling me to put him in a cell."
Then Valora, Esme, Luke and Aaron dropped down next to them "Mom!" the boys shouted, Errier looked at them "boys" Valora and Esme ran up to their grandmother hugging her "Grandma!" Anastasia smiled hugging them back. "I'm so glad you two weren't hurt…" She glance at Vernon who sighs.
"Valora, Esme what you two doing here?" Jess asked. The girls looked at her "You must come to the house! It's dad! He wont stop bleeding! And little Xena is unconscious!" Jess's eyes widen as she floated and took off. Michael gasped "JESS!" he took off also. Errier breathes softly "Boys lets return home, Queen Oichi" she bowed her head and turned into her dragon taking off. Luke and Aaron watched her but turned to the girls. Luke kisses Valora on the cheek and Aaron kisses Esme on the cheek. Turning into their dragon forms they took off.
Oichi sighs. "Terrance go with Anastasia and check on Terry." Terrance nods. "What of Rue and father?" Oichi held up a collar. "He will help us get Nia and the kids back to the house and then he will be placed in a cell for now." Vernon watches Oichi walk up to him. She placed the collar around his neck. "Grab your son and follow me." She says. Vernon nods. "Yes. Queen Oichi."
Jess in River's and Terry's home, River was on the couch with a small golden arch over her head. Michael had put her into a calming sleep so River would not gone into to much stress. Xena was on the loveseat fast asleep. Terry was on table in the dining room. Has Jess's hand hovered over terry's wound, she muttering a spell. Jareth was on chair sniffing holding his dragon plushie "daddy gonna be okay…?" Michael patted his head "Of course he is" he says as Terrance and Anastasia rushed into the house. Jareth teared "Grandpa! Nana!" Anastasia smiles at him and picks him up. "Aw don't cry little one." She hugs him. Jareth hugged her back "Sissy asleep… bad man came.. hurt daddy and sissy…" "I know dear. Don't worry he won't hurt them or anyone else anymore."
Jess's spell stopped "alright I stopped the bleeding but he needs to go to the ER, me and Michael will take him" Terrance nods.
"River will wake up in couple of hours when the arch disappears, sorry about that it was the only way to calm her down" Jess says. "You did what you had to do. Mother can you stay here for a moment. I need to make sure father and Rue doesn't cause to much trouble." Anastasia nods. "I don't mind. Please be mindful of your father…" "I will." He rushed out the door and flew back over the forest.
Semyaza was sitting in his room with his knees up to his chest. He sighs. 'What was I think yelling at mom like that…' He rubbed his feather that was around his neck. It had a spell that hid his orb. He leans back and looks up at the ceiling when suddenly the house shook. He gasps and sat up. His father was home and he could feel he wasn't to happy. "SEMYAZA!" He heard his name being screamed. "Get down here NOW!" Semyaza bit his lip and got off his bed. Opening his door he walked down stairs to see Paxton fuming. Sonya was in the kitchen silent. Skylar and the twins were with Aliyah for the day.
Paxton had his arms crossed. "Dad…" "I don't want to hear your excuses. Do you think it's okay to talk to your mother the way you did?! Just because she was worried about you!?" Semyaza held his head down. "Hold your head up when I'm speaking to you!" Paxton snaps, making Semyaza lifted his head. He shook. "All you do is get up and leave this house. We don't ask you to do much. You do your chores, you watch your siblings, then you are free to do whatever you want however you have been bailing on those things. Disappearing in the middle of the day, coming back late at night, Locking yourself in your room! Of course, we would be worried! You do not get to yell and fly off at the mouth because your mother is worried for you health and safety. Do you understand me!?" "Y-Yes sir…" Paxton narrows his eyes. "You are grounded." "What!?" Semyaza says with a gasp.
"You heard me. You are grounded. You will not leave this house unless it's for school or work. No more exploring, no hanging out with friends, no TV or games!" He reached down and pulled at his feather necklace breaking the curse. "No! Not that!" Semyaza says trying to grab it. Paxton pushed his hand away. "I don't know what the hell this is, but ever since you got it your attitude has changed." "Please dad! Anything but that!" "Go to you room." Semyaza bit his lip and turns around running to his room. Paxton heard the door slam shut. He sighs and looks at the orb. "Ross mention something about this orb but I wasn't really listening…I'll have to check it out later."
Terry in the ER, he laid there under morphine and Zach is sticking him up with special needles that can into dragon's skin. "How you feeling Terry?" Terry looked at Zach like he was high "where's my soft rose?" Zach chuckled "she's at home, Michael will bring you home" Jess stepped in now in a different outfit, green tank top, black skirt, and black flip flops. Terry smiled "Hey there witchy!" Jess raised her eyebrow then chuckled "Hey Terry how are you feeling?" Terry started to hum out. Jess giggled "How is he doing?" she asked Zach, Zach chuckles "Oh he's fine, I'm almost gone stitching him up then Michael can take him home" Jess nodded.
At the castle. In the underground cells, Rue was placed inside the same chamber that once held Terry. He had calmed down and was wearing a collar. His hands were cuffed sealing his dragon power. Oichi was standing in front of him. "…Do you know who I am?" She asked. Rue looked at her. "Queen of wolves…Oichi…" "Very good…do you know where you are?" "…Your kingdom, Xacron…" "Mhmm…do you know why you are in this chamber?" "…For attacking my nephew and his daughter." "Correct…" Oichi crossed her arms. "Did you mean to do the things you did? Like an attack on that dragon kingdom?" "No…I had no control over my body…It's like I blacked out for a moment and return only when I was told to return…"
"Yes, sounds like when Terrance was being control. I can help you, but you will have to make amends…" Rue looked at her. "Help me? Why?" "Because your Terrance's brother. When he was under the witches control, he did a lot of bad things to. Once he was freed, he swore his loyalty to me, and he has been my trusted guard ever since. With that said, you and your clan were killed by greed and bad circumstances. He had to live his life alone. I want him to have his family back and that includes you." Rue sighs. "You are just a wolf…how can you possibly save me. I'm already dead."
Oichi rolled her eyes. "You are a very foolish dragon. I may be a wolf but I one of a kind. I can do things no mere wolf can such as linking my own aura into your soul to perverse your life." Rue's eyes widen. "What?" Oichi turns around. "I will leave you in this cell to think about your actions. I hope you decide that you want my help. Maybe if you actually sat down with Terry and his family you would understand how in love your mother is with them. I think you would adore little Xena once she gets to see how truly kindhearted you are." "Me? Kindhearted?" Rue says in shock. Oichi chuckled. "You could have hurt her more, but you didn't. You scared the crap out of her, but nothing indicated that you hurt her physically. As I said, think about it as you sit in here." She walked out. The door opened and closed, leaving Rue in by himself. He sighs. 'She was cute…I doubt I could apologize to her provided she isn't frightened of me forever…" Rue sinks into his bed. "Then again…maybe that is for the best."
At River's and Terry's, Xena was getting up. She sat up and looked around. Jareth was in Anastasia's lap. Xena sniffed "nana?" Anastasia's eyes widen and look at her as she started to tear "where daddy?" "Don't worry sweetie. He will be back shortly." Anastasia says smiling softly at her.
hearing flapping wings, she looked to see Michael walk in with Terry helping him walk in. Xena gasped "Daddy!" she right away jumped at him. Terry in his high state managed to catch her "Me save daddy?" Michael blinked "save…? Did she do something?" Xena nodded "Me warrior! Me have warrior powers!" she giggled. "It shouldn't be surprising that she has a dragon ability." Anastasia says smiling.
Michael hummed out "well in couple of days Jess will be back to check on you all and if you want, she can read Terry's mind on what Xena looked like when she was using her powers?" "There is no need." She says chuckling. "I can already see what they are."
Michael bowed and left the house. Xena snuggled into Terry "Me protect daddy! Me a good girl!" Anastasia smiled and got up with Jareth on her hip. She grabbed Terry's arm and pulled him to the couch and sat him down. "Let your daddy rest a little bit more, okay?" She says sitting back down.
Xena nodded "Okay nana" then they see the golden ark disappear from above River's forehead. And she woke up with a groan slightly. Anastasia stepped over to her help her sit up, River blinked and saw Terry who gave her a high smile "my sleeping beauty finally woke up" River's eyes widen and turned red "Terry…" Xena hugged her leg "Mama!" River smiled brightly "Oh my little warrior, you alright" Xena giggled. Then River's stomach grumbled making Terry and Anastasia chuckle "You hungry dear?" River nodded with a flush. "Excellent, then I shall make us a wonderful meal. Thanks to those cook bookings Lady Oichi gave me I can at least prepare something fulling." Anastasia says with an excited look in her eye. (others)
Underwater, within the underwater kingdom, Eve had Rex's nano bots and was upgrading her. Mikey was watching from the other side of the room. Star walked up to him. "The process will not take long. Once he is gone he will be able to send you home and back here if you want." Mikey looked at her. "So you are leaving with them?" Star sighs. "I don't know…it's not like we asked to be here, we just settled but our tech is limited by your earth ways. Your not as advances as our world was. Sooner or later…mother will decided to put us to sleep forever…" Mikey frowns at that. "Do you think she would let you stay here?" Star eyes widen. "Wha? No! She would never…" "Given you standards…your only 20 meaning you aren't even within the lines of your mother and the others. Your mother has 20 million years of experience…I think you can accomplish more if you stayed here with us and help us reach a different level of status."
"What do you mean?" Mikey looks at his hands. "We pure blood wolves don't use magic. We must find a way to keep up in a world that uses it a lot. A regular human can even have the chance to unlock untapped potential within them…while we are stronger and have a must durable body against magic one day even that wont be enough and wolves my become obsolete. My father and his father didn't want something like that to happen so they to turned to science. It is now my goal to make sure we don't fall behind. I must learn everything I can to make sure my sister's dream for peace becomes reality." Star smiles at him. "I see…it is a wonderful goal to turn to…"
Suddenly the doors to the room opened. Eve walked out holding Rex's nano ball. "It is done…" She drops him and the ball hovers in mid-air. His bots split a part and formed his body. He blinks and looks at his himself. He looked shiner then before. Mikey walked up to him. "Rex? How are you feeling?" Rex looks at him and gave him a smile. "I feel wonderful Sir." Mikey blinks at that smile. "Your…smiling?" Rex chuckled. "I am and it feels nice to smile." He squeezes his hands together. "I feel strong and excited. I like this." Eve chuckled. "Rex now has the ability to create stronger barriers for your city now. He can now deflect magic, absorb it, analyze it, and store it in his memory bank. That will help you plan your attack against the dark forces better. With his mind now more active and freer he will become more creative and take initiative into doing his own things. I have also stored a lot of other information within his mind to help you along your way. I do hope this will sever as an apology for dragging you down here."
Mikey nods. "Yes, this will do…" Rex smiles. "Sir? Are you ready to go? There is something I have been dying to try." "Already?" Rex nods. "Okay then…let's get Michi and Zane and head home." "Just a moment." Eve says. "Once you leave this place we will no longer be here." Star frowned looking down. "However, I leave this place, our work with you." Mikey frowned. "Why?" "We no longer need it. I can tell that your mind works differently then others. Use this place to openly create your own desires. It's okay to have your own dreams to." Mikey hums out. "I see…thank you? I will use it to the best of my abilities." "I know…and that is also why I will leave my daughter here to help you." Star's head snaps up. "What?! But mother!" "I think you would fit in much better in this time then us. Help Mikey and find your own purpose in life." Star smiles and goes to hug her mother. "Mom…I'll miss you." Eve smiles and hugs her back. "I know…keep your head up for the future…" Star backs away and looks at Mikey. "Let's get your siblings. I am quite excited to see the world above!" Mikey nods. Rex places a hand on their shoulders and teleports them away. Eve breathes out softly. 'Farwell my daughter…'
In the castle, Oichi sighs as she walked through the hall. She stopped by the twin's room and walked in. She smiled to see them both napping peacefully. Orochi was laying on the couch sleeping as well. She walked in and placed a blanket over him before leaving. She closed the door quietly and went on to her office.
She turned the corner when a light shine in front of her. She blinks as the guards quivkly came to defend her. Oichi sniffs and her eyes widen. "Lower your weapons." She commanded. The guards listened and watched as Mikey, Zane, Michi, Star, and Rex appeared in front of them. "Your back!" Oichi runs up and tackle Zane into a hug making him chuckle. "Sorry we…." "Shush! No time! Go home now! Rose has been so worried!" Zane gasps. "Your right! Dammit!" He ran off.
Oichi turned to Michi and stomps to her. "And you! Why did you leave knowing you were pregnant! Nate almost die when he stormed into my office to yell at me!" Michi frown. "H-He did?" Mikey frowned. "He did…" Oichi grabbed Michi's arm. "I don't care how much you hate me but I see you not as a clone but as my sister!" Michi's starts to tear. "What…?" Oichi hugged her. "I've been so worried about you! Nate to. He has been coming by here every day no stop to see if we had anything." Michi sniffs. "He has?" "Yes, he loves you dearly. Now be a good girl and follow one of the guards to the medical room. We have to make sure you're okay." She nods and follows the guards.
Oichi then turns to Mikey and Star. She raises her eyebrow at her. "Mikey…" "I'll explain later. For now, how was Ziana?" "Just as worried. She likes you. You know that right?" "Yes." "You gonna break her heart?" "Probably not. I'm interested. I think I'm gonna put our practice use." Oichi chuckled and hugged him. "Lady Oichi?" She turns to see Rex smiling at her. It confused her. "Rex? Your…smiling…" "I had a major upgrade and I wish to explore my new systems. Maybe I borrow you please?" Oichi hums out. "Okay…" She walks up to him. Suddenly Rex wrapped his arms around her, held her tight, and kissed her.
Her eyes widen at this, shocked by his actions. Mikey and the guards were also shocked. Mikey quickly went to them and pulled her away. "Rex! What do you think you're doing!?" Rex linked his lips and then rubbed them. "I notice a lot of people kiss and I've always wondered what that felt like. I thought it was fitting to use Queen Oichi. She is my queen to you know." Oichi's face turned red. Mikey sighs. "Held to the lab, take Star with you." Rex chuckled and bows before leaving with Star.
"You okay?" Mikey asked. "Yeah…you have a lot of explaining to do hut for bow go to your room. I had Ziana placed in there for now. I couldn't have her in the lab in case we actually found your location. Didn't need her running off." Mikey nods and walks off. Oichi smiled and goes to call Nate about Michi.
In his room, Ziana sniffed holding Mikey's pillow. She had been terribly worried about him. 'Mikey…' She turned over in his bed. 'Where are you…'
Suddenly the door opened and Mikey walked in with a sigh. "I nearly forgot where my room was…" "Mikey!" Ziana hops up and rushes to him but he holds his hand up making her slide slightly on her feet before she got closer to him. "Mikey?" "Just give me a moment…I've been practicing this with Oichi…but it's a bit difficult to do." Ziana blinks in confusion.
Mikey sighs and drops his head. A few seconds later he looks back up at her with a softer expression. He then flashed the brightest smile she's seen from him. "I'm home Ziana…" He says before grabbing her waist, pulled her close, and planted a kiss on her lips.
